Let's do this thing.
I like that candle. Gotta set the mood for the YFDS.
Oh, it's once again that time of the year where anytime you take a shower and you use soap,
there isn't enough lotion in the world to not make you feel like a lizard king.
Where's all the moisture? Where'd it go? What happened?
Jeez Louise. Like a snake over here. I'm just at the point of my life where there's like two
muscles in my back that just always hurt. And there's nothing I can do about it to make that
better. I stretch every day. All right. It's that muscle like right underneath my shoulder blade.
And it must be because of how I sleep. I don't know. But like I'm at the point of my life where
like that just doesn't go away. But I've also been at that point in my life for
the past 15 years. Okay. So here's the thing, all you, uh, Gen Xers out there that love this show,
cause you're cool, that the adults won't tell you. You're just going to have like two muscles
in your back that are going to be like, fuck you and the ship you came in on forever. And that's just life.
It'll never get better.
Nothing you can do.
Oh, did I spend tons of money on like a masseuse to work those out?
Yeah.
Did every time I go in to see said masseuse, they said, oh, you have a huge knot here.
And I said, yeah, that's why I'm here.
And then they worked on it for an hour and charged me $100.
And guess what?
Nothing happened because my body said, don't care.
Rub it all you like.
This is life now.
Welcome to the danger zone.
I don't know why my body is in the movie Top Gun, but you know.
Let's see if Brandi's ready.
Uh-huh.
Okay. What's up you know what's a great snack that i sleep on often apples yeah like apples are so good and refreshing and like there's a lot of water content i feel like in apples so you're
like kind of hydrating it's just a great snack i don't do apples don't know why. I feel like you should give it a shot.
I feel like the skin always gets stuck in between my teeth and I got to deal with that.
And I'm just not here for that.
You know, you could technically get cut the skin off.
I mean, that's I don't do that, but you could do that.
Apparently, there's like a lot of toxins in apple skin.
I'm not sure if that's real or if that's something that I just saw on the Internet.
And then I just assumed I just assimilated that in my real or if that's something that I just saw on the internet and then I just assumed, I just
assimilated that into my real life.
I mean, I could see it.
Let's do a goog.
Apple skin.
My favorite apple
is a
Honeycrisp apple. What's yours?
Granny?
Really? Is Granny the one that's kind of sour?
Yeah. Granny Smith?
Hold on a second.
What are we doing in there, would you say?
Freaking dogs.
Can you hear them?
They're scratching at something.
Oh, really?
It's annoying.
All right, so here's what it said.
Over 90% of apple samples tested positive for two or more pesticide residues.
Well, of course.
Yeah.
Apple skins contain higher nutrient value than flesh.
However, they also tested for greater concentration of toxic chemicals.
Unfortunately, in some countries, conventionally grown apples are drenched in diphthalamine after harvest.
Dude, why you got to dip that shit in diphthalamine, guys?
That sucks.
I mean, when I was a kid, I was such a picky eater.
I refused to eat the apple, you know, this peel or whatever.
Yeah.
And so I always made my mom take it off.
And then as I became an adult, I was like, you know what?
I'm going to suck it up and start eating the apple peel.
And now you're telling me it's toxic.
I know.
You know what I want?
I want that.
I've seen it on the internet a lot where, like, you stick the apple or whatever you want to peel onto some tong situation and then there is like
an arm that comes out and like it spins the thing and then it d it d dip the howl of mines it you
know and that's what i mean nice yeah i need more fucking gadgets in my life yeah that's what i have
the gadget where it like cuts the apple
into slices for you you know what i mean oh you push it down oh yeah it's money yeah game changer
i guess but and then you have these nice little slices it does it does core it for you yeah yeah
listen um here's the other thing about apples you get apples you put them in your
in the refrigerator and then they last for like years i feel like and anything that doesn't die
after like two weeks can't trust it that's true you know like what's in there what's in there god
well it's because they have the peel that protects it i guess but okay what happened to the avocado then avocado said fuck
that rule that's true you know yeah i don't know and also i mean god did tell adam neve not to eat
the apple you know it's true dude you got the roan i feel like everyone's at the roan right now
no but everybody else has it i mean i already on wood, I don't have it either. I mean, I already had the Roan, so. You did?
Yeah.
You got taste?
I mean, I had it forever ago.
Yeah, but you got taste?
Yeah.
Do you ever lose taste?
Oh, yeah.
You did?
Oh, yeah.
And it's the worst part of it.
Yeah, well, aside from the dying part.
Wait, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, that part. I wasn't dying, thankfully.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that's what I'm saying.
The Roan has taken away all the things that I love to do.
Wait, do you have it?
No, I'm just saying like, just societally speaking,
it has taken away everything from me, you know?
And from a lot of people.
And then like the dagger in the heart,
the twist of the knife is,
the only thing you can do during this pandemic
is be a fatty McButterpants and sit on your couch
and eat and watch Netflix.
And then they took the thing that makes eating enjoyable,
which is the taste of the thing.
Oh, yeah.
What's Roan going to do next?
Figure out a way to become a digital virus
and take away our streaming services?
No, thank you.
That would be terrible.
I will say when I had the roan i was
really sick but by far the worst part is the no taste because if you can't taste anything it's
like you don't even want food you know yeah like i would take like a bite of something and just be
so repulsed that i couldn't taste it that i just didn't want to eat and that was pretty terrible
yeah i've talked to people about it and they're like,
then you become like into just textures.
Yeah.
But even that is weird.
It's like the texture of things becomes more like apparent and like a
bigger deal because you can't taste.
Yeah.
So it's very odd.
I hated it.
We got a buddy,
uh,
one of Sarah's like best friends who got it like right in the beginning.
Hmm.
She still doesn't have taste.
And smell. What? Yeah. She's got nothing.
I don't think I could
take that because I didn't have
taste for, I'd say, probably three weeks
and I was going insane.
I guess it would be kind of a
fun party trick, though. You could eat
an entire golf ball size of wasabi
and probably
like nothing would happen probably i mean i was like i think i've talked about before like my
friend kirsten she has this meal prep service whatever she cooks for me every week and she
like knows that i can't um i can't do spicy like i just cannot handle it so for me like the tiniest
bit of spicy is like so spicy to me. And she made me
something that week. I forget what it was. That was so spicy. And she was like, I hope this is
okay. Like I accidentally made it really spicy. And I was like, well, good luck for you. Like,
you know, like good luck. You have good luck that like, I can't taste this week. Cause I literally,
my mouth should have been on fire and I couldn't taste it one bit. And I was drinking like beet
juice, which I hate and a bunch of other stuff,, celery juice, ew. And I was like, well, I'm down in it. I can't taste it.
I guess that's the positive of it. Well, I guess I'm going to eat healthy now because it doesn't
matter. Yeah, totally. You're eating rice crackers. I mean, like, well, this could be a cookie. I
don't know. Could be. Could be a cookie. Could be. Oh my gosh. I love a cookie. I love cookies.
Have you ever been, I don't know if they have them
out there to this place called crumble no oh my god it is so good when i first saw this place i
was like how does some a place like survive just serving cookies right that's all they have and
they have like five flavors that are constantly rotating. And you're like, you stay in business just selling cookies.
Fuck yeah, they do.
They are the best damn cookies I've ever had in my whole life.
Are they crumbly though?
Because I want the business to be called chewy or like soft baked.
That's the kind.
Soft baked.
It's not as catchy, but yeah, they're not crumbly.
But like some of the cookies are served warm and some aren't.
Like it just depends.
And during the holidays, like they had a Christmas birthday crossover cookie,
and it was the best thing I've ever had in my whole life.
Oh, man.
Love a cookie.
It was so good.
You know?
Love a cookie.
I get it, Santa.
I am on board with what you are throwing down.
You know? I don't have milk anymore.
You know, what's funny is that like we used to just drink milk,
this fucking just crush milk as like a beverage.
My dad to this day, like not that we all sit down for dinner often,
but he'll have a glass of milk with dinner.
It's disgusting.
It's insane.
Who drinks just a glass of leche like that?
Ugh.
But I love cookies, but I only have half and half or like heavy cream for like cooking,
so I can't use it, you know?
I need cooking milk.
I mean, I have like almond milk.
Do you have almond milk?
No, bro.
I'm not a-
What?
Dude.
Jeez.
Freak.
Listen, I live in Hollywood.
It doesn't mean I'm Hollywood, all right?
Okay. So just no milk at Hollywood. All right? Okay?
So just no milk at all in your house?
No milk?
We're a no milk house, you know?
That's very odd.
We're not a no cheese house, though.
This isn't like, this isn't.
A dairy thing.
Yeah.
All right, let's get, let's start.
Forgot about that.
Yeah.
Me?
I think so.

Yeah, I need some cookie milk. Maybe you need to have some milk on hand just for cookies.
Because it goes too quick. Here's what I need. i need a package deal that comes with soft baked cookies a little
carton of milk you know i need those to come together because i can't have milk just rotting
in the fridge now you can't have it no that sounds terrible and listen none of us are qualified but
especially me not qualified to tell you if milk is good or not
anymore. You do the thing where you smell it and you're like, I don't know, this could be bad. I
don't know. How bad does bad milk smell? If there's a question that it could be bad, it's probably bad.
That's a thing, but it might not be. I don't know. My mom used to always do the thing where she'd
pour it. She would get to the next step of like, we're putting this in the glass and then we're
going to see what happens. She wouldn't even go to like the smell she'd pour it then she would always say well if there's
bubbles on top that means it's good and i just i thought that was that makes sense yeah i was like
all right this is gospel i guess you know that might not be true but it's the best we've got
to go on so we're i'm going with that from now on yeah there's the best we've got to go on. So we're, I'm going with that from now on. Yeah.
There's the date,
which that's suspect.
There's the smell test.
And then there's the bubble test.
I like the bubble test.
Same thing with eggs.
They're like,
well,
the eggs floating or if it spins off,
it's excess.
When you're like,
I don't,
how do I know that?
You know?
Yeah.
Do you know that in other countries they don't refrigerate eggs?
Yeah.
Well,
I think we have talked about this.
If you have like a chicken coop and you're like getting your own chickens or whatever, getting your own eggs.
Eggs.
You don't need to put them in the refrigerator because it has a protective casing around it, which gets stripped off, I do believe, in like egg factories.
And that's why all the eggs you get are white.
In like egg factories. And that's why all the eggs you get are white.
But if you have like a, like if you go to the farm and work or something like that and you get chicken eggs, they're always like different colors.
That's that like protective casing around it.
Well, I always buy the brown eggs from the store.
So does that have the protective casing?
Don't know.
Because they're refrigerated too.
I know.
I do the same thing.
But the brown eggs are always better.
I'm sorry.
Oh, yeah. There are a few things that you should pay top dollar for, and I'm going to
go through them right here, right now. Are we talking food? Just life. Oh, life. Got it. Always
pay top dollar for your toilet paper. All right. Always, always pay top dollar for your toilet
paper. Come on. Your butthole deserves better than that. Okay. And also hotels. If you are an
upscale hotel and you're you're coming at me
with fucking one ply sandpaper for my balloon nut never coming back number two always pay top dollar
for camping equipment that seems very random but okay you need it listen it's gonna be cold
because if it's the most expensive that means it's like the best and it's the lightest and you
gotta lug that shit in there and out of there. And you've got to be warm.
You need the best.
All right.
How often are you camping?
Would you say?
Never.
But I'm just saying this is just in my my commencement speech at a university.
I see.
The other thing you should pay top dollar for always eggs.
Oh, yeah.
Hands down.
Listen, guys, you got the dark runny yolk And you're only getting that from the brown eggs.
You're not getting that from like the white shitty eggs.
You're not getting that light yellow.
Not good.
Okay.
Do yourself a favor.
Spend the $5 on the eggs, guys.
And make sure they're free range because like we want the chickens to at least have a good life.
Yeah.
Even though you hate chickens.
I do, but I still want them to be able to have their freedom.
There, I do too.
I want them to be different colors.
You know, I don't want...
The white chickens freak me out.
You know?
Like, what kind of Aryan Nation situation happened over there?
I'm not sure.
I want some diversity.
I can't trust this all white chicken class.
You know, I guarantee you they don't have the same political ideologies that I do.
Brandy, you know, I'm all for a melting pot society.
And if all the chickens are the same color, then no, thank you.
What happened to the native chickens?
Good question.
You know, these are the questions that keep me up at night.
I can tell. Actually, I got i'll give a ding for this i got an app for my watch to track my sleep oh that's a thing well i had the whoop and i also had the aura band they do all the same thing
and then i finally was just like i've also got an apple watch i've got too many things monitoring
things then i got this app called what what's it called? Sleepwatch.
And so it's been monitoring for the past like week.
And you think the Apple Watch app
is as good as the Whoop
and the other thing?
Kind of.
It's all the same kind of stuff.
They're all basically tracking
how well you sleep.
I just don't think I can sleep
with the watch on.
I'm not good at sleeping
with anything,
like any jewelry on.
Yeah.
They're all measuring the same thing, but what I learned is, and this is much to Sarah's chagrin, is that average time it takes me to fall asleep is six minutes.
Wow.
Because there's a little thing where you're like, when you're ready to go to bed, touch
this little button.
So I'd be like, all right, there we go.
And then I am out like a light and Sarah hates me for it.
I'm like that too. I fall right asleep.
Dude, clean living. I don't have any regrets.
Me neither.
I'm not up at night questioning my life decisions. Listen, I know what I'm doing with my camping
equipment. I know what I'm doing with toilet paper and I know what I'm doing with my eggs.
Clean conscience, baby. Yeah, baby. I'm out. I'm doing with my camping equipment. I know what I'm doing with toilet paper. And I know what I'm doing with my eggs. Clean conscience, baby.
Yeah, baby.
I'm out.
I'm done.
So we're recording this on a Sunday.
So we haven't seen the Bachelor episode.
So there is a world in which Sarah and I will watch this Bachelor episode and then record something.
About it.
So we
have something to say, I suppose.
That's good. Yeah. But there's also
a world in which we don't do that. And then you know
what? Because this show isn't a
Bachelor recap show. It never was.
And I don't
think a lot of people are coming here for that, but that is
content. So if we have time
for that, we'll do that. But we're just going to do the normal
show, which is a favorite things. And you have some favorite things bro oh my god okay wells you
have never been more right about anything in the history of me knowing you as you are about 1883
told you i love it so much i going to make a very bold statement.
Okay.
I almost love this show as much as I loved Game of Thrones.
Wow.
It's like up there with Game of Thrones for me.
That is a bold statement.
I know.
But so I obsessively watched the first three episodes.
Yeah.
And loved every minute of it.
And then I was so upset.
There were no other episodes to watch that I was like Googling it.
I was just so fascinated by it and saw that they had like a 30 minute, you know, behind
the scenes, like making of the series where they interview Taylor Sheridan, who I'm obsessed
with, who's kind of hot.
Actually, this is the first time I've ever seen him.
He's hotty.
And some of the cast and you just kind of see a little bit of the behind the scenes
because when you're watching it you're like holy shit like this is a huge production you know like
so many extras and so many horses and all those wagons and they're they're clearly out in the
middle of nowhere like it just seems like a very large production and so whenever there's something
like that like I love watching them behind the scenes
because I just love, I don't know,
I love the idea of how many people it takes
to make an episode of something or a movie.
Like I just am fascinated by it.
So if you love the show,
highly recommend the behind the scenes.
I have a question.
I have looked her up on IMDb,
so I kind of know the answer,
but like is Faith Hill an actress?
Has she been in anything else?
Like Tim McGraw, like, yeah, he's an actor.
We've seen him in things.
But like Faith, I was like, were you pursuing an acting career?
Like, do you have a resume?
Or like, you just got the gig because you did the cameo in Yellowstone and here you are.
Oh, she does a cameo in Yellowstone?
They both do.
Oh.
There's like a flashback scene in one episode of Yellowstone where they show like John Dutton's
like great, great, great grandfather, whatever he is. And it's Tim and Faith. And if you watch
this behind the scenes making of 1883, Taylor Sheridan talks about it and they show it. And
he's like, you know, I wanted to do this flashback scene of Dutton's and I knew Tim and Faith were
fans of the show. So he was like, I literally reached out and just asked them if they would
do this cameo. And they said yes. And he was like i literally reached out and just asked them if they would do this cameo and they said yes and he was like so then when i came up
with this concept for this whole show based on this he was like it was just it was obvious to
me that it was tim you know and then i and i guess like then he was like man it was obvious that it
was tim and faith and you know you're not supposed to have a husband and wife work together on set
but oops we did i'm looking at her imdb right now and she hasn't done a whole lot she has no
she's done 1883 yellowstone an episode i think of dixieland don't know what that is you know i'm
sure it's on the cw i mean what a huge role in such a big production to be like your first real
acting gig you know i know well and here's the thing tim's great she's like take the lead i mean yeah totally well
i'm glad you like h and a3 and i'm glad that finally something that i suggested you are into
even though it's really a yellowstone thing but yeah sam elliott's great and then so good i love
the younger girl i mean the blonde girl that's like narrates the whole thing well i'm glad you
like that um we've caught more up
on Yellowstone
and I can give you
some more things
that kind of annoy me,
but I will say
season two of Yellowstone.
Damn,
that shit is good, man.
It's real good.
Listen,
it's a gangster show.
Okay.
I'm getting a little annoyed
with Beth
being so horrible to Jamie.
I'm just getting
a little annoyed by it.
And here's the thing.
So you don't understand why she's upset for a very long time.
And then finally in season two, it's been revealed.
And sorry, spoiler alert, if you haven't gotten through season two.
But I feel like I'm way late on this.
So like, what are you doing with your life?
And it finally is revealed as to why she hates him so much.
Because she had to go
get something that rhymed with smushmortion. And he took her to some, I don't know, terrible place
where they performed a hysterectomy on her and he didn't tell her that. And that's pretty fucked up.
And I will agree with that. That's messed up. And I could see that could scar you forever. Now, here is my
defense of Jamie. He was also a kid too. They were both dumb kids. If she can be forgiven for
being a dumb kid wanting to get a smorshen, then he should be forgiven for not really knowing what
to do and taking him to the wrong place. She's so vile to this guy. She tells him to kill himself at some point.
Straight up, it's like, you should do this.
This is a good idea.
It's a horrible thing to have happened, but it's a little overkill for me.
I don't know.
Am I way off on that?
I mean, just keep watching because Jamie starts doing some fucked up shit.
Yeah, but he's kind of been pushed into some fucked up shit.
Possibly.
But also, Beth's really been through the ringer too.
I mean, she's literally like kind of the, I mean, this is not really, but kind of like the reason her mom died.
Like it wasn't her fault, but like as a kid, I'm sure like you can't help but think that.
And like the way everyone treated her because of her mom dying everything like she's been through some shit
i know not to excuse it but just to say like she's so fucked up you know the other thing that
kind of annoys me is like the way that she acts uh it's like she's trying to do like Marilyn Monroe. Like, oh, hey.
This is how I talk.
But like kind of a badass Marilyn Monroe.
She's starting to bug me.
That's all I'm going to say.
I love her.
Yeah.
That's fair.
I mean, I love Rip.
I love her and Rip so much.
Yeah.
Love Rip.
I love KC.
Oh, and here's the other thing.
Dan Jenkins, the guy that wants to build the hotel.
I feel so bad for that guy the entire time.
I'm like, this guy, he gets hung from a fucking tree just because he wants to build a hotel.
You know?
Then he gets killed by the other guy.
Like, he can't catch a break. This poor guy can't catch a break.
I feel, and like, he's always the bad guy like the
marvel movies so like i wanted to hate him and then then i was like i feel so bad for dan jenkins
like what is going on here the other thing lloyd the old guy slamming ass with like the 23 year
old barrel rider don't get it kind of love it the show is just confusing. Alright? There's a lot of things happening.
Oh, man. How do you feel about... What is his name?
The guy that plays the guitar
all the time. Okay, so do you know who...
Because they pulled from prison. Do you know who that is?
No. Okay.
So it's Ryan Bingham, who is...
Who's that? He's a phenomenal
musician of whom
I own a lot of his records.
I used to have him on Lightning 100 a lot.
Oh.
I mean, he is a real musician and singer.
I mean, you can tell that watching it, I think.
He actually is from like either Arizona or New Mexico and was a bull rider.
He was a cowboy and a bull rider.
And then he would go, I think to his uncle's,
see there's uncles or his dad's bar and he would play guitar at the bar. And that's like kind of
how he was discovered. He was the one who wrote weary kind for the movie crazy heart. And I
believe he won an Oscar for best original song for that. I think I had him on my show years ago
and he was telling me the story of that
was that T-Bone Burnett had the script
and wanted to make the movie
and he wanted to make the movie with Jeff Bridges,
but he didn't have the song.
And then finally that song came out from Bingham
and then they were like,
we've got the song, this works.
And then they went ahead and made the movie,
which Bingham is in Crazy Heart.
So anyways, I love him.
And so he's gone right now, but I have a feeling he's coming back.
Yeah.
He's not the best actor, but I think he's like maybe going to be one of the most compelling characters.
Yeah.
My thing with him is like he is just always kind of like a B story, you know?
And I just keep waiting for them to like make his story more in the forefront of something
like they, like they, I don't know how far you are really, but they'll do that with Jimmy,
you know?
Yeah.
And it's like, they keep him around.
So I'm like, all right, at some point I feel like he's got to step up and have like a bigger
part in this story than what he's got.
I don't know.
I'm just like waiting for it.
Okay.
That's enough on Yellowstone in 1883 but good shows did you did you tell me or did someone else tell me
that they're also doing a spinoff show about the sixes was that you what's the sixes okay well you
don't know because that's why i was thinking it had to be somebody else um once you get to this
current season yeah what just aired um you'll that the sixes is another ranch and in texas that like they did it's like a
show horse thing that's connected to the yellowstone and um someone just told me that
they're also they also have a show in production that's a spinoff that's just based on that ranch
in texas which i'm excited about so which by the way i was like watching the commercials on whatever
it is paramount or peacock or whatever it is and
so we're watching yellowstone then it's like don't miss country land and like home home on the range
and you know whiskey saloon it's like all these fucking like all these shows country living and
tailgate life i was just like i had they just like you know what yellowstone work we're gonna All these shows, Country Livin' and Tailgate Life.
I was just like, had they just been like, you know what?
Yellowstone work.
We're going to fucking do just a ton of these shows.
A ton of it.
And just hope it works.
Yeah, probably.
Oh, man.
It's the American dream.
I guess so.
I've got some sci-fi shows that I think you'd be into.
Let's hear it.
some sci-fi shows that I think you'd be into.
Let's hear it.
So I'll start with the Korean show called Silent Sea.
Have you heard of it?
No.
It's really good.
So it's basically everyone from Squid Game.
Oh.
Here's the synopsis. During a perilous 24-hour mission on the moon,
space explorers try to retrieve samples
from an abandoned research
facility steeped in classified secrets silent sea so taking place in the future we have no more
water on earth everyone's on water rations and the world's kind of dying infant and child mortality
is just like abysmal so they send this crew up to the moon to go get
something you're not really sure what it is and there's like kind of like a crash landing and
they're able to get onto the moon base and some virus has spread through there and it's like
killed everyone that was on the moon base and there's been what you think are like pirates
that have come to the moon try to steal things from this moon base you're not really sure what
they're trying to get it's all classified so you're not sure if it's like if it's like a space
monster or an alien or a virus and you're not really sure why they're there and like what the
what this virus is doing to people and it's like kind of crazy but like
cool sci-fi weird take on a dystopian future and if you can deal with overdubbing like if you
enjoyed squid game it's kind of the same thing i would say it's not as good as squid game but like
man i don't know if we're ever gonna get a show like that again but silence c
on netflix very good okay i couldn't watch the game why not it was just too dark for me it was
too like black mirrory i think you like this one then because i know you like sci-fi stuff
and i love space yeah pretty cool pretty cool pretty I started a show. It's kind of an end of the world show.
Is it Station 11?
Station 11.
Thank you.
Have you seen it?
Yeah, we started it last night.
But what's funny.
How many episodes?
I think I'm two in, three in.
Okay, you are two in.
Yeah.
Okay, so I watched the first episode and was like, oh, I really like this show.
Yeah.
You know?
And then episode two starts and i'm like am i watching
the same show yeah well do you think it was super weird the way it just like kind of turned into a
different show it's two different time periods well yeah and the little girl in the beginning
of the show is the older girl mackenzie davison later on right so yes it's two different shows
because it's kind of like two different time periods. But I will say this right off the bat.
I don't know how long ago we have to go back.
Maybe two years ago, one of my favorite books was a book called Station Eleven.
Oh.
And now that I'm watching it, I'm like, I read this book, which is about a pandemic that takes out the entire earth and didn't even think about it in terms of like that we are living in this right now.
I know because it is obviously like in episode one, you're watching and you're like, OK, they're like banking this off COVID or whatever is what it seems like.
But now that we know it was a book first, the book came first, huh?
Yeah. And I remember reading it years ago
before the pandemic.
That's crazy.
Here's the tag.
A post-apocalyptic saga spanning multiple timelines
telling the stories of survivors of a devastating flu
as they attempt to rebuild and reimagine the world anew
while holding on to the best of what's been lost.
Station 11.
It's on HBO Max.
Oh, not Hulu, HBO.
Yeah.
My bad.
So yeah, it starts out with,
it's a production of Shakespeare during like regular times
and the guy that's playing the main character has
a heart attack and the guy that notices that he's having a heart attack that runs up there
and tries to save his life ends up becoming friends with like this little girl who's an extra
in the production of Shakespeare and then he's like trying to get her home is having a hard time doing it because the guy that died was one of
like the only adults that like helped her get home along with like, I think his assistant.
So they're dealing with stuff. So this guy has to kind of like take care of this little girl
all while the world is basically dying of this virus. Right. Yeah. Fast forward into the future,
the little girl's all grown up and she's a part of this traveling minstrel show
where they put on like productions of Shakespeare
and all that kind of stuff.
It's a little Walking Dead-y
where like the world has ended
and you don't really trust anybody.
Yeah.
But without zombies, there's no zombies yet.
Right, yet.
Yeah.
I mean, I think what throws me is the whole theater aspect of it.
It's just weird.
Yeah.
Should I stick with it?
I don't know if I can tell you that.
I remember I really liked the book.
Yeah.
I will say this.
The actress, that Mackenzie Davis girl, she does a lot of really good stuff.
Yeah, she does.
I like her.
You know, she was in Terminator.
She was in Black Mirror.
She was in Blade Runner. She was in Black Mirror. She was in Blade Runner.
She was in Tully.
Like she's done a lot of really good stuff.
So, and then Himesh Patel, he's also really good and he's done a lot of really good stuff.
So my mind is like, this has to be good.
This cast is way too good.
Right.
Okay.
Maybe I'll stick with it.
I don't know.
That was gonna be my other one as well.
I have just a quick bone to pick with the world.
And maybe this is more of like a bone to pick with myself and like my inability to like
just be a normal human being.
Let's stop making white hoodies just across the board.
I like white hoodies.
I do too.
They look so fresh.
So fresh.
The problem is, is that your boy spills on them immediately every single day.
Every single day, I whip out a new, fresh, white hoodie.
And it isn't seven seconds into my coffee that I've got some coffee on that thing.
You know?
I can't do it.
And I just look like an idiot.
And I just look like a slut.
If people really knew me and came over to my house, they would be like,
Jesus Christ, you and Sarah are monsters.
You are just filthy monster.
I hate to bring Sarah into this, but we are.
We just sit on the couch and just spill on each other or spill on ourselves.
It's disgusting.
Anyways, I am disgusting and I can't be trusted with white hoodies anymore.
So stop buying them for me.
Stop giving them to me and don't let me buy my own.
Okay.
I have a pro tip for you.
Okay.
I spill everything also.
I'm a complete slob.
But for some insane reason, whoever started equestrian sports decided that we should wear all white while doing the dirtiest thing possible,
right? Like with animal, like you're in mud and dirt with animals. And like, so I have to wear
these white pants when I show, and my whole ass is stained Brown from my Brown saddle. Like it
makes no sense at all that we do this. So I have done so much research on how to get stuff out of white clothing
here's the key you mix oxy clean white revive yeah i prefer the powder you mix that with this
stuff called out white bright laundry whitener and the way i found this out stuff is because
people use it on baseball pants when you like slide in that orange dirt and shit.
If you mix those two things together, it literally will take anything out of white clothes.
What am I, a fucking chemist over here?
I got beakers.
I got beakers full of different ingredients.
I got to mix them together.
I can't do it.
I don't have time for that.
Yeah.
And if you even want to give it an extra kick, you get the OxyClean Max 4 Spray.
And first you spray the stain and then you mix the two things into the laundry.
I'm telling you, whitest whites you'll ever have.
I don't trust white clothes like I don't trust white chickens.
All right?
I need some diversity in my life.
Thank you.
I read a phenomenal book.
Listened to a phenomenal book?
I absorbed the information.
Here's the thing.
Let me ask you this.
This angers me.
When you read, what do you hear in your head?
Do you hear your voice reading the story to you?
I think so.
Yeah.
So what's the difference between you listening to your own voice doing it and listening to someone else do it?
I don't know the answer to that.
I just like when I'm listening to like a podcast or an audio book, it literally it's like I can see it.
The words going in one ear and out the other.
And I have no idea what they said.
Like, I am just not a good audio learner. Like, I'm a visual learner. I need to see it for my brain to process it.
Yeah. So I'm the opposite because I'll go like three chapters and then be like,
what the fuck did I just read? And I'll have to like go back to be like, what was that all about?
But I can listen to a book, no problem.
Like I'm completely captivated.
Anyways, yes, I listened to a phenomenal book.
It's called An Absolutely Remarkable Thing
by Hank Green, okay?
I loved it so much.
Here's kind of like a quick synopsis of this.
Roaming through New York City at 3 a.m., 23-year-old April May stumbles across a giant sculpture.
Delighted by its appearance and craftsmanship, like a 10-foot tall transformer,
April and her best friend Andy make a video with it, which Andy uploads to YouTube.
They call the transformer Carl.
The next day, April wakes up to a viral video and a new life.
News quickly spreads that there are Carls in dozens of cities around the world, from Beijing to Buenos Aires.
And April, as their first documentarian, finds herself at the center of an intense international media spotlight.
Seizing the opportunity to make her mark on the world,
April now has to deal with the consequences
her new particular brand of fame has on her relationships,
her safety, and her own identity.
And all eyes are on April to figure out not just what the Carls are,
but what they want from us.
An absolutely remarkable thing.
So the Carls are aliens.
I'm not ruining this for you, but that wasn't kind of explained in that.
You figure out pretty soon that they are aliens.
They start leaving clues as to like what they want from us,
what they need from us.
And the other thing that they do is
they kind of infiltrate the human race's subconscious
where you, when you go to dream,
you go to this city
where you can like solve these puzzles and stuff.
It's kind of like Ready Player One,
but instead of like logging into a VR thing,
you just go to sleep.
And, you know, humanity thinks that like,
you have to figure out all the little puzzles in the dream world
before like they reveal themselves or whatnot.
And so it's like part Ready Player One,
part like First Contact.
And then the other thing that's really interesting
is part like dealing with fame
because this girl April becomes YouTube famous
because she's the first one who discovers one.
And she has a kind of like a closer relationship
with the Carls than anybody else.
It's phenomenal.
It's definitely gonna be a television show or a movie,
I think.
I've already bought the second book. And I was on TikTok today, and I follow this really funny guy
named Hank Green, who is very smart. He kind of explains science to people. So people like ask
questions on TikTok and be like, all right, let me explain it to you. This is why the sky is blue.
And then he'll like go into this whole rant of it and like explain the science. And I love him. And he's funny and interesting and like really good at this. And today I'm
watching Hank Green do his thing. And he starts talking about the book he just wrote. And he
throws up the book, an absolutely remarkable thing. I'm like, holy shit, you wrote this?
This is amazing. I had no idea. I follow you on TikTok because I think you're interesting.
But now knowing that you're the one who wrote this book, I love it even more.
So now I bought the sequel.
Can't wait to read that.
Anyways, an absolutely remarkable thing.
It's an absolutely remarkable book.
Go read it.
Definitely be a television show.
I actually gave it to Sarah and I was like, you need to go.
You need to go sell this somehow.
Make this into your own show.
It's so good.
Great book.
Love it.
What's the guy's name on
TikTok? Hank Green. And that's like his author name? Like that's the name on the book? Yeah.
And you just didn't put two and two together? No, because one, I don't like look at everyone's
screen name. You know, a lot of times they're just like weird screen names. And also like,
I just thought he was like a smart scientist. I didn't know he was a novelist, you know?
Right. Okay. that's cool but i
definitely did comment on that video where he's talking about the book being like i just finished
this book and i loved it i follow you did not know that you wrote this book so anyways really
good sci-fi thing and brandy i know you love it because one you love sci-fi but also like the
deconstruction of what fame does to people is something that you actually can relate to, especially in this like weird world of like viral sensations and like levels of celebrity.
Because she goes up the rungs of like Insta-famous to like Barack Obama Kardashian level fame, you know, like she'd go.
And so that part's really interesting too.
So anyways, love the book.
Yeah, check it out.
And then I'll read that.
I'm gonna read the next one.
I just downloaded it.
How many are there?
I think, I didn't even know there was two.
And then I saw him doing this Instagram thing
or this TikTok thing.
And I was like, oh, there's another one.
I'm gonna go read it.
So the next one's called Beautifully Foolish Endeavor.
They're sequels to each other. They're not different, completely different stories.
Yes. I believe that this is like the second book in the Carl story.
I see. I see. Got it. You know, I love a trilogy.
Oh, I know.
The world loves a trilogy.
Who doesn't?
Have you seen that there is a, I think I wouldn't call it a documentary because I think it's a scripted, limited series.
But they're doing a show based on Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee.
Yeah, of course.
And Seth Rogen is in it.
Yes.
It looks like it's going to be so good.
I couldn't, it didn't ever say when it comes out, though.
Do you know?
I don't know when it's going to come out, but I'm excited for it.
It looks good.
I need to figure it out.
That looks amazing.
Have you seen the Beanie Baby documentary? No. Oh my God. Well, it is my childhood. Yeah.
Like everything about it. It's fascinating. Did you collect Beanie Babies? No. Oh my God. I
literally had them all. I had them all. And it's funny, my grandmother, we call her Mammy. She was
the one that like got them for me. It was for me and Trace. For some reason, Trace and I, I guess
everybody else was too young. Trace and I were obsessed with Beanie Babies and my grandmother
was equally obsessed because she was the one that bought them all for us and collected them. You
know, we collected them, but it's hilarious to watch this documentary because it's so crazy it's so
crazy like the timing of it that beanie babies and and the frenzy of it were at the same time
that like the internet became a thing and aol and people and people were grasping like how
powerful the internet is right at the same time this beanie baby thing was happening yeah but
it's so funny because it's all a bunch of moms that were obsessed with the Beanie Babies, not the kids.
Really?
You know?
Yeah, it's really funny.
It shows, like, the kids start out, like, of course kids like stuffed animals and stuff.
So they're like, yeah.
But it's the moms who were psycho about collecting them and beating the other moms and getting the ones the other moms couldn't get and all this stuff.
And it became this, like, kind of competition between moms of, like, who could get their kids the most Beanie Babies and who could get, like, the limited edition ones and all this crazy stuff. And it became this like kind of competition between moms of like who could get their kids the most Beanie Babies and who could get like the limited edition ones and all
this crazy stuff. So if you like documentaries, I think it's pretty fascinating. And it's just
crazy if you grew up. I mean, I was born in 87. So if you grew up, you know, in the early 90s
and were part of the whole AOL generation and like the Internet first becoming a thing and
and all that, it's just insane.
Did you have the princess dye beanie baby?
I sure did.
Oh, wow.
I don't know how much that's worth now.
Nothing probably?
Nothing.
Yeah, that's the crazy thing about it
is like, and it just proves the value in something
is what people make it.
You know what I mean?
I mean, who decides what has value?
It's like, like sneakers, for instance. It's so fascinating to me that sneaker culture is such a
thing and that these sneakers that you buy for 160 bucks, you know, on the Nike website resale for
thousands of dollars. Like, that's just so crazy to me. Like they're made in China, you know,
but it's, it's the demand. Like they're so smart. They only make so many and it's the demand. And
because this sneaker culture has decided these shoes have this value and people buy
them like that's what gives them the value.
I don't know.
It's just all fascinating to me.
Yeah.
It's like NFTs.
I don't know what the fuck that is.
I don't know if I want to know.
Someone gave me an NFT as a Christmas gift.
Oh, wow.
And I think that's like the modern day way
of giving someone like,
I got you, I made a donation in your name to some fund.
And you're like, no, you didn't.
You didn't do it.
I don't know what this is.
This is nothing, I don't think.
And I think it's all a scam.
I saw something where people were selling an NFT
to themselves saying that that NFT was worth $2 million.
So they bought it for themselves for $2 million and then said that the NFT is now worth $2 million.
And then sold it for, I don't know, a million dollars where the person thought, wow, I'm getting such a great deal.
I'm getting half off last time this thing was bought.
And then they've made a million dollars.
And then, of course, they bought it for themselves. So they didn't
lose any money and it's all a scam. Everything is a scam these days. Blockchain, Ethereum,
Bitcoin, NFTs. Someone tell me what to do with my money. I'm i'm starting to feel like you know when you see
those commercials like old people have been like you should invest in gold everyone knows gold is
the safest i feel like that's where i am now you know because who decided gold has a certain value
like it's all the same thing like nothing has value until until the masses say it has value
it's like the beanie babiesies, like, who decided these
stupid beanbag things could be
worth so much money, but they were at the time.
It's just crazy.
It's wild to me.
The world's a crazy place.
Crazy place. Update on
Machine Gun Kelly and
Megan Fox's weirdness.
Mm-hmm.
This was a actual quote
that Machine Gun Kelly posted.
It said,
she said,
how do you feel?
And I said,
I'm lost.
And she said,
let's find you.
Oh!
Trying to be so artistic!
Dude, come on.
If your guys' conversations are really like that,
please invite me to a dinner party
because I will not stop laughing.
I'm going to take four edibles
and I'm going to just not be able to stop dying laughing
at the things you say to each other
because no one talks like that
unless you're in a Nicholasolas sparks novel which i think that
these people think that they're in i think that they think that or do they just say these things
on public platforms for the reaction i guess and you know what here's the thing they're right
because i'm talking about it and like yeah maybe that's like your shtick like i guess on my social
media like me being funny in captions is like, well, that I think works.
And to them, they're like, well, if we're like super deep and like people think that like we're, you know, like tapped into the cerebellum of love, you know, then the people are going to be into.
I don't know.
But also, no one talks like that.
No one talks like that.
Do you talk like that?
Obviously not.
Do you know anyone that talks like that?
No. No. And if they do, they're on drugs they're probably yes they're probably the ones
buying nfts oh for sure yeah they you know that they're nft blockchain i don't even know that i
think that's the thing that you know they are diverse they are diversified in blockchain they
have sold all of their gold to someone else.
The other thing that I saw that I just thought was amazing.
So did we ever talk about the Island Boys?
I don't think so.
Did you ever see what the Island Boys were?
No.
Oh, my God.
Randy.
What is that?
They're like these two kids from, I guess, the islands.
I don't know.
They have like crazy hair.
Was this a TikTok thing?
Yes.
They have this song
that was like,
with the island boys,
little bit of teleport,
because with the island boys,
and they're like terrible singers
and they're like all tatted up
with like crazy grills and stuff.
And everyone kind of made fun of them
for a couple of weeks.
It's like,
look at these kids,
but they made,
I'm sure a ton of money
off of TikTok and all this stuff.
So anyways,
they're on Cameo now.
Okay.
Oh. And this is why your, they're on Cameo now, okay? Oh.
And that's why your boy don't do Cameo,
because you don't know who you're making these videos for.
So this guy did this to the Island Boys,
and it's just, I mean, it's not funny, but it's really funny.
All right, so it's been a hot minute since I got celebrities to shout out,
like Ivan Milat and Rolf Harris. So I thought I'd give it another go. In the news lately,
Ghislaine Maxwell, the one who helped Jeffrey Epstein on his island with all the massages and
that, who is more fitting to shout him out, shout her out than the Island Boys, viral stars. Let's
see if they do it an island i'm your lady you know he's getting massages right now he's chilling he really do
by being here oh my god what has this gone viral is that how you know about this
oh my god oh it's so not funny but it is funny because they're the Island Boys. And because Jeff Repstein had the sex island, it just works.
They don't have the wherewithal to realize what they're talking about.
It's just chef's kiss.
But it's just so good.
That's why I don't do cameos, though.
You know?
It's true.
That is sketch.
Sketch?
Mm-hmm.
So funny.
You got any musics?
We don't do this anymore, so we don't get sued.
I don't know.
Who's going to sue us?
People.
The people will?
Oh, yeah.
I don't think so.
I think.
All right.
Well, I wanted to play something.
Can I play something? You could just talk about it.
Yeah, but I like to play something to go out on and stuff, you oh yeah oh do you want me to do erotic very much or an erotic
grandpa you know how i feel about the erotic grandpas i would much prefer fuck you very much

You guys talk like you're 10 years old.
Please stop talking like you are texting. Fuck you very much. Happy face. I don't understand. Do we sometimes
stop talking? I don't think so. I don't understand that either. I mean, maybe they're confusing,
not finishing my words with my Southern accent, which I do think in my old age is getting very
bad. Sometimes I hear myself

I'm Tish Cyrus, that's who. Yeah,
you are. Scary.
Alright, send some more fuck you very muches, guys.
We get it. We won't do erotic.

I won't. Can Erotic Grandpa
just like read something else
