Episode Date: August 3, 2022

Wells starts us off strong with stories about nap time and blood donation, and welcomes Brandi warmly by wishing that she find love at his wedding. Brandi fills us in on all her sassy and classy events, and your hosts decide that she should put herself out there to be Mule Day Queen 2022. Wells explains to Brandi that there is actually a format to this show; she just isn’t paying attention. Also, as the YFTers have spoken in support of bach recaps, your hosts dive in and discuss how this girl power season is not turning out very girl-power-y. Wells then takes us through his close encounter with Covid, and Brandi paints a picture of her big WWE outing that has inspired her upcoming Halloween costume. Lastly, Wells discusses geo-guessing and fasting, and circles us back once again to the promise of Brandi being Mule Day Queen.

Okay. How are we feeling today, YFT tears feeling good feeling loose feeling limber do a quick stretch get ready for the day do you remember that in school like in preschool or kindergarten or first grade where like you would stretch in the morning was that just like where i went to school? Like I remember preschool in Canary Island, we'd take naps. There was nap times. You have like your own little nap blanket that you'd sleep on.

I mean, it's got to be a terrifying sight if you don't know that it's nap time when you come into that room, you know? Like you're just like taking a tour of a school and like you walk into a room and there's just 30 kids all sleeping. And you're like, is this a cult? Did everyone drink the Kool-Aid? Is Haley Bob coming back? No, it's just 30 kids all sleeping. And you're like, is this a cult? Did everyone do the Kool-Aid? Is Haley Bob coming back? No, it's just nap time, Wells.

Oh, great. Grand, wonderful. But also, this is crazy. We have nap time for kids. What's that about? Had to go get some blood today. It was like a donation thing, which I should do though.

But anyways, I went and gave some blood today at the labs to do a panel. I definitely ate this morning and they were like, did you eat in the last 12 hours? And I definitely did. I had like an avocado beforehand. Does that ruin the entire test? Does the avocado throw everything off or is like the no eating thing so you don't faint for giving blood? Because I had just eaten and I went over there. So it was like just in my stomach. So you don't faint for giving blood because i had just eaten and i went over there so it was like just in my stomach so i don't even know my stomach i really started to absorb all the nutrients you know so i'm not even sure it's even going to show up on the blood panel i don't know i forgot but also scientists figure it out all right we're humans we got to eat all the time you can't be

saying 12 hours 12 hours i can't What? But you can drink coffee. Coffee fucks up my fucking world much more than an avocado does. Avocados get fat. Coffee's a drug, son. You're bouncing off the walls. All right, it's called the brand. Bing, bong, boom. Bing, bang, boom.

What's up? How you doing? Are you still hungover from a few days ago? No. No, but that was a bad hangover. I could hear it in your voice. Yeah, you could. My voice, it was rough.

You were struggling. I was on the struggle bus. And for those of the YFTers out there that don't follow me on Instagram, what the fuck? But I had a two sandwich hangover. Right. Where I was so hungover that I just ordered two sandwiches because we were going to need it

to survive. Yeah. And I did. I door dashed both those bitches over and I ate them slowly throughout the day and it brought me

back to life. Well, I'm happy for you. Yeah, but I got wasty faced. So much so that like it was enough to not want to drink for the rest of the week.

Wow. The rest of the week. Wow. Well, that that's tough someone who's a social drinker yeah i feel yeah kind of honestly you might be wanting to build up some uh tolerance for the wedding weekend i know i think i'm gonna fake drink on the wedding weekend smart i know i know. I think I'm gonna fake drink. It's not a bad idea. Just a lot of like sody waters with lime and just have everyone think that I am a boozen.

Mm-hmm. But yeah, I know you're right though. I do need to get ready. Get ready for it. Gotta start doing like calisthenics with my liver to get ready. Are you getting ready? I probably should be.

I had one margarita last week and I was, woof, litty kitty. Ooh, sheesh, litty kitty. Sheesh, litty kitty. Well, there's gonna be some single men at this thing. I really hope that you find love at my wedding. Are there? I mean, I think so. Because when we talked about this before, you acted like, I feel like everyone's paired up.

Yeah. I mean, they kind of are, but then they kind of aren't, you know? I mean, yeah. We'll see. Commitment means nothing these days. It means nothing. Have you watched The Bachelor? Is anyone even together anymore from that show i don't think so now bachelor paradise different story speaking of the bachelor or the bachelorette we gotta talk about that a little bit have to yeah you got anything else going on right now oh my god i went to wwe summer slam last weekend so we'll definitely talk about that the music city grand prix is this weekend big nascar race in town you know, a lot of events going on that I'm going to.

You're going to a lot of redneck shit. Well, that's what happens when you live in Nashville, Tennessee. Those are the options. No, there is some class in Nashville. Like what? Going to the Skirmerhorn Symphony Center. Could you really see me there? No, but you're going to WWE Smackdown NASascar you're going to a tractor pool next honestly maybe

i did go to the rodeo this year too which was that was a sight yeah rodeos can be fun you know what really fun county fairs are they fun is that really anymore i don't know i just have nostalgia of like i remember having so much fun at the county fair. Yeah, I feel like as an adult, they're not as fun. Maybe so. But like, I don't know, you take like an edible or something, you walk around there, go on the Gravitron. Yeah, that would be the key there is that edible. Yeah, I think that's what you got to do. Get a turkey leg, you know, eat some bacon wrapped hot dogs.

Oh, yeah. Diet starts tomorrow. I'm a big fan of Mule Day myself. Mule Day here. What's Mule Day myself. Mule Day here. What's Mule Day? It's literally a day where people bring their mules and mules do races and shows and competitions and people ride mules and people show off their mules

and who has the prettiest mule and they sell mule things and souvenirs and it's pretty redneck, but it's really fun. What the fuck happened to Nashville since I left? Has it like reverted back to the 1700s? It's taken a turn. Are people just marrying their cousins and shit over there now? What's happening?

I wouldn't be shocked. Jeez Louise. Tractor pools, mule day? Mule day, yeah. Mule day. You know what's funny is that I'm friends with a guy whose wife was the mule day queen. Now see? It's a thing.

I know. That's the worst fucking name for something. You're the Mule Day Queen? What does that mean? Are you the queen of the mules? Yes. Do they heed your demands? Do they bow down at your feet?

Hail, Megan Scott, the Mule Day Queen. Here she comes. She's beautiful. Oof. Honestly, if I had known that was a thing, I would have tried out for that. You can still be the Mule Day Queen. I guarantee you the acceptance qualifications are not that strict. Not that strict.

35, and my aspirations is to be Mule Day Queen 2023. Can you just do that for fun? Can you like go sign up just for fun? Yeah, just for content. Just, yeah. And if nothing else, just to get denied from being the Mule Day Queen. You have so much faith in me.

There probably is some age restrictions. After reviewing your application, we have to deny you to be considered a Mule Day Queen. And then we start a fucking fire sale social media storm against the Mule Day Committee and what they're doing and the blatant ageism that's happening with the Mule Day Queen celebration. All right? This is 2022. We can't accept it. No. No.

All right. I'm going to go for it. I would love that more than anything, I think, right now. All right. Let's start the show. Let's talk about The Bachelorette here in a second. Okay. Okay.

Okay. I got thoughts. Okay. Sounds good. I think thoughts. Okay, sounds good. I think it's you. All right. Bros and hoes, you're listening to Your Favorite Thing Podcast with Wells and the future Mule Day Queen.

That's Ship.com code your favorite thing do it oh speaking of we're gonna drop the trailer for best in dough my new hulu show and i saw it's so good it's exciting so cute so excited for that but the bachelorette we did pull the yft years out there and it was kind of i guess the number was more surprising than i thought i thought it would be kind of I thought. I thought it would be kind of down the middle. I thought it would be kind of down the middle, people being like, take it or leave it or whatever, or like talk about The Bachelor. But it was a lot of people wanting more batch talk.

So got to give the people what they want. Yeah. I figured that. I did too, actually. I know. I think it's everyone's like guilty pleasure and now we're in it and we can't get out. Yeah, that's true. pleasure and now we're in it and we can't get out yeah that's true and listen if you're one of those people that don't like batch talk i usually edit this show that we're done by the 20 minute mark

so if you just want to skip ahead 20 minutes it's usually where we're done with that yeah that's nice of you to let them know that yeah i probably should be more up upfront with my editing processes. Because there are, we hit things that I don't even think that you realize we do. Oh, I definitely don't because I don't listen back. Yeah. Remember? So like I always try to have like we should start the show part happen around 10 minutes. Because we have an ad that goes there.

And that's what the ad wants to be. And then generally if we have a middle section, it's usually in another 10 minutes at 20, that 20 minute section, which is we're done with the batch. And then we get into, you got to, you got to pay things, bro.

That's usually how this show goes. So you're saying we actually do have a format and I just, you just don't know. You just don't know. I'm just driving this ship through the night and you have no idea where we're going, but you just trust me. The Mule Day Queen trusts me. I do, and you know what?

I don't trust a lot of people. I'm a control freak. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That means a lot. You should really feel good about that. I am proud of that. It makes me happy. That's good.

What doesn't make me happy is The Bachelorette right now. Oh. Okay, I'm going to say something that i might edit out but don't do that just say it i don't know if i like anybody on this show oh okay what i mean by that is like you guys all know that I love villains because they're TV makers. Sinead's of the world. Remember I was like, keep Sinead on there. This show's going to suck if Sinead leaves. I'm sorry.

And there is no Sinead. There's nothing. It's all vanilla. Even Hayden, I'm like, okay, you're a bad villain, guy. You're right. There hasn't been a good villain at all. No. There hasn't.

Here's what I think. I just think the two bachelorettes thing, they can't ever do this again, first of all. We don't even really get to see what's going on. Like, for instance, Gabby's date this week, her group date, the boxing or whatever, the fighting. I have thoughts. They didn't even show anybody doing anything. You didn't get to see anyone's personality.

You didn't get to see any drama. You didn't get to see any anything because the whole time they were talking about how Rachel was crying because she's not getting any attention. But it's not her date. She's never been there. And it was Gabby's date. Like we separated them for a reason. We wanted them to have their own journeys for a reason.

And I get it. They think this is going to make drama and's gonna you know be good tv or whatever because she's gonna the jealousy and all that it's honestly backfiring on them yeah it's making rachel cry because how like girls just you you can't help but compare you know like what you've got going on to like what she's got going on it's like a football just getting tossed back and forth like every episode one girl's pumped and one girl's crying and one girl's you know having a great time and one girl's you know questioning everything and it's just like they just every other episode well now it seems like it's just rachel not having a good time yeah but it was gabby for a second what

annoyed me about that date was like rachel this isn't about you why are you making this about you this is this is gabby's group date if i I was Gabby, I'd have been like, can we get the other girl out of here? I want everyone to focus on me. What are we doing here? Yeah. I think the problem is, it's like, what is it? Are they like championing each other and girl power, whatever?

Or are they in competition with one another? Because I don't know what it is. I don't think they know. I think that they want it to be the former, but it's really the't think they know i think that they want it to be the former yes but it's really the latter i know if i learned anything from attending the wwe summer slam a few nights ago yeah it is that when you have a group of men yeah at any type of sporting event whatsoever i don't care if it's a fucking backyard putt-putt game or if it's the stanley cup playoffs men at a sporting event care about one thing only and it is that fucking sport they

are tunnel vision one track mind they're just so simple-minded it's a sport sports are live sports like those dudes are so into this fucking fight and their friends are fighting each other and it's physical and it's a sport of sports or life. Like they're not even thinking that this is about Rachel because it's Gabby's date too. Like when she came and confronted them after that date, Rachel, none of those guys had any fucking clue. They were all so shocked. Like they just had no idea. clue. They were all so shocked. They just had no idea. Maybe if I was a producer on the show, that's what I would have said to Rachel is like, first of all, this isn't your date. So you shouldn't be acting this way. I'm trying to take the spotlight away from Gabby. Secondly, you guys

are audience members. In this setting, Rachel, your guys are there just to be audience members and clap and scream and whatever. They're not really there to like go and start wooing you and like talking to you because you know why? It's not your date. I'm sure all the guys are like, they've now figured out how this thing's working, like how this production's moving along. And they're like, well, we can't go talk to the girl because this is Gabby's thing and we got all focused on the guys, you know? Yeah, like that was my first thought is those guys probably don't even think that's allowed. You know what I mean? For them to like walk over there and sit next to her.

Like if I was on a set, I wouldn't think I was allowed to do that. Well, yeah. And like if I was Rachel, I would probably say like if someone came over, I'd be like, this is really cute, but go back over there because like this isn't about us. It's about Gabby and like her guys right now. Play it cool or whatever. For whatever reason that like really annoyed me. Like really rubbed me the wrong way.

It wasn't great. The whole situation. This is what happens in Paradise too is I get a sad bastard at my bar and then they just sit there at the bar and they're just like always crying and sad and like their sadness like begets more sadness. Like it becomes snowballed.

And I feel like that's where Rachel is right now. She's like not allowing herself to get out of this sadness yeah and what's so crazy to me is i think she has way better connections than gabby does yeah like if she would take two seconds to stop complaining and whining and being insecure she's got like three solid phenomenal connections with guys that seem really great and really into her and i don't think i can say that for gabby dude but logan is going to fucking ruin i know he is and that's so fucking annoying but like if i were her i wouldn't give a fuck about logan because she's got tino she's got zach and now she's got tyler

who are all super attractive super obsessed with her and she's a great time with all of them who gives a fuck about logan let him go be with gabby honestly gabby needs a few other great guys because i don't think gabby has very great guys also we get it jesse you can speak french dude who knew who knew like like it's one thing to know a little french it's a whole nother thing to like use the the dialect. I can't even do it. What are you talking about? He's Canadian.

Of course he knows French. I mean, I guess. But, like, he just sounds like such, like, a typical, like, white American guy. I know he's Canadian, but, like, he doesn't – he just sounds, like, very – it's very unassuming. I just, like, was floored that he had not just the lingo down, but, like, the dialect. I know. He's good at it. I make the joke of, like, we get it. You, he's good at it. I make the joke of like,

we get it, you can speak French, but, and I say that out of jealousy, really. Like I- Well, yeah. I kind of wish I could do that. No wonder he bagged that hottie, because- Seriously.

My boys over here just fucking pep-a-pew-ing it up, you know? Okay, so- Oh, too good. So, can we just talk about Hayden for a second god hayden i first of all you're a liar if you say those things you gotta fucking own it because my boy they're gonna replay when you called them bitches he was like unequivocally did not say those things and rachel's like fuck i don't know what to think man like really i can't wait for them to play that back the men tell all because my you know what it's it pisses me off so bad because i hate liars but it's honestly so entertaining to watch someone sit there and watch themselves say i did not do that and then watch

the replay of when they did said thing yeah and then still continue to say, I did not do that. Oh, yeah. Oh, he'll double down. He'll be like, oh, I was talking about something else, you know, or whatever. Like, what? How? It's mind-blowing, but it's also so entertaining. The dog cancer story.

Here's the thing. Do you love your dog, Hayden? Because let me tell you something. If Carl the Bloodhound had fucking brain cancer, you best believe I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going on some TV show. No, I know. Can we wait until next season?

My dog's dying of cancer right now, and I kind of want to focus on that. Sure, great. You know, focus on that. But he's out here traveling around, going to France with Pepe Le Pew. It's a sad story, and I think a lot of us can relate. It is, and if it's true, it makes me so sad.

But I'm with you. I would have judged him so hard for even being there. I know. I love the miscommunication where she goes and pulls him after Meatball tells her everything. And she's like, do you know what I want to talk to you about? And he's like, I guess about my dog having cancer and you not caring about it. And she's like, what?

No. He's like, wait, what? What are you talking about? Wait, what are you talking about? It was such a perfect miscommunication thing. And then at the end god i wish i was the producer that was where he got him to be crying and be like i love rambo i love rambo and rambo loves me it's insane because of you know sir buster stallone yeah yeah yeah we get it yeah

i mean that's why it's funny i mean it's not it's funny but that guy. I have a question, though. What happens if you get dumped while the ship is at sail? Is it ever really at sail, or are they just floating around a bay so it looks like they're at sail? We're just stuck in Paris. And we're not even in the cool part of Paris. We're on a boat. Yeah. We're stuck in Paris. Yeah, so do you have to go down to the poop deck or the Lido deck and just like hang out?

Like, is there like a purgatory for the guys? I don't think they're going far enough to matter. You know what? You know what I want to see? I want to see one of them have to swim back to shore. Yeah. Or like getting a dinghy.

I want to see the next guy that gets sent home, have to walk the plank and have to swim all the way back that would be great actually the plank thing that i got a good idea it's genius yeah i really was not in love with this last episode yeah i think i can be honest about it yeah yeah all right is that enough uh batch talk i think so i think so you got some faith things bro or what i actually don't know i do yeah all right i'm i'm i watched uh i actually had 10 minutes left and didn't watch the end of it because i was falling asleep and i didn't want to miss it but i was catching up on blackbird last night yeah and you know you said your theory is that like the brother's the one doing all this shit yeah i just don't know because this guy is a

fucking creep. I know. Larry. Have you gotten to the scene where Larry, and I said this before I even saw this episode, but there's a scene where Larry goes and talks with his brother Greg. Yeah, I saw that. And he keeps on asking, he's like, what was her name?

What was her name? And he's like, don't worry about that. Yeah, I do remember that. And then he remembered the name. And they're in cahoots. I'm telling you. I think he has something to do with it. But I definitely do not think this Larry guy's innocent. I think that they're both doing it.

You do. You think they're both. I thought you were thinking the brother was doing it and Larry was taking the fall for him. No. I think that his brother is super smart and using Larry who's not as sharp as his... Scapegoat? Yeah. I could see that.

But like, man, some of these things Larry is saying to our homeboy Jimmy are just so fucking disturbing. It's a good show, man. If you guys haven't started watching Blackboard, get on it. It is one of the better shows I've seen in a very long time. Agreed. I did finish the newest season of Virgin River, which I know you're not watching because it is a girly type show. But someone tweeted something at

me that was a really great point. I think it was a tweet. Maybe it was an Instagram DM. I don't know. But somebody said, all right, we've seen four seasons of Charmaine being pregnant. She has not popped yet. Like four whole seasons of this chick being pregnant. And you know what? You're so right. And I didn't even think about it that way. Like what's the timeline on this show? Because it seems like everyone else's life is moving very quickly

and Charmaine's just been pregnant the whole time. So whoever sent me that message, great point. I did, yeah. That needs to, somebody needs to do better with her story because I'm sick of that shit. Do better. Do better.

Have you heard of The Resort? No. It's on Peacock. Peacock's coming out with some fire these days, by the way. Is Peacock popping off? Peacock is popping the fuck off. Okay. You would love this because it's a whodunit.

Ooh. It's Kristen Milioti. She was in Palm Springs. She's in a lot of stuff, an actress that I know you like. It's her and then William Jackson Harper who was in The Good Place. They're a couple who goes on a vacation

and then they kind of stumble across this mystery. Here's the tag. Exploring love and the weird things we do in the name of it, encased in an elaborate true crime conspiracy. The resort. It's about time. That's a terrible tag, by the way.

Horrible. These two characters, who are Emma and Noah, they go to Mexico. They go to Tulum for their 10-year anniversary or something like that. And their relationship's a little bit on the rocks or whatnot. You're not really sure if they're built to last, but they go ATVing, you know, as you do in Mexico. And Emma's character like crashes, like goes off the road and crashes, cracks her head open or whatever.

And when she comes to, she finds an old cell phone, like an old Razer cell phone. So then she goes and finds another old cell phone to be able to put like the sim card in and she starts on like figuring out who it was and then she starts googling it and you know it was like 10 years prior this kid named sam came to mexico with his with his parents and his girlfriend who's actually played by debbie ryan oh i'm gonna see Sierra's good friends. Mm-hmm. And so 10 years prior, this kid Sam like goes missing

with this other woman who like they're not connected. And then there's this huge like once in a generation hurricane that comes through and like wipes out everything. And then another, a dead body washed up on shore,

but it's not either Sam or this other girl, Violet. No one knows what happened. And so now emma has this phone and she's now going through all the clues and everything and they haven't they haven't kind of like alerted the police yet and they're kind of doing themselves and it's very good it's very whodunit you'd love it uh sounds great yeah The resort on Peacock. The resort. Fits the people who created Palm Springs and Mr. Robot. Oh, okay.

Yeah. Oh, I have such an amazing story. Oh. Okay. So I was on one of my daily runs, as I do, trying to tighten it up for the weds. Right. So I'm about a mile in running down the street and on the sidewalk I see a set of keys.

It's a car key and a house key. And I'm like, man, this is important. The Good Samaritan must come through. So I'm a little sweaty, shirt's off, you know,

glistening in the sun. And so where the key was dropped, there was a house right there. So I was was like maybe this is the house so i go up to the house bing bong nothing i'm sitting there like holding the key being like all right what's gonna happen like what do you do here all right bing bong nothing okay one last try so then i knock on the door finally this woman walks up it's like one of those kind of glass you can see through the through the door and she's like can i help you and she's got kind of like this like crazy blood eye you know like

like look like she had thrown up too hard and like broken a blood vessel in her eye you know but anyways i'm not here to judge you're here to be a hero hey i was running and i saw these keys are they yours and she goes yes and so door, she goes, just drop them right there. Drop them right there. And I'm like, bitch, you can't fucking open the door and fucking take these keys from me? Like, I'm being a good guy. And she's like, drop them right there. All right.

So I do the thing where, like, instead of put them down, almost like when you drop the mic, you know, you're like, put it out. And then you let it go while keeping eye contact and saying okay and in my mind what i'm saying is bitch i'm fucking helping you out this is not neighborly at all so then i start walking away thinking fuck this woman and she goes by the way i can't come outside we have covid in here oh shit what yeah it's great yeah you stay over there now i feel kind of bad you know like that i dropped it the way i did and she goes you know what you better do you should go wash your hands right now oh my god fuck i'm like i'm a mile away from home i can't go in their house to wash my hands they don't have any sanitizer just out so then i gotta run a mile back and now i can't touch anything. And you know, when you can't touch anything, you want to

touch everything, everything itches. So I'm running like a crazy person with my hands out like this. I got my AirPods in and you know, they are, they're always kind of slipping out. So I'm having to use my shoulder, like keeping it up. Oh God, I'm losing it. If it drops out, I can't pick it up. You know? Can't touch it then. Uh-huh. I get home, go in the house, wash my hands like I'm about to do fucking surgery. Elbow deep, just like, just sudsing up. And Sarah's like working out.

And I tell her the story. And I was like, oh, my God. And she's like, did you wash all the surfaces of which you've touched? Fuck, all the surfaces. What did I touch? And I got the gate door. I got the house door, all this stuff. And she goes, oh, and then we've also got this guy, Luis, who's a gentleman, a man who's like painting our bedroom. And she goes, you need to go tell Luis to go wash his hands.

Luis doesn't speak a whole lot of English. Okay. So, okay. So I go and I'm like, Luis. And he's like, yes, Mr. Wells. And I'm like, you got to wash your hands, man. I just touched some keys. I got COVID. And he goes, I touched nothing. And I'm like, no, no, yes, Mr. Wells. And I'm like, you got to wash your hands, man. I just touched some keys that got COVID in. And he goes, I touched nothing.

And I'm like, no, no, no, no. I know you might have touched the door handle. You got to go wash your hands. He goes, I touched nothing. And I'm like, no, just go wash your hands. And he goes, no, no, no, I'm clean. Fuck, Luis, go wash your hands, bro. You might have COVID.

And I know he's thinking, this crazy gringo over here is going. For sure. You know? So anyways, long story short, no good deed goes unpunished. You should never help anybody. That's bad advice. You see keys in the ground, let them stay there. Leave them there.

Yeah. Maybe once we're through COVID and monkey pox, then we can. The monkey pox thing is getting a little scary. It's getting out there, isn't it? It's getting a little scary. Have you seen what monkey pox looks like? Yeah, that's why I'm saying it's getting a little scary. Have you seen what monkeypox looks like? Yeah, that's why I'm saying it's getting a little scary. Dude.

God is like, hey, everyone, don't leave anymore. Don't. You can't go and do anything. You did too much socializing. You need to stop. I guess so. CrazyTown, USA. Freaking wild.

If there was ever a place to get COVID, it was at the WWE SummerSlam that I was just at. Did you see my boy The Miz? The The Miz who's that and who's you have a boy at WWE The Miz he was on Real World a long time ago and now he's The Miz and he is a like one of the big names he always fights like Logan Paul oh I did see Logan Paul yeah so did you see then you saw The Miz oh maybe okay listen there was a lot to take in at this thing yeah i don't know one thing about wrestling not one not one thing about wwe not wrestling i don't know anything about mma i don't know anything about fighting i don't know anything about anything the one thing that you need to know about wrestling is that it's 100 real here's wrestling might be real but this was not no and okay so i go into this like i know

nothing and you know they invite me to this event and they really want me to go and i'm thinking like i don't have anything better i can do but i didn't have anything better to do so i was like you know what i'll just go and i thought it was no big deal whatever show up it's a very big deal it's at nissan stadium it packed. People have been there all day. They are dressed up. They're carrying belts. The entire Tennessee Titans football team is there, front row. And they're not just there. They're not just there. They're there and they're enthralled. They are acting like this is the highlight of their lives to see this show live. Dwight Howard sat next to me on my right with his kid. Like

he's there. He's got a belt on his shoulder. Big fan. Brian Kelly, you know, good friend of mine, his wife, Brittany, are on my left. And like, I'm like, all these people are coming out for this. Like I am mind blown. And I was told before I got there that it's it's like fake, that it's like not real. Yeah. You know, so I did know that it was going to be mostly a show, but I didn't realize the level of theatrics. Oh, yeah. You're telling me that all these people, including all of these very talented professional athletes, are so enthralled watching a sport that's not real, that it's the highest grossing sport in the States. They have the most TikTok followers of any other sports account.

You're telling me that WWE, that is not real, is the biggest sport in the country. Yeah, that's the most American thing in the world, by the way. It's crazy. The most American thing in the world is our biggest sport isn't even a real one. It's not real.

It's completely scripted and choreographed. I mean, they do get hurt or whatever. I mean, yeah, don't get me wrong. It looked very physical. Yeah, WWE is like wrestling, just like monster truck is like driving. Oh, yeah, you're right. That's a good analogy.

It's kind of like that, but not really. Yeah, it's total theatrics, though. You're right. That's a good analogy. It's kind of like that, but not really. Yeah, it's total theatrics, though. It's crazy. And these dudes are jumping up. Oh! Like, they are pumped for stuff that's not even real. Well, think about it. Some of our biggest actors right now were WWE people.

I mean, The Rock. I mean, yeah, The Rock. John Cena, the guy that's in Guardians of the Galaxy. It was, I mean, The Rock. I mean, yeah, The Rock. John Cena, the guy that's in Guardians of the Galaxy. It's crazy town. If you ever get a chance to go to one of these things, I highly recommend. I've been to one. Highly recommend.

When I was a teenager. No, I know. And so my boy The Miz is like one of the main guys. I interviewed him on my other show a long time ago, and then we were members of the same golf club. So I've hung out with him a bunch. Great guy. So funny.

The Miz. It was hilarious. I got to say, I think WWE might be the theme for my Halloween this year. Ooh, all right. Right? It's like a pretty good one. Who are you going to be? I don't know yet, but I almost thought it'd be more fun because I have this crew of friends we just all we do every halloween together whatever like if i play gig

they come last year we did space jam this year i was like oh we should wwe and i almost think it'd be more fun to just create my own character than it would be to like be one that already exists right like i think that sounds kind of fun yeah to create my like own wwe alter ego you need a catchphrase i need all the things so if you guys have any ideas character names catchphrases outfit inspo send them my way well i think you're the mule day queen for sure and i think your catchphrase needs to be you're hilarious don't ever threat me with a callback it'll always happen that's so funny good times let me ask you some how do you feel about the replying to people's texts with the like quick reply like the thumbs up

thumbs down heart exclamation point, ha ha. You know, there's the four things that you can do. How do you feel about the reply that it's very, very convenient, but is it come across as flippant? Like I don't have time for you that I'm just going to use the thumbs up thing. Yeah. I think the thumbs up one bothers me the most. Yeah. Yeah. I am guilty of using the heart a lot yeah uh and the haha but the thumbs up really rubbed me the wrong way i know i know sort of why i have tears out there think thumbs up thumbs down is that good uh texting etiquette or is it a little pompous i only think the thumbs down is warranted on like something that's funny.

Like I'm trying to think of an example, but like, I don't think you should ever use the thumbs down to actually mean you dislike it. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I understand. But what, what if it's like, Hey, be there in 20 thumbs up. Anytime that I think the thumbs up is like the correct response. I still heard it instead. Cause the thumbs up, I just, I don't like it. Yeah. thumbs up is like the correct response I still heart it instead because the thumbs up I just I don't like it yeah but heart is like something you love thumbs up I know but to me it's just like oh saw it okay great love ya goodbye huh all right I just I just every time someone thumbs ups me it just comes off cold I don't know yeah I know that's that's why I was asking the question love note the why of tears out there think. The other thing that really bothers me,

my manager does this a lot. He responds with KK instead of okay. What is fucking KK? I don't even know what that is. I know what okay is, but I don't know what KK is. And you're just one K short of not a good K. Not a great,

I think that's why people add the second one because like the first one just seems really we're just scared of that letter yeah it just seems very like blunt k what about okay i say okay yeah but kk what does kk mean kk kk kk means k but i'm too i just i'm people pleaser and i want you to like me, so I'll add a second K. That's what it is. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, okay. I finished Upgrade, Blake Crouch book.

And? Not one of my favorites of his. Oh, no. It's good, though. It's very good. It's just not Dark Matter and it's just not Recursion. Those books just floored me. I know. They were so good. It's just not Dark Matter and it's just not Recursion. Like those books like just floored me. I know.

They were so good. But this one's cool. It has to do more with like gene manipulation. Okay. Than time travel or parallel universes and stuff. But it's good. And I can totally see it being a movie for sure. Oh, all right.

Yeah. But you know what? I didn't realize that he's got a lot of other books from like way back in the day. I'm about to go on a Blake Crouch excursion. Did you ever read the Wayward Pines trilogy? No. Oh, it's so good. Did you watch the show?

No. Oh, what? What is that? You're really missing out. Okay. So he wrote the Wayward Pines trilogy. I think the first one is called Wayward. I've read all of them, but then they turned it into a show for, I can't remember if it's FX, but somebody did a couple seasons of it. And the show is good, but the books are so great. Highly

recommend. I can't believe you haven't seen or read those. Well, I'm going to get on it. They're very good. By the way so i saw a wife here like message me or tweet me or whatever being like how have you not talked about challenge usa and that's a that's all me that's a that's a my bad because sarah and i have been watching the challenge usa but here's the thing like at first i was a little adverse to it because it doesn't have the people that i need doesn't have johnny bananas doesn't have wes let's see i can't have feelings for new people. Alright, like I have my challenge

guys. But I'll tell you what, Challenge USA is pretty great and there's a new guy named Tyson who is from Survivor who's just beating the shit out of everybody and I love it. And he like knows, he's like a triathlete, world class cyclist. He's

wiry, built like a string bean, and he's just beating the shit out of everybody. And he knows better. He's talking shit. And I love him. Alright? But I need Wes, and I need bananas in there. But it's pretty good. Have you seen this on TikTok where

it's called geo-guessing, where these guys will, like, look at a picture and be like, oh yeah, that's gonna be in Siberia. It's like geo-guessing where these guys will like look at a picture and be like, oh, yeah, that's going to be in Siberia. It's like a game where like they go against people. I have not seen this. You haven't seen this? No. It's like a whole thing.

I mean, my TikTok is just algorithms is weird. But like these people, it's like a whole community where like they'll see a picture and then they'll guess where it is in the world. And they go up against people and whoever gets closer gets more points and all this stuff and these people are so good at it but also why why are you good at this and how did you even get good at it and how did it even become a thing you know like it doesn't even make any sense like where do you go to learn about this and they'll be like oh yeah that license plate means it's definitely in british columbia and you're like what the telephone poles the writing on the telephone poles you obviously know that's fucking chilly and you're like what why are you using your brain power on this go solve fucking cancer why do you know this

this is crazy town that's wild ge. Geoguessing, dude. But also good for you. That's a talent, I suppose. It's a talent, yeah. While we're on the topic of TikTok, I would just like to say that Selena Gomez and Jenna Dewantatum recently did a TikTok video that I did months ago. Yeah. And I would just like to say that I was way ahead of the curve,

and they are late to the party. Well, the whole thing about TikTok is that you're just copying everybody else i know but like i copied way long time ago i was like way ahead of it like you guys are late yeah but if jenna is involved then that means they're probably they're dancing is probably better i don't know it wasn't dancing it was the do you guys think that men think oh yeah yeah but also i saw you do that but i saw someone else do that long before you did it. Well, I took it directly from the original girl. That's good. Because that's what you do.

Yeah. But I did that two months ago, and now all of a sudden, you know, all these famous girls are doing it, and I'm like, I did it first. Yeah, well, you should have. Well, I did it second. Yeah, you did it second. You should have asked Selena and Jenna If they wanted to do it with you I don't know them I know Jenna

I danced with her once Oh boy here we go It wasn't good It was not a good look for me I'm not surprised So everyone knows this song Sorry I did do this on my Instagram But I'm doing it now for the YFT years Everyone knows this song There Sorry, I did do this on my Instagram, but I'm doing it now for the YFT years.

Everyone knows this song. There's nothing I can do. I've been looking like I can't do. Great song. Who the Blowfish, Darius Rucker. One of their best songs ever. It's got 129 million

streams on Spotify. We all know it. We all love it. Great song. Right? Mm-hmm. And I was listening to it the other day because I was playing golf and I was listening to my 90s playlist, which, by the way, 90s rock.

Fucking, I'm old, but whatever. That playlist on Spotify slaps, bro. Slaps. So I was listening to... That line right there always confused me. I'm such a baby because the dolphins make me cry. Now, listen, I get it. Lyrics are just whatever sometimes, but it's very confusing.

I'm such a baby cause the dolphins make me cry. Like, did you go to SeaWorld one day, Darius Rucker, and like have a moment with a dolphin? That's what I think. I think I've always been like, are you like a big proponent of like saving the dolphins? Are the dolphins in danger that I don't know about?

Like, is there? Maybe they're just so magical. It makes them get teary. The magic and. Yeah. But I've always been like, that's such a fucking weird lyric. So much so that I think about it and I was thinking about it. I was like, what could he be possibly fucking talking about here?

Like, what happened to you at 13 at SeaWorld, Darius Drucker? I must know. And then I realized that he's from the South, and I think he's talking about the Miami Dolphins, the football team. It's a stretch. So for Pokemon 25, Post Malone recorded this song. I was going to tell you that.

I listen to it a lot. Do you like it? I do. All right. Nice and happy. Feel good. I'm driving. Sometimes you're crazy And you wonder why

I'm such a baby Cause the cowboys make me cry Oh my gosh And he's from Texas So that makes sense The cowboys make him cry That does make sense Wow

So I cracked the code You did? I'm impressed Yeah I know I'm really impressed. Anyways. I love Posty.

He's the best. Speaking of music, do you have any music or what's going on there? I don't think so. I've got some. What do you have? I've got some good stuff. This is a band called Thumpasaurus, which, great band name.

This is a song called Struttin'. I'm food, cause struts are fun. Having a strutty don't cost a dollar. Take my dog, don't forget to call. But I'm the dog, and I like his smell. Can't help it, if you strut so well. And then, baby, you got a head start. Strutting your way into my heart.

Take your hat off, make yourself at home. Have a steady night, and strut on home. Day one, I like that song. It's something. I like that song. It's something. A lot goes to. I like that song. It's something.

A lot goes to. And then the other one I heard that like, it's just so good that like, I heard this on my bachelor party and I'm sure I'm late to it. I know I am. It's just the funniest fucking song. And it's Trey Lewis and the song's called Dick Down in Dallas. Have you heard this song? Oh, wow. I don't think so. She left me all alone in Montgomery tonight.

She's getting dick down in Dallas, real out of mind. Tag-tamed up in Tennessee. Hang on and I'll... Tag-tamed up in Tennessee Hang on in Austin Tag-tamed up in Boston Get your neck down in New Orleans Put me through hell Fuckin' someone else Now I'm the one on my knees

Prayin' she'll come back Give me that sweet ass But I already know that she's Gettin' dick down in Dallas. Wow. It's pretty great. It's something. It's obviously not serious, but it's pretty fucking great. Yeah, it can't be.

Although country music wouldn't shock me. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, Trey Lewis wrote a hit yeah i was on tiktok and i was watching this guy and the guy was like talking about how like every year you should go you should fast for a couple days just like really good for you nah your boy did it for about fucking 18 hours and i thought i was gonna die and i know that's so like champagne problems or whatever and like the people who there are actually hungry people out there. But it was so hard to do.
