Alrighty. What up, everybody? Doing the show early today because we've got a guest going on i'm very excited but first let's call the brand i see what she's doing oh you picked up really fast hey how you doing i picked up really fast because I just couldn't wait to talk to you, Wells. Yeah, right. More like, it's Bennett Day on YFT! We've been talking about having Bennett on for a while, I feel. I know. We kind of manifested this one into fruition.

I'm very excited about it. Before we get into the show, tell me that Stargirl won Best in in show the biggest fucking blue ribbon possible let me tell me that's what happened all right so like i said before best in show is not a thing um but i did you asked me like what would be like you know the coolest thing for her to win or whatever week two so on sundays basically like there's classes all week, but Sunday is the big day where each division has what's called a classic. Yeah. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. Sunday classic.

And it's like money prizes and the higher up you go, like the more money, whatnot. But it's like the class you really want to like win and do well in. There's 20 people in my division, which is quite a few. First week, she was eighth, which I was so pleased with. I mean, this horse is like green and experienced. These are some of our first few big shows. So the fact that I placed, I was really happy with last week. But I said, if I won it this week, that would just be insane. We came in second, which might seem like a tad bit of a letdown to you but i was so thrilled like i almost started

crying like to get second place in our in our second classic ever is a big deal at a big horse show out of 20 people so i'm super happy loved the way we wrapped up the two weeks of horse showing and star girl did great what color ribbon is that one second is red all right i'm cool with that who won um i don't know. Some girl and she, the girl that beat me also won the speed class the day before. I think her horse, you know, has kind of been there, done that, just like piloted her around. So star and I will get there and, um, you know, learned a lot, learned that, um, I will say like in the jump off, I missed my last inside turn. I took every single inside turn I was supposed to until the very end.

And I kind of just like, I think I was so pumped to have left all the rails up thus far that I forgot to look for my last turn. So I had to take a little bit of a roundabout way. And the girl that beat me was two seconds faster. So now next tour show, I know I got to take every inside turn and I got to be two seconds faster. Yeah, man. Dude, you can't forget about the inside turns, Brandi.

I know. You know what? I did all the hardest ones and I fucking forgot the easiest inside turn there was at the very end. How much money did you win? Oh, not that much. Like a hundred bucks?

I think it was $4.75. But here's the thing. It paid for my entire horse show bill, like my office bill. So technically star paid for her own horse show, which was really great. All right. That's good.

Good star. Stop being a deadbeat horse to start paying some dudes here. Gosh, she's not, she's a star Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. What's it called?

What? The, the race Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. It's it called? What? The race. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. It's the Sunday classic featuring Grave Digger and Star Girl. We'll sell you the entire seat, but you'll only need the edge. Okay, so I'll never recommend you to announce horror shows. But what about Monster Truck Series?

You could probably definitely do that, actually. Well, that's awesome's awesome dude congratulations but next when's the next one a month we're going down to gulfport mississippi man well it's exciting dude congratulations so we have a lot to talk about obviously last night's bachelor episode was ridiculous they featured me a whole lot, which was nice. I mean, it was all about you. It was great. You know? It's like, guys, guys, guys, I know I'm great TV,

but, like, let's pump the brakes a bit with all the air time, you know? Honestly, I'm a bit worried that they're going to stop spending the money to fly you out. I'm a bit... I'm a bit concerned, too. Going down. Yeah, why are you guys having me come out?

Just get a cardboard cut out of me and fucking place it next to Chris. I've been thinking about the money they're spending on the COVID test. Oh, I know. Like, what's the deal? I don't get it. Anyways.

Today's show is going to be good. We got Bennett. I think it's like Sir Bennett. He needs to be knighted i don't know if he doesn't have a scarf i'm gonna be super bummed we're gonna talk to bennett i'm gonna give him my best paradise pitch i'm excited well let's call him up i guess well let maybe we start the show and then call him oh oh i forgot about starting the show that that part it It's important, I guess. Yeah. I think it's your turn.

Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday. Bros and hoes. You're listening to your favorite thing podcast with... Wells and Brandy. I really vote to never hear that intro again. Let's call Bennett. Okay, I can't wait. We're just starting off.

Normally, we would wait until the end to do guests, but... It's too good. You don't disrespect the Bennett like this. No, no, no, no, no. Wells. Can you hear me? Yeah, perfectly. How are you? I'm doing good.

Hi, Brandy. How's it going? Pretty good. How are you? Good, thanks. Okay, fucking favorite thing right now is the fact that we have the man, the myth, the legend from Tayshia's season, Bennett on the show. How are you, dude? I'm doing awesome, man. Doing great. No complaints. I just had a knee surgery on both knees last week, so rehabbing for that. But otherwise,

I'm doing great. What happened? Did you beat the shit out of Noah and fucking he tried to kneecap you, but you still fucking finished him. And then you had to get knee surgery. Typical Noah. No, no, I it's just been a long time coming. You know, I was about 75 pounds heavier back when I played football and just wear and tear over the years. I wasn't made to be that heavy and, you know, needed to get it done. Kind of I was trying to keep up with the boys this past summer out, you know, in the gym and doing all the working out we were doing and kind of just, you know, pulled and tweaked some things and just needed to get it done. Yeah, Wells can relate. He's in the gym all the time. I know that guy. Hey, fuck you.

I played rugby in college and soccer. Okay. Just right off the bat, Bennett, how was your experience on the show? Did you like it? Did you hate it? Looking back, overall takeaways. I had an incredible time. You know, that was every single day I'd wake up, you know, with excitement for what was coming next.

You know, I just really, really enjoyed it far more than I ever anticipated that I would. It was nice after being cooped up in quarantine and all of that, here by myself in New York for so long to kind of get out. I'm an extroverted guy, and I've had a bunch of pent-up social energy that was just ready to get out there. So it was really, really nice, and I had so much more fun than I ever anticipated, both meeting Tay know, meeting Tayshia and Claire and that whole, you know, journey that we went through.

But then the guys, the production, everything. I had an incredible time. Who did you like more, Tayshia or Claire? You know, I like Tayshia more, that's for sure. You know, I think we didn't really get much of a chance there with Claire. And, you know, Tayshia was all in. And she gave us all an honest, you know, shot. And obviously real feelings were developed there, which was, you know, honestly, I was open to it,

but it was kind of the last thing I was expecting going in for those feelings to kind of take off, you know, in that environment was something that I just never anticipated. Thoughts on Claire and Dale? never anticipated. Thoughts on Claire and Dale? You know, it's tough. It's fresh. Put me on the spot right out here at the gates. Now you already got me sweating. I think it's a tough environment. It's a tough, you know, situation. Bottom line, I think that they have a lot of differences in their personality and their sort of approach. You know, I think they gave it, you know, their all and their best. But I kind of thought it was unlikely, you know, long term couple, you know, all along. And that was just sort of my take based on where they are, you know, in life, their sort of personality differences and, you know, both being very strong minded.

I just thought that was probably going to be a challenging fit there for them. Do you think that Zach and Tayshia are a good fit? I think so. I was blown away by, you know, the sort of ending there as I watched it. You know, there's a couple episodes where I wasn't on and just seeing them and how they developed there at the end. And certainly now after keeping up with them on social media and you know texting here and there with with Zach a little bit um seems like they're incredibly happy

and you know very very genuine I know Zach's a heck of a heartfelt guy and uh they seem to have something special you're the first person like I've gotten to talk to that that was on the uh the Claire Tayshia season so when Claire left and before you guys really knew Taysha was coming in, like, did you think you guys were just going to go home? You just thought, like, well, the season's over. This is it, right? There was a few days of uncertainty there, but, you know, I kind of had the mindset

that we were not out there, you know, for no reason. It wasn't just going to shut down the whole show after, you know, three weeks. I knew that they had probably something up their sleeve for us. Didn't know what direction it was, you know, taking on. It was just along for the ride. Thought anything was possible. But, you know, I thought Chris and the producers had something, you know, coming for us.

So when they finally told you that there is going to be a new Bachelorette, did the group of guys, like, did you guys all talk about that and say, like, oh, yeah, we're going to stay? Like, this is cool. Or did you not know what anybody else was going to do about that? Like, was there a question that people would leave? Yeah, I think it was a case-by-case basis. You know, I think some guys had began to develop feelings there with Claire and wanted to, you know, see what was walking in the door.

But weren't really sure whether they could, you know, take the next step and begin to further a relationship and just shift gears so quickly. I was, you know, in hindsight, fortunate at that point to have not really had a opportunity to begin, you know, developing feelings for Claire. I'd kind of been kept at arm's length, you know, from her, you know, up to that point. And so I was, you know from her you know up to that point and so i was i was you know very very much excited um i was kind of sitting there smiling and you know licking my chops waiting on you know the next opportunity to meet someone because it just wasn't there with claire kind

of felt like everybody felt that way except for what's the one guy that left jason jason jason was really the only one that i that i to me seemed like he was like, yeah, I'm out. Blake was the other one I would say. He had developed some serious feelings there with Claire and put himself out there in a way that I guess was a little bit more aggressive up to that point. So, you know, that was one that I was it was a question whether or not Blake was going to be able to switch gears. And obviously he did. so it worked out did he though because I still question whether he was really as far along with Tisha as he was trying to make it seem there near the end because I don't know I just you never really saw a relationship develop between them and then all of a sudden they're on this date

and then he's going home and he's crushed about it but I'm like or are you crushed fair fair assessment you know I think it's tough to, you know, speculate on a guy's feelings and where he's at, but I hear you. I hear you loud and clear on that. It was a funny one. We were, we were sort of scratching our heads. I mean, you know, there was weeks that kind of carried on there and we'd always have, you know, conversations. Who do you think might leave this week or who do you think, you know, is might step out. And every single week I would say blank., you know, he just I didn't really see that transition happening as quickly with him as it was with some others. So I hear

you completely. Is Ed full of shit and are his shoulders just fine? No, Ed actually has legitimate shoulder issues like he you know, He works out like an animal, which that automatically makes you question his shoulders. But anything going up above his head, he can't do. And his shoulders pop out quite regularly. And so that was one that I think he just, he was like, I didn't want to risk it. And if I go and have to go to the hospital,

I can't come back into the bubble. So it's a long-term play for me. Where is the Bennett from TV? I want the Bennett that's going to drag motherfuckers down and take them out. This Bennett has been media trained. Yeah, what is going on, man? Here's my real question for you. Because I think for a lot of people that never have done a reality TV show,

they don't really understand that when you watch it back, you obviously it's you, but it's an augmented reality of you. They can kind of twist and turn things to paint a picture that they want to paint. When you watch it back, is that you on TV or is that like a caricature of Bennett? Great, great question. You know, I think it's fair to say that's a bit of a caricature of Bennett. There is a whole, you know, other side. You didn't really get to see my heartfelt side. You get to hear about, you know, my family, my upbringing. It wasn't that those things weren't, you know, discussed, but you only get to see snippets of conversations, right, with what actually plays out on TV. So, you know, it was a little bit unfortunate in my review from that perspective. It just wasn't really the full, you know, Bennett.

And you didn't really get to see my heart. You got to see some funny parts. You got to see me involved in some drama. You got to see, you know, some romantic moments here and there. But it was, you know, more of a caricature, just like you would say. You're a martini guy, right? I like martinis. You know, mezcal is my go-to spirit. I could drink mezcal, you know, would say. You're a martini guy, right? I like martinis. You know, mezcal is my,

you know, go-to spirit. I could drink mezcal, you know, all day. I love it. And, you know, but martini kind of fit the bill there. They oddly didn't have mezcal out at La Quinta, which was a strange one to me. But, you know, I made do with the martinis, ran with it. Hey, you know where they got a bunch of mezcal um in this beautiful little uh mexican town in sayulita are you coming to paradise bro i don't know man um you know it's something that's in my head you know i'm thinking about it i'm i'm what i watched you on your uh you know i guess previous journey on uh or Bachelor in Paradise just recently. It's on my mind.

I'm not sure if it's the right decision for me from a personal and, you know, where I'm at, you know, standpoint in terms of, you know, meeting someone. But it's an intriguing opportunity, a flattering one. And I'm certainly considering it. Okay. Look at Wells. Wells went to Paradise and look at him now. Yeah, clearly, you know. Look at him now yeah clearly you know look at him now he's killing it you know he's got you know an incredible wife and uh you know he's clearly

been quite quite successful so you know i think it's worked out all right i just meant the hot successful fiance part i'm sorry fiance still still fiance she got it got it got it yeah unfortunately she wasn't on paradise right no she was on a different ABC show. She was doing her own thing. Yeah, yeah, details. But, Bennett, it opens up a world of opportunities. So let me give you my pitch, okay? As the resident bartender slash therapist in Paradise,

this is why I think you should go to Paradise, okay? All right, all right. It seems to me that you were a guy that probably wasn't a huge fan of the show, so you might not know a lot of the history of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and then how Paradise works in. But generally, this is how things happen. Paradise is a place that lets villains become good guys. Good guys become villains and people that you don't know, they get to showcase who they really are. Grocery store Joe is a very good example of a guy that, like, he went home night one, all of a sudden he goes there,

and then you learn this entire crazy story about him, and then bing, bang, boom, he's on fucking Dancing with the Stars. Great. Then you have people like Crystal, who is hated on her season, complete 180, gets to become loved on Paradise, and everyone gets to find out her backstory. For you, dude, I don't think that you were a bad guy or a good guy. I think you were presented a little bit as what I

think everyone thinks of when they think of guy who went to Harvard, right? Which is, I guess, pretentious or snooty, which I don't think that's really your thing. I think you're probably a really fucking funny, smart guy that just didn't get to showcase because there's a billion different storylines going on. Whereas Paradise is a place that really people can learn about you because you're just stuck on a fucking beach for a month, bro. Like you're not going on a bunch of dates. You're just hanging out. And I want to see the Bennett that I think that really exists on TV and not the one that's wearing scarves and drinking martinis all day. Fair enough. Fair enough. Fair enough. That's a great pitch. That's an incredible pitch. I like it. You know, I think, you know, paradise probably in Mexico is a little bit more my my speed. But,

you know, I think it's also high risk, high reward. Right. You know, the thought of having to go and, you know, continue some drama that I don't actually feel or have, you know, with Noah as part of a storyline is, you know, not something I'm really wanting and willing to do. You know, I think that that's a compromise, you know, to me and my character and who I am and my actual true, you know, genuine feelings that I'd rather not be a part of my life. And from the other, you know, side flip side, I hear you completely. You know, genuine feelings that I'd rather not be a part of my life. And from the other, you know, side flip side, I hear you completely. You know, it is certainly an opportunity to go and have more of who you really, really are, you know, come out. So I see it and I think I can do

it, you know, effectively and have a really good time doing it and hopefully, you know, meet, you know, a fiance or the future love of my life along the way. But those are just things that I'm kind of kicking around and, you know, thinking about. If you were going to go, let's just pretend for a second you're going. Who is there anybody in Bachelor Nation or even on Matt's season now? I know we don't know how that's going to turn out, but that you would want to get to know down there. That's that's that's a good, good question. Obviously, I don't know, you know, who would be going, right? I think maybe a couple of the girls that were eliminated already from that season might be, you know, interesting women. let's not call them old timers because i'm a 36 year old guy and would consider myself an old timer in the bachelor nation universe as well so it's not meant to be a bad thing but you know former bachelorettes or you know that have been on um either as a bachelorette or you know former

contestants that are from seasons in the past um you want specifics though huh yeah i want names i want to know like names i want to know what's your type i don't know. I want to know, like, names. I want to know what's your type. I want to know what you're looking for. All right. You know, I like Saina from this season with Matt, who was Let Go. She's a girl that's out in Denver now and I think was previously from Florida. Knows details. I like it. To be a little spark plug and very, very cute.

to be a little spark plug and very, very cute. I think, you know, I don't know that the Bachelorettes that I, you know, would be flattered to date. I've already talked about Andy Dorfman. I think she's either dating someone, but it would be pretty surprising if she was coming back to Paradise to try to date someone in Bachelor Nation to me, but never say never.

What do I know? Um, and I don't know. We'll, we'll leave it at that. I might think of a couple of others as we, you know, continue to chat here.

Let me ask you this and I don't need names. I just want a yes or no answer here. Okay. All right. Have any of the girls from bachelor nation DM you? Uh, there's been a few that have been in touch, you know. There's certainly been a few. Yeah.

And I think that's flattering. That's, you know, you've got this bond now, right? You've got this community, whether it's, you know, understanding or, you know, just saying, hey, I see you. And I might not have flirted with you on DM before, but now I do. It's totally fair game. So, yeah, there's been a few. I do like the Andy Dorfman angle, though. Me too.

Because Andy's awesome and actually good friends with Sarah. So I kind of like this. I could see it. I could see it. She's an Atlanta girl. You know, she lived here in New York a few blocks south where I live now. And we've got some overlap, I think, both in Atlanta, you know, her hometown where she lives within Atlanta is the same town where I went to high school.

You know, there's a lot of overlap. And obviously she's out in L.A. now. And I've kind of always thought, you know, hey, I'd meet the girl in New York, extract her, move to L.A. and start the family. But, you know, I've been willing to reverse, you know, engineer that now. All right. We've got a game reverse, you know, engineer that now. All right. We've got a game plan, which is what's important here.

Have you been watching the season of The Bachelor? Yeah, I have. I have. What are your thoughts? Yeah, fucking for 10 seconds. What are your thoughts of the season so far? I think there's been some really entertaining parts with Victoria.

She was cracking me up last night in particular as much as, you much as everyone's like, oh my gosh, get this girl out of here. I get it, trust me. But last night I had a lot of Victoria laughs with the new girls coming in and the snatch of the tiara. That was pretty good.

I think there's some cuties. I think Matt hopefully is starting to loosen up. I think he's been a little bit tight and a little bit nervous, but probably to be expected from someone that's new and fresh and hasn't had the prior experience on the show. I feel for him. It looks like a really tough position to be in, obviously. You could tell he wasn't too happy last night about the new girls

coming in and just was rolling with the punches. I thought that was pretty funny. You know, Nimacolin is clearly way more, provides way more optionality than La Quinta. That's pretty funny to see, you know, very, you know, elaborate, cool, different, you know, data ideas. But, you know very you know elaborate cool different you know data ideas um but you know some of them i think are still you know the same like the fighting thing last night it was like you know all right we kind of did that last like you talked about with ed you know through and through it's it's definitely a step up from what i've seen also obviously i'm partial because i have such a good heart for the guys that were on our season and the the experience that i had there so kind of a little bit tough to compare, but Nimacola does look pretty nice.

I can confirm it is much better than La Quinta. I got to go for the Mintel wall. I was out there. So I got to see it. It looks, you know, far and away much better. Any possibility that you would date Victoria in paradise? I don't think so i think that that's a you know no shot in hell but uh you know two inches out two inches on okay last question for you bennett would you be the bachelor yeah i mean listen i think that that's totally different than going on you know paradise right I think then you've got the optionality of so many women fresh start. You know, I like to think and hope that there would be a lot of professional women that would be excited to sign up and, you know, try to compete for my heart.

try to compete for my heart. But, you know, I think it's just a totally different mindset being The Bachelor versus going on Paradise, right? And, you know, I had so much fun on the production side and would really enjoy being involved in the show in such a great, you know, capacity. But yeah, I mean, it's not like, you know, trying to be bachelor either. I'd be happy to meet someone, you know, hobbling on my crutches, you know, to go grab a coffee as well. So we'll see. We'll see what happens, you know, in the next few months. I'm open to it all. I'd rather, you know, meet someone than not. But I see how it works on The Bachelor. I see how it works in The Bachelorette and have a little bit more comfort with that than I do with Paradise. and have a little bit more comfort with that than I do with Paradise. You know how when you're on The Bachelorette, you're always just trying to get some extra time with Tayshia or Claire, you know, and you're constantly asking producers, hey, can I go talk to her right now?

Or like, hey, when's the next date? The cool thing about Paradise is it's kind of like adult camp. Everyone's just kind of stuck there. So there's never any gatekeepers to go talk to anybody. You know, you're just always around everybody and you can go talk and hang out and do and i think that's why the success rate on that show is better than the bachelor the bachelorette is because you literally can't fucking get away from anybody so if you were to actually have a relationship outside this show you know if you would be annoyed just hanging out with them for like a couple hours, which I think is good. It's just adult camp with like much better tacos.

Quality time and physical touch are my jam. So I think there's probably more time for that and optionality for that on Paradise than there is on the Bachelor Bachelorette, right? For sure. Definitely. You know what? I'm going to send you an Instagram message. I actually have a friend in New York that I think you might be a good match

with. I'm just going to send you a profile later today. Okay, awesome. Thanks, Brent. I appreciate it. Brent, what the fuck are you... We're trying to get him on Paradise here. What are you doing?

You know what? If it's meant for him to go to Paradise, then he'll go to Paradise. Exactly. Check it out. I appreciate that. Thank you. Bennett, dude, really good to meet you, man.

Really happy to have you on the show. I have to always remind myself that what you see on TV is different than real life. And I like this version. I actually, I don't fucking know. Actually, I like both versions. I don't know, man. Listen, listen. Version one is great TV.

Yeah. Version two, Bennett, is somebody I would set up with my friend, which I'm going to attempt to do. So here we go. I appreciate it. Well-rounded. Thank you guys. Pleasure was all mine. Thanks for having me on.

Heal up soon, buddy. Cause we need to see you romping around in the sand soon. Yeah. Thanks guys. Hope to talk to you soon. All right. See you, buddy. Take care.

I mean, totally normal dude. Media trained. Yeah. You think so? Oh, for sure. For sure. You you know no one ever media trained me it's because you didn't need it you think so yeah you worked in radio your whole life that's true naturally media trained but like no one ever like approached me and was like you've just been on all these shows we should make sure that you don't say anything fucking stupid. You know?

That's because your shtick is to say something stupid. Very true. Well, anyways, I love Bennett, and I think that we did some good work on getting him to go to paradise. The thing here is we got a tag team. You have to be like the salesman, the pitch. You got to really be like wanting him to go, and then I got to be devil's advocate and be like, you know what? You do you. And then he'll think about both those things, and let's be to really be like wanting him to go. And then I got to be devil's advocate and be like, you know what? You do you. And then he'll think about both those things.

And let's be real. He's probably going to go. The success of the season really lies on his shoulders. Like I need to have him. Don't you think America thinks that way too? They're like, if we have to have Bennett. Totally. After talking to him that like the hang up for him is not wanting to have to be there

with Noah and have to relive all that drama, which is completely 1000% fair. And like for me, like I'm done with the Bennett Noah drama. I don't want to see more of that. I would rather Noah just not go. And I'd rather get to see Bennett on Paradise all season, you know? Yeah. Or go have a couple episodes where you fight, squash it, and then it's over. Yeah, I guess. Give the people what they want, man. This is WWF. We got to have The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan go at it at some point, and then the love story.

Honestly, if I were producers, though, I'd be like, you know what? We won't let Noah go as long as you promise to go and Victoria promises to go because you know there's going to be some good stuff there. Yeah. Just to see them interact would be everything. I need to have it happen right in front of me. This is the only time where I'm going to be some good stuff there. Yeah. Just to see them interact would be everything. I need to have it happen right in front of me. This is the only time where I'm going to be cool with being cut out as long as I just get facial expressions in to be like, oh my God.

Speaking of you getting cut out, it was nice to see you for two seconds last night in one shot. Here's my only thing is I had to go and hang out in a hotel room for like 10 days should not be on the show at all it's like guys i really do appreciate like that you want me to come on the show and stuff but like what am i what happened i didn't even say i didn't even say a word not one word they introduced you and it was the weirdest intro i'm like he is and then i never saw you again. Yeah. I can tell you like the logistics of what happened.

Obviously there's their fit. They had a fit. I think they fit like what they thought was gonna make three episodes into one episode because you have the one-on-one date. You've got Ben's date. You've got the new girls coming. Then you've got my date. That's at least two episodes.

So I think what I think that means is I think that there's a bunch of stuff that's going to happen that they had to squash a bunch of stuff into this episode, which. Yeah, I could see that. Which effectively they cut both me and Ben out of the show. Ben was, I mean, he at least said words, but not very many words. Not very many. I'm bummed that like you didn't get to see like the jokes that Chris and I were talking about on the show, which there was a bunch because everyone fought.

They only showed like three fights, but everyone fought, right? Yeah. What I'm more upset about is that you didn't get to see Ben because apparently Chris was dying laughing when he was like, oh my God. It was the funniest thing ever. And I was like, what? And he was like, Ben is just running around just yelling at women. Put the suit on! Put the squirrel suit on!

Roll the pumpkin! What are you doing? Don't you want the rose? He was like, fucking Ben Higgins, the sweetest guy in the world, is just yelling at these women. Why did he not show this? I don't know. I'm bummed they cut me me out and i'm really bummed they cut that because that sounds so funny man just thoughts on the show in general what what

are you thinking the big takeaway for me kind of what i brought up to bennett was this like new girl michelle and his just automatic i don't know connection with her um but like for me the group date the squirrel thing very anticlimactic like almost not even worth doing yeah right i mean like it was funny that maggie was stuck in the lake and couldn't paddle like that was funny but then um you know mari wins and gets nothing a stupid freaking trophy like who cares these nuts like it literally like usually when a girl wins something like that, it then creates drama because they get more time with Matt, right? Like, create some drama in the house. This did nothing.

They handed her a trophy and, like, that was it. It was a pointless date. Here's what I learned from the show. Katie, dildo girl, I think is going to be the bachelorette. She's getting the most fucking bachelorette she's getting the most fucking bachelorette edit i've ever seen of anybody ever she looks so good deservedly so i love her to death i already knew that victoria is victoria and she's going to do victoria things and so like that doesn't shock me so much but anna is starting to show her true colors. I've known since the beginning that she was a loose screw.

Yeah. She always looks like she's smelling shit. And now, I'll tell you who's starting to go down a bad path is MJ. I know. And you know what? Something I knew deep down that MJ was a loose screw too. I could just see it. What's weird about it is that like, remember in the beginning, I was like, MJ is so hot.

She looks like she just like gets out of bed and like just like doesn't put any makeup on and this naturally looks it looks great and now she's starting to look tired and it's almost like she's like turning evil in front of our eyes you know yeah i do think like how long have they been there now like four weeks or something yeah probably about a month so they're like starting to lose it a little bit like the ones that are you know it's like the first round of of girls that that snap i think that there are two unforgivable rumors you can start about someone number one is starting a rumor that someone has an std i think it's really fucked up that never washes off even if it all comes out that it's not true it never washes up there are kids that i

remember in high school that there's a rumor about them that's still what you think of to this day you know like it's something that you just can't get rid of it's so fucked up and no one really knows the truth and the other one is to say that you're a prostitute and actually it's 2021 who gives a shit if you're a sex worker get yours whatever that is so unforgivable to me now anyone who's even involved in that like even if that was remotely true you shouldn't fucking say that here's my thing about that fuck you anna and i'll tell you why fuck you because anna you went through the same background check that i went through. Those motherfuckers knew the time that I got a misdemeanor in Pfeiffer State Park for smoking pot when I was 17 years old. You don't think the private eyes would have found out if someone was a sex worker and put them on the show?

That's so fucked up for you to do that to somebody. And then to do it on national television, no less. Shame on you. I agree. It's just gross to me. So, okay, here's my question. Did they give him more roses to give out because they brought new people in? Because it seemed like he ended up with more girls than before. Yeah, I don't know how the math works either. Like that's not how it's supposed to work though.

Because the girls kept saying like, there's only so many roses and there's five new girls. But like, I think they gave him more roses because there were new girls coming in maybe i don't know like the show could go on forever let's keep on bringing new people in extra roses yeah i'm like wait in a second expected way more to go home yeah did you like that they brought in new chicks i kind of did i mean there's like a few girls that i see him making genuine connections with but overall there wasn't one that I was super excited about. Right. Like there's no there hasn't been one that you think like, oh, my gosh, like this is it for him or whatever. And then you bring these new girls in. And I'm

telling you, this Michelle chick, like he did not have this immediate connection with anybody else. Like it is drastically different. Yeah. And I think he needed that. I'm so grossed out by this whole rumor thing. Is there any way you come back from that as Anna and Victoria? Unless Victoria does something even worse. With a mugshot of her, she stole some shit. Have you seen that? Oh, yeah.

She looks completely different, by the way, now than all the photos I've seen of her prior. You're a fashionista. Can someone teach her what bras to wear with certain dresses? Kit needs to do that. Her mom's a fashion designer. Someone needs to help her. Someone does. Also, can we get some ointment for the stye that you have on your eye? I just don't know what's happening. Oh, geez. Yeah. eye that you have on your eye i just don't know what's happening oh geez yeah do you think that matt's scared to get rid of victoria i think it was early in the episode they're like talking and she's like i just think we're a really great match and he's like me too and then he gets like on the bat phone he's like send in chris i need help and chris comes in he's like sorry to interrupt but uh

how about when toria stole the crown i mean did she steal it though i felt like the girl kind of handed it no she took it off her head but the girl just let her i would have been like no yeah how to slap the bitch yeah she just like let her do it i know insane to steal a crown from an actual pageant queen yeah baldy so amazing all right katie for bachelor dude katie's done a thing that i didn't think was gonna happen she made me not call her dildo girl oh yeah she's now katie she's my sweet sweet katie and we gotta get her on the show somehow i'd love to have katie on all right that's enough bachelor stuff all right all right brandi new year new.

You got some fave things, bro? Well, since I've been horse showing, I've watched nothing. So I'm really hoping that you've watched something. But I did finish the book that I talked about last week. Oh, yeah. Was it good? I'm watching you. And I know you said you were

maybe going to read it. I don't know if you're going to like it. So like three quarters, like the book was so good up until about three quarters of the way in. And then like all the suspects that you start to think like, Oh, it's for sure going to be this or this or this, like all of a sudden, like, like real quick, they just, all of a sudden those people are have alibis and they're like not in it. And you're like, what the hell? like there's only like 10 pages left in the book like how is this gonna end and i don't want to ruin it for you guys in case you do read it but i just did not love the ending like there was a twist but the twist just did not satisfy me because you don't get invested enough in the person that kind of comes into the end to really even care. It was weird.

I don't know. I didn't love the ending. I really didn't. Okay. Which was unfortunate because it was really good up until the end. All right. Good to know. Speaking of books, you're going to think I'm such a dork.

Did you remember the show Firefly or the movie Serenity? No, I think I'm too young for those. Maybe. I was obsessed with this show. Nathan Fillion was the lead. It's got a huge cult following. So here's the tag. 500 years in the future, a renegade crew aboard a small spacecraft tries to survive as they travel the unknown parts of the galaxy and evade warring factions as well as authority agents out to get them.

So it's Nathan Fillion. He is the captain of the ship, which is called Serenity. It's basically Star Wars, kind of. And I was obsessed with the show. And I tell you all that to tell you that there is like, I think, fan fiction books out there for this. And did I just read a Firefly fan fiction book?

You know I did. And it was great. And I'm a fucking nerd. But if you ever like the show Firefly, let me tell you Firefly Big Damn Hero by James Longrove is great. Wow. Okay.

There you go. That's all I got on it. Wells enjoys fan fiction. I mean, I'm not going to lie. It's nerdy. Are you going to go in some Reddit threads and discuss your fan fiction next? No, but maybe. I don't know, guys.

I do have a show that I think you're really going to like. Have you heard of Messiah? No, but I feel like I've scrolled through and seen that. It sounds familiar. It's on Netflix. Okay. New or been out for a while? New. Here's the tag. When a CIA officer investigates a man and his followers, attracting international attention through acts of public disruption, she embarks on a global high stakes mission to uncover whether he is a divine entity or a deceptive con artist. Messiah. So it starts out in like the Middle East and it's this kind of like young prophet leading a bunch of

people and he looks like Jesus or like what we think Jesus looks like. And he's kind of doing a bunch of Jesus shit. He's doing miracles. He's getting arrested and being able to disappear. And he's able to like go from like the middle east to texas and like what seems like a day and he's leading all these people and pissing off a bunch of rabbis and high priests and whatever a lot of people are like this is the second coming and the cia is on him because he's creating fucking crazy unrest in the middle east i don't know if he's a con man or if he is divine we're only like halfway through it great cast great acting when i watched i'm like i don't

think that jesus would come back because this is what would happen this the cia would be like no no no no you're going to jail like immediately like i wonder if god and jesus are like should i go back and then he's like, I don't know. It's not a good time right now, you know? I don't know. Anyways, it's really good, Messiah. I think you'd like it. And it's just.

Yeah, it sounds good. And like you're kind of religious and you come from like a very Christian family. I think that you'd be into it. Okay, we'll check it out. Sounds like something where I would also like. For sure, bro. Okay, the other show that I really liked a lot, it's also on Netflix, The History of Swear Words.

What is that? Is it a comedy? It's like a documentary hosted by none other than Nicolas Cage. Oh, no. He's an Academy Award winner. Oh, no. He's an Academy Award winner. Oh, no. It's a documentary about the history of swear words. Okay?

And it's fucking hilarious. So this is the tag. An education in expletives. The history lesson you didn't know you needed. Hosted by Nicholas Cage. A loud and proudly profane series that explores the origins, Nicholas Cage, a loud and proudly profane series that explores the origins, pop culture usage, science, and cultural impact of curse words. So it's just like basically a bunch of comedians, Nick Offerman, Nikki Glaser, Sarah Silverman, Jim Jeffries, high level comedians talking about cuss words hosted by Nick Cage. First of all, it's fascinating.

And then also hilarious. History of Star Wars. Highly fucking recommend. Oh, really? Sounds like something that would not that I'm going to get high, but it sounds like it'd be fun to get out with my mom and my sister and watch that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We kind of went back in time a little bit. We got that DeLorean up to 88.

We went back in time. Do you remember the show Jericho? No, I never watched it. It's like a network show, right? Yeah, I think it was on like Fox or something. It came out in like 2006. Okay, so it's kind of old. A year after I graduated high school.

Wow. Oh, sorry. It was on Wednesdays on CBS. A small town in Kansas is literally left in the dark after seeing a mushroom cloud over nearby Denver, Colorado. The townspeople struggle to find answers about the blast and solutions on how to survive. The main character is Jake Green, who was best known for his portrayal of Billy in Scream. Mmm. Heart Throb 2006.

And basically, like, he comes home, he's trying to get some, like, his grandpa's money, and, like, no one really knows, like, what he's been doing, and so he's kind of a questionable character, but he seems to be beloved by and so he's back home he's like trying to get money like his grand his inheritance from his dead grandpa and his dad's like no you don't get this money and then all of a sudden there's a huge mushroom cloud in denver colorado everything goes berserk end of the world apocalyptic shit i slept on it in 2006 because i was, I don't know, fucking in college. But Jericho, Wednesdays on CBS, but really now on Netflix, is pretty great. Okay, so when we get desperate and there's no TV, we watch Jericho.

Oh, you're not there yet. Got it. Okay. Wow. That must be nice. Yeah, I still have to watch all the shows you recommended last week. Yeah, well, good luck. And that's it.

I've got a couple more that are like there's some ya things that we got going on that i'm not super proud of and i'm not sure if i want to like share with the i feel like i feel like the wife you're saying i'm cool and i did and i don't want to let them down so i don't know we're gonna maybe next week we'll talk about some of these like ya like fairies and uhies and witch shows that Sarah and I may or may not have been watching. So whatever. It's fine. Can't wait to hear about that.

You got some musics? I do have a couple of musics. All right, cool. I got some musics too. So I was listening to my release Radar. Yeah. My drive home yesterday. And this song came on.

And I was like, oh, who is this? It sounds like somebody that I would really, really like. I thought it was somebody new. It's not. It's my boy, Jared James. I think we've played him on the podcast before. It's J-A-R-R-Y-D, Jared. Yeah, I've made fun of how stupid this is.

Yes, and he's got a new song out called Overdue that I really, it's a vibe. California bleeds. California bleeds me dry. That's a vibe. Chill in your car, driving down the highway. Or it's an add to the playlist you listen to when you go to the dentist and get the laughing gas kind of vibe. Can't wait for that. Number two. Okay. So there's this band. I think they're an LA band. I actually, a decade ago when I was in a band, we used to play shows with this band. They're called Sir Sly. Have you ever heard of them? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Love Sir Sly. They have a song out called Citizen and Gary Clark Jr. is featured on it.

It's a sick track. Super sick. times what's the dream she's been dreaming you will never make anything great again you're not my friend can i get an amen oh yeah i like that one it's cool we listened to that in the car a few times on our 10-hour drive home. Got a little country jam for you guys. So Mitchell Tenpenny, he's kind of like an up-and-coming country artist. He, I think, put out this song last year called Broken Up, but he just released the acoustic version of it.

And I really dig the acoustic version. Here's what I'll say about Mitchell Tenpenny. He has a song called Drunk Me that I loved. Best song he's put out in my opinion. And then he also put out a cover of that Lewis Capaldi song. What's it called? The huge one? I don't know, but I know what you're talking about.

And his cover of it is amazing, by the way, if you haven't heard it. So I've decided that I love Mitchell Tenpenny acoustic, like broken down, like chill. Still broken up about it. Yeah, I've had it up to here. I don't know about it, baby. I will open up about it. Yeah, but only give a dream till I'm drunk about it. Lord knows I wish that I could say that I'll be fine. But baby, I'm still broken up about it.

Okay, I know why you like this guy. Why? This is the country version of John Mayer. I could see it. This is John Mayer right here. Come on. I'm here for it. Hey.

I love a swinging melody, like a swinging chorus. But now she ain't on my side. Cause I'm the one to blame about it. I love a swinging melody, like a swinging chorus. Pumped to see that Weezer's got some new tracks out. You guys know how I feel about Weezer. And it's called All My Favorite Songs. It's hilarious because it's exactly how I feel about music. I wanna be rich, how I feel about music. All my favorite people make me mad, so mad Everything that feels so good is bad, bad, bad

All my favorite songs are slow and sad I don't know what's wrong with me All of my favorite songs are slow and sad too. I love Loser. They're so good. Dude. They're so good. What else you got?

I've played Pine Grove before, but they've got a new track out called Dotted Line that I was digging on. If you're like a real emo indie kid and you don't know Pine Grove, you gotta get down. In the night when I feel your absence. Like a dotted line across my shoulder. Like a silver... 2006 BC, would have loved. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Last one, my boy's moon taxi got a new track out.

And you know I gotta represent for trev and tommy i keep leading my case for getting misunderstood so tell me tell me what's it gonna take i've been disconnected every time i'm looking for truth like a fighter survivor gotta stand up and prove because i know i know it's the only way If you're a little bit scared, be a little bit brave Don't ever be afraid to Say what you gotta say Say what you gotta say

Summer anthem for sure. Love, yeah, that's awesome. Yeah. All right, that's all I really got. Well, you did good. You did too. You did good. You got a big week ahead of you?

No. Super chill week since we've been gone for two. I feel like I've been gone a month at least. My mom is still here in the basement. So I'm going to try to spend some time with her. And then, oh, I guess I can say this now because Miley finally announced that she's playing at the Super Bowl. Yeah. She's doing the tailgate party.

So we are going to drive down to Tampa in a couple of weeks, pretty much drive right back where I came from and get to go to the Super Bowl, which is super exciting. I have no idea what it's going to be like because it's COVID, but we'll go and we'll mask up and we'll watch Miley perform, which is super exciting to go to a show. Oh, my gosh. And then Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes. Jesus. Oh, yeah.

That's cool, I guess. Okay. Sweet. All right. Well, that's cool. Yeah. Living the life, I guess. Okay.

I guess thank you to Bennett for coming on the show. That really lived up to it, I feel like. You know what? I like Bennett. I'm really going to try to set him up with my friend. Okay. Is your friend Andy Dorfman and is the location

Mexico? No, but I also am here for that. I could see it. I love that. I could see him and Andy. I love that. I cannot wait to tell Sarah about that because they're friends and she's going to be like, stop it. Love it. But once Sarah hears our interview, she might be like, you know what? You're right.
