Here we go again. Time to do the show. Gonna do it good. Maybe we won't. How's everybody doing? Me, I'm doing just great. I just got back from a golf trip to Chattanooga. I'm a big noob guy. I don't know if you know that. I'm a big, big noog guy. All right, let's call Brandi.

Let's call her up. Time to call Brandi up. What up? You look like you're on vacation. Do I? Because I feel like I look like I'm sitting in somebody's office. That's exactly what I'm doing. The teak doors behind you scream beach house. What can I say? The vibe is right. Everybody's got to be somewhere. Might as well

be in a beach house office. Might as well. You doing good? I literally just walked in the door. I've been flying all day to get here, but now I'm looking at a gorgeous view and I cannot complain. All right. Well, that's good. I just got back from a little golf vacay. Oh, I feel like you do this a lot. Yeah, whatever. This is really the only one I do, like a boy's trip that I do every year. This is the only one. Oh yeah, you were in Chattie. Dude, I was in the Noog. How was it? Big Noog guy. I know you are. Huge Noog guy. Dude, I was in the Noog. How was it? Big Noog guy. I know you are. Huge Noog guy. Dude, if you haven't been to Chattanooga, you haven't lived. Well.

Well, I'm telling you, it's a lot like Nashville in the fact that like, at least it's like Nashville was back in the day, like when I first got there. There's good food. The people seem chill. There's live music everywhere. The thing that the Noog has that Nashville didn't have as much of, a lot more I feel like lake stuff. Like a lot of people are on the boat in the Noog. And also, by the way, I'd like to say this real quick. I don't know if anyone calls Chattanooga the Noog, but I do.

And maybe I'm going to start this whole thing. Like we went out with our friends, Kim and Todd. We went to a place called the Boathouse in the Noog. Oysters, food, drinks, overlooking the water, beautiful sunset. And then we went to the South side. I don't know it well enough to really know where I went, but I went someplace and I watched some guy named the Danimal perform. And he kind of did that whole like ks roads ed sheeran thing where he was just like looping everything and fantastic wow and then we went and played a golf uh golf course called mclemore not the singer was a golf course and boom two big thumbs up on mclemore that place is

awesome the 18th hole for all the golf fans out there the 18th hole boom it's like pebble beach closing hole like Like crazy. Like up in the clouds. Like up in the mountain. Like on over, you know, Overlook Mountain? No. Okay. You don't know about the nuke, do you?

I've only been a couple times and I always go stay like in a cabin in the mountains. Yeah. I don't really do the town part. Yeah. Well, I enjoy the nuke. You also love calling it the nuke. I do. I don't even know if it's why I like it.

I think that's a big part. Yeah. We're doing this show later than we ever do. It's very late, yeah. We are getting very close to my bedtime. If I was in Nashville, I would be asleep. Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

Like, long asleep. So, let's start this show. Okay. Me or you? You. Bros and hoes, you're listening to Your Favorite Thing Podcast with... Wells and Brandy. Mm-hmm.

Very serious intro. Let me do it again, but I'll do it kind of serious again. Bros. Hoes. Sarah McLachlan fans. Fans of dogs that need to be adopted. No. I thought you were going to say the other thing.

And maybe euthanized. You're listening to Your Favorite Thing Podcast with... Wells and Brandy. We're going to start the show we've ever done Still doing that It's a couple more episodes And then we're done with it Maybe I don't know I did put Sarah McLachlan's Angel on the thing

So good We're ready Great You know a lot of times we'll do like, we'll do like what's happening in the news and all that kind of stuff. And so I go through a preparatory service and it's a similar one that I used when I was doing radio. It's so ridiculous how radio shows, even when I was doing it, like they send you all this stuff. And so it's always the same kind of shit and this is my favorite one it's like the the wacky morning zoo intro to the show and i thought we would just do

it let's start the show with like pretending that we are like this wacky morning show okay okay i want to have a silly name i was gonna say do i have to talk like that you know you can play the straight guy but like what's your name though? The straight guy? Yeah, I'll be the wacky. Whoa, pork chop. What's your name?

I'll be pork chop. I need that. I'd be a pork chop. Oh, that's so fucking classic. Typical fucking dorky radio guy. Like the, that's usually like the,

the sidekick is pork chopper or boner. I feel like every radio person's name is Amy. And it's always a sidekick. Always. Yeah, but you're Amy with two E's. Great.

You like that? I do. All right, here we go. It's a morning show and we're doing it. Rise and shine, sleepyhead. Rise and shine. I'm not really feeling up to this today. Nope, not really feeling up to it.

Really? Not today. Why not? Is everything so doom and gloom? Doom and gloom. The whole world is going crazy. Sounds like you need a pep talk. I don't need a pep talk.

Well. You're getting one. We're going to wake up. Get it together. One foot in front of the other. Put a smile on your face. And we're going to make a difference. Okay, guys, it's showtime.

WLK, the noob with Porkchop and Amy in the morning going to work right now. I hope it's not too crowded out there on the roads. We're going to get to Larry the Traffic Guy a little bit later, but we got a big show for you today. We're going to be giving away tickets to see Sarah McLachlan concert. She's going to be doing that one song, Angel, the entire day. Also giving away tickets to Sea Gravedigger this Sunday at the New Palace. That's right. Monster Truck is coming to town.

We'll sell you the entire seat, but you only need the edge. Amy, what's up? Oh, you know, it's a beautiful morning, you know,

driving into work. It'd be more glorious. You know, I'm just so blessed. Yeah. You want to live this life guys. How are they out there doing? It's because of the new,

you know, it's such a wonderful place to live. Amy, last night I was over at the boathouse. I was overlooking this beautiful sunset. And guess who I saw there? Who's that? Well, he looked a lot like Bob Barker.

But alas. Did you hear? Did you see that Bob Barker died? No. Yeah, he died at 99 years old. Wow. You know, he got the closest 200 without going over.

So you know what? Good for you, Bob. You are... I'd call it a win. Yeah. It's amazing. All right. Coming up later in the hour,

we're going to be giving away tickets to see Sarah McLachlan. That's right. She's going to be live at the Nube Palace. That's going to be very exciting. I like to love her. Love her, right? Yes.

So I thought what we should do to start the show was, I don't know, maybe we should start it with some Sarah McLachlan. Yes. All right. Stick around. You're on the noog. Not okay. I did see this I thought was cool before we kind of start doing our favorite things.

It was six tips from Tom Brady's mental fitness coach. Oh, a mental fitness coach. Of course, he's got everything. Yeah. Okay. So this is number one. Number one, discover the power of breathing. He says it's simple, but underrated. Start by taking five deep breaths, slow breaths, breathe in, and then hold. And as you exhale, are you doing it, Amy? Too easy. Yes. Then as you exhale, think about letting go of your stress and anxiety. That'd be kind of fun. Like if it worked, I guess.

They call this something. Yeah. Well, Wittenhoff has like a whole breathing thing, which I do do that, do do. I have been trying to do some more meditation in the morning. Did you know that about me? Yeah. No, I didn do do that. Do do. I have been trying to do some more meditation in the morning. Did you know that about me? Yeah. No, I didn't know that. TikTok informed me that I need to do more grounding, which means I need my feet on the

ground for the magnetic. I don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about, but I need that. So I go outside and I put my feet in the ground and I do some meditation and I do this thing called TemiSync. in the ground and I do some meditation and I do this thing called hemisync. It's two different frequencies in different ears and it tries to sync up your right hemisphere and your left hemisphere. I don't like, I don't like that. I'm going to say it to you and then I'll send it off to the YFTers. It's, it's kind of fun. And then it also does like the whole thing of like, it does a breathing exercise and then it talks, it walks you through a guided meditation of like putting your anxieties

in this big box and then like being able to walk away from it. I don't have anxiety. Everyone's got anxieties about something. No, I'm chilling. What about sadness or grief? I mean, things are pretty good. Shit.

What? You don't have any feelings? I have very little feelings. You know this. Yeah, that's true. But I just like, I just don't have anxiety. I would say I have some stress every now and then. You didn't have, okay, let me ask you this. It's different. You didn't have any anxiety before giving toast at Tisha's wedding?

I like to call that adrenaline. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's what a lot of like the pros do. They'll say that like, it's not anxiety, it's excitement.

And are those things building you up or sabotaging you? But also be curious of how you're getting in your own way. Number three, give 100% 100% of the time. That's such a fucking Tom Brady thing, dude. Sometimes I don't got 100%. Yeah, you do. Well, sometimes in the morning, I got 70% for you, you know? No, you've got 100. You just don't feel like giving 100. That's right. Tom says, make your mindset your default mode,

including when you're doing stuff you don't like. If you can get to that point, then even your worst day will be better than the average person's day. Yeah. If you're Tom fucking Brady, your bad days are better than everyone's best day. It's very true. You're a billionaire. You've won more rings than God. You're sleeping with supermodels. You're very handsome. He's fine. Fine. Or is he just fine?

He's fine. Whatever. Number four, master yourself. He says your goal should be to become the world's greatest expert on one subject. You. Oh, my God. That means being critical, but also being your own best friend. This is making me hate Tom Brady even more than I did beforehand.

And I didn't think that was possible as I'm not a Bostonian fan. Unless you're from Massachusetts, you don't like Tom Brady, you know? Really? I think so. I mean, he beat everyone's ass for so long. That's true.

Then he went down to Tampa Bay and did it again. And number five, decide to change. Being able to pivot and make changes is why you're unique and amazing. Quote, human beings can decide to shift and change to reinvent themselves to discover a whole new approach to their lives. In other words, you're in control. But only if you decide to be. Tom Brady, I hate you.

I know, but it's Tom Brady's favorite mantra he got from this mental fitness coach was, if it is to be, it's up to me. Was your mental fitness coach Dr. Seuss? It was meant to be. It's up to me. And I'll take three. Is it hairy? Tom Brady is now one of my least favorite things.

There we go. Fascinating. Yeah. of fave things, you got some? This isn't super new Maybe you've talked about it and I didn't remember Have you seen The Crowded Room? I did talk about this Is it worth it? Is it good? It's a little slow in the beginning I talked about it before and I'm pretty sure I know what's going on

Don't ruin it for me I'm only three episodes in Yeah, but it's good though. Tom Holland, Amanda Seidfried. Seidfried, yep. Seidfried. I gave it a ding before, yeah.

Okay. I have a new favorite thing. Ahsoka on Disney+. You love Disney+. It's Star Wars. Oh boy. It's so good. After the fall. Is it?

After the fall of the Galactic Empire, former Jedi Knight Ashoka Tano investigates an emerging threat to a vulnerable galaxy. Ashoka on Disney+. Only two episodes are out right now, but by the time this show comes out, the third one will be out.

And I gotta say, it's a feminist manifesto. So the main character, Ahsoka, is played by Rosario Dawson. Her Padawan or her apprentice is Natasha Lou Bordizo. So that's another girl. And then the general, who is also Ahsoka's best friend, is Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who she's great. The bad guy is played by Ray Stevenson, but then his apprentice, his Padawan, is this blonde girl named Shin Hei-Ti, and then, like,

there's an evil witch who's played by Morgan Elizabeth. It's just all a bunch of badass bitches using the Force in a galaxy far, far away. Using the Force? It's cool to use the Force. There's a magician, she's a witch, right? She's bad and she's a witch.

Sarah and I were watching and she was like, Sarah's in the kind of witchy stuff and whatever, mumbo jumbo. And she was like, do they have witches in Star Wars before? Lady, the force is magic. They're all witches. Except these guys

have laser plasma wands. And they call them lightsabers. I highly recommend it. I know we have a lot of female listeners. And I think that you guys should all go watch it. It's very good. I feel like a lot of girls like Star Wars. Dude, it's the best.

Okay. Please, for the love of God, tell me that you have seen the new season of The Ultimatum. No. is it good what it's so good it is it yes okay so i thought season one was dramatic and juicy holy shit these couples are batshit crazy yeah yeah yeah none of them have any business being with each other like all four of these couples four five however many there are none of them should be together why not it's literally insane okay let me just pull up some names here so they're at this like halfway point where new episodes are coming out wednesday so the day this episode drops

there'll be more episodes that i haven't seen yet all right so you have james and ryan first of all they look 12 probably are they oh 24 years old yep 12 everybody's like 24 they've been together for seven years so long time that middle middle school yeah i was met in middle school she's beautiful i think she's she's the prettiest girl on the show i think she's gorge he's a complete dork he just seems like uber complacent to just like date and not like propose to her or you know take the next step or anything like he just seems like piece of cardboard and she gave the ultimatum and she wants to get freaking married it's been seven years and i'm like bro she's so hot what are you doing if you don't propose to her somebody else is gonna swoop her

because she's amazing and you're a dud and like you got to pull it together so there's that one then you have lisa and brian i don't even know where to start with lisa okay i don't even know where to start home girl is absolute batshit crazy but i'm kind of here for it because it's so freaking entertaining i don't want to ruin it for you but let me just say they don't stick around long and the exit is interesting and i i need you to watch at least the first couple episodes so we can discuss the exit because i need to know if we think that it's legit or not so that's that what is the ultimate mon netflix okay honestly like the crazy thing is if they had stayed i think the entire show would have been so different because with them leaving it gave less you know less match-ups for you know everyone has to choose somebody else to go live with for a few

weeks or whatever yeah and i really thought her dude brian was for sure all in on um this girl raya and so when he left like raya had to go with james and i could tell like that wasn't her first choice like it's just so interesting i i almost wish i could re-watch it you know without them leaving because i feel like that and like she's so nuts like whoever ended up with her would have it just would have been so good yeah um okay then you have cat and alex cat seems like the sweetest angel on the face of the planet just like such a good girl like so sweet so cute and her freaking boyfriend seems like a piece of shit these fucking guys like they just don't even know what they have they don't know what they have let me tell you guys something these girls specifically ryan and kat like you don't find these girls just

anywhere like girls are nuts okay well it's me the first one to tell you girls are psycho and you guys have two good cute beautiful girls that are good to you and you guys are treating them like shit. I'm not here for it. Okay. Poor cat gets paired up with Antonio who comes into the show with Roxanne. And my first thought when they walk in is what are these two doing together? These two people do not, should not be dating. Like the energy is just like immediately, like she's wearing the pants. He's a doormat. But they're both very good looking. That's the only thing I can really say about it. Okay, but so at first glance, you're like, Antonio, handsome guy, like kind of quiet, you know,

is letting this girl walk all over him. Like what a sweetie. Nope, nope. A few episodes in, I've decided that he's the psychopath. Honestly, they're both psycho. But he's nuts. He's got some screws loose. And poor Kat ends up with him. And my gosh gosh like by the end of this whole like first half i just feel so bad

for her and then roxanne ends up seeming like super two-faced because like in the beginning like she kind of seemed like yeah she's a little crazy and she's got some things but that's you know she kind of owns it and then like halfway through this first half you kind of find out that she's like telling she ends up with the douchebag guy that was with Kat so they basically like swap Alex so basically it seems like she's telling Alex one thing and kind of playing along and pretending like she likes him and might want to leave with him even tells his parents that and then like goes back to her man and starts like and and goes to Alex's girl Kat and like is dogging him and like saying all the shit behind his back.

It's absolutely crazy. You gave way too much information there. Okay. Well, you can edit this. I'm going to have to, but I want to watch it. And you're telling me everything that's happening on the show. No, there's still so much more. There's so much more.

And then you have precious, precious. No, you're still doing it. Precious Trey. That's with this girl raya it's confusing because there's raya and ryan and trey comes in with raya but then like he's with ryan for this trial marriage or whatever and i i just like ryan and trey you know there's one couple every season where you're like you guys didn't come here together but you belong together yeah that's how i feel about that couple. That was aired in Genevieve for me last year in Paradise. Yeah, see, it's like there's always one.

And obviously this season's only halfway done. I don't know what's going to happen, but man. That was a lot. That was a lot. And if Antonio and Roxanne end up together, it's literally the dumbest thing either one of them could ever do. They both need someone different. Yeah.

Okay, that's enough. That's enough of that. That was way too much. It's so good. I mean, you just named off so many names, too. You knew them right off the bat. But there's not even that many. That's the crazy thing.

Don't start. You're about to start talking about somebody else, and I'm going to say just don't do it. I was just going to say there's only four couples. Really? There's only four. Yeah. I could have sworn you said 17 different names there.

Well, there were five, and then one couple fucking drops out, and I need some answers on that. Okay, I'm going to watch that. I can't wait for the reunion because they're going to come back, and they're going to have to own what's going down. Speaking of dating shows, Love Island USA that Sarah hosts finally concluded. I'm really happy for Hannah and Marco. They were the winners.

Sorry, spoiler, but whatever. I want to reach out to Bergie because he left with his chick and I'm like, I don't buy it. But it's also his grandpa was like, I don't buy this either. Like this seems forced, but I want Bergie into the bachelor world. I can find that guy a girl. Don't you worry. All right. And I can teach him some things. He's getting, he's getting, he's getting notes. Yeah. Because I was kind of like the dorky guy on TV, and I had to kind of shake that off or whatnot. But he's getting advice from all the cool guys. He needs to get advice from the funny, likable guys, and that's me. Okay. And then last thing on reality TV shows, they announced the cast for Bachelor in Paradise. Did you see that?

I saw that. I did. I thought we could rip through it real quick. The one thing that I'm really surprised about is that they released the intro of the show as well. Oh, do they not normally do that? Never. And the reason why is because you're watching the first episode to see who comes down. And then usually- Oh, that's true so what i think they're gonna do is they'll start it a cold open without an intro i can't remember but i assume

people that don't come on day one are in the intro package for the second episode so you're gonna know who's coming it's a little bit of a spoiler it's not a little bit of a spoiler it is a spoiler my favorite thing is this year so we did a similar thing for me and Jesse's thing. Last year, I think he threw a coconut and I caught it and I poured it in to a glass. This year, similar thing. He's eating a burrito and he like throws it behind his back and then I catch it and then I take a bite. It's cool. Whatever.

What's funny about it is like the continuity of it. It's so terrible because I wasn't there when Jesse did it. So I, because if I had known this, I would have been like, you have to throw me a burrito with a bite taken out of it. Cause he's taken on a bite, but I catch a full, he, he takes a bite, throws it. And then I catch a full burrito and I'm like, the continuity is horrible, but maybe it's, that's why it's good because it's so bad. So bad. Yeah. Maybe let's go through the cast real quick. Okay. I'm excited about it. The first name that they announced was Aaron Bryant, which I imagine that's your guy. Which one's that?

Aaron. Oh, love him. Aaron B. How long? The tracks. Last episode, you were telling me how much you love this guy and how- You got to call him Aaron B. That's what I know him as. My bad.

Anyways. Aaron B. You think Aaron I know him as. My bad. Anyways. Aaron B. You think Aaron B is going to find love? That's like calling John B. Like John whatever. Brown. Yeah. I don't know.

Well, sorry. I said Aaron. Who does Aaron end up with? I love him. You know I can't say what happens there. I just need to know. Do you think that he's going to find love? Nah.

Yeah. Okay. The next guy up is Aaron Schwartzman. Aaron S. Oh, yeah. He kind of bugged me on The Bachelorette a little. Yeah, I could see that. I could see that for sure.

Yeah. Up next, Blake Moynes. Why is he back? He loves doing these shows. I'll tell you that. I made the joke. I was like, you might be the only guy who's been on more shows than me. Why is he back? He loves doing these shows. I'll tell you that. I made the joke. I was like, you might be the only guy who's been on more shows than me. Why is he back?

Because he needed to find love. He thought he found it with someone, and then he didn't. And then he thought he found it with Katie Thurston, and then he didn't. And then now he might find it with somebody else. I don't think. He has been on a lot of shows. I will say that. Is he a hot commodity or no?

Yeah. I'll say this. Yeah? I mean, he's a lot of shows. I will say that. Is he a hot commodity or no? Yeah. I'll say this. Yeah? I mean, he's a very handsome guy, and he's like, his whole thing is he goes to Africa to save rhinos. Yeah, that's cute. He's a good guy. Yeah, yeah. I think that Blake Moynes is too smart for this show.

He's too much of an adult, I think, is what I'm trying to say. Well, that's what I'm saying. Why is he back? Yeah. Speaking of people that might not be intellectually all there for the show, up next, Brayden. Oh, my God. Brayden and his earrings. The fact that he gets with Kat makes me so mad because she's so beautiful.

How do you know that? What do you do in Kat? How do you know that? Because they talked about it after the final rose or whatever. Oh, I didn't watch that, so I didn't know. Uh-huh. Well, he's coming with his earrings and his scarves and... Apparently, he also makes out with Rachel.

How do you know that? It's on after the final rose. Are they even trying to keep things quiet this time around? No. They sat Rachel next to him and said, Oh, my God. Oh, these two have a thing in paradise. But then it shows the promo video and it's Kat making out with him.

So it's like they're just giving a lot away. I can't believe people aren't watching the show as much as they used to these days. It's a shocker to me. Shocking. That would be like if you sat down for episode one of Friends and were like, hey, by the way, Ross and Rachel, fuck, it's going to be annoying, but we're going to be doing it for a long time. Hope you enjoy this first episode.

Way to go, production. Brooklyn, she's coming. She's the rodeo girl. Classic, yeah. She'll do well in Paradise. Yep, and then you have Eliza. She's back for round two. Oh, I love her. She was the one who kind of broke Rodney's heart last year. I know.

She might be, this is a very bold statement, she might be the prettiest woman I think we've ever had on the show. She's gorg. She is a Disney princess. Oh, yeah, Greer coming back. Oh, yeah. Greer was the one who got some hot water for some

questionable tweets in college or something. So we'll see how that plays out with her. Then you have Jess, Glitter Jess, who puts glitter on everything. I love Jess. Who does Jess get with? I want to know. I'm not telling you, but she is

a hot commodity. She's so cute. I'm not telling you, but she is a, I think she's a hot commodity. She's so cute. Yeah. You know. I think so, yeah. And then you have Kat, who apparently is hooking up with Brayden that I didn't know about, but it's not me spoiling it because the show already did. Then you have

Kylie. She's coming back. She likes Kassandrama. Oh, that's the one I wanted to set up with Trace that one time. Oh, really? Oh, that's right. I like her. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's fun. Oh, that's the one I wanted to set up with Trace that one time. Oh, really? Oh, that's right. I like her. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's fun. Oh, then you have Mercedes. I like her. I like Mercedes, too. She looks very paradise-y. She does. Exotic

looking and stuff. And then you have Pilot Pete number two. I'm confused by him. He's a pilot whose name is Pete, and so we've got two of them now. I don't know. That's kind of as much as I can tell you. Okay. Super weird.

Yeah. And then we have for the second time in Bachelor in Paradise history a lead coming down to date the boys in Pilot Rachel. So we have two pilots on the show. Two pilots. Maybe we can do a date where they do the mile high situation.

Oh, that'd be cute. Yeah, that'd be good. Yeah. And then you have this girl named Sam who comes on the show. Oh yeah, who is that? If I'm being honest, I don't really know.

Where'd she come from? She came from the Bachelor world, but I do know in like, in some teaser, she talks about how she can't poop. So. I did see that. Also, very annoyed that they released that information

because it's one of my favorite things that happens this year. And you're like, why are you telling all the funny things? I know. Does she know about suppositories? This is airing and I can divulge more of like the behind the scenes of what happened. It's hilarious. But I really wanted to be like, let me take you in to say elita proper and let me get you a glass of tap water

water yeah we'll fix this lickety fucking split also this guy named sean who kind of looks like the bad guy in a disney movie or something oh barbie the barbie guy yeah he looks like ken he looks like ken yeah i like him and then you, yeah, yeah. I like him. And then you have Kat. She's a cat person. Oh, that Kat. The other Kat. Yep. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's good TV. She's good TV. And then this girl Olivia, she's on it. And then Jesse and Wells. And there you go. What about Tanner? Does he go? You gotta wait and see.

But that's the initial cast, obviously. Right. It is! It's fine! It is fine. fine it is fine is it fine no it's fine everything's fine everything's gonna be fine fine they're gonna play golden bachelor and then they're gonna have bachelor Bachelor in Paradise afterwards, which, interesting. Very. Interesting. See how that plays out. But that's that.

Other favorite things. Yeah, it should be good. Even though they told the secrets. It's fine, whatever. They did tell the secrets. This is the first time that I'm going to call production and yell at them for telling secrets. Because usually they're like, dude, what are you doing?

Man, you are ruining this for all of us! By the way, there was a lady on the plane back from the noog that had a child in her lap. I am much more sympathetic to people flying with children than Brandy is. Brandy is a cold-hearted, black-souled lady when it comes to flying with children. It wasn't the child that bugged me. It was the fucking woman. Okay. So she had this little baby, this little baby in her lap. This is what she was doing the whole time. She's going shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh,

shh, shh, shh. The fucking child wasn't crying. Why are you pacifying and shushing a child when they're not crying? I was like, I'm gonna start crying, lady, if you keep on shushing. I turned around and looked at her and was like, what the fuck's going on? This child isn't crying. And the whole time she was talking to this child,

like it was like a normal, this was like a brand new baby. It wasn't even like an infant who was like saying words, right? So I'm all for like talking to children like normal people, but whatever. This baby was a goo-goo-ga-ga baby. And this is what she was going, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

And then she started going, we're going, because we were on the way to Dallas. She was like, we're going to Dallas. You're my little Dallas girl. Never thought I'd say that. You're my little Dallas girl never thought I'd say that you're my little Texas girl my Texas girl my Texas girl my Texas girl she would not stop fucking saying this and I have noise canceling headphones on and I'm hearing this woman and so I'm like whatever you know I was like you know I gotta turn up my vibration my frequency i can't let this get me down so i'm leaving the plane i'm with my brother and i was

like how fucking annoying was that woman he was like oh my god i wanted to kill her he was like what was the shishing about and i was like i don't even know the baby wasn't even crying sorry i have two things to say tell me all about them number one google this real quick okay uh the amount of yft years that have messaged me about this in the past two days is astronomical. There is an airline in Europe that is making specific flights for adults only. You have to be 16 or older to get on the plane. Give me a ding. They finally listened to me, and they're making kid-free flights, baby.

Airline is making an adults-only section of the plane that is only for passengers ages 16 and older barstool sports you heard it here first this is exactly what i pitched someone listened to our podcast and they thought what a genius idea to put kids in the back of the plane i'm serious it's such a coincidence you know know? Like, I just talked about this. I know. And now all of a sudden it's a thing. That's all I'm saying. I have a question for you.

I saw something on TikTok that I thought was very interesting, and I wanted to play it for you and then get your opinion about it. And I already know that you're not going to give me any good juice or whatnot, but I'm still going to do it because I'm a man of the people, and the wife just wanted to know. All right. Okay. Do you know the crazy Miley Cyrus theory, do it because okay i'm a man of the people and the wife tears want to know all right okay do you know the crazy miley cyrus theory how she might be a ghost singer for many popular singers that have very successful songs right now who so recently mr wyatt made a video that many people

think exposes morgan wallen's voice so i want you to listen to this okay okay so you heard that, right? So now listen to what Mr. Wiref does now with the voice. So that was Morgan Wallen, obviously. Now let's pitch it up and see if it sounds like Miley Cyrus. And let me know in the comments if you think it does. Wait, what? I mean...

That's a little weird. That's Miley Cyrus. So I was looking at some music professionals that broke it down, and they said it's actually really rare for an artist to sound that similar to another artist like that. But hey, it could just be a coincidence. Who knows? That's Miley Cyrus. There's no way it's not.

Okay, I will say that that does sound a lot like Miley. Haven't I played this for you before? I think we've done this before, but other people are talking about it now. Well, the Morgan Wallen one's been a thing. She ain't singing Morgan Wallen songs, I'll tell you that right now. If we're being fair, that's actually a Jason Isbell song. You know what I mean, though. There are other singers that do sing for other people.

I want to say Sia sings a lot for other singers. One of the conspiracy theories is that J-Lo does not sing. I can see it. Yeah, I mean, she was a background dancer, and now she's a singer? One of the conspiracy theories is that J-Lo does not sing. I can see it. Yeah. I mean, she was a background dancer and now she's a singer? Yeah. I saw that you got on the girl dinner trend. Sarah, yeah.

She said I was doing girl dinner. It looked like a delicious snack dinner. Yeah, it was a snack. So this is what I like to do. Sarah's friend, Katie Stevens, was like, she said, that's not girl dinner. That's pregnant girl dinner. So what I like to do is I like to slice up some pickles and then get a couple different types of Dijon mustards and have a little dipping sauce with the pickle. One of my favorite things. I didn't have it, but sometimes when I have it, if I have some salami, they're

in there. Let me just tell you what that is. That's not a girl dinner. You know what that is? What's that? A shitty charcuterie board is what that is. Okay. So this guy who I follow on TikTok, who I think is absolutely hilarious, he like made a video of like every European pop song he's ever heard and like created a music video for it. And it's so freaking funny. And I wanted to play this last week but i saw the jonas brothers were like hey dude do you want to come on to come to the show and so they came to a jonas brother show perform this song and they filmed the crowd and the crowd was like what the fuck are we watching but i love it because i realize it's a joke. Play a little bit right here. Life, it never die.

Women are my favorite guy. Sex, I'm wanting more. Tell the world, stop the war. Boom, hear the bass go zoom. Have a body, feel the groove. Cyber system overload. Everybody move, man. All of the dream.

Oh, does it mean When the rhythm is right There is nothing to be sad Danger and dance Clapping behind When we're out in this space It's the lyrics that are funny. They're insane. It's such a European song because it doesn't make any fucking sense. The English is so bad. bad anyways i wanted to play

this to be like this is one of my favorite things and then i saw the jonas brothers had them on stage to play that song and just go like go look it up the crowd is like what is this that's good stuff the joe bro this might be something that this is like an obviously wells your add but i don't know people know that but i was diagnosed with adhd as a child and i had to like take tests in different rooms and like i had to take a lot of ritalin which i fucking hated i've now like migrated into the t world for people with ADHD or neurodivergent, I think is what they're called. Are you ADHD? No. Is anyone in your family? Yeah, Trace. He took Ritalin for a long time. Okay. I thought like I'd kind of gotten over my ADHD. I'm a pretty

functioning adult with like working and like getting things done and everything. But I realized, no, I think I've just like kind of figured out how to live my life with it. But this girl talks about stupid things to do around people with ADHD and it hit home so freaking hard. If your partner has ADHD, listen to me because you need me. Don't talk to them when they're doing something. Are they reading? Are they getting work done? Are they on their phone? Did you talk to them when they're doing something. Are they reading? Are they getting work done? Are they on their phone? Did you talk to them?

You're stupid. Okay. You're stupid. I know this is hard to understand for people who have normal brains. But if I am working on something and Sarah comes and talks to me, I'm like, I'm working on something. You need to leave me alone. You got to let me fit. You gotta let me fit. I gotta focus on this.

And I think it's because it's so easy for my brain to like bebop around that when I am focused on something and someone comes to like distract me, I'm like, fucking short circuit. When you're telling a story, get to the point. Oh God. Don't repeat yourself. We're not dumb.

We're smarter than you. We get it. When't repeat yourself. We're not dumb. We're smarter than you. We get it. When you repeat, we hate you for that. That's stupid to do. Oh, my God. It's so true. That's not the truth. Sarah does the same thing. She tells stories

and they just, there's no ending. They just keep going and she circles back around and I'm like. You're like, no. Where is the point? Is there a punchline? Is there an ending to this? And there never is.

No, never. And I love her dearly. And I realized that, I realized now that it's not, I'm not annoyed at her. It's anything that I'm trying to focus on. If you give me things to start meandering off from, I'm like, I can't. Where are we going?

The story's going in too many different places. What's happening? And it's the same thing. If I'm focusing on work and someone comes to talk to me, I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I got to focus on this. I'll talk to you about that after this thing. Well, speaking of pills, I finished Painkiller.

Did you like it? I loved it. You did. It was so sad. Yeah, it's tough. I didn't realize Peter Berg did it, which makes a lot of sense because he puts Taylor Kitsch in literally everything he does. But it was so, so good.

Highly recommend. It is similar to Dope Sick. It's just like a scripted version basically and the acting is really great highly recommend great show taylor kitch it's so crazy to see him play a character like in his mid 40s like that like i'm like fuck i am old if taylor kitch is playing a 40 something you know what it made me think of? I hurt my hand like three weeks ago. You know, I'm almost 40 now and like it still hurts. We're like almost to a month and my hand isn't fixed. But I'm not taking painkillers or anything for it. But here's what sucks about growing up. You have to be very

careful to not hurt yourself because you never heal anymore. Your body just is like, nope, we're just not going to do it. You're just going to live with this limp. It's fine. Or you're going to be addicted to painkillers. Do you remember when you were young and you hurt yourself playing like recess? Yeah. Next day, fine.

Yeah. Nope. I played rugby in college. I was getting concussions left, right, and center. AC joints out of fucking whack. I broke my leg in three places. I have more metal in my leg than in my car outside. If that happened to me now, good luck.

I'll be like, Doc, just cut it off. Oh my gosh, no you would not. We know it's not going to ever feel better. Just cut it off. No. I have a book rec. Oh yeah? By the way, I finished Fourth No. I have a book rec. Oh, yeah? By the way, I finished Fourth Wing.

That was the book about the kid that went to, like, dragon riding school. And then so fucking awesome. Also very sexual. I think I said that already. But I finished it. Yeah, you said that. I finished it. Ends with, like, obviously there's a book, too.

So, like, I gotta read this. Not out until November. Oh. Oh, that's pretty soon. I know. I pre-ordered it. I pre like, oh, I gotta read this! Not out until November! Oh, that's pretty soon. I know, I pre-ordered it. I pre-ordered it. But I started listening to a book called Extracted. It's a very Wells book.

And actually also a very Brandeis book. Ooh, really? A scientist has invented a time machine that reveals a shocking fact. By 2111, the world has ended. Cue three unlikely heroes who are extracted from their timelines at the point of death to change the future. Extracted. Sounds great.

Yeah, it's good. Like the first guy is a guy who's an insurance adjuster doing an insurance adjustment thing for like the subway. He sees like some weird stuff happening down in the subway and he realized it's a bombing. And he just like goes full zero dark 30 on everyone, just starts killing everybody and like saving lives and doing all this stuff. And then, yeah, then he gets extracted.

And the second guy is just like badass guy from World War II. Oh, I'm only in the third chapter. I'm in the second chapter. Wow, that sounds great. Highly recommend. All right, you got some musics? I got some musics.

What do you got? Well, my sister released a new song. I'm sure you've heard it. Oh. What? Come on. Yes, you have. I don't know if I have.

Maybe I have. No, it's called... Okay, so this... I've had so many wives here ask me, is this the song you were talking about? I guess I accidentally, without knowing, caused a bunch of drama with the Miley fans last year when she released the album,

because I guess on this podcast, I said that my favorite song of hers hasn't been released yet. And so everybody went nuts and like, what does that mean? Does that mean she's got another album? Does that mean this? Does it mean that? Oh God. What it meant, which I couldn't say,

is that there was just a song that was originally part of all the tracks you know that we had been played for for endless summer vacation that i guess at the last minute they decided to hold until now and the song's called used to be young and it's my favorite song she's ever written okay that's a bold statement by the way i know it's just so good the music video is great and And then she also did like a, I think it was on ABC actually, kind of like a behind the scenes, like talking about it and stuff. You want to go out on it? Yeah. All right.

What do you got coming up next week? I got a horse show next week. I'm back to that. Nice. Stargirl's better? Yeah. No, Stargirl's still on her semi-retirement, and I leased a new horse just to get me through the winter

His name's Player And he's perfect And his full name is Play-to-win But they call him Player So I'm taking him to the horse show next week Very cool What are you doing? I am traveling

You're just constantly traveling. I know. I'm going to a wedding. Where are you going? I'm going to a wedding. Ah. I'll have some good stories on the way, on the, on the, on the comeback though. I promise you that.

That's good. Yeah. That's a tease for you. Wedding stories are great. I have some weddings coming up too, so I'll have some good wedding tea too. And you know what? This is the second wedding I've been to since my own wedding. I'm getting fucked up at this wedding.

Fucked up. I love that for you. Yeah. All right, YFTers, we love you. Love y'all. And this is a song called Used to Be Young. I used to be young, too. And when I'd get hurt, I would heal.

Not any longer. Not no more. Not no more. Can't you do a song called now that I'm old it fucking sucks because I'm always hurt my knees always hurt Oh, yeah.
