What are you posting?
Is that your vocal warm-up?
I do have vocal warm-ups, by the way.
I am posting some fresh Diamond status content. Let me tell you.
Can we talk about how that's taken off?
Yeah, people do like the Diamond status thing.
They freaking love it. It makes me so
happy. Guys, we're recording from my
house because I have not been home at all this month.
And I have a million things to do in preparation for this Y2K party this weekend in Nashville.
And I just asked the boys if they would just please come to my house.
I would provide tacos for dinner and everything.
And here we are.
The tacos sold me on it because I was like, just come to the studio.
I knew it would.
Just come to the studio.
You're like, i got so much
to do i do you saw the housekeeper was here i couldn't leave until she was done your housekeeper
had so much to do she did that wasn't my fault they normally send three girls and knock it out
in like an hour and a half yeah whatever and to be fair i helped her most of the day i did all
the laundry i which i normally do um i made the beds which sometimes they'll do unnecess. So I just went ahead and made them so she wouldn't waste time on that.
And picked up trash and cleaned out the fridge.
And like that way I felt like I hope she felt like she wasn't alone, you know.
I feel like this whole podcast is going to be you and Ben just promoting this event.
You're probably right.
And the thing about it is that I don't know if I'm going to be able to get it edited and posted before the event happens well i'm just telling you like right off
the bat today's tuesday no today's wednesday all right that shows you how fried my brain is i know
well you've been at chela chela man hey did you take a squad pick in front of the um no ferris
wheel throwing up deuces i didn't do that but i was
gonna post this on twitter but i didn't want to waste it because i plan on also posting it on
insta later okay but i did take a solo pick in front of the ferris wheel which i will show you
are you throwing up deuces good no i'm just like giving face you know everyone like like i i tweeted this out the other day if you showed somebody just
asked them to search engine hashtag coachella that had never heard yeah of coachella and didn't know
what it was they would have no idea that music was being performed no idea at all zero idea and
honestly part of the reason i don't like going anymore is because I do feel like the crowd that goes now truly is not there for the music at all.
I don't think the crowd ever was going to Coachella for the music.
I don't know because back in the day, I think maybe they did.
I don't know.
I feel like it took a turn probably like five years ago when Instagram really started to take off and people started getting paid for stuff on Instagram.
I've never been to Coachella, so I really don't have an opinion on it but I can't believe that
I know but I've been to Bonnaroo the past almost 10 years in a row Bonnaroo is cool Bonnaroo is a
different beast and I'll tell you what the difference is you have to camp at Bonnaroo
you don't have to okay for the most part the year I went to Bonnaroo I slept in my nice house and
drove every day because I didn't want to camp.
But that's all well and good.
But for the most part, everyone stays there.
Whereas in Coachella, you go to your, like, La Quinta Airbnb.
That's not where I was.
And you can shower and change and look ridiculous the next day.
Camping at a festival is just not for me, though.
I camped at one festival.
Yeah. Cornerstone Music Festival. Do you know what that is no but i imagine it's a christian it is
it's a christian music festival in like the middle of nowhere i think indiana possibly illinois
somewhere up there and at the time i was 20 and my boyfriend played in a christian rock band
and he performed and he forced me.
Oh, God.
But he and the band slept on this, like, it wasn't a sprinter van because they didn't exist then, but it was very similar.
It was like an air-conditioned van.
And me and this other girl that went slept in a tent, and it was awful.
It was the worst experience of my life.
I went to bed freezing and woke up sweating or vice versa.
I can't remember.
Yeah.
It was terrible.
Should we start the show? Yeah. You or me? I kind of wanted Ben to start it, but he vice versa. I can't remember. Yeah. It was terrible. Should we start the show?
Yeah.
You or me?
I kind of wanted Ben to start it, but he's late.
I know.
Let me tell you something.
Everyone thinks that Ben is such a sweet, hard of a guy, which he is.
He is sweet.
But he's a fucking late motherfucker.
He is super late.
What is happening?
Like, straight up.
Like, it's 7 o'clock.
It's 7 o'clock.
Okay, so I was on the air.
I was doing my job, and I finished early to come here.
So I texted the group chain being like, hey, I'm done early.
Let's do this thing early.
And he was like, on the way to Brandy.
No, he texted me before you even said that and said, hey, I'm going to head over there now.
Yeah.
And I was like, I mean, I'm in the middle of 8 million things, but okay.
Yeah, so I get here.
Even I was a little bit late.
I get here. He's nowhere to be nowhere not answering texts we wait like a half an hour and we decided to start yeah so anyways do
you want to start do you want me sorry you start did you start last time i think i did start last
bros and hoes you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with wells and brandy and maybe ben
higgins oh i gotta get my bell app out.
Oh, it is.
It is Ben.
There he is outside.
Please hold while I find the bell app.
I think he's going to the wrong place.
He's going to the wrong house.
Should I go get him or let him figure it out?
Let's just watch him go.
Let's watch him knock on this door.
Can you video this?
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
For the content, please, because I'm busy getting a bell.
Oh, that's the wrong bell.
I want to watch him.
Hurry.
Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Where the hell is he?
He's going to the door.
Stop it.
He is not.
Stop.
Okay, so.
I secretly.
Why is he in a suitcase?
Ben is going to the wrong house.
I want them to open the door and be like, why is.
I want them to be like, I watched The Bachelor and you're Ben Higgins.
He is so crazy.
To be fair, my house number isn't very visible.
Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.
I'm not lying. This is the first time
this has ever happened. And the best part is
he has a suitcase. He's got a suitcase.
Should I go get him? No, I think
you can see us now. This is fantastic.
I can see him smiling.
Hey, buddy. that is so good
he's probably so upset that we let him do that wait have you ever seen have you ever seen ben
upset seriously yeah you have once i don't know if i've ever seen him upset i don't even know if
i saw him upset on tv is a piece of crap what's he going on here? You'd think that he would recognize my car, by the way. Hold on.
All right.
Oh, God, that was so funny.
Oh, he's on the phone.
So you went to Coachella.
I got to be honest with you.
Oh, you got it?
It seems like every freaking bachelor person
was at Coachella.
I only saw Robbie
and that's because
he stayed at my house.
And I barely even saw him.
Two nights,
I didn't even come home.
Robbie stayed there?
He did.
Okay, so hold on. Time out. Real quick real quick yeah right before coachella like there was like robbie amanda
drama i heard about it the only reason i even knew about it though is because olivia told me
in classic oh yeah she was like by the way your roommate is uh causing trouble and but we didn't
amanda's down there i didn't see amanda I really truly did not see anyone. Really? Yeah. But they were all there.
What is Revolve?
Someone tell me what the fuck Revolve is. I boycotted it this year.
Boycotted Revolve.
What is Revolve?
Okay.
It's this stupid online store, basically, is what it is.
Okay.
Where you buy clothes.
They do happen to have some pretty a pretty great clothes that's the unfortunate
part is i do like their clothes however they only work with girls that are like a freaking 15
like with a bang and bod that are drop dead gorgeous and to me they have this mentality
of like you can't sit with us unless you're a 15 oh really and i can't stand that at all
so i don't like revolve for that reason i just feel like they're not inclusive
of people and to me their marketing says you have to be a supermodel to look good in our clothes and
i don't like that i'm not about it either but they latch onto all these really pretty bachelor girls
oh yeah i saw amanda was all about it well that whole group raven yeah i know they seem to all be
down there together yeah that, that's cool.
But something tells me none of them got paid to be there.
I think that they all just want to be part of that crew a little bit, which I get.
I sent a text message in the Paradise group chain that we're in, and I was like, whatever
Revolve is paying you, they're not paying you enough.
Because every fucking post I saw was hashtag Revolve and hashtag Revolve party.
Let me tell you what
they do is they say we'll give you free clothes and for some people they'll give them festival
tickets and say you can stay at the revolve house if you do 15 posts over the weekend or whatever
it is and most people will do it for trade and not money just to be a part of the group that's
the dumbest thing i've ever heard it's insane i just i don't like it at all do you want to hear
something funny that i want to kind of bring up to bed?
Sure.
So like the last, not the last time I was here, but the time before I was here.
Mm-hmm.
Here in Nashville?
At your house.
At my house.
Was it a Halloween party?
Oh, so epic.
And remember who was there?
JoJo.
Yeah.
That's right.
Yeah.
And JoJo, we love her on TV.
Yeah, you're right.
I invited Ben to that party.
Maybe that's why he didn't come.
Yeah, I don't know.
That was a great party.
I can't wait for this year's party.
I know.
Are you going to come?
Yeah, why not?

That was the big party that unveiled that I was dating Sarah.
I know.
I know.
You had a fucking photo shoot with me and her and I was like, stop it.
I have all of it.
I know.
I've never released it and I have all of it.
So when I need blackmail on you, I'll probably post it.
Oh, there he is.
Look who decided to join us.
Oh, God.
He's so good looking.
What did they say?
Would you like a mic?
Are you wearing a Pacers hat?
Because I'm wearing a Cavs jersey.
Hey, everybody.
So I just showed up.
I Ubered from downtown.
I was staying in downtown Nashville.
And I showed up here.
And I was on a meeting with Generous' accountant.
And they were running through the books for this quarter because I have a meeting tomorrow and i showed up and i thought okay cool i'll just walk into the house
and secretly like disappear into like a corner to finish my meeting and not talk to brandy and
wells but instead when i got out of the uber he pulled up to the house across the street from
brandy's and i walked up to the door it was standing there waiting to get in because it was an important part of the meeting.
And somebody hits the door with a baby.
It wasn't Brandy.
What did you say?
Were you like, uh?
I said, is this Brandy's house?
And she goes, no, it's not.
And then I looked across the street and I saw two people laughing and waving in a window.
Well, I filmed it, the whole thing. Because I wanted to see what the expression is
of a woman
who opens the door
and Ben Higgins,
America's favorite bachelor,
is like at the door like,
hey, I'm with my bags.
Ready to go.
I don't think it was a good one,
honestly.
Well, I was secretly hoping
that she was like
an avid bachelor fan
and would open the door
and just like faint.
She's not.
She was just more creeped out.
And she was feeding her baby um like right from the tap i hope so i wish you had brought bells because
yeah straight from the tap um yeah so there's just a lot that happened there i was really
embarrassed but then i couldn't laugh too hard because I was on a meeting. So I had to be very serious.
But anyways, hey guys.
Hey.
Hey, how are you doing?
What's funny about what happened is that you picked the nicest looking house on the street
to walk up to, and my house actually looks very, very crappy.
Your house is great.
From the street.
But there's no curb appeal, and I do it on purpose because I don't want anyone breaking
into my house.
All right, that's smart, I guess.
I got to match the rest of the neighborhood, you know?
Yeah.
It's good to be at your house.
I mean, I've heard a lot about it and it looks awesome.
Is what you've heard all Halloween party stories or?
No, I've heard that, you know, you love this place and you put a lot of work into it.
And so I'm excited to see it.
I'll give you a tour.
I just had it cleaned.
Was this house part of the thing that you and your mom did for the TV show?
I wish because I would not have spent so much money on redoing it.
But no, i just didn't
want to wait around on the show and at the time we weren't even picked up yeah um and i had nowhere
to live so i just had to do it are you gonna do another one of those shows uh there's some chatter
okay nothing concrete i don't get people too excited all right brady fill me in a little bit
yep because obviously you and i have been friends for a while and i and i i know your
your mother uh very well very well you mean you met her once so what is it like moving out of
the house for you and especially into a house of your own that you had to put work into
like what is that dynamic because i feel like a lot of people would be able to relate with that
where okay you come from taking over our show right now no i was i was thinking about this walking into today i was like okay like brandy is incredibly
talented you have your own great thing going your whole family has their own things going
like own individual little pockets of the world right all very successful in their own right
and you say okay i want to start my own thing i want to work on a house i want to make a house
my own like you don't have to do that what do. Like you don't have to do that. What do you mean? I don't have to do that.
In all reality, you could just like mooch off your family for the rest of the life.
Nope, can't do that. Why?
They don't let me.
Okay. Really?
Really.
Are you kidding me?
This is something I wanted to always know. I wanted to know this.
Oh, let's get into this because what drives me more insane than anything.
Damn it. Ben's got better fucking questions than I do. I've wondered this for a while.
I'm a radio guy.
This is great.
Let's get into this.
No, I can't stand it when people comment on my photos.
So I do have a nice car right now.
It's the first time I've ever had a nice car in my life.
Before this car, I had a Prius that I ran into the ground.
And if I ever posted a photo or something and my Prius was in there,
they'd be like, oh my God, why does she drive a Prius?
Can't Miley buy her a nicer car?
Oh, good.
Like that does not happen in my family.
I've moved out at 18.
So I don't think Miley, I think Tish.
Tish could buy you a better car.
Miley would buy me something before Tish would.
I think Bill.
He would buy, well, he's helped with horses before, but always as like a gift, like a
Christmas gift or something.
But no, I've been out of the house since 18.
I went to college for one year.
I see Bill being kind of granoli.
Is Bill like, the only person that calls him that is his mom.
Okay, I just feel like we're not friends.
Bill, okay.
But if I were friends with Billy Ray Cyrus, we would be Bill.
No, no, no, no.
His friends call him B-R.
Okay, yeah.
So B, I was like, B-R seems kind of crunchy.
B-R is what his buddies call him.
Yeah, yeah, B-R would get you a Prius because he'd be like,
I'm worried about
like the environment.
Oh my gosh.
No, he doesn't care
about the environment.
No?
Not really.
He drives a truck.
Yeah, but he dresses so crunchy.
What's crunchy mean?
Like a hippie.
Yeah, he does.
It's basically,
it's more like,
his thing is like
comfort over everything though.
He wears what he wears
because it's comfortable.
Typical Bill. Yeah. BR. Good old good old br mama ruthie is the only person that calls him bill
william ray actually william ray yeah that's good i call him willie do you call him willie
wait so i i do want to know this though this is okay went to college for one year and then
actually lived on my friend Haley's couch.
Fun fact.
You know, Haley Williams in the band Paramore.
I do.
You don't know Paramore?
Ben.
Okay.
You know, Paramore.
So I lived on Haley's couch for like three months trying to figure out like what I was
going to do after that year of college.
And then I ended up moving out to LA and me and Trace shared a one bedroom apartment in
Valencia, which is 45 minutes from West Hollywood.
I, as a day job, if you will,
worked on the Hannah Montana set
as a featured background extra
for about two and a half years.
Really?
Uh-huh.
To pay my rent.
I sure did.
I was the Rico's surf shop worker.
Wait, so if we watch the show closely,
we'd see you?
Yes, and like the tiki hut on the beach,
I'll have on like a Rico's shirt
and I'm like the bartender or whatever.
Amazing.
Why couldn't you convince your sister and your dad i suppose to like get you a more prominent
role on that show i mean i had no acting experience you know like i did start taking
acting classes but at the time i didn't really want to act i just was like trying to figure out
what i was doing and then so through that and um i ended up that's how i started playing guitar
was then i started playing guitar and i was the guitarist in the Hannah Montana band.
So then I started to make a little bit more money as the guitar player,
and that's how I met this girl, Cody, and that's when we started Frank and Daryl.
But then after I signed to Interscope with Frank and Daryl,
I lived off of a $14,000 advance for a year and a half.
Don't know how I did it.
In L.A.?
In L.A.
I had like a zillion roommates.
Real quick, can we just talk about how comfortable Ben got immediately by taking off his shoes?
I thought that was proper.
No, I thought that was
what I was supposed to do
when I walk into somebody's house.
Most people, yeah.
This is like an Asian household
where you take your shoes off the door.
To be fair,
I thought that was a nice thing to do.
I thought I was being kind.
Well, to be fair,
Tish would be so happy
with you right now
because she can't stand
when people wear her shoes in the house.
My goal is to make Tish happy always. Oh, I know. You're turning bright red right now. I love Tish would be so happy with you right now because she can't stand when people wear her shoes in the house. My goal is to make Tish happy always.
Oh, I know.
You're turning bright red right now.
I love Tish.
Everyone loves Tish.
Literally everyone.
Smokeshow.
I know.
Total smokeshow.
She literally gets hotter every single year.
I know.
It's for her.
I don't understand it.
I don't get it.
God, man.
It's amazing.
Okay.
So really what you're trying to say here is that your family,
because they're a great family, would never let you mooch off of them
to make you just sit and settle.
And so you had to find a house, redevelop a house, refurbish a house,
and start your own career.
Yeah, but I've been doing this since 18.
Cool, awesome.
And my parents have never offered to help.
I would never ask.
That's just not the kind.
I don't do that.
I don't ask for help, sometimes to a fault.
But yeah, I don't know.
There's five of us.
It would kind of be a lot for them to support all five of us.
You know what I mean?
And in hindsight, I'm glad they didn't.
I had a restaurant job at 15 to pay for the gas in my beat-up Nissan Altima that they
bought me as a 16-year-old.
So I don't know.
Now looking back on it, I'm just thankful
because I feel like that's why I have good work ethic.
Yeah.
And I can take care of myself.
I feel like you've got to hit up Miley
if you need something.
No.
I mean, if it was an emergency.
Hey, Miles, I need...
I just would never ask.
I would never ask her.
I would get a grand.
Yeah.
Would never.
There'll be mortgage.
That's a little bit of scratch, Miley.
Come on.
Even if she offered it on the next day.
Remember when I quit my job at Jackson's to take you out?
Jay Alexander's.
Jay Alexander's.
I am the reason she was at a one-star.
I know.
That's what I'm saying.
We talked about that.
That was an amazing story.
And she should remember that and be thankful.
No, no.
Can I ask you a question?
Yeah.
Are we good with that?
I'm good now.
Okay.
I want to be clear on why Brandy has the work i think she does all right i don't yeah i've always wondered that so oh yeah i've never been able to ask appropriately
so i thought a podcast is the right time yeah this is inappropriate okay question yeah today
i was doing some manscaping uh-huh and um and i realized ben's looking at his armpit right now.
I manscaped my armpit today
and I cut myself on both sides.
Did you do that?
Yeah, I trimmed my armpit hair.
Yeah, trim, not like shave it.
Obviously, but...
Okay, so I guess my question is
because there's never really been
cut and dry, pardon the pun,
cut and dry rules
for the manscaping for the man.
You're right.
I think like for women.
There's only like three things you can do down there.
It's like you shave everything, the landing strip, Dorito chip, disco bush.
Like those are like the options you have.
But that's it.
Right?
You can't skew out of those four.
Now, what are
the expectations as a woman
for men? Because I don't
really know what I'm doing down there. You don't?
I think I'm doing the right thing, but
here's the thing. I've been around enough vaginas
to know what I think is right and wrong,
but I haven't been around enough
man bush to be like, man, that's
unruly. I have a follow-up
question. Once you explain it, I do-up question once you explain i do have
one question for you both okay okay i would say for me as long as it's like clearly like you do
something as for maintenance like i'm down yeah but like if it's like if it's like super clear
that you don't like gross you know like i don't expect anything crazy or, like, artsy down there.
Yeah.
You don't need, like, an arrow pointing down.
No, no.
But hold on.
So, one time, I was like, I just don't care.
And I just shaved it all off.
No!
That's worse.
Yeah, so, but then I was like, well, I can hook up with anybody because they're going
to think I'm a little boy.
Yeah.
Ugh.
Right?
Do you hook up with anybody?
well, I can't hook up with anybody because they're going to think I'm a little boy.
Which makes you hook up with anybody?
I really wish I had my bell.
So I just don't know what's right.
And I just want some clarification.
I don't think it's as black and white as it is for girls.
Do we need to shave our balls?
Seriously.
I don't think so.
I think that sounds dangerous.
It is dangerous. I don't think so. that's where my question comes in okay so obviously i was in the mood to shave today yeah um i haven't found quite found the product
to appropriately clean myself in terms of hair and this is not an ad this is not an ad and so
i thought this
would be a great time to add something in but we don't have anything i don't think unless you guys
can come up with something really quick i was shaving myself and i was like there's so many
ways i could do this without introducing myself to so much danger and pain like for example i mean
if you looked at my armpits right now they're not bad but i i'm nicked myself twice if you get on
low i had to stay way above
the surface you get what i'm saying right yeah so wells i want to know like what do you use because
i bought literally a gadget that i thought was gonna be perfect for this and it's turned a gadget
turned against me it bites me every time yeah yeah okay so i know you're talking about yeah
okay so this is fascinating this is what i do i've got the man trimmer that you can
change the guard level do you know i'm talking about yeah i go no guard though yeah okay so
this is what i do okay yeah i go i go like three over everything and then i go no guard where i
don't want any hair yeah and then i take conditioner for the balls and then use my face razor for the balls.
Same razor as you use on your face?
Yes.
Yeah.
I'm not against it.
I was going to ask you first before I said that.
I do the same thing.
I was going to ask you first.
I didn't want to be the one that said it.
Is that wrong?
Why would I not use...
If I had two razors...
Wait, do you do this in the shower I do in
the shower yeah yeah yeah there's no hygienic problems of this yeah but like
I so I I have I've gone no guard on on the scrote and that's where you get a
little bit of binding if you will pinch. I cannot with smoke. A little bit of pinch, if you will.
You want me to say it again?
Yes, please.
Well, if you go no guard on the scrote, you'll get a little bit of pinching, you know, a
little bit of binding.
Yeah.
And it's terrifying.
Well, and there is this issue where it's not just like preference.
I guess for men, it's a cleanliness factor that I need to keep up with.
Like, I don't want everything to just go wild because I lose track of myself.
And you're OCD.
Yeah.
I'm OCD.
Yeah.
I want to make sure that I'm clean and I'm proper, not just for anybody else.
You know, honestly, it's not for anybody else but myself.
Well, and for whoever's having to go down there and service you, you know?
That's always what I'm worried about.
Like, I don't want some...
Is that food?
Please say yes.
I'm just always worried that, like,
it's like the Thunder from Down Under funk situation,
and I feel like being clean down there helps in that problem.
Mm-hmm.
Anyways.
Guys, tacos are here.
Please hold.
I don't know, man.
I just don't know what I'm...
The truth is I just don't know what I'm doing, and I... Because, like't know what I'm doing and I because like I don't know about your guy friends like for my guy friends
If we're sitting around talking about like I hooked up with so-and-so sometimes it'll get brought up like man
She had a Dorito chip or a landing strip. Which is your what's your preference on that? I don't really care
No, you just said that now that you've been down there so many times,
seen so many, you know what is right.
To be honest with you, it's like whatever the girl feels comfortable with,
that's fine with me.
Really?
Yeah.
I would imagine I would just prefer the United States
because I need to study geography.
If they had the state capitals laid out.
So her clitoris would be like like in at the florida keys or something
is that would it be cut out in the shape of the united states yeah so you educate yourself yeah
right wells yeah like you're up in nebraska i need you down i need you down in alabama
okay so you're fine with like completely clean shaven, full bush, whatever. Okay, so serious.
I'll probably cut this.
Why?
Well, okay, so.
You always cut the good stuff.
I know.
I know.
Speaking of cutting, I'm fine with, if you want to go full bush, totally fine with me.
Really?
Up on top.
But I need you to clean other things, you know?
Yep.
It needs to be clean.
It needs to. It can't be unruly down there.
Right.
So that's my thought process.
So that's how I try to do it myself.
But if you feel more comfortable with a landing strip or a Dorito chip
or the United States of America, then great.
Whatever makes you feel right.
But I'm just concerned because there have been times when the guys and I have been talking and being like,
oh, man, oh, God, you should have Dorito chip or whatever.
We're talking about it.
And I wonder because I know girls are more chatty than guys are.
Let's be real.
That they're like, man, I was hooking up with Wells and he has full disco bush and it smells like.
No shot they talk about that.
You don't think so?
Not as much as you'd think.
No shot. Girls talk about
stuff all the time. I know it. We do
but there's so many other things
you could discuss about sex that that's just
kind of not, that's kind of like low on the priority list
unless it's completely out of control.
Okay. Or unhygienic.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's my thing. I'm a big handy wipe guy
because just in case, like if I know if things about to go down, rush to the bathroom, quick
situation.
Yeah.
Clean it up.
Yeah.
Do you guys remember those, what was it called?
They were like handy wipes made for men.
Yeah.
They actually gave them to us my first season of The Bachelorette.
Oh, really?
We got a bunch of them.
And they were literally handy wipes made to wipe yourself down.
Mandy wipes?
Don't you have some of those in your office? Yeah, some company
sent me a bunch. I love it.
There's a new study out saying
that we shouldn't be using toilet paper
that we should be using either
bidets or handy. I don't know who this is. You love to say
there's a new study. It's like Radio
Wells comes out. There's a new study.
Guys, a new study says there's going to be
a dirty asshole if you don't use. Bidets are awesome. Miley has one in her house. I love a bidet. There's a new study. Guys, a new study says there's going to be a dirty asshole if you don't
use... Bidet's are awesome. Miley has one
in her house. I love a bidet.
Honestly, there's two theories I have
to this. I'm going to say something I
haven't said publicly before. I love it.
One is I don't
wipe. You don't at all? I shower
after every poop. There's no way.
My brother does the exact same thing. What do you mean?
Even if it's a five second shower,
it's a shower that I rinse.
But wait,
what if you have to go in there at home?
I mean,
I guess like random emergencies,
but I'm pretty routine.
Random emergencies.
Like routine.
Like wake up,
work out,
poop.
once a day?
Yeah,
yeah.
Twice.
Right before bed.
Really?
Yeah.
I do that too.
Before bed?
Sometimes.
Yeah.
I never poop before bed.
So like,
I'm very routine.
Now,
if there's an emergency,
obviously like, okay, there's an emergency obviously like
okay there's an exception and i'll figure out what i gotta do yeah but i would prefer to have
a very subtle butthole yeah like one that has not been touched by toilet paper in a long time
do you use loofah on your butt or your hand or in the shower yeah washcloth really yeah
so are you changing that thing out every day? What's happening there? No, every week.
Oh, God.
Oh, my
God. Is that weird?
No, I just don't know
the rules. Every week?
It's soap. So you soap it down
and it doesn't take a lot. Okay, here's the thing.
It doesn't take a lot
to rinse yourself. It's like a bidet
in a sense.
It's not like you're like going in there,
digging out it.
You're good.
Now the consistency is for me,
it's the just like,
I don't want to be using so much paper.
I feel like I'm environmentally friendly.
I'm friendly on myself.
Don't make this into the earth.
All right.
It is though.
This is a personal preference.
And time out.
Here's my,
because I've tried a bunch of different theories. I
cannot use one
of those diaper wipes or whatever you call them.
Oh, you can't? Because they don't clean me. Like a Huggies?
They make me itch afterwards. I get up and then
I've got to sit down again in a while and like clean
myself. It's not fun for me.
I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what's great. I'm going to maybe
give them too much out there. Preparation
H wipes. Alright? There's no way.
And you want to know the secret?
Yeah.
You put it in the refrigerator.
Cool Preparation H wipe on your butt.
Stop it.
That's a potty in your pants, man.
Can we get them as a sponsor?
Wait.
You serious?
You prep for these?
I feel like that's so much work.
That is insane.
I mean, don't be wrong.
No, it's not like a bad.
It's just like a lot of work.
I just have them in the refrigerator.
I keep my eye cream in the fridge.
Exactly.
And so a lot of people use preparation age for their eyes.
That doesn't work.
I've tried it.
Whatever.
It's a thing.
It's not though.
I know.
I'm just saying like my mother does that.
If you want a real fresh, it's like your butthole smoking a menthol cigarette.
It is just beautiful.
Your eyes just roll back in the back of your head.
They really did.
I watched them.
That was weird.
All right.
Another question.
Okay.
This is for both of you guys.
Is a hot dog a sandwich?
Is a hot dog a sandwich?
No.
It's not?
Is a cheeseburger or a hamburger a sandwich?
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
The bread is separated on a cheeseburger. A hot dog is not a sandwich. It's one no is it cheeseburger or hamburger a sandwich yes yes okay the bread is separated yeah a hot dog is not a sandwich one piece of bread yep is a pop tart a ravioli no
kind of though right a little bit it's like a dessert ravioli yeah you know i don't know pop
tart yeah you guys seen wild wild country no it's not yeah i have you have um i've saw those first
two episodes they rock and roll because obviously, I completely believe in Jesus, like 100%.
But religion and cults in themselves intrigue me
because I think it's so easy for the humans to follow something.
And it's so odd for me when humans follow things
I don't feel are completely accurate,
which obviously, you could argue with me like,
okay, there's a thousand things in Christianity that seems weird. Totally. We could go on that, that,
but like, I get that when it comes to people believing something and following something
that, that whole idea just intrigues me. So wild, wild country just catches my mind.
Okay. So you had, yeah, so it's a Netflix show. It's taking place in like the seventies and it's
basically predicated around a guru from India who garnered a little bit of a following.
Some backstory on him.
He was a hypnotist before he became this guru.
That's kind of scary.
I know.
He gets this kind of following in India.
They end up getting a bunch of money from donations and whatnot, and they buy this giant piece of land in Oregon, and they set up this straight-up huge commune in Oregon,
and they have thousands of people that migrate there
to study underneath this guru.
And then it kind of takes a turn
because there's this weird secretary that's involved
that's doing some shady stuff,
and there's poisonings happening.
It's great. Is this a documentary? Yes. It's a fan. shady stuff and there's poisonings happening. It's great.
Is this a documentary?
Yes.
It's a fan.
I can't watch this.
Freaking.
It's not scary.
It's scary.
It didn't scare me.
It was just really interesting.
There's nothing scary about it.
That stuff freaks me out.
There's really nothing
scary about it.
Really?
I'll tell you something.
That is scary.
Have you guys seen
A Quiet Place?
No, I can't watch that.
Why can't you watch it?
It's scary.
I'm not a scary guy. But it's not.? It's scary. I'm not a scary guy.
But it's not.
Okay, hold on.
I'm not either.
I hate horror movies.
You do?
My three fears are spiders.
Well, my two fears.
Spiders and ghosts.
Ghosts?
Really?
You think they're real?
Yeah, and I don't fuck with that shit.
No, thank you, sir.
I got a ghost story.
See, I don't want to hear it.
Do you think they're real?
100%.
Really? They're 100% real. That's. I got a ghost story. Do you think they're real? 100%. Really?
They're 100% real.
That's why it's a real fear.
Like demonic ghosts or just ghosts?
I believe fully that there is a spiritual world that we don't see
that is combating each other.
But is that a ghost?
Yes.
And my dad, who would literally – my dad is a lot of things.
My dad is – Happy happy birthday by the way
we're celebrating this saturday at the y2k national event there's a drop for you the right
and he uh used to open up hotels for um signature inn which is an old hotel line and he opened up a
hotel on a old indian burial site oh god and he was there before the hotel opened with one
other person he was staying there kind of helping prep for it and he swears and my dad is not a liar
i promise he's not an over-exaggerator he's not even dramatic and he said that there was one night
that he was walking up the stairs and it was right in the middle of the lobby and this white cloud
came through the lobby wiped him and knocked him on his feet and it was freezing cold
and knocked him to his ground on the stairs and went through the hotel and out that is terrifying
he said he guarantees like i mean it was it was there was no explanation for other than the fact
that it was some type of like spiritual like awakening or ghost and so i i 100 believe in
ghosts i think there's way too many people that have seen ghosts, claimed to see ghosts, and have been affected by ghosts.
My grandma, Higgins, used to claim when she was sick
that the angels or ghosts were at the end of her bed
wishing her the best.
That's nice.
I have no...
Very nice ghosts.
I want those ghosts.
Yeah, so anyways, I'll shut up,
but I do believe in ghosts, 100%.
All right.
Do you believe in aliens?
Yeah. I mean, I have to. I just think up But I do believe in ghosts 100% Alright Do you believe in aliens? Yeah
I mean I have to
I just think there's way too much out there
You have to?
I have to
Yeah
How can you
I mean there's way too much out there
For us to say
Like
Really?
The odds are a lot more for me
Than against me by saying there's aliens
Do you think?
Yeah
You don't believe in aliens?
I don't know
Oh man
I went down like a real deep wormhole
of alien beliefs.
I just feel like
at this point in time,
surely to God,
some aliens would have
come here.
We would have found them there.
I think they have.
I think our government is...
No.
Not a government conspiracy.
Yes.
No.
I don't see the Bushes
hiding this very well.
Think about like barbara bush
there's aliens well so it's either gerald ford or jimmy carter was one of those guys was like
yeah there's totally aliens also the last prime minister of canada admitted that there are aliens
and i think it was gorbachev was like yeah there's totally aliens yeah but saying there's totally
aliens and like are you serious? I haven't heard this.
I'm telling you, I went through like a really
deep rabbit hole
of alien documentaries on
Netflix. Also, the reason why the president
doesn't get briefed on like Area
51 and that kind of stuff,
because the presidency only lasts for
four or eight years. There's no real
need to tell someone like that
that's going to be out of the position in less than a decade.
The people that know about it are like heads of CIA that are there forever.
Like who would know about it?
Do you know?
Can I get the case out?
Yeah.
Get the food out,
dude.
This intrigues me.
You guys are touching on a couple of subjects.
Hygiene.
Um,
this is what our pot.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Actually,
I've been on your podcast.
You guys,
it's like, it's like very serious and you go like it is callers call in and it's a lot it's this whole
thing really easily on this podcast yeah i uh it's just uh i am i am very interested in in these
topics because they they're what consumes me most of my days i mean i've always i've said this
publicly a lot i've had this death complex complex where I struggle with what's next.
Not because I don't believe in what's next, but because I believe there's so much out there that like to think about the fact that one day like people will exist in nothingness like drives me crazy.
Do you think that's going to happen?
I don't because of my belief system, but I also have to understand that like I have to keep my mind open to whatever is a possibility.
I mean, I believe fully in Jesus, but I believe that even people that believe in Jesus have questions on what's next.
And so the fact that there could be aliens or there is aliens or whatever, like this is where my mind goes.
I'd say at least 25 percent of my days.
You think reincarnation?
That's a big chunk of your day.
That's a huge part of my day.
It stresses me out.
It's after my workouts typically.
What about reincarnation? I don't know if I believe in reincarnation. That's a huge part of my day. It stresses me out. It's after my workouts typically. What about reincarnation?
I don't know if I believe in reincarnation.
I don't either.
Do you want to know what I think?
I would love to know what you think, Wells.
Thanks for the delayed response, ass face.
I'm eating queso.
I was just shutting up because I really want to hear what you think.
You also want queso.
Yeah.
This is going to be like the grossest podcast to listen to because we're going to be eating queso whilst doing it.
Let's hear it, Wells.
What do you think?
I think that we haven't really figured out time and space.
We have to live in those two constructs because of our physical being, right?
So the way that we perceive time right now is super linear because we are stuck in the shell of a human.
I think that when we die,
we are no longer bound by those limitations.
Because if you study any astrophysics
or any of that kind of stuff,
there's a fourth dimension and all that kind of stuff.
When we are no longer bound by that,
I think that we're going to be able
to encounter time much differently.
And I think that that's why ghosts
can come in and out of our world because they're no
longer tied down to this weird construct of time.
This makes a lot of sense.
Why would death be the entryway?
Well, because it's going to have something to do with our spirit and our spirit's going
to be able to travel at maybe a much faster rate or instantaneously.
To me, it's going to have something to do with that.
I also feel like, too, when our soul leaves our body, in a sense,
maybe once you ditch your crappy human body,
then you're not constrained by time and all the space.
That's what I mean.
Yeah.
That's what I mean by it.
I think that's also maybe what the afterlife is going to going to be, honestly, what I think heaven is,
is an understanding of everything.
This whole, like, clouds in the sky and, like, sitting,
getting to meet God and all that kind of stuff.
The Simpsons killed us on that.
Yeah, that's not, that cannot be the case.
Yeah.
The Simpsons made that a reality.
I think that, like, meeting God, I think, is going to be.
Well, you know, there's no clouds.
Heaven comes down to earth, so.
Maybe so. But that's what that's, I don't know.
But I'm just saying like, I, I wonder if, I wonder if meeting God really is just like understanding everything.
Like you, all of a sudden you get to be given all the information of all the stuff you just
didn't understand beforehand.
Think?
I don't know.
I hope not.
Cause when I get to heaven, like I don't want to be thinking about all this stuff I didn't
understand.
You know what I'm saying?
But I think it'll be instantaneous.
Like, boom, this is why everything is the way it is.
I just want to ride unicorns.
Progressive Christians would believe that.
This got heavy.
I kind of like it.
Manescaping aliens and religion.
Brought to you by your favorite thing podcast.
Dude, can I just...
We haven't even done a favorite thing.
Can I tell you my new favorite thing?
Yeah.
Real quick?
I would love to hear it.
Get your bell out.
Oh, listen. I'm on, like, 2% over here, but I'll you my new favorite thing? Yeah. Real quick. I would love to hear it. Get your bell out.
Oh, listen.
I'm on like 2% over here, but I'll do my best.
All right.
What am I at?
I'm living on the edge, too.
I'm at seven.
Living on the edge.
Apparently, all of us have been on our phones too much today.
I know.
What's your favorite thing?
Rollerblading.
You said this last time, I feel like.
No.
I just got rollerblades.
Listen, Cleveland's been up this whole game, Ben.
Don't go celebrating quite yet.
We talked about rollerblading.
I think this was your favorite thing last week, but I'll let you have it.
No.
Yeah.
I said I wanted to do it, and I went and got them.
Oh, that's what it is.
I love rollerblading.
And now I've been blading.
And it's the most fun. He's been blading.
You hear that?
I've been blading.
And now I'm like looking like new bearings and different wheels and grind plates.
I'm getting into it.
Do you and Sarah blade together?
No.
I've been trying to say-
I think that'd be a cute date.
I was like, do this with me, and she was like, absolutely not.
I will follow my face.
Do you watch you?
She can wear pads.
I feel like it's not a very attractive thing to watch.
It's not.
That's the thing.
She was like, the first time out she was like i want to
facetime with you and you're doing this and i was like that's where do you do this at shelby park
okay the park and so she was faced she was facetiming me when i was doing it i was like
all right baby like this is it all right baby if you still love seeing this then it might be
this thing might have legs but if you can't handle me blading.
Oh my God.
Girl, I don't know.
Girl, I don't know.
Girl, I don't know.
Now, for some reason I.
And her response was.
Yeah.
She thinks it's hot, right?
She thinks everything you do.
She thinks everything you do is hot somehow.
Really?
She lucked out there.
I don't know if that's true, but.
I'm just saying, like, you're still in that honeymoon phase.
Maybe so.
You can do no wrong.
That's probably true.
So are you a good rollerblader?
Yeah, I'm good.
I could see that.
I was good when I was a kid.
It's a motorcycle, for crying out loud.
That's true.
But now I'm getting back into it.
It's so much fun.
It's not like it's exercise.
But it is.
Not really.
It's just like leisure, good times.
I look like a douchebag, and that's fine with me.
I feel like it's a good quad workout or something.
Maybe.
But really, it's just like put on some tunes.
Cruise.
Cruise.
Blade.
Blade.
Brink.
Remember that movie?
Brink.
Remember Brink?
Oh, man.
That's a classic.
Was that 90s or 2000s?
I feel like that was probably 2000s.
I think so.
Yeah.
Boys, listen up.
Actually, like 99.9999% of our attendees for this party are female. probably 2000s I think so boys listen up actually like
99.9999%
of our attendees
for this party
are female
but
for the few men
attending
any costume ideas
Brink
yeah
it's a good one
it's not bad
I feel like
you all have
the ability
to do a podcast
which I think
your podcast
is great
because it is
flexible in this
to do a whole podcast
on old Disney movies
and I've wanted to do that podcast for so long.
Really?
Because I grew up with the Disney movies.
I mean, I remember coming home from school and sitting down,
and I was a big chip guy,
which is why I'm sitting here eating chips.
I love chips.
And eat chips and salsa and watch Disney movies was my thing.
What's your favorite Disney movie?
Yeah, let's bring it back to the podcast.
I would say Alley Cat Strike.
Wow. Yeah.
You know what mine is?
What? Robin Hood.
Oodalally, oodalally, golly, what a day.
You remember that one?
Yeah, no. What? I must be too young
for that. Disney movies, like the
monthly one. Like DCOM?
Like Disney Channel original movies? Yeah, Disney Channel
original movies. DCOM movies.
You probably didn't watch them well.
You're probably too old for that.
No, I mean, Brink was one of those.
We're too young to know about whatever you're talking about.
I like Johnny Tsunami.
Oh, great film.
So, my brother's ex-girlfriend is in a crap ton of those.
That's surfing?
Brenda Song.
I think she is.
She was London Tipton on Suite Life of Zack and Cody, but she did a ton of those DCOM movies.
What was yours then?
I don't know.
I can't pick favorites.
I have a hard time with this.
Why am I the host of this podcast?
Shit, your sister worked for the company for how long?
She was probably in one of them, to be honest with you.
Well, I mean, she kind of made the network for a while, too.
Oh, I have an answer then.
Okay.
Geek Charming.
Was that one?
Yeah, Sarah's in that one.
I haven't seen it yet.
She is?
We got to watch it.
We'll watch it.
We're in.
Add it to the list.
Well, you can help explain this
because I've just gotten into,
and my friends and everybody are very proud of me
because we've been working a ton recently on Generous,
and I've found a new way to escape from work,
and it's about 5 o'clock every day.
I've been working until late,
so at 5 o'clock I take a break.
No, I work from home.
But I leave my house and I put my headphones and I go on a walk.
So what's the difference and what's the benefits between a walk and a rollerblade?
No difference.
Okay, no difference.
I don't know if you've ever read anything about this, but there's a common denominator for all geniuses.
Albert Einstein and Picasso, all these guys had one thing in common. It was every single
day they would go and it usually was a walk and it was like silent and they would go or maybe now
we use music, but like, I don't know if Albert Einstein had like a walk at the time. Doubt it.
Probably not. But it was a time for them to go and absorb their thoughts, think things out and
come back and then like
recharge their batteries and i think it is a really good thing i do it all the time because
i run all the time i do too and i'm not saying i'm a genius in any way shape or form will you
grab me one of those ben yeah that's a good man sorry and this house here's here's a i'm so poor
that i can't afford to fix the outlet underneath the TV. So it has to run across the dining room.
Sorry.
Miley.
No.
She's been over here.
She knows it's broken.
Typical Miley.
I think I'll fix it this weekend when I'm staying here.
Yeah, right.
I promise.
You can't fix that.
You can't.
It's electrical.
I used to do electrical stuff.
I'll let you do other things, but probably not that.
Oh, I don't know what that means.
One of my biggest fears.
Let me tell you what it
means no it's nothing it's been i saw the little office you built yourself in your backyard it's
very cute did a good job no the electrical stuff scares me because my biggest fear if it's my house
catching on fire i don't know why or where that comes from but it terrifies me let me tell you
what your biggest fear with electrical should be it's getting electrocuted no the house catching
on fire scares me more.
All right.
And this house was built in 1940s
and all the electrical is original
and it's just like sus down here.
All right.
It's all new upstairs
but this down here is suspect.
I asked this question
on my radio show the other day
because it was Victoria Beckham's
birthday yesterday.
It was?
Yeah, 43 years old.
Shout out, happy birthday.
Yeah.
She's really pretty.
See, she's hot.
Yeah. If you could be a Sp. See, she's hot. Yeah.
If you could be a Spice Girl, what would your Spice Girl name be?
Like one of the five Spice Girls or like a new Spice Girl?
Like a new one.
Like you get to be in the band.
Oh.
Flower power.
It's like Sporty Spice and Scary Spice and Baby Spice.
See, I always identified with Sporty Spice.
I did too.
You did?
I was super attracted to Sporty Spice. Oh, I just like the way she dressed. Well, I think that's the, I mean, with Sporty Spice. I did too. You did? I was super attracted to Sporty Spice.
Oh, I just like the way she dressed.
I mean, you were a woman and I was a man or a boy at the time.
Makes sense.
I don't know.
You guys, can you give me a Spice Girl name maybe?
Someone came back at me with Old Spice and I thought it was kind of funny.
Wow.
That was good.
I'll give it a ding.
Someone else came at me with cilantro spice which i love
because i love cilantro do you i don't know you think it tastes like cilantro why is that the
differentiator well i'm just saying we just we figured out there's this thing where you either
have a gene that makes cilantro taste like soap or not yeah oh no i like it i eat it i just didn't
know if it was like i don't think it's that stand out i'm more of a like a garlic guy i mean they're not mutually exclusive you could like cilantro and garlic
i feel like i feel like typically something you eat cilantro on you wouldn't put garlic on but
maybe i'm wrong i don't know i don't know i thought that was nice think of what it was like
to be a spice girl i mean one of the originals living the life living the life like you're known
to be unique and different in your own way.
And you're defined by something.
Like, okay, I'm sporty.
I'm, what was the other one?
Baby.
Baby.
Ginger spice.
Posh.
Like, what if somebody looked at me and been like, so, I mean, I've always been known to be bland.
What if I was bland spice?
What do you mean?
And I owned it.
That's a good one.
Yeah.
Like, I was a bland man spice.
And people were like oh yeah he's
so normal like that'd be cool can we reverse for a second who says that you're bland snl did a whole
skit on me for like three weeks i'm being bland no that means you like yeah but here's you've made
it when snl does a sketch about you oh yeah that's huge you've made
it but here's the thing ben you were considered like the the boring bachelor but you're also
i mean that was like the talk he couldn't he wasn't more boring than ari no well that was
before i'm just saying like i'm just saying it was so i'm just saying like what was said but
you're also considered the best bachelor ever how do those two like how is said, but you're also considered the best Bachelor ever. How do those two,
like how is those two?
How are you the most boring
That makes no sense to me.
But you're like absolutely loved,
but then everyone thought
that you were
boring.
Boring.
I don't get it.
I think it's
Explain it.
I think it's
grass is always greener.
Oh.
So you like,
during the season,
they're like,
this season sucks,
and then next season,
they're like,
wait,
Ben was actually pretty good.
Exactly.
So I've gotten more popular
as the seasons have gone. Yes. Because everyone else has been more boring than you. This then the next season, they're like, wait, Ben was actually pretty good. Exactly. So I've gotten more popular as the seasons have gone.
Because everyone else has been more boring than you.
This is the George W. Bush.
I root against every bachelor from here on out.
This is the George W. Bush in comparison to Donald Trump situation.
Totally.
Where everyone's like, totally.
George W. Bush.
That's pretty good.
Compare Ben to a politician who loves it.
That makes sense.
So are you saying that people didn't actually like me during the season?
I think they did.
You say that in a way that's...
Let's not be crazy.
As a fan of the show, but also a fan as a person that was involved in it,
but as someone who I think understands the show better than most,
the show really isn't.
You're the star, but you're not really the star.
The star are all the women.
So my season was boring, you're saying.
Because I think that you didn't have a whole lot of
really standout characters
for your ladies.
So seasons pass then from
my time. And I take no offense to this.
So you can say whatever.
My season to now, because you have Nick and Ari.
You say those two seasons are better or worse?
Worse. Worse.
Worse.
I think Ari had really good girls.
I thought they were really,
really fun to watch.
They were okay.
I was really bored during his season.
I was more entertained by Nick's season.
I tell you what,
the way that he ended it,
you're right.
I'm a victim of...
What's most recent.
Yes, and I'm sorry that last episode just blew my mind.
I didn't even really watch it.
See, I have a lot of people coming up to me going,
so I just spoke at Missouri University this week, two days ago.
Mizzou?
Yeah, Mizzou.
And I had a lady come up to me, and this isn't uncommon,
and I don't know how to take this,
but she comes up and she goes,
okay, I get two things.
One is you're in a lot better shape in person.
That's one thing. I don't know how to take that because I don't think they're meaning it to be like, hey, you weren't get two things. One is, you're in a lot better shape in person. That's one thing.
I don't know how to take that
because I don't think they're meaning it
to be like,
hey, you weren't in good shape
during the show,
but it's like,
oh, you're actually more attractive in person.
Yeah.
So we bypass it
and say thank you for the compliment.
Lena does say you're skinnier now.
Yeah, I am skinnier.
She also is trying to make it about me.
You're skinnier than the last time I saw you,
I think.
Yeah.
But also,
camera 10 pounds thing.
Definitely.
That's fucking cool.
The second is, at Mizzou,
I had a lady come up to me and she meant this as the goodness of her heart.
And I know it,
but she goes,
I like you better off the show than on the show.
Yeah.
So I keep thinking to myself,
like,
did people not like me on the show?
Like,
have I had to reinvent this wheel?
Because I think people resent the situation that you've been placed in.
It's a dick situation to be placed in.
What gives you the right to have 30 women fawn over you?
I think people will look at that and being like, what the, what is this?
This is bullshit.
And then they, after the show happens and they're like, this guy, all this guy does
is do charity stuff.
It makes totally, it makes total sense.
But in the moment they're like, I want to hate this guy because he has everything.
Yeah.
Oh, this is a pretty boy that 30 girls want to have sex with?
This is ridiculous.
I think that's –
A lot of haters at the top, Ben.
Yeah.
A lot of haters up here.
One day when I'm 70, I'll say I was at the top during The Bachelor and I had a lot of haters.
A lot of haters and an SNL skit done about me.
That's interesting i mean i think that's like a cool topic though just in general is at what moments
do you feel like you've been you've been hated on and not even like when it comes to like the
public those are always weird moments for me when somebody comes up they're like i liked you better
now or i like you better now than i did before. And like, they've never known me.
Well,
yeah,
but that's always weird.
Cause I don't know what to say.
Like,
thank,
thank you.
Like,
I'm glad we're on a good page now,
but that's the part of being on TV.
People think they know you cause they watch it on TV every week.
That's the appeal of it is you feel like you get to know somebody,
even though you don't know anything about them.
It's very odd.
Yeah.
That's the trick of the show is that it's similar to a podcast.
When people listen to podcasts, they feel like they're a part of the conversation.
Oh, they are, and they know us, okay?
Totally.
The reason why that show is a cultural phenomenon is because everyone gets so invested in it.
Well, and people do funny things when there's a camera on them.
You did the best job of anyone that I've seen on there that I know now, even now of like going on and being yourself,
you did a really good job of that.
But I think that's because you've spent so many years in radio and like,
even though it's not a camera,
it's still putting yourself out there for people.
Um,
but I think for somebody that's never been on camera to like go on there and
feel all this pressure to come off a certain way or not say this and make
sure and say that.
And I don't know.
I think a lot of times people go on there and overthink it and overcompensate and end up being somebody
totally different i was at mizzou and they did say the one of the questions because we did a q a and
they said what's who's uh who's who are some people that you've stayed friends with during
the bachelor franchise i said wells adams is is one of my favorite people in the world outside
of the franchisor and i and i mean that that's not's not to flatter yourself. Thank you. Go ahead and do it.
And I'm not kidding.
You could,
I think there's a couple of things
like a video of it.
The whole crowd erupts.
No.
They love Wells.
I need this video.
I mean,
people love Wells
like so much.
Like I said this
and like they erupted
like,
no.
Honestly,
you would think he was,
I mean,
he's a hero.
You should have been
the frigging bachelor. I mean, it's for your benefit. I'm glad you did it. But it like, if they had been smart, honestly you would think he was i mean he's a hero you should have been the freaking bachelor
he really should have for your benefit i'm glad you did it but it like if they had been smart
you would have been the bachelor yeah you're doing all right but you're doing great but it was it was
funny to see because people like freaked out and i will say that the cool part of your podcast is
you do let people get to know each other like each of you like without any like hidden like walls or
like you're not you're not too toned down i feel like we've done a lot and i know that you guys
want to watch i just want to eat real quick real real real real quick guys can we also talk about
restaurants not taking off the tail of shrimp what's that about you tweeted i know and it
it really annoys me can i add something Yeah, I've talked for like 10 minutes.
Brandy has, if you're hearing this right now,
she has done an incredible job at planning an event
for Humanity and Hope United and Generous.
And yes, it is.
It has been stressful.
I think this has been good for the organization
and also her personally
to see how much work goes in behind an event planning and it is tough and it is hard but she
is she's gonna put on an event that will raise a ton of money and she's seen it firsthand of what
this will actually be able to do so i think that helps because if she hadn't had seen this yet
it would be easy to give up but instead you're you're like, all right, let's keep going. But to anybody out there that's event planning,
trying to run an event, just good luck.
Not only good luck, but I have so much respect for event planners.
That's right.
I was telling you before, no good deed goes unpunished.
I know.
We talked about this.
All that work, it's just pain in the ass.
You're a good person.
You're good people.
Yeah, you're good people.
Last question, Ben, You going to Paradise?
Oh my god. Not a chance.
I apologize.
Unless it's beside you.
Wells is going, I want that job.
If anyone gets that job,
it better be me.
Let's just hope I get it again.
You are.
Did you not hear about the riot of when he said
your name and the whole crowd freaked out
You're going to paradise
Yeah whatever
Also
They hope Sarah comes
Yeah
Alright
Let's eat some tacos
Yes thank you
Hey
Thanks guys
Ben thanks for being on the podcast
Ben thanks for
Thanks for being our
We actually stopped doing guests
We did
Because we realized
That we were just
We are more entertaining
with nobody in the room.
We are.
And you're the first guest we've had in like six episodes.
Yeah, it's been a while.
It's been a while.
Well, I'm glad to be here.
Really, I am.
We appreciate you being here.
Hey, thanks guys.
Love you guys.
Bye.
We have a new sponsor.
Whoop, whoop, whoop.
Yes.
I'm actually pumped about this sponsor.
I am too. Not because I
would ever use this. Why not?
Maybe it would help you grow some facial hair.
Do you think?
That's funny. It probably won't though. You're the last
cause. I will say though that these are good. They
taste good. That's what I'm saying. Gummy bears are my
favorite food of all time.
We're talking about sugar bear hair vitamins.
The fact that you can
eat a gummy bear and there's vitamins in it and it's going to make your hair grow and be healthy, that's the best thing ever.
Yeah.
And like, here's pros for it.
If it works and your hair grows, hell yeah.
Great.
And if it doesn't, it's a yummy snack.
It's a great gummy bear.
You're right.
And there's some practical things about it that I really, really like.
It's vegetarian.
Huge plus. It's vegetarian. Huge plus.
It's gluten-free.
I'm not a gluten-free person, but when I can eat gluten-free things, I feel better about
myself, you know?
Yeah.
So it's great.
And then my favorite thing is that it's cruelty-free.
Yeah.
So we're all about animal love with the sugar bear hair vitamins.
I wonder if animals like them.
I'm going to say it's probably not wise to give to Carl.
Why?
I don't think you should. I want Carl
to have a luxurious coat like a golden
retriever now. I'm going to go ahead and
protect the brand here and say that it's probably
not approved for animal consumption. I will not do it.
I wouldn't give it to Carl, but I enjoy
eating them. I've been taking them for the
past few weeks now that I've had it.
It's really great because they
are doing a special three month
and six month on sale
thing. If you want to go online and buy a package deal, you get a cute hairbrush and you get a cute
bear pouch. I don't know, like call me crazy, but I just love long hair. I just think long hair is
always the way. Healthy hair is what's attractive to guys, right? Okay. Like healthy, full, beautiful
hair. I just think, and like, I'll get slaughtered for this because it's like sexist or whatever,
but I really do like, I just feel like girls with long hair, like guys like that.
Yeah, totally.
It's feminine, it's girly, it's whatever.
I was not blessed with great hair.
I have my mother's fine, thin hair.
It's very fragile, so I've always been a big fan of taking vitamins that will help counteract that.
So I'm really pumped about the Sugar Bear Hair vitamins because they're yummy and it's like candy.
But they're good for me.
All right.
Get yourself some Sugar Bear Hair at sugarbearhair.com slash Amazon.
Do it.
Delicious.
