Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - A Series of Influencer Problems

Episode Date: May 19, 2021

Brandi’s back, baby, and Wells has lots to tell her. Of most notable importance, he went to a baseball game again and ate a really cool hotdog, and this revelation somehow takes up a whole 20 minutes of the show. He additionally has a few things to say about TikTok, and we’re wondering if that should be a new segment? Let us know your thoughts. And, Wells shockingly takes advantage of Brand-eye’s last name to secure himself some tickets to BottleRock. Also on today’s itinerary, your hosts take a deep dive down the rabbit hole of Instagram pettiness. In case you had any doubts, Wells is max-petty. He has some choice words for Mr. Jason Tartick after getting a ring that outdid all of Bachelor Nation. The hosts then share a solid list of fave things, and we learn that Apple won’t let bad guys use iPhones in movies. Who knew?! Lastly, Vern joins us to finish out the show, and Wells and Brandi consider moving to Idaho. Anyone have an extra couch?  Thanks to our awesome sponsors for making this episode possible!

Shut the front door.

You and TikTok. What's the hack? Dude, TikTok's teaching me a lot about life, all right? Okay, so your blender. Yeah. It's kind of a pain in the ass to like make just one smoothie, you know, because then you got to clean the entire blender thing. Did you know that you can take a Mason jar, you can unscrew the bottom of your blender and you can put all the things in the Mason jar and then put the blade on the rim of

the Mason jar and then screw on the thing and then put that on the blender and do it. And it'll just, it'll do it in the Mason jar jar like all blenders or like a specific blender i think all blenders i went and tried it on my blender it worked on my blender what do you got fucking i don't know the a fancy ass vitamix is that what you have no no we do have one of those and i hate that thing i hate that thing so everyone loves that thing i hate that thing so much no it's like a normal i've got got a ninja. You got a ninja? Okay, so then you have a fancy one. No. I'm talking like from Target.

You make margaritas in. Is it like a normal like pitcher blender? Yeah. Yeah, dude, I'm telling you. Go get a mason jar and you can just do like single serving blenders. Okay, but isn't that the blend jet that's in your hand basically?

Yes, it is. It absolutely is. But if you don't want to buy a blend jet, which you should because they're great, add is but if you don't want to buy a blend jet which you should because they're great add but if you don't and you just want to use your blender you can do that i do love this blend jet though i use it all the time um did you see what i tweeted to you yeah about bottle rock yeah your sister's playing it let's let's go okay i'll go. But Bottle Rock is in Napa, and my dad's got a house up in wine country. What?

You didn't know that? No. Yeah. What are you talking about? I've talked about it. We make our own wine. We have Adam's Wine. Right.

I've never even been to Napa. Oh. Let's go. Guns N' Roses, Stevie Nicks, Foo Fighters, Miley Cyrus. I'm in. I'm in. Sign me up. Let's go. And you know your sister's gonna

Yeah, you're probably right.

Yeah. She's no Foo Fighters. Okay? She's no dead girl. I mean, like, let's be fair. He was in Nirvana. No, I know. He's amazing.

And Stevie Nicks, you know, she was the best part of Fleetwood Mac, but, you know. Uh-huh. So I'm saying Miley Cyrus is second most important. Let's be fair. Guns N' Roses hasn't been good since like 89. So I'm thinking we can get some pretty good tickets. You're right. We can.

I'll hook it up. Yes. Now we're cooking with gas, baby. Will Sarah come too or just you? Well, if she's not working, then yeah, let's go. Okay, I'll reserve two tickets for you. How about that? Okay, thank you.

It can be your birthday present because I obviously didn't get you one. Of course not. It's fine. You know who else is playing? Cage the Elephant. Oh, yeah, you love them. Boy, I mean, they're the best. Portugal the Man, Young the Giant, Brandi Carlile. I mean, fucking A, yeah. You love them. I mean, they're the best. Portugal the Man, Young the Giant, Brandi Carlile.

I mean, fucking A, dude. We're back, baby. We are back. I'm feeling so fucking jazzed. I went to a Dodger game two nights ago. I saw that. Did you have a Dodger dog? Yes.

Oh, and by the way, I have notes on that. So I haven't been to a fucking Dodger game in a very long time. But listen to this. No one cares. Only women listen to this podcast. But if you do care about baseball, these are the Dodger games that I've gone to. I went to game six of the World Series where they lost. Okay. I went to a game against the Chicago Cubs when Arietta threw a no-no. What's a no-no exactly? A no-hitter, which like very rarely happens. Oh, I see. And then I went the other night and they were playing the Houston Astros or whatever. And your boy caught a ball.

You did? Did you not see my fucking picture? Yeah, but I don't know. I just thought you like had a random baseball. I don't know. I didn't read the caption. The caption said, I went to a Dodgers game for my birthday and I caught a ball. Looks like it's going to be a good year.

Who reads captions anymore? That's sad because like the best part of my pictures are my captions. Like that's where I really thrive. I just scroll and double tap, scroll and double tap, you know. When it comes to Instagram likes, are you petty? Are there people that you follow that you don't really love but you have to kind of follow them because whatever and you don't like their shit because

you see it and you don't like it because you're like, I don't want them to get more likes. Well, I'm just super stingy with likes. Are you? Because I work really hard to deliver diamond status content at all times. So when I see some fucking content that's like bronze status, I'm not gonna like

that dude okay i feel that harder do better this is so unrelatable but i try to like everyone's ads because hey listen yeah i do too you know rising tide raises all ships guys we all need those likes yeah respect the hustle respect the game we all need to get that money we all need to get paid but here's and i feel like i feel like the pop, like most like everybody else is just so like against ads, like followers are like, dude, this is an ad. You don't even really like this. And I just this is a good topic. Actually, my friend Kiki, she got she's a travel blogger and she recently did a post about this. She was like, I don't think you guys really understand like how Instagram ads work. Um, but like for her, she was saying for her and I'm kind of the same, it's like, I would never like do an ad and promote

something that I didn't, that I disliked. You know what I mean? Like I would never just do something for money. Like if I don't, a lot of times, like I reach out to brands where I already use their stuff and say, Hey, would you guys like to do a collaboration? You know what I mean? Like, it's not always just like, it's not just shit you wouldn't use or don't use or don't like that you're just promoting, at least for me. I am very generous with my likes. Okay. I'm not like you.

This is so petty, but it's true. Like I go and I look to see who's liked my shit. No, you do not. Yeah, because if you're not giving me likes, you're getting unfollowed. Okay? Oh my gosh. That is really petty. Yeah.

You know who's about to get unfollowed by me? Who? I'm going to fucking name names. Christina. Christina follows me, but she doesn't like anything of mine. Cut her. Now I'm on a little bit of a embargo. I'm not liking any of her pictures because she's not liking any of my pictures, which is rude because I thought

we were friends and I've given her great advice behind the bar and I've wanted nothing but great things for her. And she's not giving me any likes. She's very, very close, very close to getting cut. That's all I'm saying. So fucking Christina, christina if you're listening get your shit together okay oh there's a few people that i follow yeah that i haven't seen in years but i have i mute them because i know if i if i hit the unfollow button they're gonna call me out on it because they're petty like you and like go through that shit. You know what I mean? Like I just, it blows my mind that people like realize that someone's unfollowed you. Like I would never, if you unfollowed me, Wells, I would never even know. Yeah, I know. Which is good because I unfollowed you long ago. But there's a few people that I like, I feel like if I unfollowed them, like two seconds later,

I'd get a text. Why do you unfollow me? Do you hate me? And I just can't deal with that confrontation. So I just mute. Yeah. I have a rule. This is my rule on social media. If I haven't texted with you in the past six months, I can unfollow you. Yeah. You know, like if you don't text me regularly or not even regularly in the past six months, we're done. We're done. It's OK. We're not friends. It's OK that we're not friends.

That's it. I told Mike from, you know, like Mike from The Bachelor, that rule. Hot Mike? Yeah, Hot Mike. I told Hot Mike that rule. Like that's how his nickname now. He's hot. I think he's got a reminder on his phone of like

remind me to text wells today it's been six months that's good start the show no i'm not finished with my dodger story oh we're 17 minutes in so i was just saying okay let's start the show and then I'll get into my Dodger story. Is it you or me? I think it's me. Go for it. Bros and hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with... Wells and Brandy. Going to a music festival near you soon.

September. It's really soon. So we are back, baby. We are fucking back, baby. I'm so excited. And I just can't hide. I went to a Dodger back, baby. We are fucking back, baby. I'm so excited. And I just can't hide. I went to a Dodger game, bro. And here's the thing.

I'm fully vaxxed and relaxed. I feel great. All right. I go to this Dodger game. By the way, didn't know until recently, Gators are out, guys. People are not into the Gator. Is that a team?

No, like, you know, it's like the neck mask that you can pull up. Oh, that kind of gator. So when I was flying to Mexico, I had my surgical mask on and then my gator over it. Security person was like, you can have their gator on, but your mask needs to be over it. And I was like, what do you mean? I was like, I have my mask on. I just have my gator over it. They're like, no, no, no, no. You need to have your mask can be over the gator, but you can't have it the way it is. And I was like, uh, okay.

So then I just pulled down my gator and I was like, is this fine? And she's like, yeah, that's fine. And I was like, that makes zero sense. Like there now is less protection, but I guess, I guess you could put the gator on that then you could pull your mask down. I don't know. Yes. And then they can't see it. Anyways, I guess gators are out. Because I went to the Dodger game, I had my gator on.

They're like, no, no, no, no. And I first saw this, so I brought another mask. And I was like, I got this one. They're like, all right, go for it. So anyways, go into the Dodger game, everyone's mask. And then if you get like a tall boy or a modelo or get a Dodger dog, you're saying you can take your mask off. And so that was great.

Here's the thing that I thought was really cool about the Dodgers. And I hope that like a lot of a lot of listen, you can feel the way you want about vaccines. I don't really give a shit. These are my thoughts. They had vaccine sections. Did you know that? Oh, no, I didn't. So at the Dodger game, obviously, it's like one third occupancy, right?

It was like 16,000 people. I think that place holds, you know, 60,000 people, whatever it is. But they had vaccine sections. So like where we were was not a vaccine section. So like the closest people had to be like 10 feet away from us or like seven seats. So like, it's just like kind of clusters of people. But in the vaccine section, fucking dense as fuck. Because they said-

No way. Yeah, so they showed their vaccine they can go and sit all together and be totally vaxxed and relaxed and i was like that's a really good way to incentivize people to get the vaccines because it's hard as fuck to get into dodger games there's only one third of the tickets available dare i say i'd rather sit in the area where there's no one next to me for seven seats then i'd have all kinds of space. That's true. But like, there is... I mean, we're trying to get back to like full occupancy so like everyone can make money.

But also there is some sort of like camaraderie and, you know, togetherness that you feel when you're all like, yeah, you know. For sure. I'm going to share with you my favorite baseball game to play, everybody. Because baseball is boring. Listen, I don't care.

It's so boring. It's so fucking boring. And listen, sorry if you're a big baseball fan, but it's true. It's just slow and boring. It's only really exciting when like, you know, like there's a grand slam or a home run or some like crazy double play.

And for the most part, then it's just kind of like you're like, oh, it's a walk, oh, it's a ground out, whatever. There's a game called Pass the Cup, okay? Have I told you about Pass the Cup? I don't think so. Sounds like a gross like porn movie, but it's not. That's three girls in one cup.

And gross. Like how did that? Oh, God. So Pass the Cup. So let's say you're with four of your buddies, right? Someone on the far like right or whatever has the cup. Everyone puts in a dollar. Okay.

Now you can get all the money from the cup if a run scores. Okay? So you want... If you're holding it? If you're holding the cup and someone hits a home run, you get all the money in the cup.

Okay? Got it. Uh-huh. If there is an out, you have to pass the cup. And when you pass the cup, you got to put another dollar in. Okay?

Oh, okay. So, you know, there could be like seven outs in a row and all of a sudden the cup's worth, you know, whatever, $15 or, okay. So, you know, there could be like seven outs in a row and all of a sudden the cup's worth, you know, whatever, $15 or something. And then, you know, there's a home run or something and then you get all the money in the cup. And then once that happens, then everyone puts back in dollar and then goes back down

to four. Right. So it makes pretty good. So it makes you be like, oh no, it's an out. Cause it gets the pass that like, you know, normally you'd be like, okay, there's another out, whatever. But like, it makes you into the game and it's not a very expensive it's incentivized excitement you realize that like in three outs it's your cup and then you know you can look at the scoreboard

and see who's up and like you're like fuck in three outs i get the pitcher like the pitcher sucks at batting like fuck i'm not gonna get the I like that. That's a good idea. Yeah, yeah.

get like it's very kind of like phallic or whatever but you gotta kind of like bite the ends off of you know both sides now you have two options when you go to a dodger stadium for a dodger dog you have a dodger dog and then you have this super Dodger dog. And in my mind, I'm thinking, well, the super Dodger dog sounds better because it's super. No, it's not. The super Dodger dog is the exact same as the regular Dodger dog, except one glaring difference. Like I was thinking I'm going to get onions and relish and hot peppers and like, they're going to fuck this thing up, man. It's going to be like be like it's gonna be like come into play super dodger dog no it's still just dog and bun but here's the difference it's all beef in comparison to pork and beef which by the way if i'm fucking making the life decision to have a hot dog i have already thrown out health out the window. All right. Don't church it up with all beef dog.

All right. I want the shitty make me fat thing. You know, like we're already going down this long, lonesome road of being fat. Why are you trying to church it up for me a little bit? No, it should be the other way around. The super Dodger dog should be the fatty pork one. Okay. Not the all beef one.

Just for the record, I want the all beef hot dog. You do? Yeah. I don all beef one. Just for the record, I want the all beef hot dog. You do? Yeah, I don't eat pork. So I got the super Dodger dog, made the mistake because I didn't know. I thought I was getting like more cool shit. Didn't. My brother did the exact same thing. I would have also thought that.

Yeah. And then my brother did the exact same thing. I was like, what's the difference? And then my buddy Juan was like, oh, it's all beef. And we're like, fuck. So then he was like, hold on a second. So then he went and got regular Dodger dogs. And so we got to have a taste test.

Now, I will say that the regular Dodger dog, it's not as thick, you know? It's not as engorged, you know? It's not packed as much heat, but it's so much better just in terms of taste, you know? So if you're going to go to the Dodger game and you don't care about being a fatty McButterpants like me,

just get the Reg Dodger dog. And it's cheaper. The Reg. The Reg Dodger dog. Okay. Well, we've done 30 minutes on Dodgers, so that's cool. Yeah, I know. And blenders. Speaking of TikTok, okay?

TikTok. I don't know how to tell TikTok this. I don't give a fuck about cryptocurrency, okay? I don't care. I don't- They talk about crypto on TikTok? I'm getting like nothing but fucking cryptocurrency TikTok information, and I don't want to know about it because I-

I do. Maybe I should get on there. You should. I don't understand it. I don't want to know about it because I do. Maybe I should get on there. You should. I don't understand it. I don't understand Dogecoin. I don't understand Bitcoin. I don't understand. Send it to the moon.

I don't care. I want real money. Okay. And I know I'm stupid and I should invest in it, but I don't understand it. Stop. Stop telling me about TikTok. I don't care. All right.

Go back to the funny videos. That's what I want. Wow that's fair but i do think you should invest in crypto you know we should do we should we should tell our producers that like we should take half of what we normally get for this show we should put it into crypto and then we wouldn't even know and then like in like a couple years we're like billionaires and we didn't even know about it see i'm telling you that could happen i know i see someone to do a form because i don't know what's going on uh-huh we gotta uh we can who we should talk to is jason yeah jason he knows jason's like super into finance i bet he knows and you know what it looks like he's doing

well with his finance because that ring got caitlin is fucking what's going on, bro? I thought- Massive. Jason, kindly go fuck yourself because you don't need to do what you did, okay? You don't need to do what you did because you went against guy code. Jordan and I, Jordan Rogers and I, we had a code. We weren't going to outdo one another with rings, okay? We weren't going to do it, all right? It's not a fucking pissing contest. Not a

big dick contest over here, alright? We decided on the size and we said that's it. And then fucking Jason didn't consult with us and then he had to go a little bit bigger. Okay? And then of course now I look

like an asshole it's so good no i am happy for them here's the thing i think it's i was telling sierra this i think it's the same size as yours it's just that one's the same size but it's very thick you know it's very it's like a chode you very thick. It's like a chode, you know? So like a bigger one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it's the same size. All right.

It's a little thicker. Oh, man. Yeah, I'm happy for them. And it looks like they're just like living their lives. They're like in the Bahamas or something right afterwards. Cabo. They're in Cabo? They went to Cabo, yeah.

Yeah. Good for them. Yeah, they're living. You got some fave things, bro? Some fave things, bro. Handmaid's Tale is really coming through this season. I've been gone, so I caught up last night, and the past two episodes have just been so freaking good. And this last one was like, I don't want to ruin it for anybody, but like they keep calling it Mayday. I don't really know who Mayday is, but I understand Mayday is like going against Gilead or whatever. So she's been trying to find Mayday to like rebel against Gilead. Like, and most people just want to get out, but like she doesn't, she wants to like fight them or something, which is nuts, but like go June, you know? Um, so she's like trying

to find Mayday. And then all of a sudden at the end of the last night's episode she runs into somebody and it's like not who i expected at all like the least person i would expect for her to run into and i just can't wait for next week oh all right i like it we talked about this last episode with derek but i finished jupiter's legacy and I absolutely loved it like because Derek had finished it and I was only like on episode three or four or something so I didn't I wasn't really sure I was liking what I was seeing but I wasn't sure but after I finished it like I loved this whole like kind of go back in time and explain why they're superheroes storyline that I absolutely fucking loved I loved it more than like the actual superhero stuff,

which is interesting. Cause normally I think I would, it would be the other way around. So fucking good. And then the way the season ends, you're like, okay, obviously we need a season two.

Cause like we didn't resolve anything, which is kind of annoying, but then also exciting. Cause you're not like, yes, fuck. Yes. Josh Dumal,

Dumel. How the fuck you say your name? He's hot. He's the main character. Oh, nice. He's likeamel. Duhamel. How the fuck you say your name? He's hot. He's the main character. Oh, nice. He's like Superman in it. Okay. Watch it.

But you got to get through like a couple episodes to really kind of like get rooted in into the whole thing. It's fantastic. Fantastic. I do want to watch it. It looks good. I started watching a new show with, God get tophor grace and adam brody mixed up what how i feel like they came from like the same time they were on similar shows i feel like they were both funny team adam brody myself but oh it's from 2016 no way dude 2016? No way, dude.

I thought this shit was fucking brand spanking new and I was on some new hot shit. What is it? Okay, so it's called Startup and it's got Adam Brody, you know, Seth Cohen from the OC. Totally thought this was fucking brand new, but it's from 2016. And there's three seasons. Holy shit, man. Here's three seasons. Holy shit, man. Here's the tag. A desperate banker, a Haitian-American ganglord, and a Cuban-American hacker are forced to work together to unwittingly create their version of the American dream. Organized crime 2.0.

It's awesome. Like, Adam Brody is like this finance guy whose father's a piece of shit basically his dad wants him to like help him launder some money and then yeah there's like a hacker girl that's like actually trying to do cryptocurrency but like it's gets like brought in phil rask who like he's known for being like the hobbit and stuff um he like actually plays bilbo in the hobbit he's like the fbi agent that's like taking down all of these criminals but he's blackmailing them and extorting them for money so he's also bad anyways it's on netflix thought it was brand new apparently not from 2016 but it's really good that's insane insane. So anyway, Startup, Netflix, go check it out.

Love Adam Brody, that's all you know. Have you been watching Mayor of Easttown at all? No, I haven't. It's so good, isn't it? It is so good. I've had a lot of YFTers hit me up and say that they think it's getting a little slow and so i was catching up last night because i had missed a couple episodes here's the thing i think the whole show is like a tad slow but not i don't think it's in a bad way i just think i think the acting is really great and i think that they really take their time on like character development to me like i don't mind that it's a little bit slower paced as long as there's a payoff right and like something crazy happens at the end there was a new episode last night which i didn't stay up late enough to watch so i haven't seen that but up until then so they did reveal like a like a

they revealed something in the last episode i saw which which like got me back into it a little more i was kind of like oh okay so there's the girl, the dead girl that they found like in the creek or whatever. Basically, like this whole thing has been like, who's her baby's dad? Because like the young kid that you thought was the baby's dad, they've come out and said like, he's not the dad. And so they're speculating like who it is. So they did a DNA test to like confirm this kid's not the dad. So now it's like, well, who the frick is the baby's dad?

You know what I mean? It's like, that's kind of the thing right now and then like then they revealed this other thing like at the end of the last episode like a kind of a twist that you're you kind of thought like somebody was long gone and now like all of a sudden they're back it's like I think it's good like to me it's still keeping my attention I'm obsessed with Kate Winslet like upset I mean I think she's amazing and it's it's funny because the show is so serious, right? It's like a crime drama. But like there's certain lines that she delivers that are so freaking funny to me. Like she is just hysterical. So I love it. I don't know.

There's some people hating on it, but I'm sticking with it. I think it's good. I didn't know people were hating on it. I've heard nothing but good things. So yeah, I'm into it. I haven't finished, but I am still doing Shadow and Bone, Rag and Bone Man. I love this show. I love it. It's so good. I don't want to ruin anything, but like Ben Barnes, he was in Westworld.

Oh. He was like the younger version of the man in black, like really good looking dude. And like in the beginning, I was like, he's a bad guy. He's a bad guy. Like immediately, that's a bad guy. And I'm now at the point where it's like, duh, he's a bad guy. How does everyone not know? He's all fucking dressing all black all the time.

And his power is he like brings in this like black smoke, turns off the lights. Bad guy. Anyways, Shadow and Bone Man. Shadow and Bone, Rag and Bone Man. Fucking summon your light. Really, really good. Did you stick with the nevers or no? I kept watching and

i need to catch up okay i saw that the finale aired last night i think so i was like i was like i wonder if wells is still watching that because i haven't started it i was kind of curious to see like if you thought it was worth watching after you'd gotten into it yeah i'll finish it i do think it's worth watching it's cool but i also think that like shadow and bone is a kind of a similar thing and better i don't know what i think is better let me finish the nevers and shadow and bone and i'll come back to you on that okay i think they're both equally good but like if you can only have if there's only enough room in your heart for like one fantasy right now then i feel like there's a lot of fantasy out there right now isn't that jupiter show also

fantasy yeah well it's like superheroes and you know what i and derek and i were talking about this i think because our world is so fucked up right now that everyone wants an escape yeah you know and that yeah it gives it to you you know true i was to ask you, have you seen that movie on HBO Max that Angelina Jolie is in? No. I want to see it so bad. It's called Those Who Wish Me Dead. I think it's like in theaters, but also streaming. Yeah, in theaters and on. See, this is the new thing they're doing. It is in theaters, but it's also streaming on HBO Max, which is tight. A teenage murder witness finds herself pursued by twin assassins in the Montana wilderness with a survival expert tasked to protect him and a forest fire threatening to consume them all. Jesus Christ. A lot of shit's happening in this.

A lot of shit's happening. I'm watching that tonight. Looks so good. All right. Angelina, still so hot. So hot. On the plane to Mexico, I watched News of the World. Tom Hanks.

It's like a Western. I don't think I've heard of that. A Civil War veteran agrees to deliver a girl taken by the Kiowa people years ago to her aunt and uncle against her will. They travel hundreds of miles and face grave dangers as they search for a place that either can call home. News of the world. It's actually fucking pretty dope. Tom Hanks in a Western, I was like, okay, I'm listening, but also a little wary.

Tom Hanks' character is basically like the first edition of a news anchor, okay? So what his job is, is he goes around the different towns with all the newspapers from the big cities, Philadelphia, New York, Dallas, San Francisco, right? And then he charges people 10 cents or something to come into like a big tented room and he reads them the news of the world so people can be up to date. And I think there's probably a lot of illiteracy back then. Wow. Was that really fucking how it worked? I mean, probably, you know, like how else would you find out about shit you couldn't read?

You know, some fucking dude's got to come and read it to you. Just that kind of part of history. I was like, that's interesting and very cool. So the movie starts with him coming across this little girl who doesn't speak any English. She only speaks Native American, but she's a white girl like with blonde hair. So you're like, what? How did this happen? Come to find out like the Indians like raided where her family was being homesteaded or whatever, homesteading. And then they raised her as one of their own and so now she's the fucking thing she's an indian but she's a blonde german girl he's trying to take her back to her german

family but she wants to go back with the indians you know and then of course like they get attacked and like of course there's like creepy people who are like basically make her into a prostitute but she's fucking like nine and it's like whoa dude. And then Tom Hanks got to fucking regulate, you know? Anyways. Is it a movie? Yeah, it's a movie. It's on Netflix. And it's very good.

It's a very serious one, but great film. Really enjoyed it. That sounds really good. Yeah. Do you know what else is on freaking Netflix that's brand new that I'm so excited about and didn't know was on? Startup? Because that's from 2016.

No, but that is on the top 10 list. So I can see how you would think it was new. Thank you. Number one in the US today, The Woman in the Window starring Amy Adams. This was a book. Did you read the book? No, but it's a girl on a train and gone girl and woman in the window. It's all the fucking same thing. Woman in the window. Amy Adams though. I mean, come on. Everything she does is amazing. Also Gary Oldman's in it. it confined to her home by agoraphobia a psychologist becomes obsessed with her new neighbors and solving a brutal crime she witnesses from her window i'm so pumped okay i take it back i'm gonna watch this tonight and then i'll watch the angela jolie that's like the

oldest story in the book though right shyla boof played this character right we're remembering totally yeah yeah what was that movie we're having a good movie though it was it's like he had a broken leg and uh and so he's like watching his neighbor yeah yeah I forget what that was oh that's fine that was more of like a horror film though right yeah hold on is it Disturbia yeah yeah yeah great movie yeah which was a ripoff of another movie from like from the 60s or something that i remember that's funny well i'm watching this i love amy adams we were out yesterday having brunch dude i went to a restaurant guys who are you dude i'm just living my best life right now like i don't even know how to feel guys and my mom's like with you she's she's here in nashville right now

obviously yeah if you are on patreon you figured that out but she's kind of the same like she now that she's got both her backs vaccines and she's here in nashville and she just is feeling the same way like living her life i was talking about with my brother i don't fucking like baseball dude baseball is boring as shit now we did play past the cup and that was interesting in my normal life i'd be like baseball's kind of fucking boring. I'll still go, but whatever. I had the best time in the world. And it's because we have been not allowed to go do anything, you know, for so long.

You know what's going to happen this year. Now that we're opening back up and we're able to go do shit, everything is going to be so fucking rad. Things are going to taste better. Music's going to sound better. Movies are going to look better. Dude, we're going to fucking nut constantly because we have not been able to do anything which is true which this whole thing has been really really sad and tragic and fucking hard and everything but the silver lining is is that we're going to like love life so much more and we'll have learned a lesson we should always

feel like this you know yeah oh look at that positive motivational wells yeah so anyways going back to we were at brunch for my birthday and we were in venice and of course they had like non-binary bathroom you know like it's not men or it could be all genders which i think is a little performative just say bathroom then you know like i don't i don't need to know that like you're fucking woke you're like i get. You're you're a brunch place in Venice. We get it. Like, cool. I appreciate that.

And I love that. But like, just a bathroom. It doesn't matter. You don't need to fucking denote that you're fucking awesome. Anyway, so I went to the bathroom. I came back and I told them that we started getting into it. And I was like, the only time I would not be down with that is if it was stalls. Like it was, you know, like I wouldn't

want to go into the bathroom if a woman was pooping next to me. My sister-in-law was like, what, you know, like why? And I was like, cause I would feel fucking bad for her. I wouldn't want her that some woman, I don't know, having to smell how gross of a human being I am. She was like, dude, I was a cocktail waitress at the Viper room for fucking 15 years. Let me tell you something. I had to clean the bathrooms. Women's bathrooms are so much grosser than guys' bathrooms. And I was like, okay, also don't want to know that either. You know, like, so then my brother's like, yeah, but I get stressed out, man. You know, like if a woman goes into the bathroom after me, after I've taken a crap, I feel bad that she has to fuck. She's like, no, that that was me.

And I was like, yeah, that's fucked up and so he goes so you know what i do if i've taken a shit and i know there's gonna be a line out out the door i try to shit as quickly as possible and i lift the toilet seat up so she thinks that i took a peepee and i but even though i took a shit and she didn't think it was the person before and i was like that is genius but also you don't even know this person he's like i know but she's gonna fucking see me and then tell the, she's going to tell her table that that guy over there is going to mess up shit. This is overthinking like to the max.

Anyways, I thought that was a really funny story. That is funny. I just carry a little travel size poopery with me everywhere. Do you? Yeah, it's in my purse. We got to normalize like guy purses or something you know because i i couldn't i've been saying that because i'm sick and tired of my guy friends wanting to put their keys in my bag and their wallet in my bag when we're like get your own shit get your own man purse yeah all your stuff

in my bag that's yeah he said like fanny packs were like starting to make a comeback, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I want less shit in my pockets, you know? Speaking of phones, did you know this? That Apple has a deal, I guess with all like production companies or whatever, that if you are a bad guy in a movie, you can't be using an iPhone. But if you're the good guy, you can be using an iPhone. No way. Yeah.

So if you're watching a movie and you're trying to figure out who the bad guy is or the good guy is, and you think someone's a good guy and you see they're using an Android in the movie, best believe that they turn out to be the bad guy. Where did you hear this? TikTok, whatever.

I don't know if it's true or not. Oh boy, I cannot. Be the bad guy. Where did you hear this? TikTok. Whatever. I don't know if it's true or not. Oh, boy. I cannot. You're going to start believing everything you see on TikTok. I wouldn't be surprised about that. Let's Google. Let's do a quick Googs and see if that's true. Because Google's the Bible, and we should believe everything on Google.

Okay, so this is from CNBC. So I feel like that's somewhat. Apple won't let bad guys use iPhones in movies. Knives Out director Ran Johnson says, Ran Johnson, the writer and director of Knives Out, revealed that Apple will permit film productions to use its product on screen, but bad characters can't have an iPhone on camera. There you go. I don't know.

You don't believe it? I'm skeptical. I don't know. That's funny, though. I't believe it? I'm skeptical. I don't know. It's funny, though. I kind of wanted to wrap up my thoughts on the circle. Are you going to watch the circle? Because I don't want to ruin it for you. I don't think so.

It's really good. Because I was skeptical when we first talked about it. And so if you haven't watched the circle yet, I guess maybe don't listen to what I'm about to say for the next 30 seconds. Here's my hot take. I wishloe had won really yeah because i feel she was herself she was herself and she was popular because she was herself and sweet and nice and like very naive and i wanted just like when broey joey won i wanted her to win because then it proves the point of like just being yourself and being a sweet nice person is the the best thing. Now, the girl that did win, she was a catfish and

she was pretending to be her baby daddy, who was like really good looking dude. But she was pretending to be your baby daddy and pretending to be a single father. So I was tugging at the heartstrings of a lot of people. And so and I, and I didn't love that because like, it's kind of grody that she did that to win. Then in my mind, I'm like, well, I'm happy that they did win because Khloe doesn't fucking need $100,000. That girl, I'm sure she makes a ton of money

off of Instagram and shit. And like, she doesn't need the 100K. So I'm glad that the family that's got a little girl that like actually probably needs the money to like down payment on a new house. And this is probably the last television show she ever does. Glad that the family that's got a little girl that like actually probably needs the money to like down payment on a new house. This is probably the last television show she ever does. Glad that she won. But I feel like Chloe played the best game.

And that's where I'm going to end it right there. That's what I think. Remember we had Chloe on the show? Yeah. Love Chloe. Yeah, she's great. Hi, babe. How you doing?

Like she's fucking awesome, dude. Yeah, she's great. Do you have any news acts or no? Let me take a gander. Well, while you're looking, I'll fucking awesome, dude. Yeah, she's great. Do you have any news acts or no? Let me take a gander. Well, while you're looking, I'll play something for you. I don't know if I played Blitz and Trapper recently. I do love some Blitz and Trapper. I mean, like, Fur is like one of my fave songs ever.

Anyways, this is Sons and Unwed Mothers demo. So, I don't know. I don't know what that means, but I like this too. Yeah, I walked the halls in empty rooms But all I heard was rain So I made my way up to the cemetery on the hill Oh, the wild goose from the circles round The wishing mountain dawn All the sons and unwed mothers Make their way down through the fog

Does the howling of these dire wolves Sons of unwed mothers make their way down through the fog. Does the howling of these dire wolves wake the dead or just the dogs? It's got like a Simon and Garfunkel vibe to it. And I love those guys. I first saw them at Mercy Lounge and Dawes was opening up for them. How crazy is that? That's a good show. Yeah. I love the Mercy Lounge. I do too, man. I guess like my first like club

concert like that, like I'd been to like arena concerts, right? Like Hanson and Matchbox 20 and shit. But like my first like club show was there to see Taking Back Sunday when I was in high school. Yeah. We don't give enough like love to the Cannery Complex in Nashville.

But if you go visit Nashville, if you don't go see a show at either the Cannery Ballroom, it's all one big building. So there's Cannery Ballroom, Mercy Lounge. And is it called the High Watt? Is that what's above that? Yeah, the High Watt's upstairs. I will say this. I don't fucking love the Cannery because it's like like a weird l curve and so sound kind of bounces weird but

it does i will say the mercy lounge is there's no i feel like there's no place really like that out in la the troubadour is pretty dope it is the satellite's cool oh i also um kind of dig the el rey theater in la i've never been to a show there it's pretty cool yeah i played there Satellite's cool. Oh, I also kind of dig the El Rey Theater in LA. I've never been to a show there. It's pretty cool. Yeah. I played there when I was in band. Really?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Go and brush them off. LA's amphitheater vibe fucking kills. The Hollywood Bowl is amazing. I love the Greek. The Greek. The ultimate.

Ultimate. I haven't listened to any of this yet because I just opened my music thing up. But J. Cole put out a new album and I really like his stuff. And did you know that he's playing basketball professionally in Africa right now? Really? Isn't that crazy? Why are talented people just talented at everything? It's very quite annoying.

It's wild. I saw it in the news like last week or something. And then now that it's now that it's people are talking about it i've been seeing it on instagram quite a bit but um yeah he's straight up like playing professional basketball in africa which is super dope and then happened to drop an album at the same time genius what's the name of the song um well i haven't i haven't listened to any of it yet i can't really pick out a song but the album's called the off season if you just want to play the first track play a little bit of it you can 95 south i love he's just so cool i just i love if you look at the track listing the way he like typed out all the song titles is super cool like there's a space in between each letter super cool yeah i'm into

By the way, I don't know if this is old or what, but on my like for you page on Instagram was a video of Becca giving Blake a rose somewhere. Did you see that? No, but it's funny you bring that up because I've had a lot of people ask me lately if Becca and Blake are dating.
