This week, we’re joined by world-famous mentalist Oz Pearlman, and things immediately go off the rails. Oz reads minds in real time, exposes how easily Josh and Ben give away their thoughts, and pulls off tricks that make absolutely zero sense - even after he explains them. We get into Oz’s viral moments with Joe Rogan and Howard Stern, the truth about whether magic is actually real, and why mind reading works even when yo...
Mazel Morons, and Merry Christmas! Today, Santa crash-landed into the studio - except it’s actually just Nick Antonyan (aka the one and only Jonah) in a full Santa suit. We get into Jewish Christmas discourse, Armenian holiday food, unhinged Christmas gifts, Hollywood manifestation, and a surprisingly sincere convo about betting on yourself and making impossible dreams happen. Plus: airline maps, childhood obesity, and why...
Mazel Morons! Today, we’re diving into the messy science of metabolism- does it actually slow down with age, or are we just… fat? The guys debate fast vs. slow metabolisms, Michael Phelps’ 12,000-calorie diet, childhood food trauma, GLP-1s, fasting culture, and how much the brain really burns thinking (spoiler: not enough to earn a Snickers). Plus: the greatest candy of all time, the danger of gas-station Kratom, menstrual...
Mazel morons! Today, Josh explains the very specific mechanics of tanning beds (including pressure points and personal boundaries), while Ben recounts a nightmare creator dinner that ends in public humiliation. Plus: TikTok Live money, QVC sliding into the DMs, awkward public encounters, and why sometimes it’s best to just… stand up and move out of the aisle. What are ya nuts? Love ya!
Today, we're joined by the Parisian queen herself, our DARLING Joey Camasta! We cover everything from Botox injection sites to Josh’s Miss Nancy drag era, from Parisian homeless men drinking champagne to why Joey might defect to France for the tax bracket alone. We talk Snooki, cookie cults, plastic surgery wish-lists, Hallmark gay-movie monopolies, Putin’s alleged soft side (??), and Joey’s dream to star opposite Josh in ...
Mazel Morons! It's another gorgeous Thursday here with the Good Guys IN PERSON! Josh and Ben are reunited back in the city and oh boy is it beautiful. We start off delving into our favorite Chinese restaurants, and end up deciding to fast and go vegan in 2026... We'll see which one sticks. Plus, we recap our recent Amazon Live, delve into AI wives, The Shade Room, therapy, and answer an *extremely* juicy piece of Moron Mai...
Mazel Morons! Robby Hoffman is back, and we dive straight into the things she understands better than anyone: growing up nothing adjacent, surviving cockroaches, Vegas weddings, and manifesting a career apex that felt eventual and inevitable. We talk self-worth, career patience, good marriages (shoutout Gabby, Claudia, and Paige!) bad tipping systems, and the gift of finding someone who refines you instead of reshaping you...
Mazel Morons! Today we’re deep in our natural habitat: consumerism, contusions, and cursed outlet mall energy. We navigate in-person recordings, red-eyes, and the emotional minefield of December travel optimism. From classic baby name philosophy to monetizing our QVC daydreams on Amazon Live, this is peak Good Guys logic - where the sales are salmon, the bruises are blue, and the gratitude is real. Five stars- otherwise wh...
Mazel morons! Today, we sit down with former CIA officer and bestselling author Andrew Bustamante for one of the wildest conversations we’ve ever had. We talk Epstein files, how the government actually hides secrets, CIA interrogation tests, what really happens inside Langley, how to escape a mugger (Ben’s “fake phone call” technique gets reviewed), digital security nightmares, and the truth behind spy tradecraft. Plus, a ...
Mazel Morons and Happy Thanksgiving! We’re kicking things off in proper Good Guys fashion with a full Halloween recap on Thanksgiving, including Ben’s cross-dressing origin story and the moment CVS betrayed him with a wall of XXL Shaq-branded peach gummies. Josh walks us through the peak joys of trick-or-treating with kids, and somehow we immediately pivot into Jewish diners, bergamot-brisket–themed cologne, and whether re...
Mazel Morons! Today, we’re sitting down with the one and only Ryan Serhant to talk about the wild reality of selling $90M homes, dealing with impatient billionaires, and why buying a $308M property over text is apparently normal now. We get into influencer real estate (he wants us to become agents, which… honestly, might crush it), the future of cities like New York and LA, and the psychology behind extreme wealth. Ryan al...
Mazel Morons! Today we’re beautifully making our way through all the important topics: why Mormons are elite coworkers, the mystery of Jewish Jeromes, Jeremy Allen White’s “total package” energy, and Josh’s emerging destiny as the King of Bollywood. The guys pitch their worst business ideas yet (bottled pasta water, anyone?), debate phone-free parenting, unpack cheating ethics, and process some incredibly informational Syd...
Mazel morons! This week, we’re joined by the Head of Instagram himself, Adam Mosseri, for a revealing, hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt breakdown of how IG actually works. We ask every question you’ve ever yelled into the void: Is shadow banning real? Why did your reach plummet overnight? Does the algorithm have feelings? And yes- where the hell is it even stored?
Adam explains the truth about Reels, why funn...
Mazel morons! Josh is back from his sabbatical and Ben’s been deep in a documentary rabbit hole about “troubled teen” camps- naturally leading to a wild convo about boarding school trauma, East Coast privilege, and Planet Fitness cold plunges. Plus, Ben tries out an AI massage, Josh’s son lands a plastic surgeon after a playground injury (yes, it’s the most LA thing ever), and we debate proper schvitz etiquette. Aka, NO SP...
Mazel morons! Comedian and legend Kathy Griffin joins us for a no-holds-barred conversation about her life on (and off) the D-List. Kathy opens up about her $218K facelift, her infamous Trump photo scandal, the fallout that changed her career, and why she’s back on the dating apps- with Sia and Nia Vardalos as her wingwomen. She also dishes on Post Malone, Andy Cohen, Joan Rivers, and how she’s reclaiming her narrative wit...
Mazel morons! Today Ben’s feeling skinny (thank you, Zepbound), Josh’s dishing gym wisdom, and together we unpack Ozempic science, LA beauty standards, overpriced popcorn, dopamine traps, why you should never pickle on vacation, and why LA makes everyone just a little hotter. We also confess our screen-time addictions, talk dad life, and end with a What Are Ya Nuts that involves Target, 20 grand in cash, and questionable d...
Mazel morons! We’re back in L.A. and more in love than ever. From $250 salads at the Beverly Hills Hotel to the unspoken rules of tipping culture, the guys go deep on what makes this city (and its people) meshuga. We recap our dinner at Craig’s, spill behind-the-scenes tea from Bert Kreischer’s mansion, and get unexpectedly heartfelt about money, marriage, and what makes a relationship actually work. Plus: we debate belly ...
Mazel morons! Comedian Matt McCusker joins us for one of our wildest episodes yet. We debate deodorant hygiene and why Matt refuses to wear it, trade personal injury stories that would make an insurance adjuster faint, and unpack his wife’s viral ESPYs moment. Matt also reveals how his new Netflix special came together, why he almost filmed it in Ontario, and whether he’d ever take Saudi blood money for a gig. Plus: arrang...
Mazel morons! Today we are going live with our first-ever caller, and things get deep fast - from fatherly advice for new parents to wild baby-soothing fails and chaotic husband behavior. Ben gears up for his big trip to LA (and a possible Lakers game with Josh), while Josh shares a real-life soccer stadium medical emergency that left him shook. Plus: medieval “medicine,” microplastics, AI gone rogue, and the guys debate c...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
