Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Chloe from Too Hot to Handle (and maybe Paradise) calls in!

Episode Date: May 6, 2020

This week on YFT, our favorite foreigner from Too Hot to Handle, Chloe, calls in to talk about celebrity crushes, her favorite things, and the chances of her appearing on Bachelor in Paradise. Plus, Wells and Brandi chat TV show theme songs, their next pick for The Bachelor, and their upcoming Zoom hangout: Your Favorite Happy Hour. Quarantine is getting weird and Wells’ hair is getting out-of-control-curly so it’s a good thing that this podcast is audio only (though Brandi briefly forgot this). Brandi tells the story of how she met John Mayer, who may or may not have been hitting on Miley, and Wells gives an update on his new favorite show 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. Last but definitely not least, make sure to give us a follow @yftpodcast so that you can get the Zoom link for our Friday happy hour!  Thanks to our awesome sponsors for making this episode possible!

Your hair is looking extra curly today, Wells. It's so long, I just don't know what to do anymore. You know, shave it up, shave it up. I can't because I told you this before. I've got a huge bald spot on my head. Who cares? Let that baby shine. I don't think that's how it works. You don't know because you haven't tried. That's fair. But I have a huge bald spot and like my head's like dented from when I stuck my head in the oven at two years old trying to get cookies and I shoved my head up in the broiler. Explains so much.

I still think you could just give it a go. I feel like we're about to go back to normal life. Tennessee's going back, baby. We're opening up. Tennessee's like, you know to go back to normal life. Tennessee's going back, baby. We're opening up. Tennessee's like, you know what? We got tornadoes. We got fucking corona. We got murder wasps.

I mean, literally, let's just go back to work. Yeah, it's time. It can't get any worse. You want our first born son? Fine. Take it. Really, truly, we did have some storms over the past two nights, and my power went out. The Wi-Fi was out for like a whole day and a half.

It was apocalyptic over here. Dude, a tree fell in my sister's yard, a huge one, and it could have taken out their entire house. Ooh, yeah. I was seeing that, too. Thankfully, none of the trees fell on my property, but it was pretty scary over here. Yeah. Don't you just love finding a concert ticket stub from 2017 back when the world was full of promise, happiness, joy. John Mayer, live at Bridgestone Arena.

Oh, great night. Too big of a venue for him. I mean, I agree, but I'll take what I can get because I love me some John Mayer. Have you ever met John Mayer? Yes. This is a great story. Okay. I don't remember the year, but it was when Miley was still Hannah Montana.

I'm going to have to dig up the photo to post on the Instagram this week. She was on tour. She was on the tour where she was like half Hannah, half Miley. She played like 30 minutes as Hannah, then did a wardrobe change while the Jonas Brothers played, and then she came back out as Miley Cyrus. Yeah. Pretty messed up now that I look back on it, but that's what she did. And John Mayer came to her concert.

I don't even know what city we were in. But it was back when I had like two-toned hair, like blonde on top and black underneath. And he was by himself. It's not like he brought his cousin or niece or somebody young to justify being there. It was just him. And he brought her a handwritten framed copy of vultures. Cause it's her favorite John Mayer song. How sick is that?

Wait. So he wrote it out like in a, on a piece of paper or is it like a single? Okay. Like handwritten. Super nice. Did he leave his phone number on there too? Probably,

but I was so starstruck. I didn't pay attention but yeah probably yeah because like not too long after that he dated taylor swift so yeah my boy likes to take down i mean like here's the thing here's the thing john mayer is a star my boy my boy here's the thing john mayer is a star but john mayer is also a star fucker yeah you know but he can do whatever he wants totally i mean like it's it's unfair really but like yeah straight up star fucker yeah you know but he can do whatever he wants totally i mean like it's it's unfair really but like yeah straight up star fucker so funny but anyway that's that was when i met john mayer and i do have a photo of me and miley with him my mom might be in the picture too

i'm gonna dig it up oh we gotta see it yeah i'm excited about the show today because later on we're gonna have chloe from too hot to handle i miss that show i do too bring it back i know shove them all back in the same room can't they just do like a live version of it like shove a bunch of people in a house and just like live stream it yeah sounds great but like one person has the rona and like so instead of a hundred thousand dollars you could get corona actually it would be kind of fascinating to see like everyone living in a house one person has it and you're trying so hard not to get it that poor person would just like you just feel like a piece of shit yeah i don't know what to talk about here we could start the show all right let's do it um you or me i think

it's my turn. Go for it. Quarantine bros and hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with... Wells and Brandy. Still quarantined. Kind of. That's pretty good, actually. Very excited.

Later on the show, we're going to have Chloe on from too hot to hand doll do you think she's gonna spill like major tea or do you think she's gonna be media trained i don't think you can train that woman to do anything you know yeah i mean no offense but like i mean she's amazing and wonderful but like doesn't seem like she's adhering to scripts over here, you know? Yeah, you're right. That's good news for us. Hey, when did your cook show come out? On Sunday. Oh, thank goodness. I need something new to watch.

Yeah. Six episodes of me looking like a dipshit on the Food Network. Perfect. Who do you think's going to win? Do you think it's going to be Johnny Bananas? Do you think it's going to be Robin Gibbons? Do you think it's going to be Joey Gladstone, aka Dave Coulier? Do you think it's going to be Robin Gibbons? Do you think it's going to be Joey Gladstone, a.k.a. Dave Coulier? Do you think it's going to be Brian Posain? Is the person that wins the worst cook or the best cook? It's like everyone comes there pretty bad

and then whoever makes the most growth. I could see Joey doing pretty good. Joey Gladstone for sure. I mean, he's a fan favorite. Everyone wants him to win because everyone wants Uncle Joey to do well. Yeah. So it makes sense.

Okay. So you're riding the full house train. Yeah, I am. Whatever happens to predictability? Milkman, the paper boy, the evening TV. What is his voice? I miss my old familiar friends. Because that's how it sounds.

It's a little bit of a rant. Everywhere you look, everywhere is a bomb. You know every word. I need to hold on to you. Oh, yeah? Can you do this one? It's a rare condition in this day and age. Reading the good news on the newspaper page.

Nothing to listen, but a grand design. Some people say it's even harder to find. Well, there must be some magic glue inside these gentle walls. Because all I see is the power of dreams. Real love bursting out of every scene. Days go by. Because it's the bigger love of every scene. Days go by. Because it's the bigger love, the family. Do you know what show that's from?

No. Fuck, dude. Really? I don't think so. Family Matters. I wasn't really big into that show. What about this one? Step by step, day by day.

What about this one? Step by step, day by day. We'll start over. People, this is the song we say. We'll make it better. Second time around. You know what show I loved was The Wonder Years. Oh, yeah.

That was a Beatles song was the intro, right? Yeah. Great show. I wanted to be Winnie Cooper so bad. I met Winnie Cooper once. I think you told us that actually on the pod. Yeah. Met Winnie Cooper and I met Daniel Fishel, a.k.a. Topanga.

Yeah. Topanga. And both of them dated the brothers. They were brothers in real life. Yeah. Savage brothers. Are they both directors? I don't know. I'm sure.

Corey directed a couple episodes of Hannah Montana back in the day. Really? So I got to meet him then. Yeah. Interesting. What is your favorite theme song ever? I don't know. I don't really listen to theme songs. Really? I mean, like, I tune out in the beginning, the intro.

I'm like, get to the show. Maybe Friends. I'll be there for you. Yeah was that was that the bodine's uh no actually i don't know the rembrandts how could we forget all right let's get into it that's a that's a great theme song we We all got to sing it together. I'm on it. No one told you life was gonna be this way. Your job's a joke, you broke. Your love life's

DOA. By the way, okay, so hold on. You're only stuck in second gear. Okay, so I think it was Vanessa Hudgens was singing this with Jimmy Fallon. I saw like on Instagram and I never knew the lyric was your love life's DOA, like dead on arrival.

Dead on arrival. Yeah. That's amazing. What do you mean you didn't know that? I don't know. How does this start? What do you think it was? How does this song start?

Your life's a joke, you're broke. Your love life's, I think I thought it was like, your love life is the same way your life's a joke you broke you love life's the same way yeah and then you always stuck in second gear oh man dude you know who should have really been fucking on listen to your heart this guy all right i've come out swinging with the heavy hits and the sultry buttery vocals move aside miley cyrus wells adams is coming for your gig i don't know about that what was the brady bunch theme well here's a story of lovely lady yeah yeah who was who was Who was bringing up three very lovely girls?

All of them like their mother, the youngest one in curls. Well, here's a story of a man named Brady who was bringing up three boys of his own. Something, something. Did you know the one I remember the entire fucking thing to? Now sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip that started from this tropic port upon this tiny ship. The mate was a mighty sailor man, skipper brave and sure. Five passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour, a three hour tour. The weather started getting rough. The tiny ship was tossed. Without the help of the fearless crew, the minnow would be lost. The minnow would be lost.

The ship set ground on the shore of this unshotted desert isle. With Gilligan, the skipper, too. The millionaire and his wife. The movie star. What the hell is that? The professor and Marianne here on Gilligan's Isle. What the fuck? You don't know the Gilligan's Isle theme song?

Oh, no, I didn't. I didn't get into that. I will concede that it is a show that is even before my time, but... I'm not going to say I'm too young. I mean, I am too, but, like, I used to wake up fucking super early and just fucking love me some Gilligan's Isle, dude. Loved it. What about Fresh Prince theme song?

Here's the thing. Like, I feel like the Fresh Prince theme song? Here's the thing. I feel like the Fresh Prince theme song is like almost overdone, you know? But iconic. For sure. Speaking of Gilligan's Island and being shipwrecked and being on a ship and stuff. God damn

were you right about Outer Banks. I freaking told you. Dude. Did you finish it? I finished it in like two days. Kidding me? It's so good. My favorite thing about Outer Banks is this, is that everyone calls John, John B.

John B, John B. Oh, his best friends, John B. The cops, John B. Police, everyone. Everyone calls him John B. Even like the girlfriend in distress, John B. I know. It's like, are you on The Bachelorette?

And there are like five other Johns. And we had to differentiate. Well, there's too many Hannahs. You be Hannah Ann. There's too many Johns. You be John B. I don't know. How that shows for kids, I do not understand.

Everyone's doing drugs and freaking. I told you it was edgy. It's just, yeah, it's great. It's great stuff. Okay, so here's my thing. My favorite character on Outer Banks. Here's the thing. I know Charles Esten, the dad, like the bad guy dad.

He slays it. He does, but like I've just known him as such a good guy for so long, you know? Like from Whose Line Is It Anyways to Nashville. And I know him personally. He's such a nice guy. It's hard for me to believe that he's like a bad guy. Yeah, I think he does a good job, though. He does. It's hard for me to believe that he's like a bad guy. Yeah, I think he does a good job though. He does. He's great. But I gotta say, my fave

character is JJ. Really? JJ's got a great character arc and you know what? Can someone get JJ some punan? Like everyone else is hooking up on this show and JJ's just getting the shit kicked out of him by his dipshit father

left and right. And no one will, you know, give him a handy, an inverted handy. He does the dumbest shit. Like, that's why he's not my fave. Like, there's just sometimes some of the things he does, I'm just like, can you get the frick out? Like, you're really just the gun, whipping the gun out all the time. Like, can you not? I know.

But here's the thing. The smartest guy in the show is also the dumbest guy in the show. Hey, Pope. Hey, why don't you finish your fucking interview for college and then go tell all your friends about whatever you figured out. Okay? I know. Oh, really? You're going to sink a $30,000

boat, bro? Really? How is that smart at all? But then JJ comes through and steps up. I know. JJ's the hero. That was cool. Anyways. Yeah. Outer Banks, guys.

If you haven't gotten into it, I don't care if you're 17. I don't care if you're 75. All right. Watch it. Watch it and just be into it because it's great. It's fucking. I mean, you were right, man. It is the outsiders meets the Goonies meets the OC. And everyone's attractive on it.

Is that weird to say? I'm sure those kids are all like in their 20s. You know? Yeah, it's just like the OC. Remember, they were like 25, like 17-year-olds. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. By the way, like John B.'s love interest, the rich chick, you know what she was in? Stranger Things.

Oh, who was she? She's like one of the friends. She's not like a big, not a big character, but she's in it. Oh, gotcha. Okay, that's like one of the friends. She's not a big character, but she's in it. Oh, gotcha. Okay, that's enough about Outer Banks. Let's call Chloe right now because I want to talk to her about Too Hot to Handle and Lana being the biggest cock block of them all. Hello, can you see me? Yeah.

Hi. Hi. How is the quality of the video? Because I have got another phone that has Skype on. I think it's great. Okay, real quick. I am so excited to have Chloe on YFT right now. By the way, I'm Wells.

That's Brandy. Hey. Hi. Welcome to the show. Do you have any idea who we are? welcome to the show do you have any idea who we are to be honest i didn't even know that like podcasts were a thing until i started um getting requests to be on podcasts yeah so i know so here's my love it here's my question have you ever heard of a show called Bachelor in Paradise? Is that the Bachelor where he gives a rose to loads of different girls? That's the Bachelor. And then there's the Bachelorette where it's a girl that gives a rose to loads of different guys.

And then there's a show called Bachelor in Paradise, which basically was the show that you thought you were going on in Too Hot to Handle. thought you were going on in Too Hot to Handle. And in the States, that show is very popular. And I am the bartender on that show. And I give drinks and I serve drinks. And then I give like bad advice or good advice to everyone there that's dating each other. So you guys were basically on the Bachelor in Paradise ripoff. But the thing was that you guys couldn't hook up with anybody, which was the big twist. Did you like doing the show?

Well, I mean, The Bachelor in Paradise sounds much more fun, doesn't it? Oh, don't worry. Don't worry. I have connections. And if you think that I haven't put your name in the hat for this show, you're crazy. Oh, my God. You are a diamond, aren't you? I mean, yeah, definitely.

I enjoyed doing it. If I would have known the twist before going in, I probably would have been a bit more hesitant of going in. Because, I mean, I thought it would have been boring. Like, it didn't seem fun to me. Yeah. But, by the way, the show is amazing. I have a lot of questions about it.

Specifically, was it so weird that you could walk in when guys were showering? I felt like that's such a weird thing where girls would be walking in and be like, all right, nice dick. All right, here we go. Got to get out of here. Well, yeah, I mean, I was very self-conscious when I was in the shower because there was literally cameras pointing right at the showers um but obviously they couldn't see anything because it was like um a misty glass in the middle so like you were covered but they could see your

head and they could see your feet so if any hanky panky were to happen they could see it and you also had to take your mics off and put them right next to the shower so if you were to speak and um say that you'd kiss someone lana would then know as well did anyone get away with shit that lana didn't catch no no fucking way lana literally is the eyes and ears of the house she has eyes everywhere and you cannot get away with anything and say if i kissed someone and wanted it to be a secret i would then tell my friend and if she didn't see it she would then hear it because i'm blabber mouthing you weren't allowed to jerk off or flick the bean from what i understand but how would lana know that if you're in like the bathroom and you're like lana i'm gonna take a shit and then you went badgered the witness for a couple of minutes.

That's a bit of a tricky question. There wasn't any live recorded cameras in the actual toilet cubicle. But I mean, the toilet cubicle, you could hear people walking outside and you could hear people talking and shouting and laughing. And it was constant like, right, someone else needs a toilet now. So you didn't really have time to think about that and when you're in a type of environment yeah you are horny you've been told you can't kiss someone makes you want to do it more I didn't get that feeling I didn't think for once I'm going to go to the toilet and fix the thing like that's what's in my head I just wanted to be like involved in the conversations that were happy happening and like kind of get down with

the goss that was happening in the house the dudes were happening and like kind of get down with the goss that was happening in the house the dudes were thinking about it i definitely think the dudes were thinking about it 110 david when he got told he couldn't he was like oh my god how am i gonna cope without doing that when i did the bachelorette we had like a bat to see who could go the longest without it and and i i weirdly enough like i think when you don't have like your phone or like a tablet to like you know enjoy help you out to help you out it's not as hard but i think i made it i think i made it six weeks into the show before i was like you know what whoa i gotta go to the bathroom for a little bit

crank one out i think i, we were in Argentina. I think I found some like weird fucking Argentinian magazine that was like, all right, this will work. The one thing that I still haven't gathered, I know they made a joke of it on the show when I asked Bryce, is blue balls a real thing? I still don't, I don't know the answer to that yet. Like, is it stupid? Because I said that like, is blue balls a real thing i still don't i don't know the answer to that yet like is it stupid because i said that like is blue balls a real thing like do you actually do your

testicles turn blue do they start hurting if you don't i don't think they actually turn blue it's not like violet your scrote is turning violet uh it does ache a little bit like if you get if you get kind of aroused here's the thing we have a lot of women listening to this show. So it was whatever. But I feel like guys use that. They overplay that a little bit for like a sympathy blowy, you know? A hundred thousand percent they do. I've had quite a few times when they're like, oh, but I need to finish.

And I'm like, yeah, we yeah we'll start why you don't fucking finish me off you know what i mean totally are they gonna do a second season and if i assume they will and if they do are you gonna be in it um to be honest i don't know if they're gonna be doing a second season um i hope they do because i really just want to watch the show from my point my point of view because i've already been through it and experienced it. I really hope there's another season. I loved it so much. Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about.

You need to go back because you didn't find love and we're all rooting for you. Yeah, but she's playing it right. She needs to come in like those three did where you come in with two episodes left and you some relationships and make some get get some drama stirring no around that's when you need to come in no that's what i was on paradise and that sucks you want to be there day one you want to be an og because then you get the most time there to create lasting relationships and financially generally you get paid by the day or by the episodes. The more episodes, the more days you're there, the more money you get. So I'm just telling you. Yeah, definitely. I get that.

I just think I would rather my own show. I think going back onto the show that I've already been on, I feel like I've already emotionally invested myself into that process and I don't need to do it again. It was like a sex rehab for me. I've learned what I needed to get out of it. I haven't found love, but I've got the tools to find love and put it to practice once quarantine's

ended. Man if Bachelor in Paradise they need to bring you on. Yeah. That would just be gold I'm telling you. Do you think I need to watch Bachelor in Paradise now? You do. You need to go watch the last season. You've got time. You've got quarantine time. Just go. I'm telling

you. You'll absolutely love it oh good i'm glad okay so the show is called your favorite thing uh podcast where we talk about what our favorite things are obviously your show was one of our favorite things so we like to get our guests to tell us what their favorite things are right now whether it's books or movies or television shows or instagram follows what are some of your favorite things chloe I know it's really like sad, but my Mac teddy bear lipstick is literally like, I can't leave the house without it.

I go to sleep with it on, I wake up with it on. All right, we got to get some money from fucking Mac. Yeah. Mac, pay up. Mac, give us some money. Anything else? See, I don't really read,

but I do watch quite a few films and series. So at the moment, I am absolutely obsessed with Liar. It's on ITV. I don't know if you guys would have it in America. It's like BBC. It's like a channel on TV. But yeah, it's just a program on that. And I'm just obsessed.

Yeah, it's about a guy that kind of meets this woman and he like does some horrible things to her and lies about it and then the whole series is just about like people getting murdered like this whole story unfolds and she was a teacher he was a heart surgeon and he loses his job he ends up getting killed and then like oh it's just you need to watch it it sounds kind of like we might be able to watch it on amazon oh really that's usually how they do it i'm into it i'm gonna find it where are you by the way like what country are you in i'm in england so i'm about an hour and a half away from london i'm in essex okay do you have any celebrity crushes leonardo dicaprio when he was in titanic

so thin leonardo dicaprio yeah besides anyone else no one's really on the radar for me at the minute i feel like you need to get some on the radar because i feel like you're in a great position to actually like go on some dates with some celeb crushes you know i'm saying definitely i think i need to set that up really i don't want to spread my eggs about that much and then kind of get lost track of who i'm talking to because that normally happens i get overexcited and then i'll start messaging like loads of people and then they're like oh hi oh hi oh hey what are you doing hello and i'm like oh my god it's like a full-time job. You've got to message them all back.

Brandi, Mother's Day, right around the corner, right? Oh, I'm so glad you reminded me. I've got an idea for you. Hit me. Okay. Remember, I think it was last year when I was talking to you guys about StoryWorth. Oh yeah. Okay. So we gave it to my dad for Father's Day and he's absolutely loving it and he's almost done with

it. So here's the deal. Basically every week StoryWorth sends my dad a question about his childhood, him growing up. And it's all, and so I see all the questions and then he answers it and they compile it into this book that you can keep as a keepsake for years to come. Give it to grandchildren, great-grandchildren. They get to learn who their papa was or their great-grandpa was, their vizier, their vazi was. And it's so cool. And I'm learning, I know my dad, I'm learning so much because it's questions that I would never even think to ask, you know, it'll be like, what did your dad do for a living? And I found out that my grandfather was a broom salesman, but really he was a card shark and he would just travel around pretending to sell brooms and really was a card shark. And my father ended up paying his medical school tuition with rolls of hundred dollar bills

that my grandfather won as a card shark. How freaking dope is that? That's wild, actually. Right? Yeah. Super sick though. Yeah? Yeah, it's super sick, though. Yeah. I love this idea. I really do.

And I'll tell you who else is really into this. Cause I come from a big family. My dad's pumped to see the book, but my siblings are like, wait,

I want a copy of that. You know, like everyone's totally. So it's a really good idea. So check it out. Story worth. Super cool. We got to talk.

Listen to your heart. Oh my God. We got to talk. Listen to her. She is farting on you. Okay. Yeah. Leting on you. Okay. Yeah. Let's unpack it.

Where do we start? We need to get the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy guys over to the house. We need to bring Sheridan in. We need to do a full makeover on him. Okay? No more of this like mountain man, Chris Stapleton thing. Let's cut the hair. He's got great hair.

We can, we can mold this man. We need to shape the beard up a little bit. All right. Where are you going with this? You want him to be the bachelor? Yes, I do.

Because me too. It wouldn't take much. Like he's a really good looking guy. He's just rough around the edges. But his, like we also though, like don't need to do too much because he has, like, great style. Like, I love all his, like, chunky rings.

Like, he's so, like, rock and roll. I think we need a rock and roll bachelor. Yeah. It is time. I'm here for it. I just think he needs to be, the hair and, like, the beard is just off-putting enough for women. But if you just, if you just a little bit fix it up, it's such a good looking dude.

You know what? I'm here for it. First thought was Sharon for match. Yeah. Harrison posted a picture of Julia and Brandon singing. And I wrote, please bring her to Mexico. And I've never seen so many people be like, no, no, don't you bring her to Mexico. And I've never seen so many people be like, no, no, don't you bring her to Mexico.

Don't you dare bring Sheridan. And to that, I'm like, guys, she would be fucking amazing down there. What are you talking about? You can't have nothing but nice people down there. Sheridan's way too good for Paradise. He needs to be the bachelor. Yeah, for sure.

Oh, yeah. Nice people down there. Sheridan's way too good for paradise. He needs to be the bachelor. Yeah, for sure. Oh yeah. Julia, man, I, there's a lot to say about her in last night's episode. I feel, but like at the end when she's just like bawling,

crying, and she's just like, I didn't deserve to be treated this way. Uh, yeah, you did. I was watching with Sarah last night and I was like, I love her so much. And she's like, you always liked the villain.

And I'm like, no, it's not that I love the villain. I love that there is someone out there that is filming a television show that either gives zero fucks about how they look or is so completely completely delusional about their whole persona that they are able to act like that there is no way if she sat down and thought about how this was going to look she had to know it was gonna look so bad yeah i don't think she knows man and i mean she does now obviously but at the time. I just also love that. Like I wanted the two can can two gaslighters coexist in a relationship where they're both gaslighting one another because it'd be so amazing just to watch Julia and Brandon just gaslight each other for like an entire series. If I have to hear Brandon say sweet. Oh, my God. One more time.

I'm going to puke my guts out. Yeah. Brandon, say sweetie one more time. I'm going to puke my guts out. Yeah. Just for the 17 guys that listen to this show, never call a woman sweetie. Never. Especially in the tone he uses.

Like, it is disgusting. Please stop. Yeah. But even in like, oh, sweetie, still, don't do it. No, it's still not good, but he always says it kind of condescendingly, and it makes me want to punch him in the face. For sure. I want to throat punch you. And when he was talking to Savannah, by the way, I love Savannah.

During their argument, like during their final conversation, she was so on her shit about what she, what to say to him. Like she was confident in what she was saying. She like knew she deserved better. She was like, said everything like just, she just said everything so well. I was just like, yes, girl, I am here for this.

He, and he's like, uh, can we have an adult conversation? Yeah. Are you freaking kidding me, bro? Yeah.

I cannot with him. When Julie was breaking up with Jared and Sheridan's like, all right, I'll see you later. And she's like, really? That's it. I love that because she wanted him to fucking cry.

And like, and like bigger, like she wanted him to fucking cry and like and like beg her. Like she wanted that and he was like, no, I'm gonna I'm gonna get out of here. And then it was like I was like, yeah, but then he stopped and he was like I'm laughing because it's because I don't want to cry. And I'm like, no, don't you do that. Sheridan, you fucking make her feel like shit because she doesn't.

Oh, man. Last night's episode was good. I it was good i thoroughly enjoyed it it's like here's the thing about natasha does she like to stir the pot yes she came in guns blazing on um what's his name that's american idol guy and so it's like did you know is julia is julia right about natasha just like stirring the shit yes Yes. But was Natasha wrong for telling her? No. And regardless of what her intention was, like Julia,

like if I were Julia, I would have been like, you know what? Your timing is off, but like, thank you for letting me know. Yeah. Thanks for having my back.

Like it's just nuts. Here's the thing about Natasha and Ryan. Do you see anything except for two people that are both really talented, that just want to win and that are playing the part just to play the part and win? No, I see no romantic chemistry with them. I don't know. I just feel like Ryan and Natasha out of everybody seem like they have the most experience performing. And to me, it's just like they're both like, you know what? Are we in love with each other?

Nah. But like you're hot and let's just play the part and like win this thing you know what i'm saying yeah but the best singer is is her name rudy rudy she slays she got the best voice she she plays and i love matt he's been my fave from the beginning yeah aside from his shit fade he is great you know it works for him i think he's adorable and i love that like like he's good you know like he's good he's for him. I think he's adorable. And I love that. Like, like he's good. You know, like he's good.

He's got a good voice and he's a good guitar player. Like I wouldn't say great. I would say good. She is phenomenal. And he knows that. And he just like, he just like does his thing and like lets her shine. And it makes her performances just so epic.

So anyways, yeah. Listen to your heart. Doing great. Yeah. Big fan. I got some other stuff. What'd you got? Did you know that I used to do improv classes? No. All right. Quick PSA for

Do it. Okay, so by the way, one of my favorite things in the world is improv. My original dream job was to be a writer, not a cast member, a writer on SNL. That would have been sick. I know. Way back in the day. So when I was in Nashville doing radio, I used to do improv classes. One, because my initial thought was it's a really good tool to have in radio, like to be able to like continue storylines and, um, like always be thinking of like how the punchline hits and like, it's a really good radio tool. And then I did it and it was like the most fun I've ever had

in anything. And I'm not the best improv person, but like, I've never belly laughed harder when I did improv and like, everyone should do it. If you have any type of public speaking you ever have to do, you should do improv. I say all that to say, have you seen Middle Ditch and Swartz on Netflix? Never even heard of it. Okay, so it's Tom Middle Ditch. He is the main character, the lead in Silicon Valley.

Great show, by the way. And then it's Ben Schwartz, who he's been in everything, but like I think the thing that people would recognize him most from is from Parks and Rec. He's on that show. You know that famous like, I think the thing that people would recognize him most from is from Parks and Rec. He's on that show. You know, you know, that famous like, don't be suspicious. No, don't be suspicious. Don't be suspicious. He's that guy. Anyways, they're both phenomenal improv

guys. They have a Netflix special right now called Middle Diction Sports, which was a touring company and they do long form improv. So it's not like really quick bits. It's like 30 minute complete improv stories that they're creating from just like one story that they hear in the audience. It's like really impressive that they're able to kind of like, they'll do like 16 different characters in one 30 minute show and they'll make them up all in the spot. And if you want like a good belly laugh go watch middle dish and swartz there's like five of them it's so good damn you know what else i've been getting into what have you been watching the beauty and the baker i saw this in your notes

and i was my first thought was we better be getting paid to talk about this show if we're going to talk about this show it looks so stupid to talk about this show. You don't like it? It looks so stupid. Maybe I can just relate to it because it's about like an ordinary guy landing a super famous, beautiful, way out of his league chick. You like this show, legitimately. I kind of do, dude. What is wrong with you? You're losing it. No, first of all, cushy time spot.

It's right after Listen to Your Heart. So I'm just like, let's get into it. I like it. At first I was like, there's no way in God's green earth that that chick would ever date that guy. Because he's kind of like plain looking. He's not like super hot, you know. He's not like John B. But then I started watching, the more

I watched it, the more I'm relating to this guy. You know, it's like, yeah, you know, sometimes you just fucking outkick your coverage and good on you, bro. And sometimes, you know, a baker in Miami lands a smoking hot fucking actress. It happens. Do they? I don't know.

But dude, I'm telling you, the beauty of the baker, don't sleep on it, bro. The name honestly just turns me off so bad. I just can't watch it. I know. But still. Oh, my God. And I'm sorry. I'm still doing 90 Day Fiance before the 90 days, guys. Oh, my God. It's just getting better and better, dude. Big Ed and Rosemary. Big Ed doesn't want to have any more kids and and rose does and like that's a big problem oh my favorite part was big ed giving rosemary fucking toothpaste because she's got bad breath and then she's like i have an ulcer you piece of shit it's amazing

oh my god but still the show's so good you You got Nip Tats. You got the Williams. You got Big Ed. Oh, man. Get in on it. What do you got? I got a book. I feel like we haven't talked books in a really long time. Okay. Right? When's the last time you read a book? Well, listened to a book. Been a minute, right? I'm listening to one right now. So I'm going to talk to that one right after you're done. Oh, really? How convenient. Well, hold on.

We talked about The Circle a couple episodes ago. I really liked that book. Oh, yeah. But that was a show. Oh, no, the movie. It was a movie, but I read the book. And I went back and watched the movie. It's close, but the book is so much better.

Well, that's always the case, isn't it? Yeah. So the last book I read was that jar of hearts book which by the way i continue to get people dming me telling me how much they freaking love that book so if you slept on jar of hearts i highly recommend getting it because everybody my my friend kirsten one of my friends here in nashville she came over this weekend and we like laid by the pool yesterday or the day before she She read that book in one day and it's like a thick book. She loved it. Real quick.

Tell me what that's about because I'll read it next. It's about a serial killer up in like Washington state who like dismembers people and buries their parts in the yard, but like doesn't really try that hard to hide it. But it's about these like high school kids. The most popular girl in high school is the one that gets murdered. This happens like right off the bat. And then it's like a serial killer that you find out killed her, but that it goes deep and her best friend was like involved in it and she gets put in jail. And so a lot of the book

is about like her life in jail, which is crazy. And then she gets released and then you find out all this other crazy stuff. There's so many twists. It's so good. All right. I'm into that. That was Jar of Hearts. Okay. What are you on right now? This one. So I picked this book up. I'm not going to lie. I mainly picked it up because I really liked the cover. Pretty colors like pink, purple, green. Looks like the Northern Lights. Like big

fan. So picked it up because I liked that. But I just started it. I'm really only a few chapters in, but I'm really loving it. I'll read the back. Wait, Randy. Randy, people can't see our screens so they have no idea what the name of the book is. Oh, just kidding. It's called The Lost Knight by Andrea Bartz. Okay.

And I think this is Andrea Bartz's first book. This is an impressive debut, so I'm assuming it's her first one. I think that's what that means, yeah. Yeah. So I remember he just snaps on the back everyone was shocked when beautiful 23 year old scene stir edie killed herself after a night of partying in brooklyn but did she really 10 years later her best friend lindsey begins to question if something more sinister took place that drunken night and worse if she herself was involved. Ooh. So it's kind of similar to the jar of hearts in the way that it's like the,

you know, the best friend is like, like wait, was the best friend involved. You know what I mean? Um, anyway, I really, really like,

I, like I said, I've literally only read a few chapters, but I'm into it and I will probably finish it this week. So I will give a full review once done. All right. So do you remember the book that i read that i was like obsessed with called the visible man yes i've talked about

it a lot and like seriously that's the one that was a movie we thought it was but it's not it's similar but it's not if seriously if you are looking for like a week like a crazy awesome book you need to go read the visible man by chuck Chuck Kloisterman. With that being said, I went to my book guru, Alon Gale, because we have similar tastes in books. And I was like, I'm obsessed with The Visible Man. I reread it recently during the quarantine. What else do I need to read? And he was like, well, have you read Raised in Captivity?

It's Kloisterman's other book of short stories. And I was like, no. And I've never been a short story reader. And I tell you what, ding of short stories. And I was like, no. And I've never been a short story reader. And I tell you what, ding for short stories because it's very similar to binging a television show. I can see that. 30 minutes and you get on an entire story and then you're on to the next thing, you know? Microdoses of straight dope. Stories so true they had to be wrapped in fiction for our own protection. From the best-selling author of

But What If We're Wrong, a man flying first class discovers a puma in the lavatory. A new coach of a small-town Oklahoma school football team installs an offense comprised of only one very special play. A man explains to the police

why he told the employee of his local bodega that his colleague looked like the lead singer of Depeche Mode, a statement that may or may not have led in some way to a violent crime. So it's all these like different short stories that are just bonkers. Anyways, Chuck Kloisterman, raised in captivity. Give it a read or a listen. Okay. Sounds crazy. It's good. Should we tell the people our exciting news this week? Yes. We should. I'm pregnant!

What? No, I'm not pregnant. I'm kidding. What's the exciting news, Brandi? We are doing a YFT Zoom hang. That's true. Your favorite happy hour? Is that what we're calling it? That is it.

So on Friday at 5 o'clock Pacific, right? Yep. So 5 o'clock my time, 7 o'clock your time, we are going to be doing a Zoom, which means we're going to be able to get 100 of you guys into a Zoom call, and we're all going to hang out, and I we're going to be able to get 100 of you guys into a zoom call and we're all going to hang out and I'm probably going to get drunk and Brandy's probably going to fucking look at horses off in the distance or something. I don't know. And we're going to

answer questions. What are we going to do? Didn't we decide to, um, make a little theme of like, of like maybe like an icebreaker topic of what you guys guys like what we miss most about Friday nights, right? Because we're all stuck at home quarantined like Friday nights have kind of just become any night really. Like what night is it? Who knows? I don't know. It doesn't matter.

We're at home. So yeah, we're trying to like bring back the excitement of a Friday night, kick it off for you guys with a little happy hour. I'll probably sip on some bourbon while Wells throws back Margs. I don't know. And we can just hang out. Like you guys can ask questions. I don't know if you guys are familiar with Zoom, but the way it works is like to get

100 people in. My mom and I did one last week. So if you joined in, you'll totally know. But we mute everybody when you guys come in because we don't want 100 people talking over each other basically. But there's also a chat, like a typing chat thing, like almost like a chat room. And you guys can type in there and ask questions or like raise your hand and say like, I want, I have a topic or something.

And then our host Cleo, who's going to help us out, she's going to filter through and just, and like basically decide who to unmute and kind of give you guys time to talk and ask your questions or get, get a topic going so that we can all hang and have a conversation. And it worked really well last time. So we're going to give it a go with the YFTers this week. And we're really pumped. I think it's going to be super fun. 5 p.m. Pacific time is when this starts.

So on our YFT Instagram, if you're not following, now's the time, at YFT Podcast. We will post the meeting link and the meeting ID for you guys. If you don't have zoom, download it. It's an app for your laptop. I think you can also get it on your phone. And then on Friday, when the time comes, you just click on that link and it'll take you to the zoom meeting. Like well said, only a hundred people can get in at a time on a zoom meeting. So the first hundred people are in, and there is this like waiting room feature where if you miss that cutoff, you can like wait in the waiting room. And if someone leaves, they'll let more people in.

So you can do that. But highly suggest logging in at five on that. You know, I also I want now that like this kind of like is getting fleshed out in front of us. If you have favorite things, I would like to hear them, too. And like exactly. I also want you to pitch it like we do it, you know, and like we'll have our bells with us.

Right. So like if someone comes in, it's like i have a favorite thing my favorite thing is this fucking show called liar it's on the bbc or whatever and be like okay good you know i want to hear that stuff yeah so there doesn't have to be a question by any means like in the chat if you have a favorite thing you can be like um i have a favorite thing i have a favorite book i have a favorite show and and cleo will um we'll let you guys in one at a time so that you can have the floor if we like these things if you guys are liking it, we'll continue doing it. If it sucks, then that's it.

And then who cares? Who gives a shit? Yeah, but we're going to give it a go. We're going to give it the old college try. Yeah, I didn't go to college. I did for a year, actually. I did for five years. Sounds horrible.

Dude, I feel so bad. Shout out to all the graduates at old miss i felt terrible the and actually this is such a humble brag but whatever i was gonna say why does old miss so the fucking dean hit me up and was like hey man we're unable you know we're not having a graduation we're not having a graduation. We're not having a commencement. Um, will you like do like a message to all the, all the graduates? So I kind of got to, uh, I kind of got to be a commencement speaker. Really?

You know, no big deal. All right. Is that it? Is that everything? I guess so. All right. That was a fun episode.

Yeah, it was good. I liked Chloe a lot. I liked her too. Dying to see her on paradise. We got good. I liked Chloe a lot. I liked her too. Dying to see her on Paradise. We got to get her on, you know? Got to. I don't know how.

They need to mix it up. I know. It's just, I mean, because of the quarantine and COVID and everything, like everyone's got to kind of pivot. Why not get her on, you know? I know. Great. All right, guys. Well, we'll see you in just a few days in Zoom.
