Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - It’s expensive to be hot

Episode Date: September 14, 2022

Here’s to the queen! This week your hosts spend time talking about the tragedy in the royal family, then Wells compassionately compares them to the Kardashians multiple times. Brandi has decided to wear makeup to this week’s recording, and Wells has a LOT to say about makeup. In summary, apparently, guys don’t like a lot of it. Which is good for Brand-eye, because she doesn’t know how to apply it. Also, Wells can’t possibly understand why Harry and Meghan would choose to live in California instead of a castle, and really wishes he too could be rich for no reason. He then discusses a very exciting encounter he had with Ben Stiller. Lastly, your hosts play some voice messages from the YFTers because they ran out of content.

Who saw that coming? I guess everyone did. She was 96. She had a good run. Let's be honest. Can you imagine getting to 96? I don't even know if I want to get there, even if I am kind of leading a country. You know? I think 85 is the number, because you can still kind of like get around. My dad's 82. He still goes and swims. He plays golf.

But once you get to 96 man i don't know this is dark it's kind of dark isn't it yeah it's sad though i mean she's been in power for so long or kind of in power they're kind of like the kardashians of our of our country they're just rich and uh no one really knows why right how's everyone doing out there yeah good great grant wonderful my voice is shot. It is done, son. I'll tell you all about it in a second. I'll call Brandy, let her know.

And I'll let you guys know what's been going on. Ding-a-ling-a-ling. Oh, yeah. Hello. Hello. What up? You look like you got makeup on. I do have a little makeup on. Yeah, you look good.

Thanks. Not me, though. Well, you look the same no matter what. I hate to break it to on. Yeah, you look good. Thanks. Not me though. Well, you look the same no matter what. I hate to break it to you. Yeah. It's good though. There's a level of consistency that comes with being a man. Must be fucking nice. Yeah. It's like, this is just it. Well, I actually, I beg to differ. You do? Why? Because men can look so different with or without facial hair and with or without a hat on. You love both of those things. I do.

Who doesn't love both of those things? Me. I don't like facial hair. You look great with facial hair. I look like a dirty, dirty boy. I kind of like it. Oh, God. And so I have a couple of young girls that ride horses with me.

They're like 14, 15. And I've told them both. I said, girls, we can't ever judge a guy that's wearing a hat and or has a beard. Yeah. Can't judge their hotness level until you've seen them without both to get the true number of the guy's hotness. You know what I'm saying? It's fair. It's like for girls, you got to wait until the bar lights come on before you make any rash decisions.

Facts. Or I guess the next morning when the makeup is smeared all over the pillow. Ooh, yeah. You know? And here's the thing. If you asked 100 guys what they prefer, they will say, i prefer less makeup than more makeup yes they do and it's because men are stupid and we know if there is no makeup on and they still look good then then we're good but you guys are shape shifters out there we can't figure it out well have you seen i don't know about your tiktok algorithm but have you seen all the insane

contour painting girls are doing to their faces these days? I mean, not really, but I know what you're talking about. Like the, there's that little, little egg. Everyone uses a little egg. I use the egg. Yeah. It's crazy.

Like making your nose smaller. Yeah. It's not just the egg. It's all the different colors that they're painting on their face to make shadows here and highlights here. And it does. It completely changes the shape of your face. It's kind of insane. I know, but you guys all got to be fucking Picasso over here to get it going.

You know? You got to have a minor in fucking art history to be able to do this. Which I don't have, so I'm very bad at it. Also, anything that takes me longer than seven minutes is too much for me. Yeah. Seven minutes is my limit. Sarah's the same way. She's not, but she's getting better at doing her makeup.

But she's lived so much of her life with someone else doing it. I know. So when she has to do it, it's like she got to sit down. But she recently got good at putting lashes on. She's very proud of this. I would be too. I can't do that yeah but then you go to paradise and all these girls are just like wizards with their lashes yeah they

must all like get together beforehand and make sure like they all know how to do it and help each other and shit because like all of them wear them they go to like a ted talk about putting on on lashes they must a master class yeah fucking master class makeup is ridiculous it is really is it though give me like a little bit of an eye you know yeah a good lip yeah that's all i need yeah i feel like men do like a little makeup i think we like a little bit of an eye yeah and a little bit of a lip that's kind of one of those things where dudes are like, oh, you don't need Botox and filler and all that shit. But if they didn't know we had it and we didn't tell them, they'd be like, you look so hot. They do like it.

They just don't really want to admit it. I don't like the contouring stuff. You don't? I don't. Here's the one thing that I will say about makeup. As someone who has, they put makeup on me, and I'm like, I don't like this. Yeah.

When you put too much makeup on someone's face, it's to erase your wrinkles effectively, right? Or your blemishes. But what it does when it's so thick and then you have smile lines or whatever, then the caking makes the wrinkles bigger. Yes. And I don't like that. Especially in person. I will say the camera eats makeup very badly. So you always feel like you're caked on because you're on TV.

And on screen, you probably don't look like you have on anything at all. And I had to learn the hard way because I was very stubborn on a lot of things I've done on television about doing my own makeup because I don't like to have too much makeup on. I think I don't look like myself. So I demanded to do my own makeup for a while. And then I'd watch it back and I'd be like, holy shit, I look like I don't have on anything. Like I look terrible. So I had to like, you know, kind of, you know, like learn to let people cake it on because then when you're on camera, even though you have on too much makeup

and in person you look like a clown on camera, you actually look good. It's an odd thing, but in person I do agree and I will say the older I get, I feel like the more makeup I have on, the older I look. Yeah. I think that's true. Yeah.

Which is not great. No. If I'm going to be on TV, I say, hey listen, can you just make the dark circles under my eyes? Can you make those go away

so I don't look like I do heroin every day? They're like, let me give you a tan. Let me give you a better cheekbone. Let me give you a better jawline. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me just rewrite your face. Yeah.

Because what I'm looking at, I don't love it. So you know what we're going to do, Wells? We're going to make it better. Oh. Should we start the show? I don't know. We've talked about makeup for solid five minutes. I mean, the queen, huh?

It's so sad. Is it, though? I think it's so sad. I loved her. I did, too. But she's 96 years old. It's a good run. I know, but it's just like, I don't know.

I feel like we really lost a good one, you know? It's the only one we've known. That's true. She was a horse gal. She was a horse rider, and I just loved we've known. That's true. She was a horse gal. She was a horse rider, and I just loved that so much. She's rich. Of course she's a horse gal.

But she really loved the horses. Even as she got older, I saw an article that said her doctors all begged her to not ride. It wasn't good for her health. She could fall and hurt herself at her age. And she said, nope, you can't keep me away from the horses. And she continued to ride up until the end. I mean, my question is, how degenerate is Charles if he had to wait until she was 96 years old to become the king? I mean, yeah.

You know? Yeah. No offense or whatnot. Or if she was just so power hungry, she was like, I'm never going to give it up. But I don't think that's the truth. I think she probably was like tired there at the end and was like, you know what would be great? If I had a son who wasn't a complete degenerate, you know, so that he could do this. Feel like she wants William to be the guy that's in charge.

Well, everyone loves William. The hair on the top of his head doesn't love him. But other than that... Well, you know, in his day, he was a cutie. He was. He was a handsome man. He was. And they got Henry back over there, you know?

Nothing brings a family together like ripping them apart with death. Honestly, that's very true. I know, it's true. It's sad. It really is sad. I do hope that maybe now Henry

and Megan can go back to Westminster? Downton? Downtown Abbey? Harry, right? Not Henry? Is that what you're trying to say there? Harry, yes. Prince Harry. Prince Harry, who was like, I don't want what happened to my mom

to happen to my wife, which is a totally understandable thing. But I'm like, dude, you're a prince. You should be in the castle. I know. What are you doing? You're out in Santa Barbara? I mean, it's beautiful out in Santa Barbara, but you were the. Santa Barbara's nice.

I know. Yeah, it's a thing. You know? It's a little nice. Yeah. I mean, can you imagine how shitty London's got to be if you are living in the castle and you're like, I think I'm going to Southern California. The fish and chips are great, but I'm going to get some tacos. I mean, the weather's shitty in the UK.

I know it is. Yeah, maybe he just needs that sunshine, you know? Yeah, you know? Because that's what gingers need, is a lot of sunshine. You're the worst. People who love the Royal Family are going to hate this whole bit that I'm doing right here. They're going to hate it. They're going to hate it.

Speaking of gingers. Yeah, perfect. Do you remember when I had red hair? Yes, I do. Do we miss that? Do we think I should go back to that? No, you're a good blonde. Really?

Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay, that's a hot take. Yeah. Red, red's a statement you know it is but i will say not to like toot my own horn but everyone always said said i looked so great with the red hair and it looked very natural on me a lot of people thought i was natural redhead blah blah blah and it's just so much easier the blonde is high high maintenance i bet that's true.

And expensive. Do you know how much it costs to get my hair highlighted? Let me guess. I'm going to go with $263. $375. Damn, girl. I know. You got to do that how many times?

I go like every three to four months. Okay. But I stretch it out. Most girls, I think, go every two months. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. it's expensive to be a woman why don't you just have your normal hair it's expensive to be a hot woman

let's clarify that I could not give a fuck if I didn't color my hair Botox my forehead get my nails done most people go get spray tans, fake eyelashes I don't do that shit. But like, it is expensive.

But like, if I wanted to be ugly, it would be a lot cheaper. Yeah, yeah, yeah. True. That's where we are in society.

That's where we are. You know? But I guess if, if everybody, if all women would just band together and be like, we're not doing that shit anymore and we just all looked bad,

then we would all look great because nobody would know we all looked bad. You know what I'm saying? That's all guys want. Maybe we should just all band together and be like we're not doing that shit anymore and we just all looked bad then we would all look great because nobody would know we all looked bad you know what i'm saying that's all guys want maybe we should just all band together and just set the standard really low so that we're all hot listen all guys have been saying it for years that we don't need all this makeup all this pomp and circumstance we you know what we need? We need a sundress and some like... Okay. Don't say ooh. I'm the guy, okay? I'm the one

who's making these decisions about... I'm gonna stick with my sweatpants and crop tops, but... I'm telling you, all guys want is a sundress

and maybe like a comfy t-shirt, short shorts, and like knee-high wool socks oh really that'll get that'll get socks that'll get a guy going oh yeah the socks up to like the knee come on and then it's great because then you guys don't have to shave your legs fascinating but you know what you're out here with your dolce and Gabbana's and your Dior's and everything. We don't want that. You guys are doing this for other women, not for the guys.

That is true. What are your thoughts on pantyhose or tights, if you will? Yeah, I'm not into the tights so much. Don't think that's sexy? No. But I do love a wool sock up to the knee. Specifically a wool sock, huh? No, but like, I think you know what I'm talking about.

Like a schoolgirl type situation? Yeah, like not like a tight, not tights up to the knee. But yeah, like a. Like a slouchy sock. Sarah's got them and they're hot. We'll pull some photos from Google. Yeah. It's the best. We should start the show. We'll pull some photos from Google. Yeah, it's the best. We should start the show.

We should start the show, yeah. I think it's you. Okay. Bros and hoes, you're listening to Your Favorite Thing Podcast with... Wells and Brandy.

Yeah. She had a good run though. I'm just saying like. She did. That was a long time. I wouldn't want to do anything for that long. Agreed. I'd be bored.

I would too. Get another hobby, lady. Is your whole identity wrapped up in being the queen? Oh yeah, it is. Pretty cool identity, actually. I know. It's a very cool thing. Like, it's very old school and antiquated.

But, like, I don't think that they do anything. I honestly think that they are the Kardashians of over there. Well, I was going to ask this, but didn't want to sound stupid. But, like, when you were like, yeah, King, what's his name? Charles. Charles, King Charles. What does he really have to do? I think it's like a lot of speeches and like going places and like shaking hands and kissing babies.

Yeah, sounds easy. Sounds like a lot of lip service, you know? Yeah. They're not really solving the problems of London. No. They're just out there just being rich. And that, I think, is what sounds awesome. Is that they get to just be rich for kind of no reason. Literally zero reason.

Yeah. Because someone a long time ago decided, I'm the king now, and all my kids get to be rich. Damn it. We're all about capitalism over here. I want to go over this monarchy system and just be very rich. I'm telling you. Maybe that should be my new goal

is to forget a trust fund kid. Maybe I need to go after royalty. Yeah, that's... What dating app is that one? Yeah, I need to be on that one. Yeah. You don't need the heir to the throne. You need a duke of

Worcester or some ridiculous thing that like okay, I don't even know. You have the duke of the Shia, but they just are rich and they get to go to the parties. Go to the parties, play polo on the weekend. Yeah.

That sounds right up my alley. They got someone on staff that's going to dye your hair for free. Oh, sounds polo on the weekend. Yeah. That sounds right up my alley. They got someone on staff that's going to dye your hair. Oh, sounds great. For free. Cooked for me. Sounds great. Oh, yeah. That's what everyone needs.

Everyone just needs to be royalty. The world would be so much better. Yeah, if all of us were. Yeah. I'm sure that would work out really well. Yeah. I think we've solved all of the world's problems. Definitely.

So I'm a little worse for the wear today. Would you like win some golf thing? Yes. Well, so here's what happened. I went out to Mississippi. Mississippi? Mississippi, where I went to college. Was it humid as fuck there?

Because it was here. Here's the thing. This is how terrible the climate is right now. I left California, went to Mississippi in early September. I got away from the heat. The high was like 89 in Mississippi. In Studio City, it was like 112. Yeah, but 89 with what?

Like 80% humidity? So much better though. I'm telling you. So anyways, I went out there, played some gaffes. Higgins came actually. He got invited this year. It's a big deal because it's hard to get intoes. Higgins came, actually. He got invited this year. It's a big deal because it's hard to get into. And Higgins and I were on the same team.

And by golly, we won. Wow. We were the winners. We got to put our name on the Who Cup. It was very exciting. That is exciting. I drank way too many alcoholic beverages a couple times. So we're doing this on Sunday.

The Emmys are on Monday this year. Oh. Which means the night before the Emmys party, which is where Sarah and I first met. I was going to say, yeah. Big moment. Was last night. Now, I was in Mississippi and I needed to get back to California in a timely fashion to make it to this kind of anniversary party that we go to.

So your boy woke up at 3.30 in the morning. Oh, God. Got in his Jeep rental car. Drove two and a half hours. No. From West Point to Jackson. To then get on an airplane to fly to Dallas. And then from Dallas to Burbank.

And then from Burbank. Took forever to get my bag. And then I had to drive home. And I was very tired. You check bags? My golf clubs. clubs oh the golf clubs you know and then we went to the evening before the Emmys party which was crazy uh 50 cent and Snoop Dogg performed I love Fitty and Snoop honestly who doesn't they both love me so you I believe that. We had an absolutely amazing night. It's so much fun. It's just like this ridiculous evening that I have no business being, but luckily I've

attached my star to a real star. To an actual star. Yeah. And so it's this party where like everyone that is like basically nominated or up for an Emmy or like on a big show, they go to this party, and there is no press, like there's no paparazzi, there's no really photos, and it's just like people, and also like heads of studios and everything. It's a big kind of like networking who's who thing.

Have you ever been to it? No, I haven't. Man, so everyone's there. I mean, everyone knew that we just got married, so everyone was just so kind and like congratulations, congratulations. But I had a couple moments okay one i know that you don't like ted lasso oh because you have a cold dead heart it's just not good it is it is though like like categorically speaking it is it is a great show and i feel like i'm taking crazy shit i get it yeah yeah anyways um the guy who plays roy kent brett goldstein brett and sarah met each other last year i thought before the emmy's party i couldn't go because i was

i was traveling or working or whatever anyways i got to meet him that's cool i got to meet him. That's cool. I got to meet Roy Kent. And he was the nicest, the sweetest guy in the world. Couldn't believe it. That's the highlight of my night. I'm good. There was a lot of like really big stars there. But I was like, Roy Kent, that's pretty fucking cool. And then we go and do this photo booth thing. We were with Jesse Tyler and Justin and Cordova Street.

And so we're sitting there. And all of a sudden, Ben Stiller walks by okay and he's with a young girl which I'm like I think that's maybe his daughter I'm not really sure and and they are looking at me now I know I'm not supposed to be there right I'm not anybody okay but they're staring right at me and so I'm like very nervous so I'm like you know hi or whatever and so she like whispers to her her dad and I'm like I don't know I think they maybe they're mistaking me for somebody else or something so then they walk away then Ben Stiller stops his daughter and goes you just want to you just want to go talk to

him and she was like I don't know like nervous or whatever so then finally he's like come on whatever so he walks up and he goes hey my daughter's a huge fan of yours what what i was like do you know do you know who i am or do you think that i'm do you think that i'm roy kent maybe like he was like i'm so sorry i don't watch your show but like i know it's it's popular whatever and i was like it's okay it's totally fine i'm like i'm on it i don't even watch it don't bet so don't don't be upset that you didn't watch show it's totally fine his daughter is so sweet and she was like oh my god you know you know, like The Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise. I fucking love that shit.

You know, it's like my escape or whatnot. How old is the daughter? She's got to be like early 20s. Oh, okay. I was thinking like young. So lovely. And so Ben Stiller, oh my God, like I'm like a huge fan of yours. Can we take a picture?

Yeah. So I was like, are you serious? Like, okay. This was the coolest part he was like legitimately interested in how we film paradise and he was like okay so tell me how this works and like what do you what do you do what are the hours and then someone came up you know some other like he just elbow or something came up and was like pulled him away he's so hot and I was like okay that was whatever I still had a cool conversation with

Ben Stiller then Idris left or whoever it was and then he came back he's like I'm so sorry I got distracted anyways let's keep talking about this and I was like what what is happening in the world right now what a day what a day anyways we had just the best time and I just gotta say Ben Stiller in real life sweetest guy in the world wow love that yeah so anyways i wonder what he's doing you should have been like dude let's like do something together let's like do a project together or something what do you mean what is he doing he directed all of severance oh i forgot about that i never got into that show oh it's so good it was so good i hope they do yeah i'm gonna need to give another shot oh the best. So that was kind of my night.

So all that to be said, I am like a little hungover. That's okay. You seem decent. Yeah. All right. Well, do you got some favorite things, bro, or what? Bro, well, speaking of kings and queens. Yeah.

House of the Dragon. Yeah. It's getting better. Last night. Did you watch last night's episode? No, I haven't watched last night. Oh, shit. It took it to another level but i'm telling you the brother the prince the brother okay okay okay spoiler alert let's just tell the

wife to yours we're gonna spoiler alert well i haven't seen the episode yeah but that article that thing you said link you sent me gave some spoilers yeah i know um okay so watch yours if you haven't seen last night's episode of house of the dragon maybe fast forward a few minutes yeah because um well sent me a link that kind of spoiled last night's episode for me a tiny bit but that's okay the link was just um jr martin or whatever his name is yeah so basically if you've read the books then you're constantly getting spoilers right like if you read the books you already know what's gonna happen really and i have not read all those books so the link well sent me he talks about how the brother and raniera end up getting married he like says that in that

interview yeah he's like they get married and like whatever and so in last night's episode when they go to that brothel and start getting it on. I was like, but if I hadn't read that article and I had seen that last night, I would have been like, the uncle and the daughter. Yeah. The brother and the daughter. I mean,

that's, that's some pretty normal Targaryen shit. You know? I know. And is it kind of fucked up that I was kind of here for it? I mean, yeah, it was. I was like, yeah, I kind of here for it? I mean, yeah, it was.

I was like, yeah, I kind of love this. I know. But then, but then, okay, can I just run it for you? Yeah, okay. Okay, since you kind of run it for me. Okay, so she does, you know, gets it on with the brother. And then, like, he leaves in, like, a tizzy or whatever. And so she runs back to her room. And then the hot night is standing outside

her room. And I have known this whole time that he is way too hot to just be in the Kings guard. Like I knew we weren't getting out of this without him being someone's love interest. So first she's getting it on with the uncle and then she gets back to the room and she's so sexually frustrated. She gets it on with the Kings guard guy.

What's his name? I can't remember he is smoking hot smoking hot we all knew that he was gonna do some double d and had to here's the thing though all right we all we all knew we all know from the article that in the books that raniera ends up with the uncle but like i'm kind of crushed i kind of want her to be with the knight. It's just so romantic. Cersei Lannister was with, was it Eddard or whatever Stark? But she was still fucking her brother the entire time. I know. So in Westeros, you can have your cake and eat it too. And eat it too.

You're right. You're very right. I hope that happens because I love him. He reminds me a bit of Michelle Huseman in Game of Thrones. I know. Just a bit. Itelle hughesman game of thrones i know just a bit it's just oh just hits my heartstrings you know the interview that i sent you of the author martin talking about it all he said was i love gray characters i think a gray character is someone who's like you're not sure if they're good or not sure if they're bad and they kind of live in this gray

world and he was saying that that prince that you know the brother of the king is one of his favorite characters because he really does like kind of like walk both sides of the line yeah yeah which i agree with but he did say that he ends up marrying princess renera which is a spoiler but that's fine it's in the books whatevs but yeah it was a great great episode i felt like it just like kind of took the the season to a new level, and it just makes me very excited for the rest of it. I feel like Game of Thrones is fucking back. Here for it.

Yeah. And I'll say, Lord of the Rings. Have you started Lord of the Rings yet? No, I haven't. I need to. Come on. I know, I know. I need to.

It's so good. Yeah. I also don't know who the Asteroid Man is. Is it Gandalf? It could be. Is it Tom Bombadil? Maybe. Is it Sauron?

Probably. It's fantastic. Everyone that's like saying it's not good can go kick rocks because very good. We're in the fantasy world right now. Yeah. Living in the fantasy world. You know what else I watched that I'm way late on, but it just came out to stream, so maybe there's some other people

that are way late on it too, but I finally watched Elvis. Oh yeah? You saw it, right? I did not. What do you mean? Well, you know, Austin broke up with Vanessa.

Well, I know, but can't we just look past that? No, because you won't watch anything that like a fucking Hemsworth is in. Correction. I won't watch anything that that Hemsworth is in. I still watch Chris's stuff. I like to give him shit on the podcast, but Chris is a great actor, and I do like his stuff.

What's the other brother's name? Luke. Yeah, I watch Westworld. Westworld? Okay. Yeah, I watch Westworld. Okay, well, Elvis is phenomenal, given that a ding. Really?

Which isn't news, really. I mean, I guess there's been a little controversy over it, but for the most part, I just feel like it's gotten rave reviews. Noah has literally seen it six times. Oh, really? It's her favorite movie. I'm just a massive Baz Luhrmann fan. I like everything he's done.

And this was – I guess I haven't really seen anything new of his in a while. And so it was an interesting like mix of like, I guess I love old school Baz Luhrmann so much. And so to see like a new school Baz Luhrmann project was different. But once I kind of got past that and I really enjoyed it a lot. And I guess, I mean, the story of Elvis, like everyone knows, right? Especially like growing up in a music family, like I obviously like knew Elvis's story. But there's just something about seeing it portrayed like that in film, like same thing when Walk the Line came out, you know, about Johnny Cash. It's like, just seeing it from a different perspective like that was really interesting. And I guess I just didn't really realize how intense they were about like banning him from stuff and filming him from the waist up because of the way he moves. Like I just didn't realize how intense it really was,

you know? And how fucked up it was and just how fucked up it was that he couldn't hang out with BB King and, you know, because of segregation, like it just was all so fucked. And so it's just like a really interesting watch and um obviously like the wardrobe is phenomenal and the music is phenomenal and i highly recommend anyone to watch it if you haven't yeah austin does a great job i hate to

no he looks a lot like like this for sure yeah and then the last few scenes when he's playing older Elvis, like he's really fucking good. They got a fat suit on him? I guess so. I guess they had to. On my flight back from the SIP, I watched Top Gun Maverick again. And let me just say, that movie is so flippin' good.

It's just tipped tail, balls to the wall, badass. And I love it. And I want everyone, you haven't seen it yet, have you? No. You've seen Elvis,

but you haven't seen Top Gun. I love Elvis. I love Boss Larry Rad. I'll watch Top Gun though. Okay. I'll watch Top Gun. I'll download it for my flight to Vegas next week.

All right. You must. I started reading a new book. Oh, good. I saw one of the YFTers tweeted us, I think, about needing a book rec. So perfect timing. I'm way too early on it. And it's like very long because fucking Stephen King is very long.

But he's got a new book out called Fairy Tale. I mean, obviously, it's dark because it's Stephen King. But it's got a new book out called Fairy Tale. I mean, obviously it's dark because it's Stephen King, but it's a dark fantasy. I'm so early on in that I'm not sure really kind of like where we're going with this. But I just want everyone to know that I'm reading more Stephen King. This one is 24 hours long. So it might take a couple episodes before I finish it. Wow.

But I'm excited because you guys know how much I love Stephen King. We do. Did you know the kids are calling homecoming ho-co these days? What is homecoming? The homecoming dance. Oh, like the game? Yeah, and like the dance. You know, like high school homecoming, there's like the big game and then the dance that weekend.

Yeah. Yeah, so all the girls at the barn, they're in high school. They were like, yeah, let's see my ho-co dress. And I'm like, your what? My ho-co dress. Ho-co's this weekend. I'm like, what? They're like, homecoming.

And I was like, oh, got it. Okay, so the kids are calling it ho-co. I don't know if I like that. I don't either. And I don't know if I like how old that makes me feel. Yeah. We got a message from Kate who asked if she could submit this

as a new version of Amazon reviews. Oh. And it's a review of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle. This is the review. Subject line, garbage. Offensive.

Is this about men? One star. Offensive to blind children. Ah! offensive this is about men one star offensive to blind children oh shit man oh man that is wrong and so funny i think we have some voice notes in the dms to play i think we should check that out. Here's Zoe. Let's see what Zoe has to say. All right, here's the deal.

This isn't a favorite thing. This is a least favorite thing. All right, tell us, Zoe. Pulling up to my child's daycare and realizing I'm listening to you talk about fucking pube wigs as loud as my car speaker can go. And people are getting out of the car next to me, and someone looks over at my car because they hear the word fucking pubewig. Okay, first of all.

Thanks. Zoe. It's three words. First of all, Zoe, I don't think I said pubewigs. I said a merkle, which is what the name is. Okay? Merkle or a markle? Merkle. Anyways, which is what the name is. Okay? Merkle or Markle? Merkle.

Anyways, I never said pube wig. I mean, maybe I said it originally. I think you might have. I know. But also, Zoe, maybe they're looking over because they're like, fuck, there's another YFT right there. Yeah, maybe. All right.

She continues on. Let's see how this goes. But seriously, though, do you actually have a pube wig? Because like... Did I say I had a pube wig because like did i say how to be good you kind of did and i just get get a full-on 70s bush baby dude i'm married now so i can go full disco bush with no repercussions no repercussions sarah and i are both going just full disco bush oh god no we're not going to do that. But, I mean, I might, actually. Zoe continues on.

So, I don't know if you want us to send you more favorite things or not. Yeah, we do. But I just came across Van Andrew on TikTok and the song Sad Cowboys and Rock and Roll. And I thought that kind of sounded like something that Wells might like. I don't know if he's found him yet or not, but it's pretty good. You should give it a listen.

Alright. Sounds right up your alley, honestly. Sad Cowboy? Come on. like Jane's tea honey supple daydream come on the night is in open road don't stick fast leave all of that pain behind your arms wrapped around mine.

How fast do you want to go? Say cowboys and rock and roll. Okay, I can dig. That's good. Lori sent us a article that says, people who leave parties without saying goodbye save up to two days per year. So it says the report. So I'm just out here just saving time. Yeah.

I saw that. And my life. I am too. That's the best. I mean, honestly, it's the only way to leave is to not say bye to anyone. Otherwise, you're never going to leave. Yeah. You can never say goodbye.

No. And it's so annoying. Everyone's like never going to leave. Yeah. You can never say goodbye. No. And it's so annoying. Everyone's like, don't go. Yeah. You know what? I don't appreciate that type of peer pressure. So I'm just not going to say bye to anyone anymore. I agree.

Let's see what Sam has to say. Hey, Wilson Brandy. It's Sam. Why are you whispering? I'm from San Francisco. Wow. And I can't wait when you guys talk about your book recommendations because I feel like I vibe with both your choices.

Oh, cool. But this time I have a podcast. Are you in a library right now? I've been listening to the Morbid podcast. It's a lot of true crime, and it goes into deep dive in all these cases, and it's really interesting and super fun to listen to. So, yeah, that's what I have. All right, there you have it.
