Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Hard in the Halloween Paint

Episode Date: November 3, 2021

Your hosts are coming to you live post-Halloween party... and Wells is hungover! Your hosts like to take turns, you know, so it’s fair. Wells got wastey-face at his event and Brand-eye was the only single person at hers, and that about sums up their nights. Wells is going to attempt no-drink-November with a few caveats, so we discuss that. Then after a weekend recap, your hosts kick off the show with Bachelorette chats, which is a little boring this season despite Michelle’s fire fits, and then take a deep dive into Succession. Wells also fills us in on the time he thought he gave the Jonas Brothers + all of their families COVID, because that was a scary few minutes. They also talk cults, a major problem with Postmates, and bougie Christmas plans; you’re not gonna wanna miss this one, YFTers!  Don’t forget to rate, review, and follow Your Favorite Podcast!

Oh, really?

Well, not. Or were you hungover from Halloween? Yeah, that's more like. But it sounds more professional when you say, hey, listen, boss, taking a mental health day. Got to work on me. Instead of, hey, boss, I might be a functioning alcoholic. You know? Yeah. Yeah, I do.

Are you in Utah? No, I'm back home. You're you're back yeah it was a quickie i saw the um the tune squad costumes looking good looking fit thank you thank you we had we were rolling deep yeah tune squad it was like 15 people total it was insane basically like everybody was coupled up except me yeah i would count olivia as coupled because she was toting around a machine gun kelly cardboard cutout boyfriend all night long i mean so really i was the only single person there which is cool cool cool i take it that she was megan fox she was megan fox yes with the mgk cutout he came to the club with us, all the things. My friend Kirsten went and AJ, of course, he's my emcee and their significant others.

I had a crew. That's nice. It was really fun. You should have hopped on over to Studio City for the Heil Adams bash. Well, I saw that you ended up doing your party on Sunday, right? Yesterday? Yeah. Here's the thing, because we told everyone Sunday and then we were like, fuck, that's

rude of us to make everyone get wasted on Sunday and then have to live their life on Monday and go to work. But by the time that we told everyone, we were like, should we move to Saturday? Everyone was like, well, we already made plans for Saturday. So it didn't matter. And by the way, like all of our friends are like entertainers or actors. They don't have anything to do today, you know? Or Instagram influencers. Exactly.

Podcasters. People without real jobs. Yeah, totally. You're right. But yeah, I got Wastey Face. I mean, what did you think of the costume? Of our costume? I loved it.

I mean, your guys' commitment level to costumes is just unparalleled. See, listen. Because not only do you dress up, you get in character. It's kind of freaky. Yeah. Well, you know. I love it so much, you know.

Actor. I think Sarah was much better than me. My only gripe was we couldn't find a really realistic beard. Oh. You know, it was just like, you know, from like Amazon whatever beard and it just didn't look really realistic if i had the better beard i think nay i know this might have been one of the best costumes we've ever done

i agree i loved it i thought it was great really good man but i just have no like you should see me i had to walk around all night because i had that beard on i couldn't drink so i had to drink out of a straw i mean and listen gandalf don't drink out of straws, bro. You know, that's funny. Yeah, but it was fun. We had a good time. We had some good peeps come over. The smoke machine turned the smoke alarm on. Oh, God, that happened to me last year. Then that turned the alarm on. And then, of course, the alarm company called and I had to tell them my secret password, which, of course, I don't know when I'm wasted. This happened to me before, too. I know. Oh, my God. Did they send the fire I'm wasted. This has happened to me before too, I know. Oh my God. Did they send the fire trucks?

Because they've done that to me. No, I was like, bro, it's Halloween. We got a fog machine. And he was like, sounds like a rager. And I was like, it is. It is. But don't come, please don't come. Yeah.

Good times. I love Halloween. It's my favorite one. It's my favorite holiday. I just love it so much. Aside from you guys, because obviously your costume was the best. But aside from you guys, who else had the best costume? Well, so my brother, his wife is pregnant right now. And they did Handmaid's Tale where they both were pregnant women. And that was very good. And a lot of people, my brother always comes over early because he likes to hand out candy for the trick or treat-treaters and a lot of moms were like that's terrifying you know like that's amazing and then my buddy matt shively who has been on the podcast before and his girlfriend ashley they're both actors she was the joker and he was two-faced and then they have a dog named charlie the bat pig so the dog was

batman theirs was really good did you see my instagram story i posted like yeah yeah yeah theirs is great anyways everyone everyone was it's good you know if you just try that's all that i care about you know yeah totally but yeah so now we're back and oh i have an announcement i'm gonna see if you you're gonna have to keep me honest here okay okay we're. We're going to try no drink November. Oh. With two caveats. Two caveats.

Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving. Yeah. And Sarah's birthday. When's her birthday? Well, her birthday is the day before Thanksgiving. So that's. I got you there, didn't I?

I got you. Yeah. And Ben's wedding. Oh, God, I have drinks there. Come on. I gotta hang out around a bunch of bachelor people. I gotta get drunk. Come on.

So why are we doing no drinks November then at all? Well, you know, I'm not ecstatic about what my body looks like with my clothes off right now. You know? We all don't have metabolism like you, Brandy, who now in your 30s, you're getting like even hotter and thinner and fitter. It's the Tish Cyrus genes, I'm telling you. She got thinner too as she aged and I'm here for it because it's happening to me. Well, it's not happening to your boy over here. So I'm thinking that maybe cutting back some of the alcohol might be a good thing.

Well, we can give it a try. It's all we can do, really. Yeah. So, yeah. So there'll be three caveats, but I'm going to do no drinks November. Okay. All right. You want to start the show?

Oh, yeah. We should do that. We should do it. Is it you or me? I have no idea. I'll do it. Okay. Bros and hoes you're

listening to your favorite thing podcast with wells and brandy let's go batch first or batch last maybe batch first because it's fresh i just watched it all right well we already heard your thoughts on the pilot the episode one right like um way they did the handled the notes you weren't thrilled you gotta long con that out i need four fifth episode with that guy you know yeah yeah so all right so let's hear what are the complaints this time okay jamie yeah douchebag total douchebag and here's the thing like i want michelle to look strong and powerful and making the right decisions. I do want that. So don't, don't take this out of context. Okay. But I want more people calling out Jamie for being an asshole. Like I want the guys to do it more. You know, I want that. I need, I only got one scene when they finally figured out it was

Jamie, you know, and they're like all like, they're like, what are you talking about? Like we, the house wasn't like that. And he was like he was like well you know i just wanted to expose a monster but i was in my room all day so were you in your room all day or were you hanging out in the house and what have i need more answers i need people to fucking get in there you know but they got rid of him right at the back he had to go i get it but like maybe one more episode can i get one one more episode? I don't know. He needed to go. I know. And the other thing, Peter and Will.

Oh, yeah. The jacket heard around the world. Yeah, what happened to that? You gotta let us have another episode with them fighting, guys. What are you doing? First of all, how does no one tell Michelle that he fucking threw the jacket in the pool? What? I don't even get to see Michelle be like, you're a fucking asshole for throwing that nice jacket in the pool.

You know? I feel like these guys, this group of guys, for the most part, they're all trying really hard to, like, be stand-up dudes. You know what I mean? They're, like, trying to be no drama. And it's like they've seen enough um seasons or guys have done like made bad choices right and been so dramatic and called other people out and everything and picked fights and they're like we're not gonna do that this time i get it but but the show's also facilitating that like they're they got rid of peter at the end of the episode so you don't get more drama they got rid of Jamie at the end of the episode so there's not more drama you know like well Michelle got rid of

Jamie for sure but listen I know that this is annoying for everyone to hear like my now weird perception of it but like you could have given him a group date rose to get him through obviously the the producers don't know what's going to happen but you had to see it was devolving pretty quickly and we got to save him because i need to fight i mean like a real fight but i want an argument right i mean am i wrong about that or no i mean you're not wrong about it not being super dramatic so far but here's the thing i think that's what i'm upset about they have all the makings for great dramatics you know they have all the things they're just not we're not doing it that's my thought what was your thought it's a little boring but i didn't hate the episode yeah there's a couple of guy of the guys that like i do really like

it's just so funny to me i don't know how they do it but it's like night one i don't think anyone's hot and i'm like everyone's pretty average and then as it gets going all of a sudden guys get to me. I don't know how they do it, but it's like night one. I don't think anyone's hot. And I'm like, eh, everyone's pretty average. And then as it gets going, all of a sudden guys get hotter. Explain that to me. Well, I think it's because you start to learn people's personalities, you know? I guess so. I don't know, but there's a couple that I actually really like. And, uh, I really like, I do like Joe. He's so quiet. And it's like, that's either a really good thing or a really bad thing. You know what I mean? Like, that could go either way.

But I do like Joe. I like Nate a lot. I think he's very cute. I can't remember his name, which is not a good sign. But the guy she went on the one-on-one with, it's like, oh, I've never been the tallest or the most good looking. Oh, Rodney? But I'm such a nice guy. Rodney, love him.

Rodney for Bachelor. Love him so much but like it's an it's one of those things where it's like we love rodney he says literally everything right but why is there a friend zone vibe why does the good guy always have to come with a friend zone vibe we've talked about this before i know it a serious, serious problem we have in this world with this male species gender. Like, why are the good ones friendzone vibes? I don't know. But they are.

Because women like a project. Oh, I know. And you know what? You don't need that noise. I don't want to like a project, but I do. I know. I mean, look at Sarah. It's true.

Perfect example. I know. Dude, Rodney is awesome. Awesome. Love him. Big fan of him. Oh, is it bleached hair, dude, that kisses very disgustingly? Yeah. Jamie kisses weird, too. Oh, is it Bleached Hair Dude that kisses very disgustingly? Yeah.

Jamie kisses weird, too. Oh, Jamie was really bad. Like, right off the bat, guys, if you're going on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, you need to have someone, like, video you kissing just so you know. That's, yeah. You know? Yeah. Did you do that before you went on?

Well, I didn't kiss her, remember? I was like, fuck, I'm not going to look bad here. True. I was always told that I was a pretty good kisser, so I just assumed. But now looking back, I'm like, thank God I held out

because everyone's got weird things. Matt didn't close his eyes. Jamie's like sucking on lips and doing weird stuff with his nose. Like, it's just getting... It's weird. Yeah. It's tough.

so they asked me to be on The Bachelorette. And I was like, bro, you're in the new Top Gun movie. You shouldn't go on that show. And he was like, no, no, no, no, no. I was like, you know, I'm like hosting a date. And I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, you should do that. And he's like, what do I do to not, just so I don't look stupid? I was like, bro, don't worry. There's going to be a bunch of guys there that are going to look much more stupid than you are. You'll be just fine. Totally. Going to that date, I was like, fuck, this is awesome.

First of all, Glenn's awesome. They get to go fly in airplanes? Like, what? I almost died on a fireman date. They get to go fly airplanes? Then they get there. No flying of airplanes whatsoever. The only airplane we see

is her get out of one and then they put them in that gyroscope thing and try to make them barf. No one does. That's great. They make them do fucking American gladiator shit.

Has nothing to do with flying. So far, nothing has had to do with flying. I'm like, oh, now, like whoever wins gets to go on the plane. No, they get into a car. They get into a fucking Porsche. Not a well thought out plane. No, they get into a car. They get into a plane.

They get into a fucking Porsche. Not a well thought out date. No. Was there another date or was that it? The spoken word date. Oh, yeah. Which, by the way, that one guy is the only guy of all guys who knows who that poet is. He was just like, oh, my God.

Oh, my gosh. You guys made me fall in love with spoken word poetry. Yeah, I know. Dude, did you come on the show purely just to meet the poet guy? You were so pumped. We started doing snaps for him after he finished. I was like, oh, my God, this guy. And then his poem was so good.

So good. I was like, someone should have been like, you're not here for the right reasons. You're trying to grow your blossoming spoken word poetry, Maya Angelou. I'm not buying this for one second. Oh, man, that was funny. And then Jamie's weird parable that he tells up there. The worst. I do think she's got some decent guys to choose from.

And it seems like she likes a handful of them. Yeah. You know? Can I just say, Michelle's wardrobe so far, oh my gosh, she looks incredible. Straight up, Sarah made me make this note for the show to bring up her rose ceremony dress and how fire it was. It was unbelievable. Like, best dress I've ever seen on the show, I think.

Gary Fetman is killing it. It's good. And whatever dress she had on last week, I loved, too. So I was just like, man, we gotta have a moment for Michelle's wardrobe, because it's everything. Also, her speech, you know, she just freaking slayed the speech. It's a little bit

like she's always teaching class to me. Well, she's a teacher. I know. But she's, teaching class to me. Well, she's a teacher. I know. But she's like always kind of like, okay, okay. So now boys, boys, boys, today we're going to talk about fractions. Do you know about fractions? I get that. I do think it's endearing though.

And I think she does a really good job of just like totally being herself. It's funny because like watching her on Matt's season, like I'm not sure I would have said that she would have like would be a great leader, you know, because when you're the lead of the show, that's what you're doing. You have to be the leader. For sure. But she's really killing it. I'm really impressed.

I think she's just really doing a great job. Yeah. She's too normal. I'm sorry. That's why I like her. I know. Chris and I used to talk about this all the time where, you know, I'd always make the joke, you know, you never let me be the bachelor.

And he was like, you're too fucking normal. Yeah. You can't have a normal person be the bachelor. You got to be a kind of a weirdo. And I think that's what's happening here is she's like kicking people out when they're supposed to be kicked out. Like she's seeing red flags. She's too normal.

Yeah. I do like her. I like her the most. Then I like Rodney. And then I liked that Peter made Will cry because he threw his jacket in the pool. Oh, my God. Poor Will. I like Will.

Oh, bro, dude. You know, he came back. All his bros were like, bro, bro, bro. Bro, did you cry for a jacket that you got that day? Bomber. And he's like, yeah, I wanted the screen time. I know. Come on.

Tears equals screen time. Duh. I know, but cry for a jacket. You know? Toss that in the dryer. It'll be good in a couple minutes. You'll be fine. You think she's going to get engaged with anybody?

I don't know. I'm starting to lose hope for this show. Also, Clayton, can we get this guy a new suit? It's just the worst suits. You're going to be the year of the bachelor? I don't know what's happening here. Got to get him a suit. Yeah.

Honestly, I've barely paid any attention to him. He's just not even on the radar. Yeah, he must come in heavy in the back end of the season because. I guess so. Or maybe he's not the bachelor. Like that hasn't been officially announced. That was just like leaked by reality Steve or whatever. So who knows?

Yeah, that's true. Maybe it's Greg. Yeah. I think everyone's forgotten about Greg. Maybe it's Blake Moines. Definitely. It's not. It's definitely not him.

You're coming in for season 57. Is that enough batch? I think so. All right. Let's get into it. You got some fave things, bro. Bro, I don't know. Did I talk about it last week?

I been watching In the Dark. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You talked about it last week. You're loving it. I'm almost done with it. Yeah, I'm like, I like the season for sure. Don't get me wrong. But it's kind of dragging on.

Like, this fucking girl Jess has been missing for, like, episodes on end now. Like, and I'm just like, all right, I'm done searching for Jess. Like, are we finding her? Is she dead? What's going on here? Let's move the plot along. I'm a little frustrated about the missing Jess storyline. I'm not done with it yet.

But I'm, like, ready for it to be over because I'm bored with Jess. Yeah. I'm cruising right along through Succession, but I have not yet made it to an episode that makes me feel like it's one of the greatest TV shows ever. All right. To each his own.

Do you like it? I mean, it's fine. I like watching it on the plane when I have literally nothing else to do. That's the only reason I'm watching it. You do realize it's fine i like watching on the plane when i have literally nothing else to do the only reason i'm watching it but you do realize it's one like every award i know so i'm not wrong in saying that succession is good like i feel attacked here a little bit and i know i'm not because of emmy awards i mean i just need it to pick up Like we get it Like the dad Is never going to die

And hates his kids And they're never going to win How long can this go on? I don't know Well three seasons at least I'm all caught up on season three So good Is the dad still alive? Yeah

He's a bull dude He's not going anywhere on season three. So good. So good. Is the dad still alive? Yeah. What? Oh yeah. He's not going, dude, he's a bull, dude. He's not going anywhere. Yeah.

He's never going to die. And he's also such a good actor. Well, yeah. For everyone that's not caught up with succession and maybe I shouldn't do this because of, of you. Well, I can mute while you give your two cents.

Yeah. I can take my headphones out. Yeah. Okay. So let me real quick just like go through what I think's going, what I want to happen in succession this season, but I don't know what's going to happen. So if you're not caught up with succession, maybe fast forward a minute. Okay?

Okay. Okay. Wave when you're done. Okay. Well, okay. Guys, first of all, cousin Greg for president of the fucking world. Okay. We were, sarah and i

were talking about like who is going to win this thing do you think that kendall's going to end up getting the company here's the thing at the end of season two when logan tells kendall you're just not a killer and then kendall goes and he exposes the company for all their wrongdoings you're like oh my god kend Kendall is a killer. But this last episode where he bitches out, but in that interview goes in highs and he leaves, I was sitting there with Sarah and I was like, Logan was right. Kendall is not a killer. So who is going to be the heir to the company? And I'm telling you this, don't think it's going to be Roman. I think he's just too wishy-washy. I don't think it's going to be Roman. I think he's just too wishy-washy.

I don't think it's going to be Kendall because he's not a killer. I don't think it's Siobhan because he doesn't have enough business acumen. I think it's either going to be three options. Connor, because how great would that be? Just shows you like you could just be a dipshit and you could run a company. Seeing all the time, okay? Love to see Greg do it, but I don't think he will. I think what's going to happen is that Tom's going to get it.

Because Tom is going to let himself be a sacrificial lamb. And then Kendall's going to be like, no, dude, you can't do that. I wouldn't do it. You shouldn't do it either. And then Tom's going to go over with Kendall. And then he's going to take over Kendall because Kendall's not a killer. And Tom will be the head. Won't even be a Roy in leading it and that's what I think is gonna happen and I just love that show so much tell me what you guys think is gonna happen Tom or Connor is gonna

be the guy that takes over that's what I think or Logan will never die that was more like three minutes yeah you know who I hate on that show? Who? Tom. Fuck Tom. Like, can he go away? I hate him. It's so funny if you listen to what I just said. Like, I talk about it. I literally hate him so much. Why do you hate Tom? He's the best.

He's just so mean to the kid. And I'm just like, he thinks he's funny and he's not. He just seems like the kind of guy that I would absolutely despise if I knew somebody like that. Do you like Greg? Cousin Greg? Yeah, he's fine or whatever. I'm obsessed with Shiv, obviously. Yeah. Fucking badass.

Yeah, Shiv's great. I love Tom. I love Cousin Greg. I love the older brother, Connor. I love Roman, Kiernan Culkin. Oh, he's my fave. He's so good. He's so good.

Anyways, stick with it, man. The show is good. The show is just good. And I cannot wait for, I can't wait to see who gets the company. Dad's never going to leave. He's never going to die. Keep watching. You don't have to die to lose the company.

Well, that's true. I finished you. Oh, I never did. You know what? It really lost me. Oh, what? Yeah, I don't know. Oh, man. Did you love the whole season yeah we finished it like two days anyways yeah you was great i mean i love

how they were able to continue to do it you know i mean yeah and i guess there's gonna be another season yeah well you would know that if you've watched the rest of it because you would know how it ends. I'll watch it. I'll watch it. Oh, man. Anyways, you is great. Well, here's the thing about you. Penn Badgley spends more time in the VO booth doing his voiceovers than he does actually acting in that show.

I mean, I can't imagine how much VO that guy's got to do. It's insane. But you is pretty great. Did you ever watch the HBO documentary about the Way Down Workshop cult? No. It's called The Way Down is the documentary. You haven't seen this? No.

Okay. It's about a freaking quote unquote church in Nashville. Oh, yeah. Do you know what I'm talking about? Now it's, yeah, the girl with big hair. Yeah, the girl with the hair. And they have this huge church in Brentwood, but it's obviously a cult. And they did this documentary about it.

So Gwen Shamblin is like the cult leader or whatever, but she died in a plane crash. And basically this documentary like has all these people come forward and just reveals that they, there was like a lot of like child abuse and like kids were dying and stuff like crazy shit. I haven't watched it yet. It's downloaded for me to watch tomorrow on my flight, but it's so crazy to me because I worked at Jay Alexander's restaurant here for three years in high school. And the shamblins came in to eat at Jay's every

single, like whatever it was like Tuesday night for dinner. It was like eight of them. And it's the whole family and they'd all come and they'd sit at the same table and they would all order the iceberg lettuce salad. And it was just an iceberg. And they'd all come and they'd sit at the same table and they would all order the iceberg lettuce salad. And it was just an iceberg wedge with no dressing or anything because their whole thing is circled around weight loss and like being skinny. Their whole church is about that. And we would just make fun of them and everybody dreaded when they came in. Nobody wanted their table. So now it's like the shamblin table.

And Noah and I went to Jay's last week for dinner. And we didn't even have to ask. They just happened to seat us at the Shamblin table. And Noah and I went to Jay's last week for dinner. And we didn't even have to ask. They just happened to seat us at the Shamblin table. I loved it. What number table was the Shamblin table? 41. Yeah, there it is. 41.

So if you're into it, or in Nashville, go to Jalexander's and ask to be sat at table 41 if you want some haunted juju vibes from gwen shamblin isn't that funny that like you will always remember if you've worked in the service industry you will remember what every table number was oh yeah for the rest of your life for the rest of your life yeah that's so funny yeah like at brick tops where i work table 42 was the worst table you could possibly get that was always whoever the worst server was, table 42 was the worst table you could possibly get. That was always whoever the worst server was got table 42. It's insane. But anyway,

you love a cult documentary, so you should check that out. I love a cult. Love a cult doc. And, you know, I don't even know how to say this. Those big churches, you know,

those big televangelists, I'm not buying it. You know, it's not for me. I'm not buying it. It's not for me. Classic. You know, it doesn't seem like that's the way, if you ask me, you know, but to each his own. Do what you want to do, but it doesn't, to me, doesn't seem like that's the way. Do what you want to do, but don't uh killing children maybe because your church tells you to it's probably not a good look maybe don't kill children you know maybe don't do that one

maybe don't lock them in a trunk and they suffocate to death what you know is that what happened i think that's what happened actually i was told that um some some parent like put their kid in a trunk as punishment and like when they closed the trunk, it hit their head so hard that it killed them. It was like a head injury that killed the kid or whatever. And then the parent was like, yeah, Gwen told me to lock him in a trunk if he was misbehaving. I don't know. Wow. That was their belief.

So I was like, all right. So I got to watch that. Yeah. Well, you see all these stories of these people who have these mega you know these mega churches who like fly around on private jets and stuff and you're just like that's because they pay no taxes yeah i know it's crazy not maybe don't i mean listen do what you want to do but i don't know you know maybe don't cook it don't you know so a couple days ago we were invited to attend the roast of the Jonas Brothers. Huh.

And so, great. Big Kevin guy over here. Everyone knows. Hashtag justice for Kevin. He's my boy. Texted me up and said, hey, man, we need some butts in seats for this thing. We'd love to have you and Sarah come.

And we're like, yeah, sure, great. So we had to sign some sort of, you know, like release or whatever to like be on TV. We're thinking like we're just going to be like in the crowd, you know? Yeah, no, we are on TV. We're thinking like we're just going to be like in the crowd, you know? Yeah, no, we are on stage behind their wives. So both Sarah and I have so annoying laughs, really, really annoying. So it's just good. You're just probably going to hear a lot of us just cackling behind the wives,

but also kind of weird because, you know, they're all making fun of everyone. And, you know, like they go in horror on Kevin because like, you know, he didn't have a solo career or whatever. And I'm right behind Danielle and I'm like dying laughing at these jokes. But I'm like, I feel kind of bad. You know, this is rude. Anyways, that's not my story. The story was we had to get COVID tested, right? Which makes total sense. So we get to set where they do Dancing with the Stars and we get on there. We show them that we've been vaccinated and they're like, great, you need to get this test real quick. It takes 15 minutes to take it. And then, you know, you sit on the sidewalk and wait for a minute and then you can go. We take the tests. They're like, you know what? Let's get

you upstairs so you can hang out with all the guys. I'm sure you're fine. So we go upstairs. We're hanging out with freaking the Jonas Brothers and like, you know, Priyankra and Sophie and Danielle and like, you know, it was like crazy and so cool. And we get up there and they're like, take your mask off. You're fine. Like you got tested, you're fine. Like, you know, whatever, let's have a drink because we're all hanging out. And at some point, some gentleman comes into the green room and he goes, excuse me, are

you Adam Wells? And I go, ah, okay. And he goes, hey, I need you to talk to you outside. And I was like, okay. So I walk outside and the woman who had done the test was like, so I don't want to freak you out. You need to put that mask back on. Your test came back inconclusive. And I was like, okay. I felt like a little bit like I was being attacked. She was like, when was the last time you got a COVID test? And I was like, well, I felt like a little bit like I was being attacked. She was like, what was the last time you got a COVID test? And I was like, well, six days ago when I came back from Africa, but I haven't like left my house since then. And I started defending myself.

And I was like, and I'm vaccinated. And like my fiance's immunocompromised. So if I had it, like she would have it. And she was like, well, you know, we're going to need to get another test from you. So let's go downstairs. So I go back down. Okay. Mind you, the show's about to start.

So Sarah comes and she's like, well, I'm going to go sit in the seats because we're on the fucking stage, dude. And I'm like, okay, well, hopefully I'll be in soon. So I get the test. They're still like, you know, have you felt any symptoms? Like what is going on? And I was like, no, I feel fine. I went on a five mile run today. So I wait 15 minutes.

Everyone's like staying away from me. It's like all these tents where they're doing all these tests, right? And the woman who like came and got me, she comes out like maybe 15 minutes later and everyone that's working the little tents that I'm sitting around, she gathers up and she goes,

hey guys, everyone, everyone come over here. She takes everyone over to the side of the tent so I can't hear them. And I'm sitting there thinking, holy shit. I have COVID, okay? And I was just in there hugging Sophie and high-fiving Joe and everything. I'm going to fucking be the guy. I'm Agent Zero over here.

I'm going to get the entire Joe's part is COVID. I'm going to fucking ruin the show. Kenan Thompson's going to die probably. Pete Davidson's not going to be able to go. I'm going to ruin everything. They pulled everyone aside. They're sweating being like, holy shit, I'm gonna ruin this entire thing. The woman comes back out after a little meeting and she goes, bad news. Okay, first of all, when you're waiting to get a second test after inconclusive, maybe don't open with bad news as

a joke. But she goes, bad news, got to stick through the show. Let's get you in there, kid. And I was like, wait, I was like, what? And she goes, yeah, you're fine. And I said, dude, what the fuck? And she was like, what? That was fucking scary. And she was like, what? I was like, you took everybody away from me and you hid them to the side and you had a meeting, which I assume was about how i had covid and i had fucked this entire netflix production up she goes oh no sweetie that wasn't about you well what the fuck did you take everyone away from me jesus christ lady so when you watch the netflix when you watch netflix special and you see me sweating my nuts off behind the Joe Bro's wives is because I thought

I had just given everyone COVID. That is so insane. Good story though. I know. You have anything else? I mean, I'm watching Grey's, you know, out of pure obligation. I listened to your episode with, um. Oh, you did? Yeah. Oh, wow. I heard you and Olivia talking about how, like, Grey's is, like, not it anymore. It's not good. Yeah. It's kind of sad. It's like, why not just end it when it was good so that people can say how great it was for the end of, till the end of time?

Like, I don't love the way they're going out with this show, but, you know, I watched it out of obligation. I just have to. Also, Big Sky. It's, I like Big Sky. I know people like to shit on Big Sky. with this show but you know i watch it out of obligation i just have to also big sky it's i like big sky i know people like to shit on big sky i know you're not into big sky but it holds my attention it keeps me keeps me coming back for more all right i do want to watch dune tonight oh yeah noah i started watching that with noah and i was just too tired to watch it but it looks really good yeah oh the other one that I started. You know what's back? Another Life.

It is? Yeah. Oh, my gosh. I've been waiting for that to come back. Yeah. That makes me so excited to get on a plane tomorrow. Here's what happened. Here's what happened, Brandy.

I started watching Another Life. Sarah, like Hound Dog, could sniff out that I was doing something without her. And she called me. She's like, what are you doing? What are you watching? And I was like, no, I had to watch that with you. So I watched like 15 minutes and then I stopped. I'll come back to you guys about that one.

I love that so much. Yeah. She got like a sixth sense, man. She gets so upset if I start anything without her. That's fair. I know, but it's just like, you know, you can catch up and then we can meet somewhere. Like you can have your show. I can have mine.

No, no, no. We have to do everything together. So much so that like if we go on a plane, she'll be like, what are you going to watch? And I'm like, I don't know. I haven't scrolled through. And she's like, well, tell me what you're going to watch. So I watch the exact same thing as you. And I'm like, well, you can watch whatever you want.

You get your own TV over there. I'm going to watch what you can watch. No, we have to watch the same thing together. And she goes as far as to try to get to press play at the same time. So it's happening at the same time on a plane. I love that. I got a least favorite thing. Oh, okay. I got a least favorite thing. Oh.

I got a bone to pick. All right. All right. And listen, I love Postmates. Okay. It has really allowed me to be my worst self. Okay. It's allowed me to never have to put on clothes, take a shower, meet friends.

It's great. All right. Yeah. and Postmates I'm sure you guys are listening to this show or maybe you are considering being a sponsor and then this might hurt

our chances of being a sponsor for you guys and then we're going to DoorDash whatever but here's the thing Postmates do not

have me put the tip before the food comes to me because that's not what a tip is I tip afterwards to say hey you did a great job. You know? Yeah. I'm not giving you 15 to 20 percent, guy. And you forget the fucking fire

packets from Taco Bell. OK, you had one fucking job, guy, and you didn't get Diablo. All right. So now I want that money back because that's, you didn't deserve that. You know, you fucked it up. You fucked it up. And you can't ask me to give a tip. And I also, I don't even know if it's true, but I have a feeling that they see the tip. So I want to give a good tip so that it gets to me faster. They're like, oh, well, you know, he tipped 25%. So we got to get to him faster. I don't know, but I assume that's what happens. So I can't give them less than 20% because I want my food to come promptly. And if they, you know, I give them 15%, maybe they're going to spit on my food.

You know? No. Postmates, unfair. You need to have the tip thing happen afterwards like Uber does, you know? Yes. Agreed. Get it together, guys. Can't do that.

I'm happy to tip, but not before. And here's the thing. Here's the thing. A tip, that stands for to ensure promptness, okay? Now, you can lollygag your lazy ass all over town getting my food to me if you've already got the tip, you know? You're like, well, fuck, you already gave me 20%. I can chill. I can take a stop at my cousin's house and smoke a bowl or something, you know you're like oh fuck you already gave me 20 i can chill i can take a stop at my

cousin's house and smoke a bowl or something you know oh to ensure i heard that once. I'm not sure if that's true because then it would be TEP because it wouldn't be – Well, I guess you could say like I'm insuring, like you buy insurance. It could work. It could. I don't think it is right, but it could work. Oh, my God.

Too good. I got to give credit where credit's due. That was a Sarah Hyland bit. Not a bit. She just started bitching about that to me, and I was like, you're so right. And I'm so stealing this. I'm going to put my own Wells flair on it, but that was a Sarah Hyland bit. That's amazing.

We're trying to figure out like for the holidays, like what's the play these days? What do you mean? Hear me out. You ever hear about those like rich families that would like go to Hawaii for Christmas? I think that's a genius idea. My mom and I have tried to get our family to do this for years

and nobody wants to do it. Yeah, I think I want to do it. I think you should do it because the alternative is for everyone to come together in somewhere boring and just fight the whole time like I did. Why not go on a great vacation? Well, and it's also like, it's not like it's going to be like a white winter in Studio City, you know?

It's just going to be fucking hot. Well, why don't we just go to... But here's the thing. Is it cheaper then? Like, do you get deals if you go during Christmas? I doubt it because I think more people probably do trips than we think. Yeah.

I don't know. I think I might be that guy. I might turn into that guy. I would love to be that guy. Yeah. Are you thinking like staying in the US or like international Christmas? Well, we just went to Africa, so I'm not doing another really long flight.

Because I was thinking like Jackson Hole. Funny you say that. We were talking about for Sarah's birthday doing like a wintry thing. I do want to do like a wintry thing, but I don't partake in the skiing anymore because. You don't? No, because I broke my leg in college. And so now the binding fuck up my it hurts and i'm scared to do it uh-huh and so i just drink up there and you know

yeah it was probably go to mexico you know why are you always going to mexico i love mexico one of my favorite things it's the best and. And listen, I've gone. Is it? Yes. I've got the only problem is sometimes I get sick. But other than that, other than that, I'm sorry. Mexico gets a fucking badass rap. Okay. The food there is amazing. The people are super nice. The beaches are great.

It's really cheap. And it's so close to get to. It's literally everything you could possibly want. It's like going to Palm Springs, but guess what? Half the price, better food, less old people. All right. I don't love Mexico. It's just eh for me.

You haven't been to the right places yet. I guess not. I mean, Tulum was meh. Cabo was meh. I just don't really... I just don't know. Do you have any Muzaks? Let me see. While you're looking, I saw that War on Drugs have some new, uh, new tunage. Love them. Love some War on Drugs.

From rising stars Caution in the darkness That's War on Drugs. Song's called Change. I guess the title track to the new record. I want to write a movie and have the War on Drugs be like this dude, the soundtrack.

They're amazing. Yeah. They're one of my favorite bands to listen to when I'm on laughing gas. Yeah, I know. You told me that before. It's a little like Bob Dylan and a little like Dire Straits. Yeah. I think it's a little like bob dylan and a little like dire straits yeah i think it's
