Josh Peck (0:00)

The following podcast is a Dear Media production. Mazel Morons, welcome back to the Good Guys Podcast.

Ben Soffer (0:36)

Will our bakers be able to fool you? This is Sweet Deceit.

Josh Peck (0:42)

This is Sweet to Eat.

Ben Soffer (0:44)

Josh, it was excellent.

Josh Peck (0:47)

Yeah, you watched?

Ben Soffer (0:48)

Of course I watched. Now, did I watch live at 10 p.m.? No, I was asleep.

Josh Peck (0:52)

It's crazy.

Ben Soffer (0:52)

Did I watch the next day on HBO Max? Hell yeah, I did. Hell yeah. And do you know how fortunate it is? HBO Max is the one we all share. Don't tell Netflix. We all share, me, Claudia, Jackie, Olivia, we all share the various accounts. I own the HBO Max one. I'm the one who pays for it. So I knew the password was locked into my phone. Otherwise, Josh, we would have had a problem. Me trying to get into the family Netflix from my phone, never gonna happen. It's preloaded in the TV. I had HBO Max. I went in. I, Sweet Deceit, your beautiful face pops up.

Josh Peck (1:29)

Love it, love it, love it.

Ben Soffer (1:29)

With the wonderful cake maker and the three beautiful contestants, all with wonderful hair. And I have to say, the highlight was watching that guy bite into a pair of keys.

Josh Peck (1:40)

Right? It is completely, it gives you the willies this show. It literally haunts you.

Ben Soffer (1:46)

It's great. It's like kind of Alton Brownie, kind of, I don't know. It like combines like a bunch of good elements from a bunch of different types of shows and makes one very entertaining show.

Josh Peck (2:00)

Thank you so much. It's certainly not reminiscent at all of Is It Cake? I don't care who keeps saying that. It's not, okay. It's its own show.

But I agree with you. I think we've distilled down the best parts of many different shows and like watching shows like this with my kids, all we want to do is debate on who's going to win, what the secret thing is. And we get to do that four times on this show.

Ben Soffer (2:25)

Yeah, you gamified the experience for the audience. I'm there. I'm like, it's the keys. It's the keys. It wasn't the keys. But like, I'm guessing. I'm guessing. And then when you're wrong, you're like, oh shit. It was great.

It was great. Bravo. And if you haven't watched Sweet Deceit, it's live Monday nights, 10 o'clock.

Josh Peck (2:45)

What a man.

Ben Soffer (2:45)

Food Network or the next day, HBO Max. Ever heard of it?

Josh Peck (2:51)

So now assuming we're going to get a second season as it's written in the stars, unless I completely tank this thing, my code name is the Titanic. But okay, assuming we get our second season, where does Ben Soffer fit in? Cause that's all I care about.

SPEAKER_3 (3:06)

What are you going to do in the show?

Ben Soffer (3:08)

That's a good question. Where does Ben Soffer fit in in the show?

Josh Peck (3:11)

That's right.

Ben Soffer (3:12)

I think that maybe I am like prepping these people. Maybe I'm, maybe, maybe I'm not in, maybe we're not in the same scenes, right Josh? Maybe I meet them, maybe I meet them at their home. Maybe I vet them, okay? Maybe I talk to them and prep them, train them. Maybe I sort of Mr. Miyagi, how I can train them to really understand the differences between cake and a desk, okay? That's right. Cake and a desk, because I understand these people, escape room experts. Sure, but they fucked up a ton, right? They didn't get it. They left cold hard cash on the table, okay? Stone cold cash was left on the table. They only walked home with $7,500 of the $12,500. So maybe if they got a little bit of training from me, right, you like this?

Josh Peck (4:04)

I love it.

Ben Soffer (4:04)

It's a little boot camp, boot camp. Easy, no, I was about to say, is it cake boot camp?

Josh Peck (4:11)

Hold your tongue. It has nothing to do with that show, nothing, nothing.

Ben Soffer (4:17)

I've never even seen the show. It's just that is what the question is. Is it cake?

Is the question.

Josh Peck (4:26)

No, it's a great title.

Ben Soffer (4:28)

It's a great title.

Josh Peck (4:29)

It's a great title.

Ben Soffer (4:30)

Because the question is, is it cake?

Josh Peck (4:34)

The real difference is that is it cake is all about the bakers are competing against the bakers, right?
