We had the after show. So, you know, I partied like I was in the show, even though I wasn't, you know? Classic. Classic Wells move. So, yeah, I'm a little hungy, but we're going to get through. How are you doing? Are you drinking beer? Mm-hmm.

I've found that when I'm hungover, this is the best way to do it. Interesting. You also look like you got a fresh haircut going on. Say what you want about New Yorkers. Them barbers know how to cut a Portuguese boy's hair. I mean, it looks great. Yeah, and this is a bedhead, too. You know?

Yeah. Killer fade. This freaking, you know, old Italian man just zip, zip, zip, zip, zip. So that's what's happening in my life. Everything's falling apart. How are you doing? Well, it's not been a great morning. What happened?

I hate even saying it, but some of the YF tears might care, you know, so I'll let them know. Okay. My pig puddles. Yeah. Crossed the rainbow bridge this morning what yeah it was awful puddles freaking puddles man um what happened to puddles well puddles is kind of old like miley got her god i don't even know what year miley got her so long ago she and her buddy daisy like lived in malibu for so long until the fire and then

they we evacuated them during the fire and then brought them here and they've lived here ever since um so i don't even know how old she is but she's she's up there okay and um the girl that works for me was feeding everybody this morning and texted me at like 7 30 a.m and said that puddles seems like she's having a seizure and that i needed to come down and so i like shot out of bed tossed on some clothes ran down the steps and when i got down there she was gone i'm sorry that sucks so sad it was really traumatic i do think it was better that i didn't just go find her dead because then it's like then you wonder like what happened the not knowing is really awful when you just go and find right like yeah a pet just just gone like it's it's better to know

what happened so at least we kind of know it wasn't like another animal or something crazy yeah a sad morning what does one do with a dead pig oh we're gonna bury her on the farm okay yeah i'm sorry that wasn't my morning you know yeah do you not eat pork because of having a pig i don't not ever eat it ever but i don't i don't i don't wouldn't choose to go down down and have some ham you know it's not really it does feel weird because i have pet pigs but also i just am not crazy about pork bacon it's all right i mean i i genuinely enjoy turkey bacon just as much really i do i think your taste buds don't work correctly. No. But I get it.

I think I would have a hard time eating anything that I had a pet of. I've seen videos of cows jumping around like dogs, and I'm like, I can't eat that. Do you have a cow? No, I wish. I don't really have a cow. Why don't you get a little cow? They have little cows. Well, you can't just get one. You got to get two.

Why? I really don't have space for anything. Herd animals just shouldn't be alone. They should all have little cows. Well, you can't just get one. You got to get two. Why? I really don't have space for anything. Herd animals just shouldn't be alone. You know, they should all have a buddy. Do you have an alpaca? I don't. I don't have space. My capacity.

I've been to your place. You've got plenty of space. No, no, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't. Well, I'm sorry that Puddles passed over the Rainbow Bridge. But you know what? He had an amazing life and you gave that to him.

She had an amazing life and you gave that to her. It's true. Puddles has made appearances in some of Miley's videos. She's made appearances in some of my Instagram videos. She's famous. She is. I think she was even in the Gucci commercial, Miley shot. What? I swear.

I think they did a little Gucci thing here With bananas and puddles I just recall that happening She's like Tonka She's done a lot From Chimp Crazy Have you watched Chimp Crazy yet? Can't say I have

One day You're going to listen to me Might not be today No Well sorry to hear about puddles Yeah One day, you're going to listen to me. Might not be today. No. Well, sorry to hear about puddles. Yeah. R.I.P. Should I send you flowers?

What happens next? No, that's okay. That's okay. Do you want me to send you a new pig? Just your condolences are enough. Are you going to get a new pig? Maybe. I'd like to rescue one.

You know, that's always kind of my play. And with the rescues, typically I feel like they find me. That's always kind of my play. And with the rescues, typically I feel like they find me. You know how that is? Yeah. I feel like just the right rescue animals just come up at the right time when they need you. So I'm not going to be out there looking around for a pig,

but I'm open to the right one being brought to me. Okay. Well, you heard it here first, YFTers. If you got a pig, give it to Brandy. That's right. What is pie-in-the-sky barnyard animal that you would have that you don't have yet? Either a gear cow.

I think it's called a gear cow. Okay. Is that the right cow I'm thinking of? I have no idea. The one with the long ears? They're my favorite. Okay. Either one of those. I'm thinking of? I have no idea. The one with the long ears? They're my favorite. Okay. Either one of those.

Well, two of those, right? I need a pair. Or I think some sheep would be nice. Then you got to shear them. Yeah, but then you can make sweaters. Yeah. But sheep are so cute. Have you seen the ones that are like,

they have like the cream fur and the black face and feet? They're very chic. No, but when I was filming Traders in Scotland, I fell in love with the Highland cow. Those are cute. With long hair. They have gray haired styles. Very cute. You know?

God, my Italian barber could do wonders. Those things. Yeah. What's the worst barnyard animal to have? I think goats. Why? Because they got slit eyes? Oh, they are.

No, they're just messy. They shit everywhere. They eat everything. They escape from everything. They're tough. Tough animals. Do you have any goats? No.

That's good to know. I don't want them to shit everywhere. I want you to get an alpaca. Yeah, those are cool. Or a llama. They're cool. Is there a difference between a llama and an alpaca? I think so.

Huh, interesting. Well, my time here in New York is ending for now. Yep, just in time before winter hits. That's right, getting out before it gets... I wish I was here for the first snow, you know? The first snow in New York is beautiful, and you walk out to Central Park, and you make snow angels, and you think, wow, the city really is beautiful.

And if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. And then seven hours go by and then all the snow turns to black goop and it smells like crap and it's terrible. But for about three hours in New York, it is truly beautiful. That is true. I've come to love New York. it is truly beautiful. That is true. I've come to love New York. You know, I'm a California boy. You know, it's no secret. But I have come to love New York and I figured out a couple things.

Okay? Okay. Everyone talks about New York as being a melting pot, which it is. It is all these different people from all these different countries coming in one place. But I don't think that's what makes it special. I think what makes New York special is not that it's a melting pot. Maybe this is the same thing just said in a different way. But I feel like it's the only city in America where you can go out and feel like you're in a different country in every different restaurant.

And I think that is very, very cool. That's true. Because, so and also, shout out to I think it's on 52nd between 8th and 9th. I think it's called Taut Va Bien.

It's a French restaurant. And you know what I have a nose for, Brandy? I have a nose or a knack for seeing a restaurant and knowing it's going to be good or not. All right? Really? For whatever reason, I can always tell, like, that place looks like it's going to be good. That place looks like it's going to be good.

It's a pretty great town. I know. I'm so good at it. And so I walk Sarah to the theater every night, and I would walk by this French restaurant. I kept on being like, I want to go to this French restaurant. It looks so awesome. I want to go by this French restaurant. I kept on being like, I want to go to this French restaurant. It looks so awesome. I want to go to this French restaurant. So I started doing this thing where I would drop her off at the theater.

And then I would go to a new restaurant that I hadn't tried that I wanted to try. And the other night, I went to A Taute Va Bien on 52nd between 8th and 9th. And I walked in there. And my only requirement for this place is it needs to have a bar, because I want to sit at the bar and have a drink and talk to the bartender, because I am alone.

I do believe that a superpower that every person should have is the ability to be able to dine alone. It is very, very, it helps you out in a pickle, all right? And also, yeah, it lets you explore a city when you're alone, you know? Yeah. you got to

be able to do that and so what i did was i went into a tout va bien and i walked in there and the guy goes have any and i said just me can i sit at the bar and there was no room at the bar so he went and got another chair for me put down. Not a single soul in this restaurant spoke a lick of English. Everyone was speaking French. And that's how you know you're in a good place. True. I want to go into the restaurant. If it's a Mexican restaurant, I don't want a single soul speaking English.

Everyone needs to be speaking Spanish. If I go to a French restaurant, everyone's got to speak French. But speak English to me so I understand what the fuck you're saying, you know, obviously, because I'm a dumb American. But that's what I want, all right? If I'm in a Korean restaurant, you better be fucking speaking Korean around me, but then English to me when I order so I know what I'm doing. Anyways, I sat there, and everyone at the bar, even the patrons were French. Everyone was speaking French, except for he had to be 19 years old. There's no way he was old enough to serve drinks, but he was my bartender.

He was a tall, skinny, stereotypical, handsome French man. And I sat there, and I was talking to him for a while. I got to a point where I was like, you just bring me what you think, you know? Like, whatever. Just food, beer, drinks, wine, you do it. So he was just sending over all the amazing things. And finally at the end he goes, do you want a shot? And I said, no, no, no, I'm good, I'm good.

And he goes, it's free, you can have a shot. And I said, no, I'm good. And I said, you know what, if it's free, you take it. And he goes, I will only take it if you take a shot. And I said, okay, we take a shot together. He goes, yes, we take a shot together. And I was like, okay. I think his name was Ethan. Anyways, we took a shot together he goes yes we we take a shot together and i was like okay i think his name was ethan anyways we took a shot i got drunk with this 18 year i think he's 18 years old bartender and just a lovely evening wow and like that's what i was i was sitting there

thinking like that's what new york new york can do that other places can't i felt like i was in a little cafe in France. That is true. For like three hours. And that was really lovely. Yeah. Okay, it's not all roses here in New York. Hey, New Yorkers,

you've gone all fucking boy who cried wolf with the horns, with the car horns, all right? No one's listening to the fucking horns because everyone's honking all the time. The horn means nothing here. I know. You don't respect the horn here in New York. Everyone is, you're way too trigger happy with horn honking, all right?

No one's scared of a horn. No one's getting out of the way of a horn, and no one's fucking moving for the horn, all right? You're just honking for honk's sake. So let's tail that back. Let's reel it in. Wow. Yeah. Also, cops with your sirens, it's enough already.

All right. Just go. Yeah. Just go. Enough with the... And you know what they do? They do it like quick. Just to get around shit, you know?

They do. They do. Not an emergency. You just want to fucking get going. Yep. So. They're misusing it. They are.

They're abusing it. They're abusing the loud vehicular sounds, and no one listens. And also, I love an electric bike, but we got to slow these fuckers down, man. I've almost gotten my fucking nuts ripped off several times by these guys. These delivery guys just zooming. Yeah. You know, let's bring back the fucking pedals. Okay.

You are way too fast. But I do love a bike. I do love the city bike thing. You know, I think that's pretty cool. It's a good idea. They've gotten rid of the scooters here, you know, like Razor. Thank God, those are dangerous. Yeah, they fucking trashed up the streets, you know?

Yeah. Everyone knocks them over and shit. True. You know, turn signals are an important thing, you know? I agree. And they're an important thing for driving, you know, when you see if someone's going to turn or not, you know, it helps. You should do that.

But I think what people don't realize is that turn signals are also for pedestrians. What did you call them? Pedestrians. That's better. What did I say? Something weird. Pedestrian. Pedestrians.

Pedestrians. You know when you say... Pedestrians. Pedestrians. You know when you say... Pedestrians. Pedestrians. Yes. You know when you say a word too many times and it starts sounding weird? That's what's happening right now with pedestrians. But so in New York, you learn this way of walking through the streets, right?

Mm-hmm. You start figuring out which lanes are going which way and which way you need to look, you know, and you can cross the street even though you don't have the kind of like walk signal yet because you can see that no cars are coming down. But let me tell you something that really grinds my gears. New York drivers, if I'm if I can see that I could cross the street, even though it says don't cross because you have a green light and you're coming down the street and you turn left

but you didn't have your turn signal on, what are you doing? The fuck? I could have been across the street. Yeah, you could. And all because you couldn't do this? Click. You know?

Yeah. Learn how to drive. Do better. True. It is really fun, though, to become really adept at New York walking. Are you good at it? I'm pretty good at it, especially considering how little I'm there. Yeah.

But I imagine you came here a lot when you're younger i came there a lot like in my 20s yeah yeah yeah it's amazing you can it's so easy to see tourists when you're in new york oh yeah let me tell you something oh yeah i'd be i'd be darting in front of cars left and right to cross the street and i. And I'd be walking at the same pace as those New Yorkers. Oh, yeah. I guess I'm a tourist, but I'm not. I've been here long enough. I feel like I can say I'm not.

But New Yorkers are all like relatively things. They have to fucking hoof it so much all the time. You know, they're always walking. So you can always tell someone's a tourist when they're fat. You know, you're like, oh, you're from you're from Ohio. You know, you're because you're obviously not walking as much. They're also like, you know, they're fat. You're like, oh, you're from Ohio. Because you're obviously not walking as much. They're also like, you know, they can't handle it.

And you always can tell when New Yorkers will cross the street a little before they probably should. That's me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's me too. But non-New Yorkers are very much waiting for that fucking little,

the little walking light to turn on before they go. You know, I'll tell you the one thing that gives me away. Yeah. When I exit the subway and it says you can go to the Northwest corner or the Southwest corner or the whatever, there's always an option. Boy,

oh boy, does that just disorient me? Really? Coming out of the subway's always an option. Boy, oh boy, does that just disorient me. Really? Coming out of the subway. Always disoriented. Yeah, at first it was tough for me, but then you just have to think of it because it is just a grid system.

I know, but it's not like I can just like, I have to take a second to think about it, and that's what gives me away. Oh, I know. That's what gives me away. Sarah will be like, hey, can you stop, turn around, to have this bodega on the northwest

side? And you're like, how do you know what fucking side? What are you, Magellan over here? What, you got a compass? Yeah, it's in here. What's happening? They just got that. They do got it. You know? Oh, they got it. But yeah, that's kind of my New York stuff.

But I do love the city. Oh! This, just for some golf content real quick. Got to play a bucket list course the other day in New Jersey. Ranked number two in New Jersey. I think probably top ten in the country. Place called Baltusrol. Anyways, it was beautiful. And I shot 76.

I shot one under on the front, five over on the back. So I'm professional now. Sure. Yeah. Should we start the show? Yeah over on the back. So I'm professional now. Sure. Yeah. Should we start the show? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why don't you go for it? I've been talking for a while. Bros and hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with

Do you just go everywhere with Lainey Wilson now? Yeah, Lainey and I are just, you know, you buy one, you get the other these days.

That's a good deal. Usually they're buying Lainey and then I tag along, but yeah. Was it a Lainey Wilson song that you remixed? Yes. Got it. Makes sense. Did you go to People's Choice? You went somewhere where Caitlin was. I did. So People's Choice have, they now have the People's

Choice Country Awards. Got it. Here in Nashville Choice have, they now have the People's Choice Country Awards. Got it. Here in Nashville. Yeah, I was confused because I was like, we didn't get invited. Not that we would have gone because we were not in LA, but like. Yeah. This was in Nashville. Yes.

So the regular People's Choice already happened this year. This is the country People's Choice. And I got to say, it was at the Grand Ole Opry, which is super cool. And I really was very impressed with the production of the show they definitely put some dollars behind you know the stage production the screens were sick it looked visually it looked amazing in person so i can only imagine how cool it looked on tv you know because some of the award shows the stage production is just cheap and not good and i just was really impressed thought they did a great job with it and it was cool it was like a

it was like a casual laid-back award show nice which was nice you know because award shows can be stuffy and not fun and this one just felt like we were all just kicking it backstage at the opera and it was it was super cool i saw that kb was there she was there and also jason tardick they were all was it so dramatic i mean it wasn't but it was we we were definitely all in very close quarters yeah you know for a for a hot minute everyone was just right there together just crammed in nowhere to go and yeah did they talk i did not see them talk so i'm not sure did you talk to her about it um i i said i you know hugged kb we chatted for a minute we were kind of doing press back and forth together there for a sec i didn't even realize he was there until i

continued on and then i ran into him a second later and I was like oh shit that's crazy and then I turned back around to her at one point and I I was like I was like you and Jason are cool right like is this weird and she was like I mean she was like my ex is is here like it's my ex is here and I was like yeah if my ex was here I would not be happy yeah but honestly like she was you know KB she was super cool about it i i really gotta hand it to her i feel like she's been so uh mature and like handled all all of the press stuff with him like so well i just if it were me i would have a hard time with all that and i just feel like she's really handled it you know very very maturely well that's good i like them both so i

hope i hope the best for both yeah i mean you know, you know, it is what it is, I guess. This is why. Don't let me date a DJ because I don't like seeing my exes, you know? I don't want to have to run into them. If somebody breaks up with me or I got to break up with them, they're dead to me. That's just it for me. Yeah.

Don't want to see you. Cut that limb right off. Cut it off like a dead limb. Yeah. Get on over it. That's the way I like to do it personally. Speaking of the Bachelor people, have you watched any of Golden Bachelor, Jones, Journey for Love? I cannot say that I have.

I was a little bit of a boycott situation. I felt like they did my girl Jen dirty and i needed to take a break from watching the batch you know but my beautiful wife sucked me back in and um she we put on the first i watched the first couple episodes i gotta say the guys are all lovely really yeah they're all really nice guys like that's the thing i feel like it's going to be so boring because there's going to be no conflict in the house you know like the guys are just all like old rich retirees you know like i can't i can't imagine there being any conflict there's a french hairstylist that he might mix stuff up with did you ever see that Tim Robbins uh I think you should leave spoof on the bachelor where it's like I think you're just here for the

um the zip line yeah yeah so they ripped that off and there's a guy who just likes to do cannonballs in the fucking pool and so of course it's like i think he's just here for the cannonballs which is funny i mean it's a good bit but yeah it is you know it a little bit ripoff and he's so funny i actually saw it was someone tweeted they were like this guy's gonna give wells a run for his money for the being the bartender because he was like really really funny but he was kind of like funny in like a doofus way and then i got to thinking like am i the doofus-y way. And then I got to thinking like, am I the doofus? Is that what my role is? Because I didn't think of myself as that, but is that what I am?

Am I the doofus? Maybe. Anyways, I hope Joan finds love. Same. She seems so lovely. She's beautiful. Is Kelsey's dad still in the mix? Yeah, he's handsome. If he doesn't get picked, he's going to be The Bachelor, let's be honest.

Right, for sure. Has to. Like, what are we doing? Why are we even doing? Let's just skip to him again. We found him. I have some favorite things as it pertains to Broadway. Oh, well, do tell.

We went and saw The Great Gatsby the other day. That's on Broadway? Yeah. Sick. Who's in it? Jeremy Jordan is Gatsby the other day. That's on Broadway? Yeah. Sick. Who's in it? Jeremy Jordan is Gatsby. So he's like a big Broadway guy. Yeah.

Sarah's friend Eva plays Daisy, but she was out that night, so we didn't see her perform. We went backstage afterwards, so we got to see how it all works. Their entire stage is LCD screens. The set is moving constantly. Like, it's unbelievable.

You know those rides at like Universal Studios where like the car's not moving, but it feels like it is because it's kind of like going back and forth and the screen's going back and forth. So that's what they do in this. They're driving into town, you know, they're going to basically Tom's mistress's

whatever place to hook up. So they're in a car and the car's not moving, but the background's moving like it is, you know, and then they're doing like lights on the wheels to make the wheels look like they're moving. And it's absolutely mind blowing. There's a, there's a shot where Gatsby's walking, I think on his dock and he's like looking out towards, he's looking out towards across the sound to the green light to where Daisy is. And it's like the background's moving back

and he's moving forward. So it's like you're zooming in on him but you're the camera. Anyways, I can't really... It's so fucking cool how they've done that. They've completely changed how sets are working, you know? Uh-huh.

So for that reason alone, I say go see it. It's really, really cool. Nice. It's a great Gatsby. I love that story. I will say this, though. I hate Daisy. Well...

I fucking hate Daisy. Why did you do this? Yeah. You had, he's, it's Gatsby. He's a war hero and he's pulled himself up from his bootstraps

and made all this money doing it kind of shady, but he did it all for you, Daisy, and you're gonna, and you're not gonna leave him for, you're gonna stay with Tom who's just been cheating on you and Tom has lost all his money.

You know who hasn't lost all his money? Gatsby. Gatsby hasn't. Now, did he do it by selling illegal booze? Maybe. That's okay. I don't care about that. Yeah.

These old timey, you know, back in the day, it was all about old money and new money. Now, who gives a shit? As long as it's green. Money, baby. Money, as long as it's green, that's the money I want. I know. So anyways, I've always hated Daisy so much. She's a dumb bitch.

Whoa! She is. That was aggressive. I know, but she is a dumb bitch, and you know she is. And every time you watch it, you're like, dang it, I wish that she would make the right decision. Yeah, but if she made the right decision, then that would be a little more boring, wouldn't it?

I know. It's very true. You're not wrong. It's a great story. I love that story. It is. And I can't wait for next episode because I'm going to have like four other Broadway shows.

We're about to go on a big run before we leave. We're going to go to Hadestown. So I'll give you a update on that. I think we're going to go see Outsiders. Give you an update on that. I want to see Stereophonic. So I might be able to give you an update on that. And maybe one more.

Anyways, I've become quite a cultured Broadway boy. Yes, you have. But you are married to Sarah Hyland, so I would expect nothing less. I know. Anyways, do you have favorite things? Well, I watched something last night. What did you watch, kid? I didn't love it. Okay, great. Do we have like things? Well, I watched something last night. What did you watch, kid?

I watched it on Amazon. Isn't it Amazon original? Oh. I think it is. Our boy Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who I love. And it's Shailene Woodley, who I also love. Oh, no way. And it just wasn't great.

It wasn't. And also Richard Madden from Game of Thrones. I know. Sarah's friends with him. And so I was really excited about it. And watched it. And it was just slow and predictable. And I just wanted more.

Follows twin brothers who find themselves in a dangerous love triangle on an isolated Greek island. The investigation is given to the Jealousy Man, a wounded detective. Killer heat on prime. But apparently it gets a sorry i didn't like it i wanted to real bad yeah i chose to watch it over the new pit clooney movie that's out oh what is that called i think? No, I think it's called, like, Wolves? Two rival fixers cross paths when they're both called in to help cover up a prominent New York official's misstep. Over one explosive night, they'll have to sit aside their petty grievances and their egos to finish the job. Clooney, Pitt, Wolves.

What changed? The acting. So I watched it after I watched the first two episodes where he kind of makes the Menendez brothers seem kind of like doofus-y, you know? Okay. Like dumb.

Okay, they're just going to kind of like rip on these murderers, I suppose. these you know these murderers i suppose and then it made this like really hard turn from them being doofuses and like spending all their you know their dead parents money to they end up saying that their dad was raping them and that's kind of one of the reasons why everything happened the way it did you're prone to believe it because there are like letters that he wrote to his cousins and stuff they found to be like to kind of like corroborate like what they're saying. But there's one episode in particular, episode five. And if you don't watch the entire series, I just implore you to go watch episode five. But do not do it with any kids in the room. It is, I think, some of the most amazing acting i've ever seen and some of the best

directing as well and i did like on my story because i was like so blown away by it it's a one shot that never cuts for 37 minutes it's an over the shoulder shot so So I think it's Eric Menendez comes into the interview room with his lawyer and his lawyer. You never see her face. It's just an over the shoulder shot. So you see the back of her head and then you see Eric Menendez's character. about the sexual abuse or whatnot. How did it start? And for 36 minutes, it slowly racks in, so it slowly zooms in to him, so slow that you really don't notice it. And about 15 minutes into the episode, I'm like, fuck, they haven't cut yet. This is so weird. I haven't seen her face at all.

And then 20 minutes in, I was like, oh, this is a choice. Okay, I understand. This is the idea. And then 25 minutes in i'm like oh my god they haven't cut yet like he this is just one long monologue with like the most disturbing material obviously basically all about like incest and father raping them and all this stuff it's really really messed up and then at the end, and you haven't even, it's so slow you don't even notice it,

and at the end, it's all of a sudden just like right on his face. And the ending is just amazing. If you don't watch, I don't care if you watch the entire show, just go watch episode five. Just for like a master class of acting. Insane. Insane. entire show just go watch episode five just for like a master class of acting insane insane and oh i watched another thing that i really really liked okay rebel ridge have you seen that yeah

i watched the preview and didn't think it looked good okay so it's kind of cheesy, I guess. Okay. Like, I don't know what it is about me, but nothing makes me more angry than abuse of power. I don't know why. Yeah. It's not good. It really gets me going. TikTok figured this out about me, and it was a lot of videotapes of cops being total assholes when they pull people over or whatever and maybe so angry. Yeah. That's all this movie is.

It's this one guy who gets fucked with by the cops in Alabama. Turns out this guy is a total badass veteran, you know, Green Beret Taekwondo master and he fucks some motherfuckers up. It's pretty great. Okay. A former Marine grapples his way through a web of small town corruption when an attempt to post bail for his cousin escalates

into a violent standoff with the local police chief Rebel Ridge on Netflix. My favorite part is Don Johnson's in it and he's a total asshole. I don't know who this part is Don Johnson's in it. And he's a total asshole. I don't know who this guy is. It's Aaron Pierre.

He plays the main character. Beautiful eyes, this man. He's got really, like, green eyes. And so it's basically this guy, Terry Richmond, Aaron Pierre, fucking up Don Johnson, Chief Sandy Byrne. David Denman's in it. I think he was in The Office. Anna Sophia Robb

Who I've seen in other stuff What has she been in? Was she like a Disney or Nickelodeon girl back in the day? Or am I wrong about that? Oh she was in Soul Surfer The story of the surfer who got her arm bit off by a shark That's right Bridge to Terabitha

Terabithia I said that's what I said What did you say? What did you say? Terabithia Terabitha? Not Ibiza Terabithia. Terabitha? Not Ibiza. Terabithia.

I took a pill in Ibiza. Do you play that song ever? No. I like that song. It's a great song though. It's a great song. Yeah. What happened to Mike Posner? I don't know.

I think he probably just made a bunch of money and called it a day. And was done with that. Yeah. Kind of here for that. Kind of love that for him. You know, we talked about it on the live show, but I don't think we've talked about it on this. I finally watched a couple episodes of Secret Lives

of Mormon Wives. Oh, yeah, and you love it, right? I just think it's dumb, but yeah. They were all at the People's Choice Awards. I'm sure they were. Why? Don't know. We're making the wrong people famous. This is what I've realized. I agree.

So it's all about these Utah Mormon wives who effectively started a TikTok called Mom Talk. And they became kind of TikTok famous for fucking dances and bullshit, you know? kind of TikTok famous for fucking dances and bullshit, you know? And then for some weird reason, they all started soft swinging. So this is, the main character is this girl named Taylor. And this is her talking on The View. And they ask about the soft swing. And what is soft swinging? Explain that.

So swinging is where you fall on switch partners, like swingers, right? Yes. And so for us, we like opened up our relationship of like playing games and being intimate all in front of each other so we weren't like full-on switching per se you know yeah yeah so that's why they called it soft swimming which i didn't come up with that term by the way that was i was told that okay so that's that's an orgy my Right. I don't know what you think that is, but that's an orgy. When a bunch of people are in the room and everyone starts fucking everyone else, it's not called soft swinging. No. You're at an orgy. Yeah.

All right? They must not teach the Mormons that growing up. Yeah, you can call it whatever you like, but bitch, you had an orgy, you know? Totally. If you kill someone, you can call it soft unaliving, but that shit's still murder, you know? Yeah, you're right. People can talk themselves into whatever they want to believe. Oh, totally.

That's what I got to start doing. I know. I'm not unemployed. I'm soft hanging out. Right. Right. I'm practicing my golf. I'm not unemployed, Brandy.

I'm practicing golf and drinking Peronis. Right. Different. Totally different things. What are you talking about? Yeah. So anyways, their whole thing is when they started soft swinging, someone exposed them, this Taylor girl. And she kind of exposed everyone on social media.

And then so then no one knew who was part of the swinging club and who wasn't, and it kind of killed Mom Talk. And the whole show is predicated around, we got to bring back Mom Talk, you know? Like we got to do it for Mom Talk. Like as if Mom Talk is like St. Jude Hospital, you know? Like it's like something important. No one gives a fuck that MomTalk's gone.

I hate to say that to you. No. But the whole, the stakes of the show are we got to do it for MomTalk. Do you? So anyways, it's like one of those things, if it's a reality show and they've made the stakes something that I don't think are real. Yeah. It's like the Hills and it was like, is, are they going to get the internship? And it's like, there is no real internship.'t think are real. It's like the Hills and it was like are they going to get the internship?

There is no real internship. It wasn't real. It was never real. You know that, right? I could see some producer being like, okay, so why? What's the conflict here? We have to fix the hashtag that hasn't been used.

I love the end of the first episode, though. This girl, Taylor, she starts dating this other guy. So they're not wives? No. But then she thinks she gets pregnant. Wait, but it's called Mormon Wives. I know. She's not a wife.

Huh. And then she gets arrested for domestic violence because she gets fucking wasted. They're the worst Mormons ever. Are they even Mormons? Because if they're lying about being wives. Yeah. First of all, this is what I know about Mormons. Don't have sex before marriage.

You don't drink alcohol. You don't swing. You believe that descendants of jesus the israelites moved to utah so let me get this straight not only are you drinking you're getting fucking wasted you're getting arrested for domestic violence you're also sleeping with other people there's nothing about you that's mormon i'm pretty sure you're also sleeping with other people. There's nothing about you that's Mormon. I'm pretty sure you're just kind of a shitty American.

Is that too much? It's a little much. The Mormons are going to come for you someday. Are they? Yeah, they're going to come for you. All of them. You know what's going to be really funny is if the Mormons are right. Then what are you going to do? I'm going to be in hell. Join them? No. Get a couple more wives? going to do? I'm going to be in hell. Join them? No. Get a couple more wives?

Move to Utah? Polygamy's wild, by the way. That is a wild idea. Yeah. No, but I don't love that. They marry, like, girls that are, like, really young. There's one girl that got married at 16. Bleh.

Bleh. Hey, you know how we used to make fun of how every indie band these days, they sing like they got marbles in their mouths? You know, I'd always say that. You did that, but yes. Yeah. Yeah, it was a you thing. I saw someone made a TikTok that was Hallelujah, but sung by millennials.

I thought we would play it. I think it's pretty great. Hold on. I get it. Hallelujah, but sung by millennials. I thought we would play it. I think it's pretty great. Hold on.

I get it. Well, I heard there was a secret code that David played, and it pleased the Lord, but you don't really care for music, do you? To your heart. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. oh shit is that not the best thing you've ever seen? Oh, my God. It's so true, though. I don't know what this is. I wrote down eating the dogs and cats.

So this has got to be a Donald Trump thing. A Trump thing, yeah. Let's see what this one is. In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats. They're eating the pets. They're eating the pets of the people that live there.

They're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there. People of Springfield, please don't eat my cats.

Why would you do that? Eat something else. People of Springfield, please don't eat my dog. Here's a catalog of other things to eat. They're eating the dogs. They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs They're eating the cats They're eating the pets Meow, meow, meow I have to play that on my DJ set tonight.

Why don't you do that? Why don't you make stuff like that? Because I ain't got any free time. These people have so much free time. Brandy, if you want to make it in the biz, you got to do the cat song. I got to be making legit remixes. I can't be out here fucking remixing Trump's dumb ass, you know? I mean, you could, though.

No. You could. Nah. Do you have a favorite restaurant in New York? I really love Scarpetta. What's that? Where's that? What is that?

Bomb-ass Italian. Dude, I tell you what. New Yorkers don't fuck around with Italian food, man. Yeah. I mean, it's a fancy-ass restaurant. Have you been to Carbone? Of course. Oh, that place is fire.

Carbone is great. You know, I do love the New York catch. There's something special about the one in NYC. Oh, really? Yeah, the LA one's just not the same. It's not as good. But that New York one's really bomb. Scarpetta, though.

Scarpetta's fucking good. It's probably my favorite place to eat. Sarah and I are trying to figure out, we're going out with our parents tonight. And I'm like, when should we go to Carbo? That could be a good one. I know. We'll do a couple voicemails before we go. Yeah. By the way, real quick,

I'm not really watching it, but I'm like watching it via proxy of my wife. Joey is killing it on Dancing with the Stars. Really? He is apparently quite the little dancer. I mean, I'm kind of not shocked. Yeah, I mean, he's a tennis player,

so he's got good footwork. Yeah, good with his footwork. Yeah, makes sense. Yeah. And he's a little guy, and you know, I feel like the smaller guys are better dancers. In comparison to basketball players. But, like, he's not that – he's, like, my height.

And I'm not a little guy. I think he's shorter than you, right? I mean, maybe a little bit. I just think, like, whenever those bigger, taller guys get on there, they, like, aren't as, you know, like – what's the word? Light on their feet, I guess, for lack of a better. All right. All right.

So, all right. This one's called reading okay so this is wild and it's not really a favorite thing or not a favorite but it's just an epiphany i had from my 12 year old who you know well you're always talking about how you are on um like you know podcasts and you listen to those, and you listen to audiobooks, but you'll say that you read something. And I am the same way. I hate reading, so I don't actually read. But my 12-year-old and I were talking one day, and he said, I asked him if he finished the podcast that he was listening to at school. And he said, yeah, I got done reading it.

And I said, you didn't read it? And he said, no, I did read it. And I said, no, you didn't. And he said, well, I know that's because I watched it. And I said, well, you didn't watch it either. You listened to it. He said, well, I really did watch it. And he was like, I mean, it's all the same thing because it's all a movie playing in your head.

Huh. Well, then I realized in that moment that I had no idea what in hell he was talking about. I do. Huh. I do. Huh. A movie is playing in his head, and that doesn't happen for me. I read a book, and it is words on a page, so I hate reading. And, Wells, I'm just curious if that's the same for you. Is that why you don't like reading? Because nothing happens in your head when you're reading. And I didn't know this until I was 42 years old. So, I don't know.

I think it's wild. But I'm listening to your podcast right now. Nice. And you were talking about the Mormon show. And I have a Mormon friend. And I set up a viewing party with her when the show comes out. Amazing. So, anyway, love listening to you guys.

And have a great day. Bye. Bye. I totally understand what that kid's talking about. Yeah, but she doesn't. Yeah. Well, when you read books, are you envisioning it in your brain? Yes.

Me too. A hundred percent. A hundred percent. And then also when I'm listening to books, I'm just totally just, it's a movie playing in my head. But a lot of people don't have that. Really? Yeah. Oh. Which is really is really really crazy all right want to do one more one more then you gotta go yeah this one's called religion howdy um okay so this sorry

brandy this might be mostly for wells but uh i was listening to the podcast uh from i guess like a couple weeks ago, and you had mentioned about churches and cults and everything, and I just cannot believe that Wells, as like the kind of person we go to for this kind of information, how you have not once touched upon the Word of Faith Fellowship. What? And I bring this information to you as I just recently discovered my mom has some family members that are a part of this. You truly, though, you should Google it.

It's nuts. And I don't mean to say that in the stance of saying in front of people that are a part of it, but also, like, I just don't understand how you can be a part of it and not be like, wow, this is kind of outrageous. So look up, yeah, the Word of Faith Fellowship. Look up their rules. They have like five things you're allowed to do and then 145 things you're not allowed to do. And I think some of my favorite things on the list include no cargo pants, can't drink

ginger ale, no black tennis shoes, just a lot of really silly things like that. Okay. I feel like there was also another thing, but I forgot it. So if I remember it, I'll call in again. All right. Au revoir. Okay, bye. Hey, do you another thing, but I forgot it, so if I remember it, I'll call in again. Alright, au revoir! Okay, bye! Do you want to hear some of the rules? I do.

Okay. Dues. You will be required to attend every service. If, for some reason, unforeseen at this time, you miss a service, you'll be required to listen to a tape of the church.

This is somebody just trying to get tax exemption. Like, right? Don't check out during singing. Fucking nuts. Don't look around at others when you're supposed to be singing don't close your eyes when singing apparently singing is a big part of this fucking place don't take pictures doing regular service don't make your own recordings of service don't bring visitors unless someone in the office so they can tell Jane. I gotta know who Jane is.
