Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Camo Girl & Prime Rib Roast Boy

Episode Date: December 4, 2024

Dude, it’s December? Brandi and Wells are back from Thanksgiving with a new episode that includes an update about why Brandi has been offline and a rant from Wells about the biggest villain of all time. It’s hard to go about normal life when time is moving at superspeed and aliens are taking over, but your hosts do not leave you hanging this week with plenty of new faves. For example, Brandi watched a new movie that involves constantly being high and Wells cried during a kid’s movie! They also give some suggestions about what content to skip, which might actually include Harry Potter (if you’re anything like Brandi), but definitely does not include the best Christmas movie of all time, The Family Stone. Plus, they discuss the true meaning behind Billy Joel’s Piano Man, explain why horses don’t deserve their bad rap, and introduce a new segment: Fun Mormon Facts!   Favorite things mentioned:  Elevation (Amazon Prime)  Interior Chinatown (Hulu)  Silo (Apple TV+)  From (MGM+)  Inside Out 2 (Disney+)  Static No More by Próxima Parada  Do You Haunt Me by Hazlett  Satisfied by Family Company ft.

the older we get the quicker time unravels upon itself because our perception of time is now relative obviously one year when you're three years old is one third of your life and one year when you're 40 years old is only 140th of your life but still why go so fast? The year's almost over. Do you understand that? The year's almost over. We're done with 2024. How is that even possible? Dude, I'm going to blink and be shitting in a bag, living in an old age home, being taken care of by a lovely Filipino lady like tomorrow. Also, we're doing the decorations today, guys, gotta do the decorations, gotta decorate the house, which is like a whole thing, you know, my wife, very, very hands-on when it comes to the decorations, which is fine, but then it becomes like a whole thing,

it's like, we gotta decorate, and then, of course, we're gonna decorate, then we gotta do the tree, we do the tree, but we have three trees, by the way, and then we do that, we've got to decorate. And then, of course, we're going to decorate. Then we're going to do the tree. We're going to do the tree. We have three trees, by the way. And then we do that. Then we have to watch Christmas movies, okay? And if we do that, then we have to make a, I have to make some sort of cocktail that corresponds with Christmas feeling, which usually coincides with cinnamon sticks and stuff. Bah humbug.

By the way, speaking of, did you see one of the actors, one of the stage actors who does the christmas carol died on stage imagine doing that play and then all of a sudden being like wait now i'm the ghost of christmas present damn that's fucked up good joke bad joke whatever should we call the brand's side tree? It's time to call her up. Oh, my God. The year's almost over. Hello?

What up? You going hunting today? Yeah. You doing some buck hunting? You doing some turkey hunting? What are we doing today? No, you know I don't kill animals for sport. Brandy's wearing some, looks like some Cabela's

camo. Some brushwork stuff. Yep. You know me, just trying to blend in with the wall here. I don't understand. You live in the forest. Who are you trying to hide from? Matt. Just kidding. Who's Matt?

The man I'm dating. Oh, finally, a name gets tied to this person we've been talking of. Yeah. Why are you trying to hide from him? Is he abusive? Do we need to do something? Because I've met him. He's like seven feet tall. I do not want to try to fight him. No, nobody does. Okay, good. Yeah. No, no, no. Just no just kidding you know i just like camo what can i say it is quite popular these days it is i think that's very funny too because i see a lot of people who are not hunters now you're different because you actually live on a farm but i see a lot of people who are like i don't know like gen Zers who've never stepped foot outside of an urban hellscape wearing a lot of camo. And I find that very, very interesting. It is, isn't it? And also when I

think of people who wear camo, I think of like ultra rights, probably doomsday preppers, probably hunting and harvesting their own, their own meat. And then when I see some of these Gen Zers, I'm like, I don't think any of those ideologies line up. You're right. What's funny about it is it's appropriation. Could you say the same thing about somebody that wears a jersey that's not an athlete? Can we talk about that, actually? Sure. I want to talk about that.

My nephew, Ghost, is in college, right? He wears a jersey to the games. He ain't the only one. I know. I'm sorry. This may offend seven of the eight men that are listening to this podcast right now. But if you're a grown-ass man, if you've reached puberty, nay, let's say you're out of high school. You can't wear a jersey to the game

anymore, alright? What are you? That's like going to Disneyland as an adult dressed up like Mickey. That's fucking weird, my guy. Now, you can wear the colors of your team because you want to make sure everyone knows, hey, I am for what you guys are for.

Don't beat me up in the parking lot afterwards. The offensive coordinator is going to be like, that guy right there in row E, seat seven. Get him down here. Let's throw him in the game. Also, wearing the name of another man on your back, kind of cringe. It's a little strange, huh?

It is. It's a little cuckoldy. Wow. Do you know what a cuckold is? I don't. You don't. A cuckold. A cuckold. You don't. A cuckold. A cuckold.

A cuck. It's a sexual thing. Usually it's like between a married man and a woman, and the married man sits and watches another man make sweet love to his wife in front of him. And this is a widely known term? Very much so widely known. Interesting. Anyways, not a big fan of adult men wearing jerseys to games.

It's the equivalent of wearing the band you're going to see that night's shirt and not a band similar to that band that's playing that night's shirt. Does that make sense? Yes, but no. What's wrong with wearing the band's shirt? I don't know. It's cringe, dude. Like you're wearing the shirt to the show? Is it?

Like if you're going to see a Miley Cyrus show, you can't be. Oh, people be wearing Miley Cyrus shirts. Oh, but they do. I know. I think that's lame. Huh. I think you got to wear something similar that shows, hey, listen, I'm into it. Okay.

Flaming lip shirt. You can wear a flaming lip shirt to a Miley Cyrus show okay because it shows that you know that Miley and Wayne Coyne are good friends and they collaborate a lot and it shows that you have good taste in music because the flaming lips are fucking awesome and it doesn't make you the dork that is wearing the shirt

of the person singing that night now the only caveat is this and we've talked about this on YFT before. If you buy a shirt at the show, you can then put it on because, hey, listen, what are you going to do? Am I going to schlep around with this shirt all day? No, thank you. Okay.

Only caveat. Interesting. Didn't know the show was going to start out like that. Me neither. Man. So how are you doing? Well, I'm doing. You're doing?

Yeah. Should I tell the YFTers a little bit about what happened to me? I don't know. Do you want to tell the wife tears? It's up to you. I haven't posted on Instagram or anything in like two weeks. But anyway, I was in LA the week before Thanksgiving and ended up having to have surgery, guys. Yeah.

It was terrible. I had to have abdominal surgery. Turns out I have severe endometriosis. Didn't know. Sarah has that. So that's cool. Does Sarah have symptoms? Yeah. She's always in pain. See, I didn't really until recently. So when he said it was severe, I was shocked. You got cysts on your ovaries.

So many. So many cysts. It's a pretty normal thing. ovaries. So many. So many sits. And it's a pretty normal thing. That and then also like little black dots of scar tissue, I guess, all over in there. And so they had to go in and burn all those off and do some crazy shit. It was nuts. Black dots. What are you? Yeah. Little black dots is what I saw the pictures. They took pictures in there. What do they say that is? Endometriosis. It's like scar tissue from endometriosis. And they look like little black dots and they take a laser, I guess, and burn them all. Did that hurt? I mean, it didn't feel great when I woke up, you know? So they had to cut you open? It was done labroscopically. So what does that mean? They cut a little hole?

Yeah. They make little, three little holes and I guess put like a machine in there, like a robot. Yeah. I don't know know I don't know anything about the only thing I know about the medical world is what I see on Grey's Anatomy you know what I mean they don't cover endo and greys they don't cover endo they should but I have heard the term labroscopic operation on greys so I know that that means little tiny dot holes and like little probes they put in there instead of having to cut you open and do it all. So it was that, but like the recovery was still kind of brutal, even though it was a little tiny holes. Yikes. So I have been chilling for the past 10 days. It's been very difficult to not do anything. Let me tell you. Are you on the mend? I am on the mend. I started feeling like, I feel

like I took a turn in the right direction yesterday. I was feeling more agile. I was feeling like I could get like up and down into the truck by myself without, you know, being uncomfortable. But yeah, it's been a journey. Well, I'm sorry. Obviously, I've known about this for a little bit and that's a scary thing, but I'm glad that you're better. Me too. Or at least on the way to being better. Yeah. The bummer is I had to skip out on F1. Yeah. I thought I would maybe be, you know, hop top two and right back at it a few days later, but not so much. No, no, you gotta get your rest. I had to cancel that, which was really devastating. So if anybody happened to be there and try to come find me and see me and couldn't, that's why. And I'm so sorry.

And try to come find me and see me and couldn't. That's why. And I'm so sorry. Yeah. So don't complain. Okay. I was complaining. What if they were like, I was there with a Brandy Cyrus shirt on.

Do you have merch that says your name? I don't have merch. What? I think I want merch. But here's the problem. I don't want my face on the merch. Because that's weird. So like what would my merch be? Wife Tears, if you guys have any ideas for me for merch i would love that because i'm not good at things like this i'm not

good at like design work i'm just not my forte and i want it to be cool i don't want my face to be on it you know because it's weird but i would like to have some merch. Okay, yeah. So if any YFTers out there want to do graphic design for free, I guess Brandy is willing to accept that. All I'm looking for are some ideas, bro. Hey, man, ideas are expensive. Even though I give a lot of them away on this show. You really do. Yeah, but no one ever uses them, you know?

Hey, how about how there's fucking so many ufo sightings these days we were looking at one this morning like in you in real life uh no in the uk it's on instagram dude i know i've seen okay there's one in the uk there's one in arizona there's they're all over i saw one in medellin col Colombia. Dude, they're everywhere right now. The one in the UK is crazy. It was like on the airport tarmac. And the pilot's like, there's an orb just hanging. And then all of a sudden it shoots up into the air.

There was a bunch over the White House apparently. Dude, it's coming. Oh yeah, for sure. It's coming. We're going to be hanging out with the aliens very soon. Oh, yeah. I agree. This is how they do it.

They got to like slowly make people be like, yeah, it's fucking more aliens, I guess. You know, like people like normalize it, really. I don't know. It also might be all bullshit and it might be the government trying to get us to be totally on board with like shooting down shit. And we don't know what it is. That's a good idea. Yeah. And then they're like, do you see this?

It could be like our own government making these UFOs and then these UFOs attack shit. And then they're like, we need $7 trillion to do Space Force. And you're like, yeah, I guess we do. They're attacking us. Yeah, I wouldn't put it past them. But then all it is really was the government wanting more money to do some bullshit. Here's my thing. They obviously have anti-gravity fucking information.

Like they had that whole thing, the Senate hearing or whatever, where they had a bunch of people who were like, yeah, we're trying to reverse engineer it. We have biologics, yada, yada, yada. Dude, they obviously have anti-gravity stuff. Can we fucking get that going on in our lives? What do you need that for? Hoverboard, number one, was promised that back in 1984 and back to the future one. Still haven't gotten that shit. What about fucking hover trains, dude? We could get anywhere. Pretty cheap, right? I guess so, yeah.

Dude, if we had hover everything, we could just go places. Everyone could have their own little hover car. Yeah, but then how would you enforce, I feel like we would need like sky lanes and shit. You can't just have people flying around erratically and wrecking into each other and wreaking havoc. Oh, no, no, no. Humans should not be in charge of flying these devices. We need to use, let's utilize AI.

Right now, AI is being utilized for me to like ask it dumb fucking questions. Hear me out though. Okay. The self-driving Teslas are out here killing people because the cars catch on fire and they lock the doors and it burns them to death. Yeah. So I don't know if I trust the AI. I blame Elon Musk on that. I don't blame

I don't blame the AI. Anyways, I want some hover shit. Alright. What are some other things I'd love to have hover all the time? I don't know. That sounds like, that's enough. Okay. I'll tell you something, my body. I'll tell you what.

Fucking gravity is hurting this body. Dude, my back's, my back's fucked. My knee's fucked. Brandy's ovaries are fucked. You know, we need anti-gravity. I'm not sure that would help my ovaries, but. I think it has something to do with it. It could.

It might, I don't know. Start the show? Yeah, I think so. You or me? I think it might be me. do with it. It could. It might. I don't know. Start the show? Yeah, I think so. You or me? I think it might be me. Go for it. Bros and hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with... Wells and Brandy. All right, quick PSA for those of you out there who rent.

um, the good old Thanksgiving episode live at Harriet's came out pretty good. How do you know you never never listen or watch anything. I watched a couple minutes of the YouTube. You did? I did. I edited it. It is pretty funny. I was way too loud in the beginning. That annoyed me. Yeah, we had some sound issues in the beginning.

Yeah. The only thing that I would do different, and this is my ego speaking, because it obviously doesn't matter, because we had a packed house. It was sold out or whatnot but i want to mic the crowd up more because when the crowd screams out stuff and cheers and stuff you couldn't really hear it on the show that's true so you weren't sure of like what the crowd was into what the crowd wasn't into but when we were doing it live you could

definitely tell you know for sure that's a good point So if we ever do that again, that's what I would do. I listened to the episode the other day. I think that's a funny episode. I loved it. I think it was good. Did you have a good Thanksgiving? Yeah, it was very chill. I was here in Nashville just taking care of the farm animals.

Yeah. When I say I was doing it, you know, I was recovering. So I was directing and Matt was doing it. was recovering so I was directing and Matt was doing it. You enlisted people to do shit. Yes I did. That's smart. Delegation is very important. It's very important. You need a leader for things like that.

And then I went to my friend Gabby's house her family always includes me and invites me over for the holidays when I'm here and they're family friends so it feels like a second family. Went over there, had an amazing meal, drank their alcohol, had a great time. You know, what about you? We had friends giving, we had the island of misfit idiots over at our house and it was so much fun. I finally ripped the bandaid off this bitch and I just did, actually, I still, I still chickened out and made half a turkey, but I told you I went with the prime

roast. That's the way to go. Turkey's out. I like turkey. No, you don't. I do. Are you like dry meat? It wasn't dry. It was yum yum.

No, they make it not dry with gravy. Do you know what gravy is? Yes, it was on my turkey. It's just butter and flour and then the drippings all mixed together. I love butter. I do too. But that's how dry that piece of meat is i like it gross dude gross anyways can i just give everyone i don't know if i should do

this because i don't want there to be like a shortage of primary roasts but you can't fuck it up you put one of those meat thermometers in there. You get the temperature that you want, like 125 or so. It's perfect because the outer portions of the roast are more well done, and then the inner portions are more rare, so everyone gets the exact cut of meat that they want. And then you make a little horseradish sauce. You make an au jus. The sauces are perfect.

Everything's cooked perfectly. It's not a pain in the ass to carve like a turkey. I'm telling you, I have left the turkey in the rearview mirror forever. I'm a prime rib roast boy. Okay. A lot of people know that about me. Yeah. But it was really great.

And then we ended the night. Dan and Sarah started. Dan got on the piano and Sarah started singing some show tunes. And then all of a sudden, I'm naked in my bed. Oh. It's noon the next day. I have reached the threshold of I can't eat another fucking turkey or prime rib sandwich. Too many sandwiches.

Yeah. Too many. I know. Yeah. Thanksgiving is great. Now we're into Christmas. We did all that. Oh, this is the worst part the day of thanksgiving our

dishwasher goes down oh no still out too what do we do oh shit i think we just gotta buy a new one what do you do you got some fuck you get schlep some guy over to be like okay it's 150 for me to come look at it it's gonna be 700 for me the motherboard. No, let's just get the new one. Get a new one. Replace. Replenish. Fishbushes are gross anyway, you know? They are, but you need them after hosting. I know.

And now all of a sudden it's Christmas time, and now I'm having to worry about flights to places, and I'm worried about everyone getting... Where are you going? I told you I'm going to Whistler. And then we're also going to... I'm going to Dallas right after Christmas because my mom's getting remarried. Ah. I got to going to Whistler. And then we're also going to, I'm going to Dallas right after Christmas because my mom's getting remarried.

Ah. I got to go to another fucking wedding. I told you I was done with weddings. Yeah, I'm not. I have so many next year. Oh. And of course my mom has to do it. So like I'm in it, you know?

Yeah. Call me crazy. I kind of love the idea of a winter wedding. I just don't love the idea of it between Christmas and New Year's. That's when my mom's put it. I know. I know. She asked me to play the guitar. I was like, no, no, no, no. Why? I'm not going to be out there crooning

this wedding, all right? Or are you? No, I'm not. You're not going to? No, I said no. Absolutely not. I'm not like a 12-year-old, you know. I'm a 40-year-old man. Also, what are we doing? Let's just go to the courthouse lady i know anyways i love her to death but geez louise i gotta go to a wedding i know you got some faith things bro yeah bro what do you got because you've been down that means you've got

a lot of stuff i assume you know what though i gotta tell you yeah after like two fucking days of not leaving the bed yeah it was like the TV was on and my brain just refused to watch whatever was on it because I was so over being in bed and doing nothing. It was like I just blacked out for like four more days after that. So what did you do? Sat and stared at the wall. I don't know.

Jesus. But I did watch a couple of things. And speaking of aliens, I watched a movie that I really liked called Elevation. Okay. Do you know about this? No. I think I rented it on Amazon Prime.

With Anthony Mackie? Yeah, good cast. A single father and two women venture from the safety of their homes to face monstrous creatures to save the life of a young boy. Yeah, well, that synopsis sucked, so let me tell you about it. Elevation on Prime Video. So, set in the future, dystopian future, right? Like, something has happened. They tell you in the beginning, there's these monsters, quote-unquote.

They don't really say what they are, but there's, you know, essentially some predator that has wiped out the population. But for some reason, these predators stay below, I think it was 8,000 feet elevation. So everyone that lived has to live and stay above 8,000 feet. So this family lives in Colorado somewhere up high. Got it. And they've got a little community of survivors up there.

Anthony Mackie's character, his son is like dying and needs some medicine that they had some of and now they're out so now he has to go down to boulder to go through a hospital and like and like find some medicine for his kid you know yeah but boulder is below 8 000 feet oh my goodness so and these fucking things like you can't you're like are they aliens are they monsters are like what are they they're gigantic and they're fucking terrifying and he assembles like his little team and they go and it's interesting because like on the way down to boulder you know they they jump below and above the line of 8 000 feet so like they'll go below it for like 20 minutes and like pray they don't

die and then they get back above it and then they go back down or whatever and so it's this whole thing of like getting to this medicine and also trying to figure out what these fucking things are they do a pretty good job of like just showing parts of it in the beginning and you're like what the fuck is it it's really good what the fuck is happening here do they have altimeters how do they know how high they are and stuff? They show like people have made like an actual white line and put white posts at the line, essentially. Got it. So it's like you know if you're crossing it or not.

Also, like one of them wears something on her wrist that tells her, I guess, and like all these things. Okay. It's good. All right. We're going to check it out. I liked it. I watched a show called Interior Chinatown.

Have you heard of that? No. It's great. It's really show called Interior Chinatown. Have you heard of that? No. It's great. It's really, really fun. It's on Hulu. Background actor Willis Wu witnesses a crime in Chinatown while working on a TV show. As he investigates, he unravels a crime web and experiences life in the spotlight he'd only dreamed of. Interior Chinatown on hulu starring jimmy o yang who's like kind of

comic relief from like everything he's in a lot of stuff and then uh ronnie chang who he's on the daily show and then chloe bennett who's been in a lot of stuff oh yeah so jimmy o yang's character willis he works at a chinese restaurant in chinatown in New York. He's like taking out the trash one day and he's kind of like lamenting that his life is boring and wishes was more exciting and whatnot. And you kind of understand that he had an older brother who was like the prodigal son. He was like a Kung Fu master and his father had hung Kung Fu and he was like, kind of like the, like the big man on campus, but then then he disappeared and so Willis's character just like wishes like things were more exciting and stuff and then all of a sudden he's like taking that trash one day and he sees this girl get abducted

so then the police come and he kind of doesn't say anything and then this really pretty policeman comes in played by Chloe Bennett her name's Lana Lee in the show she's supposed to be like the Chinatown expert but she's really kind of just using Willis's character as the Chinatown expert to be able to have infiltrate and then it kind of like weaves this path of like trying to find this abducted girl to like everything might be kind of connected with like how his brother disappeared. You're not really sure if it's like an NCIS show. Like, are they in a TV show or is this real life? And it's kind of blurring the lines and stuff. Very, very fun.

If you like those procedural dramas and you also like comedy, this show, fantastic. Interior China on Hulu. Go check it out. I think you'll like it. Wow. Are you caught up on Silo? Yes, I believe so. Show, fantastic. Interior China on Hulu. Go check it out. I think you'll like it. Oh, wow. Are you caught up on Silo? Yes, I believe so. I'm two episodes into the second season,

or maybe three episodes. I think there was a third one, yeah. Yeah, I think maybe three episodes in. The first episode bored me. You know, she's like going to like a different silo or whatever, and then she kind of like, she runs into the silo where everyone escaped, which is kind of interesting, and then it looks like there's only one guy in there and the second episode i think

the third one was good because then it goes back to the original silo and it's just like a revolution starting yeah yeah i feel like overall like it's a little slow yeah slower than the first season for sure yeah so this guy this one dude and this other silo for the first couple episodes, I couldn't decide like, is this guy a bad guy? Is he going to kill her? You know, or is he just some poor, pathetic guy that's like been living alone for years and years and nuts. So like that was kind of cool, I guess. But overall, I'm just kind of like, I need something more to happen because at this point, it's just all kind of seeming a bit predictable right clearly at this other silo she's at there was a rebellion everyone left everyone died and and that's apparently what's

it's looking like it's gonna happen to her silo okay i think i need more than that you know yeah i don't know hopefully it picks up a little bit yeah i, I hope so. I watched Inside Out 2. Have you seen that? No. Did you ever watch Inside Out? Is that the kids movie? Yeah, kind of. It's a Pixar thing, so you know, Pixar does a good job of making kids movies, but then having jokes and stuff for adults.

A sequel that features Riley entering puberty and experiencing brand new, more complex emotions as a result. As Riley tries to adapt to her teenage years, her old emotions try to adapt to the possibility of being replaced. Inside out, too. So it's all predicated around the main character, which is Riley,

who's this little girl who's really, really sweet. which is Riley, who's this little girl who's really, really sweet. And then you see inside of her brain and every kind of emotion is portrayed by a different character. So like Amy Poehler is joy. Tony Hale is fear. And Louis Black is anger. Phyllis Smith from The Office is sadness. That was the first movie. And in the second movie, she starts to go through puberty. So then these new emotions show up. Maya Hawke is anxiety. Someone who is envy. word and it's like the it's like the emotion that kids have of like oh i don't care it's fine whatever like it doesn't really matter you know like that kind of like dismissive too cool for school thing maya hawk is anxiety she kind of takes over because riley gets invited to this like hockey camp with like all these older girls and she's gonna be going to a different school than all her friends and so maya hawk saying the anxiety thing of like her, like not making the team,

not making friends, losing your old friends, like all this stuff starts building up. And it just really kind of a wonderful way of like looking at humanity, I suppose. And we have all these different kind of emotions pulling us around. The thing that I realized, it was hard for me to relate. I brought this up to Sarah. Anxiety has never been a thing that like cripples me at all. Me neither. And so she's like, oh, so you're a sociopath. And I was like, maybe.

No. I don't know. But like, I remember when I was in high school, I think I wanted to be cool and stuff. But I still think I did whatever I wanted to do. I think that I've always had a very strong sense of self. I think. And so the movie was harder for me to wrap my brain around, I guess, or to be empathetic with until the end.

And then I started crying like crazy. You did? Oh, yeah. I'll cry in anything. She's this little hockey player and she's really, really good. Then I started crying like crazy. You did? Oh, yeah. I'll cry in anything. Ha. She's this little hockey player, and she's really, really good. And so anxiety takes over for her, and it's like she starts playing hockey. She starts stealing the puck from other people so she can score, so she can get all the points because she wants to make this team because she's anxious about not making the team and all this stuff and then finally amy poehler's character

who plays joy is like able to come back in like take over because anxiety is like gone fucking nuts right like anxiety attack i suppose so the part when amy poehler gets to come back in and she's playing hockey she's able to transfer like the emotion of playing hockey anxious to the emotion of playing hockey with joy. It got me. I was like, oh, oh my God. That's how you need to be when you're, when you're doing something you love. You need to do a joy, not with any other emotion, you know? And I was like, oh my God, what an amazing message.

I love this movie. Anyways, like for people, people like Sarah who do have anxiety, this movie does. Yeah, I think so. In her business, it's so much no, which I'm sure your life is just controlled by anxiety. Like I'm not going to get this part. Like, you know, I'm not going to get this thing or whatever it is. Yeah. Because all anxiety is, is fear about something that hasn't happened yet.

And all grief is, is fear about something that's already happened. You know, it's just fear. So she like related to that part whereas i related to the part of like the message for me is i need to remember to do the things that i love with joy and not with like any other emotions coming in i like that yeah christmas is basically here and you know me i'm not really great with gifts they're really tough for me so this time of year is stressful. The Christmas shopping just really gets to me.

It's the Sarah Paulson movie where... Oh, I wanted to see that. Yeah. It's not good? In 1930s Oklahoma, amid the region's horrific dust storms, a woman is convinced that a sinister presence is threatening her family. It's just kind of boring.

It just takes forever. That's disappointing. I know. just takes forever. That's disappointing. I know. It takes forever. The cast is amazing. You have Sarah Paulson, Eben Moss, Baccarat, the guy who's in The Bear. But yeah, it wasn't for me.

Even if you're into horrors and thrillers and stuff, you can skip that guy, I guess. Damn. Sorry. Where's my trombone? I have a bone to pick. With whom? With Yellowstone.

Ah! Are you watching this new season? No, I don't watch that show. Sunday's episode. I didn't like it. No? No. So spoiler alert.

Okay. If you have not seen the newest episode of Yellowstone, maybe fast forward for like a minute and a half here. Copy. Because there was a death, and I just really don't like the way that they did this, okay? Let me set the stage for you. The kid that's like homeless, that Rip and Beth kind of take in or whatever, he goes into a stall with a quote unquote dangerous horse, this horse that everyone's like deemed dangerous or whatnot. And the horse like attacks him. And I'm like, that's not very realistic. And then another guy, Wrangler, goes in to like save the

kid from this dangerous horse. And the horse attacks him and kills the guy. Okay, let's not villainize horses like this. Like, are horses dangerous? Yes. But is a horse going to attack you in a stop? That's just not realistic. I'm not saying it couldn't ever happen. I'm just saying it's like absolutely probably not in this lifetime ever going to happen. Can you die being around horses and working with horses?

Absolutely. But let's do it realistically, right? Let's have you working with the horse or riding the horse and have an accident? Absolutely. But like, let's do it realistically, right? Let's have you like working with the horse or riding the horse and have an accident and die. Sure. But going into a stall, like I just think that makes people scared of horses. I just like didn't love what they did

for the reputation of the horses in this episode. It just wasn't realistic. It wasn't acted well. It wasn't done well. It just wasn't necessary. And that's what I have to say about it. Dude, but horses are scary. They are, but they're not malicious.

Like they kind of made it seem like this horse is malicious. And like when after the guy, like if you're taking water into the horse's stall, it's not going to attack you. It's just not, that's just not what happens. I know. Horses give me a lot of anxiety. We've talked about this in the past. It comes from an understandable place. I had a friend whose mom was a paraplegic because she fell on a horse or whatever.

That's what I'm saying. Things like that. I was like, I don't need to be around this gigantic animal. But then also I've realized that horses are empaths, right? They kind of like take whatever your energy is and then send it back out to you. So you got to be real chill around them. That's why I not a big donkey guy big mule man because they don't give a fuck they're just living their lives yeah horses are

too it's too near and dear to your heart it's just like let's if we're you know and this horse this show is so like horse centered right like western lifestyle centered and there's just like a lot of things that they could have been more accurate about like i saw a lot of horse horse people on tiktok last week complaining about there's a scene where they give a horse antibiotics like in meds because it got bit by a snake they said the correct name of the medication it's called banamine but they shot it into the horse's neck like like an im shot and it's not an IM medication. It's an IV medication. So that could have killed the horse, giving that medication and the muscle like that.

And everyone was like up in arms on TikTok about it. Come on. Like you guys are supposed to be like actual like ranch men. And you're out here like giving IM vanamine injections. Like that's not realistic. Maybe you should be a consultant on it. Right, like hire me. But surely they know that

and they're like listen this shot's gonna be so much faster the shot of like getting an iv and do maybe that be too much and it's like whatever we'll make this into a two-second shot i'm sure i'm sure it was easier for the actor to fake the im injection than the iv injection yeah at the end of the day they have to know that like horse people are watching this show yeah because it's it's a you know and like're going to know those things. Just tiny things I wish they would think about. Also, on the other side of the coin, they're murdering people at the train station left, right, and center.

And in real life, cops would have figured out what's happening and arrested all those fucking people. You know? That's true. You have to allow yourself to remember that this world doesn't exist. I guess so. Let's just not give the horses a bad rap you know that's all i'm saying yeah okay fair enough you know fair enough i told you about this show from last week we now have finished all three seasons it's on mgm plus so it's hard to

find i had to buy it on prime totally worth it it is the best we are now watching it again that's how good it was really yeah because now we're like we want to watch it again we want to figure because it's it's like lost and it's created by the people who made lost once you've finished the third season you're like oh my god let's go back and like figure out like all these things because it's all connect interconnected and everything if you're a fan of Lost, please, dear God, watch From. It is the best show I've seen on television so long. Maybe I'll start that tonight. Dude, it's so good.

It's so good. Wow. Yeah. Guess what I did while I was recovering? What? I watched the first three Harry Potter movies. Oh, yeah. What did you think?

Never before seen. I was trying to keep in mind that these movies came out a long time ago and that the quality is going to be low. Okay. Oh, my God. I wish I had watched them as a kid because I think I would have liked them as a kid maybe. Yeah. But as an adult, I'm like, I don't really get it.

I'm only up to three. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everyone's like, they get better as you go. They get darker, they get cooler. Prisoner of Azkaban, did you get there? I don't think so. Sorcerer of Stone, Chamber of Secrets. The third one is Prisoner of Azkaban.

That's a good one. You didn't like that one? It was all right. Goblet of Fire's great. I think Half-Blood Prince is the best one. Okay. Order of the Phoenix is pretty good. Deathly Hallows is like, you know, is the ending.

Yeah, stick with it, man. All right, all right. Yeah. Fine. I'm going to stick by him forever. Dumbledore's an asshole. He puts this poor fucking sacrificial lamb up for the taking every year at Hogwarts. Hey, maybe do some of your own fighting.

True. Snape's a motherfucker too. Literally all I can think about this whole time when I watch it is you complaining about Snape. Oh, yeah. Even though he has a redemption story at the end, I'm still like, fuck you, dude. Fuck you. I feel like Malfoy is the one you should have been complaining about. Nah, Malfoy's just...

He's a little shit. He's a little shit, but he's got a complex background. He's also a child. Yeah, well, I don't like kids, so... Yeah, I guess so. Wait until you meet Professor Umbridge. Oh. This is a bold statement, and I stand firmly by it.

Tell me. There has never been a better villain, a more hateable piece of fucking garbage. God damn. Really? See you next Tuesday. Can't stand you. Want you to die. Worse than like Ramsey Bolton on Game of Thrones?

Oh, yes. And there's a lot of lists that'll be like the worst people you know and it'll be like yeah there'll be uh ramsey bolton and then joffrey dude professor umbridge really destroys them wow wait until you meet her she's such a see you next tuesday wow i saw this thread on Instagram that was talking about, you know the song, A Piano Man? Mm-hmm. The thread was, is the guy playing the piano in the bar, is he in a gay bar? Okay?

Okay. All right. So we're all obviously very familiar with this song. It's one of the best. You know? Yeah. But when you listen to the lyrics, you get to a point where you're like,

I think he's in a gay bar. And I just think he doesn't realize it. You know? Okay. I mean, we've all, well, I don't know if we've all been, I've been to a gay bar where I was like wait a second

not a lot of girls in here and a lot of guys really want to talk to me it's the regular crowd shuffles in okay There's a little regular crowd shuffles in. There's an old man sitting next to me, making love to his tonic and gin. Okay. Hey, you know who's gay? Paul, the real estate novelist who never had time for a wife.

And Davey, who's still in the Navy and probably will be for life. New head canon. Everyone in that song is gay except the piano man who has no idea he's playing at a gay bar and the staff and the regulars have a betting pool on how long it'll take for him to finally figure it out. So far, John is ahead. Hashtag that makes the man, what are you doing here line way funnier. Now, John at the bar is a friend of mine who gets me my drinks for free. Dude has a crush on you, my guy. Totally. The manager gives me a smile because he knows that it's me they've been coming to see.

Also implies that the piano man is possibly an incredibly attractive but oblivious himbo and if you listen to the rest of it imagining that it all fits a little too well this all makes too much sense also the full quote now john at the bar is a friend of mine. He gets my drinks for free, and he's quick with a joke or a light up your smoke. But there's some place that he'd rather be. Yeah, dude, your bed. He wants to be in your bed, honey. Yikes.

Lighting another man's cigarette is some old school gay crushing. My favorite part of this whole thread that I found is that Billy Joel actually addressed this interpretation. Oh. Quote, well, there's a new theory out there that's actually about a gay bar, said Joel. I was reading this and said, oh, I see how that could be. Paul was talking to Davey, who's in the Navy, and you know, continued Joel, who began singing the Village People of 1979 disco hit, In the Navy, which was embraced as an anthem by the LGBTQ community.

So yeah, there's a whole theory about it. He doesn't have time for a wife, he added. Joe went on to say he never intended for Paul, Dave, or any of the other characters in Piano Man to be gay. I never considered it, but I see it now. Also adding, it's very, very funny. Is he a friend of yours? But why does he get you your drinks for free?

Dude, lighting up another man's smoke? Yeah, in your bed, my guy! It's killing him because he wants to fuck you! No. You could be a movie star, honey. If you could just get out of this place. It's so funny What? Is it because you've been messing with David?

He is Why? For life! Oh, anyways Isn't't that so funny though? That's pretty good. It's pretty good. Pretty good. I found this. This was fun Mormon facts.

Do you want to do that? You know, I love the Mormon facts. I mean, who doesn't? At what age do Mormon men surpass men surpass all mormon women in terms of power and authority 12 12 you knew that one so scared that's my least favorite mormon fact of all time did you know that i can't say i did you know i'm not mormon so i'm not sure why i would a 12 year old boy now surpasses all Mormon women. How do you raise children in that environment?

Great question. Because if I'm 12, I'm going, hey, mom, get the fuck out of here, dude. What are you talking about? I've surpassed you. Yeah. So says Joseph Smith and the tablets. Gross. What were the other facts?

That was it. That was just the gross one. Oh. Yeah. What were the other facts? That was it. That was just the gross one. Ew. Yeah. But fun fact. It's a 12 year... Can you imagine? Dude, you could be such a super villain in the Mormon religion, I feel like. So it's Christmas time, obviously, and

we're getting in the Christmas spirit and we're watching our favorite Christmas movies. Brandi, what's your favorite Christmas movie? My favorite? Yeah. Probably The Family Stone. Thank you for answering it that way. That was mine for a long time, too.

Oh, really? Yeah, I love that movie. And then I showed my wife and my wife was like, this is when we were dating. She was like, what the fuck is this movie? Anyways, I saw this and it made me think of us because you and i both love this movie you're a sick fuck if your favorite christmas movie is the family stone there are some moments in life that i wish i could relive and you know experience for the first time again and watching this twisted movie is one of them if you've never seen it keep scrolling because i'm

about to bust this thing wide open we We have to talk about the swift swap of it all. Dermot Mulroney and Sarah Jessica Parker start this movie together. They are a couple. As the movie progresses, why do they swap sibling partners? Sarah Jessica Parker ends up with Dermot Mulroney's brother and Dermot Mulroney ends up with Sarah Jessica Parker's little sister. Oh, and if that swift swap isn't enough, Diane Keaton fucking passes away at the end of the movie. And so you have this funny, funny ha-ha movie. Oh, just Sarah Jessica Parker's character

is the most cringe character you'll ever see. I would actually love to see somebody try to find a character more cringe than her. It's so funny, but then there's this dramatic undertone at the bottom, and then she fucking dies at the end. Whenever someone tells me this is their favorite Christmas movie,

it's only happened a couple of times. I know you're sick. Cause this movie is twisted. It is a ride. It makes me feel crazy. And that's why I watch it. And so again, if this is your,

Oh, and I'm watching the scene where Dermot Mulroney is sliding in already to Sarah Jessica Parker. This movie is fucked. Okay. That's what makes it so great. It's so true, though. It is a really fucked up movie.

And I don't know why I never saw it that way. I don't know why. I mean, I saw it and I was just like, this is great. Yeah, it's crazy that they do the sibling swap. Oh, yeah. And then also Diane Keaton dying. Is it Diane Keaton? It is.

Dying of breast cancer is so sad. So tragic. So tragic. You need a little tragedy in a Christmas movie, right? Yeah, I guess so. I think the safe answer now is The Holiday. The Holiday is a good close second. I love that one.

Yeah. Yeah. You got any musics? I think the safe answer now is The Holiday. The Holiday is a good close second. I love that one. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yep. You got any musics? I don't think so. I was literally on Spotify yesterday just being like, this is fucking trash. I got a lot of stuff.

You do? Dude, I got so much stuff. Huh. Well, let's hear it. Did I play this Proxima Prada song? I don't think so. This one's called Static No More. Okay.

Life You keep demanding I define you Every day you're a puddle creeping from under my fridge Whole life You're a puddle creeping from under my fridge. Whole life. I keep getting my feet wet. Gonna take a look underneath and see what it is. Proxima Prada. Static no more.

I like that. It's a vibe. Very, very slow and sad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very Wells. Come on, that's what I do. This is Family Company and Jonas Smith, a song called Satisfied. Okay.

Dig on this one. I was justified when at least I tried. Love the bass line. family company jonah smith satisfied that shit can get it for me we'll do one more i got so much more for whatever reason i've been like on a kick of just finding new shit. But let's go out on something that people probably know really well. And that's Michael Kiwanuka. He wrote the theme song to what was that one with Nicole Kidman and They Lived in Monterey?

Big Little Lies? Yes, thank you. He's the guy who wrote that song. Is that show coming back? I don't think so. I think they finished it. One and Done, huh? Yeah. It's called One and Only.
