Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - How much does Tyler Cameron cost?

Episode Date: September 21, 2022

Voice shot, eye pink, body tired: can’t lose. This week Wells is a shell of a man as he joins Brand-eye on the pod to discuss his old age and her sexy thirst trap. He takes us through a way too vivid story of how he got said pink eye, and Brandi chats a bit about her DJ gigs and her signature songs. (Spoiler alert, she keeps it in the fam.) Your hosts chat Bachelorette, and conclude that sometimes you need to know something won’t work so you don’t try it again. Brandi also suggests the show implement some personal reference requirements for AT LEAST SOME of the guys each season. Give them one good guy, people. Oh, and we’re not sure how much Tyler Cameron costs, but ABC should get that done too. Wells has discovered something very exciting about the new iOS update that he shares with us all, and your hosts finish off the show with some faves, least faves, a special ad read, and some voicemails from the YFTers.

I'll tell you all about why my eye is fucked up here in a second. It's a great grand story. There'll be laughs, there'll be tears.

You'll love everything. How's everyone doing? Better than me, I hope. Okay, great. Good. Let's see what the brand's up to. Dude, she posted a thirst trap. Was it like a couple days ago? Dress that was showing side boob and under boob. Brand eye.

That means there's a boy, I think. I think that means there's a boy and that she's trying to dangle the carrot for his carrot, if you will. Let's see what she's up to. Hello? Hello. I can't see you. Oh, that's because that's on. You scared someone spying on you? That's right. You scared someone spying on you? That's right.

Are you? No, but it's a camera that like little thing turns down. So might as well. Yeah, because you think people are spying on you. Yeah, because what if I'm over here watching some Pornhub, cranking one out, and someone somehow hacks in and there's video of me just badgering the witness. You do that? Whacking some pud, feeding the pigeons, you know? You do that at that chair? No, actually, I do not.

No. Ew, what are you drinking? Ew. No, this is maca tea. Not an ad, but so good. I talked about it before. It's like wheatgrass and caffeine. I think it's good for me.

I don't know. It looks like absolute garbage. Well, it's delicious. It is absolutely delicious. You should try it. I'm serious. That's fascinating. It looks like someone puked into that glass and you're drinking it.

Yeah, but it's wheatgrass, so it's green. Nasty. And listen, I need all the things that can help my body out that there are in the world because my body is falling apart. Let me tell you something. I got a sore throat. Don't know why. Allergies.

I don't have a stuffed nose. The seasons are a changing. I'm not sick. I just have a sore throat. I guess I'm glad there aren't other things, but, like, at least throw me some, like, stuffed up nose or, like, a cough. No, no, no. It's just a sore throat, which is very confusing. So you would rather be sicker.

I just don't know what this is. It's allergies. But I don't have allergies. I think you probably do. I just don't know. I just think that my body is revolting against itself. I don't know. And then the other thing,

you can't tell, but your boy's got pink eye right now. I can tell. Can you? A little bit. Yeah. Yeah. You're not the pink now. I can tell. Can you? A little bit. Yeah. Yeah. You got the pink eye.

I was thinking you were just maybe a little sleepy or something. This one. So what, you like wiped your ass and touched your eye or what? Yeah. I mean, we all learned that from Knocked Up. Yeah. That you get it by getting fecal matter in your ocular duct. Yeah.

So how do you feel about that? I know exactly how I got it, by the way. Oh, I can't wait for this. Like 100% know exactly how I got fecal matter in my eye socket. I know the moment it happened, when it happened, I thought to myself, well, that's pink eye. No way. 100%. Okay, come along with me, YFTers, on a journey of pink eye.

So for some reason, i have been tasked with the picking up of the dog shit and getting rid of it and all this like that's my job somehow like i thought that that would be a tag team effort but no no no no sarah does not does not do that so we have a trash can on the side of the house right and so i go poop a scoop and then i fill up the trash can with the poop and then after like three weeks it's just full of shit right that's disgusting why do you wait three weeks well what i don't know how long it just depends three weeks just baking in that california sun the smell over there good if you try to rob us from that side of the house good luck guy so anyway so then i go get the trash can that we put out on the side of the road, and I wheel it over there because the bag is too heavy for me to carry over two gigantic dogs.

Which, by the way, Sarah wants to get another dog, and I'm like, no. What's one more? It's 15 more pounds of shit I got to fucking deal with. So I have to go get the trash can that we put on the side of the road and I had to wheel it over to the side of the house and then I got them next to each other and then I got to lift it up, you know, and like, it's like the worst Santa sack ever.

I throw it over, get it in there. And then, you know, then I had to put a new bag in the trash can on the side of the house. And so we have the extra trash bags like kind of on the bottom of the trash barrel, you know, and then you just pull the new one out. Well, little did I know that there was a hole in the old one, which was dripping like shit fecal matter all over the new bags. Right.

So I get the bag, a new one out. And, you know, you have to do that thing where you go whoosh you know you have to whip it and fill it up with air you know so I do that whip it out right and a mist of shit particles fills the air and

descends down upon me snows down upon me as if it were a winter eve all over my body and face and ocular cavity. And when it happened, I was like, oh, that's the noise I made. And in my mind, I go, that's pink eye right there, 100%. And then I was like, got to go take a shower now because I got fecal mist all over me. I went to the shower, did nothing apparently. And then that happened, I guess, three days ago. Two days ago, we went

to a wedding. And I was at the wedding, and I was like, my eye is, like, got some goop in it. I don't know what's going on. You know, like, I got the goopy. I got the goop eye. And I was like, maybe I just got something in there, you know, or whatever. And then I woke up. Then we went to bed. And then I woke up in the middle of the night, and I got the crust.

Just a thick crust over the eye i'm like i can't see out of this thing i need an eye patch you know i got to go to the minute clinic go to the minute clinic first of all i'm so they're like hey what are you here for i say i got pink eye like how do you know it's like oh i've had it before and fucking i walk through a shit mist so pretty sure that's what it is so they all right, well, we'll be with you in a second or whatever. So then the nurse comes. She weighs me. She takes my blood pressure.

Let me tell you something. I'm not here to feel already shittier about my body and about my life right now. You know, I don't need to know that my blood pressure is high and I don't need to know that I'm about five pounds overweight. All right. What I need you to do is I need you to give me the eye drops to get rid of the pink guy. OK, it's about to go on my honeymoon and there's nothing sexier than pink guy. Well, it's so contagious. So contagious. Can't get close to my wife.

I'm surprised she's sleeping in the same bed as you. Hundred percent. She keeps on trying to give me hugs. Like, no, I got the pink guy. Went over to our next door neighbors the other day and they're like, just come over. I got a pink guy and they just come over. And I'm like, no, I was very contagious. the other day and they're like just come over i'll say i got a pink eye and they'll just come over and i'm like no i was very contagious so i sat like 20 feet away from everyone else that was in like having like a great time i'm like what's that what was that joke oh good joke i'm be over here fucking i'm like a leper over here yeah sucks well damn so i got sore throat don't know why got the pink eye do know why okay and about to a, you know, a very long flight to the tropical locales for my honeymoon.

And like everything's just falling apart. I was like, maybe I got COVID. You know, like maybe this is, I finally got it. Uh-huh. No. No. Don't got it. Just breaking down.

How you doing? I'm okay. Yeah. Yeah. I saw that you posted a thirst trap recently. Did I? Kinda. Was it a thirst trap?

Kinda, because it was a picture of you in Vegas, I guess, with a dress that was showing not only side boob, middle boob, and under boob. There was a lot of boob to be shown. That was Miami. Oh, it was Miami. Of course. I was trying to advertise for my Vegas show this weekend. Yeah. boob there was a lot of boob to be shown that was miami oh it was miami of course i was uh i was trying to like advertise for my vegas show this weekend yeah because the club has sent me no promo assets which i'm upset about i'm not packing a whole lot you know like itty bitty titty committee

i'm right you know i know sarah's in that club too i'm like in the club it's like great club you know you think wearing something like that like no one's really gonna give a shit because you don't have any tits oh Oh, people love it no matter what. Oh, yeah. The people, the people love it. Guys love all sides of the boob. Top boob. Yeah.

Under boob. Side boob. I guess so. Boob boob. Nip boob. If you show them any part of the boob. They're down. Double tap.

Yeah, I guess so. So like that party, that was in Miami like what, two weekends ago. And that party was hosted by Maxim Magazine, you know yeah super sexy right like so i was thinking it was gonna be like a sexy pool party and like i don't really dress that sexy to tell you the truth dress like a boy you know it's kind of my thing but i was like fuck it's like maxim i gotta i gotta try to be sexy here i gotta do something i gotta like I got to like bring something, you know, to this party. And so I got that dress and it was a big hit. I got to say big hit. And that dress only cost me like 40 bucks on sale. Really? Yeah. Oh, that's nice. A little sale action. A little sale action. I love a sale. Well, you look good. Was it a good show? Is Vegas this week? Vegas, yes. This

Saturday I am playing. So it's iHeart Weekend. iHeart Festival is going on this weekend, which is super cool. And I'll be playing at Daylight Beach Club. I believe that's at Mandalay Bay. Yeah. Sounds right. I don't have a time yet, but it'll be like afternoon probably. I would say around like three-ish.

So if you find yourself in Vegas this Saturday and want to come to a pool party, I'll be, you know, throwing down the hits. Do you play requests? No. No. But people come and ask you and you're like, yeah, throwing down the hits. Do you play requests? No. No. But people come and ask you and you're like, yeah, yeah, sure.

And then you don't do it. It kind of depends on the thing. People don't do it a lot at day clubs or night clubs. Okay. But like private events, people love to think they can make requests.

I'm like, no, you cannot. What if they make a request that you're going to play? Then do you like bump it up in the list? If I'm feeling it, yeah. Or if it's a cute boy. I mean, yeah.

Or like sometimes people will be like, can you play Dua Lipa? Which is fine because, you know, if I get to at least pick the song, that makes me feel like I still have some power. But it's fine. It's just annoying when people make requests. You're like, listen, let me do what they're paying me to do. Let me play the music I know is great and you're going to have great time yeah i know what i'm doing guys yeah yeah i do you know how like blake's signature song is let it go from the disney movie frozen well do you have a signature song he's gonna kill us because we're the reason that's his signature song well i mean

everyone's gonna have a signature i suppose everyone's gotta you know got to have a signature, I suppose. Everyone's got to. You know, do you got one? A signature song. I mean, listen. It's got to be a Miley song, right? No shame in my like family game. I always usually start my sets with Party in the USA and I end it with a really sick remix of Old Town Road. Okay.

So I feel like those are probably mine. I also have a section usually in all my sets where I like to do like an ode to the early 2000s, you know, where I'll play like Ludacris, Fergie, Kesha, just like some really sick like throwback remixes and stuff. And it's really, really fun. Snoop Dogg, you know. Yeah. All the classics. I love that.

It's fun. Have you done like a full on Gen Z show yet? Everyone was very young. I don't think so. Because most of the places I play are 21 and up. Yeah, that's a thing. That's a good thing. In the next five years, though, like your your like millennium set that you do is going to have to go away.

I know. Because they're going to be like, we're not we don't know who 50 Cent is. We don't know who Luda is. Who's Lil Jon? They're going to be like, can can you play that that white t-shirt Billie Eilish song from TikTok? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's going to be the request. Can you play that oldie from Harry Styles' first band, One Direction, please?

That's when you go, I'm going to go kill myself now. And that's when I retire. And that's when it's over. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, we when I retire. And that's when it's over. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, we can't retire. Should we start the show?

Oh, yeah. We should start. Is it you or me? I think it's me. Go for it. Bros and hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with? Well, I am Brandy coming at you live. Not really, actually.

That's ShipStation.com. Code YOURFAVORITETHING. Do it. Listen, we're going to start with my favorite thing right now. And that is my new show, Best in Doe, is out now on Hulu. At least the first three episodes are. I saw that this morning. Yep.

Very proud of it. I'm very critical of my work always. I find no faults in this show. I think it's so fun. It's funny. It's easy to watch. It's not like we're not going to solve world problems or anything like that, but it's not mean-spirited. It's just people making pizza and a bunch of people eating it and enjoying it. And my only warning is it's going to make you want to eat pizza, which is a good or bad thing, depending upon your current blood sugar situation. I watched the first two episodes this morning. The first episode, the first, well, they're only 30 minutes long. It's not going to

like, oh, okay. Yeah. It's easy. The first episode, we have three grandmas from Italy, nonas from Italy, and they're the fucking funniest people I've ever seen in my entire life. There's this one grandma named Nonalina who doesn't listen to any of us. I'm like, you have to make this weird cupcake pizza, and she goes, no, I'm not making that. And we're like, no, you have to make it.

And she's like, no, I'm going to make what I want to make. And we're like, all right, never mind. Constantly are threatening to slap us. They're just the most amazing old grandmas and their pizza was so good. And then I was watching episode two, which is like pizza influencers, which is like a total thing, you know,

like TikTokers and Instagram people who like go on pizza tours and like make pizza and all that stuff, you know? That's crazy. It's absolutely crazy. And so they're really funny because they're super competitive and obviously like very comfortable with cameras around because they're influencers, you know?

So yeah, anyways, watch the first three episodes on Hulu. Even if like, here's my thing. I really don't give a shit if you watch the show. All I give a shit about is that you turn it on and then you can walk away. I don't care. Turn it on. Go on a walk. Do whatever you want.

I really do think that you're going to like it. I'm going to watch it. Watch it. Watch it. I'm going to. Yeah. But yeah, it's on Hulu. It's called Best in Doe. It's hosted by yours truly. If you

like are having a hard time finding it, which you shouldn't, but if you are. It pops right up. Yeah. I looked this morning. On Hulu? Yeah, on the Hulu app. I pulled her up. Yeah. So it's three episodes are out now and then what? One comes out a week? No, then three episodes next week. Oh. And then four episodes on out a week no then three episodes next week oh and then four

episodes on the final week oh interesting schedule that's what and that's kind of what they're going with now like because we were with um we went to uh we were hanging out with steve levitan who was the was one of the creators of modern family he's got a new show out on hulu called reboot with keegan michael key and paul reiser it looks awesome and it's always like i was like what is your release schedule and it was like well it's kind of weird we're doing two and you know the first week is two episodes and then you know it's so that's i think this is the new model instead of like letting people binge everything all at once they're like we need to kind of stretch this out a little bit. You know? Yeah. Alright. But yeah,

best in dough. It's fun. Just go, we use watch one episode and then just tell me what you think. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And also Wive Tears, please go watch it. I really need a season two, you know?

This is going to be an expensive year. Let's be fair. Expensive year? I mean, I gotta pay for all this, this is going to be an expensive year. Let's be fair. Expensive year. I mean, I got to pay for all this pink eye meds. Ew. So much pink eye meds. We didn't talk Bachelor at last week because we recorded before it happened. We can still talk about last week. Yeah.

Which. Everyone hated it. I don't know if i needed a live watch party for that no we didn't we didn't need it i don't even know why we thought we did no like the fact that this is stretched out over two weeks is so stupid well i have a theory on it you want to hear my theory love to well the show effectively is over, right? Like there's only one guy left for both of them. And that wasn't supposed to be the case.

Like they were supposed to be, you know, like they're like the women's hometown and all that kind of stuff. You know, the meeting of Neil Lane and all that kind of setting the stakes for multiple guys deciding if they're going to be engaged. A lot of those acts are gone because the show went the way it did. So I wonder if they're like, we have to do 20 episodes or however many it is. We only got 18. We got to stretch it out somehow. We'll do a live show. Yeah, maybe.

I don't know. I can see it. I will say that the Avon. Avon. That was the weirdest breakup ever. Yeah. She's like smiling at the end.'t know. I can see it. I will say that the Aven. Aven. That was the weirdest breakup ever. Yeah. She's like smiling at the end. I know.

It's I saw a lot of people post about that. Oh, really? I didn't know. I mean, I just thought that was like that was an odd thing of like she was mad at him like the week before because he was like, I don't know. I want to get engaged. And then they break up and she was like happy, you know? Yeah, it was really weird because the actual breakup i mean she cried a lot she was absolutely hysterical which kind of made

me think that she was gonna pick him really yeah even though i think like i don't know she's got this weird thing with tino that i just don't understand that no one understands yeah um but she just was a lot more upset about the Avon breakup than I thought she would be. But then you're right. Then she was like smiling after. So it was just odd. Yeah, it was Zach who last week was like, you know, when the cameras are off, like things are a little different.

Uh huh. And I wonder if we got like a glimpse of that in that moment when she was like kind of giddy and happy and like kind of like bouncing off after she got dumped or dumped him i don't even know who did what there i'm confused i agree i think like just my whole take on like both of these girls on this season is and every and i'm you know this is not breaking news like everyone's saying this online too it's like these girls are chasing a ring and an engagement more than they're chasing an actual connection with somebody. It's like that's all they fucking care about. And I get it. That's the show. Whatever. But it just is

not coming off great to me. They're just not doing a good job of I don't know. Well, one should precede the other. If you find yourself a genuine, honest, amazing connection, you will want to get engaged. One, because what a great ending to a story that honest, amazing connection. You will want to get engaged.

One, because what a great ending to a story that you get to have. You get to have your entire love story be on iTunes for the rest of your life. Your grandchildren can all watch this. So if you truly do find that connection, you want to get there because what an amazing ending to a story.

You also get a free ring out of the deal. There are some perks to wanting. No, for sure. But I understand what you're saying. It's like cart before the horse thing. They're more interested in the end. They're more interested in the destination than they are in the journey. Yes.

Like Rachel's friends straight up tell, is it Avon? Rachel's leaving here engaged. Yeah. Like she's not leaving without a ring on her you know what I mean like even her friends knew that they were like she's leaving here engaged and that's that like that's all they care about I feel yeah it's funny too I'm trying to think of like the successful relationships that we've had from the show uh like Clayton didn't leave engaged and they're still together right and then like Ari and got engaged the wrong person and he's still with,

you know, Lauren, like, so I, yeah, I don't know. I think that maybe the mission statement needs to change a little bit. You don't have to get engaged at the end.

You should want to just because there are some great perks that come with it, you know, for sure. But I think, I think it's too much pressure. Yeah. Especially on the guys.

And I'm sorry, like the times are changing. Yeah. you know for sure but i think i think it's too much pressure yeah especially on the guys and i'm sorry like the times are changing yeah i think the bachelor and bachelorette need to kind of change with it and stop like making especially the women feel like they're failures if they don't if no one proposes because that's not the way it should be true and yeah we're all getting married later i mean shit i'm almost 40 years old. I just got married. Yeah. And I feel like, and I feel like

it was the perfect time for me to do it, you know? And all these kids are 25, you know, 26, 27. Yeah.

I think that that's why Paradise is the most successful is because, Yeah, it's like, you guys can leave together if you want, you know?

And a lot of people do and they're successful relationships and then there are some people who are like no i want i want the love story and they're like all right let's wheel in fucking neil lane real quick yeah and you know you get to have that cool moment on the beach at the end totally maybe the way you do it is like jesse kind of opens up the show with the lead and be like listen all we want for you is happiness like great if you get engaged but we just want you to like find your person take all of that pressure off of like you assuming that you're a failure if you don't get engaged or like you're unlovable or whatever because that's not the case if it's supposed to be a microcosm of real life then yeah 25 year old are going to be a little apprehensive to get engaged.

Yeah. Also, I think there need to be some changes in the casting process because all these men are garbage that are like breaking up with girls to go on the show. I'm talking about Eric now, you know, all this stuff has come out about his ex, like revealing text messages where he literally like tells her he's just going on the show so he can do something different with his life and like wants to stay with her and all this. Have you seen all this? I don't know. It's like the same.

We've heard this story so many times. Like, all right, casting. Can we get references for these dudes from here on out? I need a solid three references for each guy. I need three women to come forward and say, I'm friends with this guy, and he's a good dude. That's what I need. Background checks are pretty rigorous, but it's more like checking if you've like committed a crime or like been to a mental institution. I know, but can you imagine like,

you know, if it, so the way it works is they have a giant pool and then at the end, like you fly out to LA with like a hundred dudes, I think is what I, what I did. And then they, end, like you fly out to L.A. with like 100 dudes, I think is what I what I did. And then they or maybe it was 50 dudes and then they cut that down to 25. And then that's a 25 that end up going on the show. So can you imagine trying to get references from three different girlfriends from 50 dudes? Fine, two, two girls. Not. Yeah. Like we need some references. I'm sorry, we do.

Fine. Pick your 50 guys. Sure, they have 50 guys, but you know that they've got like a top 10 at least of like, we know these 10 are going. Yeah. Vet the top 10. Make sure there's at least 10 decent guys going on the show. I know. Gone are the days of guys like me who I asked three of my exes

if it was okay if I went on their show. Yeah, that's long gone. Why did I do that? Why did you do that? Because for that exact reason, I was terrified if one of them would be like, fuck you. I think that the experiment of two bachelorettes, I'm glad it was done because sometimes you need to know something doesn't work so you won't try it again that's true and i don't think it works no it does not it's just too fragmented the attention span of

the normal human right now is is about 15 seconds that's how long our instagram stories are so but now you're like okay we're gonna have a two- hour episode and you need to focus on not one but two relationships. I honestly think we're too stupid for it. We can't keep it together. Yeah. What do you think about because everyone's now saying that Zach's going to be the bachelor? I would love that. I love Zach.

He's very young. But other than that, I think he's great. He just seems so dull. Oh, I think he's sweet. And like you say, it doesn't matter who the lead is. It's the girls that make the TV show. No, but it's like watching paint dry with that guy. I don't know. I don't think he's that bad. I think he's a better choice than some of the others. I think this TV show, I feel like

I've seen Zach grow in the sense of like being comfortable speaking his feelings and and like like in the beginning of the season he didn't really say a whole lot and wasn't very descriptive with like talking about how he feels but as it's gone on I think like being put in the situation there at the end with fantasy suites like he was able to really like speak his mind and speak his feelings. And I think that helped him like grow. And I actually think that he's going to go in if he is the bachelor. I think he's going to go into it being prepped really well. It sucks that he had to get through all that.

But like, I think it prepped him well to be the bachelor and have to like have hard conversations and talk about hard things and things that are uncomfortable. You know, do you think he's hot enough and interesting enough and dynamic enough to warrant 30 beautiful women vying for him? I mean, the thing is, none of these dudes are that hot. They're all pretty average. And I think this is the problem that we've been running into with the show. Because you have to do something to the audience. You have to convince the audience that this is justifiable, that this is happening. JoJo is a good example.

She was gorgeous, yeah interesting fun funny you know and it was like i i remember one i was there and i experienced it but i remember watching it back being like yeah this makes sense that like all these guys would be like going crazy for this for this woman i'm asking you as a woman like is zach that guy that like everyone's like fuck i would do anything to date that guy no but i i mean think of the last several bachelors like to me they're all just kind of average like good they seem a good dude sweet guys but like pretty average i don't know i just my thing is i don't know how much tyler cameron costs but get it done but get it Cameron costs, but get it done. But get it done. Whatever it costs, get it done.

Because I think that America would be like, yep, okay, got it. Oh, for sure. 100%. But Tyler Cameron does not need The Bachelor. He does not need to be The Bachelor. He's doing just fine. Is he, though? Yeah.

What is he doing? I don't know, but he seems just fine. Okay, well. Although I did see him on Raya a few weeks ago, but he does seem just fine. Yeah. Listen, it needs to be something like someone like that where you're like yeah or remember remember peter from a couple seasons ago everyone's talking about peter right now the guy who have kind of gray hair yeah uh-huh everyone's talking everyone's saying they wish he was the bachelor

so i'm like are they talking to i see i saw becca becca tilly say that i saw caitlin bristow just had him on her podcast i'm like like, are they talking to Peter Cross about being The Bachelor? Maybe. I'm here for it. I met him. He's a super nice guy. Very nice.

I've also seen him on Raya recently, so I know he's single. I love it. Who else has been on Raya? They say, you know, you say you're single if you're on Raya. Let's be honest,

everyone's garbage and half those people are probably dating other people, but yeah. It's true. All right. Is that enough Bachelor talk? I think so, yeah.

I think so, too. Paradise is coming out next week. That's exciting. It'll be fun. people but yeah it's true all right is that enough uh bachelor talk i think so i think so too paradise is coming out next week and that's exciting it'll be fun i think it'll be a return to some normalcy for a lot of bachelor nation to be like ah here we are again back in sayulita with the stupid shit that's happening and the hot people running around in bathing suits and black boxes and all that stuff so yeah and i know because went there, the season's successful. I'm excited. People get together.

Love that. Love that a lot. Yeah. Well, you got some favorite things, bro, or what? I think so, bro. Yeah. Are you caught up on House of the Dragon? No, I haven't watched this last episode.

You're killing me. We're recording this on Monday. It came out last night. Yeah. Yeah, I watched it last night. Yeah. All right. Fair enough. I was like waiting Sundaysays i just wait around all day just

waiting for it to come out yeah i love it yeah yeah okay so here's what i didn't know and i'm upset i'm upset because now i'm attached so these young girls that play young allison and young raniera yeah this is their last episode yeah they're good yeah they're gonna time jump i know that oh i'm devastated well they can always go back yeah i don't know if they will not this season i don't think yeah i don't know so crazy so anyway that was like a bomb dropped on me now that i talk about house of house of the dragon so much my phone's listening to me and my facebook ads just all they are are these like articles about the show so i've been seeing later it's like borderline spoilers i'm like can you not facebook you know do you want to hear what i heard don't ruin anything no i this isn't about this show so i heard that there's a rumor because they're going to make more game

of thrones right like uh-huh this this is pre you know the original series and then they're going to do a post uh original series and i heard they were thinking about bringing Khaleesi back. And when Khaleesi gets stabbed and dies, the dragon, you know, flies off with her. And the theory is the dragon takes her to the Red Witch, who can, you know, bring people back to life. Right. Interesting. I saw, and I don't know, I didn't fact check it,

but I saw something pop up that said they're doing a whole series just based on Jon Snow. Yeah, I could see that. That Kit Harington is currently filming is what it said. Yeah. They've got so much TV they can make with this. Like once you, once you build the world, you can just do any, you know, you can just do anything. It's like Marvel almost. Exactly. I wish you had seen last night's episode because I'm like a little confused. build the world you can just do any you know you can just do anything marvel almost exactly i wish you had seen last night's episode because i'm i'm like a little confused okay but i guess i can't talk about i don't want to ruin it for you okay um i don't really care you can talk about it but

you don't you're not gonna like know what to say because you haven't seen it as a thing so we might wait till next week but um but my my my boy my hottie hottie Sir Kristen or Kristoff or whatever the hell his name is, does something fucking crazy. And I'm confused by it. I just like don't – I mean I understand he's upset because Rhaenyra is having to marry some other guy. And he like really ballsy, man. He like approaches her and he's like, let's run away together. And he has this whole plan. And I think like you can see in his precious eyes that he actually thinks that there's a chance she's going to say, OK, yeah, I'm going to give up the crown and run away with you, which is just, you know, so naive of him. Obviously, she's not going

to give up her her throne, but he's upset and he does something at this wedding. And I'm just like, damn, like, really? We needed to do that. Like, I didn't know we were that unhinged, you know? It's pretty crazy. So I'm going to wait for you to watch it. And maybe't know we were that unhinged you know it's pretty crazy so i'm gonna wait for you to watch it and maybe next week we can have a little chit chat about it all right i mean love makes you do crazy things i mean it's pretty but like it's crazy and there's also like nothing to gain from it like i just don't get it yeah you watch it you let me know but i'm a little it happened and i was like what the fuck what well i? Well, I do love that show. And, you know, I was wrong. And I will admit when I'm wrong.

Because I was originally saying that I didn't like House of the Dragon. And I did like the Lord of the Rings more. And I feel like that's flip-flopping now for me. Ooh. Yeah. Okay. So I still do like Lord of the Rings. I think that, unfortunately, Prime is handcuffed by a lot of legalities.

That they can't, like't do really cool storylines. They don't own the rights to the Simularian or whatever. But Game of Thrones is just so great. So great. Game of Thrones is like $30 million an episode to make. That's fucking crazy. And the Lord of the Rings is the new leader of the clubhouse, like $55 million an episode. You're joking.

No. Where does that money come from? Jeff Bezos. Yeah, I don't get it. I have a favorite iPhone hack for you all out there right now. Did you get the new phone? No, I didn't. Did you?

I did. Yeah, I don't know. Is it great? I got the purple one. It's purple, so that's all I really care about. It's purple. Your aura is purple. The camera lenses on the back are gigantic.

They're way bigger. Are you getting great pics out of it? I mean, I haven't really had time to mess with it. The new home screen situation where you can customize and personalize your home screen is pretty great. It's pretty cool. You can customize all the stuff. You probably can't see it, but it has my calendar on the left side. I always see what I have coming up that day. And then i have the weather on the right side because i always have to keep

track of the weather because of the horses but you can personalize it with like other things and there's obviously a lot more you can do that i haven't learned yet because you've got to watch fucking tiktok tutorials these days to learn these days to learn anything so tbd on what else but overall like i'm thrilled with the upgrade okay well back Well, back to my iPhone app. Okay. Okay. So, you know, when you take a screenshot and you can like draw on the, the picture, you know? Yeah.

And then you hold it down so that it perfects it. Oh, you knew about this. I learned about it. Dude. Same with me. Okay. So everyone out there right now,

take a screenshot. And then, you know, when you draw like a circle and it's looks like fucking like a three year old with a crayon, drew it. If you draw the circle and then you know how when you draw like a circle, and it looks like fucking like a three-year-old with a crayon drew it? If you draw the circle, and then you just hold your finger down on like at the end of the circle, it makes a perfect circle. And then same for like arrows. You can draw an arrow, and then it'll make a perfect arrow or like a box, any shape, and it makes it look –

I've been using this feature for – not even like don't need to and sending people just waiting for them to be like what the fuck did you do that how'd you do it what are you a wizard what you got a stylist over there it's my new favorite thing i love it i don't think you need the new phone i think it's just the update yeah so you know you can now hold down like if there's like this picture and you hold down on yourself in the picture, it'll copy it as like a sticker and you can paste it into like an Instagram story or another photo or something. Yeah. Okay. Very cool.

Very fun. I love that. I watched a movie that I really enjoyed actually. What movie? Do Revenge. Oh, I haven't heard of that. You haven't? I mean, it is the most Gen Z shit ever. I will say, like, I feel old now,

but I enjoyed it because it was definitely an ode to Mean Girls and Cruel Intentions, both of which I think are great films. Great films. The cast is insane, actually. Camila Mendes, who's in Riverdale. Mm-hmm. Maya Hawke, who's in Stranger Things. Mm-hmm.

Alicia Boe, who's in 13 Reasons Why. Mm, I never saw that. Jonathan Davis, who's in Stranger Things. Alicia Boe, who's in 13 Reasons Why. I never saw that. Jonathan Davis, who's in Outer Banks. Sophie Turner, who's in Game of Thrones. It's just the cast is insane. It's like all these up-and-comers or whatnot. And the story's fun. So the tag is,

Dre and Eleanor agree to go after one another's bullies, do revenge. So it's a take on Strangers on a Train. It's like an old film. Sarah was telling me all about it. I don't know. It's effectively like it's two people who want to enact revenge on someone else, but they can't do it because then it'll be obvious that they're the ones who did it. So the other does it for them and vice versa, right? Got it. Yeah. It's on Netflix.

You know, it's all these high school kids who are like rich. It's like clueless. They all go to like some school that everyone's just filthy rich or very much like Cruel Intentions. Even Sarah Michelle Gellar is in it as the principal. Oh, cool. It's fun. Good twist. The acting's great. And highly recommend. What's it on? Netflix. Netflix. I'll watch that. That sounds great. I don't think you're a fan of this show, but you know, The Handmaid's

Tale. Yeah, I know it's back. You don't love that show, do you? No, I read the book and I didn't really love the book. I never loved it. I watched the first season and I was like, okay. Oh, interesting. Okay. Sarah loves it though.

You what? Sarah loves it. So I'm wrong. The acting is just phenomenal. Elizabeth Moss. And she directs so much of it too, which is very cool. They, I think it's two episodes that are out and it's pretty fucking crazy. I mean, the last season ended, spoiler alert, I haven't seen the last season.

You know, it ends with them killing Fred, which is fucking crazy. I mean, the last season ended, spoiler alert, I haven't seen the last season, you know, it ends with them killing Fred, which is fucking crazy. So now his wife is pregnant with his kid, I guess. I'm still kind of waiting for like the other shoe to drop there. And I'm just like, is that his kid? Or did she do something sketch? Like, I don't know.

Okay, so the guy, the like good looking guy that's like the Canadian, he's like the representation for like Canada with all the negotiations with Gilead. And he's just, like, always there. And, like, she and him have had this, like, weird thing for the past season or two, I'm telling you. Like, some sexual tension or something's going on between these two. I've always thought it. So I'm like, man, is there something sketch?

Like, is it going to come out that it's his kid or maybe it is Fred's kid, but like they're going to get together and still great. And they've teased that June is going to go back to Gilead for Hannah, it seems like. And then a bunch of the other handmaids that have escaped are going back to go after Aunt Lydia, who is the actual devil. So yeah, still great. All right. I've got a least favorite thing. Okay. There's a show on Netflix called Devil in Ohio. Oh, I've like passed by this when I've scrolled. Yeah, it's obviously, you know,

it's relatively popular on Netflix. I watched the first three episodes and the play the other day and it didn't do it for me. But here's the thing. So it's Emily Deschanel, Zoe Deschanel's sister, who was in the show Bones. I don't know if you remember that. When a psychiatrist shelters a mysterious cult escapee,

her world is turned upside down as the girl's arrival threatens to tear her own family apart. Devil in Ohio. It's creepy. This girl's part of a devil cult and like you don't know if she's like you know the antichrist or whatnot it's just kind of like not the best acting i think it's a little like lifetimey i wish it was a little like darker and you know i'm saying so anyways i think you kind of pass on devil in ohio okay yeah it hasn't really

grasped me when i've scrolled by it. Yeah. Are you caught up on The Patient, the Steve Carell show? Yes, I think so. It was starting to lose me a little. Have you gotten to the part where he brings in the guy that he wants to kill? No. Oh, yeah. Well, it gets better. Okay. Yeah. It was starting to lose me there for a second. Yeah, like the stakes get raised again because the guy that he wants to kill, that he's hired Steve Caretta, like kind of convince him not to kill,

all of a sudden shows up blindfolded, chained to the wall in the room next door. And all of a sudden Steve's like, fuck, I'm going to die too. I'm going to die. Okay. That show's great. I don't even know if we've done this one, but I got sent a Craigslist ad that needs to be read on the show.

I think we might have done it before, but I'm not sure. It's an ad to sell a 1999 Toyota Corolla. Oh. And this is the ad. The 1999 Toyota Corolla. Let's talk about is the ad. The 1999 Toyota Corolla. Let's talk about features. Bluetooth. Nope.

Sunroof. Nope. Fancy wheels. Nope. Rear view camera. Nope. But it's got a transparent rear window and you have a fucking neck

that you can turn. Let me tell you a story. One day, my Corolla started making a strange sound. I didn't give a shit and I ignored it. It went away.

The end. You can take the engine out of this car, drop it off the Golden Gate Bridge, fish it out of the water a thousand years later, put it in the trunk of a car, fill the gas tank with Nutella, turn the key, and this puppy would fucking start right up.

This car will outlive you. It will outlive your children. Things this car is old enough to do. Vote? Yes. Consent to sex? Yes. Rent a car? It is a car. This car's got history. It's seen some shit.

People have done straight things in this car. People have done gay things in this car. It's not going to judge you like a fucking Volkswagen would. Interesting facts. This car's exterior color is gray, but its interior color is gray. In the owner's manual, oil is listed as, quote unquote, optional. When this car was unveiled at the 1998 Detroit Auto Show, it caused all 2,000 attendees to spontaneously yawn.

The resulting abrupt change in air pressure inside the building caused a partial collapse of the roof. Four people died. The event is chronicled in the documentary, Bored to Death, the story of the 1999 Toyota Corolla. If you want to know more, great. I had my car fill out a Facebook survey. Favorite food, spaghetti. Favorite TV show, ALF. Favorite band, tie between Bush and the Jim Blossoms.

This car is as practical as a Roth IRA. It's as middle of the road as your grandpa during his last silver alert. It's as utilitarian as a member of a church whose scripture is based entirely on water bills. When I ran the car facts for this car, I got back a single piece of paper that said, it's a Corolla.

It's fine. Let's face the facts. This car isn't going to win any beauty contests, but neither are you. Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to your wife. This isn't the car you want. It's the car you deserve. The fucking 1999 Toyota Corolla.

Where'd you find that? I don't know. What do you mean I don't know? It's on Instagram. I feel like you've read something similar in the past, but not that. I think we might have done this one. That's the problem with these reviews is that we did all the good ones. And people want more of them, but it's like, well, we did them.

So maybe it's just like we just didn't bring them back, you know? Maybe. I don't know. It's funny. It is pretty great. I'm about maybe a quarter of the way through stephen king's new very large novel fairy tale and let me tell you boy oh boy do i love it i just love stephen king's writing like for whatever reason a lot i i don't know what it is but for whatever reason he really

gets my attention i don't know if it's like it's very simple writing and I can, it's not a lot of big words and I'm not confused by some of the analogies or whatnot. But it's so good. And this is kind of his first foyer, I feel like, into fantasy. He's more

like thriller and mystery and psychological. And this one I think it probably will have all those things, but it's very, very fantastical. And I absolutely love it. So initial reviews of Stephen King's A Fairy Tale, two thumbs up, great for the holiday season. All right, love it.

All right, you got any music for anything? I do. What do you got? Young Nikki finally put out her album that she has been working on for years. the holiday season all right love it all right you got any music or anything i do young nikki finally put out her album that she has been working on for years yeah i know you played something of hers recently yeah i played the one with oh yeah the death cab song yeah that's good yeah um that one's on here but i i mean the whole album is phenomenal but she has a song it's the very last song on here.

It's called Loretta's Song. And it's for my grandmother, my mom's mom that passed away a couple years ago that we were all extremely close to. And I just love it. It's just so good. They know roses at my feet Cause where I'm going He waits for me I know. to keep regretting And love's too strong to lay down for death I know

you're hurting but it's not the end So hold on darling, I will see you again Again I'll see you again. I know.

That's sad. So fucking sad. Noah's just so talented. Anyway, her album's called The Hardest Part. If you guys haven't listened to it, I highly recommend. The whole thing's very good. Her voice sounds phenomenal. Could you ask young Noah if she has ever gotten into Elliot Smith? Yeah, I'll ask.

I bet she has. I wonder. She's like the most Elliot Smith person since Elliot Smith. Yeah. Very true. Like all sad songs. And I love Elliot Smith, one of my favorites. So that's a compliment.

Yeah, I'll ask her. I bet so. And then somebody else that I'm a big, big fan of, Fletcher, dropped a new album. We played Fletcher last week. Did we? Yeah. I love her. The album's called Girl of My Dreams.

The whole thing's great. If you like her stuff, you'll like this. I was jamming to Serial Heartbreaker this week. I like that she's great got driving beat wonder if we have some favorite things from the YFT years.

Should we try to see? Yeah. Emily Elizabeth sent us a voice note. Here's what she had to say. Wells and Brandy. This is Emily here, and I wanted to talk books. So a while ago, a while being maybe a year or two, Wells recommended a book called The Savior's Champion. So good. So good. Love that book.

But then I also found a book that is kind of similar, except it's about a female protagonist becoming a king's assassin. Kind of similar vibes in the first book but then this one has a whole series behind it and it's called throne of glass and i definitely recommend it it's the same author of the popular book a court of thorns and roses or something i don't know she writes a couple different series but throne of glass of Glass, ding, ding, ding. All right. Sounds good. Love a good book review.

Love. It's so funny. I don't really give a shit if people think that my TV suggestions are bad or even my music suggestions are bad, but I get very hurt when people are like, that book was not good and you said it was good. Because I think that, for whatever reason, books, I think, are a sign of your intelligence.

Yeah, I agree. And when like your intelligence, you know? Yeah, I agree. And when they're like, that book was stupid, and it's basically saying you're stupid, you know? Yeah, fair. Here's Gabby. Let's see what she has to say. Hi, Wells and Brandy. My name is Gabby. What up?

I'm from Ohio. Ohio? I normally don't do things like this, but... You do today. Brandy recommended Virgin River as a show to watch, and I watched Heart of Dixie, which I loved, and I just finished Virgin River, and oh my God, was it good. And the twist at the end, unbelievable unbelievable i am so shocked and literally can't even even because wow i love the show and um i listen to it every single wednesday

oh thank you i have a really hard job and this podcast is what gets me through the middle of the week. You guys always joke about how the podcast is terrible and nobody listens to it, but I've been an avid listener for over a year now, and my Wednesday's not complete without it. So it's great.

The industry? Basically, like, Wall Street's British edition. So they have their whole Wall Street and, like, trading over there. It's these 20-something-year-olds trying to make it over there in that industry.

There's a lot of sex. Nice. Drugs. Love it. Relationships. Cool. Friendships. A lot of sex, drugs, relationships, friendships, and it just follows a couple of characters.

And it's an amazing show. It's a nail-biter, but also very interesting. And a lot of the stereotypes of that job and career gets pulled out. But yeah, give it a go. It is called Industry on HBO Max. All right. And yeah. She sent another one. Let's see what this one says.
