Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Back to the Future with Tarzan & Jane

Episode Date: November 4, 2020

We might not have Bachelorette content for you this week, but we’re still bringing the drama between Brandi and Ry’s nearly naked Instagram photo (suh-hot that it’s blocked by some accounts) and Wells’ passionate rant about social media daredevils. A potentially still hungover Wells and Brandi recap their Halloween celebrations which involved a loincloth, a DeLorean, and some pretty incredible costumes all around. The hosts are also talking intermittent fasting, conspiracy theories, and how in the world people come up with the ideas behind insurance commercials. And, of course, they’re sharing their new favorite things, including an advertiser with the best opening line over, a movie starring Armie Hammer (who has the coolest name in Hollywood), and a doc involving aliens (or maybe us from the future... TBD)! Thanks to our awesome sponsors for making this episode possible!

All right, just take the Reese's that you want and go, okay? We don't want any trouble from you trick-or-treaters. Oh, Brady's here. Let's do it.

Hello. Oh. What up? Under eye patches? Oh, yeah. I'm so impressed. I'm gonna watch Crow's Feet, yo. Are you still hungover from Halloween?

It's not a two-day hangover, but I just feel so fat, all so i'm just i'm saying it right now and i want to be held accountable by you and all the yf tears your boy is about to start i don't know what we want to call i'm getting fit the covid 19 is coming off okay we're getting back down to fighting weight we're gonna look good for what don't know actually i do know i think sarah and i because sarah's birthday is coming up, by the way. 30th birthday. Oh, yeah. She's a Sag.

Yeah. I don't like, she says that too. I'm a Sag. It sounds so much like vag that I don't like it. Yeah. I love a Sag though. So do I. I just don't like the word.

I'm a Sag. You know? No. I think we're going to do something like go you know sit on a beach somewhere where i don't know how don't know i think you can technically go to mexico i just don't know if like sarah should go to mexico fair i don't know we're gonna do something something where there will be a i'm gonna be in a bathing suit and people are gonna have to see my body so you know what new wells november here. Here we go. Oh, okay. I like

that. I'm currently on a intermittent fast. Do you know anything about intermittent fasting? I can't say I've ever tried it, but I have a friend. We should get him on the pod if you're into it. He's like all about it. He's like a health guy. People live by it. And so basically what it is, is like you don't eat for between like, I think like 16 and 24 hours. Yeah. So you, and you have like a window. The fact that I'm like telling people, and I have no idea what I'm talking about is interesting, but like, so I think I'm going to do that. I mean, I'm so I'm going to have like my last meal by seven o'clock or like maybe like seven, seven 30. And then I'm going to try to intermittent fast four days out of the week. Won't start eating until like one or two or do a whole 24.

Is that crazy? Okay. Here's my thing. Okay. So Rye actually was doing this for a hot minute. I think his mom was doing it too. They say, who are they? I don't know.

But they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Yeah. I don't know. That totally contradicts intermittent fasting principles. You know why it's called breakfast? Because you're breaking your fast. Yeah, I don't know. That totally contradicts intermittent fasting principles. You know why it's called breakfast is because you're breaking your fast. Yeah, because you break your fast. Maybe your last meal

needs to be earlier. I think that's probably the key. Fair, but also, there are no rules, Brandy. I can still have eggs, Benedict, bacon, sausage, fucking a side of heart disease at two in the afternoon.

You can. You don't have to do it at 9 a.m. when you wake up. You're right. I'm doing that. I'm going to get fit. It's all happening right here in the afternoon. You can. You don't have to do it at 9 a.m. when you wake up. You're right. I'm doing that. I'm going to get fit. It's all happening right here in the belly area. So I got to shed that.

I think it happens when you get old. Fuck, I know. I'm wearing fucking eye patches right now. I'm talking about belly fat. It's not good. It's not. We need to say this on the front end. We are recording this before the election.

Okay? Today is the second. This episode will come out on the fourth, which, by the way, we're not going to know who the new president is by the fourth. That is my prediction. I don't think so either. Yeah. Our producers are like, don't make sure you tell everyone so they'll get mad at you, which is fair because everyone's sensitive. I don't think we're going to know.

I don't know if we're going to know till like Christmas time. That's insane. Yeah. Well, nothing would surprise me anymore, Brandy. Nothing. I don't think we'll know the day of or the next day. Yeah. I think they'll, I think they'll draw this bad boy out as long as they can. Oh man. I don't know who they are, but they will do it. They're the same people that say breakfast is the most important meal today. Yeah. They're those people.

Gotta love them. We toiled with it, and I guess we need to talk about it, but because of the election, I just, first of all, I love how The Bachelor is just programming around any competition.

They're like, Monday night football? Fuck it, do it on Tuesday. An election that could change the entire course of human history in America? fuck it just move it to thursday so we don't have bachelor talk what do you want to do do you want to do like a special episode or do you just want to have just double down next episode i don't i'm kind of open to either i just don't want to edit two episodes in one week yeah so so maybe we just double down next week.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. You guys tell us what you think, I guess. You can DM us. Yeah, if you guys are like super desperate for a Bachelor recap by like Thursday or Friday, I guess, let us know. Yeah, we'll do it.

We can always just go on Instagram Live too and recap. That's true. Just watch my stories. I'm sure I'll make fun of it and then it'll be the same thing. You know? Yeah. Which by the way, I've been seeing that Bennett for Bachelor is getting a lot of traction these days. A lot of

traction. I'm just always right, Brandy. That's the thing. I knew Bennett. I knew Bennett was going to be a big player this season. Love him. He's just such a standout and there aren't many other standouts as far as a big personality and character. Fair enough. He's just such a standout and there aren't many other standouts like as far as like a big character, a big personality and you know, character. Fair enough. Well, do you want to start the show? Yeah, we should probably probably start the show. Let's do it. You or me? I think it's you. Bros and hoes. You're listening to your favorite thing

podcast with Wells and Brandy. Want to go ahead and start the show with my favorite costume of the year, which was. Was it your own? No, it was Jane and Tarzan, but like dead Jane and Tarzan, where Tarzan just wasn't wearing a fucking loincloth. He was just like, dick out. Let's roll, baby. This is what Tarzan would have done. He would have had his dick flop flopping around i know that he's wearing a loincloth but in the picture you posted it just looks like he's fucking naked i know well that's why the caption had to be that i was acknowledging that he was

wearing one what's insane is we took like 55 photos of course and that was the one i liked the best yeah and it was the only one where he looked naked how does he feel about it because i know that he's got kind of like a weird attitude towards social media in general so how does he feel about one you're kind of like making him now this instagram model and then two now like thousands of people are seeing him in a very very like he went from no social media presence to, like, his dick might be out, we're not really sure. Like, it's gone so far from left to right.

Oh, my God. Well, okay, so originally he was, like, when we came up with the Jane and Tarzan idea, which, I gotta be honest, Olivia Caridi was the one that came up with the Jane and Tarzan idea, so shout out, Olivia. He was like, oh, yeah, love it. And then when I showed him what costume he had to wear, he was like, oh. Yeah. And then when it came in the mail, he was like, Oh yeah, love it. And then when I showed him what costume he had to wear, he was like, Oh yeah. And then when it came in the mail, he was like, Oh, and he was like,

um, I don't know. Like, can you like go out and find me like some more clothes to wear with this costume? And I was like, no, this is the costume. Like this is, this is it. At first I thought he was going to be a little insecure about just wearing that around. But then he was like, you know what? If you give me some makeup so I can like put some dirt and mud over my body, I thought he was going to be a little insecure about just wearing that around. But then he was like, you know what? If you give me some makeup so I can put some dirt and mud over my body, I'll feel better about it. And so we did that. And then I think doing the dead version of Jane and Tarzan helped too because he got to put a bunch of stuff on his face or whatnot. I made it more of like a costume. And he was owning it.

He wore it all night long. Did you have like a small little quarantine party i did there was probably like eight to ten of us yeah over here including us which was nice it actually you know me i usually love throwing a big party but it actually was kind of nice just having our close friends over here and having it be more intimate like in the beginning of the night he was like so so we wear the costumes all night and i was like oh yeah all night you can't take it off talween he really owned it he was working it he and he i like gave him photo approval and he was like post it yeah wow all right he's all about this is ignorant but it's a real question is halloween big in south africa no this so technically this was his first halloween really

i don't think many places besides the U.S. celebrate Halloween. Okay. I think this is an American holiday. Fair enough. Everyone from fucking different countries listening, you're missing out on the best goddamn holiday that we got. Yeah. Because I remember being in the U.K. one year on Halloween with Miley. And she and I dressed up.

We were staying in a hotel there. And we dressed up as a devil and an angel. Of course, I was the angel. And we were like running around the hotel. No one else was dressed up as a devil and an angel of course i was the angel and we were like running around the hotel no one else was dressed up no one had on a costume everyone was just like having dinner per usual down there in the restaurant and and we were sitting down there and like everyone was staring we were like it's halloween yo dude i just don't think it's a thing anywhere that sucks it sucks for everyone else because one, it's the one holiday.

If you're a single man, Halloween's the best because girls are just dressed up like naked, basically. Just the best. And then everyone gets trashed and like stays in character generally throughout the night, which gets funnier. There's a bunch of candy around. You get to like kind of weirdly like intermingle, not this year so much, but like weirdly intermingle drunkenly with children, you know? We're like, what are you? Oh, you're a ghost. Super creepy when you say it like that, but yeah.

I like kids and I like talking to kids and I also like love like kids are fucking weird, bro. Like there's the kids who like want to be Iron Man and want to be Wolverine and want to be Superman, like, the normal thing. And then there's kids who are like, I want to be a Kleenex box. And you're like, what? Where did you come up with that, you know? My nephew wanted to be French fries. That's a great costume. Dude, they nailed it. And I was like, French fries?

And, you know, my sister-in-law was like, he fucking loves French fries. And I was like, listen, I get it, dude it dude i get it but i would never think that i've never for my costume idea i know but kids are like that they're like what's your favorite thing you know and kleenexes all right let's do it here's tarzan himself do you have any words for the wife tears about your costume? Oh, P.S. He shaved his face. I have to warn everyone.

He looks like a completely different human being. Oh, wow. Hey, buddy. I'm not a huge fan. Bring Tarzan back. Oh, I like it. Does this work? I like it.

Yeah, I like it. So you approve? I approve of this. But I'm also listening. I can't grow a beard because I grow facial hair like a seven-year-old Hispanic boy. I just want you to be more like me. But I will say this, you look great and also well done on the costumes, my man. Yeah?

Yeah, look good. It was sexual, but tasteful. Just a little bit sexual, yeah. It was very, very little in terms of costume. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Brandy was saying that you guys don't really do Halloween in South Africa. We don't really. As kids, you kind of throw on whatever you can find.

Yeah. Make yourself look kind of scary and then go ask for sweets and chocolate and stuff. We don't really celebrate it like the way the Americans celebrate it. The Americans. So now that you had your first kind of like American Halloween, what are your thoughts? Love it. I'm glad that you got like a good traditional American Halloween where everyone had to get dressed up slutty. You included, which is beautiful. Take a lot of pictures and get drunk.

That's America right there. Loving it. Loving it. Loving it. If that's the way it works here, sign me up. Well, I'm going to leave you with Brandy back. Okay. Thanks for the chat. Good catching up.

Hey, this is what we're going to do. We're going to do a poll on the YFT Instagram of a picture with facial hair and without facial hair. And we'll let the people decide what's better. Yes. Okay. Yes, please. Please. I'd love that please. I love that. Because I like it.

Some people say she doesn't like the clean shaven face because now I kind of look a little bit younger than her again. No, you say that. No one else says that. I kind of agree. See you, buddy. Literally only you. I mean, he does look a lot younger. No, not than me.

Look at these tish the dish jeans I've got going on. You are doing good. You're entering like a new phase where like you're getting thinner without working out. I'm entering in fucking no food November and trying to, you know, really turn back the hands of time. And you're over here just living Tish jean life. But I will say I like the no beard. That's because you can't grow a beard. Yeah, I know.

I said that. You couldn't hear because you changed headphones. Enough about your Halloween. Oh, my God. Seeing the DeLorean in your driveway was everything. Dude, people are of heaven asking, did you rent a DeLorean for Halloween? The answer is yes. And then they ask, was it worth it?

And I say, absolutely. It like, I mean, could you could you imagine that photo without the delorean wouldn't have worked absolutely wouldn't have worked which by the way like shockingly easy to rent a delorean that looks exactly like the one from back in the future all right well you do live in la true true true so i went online i just typed in like rent a delorean one popped up and they gave me a quote for like 600 bucks for it to come and like we can fucking play around on it. And then I found a-

Did you drive it? No, I couldn't drive it. Oh. It doesn't really go into the future. I don't really know if I need to drive it. It doesn't. Give me a refund. And then I found another website

and then I pit the people against each other and I got into like a bidding war with them. Shockingly reasonable to rent a DeLorean for the night. That's all I'm saying. And that's one of my favorite things in the world. But this one was amazing. Like they had, everything was in it. They even had the hoverboard in it.

I don't know if you noticed that. They had a hoverboard in it. Yeah, I saw that. So anyways, yeah, it was really, and then I felt so bad because this is the one year that like you can't have kids come into the driveway, basically. Like we just had like our bowl of candy outside and all the kids wanted to fucking play around in the delorean i'd be like hey listen guys covid stay

back all right stay over there do not touch would you say that this photo this halloween instagram post got more likes than any other was it like the biggest oh i don't know i haven't gone like looked at the likes i was trying to decide if i thought it was the best or not what was like your second choice for best well i have different ones like obviously stranger things was a big one because that's how like we kind of announced that we were dating so like that one probably just got a lot because everyone's like what the fuck's going on here and then in terms of cleverness taco bell was the best. Loved Taco Bell. Took people a second to figure it out.

Once they got there, like, oh, shit, that's good. And also like my tits look great as Bell. I think like makeup wise last year, David Bowie and Freddie Mercury was so good. That was the one that was the most spot on in terms of nailing it. This one, I rented a fucking DeLorean, though. So I don't know, man. I thought like the post that you guys put up this year literally looked like still shots from a movie set.

Oh, we got the ring light out there. Nick Viall was here. My brother was taking pictures and I was like, give Nick the fucking camera. All right, this man knows how to take a picture. And so he was out there just like art directing us. He was like, look over here, but like look down and like, oh, sucking your chin.

And I was like, thank you, Nick. This is what I needed. Oh my God. Favorite holiday, hands down. Oh, absolutely. Duh. Now we got to get through these other freaking holidays. You got any favorite things?

I got some fave things. Do you? Please tell me that you started watching The Third Day. No, what's that? Do you even listen when I talk? I talked about it last week it's the hbo series which you love oh no i you're right i didn't i wanted to start watching it but there's also part of me that's like well brandy's already on this i need to go

watch something else so like we're not like talking about the same thing okay that's fair but you do need to watch this show because it is so good. Have you finished Third Day or is it like, is it like, okay. And it's amazing. Amazing. And it actually got better. I mean, the whole idea intrigued me. It's like an island and there's a cult and creepy things are going on and like blood and guts and murder.

Oh, I love it. Got the storyline in the very beginning. Like I was like, I was like, I don't really know what's going on, but I like it. You know what I mean? Yeah. And then you get to like episode three and it's introduced a few new characters and you're like, I'm still, I still don't really know what's going on here, but I really like it. You know what I mean? Yeah. And then you get to like episode three and it's introduced a few new characters and you're like, I'm still,

I still don't really know what's going on here, but I really like it. And then there's only six episodes. So by the time you get to episode five, you're like, holy shit, this is, it's all connecting.

And it's amazing. I loved it so much. And it's, I don't want to ruin it. So I won't tell you how it ends or anything, but the ending was just like, I didn't really know what to expect for an ending, but it wasn't the way it ended.

And I, which I love that it, I just didn't expect it. I don't know. It's so good. The acting's great. And I watched the, at the end of the series, they show you like a behind the scenes, like making, you know, making the episodes or whatever, like they do for Game of Thrones. And just seeing how they shot it, the different color schemes for like the first couple episodes and then why they changed it and made it warmer for the second view or whatever like it was just like goes in depth that all that like art creative direction behind the scenes was amazing highly recommend okay all right brandy yeah we have ads yeah and i think this might be my favorite ad that we've ever gotten to do

um it's definitely the most on brand. Definitely the most on brand. So in the ad, the information that company sent us, the opening line suggested line for, do you have a butthole? This ad's for you. What? It's like Wells wrote it himself. It's like, you're so good. Anyways, we've talked about this before.

You know, you go to the bathroom, you wipe your butt with toilet paper. You're not really getting clean. We, yes, we live in the greatest country in the world. But I tell you what other countries have on us. You've never traveled abroad. You will learn that every country, for the most part, they all have bidets in their bathroom. And if you don't know what that is, you haven't lived, sister. It's basically a wonderful stream of water right to your butt.

Okay? And it cleans you up so much better than what we've been doing in the past. When you go over to Europe, there's a bidet in every hotel room. Yeah. It's everything, especially as a girl. When you're on your period, it is life. And when you go to Europe, generally a bidet like this whole other contraption next to a toilet. But our buddies over at the Hello Tushy figured out how to put a bidet right on your toilet seat for just $79. I feel like bidets are usually so expensive. Yeah.

But Hello Tushy cleans your butt. Precise, laser-focused accuracy, stream of water right to your cornhole. And I'm telling you what, it's an amazing feeling. The best part about this is it requires no electricity or additional plumbing. It's super easy to install. And I love this. It cuts toilet paper use by 80%. So the Hello Tushy bidet pays for itself in a few months because you're not buying as much toilet paper. Also, you're saving the forest. Exactly. And you're really cleaning

But the fact that the opening line they suggested for was, do you have a butthole? This ads for you. You only poop twice a day. You poop more than twice

a day. Sometimes three. Well. Concerned about you. They say you should poop after every meal. I'm a twice a day guy. I mean, sometimes I won't. I don't know who they are, but you know. Yeah, exactly. There they is again. All right, Brandy.

Holidays are right around the corner. Obviously, the world's going to look a little bit different this year. We're not going to be able to go kind of like two stores and shop. So everyone's going to be doing online shopping. And if you've got nieces and nephews or kids that you got to buy for, I've got a suggestion for you. I've got nine nieces and nephews. Whoa.

out with this little girl whose parents die in a car crash and then she becomes an orphan and. And she goes to this orphanage where they're, for some reason, like, drugging these kids. They're giving them tranquilizers, I guess, so they don't, like, act up or whatnot. And these drugs, like, are doing some weird shit to this girl. Messing with her mind. And then she, like, befriends the janitor in the basement who, like, plays chess. And turns out she's a fucking genius. And she's nine years old. Just absolutely just so

good at chess she finally gets adopted yada yada yada and kind of living with this family who's like kind of hard up for cash and she's like i really want to enter in these chess tournaments and in 1960s first of all women i guess didn't play chess and second of all it's not ladylike for you to go enter a chess tournament you know you should be the 1960s like she'd be cleaning the house and pruning the rose bushes all that kind of misogynistic bullshit from the 60s anyways turns out she's a fucking badass it's so good but she's got some demons because she's like a little bit addicted to these weird pills that they were giving her in the orphanage and the pills are kind of like it's a little bit of performance enhancing drugs. We're not really sure.

Like they kind of fuck her up. But like you can like see moves. It's crazy. The girl is Ann Taylor Joy. She was in Split. I don't know if you if you watch that. No, I didn't see that. Really good.

She was in The Witch. And then also in it, which is like, wait, what? Thomas Brody Sangster, who was the little boy in Love Actually, like the cute little kid in Love Actually. And now he's all grown up and for some reason dressed up like a chess playing Indiana Jones. It's confusing, but it's phenomenal. Anyways, I know it sounds nerdy to be like it's a it's a show about chess players, but it's very, very interesting. The Queen's Gambit. Also, it's getting it's, was like number one or number two on Netflix, like in America yesterday.

So it's not just me. Yeah. It's getting great reviews. Everyone's loving it. So anyways, check it out. I think you'll like it. Okay. Sounds good.

Yeah. We need something new. Have you seen the Netflix film, Rebecca? What's that about? I hate using the word remake, but it is. It was a film in 1940 that Alfred Hitchcock directed. Okay. That film was adapted from a novel. So this is like the new age version of it, but it's still like when you watch it, it's still like set in the 1940s. It

starts in Monte Carlo and then it's like all in Europe or whatnot. But anyway, the synopsis is a young newlywed arrives at her husband's imposing family estate on a windswept english coast and finds herself battling the shadow of his first wife rebecca whose legacy lives on in the house long after her death yeah that's like an okay synopsis so basically i loved it so much it's honestly one of my favorite things i've watched in so long and i never did see the hitchcock version some i might try to go back and watch that, but exceptional cast. Arnie Hammer plays the like hot lead, the guy, the rich guy.

By the way, coolest fucking name in Hollywood. Oh yeah. Armie, your name is Armie Hammer? I know, he's hot. He's still so hot. You're not allowed to be ugly if your name is Armie Hammer. You have to have at least a seven inch wang, flaccid, if your name is Army Hammer.

Okay? Imagine having a micropene and your name is Army Hammer. And girls would be like, more like Army Screwdriver. Continue on. He plays Maxim De Winter. He's like the rich dude whose wife passed away or whatever. Then you got Kristen Scott Thomas. You remember her?

No. Oh my God. She's been in so many things. Who's in the horse whisperer forever ago. Uh, she plays the like villain character, Mrs. Denbigh's who's like his housekeeper.

And, um, and then Lily James plays the lead female. Do you know who she is? Yeah. Okay. And then you, and she's so stunning.

And then you also have Sam Riley. Wow. Who's in it for a hot sec. Oh, and, and Dow, do you know who she is? No. Oh my God. She's, um, in a handmaid's tale. She's so stunning. And then you also have Sam Riley. Wow. Who's in it for a hot sec. Oh, Anne. Anne Dowd. Do you know who she is? No.

Oh, my God. She's in Handmaid's Tale. She's like the leader of the handmaids that treats them all like shit. Okay. Stellar cast. So it starts out there in Monte Carlo and Lily James's character. She plays female companion or some shit to Anne Dowd's character. And Anne Dowd's character is like this super rich, super terrible, obnoxious,

old, lonely woman who's basically paying Lily James to hang out with her and be her servant because she's old and alone. So it starts out like that. And then of course, Lily James like runs into Mr. DeWinta and everyone tells her like, it's almost like a Cinderella sob story. Like, oh, you're not in the same class as him. Like he'll never like, you know, stop trying or whatever. And of course they fall in love. Um, so that's how it begins. And then he takes her away to his estate. And then of course, like you, the whole thing is that his ex-wife is apparently like the

most beautiful and everyone was obsessed with her and everybody loves her and everyone treats Lily James like shit and basically says like, you'll never measure up. And then, you know, there's talk of like Rebecca's ghost and it's like a whole thing. And then, I don't know, I don't want to ruin it. It's just so freaking good. I really loved it. All right. So it's Disney.

Is it? No, I'm just saying like it's a princess and a prince. Oh, yeah. It is. It starts out that way the first half and then it takes a turn and gets like kind of scary. Yeah. When she's like in the estate is creepy as hell.

It does take a turn like a darker turn. Okay. It's good. Love it. I watched a kind of like fun, silly movie last night called Love and Monsters. Have you heard of that? No. It's the kid from Maze Runner.

Oh, I never saw that. Is that good? I don't know. If you're 12, it's great. I don't know. You know, it's 12. Oh, whatever. Dylan O'Brien is the main guy.

It's kind of similar to Zombieland. Oh, I love that movie. Yeah, it reminds me of that. It's like kind of funny and crazy and there's gore and stuff. And it's also like kind of tilted towards young adults, I guess. Here's the tag. In a monster infested world, Joel learns his girlfriend is just 80 miles away. To make the dangerous journey, Joel discovers his inner hero

to be with the girl of his dreams. It's basically like post-apocalyptic world. There's now monsters on the earth and they're just like absolutely destroying humans. And so like all humans are like living in bunkers underneath the ground, trying to stay alive. Joel, you know, was in love with this, uh, this girl named Amy before the apocalypse. So, you know, they got separated during the apocalypse. And he's, like, figured out how to, like, turn on radios and be able to communicate with, like, other colonies. He's figured out that his girlfriend's 80 miles away. So he has to go up on land and try to walk, you know, for seven days and get to the other colony, which is very dangerous because there's a ton of monsters there.

He's, like, kind of a big puss. Like, he gets scared and he can't really fight. And everyone's like, you go up there, you're going to die immediately. He comes across some fun people. He befriends a dog named Boy, who is the star of the show or the movie. It's really fun. I really liked it. Love of Monsters.

Go check it out. Cute. Okay. Yeah. All right, Brandy. If you're like me, you're always looking for the next great show to get obsessed with. One, because I love TV. And then two, I got to talk about it on the podcast with you, right?

So when I heard that David E. Kelly, you know David E. Kelly. He made like Ally McBeal and The Practice and Big Little Lies. He's got a new series coming to ABC. And I'm super pumped about this. Oh my gosh. I've been seeing commercials for this new show while I've been watching Dancing with the Stars every Monday. If you guys haven't heard, it's called Big Sky. And it's one of those edge of your seat thrill rides that's full of twists and turns you'll never see coming.

When two sisters go missing under the wide open skies of Montana, private detectives Cassie and Cody team up with Cody's ex-wife Jenny to find them before it's too late. The girls' disappearance soon reveals an even deeper mystery, one that some will do anything to keep hidden. It just goes to show you that even the most beautiful places can hide the darkest secrets. Sounds right up my alley. You know I love Montana. I'm trying to move there. Listen, Big Sky features an incredible cast. Number one, Ryan Phillippe's on it. Love him. Also, Catherine Winnick, Kylie Bunbury, and John Carroll Lynch. I can't freaking wait to watch this show. Yep.

Big Sky premieres Tuesday, November 17th on ABC. You've got to watch it. Time to go. All right, guys. Gotta give a shout out to my favorite razor, Billy. I just recently did a whole Instagram story series about the products I keep in my shower. And I hope you guys saw my cute pink Billy razor sitting in my shower.

and I have cut down so much by shopping at Billy. So for just nine bucks, you can get your starter kit plus free shipping. Always go to mybilly.com slash YFT. It's spelled my and then B-i-l-l-i-e dot com slash yft do it everybody needs a razor i know and if you think you don't you're very wrong and you're hairy go to my belly dot com slash yft i'm realizing that yft is probably i think i'm starting to become like a little bit of like a conspiracy theorist crazy person for when it comes to aliens and like you're right you're not wrong. But also like we're living in the end of times. So it kind of makes sense.

So I watched a documentary called Phenomenon, which basically lays out all the times in human history when people have like seen UFOs. And now because the government finally is accepting and agreeing and putting out the information that yes, there are UFOs. Now they call it call them AATIP. Anyways, this movie is all this documentary is all about UFOs and aliens. This documentary examines unidentified astral phenomenon with testimony from high ranking government officials and NASA astronauts.

Senator Harry Reid says it makes the incredible credible. Senator Harry Reid says it makes the incredible credible. It's just them being like, yeah, here are all the things that happened. And it makes it very believable that they're definitely aliens, which I definitely believe, which means your brother needs to watch this because it's definitely happening. You think it'll sway him? I don't know. Maybe.

Here's the crazy thing. The one thing that I kind of took away, because it's a little slow in the beginning, but like at the end of it, you're just like, whoa, crazy. The common denominator between alien UFO sightings and our world is that they generally happen around military bases. Which is why a lot of people are like, it's just like the United States Air Force testing out new shit. The other thing is it generally is happening around places where there are nuclear weapons. And not just in America. there are nuclear weapons and not just in america it's been happening in like russia like all these other places where there are nuclear missiles like in bunkers and stuff that's where you end up seeing a lot of alien ufo activity it's a lot of like government officials who are like yeah we went outside there was all these ufos over all the nuclear bunkers and they were shining lights down into where the bunkers are.

At one point, all the nuclear weapons went offline. Like they turned them off. And these are like government officials saying this stuff. You come to the conclusion of the aliens are like, what are these stupid evolved monkeys

doing with nuclear weapons? We need to be able to turn these off. Like I think we've been so caught up in like aliens are going to take over the world that we never even thought that aliens are trying to save us from ourselves. Yeah, that's a good thought. And that's kind of the one thing.

And then Sarah had a really good point. She was like, what if that's us? And I was like, what do you mean? What if aliens are just humans evolved and they're able to figure out a way to go back in time and they're trying to come back and be like, yo. Mind blowing. I know. evolved and they were able to figure out a way to go back in time and they're trying to come back and be like yo mind-blowing i know yeah you guys should write a book about that or sell it to be a show or something it's a genius yeah you like that one yeah yeah anyways the phenomenon it's

interesting like if you're into aliens and stuff just watch it because there's just a there's a lot of really high intelligence officers and government officials and astronauts were like yeah dude and there's also like fighter pilots who are like dude we chased this thing forever it's definitely not like an american plane it's doing things that no one can do defies the laws of physics so anyways check it out can we just touch on dancing with the stars yeah let's do it you guys will see this after this new episode tonight airs. So it'll be like a little dated. But I don't know. I haven't really been watching.

Caitlyn got some really aggressively unfair scores last week. I've been watching. Okay, you've been watching. After you watch her dance back and then go watch somebody else's dance that got like a nine, like nines across the board. Hers was as good as anyone else that got like a nine like nines across the board hers was as good as anyone else that got nines that night because especially considering like how much technical stuff that that artem puts in her dances i agree to say i so i'm gonna say i agree with that i think the judges expect more from her because she is a good dancer yeah you know i just think that's a little

unfair but it's also a little unfair to go do that show if you're a good dancer already. You know? Is it? I think that that's their way of balancing the scales. Obviously, they have to expect more from Caitlyn because Caitlyn was a dancer before this show. But not professionally. That doesn't change anything that she was still good. She was a dancer.

That was her thing. Okay, whatever. I just think it's a little unfair. I agree. But Neve also was a dancer beforehand, and her thing okay whatever i just think is a little unfair i agree but neve also was a dancer beforehand and he got all tens yeah he's like a crowd fave i'm telling you i think neve's gonna win this thing who do you think is gonna be top three i think it's going to be caitlin neve either aj or nelly you think nelly's gonna make it to top three i think it'll be justina i don't even know who justina is i didn't either but she's on um she's on a tv show called one day at a time i think fans really love her and she's somebody

that like had zero dance experience i think coming into this and she just like really kills it i think neve definitely i know man i might take it because i had neve on the wells cast last week and so if you are interested in learning more about neve's backstory which is crazy by the way he talks about in that package they showed it where he like, my dad and I fell in love with this New York ballet company. And the story is crazy of like how he got into being obsessed with the ballet company in New York and how Catfish started all intertwined. He made this film for PBS. Him and his brother made this film for PBS about this New York ballet company. this film for PBS, him and his brother made this film for PBS about this New York ballet company.

Then he gets catfished by this little eight-year-old girl who says she's an artist and was obsessed with the movie that they made. Turns out she wasn't an eight-year-old girl. It was like this old woman. And that's how Catfish started. Like, it's like this weird comes full circle thing. I know. I really think he might take it. Tough year for Caitlyn, but them's the break, sister. Also, why are my DMs on Instagram purple and blue and different colors? What's happening? Oh, did you update your messaging? I didn't do that. Sometimes it's purple, sometimes it's blue.

What does that mean? What does that signify? If it's purple, do they see it? Or if it's blue, do they see it? Or am I just having an acid flashback from college? What is happening? Instagram, I don't understand. Well, if we're going to talk about Instagram real quick. Oh, let's talk about Instagram real quick. Instagram is freaking hiding posts. I discovered this because, you know, I have the YFT Instagram account logged

into our YFT Instagram account on my Instagram app, right? Yeah. I'm on the YFT Instagram account. I like to go peep my profile and see what my grid looks like, you know? Yeah. See, it's aesthetic. And I'm on my profile. My Halloween post doesn't show up when I'm on the YFT podcast Instagram. Okay, let me look. Huh.

Yeah, it doesn't. So I was like, what the fuck? Wait, hold on. So then I log in to another account I have on my phone that I never use. I made an Astro account when I first got her and then I never did anything with it. But I'm logged in. So I was like, huh, I want to see if this is across the board here. Log into Astro's account.

Can't see it either. Do you think it was flagged because Rye's dick might be flopping around? Well, I just didn't know. But my sisters post way more scandalous stuff than me in there. Stuff doesn't get taken down. So I started to investigate. And so I went and like, I don't even know how I found it. But I clicked on something and found that if you click on like, I think it maybe it was a hashtag. If you click on a hashtag

on any post right now, this thing pops up. And it says recent posts from all hashtags are temporarily hidden to help prevent the spread of possible false information and harmful content related to the election? In what way is Tarzan and Jane sexy dead Tarzan related to the election? Why would they hide my post? I'm so upset. What did you hashtag, by the way? Okay, but it says that on my other post where all my hashtags are like totally PG. I hashtagged dead Tarzan and Jane and bloodb bash 2020 because that was my party hashtag. Yeah. Maybe take the hashtags off and see what happens. I didn't.

It's still gone. No way, dude. Devastated and annoyed. I would be too. I don't know what shows. It's so funny. Like what shows up on my discover. And I'm sure it's much different than like what shows up on your discover.

But for some reason, I get a huge amount of these daredevil guys that hang off the edge of buildings like one-handed and then it's you just like get vertigo just fucking watching it or like these daredevil guys you know i'm talking about like these guys that like climb up like the top of buildings and they'll hang off but you don't get this no i don't get this i get this and it's just a bunch of these fucking assholes who are just hanging by one arm and this their buddy like filming and being like whoa look how far down it is so like a guy's on top of like this scaffolding with like 7 000 feet above the ground and they're running and they're like jumping from like one thing to another and you're like jesus christ dude first of all this made my nuts go straight up into my body i'm terrified now i've got vertigo i've peed a little

bit and i hate you guys and i don't want anyone to die but i want those guys to die because fuck you dude you are why are you in what world would you do this why would you do this life is precious you know how hard it is to become a fucking human in this day and age like of all the things that could happen you could have been a fucking ant or a you could have been nothing and you got to be a human in this day and age and what you decide to do is hang off the side of a building and videotape it and then you scare me hate you fall but don't it's like an optical illusion no they're not real no this is like a whole thing these fucking crazy parkour people who are doing all this stuff on the top of buildings. I know you have seen this.

I have not seen this. Dude, there are YITers everywhere that have seen this. Anyways, those people, if you're listening, stop it. Just stop it. Stop it. Just stop what you're doing. It's dangerous. You're going to hurt yourself.

When you do die, everyone's going to be like, well, yeah, of course. What did we all expect? Of course he's dangerous. You're going to hurt yourself. When you do die, everyone's going to be like, well, yeah, of course. What did we all expect? Of course he's dead. He's been fucking running around on scaffolding 5,000 feet in the air. Get it together. This is old news, but have you seen Adele lately? Wait, she's on SNL. As the British would say, she's very fit now.

What was she doing? You should be doing what she's doing. Oh, I know. I need to get on the Adele diet. I know. I watched her SNL episode. That's why I brought it up. She kind of killed it. Did you watch that episode, I know. I need to get on the Adele diet. It looks phenomenal. I know. I watched her SNL episode. That's why I brought it up. Yeah. She kind of killed it. Did you watch that episode? I did. The Bachelor thing they did was amazing. Loved it. Loved the Bachelor. Of course,

the Bachelor was Ben something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. And there was a Hannah something. It was great. Can we talk about some of my favorite commercials right now? Sure. So I got to say, I don't know who decided that insurance companies have to have the best commercials, but it's true. For whatever reason, they're killing it. And I just love the Liberty Mutual insurance commercials, the Limu Emu commercials. So that's the one where it's a buddy cop drama set in like the 70s and there's a guy cop and then there's an emu who's also a cop. Yeah.

So the reason why I like the Limu Emu commercials is this. Okay. I always like the idea of thinking about the birth of an idea or a bit or a joke, the conception of it, because there was a marketing company that came up with this idea. And I like to think of the, that moment and being in the room and experiencing it.

So some guy was like, all right, Bill, what do you have for our newest Liberty mutual commercial? And he was like, all right, Bill, what do you have for our newest Liberty Mutual commercial? And he's like, all right, here's my idea. Buddy cop drama. Okay. One guy's a normal cop, but he looks like Starsky. It's like Starsky and Hutch, right? But instead of like Starsky and then Hutch, it's Starsky and then an emu. Where'd you come up with the emu? Because Liberty Mutual, li mutual li mu kind of rhymes with emu and

everyone's like okay and so here's the idea guys they're walking around in like the 70s trying to pitch insurance to people as a buddy cop drama and everyone in that room must have been like what the fuck are you talking about how did you what are you talking how did you get emu from liberty mutual well you know if you just short the words and obviously it's great like everyone must have been talking about? How did you, what are you talking, how did you get emu from Liberty Mutual? Well, you know, if you just short the words and obviously it's great. Like everyone must have been like, huh? This is the worst idea ever. And then there was some guy who was like, you know what? Bob's our number one ad guy. Let's let him fucking try it out. Guys, you know what? You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Let him film it. Millions of dollars into this ad budget. into this ad budget someone greenlit this buddy cop commercial with an emu and it totally plays and i love it and i just love that about our world someone pitched it and was like you know what this

is a good idea let's do it you can't go wrong with an animal in an ad i know but like going from liberty mutual to limu emu there are so many steps you have to take. So you went from Liberty Mutual to Lemu, then Lemu to Emu, then an Emu with Starsky from Starsky and Hutch driving around like an old Camaro pitching insurance people. Like it's just so fucking far removed from Liberty Mutual. Liberty, Liberty, Liberty, Liberty. What the fuck? But I love it. So anyways, I was in there watching me like, wow, someone fucking came to work one day

and was like, I've got an idea. And everyone must have been like, Bob's on acid again. But then it got greenlit. So there you go. That's all I got. Bob's on acid again. Bob's tripping out again guys that's probably what it takes to come up with a good creative idea for advertising honestly

bob's talking about emus again guys someone calls wife we're concerned about him oh i have a random thing i had a lot of people message me and ask me to talk about this on yft okay um. So I have a new fave thing. Got it. Do it. My bell is broken. There we go. Have you seen the infrared sauna blankets? No.

Oh my gosh. If you're a sauna person, like if you're one of those people that pays a bunch of money to go to like the sweat float places where you sit in an infrared sauna, you know, for an hour or whatever. That's me.

Okay, great. You need one of these because those places are expensive. And I get it. Like especially in the winter, like it feels real nice to sit in something toasty. The sauna blanket is like not – I mean it's expensive. But like in the perspective of if you pay to go to one of those places all the time, it's really not. My mom has one. And for some reason she has sent it here.

I laid in it yesterday to detox the alcohol from my body from Halloween. It is everything. You just start sweating and you just sweat out all the toxins and all the things. I think it makes you lose weight. Wells, maybe you should put it into your regimen and you just like Velcro yourself in there, turn her up. And I laid there and I watched Rebecca on Netflix and I put a sheet mask on my face to help cool me down because my body was so hot. It's really nice. I'm a big fan. For my birthday,

Sarah got me the infrared sauna from the garage and I sit in that thing every day. Oh, so you have an actual sauna? Yeah, but it's infrared. Yeah. Like a wood thing that you sit in? Yes. Well, if you ain't that rich, get yourself a sauna blanket. I'm telling you guys, it is everything. I actually enjoy it more than sitting in the sauna, like especially even if you have one at home. But especially having to go somewhere and sit in the sauna. This is so much better. You get to lay down and you get to watch TV.

Yeah. It's great. I saw that Bright Eyes, a.k.a. Connor Oberst and Phoebe Bridgers have a new track out. Oh. I like both of them this is called miracle of life lay down on the hardcore ground crying such a soothing sound get cured with the coke hammer Girl, you're in America now Woke up in the morning in a cousin's bed

Something don't look right Septic infected in red Hot forehead like a frying pan Cutter over sounds like this all the time. Yeah, that's his thing. It is. It's a good thing. If you watched that Adele episode of SNL, then you heard this.

It's by Her. It's called Hold On. The band Her or Adele? No, the artist Her. Okay. It's a girl. She's so badass. I know.

She's like the coolest looking chick. I know. Especially when she plays her guitar and say like, gosh, the artist Her. Okay. It's a girl. She's so badass. I know. She's like the coolest looking chick. I know. Especially when she plays her guitar and say like, gosh, she's just so talented. She's playing like lead licks and like singing insane runs at the same time. Yeah, like Brittany Howard from Alabama Shake. She's fucking just amazing. Mind blowing. I hold on to you.
