I feel like it just kind of livens up the room, if you will. And that's important. It's all about vibe in the podcast world.

Not really. How's everybody doing? We made it through the holidays. January's almost over. Like what, what, what happened? I feel like we just finished the year and now January's almost over. It's like, it's going, everything's going too fast.

Let's slow down. Let's take a break. Let's take a breather. Losing it, man. Does anyone else's parents do this? My dad loves, loves the screenshot. And so he'll find a picture that he wants to send to us. And then he screenshots that.

And then he sends that to us. And in the screenshot, you can see the little icon that's a square that has an arrow going up. And I have told him, I said, once you find the picture you want, just press that button and text it to me. told him, I said, once you find the picture you want, just press that button and text it to me. Because I know that your entire photo album is just screenshots upon screenshots upon screenshots upon screenshots. And I've told him, I've shown him, he doesn't give a fuck. He's like, yeah, I've got my system, okay? I remember when we showed him screenshots, he lost his mind. Wait a second, if I press these two buttons,

it takes a picture of the screen? Freaking hilarious, man. Should we call the brand out? Let's call the brand out. Let's call her up right now. It is time. The time is now. Hi. time. The time is now. Hi.

Hi. My life is... Okay, what's wrong? I really don't think the YFTers want to hear about it. I think they do. Pretty sure they're sick of hearing about the tragedies of living on a farm. Yeah. So feel free to cut everything I'm about to say.

I'll be the judge of that. I feel like it's the same song and dance every fucking January. Well, maybe you shouldn't live on a farm. I know. I'm literally starting to reconsider. Yeah. So what is the main issue right now? Okay.

Here's the issue. Okay. It's winter and winter always sucks. And I've been here enough winters that I understand what needs to happen. And I feel like I was prepared, right? Like I had X amount of heated buckets. I had X amount of trough heaters so that all these fucking animals could have water. Because it's frozen, right? Like if it drops below 26 below 26 27 all the water freezes and nobody has water so like having heated water is of utmost importance okay okay and shelters another one so

like some of them come in some of them can live out but everyone needs water so i have spent the past three days prepping for this storm so that everyone's got fucking water yeah and last year everything worked great and i didn't have any issues i plug everything in this year and all of a sudden i'd say seven of my 10 outlets don't work so that's cool so i had to then run everything to the outlets that do work yeah Spent hours running electric extension cords, of course, all the extension cords were tangled as fuck, spent hours untangling extension cords and tying them up so nobody can trip on them

or chew on them and all these things. Finally, last night at like 10 p.m., get everybody the fucking water that they need. Got everything plugged in, got everything working and start to turn the lights off to leave the barn. And my friend Emily was here with me, thank God, helped me. And we look at each other and we're like, what's that smell?

Smelled like something was burning. Okay. The worst thing that could happen is something burning and the barn catching on fire and all the animals burning alive. It's my biggest fear. So we like panic and walk over to the light switch to turn the lights off. And the light switch is on fucking fire. Like it burned my hand. It was so hot and

that's what was burning. So we were like, fuck. So we turned everything off. Everything we had spent hours working for, like to get all this water working, we had to turn it off because it was all overheating. Okay. So I was just so defeated that like everything I've worked for for three days just didn't matter because I had to turn it all off. So the barn didn't catch on fire. And so I was like trying to come to terms with the fact that all my work went to nothing and none of the animals were going to have water all night. And that was going to keep me up all night. And so we're like, all right, well, let's just go to the house. We're like, we're so cold. Let's go to the house and just warm up. And we'll like maybe reconvene okay i have a little

it's a kubota do you know what a kubota is it's like a little like tractor tractor sort of not tractor really it's like a it's like a truck like a utility but smaller side by side it's like a little side by side but it's utility has like a truck it has like a bed yeah it's meant it's meant for like farm work yeah and four-wheel. And that is how I get up and down the mountain that I live on. To get to and from the horses or to and from my car at the bottom of the driveway. So I drive the Kubota up the mountain to the house. All fine. All normal.

Then I drive down the driveway to get something out of my car. Quarter up the driveway, the Kubota dies. Why? Just stalls out, rolls down the hill and i'm like fuck so i like do all take all the steps right like i know that if i turn the key like three quarters of the way it heats the oil and once the oil is heated it starts better and it runs better so i like sit there and i do all these things that i have done in the past the work and try it again no nothing nothing so the kubota is stranded basically in the fucking street i have no

transportation i am now schlepping up and down the mountain in the fucking street I have no transportation I am now schlepping up and down the mountain in the snow back and forth to the horses I have no water it's all gone to absolute shit and then I try to podcast and my camera doesn't work like what is happening well my sister still lives in Nashville and you guys got dumped on I saw so much snow is there but here's the thing we did but prepared. I knew, I knew we were going to get dumped on. I've spent three days doing my best to be prepared. But like the problem with this farm is that I'm always behind. Like even when I'm think I'm caught up and I'm good, like I can never get ahead of this farm. Like there's always something wrong. There's always something to fix. Nothing's ever working properly. And it's very frustrating. And this is

why people don't live on farms anymore. And they live in cities. You just need to find a guy who you will marry. But like, I don't know what's a guy going to do that. I can't. All that. That needs to be boy work. That's not girl work. But like, even if there was a guy here, I wouldn't have water. Like my animals wouldn't have water. It would be his problem. I mean, they can't. But like, even if there was a guy here, I wouldn't have water. Like, my animals wouldn't have water. Yeah, but it would be his problem. You need to focus on podcasting and DJing. No, it's forever my problem. It's forever my...

These animals are mine. It's always my problem. So what's the alternative? You're going to sell it off? No. The alternative is the animals go live at a boarding facility and I don't have them at home. But that's just not... Like, you can't enjoy it as much if they're not at home. I don't know what to do. But that's just not like you can't enjoy it as

much if they're not home. I don't know what to do. Who would pay for that? Not me. Yeah. See? I'd pay for mine. Yeah. It's just all a nightmare. And I'm just so frustrated because I really thought I was prepped. Yeah. Right. Like I had my stuff. I went to the store. I stocked up on food and shavings and like everything. I really thought I was prepared and it just all went to shit. I'm sorry. That sucks. So that's where I'm at. Yeah.

Okay. Well, I'm doing a little bit better, I guess. Yeah. You're in fucking LA where it's 65 and sunny wearing a beanie. How's that? Yeah. Well, the house is kind of cold right now, but. No, it's not.

It's 18 degrees. It's outside my house. Don't talk to me about the house being cold. It's 57 degrees. Thank you very much. Don't talk to me about the house being cold. It's 57 degrees. Thank you very much. Fuck you very much. Hey, listen. Brandy, you have a house here. You can come live here.

I don't want to. Okay, well, then I don't want to hear the bitchin' and moanin' about living on a farm. I prefaced with, I don't know if you guys want to hear this. I know, but I'm just saying you could be seven minutes from my house. Nah. That's too close.

Way too close. We need to be separated by. I think so. Middle America. Yeah. That's what I got going on. All right. Well, that's good.

Yeah. I don't really have any complaints right now other than my lips. Chapped. So chapped. I can't get ahead any complaints right now other than my lips. Chapped. So chapped. I can't get ahead of it. Me either. And it started when I went to the Golden Match or wedding and I went and played golf. And so we were in the desert.

So I guess it was dry there. It was dry there. And I'm FaceTiming Sarah kind of drunk after the thing. My lips are bright red. She's like, who have you been making out with? And I'm like, no, It's the fucking atmosphere who has just dried my lips out to nothing. You do kind of look

handsome with real red lips. But since then I've been putting... Why does it look like you're wearing lipstick? I mean, it looks like I'm wearing lipstick. I look like a pretty boy. You know? I'm a real fancy boy. I can get ahead of it. All I'm doing is just

pulling off... I'm like a god fancy boy. Okay. I can get ahead of it. And it's just, all I'm doing is just pulling off, like I'm like a god dang lizard over here, just pulling off lizard scales. You pull it off? What else am I going to do? You can't keep it on there. You need a lip scrub. I don't know what that is. Is that?

I bet you Sarah's got one. Probably. But. You should ask. Ask for a little sugar scrub. Yeah. And it just like, it like exfoliates it off versus like. Sugar scrub? Yeah, like a sugar scrub. Okay. And it just like exfoliates it off versus like- Sugar scrub?

Yeah, like a sugar scrub. Okay, I don't think that's a real thing. It is absolutely a real thing. So is it a scrub that's got sugar on it? Yes, that's what the scrub is. It's little sugar granules. Oh, and so you're just filing down your lips? You're just, yeah, exfoliating naturally

instead of like picking it off and then bleeding. It's the same thing. It's either the sugar's ripping it off or my fingernails like picking it off and then bleeding. It's the same thing. It's either the sugar's ripping it off or my fingernails are ripping it off. No, the sugar's not ripping. It's gently exfoliating. Just trust. It's ripping just at a microscopic level.

Try it once and then come back and tell me. Sarah, I need a sugar scrub. You got sugar scrubs? She definitely does. Maybe. Maybe not. I don't know. Okay, should we? She definitely does. Maybe. Maybe not. I don't know. Okay.

Should we? Let's start. Okay. You want me to do it since you've had so much work recently? Bros and hoes, you're listening to Your Favorite Thing Podcast with... Wells and Brandy. All right. Quick PSA for those of you out there who rent.

Yeah. It was so much fun. I saw everybody. I saw everybody. But my favorite thing that happened at the night before the Emmy's party.

Do you remember when I told you that I was, I think I went to like the InStyle party, like, you know, like the Oscars or whatever it was, Emmy's party years ago. And Kiernan Culkin came up and was like, hey, my wife's a big fan. Can we take a picture?

Yes. And I was like, hell yeah, man. And this was before Succession happened. And then Succession happened and I was like, Roman Roy knows who I am. And that's kind of really all I need. Right. So we're at the party and who walks up to us, to Sarah and I, but Kiernan Culkin and his wife. And he goes, man, I don't know if you remember this, but years ago. And I go, bro, I've been telling this story for years and I don't think anyone believes me. And he was like, what? And I was like, you don't understand. Like, I'm like, I was so excited

that you guys knew who I was. And so his wife was like, I posted the picture. I, and I was like, we didn't tag me. I didn't see it. And so she finds it on her phone and she's like, we must recreate this. And so I do like this, we do the same picture. And so she finds it on her phone and she's like, we must recreate this. And so I do like this, we do the same picture. And so I need to reach out to her and be like, I need both of these pictures because I don't know if they were so funny and so nice. And he was like, he was like, I gotta be honest with you. I watched like the first like five episodes of like three seasons ago. And then I went to work on succession and I stopped watching. My wife loves it. And I'm like, totally fine. Totally like totally fine however i did watch every episode of uh every season of

yeah and i was rooting for you to take over and you didn't i know but it was fun those are always weird events because it's just it's celebrity overload where you're like oh there's so and so there's so andso but the funny thing is is that i've gone to that party for so long and i still am like a total novelty to all of them everyone's like okay tell us about did brayden really wait you know like all that kind of stuff and i'm like i'm amazed that you know what this what this i am too yeah but i guess like trash tv for lack of a better term is just like maybe like an outlet for them. Yeah. You know, I don't know. Yeah. I mean, everyone likes a little like dumb TV.

Nicholas Braun, who plays Cousin Greg on Succession, Sarah and him have known each other forever. Like they worked on a movie together. And like the first thing he says to me, he comes up to me. He's like, well, great season, dude. you had me fucking hooked and i was just like no what that's amazing i'm just like what the fuck is happening here you know yeah i do by the way we have a new soundboard sound oh boy this one i think you're gonna like okay great why after you sent me this oh rain wilson got together with this tiktoker who is really great she makes a lot of videos uh like singing videos and so this is the newest sound board edition we're naming it office what the fuck okay you like it i do yeah pretty good that's good pretty good that's funny do you have

some favorite things bro i don't know if i do wow all right this is me or like is nothing new coming out right now oh i watched a lot of new stuff you did yes is it new stuff or is it stuff you've just been meaning to watch i think it was relatively new stuff relatively new yeah okay let's hear it you dive in okay i will start will start with my favorite thing is the new season of True Detective. Oh, is it good? Yeah, so by the way, they sent me this like promo box that like I had to like figure out the code to the lock

and I'm not smart, bro. We gave us this flashlight with like this piece, this black piece of paper. And if you put the flashlight on it, you could see like it revealed like another picture, but didn't have the code on it. And then I feel like, when is the air date? And I put that into the lock and that opened it.

So I'm a genius. Interesting. I was such a huge fan of True Detective season one. Woody Harrelson, Matthew McConaughey,hey so good and then it did kind of fall off i think i don't know if it was just hard to live up to i think so so the new one is on hbo uh or max i don't whatever it's called um it's called true detective night country is this season four? A new chapter in the acclaimed series. Season four, yes. The cast, really good.

Yeah. Anthology series in which police investigations unearth the personal and professional secrets of those involved, both within and outside the law. True Detective, Night Country. It's Jodie Foster is like the main cop. Billie Eilish, Sean, that opens up the show, which. A song? Yeah. Oh.

It's great. So anyway, yeah, Jodie Foster's in it and it takes place in Enos, Alaska. Oh, cool. So like penis, but without the P. Alaska. Oh, cool. So like penis, but without the P. So it kind of opens up with, I assume it's like a scientific laboratory where there's all these people working there.

It's like one of those places I think where they drill in the ice and they figure out like what the world was like, you know, millions of years or whatever it is. There's a guy who comes to make a delivery and like no one's at the lab anymore. And all that's left is someone's tongue on the ground. Ew. And so it's so early that like, I don't really know where we're going with this, but Jodie Foster's character also like investigated an old murder that like wasn't solved. That was kind of similar where a girl lost her tongue

and all this stuff. But it was so long ago that it couldn't be the same tongue and yada, yada, yada. There's this woman and you don't really know what she does and how she's really connected with the story other than like she's seen a dead person there's like a dead person that's like showing her things so the first episode really is just kind of like establishing the characters like figuring out who you're dealing with you know uh jody's got kind of like this new partner this older gentleman and his son they all work together and then they're like her old partner now is like highway patrol but like you can tell

that that relationship has been strained but you get a feeling that they're going to be working together going forward with this case because the old case of the woman losing her tongue is now like so closely resembling this new one and then there's this woman who's like seeing a dead person anyways at one point not to like ruin the it's just one episode but like she got this woman's following this dead person and the dead person is able to kind of show her where all the scientists are and they are all dead like have this look of like absolute terror frozen in the Alaskan snow. That's kind of how the episode ends. Anyways, the cast is great.

It seems like it's predicated around like the scientists dying, but also like, you know, I think that there's a lot of like women who are, there's a lot of domestic violence in Alaska and that's tied into it. And this old case might be tied to this new case. Anyways,

highly recommend true detective season four night country. All right. Because it's Alaska. It's just night all the time there, you know? Oh, that's cool. That's the name.

I feel like it's been long enough since we've watched true detective that maybe like, maybe enough time has gone by that this season will be good because like, I feel like when we had just watched season one that was so great and then they follow it up so quickly with more seasons that aren't as good,

it like, it's like harder to appreciate it because you're like, but season one was so good, but it's been so long now that I kind of feel like I've forgotten enough about season one and two that I could be like,

oh yeah, this is good. It all comes down to writing, right? And I have a feeling that jodie foster probably wouldn't attach herself to something that wasn't like really really well written true so anyways go check it out okay cool yeah i'll do that oh i tell you speaking of snow let's just stick with it it's snowing in nashville uh it's snowing up in enos alaska and it's also snowing in the Andes. I finally watched Society of the Snow. What's that? Did you ever see the movie Alive? Is that Ryan Reynolds?

No. So it's a movie that came out, I think, in the 90s. And it's a true story about this rugby team from Uruguay who's flying across the Andes. And they get into a plane crash. I didn't see this. Yeah, and then they crash and they're stranded in the mountains

and they start having to resort towards cannibalism to stay alive. Oh, good, good, good. And then eventually a couple of the guys are able to walk out of there and they save a bunch of people's lives. Anyways, a true story. It's a crazy story.

And now they've redone it and it's with like people from, I think you're like Uruguayan actors and stuff. So it's very, like if you've seen the original movie, like this isn't gonna, it's the same kind of thing. And the other thing is, is that it's dubbed over. So, I mean, it is what it is, but it is one of the most beautifully shot movies I've seen in a very, very long time. The cinematography on this is insane. And they do also such a good job because there was a guy who was on the plane who had a camera and he was taking pictures. And so there are pictures of these guys like kind of

throughout the entire three month being stuck on this, stuck in this like, you know, crash landing. And they're able to kind of recreate the pictures and they do such an amazing job but you're just like wow i can't believe that like how well you nailed that interesting the flight of a rugby team crashes on a glacier in the andes the few passengers who survived the crash find themselves in one of the world's toughest environments to survive. La Sociedad de la Nieve, or Society of the Snow. In the original one, they talk about eating the human meat a good bit. I cannot with that.

In this one, it's a little more in your face. Ew. You know, at first, they're like just kind of eating a little bit, and then kind of at the end where they're so hungry and like, they're all probably going to die. Like,

people are straight up just like, they've got a, he's got a hand in his hand. He's just eating like the knuckles. Yeah. But here's my thing. I was talking about it with Sarah. Okay,

so if this happened to you, okay, would you have a problem eating human meat? Yes. So you wouldn't be able to do it? I won't even eat pork in my real life. Okay.

I am so weird about that. There's no fucking way. I can't even eat meat off the bone. I can't eat a chicken wing. It curses me out. So you'd just die? I think so. I don't think I would have made it this far

to be that hungry that I would do that. So funny. I have no problem with this i would like i've of course i'm gonna eat the human meat i don't give a shit they're already dead who cares i want to live i'm shook you know there's guys there that are like hey you know this is against my religion like i can't do this what are you talking about oh it has nothing to do with religion i'm just like disgusted like i truly could not yeah but if you are dying i mean at that i would be like who's got a pistol like i gotta go oh wow i can't do this also if i'm if

i'm like going out i'm gonna be like hey y' y'all, have at it, man. I got thick legs. Go for that first. My ass is okay. All right? Absolutely not. Go for it, man. No, no, no, no, no, no. Eat up.

No. Dig in. You're absolutely nuts. No problem with it whatsoever. It's just meat. There's zero chance. Hey, listen, man. I'm not dying.

I'm not dying because I'm scared of human meat i am yeah i don't maybe it's a hot take i don't think i could do it my thing is like they're dead who cares you know i don't want that i think i would just eat all the fucking leaves there's no leaves they're in they're on a glacier in the andes it's just snow and ice they just stay in one spot they don't like hike out you gotta watch it since hike out? You've got to watch it. I can't watch it. There's no foliage. There's nothing. They eventually

hike out. They hike hundreds of miles, it looks like. Crazy distance to get down to the... I wouldn't make it. For sure, I wouldn't. I would freeze to death, honestly. Well, a lot of people do out there. Not me. That. For sure, I wouldn't. I would freeze to death, honestly. Well, a lot of people do out there. Yeah. Not me.

That would be the way I would go. Okay, well, guess what? You die, you freeze to death, and I'm having a big old chunk of your thigh. All right? That is disgusting. Well, I mean, actually, I would say there's not much to take,

but I don't know, something there. Yeah, all right. I hate this conversation. All right, we'll stop doing it then. I mean, hey, listen, we'll stop doing it then. I mean, hey, listen, it just happens. It happened. We've been watching a show called Fool Me Once.

Oh, I tried to watch it and I couldn't. Yeah, and it was getting a lot of really good reviews. Okay, well, let's get into it. You know, it's a murder mystery, effectively. Okay, well, let's get into it. You know, it's a murder mystery, effectively. Widowed mom Maya is disturbed by an image of her late husband captured on her toddler's nanny cam. Harlan Coben's Fool Me Once. The main character, this girl Maya, played by Michelle Keegan,

her husband dies, gets shot in the head, and is killed the same way her sister was killed okay and her friend gets her a nanny cam to make sure like you know i guess whatever and like the third day she has the nanny cam she's watching it back and her husband is playing with the daughter and she's like what the fuck is my husband is still alive what's going on here interesting so it's a little bit of a murder mystery. Is it overdubbed or something? No, it's just they're British. It's kind of all over the place.

There's so many different characters, and it's hard to kind of like concentrate on one thing. And I don't know, maybe it gets better, but we're like four or five episodes in, and I'm like, I'm kind of falling off. So I would suggest maybe not fool me once on netflix oh okay so that's the least favorite thing yeah i have a question for you yeah give it did you ever watch salt burn no i want to though but i didn't i think we should watch that this week

okay because there's like everyone fucking loves it i know and said that one kid from banshee's of inner sharing who's like in everything now. It's a great cast. People rave about it. Apparently there's like scenes that are like really graphic, I guess. People are like freaking out about. What's it on? Prime, I think.

Okay. Yeah. Dude at Oxford University finds himself drawn into the world of a charming and aristocratic classmate who invites him to his eccentric family's sprawling estate for a summer never to be forgotten. Salt burn. So poor man goes and hangs out with the rich family, realizes rich family's fucked up, probably has to do some killing to get out of there. It's a tale as old as time.

It truly is. Yeah. But a great one. Yeah, I love it. I do need to watch it. Fish out of water story. Did I tell you about this documentary I've been watching? No.

Did I tell you about it last week? Give it to me. I think you did. Did I? Yeah, I think so. But what is it? Edge of the Earth. Yeah, you did.

Okay. I loved it. Four groups of athletes embark on four never before accomplished missions. Edge of the earth. One seems like skiing. One seems like kayaking. One seems like hiking. One seems like surfing.

Rock climbing, not hiking. Okay. But yes, it's so cool. It's just four episodes. Each episode's pretty long though. And basically these athletes in their respective sports are all conquering something that's never been done before. Yeah. Which is pretty fucking cool.

So, like, episode one, the skier and snowboarder, I think there's three of them, actually. They not only do they, it's in Alaska, actually. They, like, have to take a boat for two days, then hike in for two days, camp at base camp, then figure out how to summit the mountain, which is I don't think ever been done. And then they summit the mountain and they fucking ski and snowboard down. It's pretty epic. The second episode is a team that kayaks a river in South America that's never been kayaked before. The third one is a girl that climbs you know a mountain in kazakhstan they say that um that's never been done and then the fourth one is actually i thought i would like the fourth episode the least because that's surfing like i don't know about that um but i

was actually pretty fascinating so these surfers i guess like did they go to portugal no they went to south africa okay so the cool thing is like i know a little bit because we have a friend named mason barnes who is a pro surfer he's fucking amazing you guys should check out his instagram the shit he does is literally insane so i know that there's these like big waves around the world but there's only a handful of them that are these like these like iconic big waves that all these surfers go and surf. And it's like the mecca of surfing is to catch these big waves. One is in Portugal, one's in Hawaii and there's like maybe two more.

So what these guys are doing is trying to find a new big wave, like to discover one and then be the first ones to surf it, which is very cool. And so they go to the Western coast of South Africa to do it. And every episode is so beautifully shot. And if you like seeing, you know, the different landscapes and anything like that has something to do with like travel, like it's beautiful and it's cool just to get to see these remote places. But each episode is great.

I loved it so much. And I am so curious, like, how did they film these? Like, is it just all on GoPros? Because the quality is amazing. And I guess drones maybe, but I'm pretty fascinated. Like, was there an actual camera guy like following them? Because if so, fucking props, because that would have been brutal to like do all those hikes

and all that with all that gear. Like, I wish there was a behind the scenes of making it. Yeah. But it's really good. If you like anything in that vein of like extreme sports or documentaries, like highly recommend.

It's very cool okay i've got one more which is actually pretty fun called the brother's son have you heard about this no it's on netflix follows charles son a taipei gangster who settled into his life as a ruthless killer but must go to los angeles to protect his mother and younger brother after his father was shot by a mysterious assassin. The Brother's Son on Netflix. The cast is great. Michelle Yeoh, who's in, like, I feel like all of these kind of, like,

cool Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, you know? Well, she was also in, which she won an Oscar last year for... Everything Everywhere All at Once? Yes. Was she in that? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was also in At Once? Yes. Was she in that? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She was also in Tomorrow Would Never Die. She was in Crazy Rich Asians. I mean, she's killing it over here. And the main guy is, you know, kind of like an assassin badass. And like the opening scene is these three guys that come into his house and like try to kill him

and he just absolutely beats the ever-living shit and kills everybody in the house. And then his dad comes over and is like this doesn't make any sense why would they they know that you're like this badass assassin why would they send just three guys into your house they're trying to figure it out then all of a sudden a sniper just takes down the dad and like that was the whole thing like those three guys were just patsies they were just put up die oh no i gotta go make sure my my mom and my little brother are safe in los angeles and then so he goes over los angeles now the family in los angeles is not like a gangster like gangster family they're just like

normal people and the brother doesn't even know like what the other brother does and is like hadn't didn't know his family was in in the mob all this stuff. So it's funny because the younger brother's not a badass assassin, but people are trying to kill him. Anyways, if you like fighting, if you like mobster movies, this is great, The Brother's Son. Highly recommend. Cool. Sounds pretty good. Yeah, it's fun.

Nice. The main actor, this kind of kid who didn't know anything about his family, is very new, and it might be the weak part of this story everyone else is very very good but he's really green so you gotta kind of get through that but yeah i see i liked it are we gonna watch the bachelor i think so yeah i mean it comes out kind of soon right like next week i guess i don't know i think so i'm actually excited about it because i have nothing else to watch. True that.

Yeah. Is it coming out on Mondays? Yeah, Monday the 22nd. Okay. I'm going to be at Disney World then. Oh, at Disney World. What Disney World? No, I said, Oh, at Disney World.

Are you saying what Disney World? No, at Disney World. Yeah, at Disney World. Oh boy, we're going to be at Disney World. There are things about the English language that really annoy me okay who the fuck thought it was a good idea to have the words cosmology and cosmetology to sound so similar and have the complete different meanings you know well if they were if they were similar meanings and the words were similar, that would be more confusing, I think.

I guess. But have you ever been in a conversation with someone who's talking and they're like, what do you do? And they're like, oh, I'm in cosmetology. And you're like, oh, my God, I love planets and astrophysics. And they're like, what are you talking about? I do hair. And then you're like, I'm stupid. No, because I know what cosmetology is.

You do. Did you know what cosmology was? No, but I could deduce what it was from the word cosmo. Yeah. But also, why is, so that makes sense. But why is the beautification of hair and makeup and face cosmetology? Cosmetics. Cosmetics.

Man, we got there. We figured it out. It took a second. That's frustrating though, isn't it? No. It is. It's not. Well, I'll tell you when it is.

When you have a conversation with somebody and you think you're being smart and they find out that you don't know the difference between those two things. And then you feel stupid. That's great. It's like esthetician and anesthetist. Okay, first of all, hey, both those words fucking suck to say. So hard to say. Anesthetist?

Hey, maybe take my tongue, rip it out of my fucking mouth when I try to say a word anesthetist. Anesthetist. Try to say it. Try to say nurse anesthetist. It's hard. And I have a friend that used to do that and I could never say it right.

Yeah. But an esthetician is someone that what does nails? Usually it's more like facials or peels or like stuff like that with your skin. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. upheals or like stuff like that with your skin yeah yeah yeah yeah and then anesthetist is someone who helps out someone who is a putting you to sleep yeah yeah what's that called anesthesiologist like why didn't we just have that word be sleep sleepy guy you know because those guys have big fucking egos yeah a big fucking fancy word to be

called anesthesiologist i need 17 fucking syllables in this thing yeah and you know so many years of school and made so much money and i get a big fancy title and i get so much money for fucking doing well it's kind of an important thing it is is. It's not keeping them alive, it's keeping them asleep. No, I know, but also making sure they don't die. Yeah, you can't put too much of the little juice in the thing. It's a big deal. Yeah. And then they're like, I like that we have 17 syllables in this one,

but I want my assistant to have a fucking... No one can say the name. Anesthetist. Anesthetist. Anesthetist. I always do those things, you know, when I'm like, if I'm about to go speak and I need to like do some tongue twisters. Irish wristwatch. I do Irish wristwatch.

That's a good one. Can you say Irish wristwatch? Irish wristwatch? Yeah. Is that what you're saying? Yeah. Irish wristwatch. Irish wristwatch? Is that what you're saying? Yeah, Irish wristwatch. Irish wristwatch.

Okay. Do it again. Faster. No, I'm good with the one. Yeah, come on! I honestly think if I did things like that before public speaking, that would make me mess up more. No, get your tongue going. I don't know. I know someone else could get my tongue going. Yes, before I perform cunnilingus, I do some exercises.

Nurse anesthetist, anesthetist, anesthetist. How now, brown cow, Irish wristwatch. How now, brown cow? What? It is just really coming down out there, the snow. Is it? Yeah. Fun.

Kind of crazy. I wish I had a sled. Why don't you have a sled? Well, because I prepped for all the fucking other shit, but not myself, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't get a sled. As you grow up, maybe you'd love to pull one. I do believe we have some voicemizales.

I was thinking that. You want some of that? Action? Yeah. Okay, let's do some voicemails. This one's entitled a man interesting okay well then brandy uh my name's pat wanted to call in i was just listening to one of the episodes from a couple weeks back where you said the boyfriends are listening to this podcast and have been converted to consistent listeners.

Yeah. And that hit me five inches above my buckle. Oh, I love you guys. Love your show. Wanted to tell you. Oh, my God. I love Pat. That's hilarious.

Not what I was expecting at all. I know. Wow, what a surprise. What a great, great callback to men's taints are much longer than women's taints. Fucking hilarious. That's great. I love that. Fucking A, Pat.

You're the man, dude. Pat, love it. All right, this one's called BIP Burrito. Let me see what I think this is going to be about. All right. I got a feeling it's going to be about my BIP intro where I eat a burrito. Okay, you do. I pay attention.

All right, all right, all right. Hi, Wells and Granny. This is Emma from Chicago. I had a question that kind of stems from one of my favorite things, which is reality TV shows. But my husband and I are watching, are wondering how many times it took you, Wells, to film the intro to Bachelor in Paradise. My husband is amazed that every time we watch it, you catch the burrito without looking. And he always makes the remark, like, I wonder how many times Wells has you that before he actually caught it. Thanks for everything.

Love the podcast. Listen every week and hope you have a good Thanksgiving. Good question. How many times do you think it took me? 12. That's a lot. Yeah, I don't, I don't, if I'm being honest, I don't really remember. There's a couple reasons why it takes a while. One, you're trying to, because the camera kind of zooms in on it, right? Like, so there's like a racking aspect of like the director and the camera guy need to get that right. The whole bit that i i'm looking at the camera the entire time so i can kind of see it out of the the my corner of your eye yeah periphery peripheral peripheral anesthetist fucking words dude yeah i would say i would say what did you say 12 yeah i said six i think i think six would be about

right the one that was the hardest was years ago when harrison uh did like a like a bunker shot with a golf club and then we had to get the ball in the drink that took a long time because then there was someone who needed to try to throw it in and then then you had to get it. And then I had to, I'd do like the eh bit. My only complaint about the burrito bit was I wasn't there for Jesse's taping. And the way it was told to me was, hey, listen, he is, and it was a whole bit that was never used in the show,

but he was just eating all the food at the resort. So we filmed a lot of him like just, I think going around like eating other people's food and stuff. Got resort. So we filmed a lot of him, like just, I think going around, like eating other people's food and stuff. Got it. So the joke was supposed to be that he eats this burrito and he throws it to me, but I didn't know that they were just telling me like,

he's just kind of like taking all the food and he's going to throw this like a football. So he takes a bite and then he throws me a burrito that doesn't have a bite taken out of it. I know. And I'm like, there's no, no continuity.

And it's so funny. Cause on that show, they're very, very anal about continuity. Whenever you know. And I'm like, there's no continuity. And it's so funny because on that show, they're very, very anal about continuity. Whenever you do interviews, they're like, you were wearing this shirt. You need to go change it. And it's like, well, this is a blatant continuity issue. But maybe that's what's funny about it is it's so bad.

Yeah. Anyways, good question. Great question. This one's called Mormon Sci-Fi. I love everything. We're about to embark question. Great question. This one's called Mormon Sci-Fi. I love everything. We're about to embark on. Great title. All right, this message is for Wells. I just had to let you know that the author of Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, Rebecca Yoros, is an ex-Mormon.

Get her on the podcast. What? This is the perfect opportunity for you. She's right. Also, I am currently reading the best sci-fi series I've ever read in my life. Tell us. I feel like it compares to Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. If she says Red Rising, I'm going to lose my mind.

I feel like I get suggested Red Rising all the time on this show. And I read it, and I the time on this show, and I read it, and I promoted it on this show years ago. It's Red Rising. I'm going to lose it. Let's see. Wells, you need to read Red Rising by Pierce Brown. I'm very curious about it.

I'm going to keep calling you until you read it. You will love it. Red Rising by Pierce Brown. I read the fucking book. Oh, shit. I've read Red Rising. And here's the thing. I get suggested it a lot.

I didn't love it. Everyone loves it. Interesting. I thought it was great. The story is that this kind of, he works on a different planet, a mining planet, and his kind of caste system is low and

he's able to like kind of like figure out a way to hack into like the elites and become like what you know higher than his caste system and yeah it's it is great like i i suggested it to derrick and he loved it really yeah how is derrick i don't. We need to call him up and see how he's doing. Yeah. Does he still live in Iowa? Yeah. That is nuts. Today they're doing the Iowa Cockass. What the fuck is that? The Iowa Cockass. CNN reporting

live from the Iowa Cockass. Cockass. Excuse me. Alright, this one's called Traders. Okay. Hey, Wells and Brandy. Yo. Calling for two things. First, one of my favorite things is I work in HR, and sometimes I sit in meetings where things get a little weird. Yeah. As you, I'm sure, could think.

Now that I've been listening to your podcast forever, and you guys have all these little crazy things that you add into it, I can't unhear every time someone says something stupid in a meeting. Yeah. All I want to say is, what the fuck is happening here? So thank you for adding that to my life. By the way, I timed that perfectly.

You did. That was fucking amazing. You did. Whoa. Like, I think people are going to hear that and think that I put it in post. No, I didn't. No, that was organic, baby.

Whoa, bro. All right, sorry. My God, is it hard to not laugh when someone is talking about really serious shit. Number two. Okay. I haven't heard you guys talk about this TV show and I'm kind of surprised. Okay.

But season two is now coming out and you don't have to watch season one in order to watch season two. Traitors on Peacock. Highly, highly, highly recommend. So excited for season two to start. Well, your boy Johnny Bananas is going to be on it. So please start watching it and recapping it on the show. Love you both so much

yeah bye we'll give you another one of these what the fuck is yeah i know a lot of people have suggested traitors and i haven't gotten into it i know that um pilot pete's on the most recent season i think what is it what's the show traitors do you know what it is no did you ever play the game mafia or yeah okay so it's a big game that a lot of actors play it in Los Angeles. I don't know if that's like if Miley got you into it, but effectively mafia is like, there's someone who's a mafia agent and everyone else is trying to figure out who the mafia person is. And it's so fun. It's a lot of actually learned, you're going to love this, I actually learned that game at church camp in middle school. Really?

Yeah, we played it in eighth grade at church camp. So that's what it is. Like someone's a traitor and everyone's trying to figure out who the traitor is and it's mafia. Interesting. How is that a show? I don't fucking know. How is anything a show?

Good question. Is it cake? Everything could be cake. Could be. And it keeps going too, by the way. But someone was like, hey, so here's my idea. You know how you can make cake look like anything? What if

we were like, what do you think? Is it cake or not? Oh my god. Give them a million dollars. It's a goddamn genius idea. It's not. If you want to call in and leave a voicemail, the number is 858-630-1856. That's 858-630-1856.
