Do it. Hi. Why do you look like you're about to do a swat hit right now with like your black hat black hoodie like are you part of the swat team no i'm part of the like no sleep team i'm so tired team oh my god this old story again yeah it's not ending anytime soon. I leave for a couple weeks and nothing, and I mean nothing, changes over here. No, absolutely nothing. Why are you tired? Why am I tired?

Because I work non-freaking-stop, and if I'm not working, I'm flying. And if I'm not flying, I'm here doing laundry, cleaning the house, taking care of the dogs, taking care of the horses. Like, I don't know what else to say. All right. So you're busy. Busy. I was in Vegas last weekend.

Yeah, how was it? It was litty, as always. I've been playing these Sunday day shows, like pool parties. So it's such a long flight from Nashville. What I like to do is fly in the night before, play the next day. And then as soon as the show's over, I get on a plane and get home. Flew in Saturday night, landed in Vegas at like 11.45 PM. And I was like, you know, I'll just pop into the club just to say hi to everyone. Just pop in. Just pop in, you know,

just like at 1230 in the morning, like pop in, say what's up, shake a few hands in you know just like at 12 30 in the morning like pop in say what's up shake a few hands you know all that no stay till 3 45 drink an entire bottle of champagne by myself and here we are so i mean you're tired because you did it to yourself yeah yeah okay that's fair fair enough but like life is short you gotta drink the champagne know? Is that like on a t-shirt somewhere? It should be. I'm going to start selling merch that says that. Is that monogrammed on a pillow at your mom's house? It's not.

It's not. Speaking of your parents. Mmm. I know you're probably not going to want to respond to this, but I can say whatever I want because, you know, I go to traders, okay? I go to Scotland and I finish filming, come home, and what do I see? Is love dead? Yeah, it is. I've been saying this.

What do I see but Billy Ray Cyrus and his wife of 13 minutes, whose name is Fire Rose, couldn't have written a better name for that, have already split up? Say it ain't so, Brandi. Well, according to the press, it sure is. What happened? Was it the 30-year age gap? Your speculation. You're telling me that those two crazy kids didn't have a lot in common? Who's to say, really, you know?

I realize that you don't want to say anything, and I'm sorry. I don't want anyone to fall out of love or file restraining orders. I don't want that, okay? That's not what I want, Brandy. Sure. But let's be honest. It's 2024 and everyone splits up eventually. That's what I've learned in my 37 years of life is that it all ends eventually, whether it's 13 minutes or seven months or seven years or a lifetime.

It all ends. or seven years or a lifetime. It all ends. Let me call my wife real quick and let her know the little nugget of information that you've just dropped on me and the rest of the wife. I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

Yeah. I'm sorry to hear about it. But you know what? Your mom and Dom are still doing great. I saw an appreciation post from her recently. Yeah, today I think, yep. Yeah. So anyways.

I gotta be honest with you. I haven't really been talking to anybody. I've been so busy. I'm not really, I ain't got time for everyone's, you know, stuff. I got my own stuff. I've been locked in on my job and providing for myself and my farm.

I'm just doing me, you know? Are you giving me like a media-trained answer right now? Is that what's happening? No, it's the truth. It's the truth. Speaking of your job, you had to fill in. You had to do an episode without me because I was off in Scotland.

I sure did. Who filled in? Oh, I had Caitlin Bristow herself fill in. KB? The podcast queen stepping in. Wow. I know. She's like the girl version of me.

So that must have been, was it just the same show? Was she better than me? She had no favorite things, I'm pretty sure. So no. Yeah. Okay. I was like, so have you watched anything? She's like, not really.

I'm like, cool. This is how Wells feels when we podcast. Yeah. Yeah, yeah podcast yeah yeah yeah but we talked a lot about you and what you've been doing oh really what did you guys talk about yeah well that like the day that we recorded it was announced about your you know big new big new show and which i can't wait to hear all about i don't know how much you can tell us but yeah we were we were like coming up with different like you know how much you can tell us, but we were coming up with different scenarios for you and whether we thought you would be a traitor or not and how you would play it. We did some speculation. What did you decide upon? At first, we were like, they wouldn't make him a traitor because he's just too nice.

He's the nice guy. He's so goofy and funny. They wouldn't put him in that role. And then I was like, here's the thing, though. and funny like they wouldn't put him in that role and then i was like here's the thing though wells is all of those things but you also have this like secret side that not a lot of people see where you're kind of cutthroat when it comes to business you are like you're so fun and so goofy and then you will like cut a bitch real quick you know like behind the scenes so i was like you know he could fool everybody into thinking exactly what you said,

but he could in fact be a traitor and fool everyone. Don't blow my cover. People don't know that. That was my theory. Yeah, yeah, yeah. People don't know that I can be a dick. Oh, I know all too well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, there's nothing really I can say about the show. Obviously, i've signed more ndas that i know what to do with it's it's so funny because i mean i guess i can say it now like we're not filming paradise this year hence why i went to scotland to go to the show during the time that which i would go to film paradise right so yeah totally that's been a very weird thing because like i was waiting for abc and

disney to be like so we're not gonna do it this year like announce it i knew obviously a long time ago that they were putting it on quote unquote pause because they're gonna go film the golden bachelorette they're just like not enough months in the year to be able to do all the shows but they never made an announcement but like me obviously going and doing a different show i would assume reveals that we're not doing paradise this year or at least maybe not when we would normally do it but it's funny because when i go to paradise i have i get my phone you know i'm kind of like maybe making content while i'm there i'm like helping promote like the show and stuff whereas there there it's like, no, you don't talk about anything. The first rule of fight club is fucking don't talk about it.

But anyways, it was, uh, it was cool. Scotland's beautiful, man. I actually, Scotland is a, is an amazing place in the world. And we were way up North. We were up, uh, the castles outside of this town called Inverness. And it's so far up north that like it never gets dark there it gets dark like 11 45 at night yeah and then gets the sun comes up like 4 30 in the morning you're like ah stop sun but then i guess like you know in the winter time

it's like dark all the time did you have some like dope blackout curtains or no yeah for sure and honestly like that show is so like kind of grueling that like once i got back to my room i'll be like i'm out and i didn't need blackout curtains i have some things that i want to talk about the year the the uk is yeah the uk right yeah scott scotland's part is the uk right right? Yeah. Scotland is part of the UK, right? Right there. I don't think so. It's a little blurry. Number one, way too confusing, okay?

Why do we have to have three countries in one country or four countries in one country? Like it's way too much because you have England. You have Scotland. You have Wales. You have Northern Ireland. That's all the UK. Okay. Let's everyone be their own thing.

Okay. I don't need, it's too confusing. Hate that. Yeah. Number two, you know, you know, British people make a lot of fun of Americans for being fat pieces of shit. Okay. And I got to say, you're not super trim over there, guys.

Really? I feel like they are. I mean, I was seeing some people who could stand to lose a couple LBs, I'm saying, or stone, I suppose, with their imperial measurement system or metric measurement system. Yeah, you guys would watch out, all right, saying that we're all fat. I mean, we are all fat, but you aren't all supermodels over there, guys. Okay? Also, let's talk about full English breakfast, okay? On paper, sounds phenomenal. In reality, trash, okay?

Really? Beans on toast. Ew. Have you ever done beans on toast? No, I'm not a big beans girl. Absolute garbage, okay? Mm-hmm. And they all love it.

It's like, first of all, why are we having beans in the morning? What are we having? What are we having? Are we having a barbecue? Are we getting some barbecue here? Maybe they're trying to get their situation moving first thing in the morning.

Because they don't drink coffee. They all drink tea. Yeah, freaky. I'm drinking coffee right now. And then the other thing that's on the full – they call it the full English. That's the big breakfast there, the full English breakfast. So you have beans for beans on toast. First of all, gross.

Then, hey, why are there a bunch of mushrooms on the table? What are we doing with these mushrooms? Am I supposed to put this on something? Why do we have mushies on here? Are they psychedelic ones? They are not. I don't understand, but that's gross as well. I love mushrooms and the next guy, but like why is that on my breakfast thing?

Also, you have like one like half-cooked tomato that's like shriveled up and dying and like melting and gross. Why is this tomato here? All right. Can we combine some of these ingredients into some sort of salad or something? I just don't understand. It seems so haphazard. It seems like this is the shit that we just had in the refrigerator that we're throwing on your fucking plate, guy. And then also your bacon sucks, British people.

I don't know what you guys. This is not bacon british people i don't know what you guys this is not bacon okay i don't know what you think this is this is trash okay this is like ham with like a little bit of the bacon like the best part of the bacon which is the fat all right but mainly it's just like this flat piece of gross rubbery crap bacon and also why is the bacon so wide all right i don't understand bacon should be long and skinny all right i don't need this big fat piece of bacon no thank you speaking of bacon bacon biscuits are the laziest thing in the world okay this is a huge thing in in england and in scotland okay bacon biscuit do you know what a bacon biscuit is? No, I don't really eat pork. So

it's an English muffin with bacon in it. That's it. Nothing else. Sounds like it. Yeah. Nothing else. I mean, that might be okay. Is it not? Can I get some cheese and get some egg in here? What are we doing? Why? Butter? Maybe? I don't know. Some sort of sauce oh yeah they have this brown sauce i don't even know what it is it's like ketchup that's gone bad you have a lot of feelings all right and then the last thing i think this is more of an australian thing but like ice was getting it a lot on my in my in my breakfasts marmite marmite. Marmite. Have you had Marmite? No. First of all, Marmite already sounds like the grossest thing in the world. It sounds like the ejaculate of a termite, if you ask me. That's what Marmite sounds like, okay?

Okay. Marmite might be the saltiest thing in the entire world, all right? Is it like Vegemite? I don't know. Vegemite. It sounds. Maybe. Maybe that's why I think it's Australian.

Yeah. But you could mush up all the anchovies in the world and then dump them in soy sauce and then season it with Himalayan sea salt and it wouldn't be half as salty as Marmite. What are we doing, guys? Why do you need this so much? No, hard pass. Anyways. No. Your full english is hot garbage this is

why i suggest every uk person anyone from england or wales or northern ireland or scotland what you do you go directly to america and you walk into any waffle house and say, teach me how to fucking make some good breakfast shit. You'd send them to Waffle House? Yeah. Or Huddle House. I was thinking Cracker Barrel has great breakfast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, Crab Waffle. That's fine too.

I forget about Cracker Barrel. Honestly, I'm due for a Cracker Barrel trip. That was like your sister's favorite place to go, I remember. Yeah, my little sister Noe, she loves it. Yeah, the chicken dumplings. So freaking bomb. So bomb.

I haven't been in years. Honestly, I might go. Yeah. Anyways, Traders is fun. Very cool. Fun show. I can't say anything. I think it airs like next year.

So it's going to be a while. Really? Yeah. What the fuck anything I think it airs like Next year So It's gonna be a while Oh really Yeah What the fuck I think so I'm not really sure Well that's way too long

Are you in New York? I'm still in New York, but I go to L.A. tomorrow. On Bark Air? No. American Airlines. I'm still in New York, but I go to L.A. tomorrow. On Bark Air? No. American Airlines. Because Sarah's doing this run, you know, for a while in the summer of Little Shop of Horrors. The real question is, how is Boo settling in?

She's doing okay. She's doing okay. She shits on the street. How's the bathroom? I was going to say, how's the bathroom situation? She doesn't like it. All right? This is not for her. No.

And she's like, she's constantly like looking at us being like, why did you do this to me? Why? Oh, no. For what reason? But I will say this. I've met so many YFTers going to Little Trump Horror Shows. Oh, I love that. It's funny because I don't really go.

I've seen the show now, so I don't need to go see it again and again and again and again. But I will go, I walk her to the theater every day. This is only like 10 blocks. And yeah, I'm a freaking hopeless romantic. And you said that marriages are all going to fail.

Not mine, baby. Those aren't my words, but yeah. Said something like that. So they all end eventually. is true till death do us one way or another they all end that's what i'm saying yeah you know i was thinking about in terms of death you were thinking about death yeah well you know how like do you think about death a lot i think about the universe and i think about like my place in it and i think about like what i really think all everything's going on you know how like do you think about death a lot i think about the universe and i think about like my place in it and i think about like what i really think all everything's going on you know and this is what i was thinking and this is bear with me and i'm totally not stoned right

now at all but uh this is what i was thinking you know how every story you hear of near-death experiences is that you go towards a light and you get sucked into a light, right? And like, I think a lot of people think that that's what heaven is or something. Maybe that's what it is. I'm not really sure. But I was thinking about that in terms of black holes. So, you know, at the center of our galaxy is a black hole, right? We're all kind of revolving around this. And there's a lot of kind of thoughts in physics that a black hole could be when you go into it, on the other side is a white hole or a light hole, right? So it's the exact opposite. And everything's kind of getting sucked into this black hole into possibly into this other dimension, would be the adverse of dark which is light and i was thinking you know since we we're we have these bodies these physical bodies they're you know being strapped down by gravity and all this stuff but when we die all that's left is our spirit or our aura or whatever you want to whatever you want to consider

it and then we're no longer shackled by like this like actual physical thing that's being held on by gravity and everything in our planet and then maybe once we do that then we can be sucked into that black hole and that's what the light is you're going towards the white hole to the other side which is maybe what heaven is i don't know what do you think about that i can't believe you think about this stuff that's what i think yeah huh i don't know i don't okay i don't know. What do you think about that? I can't believe you think about this stuff. That's what I think. Yeah. Huh? I don't know. I don't.

Okay. I don't really think about death really. Ever? And not really. And, but a lot of people do. Like I have friends that literally say they think about death like every day, like think about dying every day. And I'm like, what?

Yeah. I think about dying. I don't want to die in a painful way. Right. I don't think about dying. I don't want to die in a painful way. Well, nobody does. Yeah. But I think the reason I don't think about it is because I'm like, if I spend all my living days thinking about dying, I'm wasting the living.

That's a good way of looking at it. That's how I feel. I think it's pretty exciting that it's a thing that no one knows what happens afterwards, but everyone has to do it, you true it's so weird it's this thing that no one gets to escape from but no one knows what it is what a what a mystery but i just solved it with my black hole white hole thing so i wouldn't say solved but i think we did i think we figured it out sure so anyways i've been meeting a lot of yf tears at the show because i'll walk sarah to the show so i'll meet him i'll see him there

sometimes people like buying tickets before like they go to dinner or whatnot and then after the show you know she comes out and she meets everybody and so a lot of times i'll just become be sitting there waiting to uh to like grab her and we'll walk and go get some dinner drinks or whatnot and i run into all the yf tears andFTers, if you're in New York, you got to go see Little Shop of Horrors. It is so freaking good. It's so cute. I love. So fun.

So that's one of my favorite things. I know that's been one for a while, but it is what it is. Well, it's probably your only favorite thing considering you've been on a TV show set for the past few weeks. No, I have a bunch of stuff, actually. You had time to watch things? Well, I kind of crammed a bunch of stuff, actually, recently to be ready for this.

Okay. So do you have some fave things, bro? I have a feeling that we're going to have the same fave things. You do? I do. Okay. Well, my first fave thing. Yeah? Have you seen my sister's episode of My Next Guest, of David Letterman's My Next Guest show? No.

You haven't? No, I don't watch that show anyways. Why not? It's pretty good. I don't know. I feel like I let David Letterman go years ago and left The Tonight Show. So is this new?

Yeah, it's brand new. It just came out this last week. I'm shocked you don't watch it. There's some really good episodes, actually. One of my favorites was Ryan Reynolds' episode, actually. I feel like you'd enjoy that. Okay, I'll watch it. What is it on?

Netflix. Okay. Yeah, anyway. So did you learn things about your sister you didn't know from David Letterman? No, I pretty much knew everything, but I just like, you know, I think that I forget that Miley's kind of disappeared

on people, you know, because I see her all the freaking time, talk to her all the time. And I forget that people don't get to see her like they used to and like hear from her like they used to. How so? And so, well well she's just not playing shows and she's not touring and she's not on tv anymore so like people just don't really she's on social media so people just don't really hear from her you know or see her much

you know what i mean so it was nice it was nice for me to sit there thinking like oh people are gonna get to see the miley i i see every day you know because she's really changed a lot and grown up a lot in like a really cool way so i just just loved that like it was a moment for the people to get to see, you know, this grown up version of Miley. That's awesome. Yeah. I feel like I've seen clips of it where she talks about like her dad is narcissistic like she is or something. Is that what that is from? Yeah, that's the clickbait everyone's like i don't think about everyone's i don't think about my siblings at all here's my problem with them pulling that for clickbait is if you if you don't hear the context of the question that he's asking in their conversation that doesn't even really

make sense the way she says it and maybe like maybe because i know what she means i understood it more but she doesn't mean she doesn't know what we means, I understood it more. But she doesn't mean she doesn't know what we're doing. It was said in the context of growing up and doing Hannah Montana and being on set. And she meant it as like at that time that I was on set and doing Hannah, I wasn't aware of what my siblings were doing unless I was involved in it because I was on set. Does that make sense? aware of what my siblings were doing unless I was involved in it because I was on set. Does that make sense? And like, I actually think that's a really aware and enlightened thing to be able to say, I don't know what they were doing. Like I was on set 24 seven, you know? Um, but I feel like, I feel like some of the news outlets like grabbed that line and plastered it everywhere.

It's and like kind of made it seem like she doesn't know what we're doing now or doesn't care or something. And that's just not what she meant by that. So I don't know if it needed to be the air needed to be cleared on that. But that's that's what I understood her to be saying. And I just if anybody saw that and thought something like negative about it, I would just suggest you watch the episode and hear the context that she was talking about. It didn't offend me. I was fine with that. I perceive it this way.

The narcissism that you kind of innately have to have when you are making a TV show like that size and then touring and all that kind of stuff, you kind of have to live that way of like, I can only focus on me right now because so much is going on. That's how I perceived it. But she also thinks my name is Adam Wells.

Adam Wells. She does. You know, whatever. Cyrus Miley over there being a narcissist. Oh boy. I also think it's one of those things, aside from Miley, I'm friends with so many musicians specifically. And it's one of those things where like, if you don't think you're the fucking greatest thing in the world, you'll never have the success of being one of the fucking greatest in the world. Like you have to really believe that about yourself. And like you're saying, there is a certain level of narcissism that you kind of have to have to think you're great enough to achieve that level of success and like notoriety and fame, I think. Don't you agree?

Yeah. Don't you agree? Yeah, I always said one of my biggest superpowers for success was being really, really optimistically delusional. I was always like, I'm so good at this. Of course, I'll get this part. Of course, I'll get this show. And if they don't give it to me, that's on them. They fucked up because I killed that audition.

Even if I didn't, just being delusional about things. Yeah, but you have to think that to keep going. Otherwise, the no's and, you know, getting turned down and whatever and failures would just smother you. That's what I think. I agree. All right, I'll check that out on Netflix. Anyway, gotta. Speaking of Netflix, have you seen Glenn Powell's new film, Hitman?

I did watch that. Yeah? What did you think? I thought it was okay. Yeah? Okay. It was allman? I did watch that. Yeah? What'd you think? I thought it was okay. Yeah? Okay. It was all right. I really liked it. A professor moonlining as a hitman of sorts for a city police department descends into dangerous, dubious territory when he finds himself attracted to a woman who enlists his services.

Hitman on Netflix. Written by my boy glenn powell and richard linklater um you wrote it yeah i think i was with him in tahoe when he was right when they were writing it glenn powell jason momoa's new girlfriend oh she's dating jason momoa yeah yeah yeah that tracks okay and uh oh reda she was from i think she's from parks and rec i guess Jason Momoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That tracks. Okay. And, uh, oh, Retta. She was from, I think she was from Parks and Rec, I guess. I really like the film. He plays a, they're doing sting operations for the police department. People who want to put hits out on people.

And then he goes there, pretends to be a hitman, but then isn't. And the cops come in and arrest him for, you know, paying someone to kill someone else. Right? So he gets to, like, put on all these different, different like costumes of the different types of hitman he was which i really liked that part of the film like that was fun to me i thought it was super cute i thought glenn was great in it you know like he's a phenomenal actor i think for me and like tell me if i'm wrong but in real life and i know this is a movie but like in real life a fucking teacher normal pedestrian person would never be allowed to be involved in operations like this right it's a true story it's a true story but how like at the end did you watch the

end they show the real guy and they show i don't think i saw that yeah they show him in like different disguises that he uses and then also teaching. Oh, shit. No, I didn't see that. Yeah. Like, how? That can't be. Like, I mean, how? I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. I really, really did enjoy the film.

The ending made me be like, huh, okay. Yeah. Wow. Really? I did not see that coming. But I did. I enjoyed it. And, like, like glenn is like a huge movie star now which is insane yeah i know i was just talking about this with some uh my buddy ryan

because glenn is living with cord who you also know yeah we were talking about that we were like tell we were explaining to somebody that yo yeah cord and glenn and their actors and whatever and ryan was like glenn's kind of like a massive movie star now and i was like yeah he kind of is for sure he was like broke after top gum because they were they had to wait so long to put it out yeah but that was like break right yeah yeah yeah and then once it came out then it was like what did he do? He did that movie with Sidney Sweeney that did amazing. He did Twister. He just did this, this Hitman thing, which did really well. Anyways, he's like the next Tom Cruise.

So Glenn, get me a job, bro. What's happening here? Or my wife a job, you know? Oh, yeah. They should do something together. That'd be cool. Yeah. I can't believe that you didn't lead with this one.

Like, this is blowing my mind. Bridgerton? No. No! Because I did binge that. House of Dragons, season two, episode one. I just watched it last night. Thoughts?

I thought it was great. I thought it was great. I think the first episode of season two was better than basically every episode of season one, except for the last episode of season one. Yep, I agree. I thought it was phenomenal. Right? Yeah. Yep.

Great episode. Just so sad. The whole thing is just so depressing, and I love it so much. Oh, yeah. I don't know anyone's name in this show. I know no one's name. Okay? So. Okay. no one's name. Okay? So.

Okay. The mom whose son got eaten. The mom whose son got eaten in whatever. In midair. Yep. You know? Mm-hmm. The queen, for all intents and purposes. The queen, whatever.

She's the fucking queen. The white-haired mom. The queen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's the fucking queen. The white-haired mom. The queen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay? Mm-hmm. Her son gets eaten, you know, in midair. Midair.

I was more sad about the dragon dying, but yeah. I've seen. They take that clip and they slow it down. And as the dragon's falling and the boy is falling too, and the wing comes off you see the dragon grab the boy and catch him and then fall with him so i think that boy's still alive no hey we'll see i don't think so why not i just don't i don't think. I don't. I mean, you could be right. My thought is that he's not important enough to still be alive because he's a bastard.

Right. Like he wasn't. He's not in the royal bloodline. And so like and he has no claim to anything really like blood wise. So I just don't see the reason to keep him alive. Like he ain't no John. I got a feeling. You know what I'm saying?

Well, I don't know. That's what I'm gonna say. Like, what are you talking about? Bastards in this franchise are notoriously the star, and number two, it looks like all the kids are about to be going... But Jon still had Targaryen blood. Listen, they're about to go on a spree of killing these

kids off, back and forth, back and forth. It looks like, at least on episode one. What if he just almost shows up? I'm ready for Aemon to go. What if he just shows up episode seven, and he's like, oh shit, he's alive. Okay, well then this is, we'll see. It could happen. House of Dragon, ding, ding, ding.

So good. So good. So happy it's back. Spoiler alert, if you haven't watched it, maybe fast forward like 60 seconds. These two dumb idiots that get sent into the castle to kill Eamon. How do you get confused when they say he has an eye patch he's hard to miss? How are you confused about which one you're supposed to kill? Neither one of those kids wore an eye patch.

Yeah, it didn't make any sense to me. Like, how dumb are you? But I do think they were just like, a child for a child. That's what they end up saying. I mean, sure, but he was very clear, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very clear, eyepatch. That bothered me.

You know what really grinds my gears? What's that? When I'm going to any website on my cell phone, every website asks me if I agree that they use the cookies on the... I don't fucking care. Do it. I care.

Do you say no? Yeah, I go and I say strictly necessary only. And does it still allow you to look at the thing? Yeah. Oh. It just doesn't memorize your browsing history. What it's doing is basically spying on you so they can send you targeted ads to your Instagram and Facebook and email and all that shit.

I don't care. Good. I care. I don't want any of that. I want you to know me a little bit better. Send me better ads. Anyways, every – but here's the thing. Every website, I got to do it.

Yes or no. I'm tired of it. I know. Can we do a blanket? Guys, go fucking right ahead. Data mine this shit out of me or don't but like every single time guys i know i'm running a busy life over here okay it is annoying i'll give you that so much since you haven't brought it up does this mean that

you have not watched perfect match i don't know what that is oh i'm devastated why caitlin hadn't watched it either and i need somebody to like talk shit about with it to okay about it is that the show with that hairy guy who's like always on dating shows yeah yes so perfect match is basically a reality show where they pull the stars from all the other reality shows. Yeah. Who Not to Handle, Love is Blind, Dated and Related, which I'd never heard of. They pull all these people and put them on one show.

It's like a game. There's only one winner and it's the couple that makes it to the end and is deemed the perfect match. Mm-hmm. I can't believe you don't watch this. I'm sorry. I remember months and months ago when you were like, yeah, Jess from Love is Blind was seen with Harry Jowsey, and I was freaked. I was like, Harry Jowsey?

And I was so confused. That's because they're on this show together, so now it all makes sense. But anyway, it's just a pretty piping season, and I just wish you'd seen it so we could talk shit, but I guess that's not going to happen. No. I'll go watch it. You should. I think you'd like it so i we could like talk shit but i guess like that's not gonna happen no i'll go watch it you should i think you'd like it yeah you know it's midsummer it's gonna be so hot everywhere by the way how do you feel about how it's a hot rodent boyfriend summer i don't like it have you heard about that yeah i i saw a peep about it on instagram or somewhere and i just yeah i don't know so i guess the whole thing is uh hot rodent boyfriend summer is all the girlies are into like

skinny boys with like real angular features maybe some like giardia or like not a healthy hue about them all uh jeremy allen white and and what's the other little Spritely man he's playing Bob Dylan right now he was not Timothee Chalamet he's a rodent apparently interesting I don't understand we've gotten away from like classically handsome

people and now people are just like you know what I want I want that rodent look which is good but you know what I think it is a little bit you know i want i want that rodent look which is good but you know what i think it is a little bit you know i think it is a little bit what i think one like maybe like the public schooling system just like the the food that they're supplying is like really like under nourishing these kids and they're just like not getting enough interesting you know nutrients the other thing is i'm not sure if these kids these days give a shit about playing sports. Like back in the day, if you were playing sports,

like football and stuff, you'd get kind of big, but these kids, no, not at all there. And you know, you know, it's really kind of disappointing for me about it. I've been rocking hot rodent summer my entire life. You know, have. Yeah. Thin, you know, a little greenish hue to me. No, you're not pasty, though. Yeah. Sharp nose. I wish my jaw was a little sharper. I got to do some mewing.

That's what the kids do. But anyways, I think what it is really is. Have you seen the chin strap on TikTok? You could get one of those. Oh, I bought it. I bought it. Stop. I bought that shit you did not

i did that is stupid i it does i'm sure it doesn't work but if it does then i'd love it the last thing you want is a double double change of the worst the only thing that's fixing that is to go get it sucked out oh i can do that do that? You can do that. There's a new thing called Air Sculpt. Ooh. They give you a little laughing gas, a little twilight sleep, and they suck that shit out. That's the only way to get rid of it.

Have you done it? No. It's tempting, though. Let's do it. Let's get a sponsorship. Let's go together. Podcast Nation. Let's get the fat sucked out of my under chin.

Honestly, I would do it if it was free. Yeah, me too. Why not? I'm saving up for my boob job, so I can't pay for it, but you know. That's right. Brandy getting the new boobies. Back to Hot Rodent Boy Summer. You know what I think it is, though?

Do you remember when Dad Bod was a thing? I'm kind of into that one. Interesting. I'm way more into that one than this rodent thing i here's what i think i think that poor women are stuck with whatever these pieces of garbage men are doing and have to conform to liking it or they'll never get laid and get married and so they're just like i guess we have to decide that men who are fat and hairy let's coin it something in like cute so we can fucking deal with this dad bod all right that

work let's do that one we're like hot rodent it's like your boyfriend looks like a like slender man no it's hot rodent summer and now it's cool but you know what i think it is i just think it's because guys are pieces of garbage i've been saying this for so long and you shit on me every time i've said it and now here you are jumping on the bandwagon this is i'm so glad you finally seen the light of day no you know what it is here's what it is the guys that are classically handsome and dress well um and are in really good shape are one of two things they're either get they're either gay it's true true gay guys always are in the best shape ever and they look freaking amazing or they're douchers you know like guys who are rich and buff and like dress well and stuff,

those guys are all F-boys. Yep. And so girls are like, well, even though that's what I probably want, like in terms of like sexual attraction, I don't want to be with that person because they're hot garbage. So I'm going to do these mental gymnastics to make this rodent shredder from Ninja Turtles be attractive for me. Yeah, totally. Oh, I watched another film.

I really liked it. Did you ever watch the movie A River Wild with Kevin Bacon and Meryl Streep back in the day? No, I did not. Okay. You would like it, actually. Oh. So I don't know if it's like a remake or it's just the same name, but I watched this on the plane.

It's called Riverwild. You're going to love this cast, by the way. Okay. It's Leighton Meester. Love. Adam Brody. Oh. wait, aren't they married? They are married. Huh. And Taron Killam, who was on, I think he was on SNL.

Oh, yeah, he was. I love him. Mm-hmm. He's funny. So the cast I, like, off the bat really like, okay? Okay. Follows a pair of siblings who love but distrust each other as they embark on a whitewater rafting trip with a small group. One of their friends from childhood turns out to be more dangerous than he appears. River Wild.

It's on Netflix right now. I watched it on the plane. Loved it. So good. Have you seen the old one with meryl yeah yeah are they similar is it the same story it's a similar thing so the the original one meryl streep is on she's like a really good whitewater rafting guide or whatever and she's on a trip like a whitewater rafting and camping trip with her with her husband and her son and um and she comes across kevin bacon's character and i think kevin bacon like kind of like convinces her like let him come with her because like maybe his boat sank or something i can't remember exactly what happens i think it's's Kevin Bacon and I think it's John C. Riley who's also in it.

And what they're running because they robbed a bank, I think. And so they're trying to get, you know, like into Mexico or something on this whitewater raft. So effectively she becomes the getaway driver, but she doesn't know she is. And then once she figures it out, then it becomes like really, really dangerous. And she's had to figure out a way to like basically kill uh kevin bacon and save her family this is very similar leighton meester and the guy from uh snl are siblings and their like childhood friend is adam brody and they're all going whitewater rafting and they're guiding these two girls and adam brody uh not a nice guy and it's so so fun to see him play a bad guy because you you just love him so much and then it's like all right let's see what you got here is like the piece of shit bad guy and he does a really good job so okay i'd like that yeah i'm into it yeah the other thing that

i was like i was you know scrolling through when i was on the plane coming back from scotland The other thing that I was scrolling through when I was on the plane coming back from Scotland was, you know how you can watch movies and you can watch TV shows? Mm-hmm. And Young Sheldon is a TV show that, do you know what that show is? Mm-mm. So Young Sheldon is a prequel to Big Bang Theory. I never saw that. You know what Big Bang Theory is though, right? I i know it but i've never seen an episode yeah i'm convinced that no one is watching young sheldon

like i no one is like have you i don't have you ever met anyone that's been like hey did you watch the newest season of young sheldon like nope i i've never i've never heard anyone talk about it i i feel like it's some sort of tax shelter like the same way that like captain d's and long john silvers are some sort of like money laundering system because no one is going to get in this i yes they're all everywhere and it's like who is buying fish is everywhere like i don't my dad used to take us to long john silvers all the fucking time when we were kids. Well. All the time.

Your dad's made some bad decisions. One, Long John Silver's, and two, getting married to a woman named Fire Rose. Jesus. Blood? That's all I'm telling you. Blood should have talked to me before all that. The one, there was one down the street from my house and it closed down so maybe they're maybe they're they've gone under well they've

laundered all the money they don't need to launder anymore anyways i'm just convinced that no one's watching that that show and it's like some sort of weird scam i don't know the other thing i noticed when i was flying back, they got group zero now. Have you heard that? Have you been there? What do you mean? You're thinking you're pretty good. You're like a group one or two, you know?

I got hit with a group zero. What airline are you flying? British Airways. Huh. They hit me with a group zero. Interesting. Never seen that. I was like, guys, I'm group one.

One's first. Zero, it can't be first. You know? Yeah. One's first. Literally. Anyways. I finished Pines.

The first book and we were Pines. Oh, and? Yeah. Okay. Huh. I mean, good Yeah. Okay. Huh. I mean, good twist. I guess I didn't kind of see where that was going. You know?

I feel like it was a very Stephen King. It was like his attempt at Stephen King. I could see that. I haven't read a lot of Stephen King, but I could see that. But, you know, I did start reading that I think that you have suggested to me, and I totally get why you love it. Is? Is All the Pretty Horses. Oh, it's so good. Cormac McCarthy.

Yeah. Great movie, too. Who's in it? It's really old. Ooh, directed by Billy Bob Thornton. Talk about pop-ups. Penelope Cruz, that's right. She's so good in it.

Oh, Henry Thomas. He was in Legends of the Fall. Jesse Plemons is actually in it too. Anyway, I started reading that. It's very Steinbeck to me, the way he's describing everything. Yeah, it just had shades of East of Eden to me. But obviously you're talking about horses a lot, and I get why you like it, because all horses are beautiful. True.

True. Have you read anything else by him cormac mccarthy yeah oh yeah well no country full of men i loved that oh yeah and then the road i believe is cormac mccarthy i really like that one what about you i think that's maybe the only one i've read yeah but i feel like I could read more of his. I'm really excited about, you know, Kevin Costner's got a Western coming out, a movie. Yeah, it's out and it's not doing very well. Oh, it is out? Yeah.

Oh, I can't wait to see it. I had a lot of friends that worked on it. Really? Mm-hmm. Well, he put up like all of his own money. I know. And it's not recouping i mean if you my thing is like does anyone go to the movie theater no i don't think they do so until it comes out on

streaming i just don't know how anyone's gonna see it i agree because nobody goes to the theater no oh can we just talk about how great like if you think amazon's great ebay is so much better have you gotten lost in ebay no but i have bought things on ebay if you want like cool old shit go to ebay well so i'm playing in a golf tournament where i have to like dress up like old school golf like with like knickers and high socks and like one of those page boy hats and i wanted to find these like really old really cool old golf shoes found them brand never been worn they're 50 years old ebay yeah i was gonna say vintage shopping is the only reason i get on ebay yeah exactly if you want cool old shit ebay is the place to go yeah i love it i don't know where i've been by the way i think that the new iphone update has been fucking me over it is fucking

me over dude for like three weeks i wasn't getting any notifications for my text messages is this happening i was getting them but it wasn't telling me who they were from oh sarah and i just weren't getting the notifications. So I was like, what is happening? So then I went, I looked up, like, how do I fix this? Go to settings, go to notifications, and it was turned off. And I was like, first of all, Apple, there's no way that I did this. Do you know how I know that there's no way that I did this?

Because I didn't know how to do this. I had to look up how to get to this place in the phone. So you turned it off. And I'm pretty sure this is what they're doing. They're like, well, I still got the 11. All right? I'm over here with the 11. And my battery.

How are you functioning? My battery lasts about as long as my grandma at a fucking marathon all right she is about 14 minutes of actual exercise before that thing's like i'm out okay why don't you do the apple upgrade program i don't know what that is well let me tell you because you get a new phone every year and it's the way to go how much is is it? So instead of just buying the phone, you basically lease a phone from Apple is what it is. I wonder if I have that already. You go to the Apple store

and I pay like, I don't know, 56 bucks a month or something to like lease a phone. That's a lot of money though. I mean, it's not though because you're basically making payments for the total price of the phone. So you're basically like,

it's like a car. Like you're kind of leasing it until you own it type thing how much is your how much is your cell phone bill every month the apple bill for the phone is like 56 and then my t-mobile bill is 75 for the service you're paying like 135 bucks yes but i'm not paying any more than you're paying if you buy the phone straight out it's the exact same they literally break it down and show you like this is how much the phone costs and you're gonna pay for it over 24 months with this like quote-unquote lease type thing and you're just making payments on it interest-free and the deal is every year you can upgrade and get a new phone and just pay like 100 extra dollars and get a brand new phone every single year.

Yeah, but I have the 11. What are we on, 16 right now? Yeah, but like if you go get it now, then every year you just get a new phone. AppleCare is included. I'm telling you it's the way to go. Nah. Also, T-Mobile is what you're going with? Jeez Louise.

Yeah, because it's the best internationally. Oh. And your girl travels a lot. Does she? Yeah, I'm going to Greece next week. Oh. How come you never invite me on your trips? This is a girl's trip.

Okay. Who are you going with? Marta and Val and our friend Megan. Okay. Girl's trip. That's fine. That's fine. I'm going to go flirt with some hotties in Mykonos. Don't mind me. Get it. Okay. Girls trip. That's fine. That's fine. Gonna go flirt with

some hotties in Mykonos. Don't mind me. Get it. Yeah. I plan to. Get some Greek deep dicking. Alright? That is the goal. Yeah. You know? Get all up in there, hummus. You know? Spread that tzatziki all

over your naked body. And get with a guy named, like, Yustaf Stamos. Papas Stenas. That's their names. Right, right. They're going to be so hairy. Hairy knuckles, hairy everything.

But you don't care. I'm kind of okay with it. Yeah. Well, you're into dad bods. I heard about that. Yeah, we've talked about this before. I know. The dad bod thing.

You like a burly. I like a slight dad bod. I like a Chris Pratt before he got ripped bod. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Listen, I'm cool if you're like a gym rat and you're ripped, but only if you're like a big guy. Like I don't like skinny and ripped.

I don't like skinny at all. Like I just need a bigger guy, you know? And if that means slight dad bod, I would rather have that than like a skinny ass guy with a six pack. I don't know. Do you want to hear the gross fact of the day before we end the show? Not really. No. Do you though? I don't. The Do you want to hear the gross fact of the day before we end the show? Not really. No. Do you, though?

I don't. The YFTers definitely do. So I'm going to tell the story. No. OK. Do you know that black widows really aren't like deadly? Like we think of black widows as being like really, really deadly. You know, brown recluses are worse.

Yes, they are. But black widows, you know, like everyone's like, oh, my God, if I get my wife back, I'm going to die. You know, not the case. Yes. It's very, very painful. Yes. You probably should go to the hospital if you get bit by one uh but there's a good chance you won't die do you know the reason why they were considered so deadly for so long tell me it was because of outhouses before we had bathrooms and outhouses right and for those of you who don't know what an outhouse is basically it's a port-a-john outside your house right and you'd go shit and piss outside it's like a hole in the ground right it's not even yeah you know it's a toilet that's

out there that's got a hole in the ground you just yeah you just shit into the hole whatever and the reason why black widows were so dangerous is because of outhouses now if you think about it outhouses are just a big hole in the ground so obviously what spiders would do is that they would build their spider webs underneath the hole like around the hole because there was a lot of poop and stuff so flies would be flying into their spider webs and they'd be able to eat all the flies that were like living off of and going into the poop area and the reason why they were so dangerous was because at night when men would go into their outhouse it wouldn't be very well lit they would sit down what hangs down no tallywhacker would hit the spider and the black widow would bite the testes and or the peepies.

And that's why they were so amazingly dangerous to men. Why do you know this? I don't know. But isn't that very, very interesting? I want to know what led you to discovering this story dude my tiktok algorithm is out there my guy we are living on a different world i'm coming in here with black holes and white holes and black widows and white widows maybe i don't know i'm just all over the place i think i just need to like you know have you seen um chris pine recently and like what he
