And it used to be that when I drank, I would sleep until next week, like into the next lunar cycle. And now if I drink up at four 30 in the morning, can't get back to bed. What is happening in my body? I think it's my body saying, listen, you know what? Stop it. Just stop for a second. And I'm not talking about like

blackout, wasty face drunk. I'm talking about like three vodka sodas. Oh, we think you should look at your phone at 4.30 in the morning until about 6. when you finally get up that seems fair okay let's um let's call the brand let's see if she's a veil nope that's a hard no all right let's try that again oh there we go bing bong bang boom boom boom hi hi what are you doing just waiting for you to get on the pod. There's like a weird noise going on. There's a lot of things happening today. What's happening?

It's spring on the farm. Yeah. We're seeding the fields and we're spraying for weeds and moving horses around. It's just been an exciting morning here. Did you have a nice Easter Sunday? I was hungover as all hell. Oh, look at you. Why? Did you go to Garth Brooks? I was hungover as all hell. Oh, look at you. Why?

Did you go to Garth Brooks? I did go to Garth Brooks. My sister was there. That's how I know it's happening. It's funny. My friends text me and they were like, are you a Garth fan? And I was like, honestly, no. Why?

Wow. And they were like, well, we have like this box and if you want to come and whatever. And I was like, well, I'll go to hang with you guys. Like, I miss y'all. Like, it'd be nice to hang. So who cares if I'm a Garth fan? And I got there and like, everyone's singing along and I'm like, I don't know any of these songs. And I, and everyone's like, what do you mean? And I was like, honestly, like come to think of it as a growing up. Like we listened to a lot of female country artists in my house and my dad, and that's it. i was like i feel

like my parents sheltered me from any other like male country artist that was direct competition with my dad got it because like garth was kind of his rival back in the day yeah i mean like direct competition for sure first 100 for sure it's not mutually exclusive for me i was a billy ray cyrus fan growing up and i'm a i was a huge Garth fan growing up I can sing every freaking song dude calling on Baton Rouge used to be my like go-to karaoke song how does that one go I operated won't you put me on through I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge hurry up get them on the line I gotta talk to my girl just one more time oh my god I've never heard that song maybe I did maybe I did Saturday night I don don't know. Hold on.

I mean, I got to play a little for you. The only one I know is, I got friends in low places. Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away. Everyone loved that one. I mean. I spent last night in the guns of a girl in Louisiana. Though I'm on the highway, guns of a girl in Louisiana. So I'm out on the highway. My thoughts are still with her.

Such a strange situation of a woman and a child. Such a strange situation. Stopped by every hundred miles. Called Baton Rouge. How do you not know that song? I do not know that song. Wow. I'm a huge, huge Garth Brooks fan.

I heard that he closed out with American Pie. I don't know if you stay with the encore. Oh, yes. Yep, I heard that one. I was like, I know this one. I'd love to know what your dad's opinion of Garth Brooks is. Yeah, I'm not sure, honestly. I just remember listening to a lot of Shania, Trisha, Leigh-Anne.

Well, he's married to Trisha. Yeah, I know. A lot of female artists in our household. Dolly. And then I feel like any male country I heard was older country, like Waylon and Johnny, Willie. I'll tell you what, the 90s in country music was all about the female artist. Yeah, it was.

Faith, Shania, Bonnie, Dolly. Dixie Chicks was huge. Dixie Chicks were huge. Man. I'm jealous. So did you have a good time? I did. We had a blast.

Yeah, of course. It was like a party in the box. And then afterwards, I haven't been out on the town in Nashville in so long. We went to this place that's like a restaurant that turns into a quote-unquote club after hours. Okay. Dumbest place I've ever been in my life. But we did have fun because we had a really great group of people. Yeah.

I stayed out way too late. I think I got home at 3 a.m. Who am I? Wow. I think I had four old fashions over the course of the evening. Man. I got a little turnt. So Easter morning hit me a little hard. I don't think I got out of bed until about 930. But then you know what? I

chugged some water, had two coffees, went on my way, went to the barn, rode my horse, put bunny ears on her for photos, you know. Yeah. The classics for Easter. Yeah. Took Astro on an Easter egg hunt with her doggy friends. We really did it up. Nice. Yeah. Were you by yourself? I was. Oh. By choice. Got it.

By choice. I grew up in a very Catholic household. I went to 12 years of Catholic school, four of which in high school were all boys. I'm a confirmed Catholic. All that to be said, I feel like i did my time and now i'm just and i know a lot this might offend a lot of people i'm sorry i'm just kind of done with religion for a bit i see so like it's not like i did it until you're on your deathbed and then you're going to be, praise the Lord, take you on home. That's what everyone does though. It seems a little disingenuous if I'm God. But yeah,

you know, I did it and I enjoy an Easter brunch. I will say that. The celebration of Easter makes zero sense to me. Like I understand the theology of it all. Yeah, this was the day that Christ rose again after three days. Not exactly sure why it always falls on the Sunday after the first full moon of spring. That seems very pagan to me. That doesn't seem like anything rooted in Catholicism at all. Yeah. Seems a little bit like you guys were like,

hmm, a lot of people are celebrating this thing over here. Let's just say this is when this happened. Uh-huh. It doesn't really matter. Also, I'm not sure how bunnies got involved and why they're shitting out eggs. Don't get that part of it. Seems a little weird.

Oh, a lot of pastels. A lot of pastels. And you know what? It's just not my color scheme. I'm just not a seafoam green guy. Not a Nantucket red. It's not me. Not a salmon guy over here. No. No. So, I'm going a Nantucket Red. It's not me. I'm not a salmon guy over here. No, no.

So I'm going to hell. I actually, by choice, wanted to do nothing because the day before I went and played golf and had a great time. And then afterwards, I went out to a bar. This is the first bar I've been to in a very long time, I think, with my soon to be brother in law, in which I, you know, I asked him to be in the wedding, which is like, oh, that's a big deal. I think it's a big deal. I don't know. Yeah. But he took me to and I got to say this is like my new favorite thing. He took me to I'm going to say this in a positive way. He took me to a nerdy bar. And by that, it's a bar that everyone was playing board games. And on the TVs on the wall, they weren't playing sports.

They were watching Twitch where people were playing video games and stuff. Wow. That is nerdy. And people were there dressed in Renaissance Festival clothing. Okay, now you've lost me. Yeah. You had me up until that. Well, I think the Renaissance Festival is actually happening now in Los Angeles, Irwindale or whatever.

That's who was there. You know, like people who like LARP, I feel like, and like big gamers and stuff. I'm not making fun of this place at all. Actually, I was like, this is fucking dope. I did not know that places like this existed. And it wasn't a barcade. That's different. Actually, I was like, this is fucking dope. I did not know that places like this existed. And it wasn't a barcade. That's different.

That's like where they have like a bunch of like arcade games and it's kind of like cool or whatnot. But I was like looking around and this one table of people brought their own TV screen and a Nintendo Switch. What? And a battery pack. And they were playing. I thought it was Mortal Kombat, but I come to find out it was Smash Brothers. They were playing that and they had a crowd of people around them. No.

I have a picture of it and I was blown away. And I started watching too. I was like, oh, fuck, this is interesting. And I guess like the, here's the thing. I had a blast. I thought it was so cool. I didn't know those places existed. Glad they do.

I was thinking about it like, cause I was kind of a nerdy kid in high school and you're always wondering like will there be like a place for me i feel like i'm an outcast i feel like i'm not part of the cool crew i wish i knew this when i was a kid there's no such fucking thing as cool it's just different people doing different shit and if you feel like you're not cool, there's going to be a bunch of fucking people who felt that way who are going to have their own bar in Burbank. I promise you, because I went there the other night

and they were all fucking having a great time. And I was sitting there, I'm being like, I don't even know what cool is. These guys are all having a fucking blast right now, dressed up in their LARPing costumes, getting wasted, watching Smash Brothers. This is great. Yeah.

Keep your head up. I like how you're talking to the listeners like they're high schoolers. I know. We're not that cool. Like our listeners are our age. Yeah, I know. But clearly having a quarter life crisis because they're listening to this podcast. Well, it was more of, yeah, it's very true.

It was more of me realizing, oh my God, this place exists. If I had known that this place existed in high school, I would have been, felt so much better about what the future held, I think. Yeah, I see that. Wow. They fucking brought a TV and a fucking gaming system to a bar, bro. That's dedication. I'll show you a picture. I couldn't believe it. I was blown away. And you were having so much fun, you didn't even post it on your Instagram, huh? I really didn't want to come across as I was making fun of it because that's not how I felt about it. I was just like, this

is wild. This is a place. Wow. Right? Yeah. They brought like a subwoofer to a bar. To a bar. They got a fucking big backpack of all this shit. I was like, man, this is dedication. The Smash Brothers. People that play video games are like all in. Dude, there's a lot of money. And I started asking my brother-in-law or future brother-in-law. I was like, how much of these Twitch? Because they were on.

It was like we were watching ESPN. You're not a sports bar. But it was Twitch people. And I was like, how much of these people were making? And he's like, well, the top people were making a fuck lot of money. I was like, really? This is amazing. It's something.

Yeah. Anyways. Should we shut the really? This is amazing. It's something. Yeah. Anyways, should we shut the show? Uh-huh. Yeah. Man, I feel like I've offended Christians. Yep. And then maybe nerds. Yep. And maybe cool people.

I think I've offended everybody. It is what you do best, I feel. Yeah. All right. Is it me or you? I think it's you. Bros and hoes, you're listening to Your Favorite Thing Podcast with... Wells and Brandy.

Episode 201, dare I say? 201. Did you have fun doing the live on YouTube the other night? You know what?

I did. As we were closing out, I was like, shit, I'm kind of drunk. Yeah. I made a very strong old-fashioned. So it's over at, what, 7? And I'm sitting here drunk on a Thursday by myself. I don't know. I have mixed feelings about it, actually.

I kept on drinking after that as well. And then I was talking about this before I called you. This is what happens to me now. This is the age of which I am at. When I drink before bed, I wake up at four in the morning every single time and can't go back to sleep. That's weird. Gone are the days where I'd go blackout and I'd sleep until like the next Olympics.

I think I've said this before. Every time I drink, drink, drink, I don't sleep well. Like I wake up a bunch and I'm usually up like at four and just up and down and yet can't sleep. Yeah. I've kind of always been like that though with drinking. It's weird that it's happening to me. As I get older, I'm less pumped about drinking. Mm-hmm.

You know? Almost to the point where like Saturday night, I was having so much fun. Mm hmm. You know, almost to the point where like Saturday night I was having so much fun, but I still in the back of my head was like, oh, tomorrow is going to suck so bad that it's almost going to ruin this for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how you start thinking that way now. Yeah. That's why when you were young and invincible, you were like, fuck, it doesn't matter if my hangovers aren't that bad.

I'll go to Waffle House tomorrow and everything will be fine. Exactly. I don't think they have any Waffle Houses here in Los Angeles and that's a problem for me. Yeah. And there isn't really anything comparable, is there? Denny's? IHOP? Yeah. I'd say yes. It's kind of similar, huh? I guess. Anyways.

Fave things, bro. Yeah. Okay, I finished Ultimatum. Finally. I mean, I think they staggered the releases, by the way. So I don't know if I was like super behind, but. Well, you weren't. I watched the reunion show like the day it came out. What are your thoughts on the reunion show?

Because you seem like really keen on wanting to talk about it. I just was really, I guess I was just really, really shocked that so many people stayed together with their like OG person. Yeah, and it does seem like they filmed this a very long time ago too yeah it does everyone's hair is different everyone's blonde now colby's wife is about to pop literally about like them two honestly their relationship like out of everybody i was the most shocked by them i'm like so were you guys just putting on a show for everyone that it was so bad because like i just don't guys just putting on a show for everyone that it was

so bad? Because like, I just don't get it. That's what I think. I think it was all they were all bullshit. You do all of it or just that couple? Mainly that couple. Because yeah, the storyline we talked about this last episode, the storyline never made sense to me. She didn't want to be with him. She wanted to fuck another dude. All her friends hated him. Oh, everyone loves him. Oh, I love him. I want to get married to married to him oh i fucking hate him because he you know he said he did this for me i fucking love it was just like back and forth back and forth made no sense there was no story arc to it which made it seem like it was a story derived by people who don't understand how television works which means that colby and whatever her name was. Madeline. Madeline formulated it by themselves.

It just never made sense to me. Them two, like for sure. Like that was probably the part of that, like their relationship was the part of the show that I liked the least, I think. It just seemed all over the place. One minute, you know, Madeline's like, Randall's perfect. He's my dream guy. But and they're saying they they're making out,

but none of it's on camera, which I don't understand because clearly they have cameras in the bedrooms because they show the tall hot guy messing around with Randall's girl there at the end. You know what I mean? It's like, it's like a, it's like a night vision cam that's like in the bedroom and it shows them under the cup. So like, if that's in all the bedrooms, then how do we not see Madeline and Randall making out? And anyway, I don't know. It was just weird that that was like a whole thing that was never shown on camera, but such a big deal.

And so I'm like, did you guys even do that? Do you guys just like make that up to make him jealous? And like, I don't know. It was strange to me. And I guess like I was surprised that Randall even proposed to Shanique. First of all, she is gorgeous, stunning, great style. Go get him, girl. I was shocked Randall proposed to her. And then obviously when they come back foray because ray he's the hottie here's what i think happened between ray and zay because ray like goes in on zay real hard and here's what i think happened i think ray watched that show back felt like she was weak and not empowered and was

like i'm gonna go on this reunion show and really like show zay like who's boss and everything and then just kind of starts yelling at him going in on it and like i don't understand where this is coming from yeah he went out till eight in the morning he probably did cheat on you you told him that you don't want to marry him and like so it was that was a very very odd fight in the middle of the reunion that i was like i don't understand where this is coming from i kind of loved that zay called her out and was like, don't act like you have been fucking me this entire time, like in between the show and now. And I was like, oh my God, that is the tea I needed. That's too good. And then major curve ball when she says she's dating a girl. Like I

thought for sure she would be with, what's his face that she's sitting next to what's his name um it's amazing how after one week you forget i know i never really knew their names to begin with i was really surprised that they didn't stay together that they're not together and then april over here have you seen the guy she's dating no but i saw that there was like an e-news thing really i'm like get it girl yeah get your life i said when we first started talking about the show that i thought she was the cutest one she just is an annoying drunk for sure well yeah it's the cutest ones are always the fucking craziest too it's like that's true you're gonna date somebody hot get ready for me insane yeah and i still hate Alexis. So there's that. I don't know.

Yeah. She seems like the woman in every rom-com that's going to marry the sweet carpenter from the town, but really doesn't love him, but only loves him for his family's money. And you're really rooting for the journalist that comes from the big city back to the small town and to rekindle because you hate the gold digging woman so much. She's almost like not real. She's just like that. No, I know. Character.

Yeah. And she looks it too. There's a little bit of me that's like, was this just all like one big, amazing casting call? Because I think it, I think it could have been. It could have been for sure. But it's messy as fuck. have been it could have been for sure but it's messy as fuck i also love how vanessa like airs out her and nick's dirty laundry like left and right i am like yes i love all this tea it might not be real though i don't know how good of a host she is i feel like it's real because usually when she'll say something the look on nick's face is like are you fucking serious that you're saying

that right now well it's an old like radio trick or just an old interview trick is to be like super self deprecating and super honest about your own life to make other people feel comfortable to open up i could see that you know howard stern was the king of it talking about how small his penis was and then be like how big is your penis and everyone be like you know that's what he would do he would do that kind of stuff all the time to get people oh my god this guy's talking about how small his dick is i can at least i can do is tell him about bts of being on set at this movie you know and so i wonder if she's doing a little bit of that maybe i don't know i don't know if she's that calculated i know i'm not sure or if she's just like got a lot of trauma from her relationship that is coming out in this experiment.

Yeah. Either way, I'm here for it. And I love it. Yeah. And I love that show. Yeah. There's a season two. 100% going to be season two.

Everyone loved it. Yeah. It's great. Messy as fuck, though. Oh, yeah. Let's just call it Spade to Spade. That is a show for people who want to be allowed to cheat. Oh, absolutely.

Right? Yes. Just say what it is. You want to cheat. Oh, absolutely. Right? Yes. Just say what it is. You want to cheat. Can we call it that? You want a free pass. Yeah. You want a hall pass

with a bunch of fucking random people for three weeks. Yeah. If I was one of them, I'd be like, fuck, I got to stick with this person for three weeks. It's a long time. Yeah, I just want to fuck somebody one time and then never have to talk to them again. I got to cheat on someone for three weeks straight It's a long time. Yeah, I just wanna fuck somebody one time

and then never have to talk to them again. I gotta cheat on someone for three weeks straight? Jesus, that's gonna be exhausting. It's so long. It's so long. So long. All right. Well, probably enough on ultimatum.

You got some other fave things, bro? Yeah, bro. Have you seen the new show Amy Schumer is in? I think she even maybe wrote it. It's called Life and Beth, I think. After an unexpected incident, Beth starts having flashbacks to her teen self

and learns how she became who she is and who she wants to become. Life and Beth on Hulu. Yeah, the cast is really good. Michael Cera's in it and I just love him so much. He's just so great and and he kind of plays her love interest uh which is funny but here's the thing comedy's not normally

my thing but i do like amy schumer i think she's funny it's like a sort of a coming of age story in a way that the way that they do the flashbacks which is nice like there's definitely some layers of like seriousness to it which i appreciate But it's also just very funny. Quick episodes, easy to watch. I loved it. I think I'm not done with it, but I'm like seven episodes in. You're in. I cruised through it.

Wow. All right. Oh, great music in the show too. Would you say that it's more of a girl's show or a co-ed show? I think it's a co-ed show. Okay. It probably leans towards female audience, but it's, I think, with the actors that are in it and it being a bit of a comedy, I think, like, you could watch it and like it. Okay.

Mike Clare is hilarious. I mean, come on. He's the best. Love him. Do I have a show for you oh what is it oh i oh i do oh you do it's called outer range have you heard of it yes i've heard of it but i haven't seen it yet okay is it good i was thinking when i saw it and i've like seen it pop up and i was like is this like the poor man's Yellowstone?

Like, what is this? So kind of. But then it also has like this weird sci-fi twist to it. Oh. Yeah. So it's on Prime. Here's the tag. A rancher fighting for his land and family who discovers an unfathomable mystery at the edge of Wyoming's wilderness.

Outer Range on prime. So, it's Josh Brolin. He's a rancher. It is a lot like Yellowstone. So he's a rancher in Wyoming. The ranch that like butts up to his land is owned by like the bad guys

and they're trying to steal some of Josh Brolin's land that he's had in his family forever but there was some sort of clerical error in the creation of the topographical maps in like the 1800s it's kind of up in the air of whose land it really is josh brolin's got a couple sons one of which is a rodeo cowboy the weird thing is is that there is this giant hole on his land. It's magical or like a portal of some sort. You don't really know what's going on, but it seems like it takes you to another realm, another reality or something. So it's Yellowstone meets La Brea. Yes, exactly. Exactly. All right. As bad as La Brea was,. Exactly. This is what you're saying.

All right. As bad as La Brea was, I think I can get down with this. Well, it's better because Brolin is a very good actor. And then there's another character played by Imogen Poots who's been in a bunch of stuff. Oh, yeah.

I like her. Yeah. And so she's kind of like this hippie wayward traveler who like asks if she can camp on this land. There's something going on with her that you're not really sure of. And then, of course, like in the first episode, there's a murder. And classic.

Where do you throw the body? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. You know, I think you get the idea. There's only right now. There's only two episodes out. I really enjoyed both of them. I will say that.

OK. And you're going to love it, too. I'll give that a go. It's a lot of horses. I will say that. Okay. And you're going to love it too. It's a lot of horses and cattle and good looking cowboys. You know, I love that. Yeah. Okay, great. Check it out. I need a new show. I did start a new Netflix show last night. What is it? Have you seen Anatomy of a Scandal? No. I was very sleepy last night when I started it. So I actually might need to go back and watch that first episode again. But it's a David E. Kelly show, which is the biggest reason I turned it on. So if you don't know, David E. Kelly did like Big Little Lies, The Undoing, Nine Perfect Strangers. He does a lot of

good TV and the cast is really good. A sexual consent scandal amongst British privileged elite and the women caught up in its wake. Anatomy of a scandal. It's got Sienna Miller in it. I used to have a big crush on her back in the day. Yeah, she's gorgeous. And then Rupert Friend. Remember he was in, is it Homeland? Yeah, Homeland.

That he was so good in. I'm not quite sure what the exact storyline is yet. I mean, episode one is Rupert Friend's character. He's a politician of some sort in the British parliament or whatever it is. And Sienna Miller plays his wife. And episode one, it comes out with scandal like that he has cheated on her and he comes to her to tell her before it like hits the press or whatever. And so, like, again, like I said, I was a little bit tired. I think I need to go back and watch episode one. But great cast, great, you know, writer and great premise. So it's got to be good.

Damn. OK, I'll check it out. Netflix just came out April 15th. Have you heard of this show on Apple called Severance? We touched on this on the live YouTube thing because one of the wife tears said they were watching it. So I downloaded a few of those episodes when I was, I think when I was flying around South America and I needed shows to watch and I watched the first episode and I'm just not sure it grasped me.

And I know what you're going to say. Watch a few and give it a chance. Because what's the guy's name? That's the lead. What's his name? I love him. Adam Scott. Adam Scott.

Thank you. Love him. And I like the idea of it. It's fascinating. So how many episodes in are you? I am four or five. Okay. So you're in.

I like it. Okay. It's a you're in. I like it. Okay. It's a weird fucking show. Yeah. I think you just need to like go in being like, all right, this is a fucking weird show. Here's the tag. Mark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives. When a mysterious colleague appears outside of work, it begins a journey to discover the truth about their jobs. Severance on Apple TV. So here's the thing. It's

very well done. Almost every episode is directed by Ben Stiller. So when you hear Ben Stiller and Adam Scott, you think, oh, this is a comedy. and it's not really what it is at all even though there are some funny parts the cast is insane i will say that you have adam scott you have john taturo you have patricia arquette you have christopher walken so many like really big names are in this show and the premise is there's a company that has such protected intellectual property that they do a surgery on its employees where they put like this little microchip in their brain so that when they go to work, they remember everything that they worked on the day before. But then when they leave the office, they turn back into their out-of-office self and don't remember anything that happened while they were at work. Adam Scott's the main character, and you have him in his normal life.

He's kind of like a normal dude. He's got the same problems. Something happened to his wife. His sister's pregnant. He's got a little bit of a drinking problem. And then his work life knows nothing of his outside life. problem and then his work life knows nothing of his outside life basically that life is completely stranded at work all the time which sounds like a fucking nightmare right and like the first episode starts like his best friend basically being fired from that job and he's like where did he go like

what happened they replaced this guy with this woman who does not want to be there and her whole fucking modus operandum is like to get the fuck out of there but she can't it's really interesting and i'm like five episodes in it's fucking weird but i do feel like the payoff is going to be very very good okay and also like it just is a lot of very good acting the the scenes between john taturo and christopher walken are phenomenal and those guys have been around forever and they're amazing actors. So I'm in. I'm in it. Yeah.

All right. I mean, I feel like I could give it another shot for sure. But it is. It's weird and it's like episode one was just slow, you know? So it was hard to get excited about it. Yeah. I want to say like the first two episodes, I was like, okay, I'm understanding what this world is. And then the third episode, I was like, oh, shit.

Okay, here we go. So maybe try one or two more and see what you think. Alrighty. I saw that The Flight Attendant Season 2 is coming out in like a week or two. Very excited about that. I loved that show. I did too.

I really did. Kaley Kiyoko. Kwoko. Kukuku Chu. Yeah. I watched a Korean film I did too. I really did. Kaley Kiyoko. Kukukuchu. Yeah. I watched a Korean film the other day that I really liked. Really? It's called Memories of a Murder. It was written by the same guy that did Parasite. Oh yeah, you loved that. I did love that. And he won an Oscar for Parasite. His name is Bong Joon-ho. He wrote and directed this. And so this is kind of his early work. I would assume that this is Korea's Tarantino and this is Reservoir Dogs, whereas Parasite was Inglourious

Bastards. In a small Korean province in 1986, two detectives struggle with the case of multiple young women being found raped and murdered by an unknown culprit memories of a murder so it's kind of happening like the sleepy town it's a farming town with there's like a plant there mine something so like obviously it's not a place not like chicago detroit where like you would just have a lot of murders all these women start being found raped and murdered and bound in a very similar situation. So it turns into, it's a serial killer. And the cops who know who are working on it are bad cops. They've just never dealt with this before. And so they try to, you know, pin it on the mentally challenged boy in town because the shoe prints were similar. And they're just like, kind of like fumbling

through the whole thing. And then another cop from soul comes in to help kind of changes everything around it's really really good the storytelling is is great and if you can kind of get through the subtitles of it all i think that it's a it's a movie that you'd really enjoy if you don't want to do the subtitles if you didn't like paris i know that shit, then maybe skip it. But Memories of a Murder, very good. Okay. It sounds good.

Have you seen, I think it's on Hulu. There's like a new movie with Ben Affleck, Deep Water. Oh yeah. This is the one where he met Ana de Armas

and that's when they started dating. And now he's with J-Lo. Yeah. Huh. Man, it's killing it these days. Here's the tag. A well-to-do husband who allows his wife to have affairs in order to avoid divorce becomes a prime suspect. The prime suspect in the disappearance of her lovers.

Deep Water. That sounds pretty good. Sounds good. I think I'm going to watch that tonight. And it's a Gone Girl 2. Yeah. A husband who allows his wife to have affairs. Dude, Ben, you should go on The Ultimatum.

That's what you should do. Good one. Yeah. Ana de Armas is very hot. Gorge. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, she gorge.

I'm going to check that out. I like that. Also, I know you gave up on it like forever ago, but you know what has actually gotten pretty good is Big Sky. Is it? I really think so. It's funny because the solid first half of season one had all these characters in it that I've never seen again. Like it's like it's like this first season started with one storyline and then they plucked like the two like most engaging characters from that and then brought in all these new people for season two. And now it's almost a completely different show.

It's weird, but it's really good. And, you know, the two cops, the two chicks that play cops, like they're whatever, they're acting as whatever. But there's some other characters in it that I just really like. But there's some other characters in it that I just really like. So like this family, it's a little Yellowstone-y, but like this family's kind of like come into Montana from Canada. There's like the drug cartel trying to like infiltrate Montana, right? Yeah. And turning all these people that live in Montana to like work for them. And obviously there's a lot of murder and stuff like that.

I don't know. I think it's really good. Like her network show, I'm into it. I've still been watching it. I'm loving it. Love it. The hot cop that's supposed to be undercover. The drug cartel maybe has turned him.

I don't know. I'm on the edge of my seat. I need to know, bro. Which side are you on? Is the skinny guy that was stealing the women still alive? You want me to tell you? He killed his mom. Want me to tell you?

Yeah. Give me a right of view? Yeah. You do? Yeah, tell me. he just died oh no yeah he finally finally got him finally got him all right the two girls get him a freak yeah he's a freak sort of they were involved it's messy if you will all right all right big sky i mean so good A show that I'm going to watch this week is Moon Knight. Have you heard of that one? No. It's Oscar Isaac's new Marvel show about a superhero named Moon Knight.

It's getting rave reviews. Ethan Hawke's in it. I think Ethan Hawke's the bad guy. The tag is, Steven Grant discovered he's been granted the powers of an Egyptian moon god, but he soon finds out that these newfound powers can be both a blessing and a curse to his troubled life. It's getting insanely good reviews, so I love it.

I'm not familiar with this comic, so I love it. I'm not familiar with this comic but Oscar Isaac very very rarely disappoints me in anything he does so Where do you watch it? Disney. Disney Plus. Sounds good.

I have a MacBook hack for all of those out there. Okay. This one is so good. Alright let's hear it it brandy you might not like this because you're such a fast typer but i'm telling you this has changed my life oh this is what you do kids if you got a macbook i also think you could do this on a pc but i just did on my macbook go to system preferences you go the little apple thing the top left hand corner of your desktop screen

go down to system preferences and then find keyboard. And then once you hit the keyboard screen, go to dictation and then turn dictation on. And then it'll ask like, how do you want to turn dictation on? Have it be, it could be anything, but the one I did was click control, the control button twice. So anytime you're working on your computer, you can press the control button twice and it'll start listening and you can start dictating. So if you're reading your emails, you're having to respond,

you can click on the email, click control twice, just say what you want to say and it'll fucking write it for you and you don't have to do anything wow i mean and i'm a fast typer too it's pretty great if you have a macbook you're also answering a lot of text messages on your mac at least i do you know uh-huh i'm doing it for that as well i'm just like not typing anymore i'm just talking i love to type i hate this hack i know you do and i like to type too when i'm sitting on my couch like watching tv answering emails you know in the morning before i start work like it's making my life so much easier so i'm just sitting there drinking my coffee being all right control control sounds good we'll circle back next week love the draft all right period send for my previous email i'm reattaching the pdf you say

They gave me Dr. Marsh. You know, I got a whole episode of Dr. Marsh. And then out of nowhere, there's no Grey's Anatomy last week. So I'm like, what the fuck? What? So I did a Google. Yeah. Grey's Anatomy has just decided to take a three week break for no reason out of nowhere.

Oh. Like, that's notomy has just decided to take a three-week break for no reason out of nowhere. That's not very nice. Yeah, I mean, what are you guys going to do without Grey's? Well, apparently, if you're one of those people that still have cable, apparently, if you're watching it on cable, they've filled the hour with older episodes. Okay, we don't need that. We have that on Netflix.

We need the new episodes, and we need them to come every week as promised. I'm sorry to hear that. I'm upset. Also, in that Google search, I found out that Ellen Pompeo, is that how you say her name? Yep. Makes half a million dollars an episode. Get it, girl.

Get it. Yeah. Man. Of all the people from old school, did not think she'd be the one that was making a half a million episode. Yeah. You know? I know. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. I thought it'd be the one that was making a half a million episode. Yeah. You know? I know.

It's crazy. Thought it'd be Owen Wilson. Speaking of Owen Wilson, Sarah has told me to send through a favorite thing. She watched the new rom-com Marry Me featuring Owen Wilson. Wow. And J-Lo. Oh, yeah. I've seen this somewhere.

Yeah. A preview of it. Oh, yeah. I've seen this somewhere. Yeah. A preview of it. It was good? She liked it. She loves a rom-com, though. Here's the tag. Music superstars Kat Valdez and Bastion are getting married before a global audience of fans. Can relate. But when Kat learns seconds before her

vows that Bastion has been unfaithful, she instead decides to marry Charlie, a stranger in the crowd. Marry me. What did she say about it? Sarah wrote cute. So it's cute, I guess. That's it? It's cute?
