Starting point is 00:01:32 Oh, you are? Yeah. But is there a boy going to be there? No, it's me and Cat Olivia. You look really pretty tonight. Well, thanks, Wells, but I mean, I thought we'd take a couple pictures when Kristen's here, and that's about it. Okay, you want to do it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:46 You or me? You. All right, boys and girls, welcome into the Your Favorite Thing podcast with... Wells and Brandy. Boom. I let Wells start this time. We go back and forth, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Sharing is caring. I'm sorry we had to take a week off last week. It was fully 1,000% your fault. It was, but it000% your fault. It was, but it was a valid reason not to do the show. Yeah, yeah. I was out in California filming the finale, which is going to air on Monday. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:02:20 I'm Wells Adams, and I am so cool because I am on Bachelor in Paradise. Do you want to hear why I'm not cool because of that thing? I can name a thousand reasons why you're not cool, but yeah, please enlighten me. So it's very much like a Men Tell All or an After the Final Rose where there's like a hot seat and Chris Harrison and there's a stage and there's a bunch of chairs for everyone, right? P.S. Why am I not invited to these things? I don't even know why I was invited. I'm offended. Do you know where they put me? In the audience.
Starting point is 00:02:43 I wasn't even on the stage. I wasn't even on the stage. I wasn't even on the stage. But they had you come out just to sit there and watch? I literally am just in the crowd and I noticed they never talked to me. No? Everyone there, it was really funny because all the
Starting point is 00:02:59 cast was there and they're all like, why are you in the stands? I'm like, I don't know. That's so weird. So they had everybody else on the stage, like the Final Rose thing. Exactly. Except you. And they all thought that all the cast. The cast from day one thought I was the Bachelor. So they were like, you're in the stands because they're going to announce you as the Bachelor at the end of this.
Starting point is 00:03:18 And I was like, no. They're just being mean to me. Afterwards, I realized, oh, they had me there. I had to go do press. Oh, that's all they wanted you for? Yeah, and you've done press, I'm sure, a million times in your life. It's like in this room with every freaking magazine.
Starting point is 00:03:32 And they all ask the same question. Exact same question. And I got a little annoyed with the question because it was all like, are you the next Bachelor? And it was like, I know I'm not the next Bachelor. Stop asking me that question. Was this prior to the producer's tweet that you were not the next Bachelor? No, it wasn't. But wasn't that the creator of the show? I'm not the next Bachelor. Stop asking me that question. Was this prior to the producer's tweet that you were not the next Bachelor? No, it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:03:46 But wasn't that the creator of the show? I'm sad. Mike Fleiss. I'm sad. He crushed my dreams. Mike Fleiss, is that his name? Yeah. Mike Fleiss, you're a dream crusher.
Starting point is 00:03:54 In all caps, Wells is not the Bachelor. I was like, okay, dude. Get it. I got it. Why? I wonder why he was so willing to put that out there, but he hasn't crossed off anyone else, really. He said something cryptic about it's not anyone from JoJo's season.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Well, that's me. So that means it can't be Luke or Chase or myself. Right, but he made a point to say not Wells. I know, which is kind of weird. But I think, here's what I think. I don't think that they expected so much of a social media pull for me. Because I think those guys see me and they're like, okay, Wells is a skinny idiot.
Starting point is 00:04:27 They underestimated the campaign of hashtag Wells for Bachelor. Exactly. Started by Evan. Yeah, Evan and then having the Cyrus family jump on board is a big help. Yeah, I bet. So I start doing press down after the show, right? And I get a little annoyed,
Starting point is 00:04:44 and so I start thinking of ways that I want to get weird words in my interviews, and I think I've reached the pinnacle of my career, okay? I feel like I saw on Twitter what you said. I somehow weaseled the word taint into my interview. And were they okay with you using that word? E-news. But here, can I play it?
Starting point is 00:05:06 Oh, yeah, please. I've been dying to hear it. Twitter has also been talking about you possibly being the next Bachelor. I know, because Twitter's stupid, full of stupid people. I'm an asshook, but what are your thoughts about ever taking on that role? Do you think that I could do that? Like, honestly. Does anything about me scream like American heartthrob?
Starting point is 00:05:24 Nick has like abs from his taint to his neck. Yes! I don't have that. There's no way that they're going to air that. They air it. I don't know. It's out. For the People magazine, I said from his gooch to his chin.
Starting point is 00:05:39 I don't know if they're going to air it. Oh my gosh. Isn't that funny? I'm shocked. I had a handler walking me around. And so the handler was like, you just said taint on national television. I said, I've been doing puppetry in Mexico after a sexual misconduct scandal. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:05:57 I'm not sure if taint's the worst thing that's happened here. But I don't think I've ever heard it said in an interview from anyone ever. I know, I'm really proud of it. I feel like it's the best thing I've done. I wouldn't go that far, but it's definitely shocking. What's the best thing I've done in my entertainment career, Brandi Cyrus? Choose to do a podcast
Starting point is 00:06:17 with me. That's it, I knew it. Your favorite thing, podcast. That's right. Although my favorite thing, ding, ding, ding, that Wells does is all of the puppy posts for the Humane Association here. I know. That's the best thing you've done in your career.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Tomorrow they're coming by. They always send like a picture of the puppy that they're trying to get adopted like the day beforehand. So I got it today. So I know who I'm meeting tomorrow. I'm pretty excited. That's so cute.
Starting point is 00:06:41 I know, man. Speaking of animals, I signed up to volunteer this week in Lebanon and they're taking volunteers for all the animals that have been brought in from Texas for the hurricane.
Starting point is 00:06:53 So we've got a bunch of them up at that animal shelter and they need volunteers to come walk them and feed them and just help get everything going. I wonder if I should go get one and just put him in the backyard
Starting point is 00:07:02 with Carl and like... I'll take this one for a while. We'll like hang out and like. Foster it. You could do that. I'll do it. Yeah. I'm down. Is Carl does Carl love to play with other dogs? So it's a weird thing like. He definitely has only child syndrome. He does
Starting point is 00:07:18 but like at the doggy hotel totally fine. Why do you laugh at that? The doggy hotel. What do you call it? I don't take Feather to a doggy hotel. Oh, I'm sorry. That's insane. Okay, can I start bringing Carl to the Cyrus Ranch? It's called a dog sitter.
Starting point is 00:07:33 It's not. Oh, no. I don't know. No, no, no, no. No? If I want to be gone, I might as well. Okay, so yes. You might as well pay a bunch of money to send him somewhere bougie.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Yeah. No. Exactly. My friend Adam, he has a French bulldog and he takes him for facials once a week. Really? Blueberry facials. It's a real thing. That's ridiculous. I feel like guys
Starting point is 00:07:53 spoil their pets more than girls do. I would agree with that. It's insane. I mean, I'm sorry, but the saying is man's best friend. Okay. Don't even. Diamonds are a girl's best friend. That's Don't even. Diamonds are a girl's best friend. That's a bad path to go down, Wells. Well, I just think like,
Starting point is 00:08:08 I think that for guys, it's a much stronger- Gender equality! This is not, I don't think this is a conversation you want to have. All right, fine. I won't have it.
Starting point is 00:08:19 How is it different for guys? I don't know. Women are much more like, what's the right word? Nurturing? Yes, thank you. Nurturing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:29 I would agree. I mean, I'm just saying the saying is man's best friend. It's not a woman's best friend. It's from way back when. This is like some misogynistic thing. Yes, it is. No, it's not. You tend to get yourself into this pigeonhole here.
Starting point is 00:08:43 No, because the saying is, isn't a diamond a woman's best friend? I'm not mine. I know. I was about to say I'm not wearing any, but that's a lie. Are you? Yeah. But I really, I hate jewelry, actually. It's not really my thing.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Yeah, I don't like it either. You're a guy. I know. You don't like getting it for girls? What's your go-to gift to give a girl? Favorite thing to give a girl. For Valentine's or an anniversary or something like that. This is going to sound so... Cheesy.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Cliché hipster. Okay, great. I can't wait. I like to get a record that means a lot. Oh, it is so hipster. I know. And then, so this is what I do. I have a typewriter.
Starting point is 00:09:21 That's even more hipster. My gosh. You do need to be the bachelor. I have a mustachewriter. That's even more hipster. My gosh. You do need to be the bachelor. I have a mustache and suspenders. You can't grow a mustache. I can't. I grow facial hair like a 14-year-old Hispanic boy. So usually what I do is I go find a record that I know that we both like.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Usually it's like an older record. And then I wrap it. And then I have this typewriter. And I have the typewriter not because I'm a hipster. It's because I have the worst handwriting in the world. You know, there's these things now called computers. I know, but it's cooler to get a typewritten note. I wouldn't know. I've never received one.
Starting point is 00:09:58 All right, well, one day I'm going to get one for you. Great. And I write some sweet thing and then wrap it all together. Some sweet thing. Some sweet thing that like makes a girl just melt. Oh boy. Barf. And then get like a bottle of wine. Oh this is so absurd. And then listen to the record
Starting point is 00:10:13 while you get kind of drunk. So is it safe to say that a requirement for you with a girl that you like or whatever they're going to be with is a similar taste in music? Is that pretty necessary? I think so. I figured it would be for you. Here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:10:28 What if Liz Hewitt only listens to Taylor Swift? Do you still want to date her? Can I just say I don't think that first song is very good at all. I don't want to piss off a bunch of people, but I just didn't think it was a great song. I can't speak on this topic. Okay, I'm sorry. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:10:46 As the music aficionado in the room, I thought it was kind of weird sounding. I didn't think it was like... I get it she's trying to change her image, but whatever. Back to the thing. I totally don't care whatever music you like, because I like very, very specific music.
Starting point is 00:11:02 But I think that as long as you can say, like, I appreciate the kind of music you like because I like very, very specific music. Yes, you do. But I think that as long as you can say, like, I appreciate the kind of music you like. Yeah, and that's cool. If you don't like old Otis Redding records, you're out. There's something f***ing wrong with you. Just straight up.
Starting point is 00:11:18 You know, like, if you don't like drinking a glass of wine listening to, like, I don't drink wine. I don't like wine. See, guys, this is why Wells and I can't date. I listen to hip-hop and I don't like drinking a glass of wine listening to like sitting on. See, I don't drink wine. I don't like wine. Okay, whatever you're drinking. See, guys, this is why Wells and I can't date. I listen to hip hop and I don't drink wine. All right, quick PSA for those of you out there who rent.

Starting point is 00:14:12 But you like Snoop Dogg. Doggy style. That record was phenomenal. Snoop is the nicest person ever. I believe that. He's baked all the time. He's so nice. I interviewed him once at South by Southwest.
Starting point is 00:14:23 I used to work for Fuse. He was a news correspondent. And I sat down with him, and two words in, he said, you look like Miley Cyrus. And I was like, well, she's my sister. And he was like, shut the hell up. And I was like, no, she isn't. And he said something about diamond earrings. And he was like, I've got to have some earrings for Miley.
Starting point is 00:14:42 And I was like, where are mine? And he was like, I'll get you some too, baby. He was so sweet. Did he get you some? No. No. Was he baked? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:49 It was South by, of course. I was reading this story about how smoking weed, speaking of, this is one of my favorite stories. Apparently smoking weed slows down your little swimmers. Oh my God. Your sperms. Yeah. I know what you mean.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Yeah. I got it. So, I guess just a few months ago, scientists discovered that sperm counts have plummeted 60% over the past four decades. Yikes. And now a new study says that smoking weed slows down the swimmers. The researchers actually describe pot smokers' little swimmers as mellow and lazy, and they observe that they swim in circles.
Starting point is 00:15:23 This can't be true. I'm reading it right here. It came on the internet. It must be true. Oh, it must be that they swim in circles. This can't be true. I'm reading it right here. It came on the internet. It must be true. Oh, it must be true if it's online. Your sperms get super baked, and it's like, I don't care. Do you think that's true? Yes, I do, and I think it's hilarious,
Starting point is 00:15:36 and also a good reason to keep smoking weed, because you shouldn't be having kids if you're getting baked. Well, really? Okay, yeah. I don't know. I don't smoke weed, so I don't know anything about it. Your mom does, though. I know.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Let's call Tish and ask her. It helps her sleep, Wells. I loved how candid your mother was about that. In case you guys are wondering, I, later that day, texted Wells a photo of a gold hat in my mother's car with a rhinestone weed leaf on front of it. It was just so perfectly timed. Amazing. If you don't know what we're talking about, last
Starting point is 00:16:11 episode we had your mom, Tish Cyrus, on. We did. She booted Derek. She booted Derek, but Derek ended up making the show. Yeah, I know. I liked that. I didn't know that until I listened back. He was funny. I'd actually like to have Derek back sometime. I have a lot of questions for Derek. Yeah. Now that I've been watching Paradise. have Derek back sometime. I have a lot of questions for Derek. Yeah. Now that I've been watching Paradise.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Yeah, well, you're going to have some more questions for him going forward. Well, I know, but people already know this, right? Yeah, it was released. It leaked. Yeah, they're engaged. Yeah, which is annoying to me. So do you want to hear a funny story about that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:40 So I fly out on Tuesday. We filmed on Wednesday, this past Wednesday, right? Right. That's a burp. That is disgusting. I'm drinking a beer. Let me live a life. Oh, my gosh. Okay, so in the Bachelor world, when you get to filming anything, once you get there, they
Starting point is 00:16:51 take your phone away, okay? Because they don't want you corresponding with other people, especially like the girls and like formulating what your plan is. Oh, I got it. They want everything to be like super fresh and like honest, which I love. I like that too. Because I was a bartender, they never took my phone away in Mexico because I lived off-site. So when I got there, they were like, you can keep your phone, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:17:12 And Derek gave him his phone, but he kept his iPad, which you can message from, right? So Derek hits me up and he's like, hey, what room number are you in? And I was like, I'm in 611 or whatever. And he was like, okay, I'm freaking out. By the way, I knew he was going to do this. And he's like, I'm freaking room number are you in? And I was like, I'm in 611 or whatever. And he was like, okay, I'm freaking out. By the way, I knew he was going to do this. And he's like, I'm freaking out. I'm a little drunk. I need you to come talk to me.
Starting point is 00:17:32 Oh, no. And I was like, I got you, bro. I got you. So I went downstairs to the bar and I bought, by the way, you can do this. I bought a bottle of whiskey from the bar. How much was that? A lot of money. My gosh. So I take the bottle. Did from the bar. How much was that? A lot of money. My gosh.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Yeah. So I take the bottle. Did you guys drink the whole bottle? Yeah. So we go back up. I go back to Bush's room. And he's like, I'm working on my engagement speech. Think about how stressful that is just in the world.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Just like a normal human being. Right? And he's going to do this on camera. Yeah. Now compound that with television cameras, live studio audience, all your friends, and then millions of viewers. He's losing
Starting point is 00:18:12 his mind. Oh my gosh. Derek? I'm not quite sure, though. I would want my significant other to write this engagement speech while drunk. No, so he wrote it sober, but he was getting himself drunk because he was of nerves. Got it.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Was he trying to memorize it? Yes. I was trying to, oof. So as a person who speaks for a living, that's one of the things. By the way, we're like best friends, but he was also like, I need you to come up here and hear it. So I went up. Derek proposed to me like 17 times. It was the most romantic thing in the world.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Why did you not film this? I don't know. And then, of course, I was giving him notes. I was like, you could put a joke there. Oh, my gosh. There was parts where he was forgetting, and I was giving him industry tips on how to remember things. On Monday, you'll see. It's really, really heartfelt and beautiful.
Starting point is 00:19:05 So he has you to thank. Yeah. For the incredible speech. Of course. Of course. I'm taking credit for- Oh my gosh. Are you going to be in the wedding?
Starting point is 00:19:14 Clearly. Can I tell you what he told me? I don't know if I'm supposed to say this. It doesn't really matter. He told me that, by the way, he was drunk, but still. Okay. He was like, you're my best man. Oh.
Starting point is 00:19:26 But like, I was in Evan's wedding. I know. I'm now going to be in this other wedding. Take me to Derek's wedding. You want to be on my date? Yeah. 100%, you're my date. All good.
Starting point is 00:19:34 You're in there. Yes. I just want to be included. Slash, weddings are a great place to meet guys. You want to be my date, and then go meet other guys. Yeah, a thousand percent. All right, we got to actually do the show. I know, guys. Yeah, a thousand percent. Alright, we gotta actually do the show. I know, okay.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Alright, your favorite thing podcast, Wells and Brandy, who's our guest? Kristen. Yep. What's her last name? I don't know anyone's last name. Whitney. Kristen Whitney? She's our guest. I've actually met her though. She was at Noah's show for the radio station. Yeah, she was. For those of you that
Starting point is 00:20:03 don't know her real name on The Bachelor in Paradise, she's known as Scallop Fingers. She is. I feel like she has a lot for you to think for that quite a bit. I feel like you really egged that on. I didn't egg it on. You did. I'm getting a lot of I'm being a bully stuff.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Really? A lot of it. Don't get me started on who's a bully. Why? Are you a bully? No. The freaking twins are the biggest bullies I've ever met in my life. I haven't met them. Seen in my life. I was shocked. I was too. I have a lot to say about that.
Starting point is 00:20:33 We'll come back to it. Oh, we can just get into it if you want to. You know, we have the worst ADHD. Like, for someone that doesn't have ADHD, I have it when I'm with you trying to do a podcast. I have ADHD. Oh, my gosh. I have it when I'm with you trying to do a podcast. I have ADHD.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Oh, my gosh. I think the new, like, format of our show is that, like, we're constantly trying to actually do the show and never actually do it. Yeah. We need to change the name to Wells and Brandy Never Talk About Their Favorite Things. Yeah, so, but, yeah, I get a lot of bullying stuff. You did? No. It's clear that you're just, like, the funny guy that's making jokes and cracking jokes, whatever. I think that's your clear role. And I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:11 It's all lighthearted. We'll wait until she gets here to really get into it. I do feel bad for her. But in that world, I realize that if you don't own your shit, you are going to get railroaded. Well, that's in the real world, too. Yeah, but if you own it, and you do the Eminem eight-mile thing where you get up on stage,
Starting point is 00:21:32 you say all the things everyone's thinking. Yeah, I think that's applicable to real life as well. I'll tell the story when she gets here as to why I was the one who had to tell her why she was called Scout Fingers. Gotcha. Yeah, I want to hear all this for sure. And I think it'll make more sense when you find out why I was the oneallop Fingers. Gotcha. Yeah, I want to hear all this for sure. And I think it'll make more sense
Starting point is 00:21:46 when you find out why I was the one who had to do it and why I was trying to put it in a positive light and own it. Yeah, yeah. And I think she... She does. She does, yeah. At first she was a little like, really?
Starting point is 00:21:59 Well, she found out about it and then the next day we filmed our intro packages and she was like, yeah, I'll do the shrimp. Gotcha. You know, like, owned it, like, immediately. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, whatever. Super cool.
Starting point is 00:22:08 I've never had scallops. I can't wait to talk to her about this. Seriously. Your favorite thing podcast starts now. 21 minutes in. To help us out, I sent out a little tweet-ski earlier. Yeah, I saw this. Telling everybody, hey, Wells and I are recording today.
Starting point is 00:22:23 What do you want to hear about? Favorite things about autumn? It's totally acceptable to be wearing the beanie and the cardigan and no one judges me. It's true. Even though you do it year round anyway. I do do it year round. He's literally wearing a beanie as we speak. I am. It's insane. Can I have my thing? You can.
Starting point is 00:22:40 It's just kind of weird, but you do you. I'm going to do me. My favorite thing about fall is so many things. you do you. I'm going to do me. My favorite thing about fall is, oh, so many things. I love fall. I love colder weather, and I love all the colder weather clothes for sure. But also, I don't like, like I'm a big coffee drink. I drink just too much coffee. But I like hot coffee.
Starting point is 00:22:56 I don't really like iced coffee. So even in the summer, I'll drink hot coffee in the morning or even in the middle of the day, and I get a lot of crap for that. So I love fall because I finally am justified in drinking my hot coffee. How do you feel about pumpkin spiced latte bullshit? Not a fan. No? No.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Good for you. My go-to coffee drink, my favorite coffee drink, I get a hazelnut latte with coconut milk. It's kind of my thing. Ooh. That sounds nice. Do you drink coffee? I do.
Starting point is 00:23:23 What's your go-to? Coffee. Just straight up. Black. I put a little bit of Splenda in there. Splenda! That sounds nice Do you drink coffee? I do What's your go-to? Coffee Just straight up Black I put a little bit of Splenda in there Splenda, it's awful for you No way, it's zero calories I thought it was good
Starting point is 00:23:33 That doesn't Is it better than sugar? I don't know the answers I think a little bit of just that raw sugar Is probably better for you Actually, do you know what I do? Sativa How do we feel about that?
Starting point is 00:23:43 Meh Is that right or is that weed? That's weed. That's weed! Is it? You're thinking of stevia. Stevia. Yeah, I mean, sativa.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Also weed in there. Also weed in Wells' coffee. I don't know. I'm not an expert on that. I just think all the artificial stuff is, but that's my opinion. I have the sativia stuff. Stevia. Stevia. Whatever it is, I have that But that's my opinion. I have the Sativia stuff. Stevia. Stevia.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Whatever it is. I have that stuff. Oh my God. And I have it like in a dropper. So it's cool. Sounds like Sativia. It might be weed. What if I'm doing that and I don't even know?
Starting point is 00:24:15 I think you've been drinking weed. Like I got it in California and I was like, this sounds great. Oh my gosh. That would make a lot of, actually it wouldn't make any sense at all because you're so hype all the time. I know, right? Yeah. Maybe you should start something.
Starting point is 00:24:27 I did an Instagram live and someone was like, do you ever stop talking? And I was like, well, I thought that was the whole point of this thing. Oh my God. I don't think he does. I don't think he ever stops talking. I think he goes home and talks to Carl. Yes. And I think he comes to work and talks all day.
Starting point is 00:24:39 I know. And he probably talks in his sleep. Who can we get on the phone to answer that question? I don't know, but you know what one of my favorite sounds are? Oh, yeah. That would be a Coors Light. That's right. People.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Okay. Tap the rockers. We're getting distracted. Somebody else said music. Do you have anything new you're listening to that you're loving? Can I just say that I absolutely, I've always loved this band, and I'm just really excited that they are now considered a pop band, because I always thought- What's Golden Man?
Starting point is 00:25:03 Yes. Noah's a big fan. Dude, freaking, Feel It Still is such, it's one of those songs that every time you play it, you just can't stop, head bop. Yeah, it's a bop. It's a literal bop. It is a literal bop.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Yeah, I agree. What about you? What about, okay, so I know you love this band because you tweeted at me once and said it was the greatest thing I ever said, the war on drugs without a new record. Thoughts? So I love that band. I tweeted at me once and said it was the greatest thing I ever said. The War on Drugs without a new record. Thoughts? So I love that band.
Starting point is 00:25:26 I do too. It's such a throwback sound. You know, like almost like this weird Mark Knopfler. No one knows who that is, but there's a band called Dire Straits from back in the 70s. It's badass. It's got this kind of throwback sound. And do you want to know what's up? So I love that band.
Starting point is 00:25:41 I do too. I also love, I used to have a really big crush. Not used to. I still do. I have a really big crush, not used to, I still do, whatever. I have a really big crush on Kristen Ritter. Do you know who that is? Oh, yeah. So she's Jessica Jones on Netflix.
Starting point is 00:25:52 She's like stereotypical, my type of chick. Totally. Short, dark hair. Pale. Pale, pretty. Probably got tattoos, who knows. Yeah. Piercings.
Starting point is 00:26:02 Edgy. Cool girl. So I was watching. Oh, by the way, I have a girl for you, but continue. You do? Yeah, somebody mentioned that they thought you were cute and blah, blah, blah. I'll tell you about it later. Yes.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Okay. So I was watching Jessica Jones. One of my favorite things. By the way, Jessica Jones. Jessica Jones. Great show, by the way. Okay. It's a little older, but whatever.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Yeah. And I was like, God, I wonder who she dates. I looked it up. No. Guess who she dates. No. Lead singer of the Warren Jugs. I'm jealous. His voice. I looked it up. No. Guess who she dates. No. Lead singer of the Warren drugs. I'm jealous.
Starting point is 00:26:26 His voice. I know. It was like one of those, it was one of those things where I was like. It's interesting. Okay. I can live with this. Yeah. Like when I found out Jon Snow and freaking Khaleesi are really doing the.
Starting point is 00:26:37 No. No, they're not. He's engaged to the other girl from the show. No. No, no, no. What? There's like pictures of them kissing and stuff. No. It is a. What? He's with the show. No. No, no, no. What? There's like pictures of them kissing and stuff. No.
Starting point is 00:26:46 It is a, what? He's with Ingrid. No. Yes. You know nothing, Jon Snow. Now I'm going to say you stole it. They're together. No.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Yes, they are. Don't crush my dreams. Look it up right now on your little phone. Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, pound town, population two.
Starting point is 00:27:01 This is terrible. Although I love Emilia Clarke. The first thing that pops up when you say Kit Harington girlfriend is that girl Rose, Ingrid. Okay, so then now type in. They like moved in together in May of this year. I'm telling you, you're wrong. Picture of Kit Harington and Amelia Clark kissing. Maybe they were practicing on set.
Starting point is 00:27:20 God, can you imagine how great of a job that is? Yeah, but people do that. Look at this. This is not them practicing on set. That's straight up can you imagine how great of a job that is? Yeah, but people do that. Look at this. This is not them practicing on set. That's straight up. That looks photoshopped. That is photoshopped. Where'd you find that? Business Insider. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:34 My gosh. Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington admit that Game of Thrones sex was weird. What's hotter? Blonde Emilia Clarke or brunette Emilia Clarke? Blonde for sure. She's so much prettier. But I love her no matter what. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:27:47 It doesn't really matter. You just like brunettes, Wells. I do. You could shave her head. Here's my thing. She looks very ordinary with brunette hair. Still beautiful, but ordinary. And with that platinum hair, she is stunning.
Starting point is 00:27:59 It pops. I mean, she looks like a freaking queen. Hence the reason she's got, you know. I don't think you're right about that. I think Kit is still happily with Ingrid. Sl, slash her name is really Rose in real life. Who's the prettiest girl in the world right now? There's too many pretty girls. One of my favorites.
Starting point is 00:28:13 There are so many. Said with such disdain. There are so many pretty girls. I think Rachel McAdams is absolutely stunning. She's like one of my tops. Like, if I could look like anybody, she's one of them. I think she's beautiful. Had a huge crush on her back in the day.
Starting point is 00:28:25 She does not have, well, she's had brunette hair. I take that back. You probably liked her during Wedding Crash or your song. Of course. Was that your Rachel McAdams thing? No, and then didn't love her so much in Mean Girls. Because she was blonde. Wells doesn't like blondes.
Starting point is 00:28:39 All right, I got to be honest with you. You have a point. I don't know what to tell you. There's nothing wrong with that. I would never date a guy with blonde hair. Do guys actually have blonde hair? Yeah. They do.
Starting point is 00:28:51 All right. Have you seen Nick Carter? Jesse McCartney? All blondies. Yeah. I feel like those guys are dying it. You think Nick Carter is? Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Absolutely. If anyone's dying his hair, Nick Carter. Even so. Nick Carter's dying his pubes, too. Okay, that's disgusting. Is that too far? I don't want to think about his pub Yes. Absolutely. If anyone's dying his hair, Nick Carter. Even so. Nick Carter's dying his pubes too. Okay, that's disgusting. Is that too far? I don't want to think about his pubes. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:29:08 I don't think anybody does. I like dark haired guys. Light haired is not for me. Yeah. So it's fine. It's okay to have a type. Favorite emoji? I mean,
Starting point is 00:29:18 I like to say the unicorn one, but if I'm honest, my most used emoji is the happy cat. You know? No. The cat face. It's like the smiley face, but it's a cat.
Starting point is 00:29:27 I'm going to send it to you right now and you're going to know. It's my top. It's in my top left-hand corner. I also like the smart-ass face. The smirk? Yeah. And the horse is up there. I do a lot of the winky kiss face. Do you?
Starting point is 00:29:43 Who do you send that to? Like, the sad thing is it's like, I don't know. It's a lot of like, thank you so much, love. Yeah, you know, like that. I think I do that a lot. Yeah, that's what you think it means. And girls are like, he loves me. I'm dating Wells Adams.
Starting point is 00:30:01 My favorite one is the upside down smiling face. When do you use that though? When's the appropriate time to use that? When I've done something stupid. Because it reminds me of Ralph from The Simpsons. These crayons taste like regret. Can I continue with our favorites? Oh yeah, sorry.
Starting point is 00:30:16 I didn't even know. Oh, this is good. Because we kind of talked about this in the layup. Best date you've ever been on and why? You go first. Wells' eyes just got humongous. I wish you guys could have seen that. Well, Wells, as I told you in the stairwell, ever been on and why? You go first. Wells' eyes just got humongous. I wish you guys could have seen that.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Well, Wells, as I told you in the stairwell, I haven't been on a date, I don't think, since I went on a sort of date with you that one time four years ago. Was it four years ago? No, it was probably like two and a half or three. Two and a half. Two and a half. Favorite date. Yeah, I don't know. Guys don't really take me on proper dates.
Starting point is 00:30:45 It's not really a thing. I took you on one. Kind of. Whatever. Kind of. I mean, that's a question. That's a funny question to ask me. Are we talking about TV dates or real dates? No. Real life. Because the TV dates suck. Real life dates. What's your favorite
Starting point is 00:31:01 one you've ever been on? With my ex, New Year's Eve, front row for Old Crow Medicine Show. That's pretty cool. At the Ryman Auditorium. Dang. Okay. That's dope. And I can't remember where we went to dinner beforehand, but I'm sure we did like some,
Starting point is 00:31:20 oh, I think I made sushi. I learned how to make sushi a while ago. I've had a guy try to pull that. I was not impressed. Well, I don't know if she's impressed or not, but it's like A for effort, you know? Yeah. But you know why I did it, though? Oh, here we go.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Because I couldn't get a freaking reservation. Oh, my gosh. Do you think that's why? Okay, so my last boyfriend, he did that for me on Valentine's Day. Let's make sushi. Yeah. Do you think he couldn't get a reservation somewhere and didn't plan ahead? Yes.
Starting point is 00:31:47 And he was like, crap. 100%. Favorite thing about a man's body? Probably arms. I like guys with strong arms. Oh, shit. Is that weird? Our date was never going well.
Starting point is 00:31:58 I know. Also, okay, this could sound weird, but I don't care. I've always been super, like, if a guy has not attractive hands, like, that's a big thing for me. I got that. Let me see. Hold them up. No, they're okay.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Hold on. Hold on, he says. They're fine. What's wrong with them? Oh, this is so good. So one of the things, okay, so Peter is like, Peter's so hot, right? Yeah. Have you looked at Peter's hands?
Starting point is 00:32:24 No. He has, like, the slimmest, most feminine-looking hands, at least from TV. Oh, really? Oh, my God. It grossed me out so bad. It was all I could look at in that final episode when he got his arm around Rachel. Oh, Kristen's calling me right now. Oh, great.
Starting point is 00:32:39 I was just going to say- Hold on. Let's put her on speakerphone. Hey. Hi. I think I'm here, but I'm trying to figure out parking. Okay. I'm going to come out and get you right now, okay?
Starting point is 00:32:47 Okay. Sounds good. Bye. All right, wait. I've got two more Twitter things we need to discuss quickly. Do it. All right. Someone replied and said, Chipotle, Moe's, or Salsarita is a very important question.
Starting point is 00:32:58 I've never been to Salsarita. What is that? I don't know. I don't even know what that is. So that's out. Okay. Chipotle's got a lot of bad press recently. I hate Chipotle. Do you? Don't even get me started. I call't know. I don't even know what that is. So that's out. Okay. Chipotle's got a lot of bad press recently. I hate Chipotle. Do you?
Starting point is 00:33:07 I call it Chipotle. I despise it. When I was in a band, I was in San Francisco and we had Chipotle and I bit into my taco and it tasted funny and I spit the chicken out and it was purple. Okay. True story. My problem with, that's gross. It's disgusting. My problem with Moe's is that when you walk in, they're like,
Starting point is 00:33:23 Milk of the Moe's! What's wrong with that? Dude, calm down. They're just being hospitable. No, they're not. Welcoming. Yeah, they're happy to see you. I have empathy, which you don't have. I can't imagine working at a place where every time someone walks in,
Starting point is 00:33:36 Hey, welcome to Moe's! Maybe some people enjoy it. No one enjoys that. All right, are we going to pause or am I going to keep talking? Keep talking. I can't wait to hear what this sounds like when I edit tomorrow. Okay, great. All right, I'm just going to keep answering Twitter questions.
Starting point is 00:33:50 What are the must-do slash see, must-see things in L.A.? Well, let me tell you, since I lived there for six years. Apple pan by Westside Pavilion. Is that? That's wrong. Don't listen to Wells. Some of my favorite things in L.A. There's a lot of really great food in L.A.
Starting point is 00:34:09 One of my favorites is Zinc. It's a great spot on Melrose to grab some lunch. If you like Mexican food, there's a spot called Casa Vega in the valley that is to die for. Ketch is pretty trendy and whatever, but the food's fantastic and definitely worth making a reservation and going What else to do in LA? I mean clearly go to the beach Malibu's kind of the best spot Unless you're wanting to drive like way south
Starting point is 00:34:36 But North Malibu's cool Zuma, Little Doom is a really great beach Oh, Wells actually responded to my tweet about recording with Wells. And he said he wants to talk about our favorite taco topping. And he's not here, but he kind of already answered on my Twitter and said cilantro. And a lot of you guys were hating on the cilantro train. I happen to like cilantro, but I also heard from somebody, somebody else said cilantro is pretty controversial. So I feel like you could talk about that for a while. You're right, Rose, at Rose Harding. You can talk about it for a while.
Starting point is 00:35:10 And somebody told me once that, I don't know if this is true, and I didn't research it, but someone did tell me that liking cilantro is actually like in your DNA or something. And that some people, when they taste it it that it literally just tastes like dirt and when other people taste it it tastes completely different and then it's just something that's in your dna i don't know um my favorite excuse to use to get out of a date uh i don't know if it's my favorite but kind of my go-to excuse to get out of a date is uh you know what i'm really busy right now it's just a really busy time in my life, and I travel a lot. I'm hardly ever home, and I just don't have time to date right now.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Are you doing the I'm focusing on my career? Yeah. I'm so busy, man. My career is popping off, and I just don't have time for boys right now. That's my go-to. Guys, Wells and Kristen just walked in. Ooh, Renee said she is so sad that Wells is a cilantro guy. Potentially disappointed me more than hearing you are not The Bachelor.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Did you know? Wells, this is awful. Did you know that? Oh, no. Oh, Wells, we were doing so well in our fantasy relationship, but cilantro tastes like a mix of soap and dirt. Ew. So that's a genetic thing.
Starting point is 00:36:26 I can't wait for you to listen to that because I literally just said that. Wait, not like in cilantro? Yes. It's genetic? It's in your genetics. Okay, yeah. So it's like one in four people think that cilantro tastes like soap to them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:40 I love cilantro. I like it too. Well, the question was, the one that I posed was, what's your favorite topping on a taco? And I said cilantro, to me, is the most important. Which, by the way, the Chipotle closest to me never has any motherfucking cilantro. Whoa, language. And I'm losing it, man. No, I turn around and walk right out of there.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Right? This is why you should go to Moe's, because they do have cilantro. Well, a lot of times the Chipotle doesn't put it out on their little thing, so it's like they keep it hidden from you. And you're like, do you have cilantro?
Starting point is 00:37:11 Yeah, it's expensive. They think it tastes like soap. They've always got it in the plastic ramekins backstage. What are you doing with the cilantro? Hiding it.
Starting point is 00:37:20 They don't want to give it out generously. Somebody said, I'd rather pour dirt on my food than eat it with cilantro. This is so aggressive. Do you like cilantro? I love cilantro.
Starting point is 00:37:28 All right, then we're all on board. Yeah. What do you like, Moe's or Chipotle? Chipotle. Really? Yeah, it's a lot fresher in my opinion. Even though they've gotten in a lot of trouble recently for all these E. coli Ebola things. So I say it's a lot more fresh, but I guess actually I'm probably comparing it to Qdoba right now.
Starting point is 00:37:48 I've never had Qdoba. I've had it once. Qdoba's an inch above Taco Bell. It's not saying much. Maybe the same thing. Maybe the same thing. Well, Will loves Taco Bell. Don't get him started.
Starting point is 00:38:00 That's concerning. I love Taco Bell. You're a taco man. You love Taco Bell? I know. Isn't that insane? I know. Bell. You're a taco man. You love Taco Bell? I know. Isn't that insane? I know. Everyone, relax, okay?
Starting point is 00:38:09 Yes, I am a taco connoisseur, if you will. Who likes Taco Bell? But when I am drunk, there is nothing better than all the tacos from Taco Bell. Whatever. All right, Kristen from Bachelor in Paradise on the show. I got to ask you. Ask me, Wells. You mad at me?
Starting point is 00:38:33 Well, actually, I thought we'd take this time for a public apology. The fans wanted it. Who do the fans want an apology from, Wells? From me, right? From you. From you. See, I'm just now learning that people are calling Wells a bully. I know. I'm just now learning this. They're using the B word on you from Wells. From me, right? From you, from you. See, I'm just now learning that people are calling
Starting point is 00:38:46 Wells a bully. I know. I'm just now learning this. They're using the B word on you, Wells. A lot, and I feel bad about it. Okay. I have to tell you,
Starting point is 00:38:53 I have a lot of DMs saying, has Wells sincerely apologized to you? And then the other ones say, are you still friends with Wells? Are we still friends? You know what? Well, she's here. I am here.
Starting point is 00:39:06 I am here because I told him this last week. I have actually not watched Monday's episode where I walk in. I watched a pre-cut of it and the puppet show was not included. So I have yet to see the puppet show. What I was annoyed about, just like in my defense
Starting point is 00:39:22 and I sincerely apologize if I caused you any like mental anguish. Emotional distress. That was never what I was hoping for. I'm sending you my therapy bill. There you go. People don't see is that I did puppets for everyone and like all of their weird things. But they only don't show it all.
Starting point is 00:39:40 They didn't show it all. Yeah. They only show my puppets. You haven't seen it though, but I make fun of Jasmine pretty hard with puppets, too. Okay. I was really glad when it aired, I was like, they better show some Jasmine stuff, because she was crazy on the show. And so, I mean, I did, like, hours of puppetry on Jasmine being like, so, like, I'd have
Starting point is 00:40:00 one where it was, like, Matt being like, hey, I'm not really sure about this. And she's like, yeah, no, totally fine. And, like, looking away being like, we're going to get married and we'll be together forever. Wait, I feel like I did see that on TV. Well, that one was, like, a gif or whatever. Okay. It was in the preview. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Yeah, I feel like. You don't know who he's talking about, but you hear, we're going to get married. That's right. I feel like if someone owes you an apology, it's Jasmine. Girl. I feel like if someone owes you an apology, it's Jasmine. Girl. I know. Okay, so another thing I know that you're mad at me about is because Jasmine said that I egged her on. Right, mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:40:31 And so that's coming up on Monday, so people don't really know what we're talking about. But Jasmine said that me and Alexis egged her on. So in the after show, what he's talking about is in the after show, whenever it gets brought up and Chris Harrison kind of puts Jasmine on the hot seat, she's like, Wells told me to do it. Uh-huh. Which is not true at all. Okay. I don't like talking bad about people, but she does strike me as the kind of person that would not want to take responsibility.
Starting point is 00:40:56 So what really happened was she came down there cool as the other side of the pillow and she was just like, she claps when she's mad. And she was like, I'm not going to give that girl one second. I actually call it the jazz clap. Yeah. I was like talking to one of the producers and he's like, you know, I really want you to talk like whatever. We're going to talk about the scallop thing without like giving away too much information. But I'm like, I just need to know, am I going to get the jazz clap?
Starting point is 00:41:27 Like, is that going to be a thing? Oh, my gosh. All I said was, I am amazed how composed you are right now. That's really all I said. I was like, I can't believe it. I also was very vocal behind the bar about how insane she was. You hear it on one episode where I'm like, on that episode where she goes after you, she's like, she was scared
Starting point is 00:41:46 of me. And I was like, yeah, you're terrifying. Are you kidding me? So all I said was, I'm really surprised. And she was like, I'm not going to give her the time of day. And then she was like, you know what? I'm going. We were like, what just happened? It was literally me just being like, wow, good job. You finally
Starting point is 00:42:02 like, we're kind of being an adult. I'm handling this. And then she was like, nope! And then she was off. Oh man. Okay, but who was the first person to reveal the story about the scallop fingers? Alexis. It was Alexis. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. It's still
Starting point is 00:42:17 a funny story, okay? It is. I know it's good. It's funny. So here's the thing. Alexis told me, like, I did not mean that mean-spirited. Like, I was just telling a funny story. I can own. So here's the thing. Alexis told me, like, I did not mean that mean spirited. Like, I was just telling a funny story. I can own rock the scallop thing. That's fine. Yeah. What was tough to watch last Monday is how I didn't know every time people were laughing
Starting point is 00:42:33 or every time I'd walk into a room and it got quiet. It's because I was the big joke. Gotcha. And it just felt I had that feeling. You know when you walk in a room and you're like. And everyone's kind of quiet and you're like, they've definitely been talking about me. They've definitely been talking about me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Wow. Like, roll back cameras. What am I missing? Mm-hmm. So that was the harder part, I think. Like, being there the rest of the time and thinking like, oh, yeah, I'm, like, these girls are my friends or whatever. And then watching it back and be like, wow, they, like, hated me.
Starting point is 00:43:01 But did they? Because to me, like, for the most part. Yeah. Jasmine's a little excluded here. I do like Jasmine but she's crazy. No, no, no. For sure. The point of the show
Starting point is 00:43:10 is to go on dates with people. Totally. And everything she to me that she said about you came from a place of jealousy. Right? Right.
Starting point is 00:43:18 I mean so but to me it almost it just everybody else felt very lighthearted about it. I mean it could have been so much worse. Like thank God they weren't making fun of you about something that would have, like, really hurt you. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:43:29 Yes, exactly. Completely agree with you. When I heard the story, it was funny to me because there's a person that works here. Her name is Pam. Oh, this is a good story. And Pam is one of those people that brings salmon to work and then microwaves it. I would do that. And it makes the whole common area.
Starting point is 00:43:48 I would totally do that. My roommates probably hate me. Okay, I brought salmon to a barbecue once, and I, to this day, just get slaughtered for it. Slaughtered? Who brings salmon to a barbecue? Sorry for being bougie and having advanced palate. People that don't eat hot dogs? Thank you.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Yeah, thank you. Team advanced palate. Okay, hold on. You're not hearing what I'm saying about Sam and Pam. Wells is drunk chowing down on his Taco Bell, and I'm over there with my scallops. Sam and Pam. Sam and Pam just makes the entire office kitchen smell. You do realize that what you're doing right now by calling her Sam and Pam is very similar to what happened to Kristen.
Starting point is 00:44:21 100%. I tell her to her face. Whose feelings got hurt. I swear to God, if you brought Sam in today, I tell her to her face. Whose feelings got hurt. Pam, I swear to God, if you brought Sam in today, I'm going to lose it. I'm going to freaking lose it. So anyways, I was telling you that story because it's funny because Sam and Pam does that. But I remember when it all went down. So I didn't know.
Starting point is 00:44:37 So in my defense, I didn't know that there was all this mean girl stuff going on about it. I just thought the story was hilarious. So this is how I saw it in my brain. You guys were drunk going to a club and you were like, I got leftovers and eating it and I thought that was really funny. And then like Alexis is being like, and then she touched my shoulder
Starting point is 00:44:55 and oh my god, no one wanted to... I thought that was funny. And I didn't know the mean girl thing until that one scene where it's Sarah and Amanda and you came down. You did come down with a floppy shrimp. And it was funny. I remember that.
Starting point is 00:45:12 But they were laughing and I was like, guys, stop. And remember I made up a story because you were like, why are they laughing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was at that moment that I was like, this is kind of messed up. So I went and told the producer. I was like, someone's got to tell her. Can you just tell her that she knows this? Get in on the joke. And so finally the producer was like, this is kind of messed up. So I went and told the producer, I was like, someone's got to tell her. Can you just tell her that she knows this? Get in on the joke.
Starting point is 00:45:27 And so finally the producer's like, yes. And you have to be the one to tell her. I have to be honest, my favorite scene in Paradise is probably when Wells tells me at the bar. Yeah. Here's what I think about the whole thing, is it gave you such, I don't know, platform's not really the right word, but it just gave
Starting point is 00:45:43 you so much exposure, like from right from the very beginning. Like, I don't know, platform's not really the right word, but it just gave you so much exposure from the very beginning. Like, I don't know, you became such a big character, and hey, if that gave you more camera time, great. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's very funny. It's very funny, and it's very true to character for me, so I'm like, oh yeah, it's very true. And, you know, I'm actually trying to make a transition
Starting point is 00:46:03 right now from scallop fingers to maybe like scallop girl. There you go. Something a little sexier. Maybe just scallop. By the way, first of all, I think it's hilarious. And what I love about you, because I told you this in a text after it was all going down, that there's very few people that I know from that world that could take it and like take it with like grace. Especially as a girl.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Yeah. I'm not an overly girly girl, so I think that part of it, I'm just like, oh, yeah. And I love that you were like, I took to-go order. Like, so sue me. I was like, thank you for saying it. Because it's not like Ben, same thing with Ben. There's nothing wrong with loving your dog. I'm into that.
Starting point is 00:46:42 There's nothing. I wanted to talk about him this while we do so we can come back to it. But yeah, there ain't nothing wrong. That's all Wells talks about. I know. They just don't cut it that way like they did for him. Totally. But like hey, I'm into the guy that's all about his dog. There's nothing wrong with taking to
Starting point is 00:46:57 leftovers. There's nothing wrong with dogs. There's nothing wrong with being a tickle monster. Well. Well. I'm sorry. This podcast is called Your Favorite Thing Podcast. Tickle is hot. But there's a scene. He's attractive.
Starting point is 00:47:11 He's a very attractive man. There's a scene when I'm about to give out the rose, and I crack myself up watching this back. Because I'm just like, they keep pulling me back and forth, back and forth. Oh, my gosh. It's like a freaking pinball. Yeah, yeah. And there's a point in time where Tickle is like, but first I want to do this. And, like, leans in for a kiss, and I'm like, ugh.
Starting point is 00:47:29 Okay. As long as you just don't tickle. I don't like to be tickled. How many guys did you kiss? Oy. How many guys did you kiss on the TV show? Four. You beat me.
Starting point is 00:47:37 I beat you. Good lord. Wow. It was my aim and goal when I went there. Well done. All I want to do is beat Webb. Wait. Totally.
Starting point is 00:47:44 He only kissed three guys on his season. I'm like, wait, back up. Three girls. I kissed Shoshanna, I kissed Jamie, and I kissed Ashley. Okay. And then this year I've kissed Danielle, and then I kissed JoJo. But that one, I was like pulling teeth. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Interesting. You've been on more dates on that season than I've been on in my whole life. Girl, I'm telling you. No, I'm serious, though. I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:48:11 It's insane. Okay, so this show is called Your Favorite Thing. The best thing was, yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm ready for that. No, the best thing was on my second date with Tickle, it's kind of before I was let into the scallop joke. So my plate comes, and I have cold freaking scallops. And he has like a sausage.
Starting point is 00:48:28 And now you know they probably did that on purpose. Of course. Of course. 100%. 100%. But I'm like, this is weird. And I'm like, can I get a fork? Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Oh, really? They for sure did that. They definitely. That's insane. You do know, I don't know if you know this That the hotel Playa Escondida Yes yes Did not have scallops On the menu
Starting point is 00:48:48 Oh you're right And they would bring them in From Puerto Vallarta Every day No Yes Girl you're important That's amazing
Starting point is 00:48:55 That's awesome Like once the scallops So it happened They were like What do we gotta do Get some f***ing scallops Get some scallops That's insane
Starting point is 00:49:01 Which I love Yeah And then all the ones That the twins throw and waste. I'm like, what? Guys, the twins. Yeah. They look real bad. I was shocked.
Starting point is 00:49:12 Did you watch the episode? I did. They say- It is bad. Yeah. I agree. And I love the twins, but like, man, pump the brakes. I mean, I honestly-
Starting point is 00:49:23 Calling people ugly. Yeah. Yeah. It's not okay. They were rude to the guys. They were. I mean, I honestly Calling people ugly is not okay. They were rude to the guys. I mean, I get it. They're pretty, whatever. They're twins, guys think that's
Starting point is 00:49:34 hot, whatever. You can't come in and treat people like crap and think that you're all, I mean, they're not all that. They're not that hot. Well, someone was like who gave them ego juice before they walked in? Right? Did the producers give them a big dump of ego juice?
Starting point is 00:49:48 Yeah. Because, I mean, I don't know them, never met them, but, like, you know, I've seen them on their other seasons or whatever, and I've never seen them act like that, you know? Right, right, right. And so it really threw me. And, you know, a lot of people are giving Jasmine crap about being a bully and being mean and saying mean things, but, but like this makes her look tame. I mean, those girls went after
Starting point is 00:50:07 everyone. Everyone. Yeah. It blew my mind. I think they got embarrassed and instead of, I think what everyone else would do is like the woe is me thing, they got mad. Yeah. And then they're also like they're the only people that do
Starting point is 00:50:23 I'm going to use a bachelor term that no one would know. ITMs which is called in the moment when you do. We call those on the flies. OTS. So it's like just an interview with you and a producer. They're the only ones who do those with another person. I do it with their twin.
Starting point is 00:50:40 So I think what happens is is they start filming and then like one says something that makes the other one laugh. They feed off of each other. Yes, and it starts a snowball for them. That's a really good point. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:50 I still, man, I don't know. I just can't imagine calling other girls that. A little overly savage. And being, I don't know, belittling the guys. I didn't like it. I didn't like watching that episode. No, uh-uh. When Jackson, you weren't even there, I don't think.
Starting point is 00:51:04 No, that's the thing. You came down later. You came so out of no clue. I was so out of the loop. And I'm here and there like, where's Kristen? Go get her. Which that doesn't get aired. And I'm like, what?
Starting point is 00:51:15 I'm not in this. I'm not in this. I told him to go. This is crazy. But when that happened in real time, you see that I have to go down and I'm like, hey, Jack, stop talking to dudes and go on a date. And that was definitely a producer-driven thing being like, we've got to go. Can you help us out here? And I was like, yeah, sure, whatever.
Starting point is 00:51:33 So I walked down there and I was like, dude, go on your freaking date. And he was freaking out about it. And I was like, I remember telling him, I was like, I think it's really cool that you want to stick around for Kristen. But you already said yes. You're kind of stuck now. I was like, I promise you, I will not close down the bar until you guys get back so you can talk to her. He was like, oh, cool, cool, cool. And then he went and did that thing.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Wells is so sweet sometimes. I know, and I was tired. Wellsy. You were tired. Oh, poor you in your air-conditioned room with your computer. I know, I know. He's living the rough life of paradise. You're tired.
Starting point is 00:52:07 Okay. He doesn't have to deal with the drama. He just gets to mediate. I honestly think... Hold on, I need to finish the story. Sorry. Okay, yeah. He gets up and he does that thing where he's like,
Starting point is 00:52:18 I'm sorry, guys, I can't go on a date. And at the time, I was like, what are you doing? You psychopath! And he's obviously known as a psycho murderer. Where did that come from? Because he's got like a weird like gaze he gives everybody. I know, it's heartbreaking, but it's very funny. They leave his ITMs on an extra like five seconds.
Starting point is 00:52:39 No, it's terrible. That's the funniest thing in the freaking world. That is terrible. It just gets really quiet. Okay, but he got to kiss more girls than anybody, right? I know. So can I just finish my freaking story? Yeah, yeah, finish your story.
Starting point is 00:52:49 At the time, I was losing my mind being like, Jack, what are you doing? And then watching it back, I was like, thank God. I know. He said no. Yeah. Because they are such meanies. Could you imagine how mean they would have been
Starting point is 00:53:01 if they had gone on the date? Yeah, they would have been. Like, that's the thing. Even with poor little innocent tickle monster, they were like, do you actually think I want to go on a date with a f***ing Tickle Monster? That's where it was too far. I'm sorry. That's where it was too far.
Starting point is 00:53:13 And by the way, he's a doctor. I know. I know. Someone tweeted that. They're like, they're doctors and lawyers. And you guys. And did those girls even finish high school? Yeah, a doctor and a lawyer.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Wait, by the way, I heard a rumor that Tickle had a huge pickle. I've heard the pickle rumor. Everybody says that. Who saw it, though? Fitz. Fitz, a producer. Producer. He wanted to clue me in on that.
Starting point is 00:53:35 I can see it. It explains his confidence. Yeah. Being a Tickle monster. He gives zero Fs. I know. Zero. That's why I like him.
Starting point is 00:53:42 And he's hilarious. He was trying to cut a lime with the little hands. Yeah. And all the girls were like eating into it. Yeah. That's so funny. Yeah, he was popular
Starting point is 00:53:52 with the girls. Yeah, I think he's charming. He is. It's like one of those things where if you can handle a dose of weird, then he is like totally your cup of tea.
Starting point is 00:54:00 When it comes down to it, like I don't think I was like romantically. But I want to celebrate all his one-liners because if you pay, if you don't pay close enough attention to the show, you'll miss him. But he always slides in these little subtle one-liners that are hilarious. Where does he live? Where is he from?
Starting point is 00:54:15 Florida. From Arkansas. Lives in Florida. Go Tickle. We love you. That's insane. Yeah. I did not confirm the pickle rumor, but I did hear it.
Starting point is 00:54:24 I heard it too. And I believe it wholeheartedly just because just from being behind the bar, being like this guy is so confident and hilarious. I love that. Yeah. That's great. That's another guy that was like just owned it and he was just like, yeah, whatever. Can someone explain to me why no one went for Benzie?
Starting point is 00:54:44 I'm serious. He's by far the hottest guy that was there. And no one touched him. So what's wrong with him? I remember Raven saying that his pheromones weren't. Oh, God. Here we go. I know. Raven.
Starting point is 00:54:56 In Huxley, Arkansas, he doesn't smell like fried chicken and grits. Oh, my gosh. I remember her saying that. There has to be something. I mean, I don't know. Like, the perception is
Starting point is 00:55:08 that Ben Z is boring, right? Like, that's his intro. I kind of like boring guys. Isn't that weird? I kind of like that. You like more like old soul guys?
Starting point is 00:55:16 Quiet, yeah. I remember asking, they didn't air it, but I remember asking all the girls, who's the hottest guy here? Yeah. I'll say Ben.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Everyone said Ben. He's super hot. And I was like, all right, cool. Because hottest guy here? Yeah. I'll say Ben. Everyone said Ben. He's super hot. And I was like, all right, cool. Because Ben and I have been boys for a while now. Oh, didn't know. Yeah, because we're in the same fantasy football league. Both love dogs. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:55:33 Let's get it. So I was really pushing for Ben and Raven in the beginning. I was really pushing for them. Yeah. Well, for me- I was wanting, sorry to interrupt you, Danielle and Ben. I was like, Danielle, I'll just give him a chance. Malt Beam?
Starting point is 00:55:46 Yeah. Yeah, she left too soon, I feel like. Yeah. It could have maybe been something. For me, like, whenever I came in, you don't see a lot of this on the show, but he was kind of after D-Lo. Ugh. Well, he was after Raven, and then once Raven was, like, Adam.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Uh-huh. Yeah. Then it was, like, D-Lo. Uh-huh. Everyone's after D-Lo, though. She seems a little boring to me. She's beautiful. But they could just cut it like that.
Starting point is 00:56:08 She is. She is. But to me, not to say that she's not, because she's a very pretty girl. We'll bring a third party into comment. But to me, seeing Christina, to me, is the most stunning. When she has on no makeup, she is freaking beautiful. And to me, that is so much more beautiful than D'Lo with all the makeup. She is freaking beautiful. And to me, like, that is so much more beautiful than, you know, D'Lo with all the makeup.
Starting point is 00:56:27 Can we talk about the interesting psychological thing that happened in that little trio? Please. I thought it was very interesting that everyone was like, D'Lo is so hot. D'Lo is so hot. D'Lo is so hot. As in all the guys. And the girls, too. Like, you guys all, like, recognize
Starting point is 00:56:44 that. We do, yeah. She gives off a sexy vibe. I get that. She's very sexy. And the girls, too. You guys all recognize that. We do, yeah. She gives off a sexy vibe. I get that. Very sexy. But I agree with you. I think that Christina is, but she's also my type. Yeah. One of the most.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Short and burn it. Yeah, whatever. Wells' type. But gorgeous. And I thought it was an interesting psychological thing that happened to her. Is that she had Dean. D-Lo comes in and she all of a sudden loses all confidence because she thinks this girl's more beautiful than her which
Starting point is 00:57:11 is not really true I think Christina is so much prettier than D'Lo I know but it was all a mental thing and then once that happened it became very evident that she was super threatened by this girl yeah it became I think I don't know but but I think... Unattractive to Dean. To Dean, exactly. Of course, because Daniel D'Lo's attitude is all de-gaff, I'm not gonna force you to pick me, I'm not gonna beg you to give me a rose, and that's the chase. That's the
Starting point is 00:57:36 chase that guys like, you know, and girls. And so I do agree with you there, but I feel for Christine. I loved what you said to her, Wells. What, play this game like you give zero Fs? No, I didn't see that on camera. I heard where you said why are you
Starting point is 00:57:51 fighting for someone who's not fighting for you. Exactly, I loved that. Because you were the only person, after I saw Raven blow up at her, you were the only person to say something to her in a loving way that was also very truthful, right? You had a very warm way of giving advice and speaking truth without hurting her, right?
Starting point is 00:58:15 Because I could tell when you said it that she received it and knew you were exactly right. To be honest with you, Raven was trying to say the same thing. I know, but Raven said it very insensitively, which I understand because I tend to be like that. And I check myself all the time because I'm very blunt and I say things like it is and that hurts people a lot of the time. Sometimes. But you did a really good job. I'm trying to give you a compliment here. No, thank you.
Starting point is 00:58:37 I think that it was like one of my better moments on the show. And sometimes you need to. It was better than his puppet stunt. That's what he's saying. Very true. Very- It was better than his puppet stunt, that's what he's saying. Very true. Very, very much better than puppet stunt. Definitely better than his drink making, right? He can't make a drink to save his life.
Starting point is 00:58:52 I can make a drink. Whatever. But what I learned is that sometimes people need a good laugh. Sometimes people need a good cry. Empathy is knowing which one they need and using it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:06 Most of the time people just need a hug Or like an awesome drink Christina just needed She needed to get her ass kicked And then she needed someone like me to be like Okay hold on think about what this is What you're doing right now And then ask her the question Raven was telling her
Starting point is 00:59:20 But me asking her the question made her think Like okay you're right I'm worth more than this. Your tone was different, too, though. Yeah, I find, like, the best way to, like, relate to people if you're not in their situation and you don't want to come across abrasive is asking questions. For sure. Because nobody likes to be told something.
Starting point is 00:59:38 You know, I get that for sure. And, like, going back to what he said about Christina, I think, like, why she lost sight of herself. She lost sight of, like, the fun side of herself. Because lost sight of like the fun side of herself because just like you said, she was trying to like grip on. Well, and she, she let it consume her. I feel like,
Starting point is 00:59:51 and I'm part of the reason why I feel for her is because I've, I've been Christina. Every girl's been. I've been, I've been the girl that is letting the guy treat me like dirt. I want to believe he loves me. I want to believe he's, he feels the way he says he feels,
Starting point is 01:00:03 but his actions don't back it up. Because of like the half-hearted words every now and then. Yes. I've been there he loves me. I want to believe he feels the way he says he feels, but his actions don't back it up. Because of the half-hearted words every now and then. Yes, I've been there, and it sucks. But the only way to learn from it is to let it happen and learn from it, you know? Sad. Let it happen on national TV and learn from it watching it back. Yeah, I'm glad she had somebody like Wells
Starting point is 01:00:19 to tell her some wisdom in a loving way. Not just a bully. He's also a nice guy. Stop it! Okay, let's actually do this. Wells paid me to say these things. All right, favorite things. This podcast is called Your Favorite Thing Podcast.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Yes. I'm excited. Kristen, what is your favorite thing right now? I feel so obligated to say scallops, but right now my favorite thing is hot yoga. Really? I can't do hot yoga. And crispy Brussels sprouts from Virago. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:47 Have you had the coconut jasmine rice from Virago? I've had both, girl. Crispy Brussels sprouts, follow it up with the coconut jasmine rice. The crispy Brussels sprouts are actually better at Modo. They're both in the street. I've had Modo, too. Modos are great. The Modo ones are a little sweeter.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Maybe there are some people from Nashville listening to us. This is a plug for Nashville. You guys might want to deal out of this. I just love the fact that we had Noah on a couple weeks ago, her sister. And Noah was like, cracker barrel. And it was like, every girl's favorite thing is like some food item. It's true. It's true.
Starting point is 01:01:19 Okay, okay. So hot yoga. I'm very impressed you can do that. Girl, it's hard. I have a thing with heat and I just black Okay. I'm very impressed you can do that. Ugh, girl, it's hard. I have a thing with heat, and I just black out. I can't do it. Yeah, yeah. Wells hates on my Pilates that I do.
Starting point is 01:01:32 I just feel like that's like 1990. It's not. I'm going to take you, and we're going to video it, and I'm going to show you how freaking hard it is. Do you also hate on yoga, or are you more down with yoga because it's trendier? I don't like yoga because I can't do it. Got it. I'm such that.
Starting point is 01:01:48 You tried? I'm such that guy that like if I'm not good at it. You don't like it. I don't like it. It's an ego thing. I'm just not, I'm not a flexible man. You could be if you practice. That's true.
Starting point is 01:01:59 If you went to Pilates. I can't touch my toes. You went to Pilates for a year, you would be able to. I'm three inches away from my toes. That's funny. That's very unhealthy. So what he needs to do in here while he's doing his radio show is just like do his stretches. You need to get a foam roller.
Starting point is 01:02:14 No, I'm not doing stretches. You need to stretch. You need to practice Pilates and yoga. Whilst his boss walks in and he has like his leg up in a- I'm a downward dog and he's like, all right, this is the last straw, dude. It was effeminate enough. I thought the reality TV show was bad enough. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 01:02:29 Listen, you leave for months on end going to film a subpar television show, and now you're doing Downward Dog in the studio. You're fired. It's not subpar. It's like the number one show. It is the number one show. It's insane. That's terrifying.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Have they released your carpool karaoke? You haven't watched it? No, I haven't. I spent four hours of my life watching you every week on TV, and you can't watch my one carpool karaoke episode? I don't even know. Ten minutes? I'm upset.
Starting point is 01:02:56 I'm sorry. You only have to watch three hours this week, and only two hours next week, so you're fine. And then we're done. This is kind of like a Christina, give on one end, take on the other. Ugh! Do not
Starting point is 01:03:07 equate me to Dean. I love Dean. I love Dean. Dean, man. Everyone loves Dean. Never met the kid, but He's a beautiful man. He's really not.
Starting point is 01:03:16 Yes, he is. He is beautiful. I don't think he's Is he? You know what? Wells told him last week or a few weeks ago he goes,
Starting point is 01:03:22 Dean could kill a mom in his Wells voice and people would still love him. I don't think he's that hot. Oh. Yeah, he goes, Dean could kill a mom in his Wells voice and people would still love him. I don't think he's that hot. Oh, yeah, he's very hot. I don't like blue eyes and that light hair. It doesn't do it for me. I don't like...
Starting point is 01:03:34 I don't like... I don't like a perfectly chiseled face and a big old toothy smile. It's not my thing. I like rugged guys. I like some scruff, dark hair, dark eyes. So you are a Benzie kind of girl. However, I stalked Benzie's Twitter.
Starting point is 01:03:49 He's a Warriors fan, and he lives in California. We can never be together. Deal breaker. He lives in the Bay Area. What do you want from him? I can never be with a guy that likes the Warriors. I'm sorry. Really?
Starting point is 01:03:57 Yeah. My loyalty lies with the Cavs. Look how cool you sound right now. Do I? Yeah. Why? Because you're like know about sports and stuff. I know.
Starting point is 01:04:05 It's neat. It's neat. I used to think that, I used to think guys would think that's cool. I think, I don't think so. Because I have this whole theory that we'll talk about another time about how being the cool girl does not pay off. No. Being the cool girl is the worst. Being the cool girl makes you like the home girl. And you end up alone. Okay. Girl. No more cool girl. You're not gonna end up
Starting point is 01:04:22 alone. You're fine. I need to learn how to not be cool girl. I'm going to write a book about it. Are you saying like if you can hang with the boys, like that doesn't translate into being sexy? Yeah, and you know guys like to think that what they want is a girl that's cool and lets them hang with the boys and does her own thing and has her own thing and doesn't have them on a leash and whatever. But what they really are with, what guys choose, are the psycho girls who do keep them on a leash and have all the rules and get jealous and get upset. Those are the girls that get husbands. It's unfair. Way in on this one. I'm not into that. Way in on this. You don't think you are.
Starting point is 01:04:52 But let's just wait and see who Wells ends up with next and I will be the judge on if she is a psycho or a cool girl. Hold on. Real actual question. Your favorite excuse to not go out. Did you read that on my Twitter? No, but I have it right here. Somebody tweeted us that. Oh, that's a good one.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Oh, that's really good. To not go out or to not go out on a date? Either way, but I think usually, I think it pertains more to like, everyone's going out and you're like, I can't. Oh, God. I feel sick. It's so generic. It's such a good go-to.
Starting point is 01:05:24 It is. What's yours? That or like, I'm on my period and It's so generic. It's such a good go-to. It is. What's yours?
