Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - 150th Episode with Special Guest Rusty Dick

Episode Date: April 21, 2021

Broes and hoes… somehow, someway, we’ve made it to episode 150. Joining us for this monumental occasion is our man Rusty Dick, aka country music star and new daddy Russell Dickerson. Before we chat with him and play his new single Home Sweet, we have all the usual antics for you (yes, including a Challenge update, get the vax and relaxxxx). We learn that Wells’ days of being a young drinker are over, and Brandi reminds him that simply, his days of being young are over. We discuss dinner and pool party faux pas, Braison’s almost-here baby, and Trace’s neck tattoos that caused Tizzle to bawl her eyes out. (Sorry MT!) Wells also discusses how he plans to enjoy every bite of his meals moving forward and savor the moment like they do in Europe. Actually, we should probably do a few more things like they do over there… Then, Rusty Dick joins us to talk about shitting! All in a day's work, people!

I am so hungover. it has to be you i know i just i know that everyone says this when they are hung over they're like i'm never gonna drink again and i know that i will drink again but i think that brandy hear me out because i had a pool party last night or yesterday i think that my days of being a young drinker are over well since your days of being young are over i would agree with that i played beer pong how there wasn't a super spreader event with like some crazy pandemic in college when we were all like throwing ping pong balls into actual beer and the balls would fall on the ground and like hair and pubes would get on and we'd like rinse it off in that water and be like it's clean now no it's not what

are we talking about and then throw it in and then we drink it pre-pandemic i went to a fraternity party or whatever i went back to like my alma mater and i went to a party and they were all playing with water instead of beer and i was like you, you fucking pussies. You can't drink real beer. And they're like, that's disgusting. I'm like, back in my day, we forged through the hepatitis that we were going to get from this. And now I'm like, oh, yeah, I was pretty smart. But anyways, I played last night. I played beer pong, but throwing it into water.

But I drank too much. And I played cornhole. Like, I just did. You're right. I'm just not a young man anymore. And so now I need to pivot over to dinner parties. The problem is, here's my least favorite thing about dinner parties.

You've always got the one couple friend that they're like respectful of. Okay, it's 1030. We're going gonna bail. And then you have the group of friends that are fun and you love them that fucking, you've gotta be like, it's 1230 guys. I've gotta wake up in the morning and work. You need to get the fuck out of my house.

And I'm sorry that you don't have a job, but I need you to leave. And now you're not gonna get invited back next time. And also like, I am such an easy prey for peer pressure, especially when I get a couple drinks in. And then that group of friends is like, let's do shots of whiskey. And you're like, it's Tuesday.

Okay. So just don't be those people. Yeah. I don't be those people. Yeah. I don't know. I've always done this. Like if I have people over to my house or I have a party at my house, when I'm ready to go to sleep, I just go to sleep.

And like, if there's people in my house, like good for them, like you can stay, you can go, but like I'm going to sleep. I'm notorious for the Irish exit and, or you call it a gypsy fade.

Gypsy fade. But Sarah gets quite upset with me if i do that because then it's just her with everybody else your boy's got to pull the ripcord all right like if you can love me at my best you have to love me at my worst and one of my worst is about 2 a.m on a saturday night when i'm just blackout drunk and i your boy needs to go to bed so that's just that but anyways my whole thing is that if you get invited to a dinner party, and this isn't like specific to anybody, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, you need to leave by 1030. That's the rule. Yeah, I would agree. Sorry. Even if the hosts are like, stay, let's smoke some pot. Be like, nope, I'm leaving

it. It's 1030. I have to leave. Wells told me this rule. Let's smoke some pot. It's always going to happen. Who's dinner party at you at? Tish's? It always devolves. Like dinner parties start out so fancy. People are like, let me mix you a drink. You want to do a martini or whatever? You have like nice apps.

You sit down. You talk about fucking politics and, you know, like how everyone's family is doing. And then all of a sudden it devolves to like your shirts off you're playing beer pong in the backyard and you're like what happened we went from like filet mignons and poached eggs over asparagus to like we just post made we just post made a taco bell at two in the morning that devolved quickly anyways we should start the show oh yeah we should start the show. Oh, yeah, we should. Yeah. Is it me or you? I think it's maybe me.

Go for it. Bros and hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with... Wells, who's a bit hungover, and Brandy. Episode 150. How have we been doing this for this long? I don't know. Well, I mean, we went into a time flux where we lost an entire year. So that's like 50 episodes right there. What's funny is, and I think we talked about this on episode 100.

It took us three years to get to episode 50 because we would, we would just, I remember originally we were like, it's a bi-monthly podcast, but like, we'd be lucky if we got like one episode in a month. Seriously. And you know what? Our numbers were much better back then. I wonder if people get too much of us. So maybe we should go back to that. But anyways, it took us three years to get to 50. And then I feel like we've gotten to 150 in like seven minutes. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. But you know what? I'm so thankful for YFT. I love this podcast. It's

the highlight of my week is getting to hang out with you guys and Wells, I guess. And I just am thankful. I'm thankful for you guys, too. I'm also thankful that I get to hang out with me because I'm pretty great. Excited for the show. Later, we're going to have a repeat offender, the Rusty Dick on, Russell Dickerson. He's got a new baby the cutest so he's gonna probably just talk about his baby i don't even like kids that much but his kid is cute his kid is cute it's a chunker i am excited to talk with him again because he's just a funny dude

speaking of babies you know my brother brazen is about to have one in like two months, not even a month and a half. What's he going to name it? I mean, Brazen's not the one actually having a child, obviously. But you know what? I don't know. Last time I talked to him, they were going back and forth on names. But it is a boy. I know that.

Thank God. Like, if I had a girl, return to sender. Like, boys are so much more fun. So it's a little boy. And I already bought it. It's cute. Like, the best part about a kid or baby if you will buying clothes like it is so fun to buy clothes for a kid yeah have you been on like zara zara for kids clothing prices are great

styles are cute as hell like zara is my go-to place to shop for baby clothes when my friends or now my brother are having a child so this is gonna be the first niece or nephew you're gonna have huh yeah isn't that insane i know i've had nine nieces and nephews i don't buy we don't i don't buy any of those kids nothing i'll tell you why you don't no, they have everything they need. Two, there's nine of them. So the hand-me-downs are fire. That's true. Dude, I lived off

I don't think I got a new piece of clothing because I'm the youngest of five. I don't think I got a new piece of clothing until college, okay? And them's the breaks, guys. If you have a bunch of siblings or a bunch of nieces and nephews or cousins and stuff,

you got to have the hand-me-downs. I was the oldest. So I got all the cute new stuff. Yeah. Oh, you, I was working it. Dang it.

And then there's like pictures where like Miley's and something that I, that was mine. And then Noah, it's so fun. I'm like, I had that first. Yeah. Oh,

that's so great. Well, that's exciting that he's having a kid. I'm excited to see what the name is going to be. Because you guys, I feel like, all have weird names. Oh, you know it's going to be a weird name. Yeah. Wouldn't be right if it wasn't.

Is Brazen the tattoo guy? No, that's Trace. Although, Brazen has many tattoos. It's hard to compare anyone to Trace tattoo-wise because Trace is fully covered. Everybody in my family, really except me, has a ton of tattoos. But Trace just has so many that the rest of us, it's like, oh, yeah, they don't have that many, but they do. Like, Brazen is tatted. He's just not covered, head and toe, like Trace Cyrus.

Were your parents that you've got too many tattoos ever? But they have so many tattoos. I know so many tattoos like they can't really talk like i don't think people realize how many tattoos my mom has i mean some of them show but for the most part they're just hidden like you just don't see them often but like her entire back is done really she's got huge wings down her whole back like it's crazy you just don't really see it and she's got these huge roses on over her hips and she's so tiny they like basically take up her entire torso she's tatted up she's got angel wings she's an angel so it makes sense i do remember to trace like he he just got he like got tatted up real quick but he had reached a point where he ran out of space on his body and started doing his neck yeah and i'll never forget when he got

his neck tatted he came home and my mom just started bawling crying really yeah she was also having a midlife crisis at the time which probably played into the emotional aspect of it but she was upset there's no coming back from the neck also the face he's got some face tats too right yeah they're tiny i like the face tat you do they're cool from the neck. Also the face. He's got some face tats too, right? Yeah. They're tiny. I like the face tat. I think they're cool. But the neck, like I heard it hurt so bad. What if when you're 50, like something big happens, you're like, I need to put this on my body. But then you're like, I don't have anywhere to put it now. Yeah. No space. You know, when you get older, you start learning things. I get it now, dad. I get it. Shoehorns guys. Shoehorns. Have we looked into shoe horns?

Can't say that I have. You know what a shoe horn is? Mm-hmm. Helps your foot go into shoes. Mm-hmm. And I don't, it's not because I'm fucking old and I can't bend down and like put my shoe on. But I will say this. I'm at a point in my life where I don't need my finger to hurt when I shove my heel in the back of my shoe.

You know, because you do that, you'd make your finger be the shoe horn, right? I don't think I do that. Don't you untie your shoes and loosen them up and then slide your foot into a loosened shoe and then you tie it back up? I think most of my sneaks, which are the only shoes that tie, I like leave tied so loose I can just slip them on and off. It's kind of a look. I don't like that. Yeah, I know. I don't like that.

Anyways, with my running shoes, I keep them tight because they can't be flying off unless I'm sprinting down Ventura Boulevard. Well, then, yeah, I would just untie them, put it on, tie them back up. Yeah, but if you have the shoehorn, Brandy, can just slide it on in there. And it's always tight. I thought it was so stupid until like I got sent a pair of shoes that had a shoehorn in. I was like, all right, I'll do it. And now I'm just a shoehorn boy. All right. Quick PSA for those of you out there who rent. If you haven't heard of built, you're about to thank me.

The challenge, I'm not even on the show, but it's just so beautiful what's happening. Fessy is such a bitch and he never likes any of his partners. And so he goes down into the pit to do hall brawl against kyle it breaks his finger i told you broke his finger so we could get casey as a partner gets rid of the last girl that he thinks is a weak link so then ct my favorite guy on the show ends up getting her here's the thing fessy i'm also new dude. But like, it seems to me that every time the final is a long run, like you have to run up a fucking hill or something. That's how the last one was that Johnny won.

Same thing. You got rid of the one girl who's a fucking runner. Are you kidding me? So, of course, CT and Amber fucking destroy everybody with both check marks. And Fessy's being such a bitch, being like, come on, you got to hurry up. You got to hurry up. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Pushing her so hard that she falls and blows her knee out. The poor girl's writhing in pain on the ground and Fessy's just sitting there being like, I'm going to lose a million dollars. But the girl wraps her knee up and says, fuck it, I'm going,

runs down to the hill. They got to go eat all the gross shit, testicles, blood, all this stuff. Of course, CT and Amber absolutely crush it. And Fessy's like, I'm not going to eat it because I know that you can't compete because your knee's blown out. Meanwhile, the girls with their knee blown out is eating the testicles and drinking the blood and being like just fucking eat let's go let's go let's go and he's being such a bitch

and i loved it everything's happened my only problem is is that i'm worried that ct isn't going to win because it seems like he's doing so well now that like there's gotta be something that comes back or like there's just no like climax or whatever or like story arc but i'm telling you what brandy ct is looking gravy and bessie see you later bro you're not even gonna get to the second checkpoint love it you gotta watch a challenge wow do i you do it's so good i don't think so. Your recaps are good. I feel like I've seen it. Yeah. Now you know. Now I know. And a quick recap on Hell's Kitchen.

Gordon Ramsay, if you're listening to this, and I know you are, because you're a huge fan, everyone tells me. What are you fucking thinking getting rid of Declan? In what world are you getting rid of Declan? Are you getting rid of Declan? He's 500 pounds of Irish comedy wrapped in an amazing culinary chef. Are you kidding me that you think that either of those two chicks left is better than Declan?

No fucking way in the world is anyone better than Declan. And also, whoever wins gets to be the main chef at the Gordon Ramsay restaurant in the world. Is anyone better than Declan? And also whoever wins gets to be the main chef at the Gordon Ramsay restaurant in Tahoe. As a chef, you need to go out and meet everybody. Like that's part of the thing. You gotta go walk the floor, go to your VIPs, fucking stroke some dick, be like, yeah, hey, I hope you enjoy the fucking filet, whatever. Declan is the perfect choice for that. The fact that you got rid of him makes me think one of two things. One, you're an idiot,

which I do not think you are, Gordon Ramsay. Or two, you're getting him ready for like his own show or something. He's built for something better. But anyways, Declan, RIP. You are the best. Also, you took Declan's parents who are traveling on vacation in like Bora Bora and

made him come to Vegas to fucking watch him lose messed up Gordon Ramsay GR hurt my feelings but anyways Hell's Kitchen's great show love it GR wow yeah that's what that's what I call Gordon Ramsay I'll say this getting rid of Declan was some idiot sandwich shit. I said it. Sorry. You are not going to care one bit or know what I'm talking about. But oh my gosh, anybody out there huge fan of Younger? Okay, this show was on, it's already had six seasons.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's Hilary Duff's show. It was on TV Land, so random. I freaking loved that show. And I watched all six seasons and I thought it was over. Like, I thought, like, it was the end. I was devastated about it. I loved it so much. Okay, all of a sudden, we've got a season seven.

It's out. It's on Hulu. I love Younger so much. If you guys have never seen Younger, you have to go watch it. Hilary Duff is everything. It's such a good show. And now we have a season seven. I love Younger, you have to go watch it. Hilary Duff is everything. It's such a good show, and now we have a season seven. I love Younger. Hilary Duff can do no wrong.

That's true. Wait, have you seen the show Rebel? No. It's on ABC, and do you remember Erin Brockovich? Oh, yeah. So it's based on her life, and you know who's playing, I guess the Erin Brockovich in this is katie

seagal who is like peggy on married with children and then i mean she's been in everything but listen to this cast dude katie seagal john corbett aka aiden from sex in the city he's also in a show called northern exposure that i loved a lot back in the day, but no one remembers that. My good buddy, Kevin Zegers, who lives next door. He was the main guy from fucking Air Bud. Oh, yeah. But he was also on like Dear John and he's been on a bunch of stuff. Air Bud.

Oh, and then by the way, Andy Garcia is in it. This is a ABC network show that has Katie Segal, John Corbett, and Andy Garcia on. Katie Segal's character Rebel. Like it's all about her like kind of just being a badass and just being like a justice warrior. Really good. Rebel. Check it out. Okay. That sounds good.

Yeah. I finished Made for Love, that HBO series. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I do feel like it, like, peaked earlier in the season, but it was still good. Like, still worth the watch. Definitely finish it. I thought it was super cute.

And I definitely leave it open-ended for a season two. And you know what's kind of nice about it is the episodes are really short. They're only, like, 30 minutes or less. So it's, I don't know, it's kind of nice. It's, like are really short. They're only like 30 minutes or less. So it's, I don't know, it's kind of nice. It's like very fast paced, like nothing too long. You still haven't seen it, have you? No. You gotta watch it.

I was busy watching Why Did You Kill Me? That sounds terrible. What? Why Did You Kill Me sounds amazing. Tell me about it. It's Doc on Netflix. Tell me about it. It's Doc on Netflix.

The line between justice and revenge blurs when a devastated family uses social media to track down the people who killed 24-year-old Crystal. It's this family that lives in Riverside, okay? And for people that don't know, Riverside's kind of like just outside of Los Angeles, and there's a lot of gangs and stuff. It's not the greatest place. You know, there's a lot of crime over there. It's this family that's just driving down the street or whatnot. And this 24 year old girl is beautiful by the way. Some guys in a white Explorer pull up on them and they just shoot the shit out of their car and they kill this poor 24 year old right and you see all the footage of them like driving to the to the gas station and the brothers like holding his sister being like help us help us absolutely so sad they know that the murderer came from this gang the 5150 and so this

is back in the days of myspace so the the daughter who's like 12 at the time, gets on MySpace, makes basically a catfish account of her sister that got killed, and starts friending all the guys from the 5150, and starts digging to figure out who drives the white Ford Explorer to figure out who actually killed her sister. And using her sister's pictures, she solves it. This little girl uses MySpace and fucking solves the murder. And it's absolutely bonkers and fucked up. Okay, that does sound good. Yeah, I know. That sounds really good. I started a new HBO show.

It actually just premiered last night. Have you seen the preview for Mare of Easttown with Kate Winslet? No. Oh, OK. Love Kate Winslet. Like, who doesn't love Kate Winslet? Am I right?

I think it's a limited series. So obviously, like, Kate Winslet, HBO limited series, I'm sold because usually they're great. She plays a small town detective. I think it's set in Pennsylvania. The first episode was like a hair slow. But, you because usually they're great. She plays a small town detective. I think it's set in Pennsylvania. The first episode was like a hair slow, but you know, they're introducing the characters and trying to like introduce you to everybody's storyline. Acting's phenomenal.

And I think it's going to get really, really good. In the first episode, she's investigating like a local murder or like a disappearance, I guess, is what it seems like in the first episode. And, but it's like been a year and there's no signs. But, you know, and so like Kate Winslet's the detective and she's in the first episode. She's like, this is like trying to find a needle in a million zillion haystacks. Like she's not very hopeful. I guess the girl that's missing her mom is still like, you know, doing press and saying like the cops aren't doing shit. Find my daughter, like whatever.

But in the first episode, you also like are learning about Kate Winslet's like personal life because I think that's probably like the majority of the story she's got two kids but she's divorced and her ex-husband's getting married and then there's also like a side story about a really young girl that I mean she can't be more than 16 or 17 and she has a baby and her boyfriend's an asshole I guess her ex-boyfriend because they're not together and then his new girlfriend is an even bigger asshole. And this poor girl, like she loves her kid so much. But I guess she's sharing custody and he's the one that like she has no money. And so she's, you know, and he refuses to help.

Like, I don't know. It's deep. And I think it's going to be really, really good. The only bummer is I'm pretty sure the episodes come out weekly. So it's one of those you have to wait every Sunday to see. Damn you, HBO. is I'm pretty sure the episodes come out weekly. So it's one of those you have to wait every Sunday to see.

Damn you, HBO. By the way, it's mayor of Easttown, like as in a horse. Yeah. M-A-R-E, yeah. Because when I looked it up being like mayor and that. Mayor. Yeah. Cool.

Yeah. That sounds good. But that's her name. Oh, really? So I like that name. Yeah. Of course you do. You're a horse girl.

I know. Mythic Quest is back. What's that? I was all about this kind of in the beginning of the pandemic last year. It's Rob McElhenney, who was in Always Sunny in Philadelphia. He's the main character. He owns a video game company and he's the creator of it. He's like the Steve Jobs of it all. And it's about them working

at this video game company and you know his main coder is this girl named poppy and she's this australian girl and it's kind of their dynamic and all like the funny kind of nerds that go with it you know go into working at a video game company and the last season was so great charlie day also is like a creator and I think EP of it. And he's also in Always Sunny. So like, you know, it's funny, but it's also like not as slapstick or like low brow humor as Always Sunny. It's actually a really sweet show, but very funny.

Anyways, season two's out. The first episode is fucking amazing. There's like, they use so much CGI for some reason. Mythic Quest Raven's Banquet is so good. Check it out. Mythic Quest. Yeah. The owner of a successful video game design company and his troubled staff struggle to keep their hit game Mythic Quest on top.

You should watch it. Okay. I still got to start that other HBO show you were really into. The Nevers or whatever. Oh, well, there's only one episode out right now. I'm so annoyed. I check out every single day being like, is there a new one? There's not.

Every single day, huh? Every single day. I'm like, is today the day? I've been trying something new recently and I really enjoy it. I don't really enjoy my food. I know this is weird, but I feel like a lot of times I'm just like shoving shit down my throat. Like I'm not tasting everything, like taking my time with food, especially when I'm hung

over. Like today I'll just like crush a Jimmy John's sandwich. But I've now tried to like slow down every bite, like really try to like taste it and enjoy it. And I don't know if it's because this past year is maybe like really try to like taste it and enjoy it. And I don't know if it's because this past year is maybe like really appreciate normal life, you know, because so much of it was like stripped away from us. I implore you to try this,

to like the next meal you have, like really take your time, taste it, and like slowly eat it. One, you don't like just shovel food down your gullet and then you're like, I'm still hungry because it takes longer, I guess. and two this is so so nerdy but it makes your experience of eating so much more enjoyable i don't know like yeah i mean that makes sense and it's the dumbest thing to be like my my suggestion to you is taste your food i know that sounds so stupid but i think that we do that we

just like we hurry hurry hurry hurry everything's like just shoveling it down your your you don't ever like sit back and like really enjoy which i feel like this is what europeans i feel like do i feel like they really enjoy their shit oh yeah you know like they take oh yeah take their time with fucking yeah and drink it and i'm getting the shoe horns and tasting your food. Oh, boy. I do remember specifically when Miley and I were in Lake Como. We would go to dinner there. And the dinner would literally last like two and a half hours. Yeah.

Like you would, you know, like you would order and the food didn't come for like an hour. But they'd bring you like an appetizer or something. And then I just remember Miley and I both were like, okay, so the second we get there, we got to order because it takes a long for them to get it. And we're just so not used to that, like sitting there and having a two and a half hour dinner experience, you know?

Yeah. To like make it as short as possible. I know for me, for sure, especially the days where I'm so busy and I have so much going on, like I definitely don't sit around and taste my food. And especially now that Sarah's gone, you're having meals by yourself. It's like, welcome to my freaking world.

And when I'm here by myself, like what's the point of like sitting there by myself for a full 45 to like enjoy a couple of tacos, you know what I mean? Yeah. So I do. I just like shovel it and move on with my life. I know. I'm just trying to be more European, dude. Yeah. I mean, I think we should all try to be more European in like many ways. I think they do a lot of things right. I think I heard recently that Italy or something is going to try out the four-day work week. Whoa. We're living in 2021. Italy's living in 3021. what sounds amazing i know i finished that book i think it was last

week that i talked about it bring me back by ba paris um i finished most of it on the airplane um to and from denver and then i only had like a few chapters left when I got home and I just cruised right through it. So good. I know I love B.A. Paris's stuff. Like I think I mentioned a few other books she's written last time that are so good. But this one is like does not disappoint. Like the story is great. It had me, you know, on the edge of my seat till the very end.

I loved it. So if you guys like those like crime thriller-y type story, I love that this one's told from like different perspectives, you know, kind of like what I'd said last time, like Gone Girl-ish, where you get like the guy

and the girl's perspective of it. It's so good. So definitely check it out. Remember the band The Offspring? How could I forget? Do you remember the song The Kids Are Alright? Yeah.

Play a little bit of it when we were young the future was so bright the old neighborhood was so alive and every kid on the whole damn street was gonna make it big and not be beat now the neighborhood's cracked and torn the kids are caught up but the lives are worn how can one little street swallow so many lives

chances run nothing's free longing for Okay. First of all, I love The Offspring. I grew up on that shit. Once again, aging myself, but that's a great song. So I flipped it through TikTok. Oh boy, here we go. And I came across this guy covering it.

And I came across this guy covering it. And I guess I had never like listened to the lyrics of it. How sad that song really is. So you're like, yeah, that's an upbeat song. And then when I heard this cover, I was like, holy shit. That song's fucking so sad. And you know how I feel about a sad song uh-huh you want to hear it yeah i want to hear it yeah when we were young the future was so bright the old neighborhood was so alive

and every kid on the whole damn street Was gonna make it big enough, baby And now the neighborhood is cracked and torn The kids are grown up but their lives are worn How can one little street Swallow so many lives? Chance is thrown Nothing's free I'm longing for how i used to be

this is so sad right i was like watching tiktok crying being like i didn't know the lyrics anyways that that guy's name is memphis gerald you know i went and like looked at try to find his spotify and like looked at you know social media and he's not that well known and that motherfucker needs to be well known because he is so good memphis gerald if you're listening go on tour i'll come see you but isn't that also cover more offering songs i didn't know that they hit like that i know isn't it crazy that something can hit so different just by the way it's produced and done like that's crazy a completely different song now yeah i know do you have anything else i don't think so speaking of badass musicians should we uh

should we call up russell dickerson yes love r much. Rusty Dick coming up on the pod. Let's call him right now. Okay. Sounds good. What's up, fam? Rusty Dick back in the pod. How are you, bud? Bro, feeling fancy.

How y'all feeling? Wells is feeling rough. Because he's hungover. Hung over. I had a pool party yesterday. You started early. I know. But like, so I'm like fully vaxxed.

I'm relaxed. And so I was like, you know what? We're opening up the floodgates. People are coming over. And I drank all the White Claws. But like, it hits me hard the next day, bro. And now I just feel like hot garbage. So I'm going to let you guys just take over this podcast. I'm going to sit back up here.

I just saw Russ, was it last week? This past week? Mm-hmm. Yeah. I saw Russ in person, in the flesh, out at a function. Felt nice to be around other people at a function. It did feel nice. It was my first function back.

What was this function? Really? What happened? It was BK from Florida Georgia Line, his little EP release party. Played some videos he shot for his music. I missed all of that, but I just came for the for his music i missed all that but i just came for the hang uh well speaking of new music russ are you putting out some new music we might be doing a little deluxe album so i just put out an album december 4th i think so late last year four months ago working on a deluxe album

that's probably gonna drop quarter three Let's call it quarter three. But yeah, so just been kind of getting all that dialed in, but mainly just raising a seven-month-old giant fat chunky baby. It's the best thing ever. You know, Russ has the cutest kid on the face of the earth, Wells. Like matching Carhartt beanies. Like this kid wins best dress. Yeah, for sure. Oh my God, he is a chunk you know what i mean like it just i know everybody thinks their own kid is cute but like you know

yours is cute yours is cute first of all everyone's had children because everybody was at home last year and just i guess had a bunch of sex must have been nice for those with their significant other uh and so everyone's popping out kids and like let me give you just an unbiased opinion here. There are some really ugly kids out there and yours is not one of them. Yours is the cutest. Good. Cause that's what we thought, but it's just like, you never know. Like we're obviously extremely biased and just want to make sure we're not delusional. It's such a risk. Like there's such a high risk you can have an ugly kid it freaks me here's my question about child bearing i i feel like right out the oven they're real ugly like there's probs like the head's not the right shape early male pattern baldness needs to be happening

how long between out the gate and being actually cute are we talking like a week are we talking like a month what's the deal here oh that's it see that's a big that's a broad spectrum right there because it could be a week it could be six weeks what was it for your kid though for rim dog i i and you're not gonna you might not believe me but he popped out the oven cute he was chunky he was 10 pounds four ounces so he already had meat on his bones that's why they look so weird as they look like shriveled grandpas yeah he came out with some meat on his bones 10 pounds four ounces wow and yeah came out chunky and i i think he was adorable. Spoken like a biased father. Yeah. I think you're our only repeat offender here on YFT, so congratulations. It's a big deal.

Oh, my honor. What an honor here. Well, I was thinking, I feel like, was Noah on twice? Or Tish? Or somebody in my family, maybe. Brandy, Brandy, Brandy. We're buttering him up, dude.

I don't know what the facts are, but let him believe this. Russ is basically family at this point honestly it was about a year ago we had you on so you've been on you're familiar with the show uh you know what's going on do you have some new fave things other than your chunky son new fave things we're on a uh chronological marvel bender right now yeah we're like we're in disney plus it lines you up like uh captain america 1972 and then the next one and then like iron man and then you know what i'm saying so we're we're on a marvel like chronological bender right now so it's amazing it's amazing you said sarah and i did that. Give me that, baby. Oh, my girl.

I know. Oh, look at him. Look at that little chunker. What's up, Wells and Brandy? He's so cute. He looks like he is storing chestnuts for the winter right now. Yeah. He is, dude.

He stored them in his mouth and his thighs. He is insane. He's the best. What a cutie. Sorry, dad moment. Gotta do it. I'm going to use that.

That's one of my fave things. House projects. What else do you do when you don't have anything to do? You just F up the house in the best way. Garage floors. I love a house project. How handy are you, dude? Handsy? I'm very handsy.

No, handy. As far as projects go, I'm moderately. You know, I can hang a little drywall i can you can oh i yeah you know i can i could spackle a little mud on there i can a little you know what i'm saying not a whole lot okay got it so not my god not much don't call me for anything that's what task rabbit's for task rabbit that's good it's basically like an app for a handyman you know um my mom swears that out in california they've got hotties on task rabbit okay okay well i'm definitely calling i feel like tish just thinks that every day is the potential start

of a porn movie. For sure. A thousand percent. She's like, oh my god, Brandy, you should have seen the handyman that came over. Just some dude. If your dad knew, he'd be so mad. Literally nothing

special. He's just like a little tan. You know what I mean mean he was so hot so you had it you like opened up your home to how however many people vaccinated how did it feel i will say this because sarah is immunocompromised so like i would never do this if she was here because we're worried about her health. But she's off filming something in a different place in the world. So, your boy, who is fully vaxxed and relaxed and I feel like is very healthy, was like, you know what? Floodgates open. But also everyone that came over was vaccinated.

So, to be fair, it was very safe, but it felt good. It felt really good. We got waist faced. A lot of white claws were crushed. I played beer pong, played cornhole, played golf simulator. Here's my only complaint.

If I invite you over for a pool party, get in the fucking pool. I was the only asshole on the floaty in the pool the only guy who i people came over that didn't even bring a bathing suit it was a pool party it was 93 degrees in los angeles we were grilling out like i'm the asshole that's like got his shirt off floating in the pool you know not an asshole like life of the party and honestly though it's your house do what you want to do very fair yeah i would have been with you bro you're just trying to prep that

tan for paradise is what you're doing dude oh russell you probably relate to this my golf foot tan is it's not even aggressive it's painful actually like people see it and they're like i thought you were wearing socks that's just it's irreversible that's just your body oh my god is this how you get the farmer's tan too those dorky polo shirts you guys wear when you play golf yeah i mean that hat's pretty cool i was thinking that too a little. We're starting a hat line and then we're also dropping like a basic, basic T line that is like fully customizable. It's called Threadco. For me, I like mine a little tighter, but I can't get the small sizes,

so I need extra length so you can like fully customize your T life i'm into that thread code will be dropping later this year can i buy that hat right now somewhere they haven't they haven't like dropped yeah bro but like yeah writing a shark ton of songs for record three that i'm freaking out about so stoked going on tour in september what oh so tours are back baby they're back in september okay so you released an a whole album in december yeah we talk about all the time how like there's no new music ever because people just aren't releasing music just with quarantine and lockdown and all that so what was it like to put out an album when you couldn't tour it you couldn't really you know do any press tour you couldn't do any anything like that like

what was different about putting out an album then were you like was it were you nervous to do that like did you feel differently putting out an album in December than you would normally yeah honestly because you're right you can't tour you can't like go to the billboard office and do like your full photo shoot and your full like interview and full press days that you know all the outlets and everything so it was all digital and it's just like everybody's so over it like everybody's so over the zoom thing and the whatever so that was my whole album release which was easier on my body yeah you know not traveling to la new york everywhere in the middle of tour but you know it was i wasn't scared i wasn't worried and i was just like i just have to put new music out. And so we did. And

that's what we're going to keep doing. Well, in a way, because less people are putting out music, I think everybody is so desperate for new music that it like for the people that were ballsy enough to put it out. I actually feel like it kind of probably had like the reverse effect where like sales were probably great and downloads are probably great because people were so desperate for something new you know yeah absolutely even in quarantine in 2020 I literally had the biggest song of my career like we set the longest top 10 on country radio like we tied with Lone Star back from like 99 you know what I mean for longest top 10 so yeah we had a big freaking year and that's the thing. It's like we're just every day I talk to my manager in quarantine, I was like, he was just like, we're going to keep going.

Everybody else is like not even going into the office or anything. And like we're going full speed ahead. So that's awesome. That's badass. Congratulations, man. Play a little home sweet. Your love is like a port swing on Sunday just as gentle as a summer sunrise

they say it's where the heart is well mine's where you be long as I got your hand I'm fine could be a white brick and picket fix it or some busted AC hotel room. It's all picture perfect if you're in it.

No, it don't get much better than home sweet. You and me, ain't got much, but we got all we need. Wherever the wind blows, Wherever this life goes. Love it. Boom. There it is. Home sweet. So is that the song that broke the records?

It was Love You Like It Used To, my single before this. Yeah. But this one, I mean, this one's on its way too. But this is like an up-tempo song, but it also has a lot of deep emotion for me. We talk about getting back from our honeymoon and being absolutely completely broke. Like I got dropped from my songwriting deal. My income stopped. We made like 12 grand our first year of marriage.

And so like verse one is kind of about that. And then two about being on the road all the time. And home is wherever our van parked that night. You know what I'm saying? And then the last verse is talking about the two pink lines and having a baby, you know, all that stuff. So the full life.

Yeah, it is. And the fourth verse is about being rich and living in Belmede, having three maids on Belmede Boulevard. Yes. Hey, listen hey listen man we don't want to take up too much of your time but we love you so much thank you for you guys thank you for coming back on the show going forward what are we looking forward to i mean you're going on tour we don't know with who yet but i'm sure it's going to be another big name. Deluxe record coming out. Q3 is what I'm told.

Are we talking like gatefold, double disc? Yeah, pretty much. It's basically like all the songs that I wish I could have recorded on this album. I'm just going to do it and throw them on there. Yeah. Love that. Just go for it. Might as well.

A couple features on some Southern Symphony songs. The biggest thing, though, for me is, yes, we are touring this year, but this is the first year that we get our own bus with just the three of us. That's exciting. What am I excited about? That. That's what I'm stoked on. We have our own bus. We have our own space. We have our own bus we have our own space we have our own freaking

washer dryer on this thing like we went hard on pain last question pertaining to the bus what is your shitting protocol on it since you're the lead guy are you allowed to shit but no one else on the bus allowed to shit if you have mechanicals aka a grinder it's just disgusting to say if you have that on your bus then i've to me it's free reign because like i'd go out with like my buddies and just hang on the road for the weekend that had grinders on their bus and i wouldn't even ask i would just use it like i don't care i gotta go just do it you know my dad grinder or no grinder my dad no he will not let anyone take a shit on the bus he won't take a shit on the bus it is just not okay because he my mom are like the

whole bus will stink if you take a shit in there and it's just like not allowed. I mean, they've done it longer than I have, so I may have to adopt that protocol. Okay, so far my favorite thing that I've learned today is that there's something called a grinder that basically grinds up your shit. I don't know why.

This portion brought to you by Poopery. What is Miley's shitting protocol on her bus? Or is she like just private plane now? Okay. What's her private plane protocol? It's been so long since we've been, yeah, since we've been able to tour in a bus.

Private plane protocol is anything goes. Yeah. Yeah. Which, Poopery though, speaking of Poopery, that That's like a different system. Speaking of poopery, that stuff is clutch on the PJ. Because that's the pretty, I mean, it's a private plane, but it's a pretty small space.

So, like, you take a shit, everyone on the plane is smelling it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But I feel like they've got, like, jet vacuum just like, you know, like on Southwest or Delta or whatever. It's like, when you flush it, it's like, you almost get flushed down the delta whatever it's like when you flush it it's like you almost get flushed down the toilet it's like but like on a bus it's just gravity dude remember dave matthews band they got in trouble because they released the fucking septic tank over a bridge no yeah their bus so don't do that that's common i will say it's definitely illegal but i've never

done it yeah but sometimes you know your bus just fills up with shit yeah you have to make room for more buses are just like humans and sometimes they got a shit, too. All over a bridge somewhere. Off a bridge. Exhausting. Oh, man. Never drive behind a tour bus again. Never.

Do you remember the movie's final destination, and you're driving behind a truck that's got, like, logs or whatever? That would be the worst way to go out, is that, like is that like a bus all over your car and fucking no grinder and just killed you and then you run off the same bridge that they just dumped all right that seems like a good place to end, thank you so much for being on the show. This really tickled me, man. That was great. Thanks for having me, guys. Always.

Anytime. I'm honored. Good to see you, bud. Keep us abreast of everything that's going on. And when those hats are a veil, let me know. For sure. I will. All right.
