Recording this on April Fool's Day, but it'll be coming out a couple days afterwards. So I'm not going to do a whole like April Fool's gag on you. Also because those are stupid and they annoy me greatly. Everyone on social media doing an April Fool's gag, you're like, okay, like everything already on the internet is kind of bullshit. But like today, really? I got to just like constantly remember that like.

We get it. It's April fools. You figured it out. Okay. Whatever. What's everyone doing? How's everyone living? You guys living?

Yesterday was Easter, which is kind of funny. I wonder if when Jesus came back to life and to the disciples, they were like, if Judas was like, is this an April Fool's joke? Maybe that's how it started. I don't know. Probably not. That's probably blasphemous and people are going to be upset that I said that, but it was a joke. This is episode 300, I think. Yowza. We've been doing this show for a very long time. Wow. Well, let's a very long time. Wow. Well, let's not waste any time. Let's call her up.

It's time to call her up. It is time. We've done this show for so long. Hello? Hello. Is this thing on? That thing's on. New hair, don't care?

What? No. Your hair looks short. No, it's because it's behind me. Hold on a second. Oh. No, it's just, it was styled yesterday. Oh, yes. For the KB show. So, you know, and it's funny, I really, I always love like a day after look, you know, where it's like, it looks like you slept on it, but in a good way. Yeah.

I got that going for me today. That's good. How was the KB show? You know what? It was great. And it really just makes me think that we should do live podcast shows. Okay. I'll do it.

I like how you say this so nonchalantly, but then when we start the emails, you're like, well, how much money am I making? Well, that is important. Why don't we plan like two? Let's do Nashville and L.A la so we don't really have to i don't know about la can we sell tickets there i don't know actually i don't think nashville let's just do nashville yeah then you don't have to do anything no it's we need to have some sort

of give and take here it needs to be nashville what about it'd be canada then we need work permits and it's a whole freaking thing also canada i found out because i'm playing so many shows there this year canada just goes ahead and takes 25 out of your paycheck just right away for canadian taxes fucking canadians so you try to make money canada is not the place yeah hey can Yeah. Hey, Canada. I just need you to shut the fuck up, cause nobody asks you bitch. I need you to shut the fuck up, bitch. Shut the fuck up, bitch. Shut, shut the fuck up, bitch. Shut

the fuck up, bitch. Bow, bow. Anyways. Yeah. That's annoying. But yeah, let's do a show. Well, I've got us locked for Nashville if you want to do it. Sure. Tell me when. Okay, great. Today us locked for Nashville if you want to do it. Sure, tell me when. Okay, great. Today's April Fool's Day. I fucking hate April Fool's Day. I was just saying that to the YFTers.

It's the most annoying thing because you're like, everyone on Instagram and social media is like, memes are now outlawed. April, you're like, okay. Stupid. I know. Yeah, I hate it.

I've told this story before, but my sister, years and years ago, played an awful prank on me where she told me she was pregnant. Yeah. She was very young, and it wasn't funny. And I'm scarred now. Yeah. I've told this story before, but I got April Fool's when I was in college and i was i was like seeing i wasn't even dating her i was just kind of hooking up with her and she freaking april fools me and told me she was pregnant i was like oh god and this is back in the days that's mean i know it's one thing to do it to

your sister but to your yeah and i was on the road because i was we were on a rugby trip and i was like driving back and the internet or the cell phone reception kept going in and out. So I didn't know that it was an April fool's thing until I got back. So it was like six hours of me just being like, well, my life's over. And then I definitely didn't never hooked up with her again. That was the end of that.

How to lose a guy in one day. Yeah. Sorry. That was the end of that. How to lose a guy in one day. Yeah. Sorry. That was, that was tough. Anyways, April Fool's Day is annoying, but I was making the joke that like, I wonder if when Jesus came back to life, Judas was like, is this an April Fool's joke? You know, it's kind of a funny joke. I don't think they had it then.

No. You know, it's funny. I went to church with my mom. You did? Yeah, because It was Easter, you know, and I went to church. Okay. Listen, I could, you know, it meant something to my mom and I'm happy to, you know. Well, how was it? Did you, um, did you learn anything? Well, so it's so interesting because like when I used to go to church, I really never listened to the gospels and the homilies. I just was like, totally like,

I don't give a shit, you know? But now that I'm older, I'm like, well, I'm back. I want to listen to see what this guy has to say. Like what?

Yeah. Why not? What I took away from it was so funny because, uh, so, you know, he, he,

Jesus comes back to life and all his disciples are, they think he's a ghost. And he's like, I'm not a ghost and you can touch me. And he has the disciples put their hands into his wound on his side. He got stabbed and then blood and water came out. And so that part I thought was interesting. I was like, Jesus, you might've been the son of God, but like, that sounds like an infection waiting to happen. Because, you know, like they're all fishermen, you know,

they got stinky hands. I would say if you conquered death, that you're not worried about a little infection. I guess. But like, what are we teaching, you know, people going forward that you can just stick your fingers into wounds. Yeah. So the whole homily was about that.

And it was about how we all care around wounds and yada, yada, about that. And it was about how we all care around wounds and yada, yada, yada. And it was, it was lovely. But the other thing that he says when he comes back to life or he's talking to his disciples is he says, do you have any food? And they give him some baked fish. The priest was like, what did you find was interesting in that thing? He's like, stick your these fisherman fingers into my wound that's what everyone found interesting not me not this guy i was like you come back to life and your first thought is i'm hungry can i have some fishies like i just well i just said that interesting like if you do you need to eat you're you you're you've been dead and you came back to life and you're

hungry yeah think about like when you sleep for a long time and back to life and you're hungry yeah think about like when you sleep for a long time and you wake up and you're like oh i'm so starved yeah to me that's just such a funny thing that they put in the bible it's like he was like you guys you guys got some grub well you know they're sitting there and they're like we got to make this relatable yeah yeah yeah you know and also, listen, if I just died and you motherfuckers didn't help me get down from that cross or whatever, all you got is baked fish, okay? Can we get something better over here? Some matzo ball soup, maybe?

I just want some bread, you know, like carbs. Yeah, some, you know, some, like, lox and cream cheese, you know, some latkes. I'm just going through all the things that I know are Jewish foods because JC was Jewish. I forgot. Yeah. But what's so funny about Easter is, do you know why Easter changes every year? It's got to be on a Sunday. The date changes every year. So it has to, it's the first full moon after the spring equinox, which is a pagan. Like it's not even close to being some sort of Catholic thing. That's just straight up paganism, which I think is so funny that all these, all these holidays that, that we have, they're just stolen from, from paganism. Like Christmas is like, which I think is hilarious. And then I was thinking about that the entire time I was at church

because there's a big part of like incense. There's a lot of incense that's happening at church. And I was like, this seems like some hippy dippy shit. You know, like I feel like some sort of like yurt about to like do some fucking sound bathing and I got some incense being thrown at me. But no, we're talking about, what's that? That sounds nice.

Yeah, it was. Anyways, I went to a really lovely church, actually. I quite enjoyed it. I drive past all the time. It's right by your mom's house, St. Charles. Is it the really like elaborate one? Yeah, Moorpark. It's beautiful. I know exactly what you're talking about. It's gorgeous. I drive past all the time and I'm like, well, if I ever go to church, I'm going to go to that one. So then I took my mom there and she's like, wow, this church is beautiful. I was like, I know. Anyways, I went to church because I am a good boy. Right, right, right. Yeah.

So anyways, did you have a nice Easter? Yeah. I mean, it's been with KB. Yeah. Down in the ATL, you know? Wow. Yeah. I just didn't really think about like, hey, this is Easter when I signed up for this, you know?

Because I don't, I feel like if you're, I like went on a rant earlier about holidays because it seems to me that once you're an adult, holidays just don't count, right? Like holidays are kind of for kids. And unless you have kids, I just don't think you really get to celebrate the same way because like I have to fucking work on holidays. You work on holidays. We podcast a lot of times on holidays. Like adults have to continue on with life on holidays. And there's of times on holidays like adults have to continue on with life on holidays yeah and there's like people i hear like adults being like yeah yeah it's spring break so i'm like going on vacation you're not in school you don't get to spring break so it's just a kids thing yeah easter like fine go to church and then like continue on with your shit like unless you

have kids kids you know need the easter egg hunts and the painting of the eggs and stuff fine get it totally get it for the kids but if you're no kids like sorry you don't you don't get to just cop out on life because it's a holiday there's too many of them but if you do have kids and you do get to go on the spring break thing so what are you gonna do you got the you got these assholes back at home you know i guess that's the perk to having kids because there's a lot of cons yeah i guess like one of the perks is you get to really hone in on the holidays yeah Yeah, I guess that's true. I think holidays are just whatever. It's just another, she used to get drunk.

Yeah. We went to the club yesterday for Easter. The club? The club. The country club. My mother would like you to take her there, by the way. Okay. She was like, can Wells take me like sometime as his guest?

And I was like, yeah, I'm sure. Yeah, anytime. She wants to check it out. Yeah. I don't know why. She doesn't golf. She doesn't drink. You can't smoke weed there, I'm guessing. Like, anytime. She wants to check it out. Yeah. I don't know why. She doesn't golf. She doesn't drink. You can't smoke weed there, I'm guessing.

Like, what's she going to do there? Yeah. There was a petting zoo? Hmm. Okay, your life is a petting zoo, so, like, this isn't a question. Yeah, I don't like petting zoos, so. Oh, my God. Did I have the best time at the petting zoo?

I'm sure. Oh, my goodness. Okay, so you walk in and they give you a solo cup full of food, right? Like hay and like chopped up carrots and stuff. They had three alpacas. Cute. They had two calves. Very cute.

They had so many goats. Sometimes the goats are mean though. They'd come and like ram people. Goats are little shits, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A bunch of lambs. Love a little lamb. One rooster that was just

and all day long, like he knew his job and he was nailing it. A bunch of chicks, a bunch of bunny rabbits, two camels. What? It was,

I know it was for kids, but it was the most fun thing I've done in a very long time, was hang out. Look at all my Instagram stories. I did videos of it. My thing with petting zoos is like, I feel like typically the quality of life of those animals is not great.

Really? Outside of the said petting zoo. I mean, I'm sure there's exceptions to that rule. But yeah, don't love it. Like camels aren't really supposed to be like in a little like pen, read a pet, you know? Yeah.

They do camel rides at the place. They said, don't like that either. Yeah. But you ride a horse every day. So it's different. Is it though? Yeah.

It's different. Have you seen the way they get camels down hills in like the middle East or whatever? I have not. So they make the camels walk up this hill, you know, with all the stuff or whatever, and then they have like, it's like a zip line back down, and they put them in like this big, I don't know, sling,

and they put goggles over its eyes, and they shove them down the thing. I definitely don't like that. I know. Also, that poor camel only knows what it's like to walk uphill. He's never gotten the joy of gravity making life easier for him. Duh. Poor camel.

I know. Other big news. This is our 300th episode. Oh, this is the one? I think so. Cool. Are we going to do something or like now? I think that we said maybe on Wednesday we would do like an Instagram live.

Oh, like a quickie Instagram Live, yeah. Well, that's what you wanted to do. The original thought was we were going to listen to the first episode of the show. I thought we were doing that, too. We can do that. So maybe this is what we'll do. If you're listening to this, you want to do it on Wednesday or you want to do it on Thursday? We never really decided.

No, we didn't really. I guess we need to do it after this episode comes out so they know about it. Yeah, well, let's make a decision. And so this comes out on Wednesday. Yeah. I could do Thursday. I have to leave really early the next month. Yeah, okay. It's gonna be like 45 minutes, bro. That long?

I don't... Yeah, I think so. No, an Instagram Live is like 10 minutes. Okay. You are too... I feel like we've gotten to the point now, Brandy, where you're too busy for this show. I am fucking busy. All right. Maybe this is the 300th of the last episode. You're the one that keeps saying that, not me.

I'm just saying. I am really fucking busy, though. Okay. Well, we'll try to carve out. Look at this calendar. It's out of control. We'll try to carve out a couple minutes for the YFTers on Thursday. Yeah, like a hot 10.

It's great. A hot 10. A hot 10 mins. Yeah. It's so funny. I was thinking about it. So we've done 300 episodes. So conventional wisdom would state that we've done this show for six years

because if you do 52 episodes a year effectively, but that's not true because the first two years of this show. oh yeah we did like what every other week we did bi-monthly bi-monthly yeah we did two a month i think oh two yeah every other week yeah bi-monthly okay yeah i was thinking like every other month i was like nah no no no no so yeah we have got to have been doing this show for seven or eight years now. 2016? Did we start it in 2016? I think earlier. I went on Bachelorette on 2016, and I feel like the thought was...

Oh, so yeah, right when you came back. Right when we came back. You're right. Anyways, wow. What a... Very long time. What a long, strange trip it's been, man. Mm-hmm.

But we love the YFTers. We really do. I met a lot of them last night. There were some at KB's show. Yeah? Yeah. All right. Well, that's nice of them.

And they were like, hell, Wells, we need a live podcast. And I was like, I tell him. I know. And I'd be so good at it because I am very entertaining in person. You know? I mean.

Yeah. How do you think you'd be good at it? You could DJ it. No. You can't afford me. Beep, beep, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Dzz, dzz, dzz, dzz, dzz, woo. We'll let you DJ.

Fine. Great. Terrible crossovers, crossfades. Just a bunch of really sad music. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's just Conor Oberst on repeat. Nice.

Should we start the show? Should we start the 300th episode? Yeah. Would you like to do the honors, my darling? Sure. Please. The floor is yours. Bros and hoes. You're listening to the 300th episode of Your Favorite Thing Podcast with...

Wells and Brandy. We've done way too many of these episodes. I can't believe anybody listens. I can't either, but God bless them, you know. God bless them. God bless them.

What podcast do you listen to? Select episodes of Call Her Daddy. Yeah, a lot of people like Call Her Daddy. Can you listen to our show so we can get... Well, sometimes because I have our show saved and favorited or whatever and like auto download and all that stuff. So like I listened to the Brittany Snow episode

of Call Her Daddy which was great by the way. Oh yeah, there was some drama there. Yeah, and I missed all that because I miss everything. Yeah. So it was very interesting and I really like her

and I didn't know much about her really. Be Snow? Anyway, I listened to that and then it bled into our episode. Nice. After, you know, just like auto queues you up with the next one. Beesnow? Anyway, I listened to that and then it bled into our episode. Nice. After, you know, just like auto-chews you up with the next one. What shows better? Call Her Daddy or Your Favorite Thing Podcast?

I mean... This is an ad for Call Her Daddy. I saw that like Beesnow was like saying, you know, yeah, my ex-husband or whatever was like definitely doing things he shouldn't have been doing with a reality TV star. And then that reality TV star, I don't even know who it is. The girl was like, can you imagine recording a podcast in your dirty city while I'm literally in Lake Como waiting for a massage. Get over yourself. And it was like, ah!

Isn't that fucking girl on Selling Sunset or some shit? Let me tell you something. So you're going to take a dig at the esteemed actress with an insane, insane resume on IMDb, by the way. I looked it up. With real talent. You're going to take a dig at her, and you're famous for being on reality television that most people don't even watch i've never seen an episode cool cool cool which by the way i was i was talking to someone recently about selling sunset and they're like i was like do they sell anything and they're like no they don't do

shit this and i'm like okay well can i be on this show then i don't If I don't have to do anything, I get paid for it. First of all, career reality TV people have fucking no shame, dude. No, I know. I mean, I feel like you have to have no shame to make it doing it. You know what I mean? You just have to have that personality. Totally. To survive it.

Yeah. And I guess to be somewhat interesting, that's such a shitty thing to say but like i'm sure that's like gonna be a good storyline on the show i guess i don't know i guess anywho anywho i saw that gary and theresa still haven't moved in with one another i know what i think that's great. Who gives a shit? I'm all about separate spaces, sleep in different rooms if you want to, have different houses. Great. I love it. Yeah. Okay. I think it's great.

I do think you need two different rooms of your house that is yours. I have my office. Sarah has the rest of the house. No, she actually has her office. But the weather's not sure. Now she's been on the patio a lot. She's stuck the flag in the ground and claimed this land.

Tara, Sarah. The bachelor's over. We're happy for Joey. Very. You know, he seems like he's in a good space, you know? I seem great. Yep. Kelsey started following me on Instagram.

I saw that. Can she come on the pod? I love her. Sure. Weey on too i suppose i'm sure i just think she's so cool it's so funny like what i want to talk to her about is new orleans and restaurant recommendations that's what i want to talk to her about i don't really care about her experience on the show and oh all that kind of stuff I want her hair tips. Yeah, right? God, how do I get that hair? Well, you just don't have as much body. I don't have as much hair.

I have like five hairs on my head. I know. I saw something, because like whatever on my For You page it was like, is Maria the next Tyler Cameron? And she's too big for being the bachelorette. And she's going to have this whole other career. What? Tyler has a career?

That's a... I love you, Tyler, but... I like him, too, but... That was a funny joke. I don't want to call it a career. I think that's a terrible take. Yeah. I guess, other than me, and KB, and Nick, has anyone done something big outside of the

Bachelor world? And like Ben, I guess. Rachel. Yeah. Well, she was a lawyer. Now she's a correspondent. Yeah, okay. It's just really hard to do.

You know, JoJo kind of. Yeah. She and Jordan have a show. I've never seen it, but. Yeah. But really what she does, I think, is like flips houses and stuff, which is what she did beforehand with her family. They just turn it into a show, I guess.

I guess. But that show didn't take off she did like some like divorce a reality tv dating show yeah jordan actually is probably the best example of that being such a huge sportscaster i guess what i'm trying to say is it's just really really hard to like make it out and do something else after that and like the thought of like i think i'm too big for this who's to say that any of this is true but i saw that on my instagram feed she thinks she's the next tyler cameron okay maybe we'll see but you also just might be on like the fifth season of fuck boy island you know oh yeah you know i don't see it i't know. I can see her going on that show. Yeah.

Who knows? There's a new one. It was supposed to be called Fuckgirl Island, but I don't think that they wanted it to be called that, so it's called Lovers and Liars. But it's the same thing? Yeah, hosted by... Alon's doing it?

Alon's doing it. Nikki Glaser's hosting it. Bill Dixon's EP in it I believe So anyways, rooting for that one That's cool Do you have some fave things bro? I don't think I do Okie dokie

I've been busy This is why I keep asking if you want to do this show Yeah I do, I just want you to watch all the stuff There is some work that goes into doing this show. Wait, let me think about it. Luckily, I've got

some stuff. I feel like I watched something new. I wanted to ask you this. You mentioned that you did want to watch it. Did you end up watching The Gentleman? I know. I haven't started it. You're going to love it. Everyone you end up watching The Gentleman? I know. I haven't started it. You would love it. You're going to love it.

Oh, really? Everyone's told me it's not good. Oh, it's fucking amazing. Oh, okay. I mean, I think it is. It's stereotypical Guy Ritchie. And it is similar. Okay, well, I like Guy Ritchie.

Yeah, and it's similar to, because, you know, The Gentleman was a movie. The movie. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When aristocratic Eddie inherits the family estate, he discovers that it's home to a huge weed empire and its proprietors aren't going anywhere.

The Gentleman. Theo James is fantastic in this. I've been on the Theo James train for so long. Yeah. He's very, very good. He's very likable. He's the son that gets the inheritance.

And it's supposed to go to the oldest son, which is the character's name is Freddy, played by this guy named Daniel Ings, who is so fucking funny. He is so good in this. Okay. Highly recommend. Vinnie Jones is in it. Jolie Richardson, who you've seen before in a lot of stuff. Really a great cast. How far in are you?

I think four episodes in. Okay. It's great. No complaints. Very highly recommended. You're the one who brought it out, so I thought that that was something that you might have had watched and just forgotten about. No, you know, I kept wanting to start it, but I've had a few people be like, yeah, the first episode's good. And then it gets kind of boring.

So I'm like, oh, shit. Well, maybe not then. Because I thought the movie was pretty good. Yeah. And it's hard when you take a really great movie and try to turn it into a show. Sometimes that doesn't work out well. I think it's a prelude to what the movie is. Oh, so it's not exactly the same?

I think it's like the story of the family before the movie i think that makes it better anyways i really really liked it but not as much as i loved the three body problem okay is it good fan wait did you finish it yes wow that's why i feel kind of bad because i really only watched it. I didn't diversify my watching because I just got obsessed with it. Really? Yes. Okay. I watched the preview and I was like.

A fateful decision made in 1960s China reverberates in the present where a group of scientists partner with a detective to confront an existential planetary threat, three body problem on Netflix. So I read this book and this book was too much for me. I remember being very confused a lot and I thought it was very dense and I was interested to see how they would be able to pull this off. Now it's the guys that did Game of Thrones who are making this. So it's very well done. The cast is great. And there's a lot of people from Game of Thrones on the show.

Really? Yeah, like Liam Cunningham. He's big in this. Benedict Wong is in it. He's in the Marvel Universe with Doctor Strange. Isa Gonzalez. Oh, yeah. She's in it.'s in like the marvel universe um with dr strange isa gonzalez oh yeah she's in it she's cool jess hong is kind of like the star of the show and there's this other guy named will downing who's played by this amazing actor named alex sharp i kept on saying to sarah i was like he is

such a good actor and he's not doing anything, but he's so good. And she's like, yeah, he's just fully in it and very subtle. And then, oh yeah, you know who else is in it? Jonathan Pryce, who played the Sparrow in Game of Thrones. So it's great. And I'll kind of give you a little bit of a rundown of kind of what it is. So in 1960s communist China, this family of a rundown of kind of what it is so in 1960s communist china

this family of scientists are accused of being like heretics because they like believe in evolution and physics and stuff and they so they kill the father and the mother like completely like betrays the family and the daughter gets sent to like kind of concentration camps i guess but she is such a like amazing scientist, they send her to this, this kind of like lab in China, where they're sending out signals into space, she comes in contact with alien race, she finally comes in contact with them. And the alien race responds and is like, do not contact us again. We are not a peaceful people, you are in danger if they find this out and she's like dealing with

communist russia and kind of being like treated like a piece of and she was like she's kind of like it come on let's go and then it fast forwards to like now and all these physicists scientists start killing themselves and dying and you're like what's going on and there's kind of like one group of physicists who are all working together kind of like at a at one of those like the cern laboratories where they you know speed up protons and you know make them collide and stuff they're getting like weird results and stuff and they kind of band together and they start figuring out what's going on and there's a kind of a big like virtual reality portion of the whole thing i don't want to give too much away but basically it's like we've contacted aliens and they're coming it is so good i loved it two thumbs

way up high wow i really i would go watch it again i really really liked it really and what i loved about it is you're getting another season like it ends and you're like, we have to have more. I like that. I do too. Really liked it. Yeah. I remember what I watched. Okay, good.

It's called Manhunt, which that's already been a show, but it's on Apple Plus. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, I think I watched this. Oh, you did? It's about the JFK assassination. One of the guys from Masters of the Air is in it. He plays John Wilkes Booth. Oh.

You didn't talk about it? Yeah, you said the JFK assassination. Oh, sorry. Different. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't do it. I'm sleeping. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Different president who was assassinated. You have seen it? I have not seen it. Thoughts? It didn't grasp me. Wow. I know. The aftermath of the first American presidential assassination and the fight to preserve and protect the ideals that were the foundation of Lincoln's reconstruction plans.

Manhunt. Anthony Boyle is in it yes yeah who was that's who you're talking about yeah yeah he was in uh sarah's dad's play um on broadway very cute harry potter love that um yeah i don't know i don't know if i just like watched it at like a time maybe when i was too tired and wasn't engaged i don't know if i just like watched it at like a time maybe when i was too tired and wasn't engaged i don't know but like it just wasn't grasping me and i was really disappointed about that because i was kind of excited about this show yeah but i also just really wish they had come up with a different name because there's that whole manhunt series on netflix that is so good i don't know i might give it one more shot. How many episodes did you get in? Just one. I'll watch it.

Sarah's going to want to watch it because of Anthony. I love him. I loved him in Masters of the Air. He plays a very different role in this, which is cool. Yeah. Okay. And speaking of just Apple Plus, did you finish Constellation?

No, I didn't. Okay. Didn't love it, huh? I don't want to ruin it for you because you should finish it. Here's what I think. I think they gave away too much too soon to where the ending was like very anticlimactic. And like, I feel like we figured everything out we needed to like two or three episodes before it was over.

And then like the last the, the last episode, like just didn't deliver anything new. Didn't pack a punch. There was no twist. There was no, it was just kind of like, that was it. Yeah.

I want to finish that one. Cause I really liked the first couple episodes of that. I did too. Yeah. Okay. So I finally finished tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. Oh yeah. I saw your post about this.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I usually like don't ever do that cause I want to save it for the show. But then I'm like, there's a lot more people that follow me than listen to this show. So maybe, who the fuck cares, you know? Anyways, have you finished it?

I haven't yet. Oh, okie dokie. I know. Well, I loved that book. Absolutely loved it. I was like making excuses to go on walks so I could listen to it. It's so, like the end is like... That's what Absolutely loved it. I was like making sure you should just like go on walks so I could listen to it. It's so like the end is like. That's what I've heard.

It gets you. It gets you. But it's not. You said your friend Kirsten said it was sad. It is sad. Yeah. But like the end didn't like break my heart. I was like, oh, I felt positive.

Positive. Oh, okay. I think she was like teary when she was finishing reading it. I was like, are you good, finishing reading it i was like i was good bro i i cried at the end that's how i know i know i love a book is when it gets me to cry and i'm like this is a book i saw something you know that like say the weird thing we're desperately you know wanting realness and someone's like reading a book is really just like looking at symbols and hallucinating i'm like that's so very true and what's even crazier is that then it makes you cry and you're like i'm just looking at

symbols i'm hallucinating and this is so sad um i don't cry you don't have feelings though yeah i do you don't have yeah i love my azzy girl so much oh yeah and all my animals that's the only thing that brings you joy yeah and bread bread yeah like food i know bread is pretty good i'm actually kind of a foodie are you like in the sense of like when i'm traveling for instance like one of my favorite things about traveling is like trying the food and like going out to like the place and like getting the thing and like you know i just i'm like kind of a foodie yeah in that way that's good good for you yeah you should be yeah yeah i love that um we went to stk last night you ever been to an stk sound tribe sector nine no oh what the fuck is that sound Soundtribe STS9.

Oh. Soundtribe, what did you say? Soundtribe Sector 9. You don't know about Soundtribe Sector 9? You're a DJ and you don't know about Soundtribe? No. Well, they're a band. Oh.

No, this is a steakhouse. Was it good? It's a chain. Oh, okay. It's like a restaurant, but like kind of a club vibe. Like they play club music and it's really dark and like, I don't know. It's got vibes. Not typically a certain place I would go, but it was the only thing open last night.

So we went. If you find yourself going to STK, because I think it's a pretty popular spot. Yeah. The best thing on the menu, the mac and cheese. Holy fucking shit. It was so fucking good. Yeah. Mac and cheese is always good

at a steak joint always good but like was there bacon in it no we got it with no there was an option for bacon and there or there was an option for lobster and we were like you know what i feel like we just want it original yeah and we made the right call and it was bomb as fuck because here's the thing at a steakhouse specifically it's all about the sides for me like i love like i want every side on the menu the sides are bomb so for the mac and cheese to be the best side on the menu pretty big deal and i would say at sdk it is the side to get what steak did you get i didn't get a steak i got a lobster pasta oh you went to a steak joint and got lobster. Bomb. Okay. Do you eat steak?

I do. Okay. It was a little late to be eating steak. Fair enough. It's like 9 p.m. Do you have a favorite cut of steak? Oh, I just always get a filet. I'm like a filet girly. That's the worst.

Just a little baby filet. That is the worst cut of meat. No, it's not. Yes, it is. Not if you go to the right place. It is the worst. It has no fat in it. That. Yes, it is. Not if you go to the right place. It is the worst. It has no fat in it. That's why I like it.

That's why I like it. Anytime I've ever gotten any other cut of steak anywhere, it's too fatty for me and I can't eat it. Oh, God. You don't know. Grosses me out. Rib eye, baby. No.

Rib eye. Absolutely not. Medium rare. Absolutely not. Oh, so you get your filet medium? Medium, yeah. How's your shoe leather taste? Guess how Tish gets her steak cooked.

I'm sure well done with ketchup on top. I'm sure it's like... Extra well. She wants it butterflied and charred. She can just take her belt off and eat it if she wants. Yeah. God. She's to the point where a lot of places we go have said to her, we won't,

we won't do that. Good for them. You know, she's like, but that's the only way I can eat it. And they're like, sorry, pick something else.

Yeah. That's so funny. It's so funny because she is, um, she's a rich person now, but she definitely still has some like trailer park in her still. Oh, absolutely. And she's proud of it.

Oh, yeah. She's proud of it. She's like that Reba McEntire song, Fancy. Here's a one chance fancy, don't let me down. Yep. You might have been born just plain mott trash, but fancy was your name. Here's a one chance fancy, don't live with that. That's a great song. By the way, speaking of

rich people who are really trailer park trash, Reba McIntyre. I used to wait on her at Brick Tops and she would always get the rotisserie chicken with, baby, can I get some ketchup? And she would slather ketchup on top of it, and I thought that was very interesting. So nasty. So gross, Reba McIntyre.

But also, I love Reba McIntyre but also I love I love Reba McIntyre she's the best yeah she's great she's the best speaking of food I do have a bone to pick with grocery stores okay do you get boar's head or private select sliced meat from the deli yeah if I go to Publix, absolutely. Okay, you know what I'm talking about. Totally. I'm not talking about like the process packaged like. Right. I'm talking about from the deli. Like you go to the counter and you say, I want this much of this and I want it sliced like this.

Exactly. Private Select, Boar's Head. Now what they have a lot is like kind of like a little station where they have like their most kind of popular ones already kind of bagged out and ready to go. Yes. Hey, grocery stores, let's stop putting the sticker over the Ziploc portion. Because every time you do that, I have to rip that part.

And then when I try to get the Ziploc thing over, I can't do it because there's two sides of the sticker still sticking up there. Can we figure out a way to ensure that it hasn't been opened, but also that I can open it down the road and close it to lock in freshness? Do you know what I'm talking about? Oh, yeah. Yeah, okay. So it's very frustrating. And then you try to peel it off and you rip the bag and then you're like, well, now it's fucking ruined.

True. True. I have a bone to pick. I have a bone to pick i have a bone to pick pick away hey boxed water companies huh yeah let's not trick everyone into thinking oh we're better for you no plastic we're sustainable. Like blah, blah, blah. All boxed water is lined on the inside with plastic that we don't see. Really? Did you know that? No.

I'm fucking devastated. Here I was thinking I finally found a water that tastes good, that's not in plastic. It's alkaline. It's good for me. I'm saving the planet. Wrong. Why don't they just put water in cans some sometimes i don't like the way the water tastes in a can i know but at least you can recycle aluminum i will say the

liquid death water does taste good oh does it one's in the can yeah that's the only can water i like i know it doesn't taste as good but it's definitely better for like the environment so we're just all gonna have to just deal with us we're all drinking microplastics like it's fucked up they should not be allowed to advertise like oh boxed water yeah lined with fucking plastic put it on the outside i want to read that shit i want to know i'm mad do you have a water filter for your house though yeah i do same with with me. I just carry my Yeti everywhere with me. Same, but I find myself in a lot of situations where... Yeah, when you're traveling.

Yeah, exactly. Or where all people fucking have are plastic bottles of water, like hotels and stuff, and it's frustrating. Let's get away from the plastic bottles. I'm really trying. I really try hard to not drink out of plastic at all. Yeah. But I was, even though I thought it was boxed. Oh God, you're a terrible person.

Yeah. Oh, someone sent me a new soundboard, um, submission. Oh, that's exciting. That I thought, I thought you might like this one. Okay, cool. I already like it. Is this on Spotify?
