smack, boom. That little little app. Wang, wang, womb. That little burp. Okay,

she's not picking up. Hello. Oh. Oh, I'm so backlit. Great lighting. You know what? I didn't choose the awful LED lights in this house.

I mean, you got your dog in the background. I got my dog in the background. Yours is not real. My dog is real. It's just downstairs. This is just a painting of him. But little Astro Girl behind you is absolutely the cutest freaking thing I've ever seen in my entire life. Isn't she so cute?

I think it's you. Bros and hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with Wells and Brandy. Brandy, it's official what is i am an old person now oh yeah same no i am officially an old person here's my i want everyone to know my stats okay Okay. Okay. Your boy under 10% body fat. All right. Runs four to five miles a day. Eats pretty fucking healthy. Okay. My resting heart rate when I sleep is under 40. And your boy has blood pressure higher than, I don't know, Kanye West's PR manager. Okay?

So last week, I was back in Monterey, quarantined away from Sarah, right? And so I went and got a COVID test. And I don't know if you guys have taken COVID tests where they take your blood pressure, but they do that. I don't know. They want it to be as stressful as possible, you know? Not only are they they gonna fuck your nose and just break your nose hymen so hard

but they also want to check your blood pressure because they want to see how terrified you are so i am sitting there by the way so i go i go i go to get this test done and there's a woman who is, I think, what's someone that thinks they're always sick but they're not sick? Hypochondriac? Hypochondriac, yes. I think she was a hypochondriac. She was in a wheelchair, but I totally saw her jump up and walk to the bathroom. I'm like, what's going on here? What?

Yeah, she was like, oh, and I got to the bathroom and she jumped up and walked to the bathroom. I was like, what is this wheelchair for? I don't understand. She was sitting there. She had a driver. This was her like her nurse. Right. And she couldn't find her nurse's phone number in her phone of which she was like on an iPhone. And she was had one of those stylists and she was trying to find the number and she couldn't find the number. So then she called someone. She fucking used the stylist and remembered someone's number and called them, was like, hey, I don't know my nurse's number.

Can you call them and tell them I'm ready to go? So this was taking forever, by the way. So the nurse could come and get her in the wheelchair that she was, she popped out of, whatever. So anyways, I was sitting there at 1.30.

I was like, okay, by two o'clock, I'll be out. I'll have my test results. I'm be back in la okay it's now 2 30 i haven't even gotten the test yet my blood is boiling they come over finally they put the thing around my arm they take my blood pressure the lady goes you have high blood pressure i goes yes i know it runs my family it's fine i go get my nose hymen broken all All right. Bleed everywhere. Then the nurse comes in and she goes, doctor, you need to look at this.

My blood pressure was at 161 over 119. This is awful, but what's normal? 120 over 70, I think. Or eight. 120 over 80, 120 over 70. I don't know. I've never sniffed those numbers. I don't even know. So the doctor's like, bro, you. I don't know. I've never sniffed those numbers. I don't even know.

So the doctor's like, bro, you are a walking heart attack. And I'm like, I ran four miles this morning just for funsies. All right. I had a kale salad before I came in here. What you talking about? And he goes, dude, it has nothing to do with how healthy you are. Bro, my resting heart rate when I sleep is under 40. I have a runner's heart. What are you talking about? He goes, it's nothing to do with that. You have high blood pressure. You're a walking heart attack.

And I'm like, well, I gotta drive back to LA. He goes, no, you're not. You're not going anywhere, son. What? He gives me one of his blood pressure medication pills from his own fucking reserves.

No way. They can't do that. It's what happened. And he goes, I'm writing you a prescription. You need to go down to the pharmacy right now and get this medication. And also, you're not allowed to drive back because you're going to have a heart attack on the drive back to L.A. No.

Tell him this is what happened. I had to stay a couple extra days, which was wonderful. Now I'm on blood pressure medication. I have to take my blood pressure every, like, couple hours. All right. I'm telling you my blood pressure every like couple hours, all right? Yikes. I'm telling you, man, I'm old. And now I have to go to a cardiologist. I feel like I need to go to a cardiologist.

I gotta go to a cardiologist now. I gotta go to a cardiologist on the 9th. They gotta do a blood panel because my kidneys might be fucked. I don't even know what's happening here. So all that to be said, guys, eat whatever the fuck you want. Don't work out.

Because guess what? Don't matter. I'm letting myself go. Don't care. I've been slaving over the freaking Peloton and the row machine and running the four miles every day. It doesn't change anything, Brandy.

So I'm old. I don't know what to tell you. Tish the Dish has high blood pressure. Does she? Yeah. Maybe it's people who are just- Awesome. And beautiful have high blood pressure.

And that's just what's happening. Like, it's like God's way of being like, we got to bring this guy down a peg. Okay? Okay.

Did you watch the Golden Globes on Sunday? No one watches the Golden Globes. I watch the Golden Globes. That's because Sarah's on it. Yeah, no, she took my job. I saw that.

Took my job and got paid more money. A little hurt. She did a great job, by the way. My only takeaway from the Globes this year is Jason Sudeikis is the greatest man alive. And I love him so much. Did you at least see what Jason Sudeikis was wearing? I literally saw nothing except a clip of Sarah on the red carpet. Okay.

Love her red hair, by the way. Love. Yeah. I love when she mixes it up. It's like, ooh, who's this? Who's this lady living with me now? You know, they had to Zoom the whole thing, and Jason Sudeikis was in a tie-dye green hoodie. No.

Pretty sure he was the most baked ever. His acceptance speech makes zero sense for like the first like three minutes. So much so that Don Cheadle was also on the Zoom call that didn't win. He goes, wrap it up. Start wrapping it up. zoom call that didn't win and he goes wrap it up start wrapping it up so anyways i am excited though because sarah was working the show it forced us to watch a lot of the movies that we've been like putting off and we've got a i've got a lot of really good fave things this episode great yeah a lot of good movies i'm excited for First of all, did you win the horse showed?

You don't understand the amount of messages in my inbox saying that exact thing. Yeah. Everyone's like in, in Wells's words, did you win the whole horse show? It's not my words. It's your words.

You told me I'm going to go horse showed. And then that's just now the words that I use. I said, I horse showed not. I'm going to. No, it's funny. That's a mix of tense and words. Did you win the horse showed or not?

That's still not a thing, but my horse was really good. So I did one warmup class on Thursday, and then I only really competed in two classes, one on Saturday, one Sunday. I was second on Saturday, had a great round. And it was my first time to show Star on the grass field. I don't know if you watched any of my story, but at most of these horse shows, you're riding in a sand ring. That's like the norm. When there is a big grass field, it's usually saved for the biggest classes of the show. Like they just don't usually let the amateurs jump on the grass, but we got to it this show. And that is the first time I've ridden Star

on the grass. It rides a lot different when you're on the turf than the sand and she loved it she was awesome we jumped clear on saturday and then on sunday is the classic is the what the classes that goes on sunday it's the one where you win a little bit of money um big deal you wear white pants braid your horse the whole deal. And the course was so long. There were so many jumps. Like normally there's only like nine or 10 efforts in a round. And then depending on what type of class it is, sometimes you have a little jump off with like three or four more efforts.

The classic, when I was walking and I was like, how many freaking jumps are there? There were like 13 efforts in the first round, which is so many. And then the jump off had like six or seven efforts. It was crazy. So only one horse went double clear and it was not me. I went clear in the first round. And then I had two rails in the jump off, unfortunately, because I was trying to take a really tight turns and I wasn't being careful and I knocked a couple of rails, but I was still third because that's how hard the course was that only one person managed to leave all the

rails up in both rounds. So super happy. But we have another week next week. I'm staying for one more. So I'm gutting for that first place baby next Sunday. Congratulations. Very proud of you for doing such a good job in horse showeding. All right.

You took my advice. You took the hard lines, which I told you to do. I'm just happy that you cleared those efforts that first time. We're going to work on the second time. That's fine. Thanks, Wells. Should we start with Batch or what do you want to do? I think so.

I think it's good to get it out of the way. Ladies, tell all. Super weird that they didn't have a studio audience. Yeah. In those times, I'm like, why didn't you guys just invite me in there out of COVID tested? And now they'd be like the one guy like,

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha oh my gosh seriously though yikes i mean what's your takeaway from it all the first like 10 minutes or so i was like is it just me or is this the most edited women tell all i've ever seen like there were a lot of weird cuts and like weird like pans to girls faces where they're just like smiling and it's really out of context to whoever's talking. Like it was weird. It was very edited. Okay. Also just like really cringy. Like yes, there's always moments in the women tell all

because it's especially the women's tell all because there is so much drama. But this one, it was just like the whole time I was just like so tense. My shoulders were like up to my knees and I'm just like, I feel so awkward for everyone right now. Who did you feel the most awkward for?

Probably Anna, just because, God, she just messed up so bad and looked so bad. And all she could do is sit there and just say like, yeah, I messed up bad. And that sucks. But at least she did do that and didn't pull what was the guy was a joseph that like refused to acknowledge that he fucked up yeah at least she didn't pull one of those also victoria like and victoria the opposite where she kind of refused to acknowledge how ridiculous she was yeah like i think the problem problem with Anna is that her face already looks like she's like, oh, you know, like, oh, no, I said that that way. So her face already looks like that.

And then hearing her be like, I've got no excuse. Sorry. Also bad form. Wait, the show's been airing this entire time and you didn't reach out to the girl that you made up this rumor about to be like, hey, sorry about that. Can we bury the hatchet or like what do you want me to do can i make a donation in your name to a charity of your choice like what can i do to make this better um okay so here's the first thing at the end of it you see how insecure victoria is like you can it's it's almost like it's not fun to make fun of her because it's so telegraphed as to like her issues.

Why she is the way she is because her insecurity is just so rampant. But her gaslighting, Katie, her gaslighting, whoever it was. Ryan was the one she was really gaslighting. Yeah, she was like, so are you super sensitive? Yes, I'm Ryan. Are you super sensitive? What? What are you talking? How are you super sensitive ryan are you super sensitive what what are you talking how are you turning this around on ryan here this is you you you've done this to yourself yeah i know and then she did if her minute was like you know she was like well i've

been bullied ever since this show aired and i'm not crying about it was like her kind of thing yeah and she was like she was like yeah like i like my bra show like big deal okay there's a difference between the stylist she hired to dress her for that night because that bra showing was that was a fashion statement yeah the stuff we saw on the show was not a fashion statement i think it was an accident. Yeah, it was a fashion faux pas. Yeah, it was insane. But I don't know, like it was just painful to watch her just really not take responsibility for the way she acted. But I also didn't really expect her to, so. Yeah, it would have been weird if she all of a sudden was like media trained and like did the thing that we all thought she would, which would be like eat crow.

You guys are right. I was wrong wrong i was being an idiot yeah it'll be interesting to see if she goes to paradise what that's like my only other thing was in terms of the drama whoever thought it was a good idea to come after katie after seeing the edit katie got i'm sorry i have very little sympathy for you if you get shit now because america loves katie and you're doubling down on being like katie you are starting the fires katie you are starting the pot like this is on you katie like why were you doing this hold on read the room guys chelsea i i didn't even know chelsea was like a part of all that drama but chelsea either chelsea doubling down being like this is on you katie it was like read the fucking room america loves dildo girl what are you doing i was just shocked by it i

don't know like everybody was ganging up on her a bit and i did think it was a little unnecessary unnecessary i think it's stupid like you're not going to change public perception of this woman especially in this setting katie i mean they played it well for her like they let the women kind of have the floor to do all that and then brought katie up and basically like gave her another highlight reel right after like showing her journey and letting her kind of speak on her departure and everything so at least her time on that episode was like bookended by TV greatness. I'm excited to meet Matt's dad. I'm wondering who's making him cry on the sidewalk.

I know. I think it's Matt's dad that makes him cry on the sidewalk and not one of the girls. That's possible. What do you think about Matt's beard? I bet you, you like Matt's beard. I do like it. Yeah, I know. I know you.

I know you. All right. Well well i'm excited for uh i guess the next episode see what happens who do you think he's gonna end up with the next episode's the finale right yeah i guess oh my gosh i don't know i personally would like to see him end up with michelle she's probably my favorite of the three left but that preview for next week it showed more of brie than we've like seen this whole freaking season and it does seem like they have really great chemistry so i don't know i don't really know part of me feels like he likes rachel the best but i i feel like she's like a ticking time bomb and she's gonna like freak out and explode and leave or something. We'll see.

I don't know. I don't think he ends up with anybody. That's my thought. Yeah, I could see that for sure. I'm just excited that Manuel is going to be hosting AFR as a sports dork in me. Like, I'm a big fan of his. He's on Fox Sports 1. And then he wrote like a really cool book called Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man.

And I believe that he's also kind of like turned that into a show as well with like really good interviews because of everything that's happened and everything that's come out i honestly think that regardless of like however you feel he's the right person to probably moderate something like this you know for sure so i think that was a really good move by ABC and NZK Productions. So I just wanted to applaud them for that. I'm excited to see how he does. And you know what? One of the reasons why we all liked Matt being the Batser is that he wasn't really a part of the franchise beforehand.

I was just about to say that. Yeah. And it'll be kind of nice to have someone host that maybe is going to see this through the prism of someone not in bachelor nation which will be refreshing you know agree so i'm sure people will get mad for me saying that but i that's how i feel you got some fave things bro oh look at you i have a lot of fave things. Great. Because all I've done is horse show. I know. I know. I did watch Bachelor.

That's true. We should change the name to Wells' Favorite Things and Brandy's Two Cents on said things. I talked about it. And I very rarely, like, post my favorite things on my Instagram stuff. Because I feel like that takes away from this show. If you want to really know the shit I'm into, I want you to listen to this show. But the book I'm reading, Beneath the Scarlet Sky, is so good that I had to post about it. And I'd already talked about it on the podcast. I still haven't even finished the book. It's

quite dense. I got to say, it's one of the best books I've ever read. It's getting to that point. Wow. The way that I described it last week, I was so early on that I didn't really know the scope of it all. It has transformed and morphed into an even more compelling and amazing story about effectively being a spy for the nazis in italy during world war ii and this guy's story is just so insane and so fucking cool that i'm doing it again second week and you know i'll probably finish it and next week i'll be like you should read this book but anyways beneath the scarlet Sky is just so good. Is it a new book or has it been out for a while? 2017 was released and Tom Holland is going to be playing the lead, which is a guy named Pino in the movie or series or whatever.

Anyways, it's phenomenal. And I don't like, you know, it's nonfiction. That means it's real. And I don't like, you know, it's nonfiction. That means it's real. And I don't really like historical novels generally. Like I'm just, that's not my, I'm sci-fi and Stephen King guy. But this book is just so good. I've seen a lot of people post about it recently. And I even saw a girl at the horse show with it.

So I don't know if it was just because I heard you say it last week that all of a sudden it was, you know how that is. Sometimes like you hear about something and then all of a sudden it's everywhere. But I have seen a lot of people are reading it right now. Maybe that is because of the series that they announced. But I definitely want to read it. I'm excited. So let me know next week how you liked the end. My other thing is I just want to do a quick rundown

about the challenge, okay? Which I'm absolutely obsessed with. And guys, like if you guys are not watching the challenge, I don't even know what you're doing number one favorite thing whoever is in charge of the music in this season the challenge is just killing it at life such great music the thing about mtv that no other network has is they've got this like ingrained deal with all publishers that they can play anything without, I think, any consequences. What? Is that true? I think so, because it's still technically music television.

You know, like you have to buy rights to songs for, you know, if you're in like This Is Us or whatever, like network shows. MTV's just playing the Rolling Stones and the Killers, and you're just like, how are you getting away with this? That's number one. Number two. Can I just get a quick ding for CT and Big T? The greatest duo since, I don't know, peanut butter and jelly.

Since Mac and cheese. Uh-huh. Since, I don't know, what's another good one? Since vodka and soda, okay? I thought you were going to say vodka and cranberry. No, I'm not that base they are the cutest freaking team i've ever seen that last challenge where they hung from a helicopter on the rope and big t and ct is holding on for fucking dear life he's just like his fat ass he's like i don't want to fall off and then big t's just like all fat ass. He's like, I don't want to fall off. And then Big T's just like all smiles.

It's like, this is fun. I'm playing with a helicopter. And then drop into the water. CT's swimming like crazy. Big T's like, I'm scared of the water. They beat everyone. She's like, I should have told you all that I was on swim team. And I used to do pole dancing.

It's like wait what you didn't tell it it was like slumdog millionaire all like perfect things happened in your life to make this challenge the easiest thing in the world and you guys win i love you so much the best also lolo jones kind of a quitter i don't know what's happening i'm not you're falling with the whole lolo jones thing but lolo jones first of all, mentions that she is an Olympian every second she gets, and then she quits, and I don't know what's happening there. Now she's saying that that production made her quit. I'm just going to say this. As someone who is on a competition show for money, okay, I just want to say this out loud to all the challengers, challenge folks out there, why I call BS on this Lolo Jones thing.

And I wasn't even on the challenge. I was on a cooking show, which is like stakes much lower, a lot less money's involved. But if you do a television show where you are competing for money, there are game makers there and lawyers and overseers making sure that shit isn't rigged because they can be taken to court for fucking rigging the system. Okay. And I know for a fact that that show is like ultra sensitive about that. And that girl leaves the show. And then she comes out this last week and says that the show made her quit. I think is total bullshit because if that were true, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen and that's not what Viacom needs ever.

So call them BS, all right? You quit, you couldn't handle it. That's what it is, okay? Sorry. I do hope you win a gold medal though for the US, but I don't believe what you're saying. Anyways, the challenge, so great. You are more

passionate about this show than anything I've ever heard you talk about on YFT. I gotta be honest with you. It is, right now, it's my favorite show on television. Like, I'm the most excited. I'm the most excited for the challenge. And I can't believe, like, I've been sleeping on the challenge for so long. And I love the fact that, like, I'm close

with Johnny now, because I can text him and be like, what do you think about this? Because he's not on this season, but I'm like, what's going on here? What's your behind-the-scenes thoughts here? Does he still watch it? He's the most decorated challenge winner ever. So he's like me with The Bachelor. I think he kind of has to watch it because it's kind of a part of his brand now. But so great.

I'm dying to hear about your Golden Globe movie recommendations. Okay, then I want to start out with my favorite. Okay. Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is absolutely amazing. It is a famous Broadway production, and I didn't know that because I'm an idiot. Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman. Ugh. Witt Boseman. Right off the bat, Chadwick Boseman is going to posthumously win an Oscar for this.

I say that not because Chadwick Boseman died and everyone feels bad and they want to give him an Oscar because he's no longer with us. I say that because his performance is fucking amazing. I want to see it so bad. To say that I thought that Chadwick Boseman was like out acting Viola Davis. Yeah. I don't know if I think that's really true. They're both just amazing, but like, I don't know. It's hard to like almost upstage Viola Davis. You know, that's, I guess that's my thought on it. Here's the tag. During a recording session, tensions rise between Ma Rainey, her ambitious horn player and the white management determined to control the uncontrollable mother of the blues. I went to Ole Miss. I was a broadcast journalism major, English minor with an

emphasis in blues anthropology. And I'm very upset with some of my team. I'm going to blame this on other people because I learned a lot about blues music and blues history, and I didn't do a whole lot of research on Ma Rainey. So I love this because it was like, I didn't know this story. It's originally a play on Broadway that they've now adapted to film, and it is all just one day. It's just one day of them recording really one record, but mainly one song, which was called Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. She's the mother of the blues. She's just calling all the shots. And then Chadwick's character is young, really ambitious horn player that has ideas about how the music should sound. And he's kind of new age and progressive. And Ma's, we're going to do it the original way. And then,

of course, there's just a lot of racial undertones because, of course, we're going to do it the original way. And then of course, there's just a lot of racial undertones because of course they're recording for this big record label. And the record label is being run by this one white guy and her manager is a white guy. And so there's tensions there. The ending is insane. It is beautiful. And I will say say this and i don't know if people like this or not but it's an hour and a half and i love a good concise movie you know i don't need a two and a half hour thing i agree with you two hours is like that's like that's pushing it but two and a half is like it kind of loses me yeah but it was one of those movies where when it ended i was like no that's it no i want more.

You know, it wasn't like, all right, I can go to bed now or whatever. The movie is just perfect. The wardrobe is amazing. The acting is just ridiculous. Like the whole the music's phenomenal. Dude, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is going to win all the Oscars, by the way. So just get ready. All right.

Did you get a screener of that or? No, it's on Netflix, I think. Oh, OK. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Netflix. Phenomenal film. The other one we watched was Judas and the Black Messiah. Have you heard of that one? Is that on Netflix? No, it's on HBO Max. Oh, I think I've just come across it, but I have not watched it yet. I didn't know this story. Again, like this is one of those things where I'm like, I didn't know this i'm this is so interesting to me and fucked up here's the tag bill o'neill infiltrates the black panther party per fbi agent mitchell and j edgar hoover as party chairman fred hampton ascends falling for a fellow revolutionary in route a battle wages for o'Neill's soul, Judas and the Black Messiah. So basically what it's

about, the main character is Bill O'Neill, who's played by Lakeith Stanfield. He was in Knives Out and Selma. What he's known for is in Get Out. And so like basically he gets caught impersonating an FBI agent to steal a car. And then the FBI bring him in and they make him infiltrate the Black Panthers and basically use him to bring down the Black Panthers. So he's Judas and he's bringing down the Black Messiah, whose party chairman is Fred Hampton, who's Daniel Kaluuya, who is in Black Panther, also in Get Out, in Sicario, which I talked about last week. And it's a true story. Like, I didn't know this is how they did this. And it's like really fucked up. What the FBI kind of does to this Bill O'Neill character is really messed up. And then the end is crazy because then you get to see interview with the real guy.

Oh, you do? Yeah. And then you find out like what they do this documentary about him in like the 70s and then you you see him like actually talk about it and then you find out like what happened to him afterwards you're like whoa judas and the black messiah is really really good but heavy okay highly recommend also a lot of oscars are going to be given out in that for that film the last one is one night in miami and i wish this one were true like i wish this didn't really happen because it'd be so much cooler if it did and i watched the entire thing being like this fucking happened this is so fucking cool you thought it was real yeah like have you seen this one no i haven't okay i have seen movies like that where i i thought it was real? Yeah. Have you seen this one? No, I haven't. But I have seen movies like that where I thought it was a true story and you find out it's not. You're like, what?

Well, because all the characters are real people and they were all around during the same time. So I'm like, surely this really happened, you know? So here's the tag. A fictional account of one incredible night where icons Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, and Jim Brown gather discussing their roles in the civil rights movement and cultural upheaval of the 60s. Obviously, Muhammad Ali is like one of the greatest boxers of all time. Malcolm X, everyone knows Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, best singer ever. Jim Brown, one of the best running backs ever. It all kind of predicates around a fight that Muhammad Ali is doing in Miami. After the fight, they all come together and it's them

talking about the civil rights movement. I was like, oh my God. The whole time I was like, oh my God, this is so cool. I can't believe this happened. And then we were watching the Golden Globes and they're like, one night in Miami, a fictional account. I'm like, wait, whoa, whoa, in Miami, a fictional account. I'm like, wait, well, hold on. Whoop, whoop, whoop. Fictional. Guys, wait, what?

I thought it was real. Is that real? Oh, come on. The cast is really, really good. Mainly the guy that plays Sam Cooke is Leslie Odom Jr., who is in Hamilton. The guy that plays Muhammad Ali does a really good job of being Muhammad Ali, which is, I think, a very hard thing to do

because everyone knows what Muhammad Ali sounds like. Everyone knows Muhammad Ali's which is, I think, a very hard thing to do because everyone knows what Muhammad Ali sounds like. Everyone knows Muhammad Ali's mannerisms, you know, his crazy rants and everything, the way he talks. And it was just so cool. So anyways, really cool period piece. Obviously, these are all obviously

like very socially thought provoking, especially in this time. They all are coming out like in a, I think in a perfect time for our country. But yeah, One Night in Miami. Go check it out. That's on Prime, by the way. Oh, nice.

That one sounds really good. Yeah. Leslie Odom Jr. is just, you're just like, whoa, dude. And his singing is so good. And to beat, to try to sing like Sam Cooke, it's like being Muhammad Ali.

Yeah. So those are my movies. Those are all going to win i think a bunch of oscars as they should they're fantastic so check it out love it did you finish your honor no okay did you i think so i don't know i don't know if it's the last episode or not i've been up and down on this show but every time there was a new episode i desperately wanted to watch it so i think that means i was always up on the show it's just really hard to break out of breaking bad i just that's just the problem is that i guess so the end of it is crazy really apropos i, I suppose. I think it's the ending. And then I was like, so what do you think for next season, Sarah?

And she goes, it's a limited series, dude. It's over. That's it. I was like, wait, what? There's not. So you wanted a second season? Yeah. I want to know what happens next.

Because you haven't seen the end of it. No. I just like, it really lost me. I was trying so hard to stay on it. And I just was struggling. Which sucked because it started out so good. It ends pretty good. I got to be honest with you. It ends pretty well. I do want to know what happened. I don't know. You got to check it out. Okay. I haven't had a chance to start it yet, but I mentioned last week that a lot of people had recommended behind her eyes to me yeah and i got

flooded with messages from the yf tears saying that that i absolutely have to watch it apparently it's getting rave reviews um i don't know i i felt like i had heard like mixed reviews from people about it maybe being like really dark and hard to watch i don't know the yf tears are saying it's it's a must watch. So that one's definitely on my radar too to start. Have you watched any of Stanley Tucci's Searching for Italy on CNN?

I don't watch Gable at all. Well, anyway, Stanley Tucci has basically a travel show. You know who Stanley Tucci is. He's the actor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got a travel show

and obviously Stanley Tucci ending with a vowel is Italian. And so it's just him going to Italy and eating food and drinking wine. And it's great because he's just so lovable and interesting and kind of like suave, but also so jealous of Stanley Tucci because it's the best job in the world. I mean, that does sound like the dream, a travel show. I know.

I got to pitch one of them. Tizzle and I are also trying to pitch one of them. Oh, nice. We'll bring you along. Just join forces. Yeah, bring me along. I do have a complaint. Oh, you do?

I've got a couple of complaints here. Okay. I kind of love when you have a complaint. It's pretty entertaining. Yeah. Hey, smoke detectors. Okay. I kind of love when you have a complaint. It's pretty entertaining. Yeah. Hey, smoke detectors.

Do you think that your clients are all fucking running on sonar? Are we all bats that we know exactly where the fucking ping is coming from? Are we whales that can fucking use sonar location to find what exact fucking disk of terrifying beeps that three in the morning is coming from no we're not okay i'm fine with you having the noise because it's so annoying that you had to change the battery i'm totally fine with that you're trying to save lives but can we also have a light that fucking flashes a color that we know that that's the one that we got to change so we don't look like total dipshits walking around being like, wait, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. Beep.

Not this one. Fuck. And walking around. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. And why do they always go off at three in the morning? Oh, always. Why?

Why? Every single time one of my smoke detectors is at a low battery, it's been the middle of the freaking night. Gotta be. My other thing is, if you're going to have a package, you know when you have to open the package and there's like a little perforated edge? And then you pull it. Yeah, open here. Yeah, yeah. And then you pull it.

Yeah. Have you ever had one where you pull it and it doesn't reach the opening and then you're just really fucked? Yeah. I mean, you guys had one job. Your one job was to cut a little notch a little bit lower than the opening of everything. And you fucked that up. I don't even know how you fucked that up. You got machines that are doing this to make it work.

Or you have someone that fucking watches or has a little piece of scissors and then everything that comes off the ceiling line goes, okay, well, that's where it's open. So it's a little bit below that. Then boom, bang, bing. Everyone can open their shit. But no, you got to be an asshole and you tear the whole thing. Then you're like, fuck, I can't get into this now. I got to find scissors.

Thank you. Do better. This is a very specific complaint. It just happened to me. I was having some salmon. I'm back on the salmon, even though we gave him bubble guts two weeks ago I'm back on baby you ain't bringing me down oh god

so what do you have high blood pressure all those bubble guts pressing you out should I do my blood pressure like right on this because I guarantee this show raises my blood pressure like crazy do it right now okay hold on let me go get the thing this show raises its blood pressure Crazy. Do it right now. Okay, hold on. Let me go get the thing.

This show raises its blood pressure. I'm diseased. It's going to be so high because I ran down there. Look at that fancy, fancy blood pressure cuff. All right, here we go. Here we go, guys. LOL, that YFT raises your blood pressure. Let's put bets on what do we think this is going to be? Well, what was it when you got the COVID test?

160 or something? Yeah, over 119, which is not that. By the way, I did take a fucking blood pressure medication pill this morning. So it probably won't be that bad. I'm hoping for 140 or 85. That's what I was thinking, 140. 140 over 85. Let's hope for it.

160 over 96. See, that's not good. And I took a fucking blood pressure medication. This show gives me stress. Damn, it's not good at all. Can't wait to hear all the YFTers be like, you have bad blood pressure. You're a terrible.

I got one more. Oh, okay. I've been sleeping on tzatziki for way too long. The like restaurant? No. So it's like a Greek yogurt dip that is in a lot of falafels or gyros and stuff. Oh, okay. If you just get like a little, like a tortilla or you're supposed to, you know, dip pita into tzatziki.

And I just recently started getting that dip. Bomb.com? Bomb, dudes. Don't sleep on tzatziki or tzatziki. I don't know if I'm saying it right. It doesn't really matter. I don't think either. So I'm down here in Gulfport and we went to a crawfish boil.

I know you do these sometimes, don't you? I love a crawfish boil. I am so disturbed. And I know what you're, I already know you're going to say this happens to other animals. I'm so disturbed that you boil them alive to eat them. Yeah. So that's so sad. Like I went, first of all, I don't eat crawfish. I've never tried it. Can't do it because their little eyes are just looking at you, even though they're dead. But now that I know they were boiled alive, it's like they're looking at me while they're dying. And it's too much for my heart to handle.

I can't handle it. Have you ever had lobster? That's what they do with lobster. I mean, I've had lobster like in a sushi roll. And now I'm devastated about that, too. Yeah. So that's the only new food I've been around, I feel like. Yeah.

Do they do that to crabs? Yes. Oh, so sad. Isn't there any other way? I think it kills them pretty fast. So it's like the same as like putting a knife through their brain. Oh, let's try it on you and see how it works. Well, no.

Do you have anything else? Do you have any musics or anything? Let me see if I do some musics. All right. I've got covers for days, baby. Pull up the covers. We're going to have a nice little warm morning. Okay. Nothing but covers today. There's a bunch of really good music out, by the way. Great. I want to start with Clem Snide and Eve Barsley, which by the way, was a huge fan of these guys and their bands back in Nashville. This is them covering journeys faithfully and I'm all about it. So pull up the covers, baby. Right down the line it's been you and me And loving a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be Oh girl you stand by me

Duh I think that's cool. Very interesting, but yes, cool. Last one, I saw that Brandi Carlile did a cover of I Put a Spell on You. I put a lying, you know I can't stand it You running around, I can't stand it The way you put me down, I put a spell on you Because you're mine spell on you because

you're mine because you're mine I once interviewed Brandi Carlile about her early days in the music industry and people tried to change the way she sounded. And that blows my mind that someone was like, you should sound a different way. What?

What does she sound like? Not the greatest fucking singer? What? Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah. People are stupid. What do you got? Yep.

I really like the new Nick Jonas song. It's called Spaceman. I've always thought Nick J was a vibe. I don't know. I mean, he's no Kevin, but it's fine. I forgot. Kevin's your favorite. Kevin's my boy.
