Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Jesus stingray? Iconic

Episode Date: February 21, 2024

In case you didn’t know, it was recently President’s Day, so Wells starts the show with a few minutes of in-character dialogue as a President of the past. He then joins us in the present day and brings attention to the fact that the word iconic is way too overused and there’s a stingray who is maybe going to produce a Jesus Christ stingray. Your hosts discuss Love is Blind and how you definitely shouldn’t say you look like Megan Fox unless you’re her literal twin. Wells shares a few things he wishes he knew before marriage, Brandi wants to know how you pronounce Nevada, and they take calls from the YFTers!

Oh, was I given a new soundboard? Yep, I do. I have a new soundbite. That's nice. That's a good one. How's everyone doing out there? We're doing great. It's raining again in Los Angeles because, I don't know, atmospheric river? What asshole came up with that? I was like, listen, it's gonna be really, really rainy. What are we gonna call it? What's happening in the world? And so, that's annoying. But what can one do? Today is President's Day, which is pretty classy.

I cannot tell a lie. We're marking President's Day today. Four score and seven years ago. This day observes the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. They were born on the same day. Today to honor all former presidents in the U.S. That the only thing we have to fear is

fear itself. Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country. Happy President's Day. It's showtime. Happy President's Day to all you IFTers. I know this is coming out

two days after President's Day, but I'm recording it on President's Day, so this is what you're getting, okay? Crazy thought. What if we move the Super Bowl back one week? Okay? So, I don't know, maybe one extra playoff

game or something? I don't know how that works. Or they just had a couple weeks off or three weeks off. And then you had the Super Bowl on Sunday, the day before President's Day, and then you got the next day off. That's what I'm running on. To the American people out there,

your humble servant, Wells Adams, here to declare his bid for presidency, running on one thing and one thing only, that we move the Super Bowl back one week

so on President's Day you can stay in bed hungover instead of making up some bullshit about why you can't come into work the Monday after the Super Bowl. I decree!

All right. Let's after the Super Bowl. I decree! Alright. Let's call the brand guy. Time to call her up now. She doesn't know I'm running for president. She probably wouldn't vote for me anyways. She'd be like, oh, cute. Running for president? Cute. Not gonna vote for you.

Hello? Hello. What's up? Hi. How's it going? It's going. I was talking to the wife two years before I called. She said it's President's Day, even though it's coming out a couple days after President's Day. Holidays are just like, ugh. Like, holidays just happen to be like the one day where I typically need some answers from people that have been out all weekend.

Oh, yeah. And it's Monday and I need some answers. And I've gotten bounced so many out of office emails. I'm like, do we need to be out of office on President's Day? I don't know. I mean, if you have a nine to five, 100% but you and I have weird jobs. I don't get the luxury of ever truly being out of office ever. I feel like I've realized recently

and it's really bad and I need to figure out how to be on my phone less without like my career taking a hit. Yeah. But, but it's hard. Like I truly feel so attached to my phone. Like I feel like I need to be like able to respond to anybody at any time that asks me any question about anything, whether it's the podcast, my DJ stuff social media like anything but i don't like that feeling being like so tethered to the phone yeah i think that you should have a rule of like after 5 p.m like it's just kind of bad form to be answering anything i was thinking after 8 p.m or 9 p.m yeah no i usually i usually wait until after if it's if it's like past, I'm like, you can wait until tomorrow. Unless they hit me up at like 3, and then I should have responded.

So I was telling the YFTers that my idea for a perfect world, why don't you just push the Super Bowl back one more week or have another week of playoffs, and then you have the Super Bowl this weekend. And then you get Monday off. And then what the fuck? Genius. I don't know what we're doing. And then you have to play that game with your

boss of like, I got the flu. You go get the flu the day after the Super Bowl? Did you really? Oh, wow. Okay. You're right. I know I'm right. Yeah. Dag nabbit. Who really gives a shit anyways if it's one more week?

It doesn't really matter to any of us. Nah. It's stupid. I think they just like should start football one week later then, right? Yeah, or do that. Exactly. Or have two buys. Hmm.

I don't know. That seems too long though for the players. They probably want to get it going. I think the players like more time off. Really? I mean, I don't know that seems too long though for the players they probably want to get it going I think the players like more time off really? I mean I don't know I feel like if you take time off though then you like start mentally kind of being not in the zone and like physically you've got to be working out as much anyway

so you might as well just play not to be a dick but it's not about the players it's about their entertainers alright it's about the the players. It's about their entertainers. All right? It's about the people who pay for it. It's about the clients. You're right. And it's burped a little bit.

Poppies will do that to you. I'm telling you, this is not an ad, but gosh dang it, if poppies aren't the best thing in the world. I love them. My poops have been phenomenal recently. Really? Yeah, really helped my gut health. Oh, wow. I don't notice a change in my poos, to be honest,

but I love poppies. I feel like you got good poos anyways. I do, yeah. Yeah, that's not me, but I have been recently. So there you go. Shout out. Please sponsor the pod. I know.

I just had the founder on my other show, my cooking show. So we do need to reach out to them and be like, this is what you guys, Podcast Nation, clip this part right here, send it over to them and say, Wells wants his poppy to sponsor the podcast. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you watch the People's Choice Awards at all?

Yeah. Why would I do that? I don't know. Because Miley might have won something. Oh, I don't know. You know, maybe I shouldn't know because Miley might have won something. Oh, I don't know. You know, maybe I shouldn't say this, but coming off the Grammys, which are a real big deal, and not to say that people's choice awards are like not a big deal, but in comparison, it's like we just did the Grammys.

Like, we're good. Yeah, I think that you're like. Did you go? No. Oh, okay. My mother broke through Do Not Dist you're like, you go. No. Oh, okay. Oh, my mother broke through. Do not disturb. Well,

answer it. Let's find out. So important. I already, well, I texted her this morning and said, FaceTime you when you're awake. So that's,

Oh, that's on you. That's on me. But yeah, you FaceTime with your mother constantly. Why? Just to chit chat, just to gossip,

shoot the shit, talk trash on the rest of the family you know like yeah but why facetime why would you not i don't want to face out with my parents it's tish i know but it's still your mom no we facetime like almost every day really yeah that's crazy there are there are few people that I talk to on the phone that I'm not FaceTiming. Like if I'm going to call somebody, it's going to be a FaceTime or I don't want to talk to you. Really? Yeah.

It's like my besties that don't live here, which are like Val Marta in LA. Like if I'm going to call them, I'm just going to FaceTime them. You don't FaceTime me. We don't talk on the phone either. I guess we're FaceTiming right now, technically. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. There's no phone calls in my life anymore unless it's a business call. You're either so, we're either so close that we're going to FaceTime or we're not close

enough to ever even talk on the phone. Have you been seeing all the Apple VR thing, whatever it's called? Yeah, I don't know what those are, but I saw a TikTok of a lady running into her microwave and then it was funny. That's funny. Do you think that we're all going to do that? Yep. You do?

I do. Because every time something crazy comes out, everyone's like, I won't be that person. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not going to do that. And then you do it. Like when everybody started getting iPads instead of computers, I was like, I will never. Yeah. And here I am in 2024 with an iPad as a computer.

Oh, I like the iPad. I don't think I've had a problem with that. I will say this. Oh, I had a massive problem. I think I'm going to hold out. I think I'll try it out and I think I'll think it's cool. You know? But I'm going to hold out until they're just like Ray-Bans.

When they're just sunglasses, then fine. But like walking around with that big fucking thing in your face? Yeah. And then you've got to have a battery pack? No. It's not for me i mean and also i don't yeah i don't know i will say this i think i got i think i gotta cut down on the on the tiktok same i'm starting to really get like it's a bad thing i know yeah i've tried to be better about

posting to tiktok yeah but because of that i'm now on it more and I don't like that. Yeah, I used to have things that go viral on TikTok and not anymore. But I did actually yesterday had one that went kind of viral, but like now it's all relative. Which one? Oh, you want me to play it for you? Sure. For some reason, this came across my TikTok of this girl talking about Taylor Swift having pit stains in the box at the Super Bowl. Here you go. Here you go.

My friend was in her box and I'm freaking out. Let's get into it. Let's get into it. Let's get into it. It's so dumb that that's going viral. Oh, I know. But it's funny. I can't stand vocal fry. And you know what? Another thing is that I can't stand. Hey guys, can we stop using the word

iconic? We are over using the word iconic. All right. Because, yeah, we are. And you are definitely guilty of this. I've seen it on your thing. And not everything can be iconic. All right. Because if everything is iconic, then it's just mid. No, it's not. Yeah. Okay.

The things that you say, like, are iconic. There are, like, 17 things that are iconic in the history of American civilization. All right. Who says who? If it's iconic, it's like something that lives forever in time. Miley performing at the Grammys. Iconic.

No! It was good. It was iconic. It was really, really good. Iconic. In a hundred years, people are not going to be talking about that, being like, that was a watershed moment in time. They might. You don't know. You're not going to be talking about that, being like, that was a watershed moment in time. They might. You don't know.

You're not going to be here. I'm not. You're right. And also, that's not the thing. It's when people are like, those boots are iconic. What? No, they're not. Those are just boots.

All right? They're leather boots. They're just regular boots. They're not iconic. To that person, they might be iconic. To that person, they'd have no understanding of what an icon is first of all you have to be an icon to be iconic okay and yes this is an icon i'm i love no she is yeah no yeah no your sister yes yes she yes your dad yes

but you don't get like seven people in your family to be icons of the of the world that's not how it works but also it's not even it's not like your sister performing at the Grammys okay that one might be iconic

but when people are like oh my my God, that purse is iconic. No, it's not. That's just a fucking Louis Vuitton purse. Okay? It's like when we started doing the like, people were using the word literally, like literally way too often. And then when you do that, it takes away the power of the word because then it's not, when literally it was a thing,

it was like, that's not even literally what it is. That's figuratively what it is. So you don't even understand like what the word is. And when we were starting to do with iconic, then things are become, that we're saying iconic,

make the things that are actually iconic kind of like watered down. That's all I'm saying. So we got to stop with that. Yeah. Yeah, no. No one's going to do that. No.

But. My mother. What does your mother want? What does the icon want? I tried you. I tried you. Do you want to start the show? Oh, yep.

Yeah, we should do that. Me or you? I have no clue.

Maybe. Maybe. I don't know. It's very subjective, honestly.

Yeah, that's true. Have you seen the story about the stingray who is like... Yes. Maybe going to produce a Jesus Christ stingray? I have. I've heard about it. Okay. So if you haven't heard about the Stingray in Charlotte,

there's a Stingray in Charlotte that is pregnant in like an aquarium, right? Right. But the thing about it is immaculate conception. They don't know who the father is because there's no male Stingrays in said tank. Or do they like, is there a male with, and they just like thought it was a female? No, there's, I think she's the only thing in the tank that's a stingray. Oh. A pregnant stingray at North Carolina Aquarium has become an overnight celebrity and many are wondering who the father is. You know what we need here? Because it might be an immaculate conception.

Could be. Charlotte, a round stingray at Aquarium and Shark Lab by Team Echo in Hendersonville, is pregnant with as many as four pups. Is that what we call baby stingrays, pups? Okay. I guess so. But she hasn't shared her tank

with any male stingrays in the last eight years. What? She could soon deliver. But as of Sunday afternoon, Charlotte still hadn't had her pups. But she did get some much-needed rest alongside a horseshoe crab in her tank after meeting a lot of her fans, according to the aquarium's latest TikTok. Could be a false pregnancy? Yeah, maybe. But how did she get pregnant?

Some are saying Charlotte could have been impregnated by one of the five male sharks in the tank. Sharks? Well, stingrays are sharks, technically. Oh. Charlotte was found engulfed with shark bites, which could signal that she mated with a shark. There might be like a shark stingray baby coming up, a TikToker user said.

Very interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who suggests that Charlotte could have fertilized her own eggs. Either way, you're getting stingray Jesus or stingray shark ray. So what do you think? Do you think that, do you think it's a Jesus stingray? No, I do not. So you think the sharks impregnated her?

I think so. Because like, listen, hear me out. Okay. I'm no biology expert by any means. Marine biologist. Let's just start with that. Yeah. Huh?

Marine biologist. Any of that. Specifically. Not any of that. Yeah. marine biologist any of that specific not not any of that yeah however uh like isn't this how basically like how certain species were probably created is like yet they mix together and make new species of things and that's how we're all here i don't think so come on yeah that's not i don't think that's really how evolution works i think yeah no i think evolution is just no i think it's just um

like think about like a mutation in your genes but you're still like whatever that initial thing was okay hear me out though what about like mules yeah so a mule is a donkey and a horse yeah right yeah i guess i mean yeah yeah yeah you're Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Like those things were created because two things crossbred. Yeah. So like, isn't that how things get created is crossbreeding? I don't know if that's like really how like evolution works because mules can't reproduce. Right. I don't think that this is a stingray shark.

Maybe the stingray shark can't reproduce. Yeah, maybe so. We don't know. Yeah. I don't think that this is a stingray shark. But maybe the stingray shark can't reproduce. Yeah, maybe so. We don't know. Yeah. I don't know. If you keep on reading that article, there is a marine biologist that's like, no, this is a thing that happens in the wild a good bit. Shark pregnancy is likely the result of parthenogenesis. Parthenogenesis?

Parthenogenesis. Parthenogenesis? Parthenogenesis. Which is? A rare method of asexual reproduction where a female can produce an embryo without fertilizing an egg with sperm, AP reported. Cases of parthenogenesis have been recorded in more than 80 other species, including a zebra shark, a python, and a python, according to National Geographic. For millions of years, animals have reproduced via parthenologists, which first emerged in some of the smallest, simplest organs, National Geographic says. Most animals that

procreate through parthenogenesis are small invertebrates such as bees wasps ants and aphids which can alternate between sexual and asexual reproduction but this could be the first documented case of it happening with a round stingray according to scientists quote i'm glad the round stingray is getting the media attention it deserves it's not necessarily as sexy as a white shark, but they do a lot of really neat stuff. Like fuck their own bodies to make. Oh, yikes. Yeah. I don't know.

We'll see. Next week we'll come back and we'll find out. Brandy thinks that it's a shark stingray. Or if I think this is the second coming of Jesus Christ. What if, what if, what if it was? I'm on the edge of my seat. What if Jesus was like, I never said I was going to come back as human. I could come back as anything.

I created all of God's creatures. Why are you so self-indulged that you think that I would come back as a human? I'd come back as a fucking stingray. They're beautiful, majestic creatures. You know what they are? You know what they are? Iconic. They are.

They are. Have you ever swam with them? I have. I swam with them in Belize. no antigua antigua oh you went there yeah i went to the same place you went to and it's not it's not antigua it's and antigua that's how they said that's how they said but yes that is uh that's where i swam with them they were very they were very lovely they are very cute very cute anyways very sweet. Very sweet. Just wanting a treat. Just out here looking for treats. Yeah.

You got some favorite things, bro? Or what's going on? Have you started the new season of Love is Blind? No. But I did see. So I saw that this one girl says that she looks like Megan Fox. And then he meets her. And he's like, no.

Okay. Wait. I haven't gotten that far yet. Okay. But that's just on social media. Okay. Okay. Yeah.

I'm trying to stay off of TikTok because I'm starting to see some spoilers. And I haven't gotten that far yet. Okay, but that's just what's on social media. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I'm trying to stay off of TikTok because I'm starting to see some spoilers and I don't want that. Yeah. But what's, okay, there's a lot of love triangles this season. Ooh. And I don't know if it's just they have,

that maybe there have been in the past and they just haven't shown as much of each person's, you know, relationship. Yeah. That's very possible. But all of a sudden, they're like really giving a lot of camera time to like the guys that have two girls you know and dirty dogs this one guy he's got two girls one that said she looks like megan fox yeah and the other one who actually more so looks like

megan fox i was like home girl like you what are you doing you're setting yourself up for failure unless you are Megan Fox's identical twin don't lead with that because then when he sees you he's going to be disappointed because Megan Fox is so fucking hot yeah and like that's not real like I don't know anyone that actually looks like Megan Fox right I mean she's a smoke show yeah so if you're gonna if you're gonna say you look like that you better fucking look like that and if you don't like you're setting yourself up for failure i would never did you see the part where she says she looks like megan fox yes okay and were you like i was like i feel like the other girl he's talking to looks a little more like megan fox if i'm honest were you like what the fuck is happening here i don't know yeah so the other girl he's talking to if

you want some spoilers can we do some spoilers here give me some spoilers i'm only like three or four episodes in all right so spoiler alert so he chooses he's picking the girl that says she looks like megan fox and ditching the girl that actually kind of looks like megan fox no way and when i say this girl looks like megan, she really doesn't, but she is smoking hot. And she tells him, and she is like, you are going to choke when you see me in real life. Oh, really? For what you're missing out on because you're like picking this other girl or whatever. And I can't wait to see the episode where he sees the other girl. I just can't wait.

I just love this show. Love is Blind is one of my faves. All right. I know. We almost started it last night, but I watched something different. In anticipation that you were going to watch Love is Blind, which I know that's like your jam. I love it.

In the reality TV dating space, are you caught up on The Bachelor? I am, actually. Well, I guess. Yeah, so when this comes out, we're going to be an episode behind. But I watched the two episodes, the Monday and Tuesday specials, all about Maria. I guess my thought is, what are your thoughts on Maria? I mean, we've talked about it a little bit. Yeah.

In the beginning, she was rubbing me the wrong way. Okay. But now it's to the point where I'm like, okay, this is silly. Like, you guys are blowing this out of proportion. You know? Let's leave the girl alone. Like, I'm starting to feel bad for her, which is, you know, insane. But I just like I think the girls are a bit threatened by her.

She dresses really sexy. She's very outgoing, big personality. Joey clearly likes her. So at this point, I feel like it's just like these other girls, their insecurities coming out and they're just all kind of coming for her. I've never kind of pegged her as being like the final girl either. Like I don't think, I don't think she's the one he's the most into,

but I do think he likes her a lot. Yeah. That's my thoughts. The show is definitely wanting you to be team Maria, I think. Like they've only really shown her just kind of be normal and kind of continue and be picked on

by whatever the girl is that got kicked off. But then they it on on its head in the in kind of the end of the last episode where she goes and steals even though she's already got a rose right to me i was talking to sarah about that because sarah was like oh do i not like her and i was like i think this this is a little bit disingenuous of the show how it works is you you're like, Hey, I want to go talk to him to a producer. And they're like, okay, not right now. He's in interview. Not right now. He's in kind of like a serious conversation. You don't want to interrupt this or whatever. And usually what happens is your producer will be like, okay, we're running out of time. If you want to talk to him, you kind of got to go now. right? And you're like, oh, okay.

I guess, you know, I don't want to talk to him before. Like there's no time to talk to him. And what's frustrating about that is, so yeah, sure. She might've said in the beginning of the night, like I'm going to let everyone else talk to him because I've already got a rose, but I'm sure that there was a time

in which a producer was like, hey, listen, we are running out of time. If you want to talk to him, like you need to go steal. Like, you'll be the last person or whatever it is, you know. And everyone there knows that. That's what's frustrating to me is that, like, all those contestants on the show are doing the same thing. So the, like, I can't believe she did that.

She stole and whatever. And it's like, but you know the game you're playing because it's happening to you, too. I get that, like, you're upset that, like, she got to talk to him before I did or whatnot. But there's a little bit of like, that's on the producers. And you know that. Right. So here's the other thing. And I remember this is something that they would tell me, or they would tell people is like, you need to be fighting to go talk to the lead. Because if they don't get to see you, then they might not think that you're into it. And then you're like, oh, really?

Okay. But then like now going through it, like the lead knows because they've been through the experiences of being like on the show. They know that like they're not in control of like who gets, you know, go steal. And when someone goes rogue, producers usually stop that they're like really yeah i mean every once in a while you're just like fuck it let him go rogue that's kind of my thought on it there's a part of me that thinks that joey was tipped off as to who was in the wrong in that whole situation because he sets it up kind of like a fucking producer would you know it's like one fucking producer would, you know,

it's like one, he's like, do you see a future with us? Cause that's obviously the issue is that like, Joe is like, I don't even know what we're doing here. I haven't talked to this girl. That's what it seems like.

Right, right, right. That's the subcontext I'm getting. So he's like, do you really think there's a future? And she's like, yes.

And the reason why I'm doing all of this is because I do believe that or whatever, you know, it's like, whatever. He grabs the rose and he turned straight to her and he says her name. I know it's terrible, but it's so, it's so well produced. Like it is, but like, Ooh, I felt bad for her.

I know. And that's why, that's why like, I'm like, he was tipped off as to what to do here. I think, because I think someone was like, okay, so here's the idea. You got to pick Maria. She's being totally kind of bullied. And even though she's being called the bully or whatever. Right, right, right. What you should do is you should pick up the rose. You should look at the other girl, make her think that she's going to get the rose, and then, boom, flip it around.

You know, like classic misdirect on The Bachelor. So that's my thought on all of it. Damn. Do you think that the producers want Daisy to be the Bachelorette? I think America wants Daisy to be the Bachelorette. Okay. I don't know if I think I agree with that. From what I see on social media.

Yeah, everyone loves her. She hasn't really kind of been on much of the last two episodes. I know, which is interesting. It was very much the Maria show the last couple episodes. I think Daisy would be a great bachelorette, but I think Joey really likes Daisy. I think so too, but I think he likes brunettes. I agree with that too, but I do think Daisy's going to go far. I think she's definitely in a hometown. I'm obsessed with the girl with the gorgeous curly hair. Oh, Topanga. I call her Topanga. Obsessed with her. What's her real name?

Kelsey? No clue, but she looks like Topanga. I think it's Kelsey. I'm obsessed. She's my favorite. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's great. He's got to start cutting some people. He's going on one-on-ones. You got to start cutting people on one-on-ones, guy. I know. What are we doing here? The problem is that everyone's got their fucking sob story, you know?

And so you can't cut them after a sob story. True. God, I should have known that when I was on my one-on-one. I should have made up something, you know? You're terrible. You know, when I was in NOM, I saw some shit. I was in the shit. You were in NOM?

How old are you? Yeah, you're right, though. But he does. I think, okay, so my favorites so far, my top four. Yeah. but he does i think okay so my favorites so far my top four yeah daisy kelsey lexi either jen or the other girl that had a one-on-one this time that went on the dancing date what's her name no clue i don't know anyone's name oh god it's they're they're the other like wild card there i know everyone else i'm like go i think he's gonna choose maria you do i do i don't i think

maria is the girl that it's fun to flirt with and make out with and stuff, but it's not the girl you take home. I don't know. That's what I think. Yeah, we'll see. It's good. The season's pretty good. Listen, I like Joey. Like, I've met him.

He's a wonderful guy. So boring, though. So boring. But I think that that's a good thing to be when you're The Bachelor. Like, remember Higgins was fucking boring. True. But he's the best. He was the best bachelor. The best. Yeah. Speaking of love

and reality, have you seen Lover, Stalker, Killer? No. Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. Boy, oh, boy. Okay, so. You love Is it a documentary? Yeah.

Big documentary guy these days. And you know why? It's because all the production companies aren't making anything new. So I'm stuck to documentaries. Very true. A mechanic tries online dating for the first time and meets a woman who takes romantic obsession to a deadly extreme. Lover, stalker, killer on Netflix. Sounds like a Taylor Swift song. Yeah.

Yeah. Right? Yeah. Right? Yeah. So this fucking poor guy, he's this mechanic guy, super nice guy, gets a divorce, got kids. So his wife's like, I'm moving back to be close to my family. And he's like, well, I want to be close to the kids. So he moves to this other town to be close to the kids. And he's all alone. And he's, you know, turning wrenches and, you know, changing oil and stuff. And he's like, I'm going to go on plenty of fish.

And so he meets a couple, he meets a girl. That's a dating app? Plenty of fish, yeah. But like plenty of fish in the sea. Yeah, they're lying, but okay. It's so sad actually in the beginning. He's like, I started it up and I had 10,000 like possible matches and no one fucking messes me.

Like, oh, poor guy. See, zero fish. Yeah guy zero fish yeah yeah so he starts he meets a girl they go to a bar like they hit it off but he's like hey listen i just want like he says he was pretty honest about like i just got a divorce not really looking for something serious you know like this is casual and so he's just kind of dating this girl. I think her name is Liz. And then he like changes the oil of this other girl who he ends up becoming romantically involved. And like the first girl like shows up at his apartment and is like, I need to get something from the house.

And he's like, okay, this is awkward or whatnot. Then the second girl goes missing. The cops come and they're like, did you kill this girl? And he's like, no, I don't know where she is or whatnot. And so he starts kind of dating the first girl again. And then he starts getting like really threatening messages from the second girl. And the girl that he's kind of dating currently, which was the first girl, starts getting really threatening messages from the second girl again. The first girl, like her house down like the like the animals die and you're like oh my god this second the second

crazy anyways uh this goes on for a while they get tech forensic guys in there to start looking at ip addresses and what's going on anyways Anyways, highly recommend Crazy Twist, Lover, Stalker, Killer, only on Netflix. It's pretty great. Very interesting. You gonna watch it? Probably not. Did you ever watch The Curious Case of Natalia Grace?

I mean... At this point, I'm just not watching it because I know you want me to so bad. I don't understand bad i don't understand i don't understand did you watch american nightmare no okay okay well you need to ah fine don't watch it have a have a have an unhappy life all right you know what i'm doing just great. I, like, it's crazy what a 180 I've done on this Masters of the Air show.

I went from, like, not liking it at all to I'm absolutely fully obsessed to the point where I watch every episode twice. Yeah. Are you caught up? No. Sorry, I'm watching new stuff, so I have material for the Y of Tears. Okay, well, can I? This is new. An episode comes out every week.

I know, but... Okay, well, without ruining anything for you, I just have to tell you that two episodes ago, they leave us on this fucking cliffhanger. And, you know, we have to wait a whole week for episodes or whatever. So for two weeks, I've been waiting. A lot of these fucking planes haven't come back. And you didn't see what happened.

Like, they just skipped. Like, they go off on a mission and fast forward and just tell you none of them come back. They don't show you what happened. They don't tell you anything. And it's like most of them, most of the guys that they've had you fall in love with in the first few episodes are on these fucking planes just gone. Only one plane comes back. And so, like, you're like, well, they can't be dead because like if they were dead they would have shown it because they have no problem showing all the deaths because it's brutal and it's a couple of the leads so you're like you

know they can't die this soon yeah and i just i'm like i'm like how i gotta know i gotta know i need to know right now who's dead who's not who's coming back who's not it's keeping me up at night what a great show also i'm, I'm just so obsessed with Colin Turner. Did you see him and Dua together at the BAFTAs? Oh my God, they are so gorge. I love it so much. No. You should watch Memphis Belle. What's that? This whole show is a huge ripoff of Memphis Belle. Cast is crazy. I also need to watch Band of Brothers. I never saw that. That's a long watch. Memphis Belle is just a movie movie. In 1943, a crew of a B-17 based in the UK prepares for its 25th and final bombing mission over Germany

before returning home to the USA. The cast is crazy good. Eric Stoltz is in it. Sean Astin, Stoltz is in it. Sean Astin, Billy Zane. Harry Connick Jr. is the tail gunner. He's so good. John Lithgow, highly recommend Memphis Belle. Okay, that sounds good. If you like this, it's so good.

Sean Astin's great in it. He's the ball turret guy. And Harry Connick Jr. is just such a hard time. I love a good world world war ii tale yeah for sure i'm a sucker have you even heard of j-lo's new movie called this is me now i think i've heard of it but i definitely haven't seen it it might be the worst thing ever made in the history of cinema coinciding with the release of her album the same name this narrative driven odyssey tells the story of cinema. Coinciding with the release of her album, The Same Name, this narrative-driven odyssey tells a story of Jennifer Lopez's journey to love through her own eyes.

This Is Me Now, a love story. I don't even, I'm not even gonna tell you where it is because it's so bad that you should not go watch it, but it's like one long weird music video that like makes no sense. And it's so stupid. And for some reason, Fat Joe's in it. And so is Jane Fonda and of course, Ben Affleck and J-Lo. It is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

I only watched about seven minutes of it before I was like, that's enough of that. Let's not, let's not do that. Okay. Yeah. So don't do that. Very interesting.

I haven't seen it, but there's a part of me that wants to go watch Madam Web because everyone hates it so much. Yeah. I feel bad for Dakota Johnson though. Me too. I'll say that. Not that she hasn't had pretty, a pretty charmed life growing up. Yeah. She's bad for Dakota Johnson, though. Me too. We'll say that. Not that she hasn't had a pretty charmed life growing up.

Yeah, she's doing all right. She's doing just fine. Is a South Park movie out right now? There is. It's called South Park Not Suitable for Children. After it's discovered that a teacher at South Park Elementary has an OnlyFans page, Randy is compelled to take a closer look

at the seedy underbelly of the world of online influencers. It is so well done in terms of shining a light on how bullshit influencers really are. And hey, listen, I guess we can be considered those. All these kids drink this drink called cred is it logan paul's drink prime or whatever and i think it's so cool but it's really

just a shitty sports drink and then randy realizes that you can make a lot of money doing only fans so he starts doing only fans and like it kind of like crescendos into him being auctioned off to the highest bidder. And like the people who are bidding on him are like Mattel, Hasbro, China, Russia, all these tech companies pretend that the people that are really on it are over 20 years old, but really it's all kids. And you're just influencing kids and like how fucking seedy and terrible the underbelly of social media really, really is. It's just really, really wonderful. And I think everyone needs to watch it, but don't watch it with kids around because you see Randy Marsh's dick a lot in the film. It's funny though. Uh, where do you watch this? Paramount plus. I watched

it on prime, but it's so funny. Anyways, highly recommend. Very good. You want to say cute, don't you? Yeah. Yeah, you can. Cute. I got something I want to say. Oh boy. Yeah. And this is something that they don't tell you before you get married. Oh, do they tell you anything before you get married? No, they don't. No. Well, I mean, I guess they do as if, if I'm they, I'm about to do it. Okay. But this is something that I kind of wish like my father had told me, like before I walked down the aisle, he pulled me aside and was like, Hey, well, it's just a couple of things you need to know about being married. And one of the most important things you need to know about being married is the dinner trade. And a lot of people don't know about the dinner trade, but I'm about to shed some light on the dinner trade and basically what

marriage is. One, it's really competing for who slept worse the night before. Every morning you wake up and you say, how did you sleep? And it's just a fight to see who slept worse, really. And there's no real way of knowing who slept worse, really. Okay. And there's no real way of knowing. Even though we have the aura rings. I was going to say, there's some data, huh? Yeah, there's some data. So there's that.

And then there's the dinner trade, which is you and your wife go to dinner. You talk about what you're going to order. And usually they're similar and what ends up happening is you order something different and whatever your wife ordered she's going to hate and whatever you ordered they're going to love and then you have to swap so you guys order from different places no when you go to the restaurant and you're looking at the menu go out to eat i see i see and it's like oh i want to i'm gonna get the steak okay i'm gonna get the you know the bouillonnets and then your wife gets it and she hates it and then she's having a bad time because what she ordered was shit even though

you were like i don't know about that one and then what you have to do to save the night, because the men are the knights in shining armor have to be like, let's just trade. And then you play this little dance. I'm like, no, it's okay. It's fine. And it's like, no, just what are we doing here? I don't care. I'll have the bouillonnettes. Okay. Because I know you want the steak now. That's all marriage is, is just giving your better food in exchange for worse food. So. That is groundbreaking. Yeah. I have a question.

Okay. You know the state that Las Vegas is in? Nevada. Is that how you say it? Nevada? Uh-huh. I think I say Nevada. Nevada nevada but like what's which one's right do we know nevada nevada hello sir are you going to nevada nevada nevada sounds

northern or something to me nevada is it nevada or nevada i want a local because you know the locals say things differently than other people would say things. My best friend, she said Louisville to me the other day, talking about Louisville, and I was like, you mean Louisville? And I'm from Kentucky so that's why I know how to pronounce Louisville. You want us

to pronounce Louisville like you've got marbles in your mouth. Like you're an indie singer right now singing an indie song. The bat. What's the bat called? The bat? The slugger bat.

How do you pronounce that? What do you mean? You know the bat that they make in Louisville? Oh, yeah. How do you pronounce that? The name of it? Yeah. I'm confused.

Say the name of the bat. Is it slugger? I don't know. Louisville the name of the bat. Is it Slugger? I don't know. Louisville Slugger. Oh, Louisville Slugger. People don't say Louisville Slugger. No one says, no one calls it, it's just a baseball bat. No one calls it anything.

But they call it a Louisville Slugger, not a Louisville Slugger. No, who does that? Yes, they do. I've never heard that in my life. 100%. It's a bat. It's a baseball bat. Nevada. Nevada. I've never heard that in my life. 100%. It's a bat. It's a baseball bat. Nevada.

Nevada. I don't know. I think if you're rich, it's Nevada. And I think if you're poor, it's Nevada. That's what I think. I guess so. Yeah. You want to do some calls?

Sure. Hi, Bells and Brandy. This is Jenny from Madison, Wisconsin. Hey, Jenny. And I can't believe I'm doing this it's my first time voicemail and I've been listening to YFT every day since it started and only thing I look forward to in a Wednesday to be honest but I can't believe I'm finding this out before well but i don't know maybe he knows um a24 is creating um a documentary on the talking heads yes and there's a tribute album um coming out with a bunch of different

artists including miley is on the album miley cyrus really but paramore just released their version of um burning down the, which is so good. Ding, ding, ding. One of my favorite things. And definitely check that out. Love y'all. Bye. See ya.

I knew about the album. I didn't know that Miley was on it, though. Yeah. But it makes sense, though. I remember it was New Year's last year that she sang with David Byrne. And it was really bad. Not Miley's part, but David Byrne was bad and we were like, what is going on?

I feel like no one knew who he was except for a bunch of old people like me. And I was like, how dare you do this to an icon like David Byrne? In person it wasn't as bad. Really? Yeah. Well, that's good to know. I was like, just sing Burning Down the House, dude. What are we doing here? Don't sing new shit.

Yes, I did know about that. There also was a really cool Broadway musical using all of the talking head stuff. That's cool. Hey, welcome, Randy. It's Destiny from California. Hey, Destiny. Well, a few years back, we went on the Napa wine train together with you and a few other bachelor folks. Derek was there.

What I was thinking is, why don't we do that again with the YFPers? The YFP Napa Wine Train or something like that. A little YFP get together. A live podcast. Take it on the road. Do you guys have any plans to get back out there now that COVID's over?

Alright. Love you. Bye. That's a good idea. I feel like you get us drunk in a public setting. That's just how you get canceled. True. Hi, Wells and Brandi. This is Julianne calling from Canada. I have two things that I wanted to recommend.

I think that you would both like these. Maybe you, Wells, more than brandy yeah but the first one came to my mind after you had went on a spiel about people eating people based on that movie with the plane crash so anyways i thought since you're into cannibalism and all that stuff that you might enjoy into a movie called fresh. I don't know if you guys have talked about this before, but it's basically a movie where this girl goes on this blind date with some

guy. And then she ends up being basically captured and stranded with this guy and discovers that he's actually a meat eater and he runs this meat market for humans so um yeah also do you guys think that actually exists i'm curious what is his name you should watch it after quitting dating apps a woman meets the supposedly perfect man and accepts his imitation to a romantic weekend getaway only to find that her new paramour has been hiding some unusual appetites fresh on Hulu,

starring Daisy Edgar Jones and Sebastian Stan. Wow. I love that your reputation is now that you're into cannibalism. Big cannibalism guy. You didn't know that about me? So much. Didn't know that about me? All right, so much. You didn't know that about me?

Alright, here. This is still going. Here we go. Also, I'm also obsessed with UFOs and aliens, and I definitely believe they're here. So you guys should check out this new documentary. It's a three-part series, and it's called UFO

Revolution. I highly recommend. It's updated. So all the most recent stories are included in this and it is so good. And honestly, after watching the documentary, I went straight upstairs, looked outside, looked at the sky for a while and not going to lie, was pondering my life and looking for UAPs. So yeah, you guys should definitely check it out. I'm curious to know what your thoughts are on it.

Bye. We almost watched that last night, actually. Oh, really? Yeah. I mean, pilots are out here posting photos and videos of UFOs left and right. Oh, I know. If you don't believe at this point, then you're just dumb because they're real. Yeah, it's every single day.

There's a new one out there. There was one in Boston recently where it's like an American Airlines guy. He's like, you're never going to believe this, but I've been seeing this thing fly around. You know, just show yourselves. I know. Extraterrestrials.

Yeah, come hang. Come hang, come be in the pod. Come be in the pod. Yeah. Come hang. Come hang. Come be in the pod. Come be in the pod. Yeah. Come be in the pod. Maybe the aliens are also like. Everything I touch turns to shit.

So they don't want to, they don't want to turn us into shit. Mm-hmm. Okay. I think there's a real life thing where we are a reality TV show for them. And they're just like, Jesus Christ, look at these people. Definitely. I saw this post on Instagram and I wonder if it's the most true thing about Americans. It's America is wrong about everything except Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit is the correct way to measure temperature.

Fahrenheit, it's like, man, it's so hot out. It's got to be like a hundred hots. I totally agree with that. Let's just say what it is. Fahrenheit is a percentage feeling. If it's a hundred degrees outside, that's a hundred percent hot. If it's 70 degrees out, it's 70% hot. It's like, yeah, this is okay. If it's 50 and below, it's no, this is failing in the temperature region. If it's 110, it's way too hot. It's off the scale and I hate you. You're right.

Yeah. Celsius? No. Stupid. My thing with Celsius is like the difference between one degree is so drastic. I don't like that. I don't like that. I could have gotten on board with like kilometers because that does kind of make sense to me.

No, Fahrenheit is really where it's at. Let's not. And by the way, I played this for the YFT tiers earlier, but I do have a new soundboard suggestion. A lot of YFTers sent me this one, okay? Okay. This is coming from Mandy Brooke Official. I'm so fucking tired of your fucking bullshit. Shut up. Brooke official. What do you think?

I like it. Pretty good, huh? Yeah, it is good. Do you love the Lion King? All right, Muzak's close out? Yeah. What do you got for me, kid? He needs no help with promotion at all he's doing great yeah but john summit his new song shiver is such a banger whoever is top lining john summit's songs is

iconic okay the top lines in john summit's tracks are so good i don't know if it's the girl that's singing on the tracks. I don't think it's John Summit. Could be wrong. Don't know if there's a co-writer in the room that's top lining it. But whoever's doing it is fucking killing it. What is a top line? A top line in songwriting is like the melody. The melody of basically like the track.

Not like the tag, like usually it's the chorus it's like whatever like the top line is is this no oh my god you live under a rock he is selling out madison square garden bmo arena like he's a dj's a DJ, and his whole shtick is that two years ago, he was doing YouTube tutorials, and now he's selling out Madison Square Garden multiple nights in a row. American dream, baby. Literally. It's killing it. I don't know if I've ever...

This might offend you because this is your job. I don't know if I've ever been to a DJ. You're really missing out. I don't know. Listen, the been to a DJ. You're really missing out. I don't know. Listen, the spectrum of DJs is so wide. I feel like people that don't listen to electronic music, because this was me. Before I really started listening to electronic music,

I just assumed that DJing was like the EDM tracks you hear on the radio, like Calvin Harris, right, and Tiesto and stuff like that. It's such a wide array of like what it is like there's everything from like what you think of almost as like a wedding dj right or someone's just mixing together party music and then like on the other side of the spectrum it's like raves underground edm is having a massive massive resurgence i feel like especially here where it hasn't been very popular it's starting to become so popular and everyone's trying to jump on board and do it which i think is great for the genre

but if you've not been to like a really awesome live show up from like i would recommend like rufus de sol odeza a lot of these guys play red rocks and the gorge and like really cool venues like that's what you need to go do okay and. And just experience it once. Because it's pretty fucking cool. I saw the great- The lights and the production and the music. And it's just all of it, you know? I saw Dead and Company are doing the sphere. I want to do that.

I want to go to that too. Yeah, we got to figure out a way to do that. I got some things. Let me see if you can- Do you know who Mark Sebelia is? I've heard the name probably from you. Nashville guy. I used to have him on my show way back in the day.

He is huge on TikTok now because he plays every fucking instrument and loops it all. And this is a song he's been writing, I guess, for his daughter about death and what he thinks happens after death. And I really like this one. So check it out. This is Mark Sebelibilia more to this I finally feel my fragile soul and all I am falls into mystery I've been thinking about after and all the folks I want to see. My neighbor says that this is it.

My daughter says we live again. Most of the time I'm somewhere in between. Don't the question beg an answer. Don't a song beg an answer. Don't you dare Tell me that there Ain't more to this More to this I've been seeing this life different

Mark Sibilia, More to This. Do you listen to Dylan Gossett at all? No. No. Do you want me you listen to Dylan Gossett at all? No. No. Do you want me to play some Dylan Gossett? Yeah, he's got a new song called Bitter Winds. Please slow down. Another year is burning out.

It's good stuff. I got one more we can go out on it. Perfect.

Mike Rathke. It's a song called Apple Tree that I like a lot. What are you up to these days? Do you have heat? I do. I finally, it took over two weeks. Don't even get me fucking started on all of it. Basically a lot of people fucked up. I spent a lot of money

I didn't need to spend and we are fighting it, but it is finally turned back on. That's good. I'm chilling for a little bit. I don't really have anything going on for the next week and a half. Trying to enjoy it because come like March 6th when I leave, your girl is just like gone.
