Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Big Mama's House vs. The Hamptons (ft. Deetha's Nuts)

Episode Date: June 24, 2026

Welcome to Big Mama's house! Buckle up because it's been a week for Brandi (aka Deetha)... She ran over her phone with her truck, survived a green card interview on zero sleep and four sips of coffee (she didn't study but she's a straight A student), and spent two terrifying days thinking it might be the end for her beloved dog Happy. Spoiler: he's okay! Meanwhile, Wells has discovered the Hamptons and will not shut up about it. He is now using summer as a verb, playing golf at elite courses, eating lobster rolls, and making best friends with a guy named James Bond at Shinnecock. This all sounds made up, right? Well, it's not.FAVORITE THINGS:I Will Find You (Netflix show)Voicemails to Isabelle (Netflix movie)The Hamptons (Wells' main ding)Lune restaurant in North Chatham, Cape CodThe Bridge golf course in the HamptonsThe World Cup / US men's soccer team (when did we get good??)Thanks for tuning in, YFTers.

This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. Hello. Hello. Hi. How's it going? Oh, man. I've had a week. So have I.

Have you? Yeah. What's going on with you? Well, can we start, I have an inquiry. Do I need to start calling you Big Mama for this episode? Okay, so just for everyone out there so they know. That is what it says. Yeah.

We use a company called Riverside to record our podcast. right? Riverside has recently done an update where you can put what your name is for it, you know? So I think last week I think I put in Wells Adams and that's no longer fun. So today I put in Big Mama's house. Okay. But you went with BC? Yeah, that's my initials. All right.

That's kind of cool, I guess. I didn't know we were doing like a thing where we picked funny names. Now I know. Okay. So every week, ding, ding, new favorite thing. you have to come up with a funny name. Yes. I'm not good at being funny, but I'll do my best.

I don't know. You have your moments. I mean, yeah. Here, we can, hold on. Can you change it when you're in here? Oh, I can see it changing. Ditha. We'll start with that.

I do like Ditha. Do you? I hate it. I know you do. What's up? Why are you been so busy? Oh, my God. It has just been a week.

Tell me everything. I don't even know. to start. What is today? Sunday. First of all, it started with, I got home. Was I in Los Angeles? Last weekend? Yeah. I saw you. Yes. I got home from L.A. Pretty late. You know, after the time change and all of it. By the time we fucking get home, it's always late. Unloaded the car, jumped back in the car, went to see my horse, went to see our new house, got back home, and could not find my fucking phone. Guess where it was? In your saddle bag. smashed to pieces in the driveway because I set it on top of the truck bed to pull out my luggage,

left it there, drove off, ran over it when I came home. And so for a full day and a half, I did not have a phone, which was kind of nice, but also very stressful, especially like on a weekday when people are trying to email me and make things happen and need answers. And I had no phone. So that's how the week started. That was Monday. So Monday all day, I was like running around trying to get a phone. Tuesday at the bright hour of six in the morning, we went downtown to have our green card interview. Oh my God.

For Matt to stay here. Well, hold on. Tell me everything. Because I have friends who have done this before and you have to like study each other so you don't get screwed up. Yes and no. Here's the thing though. Like for me, I just want to tell the truth because it's not like I'm studying for them. I don't know.

To me, like, the whole studying thing is like trying to make sure you don't get caught in a lie or something. And like, I have nothing to lie about. So for me, I was like, I don't really need to study. The only thing was, I think we talked, did we talk about this? His like place of birth. I was getting it confused with like Southampton. And it's not that. Port Elizabeth, right?

No. Southport. Southport. Yeah. I was close. Southport. So that was like, that was the only thing that like when we were talking about things we should know about each other. I was like, oh, fuck, I don't know that.

But, yeah, I didn't really study. We did have to go over dates because Matt couldn't remember the dates. Typical man doesn't know. So like we studied the dates for him, but I didn't need to study. I was a straight day student in school. Like, are we surprised I didn't need to study now? Yeah. So 6 a.m.

I don't function that early in the morning. I'm pretty transparent about like I'm just not a morning person. I like to get up at 8.30. That's what time I get up. I have to have eight hours of sleep minimum. I have to have coffee before I can function. You know, like mornings are tough for me. We had to leave at six.

We had like the first appointment of the day. So like I got down there, had it to go coffee, wasn't allowed to take it in. So I'd had like about four sips of coffee, you know, and was so tired, didn't sleep eight hours. And so you're expected to be like firing on all cylinders, but it's seven in the morning. These appointments like are, you know, I think you have like one hour windows of when you're scheduled. We waited an hour and a half in the waiting room. So at this point, I'm just like tired slash like now I'm freaked that it's taking so long, you know. And yeah, it just was, the morning was rough.

Anyway, all that to say, we did it and it was fine. She literally asked me like two questions. And I didn't need to study. I'll say that. Like, it was fine. But we did that. Any tough question? Because I, my buddy who got married to a Canadian, they had to do this.

And I remember he was like, we need to remember like, what side of the bed do you sleep? They didn't ask us any of that. No? No. That's not fun. So what do they ask you? Just let me know what they? I don't think they asked Matt either.

They literally asked me like. Oh, they separate you. They separated us, which so many people were like, that won't happen to you guys. Like that you guys won't get separated. We got separated right off the bat. And they took me first, which was scary. But also, like I said, I have nothing to lie about. I'm a straight day student.

So I wasn't like whatever. But yeah, she literally was like, where and how did you meet? I told her the cute Hank story about the coffee shop. Like, who doesn't love that? Then she asked when we like officially started dating. And I said, well, we went on our first real date, August 5th, and never dated anybody else. after that, so I would say August 5th. And then she did ask me where Matt was living when we met.

And I said Australia. And that was it. He was in the States, though. Yeah, but not living. He was living in Australia. That's what she wanted to know, which did seem like the most important question. Where like, if I did have something to lie about, that would have been where she caught me. But I didn't because Matt was living in Australia.

Listen, I'm glad you guys are doing all of this. But it does seem a little ridiculous because the world knows that your relationship with Matt isn't fake. you know. I'm like, talk to my therapist if you're worried about it. Like, he'll tell you. There's a part of me that wants to be like, hold on,

just go on their Instagram. I can tell you if these people are meant to be together just by their Instagram account, you know? If this is a fake marriage for, like, get someone a green card,

you're going to be able to tell on Instagram because you're not going to have any pictures of them. True. Well, they're not worried because we, it was all fine.

They were like, oh. Do they stamp something that says, I didn't get a stamp. It's just like pass on to the next level or whatever, you know. But yeah, like I guess that that part of piece of it was just them like acknowledging that your relationship is legitimate, which they did. So great.

Can I ask you something? Sure. So obviously Matt is doing this to have American citizenship or whatever. Well, just to have a, yeah, be able to live here and work here. Yeah. Okay. If I were you, I'd be like, okay, fine. We'll do all this.

But I want the same thing in Australia. It's way easier. Is it? For me. oh, it's super, way easy. I think I just automatically get it because we're married. Like, the U.S. makes it so hard. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Donald Trump does not want Matt to become a citizen. I have to tell you, like, the fucking place we were at, they have these screens on the wall. And in my 6 a.m. not caffeinated enough days, like, I was just, like, staring at these fucking screens that just have the most ridiculous slogans on them I've ever seen. Like, it was the most Trumpy thing. And, of course, they've got Trump's fucking portrait on the wall,

which is weird. Yeah. And he looks ridiculous because he looks ridiculous. Like it was just crazy. Well, listen, I'm happy that you guys did this. I'm glad that it went well. But I would say I would really push for, I want an Australian passport too.

Yeah, I'm getting one. Don't you worry. You have to get one. I'm getting the passport. I'm getting the health insurance. I'm getting it all. From what I've understood, uh,

Australia too is that you, unless you're a citizen of Australia, you can't go work there unless you can do a job. that like no one in Australia can do. Yeah, which is why, like anytime I, you know, I, well, I was supposed to DJ there last year and didn't end up going, but they had to get me a work visa for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, you have a job that like, you could say like, well, I'm the best DJ.

So what are you talking about? You know, whatever. I mean, I am. You are. Thank you. DJ Ditha? DJ Deth. Death.

Yeah. Deaths. Death nuts. Yep. Yay. All right, guys. Summer is. one of my favorite times of the year, but it also can be full of chaos between travel, family

activities, work commitments, and trying to enjoy the longer days. It can feel like there's no time to truly unwind. The one thing that's helped me keep up with all of it is getting better sleep. That's what I love my Lisa mattress. This mattress has become my sanctuary at the end of every long busy day. There is nothing more important than sleep. I'm telling you guys, take it from me.

As I've gotten older, I have realized that I really enjoy a white wine. I'm a big, yeah, I know.

I think when you're younger, you think it's cool to, like, drink red wine with, like, steak and stuff. But, like, there is nothing more refreshing than a sauvignon blanc or a nice pino grigio. A crisp white wine is just the best. But the problem is I just, like, never really know where to get good wine. I just usually grab something in the store. But then I found First Leaf. And honestly, it just makes the whole thing super easy. They match wines to your taste and send them right to your door.

I'm sure you know by now that I have horrible eyesight. Yes, you can't see. I can't see anything.

I've worn glasses. the literal first grade. Thank goodness I also learned how to put in contacts, but it is just the of utmost importance that I have some sort of glasses or contacts on at all times. I recently discovered Zeni. They're an online eyewear shop. And if you've ever gotten glasses, you know that it's kind of an ordeal. You got to pick a frame. You got to have a prescription. There's all these different types of lenses and upgrades you can get. Now, you know, having blue light lenses is all the rage, which I will say I have had before. And it does. make a huge difference.

But it can be overwhelming. Zeni makes it so easy. No appointment. You don't have to go to the store. There's no upsell on price. Even for someone like Matt that has perfect vision, he's really been wanting a pair of just blue light glasses. And Zeni offers that as well.

They have over 150,000 five star reviews. And if you've never bought glasses online before, Zennie even has a virtual try on. So you can see exactly what the frames look like on your face before you commit. Because we all know that that matters more than anything. If your glasses are overdue for a refresh, now is the time.

What else happened on Tuesday? So when I got home from L.A., the dog sitter had told me that Happy hadn't eaten that morning. And I think she cleaned up some, like, diarrhea in the dog room that morning.

And she had just let me know, like, I don't know which one of the little dogs it is, but one of the little dogs had a little accent. Happy didn't eat his breakfast, blah, blah, blah. So I made him a vet appointment. Happy's older. He's got CKD. He's had a bit of a health history. You know, he had the really bad pancreatitis episode, like, what, six months ago? So I'm just always like super worried about him.

So I booked him a vet appointment, came home from the interview and took happy to the vet. And even though like he wasn't eating and that concerns me a bit, like it's not like it was one day, you know? And he didn't really have any other crazy symptoms. Like he was acting a bit strange, but he wasn't shaking or anything like he was when he had the pancreatitis episode. So I just took him to our vet thinking like, let's just go check and just make sure he's fine. And we took him in and his fucking heart rate was through the roof. It was 190 and they checked some levels but said he needs to go to the emergency room. They were like, we can't treat him here like you need to go to the ER.

Took Happy to the fucking ER and he was having another episode of pancreatitis. Because he has KD, which is chronic kidney disease, his kidney levels were like horribly low, like way like way worse than normal because like the illness just the kidneys just can't keep up. Long story short, poor fucking happy, had to spend the night in the ER. He was there a little over 24 hours. It was so stressful. Once I got him to the ER, like we dropped him off after we did all the things, went to have lunch, came back and he was just so depressed. He wasn't eating. I've never seen him look so fucking sad. It was breaking my heart. It was absolutely horrible. But he needed fluids around the clock. They were like, he has to stay here. So I was like, fuck. So we came back and forth, saw him a few times, left him overnight, which was absolutely devastating. Came back the next morning. And like, he wasn't even excited to see me. It was so sad. Like normally, like, and I would be like, happy. And you'd be so pumped to see me. And he just, like, wouldn't even get out of bed.

Like, it was terrible. And they said he wasn't eating and all these things. And so I ended up making the call, like, later that day. They wanted to keep him another day. And I decided to bring him home because I was like, A, if this is the end, I want him to be at home. And also, I was like, I just have a feeling that his, he's going to eat better at home. And that was, like, the big thing.

They were like, we can do all these fluids. but if he doesn't eat, like, there's not, he's not going to get better. So I ended up bringing him home. He did start eating. I've been giving him fluids at home as well. And we've had a follow-up check yesterday at our vet. He's doing much better.

But for two days, I was thinking it was Happy's last days. Whoa. It was really, really terrible. That's Miley's dog, but really now you're a dog? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

We co-parent. I just do most of the parenting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm glad that happy's okay. I do like happy. That's actually one of the dogs of yours that I really do appreciate. He's the best little boy.

Actually, I like Astra. I loved feather. I loved feds too. They're all great. Yeah, that was a good dog. No, Matt's dog's annoying. Rain is annoying. She's sweet, though.

By the way, she just came in the shot. Just to cry for a second. She's whiny. So yeah, yeah, yikes. And even though he's, He's doing better. Like, he's 13. He has chronic kidney disease.

Like, you know, I'm not stupid. Like, I know, like, he's near the end of his days for sure. And so, you know, I had, like, very realistic chats with the vets about, like, how long do we have left? And, you know, I think we're all hoping if he doesn't get another illness, like, a year. It's been a stressful week. Yeah, I got it. Stressful. Speaking of kidney, my wife has had two kidney transplants.

Yeah. I have been so blessed to live a healthy life. life, but I know so much now about kidney transplants and pro-graph numbers and, you know, the medication you got to take. So I'm out here in the Southamptons. Must be nice. We're at the U.S. Open. And this woman came up to me and she goes, hey, I am a huge fan.

Could we take a picture? My husband loves you. I was like, okay. Wow. Her husband's got to be 65 years old. His name was James Bond. Jim Bond. He was like, oh, my, like, I love Bachelor in Paradise.

And I was like, you know what? I love that you're admitting it. Because normally, you're like, my wife makes me watch it. And I'm like, oh, really? Your wife makes you watch a show with a bunch of hot chicks and bikinis. Okay. He's like, I love it so much. But then he was like, I just wanted to say, you know, I had a kitty transplant

a couple years ago. I had to know your wife did. Wow. And then I sat there with James Bond, Jim Bond. And we talked about kidney transplant stuff and numbers and medication for like 25 minutes. It was a weird thing of like, oh my God, this is, he was just like, I know that your wife did dialysis. I wouldn't do that. I was so scared of dialysis.

And luckily I got a kidney before that happened. And like, I can't believe how strong she is that she went and did that. And I was like, she was filming season like nine of modern family during that, which is wild. Anyways, I don't think that like we realize that like our lives affect other people until you like come into contact with them. And then like today I was like what a great back and forth with these people. Yeah. About something that's like really tough, right? Like this kidney thing with Sarah is not easy.

And I don't know. I really enjoy the interaction. That's awesome. I also really enjoy. Yeah. And also I want to go play his golf course. And then he's going to come play my golf. We're best friends now.

Love that. Right? Yeah. You want to start a show. Oh, yep. Me are you? I think it's you. Bros and Hose, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with...

Wells and Brandy. Thank you. My fucking hip still hurts of it in case anybody's wondering. I want to be honest with the YFT years out there. Okay. I don't have a lot to give today. Okay? Because I've been traveling.

I've been doing a lot of things. Oh, yeah? Busy with the U.S. Open. But I do have favorite things in terms of where I've been. Oh, well, I have a favorite thing. Okay, do you want to start? Yeah. Okay, go.

There's a new Netflix show that this is the show. Did you watch the one about the mom? No, I just don't know if I can. You know what's funny is I explained it to people on this trip. Uh-huh. I were like, I don't know if I can watch that. See, I don't think I can watch that. I know.

When I explain it, it's like, mm, that's not for me. No, that's how I feel. But this show that I just binge watched, finished, I'm done. Tell me about it. Was absolutely for me. It's called I Will Find You on Netflix.

It stars- That sounds like a Colleen Hoover book if I've ever heard one. Harlan Cobin book. Do you know who that is? Similar. He must have a massive Netflix deal because I've seen a gazillion shows

that are like, Harlan Cobin's new. And honestly, most of them I haven't liked. Like, most of them are cheesy. Some of them are overdubbed. A lot of them are British actors. Like, I don't know. Like, I've never watched a Harlan Coben show that I've thought was good.

However, this one, stars none other than Sam Worthington, who is one of my favorite actors. Very handsome. Love him. Also, Milo Ventimiglia, isn't it? Oh, we love Milo. So we've got some... From This Is Us, right? From This Is Us?

Well, come on. From Gilmore Girls. Are you fucking kidding me? Oh, yes. What was his name in Gilmore? us. But wasn't he in this is us? Yes, but he is known from Gilmore Girls. Yeah, but what was his name in Gilmore Girls? He was the bad boy.

He was a bad boy. Why am I blinking on his name right now? I don't know. I just remember he smoked cigarettes. He did, yes. You were either like, Dean was like the goody, the preppy boy. Yeah. And fuck, I can't remember his name on Gilmore Girls, which is insane. Milo Vint Bintmiglia is in it. So you got some massive star power there. I feel like you're going to know some of the other actors too. Do you want to read the little synopsis?

What's it called? I will find you. Oh, this does look good. This looks like It's so good. Mayor of East Town type of thing. It's great. A father in prison for his son's murder

receives evidence suggesting his child may be alive, compelling him to escape and uncover the truth. Harlan Corbyn's, I will find you. Sam Worthington. Oh, Britt Lauer, she's the girl that's in that Apple TV show, Severance. Oh, I've still not seen that. You haven't seen Severance? No.

Matt and I should watch that. Oh my God. You would love it. Madeline Stowe. Madeline, Madeline, I don't know I say her name. She's in it. I haven't seen her in anything in so fucking long. She was in a show that I was obsessed with called Revenge. Did you ever watch Revenge?

No. Oh, Emily Van Camp, so fucking good. And she plays the like evil mom in that show. So I loved seeing her on the screen again because I loved her character in revenge. And then Clancy Brown, you know him, the old guy. Yeah. Yeah, he's been in a million things. He's in it too.

This is so good. So, like, it sounds a little cheeseball at first. Like, when I first read the fucking synopsis, I was like, I don't know. Why would Sam Worthington agree to do this? This doesn't sound great. But I did love it. What I thought was funny is this is about a guy. What's not, it's not real, like, escaping prison is like a blip of this show.

Like it's, but at first I was like, okay, prison break. And they even gave him the same last name. Like, Dom's name in prison break was Lincoln Burroughs. And this guy's last name is Burroughs in this show. I'm like, you guys could have gotten just a bit more creative with that. Okay. So that was interesting, but basically essentially like the setup is this guy, Sam We're the Tins character, he goes away for life in jail for murdering his own son, which is just fucking insane, like that a guy would murder his son, like brutally murder. There are pieces of this

that are just so unbelievable, but you kind of have to just get past it because the show is still really good. But like, I'm sorry. In no world is everyone in your life going to just like, even though you're saying you're innocent going to be like, yeah, you brutally murdered your son. Like I feel like in the real world there would be people that would be like, okay, there's no way you did this, you know? Yeah. But of course they set it up like, everyone thinks

he's guilty. And like, yes, the evidence points there, but still, like in real life, I'm sorry, if someone only Matt brutally murdered one of our dogs, I'd be like no chance, you know? Yeah. So I thought like that was like a little bit unbelievable, but whatever, you get past it's all episode one. It's really great. Lots of twist

and turns. Like every time, they do a great every time you think you're finding out something about someone that matters in the storyline, then it ends up being completely something different. Don't ruin it for me because I'm not going to ruin. I'm not going to ruin it. Logger Twist and turns. And it's like in a good way, a lot of things to keep up with. Like it's almost overwhelming because it's like so many people are connected and there's so many characters in this story and there's so many things and like things you have to remember when you hear about another connection. And it's a lot.

But I think it's good because it keeps your mom. mind like trying to figure those things out instead of predicting what's really going to happen, you know? So I loved this. I ding, ding, ding, A plus. Love it, must watch, binge it in a day and a half. Jess, that's right. Gilmore Girls. That was his name, Jess. Great name, Jess. Yeah. Great cast, Sam Morgington, Britt Lauer, Jonathan Tucker, he's been in a million things. Milo has been in a lot of things. Yeah, this looks so good. Yeah, it's really good. It was like the show I've been waiting for like i just feel like nothing great's been on and i've just been waiting for a great show this was it are you okay so i'm not so don't ruin it for me but are you caught up with widows bay

no you're not no matt hasn't been watching tv and why because he's been busy with the house and so i just i like it's there's a few shows i'm not allowed to watch without him and that's one of them is a good one yeah um all right well i want to watch that so good um some has finally set in. I can no longer leave the house in long pants. It's time to start buying some shorts and some tanks for the summer weather. You guys know the first place I love to shop is Quince.

It's like, so you. A hundred percent. There has never been a more Wells place than the Hamptons. There hasn't. Oh, my God. Okay. I have literally not had a single. bad moment in like two weeks because I've just been here.

So first of all, we've been there two weeks. Not two weeks. No, no, like a week. We flew in on Monday. We flew into Boston on Monday, which by the way, what a fucking city, you know? I haven't spent a lot of time there. You haven't? No.

Got a lot of tea. Ironically, this is that Boston is where the show is set. The show we just talked about. Oh, really? Yep. Well, anyways, Boston's lovely. We fly into Boston and then I was doing this kind of like brand deal with Lexus, which by the way, I mean, I drive a 40-year-old Toyota, so maybe I'm a little biased,

but Toyota is the company that owns Lexus. It is. And they make the best car in the world. And it's like not even close. Just in terms of like if you want to drive a car that goes 500,000 miles, then that's what you get. If you want to get a Porsche that's going to cost you a million dollars and break down every 3,000 miles, then you get that. Anyways. The new Lexus SUV is cool.

Oh yeah. The GX? Yep. I drove every single one. The one that I like is the small one, like the sedan, the four-door sedan. Oh. It's hybrid, but fast as all get out. Anyways, we started it in Boston and we were in the Cape, which I'm going to say something crazy right now.

Maybe. I don't know. The Cape might be better than the Hamptons. No. We were in a place called North Chatham staying at maybe the most lovely hotel I've ever been to in my entire life. The restaurant, the bars, everything were amazing. I went there one morning, got lobster eggs Benedict and watched the sunrise.

Wow. It was beautiful. We ate a dinner at a place called, I think L-U-N-L-U-N. N-E. Okay. We were the only people there. So we went there and it was just the kitchen staff cooking for us. Wow. It was the most like Michelin Star. Let me ask you if you think this is rude.

So at the end of it, it was like one of the better meals I probably had in like three years. Wow. At the end of it, I went up to the chef and I was like, that was amazing. Can I ask the question? They're like, yeah, sure. And I was like, does this have a Michelin Star? And they were like, no, it doesn't. And I was like, that's crazy.

That's crazy to me. Do you think that's offensive that I did that? No. You don't? No. Okay. Why? I mean, well, because they don't have, because they don't have it.

And then I, like, brought up that they don't have a Michel's. But you're saying they should have it. It's a compliment. Yeah. That's where I was coming from. Yeah. This was, and I've been to Michelin Star restaurants that are not as good as the place that that I went that night.

Yeah. Also, we had in our group, two people who were, like, celiac and, like, gluten-free. doing somersaults to accommodate them in amazing ways. That's cool. So anyways, Loon, got to give me a ding on Loon. That place was freaking amazing. And then, so we played a golf course called Catancet. It was great, but 30 mile an hour winds,

and it just kicked the shit out of us. So no one played well, and I didn't love that, but that wasn't because the golf course was bad. It was just because the wind was crazy. And then I got on three boats in a car in one day. That's a wild thing to say. That is crazy. I'll tell you what, fairy life?

Very fun. Okay. Okay. Have you ever been to Lake Como? No. Okay. That's a very well's place also. You need to go there.

Let me tell you about fairy life, dude. First of all, you got to get on boat. You got to take your car on boats to then go to a different island. to then get on another boat. So that's what we went and did. I got on three different ferries. They got this thing so well-oiled. Well-oiled machine in, out on, out.

Wi-Fi, a bar. That seems not great because you're driving, but whatever. All these guys were drinking because they were like going to like a golf thing and like just getting hammered on the on the ferry. Went on three different ferries, got to Southamptons. went and played this place called The Bridge, which is a golf course that's on an old race car track. So the whole thing's like car themed, right?

So when you drive in, it's like it's like the big Chevron sign, you know, a checkered sign. There's like a race car inside the clubhouse. Might have been, I played a lot of really good golf courses. Top five. Insane. Wow. So beautiful. So fun. Elite drinks too.

We were, it was so nice that we were like, we got to stay and watch sunset. and have drink. Goodness gracious. This entire episode is going to be my love letter to the Hamptons. The bridge was fantastic. And then, so I went Joey Grazadee.

Okay. We then kind of switched over to going to the U.S. Open, which is like more my golf channel side of things, right? Okay. And then went to a place called Chinacock,

which is in the Hamptons, and everyone is so rich, and it's so nice. everywhere you go. And we've been walking around Shinak this entire week it's been absolutely amazing.

I know that this is like maybe like not relatable at all. It's niche. I digress. No one told me about the Hamptons. Actually, I feel like Jay Gatsby told me about the Hamptons. He did.

I feel like Scott Fitzgerald told me about it but I didn't listen. I didn't listen. Boy, oh boy. have I been wrong about this place? Or not wrong, but like what, this, you're telling me I can have a little cabin out here. All the houses look the fucking same.

They've all got the same little, little tile roofs and shit. Yep. Is Sarah with you? No, she's so upset. I'm sure. So upset. Well, you guys all have to go back.

What's funny is that she's from New York. Yeah. I don't think she's ever been to the Hampton. How? And I'm like, I'm like, Sarah, holy shit. Like you think that where I'm from is beautiful. Hold on. I could see you guys living there.

A hundred percent. I would live here in a heartbeat. If it didn't snow, I guess, in the wintertime, I would. Well, yeah. Anyways, don't sleep on the Cape, everyone out there. But the Hamptons, not for nothing. It might be one of the best places I've ever been to. Yeah, it's great.

I usually DJ and Montauk, which is. just upways. I'm sure it's lovely over there. It's lovely. I actually will be DJing there August 9th if anybody wants to come and you want to come back. I'm in. Any chance to go. Those are all the updates I have for my life.

I love the Hamptons. I love the Cape. Okay, hold on. Let's also talk about some motherfucking lobster rolls, dude. Holy shit. Are they good? I think that lobster is kind of a bullshit food. I think it's like a fake rich people food.

Because here's my thing. You can put butter on anything, and it'll taste good. That's true. You know? But a lobster roll with like a good slaw on there and a nice buttered toasted bun. Chef's kiss? I'm down with lobster. I just don't like to have.

I don't know how, do you know, like if someone just plopped a lobster on your plate, do you know how to eat it? I do, but it's only because I went on worst cooks in America's Celebrity Edition and I won it. And yeah, it's not easy. I don't know how and I don't want to learn. It's like if I'm going to eat lobster, I don't want to have to do that. Yeah, that's not going to be for me. I'm going to stick with like lobster cut rolls from sugarfish.

That's my kind of lobster. What would you rather have? Shrimp, crab, or lobster? Probably really good crab, to be honest. Yeah. I think crab is the elite of the three. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

I will not touch shrimp. They gross me out. Oh, really? Yes. I love a shrimp. Fuck no. But they're all just cockroaches of the sea. I know, they're gross.

I know. So are crawfish, but I love crawfish. I know. Those are cockroaches of the rivers. I know. How do you feel about clams and muscles and oysters? I've never had clams or muscles. What?

I don't like oysters. They're too slimy. Yeah. It's a texture thing for a lot of people. I don't like the slime. You've never had muscles? No. I'm not very adventurous with my food.

Yeah. I know. The fact that I eat sushi is honestly shocking. Let's talk about this because to me it makes no sense. I do love scallops. Okay. That is effectively out of a clam. But also you're going to die at some point.

Don't you want to try all the things? Not really. Like I'm like loving what I've been eating, you know? I don't really feel like I need to add to. I know, but like you've never had it. And it might be the greatest thing ever. Or it could taste slimy and disgusting. Yeah, but then you at least have an opinion about it.

Yeah, I don't know. I wonder, like, what astrological sign is, like, not food adventurous, and if you're that thing. Do you think that is an astrological sign? I bet it, I don't know. It's all sounds like bullshit. What are you? You're a Gemini? That's right.

Yeah. Gemini, Taurus moon, Scorpio Rising. Yeah, you're almost a Taurus. Yep, very close. But you're not. But I am a Taurus moon. Got it. I think you just need to try some other shit, dude.

Maybe if I was like somewhere really fucking nice, you know, where it was, I knew. Have you ever had caviar? I was about to say caviar is a great example. Like, I don't like it. But like if I'm somewhere really nice and it's given to me, I feel like it's rude to not eat it, especially if like someone else orders it for the table, you know, and you're like, no, I feel rude. So if I'm somewhere nice, like a nice restaurant, I will eat it, but I don't love it at all. What's the most opulent rich people thing that you actually like?

Probably like truffles. Okay. You know? White truffles? Do you have a... Whatever they give you in Italy. I don't know, where they just put it all over the pasta. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. But that shit's expensive here. It's expensive everywhere. It's cheaper in Italy. Yeah, maybe. A little. Do you know how they get that? The dogs hunt for it?

Dogs and or pigs. Oh. Truffle pigs because they have got really good noses apparently. Interesting. I love a truffle. I love a trouble too. Oh, you know what's on my radar? Is this voicemails to Isabel the movie?

Have you heard about this? No. It's on Netflix too. People are freaking the fuck out saying it's just the greatest thing ever. Everyone's crying when they're watching it. Apparently it's very emotional. Someone called it a modern day, you've got male, which one of the greatest movies ever. Wow.

So I'll be watching that this evening. Let's talk about you've got mail. A classic. Do you think that you've got mail is better than Sleepless in Seattle? I think so. Okay. Do you think that you've got mail is better than Joe versus the volcano? I'm sorry, what?

So that's Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan's first rom-com. Oh, I've never seen that. You've never seen Joe versus the volcano? No. Can I give you the synopsis of Joe versus the volcano? Sure. It's a fucking amazing film. Holy crap.

What year did this come out? Like the year I was born? I want to say like late 80s. So the year, probably the year I was born. Yeah. But whatever. Whatever. 1990.

Okay. When a hypochondriac learns he's dying, he accepts an offer to throw himself into a volcano at a tropical island. And along the way, he learns to truly live. Joe versus the volcano. So, Tom Hanks plays Joe. Okay. And he has this like mundane life.

He hates kind of like everything that he's doing in life. And he goes and gets a like a checkup. The doctor tells him he has something called brain fog. And brain fog is like terminal and he's going to die in six months. Oh God. If brain fog was terminal, I'd be in trouble. The owner of his company needs someone to be a huge. Human sacrifice and jump into a volcano to appease the volcano gods or whatever.

So he convinces Joe to do it because Joe thinks he's going to die. Okay. To get to this island, he has to sail a very far away. And who sails him, but the boss's daughter, who's played by Meg Ryan? Cute. They get into a shipwreck. And then the boat sinks. and then Joe survives with her on like his luggage.

Okay. And then gets to the island. A la Titanic? Yeah. But then gets to the island and then he has to go through with it, right? Like he has to go kill himself in this volcano. But along the way, he falls in love with Meg Ryan. Of course he does.

And he realizes that brain fog's not a real thing. Like Meg's like, that's not real at all. And then he's like, well, I have to do this. Like, I've already said to call. Anyways, explaining the plot of that movie is wild. Like, the fact that that got greenlit is amazing. It's crazy to me. It's incredible.

Which, by the way, if you've seen Jovers the volcano, I did a really good job of explaining how it all works. But also, if you were in a pitch to like universal and you're like, all right, so they would be like, this way too complex, guys. Anyways, Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, Joe versus Volcano. Okay, maybe I'll have to watch that. Got to. Okay. All right. Well, what's coming up for you?

You might be in the Hamptons, but I'm going to the greatest place ever tomorrow. Yellowstone. Close. Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Ah, the titans. My favorite place in the U.S. of A. Which is named after Titties. It is.

It is. Which is insane. How did that get green lit? That's exactly. What should we call them? look like huge tits. It's actually fucking insane. Like when I tell people that

that don't know, they're like, ah, ha, ha, that's funny. And I'm like, no, for real. Look it up. Okay, that's an interesting thing. I did not know that that's your favorite place in the world. In the U.S.

Where's your favorite place in the world? But I would say it's up there in the world, too, maybe like two or three. Favorite place in the world, I honestly, it might be interlock in Switzerland. Ooh. You know, I have skydived in interlockings. I know. I just went the one time so many years ago.

Matt and I keep talking about going back. It's funny when Matt and I met, he like left to go to Europe for a month, like right after we met. And he wasn't planning to go there. But I told him he was on his motorcycle and I told him to ride through there. And he did. So he got to ride through it. But we've been talking about going back. But I love it.

I love it there. I would say that's probably number one. Close, close second Cape Town. I just love it. much. The one thing interlocking didn't have, and maybe it does, and I just didn't know, I didn't ride any horses in Interlocking. I don't know if they do horse rides there. So that's the only thing that would take it down a notch for me. I did do a lot of horseback riding in Cape Town. Yes, Switzerland is just, like it just doesn't feel real, you know. I mean, you know. So I would

say that might be my favorite place. But Cape Town, close second. And then I think Jackson Hole is number three. Jackson Hole. More than Yelestown? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I like Teetown's way better than Yellowstone. What about Sun Valley? I do like Sun Valley, but I like Jackson Hole more. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like that Sun Valley is the closest thing to Jackson Hole that I've been to. Does that make sense? That's probably true. Yeah, yeah. You know what reminds me of the Teton's is, have you ever been to Stanley, Idaho? Yeah. What does that mountain range, what do they call that? Baldi? No, sawtooths. Sawtooth. Sawtooth. They're gorgeous. Yes. It's just like less going on. Like the sick thing about Jackson Hole is like you have the most beautiful fucking mountain range I've ever seen.

And then you have the best town with the best food and the best shopping right there. And you've got skiing. Like you've got it all. We got luxury. You got nature. You got, you know, wilderness. You got it all. I just love it.

If you go to Interlaken, not you, but the YFTA is if you are looking for a. Are you going to tell them to stay in the hostel? Yeah, Balmers. You told me that when I was there. I was like, I won't be doing that. That place was awesome. I hooked up with a very attractive Austrian woman there. Oh, wow.

Okay. So that's what goes on in hostels. Yeah. If you go back around Europe and you stay at hostels, you're just sleeping with everybody. You're just sleeping your way around Europe. Wow. You're just trying to get laid. Okay.

If you got a backpack, if you were traveling with a backpack. Yeah. Come on. You've got $7 to your name. and you're just toping for the best. That's probably true. You know where I think would also probably break my top three list, but I haven't been yet? Well, there's a couple places.

Matt tells me New Zealand is like the best place in the world. Haven't been there yet. Patagonia. It's like my number one ultimate bucket list place and I haven't been yet. Dang. You know where we've got to go? No. That shocks me.

The only place I've been to in South America is Argentina and Uruguay. and I've been to Argentina twice. Yeah. Do you know what we want to do? I want to do Lima. That'd be cool. Machu Picchu. Mm-hmm.

That's what I want to do Peru. What was it like not safe the past couple years or something? Because I almost, I tried to plan a trip and then they were like travel advisories and shit. I was like, I don't know. I'd also like to see, like go to Ecuador and stand on the equator would be cool. Yeah, that would be fun. My mom's done that when she's on North Miley. What happens with the toilets there?

They go the other. way or something, I don't know. Well, like, if you're on the equator, which way does go? I wonder if there is a toilet on the equator. Just go straight down. Maybe. Okay, so if you're on the equator, which way does the toilet flush? That's a really common curiosity.

So it's a bit of a myth that the Coriolis effect decides the direction of toilet flushes. Because in most times, the plumbing design is just stronger than the earth's rotation. In reality, it can flush either way, depending on the sink or toilet's design. but it's fun to talk about, right? Well, that's disappointing. The more I spend time with AI. The more you hate it. The more I don't like...

Knowing everything. I don't even like how he answered that for me. The voice on yours is really pretentious and just I don't like him ever. Yeah. He's such a dick. Yeah. Pinky's up always. What does it say about you that you chose that voice?

Well, listen, if I'm... I mean, it's more believable. if it's coming from a British voice to me. Really? Yeah, it seems more scholarly. Interesting. Does that not for you? No.

Well, whatever. So yeah, I'm going to Jackson Hole tomorrow. I'll be there for a few days, very excited to unplug and just hang out in my favorite place, ride some horses. Are you going for work? No, not really. Is this a family trip? What is this? No, it's with a group riding safari club.

And they do horseback trip. like all over the world Kenya Spain France like they like do these like curated horseback riding vacations for like an advanced riders and they're testing one in Jackson Hole so and I got invited to go and try it out that'd be fun yeah I'm excited are you to go to the million dollar bar always got to always got to always got to stop in there have a top a top a chico that's my go-toed beverage there stop into is it a well I love what's a little French bakery.

In terms of the P. Persephone. I fucking love Persephone. Great coffee. Great food. Got to stop in there. Might try to do a little shopping. Might find some things for the new house and ship it back.

You know, that would be great. We're going to the rodeo. I think the rodeo is going on right now. Jackson Hole Rodeo. So we're going to go to that one evening. And yeah, I'm excited. It should be great. For me coming up, I'm going to Maine.

You're going to live in the Hamptons for a while. I live here now. Great. I'm a Hamptons guy. I use summer as a verb now. which is lovely. Okay. I summer in the Hamptons.

Very Seth Cohen of you, I feel like. Yeah, I deserve this. Yeah. I'm staying in New England. Yep. Going to Maine. Very cool. Going to Portland, Maine.

And Maine and June might be the play. Guys. I've never been to Maine. Gorgeous. Anyways, I'm going up there with Joey. But we're going to hang out in Boston tomorrow. We are going to go. to the World Cup game.

Okay. England versus, I don't know, whatever. I don't know. By the way, one of my favorite things, ding ding. Oh, I think I told you last week is all of these Europeans realizing how good our shitty shit is. Oh, yeah, yeah. You did say this. And then my other favorite thing is, so there are like three sports announcers for the World Cup.

Lexi Lawless, who was like, he had like a big red hair style. And he was a big guy, like in the 90s. for America and then Tiari Henri and then this other guy who like played for Switzerland who was like this amazing soccer player they hate Lexi Lawless so much and it gives me so much joy because it's you could the disdain that they have for this guy is omnipresent on every broadcast. Okay. If it's electric you need to watch it. Oh wow.

All right. When you see that like Tiari Henri, he's like a little, uh, this. little French guy, he's constantly being like, Jim in the office, like looking into camera about how much he hates our American commentator. That is entertaining. Also, the American team, wait, we're fucking good at soccer now. We are? What is happening?

We won both of our games. We're going through. We've got like now like kind of an easy road. Anyways, we'll see what happens. Yeah. Keep us posted. All right. Okay.
