Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Bachelor in Paradise + Brandi’s Actual Paradise

Episode Date: August 7, 2019

This week on YFT, Brandi calls in from a secret exotic paradise that she cannot reveal, but we hear it is swarming with hot pool boys and she’s roughing it with sparking rosé in a penthouse hot tub. Like any good friend would, Wells reminds her that everyone listening will hate her for privilege, and she admits “I hate me” too. But speaking of paradise.... Bachelor in Paradise is here!! Brandi splurged $2.99 on iTunes to get caught up on the show before recording, so first reactions from episode 1 are discussed, including Brandi’s discomfort seeing how her friend Blake is being portrayed, Wells’ pep talks with Dylan about pursuing a girl out of his league (hi Sarah, hi Hannah), and about how Wells is three years older than the ‘grandpa’ of the Paradise crew (hi Chris B). We also have lots of new music recommendations, show must-sees, and tips to travel like a 79-year-old that actually will make your life amazing. Enjoy! Thanks to our awesome sponsors.

Yeah. And somehow we've done a decent job of flying under the radar. Okay. And my sister's having a really great time. So we're going to try to keep it under wraps until we're gone. My sister's having a really great time, so we're going to try to keep it under wraps until we're gone. Okay, well, I know where you are, so let me just say this. It's a very nice place that is not in our country, and you're just sipping a glass of wine right now in a very nice place. I also just had the best massage of my whole life, in case you're wondering. Everyone hates you right now. Everyone listening to this podcast hates Brandi Cyrus. I hate me, honestly.

You should. But you know what? Treat yourself. You deserve it. Treat yourself. Treat yourself. Expect a flood of Instagram content on Friday after we've left. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, I get it. So you got to go almost radio silent because people will freaking, the sleuthers out there, the Miley sleuthers will come after you. They will. And actually a few already have, and I have no idea how they figured it out. Yeah. But it's like a little frustrating. I know they mean well, it's it I kind of wish

the fans would really think about how hurtful it is to Miley when they reveal where she is it ruins her vacation when paparazzi show up then she can't go outside like it really does make it suck for her so to the fans out there that know where we are, I would just say to you, please don't put it on blast. Let her enjoy her vacation. She never gets to do this. Yeah. And it's sweet that you want to know where she is all the time, but you just got to keep it hush hush. I'll say this like people don't follow me around, but they definitely follow around my fiance.

say and to speak to that point the moment that you realize that people know where you are is the moment that you have to plan how you look before you leave the house and that ruins your vacation because you're constantly like i gotta put on makeup or whatever like whatever because i don't want a bad picture to come out and that sucks because then all of a sudden the whole point of a vacation is to relax. And then you're always on edge. So I get where she's coming from. But I still hate you right now because I'm jealous. I'm just along for the ride, you know.

Hey, man, ride them coattails as long as you can. All right. No judgment here. Oh, God, no. Not coming from you not engaged in fiji you gotta be kidding me yeah but we split that vacay that was that was nice of you yeah speaking of vacay and beaches and all the things i just watched episode one of bash in paradise oh you did i just finished it. Oh, good.

I was worried that you weren't going to be able to see it, and then I would just have to tell you what happened. Oh, I paid the $2.99 to download that sucker from iTunes. You're welcome, ABC and NZK Productions. Well, then do you want to start the show before we get into that? Yeah, we should. All right. Me or you? You. Bros and ho hoes you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with wells and brandy

b.i.p numero seis coming at you have really you've really just could become the old man of the group that's been there done that now he's engaged you're handing out advice like slices of freaking pizza it's insane totally and you know what's so funny um chris bakowski is like you know like his intro is like him with a walker because he's like the old man who's been on five shows and chris pakowski is yeah three years younger than i am no way yeah i am above and beyond so much older than everybody else in that show and it's just funny because i don't feel like i'm older than them but i am um there there is one person that's your same age or i think i think she is is annalise isn't she about your age yes she is i think yes we're we were the same year you know it's really weird is that annalise and i figured out so annalise is from the bay area and um she used to

date this guy that i knew in high school she was like, I used to come down to Monterey all the time for parties. And I was like, if you dated this guy, then you definitely were probably at one of my parties. And so I was like describing what my house looked like and like where we would party in my house. And she's like, yeah, I've been to your house. Absolutely. So Annalise used to come to my high school parties all the time. That's insane. Really crazy. So yeah, Annalise. The world's so small. I know. I think she's a little bit younger than me, but I think we were the same year or she was a year below me.

But she dated a guy that was my year. Gotcha. I mean, did I give bad advice? What do you think? No. did i what do you think no that your big moment your big scene wells in this episode was you giving dylan advice about going to tell hannah g how he felt before she went off with blake yeah great advice and it was funny because they cut you off but i heard dylan at the very end ask you how would you word it oh yeah he wanted your what exactly you would say yeah word for word and i

gave it to him word for word he didn't need advice, though, because Blake doesn't take her on a date. I know. But it probably did help him even so, like, hanging out with her afterwards or whatever. I'm obsessed with how, like, sweet and innocent he is. Okay. In this first episode, at least. He is, like, a really sweet guy. I really like Dylan.

I just love when he was like, to be honest, she's just really out of my league. Yeah, yeah is. He is like a really sweet guy. I really like Dylan. I just love when he was like, she's to be honest, she's just really out of my league. Yeah, that was so cute. I know Dylan and I talked a lot about kicking way outside your coverage. Because because I feel like I'm the king of kicking outside your coverage, you know, 100 percent out kicking your coach whatever it is so we talked about it a lot and i was i definitely i then i think he realized that he he like tractor beamed in he was just like okay well wells figured this out so i gotta do whatever the hell wells tells me to do and i definitely did give him a lot of i feel like i gave him really good advice and i really like that kid. He's precious. What others? Oh, it must be insane for you to have Derek there.

Derek and I are confidants in each other's lives just naturally, like always. Keep watching with Derek. But I like the fact that Derek's there because he is like, I feel like me. He is a normal dude. He works in finance. He works for a bank, you know, like he's the SVP of some bank. Like he went to college. Like he's a normal, totally normal guy that looks exactly like John Krasinski. And no one understands why he's single. Like, I just don't get it. I agree. I agree with you. Um, I, I was thinking that even I hung out

with Derek recently in New York and I was thinking, like, honestly, if I was single, I would go on a date with Derek. Yeah, for sure. I think he's such a catch. And it's like, why are you single? I don't get it. I don't get it either. So there's more and more bad guys even guys that were supposed to be good are turning out kind of bad you know like yeah yeah i mean obviously this whole blake thing is a whole issue that like everyone knows like he's not a bad guy but this is i hope they know that i hope they really know that. What are your thoughts on all this? I have to be very careful here because Blake is one of my very good friends. Yeah.

And, like, this, I can't believe all of this is coming out in the first freaking episode. I know. Like, this is a lot to handle. And if I didn't know Blake watching this, I'd be like, oh, yeah, he's a freaking dirtbag. Like, gross. Like, hate that guy. But I do know Blake. And I just know that's not really who he is.

And so it's very it's hard for me to watch it, honestly. And like, I don't know any of those three girls very well at all. And I know a little bit about his history with Christina. very well at all and I know a little bit about his history with Christina and I just like can't with her like leading him like asking him on this date he's an idiot for saying yes to it first of all like not gonna deny that but I can't with her like asking him on this date and being like and selling it like I just I'm really comfortable with you and I just want to have a nice first date like will you go with me and then the teaser for next episode, she's like, I'm going to turn the tables and put Blake through hell.

You know what I mean? Yeah, don't mess with the Russian girl. She's very angry. Blake is such an idiot. He walks right into it. And my heart just breaks because I do think Blake is such a good guy. And he is just...

You can tell he really had no idea this was all going to blow up in his face. Like, I don't know exactly what happened and, and everything, but it's just, it looks really bad. And I think he's very blindsided by all of this coming at him on day one

and two of paradise. Yeah. He made some bad life decisions. I remember I met with a bunch of those. I think we did like, um, fairly feud. And so we did like Family Feud. And so we all went and had drinks

and they were all asking me for advice. And I was like, the only advice that I can give you guys is never, if you, because they were

asking about Paradise. I was like, if you're going to go on the show, don't sleep with anyone from the show. You can hook up with, like you make out

with them or whatever and flirt with them. Great. That was always like my rule. I was like, I'm just never going to sleep with anyone from the franchise until like, you know. All right.

That's ShipStation.com. Code YOURFAVORITETHING. Do it. Your boy went and he had a double header, man. You know? I know. Back to back. I know.

And here's the thing. he's a he's a he was a single guy you can do that but yeah i guess if you do i don't know don't do it with women who know each other who are going to be able to like cross-reference timelines and with schematics and a spreadsheet and And don't do it with me when I'm probably going to be on the show later. That's the thing. But like, I really think, I've just heard him say so many times,

like this exact thing. Like, I don't know what happened that took this ship off course because even before stagecoach, I remember him saying like hey i might come stay actually at your house with your group if that's cool because some of the girls that are going to paradise are staying at colton's house and i think that's a dangerous situation and i was like yeah like of course like we have a couch like if you want to come sleep on it like he he even like said

that yeah before that weekend so it's like you know the ship was on course and somehow it diverted. I got to talk to my little Blakey. Yeah, well, what he said to you was sober, Blake. And then I'm sure Tequila Blake showed up a little bit later and was like, woo, let's have some fun. I don't blame the guy at all. I just think that he's going to have to answer for it. I think we've talked about this a good bit.

Hold on a second. Hey, I'm doing the podcast right now. Oh, sorry. What time is dinner real quick? Six. Where? I don't know. I'll send you the thing.

All right. Love you. Love you too. Bye. Bye. Y'all are so cute. Thanks, Dodd. So cute. Okay, so'all are so cute. Thanks, dad. So cute.

But, um, okay. So I said this about Dean, I think whatever, a couple of years ago. I think that like, that's the best thing that could happen to you is to see you look bad on TV and know it was all of your own doing. And it helps you kind of like course correct where your life is going. Cause let's be fair. Blake has been able to like run rampant. I'm sure through these American streets with ladies ever since, ever since the bachelor ended because he was just so beloved.

And I think he's kind of fallen off the straight and narrow and now he's going to be able to watch it and be like you know what I probably need to change some things so I think at the end it'll be a good thing for him I don't know that's my pitch sorry

I wish we could call him right now because I am just as confused as everyone probably on I was very shocked he didn't pick Hannah for the first date. And I would love to know like why he picked Tayshia. I don't know. Because going into Paradise, each of them were very interested in the other.

And then the way they cut that first episode, it looked like they were really hitting it off. And then out of nowhere, he's like, Tayshia. I think he thought that she was going to be there no matter what. That's probably true. And he was like, listen, if I have got like any kind of feelings, Tayshia. I think he thought that she was going to be there no matter what. That's probably true. And he was like, listen, if I have got like any kind of feelings for Tayshia, let's just see what's going on there.

If not, when I come back, Hannah's still going to be there. Maybe. Little did she know that Dylan was going to be like, see you, Blake. So let's go to a palapa. So whoop. Here's the other, my other thing was i thought that

because everybody was putting so much pressure on the idea of them as a couple if that freaked him out a little bit and i don't know i made him pick someone else because i could see that that would that's something i would do i think if everyone was talking about how i needed to be with somebody i think i would panic in the last minute and pick someone else just because there was a lot of pressure and a lot to live up to about what everybody was talking about. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Any other thoughts from the show? Um, kind of thing. Jane. Yeah. Is there's moments where I'm like, you're really funny. And there's moments where I'm like, yeah, it's not funny. Um, but she said something in the V in the early in the episode where they, I think,

who was she talking about? Was so hot. Was it clay? Yeah, maybe clay. I just talked about somebody being so hot. I can't remember who. And she was like, to the point where I would be like, I would drown myself in the ocean just so that he would come and save me. And I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard. Because she was serious. Who are you shipping? Who am I shipping? Dylan and Hannah, just because I'm obsessed with how precious he is and how he thinks he's out of her league.

So I'm definitely going to ship that. Who is it that Clay's interested in in this episode? I don't know. A lot of people like Clay. I know. I feel like I need to have the cast in front of me. look it up i can't wait till jordan gets here yeah it's tough because i can't say anything you know so like i know i know can we for one second talk about and she was talking to one of the guys i think it was john paul jones actually and she was like

yeah i'm just like i hate conflict you know i just i'm really easygoing i'm really laid back i was like does this girl know that he's asking her about herself yeah what is she talking about laid back none of the things describe her in any way shape or form my favorite was when Kevin is talking to, I think it's Katie, and he's like, I like your romper. Normally women can't pull off rompers, but you do pull off a romper. And she's like, thanks, I'm totally anatomically correct. It was like, this is the weirdest conversation ever. And by the way, never tell someone that they look good

in romper but everyone else looks trash in them man we still got a lot of people coming in i can't remember who i who i thought clay was looking cute with i don't know there's a lot of girls there i know and then it's on again tonight right yeah dude that's the thing man like they really force it down your throat it It's Monday and Tuesday, two hours. Every single week, it's both days? Yes, for six weeks straight. That's a lot. That's a lot of TV, dude.

And you know what? I'm pretty sure that they ordered another two episodes. And then they announced yesterday that Paradise is back again for season seven. Wow. It's never ending. No. Anyways. There's another show that I finished.

Okay, what you got? Obsessed with another life. Give me a ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. We just finished it too. I thought it was so good. Oh, I thought you already finished it last week. No, we had started it and then we finished it like a couple days ago.

I am obsessed. Really? I watched it in like three days time yeah yeah yeah it's so good so this is the show that we were talking about i guess it was last episode where yeah where um basically an alien artifact lands on earth and like half the show is about trying to figure out what the artifact is the other half is like these astronauts go towards the planet that the artifact came from to try to get some answers it is phenomenal i really liked that only a couple of the episodes

were like a little scary yeah like like a horror series or anything like that but there were a couple of episodes where i was a little terrified yeah it was like episodes one through three were like pretty tame and then out of nowhere episode four she's like having a dream or something and there's a freaking alien and it's scary looking and i'm like i was like a little scared i was like i don't think i should be watching this alone yeah but it was um but then like every episode's not like that so i don't know i thought they did a really really good job i loved the cast continued to be surprised throughout it and there was like a bit of a twist at the end that leaves it like wide open for season two which is great yeah i like i enjoyed the ending of that and it made me super excited for the next so yeah for sure another life is good it's on

netflix binge that yeah like if you like space stuff like you gotta watch this yeah but even like so i don't know if sarah really likes space stuff like i said like yeah i said like i said last week like i think she appeases a lot of like my sci-fi stuff but she was into that show so i don't know if you have you have to be a super space nerd to like it it's just a good show yeah it was really good it's kind of like what was that movie with matthew mcconaughey interstellar It's kind of like, what was that movie with Matthew McConaughey? Interstellar. It's kind of like Interstellar meets The Martian. Great movie.

Meets Star Trek. Yep. Kinda. Anyways. Totally. Good stuff. And it also reminds me a bit of Arrival, the way they're trying to communicate with the aliens. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Totally, totally, totally. Yeah, good call. Really good series. I've got a show that I am obsessed with. You tell, because now I need a new one. You got one, sister. Great. Shout out to my sister, Marisa,

for giving me the heads up on this one. It's on Showtime, so if you don't have that, sorry. The show is called City on a Hill. Have you heard about it? No. Okay, so Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are the creators of this show. And Kevin Bacon is the lead.

Jeez. In 1990s Boston, the assistant district attorney and a corrupt yet venerated FBI veteran worked together to take on a case that grows to involve and ultimately subvert

the entire criminal justice system of Boston. So it's like, did you ever see the movie The Town with Ben Affleck? Loved that movie. Okay.

So it's that, but in TV show. and kevin bacon does that thing that like i love so much with actors and tv shows like the when you know a tv show's good is that like in the first like two episodes i hated him and then by episode four i was like i love this guy you know like he's so good at being a good bad guy and then there's another guy on the show who's so good at being a bad good guy okay wait no no i don't even know if that makes sense yeah but i know that makes sense the cops and the fbi are are good but they're bad they're you know like it's just oh it's so good so anyways yeah city on Hill. Go check it out. I will download that.

Yeah, check it out. P.S., I'm like eternally grateful for you letting me know that you can actually download episodes on the Netflix app. Because I never knew that was a thing before you told me. Yeah. And it's changed the way I travel. As it should. Yeah, I don't know if people know that you like yo peeps like if you have the netflix app you can download full series and watch it whenever wherever you are it's phenomenal

not an ad also by the way why doesn't netflix sponsor our show they really should what is happening if anyone i think i think because they don't need to. Everyone watches it already. Yeah, fair. Very fair. That would be like Apple sponsoring. Like iPhone. Here's a commercial for the Apple iPhone that everyone already uses. Yeah, but they still dump money into advertising.

Give us a slice of the pie. You know? Yeah. Okay, so we're like right smack dab in the middle of summer and i am enjoying my patio so much and i cannot get enough of my article dining table that i got for my outdoor deck it is have you used your outdoor furniture like i sit at that table every single day and have my morning coffee and i even eat eat dinner out there, even when I'm by myself.

weather is so great. Dude, same. My article patio chairs are phenomenal. I mean, Sarah and I, obviously we host a lot because we've got a we've got a good house to have a bunch of people over. a lot because we've got a good house to have a bunch of people over.

I had a doctor's appointment today and so I drove over there and you go and you get in an elevator and I started dying laughing in the elevator because I was just thinking we're all creatures of habit. Everyone walks into an elevator and then turns around and then looks at the doors. How funny would it be if you walked into an elevator and you didn't turn around, you just walked in

and you're just facing the wrong way? I'm going to do that today. I know everyone would be like, whoa, what the fuck's wrong with this guy? Oh, dude, turn turn around turn around now but like for whatever reason like that's like the social norms that everyone walks in turns around and they wait you know but it doesn't really matter like you get to turn around at some point but then i was thinking about like the elevators that have two doors, you know, that you don't know like which one's good.

Oh, yeah. So what do you do then? You just turn sideways? Yeah, you do. Keep your head on a swivel. Why also is it that elevators are the most awkward place on the planet to make eye contact with people? Oh, yeah. Oh, God.

But like I always want to crack jokes in elevators. Of course you do. You know? You have an audience that can't escape from you. They have to laugh at your jokes or it's awkward. We got 14 more flights to go. Better get a good laugh in. And in their minds, they they're just like this fucking guy

i can't wait to get off this elevator this guy thinks he's a damn comedian and he's facing the wrong way what's going on i was thinking about this other thing that was kind of cracking me up you know what sucks about car horns is what is that? They're directional. You only can honk forward. You can't honk backwards. I need a backwards car horn. Because when you're backing up, you know? That's true. When you're backing up and someone's like in your way, like trying to get out of the space,

you can't lay on the horn because then the person in front of you is like, what the fuck did I do? It's like, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's the asshole behind me. So this is what i suggest right here got front horn back horn maybe side horns i don't know side horns uh speaking of horns yeah my boyfriend calls the car horn calls it a hooter oh my god and i can't not laugh every time he says it you mean the horn and he's like yeah the hooter and i'm like no no no no no it's a different thing

in the united states wait does everyone in south africa call horns hooters i think so do they have hooters like the restaurant in south africa i don't think so. Do they have Hooters, like the restaurant in South Africa? I don't think so. I think that's an American thing. Hey, why are we going to the car home place? Why is everyone here dressed? Everyone here at the car home place is beautiful. With really big tits.

Huge, huge knockers. And the wings are amazing at It's a car horn place. This is not an ad. Not an ad. But can I just say it? One of my favorite things. One of my favorite things just in the world. Like, I think everyone knows me as the taco guy.

Man, chicken wings. You love? Oh, my God. I love chicken wings so much. People swear. People swear that Hooters has great chain wings. They do. They absolutely. And this isn't like a, I subscribe to Playboy because I like the articles. No. so much people swear people swear that hooters has great chain wings they do they absolutely

and this isn't like a i subscribe to playboy because i like the articles no they have good chicken wings so you say yeah now there's like other iterations of that there's like twin peaks which is like the same thing but like i don't know a dumber name stupid name why don't they have one of those for women and call it like package deal or something like that where guys walk around in speedos and sell like i don't know like vegan quinoa salads or something and all and like on the tv avocado toast yeah avocado toast and like the things on tv are like bravo and like hgtv i'd go there shit give me a good avo toast and some hgtv i'll go anywhere let's go to package deal ladies they got bottomless rose today yes queen that's funny man you got any other favorite things i started a new book that i'm digging

tell me all about it actually caitlin recommended it when she co-hosted called burial rights and what she didn't tell us that i don't know if she knew is that they're actually already making it into a movie and jennifer lawrence is playing the lead which is so cool yeah you said this last episode i did so the thing i like about that is like jennifer is such a perfect person to play a movie like this and it's so great to like have that visual as i'm reading it that like she's that character yeah um really good it's funny because iceland i've been there and when i was there we had the hardest time trying to pronounce anything it's absolutely impossible

like in the beginning of this book they give you this like vowel pronunciation chart so that you can attempt to pronounce the words it It still doesn't help me. Yeah. I still, I had, I'm like, I'm like, uh,

I just like, I just like to still can't pronounce anything in my head. So it was interesting, but it's really, really good. It's a, it's like a, it's not a true story,

but it's, it's written that way. And it's about a crime that these two girls like kill these two men and in iceland back in the 1800s when this is set apparently there's really no system for prosecuting and how and in housing uh criminals so these women who are i you know, our version of on trial for murder, like there's no jail to hold them in. So they have to go stay with families on farms. So the men that work as like commissioners of their district have to house these murderers until Copenhagen, which I guess is like the mother country of Iceland, decides if they're going to die or not. It's pretty crazy. Wow. It's very cool.

How far are you into it? Four chapters. Oh, so you just started. Today. Okay. Okay. So you, but you're digging it. Digging it big time.

Yeah. I really like it a lot. All right. Obviously it's good. Jennifer Lawrence making a movie about it. And I feel like Iceland is such a hot spot right now for tourism. It's like a good look too. And it'll, it'll obviously inspire other people to go there

i'm sure they're going to shoot it there because people shoot in iceland a lot anyway because fun fact you don't have to pull any kind of permits to shoot in iceland that's why people go there really um so it's a lot cheaper to shoot when you don't have to pay for permits interesting um this but it's gonna be cool and i've been to iceland so it's really fun for me to read because i have a really great visual of the landscape so as i'm reading it it's going to be cool. And I've been to Iceland, so it's really fun for me to read because I have a really great visual of the landscape as I'm reading it. It's pretty cool. I got a new book that I'm into for sure.

You ever read any Dean Kuntz novels? No. He's just like one of those guys like James Patterson. I feel like that just is like very prolific, you know? Uh-huh. I was like trying to figure out what to read after I finished Unsolved, which by the way was a James Patterson book.

Great. We talked about that last episode. So this book by Dean Kuntz, by the way, your name sounds like a vagina. Just so you know, Dean Kuntz. Also, that's what in New Zealand they use your last name as a car horn. That's what they say. Kuntz, Kuntz. That's a stupid joke that's dumb uh anyways the book is called the watchers they're just watchers and it's so freaking okay so let me just lay it

out for you set the storyline middle-aged guy goes into like the hills of los angeles or like a little bit north of los angeles to um go like be a part of nature. And he's like really depressed. He brings a gun with him. So you're not really sure if he went there to commit suicide or just to like kind of like reset the reels. And while he's in nature, he comes across this golden retriever who's like all matted and dirty. Seems very nice.

And he's like, oh, you know, I all poor, you know, poor, poor dog is, you know, astray or whatever. Guy proceeds to try to walk down this deer trail and the dog like won't let him pass go down the deer trail and he's like snarling at him and like at one point the dog was really nice and i was just snarling at him and he's like get out of the way you know and finally like tries to go around him and the dog like grabs his leg his pant leg and like pulls him back and he falls down and he's like what is going on and all of a sudden he gets this like really weird feeling that like something's watching him and he feels like

something's coming at him and so the dog's like warning him about something so they kind of run away um and they get away but he always had this feeling like something was happening and then they get into the car and he's like okay well i'm gonna take you to the pound or whatever he's like but boy you must be so hungry i've got a uh i've got a protein bar in the glove compartment and the dog with with his paw opens up the glove compartment takes out the thing holds it in his mouth and it's like looking at the guy and the guy's like did you understand what i just said and then all of a sudden you're starting to realize that this dog is very smart really smart let's just throw in uh bioengineering and there's scientists and there's a monster and uh there's another there's another killer there's a um assassin and uh i'm like halfway through it.

But basically the dog can talk. Basically. And I read it and I'm like, this is what I feel like Carl is. I feel like Carl can understand everything I say. So basically this book about my dog, you should go read it or listen to it. It's called Watchers. So good.

I really love Dark Matter also. They were both phenomenal. Yeah. I say they're neck and neck. And they have similar themes.

I loved it, though. I loved it, especially after the ending. I really loved the ending. I thought it was great. Of recursion? Yeah. Yeah. That's a good book, man. I can't wait to see what netflix does

with that i know that'll be cool do you got anything else i've got a song yeah give me some we haven't done a music thing in a while yeah yeah give me what you got give me what you might be it might be a new little noah cyrus oh i listened to that yesterday you did it's so funny yeah because it came up on my um like discover weekly or whatever i really liked it hold on isn't it so good what's it is it july yes so tell me to leave i'll pack my bags get on the road find someone that loves you better than I do Darling, I know

Cause you remind me every day I'm not enough but I still stay Feels like a lifetime just trying to get by while we're dying inside I've done a lot of I was listening to this yesterday. Number one, it's a song that is so relatable to a lot of young women out there or just women in general. I thought like I was like, wow, this is a very this is a good song for her to put out. And I think it's a very relatable song. And then the other thing is like a lot of her stuff.

I'd love Noah, but she is 19. So like, you know, she's singing and doing stuff that any 19 year old would do. I thought that this was the first one where I was like, she seems very mature. Yes. And with lyrically and then with like her sound as well. Mm hmm. Well, it's funny because when I heard it, I was like, this sounds like a dang country song.

Yes, it did. Absolutely. And I've never really heard Noah go that direction. And I really, really liked it for her. And it's funny because in the past year, I would say she's really become a big Casey Musgraves fan. Yeah. To the point where she actually had me text Casey.

And she was like, I literally just want you to tell her that I love her. Like, will you just do that? And I was like, yeah, I'll do that they should write together that's what that's what I so that's what I said to Casey I was like I don't know I know she was like on a world tour at the time but I was like you know if you ever had any interest in writing with Noah just know that she would love to do that and just you know no pressure but like let me know but I told Noah you know Casey or no Casey she needs to come to Nashville and write with some

of these big Nashville artists her voice sounds incredible in this style of music yeah and I don't know I just it really seems to fit her so I love it I might be one of my favorite things she's put out I think it just goes back to like I can't I'm so much older than she is like a lot of her stuff like I just don't relate to but like I I appreciate, I, I appreciate the musicality of it. This is the first one where I was like, Oh, I totally relate to this. You know? Yeah. Yeah. Heartbreak will do that to you.

I know. Is she doing okay? Yeah, she is. Okay, good. I just, I feel like she, you know, your first big heartbreak is so brutal. I feel like as an artist, as a songwriter, like you get material from that for so long. You know what I mean? That heartbreak like lingers for so long when it's the first big one.

Of course. And sad songs are always the best songs. The best. We talk about this a lot. Yeah. But anyway, super, super proud of Noah. I love that song. Another thing that came up on my release radar the other day that I liked a lot was a band called The Moss.

This was a song called Salt Lake City. I don't know. I just... I just really liked it. Bye. And you don't want to let her go hanging around your mother. Unless you want mom to know what happened. When she gets you alone, cause she lights up my fuse on the gladiator's door. I like that one. It was good.

Nice. And then I had another one. I think this one I really liked a lot. Henry Jameson called through the glass so maybe i can see her so Well, my car was there to start I gotta get it to Vermont She spent her summers in Bar Harbor Oh, man, working in a restaurant And she had a lot of boyfriends

I count the ones I know As I shut her through New Hampshire Oh, it's Hartley on the radio friends i count the ones i know as i shudder through new hampshire always certainly on the radio god god god damn the girl's fine and i was glad to call her mine she weren't mine henry james he's got a lot of good songs that one's called through the glass those are two things that i was kind of digging on. Nice. Oh, quick reminder. Watch the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday because my fiance going to be singing a song on stage. Why do I sound like that sometimes?

That's insane that she's your fiance. I know. Is that so weird or is it not that weird? The only thing that's weird is it's hard to remember to say that because you're so used to saying my girlfriend. Uh-huh. You know? Uh-huh. And so you got to say it because if you don't, they can get upset.

Yeah. Oh, I'm your girlfriend? I thought I was your fiance. Oh, yeah. You're right. Sorry. I forgot. You're very right.

I'm very sorry. Yeah. You know my little brother is getting married so soon. Really? It's so weird. Don't don't tell me about their wedding planner. Everyone wants to give me their wedding plan. I don't I'm not in charge of that, guys.

Just so you know. I don't know their wedding planner. Well, good. Then don't send me their information because Sarah's's in charge of that i do have to go like i think we're gonna like meet with a bunch of them and like decide which one we want to go with and i think it's so funny that i'm being involved in this because i don't care i don't know whatever one really but we know it's really funny so so now i'm just getting like inundated with wedding Instagram pictures. And my favorite thing is that she's now just sending me

Instagram pictures of beautifully decorated trees. And people are getting, because I guess people get married in front of trees. And so now I have this joke where I'm just like, it's like if I get a message from her on Instagram, it's like, look at this tree. I'm just looking at so many trees right now. Does that mean you guys are having an outdoor wedding? I don't know.

If there isn't a fucking tree involved in this wedding, I don't know what I've been doing this whole time. That's funny. been doing this whole time that's funny not to segue from weddings into my relationship but you know misha kiosman is gonna be here in one freaking week i know that's nuts is he ready for all the americans i don't know probably not. Can you imagine being from a different country and just like seeing from afar the news of our country and being like, oh, I don't know. I want to go there. He watches the news every day. But I brought up to him. I was like, oh, did you see all the mass shootings that happened in the States last weekend? And he was like, no, no.

And just even just me talking about it that little bit. He was like, oh, wow. He was like, we got to live in South Africa. I was like, I'm shooting myself in the foot here. But you're not wrong. Yeah. Yeah. South Africa's beautiful.

I know. Like, are you ready for him to come? I'm like, I'm so ready in the fact that like I miss him so much and can't wait for a little cute trip however I don't get home until Saturday and then he gets here on Tuesday and that gives me not many days to prepare and like have the house clean and food in the fridge and like all that stuff I want to do and have the house and everything ready for him. And the waxing. Oh, I got to do the waxing. I need a pedicure.

I should probably wax my whole body, to be honest, because I'm so bad about shaving my legs. But you know what? He says he doesn't care. It's really sweet. Oh, you know what? What's my fiancee? It's hard to do. God.

Case in point right there. I think every guy can relate to this knee-high stockings so hot the hottest yeah you know like like socks that go like go up to your knees or whatever i don't know what it i don't know what it is and i think every guy would agree like there's nothing hotter than a girl that's in like either like a nightie or like in like lingerie and like knee high and so and here's the thing i think that sarah's been doing it because she hasn't shaved her legs in a while that's her cover and that's her cover for it and you know what totally fine with it so not bad are you so there you go that's hysterical all right noted gonna

buy myself a pair of socks oh you, you know what? Oh, yeah. Speaking of socks, give me a ding because I wore compression socks on my flight over here, my long-haul flight. Freaking game changer. Like, call me old. Call me whatever you want. But everybody kept telling me that I'm telling you compression socks are a game changer. You'll feel a lot better. And they were not wrong.

What do you mean you felt better? Like you didn't have swollen feet? I didn't ever notice that my feet were swollen. I have like very dainty ankles if we're being like completely candid. But I did feel better. Like I just can't explain it. My body didn't feel as tired or something when I got off the plane. Wow. That's a thing, huh?

Yeah. Highly recommend. If you have a flight over four hours, I would say wear compression socks. Wow. All right. So it'd be funny if I ever saw you doing that. I immediately put it on my Instagram story and be like, by the way, Brandy, 79 years old. I put it on my Instagram story. It's fine i don't got anything else you want to go get some like a quinoa bowl at the package deal i would totally do that yeah yeah i think they're having a flip or flop marathon so let's go oh my gosh sign me up oh the package deal it's so funny it's too good someone's gonna do it and then we're gonna be like we should have we should have done

it yeah yeah whatever just let us eat there for free. Yeah, for real. All right, you got anything else? I think that's all. I think I'm going to go take a dip in the hot tub maybe or something. Something vacation-y, you know? Yeah, be more annoying about your vacation. You know, that's great.

I think I'm going to go take a dip in the hot tub on my sister's balcony on her pet house suite of the hotel. Can muscle-clad men fan you with palm fronds and feed you grapes directly into your mouth? It's funny you say that. Stop it. There's this one pool boy. Okay, so where we're at, the hotel pool or whatever has like three little boys that are like running around waiting on everybody. And they're here every day. I'm like, do you guys have a day off at all?

One of them looks just like Dave Franco and we are not mad. Okay, but when you say pool boy, you mean like 18 or older? He's got to be 18 because he serves alcohol. Yeah. Yeah, but he's young for sure. We were trying to guess yesterday how old he was, and I said he cannot be older than 24. Like, that's the highest.

That's the absolute oldest this kid is for sure. Does this kid work at the package deal? He should. He'd probably make more money. All right. probably make more money. Alright, well, go have Dave Franco fan you with palm fronds and feed you dates and other delectables.

Will do. Alright, well, tell everyone I say hi. Okay, I will. Miss ya. Love ya, kid. By the way, we can talk about this after the show, but we gotta figure out when you're gonna be here so we can all hang out together cause I gotta meet this
