Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Dying in the Upside Down with Bougie Brandi and Peasant Wells

Episode Date: June 22, 2022

This week on YFT, Wells dials in from Mexico where he is far too sober and living like a peasant after an unfortunate time-lapse photo mishap. Meanwhile, Brandi is bougie as usual in an undisclosed location, but also saving the planet one sweaty sleep at a time as she somehow survives life without AC. Wells shares his no-fail pseudo-marg recipe that is keeping the drama flowing on the beaches of Paradise while he hopes that ABC is forced into giving him some screen time this season, and Brandi considers leaving IG in the dust and entering into a committed relationship with TikTok cuz she's a Gen Zer now. We are also blessed with a surprise cameo from Sarah for a very important pre-wedding moment that involves James Bond, an old Porche, and Wells' poor excuse for a beard. The hosts finish off with some fave things, including their most perfect picks for what their theme song would be if they died in the Upside Down.

Do we think brander is a veil we shall see myself late last night hello hello it's a nice paddle you have behind you. Oh, why thank you. I won that in my paddling match yesterday. That's a lie. For people who are wondering, it's an oar. Oh.

A paddling match sounds like a bad game of ping pong. Yeah, well, shows what I know. I'm having some Mexican booch, which is just American booch. Here's the one thing that I've learned about Mexico in the time that I've been here. So they put like warnings on everything. What do you mean? They've got this sticker on this kombucha that says, Exceso calorias, exceso azres, from the Secretaria de Salud.

So the health secretary. Oh, I see. So this is saying excessive calories and something else. I don't know. As Cazure, sorry. That's sugar. Okay, there you go. Your boy thought that kombucha was healthy.

What's happening here? It's on everything. they put it on literally everything and some things i'm like yeah that makes total sense like you know like potato chips okay yeah i know those are bad for me but you know it's on healthy stuff too where i'm like wait hold on here guys i thought the booch was healthy it's good for your gut it's like good cultures no apparently terrible everything you ever been to like europe or like anywhere other than america and on the cigarettes it'll be like show like pictures of like someone's like boob cut off or like you know like half their jaw missing or something

and it's like smoking's dangerous they're doing that to the food here yeah what's healthy guys nothing nothing you gotta like grow your own food at this point for it to actually be good for you what i found out mexico's taught me that everything's bad for you and we're all gonna die yeah that sounds right but if you're gonna die you might as well die in mexico i gotta say man ding ding ding mexico is the best ever it's and we've done this before when i've recorded down here before but like it's beautiful it's close it's cheap everyone's nice for the most part like i know there has been some scary stuff happening but everyone's nice everyone's like super pumped about the tourism you know know, the food is fantastic. They just got to figure out their water.

Once they get the water down, I mean, like everyone's going to fucking just move to Mexico. But like, you know, when you go to Hawaii or something, it's beautiful there. But Hawaii is fucking expensive, bro. It's also very far away. And then also the locals there don't want you there. You know, they're like, get the fuck out, man. This is our. Hey, Howley, you know, get out, go back to the mainland, Howley. And you're like, the fuck out man this is our hey howly you know get out go

back to the mainland howly and you're like fuck dude i don't know you know what mexico's like no no no no come on down here all right let me show you the beautiful vistas of mexico it's beautiful here so you're moving to mexico or what i'm telling you what man if this wedding wasn't taken up Sarah I want to accept this Just to be like what are you doing What's happening Oh I'm sorry I forgot I forgot I forgot I'm sorry I got caught up in the moment I called to talk about a caption for Instagram

For our engagement picture Alright well lay some on me Real quick Okay well I was thinking like The name's bride Bond bride Lay some on me real quick. Okay, well, I was thinking, like, the name's Bride. Bond Bride. Okay, I like that.

Or Bridal Bond... Bridal Bond Babes. Something with 007. Yeah, that's what I was trying to think, but I can't. You could also do something with, like, Shaken, Not Stirred. Yeah, but it's a picture of us kissing on the car and then lean in me leaning over the car to kiss you look up some bond movie names i want to post now sorry brandy brandy we're working on the diamond status content

you could do doctor yes oh diamonds are forever That's a Bond name. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Maybe I'll just do Bridal Bond, Diamonds Are Forever. Why don't you text me something? I got to go on to set. I'm sorry. I just wanted to run that by you real fast, and I wasn't thinking. I'm sorry.

Sorry, Brandy. I love you. Love you, too. Bye. Bye. Welcome to my life. I couldn't hear Love you too. Bye. Bye. Welcome to my life. I couldn't hear any of that. We got our engagement photos in. My mom just said,

uh, look, Blackwell's and Sarah posting their engagement photos. And I was like, yep. Yeah. So, so Sarah wants to post today.

And so obviously we have that cool old, you know, 1956 Porsche. And so it looks like a bond film which I agree like we look like we're in a bond film yeah so she wants like a good caption ah that has to do with like bond we're trying to figure it out you know wow you guys work together on your captions that right there give that a, wait, we don't have a bell. Couple goals, man. You don't run your captions by people?

No. Oh. I take great pride in my captions. Maybe that's my problem. I really don't put that much thought into it. I know, but it's such a big part of the thing. I know. You can have a trash photo with a good caption and it'll do well.

That's true sometimes though i don't even read captions anymore i'm scrolling so fast through there that i don't even i know i'm not even reading anything yeah what did you think of the uh the engagement photo loved it's good right you hyped it up and it and it lived up to the expectation like it surpassed the expectation honestly i told you we had a prop. It's a pretty good prop. It's a great prop. And what was fun about that day is that I got to drive it around. Because a lot of people will not let you drive a $350,000 car from the 50s around.

Fair. And it's like, what qualifications do I have? They were like, can you drive a stick? And I was like, yes, I can. And they were like, okay, here are the keys. The funny thing was is that there was no one there to tell me the specifics of driving the car. And if you know how to drive a stick, you know what I'm talking about. On the shifting knob is the gear tree. So you can see like, okay, so over and up to the left is reverse.

But in this old car, it had no gear tree. So your boy didn't know how to put it in reverse. Could never figure out how to put it into reverse Okay, never could and I also do I was like is this first or is this second? I have no idea because you I couldn't tell so I drove around for a little bit to just get this feeling of it But there are times when they be like, okay now drive all the way down there and then turn around But your boy couldn't go in Reverse Do you know how hard it is? so I had to go out to like a street

be able to turn back around in a big circle because i could not put it in reverse and do like a three-point turn it's fucking hilarious i've always wanted old porsche speedster or uh porsche roadster before they're so expensive but they're just like beautiful cars but after driving one i tell you what man like back in the 50s, they were just glorified go-karts, bro. It's not super fast. It's kind of clunky. Now, I'm going to need a newer

Porsche, like in the 60s. I'm going to look for a 60s version. Got it. What are you looking up right now? I'm looking at your engagement photo, and I have a quick question. This facial hair, is this photoshopped? Did you actually grow this? Because I'm here at your engagement photo, and I have a quick question. This facial hair, is this Photoshopped? Did you actually grow this? Because I'm here for it.

It's working with the aesthetic of this photo. Interesting. Okay, so we had just gotten back from New York from doing upfronts, so I hadn't shaved in a couple days. And so that morning I was like, should I shave or not? And Sarah was like, no, don't shave. I think it's going to sexy and I'm like yeah I look kind of like a dirty like a dirty little you know little Portuguese boy and I don't know

if I want that and she's like no sexy I was like all right fine so we went did the photo shoot and it's so funny you say that because I think I look terrible what I think I look so gross and Sarah really oh you look good. So yeah, there's a lot more. Pictures were up close where you can really see. Because that one's

kind of far away, you know? Yeah, I had to really zoom. Yeah. So yeah, there's a lot of facial hair photos of me. So you're into the facial hair thing, huh?

Oh, I'm a big facial hair guy. You know this. I just don't. I don't love it. And I mean, I know you don't have a whole lot. So I was like,

you know, it looks pretty dark here. Is this, I know you don't have a whole lot. So I was like, you know, it looks pretty like dark here. Is this, you know, edited or makeup? But I could pretty much grow a full beard at this point. I got two patches, kind of small patches right here and right here on my cheeks. But other than that, I can grow pretty much a full beard. I just think I look gross. I love a beard.

I love facial hair. I mean, here's the thing. Let me just back up for a second. Yeah. I love a beard. I love facial hair. I mean, here's the thing. Let me just back up for a second. Yeah. I love a well-kept beard. Like, I love, like, a, you know, like, I love facial hair and I love a beard, but it needs to look maintenanced. Yeah. Like, I need you to take care of it,

but I'm here for it, as long as you take care of it, and it looks nice. For the wedding photos, obviously, I'm going to be clean-shaven. But, you know, I just have this like one hairstyle. Like I've just always had this one. I can't, like there's nothing I can do. And I'm wondering if like for the wedding,

I should do, you know, like real slicked, great Gatsby style hair or. Well, can the curls do that? Can the curls be slicked? I think that like with enough pomade, some elbow grease and three or four hair dryers things can be done well i would highly suggest testing this theory yeah you're right before the day yeah highly suggest i know because it would be nice if it was just like plastered down in my

head like that's what it is but the thing the truth of the matter is is that i've never looked like that so people might be like who the fuck is this guy? Yeah, it might be weird. I know. I don't know. It's tough. So anyways, Mexico's taught me that everything is bad for us. Brandy's taught me that I should grow my facial hair out. So there we go.

Yeah. I know you're on vacay with the damn fam. Well, part of the fam. Yeah. How's it going? The part of the fam. Yeah. How's it going? The part of the fam that can actually make a plan and follow through. Yeah, yeah, yeah. With a trip, you know?

It's great. I wish I could tell you guys where I am, but we'll still be here by the time this episode comes out, and I can't do that to Mile, because as of right now, we're flying under the radar pretty good. That's nice. We're living large, because no one knows we're here it's painful to not get to post because it's so beautiful i want to share with you guys but i'm i'm um i'm just you know taking a lot of content and just throwing it in my draft so that i can post it

when we get home because where we are is absolutely beautiful it's incredible it's dream i get why people love it here we're somewhere that i've never been before so i've really been looking forward to coming and i totally get the hype now that i'm here so next week i will share more details about where i am with you guys but um but yeah i'm sitting in a sunroom just staring out at this gorgeous view that i've got with the windows open you might hear some birds chirping but yeah this house is incredible my only complaint and i feel like such a tool even having a complaint because this place is incredible yeah there's no air conditioning and my bougie american spoiled conditioned just human nature is really coming out because i really like the room at 66 degrees at night and I am lucky if I'm getting it at like 72

here. Saving the planet one small step at a time, one shitty sleep at a time. I'm surprised they don't have those wall units. Nope, no wall units. One other thing that Mexico's got over where you're at right now.

Your boy's got some AC. That's because it's 115 degrees there year round. I'm at 17 degrees Celsius. Do I know how much that is in normal Fahrenheit? Not even close. That's really cold. It is very cold. It is great. I don't know what it is. I could

probably do some math to figure it out, but I'm not going to. But I know that your boy likes 18 degrees Celsius. That's fucking freezing, honestly. Let's find out how much 18 degrees Celsius is. It's pretty low. I feel like when I stay in rooms with Celsius thermostats, I keep it at like 20 or 21. Oh, that's 64 degrees. Oh, yeah.

Fucking freezing. How the that's 64 degrees. Oh, yeah. Fucking freezing. How the pipes haven't frozen, I will never know. Oh, man. Well, I'm happy you're having... So is it just you, Miles, and Tish the Dish? That's right. Oh, man. It's a girl party over there.

Girl party. That's nice. Oh, yeah. Well, should we start the show? Oh, yep. We's a girl party over there. Girl party. That's nice. Oh, yeah. Well, should we start the show? Oh, yep. We should do that. Yeah. Is it me or you?

I have no idea. I'll go for it. Okay. Bros and hoes. It's a vacation edition of Your Favorite Thing Podcast with... Wells and Brandy. Let's go. Actually, I'm not on vacation

I have a weird You might as well be Well here's the thing I have a weird schedule This is a very weird job I will say that This year is turning into a lot of night shoots for your boy I have the entire day to myself

Which is amazing And I have a pool that I can go lay by And there's the ocean I can walk down And I go on my runs and stuff but then I have my night shoots and I so badly want to get drunk by the pool but I can't because I gotta go to work you know so it's like I'm it's like the vacation is like an arm's length like I can I can taste it I can feel I can touch it but I can't really get over the hump of like you know one day I just want to get like margarita trashed and pass out in the sun.

But your boy is getting very dark. We've gone full native over here. Oh, wow. I can only imagine. How is the feet tan? The foot tan? It's everything is now just very tan. I'm going to need you to post an update, updated photo so I can assess.

I'll show you at some point. But then I work from like 9 to like 3 in the morning, which is whatever. I've gotten used to the schedule. You know when you're used to wait tables and you'd finish your shift and then everyone would go to industry night. You'd go out and you'd have drinks afterwards. And then you'd get home and you're just like buzzing from like being in the weeds all night and like

having a very hectic night and then having drinks and you're trying to come back down but it takes like an hour so this is me every time i dj yeah okay yeah you know exactly what i'm talking about so like you know let's say i wrap at 2 30 or 3 your boy's not going to bed until 4.15. You know? Like, I have to come back and, like, have a margarita drink and, like, try to, like, chill the F out. And then, so then I'm not waking up until, like, 11 o'clock. You know? Because I'm trying to get as much

sleep as possible. So I'm just in a weird schedule. But anyways, I'm not complaining. It's absolutely beautiful here. And there's not much I can really say about Paradise other than, like, we're going bigger than we've ever gone before. Really? Well, ABC ordered 13 more hours of television this year. Oh.

So... Wait, that sounds like a lot. It is. Effectively, it's six more episodes. Holy shit. And it's just a weird thing where they've moved Dancing with the Stars over to Disney+. So that means like... They did?

Yeah. It's not on network anymore? No. Not on network TV? No, I know. It's bonkers. What? So it used to be like Bachelor in Paradise would be like Mondays and Tuesdays and then Dancing with the Stars would start and then Bachelor in Paradise was Mondays and Dancing with the Stars was on Tuesdays.

And that's how it went. Now Dancing with the Stars is gone. So that means Bachelor in Paradise is just Mondays and Tuesdays for like forever in the fall. It's a wonderful thing because like I guess ABC like believes in the franchise enough to be able to do this

but it's also crazy because it's like we have to cast and create a show that's much bigger than we ever have before. So anyways. It's bonkers out there man.

There's some cute relationships happening. Really? Yeah there's some things that's some cute relationships happening. Really? Yeah, there's some things that I'm really excited about. Okay. You know, last year I helped Joe along his journey. The year before that, I think I helped Derek a lot. The year before that, I think it was a lot of, like, Christina.

There's a couple people that I've been really, you know, helping along. Wow. With the aid of some tequila and good advice. that for you yeah they'll cut it don't worry actually they might not because we have so many hours to fill they're like fuck it throw them on the tv i don't know can't wait honestly i can't either i'm excited right, quick PSA for those of you out there who rent.

Oh, speaking of drinking margaritas, I figured it out.

I cracked the code. I made the hack. Have you ever had this San Pellegrino Lemonata drink? I have not, no. Well, you've had San Pellegrino like other ones, right I have not, no. Well, you've had San Pellegrino like other ones, right? Like the orange one and you know.

So anyways, we have this limonata here. If you want to have the most delicious margarita in the history of margaritas, Oh, that's a big statement. Listen, part of my job

is to make these every single day. I've never had as good a margarita as just tequila and this Lemonada drink. And maybe like a splash of soda water is to get it more fizzy. No triple sec or contrary needed. No lime juice needed. Absolutely delicious. Foolproof.

Ding, ding, ding. This San Pellegrino Lemonada with some tequila will fucking change your life. It's so good. Okay. Maybe I need to add that to my rider. Check it out. I'm telling you. You know, because I have Casamigos tequila on there.

And we normally just ask for like soda water and limes. But maybe I need to add that San Pellegrino. Dude, I'm telling you. Just try it. Lemonada. Lemonada. Just try it. I'm telling you. Just try it. Lemonata. Lemonata. Just try it. I'm telling you it'll change your life.

Okay, okay. I might go make a drink right now with it, if I'm being honest with you. Because now I'm excited about it. Get your life. Okay, hold on. Woo! Woo! Sarah is a post-in.

Oh, is she? Oh, yeah. What did she go with? Bond. Bridal Bond. That's good. Hashtag diamonds are forever. Okay.

Pretty cute. So we did the thing where, like, I tagged her in the picture where it's like a dual picture thing oh yeah i don't know what that does well it shows it on your feed and hers but is that good to do or is it better just to tag somebody i'm not really sure yeah i'm not i don't really know you know what i'm not really sure about anything instagram right now and now that i have finally made the leap to TikTok. Yeah. I feel like, I feel like leaving Instagram in the dust to tell you the truth.

Well, don't do that because. TikTok is so much more fun. It is more fun, but have you made any money off of TikTok yet? Not yet, but I am well on my way because I just posted a TikTok of T of tish and i the other day i saw the dancing and it is going viral we're up to 600k views oh nice i know we're doing it here's why i love tiktok

you can trash men on this app because it's funny it's in a funny video and everyone just thinks it's funny instead of thinking you're like a man hater. They're just like, LOL. Yep. Like, it's great. Anyways, here's the drink. All right. What kind of tequila we got in there? Oh, it's trash tequila.

They gave me Don Julio the first like week and I cranked through that pretty quickly. And now I'm just on like some Jose Cuervo like bullshit. It doesn't even matter though with this limonata. Really? Huh. Absolutely. Delicious. You got some fave things, bro? Or what's happening here? It doesn't even matter though with this limonata. Really? Absolutely delicious. You got some fave things, bro? Or what's happening here?

Bro, finally finished The Staircase. Oh, yeah? The HBO one. Yeah. I haven't watched the documentary yet. I have it downloaded and it's my next watch. And I'm very excited to watch it. Because I know I get it. The scripted version you know we're making tv here so like i i'm not and i but here's my thing

about the documentary and you can tell me because you've seen it so like what really gets me in this show in this story is how this like gorgeous successful french woman falls in love with this fucking dude that's like convicted for murder and a complete freak show you know what i'm saying and so i don't know like if they even show that in the documentary but that's what happens in this scripted show and so to me like halfway through you know she's making she's part of the team making this documentary but now she's in love with the guy so i'm like well obviously your view is biased so if you're making the documentary and you're positive he's innocent then the documentary is going to make people think he's innocent because you're not going to put it

put any shit in there that makes him look guilty that's fair you know what i mean so i'm like how accurate is that is that like i'm sure it's pretty accurate you know what i mean yeah so like that's what really gets me and like i and up until the last, I really was torn on what I thought. Like, the problem is he's such a freak. He's not likable. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know about in the documentary. I've heard he's more likable than that.

But, like, Colin Firth portraying him, like, I don't know if he's just, like, such a great actor or what it is. But the guy's a freak show, you know? And he's not likable. And he's totally weird. But the problem is they play out these three scenarios in this show. Throughout the series, they literally act out and show all three of these scenarios of how she could have fallen or how she could have been killed with it being an accident. Actually, two of them were accidents. And then they actually play out the one where he kills her.

And you're watching all three of these acted out. And you're like, shit, I could believe any of these. I'm sure in the documentary, did they show the owl theory? No, that came up later. Oh, okay. And when you first hear that, you're like, that's a fucking stretch. Then they play it out. And you're like, shit, I could believe that.

That could have happened. Yeah. It's just wild. And so it's like you think like you think oh there's no way that's how it happened like he did it and then they played out and you're like oh shit now i don't know so i don't know but then towards the end and this is i guess a spoiler alert so like if you if you're watching the hbo series and you don't want it to be ruined or whatever maybe like fast forward 60 seconds here but in the end they really you know drive home the fact that this guy is a compulsive liar like in every sense you know like all these things come out that that he's lied about that are quote unquote small things you know it's you know but to me someone that's lying about small things is

absolutely lying about larger things and if you're that comfortable with lying about small things then you're probably pretty fucking comfortable lying on you know on the stand up there telling some elaborate story that you've been able to like rehearse and shit i don't know so this this whole fact of him being this compulsive liar and he's lied about so many things to me that drove home that I think he did it. I think he absolutely killed her. Okay, interesting. Go watch the documentary and then tell me what you think. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Let me tell you a funny story about what happened to me the other day,

which is pretty great. I'm a guy that like never breaks their phone, okay? Okay. Now that you've said that, you're going to go smash it. Yeah. Or did you already? I have like a screen protector. I have a case.

I've had this phone for two years. It is in immaculate condition. One of the most amazing things about where I'm filming right now, which you see on the show a lot, are the sunsets are ridiculous. So one day there was a beautiful sunset happening. And so I positioned my phone on my patio on the fence, and I just started doing the time-lapse thing, okay? Then your boy got up, and he went to go make himself a delicious margarita

with a limonata from San Pedro Grimo. And hold on. Delicious. And when I came back out, I saw my phone slipping down, and then boom, fell 20 feet down, landed flat. No. Slipping down, then boom, fell 20 feet down, landed flat. Oh, what? No. When I tell you that the screen of this thing exploded into a million pieces,

I've never seen a phone have this happen before. It was so bad. So I went down there and I was like, maybe the screen protector saved it. And then when I pull the screen protector off, it's going to be totally fine. No, no, no, no, no. Screen protector didn't do shit bro this thing was destroyed now it's kind of my only lifeline when i'm filming when like producers need to be like hey you're done now go go home so i have like i have no phone so i've been having to like live like a peasant through like computers and fucking iPads and watches and just hoping for the best. A peasant with iPads and watches.

Yeah. But I tell you what I'm going to do. I've been paying for this AppleCare fucking every month. $9.99 for however long. Your boy's going to use it when he gets home. Well, yeah. I've never done it. I was like, I'll just buy a new phone. Then I was like, yeah. I've never done it. I was like, I'll just buy a new phone.

Then I was like, no. This fucking AppleCare thing that I pay for every month. Oh, yeah. And it's used. So anyways, it's so funny, though, if you watch the time lapse. Because it went to the cloud. And it's this beautiful sunset. And then all of a sudden, it to black. It went to the cloud.

Yeah, it did. That's nice. Yeah. Have you seen the new Chris Hemsworth, Miles Teller movie, Spiderhead? No. Excuse me for not wanting to watch a Chris Hemsworth film.

Why? I don't know. If it was Liam, I would understand, but Chris... Oh, definitely wouldn't be wanting that. Yeah, but Chris didn't do anything wrong. He didn't break up with your sister. Yeah, well, you know.

That's not fair. My loyalty. I mean, I get it, but like... Strong. Hold him strong. Listen, if it was a Liam thing, I'd say go yeah yeah you kick rocks but this is the brother this is the brother the brother liam the brother it's all the same it's not that's like that's like someone hating you because they don't like miley doesn't make any sense hate away hate away well anyways i like chrisemsworth. And I think he's very funny.

I think he's a very good comedic actor. And I think he's a good actor-actor. Obviously, I love Miles Teller. Love. He's our next-door neighbor. He's an awesome dude. And he's also just a very, very good actor. So there's a new movie out on Netflix called Spider-Head.

Okay. It's not, like, going to win Oscars or anything, but it's very, very good. And you know what it reminds me of? It reminds me a lot of Ex Machina. Oh, loved that movie. I did too. It's not as well done as Ex Machina is, but it's got the same vibe. So basically, here's the tag.

In the near future, convicts are offered the chance to volunteer as medical subjects to shorten their sentence. One such subject for a new drug capable of generating feelings of love begins questioning the reality of his emotions. Spiderhead on Netflix. So Chris Hemsworth is, he like basically owns a jail in the middle of the ocean. And there's all of these inmates there. They are testing out these drugs on them for a reduced sentence. And the drugs like make them feel all sorts of different things. Love, lust, laughter, anger, hatred, like all the things. And they're testing them out like almost like rats in a laboratory right but there's like more at play here you're not really sure what's going on and like there's a great twist to it but anyways i really enjoyed it it held my attention for a

long time obviously i didn't have a phone to look at so i was very very uh interested in this the thing but yeah go check it out spider head it's good i'll probably watch it it's not bad it sounds good it's got a good twist to it you kind of know where it's going but then the twist is like oh oh that's actually quite interesting so that sounds like a movie i'd like uh you know what movie chris did forever ago that was like a very serious role that i loved him and was rushed did you ever watch that movie yeah yeah yeah oh great movie that was the car racing one yeah the other guy in that that also plays the bad oh yeah who was the bad nazi in inglorious bastards he's great in that yeah that guy's a great movie yeah yeah i almost don't even want to talk about it because you're gonna want to probably ruin things for me but you can't okay i am one episode away

from finishing stranger things oh great i know the last episode is almost an hour and a half long oh i know actually i think it's oh i think it's an hour 40 yeah it's long i was like it's a damn movie very random but we were driving around yesterday you know um at our undisclosed location and we're driving and we're like at a stop sign and miley's like wait the guy in the car in front of us, coming towards us, that's the guy from Stranger Things. And I was like, what do you mean? She's like, that's an actor from Stranger Things that plays the dad. And I was like, the cop?

And she was like, yeah, the cop, the dad, that's him. And I think we passed him. Did you say hey? No. Why not? I don't know. But I thought it was funny because I was like, hey, I'm watching Stranger Things right now. But if anyone can stop the guy from Stranger Things, it's Miley Cyrus being like, hey, it's Miley.

And he's like, oh, hey, I'm the guy from Stranger Things. I'm the guy from Stranger Things. Yeah. Yeah, I have one episode left. I almost wish you hadn't told me the video game theory because now it's all I can think about. the video game theory because now it's all i can think about oh also did we even talk about how you sent me that article about how the person that created the villain what's his name um vekna vekna yeah vekna did the night king see i'm not crazy yeah you were right about that i know my shit i know sarah sent me that and she was like brandy's onto something here damn for those of

you that don't know what we're talking about it's a couple episodes ago that brand she was like, Brandy's on to something here. Damn. For those of you that don't know what we're talking about, it was a couple episodes ago that Brandy was like, is it just me or is it Vecna seem a lot like the Night King? And I was like, yeah, I guess so. And then apparently the guy who did the makeup for the Night King also is doing Vecna. Good on you, kid. I am on my

shit. Well, I want you to finish it because I want to talk to you about what you think is going to happen going forward. I know. So next week we'll have to do that because i am one episode away this season is very good it's very scary i can't watch it just before bed it's very very dark there's a lot of scenes going on that that like if i had watched this as a kid i would have severe nightmares about um right now you know the end of the episode i just watched so spoiler alert if you're watching stranger things fast forward 60 seconds poor steve has gotten pulled under into the fucking

upside down or whatever underwater something grabs his leg from the water and he gets pulled out okay that's a huge nightmare of mine okay that's why i don't go in the ocean things just pulling you under you never come back so you got freaking steve down there and obvi obvi steve kids isn't gonna stay there and die. They can't kill Steve. Well, they can't. Obvi, he's coming back. I hope not. I hope he never dies.

Gosh, he can't. That one's terrifying. There's been so many children just levitating into the air and getting, like, dismembered. Like, the fucking poltergeist shit. Like, it is terrifying. Yeah. So, you know, the song that saves... The Kate Bush song.

The Kate Bush song. That song never made it to number one when it was out, like in the 80s, but now it's chart-topping. Oh, well, it's all over TikTok. All over TikTok. Yeah. If I only could make a deal with God. What would be your Vecna song? That's a very heavy question.

You know what would be a funny one? What? Remember that Kelly Clarkson song, Since You've Been Gone? Yeah. That'd be a good one. That's what you want? Yeah, the big,

fuck you to all the dudes. It always goes back to how you've been to men are trash for you yeah it does like it's it's amazing that like that is immediately where your head goes you know what you know what if i'm gonna gonna be in the upside down i'm going out. I want to make sure all the fucking guys know how shitty they are. Exactly. Yes. I feel like that's it. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, my God. That's amazing. It's too good. What's yours? You know. It's a toughie. It's too good. What's yours? It's a toughie. It's a great question. You know what it would be?

I was thinking The Killers would make a good soundtrack for that too. Yeah. By the way, I heard some theory the other day that The Killers is really an undercover Christian band. And it's like, no way. But I thought Random Flowers was Mormon. Mormon band. And if you go look at all the lyrics, they're pretty crazy. I feel like, no way. But I thought Random Flowers was Mormon. Mormon band. And if you go look at all the lyrics, they're like pretty crazy. I feel like that's possible.

Yeah. I think that mine would be The Cure, Just Like Heaven. That's a good one. I do think that this song is one of the most perfectly written songs in the history of music. I don't know why, but it's how I feel. Okay. Yeah. Did you hear this?

No. Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick. The one that makes me scream, she said. The one that makes me love, she said. Through her arms around my neck. Show me how you do it. Oh, such a good song. And if I'm dying in the Upside Down, I want a song about heaven because that's where I want to go.

You're out here trying to get fucking revenge on dudes. Your boy's over here trying to secure his spot for the everlasting. Got it. So priorities, Brand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm keeping my priorities where they're at. Yeah, that sounds good. You never got into The Boys, did you? No.

The Boys season three, it's just getting even more insane. I've talked about this show a lot. It's very popular. It's on Prime. It's a superhero show, but it shows like what would it be like if the superheroes were just kind of trash people

because they wouldn't be perfect they wouldn't all be like superman and like captain america or whatever they would have flaws and all this kind of stuff so in season three in the first episode it's beautiful and it all goes back to a marvel theory that like if you wanted to kill Thanos, Ant-Man should have shrunk down to the size of an atom or whatever, gone into Thanos' asshole, and then expanded and exploded him. And that would have been an easy way to kill Thanos. So the boys have done this exact thing,

and they made it into reality where there's a bunch of the superheroes partying, doing coke, and getting drunk or whatnot. And there is a character called, it's another insect. I can't remember what it is. And he's gay. And so he's with his gay lover and they're blowing coke and they're naked and stuff. And his gay lover's like, I want you inside of me.

So he shrinks down to tiny. His gay lover's like, I want you inside of me. So he shrinks down to tiny, and then he goes into his gay lover's penis, and he starts scratching on the walls of his urethra, bro. And the guy's like, oh my god, go, go, go to my prostate, go to my prostate. And because he's been blowing coke, he starts to sneeze, and he sneezes one time. And then expands and fucking explodes. What? Fucking beautiful television, dude.

This show sounds ridiculous. It's so amazing. He's inside his penis scratching it. And then he fucking expands as he blew too much coke. Like, all of the, like like can you imagine writing that scene and being like this is real we're gonna do this and you had to be on some kind of drugs to write that scene so great anyways the boys season three is so good it's such a good fucking show if you guys aren't into that i don't know what to tell you it's fantastic fantastic okay okay i gotta

lease everything i got a bone to pick. Okay, that's all right. All right? Hey, clothing companies out there, let's stop sewing pockets for no fucking reason. No one said, you know what I wish these pants didn't have? Pockets, okay? So what's the fucking point of sewing up the pocket? Also, you made the pocket, okay? The fabric is there.

The pouch is there. Why are you being a gatekeeper here, all right? Why are you sewing this thing up? In what world does this make any sense? Hey, you know what I want to do before a big night out? I want to crudely cut my fucking asshole open with like some kitchen scissors so I can put my wallet back there makes zero sense also seamstresses and like the clothing companies you're just wasting thread guy what's the point has anyone said you know what man I really wish this would sewn back up no no one's ever said it but you know you got to do you got to start ripping it and then slicing it with some fucking scissors that you find in the kitchen. And all of a sudden you got frayed thread everywhere. I don't understand.

Let's stop doing that, guys. That's fair. A lot of times I will cut pockets out of pants. Really? Yeah, like especially the ones that go on the front of the leg, you know, like in like a sweat pant or like a lounge pant or something. Like I cut them. My mom used to do this when I was a kid i cut them and then sometimes i have to sew it but like i cut them so that it doesn't like make a weird line on my leg yeah but then sometimes you put like things in the pockets and then they slide all the way down your leg no like you chit your pants

no i don't really put things in pockets i think i for the same reason. Then it makes my legs look bulky or bulgy or weird. Putting things in pockets is kind of a man thing, I think. Because you guys don't have a purse to put anything in. Yeah, I know. I feel like guys are starting to gravitate towards having a purse, which is basically a fanny pack that they've thrown over their shoulder. I'm not sure if I like this look. Yeah, Merce.

I feel like a lot of people are doing it. Go big or go home, guy. You know, like get a purse or don't. But like, let's not like half-ass Hispanic pack over here. Uh-huh. Do you have anything else? I mean, listen, I weekly look forward to The Time Traveler's Wife, which I'm sure you haven't watched.

No. Is it great, though? I'm sorry. I don't know that there's a hotter man on this earth than Theo James. He is freaking gorgeous. Like, I just can't even. I don't know if the show really is good or if I just really enjoy getting to watch Theo James on the screen for an hour every Sunday. Like, chef's kiss.

Thank you. This is just what my Sunday needed, you know? A little Theo James on the screen. He's naked a quarter of the time because he can't take his clothes when he time travels. So, you know, you get to see his rocking bod. I mean, it's pretty great. So if you guys aren't watching The Time Traveler's Wife, highly recommend. Yeah, go back in time and watch that shit.

So good. There's a documentary on Netflix right now called Web of Make Believe. Death lies in the Internet. Have you seen this no what is that dude i started watching this recently so i'm only like an episode in but it's fucked up man here's the tag conspiracy fraud violence murder what starts out virtual can get real all too quickly. And when the web is worldwide, so are the consequences. Have you ever heard

the term swatter? I don't think so. It's about like all these gamers who will play Call of Duty or whatever and like talk a lot of shit to one another and they get so angry that they'll call the SWAT team on someone that they don't like what and they'll be like I just shot my dad in the head he was having an

argument with my mom you need to come now and they'll go to someone's house who they because they got a call and saying this is the address and it's just like some gamer who's like what the fuck is happening first episode's about this one kid, Tyler, who does it a lot. He calls in bomb threats all the time. He's big into this and he gets caught, but he keeps on doing it. And on the dark web, people will pay him to do this. Inevitably, it goes wrong. Finally, they swat the wrong house and someone walks out and is very confused.

And there are bad consequences. Anyways, this whole thing is crazy you gotta watch this damn yeah have you talked about the netflix docu-series called keep sweet yeah we i talked about it last episode that's the one you were talking about right yeah miley was talking about it and she's obsessed yeah which i I think we're going to start that. Yeah. Which, by the way, I saw like a lot of LDS people commenting on the most recent post. Oh, yeah.

And they're like, that's FLDS. That's different than the LDS. Oh. And so, yeah. Yeah. But guess what? It's three of the same four letters. It's kind of close, bro.

It's kind of close. I mean, yeah, you're right. It's not the F part's different, but the LDS part's similar, so I don't know. What's the F part? Fundamentalist. Oh. Yeah. I see.

And to all the Mormons out there, we kid. But also, your religion's crazy. Sorry. Oh, gosh. Some guy didn't find tablets in Utah in fucking a couple hundred years ago. But here's the other thing, though. That one is crazy. It is crazy. It is crazy. But so is the 14-year-old virgin who has a child via God

of whom grows up and walks on water and makes a lot of fish appear and turns water to wine and then dies and then comes back to life. That's crazy too. And also fucking Scientology with the aliens and DC-10s flying across the universe and Thetan levels. It's all crazy. No, totally. It's easy to make fun of Mormons, but it's just as easy if you really think about it to make fun of people who are Christian.

And it's just as easy to make fun of people who are Scientologists because it's all bonkers. And no one has any fucking actual empirical evidence or proof of anything. And that's what faith is. Yeah, that's the whole point. Faith is just believing in something that is crazy. That's true. And that's beautiful. It is.

And that's what America's all about. You know? Yeah. That's true. Oh, man. Wow. I love this enlightened version of you. I mean, like, people are going to comment me for saying that.

That's pretty blasphemous. But it's true. It's all crazy. Every religion is kind of crazy. I mean, it's just all kind of crazy. Yeah. We're all crazy. Yeah.

I watched the new Matrix. It got a lot of hate. I kind of liked it I'm not going in expecting Oscar worthy performances that's not what the Matrix is bro you know it's fighting and it's Keanu Reeves

and shoot him up and everything the only thing I didn't like about it is Jada Pinkett Smith's in it and I don't like Jada Pinkett Smith anymore because of the Oscars so that's the only thing this is crazy but i actually never saw the matrix yeah same with sarah and like whoa really well she's i don't know if she's like really into it or whatever and i think the first matrix is one of the best movies ever i mean yeah i feel like i don't know anyone else that's never seen it that's my age anyway yeah the wachowski brothers they're great but i'm like if i went back and watched the matrix now is it gonna be as good is it such an old movie it might be even

more crazy because like the internet's gotten even more insane since they made that movie true and also like the thought of humanity not being in base reality but being in some sort of simulation has now become a more widely agreed upon possibility than before. And so that's what it's all about. It's like the theory is this is a simulation. Right. We're really plugged in somewhere else or whatnot.

I got a ding ding for Sarah. She watched the new Father of the Bride. Oh, what'd she think about it? She loved it. She said it was great. Okay. So I haven't seen it so andy garcia's in it it's like i mean who doesn't love andy garcia yeah i'll probably watch it i mean it's

just another one i'm like god where are the original ideas right now i feel like we're just remaking everything so i was hesitant to start it but i mean if it's good it's good but you know i know it's just so hard because Steve Martin and Martin Short in the original are so good. I know. So fantastic. Martin Short, I think, is one of the funniest people that's ever lived.

And his portrayal of the gay French wedding planner is so fucking funny. Mock. Oh, man. fucking funny mark oh man um you know what i'm talking about you know yeah oh yeah i know you know what else i did watch it's nothing you know groundbreaking but um they i think they just released it but it's like a i don't know it's like an inside look at like the cast of ozark saying goodbye to the show or whatever oh yeah and it interviews everybody to get you know like their take on the ending and stuff i don't know

i enjoyed it if you like ozark it's you know and you like behind the scenes stuff it's a cute little quick watch yeah um all right you got anything else I think that's all I got. All right. Well, should we go out on some Kelly Garson? Mine is freaking well. If anyone out there is in the upside down and you're being held captive by Vecna. And you were born in the late 1980s. Maybe this song. Early 1990s.

Yeah. The 2004 actually just came out. Yeah. Yeah. If you're being held captive by Vecna and you need something to pull you back into reality. And you hate men. Men are trash. I mean, Vecna's a man, so it checks out, I guess.

It does. You know, maybe this will help. Well, have fun the rest of your journey. Thanks. Can't wait to tell you guys more about it next week. Oh, oh, oh, oh. I can't leave without giving a shout out to the YFTer that was on my flight on the way here. Oh, really?
