Article, make your house not suck so much. What if was their if that was their slogan oh here she is here she is she comes in at the end of the ad you're acting like you had something you were doing before this podcast yeah yeah i've been on here since 6 12 no you have not yeah look at i texted you when i got on here and said or or not texted you, but Skype messaged you. What is your excuse today, Brandi? I like how you pretend like me being 10 minutes late affects your day because you're doing absolutely nothing over there in quarantined LA.

I could have finished my workout in the Peloton. I could have finished the tacos I was eating. Why didn't you start doing those things with plenty of time for the podcast? No, you don't get to turn around like this. I don't know what it's like. I was here on time. I want to hear why. I want to hear about the horse shit.

You need to know, it's been raining here for like the past 12 days. And you know how the rain affects my horse situation. I now keep my horse in a training barn an hour away from my house. So I drive an hour each way there and back. And I drove out there today and it was sunny and nice. And then I got there and it was pouring rain. So I got all tacked up and I stood there and I just was waiting for the rain to stop because it had been so on and off. I was like, it's going to stop and I'll get a window. And then, um, after about like, I don't know, I don't know how long I stood there, but it did stop. And so I got on and off. I was like, it's going to stop and I'll get a window. And then, um, after about like, I don't know, I don't know how long I stood there, but it did stop. And so I got on and then I was

on for five minutes and it's, and it was sunny and nice. And then out of nowhere, it just started pouring again. And I was like, all right, I'm just going to ride in the rain. Like, I don't care. And then after like five minutes, it started doing the kind of rain that feels like needles, like pelts, like pelting rain. And I was like, I got to go back inside. So I got off and went back inside and said that stood there and waited for it to stop. And after a little while, it did not have to get back on.

So it just took me a lot longer at the barn today. And then I had that whole hour drive back. So I'll have, you know, I have not eaten. I have not showered. I have not done anything, but walk in the store and sit down in front of this computer to talk to you,

to talk to everybody, not just me. We usually talk to everybody on Mondays and we're doing it on Saturday because Wells has to go somewhere. I have work. First work all year, huh? How does it feel? It feels very weird. I'll tell you that much.

After we record, I need to hear the steaming hot tea, if you have any, about what the frick's going on in bachelor nation right now. I'll tell you, I don't know anything that's going on. You know, nothing. So, okay.

So for those that don't know, I didn't know this until last night. I was like scrolling through Instagram on my explore page and a few things popped up. Rumor on the street is that Claire is causing some problems. Shocker. Shocker. Apparently she's not playing along and do it. Wanting to do things her own way. Shocker. Shockeroo. Apparently she's not playing along

and wanting to do things her own way. Shocker. The rumor is they're threatening to axe her ass and bring in Tayshia as the Bachelorette for this season. That's the rumor. So the rumor is that production wants to axe her? Because I heard it was the other way around. I heard that she fell in love after 12 days.

And wants to just end it. Yeah. And I'm sure the show's like but okay um but we have to film a television show you know yeah yeah i wouldn't be shocked if this is all true it sounds i mean not that i know the girl in person but from what i've seen on television i wouldn't be shocked if she's done this it makes me happy because that means she found someone she likes but i imagine okay just not to make this about me but i mean why not when i filmed jojo season i'm pretty sure she knew that jordan was the guy after 12 days you know yeah but she stuck it out and you know you know jumped through all the hoops and did all the bullshit to finish the stupid television show you know right that's what

you do yeah that's what you do if you get this opportunity it's also also lady this is gonna be the only time that you're allowed to date 30 guys with no judgment from anybody you might as well because if you get engaged you get married one guy for the rest of your life which is great i support that but you have an opportunity. You're not wrong. Of a lifetime. So yeah, guys, that's the tea. I'm here to find out if it's valid.

Yeah, I mean, okay. So can you just like go through it? Like, the guys must be like, wait, what? And then like, let's just say that this is true. I don't know if this is true. Just so I put this out there. I have no idea what's going on. So there's 30 guys there, right? Or like maybe that maybe there's like 20 now. She sent some home. Okay. And then she's like, okay, I like that guy, whatever his name is.

I'm leaving the show. And then Tayshia comes in or whoever it is. And they're like, wait, hold on. Now I'm just like this chick. All right, let's go. You know, like that's so weird. I know. I know. But I did see like one of the reasons people think this is happening is because they've asked all the guys that have already been sent home to come back or something. So I don't know what's going on. I would love for Tayshia to be the Bachelorette. I loved Tayshia. I thought she was awesome. The one thing that kind of bums me out about this, if there's any truth to this, which who knows what's going on, you know, it was such a cool thing to have like an older bachelorette on, you know, when you think of like an older, more mature woman, you think of like someone who's not going to take any shit.

And I hope that she doesn't come across as just kind of a kooky old cat lady, you know? Okay, but they should like, of course course it's claire like she comes across that way already to me like every season i've ever seen her on it's like if you wanted a like badass i don't know like uh i don't know like claire was not the choice if that's whatever you just described if that's what you're looking for yeah i know that when you think of like having like an older woman you want like a strong like powerful i powerful someone who's like i'm in love after like 17 hours like i'm in love i'm coming off the show be like whoa dude at least get to thailand you know i know well but they're not doing that because covid they're stuck in a resort in palm springs and maybe it's because i saw how hot it was it

was 120 degrees maybe she's she's like I want out because it's too fucking hot. I'm just sweating so much. I wouldn't blame her. But I hope to God that this is all true. Do you? The best season ever. Okay, Chris Harrison wannabe. No, I didn't say the most dramatic.

I said the best. So the fucking Bachelorette quits after five days of filming, and they got to bring in someone new, and then bring in everyone who got kicked off the show? If that's true, holy ballsack. As long as they keep the same guys. I liked, I mean, obviously I haven't seen it yet, but from their breakdowns,

I thought the group of guys seemed like I was excited to watch them on TV. Like they're older and cooler. Can you imagine? So she picks one dude, right? So what do you think happened? Do you think that they were just on a date and she was like, you know what? It's you. Let's just leave now.

Probably. He probably was like, wait, what? Hold on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I know. He's like, no, no, no, no, no. I know. He's like, no, no, no, no. I'm here to be the runner up and then become the bachelor next year. Can we not?

I was kind of hoping to get a one-way ticket to paradise. I don't know about this. Yeah. Oh, man. All right. Let's bag the bachelor talk and start the show. Okay. Sounds good.

Do you know that, like, the movie voice? Yeah, it sounded different. Well, it's different than the review voice I do. Oh, so we got multiple movie voices. Dude, I got, I'm the man of millions of voices. In a world. You got to get really close to the microphone. I do. Oh, so we got multiple movie voices. I'm the man in the millions of voices in a world. You gotta get really close to the microphone. Hold on. Hold on.

Let me do it. Let me do it. Let me do it. I got, let me move the thing. Here we go. In a world where everyone's stuck at home in quarantine, one bachelorette decides to throw it all away for one shot.

Just one shot at love. 17 minutes into filming. You crack yourself up, don't you? And one man can't believe what he's got himself into. Everyone's going gonna stop listening to this podcast. Coming this winter to ABC, The Bachelorette.

The Bachelorette, Dumpster Fire Edition. You got it. You got it. You got it. That's pretty fucking funny. I don't know if it was that funny. Did you see that Trump is trying to cancel TikTok? I know.

Why? There was like a rally in Tulsa for President Trump. I know. Why? There was like a rally in Tulsa for President Trump. And then there was like this thing on TikTok where everyone went and applied for tickets for it. And then like no one showed up. So he was embarrassed that like no one came to his rally. Yeah.

I do remember that. And that's why he's mad because it happened on TikTok. But also like of all the things I think you need to be focusing on, maybe don't focus on TikTok. You know? Huh. Which is my thought. thought I mean can you do that is this like China we live in now where you can like be like that app is not you can't you can't have that app okay here's the scary thing do you know that Instagram is literally taking down posts about coronavirus treatments. Like if you, like if I were to post something right now about how the hydroxychloroquine, whatever the frick drug people say works,

and some people say it doesn't. If you, if I were to post something right now to say that drug is a cure for coronavirus, it would get taken down and the message would pop up on my Instagram account saying that I'm spreading false information about COVID-19 and that it's been taken down. Well, yeah. That's insane. Yeah, but there should be some accountability on the social media provider's account that makes it so you can't perpetuate false information.

And there's been multiple tests done that say that hydroxychloroquine doesn't do anything. But there's also been a lot of people that have taken it and it has. No, see, Brandy. My friend Kavanaugh, I'm going to call her right now. My friend Kavanaugh had COVID and she took it and it made her better. Of all the studies the CDC has done, they've found that it doesn't have any effect either way. If anything, it's detrimental to healthy people.

Go read the reports. I mean, I've read stuff that says both ways and I don't know the answer. I'm not here to tell you I think one way or the other. I'm just telling you we're at a point where like freedom of speech is that's I mean, you should be able to post what you want. You know what I mean? Like if I posted that I had a cure for the flu, it wouldn't get taken down. It's just crazy. But you don't have a cure for the flu. So that would be lying. That's what I'm saying. I would be lying, but it wouldn't get taken down. It wouldn't get taken down. Okay. It's just crazy. But you don't have a cure for the flu. So that would be lying. That's what I'm saying. I would be lying,

but it wouldn't get taken down. It wouldn't get flagged. It would just live there because no one cares about the flu right now. Okay. So this all comes from Madonna made a post about that one doctor who believes in like the craziest shit in the world.

All this is coming from like this one thing that happened with Madonna. No, I haven't read about Madonna. Well, anyways, TikTok, man. Don't take away my TikTok. I like TikTok now, Don. You know? You cannot call him Don.

Why can't I call him Don? You give someone a nickname of someone you like. He gives everyone nicknames. You know? Sneaky Hillary and fucking Wacky Wells and Backstabbing Joe. I don't even know what his nickname is. It's all he does. Why can't I give a nickname?

Also, I'm not telling a nickname. His name is Donald. So is Dawn. I feel like he wants to get rid of TikTok because it's owned by a Chinese company. I know. Too bad TikTok's not Russian. Oh. I think he wants to get rid of TikTok because a lot of people on TikTok don't like him.

Yeah, I think so too. I don't know. My mom's going to be crushed. She just started learning TikTok dances and she really enjoys it. Oh, I bet. I bet she's great at it. You know? Went camping.

Oh yeah, how'd it go? I saw some content. Yeah, it was great. We camped at a friend's really cool property. So everyone that's like asking like where it was, you can't go because it was like someone's property. So sorry. But we did go to a place that's super dope.

Have you heard of Tree Bones? It sounds familiar. It's like definitely very Instagrammy. You can rent these yurts in Big Sur that overlook the water. I think my sister's done this. Yeah, and then there's these nests that you can camp in. Google right now, tree bones, and look at some of the images. It's crazy.

And you guys stayed there? We went there because Courtney is friends with the owner, so we went there and hung out, toured the grounds and everything. If you're looking for a place to go camp, seriously go check out. It's so sick. You're living in a yurt. It's like-

Planting. Yeah, and it's communal bathrooms and everything. Oh my God, bro. Super awesome. Is it expensive to stay in one of these? I mean, kinda. It just depends on like which one you go to, but it's definitely worth it in one of these i mean kinda it just depends on like what which one you go to but it's definitely worth it in terms of the view so dude so we took a gummy right

oh brother we start walking around tree bones okay it's the shire bro it is the Hobbiton 101 overlooking like the cliffs into the ocean. We walk past all these like beehives and we're like, oh, cool, man. They're making honey. And then, of course, right next to the beehives, there's this little garden. Okay. So we're like, that's smart. They're able to pollinate the flowers with the bees right next to it.

So we go into the garden and we're just like oh man look at all the fennel and look oh man look at the this is what kale looks like off the vine and then all of a sudden someone out of nowhere materializes and he's like hello how is everyone doing and we're like hey dude who are you and he's like i'm Daniel. I am the gardener here at Tree Bones. And we're like, whoa, okay. And so he starts foraging around. He's like, here, try this. He starts giving us all these edible flowers, chives, and just everything there. He's like, here, try this now. Oh, I love this. This rosemary bush is an amazing edible flower. Try this. And we kept on being like, okay, Danieliel we're

gonna go now thanks he's like oh wait hold on you haven't tried this yet and we're like oh my god so we eat all this stuff like straight from the ground from daniel and mind you by the way i saw someone was like are you wearing masks and everything yes we were wearing a mask okay we're everywhere and then we left i turned back to all the guys and I was like, was that guy real? Or did we just fucking materialize that guy? Because we wanted to see some sort of like woodland nymph feed us a bunch of chives from the garden. And everyone was like, I was thinking the same thing. I wasn't sure if he was real or not. Well, it sounds like he was the coolest job ever.

Totally. Totally. And then we went back and we were like so like our whale is whale watching that thing and they're like no it's too late in the year for whale watching and then we go back and that's this property we're staying at there they had these bathtubs that like overlooked the freaking ocean and all of a sudden giant breaching gray whales were flying out of the water and we were were all like, is this real or not? I know, I was going to say, was it real?

Sounds like maybe not. It was so good. This whole quarantine thing has been real tough on me. And like, I have been not doing well, like mentally. If you have a chance, and it doesn't have to be freaking big sir, dude, because I know that's ridiculous. If you can get out into nature for a couple days and kind of escape you cnn for a second and crazy bachelor news is going on i would highly suggest it because it's great agreed all that to

be said i have a bunch of favorite things okay and i'm gonna start with a show that like i'm obsessed with a little bit and I was so bummed. We binged it and then finished it in like two days and I was so bummed that it's over. How much does that suck? It's the worst. When you binge something and then it's done. It's like the biggest letdown. Like it's just so it's so sad.

Yeah. So this one's on Amazon. It's called Upload. Have you heard of it? I have heard of this. A man is able to choose his own afterlife after his untimely death by having his consciousness uploaded into a virtual world. As he gets used to his new life and befriends his angel, a real-world handler, questions about his death arise. Upload on Amazon.

death arise. Upload on Amazon. So it's Robbie Amell who played like Sarah's boyfriend in a bunch of movies and a couple of movies and then also on Modern Family. What he started with was The Duff. Do you remember that movie? Oh, yeah. Anyways, he lives on the street from us. So like we've gotten to know him. He's a really nice guy. I really like Robbie. And so but for whatever reason, it took us a while to watch. And then finally, we watched it. And it's phenomenal. It is absolutely phenomenal. It's sci-fi and comedy, love story. It's everything. So it happens in like 2036.

It's so cool. He's in his like driverless car. He's having sex with his girlfriend, who's like kind of like this vapid, dumb blonde, having sex in the car while it's like taking them home, which is like, I was like, this is so cool. I can't wait for this to be real at reality you know they stop and like she gets out and like goes to like her apartment or whatever and then like he keeps on going and then he gets into a car crash which is like not supposed to happen with driverless cars right and so i guess there's this thing so if you are about to die you can upload your consciousness into like this server and then

you can continue living your like afterlife basically in digital form and you can still communicate with people that are living it's just so interesting and like so funny and the sci-fi part of it i love anyways i really brandy i really think you you would like upload okay yeah sounds really good it almost sounds like a combination of Ready Player One meets the new Westworld. It's Ready Player One. And did you ever watch The Good Place? No. It's with Kristen Bell.

It's kind of similar to that, but a little more brash. And dude, Upload. Check it out. I think Little Dog has to go poo-poo because she is farting. Can I let her outside really quickly? Yeah, let little dog go take a shit. She's like laying right by my feet and farting and that's just not normal. So, beer me.

Come on, little. You want to go potty? Okay, while this shit is happening, did you guys see this video of this girl on TikTok that's like you will only hear the word you're reading and it's either brainstorm or, oh, you're back already. Yeah, I've seen that. Okay. I don't know what is happening with the world, but it totally blew my mind. Same.

Okay. Do you think it's possible that it really is just going back and forth between saying what what is it brainstorm and what else because i'm curious okay what did you just hear that time because you can't see my screen right i know i wonder if it'll be different if i'm not reading the word okay for everyone that doesn't know there's this girl that says like you will only hear the word you're reading. It either says brainstorm or green needle. And whatever word you look at on the screen, you'll hear that sound. Here's the interesting thing. All the YFTers out there can't see anything.

So I want to, and you as well, I want to know what you hear without hearing anything or seeing anything, okay? I want to know what you hear without hearing anything or seeing anything. Okay. What did you hear? Green needle. Me too. So now think of the word brainstorm. Okay.

Everyone out there. Think of the word brainstorm. Okay. Did you hear brainstorm? I heard fucking brainstorm. I didn't do do what's going on i don't i think it's the glitch the matrix brand i i think this is proof that was all the whole thing's a simulation bro like i was thinking because i was watching this earlier and i was like is it possible that they really are going back and forth and saying both words somehow. And we just haven't, I don't know.

And they're just tricking us into thinking that it's the same sound. I don't know. I think it's your brain trying to make sense of stuff. And I think your brain does that. You know, it tries to make connections and stuff. And so you see the word, that's what you're going to hear. But that's crazy. It's nuts.

It's like that stupid dress, but so different because it's like what you hear instead of seeing. Yeah, or it's like Yanni. Yeah. Laurel. What was the other one? Laurel. Laurel. Laurel.

Yanni. That was weird too. Yeah. I don't know, man. It's freaky. Speaking of freaky, I got a book for you, sister. You do? Great.

I need a new book. Okay, hold on. First of all i finished i've been on a tear bro i finished the guest list it's like the game clue you know who done it was it the the butler with the candlesticks it's like that i really enjoyed it and i especially enjoyed it because of the narration okay okay and by the way this isn't the thing that I think you're going to like. This is just the other book. Yeah. Okay.

It's a Reese's book club pick. Oh, you love those. The bride, the plus one, the best man, the wedding planner, the bridesmaid,

the body on an Island off the coast of Ireland. Guests gathered to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one, the groom, a handsome and charming rising television star. The bride, a smart and ambitious magazine publisher. It's a wedding for a magazine or for a celebrity. The designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the ways may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed. But perfection is for plans and people are all too human.

As the champagnes popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscence and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not so accidentally ruins her dress. The bride's oldest male friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast. And then someone turns up dead who didn't wish the happy couple well, and perhaps more important, why? What's awesome about this book, it's every chapter is split up it's narrated through the perception of a different guest at the wedding so it's either the bride or the plus one or the best man or the the wedding planner or the cook or the dead body it's so cool how it's done it's

not like a mind-blowing book that's going to change your world, but so good. Okay. I mean, it sounds great. And then the book that I just started reading like two days ago that I am obsessed with. This is the one I'm going to love? This is the one you're going to love. Okay, great. It's called Axiom's End. Ooh. Great. It's called Axiom's End. Ooh.

It's fall 2007. A well-timed leak has revealed that the U.S. government might have engaged in first contact, like with the aliens. Cora is doing everything she can to avoid the whole mess since the force driving the controversy is her whistleblower father. Even though Cora hasn't spoke to him in years, his celebrity has caught the attention of the press, the internet, the paparazzi, and the government.

And with him in hiding, that attention is on her. She neither knows nor cares whether her father's leaks are hoax and wants nothing to do with him until she learns just how deeply entrenched her family is in the cover-up and that an extraterrestrial presence has been on Earth for decades.

Realizing the extent to which both she and the public have been lied to, she sets out to gather as much information as she can and find the best way for her to uncover the truth is not as a whistleblower, but as an intermediary. The alien presence has been completely uncommunicative until she convinces one of them that she can act as their interpreter. Becoming the

first and only human vessel of communication, their otherworldly connection will change everything she thought she knew about being human and could unleash a force more sinister than she ever imagined. Axiom's End. So good, dude.

They don't have a paperback. It's only hardcover, and it's like $30. Okay, I'll buy it for you. No, you won't. You said you'd buy Olivia Vibrator and look where we are. That's different. Okay, you know what? I'm going to do it right now.

But also, if that guy or girl, but I think it's a guy, is one of the listeners of YFT that stole my Razor scooter in high school, fuck you. Okay? Okay. I also remember that party's really funny. party my buddy paul was buying weed and the guy the drug dealer whatever you know like some other high schooler drove up and was like selling the weed to my buddy paul and so he's like like gave him the bag and so paul gave him the money and uh so paul was smelling it and then the drug dealer like out of the passenger side window was like let me see that again i want to smell it and so paul gave it back to him and he opened up to smell

and then the driver just sped away and took his money and the weed and probably my regular scooter. Paul was so mad. But I remember just being there like, oh shit, that was a good move. How old were you at this party?

I was in high school and I could drive. So I was like 16, 17. Interesting. Did you not smoke weed in high school? I don't smoke weed now. I don't either. Unless I'm going camping. Oh, wow.

But I also, I didn't even know anyone that smoked weed in high school. I was such a goody goody. Oh my God. Which is so amazing because your parents are constantly baked. I know. But my mom wasn't when I was in high school. My dad was, but he lied about it. And my mom didn't know he was doing it until like now.

And now, but yeah, it's a whole nother thing. Yeah. Well, it's legal now, so no one can give anyone crap about it. So it's all good. It's all good in the hood, yo. Yeah. But don't steal razor scooters, man. Don't steal Billy razors either. But do buy one because they, yo. Yeah. But don't steal Razor scooters. Don't steal

Billy Razors either. But do buy one because they're dope. Yeah, you should buy them. You really struck a chord when you talked about how depressing it is when you binge something and it's over. Yeah. Because I've finally reached the point in Yellowstone Season 3 where I'm caught up and I have to

wait every week for a new episode. Oh my god. It's really got me torn up. Sorry. But that's what I've been doing. Binging Yellowstone. Guys, it's so good. Since March freaking whatever, we've been quarantined and we all cruised through

everything great to watch in the first like three weeks. So we've just been getting by watching reruns of Lost and Grey's Anatomy and watching mediocre shit on Netflix that's like dubbed over in a different language

and doesn't even match up with the mouth moving. And finally, I found a show that is freaking fantastic. And now I've reached the end. You guys got to watch it all of a sudden. It's just so good.

The first couple episodes of season three, I was thinking it wasn't going to be as good as the first two seasons, but now that I'm deep in it, it is just as good. And honestly, Casey just keeps getting hotter and hotter and hotter. And yeah, I just love it so much.

Okay. So is that what you got is the Yellowstone thing? That's pretty much what I got. Yeah. But you know what? I had a lot of YF tears. You know the show I talked about last week, that guy Casey that I know is in, In the Dark or whatever? Yeah.

So many people in my DMs saying that I got to watch it because the people love it. Really? So I'm going to start that tonight, yeah. I'm just excited because Umbrella Academy Season 2 is out. So I'm really excited about that. I do have a cute movie for you guys out there. A cute movie? We were actually talking about her earlier.

Kristen Bell is the star in a movie that came out in 2018, but for whatever reason, we just saw it, called Like Father. Have you heard of this one? No. Her father is played by Kelsey Grammer. Everyone remembers him as Frasier. It was written and directed by Lauren Miller Rogan. Do you know who that is? No. That is the wife of Seth Rogan. Seth Rogan, I figured. So he's in it as well. I love Seth Rogan. Yeah. After she's left

the altar, a workaholic advertising executive ends up on her Caribbean honeymoon cruise with her estranged father. It's like a cutesy, like, well, gets it right in the old ticker. You know, she hates her father because he left her, you know, when she was a kid and made her kind of the woman that she is. And then he comes to the wedding and then she gets left at the altar and then they go get fucked up. And when they're like outside her apartment at like six in the morning, she realizes that her car service is there to take her on her honeymoon. But she never got married. So she convinces her father, who she doesn't really know, to go on the cruise with them. And then it's all about them

trying to figure out their relationship and like rekindle and everything and their ups and downs and friends become enemies and enemy enemies become friends and of course there's a funny gay couple involved and there's a funny black couple that's involved and they're all on this crazy wacky honeymoon cruise and And it is so good. If you're looking for that type of thing. If you're looking for that type of thing. If you're not looking for that type of thing, then whatever. But if you're looking for like a cute seat, like gets you kind of in the heart, you know, it's good.

Okay, cute. I did have a YFTier send me a book recommendation that I thought I would share because it sounds great. So I might have to pick this up as well amanda smith thank you for the rec she said i have a book series recommendation for you it's a series that is the perfect combination between hunger games and 50 shades i mean this sounds too good to be true she said it says it's a dystopian romance novel there are four books anarchy loyalty revolution and annihty, Revolution, and Annihilation. And the author is Megan Devos. She said there's not a lot of buzz surrounding the series, but there absolutely should be. Books are way too entertaining, juicy, and literally

can't put them down. Honestly, she said honestly would make a fire Netflix series if Tish the Dish wants to produce. Sounds great. And for someone like you, Wells, that just really loves The Hunger Games, I feel like maybe you should pick it up. I'm down, but first I gotta read Axiom's End.oms end um i also had a yf tier send me a pretty funny review can i read it yeah please you know what the best part about this review is it is short sweet and

to the point and not eight minutes long like your reviews okay first of all i hate to like burst your bubble those are the highlights of the episode. Okay. Well, this one, some people might have seen this actually. It was on an Instagram account. So this one is for a noise canceling headphone. So not so, are you playing music? Yeah.

Sarah McLachlan, Angel. Oh, perfect. Here it is. Yeah. So, not so funny story. Someone in the apartment unit above us got stabbed. According to the cop who interviewed us, the attacker rang the upstairs doorbell, and when the guy answered, the attacker forced his way in and stabbed the guy.

You want to know what the scary part is? I didn't hear a thing. Thanks to my amazing HyperX Cloud II headphones, I got them on Amazon for $99.99, free shipping. And these things worked as advertised. Probably the best noise-canceling headphones I've ever owned. 10 out of 10. Would buy again.

Do you think that's real? I hope not. But it was creative and funny. It is funny. I was looking for a couple. I wanted to do this one. I don't know if I'll be able to do it justice. So this is a review for the book English Grammar for Dummies.

Five Stars is the best book. May 14, 2005 by Nikolai Krasetsky. This review is from English Grammar for Dummies, the paperback version. When I first come to America, my English did cause me problem. In Soviet Russia, I was strong teacher. My English I know is best in all of Petropavlovsk. was strong teacher. My English, I know, is best in all of Petropavlovsk. My brother, Nikolai, he said to me, Nikolai, you go to America. They make you rich like czar. Take many women as lover. Kill many bear. My brother, he is very wise. He is the greatest toy maker in all of Russia. So next day I wake up, I sell my house, say goodbye to wife and children,

and I go to America to become millionaire. Then in America, I go to job interview and they say to me, Nikolai, you are not good for job here. You are not the skills we need. Your English is poor like child. I take the man and I smash his table. I say, someday I will be greatest man in all of country. Your children will wish me their father. That day my anger is best of me.

It is then I know I must learn better English. So I buy book. English grammar is for dummies by Mr. Woods. Now I am perfect English grammar. I write letter to Mikael. He write back, Nikolai, your English is like God. You will be millionaire soon. All of Petropoulos is proud for you. Good luck, brother. Please send letter when you are president

or maybe even czar. Also, your wife is killed by bear. So I say, thanks to Mr. Woods for this book. When I am czar, your family will be spared. Ha ha ha ha ha. This is joke. Unbelievable. You had fun with that one, huh?

I did. I also saw the review for The Wolf of Wall Street. Like the movie? One star. May 6th by Shiva P. This review is from The Wolf of Wall Street.

Blu-ray. There were no wolves in this movie. One star. Oh. Anyway. Wow. I know, so dumb. oh anyways wow um well it's not a new movie but netflix is actually kind of genius because i think they pull old movies from the vault and put them up on like what's trending right now you know what i mean? Like popular movies. But this one's from like the 1990s. But it's crazy because I had two friends of mine

that were always texting and like recommending stuff for each other to watch. And all three of us had watched this movie like in the span of the same two days because it was up on the Netflix thing. So anyway, it's called How Do You Know? And it's with Reese Witherspoon and Paul Rudd. Have you seen it?

No. But you love Paul Rudd. I mean, I know, but I don't celebrate his entire discography. Well, it's definitely a chick flick. So I'm not really sure, like entirely sure how much you would love it. But Reese Witherspoon, I love this movie for her because she plays like a professional softball player. Like she's on like Team USA softball or something. So she's like a total bro. Like she's just like team USA softball or something. So she's like a total bro.

Like she's just like, it's just totally not, not normally her character. Um, but she's obviously beautiful. So she, it's, it's like a love triangle situation where she is dating Owen Wilson,

who is like the rich handsome. He's also a professional baseball player, like plays for team USA, I guess baseball, but he's like complete douchebag. And just like the whole freaking film, he'll like drop bombs on her like, oh, you thought we were exclusive?

I'm sorry. And he's like banging four other chicks at the same time. And so it's just like this whole thing. And of course, Paul Rudd is the good guy that's just like heart eyes for her and just such a puppy dog. And she walks all the way around or whatever. But it's just adorable.

Paul Rudd's hilarious. Honestly, Owen Wilson is too. They're both so funny. And it's just a cute, feel good, you don't have to think too hard about it, chick flick. But we, you know what? I miss those. We don't really, they don't make those anymore.

Yeah. I mean, they do, but. No. Yeah, there's like the kissing booth is out right now. Not like they used to. Yeah, well. Not like they used to. I agree.

I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree. What do you think the greatest movie ever made is? I have no idea. I can't pick. Like, it's ironic because this show is called Your Favorite Thing, but I have a really hard

time. Like, when someone asks, what's your favorite song of all time? I can't answer that. There's too many. Yeah. It's too much pressure. Well, what's your favorite song? I don't know. What's your favorite song this week then well that's yeah see that's an entirely different thing you can do that um do you really want to know is that the name of the song do you really want to know no but that

would be a good song name you're gonna die but so since we've talked last week i just felt like i had to listen to the taylor swift record i just gotta hear i just once. And, you know, I think it's pretty well known. I'm not the biggest Swifty. All right. But, you know, you can't deny. She's normally got like one song, sometimes two on every record. That's just undeniably a great song. But there's one song that I think is freaking phenomenal.

It's called Invisible String. And I'm obsessed with it. Very well written. Great folky track. I love it. She said I looked like an American singer. Turn, mystical turn, cutting me open and healing me far. Were there clues that I didn't see? Isn't it just so pretty to think all along the way? I liked the Bon Iver one because... Of course you did.

I like Justin Vernon, a.k.a. Bon Iver. But it was interesting that he didn't use his auto-tune stuff, but it was still very good. I can't believe we're promoting Taylor Swift right now. She needs any help from us. No, she definitely doesn't. I will say this. Taylor loves this.

It's a very like Taylor run. It's. Totally. She does it a lot in a lot of her songs. And I'm not saying it's shitty. I'm just saying it's a very Taylor run that she does a lot. Yeah. That's why I liked that Invisible String song. It was just melodies I've never heard her sing and the cadence of, you know, the lyrics and everything were just different for her.

I really liked it. I mean, I thought it was cool that she had Bon Iver on there. I guess maybe my question to you is who's one artist that you would want to collab with if you were like Taylor Swift or like Miley Cyrus? For me, probably Ben Howard. He's just one of my ultimates. Him or John Mayer, which is cliche, but I just love John Mayer. I like it. Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness has a new song.

McMahon. No, that's not what it says. I believe his name is Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. McMahon. Yeah, maybe. From what I remember of my radio days, that's what we said. So I could be wrong about that. You're probably right, Mr. Radio Man.

I could be wrong. What song? Get on my wave. When you're not mine, it's hard to keep right in. I get overwhelmed, paddling out into the rising tide. You are my whole wide world, and I was just in space, man. I was just in space, man. Now you're everywhere. And I would like to be there too.

So I paint myself blue. Hoping I could be your sky. Now the coast is on fire and we're drinking in the day. Yeah, I dig on Andrew McMahon. You know he was in Jack's Mannequin, and then he was also in Something Corporate. Something Corporate. Yeah. Yeah, and that's why I like this song is it's very reminiscent of Something Corporate to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I loved. And then our guy Andrew Bell has a new song called To Be Alone. I saw that. I know. I told you there was more to give. If you'd open up and let me in. Ah, this is what it feels like. This is what it feels like This is what it feels like Cause I've been searching for a pin To rest inside this rusted haze

This is what it feels like Andrew Bell. I could listen to him sing and it just puts me in such a good headspace. I don't know. Even when it's sad, you know? He's the best. Oh, last thing.

Do you have any more stunt music? No, it's fine for now. Okay. Last thing. Not an ad. Should be, but not an ad. My buddy, Jeremy Lister, who's in Street Corner Symphony and I played stuff his before. street corner symphony and i played stuff his before dude they have this hot sauce called blister hot sauce that i'm not fucking with you it is the greatest hot sauce i have ever tasted

and he's been making this hot sauce forever he'd come to my show and like give me his lister blister hot sauce and now they make it and it is like i'm telling anyone out there likes hot sauce no this is it has nothing to do with this guy's my friend i mean it that's how i got it originally but like i am not fucking with you it is the best hot sauce ever so just go to blisterhotsauce.com you can get it or they're in nashville so i guess you could maybe buy it there but like it is the and i gotta be honest with you. The the original the red one is I think better than the jalapeno. But they're both fantastic.

So anyways. Hot sauce. Get you some. I love hot sauce man. This is like not important. But I'm just curious if this is happening to you. I'm trying to think what I guess I've not been watching Netflix. I've been watching like philo and peacocks i'm watching yellowstone so maybe it's it's just on these two platforms but is it just me or are there like five different commercials right now that have a

fucking doorbell sound in them oh yeah every single time that it happens my dogs just lose their shit and just run out of the house like it's on fire, barking and screaming. And it's like it's like it happens like every commercial break. And I'm like, you guys, haven't you figured it out yet that there's no one at the door? They haven't, though. I think we need to ban doorbells from commercials. It's just like not cool. You know, I really wish that I started playing what what what was bobbing you out something about doorbells you're gonna make me do it all over again just what's happening what's going on

doorbells in commercials was it yeah they're making my dog crazy. Oh, shit. Listen, save a dog. Take doorbells out of commercials, okay? I agree. Well, it should be illegal, and I'll tell you why. When, you know it's illegal to have sirens in radio ads? Oh, I mean, that's good.

It should be. Yeah, because when you're driving, you hear a siren, you might fucking freak out and pull over. Very true. Alright? You got doorbells. The dogs, that's like the same thing. But for the dogs, they freak out, man. Every time. It's so annoying. Because they're all

in my bed and they just all like jump up and jump on top of me and start barking and just like zoom out the doggy door. Like every time it's so annoying so annoying in honor of who you said you would uh you'd like to collaborate with you playing a little ben howard i'm gonna close that with uh with old pine because this song always reminds me of um camping and i actually camping. And I actually even used it in, I think, one of my videos on Instagram from camping. And

it's such a good song. Did you like this song? This whole album is just epic. It's my favorite album of his. Yeah, by the way, it's called, is it Every Kingdom? Yeah, Every Kingdom. Yeah, it's like the cover's got like him diving down in the water.

This whole record. What else is on this record, though, by the way? So many things. Only Love was the big hit on it. I love Black Flies. It's one of my favorite ones on there. Oh, yeah. Black flies on the windowsill.

Yeah, just like that. I know windowsill. Yeah, just like that. I know. Anyway, it sounds just like that. I should probably be Ben Howard. Definitely. All right. Well, I wish you a good week. It's Astra's birthday on Wednesday.

Oh, that's cute. I got her. One year old. I got her a gift. Do you know what I got her? The book that you sent me? Axiom Zins on Amazon. I've been told

I've been sleeping bags. I've come to know the memories. You know the song? The best things you ever had. I'm not going to sing it. Sing it. So far from home where the ocean it. All right, Brandy. I love ya!
