Oh, I'm old. That's something that an old person would say. Speaking of, for the last episode of Bachelor in Paradise, I posted this picture of Sarah and I at the gates of paradise. And someone tweeted to me and they said, I didn't know that you and Sarah were an item. And I was like, oh, that's the oldest thing anyone can say. When anyone calls

a relationship, you're an item that's such an old person thing to say fucking love it anyways should we call the brand let's call her up right now it is time we're not an item hello hello how you doing good i'm looking for my face powder because i'm fucking shiny, but I don't know where it is. Your face powder? Yeah. I got a show opener. It's amazing you can hear this.

Isn't it about time for somebody's favorite radio program? Can we turn the radio on? Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention? I need all of you to stop what you're doing and listen. Merry Christmas, everyone. Well, this is rather festive, isn't it? It's my favorite time of year. How many days till Christmas vacation? This is your vacation. Get to walk El Solomon, nutcracker. It's go time. Welcome in to YFT,

everybody. Yeah, I saw like a little sound, little soundboard soundboard thing i thought you know what let's do it anyways i'll turn that off so i saw that we did a poll that said like when should we put these episodes out and it seemed like the yf tears want us to go back to having episodes come out on wednesday i had a feeling that was going to be the case. Why do you think that is? I don't know. Friday, because I think because for me, like Fridays, people go out and do stuff.

Yeah. Things to do over the weekend. And Wednesday is like the middle of the work week. And you kind of need something. Yeah. To spice up your week, you know? So should we have this episode come out on Wednesday

or should this episode come out on Friday? I think Wednesday. Well, we'll see if I can get it done because it's Monday right now. Although we didn't announce that we're going back yeah yeah so maybe this is the announcement this is the announcement everybody next week we start that and then next week we go yeah i like that i think that's better okay okay sounds good good good times we were starting the show before with

bachelor stuff because bachelor in paradise was airing and now it's over and i just gotta say boy oh boy fucking bloodbath out there not surprised okay so did you see that john henry and cat have broken up shocker i know but still like that was the one that was like still going i mean i thought you know i thought the erin and eliza was gonna work but it didn't so they broke up john hen Henry and Kat broke up. Like it was announced today. And then did you see the drama with Kylie and Avon? No.

Oh no. Spill, pour me a cup of tea. Oh, she did this whole like Instagram post. Basically being like, yeah, I'm no longer with Avin because of infidelity. Yeah, he cheated. Oh, no. Okay, maybe, you know, who knows? He said, she said, and then he posted, yeah, yeah, I cheated.

Yeah, yeah. I know, and now I feel bad. I thought Avin was a good guy. I did, too, and I felt bad because I was totally defending his, like, decision to be like, hey, don't get engaged. Like, that's a weird thing to be, like, demanding, and now I feel bad. Did he say, like, hey, don't get engaged. That's a weird thing to be demanding. And now we feel bad. Did he say who it was with? No. But we must.

The sleuthers out there must tell us what happened. I want to know. I know. I can't believe it. This is why we needed an after show. I 100% agree. It would have been juicy because of all the breakups. I should send a message to one of the EPs and be like, see?

I mean, one, I want to get paid for one more episode, but see? The people need this. Definitely. And then you think about, like, two years ago, we had Joe and Serena. You had Kenny and Mari. Becca and Thomas, who didn't even leave. They left broken up. Noah and Abigail

and then also that was also the year they like forced out Brandon right Brandon and Piper was it Brandon and Piper? Fuck I don't know there's been way too many of them Piper and somebody yeah anyways that season

absolutely crushed and then this season has been a big old dumper. Dumpster fire. Dumpster fire, dude. Yeah. Do we think Kylie's going to go after Blake? Well, she did on the show and we never even talked about it. But now that she and Avon are donezo, maybe she'll try it with Blake.

She should. His response about it all, I don't know whose podcast it was on. Yeah. Two chicks. It was on TikTok. Yeah, his response was it all i don't know whose podcast it was on yeah not a podcast two ticks tiktok i i said yeah his response was weird yeah and i responded to that response with the the emoji like hmm yeah like that's a weird answer yeah i've been trying to set kylie up with my brother for years so kylie now that we've tried all the other things Want to date my brother? You don't want to date a Cyrus Oh come on

Trace is so sweet and such a cutie He's got so many tattoos A lot of tats, what's wrong with that? Where's the weirdest place on his body that he has a tattoo? I think his skull, like his head That's fucking crazy He's got some on the side of his head This is a touchy question but I'm going to ask it.

Does he have any tattoos on his penis? Oh, God. I don't know. You need to ask. I'm not asking that. If that was my sibling and they had that many tattoos, my first question is, is your dick tatted? Is there any, like on the shaft? I don't want to ask any questions about that at all.

You've never thought? Like, this kind of gets in everyone. Not one time. Never. Wells, when are you going to learn that your brain and my You've never thought? Like, this kind of gets in everyone. No, not one time. Never. Wells, when are you going to learn that your brain and my brain work very differently? I know. Thank God. My brain's the best.

Yours scares me. By the way. I'll let you ask Trace that. By the way, the clip of the Sri Lankan. Big ass schoolgirl. It's so funny. It's so insane. It's so funny. It's so insane. It is so funny. And they did a good job

because they opened with the punchline of like, I think he was watching porn, and then it goes into it. That one was good. That was good. I love that one. My beautiful wife sent me this, and I thought this was very funny.

This is about Gary. The Golden Bachelor is a fraud. He hasn't owned a restaurant and it was only like a hamburger drive-in since 1985. plus he's had several girlfriends when he said he hadn't even kissed a woman since his wife died not even true He lived with another woman. It's just a bunch of baloney. Talk to you later. Oh, that's it. Okay. By the way, that is how every

grandparent leaves messages, I feel like. Oh, yeah, for sure. Talk to you later. See you later. Dropping bombs, truth bombs. See you later. That's funny. I have seen that.

Me too. But also it's like, who gives a fuck? He was a restaurateur and then he wasn't. Who gives a shit? Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Oh yeah, classic. It's better if he is a restaurateur and has, you know, not dated anyone. Of course, he's got a life, you know?

But I do love the fact that that guy fucking knows him and fucking does not like him. Yeah, clearly. That guy liked a girl, and Gary fucked that girl. Oh, my God. And now he's like, fuck this guy. You're insane. Like, right?

Like, that's what happened probably. I guess. He's like, who am I going to tell? My granddaughter loves this show. I'm going to fucking ruin this for her. This guy. Susie, just so you know, that guy fucking was not a restaurateur. Yeah, he's been living with a woman, and he slept with Suzanne, who I loved.

Oh, gosh. Anyways, that made me laugh. It's funny. By the way, I got a new soundboard button here that I want to play. Oh, no. And it's just perfect timing for the holidays. Here we go. Okay.

What the fuck? Yeah. It's called Xmas What the Fuck. I love it. I love it. Next time you're around Trace. No. Ask him for me. Or like have you ever thought about it? I'm going to call you and around Trace, ask him for me.

Or have you ever thought about it? I'm going to call you and I'll let you ask him. Have you ever thought about it? Because I've seen some porns out there where girls, they will tattoo weird stuff down there. I've seen it. That's never crossed my mind. Not like on the vagina, but pretty close. Interesting. Does Sarah know about this?

Everyone watches porn. Hmm. Interesting. Yeah. Does Sarah know about this? Interesting. Everyone watches porn. Thing? I don't know if everyone actively watches porn. I think everyone has watched porn. Okay. But like actively, you actively watch it? I mean, sometimes you don't. So you're telling me that, when was the last time you watched porn?

When I was young. Okay. Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. So do you not masturbate? Do you not masturbate? No, I, yes I do, but I don't. You just go, you just, you just use your mind. You use the pictures in your brain sometimes, but then this is the difference. This is the difference between men and women. Men are so visual with this. You should know this. This is a fact. Okay. It's fair. It's

different. Also a lot of women have a problem with their men watching porn. Yeah, I would say that's probably true because then it makes it so it's harder for guys to finish because they have this weird, crazy expectation of what sex is and that's not really what it is, which is totally understandable. Also, I think some women just don't want their guys looking at other naked women, even though I think a lot of women feel that way. You like a psychopath. You use your brain.

You think about like a sexual experience. Sometimes. And you just like replay that back. Yeah. That's what you do. Sometimes. That's crazy to me. Is it?

Kind of. Nah. I think that that's worse than. No do you mean and hear me out hear me out like if you are in a relationship okay so I'm married if I was going through the rolodex of like memories and I was like going like to exes and whacking off to it that's like kind of like cheating whereas why wouldn't you think why wouldn't you think about Sarah well you I mean obviously you can but if but hold on why wouldn't you be thinking Sarah? Well, I mean, obviously you can, but hold on. Why wouldn't you be thinking about your wife?

Okay, yeah, yeah, for sure. But then like, oh, you're jerking off to a picture of your wife? Maybe. That's some psychopath shit too, I think. I mean, at least with the porn stuff. I don't know. I bet Sarah would like it if you told her that. I mean, don't get me wrong.

I have. There's actually a picture in here. So you are a psychopath. That I find very, very sexy. That's a great photo of her, actually. I noticed it last time I was there. I do like that one. That's the one.

That's the one. He goes to the bathroom in the studio and... Crank it out. Apparently. That's the Sri Lankan what is it called? The Sri Lankan big ass school girl? That one, yeah.

Oh, we're off to a great start. This is, yeah, the show just keeps getting crazier and crazier. It's just doing this. Does anyone listen to it? The show just keeps getting crazier and crazier. It's just doing this. Does anyone listen to it?

The fuck? It's very long sound. You know, it just kind of drags on. Yeah. It's my only complaint. I'm trying stuff out. You know, you don't know. It's my only complaint.

What do you got going on right now? Well, glad you asked. Okay. I got home last night from Las Vegas and my mother's here. So that's fun. Came home to that, opened the door. The whole house just smells like marijuana honestly i think she smokes more than noah like usually when noah used to come stay here the whole house would reek and it was worse

last night with my mother here than it ever was with noah why don't you say hey can you go outside she does it she has like a basement apartment you know yeah and she's smoking down there and it just wafts up here like my dogs are probably contact high. Like it was crazy. So I came home to that. That was fun. My sister is coming in town for a visit also. So I've been getting the house ready for them. So that's what I'm doing now. But I got to say, I had a pretty lit weekend.

Yeah? Litty kitty? Litty kitty in Vegas Sin City. Yeah. Oh, in Sin City. Yeah, it was lit. I usually when I go to Vegas, I'm in and out in like a day, like 24 hours.

That's really all you need in Vegas, you know? But this time I had to go a day early. And so I had like a whole day and a whole night hang and go to the club and not be working and just be hanging. And first of all, I got to say, all right, I guess it hasn't really, it's not been announced yet, but I think I'm allowed to talk about it. i signed a residency contract at the win for 2024 that i'm very excited about and yeah so i've i've played a handful of shows at the win this year and it'll be official next year that i have this residency which is so great so like you're like beyonce or like britney spears

obviously i'm gonna say nice things about the Wynn, but I'm not just saying it because I work there. Like, truly, like, the Wynn is just the creme de la creme of Las Vegas. You know what I'm saying? Great word. Like, it's the best place to stay. They've got the best club. I'm sorry, XS Nightclub.

It's the best club in Vegas. It just is. All the restaurants are amazing. I always eat at SW Steakhouse because it's just so fucking good, and I love a steakhouse. Love it. But they just recently reop good and I love a steakhouse. Love it. But they just recently reopened their Japanese restaurant called Mizumi. Mm-mm.

Oh my God. If you like sushi, this place is unbelievable. First of all, the vibe is insane. Super, super, super great with ambiance vibes. I had a Japanese version of an old-fashioned like with a japanese whiskey holy shit it was the best thing i've ever had i just had a great time and then i went to see diplo friday night and that was fun and then i had the pleasure of opening for dylan francis on saturday night and it was lit lit lit and i just had a lovely time that's all i know and i

love the wind so tell me how this works. So you have a residency. So it's like every Tuesday night you are in Vegas. How does this work? So it's not that often. I will play a minimum of 12 shows there. They could always add more. But that's 12 is like the contract I signed.

And all they have to do is give me a 30-day notice. So I could play four shows in one month and then not play for three whole months. You know what I mean? Or they could have me once a month. I just don't know yet. But I will go as much as they want me. I love it there. I love everybody that works with the wind. Let me just tell you guys something.

Especially being a woman in this industry, in this club vibe DJ industry, being a woman is tough. And even if not being a woman whole industry, it's just hard. There's a lot of sketchy people. There's a lot of people that aren't fun to be around. And there's sometimes when I go play and like, I just have to deal with like asshole dudes. And I don't know, it's just not every day that you go to a club and you're treated so well.

And like that everyone is just so lovely and so incredible at what they do and so professional and so amazing to be that everyone is just so lovely and so incredible at what they do and so professional and so amazing to be like these people at the win like i like to hang out with them like i call them friends and that's just so rare in this business and so i'm just so thankful that they like me because i love all of them so much and i love being there so i'm just so so pumped to have all these shows for next year and like an atmosphere that i like really enjoy being in well that's awesome thanks i'm really proud to make you come to one yeah i want to come does

that mean you're going to be in la more because you're going to be on this other country yeah yeah that's great then we're going to we're recording in here baby we're going to need to fix your lighting in there okay i'll buy another light for you yeah i need my own light and we're going to need to fix the camera angle. Okay, I can do all those things. Also, can we get a real camera and not an iPad? Okay, whoa. Like, how come you get the real camera and I get the iPad?

I don't, I mean, because, I don't know. I don't, I'm not a freaking wizard over here. Just an audio wizard, right? Yes. Do you want this camera, then i'll take the iphone yeah yes i do okay fine also my left side is my best side so if we could switch that that would be great you want the mic over there i just want the camera on my left side oh why did you say that i would have done that it doesn't matter to me it was like once and it was like it's just one time

and then it was a second time and now it's like we're doing it more and i'm like okay now we got to get serious okay okay okay okay we'll do it we'll do it well i'm very proud of you thanks well z yes very proud of you that's so much of adulthood to me is like like for me you know saturday night like standing in excess like in the dj booth there i just like look around and i'm like who let me do this who let me in here how did i get here it just cracks me up but i feel like that's like a lot of being an adult is like if I told my younger self, you know, X,

Y, Z, I would just be. Honestly, you know what I think it is? I think that the older people that were doing that stuff, they've died now. And now we're,

that's true. Now it's like, well, this is the next oldest person here. So yeah, they seem qualified. Yeah. I've got some other good news.

Okay. I saw this. I saw this and i'm very excited about it a new anti-aging drug for large dogs has already cleared early hurdles at the fda and is moving to hit another milestone towards getting approval here Here's the CEO of Loyal, Celine Hiloa, talking about the company's goals and how they one day hope to be making anti-aging drugs for dogs. The goal of Loyal is to get the first ever drug route for lifespan extension. Healthspan extension, so number of years lived, quality of years lived. For dogs, but also just in general.

And then use that momentum, the insane amounts of biological insight, the competency of a translational team to go and build the first ever human aging drugs. So dogs, never dying. Okay, wait. So I wonder, now that you say this, you know, all this NAD, peptide, like, is it going to be the same type of thing that they're giving dogs? I don't know. Do you take that stuff? I need to start because a lot of my really good friends are doing it.

Yeah. NAD. I need to get in on all that. I do. I hear great things. I'm doing it, but I don't know, like, I'm still going gray. Is it going to stop that? Yeah.

I don't know. I don't know. That stuff is expensive but you know if it does what it says it does it's worth it what's crazy though is that like the fda is like not allowing it to get out because i'm sure they're like we got to make some like a money on this oh for sure or and then they want you to have to go buy their fucking over-the-counter pills and shit yeah and like i know a lot of people are going getting like the ivs with it in there too yes yeah that's what i would do, probably, if I was going to do it.

I just have a little powder that I take every day. And a pill. Who knows? Who knows if any of that stuff works? I know. I don't know. Down for Azzy Girl to live forever. I know, right?

Yeah. I don't even need humans to live forever, because I don't want to live forever. No. I'm going to run out of money at some point, you know? Can't keep doing this forever. But dogs, yes. For sure. 100%. forever because I don't want to live forever no I'm gonna run out of money at some point you know can't keep doing this forever um but dogs yes for sure 100 or at least get dogs to live about as long maybe a little less than how long humans live so then you could like be like 15 and get a dog and then they just are with you the rest of your life. I know. That would be pretty great. I know. Like a lot of dog, large dog breeds especially, I mean, what is it? Is it the Great Danes?

Like there's like seven years or something. Yeah. Well, Bloodhounds was eight. Bloodhounds too. Yeah. It's so crazy. It's so crazy to me. That is not long at all.

I know. I know. And I like little dogs, but like they are annoying, you know? I know. I know. But they little dogs, but they are annoying. I know, but they do live longer. They live fucking forever. Horses are kind of the same. Ponies live a lot longer than horses. Horses usually have more health problems. It's strange. I wonder if short

people live longer than tall people. Great question. I imagine skinny people live longer than fat people. Yes. I'm hung over today. I'm hung over today. I'm hung over today, so I'm drinking a Modelo. What were you doing last night? We had the Christmas party yesterday

at the club. Kind of early for that, no? Santa came, because you want to get your picture with Santa. It was so much fun. And then Sierra and I got wasted, as one does at a Christmas party. Took our picture with Santa. And then we went, Sarah and I got wasted as one does at a Christmas party. Yes. Took our picture with Santa. And then we went and played golf

with a bunch of people. My buddy Chad. Catherine Newton, you know her? She's from like a, she's like a Marvel person now. She's really good at golf. And had the best time in the world. And now I'm hungover.

And you know what? Thank God for little hair the dog that was hurting that was hurting hurting it happens you know at our age did you know that this is well the day that we're recording this which is December 11th it happens to be the most popular day for people to break up really yeah that seems weird I feel like everyone gets starts relationships like around the holidays because they want a freaking Christmas party buddy. Yeah, but I also think that if things aren't going great and you don't want to get gifts,

this is a good time to cut it off. I guess so. Or like, I don't want to deal with that person's family. Yeah, true. I'm done with this. But they call it cuffing season, you know? They do. They do.

I don't know. but they call it cuffing season, you know? They do. They do. I don't know. It is nice to have a teammate with you when it comes to having to deal with fucking in-laws. Agree. This year, we're having both Sarah's parents

and my dad come here. Oh, wow. And they fall on different sides of the political spectrum. That's right. It's going to be interesting. That does cause some problems. I mean, at this point now, I don't give a shit. Yeah, I know. Let them fight it out. Yeah, you guys fight it out. It's going to be interesting. That does cause some problems. I mean, at this point now, I don't give a shit. Yeah, I know.

Let them fight it out. Yeah, you guys fight it out. It actually is kind of entertaining. Yeah, I'm going to make a drink over here. Yeah, perfect. The worst part is I don't agree with my father, so I can't back him up. That's great. Ooh, yeah.

You got some faith things, bro, or what's going on? Bro. Oh, yeah. You got some fave things, bro, or what's going on? Bro. Okay, so I can't believe how fast I've cruised through it, but I am caught up on The Crown. Yeah, but last episode you were kind of not into it. Yeah, I didn't love, let's see. So I didn't love season five. I don't know.

Loved season four with the, Princess Diana and Prince Charles. And season five was a little hard for me. But season six has been great. There's only four episodes out of season six. And then I think they're going to follow it with another four. And this is the last season. The last four were phenomenal. And God, like, it's so crazy.

I mean, I guess I was very young when Princess Di passed. And I remember the car accident. I just remember i remember all of it but man it's just so sad like it's just all just so fucking sad you know and i think um you know not not to say that i've done my research to know how accurate this scripted show is by any means um but just seeing like the you know the details of it and just kind of how it all played out and how it all could have really been avoided um is very very sad to me so um even though i've loved it it was definitely like i was heartbroken last night you know yeah very sad i do think that there's like a little bit of

a curse that comes with like really rich well-to-do affluent families sorry you kind of come from one but i think even bigger than no we No, we're not that rich. Yeah, but like, you know, like the Kennedys are like cursed, you know? Yeah. And as a part of me, that's like That's like a different type of money. Yeah. I think our version of

the royals in the United States is the Kennedys and they are like cursed. Like everyone dies in weird ways too. And I, there's this is a weird conspiratorial thing to say but it's like it's a little bit of like that like deal with the devil thing with those people you know like yeah especially with the royals they've sold so much to their media and that's also it's funny because it's like it's the thing that like keeps the momentum of their family and that whole thing like kind of relevant and going but it's also the thing

that's taking them down or took down diana which is a weird juxtaposition i suppose after like watching this it really not that i i already felt for harry like after watching their documentary you know and kind of hearing his experience being part of the royal family, like I almost feel for him even more now. Yeah. I think he and his mom probably share a lot of the same. Like it seems to me like Prince William has that like tougher. To me, it kind of seems like he takes after his dad a bit more of like

not having so many feelings about all of it. And, you know, being able to kind of like not having so many feelings about all of it and you know being able to kind of like turn a blind eye to some of some of the part of it that's fucked up whereas Harry is much like Princess Di where it's like no like I you know I feel this and I feel that and this is wrong and this is whatever and like kind of takes more of a stance over it you know I don't know it's just also sad to me to think like Harry lost his mom when he was so young and you know had to just go to you know go to the funeral and be photographed there even though like they you know he probably not the best thing for a kid to have to go through when his mom died like just so many things that you think like it's just so sad that the poor boys had to go

through and whatnot and I honestly like it makes me happy for Harry that he kind of broke out of it and he seems happy and I think his mom would be proud of Harry that he kind of broke out of it and he seems happy and I think his mom would be proud of that I think it's also birth order stuff too for sure William's definitely like the rule follower like I'm gonna take care of business like my brother just like that he like he's like the person who speaks for all the family he like takes care of flights and everything and I'm the youngest and I'm like waka waka waka and also like I I get sensitive about things and I'm also a mama's boy like so I totally get it for sure yeah but anyway I'm glad I started watching it I really enjoyed it obviously like all the actors are just incredible um so now once

once the rest of season six comes out I'll watch that and then I think I'm gonna go back and start season one and kind of like prequel it you know yeah you said last week one of the things that you didn't like was like someone's different take on like being the queen or whatever being the king that's something that i kind of do like because then you get to see the artistry of it all like someone's going to obviously have a different envisionment or like creative process to like bring that person to life and so that's one of the things i kind of enjoyed when i when i'd see sarah watching it be like oh this is an interesting take on how they would do this and they're also all british so like this is like very ingrained in these people right right like there was no americans playing the queen no no of course yeah gosh the actress

that plays princess di as an adult i mean she looks just like her and her man like she you can tell she really did her homework i mean her mannerisms like her and her man like she you can tell she really did her homework i mean her mannerisms the way she sits the way she holds her head like i mean it is she is freaking princess diana in the flesh i swear yeah it's very cool we watched something last night that i loved okay and also freaked me the fuck out i wonder if you're gonna say what i think you're gonna say leave the world behind yes my mom was watching it when I got here. Okay. And she did not like it. I loved it. I like scary movies. Was it scary? It's kind of like an end of the world movie, I guess. Let me give you the tagline. Give me the synopsis. A family's getaway to a luxurious rental home takes an ominous turn when a cyber attack knocks out their devices and two strangers appear at the door.

Leave the world behind on Netflix. So the cast is insane. It's Julia Roberts. It's Ethan Hawke. They play a married couple. I'm going to say his name wrong, but Mahershala Ali, who's been like a lot of stuff.

I love him. I'm sorry if I'm saying his name wrong. Kevin Bacon's in it. Like, so effectively, I don't want to ruin it for you because it is so good. Don't ruin it because I'm going to watch it. So effectively,

what the tagline is, is like this family, they're like, they live in New York. They're like, we're going to get out of town for the weekend. They rent this really nice house, like the Hamptons, I suppose.

And all of a sudden, like internet goes down, like TV's not working. And it's just kind of weird. Then these two people show up at the house and they say that they own the house. And because of like the internet going down and like the blackout happening in new york they're like well we kind of want to come over here we know there's electricity still here and then like weird stuff starts happening and you don't know

who really is the bad guy like are these people that showed up the bad guy like what really what really went down what's really going down and what's scary about it it's a great film just to be like yeah we could totally be attacked this way and you know whatever but what's scary about it is that barack and michelle obama are the executive producers on this project what yes and it's like interesting it's like barack you trying to tell us something here guy what's happening first name basis with it yeah me and brock are fucking tight but i'm like hey bo actually he probably doesn't like that because it's body odor but bo are you trying to say something to us is this how we're going to be attacked and it's this weird thing that's like he he ran on like hope you know change like yeah and then and then after he left fucking country went to

goddamn shit right like everyone's divided everyone hates each other case in point are my in-laws and my dad coming you know everyone's like split one of the first things he does is decide to be an ep on this movie about like how the country can be attacked and like World War III. Like that's where like Brock freaked out now. I'm freaked also. And I haven't even seen it. I know. Go watch it. It's really good.

Okay. It sounds good. I mean, I love Julia Roberts. I love Ethan Hawke. Do you think Ethan Hawke's a handsome boy? Not really. He's not really my type.

It's funny. Cause I do feel like he was a heartthrob, especially like remember great expectations with um uh girl from goop what's her name that's right anyways i liked it go check it out okay love that i know you don't want it but virgin river yeah you're still on this i'm a little upset with them okay because they put out like you know half of a season and said like part two is coming you know december 2nd or whatever it was and so i thought all right they put out you know however it was like six episodes or eight episodes or something and i was like we're gonna get six or eight more no we got two

and they're calling that part two of the season i'm sorry no no no no no excuse me part one can't be that many and then part two just be two. That's not okay. That's not how things work. And so I'm upset. You should be. I'm very upset. And I'm upset because it's going to be another freaking year or so before we get any more because there was a strike, and nobody was filming anything, and it takes so long to make the turnaround, and so now I just have to wait, and I'm just upset.

I feel like I was robbed. I'm sorry to hear that. It's tragic. I started a second book in the in the fourth wing series the book about dragon riders and it became really sexual Iron Flame I'm early in on it

but ooh do I like this book highly recommend if you're into fantasy and a lot of sexy stuff and dragons and murder and killing go check out fourth wing and then get in to iron flame. Okay. Tell your boyfriends,

your boyfriends will like this, I think. Okay. There you go. And your girlfriends too. Like Danielle Maltby is reading it and she's like, Jesus, this is sexy.

How is she? She's doing great. She came in and stop by and hung out with us not too long ago. She was in for like a conference or something. Her and her, um, podcast cohost. I think her name is Jess. Yes.

Okay. You know, her and Michael split. I know. And it wasn't great, I don't think. No, I know. For Danielle, you know? I know. That was a tough one for me because I like really brought Michael under my wing.

I know. But Danielle is. The OG. Yeah, she's one of my oldest and best friends. So it put me in a tough spot. But of course, I'm taking Danielle's side on all of it. And I am happy to report things are going well. I won't say more than that.

For her? Yes. Oh, good, good, good. Is she going to move back to Nashville? I hope so. I hope so too, but I don't know. She signed a couple year contract contract with like this company. So she's there for a couple. Yeah. Well, speaking of fantasy, did you ever watch the new hunger

games? No, but I read that book. I want to see it. Yeah, you should. I want to see it too. I want to see that. The book didn't floor me like the original hunger games did. Oh, well do that. You know, they never do. Yeah. Originals are always the best. I also saw that finally there's a couple things that came out for like rent on Apple TV that were in theaters for a while that I never saw, like Oppenheimer. I want to see that. And Killers of the Flower Moon. I want to see that too. I want to see both of those. Yeah.

So, you know, over the holidays, I'm going to be renting those. Yeah, same. To watch. Same, same, same, same, same, same. Yeah. Yeah, Sam. Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam. Yeah.

Sarah doesn't want to watch Killers of the Flower Moon because I feel like she feels like it's going to be like, you know, sad to the indigenous people of America, which it is. It probably is. It's Scorsese. I have some not favorite things. Sorry, but I want to give you guys a heads up. All right.

There's an animated movie called Leo that stars Adam Sandler. Okay. He plays a uh lizard that lives in a school you know like a pet lizard for the school a 74 year old lizard named leo and his turtle friend decide to escape from the terrarium of a forest school classroom where they've been living for decades adam sandler robert smiegel paul saddo and bill burr oh jason alexander rob schneider okay this is really good cast we watched like the first like 20 minutes of it last night and i was like turn this off i can't do this it was wow real bad and i love adam sandler okay it like opens up

with like a bad musical number hated that it was like what is it is this musical is this not anyways i highly suggest not going down the leo route okay i mean you know me i don't love animation so you don't like pixar no you know we were doing this uh because we went to disney land and we were having a conversation of what's your favorite disney movie do you have one my favorite dis Disney movie. I don't know. Really? Like, you're a girl. Does The Fox and the Hound count? Absolutely. 100%. I love that movie.

I do too. It's so sad. Of course. Bloodhound. What else do I love? I used to love Pocahontas back in the day. What is that song? The Spirit of the Wind?

Colors of the Wind. Colors of the Wind. Yeah. Pocahontas was good. Pocahontas was great. My favorite, hands down, is Robin Hood. Robin Hood and Little John Walk through the Wind. Yeah, Pogonus was good. Pogonus was great. My favorite, hands down, is Robin Hood. Robin Hood and Little John walked through the forest. Oodalally, oodalally, gollywood a day.

You know? Okay. I love Aladdin. Eh. I love Aladdin. I can show you the world, shining, shimmering, splendid. I'll show myself the world, thanks. Street rat, get that.

I mean, come on. That's great. It was fine. I'm going to show my age here a little bit, but I did love Sword in the Stone. Big. I don't even know what that is. It's okay. Whatever.

We were making this distinction, though. I think that there's a distinction between Disney movies, like Disney animated things, and then Pixar, because those are two different things to me. I agree. I mean, I love Toy Story. Yeah, I like Toy Story. I liked Up. That one really tugged at my heartstrings.

I never saw Up. Ooh. That one. I know. That one will tug at your heartstrings. I liked WALL-E. Is Madagascar Pixar? I don't think it is,

but I do love Madagascar. Oh. Loved Madagascar. I like all the ones with animals, you know? The creators are Shrek and Shark Tale, so I don't think... I did like Shrek, too. Never saw it.

You never saw Shrek? What are you, a communist? I love it. Something that I liked, but I realize that now I'm getting... Oh, I'm old now. It's a recurring theme on this pod. There's a thing on Netflix called World War II

from the front lines. And anytime you start getting into World War II stuff, you know, like if I start reading books about like submarines, I am completely ready for retirement. But this World War II from the front lines is cool, and I'll tell you why. Sufferings.

What they did was they took all this footage from World War II, and you know how they can colorize shit now? So they did that, so it's pretty cool, because you're like, oh, this is new footage, and not black and white or whatnot. If you're a guy who's on the wrong side of the 30. So maybe two listeners of this podcast? Seven of our listeners.

You might be into fucking World War II from the front lines. If you're not, stay away from that. Just so you know. Okay. Just so you know. Okay. Yeah.

Well, let's just speak to the actual demographic of this podcast for a second. Okay. I saw that Netflix is doing a new series with Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly. Okay. And I'm very excited about that. Do you know what it's called? I do not, but it's like they spin it as like Yellowstone meets like Friday Night Lights or something and I'm like sold. Is it called Buddy Games Spring Awakening? No I think that's a reality show.

Oh upcoming. Off the grid Ransom Canyon Not Without Hope. Yeah. Ransom Canyon that's it. Ransom Canyon. I think that's it. A romance-fueled family drama and contemporary western saga that charts the intersecting lives and loves of three ranching families set against the sweeping tundras and rolling rivers of Texas hill country. Ransom Canyon. Okay. Love it. Okay, Taylor Sheridan. You're telling me that's not a taylor sheridan fucking ripoff crazy well no it's a it's a taylor sheridan ripoff for sure or is it just taylor sheridan

i don't even know sounds great i love mink i love minka i loved friday night lights i'm pumped minka kelly hasn't done much either since friday night lights so I'm excited for her. Yeah, you do like one type of fucking television, and it is a little bit of... Actually, many. No, no. I'm watching The Crown right now, okay? That's true. Don't tell me I like one type of television. That's just because you are out of Taylor Sheridan shit,

but you love... I also fucking loved Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, okay? I like the crazy shit too, all Dragon. Okay. I like the like crazy shit too. All right. Fantasy. I figured it out. If there's a horse involved, you're 100% in.

Obviously. Unless the horse gets hurt and then I am not in. Well, that's not true because you loved fucking Yellowstone. And I did not watch the first scene of season one, episode one. Yeah. Horse eyes. The royals. They've all got horses.

Game of Thrones. There's horses and dragons and dragons are really just flying horses for being honest. Right. Because, horse eyes. The Royals. They've all got horses. Game of Thrones. There's horses and dragons. And dragons are really just flying horses, for being honest, right? Because you ride them. And then every Taylor Sheridan movie show is horses. True. There's no horses in Virgin River, and I like that show. But it sounds like a thing that would have horses.

There's not been a horse. Because where do the horses drink? They've got to go to the Virgin River. I don't think so. I don't know. I could be wrong, but I don't, there's not been a horse. Because where do the horses drink? They got to go to the Virgin River. I don't think so. Could be wrong, but I don't know. By the way, remember we had that conversation about, does a straw have one hole or two? I found an answer.

How many holes are there in a straw? Fortunately, I always bring a straw with me wherever I go. How many holes are there in it? There are the one-holers who feel that, well, look, there's like one hole. It goes all the way through. Like, what more is there to say? And there are the two-holers whose view is there's a hole at the top of the straw and there's a hole at the bottom of the straw. So real quick, are you a one-holer or a two-holer? I don't know. Both make sense to me. Totally. You know? I think I'm, I don't know either. I think. I know. I really don't know either i think i know i really don't

know i think gun to my head i would maybe say two so if i get shot by a bullet and it goes through my body yeah there's two holes in me there's one in the front one in the back i know but is it just one anyways okay interesting i just didn't know what you were what side you fell on anyways this gentleman's gonna tell us what's up. For the people who think there's two holes, I would say imagine this straw, if you can, getting shorter and shorter. Like imagine I sort of cut it and it was half as long. I cut it again until it's so short that it's actually like shorter than the distance around. A little bit like this.

Does this have one hole in it or two? How many holes does a bagel have in it? That's basically the same shape as. That's a good question. How many holes does a bagel have in it? That's basically the same shape as... That's a good question. How many holes does a bagel have? One. Right? Yeah.

I don't know. This. If you say a bagel has two holes, I think we all agree that would be like a very weird thing to say about a bagel. So now I'm talking to you, triumphant one-holers. If you think this straw is one hole,

let's say I take it and I pinch the bottom like this. How many holes are there in it now? There's just like the one hole at the top. I mean it and I pinch the bottom like this. How many holes are there in it now? There's just like the one hole at the top. I mean, you could fill this with water, right? It's basically a bottle. How many holes are there in the water bottle? Just the one at the top that you drink out of, right? But if it... That makes sense too. It does. As one hole now, and I poked a hole in the bottom and I opened up the bottom, how many holes would it have? It's got to have two, right? I think the way to think about the straw is that, yeah, there's two holes, but one of them is the negative of the other. Top hole plus bottom hole equals zero. That sounds

like an insane thing to say. Both the one-holers and two-holers are right in a way, as long as they're willing to learn about the arithmetic of holes. So what's frustrating about that is he didn't really answer the question. No, it doesn't solve anything. I think it's one hole. You do? I do. I think it's good.

The bagel, the bagel's, he's right with the bagel. Like that's what, it's only one hole in the bagel. But the bagel is just totally different. Is it though? Yeah. All right, YFTers, what do you you guys think i saw this other video on tiktok that like really really made me laugh and also made me think and those are the type of videos that i really like okay yes i laugh you also like the weird like woodworking videos i love them dude do those make you think yeah about what? I don't know. So there's also this guy went out

and like lived in like the Alaskan wilderness at like 40 and he filmed himself. It's really old. It's like the 70s or 80s. And this guy like built log cabins and all this stuff and he filmed the entire thing. And I used to watch it on PBS.

I think it was on PBS. And now it's on my TikTok and I'm like, I fucking love this. But this song that someone duetted, it made me laugh. But then it made me think, huh, that's true. And that's weird. Okay. Someone write a song with this.

Chinese people don't eat any cheese. What the fuck is up with that? It's really bothering me. They don't put any cheese in What the fuck is up with that? It's really bothering me. They don't put any cheese in the food they make. It's true, they don't. And I think that's a mistake. And I don't know

why it's this way. They eat a lot of cheese in the USA. But if you go to a place where they speak Chinese, they won't have any cheese. They don't have any cheese and it's hard to believe because i've seen them eat a lot of things that i wouldn't eat that's true markets in the street but they don't have any cheese what the fuck is going on i want an answer please Okay.

Aside from it being really good. People have way too much time on their hands. Like way too much time. Aside from like, I would totally listen to that guy's music. I love it so much. It's so good. But it's true. You're crying.

You're insane. Chinese food doesn't have any cheese in it that's fucking weird dude like every other fucking culture has cheese not japanese either okay i don't know I don't fucking know. Asia doesn't have cheese. Okay. That's better. Why not? It's like they have cows. I know they have cows.

Is there cheese in Indian food? I don't eat a lot of Indian food. I would assume so. Yeah? But that's also Asia, so maybe not, you know? Yeah. Is there yeah is there cheese in russian food trying to think of all the things over there can't say i've ever had russian food don't even know what that is really do you no i think it's like bear bear meat yeah well now i want to go next time i go to a Chinese restaurant, I'm going to be like, do you have anything with cheese in it? I mean, surely they do.

I don't know. And also like a byproduct of cheese is also butter. Do they use butter? Mm-hmm. Probably not. This is why everyone, this is a generality and a stereotype. Here we go. Fucking Asian people live forever.

They're so much healthier. They're not really fat. That's it. It's cheese. That's it. I cracked the code. I eat a lot of cheese and I'm fine. Yeah?

Yeah. I love cheese. It's one of my favorite foods. Same with Sarah. She's a little mouse. Last night she made a fucking... Dude,? Yeah. I love cheese. It's one of my favorite foods. Same with Sarah. She's a little mouse. Last night she made a fucking, dude, she's on a grilled cheese. Have you had a grilled cheese recently? Have you had a grilled cheese?

You need to go make a grilled cheese. It is insane how good a grilled cheese is. It's the best. Bread and cheese. Are you kidding? Come on. That's it. I don't even like it when people, they're like, I'll make tomato soup and dip it.

No, no, no. I don't need that fucking shit. Me either. Just give me that grilled cheese. Remember in Nashville, there was a food truck called the Grilled Cheesery? Still here. Is it? Mm-hmm.

Damn, I wish I still lived in Nashville for that. I'm sure you could find something similar in LA. That's probably true. Still watching Squid Game. How is it? It's good. I'm not done with it. I's probably true. Still watching Squid Game. How is it? It's good. I'm not done with it. I'm not even sure if it's done. I fall asleep every time I watch it, but that's not because it's boring. It's because

we watch it at night times. But the mother-son duo of whom I really liked a lot, the mother is now gone, which breaks my heart, but the son is still there. I have a feeling the son is the winner. But I'm not sure. I can't be sure of that.

But I do like the game. Or I do like the show. It's very good. My thing is, it must have been so fucking expensive to make. They had to make the entire set. They had to house all these people. And then it's a $4.5 million purse. It's crazy money.

How much did Netflix dole out for this thing? You got any musics? I feel like it's that time of year where the only thing people are releasing is Christmas music. My buddy, Jeremy Lister, who I like play a lot of his music and Christmas music. He texted me the other day and he was like, a bunch of people was like, we're, we're messaging me that they found my music through your show. So thank you so much. And I was like, Oh fuck yeah. People are listening. That's awesome. I have something that I'm really excited about. Okay, great. Well, let's hear that. I found this guy on TikTok. He only had like two verses of the song. And I was like,

I fucking love this song. So I started following him because I was like, I really like this song. I like the idea of this song. And I realized he went on American Idol and he got all no's. I think that's amazing because the last guy that I found from TikTok that went on American Idol was that guy Josiah and the Bonnevilles, who's now like. Oh, yeah. He's like with Noah Khan, like on his entire and he's got a sold out tour. Like he went on American Idol as well. Great. This guy got all no's.

And I think he's so good. Anyways, his name is Evan Hohner. And this song is called I Don't Know Shit About Cars. Well, I tend to drink a lot. Hohner and this song is called I don't know shit about cars I'm the last of my kind It's bullheaded right I get lonely at night Filling up my dreams With steep gasoline
