All righty.
YFT.
WFT, YFT.
What's that?
How we doing?
I'm wearing like a polo today, a button down polo.
I'm in my, let's stop dressing like a hipster millennial.
And now let's just start dressing like someone who's in their 40s era.
I don't know how I feel about it.
But things are happening.
Things are changing in my life that makes me like, I got to, I got to start growing up.
You know, I can't be a Peter Pan forever.
I can't be flying around with the lost boys fighting Captain Hook.
No, no.
Your boy needs to go back.
He needs to leave Neverland.
He needs to find that fifth star on the right and fucking straight on until nighttime.
Because got to start dressing apart.
And I just feel like fashions are changing and me being like cool hipster guy is like not a thing anymore.
So, you know, I'm doing it.
I got nice watches on.
I'm like wearing jewelry.
Let me tell you what.
I got a nice bag.
Your boy is leaving the backpack behind?
I'll tell Brandy about it because I want her to see what I'm going with.
But anyways, I'm doing great.
I hope everyone's doing a wonderful time.
I mean, I'll tell Brandy this, but like, yeah boy got Maya adopted.
First try, first.
I mean, no big deal.
That little tripod hounder.
She got adopted immediately, which is not shocking to me because that dog was awesome.
Honestly, if Sarah was around town, I would have kept that dog.
But she said, I'm not allowed to adapt a dog while she's in New York because she wants to be a part of the choosing of the dog and the puppy part portion of it.
And I totally get it.
I totally get it.
So this is a nice little compromise.
But everyone's like, that's your dog.
Foster fail, foster fail.
I'm like, I can't do it.
But I would have if she was here because I did like that dog a lot.
But anyways, we got her adopted.
And I know we talk about traders on the show.
And obviously, if you are a fan of the traders, yeah, listen to this podcast.
But also, just so you guys know, I do have another podcast that I do with Dolores Catania,
winner of season three of Traders, of which I was on for only two episodes.
And then also Tamara Judge, who was on season two of Traders.
And we're doing a whole recap thing every week.
It's called By Order of the Traders.
So listen to that.
If you are wanting to get like real down and dirty with kind of insider baseball when it comes to Traders, you know.
and we have great interviews on.
We've had a couple people from the most recent season on.
So yeah, go check Zet out.
And, you know, if your boyfriend or you loves golf, please, I implore you, go watch my golf channel show.
It's on Wednesday mornings, 10 a.m. Eastern or 7 a.m. Pacific.
And then we've replay at 10 p.m. Eastern or 7 p.m. Pacific.
So we are double dipping on Wednesday on the golf channel.
please go watch.
I actually really like the show.
My sister called me the other day and she was like,
of all the TV I've ever seen you do,
this one you seem like the most like yourself.
I don't know how to take that,
but I think what she was saying is like you're,
you seem the most at ease in this one.
And that's because I think the show is just fun to do and good.
So anyways,
and that's all the stuff that I get.
Should we, uh,
should we do it?
Oh, it's time to come.
it is time
time is now
hello
you seem defeated
I am I just
I think I'm just old
I think I'm just past the point
of being able to do anything
let you know what let me backtrack
I was never good with technology ever
that's true you've never been good at technology
no never but now that I'm actually old
it's even worse and I can't do anything
oh man how about trying to talk
to your parents about technology dude
dude you know my dad I think I've talked
this before. My dad just screenshots pictures and sends it to us instead of just sending us the
picture. He goes and finds the picture. Then screenshots. My mom has always done this. But it's like,
just send, just send that. You're putting so many more pictures in your camera roll for no reason.
My mother also, every time she, every time my mother calls me, the phone rings. And I go,
hello. And she goes, hi, sweetheart, it's mom. No shit. If only I had this device that showed me who
was calling me, you know?
They're never going to get that.
No.
For instance, I don't know.
Maybe he won't care.
God bless him.
Anytime Kenny Chesney texts me, he like signs it.
Kenny.
Casey, like I don't know who it is.
Yeah, like he's like, maybe she didn't put my number in her phone.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah, what's that about?
It's very cute, but also I have your number saved.
Kenny, you don't need to tag it, all right?
like have like a digital signature. I don't need your autograph. One of the things that really
though does bother me about iPhone. Hey iPhone. Hey, iPhone. Hey, Apple. Fucking figure it out. Do you know sometimes
you'll be like a group chain with like some new people or whatever. And it'll be like maybe so and
so. The phone figures out that maybe it's David Johnson. And you're like. And you're like,
fuck yeah. It is David Johnson. And then you go to add contact. It doesn't just put David Johnson in
the thing, then it makes you be like, oh, what was his name?
Like, I could remember David Johnson and how to spell it.
But sometimes you'll get a name like, Tara Lipnicki.
And you're like, fuck, how did I spell?
How do you spell that?
You know?
And you have to keep on going back.
And it doesn't save it when you go to create the new contact.
If it says maybe this is so-and-so, let's just put that in there.
And then we can change it around as we see fit.
You're not wrong.
Also, did you have to update your software this week?
I don't know.
It's always happening.
Fucking screwed up everything.
my phone. Did it? Yeah, highly recommend don't update if you can get away with it because it's
it changed a lot of shit. I feel like every year they change where the search is. One year it's on
the top of the phone. Next year it's on the bottom of the phone. Next year it's who knows where.
And it's like I get so used to going, you know, like habit. Like I just go search where I search
and now it's somewhere different and it's very annoying. I too am feeling old. All right. And I was
telling the why. You've been feeling old. I didn't need that from you. All right. The wipe tears no.
all been hearing about it for a while. I mean, I'm just segueing from like, you were talking about it.
So like I also feel that way and I was telling the YFT years about it. It's not that I'm feeling old.
It's, I'm feeling like I can't dress the way I used to, you know? Like I can't be like a hipster.
I'm not a hipster anymore. You know, I don't live in East Nashville and I don't go to dive bars and see
bands until four o'clock of the morning every, you know, I don't do that anymore. So I need to be an
adult. So I am now making a concerted effort to change my style, which I do like this style that
is coming back, which seems like it's, it's like this heritage, like 80s, but then also like a
Paul Newman vibe. It's a lot of like button downs, you know, that are kind of bigger on you,
you know, with like loafers, a lot of sweaters and stuff. So yeah, I'm just going, I'm leaning,
I'm going very preppy. And I tell you what I, I tell you what I, here's the thing that
me getting old, okay?
Okay.
I made a purchase last night.
Oh.
I made a purchase.
I have a really nice to me backpack.
Okay.
You know that brand?
Oh, I know.
They're expensive, right?
They are.
I have a really nice to me backpack.
And I was like, I'm 41 years old and I'm walking around with a backpack.
Like I'm going to fucking social studies.
Like I need to, at some point, Wells, you've got to grow up.
So you know what I did?
And I don't know if this is.
you know, if it's a purse or not, I'm not really sure.
But I did get a leather, a Ralph Lauren leather tote for travel.
Wow.
I was going to get the coach one because everyone's getting the coach toad.
But then I thought, you know, I think I'm more of a, I'm more of a Ralph Lauren better.
I'm more of a heritage, old money.
Yes.
So anyways, I got that.
And so I'm just going to be a tote guy, you know?
Wow.
When I travel.
Yeah.
Have you taken the tote yet?
anywhere? I'm waiting for it to come, but do you want to see what it looks like? I would love to.
The real question is, what kind of suitcase are you rolling? I need to get a new one. You know what I
want? I want one that's like stainless steel. Have you seen those? That's what I have. Do you like it or
no? So I am a bougie bitch. I travel so fucking much though that I don't want to hear any lip from
anyone about how much I spent on a suitcase, but I have one of the Ramoa. Oh, Ramoa. Okay,
I know. Let me look at it up.
Oh, it's very pricey.
But you guys, I'm telling you, if you fly as much as me, which is literally every weekend, it is fucking worth it.
It is so nice.
Once you roll the wheels of a Ramoa suitcase, you will never look back.
Yeah, I have looked at these.
These are really expensive, but they are nice.
So here's the thing, though.
It rolls so different than any other suitcase.
Is it durable?
Yes.
I know.
Do they have one that has a little bit of like a pouch that,
opens up so you can put your laptop in it, so it's easy in and out?
They do. I think it's very limited color choices with that one.
And I'm not 100% sure that they have that one in the stainless steel style that you want.
It might be their like polycarbonate style that has the front pouch for the laptop.
But if you have your tote, can't you put your laptop there?
Yes, you're 100% right on that.
Let me show you the tote.
You can see how I went from, ooh, that's cool, to buying it within.
three minutes. I'm such an
impulsive shopper. Once I decide
I need it, then I just buy it.
I immediately have to, what are we doing here?
I mean, why put off tomorrow? What you can buy today?
All right, what's in the bag? This is my work
bag. First off, I got the cardiac tank just dangling here. I saw Jane
Birkin do it once, and I was like, oh, that's kind of cool.
Not sure how I feel about it, but
I can try it out. Okay, of course, we got
a laptop, need it.
Oh, that dropped. Maybe it's a broken
laptop now. Next,
I got a notepad, Louise Carmen
notepad. I like John Down.
Anyways, you see the bag there.
Yeah. Do you like it?
I love it. Great color.
Yeah. I think it's going to patina nice, you know?
It's going to be something that lasts for a long time.
It's big, too. Looks like it holds a lot.
Yeah, exactly.
We love that.
This is the new aesthetic. I don't know how you feel about it,
but this is where we're going that direction.
I like it. I think it's an upgrade from the graphic T's.
Yeah.
And I noticed at my engagement party that you were dressed very preppy.
And I liked it.
Thank you.
I got dressed up because I was like, I got to look good.
I mean, yeah.
I told you it was to dress chic and you did.
You took, you noted it and you did it.
You know, it's funny is that was an outfit for traders that never got to see the light of day.
Ooh.
Why have tears, you guys?
It is almost Valentine's Day?
What?
Is it just me or is the year already flying by?
well, you can't skip Valentine's Day, whether you're buying for your significant other or maybe a girlfriend, maybe girlfriends by girlfriends, Valentine's Day gifts.
A Galentine's Day.
Galentine's Day.
The best place to shop for your gals is skims.
You guys know how much.
I love the skims.
It's really the only underwear and intemence that I wear these days.
Two of my absolute faves that you cannot go wrong with are the lightweight cotton thongs.
I'm telling you guys, I wear these everywhere.
They're so comfortable.
It feels like wearing nothing.
And the perfect thing to pair them with is the fits everybody scoop brawlet.
It is my go-to brawet.
is so comfortable I could probably even sleep in it. In fact, I did after I got my boobs done. And even though
it's a brawlet, it really does make my boobs look so good. Somehow it still gives me a little lift,
even without an underwire. They have an insane, all-inclusive sizing. So you can definitely
find something that fits you perfectly. You guys got to check this out and shop my favorite bras and

shop is now open. That's where I'll be shopping for myself. Hey, way of tears, you all know how much
I love quince. I have been shopping quince now for so long. I am so obsessed with the organic
cotton boyfriend crew sweater. I have it in three colors. I wear it all the time. It's the
perfect piece to transition between seasons. You can layer it. You can wear it on its own. And I love it
so much that I actually bought Matt one for Christmas. Yes, they have the organic cotton crew sweater
in men's. I bought it for him in black. He loves it. It's the perfect piece for him to wear
when we go to nice dinners and dressier events. And he loves it so much, he's already asking for it
in more colors. Not only do I love shopping for clothes at Quin's, they also have so many great home
bath and kitchen items that are such great quality.

Speaking of a traitor, wait, should we start?
the show. Yeah, go for it. Okay. Bros and hose, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with?
Well, as I'm brandy. The older I get, I swear to God, the more Southern I get. I catch myself saying
things. Like what? Like your, like, you're, I say you're. I'm like, I'm letting it slip. I'm
going to the year, not the yore. Yeah, but here's the thing, Brady, you are Southern.
Oh, fuck, I know. There's nothing wrong with being Southern. It's the best of all the
of all the American accents, it's the best.
Not even question.
I don't know.
Especially like, I mean, Mississippi's pretty good.
Louisiana's fun, but like South Carolina.
Yeah.
It's like butter on my tongue.
It's fine.
Dude, Southern accents.
Okay, what's a better accent in America than the Southern accent?
What's your favorite accent?
I don't know.
I kind of like when it's like, when it's like, there is no accent.
non-regional diction.
That's what I have.
Yeah, you really do.
Yeah, that's California, though.
But you don't sound like a California.
Like, you know, you're not like the 101 to the 405
to the 210.
Like, you're not California.
Yeah.
Well, that's Southern California.
I was really northern California.
So it was like, oh, that's hell of tight.
Yeah.
I don't know. I don't know.
I mean, like Boston's terrible.
I mean, I love.
The northern accents aren't it.
They're terrible.
Yeah, they're not it.
You know what I do like?
The Puerto Rican from like the Bronx.
That's a good accent.
Like that's fun.
That's got like some flair to it, you know?
Very specific.
For sure.
But if you go to New York enough,
you're going to run into those people and you're like,
oh, it's fun to talk to you.
Yeah, that's true.
Okay, where was I going with all this?
Traders.
Traders.
Did they give you a dress code?
Do they say dress as fucking extravagant as possible and look ridiculous at breakfast every morning?
Like, I just don't get, there's no way all these people actually dress like this in real life.
I mean, the hot girl, what's her name from Love Island?
She came in wearing like red latex at 7 a.m. breakfast.
And I'm like, what?
And the amount of hats.
And I'm not talking like cowboy hats or, you know, baseball caps.
I'm talking like crazy fucking hats that people don't wear in real life.
It must be like the memo is like, hey, the more crazy hats you wear, the longer will keep you on the show.
No.
Okay.
So do you want the answer?
Yeah.
So you have all these conversations with producers and stuff.
And they talk to you about everything.
Like how do you want to play the game?
What are your, you know, what will be your strategy?
Who do you want to be?
Like, do you want to be a traitor?
Do you want to be a faithful?
They make it very known that Alan Brin.
brings the fashion and you need to try to like kind of match that energy.
Match that energy.
I don't think anyone can match it, but it's a little bit like, you know, he really,
the fashion's an important part of this show.
We want to make sure that that's important for you as well.
So like that's why I got a stylist for it.
And then what ends up happening is that they're like, we need, you need 15 looks.
And you're like, okay, I took all the pictures for the 15 looks.
and then they either approved or didn't approve of some looks.
And then when you got to the show, they were like,
this is what we want you in day one.
And then for day two, they were like, okay, we want you in this look
because they know what everyone else is wearing
and so that you don't want people like wearing something too similar and stuff.
So that's how the fashion works.
That's wild that it's that like premeditated.
Yeah, but it is such a big part of the show.
Yeah, I guess so.
It's also like getting in character.
Oh, but you're playing yourself.
For sure, but it still is like a murder mystery clue game, you know?
Like, that's fun to like...
I am LOLing at the thought of Love Island Rob sending in the photo of him and the overalls
with no shirt underneath.
Oh, you know they were like, fuck yes, do this.
One hundred.
The idea of him premeditating that outfit is hilarious to me.
Yeah.
Can we just talk about Michael Rappaport and Colourne.
Bolton for a second.
Yeah, you know he was on prison break.
Michael Rappaport?
Yeah.
So what does Dom have to say about Michael Rappaport?
I don't know because I haven't seen Dom, but I'm going to find out.
Okay.
But it's funny, I don't think I would know who that guy is if I hadn't watched prison break.
What are you talking about?
He was on Friends.
Do you have a huge role on Friends?
I don't know.
He was on arguably the biggest show in the history of TV.
Yeah, but was he like a guest star or did he have like a recurring role?
He had a recurring role.
I think he dated Phoebe.
Oh, see.
remember that at all. Well, anyways, he's been in a lot of stuff. He is more recently just
kind of been a talking head and like a kind of a political pundit a little bit and kind of just
annoying guy. Why does everybody hate him so much? What did he do? Well, did you see the episode where
he was like if any... No, I mean before traitors. Oh, he's just grinding. I think he's just
annoying. He's just loud. Got it. So he didn't do anything. He didn't like... Well, like, I mean,
he was a scandal. You know, he wears to starve David. I think he feels a certain way about the
Israel-Palestine thing. I think he talks about.
that a lot. For a long time, he really hated Trump. And then he kind of turned, I think,
changed his mind in the second way. And I don't know. I think he's political. And I think that
that like, you know, if you want people to just like fucking leave you alone, don't get political.
Just like, I'm good. But I wanted to talk about that, this moment of Colton and Michael
Rappaport. And, you know, everyone in the house seemed to not give a shit if Michael Rappaport was a traitor
or a faithful.
And their argument about it was,
well,
it doesn't matter
because he's a bad faithful.
But I could make the argument
against everyone
who voted for Michael
because that's in bad faith
voting for someone
you just don't like
instead of actually trying to find traitors.
Do they just not like him?
Probably.
But also,
if the argument is you're a bad faithful,
you're going to bring us all down.
Yeah.
I feel like that is strategy.
And I think that's fair.
If one faithful isn't going with the group and trying to help the group and do what's best for the faithfuls,
then I think it's fair to want them to leave.
What did you think about what Rappaport says when he's like, if anyone can keep a secret,
it's you, Colton.
And then that turns into the way that Colton received it was, oh, because I was a closeted gay man for so long,
then I can keep a secret.
That's fucked up.
And Michael was like, that's not what I meant.
I kind of think that's what he meant.
But I thought that, I assumed that's what he meant.
The other side of the coin is, is that Colton, you did keep a secret from like 30 women on a national television show under the guise of you were going to get engaged and get married at the end of them.
Not everyone's innocent here, I feel like, a little bit.
Oh, totally.
It's like what Michael said wasn't very nice, but it was kind of true.
And it was a low, it was a low blow.
It was, right?
Yeah, that's what it was.
It was like, ugh.
That's gross.
It's icky.
Yeah.
It's a low blow.
It's icky.
but I mean, but it's also true,
but just because it's true doesn't mean
you should use it against somebody.
I don't know.
I just didn't think that was fair.
Can I tell you what I really,
what really is grinding my gears about this season?
It seems really high school.
It's like in crowd and out crowd.
And I'll tell you who I can't stand
that they're ostracizing is Ron Funches.
One, because Ron is so nice, okay?
He's really funny.
And what's ended up happening is that because,
first of all,
the stuff he had on Porsche was all really good evidence,
of which a lot of other people said they heard her say,
like, yeah, when we killed them,
what do you mean we killed them?
You mean the traders killed, you know?
Like, he had a bunch of like really good evidence.
Now he's like public enemy number one.
Every time he walks into a room,
no one wants to talk to him.
On the flip side, you have Colton,
who has gone after multiple people who have been,
he has been wrong about,
and he's not like a pariah in the castle.
And I don't understand that.
And it just to me seems like,
this is high school all over again.
And when I see Ron walk into rooms,
my heart breaks for him a little bit.
You don't know.
Yeah.
I saw a clip where everyone's loving Stephen
because he's kind of stuck up for him.
And Stephen's just kind of like made really good choices
that kind of go unnoticed, I feel like,
because he's so quiet and he's just not really a big personality in this group.
But he does these subtle things that,
are very sweet. And that, and that was one of them at the roundtable. I, I remember him saying
something to Ron and it's all over TikTok about how sweetie is and everything. But yeah, I, I agree with
you. I, I think it's, I think it would be really hard to go on this show and not have like a built
posse the way the housewives do or the survivors do or Love Island or whatever it is, you know.
It is fun and I'm excited to see what comes next week. Yeah, I'm starting to get real nervous for my
girl Lisa Rennah.
Well, here's what I think's gonna happen.
I'm just looking at like who's like not on the show and who is.
That's generally a good telltale sign of like if you're not really on the show a whole lot
in the beginning, it's because you're in it a lot at the end.
So they just want to give them much screen time to people that aren't going to be lasting.
So I don't know if I think Colton's going to last much longer.
I'm not sure if Lisa is going to last much longer.
She's my favorite part of the whole show.
I know.
Well, I love Rob.
And I want Rob and Mora.
Everyone loves Rob.
I want them to bump some uglies in the castle together.
Lovely Serena.
I know.
But it is good.
This is a good season.
It's great.
Yeah,
it's really good.
But they're not,
like whoever said at the end, though,
of that last episode is like not wrong.
Like Lisa is normally a massive personality.
Oh, yeah.
She's very quiet.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I would have clocked that too.
I'd have been like,
isn't she like the most well-known housewife?
Like, what's going on?
Yeah.
But the same could be said for Durinda, too.
But Durinda, I'm sure, is like,
I'm being quiet because last time I was on this show, I was loud and I was kicked off the first time.
So, you know, so like, yeah.
Do you have other favorite things?
This won't interest you in the least.
Okay.
The new season of Tell me lies.
Just dropped.
Tell me lies.
Tell me sweet.
Yeah.
It's,
you know, it's getting a little confusing, to be honest.
And I,
and I know I'm not alone in thinking that because a lot of people on TikTok are kind of
also very confused about just everything.
Maybe that's the whole point.
Maybe that's what they want you to feel, you know, at the very beginning of a season.
I'm not really sure.
Great show though.
It really is.
I just think Grace Van Patton is a fucking star.
And I also, I don't know the girls name of the place Bree, but I just, I love her.
And right now her character is having like a really weird arc.
Last season, she made some choices that made you kind of not really like her and not want
to root for her, which is tough because she's been my favorite since the beginning.
And I just really hope that she has some sort of redeeming arc this year because I don't know.
I just feel like it could go either way.
and I don't know, I just love her character.
I don't want, I don't want this to be.
I don't want her to have peaked last season and go away.
And I hope she, I hope she sticks around and has some sort of redeeming arc.
I personally like her than, then Grace's character, who's the main character.
But anyway, great show.
Bree's name in real life is Catherine Missal.
She's amazing.
Obsessed.
Lucy Albrighton, Stephen Del Marco, quickly fall into an addictive entanglement that will
permanently alter their lives and the lives of very lives.
Everyone around them.
A tumultuous and intoxicating relationship unfolds over eight years.
Tell me lies on Hulu and Disney Plus.
I cannot believe you didn't open with what I thought you were going to open with.
Tell me.
Lies?
No.
A night of the seven kingdoms.
Oh, is this out?
Oh, it came out.
Oh, I don't know.
This is so exciting.
Is it good?
I watched the first episode last night and let me tell you, I fucking love it.
All right?
Wait, is it better than House of the Dragon?
I think so.
Really?
Well, maybe that's because I'm a boy, and this is about a, this is a guy story.
You know, there's not going to be dragons in this.
There's not going to be magic and like all that stuff.
This is just a story of this knight, Duncan the Tall,
who apparently George R.R. Martin wrote a couple novellas to kind of,
it's like in between times.
It's in between like the two shows in terms of timeline.
Okay.
But I've seen on TikTok a bunch of references from Game of Thrones and from House of Dragon where they talk about this guy.
A century before Game of Thrones, Sir Duncan the Tall and his squire Egg wander through Westeros while the Targaryen dynasty ruled the Iron Throne.
And dragons were still remembered.
Great destinies and enemies await the incomparable friends.
A Knight of the Seven kingdoms on HBO,
Okay. Basically, it's a two-man. You have Sir Duncan the Tall, which is played by Peter Coughley, who's very handsome. And I don't know him from anything before this, but he's tall and he's really good. And it starts out with he's a squire for a night and the night dies. And he's like burying the night. And then he takes his sword and his shield and his horses. And he's like, what do I go do? And then it's like, I'm going to go to like the next tournament and see if.
I could win the tournament as a night.
He goes to a bed and breakfast or whatnot or like an inn.
And the stable boy is this little bald kid named Egg.
Egg asked if he can be his squire because he notices that Sir Duncan the tall doesn't
have a squire.
Sir Duncan the Tall is like, no, you're a child and absolutely not.
And so then he leaves, he goes in the town and egg follows him and convinces him to let him be
is Squire. Sir Duncan at tall, his personality is like he's just a good person. You can tell like
the story arc for this guy is everyone around you is shitty and you're a good guy. Like you're a good
human. And so he's really, really likable. And it's kind of similar to like a lot of big men that
you meet. Like I played rugby with a lot of like really big guys. You're married to one. The bigger you are,
the like kinder you are and sweeter you are a lot of times. You're so used to.
kind of scaring people with your size.
Anyways, the story, just from the first episode,
I was like, fuck, yes, I'm so excited for this.
I mean, there's, like, a good chance that egg might,
the reason why his head shaved is because he's very blonde,
because he's a Targaryen.
And maybe Egg is short for Egg on, you know, like,
so there's, like, fun stuff like that.
I don't know, just you have got to, like,
the first episode, I was like, yes, I'm so excited for this show.
Okay.
Yeah.
And it's HBO, I'm assuming?
Yeah.
Sick.
Speaking of HBO.
Yeah.
Have you ever gotten into the pit?
No.
Wells, you have to.
No, everyone's doing it.
I don't want to do it.
It's so fucking good.
Season two just dropped.
I'm a little confused because Noah Wiley's character, Dr. Robbie, is the main character.
And he's the reason everybody started watching the pit because everyone loved him in ER.
We've come full circle.
He is now the lead doctor.
or lead surgeon in the pit.
There's been two episodes to come out
since the beginning of episode one.
He has hinted that he's leaving.
Like,
so the thing I love the most about the pit
is the way they,
uh,
shoot it and release episodes is so cool.
Every episode is one hour,
one actual hour in real time in the ER.
So one full season is one day.
Very cool.
And he teases,
you know,
at the 7 a.m.
first episode or whatever it is like,
yeah,
I'm leaving tomorrow for like a like a permanent sabbatical or like,
you know,
indefinite spatical.
however he words it.
And it's like, what the fuck?
There is no show without Dr. Robbie.
If he signed on to just do this for two seasons and is leaving,
I'm going to be fucking devastated.
Devastated.
You really should watch it.
It's so good.
It won a lot of awards.
The actors are amazing.
A lot of cool new faces.
I just love it.
Okay.
And everyone says,
everyone in the medical field that watches it says it's the most accurate medical drama they've
ever seen.
Really?
That's right here.
I mean, obviously it's killing right now.
winning everything.
Everyone's loving it, including George Clooney,
who they're like, would you ever come back, you know?
That would be sick.
That would be sick.
I never liked ER.
I never liked Grey's Anatomy.
What's wrong with you?
I mean, the one I did like was Scrubs,
which is coming back, by the way.
Is it?
Which I'm like.
I never got into that one.
Oh, that was my favorite one because it was a comedy
where the other ones are just like,
we got to get a rape kit.
And out of it's like, Jesus Christ, dude.
This is, it's Thursday.
night. All right. I'm having Salisbury steak. I don't want to, this is too much for me.
Yeah. But I'm glad that you're liking it. Oh, I'm loving it. Speaking of rape kit.
Yeah. Weird. Weird. Weird. So Landman has been out. I guess last week's episode was the finale,
season finale, which I didn't understand because it didn't feel like a finale to me at all. You're not
watching Landman, are you? I'm not watching Landman now. Oh, Wells. The season's been,
it's a little hit or miss. Matt and I, it's one show that.
Matt and I watched together and he loved season one.
I think this is season two.
And he has not been loving this season.
For whatever reason,
it's a lot less scenes out like in the oil field,
which is where all the action is and just a lot more drama.
And I've been seeing like a lot of hate on TikTok just specifically centered on the
scenes around like some of the romances.
I think everyone's like,
this is cheesy.
We didn't come here for the love story.
We came here to see shit go down on the oil field and like whatever.
So there's this,
There's a character, her name's Kayla, and she's a lawyer.
And her character was so badass in season one.
She's just this like cutthroat young lawyer that's so fucking good at her job.
And she is just a beast.
And then this season, they kind of gave her this love story line.
And it is not good.
Like, no one likes it.
I don't like it either.
And I don't really like seeing her character.
For whatever reason, I don't like seeing her character like that.
But I love her character as like the lawyer.
And so at the very end, not to ruin it for you guys.
It's not really a spoiler, but you know, just the last episode, I don't even think he's in it at all.
Like the love interest, it's just her being this badass lawyer.
It's so good.
It's why I loved her character in season one.
I think everyone will be really happy to kind of see that part side of her character come back in the very end.
And then the other thing that's interesting, I don't know if you heard, but last week, they had a scene where Ainsley goes to college and her roommate is non-binary.
And there's this, like, really controversial scene of, like, Michelle Randolph's.
character kind of being like I don't really get pronouns like you know I think it's obvious what mine are
like she kind of like really fires back and is is not it's you know it's very uh anti woke I guess
her character is the acting and it got so much heat and so much shit last week and this week
you know I was really curious to see like what they did with that and this week they really like
sort kind of tied it all in like a really pretty bow because the characters end up finding some
common ground and common interest in this last episode. And it appears like they're going to start
like a really beautiful friendship. And I think that's really cool. I think it was a cool way to like,
you know, all the controversy of last week's episode and, you know, whether you, whichever side
you agree on, it definitely sparked all this conversation about it and about the show, which is, you know,
great PR. And then I just, I think the way that they finished the arc of that in this season was
really cool and like a really cool way to bring a topic like that into a show like landman.
Speaking of Lamb Man, if you are golf fans, you should watch my golf channel show 10 a.m.
Eastern or 10 a.m. or 10 p.m. Eastern on Wednesday because this week, you know who we've got on?
Billy Bob. Andy Garcia.
Ew. I forgot you playing golf with him. Yeah. And he's in Landman.
Love his character this season. And his wife.
who was on Gray's Anatomy.
She is so hot.
Yeah.
All the wives on the show are just so hot.
I forget her character's name or the actress's name,
but I loved her in Grace and I love her in this.
And it looks like Andy's character will stick around for the next season
and have really, I think, an even bigger role than he did this season, which is cool.
I will not probably watch Lamb Man, but there is a Taylor Sheridan show that I will watch
that's coming up soon.
It's called The Madison.
Yeah, you're going to watch that.
Yeah, because my buddy, Kevin Zegers, is in it.
And so I've been hearing so much about it just from him, but like Michelle Pfeiffer is in it.
Yeah, my friend Danielle's in it.
Patrick J. Adams is in it.
Kurt Russell's in it.
Oh, really?
And Matthew Fox.
Oh, crazy.
It's some sort of Yellowstone spin off, right?
Yeah.
A New York family's life unravels after a tragedy as they process grief while
vacationing in rural Montana, exploring human connection amidst profound sorrow.
The Madison.
Sounds great.
Once that come out?
I don't know.
Soon, I think.
Yeah.
Have you started watching his and hers?
No, but I want to.
Is it good?
Oh, it's so good, dude.
I love Tessa Thompson.
I love John Barthol.
I love Tessa Thompson as well.
It is fucked up.
I don't know what, like, I'm only like two episodes in.
I'm like, I don't know what this shows.
Like, who, I don't know who the bad guy is.
I don't know who the good guy is.
I think maybe everyone's bad or everyone's good.
I'm not really sure.
A journalist investigating a murder in her hometown clashes with a suspicious detective.
There are two sides to every story and someone is lying.
His and hers on Netflix.
Okay, so the journalist is Tessa Thompson.
and the detective is John Barrenthal.
The detective, so there's a murder of the first episode,
and you find out that John Barrenthal was having a relationship with the person who was murdered,
could have been there, like they find her car like in the woods,
could have been there that night.
Then you meet Tessa Thompson, who's a journalist in Atlanta,
but she's coming into town because she used to live there,
come to find out she's still married to John Barenthal's character,
the detective.
So she's doing the story.
She's getting all these hot tips.
And then you find out that Tessa Thompson's character
was also like best friends with the murder victim in high school
and all the other high school friends in the clique are still there.
And it's all like this incestual.
And it's like the small town in Georgia.
Oh, it is so good.
Okay.
I'm into it.
That sounds great.
I've been wanting to start that.
Oh, yeah.
And then Tessa Thompson has.
This is the best part.
So Desa Thompson, something bad happened to her kid.
Her kid passed away.
So she took a leave of absence from work.
So then she's no longer on the desk.
So when she comes back, this like hot blonde has replaced her as like the main anchor of like the big TV station in Atlanta.
She was like, you're letting this white girl take my job?
That's pretty fucked up.
Which I was like, I agree with that.
Anyway, so she was like, well, let me go and do this story about this murder that happened in this town.
The guy that owns the station's like, are you sure?
like you're a lead anchor.
You don't need to be going out in the field.
And she's going to let me go.
And he's like, all right, you can go.
And he asks who you want for your cameraman.
And she chooses the blonde's husband who also works as the cameraman.
Anyways, they fuck immediately.
You have got to watch the show.
Fantastic.
Okay.
Great.
Love it.
It is messy.
It is dirty.
It is everything you want.
And a hard-boiled detective psychological thriller suspense mystery, who'd done it?
Damn, all right.
Have you watched the new Ben Affleck Matt Damon movie?
I watched it the other night, The Rip.
We started it, but I fell asleep.
What's the review?
Okay.
A group of Miami cops discovers a stash of millions in cash leading to distrust
as outsiders learn about a huge seizure, making them question who to rely on.
The Rip. So it takes place in Miami. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are partners for like kind of like an anti-drug DEA
task force, right? So there's two types of houses that you have stash houses where like all the
money that you made from selling drugs, you put that money somewhere. Then you have a drug house
where like you're making the drugs or you're selling drugs out of it. And those are two different
places, right? And so they kind of focus on like going to where the stash houses is for the money.
then it's like, but who's the good guy, who's the bad guy?
Are you stealing from these people?
Like, what's going on?
It starts with a murder and the girl that gets murdered is also part of this task force
and she's texting someone.
You're not really sure who it is, but I think you kind of assume it's Matt Damon's character.
Matt Damon's kind of like the lead detective or like the boss and Ben Affleck is like kind
of just like one under him.
And so there's a lot of power struggle.
I mean, like at the end of the day, it's a, it's just a, it's a cop drama.
it's like a very cut and dry cop drama where you're like not sure who the good guys are you're not sure who the bad guys are there's a lot of gun fighting but the thing that this has that other cop dramas don't have is two guys who are leading the film of whom have amazing chemistry over the past 30 years right like they're so good together on camera yeah they are to me I'm like the story isn't like crazy good you know but I'm like but watching these two guys
work together is still very compelling to me.
That's my pitch to you.
Okay.
We'll probably watch like to finish it.
I'm,
I'm sure that's a Matt special right there.
Oh, yeah, Matt's the one of picked it.
Yeah, it is fun, though.
And there's a girl that I wasn't familiar with who's so good,
Sasha Calle is,
she's got a lot of scenes up against Ben Affleck and Matt Damon,
and she holds her own, which is impressive.
Oh, you know who also's in it?
Kyle Chandler.
He is?
Yep.
He's in fucking everything.
He is.
Stephen Yang's in it.
Treyanna Taylor, who was just in one battle after another.
Yeah, she's amazing.
I mean, the cast is insanely.
Okay.
Impressive.
Yeah.
Glad you brought that up because that was one of the things that I watched recently.
The last thing that I watched was one last adventure,
the making of stranger things.
You remember when Game of Thrones did like this documentary about like the end,
The last season and it was like, whatever.
It's like that.
I don't know if I needed it.
If I'm being honest with you.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I actually like those things.
I mean, it's interesting.
It seems like they're gearing up for something else.
They keep talking about this like spin-off that they're going to do.
I think that they're going to make a Stranger Things movie.
That's what I think is going to happen.
Yeah.
Like with this cast.
Yes, they'll do a spinoff on Netflix, but I think they're going to make a movie with the cast.
Got it.
It's fun to watch like the kids audition tapes.
when they're that little and then, you know,
they grew up to be and all that kind of stuff.
So that's fun.
You know what I was thinking about the other day?
What's that?
I was thinking about nepo babies.
You know, a lot of people are against nepo babies, you know?
I mean, technically I'm one.
100% you're a nepo baby.
You know?
But you know who was the OG nepo baby?
Who?
J.C. was the O.C.N.B.
Okay.
Jesus Christ was a nepo baby.
Oh, you got into the same line of work as your dad.
Really?
I bet that was pretty easy.
I bet because you were the son of God, you were bestowed some things that other people weren't.
Like the ability to walk on water or the ability to change water into wine or make fish and loaves out of nothing, all right?
Of course you became a god.
Nepo baby.
You love to piss off the religious folk.
Oh, come on. It's funny. You have to see it.
You love it. You live for it.
I mean, I honestly think that like if Jesus was sitting here right now, he would laugh at that.
That's funny. It's something.
Here's the thing, though. I'm 100% right.
Like, a hundred percent right.
Well, I have nothing hands in tempo babies, clearly.
We've talked about this a lot. Like, how many freaking Italians do you know that are,
owners of Italian restaurants because their dad was
everyone does the same shit that your parents do because
that's what you learn how to do when you grow up.
It's so stupid. But anyways, I was thinking about that.
I was like, Jayce's the OGNB. What a tagline.
What a tagline. That's got to be the name of the episode.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I'm really proud of that bit. I know that you don't like it.
It's a good one. Okay. It's a good one.
All right. Thank you.
I'll play one last video and then I'll be good
the fuck out of here.
Okay.
There's a guy
that I'm pretty sure
it's a vampire
on TikTok.
I feel happy.
I feel healthy.
I'm a human being.
Okay.
So for everyone
that's not watching this
on like Instagram,
it's this guy
who definitely looks
like he could be
an evil villain
in a Bond film
and he is
opening these gate doors
and looking into camera
saying he's happy,
he's healthy,
he's healthy and then he says this.
I'm a human being.
Oh!
So you're a human being.
So I just wanted to read some of the comments.
Hey bro, how do you feel about garlic?
What blood type is your favorite?
Let's go for a little chat in the sun.
I like garlic knots to you.
Two truths and one lie.
Yeah, okay, bud covering my neck.
I feel happy.
I feel healthy.
I'm a human being.
Are you?
Why don't you walk on out and out of the shade there, bud?
That guy's definitely a vampire and it made me happy.
What do you got coming up?
Last like chill week, so, you know, I'm going to try to enjoy it, I guess.
I'm going to New York next week, wish you were going to be there.
Go see the show.
Popping in, I think I'm only staying one night.
We'll see, though.
The weather looks fucking terrible.
It looks like the high is like 24 degrees.
It's been the day I'm going to be there.
And no sun.
Oh, of course not.
It's winter.
Not sure I want to be there longer than 24 hours, if I'm honest.
But I am going up there to DJ a charity event.
Oh, good for you giving back.
I'll get some more info on it next week.
I don't really have a ton.
What I do know is that it's for this thing called Backline.
And it is essentially, I think this is the launch party for it,
But essentially it's this hotline for artists, creatives, musicians to call basically 24-7-365 anytime.
That's like a mental health hotline.
So anybody that needs to talk about anything at any time can call, which is pretty cool.
And they're doing this big launch party in New York.
And I think Questlove is playing it too.
And they asked me to DJ, which is pretty fucking cool.
So I'm going to go do that.
Oh, yeah.
And then I think I'm going to see Hillary Duff next week.
Oh.
Which is very exciting.
Wait, is Hillary Duff on the outs
With like a bunch of other moms?
Or is that?
There's some mom drama, yeah.
No, that's Ashley Tisdale.
Yeah, Ashley Tisdale's not looking so great right about now.
But she's the one who said that she was kicked out of the mom group, right?
She said she left the mom group.
Oh, okay.
She said it was her choice to leave.
I'm pretty sure.
All I know is that you know Hillary Duff's married to Matthew Coma, which is so crazy.
Do you know who that is?
No.
Oh, wow.
He's a musician, artist, songwriter.
He was on a bunch of.
a big idiom tracks back in the day.
But he like made a video backing his wife, which as he should.
Love that.
We love the supportive husband.
And yeah, there's been some drama.
But Hillary's out here releasing new music.
She's fucking crushing.
I have some mixed feelings about her newest song.
I want to like it.
I love the melody.
It's very nostalgic sounding.
I love that.
The lyrical content is questionable.
But I still love her so much.
And I was her biggest fan back in the day.
And I know all the words to all of the music that she put out.
during her days on Disney Channel,
and I can't wait to go sing along.
Nice.
Yeah.
I love it.
Well, if you go talk to her,
find out what's happening
with the mom trauma.
Yeah, like,
what is the tea?
Like,
what is the tea on the mom group?
It's Megan Trainor is my favorite part
of this mom group
because she just gets on TikTok
and makes funny videos
without actually getting involved.
And it's hilarious.
Megan Traynor,
I want to be friends with her.
I think she seems cool as shit.
I've met her.
She's very cool.
Yeah, she seems,
Cool. I feel like we would be friends.
It's messy and I like it.
Yeah.
Is that bad?
Yeah.
Oh, it's bad to like that.
Yeah.
Well, the heart wants with the heart wants.
Well, that's really exciting.
What are you doing?
I'm hanging here and then at the end of the month.
So on the 27th, I go to Orlando.
So from the 29th through the first, I'm playing in the Hilton Grand Vacation
tournament of champions with the LPGA players and a bunch of other well-known people and celebrities and
musicians and actors. So I'll be there. Joey Grazadee from The Bachelor will be there. Ben Higgins
will be there. And then, you know, Blake Griffin and Chandler Parsons from like basketball
fame and, you know, like a bunch of like baseball players and football players. Ray Allen's going to
be there. And I think Victor Cruz. Anyways, it's a really fun time. And if you're in Orlando,
Tickets are usually free.
So you should come out there, support these women who are so fucking good at golf.
Then you can hang out with us because, you know, you can come out and talk to us and we'll go talk to you guys.
That's cool.
So anyways, come out for the tournament of champions in Orlando 29th through the first.
Hopefully you get some good weather.
I know.
And hopefully I play well.
Because I'm on the golf channel now.
Oh, yeah.
You can't be like out there being an embarrassment.
No, no.
Absolutely not.
All right. Well, see you later.
See you later.
Bye.
