starts, one of us finishes.
You're listening to Your Favorite
Thing Podcast with... Wells and
Brandy. Woohoo! Nailed it!
It's like we're a band. We are.
Okay. Maybe we
will be. This is episode two.
I know. Can you believe
We're an actual thing
Did you like episode one
I liked it a lot actually
And I'd like to think
I'm my own toughest critic
Yeah
Yeah
I thought it was really good
Like when I listened back to it
I was like oh yeah
That's good
I mean Noah
You know she's great
She's hilarious
We couldn't have had
A better first guess
I know I love how
In the beginning of the thing
I was like what do you think
Noah's favorite thing
Is going to be
And you're like It's going to be you.
And then she comes on and she's just like, I hate your outfit, just so you know.
Okay.
Cracker Barrel, Cracker Barrel, Cracker Barrel, Cracker.
Don't you remember in elementary school when you were taught that when girls like you, they're mean to you?
Yeah.
That's like knowing women 101.
Speaking of girls.
Oh, boy.
Episode one, we talked about your friend Liz, who you're going to try to hook me up with.
Do we have an update?
Yeah, I talked to her today and told her that we talked about her.
How did she feel about it?
She was flattered.
She was giggling.
I think she's probably listening to episode one right now.
Awesome.
She did tweet about it and everything before listening.
She tweeted about it?
Yeah, I hope those tweets don't get deleted after she listens.
But yeah, she remembered
you from the first time that I told her
that you thought she was hot a year ago.
Did she do the thing where she pulled out her phone
and was like, alright, let me check it out? No, because
I told you she is just
coming out of a relationship and she has
sworn off men for six months, which I think is
very healthy. She's a wounded bird.
And I'm just trying to bring her back to the world, you know?
Right.
Let's let her bring herself back, Wells, and then you can move in.
Who knows?
She might listen to the podcast and be like, that guy's hilarious.
I need to go on a date with him.
She really might.
That's very possible.
Or she might be like, this guy's a complete douche lord.
Keep him away from me.
Did you see that? I need to figure out douche lord. Keep him away from me.
Did you see that?
I need to figure out who it was.
I should know her name.
Somebody tweeted at us about this and said that Liz deserves better.
Why?
Because she deserves somebody that doesn't just want to make out with her.
Because you said last week, I just want to make out with her.
Well, I think that's fair.
That's crazy to be like, I want to get married to her and have babies.
That's a weird thing to say.
Okay, but there's a happy medium where you say, I would like.
That's not a misogynistic thing.
Girls like to make out with guys too.
They do.
They do.
But as you get older and more mature, you want less of the hookup, make out for fun thing and more of a serious thing.
Okay, I totally get that.
How old are you?
I'm 33 years old.
It's time, Wells.
I know, but I wasn't trying to come across as I only want to make out with her.
But you said it.
Those were your words.
I just said I want to make out with her.
You said I just want to make out with her. Right now, that's the thing because we might have great chemistry.
If not, then sometimes it doesn't work.
That's true.
You know, JoJo taught me that.
I wasn't a good maker-outer with her and she sent me a packing.
Maybe you friend-zoned yourself the entire season until the last day.
Can you imagine if I went on The Bachelorette now knowing what I know?
I would kill that thing.
You think?
I would kill it.
Well, maybe you should be The Bachelor.
No. Since we don I would kill it. Well, maybe you should be the Bachelor. No.
Since we don't have one yet.
I went on Ben Higgins and Ashley I's podcast the other day.
You did?
And Ben put me on the spot and he was like, oh, I've been hearing rumors you're going
to be the Bachelor.
And he's like, would you do it?
And I was like, man, come on.
I don't want to do that.
No?
No.
Well, he probably doesn't either, so he can't blame you.
He's done it. He knows what's going on. I know. He would No. Well, he probably doesn't either, so he can't blame you. He's done it. He knows
what's going on. I know, he would never go back, right?
It was just one of those things where it's just like,
ugh. The problem is that you have to bring
your family into it.
Which is number one of
a million zillion why I could never do it.
You get it.
Can you imagine hometowns with Brandi Cyrus?
No, because no one would be there
because no one would agree to go on it.
To my benefit, probably.
Billy Ray coming out and being like, what are your intentions?
You're dating how many girls?
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, that'd be bad.
I'm going to break your achy, breaky face right now, kid.
I don't know who would be more brutal about it, though.
My dad or Miley.
She's been pretty tough on some exes in in the past have you been
tough on some of her exes and and current boyfriends I was pretty tough on Liam before
they broke up you know like when they were younger and dating I was really hard on him but he
in my defense you know he was younger and he was a little bit more mature and now he's really just
grown into a lovely man I love Lily who's. Who's better looking, Liam or Chris?
I have only been around Chris in person once.
Honestly, they look identical.
Well, one's got blonde hair.
I feel like one's got brown hair.
No, Liam only has brown hair in the movie.
He has blonde hair.
I only know like Hunger Games.
Yeah, Hunger Games.
He's brunette.
And what's the- Thor. And Thor. Yeah, Hunger Games. He's brunette. And what's the... Thor.
And Thor. Yeah. Okay, first of all you have to watch Rush, which Chris is in.
It's fantastic. What is that about?
Great movie. It's the true
story of Nicky Louder,
the race car driver. Oh yeah, I've seen that.
It's such a great movie.
One of my favorite things. Ding, ding, ding.
I know, we gotta actually get him in the show.
But the guy that plays opposite of him, like the angry race car driver, whoever does that
does a really good job in that.
Yeah, they're all great.
Yeah, that's a good movie.
It's fantastic.
So anyway, but Liam and Chris look identical to me.
Even Luke.
There's a third one, you know.
He's in Westworld.
Did you know that?
No, but I love Westworld.
Love Westworld.
Who is he in Westworld?
I don't remember his character's name, but he works for Westworld. He's like one of. Did you know that? No, but I love Westworld. Who is he in Westworld? I don't remember his character's
name, but he works for Westworld.
He's like one of them. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and so I think they all three
look absolutely identical. Dude, I can't wait
for when Westworld comes back and we start talking about that
on the podcast. That's all we're going to be able to talk about.
Get out. I know. Alright, let's start
your favorite thing podcast.
What currently is your favorite thing?
Brandi Cyrus. I have a lot of things
to say this week as I'm prepared.
I'm going to start with
John Mayer because I saw
him last week. You went to the show?
I did. And it was my first John Mayer
concert, which is pretty insane because I've
listened to him since like, what, 8th grade?
And he's always been
like, it's weird when you would ask me who
my favorite artist is, I don't know that I would have ever said John Mayer
but I think being at the show
and realizing what an impact
every single one of his albums made on my
life like
it blew my mind it really did. What was that first record
coming out? Room for Squares
right? That record is
phenomenal. I've been listening to it this week
and I don't know I've also been listening
to some of his interviews and a couple of podcasts he's guested on. And he just is in this place
of life where I don't know, like he's able to appreciate it all. But I think he's kind of ready
for a transition. And so it's so interesting. It was interesting for me to be there and just see
like how brave he is to get up on stage and relive all those emotions every night singing those songs because those songs
make me feel things
that I kind of forgot about or whatever.
Can you imagine having actually written the song
and having to get up there and live through
those feelings every single night? I think it's so
cool that he does that. This song's about me sleeping
with Jennifer Love Hewitt. Oh my
gosh. This song's about me sleeping with
Jennifer Aniston. You know what? Did he
sleep with you?
I don't think he did.
I don't know.
I know he's got a good Rolodex, though.
He does, but he, I don't know, man.
He just feels so deeply and so much, and he has such a great way of writing about it.
It's insane.
Okay, so there was a time in which I think John Mayer wasn't cool.
I will freely admit that.
But-
It wasn't that he wasn't cool.
It was that his music was
maturing and changing and I don't know that people
don't really like change and
I don't know that people wanted to evolve with his
musical evolution. Let me just
say it from my perspective.
As the indie hipster kid. There was
a time, like in the beginning, he was
awesome. And then I feel like
Body is a Wonderland,
Craps are coming out. That's the greatest song ever.
And I think a lot of people
were like,
but okay.
So as a huge
Grateful Dead fan,
the fact that that dude
can fill into
Jerry Garcia's role
and like not do it
because by the way,
like Jerry,
for people that don't know,
Jerry Garcia was the
lead guitar player
for a band called
The Grateful Dead,
which is arguably
one of the greatest jam bands ever.
And he's probably in the Rolling Stone top five greatest guitarists of all time.
Yeah.
And he fills in for the since-passed-away Jerry Garcia, and he kills it.
A lot of people don't realize this, that John Mayer is one of the best guitar players alive
right now.
But if you see him live, you
realize it in a huge way. It's
really, really cool. Other thing I like about
John Mayer that I realized recently,
great Twitter follow.
So good, I know! Such a good Twitter
follow. I just started following after the concert
and I was like, I have not lived! What have I
been doing? And he's the best. I read one tweet
the other day that got me laughing. He was like,
ah, you know,
the extra time that I save
from using the app Waze
I use with my head between my legs
trying not to throw up.
Because you know Waze takes you
like all these different routes.
That's amazing.
Okay, here's the great thing
about following John Mayer on Twitter
is there's a little something
for everybody, right?
So he appeals to you because you think he's funny and that's your thing or whatever.
And it's funny because I screenshot a sappy tweet that I really loved of his because I wasn't going to say it.
It was my favorite John Mayer tweet that I've read so far.
And he does these Q&As like every night after the show, which is so freaking cool that he does that.
And so somebody wrote him and asked, how do I get over someone I have no chance with?
Oh, that's a good one.
That's great.
And that's a tough question.
If I was going to answer that question,
I'd probably sugarcoat it.
Oh, you've got a chance with anyone.
You know what I mean?
I wouldn't really know what to say.
And he says, just find comfort in the fact
that the part of you that feels burning desire
is working properly.
It's so good when it works. It's so true. So true. That's a great answer to that question. I'm blown away. True.
It's so true.
So true.
That's a great answer to that question.
I'm blown away.
Speaking of music, I kind of wanted to do this, okay?
And I don't know if we'll get in trouble for it, but I don't really care right now.
We'll just apologize later.
Yeah, exactly.
So I wanted to do my favorite song right now, okay?
And it's actually an older song.
This is a guy named Rick Brantley who is Nashville.
And he's writing buddies with one of my other good friends who you've met, David Bourne.
Yeah, I know David.
He has this record out that's called Lo-Fi.
Oh, that's cool.
And it's kind of, I'm not really a huge country guy, but this guy's kind of like the alt country or the outlaw country, the Sturgill, Simpson, Chris Stapleton kind of thing.

Anyways, this song I love because the hook
is so freaking good, okay? Okay. And I'll song I love because the hook is so freaking good, okay?
Okay.
And I'll just play it to the hook, and then I want to just talk about it for a bit.
Great.
But I just really like it.
Okay, so the hook is about these famous people or these famous things that had this horrible thing happen to them, right?
And he equates that to this woman that he's always coming back to.
Interesting.
It's kind of country, but...
I love his voice, though.
Do you?
It's got kind of like a Ryan Bingham rasp to it.
Yeah. We're damned if we do Lonely if we don't
I always say I'm gonna give you hope
But you know I won't
Right here
Cause Hemingway had 90 proof
Custer had a thousand soup
Red Sox traded off Babe Ruth
Napoleon had Waterloo
You got me, baby, I got you
Come on, right?
That's great, yeah.
Isn't that really good?
My dad would love that song.
Oh, it's just really like, I don't know, when I heard it, it took me a while because I was like, what's he saying?
He says Hemingway had 90 proof, okay, he's an alcoholic.
Custer had a, I couldn't hear what he said and then I realized it was Custer had a thousand sue.
And then the Red Sox traded off Babe Ruth.
It was like, oh, I love it.
So anyways, right now that's my favorite song.
Yeah, I dig that.
I like songs where someone was clearly very intentional about the lyrics.
I'm a big lyric person when I listen to music.
And so for me, I'd rather listen to something
that someone really put some thought and feeling into
and was intentional with what they're saying.
We've done 15 minutes of a podcast,
and we haven't talked about one who our guest is today.
I know.
I accidentally spilled the beans on my Instagram story.
Did you?
Yeah.
Well, spill the beans now.
Okay.
Evan Bass is our guest this week, guys.
Obviously, he got married on national television.
I know.
I have so many questions.
Yeah.
Obviously, I was in the wedding.
I have so many questions.
He is literally my favorite person from all the people that I've met.
That's saying a lot.
You met a lot of people on the show.
I did.
And there's actually a lot.
As full of douchebaggery as that world is, I do have a lot of friends from it.
That's awesome.
I know.
That's honestly, as somebody that watches it and has somehow become friends with a lot of the people on the show, that's something that I really love about it. That's awesome. I know. That's honestly, as somebody that watches it and has somehow become friends
with a lot of the people on the show, that's
something that I really love about it and might be
my favorite part is how everybody really
bonds through it. Like all these girls date
one guy and come out of it all being best
friends even though no one got the guy kind of thing.
And then even just on Bachelor in Paradise
watching episode one, the thing
I noticed the most was the guys
were more excited to see each other than they were to see which girls were there.
It's funny.
There was a lot of directive from producers because I kind of was living on both sides
because I was the bartender, but I was also like a part of that world, you know?
Yeah.
So there was a lot of directive from producers being like, go tell them to stop talking to
guys and talk to the girls.
Seriously, there was even like PDA, like romance PDA happening.
We were like, what is going on?
Iggy's like, Dean's here!
He was way too excited for Dean, way too excited.
Okay, so before Evan gets here, because we're obviously going to probably talk about the wedding a lot.
For sure we are.
Do you want to talk about Paradise?
Yeah, a thousand percent.
Okay.
I didn't spend four hours watching television this week for nothing.
Initial thoughts.
How about this?
Your favorite thing so far about Paradise.
Yeah, my favorite thing so far.
Well, I was going to bring up, because one of my favorite parts about Bachelor in Paradise
are the intros, like the opening credits.
Yeah.
And so I wanted to see who your favorite was on the opening credits, because I have a few
faves.
Oh, okay.
I can say mine first, since I've thought about this.
Yeah, yeah, say yours first, because I have to think about it.
So it's kind of a three-way tie between Amanda, Vinny, and Taylor, and it's because they all
three make fun of themselves a little bit.
It's callbacks to other breakups and stuff.
Well, yeah, And Taylor's reading the
Emotional Intelligence book, which I think is hilarious.
And the end of the pizza after
Amanda and then Vinny and the lamp.
And especially for Vinny, he was heartbroken, so it's
probably not easy for him to make fun of that
scenario, but they were my favorites
and I thought they killed it. It's so funny.
A little behind the scenes stuff.
The executive producer is a guy named
Alon Gale. He just followed me
on Twitter. I feel special. Did he really? Yeah.
Hey Alon, let's be friends.
Alon is
a genius. He's like one of
those guys that like
it's intimidating how smart he is
because he does everything.
I don't know if you know this. He owns
Tinder Nightmares and
Text From Your Ex. Oh, what?
And Inspirational.
All those things he does.
He's written a couple best-selling books.
He's a stand-up comedian.
That's crazy.
And then he produces arguably a cultural phenomenon and best reality TV show out there.
But he produces all three of them.
That's crazy.
And I think he's the only EP that produces all three of them. That's crazy. And I think he's the only EP that produces all three of them,
and Paradise was his baby.
Anyways, so like I was telling you, I lived on both sides,
so I would talk to Elan a lot because I didn't live there.
So I needed someone to give me context every time I walked on set.
This is what's happening.
Lacey's crying about her grandfather.
Go console her.
Because I wasn't there, so I didn't know that her grandfather
had passed away.
And so he lived on set,
and I'd walk past his freaking little room,
his little hut,
and he had this black neoprene suit
with a pizza on it,
and I walked by,
and every day I was like,
what the fuck is that?
So is it him in the suit, right?
Yes, it's a lot.
Yes, I love knowing that.
Okay, hold on. That's great. I just got a text. I just got a text from Evan. I got to go it him in the suit, right? Yes, it's a lot. Yes, I love knowing that. Okay, hold on.
That's great.
I just got a text.
I just got a text from Evan.
I got to go out front and get him, okay?
Okay, bye.
Okay, bye.
Are you like pausing it or?
Yeah, I'm going to pause.
Unless you want to just like keep going.
No, no, no.
All right, boys and girls.
America's favorite erectile dysfunction doctor.
Evan Bass is in the studio.
Hello.
How are you, buddy?
I'm fantastic.
So last night you were on TV.
Yeah.
You got married on TV.
I know.
How weird is that?
It was super weird.
I mean, it was like, first of all,
there was like no way that that was ever supposed to be me.
Like that's not how any producer or anybody at ABC was ever like, I think Evan will be one of the ones that makes it to a marriage ceremony on our show.
No.
So it was like kind of a dream to be like, you know, screw everyone.
I'm, you know, screw the haters.
Here I am getting married on TV.
And then obviously it was just really cool to just be able to share it with everyone.
And, you know, obviously you were there, you were in it, and it was amazing.
Some of the things you said were really touching.
I was worried as a friend of yours and as a friend of Carly's,
I was worried that it would come across inauthentic.
Not because your guys' love isn't authentic, but because there's cameras.
Oh, you mean the entire wedding?
Yes, and like when you watched it on TV or like when I was there. That's what my
biggest concern was, is this
going to seem Hollywood?
Albeit like, yes, there were cameras there
and sound guys and lighting and everything.
It seemed, when I was in it,
it seemed like the most genuine, like
beautiful ceremony. And funny
too. Like there was a lot of funny moments.
Then watching it back. So I'm
going to say it. You cried?
I've never cried on The Bachelorette or Bachelor in Paradise.
I cried at his wedding.
I was waiting for one of them to zoom in on me.
I was just like, oh, God.
I cried when I was up there.
Then last night I was watching with my sister.
When you say, she's going to be the cutest little old lady in the world I was just like oh my god that is the best line ever anyways I'm so
happy it's not a line he means it um but I thought it was so sweet when her mom was talking about you
it was really that was probably the moment that touched me the most was um just seeing her mom
say such you know highly said things about you.
And she just seemed to really think that, I don't know, it was just the perfect fit
and it was everything she could have wanted for a daughter.
And that's the most you could ever hope to hear my mom say.
It was really cool.
It was so sweet.
I obviously cried the whole time.
Really?
I didn't see you cry at all.
Well, watching it back, Carly doesn't cry.
I was begging her to like, please, can you cry at the wedding? In general, is she not a crier? I cry. Like, I had to, I was, like, begging her to, like, please, can you
cry at the wedding? In general, is she, like, not a crier? I'm not either.
I was like, I don't care if you have to do, like, fake tears.
Like, whatever it takes. That's so funny. That would
be me. I would definitely not cry at all. Yeah, I'm like,
and so I'm like, you know, waterworks are going.
And last night, I'm like, you know, she's like, are you crying?
And I'm, like, trying to hide behind a pillow. Like,
don't look at me. I don't want to see you.
What a cool thing that your guys' wedding
video is, like like on iTunes.
Yeah.
You know?
That's ridiculous.
I think it's pretty cool, actually.
Yeah.
It's awesome.
Yeah.
My only regret, like the biggest bummer that I've got is that they didn't film the reception
because the reception was so far.
That's what I was going to ask about is was there a reception?
Did you guys have a separate one when you got back? Or was that just it?
Well, we had one there.
We're going to have one this weekend.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, no, the reception was worth the price of admission for sure.
Wells delivered an amazing speech.
Oh, man, see, that's what I want to see on TV.
I got like 30 seconds of it.
Someone took like a video of 30 seconds of his speech.
I'm like, man, can we just get the whole thing?
Someone's got to have it.
Ashley, I.
She's for sure got it.
I don't know if anyone's got it.
Someone's got it.
But I memorized it, so I got it up in the noodle.
If you ever want me to deliver the Evan wedding speech, I got you.
You got it.
I got you.
But your kids gave the most heartfelt speech.
It was just a really, really beautiful.
And what's funny is I had just come from my brother's wedding, which I thought
was amazing in Napa.
And I was like, there's no way I'm going to be able to top
this Napa wedding for my brother
who I was the best man for.
Oh, my brother doesn't listen to this. But anyways, I was just
like, this wedding is so much more rad!
That's awesome.
It was a dream. It was really cool to see
everybody be there to support you guys.
The Bachelor thing really is just this huge family.
It's nuts.
It's crazy.
Everyone showed up to support you guys and was obviously just so happy and in tears.
It's just such a cool thing to see, you know?
I know.
It was like, for me, it was like with all this crap that's going on around Bachelor in Paradise right now,
it was like getting to see you guys get married was the redeeming factor of the entire show.
It's like this is what the show's about.
It's easy to look at the negative and look at the bad things about it
and look at the crap that's going on, but that's what the show's about,
and that's why it's worth it for everybody.
Right. I mean, it's definitely got the highest success rate.
I think two out of three. That's not bad.
When you were on
The Bachelorette with me,
Oh Lord,
do we have to?
You got hated on,
on the show.
And then in Paradise,
you were hated,
I'm talking like social media.
Yeah.
You got hated on
the beginning of Paradise
and then you were loved
by social media afterwards.
I was wondering,
what was the general
like response
from America
after the wedding aired? Oh my gosh. It was
huge. I mean I've never gotten tweeted at
so much. Even when we got engaged
it was just like oh my gosh your love is so real
I'm crying. I have ice
cream and wine.
All of these things were just... Every girl
all across America. It was incredible.
Yeah. It's really neat.
Of course I forgot when you're not on TV for a while, the haters go away.
And then you go on TV and it's like, I hate this.
I hate it.
I'm like, oh, I remember you guys.
Yeah.
It's kind of fun.
Did you get crap about the one line where you're like, I'm excited to explore your body,
or explore all of you or something like that?
Not really, actually.
It was like an awkward, funny, cute thing.
They had to have some awkward thing.
Had to, yeah.
Well, that was my line.
I wanted to do it.
I was excited to do it.
I didn't tell Carly or anything.
I was just like, eh.
That's great.
But that's what was so great about it was the little quirky bits were so you guys.
And really, that's what made it seem about it was like the little quirky bits were so you guys.
And really that's what made it seem so authentic and made it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then we were out in L.A. I guess it was two weeks ago because we were filming like an after show.
And I get a call from Evan and he was like, or he texted me first and he was like, hey, do you have time to chat tonight?
I need to talk to you about something. And anytime anyone sends that to you,
it's like, oh God, what happened?
Yeah, totally.
It's happened to me last night, actually. What is going on here?
And then you called me,
and you're like, are you sitting down?
Oh no, it's even worse.
I know, and I was like, oh my God.
Like, did Chad die?
Are you the one that delivers this news?
Like, what happens?
And then you told me that you and Carly are pregnant.
Yeah.
Just congratulations. Thank you. Oh no, congratsly are pregnant. Yeah. That's just,
congratulations.
Thank you.
I know, congrats.
Just moving right along.
Yeah.
I know, but.
Just rocking and rolling.
That's what you do.
I know.
Yeah, when you're in love.
You don't want to waste
any time, you know.
Do you know what you're having?
We'll know like this week.
Really?
Like it's really sick.
It's happening?
Are you guys going to do
a gender reveal party?
Yes.
What are you going to do
to reveal the gender?
We're working through that.
I want to know all the ideas. Is it cake?
Is it balloons? Is it smoke bombs?
There's a really cool thing that I was tempted to do
is like, I guess there's a golf ball you can
hit and it explodes into color.
Ooh, I like that. I think that one's kind of cool.
We totally did not tell anyone
in like any kind of grand fashion.
Like it was like, oh kids, hey we're pregnant.
And they're like, oh what the heck?
Hey mom and dad, let's go to dinner okay hey we're pregnant
and then like all of a sudden like it's out and people
are like oh crap so like we had like a hundred people
that were like you didn't tell us
so now we have to make sure for the gender
that we do something big and you know
that's the day and age we live in
though that everybody finds out everything
online and oh gosh
is that a phone? Nope. Face down too
nothing to see here it's face down is it face down? Oh no online and oh gosh. Is that a phone? Nope. Face down too.
It's face down.
Is it face down? Oh no.
I don't want you to look.
I don't want you to change your mindset of this interview. I'm scared.
Isn't that the worst feeling when it falls
face down?
I don't have a case either.
Insurance? Yeah.
Do you guys say insurance or insurance?
I get a lot of crap about this.
I have insurance.
Insurance.
You say insurance.
You said insurance like I do.
By the way, are you happy now?
I got a new, forever Evan gave me crap for having an old phone and I had to get one recently.
What do you mean?
Like a tiny, like old?
He had like an iPhone three and a half or something.
It was last year.
It was an SE, which is a six and a five body.
How do you find cases for that thing anymore?
I didn't have one and I lived on the edge.
You did.
So does Evan.
Look what happened.
The consequences are real.
All right.
Well, Evan, welcome to Your Favorite Thing podcast.
Thank you so much.
You are guest number two.
You are.
Wow.
I know.
Thank you.
I'm honored, y'all.
We're honored to have you, really.
I appreciate that.
Yeah.
Real quick before we get into our favorite stuff.
You are bachelor royalty at this point.
You are Paradise alumni.
Yep.
What do you think about Paradise so far? Oh, my gosh. I love it. Do you? It's so much alumni. Yep. What do you think about Paradise so far?
Oh my gosh, I love it.
Do you?
It's so much fun.
Yeah.
What's funny is I'm like,
everybody's like,
what do you think of Corinne and Demare?
I'm like, that's what I'm tweeting.
I don't even care what's going on.
I just want to see,
I love those first few days of Paradise.
They're so much fun.
It stayed pretty true to form.
Just hysterical.
Those intros are so funny.
I live for the intros.
That's what we were just talking about.
Who is your favorite on the intros this
season? Do you have a favorite? It's hard.
Do you remember his, though? His was the best.
I have to say, looking
back, I think yours was my favorite. I kind of want to pull it up. What was it?
Oh, don't. Please. Let's pull it up.
It's him eating
a banana. It's so
creepy and amazing. Yes, but see, those are
my favorite ones. The ones that are just so
weird. I hit that in one take, too.
Did you?
Nice!
I love knowing all of these behind the scenes.
They had a whole Chiquita banana spread, and you're like, I only hit one.
In one take.
Wells, what was yours last year?
They didn't do a great job of showcasing it.
Did they let you guys pick, or did they just say, this is what you're doing?
I think for some people, they tell them what to do.
For me, so mine was, it was two tortillas, like they were records, and then I hollowed
out a pineapple, like a headphone.
I remember this.
Because you're a DJ.
I get it.
Did you think of yours?
Were you like, I want to eat it.
I thought of it.
I was like, well, the layup is a banana, but maybe we could do something.
Yeah, exactly.
And they were like, no, no, let's do the banana.
I'm like, oh, all right, fine.
I love it, of course.
That's great.
We did, so they revealed mine last night, and I'm a little bummed,
so I actually want to use this platform to tell you the other things
that were supposed to be my intro.
So if you saw last night, it's Jorge,
and he opens a beer, and then he slides it over. And we liked that.
I love that.
Yeah, my group was like, yeah, it's a great one.
It makes sense.
He's passing the torch, passing a beer, yada, yada, yada.
It was actually the last one we came up with.
So the first one was me with,
like the big joke on Paradise was that
I was really not a very good bartender.
I put ice into a shaker.
I think I shake it,
and then I flip it behind my back,
like cocktail style, you know?
And then when it comes down,
I fumble it,
and then the ice goes everywhere.
And then I go down on an elbow,
and I do like a...
That would have been good, too.
That would have been great.
That would have been good.
But my favorite one,
I thought a little bit that they were going to keep.
Oh, did you get to film all of them?
Yeah, so I did a bunch of them.
Tell them to give us this footage.
I know.
And so the one that I loved the most was I overfilled the blender.
Oh, that's good.
And then, of course, I pressed it and it went everywhere.
That's what they should have used for sure.
So it would be used because they were like, you need something that's going to stain you, you know?
So I put all the Bloody Mary mix in.
Oh, my God. And I put like all the Bloody Mary mix in. Oh my God.
And I think I was wearing my blue shirt,
so it gets all over me,
and I'm like trying to turn it off,
and I can't.
Oh, that's so good.
Yeah, it was so funny.
Anyways.
We gotta get the Elan.
Can we have the footage, please?
What size was that shirt, man?
It was,
I gotta tell that story, too.
Extra small, for real, probably.
Yeah, it was.
I had to go there a week early to like the layout and get my uniform and all this stuff.
And I remember, it was like this kind of big reveal.
It was an important thing for the producers.
And so we were at the bar and someone walks down with my new shirt.
They hand it to me.
It's embroidered and it's like, this is a big deal.
Finally, there's someone that's no longer part of the cast.
He's kind of a crew guy.
And they're like, put it on, put it on, put it on.
And I remember someone was filming me do it.
So I take off my shirt and I put it on.
And I put it on and I button it up.
And I'm like, what do you guys think?
And it was a collective, like, huh, okay.
And then I remember someone was like, why don't you roll the sleeves up a bit?
And I was like, okay.
So I roll the sleeves up and they're like,
ah, I'm kind of swimming in it.
What size is that?
It was a small.
You're swimming in it.
I'm a six foot tall man that can't fill out a small.
Are you six feet tall?
Yeah.
Wow.
Don't, yeah.
So I was in an extra,
so I was like, guys, I need an extra small.
Yeah.
So they finally got me an extra small.
Oh my gosh, that's insane. No, but the reason I say that, guys, I need an extra small. Yeah. So they finally got me an extra small. Oh, my gosh.
That's insane. No, but the reason I say that is because, like, I had lunch with Jorge after the wedding.
Yeah.
And he was like, Wells was very embarrassed that he couldn't fit into the small, so don't
bring it up.
And I was like, I'm bringing this up immediately.
And Wells was like, oh, wait, what are you talking about?
I'm glad you've come to terms with it.
Listen, I've, like, subscribed to, like, the Book of Evan, where, like, you need to lean in to, like, I've like subscribed to like the book of Evan where like you need
to lean in to like
the things that are embarrassing.
Yeah.
Because if anyone...
It's endearing.
Yeah.
And like if that gets out,
I'm like ahead of it.
I've kind of like
eight-miled it
where like I got up on stage
and said all the things that...
Yep.
That's always the way to go.
Yep.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Speaking of leaning in,
I was scrolling
through Instagram today
and I saw a sponsored post from Robbie
dialing into his social media
influencer. Well, that is his occupation
as of recent.
I'm like, not a sponsored post, please.
That's only appropriate
considering that's all anyone's talked about
about him. Well, that and his maybe
eyeliner and his hair. You think he's got
eyeliner? Maybe Becca.
Somebody tweeted it and was like, is Robbie wearing eyeliner?
And I was like, is he?
It makes so much sense.
He totally would.
Because to me, he had a bit of a Jared Leto vibe going on in the first episode.
And the eyeliner may have been what made me think that.
My favorite thing was Danielle being like, the hair is like a falcon wing.
And now there's a gif of her
doing it. And it's amazing.
That's great. I love it.
Should we get into the actual show? Wait, I have a question.
So when they just plaster
a social media influencer as his occupation,
do they tell him they're going to do that? Does he get a say in that?
Or do they just do it? There's no say.
There's no say in that. That's crazy.
I begged them to not use erectile dysfunction.
You did? Okay, but of course they're going to use it.
Please don't. Just do business, guys.
You should have never told them that's what you did if you didn't want them to use it.
Fatal mistake for sure. Oh, man.
You should have dad. Yeah, there you go.
Because you were the only dad on our show, right?
That would have been a good one, yeah.
They were never going to do that.
Not in a million years.
I hope that casting for The Bachelor
has a framed... Takes you as The Bachelor? Yeah, me too. Him in a million years. I hope that casting for The Bachelor has a framed...
Takes you as The Bachelor? Yeah, me too.
Him? You. No. Yes.
It's married. That's not what I'm talking about.
It's not what I'm saying.
No. No.
No, thank you. You know what getting married means,
right? It means you can't date girls ever
again. Yeah. Okay, hold on.
I didn't know. Evan,
admit the only reason why you want
me to be the bachelor. Well, listen, okay,
that is true. What? What reason?
Selfishly, I want
Wells to be the bachelor because I feel like I
want to be the guy that goes on at the beginning
and gives him advice. Yes. I want to be at the mansion
and be like, well, I just want to do it.
Wells, take one for the team.
And I think there's a whole movement, sort of an
underground movement. Hashtag Wells for a bachelor. You started. there's a whole movement, sort of an underground movement.
Hashtag Wells for a bachelor. You started.
I'm sorry.
Okay, we're going to get this going.
I'm going to make Noah tweet it.
Wells has to be the bachelor.
Why not?
No.
Wells.
Think about it.
Think about the possibilities.
Maybe I can make two appearances.
Can I come on?
I don't know what I'll do, but can I come on?
You guys both want to give me advice?
What if I get Liz on the show?
Now we're talking.
Now we're talking.
Who is this Liz?
I need to see a pic.
Let me plug her song real quick.
She has a new song out on Spotify.
It came out on New Music Friday.
It's called STFU and Hold Me.
Shut the fuck up.
Hold Me.
Okay.
And it's great.
It's a bop.
You guys should download it.
It's a bop.
I will.
So she obviously knows now about Liz.
Oh, she knows.
She knows about you.
She's at this very moment probably listening to episode one because I just told her we
talked about it.
She's got a hot friend and she was like, like six months ago, she was like, I want to hook
you up with her.
And I was like, great, let's do it.
And then she became single recently.
She's like slow playing it.
Okay, but whoa, pump.
This happened like a year ago where you were like, she's hot.
And at the time, she was single.
And like the day I was like, I have a guy for you.
She was like, I just started dating somebody in LA.
And I was like, oh, man.
And I was like, all right, well, if it doesn't work out, let me know.
And then like a year or something goes by and Wells brings it up a week ago.
And he was like, your friend Liz, is she still dating that guy?
And I go, yes, she is.
No.
But they just broke up.
And so the timing of it was curious.
Okay, so here, can I say this?
If I am the bachelor, this is what's going to happen.
You're coming on the road with me, Evan.
Great.
Would you do that?
Anything.
Anything you need.
You could be his personal assistant.
I want you to walk out with me on road ceremonies
and lean in and whisper.
I'm like, not her.
No, don't do it.
He's like, okay, got it.
Okay, but realistically, he could be behind the scenes
and you could be wearing the little ear thing.
No, I want Evan present.
That's also an option, though.
Guest producer, I would love to do that.
You would be a great producer.
Get yourself a producer cred.
I've been also tooting that horn.
That would be so much fun. But what about your business? Well, you know. It'll be a great producer. Get yourself a producer cred. I've been also tooting that horn. Yeah. That'd be so much fun.
But what about your business?
Well, you know.
It'll be all right.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Wells the Bachelor.
Yes.
Maybe twice.
Maybe a few times.
Now that I'm thinking about it,
like your ITMs talking about the girls
that I would be dating would be hilarious.
You'd be like, oh God, Cindy.
She wants to shut the hell up.
It's not the right one for him.
No, I don't think so. Wells has to happen. But now Barbara, God, Cindy. She wants to shut the hell up. It's not the right one for him. No, I don't think so.
Well, this has to happen.
But now Barbara, God, she is a looker.
But you know what?
She's got a troubled past.
Might work well with him.
I don't know.
I can just see that.
Oh, this is great.
I love this.
Who do we call?
This has to happen immediately.
This is my favorite thing.
Yay, yay, yay.
This is your favorite thing? Yay, yay. This is your favorite thing?
Yay, call it.
Woo.
All right.
Can we actually get into the show of like doing our favorite things?
We've been talking for 40 minutes.
I know.
We haven't even done it.
We have like literally done, you said John Mayer.
Yeah, I did.
I said a song.
Then we had Evan come on.
That was it.
Yeah, we talked about the intros.
That's true, that's true.
I never say what my favorite intro is, though.
Yeah, whose is your fave?
I think I agree with you.
Amanda's with, you know that's Elan Chasinger.
Of course.
Yes.
I love that song.
Yeah.
He made a cameo last night.
Did you see that?
No, where?
Alex was walking up to the camera, and Elan's trying to run off set with his, he got in
the shot.
That's great.
Amanda saying she doesn't need another little person following her around.
I couldn't believe she said that.
I thought it was too far.
Poor guy.
I think the minute she said it, she knew it too.
She was kind of like, oh, I shouldn't have said that out loud.
I feel bad for him.
I was like, I wanted him to be me because that was kind of me last year.
I could never get within a yard of him.
And look at you now.
I know.
So Alex, right?
Alex, he has so much to look forward to.
You're his role model.
I don't know that that's going to follow the same path, but I would love that.
Anyways, let's get into your favorite things.
Okay?
Do you have a favorite thing right now, Evan?
Well, obviously, my favorite thing is a little baby growing inside of Carly's tummy.
So that's my favorite
thing. Hands down. Is your least
favorite thing like her...
Morning sickness? Yeah. Does she have like
mood swings or like what happens when someone's
pregnant? Yeah, she's definitely changed.
Yeah.
It's been a hard road these past
six weeks or so. She's just
really sick all the time.
The fun part about it that I like is her cravings are interesting.
What are some things?
She's addicted to pickles.
She's addicted to mashed potatoes mixed with corn, which grosses me out.
That sounds kind of good.
It looks gross.
Really?
Corn and mashed potatoes are two great things.
She gets super hungry, so she makes all these things, and then she eats two bites.
There's a ton of food in the trash.
Because then she gets sick, right?
Exactly.
So the pickles thing is real, huh?
Yeah.
And ice cream, does she do that?
Like that's the thing, right?
Rocky Road, she's a fan of that.
Nice.
The other thing that's amazing about this is she is turned into a napper.
Really?
Never.
She hated it when I would take naps.
She'd be like, you can't nap.
We got this.
You're a napper?
I love naps.
So how long is a normal nap for you?
Like an hour. Really?
Anywhere between 20 minutes to 2 hours. Because you've seen
all this research, right? About like
10 to 15 minutes is like
supposed to be the best nap time and then any
longer it makes you more tired, but not for you.
Well, it's absolutely true, but
sometimes you just can't pull out.
Just like you couldn't.
Wow!
Lay up. Wow. Layup.
Oh, man.
That's great.
Naps.
That's the only thing I've ever heard to look forward to about being pregnant.
But I like that one.
She sleeps a lot.
I know.
It's exciting.
I'm like, yes, let's nap.
Amazing.
Yeah.
And then she'll be out for five hours.
I'm like, wait.
Okay.
You're like, wait, I'm bored.
Yeah.
I wake up.
Too much of a good thing.
And you're like taking care of the dog and everything.
Yeah.
You guys have a dog?
We do.
What kind?
It's a Cavalier King Charles.
No.
That's so cool.
Wait, I have a friend that wants one of those.
Yeah, he's wearing a sweatshirt with a picture of his dog on it.
Stop.
But originally you were not like too keen on the dog.
You've come around.
Really?
So I love like big dogs.
I had a German Shepherd for years.
That's what I have.
I love German Shepherds.
They're like my thing.
Yeah.
And so we actually had compromised.
I forget what we had compromised on, but then she just like went out and got the little
huck.
She didn't even wait.
She went out without.
She was like, I'm getting this one.
That's how it is.
That was it.
Okay.
All right. That's how this thing works out without. She was like, I'm getting this one. That's how it is. That was it. Okay. All right.
That's how this thing works.
And so I was like, fine.
So we went.
And then as soon as I saw him, I fell in love.
And I mean, this face is adorable.
So cute.
So cute.
That's adorable.
He's so great.
I don't know.
That's a good dog for a kid too.
It's not cute.
It's like a beautiful dog.
Yeah.
It's like Lady and the Tramp type of, you know?
I don't know if that's a type of breed, but it's like a really pretty dog.
Oh, yeah.
It's like a show dog, right?
Like the Reagans had.
A lot of presidential and royal families had.
It's a regal dog.
Carl the Bloodhound.
Carl the Bloodhound.
Have they met?
No.
I think Carl would eat him.
He might.
Do you think?
I don't know.
Carl's actually, so it's funny.
When Carl goes to the doggy hotel, they put him with the little dogs because he does better
with little dogs.
That's what I would think about Carl.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He does, like big dogs, he will try to fight and be like, and be like kind of like the
man.
Yeah.
Or he gets annoyed.
Oh.
Whereas a little dog, I think he's like, oh, look at all these old guys.
Hey guys. Hey, guys.
Thank you, Carl.
Wait a second.
It's literally on my list that one of my favorite things is your Carl voice.
Yeah.
It's a popular thing.
You've perfected it.
It's pretty good.
When you look at him, that's what it sounds like.
I know.
And everything has to start with, I don't know.
Hey, guys.
I thought we were going to the dog park today, but apparently you want to do a fucking podcast, which is great.
Whatever.
Oh, my gosh. I wonder what Carl thinks about his Carl voice.
Because he can't tell you?
I don't know.
Yeah, I have no clue if he knows that I'm doing him.
That's what I was wondering.
I wonder when he hears you do that voice,
if he knows you're mocking him.
Well, it's funny, too, because I'll do the video,
and then I'll play it back, you know?
So he'll hear it.
Oh, he hears it.
He'll hear it over and over again,
and he'll be like, dude, you're a fucking idiot.
What are you doing?
Well, I'm a fan of the Carl voice.
Yeah.
Huge fan.
Absolutely.
Does Huck have a dog voice?
It's very high-pitched.
It's got to be.
Hey!
Hey!
Hey, guys!
It's neurotic.
Like a little coked out.
Oh, my God.
Hey, guys!
I have so much to tell you!
Wait, Wells, if the Bachelor thing doesn't work out, you should 1,000% be a voiceover
actor for animals.
Right?
Yeah.
I love that.
I like that you guys are really carving out my future here.
We've got you covered.
Well, like Bachelor and then the animal planet.
Totally.
Yeah.
That's going to be your post-Bachelor move.
I haven't talked about any things that I love right now.
What do you mean?
We haven't, my favorite thing, we haven't done anything.
What is your favorite thing?
I saw that Taco Bell.
Stop it with the Taco Bell.
Not the egg. Yes, the egg.
We talked about Taco Bell last
episode, too. Why is
that wrong? Because A, they
ain't paying us, and B, I don't even like
Taco Bell.
Valid.
But this is how you get the deal.
Then I probably shouldn't say
I don't like it. Actually, it's not that I don't like Taco Bell.
It's just that when I was younger and poor and in a band, that's all I ate.
And so now I've just grown out of my Taco Bell phase.
That makes sense.
And there's no going back.
Do you know what I'm about to say about the Taco Bell?
Yeah.
What is it?
Well, no, you're better at explaining things.
All right.
You do.
Is he?
are explaining things.
All right, so.
Is he a?
Apparently what they're going to do, guys,
is they're making a taco shell out of a fried egg.
That sounds disgusting.
What are you,
think about the breakfast.
Is this a breakfast item?
Yeah.
The breakfast taco possibilities
where you don't have to have,
so it's an egg shell.
Uh-huh.
And then inside,
it's like potatoes and chorizo. But then you
have to hold the egg? But I think
the egg is hard. I don't know what kind of
sorcery they're using here, guys, but I'm
excited about it. It's called
stuff that's not good for you.
I know. I was listening to last
week's. I was so surprised that Wells is a
Taco Bell fan. He's such a Taco Purist.
I feel like... Yeah, what's
wrong with you? It's fascinating.
It's true.
Like,
I don't go to Taco Bell
on the reg,
but last week we were
talking about Lyft
allowing you to go
through the drive-thru
and use the app
to pay for it.
And as also
a functioning alcoholic,
I see how amazing that is.
All right?
It's not helping
your bachelor case.
It's not.
It's really, really.
I wanted the voiceover thing.
I don't know.
That seems better for me.
You can do both.
It'll be great.
I'll get you a guy who can do both.
Yes.
The thing about it is that, God, it's really funny that you bring it up.
I don't know if you've seen, there's a tease from Bachelor in Paradise where I happen to have puppets on my hands.
I have seen that.
Hysterical.
Have you seen it?
Yes.
Have you seen any of the other stuff?
Have they showed you any of the other stuff?
You've seen some stuff.
I want to see stuff.
What have you seen?
This is so unfair.
I'm not saying it.
Really?
I'm not saying it.
Frankly, I'm shocked by what's about to come.
I'm shocked.
You guys, this is torture.
Whatever. I can't even watch next week. I'm shocked. You guys, this is torture. Whatever.
I can't even watch next week.
I'm going to be in Denver.
This is not fair.
Do they not have TVs in Denver?
Not where I, I'm like going to Red Rocks.
I can't watch National Paradise.
You're so hipster in Denver.
So just tell me.
You're so hipster.
I'll be at Red Rocks Monday and Tuesday.
So you should just tell me now.
Well, you just like bringing up the voice
over thing like there is a point in time
when I am like using
character voices
on the show because you have to
understand like I wasn't in any
drama there so when I had
to go do
not yet
there's no way
you're escaping paradise without going on a date.
There's no way.
For some insane reason, all of the girls think you're really hot.
Even like my girlfriends that watch with me that know you are like, wow, Wells looks really good on TV.
Like, damn, Wells is kind of hot.
Why don't you date Wells?
And I'm like, he doesn't look like that in real life, you guys.
Why is he wearing an XL shirt, guys?
That's a small.
XL.
It is an XL.
I have a theory on that, though.
It's because these women who are so beautiful and haven't been told no in their entire lives
show up in a place where they think everyone is going to just like bend
over and like worship the ground they walk on.
And then I show up and I'm like, can't go on dates, guys.
You can't have me.
Can't do it.
Sorry, guys.
Classic you want what you can't have.
Exactly.
Forbidden fruit.
That's all it is.
Or maybe you're just a really great guy.
Maybe.
Maybe. you know me
pretty well. It's not that great.
There are people that look great on film.
And like,
I'm going to be confident right now. Wells looks great on
film. Looks great on TV. Think so?
Yes, I think so.
So, I don't know. I do think there's something
to that. The girls are into it.
They're into the forbidden fruit thing.
So what you're saying is you're going on dates in paradise.
I didn't say that. I said that I do
some voiceover work there.
Bum, bum, bum. That leads
to dates. Do you need another beer, Evan?
Oh, I'm great. You good?
The boys are drinking beer in the studio right now.
There's nothing wrong with that.
I got a story, my favorite
pop culture story that I thought was really cool
that I wanted to share. There's a guy
named Chad Bettis. Have you guys ever heard of him?
No. Okay, so he
this past Monday, he
was on the mound.
Anyways, he's a pitcher, okay?
Yeah, I know. You're a cleat chaser.
Brandi, you like it? I like basketball, thanks,
but I'm still interested.
So he won his game.
3-0 against the Braves.
And I was watching the game and I was like
everyone is
standing up giving him this
standing ovation
the entire time he's pitching and I couldn't understand
what it was so we looked it up. The dude
had testicular cancer
a year ago.
So he left baseball. What?
They did surgery. Thought he was fine, found out it had spread to his lymph nodes, went
and got chemotherapy.
Six months out, he wasn't even worrying about baseball.
Yeah, yeah.
Beats it, and then on Monday night beats the Braves.
Incredible.
How old is he?
28 years old.
That's so young.
Isn't that a cool story?
Really cool. That's amazing. That's crazy.. Isn't that a cool story? Really cool.
That's amazing.
That's crazy.
That's a great story.
Yeah.
Very positive.
Cheers to that.
I like it.
Cheers to that.
Speaking of baseball, did you see where Tim Tebow, like, I don't really know the exact-
You think Tim Tebow?
He's killing it.
He's killing it.
Yeah, he is killing it, but he went over to a fan and was talking to a fan and gave the
fan a hug, took a photo, and then went and hit a three-run home run or something insane.
I don't know.
It was some big ball.
Do you love Tim Tebow?
I actually have not ever really been a Tim Tebow fan, but I don't know.
That made me a bit of a fan.
Do you like Tim Tebow?
He's always seemed too good to be true or something to me.
Yeah, there's got to be some hidden...
I don't know, though, but I don't know.
He's got some weird stuff in the basement that's going to come out later. I don't know, though, but I don't know. He's got some weird stuff in the basement, you know, that's going to come out later.
I don't know, but what he did was really precious, and he's killing it.
Yeah.
Well, he seems like a really good guy.
Yeah, he is.
And he gets hated on so much.
And it's crazy that he would pick something like baseball, which he had, like, you know.
I know.
He played in...
Jump into baseball.
He played in college, apparently.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, a lot of guys play a lot of sports.
Yeah, totally.
Like, my brother played basketball and baseball growing up.
Yeah.
I think that's common.
I know who my favorite Instagram follow is.
Who is it?
Daquan.
Do you know who that is?
No.
What?
Do you follow Daquan?
No.
You guys have to start immediately.
What is it?
He's, like, one of those, like, a fat Jewish type.
But he's more, he's, like, a little ratchet.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
When I say that.
There's a little bit of me that, like, I don't love those guys because they just steal from
everyone. No, this one doesn't. He posts
some OG content.
Does he? He's really, really good. You have to check it
out. D-A-Q-U-A-N. He has 9.5
million followers. That's pretty strong.
That's a lot. Oh, I know who my favorite
Instagram follower is. It's textfromyourex.
Oh yeah, that's a good one. Those are fantastic.
That's a lot. I know. That's
insane that that's a lot.
But he also does Your Shitty Family.
I thought for sure he did Neighbors from Hell, but he doesn't.
But that's a good one, too.
That is a good one.
I love those ones.
I've asked him.
I was like, do you have someone that's in charge of this?
Who's doing all this?
He does it all himself.
I couldn't handle all that.
No, it's a lot.
I don't know how he does it.
He just must live in his freaking phone. It's interesting.
Following him on everything,
you'll see him sometimes try something out on Twitter.
And then all of a sudden,
they'll go to his personal Instagram.
Then all of a sudden, boom, it's up on text.
Nice.
Do you guys know about Finstas?
No, what is that?
Yes.
I just found out that that's a thing.
My 17-year-old sister is who I learn everything from.
A Finsta is your fake Instagram
that you post things
to to make sure it's aesthetically
good before you post it to your real Instagram.
What? It's insane.
Noah is so serious about her finsta. It's
insane. What is her fake one? I can't
tell you because she wants it to be pride. It's the whole
point of it is that no one knows about it and
blah, blah, blah. But she literally will post
stuff and scroll through and make sure
aesthetically her grid looks right before she'll post it on her actual Instagram. Wow. It's pretty genius, blah. But she literally will post stuff and scroll through and make sure aesthetically her grid looks right before she'll post it
on her actual Instagram.
Wow.
It's pretty genius, actually.
Have you heard this?
Well, I didn't hear it like that.
I heard it from my 12-year-old son
who said it's basically an account
you hide from your parents.
Oh, or that.
It's like friends Insta.
When you're a Cyrus,
you can't hide anything from anyone, unfortunately.
So that doesn't work.
But a Finsta, that's what that's called.
So now you know.
That's interesting.
Yeah.
Is it fake Instagram?
Yes.
Okay.
Finsta.
Fascinating.
Isn't it, though?
It's terrible, actually.
It's terrible?
Absolutely a nightmare.
What is this word coming?
I don't know.
Wait, we haven't talked about Game of Thrones yet.
I haven't seen the last episode.
Do you watch Game of Thrones?
Evan.
Okay, this is the one that you gotta watch.
I know.
I went through a season of not watching any TV for years.
Which is good.
That's a good thing.
I'm trying to get back into stuff.
Yeah.
Game of Thrones is a commitment.
You were on TV.
Yeah.
Which is all the more reason why you probably should not watch TV.
That's fair.
Do you guys watch yourselves on TV?
Yeah.
I didn't watch one and not any full episodes of Cyrus vs. Cyrus.
Really?
I do not like watching myself on TV.
Not even to be like, I can work on that or this?
To give yourself notes?
That's reality.
I mean, no.
The only thing I've ever watched, I did film the horror movie a little while ago.
You did?
Yeah.
What?
But I was only in it for like 30 minutes.
It's called Old 37.
But I did watch it because I got to do a stunt and I had special effects and I wanted to see it.
That's awesome.
Old 37?
Old 37.
Is it on Netflix?
Probably.
My new favorite thing next week.
It's like a horror movie.
It's like, you know, gory and gross and blah, blah, blah.
But anyway, I'm in the for you can turn it off after 30 minutes because I die.
Speaking of movies.
Ruined.
You die?
Yeah, why are you spoiler alerting us?
Gosh.
Fuck.
This is a grand scene, though.
Do you go out and like- Yes.
I do.
You guys ought to watch it.
Really?
Yeah.
That's the only thing I've watched myself on.
Even like when I worked for Fuse, like I could never watch myself do interviews.
Like, I just don't like it.
But you listen to yourself on the podcast.
Yeah, but that's different.
That's my voice.
Yeah.
Yeah. I get it. What else? You got any the podcast. Yeah, but that's different. That's my voice. Yeah. Yeah.
I get it.
What else?
You got any other favorite things?
That's all I got.
All right.
Evan, you're one of my favorite people in the world.
Me too.
Thank you.
Come back anytime.
Isn't he awesome?
Yeah, Evan's great.
In case you guys were wondering, Evan's phenomenal.
Honestly, like, okay, hold on.
Just real quick.
Here we go.
You can't just leave it at that.
I can't.
If you hadn't got engaged, it would have been the greatest thing ever.
For you to be the bachelor?
Yes.
It would have been the best.
It would have been the best thing ever because he's so funny.
But he did get married, and the second best thing is for you to be the bachelor, and that's
what's going to happen.
Game over.
Okay, bye.
I'm going to post a poll on my Twitter just casually just saying, would you guys want Wells Adams to be the next bachelor? Yes. And if you guys will just go vote on that, I'm going to put a poll on my Twitter just casually just saying, would you guys want
Wells Adams to be the next Bachelor?
Yes.
And if you guys will just go vote on that.
I'm going to put it up right now.
And yeah.
And then if you guys vote that Wells should be the Bachelor, we're making a phone call.
Why do you want?
You don't really want this.
I do.
So I have a reason to go and visit and be a part of it somehow.
Not there for the right reasons.
You both want it just so you can be on the show with me.
Wellesley, I want you to find love.
Yes, of course.
I really do.
You're 33.
Clock's a ticking.
I know.
My biological clock is ticking over here.
Yeah.
Carl needs a mommy.
I know.
All right.
Okay.
Done deal.
Go vote, people.
