Um, what up, YFTers? Your boy is in a mexico bienvenidos a mexico this way i am and i gotta tell you you're gonna get a weird fucking show today because i was filming last night until like four o'clock in the morning well like three but then once i'm done i need like an hour to unwind and like calm down from the fucking weirdness that is filming bachelor in paradise season number nine so yeah i didn't really sleep at all i mean i know i slept i slept like 10 and then i was woken up by brandy being like i thought we were recording a podcast because i definitely did tell her that we were supposed to record a podcast this morning but then I had a very late night because we did a bunch of stuff.

Now I am almost unable to function. I've had three cups of coffee. Yeah, so anyways, we are a dick deep in Bachelor in Paradise season number nine. We've ripped through, I think, one rose ceremony thus far. But by the time you listen to this, we will have done two. So I'm not going to tell you who got dumped or even who's here. All that you need to know is that I'm here and I'm just cutting it up, man. I'm just making new buddies. But I tell you what, dude, this is the first year I feel truly old. All right. Anyways, let's call the brand die. Bing bong boom

digga digga digga bing ding dong. I don't have the sound effects and this is bad editing. Oh, there she is. Wow. Wow. How are ya? I'm good. Are we recording? We are.

Are you having a mimosa? I fucking wish. I'm having some defense up juice because my immune system is taking a hit with all this travel and all this partying I'm doing. You're just living it up, dude. L-I-V-I-N. Living high on the hog.

Are you making money at least? I'm making some money, yeah. Alright, well that's all that really matters. You're right. Are you making money? I don't know. I was telling the wife tears before I called you up. Like, I worked until like 4 a.m. last night. Well, like 3, I think I wrapped.

And then you probably have the same thing. Like, once you're done with your gig, you need like an hour to like wind down. Decompress. Yeah. And like, I need like a glass of tequila or like a glass of wine to be like fucking calm it down yeah i don't even know why it's not like i'm on stage acting i'm just like giving people advice and making drink you know it's not like it's i don't know but i used to have the same problem when i was yeah but there's oh that's weird you didn't have that

you'd be like you do have like a long shift or pull a double, and then you'd come home and you'd be like, dude, I just need a drink. I'm buzzing right now. No, I would go right to sleep. Yeah, that's because you were a hostess. You never really were in the weeds with us. I waited tables. Oh, you did?

I thought you were just a hostess. I did once I was old enough. I started hostessing when I was 15. I was not old enough to wait tables. I think they make you wait until you're 16 or 17 to do that. I can't remember. Yeah. I want to say it was 17 at J.

Alexander's because of the whole, like bringing alcohol to the table thing. Got it. Yeah. You had to get, you had to get your ABC card. At least I did. Yeah.

I'll tell you what, if I've learned anything, this is the first year of paradise where I truly am old. Like I feel it now. Well, I saw your cute little TikTok where you were talking about the words that they're using and all the flags and all the things. And these are things I learned about on TikTok. So maybe you just need to spend a little more time on TikTok. And if I'm being honest, like that was a bit.

Like I kind of know what all those things are. But like it's so funny. I don't believe a word out of your mouth at any time. Never let the truth get in the way of good story, Brandy. I've told you this a million times. There's a reason why this works for me. This is that I'm full of shit. The whole bit was, I don't really understand what the fuck these kids,

these Gen Zers are saying they've taken over. You know, it's all like low key, high key. What key's opening this door? I high key don't understand what the fuck you're talking about. It's all about flags, green flags, red flags, beige flags. And beige flags are just an idiosyncrasy of your character. That's like neither good nor bad. And that's just kind of who you are.

I don't understand what we're even talking about. Beige flags. Like I understand like a red flag being like, well, he cheats on his wife. That's a red flag, you know? Green flag. Oh, he donates to St. Jude's. Green flag. He likes coffee in the morning.

My beige flag is I like coffee. Fucking everyone likes coffee. What are we talking about here? And then the other thing, everyone's talking about vibes. The vibes. Dude, the vibes are good. I mean,. The vibes. Dude, the vibes are good. I mean, vibes are important. Dude, the vibes are really important.

But here's the thing. Vibes are important. And vibes are important when they're good. But when the vibes are off, okay? Let's just say it sucks. Let's just say, eh, today's not the day. Let's say, hey, the vibes are off. Okay.

And my favorite one, and this is one that I don't even think I used in the bit-hmm. And my favorite one, and this is one that I don't even think I used in the bit, but it is my favorite one. Every fucking girl, guys don't do this, every fucking girl does the, it's giving.

That's giving. That dress is giving. The fuck is it giving? What are you fucking talking about? It's giving what? I'll tell you what it's giving. It's giving me a fucking headache. You sound like a crazy person.

It started as it's giving something or it's giving something. Like, you know what I mean? Like, it's giving Disney princess or it's giving, like, I don't know, slutty something. Like, it started with it's giving and then a noun or an adjective and a noun. But now I feel like, you know, we shorten everything these days. something like it's it started with it's giving and then a noun or an adjective and a noun but now i feel like you know we shorten everything these days like everything just gets shortened more and more and more and and now it's just it's giving you don't even have to finish the sentence yeah just giving you know then i did hear someone say i'm confusion and i was like what the fuck

does that mean i'm i'm confused you're confusion but you can't use it that way, lady or guy. Saying I'm confusion is so fucking confusing. I'll tell you what, I high key don't understand the beige flag vibes right now because it's giving confusion. Boom. Just use all of them in one sentence. And you know what? It made zero sense, which makes the most sense here. This is what I'm dealing with every single day. Every day I'm making drinks and I'm like, I don't know what they fucking said. You know? It's like I'm actually listening to a different language.

These kids are crazy. No, we have a good cast. They're sweet kids. That's what's happening with my life right now. I'm underslept, underfed. I'm confusion. Yeah, you're underfed i'm confusion yeah you're confusion i'm confusion and i got a rose ceremony and that means i got another late one coming at me oh i know oh yeah oh how's the weather down there because i'll tell you what i'm in los

angeles and it's shitty shitty shitty shitty i know sarah's telling me about it i tell you what it's fucking beautiful here move to puerto vallarta or shailita or punta pita immediately we haven't had a bad day yet which knock on wood that stays but like sarah was saying that it's real hazy and like overcast there and then she's she's coming down here next week and she's like the day that i leave la is the day it turns nice in la oh well we'll see Because the forecast looks like it's decent. Like it says sun every day on the forecast. But there is no sun to be seen. It is freezing here.

Really? My friend Val was wearing a cashmere turtleneck this morning. It's cold. Cashmere? Cashmere. Fuck that noise. But also, cashmere is great. Give me a ding for cashmere.

Yeah. But you know what? I don't have a bell. Here's the problem with cashmere. It's me a ding for cashmere yeah but you know what i don't have a bell here's the problem with cashmere it's too can't wash it yes it's too similar to other fabrics that you just accidentally throw in the laundry and then it gets washed and gets ruined i know can we figure that out clothiers you know can we make a cashmere that doesn't shrink is that a possibility i don't think so so what do you do you just take it to the dry cleaner is that how it's done yeah i have a specific hamper because i have a lot of cashmere i have a specific hamper in my closet that is for dry cleaning only so what because i hate like taking just one or two things so i like wait

until there's like 10 items in there and then i take it to the dry cleaners that's smart sarah and i should do that i I like that. Yeah. That is a good idea. I'm a genius. Yeah, all right. So why are you in LA? Because I was in Vegas yesterday, played at Encore Beach Club. If I had a bell, I would give a ding because I fucking love the Wynn. I love Encore Beach Club.

Great venue, great place to play. I have stayed all over Vegas in every hotel possible. And I got to say, the wind's fabulous. The beds are comfy. The water pressure is stellar. The hotel is not new, but it's still nice and comfortable and clean. The restaurants are amazing. I ate at this steakhouse called SW and had the best steak dinner of my life. Well, not my life, but in a long time. And I had these crab tater tots jumbo crabs they're so good like so good anyway so the food's great i love the win um and then there were there were some

yfters in the crowd which that just makes me so happy i i told my best friend keys she was with me i was like nothing makes me happier than when people come up to me in the middle of my set and they say and they say i'm a yftr and i'm like what and then i turned down they're like i'm a YFT-er. And I'm like, what? And then I turn it down. They're like, I'm a YFT-er. And I'm like, oh, I love that so much. That's nice. That just makes me so happy. So how long are you in LA for? Oh, literally two days.

Yeah. I'm shooting a couple of magazines because I'm bougie. And then on, I don't even know if I told you this, but on Thursday, I'm actually going back to Italy. Did I tell you this? No. Oh. So my mom's fiancé is filming a movie over there.

Cool. And he's already there shooting, and he's begging for my mom to come. And my mom is not a good traveler. She doesn't like to travel. She's kind of scared to fly, especially that long distance, which is fair. Flying over the ocean does freak me. But she will not do it alone. And so she was like, the only way I'll go is if you come with me and fly with me. And I was like, mom, you can't miss out on like an epic trip in Italy

with your man because you can't go alone. That's so silly. Because at first I didn't think I could go. And then she was like, yes, I can. I'm not going without you. I'm too scared. And then so I was like, whatever. She was like, I'll pay for your flight. I'll do whatever it takes. And I was like, you'll pay for my business class flight. And she was like, I'll do whatever it takes. And I was like, sign me the fuck up. I'll go right back to Italy with on a business class ticket. So we're going on Thursday. I know for like a little over a week. And I'm excited because I was just there a month ago. But it was so busy because it was like can and we had places places to be and like I only really spent two days in Rome we moved around every night so it was just really quick and crazy and this time I get to

stay put for a whole week there's not really an itinerary you know we can just do whatever we want and I haven't gotten to travel with my mom in a long time so I'm really excited nice well that Well, that's awesome. All right. Well, should we start the show? Oh, yeah. I think it's me. Okay, go. Oh, okay. Bros and hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with... Wells and Brandy.

With no bells. With no bells. With very little Wi-Fi. And I got to be honest with you, and I don't want everyone to get upset, but like, listen, your boy's got to work, and he's working all day. And so that means he's not watching as much TV and finding as much stuff for you. So I think this is going to be somewhat of a shorter episode, but I've got some things. All right.

I don't know if you've got things okay great i mean i do have a couple things okay well i want to start with okay great how about all the ufo stuff that's happening right now an amazing amount of ufo stuff oh well tell me because i'm must be living under a

rock i don't know about any of it okay so there is now a whistleblower that was in the military who's come out and is like yeah we there's plenty of extraterrestrial evidence some exotic crafts we have them other countries have them we have crafts with beings from other places we totally have all this stuff the pentagon's having to like take it seriously because under the whistleblower act, he has to be kept safe and everything. And everyone's saying it's fucking legit. It's insane. And then the other thing is, did you see the thing in Vegas? No, but I was just there.

Tell me. There was, it looked like a meteor that came through and crashed into Vegas. So there's a bunch of cops with their body cams seeing it. And there's a bunch of video of it. Oh, man, there's this crazy meteor. There's a bunch of cops with their body cams seeing it. And there's a bunch of video of them like, oh, man, there's this crazy meteor. There's a 911 call. This kid's like, hey, something just crashed in our backyard. And there's these eight-foot-tall aliens there with black eyes. Here, I've got the audio of it.

This is crazy. I swear to God, this is not a joke. They're like nine-foot, ten-foot tall. They look like aliens to us. Big eyes. They have big eyes. I have butterflies tall. They look like aliens to us. Big eyes. They have big eyes. I have butterflies, bro. Everyone thought I was shooting a star.

Then these people say there's aliens in their backyard. It was like a big creature. Because I'm not going to BS you guys. One of my partners said they saw something fall out of the sky too. So that's why I'm kind of curious. Did you see anything land in your backyard? If those nine foot beings come back, don't call us. All right.

Deal with it yourself. I ain't dealing with that. Like how the cops like, hey, if those nine foot beings come back, don't call us, all right? Deal with it yourself. I ain't dealing with that. Like all the cops, like, hey, if those nine-foot beings come back, don't call us because I don't want to deal with that. Anyway, so that happened. Straight up, like, this is what I think is happening, all right? And let me put on my tinfoil hat here. I think that the government's like, listen, at this point,

we can't hide it anymore. Everyone's got a fucking 4K camera in their pocket every single day. Like there's nothing that we can do about it. So we're going to start slowly letting this stuff out. Because I think if there was like a press conference tomorrow with the president being like, guess what? We got aliens. They live here. They're here all the time.

All right. We have like a treaty with them that we made back in Area 51. People would fucking lose their mind. But if you slow play it, and you sprinkle in some like Donald Trump indictments, sprinkle in a little bit of like Canada fires that are making New York fucking look like Armageddon, you know? Just sprinkle in some of this stuff,

then people are like, yeah, whatever, I don't know, it's fucking aliens or whatever. And then so when they're finally like, yes, when someone gets like a very good video and it's like goes on TikTok or whatever, the government's like, yeah, we've been letting you guys know what you're talking about. And then it won't be that big of a deal.

So that's one of the things happening. I think we're living in a time right now where we're going to get to experience the aliens. Well, that's exciting. I've always been excited about that. I feel like I don't know why aliens get such a bad rap. Like what if they're cool as fuck, you know? I think they are cool as fuck.

I think that obviously if they got these ships that can fucking do crazy stuff, they could definitely probably fuck us up a little bit, you know? Probably, but we should just be cool, and maybe they'll not do that. Yeah, and maybe they come down here, and they're like, you know what? The vibes are off right now.

We gotta wait until 2023, and then they're like, okay, the vibes are still off, but you know what? We're gonna do it, and they're like, okay, the vibes are still off, but you know what? We're going to do it. And you know, they're like, listen, humanity's beige flags

is that they're stupid. I think that we are like going to be hanging out with aliens pretty soon. That's what I think. Well, that sounds cool. I think so too. But now I'm wondering

if like they're not from different planets, but they're like just from here. Like they just like live in the ocean or something. No. They're from like an old civilization. Could be.

I don't think so. Could be. No don't know anyways I thought that was pretty interesting that that's happening so they get used to it kids well they're invited to all my DJ gigs sounds super fun to party with aliens think so yeah they'd love Vegas well they just crashed there I know maybe they were coming to your gig and they missed the turn. Maybe. That would be sick. Maybe they were there. You don't even know it.

Maybe they were there. All right. So do you have some fave things, bro, or what's going on? Well, bro, yeah. So I finally, and I'm so late on this, but I finally finished Outer Banks. Is it season four, the most recent season? Yeah. Did you ever finish it or no?

I know last we talked you were like frustrated that they were like villainizing John B's dad Big John yeah or whatever Big John Rutledge and so like I will say I agreed with you and it was tough to get invested in this season like it took me getting like 4 or 5 episodes

in for it to kind of get good but I loved the ending. And they did leave it on a bit of a little, not cliffhanger, but definitely, like, a tangent, you know, where they could come in and do something really cool in season five. So, I don't know. I think it was worth the watch, you know, even though the first few episodes were a little bit of a struggle. I will say, though, is it just me or did the acting get worse on that show something was off the vibes were off i think like even even charles estin who i love i was like i feel like you're just overacting it like a little much for me yeah

maybe they had like less time to do it you know so that's less takes they were able to do i don't know i don't know either but But yeah, so I finished that. You know, it was fine. All right. That's cool. I finally, because the wife tears pressured me. Oh. I finally, begrudgingly, watched Shrinking.

Oh, begrudgingly? Well, no, because they were like, you got to watch Shrinking. Why aren't you watching Shrinking? You need to talk about Shrinking. I'm like, Jesus Christ. Relax. And what's the verdict phenomenal really yeah it's so good like i am so annoyed with that the fact that it took a very long time to do it it's and it's so my type of show too it's like kind of in the vein of like ted lasso and of louder milk it's a dramedy it is dramatic but it's like very funny

and very, very heartwarming. A grieving therapist starts to tell his clients exactly what he thinks. Ignoring his training and ethics, he finds himself making huge changes to people's lives, including his own, shrinking. I guess I didn't realize that Jason Segel was a shrink. I think I thought he was a guy going to a shrink.

And I think I thought that shrink was Harrison Ford's character, Paul. Okay. And I was wrong about that. He is a shrink. His co-worker is also Harrison Ford. He's in a tough spot in his life. And he's listening to all these, you know, these idiots come in there. And it's funny because a therapist really isn't supposed to tell you what

to do. A therapist is supposed to kind of direct you into making the right decisions. And he gets frustrated and he's like, I'm just going to tell you what you need to do. You know, like the people like you need to leave your husband, like he is abusing you, you know, like this is ridiculous. You need to leave. So it's really interesting. But like then it's like really helping his life, which is great, man. Ding, ding, ding, shrinking. So good. I'm new. I'm new and do it like I'm in just like the first couple episodes, but I love it. And then his his relationship with his daughter is really beautiful. And his next door neighbors are really, really funny, and Harrison Ford is great.

And then you know who's really good in it? Jessica Williams, who I think she's on The Daily Show. She's really funny. She plays a shrink as well. Heidi Gardner from SNL is on it. The cast is really good. So anyways, go check it out. Shrinking is fantastic.

It's on Apple TV+. Okay, cool. Yeah. Well, you know what's finally back? I actually don't even know that you ever watched season one, but do you remember the show Cruel Summer? Yes. On Hulu?

Yes. Did you watch it? No. I didn't think so. It was really good. So it's been a long time since that finished, but finally they've come out with a season two. I kind of wanted

them to bring back, I wanted them to continue the story with the same characters because I was so invested in those characters and I loved them and whatnot. But at the same time I do kind of see how that story was just kind of over after season one. So what they've done is just started over a whole new story with a whole new cast

for season two. You don't have to have seen like you don't have to have seen don't have to have watched um season one to watch this at all like it's totally new but it's um shot the same it's kind of set in the same time like the 90s and it's kind of i guess like the same idea of like obviously someone's murdered or missing or what like they pull a body out of the lake in episode one. And obviously, like, this group of kids that they introduced to you have something to do with it. And I'm sure the whole season will be, like, figuring out what happened.

So same premise, different characters, different cast. But it's got me hooked. I loved season one so much. So I hope that this one is just as good. But highly recommend if you're into that. In a small Texas town, popular teen Kate is abducted. Seemingly unrelated, a girl named Jeanette goes from being a sweet, awkward outsider to the most popular girl in town. But by 1995, she's become the most despised person in America.

Cruel Summer on Hulu and Freeform in June. That's the premise for season one. Those are the characters in season one. But season two, like I said, it's very similar. It kind of sets it up with this girl. I don't know what town it's set in, but it looks like Oregon or maybe somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. The thing I like about this show is they kind of show you things in three different timelines right it's like and it'll and it's they're very clear about what timeline is what in the beginning so that you kind of get

a gist of it but it shows like current and the girl is like super emo black hair piercings like you know dresses like super alternative and that's current day and then you see flashbacks of her where she's like super pretty like popular girl vibes preppy and things like that and then this other girl comes in it kind of seems like this other girl is almost like an exchange student i think she like lives in another country wanted to experience america and she comes in and she's um you know wearing like designer clothes and she's a cute girl. All the boys love her. And so obviously these two girls become friends at some point and they have something to do with the body that's being pulled from the lake and you don't know what. So that's kind of the premise for season two.

Got it. Juicy. Juicy. Yeah. Love a good YA murder mystery, you know? Yeah. I mean, who doesn't? I realize that I've been a little hard on the Mormons, Okay. Here we go. I will. I'll own that, you know. Okay. But I mean, there are some fundamentalist Mormons that are doing some weird shit. But I started watching a documentary called Shiny Happy People all about the Duggars. Sounds terrifying. Hold for plane? Hold for plane.

Do you know who the Duggars are? Vaguely. They were on like TLC or Bravo or whatever, you know, and it's this family of super religious weirdos that there's like 19 of them, you know? Like they had like 19 kids. Uh-huh. This poor woman's fucking uterus

has been fucking dragged through hell and back can you imagine what this thing looks like i don't want to i mean these ovaries have got to be like hey can we take a break like just for a second like so i can just chill out oh my god like 19 kids coming out of your vagina. Like one is a lot. And then also, hey, Duggar dad, calm down with the pounding. Yeah, or just like wrap it up, you know? I don't know. Yeah, but they're religious.

They don't believe in condoms and stuff. Sounds like a ploy to have sex without a condom, if you ask me. Like, oh, don't believe in it. Sorry. Okay, buddy. Dude, here's the tag tag docu-series exploring the truth beneath the surface of reality tv's mega family the duggars shiny happy people duggar family secrets so it's the same storyline as the crazy fundamentalist mormon you need to you'd have as many kids as possible so you can use you more people to fight

the war against like liberalism and you know spread the word of god all under the veil of like we're not teaching any of these kids really anything that has to do with like normal society of course they're all homeschooled the women are like taught to like stay at home and cook and the guys are like taught to like fuck your home and cook and the guys are like taught to like fuck your wife until her ovaries fall out of her vagina like it is insane and they made this tv show for so many years so i guess what i realized is that like there's really very there's no difference between fundamentalist mormons and like crazy christians you know it's just it's just all the same.

It's all the same thing is what's happening. Shiny happy people, the Duggars. It's just terrifying if I'm being honest with you. It's just, it's always the same thing. It's always like, then there's pedophilia. Like it makes, it's like super religious, super religious, super religious. And then there's pedophilia every single time.

What's going on here? What is the correlation between super religious, super religious. And then there's pedophilia every single time. What's going on here? What is the correlation between super religious and now I like little boys? Like, I just don't understand. Why? I don't understand either. We need the aliens to come and fix this, okay? Yeah, if they could take all the fucked up people away, that would be super cool. Be super helpful, guys.

Yeah. All the, like, way over the top religious people let's get them out of here i agree take them to some planet do you know what's yeah yeah you know what's really funny though is that like that's what america was started with you know i know it was like a bunch of people in england were like, you guys are way too religious and fucking freaking us out. Just go over there. Go to this new place. And then we wonder why, you know, we got the fucking Mormon fundamentalists ripping each other's armpits with their penises and, you know, doing soaking exercises. And then you got this family on TLC where the father won't stop having sex with them.

family on TLC where the father won't stop having sex with them, wife must be like, please stop. Can you just one time evacuate your balls not inside my vagina? Just one time. Can't do it. No. Yeah. Can't do it. Also, financially, bro, dude, that's too many kids. You can't afford that. No one can afford that. I agree. Big facts. Big big facts i know i came from a big family you know i i'm the youngest of five but i'm the oldest of five yeah that's i think that's the cutoff five is the cutoff definitely yeah three would have been just fine yeah you know i mean like i wouldn't have been around so like i'm glad i was a mistake which is pretty great. Yeah, pretty great.

Pretty great. But anyways, yeah, the shiny, happy people, the Duggars, pretty great. I mean, just actually terrifying. There is a documentary called Game Changer. It came out in, like, 2018, so I have a feeling we talked about it before. What's crazy about it is the EPs on the show are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan. What? Yeah. What's it about? A UFC fighter's world is turned

upside down when he discovers an elite group of world-renowned athletes and scientists who prove that everything we'd been taught about protein was a lie. The Game Changers, fueled by the truth on netflix it's just ufc fighter who's like i've always been taught to be strong and um to build lean muscle you need to

eat meat you need to eat like red meat and you know like protein protein protein and then he goes on this like long journey and like it starts with like he realizes that like the the roman gladiators they started like looking at their bone density and they realized that their bone density was like much more um what's much stronger than like normal people from rome and like what were the roman gladiators doing differently than everyone else. And they realized that basically they were on like a, nothing but a plant-based diet. Plant-based proteins are like much better for you and make you stronger and increase your endurance much more so than meat based diets. What's interesting is, is they're like, well, you're getting protein one way or

another, but it's all coming from plants. So if you eat a cow or you eat a pig, you eat a chicken, they eat plants and that's how they make their protein. And then you get their protein by eating their meat. Or you can just cut out the middleman, just go eat the plants and then you get the same protein. So it's all these like super athletes who are like all vegetarian or like on a on a mainly vegetarian diet and the benefits of it and it's pretty interesting i'm not saying i'm gonna stop eating meat because your boy loves a steak and a cheeseburger it makes you think it does and i

think that like i should just eat more i do eat a lot of vegetables i eat a lot of like hummus and stuff you know chips and salsa is that a vegetable, hummus is chickpeas or garbanzo beans. Yes, chickpeas is a veg? Yeah, it's a bean. Okay. What did you think it was? Are beans vegetables? Well, they're a legume.

Yeah, I guess so. I mean, it's a fruit or there's a lot of fiber in beans. Lord knows, I know that. Uh-huh. And it's not a piece of Lord knows. I know that. Uh-huh. And it's not a piece of an animal. I know that. No, I know, but vegetables? I don't know if it's a vegetable.

I mean, the fruits, vegetables, you know. Uh-huh. Seeds. That's all. Yeah. It's a vegetarian option. Okay. Yeah.

I mean, listen, getting caught in the weeds of semantics here i'm talking about not eating a chicken today yeah yeah it's really good go check it out okay fascinating yeah i don't know i think here's the thing i i'm no scientist i'm not sure if you guys realize that but i'm no scientist i think the thing that's bad for us humans is sugar. Mm-hmm. And I think complex carbohydrates like breads and cakes and that stuff. That's what I think. So basically all the good stuff.

Yeah. That's the truth. That's the good stuff. Those are all my favorite things. I know. I fucking love bread. I had some bread today. I eat so much sugar.

It's so terrible. It's not good for you though. I know. Yeah. I know It's not good for you, though. I know. Yeah. I know it's not good for you. I'm doing just fine, though. What? Are you drinking like a Celsius?

No, water. Oh, that's good. Liquid death. Oh, that's a very popular thing these days. It's really tasty. And I love the can. Drinking water from the Alps. Do you think you are, though?

Or do you think it's just like from the LA River? It says the Alps. Yeah, I'm not sure if I believe that. Yeah, you're frozen and the expression on your face is everything. I know, I can see it. It's too good. It looks like I'm about to sneeze. It's too good. They did just release the final season of Manifest on Netflix. Did you see that? I saw that, yeah. Did you see that there's like 20 episodes no there are they went hard in the paint for this last season good yeah it's like a double season yeah that's what we need so i got that downloaded for the flight and then also i saw there's this new paramount

plus show coming out called special ops with nico Kidman. It's got like a stacked cast. Oh, it's a Taylor Sheridan show. It's called Special Ops Lioness. And it's Nicole Kidman and Zoe Saldana. I can't freaking wait for that to come out. I think it comes out soon. I saw a promo for it yesterday. Cool.

So last week, I did this whole thing on the challenge and how like I was a notatory and everything. And then it became too real because we did that whole bit and then we made a video of it and put it on the internet and then she responded to the video and she saw what i said about her and i feel so bad and she's obviously never going to listen to this because she's probably like fuck these people and we're not going to make this one into a video but i just want to go ahead and say i'm sorry tori because i saw a lot of people were like, you don't understand the dynamics.

She was the one who ended the relationship with Jordan. And it's not Jordan's fault. Listen, I don't know all the idiosyncrasies of this relationship. I'm just talking about the gameplay. And I was just annoyed by it. But anyways, I do feel very bad because she commented on it. And now I feel like an asshole. And if I ever run into this person, I'm like, eww.

So I just got to watch what I say, you know? Mm-hmm. You do. People fucking find out. They do. Which is scary. I know, isn't it? I don't love that.

Anyways. Do you have anything else? I don't think so. Yeah. I feel like we're, let's just, it's okay. We're doing a short show. Like, I'm working a lot. Yeah, I'm sorry, guys. It's just, it is okay. We're doing a short show. Like, I'm working a lot. Yeah, I'm sorry, guys.

It's just, it is what it is. Like, I've just got a lot going on. I got to go do a rose ceremony a little bit, so. When you say you have to go do a rose ceremony, what does that mean? Does that mean Jesse Palmer's not here? Does that mean you're the one, like? No, no, no, no, no, no. Jesse's here.

Well, then what are you doing at the rose ceremony? I bartend. The rose ceremony? Okay, so when I say rose ceremony, what I mean is like the cocktail party. I'll pull back the veil a little bit when it comes to paradise. When it's a day with a rose ceremony, nothing happens that day. Okay. Except you go and film like your intro package if there's a potential that you could be going home,

right? Got it. So they'll film those during the day. And then once the sun goes down, boys and girls walk across the beach and we get that shot of them, like walking across the beach and like taking off their shoes and putting their shoes on, you know,

like that whole thing. And then they all go meet up in the Rose Palapa. And that's when they're all sitting down that little like bench. And then Jesse comes in and he's like, you got to have the conversations that you got to have, because time's running out. And some of you won't be here by tomorrow. And you know, if you, if there are some things that you need to say, it's time to say them now. And it's always the same thing, right? And then the cocktail party starts. And so I'm always down at the bar. And then you know, people are having the conversation that needed to have and there's fights that are

had and you know, their love triangles, and I needed to have. And there's fights that are had. And, you know, there are love triangles. And I have to do that. And those just go really late because we have to start late. If that makes sense. Right. That makes sense. And then once, you know, once Tink Tink happens. And Tink Tink is when Jesse comes in and goes, Tink, Tink, Tink.

And he's like, come on up. It's time to start the roast. And then they all go back up there. And then once they do that, then I can leave. But that's usually around like 3 o'clock in the morning. Whoa. Yeah. So it's brutal, man.

Oh, it's a tough life, I tell ya. No, it's really not that bad. And I actually really like this cast, if I'm being honest with you. Well, great. Yeah, they're just young. And I don't know if I've said this before, but last season was tough because no one would go into the boom boom room. I don't know if you remember that. Yeah, I like yeah i don't know why not i'd be like

take me to the air conditioning that's exactly what i say i say yeah you don't have to fuck you can just go and sleep next to somebody also if you're thinking about getting engaged to somebody and you've never slept next to them that's weird that's weird uh yeah because i need to know right away if you snore because if if you do, that is a deal breaker. Yeah. This is why we'd have never worked out. I think it's weirder if you get engaged to somebody on this show and you've never... You don't have to have sex with them.

But I do think you should have sex with them. I do too. But spend the night together. Yeah. It's so weird. And so I have a theory on this now. Okay. So now that we have like kind of exited out of millennials being on this show, i.e. me and you, and we've moved into Gen Z's doing this, all these kids have lived the majority of their lives making their own reality show vis-a-vis their social media.

True. They're all the star of their own little social media show. And so they're hyper aware of how they're presenting themselves always. Okay. Yeah, I could see that. And so they've gone from a place where they can control the narrative of how they're being perceived to a place where they can't. So the only way that they can control how they're being perceived and the narrative of which their storyline is going is by saying i'm not gonna do that thing even though

that's crazy like it's crazier that you wouldn't go go sleep with somebody than i you know just sleep next to somebody that you're dating before you get engaged yeah so yeah So yeah, it's, we're in a weird world and I'm, I'm telling all the people, I'm like, you have to understand when people watch this back, they're gonna be like, that was weird. You didn't want to get intimate with the person you were getting engaged to.

That's a crazy, you're, this is crazy talk unless you're on the Duggars. But here's the thing. The Duggars would be going that fantasy suite and be pounding it out. There'd be 17 fucking Paradise Babies out here. Yep. Yeah, dude.

Vibes are off, man. Vibes. Vibes are off. But I like these kids. They just got to, you know, got to help them out a little bit. Fascinating. Yeah. All right.

So what do you got coming up? Rome, baby, Rome. When are you going to Rome? We just talked about this. I know, but like when exactly? Like tomorrow? Thursday. Thursday? Thursday. Thursday.

All right. Yeah. Thursday, and then I'll be there for like a week and a half, and then I fly straight from Italy to Michigan because I am playing at Electric Forest Festival, which I'm really fucking excited about. Nice. I'll be flying.

Yeah. It's like an EDM festival it literally in the literal forest like in the middle of nowhere again it's gonna be so cool that's awesome i'm filming this and then when i go home i'm home for like five days and i'm going to portugal so what yeah what for my mom's 75th birthday she's flying all of us out there to see our roots to see where we came that is incredible i know i've never been to portugal so i'm very excited about that me either i'm jelly well you're going to rome yeah i know but portugal is like high on my list like portugal and all those like spanish islands over there i just

The food is kind of similar, but really, really good. And then obviously we're going to be like down in the Algarve, which is like down like on the water, which is really cool.
