Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Did someone call a firefighter?

Episode Date: August 17, 2022

Hi class; today’s lesson is all about pickles. Wells, our resident pickle boy, has a lot to say about them. He also has lots of say about wedding planning, which at this point is just constantly putting out fires. But hey, that’s what life is when you’re a grown up, right? Wells also talks about (he’s got a lot on his mind these days, okay?) the bountiful lemon trees around his neighbourhood, being the son of a gynecologist, people from Bachelor Nation having assistants, and Carl’s seizures. Brandi chimes in when we get to the bach recap, and would like Nate to call her. Anyone got a connection there? Your hosts then share their fave things, and what they’re excited to watch in the fall. They go out on some f*ck you very muches, and someone calls Wells brainwashed—which leads him to share his newest alien theory. Enjoy!  Don’t forget to rate, review, and follow Your Favorite Podcast!

Do you guys think pickles are bad for you? Because I eat an extraordinary amount of pickles. I love them. I just chomp on pickles. Probably high in sodium. Probably not good for the sodium levels. But your boy's a pickle boy. All right. And I also like to play pickleball. And I

like when someone plays with my pickle. So I'm a pickle boy. I don't know. I don't know what any of that means, but we said it. How's everybody doing out there? Why have tears? You living? You should see my office. It's an absolute dumpster fire. A bomb has gone off in this fucking office because we're trying to plan a wedding.

And when that happens, everything goes to shit. Just so you know, if you're thinking about planning a wedding, just know that everything is going to go to shit. Okay? Because you're focusing on the party to not go to shit, but then everything else that normally that you'd focus on goes to shit. And then also, just know if you're putting on a wedding, just get used to putting out fires. That's all a wedding is. That's what

I've decided. That's what I found out. Planning one, helping plan one. You're just putting out fires constantly. Ring, ring, ring. Hello? Okay. Hold on. Let me get my hose. Let me get my extinguisher so I can put this one out. It's all it is. That's all life really is, actually, is just one big trying to put out the fire. It's tough because we didn't start the fire. You know, it was always burning since the world's been turning, okay? I tried to hide it, but I couldn't fight it. That's all life is. Planning a wedding is a fucking absolute nightmare.

It's always going to be this problem, and then there's this problem, and then someone calls and says they can't come, and then I need an extra plus one Oh cool cool cool what else any other problems we got a problem with the band oh my god the cake won't be there oh my god I don't know if we can get this ring shift in time don't know what's gonna happen we didn't start the fire we're just putting it out to try to get this wedding going we didn't start the fire okay so that's where my mental headspace is at right now that's pretty great though that's the best work i've ever done should we call the brand i or is that should

we just say that was the end of the episode? Cause that's not going to get better than what just happened. If we're being honest with each other, it's going to be a smooth decline down to mediocre ville. Let's call it the old brand and see what's haps. We didn't start the fire. Talk to me? No. There he is.

What are you drinking? I got a water with some fresh squeezed lemon juice and some cranberry juice in there. Oh. Hmm. I go on. I'm having some snacks. Oh, that's nice. What do you got?

You got some popcorn? Uh-huh. That's nice. This is my favorite popcorn. Well, that's nice. What do you got? You got some popcorn? Uh-huh. That's nice. This is my favorite popcorn. Oh, what does it say? Lesser Evil? Yeah. Have you ever had this stuff?

No. Lesser Evil. You can get it at Whole Foods. Miley turned me on to it, and it's my favorite popcorn. Wow. Sarah's a big Skinny Pop gal. It's similar to Skinny Pop, I think. Is it better or worse?

I like it better oh okay well maybe maybe get her a bag and see how she likes it i mean i don't know why can't we just have regular popcorn with butter because that's terrible for you yeah i know but this one says organic vegan good source of fiber less fat more fiber fewer calories i'm here for that. Yeah, back to my beverage. When I go on my run, this is how bountiful Los Angeles is. When I go on my runs, there's a couple houses that have lemon trees where the lemons just fall to the ground, and then I pick them up, and then I look like a crazy person running long distance with lemons in my hand. But then I bring them back to my house we got a juicer uh part of

the registry yeah so i've been juicing that shit up and a lot of fresh squeezed juices in my life well i love that for you you know you're not a fresh squeezed gal i i would think you just said juices like one too many times yeah you know? That's not fair that you sexualize a totally normal word. Who said it was sexualized besides you? But that's what you implied by... Did I? I think that's what you implied.

Sounds like you're implying it. No, I was happy saying the word juices and talking about fresh squeezed juices. And then you said, I'm uncomfortable with the amount of times that you said the word juice which makes it me think that you're thinking about discharge dude oh god that's such a great fucking word discharge have i ever told you about what it

was like growing up as a gynecologist son? We've talked about it once or twice and I think that's enough. Yeah. All right. Yeah. I heard some things at the dinner table when he was on call and he, he had a phone next to his seat so he could take calls while we were at dinner. And the things that I heard, I mean, I was fine with it. I became numb to the words that were said at the dinner table while he was talking to a patient. But my friends have,

I don't know if they will ever be able to forget some of the things that were said, which is fine. What you up to? Oh, just, you know, phone calls, emails, errands, just a casual Monday. You just putting out fires? Yeah, left and right. You know, it's just part, errands, just a casual Monday. Are you just putting out fires? Yeah, left and right.

You know, it's just part of being an adult, I feel like. I was talking to the YFTers before I called you saying that, like, if you're going to plan a wedding, just get ready. You're now a fireman because you're just putting out fires. You're just looking for hoses. You're looking for extinguishers, and you're just trying to put them out. And then I started thinking about it, and that's kind of like what life is, really. Absolutely. It's just where we are.

We're just putting it out. Constant. Got to get to the point where someone puts out the fire for you. Yeah. I need my own. Is that what an assistant is? I think so. I think you got to start making, add a couple more zeros to that income number every year,

and then you could have a firefighter on your uh on your on your roster there no the problem is that like you know i feel like sarah definitely is in the place where she could have an assistant but she doesn't have one and i'm crazy yeah i know because there'll be some people from like the bachelor of assistants i'm like you have a fucking assistant are you serious well you can't field your fucking tummy tea inquiries. You kidding me, guys? But you know, the problem with getting to the point where you have an assistant is that someone's always hanging around you. And I don't know if I'm ready for that. That's true.

You just got to deal with it. It's like someone's always in your business. Yeah. But unless they're out running errands for you or something. Yeah. But they eventually have to come over and like deliver said errands or like go over stuff. I just, I don't know if I need another person just hanging around the house. You're not wrong. I found something out about myself recently and I'm pretty excited about it. And it's one of my new favorite things. Okay.

I talked about it on my Instagram a little bit. I feel like Hummus has been like the popular girl in school for a while. And like everyone's been talking about her and like wanting to take her to prom, you know, and like deflower her on prom night and all that kind of stuff. And they're like super excited about it. And like Sabra's in there like making their fucking hummus and all this stuff. And we're all like kind of, you know, enamored with the hummus. And we're all just sleeping on the nerdy kid that's going to be hot in college and that's baba ganoush i don't know if you've gotten into baba ganoush can't say i have you

ever heard of it i heard about it on your instagram story yeah i mean let me tell you something it is fire bro it is the most fire of all the fires but here's the thing you make sure that it is the eggplant is charred a little bit before they make it because then it gives it kind of a smoky flavor but boy oh boy if you thought hummus was good uh this just in hummus is like the ugly sister of the hot chicken school which is the baba ganoush got it which is eggplant yeah so i think they bake the eggplant and then they kind of mix it up and i think there's some tahini that is also involved, which is in hummus. And then probably some olive oil.

And it is delicious. Got it. And I think it's nutritious, but I don't know. I think eggplants are good for you. This really has nothing to do with eggplant. Yeah. But it's a dip. And I didn't know anything about it until Miley got it when we were in Hawaii.

Have you ever had this? Garlic cashew and almond dip. No, but that looks fire. I like all those things. You don't even understand. I could drink it. I could drink the entire tub. And it's one of those things where you're like, oh, cashew and almond dip.

That sounds healthy. No. No, it's not. Definitely not. It is the most incredible dip I've ever had. I can't even eat hummus anymore because it can't compare to this. It's incredible. And I can't find it at Whole Foods. Big dip guy over here. Big dip guy. Dip's great.

Dip is great. You know, I tried to start a low calorie dip company back in the day. You did? you did well i wanted to with my sister and i went and bought the domain i uh i think i i think i trademarked it wow this was the name of it i probably beep it out just so someone doesn't steal it but whatever this was the name low cal you like that low calorie it's good it's good it's good i'd buy it yeah exactly i i need to get back on it and get some baba ghanoush in there, some cashew almond garlic dip. This is so good. Yeah.

Yeah. Big dip guy. Oh, man. So what's she been up to besides putting out the fires? I was in Atlantic City this past weekend. Yeah, did you win some money? Holy shit. Atlantic City.

Is it Litty Kitty? You know, it was so Litty Kitty. And I used to go to Atlantic City a lot as a child because my dad would play casinos there like every month. Casinos pay really well. And so we would go and go on the boardwalk. And, you know, it's like a poor man's. Vegas? It's like a poor man's Vegas mixed with like the Santa Monica Pier, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like a poor man's Vegas mixed with like the Santa Monica Pier, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's very interesting. Just so happened to be the same weekend as this Tidal Wave Festival, which is a country music festival on the beach, which is actually like pretty genius. So that was lit. We got to see my friend Breland play during the day. And then I played at a nightclub there on the boardwalk called HQ2. And man, it was the littest show I've played since, probably since April, like since those festivals I did earlier in the year. Like it was a fucking party.

Yeah. Loved it. Enjoyed every minute of it. Did you get some double D? Nah. That's okay though. Yeah, I don't know. I feel like I would have gotten an SCD.

Yeah. I mean, nothing against New Jersey. I just feel like there's probably a lot of like, a lot of venereal situations going on up there. Definitely. Some monkey pox. I steered clear of that, but I did party. I had a good time.

Nice. Yeah. It's good stuff. I've had a nightmarish hellscape of which no one can recover from in the past 24 hours. So we've been like doing this remodel thing at our house. And doing so, I had to take Carl to the dog hotel every day. And so we figured out, at least my running theory right now with his epilepsy,

is it's triggered by like high stress things. So like a lot of times when we have like a big party, the next day he'll have a seizure because it's like been like a lot. Oh, poor Carl and he doesn't love going to the dog hotel i think it's just like a lot of stimulation and so we did five days of it and then uh on friday night saturday morning he started having seizures and the poor kid had a seizure basically every hour on the hour for about eight hours wow and it was just it was just a lot and so much so that like i was like i gotta take him to the emergency room like this is like my

the medication that i give him like wasn't working and like he was just breaking through so here's the thing like he goes this very expensive neurology vet that is only open between the hours of like eight and eight 30. I think they're never open. And so I called, you know, I called him like my dog's having seizures nonstop. And they're like, you can't bring them here. And I'm like, great. You're zero help. Where do I go? And they're like, well, you need to go to the emergency room. So then I called the emergency room and they're like, well, it's an eight hour wait. And I'm like, sweet. So they'll have eight more seizures in that time i don't know to tell you and they're like oh okay bring him in and then you bring him in there and it's the most it's so expensive for him to

hang out there and basically have seizures there oh god anyways so it was just it's been a lot and so now he's just like real wobbly i just just, I feel bad. Don't love that. I don't love it either. I'm just hoping that means that like he's not going to have one for the next like couple months. It's usually how it works. Dang. On that high note, should we start the show or what are we thinking? I think so.

All right. Yeah. Is it you or me? I think it might be you. Bros and hoes, we didn't start the fire. We're just putting them out. You're listening to your favorite thing podcast with... Wells and Brandy.

Do it. Are we starting with the batch? Yeah, I think that's been the trend. Yeah. You tell me you're the one with the format. Well, I'm fine with it. I can also, we can do whatever we want, and I can just move things around and no one will be the wiser.

Oh, I see. And you don't listen to the show, so you will have no idea what happens. Honestly, did anyone listen to last week's episode? Because the title alone made me want to run for the hills. I don't know. It's pretty good. I thought it was pretty good. Do you come up with the titles?

I do not, actually. I do not. My work ends at the sending the episode finished. I see. The work ends at the sending the episode finished. And then the good people at Podcast Nation decide how to write the synopsis of the show. Right. And they come up with the title. Sometimes, most of the time, I'll choose what clip I think should be the real on Instagram. But that's about it.

Yeah, you're good at that. Yeah. Well, Batch, yeah. Batch. I have such a hard time recapping The Bachelor without like starting at the end of the episode. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because that's what's most fresh for you. It's fresh and also like it was, you know, the best part, I guess. Yeah. But okay, let's maybe start at the beginning.

Is that what we do? Okay, yeah. So Gabby's very awkward breaking up of Nate on a one-on-one, which seemed unnecessary. Like, that could have been like, I'm going to walk to the Lido deck and we can talk about it. Uh-huh. It was weird. Wasn't it weird?

I don't cry, you know? But like, I fucking, I think I had a tear in my eye during that breakup. Really? Wow. Yeah. I don't know if it's just like I just love Nate so much. And I think too, like, did you not see the look of shock on his face when he realized what

was happening? Yeah. I mean, he was fucking shocked. Well, it was weird because it was like, we're on this fun date. I'm crying. And it was like, whoa. What the fuck happened? Like, immediately went into, like, fucking waterworks. I think he was just, like, a little caught off guard being like, what is happening? Me too. I think he, like he i could just see it in his eyes the minute it clicked what was

happening yeah and he and it was just like he's just like oh fuck you know gabby the way she said it was correct and she was very kind and like obviously her emotion you don't think she said it's not you it's me which is well i but it's true that is true i mean nate's a fucking catch it is her yes i know but like that's the oldest cliche she followed that with that's so cliche i know but like she knows it's cliche and you can't use it but it's kind of true like there is no reason that nate should be going home except for the fact that gabby is fucked up over you know the whole like mom thing and can't be with him because he has a kid and that is on her like it is her it's not him it's a fucked up reason

to dump somebody if I'm being honest I think that's why I got the tear is because like poor precious Nate did nothing wrong he's a phenomenal guy absolutely gorgeous call me Nate and like he's literally just getting dumped because he has a kid and I just think that's so unfortunate and so sad because to me

they by far have the best connection out of any of the other guys she's got left, by far. The subtext seemed to be like, okay, so I'm dumping you because I think that I like you too much, but I don't like kids. Like, that's kind of what the subtext was. It was like, wait, hold on.

You like him too much, so you don't want to, like, further this on. I just was very confused by the whole thing. I applaud Gabby for being honest because she could have taken the easy way out of being like, I just don't think that like we, that you're in the same place that I am. And I mean,

I've got gone further with other relationships and this is like the end of the road for you. But I will say this, your boy's getting one hell of a bachelor at it. Sign me up. Well, have you not heard about all the news the bad news yeah but i also i don't read that shit because like people just

love to come out of the woodwork and have their five seconds of instagram fame absolutely but no please enlighten me but i also saw i didn't read it but i did see that he like said something back so if you could like cliff notes all that drama for me that would be great well i think it was like reality steve broke some story about some ex-girlfriend of nate's that said basically she dated him for whatever a couple months and he never even mentioned that he had a kid which i don't know if you owe that to anybody uh maybe if you're in like a six-month relationship but like if you're just kind of likeing around. And then I guess it came out that maybe he had two different... And then it came out there was another girl involved, so he was dating two different girls. Neither of them knew that he had a kid, and he was just kind of fuck-bullying it up.

Let's be fair. This is what I think probably happened. He got divorced or whatever, or broke up with his baby mama. Wanted to go have a good time for a little bit. Caught up to him, you know, as it does. And now he's got to eat some crow, I think, if he wants to be the bachelor. But yeah, crazy batch at it for him.

Crazy. But he's so incredible. Well, not according to these two women. Man, whatever. Oh, wow. Whatever. Wow. All right. I'm a Nate fan. I can see that. I'm wow. Whatever. Wow. All right.

I'm a Nate fan. I can see that. I'm a Nate fan. I can see that. So yeah, I shed a tear, you know, this first time for everything,

I shed a tear. Yeah. Rachel and Zach go on a date, right? Yeah. And one of my girlfriends actually recently tell me their Zach theory. What's the Zach theory?

They think that Zach is full of shit and that he's totally yeah they're like i feel like he's very like calculated and that he's just like doing and saying all the right things and he's gonna end up being a bad guy and i don't i don't think that's true is zach the guy that was like i used to be fat but now i'm yes i'm ripped so you think they think that that's a lie well i so they told me this theory before the episode aired this week. You know, Zach had that one-on-one date where they like watched their childhood memories back in the theater. And I guess he said something about, I used to watch airplanes as a kid.

Like my dad would take me to watch planes. And they were like, Rachel already said that on Clayton's season. And he totally just like heard that and took that and said it. And like that was their theory is that it was just all very calculated and that he isn't like as genuine as he comes off. I disagree. Okay. I want I'm going to believe the best in Zach.

I am a Zach fan. He's so cute. They look great together. He's so intentional and sweet with her. And he also seems to have like enough self-confidence that he's not threatened by some of the other like relationships the way some of the other guys are. Yeah. You know. Baby back bitch? It's the greatest line that's ever been uttered on The Bachelor is baby back bitch.

We'll get to that later. I actually think that like, so the Rachel's act date was like whatever. I mean, like that's cool. I've always wanted to go to those tulip, that tulip farm or whatever. Yeah, very cool. You know, roll around in the dirt there with the lady.

I think that would be pretty romantic, you know? And then you see a bunch of windmills and like no one's going to throw out a Pilot Pete joke where they can go do some double D-ing. I mean, I thought it. Yeah, we were all thinking about double D-ing up in the windmill. Absolutely.

Come on. I mean, you know your boy loves a callback. Come on. What are we doing here? Let's see if Zach's got the Zach attack. Yeah. Tino's the cheese king. Oh yeah, that was the dumbest shit.

His hissy fit. What do you think about the hissy fit? It's a little bit of like Tino, read the room. Everyone, everyone feels this way. And just because you have exposed a lot of yourself doesn't mean other people aren't. You're not the only guy here but i also understand where he's coming from like he's laying it all on the line and he's now feeling very little so i

understand where he's coming from but still when whoever said it when he's acting like a baby back bitch i was like jesus christ that's the best that's the best thing i've ever heard in my entire life you know yeah it's funny i think what Tino's not understanding is if he keeps on getting all of these roses, then the other guys are going to think that they have no shot. Yeah. And they can't let that happen.

It's a show. Well, and also like she can't let that happen because she might not be sure, like 100% sure on Tino. I know. So like, that's my thing is I'm like, Tino, like, like you know this is a show i'm sure you've seen it before use your fucking brain for two seconds like it's not

don't it's not so personal just stop being a baby back bitch logan's got covid i mean i guess you could easily say like how'd he get it but i guess they're all out in public so i guess anybody could technically get it yeah but how does she not have it i mean like she hugs him no one else have it she hugged him first on that date so i'm like every everyone's gotta have kovat kill me with the dramatics of it something happened with logan no and then not telling the guy what it is i was thinking the same thing i was like jesse what a dirty move it's horrible those guys probably think somebody died in his family or something or they're like you know he went but went rogue or whatever and it's like fuck this guy but what's hilarious is that those guys are like this motherfucker if he just stayed over on team rachel then oh then they would be over there

in quarantine and we'd be doing just fine yeah so he's just gone he's just done yeah does he get to come back what happens that doesn't seem that doesn't seem fair. And so after the rose ceremony, it was like, Gabby didn't hand out every rose. Remember, she was like, I can only give out three. Kind of makes me think he's going to come back. I mean, you got to think. Because the way they're acting, it's like, well, Logan's out of here. His journey's over. And it's like, well, that's not actually

fair. What sound chick or lighting girl did he hook up with that gave him the rose that we need to find out about. All right. You got anything else on the bachelor? Are we, are we good on that?

I think Nate might be coming back to, I don't know. Yeah, maybe so. All I know is Gabby is not getting engaged to any of those three dudes. There's no chance. By the way, do you know what,

you know what I went to the other day? What's that? I went to the Men Tell All. Oh, that already happened? Just happened. Oh, so you know some shit. I know some shit. Oh, you're just playing stupid over there for the past 40 minutes.

Okay. Well, I also filmed an entire season of Bachelor in Paradise with a bunch of these guys. How do you do these recaps if you know all the things? Well, I also filmed an entire season of Bachelor in Paradise with a bunch of these guys. How do you do these recaps if you know all the things? Because I'm just very smart and I don't say too much. Hilarious. Yeah. Anyway, so something happens in the mental all that is just chef's kiss.

Jesus Christ. Really? Jesus Christ. It's amazing. I don't even know if they're going to be able to air it. It's so, so ridiculous. But, yeah. Okay, so we have Hometowns and then Mintel All? I think so.

Two weeks out? Okay. Yeah. All right, that's enough batch talk. Feel good about it? Yeah. I don't think Gabby's getting engaged, though. You don't?

Do you think that Rach is? I think Rach might be. Yeah. Mm-hmm. All right. You got some favorite things, bro, or what? Bro. Yeah. yeah you got some favorite things bro or what bro yeah I am

shooketh to the core that you don't love the terminalist oh because the acting is terrible did you watch any further than one episode no you gotta so good you gotta be a good actor in the first episode if you're gonna be a good actor in the second

okay hear me out I feel like maybe it was the writing that wasn't great in episode one or something. Yeah. Because, I mean, these actors, these are phenomenal actors. Like, it's not like, there's got to be another reason that episode one wasn't doing it for you.

You know what I mean? And, like, I agree. Episode one was fine. But, like, I'm six episodes in. Let me just say, I would watch Taylor Kitsch no matter how fucking bad the show was. Like he, Tim Riggins forever.

You know what I'm saying? Like he's just so great. And he's so great in that role. That like army dude, cold hearted, you know, just, he's just so good. Yeah. All right. Hot. It takes like a lot of turns.

And this last episode I just watched, I like, I don't want to ruin it for anybody, but Chris Pratt's out there in the fucking wilderness fighting for his life, and it's really good. I really think you should give it a second shot. Okay, I might. It's really great. All right, all right. If you liked Lone Survivor or any of those,

it's just so similar. It's so good. Speaking of, I finally finished Blackbird. Oh, and? Phenomenal. Phenomenal. One of the best shows I've seen in a very long time, similar it's so good speaking of i finally finished blackbird oh and phenomenal phenomenal one of the best shows i've seen in a very long time taryn egerton is i was watching the acceptance speech for the oscars for best male lead i guess it was two years ago when joaquin phoenix won for joker and he beat out Christian Bale, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Taron Egerton. And I was watching it and I remember at the time thinking like,

this kid is nowhere near the caliber of these other guys in this category. And I'm watching this Blackbird and I'm like, oh, I was very wrong. Very wrong. Yeah, he's amazing. He is such a good freaking actor. Anyways, if you haven't seen Blackbird, it's so good. I was a little bit wrong with my theory. I feel like it was pretty true to what actually happened. Whereas I thought it was much more like they were taking some liberties. But like at the end of it, when they show like the pictures of what they look like, I'm like, oh shit.

I know. You know? Dead on. Because if I was writing this and taking a bunch of liberties, I would have done my storyline with the brother being in on it. That would have been such a good twist.

I mean, there were still some sketchy things there at the end where the other older guy burning the map he draws in the trash. There was some other dude in the yard burning the stuff he sent you remember that yeah it's his father oh it's his dad yeah that was sketchy as fuck well yeah it's like there's definitely some sketchy shit where the family has clearly covered shit up for a very long time that they know this guy's dangerous and you know a sociopath and they're and they're i'm sure they love him and whatever and so it's you know you're trying to see the good in somebody but at the same time like definitely some sketchy stuff

but i do think at the end of the day that that guy did all that shit on his own yeah anyways if you haven't watched that it's on apple plus i think and it is some of the best tv i feel like that kid's got to win a freaking emmy i don't know. Has to. Yeah. Just want to say the resort is still great. And if you're not watching the resort on Peacock, what are you doing, kid? I got to get Peacock. Get the cock, you know? You got to get it. We've talked about it before, but I'm just like every episode comes out every week.

I'm like, fuck, this show is so fun. So good. It's like taking a weird turn for me. Like it's even better. And I'm excited about that. Okay. There is a show that I... It's the only show that keeps popping up that's piquing my interest in any form whatsoever.

And I can't think of the name of it, but I can look. But it's about the girl that gets stuck out in the wilderness. You know what I'm talking about? No. Oh, yeah. It's called Keep Breathing. But you haven't watched any of it. No. I think I'm going to start Keep Breathing. But you haven't watched any of it. No.

I think I'm going to start it, though, because after I finish the Chris Pratt show, I'm just out of stuff to watch. When a small plane crashes in the middle of the Canadian wilderness, a lone woman must battle the elements and odds to survive. Keep Breathing. That looks pretty good. Yeah. It looks like it could be good. I don't think there't think there's any, like, names, you know, in the cast, like any big names or anything, but that's okay. I feel like it could still be great. Yeah. I watch a documentary on Netflix, which is pretty fucked up.

Hmm. Called I Just Killed My Dad. Oh, that's pretty fucked up. Yeah. I mean, kind of gives away a lot of the plot, I guess, in the title. But, you know. Anthony Templet shot his father and never denied it. But why he did it is a complex question with profound implications. Explore Anthony's psyche prior to the events of June 3rd, 2019 and the journey of his mental and emotional aftermath. I just killed my dad.

Dude, see these interviews with this kid. You're like, this guy's obviously a serial killer. He definitely planned this. He has no remorse. And then let me tell you something. There is a fucked up twist where you're like, whoa, didn't see that coming. Okay. Changing my mind maybe a little bit about this whole thing. Check out. I just killed my dad. Damn.

All right. It's pretty crazy. The world's crazy. Yep. Yes, it is. I started watching kind of an older show that it was originally on Starz, and I think that's why I didn't watch it. But now I can watch it on Hulu with J.K. Simmons, who is an Academy Award winner.

And he also sells insurance, I feel like, for State Farm. Yes, he does. Allstate, I think. Allstate, maybe. One of those. One of those. Allstate, State Farm. You can now watch it on Hulu.

And I started watching the first season. And it is so good because it's J.K. but jk simmons gets to play jk simmons twice oh a hapless un employee discovers that the agency he works for is hiding a gateway to a parallel dimension that's in a cold war with our own where his other self is a top spy. The war slowly heats up, thanks to spies from both sides. Counterpart. It's like a little bit of the upside down in Stranger Things where there's this portal into an exact replica world of ours,

and there's kind of this war going on between the two, and J.K. Simmons in one world is like kind of a little bitch and then in another world is like a badass motherfucker and they look exactly the same and they have like kind of like the same memories and stuff so one can kind of pretend to be the other in the world and it's very good i don't know how we didn't hear about it when it came out back in 2019 but go check it out man counterpart, Counterpart on Hulu. Great stuff. I think I've seen that.

Yeah. Like pop up. I haven't watched it yet, but that sounds familiar. Very good. Very good. So yeah. And then I started watching a show called The Sandman last night, and I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it.

It's fantasy. It could be fun, or it could also be kind of cheesy. It's on Netflix and it's based off like a very, very popular graphic novel, which I'm not really into graphic novels, but they have produced some amazing film and amazing television like Sin City and all that kind of stuff. So I'll give this one a chance and it's pretty cool, but it's also could be teetering on cheesy, but here's the tag. Upon escaping after decades of imprisonment by a mortal wizard,

Dream, the personification of dreams, sets about to reclaim his lost equipment, Sandman. So it's basically a guy who can like infiltrate your dreams and kind of like jump into other people's dreams and manipulate people and use magic and all that kind of stuff. If I'm being honest, I've only watched like the first episode and I was a little confused by all of it because I think they were just like trying to do some world building for me. So I'm going to stick

with it. But the Sandman on Netflix, if you're into fantasy, it's something you might want to check out. It sounds kind of good. We're in that weird end of summer lull before all the fall TV comes out, you know? Yeah. What are you excited for in terms of what's coming out? Obviously Yellowstone is what I'm absolutely

most ecstatic for. There's more Yellowstone? Of course there's more Yellowstone. What do you mean? I didn't know. I figured Kevin Costner was tired. No, he's making so much money. He can't afford to be tired. Okay. Premieres November 13th.

So we still got a few months, but you know, it's within reach. So I'm just holding out for that. Also, I'm assuming Grey's is going to come back. I am missing my Grey's, even though it's not what it used to be. I'm still very invested. I'm missing the Greys Anatomy. Also, I really do like Big Sky, so I'm excited for that to come back in the fall.

There's also a great show coming out on September 19th on Hulu called Best in Dough. That's right. It's hosted by yours truly. It's exciting. I saw the first episode. It's great. I'm having to start doing press for it. I'm excited for peeps to check it out. I saw that we got some fuck you very much as I thought we would,

uh, we'd get into. Let's take a listen. All right. Um, this is from L underscore land. You subject line F you, but not really because I love you.

Five stars. Hot take. I have to disagree with Brandy when it comes to sunglasses. This is in response to don't wear sunglasses inside. Oh, wow. Okay. Minor prescription. So they are on my face when I'm outside and sometimes inside. I'm a teacher. So when we come in after recess, sometimes I don't even know I have them on until someone asks me why am I wearing sunglasses inside? Also, they are my favorite thing when I have an ocular migraine because lights are killer indoors or out.

That's true. I have ocular migraines too. I love all the favorite things that these two recommend. They have great ideas for what to watch, music, travel, pop culture shows to follow, shopping, and a fun dynamic with great stories. Oh, this is the nice part. Wells is hilarious. Neither Brandy or Wells take themselves as seriously, which is refreshing. Love this podcast.

That's great. You know, hey, L underscore Lanue, why don't you get some... Transitions. Some transitions. Hey, I was already thinking that. Hey, yeah. Get them transitions, girl.

Yeah. Get them transitions. That's some funny shit. We should be getting paid for that. I know. The amount of people that wrote in about Hootie and the Blowfish

Dolphins Make Me Cry thing is amazing. Really? Yeah. Here's a fuck you very much from a podcast. Wells with like the emoji of the girl

with their hand over her face. Five stars. Okay. Wells, you're my favorite person to listen to, but please stop humble bragging about your wedding stuff,

including $300 plates of food and your fancy suit. Most of us can't relate, and therefore it sounds a little stuffy. Still five stars always. Okay. Fair enough. Get him. Fair enough. But let me tell you something.

Most people who are planning a wedding aren't paying for it. Their parents are most of the time. Is that true? Traditionally speaking, the woman's family pays for the reception and the rehearsal dinner is paid for by the groom's side. I see. And it's usually done by, you know, the dads get together and they plan everything. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you're right and I'm sorry,

but I just really wish that my parents would have paid for this. You know? Yeah, your parents were like, we had too many of y'all. Oh, yeah. Sorry, SOL. I'm the youngest of five and they're like, you're fucked. Go to the Chapel of Love in Vegas if you want to, you know? Or stop humble bragging, whatever.

Someone said, wait, cookie queen. This is a bad one. Cookie queen subject line, brainwashed one star. Do we read the one stars? This is what it says. Sad how brainwash Wells has become. Oh, damn. Okay.

Okay. I don't know what that's in reference to because I talk about- Oh, there's no context? No, it just says that. And- What? Here's the thing. I've always been brain-

I think aliens are real, you know? Which, by the way, I have a new theory on aliens. Okay, so, and this isn't my theory, but I saw this on TikTok, and I was like, that sounds like it could be a thing. So the UAPs, the UFOs, like it's a thing. Like the Pentagon has released information about it. There are things flying around our airspace that we don't know what it is. And we're pretty sure it's not Russia or China because it's just way too far advanced, right?

So there are shit. There's shit out there that's just happening. Whether you want to believe it or not, it's happening. It's been released by the government. And so when you listen to like a lot lot of scientists or really smart people like Elon Musk or Neil deGrasse Tyson, they'll be like, yeah, we think there's life on other planets, but we don't think it's anywhere near us. It's maybe on a different side of our galaxy or maybe in a different galaxy. And so the new theory is that maybe the things that we are seeing aren't alien.

They're from here. They just evolved, you know, could have been, this planet's like, what, 3 billion years old? Maybe whatever, like their time, they evolved before we even showed up, you know, before the dinosaurs or something. And also another thing, I was thinking about it, maybe they just live in the ocean. Because a lot of those UFOs that you see, they go in the water. That's true.

So maybe they're just watered. Maybe they're mermaids. That'd be sick. That'd be pretty cool, you know? I don't know, but one day I'm going to die and find out, and I'm going to be really excited about it. And then I'm going to find whoever fucking wrote that I'm brainwashed and say,

you know what, fuck you, man. But I don't know what else. It could be about politics, maybe, that she's saying I'm brainwashed. I feel like she could have left some context for us. Yeah, if you're gonna talk shit fucking tell us why you're talking shit someone did say uh when did this become a religion podcast oh boy oh you must be lds that's what that sounds like because we made fun of mormons for like three episodes and then or we're a scientologist i you were giving giving Catholics a hard time first.

But I'm Catholic, so I'm allowed to make fun of that. I know. You know? You were on the Catholic hater train there for a second. I'm not a hater.

I'm just saying it's all bonkers. It's all bonkers. Oh, gosh. It's a miracle we have any listeners left at all. I'm waiting for the day

that someone's like hey listen guys no one's listening anymore no one's like yeah no that makes sense all right time to go do something else i guess all right yeah all right well are we done i guess so you know i was thinking about doing i was thinking about making tiktoks where i just do like whatever our favorite things were in three minutes and then it's putting those things out that's kind of genius. But then that might make it so people don't listen to the podcast. Oh, yeah.

You know? Yeah, I think maybe. But then you would miss all my funny banter and the good stuff that I come up with all the time. You know? Yeah. I don't know. You got any Muzaks or no?

We talked about the new Beyonce last week, I believe. Yeah, we did. So good. I saw that Tallest Man on Earth has some new tunes out. Oh. This is Metal Firecracker. Big Tallest Man on Earth guy. And all I ask

Don't tell anybody the secret Don't tell anybody the secrets I told you. And all I ask, don't tell anybody the secrets. Don't tell anybody the secrets I told you. I can dig. Very Wells. Yeah, baby. I can dig very well yeah baby if you ever go to a tallest man on earth show

I mean there are some girls there but it's a lot of just like indie dude rock guys who are just like yeah give me all the sadness I could see that

yeah alright well did we do it? I think so alright well I enjoyed it I will say that I always do. Yeah, it was good.
