Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Houston, We Have Opinions

Episode Date: April 8, 2026

YFT’er’s, how was your Easter?? Brandi’s was low-key except for the full-blown decision fatigue as a result of the new house reno, and Wells spent time with a sweaty Easter bunny dealing with a mild existential crisis. The duo then blast off into space talk with Artemis 2, moon mining theories, and flat-earther meltdowns before diving into hot takes on Project Hail Mary (packed theatres, surprisingly funny, visually epic) and a stacked fave-things list including For All Mankind, Paradise, The Madison, Ponies, and more — plus a few hard passes (Wicked 2, Send Help). They wrap with listener voicemails covering everything from aliens (thanks, Obama?) to Traitors questions and a very reasonable request for timestamps (which you now see below!)

This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. What's up? Oh, nothing. I started to see some house tours on Instagram of your new place. You probably saw that on Matt's Instagram, not mine. I haven't posted shit. I just, we keep meaning to go over there and post some things. But every time I go over, it's so loud because they're demoing.

Yeah. And I like, fuck, I should have posted like a hole before. I do have photos and videos. worry guys like I'm still going to post before but I should have gone over there and you know showing everybody the place or we ripped it apart so I'm just going to have to post the videos I have to show you all but this week I'm going to get on it I'm going to get on the content creation and show you guys the house and what we're doing but like Matt's been getting after it they have ripped everything out that we want out so fast yeah I got to tell you I'm fucking exhausted I have

decision fatigue having to decide all these little tiny things is Insane. Why don't you get Tish the dish on the... Tish the freaking dish won't answer my phone calls. Why? What is she in? I don't know. She's quote unquote busy.

Come on. Busy, she says. What's she doing? Smoking weed? You know what? Last time I was in town, I did not see her smoke any weed. Really? Yeah.

Even when you're doing Sorry Overs Cyrus? Not once. For her. Yeah. It's always a good sign when Tish is good and not smoking weed, you know? Yeah, yeah. When she's like mentally good and not smoking, it's. like, wow, if you're mentally good and don't have to smoke, like, you must be really good.

Totally. Love that. Did you have a nice Easter weekend or Passover weekend, whatever you celebrate? He has risen. Praise him. It was fine. I did a lot of housework on Easter. Well, J.C. was a carpenter.

True. But I don't know if he was doing laundry, though. Lord, I was in, like, laundry. It was really uneventful housework. And then Matt and I had a nice Easter dinner at Flowerchild, our favorite. A flower child. That sounds like a vegan. It's not. Okay.

Otherwise, Matt wouldn't go there. Yeah, okay. Good, good, good. You've never been to Flower Child? I don't think so. Oh my gosh. Shout out. I think they have one in Orange County, but not. I wish they'd put one in, like, Toluca Lake, because I eat there every day when I'm in town. It's just like simple, healthy.

They have wraps and salads and stuff, but I love, like, the plate, like a protein and veggie plate. You know, like you pick your protein, pick your two veggies. And I always get the salmon because it's so yummy. and then you can choose from like mashed potatoes, gluten-free mac and cheese. They have a lot of gluten-free options, which is great for my diet right now. Here's the teeth, though, I did a deep dive. And it does say that they sometimes cook with seed oils.

So the pro tip is to go in and ask them to cook it without it. And every time they've done it for me, every now and then you'll get someone that's like, I don't want to do that, but acts weird about it or says they can't, but they can. So I always like order the salmon and say, but hey, can you cook it for me in just olive oil and add salt and pepper? It's so much better that way. It's so much fresher. So bomb. You guys got to check it out if you have one.

Okay. I hate to be this guy, but I think there's a real world in which they're like, yeah, sure. And then they just do what they would normally do. It does taste different though. Does it though? Or is that just your mind. It tastes very fucking different when they give it to me, when they cook it the way I ask, which is like olive oil, salt and pepper.

That's it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just telling you. Well, sweet. I went to an Easter pot yesterday. Took a picture with the Easter bunny. The poor Easter bunny.

What do you mean? He is sweating or she. I don't know. I don't know what the gender is. I walk, we walked up. We were kind of, we were like the last people to sit down and everything.

And we walked up and the Easter bunny was like hunched over. Looked like that Easter Bunny is having an existential crisis and like just dying inside. And it was just the funniest thing in the world to be like, I'm sorry, Mr. Easter Bunny, but you got like a couple more pictures and then you're done. And I'm sure they were sweating so bad in there because it was, it was hot, you know? Definitely.

So yeah, anyways, it was a lot of fun. And then we came home and we watched a movie that I am going to be negative about in a little bit. Ooh, really? Yeah. But real quick, though, can we talk about Artemis 2? Are you excited about this at all? What is this? We're going back to the moon, baby.

Are we? Are you serious right now? I am serious. Also, did we ever go to the moon? Oh, my God. You're one of those people. I actually have no idea. This is what I hear people talking about.

Yeah. We are starting up a moon thing again, right? And so we just sent four astronauts in the Artemis 2. They are at the moon. I think they've gotten to the moon. They're on the backside of it. They're just going to go kind of do a flyby, then come back home.

And then I guess in 2028 we're going to land there. And then I guess they want to start building some sort of base there, which I don't know if that's really necessary. Why are we doing all these things? And I keep on hearing a lot of stuff of we can mine the moon really well. They've got a lot of precious metals that we could use. And also because of its low gravity, it would be easy to move things around. And I guess what they're thinking is that if there are like precious metals that we need,

we can mine it on the moon and then they can make this kind of like long bridge and just kind of shoot stuff off the moon towards the earth and then have like a parachute on it and it would just like land in the ocean. We go get it. which seems crazy, but... You know what we need? What's up? Gas. We need gasoline.

We need oil. Do they have that on the moon? No, there's no fossil fuels on the moon. Fuck. I'm sick of paying these gas prices. Well, it's because of the straight of Hormuz. By the way, Donald Trump's tweet yesterday was on Easter. Follow Donald Trump.

No, but I saw it. It was on Easter Sunday, and he was like, he said praise Allah. Good, good. On Easter Sunday. I was like, man, that's pretty great. So, yeah, we're at the moon right now, which is pretty exciting. Well, we're circling the moon. Yeah, you know, we're doing a drive-by.

Doing a drive-by. We're going to quit drive-by, seeing what's going on, seeing if there's little fires there, little aliens. Is it hollow? Is it a moon base? Who knows? But if they've already been there, why do they need to do these things? They want to go back? They want to build a base there. You know, I think they wanted to build a base on Mars, and then they started to realize that maybe we should start with the moon. and then go to Mars. Mars does seem cooler.

Yeah, but the moon's much closer. Yeah. I don't know. Anyways, that's happening. That's exciting. Yeah, very. But I imagine all the flat earthers out there are having an issue with all this.

Definitely. They're like, oh, yeah, right. That picture's been doctored. You can't say anything to these people. No. They just like to argue. I do feel like the flat earthers out there. I bet you trace is a flat earther.

Yeah. For sure. That's not good. If you're a flat-eather, you did not pass seventh grade remedial science class. So, Trace, what's going on, bud? I don't know. You want to watch the show? Yeah.

Speaking of space. Have we talked about Project Helmere in the movie theater? No, but I saw it too. I saw that. Yeah, I posted about it. I'm promoting people to go to the movies again. The theater was fucking packed when we went.

Dude, ours said it was packed and then when we got there, no one was there, and then, okay, let's just sidebar the movie, movie theaters. We got to figure out movie theaters. If you guys want this to come back, okay, so we looked online, it was like, looked like it was completely packed.

We get there, no one's there. It was like very confusing. Said the movie started at 420, okay? I looked at my watch, it was at 450, the movie started. No. 30 minutes previews. That's, no.

The movie should start when you say the movie starting, okay? But it doesn't. It doesn't. And then 45 minutes after that, some people came and sat right next to us, and there was plenty of more seats, Like, go over fucking there. What are you doing?

Well, here's my complaint. And I know this depends on the theater. But I saw it in IMAX. Yeah, me too. The seats were very uncomfortable. And for $25 a fucking ticket, I expect a more comfortable seat. My seat was comfortable. And it, like, it reclined back.

And then it had, like, a little tray table. Mine did not. I was very disappointed. Now, as someone who has read the book, did you enjoy the film? I haven't read the book. Oh, you haven't? No. Remember I told you I wanted to wait.

I wanted to see the movie and then read the book. Okay. Did you like the movie? I did. I liked it a lot. Okay. However, since I didn't read it, I think I was expecting something completely different. Okay.

I think I was expecting Matt and I saw it together. We both kind of had the same take on it. We both were kind of expecting like something like interstellar, like deeper and more and darker and just not so much of like a like a lighthearted comedy. You know what I mean? So that threw us both a little bit. Yeah. I did. I liked it a lot.

Love Ryan Gosling. I thought he was fantastic. I thought it was very unique for a space movie in the sense of the alien guy was very cool and unique. And I've always said, like, why are we terrified of aliens? They could be so fucking cool and nice. So we don't know. And this alien was all of those things. So I loved that.

My biggest complaint was like, I expected more sick space scenes, you know? Like when they did it, it was so fucking cool. And it was like so worth being an IMAX for like the couple of minutes you got like the space scenes, you know? But I wanted more of it. I felt like it was just too much of Ryan Gosling making jokes. And I was like, why am I sending in an IMAX theater for this? And I just, I wanted more space. Like the one scene where everything was, was it pink, magenta?

I can't remember. Yeah, red. That was sick as hell. Yeah, when they're, they switch over to infrared. Look at the astrophage. loved that. Well, anyways. You are the nerd.

The astrophage. Yeah. What are you talking about, dude? The alien? Oh, do you mean Rocky? From Orridian? Rocky. He's an Oridian.

Also, I would have liked to see more of Rocky's planet. Yeah, but that's not how it is in the book. You just didn't know what the story was. So like you expecting it to be like a darker, you know, space movie. That's just not what it is. I mean, the book is very funny. Like, it's Andy Weir who wrote it, who also wrote the Mark. which is also a very funny movie.

But not. I felt like the Martian was much more. No, it's the same thing. It's, it's Matt Damon looking into a camera and do a video log, making jokes about and then being smart. It's very similar. It's very, very similar. I don't know. I like the Martian better.

It also happened, you're fucking crazy. Also, Ryan Gosling is just funnier than Matt Damon. So like, he is. It's just going to be funnier. Anyways, the movie is fucking fantastic. And you're crazy for having any complaints about it. Okay, real quick, let's talk about Project Hell Mary. If you haven't seen it yet, you don't want any spoilers.

Skip ahead four minutes, five minutes. Like a lot of people are upset about some. There's like a few tweaks from the book, but from the most part, it was, and I just reread it. So I was like, it was really top of mind. It went beat for beat almost exactly to the book. I thought they were going to change the ending, which would have annoyed me because I really like the ending.

For people who have read it, the only thing that's different is they didn't really go into how they were able to produce the astrophage, which is they were able, they go and, like, take over the Sahara Desert and, like, completely cover it with solar panels. And then we start setting off nuclear bombs and the poles to warm up the planet to keep it warm for long enough for Grace to be able to send the Beatles back. And then also they don't really talk about, there's a big twist when it comes to his amnesia that they didn't really talk about in the book.

But other than that, 10 out of 10, fantastic film, want to watch it again. They did such a good job. I love that they used actual puppet, like not CGI. It was like practical puppetry. Rocky was so good and so funny. I cried a lot in it, which... Oh, wow. That people were definitely tearing up in the theater.

Oh, you know? Oh, I do have one question. So towards the end, when Rocky is in the glass ball, Ryan Gosling is dying and Rocky breaks out of the glass ball to save him. Yeah. How does Rocky get back into a glass ball if he's can't breathe? So they changed that in the book, Rocky saves him and then collapses on the floor. Now, so Rocky breathes ammonia and he also lives in a much higher pressure like atmosphere.

So oxygen running like into his lungs basically ignites because oxygen's flammable at a certain temperature. So he basically starts breathing fire. He's able to like get them out of the spin so that when when Rylan wakes up, he notices that Rocky's in there because the pressure. year on his planet so much higher. So he lives at like 250 degrees or whatever. So when in the book, Rylan has to pick him up and carry him back into his enclosure,

and he burns, he burns himself really, really badly. But if it's glass, how does it fix it? It's not glass. It's, so he has like a special alloy on his planet that he's able to use. And he teaches Grace how to use it. Because they start using a lot of Rocky's technology more than the human ones

because the Rocky stuff is much much better engineered. Right. That was my one part of the story that I just was like, this isn't super, they've done such a good job of making everything believable up until that. I was like, how does he just break out,

save everyone and then end up back in there and they didn't show us how. I just didn't love that. I wish they would have let us see how he got put back into the thing because I thought he died and I was devastated. Well, yeah, you're supposed to think that. That's right.

Even in the book, you're like, And then I was like, wait, how could he not have died? Like, he can't breathe. Also, in the book. So I would have just liked to have seen that. In the book, Grace makes this machine that blows compressed air over his, like, basically his lungs. And it blows off all this black soot.

And he thinks he's helping him. But then Rocky wakes up and he's like, why did you do that? You could have killed me. And he's like, what I thought I was helping you? And he was like, those are like, those are like, basically your scabs. They were healing me. But thankfully, I was like healed enough that I was able to, like, not die. Anyways, I loved it.

You need to go read the book. I know, I'm going to now. I'm about to take a friggin' gajillion hour flight to Hawaii and back this weekend. So I will read it then. It's so good. Go read it. Go read it now. Leave the show now and go do that.

Me? Yeah. Go. You want to do the rest by yourself? Yeah, I can do it all with myself. Speaking of space. I can. You're just to say you want me to be here.

Speaking of space. No, I want to do. watch you to be here. I started watching a show again that I feel like I promoted maybe a couple years ago and then we fell off it and then we have started back. The show is called For All Mankind. I never saw this. Was it good? It's awesome. I don't know why I stopped doing it. I mean, it started in 2019 so we definitely were watching it during the like the pandemic. They've got like, you know, seven seasons or something in an alternate version of 1969, the Soviet Union. beats the United States of the moon,

and the space race continues for decades with still grander challenges and goals for all mankind. It's kind of similar to, like, you know, the way that Tarantino, like, takes historical events and then changes them, and then it's like, what would this, what would this world look like if it went that way? That's kind of what they've done.

So, like, it just goes back to, like, whatever, the 60s and 70s, and it's the Russians that get to the moon first, and then the Russians send a girl first. And so then it's just like all, NASA is constantly, like on the back foot. It's so good. And the cast is amazing. Joe Kinneman, Joel Kinneman's in it.

He's like in everything. Kier's Marshall is in it who is in, she's like the secret service agent that was dating the president in Paradise. Oh. So good. If you're into space stuff for all mankind on Apple TV is fantastic. I'll have to start it. I've never seen it.

Check it out. Very good. Well, speaking of Apple TV, did you happen to start? the show I told you about with Elizabeth Moss and Kate Mara. No. It's about a murder, right? Yeah, I want you to watch it. What's it called again?

Imperfect Women. That's it. Not getting great reviews. Really? Well, 5.5 stars. I love it. Follows the investigation that dives deep into the murder of a wealthy woman and all the dark secrets uncovered about her life.

Imperfect Women. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. guess not really a spoiler, but spoiler alert in this most recent episode. So this whole thing is that you find out right away in episode one that Kate Mara dies. She's murdered. I forget her name in the show. Nancy. Nancy, thank you. And so it, which is such a weird name for her. And so this whole thing is you're trying to figure out who killed her. And then there's been, there's been ever since episode one, we keep hearing the name David from different places of her having maybe an affair or some sort of relationship with a David.

And so far we've met like four fucking Davids. And it's crazy. Like at the end of this other episode, we met two. And I was just like, holy shit. Okay. So yeah, it's just, I don't know. I really like it. All right.

Joel Kahnemins in this. He must have an overall deal with Apple TV. For sure. I want one of them deals. Seriously. Speaking of Apple TV, I think you watched the first season, but your friends and neighbors. Did you ever watch that show? No.

Season two just dropped. I haven't started it yet. That's what we're going to start tonight. But Matt hasn't seen season one either. So I don't know. I have to go back and watch that one. I feel like you'd really like that show. Yeah.

I just didn't. That's the one with Don Draper, right? Yeah. And is it Olivia Munn? She's amazing in it. Yeah, I just think I feel like you'd really like that show. What's it on? Apple.

All right, all right. Yeah, it's good. We watched something last night that I was excited to watch, but was horrible. Oh, no. Wicked, too. Oh. I like the first one.

I like the first one. I feel like the second one was just like, I don't know, man. I was really disappointed. I felt like the acting wasn't super great. Oh, no. I know. I just feel like they kind of phoned in the second one. That's a bummer.

I was disappointed. Where did you see this at? At the house. Oh, wow. Just rented or something? Yeah. Oriana Grande is so good She's like

I feel like she's acting circles around everyone Which is surprising Because you would think that Cynthia Arrivo Would be kind of like doing that And then listen I love Michelle yo She's been in like everything But you can't no offense But you can't cast people

In a musical If you're not a good singer What are we doing? This is crazy I mean Jonathan Bailey is great In it's Really Jeff Goldblum is Jeff Goldblum

But anyways, it just didn't do it for me. And I'm really disappointed because I love the first one. The first one was really good. So much other, it made me read the books. But the book is so much different than the show, the play and the movie. But anyways, you don't need to watch Wicked, too, if you don't want to. Damn. But if you want to, it's on Peacock right now.

Well, speaking of Peacock, this show came out like a hot minute ago. And I kept wanting to start it. I think there was just so much else out that I got put on the back burner. But I watched episode one last night. It's called Ponies. Have you seen this show? No. And it's Amelia Clark is in it.

And what is the girl from White Lotus? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Haley Lou, yes. It's the two of them are the leads. It's pretty cute. I mean, it's a little cheesy. But I kind of like it. In 1970s Moscow, two secretaries at the American embassy

becomes CIA operatives after their husbands are killed uncovering a Cold War conspiracy behind the tragedy. Ponies, persons of no interest. That's funny. It's an acronym for that. Peacock, check it out. Yeah. Amelia Clark, Haley-Lew Richardson.

I feel like Amelia Clark is very picky about her projects. So I'm hoping that this ends up being good. You know, I would be shocked if it wasn't. How many episodes in are you? I just watched the first one. Oh, really? Yeah. All right.

Well, keep me posted on that. Yeah, we'll do. Did you finish Paradise? Yes. Holy shit. What did you think? What I think and what TikTok thinks are to total, like, I am on the side of TikTok with all these fucking crazy, people are getting crazy with the theories.

Okay, what do you mean? Okay, well, obviously it's kind of what we suspected, right, with this whole, like, it's not time travel. It's more about, I guess, like time dimensions, kind of like, what's our Blake Crouch? Yeah. Recursion. Dark matter. Dark matter, thank you.

So it's more of that concept than time travel. And I guess from what I understand, this AI that she's created or that they've created blends timelines and allows people from different timelines to come in. I guess that's what's triggering the nosebleeds. It's like when you come across someone from a different timeline that causes a nose bleed or whatever. So I'm totally down with all that. Where I start to where I start to get lost, where people lose me is people are taking this so far. are like obviously Link, aka Dylan, if he actually is Dylan, because some people don't think he is, but if he is Dylan and he is her son and he's from a different timeline, that I can get on board with.

But then people are being fucking crazy and saying shit like Annie's baby is actually Sinatra, which would be Dylan's mom. And I'm like that, that's too far for me. Like, I don't know about that. And then people are also saying Jane could be the baby in a different timeline, which I also just, I'm not really on board of it. I don't know. I think people are just maybe taking it a little too but what do you think? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I do think it's pretty obvious that the AI is blending different possible timelines together.

I think you're supposed to think that Link is Dylan, is Sinatra's son. It might be one of those things. The AI saw all the possible different outcomes. blending in this one was the one way to save everything because bringing her son back made her give everyone enough time to get out and then also telling what's his name about like the coordinates

because he's like you know Citizen X or whatever it's fun like next season's gonna be fun they've got to go you know a mile over to Denver underneath the freaking airport I'm fucking obsessed that they're using the Denver airport and the blue statue

like just love all that symbolism you know I saw where someone pointed out you know the whole thing about that blue horse statue is it killed the guy that made it before he was finished with it. Do you know about that? No, but that checks out. Yeah, it killed him. Like a piece of it fell off and killed him. And so everyone's, you know, saying like that symbolism of that it killed its creator and now this AI that Sinatra made is is going to like has killed its creator. Like do you think she's dead? Yes. Sanatra. Yeah. Yeah. So that's I mean, the mountain came down on her. Yeah. I know. But I guess like in another timeline is she live? I don't know.

But I am so excited about a Denver airport conspiracy angle on this show, like so pumped. Yeah. I mean, maybe the way that they bring Sinatra back is that she is the baby that was just born. Yeah, I don't know. Anyways, it's good. I'm excited for season three. It's great, yeah. For sure.

Really, really good. Yep. Okay, so I watched this documentary on HBO called Neighbors. It's amazing. Oh, I think what a Matt's friend said this was the best show he's ever seen. I mean, it's not, it's terrible, but it's great. Examines the stories of absurd, outrageous, and dramatic real-life residential conflicts

from a wide range of larger-than-life characters across the United States, opening a portal into the lives of contemporary Americans. Neighbors on HBO. So it's like, the first one is about this one guy who, like, keeps unlocking his gate and his neighbor who's got horses, like it stops the horses for me,

being able to go and graze or whatever. And they just hate each other. And they fucking talk shit and fight and all this stuff. But then like they have so much in common. They're all like they're both dorks. Like they both played Dungeons and Dragons. So they could be potentially could be great friends, but they can't get over. Anyways, it's just like all Cairns.

Everyone's a Karen against another Karen. There's just one documentary. So it's all real? Yeah. There's just one guy who like only, he, he likes to like, roller skate and run in just a speedo and he's like an old old man and everyone in the neighborhood's like you have you cannot wear this like there's kids around and he's like I can do whatever you know you technically can you know he's not naked anyways it is and he's crazy everyone's

crazy in this and it's fantastic is it set in just like one city or town or is it all across the board all across the board interesting you get a little slice of life from everywhere in the world of idiots. Love it. Fantastic. That's funny. And the last thing that I have to warn you about, send help with Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien.

Oh, I love Rachel McAdams. I mean, who doesn't, right? What's the tea, though? Okay, it was very confusing. So when we looked it up on Rotten Tomatoes, it said it had a 93. We're like, dang, this has got to be really, really good. Yeah. I don't know what's happening over there with their rating system.

This movie was so bad. Like it was like comically bad. And it was like, I think it was like trying to be this one thing, but it ended up being a different thing. And like when an employee and her insufferable boss becomes stranded on a desert island, the only survivors of a plane crash, they must overcome past grievances and work together to make it out alive, send help. So Rachel McAdams plays employee for this company. She's like really, really smart. She's like in accounting. Should be the one that gets the big promotion.

but she doesn't get it. The boss dies. The boss's son takes over and he hires like his like fraternity brother who's like only be on the company for like six months. Like definitely doesn't deserve it. Anyway, so she is like on a plane with them. They crash.

She's like a crazy person who like, not a crazy person, but she's like obsessed with the show Survivor. So she's like really good. She's like actually even made like a survivor pitch to the casting to like be on the show and you get to see it. Anyway, so she is like really,

really good at surviving. He's terrible because of course he's just. like a nepo baby with like white gloves on. It's like a role reversal of like he's the boss and now she's the boss and all this. Anyways, the premise seems so fun. Yeah, it does. It's like cheesy and like gruesome and like gory

for like no reason sometimes. And like I think they thought it was going to be like a funny Sean of the Dead situation. But it just like fell short. Anyways, I just don't know how it got a 93 on Rotten Tomatoes. I'm really sorry. Interesting. Real bad.

Okay. Well, I won't even give it a try then, I guess. No, I wouldn't. Unless it's free. Yeah. Okay. Bummer. I am still watching The Madison.

I already talked about it last week, but it's really good. I really love it. Oddly enough, I feel like it's really like a show for women. Okay. I just, I don't know. I should ask Matt if he's been enjoying it or not. But, you know, I mean, we talked about it last week. Spoiler alert, if you don't know and didn't know last.

week and skip ahead 30 seconds. But the two men die in episode one, the husband and his brother. It's really just a show of this widow and her two daughters and their daughter. Like, I don't know. To me, it just kind of seems like a show for women, which I fucking love. Michelle Piper is absolutely incredible in it, like, obsessed with her in this. So really good. If you guys haven't tried that.

And, you know, if you're someone that maybe doesn't love Taylor Sheridan's stuff, I would say give this one a try because it's very different. Okay. I need to start watching that. still get all that beautiful Montana scenery. You want to do some voicemails? Sure. We haven't done voicemails in a while.

All right. This one is called 56 Days. Guys, guys, guys, do I have a favorite thing for you? Okay, what's your name? Okay, so this is right now my favorite thing. It's a show on Amazon Prime called 56 Days. I don't think you guys have mentioned it yet. Okay.

And it is amazing. It's with Dove, Cameron, and, Halsey's husband. I forget his name, but it's so, so good. It literally has me keeping my phone down at night, which is what I base everything on, and it's just amazing. Give it a shout. It's awesome. After a chance supermarket encounter, Oliver and Sierra embark on an intense relationship. When a savagely murdered corpse surfaces 56 days later, the investigation delves into their turbulent love story, revealing grim secrets. 56 days on prime.

Everything is a murder these days. It does sound great. I'm going to try that one. It does sound actually really good. Thank you for the call. But tell us your name. Lady? This one's called Aliens Are Real.

Hey, Wells and Randy. So my favorite thing right now is that Obama casually went on a podcast and said, Yep, aliens are real. Yeah, I saw this. And then Trump was like, ooh, he's in trouble now for. predicting out the top secret tea, well, fuck you very much for sending me into a full conspiracy spiral. I'm literally one Google search away from completely losing my mind. Like, what even is this timeline that we're in?

Is that if everything just this stimulation, no way where the Nephilim fallen angels really real? And what's the deal with the human resonance? And how am I just now learning that we live inside a cosmic croissant called a heliosphere? Can we really meditate our way into the... I think your brain broke. What happened? The aliens got her. They got her.

The CIA came and got her. She was divulging too much. She knew too much. It's still going, by the way. I'm just waiting to see if this... She's just clapping? It sounds like aliens. Well, anyways, I agree with everything.

you just said there, it's scary. But here we are. I didn't know about the cosmic croissant. That was weird. Yeah, that was weird. Let's look that one up. Let's look up what the cosmic croissant is. The cosmic croissant refers to a 2020 scientific model depicting our

solar system's protective bubble, the heliosphere, as a crescent shaped or deflated croissant, rather than a long-tailed comet shape. This structure, created by solar winds and interstellar magnetic field, helps protect the earth from harmful galactic cosmic radiation.

Oh, yeah. Well, I knew that. That's why we don't die of radiation is because we've got magnetic poles that and that's why we can't go live on Mars because they don't have that anymore. Interesting. Any more?

They did before? I think so. But I think once they're at, what if we lose ours? We're fucked. We're fucked. All right. Heeded rivalry.

What is this one? I haven't seen this yet. Hey, guys. This is Christy from Charlotte. Long-time listener, love you guys. Love you. And I will say, one of my favorite things right now is heated rivalry. I do not believe you guys have not talked about heated rivalry.

So if you're in a television dry spell, give it a watch. It's six episodes, so good. It is about gay hockey players, but it is chef's kiss. And it has such a chokehold on me these days. I've watched it six times. All right, thanks. Bye. Two rival hockey stars at the top of their game

faced an unexpected challenge when they develop feelings for one another complicating their careers and their sports expect and the sports expectation. Heeded rivalry. I can't believe we haven't talked about this either actually. Well, I haven't watched it.

Have you watched it? Well, me neither, but it was all anyone was talking about there for a hot minute. I know, I know. Doesn't sound like your kind of show, though. It doesn't. But anyways, if you're American, you can watch it on HBO Max.

Disney, Hulu, and I guess if you're Canadian, you can watch on Crave. This one's called Traders Questions. Hi, guys, this is Amy from San Diego. Hey, Amy. First off, congrats, Brandy. So, so excited on your engagement. Yeah. Well, have questions for you about the Traders.

Okay. First off, I finally listened to your Traders podcast, and it's an episode that you weren't even on. Yeah, sorry. Boo. Okay. So, you know, like, when a player gets killed? Yeah. So, like, the traders are up, like, in the turret, like, debating it for a bit.

And then you see, like, the traitor, or mean, but you see the faithful that's going to get killed, like, get the envelope and stuff like that. And it looks like they're in the castle and they're in their outfit from the day. But, like, the traders have been debating this for, I don't know, half an hour, hour, two hours. But aren't they all, like, sent back to, like, the hotel and, like, start to change for bed and stuff like that? So what do they do with, like, the person who gets killed? Do they tell them like, okay, go get dressed, go breathe, get glammed up if it's like a girl? Or do they like wait to do it like the next day? Or I know you well got banished that you might not know, but I figured you do know the details.

And then also how, I'm just curious, how far away is the hotel that y'all actually stay at? And then are y'all, when you all are brought in in the morning, you know, brought in individual like see your clothes in and like say midnight, since like that part's not being filmed so that y'all can't like talk. I'm just very curious about all the behind the scenes and I figured other YFPS are too. Okay, love you guys. Thanks. Bye. Okay.

A lot of good questions. Mm-hmm. I have all the answers for you. Great. When the faithful discovers the envelope on the chair, that's not the same night. They're usually in their clothes for their next day. You have to do interviews kind of before you start filming

before you go into the breakfast area. It's just like someone that was like, okay, it's time for your interview. And then you go in there. and then you do the interview, but you find the envelope on the chair. So that's how it is. It's the day beforehand,

or it's the day afterwards. The hotel's like 45 minutes away, but it's really weird. When you leave, you go home alone. You go in different times. You never see who's leaving and going, all the steps you can't clock that like so-and-so stayed behind

because they're obviously a trader, but everyone leaves, and then I think they bring the traders back. When you come back to the castle, you ride in a group of like four people that like kind of like you're always riding with. Anyways, good questions. This one's called Lightning 100 shout out. Got to love this one.

Andy, this is Sarah Fina from Cincinnati, Ohio. But I am an OG, your favorite names listener, from the days when you all very first started and Wells was still living in Nashville and was on Lightning 100. I've been listening since the beginning. So I'm big fan of both of you. Brandy congratulations on the engagement. Okay, I have a favorite thing, and I tried to research slash look back. If you all talked about this show before, because it's not a new show, but it's a new favorite thing to me.

The show was originally made for stars, but is now on Netflix. It's called Black Sales. Oh, yeah. And I guess it's supposed to be sort of a prequel to Treasure Island, which I am not familiar with. I'm sure I probably had to read it in high school, but high school was, over 20 years ago for me, so I don't remember. Anyway, it is like Game of Thrones

adjacent as far as, like, kind of gritty, lots of sex, lots of boobs, lots of violence and sort of gore, but really intense, great drama, great acting, a really good watch, like really sucks you in.

I think there's four seasons of it. It's one of the few shows that my husband and I can watch together because we both equally enjoy it. So, I immediately thought of you, Brandy, because I know it could be hard to find. It shows that you and that will enjoy together. But this one, if you haven't seen it, I fully think would get you both sucked in. You'd both love it for different reasons.

Just a really good show. So highly recommend, and if you talked about it way back when, it's worth bringing up again because people should be watching it. It's phenomenal. Love you both. Bye. Did you watch this? Yes, and we did talk about it.

I watched like a couple episodes and was like, yes, it's very good. and it's like, you know, very Pirates of the Caribbean-esque, but a little grittier and a little bit better, or like more dramatic, I guess. Captain Flint and his pirates hunt treasure and fight for the survival of New Providence Island. Black sales on Netflix and stars. Michael Bay produced it.

Yeah. All right, let's do one more. This one says timestamps, please. So I feel like this is a criticism of our show, and I love that. Oh, great. Hi, Weldon Brandy. I was wondering if you could be ever so kind and include timestamps in the descriptions for your podcast episodes because sometimes there are shows that some of us don't have access to if we don't have the platform like Apple TV that we would want to skip through or in case we don't want something spoiled, then it would be a lot easier to skip through them.

Anyway, love your reviews. Thank you. Bye. All right. I don't know how to do that. I feel like a producer needs to be able to do that. I don't know how to do that thing. We're in charge of those.

No, but it sounds that's a good idea. It is a great idea. I don't hate it. No. But I don't know how to do it. Same, but we'll pass it along. Yeah, we'll send that note. Yep.

All right, if you guys want to call the number is 858-630-1856. Again, 858-630-1856. Send us what you're digging on, and we will play it on this show. Love it. coming up for you, dude. Oh, I'm going to Hawaii on Sunday. Fuck, I'm going on Friday. Where are you going? Maui. I've never been. Oh, nice. I've only ever been to Hawaii. The bummer is Maui has been having some bad weather. I hate that for them. Looks like a lot of flooding. So I don't know that the weather's going to be great, if I'm honest. But I'm trying to stay positive,

and I love seeing a new place. And I'm hoping that even if it's not the best weather for like the beach, maybe there's some good hikes we can go on and stuff like that. So if any of the Y of Tiers have been to Maui and have any recommendations for things outside of like going to the beach, I would really appreciate that. Have you been to Maui Wells? I don't think so. No, wow. Okay.

Yeah, I've only done Kauai. So I'm excited about that. I'm going to do a corporate event for my friends at T-Mobile. We're going to stay like three extra days, I think. Honestly, like, you know, obviously Matt can't leave the country. So any opportunity to go on a trip that's within the USA that he can actually go on, we try to make like a trip out of it, you know, because he can't really do that. We're doing that. And yeah, I guess I'll talk to you guys from Maui next week.

Very fun. I'm jealous. You got to find out if they got chickens over there. I will definitely let you know. Something tells me they do. I think they got chickens. I don't know. We'll see.

Yeah, they got chickens everywhere over there in Hawaii. For sure. Yeah. What are you doing? Um, I don't even know. I have no idea. I'm home. I'm here at home for a little bit for the next couple weeks. And then... That's nice. Yeah. I might have a new project to go work on actually at the end of the month. That might be exciting. Really? Yeah. But I... You got a job? I might have got a job. Oh, my love. I know. We shall see, though, if not, then it's okay. I'll stay home and spend time with my beautiful bride who's finally back. And I'm working on getting in shape.

You know? Me too. Was it Pilates this morning? Did you? Yep. Well, well, so you leave on Friday? Yeah, we're going to do the show where you're in Hawaii? Yeah.

Dang. And how long are you there for? Until Wednesday. Nice. Yep, yep. Well, I'm jealous. Have fun over there. Thanks.

I'm excited. All right, we have tears. We love you. Yeah, we love you guys. Send those Hawaii wrecks. Yeah, send them. Okay, bye. Bye.

Thank you.
