Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - 90’s theme songs, Blue Zones, and deep dark (harry) holes
Episode Date: July 15, 2020Brandi is stir crazy and overheated but on the plus side, she’s discovered a new appreciation for Zac Efron. Wells, on the other hand, is full of favorite things this week, including an up-and-comin...g Broadway play and some throwback theme songs. The co-hosts are trying to determine the best way to live off the land when the world gets even darker, which may involve Brandi re-homing Miley’s horse so that Wells can ride off into the sunset with Sarah (who will appropriately be on a pony). Thanks to Zac, Brandi has discovered “Blue Zones” where she could possibly live to age 105, but do we even want to at this point? On a lighter note, Brand-eye introduces Wells to a new series in which the main character is named Harry Hole (suh-good). Until next week, YFTers!

Hey.
What's up?
Are you going stir-crazy or is it just me?
I mean, yeah.
I am going stir crazy.
We're getting a Peloton today. Not an ad.
But it's happening. Oh, brother.
Getting on the Peloton. You know what?
I'm going to get shredded, bro.
For what? I don't know.
I just don't know anymore.
Me either. But it's something to look forward to.
You look forward to the Peloton or the bod?
Both.
Ha.
Very interesting.
I went to the grocery store yesterday and I'm going like all, I'm not a vegetarian,
I'm not a vegan, but I'm going, I'm going to do like, I'm going to try to do like an
entire week of just no meat week.
Okay.
I know we have to start the show, but this is a
perfect segue into a show I watched this week that talks about diet. And there's like these blue zones
of people who live like to like 105 and they eat low protein diets. I know, but do you really want
to live that long? I don't, but it's just, it was explaining how like, you know, Americans are still like
protein, protein muscle, like, you know, no carbs, like whatever.
But like the people that actually live the longest do the complete opposite.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm sure.
I mean, before we show the show, like anything else going on, you feeling good?
So you're going stir crazy.
You're losing it.
I'm going freaking stir crazy.
And I just, I miss Rye Rye.
And I'm bored as hell.
It's hot as hell.
It's about 100 degrees outside.
And it's finally gotten to the point of summer where it's just miserable to step outside.
So now I'm stuck inside just to be in the AC and I'm losing it.
Well, at least you got horses to ride, Jett.
It's too hot.
It's too hot.
Is there like a threshold where you're like too hot for the horses?
I mean, for sure.
But it's also just way too hot for me.
Like my window is before 8 a.m. or after 6 p.m.
Who's in the background?
My friend Matt just brought me a coffee.
I'm instantly in a better mood.
Why don't you pack up a camping set and like go off into the wilderness?
Because it's too hot.
And like live off the land, bro.
I think I got to go to Alaska for that.
I would do that. You you know one of my dreams
is i want to shoot a 30 30 gun off the back of a horse like in the wild west that's your dream
i know i imagine the horse would be like damn dude that's loud yeah but you'd have to get a
real good horse that's like used to guns because otherwise it would take off and you we would never
see you again yeah i'm telling you when the world, you've got it made in the shade, kid, because you
can just jump on a horse, get a good saddle pack that able to fit a tent and a sleeping
pad and some food.
And then you just go off into the wilderness.
We'll never see Brandy again, but she'll be thriving into the blue zone at 105.
It's true.
But only I think I think I could only survive if I had Rye Rye.
Yeah, for sure.
I don't think I could do it on my own, you know?
If it gets like that and Rye gets over here, I want to be a part of it.
How many horses you got?
You got one for me?
Yeah, we've got, I've got one you could ride.
We've got like three standard size horses.
So that one for you.
And then you got like a pony size one for Sarah?
I do have a pony size one for Sarah.
Let's go.
Let's go, baby.
Let's go.
Sorry, Miley.
You don't get your horse.
I'm giving her to Wells.
Miley's living on an island off the coast of Bermuda or something.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, you want to start?
Yeah, we should start the show.
Is it you?
Is it me?
I don't even know.
It's you.
Bros and hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with wells and brandy
you scared me it was scary good good i have a lot of stuff do you i do wow so much so much
stuff that i wonder if i should wait till next week maybe um okay so you were talking about a documentary that makes people never die so i
want to hear about it that's not exactly the documentary but you're gonna laugh but it's
really good okay there's a new netflix series called down to earth and it's hosted by zach
efron have you seen this we watched the trailer yesterday and i was like his beard is a little
too aggressive i'm not sure if i'm ready for this i was thinking he looked really good but i like
the scruff he i think he's looking good yeah but anyway so he has this new series and first of all
i'm jealous as hell this is like my dream is to have a little travel show i know this is it's
anthony bourdain but with like a uh an environmental twist yes I feel like really the premise of his
this series is talking about environmental stuff and also like sustainability which is really cool
some of it's good to be so intelligent to understand what the heck he's talking about
that I feel like your your Anthony Bourdain viewers would probably it would get a little
bored watching it I don't know but it's it's very informational and very i'm i love it i think this is great i don't know how he made this happen
but this is my dream show so zach if you need a co-host for season two holla at your girl because
i would totally be down um i watched uh so i skipped around i watched iceland because
duh love iceland and i've been there so So that episode was super cool. But the one I was talking about where they talk about longevity of life is the episode about Sardinia.
Because apparently Sardinia is like they have these blue zones all over the world where it's like a fluke where people just happen to live way longer than the average person on Earth.
You know about these?
No, but do they not eat sardines in Sardinia?
I don't think so.
I think it sounds like they eat a lot of carbs.
Really?
What?
Yeah.
A lot of bread.
A lot of carbs.
Sounds like shaming a lot.
And so they were saying they went to these people's homes, like this precious woman who was like in her hundreds.
And they had her take this like cognitive test, like test like how there she was.
And she was there, man.
Like she had to put numbers around a clock.
And I was like, I don't even know if I can put numbers on a blank clock in the right place. Like
it sounds hard. And they were asking, they were talking a lot about diet and, and, and Zach was
like, you know, every diet I've ever been on at home in America is like high protein, zero carbs,
um, lots of meat, like very big red meat heavy. And these people do the complete opposite.
They eat pasta and bread, very low protein. Like I think they were saying like 15, 14 or 15 grams
of protein like in an entire day is like what you like the max you should eat. And like most people
eat that in a meal. You know what I mean? Over here, like in the States. So I don't know. It's
just fascinating. And Zach was like, dang, like i'm just gonna start eating carbs he was like and i was
like i didn't eat one carb the whole time i was filming baywatch you know just because that's like
that's what we're told over here so it's just fascinating i don't know it's just interesting
to see like what other people are doing right and then the iceland episode was really fascinating
just to see granted i get get Iceland's a smaller country
and they have different resources as us, but it was cool to see a country that's literally so
sustainable with their energy usage that like they don't waste anything. They use absolutely
everything and they're they're becoming completely sustainable on their own. And I just feel like
when the world ends, I'm trying to go to Iceland really not Sardinia I
don't think so because I think Iceland is set up to like run itself off of their own resources
welcome to Sardinia my name is Samantha and I'm 7,000 years old and I can't die someone please
kill me they were freaking cooking eggs in the hot springs over there in Iceland. I know. They have so many like
natural power plants with all
the hot springs and stuff.
But you know what? So do we in
Yellowstone. Let's leave Yellowstone alone.
I'm just saying, if
the world starts coming to an end and we start using
up all of the freaking like fossil fuels
and whatnot, we're going to Yellowstone.
Yeah, I don't know. Anyway, fascinating.
I'm obsessed with
it love it zach all right i just i've always been zach i really have he's such a nice guy and
i now have a newfound appreciation for zach efron i was reading about this is so nerdy but plasma
engines for space travel and how they're trying to figure out how to use nuclear power to provide thrust in the vacuum of space to get us to other planetary systems.
And I thought that was really cool.
So I don't really know more than that other than dope.
You are such a nerd.
You really have reached the end of Netflix if that's the stuff you're watching.
Did you watch the Fantastic Fungi?
No, I haven't watched it yet.
I got hooked on Down to Earth with Zac Efron.
All right, all right, all right.
I've been binging it.
Fair enough, fair enough.
This is a hot take for all you out there,
but there's a little musical called Hamilton, which is phenomenal.
I know not a lot of people have heard about it, but Hamilton.
Check it out.
Wow. We're like, how many years behind on this? I know. Well, I never got to see it on Broadway,
which bumps me out, but they did such a good job. Disney Plus did such a good job of filming it and making you feel like you're there. It's so good. Our engagement anniversary was a couple of days back, right?
We can't go anywhere.
So what did we do?
We were like, let's go to the theater.
So we got dressed up.
I put on a suit.
Sarah put on a gown.
I made salmon with broccolini and wilted spinach.
We shared a couple of bottles of wine.
And then we went to the theater, which was us going to watch Hamilton on the couch.
And it's so freaking good.
Obviously, Lin-Manuel is great.
All the raps are phenomenal.
But Aaron Burr's character is so good.
So freaking good.
Like, I know that this is going to come across.
Sarah's making fun of me for this.
She was like, she was like, who was your favorite? And I was like,
the King of England is my favorite character.
And she was like, you chose the one
white dude in the entire
show. I was like,
what? He was funny.
The King of England is so funny in Hamilton.
I'm sorry. I love the whole thing.
Lafayette is so good.
Aaron Burr is so good.
His wife's got an amazing voice.
But I'm sorry, the King of England.
Every time he came on stage, I couldn't stop laughing.
So Hamilton is great.
I've actually never seen it either. Do I need to get Disney Plus?
Yeah. What else is on Disney
Plus that it's worth getting Disney Plus for?
Disney Plus is phenomenal.
Like, tell me, give me a few
things. Okay, every Marvel movie
ever. Okay, yeah.
Every Star Wars thing ever.
Okay. Every
Pixar thing ever. So nothing
new, really.
The new thing was The Mandalorian, which was that Star Wars thing, which was great, by the way.
Baby Yoda.
We started doing like, let's just rip through all of Marvel.
It was great.
But Hamilton is, it's so good. Your sister was on a Disney show for quite a while.
You should have some sort of in with a Disney plus account.
That's what I was going to say is like,
shouldn't the Cyrus family get a lifetime hookup for anything Disney?
Well,
that's what we said.
You know,
ABC is modern family and bachelor in paradise.
And Disney owns ABC.
What's going on guys.
I know.
So yeah,
Hamilton is really,
really good.
Have you seen Palm Springs?
No, what is that?
Oh my God.
Okay, so it's Andy Samberg's newest project.
Love Andy Samberg.
It's on Hulu and it is so good.
Do you remember the movie Groundhog Day?
Yes.
Bill Murray.
So it's similar to that.
Here's the tag.
When carefree Niles and reluctant maid of honor Sarah have a chance encounter at a Palm Springs wedding,
things get complicated as they are unable to escape the venue themselves or each other.
Palm Springs.
So it's a lot like Groundhog Day where they get caught in a loop.
They keep repeating the same day over and over and over again.
It is so funny because Andy Samberg is so great.
The girl in it, Kristen Militone, anyways, it's funny.
She was on Mythic Quest, which I was obsessed with.
J.K. Simmons is in it.
Peter Gallagher is in it.
Camila Mendes from Riverdale is in it.
It's so freaking funny.
This is what I want to ask you because you haven't watched it yet.
But when you do watch it, I want you to tell me what and also for all the YFTers out there,
I want you to tell me what you think it is. Because right now it's under
a rom-com. Okay. Which it is. But it also has to do with being stuck in a time loop and it's a lot
of science fiction. So what is it? Is it a comedy? Is it a romance? Or is it a science fiction film?
I want you to watch it and then come back to me. Because my, because Sarah and I got into an
argument, not really, but kind of, we got into an argument about what it is
and she thinks it's a rom-com Psy
and I think it is a comp Psy rom.
Oh, brother.
Or a Psy com rom.
Huh.
It is so good and so funny
and it's on Hulu.
It's a series or a movie?
No, it's a movie.
Oh, it's a movie, okay.
It's fantastic.
Highly recommend.
Well, I have something that I just couldn't get into and really wanted to.
Okay.
I'm curious if you've seen it.
Have you watched any of Perry Mason on HBO?
No, but it's in the queue.
So no good, huh?
Maybe.
I don't know.
Sometimes I am so tired that I just can't pay attention no matter what it is.
But I just really couldn't pay attention to this.
And I'm bummed because it sounded great.
And it's HBO.
What's it about?
I'll read the little synopsis.
It says the world's most renowned fictional lawyer is back on the case in this exciting HBO series that tells the origin story of master criminal defense attorney Perry Mason set in 1932 Los Angeles.
This edgy, noir-ish? What's that mean? Oh, noir. Noir edgy. Noirish?
What's that mean?
Oh, noir.
Noirish.
Noirish.
What's that mean, dark?
Noir is like, a film noir is like a lot of those detective movies.
Sin City was a good version of a film noir.
Okay, I'm going to Google it when I'm done reading.
It's like black and white, and there's always a detective who who's like she came into my office late in the evening smoking a cigarette
noirish update puts a new spin on the iconic character with mason as a low-rent private
investigator who digs into a controversial and politically loaded case so it sounds great well
perry mason was a real person yeah it's semi-autobiographical, I assume?
I don't know.
So how many episodes did you watch?
Because you have this problem where you watch-
Just one.
Yeah, see, that's the thing.
You always watch just one episode.
But I couldn't even pay attention to episode one.
Well, I don't know what to tell you.
Okay, so noirish, characteristic of or relating to a genre of crime literature in which the
characters are tough or cynical and the settings are bleak and sleazy.
Very interesting.
I feel like I described that perfectly.
You did, actually.
I'm impressed.
Keep going with it because I feel like...
I think I got to rewatch episode one.
Well, then do what you got to do, kid.
We watched another like end of the world film because...
Well, I love an end of the world film.
Well, I got one for you.
It's called Only.
So remember earlier when i was talking about
hamilton yep can't forget and then i was like my favorite character was well aaron burr and the king
aaron burr is played by a guy named leslie odom jr who is a phenomenal actor and an amazing singer and just the best. He stars in this film only alongside Frida Pinto, who's that really pretty Indian girl.
You remember her from Slumdog Millionaire?
Yep.
So it's them two basically living in a crazy pandemic.
After a comet releases a mysterious virus that begins to kill all the women in the world, a young couple hides out in their over-sterilized apartment trying to fight for their lives.
So it's basically what we're living through.
Yes.
It's categories drama, romance, sci-fi.
So it's a draw-ro-sci.
Hmm.
Love those.
Draw-ro-sci.
It's really good. It sad it's tough and oh you
know who else is also in it chandler riggs you know who that is no carl you know what i'm talking
about your dog no no i don't know little show little show called Walking Dead. Oh, you know what?
I never watched that show.
Really?
Yeah.
Do I need to start it?
No.
For the sake of the show, no.
I did like four or five seasons and I was like, okay, that's enough.
It doesn't seem like it's getting better.
But you know who loves Walking Dead?
Sarah.
She does.
Yeah.
You're like, please don't start another old show.
Please don't do that.
You got anything else?
I have another one that I didn't love.
Okay.
So this is Lee's favorite things with Brandy.
And like part of me is like, am I just that cynical right now about life in general that
I can't like anything?
Yeah.
I think you're just angry.
Do you think that's what's going on here? I do. I kind of do. Because if Rye was watching these. Yeah, I think you're just angry. Do you think that's what's going on here?
I do.
I kind of do.
Because if Rye was watching these with you, I think you'd like them.
You do?
Yeah, why don't you guys like set up a thing where you watch shit together?
Because his internet situation is so bad, he can't really watch anything that's streaming.
But speaking of Rye, I think we're're gonna have a little problem when he gets here on agreeing what to watch because i don't think we like the same things
well that's not good start a relationship out he's gonna have to go watch television in the
rec room while i watch television in our bedroom because i don't really like tv shows he likes
did you get him on alone yet no he says he can't watch it because he can't stream it.
Oh.
He loves like fantasy stuff,
which I'm not really a huge fan of.
Yeah.
What's the show
that was trying to be Game of Thrones
that wasn't on Netflix?
Do you know what I'm talking about?
With the guy in it
that talked like this.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
No, that was trying to be Game of Thrones.
The Witcher.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you like that show?
I watched a couple episodes.
Didn't hate it.
I couldn't get into it.
Reinhardt loves it.
All right, well, you know what?
Loves it.
Give him a ding for it.
And he watches like anime, like actual anime.
Oh, so you're going to marry a nerd.
Yeah.
So he's going to watch television in the other room
yeah he is i can't picture him wanting to watch gray's anatomy you know what i'm saying yeah by
the way we started watching i'll be gone in the dark and oh god it's so good it is good but i
started it too but it's just like a little scary oh i know it's also what i like about it's also
like a little bit of a love letter to
patton oswald's now deceased wife i really like that like it's sweet but then also looked up i
got a book for you yeah you've been you've been listening to the book yeah i'm actually i've got
i've got another one for you next week but i finished one dang it's called the whisper man
have you heard about it it's a total brandy. Would like it. Really? Yeah.
I'm going to order it right now. It's murder mystery.
Pretty fucked up.
What does this say about me as a person?
Well, I mean, you know what? People love it. I know. In this dark,
suspenseful thriller, Alex
North weaves a multi-generational
tale of a father
and a son caught in the crosshairs
of an investigation to catch a serial killer
preying on a small town.
After the sudden death of his wife,
Tom Kennedy believes a fresh start
will help him and his young son Jake
heal a new beginning, a new house,
a new town, Featherbank.
But the town has a dark past.
20 years ago, a serial killer abducted
and murdered five residents
until Frank Carter was finally caught.
He was nicknamed the Whisper Man,
for he would lure his victims out by whispering at their windows at night.
Just as Tom and Jake settle into their new home, a young boy vanishes.
His disappearance bears unnerving resemblance to Frank Carter's crimes,
reigniting old rumors that he prayed with an accomplice.
Now detectives Amanda Beck and Pete Willis
must find the boy before it's too late,
even if that means Pete has to revisit
his greatest foe in prison, the Whisper Man.
The tagline, not tagline, whatever,
this thing listed on Amazon,
there's a quote by somebody that says,
the most unsettling thriller I have read since Joe
Nesbo's The Snowman, which was
one of my favorite books of all time.
Ooh, and I read that one. The Snowman? Yeah.
So good. Ooh, I gotta write that down.
So, so
good. Joe Nesbo, he's
like one of the top crime thriller
writers. He's from like Norway
I want to say. It's like all his books are set
up in the
what do you call it scandinavian area or something like that um and the snowman i think is probably
his most popular book but it's about a detective named harry hole and he has like his name's harry
hole yeah harry hole you love it yeah And he had like 30 books about that detective.
But I think this is like the best one or the only like great one in my opinion.
I love a Harry Hole.
And they made it a movie, but I never watched it because it looked stupid.
Yeah.
Well, anyways, The Whisperer Man.
So if you've seen the movie and you hated it, I would still give the book a shot.
Got it.
The reason why I picked it up was because Strahan, Sarah, and Kiki, SSK on Good Morning America, I became friends with all of them.
But I saw that Sarah was promoting this new book called The Shadows.
And I was like, ooh, that looks good.
But they wasn't ready for audiobooks.
So then I was like, well, what's the last one that Alex North did?
And so I'm waiting now for The Shadows to come out on audiobook.
The Whisper Man, very good. Okay. I love the cover for the shadows to come out on audio book. The Whisper Man.
Very good.
Okay.
I love the cover of the book.
I know.
It's very cool.
And also,
but now look,
the shadows cover.
It looks good too.
Yeah.
That cover is sick too.
If you liked the Whisper Man,
you'll love this.
Brandi,
we got to talk about my fave toothbrush.
Quip itch?
Quip itch.
It's time to clean those pearly whites. I do love my quip toothbrush,
man. Let's talk about brushing some teeth. 75% of us use old worn out bristles that are ineffective and even more people forget to floss daily. Basically, we're all disgusting monsters.
It's true. But I will say now that we're
quarantined, can't leave the house and have all this free time. I have upped my oral care game.
My teeth are looking great. And honestly, a lot of it's thanks to my Quip toothbrush.
I love Quip because I love the design of it. I love the fact that it sticks on my mirror. I love
that they deliver me new bristles when I need them. You know, I think one of the biggest things
about brushing your teeth is people forget
it's just a brush for a full two minutes.
What's great is the Quip toothbrush
has a built-in timer with 30-second pulses.
So it literally tells you when to move
from one side of your mouth to the other
and make sure you get that full two minutes in.
Also, you know, no one wants to go to the store right now.
So not only do they automatically deliver the Quip brush heads to your door,
they also have toothpaste and floss refills that can come automatically on your schedule.
The recommended schedule is every three months, and it's just $5 each.
And shipping is free.
Yeah, join over 3 million happy customers and practice good oral care easily and affordably with Quip starting at just $25.
So here's what you got to do.
If you go to getquip.com slash YFT right now, you'll get your first refill for free.
That's your first refill free at getquip.com slash YFT.
That's spelled getquip.com slash YFT.
Quip, the good habits company.

And then everyone else out there playing at home, let's see if you are cooler than Brandi.
Probably because I suck at stuff like this.

I don't know.
It sounds like the 80s, though, to me. Well, I wanted to start with an easy one, and I'm shocked right now.
When you say it, I'm probably going to be like, oh, yeah.

I don't know it.
Mad about you.
Paul Reiser. No, it's not.
Ellen Hunt.
Okay.

Also, can we talk about how racist Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was?
What year did that come out?
1996.
Do we know?
96, yeah.
Let's just talk about the racism that is the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
All right.
First of all, the black guy is the black ranger.
The Asian Power Ranger is the yellow ranger.
Okay.
And then sexist, the hot girl is the pink Power Ranger. Mm-hmm. Okay. And then sexist,
the hot girl

She was lurking in a bookshop
with her pink queens
till her boyfriend
kicked her out
Can you not sing?
Sorry.
What was she to do? Where was she to go? She was out on a bittershop in Washington, Queens. Can you not sing? Sorry. What was she to do?
Where was she to go?
She was out on her fanny.
So over the bridge from Flushing to the Sheffield's door.
She was there to sell makeup, but the father saw more.
She got sauce.
She got good.
She was there.
That's how she became the nanny.
Who would have guessed that the girl we've described.
No.
The nanny?
Yeah.
Fran Drescher.

I know you watch this show.
By the way, the cast of this show is so good.

Just sit around.
Woke up this morning.
Got a blue moon in your eyes.
Really?
You don't know this one?
No.
Dude.
It's arguably one of the biggest shows that's been ever created.
A little show called The Sopranos.
Never saw it.
Oh my god.
Oh my gosh. So I think you got two.
No, I got more than two.
I'll give you an easy one.
Okay. The same old thing you did last week.
Not a thing to do.
But now to you.
All right.
Hello, Wisconsin.
Please tell me you know what that one was.
No.
Holy fucking bullsack.
What is it?
That 70s show.
Oh, duh.
Wow.
Brandy.
To be honest, I was half listening.
This game has gone on way too long.
Right.
Well, Brandy, we have to make this show at least 45 minutes.
I'm trying my best here, sister.
All right. So what
did we learn today? I guarantee you
we have a lot of younger listeners out
there that probably don't know a lot of those, but
I think we have a lot of 30-somethings
out there that are like, Brandy
was just neglected as a child
and was never on to watch TV.
Would you call it neglected? I don't know what I would call it.
I got to play outside. so did i i did all right brand i i gotta talk to you about mint
mobile and their new approach to wireless which is uh the way of the future i absolutely love Mint Mobile. The activation process, the network coverage, the cost saving, everything is top notch.
Seriously, guys, I just paid so much money in taxes and I'm trying to cut costs anywhere I can.
And my phone bill was one of those that was just unnecessarily so expensive.
that was just unnecessarily so expensive.
Mint Mobile is so great because it cuts the cost of your cell phone plan
down to 15 bucks a month.
You guys, I was paying more than 80 before.
Every plan comes with unlimited nationwide talk and text,
which is what I had before.
And with Mint Mobile,
you stop paying for unlimited data that you don't ever use.
I mean, we're all sitting at home with Wi-Fi.
We don't need all that data. So you just choose plans between 3, 8, or 12 gigabytes, and it's all that
4G LTE data that you're used to. Yeah, if you're still using one of the big wireless providers
this year, have you asked yourself, what the hell am I paying for? Between expensive retail rates,
inflated prices, and hidden fees, you're being taken advantage of because they know you'll pay.
Enter Mint Mobile. Mint Mobile provides the same premium network coverage you're being taken advantage of because they know you'll pay. Enter Mint Mobile.
Mint Mobile provides the same premium network coverage you're used to, but at a fraction
of the cost because everything is online.
Mint Mobile saves on retail locations and overhead and passes those savings directly
on to you.
So we got a deal for you.
Brandy, tell them about it.
To get your new wireless plan for just 15 bucks a month and
get the plan shipped to your door for free. Guys, this is a great deal. Go to mintmobile.com slash
YFT. That's mintmobile.com slash YFT. Cut your wireless bill to 15 bucks a month at mintmobile.com
slash YFT. Say some money, yo. Seriously, I'm trying. All right, quick PSA

Earning points on rent is now a reality when you pay your rent through built. You don't even have

Okay, well, not to take a turn onto the dark side here,
but let's talk about what we've learned this week.
Have you heard about the Wayfair scandal?
Like Wayfair?
That's like the shopping?
Yes. Okay.
Really? Did you not watch my stories yesterday?
No, I didn't.
I was outside playing!
Oh, jeez. Okay, hold on. First
I gotta send you something. So you have
a visual. Okay,
I just sent you this Instagram profile.
You don't really have to click there right now, but she has
a story highlight that's literally
called Wayfair that you can click through and kind of see what I'm talking about.
Basically, if you don't know and listen before everybody starts jumping down my throat, I'm not saying that this is 100 percent true because I don't know.
All I'm saying is that this is very suspicious.
And if they're innocent, then what's the harm in an investigation?
That's all I'm saying.
Can you tell me what the hell you're talking about?
Yeah, I just had to preface before everyone starts freaking out on me. I'm just saying,
look into it and make your own decision. So Wayfair is being accused of basically, um,
like sex trafficking. So they are selling these cabinets. Actually, they took them down once
people started noticing it and talking about it on Reddit, but they were selling these cabinets
that were like these plain gray, basic looking cabinet. Um, that's like garage storage. They were selling them for like $15,000
and each of them, they, all the cabinets looked exactly the same, but they each had the name of
a, like a girl, like a kid, like someone's name. And a lot of the, most of the names correlated
with a missing person, like a missing child. So people were like, Oh my God, they're trafficking
kids in these cabinets. Like, because if you search for the cabinet on like Google and you find it somewhere
else, it's like a $2,000 cabinet. And they're over here selling them for like 15,000. They're
also doing similar things with pillows and shower curtains, supposedly where it's like this basic
as hell pillow that they're selling for like $12,000. And it has a weird girl's name. So people
on Reddit, like, like figured this out and I'm
started talking about it. Wayfair rips down all the products and says, um, these are like garage,
like industrial grade cabinets and they are that price. But because the descriptions and photos
don't really like show you that we've taken everything down and we're going to rename them
and put the change of the description. Yeah. Freaking right. You're you were trafficking
kids and now you're caught and you're taking them down. And it's just crazy. Like you really have to click through what
I just sent you Wells and see it because it's like, I just don't know how you look at that.
And you think that, oh yeah, there's an explanation for that. Like it's absolutely insane. And then
there's like, if you dive deep enough, there's things too, where like, if you search the SKU
number of the product and then with this like code, like USA SRC or something on Google, it comes up with like kids in swimsuits and underwear and stuff.
Like it's freaking crazy.
And of course Wayfair is denying.
But all I'm saying is why not welcome an investigation with open arms if you're innocent?
That's all I'm saying.
Creepy.
You got to watch it.
Research it.
Did Epstein have like an investment in Wayfair?
I just saw the other day someone posted a picture of Ghislaine Maxwell with the president of Wayfair.
Oh.
I don't know.
I did see like I saw Mindy Kaling tweeted out like now I'm worried if there's a picture of me with Gayle somewhere out there.
You go to some freaking big hollywood party you know
you don't know who you're taking a picture with also wayfair was has already been under fire for
providing furniture to ice centers where that you know that where they're separating families and
stuff so they're already under fire for things but it's just crazy like do you know look into
it yourself make your own conclusion but i just think there's no other explanation i mean it is insane like there was a list of like 35 missing children's names that were named the same thing as these
cabinets and all listed for like fifteen thousand dollars like it's just nuts damn all right so sad
don't buy from wayfair well hold on let's pump the brakes let's have an investigation if they
are innocent then buy from them if they are not then i want an investigation. If they are innocent, then buy from them. If they are not, then...
I want an investigation.
All right.
The FBI...
I'm probably in on it like they were Jeffrey Epstein.
Oh, you think so?
I don't know.
Because everyone's all like shrugging it off like it ain't no thing.
Yeah.
It's depressing.
You know who we need to get on the case?
Who?
You know who we need to get on the case? Who? You know?
We need Mulder and we need Scully.
No.
We do.
No.
This is the time we need Mulder and Scully.
We need Mulder and Scully on the freaking Epstein case.
We need Mulder and Scully and the smoking man on the Wayfair case.
I want answers
about Wayfair.
That's where I've dedicated my time this week.
I've been down a deep, dark hole
researching all this.
I've been listening to theme songs from the 90s
and
Brandy's going
down a deep, dark hole. A hairy hole.
You've got to read that book. It's so good. All right, I will. You got any Muse acts? Oh, dark hole, a hairy hole. You got to read that book.
It's so good.
All right, I will.
You got any music?
Oh, I think I do, actually.
Oh, my mom, you know how we rip off YFT on Sorry We're Stoned.
She was playing a Paul McDonald song the other day.
Oh, really?
I saw that like Paul McDonald and like the Wildfeathers are all doing like these like
barn tours where they're basically just like for, you know, however much money they'll just like drive to your house and play a show.
That's cool.
I know.
So I was listening to my release radar this week and I noticed quite a few artists that were really, really big a few years ago, but not music.
And hopefully they're going to come back.
Foster the People has a new song out.
Really?
Yeah.
It's called The Things We Do.
Also Neon Trees. And there was one more. I? Yeah, it's called The Things We Do. Also, Neon Trees.
And there was one more I was like,
oh, coming back.
I love Foster the Pig.
I know.
And what I've given up all control
I won't be allowed to save the world
But I will need to understand
That the way things have been alright All right.
They're just such a vibe.
They are such a vibe. Also, I don't ever know if I'm pronouncing this band right. They're just such a vibe. They are such a vibe.
Also, I don't ever know if I'm pronouncing this band right.
Aquilo?
A-Q-U-I-L-O.
Is that how you say their name?
I think it's Aquilo.
Aquilo.
I love them.
They have a new song called Moving On.
It's a vibe also.
We run and run in circles.
Every argument we have.
It's beginning to sound pointless.
I just wish you could rely.
Cause you could get all excited for nothing. It's a vibe.
Such a vibe.
My girl Margo Price has a new record out.
It's called That's How Rumors Get Started.
And it's a song called Hey Child.
Your future's almost gone
The future's almost gone Hey child, better get it right on you
Hey child, you've got so many better things to do
Hey child Hey, child
You got dogs
Okay, so
Dogs that got you weak
I have been a fan and a friend of Margo's for a very long time.
And when I first met her, she was in a band called Buffalo Clover,
which was phenomenal, by the way.
That's a cool name.
Listening to this new record, and I was like, I've heard this song before.
And that's because it's from the Buffalo Clover days.
Check it out.
Oh.
Right?
Yeah. And I'm happy that she's doing so well and that Jack White pulled her out and really kind of just shot her out of the cannon into everyone's home.
But I remember being like, I love that Buffalo Clover project.
So I'm really pumped that she put
that in this new record which is cool that's awesome yeah you got anything else awesome I
like her she's great you know how like Facebook will be like remember when or whatever and like
showed up from like 2014 uh like a young Margo and a young fatter Wells outside my radio studio
and she gave me she gave me these underwear let's say
yeah a thing like in radio is like you always like kind of like bring something to your interview to
like whatever separates you and she brought me these red underwear that said in country we trust
oh my gosh and i need to got him no i. But I definitely wore them. I definitely wore them around.
Anyways.
My mom and I were on Chicks in the Office this week and they said they love you.
Oh.
Yeah, I think they said you'd been on and they really loved having you.
Yeah.
Well, I am great, you know.
That's not where I was going, but.
But where were you going with it?
Just that I was on Chicks in the Office, really.
It was really a plug.
The shameless self-promotion. If you want to hear from me one more time this week, check on Chicks in the Office, really. It was really a plug. The shameless self-promotion.
If you want to hear from me one more time this week, check out Chicks in the Office.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Well, I'm going to go look into the Wayfair situation.
You have to.
I'm going to.
It's crazy.
You know, I used to think that like that like human trafficking thing was just like no way.
Like no way in like, you know, 2015 used to think that like that like human trafficking thing was just like, no way, like no way. And like, you know, in 2015, is this really happening? And now it's like, this is the problem. I know. And now nobody wants to believe it's happening. I know. Because it sounds so crazy. Like, how could we do this? And in 2019 2020? How can we do this in 2020? But it's like happening. It's fucked up.
funny but it's like happening it's fucked up and the really fucked up part is it's happening like right in front of our faces like they hide it in plain sight it's like the whole thing you know
what i mean yeah it's crazy but like my mom's a perfect example she i was trying to tell her
about it and she was like no and i was like mom you are the problem you are the problem because
you don't want to see what's right in front of you i know i get really fired up apparently so
