the guy that, you know? But bugs are attracted to like fragrant smells. Like if you wear perfume. But I don't wear perfume. So the bugs don't like you? I don't know. Because you smell bad? I just assume it's like BO. Like the bugs are coming at me because I have BO. No, I think they come at you if you smell good. You think so? Yeah. Because they're attracted to fragrance. That's why I say like don't wear perfume if you're outside because like it'll like BO. Like the bugs are coming at me because I have BO. No, I think they come at you if you smell good. You think so?

Yeah. Because they're attracted to fragrance. That's why I say don't wear perfume if you're outside because it'll attract bugs. I don't know. I'll hang my hat on it but I'm just saying trying to slog them away.

It's all your hair gel. I don't wear hair gel. Yeah, right. Do you really think that there's anything in this thing right now? You're right. There's nothing going on.

What'd you do in Paradise? You just let it's like a free-for-all? Have you... I mean, I'm barely on the freaking show. You know what? You would've been on it more if they'd had me as your co-bartender. I don't know. Because I'm entertaining, Wells. I tell you what, there's no one more entertaining than Yuki, and she's

barely on the freaking show, too. Is she, though? Let's be fair. No one's more entertaining than me, and I'm barely on that mug. I blame Yuki. She should've had me. Jordan's coming for my crown, that's for sure. Jordan is the best television I've ever seen in my whole life I don't know my Instagram password What do I do?

Do you not have it in your passwords? It's just saved on my other phone My mom was making fun of my dad for this the other day Do you want to start the show? Yeah What are you trying to do right now? I'm trying to take content since that's my job Do you have one password for everything

just in different variations of the one password? Yes, but every time I get locked out of something, I change it to a new one. So now I've racked up like six passwords. Can we talk about how you now need to have an uppercase thing? You need to have like a special character, lowercase, a number. What else do we need?

I can't remember all those things. It's too much all right can we just do a thumbprint i feel like my password is like kairi something something i'm serious but i can't remember what it is shoot i'll wait for you to do this before we start the show other phone can we just talk about how brandy right now has two phones i got two phones it's not because plug and one for the content. One for the plug and one for the club. That's not how the song goes.

Oh, there's a song? Yes! Let me just cue it up. You're like the only human that doesn't know about this song. Is it Cardi B? No. Well, then I... I think his name is Kevin Gates. Hello?

What the deal? What the deal, Wells? Maybe we should read these. It sounds like Lil Dicky. Yeah. Oh, it's a clean version. Ah. Rain, rain, rain. Rain, rain, rain. What do you think? I like it.

Is me saying I like Lil Dicky the whitest thing in the world? Is that what it is? Ladies and gentlemen, my mother's here. Tell her how good she looks, Wells. You always look beautiful. You can't have a seat. Are you high? You can only come if you're high have a seat are you high you can only

come if you're high my parents are so boring until they smoke weed and then they're the most entertaining people on the face this is the most surreal podcast ever are you pumped yeah that first of all i haven't met br yet you understand whatever you want you have to understand, though, that middle school Wells is about to lose his mind. Did you have a mullet? No. But I told you in third grade, Mrs. Gerstle, she and her husband would set up a piano and play songs. And we were in freaking love with Achy Breaky Heart. And everyone in the class knew it and sang it and it

was a big thing oh my gosh my my elementary school gym teacher do you know this had a life-size poster of dad in her office no but i do remember getting bullied in middle school i did i did get bullied in middle school you did elementary school i thought it was middle i think it was elementary once those girls decided to be mean. That's probably true, actually. And you said something like, you go back and tell those girls that you have a big old house and the horses and lots of land and that they can just make fun of you all they want. Well, I said when they make fun of you, let's ask what their dads do for a living.

That's what I said. I'm sorry, but don't mess with my girl. Yeah. Let's start the show. Bros knows you're listening to your favorite thing. I messed it up. Bros and hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with... Wells and Brandy.

Wells bought us new bells, and I got to say, I'm disappointed. You know, you would think the first thing you would say is... Is thank you. Oh my god Wells Thanks so much For doing that thing We just weren't recording When I said it

No No No Listen For like the past Like six podcasts You'd be like I'm just gonna buy the bells

I'm gonna buy the bells And it never happened So I went on Amazon And I bought the bells I actually have An excuse for this Yeah okay I used to use

My mom's prime account But like my credit card Is on the account too And I use my credit card And she locked me out i did yeah i'm locked out i did not do that you change your password nope yes you did you had to i did not it was saved on my computer it's not no she's lying because she's got a mic on so i'm locked out so i i was all the way it was in my cart and then i went to check out and it was like you're not long dead and i was like oh that's weird tried to log in locked out so you're telling logged in. And I was like, oh, that's weird. Tried to log in.

Locked out. So you're telling me you haven't been able to buy anything on Amazon for weeks? Yeah, weeks. I don't know what that world's like. But I want to be a part of it. I had to actually go to the store and buy toilet bowl cleaner. Oh, God. I had to go and get it.

Okay. But let's talk about, why are you on my account? Why don't you have your own account? Because why would I pay $100 a year when you already do? Oh. Is that true? Do you have to pay for prom? Yeah, it's $9 a month, but it pays for itself in the shipping alone, guys.

This is not an ad, by the way, but Amazon's pretty great. Or I could make $100 by not spending $100 by just using the account that she's already paid for. Also, do you guys get in on any of the Amazon Prime stuff on- Whole Foods? No, like, no, on TV. They've got really good programming. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how we watch movies.

Oh, yeah, all the time. Oh, yes. Yeah, we do. Yep, love Amazon. But you didn't know you pay for Amazon Prime? No. Mother, you need to get a handle on your finances. Do you pay for your own Netflix? Yeah, and Hulu and HBO. You do? Should I not? Well, I don't know. Like, the way that we do it in my family is, like, I pay for the Netflix.

Oh, that's smart. And then I give it to my brothers and sisters. I think that's what we do. No, I have all my own. Because you and Noah are on mine. Yeah, but I have my own at home for some reason. That's dumb. But I do have a profile here on this TV. Yeah, you do.

But Amazon's great. And it is $100 a year. Amazon's the best thing of life. Are we allowed to talk about that? Yeah. Yeah, I wish they'd pay us to talk about it, though. I know. But whatever.

They're pretty great. You do get a discount to talk about it, though. I know. But whatever. They're pretty great. You do get a discount now at Whole Foods as well. I know. Can we talk about how we're doing this at your mom's place, your parents' place in California? Because you live in L.A. now. I know. You believe Wells lives here? Insane.

By the way, I live, like, really close to you. Really? So, like, if you ever, like, want to hang out or, like, whatever. Great. That would entail you coming over here and smoking weed because that's what she does okay whatever it takes our view is really nice it is like what is a better office view than this like beautiful california backyard why would you not always do your podcast here nice too i know it's fun right this is where we're gonna do it from now on yeah

yeah you're gonna build this nice studio and we're still gonna do it i now on. Yeah, you're going to build this nice studio and we're still going to do it out here. I know, but why don't you move to LA, Brandy? I hate living here. Really? Brandy's moving to Colorado. Why don't you just do the announcement for me? What? Brandy's moving to Denver. Denver!

Oh, Menver. Is that what it's called? Menver, yeah. Is it because of the Denver Nuggets? That actually is half the reason. Oh, my God. Mom, they have an NBA team. That's exciting.

And that's why I'm going in the fall, so that I don't miss a minute of the season. Well, guess what? We got LeBron. Yes. Woo! Exactly. Bandwagon fans. We got LeBron.

You guys are bandwagon fans. If Kyrie moved to LA. I'd move here. You would? No. I wish he'd come to LA. I'd move here. You would? No. I wish he'd come to Denver. He's not. The rumor is that he and Jimmy Butler are going to be in New York City next season.

Okay. We'll see if that happens. I'm definitely not moving to New York. Why are you going to Denver? Just explain it to me. Lay it out. Well, I just, I'm from Nashville. I spent most of my life in Nashville and I love it.

Don't get me wrong. And then once I left, you were like, there's nothing here for me. No, I love Nashville, but I feel a little stuck right now, especially socially. I just feel like a lot of my friends are either leaving or have gotten married and like doing their own thing. And I just like don't really go out anymore. And so there's really nothing holding me there right now. And like six months ago, a lot of my family members were either living there or planning on spending more time there. And that's all changed lately. And so I

feel like it's a good time to try something new. I've been to Denver like six times in the past year. And every time I go, I just love it more and more. And I've made a lot of friends there. Commute to LA is a lot better. So I'll be'll be here more. Since you live here, I'm going to have to drag myself out here to podcast. I'll go to Denver. Yeah. I'm going to get a sleeper sofa for you. Yeah. Because you do not want to sleep in Ben's basement.

Trust. Are you moving with Ben Higgins? No. Oh. But I'm saying you're going to stay with me. Oh, okay. You got a place. Because his place sucks.

You have a place? I do. I rented a studio apartment. Good for you. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Yeah. And mother is actually so supportive which shocks me no well it's closer here that is closer and like if i'm gonna go visit you somewhere i think i'd rather go to denver yeah i think you'd love denver like i've done the nashville thing i mean i love nashville that's how we all kind of feel

kind of i mean been there done that yeah yeah and like i still all you know i own a house there so it's like you like always have a place what are you gonna do with it i have two girls that are gonna rent out two of the rooms for me and then i'll still have my one guest room when i'm home i'll just like stay at my own house which is great smart setup you gotta go figure it out kid you should get somebody to rent your place and but then like the second the guest bedroom like you can stay in when you go back i know all right quick psa for those of you out there who rent if you haven't heard of built you're about to thank me.

But don't you Airbnb the other one?

No, we long-term rent that one. Oh, you do. Anyways. How do they find out that you do that? I don't know. i think people tattle right yeah and say like there's people coming and going your neighbor's probably telling you because neighbors like hate the airbnb thing for whatever reason i know yeah i feel like i can get away with it in my neighborhood probably but i didn't want to have to worry about it for the first six months

like i know who's in my house i don't have to think about it when i'm home i like being around these two girls like they're great so does that mean your your halloween party's off or what's going on i think so really i haven't officially decided yet but i'm thinking yeah yeah thank goodness that party was the party of the year i'm just saying i always worry worry that you're gonna end up getting sued because somebody crazy does something crazy that's true i don't have railing on my stairs. And every year I think someone's going to face plant down the stairs. I keep telling you got to fix that.

I have liability insurance. It's fine. It's fine. No, but I don't think we're going to do it this year. I really don't. Last year, like nobody tore anything up or anything, but like my floors definitely took a beating. Like they were sticky for about two weeks.

Yeah. From all the alcohol spilled everywhere. That's another party. But it was worth that. We had a blast uh i was actually asking my sister because she likes to throw a good halloween party i asked her yesterday what the play was for halloween and she wasn't sure yet either so which sister miley yeah she throws great parties wait you've been to some of them fourth like the fourth like yeah like so halloween is one of her other like favorite holidays throw a big party for so we'll see like what she's planning that might determine where i

go i hate halloween why it's my favorite holiday i just don't like it why not have you ever attempted to have a good time on halloween i think i was scarred from a little being a little girl and these three boys across the street from me were so mean and they always scared me so bad on halloween i think i've hated it ever since so do you not get dressed up do we've had some across the street for me were so mean and they always scared me so bad on Halloween. No. I think I've hated it ever since. So do you not get dressed up? I do. We've had some fun Halloweens.

I do like to dress up like all cute. Remember that one time you were Joan Jett? I was such a good Joan Jett. You were a great Joan Jett. I'm going to have to dig that photo up

for the podcast. It's really good. I was a great Joan Jett but I feel like when me, Nicole and Susie were cops. I wasn't on here for that. It was the best one. I love Halloween.

It's my favorite holiday. Mine too. Sorry, I was cheating. Is it really? It is. There's no way I can say this without making it sound weird but I like wigs. He likes what?

Wigs. I have like a lot of wigs. You like to role play is what you're saying here. What you're saying is, oh, you know what? Oh, this is bad. I never want to picture this in my mind. These are things I need to not think about. I can just picture right now you and Sarah.

Wait, hold on. By the way, I showed up to Miley's 4th of July party wearing a wig. Yeah, he did. What wig? It was like a mullet wig kind of. Yeah, it was like a rocker, like an 80s rocker. Oh my gosh, that is hilarious. But here's the thing.

This is still, this is going to come across even more weird, but Sarah has a room that has nothing but costumes in it. That doesn't shock me at all though. She's like a theater kid. Yeah.

Yeah, she's a theater kid. That is hilarious. So it's like dresses and wigs and shoes and costumes. No, they're, no.

When do you wear these? Never, but she came out to Nashville to help me move, right? And we were going through all my stuff, and I have a crate of wigs and stuff. That is so weird. And mustaches. And I was like, I'm just going to throw those away.

And she was like, no. These are going in the costume room. And I was like, there's a costume room? This is insane. What? Molly kind of has that too. Not a room but a section of a closet. She does. She does. She does a lot of costuming. You saw her on the

fourth. She was dicked. Yeah but think about it like you love Halloween because you get to play dress up. I know it's fun. What if every party you have you go into the costume room and you're like alright. The costume room. I'm, it's fun. What if every party you have, you go into the costume room and you're like, all right. The costume room. I'm joking today. That is hysterical.

That is fun. I keep most of my Halloween outfits, so maybe eventually I'll have a costume section in my closet. Yeah. Why not? I wish I could wear a wig every single day. Me too. That's because you hate your hair.

Get up. She just hates her hair. No, put it in your, well, this little band, let's have it in. And then put the wig on and you're ready. I had to wear the Hannah Montana wig once, because when I was Miley's body double, and it was so itchy, and she used to complain about it, and I'd be like, she's

complaining, and that's silly, but like, it really is so itchy. Yeah, they are. I would hate wearing a wig. Yeah. No, I disagree. You love them. It's one of Wells' favorite pastimes. Wigs are pretty great. I remember the time that I put on a mustache and I went out in East Nashville. You probably fit right in.

I got hit on super hard. Oh, my God. This is why I have to leave. That's weird. This is exactly why I have to leave Nashville. I killed it. And then I was doing something where I was scratching, and the girl that I was talking to was like, is that a fake mustache?

And I was like, what? No. You're like, no, I grew this myself. I totally grew this. And she was like, is that a fake mustache? And I was like, what? No. You're like, no, I grew this myself. I totally grew this. And she was like, it's a fake mustache. And she grabbed it, ripped it off. No, she did not. And I was like, oh, my God.

And then she was legitimately angry that I had tricked her. Oh. The fact that she thought that was a turn on, though, she deserves to be tricked. If I saw a fake mustache on a guy, I would so run the other way. I would run the other direction. As fast as absolute possible. I feel like I'm scaring your mom a little bit.

She's like, hmm, he likes wigs, he wears fake mustaches. This is a long time ago. This is a different time in my life. I've grown a lot. Like last week? Just a couple weeks ago. I heard that Halsey and G-Eazy are reuniting. No. No, they're not.

That's why I read here. I thought he was dating somebody else already. Apparently, they were at an after party after the VMAs holding hands. And Halsey,

you're better than this. You're better than that, Halsey. She is the best. The best. I'm obsessed with her. She's the best. Like completely, 100 gazillion percent.

Jeezy is a hoe. I don't know about that. He is a hoe. Well, that's bad. Speaking of the VMAs and couples, did you see my cute sister? No. What? I gotta be honest with you.

I didn't watch the G8. I didn't either. But I did see. I was doing something. But I did see. I saw the picture of your sister and the guy she's dating. Lil' Dan. That's what I'm talking about.

I saw a really funny. Look how cute they are. They look kind of like they could be related. Everybody says that. That's why I'm talking about. I sound like a really funny can't like. Look how cute they are. They look kind of like they could be related. Everybody says that. That's why I said maybe. He kind of looks like Trace. He does look a lot like Trace. Yeah.

Yeah. She just looks good. She looks great, right? Killing it. Look, her caption is my favorite thing. It says ugliest couple at VMAs. Because she knows that's going to be all the comments anyway. So she's like, why not just beat him to it?

That's what you got to do. Yeah. On social media, self-deprecation always wins. But I did see a picture of them where like, uh, it's, it's,

he doesn't look that great. He's like, have you seen that? It's everywhere. But she also posted the one today of her with the Migos and she's like photo bombing Quavo and Quavo posted it. No story. That's funny. It was cute.

That's really cute. You know what's weird? So the first time I ever met Miley and the first time I hung out at a party was at the VMA after party. Oh yeah. At features. After Miley hosted. I don't think I went to that.

I went to that VMAs, but I didn't get the after party. Yeah, you didn't. How many years ago was that? Three? It must have been three or four considering how long we've been friends. Three years, I think. Probably three. That happened.

Yep. I loved that VMAs. That was, I think. Probably three. That happened. Yep. I loved that VMAs. That was when Kanye got up on stage and did the whole speech. It was great. I just wanted him to wrap it up. I loved every minute of it. Yeah. I did.

It was a good interview. Justin Bieber cried from stage because it was his comeback. It was a great year for the VMAs. It really was. Truly. How do you feel about Justin Bieber right now? Hailey? Yeah.

I'm here for it. Are you? Uh-huh. I love them. I don't know if I have an opinion on that, but Hailey, I've known since she was so little. I know. She's sweet. She is the sweetest, best, most amazing girl ever, and I love her so much.

I just wish Justin would get a haircut. That is the most mom thing I've ever heard. I am all about long hair. I love a good guy with long hair. His is not good long hair. He has not good hair quality for long hair. It looks very Kurt Cobain in the bad years. I think that's what he's going for, though.

But a little too thin to do the Kurt Cobain. It's true. Like, Kurt Cobain, his was, like, it was a thing. And it was full. Biebs is a little thin to go. I'm here. It's true. Like Kurt Cobain, his was like, it was a thing and it was full. Beavis is a little thin to go. I'm here for the Beavis and Haley. I think they're precious. I just like find it a little hard to believe that he's forgotten Selena like so fast. But maybe he has,

I don't know. I mean, honestly, if I got to wake up and look at Haley every day, I would be the happiest dude ever. Like, I just think Haley is the most beautiful girl in the world. But to me,

it just seems like they're best friends. And I think that's really cute. And I think that's what makes like a lasting relationship is when you have a solid friendship. Me too. All right. So you don't think it's friend zones material. I think it could be,

but I think also think like if they can make it work, that it's really precious. All right. I'm here for it. I'm here for it. I just, Selena seemed toxic. Very. Yeah. I just don't want to see any more uh pete and ariana pictures i'm over it i think they're cute they're cute but i just want him to get like a tan

or something right y'all are terrible no i just can i say something that i think is gonna offend a lot of people i don't really care sure don Sure. Don't braces. Don't like it. All right? Is this a least favorite thing? Yes. Yeah. It's just like the metal kind?

I'll take the rap. Wait, who has them? I don't know. Did you ever see someone that's like I had a co-worker. Honestly, I'm not going to lie. The metal ones?

Yeah. People still have those? Yeah. It really freaks me out. Yeah. And they're trying to get their grill back working, and I get it, and I applaud them for it.

Invisalign, though. That's what I was going to say. Thank you. Can we please do Invisalign? I actually need Invisalign. My bottom teeth are so messed up. I think there just needs to be a rule that if you are out of high school, you're just not allowed to get metal braces.

No. I can't believe that metal braces even exist. They do. Now that Invisalign is a thing. Oh, they exist, and oh, my God. Is it cheaper to do that Invisalign is a thing. Yes. They exist and, oh my God. Is it cheaper to do that? Yes. I don't know the reason.

Is that why? That's probably why. It's just not a fan of metal braces. If you're talking to someone, you're like, I can't take you seriously. No. I can't. I would be able to. And please don't eat bread because it gets stuck in there and then I'm not going to be

able to look at anything else and I got to go. Just spot. Let me just clarify before everyone starts hating on us that some of these listeners probably have braces. Wells is specifically saying adults. Adults. Like over 30. So don't anybody freak out.

And also, like, I totally applaud if you're doing it. But just know if we talk, I'm going to be like, oh, no. It is kind of like, I'm like that too. I feel bad because we hated on people that have um the signs in your house that say like live laugh love like i was like i hate that crap and then i had all these people flood my twitter mentions and we're like i have those signs my feelings are hurt i was like oh no oh my mom has that no one tweeted tweeted me and i ripped on my mom about that hate on me for stuff they were upset and I was like listen it's great for you.

I'm just saying I don't want those in my house. Yeah. Look someone today sent me a picture of this for the shoot for the moon even if

you miss you'll land amongst the stars. No you'll be dead in the atmosphere. Hilarious. Oh man. No and let's go back to the braces.

I'm not. I'm not. Because I had braces for three years. I had them for two and a half. As an adult? No. Okay.

Now her teeth are nice and fake. Your teeth look great. Thanks. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's fine. It's a thing. Oh, I did something really cool today. What?

Crowd therapy? I did do crowd... Do you want to get into that? No, no. Tell me what you're going to... What did you do? Okay, so I got invited, my first table read ever. Wow.

Wait. And I'm sure the Cyrus clan is. You were just like observing or were you taking part in? No, no, no. I was just like observing it. Oh. Was it Modern Family? Yeah.

Oh, fun. And so like they give you a script. Yeah. And I sat down. You love it? And I had to meet everybody. Sarah's like laugh a lot. Cause that's like, you know, the writers want to know like what jokes to meet everybody. Sarah's like, laugh a lot.

Because that's like, you know, the writers want to know like what jokes hit and what I'm like, okay. Did people like commonly go and observe table reads? There was like a hundred people in there. What? Yeah. They didn't even sit on Hannah Montana, did they? No, but even on two and a half. I mean, yeah, I guess on two and a half.

But it felt like more like 40 people on the crew. That's a lot, those two. Well, it was like, obviously the entire cast was up there reading. And then the first couple rows were writers. And then it was like a bunch of heads of, I got the whole row. I was like, who is everybody? Why is everyone here? And then I guess there's a bunch of people that were like heads of a network heads.

And then ABC people. And then there was like 25 people people that were just like i want to fucking watch this that would make me so nervous it was um you don't think to have all those people just listening here's the thing though everyone's so good yeah for sure and i'm sitting there watching it and like there's the one guy that's like now phil walks in the room and phil sits down whatever you know and i was like in my mind like picturing it and then they did it and it was exactly like watching a Modern Family episode. That's so funny.

Just in my brain. Yeah. It was the coolest. That's pretty cool. So anyways. Big fan of table reading. Big fan. My favorite.

I love a good table reading. I've only done one. And it was for that horror movie. And they Skyped me in. Because I wasn't in New York. Yeah. I did table reads with Molly during the episode she did on Two and a Half Men. And it was just so much fun. It does sound fun. Same thing. Because like table reads with Molly during the episode. She's on two and a half man. It was just so much fun.

It does sound fun. Same thing. Cause like John Cryer and Ashton, I mean, they're just all such pros. Ashton Kutcher one time. He is so cute. So cute.

Yeah. Uh, Chrissy Teigen projectile vomits at daughter's school. My mom's face. Do you think that Chrissy Teigen is kind of putting it on? She's like, uh, I want everyone to know how relatable I am. Been thinking that chrissy teigen is kind of putting it on she's like uh i want everyone to know how relatable i am been thinking that about chrissy teigen really talking about you

mom we talk about all things filter free i love her but like you can be silent i'll be silent i just think it's like a little overplayed like i remember of course that's her brand is i'm relatable i'm so relatable yeah that's her whole brand that's her the whole thing about her marriage is like look how relatable we are yeah yeah it's a bit much though like i get it you're great yeah and you're hot and like you're hot you're breastfeeding yeah that's okay i support that you did the picture like this double chin but you're a supermodel, so let's relax. It's ridiculous. She speaks up. I'm done.

That's all you're saying. It's ridiculous. That's good. That's really funny. Mom, do you have any favorite things you want to let us know about? Yeah, what are your favorite things right now? Any new faves? Such as?

Well, we went shopping today. We really did. And one of my new favorite things is your new Fendi boots. My new Fendi boots are great. I'm going to have to get used to them. They're really good. But I'm really going to branch out. Mother is trying to, how would you say it? Be more sophisticated with your wardrobe without losing your identity?

Or I don't want to dress like, everybody's like, you should dress like your age. Absolutely not. Why would I do that? Like, why am i gonna go and just just because my numbers are going up why do i have to dress a certain way what would you say a normal i'm not your age what would you say a normal woman your age would wear that like you would think is dressing your age that you don't want to wear like a a pantsuit? Like a navy slack. A slack. With like a gladiator and a

dress shoe. Mom, no one wears gladiators. A dress shoe instead of a gladiator. You hate a wedge? I hate a wedge. I hate a wedge. I don't think you should change anything. I think you're doing great. I'm sitting here in my Adidas slots

and my Redone jeans and a white t-shirt and i think that it is just fun oh i like the fendi boots you got today well and yeah great love but i did pick them up the bag that i got is a little young and trendy but it's still appropriate i think so yeah it's good though and it's sporty super sporty can i ask you a question of your favorite things you can what is your favorite tattoo oh of whose yours um of whose i think this one and it was because i've been dying to go to this artist named dr woo yeah can you explain what it is for the podcast listeners i drew it and it just had it had little teeny things for each of the kids. Yeah.

And it's just moon and stars. And then I love arrows. And so I just went in and told Dr. Wu and he just freehand and drew it right there. Like it was just so crazy. And to see like him and his detail and it was just the coolest thing ever. That's who Sarah goes to. I love him. I think I'm going to get one, though.

You got to get one. I don't know. Why not? I mean, if you can get into him and get one by Dr. Like, he is the most. He is incredible. Yeah. He is one of my tattoos by Dr.

Woo. Favorite thing. Those bells are horrible. Number two. What's another favorite thing? What's another favorite thing? I love this. What's your favorite child? Miley miley actually that's a lie the boys are her favorite we're not going here i was

if i had to if i was forced to pick i'd say brazen yeah that's her favorite child is brazen the no no is youngest yeah no brazen's not my favorite he is brazen is the easiest yeah aka her favorite yeah everyone likes brazen's the easiest in your mind because you don't ever see him and you don't know the crap that he's doing like that's probably true but he's so sweet and he calls me mama do you want to barf or do you want to barf i mean that's kind of cute and honestly more often than not he tells me that i'm the best mom in the world. Oh, well, he is. Apparently, I just need to start doing that instead of hanging out with you, helping you shop, doing things for you.

He just is so sincere. Oh, God, he's going to hate me. But I mean, he literally would go, Mom, you honestly are the best mom in the entire world. Guess who didn't get kicked off the Amazon Prime list? Guess who didn't get kicked off the my parents still pay my bills list. Oh, there it is. Should we go get dad? Do we need him?

Yeah, I want it. Make sure he's high though. Okay. He's not, but okay. Get him high, mom. That's hilarious. Your mom is the best. You love her?

I agree with your brother. She's the best mom ever. I just love how easily we could get her to like start talking about stuff she didn't want to start talking about. Once I brought up braces, she was just like, oh!

This is my favorite thing that's happening right now is that Sarah, Sarah should have come over. Well because we were in Glendale and she was just like, screw that, but she was, we did the table read and she's not in the episode this week, so she's not working. So she just went home and got wine drunk. And now we were just in Napa for Porch Fest, and so my dad gave us all this wine. And she's texting me being like, hey, is it okay if I open this bottle now? Is it okay if I open this bottle now?

She's like three bottles deep. Can we talk about Colton's obsession with dogs? Yeah, it's a little annoying because guess what? Guess who started it? I'm the dog guy. All right, do your own thing. Who else is the dog guy

though is Ben Zorn. That's true, but I was a dog guy before Ben Zorn became the dog guy. Were you? Yeah, because he got his Rottweiler

after I got Carl. Really? Yes. Everyone is just ripping off everything I do. Going to Humane Association, taking cute pics. It's true. Sliding into ripping off everything I do. Going to Humane Association, taking cute pics. It's true.

Sliding into actresses' DMs. Everyone just ripping me off, all right? Wait, are you going to, yeah, you're going to the Paradise reunion thing next week. No, I haven't even been told about it. Yes, you have. No, I really haven't. How? You're on the show.

I know. September 4th? I was supposed to do press for it. Can we talk about, real quick, my new favorite toothbrush? Please. Have you heard about the Quip toothbrush? You know what? I hadn't until Ben Hagen stayed at my house this week

and he was like, look at my cool new toothbrush. Well, he's a purveyor of the finer things in life. This makes sense. For starters, it's an electric toothbrush that is a fraction of the cost of the really big, expensive ones, you know? Right. Which I've lost so many times traveling that I could die.

I know. Well, here's what I like about this one. It's like the size of a normal toothbrush, which makes it easy for travel. You can't travel with the big ones. No, you cannot. You know? No. Such as like weight limits and stuff on the plane, please.

So Wells was kind enough to get me one of these toothbrushes. And you know what? I got to say, brushing my teeth is the last thing I do before I go to bed. And I'm always so tired that like brushing my teeth for the full two minutes is real tough. But this little toothbrush, my favorite thing about it is that it actually like has a built-in timer. So that you know when you're brushing your teeth for the like full two minutes. Like it'll like go off or whatever on its own. So it helps you brush your teeth.

Quip starts at just $25. And if you go to getquip.com, that's Q-U-I-P, and then do slash Y-F-T for your favorite thing, you'll get your first refill pack free with Quip. That's what's super dope about these, is that they send like- Refills. Yes. It's kind of like those razor companies became in vogue. I have that, yes. Yeah. Yeah, and it's great because it comes right to your door.

Yeah, I love it, man. I know. Us Americans, we love our convenience. What can I say? All right, your first refill pack free at getquip.com slash YFT, spelled G-E-T-Q-U-I-P dot com slash YFT. Your favorite thing. Yeah.

Clean teeth. Oh, my God. Your dad. Is he coming out? He's got a yid. I'm about to Postmates Sugarfish. It's my favorite thing to do when I'm in town. Do it.

Hilarious. This is... I'm a little... I'm freaking out. No, no. We're waiting on you. I'm freaking out. Oh, my God.

This is finally happening. Oh, it's so happening, man. I like y'all's concept. She tells me it's mandatory to smoke marijuana. It's mandatory. Mandatory. I think you've got a hook there. That is hilarious.

Look, there's even dope laying there. Yeah, we just laid it out for you. It's right there for you. This is the government. This is the government. I'm not falling into this trap. This trap. How are you? I'm not falling into this trap. This trap. How are you?

I'm good. Old. Ugly. You look great. What are you talking about? I can't believe it's taken this long for me to meet you. How is that possible? Is he the last one?

Because everybody's talking about you. No, you haven't met Trace. I haven't met Trace. That's the last. Trace will be the last one. At the totem pole. We could get Trace on the pod this week. We got to get him.

Where is he? The house. This is my new favorite episode right here. The Cyrus family. I can't believe. I'm sorry. Oh. But I was just saying that I totally agree with your son.

That you are the best mom ever. And my mom listens to my podcast. This is going to get mom ever. And my mom listens to my podcast. This is going to get me in trouble. His mom listens to his podcast. She doesn't have much going on, though, let's be fair. Your mom's wheeling and dealing. Her Facebook page is like a shrine to you. It's insane.

My mom? Yeah. I know, I know. What should I call you? What are you comfortable with? BR is good. BR? Billy Ray? Billy Ray. Today, did you see the thing you call yourself? BR is good. BR? Billy Ray?

Billy Ray. Today, did you see the thing? My name used to be Bo. Okay. So you call me Bo. Call me Bo Ray. You can call me Cyrus. My name in baseball was Blood.

All right. That's cool. Yeah, I would sacrifice my body to knock the ball down, whatever it took. And guys on the team just started calling me blood. What position did you play? Catcher. Okay. I was in the ultimate position to make the sacrifice.

Yes. You know what I mean? And I love that spot, too, because in baseball, you're kind of like the quarterback to be behind the plate, and you're kind of calling the plays and pitches. Is there a wolf over here trying to get in your shot? He can come out. Yeah, let's get the wolf. Not Samuel, though.

A lot of people don't know this. Wolf, please. I was also the catcher. You played baseball? And I tell you, so here's my favorite thing about playing catcher was you get to talk trash. It's the only position where you can talk a lot of trash to the guy that's up to bat.

Oh, to the bat. Yeah. Hi, bud. That was kind of my job and kind of my thing i love the psychology of getting in the batter's head and if they would take a whiff at one and miss it i'd hold it up and let him see it you can say anything you want you pretty much good you can't get like thrown out for like in the nba like if you start trash talking too hardcore they're like throw you i'll give you a technical you could but in these days back in my day we used to just fight yeah like it seemed easier to just make a fist and go at it

but i know that's probably unacceptable did you do that uh yeah i sure did often did you ever get like um like trucked over i was always glad the umpires broke i played the badass if i needed to but just long enough for them to break it up i'd walk away you know i mean you know i'd do that again man and just waiting for that moment of a for a guy to get on base and try to throw him out and knowing that they're pissed off at you and want to steal. Yeah. And it gets real exciting.

And then should there happen to be a play at the plate, that's the ultimate. Yeah. And if you win and get him out, great. I don't ever recall a time, though, that somebody knocked the ball out of my glove. Like, I think if I had it in time, they were out. But there had been times where maybe the guy crossed the plate before the ball got to me.

But I don't ever remember a collision that I lost the ball. Wow. One of my other favorite things about being a catcher, other than talking trash to the batters, was when someone was leading off a little bit too much, and then you would get up and walk at them a little bit, and they'd have to go back to first or second. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or if they're caught in the middle, then they go, and then you can get them in a pickle. That does sound fun. Yeah. In a pickle. walk at them a little bit and like they'd have to they have to go back to first or second oh yeah if they're caught in the middle then they go then you gotta then you can get them in a pickle that's not fun yeah i love that a lot yeah that's a good feeling you know to hear that and hear you express

it you are a catcher because that's a unique feeling yeah that's that's that's a whole concept itself power yeah it's exciting it's fun and you, life is just like baseball. I mean, if we get serious for a moment, you know, it's all about, let's say you want to be an actor. Well, you got to get up to the plate and go to auditions. It's not going to happen if you don't get up to the plate. Everything in life is a matter of making up your mind of, hey, in baseball, I want to hit the ball. So what I got to do to hit the ball get up to the plate and then what are you going to do from there swing yep you got to take your rips you know but i'll take a walk these days i'll take a walk i'll take a walk

this is where i learned how to do metaphor when i was in the cryotherapy machine i was literally using as a life metaphor this is where i learned that well and a lot of people think that like if you want to be an actor you got to get to get up to play and i think a lot of people maybe come out to hit to la and they think they only can hit grand slams but that's ridiculous because one striking out like failing you learn so much about like all the reasons why you failed and you're better the next time you come up to bat but a lot of times just hitting singles just getting on base is really important that's like just showing up is 99 of success or whatever you know that is so true man you got to get up to the plate then you got to take your rips and keep your eye on the ball you know it's about focus everything in life where the people have no vision they shall perish

or as a man thinketh in his heart and in his soul, so is he or she. It's what the seeds that you sow in your mind and the thoughts that you sow in your mind are the seeds to the fruit that will manifest in your life and your dreams and your goals. Mind blown. I'm starting a quote book for my dad. Every time he says a quote, I write it down.

And eventually I'm going to have a whole book full of them. And we're going to publish a quote book. We are? Yeah. What are you going to call it? I can do this. I don't know yet. What's your favorite quote?

Let me pull them up for you. Okay. You got some in there? I've got them. No way. Oh, yeah. You know this. Every time I'm here, I take notes.

I thought you were just kidding me. BRC quotes. This one you said about mother. you hate me less when you're high oh god yeah that's funny oh you're an outlaw when you've been outlawed

that's right that's Waylon Jennings what's the definition of an outlaw one who's been outlawed one who's been outlawed that's from Waylon Jennings so he stole that quote Waylon said that to me

that's basically what he said I borrowed it I borrowed it do the best you can do and then you do some more. Haven't always said that. Oh, God. The BRC. Oh, wow.

That's what you do. Yeah. That is true. Yeah. If you look at anything from a different perspective, it's brand new. Oh, my God. Yeah. My father.

Yeah. So I got a whole note section. I know that we were talking trash about those dumb quotes people have in their kitchens. But these are good. But this is good stuff. Yeah. Got a whole note section. I know that we were talking trash about those like dumb quotes people have in their kitchens. But these are good. This is good stuff. Yeah. This is like quotes that you'd have in like your man cave bar area.

But don't you think it's better as a coffee table book? I like it. Instead of like plastered on the wall. Yeah. I think it's going to be great. But Wells, the most important lesson and the truest law of all, even maybe more so than the law of gravity is this one here. Are you ready?

Mm-hmm. The more you stomp in shit, the more it stinks. And if you ever doubt that, go out and find a big hot one, and breathe in, and then take your foot, and stomp in it, and you will see that law is true every time. That's hilarious. Classic.

I... The more you stomp in... That's true. Every time. That's hilarious. Classic. The more you stomp it, the more you stomp it. See, there's a dog out there laying me a perspective. Can you ding the bell before you say it? Should I say stool? No. Okay.

You have stools on your thing. You have stools on your phone. They're mushrooms. A toadstoolools on your thing. You have stools on your phone. They're mushrooms. A toadstool. Look at him. See? I would call that a toadstool. Look at that.

Does she not have stools? You know, I played a doctor. It was my first acting job. Yeah. Doc, I was only a doctor in history. I had a mullet, two-foot-long mullet. I wore that white cape, stethoscope, and the whole thing. Tried to cover it up.

What kind of doctor? A bad one. Yeah. I would say um that show was great well thank you very much and i love doing that show i love that show and each episode was about hope and faith and love and a positive message in each show but um to me it was about learning acting i was intimidated because i'm a natural born musician, but acting was foreign to me and I had to learn not to act. My first job or one of my first was in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. And he kept taking one takes and gone to the next scene. And I said, sir, you sure you're getting this?

He said, yeah, man. He said, with you, less is more. He said, if you always do less is more you could be a real actor well when I started acting and Doc there soon became my first series I started acting and I'd find myself trying to act yeah and when I'd see it back and feel it I'd realize David Lynch was right for me for me it was like finding a rhythm like a musician like a song has a rhythm and a pocket and like baseball when you pass ball with the pitcher and you're throwing the ball back and forth yeah that's what acting is in a scene you're just throwing the ball back and forth and I kind of had to learn through those series that David Lynch was right. Not acting for me was more of what I do and let the actors act.

Whether it went on to be Hannah Montana or on Broadway, by then I had realized that was probably the rule for me, is let the actors act. I just try to know my lines and hit my mark. Then let them do all the magic and I stand there. I think that's good because there's nothing worse than somebody overacting when you're like watching a show and they're like overdoing it and you're like, oh, I can tell you're acting.

I think that's where that like, oh, they're trying. Yeah. You know, like when you see someone that's like overdoing at the club. Yeah. You're like, you're trying. You're trying a little too hard. Yeah. Like, it's all weird for us. We get club. Yeah, you're like, you're trying. You're trying a little too hard. You know? It's insane.

It's all weird for us. We get it, yeah. No, but I remember you telling me that before I filmed that horror movie and I really took that to heart and I was like, all right, less is more.

Like, don't overact anything. Just say the lines like you would say it to your best friend, like whatever. And I feel like that's the great advice. We should make

a new horror movie. Let's do it. Have you been to our shack? Did you write a script about, oh no, about the- I wrote The Shack and then Tim McGraw released a movie called The Shack. That was a great movie, by the way. Great movie. In 1989, I had a song.

As early as 1983, I wrote If Tomorrow Never Comes. By 1989, I was still playing the Ragtime Lounge. Still playing four to five sets a night five nights a week my dad hands me a newspaper one day and said you ever heard of this guy I think he cut your song and it was Garth Brooks and his if tomorrow never comes and a great song and a great record and I love Garth but that one hurt because I've been singing my of tomorrow never comes for seven years but I just I didn't have a record deal I didn't have the intangible break and luckily I it's persistence in any dream in any goal it's about persistence what's the one

you you wrote one though what's the place in Spring Hill that's haunted that we always go to Ripavilla Ripavilla did you have a whole script about Ripavilla I wrote a script about Ripavilla What's the one you wrote one, though? What's the place in Spring Hill that's haunted that we always go to? Ripavilla. Ripavilla. Didn't you have a whole script about Ripavilla? I wrote a script about Ripavilla. What happened to that? It's like it got washed away.

I liked that script. I think somebody else did that, too. No. We need to bring that one back. You know what happened on Ripavilla was I got approached about doing haunted shows. Oh, yeah. And I sold out and went out there for another network and did the generic haunted show and let the producers tell me where the ghost was. And I never felt more like a prostitute than I did after that.

I left there feeling so, like, just really not, like, just bad. I said, wait a minute. You think that's bad? You should go on the bachelorette man tell me about that man how real is it seriously when those confrontations are this that for real it's pretty real everyone thinks it's like scripted or edited in a way that it's not the editing happens beforehand where they put certain people in certain positions that they're going to have a fight no matter what.

You know, like if there's a guy on third and someone hits a dinger, you know he's coming home. You know the catcher and the guy running the base is going to hit. If you can just set up the scene that way, that's what happens. Oh, wow. Have you been on Dancing with the Stars? No. Would you do it?

I would do it. Okay, you both should go on on the same season. I've been trying. And compete against each other. That'd be so good. Sir, you guys on Dancing with the Stars

would be so good. Would you be good at Dancing with the Stars? No, I think I'd be terrible, but I'm so competitive that I think that I would never give up. I think you'd win it.

But you were on it. I think you'd win it. Unfortunately. Forever. And so, because she tells stories of you going on it and you lost a bunch bunch of wakes that's such a crazy workout schedule why would someone who doesn't dance enter a dance contest and i've thought about this i said first of all you broke

the law of life you're the singer and in the band you play the music and dancers dance yeah it's almost that acting thing it's like let the actors act in this world i'm in the band and dancers dance. Yeah. It's almost that acting thing. It's like, let the actors act. In this world, I'm in the band and I play the guitar and I love to sing it. And that's, I should have stayed in my lane. But for some reason. But you went so far. Yeah, but you got to do it because who knows, tomorrow may not come. You know, true.

And my dad had passed away a little bit before that. And he challenged me in some way to go somewhere I'd never been. And maybe I was just challenging myself but I always kind of try to find something to go beyond the comfort zone and that certainly was but I sum it up now as I had an out-of-body experience but unfortunately I was in my own body and I don't dance and that's a horrible spot to be in when it's live on national television oh god I gotta do what and your mind starts racing and then I'm going man why did I enter a dance contest and then I go it's too late they're going lights up you're on but you went

so far top five much further than I should have really I have like good i appreciate you saying that i to me i did get to do one dance and i got to slide oh yeah reach out and taking my hand was muhammad ali wow the champ it was a moment that made it all worth it made it all worth it even to go through that whole thing to to reach out and touch the champ and to look in his eyes he He was smiling. A few years later, I went to Arizona to be a part of his benefit over there. And he was in a wheelchair there. And this was several years after Dancing with the Stars. And I was wondering why I was going to play. It was with a big orchestra and like kind of a different thing. And right at the last moment, I changed my set list and I thought, what would he like to hear? And I go, Johnny B. Goode. And I asked the band, can we play Johnny B. Goode instead of such? And they're like,

yeah, we all know it. We kicked in the Johnny B. Goode. And you could see Ali just the thoughts of his mind of when Chuck Berry was singing that song, where his life was in Louisville, Kentucky, and fighting through the Olympics. Music heals. And on that given night, I saw it with Ali singing Chuck Berry, Johnny B. Goode, and seeing him, you could see he felt and remembered things of what music can do and what music can heal. That's awesome. Yeah. Special.

I've got a new idea for a segment. Oh, yeah, that's right. I wanted to hear about this. Thank you. Yes, give it a ding. What are we going to call it? It's going to be called Tips to Living Well.

Tips to Living Well. Oh, I saw you write this in the notes. Yeah. I like it. Okay, because I wanted to do like a Twitter thing every day. I have like a tip

I want everyone to do one if they can figure one out. First tip to living well. Every time you're in a place that sells cool greeting cards, get a bunch and then get a drawer where you can put all these cards and then give people cards when they don't expect

Karma, it's all about what you give is what you get. And to try to make each place a little better than it was before you got there. I wrote a song years ago about a Vietnam veteran called Some Gave All and Some Gave All is about trying

to find purpose in every moment. I call it the moral to the story. This world that we live in is getting a little dark and a little rough out there and the world needs love it's just love just give back love and try to replace you know hate i like it bitterness with love and build a bridge instead of a wall yeah you know what i mean i like that step and shit yeah hold on yeah i like it it's good It's good. Yeah. Should I leave? Am I done? It's up to you. What else?

Is there anything else you wanted to cover? Well, we talk about our favorite things. Horses. We have a good saying for horses. You know, I like that. What is it? The outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man. What was your favorite subject in school?

History? Because you know so much about it. I didn't back then, though. The only A I ever got was in speech class. Really? I only got two A's, my first speech and my last speech. Speeches? And each of those speeches was, this one was from Chief Joseph.

Originally, he gave a speech called, From Where the Sun Now Stands, I Will Fight No More Forever. And I gave that speech my first assignment in speech class in sixth grade. And I got my first A ever in my life. The rest of the year went kind of downhill until the end of the year. I was supposed to write a synopsis of that speech, only put it in my times. And I said, said well so from where the sun now stands I will learn no more forever and I gave a little satire speech and I got another

A and then I actually executed that in my scholastics and and did actually learn nothing for the next six years that's what's crazy I cannot believe i had to go to school anyway i had to be there so why in the world would i try not to learn it was like if i could do something if i come home today and didn't learn anything i thought that was a successful day and that's crazy that like i can't believe i did that and i i can't believe somehow i passed.
