Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Already regretting the espresso martini

Episode Date: September 10, 2025

This week kicks off with a PSA, YFT’ers: don’t drink espresso martinis if you want to sleep. Wells learned the hard way, so you don’t have to. Fresh off zero rest and a Disneyland trip, he’s got thoughts on croc charms, Mickey ears, and why the duck pond is way more fun with a gummy or two. Meanwhile, Brandi’s up to four dogs at home (thanks, Matt), and wondering how many more she can handle. The BIP reunion pod Wells hosted was high on chaos, low on tea, and has us asking: is it time for a Bachelor reboot with someone totally new? Rounding things out are fave things galore — from Netflix thrillers to Hallmark horse romances to Carrie Bradshaw maybe never learning a thing. Buckle up, we love ya!

Mmkidoki. Oh, what's up, everybody? How we doing? I got zero hours of sleep last night, and I'll tell you why. I did it to myself. I recognized that. We went to Disneyland yesterday, which was really fun. It's kind of Sarah's big, like, going away party before she goes back to Broadway.

I thought it was a good idea to drink a lot of, of espresso martinis. So anyways, I went home. I did fall asleep and then woke up at 1 o'clock and haven't been back to bed since. It's now 8 o'clock in the morning. Don't drink espresso martinis. Drink regular martinis like an adult.

Let's call Zay brand die. Branditha. Espresso martini suck. What's going on? Oh, just sitting here with this nice heated thing on my neck. What is that? Is that a shawl? No.

It's like one of those. It's like rice in there. Oh, Sarah has that and it smells so bad when she microwaves it. Well, it feels amazing. Does it? And I see you're wearing a beanie and a hoodie. I don't know what the temp is out there in Los Angeles, but here it is crisp. It is cool.

Oh, nice. It involves fall. It is so nice. but it makes, you know, having this, like, neck heater on just so great. It's not cold here yet. We went to Disneyland yesterday, and I sweat so much. So much. You go to Disneyland a lot.

I do, you know, and it's not, I like Disneyland, but no one likes it as much as my wife. True. And she rules us with an iron fist at Disneyland. there is no time for dilly dallying. It is, we are on a schedule. That's how I would be if I was going. I want to get it all in. Oh my God.

Everyone was like, can I get a turkey leg in a hot dog? And it was like, you could eat when you're dead. Let's go. I would be the same way. Yeah. And then we watched like World of Color at the end and she cried. She didn't even cry at our wedding. She cried at a fucking water light show?

Not one of my favorite things. What's your favorite ride? at Disneyland? Disneyland, it's either Soren or Guardians of the Galaxy, which is like Tower of Terror. Yeah, that one's my fave. Haven't been in so long. It was fun. We had a great time.

Gotta love it. But I ended up drinking too many espresso martinis kind of at the end of the night. I was telling the YF tears that I came home. I fell asleep. And then I woke up at like 1.30. Haven't gone back to bed yet. You're kidding. No.

So. Well, that's terrible. Never drink those fucking drinks. Those drinks suck. Call me crazy. I know it's a very popular drink. It is. I mean, they are good, but it's just like, hmm.

I love coffee, but espresso martini does not do it for me. No? So I have a couple things about Disneyland. Okay? Okay. Kind of want to get this off my chest real quick. Let's hear it. You know, the only thing worse,

than someone who wears crocs just in a social setting. Oh, that's my boyfriend. The only thing worse than that is someone who has like knickknacks and paddywax on the crock. They've got like little buttons and little things. Yeah. Little trinkets. What the fuck are you doing? Guys out here, okay, this makes no sense.

At what cost, I ask you? At what cost? The whole point of the crock is that it's got holes in it for good ventilation, aeration, if you will, of the sweaty feet. And then now you're doing is you're coming in there and you're plugging the holes with these little fucking knickknacks and paddywax. Now there's no ventilation and you look stupid. At what cost, I ask you. At what cost? At the cost of individuality, wealth.

You look, first of all, you're wearing. crox. Have you ever worn crox? Yes, they are very comfortable. They're so comfortable. They are house shoes. I never had them on my feet until Matt and he bought me a pair and here we are and I fucking wore them to Flower Child yesterday. Like I'm the person you're talking about. Great. No. Mine don't have charms. No. No. Brandy, their house shoes. Be an adult. Well, they were barn shoes. They were for the barn. Even better. And they're so comfortable. The horses aren't going to judge you. Going to Disneyland and going to be on my feet all day long. It's running shoes.

The play is running shoes. But the crocs are so much more comfortable because of the ventilation. Yeah, but you look like an asshole. Well, once you're almost 40, comfort is king. No, I'm sorry. They are house shoes. And the only thing worse is someone who's like collecting fucking knick-knacks, dude. I ask you at what cost.

Just put on some fucking new balances and walk through life. All right? What about, what about the Balenciaga? No, that doesn't make it any better. That just makes, that just makes you more of a sucker. Because not only are you paying for ugly ass shoes, you're paying a lot for ugly ass shoes. Well, Balenciaga's entire, entire thing is that their shit's kind of ugly and they call it fashion, you know? Yeah, anyways.

So that's what I've got to say about people who wear crocs in social settings. I'm immediately judging you. And if you've got little knick-knacks on there, no. But the only thing worse than that, Brandy, is a man. In flip-flops, I agree. No. Flip-lops can be done, especially poolside, okay? No.

But if you're wearing pants, no flip-flops. That's not what we're at right now, all right? We're somewhere else. We're back at Disneyland. Let me tell you something. A girl can wear many ears all the live-long day. Cute fucking accessory. I'm here for it.

They've got all the different things. It's great. But let me tell you something. guy, heterosexual man, you can't wear the ears, okay? Mm-mm. That, it just, it's, you are immediately, I know, I know exactly who you are if you're wearing the ears. If you're with your girl and you're holding her hand with the ears on,

let me tell you what happened. Your girlfriend, who won't be for very long because she's going to realize how very effeminate this is, paid for everything, and she's making you wear those things. Because no one wants to wear. No man wants to wear a headband. No. With ears? I don't want to wear a headband.

Anyways, every time I saw one, I was like, ah, it's worse than my eyes. Has Sarah ever asked you to wear the ears? Yeah, I think I wore them, I think I wore them to like a breakfast, and I was like, guys, I can't do this. Okay? I'm not that guy. I love to see that photo.

I know. I was like, like, Pluto came up, one, take a picture, and I was like, I took a picture, and I took a picture, and I saw the photo, and I was like, this has got to come off. All right? I'm going to kick my own ass. So anyways, but Disneyland's fun. Those are my two rants about it. Yeah.

The people watching at Disneyland's exceptional. Yeah. You know? I got a little stoned at Disneyland. And I never get stoned. How did you do that? Can you take weed into Disneyland? Well, you can do gummies and stuff.

I feel like they let you bring candy in there, right? Gotcha. Anyways, I spent like 20 minutes. looking at the ducks that's Sarah's like what's wrong with you and I'm like

I'm eating a goat someone might have given me a gummy but look at this duck you know what speaking of getting high I've been having the weirdest dreams

have you and I like don't ever remember my dreams usually but I'll just like every now and then I'll remember like a tidbit

yeah and you know what just what just came to me is that in my dream last night I smoked some weed oh you did Yeah.

Were you wearing fucking crocs? Uh-uh. Thank God. No, I think I was at a pool party. Ooh. My dreams are so weird and random. Do you think that your dreams mean anything? I don't know.

I think sometimes that when you have recurring dreams, that there's something to that. But I don't know about one-offs, you know what I mean? But, like, I do remember a time in my life where I would continually have a dream where I, like, had lost something and was trying to find it. usually it was an animal like ever was missing or whatever astra or whatever it is and there's probably something to that you know the subconsciously the recurring dream that I have that a lot of people have is that I forgot to withdraw from a class in college and it's now time to take finals

and I'm not prepared oh and I don't know what the point of that one is but everyone has that one it's a glitch in the matrix and maybe not you did you went to MTSU for like two semesters it didn't really count. Yeah. I didn't have any worries. Dude, I was at dinner last night with a bunch of people and I was like, I think I'm the only one who graduated from college at this dinner, which made me immediately think I was better than everybody else. Of course, as one does. But I'm not. Yeah, I mean, people obviously still go to college, but I would feel like in entertainment, you don't see it as much. No, they don't. You don't need to do it. Once you realize what you're going to do, you just go do it. Yeah. And also, like, I think I went to the easiest

college to get into. I think they, I think Old Miss accepts 99%. This is not like hyperbole. This isn't a joke. It's like for real. I think that their acceptance rate is 99%. Interesting.

But you know what? I'm a proud rebel. Oh, we know. Proud rebel. We won this weekend, by the way. We'd be Kentucky. Hey, another shitty school. Are you going?

Don't you always go to a game every year or something? I haven't been in years, but I do want to go. Oh. Yeah. You want to start the show real quick? Yeah. Uh, go for it. Bros and hoes.

You're listening to your favorite thing podcast. Wells and Brandy. Dun, da, dun da-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-all. All right, Y-F2 years, y'all know how much I love skims.

I love buying skims for me. I love buying skims as gifts. And truly, I'm not kidding, you guys. The fits everybody scoop neck bra is my daily bra. I wear it. everywhere. The only time I don't wear this bra is if I'm riding horses or working out. But any other time, traveling. I even sleep in it sometimes because I got my girls done and you're

supposed to sleep in a bra for a while. It's so comfortable. It's undetectable under like white t-shirts, tank tops. This is also the bra I wear with my giddy-up tank. That's my sphere merch that's actually going online soon. And it truly is just the best. I also am obsessed with the fits everybody thongs. I wear them again with everything. It's the only the underwear I have in my drawer. And with the holidays coming up, they do usually come out with the cutest gift sets. I really am just so obsessed with skims.

Yeah. The United States, unfortunately. Yeah. Yeah. So Rain's here. Her name is Rain. How many dogs you got now, dude? You have fucking zoo.

fucking many way too many four only one of them's yours one of you know at this point though little unhappy or mine but yeah well i only wanted one right like i personally am responsible and was willing to take responsibility for one technically yeah three is a good number four is a lot especially it rains 90 pounds and what kind of dog is rain well matt and i were arguing about this as we do he says that she's a great dane mix and And I think he thinks that she's mixed with Mastiff. Okay. Well, if that's the case, she should be more than 90 pounds.

That's what I said. And I took her to the vet. I'm here taking care of her. Took her to the vet last week. And they were like, oh, she's a catahoula. And I've never heard of that dog. So I looked it up. She looks exactly like a fucking catahula.

That's like, she's not. I'm like, okay, but she looks just like one. Oh, a catahula leopard dog? Yeah. And I was reading the traits. I was like, this sounds exactly like rain. He was like, I've seen her parents. She's not.

And I was like, oh, can you have pictures? Can I see them? He sent me pictures of the parents and I put them into chat DPT and said, what breed a dog are these? And both of them individually came back with Cattahula. Yeah. So it's a Caterhula. So she's a Caterhula, yeah. Well, why doesn't he want to have a Cataula?

Because he thinks it's cooler to have a Great Dane and a Mastiff mixed? I mean, she's not purebred. I do think she has Great Dane in her. But she has a majority is for sure Cattahua. He is so crazy. Yeah, that's funny. He just wants to be right, I think. Yeah.

I think I'm finally in a emotional state that I can get another dog. Oh, I love that. We're here now. But now it's like, what do I do? What do I get? Because I really liked having a bloodhound, but there were issues with having a bloodhound. Yeah. I don't know about you.

I, like, when my German Shepherd passed, I fucking love German Shepherds. But it was hard for me to think about having another dog that looked so much like her. Yeah. I thought it would make me sad. So I went, I went far left and did the husky thing. So maybe you maybe do something different this time. I don't know. I kind of want to get a coon hound.

Oh, I love coon hounds. I feel like there's probably a lot. Like what I loved about having a bloodhound was that Coral was lazy. He just wanted to sleep all day, where I feel like a coon hound is going to be not lazy. So my brother Brazen has a coon hound. Oh, yeah? Is it a good dog? He's still fucking cute.

But I think he's hyper is all hell. Yeah. I know. I mean, I think to honestly, the best dogs are the ones that are mutts. I agree. What if you did like a coon hound mix? I know. I need to keep my eyes open.

But here's the thing. Sarah is going to go do this run on Broadway until March. And I'm not, she said I'm not allowed to get a dog because she wants to be here for the puppy stage. Oh. So I got to wait until then. So anyways, I got some time to find. You got some time. Yeah.

Yeah. It's pretty wild. Like, I know this is so obvious. but there's just so many dog breeds. Like the catahua. Like I don't even know about the catahoula. Like there's just so many. And it is like so crazy.

But yeah, I guess think about it. I will say though like a golden retriever. God, you gotta love them. They're just. You do. But is that really like your kind of dog? There's nothing. The dog doesn't say much about you.

It says you're a white person living in suburbia. But they are really lovely dogs and kind of like easy. Other than the shedding, easy to take care of. They are. Yeah, they're good dogs. My sister has one. When will she be giving it to you?

Great question. Never, because I can't have any more. Yeah, right. Shifting gears over to Bachelor in Paradise real quick. Did we start the show? Yeah, we did. So I hosted the after show or the reunion or whatever you want to call it. Uh-huh.

At the Ayrheart Studios. You can listen to it. on Bachelor Happy Hour, and you can watch it on YouTube on Bachelor Happy Hour, a complete shit show. I'm going to be honest with you. I tried to listen to it and couldn't. Yeah. To settle for clips on TikTok. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, I'm a little upset with IHeart being a audio company and trying to put SM 58s in front of everyone's mouth instead of just putting on motherfucking laughs. I was like, dude, why are we not putting lapel mics on these people? You think that you're going to be able to get them to be perfectly in front of the mic the entire time? Well, this is what we got to do. What are you talking about? This is what we got to do. Go get 12 loaves. What will we do it?

Yep. I got there like the day beforehand and we did like a run through and everything. And I was like, we're doing loaves, right? Just so like you can give me a mic if you want. But like everyone else is on love. And like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we get there and I see them setting up stands. And I'm like, well, this is going to sound like hot garbage.

And you know what? It's going to fall on me because I'm the one host. It's justing it. Anyways, I was a little frustrated by that. But it turned out to be okay. Total freaking shit show. I don't know if I got any answers. I had a lot of questions. I didn't really get any. Well, it was like, okay, Sean, you say you've got receipts. Can we see the receipts? Well, no, because the guy that I'm friends with that he used to date cat and doesn't want to be involved. My guy, I need a little more than that. He doesn't have them. I don't know what he's got. Two highlights were like, what's going on with Sean and a,

Alicia and Cat and Dale and like their hatred for each other. And then the other thing was like Jeremy Susie thing, Andrew being really annoyed at Jeremy and Bailey because Andrew was like, first of all, we invited you to stay with us in Chicago. Alex called and apologized to you. You guys came to Chicago. Apologized there again.

And then you go on podcast and you're saying that like, you know, you don't have my back. And I apologize. You know, it's like, I apologize. Right. Which I kind of like I can understand how annoying that would be Being like but I totally I was wrong you were right. I'm sorry and you're still kind of using this That was the two things that I thought was kind of interesting very interesting

Yeah, yeah I just I think the thing I was most disappointed about was like Sean not coming through Yeah, I know, like nothing was it Blake had some receipts about some shit and and put them out and got like fucking obliterated for it? Yes, yes. So I wonder if he was, like, afraid to do that for some reason. Yeah, but that was, the Blake thing was, I think, about the stage coach with. It was, yeah. With, um, Christina and Kailen and whatever.

And that almost kind of seemed like, like a little bit of shut slut shaming. Yeah, well, but could this have been, maybe this seemed the same way? This is just infidelity. I don't know. I don't know either. This is what I think happened. I think all of those people went to pair of them. Nice with a side piece back at home.

Completely. They're all too handsome and too pretty not to have side pieces. I know. Anyways, that was the end of that. I'm kind of glad it's over. Yeah, I bet. That was a lot. A lot.

It was a lot. It was a lot, but it's over now. And now we'll see what happens going forward. Oh, okay, yeah. What's the next Bachelor season to air? Is it Golden Bachelor? Golden Bachelor, and then I think they take a couple months off, and then they filmed The Bachelor

and they haven't announced who it is, but I've got a feeling from like the rumblings that I've been hearing that it's not someone from the franchise. Thank God. I've been saying for years they need to pick someone that's not in it. Well, here's the thing.

It's twofold. You like to have someone from the Bachelorette because you know how they're going to react on TV. You know how they are. You know, it's important to be able to like, if they will feel comfortable kissing in front of a bunch of like sound guys and camera guys

and like you want to know how they're going to be an interview all those things of like if you're going to make this TV show you want to make sure that these people can do the thing they didn't do another bachelor out right after Jen's season right? Yeah. There wasn't anyone that like kind of like came out of this

Bachelor in Paradise that could have been a bachelor. Maybe Jonathan no. Okay, fair enough but maybe Jonathan I guess. I think the one that I think that they could have been if things had gone differently was Dale. Yeah. But things went differently. Yeah.

I don't want to see Dale as The Bachelor anyway. I don't think I do either. I don't think I need that. No. So anyways, I don't know. Maybe having someone new and fresh will give it the hoops but needs. Well, here's a question. Do you think that the Bachelor will get the same upgraded look?

as Paradise God. Yeah. It'll look completely different, right? Yeah, because Scott's doing the show. Yeah. So that'll be interesting in itself, in itself, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you have any favorite things, bro?

Let me think about this. I do feel like there's not shit on television right now. Oh, yes, there is. And I'm going to tell you about one here a second. So because I can't find anything I want to watch, listen, guys, I'm very aware that the spinoff of sex in the city is not great. Like I'm very aware that compared to the OG sex in the city, this show is trash. But sometimes when you have nothing else to watch, you just, you know, throw it on.

Kind of like the new seasons of Grey's Anatomy. Like, it's not good, but we watch it, you know? So I cruise through, I think I have like one episode left of the new episodes. It's called in just like that, this new season on HBO. So spoiler alert, if you give a shit and don't want to know what happens. Fast forward here a minute. Why did we go back to Aiden? You know?

Like, why did we go back to Aiden? I know, but like, it didn't work out before. You have a big piece of shit. I don't know. I just, I feel like he's got a lot of baggage. He's got the kids. He wants to live in Virginia and you're going to live in New York. And like, what's the fucking point?

You know, did we really think this was going to work out because I didn't? And lo and behold, it didn't work out. Mm-hmm. You know, I don't know. Shockingly, Carrie made a bad relationship decision, which I feel like that's the theme of the show. It is, but like, can't we give her some sort of redeeming arc in the spinoff? Like, can't we just let Carrie mature and make better choices?

And no, we can't. She didn't. Fall is in full swing. And you know what that means? It is time to buy some new fall clothing. And fall is my favorite season to shop for. I love layering. I love sweaters and cardigans and jackets.

It just makes it so fun to style outfits. And one of my favorite places to shop for fall pieces right now is Quince. I've been talking about Quinn's for a while and I'm such a big fan. Quince has all the elevated essentials for fall. They have things like 100% Mongolian cashmere from $50, which is an incredible price. They've got washable silk tops and skirts. They have denim and they even have a lot of really great home items right now. I bought some towels from Quince and I hadn't bought new towels for so long. and they're such great quality. They come in these really nice, big sizes. I'm such a big fan. I would say, though, my favorite piece I have from Quince is their 100% cotton boyfriend sweater.

I have it in three colors. I just took it with me to Jackson Hole. I was so excited to be able to wear a sweater. And I got so many compliments. And it's such a nice piece of clothing that I got for such a great price. Keep it classic and cozy this fall with long lasting staples from Quince.

They're on like travel teams and and stuff. Their family, like their parents are friends with the other parents and they all travel together and they all like each other and they're all like, you know, as thick as thieves. And then all of a sudden, the little girl, Lauren, starts getting these crazy text messages from an unknown caller being like, your boyfriend doesn't really love you, he's with me, you don't give blowjobs, he wants blow jobs, he wants sex. This is like a 13 year old girl, like a 14 year old girl, like Jesus Christ. And then the boyfriend starts getting these text messages.

messages too and and it just doesn't stop it's constant it's like they'd go to bed they'd wake up with like 35 text messages it gets really truly really graphics really fucked up it's like it's kind of stalking it's not kind of stalking and they can't figure they're trying to figure out who it is they can't figure out who it is and the parents get involved the parents go to the school and we're like what was going on here like it's happening at school it's obviously like a student because like they know like certain things you know like they're like a lot of texts little little girls like real skinny and blonde, you know, she's athletic. So it's like a lot of like, you're anorexic,

you got to be flat ass. Anyways, so they go to the school. The school's like, not a whole lot we can do. We can't take everyone's phone away. You know, la, blah, blah, and it's like, of course, that's terrible, like it's so dumb. So then the police get involved and the police are trying to figure out and they've got like this dossier of a thousand pages of text messages.

It's fucking wild. And the parents are all up in arms and they start pointing fingers left, right, and send at the bully. Chloe Chloe. This, this, the cousin, this, boom, boom, boom, going after everybody. Anyways, you find out who it is in the end. And I'm not going to ruin it for you. I'm not going to ruin it for you because you. When did this happen?

A couple years ago. Like 20. Like happened kind of like in the middle, like before, during, and after COVID. Okay. Anyways, you find out who it is. And I need you to go watch it because then I need to talk to you about who it is. Okay. How many episodes?

It's like one, two-hour documentary. Oh, easy. I'll watch it on the flight. Yeah, you're going to love it. Okay. And we have to talk about it because. Oh, my God. Because it's your favorite show you've ever seen.

It's really good. And no one, I was really annoyed. Is it like an adult? That's what I picture. Like a parent? Wait till you see. Okay. Teacher.

I need you to go watch it. Okay. The principal. I need you to go watch it. It's going to fucking blow your mind. Okay, okay. Anyways, yeah, it's just fucked up. This poor little girl, I feel so bad for her.

Yeah, it's tough out there being a kid. I'm so fucking glad that I am not a kid right now with the iPhone situation. Yeah. No thanks. My space was bad enough. I think the thing is, I think as parents, everyone needs to come together and be like, we're not doing phones. I know. Everyone can have an Apple watch.

So if you need to get a hold of me or call an Uber, you can do that. But no phones. No. Yeah, I think like social media, you got, you should, you know, it used to be that if you wanted to be on Facebook, you had to be in college. I know. You had to have an EDU email. I think we should go back to that. I think social media should be like you get it when you go to college.

That's it. Yeah, I'm with you. Anyways, you need to watch that documentary. It'll blow your mind. First on my list. I saw the new Superman. Ah, how is it? James Gunn.

It's good. It's really good. It sets it up well, I think. You know, James Gunn does a couple things really, really well. He's a good storyteller, but he's always heavy on comedy, which it's set up well for that. You've got some funny people in it that I think for like the next couple will really drive the story. The Lex Luthor character, I didn't love so much. I feel like they really, Superman's supposed to be like so impenetrable, unstoppable.

And they made them very vulnerable. And I'm not really sure why, maybe, because they want arc with him. Yeah. Anyways. Have you seen it? No, I haven't. Oh. Anyways, I like it.

I like James Gunn. I like how he goes about it. But it's so funny because Superman's D.C., right? And D.C.'s whole thing for the past, like, forever has always been dark, ominous, real, you know? Yeah. Dark Knight, Joker, all those things, which are, like, real and gritty and, like, just hard to watch. You're not hard to watch, whatever. have the MCU, which is like bright and saturated and, like, funny, you know?

And James Gunn was like, we're going to do the MCU thing over in the DC universe, which I think will be good for the DC universe. Where do you watch this? We rented it on Apple. Okay. I actually do have one more. Oh, great. I forgot I watched this.

This is not some, like, insanely great show, okay? This is an easy watch. It's very cheesy, hallmark vibes. Yeah. But sometimes that's what you want, you know? Totally. Not you necessarily, but women. Yeah, the majority of the people listen to this podcast.

Sometimes we just need a Hallmark movie. Got to have it. And listen to, I don't watch Hallmark movies. Like, I have a really hard time when they're that cheesy. But this one involves horses. So I was in. It's called A Thousand Tomorrow's. It's on Netflix.

It's like a short series. I think it's like six episodes maybe or something. Fun fact. Okay, so this was a book turned into a show. And the author of the book, her name's Karen Kingsbury. she her whole family like our close family friends of ours I was in her daughter's wedding back in the day like I've known I've known her for a long time read her book like in high school it's like a long ago she wrote that book and recently she's been making like a couple of I think like Hallmark type movies and stuff and they turned this into a show it's funny because she's been trying to get this turned into a show or a movie for so long and I feel like it's it's one of those things where like we're like like the timing it's so I'm so glad that it didn't come out before because I don't think people would have cared as much because now cowboy culture is so huge that now I think the show's

doing really well because of that and so I love that for her what's the name of the show it's called a thousand tomorrows and it's about this girl who is a barrel racer on the rodeo circuit and falls in love with the bull rider and I don't want to ruin it for anybody but she's sick she has an illness. Oh, God, here we go. And yeah, so, like, you know, her whole thing is that she really shouldn't be dating and because she's going to die and, like, all this stuff. And her, like, one last wish is to, you know, rodeo.

Fuck the cowboy. Oh. And she had a barrel racer and, like, all that. It's just, you know, very cute. Very, very in your feels. But if you like Yellowstone, Ransom Canyon, any of those, this one's for you. Follows Bull Rider, Cody Gunner. What a name.

And the enormous cost he would be willing to pay for a few seasons or just a thousand tomorrows with the person he loves more than anything. A thousand tomorrows on Netflix. Okay. I would say they look like they actually are good horse riders, but bad actors. That's what. Exactly. Okay.

That's what it looks like to me. Like the main girl, I don't know her name, but she's, I can tell that she's actually done a lot of her riding shots. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the, when the, the, the actual, like, racing scenes she's probably not doing, but all the up close

of her getting on the horse, galloping off, like, she's doing a lot of it. She's very comfortable in the tack. Like, she's definitely a rider. How do you get to be, why don't you just go be a extra? Huh? Why don't you go be a, like a body double? Yeah, you know, if DJing slows down, sure.

I mean, if nothing else, just to, like, get your foot in the door, you know, No, I know. I know. Yeah, trust me. Like, the minute I stopped making this much money, DJing, that's probably what I'll do. Or like I've always thought, even like, not even like a riding stunt double, but even just like the person handling the horses on set. Like, I could totally do that, you know. How much money are you making it? Enough. I wish you weren't making that. I wish this podcast would make us a million dollars.

Same. I'd quit everything else. Talk to you for an hour a week. I know. I'd talk to you for two hours a week if we could make a milly. What would we talk about? We can't even do an hour. We can't even do an hour here. I don't know, but for a milly each, I'd figure it out. Yeah, you'd watch some more shit.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have one more little thing. Tell me. I finished. Well, the season finale came out of the summer I turned pretty. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

And shocker. Spoiler alert. Shocker. She and Jeremiah break up. Mm-hmm. Which we all knew was going to happen. Typical. I think it was the season finale.

It might not be. But all I know is wedding called off. Jeremiah, Dunzo. Are we shocked? No. Typical. Jeremiah and the bullfrog. Yeah.

Oh. Yeah. I have another thing. Have you seen, I've seen it on TikTok, the trailer for the new Wuthering Heights adaptation with Margarabi and Jacob Allorty? No. You're not on this side of TikTok? No.

Oh my God. Okay. Did you ever read Wuthering Heights? No. What? Is that Emily Bronte? Yes. You've never read Wuthering Heights.

No, I'm a boy. That sounds like a girl. book. Okay. You need to read. It's one of my favorite books. What is it about? What is it about? You just go read it.

You just go read it. You, because you don't even remember. Just go read it. Give me a synopsis of what this is. They are making this adaptation with Margarabi and Jacob Allorty. And obviously like, what year was this, is this set in forever ago, right? Let's see. It was published in 1847.

Is that what it, is that when it's the time that it's set, I would assume? Weathering Heights. is the only novel by English author Emily Bronte, initially published in 1847 under her pen named Ellis Bell. It concerns two families of the landed gentry living on the West Yorkshire

Moors and the Irshaws and Linton's and their turbulent relationships with the Earnshaw's foster son Heathcliff. The novel influenced by romanticism and gothic fiction is considered a classic of English literature. I can't believe

you didn't have to read this in school. This sounds like a girl book. Okay, but it's really fucking good. And, okay, so everyone is up in arms because they're making this adaptation. And it's set in the 1800s, right? And so everyone's pissed because Margot Robbie and Jacob Allorty, people are calling it iPhone face, which is fucking stupid. But basically, they look too modern to be in this movie, apparently, is what people are saying.

They were pretty people back there, I'm sure. I know, right? And so for me, I assume. when I heard they were doing this. I assumed it was going to be like the Romeo and Juliet with Leo DeCat like Boslerman's Romeo and Julia. I figured like that was the vibe, right?

Apparently not so much. And the title like on the trailer, the title is in quotation marks, Wuthering Heights. So everyone's reading into that thinking like, okay, maybe this is like a very very fucking loose, you know, like not even an adaptation.

Yeah, like when they made it. by like 10 things I hate about you is really a taming of the shrew or Othello is oh but like yeah I don't know but so in the book Heathcliff is not white and they cast Jacob a lordy and people are fucking furious oh yeah I feel like that's a big part of it probably there's probably some racism so here's the thing though all right the people making this movie had to know they would get crucified for that right like they had to know that you you can't do that anymore so because they chose to do it anyway there has to be a point right maybe so i also think that in terms of casting if you get jacob alorty you kind of go with it

you know i mean like i don't know i don't know the story well enough of like ruining the movie i don't know i'm really curious i i'm excited to see it regardless just i love margarabi and i loved weathering heights like i even if it's not anything like the book i'm kind of excited to see it. Was, is the fact that his character is black important in story? Yeah, there. It's like the whole point of the story. That's an annoying casting decision then.

There has to be a bigger reason that they like did that on purpose. I don't know. I don't know what that could be. I don't know what it is. But yeah, it's just you should get on TikTok and dive into all the, all the theories about it. It's fascinating. But also if you've read the book, maybe not. But I think you should read the book.

All right. Personally. I won't. I think it's going to be good. Good. It has saltburn vibes the way it's shot. Is it the same director? I don't know. I think it's going to be really good, even if it's not like the book. But I am just really interested to hear like if they ever come out and talk about that casting choice more. Yeah. All right. Well, I think we did it. What do you got coming up? Coming to L.A. on Wednesday. Oh, are you? I'm leaving on Wednesday. How perfect. Look at that. How long are you staying here for? Just a few days. I'm doing sorry, we're Cyrus with my mother. And then Matt and I are going to a wedding. in San Luis Obispo on the weekend, and then I'm leaving.

Who's wedding? One of his friends, actually. Oh, you got to go meet. I haven't met. Oh. Yeah. That's always fun. All right.

Oh, yeah. Go into a wedding where you don't know anyone. So fun. I can't wait. Yeah. You're nothing if not just a social butterfly, you know? Oh, yeah. You'll flourish in that environment.

Don't worry. So fun. So, yeah, we're doing that. And then I have had this plan for so long. Matt and I are taking a road trip. Basically, we're going to fly into Boise. His truck is there. Flying to Boise and we're going to do a loop and do Jackson Hole, Red Lodge, Montana,

Bozeman, Stanley, Idaho, and then back to Boise. You're not going to Sun Valley? I did Sun Valley over the winter, remember? Yeah. Yeah, loved it, but, you know. Catch him's great. Yeah, catch him is great. But I've never been to Stanley.

I've always wanted to go. It looks sick. is that in Colorado? No, it's Idaho. It's not far from Ketchum. Okay. It's in the Sawtooth Mountains. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been there. I'm actually the most excited about that one because I've been to all the other. Oh, I haven't been to Red Lodge, but I've been to Jackson and Bozeman a few times, which I love. But Matt's never been to Bozeman or Red Lodge. So, oh, and we're driving through Cody, Wyoming, which I haven't. I have never done the park that way. Yeah, we're just going to do a little road trip and try to like turn off our brains and get off our phones for a little bit. Yeah. Nice. Well, I'm going to be going to New York to get Sarah settled for her new Broadway show just in time with Jonathan Groff.

I know. So I'll be out there. And then I also might venture over to the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black because golf is life. And then, yeah, her opening night, I believe, is early October. And then I'll be back here. And then I will be by Coastal. Oh, boy. Does she do this through the holidays, I'm assuming? Oh, yes.

So that means Christmas in New York City? Thanksgiving in New York City. Christmas in New York City. Lucky you. So glad we pay a mortgage at this place. Never here. Well, the work is paying for the mortgage. Yeah, that's true. That's how I look at it.

All right. Well, see you later. Yeah, I'll see you on another time. All right, and bye. Bye. This podcast has been brought to you by Podcast Nation.
