What is that? For when we say my favorite thing. Yes. Right? Don't you. What is that? For when we say my favorite thing. Yes. Right? Don't you think we need that? Yeah, because I always say ding, ding, ding. It's so stupid. Alright, alright. I also, so wait, was last week Kristen? Yeah.

Right? Yeah, last week was Kristen. So somebody was giving her crap at how many times she said, girl. Girl. I know. But thankfully no one noticed that I think I say, oh my gosh, like 8 million times. That's like my go-to, like when I don't know how to respond to something, I just say, oh my gosh.

Yeah. We all have tics. So silly. You know, I edit the show, so I hear a lot of what we do. What do I say a lot I'm just always so focused on the annoying things I say that I don't really listen to what you're saying typical not paying attention to me yeah every woman in the world I feel like doing that all right not one woman that's on her way. Oh. You just got red in the face from making me nervous.

That's funny. It was funny. I felt bad for even saying it, but it was too good not to say. All right. You want to start? Sure. Me or you? I think you did it last time. Yeah, go for it.

You're listening to Your Favorite Thing Podcast with... Wells and Brandy. Woo-hoo! And we have that now. We go on these meander around on this show. Nice way of saying it, yeah. Right? And when we finally actually do the thing that we're supposed to be doing on this podcast,

I feel like we need to have some sort of bookmark. Right. But I feel like maybe also if I start rambling, you can just, your bell is like your, hey, stop. Stop. But then I need one. Okay, I'll get a bunch of bells for us, okay? All right.

This is an exciting show, I guess. Mm-hmm. Because we're going to have Danielle Maltby on. Yes, we are. So for those of you that don't know, do you think anyone's listening to this podcast that wouldn't know this? No, I don't. Yeah. I really don't you that don't know, do you think anyone's listening to this podcast that wouldn't know this? No, I don't.

Yeah. I really don't. This is what happened, okay? Danielle was on Bachelor in Paradise. I was the bartender. We've been friends for years, long before I was ever on The Bachelorette and she was on The Bachelor. We went on one date like three years ago. Nothing ever came of it.

She's part of my like really close inner circle of friends. She leaves Bachelor in Paradise. I walk her out. I plant one on her. Yikes. Yeah, it's fresh in my memory. I re-watched it today just so I just needed a recap. It's a hot kiss, man. It kind of was.

I'm not going to lie. She goes to Africa to save babies because she's a good person. The show airs and I don't know if we realized how crazy the shipping of the Dan Wells was going to be. Dan Wells? Is that really? That's it? That's what, like, Lauren Zima from Entertainment Tonight came up with. Got it.

I like it. I just don't think we realized how big of a deal it was going to be. So then we go and film the after show, which is why we missed a show two weeks ago. Right. All Wells' fault. Told you. All my fault. All my fault.

They ask Danielle on stage, what's the deal with you and Wells? And they cut it from the show. I honestly can't believe that. I know. I really can't because as much of a train wreck as this season was, I would have liked to think that they would have appreciated some realness to what all happened because everything else was just so absurd. What Chris Harrison said, let me pull up.

So they got a lot of crap for not airing it, right? Yeah, I saw that on Twitter and stuff. So Chris Harrison, this is what he tweeted out. Producers cut the bit about Danielle and Wells update because it was pretty confusing and unsatisfying. I saw that tweet, yeah. To which I replied, this tweet could

also be applicable to the majority of my sexual encounters in college. Because your go-to is to always make a joke. Can I tell you what I really wanted to reply to Chris? Sure. Because I was a little annoyed by it. I realize that the world wants things to be black and white. They do.

You know, like yes or no. But guess what? The world isn't like that. But to be fair, like it's a little more complicated than just, yes, we're getting married tomorrow. Yeah. So what this reminds me of, it's such interesting timing. So I haven't been watching The Bachelor very long, just like a year or two. So everyone always talks about all these past seasons I've never seen.

So I've decided I'm going to go back and watch some seasons. So I just binge-watched Juan Pablo's season, because it was one a lot of people talked about. And I watched it with my roommate, and she'd already seen it, and she had all these opinions about, like, he's a jerk, blah, blah, blah. He's okay. Wow. Have you seen his season, Wells? I watched a little. This one I was living with my sister.

Oh, okay. And so I loved him, because he was such a jackass. I kind of liked him, too. Really? I'm not going to lie. And here's why. Because, you know, it's very clear that you are pressured in a sense to be engaged at the end and to fall into this like epic love.

And that's great when some people do. Yeah. But I think that it's okay if they don't because there's a million zillion gazillion people in the world and there's like, what, 20 something that show up up i mean that those aren't great odds really to meet somebody yeah you know what i mean so i think i just think it's okay if you don't and i thought that um on his episode of the final rose i mean chris harrison was bullying him to say that he loved nikki and and to tell them like you know their plans for afterwards and blah blah. And his stance was, it's not black and white. I'm not going to sit here and tell you in front of everybody that I'm in love with her if I don't feel it.

You know what I mean? And I respected that from him because I feel like everybody is. They just feel like, oh, I'm just going to say what everyone wants to hear. And sometimes I think people mean it and sometimes I don't. And I don't know. I just have a lot of mixed feelings about it all. it and sometimes I don't and I don't know. I just have a lot of mixed feelings about it all.

For the most part, those storylines that happen on The Bachelor or Bachelor in Paradise or The Bachelor, like those things happen, but usually there's seven hours of footage that they are able to compress down into like four sentences and make it super concise. But then when you do those live shows like we did and we just gave like honest answer and I know that they wanted the wells has got a neil lane ring in his pocket yeah exactly but that's not but that's just really not real so i really i wanted to respond to chris being like dude i'm sorry that we didn't give you exactly what you wanted but i think the reason why people liked us so much was because we were friends remember before she's a very relatable, normal human being.

She's a nurse and a good person and all that kind of stuff. And then for me too, I think a lot of people were like, Wells is a nice guy. He's like the guy that never gets the girl kind of a thing. Like they're perfect for each other. Even though it was, her answer probably was convoluted, I think people will still appreciate it. I mean like, oh, okay. For sure. I don't know.

I think if they embrace that authenticity and that honesty of what you and Danielle have, people still respond to that. People respond to the realness. You know what I mean? And I don't know. I just think they need to embrace that a little more than just this cheesy formula that has worked for them, but not be afraid to try something different. I had conversations with producers about their casting choices a lot.

had conversations with producers about their casting choices a lot and I remember when the shutdown happened I was like I'm really annoyed with you guys for casting Corinne and I was really annoyed last year when they cast Chad and I was like I realize that you think there are some high ups in wherever Warner Horizon ABC that think that that's what people want. They want that crazy, weird thing. To be honest with you, I was there, well, I wasn't there for Chad, but I heard everything secondhand. The fact that it wasn't shut down last year with Chad was amazing, because he was crazy, right?

And then the Corinne thing happened, and to be honest with you, dude, I'm sorry, but she came there with a boyfriend. It was so contrived. I hated it, and I was annoyed. And I was like, let's think about this. Let's just take a step back in terms of your casting process. You brought

in Chad and you brought in Corinne because you thought that's what the people wanted. And then you brought in Evan to Aegon Chad and you brought in Taylor to Aegon Corinne because that was their counterpart on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. And guess who came out of the franchise in realistic, really amazing, beautiful relationships

that everyone now uses as the one thing that- Wells is on his soapbox right now. But you're not wrong. You're totally right. Because you got Jade and Tanner, and then you got Evan and Carly, and now you got Derek and Taylor. You know? Just cast normal human beings.

Because Evan, for all of his weirdness, he's a totally normal human being. Well, for sure. And I think obviously cast people with good personalities who are comfortable on camera. There's a lot of things you can do to make sure that the episodes are going to be entertaining and you don't want to cast a whole group of people

that feel awkward on camera. But at the same time like you're right like it's like casting. I just feel like casting like the girl next door and the guy you know the nerdy Seth Cohen guy like that's relatable because that's most of America that's watching and they're like they're just

like me. Yeah. And they like that. The irony of that is just really funny to me. Evan was never supposed to be there a week. Yeah. And they like that. The irony of that is just really funny to me. Evan was never supposed to be there a week. Totally. Because everyone thought he was such a weirdo, you know. And I think, same with Taylor. Taylor came to me before the show, because we were friends, and she asked if she should do it, and I was like,

do not do this show. Wow. Don't do it. And I was not the only one. And thank God she did. I know. Yeah. So, coming up a little bit later, we're going to have Danielle on the show. We've talked for like an hour about nothing. I know. That's anything favorite of anybody's.

I know. We're so bad at doing this show. We really are. Love us anyway. All right. Let's just talk about our favorite thing. What do you want to talk about? My new purse that looks like a stuffed animal.

It does look like a puppy. It's faux fur, guys. Don't worry. I paid like $40 for it, but it's so soft. I just couldn't help it. I felt it earlier. It's so great. Who makes it?

Topshop. Topshop? Topshop. One of my new favorite things. Is it? My bag. Yeah. There it is.

Can we talk about death days real quick? What is that? Is this about that movie? No, no, no. Okay. It was a couple days ago that it was like the eighth anniversary of Patrick Swayze's death. Okay. And so when I was getting ready for one of my radio shows, that's one of the headlines.

It was like, today is National Eat-a-Hoagie Day. And then also, Patrick Swayze died eight years ago. That's weird. We do it every year for Elvis Presley, right? Right. For really big stars. I think it's so freaking weird that we do that. Why are we celebrating the day that they died?

Right. You should celebrate the day that they were born. That right there, yeah. Because the death day thing is kind of like- It's a little morbid. This is an important day. Write it down. This is the day that we no longer have to deal with this person.

You're right. That's weird. You're right. That's not great. Also, the fact that it's Patrick Swayze, a guy who's famous for being a ghost in a movie. Yes, I guess it's one thing with Elvis Presley. Yeah. Or like Johnny Cash.

Well, the Elvis Presley thing is kind of messed up because I don't know if you've ever heard the stories is that like he died like eating like a bucket of chicken on the toilet. Like something crazy. Yeah, something crazy. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. It's weird.

favorite thing. Do it. That's how I want to go out, by the way. I totally thought death day meant, like, isn't there a movie coming out or something that's about your death day? Yeah, no, uh, Flatline. Flatliner. Yeah, Flatliners. It's funny because I watch, it's, okay, so, I used, I don't really do it hardly ever

anymore, but I used to audition a lot because I wanted to act, and I would read for things and audition for things that six years later were in theaters. You know what I mean? So every now and then something would come out that five years ago I read for, and I think Flatliners was one of them. Really?

Because I was watching it and I was like, this sounds way too familiar for me to have just seen this for the first time. So I feel like I read for that movie. I read for a lot of horror movies and stuff like that. I still haven't seen the horror movie that you were in. I mean, you only have to watch 30 minutes of it. What is it called again?

Old 37. Oh, man. It was so much fun to make. I got special effects, makeup, like, road gashes on my face that they did and, like, really cool stuff, yeah. Dude, that's so cool. So, did you have someone that would be like like all right these four scripts are pretty good look at them and do you have i wasn't that cool um most of the things i mean i had an agent in la and like you

just get auditions through that or whatever but this one specifically um was really cool because uh as actually my band's publicist um she her i I guess they weren't married at the time, but her now husband wrote this script, this horror movie script. And at first she was just like, well, you read it, I just want to know what you think, because she knows my mom's a movie producer and all that. And so I was like, yeah, I would love to,

and I read it, and I was like, this is actually really good, and like really original. And she was like, I'm so glad you love it. Would you want to be in it? And I was like, really? You want me to be in this? And she was like, yeah,

any role that you feel like you'd want, let us know, and we would love to have you love it? Would you want to be in it? And I was like, really? And she was like, yeah, any role that you feel like you'd want, let us know and we would love to have you in it. It was an independent movie. Self-funded and all that. I was super excited and it was the first feature film role I'd gotten and it was super fun. Have you ever done another one since then?

Not a film, no. This weekend I got to go out to LA. It's the American Humane Association Award Ceremony. Oh, that's exciting. And so they asked me to be like a presenter or something. Yeah, how'd you get that? That's cool. And it's on Hallmark Channel, I guess.

Oh. They hit me up and they were like, dude, you do all this stuff with dogs and whatnot. That's great. So like, will you come out there? So I was like, yeah, of course. So I'm going out there this weekend for this. I'm super pumped and whatnot. That's great. So like will you come out there? So I was like yeah of course. So I'm going out there this weekend for this. I'm super pumped about it. That sounds really fun. But they sent me the script of what I'm

supposed to read. So this is the first time I've ever like been like Really? Like sent out on a stage and been like. You never read a teleprompter? Never. What? I have in like when I was in college and did like the news and the weather and sports. Yeah. But never for like. It's really easy. And I always but I was in college and did the news and the weather and sports. Yeah.

But never for like- It's really easy. But I always wrote it. Right? Yeah. Well, you can edit. Can you? You can say, oh, yeah.

They don't tell you you can, but you totally can. I got a couple jokes I want to throw in there. Oh, God. I don't know. Maybe you should tell me what those are first. Okay. So here. One joke.

One joke. Okay. So they told me I got are first. Okay, so here. One joke. One joke. Okay. So they told me I got to wear a suit, right? And I don't wear a suit. You know me. I can't picture you in a suit. Yeah, right? So I was thinking, like, I'd say something like, oh, man, like, last time I was wearing

this suit, it got dumped in Argentina on national television. I feel like you've used that one before several times, Wells. Have you been to something where I've used it? It's always like, oh, yeah, that time I got dumped in Argentina. I know. That time, yeah. Okay, so no good. I don't know.

It's lame? Maybe you need something new. All right. P.S., once you told me that you helped Derek with his speech, I heard the Wells jokes in there. I was like, that was Wells, that was Wells. For sure. I love that. All right, let's do some Your Favorite Thing podcasting right now.

Okay. I have a question. Now I'm distracted. Yes, please ask me questions. I love being asked questions. Who is your favorite celebrity? And not like a celebrity that you'd want to date. Okay.

Who is one of your, no, like who you think you would be friends with. Friends? Or like you really want to be friends with them. Oh. I just want to hang out with the entire Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team. I think they seem like so much fun. Do they? Yeah.

Do you like follow them on Instagram? Yeah, Snapchat and stuff. Really? Yes, yes. So they actually have a podcast called Road Trippin' I may or may not listen to. Do they? Yeah. Do you follow them on Instagram? Yeah, Snapchat and stuff. Really? Yes, yes. They actually have a podcast called Road Trippin' I may or may not listen to. Really? Yeah.

Are you promoting another podcast on our podcast right now? I'm sorry. It's really different than ours. Anyway, it's great. They seem fun. Who else? I don't know. I'm really bad at this.

For example, for me- Yeah, give me one. Let's hear it. I really want to be friends with Jason Sudeikis and his wife, Olivia. I could see that. They just seem- Super cool. So funny.

Yeah. And cool. I think Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis seem amazing. But here's the thing. I was talking to someone about this the other day, and it would be really fun to hang out with Mila Kunis. Yeah. Mainly because every time she said something stupid, you could just be like, shut up, Meg. I have a feeling y'all wouldn't be friends long if you said that.

You think so? I think it would get a little. It's probably annoying for her. Definitely. But I would get. You might get away with it once or twice, but that's probably it. Yeah. Shut up, Meg. I think so. Yeah, who else? Ooh, ooh, ooh.

John Krasinski. I'm obsessed with him. From The Office? Do you think that John Krasinski looks like Derek? That's what everyone says. Not really, no. That's what everyone says. I know, but I don't really see that. No? No. For whatever reason, I feel like me and Mark Ruffalo would be like good buds. I'm obsessed with him, I feel like me and Mark Ruffalo would be like good buds.

I'm obsessed with him. I would totes date Mark Ruffalo. You would? Yeah. He's a little older though. That's okay. I'm okay with it. He's hot. I'd like him a lot. I do too. And he's like a little bit like more outspoken about politics and stuff. I'm okay with that. Okay. But I still think that we would be like really good friends.

Interesting. I don't know why. I'm down. I want to hang out with him. I know. Yeah. Do you think Jack White is intimidating in person or cool in person? A little bit of both. Yeah. He definitely is super laid back.

I see him out at restaurants all the time and stuff, and he's definitely really laid back and chill, and I've seen people go up to him, and he's fine. But I guess it's just because I'm a fan of his, and I think he's just so incredible that I am intimidated by him. Like I would never go up to him and just start talking to him. But I think if I did that he would be really, really cool. I've only talked to him one time. And can I tell you what I did? You're fangirling. I totally fangirled. So I was, this is when I lived in Hillsborough Village. Okay. And

for everyone that's not in Nashville, it's just kind of a place really close to Vanderbilt. Yeah. And there's a really cool park called the Dragon Park. Anyway, so I was running. I was working out, and I had my iPod Nano on. Okay, running and working out are two different things. No, they're not. They're the same thing. You were running. I was running,

but that's working out. No. That's exercising. That's exercising. I feel like that's different than working out. So is working out for you like you have to lift weights? I think so, yeah. That's exercising. That's exercising. I feel like that's different than working out. So is working out for you like you have to lift weights? I think so, yeah. Really?

Yeah. Then I have never worked out in my life. Never. Not once? Look at this. You've never lifted a weight? I have.

Okay, I knew that couldn't have been true. Okay, sorry, we got distracted. I got distracted. So I was exercising. Yeah. I was running through the park, right? And I had my iPod Nano on and I think I was listening to the Rack on Tours, right?

Which is like one of Jack White's side projects. He did with a guy named Brendan Benson. And you saw him. And he was in the Dragon Park playing guitar. What? With another guy. How long ago was this? Years ago.

Okay. I mean, this was probably 2008. Okay, that's pretty crazy. Yeah, that's nuts. And so I see him. And I'm like. Oh, he's reenacting. Hold on.

Let me get this on video so that people can see. All right, let's hear it. Let's see it. All right, so I'm running. Yeah. And I'm listening to Rack on Tour steady as she goes. And then I see Jack White over there. And I go, hey, Jack, I'm listening to you right now.

Oh, my gosh. All right, see you. I kept going. And he was like, okay, hey, thanks. So, yeah, technically you talked to him, but you didn't talk back. I know, but I thought it was so cool. You didn't give him time. I know.

That is hilarious. Oh, my God. That's great. I wonder if Jack White and I would be friends. I think that Dave Grohl and I would be friends. I know him. You do? His daughter leased our pony in California for a couple years for his daughter.

Noah's pony. Isn't that funny? So, like, my mom would send me, like, photos of her chilling at the bar with Dave Grohl, like, watching the kids ride. She's like, look at me. I'm hanging with Dave Grohl. And I'm like, mom, stop taking photos of you. That's creepy.

Did your mom say he's like the coolest dude in the world? Oh, she's obsessed. Like, low-key, like, obsessed. I was thinking about this in terms of music. Like, for whatever reason, it's really hard to continue to make relevant music, and I don't know what it is. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that your life changes so

much when you're young and poor and hungry. The songs that you write, the passion that you play with is completely different from when you make it, and then all of a sudden you can't relate to those people that you were originally singing to

because you're no longer one of them anymore. But for whatever reason, Dave Grohl is one of those guys that's been able to continually stay cool and relevant. Yeah. You know? He has, yeah. I'm sorry, like Coldplay? That's not cool anymore to me, you know?

I know. For whatever reason. I still love them, but you're right. It's a million of those bands. You're just like, I'm over it. Working with the Chainsmokers, I'm like, meh. Yeah, I get it. You're trying to be cool again.

Yeah, you're right. But yeah, Dave Grohl's just always done his thing. And you know why I think it is? I've interviewed more musicians than probably anybody you've ever met. And there's three types of musician. Okay. There's more, but this is how I've whittled it down. Okay.

There's the musician that is so into the music and the art. Totally. That like there's no sense of humor about what's happening. Oh, yeah. Okay. Then you have. It's like a music snob. Yes.

Yeah, yeah. And you're just like, and they're like awkward. But like you're wondering like, is this awkwardness like contrived snob. Yes. And they're like awkward. But you're wondering, is this awkwardness contrived? Right. Or are you really like this? Then there's the real introvert, like the Ray LaMontains or even the Kurt Cobains. They've got an issue and you kind of give them a pass for it. And then there's the guy that loves the music, but doesn't take it too seriously, and is

always funny in that interview. And everyone wants him to come back, because he doesn't make everything better. Yeah. And Dave Grohl's that guy. Yeah, totally. Like, every music video he's ever done, it's been hilarious, you know? Yeah. For whatever reason, he's continued to stay relevant and funny, and that's why the Foo

Fighters are selling out Bridgestone Arena. So crazy. I don't know. I went off on a really long rant there. You did, but it's okay. I liked it. It was a valid point. Yeah. I'll let him know next time I see him. Tell him! You know, next week we're going to be in Vegas for the iHeartFest.

Why don't we do next week's episode there? How do we do that? I can get some stuff. You can? I work for the largest... Why didn't you do next week's episode there? How do we do that? I can get some stuff. You can? I work for the largest- Why didn't you tell me this? We need to write off a trip somewhere really rad and do podcasts there. Totally, but we're going to be there. Miley and Noah is going to be there.

Hold on. Let's just look at the freaking lineup. Oh, you've got it. I've got it right here. Okay, so you've got Pink, Harry Styles, Coldplay. Ooh, not Coldplay. We already talked trash about them. I would love to get Harry Styles. I have lots of questions for him. Chris Stapleton?

The Weeknd? Wait, hold on. Did you see that Selena Gomez is getting a new kidney or something? Well, I think she already got it and just now told everybody. And it's funny because I know the girl that gave her a kidney. I had no idea that was happening. I mean, I don't know her well, but she was on a TV show with my old roommate in LA Her name is Francia

And yeah, she's friends with Selena and Francia Francia I just, my mind is blown that like Francia, who I haven't seen in years But like, is friends with Selena and gave her a kidney Like, it just blew my mind when I read that So, I didn't even know they were that good of friends I just got a voice message from Danielle

I want to play it I didn't even know they were that good of friends. I just got a voice message from Danielle. Hold on, play it. I was running about like 10 minutes late. I've had this really bad headache. I've been trying to nap off all day, but I'll be there soon. I'm sorry I'm late. She's the sweetest. What's your favorite app on your phone?

You're getting all the dings today. My favorite app on my phone? Yeah. Well, I keep all my faves on the front page. Obviously, Insta is probably what I hit the most. Yeah. Also, the NBA app during NBA season. I love how much of an NBA dork you are.

I really am. That's up there. Class Pass. I use Class Pass. What the hell is that? Oh, that's like go work out. Yeah. So I'm on that That's up there. Class Pass. I use Class Pass. What the hell is that? Oh, that's like go work out. Yeah.

So I'm on that pretty much every day. Exercise. You guys, I can't tell you how much I use the weather app. I am a weather nerd. The weather channel or the one that comes with the phone? I have the Yahoo app. Ooh, I don't even know that one. Yahoo weather. I mean, I always say my reasoning is because I need to know whether my horse ever can go

outside or not. If it's raining or storming, she can't go. If it's too cold, she needs this blanket, if it's colder, she needs this one. So that's kind of my justification. But I actually just nerd out on the weather so much. When I was a kid, apparently my parents tell me, I used to sit and just watch the Weather Channel for hours on end.

They thought I would legitimately grow up to be a meteorologist. Do you want to give Jim Cantore an H-J at some point in your life? No, I do not, actually. Do you know who I'm talking about? No, but if he's some like old, geesy weatherman, the answer is no. No, he's like the most famous weather guy. He is? Yes.

Show me a pic. How come you don't know Jim? I don't have cable. Don't yell at me. Also, so I have been going out every Wednesday night with a group of girls. Yes, okay, hold on. He is not hot at all in any way, shape, or form. Oh, my God.

I hope that Jim Cantore doesn't listen to our podcast. He is not good looking. No, no, no, no, no. Look at this picture with his pecs. He is old enough to be my dad. How old is he? I don't know, but he's just a famous weatherman. He always goes to the crazy places,

and he's always getting blown over by the wind. Anyways, I actually did want to talk to you about this. Why? Because you feel not included? Evan also feels not included. Does he? He said, where's my invite? And then I think he realized what GNO meant and he was like, oh, JK.

Okay. I don't know what that means either. Girls Night Out. Okay. My sister has a song called GNO. Really? Yeah. Which sister?

Miley. It was on her first record, like Disney time. I think secretly, you want to be a part of Bachelor Nation. I do, but I would never go on the show. No, I know.

I think you're getting to reap all the benefits without actually having to go on the show. I know. It's great. Just so you know, the other day, I'm looking through Instagram, and I see that Brandy is with Olivia and Scallops.

And was anybody else there? Well, my friends Kat and Sarah have become part of our little group too. So it's great. What the fuck? They're rad. What do you mean? I know. Why didn't I get invited?

Because you're a boy. And we did invite. You came last week. I did come last week. To Taco Tuesday with Olivia's mom, which was hilarious. Yeah. I came last week. I did come last week.

To Taco Tuesday with Olivia's mom, which was hilarious. Yeah. But, no, it was actually, like, it's actually funny because watching their seasons or whatever, like, watching them on TV, I would never in a million years think, like, oh, yeah, that's the kind of person I would be friends with. Yeah. And it just goes to show you that how people are portrayed on TV is sometimes not at all who they really are. Yeah.

Olivia always jokes, and she's like, I wish I could go back in your Twitter feed and see what you really said about me on my season, because I'm sure I would have said some negative things. And I'm like, but it's funny, because we do get along so well. And even Kristen, like, Kristen's super cool. We actually have a lot in common, and she grew up in, like,

I think a small town in the Midwest, so she's very conservative and, you know, grew up in the church and, like, similar to me, too. So it's just funny, but Olivia, we all, I posted the photo first, and they all posted the same photo I posted, which is so annoying. Get your own photo.

At least they posted the one that I looked the best in, because that's the one I posted. So I'm fine with it, but Olivia said this really sweet thing. I'm going to read it. She said, friends are so cool, like a bunch of people who didn't know each other met, and then we met their friends, and now we're all together, and we are so different in every

way, and have different backgrounds, and grew up in different places, but we all ended up in Nashville and gathered at a dinner table every week and laugh hysterically and then take a photo in front of a chic brick wall, which is so true. But that's so cool and so true, that we all are so different, and even just looking at the photo, the way we dress and stuff, it's so many different personalities. And we all get along. And we had a great time. You're welcome. Okay. Did I not like... I would have met them anyway. Let's be

real. I don't know. I think so. I think Olivia would have had me on her podcast without you because we did that People Now thing. That's how I met Olivia, really. Yeah, but then we all... I went out one night and I ran into you. But Olivia and I had already planned on the podcast. Oh, really?

Yeah. So, but all that to say, yeah, it is funny that I like, and people don't expect it at all. They like see pictures, even pictures of me and you. People are like, wait, what? Yeah. Random. And I'm like, not random. Not really.

No different years. Nashville's this big. God, speaking of friends, man. Okay, so I'm going to get real with it right now. I'm feeling pretty bad, okay? Why? So a girl that I was dating maybe like six months ago or whatever. You were dating somebody six months ago?

I was. We broke up. Why so secretive? It wasn't secretive. I didn't know. Whatever, okay. Maybe this is part of the problem. I was thinking yes. No, but like so I

brought her into my inner circle of friends. Like my really tight inner circle of friends. I was driving by their house the other day. She was there. And I saw her pull up and I was like, oh, well they must be having a party. And I was just like, oh, I'll wait to get invited. And then I didn't. And then she had texted me later, and she was like,

was that you riding your motorcycle past me today? And I was like, yeah, I saw you. And she's like, I was surprised you didn't come to the party. And I was like, well, no one invited me. And then it was one of my buddy's birthdays the other day, and everyone was posting about the party. And you again didn't get invited? And I didn't get invited.

What? So I think I just got replaced. I got replaced. This is crazy. First of all, I What? So I think I just got replaced. I got replaced. This is crazy. First of all, I doubt that. I think I did. Is this like a guy's house or a girl's house? Guy's house.

Maybe he's into her. That's something that I've been thinking about. But I don't care. But this is going to change the topic a teeny bit. But this is funny because I have a lot of friends that get really, really butt hurt about the not getting invited thing. And I hate that because A, if I know my friends are hanging out, I just invite myself.

Like I'm the first person to be like, I'm coming over. So I don't have a problem with that. But also like. It's true. It's so true. I'll be like, well, so you're telling me I'm coming over. Oh, you're at a party? People I don't know, I'm coming over. I just do. I just invite myself everywhere, for worse or better. But also, like, in Nashville especially, just because it is so small and everyone knows

everybody, I think it's just this implied thing that when somebody makes a plan and it's like a word of mouth, like, come hang out thing, it's like you know that everyone's eventually just going to hear about it and come. And that's how I feel. So it's like, then, you know, this person was like, well, this person told me that this person and this person are coming to your house and I didn't get invited. I'm like, well, but if you heard about it, you're invited. I know what you're doing right now.

I'm so inclusive of everybody. Like one of my biggest pet peeves, I can't stand it when people leave other people out or don't include some people, but include others. Like I hate that crap. Yeah, it's mean girl crap. It's serious mean girl crap and I'm zero tolerance for it. What's happening to me right now, Brandy? So you need to just invite yourself. Just show up.

And if those people act weird then they're not your real friends, Wells. And you deserve better friends. Honestly, I think I'm overthinking it or maybe... He likes her, maybe. Well, like another guy in the group is... But I don't care about that.

They all should know that. But even if they know it, they're still sensitive to it. It's just like human nature to think that that's not okay. We're ingrained to think like, oh, they're going to be mad. Maybe so. Even if they're not. Maybe so. I don't know.

I don't know. I was reading this story. It was on Reddit. A guy who worked at McDonald's dropped some knowledge about how McDonald's might be shorting us on fries? No. This is what he wrote on Reddit. I worked at McDonald's and they taught me how to pinch the fry carton just right while putting the fries into them so it looked full. But it actually wasn't.

He said that only one customer ever called him out by shaking the fries in the bag and refilling the fry container itself to see it was only halfway filled. He admits to being impressed and embarrassed. No. Yeah. That's kind of silly, though. Fries are like, what, a dollar? Get over it. We're screwing you.

Also, America's issue is that portion sizes are too large, so you really should be thanking McDonald's because if you ate double the fries, you'd be double the fat. Do you want to know why this annoys me? Sure. It's because when you order the fries, I need to be able to take some of them and eat them. Okay? And if you're pinching the thing, I can't get in there. Who makes your favorite French fries?

Can I get a ding, please? McDonald's, really? You do need the bell. I need the bell. McDonald's, hands down. McDonald's, okay, yeah. McDonald's is good, although I am a sucker for curly fries. Ooh, jack-in-the-box then.

Ooh, do they have curly fries? Oh, my God. Arby's also has curly fries. Arby's is pretty good. Pretty good. And then you can make crazy different concoctions of sauces there. You know? Arby's is good.

Arby's is good. Only for fries. I don't eat roast beef. You know what I don't like, though? They're commercials. Yeah, they're fries. I don't eat roast beef. You know what I don't like? They're commercials. Yeah, they're sus. I don't like it. Well, it sounds like James Earl Jones.

I don't know if it is, but it's like, we have the meats. Ew. It's always like, a sandwich is like, we took out anything healthy. Oh my gosh. Here's bacon. It's disgusting. Honestly, I don't think you can pay me to eat that. That's why when your buddy walked in and was like,

oh, tell her the story about would you eat a dog or something, whatever that was. Would I eat a dog? Are you kidding me? I won't even eat anything. I won't eat pork chops or roast beef or anything like that. I won't touch ribs. Will you eat bacon?

Turkey bacon only. That's not. It is. Do you know what I love about turkey bacon? I can't eat a piggy. I love... You can't eat a piggy? I can't.

They're just so cute. But f*** a turkey. I don't care about that. Yeah, birds. I hate birds. I honestly despise them. They scare me. They're nasty, dirty.

They're something I'm like, I'm serious. I have this thing with the birds, and I'm like, I'm totally fine. What? You're scared of birds'm like, I'm totally fine. What? You're scared of birds? Yeah, I'm terrified. Wells is losing it right now, you guys. I don't know if you can see. They're flying rats. I don't like them. It's so scary. There's something

about how fast they move and their beaks. I just do not... I do not like. I'm terrified. That was one of the things living in California with all the pigeons. I can't even walk down the street without pigeons. I'm serious.

I hate them. Your least favorite thing is birds. There's a movie called Birds that somebody, some guy back in the day tried to force me to watch, and I think it scarred me. Also, when I was a small child, one of my neighbors had a bird that got out of its cage, and I just remember it flying in circles around the room. And I was so scared. I'm telling you, something scarred me as a kid. I hate them. But the fact that you hate them means that you should probably eat them. That's what I'm saying. That's why I'm fine eating birds and turkeys

and chickens and all that. I just love turkey bacon. I love turkey bacon because they try to cut it to make it look like normal bacon. It's like, you're not fooling me. Just because it's got a bibbed outside. I think it's just as good if not better. Alright, Danielle's here.

Go get her. I'm going to go get her. Are you ready for this? Y'all ran in from the ass. Bam, bam, bam. Na, na, na, na, na, na, na. When I was a cheerleader, that was always the song we did our dance competitions to. Are you going to keep doing this while I go get her? Mm-mm.

Okay. Okay. Danielle Maltby on the Your Favorite Thing podcast. Hey, what's up? How are you? I'm great. How are you? Good.

Have you listened to this podcast before? I'm not a podcast person. It's fine. I'm trying. I'm trying. Like, I want to be. Do you? It's hard.

I try to listen to some. The only one I can really listen to is that NBA one I was telling you about. But it's tough because I'm never in one spot for more than 30 minutes, and a lot of them are really long, so it's hard for me to get through them all. I mean, maybe if I was on a drive up to Wisconsin or something. There you go. Yeah. That's when you got to do it.

By the way, can we make note that Danielle looks fantastic right now? She's done. Doesn't she look like Penny Lane from Almost Famous? I was channeling Penny Lane. I'm taped in though. She got in the garage and she's like, don't worry, I'm taped in. Oh my gosh, that's amazing.

And when you said it, I was like, I don't know what that means. And now I understand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a guy's thing. For sure. I know. I just can't pull off that whole bohemian gypsy thing. Yes, you can. I look so silly when I do that. I've tried.

No, I feel like the first time I met you, you had this really beautiful white bohemian dress on. Did I? Yeah. Where were we? It was at the A-Max. It was something for A-Max. Oh, A-Max.

Yeah, it was years ago. That had been a while ago. Yeah, but I was like, I really wanted that dress. I wish I knew which one it was. I'd give it to you if I still had it. Because Lord knows I don't wear it anymore. I literally, I just like, I just dress like a boy. It's like my, it's the only thing I can do.

I love dressing like a boy. Yeah, it's just so comfy. The bigger the sweatshirt, the comfier the pants. But you've got like a definite style, Brandy. You think? You definitely have. What's my style, Wals? Badass chick.

Okay, so I was watching something, I was watching something the other day and it was like I'm going to butcher what it was really called. It was like the ghetto runway or something like that. And that's me? No, but it was like a red carpet. It was a red carpet thing for fashion week but it was like outside and it was

like all famous rappers and and when I someone was like, famous rappers. Sounds cool. Because someone was like, oh my God, there's like so-and-so and like, man, that's awesome, whatever. They were doing that thing that like E! Entertainment Night does. You can't talk about fashion at all. I can't. You have no clue what you're doing.

That person's wearing a shirt and that person's wearing a bad jacket. That's a great jacket. Anyways, but I was watching it and I was like that is totally Brandy style. Because they were doing the things that you do, which is like cool hoodie cut off in the midriff.

And then cool white tennis shoes that have a big heel or something. The platform. Yes. And I was like that's freaking Brandy right there. Yeah. See, the platform sneaker is my go-to because I can't walk in heels very well, but I like

the height, so the platform sneaker is good. Yeah. But I feel like guys, and specifically the guys I usually am attracted to, like girly girls and girls that wear dresses and heels and flowy hair, and I'm like, ugh, and I dress like a boy, and they probably don't think it's very cute. I don't know if that's true. I was reading, where is the study? Here it is.

I wanted to read this to you guys and get your take on it, because I thought it was kind of interesting. So the study finds that there's a better chance that a relationship will work out if an attractive woman is paired with a less attractive man than vice versa. In couples where the women were more attractive than the man, the guys tended to compensate with presence, act of kindness, and more sex. And when the guys were more attractive, women felt more pressure, causing them to obsess about their diet, exercise, making them less happy.

I definitely agree with this. I have a policy, actually, that I only date down. I cannot wait for your next boyfriend, and I'm not playing this clip over and over and over again. Listen, I think you should date down just a hair, because then they'll always be afraid they're going to lose you, so they'll never let you go. Here's a little caveat to that. I have seen some of the most beautiful couples make some really not-so-cute babies. The couples that are more

I don't want to say ugly, but not so attractive, they make the most beautiful kids and babies. Yeah, I don't think you're wrong about that. This is the neonatal nurse over here that's more for the marriage, she's worried about the kids and not about the actual marriage. Yeah.

Like, don't worry. If you don't feel like you're that attractive, you'll make some really beautiful babies. Well, her motivation is much more pure than mine. Mine is I just don't want to get left. Yeah, that's true. He'll never leave me if he thinks he's not as good as me. I'm serious, though. Okay, so the last guy that I was even sort of talking to, I'm not going to say his name,

but Wells knows who it is. Every time I was even around him, I remember thinking, like, I have serious though. Okay, so the last guy that I was even sort of talking to, I'm not going to say his name, but Wells knows who it is. Every time I was even around him, I remember thinking, I have no business being with somebody this good looking. This is not for me. Oh, girl. Because I just constantly am like, there's too many pretty girls around. I can't deal with this. I would rather be with somebody that's just a hair lower on the scale of looks than me

so that he's always like, yes, I can never let her go. I'll never do better. She's awesome. She's everything. And I've always got him. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I think the perfect scenario

is both people in the relationship thinking the other's better looking than them. Yes, exactly. That's probably true. So everyone's constantly striving. I gotta tighten up the abs because her ass looks great this week. Yeah. You week. Yeah.

You know? Yeah. Yeah. How do you find that, though? You don't know. It's okay. You go on a reality dating show. I don't think that's how you do it.

No? No. Which brings us to the interview. Let's ask the experts on dating on reality TV whether that works or not. I want to ask you a question, Danielle. Yes. Were you annoyed that they cut your telling of what happened to us after the show from the reunion show? Yeah, I was annoyed.

I'm like, well, then I feel like, did I not do a good job explaining it? I don't know. No, you just weren't enough of a train wreck for them. I think that do a good job explaining it? Like, I don't know. I just. No, you just weren't enough of a train wreck for them. I think that's a good thing. Yeah. Because everything else I saw on that episode was such a train wreck. We talked about it earlier in the episode, but Harrison sent that tweet. I don't think he likes me.

What? Everyone likes you, Danielle. Yeah. But, like, he's never, like, why? Nah, I don't know. I just get, like, these vibes from him that he's maybe not

a big fan of me. What? And I don't know if it's because I'm not good TV or what. I don't know. But how much does he, I don't know anything about him.

He doesn't interact with me that much. How much does he really care about, how invested is he in making a great TV show? I feel like his job is to show up, say his lines,

and, like, that's it. Or does he really, does he really get in on the whole production of it? I think he is a producer of the show. I feel like his job is to show up, say his lines, and that's it. Or does he really get in on the whole production of it? I think he is a producer of the show at this point now. Maybe that's just in name only. But yeah, is he an executive producer? Because that means he don't do anything. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, obviously

I spent a good amount of time backstage doing air quotes right now with him. And it's a lot of him just being like, is it my time to go say the thing I gotta go say? Yeah, that's what I would think. But he is the mouthpiece of the show, right? So if he tweets out something like that,

that's gospel in the world of Bachelor Nation. I think they need a female when Chris is done. You know what I think? I think they should have a female for the Bachelor. Oh yeah. Or for the Bachelor et. And they should have a male for the Bachelor. Oh, yeah. Or for the bachelorette. And they should have a male for the bachelor. Uh-huh.

Or maybe reversed. Oh, yeah. Because then it's like, if I did the bachelor, then the girls would confide in me or whatever. Maybe so, yeah. And that makes a little bit more sense. And then the guys have a mentor type thing.

But also, adversely, if you were one of the 26 girls and I was the host and someone was freaking out I'd be like let's talk about this and I'll put it in terms of what the guy's thinking for you. That's a good point too. Maybe we should just do it together.

I know. Hey, welcome to The Bachelorette Your Favorite Thing Episode 1A. Going back to the Harrison tweet. Okay, so what I said was that I was annoyed by, because what he said was

it was confusing and unsatisfying. Yeah. And what annoyed me about that was what they didn't like about it was the fact that it wasn't black and white and cut and dry. Yeah. You know?

And they want there to be like... Yes, we're together. No, we're not. Yeah. And that's not the answer, you know? Yeah. And so I think that... I ended up tweeting something funny,

but I wanted to tweet back something... I did. It was a good tweet. I wanted to tweet back something sharp and be like, I'm sorry, man, that this was a totally normal response to a very weird situation that we were put in, you know?

Yeah. So anyways, here we are. How many interviews have you turned down to talk about this? A lot. Everyone wants to know. I think we broke the internet that day. Yeah. When it happened, this is kind of funny, did you think it was going to be as big of a thing as it turned out to be?

No, I had no idea. Me neither. No, people were like, I believe in love again because Danielle and Wells found each other on The Bachelor. And I'm like, we've been living in the same town. We've been friends for years. We didn't just find each other. I know. Yeah, exactly.

But it's like that romance idea of hope for love. Yeah. that romance idea of like hope it for like for love yeah I remember someone after like a producer telling me afterwards being like dude you guys just had a Jim and Pam moment and I was like what we had like an office moment where it was like something that so many this is where I think that we didn't realize what was happening there were so many people around us that was like hoping it was going to happen yeah and then when it when it did, everyone freaking lost it. Yeah. But I in the moment didn't think of, I mean, it was a great kiss.

It was a really good kiss. It was a good kiss. Well, this is a really good kisser. Wait, so hold on. Everything I know is untrue. I do remember, I remember Elan coming down and being like, dude, that was f***ing hot. And I was like, really? Really?

Because I remember, because I was like, God, she's my friend, you know? Like, we've been friends for so long. Yeah. The one thing I was so nervous about was it was going to look really awkward. Actually, one thing I was nervous about was you were going to be like, whoa!

You were going to be like, whoa, buddy, what you doing? Yeah. That would have been really funny. I would have loved that. I know. Could you imagine? It was like, maybe like 10 minutes later, it poured you do? Yeah. That would've been really funny. I would've loved that. I know. Could you imagine, it was like, maybe like 10 minutes later,

it poured. Yeah. Oh. Could you imagine even more cinematic than this? That would've been incredible.

God, that would've been like Notebook. The Notebook. It would've been. Dang it. I would've redone it. If I had known that, I would've redone it.

Wait, let's do it again. Hey, guys, we gotta recut that. We can do better. That's insane. Ohone it. Wait, let's do it again. Guys, we got to recut that. We can do better. That's insane. Oh, man. Anyways, I guess we have to talk about it. I've had to turn down a lot of interviews as well.

Thank you, by the way, for coming on my podcast. Our podcast. Yeah, I know. You jerk. I know. Of all the outlets that she could have gone to to talk about this. But here's what I think. This makes the most sense.

Well, here's what I like about it is I like that you guys are together talking about it because so often, you know, one person will go on this interview and this person will go on that interview and like they kind of say something different. And so I think it's good that you guys are here to feed off of each other and have an actual conversation that everyone can listen to. Yeah, exactly. And I texted you earlier because I know that Ashley and Ben wanted you to be on their show. I know. I'm sorry, guys.

And I was like, no, I want you to do my show because I'm selfish. But also, it's like, it's also my story to tell, too. Well, our story. Yeah, exactly. It's not just Danielle's story. It's both of ours and it's something

that we had to live for like a month now. Yeah. And it's been a weird thing and I think one of the main things that freaked us both out about this thing

is that we didn't know what it was going to be like to have everyone so invested in us all of a sudden. Oh my God, even my parents. My dad's like,

so when are you bringing Wells up? You should bring him on up to the cabin. We can shoot guns and stuff. And I'm like, yeah, Dad, y'all could, but no, I'm not going to bring him on to the cabin. Oh my gosh. What you didn't see when they cut out

was Danielle's parents coming on stage. No. They were there? Oh my gosh. No. And they welcomed Wells into the family. Yes. I'm shook.

After you guys have your convo and explain, we have to do some favorite things with Danielle. Yes, we do. Yes. We have to actually do the show. But let's first. Yeah. Going back to it, I think that we didn't realize what it was going to be like to have Twitter be like, you guys now must date, like kiss again.

Make babies. Please tell us you're engaged. I'm like, we kissed once. One time. That's not how it works in real life, people. But I must say that I had thought about it for quite a while. All right? I had too.

Yes. I will say that. And it was a great kiss. It was. It was hot. It was a really good kiss. I was legit flustered in the car on the way back. I was like, I don't think I was a great kiss. It was. It was hot. It was a really good kiss. I was legit flustered in the car on the way back. I was like, I don't think I was expecting all that.

I've come a long way since not wanting to kiss JoJo. I can't even believe what I'm hearing. I know, right? Does it blow your mind? Shooketh, for real. I know. Shooketh, for real. She shooketh like a Polaroid picture.

Shooketh. Which you're not supposed to do. Okay, so since they cut out the part where Harrison asks you what's the deal with us, do you want to redo it? Sure. Okay. Yeah. I don't even remember what he said.

By the way, I was so annoyed that night that they put me in the stands. Here we go. Yeah, Miles was in the audience. It was just awkward. I was like, what am I doing here? I thought they were going to have us come up on stage and talk about it. So they just had Danielle come up and not you? No, they had me sit

where everyone else was sitting and Chris just yells from the stage and was like, so Danielle, what's the deal with you and Wells? I'm like, I mean, he's like way over there. Yeah, they should have brought you guys up to that couch to sit together like they do. That would have made way more sense. Well, and what was annoying about that, I saw on Twitter, a lot of people were like, Danielle didn't even acknowledge Wells was there or vice versa.

And that's not true at all. No. Like, obviously, like, in commercial breaks, we would, like, go and talk. And then when he asked you, first of all, they played the clip of us kissing. And then he asked you, right? Yeah. That happened. Yeah.

And we were going back and forth. I just think I laughed and I waved. I didn't speak. I said that you were a good kisser again and you were just like, yes. Yes. Yes, I did. Yeah. And I basically made Wells look like the best guy on the show that night.

And Harrison's like, not going to happen. Yeah. Like, Dean was raked over the coals. Yeah. Robbie was. Diggy. Diggy. And then there was this.

Canadian, what's his name? Daniel was the worst. What a freaking idiot. Just also like. Like, it's hard to look worse than Dean and Robbie, and he did. And Daniel took the cake. Well, and by the end of it, no one remembered that Dean was a bad guy. Yeah.

And also, I don't think I could fit into Daniel's suit that night. That thing was so tight. I was like, one wrong move, and he's going to, like, have a wardrobe malfunction. It was painted on. Yeah, I just didn't really understand why they brought him back this year. I mean, I don't think he's that funny. That's not my kind of humor. Lacey wanted him.

But I guess, yeah, Lacey wanted him. And having this whole talk and relationship. But the first day that he got onto the set, he was mean to her. He was like, yeah, I'm going to check out the other girls. Bye. That should have been her red flag right there. Yeah. I don't know.

He's just a weird guy dude. Yeah. She's weird too. Which is why it could have worked. Exactly. But I mean someone was saying that he was like sending her pictures of like engagement rings and stuff. Yes.

Like really like just like why would you even do that? Like the producers have like seen these messages. Oh my gosh. Yeah. But anyways yeah. We're distracted. I was so happy. By the end of the night I was so happy I wasn't on that freaking stage because every

guy on that stage looked like such a douche lord. Yeah. Yeah. Except for Adam and Derek. Yeah. Yeah. But they were on that stage because they came out separately. You're right.

So, anyways. So, Harrison asked you what's the deal with you and Wells and you say- It was something to the effect of if it's going to happen, it's not going to be because everyone is rooting for it or, like, putting pressure on it. Like, it's going to happen, like, organically. Yeah. We have not kissed again since we've been home. We're just, like, Wells is one of my best friends.

We've been, it's at least four years now. Yeah. Yeah. At least. Yeah. That's a while I don't want to lose that I know

he said that about you too before you walked in I know I guess that's the answer everyone's gonna be so upset that we're not we're not married

we're not engaged we're not engaged you're not coming up to the cabin to meet the parents not yet you're not impregnated no I'm not pregnant

that's good too that's good news here's I'll be the I'llnated. No, I'm not pregnant. That's good, too. That's good news. I'll be the person that says I'm not disappointed because I think it's much better to take things slow and let things happen naturally than to just feel things because you're pressured into it and it's what people want. And then you get swept up into it and you don't really know what you're feeling and then it ends badly. That hit me real. I had a lot of that. And I was like, wait, no, what, what am I feeling? I was so confused and so discombobulated and I was like, I'm acting like a crazy person

and I don't know what's going on. Well, yeah, cause we went to go get breakfast one day and to talk about it. Cause to be fair, like you were gone and then you came back and I feel like I saw you like one weekend and we hung out a lot. Yeah. And then we went and got biscuits and talked about it. It was one of those things where we were having a very serious conversation about like what the hell do we do now? Because all of a sudden everybody is telling us to be in this weird relationship and we don't really know what to do.

And I remember thinking it's not that big of a deal. And then I remember right when we got up, the people sitting behind us were like, hey, can we get a picture? And I was like, holy crap, man. They were listening to our entire conversation. Oh no, that's the worst. About what we should do going forward

because it was like we've had this friendship for four years and it was like one of those things where it was just like, well, I got to go for it, you know. Or I might never get this opportunity again, you know. I was nervous about going out in public with you because everyone would be like, oh, my God. Picture, picture, picture. Reality Steve, reality Steve. It's a thing. And that is what pissed me off the most about this whole thing.

So I was like, hold on, that's not fair. We were friends and doing this for years. And now you're making it weird because of the show. That's not fair. No, not fair. So here's my whole thing on everything. And Brandy's filming this. You're such a normal human being.

And I think for the most part, I'm a normal human being. I think for the most part I'm a normal human being you are not but go ahead like can we just like be back in Nashville and be normal again yes and then just see what happens I applaud that decision is that okay

yeah I just want to get back to my life I want to get back to my work at the hospital and my volunteer stuff with LaWalla. And yeah. Yeah. And see what happens. I want my life back. Not the Twitter life that everyone wants.

No. Yeah. I think that's really smart of you guys. Yeah. Is this unsatisfactory? Not for me because what's unsatisfactory to me is to watch everyone go on television and say things they don't mean and live out these fairy tale scenarios that I don't believe is real and then it ends up in devastation. I don't like that. I would much rather see two very real people having a real relationship with realistic expectations or not or whatever and see what happens.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'm sure people are going to be very upset about this. Yeah, but they have to respect you guys as people. We're real people. That's why I think people like us.

Friendship is first. Yeah. I also think that's why people like us, though, is because I think that people see us as normal human beings. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I also think people are going to... I would like to think people are going to really love the fact that you guys care

so much about each other. Like, it's evident just sitting here with y'all and hearing y'all talk about each other like, you guys really care about each other. Yeah. And that's the basis of any kind of relationship. So you guys should just be pumped that they're such good friends. And, you know, and if something happens between them, great. And if they meet other people that

are better for them, great. And just be happy. Yeah. Because, like, we would be happy for each other. Yeah. Which is so cute. Yeah. And if all else fails, we'll just go back to Mexico next year and make out again. Wow. I have a feeling.

I don't think I'm good TV. I have a feeling. What are you talking about? Our moment was the best part of the whole show. Yeah. It was. I'm sorry. It was hands.

What was a better moment? Can you think of one? No. No. Well was. I'm sorry. It was hands. I don't. What was a better moment? Can you think of one? No. No. Well, I mean, like, Taylor and Derek getting engaged. That was pretty awesome. I love them to death, but they were so boring to watch on TV. They were a little boring.

They were a little boring. They didn't even air my reaction to that. Oh, I know. I was like, I'm like, Taylor's like my best friend. I know. I didn't even air, like, her, like, actual, like, best friend. And I'm like, I bruised Dean and Christina. I had, like, hands on, like, each of their legs. I was like, you're like her like actual like best friend. And I bruised Dean and Christina. I had like hands on like each of their legs.

I was like, what the hell is happening right now? And they didn't even show. Yeah, Dean had an idea that was happening. And I like hit him. I was like, did you know this was happening? What? What? I was so confused.

Isn't it funny that Taylor's your best friend from the show and Derek's mine? Or one of them? Yeah, I think that means they're both like really good people. Yeah Or one of them. That makes sense. It makes sense. You know that he proposed me the night before like 17 times in practicing, right? See, and I had no, no, and I had no idea. It all made sense because you were like,

no, I think Taylor and Derek will take the cuteness factor from the show. And I was like, yeah, but I think people really want to know what's up with us. And then after they proposed, I was like, yeah, but I think people really want to know what's up with us and then after they proposed I was like, I get it.

Yeah, they didn't care about us. I care. I'm glad you care. That's the thing, a lot of people did care. Yeah, they care. Yeah.

That was what was trending after the show was like, what the fuck happened between Wells and Danielle? Yeah, I got a lot of people

on my Instagram being like, you said you were going to talk about it and you didn't. You're a liar. I was like, I don't fucking care. I know. Calm down. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, I got a lot of people on my Instagram being like, you said you were going to talk about it and you didn't. You're a liar. I was like, I don't fucking like her. I know.

Calm down. Calm down, people. The accusations. Well, I look forward to being kept in the loop on what happens or doesn't happen with you guys. Sweet. You will be the first to know. Second will be Chris Harrison. Yes.

We're contractually obligated. Oh. No, I don't know. Danielle, let's talk about your favorite things. I love cookie dough. That is probably my absolute favorite thing in the world. Have you been to that place in town?

No Bake? I post mates it like once a week. They dropped some off for me today. Go get it! Did you eat it all? Go get it right now! eat it all? No. Go get it right now. I like talked to, or they posted something on Instagram.

I was like, I will love you forever if you bring some up to the Nikki for all the nurses tonight. And they never responded. I got really excited thinking that they did. I do love cookie dough. Yeah. It's so bomb. Yeah. Okay.

I'm going to go on record and say if someone doesn't like cookie dough, I can't be their friend Uh, yeah I don't trust you if you don't like cookie dough I mean, like, I'll trust you if, like, you can't eat cookie dough Fine, but you gotta at least admit that you like it Yeah Yeah Yes

Oh, that is a teeny little thing They didn't give you a full thing? That's enough for like a lick. That's all? We'll try it. Beggars can't be choosers over here, guys.

I thought they brought you like a whole thing. A whole thing? That's just asking for diabetes. Have you tried this? Yeah, I ate it today. Do you like it?

Yeah, I did. But I... Mmm. I went to the dentist today. I need to go to the dentist. I'm overdue. And so I go to the dentist and he's like, go to the dentist. I'm overdue. And so I go to the dentist and he's like, all right, you got some things that might be happening.

So like lay out the sugar. And then the first thing that happens when I get to work, it's like someone gives me freaking cookie dough. Question, have you ever had a root canal? No. I've had two. Good Lord. It is awful.

Can I just say that like the dentist, first of all, I have a lot of things to say about the dentist. I love going to the dentist. You do? I like it too. I love it. I love getting the laughing gas. Oh, well then.

It is so great. No, I just like getting my teeth cleaned. You do? I like it because I'm on laughing gas and I like to get the laughing gas and put my headphones on. And I like to spend days creating a playlist to listen to at the dentist and I get so into it. Oh, you can do it. That's awesome.

Every time I go, they talk to me and I'm like, oh, come on. That's why I bring my headphones on and like. Yeah, that's what, I mean like why are you talking to me with your fingers in them? Yeah. I can't say anything. No, you guys, it's going to change your life. Especially, you're such a music nerd. Make a playlist.

War on Drugs is great music to listen to. I know. That record is good. Altay is another one. Like when you're on Laughing Gas and it's an Alt-J, you are transported. It is everything. And I probably love it so much

because I've never done any other drug in my entire life, so I'm like, laughing gas is so great. Yeah, I love it. The dentist does nothing. What do you mean? The dental assistant does all the work. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The dentist just comes in with that freaking needle pick

and he's like, crack, crack, crack. Okay, there's that one's got a cavity. Crack, crack, crack. All right, see ya. I was like, what did you just do? First of all, you're going to the wrong dentist, because mine's the best. Okay. Her name's Dr. Wallace.

She does the entire Tennessee Titans team. She's so great. She's so funny. See, I feel like if she did the Preds, that would be a little bit more impressive. Maybe you're right. She's more impressive. Maybe you're right. She's the bomb, but you're right. They don't do it unless you get cavities and then they're the ones that do it. The dental assistant

comes in and does all the work and then the dentist comes in and he checks to see if there's any cavities in your teeth and then he leaves. That's it. The dental assistant is already like, hey, look at molar teeth two and four. Have you had a cavity? Yeah. So yeah it. But the dental assistant is already like, hey, look at molar teeth two and four. Have you had a cavity? Yeah.

So yeah, the dentist fills your cavity though. No, I know. But I just think when the teeth cleaning thing, like he just comes in and he's like, okay, you got one? Okay, bye. And I was like, what? Yeah. You got the easiest job ever. Do you think dental assistants are hot? Is that an okay question to ask right now? Because I have some guy friends that are like

Christina, she's really hot. Oh yeah, I forgot that's what she right now? Because I have some guy friends that are like... Look at Christina. She's really hot. Oh yeah, I forgot that's what she does. Yeah, I have a lot of guy friends that like consistently hit on the dental hygiene assistant person. You know, it's like a thing for them. If I was a dental hygiene assistant... Hygiene assistant. Hygiene assistant, whatever that's called.

Whatever. I would never want to make out with anybody. I know, right? Because I know how gross. Yeah, exactly. Do you think that's what gynecologists feel like? Oh, God, I can't even talk about that. My dad's a gynecologist. We should call him and ask him. Shut the heck up.

Yeah, you didn't know that? No. Yes. Can he be our guy? I have so many questions. Is this real? Yeah, 100%. Why did he want to do that?

Do you want to call him right now and see if he picks up? Yes. I feel like I wouldn't want to be the mom of a gynecologist. No. You see, I want to get him here in person and talk about things. Well, he's in California right now. Well, we're about to be in California. Hello?

Dad. Yep. Hey, it's Wells. Hey, Wells. How are you? I'm fine, Wells. You got a couple minutes? I got some serious questions to ask you.

Yeah, I've got more time than you need. All right. So right now, you're also on the phone with Brandi Cyrus and Danielle Maltby, and you're on our podcast, Your Favorite Thing Podcast. You just have people on. You don't have to pay, right? Yeah. Oh, wow.

It's so real. Hi. Hi. We were just talking about if we'd ever want to date a dental hygienist. And then we were saying that, well, it'd be hard to be a dental hygienist because you'd never want to kiss anyone because you'd see how gross everyone's mouth is every day. And then Brandy said, well, I wonder what gynecologists think. And I said, well, I know a guy. Yeah, it's dirty work, but somebody's got to do it.

Okay. I need to know. First of all, can I just say this is incredible that we're having this conversation right now. I need to meet your dad ASAP. We need to be homies. Okay. But I want to know, like, when, at what age did you decide that that's what you want to do, and why? Well, I was in med school, and I think this is true. One of the first things you get to do in med school that lets you be like a real doctor

is deliver a baby, and that's what I did my third year in med school. Isn't that the coolest thing ever? Well, I wish now I'd gone into radiology. So, okay. The truth comes out. Wait, why? I don't know.

What's the joke there? I'm sure you remember. I didn't spend a whole lot of time at home when the phone rang. I had to leave, you know, family events, and I had to leave the dinner table and stuff because I had to go to the hospital. Radiologists don't have to do that. That's a term. Do radiologists make as much money, though?

Oh, they make more. They do? Really? Yeah, well, they have to read, like, MRIs, CTs, x-rays, a whole... Okay, I have another question. How do you go from delivering babies to doing pap smears? Go ahead. Yeah, so you can't say, like, I only want to deliver babies.

That's not a thing. You got to do both. It's easier to do a pap smear than it is to deliver a baby. Oh, my gosh. That's very true. That's probably true. But is it as rewarding? Not in the least.

Wait, hold on. I want you to ask him the question that you wanted to initially ask. What was it? Which is, like, do you think differently about vaginas being a gynecologist? I don't think I had that question. I think that was a question in your mind that you wanted to put on us. But, yeah, let's ask it. Yeah.

So, is it different being a gynecologist? Are you grossed out by it? Are you more into it? Like, tell us. Randy, I had five children, so I apparently wasn't grossed out. So you're down. You're down. So what you're saying is, Wells should go to med school and become a gynecologist.

No, no. He has the benefits without the school. Whoa! Okay. Do you have any more questions for the resident gynecologist on the podcast right now? No, but I do, I want to meet him.

I want to meet your whole fam. I've met your, what, your sister and... Yeah, your sister's awesome. Did I meet your mom or no? I don't know if... Are we just Facebook friends? You're just Facebook friends.

I did meet your sister though. Yeah. Pro or con, Wells being the bachelor someday? Pro. I think, you know, Wells being the bachelor someday? Pro. I think, you know, at this stage of his life, he can make his own decisions. But everybody seems to want him to be the bachelor, but I'm not sure that's the best way to pick a wife. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. I don't disagree with that. Yeah, he's a smart man. I don't think I'm going to find my personal reality TV. No, me neither. All right, Dad, thank you so much for being on the Your Favorite Thing podcast. I appreciate it, and I'll be sending you a check for your appearance fee. Yeah, thank you.

It was nice to meet you. Yeah, Brandy's mom was more expensive than Dr. Bob, I think. Yeah, I think Wells paid her in weed, though. Mom was more expensive than Dr. Bob, I think. Yeah, I think Wells paid her in weed, though. That's very unusual. Another advocate for that. All right, Dad, thanks for taking the time.

All right, great to talk to you guys. Bye. Bye. Bye. Oh, my gosh. All right, there you go. Need to meet him someday. He's a very funny guy, but he's very dry, and he just doesn't give an F.

That's hilarious. I know. Danielle, thank you for coming on the podcast. Thanks for having me. Any last words, Danielle? Yeah, is there anything you want to say? No, I'm good. Any last favorites? Flares. I know, they look

so good on her. I'm so jealous. We gotta take a picture so people can see what she looks like right now. We have to. She's dressed so pretty and girly and boho and I am dressed like a boy. And Wells is in his typical silly slogan. Zara. Silly slogan

t-shirt that's not that funny. It's an outcast quote. He does have on better boots, though, this time. He usually wears these dorky loafers that Noah made fun of. And they have buckles. They're very preppy. Why does it? They're very unlike.

For such a hipster, you have some preppy tendencies. It's very strange. But it's like a hipster preppy. But isn't it strange? Like he'd wear a cardigan. Yeah. Where'd you go to school? You went somewhere real preppy, didn't you? Yeah, Ole Miss. Okay, that's what it is.

Listen, why are we doing my outfit thing every episode with my outfit? It's so easy. T-shirt, jeans, boots, cardigan, beanie. I'll tell you. Leather jacket. Leather jacket.

Hound dog. Yeah. Podcast over. Okay, love you guys. All right. Love you too. Love you, Danny. Love you, Brandy.

Danny. Love you guys. It's so cute. It's like when Jon Snow calls Panty. I'm dead. That was good. Yeah. Now is the time and wherever you are is the place. The Citadel makes it easier to earn your degree by offering master's degrees, graduate certificates,
