Do you know how depressing that is? I mean, I guess maybe you do if you're in your 40s.

But whatever, it's fine. It's not a big deal. It's just, you know, the passage of time, which is the only commodity that really matters in life that is going away so fast is depressing. And it leaves you with an existential crisis, which is, am I just wasting this life? I mean, so much of it is me on talking into a microphone by myself. You guys seem to like it though, which is, am I just wasting this life? I mean, so much of it is me on talking

into a microphone by myself. You guys seem to like it though, which is good. We do have a special episode for you today. Brandy, I don't know where the fuck she is and she's flying to Europe or something. So she will not be here today. So lucky for all of you, our resident pinch hitter, Sarah Hyland will be joining us on the YFT podcast today, which means it's going to be a good one. And which also means it's probably just going to ramble on and it might make no sense. It might make all the sense, but it might make no sense. So I'm excited for that. Sarah and I aren't hung over because we didn't drink last night, but we went to a wedding up in Monterey and we drank at the wedding and stuff. And so now it's just like, we're just like exhausted. So tired.

Can you hear me? Yeah, can you hear me? Yes. Hello. Okay. Welcome into the YFT podcast. Really the only guest we've ever really had on the show. Sarah Hyland.

Hello. Can I take one second to say something? Yeah. For the YFTers out there. Tell them. We are recording this very special episode of YFT on Wellesley's birthday. I know. I was talking to him earlier before you walked in. That's the last one of my 30s.

How do you feel about that? I don't love it. As you get older, you start realizing that the one commodity that was worth anything in life, time is running away from you. And that makes me depressed. But it's not one of my favorite things. I'm not going to lie about that. Really?

How time is money? That's the thing. You can't even buy time. Yeah. I guess you can buy a jet and that makes you get places faster which gives you more time i can't buy time you can save time yeah don't be depressed you're like let's go out to dinner let's do this and this and this i don't want to do anything i was going to ask you after we recorded this what do you want to do tonight i told you i want nothing i'm assuming we're just going to watch the jason

isabel documentary tonight no that's going to be even sadder, I think. Okay, then we won't do that. No, I'll tell you what we're going to do. We're going to watch Succession. Oh, yes, we have some stuff coming up. We're going to watch, I think we've got a Ted Lasso. We have a Lasso. I think we have a Last Thing He Told Me.

Oh, yes. Yeah, a silo. And a silo, yes. We're kind of ripping through all of our favorite things. Sorry. That's okay. But anyways, how have you been? I've been wonderful.

Yeah? I have. I've been with you. I know, but the YFTers haven't spoken to you in a while. Oh, yes. When was the last time I was here? It's been a while. It has been a while.

What's new? I don't know. I've just been a golf wife. Yeah. 2023, the year of the golf life for one Miss Sarah Hyland Adams. I'm so sorry for that. Don't apologize. I love it. That's kind of depressing because you don't even like golf. I mean, I'm here for it. We went and played Pebble Beach yesterday for my birthday and you rode around the car. Did you enjoy that? I loved every second of it. What was your favorite part? My favorite part of Pebble Beach yesterday for my birthday, and you rode around in the car. Did you enjoy that? I loved every second of it. What was your favorite part?

My favorite part of Pebble Beach? Yeah. My favorite thing about golf yesterday was when you birdied six. Thank you. Yes. That was my favorite part. Mine too. Because I knew how much it meant to you.

Yeah. And then 14 I birdied. Yeah. And our caddy said that I was the fourth person he's ever seen hit. The greens. Hit the green in two on 14. Yeah. Look at you.

God, that's so cool. Anyways, we should start the show. Let's start the show. Okay. Do you know how to do it? Boys and girls. No. Bros and hoes.

You're listening to another episode of your favorite thing podcast. With Wells and Sarah. On my birthday. On your birthday. Yeah, getting old kind of sucks. I got to be honest with you. And it's funny because I remember when I was in my 20s. Because I always looked young.

I don't know if I do so much anymore. You do. I still look relatively young. But I remember in my 20s, as I was building my radio career, that I was running into a lot of roadblocks because people were like, well, you're so young. You've got so much time. And I was like, I know I just look young. And I remember when I turned 30, I was like, good. I can say like, I'm 30 years old. Yeah, I deserve a raise now. What's going on here? But now 40s coming and that's not. That's not fine. No. I think for

someone in their last year of their 30s, I think you're doing pretty well. Yeah, I know. I think it's good. You've accomplished a lot. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe. All right.

Do it. Speaking of accomplishments, I don't know if you saw, but Paradise released. Who's going to be at Paradise this year? Today? Today. What a great birthday present. Yeah, and it was just me and Jesse. So apparently they need to do some more casting.

Apparently. It's just me, Jesse, and myself just drinking at the bar? We're like, where is everybody? I would watch that. It would be kind of funny. That would be hysterical. Just Jesse and I just getting wasted. I love the conversations between you and Jesse.

They don't almost ever show those though. Yeah, but I just mean like in real life. When we hang out with him. Yeah. I love those conversations between you guys. It's so interesting as a, as a bachelor nation viewer. It's very interesting.

Who would you want to see come back to paradise this year? Oh, you know how bad I am with people's names. Yeah. Okay. But you can give the nicknames that you always do. Yeah. Um,

let's see who was, you know who I would like to see come back to paradise. Genevieve. Yeah, I agree with that. I like to see come back to paradise? Genevieve. Yeah, I agree with that. I really want Genevieve to come back. Great TV. Super funny. Okay, here's who we had.

Uh-huh. Michael. He's off the mic. Yeah. Romeo. Okay. Come on. I mean, Romeo was...

Great television. The best. That poor guy. His facial expressions. He was the new facial expressions guy with the eyebrows. He replaced him in my eyes. But that guy did come. But he did come, yeah.

Romeo went to Harvard. Yeah. And looked like the dumbest guy ever on the beach. Okay, so I would like him to come back. Okay. Let's see. Logan. Logan and Kate had that kind of big mix up.

And I kind of felt bad for Logan. Yeah, that was weird. Yeah. That was very, very strange. It was hard to form an opinion on that because you're just kind of being pulled in all these different directions. Yeah. You had Brittany who was with Tyler. Uh-huh.

It was kind of like a weird bad breakup. Yeah, like there was like a London thing or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was like, fuck this, I'm going to Italy. Yeah. He's like, well, I have a job. I like to see her back and I'd like to see him back, just if nothing else for the drama.

Oh, yeah. Of it all. Well, if we're going to do that, then I want Aaron and Genevieve back. I know, but I think Aaron's got a girlfriend. Oh, man. I know. I guess good for him, but.

Yeah. And like he posts a lot about her, so I think that's like a thing. Oh,. I know. I guess good for him, but. Yeah. And like he posts a lot about her. So I think that's like a thing. Oh, that's so cute. Good for him. The guy that we were talking about with the facial expression

is Justin Glaze. Justin. We had Kira. She like left with Romeo and it was like weird. We had Hunter Haig. She was a blonde girl. Pretty girl.

Oh yeah. Yeah. I was thinking a guy for some reason. You know, I'm thinking of this past season of The Bachelor. Yeah. Can't wait to see Charity's Bachelorette.

Yeah. Because that's the thing. There's a whole bunch of guys that are going to come to Paradise that we're not privy to yet. No, I know. And it sucks. I went and had a meeting with the producers. And I was like, so when does Bachelorette air? Because it used to start airing around this time.

Yeah. I remember when I was on The Bachelorette, the first episode was supposed to air on my birthday. Yeah. Then it would go until through June or something. But you could watch at least the first like four episodes. Before going to Paradise. Before going to Paradise.

You have some like reference of who these people are. Now you can't do that. So you't like it was it was hard last year because they would give me like dossiers of like these people and you know it's like well i don't know who the villain is because i haven't watched the show yeah you know the thing is is that by the time that it airs for all of us viewers we'll already have our opinions what i feel bad for yeah who i feel bad for are the are the ladies that are coming to paradise because they won't know what these guys are like i know all i know that at all i feel really bad for that how are you supposed to go in there being like yeah i'd really like to know bob you know well and you can totally downplay something too because

be like so how what what happened like on your season like well you know i gotta gotten to gotten to a little tiff with one of the guys but like what's fine now and then you watch back and like a little tiff you guys were like in a huge fight and like you said terrible things to the bachelorette yeah it's gonna be interesting but um i'm excited for charity season to see what guys come out of that i haven't actually looked at i think they released like the you know those pictures and all this stuff of the guys from her season. So I guess we could form opinions on just one picture and a sentence of them saying, I like pizza. But I'm going to look at Bachelor at guys.

Okay. All right. It's got an Aaron B. Handsome. Aaron S. A lot of Aaron's this season. Handsome. Aaron D.

No, I'm kidding. Adrian. Close to Aaron. From North Hills Aarons this season. Handsome. Aaron D. No, I'm kidding. Adrian. Close to Aaron. From North Hills. A guy named Brandon. A guy named Braden. A guy named Caleb. A guy named Caleb.

but not us yeah well we don't really I don't have I met Colton? I don't really even think I have yeah maybe not there's so many weddings this year

everyone's getting married I know he's got back from one I am excited for Paradise though I think it'll be great same I'm excited for it I am too I think he's got back from one. I am excited for Paradise though. I think it'll be great. Same. I'm excited for it. I am too. I think that's probably enough. I'm going to come and visit. Yeah. You have some fave things bro? Fave things bro? Yeah.

Give it to me. Carmel by the sea. Well yeah. One of my favorite things. One of my favorite places. Place is pretty great. Place is pretty great. But if we're going for things that people can do in their homes right now, have you ever, well, I know that you've seen it, but Sins of Our Mother. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We talked about it last week. I'm not caught up. Yeah, no, it's okay. Darn it. But anyways, Brandon and I talked about Sins of Our Mother last night. Okay. Or last week. Okay.

And. Bonkers. Absolutely crazy. Bonkers. But the update is. Oh, yes yeah lori valo lori valo oh that bitch going jail she's on jail long time she guilty she guilty it's not funny because children died but like i'm glad that she's going to jail oh yes she's that seems like a terrible person you know the irony of of that whole thing is that she thought she was better than everyone because she was holier than thou and a higher level of religious existence.

Yeah. But the irony is that she was like a demon. Yes. You know? Yeah. She was saying that all of these people were being infiltrated by demons and they become zombies when she actually was. Yeah. Lady, you killed two kids.

You are an actual demon. Your children. Yes. Your ex-husband. Your ex-husband, who was so sweet, it seemed like. So sweet. Poor Charles Vallow. Yeah, anyways, everyone needs to go watch.

Tammy. Poor Tammy. She got smothered, I think. I think so. Anyways, I don't want to say too much of it, but Sins of Our Mother is insane. Everyone go watch it. And if you want to go a little bit deeper into

the LDS or the FLDS, go watch yourself some Keep Sweet Pray and Obey. Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is bonkers too. Warren Jeffs. Warren Jeffs.

So this is a documentary about this fundamentalist Latter-day Saints commune, effectively. Yeah. That was headed up by this one guy named Warren Jeffs, who's the prophet, who effectively is like, I think like for the Mormons, it's like their Pope. Like he can talk to God or whatever. He's the only one that can. Yeah. He had like 79 wives. Yeah.

He was marrying off all these girls who were like 14, 13. Oh, it's disgusting. And you think like, well, this is probably like in the fifties. No, this was like a couple of years ago. Yeah. Absolutely insane.

Goes and builds this huge commune in Texas. That was his biggest mistake right there don't mess with texas texas it's so sad but it's just so crazy like the indoctrination of these women yeah i think of everybody in that society one of the craziest things about it is you know they were like cutting out pages of like textbooks and stuff. So people can't learn anything. And one of the things that women absolutely can never learn is how you have sex. Or even anything about the reproductive system. Yeah.

So a lot of the women who get married off at like 13, they're like, we thought that you got pregnant by kissing. Yeah. Oh, poor babies. And then they effectively get raped. Yeah. And they, of course, have no understanding of what is happening to them. And they're just being told that it is deemed by God. Yeah.

Oh, God. And you got to watch it. He's so creepy. He's so creepy. But the end is like fucking hilarious because he's like in Vegas. I know. I got to cut that thing. It's like, what?

I thought you were a prophet. Holier than thou. Dude, keep sweet, pray and obey. Warren Jeffs, he's in jail for a long time. Yes. Yeah. For a really long time. He should be in jail for a long time.

I don't understand how more men from that FLDS compound are not in jail. Well, like he was setting up all these effectively arranged marriage with, like, 13-year-old girls to these other guys. Who were, like, 45. Those guys should go to jail, too. Yeah. I mean, yes, Warren Jeffs should go to jail, but so should those guys. All of those men should. Yes.

Ugh. Anyway, keep sweet prey in a bay if you want to feel sad. Yeah. That's it. Just examines the rise of Warren Jeffs in the fundamentalist church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and his shocking criminal case. Keep Sweet, Pray and Obey, only on Netflix.

We do need to talk about Silo. Oh, you haven't yet? No, because we've only watched one episode and i have a lot going on last week but silo is one of my new fave shows ding ding ding okay so it's on apple tv here's the tag men and women live in a giant silo underground with several regulations which they believe are in place to protect them from the toxic and ruined world on the surface the truth will surface silo on apple tv so the star is um rebecca ferguson who's kind of like in everything right now oh yeah right yeah she's

fantastic but she doesn't do a great american accent it's going in and out the irish comes out every once in a while it's going in and out just a little bit yeah who am i to judge though totally tim robbins is in it uh will patton is in it common is in it rashida jones so effectively all these people live in this gigantic underground silo and you they have like screens of like the outside looks like, and it looks like, you know, this kind of like a war torn, a post-apocalyptic world out there. If you say you want to leave, they call it cleaning where you like walk out,

like in like a whole- Astronaut suit. Yeah, like a space suit. And you're supposed to go clean like the camera so people can see outside better. And then everyone's like drops dead after they clean it because like it's toxic. But this Rebecca Ferguson, and because of this other guy who discovered like this old hard drive, starts to believe that that's not true. And they can go outside and it's like totally fine and beautiful outside and so you're just trying to decide whether or not like is it safe to go out or not yeah why are we being kept here yeah the classist system of it all and yeah all the trickle-down effects it's good it's so good it's good do you think like so we just watched the first episode but do you think that it is

clean out there i think it is clean out there? I think it's clean out there. Yeah. I think they're hiding something from them. But here's the thing though, when you see on the screen, like the person like collapse. Yeah.

So how do they do that? I mean, I guess CGI or something. Yeah. Well, don't you remember how the last episode ended? How did it end? It's clean out there. And the the air is perfect and there are birds. Oh, I know.

Uh, remember he takes off his helmet because he realizes maybe it's not outside. That's poison. Maybe it's what you're wearing. Oh yeah. That's what we said. We said that. That's what our,

that's what our theory is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Late spoiler alert. Well, it's first episode. So yeah. Anyways, silo the first episode, so. Yeah.

Anyways. Silo, The Truth Will Surface, Apple TV. Fantastic show. I have something that I can't remember because I didn't listen to last week's episode. Did you talk about Guardians of the Galaxy? No, we didn't because we were going that night. We saw, why I have tears,

Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 in IMAX. My favorite guardians of the galaxy volume three in imax my favorite guardians of the galaxy movie ever out of all three i think it's utter perfection i cried so many times but it's so funny and sad and like they're action scenes like guardians of the galaxy action scenes i think are some of the coolest when they go into the slow-mo and they go to all the people and everything it's just so iconic and what james gunn does is just i it's my favorite guardians of the galaxy james gunn is i think that this is his opus i think this is a perfect movie it's all rockets origin story and it's really sad you feel all the feels in this like

but I do think James Gunn is such a good storyteller. I think you're right. And then what I think James Gunn does really well is those like choreographed fight scenes with music. Oh yeah.

And how those intertwine together. Yeah. That's always to me like oh this is so good. But anyways Rockets story is so fucking sad. My favorite line in the whole thing is this line that, is it Lily? No.

Lila. Lila says to Rocket, and she says, you've been the star of this this entire time or something like that. Yeah. Where you're like, because in your mind, you're like Chris Pratt. Star Lord's the star. Star Lord's the star. And Gamora. And Gamora. And then you're like, oh in your mind, you're like Chris Pratt, Star Lord's the star, Star Lord's the star. And Gamora. And Gamora.

And then like, you're like, oh no, it was rocket all along. The entire time. Yeah. And they do a good job of explaining like why rocket's so fucking smart. I didn't,

I never really understood why rocket was like so good at like making gadgets and stuff. And, and then explains a lot like why he likes to steal people's like prosthetics and stuff anyways it is a beautiful film it's i think it's my favorite of all the marvels so far all marvels yeah i think i before i think it was like um infinity wars infinity wars was i thought was pretty good i think this is better it feels like more of a grounded film than an action superhero movie. Yeah. And that's because of them going into Rocket's past.

Warning for everybody, though. If you are a massive animal lover like Wells and myself, there are going to be some parts that are very hard to watch. Yeah. It's not easy. It's not easy. But in the end, it's worth it. I promise.

It is. And Groot's so great. Fucking Rocket's so great. And then, so, you know, this is kind of the end of this group of guardians. Yeah. Right? But then you get to see what the next iteration is going to be. Yeah.

And I was like, oh, I'm excited for the next version of this. Oh, yeah. I'm so excited. Yeah. Like the cast they've got and the guy, well, I guess we can say, should we not say that? That's a pretty big spoiler. Yeah.

Anyways, kind of the new leader I'm in for, like thumbs up. Thumbs up. Two thumbs up. Two big thumbs up for who like the next Star-Lord is. Oh, yeah. I mean, I could spoil this part. It's weird because we thought that Chris Pratt was done. Yeah.

Because they do, like, put a bow on the entire Guardians that they're all separating and everything. But then, you know how Marvel does the thing of, like, after the credits, there's a scene. And then after the credits again, there's another scene at the end of it it says star-lord will return yeah and like his own movie yeah but he kind of like what like what yeah love star-lord but like who's star-lord with it like who are these new characters yeah gonna be in star-lord's life totally i'm more excited for the new Guardians than I am for like a one-off Star-Lord movie.

I am too. Yeah. Anyways, Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. Go watch it. Go watch it in IMAX. Yes. It is fantastic. And James Gunn.

Chef's kiss. He is so good. You got to work with him one time. I know. I know. And we know someone who knows him. I know a lot work with him one time. I know. I know. And we know someone who knows him. I know a lot. What's going on?

I know. James follows me on Twitter. Oh, my God. Look at that. I know. I don't think he follows me on Twitter. Isn't James Gunn moving over to D.C.? He does both.

That's what's crazy. That's amazing. Good for him. And everyone's mad at him because they're like, you're like, Aquaman's gone and Batman's gone and Wonder Woman's like, you're changing all the roles. And it's like, okay, I don't know. I mean, got a maybe favorite book.

Okay. The one that we've been listening to? The one that we've been listening to? I don't know. It's called Local Missing Woman. Yeah. No, Local Woman Missing. Local Woman Missing.

Yeah. People don't just disappear without a trace. Shelby Tebow is the first to go missing. Not long after, Meredith Dickey and her six-year-old daughter Delilah vanish just blocks away from

where Shelby was last seen, striking fear in their once peaceful community. Are these incidents connected? Listen or read to find out. Local Woman Missing, written by Mary Kubica. It has 4.2 out of 5 on Goodreads, 4.7 out of 5 from Target,

and 5 out of 5 from Books a Million. It's getting really good reviews. Wow. And I will say, like, the beginning of this book is fucked up and, like, very good. Yes. Written very well, too. Wow. And I will say like the beginning of this book is fucked up and like very good. Yes. Written very well too. Yes.

And then all of a sudden it turns into it's very confusing. Yeah. There's some there's some female characters you're like I think they're making

some bad decisions here. It's very strange how the women are being represented in this book. And I'm wondering if it is because we listened to the first half of the book

on the way up, on the drive up to Carmel. Yeah. And then the second half of the book, we listened to hungover, driving home. So were our brains just not able to compute

the same way as they were before? I don't know. Or is it just kind of unraveling? Yeah. Here's the thing. We were making fun of it last night, but I still want to finish it. I want to know, like, what's the twist here? What's going on?

I need to know. I need to know. Anyways, check it out. Local Woman Missing. It's very good. I'm really excited for the ending. We have like an hour left, I think. Yeah.

We watched the newest Scream recently. Oh, yeah, we did. With Jenna Ortega, I think. Yeah. We watched the newest Scream recently. Oh yeah, we did. With Jenna Ortega, Courtney Cox, Hayden Panettiere. That's how you say it? I thought it was Panettiere. I grew

up knowing Hayden as Hayden Panettiere in New York, but I think she goes by Hayden Panettiere. I don't know. Oh yeah, she fancied it up. Maybe. Put an E on the end. Ed Dierte. Cult French.

Target. Dermot Mulroney's in it. Oh, yeah. And your good friend, Sam. Oh, yeah. Sam's in it. Yeah. She's in the beginning.

In the beginning. I really liked it. I did, too. I thought it was good. What is it? It's on Paramount? Yeah. You can watch it on Paramount Plus

or I think rent it on Apple or something like that. In the next installment, the survivors of the Ghostface killings leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter in New York City. Scream 6. That's a lot of screams. My thing about Scream is this.

Someone runs across ghost face killer and like they hit him with something and like knock him down and then they run away you need to stay on top of that motherfucker and keep on hitting him while he's down yes like hit him with like a frying pan fucking knocks his ass you know out. And then they're like, ah! And they run away. And then he gets up and he keeps on going. Yeah. Also, the other thing is, Ghostface Killer gets hit a lot, right? So many times. You think that someone would be like, dude, we hit him in the head.

Like, I know I hit him in the head. Everyone that is entangled in this story, come over here. Let me look at your heads and see if you have any bumps and bruises. You know? It's so true. Like, they're always like, I know you got smoked by a fuck.

You got stabbed. I remember, like, one time in the movie, Ghostface gets stabbed. If they weren't like, hey, let's everyone get together and let's see if you have any wounds. Yeah.

Case closed. Done deal. It's over. Also, when you hit him, fucking keep on hitting him. And baby, pull off the mask. Instead deal. Also, when you hit him, fucking keep on hitting him. And baby, pull off the mask. Instead of running away like a crazy person. Every time, it happens.

And I know that like, obviously, if that's the movie would be very short if someone just did that. But it's just something that's so frustrating. It's like, oh my God. If you just kept hitting him or like stepped on him. Yeah. You know? It's a thing. It's kind of like it goes back to the original scream,

you know, where it's like, I'm never going to be the woman who runs up the stairs. You have to run out the front door. And then what does she do? Run up the stairs. Yeah. After, you know, 30 minutes of the movies goes by and she's already said this

and then she goes and does exactly what she says you're not supposed to do. Yeah. I think that's like what it is about but that is so true. I never thought about the fact that like you probably

have a black eye from me hitting you in the face with a frying pan and you know that you see these people every day being like oh I wonder

who the killer is. Yeah. Well they even like all get together and they're like who could be the killer? Oh yeah. And you're like

why don't you just look to see who's got a wound? Yeah. Because Jennifer Tega stabbed him the other night. Yeah. I love screen movies. I love slasher films. It's a bit camp.

It's cute and it's fun. Yeah. It's good. It's good. Big twists. This one. Yeah. I loved it.

It was great. A lot of cool action things in it as well. Totally. Paying homage to all the screams from before. Yeah, it's good. If you're a scream fan, you definitely want to see this one.

Yeah. So you know how Jenna Ortega is going to be doing Beetlejuice too. Yeah. Very excited for that. I love me some Beetlejuice, but I saw like a clickbait thing the other day that she might not be able to continue on with the scream franchise because of Beetlejuice really yeah there's like they're like is will she be able to I don't know maybe it's like scheduling conflicts or something like that

well let me tell you something I would rather be in Beetlejuice and scream hell yeah I don't know like you can do multiple screams because part of what makes horror films great is like them kind of being shitty, right? Yeah. But Beetlejuice was so good. So good. And it's so hard to follow up a good movie like that. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

I'm excited, but I'm also nervous. I am too. But of course she's going to play Winona Ryder's daughter or something, right? I mean, you would assume so. I don't know what the plot is. Just as long as Keaton's back. That's all that. You can't make Beetlejuice without Keaton.

No. You cannot. At all. I got sent a funny review that I thought we should do. Oh, okay. Amazon review. Mini babies. Subject line.

Oh, I know this. 200 pieces. One inch mini plastic babies. For baby shower, ice cube games, tiny baby baby, party favor, supplies, decorations. Five stars. Verified purchaser. Subject line, yes.

Reviewed in the United States on January 7th, 2021. I bought these so I could hide them everywhere for my fiance to find. At first he thought... At first he thought it was a charming new bit of mine. He thought I only had one or two of these tiny plastic babies. He thought wrong. Hearing his deep, exhausted sigh followed by, Oh my God! Because he had found baby number 175 has brought me more joy than I could ever describe.

The fear in his eyes. The fear in his eyes when he opens anything because he's expecting a small plastic baby has produced more serotonin than you can imagine. He's a broken man. I have destroyed his hope of living, I have destroyed his hope of living a life free of tiny plastic babies.

We will be finding these tiny plastic babies for the next 70 years. I will purchase these again. I love that one so much. Oh, fuck. I can see you doing something like that to me. Well, remember when I used to hide my passport pictures all around?

Yeah, I took it. I know. I ran out of them. I need to hide my passport pictures all around? Yeah. I took it. I know. I ran out of them. I need to find some more. I still have one. Yeah. I used to put them in, by the coffee machine a lot. Yeah.

By my toothbrush. Yeah. Oh, I have one more. We started watching this recently. Jewish matchmaking. Yes. This is the funniest shit in the world. Jewish matchmaking.

Yes. This is the funniest shit in the world. Also, it's so weird that like, this is very much a thing in the Jewish community. Yeah, it has been forever. Fiddler on the roof. Exactly. Which is so funny to me and so interesting that like, it's like, I don't know,

go J-date, right? Yeah, but I get it. I get it. My favorite thing about this show is it's these guys and girls who have extremely specific desires. Yeah. They've got to be, of course, Jewish, but then they've got to be like the type of Jewish that they are. Like keep kosher or like, I don't know all the things, but like very, very specific. Yeah. And then there's this one guy who's not that good looking. Who's like, she's like, I don't know all the things, but like very, very specific.

And then there's this one guy who's not that good looking. Who's like, she's like, what do you want? And he's like, well, she needs to be a 10. And she's like, okay. I want her to have blonde hair and blue eyes and be from Israel. And it's like, bro, I don't think that's where the blonde people come from. I don't think there are blonde hairhaired, blue-eyed Israelites. Right?

I mean, I... I mean, I'm sure there are. Yeah. But that's needle in a haystack, man. Well, he also... Like, he doesn't want just a blonde-haired, blue-eyed lady. He wants... He keeps referencing supermodel. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And he wants a supermodel. Yeah. And, yeah. And he wants a supermodel. Yeah. And this poor matchmaker is trying her darndest to set this guy up. And so he sets her up with this woman that looks like freaking Gal Gadot. Yeah. She is so beautiful. She is very sexy. And he's just like, she's not my type but you know i'd sleep with her yeah

and it's like oh aren't you trying to find a wife bro like i feel like that is that is where it's like okay go to jj yeah you're obviously not taking this seriously yeah so i think when you're matched by a matchmaker you have to you know you have to go to them and be like, this is what I want. So it's almost as if it's like you're taking it more seriously to find your forever person if you go to a matchmaker. That's the way I view it. I assume you have to pay this person. Yes. Yeah, and it's probably not cheap.

I would assume not, no. It follows singles in the U.S. and Israel as they turn their dating life over to a top Jewish matchmaker. Jewish matchmaking on Netflix. I love it. Want to do blonde hair, blue eyes? Goodness. Kai, you want to go out on some news acts?

Sure. Yeah? Yeah. This song is like all over TikTok. I'm not sure if you've heard this, but it's really cute. It's called If I Were a Fish. What? If I were a fish and you caught me, you'd say, look at that fish, shimmering in the sun.

You'd win first prize if you caught me why is everybody on the internet so mean why is everybody so afraid of what they've never seen if i was scrolling through and i saw me flopping around and singing my song i'd say damn they're cute and sing along If I were a rock you would pick me Anyway, this is a TikTok viral very cute song.
