how was it oh god it was so nice to go outside the house for a second i bet i got dressed up
you got to actually like go into a studio yeah I went to a studio I had
to get COVID tested then I went to a studio and they mic'd me up and they put in an in-ear and
we talked about The Bachelor yeah it was really nice it was like this is what it used to be like
I know that's kind of how I felt this weekend at the Super Bowl although the game like they only
had a 25,000 people there. So what,
what is that? Like a quarter full or something? I don't know. It was eerily quiet, like the whole
stadium. But we were, I was just like, you know what though? Like, I'll take it. Like, this is,
it feels like we're back. So were you like in the stands? We were for a sec. So, okay. So Miley
performed. Okay. I guys, I don't know much about football and I don't know much, but I've never been to a Superbowl. So just like, bear with me. But apparently there's this
thing called like the tailgate party that happens before. It's like a big thing.
You're telling me you're not familiar with tailgating right now.
I've never been to a tailgate.
How have you never been to a tailgate?
I don't know. I didn't really, I went to college for like a year, but have you never been to a tailgate i don't know i didn't really i went to
college for like a year but i didn't go to any sporting events really and i don't know i just
never did that do people do that in high school i was always a cheerleader so i just was like
preparing for the game i don't know not in high school because you drink but like in college you
you drink you tailgate out in the parking lot and you get wasted. Then you go in the game and then in college or then afterwards, like you never been to a Titans game and went to the tailgate?
No, no.
Am I missing out?
Yeah.
Tailgate is awesome.
Well, OK, so that's what this technically was, I guess.
It was like the tailgate party before the Super Bowl that Miley got to perform at.
Yeah. And, um, she performed
for 7,500 healthcare workers that have, you know, been working on the front lines of all the
coronavirus stuff they've been, they've had their vaccine. Um, but it was almost like a give back to
the people that have just been working so hard, you know, during this whole past year, um, which
was really cool. And even though people had had the vaccine, like everyone still wore masks and there was still some distancing,
like everybody kind of different sections. So, you know, it wasn't normal by any means, but
like considering it's been a year and a half since I've been anywhere where there's a crowd of people,
like it felt like we were kind of getting back to normal, which was encouraging. And it was cool to
see everyone like be safe.
Like people wore their masks.
Like people weren't being stupid.
It was really great.
And Miley just, she was just so happy to be performing again.
She has rehearsed for weeks and weeks and weeks for this set.
It was 90 minutes.
She played that aired also on TikTok, which was cool.
And then I think they aired two songs on network television.
But it was like a big set for her and it's been a while.
So she's just really been working hard to prepare and had Billy Idol and Joan Jett come
out and do feature songs with her, which was really freaking cool.
And overall, like just super, super fun.
And so once we did that, that was like right before the game started.
And then she changed clothes and we took a second.
And then after the game kicked off, like we had seats and they told us you know it's a quarter full you'll have like four tickets where four seats
are together and then they'll have like four seats empty four seat and then people with four so there's
four seats in between everybody and they have these stupid cardboard cutouts and the empty seats
so that on tv it looks like the stadium's full it's insane but we did we went and sat out there for about a quarter and a
half until the halftime show and what's crazy is like typically if Miley's gonna go somewhere like
they take her in like a side door or a back door we you don't walk out in the public to get to where
you're going but at the stadium like there there is no side door I guess like you just if you're
gonna go like you literally have to walk in the same door everybody else does and go to your seat. So the group of us, there were 12 of
us total, Billy Idol was with us and his team. We're like walking through the stadium and we
think, God, it was only a quarter full. Cause if it had been a full stadium, there's no way we
would have ever made it to our seats, but we're walking. And it was like a long walk. We had to
walk around like half the stadium to get to where we're going. And you could just see people that they're like,
they look at her as she walks by
and you see it registers that it's her,
but I think they're so stunned
that she's just walking through the stadium
with Billy Idol that like no one knows what to do.
Like I think one guy literally dropped his hot dog
when he saw her.
It's just kind of like, wait,
Miley Cyrus is walking through the stadium right now,
like alone, like what?
It was so funny.
But then we did sit down and it was not, I mean, it was nice.
Like we had great seats right on the 50 yard line.
So like my one and only football game, like couldn't have asked for a better seat.
And it was quiet, right?
I mean, it's not full.
It's like the crowd was quiet.
But other than that, it felt like the real deal.
Miley got to experience normal life for
just a second. She really did. When we went to the Super Bowl a couple of years back, yeah,
there is no like VIP at the Super Bowl. If you've gotten to the Super Bowl, that's the hard ticket
to get. You're not sitting in some skybox. When we were there, you know, Sarah and I were just
in the stands. And then four rows above us was Ty Burrell, who's even more famous than Sarah.
Phil Dunphy's right up there.
You can't go hide.
So I think that's kind of cool.
Diplo was in town.
He DJed, I think, one night over the weekend and he walked by like right in front of us or whatnot.
And Diplo is one of those guys that I think I think he can probably walk around and not get like super recognized because when he's not on stage he actually just looks like a normal guy
yeah and so he walked up and like brought us drinks and stuff and I and I was like why is
nobody freaking out that it's Diplo because I was kind of freaking out but yeah it was just super
cool and like laid back and everybody just had a really good time and go bucks bucks one that was crazy
we gotta talk we gotta talk halftime show yeah did you like it or not okay so here's the thing
something like a halftime show is meant for television right like it's not meant for the
people in the stadium so for us like we couldn't really see him a lot of the performance he was
like up on the side like in the stands kind of the performance, he was like up on the side, like in the stands, kind of on the
far left side, like under the big mega, the big like Megatron screen.
And so he was really far away from us.
And then at the very end, during blinding lights, they come out onto the field.
That part was cool.
Once he got onto the field, what?
Megatron is a transformer.
Jumbotron is the-
Jumbotron, that's what I was thinking.
Jumbotron is the... Jumbotron, that's what I was thinking. Jumbotron,
that one. And the only reason I even know the term Jumbotron is because
of Friday Night Lights. Thank you very much. But anyway,
so once it came out on the field...
Huh? But
you didn't know the term!
I just said it wrong,
but I did know it.
Okay, keep going.
I'm sorry. Mega, jumbo same freaking thing okay
the performance in person was not very impressive and even the sound in the stadium is just like
tough it's just not meant for that you know what i mean but i think on television it probably looked
pretty freaking cool and i did love the end when all the dancers came out onto the field and we could see on the screen what it probably looked like for you guys on TV.
And it looked sick.
Yeah, I liked it.
I thought it was cool.
And I thought it was different.
I heard that he put seven million of his own money into it.
A lot of people don't know this.
You don't get paid to do the Super Bowl, which is crazy.
But you get it back like on record sales, I guess.
just crazy but you get it back like on record sales i guess it looked like he employed nothing but people of color to do the show with him which i think was a cool thing it was the one part where
he's kind of like running around kind of lost in like oh yeah that part i was like what's happening
yeah but the best thing to come out of the entire Super Bowl are all the memes of him during that part of the performance.
Yeah.
They started coming in and I was like, oh, this is good.
This is good.
All these memes.
I just can't believe that Tom Brady won again.
I can.
I know, but like I put $100 on the Chiefs.
That was a bad call, by the way.
I thought for sure the Chiefs are going to win.
Did you know Tom Brady has never had coffee?
What?
He has never had coffee.
He doesn't eat any sugar.
I mean, these are the things that you have to do to win seven Super Bowls.
I don't want it.
Yeah, me neither.
I love coffee.
He's never had a good coffee shit.
Dang.
No wonder he looks like that.
He's never just had an explosive coffee shit.
Of course he's got no fucking wrinkles.
He doesn't know stress.
He doesn't know stress of having a cup of coffee and not being close to a bathroom.
No wonder he looks so great.
Well, I think that's pretty cool that he got to go to the Super Bowl, especially that one, you know? Yeah. Yeah. It was cool. And it was nice. I hadn't
seen my sister in a couple of months, so I don't know. It was nice for her and my mom and I to be
down there and like doing it all together was super cool. Um, and for me, like I went down
there just thinking I was going to hang and support Miley. And I got down there and got asked to DJ a couple of nights on someone's yacht.
It was like a private party.
Oh, wow.
Super low key, only like 30 or 40 people.
Because, you know, I didn't want to do anything that was too like too much of a COVID risk.
Just because I have to be super careful being around my mom and stuff.
So it was nice like to actually like be working again. Like I hadn't really like touched
DJ decks in months since the summer to actually get to play. So I don't know, like the whole
weekend was just very encouraging to feel like we're going in the right direction. Life is going
to carry on and it was good. It was a good vibe. Nice. Yeah. I went and did Daily Pomp today, and I was talking to my good buddy, Justin Sylvester,
whom I love and I've done a bunch of red carpet stuff with.
He was like, let's hang out.
And I was like, listen, man, my fiance is a compromise.
He's like, dude, I get tested three days a week because of the show, and I've been vaccinated.
And I was like, how are you vaccinated?
You're younger than I am. You're in better shape than I am. Not that saying much. I was like, how are you vaccinated? You're younger than I am.
You're in better shape than I am.
Not that saying much.
I was like, what's going on?
And he goes, dude, I went and waited in line for three and a half hours.
And did you know that like before the clinics close, if they've gotten the extra, then you can get the vaccine.
Let me tell you what your boy is going to be doing later tonight.
I'm going to be getting myself a nice audio book.
I'm going to sit outside a clinic.
And your boy is either doing it tonight or tomorrow night.
Because guess what?
I'm getting the vaccine.
I'm tired of it.
I want to live my life.
Getting the vaccine early, bitches.
Oh, wow.
Okay, so someone told us this this weekend also because my mom really wants it.
And that's what they said.
They said, like, you know, they're giving the vaccine to everyone what's what is the age
like i forget it's i don't know 65 and older or something is like who can get it right now but
what happens is like these clinics that are doing them i guess at the end of the day once all the
65 plus people have gotten the vaccine if they have any extras they have to throw them away yeah
i know there's just like all the, yeah.
So I guess like, yeah, you can go try to get one and they're just going to toss.
And here's my thing.
I can see a lot of people coming at me being like, you're young.
You shouldn't be doing that.
But they're throwing them away.
Exactly.
To be honest with you, I think that the young patient, really out of work people,
should be doing this.
I got nothing going on.
And if you're going to throw it away, then I'm going to get a vaccine.
And then I can't get you sick.
I don't know.
But I'm fucking getting this.
I'm telling you to do it.
I'm doing it.
Because we've been waiting for Sarah's, like, number to get called.
And she's not getting called anytime soon.
And I'm hoping to be able to piggyback on that.
Because I'm like her caretaker.
You know, I go and get her groceries.
And, you know, I do all the dangerous stuff outside.
Sister Ann, I'm going to be sitting in a line.
I'm going to fucking Instagram the whole thing just waiting to get a shot.
You should take Tish with you.
He really wants to do it.
Oh, man.
Three and a half hours.
It's just Tish and I.
God.
Yep.
We need to start the show.
We haven't done that yet.
Yeah.
So.
Okay. I think it's you. You know, I was thinking about this on my run the other day. to start the show. We haven't done that yet. Yeah. So, um,
okay.
I think it's you.

So do you want to talk Batch?
I have to.
I loved the episode.
I mean, I loved LC.
No, MJ.
MJ just being like, well, if it isn't consequences for my very own actions coming back to bite me in the ass.
Why'd you call her LC? that's a different show sorry all the drama was so good this week i feel i know but here's my thing and maybe this is
because i'm a bachelor purist but like i'm over it now now that victoria's gone now that ann is
gone now that mj's gone don't care and you got rid of
my shining light on
on the hill with Katie over
it well we gotta talk about that
yeah I'm with you I
do think they're setting her up for bachelorette
potential well I saw
like a spoiler that people are saying
that's true and like
Daily Pop they're asking me today
they're like is that true um
and i was like the big spoiler guy he got all of my shit wrong so who really knows but yeah she
does look real good they haven't had a connection really this whole time but she got a one-on-one
i don't know like if they would have really made it a point to give her an actual one-on-one. I don't know like if they would have really made it a point to give her an actual one-on-one unless they were going to think about setting her up for
something else.
Good.
I don't know,
but I will say this.
And if you saw my Instagram stories,
there's a lot of parallels between Katie and I.
Okay.
That's true.
That's true.
Because I,
I don't know if you remember,
but I was the voice of reason.
I was like level headed,
but also brought the comedy.
And then I was kicked off on a one-on-one
and it was eighth place. And guess what? One-on-one eighth place. Now she's the bachelorette or maybe,
I don't know. We'll see. We'll see. I do think it's a great theory. And I like Katie. I think
she'd make a great bachelorette. She'll be a lot like Hannah Brown. She seems like she's very
like opinionated, not taking any shit from anybody very smart so she almost reminds me i was thinking more of like a
caitlin bristow type i don't know if she's as funny as caitlin is definitely not definitely
not the tyler c shit it was so good first of all my boy's so much more excited to see Tyler C than he is to see any of those chicks.
Ever.
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent.
Just give Tyler freaking Rose already, bro.
I don't know how much if Tyler was in on it.
And to be honest with you, I don't think he was in on it at all.
When she was like like so what are
you doing in farmington or wherever you know and he was like my boy's the bachelor like didn't
hesitate to drop that knowledge on that shit oh yeah not at all oh i'm famous didn't you know my
boy's the bachelor oh no one told you everyone wanted me to be the bachelor i turned it down
and i've got so much power that um I gave it to my friend randomly enough.
And, yeah, now I'm here.
My other thing was that when she was like, rub his nipples.
Oh, my God.
We already got a fucking ABC rub and tug on TV.
And you know my boy was sporting a chub.
Because ain't nobody ever had their nips rubbed that didn't get a chub.
All right.
He was at least flying half mast and I wanted him to pan down and black box that thing.
They should have.
They should have.
I just kept being like, okay, if this were me, like at what point do you get up and leave?
Like he just wasn't, cracked him like i thought for sure
when she's on the phone does yeah yeah i'm massaging um tyler from the bachelor like i
thought for sure he would just get up and leave and he he looked up but that was it he was like
well yeah i mean i'm sure this is now what he thinks is normal life you know i was waiting
for him to be like give me the phone i'll facetime with her and make her day like you know i was waiting for him to be like give me the phone i'll facetime with her and make
her day like you know as much as i loved that tyler definitely got a happy ending on national
television heather showing up is one of the fucking weirdest things that's ever happened
on that show is she just like kind of strange like she just i don't
know i've never met her the thing that everyone thinks that happened was that producers planned
this and from what i understand not the case she read where the show was being filmed or like
someone like maybe hannah brown told her where it was being filmed. She booked her own flight,
rented her very own Dodge Caravan,
and fucking drove there.
And I think everyone was like,
what are you doing?
Like Chris coming out and being like,
you can't come in here.
First of all,
like we have a bubble,
like you need to be fucking quarantined.
So it looked like they put her in like some hotel,
like some motel, like need to be fucking quarantined. So it looks like they put her in, like, some hotel, like, some motel, like, not in Nebukulun.
Oh, it's like, dude, what do you think's gonna happen?
I hate to say this, but it's when the tell-me-tee ads stop a-coming, you start making some bad plays. And one of them is renting the Dodge Caravan trying to get on a show.
Why did she rent a minivan?
I don't know, dude.
Oh, my God.
I do feel like they gave her a little too much airtime this week.
Like leading up to like, I didn't really need to see her goofing off in her hotel
room because she's losing her mind although i don't think she was losing her mind i think that's
who she is probably yeah um because she just seems quirky she really shocked me when she finally does
get to go in to the house like she doesn't even say hi to the girls i kind of thought she'd be
the kind of girl like girls girl that would walk in and try to be sweet to the girls and whatever
but she doesn't even give them the time of freaking day yeah remember when we were all complaining that i got cut out
of the episode and ben got cut out of the episode and like it seemed like they tried to put too much
in that episode and i was like something must happen and so thanks heather for cutting ben and
i out of an episode because you wanted 15 more minutes.
Yeah.
Well, and Tyler is the one that got all the airtime.
And I think even he got cut out a lot.
I mean, they played that fun game.
That was part of the date.
Right.
The more I watch it,
the more I don't think he's going to end up with anybody.
Really?
Yeah, I'm starting to lean towards that.
I mean, I think that Rachel's still my front runner,
but I don't even know if he's got a super,
I mean, he did tell her he was falling for her too.
I don't know, man.
Engagement's a heavy thing to do.
Yeah.
Talking about feelings,
Ryan, she was just so upset
before she even knew she was going home.
Before that rose ceremony, she was freaking out freaking out i mean talk about getting feelings quickly she's barely been there two weeks i know
we were watching it and i was like who is this person sarah was like oh she came in like last
week and i was like oh okay why are you freaking out lady no one-on-one no airtime and she is freaking yeah it was nuts is that enough bachelor stuff i think so i think
we covered most of it i did my favorite screw up was someone was like well there's no rose on the
placket it was like placket the fuck's a placket we looked it up the placket is something to do
with a skirt i think she meant placard, which would still be incorrect.
Bitch, just say plate.
Right.
Just say plate or trace.
Don't try to church up trays, you know?
Oh, God.
Anyways.
All right.
Too good.
Too good.
You want to do some fave things, bro? Yeah, God. Anyways. All right. Too good. Too good. You want to do some fave things, bro?
Yeah, bro.
I feel like it's maybe a chick show.
So you're probably maybe not going to watch it.
But have you seen Firefly Lane on Netflix?
Well, I saw it because I was hoping that someone had made the sci-fi western Firefly again that I was talking about as fan fiction book recently.
And it's not.
It's fucking something different.
And I was very upset.
Yeah, it's the equivalent of a chick flick probably.
I've had a lot of YFTers message me even before I knew this was out and saying I needed to watch this.
But it's adapted from a book by Kristen Hanna, who's like, she's a massive author, like massive
like women's fiction, like romance novelist, I think.
But what also caught my eye is it's starring Katherine Heigl, who we love from Grey's.
And she like has a totally different look in this show, which I love her
hair's like dark, dark Brown. Um, and she definitely like, she, she's, you know, a little
older than we're used to seeing her look, but I love her in this. I think she does a great job.
Um, and I watched two episodes with my mom while we were in Tampa and you, you really have to get
through the first one to really like understand, I, what's going on and who everyone is.
It's like the first episode is just a tad bit confusing.
But if you push through and get to episode two and you start to get the lay of the land on who everybody is and they do flashbacks to when they're kids and stuff, then I think it gets really good.
So what's it about?
So based off of this book by Kristen Hanna, it follows two best friends from their first meeting
through the following 30 years of their lives
and all of the ups and downs along the way.
So the two main characters are Tully and Kate,
and they're like complete opposites.
Kate is like the nerd, right?
Like she comes from like a super normal loving family,
lives with both parents or whatnot,
wears huge glasses, just like total
nerd. And then Tully is like tall, beautiful. Her mom is a whack job, drug addicted, um, absentee
mom and kind of thing. And I, I, like in the first episode, you kind of learned like her grandmother
raised her for a minute and then her mom comes in when she's 14 or 15 and decides she's going to come live with her.
So her life is just like a complete wreck.
But they're neighbors.
Like Tully moves in across the street from Kate when they're in high school.
And they ride the bus to school together and everything.
And where like they really have nothing in common.
They end up becoming friends.
And so you see like that.
You see flashbacks of when they're kids.
So you see like that, you see flashbacks of when they're kids.
And then most of the show is the now where they're in their late 30s.
And Tully ends up being super famous.
She's on television.
Kate works in the industry as well.
She's like an editor, wants to be an editor.
And Tully's like helping her get a job. And so the first two episodes are really it's really just it's about their friendship
their lives from childhood to adulthood and i mean like i said i'm only two episodes in so i don't
know about you know the conflict and the drama that's going to ensue but i love the characters
i love the actors and i think it's going to be a really good show it's not as good as the original
show firefly starring nathan fillion but whatever It's fine. That sounds cool. Have you heard of The Head?
No.
It's not what you think it is.
Doing some mouth.
What do I think it is?
Mouth deep dicking, I assume.
I did not think that.
Blowies.
One bit.
Beeges.
You know?
It's not that.
Nope.
It's not about giving head.
Okay?
I'd be worried if it was was and it was your favorite thing it's on hbo max which i
have really pivoted over to as of late because i see i feel like i've just gone through netflix
yeah here's what the show is it's not about blowies winter has fallen on the south pole
a small team known as winters will remain at the Polaris 6 Antarctic Research Station to continue their innovative research.
A crucial part in the fight against climate change.
The head.
Sounds great.
Bunch of fucking scientists living in the South Pole.
Half the year, it's sunny there.
And the other half, it's just pitch black.
So it starts out right on the verge of the switchover.
And they've had a bunch of people
at the Polaris research station
that were there during the daylight six months.
And now they're leaving and they're being replaced
or people are staying on to do the next six months in the dark.
Okay.
So they're having like this big party.
It's kind of like going away thing.
It's kind of cool.
And then everyone leaves and then it becomes dark
and there's just a handful of people there left.
And then my friends, it turns into a dumpster fire, shit show, murder fest.
Everyone ends up dead for some reason.
You're trying to figure out what's happening.
Who's killing these people?
Is it aliens from under the ice?
No.
Is it someone from the research center?
Is it because people are getting this thing called T3, which is like when you lose your mind because you're not seeing any light?
What's happening?
What's the motives?
It's a whodunit.
And it's pretty great.
I will say this.
I want you to watch it.
I think you'd like it.
I want you to watch it.
And I want to know if you figured out who it was.
I will say this.
Sarah usually gets it pretty right, but she fucking nailed this one.
Like halfway through she had her theory and I was like, I like that theory.
And she killed it.
So anyways.
So this is a show, right?
Not a movie?
Yeah.
It's a seven episode or eight episode show on HOMAX.
Okay.
All right.
Sounds great.
Check it out.
The head. Not to be confused with giving giving it no one else thought that except you okay so i've been kind of like holding off
on telling you guys that i watched this but i just it's just whatever dark times guys and just
not a whole lot of entertainment and i did it okay and is it YA yes is it about fairies yes am I ashamed of that maybe a little
bit did I love it absolutely there is a show on Netflix called Fate the Winx Saga what Fate the
Winx Saga that is not bad so it's. So it's kind of like Harry Potter.
Okay.
But instead of wizards, all these kids are fairies.
And I realize saying it out loud, it still sounds terrible.
Here's the tag.
A live action adaptation of Nickelodeon's Winx Club. It follows Bloom as she
adjusts to life in the other
world, where she must learn to
control her dangerous, magical
powers. Fate,
the Winx Saga on Netflix
for children, but
a 36-year-old is
suggesting it to his podcast
listeners.
Um, listen, it's YA. It it's like if you ever watch is it ya or
is it like children no it's why it's like high school yeah so if you ever watch the show the
magicians i love the magicians and my friend trevor's in it it's very much like that but
instead of magicians they're fairies but they have powers
you know like and there's all different types of fairies there's different sex there's forest
fairies and like water fairies and whatever so yeah if you're into like some magical shit
fate the wing saga is not terrible is all i'm saying it's not a very good endorsement i liked it i think you liked it more than you're letting on
too which scares me it is what it is all right we're just running out of stuff by the way i
finished messiah have did you ever watch messiah no i haven't started it yet oh god can you watch
it i want you to watch it so we can talk about the ending of it okay okay okay i'm gonna start
today and then the other one that I wanted you to watch.
Oh, The Little Things.
Did you ever watch that?
No.
Denzel Washington, Jared Leto.
Okay.
That's the movie.
It's a movie though, right?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You don't watch any of my suggestions.
I don't have any time.
Oh my God.
I forget who it was.
It was like, how does Wells have so much time to watch all of this TV?
And I was like, must be freaking nice.
I don't know.
Because I'm dedicated to this podcast, Brandy.
I want it to work.
Or you just have nothing else going on.
I got to put in the time, guys.
I'm doing this for you guys and for you, Brandy.
Sure.
Uh-huh.
Okay, do you want to go to books?
Yeah.
Okay.
What book you got?
So we really should have had him on the podcast.
Our good friend, Ben Higgins, finally released his book that I've been hearing him talk about for years.
And I'm so excited to start it.
So Ben sent me this.
Wells, I'm sure you got it too, right?
Of course.
So he is going to be on Sorry We're Stoned tomorrow.
So if you guys do want to hear from Ben,
want to hear him talk about the process of writing his book
and kind of the story behind it,
you can go listen to Sorry We're Stoned tomorrow
and he's on there.
But I remember Ben telling me he was going to write a book.
Yes, like I know Ben from The Bachelor, but I really know Ben because he was going to write a book. called Generous Coffee that is partnered with Humanity and Hope in the sense that the profits go back to the villages in Honduras that we work with there and they buy their coffee from farmers
in Honduras. So it's all connected until like that's the Ben I know. I've heard Ben just talk
so much about writing this book and the struggles that he had writing it. I think Ben's the kind of
person that wants it to be perfect and he just wants so badly, you know, for people to love what
he does. And, you know, we talked tomorrow on the podcast just about like how tough it is to read,
you know, nasty comments online, like that's just so hurtful. And so I know there was a lot of
pressure for him to write something that people really loved and did connect with. So I'm excited
about this. It's nonfiction. The title of it is Alone in Plain Sight Searching for Connection.
I think right
now, especially to like just with the past year and a half of isolation, like everyone during the
pandemic, like having to isolate at home and quarantine at home. And a lot of us have been
alone or not around many people at all for the past year and a half. And you do start to feel
that isolation and that like loss of connection with other people. And that's just such a huge
part of life. Like to me,
connecting with other people is really what life is all about. You know, at the end of the day,
like, yeah, our work is great, especially if we love it, but it's not what life's about. And
yeah, the achievements and the money is cool, but like, it's not what life's about. It's about
connecting with people. He's got a lot of really cool endorsements on the back of it as well. I
know he's a big fan of Bob Goff and I love Bob Goff. If you don't know who he is, he has an amazing book called Love Does. So to see Bob endorse Ben's book on the back,
I know that's super cool for him and I'm just really excited to crack into it. So I'm sure
I'll have it read in the next couple of weeks and tell you guys what I thought about it. But
I love Ben and I know this book is going to be amazing. Love me some Ben Jamin Higgins.
love me some ben jamin higgins speaking of i've been invited to his bachelor party oh that's exciting where are you going i don't know if i'm allowed to say in that information but um
i'm gonna come out with part two and it's just gonna be tales from his bachelor party and I'm reading a book that is on Reese Witherspoon's, you know, must read list, which I feel like she's hit and miss because a lot of her stuff she's bought the rights for.
So she's promoting stuff that she thinks is going to be a good TV show, which is smart.
This one's called The Sanatorium.
I think it's a New York Times bestseller.
Here's what Reese said about it. An eerie, atmospheric novel that had me completely on the edge of my seat. The tag is, you won't want to leave until you can't. Les Sommets has always been a sinister place. Long played by troubling rumors,
the former abandoned sanatorium has since been renovated
into a five-star minimalist hotel.
An imposing isolated getaway spot high up in the Swiss Alps
is the last place Elin Warner wants to be.
But Elin's taken time off from her job as a detective,
so when her estranged brother Isaac and his
fiancé Lori invite her to celebrate
their engagement at the hotel,
Elin really has no reason
not to accept. Arriving in the
midst of a threatening storm,
Elin immediately feels on the
edge. There's something about
the hotel that makes her
nervous. And when they wake the
following morning to discover lord is
missing elan must trust her instincts if they hope to find her with the storm closing off all access
to the hotel the longer lori stays missing the more the remaining guests start to panic
the sanatorium so anyways i'm like pretty in, but it does seem pretty interesting and kind of creepy.
So I'll tell you about it later.
Okay, great.
It sounds good.
It's got like a little bit of the shining vibe.
You know, it's like, I don't know if this is my favorite thing or not yet, but your boy got into some air frying.
Oh boy.
That's right. air beware you're about to get a ride by your boy
all right gonna be killing a bunch of explain this to me this what is air frying exactly so
i think it's a fancy way of saying convection oven which is a fancy way of saying oven that has a fan in it.
So basically what it does is it just circulates hot air around it. So it's like just hanging out in Palm Springs, I suppose.
And it's supposed to be like super easy to cook stuff in.
And for things in, I've burned a lot of stuff.
Really?
Yes.
But we did buy a bunch of cookbooks because we're air fryer years
old here's the thing this is how you know you're getting old i was like watching a lot of
infomercials about air fryers i was like interested in like i was seeing potential
in becoming an air fryer guy i pulled the trigger on one and now I'm fucking up everything that goes into my air fryer.
And I don't know if I'm doing it wrong
or if I'm like not timing it outright,
but we got some cookbooks and I'm air fryer years old.
When you get to your mid thirties,
this is what you talk about.
No more is it Molly and fucking partying out
and like sleeping around and like,
you know, it's, hey man,
what should we put in the air fryer tonight
I'm air fryer years old
and that's where we are alright
yikes well I have a convection oven
is it really the same thing
yeah then you got an air fryer bro
oh sickening you have like a normal oven
that has a convection setting
yeah that's air fryer that's an air fryer
so you know
I will say I do like the toast option.
Oh, what's that do?
So you're just like, well, you can choose what shade you want.
What?
That's right.
That's pretty sick.
Yeah.
My last thing is, have you ever gone to the grocery store and like someone's ahead of
you and they're just kind of like, you don't want to, you can't pass them.
They're just kind of in the way.
And then you kind of wait for a while. And then eventually they'd turn around. They're like, oh, sorry, I'm in your way. And you're like, you don't want to, you can't pass them. They're just kind of in the way. And then you kind of wait for a while.
And then eventually they'd turn around.
They're like, oh, sorry, I'm in your way.
And you're like, yeah, fucking move.
And then they move and then you go around them.
And then somehow they figured out a way, like pull their cart,
like directly to where you are going.
And then you get stopped again.
And you're just like, what are you doing?
Just get the fuck out of my way.
And like, they're always just kind of like on your shit.
And you're just like, first of all, it's pandemic.
Fucking back up at least six feet. Also, how do you figure out exactly where i'm going
to be and then you go there and you block me again i hate you so much yeah i run into this
problem in the airport yes i just flew home so it's like very fresh it's people that like aren't
paying attention yeah to where they're going like I can't stand when people aren't looking where they're going.
Like when they're walking somewhere or especially like I'm a very fast walker.
So if someone's walking for me slowly and they're taking up the whole fricking space
to where I can't walk around, I'm like, that drives me freaking crazy.
Oh my God.
How about when you're walking?
When they stop in the middle of like a moving.
Yeah.
So with luggage, they just stop.
And they just like stop.
And I'm just like, are you freaking kidding me right now?
Yeah.
I was thinking the same thing there.
Everyone's walking flow of traffic.
All right.
And then, and then all of a sudden they look at their fucking phone and it makes them stop.
And then you fucking almost run into them because they're stupid.
Dude, if you're going to look at your phone and stop, look around first first figure out what's who's around you so you don't nail somebody we gotta get a name for
them inconsiderate that's what i call it you have no sympathy for my space no empathy for my shit
i hate you uh-huh you got anything else i got some music what music do you? So I feel like we were just the other day or the other week, I should say, talking about my friends.
You know them, too.
They're from Nashville and a band called the St. John's.
Were we talking about them recently?
Yeah.
Love, love, love the St. John's.
And they, I think, took a long break for a while.
I know that Jordan was doing like a side project of her own called Sad Penny. And so
I think they've just now started to put out new stuff for the St. John's and it's been a while,
but they have a new single called Outside Looking In. And I'm just such a massive fan of them. Like
I don't understand how they didn't blow up the minute they became a thing because they're just just so talented. I'm on the outside looking in All of the faces I could have been
I'm losing my mind
Oh, at least I am
Oh, here we go again
I'm on the outside looking in
That's good.
They're so good.
And I know live music isn't happening right now,
but when it comes back,
if you guys ever get a chance to see the St. John's live,
they're just so good live.
Jo, she plays electric guitar.
She's so badass.
Her harmonies are spot on every time.
And they had an album out in 2016 called Dead of Night.
I love every song on the album.
So go check out the St. John's.
All right.
You love Ben Howard, right?
Yes.
I saw that Ben Howard's got new stuff out.
Yeah.
Don't get me wrong.
I love Ben Howard and I will be a Ben Howard fan for life.
But he did put out a record that was not my favorite, I'll say. Agreed. His last album. I was just like, I love you a Ben Howard fan for life, but he did put out a record that was not my favorite.
I'll say his last album.
I was just like,
eh,
you know,
I love,
I love you Ben Howard,
but like this one's not my fave.
Um,
but he,
there's this song popped up on my released release radar called Crowhurst meme.
Yeah.
And it's actually a cool vibe.
His voice is everything when i wake up
i'm surrounded
when i wake up
i'm alone
terribly sorry i'm not quite right yeah i heard that the other day on my run and i don't hate it but not to be this guy
i really like old ben Howard stuff. I know.
I do too.
But I did at least, I would like listen to that while I'm driving.
It's good driving music.
Yeah.
I've played this song before.
It's a shovels and rope tune, but they put out an acoustic version and I'm like obsessed with it.
It's like one of those, they're like, I hear it and I just keep on playing it on repeat and then like go learn the guitar like a dork.
I just keep on playing it on repeat and then like go learn the guitar like a dork.
It's just such like lyrically, it's just so great.
Anyways, yeah, it's Shovels and Rope.
The song's called Mississippi Nothin'. Remember when we used to wear each other's clothes?
Yeah, I've been struggling.
But I know lots of things
And I got an idea
That's gonna turn on the money hoes
Choking on a joke, trying to keep it light
I could never quite get the timing right
But you, you never know how it feels
I got ideas
No one knows We watched you on TV
At the recovery
Love the song. It's so good.
It's very well to Adam's track.
