Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Buckle your seatbelt, today’s a good d!ck day

Episode Date: June 19, 2019

Today on YFT, Brandi may be back on America soil, but Wells calls in from Mexican Paradise! The hosts forever rest the case on why Luke P is such an a$$hole and what he has in common with a French dictator, and Wells relays his theory on why Hannah puts up with him. He also shares that this year’s BIP is going to be the best ever (coughcoughmost dramatic), and he and Brandi decide that BIP will for sure soon be the most popular Bachelor franchise show. For all the female listeners, Wells also reveals that penises don’t always look the same and why he likes tacos better than (some) blow jobs. Meanwhile, Brandi shares her disgust on OJ’s recent Twitter rant, how much she misses her Nokia flip phone, the details on Miley’s Black Mirror episode.

I'm good. Yeah? Yeah. Hold on. What? I got my bell. Oh, yeah. I don't have one. Okay. Got it. Woo-hoo. That's loud as all hell. Is it? Is it? Yes. It's a bit hot. Hot mic.

Very. Okay. I'm glad that we're starting the podcast late because Brandy had to go on a hike with her sister. I did. And then we had a little food after and my mom joined us and they just started talking and talking and talking. And I'm like, guys, 15 minutes. Guys, 10 minutes. Guys, 8 minutes. 5. And, of course, we're still late.

I'm sorry. All good. It was Tish the Dish, Brandi, and was it Miley or Noah? Miley. Is it hard for her to go on hikes? I feel like people would be like, oh, there's Miley Cyrus walking up the hill. Well, we're strategic about where we go. So there's a hike kind of off Laurel Canyon. So there's a hike kind of off Laurel Canyon. It's like we don't obviously like don't go to, what is it, like Runyon. No, we can't go to those places.

So we do off the beaten trail hikes, you know, like, yeah. How is Miley doing, by the way? Really good. You know, she's been so busy with all her new music out, and she actually starts rehearsals on Thursday for Glastonbury and all the festivals she's doing and so she's been busy so I came out here to see her and my mom and my grandmother and I'm staying up here with Miley so um I'm kind of like at their mercy for the next few days because I'm technically here to see them so speaking of like being out in LA with your

family can I just say that I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of the wolf that you guys have? Yeah. And that's sad. I'm so sorry. Cause that dog was awesome. What happened? I don't know all the details.

I was actually, so I was in South Africa when my mom called me and told me that he was sick and she took like, I guess they found like a little lump kind of under his armpit almost and she took him in and they tested it and found out he had cancer uh and it was pretty far advanced um and like animals are interesting like that like they don't really show signs and symptoms of being sick until it's almost too late you know what i mean they just show pain differently than humans i think and so by the time she caught it like he they said his cancer was already really progressed

but still didn't i mean they still kind of said like you should at least have like three to six months with him is what they thought yeah and then literally not even a week later he just died suddenly at night the silver lining is i guess you know it went quickly didn't suffer yeah but that's kind of what i said but it was sad my mom was here by herself and um and obviously like i hated not being able to say bye to him and everything um but i've been meaning to come out here and see my mom after all that happened so um it's been and my grandmother was in the hospital too while i was in south africa so i needed to come out and see everybody mom after all that happened. So it's been, and my grandmother was in the hospital too while I was in South Africa.

So I needed to come out and see everybody. So that's why I decided to come out this week. What was your dog's name again? Mate. Mate, yeah. I mean, like if I saw, I saw like your dad had posted a picture of him. That's how I found out.

And like that dog was so freaking cool. I know. Like I just saw him. He was huge. He was like, when we were talking about on the podcast before, he was like 150 pounds. He just looked like a wolf.

He looked like John Snow's wolf. Truly. He looks like ghost. Yeah. Ding for dogs. Cause they are definitely my favorite thing. It's crazy to think about how long we've had. And even though he was,

he wasn't very old, like German shepherds just don't live that him, even though he wasn't very old. German Shepherds just don't live that long, especially the really big ones like him. But we've had him for like 11 years. And looking back at his puppy photos, it's crazy how young I was when we got him and how long we've had him. And so it's just been hard on everybody, even though he was my mom's and dad's dog. He felt like a family dog. Please extend my condolences to your family because I like that dog

a lot. I know. I will. It's hard. Thanks, Wells. Do you want to start the show? Yeah, you go. All right. Bros and Os, you're listening to Your Favorite Thing Podcast with Wells and Brandy. That is the loudest bell.

Is it? I think you need to move it away. So it's pretty far away, but it's a bit shrill. I'm sorry. It's very shrill. Speaking of Miley Cyrus, I watched the Black Mirror episode. What'd you think? Fantastic.

Yeah. episode what'd you think fantastic yeah i don't know how they did it but like the little robot that she because ashley to robot or whatever yeah is like was it cgi or like like or did someone like mechanically move that thing around because it's so realistic even though it's a really good question yeah because my sister i obviously didn't see them film any of that because that's so realistic. That's a really good question. Yeah. Here's my sister. I obviously didn't see them film any of that because that's all voiceover for her. Yeah. So I didn't see it.

So I'll have to ask her that question and maybe tell you guys next week unless she comes out here. But I thought they did such a good job with all that. Like with doing the little mannerisms of her and everything that matched her voice. I don't know. It was so authentic.

Yeah. So if you haven't seen this black mirror episode basically miley is is a as a pop star and comes out with this like little robot doll that like you can converse back and forth with and then something happens and she kind of like her personality gets like downloaded onto this doll like her real personality not the one that like they programmed and there's this one scene when they plug in the ashley to the miley doll miley like the voice is like get this fucking cord out of my ass and it's the funniest bit like i started dying laughing that's good oh my god anyways like black we've talked about black mirror on the podcast before about like just awesome episodes and that one's really

really good yeah well the thing about black mirror that like cuts me to the core every episode is how realistic it really is. If we continue going down this path of letting technology take over so much of what humans do, we could really end up living a lot of these episodes, and it's scary. For sure. Yeah. Did you watch

any of the other episodes that came out? No, I only watched your first one. I'm sorry. I watched the first episode. There's only three they released. Miley's was the sorry. I watched the first episode. There's only three they released. Miley's was the third. I watched the first one the other day, and it messed me up. Really? I'll never be okay.

It was about these two guys that are, like, best friends. They've been, like, been best friends forever, and then one of them gets married and has a kid and has this really normal life, and the other one's like 35 and still out in the bars dating or whatever and so they like never see each other anymore and they have like this reunion and the single guy gives him a video game but it's like a vr video game and they put this thing on their foreheads and then like they get knocked out and

they go into this virtual reality and let me just say that this video game, this VR video game, goes from a combat game to sexual really quickly. Yeah. And it's weird because it's two guys playing, but the video characters are a guy and a girl. It's a mind fuck, and I won't be the same. Yeah. So watch it, but be prepared.

Is it dinging? Have you dinging it? Yeah, I liked it. I mean, the fact that I'm still thinking about it means it was a good episode. So back to the Miley episode, the villain is her aunt who like raises her right and you were saying like because I hadn't watched it last episode and you were like it it's very like true to form in terms of like the Hannah Montana days when she was portrayed as something that she wasn't in real life and that was a hard like there had to be a moment in her career that she had to kind of like take a

different path to like be more of who she was was there a person in her life was there like some manager or something that was like horrible to miley there wasn't like to me in that in that scenario of like comparison it's like it's almost like disney was the puppeteer right because you know like the hannah montana script is like i guess who was pulling her puppet strings or whatnot because that's the character she had to play have you ever seen that that south park episode with the jonas brothers and with mickey mouse no okay so it's really funny because the jonas brothers they don't want to be like so like goody two-shoes and it's like mickey mouse like comes in he's like you're gonna fucking do what i tell you or i'm gonna fucking kill you and it's like the best

oh god i'm surprised they were allowed to do that well south park can do anything i guess but like that's true and it's not really the Jonas Brothers voicing it you know okay but go if you have a chance like uh ding on that like that is a really funny episode where it like shows like the cute Mickey Mouse being a total asshole you know that's insane so it's true though yeah or make your sister watch that one I feel like she would really appreciate uh yeah something tells me she loves South Park she's probably seen it, but I'll have to ask her. Anyways, yeah, that's a freaking phenomenal episode. I guess we can shift gears.

I didn't watch The Bachelor last night. Did you? No, I was flying here, so I couldn't watch it. I've got to watch it today. I just saw clips online. It looks like Luke P. does this whole thing about what a a marriage bed should be and that's when Hannah's like I've had sex uh and Jesus still loves me and like yeah yeah he kind of like I guess so I haven't seen the episode so like please no one get mad at me for like getting facts wrong here but like just

from what I gathered it looks like he kind of slut shames her a little bit and then she like kind of holds her ground and kicks everyone out. Or kicks him out. Which, thank God. But that guy is just... It's people like that that really scare me. I have to be honest. I agree.

And he just... I can't believe that she has kept him around this long. What is it about him that we don't see that she likes enough to keep him around i don't understand it i mean we had this whole episode that was even titled like hannah is digmatized by him and i think i'm going away from that and i'm leaning more towards this is reminding her of like and i could be totally wrong and way off base here. So again, take this for what it's worth. But it's almost like she was in a relationship similar to this in the past.

And I don't even know if it's abusive. I think more of like a mental abuse thing where like she's falling back into it because that was something that like you know was part of her life and resonated with her beforehand but like that guy scares the bejesus out of me so anyways we kind of teased it last week that i was uh on vacation uh with my family but obviously that's not true and i think anyone who'd watched listens to the show knew that that was a lie but i wasn't't really allowed to say anything due to contracts and NDAs. But our boy Chris Harrison was the one who revealed it. So if anyone's mad at anybody, it's going to be Chris

because he just tweeted it out. And it was before ABC released pictures and stuff. Well, Chris can do whatever he wants. Yeah, I mean, he is the godfather of Bachelor Nation. But someone asked, will Wells be there? And he tweeted out, my boy's going to be there. And I was like, okay, so can I talk about this now? What's happening?

Yeah. What's really funny is that they released all the pictures on ABC and on Instagram and stuff of everyone there, and they didn't release my picture. And I was like like what is going on here and then but somehow like tvguide.com got my got my picture so it's out and it says like i'm the bartender and as long as water is wet chris harrison's the host and so i was like messaging with the producers being like am i allowed to say that i'm here? It's out. I think it was like a screw up that they... You can't put the toothpaste

back in the tube, so here we are. The reason why I brought up Paradise as it pertains to Luke P, and I won't obviously ruin anything about Paradise because I'm not reality Steve.

Anyways, I won't reveal if oh hold on sarah's facetiming me real quick hey bye i love you okay bye i won't reveal if luke p's here or he's not here but what's really funny is all the guys that talk about him, because I'm like, tell me more about this guy. And they're like, he's really short. And I was like, what? And they're like, yeah, he's like 5'8", 5'9". And I was like, stop. What?

And I was like, so this is like a Napoleon thing? And everyone's like, he's pretty short. And I was like, because he looks pretty big on TV, you know? Everybody looks taller on TV. All the girls look so tall on TV, and then you see them in real life, and they're like barely five feet tall. Yeah. But anyway, so I really liked that little tidbit because that guy scares me.

And now that I know that if I met him in real life that i'd be looking down to him a little bit i feel better yeah a little bit better about myself i mean i'm sure he would still absolutely destroy me because he's just jacked to all get out but like obviously can't talk and won't talk a lot about this but i will say this this is my third season, Slingin' Drinks. Mm-hmm. This is going to be the best season ever. Would you say that it's the most dramatic season? Yeah. Of that show I've ever seen?

I would say that it is... I don't know if it's the... Ah, man. Yes. Up there? Yes the man. Yes. Up there? Yes. Okay. No.

So I would say that the most dramatic season was when we stopped filming for 10 days three seasons ago. That's fair. That's fair. But that was traumatizing for like everyone involved.

But I would say that like this I think this season is going to really be popular. And there's just a lot of things that happen that are amazing and crazy and wackadoo and bonkers and all those things i don't know if i've ever been in the middle of the shoot being like wow this is going to be a fantastic season i think i've always been like you know it's funny it's crazy it's. I can't believe those two people got together.

Whatever. This one, I'm like, everyone's gonna lose their mind. Wow. Yeah, so. When does it premiere? Do you know? August 5th. Can't wait. I know. I'm telling you, man. The show just, I saw a tweet the other day that was like,

it was like, at this point, The Bachelor and The Bachelorette only serve to make The Bachelor in Paradise. And I was like, it was like, at this point, The Bachelor and The Bachelorette only serve to make The Bachelor in Paradise. And I was like, yep. Yeah, totally. That's where we are right now, for sure. Oh, yeah. Ratings-wise, I think that The Bachelor does better than,

I know it does better than The Bachelorette. It's not that far off from being better than Paradise. I think very, very soon, Paradise is going to be number one. Yeah, I could see that. You know? Okay, give me a dang. Well, one of my favorite things is Michelle Hilsman's

four arms.

My brother's here, by the way, visiting me, which is nice. Hold on one second. She just ran off. I wonder where she went. She scammed. Hold on one second. Scampered off. I think it's a fart walk. Is that a fart walk? Oh, she went and got a cushion or something. I'm like over here sitting on the concrete, and I'm like, why am I doing that?

Miley has cushions everywhere. Yeah. Way better for my ass. Yeah, so your ass is important. It's one of, I would say it's one of, I would assume it's one of Michelle Hilsman's favorite things about you. It truly is.

He's so cute and adorable and polite, though. He always says bum bum and i'm like let's just call it what like it's an ass let's just call it what it is my brother's here and he's nervous about being loud so he's just passed me a note that says can i cook food for us or too loud yes but say hello yell out hello there he is hello my brother comes and visits me every year in paradise because i'm pretty cool i'm kind of like all by myself except for when i go to set so we have bro time and walk down to the little beach and get beers and eat amazing tacos oh dude i gotta say this okay favorite thing first of all this little townulita, is the dopest little freaking town.

I think we've talked about it before. It's this real bohemian, hippie surf town outside of Puerto Vallarta. And there is a taco stand with a yellow awning. stand with a yellow awning that is the best motherfucking tacos that i've ever had in my entire life that's an insane statement coming from you you're like the taco king dude i'm telling you i don't know what and they're known for their fish tacos but i get their shrimp tacos and like the like tomato slaw that they put on there and and then there's this stuff called Gringo Killer, which is this black paste, as black as my soul, in this oil thing, and then you just drizzle that on,

and boy, it'll light you up, son. It'll let you know tomorrow that something happened yesterday. All right? It's hot going in, and it's even hotter going out. Oh, my gosh. TMI. But if you go to Sayulita, find the little taco stand with the yellow lining.

What's it called? Is it called Real Fish Taco? You'll see it. It's right down there on the beach, pretty close to the beach on the Cobblestone Road. I don't even know what to tell you. You'll see it. It's right down there on the beach, pretty close to the beach on the Cobblestone Road. I don't even know what to tell you. Like, I've had blowjobs that aren't as awesome as these tacos.

Oh, my God. Sarah's going to kill you. Not. That's not what I said. That's not what I said. Speaking of not to get a little Not to get too gross But whatever I'm scared

I don't know if women know this But I was having a conversation with my friends the other day Do women know that guys have good dick days and bad dick days? Like pertaining to sex? Or just like in general? Just in general No Like you get out of the

shower and you're like all right look at feeling and looking real good today really and some days no some days no and it has nothing i mean like obviously like cold water like affects that but sometimes you could like you could get out of a a cold pool or something and be like having a good dick day and so like so if you ever notice that your man is like weirdly being naked more than he normally is let me just tell you something ladies it's a good dick day oh my gosh this is insane yeah i don't i don't know like i was talking about this with another guy and and and i was like i don't know if women know this about us i would love for the listeners to chime in here and tweet us and let us know if you know this because i didn't know yeah i'd love to

know if women know this like if they're like do their guys tell them this or like are we all in the dark here i think you we all in the dark here? I think you're all in the dark. But, like, I would say, like, next time you're with Michelle Huseman, notice if he's being naked around you more than he normally is. Uh-huh. And ask him if he's having a good dick day. You have a good dick day?

And he'll be like, having a good dick day. He's going to be like, what the hell are you talking about? And I'm going to say, what Wells says. Listen, I vetted this with a couple different,

Brett, do you know about good dick days? He's got a good dick day. Brett's got a good dick day today. That's good to know. Oh my gosh. Oh man. Fantastic. I don good to know. Oh, my gosh. Oh, man.

Fantastic. I don't know if you saw, but OJ Simpson is on Twitter now. I saw it. Yup. Kind of terrifying. Did you see what he said? No. I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of my views.

I didn't want to help his engagement by looking at his shit. Yeah. Fair enough. But what he says is kind of scary. I wonder if I can pull it up. Or should we not do it because we're giving him the satisfaction of our views? Odds. Yeah, okay. Fair enough. But I'll just say what he says because it's just bonkers.

He's like, hey Twitterverse, it's OJ Simpson here. This is the official OJ Simpson. If it doesn't come from this Twitter account, it's not real. And he's like, I'm here. And there's been a lot of things

that have been said about me that aren't true. And I'm here to get some revenge. And it's something like that. Oh boy. Like get some revenge and set the record straight. And everyone's responding with like, what does that mean? You already killed two people, bro. What more revenge do you want?

He ends it with, happy Father's Day. No. Terrified. Insane. He scares me. Yeah, he scares everybody. Oh, that. And then, okay, so he was like, I want to set the record straight.

So the next thing he did was, because you know how there's been, like, rumors that he and Kris Jenner hooked up and, like, that's, like, Kim's real father or something like that? Khloe. Khloe, whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. He went on and was like I never had sex with with Chris Jenner

which I guess that's cool very interesting so anyways do you not believe it I don't know I don't know shit but I don't know I mean Chloe you just look so different yeah yeah yeah and she's so tall But I don't know. I mean, Chloe just looks so different.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she's so tall. Yeah. And all the other ones are so short. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

Excuse me. Wow. I'm drinking a beer on the beach, bro. Okay, so Taylor Swift has a new song out. It's a song in LA. What? You're baiting me here. I'm not baiting you here.

Yes, you are. The look on your face right now. No, I'm not baiting you. It's a fresh bait. I'm going to cast something out. I noticed that the new Taylor Swift video has Katy Perry in it. Oh, really? I haven't in it. Oh, really? I haven't seen it.

Oh. And my question is, is there beef squashed? Was there beef ever real? What do you think? I don't know. Oh, my God. Real quick. E! News just sent a notification.

Bachelor's Lauren Bushnell engaged to country star chris lane i already saw that on her instagram today just started dating what are you talking about you know well they say when you know you know you know yeah i guess this is okay let's go back yeah let's go back because I have okay so Taylor Swift continue your Katy Perry I don't have facts to back I don't know anything but it wouldn't shock me if it was a PR stunt

like the whole feud or them getting back together either one so like I remember hearing the original story was is that like Katy stole like all of Taylor's, like, crew, like, road crew or something like that. Oh. And that's, like, how it started. I do think that that might have been true.

Yeah. But the thing about it is you can't blame Katie for that. If Taylor's people weren't loyal to her that's not katie's fault fair that's the people the crew's fault you know what i mean yeah also if you offer someone more money or something exactly you know what are you going to business is business totally all right so that might be true yeah i don't know i i like that feud and I don't like that it's ended. It felt right. Yeah. I do love Katy Perry's new single.

It is so freaking catchy. Yeah. The harmony and the chorus that really drives it home and just makes it a banger. I have shitty soul service up here. It's definitely got a 80s track to it. Anyways, yeah.

All right. So there's that. There's the feud that, I don't know, whatever. Well, my dad's song is the number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 for the 11th week in a row. This is crazy. Absolutely insane. It's bonkers. Well, good for him, man.

I know. How does that work in terms of money? Does he get a third of that since his Lil Nas X song? I don't know the percentages. There's no telling what percentage. People do different percentages all the time, but he definitely will get royalties because he wrote his verse.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he does have writer's credit on it. I just don't know how much. Dude, that's awesome. I mean... Yeah. We're all surprised that it's lasting that long, right? Like, not to be rude or anything,

it's a fantastic show, but like really long time off the charts. Insane. It's broken so many records. It's broken records from Drake and Ariana Grande of their number one staying up there. It's crazy. Get your life, Dad.

I know. Dude, Blood's just killing it these days. Killing it. First of all, everyone knows I like cooking because I like cooking wells and stuff. Cooking wells, live and coming at ya. I know. Should I do this whole thing in the voice? Maybe.

Well, howdy there, friends. Welcome to another episode of Cooking Wells. Today, we're going to talk about HelloFresh and how it makes everything so much easier to cook for you and your loved one. It's too much. I really do love HelloFresh, though. Like, I mean, obviously Sarah and I are super busy, and they just send you a box with all the amazing food, all the amazing ingredients, very simple steps to cook amazing food, y'all. Yeah. And it's just so tasty. Yeah. You know, I'm not a very good cook.

I need directions. And it really helps me that they send pre-measured ingredients. It's the easiest thing to follow. So even someone like me who sucks at cooking can make a great meal. Best part is they all come together in 30 minutes tops. They even have 20 minute meals for when you're on the go. It really is a great thing. Yeah. And you can choose from three different plans. They've got classic, veggie, and family. And the option to switch for when your tastes change. You can enjoy fun menu features with HelloFresh's dinner to lunch, 20-minute meals, gourmet, and one-pot wonders, among many other things they've got. So here's a deal we've got for you guys. For $80 off your first month, which is a lot of money, by the way.

That's insane. So $80 off your first month of HelloFresh. Go to HelloFresh.com slash YFT80. So obviously your favorite thing, and then the amount of money that you're going to get off 80, and enter YFT80 for the promo code.

All right, Brandi, you know what I need. How's that broke ass grill going, girl? I'm telling you, it's getting straighter and straighter every week. Really? Yeah, it really is. Talk about them Smile Direct trays you got in your mug right now. So my favorite thing about it,

give me a ding, is that you only have to make one trip to the dentist. And really, you don't even have to do that if you do an at-home impression kit. They send you one box with every single little retainer you're going to need

for the entire five to six month thing. It's great because I travel so much. I can't be in the same place to get stuff shipped all the time. So I just go through and if I'm going to be gone three weeks, I take out three retainers and they're labeled. They tell me what month and week I switch. And I even get texts and email reminders reminding me to switch. It's foolproof. I can't mess up. All right. So here's the deal we got for our listeners out there. Get a $25 Amazon gift card with a free 3D scan at one of their Smile shops or get a $25 rebate on an at-home impression kit.

Then exclusive for our YFTers, get $150 off your invisible aligners at smiledirectclub.com slash podcast and use offer code YFT150. Straight teeth. By the way, do you follow Scooby-Doo Fruit Snacks on Instagram? Why on earth would I do that? Okay, because it's amazing. It's like just the best meme. It's one of my favorite meme things on Insta.

The caption is probably the best essay introduction i've read in a while okay and it's i i don't maybe i've done this already on the show whatever i'm doing it again because it's just so funny brandon knight this is a essay about rosa parks okay uh this is a high school like research paper interesting i'm gonna read you the first paragraph entitled Rosa Parks. Buckle your seatbelts, boys and girls, professor or whoever's reading this at this spectacular time in your life, because in eight short pages, I'm going to learn you a thing that I only know the basics when I was. OK, so he's a lot of grammar issues here.

Learn you a thing that I only know the basics when I was in first or second grade and the rest I learned myself about two hours ago so sit down shut up and enjoy the experience of my 3am monster energy ADHD medicine induced self-hatred fueled writing extravaganza about Rosa Parks and what you're going to read is damn near the best thing you'll probably read in a 30-minute time frame. Oh, my gosh. So the teacher has crossed out the whole thing and written in the margin,

imaginative introduction. Wow. Buckle your seatbelt. I almost want to start the show with, buckle your seatbelts, bros and hoes. Yes. This is a spec time in your life when you're going to listen to 45 minutes of absolute nothing. We totally should. We're going to learn you a thing or two about shit we watched on Netflix last night

and music that we jogged to yesterday morning. Welcome to Your Favorite Thing podcast with Wells and Brandy. I love it. I think we should adopt it. I like it. Speaking of your favorite things, we haven't really done any. Do you got any favorite things going on right now? Well, speaking of memes, Miley showed me a meme this morning.

Do you remember book fairs at school? For sure. They were the greatest day ever. Right? And I don't know why. Yes. Because as a kid, you hated to fucking read. And then we had a book fair and everyone's like pandemonium.

Pandemonium. Like better than field day. Book fairs were the best. Why the fuck I wanted a 300-page picture book about Bo Jackson, I will never know. But I remember getting that thing at book fair, and dude, huge book boner I had that day. So true.

I can just picture it now, like my library set up a book fair shit. Oh, it was just the best. Yeah. We were talking about last week about how we lived on both sides of the technological age. Yeah. And we were talking about answering machines. And I saw someone tweeted to us being like, I'm so pissed that Wells and Brandy didn't talk about the dial-up modem sound when you pick up the phone. The brrrr. pick up the phone. The...

Yes. It was the worst. AOL, man. AOL is what everybody had. Dude. AOL dial-up. We were... So we were yesterday.

I landed and we went straight to go visit my grandmother. She just moved into like an assisted living home. Yeah. By the way, Noah and I both were like, can we live here? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, can we apply were like can we live here yeah like can we apply they you can get room service or you can go down to the dining room they feed you three meals a day and they have a resident senior dog that just floats around and just hangs with all the residents

at all times nicest room ever great view great like great balcony i could just die. I guess the coolest place. Anyway. Resident senior dog. Senior. Dude, they rescued a senior dog. She's so sweet. Her name is Kira. Little white German shepherd. And she just trots around and says hi to all the residents. She's, like, roaming the hallways, like, living her best life.

This place is insane. Damn. It's so good. But, wait, I forgot what I was going to say. Oh, no. So, we were, we call my grandmother Mam say oh no so we were we were we called my grandmother mammy so we were in mammy's room and um noah i guess mammy didn't have noah's new cell phone number or something so noah was like mammy give me your phone i'm gonna put my new number in

and noah picks up mammy's flip phone and she's like whoa this is such a cool phone and my mom and i were like what she was like i think i'm gonna get one of these this is such a cool phone. Oh, my God. And my mom and I were like, what? She was like, I think I'm going to get one of these. This is dope. She was like flipping it up and down. I was like, well, I'll see one of those in a minute. She was like, these aren't new. My mom said, clearly Noah wasn't born yet when those phones came out. And I lost my shit.

But like that's crazy to think when I had the Razer flip phone, I think I was in like my senior year of high school, and Noah wasn't even born. That's nuts yeah i she was born but my mom is being dramatic but she's that young that she has no idea what the razor flip phone is that's crazy oh man someone show her the nokia phone with snake on it that the battery life lasted a good fortnight you know it's so true how come our phone batteries are shit now my nokia phone is still at half charge 17 years later mine sat in my locker for months fully charged fully charged

yeah what the fuck apple can we get the nokia battery in our shit i'm not kidding i i still miss my sidekick i'll never love a phone like i loved that that swish of the sidekick screen i know yeah i'll give i'll give a ding on that oh i love the sidekick yeah i love the nokia i had this one it was like metal it was like chrome metal that like it was a flip phone that i thought was so great but the thing about it was they were smaller than our phones are now you know waste, yeah. But they didn't have a keyboard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But dude, T9 predictive text? So good. Do you think you can still text on that now though? Like pretty quick? I think it would take me like a couple minutes

but I think I could get into it. And here's the thing. I think that I would be, I'm faster on that than I am on my phone now. Really? I think so. Fascinating. One of these days we should test this. That would be fun. Yeah. Dude, T9 Predictive Text was the shiz.

Genius. Who came up with that? Someone who deserves one of those. Someone who's having a good dick day right now. Yeah. You know? Oh, God. Do you have any other favorite things?

Favorite things. I'm caught up on Handmaid's Tale. Love it. any other favorite things? Favorite things. I'm caught up on Handmaid's Tale. Love it. I know you haven't seen it. Big fan of that. I started Chernobyl last night, again, because I fell asleep the first time. Loving it.

Dude. Oh, so I downloaded the whole season of that What If show I was telling you about. Yeah. And was going to start it, and my mom said it was the worst show ever. So she crushed my dream. So I'm going to take Tish the Dish's review there and pass it along and say the What If show is not good. All right.

I watched half of the new Adam Sandler, Jen Aniston movie, Murder Mystery, on Netflix. Oh. It looks pretty funny. It's like the whodunit. It was the butler with the candlestick, but it happens on a yacht in France. Anyways, Adam Sandler and Jen Aniston, they're kind of like this day and age's tom hanks and um meg ryan yep you know yep but even before that i guess it was also adam sandler and drew barrymore that did a bunch of rom-coms but he's been doing a bunch with jen aniston so i'm gonna finish it but i started i

want i started like the first half of it last night, and I really liked it, so I'll give it a ding. All right. I finished that book I was talking about last week. Yeah. I loved it. Absolutely loved it. It's called Let Me Lie by Claire McIntosh. I've read a few of her other books.

I really, really like her. She writes the whole female crime thriller stuff that's so hot right now but i i am never disappointed by her books and some sometimes other authors i'm like yeah that was all right her books are great would you like me to read the little synopsis here yeah please do the police say it was suicide anna says it was murder they're both wrong last year tom and caroline johnson chose to end their lives one seemingly unable to live without the other. Their daughter, Anna, is struggling to come to terms with her parents' deaths, unwilling to accept the verdict of suicide. Now, with a baby herself, Anna feels her mother's absence keenly and is determined to find out what really happened to her parents.

But as she digs up the past, someone is trying to stop her. Sometimes, it's safer to let things lie oh my god done done done done done um it's great there's a twist at the end there's a couple twists but one big twist that i really i thought like i thought towards the end of the book like oh i i know what's gonna happen so and so is really doing this and this and I was wrong. The end surprised me. Wow. Yeah, it was great. I read, and this actually came from a YFTer because I went on Instagram and was like, I need a new book rec.

What do you got for me? And I got a bunch of people being like, you need to read Three Body Problem, which is, I think it's a Japanese author, but it's been translated into English. It's about aliens taking over the world. I will say this. Three-Body Problem is interesting and intriguing, but there's the next one, I guess the Four-Body Problem or whatever,

the book that comes after Three-Body Problem is insane. I'm like a quarter of the way into that. I'm really into that. So if you're into sci-fi stuff, go look at The Three-Body Problem. I think you'll be into it. Love it. You got anything else? I don't think so. I think we hit them all. Yeah, I hate to be this guy,

but I have to go to work soon. Gotta go to work? I gotta go to work? I gotta go to work. Gotta go make some skinny margaritas for a bunch of crazy people. Okay. So I'll tell everyone that you know that you say hi. Tell them I said hi and tell them they better get their shit together.

Oh, yeah. I tell them that every single day. And guess what? They don't listen. Tell them not to do anything I wouldn't do. Yeah, but you're a goody two-shoes. Exactly! All right, dude, I miss you and I love you.

Tell your family I say hi, okay? I will. Miss you, Wells. All right, bye, dude. Bye. Piercing. Sorry. This podcast has been brought to you by Podcast Nation.
