Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Cigs, Whiskey and Gratitude

Episode Date: November 26, 2025

It’s Thanksgiving Eve in YFT-land, which means it’s officially time to debate the truly important things — like whether peanut butter whiskey counts as a respectable holiday gift and if the college years were actually the peak Thanksgiving era. Brandi reports back from her Vegas F1 adventure, while Wells’s schedule has fewer openings than a Costco parking lot on a Saturday. Ya boy is booked.JetBlue somehow earns a ding for going above and beyond (words we never thought we’d say about an airline), a lonely NYC smoker suddenly has hundreds of new friends, and February 2026 may just be the most mathematically perfect month ever created. Brandi drops her hot take on the DWTS drama, and the episode wraps with gratitude shoutouts from both your hosts — especially to YOU, YFT fam.385 episodes in and still going strong.

This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. What's that? Hello. It's Thanksgiving Day Eve right now. Ooh, that's exciting. How do you celebrate Thanksgiving Day Eve? Like I do every eve. I'm in bed by nine and cuddling the doggos and Matt.

Yeah. Do you remember like college time when you'd come back home for Thanksgiving? I didn't really go to college. You know, I went for a year to. really count that's true yes um well i am someone who attended uh higher learning at the academic juggernaut of excellence of old miss anyways but so i went to school obviously like away from my home there was something really fun about going home for thanksgiving well i'm sure you got to see all your high school friends you got to like tell stories everyone

kind of at that time had fake IDs so we'd go to the bar and my brother-in-law had an amazing name for the hookups that you'd have when you'd come home for Thanksgiving and what was it your turkey girl oh my god ding ding ding delirious my brother-in-law would be like you got a turkey girl this year and we're like oh we got a turkey girl this year or we didn't you know gobble gobble, gobble, gobble. That was the most fun Thanksgiving, I think, ever, is going home at a college. And then after that, it just gets sad. I agree.

Are you cooking for Thanksgiving? Fuck, no, I'm not cooking. I don't cook any time. Why not? Well, we've been over this. I can't cook. I've tried. You know, I think I've tried to make fish in the airfire one time and just decided it's not for me.

Like, I just can't, I can't do it. Yeah. Yeah. So what are you doing for the holiday, though? Well, I'm actually in L.A. right now. I'm in my mother's guest house. But I'm leaving today. I've been here for a few days.

I came out for Miley's birthday. So it's like the tricky thing is Miley's birthday is always four days before Thanksgiving or five days. I'm not like that. Like to be out here for both is just too long for me to be in L.A. I'm telling you my L.A. maximum these days, three nights tops. That's all I can do. That's all you got. I've been here three nights now.

I'm, I'm congested. I'm, my skin's itchy. I'm allergic to this place. So, no. Yes. So because I can only be here for three nights,

I have to choose birthday or Thanksgiving. You know what I mean? And this year I chose birthday and then I'm getting the fuck out of Dodge and I'm going home to Nashville today. So I'm on farm duty because, you know, none of the employees want to work a holiday, which is fair.

The girls work very hard all year round. So I just, just, you know, for the holidays, I feel like I owe it to them to let them go home. So I'm going to be on Farm Duty, but then I'm going to my friend Gabby's house. She always does, like, an insane meal. There's tons of alcohol. Everyone gets drunk and has a great time, and it's honestly just lovely. Nice.

So I'll be doing that. But you're not going to be bringing anything. You're not going to be contributing to the giving of the thanks. I usually bring some of that peanut butter whiskey, and it goes over really well. What is peanut butter whiskey? You don't know about Screwball? What? Are you for real?

Is it like Fireball? It's screwball. You don't know peanut butter. Are you insane? Is it a food or is it a drink? It's a drink. Screwball. Yeah.

Screwball whiskey. It's peanut butter whiskey. It's like fucking sugar, dessert and a drink that gets you drunk. It's phenomenal. And it goes over great as a gift. It goes over great to bring to holiday festivities. It's cheap. It's not expensive.

For people to have never heard of it or had it, it people freak the fuck out. It's great. Wow. Very yummy. Screwball, huh? Yeah, I wish they would sponsor this podcast. Sponsor me, Screwball. Yeah. What's going on? Screwball. Stop screwing around. Yeah. Well, what did you do for Miley's birthday?

We had a really lovely small dinner at her favorite sushi spot. And I'd say there were probably, I don't know, like 40 people there. I'm really bad at knowing numbers in a room. But I'd say like 40. Just close friends, family. Some of her like team that's also, you know, friends at this point. Yeah, it was really nice, actually. She's, she's, she's, she's. She's feeling, she just turned 33, is that right? And she's just really feeling, you know, the effects, I think, of like, I'm an adult and I'm feeling adult things. And so, you know, if she was a bit emotional, which was cute and nice, and she was super happy. Everybody was there. And the freaking sushi was phenomenal. I'm not going to, I'm not going to out her spot on the podcast. Sorry, guys, but I will tell Wells shortly because it's not far from where he lives.

And it's so good. Let me ask you this. Who pays for dinner on Miley's birthday when 40 people come? That's a great question. I assume probably her. Yeah. But I don't know. Maybe I'd like to think maybe Max shelled out for it.

Okay. I don't know, though. I didn't ask. I mean, you didn't pay is what I'm. I didn't pay and I'm pretty sure my mom didn't pay. So that leaves Maxo. Tish has got. money though she's definitely got money she's so freaking cheap though is she yeah that's funny

don't want to pay probably not that's a very funny and weird thing of it's your birthday party but you got to pay for it i truly don't know who paid i feel like that kind of lands on max now that he's her better half right like that's kind of where like that's part of the relationship deal i think Like if it were my birthday, I would expect Matt to pay. Yeah. But who knows? I don't know. Well, it's actually, we're recording this on the 24th and Sarah's birthday today.

Yep. What are you guys doing? She has to rehearse for the Macy's Day parade. So we're going to go to like an early dinner or late lunch over in Central Park. Okay. Cute. That's kind of it though. Like we're both working so much that it's like hard to kind of celebrate, which is kind of sad.

Anyways, here we are. It is, but at least you're trying. Yeah, but her gift came. I got her a good gift. What'd you get her? We'll bleep it. Okay, well, no, because it'll come on afterwards. She's going to fight out later today.

Okay, great. Okay, so I got her another freaking purse. I've gotten her so many purses. Purses are like a guy's go-to. Well, what do you want? And for our anniversary, I got her a purse. Yeah. I mean, you can't go wrong with a nice bag, you know?

I'm telling you, she's getting like, she's accrued like 20 grand of purses out of me in the last like two years. Anyways, I will say this one's fucking awesome. What is it? It's a YSL. Oh. It's like wine red and shiny. And she's big into this like one style now, which is like really short, you know,

kind of like sits right underneath her armpit, I think. Yep, yep, like a tiny bag, like a small one. Yeah, it's got a thing. Anyways, I will say of all that. look, I've gotten her a lot of, if they've all been YSL. She's very brand committed to this. Yeah. Everyone loves YSL.

If you're listening, sponsor the pod. Oh, yeah. Why's so beauty could. Yeah. That's true. I do like that store, actually. They're always, I mean, it's expensive, but it seems like it's good stuff. Who doesn't like YSL? Anyone could walk in YSL and find something they love. It's so good. My favorite pair of Chelsea boots are YSL. I'm sure. Yeah. They've got a really nice pair of loafers right now. I'd love to have.

I do too. They're loafers. are great, by the way. They are good. They are good. I've actually got a pair of... This is such a bogey conversation, but I've got a pair of... So, Sarah, if you're listening... Yeah.

Well, I've got a pair of brown Gucci loafers, and then I've got a pair of black YSL ones. And I like the YSL ones better than the Gucci. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, so she's... Maybe Sarah could get you some YSL loafers for Christmas. No, I need a new laptop for Christmas.

I told her. That's not fun. Listen, your boy's a working boy. It's a tax write-off. Can't you buy your own computer? I can't, but it's the only thing I need. Like, what do I need? YSL loafers and whatever color you don't have them in.

I know. It's a need. Listen, I got to do this show. This laptop is not really doing it anymore for me. But let me tell you about the crazy, you want to show the show? Yeah. Yeah, so let's show the show. Yeah, I do.

I think it's you. Bros and Hoes, you're listening to a very thankful episode of your Very Thing podcast with Wells and Brandy. Ding, bing, bing, bing, bing. All right, guys, I'm super intentional when it comes to my home. I like things to be in a certain place, in a certain order. Everything needs to be beautiful and it needs to be sustainable and built to last. And that's why Sarah and I love our Lisa mattress.

It's not just luxury comfort at reasonable prices. No, they prioritize doing good for the world. Now that's intention in action.

We love a working man. We love a working man. You never know when work's going to come your way, you know? Oh, it's very true. And it usually never comes at the end of the year, but your boy booked a bunch of stuff.

Booked him busy. Booked him busy. So I had to fly to New York with Boo on Bark Air. Love. Hilarious. So I flew from Van Nuys to Teeterboro with the dog, got off the plane, had the dog walker, Take an Uber to Teeterboro to take Boo to the apartment. I took an Uber to JFK.

Oh. And let me tell you something. Okay. My Uber from JFK was an hour and a half. Woof. My boarding started in an hour. So I'm like calling these people being like, I'm never going to make this flight. My flight was at 7.30, doors closed at 7.15.

I was getting to the airport at 7.4. I get to the get to the airport and I'm like well I'm going to try there was like an 850 flight so I was like man with if all else fails I just sit in a lounge and wait until the next flight but so I get to security I'm TSA pre which is good but there's like still like 20 people in front of me do you not have clear no oh wells go clear abs to fucking luteley go clear if you've got clear and TSA pre it's a breeze well I was flying jet blue and I got to of a ding to JetBlue. So this is what happens. The doors, it's, so it's, it's 707. The doors closed this

flight at 715. They call me and they go, are you going to make this flight? Because I'm checked in, obviously, for my phone. And I'm like, I am in security right now. I'm TSA pre-check. If I get through here, I'm all sprint right there. And the guy's like, okay, I'll wait for you on the Jet Bridge, just come as fast as you as fast as you can. I'm like, in what world? Does this? happened were you guys mint yeah meant i don't know like first class their first class it wasn't like any different seat but i was in the third seat i feel like that's anyways they called and they were like hey you're gonna make it and they i feel like they held the plane for me and i got on the plane last person there apologize what time were you what were you getting on do you remember

seven 12 i actually made it before the door was closed yeah wow i couldn't believe it so anyways then I flew to Palm Beach, Florida. The other thing, did you guys, did you see the announcement that I'm going to be doing my golf podcast on the golf channel? I did see this. Is this huge for you?

Yeah. It's so funny. It's not something that was ever like on my vision board, you know? Because golf was always just like my hobby. And then all of a sudden it was like, okay, now we're going to talk about it because my buddy who does full swing,

wanted to do a podcast. And then now it's like, this might be like, My job. It is going to be a job. We're doing a weekly show on Golf Channel Wednesdays, starting January 14th. It'll be 10 a.m. Eastern 7 a.m. Where do you film this? We're building a new studio off at LaBrea.

Oh. Yeah. It's like legit, like a real morning show thing we're doing. Damn. So anyways, I flew down on Palm Beach, Florida because my buddy, who I do the show with, Chad, he's doing the Skins game, which is going to be on Amazon on Black Friday. So if Amazon Prime. you, if your husband or your boyfriend likes golf, they should watch this, it's going to be

awesome. It's Tommy Fleetwood. It's Shane Lowry. It's Keegan Bradley and Zander Schaulay. They all each get a million dollars and then they play a skins game. So like basically, it's like as if they four came to the golf course and everyone had $100 to play with. And then you played skins for all that money. And so effectively someone could walk off the 18th with all $4 million and everyone else can make $0. It's a very fun way of playing golf. And if you You know golf. You know Skins is a fun game. Anyways, so I flew down to Palm Beach, filmed a commercial with BMW and Tommy Fleetwood.

Do you get a free BMW? No, I asked that question. I said, do I get this X-7? This is a nice car. It is a nice car. I will say, I get it. I mean, I understand why people like those cars. It was, I filmed this commercial where I had to drive him basically to the golf course while, like, interviewing him and stuff.

And by the way, Ding, Ding, Tommy Fleetwood. He's my new favorite golfer. He's the most lovely person I've ever met in my entire life. He was so generous and like he flew from Dubai. It was like two in the morning for him. And he couldn't have been nicer. I do that. We film it.

I fly back to JFK. Getting at midnight. By the way, don't fly into JFK anymore if you want to take an Uber into the city. You have to take like a shuttle. It's like LAX. You got to take a shuttle thing. No. Don't do it.

It's going to be all LaGuardia for me. now, baby. I got to the apartment at 12.30 past the F. Al, woke up, podcast, now doing this podcast, Sarah's birthday. I have rehearsals tomorrow for this, uh, Macy's Day parade. You know, your boy's working. Your boy is a book. Do you know what? Well, it's about time. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So anyways, that's what's happening over here. Okay. I'm just really thankful for all the things, you know. Matt's interrupting. What are you doing, baby?

Oh, you couldn't go around outside to not. Wow. That was passive-aggressive. That was just aggressive, aggressive. It's like he's robbing you. It does. You got any favorite things, bro. Bro, I got to be honest with you.

I haven't watched shit. No. Because since I talked to you last. I've been traveling. I was in Vegas for three nights, which is way too long to be in Vegas for F1. Yeah, how was it? Have you done Vegas F1 before?

Have you done any F1 before? No, I've been invited every year and I always turn it down. I feel like you like it. I'm sure I would. It just always lands on Sarah's birthday and that's not what she wants to do for her birthday. I feel like maybe Sarah can have fun.

It's very fun. There's lots going on, like not just the race. Like there's stuff going on all over Vegas. I went with T-Mobile, who's like a huge sponsor. And so I had to fly in on Wednesday to do this thing on Thursday with them. And then we decided to stay on an extra day afterwards. And Matt had never been to F1. So we got to go watch the qualifying race.

I had to leave on Saturday because of Miley's birthday. So I didn't get to watch the actual race either. But honestly, kind of cool to just go for qualifying and free practice because it's way less crowded. It's just way better. And then, you know, on Saturday, it's a shit show with all the celebrities and everything. And I kind of liked the way that we did it. Um, it was raining in Vegas. So that actually made very interesting fun race. Lots of not, well, there's a couple of wrecks, I guess. Yeah, a couple spinouts, a couple of hydroplanes situations, um, super fun. I, myself, I was hopeful. I, you know, I've heard Lando's had a great year. You know, it's been the max show for years. I heard Lando's been, you know,

doing great and then during qualifying lando got pole so i was so fucking pumped i was like i'm gonna get to be here for the race that you know max doesn't win or whatever like lando's going to come out on this one no literally as soon as the race fucking started on saturday max overtook him and then lando did come in i think second and then at the fucking end they disqualified both mcclaren's because of like a point oh one two five millimeter difference of tread on a tire or some shit both McLaren's get disqualified so it's like what was even the point like it's just the max show who's max still fun max first step and he's world champion he's been world champion for the past few years he's max just wins everything and it's boring like i get he's the other guy that's

really popular is it lando lando's been killing it no he's handsome i think i mean they all kind of are is it charl leclair no because charl he doesn't do he's not been great louis lewis hamilton louis hamilton He is Gorge. He now drives for Ferrari. He made a switch for Mercedes, and he hasn't been doing great either. Ferraris, their cars, they've been having some problems. Really? Yeah. So the McLaren's are the fastest car? Red Bull. That's Max. Max, his team is Red Bull. Red Bull's been the fastest for years. Who makes the Red Bull car? I don't know. Great question. I'm not really sure. I mean, like Red Bull doesn't have a car company. Yeah. I don't know who makes their engine. There's so much to this. I'm not really sure. At one point, I thought it was Honda, but then they always switch around. I'm not really sure, but Red Bull has the best cars and the best driver in Max. But Lando and McLaren have had a great year. And I think they're at the top of the Constructors title list right now. There's two more races. And I think like they do, you know, at the very end of race season, it's they give the top

driver, they do the driver standings and then they do the team standings. I think right now McLaren is at the top of the team standings. So that could be good. So it's not just like fucking Red Bull Max every year, you know. Well, I'm glad you had fun. I bet Matt liked that because he likes... He loved it. He likes engines.

He's so funny, though. He was like, can we do a hot lap? And I was like, no, you can't just like walk up and ask to do a hot lap. They have to either like pay gazillions of dollars or like be Beyonce to get to do a hot lap on the F1 track. He was like, well, that sucks. I was like, can't you just enjoy that we get to sit here tracks? I'd watch this race. He's like, no, I want to get in the car.

I mean, I don't disagree with that. I would want to do that, too. But I was like, I'll work on that for next year, but no promises. Very cool. I have a bone to pick with the new Apple update. Am I the only one who thinks it's terrible? Everybody always thinks they're terrible every year, I feel like. I feel like the texting has gotten so much worse.

Oh, my's, predictive text doesn't even work anymore. No, it's, yeah, it's like using words that like I'm not even trying to, like, I don't know what's going on. I can't do it. So I've just decided I'm going to be a voice to text guy. I'm a voice to text now, guys, all right? I'm just doing that. So there's no punctuation. Sorry, I don't care.

I'm a big fan of voice memos, like just sending like a voice, like an audio text. I know, but you got to like hit the thing to get it and then you know, it's not like, wait. No, I don't have to scroll. Mine's just on my text. Mine's not on my text. I think you can move that around. Like, here you are. So all I have to do is hit the plus and then it's right there.

And then it just starts recording. Oh, but it's so easy. I'm like recording right now. It's like so easy. It's hands free. I know, but I want it to be right where the little microphone is. I wonder if you can swap that out. Probably.

Anyways, I'm a voice to text boy now. I'm just, and I just, I hate the iPhone update. It sucks. They always suck. Yeah. I want you to look, this is one of my favorite things. I want you to look, get your calendar out and go look. Like my ICAL?

Yeah. Okay. And go look at February, 26. Just go look at it. Okay. Hold on. Why February? Look at the entire month.

Okay, I'm looking at it. How gorgeous does that look? Because it starts on a Sunday and ends on a Saturday? It's perfect. It is perfect. First day, Sunday is right at the beginning. Last day, Saturday, the 28th. It's a perfect.

It's a perfect. It's perfect. Do you see this? Do you see this? And you know what? This is what could be if we added a 13th month. I talked about this last time. We had a 13th month.

This would happen every single month. But we only get it once in a blue year, February 2026. But go look at February 2026. Everyone right now on your phone. And just it's so, the OCD in my brain is just so so so, the dopamine hits that's hitting my body and my heart right now are just. February 2026. What about when it's a leap year?

Are you trying to do away with that entirely? No, I don't know. It's when there's 29 days. Every four years, there's 29 days in February. So then we would just add one more day. Would that screw up your 13 month theory? I don't know, okay? I haven't looked that far into it.

Maybe if we did the 13 months, you wouldn't need the leap year. That would be great. That would be nice. That would be really nice. So you haven't watched anything. Have you gotten, like caught up on Pluribus? No, we haven't watched anything new. The only thing I did, I watched a couple episodes of on the flight to Vegas,

but I did talk about it a little bit last week was the, it's all her fault show or whatever. My mom apparently watched the entire thing and is fucking obsessed with it. I finished it. Was it great? Fantastic. Oh my God. Okay, that's what I'm watching on the flight home today then.

Great twist, by the way. Oh, okay. Great twist. Okay. Didn't see it coming. That's what says a lot for you because you usually can predict stuff. You're going to love it. Once it happens, you're like, oh.

Oh, yes. Very nice. That's a great show, by the way. Good suggestion. I mean, it's a great cast. You had to be, I mean, that would be crazy if it was bad, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know Wells lives in L.A., so maybe not for him.

But for the rest of us, Autumn is near. the temps are dropping, the leaves are falling, and it's my favorite time of the year because that means I can start wearing my sweaters, outerwear, and all of the pieces I love for fall and winter layering. You guys, I love to shop for these pieces at Quince. They right now have these $50 Mongolian cashmere sweaters that are made for everyday wear. They're perfect to dress up or down. You can wear them every day with jeans, or you can dress them up with a nice trouser and wear them out for dinner. Quince's products always surprise me. They just are such high quality and the price is just too good to be true. Sometimes it seems. Quince has Italian wool

coats that are at the top of my shopping list as soon as it gets cold enough to wear. I'm so excited. Plus, I love that Quince works directly with ethical top tier factories.

All right, you guys, I feel like everyone's talking about colostrum, you know, in a world where, like, health is just so popular right now. this word's getting thrown around a lot, but I am a big fan of it, mostly because it's just so easy to implement into my routine. I have really fallen in love with Cowboy Colostrum. Cowboy Colostrum takes a primal whole body approach to wellness with natural clean and built

to work with your body, not against it. Colostrum is often called liquid gold. It's the first nutrition we get at birth. It's packed with immune factors, growth compounds, and nutrients that your body still craves today. And especially during seasonal changes, like right now, obviously I'm sick from it. Your body's defenses can be run down. That's me. Those immune factors make all the difference. So I just started putting it in my smoothies every day. If you guys aren't big on smoothies, you can also mix it into your coffee or even just your milk. I think my gut is messed up and I'm about to do a gut test to prove that. But Colostrum was one of the first things like recommended to me for gut health. So I'm really excited to implement this into my routine. For a limited time,

What else? Have you watched anything else? Okay. I saw, I think, I'm going to say, is the best movie of the year. Oh, that's bold. It's on Netflix. It's beautiful. My favorite author is John Steinbeck, and this is like a Steinbeck novel in movie form.

It's just gorgeous. It's called Train Dreams. Have you heard of it? No. I'm going to say that. right now it's going to win all the things wow it's Joel Eggerton oh I like him he's so good in this dude based on Dennis Johnson's beloved novella train dreams is the moving portrait of Robert Greiner a logger and railroad worker who leads a life of unexpected depth and beauty

in the rapidly changing America of the early 20th century Joel Egerton Felicity Jones Clifton Collins Jr. Paul Schneider, William H. Macy is fantastic in it. Oh, Carrie Condon is in it. So anyways, it's a period piece. So, you know, he's basically going through the Pacific Northwest and he's like a logger. He's like chopping down trees and it's just his life and he meets this woman and they have this beautiful marriage and they have this beautiful daughter and they build their little cabin together. and every year he has to leave during like logging season to go make money for the family. And it's tragic but still beautiful. The cinematography is gorgeous because they're just in Redwood Groves

the entire time or like doing railroad work through the Pacific Northwest. Where it's shots gorgeous, the story is this like so heartbreaking but then also like so uplifting and it just comes back around really well. The acting's fantastic. I think Joel Egerton will win best actor.

And I think this will probably win best film. Wow. Yeah. And I thought that one battle after another was going to sweep, and I still think it'll do well. But I also follow a lot of movie critics on social media, and everyone was just like, at Sundance, this thing killed, and they were all waiting for it to come out. And then now that it's out, everyone's just like, dude, you got to go watch it.

Anyways, I don't know if it's for you. Maybe I think you will appreciate, like, the outdoorness of it, and it's just beautiful. I'll watch it. I really loved it. I really, really loved it. It's like it moved me, too. Oh, wow. Yeah.

I cried a little bit, you know. Mm, I bet, yeah. It was just very Steinbeck-esque. Okay. And I love those novels. My other favorite thing is a guy put a flyer out in New York City. Thousands of people showed up to smoke a cigarette with an elderly man who handed out flyers. There he is.

at him. He's cute old man. Wow. Very cute. This is the flyer. Smoke a cigarette with me. November 21st, 2 to 205 p.m. He had a QR code. Free Cig if you RSVP, 21 and over. I'll check. I'll be at the corner of Waverly Place and University Place. Look at all the people who showed up to smoke six with this guy. What the hell? There's no way he ID'd all these people. way. This is amazing. He's ripping darts with this kid. That's insane.

I think that the world needs more of this. I mean, and maybe not so much sig smoking, because it's not great for you, but also, like, what is? Well, we got so many microplastics in our body and, you know, fluorocor carbons coming in. You know, might as well just have a sig with an old dude every once in a while. That's true. It's not going to kill you. I don't, I would never smoke a SIG, but yeah. I know, but isn't that the cutest thing in the world?

He was like, I don't want people to come, I'd have no one to smoke Sigs with. Oh, is that, was that it? I know. I don't know. He seemed like a guy who, you know, he's old enough like where all his friends are dead, you know? Don't say that. No, it's true. That's what happens.

Yeah, it could be. When you get old, you get lonely because all your friends are gone. God, that's true. That's really sad. It is very sad. That's why dementia and Alzheimer's, of which I think that's what's going to take me out, by the way, Alzheimer's. Why do you think that?

Runs in our family. Why don't you do the test that shows like the, if you have the gene for it? I don't know how to do that. Oh, you can do it through function, our sponsor. Really? Yeah. I've definitely got the gene for it, by the way. Anyways, but that's what's kind of nice about having dementia.

You don't know that your friends are gone. You've forgotten. That's true. You get to meet new people every day. But then you forget all the good stuff. That's true. I know. It is very sad.

Seeing my grandma go like that was tough. But she didn't know. It was just tough for all of us. I know. It was funny when my grandma smoked Sigs daily, but she hit it from us, but we all knew she smoked. And then she also drank a lot. She drank a lot of vodka. And of course, those weren't the things that took her out.

It was the Alzheimer's. It wasn't the Sigs every single day and the half a gallon of vodka a day. But when she got Alzheimer's, she forgot that she smoked. Oh. Like she just stopped smoking because she forgot that's what she did. That's crazy. Isn't that crazy? Yeah.

I wonder how much of that is like, do you actually have an addiction or is it just like a mental thing? I'm sure it's both, right? I imagine she had what was having withdrawals and she didn't know what was going on. She's like, why do I feel? It's possible. Yeah. But anyway, she still wanted to drink, but we would, we would, um, we would, just make her like a soda water and say it was a vodka soda.

And it tricked her. Yeah, because she didn't remember what vodka tasted like. Oh, my God. I know I shouldn't laugh at this, but it's life, you know? It is funny. It's kind of funny. I, aye, aye, aye. Anyways.

I have one thing we just have to touch on. Okay. I know, but by the time this podcast comes out, Dancing with the Stars finale is going to have already happened and we're all going to know what's the tea and who won and whatnot. I just have to say, listen, I don't watch the Mormon Wives show, never seen it. All I've seen is like what I see on TikTok, but I'm sure you, did you see that Whitney got sent home last week? Yes. Yeah, Whitney got sent home.

Your boy Dylan made the cut, probably because Zach was in the crowd and Zach posted for everyone to vote. But like, you know, I see you. I see you, Dylan. I see, I respect it. But Whitney got sent home. And everybody is saying it's because they aired the first episode of Mormon Wives season three. and everyone was freaking out about how bad she looked, quote unquote. Like, everyone was just saying she looks horrible.

Like, we have to get this person. All my TikTok feed was like, we have to get this person off of dancing with the stars. Like, we can't let her win it. And like, sure enough, she fucking got sent home, which is crazy. Here's my hot take. All right. Justice for Whitney, every girl on that show is on there for an ulterior reason. Like, no one's on that show because they want to hang out with their friends.

Everybody's on that show so they can get famous, get Instagram, influencer ads and make money and whatever for the opportunities for crying out loud the one girl is the bachelorette the only difference is Whitney's honest about it Whitney's the only one on there being like yeah I came back because I wanted business with stars what is so wrong with that I just don't understand I just as for Whitney Whitney girl I'm sorry you were the best answer on that show and I don't think you deserve to go home and I am here for the honesty and I just don't understand why everyone's hating on you so I love you yeah yeah so um Who's left?

Yeah, by the way, they're not friends, okay? That's what I'm like, they're all like, we're just so hurt that Whitney would say she's only here for this. What do you mean? None of you guys are friends. Like, this is crazy. Whitney's literally the only one just being honest, and she's getting all this hate.

And I just hate that for her. I just don't think that's fair. It's something that annoys me about reality TV because it's very disingenuous. A lot of these shows, Vanderpump Rules, this Mormon Live show, all the housewives these people aren't friends no they have been cast and they're like okay now you guys have to be friends for this television show then the Mormon wives thing I think they were friends and

they were all swinging together and like doing mom talk dances sure but at the end of the day like they're not really friends no and none of those girls are are literally showing up for set every day because they want to hang out with each other that's just not it and for them to be so mean to Whitney because she's honest about her, you know, priorities and why she, she literally was like, I was so burnt by filming. I wasn't going to come back. And then I guess they dangled the dancing with the stars, carrot. And she was like, well, fuck, that's my dream. So I just don't see anything wrong with this. I don't see anything wrong with a girl that wasn't going to come back for season three because she was burnt out on filming. But her dream is in dancing with the stars. And so she came back

for the opportunity and was honest about it. I don't know. I see nothing wrong. So who's left? You got Dylan. you got Robert. Robert, Dylan, Alex, and Elaine. Is Elaine still there? I don't know. Let me just tell you what's going to happen. Robert's going to win. I already know.

I think it's going to come down to Alex and Robert or Alex and Dylan. I think Robert's going to win. And the guy's going to win. Yeah. I think Alex should win. Yeah, I don't know it well enough. But listen, I would say this. You know, everyone every week was like, why isn't Zach in the audience?

Why isn't Zach in the audience? And so I'm like, well, they're going to have them, but they're going to have them when they need him. Totally. It was a smart move. For sure. It's almost like I would have maybe waited one more a week, actually. I know. Although I don't know if he, I don't, it would have been close, I think, maybe if that hadn't posted.

I think that definitely helped his, yeah, his, his, uh, vote tally. But yeah, I'd bring him back. I'd be like, bro, you're coming back. You got to come back, dude. I got to win a fucking mirror ball. You got to come for the finale. Yeah. So let's say you were doing it, and you know, you had Miley in your back pocket. When are you, when are you pulling the trigger on, hey, sis, I need you now. I think I would probably invite everyone else to the semifinals, like Noah, my mom, have all of them there for that. And then Miley for the final. Yeah. Yeah. See, I got more. I got more than one in my back pocket. He's only got Zach. You got Billy Ray in the quarters. Yeah, I got them all. yeah yeah too good it's a good show everyone's loving it so it's all it really matters

it's had a massive like come back this year which is so cool i think it's a great show i love it i will say this i was texting with with jesse palmer the other day we were actually just talking about football but then i was like oh they're i think they're filming bachelorette right now so i was like how's it going how is this new lead like obviously we took a big swing i can say this he was like, it's going to be such a good show. She is so good at being this bachelorette. Obviously, she's good at making TV, but he was like, she's fantastic. The cast is good.

He was like, I think Paradise is going to be very fun. We've got a lot of good characters. So something to look forward to in the ABC Hulu sphere. Okay, well, that's exciting. Yeah. Things we're thankful for. What do you thankful for, Brandy? Oh my gosh, so much.

So nothing I can really advertise, but doing a few shows up there the week after next. And then I'm going back to Vegas. I'm going to be in

Las Vegas for both weekends of NFR. If you don't know what NFR is, it's national finals rodeo. It's the biggest rodeo of the year. It takes over Vegas for two and a half weeks. They call it Cowboy Christmas. There's crazy shopping. It's just an insane, awesome time to be in Vegas. I will be DJing at the Ariot store on December 6th during the day, I think around 1 p.m. for their party. And then I'll be back the next weekend. I'm DJing at the win with Diplow on the 13th late night. It'll be kind of like a closing party for NFR. And I think Matt and I are going to go to the rodeo too. So that should be fun. So I'll be floating around Vegas and then and then I'm done for the rest of the year. Nice. Yeah. For the first year and I think 10 years that I don't have

to work on New Year's Eve. That's nice. But also why aren't why aren't you working on that? I don't No, I'm shocked that I didn't get asked to do anything, but I, I kind of am glad and, like, want to just chill. So I didn't really push anybody about booking me or, like, didn't really push the agents or anything. I was just kind of like, well, if I don't hear anything, I'm just going to take a break. Yeah. So that's what I'm doing. All right. Why have tears.

We love you. We're thankful for you. I have an amazing turkey day. And we back. Eat some mashed potatoes from wa. Eat some mashed potatoes. Wait, can you not eat mashed potatoes? No, I can, but just like everyone should eat mashed potatoes because they're so good, you know.
