It was a little loud there for a hot sec. Now we're fine. Now we're fine. What else is loud? A helicopter. Hold for helicopter. Please. I'm just going to start with this. I feel like this is an appropriate way to start the show. Yeah. You know? It is.

It was funny because I feel like it was a couple years ago when we started doing this show and I was blown away by the fact that... I'm sorry. A couple years ago we started doing couple years ago when we started doing this show, and I was blown away by the fact that— I'm sorry. A couple years ago we started doing this show? When we started doing this show, it was a couple years ago. It was more than that. Well, yeah.

You know, I'm just— You know, it was whatever. It was like five or six. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I mean, what is time? I don't know. But I remember being blown away that neither your father or your sister had won Grammys.

Mm-hmm. And as of today, that's not true. I remember being blown away that neither your father or your sister had won Grammys. And as of today, that's not true. Congratulations to Miley Cyrus for winning a Grammy finally. Finally. Took way too long. Like how did Wrecking Ball not win a Grammy? Jeez. What a great song.

Or Party in the USA. Right? I know. It doesn't make any sense to me. I think there's a lot of complaints that we could make with the Recording Academy. And I think a lot of people do make a lot of complaints about it. They do. I feel like Jay-Z just made a big

complaint about it at the Grammys, but I feel like she deserved this one. Very much. And it was kind of interesting too because I feel like she didn't tour behind it a whole lot, right? She didn't at all. Very much. And it was kind of interesting too because I feel like she didn't tour behind it a whole lot, right? She didn't at all. At all.

That was the whole shtick was the Grammys advertised this performance. This was her first public performance of Flowers ever. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty cool. Well, anyways, congratulations to Miles... Cyra Smiley.

Cyra Smiley. Cyra Smiley. What's her real name? name well she changed it legally oh she did yeah it was Destiny oh my god you knew that I forgot about that

Destiny Hope Cyrus wow oh my god legally changed smart to Miley Ray Cyrus so much better yeah

because the first one sounds like she just is a stripper I mean like she wasn't even that's what my mom was going for yeah yeah yeah.

Because normally they're like, they're like Sarah, or not Sarah, like Laura Jane Simpson. And they're like, man, I got to change it to star, destiny, child. She was born that way.

Well, speaking though of being naked on stage, your sister did make some mention to not wearing any underwear. Is that a bit or is that true? It wasn't true. She actually posted this morning that she did in fact have underwear on. Honestly, I think it was like a nervous word vomit. Like she didn't know what to say. So it just like came out and then she came off stage and was like, what the, i thinking why did i say that i thought it was good i'm glad because i thought it was cute and funny yeah it's you know you know her like lips like it was very her but it actually like she came off stage and was like what did i just say she didn't like think to say that no really yeah so she had speeches written out cards, like a couple different variations of a speech, I think.

Okay, good for her. It always annoys me when people are like, I didn't think I was going to do it. You know, I didn't plan on this. No, yeah. She had a couple of different options going, you know? Both times she won. The first time I actually loved what she said

about the butterfly story. I thought that was so cute. Okay. So she kind of like, you know, ditched the pre-prepared speech for the butterfly story. Yeah. Which was lovely. And then the second time she had her cards in her little purse and i saw her kind of fumbling with the purse to get the cards and i think she was having trouble getting into the

purse and was kind of like well whatever and just started talking yeah and the underwear bit came out so i think the underwear bit was the best part of the i thought it was funny you know i loved it do you i got thanked so i you know i was pleased yeah as one as you should i saw you were there with your mom yeah and her boyfriend was there as well yep and they both had equally large hair quaffed hair just the bouffant the amount of aquanet that was used for that hair i didn't know what year it was i think that's what she was going for honestly no shit i mean she's been kind of i feel i mean i don't know she's your sister but i feel like she's really taking a duck to water to like 80s hair bands yes which is absolutely tish's fault oh really oh

that's all my mom grew up on that's so funny yeah that's what we grew up on like one of my first concerts was bon jovi we went to see warrant when I was a young child yeah like definitely my mother to blame well very cool I mean you were there so you were at the Grammys it's obviously gonna come out a couple days later but like you were at the Grammys what uh what was like the best other than like your sister winning what was your favorite part yeah I mean obviously Miley winning and Miley's performance were the highlight for me yeah um. Um, other really cool things for me. I loved seeing Tracy Chapman, um,

fast car with Luke. I mean, I really thought Luke did a good job of really giving her the floor, but I thought he did a really good job of really just stepping back during the performance. So that was very cool. Joni Mitchell. I don't cry.

I was teary. How was she looking? I mean, yeah, but her song was just so, I don't cry. I was teary. How was she looking? I mean, but her song was just so moving. What'd she do? I didn't even watch it. I saw the highlights. Did she do Coyote? No, I don't know what it's called. I'm so terrible. Can you look it up? Both Sides Now. Both Sides Now. It was so emotional.

Was it? She performed towards the end of the show, you know? Yeah. And so like after just an entire, first of all, the Grammys are so long. So long. Three and a half hours, you know? So like towards the end, I think just after three hours of just all of this pyro and the glitter and the just theatrics and the dancers and just all the show of it, just to have her sit there and sing this insanely emotional, brilliant song was just really moving.

It was hard to explain, but like very, very cool. She sounds so young here. Have you, she was, I mean, she still is beautiful, but like back in the day, just total smoke show. Yeah.

And she, when like, so she started with her chair turned like away from the crowd and it turned and whatnot. And then at the very end, I mean, everybody stood up and was just clapping and crying and just the look on her face.

Like, yeah, just so sweet. I know. I loved it. Have you ever seen the last Waltz? No. You should watch that.

It's one of my favorite live musical documentaries. It's directed by Martin Scorsese, which that's a segue into a later thing. It's one of my favorite things. And it's all about martin scorsese which that's a segue into a later thing it's one of my favorite things and it's all about the band's last show which happens on thanksgiving in like 74 they just bring out all their best friends joni mitchell is one of those people that comes out and she's just so hot and like so freaking talented and she is like one of the stars of the whole thing which is just chock full of like you know it's like bob dylan and neil diamond

and neil young and everyone's there but joni mitchell is like definitely one of the whole thing, which is just chock full of like, you know, it's like Bob Dylan and Neil Diamond and Neil Young and everyone's there. But Joni Mitchell is like definitely one of the highlights. So that's so cool. I should watch that. The performance, those performances were, yeah, were my faves besides Miley. Miley winning that first award was just so cool. Cause we, you know, we, we go into it. Like, it's like I said to my mom beforehand, I was like, she's, she's performing. Like they they gotta give her at least one and she was like they didn't your dad and i was like he performed and she was like yes he performed icky breaky and did not win a thing and i was like oh my god she might be so devastated you know so that first one i think because it was before her performance we were like oh please like let

us get this one too because like just to go into the performance knowing you got one would be so great and so we're all sitting there and we're kind of nervous and then we see mariah carey walk out yeah and we're looking around like this can't be real miley loves mariah carey but are they friends i mean they've met before yeah but like miley's obsessed with her you know and mc and mc and so i get it but that was that a thing beforehand i didn't know that was kind of yeah it's like miley calls herself mc and we every calls mariah carey mc so this is the thing and so she comes out and for me it was like a oh my God, this is a sign. We're winning this.

So you didn't know who was going to be the presenter? No, isn't that crazy? That's weird. It was like such a cool surprise. Miley's whole face lit up, you know? And so for me, I saw her come out and I was like, oh, we're winning this. Like this is in the bag because it's Mariah Carey. It's a sign.

And my mom was thinking like, oh my God, if she doesn't get this, she's going to be devastated because it's Mariah Carey. And so I was like, no, I just know. And so it was just a cool thing to like see Mariah Carey and then she got it and then the cute and it was nice. Nice. Yeah.

Trevor Noah did a good job. He did. Yeah. I feel like he's always, you know, always kind of does the same thing. It's always good. Yeah.

Taylor Swift won a bunch. You know, she won a couple. Yeah. She's won a few. Yeah. But like she was nominated for a lot. Yeah.

But like, sorry, she wins everything. I was happy to see like Billie Eilish won best song. Yeah. And you know, Taylor was nominated. So it was nice to see some other people get some recognition also. I'll tell you what was one of my least favorite things. What's that? I thought for sure Noah Khan was going to win a Grammy.

You did? Yeah, for sure. That category, every year it's so stacked. Yeah. But this time when they were announcing the nominees i was like holy shit like they're all so good yeah i know it was really stacked who won that one it was victoria monet okay and i gotta say like i love noah khan and but like she i do think it was very well deserved victoria monet was also nominated in a couple

other bigger categories so it was kind of like for me like all right if she's also nominated for like best you know hip-hop song or whatever it was, and she was nominated for, I was like, she's probably one best new artist. Her speech was so sweet and so genuine. And she, we just met her afterwards and she was just so lovely. So I thought it was well-deserved, but man, like what a stacked category, because almost every single person in that category, I was like, oh, I want them. Oh no, wait, I want them. I want them, you know, like you wanted everyone to win it. Um, but the, everybody in best best new artist they always sit them close to each other and they all sat right behind me oh really um jelly roll too he's nominated um yeah so i

thought he did win did he win for like country or whatever yeah award but he was nominated for best new artist and well i think he won best new artist in country because that's a thing because his i don't know i heard his speech being like oh i'm 39 years old and i just won best new artist in country because i don't know i heard his speech being like oh i'm 39 years old and i just won best new artist well i think that was about being nominated because i remember that speech okay which was i liked that speech a lot but anyway um yeah noah khan noah khan i always say his name i'm saying it because he sat behind me and you talked to him i didn't i like turned around dude he knows who i am he watches watches Bachelor in Paradise. Does he? Yes. And he follows me.

He does. Okay. So I. We've talked about this before. Whatever. Okay. So I. He definitely knows who you are.

Well, okay. I was sitting in front of it and I, I, I love to people watch, especially these things. The people watching was amazing. So I would like turn around a lot and he and I made eye contact a few times and I was like, oh shit, he knows. He knows I'm the girl that mispronounced his name. No. Everyone, everyone mispronounced his name at first. But like, I kept thinking that I was like, oh, he for sure knows i'm the girl that mispronounced his name and no everyone everyone mispronounced his name at first but like i kept thinking that i was like oh he for sure like no

like that freaking girl shouldn't said my name wrong um whatever we were we were way early on noah khan i will say this jason isbell won two grammys i was pretty pumped about that very cool and that's also a segue into something one of my favorite things going forward stapleton also won um i think he won best country song for white horse which i was pumped about because that's also a segue into something, one of my favorite things going forward. Chris Stapleton also won, I think he won best country song for White Horse, which I was pumped about because that's a great song. Yeah. Cool that Meryl Streep was there. Yeah.

You know, I like saw her from the crossroad and I was like, is that? I was like, but now why would she be here? And, but it was her. That's cool. She probably has an EGOT somehow. Yeah. I assume. I don't know how she has a Grammy, but I bet you she does.

Probably. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Well, very cool. I, you know, she has a Grammy, but I bet you she does. Probably. Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Well, very cool. I wish I was invited, but it's fine. One day, one day I'll be. Why would you be invited? Because I'm friends with you.

It doesn't work like that. You know, I thought you had like an extra plus one or something. No, I definitely don't get that. No, no, no. I will say, so I'm a little, everyone's had tables this year, which I thought was nice. Yeah. And on the table, there were these little things that looked like a speaker, like a microphone.

Yeah. Or a speaker. It was like one or the other. And we couldn't tell what they were. And I was like, is it a microphone? For sure. Talking to everybody. I'm freaked out.

And they were like, maybe it's just for looks, you know? And then I said, I pulled on it. No, it was plugged in. It was wired in there. And I listened. I didn't hear anything coming out of it. I think they were eaves I pulled on it. No, it was plugged in. It was wired in there. And I listened. I didn't hear anything coming out of it. I think they were eavesdropping on us. Well.

For sure. That's like Walt Disney. Yeah, I know. You know? Yeah, I do. Mic'd up Club 33 so you could listen to us. I'm telling you. Well, I'm telling you.

I'm sure that the recording academy is like, everyone's angry at us. We got to find out who is upset with us. Well, very cool. Find out who is upset with us. Well, very cool. Congratulations to Destiny. Destiny. What was it again?

Destiny Hope. Tish. Come on, girl. My dad's to blame for the middle name. Well, Hope is okay. It's fine. He did that. It's the destiny part that I'm having a problem. Well, the whole name was because it's her destiny to bring hope to the world.

Oh, my God. He wasn't wrong about it, though. He's probably for sure high. Now that I know things, I'm always high for sure. But he wasn't wrong. No. All right, quick PSA for those of you out there who rent. If you haven't heard of Built, you're about to thank me.

That's good. You know, we need it. We really need it. We didn't need it last night. They said, you guys, I watched the news this morning. Cause that's what my mom watches six months of rain in one day. Yeah. I saw that. That's good. You know, we need it. We really need it. We didn't need it last night on the red carpet. I'll tell you that. Yeah, I get that. Pretty terrible. I was up in Carmel for the AT&T pro-am with, uh, all of bachelor nation. Oh, cute. And it got red. That got rained out. So they didn't have it? So the last two days got rained out. Oh, man. Or the last day.

Bummer. The last day. Golf is life. Golf is life, but we, it was. What's that accent? That was from, you didn't watch the show. That is from Ted Lasso. Oh, yeah.

Football is life. I don't like that show. Anyways, it was a star-studded cast. Let's see. Football is life. I don't like that show. Anyways, it was a star-studded cast. Let's see.

We had Ben Higgins, Jess Higgins, my wife, Dean, Kaylin, Chris Harrison, Lauren Zima, Justin Glaze, Susie. Don't know your last name, but you're lovely. Evans. There you go. Suzanne and Kathy from Golden Bachelorette. Oh, do they golf? No, they fucking take selfies. That's what they do.

I just asked. So many selfies. I was like, ladies, come on. Let's just all take a picture, you know? Who else was there? Oh, Bob Guinea, Andrew Firestone. It was a star-studded cast. We had a lot of fun, man.

We had a lot of fun. How'd you do? Were you good? I didn't play. Well, yes, we actually did. I went and played played cyprus one of my favorite places in the world super exclusive golf club don't worry about it and then i went and played against all those guys but mainly in our group it was me ben dean chris harrison so it was a tough match and who came out victorious your boy really by a lot i thought you sucked at the last one. I did.

Okay. But that's golf for you, baby. I won $130 from Chris Harrison. Okay. I won... Dean Unglert, or Dean Bell now, doesn't have Venmo, okay? He just has Apple Pay. I don't even think Steve Jobs uses Apple Pay, okay?

So he could only pay me in Apple Pay. I have $240 in Apple Pay. I know it's all from him. It's Apple Pay. Okay? So he could only pay me in Apple Pay. I have $240 in Apple Pay. I know it's all from him. It's Apple Cash, right? Whatever the fuck it is. Apple Pay is totally different. I have no idea how much he really paid me, but he paid me money and then I won $80 from Ben. Because the reason why I didn't win more money from Ben is because Ben and I were on the

same team against Chris and Dean and then we had all the indie matches. Anyways, nerdy golf talk. I shot 80 in like howling winds, which was pretty good. Howling, huh? Howling winds. Wow. There was some things in the news I thought we should touch on real quick.

Okay. Did you see that King Charles? Yes, but it's benign. No, no, he has cancer. No, but it's benign cancer. That's what the news said this morning that I watched. All the news that I've been watching. Can, but it's benign cancer. That's what the news said this morning that I watched. All the news that I've been watching.

Can you Google it? I guess I can't. That's all Dom talked about this morning. Let's go with the BBC because I feel like they will know what's up. This was three hours ago. King Charles III diagnosed with cancer, Buckingham Palace says. The type of cancer has not been revealed. It is not prostate cancer, but it was discovered during the recent treatment of an enlarged prostate. The king began regular treatments on Monday

and will postpone public duties during the treatment, the palace said. The king, 75, remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible. No further details are being shared on the state of cancer or prognosis.

This dude just got to be king. Like seven minutes ago. I know. And now he's got the cancer. I feel like that runs in their family though. Yeah, his grandfather died of lung cancer, but I think he was a joyful smoker. Oh, I think a lot of them were, right?

They're British. Yeah. Come on. They're all smoking still. They're all chain spoken from like 12 and up. Which by the way, did you see there is a new referendum against the zins?

Do you know what zins are? Yeah, they're disgusting. They're so gross. Yeah. A lot of people that I've played golf with use zins and I've tried them. It's like my gums are on fire. I don't understand it. People love them. Listen, I'm gonna have some nicotine. I will have a cigarette. Sure. Analog. I won't do that. Analog,

baby. Alright? People with jewels can't stand ya. You know? Yeah. I will have a cigarette. Sure. Analog. I won't do that, baby. Analog, baby. All right? People with jewels can't stand you. You know? Yeah. Give me an old-fashioned ciggy. Okay. I'm going down. I'm going down swinging.

Looking cool. Just kidding. Don't do that. Smoking kills. It does. Especially King Charles' grandfather. Yeah, we did the crazy floods. Super Bowl coming up.

So I'm like going to go with that. Cause I like stake in that. I'm going to go ahead and say this. And so to not piss off the Swifties which is so funny that me saying a team that I like

could anger a group of fans for music but listen this is like being like okay I'm done with the Yankees I'm done with the Alabama Crimson Tide

Elvis. That's terrible. Austin Butler. I need Austin Butler to quit with the, I'm trying to act like the coolest guy. Oh, okay. I thought you were going to say the Elvis accent, but he's still doing that too.

Here's the thing though. He's always kind of sounded like that. Not at all. When he was on the Disney channel show, he did not sound like that at all. My mom says he did. He was on Hannah Montana. And my mom was like,

I remember him kind of sounding like that on, on, on Hannah Montana. I met him when he was dating Vanessa and he did not sound like that. He just sounded like a normal guy. Okay, but then I think he kind of did and then you go through puberty and your voice gets deeper

and then probably even more so. I met him post-puberty. Okay, whatever. I feel bad for the guy because- You feel bad for that guy? I do because everyone gives him shit and just leave him alone. Let him sound like Elvis.

Did you see that he is getting a speech coast? Yes, that's why I feel bad. Like everyone needs to chill. I just think that he thinks in his mind, this sounds so cool and I'm gonna keep doing it. I don't think he thinks that. I 100% think that. I don't think he thinks that.

100%. Because if he thought that, he would stop doing it because he's getting so much shit. No, I think every girl's like, that's so sexy. But every guy's like, what are you doing?

I don't think so. Anyway. You need him to stop being what? On the show. He just is like, yeah, we gotta. We gotta lead him to the promised land. And you're like, what? It's like, yeah, Bucky, let's go.

So is this a writer's problem or an Austin Butler problem? Do you want to know what I think it is? I think it's a directorial problem. I think that there was no director to be like, hey, bud, let's stop with the toothpick in the mouth. You don't love it? I get it. Like, he's the heartthrob of this thing.

Right. But it's a little over the top for me. But I will say this. I really like the show. Okay. During World War II, five miles above the ground and behind enemy lines, ten men inside a bomber known as the Flying Fortress battle

unrelenting flocks of German fighters, masters of the air, on Apple+. The cast is fucking ridiculous. It really is. As much as I want to make fun of Austin Butler, he's great in it. But his voice is a little silly. Anthony Boyle is in it. He's the navigator who gets sick a lot. He was one of the original people from Harry Potter,

The Cursed Child on Broadway. Never saw Harry Potter. Okay, but this is the Broadway one with Sarah's dad, who's Dumbledore. And so we met him years ago, and he's great. The Barry Cohegan? He's the guy that's in everything? Fulper this thing banshees of inner sharon he's the one guy well there's a bunch of people who aren't american his american accent is better than everyone else's and he is not american no he's irish and then the guy calum turner that He's my favorite. He's so good. I love him. So he was in, did you ever see The Last Letter to Your Lover?

No. So good. Is it great? It's great. Absolutely great. And he's in that. Wait, he's hitting Dua Lipa? Oh, well, that makes sense.

He seems tall. Interesting. I didn't know that. Didn't see him last night. He's so cute. If you guys have not seen the last letter to your lover oh my god you have to see it it's shailene woodley this came out like probably this is nicholas sparks like three years ago no probably no anyway the show i like it okay but i i feel

like there's no like plot that's really grasping me quite yet. We're really early in it right now. Yes. I'm more earlier than you. The initial plot that I've kind of grabbed onto is that the Royal Air Force, the British Air Force is like giving the American Air Force shit because we do our bombing runs during the day. So we can see what we're, what we're bombing against or what we're bombing. So we're not killing civilians. Right.

And the British are like, that's crazy. Cause that's just asking to get shot down by the fighters true and so i think one of the the initial themes is is that we're heroes in the last episode that i watched bucky and buck are talking about that and he's like we're just going to lead our guys through like that's what we're going to do got it and so i wonder if that's the theme of like, or I wonder if the theme is America came into this war with a lot of moral superiority. Like that's how we're going to fight. And then by the end we're like,

fuck these Nazis were dropping bombs. Right. I don't know. Okay. Well, you know, that's the only, the first thing that I've taken in this whole thing.

That's my thing is like, there's, there's exciting parts, you know, when they're doing the airstrikes and like whatever and it's good but I'm like so what's the story though? I don't know. That's my only complaint so far. The navigator that gets sick, Antony. Yeah, I like him.

His character arc I think is going to be amazing. I think he's going to go from the guy who could not even be up in the plane to like he's going to be a hero to I think he's playing someone who dies and it's going to be really sad. But that's just how I see this joke playing out. I like it though. I'm totally into it.

Cute watch, for sure. Continued on with, have you, did you, did you even try to do The Curious Case of an Entire Grace?

I did not. I watched like no TV. Just so we're clear. Okay, okay. I need you, I need you and your mom to start watching this. My mom is never going to watch that.

I'll try. Please. I'll try. And I'm now in Natalia Speaks. I'm in the second season, okay? And I still am not sure if it's real. And I want to know if the YFTers think this shit's real or not. Okay.

Because every episode I'm like, there's no way people act like this and the other thing that's amazing about it is i've now worked in enough reality tv where like i wish i could get people to act like to do this in a chair it's so hard to get people to be emotive and like say weird shit let alone when like you're on trial or like you could be in trouble and your lawyers what you know like every time i watch the episode like there's no way this is real but it's so fucking good jeez louise everyone needs to go watch that show that's insane let me ask my sister if she's seen it oh my god please

make her go watch it she said i think she's 50 and then i, do you think it's true or no? And she said, it seems fake. Okay. So she finished it. I think so. Season two. Is that the last year? Yeah.

I finally watched Killers of the Flower Moon. Oh, I've been wanting to watch it. Okay. And I think it's a pure alley because it is like, you know, it's like a, it's a Western effectively. I will say this right off the bat. I couldn't do it in one sitting. Well, it's long, right?

It's like three and a half hours. Like I watched an hour and then I was like, I'm going to go work out. I need like a break from this. And then when I came back and Sarah, she didn't watch it with me, but she was kind of making fun of me because she was like, wow, you had to take a break.

And I was like, it's just a long freaking movie. And then I came back and I started watching and I was like, wow, you got to take a break. And I was like, it's just a long freaking movie. And then I came back. I started watching and I was like, oh, this is so good. It's so good. The cast is ridiculous. Scorsese does an amazing job as he always does. But I tell you who the scene stealer is. It's the woman.

Yeah. Lily Gladstone. Yeah. She won some awards for that role. She's going to win an Academy Award for this. Like she is so, so very good in this. When oil is discovered in 1920s Oklahoma under Osage Nationland, the Osage people are murdered one by one until the FBI steps in to unravel the mystery.

Killers of the Flower Moon. It's on right now on Apple for free so go watch it there it's leo dicaprio it's robert de niro this woman lily gladstone jesse plemmons is very very good in it brendan frazier and john lickow kind of like coming at the end but like very very good. And then here's the thing. I feel like Scorsese was like living in Nashville for a while and wanted to hire his favorite musicians. Okay. Because Jason Isbell has like a huge part in it. No.

Huge part. What? Sturgill Simpson's in it. Interesting. He has a pretty big part. He's not as good of an actor as Jason Isbell is. How funny. And then Jack White's in it.

What? I'm telling you, it was like all of my favorite Nashville musicians are just in this film. Huh. It's a fucked up story. And it's like very true. I know. What they do to these people is so messed up. And it's really sad to see.

And the other thing that they kind of like shed light on that I didn't realize is that, that native Americans had, there was a huge diabetes problem with them because they were so not used to eating sugar the way like these Western Europeans were. When we came over here, it wasn't like we brought sickness and everything and like fire water you know and the alcohol and it was also diabetes and so so many of them died from diabetes interesting highly recommend it just takes a long time but the end is really really good and leo is is just leo he's so good robert de neo is really good too. Okay. So love to hate him. Yeah? Love that.

Yeah. I do need to watch that. And I need to watch Oppenheimer. I know, I gotta get into that one too. And then I started watching a documentary that's like whatever, but kind of fun. It was a documentary about Alexander the Great. Okay.

Fun, huh? Alexander, the making of a god. Oh. Alexander was the king and widely considered to be one of history's greatest and most successful military commanders. By the age of 30, he had created one of the largest empires in history. Alexander, the making of a god on Netflix. So it's interesting.

So it's like they're acting out scenes, but then there's also like professors people that study history like talking about it and like his strategy and like what they were doing going up against the persians all this kind of stuff so it kind of goes back and forth between like documentary and like a film i guess okay fascinating one of the things i took away from it that i thought was interesting so alexander was gay and in old greek back then they didn't have a word for gay like the only word that they had was like just being sexual with people and like it was very i think i just assume like very fluid you know yeah and people were just having sex with everybody i was thinking about that in the terms of like people are like this woke agenda and like the

world is you know oh my god you know it's a bunch of betas and all this stuff this woke agenda and like the world is you know uh oh my god you know it's a bunch of betas and all this stuff that you hear and like red pill pill blue pill all this stuff that i'm like well this motherfucker was like one of the best like war commanders ever yeah and apparently he was a little light in the loafers i mean you know yeah so i don't understand i don't get it anyways it's um it's. It's not like the best thing in the world. You're so nuts. I'm convincing myself that I liked it. I can see that.

We got sent some fun things from the YFTers that I thought we would. Oh, thank God. Because, you know, we're a little un-material here. Well, you know, I came with some shit. This I thought was interesting. A few months ago, my whole family moved to the middle of nowhere for the apocalypse. They moved to rural Missouri. And whenever I say this, people are always like, why Missouri?

And I didn't realize that most people don't know the weirdest bit of Mormon lore. Mormonism is technically an apocalypse religion. It's all about the latter days. And the lore is. I never thought of it like that, but that makes sense. And I think a lot of religions are apocalyptic. For sure. Right?

Like Christianity is like the rapture is coming. Yep. Why do we do that? I'm not sure. I want a religion that's like, dude, good shit's coming. You guys have no idea. And I guess that's the idea of this is like once you are judged or whatever, then. But like, I don't.

Can I have good shit before I die? Right. That's what I want. Okay. Is that when Jesus Christ comes to the earth again, he's going to touch down and live in rural Missouri. And then again, like why Missouri? And there's more lore about how when Adam and Eve walked the earth, the Garden of Eden was supposedly in rural Missouri. No.

There's no way. I've been to rural Missouri. Yeah. It ain't that nice. No. Have you been to Branson? My dad used to play there every year when I was a kid. So I dated a girl who had a house, like a lake house there.

We would go and we'd go to shows and I would always be like, this is where talented people come to die. Yes. Not where Jesus comes back. Absolutely. And there is a prophecy that all Mormons will be called to Zion, which is rural Missouri, and that they will all have to pack up and move out there. And it'll be like apocalyptic conditions. There are some excited, zealous Mormons that are moving out there early. And my parents happened to fall into that camp. So they took all my siblings and they moved out to rural Missouri.

So that's the Mormon lore that ruined my life basically okay that's bonkers by the way there's a part of me that thinks that this is like some big master plan by the missouri tourism board for sure because like we're talking about zion over here well, there's a Zion right in Utah and it's beautiful. And that one, that one I could see being. Right? Where Adam and Eve hung out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But Missouri? I don't know.

Although it would explain why they were naked because it's so freaking hot and humid there. Not all year. Most of the time. I used to go duck hunting in Missouri it's cold as balls there really yes yeah but I feel like

there's just like some governor of Missouri who was like Mormon he was like alright that's the idea we gotta get some more people

to move here alright this is where it's gonna be fucking Missouri bro first of all the Garden of Eden was probably in the Middle East somewhere

right I assume between the Euphrates and the Tigris River. That sounded like I knew some shit, didn't it? It did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For a second you go, what the fuck? You went. Here we go.

Yeah, you went. What the fuck is happening here? But also it was, it was, listen, if I know anything about my theology is that between the Euphrates and the Tigris is where we believe scholars maintain that is where Adam and Eve first took a bite of the forbidden fruit. Thank you, Brother Wells. Yes. Amen. By the way, when we went into Disney World and we went through Star Wars World,

this might not be funny to you because you're not Catholic, so I don't know what you guys say, but you're Christian. So every time we went through Star Wars World, they'd be like, may the force be with you. And then I would start replying with, and also with you,

may you lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord and God. It is right to give thanks and praise. Look not on our sins, but on the faith of the church. I started like regurgitating shit. Everyone's like, what are you? And they say it's not a cult?

Yeah. Well, I don't know if you know who I am. I'm a man of the cloth. Anyways. Anyways, so funny, Missouri. That would be my first, that would be my first inkling to be like,

I don't, guys, I don't know about this religion. Have you guys, have you guys been to fucking Kansas City? I don't know. It's not good.

That's not it. And one of my other favorite things, I don't know if you saw this, but Michael Buble. Michael Buble played in a celebrity NHL all-star game. Okay. I saw that Justin Bieber played in it as well.

And Michael Buble, yes, he is like the man who sings all the amazing Christmas songs. And I feel like every like middle-aged woman like loves him so much. But I've seen a bunch of interviews with him and he seems like the raddest dude. Really? Yes. And he's doing a post-game interview with Will Arnett. And this is what he says.

And it's so freaking funny. My buddy told me this is just a microdose of mushrooms and he was lying. So I'll be honest, I thought i was in glades of glory for most of the time that i was out there until it sort of settled down and then i realized holy shit i am at the nhl all-star game this is during a post-game interview that's incredible if you're watching this video you can kind of see he's still feeling it. Like his eyes are like big.

And then WillowNet tries to, I think, tries to save him a little bit. But the damage is done, sister. Through all the incredible songs that you've done over the years and all the hearts of women that you've won over around the world, with all that talk about fantasy hockey, you lost them all in one sentence it all just evaporated years of building it up and just and it just gone i love that so much i would never take mushrooms no before a televised hockey event definitely not but you know what michael good for you man he can do whatever he wants. What a fucking badass. It's so funny.

He was like, my buddy said that this was a microdose and it was not. And I thought I was in the movie Blades of Glory. And what's funny about that is that Will Arnett is in the movie Blades of Glory. So there you go. There you go. Little side fact.

Last thing. I saw this on TikTok and I thought it was really interesting. And then maybe I'm on some mushrooms right now. I don't know. Did you know that fire can only be made from living shit? Like if you think about it, has anything ever been on fire that wasn't alive at some point?

I mean, who knows outside of our planet, but our planet just, we can figure out like what burns here. Like rocks don't burn, right? I bet my dead ends would burn if you set my hair on fire. But your hair was alive at one point. True. Right? I think.

I don't know. Like dirt doesn't burn. Right. Right? Uh-huh. Sand doesn't burn. It melts. The only thing that creates fire had to have been alive at some point.

Wood, grass, bodies, bones. I guess so. Carbon, effectively. Gasoline, oil. Those fucking, those are dinosaurs and shit. Right? Don't know. I don't know.

The more I think about it, it's like, that's crazy to me. Uh-huh. That this thing, fire, that is like the most important thing for us. Important. Well, I mean, like it keeps us warm and everything and we drive our cars with it.

Okay. I don't know. Maybe AI is going to be the bigger thing, but I think the controlling and discovering of fire is the biggest thing that happened to humanity. Interesting, okay. It can only be created by shit that was alive. Yeah.

And that's fucked up. Is it? I don't know, maybe. Interesting. That was not a microdose. That's what it's sounding like. But if you think about it, it's kind of crazy. I don't know.

I think it's fine. Whatever. Do we have any like fuck you very muches or anything? Or we don't need it? All right, five stars. Subject line, my favorite thing from Always Listening 305. When I first listened to this pod years ago and barely knew of Wells, I remember thinking, why is this guy yelling?

But after sticking around, I can honestly say, this is my favorite podcast. Aw. Good timing there. The recommendations, the short stories, the friendship between these two, the silliness, even the way the pod starts, which just dwells in formally talking.
