Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Back Spasms, Black Walls & the Benson Boone Epidemic
Episode Date: May 20, 2026Wells turned 42, threw his back out from a sneeze, and found his “first foray in the nether regions.” Meanwhile, Brandi just got back from Vegas where she DJ'd the ACMs pre-show..., played every commercial break, never ate, barely saw her friends, and somehow still looked incredible. This week we're talking ACM highlights (Ella Langley swept 7 awards, Avery Anna broke brains, and Kacey Musgraves' new single has already moved in rent-free), a long list of favorite things (below), the Benson Boone mullet-mustache epidemic that needs to stop immediately, and Brandi and Matt's ongoing battle over who wins what in their Nashville renovation. And if that’s not enough to reel you in... How about a riveting discussion about death row meals, annoying Vegas travel or which LA Mexican restaurant Wells should get his margarita fishbowl at? Good stuff. Now... Tell someone who cares, 'cause I don't. So suck a d*ck and get off my phone. Love ya, Fam!

This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation.
Where are you going after this?
My birthday dinner.
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
Where are you going?
Casa Vega.
Of course you are.
You know what?
I love it.
Okay.
I always want to go to Costa Vega.
And you're so close.
It's right there.
Dangerous.
Now, is the Mexican food crate?
No.
Do I care about that?
Not really.
But every time I want to go get Casa,
then my wife,
of whom I love,
She's like, well, if we're just going to go get like Mexican food, can we go to Doncucos?
Also good.
Totally agree.
But what I like about Casavaga is the griminess of the old school thing, right?
So anyways, because it's my birthday or it was my birthday.
I was like, can we please go to Cascavega?
So anyways, that's what we're doing for.
Cute.
Yeah.
Okay.
Love.
I'm fucking exhausted.
Why are you exhausted?
I just got back from Vegas.
And let me tell you guys something.
Tell us.
If you're going to fly in or out of Las Vegas, just prepare for delays on delays, on delays.
And if you're leaving Las Vegas to go anywhere, if you do not book your flight before 10 a.m,
you will be stuck there.
You will be delayed.
The longer you stay there for every hour in the day later that your flight is, the more fucked it's going to be.
Yeah.
And that's just the facts.
But you were there for the AMCs?
ACMs.
Yes.
CMAs.
No, ACMs.
Got it?
ACMs.
The A-C-M's.
B-E-T awards?
The ACMs called me, well, not me, but my manager.
Like a week beforehand, right?
Literally on Monday, not even a week.
Called me on Monday and said,
we'd love for Brandy to DJ the show.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Let me just book travel, book glam, find a dress,
work on my music.
Let me just do all that.
Gross.
A few days and get out there and, you know,
super grateful for the opportunity.
It was very fun.
Was it fun?
They worked me like a dog.
So were you DJing like the actual event?
Yeah.
So the ACMs aired on Amazon Prime.
Unfortunately, I didn't get shown on Amazon Prime.
Why not?
I didn't get shown on the show.
But I DJed the pre-show.
So for everybody actually in the arena at the show,
I was the show, the pre-show.
And then I played during every commercial break for the people in the audience.
Amazing.
And like the artists and everybody were there.
Yeah, you should have been the one.
Like a lot of times they'll do that and they'll like the DJ will also be like,
And now coming up is Lainey Wilson.
Yeah.
Well, you know, if they ask me back again, I'm going to have some production notes.
Stipulations.
Yeah.
But it was fun.
But I, it was very, like, award shows are already just such a long day.
You know that.
I know.
But I had to be down there to sound check at 9 a.m.
Go back up.
I had two hours to take a shower and do glam.
Had to be back on the carpet.
And then had like a 30 minute window to do the carpet before I had to be in there to play the pre-show.
And then the pre-show was two hours.
and then I played during every commercial break
for the two and a half hour show.
It was so long.
Yeah.
And the only bummer about having to, like, work it like that
is I didn't get to like hang with my friends.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, because I was up there in the DJ booth
during all the commercial breaks
when everyone's hanging out.
Yeah.
But it was fun and really cool.
You looked great.
I will say that.
I saw your dress.
Thanks.
And I feel like the body is body-oddy-oddying right now.
The body's bodying.
We love that.
Thank you horses.
Thank you Pilates.
Thank you, Farmbod.
I, okay.
Great dress.
Thank you. Did you like it?
I did.
Here's the thing.
The dress was like kind of a hot take because the ACMs started in Vegas.
They used to be in Vegas every year.
Like when I was a kid and would go with my dad, it was always in Vegas.
And then they moved it to Texas.
Yeah.
And it's been in Dallas, I guess, for the past however many years.
They just, this is the first year they brought it back to Vegas.
Okay.
So I knew everyone would be in sequins and loud and just vagus-y, you know, feathers.
Like, I just expected all that.
So I was like, I'm going to go, I'm going to do the opposite.
Yeah.
I'm going to do the opposite.
No, I thought you looked great.
Thank you.
Yeah, it was good.
Ella Langley looked amazing all night.
I don't know how much you follow all the country music stuff, but Ella is just having a
moment.
And let me just say, I've been listening to Ella.
Is she the one that sings the song?
The Chos in Texas song.
Yeah, God.
I know.
But I've been, I played Ella on this podcast years ago.
Yeah, yeah.
Like I've been on the Ella train for a while.
Love her music.
She's an incredible songwriter.
She had an insane night.
Up for seven awards.
One all seven of them.
I broke a record, I'm sure.
She just absolutely.
killed it. So really cool to just see like her rise to fame, you know, and it always looks like
this overnight success. But like I've been watching her kind of come up and that's been really
cool. Casey Musgrave has performed her new single, which I'm obsessed with. It's a good. So good.
I love the song to dry spell and I love Casey. And so that was like a highlight for me. There is a
girl who won like best new upcoming artist, whatever that that category is best new artist.
Her name is Avrianna. I wasn't, didn't really know much about her. I've never listened to her music.
she fucking killed her performance.
Like, you should go back and watch it.
Like, it's, and she sounded,
everything sounds better in the room than on TV.
Like, things on TV don't sound out.
It's good.
In the room, like, this girl's voice was insane.
Like, I imagined that Chris Stapleton,
who was in the room,
had to have been like, holy shit, this girl can sing.
Wow.
You know, like, she was really good.
I was really impressed with her.
I think she had my favorite performance of the night.
Also Carter Faith, who is also a,
and coming, but she was actually nominated for album of the year.
She performed and she was amazing.
So just two like young,
up and coming females that I just thought blew everybody away last night.
That's awesome.
Yeah, very cool.
Speaking of, you know,
you played Ella Langley years ago and I feel like we don't get credit enough for like being
the tastemakers that we are.
I was watching an interview with your sister, Noah.
Okay.
And they were like,
who are you listening to right now?
And she was like Stephen Wilson Jr.
And I was like,
I played him.
years ago for you.
I know. I know.
And she's like, he's like one of my buddies.
And I'm like, they have a song together.
See?
They have a song together.
Did you say, hey, Wells told me about this guy.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
I did.
I did.
And she,
oh,
it was at the right.
When she played the rhymin,
he came out and sang with her.
Yeah.
Performed with her at the Ryman.
That was cool.
And he's,
he's kind of making his way into the country scene.
Oh,
yeah.
I mean,
he was like Rogan.
Yeah.
I know.
Yeah.
I know.
I know.
I mean,
what can I say? Well, it's like, we just know, we know. I don't know. I feel like I just want some
credit. I want some credit too. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you had fun. I saw that there's a bunch
of Bachelor Nation people there. Yes, I saw Hannah was on the carpet. Hannah was there.
Lept her dress. Tyler Cameron was there. Tyler was there. I did see him. I don't know what he was
doing. Hannah, Hannah's dress was sick, though. She was in a pat bow gown. I loved it. Yeah.
Yeah, it was just one of those nights, though. Like, I had so many friends there. I really
just sit and get to get to talk to many people. Dash and I just have.
to have the same red carpet slot time, which was awesome.
So I got to see her.
And then afterwards, we went to a little after party,
but it was just for like, oh, it was like one label.
So it was just all the artists on that label.
So I saw a few people there.
Highlight of the night, though, let me tell you.
Mm-hmm.
If you guys stay at the win in Las Vegas,
go to SW Steakhouse.
Oh, yeah.
The mashed potatoes might be my favorite dish of anything anywhere.
Wow.
Like if I was going to have a final meal, it would just be those mashed potatoes.
Oh, that's a good thing.
We should talk about our death row meal.
The mashed potatoes.
I think they're called the Yukon Gold mashed potato.
I don't know.
A fair potato.
From SW Steakhouse.
Holy fuck.
I could drink a gallon of them.
They're so good.
Had scallops and mashed potatoes and a couple other things at SW for dinner after not
eating all day long.
And that was the highlight of my night.
How do you feel about baked potatoes?
I used to love them.
Yeah.
But now there's,
just so much work.
It's a lot of work.
A lot of work.
For some reason, I've fallen on the side of TikTok where it's like a baked potato food truck.
And it's British.
So they put beans in them.
Okay.
And I got to say it looks pretty good.
It's like butter and beans and garlic butter and then so much, way too much cheese.
And then some sort of sauce.
I think I didn't get back in the baked potato game.
It's just too much work.
working not that much payoff for me.
Yeah.
It's my only complaint.
Twice baked potatoes are pretty fantastic.
They're good.
You know.
All right.
Well, the Yukon Goals at SW Steakhouse at the win.
So good.
I like the win.
Is that your favorite hotel there?
It's probably my favorite place to stay.
It's a tie.
I do love the win,
but I also really love the Virgin Hotel.
Oh, okay.
It's off the strip.
So it's like quieter,
chiller, the restaurants.
You can always get into the restaurants.
Like the problem with places like the win and everything.
Like, if you don't make a reservation,
you can't get in.
You know, but at the Virgin, my favorite restaurant in Vegas is there.
And it's Cassie Beach House.
I've talked about it before.
And I've never not been able to just walk in and go to Cassie.
Like, it's just not as busy.
It's great.
And it's new.
The rooms are nice.
You know, the wind's cool, but the rooms aren't new.
So it just depends.
If you want to stay on the strip and you want, like, direct access to the nightclubs
without having to leave the hotel, stay at the win.
But if you're there for something else and you have to leave the hotel anyway
and you just want somewhere nice to stay with good food, stay at the Virgin.
Got it.
All right?
Yeah.
You heard it here first, folks.
Yeah.
I'm a Vegas pro at this point.
I have to go back not tomorrow, Wednesday.
Why?
For another gig.
The secret gig.
Remember the one I told you I got in trouble for a fellow?
Can we release it now?
No.
No.
No.
Great.
Until after, but if you know, you know.
It's like, is it like some sort of like secret artist there?
No, it's a secret.
Banksy going to be painting?
No.
I'm the secret.
Oh, you are?
Yeah.
Oh, that's fun.
Who would have known?
No.
By the way, I've been selling stuff on Poshmark.
Really?
Yeah.
What are you been selling?
I've been selling golf shoes.
Look, there's somewhere.
Oh.
Yes.
I got really nice golf shoes.
I just don't go well with my outfits.
How terrible.
I know, but they're nice and they're brand new.
So I've been going on Poshmark and I've been selling on Poshmark.
Well, that's cool.
I know.
Who would have thought?
It's actually very easy to sell stuff on Poshmark.
It is.
I've been doing it for so long.
You take a couple pictures.
You say what it is.
And then it kind of fits.
figures it out. It uses AI, I think. Yep. And then you get a bunch of requests or whatever to buy it. And then you can print out the thing and then slap it on a box and take it to the post office. The shipping label. You can print out the shipping label. Yeah. Yeah. It really is so easy. I love Poshmark. And honestly, like, for as much as I sell, I end up just taking that Poshmark money and buying other stuff. Like I found a lot of really cool vintage pieces on Poshmark. Really cool vintage cowboy boots. Some cool leather jackets. When I started dating Matt, I bought like the
the coolest vintage leather motorcycle vest,
even though I ride a bike like once every few months.
But really, it's the coolest place to shop secondhand and vintage.
And if you have extra clothes laying around that you don't wear anymore
and you're ready to do a clean out,
I actually heard Sarah downstairs saying she's doing a purge.
Oh, yeah.
You guys have got to try Poshmark.
It is so easy to sell.
I mean, even Wells can do it.
New deals and styles are listed every day.
So don't wait.

sauvignon block boy uh i'll admit it i am and that's why i'm bougie and because it's hot here
in california and i like to have a nice chilled drink and that is perfect for me i like a good glass of wine
at the end of day, but I never really know what to buy.
So I just grab something and just hope for the best.
Then, Brandy, I found First Leaf.
And honestly, it just makes the whole thing super easy.
They match wines to your taste and send them right to your door.
Here's the best part, too.
Like, I hate having to go to store for wine.

All right you guys,
I really have been making an effort to
become a less is more kind of gal
when it comes to my closet.
I got to a point where I just had
way too much stuff and I couldn't see what I had
and none of my clothes went together.
So I've been much more intentional
about what I wear day to day
and leaning into pieces that feel both effortless
and comfortable but also still looking put together
and having more of a capsule wardrobe.
My go-to is quince.
I am obsessed with their basics.
I'm obsessed with their sweaters.
They have all these premium materials,
like 100% European linen,
organic cotton, which is my favorite,
and they even have an ultra-soft denim.
All the essentials you need to create your own capsule wardrobe.
And you guys,
the best part are the prices.
You literally just cannot beat them.
Everything at quince is priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands.
It's because they work directly
with ethical factories and they cut out the middleman.
So you're paying for quality and craftsmanship and not that brand markup.
I've got probably 10 like white t-shirts, white long sleeves, white tank tops in my closet.
And it's just been my go-to to wear with everything.
They're all quints.
I love their organic cotton collection.
I'm telling you guys, you got to check them out.

You want to watch the show?
Mm-hmm.
Me or you.
You.
Rose and hose.
You're listening to your favorite thing podcast with.
Wells and Brandy.
I'm so tired.
And let me tell you what.
Yeah.
I had one very small glass of champagne at probably five o'clock when the show started.
Did not have any other alcohol for the rest of the night.
I feel like dog shit.
Really?
Yes.
Yeah.
And Matt,
looked at me on FaceTime this morning and said, you look hungover.
And I was like, I think I had five sips of champagne.
That sucks.
Oh, it's just, I'm old.
Do you want to talk about being old?
I just turned 42.
Okay.
Do you know what happened?
First of all, I just, I did a story about it.
Then I was like, this is maybe too much information.
But I was on the toilet the other day looking down.
Okay.
Questioning everything.
And what do I find?
I got a gray.
I knew that's what you're going to say.
Wow.
And it was like, oh my, because I have gray hair and I have gray, I have some gray
chest tears. Okay. This is the first foyer down into the neither region. And I feel like that's a bad
sign. It's a very bad sign. I mean, like, can we get this show sponsored by like blue chew?
Like we got to get a Viagra for. Oh. I see Bluchu. That's the thing. The metadata out there
knows how old I am. So I'm getting force fed Viagra commercials. Interesting. But this is what's called
Blue Chew and you can just chew it. And I guess it works really fast. Anyways, I saw that and I was like,
oh no, this is the beginning of the end.
And then the day after my birthday, so yesterday.
Okay.
I'm sitting on the couch watching the PGA championship.
I sneezed.
I sneezed.
And you peed?
No.
No.
Okay.
Something happened in my back from a sneeze.
That's worse.
And it was one of those where like it happened.
And I went, oh, no.
And I could feel spreading through the back of my back.
And I'm like, oh my God.
And then I was like, I can't move.
Like I was like locked up.
Like I was scared to.
Oh, no.
Dude, 42.
It's not okay.
Don't suggest it.
No, it's not good.
No.
No.
I wanted to talk about something.
Okay.
I feel like there's a epidemic going on right now.
And I've been noticing it.
Okay.
There is a Benson Boone epidemic.
Interesting.
It's a bunch of dudes with fucking the same haircut.
It's much.
mullets and mustaches for some reason.
And it's stupid.
And we have to stop, everybody.
Like, what's going on?
Yeah.
Also, are you telling me, girls are like, yep, want to fuck that.
Girls do like a mustache.
A mustache and a mullet?
Yeah, Dom Dahl is doing it too.
Everyone is doing it.
Mm-hmm.
Should I do it?
Riley Green's got a mustache.
Everyone's got it.
Yeah.
It's, uh...
I don't think you should.
I don't think.
think anyone should. No. Remember when like the like mullet mohawk faux thing was in like the fashion
mullet I guess is what they called it that was a thing. I know I know I was a hipster in east
Nashville and then mustaches were a thing. They were everywhere it's coming back. Remember when everyone
got the tattoo on their finger of a mustache so they could do that bit? Yep. Anyways I don't know what's
happening out there but I'm seeing a lot that's the Benson Boone effect and I feel like it's got to stop.
All right.
Unless you can do a backflip off of a grand piano.
That is sick.
Yes.
Then I'm like, okay, I get, yeah, that guy.
I could see myself wanting to fuck that guy.
Okay.
But if you're just a guy at a bar.
With a mustache.
No.
And a mullet.
No, thank you.
No, ma'am.
What are you watching?
What are you doing?
What do you got any favorite things, bro?
Let me tell you what else I did.
Oh, yeah.
Tell me.
I'm usually just so prepared with life.
Mm-hmm.
I left my headphones in Nashville before my four,
flight to Las Vegas and had to just raw dog the whole fucking flight.
Do you have headphones now?
No.
Do you want headphones?
What do you mean?
Do you want me to give you headphones?
Like AirPods or what?
I mean, I've got a couple of extra pairs.
Like earbuds?
Yeah.
Maybe.
They're the old ones though, but beggars can't be choosers over here.
This is true.
Matt says he's going to bring my, he's meeting me in Vegas on Wednesday.
He says he's bringing them.
But boy, oh boy, it's been rough out here.
I can't even like at the airport.
I can't watch TikTok.
I can't FaceTime Matt.
I can't do anything without headphones.
It's really just a rude awakening.
Jesus.
So I didn't get to watch any shows on my flight, which is really disappointing.
Have you started Widows Bay?
Okay, you are going to kill me.
We have tried to start it twice.
And we just can't pay attention.
What?
You just get through the first episode.
Is that that it?
Is it the first episode just slow?
Yeah, because it's just like establishing what's going on and he's like trying to figure
out the tourism thing.
It is so hard to pay.
attention to episode one.
Oh my God.
You get through the first one.
Just go to the second one then.
That's fine.
Can you just tell me what happens in episode one?
What's just,
he's just trying to get people to come to the island.
To the island.
Yeah.
Because he's the mayor.
Yeah.
And then there's just one guy who's like,
you can't do this.
This place is haunted.
People are going to die.
And he's like,
you're crazy.
You're like an old crazy sailor.
Okay.
And then the forthcoming episodes are,
that guy's right.
Oh.
That place is haunted.
That place is fucking dangerous.
And it gets good.
It gets, it's amazing.
It's, I am so excited.
It comes out on Wednesday.
I'm excited.
You're that invested.
I can't wait for Wednesday.
Wow.
Okay.
Shit.
All right.
Well,
I'll give it another go.
Okay.
Yeah,
I'll give it another go.
I'm obsessed with Margot's Got Money Troubles.
Did you start it?
No.
Oh, Wells.
I know,
but you're doing it,
so I don't need to do it.
Oh, but it's really good.
I think you can watch it.
It's really,
really good.
Okay.
That's the one I'm like hanging on for whatever day it comes out.
I'm like, I can't wait for the new episode.
What else?
I watched the season finale of Marshall's.
Spoiler alert, I guess.
If you don't want that to be ruined,
I feel like I was like late to the party on it.
But if you don't want me to ruin the end of Marshalls for you,
just skip ahead 30 seconds here.
Riley Green's character gets killed off.
But. Sionora.
See you later.
No way.
Yeah.
It's all right.
I feel like he did it, you know.
Yeah.
He did it.
He had a few episodes.
He made his point.
I got to say, he's another one, though, at the ACMs.
Like, just, I think probably the loudest screams in the arena were for him, like, that night,
out of everybody there.
The women just fucking love him.
They love him.
And I got to say, he's been doing music for a while.
I am glad to see he's finally getting the recognition he deserves, but I do feel like being
on Marshalls has really put him on the map because the screams were loud.
What's his name?
Riley Green, country artist.
And Luke Grime just still alive.
Luke Ramsey. Oh, yeah, he's the lead.
Okay.
Yeah.
And then my friend Ariel.
Kebill.
Yeah.
She and Luke and the Ash Girl.
They're the leads.
And Logan Marshall Green, who's in everything.
She looks pretty.
Those four are like the leads.
Yeah, it's good.
Anyway, and then I have not been able to start it yet, but the new Yellowstone spinoff of,
it's called like Dutton Ranch or something.
Yeah.
It's Beth and Rip's spin off.
I've heard that it's fucking amazing.
Everyone's like everyone that has shit on Marshalls, which I'm
like marshals, but I understand why Yellowstone fans are like, there's not really a whole lot
about the, like the Dutton's on Marshalls. It's really like a whole new storyline. But obviously
with Beth and Rip, it's going to continue on that storyline. And so I think people really love that.
But it's gotten rave reviews. Everyone's obsessed. So I can't wait to start that.
I watched something last night that is like one of my favorite things I've seen in a while.
Really? Yes. Okay. It's called They Will Kill You. It's funny. Like I feel like horror.
It's happening a moment. It is bad.
Like thrillers and horrors.
So this is the closest thing to a Tarantino film that I've seen in a long time that isn't a Tarantino film.
Okay.
It's almost like, it's very reminiscent of like the Kill Bill with the fighting, the choreography, and the blood spray.
And then also a leading lady who is a hero of the entire thing.
We love that.
A woman takes a job as a housekeeper in a New York City high rise on a woman.
aware of the building's history of
disappearances. She soon realizes
the community is shrouded
in mystery. They will kill
you. You can rent it right now on
Prime Video or on Apple.
We rented it on Apple. So
the lead is
Zazi Beetz.
She was in Deadpool.
She's the girl that her superpower in Deadpool is
that she's lucky. And Deadpool's like
that's not a thing and then it actually is a thing.
Patricia Arquette is in it. Heather
Graham is in it. Tom
Felton from Harry Potter.
Hello, Potter.
He's in it.
So it is fantastic.
Okay.
The way it's shot cinematography-wise is insane.
It's a never-ending fight scene with this girl who's just a badass bitch that just
is killing a lot of people.
Sick.
Very bad people.
Okay.
I won't ruin the twist for you because it happens in the beat, right?
One of the twists happens in the beginning and you're like, what?
And then you're like, oh.
Very, very fun.
We finished it last night, both Sarah and I were like, that was awesome.
Like, what an amazing.
And they've also set it up.
They could do another one.
But anyways, movie, we highly recommend you go rent it.
They will kill you on Apple TV or on Prime.
Fantastic film.
Okay, sick.
Yeah.
We watched something else that was, I mean, it's not a horror, but it felt like a horror.
Apex.
Oh, you did watch it.
Did you watch it?
No, because Matt went on a trip and I was trying to be nice and wait for him.
to get home. Because it's Australian. Because I thought it was something we could watch together.
Because it's Australian and also it seems like it's like a thriller, right? Like it just seemed
like something maybe he wouldn't want to watch. Yeah. He gets home and I'm like,
maybe you're going to be so proud of me. I waited for you to watch this movie. And he's like,
no, I'm I watched it on the plane. He watched it on the fucking plane. Yeah, he did. Without me.
So I haven't seen it. Is it good? A mountain climber haunted by a fatal decision in Norway
retreats to the Australian wilderness for isolation.
Her journey turns into a desperate hunt
when a deceptive local targets her
as his next ritualistic prey in the bush.
Apex.
Okay.
Thoughts.
Charlize Theron.
Love.
Terran Egerton.
Love.
Eric Banna.
Oh, love.
Great cast.
Great cast.
It starts out with them mountain climbing.
Okay.
That's stressful.
It is.
Okay?
It's like watching free stuff.
solo and you're like, I felt like our feet were sweating all the time, like the entire time
watching it because it was just like, ugh. Okay. You know? Yeah. But people like that stuff.
Taryn Egerton, fantastic. He's great actor. He is so good. Yeah. He is so scary.
Charlie's Theron is just a badass bitch. For one, I don't even understand. She's got to be in her 50s.
She looks fucking amazing. It looks amazing. And then she's, she's mountain climbing this entire time.
And she's like running around. She's fighting and stuff. And she is, I'm like, I don't
understand how this works. I don't know. But anyways, they're absolutely fantastic together.
Is it great? It's just hard to watch. Okay. The twist is gross. You know, like you're going to be like,
oh, but serial killery stuff, but like ritualistic. It's like it's messed up when you get there.
Yeah. But anyways, we liked it. It was just our feet were sweating the entire time. Okay, okay.
So I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Yeah. Just is a thing. Yeah. So yeah. I'm going to watch it.
Apix. Speaking of Eric Bana. Yeah. I remember.
the show that he had the Netflix show that was set in Yosemite?
Yes.
Is that coming back?
I loved that show.
Untamed.
Oh, yeah.
I remember this.
Remember that show?
Yeah.
Are they going to bring that back?
I loved it.
I don't know.
Let's see.
It's officially in production on location in Hawaii.
Hurry.
In Hawaii.
Wasn't the first one in like Yosemite.
Yeah, maybe he had to leave.
Yeah, he got to go another nice place.
Leave it behind.
Yeah.
Great show.
All right.
I'm glad that Eric Bannis coming back.
Yeah.
Love him.
I watched something that I didn't care for.
Okay.
Nemesis.
Oh, doesn't sound good.
On paper it sounds, it looks pretty cool.
All right.
Okay.
L.A. crime drama pits master thief, Coltrane Wilder against Detective Isaiah Stiles,
challenging heist genre norms while examining what drives, sustains, and destroys people.
Nemesis.
It takes place in Los Angeles.
Okay.
It starts with a very fun robbery.
Okay.
Or they dress up as old-timey robbers.
They're like a high-stakes poker game.
They break in and they steal millions of dollars in a petite
watch or whatever.
They're all dressed up like,
with mask on and stuff.
And then there's another guy who's the cop who's like,
he wants to be on the case.
But there's like the white cop is like,
this is my case.
And so it's like a cop drama situation.
Can I, so on paper.
It sounds all right.
Sounds like heat.
Great movie.
Was it?
Have you never seen Heat?
I don't think so.
Really?
With Al Pacino and Robert De Niro?
No, I don't think I saw that.
And Val Kilmer?
Do I need to see that?
Fantastic film.
Okay.
I bet you Matt has seen Heat.
Okay.
One of the best shootout scenes ever.
Oh.
Anyways, it's very reminiscent to me of Heat.
And I hate to say this, but the acting is just unbearable.
At a point.
You're just, this is just terrible.
That's a bummer.
So anyways, I didn't love Nemesis.
Okay.
Yeah.
Bummer.
I don't know if you're caught up on Survivor, dude.
Survivor.
Survivor.
Survivor.
So good.
I don't watch Survivor.
You should watch Survivor.
You know what?
I got on deck that I got to watch first.
What?
The new season of Perfect Match.
Oh, you're going to watch that.
Oh, I love.
What does that show about?
What do you mean?
I don't know.
Yes, you do.
We've talked about it.
What is the perfect match about?
Perfect match.
They pull contestants from all these other reality shows and Love is Blind and To Watch
to handle.
Yeah.
And they put them on a reality show and they all date each other.
Very good.
There's a new show called The Audacity, which is on AMC Plus.
Have you heard of this?
No.
In the bubble of Silicon Valley, the unorthodox relationship between a wannabe tech
titan and his therapist illustrate the Valley's madness and failings, the audacity.
It's got the vibe of like succession.
Oh.
And then also Silicon Valley combined.
The cast is amazing.
Billy Magnuson is like the main character.
And so he is like this tech bro guy that is having some,
he's trying to like sell his company and he's trying to inflate the numbers for the IPO and
all this stuff.
But that's, you know, illegal.
But the cast is amazing.
So you have Simon Helberg who was in Big Bang Theory.
Oh, yeah.
Lucy Punch, who was in, she's like one of the funniest people ever.
She's like Sarah's favorite actor.
Rob Cordroy is in it.
Zach Gallif.
Nacchus is in it.
And then did you ever watch Barry?
No, I didn't.
Sarah Goldberg from Barry is the therapist.
And so she's his,
she's Billy's therapist and she can't stand him
because he's just the worst person in the world.
He loves to play an unlikable character.
He has.
He has. He has.
Yeah.
He's a good villain.
He is.
Yeah.
The audacity.
I recommend.
Okay.
And where do you watch that?
That was,
on AMC.
AMC.
Interesting.
Okay.
We're still doing from.
I need you to get on board with From.
I need to watch that.
Like,
there's a part of me that's like maybe I just give you like my, my, uh,
MGM plus login because I,
no, my mom has that somehow.
Oh, she does?
Yeah, it was, because I looked for it.
It was a, I can watch it through prime.
She must have a subscription.
Yeah, you can get it on prime or you can get it on Apple.
Yep.
You got to watch it.
Okay.
Did you like walking dead?
I only watched like season one.
Yeah.
I did like it though.
I just, I just didn't stick with it.
Did you like Lost?
I loved Lost for like the first, how many seasons were there, 12?
Okay, so the creator of the first like six seasons.
The creator of Lost is the guy who made this show.
Oh, okay.
So it's very much like that where you're like, are they in purgator?
Like, where are it?
You know?
Yeah.
But a lot of ghosts and ghouls.
Okay, I'm going to make Matt watch that with me though because it might be scary.
It is a little scary.
It is creepy.
Okay.
But like creepy in a fun way.
Yeah.
Okay.
Are all the episodes out of from or do you have to watch it every fucking week?
Well, season four is coming out every week.
But you can, yeah, you need to take care of three seasons.
Yeah, okay.
Which you'll rip through.
Okay.
Because you're gonna get hooked.
Hooked.
When is Night of the Seven Kingdoms coming back?
Expected to premiere on HBO and Max in early 2027.
Ugh.
I know.
It's devastating.
It shows so good.
It was very good.
This is how to deal with Jesus lovers.
I do I'm doing.
Look at all these nice plants.
Look at all these nice plants.
Hi.
How are you today?
Doing good.
How are you?
Good.
My name is Julie and this is my friend Kim.
We were just stopping by briefly.
I just had a little track that I was leaving that takes you to your copy of the Bible.
And it's entitled, Is Living with Pain or Sadness?
I'm sorry.
I'm a witch.
Oh, okay.
Okay, have a good day.
That's good.
I'm, I got to stop you right there.
Just so you know, I'm a witch.
So funny.
That is good.
I want to use that next time I see someone,
one of those, like, crazy people in the street.
Like, Lower Broadway has a lot of those where they're, like,
holding signs and they're like, repent now.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That's good.
I know.
Guys, I'm a witch.
Stop you right there.
Yeah.
Your efforts will not work on me.
No.
Why if Tier sent me this, I thought this was kind of fun.
Like, what the fuck?
I feel like they overdub this audio under this video.
No, she's singing along.
You've got a problem.
Take it up with.
Pastor, if you really want to.
Don't pay me shit to listen.
So if you want you some attention, just tell someone who cares.
Where is this?
I know a place you can shove at your thoughts.
Tell someone who cares.
You suck a dick.
Your phone.
That is funny.
Oh, man.
That's really good.
I really enjoyed that.
Yeah.
Thanks to the YF tier who sent me that.
Great one.
I know I see to clip that one part like tell someone who cares suck a dick.
Yep.
That's the sound bite.
And then we got some DM sent to us.
Oh, let's hear it.
You want to get into this?
Yeah, I like hearing from the wife's ears.
All righty.
Let's see.
McKenna recommends remarkably bright creatures on Netflix based on a book and it's so cute,
wholesome and a great message.
All right.
Let's figure out what this is.
I might need to watch that after all this horror shit.
Oh, yeah.
This is the one with Sally Field and Bill Pullman's kid.
Lewis Pullman, through unlikely bonds formed during night shifts at a local aquarium.
Tova, an elderly widow, learns of a life-changing discovery that may bring her joy and wonder once again, remarkably bright creatures.
I think it's a movie.
I think so, too.
Yeah, hour 51.
Oh, Netflix.
Okay, we'll watch that.
Yeah, that looks good.
Yeah.
This says, uh, on the step sibling porn from last week.
Oh, God.
Love it.
Haley says, isn't cluel.
her falling for her stepbrother.
Also in the new season of jury duty called Company Retreat,
the team talks about stepsisters being the most popular.
See, first of all.
That's a thing.
And you know what?
Paul Rudd started this.
Did he?
I don't think it, you know,
I don't think it was Game of Thrones who started this.
You think it was Paul Rudd?
It was Paul Rudd who did this to us.
Because everyone watched that and was like, man, Paul Rudd.
I'd probably hook up with my stepbrother if it was Paul Rudd.
And then also, yeah, I would,
probably hook up with Alicia Silverstone if she was my step sis.
True.
You know?
Yeah.
My only thing that always kind of bugged me about that was Paul Rudd was supposed to be in
college, right?
He was at UCLA.
And that's why he was living with them.
Yep.
She was in high school.
Mm, yeah.
Let's say he was a sophomore?
Yeah.
She still might not have been 18 yet.
No, yeah, maybe not.
Yikes.
It was a different time back then.
It was, but still yikes.
You know, though my grandma got married at 16.
That's insane.
My grandpa was not in his hick.
He was older than that.
Yikes.
And like totally not even, no one.
No one bad at an eye.
Bad at an eye.
What?
Different times.
Yeah.
You know.
Amanda says,
check out comedian Caitlin Puffalo.
She was just on Kevin Hart's comedy show on Netflix.
Great female comedy for Brandy's new venture.
Ooh, okay.
All right.
I love it.
Pufelo.
Caitlin Pufelo.
Oh, hello, peflow.
And Sue says,
Brandy, you need to watch conspiracies and cover-ups
episode three on Discovery all about the Denver airport.
You guys know I love the Denver Airport conspiracy.
I did not.
I'm going to write that down.
I'm going to go watch that.
Let me write that down too.
Yeah.
Conspiracies and cover-ups,
episode three on Discovery.
Love it.
It's great.
I think Matt will enjoy that as well.
Yeah.
Tell you what,
I'm spending a lot of fucking money on this house renovation.
Yeah, tell us all about it.
I feel like we haven't got enough.
day recently. Guys, it's so hard.
Like, and I know everyone knows that
renovating a house is hard. There's so many memes
on Instagram about how many arguments will ensue
with your significant other whilst renovating
this house. Yeah. They were right.
Is it tearing you guys apart?
We're very much together.
Yeah. But boy, oh boy, do we argue about the
dumbest shit? Man.
Oh, yeah. Super fun. There's something
to be said about a turnkey situation.
There is. But then it does, it's not, like,
you. Like it's very, like, I love the idea that I'm going to get to pick out everything and that this house is going to like look like me. Yeah, yeah. You know? Totally. But what expense, really, you know? At what cost? At what cost? Last week's argument was all about the laundry room. What's wrong with the laundry room? Tell me all about it. Well, we're starting from scratch. We're making a new laundry room in this house. Didn't have one before. And God bless, Matt, has a lot of opinions about how a laundry room should function, which is funny considering he does no laundry. You know? Okay. Hold on. What?
What are his thoughts that are different from your thoughts?
Oh, well, the first argument was over what type of washer and dryer we should buy.
I really, I really like a top loading washer.
And because it's more practical, it's easier to clean.
It's not as smelly, less mold.
It's really easy to just take a basket and dump it in there.
Like, there's just a lot of things I love about a top loading washing machine.
Aesthetically, I understand that front loading washer and dryer next to each other looks lovely.
I agree.
The problem is not practical.
And all Matt cares about is aesthetics.
Yeah.
He doesn't do laundry.
And so that was, we started there.
Okay.
And it has then gone.
Who won that?
He did, which is fucked up because he doesn't do laundry.
Yeah.
But I let him have it.
I let him have it.
And then we continued to have disagreements about the layout of the washer and dryer.
And that, you know, we're going to build it, have like build ins and do the cabinet.
And practically, since I do the laundry, I would like things like hanging space to hang dry
pants and things that we don't put in the dryer, you know?
I would like a storage cabinet for the vacuum cleaner and the Roomba, things that are practical.
And he's like, I'd really love a bitch to sit on and take my shoes off when I come in the house.
So it's like it's a mud room now too?
I mean, it's kind of both.
Yeah.
Okay.
But also like, why don't you come in the garage and do that?
You know, that sounds like a better place to leave shoes if you ask me.
And like, of course, you know, it would be really nice is if we could have a mudroom and a laundry room.
But we can't.
So we have to settle.
It has to be a combo.
And laundry is more important, you know?
And so that's been fun.
You guys have a sink in there?
No, we're no sink.
No sink.
No sink.
I don't really, I don't really understand why people put sinks in laundry rooms.
We got one in there and I don't know why.
You don't use it, right?
I've never used it.
I don't even know if the water works.
Matt wanted to put a sink and I said absolutely not because that's not necessary.
Yeah.
I guess maybe some people like spot wash.
Yeah, I think that's what happens.
I don't do that.
So I don't need that.
We have very limited space in this laundry room.
And so I just really, I am so big on practicality.
Like, I want the place to function, the whole house, you know?
And Matt,
being the Virgo, you know,
motorcycle builder that he is,
he's like all about aesthetics.
And I,
you know,
I think there's a world
where we just both bring our strengths
to this project
and it can be,
it can aesthetically look really great
and it can be practical and function.
So hopefully we get there.
You know?
Well, good luck.
Yeah.
But God bless him.
Matt did stay home this week to work on the house.
Did he?
Yeah, that was nice because times a ticking.
Okay, so you lost the laundry really.
I did.
Have you won anything?
Oh, yeah.
What have you won?
The majority of things I would probably is.
You got to throw him a bone every once in a long.
Not that bone.
Like, he doesn't do laundry.
Yeah, but I'm sure he's thinking, well, I'm conceding on everything.
Can I have one win?
What else he wants on?
Well, I'm trying to think.
You know what else he won on?
You know what?
I need him to listen back to this episode because he's won a few things.
Okay.
So Matt wanted to paint everything black.
His house in Australia, everything's black.
The outside, the inside walls, the kitchen.
Like, everything is black.
And it's very cool.
It's a bachelor pad.
It's very moody and sick.
It doesn't function.
The whole house doesn't function.
But we have a lot of natural light and a lot of windows.
So I said we could paint the walls black.
And the kitchen's going to be black in the living room.
It's going to be very cool.
Okay.
But since he got the black living space, I said that I want a terracotta bathroom.
Okay.
Which he thinks is pink.
It's terracotta.
Yeah.
Looks a little pink in some lights.
Yeah.
Terracotta.
But I got to have that one.
And I got to design that whole.
bathroom.
I like that's a good color for a bathroom.
It's beautiful and it's going to go great with like the earthiness, moodiness of the rest
of the house.
Yeah.
So I did win that and there's going to be really gorgeous burgundy tile in that shower
and that bathroom.
It's going to be sick.
Nice.
Yeah.
A chevron.
Herringbone.
Herring bone.
There it is.
Herring bone.
Well, this is what I suggest you guys do.
As someone who has been married for a while, you should start a list of the things that
you win and then the things that he wins.
and then you can say like, well, you're three up on me right now.
So I get this next one.
You're right.
Yeah.
Yep.
And then you guys are both happy because you're like, well, hold on.
We're even right now.
That's true.
Yeah.
Because that's what marriage is, you know?
You know what else I want?
He wanted to keep carpet in the bedrooms, which I just thought was insane, considering we
have four dogs.
And I won that.
We put hardwood floors all throughout the house.
Yeah, you can put carpets down.
Yeah, rugs, yeah.
Always have hardwood floor.
Always.
Always.
Carpets carry mold, pet dander.
The dog's pissed.
It's so hard to clean it.
Oh, no, thank you.
He had a carpet.
You know, what's worse is dog puke.
That's hard to clean up.
It's all bad.
Oof.
Not on a hardwood floor.
Wipes right up.
Yeah, guys.
So we're trudging along.
Matt's at home pouring concrete today.
Is he?
Thank God that that's getting done.
For what?
That's something else I let him win.
We're redoing the driveway.
Let him have the driveway.
He can have the driveway.
Yeah.
It's expensive driveway.
I'll tell you that.
Well, so what did you win?
I didn't want to redo the driveway.
I said it was fine, even though it actually
it needed to be done.
I imagine the guy with a motorcycle probably wants a driveway
to be pretty safe.
He wants it to be dead.
Yeah.
So it's getting redone.
Yeah, that's good.
How much is this thing going to cost?
Too much.
In comparison to what it's going to be worth.
Oh, well, I hope it's going to be worth a lot more
because Matt's doing all the work.
So we're saving all the money in labor costs.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't even know.
Put some equity into it, you know?
I do think the house, it's going to be a very cool house.
For all these losers that are moving from L.A. to Nashville,
if we ever decided to sell it, they're going to love it, you know?
Where do you move after they all move there?
I don't know.
Montana.
Yeah.
Colorado.
Winners, though, dude.
I don't mind it.
You don't?
No.
Not for me.
You're a little L.A. boy.
I'm just a California kid.
California boy.
I mean, I want to live in Monterey.
I was going to say, you know what?
Matt just rode through Northern California and he's like wants to move there.
Yeah.
Does you tell him that's where I'm from?
Yeah, so I'm not paying California State Income tax.
Thanks, though.
The tax is...
Shitty.
What you get out of it.
And you not only do you pay California State income tax,
you also pay the insane sales tax, which is almost 10%.
I know, that's a tax for living here.
Like, at least in Nashville, it's like the sales tax fucking sucks,
but at least there's no state income tax.
Yeah, but...
Montana, no sales tax.
But it's 74 degrees outside right now.
I don't care. I don't want to be broke.
No amount of sunshine makes it better to be broke.
I'll be broke and in a...
temperate climate.
All right.
I think I think we did it.
Okay, great.
I know you got to get to your,
your margaritas or waiting.
Well, it's my birthday's home.
Are you,
are you going to have a frozen margarita
or like just like a regular like margarita on the rocks?
I might get a frozen one because you know it comes in a big old bowl.
Huge fish bowl.
Yeah.
So yummy.
We'll probably do,
uh,
fajitas para toast.
Yum.
You know?
Do you guys want to come?
Do you want to come over to,
uh,
Don Cucco?
Sorry to Casa Vega.
Casa Vega.
See Sarah almost got into me.
Got it.
Got it.
Oh,
I am,
I need to go to bed.
Yeah.
Immediately.
But I appreciate the invite.
All right.
What you got coming up?
I hope you have a great birthday.
Wednesday, I'm going back to Vegas for a secret show.
Thursday I'll be back here.
Okay.
Friday, Miley's getting her Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
Oh, you're going to that?
I'm going to go to the ceremony.
Fun.
That should be super fun.
And then this weekend I go back home.
When do you go back home?
Saturday.
What time on Saturday?
Early.
Yeah.
Why?
I don't say we can record again, but.
Oh, my flight's at 7 a.m.
Damn.
Dang.
I'm leaving town next week.
Where you going?
I'm going to Tampa.
What for?
Golf channel stuff.
Golf is Wells' life.
It's the only thing that's pay me any money right now.
That's nice.
You know?
Yeah.
So it is what it is.
Full long flight, though.
By the way, so on my golf show today, you know who we had on?
Carson Daly.
Ah.
Delight that guy is.
I can see you getting along with Carson Daly.
I was like, you're all radio guy, aren't you?
And he's like, yeah.
And I was like, man, you know, I wanted.
That's what I thought.
thought I was going to be. I thought I was going to host TRL. Yep. You know, like that I thought that I looked
like him too. Totally. We were both from California. I was like, this is my path. This is me. Yeah.
But he is an absolute delight. And he loves to play golf. He's coming out here to do the voice,
obviously. Yep. So he's like, I would love to play. We're going to play golf. We're we're old
friends now. That's cool. And then you know who I'm recording with next week. Luke Wilson. Oh, wow.
Big time. Wow. That's his brother. But still. Yeah.
brother.
I feel like they both kind of do it though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So anyways, those are fun.
Sick.
Yeah.
Love that for you.
All right.
Are we good?
Yeah, I got to go to bed.
All right.
Okay, bye.
See ya.
Can't wait until we have the new dick sound bite.
I know, that'll be good.

Suck a dick and get off your phone.

Bye.
See ya.
Tell someone who cares.
It is hilarious.
Get up with your Bible.
