All right. There's a lot of talk these days about how our health starts in our gut. But if you're a woman, it all starts with your hormones. And as I get older, I am truly learning that. When your hormones are off, everything is off, including digestive issues, mood, mental clarity, energy levels, and so much more. And the older I get, the more I realize that I need to get a handle on my hormones sooner than later. If you guys aren't familiar, hormone harmony is a game changer for women, struggling with hormonal and balancing. that leave them exhausted, both physically and mentally.

What makes this formula like anything else in the market is that it tackles multiple hormone and balances all at the same time.

It creates a cascade of benefits all throughout the body and mine, leading to a better mood, more energy, and deep comfort. And I think that's something we all need.

real thing. She sent me a picture of a fence that was broken and said, this is how my morning's going, going to be late. To which I said, that's fine, no problem. I don't know about horse problems. Don't got them. Got other problems, not horse problems. But this also could just be a stock photo that you found the internet of a broken fence.

And I would never know the difference, you know? How would I know that this is from your farm and not just you typed into the internet? I need a picture of a broken fence to confuse my podcast host and to give an excuse as to why I can't be the right time. Now, I don't think that's what happened,

but I'm just saying, possibility, okay? It's a possibility that that's happened. Anywho, Sidney Sweeney. What's going on? You know, you put out this commercial talking about your jeans, and then everyone thinks you're talking about white supremacy and Sidney S.S. Oh, sounds Nazi. Guys, are we overthinking something? Sometimes I just think that's just about her boobs, you know? I think that was a commercial about she's got great jeans because she's got big old. No? Maybe not. Honestly, the thing that that offends me most, one, it's a rip-off of a commercial that Brooke Shields did in the 80s. Okay, so they're just like repurposing shit, which is, that's just all Hollywood does at this point.

But also, I mean, I'm not a big tit guy. So like, in my mind, I'm like, I don't care, you know. More of an ass man. It's touchy times these days. Do I think that that was Nazi propaganda? No, I think it was titty propaganda. I think it was good old-fashioned titty propaganda because you know what they say in sales, sex cells, okay? I don't know if I've ever heard that being a Nazi sells. Well, I guess if you're Porsche or Christian Dior or Volkswagen, anyways, you know what I'm saying. Anyways, you know, I could be wrong. Been wrong before, but I think that was a commercial about boobs. You've got great New York boobs. It's about time. Let's call the brand I out. Let's do it. to kill her uh it is time

hi what's going on you got horse problems oh just an average morning over here with horses busting through fences and getting all cut up why they bust through fences do they're trying to escape fucking no they don't love you i've been on vacation and the day i come home it's like they just want to make sure that my vacation is over you know what i mean a lot of animals do that like i remember my dog used to kind of pouch and be like kind of a dick to me for really yeah like when i'd come home after like a long vacation yeah well the little dogs shit in the mudroom this morning they sleep in the mudroom and they're great because i slept in a little bit even though i let them go potty at like midnight they decided to take shits in the crate last night so i woke up to that

and then saw the photo of the fence and had to go deal and then i just sent you it doesn't look that bad. The fence looks worse, actually, but one of the horses cut up their back legs if you zoom in, you can see that's on the back. So did you go out there and did you bring a hammer and nails and fix that yourself? Or are you telling someone

hey, go fix this thing? The horse that did that is Star. And Star is my show horse that I keep at a boarding facility right down the street because they have like a jumping ring and all the things. So she lives down there. So they had to fix the fence because that's their property.

but I had to go take care of Stargirl so I had to go clean her legs and wrap them and do all that and then I have to go back later with Matt and he's going to help me there's like a hot wire on the fence that's supposed to keep things like this from happening and it didn't and she tore that down I guess so we have to go fix that why do you have to fix it because it's mine I installed it because I know stars a bitch and so but it's crazy like she's been at this barn for years now and with the same horses, and she's, we've never had this problem. So I'm not sure what is happening. She was just in a fucking mood this morning.

Do you have like ring camera footage of why she did? No. No ring cameras at that barn, which stinks. Because there's, there were, so Star goes out with two horses. They're her buddies, you know, like she's been out, she goes out with them every day. And then there's another horse on the other side with a baby. They're all girls. And they've all been going out next to each other for like years.

And just all of a sudden. someone decided to cause a scene and my horse is the only one with cuts so of course I got blamed. Oh, star girl. Who knows? Who knows? Welcome back from vacay. Well, it can't be all rainbows and butterflies every day, you know?

No, it can't. It's got to be dog shit and fences broken. And horse cuts. Well, I'm very sorry. It could be worse. You could be Sidney right now. You know, I feel like she's doing great, actually. Have you not heard all the stuff? Yeah, but I feel like everyone's on her side.

Okay. American Eagles doubling down. Oh, yeah. I was talking to the YFT years before I called you about it. You know that that's a rip off of an old commercial, a Brooke Shields commercial? Yeah. They're not even trying to make new shit. What offends me about this is that someone who's just like, let's just not put in any effort.

But that's what people do now. Everything's a remake or a redo or like, it is a hot topic of combo. It is a hot topic. It is a hot topic. inner web. Yeah. What else is going on with your life? You're back from Hawaii. When did we podcast? What day? Monday, right? Yeah. The next day, tsunami. Oh, I know. You didn't even text me. Ah, you were fine. I was fine. Shockingly, I guess no one gives the fuck about me because no one texted me except for Brandon Chamberlain from the one hotel that set me up with my stay was like,

B, are you good? Yeah. Well, was it bad? I feel like it wasn't a big deal. No, well, the news was making it such a big deal right like yeah i feel like if you were just seeing it on it on social media especially like they made it seem like it was kind of doomsday type vibes uh it was a non-event complete non-ofent we didn't even see waves yeah my favorite thing was someone showed like a picture of the flat earth and they're like how did the earthquake from over here get over here yeah there was some there's some good memes out of it well i'm glad you didn't die like did anything get ruined? I feel like nothing got ruined. Our dinner. Our dinner reservations got canceled. How dare the Russians do this to you? We were upset. It was like our last night,

you know, and we had, we'd made dinner reservations at like the best restaurant, our favorite restaurant to have like this great last night with everybody. Canceled. Canceled because of the tsunamis? Yeah. The tsunams got you? It did. Damn, that's fucked up. All right. Well, let's start the show and then we'll get into BIP episode six. Okay, great. Go for it. You almost died in a tsunami. Rose and Hose, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with. Well, I was a brandy. Still here. After all these years.

All right, episode six starts with them working out. Why is every morning I got to see the workout thing? Used to be there was like one scene a season where they would all work out and then some girl would be like sitting on a lawn chair like fanning herself. I feel like it's every, it's like opening every scene. I don't need it. Yeah, I mean, you know, they're trying to up that sex appeal. So they're like more gym scenes.

I don't know. Gary is a huge commodity. People are into the G-Man. Kim is growing on me. Really? Yes. One, he almost died of a heart attack, but now he's back out there

and he's going after Nancy. It's so sad when it's like the thing that you have to relate to is like both of our spouses passed away and you're like, oh my God, this trauma bond that's happening. But I do like Kim. And then what do we have?

We have Dale and Kat, they seem good, but then Dale says he is annoyed that cat doesn't open up. Dale needs to keep his friggin' mouth shut because he is digging himself deeper into the hole of garbage men. It does seem like Dale does want to have his cake and eat it too. And his cake is cat and his eat it too is Alicia, right? Yeah, for sure. He's had one foot in and one foot out the whole season.

Yeah. He's just been waiting for an Alicia to come in. And but then you have Sean who is working hard for Alicia, but Alicia really wants Dale. Sean is just like a backup thing for her, I feel like. No. I feel like Sean always gets that. I know. And I think he's very handsome too.

I don't understand. I don't either. It must just be vibes, you know? The vibe that I get is like rich Southern guy, which. Yeah. Who doesn't want that? I mean, Dale lives in New York, which some people like that. But I think that like Sean lives.

in like Fort Lauderdale or something or like Tampa or something which if I had to choose between the two I'd probably go Florida man you know well here's the thing I think that girls just especially that age you're attracted to the bad boy

and that's Dale it's one of those interesting yeah I feel like they'd just speed through the rose ceremony yeah they're so predictable right up until the end for the most part you know who's who's together yeah

so we don't see a lot of Andrew and Alex on this show, I feel like, but you're starting to see like these little glimmers of them being cute, I guess. And then Andrew asking Alex if he'll fondle his rose because he thinks that's what is in French or something. Right. Very cute. Super cute. I know. I like them. I feel like when they don't show the couples, it's because they're doing great. Yeah. I agree. But I do want to see more of them because I want it to matter to me what happens to them in the end, you know? For sure. Yeah. All right, wipe tears. You all know how much we love articles. Wells and I both have article furniture pieces in our house. And with the season's changing,

sometimes it's time for a little refresh in the home. I love shopping article because I like being able to shop online and I like how fast the items arrive to my doorstep. Sometimes when you go furniture shopping, you'll go pick something out and for some reason you won't get it for like six months. We can't have that. When we want something new, we want it now.

They've got mid-century modern, coastal, Scandinavian-inspired pieces that really can fit any aesthetic. And the quality is so good.

I feel like, especially seeing the rest of the episode, that Jonathan should have paid it forward back to April. Totally. Jonathan's not looking great on this. No, he's not. I will say that. He probably should have just not accepted April's Rose and left last episode. I think so.

Is any guy looking good? The ones they're not showing. Me and Jesse. I mean, Spencer, I guess, right? Looks like in a little angel. He's very committed to his woman. We love that. Andrew, I guess, a little bit, right?

Because we're not seeing anything. Yeah. So I would say, yeah. But I think Spencer is looking like the best guy out of the bunch just because he's so committed and not playing games and not he's not straying. You know, he's just very down the middle. They're kicking out all the old fucks. Nancy, Natasha, April, all going home. I'm going to go ahead and say it.

I think Nancy should be Golden Bachelorette. Ah. She's beautiful. She is. I also like Leslie. I think that she. I love Leslie. The problem with Leslie is that she has a terrible poker face. You know how she feels. We'll get to it when they play that game. But like you can see that

she's like, you dumb fuck, Gary. Why are you betting this money? Why did he do that? I don't know. I do remember that day because they filmed it kind of like right below where my room was so that I was like, I didn't have anything to do. But I couldn't kind of leave because they were filming. down there. And I remember it taking forever. And I wonder if he was just like exhausted. Maybe. I give him the benefit of the doubt there. Yeah. April says she came for love and she found love with all the love that everyone, you know, gave her there. That's very cute. Very sweet. Yeah. And you know, I've always said it to show about relationships, not show about love. That's true. And then Jesse finally does the thing that we've been teasing the entire season long,

which is, there is a half a million dollars up for grabs. Everyone's, it's a lot of money. How much was the traders? 250. That's what I thought. Yeah. Yeah. I know, it's a lot of money.

And I'm sitting there thinking, I should have negotiated for more money, you know, because I can't even win it. Yeah, you should have. So what I love about what happened, I remember this happening, is that once they find out about the money, then they're like, hold on, I got to know everything about you. First of all, guys, why were you doing this beforehand? Yeah, exactly. And then second of all, why do you think it's going to be trivia show about these people?

Right. I mean, they weren't wrong because I guess the game that they ended up playing that day is know your spouse, like know your partner pretty well, but it's not what's your favorite color. I actually really liked the game. I thought it was smart. I thought it was very fun too, actually. I wasn't there for it, so I never experienced it. So yeah. So anyways, Jesse tells everyone out of the money. Everyone starts interviewing their spouses thinking it's going to be trivia. It's kind of really not, but whatever. And then they play, yeah, they play this game called High Low. Then they find out that kind of whoever wins this thing for the girls gets to decide who gets kicked out, which is. That's so sad. I know. So you kind of don't want to win.

Yeah. But you do because you'd rather be empowered than not, but you kind of want to just be in like the top three. So you're safe. Yeah. Brian and Priests are terrible at this game. Do you think that that? Horrible. Maybe Brian.

The reason why you're bad at this game. is because the night that she wanted to talk to you about your favorite color, you didn't want to do that, you know? True. And then Gary makes the biggest blunder of them all. I'm surprised no one was like, just do one. You don't need to, but just you could stay. You'd be fine.

Well, because it's a competition. Why would you help your competition? Well, why didn't then Leslie say it? Yeah, Leslie should have, right? Yeah. Been like just, you probably aren't allowed to say anything because Leslie saying something could make him be like, okay, this is, it's going to go a different way so I can't, know?

Sure. Yeah, she probably felt like she couldn't. I know. So Jeremy and Bailey get to go on the date. Sweet, cute, I guess. And then Brian,

I don't know if he likes Paris. He doesn't. I don't think so because he's like, I don't like you complimenting me. He's such a fucking dude. She is literally, I think aside from Jeremy, he's my least favorite guy on the show.

You know, it's funny because I'm seeing this all and I'm like, damn, dude, this is not what I experience at the bar. bar, I was like, you guys are cute, you guys are good. You're so similar, like, both kind of like New Jersey, you know, Italians and everything. I'm seeing all these conversations that they're having alone and I'm like, Brian, dude, like it, it's seeming like you're not interested in this woman. Men want a girl that's so obsessed with them and feeds their ego and makes them

feel great until it's too much and then all of a sudden you're clingy and you're too much and it's whatever you're coming on too strong and then they leave you for another girl that's obsessed with you yeah it's it's like men want that but then they get it and then it's it's they're too clingy it's too much like the chase is over i've been in relationships where the my partner has been like are you mad at me or is everything okay is everything okay constantly and i'm like stop it everything's fine i'm just like living my life fair but the whole like you compliment me too much Are you kidding me? You're probably going to move on to a girl that's literally in your DM's giving you compliments right now.

Yeah. Like, that's what men want. I don't know how many girls out there who are watching this show are sending him. They shouldn't be because he's a little turd. He's not looking great. I like everyone on the show. I've made relationships with everyone. I'm a little disappointed with what I'm seeing out of you, Brian, but it's okay.

Kim and Faith are getting hot and heavy. I love it. Yep. I love her. I do too. I love Faith. It's so weird, but like I want more relationships with the Golden's. I love Keith and I love Kathy separately, but they annoy me because it's like, you guys are just buds, you know?

Buddies, yeah. I want to see more of these, these olds swap and spit, trading dentures back and forth. I don't want to see that, but I do love seeing them have connections. I know, it's so cute. So cute. Jeremy telling Brian, he's like, you're basically, you're screwed, by the way. I hated it because Jeremy gives me the egg, so Jeremy can't do anything right. Who gives you more of the ick? Jeremy, but they're both just icky.

It's an interesting thing because there's not a hero and a villain. Yeah, and my thing is like, yes, Brian, part of you is like, oh my God, yes, like, Bailey deserves to know. Like, there is a little bit of that. Like, if you tell her, like, you're a little bit of a hero. But then I'm like, but you're not because you let it go on so long you could have said this weeks ago. True. I don't know if they'll show it for the next week's episode, but like I end up finding out about all this before Bailey does. And I'm also like, hold on, all you girls knew about this and no one said anything to her. You said that last week. Yeah. It's fucked. Yeah. I mean, Brian was late. And then it does seem like his motivation is to kind of like sabotage them because it's obvious that like now they're

kind of going at each other and there's only so many spots or whatnot. Yeah. Yeah, you could say that that yeah, his motivations weren't really valiant, but like at least looks like he's going to say something. No, totally for sure. Oh, you know what gave me? the most ick of anything Jeremy's done is him being like telling everybody like oh yeah we're we're deciding who goes home it's up to us no bitch it's up to bailey she's the winner bailey gets to pick quit acting like you have any power he was like acting like he was king of the whole fucking beach and got to decide who goes home no you don't and the thing is like he did kind of tell brian he was in trouble but then brian stayed so to me that was actually

the worst thing he could have done because now Brian's, he's got a target. Jeremy has a target on his back, right? I thought they should have sent Brian and Prisa home. Competition-wise, don't you think Brian and Prisa are a bigger threat than Leslie and Gary were? Yes. So like, why would you not send those two? I just didn't understand the strategy. I wonder if it's because Bailey and Parisa are friends and Bailey didn't want to do that to her friend. Maybe, yeah. It seemed like she and Leslie were so close too. I know. I think if it was up to Jeremy, he would have sent home Brian. Brian in prison.

Yeah. In Jeremy's defense, like, they both won the game together. And also it was like his betting and being like really bold that won them that game. But yeah, it's not his Yeah, I agree. For whatever reason, I was like, I don't love that look, but it is what it is. Bailey's got a tough decision. I feel bad for

her. It's, you know, this is like something that like she didn't sign up for. You know, none of these people signed up for what this is. I have a little compassion, but then I'm also like, but you could win a half a million dollars. So I don't know if I really care, but this sucks because you have to hurt someone's feelings. I mean, Rose ceremonies inevitably you hurt people's feelings, especially if like there's multiple options for you. But this one seems like it's new because it's like, I've never had hurt someone else's possibility for love or whatnot. But it's no longer a dating show. It's now a game

show. Jonathan isn't into Leah. And the person that finds this surprising is Leah. Yeah, because he led her on. I think he led her on like a little bitch because he wants to stick around. Yeah. Here's the confusing thing, right? It's like, Jeremy's done the same thing and gotten away with it this whole time. So for Jonathan, he probably sees that and thinks like, I'm going to get away with this. Yeah, but Jeremy and Bailey are romantically inclined.

Totally. So I guess maybe that's the difference. Jeremy obviously was not so lucky and the girls be telling Leah what's up real quick. Yeah. As they should. Totally. girls being girls girls I feel like it's funny who's like cat all of a sudden was like I'm gonna go immediately tell you this which that's such a hard conversation to have I got cringed out because I'm like you're doing this in front of a bunch of people and like hey by the way this guy doesn't like you and and the reason why is because I think it's me because I think that Jonathan is attracted to cat that's what I think yeah for sure I just wish that Jonathan had been a little bit more forthright transparent I guess hey I'm not sure if I see anything with us but There's a bunch of money on the line now, and we're like, I think, good teammates.

Let's see if we can just steal this money. I don't know. I think that would have been a way to go about it that would have not got him in so much trouble. Honesty is always the best policy. That's true. Brian's worried about getting kicked off the show. And so he is, you know, walking around playing a political game, which now he's not paying attention to Parisa. This is one time where I kind of agree with what Brian's doing.

You do need to go talk to all these people. It's not time to be all like lovey-dovey over here in the corner of this rose ceremony. Like you got to go figure out a way to not get kicked off this show. Yeah. And then like having, you know, her come and be upset is now taking time away from both of them going and politicking to not get kicked off the show. And I can see how Brian being like, dude, what are we doing here? We got to do this thing.

We got to, I got to talk to Jeremy. You need to talk to Bailey. So I understand it. But once again, he's not paying attention to Paris. The Golden start doing what Brian is trying to do, which is like they pull. them aside. And they give them this pitch. I gave them all, this is how you pitch this. I did tell Gary, I was like, you say, listen, we've got a strong relationship. I really like where things are going and also like, I will be your ally going forward, which is going to be valuable. I thought that

was a great pitch. Totally. But I also got kicked off of Traders the second episode. So maybe my politics game is a great. Brian pulls Jeremy and they do a total Godfather recreation scene, which I thought was great. Which, by the way, I had a long conversation with Brian where we re-talked and I was like, you know, you rub my back, I rub yours, you know, you're like, I can help each other out here. And then he goes and does it. And I was like, oh, this is amazing. And then with the music, I thought that was fantastic. I think the greatest thing that's ever happened in Rose Ceremony History,

up there with Hannah Brown moving the Rose pedestal. that was epic that was pretty great that will go down in bachelor nation lore history but leah giving jonathan the rose and saying you're welcome and then walking your way is this word gets used way too much in the parlance of our times iconic yep it was iconic it truly was i love it faith gets a rose now it's up to leslie and gary or brian and parisa bailey calls up leslie and then she gives us the old okey-doke. I will say this. I know no one's going to believe me. That was Bailey's decision to do that. Really? Yes. I know it seems like production came in and was like, okay, hold on. Let's do this. No, she was like, I love both of them and I want to be able to say

something to them before I stab them in the back. Okay. But also, thank you, because that was great television. Great television. Yeah. Brian and Prisa are around for one more day and Leslie and Gary are out. That's the episode. In a way, the way that is good strategy is that Leslie and Gary did almost win that challenge. So I guess you could say in a way that that was a good couple to get rid of.

Yeah, because Brian and Pre-so do not know each other as it looks. No. Finally have gotten to the point of the season that like I was excited for the viewers to get to because all of a sudden everything changes and the show changes. Like it's just now a different show.

thoughts on where we've gone, where we've come from and where we're going. I mean, I like it, especially, it really worked out well for them this season because there are so many strong couples that I feel like when you get to this point of the season and nobody, you know, not very many people are jumping ship for a new connection. It's a good way to keep the season fresh without it getting boring. Yeah. Because that was always the issue that we would have is that three fourths of the way through the show. Even if we brought new people in, they wouldn't make a connection.

Right. And it was always like, what are we doing? We're sending people on a date. And then sometimes people wouldn't even be able to go on the date because no one wanted to go with them. And that was just like sad. Yeah. And then having to make that decision of like, all right, it's the, you know, it's only a couple days left. You have to make a decision. It's shit or get off the pot. Whereas this is different. This is driving us home towards something else. Do like it. I do too. It'll be interesting to see if people start getting a little strategic. Mm-hmm. More twists are coming, I will say that.

Oh. Yes. Okay. More twists are coming. I hope that the audience, if we got the audience to this point, they're going to be like now locked in for the end. I think so. Yeah. All right.

It's all I got for it. Anything else? Okay. No. Brandy, what was the last time you took a blood test? Wells, it's been years. Maybe college. Yeah, same.

That's why we are going to use function because it's the only health platform that gives you access to the kind of data most people never see and the insights to actually take action. So inside function, you can test over 160 biomarkers from heart and hormone to toxins, inflammation and stress. You can also access multi-region MRI and CT scans all tracked in one secure place over time. It's an enhanced view of what's happening inside your body. Totally. Like right now, I am like a little bit worried about my immune system. I feel like my whole life, I've had such great immunity.

And lately, I just feel like it's not up to par. So doing this function blood test is going to be a game changer for me. They screen for things like vitamin D and vitamin E levels, zinc, which is critical for fighting infections. And these are all things like we're hearing so much about. And I feel like people are getting such a better insight into like how these levels actually affect your everyday life. It's so important to know what your baseline is. So you can know what you need to supplement to help get your levels right.

and routine physicals can totally skip this data. I'm really excited to be able to do this test and get a baseline of all my levels.

I have a lot of Fave things, bro. Oh, really, bro. Do you have safe things? I have a few. Wow. Wow. Maybe I'll save some then. Do you want to go first? You want me to go?

I'll start it off. Take us. I'll stick with our reality TV trajectory here, and I cruised through Perfect Match, or at least the episodes that are available to watch. Are you watching that at all? No. Oh, why not? Is that the one with Pilot Rachel and? Yes.

Oh, really? Is it good? It's so good. Really? I love Perfect Match. I've loved it. This is season three, I think. I've watched them all. What's the premise? Um, it's a little bit like paradise. Like it's almost like paradise ripped a little bit of the, the blueprint because it's a similar thing where like the first five episodes, right, are bringing different people in and out and your whole goal is to find your perfect match. And at the end of every night, you have to match with somebody. And then there's always like two people left over that go home every night. But then again, like you get four episodes in and everyone's pretty matched up and nobody is really jumping ship. And then it, it's, but it's also a competition. And so every week they have challenges. And, and, And I guess, spoiler alert, if you haven't watched and you don't want anything to be ruined, maybe skip forward a couple of minutes here.

But what they do is pretty cutthroat. They separate the guys and girls four episodes, five episodes in, and really tempt them. Like last season, it was, you know, Harry Jousie got so much shit because he was with Jess. And they seemed so strong. And he made her all these promises. I've changed. I'm committed. And then they bring, you know, sending them off with all the single girls.

And it takes about two seconds for him to slip up. It's pretty cutthroat. Like, they separate the strongest couples and bring in temptations for them to see Nick Lachet is the host and his whole thing is like, you know, the whole point is to find your perfect match, but we're going to test the shit out of you. But it's really entertaining. Clayton's actually at first. He's on the first episode.

Clayton comes in. He like doesn't really have any good connections. The funny thing about Clayton to me is didn't he play football? Like, he's like this big muscular man, but he's a complete dork. I don't see the sex appeal with Clayton. He dresses back. Like, I just, I don't know. And so he's, no one's really gravitating towards him.

And then Rachel comes in. Yeah. Rachel looks fucking amazing. She's had this huge glow up. Like she seems like she's doing so good. And she's coming on here, right, to have a fresh start. And fucking Clayton does the same shit and pulls her back in and is, what if this is meant to be that we have another shot? And she's, she so doesn't want to give in.

But he reels her the fuck in and you're just screaming at her. don't do it people don't change and sure enough they go to bed and wake up the next morning and all of a sudden he's like oh my intuition kicked in we're not meant to be and fucking crushes her like how many times are we going to let this guy do this it's so insane but it's entertaining and so the bachelor crossover i like it on this show the only because the only thing i the only show i do not watch where they pull a lot of people is love island yeah there's a lot of people on this season from love island and i don't know them you know the majority come from like too hot to handle Temptation Island, which I've also never seen

a lot of people from the Ultimatum, and I love that show. A reality show, all-star show. Nice. All right. So I'm caught up. There's a couple episodes coming out next week, but right now, it's come down to like four or five pretty strong couples, and now they're separating them all. So I'll see what happens. All right. Maybe I'll get into that. I feel like I can do one reality. I think you'd like it.

I think I would, but I think I can only do one reality show at a time. And I got to focus on this one on Paradise, you know? Perfect match. Love it. Love it. We've been watching a lot. lot of movies recently. Oh, okay. Big movie guy. Yeah.

Have you seen sinners? The movie? Yeah. No. With Michael B. Jordan? No. Love him, though. Love him.

This movie is fantastic, by the way. Really? Absolutely fantastic. You can watch you on HBO Max. Trying to leave their troubled lives behind. Twin brothers returned to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. Sinners. So Michael B. Jordan plays both smoke and stack. I think that's their names. He plays

the twins, right? So they come back to like small town Mississippi. I believe it's Clarksville. Either Clarksville or Clarksdale. Small town Mississippi, Jim Crow, it's no more slavery, but like it's still sharecropping and like not great. It's back in the oh brother where art thou times, if you will. They decide that they want to open up a juke joint, which is like a blues, for black farmers in the south. They still exist, by the way. So they decide to buy this big piece of property and it's all about the first night of them

doing this juke joint. And their cousin is this guitar player who is amazing. I think he's supposed to be kind of like Robert Johnson. It's a little bit the crossroad story or like devil went down to Georgia looking for a soul to steal. It's like that.

It's very musical. All of a sudden, these white people, they try to come into the Duke joint. and they're like, you know, this is kind of for us, you know, whatnot. Come to find out, they're vampires. And it's a vampire movie. No, no, no. Oh, shit.

Yeah, vampires. They're vampires. What made you? What was that? I was like, are they zombies? No, no, no, they're vampires. Because they have to ask to come in and they're like, no, you can't come in. You're white.

Got it. So it's like a crossroads. Devil went down to Georgia with vampires and Michael B. Jordan. Sick. It's so good, Brand. Okay. No, it's my list. So fun.

I mean, it's not like, you know, it's not like the greatest movie ever, but it's a vampire movie. So like, I don't know what wins are, but oh, I loved it. The music's really cool. Sick. Yeah. Did you ever finish the, is it called Untamed, the Netflix series? No, it didn't. No, is it great?

No, shit. Yeah, the ending was really good. You should finish it. And then we should, we should recap it. Is there a resolution? Do we find out what happened to the girl? Yes. Yes, but they also leave it open.

enough for a second season, which I think they just announced. Oh, nice. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. We need to finish that. Drug out a little bit the last couple episodes, but the very, very end was good. Yeah. Oh, we watched the new Marvel Thunderbolts, which is like Avengers 2.0, but also a little bit

like suicide squad where it's like a rag tag group of like miscreants and near-do elves that come together to be heroes against all odds, if you will. It's Florence Pugh is the lead again, and then David Harbour, who plays her dad, you know, and he's like, he's Captain America, but for the Russians, effectively. You got Sebastian Stan coming back as Bucky Barnes. You got Julia Louis Dreyfus who's in it. You've got Wyatt Russell, who's, he was Captain America, but then he was disgraced and no longer is. And then you got some new stars.

Anyways, they form this team effectively. Does not seem like they're going to be successful, but then they end up having to be the heroes because the Avengers are now all gone. It's just primetime Marvel, which is a comedy under the guise of a superhero movie. Florence Pew is so funny, and David Harbour is hilarious. That one we had to rent,

but I highly recommend, very fun. And it kind of sets up like what Marvel is going to end up doing going forward, which I appreciate. This one really tackles a lot of mental, health issues. The normal superhero trope is you have to not have an identity because you don't want your family to be endangered, right? Like that's one of the problems. And this one kind of ventures into like, if you're a superhero, your mental state's messed up. You have to kill people, right? And that's hard. That's a lot of guilt. You have to be alone. It's like, it's a lot of depression

stuff. The main guy is dealing with serious depression. And I appreciate that. I was like, oh, this is like a cool way of, like, talking about mental health stuff. Anyways, loved it. I started the new Netflix series called The Hunting Wives. Do you know anything about this? Oh, yes. I've heard about this. You haven't seen it yet? No.

I'm two episodes in. Very good. Great cast. Good cast. I'm looking at it now. Great cast. It's set in Texas. I love the way it shamelessly portrays Southern Bible Belt, you know, the mega church and just the

craziness of all that and the hypocrisy in that basically brittany snow is from boston and her and her husband moved to texas for his job and she's thrown into this world that she just does not fit into right she's liberal and dresses different talks different but it also sets up that like something happened in her past some accident or some something you know i don't know what it is yet and she's got like some serious PTSD from it then it also sets up that somebody gets murdered like it shows you in the first episode like a murder happens you can't really tell who it is it looks like it's brittany snow it's blonde hair it like looks like her but you don't see her face i'm not sure yet so there's a little bit of a murder mystery there what is the protocol would you say for like what's

appropriate to watch on an airplane where other people can see your screen like are you ever watching something and there's like oh there's a titty oh there's more titties oh gosh there's more titties should i not be watching this on the airplane that was my vibe like when i was watching episode one. I was like, oh, no, I don't know if I should be watching this right now. I've had that thought too, but sometimes I'm watching like what is on the airplane. It's like, it's on their list of things I'm watching like through their app or whatever or on the... And it's still titties. And I'm like, you guys put this here. It's not my fault. I know. But I just always think like, I was like, it's going to be my luck that there's like a 12 year old boy sitting to my diagonal, you know, one row behind me diagonally. They can see my screen and his mom's going to be

fucking pissed. Yeah. But, alas, I watched it anyway. So what you're telling me that the hunting wives have some tithies in it? They've got, it's got some tities, it's got some sex scenes,

it's got, yeah, it's pretty, it's a pretty risque show. Netflix is really edging it up, but it's great. I love it so far. Sophie O'Neill moves to deep East Texas, and she succumbs to socialite Margot's charms.

Her life is soon consumed by obsession, seduction, and murder. The Hunting Wives on Netflix starring B. Snow, Malin Ackerman, Jamie Ray Newman, Dermit Mulroney. Hot. Yeah, you can still get it? Oh, yeah. I could be wrong.

Is it a little big little lies? You know, a little bit. Yeah. A little bit. I didn't think about that, but yeah. All right. I've got one more. Now, this isn't new.

Sarah made me watch it. Have you seen Lilo and Stitch? No, I have not. Holy shit, man. Oh, God. I cried so much No Dude Lilo and Stitch is so

Oh God Disney you fucks Oh my God It takes place in Hawaii And there's this little girl Who's being raised by her older sister Because her parents died in a car crash Social Services is coming around

Because like the sister's having a really hard time Like holding down a job And like doing a good job Of being a parent for this little girl They're like trying to figure out what to do with her. It's also like juxtapose to like these aliens who have created this monster. And instead of like killing the monster, they exile it to Earth. That's who stitches.

And he gets up and I'm getting like picked up by like the pound. And so like they think that Lilo needs like maybe an animal or something to like make her happy because she's kind of depressed because her parents are dead. So then she adopts this alien that she thinks is a dog And the alien just like programmed like fuck shit up Come to find out that it's like the sweetest little family Fucking cute thing And like you never leave

Ohana means like you never never leave family behind And oh I cried so much It's so cute Okay I'm a 41 year old man I'm crying at a Disney movie Well it seems very deep for a kid's movie Dude, all the Disney ones are

That's what they do to you But I guess there's a live action Lilo and Stitch And Sarah was like, I want to watch this But you need to watch the original first And so then we watched it And then I'm like sitting there crying at the end And she's like, hey, do you want to watch

And I'm like, no I can't do this to myself again I don't watch vampires in the deep south The other thing, Brandi Oh my God, dude Have you heard about the Savannah bananas? No. Okay. I was watching ESPN the other day. It was like Savannah bananas taking on the Milwaukee firefighters. It's baseball, okay? But it's baseball that's also kind of WWE wrestling. It's like a lot of showmanship. So like you play baseball, but then like if you do a trick, let's say high fly ball is coming to the outfielder. If he does a backflip and catches it, you get a point for like a trick. Or like if you, if you, if you

catch it behind your back. It's like the Harlem Globe Trotters, but for baseball. And at first, it's very confusing. Guys are wearing capes. Someone's wearing like a motorcycle helmet out. Like, it's wild. So the first 10 minutes, Sarah and I were like, we don't know what we're like. What is this?

And then all of a sudden, people start doing flips and backwards catches and backflips. And if someone hits a foul ball into the stands, if a fan catches it, considered an out. Like they've changed the rules. Interesting. I gotta go to it. I want to go so bad. This looks awesome. Because the one thing... It sounds way more fun than boring, normal baseball. That's what I says. The problem with baseball is it's boring as hell.

It is. So anyway, Savannah bananas. I'm gonna try something different today. I'm gonna play a song that I really liked. Okay. It's the TikTok. So I feel like I can play this because this is the TikTok. I don't even know who this is.

This just showed up on my third. and I really liked it. I don't either. No Gares. No Gerez? I don't know, but she's cool. And I want to be friends with her, and I want to go see that concert.

Sick? Yeah. I'm into it. Yeah. Well, that's all I got. What's going up for you? I booked a last minute show in Toronto on Thursday. Really?

I got to go to Toronto soon. Oh, well, I feel like if we have any, I feel like we have a lot of wife tears in Toronto. Remember, a bunch of them flew down for our live show. We're huge in Canada. Huge in Canada. But, yeah, if any wife tears out there, want some Thursday night plans,

I am playing at Paris, Texas, Thursday night for, I guess, like, they're doing a bunch of events leading up to the big horse race called Kings Plate, I think, is like their Kentucky Derby. So I'll be there. And then they'll be home for a couple weeks, actually. Nice. Which I'm looking forward to, because I'm tired. I'm looking at my ring stats. I haven't had eight hours of sleep in over a week, and I'm struggling. Yeah.

Woosh. What about you? I am hanging out for the next week or so, and then I go to Toronto to film a new TV show. That's exciting. Yeah. I mean, not the Toronto part. It's not my favorite, but yeah. Well, here's the thing.

I've been in Toronto in the wintertime, and it's really, it's cold. It's very cold. But this might be beautiful. This might be peak Toronto. It could be. Yeah, and actually, I know that we do have a lot of fan of YFT years in Toronto. If you have some suggestions for what to do in Toronto, hit us up, call us, leave us a voicemail 858-630-1856. It would be great.

Love it. All right. Well, we'll see you next week. See you there. Bye. Bye. This podcast has been brought to you by Podcast Nation.
