This podcast is brought to you by PodcastNation. Okay, dokey. What's up everybody? Hope everyone's doing well. We're fine getting the sweater season. It's sweat of season. It's sweater weather. I love a sweater weather.

I mean, not really. It was like 85 degrees here in Los Angeles. But, you know, I feel like it's coming. It's got to be coming. That or the apocalypse, I'm not really sure. One of the two is a coming down the mountain. My old Miss Rebels lost this weekend. And listen, it was a relatively good game. It was a one-score game. We lost at Athens between the hedges, which is a hard place to play. But, you know, it took the wind out of my sales because I thought maybe this might be the year. Can I just give you guys some advice about being a fan of anything? You should only be fans of like the Yankees, the Dodgers, the Patriots, the 49ers, like teams that statistically speaking over the last 30 years have been okay.

Because if you love a team that has never been good, God damn it. It hurts. Dude, it hurts every day. And you become jaded. You become one of these people that just like doesn't believe the magic anymore. And that's sad too. So anyways, that's where I'm living right now.

I'll be fine. Let's, um, what don't we call the brand Z? No, it's time to call her up. Never be a fan of a team that sucks always. We're still right. the top 10, I think, but still, you know what I'm saying. Oh, hey. Don't be too excited to do this show.

I'm in Bentonville, Arkansas. Bentonville, Arkansas, man, that's the home of the largest piece of spam. Is it? Yeah, you didn't know that about Bentonville? Spam started was in Bentonville. Oh, well, it's, I know it is the home of Walmart. That too, yes, of course. But that's how, that's how Sam Wall got his start as he started spam and then.

Oh. Oh, okay. None of that is true. I made all that up. Oh. So the Walmart thing is true. That's where it started. Yes.

Sam Walton, is that his name? He's from here. It's my first time in Bentonville. It's very lovely. But they own the entire town. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like their names everywhere.

There's like the nicest fucking Walmart I've ever seen in the downtown with like the glass wall. Oh. It's like the Walmart neighborhood market. it, but it's like boozy Walmart, you know? All right, all right. It's very cool. It appears that the Walton's, I guess, have pumped all this money into this town.

And it's like this little Pleasantville town in the middle of fucking nowhere, Arkansas. You know what I mean? You know, it's funny is I'm actually doing a Walmart campaign right now. Really? I am. I have to edit my reel later today. So, yeah, I mean, this will be some free advertisement for them,

but they want to get into like the health and wellness space, right? Which makes a lot of sense. Like, there's a lot of money, right? And, like, also, health and wellness is expensive. I know. You know, like Lulu Lemon and Allo and all that stuff. You're just like, this is stuff so expensive. You know, I think that you can get kind of like the same stuff but for reasonable Walmart prices.

Okay. So anyways, I'm going to, I don't know if I've told you, but I'm going to start trading for a marathon. I think you did mention that. Yeah. Yeah, I think I'm going to run the Big Sur marathon, which is so hard, but so beautiful. So anyway, so I'm going to be utilizing all of Walmart's resources for one for me to look good, me to feel good with supplements and, you know, pharmacy stuff. And then, of course, they've got great food. I will say this, you know, we all use Amazon so much, but you can use Walmart.

It's better and faster and I think cheaper. For what? Everything. Everything you want, you can get delivered straight to your door from Walmart. Really? Yeah. I know this sounds like an ad, but. It does.

I'm kind of here for it. I have more same-day stuff delivered than you can get like same day from Amazon, you know? Oh, shit. Okay, I'm going to have to get on this. I think I have a free Walmart Plus membership to my Amex account and I've never used it. So maybe I need to do that. Do you got the platinum card, the metal one? You know it.

Me too. They got some good perks right now. They got great perks. Uber Plus or whatever. That's one of them. They pay for Uber Plus. The new Rezic credit. The resy credit.

I use that immediately, by the way. Immediately. And then we've got some great restaurants attached to that in Nashville. Like, I love the hotel, the hotel credits. Like, I book their fine hotels and resorts a few times a year, and I get huge credits back. Like, it's so worth it. And this is such a boogey conversation.

And it is expensive to have the platinum card. But if you use maybe three of the things, it kind of pays itself off. I always tell people, like, if you travel a lot, it's worth it. Yeah. Most of the perks are travel related. Well, and the ability to go into lounges is very nice. Very nice. Yeah.

I got no complaints against my Amex Platinum car. I think it's a good thing. This is the weirdest. Not an ad should be. Not an ad should be. Let's clip this, send it to Amex. Let's get some of that Amex money. Pay my friggin annual fee, baby.

Yeah, right? Yeah. I want to get the black card. Oh, don't you have to have a certain income for that one? Oh, yeah. How much money you make. It's for, it's for like, billionaires. Yeah.

I remember when I worked at Bricktops, when we'd see a black car. We were like, oh, you should have got a good tip. Somebody was just telling me about how much they fucking love Bricktops. That place fucks, dude. That place was awesome. I've only been one time. Really? Like a decade ago.

Yeah. We should go next time I'm there. I mean, it's very similar. You worked to Jay Alexander. I think it's like almost the same thing. Well, I love Jay Alexander still to this day. I love Bricktops still to this day. Look at us back when we worked in the service industry.

We're so old. Do you know what I'm on right now? Retinae, baby. I'm getting retinae on my face. Oh, good. Do you think it looks any better? Your skin does look nice. Okay, thank you.

I think that I'm so easily manipulated. I also think that I'm very easily, oh, yeah, that's working, even though it's not, you know, because placebo effect, I think is what I'm doing. I did this Walmart thing, and I met this, like, she has a YouTube channel where she, like, does beauty stuff, and she's like my age. and she looks 30 years younger than me. It's disgusting, actually. Jen Chee.

Okay. Beauty Fashion Life. She's got like over a million subscribers on YouTube. Anyways, I met her, and I was like, okay, I'm 41. What do I got to do? And she was like, you wash your face? And I was like, I never wash my face. And she was like, you got to start washing your face.

And she was like, and you, like, you're on TV a bunch. Like, do you, what do you do when you have makeup on? And I go, I get those wipes and I do that. Oh, Wells. She's like, well, you have got. to stop this. You do. Those are terrible for you.

The thing that I believe in the most is retinae. Like it's the only thing that I really actually think will change stuff. And I'm like, yeah, but don't you need a prescription for that? And she's like, yeah, but any doctor will do it. By the way. By the way, you can just go on Amazon and be like, I want prescription retinae. And then they'll have like, they'll set up like a text message consultation with a doctor. And then you can get it sent to you immediately.

Yeah. So anyways, I'm doing the retinae. I'm getting glowy skin. Just make sure you're wearing sunscreen. That's the other thing she said. She was like, dude, you need to wear sunscreen.

And I was like, I'm Portuguese. The retinae can make you burn easily. Oh, I know that. I know that. I look so much better when I'm tan, dude.

And she was like, the number one thing is you got to wear sunscreen. She was like, just wear a tanner. And I'm like, God dang it. Okay, fine.

No, that's bad for you too. Oh, this is like a hot, hot topic. You know, like we're walking in fire here talking about this.

I think there are pros and cons to both sunscreen and sun like being in the sun right like you can't really win i think the sun is obviously great for us vitamin d i think it's good for you to absorb some sunlight obviously you don't want to damage your skin but most sunscreens are terrible for you too like i think it's just as bad probably to get a friggin sunburn as it is to be putting all those chemicals on your freaking face every day i don't know however there are some ingredients for sunscreen that are better than others. So use a mineral sunscreen. What does that mean? The difference is the mineral sunscreens a lot of people don't like them because a lot of them have like that white cast and they're

thicker. But the thing is the mineral sunscreens sit on top of your skin instead of being absorbed into your skin. Oh, okay. So the chemical sunscreens like the Ava Benzino or whatever. It's all the fucking big words that you can't pronounce. All those are bad for you because they get absorbed into your bloodstream to block the sun and you don't want those chemicals in your bloodstream. zinc oxide is better sometimes if you get a cheap one or one that's not very good it'll make it you look white and do that white cast thing but it's much better for you and there are some they're probably pricier but there are some that don't do that that don't leave the white cast so that's the tea on sunscreen but yeah like if it's winter and the sun's not out don't put

sunscreen on don't put chemicals on your face yeah yeah okay so anyways now i've got a whole new regimen where I've got like a gel cleanser that I'm using and like oils. She gave me like an entire list of stuff. I've got tinctures. I'm apothecary face right now. I love that for you. I know, but you know, we got to fight it. We have to fight age. We do. We do. All right, Brandi, you know how I was talking about how like I'm really taking washing and cleansing, helping my face seriously these days. Yeah, I love that. I started using this new company called Dime. Have you heard about it? Oh, no, do tell. Dude, okay, I just got TBTI, Lumosity, body glaze, core memory, cleansing oil, hyaluronic acid and dewy cream. And I've been using it on my face. And oh my God,

it's making my skin look so glowy and younger and moisturized. I absolutely love it. Skin care is usually only for girls, but I feel like this is also for guys. Like mine was It's like all black stuff. That's the mistake. People think it's just for girls, but it's not. Men should take care of their skin too. I know. Anyways, none of us are getting any younger.

You guys are going to be obsessed with their hyleronic acid serum. It's for deep hydration and your skin is going to just drink it in. And the TBT cream, it's Dimes clean retinol alternative that is not only super moisturizing for cooler months, not greasy, but also delivers amazing anti-aging results.

I think it's you. Bros and Hose, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with. Vettles and Brandy, we're trying to look younger. I imagine the entire YFT audience is also in the same boat as us. Probably. Oh, speaking of being younger. I'm so excited because I keep like so the function health stuff we've been talking about yeah I get my results back in like waves like it's still not all back yet okay but I keep getting more and more of it guess what my biological age is Wells um you are 35 right now I'm 30 I'm 38 I'm 38 I'm gonna say you're 28 29 26 baby wow pretty fucking good if you ask me that's very good I was impressed I thought for sure. What does that mean? How do they know that? They assess like all these different

biomarkers from your heart health to like your just all the things. And then they come up with this like biological age. Here's the thing. This aura ring tells you your cardiovascular age. You know, we've talked about that. Yours is like insanely young. 11 years. And that just measures, you know, your heart rate at different times of day. And it's just really based off that. This is based off of 30 plus biomarkers that they assess to come up with this biological age. So here's the thing for me, like, obviously I look young. Thanks, Tish for those jeans. But on the outside, but I was worried that, like, maybe on the inside, my health was taken

a hit and I didn't, I wasn't so young. Well, behold, 26, baby. So next time when someone asks my age, I think I'm just going to go with 26 from now on. It's going to be my industry age. It's going to be like my, just if someone asks, like, 26. I love that. I mean, like, listen, if we looked at both of our moms, we are going to do just great. Yeah.

Because my mom is much older than your mom. And she still looks pretty good. She looks so good. Yeah. She does. I'm excited to hear more about this function stuff, and I'm glad that you are younger. Sarah and I do the same thing about our anniversary, how long we've been married. Ah. We have an industry marriage because, well, because we are supposed to get married in 2020, but then the pandemic,

and they're supposed to get married in 2021, but the pandemic. So then we got married in 2022, but we lived together, bought a house, lived through a pandemic, but weren't able to get married. And then, you know, people would be like, what's your anniversary? You're celebrating, you're like three, but like, we should get more credit than that. And they're like, a lot of times they're like, oh my God, you guys are just starting out. Like, let me give you some advice. Fuck you, man.

We live through a pandemic together. Okay. And that ended a lot of relationships. Oh, absolutely. It ended. It ended most relationships. It was like the ultimate test. It ended a lot of relationships with the families.

Let's be honest with you. Let's be real. Yeah. A lot of controversy. Oh, you'd be so proud of you, Brandy. just got back from Monterey. I was asked to host a charity benefit gala. And also be a auctioneer effectively.

I was both. I did both things. No, I've hosted gala's before. I've hosted charity things where like on the MC and then someone else comes out there and it's like doing that. That's the part that seems hard. Yeah, I obviously can't do that.

So I just was like, all right, what will we got here? You know, it's a thousand dollars. Anyone, anyone? $2,000. All right. You know, whatever. But anyways, I'm giving back to my community, Brandy. I'm doing some charity work. Yeah. And it's actually an amazing cause. It's, uh, the charity is called AIM and it's for youth mental health and youth mental health research. So where I grew up in the Monterey County, there's, you know, 40 schools or whatever. But there really aren't a lot of programs for kids like suffering from mental health issues. They started this 11 years ago. So it wasn't around when I was there. But it's, it's, it's, the schools that I went to now, which is so cool. And it seems like it's an important thing for we need to have more like mental health stuff in schools. Like, because kids are going through like so much more these days, which is scary. Also like there's school shootings and shit. I'm sure it's all predicated with like social media and the internet, internet bullying and all that kind of stuff. Gone of the days when we grew up and like we were just like, let's go play outside, you know?

And now it's like living in your phone and shit. If you ever want to give money to a really good cause aim. So what they do is it's twofold. One, they. teach kids how to talk to other kids about mental health and like the signs and stuff. And if like you need to go like tell a teacher like, hey, so and so struggling or whatever, they also like takes away the stigma of like, you know, a lot of people think that like, at least in our day, like talking about mental health was like weak. So it's like allowing them to be like, feel like they're in a safe space to talk about like, I'm depressed right now or whatever.

I'm feeling suicidal. And then the other thing is that they do like grants and scholarships for these kids to continue the work, you know, into college and then past and then be able to give back that way, you know? So anyways, aim. It's a great charity and, you know, I was just happy to be there and help support. Very cool. Yeah. Do you do any charity? Do people call you a hero? I mean, people, some people, I won't say it, but people are saying it that I'm a hero. Hero is a big word. It's only a couple letters. I'm not sure about throwing that around, but you know me, a classic to my brand. I do most of my

charity work and non-profit work is with like horses. I just feel like that's my calling to be a voice for the animals that don't have one. Do you ever host charity gala's and raise money for that? Yeah, I've done a couple actually. All right. All right. Look at you. Sadly, so

the one I did last year, the organization that I probably spend the most time with is free wild horses, American wild horse conservation. And last year we threw a big fundraiser in LA that I gave a speech at

I didn't do the auctioneering but I helped with the auctioneering but I helped with the auction giveaways and stuff like that and I'm on it's not the board of the committee and I'm on like their committee I guess for raising awareness

and speaking out for the cause and getting people other people involved and all that shout out to Caitlin Carter she's the one that got me into this years ago she's also on the committee or whatever they call it so yeah i'd say that's the one i'm like most involved with um i love a charity event years ago ben and i threw that huge fundraiser for humanity and hope the like 2000s

like millennial night or whatever so much work to throw that event like that made me have so much respect for people that do events because it's just insane an insane amount of work and especially for a charity event where there's like sponsors aren't getting money it's like you have to ask them to just give much harder but But so worth it. So rewarding. Yeah. Something like that, you know?

I know. And honestly, everybody should get involved with something. Whatever, like, does it for you, then, like, go to those things. Because, so I was auctioning off all this stuff, right? It's like a trip to Napa to go to, like, the French laundry and have a wine tasting. And you're like, this is awesome, by the way. And a lot of stuff sold for, like, less than it was worth.

Oh, totally. And not to say that, like, that's the point of doing it is to get, like, trips for cheap, but they need the money. And if that happens and you get it for less than what it's really worth and it's something that's really cool to you, then it's a win-win for everyone, it seems like. Totally. You know? I agree. Anyways. So yeah, skincare and I'm a hero. So that's where we are right. Oh, the other thing, Brandy, be very proud of me. Figured it out. Okay. Non-alcoholic Corona. It's great. Oh, okay. Fantastic. I realized what it is. it was last night I got home I drove back from Monterey I wanted to watch football and I was like I just want to beer but I don't want to be drunk but I want to watch football and I want to have a beer so I went to the store I got non-alcoholic Corona I was like this tastes exactly the same I feel it's pretty freaking close Dom my mom's husband is sober he drinks non-alcoholic beer and it looks just like real beer in the fridge like bottles look the same I think his is Heineken that he likes zero zero zero zero

Heiniken is good. The Corona non-alcoholic and then the zero Budweiser is pretty good as well. Okay. Anyways, I figured it out. See? Now, this is a win-win. I know. Honestly, I do think it's also like you want to be doing something when you go to parties. You want to like be holding something. Totally. So when I'm DJing a lot, this is I'm going to let you guys. A lot of times I'll have a drink that looks like it's like vodka and Red Bull or something. Yeah. But it's not. It's like a little Celsius in LaCroix. But it makes me feel like I'm having a drink and it makes everybody else feel like I'm having a drink. And it just makes everyone, it just like makes everyone feel great about the situation.

And then I don't have to have a hangover. Nice. Okay. Do you have any favorite things or what's happening with your life? Well, before we just dive into like that, I just keep looking at my own hat and just wanted to give a shout out. I saw Noah this past week. She played at the Ryman. Does she played the Ryman before?

She has not. This was her first time. She headlined? She headlined the Ryman? She headlined the Ryman? the Ryman. Big, big deal. I know. It was so sick. My mom and I went, Matt was there.

Noah's merch is sick. You guys are going to the Noah Cyrus show. Check out the merch booth. I'm just so proud of her. She is just, I mean, she's always had such a great voice and been so talented, but she is really just becoming like a phenomenal artist. She's really like perfected her artistry and her craft and, you know, her songs are very sad girl, very emotional, like not a whole lot of upbeat songs. But she really carried like the whole whole. hour and a half of the show with just being so like performative and so engaging and she's like a little bit theatrical with her show and makes it so fun and I'm so impressed with her and she's on tour right now so if you guys get a chance to go see Noah the show's so good I'm a little biased

but anyone in your family is playing the Ryman let me know I will fly out for that all right I know the rhyme like the Ryman's just so sickening I'm so out of the freaking loop because I'm so busy Jason Isbell is doing this like extended residency there right now do you know this Well, he's been doing it for the past, like, maybe five years. And so, like, the first year I remember, I was still, like, doing radio. And he did, like, three nights of the Ryman. And then, like, the next year, he did four. And then the next year he did five.

And, yeah, every year he, like, breaks a record for any artists who can do this. It's so sick. But, of course, it's, like, happening right now. And I'm leaving for Australia. And by the time I'm back, it's over. Yeah. But, like, if you're feeling, you know, like, hopping on a plane, that's where I'd be going is to see him at the But it's probably all sold out.

It might be, yeah. You've got it. connections. I guess that's true. Also, if you ever just go to Nashville, who gives the shit who's playing there? Just go get walk, go to Broadway, go to fucking Kid Rocks Bar or whatever it is. Oh, you could skip that. You could absolutely skip that. That guy sucks so hard. Go to the food hall. It's right across from the Ryman. The food hall. Do you know about this? The food hall? What is this? You don't know about the assembly food hall? Oh, this wasn't there when I was there. It's so fucking nice. It's right. It's brand new.

Well, it's not brand brand new, but in the past couple years. Is it the old convention center? No, it's fifth and Broadway, even been there yet? No. It's a cross from Bridgestone and then like the Ryman's on the, on the... I think that that's where the old convention center was. And they were trying to figure out what to do with it. They turned this huge shopping, whole foods, like, and this assembly food hall.

And it's like this bougie, nice ass food hall full of all of Nashville's best. Like pharmacy burger. How do you be? Had to bees, yeah. All the fucking. things are in there. You can go in there and get whatever you want. Matt and I got sushi. It was very good. So we like hopped over. They have shake shack too, which was very tempting. Hopped over, got some sushi, got some no-baked cookie dough, which let me just tell you

right now. The flavor combo is pumpkin spice mixed with classic chocolate chip. A little scoop of both. No-baged cookie dough. You're welcome. So good. So yeah, hop over there, do the food hall, shop around, and then rhyming. The sound is just so good in there. Okay, so I'll cut this if this didn't happen, but did she have an encore? Yeah. Okay. Are they not allowed? No, so the thing that's like iconic about Riemann Auditorium Encores is that everyone starts

hitting on the pews and it makes, it makes this really hollow and like almost kind of like ghostly sound in the room. Every time I was in that room, which was a lot back in my radio days, like I got the biggest chills when people start to get people out. And the question I asked a lot of people and I recognize that I shouldn't ask it to everyone unless I know that they got an encore because I'd have people on my show

and I'm like, what does it feel like to be backstage and hear that? Because when you're... And some people are like, I didn't. They're like, yeah, I didn't have an encore. I wasn't the headliner. I was the opener. I'm like, oh, okay, let me cut that from the interview.

Yeah, yeah. So anyways, I want to know what it feels like to be backstage to hear that Because when you're in the audience, it sounds really cool. Yeah, it does. Yeah. I stayed out for it. So I wasn't back there with her.

But yeah, it's such a cool spot. And just like, just the second the kick drum starts in there, it just sounds different. Like, it's just so sick. The place is amazing. So, yeah, if you haven't ever been, put it on your bucket list. Go do it. All right, why have tears. Today's episode is brought to you by Fabletics.

You say this every week. I know. I think mine's like everyone else's, if I'm being honest with you. The new thing is it's AI videos of like dog saving babies. Have you seen this? No. There's this new AI video app that a lot of people obviously think is real, but it's not. And the one that's like honed in on me is like a real sweet, it's like a Sarah McLaughlin.

song, you know? And it's like a baby underneath a TV and the baby's like climbing up the thing and the TV's about to fall over and then all of a sudden like a German shepherd comes in and grabs the baby and pulls it and then the TV falls and it lands

on the German Shepherd but he saved the baby and the parent comes in and it's like oh my God thank you so much and it's not fucking real and it's so frustrating I haven't seen that particular scenario. I did see a very cool video that's totally AI of a cat, like riding on a drone around.

It looks so real. I showed a Matt. I was like, this is so cool. I wish it was real. And the cat just looked chill as fuck, like riding around on this drone. It was funny. And I was like, well, yeah, here we are. Everything's AI.

I was thinking about this. You remember when I was, like, really obsessed with aliens? We're going to know what it is. We got to a really close point where I felt like the government was like, I think we got to fucking say what's going on out there, you know, like. Yeah. There's a lot of stuff going on. And we got tick-tacks flying around and like naval officers and Air Force people are like,

we see them all the time, you know? And I feel like we got to this point. We're like, oh, my God, disclosure's about to come. And we're about to know what's going on. And like, are these aliens or are these like extradimensional beings? Like, what are they us? What is it? Is it us from the future?

And then right then AI came. You can't believe anything you see. That's true. We got real close and then they were like, hold on a second. Let me, let's put this thing in the, in the ether. And now you'll never know. Ha ha ha ha ha. They totally did it on purpose.

100%. 100%. It's a bummer too because I just want to know about the aliens. We still got to get Trace on to talk about the aliens. Anytime. Anytime you want. YFT or sent me this. I thought it was a good sound.

We haven't done this in a while, by the way. Yeah, we haven't. It says how it feels to wake up every day in 2020. I'm just gonna dance now fuck this shit because we don't have a chance now it's like this unwritten rule that all the it's like this unwritten rule that all the soundboard sounds have to have to have fuck in them Yeah. Let's go through the soundboard and see which ones don't have the word fuck in it.

It can't be many. We have this one. Being an asshole is my love language. Being an asshole is my love language. Okay, so that one doesn't have it. That one didn't. Shut the fuck up, but didn't ask for the dumb opinion that came out of your ass. Shut the fuck up.

So that one does. Let's see. This one, rotten hell. Okay. No fuck. Zero fuck. Zero. What the fuck was that?

Okay. All right. It's two two. All right. Let's see what this one is. Oh, I love this one. Everything I touch just a shit. Oh, yeah.

We don't use that one, much. That one's really good, by the way. It is, but we don't use it much. All right, this is... Okay, let's go. Here's another one. This is Christmas, what the fuck up? How many do we have?

What the fuck? All right. I think we got more fucks and we don't have fuchs. Yep. Suck a dick, suck a motherfucking dig. All right, got another one. Fuck up you, your small dick. That was good.

I love that one. All right. It was really good. This one, I think this is you. Men are garbage. No F you on that one. I forgot we put that one on there. Yeah.

All right. This one's pretty famous. I just need you to shut the fuck up because nobody asks you, bitch. I need you to shut the fuck a bitch. Okay. That one definitely does. I think the most used one we use is this one. What the fuck is happening here?

Definitely. So you're not wrong. We do basically why F2 years are like, does it have the word fuck in it if it does it send it to Wells and he'll probably play it. it totally it is what it is we have a brand pretty good they are really good and guess what i'm definitely putting that new one in i know i need to utilize these more but here we are i haven't finished task oh why not well i i finished i think i'm in the fourth episode now it is it is so good it's so good it gets better by the way i sent you a thing on ticot that was an interview with mark ruffalo

and the other guy. Oh, I feel like I was trying to watch this on the plane yesterday and couldn't get it to fucking load. Okay. I noticed that you always, well, not always, he's still handsome. We have this, like, group chat with Sarah, where it's just you sending us videos. Yes.

She doesn't ever really contribute. Either to you. I said, oh, my God, LOL. The one that I sent you guys about. Sarah's a silent partner. Yeah. It's like our merry. bed. Oh, he does look good here.

Yes. That's what I'm saying. Mark Ruffalo looks good. That was obviously they made him look bad for the role. Totally. Yeah. His hair looks better here. Yeah. I like him more with facial hair, though, I got to say. Did you know that, how do you say Tom Pelfrey? Yeah. How do you say his last name? You know, he's dating Kaylee Cuoco in real life. Yeah. Crazy. I didn't know that. Yeah, yeah. That interview with Ruffalo is funny because he was like, I was a leading man and then I woke up one day and I'm now a character actor. And, and It's like, yeah, I guess that's what happens when you're no longer the Hulk. That's what happens, I guess.

Yeah. Okay, well, you have to finish it. It's really like, it's so good, but it gets great towards the last couple episodes. Okay, I believe that. I only have books today. Oh. Well, I'd love to just touch on dancing with the stars quickly. Give me everything going on.

I know that, I know that there's been a little bit of controversy between Derek Huff and Carrie Ann and Alice, who's getting Weird. Carriana Naba. She sucks. Let me preface this with... She's gotten better. Okay, hold on, hold on. Let me say what I have to say about Karyana. Carriana Nava. That guy's voice. By the way, that announcer guy, it's Derek Huff, dancing the cha-cha. Why do you sound like that, dude? I don't know, but if he needs to retire, he should take over. He sounds just like him. carry on it's an eight she sucks you can totally do that job oh i know send this in for your audition real she sucks she sucks so hard but everyone that's angry at her yeah dude that's her role she's the simon cow so it's like dumb it's like you can't be angry at like that's her part someone's got to be the jerk and it's cariana no well she's not anymore though which i dislike Like she is totally softened up

And now she's giving high scores where there shouldn't be Yeah And she's letting people cut corners And she's just way nicer And I don't like it I miss the Simon Cowell of it all Yeah So here's my gripe this past week

It was like dedication week Yeah so they brought their friends right They have like like They pick someone to like dedicate their song to But in the past they've done that And that's all been good and well But this time this year This season whatever

They're actually incorporating the person into the dance. And I don't like it. It's too distracting. And nobody, none of the judges actually gave any constructive, any kind of criticism or any anything. No one even really talked about the dancing. They were just like giving high scores and being like, it was so beautiful for your dedication. I don't even fuck about the dedication. I want to know who fucking cha cha-cha better than the last one. The dedication to me was too distracting and it was hard to focus on the actual dance. There was like one or two people and I've watched it a whole week ago, so I can't remember who. but there were one or two people that had their person come in right in the beginning for like a few seconds and then they left and they danced and I was like okay that works because we've seen your dedication and then they leave and but then there were people that literally incorporated them in the beginning and in the middle and in the end and it was too much like I this is not what we're here for I'm here to see some dancing fucking competition I don't want to see eights and nine's just because somebody has some sob story about their dedication

God, man So that was my complaint about this week Your boy Dylan Yeah, did he bring Zach? No Zach wouldn't do it Did you know he has a really, really young, young young sister?

No, I mean, I'm sure he told me at some point She is young. Like clearly his dad Got with some younger woman and had a baby, I think But it was, their relationship is very sweet And he brought her out And he got the highest scores of the night Really?

I was shocked. I mean, I love Dylan, but he is not the strongest dancer in the group. Yeah. And the only way I feel like this works this week is like normally I would be like Dylan's not the best dancer. He does not deserve the best scores. But the girl that is the best dancer, the Mormon wife chick, who's so good, she wasn't good this week.

Her timing was off. And I feel like it's because she brought her husband in for her dedication and made him part of the dance. And I feel like she was too distracted. by the husband being part of the dance to do the dance well and her timing was off and it wasn't good and so they had to give her lower scores so that's how dylan got away with getting such high scores love you dylan so much you're just not the strongest dancer so like i don't know and i feel like kerry ann specifically it's just obsessed with dylan like dylan can do no wrong

it's like all your dance isn't good nine nine's all across the board and so i just hate that like i wish i wish there was just more i wish there was the simon cowell like i like to see a harsh critic I like to see someone give some constructive criticism and be like, you know what, you're so cute and likable, but you can't dance. But Dylan did do good this week. I saw that Alec Baldwin's wife who like. She got booted. And then she was like, they bullied me off that show. And it's like, dude, you can't use bully this way.

You got voted off the show because no one likes you. That stuff. I mean, guess that is kind of bullying. I don't. Maybe on a macro scale. I think it's just. That the demographic that's like watching the show and voting isn't her demographic. You know what I mean?

Yeah. What do you think the demographic is? I think it's either like the TikTok crowds watching for the Alex Earle and the Mormon wives of it all. Or it's like that older generation that's watched dancing with the stars for years that's probably voting for like Andy Richter. You know what I mean? Who's going to win? I think it's got to be. What's the redhead Mormon wife's name?

Fuck. I don't know. This is your show. Whitney Levitt. Whitney, thank you, Whitney. Whitney's by far the best dancer. The Mormon Wives Show is huge, so I think she's probably got quite a few people voting for her.

I think she should win it and probably will win it. I think Alex Earle is really fucking good. Like, she's a close second to Whitney. And doesn't have the dance background that Whitney has. So I think as far as who should win it, it's probably either Whitney or Alex. Yeah. People fucking love the Irwin kid. he gets such good scores and people just love him.

I don't, I guess just because everyone loved his dad so much. So like he, I think he'll probably be top three. I think he'll go pretty far. They're going to make that kid The Bachelor. You think? I have a theory about all this. I could see that. I think that they had actually cast Taylor Frankie Paul to be on Dancing with the Stars.

Oh. And then when they couldn't figure out who the Bachelor is, they pivoted over because they're like, we've got a big star here. I wonder if they were like, you can do Dancing with Stars next year. You be the Bachelorette, then we're going to, you and whoever you choose and probably other cast members will then now be implemented into Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. You can then do, or you and your partner can do dancing with the stars next year.

Gone of the days of like whoever got their heartbroken on the Bachelorette becomes the bachelor. It's whoever's going to get their heartbroken on dancing with the stars is going to be the bachelor. Yeah, totally. you know so if like if the irwin kid is like second or third they'd be like make this fucking kid the bachelor i could see it because i think he will come in second or third yeah i do i think he'll go that far people just fucking love him all right mark it down if that happens we need to clip

this and oh have to yeah have to but yeah to me he just see how old is he i mean he just seems like a child to me but that's you know maybe i'm just old we we started the show with function talk and retinae. So. You're right. Yeah. I'm glad you're watching the show and I'm glad you're enjoying it.

I do. I love it. Carrie Adada. I can't wait for you to be the announcer. I know. I should be. I would love to host the show. I know I have no ties to dance

and obviously Julian Huff is like the queen of it. But if you guys need someone, call me. I was always saying that Sarah should host that show. Oh, she'd be great at it. Like why don't you have a hostage? One, she can dance. Yeah. She can do that thing.

Like she would look great and the outfits and yeah. It's like the only way you're going to get her on the show is if they put me in it and then I have to have like spouses night and I like drag her into it or if they let her be the host. Yeah, she would kill it as host. Yeah. You guys are both to it. I'll put it in our TikTok chat. Manifestation.

Okay. I have a book. Okay. And you need to read it. Okay. Mainly because you love you. for my Australia trip. Yes.

Author, one of your favorites, Blake Crouch. Ooh, okay. It says it came out in 2025. So I guess it's new. And I heard that A24 bought the rights and Zach Ephron is going to be starring in it. Oh, we love all those things.

I know. My name is Lancelot, Blue Dunquist. And the best thing about me is, when you doll me up just right, I look like movie star James Jansen. Meet Lance, 38-year-old. works meaningless job still lives above his parents garage by all accounts a world-class loser except for one glaring exception he has a million dollar face lance has been mistaken 28 times for the oscar winning movie star

james jansen and for the last 10 years he's been saving his money studied jansen's films his movies his idiosyncrasies even the way he speaks and now after an unceremonious termination from his job. Lance has decided that his time has come to go after his dream and become James Jansen famous by Blake Crouch. It is so good.

Okay. It's quick. I guess funny, like he is not an actor, obviously. But he, like, knows everything about him and, like, he goes to New York, and he, like, goes to Columbia where Jansen, like, went to theater school and, like, talks to, like, his old

professors and then like asked to do like a one act and has to like speak to like all these kids and stuff and like he gets put on stage in front of like hundreds of people and fucking loses his and like that seems amazing then he goes to l.A. and finds him and it's a love story and the ending is so so good it's going to be such a great creepy fun movie but the book is fantastic wow okay great this is great I'm excited about this for my trip yeah you're gonna like it. Okay. And the other book that I have called Incidents Around the House. Have you heard of this one? No. Okay, I know that you don't listen to books on tape, but this one is so good on tape because of the voice actors in it. A chilling horror novel about a haunting told from the perspective of a young girl

whose troubled family is targeted by an entity she calls, other mommy, from the New York Times best author of Birdbox. Incidents around the house by Josh Mallerman. To 8-year-old Bella, her family is her world. There's mommy, dad-oh, and Grandma Ruth, but there's also other mommy, a malevolent entity who asks every day,

Can I go inside your heart? When horrifying incidents around the house signal that other mommy is growing tired of asking Bella the same question over and over. Bella understands that unless she says yes, soon her family must pay incidents around the house. So creepy and such, such a fun read. If you're into spooky horrors, and it's also spooky season, I'm probably only a quarter of the way through it. I love it.

Okay. Other mommy starts getting kind of smart and she starts like doing the voices of other people trying to trick the kid. and anyways, this is one that I do think you should listen to because the voice acting is a little girl and then it's got to switch to like her mom and her dad and her friend and then other mommy and stuff. Anyways, incidents around the house. Yeah, that's very cool.

Yeah. Also would be probably a good show. Yeah, I wonder if now that like listening to books and books on tape is just so popular, I wonder if people will start writing books with that in mind. They do that. Yeah, it makes sense. It's like that one.

Yeah. I feel like the author had to be thinking about that, you know? Audible does, they'll have releases that are just books on tape. And a lot of times they're free. Oh, wow. Which is nice. Anyways, and then the last thing, I finished Buffalo Hunter Hunter. Effectively, it's interview with a vampire, but with Native Americans.

But it's good. The ending's fun. I didn't foresee the ending of how it was going to be. I enjoyed it. It brought it back into present day. And that's the fun thing about vampire movies or vampire stories is that they are, at their core, their time travel stories, because they don't die. So they span different eras of, you know, of time. That's very fun.

Buffalo Hunter Hunter. I really enjoyed, especially if you're someone who likes nonfiction, especially if you're someone who likes nonfiction about like Wild West or Indian stories. but then also as someone who likes vampire store. Like, it's so niche, but, like, very cool and, like, I think palatable for, like, a large range of people who enjoy reading. So anyways, Buffalo Hunter, Hunter, go check it out. Okay. Here's the reading machine these days.

I've been driving a lot, you know, because of the training for the marathon thing. I've been running a lot. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah. I'm tempted to be like, let's bring the music thing back because... I know. Because, like, it really only gets flagged. on Spotify. And we have a lot less listeners on Spotify than we do on Apple. And so like, yeah,

we are that they're taken. But also, if you are like a diehard YFT or you're probably listening to the episode in the first week and then they don't figure it out and pull it down for a couple months. And then I'm like, I don't care. You know? Oh, yeah, sure. I just don't know if they pull it down, then our numbers get ripped and then we get screwed. Well, yeah. Maybe that's a podcast nation question yeah anyways i wanted to play something just give it a try i've played this guy before his name's monrovia and i freaking love him dude he's so good this is a new song called whose face am i every passer mirror shows me someone i cry for and i want to know who's face am i That's Monrovia, whose face am I?

By the way, that guy is Nashville local. It's a very well sound. Yeah, it's not good. This band called Rhyman. Have you heard of them? No. They're also Nashville, and I love this song. This is so fun.

Oh, December to remember, we erase that stain on the pressure that was building. I think the winter Who fight that change And the weather Anything that I dream Falling into place Say my name We live that way

Kiss my face I think they're local as well There's a lyric in that song. that says like went to the basement east they took my ID or whatever and I'm like okay your name's the rhyman or rhyman yeah and you're seeing about the basement east you guys are little eastashvillians definitely yeah or maybe even madisons I feel like that's where everyone's going because they can't afford east Nashville anymore anyways that's all I got okay all right I'm off to Australia in a couple days dude are you so pumped or what I don't know I've really

enjoyed being home this past month so whenever I'm home for this long and then I don't want to leave. And then once I get back into like the cadence of traveling, I'm like more amped about things. So it's a little bittersweet. Like I'd love it. The weather's so nice right now at home. The leaves are going to start changing. So I'm hoping I don't miss all that. But I am excited to go and I've never been to Sydney or Melbourne. So I'm excited to see some new cities. And I've already had a few wife tears hit me and say they'll be at the show and want to meet up. So, you know, I always love getting to meet them in real life. And I'm sure once I get there, I'll be very happy to have some sunshine. Take some notes. I know you hate doing that, but take notes about the cool

shit you like about Australia. Okay. So you can talk about it on the show where we talk about our favorite things. Oh, that does make sense. You know? Yeah. Well, yeah, next time I talk to you guys, I'll be in Melbourne, so I should have some some next week. Nice. All right, why I have tears. See you later. See you all at another time. See you. See you on the bench. We're getting, oh, yeah. We're definitely going to fly. Here's the thing, though, if any band got angry at us for being like, we like this music. It's not the band.

It's BMI and ASCAP and yeah. Fuck those guys. I probably shouldn't say that, but. Probably shouldn't, but. Fuck them. We're trying to help me. We're trying to help young songwriters. literally you know we're basically heroes people are saying we're hero really is that what they're

saying yeah let me hear that lie yeah yeah
