Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Everyone's on drugs and the robots are taking over

Episode Date: December 14, 2022

It’s a tid-bit-nip these days, so we hope you’re all staying warm out there. Wells has no Christmas gifts for anyone but he does have a new backwards hat for himself that takes Brandi a hot minute to get used to. Your hosts discuss the creepiness that is sitting on Santa's lap, then Brandi shares her Christmas wish and also that she took a micro dose of mushrooms before this podcast. Wells then makes it his mission to mess with her for the rest of the show. They dive into that White Lotus finale and what they want to happen in season 3, and then naturally pivot to the outbreak of crabs at BYU. Never a dull moment with the Mormons. They touch on the GMA scandal, the Harry and Meghan docuseries, the UFC fight, and a new website that uses AI to do literally anything for you. Not creepy at all! Your hosts conclude that everyone is on drugs and the robots are taking over. But don’t do drugs.... Watch White Lotus... Enjoy!  Don’t forget to rate, review, and follow Your Favorite Podcast!

What's up, everybody? How's everybody doing? Cold out there. Even here in sunny Los Angeles, just a tit-bit nip. And then I saw on the news today that like crazy storms are like flying on through the rest of the country. So everyone's kind of cold. I watched the season finale of White Lotus last night. And I mean, Brandy and I will talk about it. It's pretty amazing. I watched the Meghan Markle thing. I have so many thoughts. I have way too many thoughts last night and um i mean brandy and i will talk about it it's pretty amazing and watch the megan markle thing i have so many thoughts i have way too many thoughts about it christmas is just around the corner and i have yet to buy any gifts for anybody and it's starting to stress me out the

holidays are just stressful and it shouldn't be you're supposed to be like a time of joy and thanks and a figgy pudding and pictures with the family and Christmas cards. It's not. It's stress because you have your normal life and then you have to go buy things. You have to spend money on people. If I wanted something, I go buy it. I don't need someone to go think that they know what I like. Like my mother, God bless her. She hasn't gotten me a good gift. I don't know. When was when Chernobyl melted down? That's the last time I got a good gift from my mom.

She doesn't know what size I am. She thinks I'm a large. Do I look like a large? Well, for those of you that are watching on the web, I'm a medium at best. And if we're being honest, I'm a shmedium. But here we are. She refuses to believe that I am not a large. She gets me swim trunks every year. Do I put them on and look like Adam Sandler?

Every time. Do they come down to the middle of my calf? Yes, they do. But you know what? It is what it is. But I love Christmas. I really do. I also just really love to complain.

I'm not sure if you guys have figured that out yet, but that's where we are. All right. Let's call Branda. Little little loop. Beep bop boop. Hi. Mello.

How are you doing? I'm good. I just didn't, I didn't know that bro Wells was showing up for the podcast. So if I wear a backwards hat, I'm Bro Wells? Yes. Oh. What do you mean?

Yeah. I didn't know that. I just didn't know that this alter ego of yours existed. Yeah. Well, it does. Yeah. Wow. Yeah.

I feel like you like bros. I do, but it's different on you. Hmm. Is it not good? Should I go away from it? No, no. No, let's put it back on. Okay.

I think I just got used to it maybe. I mean, I wear hats. You're normally a beanie guy. I am normally a beanie guy. But I feel like I've done the last couple episodes in a beanie, and I'm trying to switch it up, you know? Okay. Oh, yeah, sure. Dude, it be cold outside.

It's not. Is it not? How cold is it? No, I'm just saying, like, across the country. I was watching the news today, and I guess some big storms, like, coming on through. And so it's obviously starting here. And we've had rain the past two days. It rains in Los Angeles.

Wow. I know. But we'll probably not keep any of that water. We'll just, like, send it out into the fucking ocean, and we'll still be in a drought. I don't know how any of this works, but it seems like we have rain. Why aren't we keeping it? I don't know. It's because I don't think LA has like the proper shit to like distribute the rain. I don't know. Yeah, I don't

know. We got to, let's get some shit LA. Let's get some lakes. Yeah. Let's get a lake or two, maybe a reservoir. Oh, there is a Silver Lake reservoir. Oh, is there? Yeah. Oh, nice. Went full Santa Claus yesterday. I'm not sure if you've seen my Instagram. I have. Santa Claus came in on a helicopter?

Saw that. Guess the reindeers are on strike or they're just like resting up for the big night. Not sure. Yeah, we really bouged it up, you know? We really went decadent with Santa coming. He could have come in in a car. True. But he came in on a helicopter.

He did. Which is pretty cool. Very cool. I was into it. It was a good Santa too. There are tiers, but I guess if you're spending the bucks on the helicopter, you're not getting some like low tier St. Cindy class.

Right. Have you taken a picture with Santa? Are we too old for that now? I mean, I think the whole like sitting on Santa's lap thing is very creepy. Yeah. I think it's just like asking for like a me too moment. And I like to steer clear of that. You know, I don't need to sit on a man's lap.

Yeah. I don't need to feel. What about me sitting on a lap? Is that okay? I still think it's creepy. Yeah, I sat on his lap yesterday. Well, I sat on like the arm of the chair. It's a little better.

Yeah. Yeah. It's Santa Claus. It's weird. I didn't tell him what I wanted. He didn't ask me. Yeah. What do you.

He was thinking about other things. Yeah. He was like, let me tell you my Christmas wish there, little boy. Ew. Oh, oh, oh. What, what, what is your Christmas wish? My Christmas wish? Yeah.

Like, what do I want for Christmas or like. You don't need to, you don't need to come at me with a world peace. You can... That was literally... Oh, it's going through my head. Yeah, you can come at me with like, I want, you know, new riding boots or whatever.

Whatever it is you actually want. Do you want to know what I actually want? Yes, I do. It is the most like adult, I'm old thing in the whole world yeah i legitimately asked for an electric gate for my barn driveway because right now i have to get out and open it and close it every single time i go through the barn driveway and let me tell you what in the winter

when it's negative 25 and and raining it's not. I saw this one gate that was pretty cool and it used like the weight of the car to lift it up. So it was kind of like a little like a little ramp. And when you drove up to it, the weight of the tire would go on the little ramp and push down on this hydraulic arm that sends the gate up. And then you drop- Did you see this on TikTok? I did. And I was like, that's a good idea. And like, there's no electricity, you know? Genius.

It just uses, wait, I don't know. It uses something. Here's the thing though. That means anyone could just pull up and open it. Well, I assume you can lock it so it doesn't work. Yeah, but then you'd have to get out and unlock it every time. Yeah, okay. So you want, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I assume you can lock it so it doesn't work. Yeah, but then you'd have to get out and unlock it every time. Yeah, okay.

So you want... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I understand. So this is... Yeah, this is a gate for like just on someone's property where you've already gone through a gate, I think.

Ah, genius. I know, it's pretty good. Yeah, so is someone getting you that? I mean, I don't know. Probably not. I never get what I actually ask for. No one ever does, I feel like. No. I need to stop asking for the things I actually want. I know. I don't even know what I told Sarah I wanted. I need to get on that because she's just going to start

getting me stuff. Kind of close. I know. She's smart though. She was like, Hey, you should talk to my stylist. Um, she knows exactly what I want. And, bing, bing, boom, done. Very easy. What she wants is like pretty expensive. I don't want to just be giving one gift. Then you got to get a few expensive things. I know, but you boys, you know, it was a tough year. No, you're doing just fine.

You're doing just fine. What's going on in your world right now? Well, I wasn't going to say anything. I don't know if I should say it. And I also don't know if there's like a total placebo effect going on right now. But I did take, I took a, I guess like a micro dose of mushrooms this morning. Oh, you did? First time ever.

Wow. Why didn't you tell me? I would have joined in. We could have had a little mushroom episode. You got some mushrooms laying around? Yeah. I got some micro... You do? I live in California. We got everything over here.

Oh. Okay. Well, I have never taken them before. I don't really know what they're supposed to do. So, like, I feel like maybe I just, like, think I feel different, but I don't know. Why did you decide to take them this morning? you decide to take them this morning? So I was at a Christmas party on Saturday and we actually have a friend that I guess makes them like at his house. And so everyone was just passing them around like frigging candy. I guess that's what happens at adult Christmas parties, you know, instead of, instead of hot tamales and peppermints, you get mushrooms. Um, and everyone was, you know, just doing them. And I guess everyone has done them before. And I, I was like, you know, I want to try them. I do. I just want to try it in a controlled environment where I don't have to drive myself home. Just like, just in case, just in case,

you know? And so I took two, two of them home and I was instructed to eat something in the morning and then take it and then just take one. Cause I think like everybody else at the party was taking two at a time, but they'd been taking them. So they were, I was then just take one. Because I think like everybody else at the party was taking two at a time. But they'd been taking them. So I was told just take one and see how you feel. And take it in the morning. But eat something. And so that's what I did.

Yeah. You probably won't feel much if I'm being honest with you. Should I take two? No. That is the age old mistake of like the drugs aren't working. Let's take more. They're not drugs. Yeah, they are drugs. They're from from the earth everything is from the earth no some things are made in a lab yes but

they can be found in the world yes you make lsd in a lab but you can find it on you can find the ingredients yeah anyway psilocybin it is definitely like the fad these days. It is. Like a lot of people are taking psilocybin at parties, at weddings, everything. Mm-hmm. All right. Well, should I start saying some weird shit to you? Sure.

All right. Slowly during this episode, I'm going to see if I can trip you out. Mm-hmm. All right. Well, we should start the show now that I know that you're heavily dosed up. No, I took one. Yeah. What do you feel right now?

Energetic, I would say. Yeah. It is like a strong cup of coffee. Which is great. And I've already had coffee too. So I'm just like, you know, doubled up on the hype. This is what I suggest you do. After this, you should take the second one.

Really? Well, seeing how you feel. And then you should go for a walk. Oh. Yeah. Okay. I'm sure Azzy girl would enjoy that anyway. Yeah.

Because the colors will be super bright. Really? Yeah. I just don't know if I believe that. They will be. Also, have you seen Nashville in the winter? There's no color anywhere. Well, then it'll be more colorful than it is now.

It'll be brighter shades of beige. Very interesting. All right. Do you want to start or me? I think it is now. It'll be brighter shades of beige. Very interesting. All right, do you want to start or me? I think it's you. All right. Bros and hoes, you're listening to a tripped out, fucked up version of YFT

I mean, I should- I need a new bell for Christmas. Mine's weak. All right. Well, I feel like I need to play some stoner music for you. You know? Sounds great. All right. We'll just have fish going on in the background.

While we talk about, I think we need to start the episode with the White Lotus finale. Oh, my goodness. Have to. Spoiler alert. We're going to talk some White Lotus finale. Oh my goodness. Have to. Spoiler alert. We're going to talk some White Lotus. So if you haven't seen the end of White Lotus, also what's wrong with you, but if you haven't, maybe skip ahead six minutes. Fair? Yeah, I think so. All right, let's go. Also, TikTok probably already ruined it for you. Yeah, absolutely. That was my biggest motivation for watching it right away is because I knew I couldn't get on TikTok and not have it ruined.

Yeah. How did you feel about it? I have mixed feelings. Okay. I really enjoyed it, but I felt like there were a lot of loose ends that I didn't get answers to, and that makes me angry. I agree with that. Just like right off the bat, hey, Tanya, go down the fucking stairs, lady. What are we doing here

right yeah just go down the stairs you can see and also hey how did you get on the boat or get on the smaller boat from the smaller boat to the bigger boat when you first went on the boat yeah you must have learned how to get on the boat. Yeah. But I guess it's just so Tanya to be like, I don't know if I can make it. Oh yeah, totally. Also losing the heels would have helped her out too. That's one of the big loopholes is that

she jumped off with the heels and then she's found without heels on. Oh, true. Those things seem strapped on. True. I didn't even think about that. Yeah. Big loophole there.

But I did like Tanya's kind of final opus. And I think we all kind of knew that she was going to die because of the Madame Butterfly montage scene. But I think that a lot of people wanted her to live on because she could be the constant thread through for White Lotus. Right. That's you being a fan of Jennifer Coolidge and not being an understanding of the character of Tanya. True.

Also, I think it would be cool if they always take one character from the previous season into the next, but not always the same one. Right. So like from one to two, it was Tanya, but from two to three, like it could be Portia or, you know, Alfie or like somebody, just somebody that gets carried over every time. Well, can I tell you what I want to happen in season three? Sure. I want the through line to be through Daphne. Either she's recently divorced or she's still with Cam because I feel like that's the one loose end that I'm annoyed with. Like it did seem like we were driving towards something. There was some scam about to happen. And really all it was was the infidelity, the bullshittery of marriage, I guess, was the overarching theme there.

So I would like to see that go through. I agree. So do you think to see that go through. I agree. So do you think that Daphne and Ethan fucked? I don't know. Oh, I definitely think they did. You do? Yeah, because I think Daphne's teaching him a lesson of like, this is how you deal.

This is how you deal with people who are fucking you. And that's what, she was also teaching that lesson to Harper. Right. And I think that Harper also fucked Cam. Oh, for sure. Okay, so you believe that Harper fucked Cam, but you don't believe that Ethan fucked Daphne?

Ethan's just so lame. Yeah. I'll tell you what this show did a very good job of. I hate everyone. And that's, the only person I don't hate is the grandpa. Oh yeah. And even,

and even he is a piece of shit. Yeah. Everyone's piece of shit. So yeah, I'd like to see the through line with through Daphne one, because Megan is, I think she was kind of a scene stealer for everything. Like she was so good.

It's already built into her of being vindictive and, you know, spiteful and conniving. So she's just a fantastic character. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I hate Alfie. I don't like him either. I never really liked him. Me neither.

Like he's such a little bitch. Yeah. Like his dad, his dad is not a good guy, but his dad's right. Like he's like, you're just going to be the easiest Mark ever. And he was. I know. I really kind of wish that his dad had told him sitting there like, hey, that girl fucked me first. How does that make you feel?

Yeah. Like I kind of wish he'd said that to him. Yeah, I know. But he's trying to, he's trying to get his wife back and everything and so like i understand him not doing it i also wonder if alfie knows he did it that's a stretch i think yeah but let's be honest he might have owed her that money he was just kid in a candy store he was cookie monster in the jar. He was slamming that ass left, right, and center. It was a couple thousand euro, I feel like, every time anyone fucked her.

He probably racked up that bill to around 50K. You're probably right. Do you know what the one thing that I noticed about this show? I think one of the themes is people are more terrified of being rude than they are of dying. Yeah. Which I think is a true thing. Tanya starts to realize that shit's wrong real early. And he keeps on being like, you're going to stay for dinner.

We'll have fun on the boat. Like, don't worry about it. And she's like, okay, nervous. If you're really in danger, you'd be like, no, I'm fucking leaving she's like, okay, nervous. You know, if you're really in danger, you'd be like, no, I'm fucking leaving right now. I'm calling 911. You know, same with Portia. Like she knows her phone's been stolen by Jack. Like she knows something's not right. She even asks him like, are you kidnapping me right now? And he's like, no, I want to show you around and don't worry about it. Not wanting to be rude to be like,

I'm going to jump out of the car and call for the police right now. Yeah. Everyone was just too nervous to be nice. I also didn't like how Mia played Valentina. Oh, I loved it. I felt so bad for her. Nah. She was such a good character.

She was getting dicked around. And by the way, then we saw her naked. What? Everyone should be trying to fuck the manager. Did you know that when you see Theo James' gackin' balls? It's not real. It's prosthetic.

I knew that. Yeah. Yep. Does that make you sad? Oh, yeah. Yeah. That would be a lot of man, though. And from what I understand, too big can be a problem, too Oh, yeah. Yeah. That would be a lot of man, though.

And from what I understand, too big can be a problem, too. It can. Yeah. How much of that do you understand, would you say? I don't know, but that's how I sleep at night. Oh, shit. Going back to Jack and Portia, do you think that he was going to kill her? Like he was supposed to kill her?

I don't think so. No? I think he was just supposed to keep her busy while they killed Tanya. That's what I think. Yeah, but she figured it out, basically. Yeah, but it would have just been her word against theirs, really, if they'd really played their cards right, right? I know. I just hate how Greg ends up getting the money, think oh it's terrible yeah and honestly greg gets a better deal than he originally wanted because usually with an infidelity clause it's only like 30 percent

or something like that and now that she's dead i assume everything goes to him well that's what she says like to porsche on the phone is, oh, the prenup, like, he gets nothing unless, and then it was just implied, like, unless I die, and that's when I started to freak. Yeah. So I think it was probably more about killing her than the infidelity to begin with, and probably

the only reason they had her sleep with that guy is to make her, like, feel comfortable around, right, like, want to be around him, so she would get in the boat with him and think nothing of it so he could kill her and throw her in the ocean. Yeah. That's what I think.

I do love that she was able to kill everybody except for that one guy who I guess got away. And I also love finding out that the boat captain was also gay. That was pretty funny. I think that much as I hated Albie, equally hated his father for different reasons and then loved the grandpa, I did love the ending of the pretty girl walking past and all three of the men turning around to be like, Albie, you're also a piece of shit.

You just don't know it yet. I kind of like that. Anyways, I thought it was great. Big White Lotus guy oh yeah I actually liked this season better than season one

I haven't watched season one so I'm gonna go back and watch it what? yeah but what everyone said about season one

is season one was funnier yeah and you don't like comedy so I might like season one more than season two but I did love this season alright is that enough White Lotus?

I think so I really wanted Portia to die. But I think that the big win in the season is that Portia got dropped off at the airport without any of her bags. So all of her terrible clothes stay in Italy. Gone. Gone. Also, did she have her passport the entire time? I assume.

That's what I literally, same thought. Yeah. I guess when you're traveling around, especially if you're going like different cities and stuff, you're taking your passport with you. I guess so. You are. I'm so scared I'm going to lose it. Yeah, I know. But I feel like sometimes I put it in the hotel safe.

Yeah. I think if I'm going to a different city, I'm taking my passport with me. That's true. It's one thing to like if I'm just going out for the day. Right. But if I'm leaving to a different city, I'm like, I don't take the passport. Yeah. Also, it's not real.

Right. Yeah. It's whatever. I've got something for you. Okay. Did you hear about the outbreak of crabs at BYU? Cannot say that I did. We're going back to the Mormons, guys.

And I can't believe, like, the Mormons are the gift that keep on giving, folks. All right? I love everything about you Mormons. Like, it's so, double chef's kiss. And, like, every time I do a Mormon bit, I'm like, there's no way this is real. And then it turns out to be like so real. And it's like, Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Well done.

There's an outbreak right now at BYU of crabs. Do you know where people are getting the crabs, Brandy? Um, the peepee and vagina? No, see, that's what you would think normally because that's where crabs would be. Where else would you have them? People are getting crabs at BYU in their armpits. No.

And they're calling it, wait for it, bagpiping. Bagpiping. Do you know why? I could guess. Why don't you go ahead and just take a swipe at it? I don't want to say it. Just take a cut.

I think you should say it. They're so scared of having real sex that people are just fucking armpits now over there. No. They're just doing it in the armpit. You know why they call it bagpiping? Because it makes a sound. I don't think. I hope not.

I'm sure it does. Have you ever seen someone play a bagpipe? I can't say that I have actually, not in real life. What? Okay. Well, anyways. Where would I see that? I don't know.

At a bagpipe show? Yeah, no, I haven't been to one of those. Well, anyways, it's a big like thing underneath your arm. And then there's a kind of like a flute thing you play and then you go back like this. So anyways. I was thinking, you know, the armpit noise. Yeah, the fart. I was thinking that's the same sound it might make.

Maybe. Thanks to you, BYU, for fucking armpits. That is so nasty. Really weird too. Also, that means, you you know and no judgment here uh but that means like men are armpit fucking each other because women don't have hairy armpits right that's a good point yeah i mean some maybe here and there but like for the most part we don't have much hair there i i don't yeah i don't shave you know so The guys at BYU are armpit

fucking each other. Yes. Which that seems, I don't know the book of Latter Day Saints from tip to tail, from front to back, but I imagine they're not big into the gay stuff. Call me crazy. The gay stuff. Do you think that

that's gay if you're fucking another man's armpit? I think so. I do. I mean, I think if you're the- Like I said, no judgment, but that is, I think, what's happening. What's gayer, being the fucker of the armpit or the fucky of the armpit? Probably about the same. Holy shit, I want to be a doctor so bad at BYU to be like, Jesus Christ, what is going on here? I do not want that. I do not

need to see any of that. So good. You got some other fave things, bro? I'm so mortified by the conversation we just had. I need a second. Okay, yeah. Take a minute. Let it sink in.

You doing mushrooms on the show is very funny. Should I do this every Monday? I don't know. We'll see how the rest of this thing goes. Okay. Have you heard about this Good Morning America scandal? I don't think so. Oh, dude, it's so great. Let me just read to you what it is. So there are these

two Good Morning America anchors. One's named TJ Holmes. The other's name is Amy Roback. They're both married to other people and they were caught canoodling like on vacation together. Paparazzi got them,

showed that they were having an affair. They were taken off the air because I guess they were having an affair or something. I think their marriages have completely dissolved into nothing. And I think that they might be together now, which is beautifully fucked up and amazing. Damn. Paparazzi are just still out here ruining lives, aren't they? I guess.

So tragic. You're just still out here ruining lives, aren't they? I guess. So tragic. Speaking of paparazzi ruining lives, have you seen the Harry and Meghan documentary? No, I wanted to start it, but I watched White Lotus, obviously. We watched two episodes last night. It's pretty crazy. I will tell you this, though.

It's fucking bonkers, and it's but just like beautiful yft fodder for me great one of the things is is like harry and megan are told by a friend they're like you should do a uh a video journal a video like blog of like your lives it's called a vlog a vlog exactly and uh you should document what you're going through and everything. And probably like this was like subtext, but because we can sell this to Netflix later. But I wish that friend had said, hey, don't forget to shoot this in landscape. Because there is nothing more annoying than going from landscape to portrait in your little vlog on Netflix. Very true.

Do better. Do better. Just do better. Also, there's this like weird kind of narrative that Megan had no clue who Harry was and like had no clue about the royal family. Yada, yada, yada, yada. Shut the

fuck up. Sister, everyone in this country knows about the royal family all right we all know about the grandma who won't die even though she's dead r.i.p and then we all know about charles who cheated on die and then die ended up getting killed by the paparazzi and left these two young boys to fend for themselves in a magical castle everyone knows the story. What are you talking? I am a boy. Okay. I'm a boy who likes sports. I am not. You're a bro. I'm a bro today. Even I know about Prince Harry. Okay. So you are a woman who was an actor who in the fucking documentary, you see her being Little Red Riding Hood

in Into the Woods, okay? So that means you know about Disney princesses. Any young girl who knows about princesses knows about the royal family. Don't believe you think you're a liar. It's fucking ridiculous, number one. Number two, she calls him H and he calls her M and it's so fucking weird.

Why are you guys calling each other that? That's so like, what are you like secret agents? You know, why are you calling him by the, there are a couple of like bro friends I have where I'll be like, hey T, what up T, you know, but not someone who I'm married to. Fascinating. Yeah. I could see like i could see him calling her m that's kind of cute h is not cute in any world no like hey h h i don't like it what when you watch it you're gonna hear it and you're gonna be like ah let's not say that i wish

that producer would be like hey we're not gonna to do that one. Okay? You guys are super cute, but let's not do that one. That's annoying. It's just so like not cute. You know? Megan has the most amazingly annoyingly named friends. She has a friend named Silver Tree. Okay? Definitely renamed yourself Silver Tree.

And I hate that for you because it doesn't seem like you're indigenous or something. And like, that's like your, you know, tribal name. I think that you're just pretentious. That's what I think. And then there's also a friend named Nacho, which is great. I love Nacho. This is all an indictment

on like how shitty British tabloids are effectively. Like that's all this is. The tabloids feed the popularity of the royal family. The royal family's popularity allows them to continue to be in pseudo power. And it's just like one like cyclical thing after another and one feeds the other and yada, yada, yada. And that's all it is. It just got going against the tabloids, which yeah, go for it. They all seem like fucking monsters. And to a lesser degree, Sarah has to deal with this and your sister has to deal with this.

And it's annoying, for sure. And being protected because you're a public figure is a bullshit thing. That's one thing that I hated when I was studying journalism law. Anyways, it's all this indictment on the tabloids and stuff. It becomes racial or like

at least some racial undertones. And one of the things is that she's from straight out of Compton ripping off Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dog and effectively saying that she is a woman of color from like the bad side of Los Angeles. And then come to find out that she like grew up like in the Valley. She went to Northwestern, had a double degree. Like it's so ridiculous what these tabloids were saying about someone who is like very, very well-educated, comes from a very good family. Her dad worked in Hollywood. It sucks that that became the through line, the storyline for this entire family. I do feel for them. I really do. Like as much as I can make fun of like the way they call each other, those names are like their friends' names and all that kind of stuff. I do

feel for them. But then there's also this, if you didn't want the limelight, why are you making a documentary? You know? But then it's like, well well the narrative has been everyone else talking about me i think i want to set the record straight which i understand that as i'm two episodes in my overwhelming thing is i do feel bad for megan but i feel really bad for harry because i feel like he is he's still damaged from his mom passing yeah and i think a lot of people hold that against him they've weaponized that against him a little bit. Anyways, it's fascinating. You should go watch it. I definitely, definitely will watch it.

You got anything? You won't give a shit about this. And there's not a whole lot to say about it. But if you watched Firefly Lane season one, season two is out. Oh, nice. It's really cute. Did you watch it? You didn't.

I have no idea what Firefly Lane is in the first place. Well, it was a book by Kristen Hanna that they turned into a series. It stars Katherine Heigl. It's really a kind of about like two best friends that grew up together. Very different like family lives or whatever. Katherine Heigl is really the lead. She grows up to be like a super famous news anchor, like TV personality. Um, and it's really just the story arc of their lives and relationships and all kinds of stuff. Um,

definitely a girl's show. I wouldn't recommend that you watch it Wells. Um, but gals, if you like, um, you know, a nice, easy, um, watch that's like feel good, but also about some real shit. Highly recommend. Okay. I got in the Christmas spirit. So I got some Christmas reviews. Oh, okay, great.

I'm going to start with the least favorite thing. Okay. I watched Spirited, which is like the new Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell film. Yep. So have you seen it? No,

I was, I wanted to watch it even though I don't like comedy. I just love Ryan Reynolds and apparently so does Shania Twain. Love that. We were there for that. I just love Ryan Reynolds, and apparently so does Shania Twain. Love that. We were there for that. I rewatched that clip so many times just to see the pure joy on Ryan Reynolds' face. The shock and joy. Yeah. It's so good.

I have a funny story about that. So Billy Porter was the one who introduced her to win whatever. And so we're all back in the green room hanging out having drinks and billy porter is walking around with this cell phone just jamming out to shania twain and so i think duane wade was there and duane wade or like george lopez is such a name droppy story but whatever it's what was happening they were like do you are you not familiar with shania twain's music and he was billy porter was like oh no I love her music I'm getting in the fucking mood and we're like

yeah so then we're like turn it up so then we were all like dancing around to like don't impress me much before like she went and sang it and that was a pretty fun moment in time love that love Shania so much she still looks so good too so good

anyway Ryan Reynolds Will Ferrell, not didn't love. Okay. So here's the thing. It's a musical full on musical. Huh? And I bet you didn't know that. No. Here's my complaint with it. I love Ryan Reynolds and I love Will Ferrell. And I love a lot of the other people on the show or in the movie. I don't love them because they're great singers. I love them because they're really funny. They're singing so much that there's like no real opportunity for

dialogue that would be really, really funny. And their singing is not that great where I'm like, oh man, I gotta, you know, stick with this. Yeah. So unless you like really, really, really, really love both those guys and like musicals, I would say it's a pass.

Okay. I know it's tough. That is tough. But it is what it is. Now onto some that I would suggest doing. Finally watched Falling for Christmas. And that is Lindsay Lohan and our good buddy Court Overstreet. Yep. Let me just tell you why this movie's great. Okay. First of all,

Court's great. He is great. And Lindsay's fine. She's great. Lindsay's Lindsay. She's great. Yeah. Here's why this movie's great. Because it knows what it is it's doing the hallmark christmas movie thing but it knows that that thing is cheesy and kind of bad and it like leans into it and it does it very very well it's almost meta in a way where it's like it knows how bad christmas movies on hallmark and lifetime are and so it's like leaning into that thing in a really, really tongue in cheek way. And it's very good. I agree. Whereas versus like the other one I talked about last week with Justin Hartley,

I don't think it knows that it's horrible. It's just bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like, yeah, I agree with you. Like at least this one kind of knows and leans into it. And then we watched another one last night, which is on Hallmark. And it's my buddy Tanner Novlin's new movie called Christmas Class Reunion. It is like the stereotypical girl comes back home and runs into the guy that she didn't like and yada, yada, yada.

And she was a valedictorian, so she's in charge of the christmas class reunion and you know the guy that she hated in high school of course now is in charge of event planning in town and that's tanner's role and now she has to deal with him and lo and behold And behold, he's a widower with the cutest little girl. And it's so great. It's right up your alley. Okay. And also, I think the girl was in Friday Night Lights. Oh, who is it?

I don't know. Oh, Amy Teagarden. That is fabulous. I'll watch that for sure. Yeah, do it. There's a lot of great TV that is about to come out. Okay, give it to me. Emily in Paris is about to come out, season three.

Emily in Paris? Emily in Paris. Also, 1924 is about to come out, the sequel to 1883. Oh, yeah. That's about to come out. Also, I saw a preview last night on HBO for a new show called something White House. Did you see that? No. Oh my God. It looks incredible. The cast was like stacked. I don't think it comes out until early next year, but super excited about that. It looked really good. Oh, you know what just came out that I haven't started yet? New season of Too Hot to Handle. Oh, we started it. How is it?

It's pretty great. Okay. It's my, it's one of my favorite trashy reality shows. Yeah, it's pretty good. And the people on it are all very attractive. Of course. That's the whole thing. Yeah, they're too hot to handle. Yeah, duh. The way that they trick these idiots into doing this show is they think they're on some other type of reality show like they always do. And they have Mario Lopez

like in front of like a private jet to be like, you're about to go on a crazy adventure. And da da da da da. I think crazy adventure. And I think that's awesome. And I think that's funny. My thing is that, Hey, um, too hot to handle next season.

Can I be like the fake host of it? Seriously. People, I think we'll believe they'd be like, Oh yeah. I think, yeah. Wells would host the new like dating show.

You're right. I know. You're totally right. We need to call. And I go, we got to, my people need to reach out to their people and get in on that. They do.

Yeah. Yeah, it's great. I know we have a lot of female listeners, and I assume a lot of them are married. And this is maybe very specific to my plight in the world, but I think we got to talk about it. Okay. Hey, ladies, if you're in a different room and you're trying to talk to your husband or boyfriend, he can't hear you. He can't. And there's nothing more fucking annoying than hearing like, what?

I think she's talking. And then getting up and walking to a different room and being like, what? And she's like, full conversation. You know I fucking can't hear you. You're in a different room. The TV's she's like full conversation you know i fucking can't hear you you're in a different room the tv's on oh i thought you could hear me do you think i have sonar hearing like i'm a dolphin or something how would i be able to hear you lady lady and i can't tell you how many times i'd be like i cannot hear you it's so frustrating just come into the room and talk to me. And it's always

me having to get up and be like, what is she saying? And then going into another room, like, what? And it's always something stupid, being like, oh my God, I can't believe that, like, I got two of these same pairs of shoes. What? This is what you brought me in here for?

I imagine that that's every guy's having to deal with this. I know I'm not the only one. That's good. That's good. Really good. Oh man. Well, and I, you know, big sports guy, bro. Wells is here. Did you happen to watch the UFC fight the other night? No, I didn't. Was it good? I do like, I do like Patty the badty. Oh, well, okay. So he won. Yeah, but it was controversial, right? I'm telling you, like, listen, I don't claim to know much about UFC, but I watched that whole damn fight. I thought it was pretty obvious the other guy won.

Yeah. So, like, yeah, huge upset, I would say. Interesting. Yeah. So I'd love to, you know, know what everybody else thought, because I was was just really like, you know, at the end of the fight there, whatever, the ref stands with one of money side and like holds their wrist right and waits to like hold up the one that won, you know, he's extending there with both of them. And fucking Patty's over here acting like he already won. Right. His hands up on the other side.

He's just like bowing to the crowd like he's fucking royalty. And I thought for sure they were going to like say the other guy won it would just be such so embarrassing for him because he's over here like walking around like a fucking winner and i really thought he was the loser and then lo and behold patty fucking won it yeah i'm sorry the other guy was better interesting yeah have you heard of this open AI thing? Chat DDP or whatever. I've been seeing on TikTok a lot. And it's a new website that uses AI to do things for you.

Okay. Like what? Anything. I opened up an account and started asking it questions. up an account and started asking it questions. I asked it to write a song about losing my faith in religion, similar to Dylan and Dawes. And this is what it came back with. Here's a possible sad song about losing faith in religion in the style of Bob Dylan and Dawes. Verse one, I used to believe in the stories they told about a God who loved and protected us all. But now I feel lost and all alone as I question everything I've known. Chorus, I've lost my faith and I don't know what to do.

All the answers I once had are no longer true. I'm struggling to find my way in the dark. I've lost my faith and it's tearing me apart. Verse two, I thought I had a purpose and a plan, but now it all seems like a fairy tale. I'm trying to hold on to what's left of my soul, but it's hard to keep the faith when you're feeling so alone. Chorus, I've lost my faith and I don't know what to do. All the answers I once had are no longer true. I'm struggling to find my way in the dark. I've

lost my faith and it's tearing me apart. The bridge, I don't know what the future holds, but I know I can't keep pretending i have to face the truth no matter how it hurts i've lost my faith and i'm trying to find my way back to the light and then chorus i've lost my faith and i don't know what to do all the answers i once had it ruckin wrote this song in like two seconds man and it's like not fucking bad. I then asked it to write a funny scene in an episode of Seinfeld. And it did. And it was fucking funny.

I mean, listen, the robots are taking over. We have to write our thank you notes. Oh, we should definitely have them do it. So I asked it, hey, can you write a wedding thank you note for someone named Aunt Casey who made us homemade handmade towels but didn't come to the wedding? How long did it take to get this result? Is it immediate that it just

pops it right out or does it take a minute? It's pretty immediate. This is what it wrote. Dear Aunt Casey, we just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the beautiful handmade towels you gave us as a wedding gift. They are truly one of a kind and we appreciate all the time and effort you put into making them.

We also want to say we're sad that you missed us on our special day, but your presence was there in spirit and it meant the world to us and we're so grateful to have you in our lives. Thank you again for everything. We're so lucky to have an aunt like you. With love, your names.

What? What? Are you going to send it? I hate to say this. Everyone's getting fucking AI thank you letters for our wedding. Guys, it's happening. Honestly, if I had to get married,

I'd have it right. My wedding vows. Holy bonker shit. Like, I know. So here's the thing. I know it's the beginning of the end. It's very bad. Like this.

It's very bad. This is very bad. It's not good at all. It's going to take all of our jobs. Yes. Oh, and if you don't think that I asked it, hey, what's some good podcast topics? It came back. Well, I can't tell you exactly what you should do, but here are

some good like ideas. You should talk about things that you like or things that interest you. Oh, fascinating. And I'm like, fuck, that's our show. So anyways, I know that this is bad. I know that. Really bad, yeah. What makes humans human is our creativity. And if something can do our creativity for us, then we're all going to be so fucking boring. Yeah, it's not good.

It sucks. It really does. And I was seeing how it's just going to ruin schools. Because you can be like, hey, write a book report about Catcher in the Rye, and it will totally do that for you. So teachers are like, okay okay so we can't have send home homework anymore no you can go into it this is so fucking bummed i mean like so there are things about it that are cool and things about it or i'm like that sucks so i went and i went

in my to my refrigerator and i typed in all the ingredients i had in my refrigerator and then said i want to make a soup. What should I make? And it came back with a fucking recipe for me for soup. That's great. I know. I was also like, I want to make very specific dish. And I asked it, I want to make this. You have a good recipe for it.

And then they said, yes. And so this is the recipe. I said, okay, now can you write me a shopping list? And it wrote me a shopping list. Taking jobs left and right. We don't need to think anymore. No, I'm scary. We haven't been for a while.

No. And that goes back to like the TikTok algorithm, which I don't like of like the things that like the videos that I work hard on and the videos that I think are like good, don't do well. And then the ones that are brain dead do well. And it's like, we're not promoting being fucking creative anymore. Oh, it's tragic. I'll get off my soapbox now.

I have a quick question. Yeah. Where the hell is your white curtain? Oh yeah. I decided I hated it. Are you kidding me? I know I hated it. There's no personality.

I like what's behind me. You're telling me that I got this whole fucking setup for no fucking reason? Hey, I did too. No, you had it already. I bought it. I bought it. I bought it because we were told to do it and I hated it. You said you already had the step and repeat for parties.

I do, but I had to buy the sheet. Oh, well, I took down all of my picture frames on the wall. Do you want me to bring it back? Fucking what? Yeah, I do. Why? It's so boring. I don't know.

The red's just very aggressive. Couldn't you have picked a different color, like gray? I guess. I need to redo this whole studio anyways. You really do. Maybe I'll bring it back. Let's ask the wife tears. Should we bring it back or not?

Well, let's see what this video looks like this week, and then we can decide. Okay. We should take some calls, not? Well, let's see what this video looks like this week, and then we can decide. Okay. We should take some calls, yeah? Yeah, definitely. Hi, I'm Wendy. Long time fan of the show. Love y'all so much. You make every week better.

Thanks. My favorite thing, especially for Wells, going back to old seasons of the Road Rules Challenge from early 2000s, this time of year. challenge from early 2000s, this time of year, because just as it's getting cold, it's going back to their roots of going back to the islands and just getting really drunk and doing low budget challenges. It's amazing. Also, can you just let Heidi Klum be a worm? She's so hot all the time. No.

Sometimes you just want to be a worm. Leave her alone. No. Anyway, love y'all so much. Thank you again. And we'll listen next alone. Leave her alone. Anyway, love y'all so much. Thank you again. And we'll listen next week. Well, thanks. No, I had to make fun of Heidi Klum

because she's trying way too hard with way too big of a budget. It's too much. It's funny. Speaking of the challenge, I was, when I was backstage at the People's Choice Awards, I was hanging out with The Miz

and we become good buddies. And I was asking him, I was like, I was like, would you ever do the challenge again? He's like, no, you know, my career now has gone into a different direction. I'm on this reality store and I'm on WWE. I'm a reality star. He and his wife have his own show. I know.

And then he's also like a huge WWE guy. And he's like, no, I never do it. But like, because I was like, we're obsessed with it. And he's like, oh, yeah, we still watch it. it. See what this one's about. The subject is killer Sally. I don't know what this could be, but I'm excited for it. Hi, Wilson Brandy. This is Hope from California. So it was close to home for me and it was pretty nuts. It was really good.

We watched it all in one night. So I suggest that. Thanks. Love you guys. Bye. Killer Sally. Interviews with friends, family, and Sally McNeil herself

charted bodybuilding couples' rocky marriage and its shocking end in a Valentine's Day murder. Killer Sally. That sounds pretty great. That does sound good. I'm into that. All right, we're gonna look into that.

Thank you. Thank you, Hope. What else we We're going to look into that. Thank you. Thank you, Hope. What else we got? Hi, Les and Brandy. This is Jasmine calling from the north slash central. I'm calling from Sacramento. I wanted to call and just say I'm a big fan. Second traffic right now, so I thought I'd call in and say I'm a big fan.

Been listening since day one. I feel like I am a secret love child of you both. As well as I'm a big golfer. My current bucket list is to golf in every state. So I would love some recommendations of California states or golf places that you golf at. And, Brandi, we read, listen, and watch, watch like all of the same music so love you both wanted to say I do have a least favorite

thing there's a new show on Netflix called Drink Masters and I just completely don't understand how Wells is not the host of that show it's a good show but I just don't understand how Wells is not the host.

And I would love for you guys to do some live shows. I would be front row center. Love you guys. Have a good day. Bye. Is there a show you should be hosting or what? Yeah, it's called Drinkmasters. We saw it and to my manager I was like,

why the fuck did I not get this job? The other one is Barmageddon with like everyone from The Voice. It's a Carson Daly and what's the other guy? Oh. Anyways, I can't host all the shows. You could. I could. It would be great for our show.

It would be great. It would be. Golf courses outside the state. Here's the thing, lady. You live in California where there's so many good golf courses. You should try to knock off the ones in California that like need to be done. Like, Hey, let's go down from, let's go South to North. You should go down to San Diego and you should play Torrey Pines. Everyone can play it, play the North course.

It's fucking amazing. It'll blow your mind. It's really, really hard to kick your ass, but it's fine. Then come up to Los Angeles. There's a lot of really good golf courses. The problem is the really, really good ones are private, but there's a great links course out in Simi Valley called Rustic Canyon that I highly recommend. It's a very, very good course and you'll have a lot of fun. Keep on going up north. There is a amazing course in Santa Barbara called, I think, Sandpiper. It's right there by Bacara. You can't miss it. It's also public.

It's an amazing course with just views of the fucking ocean all over the place. If it was private, it would be like the next Pebble Beach. Speaking of Pebble Beach, go up to Pebble Beach. If you haven't, I assume you have, but you should go down to Pebble and play Pebble, Spyglass, Poppy Hills, The Hay, all of those courses courses it'll cost you a fucking ton of money but it's bucket list shit there's also two courses in the monterey peninsula that are unknown but absolutely amazing called bay net and black horse that i suggest so right there from the middle of the middle of the state down those are the courses you should go play what else we got here hey guys this is meredith from ohio ohio. Last week's episode, you mentioned construction and noise waking you up.

Just got to say, one of my favorite things as of recent is a sound machine. Okay. I'm not a baby. Those things you have babies listen to. For adults, turns out they're pretty great, too. I use one, and now I sleep like a baby. Also, thank you so much for sharing

Josiah and the Bonnevilles. He is so good and so glad you mentioned his cover of Taylor Swift. He's blowing up on Instagram right now and it's possibly because you shared out him to all of us and we're listening to him.

And he's just really, really unique and loves his story that he's been sharing every day. Brandy, keep sharing content for the horse girls out there. We love it. That's so fun. And what the heck does your friend Kirsten do for work? Because she travels with you all the time and I'm so jealous, but it's so fun to watch you guys travel around. And yes,

I just wanted to say hi and share my favorite things and have a great rest of your day. She wants to know about your freeloading friend. Cool. I have a couple of things to say here. Number one, sound machine is a fucking game changer. My parents have conditioned us to sleep with one number one sound machine is a fucking game changer my parents have conditioned us to sleep with one uh ever since i was a child my mom still sleeps with one it's

or like a fan if you don't you know a fan makes the same white noise right having a fan in the room i i have a travel size one i i go everywhere with it and it just i sleep with it at home too which is so like peaceful and relaxing, but there's something about it when I'm sleeping in hotel rooms, like sleeping to the same like white noise everywhere I go just kind of makes me feel like at home and like I'm not in a different place. And it's very helpful if you travel a lot and have to sleep in different places. Also, if you're staying in a loud hotel like Vegas and New York, it helps drown out that street noise or that party, you know, the party vibes.

So, yeah, like not just for babies at all. I also make my dogs sleep with one. So highly recommend. As far as Kirsten goes, hilarious. So Keys, as I like to call her, Keys actually has two full-time jobs. Keys works for iHeartMedia in marketing marketing and her job is remote. So she can work from anywhere, which is why she's able to go everywhere with me. She just takes her little laptop. And, um, usually like when I'm working, right, it's like nighttime stuff, the DJing. Um,

but occasionally there'll, there'll be times where she's got the laptop out and she's working while I'm working and we're just happened to be in, you know, some cool location. So that's what she does. And then she also, um, I meant to actually talk about this last week. She just launched, if you live in Nashville and you're looking for, um, any kind of like pre-made meals or meal prep stuff, uh, Kirsten just launched her own, um, little side hustle company. It's called keys cooks, and she's got a week long prepackaged cleanse. Like when I say prepackaged, I just mean like everything you need for the week. Like she delivers to your doorstep. Um, but it's all fresh food. Um, I think like the, the cleanse she's got is mostly greens. It's not liquid at all. It's just all green. Um, no meat or anything like that. Um, lots of good

stuff for you, like anti-inflammatories. And so she does the meal prep delivery stuff and she's got a cleanse. And then she's also got just like a regular meal prep for the week. So if you're interested in that at all and live in Nashville, cause it is just local, you should check out Keys Cooks on Instagram and it's K-I-E-S, Keys, cause Kirsten. All right. Last one. Team Brandi is the name of this one. I don't, I don't like that at all. I don't like where this is going at all. Keep those coming. Brandi is the name of this one. I don't like that at all. I don't like where this is going at all, guys. Keep those coming.

Hi, Brandi and Wells. I'm going to say Brandi's name first because we always say Wells and Brandi, and I feel like she needs a shout out. Anyway, my name is Matt. Okay, first of all, that's not me having a big ego. It actually was planned when we started the show. I said, should we be Wells and Brandy or Brandy and Wells and you were the one. I know, you're

right. Okay. You're right, that was my call. Okay, cool. It does sound better. I agree, it does sound better. Yeah, I don't know why, but. I'm from New York City, shout out to Sarah, but I'm from Denver, so shout out to Brandy's in Denver.

Anyway, I'm still glad, I'm so glad that you guys are still doing the podcast. It's a great pick-me-up for the middle of the week. And one of my favorite things is hearing about all the behind-the-scenes Backlash Paradise content. But Wells, I have a bone to pick with you. You always get on Brandy for not having any content. But then she brings up house of the dragon like ready to talk and you tell us that you fell asleep yeah during the biggest show on tv right

now like that's not cool so i feel like you can't ride on her anymore for not bringing content to the podcast um also would love to hear some cooking recs, maybe some favorite winter meals to look snacks like Brandy or to have an erotic grandpa bod like Wells. Just kidding. Love you, Wells. Not trying to get rid of you or anything, but also if Wells ever needs a break, we should get Olivia back on the podcast

because she has some great book recommendations. I still follow her Goodreads account and I love her. I still follow her Goodreads account and I love her. Anyway, I also can't wait to see Brandy on Bachelor in Paradise potentially next year. However, I feel like, well, we should do her a salad and like work some of your Bachelor magic to try to get her set up with some of the guys from the season that she said was hot. And get them to slide into her DMs because we all want that to happen for her. Anyway, love you guys. Bye. I love her. She loves you apparently.

Girl, slide into my DMs. We need to be besties. My name is Madigan. Madigan. Girl, slide on in. I'll be on the lookout. We should be besties. Madigan. Well, she just talked about book recs. I have a book rec. I'm reading a book right now that I really, really like.

For all you sci-fi dorks out there, I'm reading a book called Leviathan Wakes. It's a New York Times bestselling series. So there's a bunch of them. And it takes place in the future in space. And in this world, there's a colony on Mars. There's a colony of people that live on the outer belt that are like kind of like miners and there are people still live on Earth. It tracks two different storylines that intertwine at some point, I think. this like a rich people's daughter. Uh, and they're not really sure where she was, but they think that she was, you know, in the asteroid belt on the outer, on the outer realm or whatnot, and they can't find her. And then it also tracks a, um, a shipping freighter that was taking basically big chunks of ice from the ice belt to the planets and they get a, a distress call from

a ship. And so like, I guess like space laws, you have to stop and help and they get a distress call from a ship. And so like, I guess like space laws, you have to stop and help and they go and help. And it ends up being this ploy with a bomb inside that explodes and kills a bunch of people. And the guy who stops to help makes the mistake of realizing that the bomb had some parts that were from Mars and sends out a message being like, we just got bombed. It was, it was the Martians that did it and kind of like

starts this war. And so now it's like these two stories of like this cop trying to find this girl and like this crazy thing that's happening, uh, on this ship out in space and how those things intertwine. Anywaysine anyways very very good i uh i'm only like halfway through it but i maybe not even that maybe a quarter of the way through it but i really like it sounds really good yeah just how's the high feeling right now you know it's uh it comes in waves okay yeah that's that's definitely um is that right that's definitely shrimps i don't think i like that yeah yeah it's like it's like whatever i lean into it like just heightens that yeah so when i'm like talking a lot and then it like and it like amps me up more but if i like sit for a

second in space i'm like really fucking spaced yeah yeah yeah i don't know if I like that. I want it to keep me hype. Yeah. Go out. Go take a little. I'm playing fish, yeah. I couldn't hear it a little bit. Go out and take a walk around. Go pet some horses. I think the coolest thing about mushrooms is your perception of people's energy or animals' energy.

You can definitely pick up on it more than you normally can. You'll be drawn to things that have like very good energy and then there'll be things where you're like okay I gotta stay away from you I don't like what's happening over there. I need to come over here. It's very very weird and kind of coolly intuitive and animals are

generally always put off really good energy and you'll probably really like going to the barn and stuff. I don't know. I have one pig that just puts off bad energy all the time. Go check it out. It's like you become a beacon for people's vibes. It's so weird.

Is this our outro? Yeah, this is our outro. Because I have some announcements. What do you got? Quickly. I am working to get the official announcement out early this week, but I am playing in Miami on New Year's Eve. And I know like New Year's is one of those things where you like you need some heads up. So you have time to like, you know, book flights and lodging and stuff like that.

So if you're looking for something to do on New Year's Eve, I am playing on South Beach in Miami at a club called M2. It's going to be super fun. So if you already find yourself in Miami and don't have plans yet, come on out, party with us. It'll be super cool. And then also, I think I mentioned it last week, but I am doing holiday giveaways on my Instagram every week of the month. We did one last week for, I gave away like a really luxurious blanket and I'll announce the winner. She already knows she won. Her name's Jen. But I'll announce the winner today and then also the next giveaway. So make sure you're paying attention to my stories.

On Tuesdays is when I announce the giveaway for the week and then you only have 48 hours to enter before I pick a winner. So make sure you're paying attention. Alright, sounds good. I'm giving away something really cool this week. So it's Wednesday. So that means you have the rest of the day today to check it out if you haven't already. No, I'm not giving anything away. It's good vibes. Alright, well, have a good week. So it's Wednesday. So that means like you have the rest of the day today to check it out. If you haven't already, I'm not giving you anything away. It's good vibes. All right. Well,

have a good week. All right. Good luck out there. I want to, I want a full recap next week of like how you really feel about it. Should I do this again next week or take a break? Sit with it, experience it. Okay. And then come back to me next week. And if you want to do it again next week, I think it's funny if you do. Yeah. Was I really not normal? You were pretty normal. I did notice you spaced out a couple times. Yeah.

Like when you get on your rants and I'm just quiet for a minute, then it's like, yeah. Yeah. That's okay. You got to come out here and we'll go on a hike or something. We'll go to Big Sur and do some weird shit. Yeah, drown in the ocean, White Lotus style. That's right. Sounds great.

They're not drugs. Yes, they are. No, they're from the earth. I wheeled around because I didn't hear what you had said. I saw you dancing with the lay you up on Limor's bed. And I was foggy rather groggy. You held me to my car. The binding belt enclosed in me.

A sample in a jar God, fish is great. Especially when you're on drugs. All right, see you guys. Not on drugs. Yes, you are. No, I'm not. I don't know what to tell.

Yeah. And the robots are taking over. They are taking over. That is very true. And we're just all on drugs. This podcast has been brought to you by Podcast Nation.
