thing. Do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh my God. I'm just going to be honest with you guys because you know what? We're a family. All you YFTers out there are part of my family
and you don't lie to your family. So I'm not going to lie to you. I don't know if this is
going to be a very good show because, well, I got about two hours of sleep last night and I'm not doing great.
Okay?
This freaking show, Bachelor in Paradise, is trying to kill me.
Let's start the other show that's not trying to kill me.
Let's call it a brain-der.
Oh, my God, so loud.
Hey, let's fucking pump the brakes on that.
I tell you what.
Tell me what.
When you can't even get a photo cred from your own damn family, what's left of this world, you know?
What happened?
Miley just posted like three photos from Hawaii.
No photo credit, even though I took all of the incredible photos that she has from the trip.
Gotta love your fam. Why don't you just text her and say,
hey, Cyrus Miley, where's the cred? I commented. I said, I wonder who took this incredible content.
It's funny you opened with Can't Trust Your Family, and I was just telling the YFTers that they're my family. We consider all of them out there family. And the number one rule of families
is you don't lie to your family.
And how this might be a hot garbage episode for me.
Hot garbage.
I mean, if your hair is any indication
of the state you're in, I'm worried.
I just jumped in the pool
because your boy needed to wake up.
Because I'll just put this in context for you.
My call time yesterday was 8 p.m.
I wrapped at 6.30 in the morning.
That, no.
They're not paying you enough.
So anyways, I don't even,
I feel like a robot right now or like I just feel something's not right.
I mean, we could have done this later.
Oh, no.
Because I got to go back to work in an hour and a half.
No.
Dude, it never ends, man.
You know, everyone wants this fucking job until they get it.
I'll tell you that much.
I believe that.
Yeah.
We can say where you were, though.
Yeah, I'm home, so I can finally say where I was.
I actually was just reading through some comments on Instagram, and somebody just wrote, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Were you in Hawaii while Wells was trashing Hawaii?
And I was like, yeah, yeah, I was.
I wasn't trashing Hawaii per se.
I was really building up Mexico.
Right.
Everything I said about Hawaii is true.
They don't want us there.
They don't.
I also had someone comment and say something shitty about like, we don't want tourists here.
Yeah.
You're trash.
And it's like, okay, listen, nobody wants tourists. Do you think I want a bunch of drunk, basic white girls walking down Broadway, you know, and filling up
all the fricking dinner reservations where I can't even get in to eat dinner in my own city? No,
but tourism keeps the city alive. That's just the, that's how it is. Tourism keeps everybody
alive. Tourism income is necessary in most cases.
And I hate to break it to you,
but you know,
our money is helping keeping businesses afloat in Hawaii.
So very true.
I don't know what to tell you.
Yeah.
How are you going to afford your Kona beer and your luau's?
If you got no money coming in from stupid American,
even though it is America.
It's America.
Can you be a tourist in your own country?
I mean, technically, I guess you're a tourist if you're visiting somewhere you don't live.
I don't know.
But listen, I get it.
I get it.
Tourists suck.
But I will say we were on Kauai, which is like the furthest little island and the most remote, I guess is how I would say it.
And it was the least touristy place I've ever been in my whole life, ever.
Like it really wasn't crowded anywhere.
Nobody was out with cameras.
You know what I mean?
Like when you go visit anywhere else, especially like Europe or something, there's just people just taking photos of everything, cameras out, selfie sticks, like
none of that shit.
So I don't know what they're complaining about because they've got it pretty good.
We got a lot more to complain about in this country than fucking tourism right now.
All right.
How do you feel since you're struggling?
Yeah.
How do you feel about getting Tish on the pod for a sec today?
About what?
We had a near-death experience in Hawaii.
Okay. And I really feel like having Tish come on to help explain it would be really great. All for it. the pod for a sec today about what we had a near-death experience in hawaii okay uh and i
really feel like having tish come on to help explain it would be really great all for it are
you yeah but i do feel like you kind of missed my segue into talking about yeah i wasn't listening
shitty this country is and oh i feel like we need to say something about it because I don't know. We might be in the end of days.
I don't know what's happening.
I feel like every time I turn the news on, I am taking crazy pills.
Do you feel that way?
I don't watch the news because it's all so terrible.
But you're aware of what's happening in the country.
Oh, absolutely.
Listen, I get news from different sources, but I will never be that person that has CNN running in the background 24-7
like my dad does that because it's so depressing.
Like, how do you have any sort of positive outlook on life
when you're listening and watching the news 24-7?
I mean, do you want to talk about Roe v. Wade before we start this show?
I mean, let's talk.
It's fucked up.
Yeah.
It is the most fucked up.
Yeah. I mean, the fact that someone could be having like health problems and it's it doesn't make any sense to
i can feel like i'm taking crazy pills and i feel like there's nothing that i can do feel like
completely hopeless and helpless and like yeah i keep on voting for this thing that should have
been codified fucking 50 years ago i don't even understand why this was ever even an issue. I'm just as angry at the Democrats as I am with the
Republicans. The Republicans have been pushing this agenda forever and we've known that and the
Democrats didn't do anything to fucking codify this amendment and it just fucking annoys me.
And all it's going to do, aside from the fact that it's going to make fucking abortions still
prevalent in this country, but more dangerous, all it's going to fucking do is just make poor states poorer and that's fucking
frustrating coming from someone who lives in the third largest economy in the world in california
who pays for all these fucking poor states aside from the fact that like this is just so fucked up
it's just making wealth inequality more prevalent in this country. And it's very frustrating.
Yeah, I mean, you said that very well.
The conservative agenda makes no sense to me because so much of it is creating people
who are going to be poor, who are going to be asking for welfare and social services
to help them raise these kids.
And it's the thing that they complain about the most is
that the poor people are always leeching off society, but you're creating the problem.
So it's like, what do you, I don't, and I haven't slept really in a while. And so like, I'm probably
not verbalizing this correctly. I'm also just a white man. I probably shouldn't be talking about
it, but it's just very frustrating. And I don't know, how do you feel? Um, I mean, you're, I agree with everything you're saying.
And obviously I've never, like, well, I've never, I've never been in the position where I've needed
to get an abortion or, or I've never been pregnant, never had a kid. Like, so I can't really
talk from any kind of experience at all, but I do know that if I did get pregnant, I would absolutely want to be able to decide whether I was going to go through it with it or not.
And I think like, if I feel that way, I can only imagine how other people feel that are less able financially to have a kid or whatnot, or, you know what I mean?
Like it just, the bottom line is it should be it should
be your own fucking choice and the freaking men that are making these decisions for us like have
just have no fucking clue they have no fucking responsibility and you know everyone's posting
all these different things about like well if you're gonna make this a rule then it should be
like a law that you know every every single birth is DNA tested and whoever
the paternal dad is should have to have financial responsibility for that baby. Like that, you know
what I mean? Like, it's just so easy for men to say like, oh yeah, you have to have it because
they have absolutely zero responsibility, zero. And that's what's so un-fucking-fair. And it's
just like, you know what, as women, like there is a choice, there is an option. And the fact that
men are
taking that away from us is fucking ridiculous and that's how i feel 100 and let me tell you
this and i believe this with 100 of my body and my bones if men were getting pregnant and not women
you could get a fucking abortion at a cracker barrel if you wanted you could get it at a
goddamn walmart yeah here's my other issue The world is insanely overpopulated. There are so
many homeless children, children without parents, children living in poverty.
For me, I don't really think I want kids. I've just never really thought I wanted kids. I'm not
saying that I wouldn't change my mind, but I'm saying that in this moment, I don't feel like I
want kids. But if I did, I really feel like I would adopt. And so this kind of leads back to like, if you're going to
force people to have babies, they don't want, you're just adding to the number of kids in,
in foster care of kids that are homeless, of kids that are in poverty, of kids that don't have a
family of kids that don't have parents. Like you're just adding to that number. If you're
forcing people to have children and that's something else that's really frustrating to me. I agree. Anyways.
Should we
stop talking about this and just like do
our favorite things instead of our least favorite things?
Yeah. I mean, I think it's
we spoke on it, which I think is important.
And now I think we can start the
show. Yeah. And
lighten it up. Okay.
I think it's you. Because we got, I mean, we
got to have some light and positivity in this world, you know?
I know.
Because it is dark.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it's you.
Bros and hoes.

Well, I'd love to lighten the mood and cheer you guys up by telling you about how we almost drowned in Hawaii.
Let me hear it.
Let me see if I can get my mother on the phone.
What up? What up? Mother up mother yes how stoned are you
not enough not enough okay but you are a little stoned not at all no no it's 10 a.m well that
didn't stop you in hawaii i know but in hawaii was just chill. I got work to do. Got it. Well,
I'm on with Wells. Wells? Hi, Wells. Hey, Tish the Dish. I miss you. Wells is having a rough
morning because he was filming until 6.30 AM and he has to go back to film in like an hour.
What's he filming? Bachelor in Paradise. Got got it so we were just talking about how depressing
the whole roe versus wade situation is and i was like let's lighten up by telling the y of tears
about how we almost drowned in hawaii when i tell people about it they don't actually understand
that like six of us truly almost died wells it, it was insane. We almost lost the whole crew.
It was not okay.
It wasn't.
I haven't like even set the scene or anything here.
So basically, I don't know like if any of y'all have been to Hawaii,
but the waters are pretty rough.
So, you know, that's like a pretty common knowledge thing.
People, I mean, it's like surfing capital, like big waves, rough waters.
So when my mom's like, we're going to do a boat day, I loved so much in greece on our yacht like a boat day would just be so great and
i remember thinking like i don't know if this is gonna quite be like greece like i don't know if
this is gonna be what she has in mind but i was like all right i love a boat like sure so we get
on this boat and not to say it wasn't nice but it was definitely more of like a fishing boat. It wasn't like a nice, like, right?
Like it wasn't like a yacht, like meant for relaxing.
In Greece, we were having dinner on the back deck looking at the sunset.
This was not that.
This was not that.
So we start driving out and don't get me wrong, super sickening opportunity to get to, to
boat along the Nepali coast.
Like not everyone gets to do that.
You know, I don't know if you guys know, but Kauai, like most of its wilderness, like the road doesn't even keep going around the entire coast.
The Nepali coast, for the most part, has no road.
And the only way in is to hike in, boat in, or helicopter along the coast.
So to get to see it from a boat is sickening.
And it was very cool, but we're driving out and the water is rough. I mean, we're bouncing around,
we're getting splashed by water, you know, and then we get out and then we get out there a little
ways and they stop the boat and they're like, we're going to drop the anchor here. And if you
guys want to swim into this beach that no one can get to, you know, unless they hike in, that's like the thing.
Like that's what we're going to do is we're going to jump off and swim into this beach.
Can I preface something?
Yes.
The fact that they were going to do the hike and were going to bring me along, but I happened to look it up and it said that people have to be helicoptered out because it's so hard to hike.
And that people drown because they get in the ocean. Now,
I did not realize we were in the spot that they were talking about. Yeah. So Miley and I were
going to do this, this hike. It's the hike that the only way to see this part of Kauai is to hike
in. And it's, and it is like, if you Google it, it's like, it's, you know, it's a pretty tough
hike. Like it's 11 miles, the whole thing you can hike in and just, you can hike in and just do like
a two or four mile situation, but you've got to wade through water, like up to your knees in water.
I mean, it's steep inclines. Like you're just to have like proper hiking gear. And we did not have
that. And then my mom's like, Oh yeah. And apparently the beach you're going to go to,
it like has the most drownings of anywhere in Hawaii. And we were like, all right,
so we probably shouldn't do this hike, but little did we know we'd be going to that same beach on this boat. And so here's the thing. I'm not a good
swimmer. My mother forced me to do swim lessons for years as a child. I absolutely hated it.
Let's talk about thank God or you would be dead by now.
I hated swim lessons. I wasn't good at it to this day. I don't like getting in the water.
It terrifies me. I'm not a good swimmer. It's not enjoyable for me. I hate it, but we're in Hawaii and we're on this boat and like everyone else is like, yeah, let's go and
jump in. It's all happening real fast. We're just jumping in the water here to swim to this beach.
And I'm like, well, I can't sit here alone on a boat in the middle of the ocean. Like that's just
as scary, you know? And so everyone's just jumping in. And I was like, yeah. Okay. So they had one
standup paddleboard and they were like, yeah. Okay. So they had one standup
paddleboard and they were like, if you want, you can get on the paddleboard and we'll push you
into the beach or whatever. My mom's like, well, I want to do that too, even though she's a good
swimmer. And so we both got on this paddleboard, but once we were both on it, I was like, this is
stupid. Like we both can't ride this paddleboard in because you can't, you have to, you have to
lay down and paddle like on your stomach, like a surfboard. You can't do that with two people.
So we're on this paddleboard and I looked to my left and our friend Ben that's with us has this big smile on his face
and he's swimming and he looks like he's having a great time and he's making it look so nice and
enjoyable. And I'm like, you know what? I'm going to make this easier on my mom and this guy that's
pushing her. I'm just going to hop in the water and swim like Ben is chilling. Like it's fine.
Biggest mistake of my fricking life. I get in this water. It is the roughest water. So scary waves coming over your head.
Guys, I wear contacts without them. I'm legally blind, legally blind. Cannot see if I lose a
contact. I'm dead. Like I'm dead and I'm swimming, but I'm not going anywhere. Like it was the,
and we're swimming towards shore. You would, I thought the waves were going to push me in like a normal ocean, like in Florida. We're like churning in
the sea. It's terrifying. And the only person I can see has been, and I hated every minute of it
and somehow made it to the fricking beach. I saw Brandy jump off the paddleboard. So I'm like,
if she can swim to shore, I most definitely can. Cause I'm a great swimmer. And I literally have never, like, I have had one other near-death experience in the water that I'm not even going to go into at this moment.
But it's a good one.
That was a rip current, too.
That was a rip current in South Carolina.
And somebody was in the ocean with me and left me to fend for my foul.
Not going to say who, but, you know.
Anyway. me and left me to fend for my foul not gonna say who but you know anyway so that was the only other
time I thought I was gonna drown till this time and it was not okay because this guy kept telling
me that I could touch the ground touch the sand which I absolutely could not and just as I thought
this was my last last breath and I'm so upset because I'm living my best life ever.
And I'm like, shit, you know what?
I'm living my best life and I'm going down.
I mean, I guess it could have been worse.
I could have, I mean, drowning in Kauai would, I guess, actually not be the worst thing possible.
It was just not great timing for me.
But the best part of the whole story is getting
back. But here's the thing is when we get to this beach, I'm sitting here thinking like,
uh, you know, I, everyone else was probably fine. Uh, we get on the beach and everyone's like,
uh, were you freaked? And Miley's like a phenomenal swimmer. She's been surfing before.
She loves the ocean, loves to swim. And we get on the beach and Miley's like,
I thought I was going to die. Like I literally panicked.
Miley was so freaked.
No way in hell am I swimming back.
I was like, no way.
There's no chance.
Like there was no way I could swim back.
So like I couldn't even enjoy this beautiful beach that hardly anyone ever gets to see because it's hard to get to because I was so panicked about how we were going to get back.
So we dick around on this beach for like 30 minutes.
You were pacing. I was pacing. But M how we were going to get back. So we dick around on this beach for like 30 minutes. Oh, you were pacing.
You were pacing. I was pacing, but Miley was like doing yoga.
We're all just like procrastinating because we don't want to swim back.
And be honest, Tish was stoned.
Tish was stoned as hell.
She somehow made it to the beach with her Tom Ford sunglasses and her hat on.
And the rest of us had nothing.
What are we going to do do and we're spiraling so we
just assume that the guys from the boat know we're spiraling know we almost drowned and are planning
how to get us back uh-uh they're like all right it's time to go and we're like so what's the plan
and they're like what do you mean what's the plan you swim back and we're like no we're like we're
not doing that we literally all of us died. I said, I'm thinking helicopter.
My mom wanted to call a helicopter.
Miley and I wanted to just hike out barefoot.
We were like, honestly, I would rather hike out barefoot with no phone and no water than
swim back to that boat.
Like, I can't do it.
I will die.
Long story short, we have this one fucking paddleboard and we each get like one by one,
make these guys from the boat push us back on the paddleboard back and forth like a fucking water taxi.
Oh, thank God there were no paparazzi because me and Molly were on one.
And they kept saying, you have to lay down and paddle out like a surfer.
So Molly and I both do it.
My head is literally on Molly's ass.
Like it's insane.
on molly's ass like it's insane like molly's laying down crotch like legs spread paddling so i can lay down and i have my little head laying on molly's butt cheek paddling and all
i can think is please god do not let there be paparazzi it was insane but we did make it back
and then of course like we laughed about it on the way back because it was just so insane, but it was terrifying. And our, our, our whole thing
about it is like these guys that are from Kauai that do this all the time, like should have known
better than to take a bunch of people. I was very vocal about the fact that I am not a good swimmer,
very vocal about the fact that I was scared to get in the water and I'm not a good swimmer.
And for them to take us to that beach where it literally, if you Google it, it's the most
deaths by drowning of anywhere in Hawaii. That is the dumbest shit I've ever heard.
They should have known better. It seems crazy, but you and Molly and Brandy probably should
not continue to get on planes and boats together because we almost got going to Glastonbury. We
had two emergency landing, going back up in the sky problems, going to Glastonbury. We had two emergency landing,
going back up in the sky problems,
going to Glastonbury.
Our plane gets struck by lightning in South America
and we literally almost died in Kauai
because these dumbasses throw us off a boat
into the waters where eight people drowned
last week or something insane.
Like, it's not okay.
Literally, the captain of the boat on the way back to the,
the Marina was telling us a story about how his best friend or something just
did this hike and from the cliffs,
watch someone drown in the ocean.
Oh yeah.
Like literally last week,
just saw somebody drown.
Like why would you take us there?
And why is my dumb ass keep getting in the ocean realizing like there's
under toes and, but that hadn't happened in many years. Like we, you take us there? And why does my dumb ass keep getting in the ocean, realizing like there's undertoes?
But that hadn't happened in many years.
Like, we, I loved the water in the Bahamas.
I loved the water in Greece.
This was not the same. Whole different animal.
Jesus. Whole different animal.
Yeah. So,
we're alive to tell about it.
We're alive to tell about it.
I think the locals are just trying to kill
the tourists, and that's where they go.
Oh, that's probably true. Because they don't want us there.
Yeah. Alright, love you, Mother.
Oh, well, how's Wells?
He's good. He's just
sleep-deprived. Uh, Wells?
Tish! I know him, but this is not
the welcome I expected.
Well, you also can't hear him. No, I can't
hear him at all. Yeah, will you tell her that
I miss her and... He says he misses you. can't hear him. No, I can't hear him at all. Because I have you on the phone. Yeah, will you tell her that I miss her?
He says he misses you.
And I love her.
Love you, Will.
Tell Sarah hi.
I will.
All right.
See ya.
Bye, Will.
Bye.
She's nuts.
Yeah, well.
Well, I'm glad you guys didn't die.
Same.
It was really scary.
Yeah.
Listen, the ocean's a scary bitch, all right?
It's terrifying.
I knew I shouldn't have jumped in.
I got to start following my instincts better.
Yeah, don't do that.
When you go on vacation, you stay on the beach.
You don't go to dangerous beaches.
We didn't know.
Just a quick goog.
I'm sure a quick goog would have.
A quick goog.
There was no goog on the boat.
And then also on the drive back to the marina, we passed this other beach and he was like, Oh, yeah, that's the beach that Bethany.
What's her name?
Bethany.
Something that had her arm bit off by a shark.
A little surfer girl when she was young.
Yeah.
That's where she had that.
Oh, yeah. That's where Bethany, something that had her arm bit off by a shark, a little surfer girl when she was young. Yeah. That's where she had that. Oh, yeah, that's where Bethany, whatever.
That's where she had that shark attack in the water right there.
That's the beach we had been at yesterday.
It's like, why is this stuff not advertised?
Dude, it's crazy.
My hometown, someone got bit by a great white shark swimming outside of Point Lobos, I believe.
And there's video on the fucking internet.
You can see the shark come out and just take a chomp out of the sky.
So anyways, moral of the story is, stay the fuck out of the ocean, bro.
I'm serious.
You know?
Get in your infinity pool.
It seems like you're in the ocean, but you're not.
But the safe confines of the pool.
Yeah, I almost died in Cabo for Sarah's 30th birthday.
Trevor Einhorn saved me.
Well, do you have any favorite things?
Because right now we have talked about my least favorite thing of not sleeping, my very
least favorite thing about the fucking Supreme Court, your least favorite thing of almost
dying.
Do you have any favorite things or no?
Well, let me just give a quick run through of fave Hawaii things.
Okay.
Best poke I've ever had in my life.
Fresh caught, morning of. Hawaiian shaved ice. Okay. Best poke I've ever had in my life. Fresh caught, morning of.
Hawaiian shaved ice.
Yeah.
Not like it is here.
Here it's just ice with like a little bit of nasty artificial flavoring.
It is so fucking good in actual Hawaii.
They put ice cream in the bottom and they put fruit in it and it's so fluffy and creamy
and they put actual coconut cream on the top.
Chef's kiss.
Okay.
Don't sleep on the shaved ice.
If you go to Hawaii,
great trip,
loved it.
Highly recommend loved Kauai.
You can't imagine the other islands could be any better.
And that's all I'll say about that.
Actual fave things.
Oh,
I finished stranger things.
Very X-Men.
A lot of X-Men vibes in the,
in the,
especially in that finale,
that last episode.
How so?
I don't know. Just, I've always kind of gotten like an X-Men vibe, especially in that finale, that last episode. How so? I don't know.
I've always kind of gotten like an X-Men vibe out of the little powers they have, how they can just like whip their hands around and move people and objects and shit.
And like how they're all kids with these special powers.
It just sort of reminds me a lot of the X-Men.
And there's, I don't know, there was just something about, I don't even know his name, but the blonde guy that's the fucking, he's the villain.
You should find out he's the villain.
There was just something about it that felt, oh, spoiler i did say i finished it yeah there was just something about the whole scene and that whole story that just screamed x-men to me but
in a good way like i love the x-men and i loved it i was very shocked by that twist were you i
didn't foresee it but sarah of course did so did, so that's annoying. Another win for Sarah.
How did she do that? Because she knew
that actor is a big actor, and I, of course,
didn't know him or what he had done.
And she was like, there's no way that they're
having him just be like the office bitch.
And then she was right.
So do you think that that's
Eleven's dad? I don't
know. Because he's one, and he
was the most powerful of the first ones,
and then all the other kids weren't that
powerful, and so then they used
him to make... I don't know.
I was thinking that that would be her dad.
It is interesting that he didn't kill her
when she turned against him there towards the end.
Yeah. I mean, possibly.
I guess he just looks so young
that it's easy to think there's
no way, but I guess he could be.
Well, yeah, because now he is in the upside down, so he's older now.
Because you're watching her as a little girl, as a much younger girl or whatever.
And so now he's older, and I just think so.
I could see it.
I don't know.
It's a great show, though.
I'm excited for the second installment of season whatever four. Is this the last season? I don think so. I could see it. I don't know. It's a great show though. I'm excited for the second installment
of season whatever four.
Is this the last season?
I don't know.
Probably not.
I don't know either.
But you know what the problem is
is these kids keep getting older
and they're not as cute as they used to be.
They're kind of going through that awkward stage.
Yeah.
That's true.
I feel like there was a double whammy twist.
You find out that the blonde guy is the villain was twist one.
But then the second twist is finding out he's that guy's kid.
The guy from the,
um,
the insane asylum that they go,
that,
uh,
Becky's on her name goes to visit.
No.
What's her name?
Yeah.
But I know you're talking about,
they go to that,
that kind of haunted house or whatever.
And they,
they break the beautiful stained glass window. How could you ruin that? Yeah. That guy's son. Like that was house or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They break the beautiful stained glass window.
How could you ruin that?
Yeah, that guy's son.
That was the other...
And I guess I should have seen it coming
because otherwise,
what would that story really have to do with it?
So it makes sense that there would be a tie-in,
but it did.
I was like, double whammy twist.
Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Loved it.
Yeah.
I started watching a new show called The Bear.
Have you heard of that?
Oh, no. It is Jeremy Allen White a new show called The Bear. Have you heard of that? Oh, no.
It is Jeremy Allen White's new show.
He was on Shameless.
He was Lip on Shameless.
Sarah and I are good friends with him and his wife, Addie,
and he's such a good actor,
and I love everything about this show.
It is the most well show of all time.
Here's a tag.
A young chef from the fine dining world returns to Chicago
to run his family's sandwich shop, The Bear. Jeremy's character is a guy named, I think it's
Carmine, and he is like a Michelin star, James Beard award-winning chef working out in Los Angeles,
Big Shot or whatever, and he comes back to Chicago
and he's trying to revive his, I think,
father or his grandfather's sandwich shop.
And he has no business being there
because he's a fine dining chef
and he shouldn't be making fucking sandwiches or whatever.
But he's trying to do this for the family he believes in
or whatever, and he's broke and he's going through tough times
and his cousin's kind of a pain in the ass to deal with
and everyone doesn't think he should be doing it.
They should just sell us the store. But he's fighting for it. And And his cousin's kind of a pain in the ass to deal with. And everyone doesn't think he should be doing it. They should just sell the store.
But he, like, you know, is fighting for it.
And it brings in all the things you love.
It brings in drama.
It brings in family bullshit.
And then it brings in amazing food and sandwiches.
And I love sandwiches.
So go check it out.
It's on Hulu and on FX.
The Bear.
Okay.
Very good.
Sounds cool.
Very good.
I must say.
All right.
I watched the finale of The Time Traveler's Wife.
Mm-hmm.
HBO, six episodes?
I'm sorry.
I think we deserve at least eight.
I feel like six episodes isn't even a full season.
That is so unfair.
Don't love that.
However, I do think they did a good job of ending it at a good place because there's
obviously going to be a season two.
And if you've read the book or watched the movie,
the story only goes so far, right?
So I was kind of worried about that
when I started the show and saw that there was a show.
I'm like, how are you going to make this more than one season?
Maybe this should have been a limited series.
But I guess that's partly why they only did the six episodes
and they ended at a decent spot.
I wonder if they're going to stray away from the actual story of the book
slash movie and do anything differently because some of the flashback scenes to me look like they
could maybe like add some things into the story or like change it a little bit. And honestly,
I wouldn't be horribly mad about that because then it would make it more interesting than the
things we've already seen. So TBD on that, guess theo james still the hottest man to walk the face of the earth honestly god he's so gorgeous
i can't even deal such a great show though all right so you just want more you're ain't what
you're upset about is that you just want more of it i need more i need more more more more great
new show on netflix starring melissa mccarthy called Favorite Idiot. Have you heard of this one? No. It's fantastic.
Here's the tag.
A tech support employee becomes the unwitting messenger of God.
God's Favorite Idiot.
Basically, Melissa McCarthy's co-worker starts to glow one day.
And Melissa McCarthy's the only one who sees it.
And she also drinks a lot and takes a lot of pills.
She's very much of it like an
addict in this show and so she's like telling her co-workers like she came into work late
and clark is glowing and they're like did you take an ambien again and a fifth of vodka and
she's like yes but he was really glowing it's like kind of no one believes her kind of all
talking shit or whatever about her and how she's being stupid. And then all of a sudden he does glow. And turns out he's been touched by God to save the world from the
devil. And it is so fun and so funny and so quick. They're not trying to draw this out. It's like
eight episodes, 30 minutes each. You know, you're not like, oh my my god i wish i knew what's going on it was just like
immediate you get into this show which i love really good cast moussa mccarthy ben falcone
is the lead and he's also like i think the main writer leslie bibb is the devil and she's great
in it and then they've got a kind of a bunch of new actors usman ali chris sadaford and anna
scottney three actors i'm not really familiar with,
but they are fucking hilarious as their coworkers.
So anyways, go check it out.
God's Favorite Idiot, very good.
Cute.
Cute.
Have you seen Cha-Cha Real Smooth on, I think it's Apple TV?
No, that sounds like about like dancing,
and your boy are a dancer.
It's actually not really.
Dakota Johnson's in it.
If you're a Dakota Johnson fan.
I've just heard a lot of people saying really good things about it.
So I turned it on last night.
It's a quick, super easy watch.
I mean, listen, I wouldn't say this is like any, it's not a groundbreaking movie or anything like that.
Like it was, it was cute.
It was an easy watch.
It was good.
The thing I really liked about it is that the lead, his name's Cooper Raiff, I don't
know if I'm pronouncing it right, R-A-I-F-F.
He's phenomenal.
And he directed it, produced it, and acted in it and plays the lead, which is insane.
And I love watching things where the actor's also directing.
He might've even wrote it. I need to look and see. That just blows my mind. I just feel like doing any one
of those jobs is so hard and so overwhelming. And to do them all on one film must just be insane.
And it's cute. It's good. Highly recommend. Yeah. He wrote, directed, and stars in.
Yeah. That is nuts. A young man who works as a bar mitzvah party host
strikes up a friendship with a mother
and her autistic daughter.
Cha-cha real smooth.
Oh, it's a movie,
and it is on Apple TV.
Can we talk about how horrible coconut water is?
What do you mean?
I like coconut water.
Do you have taste buds in your mouth?
Yeah.
Coconut water tastes like what I assume a birdbath tastes like.
It's disgusting.
It's like not a good taste.
It tastes like salty and like inside of a banana peel.
I feel like it's disgusting.
I cannot believe people drink coconut water.
It's really good for you.
Yeah, okay.
But tastes gross, dude.
What are you talking?
Do you like coconut flavored things?
Yeah, sure.
You do?
Like a mound, Almond Joy, whatever.
Have you ever gone to the beach and had like a coconut, like drink out of an actual coconut, like the water out of it?
Yeah, it's horrible.
Oh, I like it.
You don't think it tastes like a birdbath?
Like the bird has been shitting in?
I've never drank from a birdbath, so I can't say for sure.
But I can tell you that I think coconut water is yummy.
Gross.
I mean, I know it's good for you, but like, no.
If you want to get like potassium and like hydration in your water, you should drink that Cali water stuff.
Vanessa Hudgens' drink.
Because that uses like-
What's it called?
Cali water.
They use like cactuses or something.
And you get like a bunch of potassium just like coconut water, but it doesn't taste like a birdbath.
Okay. Tepid. Bit dramatic. bunch of potassium just like coconut water but it doesn't taste like a bird bath okay tepid bit dramatic like tepid salty nutsack water it is so gross i can't believe people drink that i guess i
just never really had it we've got a bunch here in paradise because obviously you know it's like
good for hydration so i went and got one i tried tried it. I spit it out. I was like, this has obviously gone
bad. So I went and got a different one. Oh no, that's just what it tastes like.
Oh no. Oh, I guess.
New favorite conspiracy theory told to me by my beautiful sister, who's actually visiting me right
now in paradise. Oh, nice. We know we're related because of our obsession with the amber heard johnny depp trial ah and the newest news is that
amber heard was caught shopping at tj maxx by paparazzi which shows that she's broke because
she lost her lawsuit to johnny depp and now she has to shop at TJ Maxx. The horror, the humanity. I can't
believe you have to shop at a good store. TJ Maxx is great. I also like Marshalls, you know,
like I'm a bargain guy. And here's the conspiracy theory that I've heard from my sister, but then I
also checked in on it on the internet. So it's got to be true, that she tipped off the paparazzi to get those pictures so people would feel bad for her
because she's shopping at TJ Maxx.
No one's going to feel bad for her for shopping at TJ Maxx.
Do you know how unrelatable that is, lady?
Yeah.
Most of the country shops at TJ Maxx.
No one's going to feel bad for you for shopping at TJ Maxx, if that's true.
And it's just so great.
Chef's kiss.
That is true.
That is the most insane thing
in the world.
And I love it.
And I hate it.
But I love it.
And you know what I was talking about
the other day?
You know, the world is just
in such a fucked up place.
Like, it's just so bad.
And like, every time I turn on the news,
I'm like, oh, this is so bad. Like, this like this is fucking politics and you know january 6th insurrection and the road waves it's
like oh my i'm just getting hit left and right center and i was like man i just you know what
i want i need i need the johnny depp amber heard trial back yo i need to separate myself this is
the realization i came with i was like this is how bad the world is right now,
that my escape, my one little pleasure in the world is a domestic violence case on television.
That's horrible. Horrible. And that's where we are in the world where I'm like, God, I just
wish we had an escape. Listen to Johnny Depp's lawyer's object to shit. I just need that in my
life right now. I wonder what that in my life right now.
I wonder what chapter in Revelations we're in right now
because that would be interesting to find out.
Also, the end of Barry is really good.
You should watch that on HBO.
Crazy ending.
I don't know what they're going to do in their season.
I don't want to ruin it for anybody, but like, whoa.
Don't ruin.
Well, got to watch Barry.
Great show.
I found a show on netflix
that i don't think it's really for me but i do feel like it's for you okay perfect tell me about
it have you heard of snowflake mountain no well i think you should watch it um here is the little
tag situation okay hopelessly entitled or simply in need of tough of 10 spoiled young adults
experience nature
without a parental safety net in this reality series.
So basically they plop a bunch of richy,
entitled, bratty young adults out into the wilderness.
Yeah, do they die?
And the trailer looks like something you would love.
Yeah, I love that.
I do love, did you ever watch the show Alone?
Where they put real stuff.
Yes, so that, but like spoiled rich bratty kids that live on their phones. I love it. Did you ever watch the show Alone? Where they put real stuff. That show's great. That, but like spoiled rich bratty kids that live on their phones.
I love it.
Yeah, I think that's for you.
They're like making TikToks instead of getting water.
Their last TikTok is them dying.
Exactly.
He's a 10, but he's run out of water and hasn't had any food in 30 days.
How about my Tish talks though?
Oh,
that's a good name for it.
I didn't know it was the name for it.
Oh,
that's what I've been calling them.
Yeah.
Did you see that someone made the drink that I was talking about last week?
And then,
and she was like,
yeah,
it's fucking delicious.
And then,
so I,
then I saw last night,
someone else had did it.
I was talking to revolution over here.
I need to name this drink.
Well, you also need to get sponsored by San Pellegrino
because you're giving them mad press.
It's very true.
But hey, listen, they're making a great product.
I can't knock them for it.
Everyone's like, I do that with vodka.
I do that with gin.
I'm like, yeah, okay.
Okay.
Tequila's better, though.
Tequila is better.
Especially with the lemonada and a little bit of sody water.
It just tastes like...
Lemonada.
Umbrella Academy is back, baby.
Oh.
And...
You know what else just came back?
Yeah.
What?
West World.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Well, unlike West World, the season two and 3 of Umbrella Academy are good.
I loved Season 3 of Westworld.
You did?
Yes!
I didn't love Season 2, but I loved Season 3.
I've dropped off of Westworld.
But I will tell you this.
Umbrella Academy is just so freaking good.
If you haven't watched Umbrella Academy, get in on it.
Fantastic.
And now they brought in this whole parallel universe thing. If you haven't watched Umbrella Academy, get in on it. Fantastic.
And now they brought in this whole parallel universe thing, and it's just so good.
Man.
That's cute.
You know what I started last night that's been around forever?
What?
I went to a NASCAR race yesterday, my first car race event.
Wow.
Very cool.
Totally get the hype.
Lots of hotties.
So I decided to turn on season one, episode one of that on netflix that's about formula one drive i think it's called like drive to survive
that one so many hotties on this show why didn't you tell me the guy in the first episode daniel
um radcliffe ricardo something like that yeah hot loves it my new favorite show i'm so into it
you can cash me at a bunch of car races upcoming because I'm thinking this is my new favorite sport.
Wow.
It's really funny that you mentioned that because my good friend Chad Munn made that show.
Oh, cool.
And he's the one who also cast me on Best in Tell.
So what you're saying is he can hook me up with Daniel Ricciardo?
I will ask him.
And then he'll probably say like, that guy is married to Victoria's Secret model.
A model. Yeah, that's what I to Victoria's Secret model. A model.
Yeah, that's what I figured.
Aren't they all?
Yeah.
If not, though.
Brandi is ready.
Love me now.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, hot tip for trying to stay cool in the summertime.
Oh, boy.
I'm scared.
You got to wear sandals, guys.
You got to keep the feet cool. You got to let them breathe. I'm scared. Beautiful. What amazing vacation. That's the slogan. I noticed this because they always want
me to wear shoes on this show. And I'm like, one, you guys have never shot my feet in a single,
ever. Oh yeah. No, never. And I did it one day with the socks and the sneakers and everything.
I was sweating so much. And I'm like, guys, can't do this. Got to let the feet breathe.
Then you put sandals on it's a
whole new world on some new fantastic point of view so anyways if you want to stay cool in the
summer heat sandals uh-huh i mean i have people already you know you know my feelings on sandals
don't care well you know my feelings on slides slides look so stupid slides are it they're not
it they look stupid yeah they are and i'll take flip-. They look stupid. Yeah, they are.
I think flip-flops look stupid.
Yeah, but I'll tell you what.
Slides give you a fucking super weird tan line, at least flip-flops.
Flip-flops?
What can be weirder than the flip-flop tan?
But it's much smaller than a slide. A slide's this big, whereas a flip-flop tan is just the little thong line.
Oh, but it's so bad.
And then when you have the flip-flop tan, everyone knows you wear flip-flops, which is disgusting.
So it's just like a whole thing.
Dude, flip-flops are where it's at, bro.
Hate them.
You wear socks with your slides?
Oh, all the time.
What are you?
It's so comfy.
Especially like at the airport when you want to wear a slide because it's so comfy and easy to slip on and off.
But it's cold in the plane, so you want to wear socks with them.
Like, it's a look.
comfy and easy to slip on and off, but it's cold in the plane, so you want to wear socks with them.
It's a look. You're wearing
something that's meant to keep you
cool,
to warm you up, which makes no sense.
Sandals, you can't wear socks with sandals
if you do, you're a freaking psychopath.
It's to keep you cool, man.
You're doing it all backwards.
I don't know.
It's called fashion. Look it up.
I'm telling you, sandals are where it's at. You're just fashion. Look it up. I'm telling you.
Sandals are where it's at.
You're just wrong on that.
Oh, I have a big favorite thing.
Give me a ding.
My alma mater.
My Ole Miss Rebels.
We won the College World Series, guys.
We did it.
It's been a long time coming.
Listen, I went to a school,
which we were the lovable losers.
We always have been, you know?
We're the great place to go and party,
but we're never very good at anything.
We're in the middle of goddamn SEC
where everyone's so freaking good
and they're paying all their players
all this crazy money,
which we are probably doing that too,
but whatever.
Anyways, we can never be as good
and we're one of the last teams to get into the College World Series.
No one gives us a chance, and lo and behold, Mike Bianco and the Swayze Crazies,
we come through and win a national championship.
Boys.
Is this baseball?
Baseball.
Baseball.
Got it.
The sad thing is that the slogan for the school that I went to used to be,
we may not win every game, but we ain't never lost a party. Well, guess what, motherfuckers?
We won the game and the party, and I'm pretty pumped about it. That's it. Wow.
Well, if we're going to talk sports and winning, let's talk about one that actually matters.
Huge shout out and congrats to the Colorado Avalanche for winning the Stanley Cup.
You know, they haven't won in like a freaking forever.
They were doing so well early in the playoffs.
Like for a second there, I was getting worried for them, but they came through with the win
last night and beat the lightning.
Super happy for them.
I love it when somebody wins, hasn't won in a long time.
And obviously I love Colorado because I live there for a minute and it has a special place
in my heart.
So go, Abs!
Did you say that – let's talk about a sport that actually matters, saying that hockey is more important than baseball?
I mean, absolutely, yes.
Hockey is better than baseball.
But also, the NHL is a professional sport, whereas your college thing is a college thing.
So that's an all in by that.
Yeah, but you know what?
You didn't go to the College of the Avalanche.
No, but I did live in Denver, Colorado, and I attended a few Avalanche games, got a jersey
and a whole bunch of other things.
So I did feel a tad bit invested.
Yeah, but I literally invested money into a college and got a degree from there i get
it i mean you lived in denver for fucking 14 months so you know it's not that you grew up in
tennessee where the preds play or anything glad your loyalties are so iron clad been in the
playoffs if the preds had been in the playoffs i would have absolutely rooted for the preds but
they sucked and they weren't there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
I got a book.
Tell me.
Read this in Hawaii.
It was, I cruised through it, honestly.
I think I maybe mentioned that I had bought it.
It's called Someone We Know.
It's by Sherry Lapina.
I've read it.
Who I love.
Oh, cool.
She wrote The Couple Next Door.
Mm-hmm.
Classic, you know, mystery thriller.
Who done it?
Starts off with a murder and it's all kind of set in this one like well-off neighborhood where, you know, nothing goes wrong.
They have no break-ins, no crime, no nothing.
And then all of a sudden someone turns up dead and all these break-ins are happening.
The person that dies was like having affairs around town.
So it's like they think it's this one and then they think it's this one and then they think it's this one.
And then it's like, well, it's got to be one of the three.
Who is it?
And then, you know, you're just guessing and they keep you stringing along the whole time.
And there's a nice little twist at the end.
So,
um,
if you like things like that,
great read,
highly recommend love Sherry Lapina.
Nice.
Do you have any music or anything?
Oh,
you know,
my friend Sam Hunt has a new song out.
If you want to play a little Sam Hunt,
I would absolutely love that.
Is it called water under the bridge?
Yeah.
Should we go out on this?
No, I have one more.
Oh, okay.
Body like a back road.
We didn't know it.
We were young, dumb, and so full of it.
Broken bottles and graffiti.
Beering girls and popping wheelies.
Love was fun and life was easy
Now it's just water under the bridge
I kissed the girl my
Sam Hunt, Water Under the Bridge.
So catchy.
And then I thought we could go out
on the same sad note we came in on
and play the new Noah Cyrus song called Ready to
Go. Let's do it. I'm ready to go. How are you going to survive the rest of the shoot day?
I don't know. I have to do my opening credits. So like my silly, like,
I have to do that. And then I have to do a lot of like interviews of where I need to be funny. And
I don't feel funny right now.
I would highly, highly suggest
chugging a Celsius before you go do this.
I know.
I might chug a limonada.
Tequila, solibada.
That sounds nice too.
Yeah.
All right, YFTers, we love you.
I'm sorry the world is just fucking horrible.
I don't know
Yeah me too
But
Could be worse
Yeah
Could be killed by a
Hawaiian
Who doesn't like tourists coming to his island
Very funny
Imagine those guys being like
you don't stop people from coming here
we kill America's sweetheart
and her family
I literally was thinking like
not only should you not take anyone here
but Miley Cyrus really
you're gonna take Miley Cyrus out here and let her drown
in the undertow of the freaking
Nepali coast ocean?
I cannot.
I cannot.
Up next, we're going to kill Margot Robbie
and Taylor Swift.
Alright, guys.
Alright, YFTers, we love you.
Love y'all.
See ya.
Bye.
Bye.
