All of the beautiful people say hey. All of the beautiful people say, hey, all of the beautiful people say, uh. What's up, YFTers? I just want you to know the dedication that we're dealing with here. I literally just got off a flight from Austin, drove straight to the studio, kissed my wife hello, made a weird chip and american cheese and pickle snack and came straight to the studio because this show comes first baby we gotta get her done and it's like 6 45 and i that means it's 8 45 in nashville which means it's way too late for the Brandyze. So she's going to be low energy. But don't you worry, folks. Your boy's here to take care of everything. Well, let's go ahead and call her, though,

before she falls asleep. Let's call her up before she falls asleep. Let's call her up right now. Hello. Hello. How you doing? I'm tired. Oh, my God. It's 8. Hello. Hello. How you doing? I'm tired. Oh my God.

It's 855 and Brandy's tired. I've had a crazy past few days. Have you? Yeah. Tell us all about it. Okay. So Wednesday I flew down to the Grand Caymans. Oh my goodness.

Yeah. I flew down to the Grand Caymans. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. I was down in the islands for a couple of days. I had to work on Friday night. I had to like spin some tunes for the crew down there. But I went a day early so I could have like a day. So I had Thursday to chill.

Swam with some stingrays. Got to hold some starfish. It was really quite lovely. Cool. And I really quite lovely. Cool. And I really loved Grand Cayman. I thought it was much better than the Bahamas. Oh, okay. Bahamas are very crowded, touristy. This was not. This felt very local and much more laid back. Water's gorgeous, pretty warm, even like this time of year.

Like I had such a great time, right? Like absolutely great trip until I tried to leave. Okay. Saturday, for some reason, the earliest flight out was at 2 p.m. And I had to fly to Nashville and play Nashville Saturday night, okay? No direct flight, of course.

So I was leaving at 2 p.m., stopping in Atlanta, and I was supposed to land in Nashville at 6.30 and play in Nashville at 11 p.m. So that's like a pretty good five-hour cushion, you know? I was like, plenty of time for some delays, whatever. I could still get there, take a shower, go play. Wake up on Saturday morning to a notification that my flight is delayed three hours.

Ooh, cutting it close. Just for no reason, three hours. Well, cutting it close. Just for no reason. Three hours. Well, not only did I cut it close, I was going to miss my layover in Atlanta. And all the other flights from Atlanta to Nashville were sold out. So that was, I was SOL. So the only other flights to get me out were, of course, on American Airlines.

So I had to purchase a whole new flight on American Airlines. And the one I bought went through miami it was a little delayed no actually it wasn't it went through miami and mounds nashville the minute i booked it five minutes later notification delayed three hours gonna miss the miami connection so fucked me on that then i was like all right there's this one through charlotte and it's gonna get me in at like 9 30 so we're cutting it close but still doable you know what i mean yeah so i've been in the airport at this point i was in the cayman airport from 11 30 a.m until 5 30 p.m because that flight got so delayed it didn't take off until 5 30 so you were there for six hours

literally six hours and sat on the runway they loaded us on the plane and sat us on the runway for an extra hour just for no reason. They said runway congestion. Okay, there's eight gates in Cayman. So how congested could it be really? You know what I mean? Yeah. Get us on the plane.

Take us to Charlotte. And then, of course, the Charlotte to Nashville flight is also delayed. Yeah. And, of course, I haven't eaten all day because I've been in the airport. No options for food unless you want Wendy's in the Cayman airport. And of course, by the time I get to Charlotte, everything's closed because they're close. Now you're hangry. Oh, so bad. And I would just like, I was like starting to crash. It's one thing to be tired and having to be having sat in the airports all day.

It's another thing to have had no food. You know what mean but i was like god i gotta push on so i'm texting everybody i'm like i i hope i make this show like this is still delayed now it's saying i land in nashville at 10 16 fuck a shower guess i'll go gross you know like guess i won't take a shower you know trying to like get all these people to like come get me and bring me clothes and all the things i could just go straight to the venue finally get to nashville at 10 22 p.m plenty of time if only i was a guy and then that would be plenty of time you know it must be fucking nice to be a guy and be able to just put on a cap and a sweatshirt and just roll on in i'm not on trial here i've done done nothing wrong. All right? Don't loop me into this. Literally, this was going through my brain the whole time. I'm like, if only I was a male.

Yeah. This would be fine. This would totally be fine. But I'm not. And I'm expected to look hot on stage. So didn't shower. I actually met the loveliest, the one silver lining of this whole day, the loveliest flight attendant who was was it was a wife tier oh nice and she was so nice and so cute and i was like hey do you think it'd be okay if i like did my makeup in the airport in the airplane bathroom and like just knock if someone needs to use it and she was like oh go right ahead we'll just make everyone go to the back yeah i was like

yes how long does it take it took me like 10 minutes that's a normal length of a shit so that's fine. I don't think I've ever seen anyone go into the airplane bathroom for longer than like two minutes. Everyone wants out of there like immediately, you know. Unless you got to take a grumper. I guess so. So anyway, I did my makeup in the bathroom, which actually the lighting in the bathroom on the American Airlines airplane was pretty good for plucking my eyebrows. Like, you know, some lights like you can really see everything and other lights you can't?

I could really see everything. So I was like, oh, let's give my brows a quick tweeze. Got off the plane. My friend Kirsten picked me up. I changed clothes in the car. And I was 15 minutes late to my set, but I made it. Nice. You know, that's a really hard story to relate to because it starts out with you being in the cayman islands for work whatever why didn't you just not book a show that night on the way because

i need the money honey and because here's what frustrates me here's what frustrates me about the the whole flying situation left out a lot of cliff of like cliff notes um like subtext on in this story and let me just say like along the way i showed up at the airport there were two flights that were leaving within an hour you know yeah that i could have made and they were like sorry that flight's closed like they wouldn't put me on the flight yeah even though i went through security and went to the gates and those flights hadn't even started boarding yet and there were empty seats on them and they wouldn't put me on the flight. Yeah. Even though I went through security and went to the gates and those flights hadn't even started boarding yet.

And there were empty seats on them and they wouldn't let me on. And then also, the thing about the Caymans, first of all, I was forced to check my bag even though I normally would not do that

because I'm such a professional. Like I've got TSA, I've got all the things and I've got like all my carry-on stuff down to a science. But the Caymans are a UK territory.

So it's like, have you been through the london heat throw airport i think so yes they are such fucking narcs about your liquids they take every like even if it's like a gel even if it's like a lip gloss they count that as a liquid and if it doesn't fit in one tiny little plastic bag they throw it away or make you go all the way back and check it in every time i've gone through london heat throw it's been a complete nightmare and i'm sorry some of my shit's expensive i don't want to just toss it so they made me the way back and check it in. Every time I've gone through London Heathrow, it's been a complete nightmare. And I'm sorry, some of my shit's expensive. I don't want to just toss it. So they made me check my bag. And then I get up to the gate and I'm like,

all right, there's this flight that's about to board and there's empty seats on it. Can I please get on this flight? And they're like, well, did you check a bag? And I was like, yeah, you guys fucking made me and say like that, but like, yeah. And they're like, well, you know, this is international. You can't travel without your bag.

I don't care about the bag. I'll get it when I get it. And he was like, no no it won't leave if you leave first got it got it so that i just stand there and like watch these people get on this flight that would have gotten me there on time so it just frustrates me when like a day that didn't have to be shitty was shitty because people wouldn't just put me on the flight, you don't have to say that. Still, though, you're in the Canaan, so I have a kind of like little sympathy for you. It's taken me until now to feel somewhat revived. I had a crazy couple of days, but I'm not a complainer, you know, I'm just. Yes, you are. I'm just happy to be around and alive.

We went to the night before the Oscars party, which was fun and star-studded. Myself and Sarah and Brian Bumgardner, Kevin from The Office, and his wife, we closed that bitch down. Also, this tends to happen to me a lot. And if I had enough to drink, I'll acquiesce. But usually people are like, aren't you going you gonna make the drinks it always is that joke and usually i'm like not today pal and then for some reason i was like you know what at the oscars i will make the drinks so i started making drinks for people which is okay which has got to be illegal yeah but you know those celebrities they get away with everything so anyways we did that And then we got home at like, I don't know, midnight, went to bed, woke up at five in the morning.

But really, it was four in the morning because of the time change. Went to the airport, jumped on a Southwest flight, flew to South by Southwest in Austin, got off the plane, slept for like two hours at the hotel room. Then went to this iHeart dinner that myself and Tyler Florence were hosting then the Black Keys performed which was saw that on your story fucking awesome yeah then went out went to the Continental got drunk and then uh this morning I walked over to Terry Black's so So fucking good. You know, it was a little dry today. I got to be honest with you. Oh, really?

You know. Not a complainer, huh? Listen, if you're going to be the best barbecue place in Austin, I expect my brisket to be fucking moist. You know, just. And it wasn't. But anyways, we had a great time. Or I had a great time. Or I had a great time. I literally just landed, and I raced back home and kissed my wife on the lips, and here we are. Here we are.

Here we are. You want to talk about the show? Mm-hmm. Okay. Is it me or you? I think it's you. Okay. Bros and hoes, you're listening to a complainer in Brandy and someone who looks at the bright side of the road in Wells

on your favorite podcast, which is called Your Favorite Thing Podcast with... Wells and Brandy. Yeah, I don't know. I fucked it up. You did. It wasn't great. You want to try again? No.

I. Code your favorite thing. Do it. I love South by Southwest. I mean, it's fine. It's one of my favorite festivals.

I love it. It's just like really inundates that city, you know? And it's kind of like a shit show there. Yeah, well. I mean, I saw one show and it was one of my favorite bands. So that was great. Then I got the hell out of there. So I have no complaints at all.

But I do love Austin. I like that they're keeping it weird over there. They are. do you want to talk bachelor or do you want to talk love is blind can we start with the oscars actually okay i didn't watch them but i know what happened i was hosting an event did you at least see the i'm just ken performance no but i know it was good it was so fucking great like what what can't Ryan Gosling do? That's my question. Win an Oscar. Well, I don't know that he should.

I mean, I don't know that he should have won it for this necessarily. But I just, I mean, come on. For a guy that's not a singer to get up there and do a performance like that and actually sing and fucking crush. Like I was impressed. I just, Ryan Gosling, he's an icon. First of all, how do you know he's not a singer well i know he's like he did um lala land which had some singing but like he's just not like a sing i wouldn't call ryan gosling a singer you know what i mean he was in the mickey mouse club for christ's sake here's the thing all these actors

even though like the heartthrobs and the cool guys whatever they were all musical theater nerds and the cool guys whatever they were all musical theater nerds as kids yeah they were all singers i mean yeah but like not like it's just not he's just not very experienced in it and like you i guess you don't know how don't know how it is but like to be on stage like that in in such a big such a big production and do and with the in-ears and like it's just a lot for somebody that's not used to that and i I was just so impressed. I just so impressed. Yeah. So he was great. I saw.

I'm just kidding. And like Mark Ronson fucking crushed with that song too. Yeah. Genius. I saw a Billie Eilish one as well for that movie, which is great. I saw her speech and she didn't thank her brother, which I think she should because her brother kind of writes all her shit. Let's be honest.

Did he not go up there with her? I don't know. I don't. Usually they go together. You're the one who watched it. I didn't watch it. I didn't watch the whole thing. I just watched the highlights.

I saw Robert Downey Jr. finally made it. Happy for him. Kind of called that. Yeah, Jimmy Kimmel took a hard dig at him in his opening monologue. I heard about that. I was very, very surprised that, is it Lily Gladstone? Mm-hmm. From Pillars of the Flyer Moon moon did not win emma stone did that

was a shocker to me yeah i agree but it was also a shocker to her yeah i think it was a shocker to everybody everyone was like of course she's gonna win this it's an amazing scorsese film did you watch poor things no i haven't well i need to watch it i'm just kidding that song gets stuck in my head so bad wow really good i've never even i never saw the movie like the lyrics are so freaking genius i never saw the movie i watched my wife watch it next to me on a plane and i thought to myself it's really like it's not for me you don't need to watch the whole movie no you should watch the scene where he does i'm just kidding because just the lyrics and the story and the scene is good. Yeah.

Okay. I want to talk a little bit about Love is Blind. Okay, great. Let's do it. Okay. And I have a complaint. Oh, funny. What?

I'm not a complainer. You can't start the episode by saying I'm not a complainer and then have two complaints in the first five minutes. What I'm complaining about is it's complaining okay fine you're right i guess i'm not complaining about my life all right i'm not complaining about being in the caymans let's hear your complaints okay i've made the joke that the show shouldn't be called love is blind the show should be called watch this person get left at the altar that's that's really what the show is and i do feel like this show is disingenuous and it tries

to do this whole like switcheroo to makes you think that like you're watching something that you really are but you really are just watching a couple not get married at the end yes of course there are some that work right i? I don't know everyone's names, but I got kind of upset because I kind of made a dig at it on my like TikTok about like, why are we pretending to be like Nicolashane being like, why are we still doing this show? Like we know love is implied, like it's not. And like, oh, the ratings are great. Oh, okay. Well, let's just keep doing it. And people like came in the comments and was like, what are you talking about? That's exactly what bachelor is and bachelor in paradise is. And like, you guys

don't think that's going to work. And here's my complaint about it. I can really only speak for bachelor in paradise. We want there to be success. The show is like considered a success or a failure. If people get engaged on bachelor in paradise, it's like the barometer for the success, like aside from like ratings. And so for you to say that we don't want that, that's crazy. Like we are all rooting for it. Like everyone is trying to get these people to get engaged and get married and have kids on the show. And that's not the case for Love is Blind. What they want is they want someone to be embarrassed in front of a lot of people. And what frustrates me about that show is

you really only get like one shot at getting married for the first time. Thankfully, that one couple did get married. The guy, the girl who's like got a Puerto Rican father and like a Spanish mother. And you have this like really wonderful scene of like the Puerto Rican father seeing the daughter and crying and like giving them advice and everything.

And I was thinking about it like it would be so fucked up if someone doesn't say yes and totally ruins that thing. Because no one's ever been to a wedding where they think it's not going to happen. No, I know. Was it AD? Yeah. The other guy who like we all saw from a mile away was Clay? Yeah. That guy, you knew what he was going to do.

I know. There's even a clip. Did you see the clip where they're like. Where he says no or something? Yeah. Yeah. What are they telling them behind the scenes? What are they saying to Clay that makes him think it's okay to to have this wedding and walk down the aisle just to tell her no?

Yeah, I don't know what the mental gymnastics the producers have to do to like... I don't even know if it's contractual. And maybe it is. I'd love to see what that contract looks like. But then how come Clingy Girl and Dorky Guy didn't have to do it? Yeah, I agree like i think it's a fucked up if you really care for someone you wouldn't like put them through that like you have to be a pretty shitty person i think to do what that guy did to ad i agree and i mean she

was fucking crushed there is a part of like everyone wants to be famous on these things for sure you can't discredit that i assume that that there's a, like, I want to be on TV as much as possible. If I was his producer, I'd be like, it would be crazy if you guys got married. Like you just met, right? And like, you can date afterwards. So just make sure what you say to her up there, like makes it be known that, you know, you want to work on yourself. You want to work on the relationship and like you, she deserves a better wedding, whatever it is. And I'm sure he's like, yeah, I can do this. But at the end of the day, like, it's just a fucked up thing.

And it's also a fucked up. I think the problem is, like, yeah, like on The Bachelor and The Bachelor and The Bachelor and Paradise. It could be a little bit mean-spirited. But I think at the end of the day, it really is trying to, like, have these people find love. They had A.D. go first because they knew she was going to say yes. I know. And they knew how crushing it would be when he says no next.

That's another level of like, ooh, eh, I don't know about that. I agree. Problem is, it is good TV. Yeah. Which is why they keep doing it, right? I mean... Totally.

And I'm like totally enthralled with it. I think that I've done this now every time I've watched a show. I get angry at the end of it. Because this is what your show is, and it's fucking mean to these people. I saw that Jimmy and Chelsea are together, though. They've been papped in Florida together. They're stupid. They should not be together.

They should not. They should not be together. They should not. They should not. And then I saw that Jess is with that hairy guy from Too Hot to Handle. Harry Jowsey? The tall guy. Yeah. Harry Jowsey. She's with Harry Jowsey?

They were caught, like, canoodling in the surf. Really? And, you know, that guy is, is like the poor man's Pete Davidson. He's like the reality TV Pete Davidson. Like he's like fucking so many reality stars where you're like, how are you doing this? Yeah, I don't know. All I know is he just came out with a podcast. Of course he did.

Anyways, I saw that. So, you know, they're doing great. Yeah. I'm excited about the reunion. I think the reunion will be better than this last episode was. So, you know, they're doing great. Yeah. I'm excited about the reunion. I think the reunion will be better than this last episode was. Yeah, all I got to say is Netflix, you better make sure that if this thing's live that you have the bandwidth to be able to support all of us watching. Okay? I know.

I don't think it is live because I think Blake and G and Nino were there. Oh, really? And it's already filmed and that doesn't come out until next week. Pivot over to The Bachelor. We're going to be on episode late here. Sorry, guys. But Maria going home. See you later.

Can you believe it? Yep. I can too. Okay, so there's a part of me. I've got a couple theories here. Okay. I love Maria. Fully team Maria to be The Bachelorette.

Mm-hmm. All right? Us Weekly, you can pull that quote if you want. Oh, great. Listen, I think that he does have a very strong connection with her, but I think that he's kind of fed up with the antics of her. The whole thing of, like, I might leave. I don't think he was just like, whatever.

And I don't know this for a fact. I never talked to him about this, but this is my thought. I think one of the reasons why he sent her home is so he doesn't have a fantasy suite with her i could see that not to say that she's a flatfoot floozy over here but i do think that like she's like a flatfoot floozy i haven't heard that before she's very sexual and i could see him like not being able to like not go to pound town in Thailand. And then it's like a fucked up thing of like.

Well, then you're in a Clayton situation, right? Yeah, I know. Which I think is ridiculous. I have been very against anyone knowing what happens. The reason why you kick the producers and the camera guys out is so you don't know what happens. I think that there should be some class there. There should be some discretion. And you should get to fuck all of them. No.

No. You get to fuck them all. It's your little prize for doing this. You have to cut all of it. Why? Why? Guys. I agree for both the Bachelorette

and the Bachelor. Oh my god. That's your little prize that you get to go to. No. It's a nice little treat. Nope. It's not. That's not how it is. Well, it could be. Nope.

If I was in charge, if all those Bachelors and Bachelorette knew that their secret was safe with me, and it was discretion, was the name of the game. Anyways, I hope Maria is the bachelorette. It could happen. Absolutely. Yeah. Let's go through it.

If he chooses Daisy, then it's Maria. If he chooses Kelsey, then it's a toss-up. If he chooses Rachel, toss-up i really like rachel i like her too i just don't see the chemistry that he has with her in comparison same i do think that he probably asked every father for their blessing but it's funny that they only showed him doing it to maria's dad i know. Maria's dad tells her and she's like, you don't have to tell me that. I almost feel like in that moment,

that was kind of the first time that maybe she realized how serious this was and how much Joey liked her for her to get to the end of that night and not say, I love you was pretty fucking crazy because I really feel like she was like super touched by the fact that he's asked you know what i mean like she was so emotional and then like for me like i mean the look on joey's face when he was waiting for her to say it and then she doesn't to me that was when he decided that she was gonna go home i agree and i think and even though she pulled him like

didn't matter he'd already made his mind up yeah what's he gonna do yeah she fucked it up she did or she didn't because she might be the bachelorette. Right. I honestly think that would be for the best, because, I don't know, I think she and Joey have fun and have a lot of sexual chemistry, but I just feel like, in the long run, maybe not the most compatible. I don't really care about that.

I just... Of course you don't. Oh, Lord. I don't really care about that. I like spicy women, Lord. I obviously don't really care about that. I like spicy women, though. Like, I like some. Yeah, but I don't think Joey needs that. Yeah, I don't.

Yeah, there's a big difference between Joey and myself. Yes, very big difference. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You need someone that puts you in check. Joey's too fragile. Yeah.

We got to protect him like a baby bird sweet little softy yeah a baby bird okay are you on the side of tiktok that shows the eagles that are nesting in in big bear and their three eggs no okay there's these eagles these bald eagles in big bear and they've been like sitting on these eggs through like crazy winter weather like i i don't there's i guess wildlife cams that show the live feed 24 7 there are people on tiktok that are religiously following these eggs and i've been following along for like weeks now shadow and jackie jackie and shadow are the eagles okay apparently people have been following them for a long time and they're just like in love and like the sweetest

little eagle pair and then finally laid these three eggs and you know bald eagles are endangered and like i guess these eggs just don't come around very often apparently and not only do they not come around as often it's like like sometimes they have eggs and then they just don't hatch and whatnot and so like i've been following this. Everyone's been rooting for these eagles and to watch them through these winds and snow and ice, sitting on these eggs and just so diligent. They take turns swapping shifts and getting each other food. It's just so fucking sweet. Now they're saying that the eggs, it's been too many days.

They're saying that the science says if the eggs don't hatch within x amount of days and they're probably not going to hatch and now i'm fucking devastated because i've been watching these eagles for weeks now yeah it's not looking good this is what it's really not it's really fucking sad like watching them sit and sit there and like freeze to death to like keep they're not gonna freeze to death and then they don't even hatch if you had seen the live the live stream of them out in the snow and the wind and it just like looked so fucking crazy and they don't even get their little eggs to hatch i'm crushed wildlife watchers keeping tabs on bald eagle couple jackie

and shadow are worried about their three eggs the first of which should have hatched by now, but hasn't. Hell yeah, I'm invested. Oh my goodness. I know my shit. Whatever happened to the stingray? Oh, I don't know. That's a good question. It says he's set to give birth, but hasn't yet. I'm waiting for the Jesus stingray.

You know? Yeah. I wish Jesus would help out the eagles. Yeah, Jesus. What's going on? You only care about stingrays. You don't care about bald eagles. And don't you know, Jesus, that's the symbol of our country.

All right? True. That's an eagle cry. The sound of freedom, Jesus. Where are you? Oh. You got some faith things, bro? What's going on?

Wait, have you started Constellation? Yes. How far in are you? I think only like a couple episodes. It's very good, though, and I like it, but I still have a lot of questions. I have a lot of questions. Yeah. And I'm caught up now, so I'm on like episode five, maybe.

Okay. And it's starting to lose me a little bit. It's starting to get a little too crazy yeah yeah yeah yeah i liked it when she was in space i thought that was cool right that part was super cool very cool and her like figuring out how to come back uh was very cool and i'm excited to see what this like blue goo is blue goo alien jizz that's what I think it is. I'm just confused about, okay, so like from what I can tell, it's kind of what I said last week, like, right?

Like there's this multiverse and there's different, it's like the book Dark Matter. It's like there's different versions of you. Yeah. Like in one universe, in one, you know, dimension, she survived that and got home. In another one, she died up in space. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah and so from what i can understand right like when you see the old guy with the glasses his name

is like harry yeah you know but then he's got this twin brother twin brother named something else and they're the same person clearly this is like one guy's in one dimension and one guy's you know in the other and it's just different but okay and they both went to space so this makes sense to me i'm like in space somehow your your universes your dimensions they get they get confused yeah but what about alice the little girl why is her why are there two of her why is she getting why can she see things she didn't go to space this is my big this is my one big hang up on this it like, this is all making sense to me except for the girl. I don't know.

I need to, I need to watch more of it to give you a real opinion, but I do like it. I think it's a good show. Yeah, I do too. I hope they don't, I hope they like reel it in a little bit though. It's,

it's getting a little, yeah. Well, something. I finally started watching traders. So many YFT years have been begging me to watch traders because I do love the challenge. We know that. I started watching Traitors. So many YFTers have been begging me to watch Traitors because I do love the challenge. We know that.

I started watching season two, and I got to say, it's really good. It's very fun, but it's a lot like the challenge, except the challenges aren't as physically demanding. Okay. But no, it's really good. Pilot Pete's really good at this game. Pilot Pete's on it?

Pilot Pete's on it pete's on it bergie is on it from low island usa wow michael jordan's son is on it and also his girlfriend which is scotty pippen's ex-wife what wait wait wait wait yeah try to absorb that information michael jordan's son yes is. Is dating, I think. Scottie Pippen's ex-wife. What's the age gap there? Big, large. Fascinating.

Gross. I imagine Scottie Pippen doesn't love any of this. I imagine Michael Jordan thinks it's pretty funny. Johnny Bananas is on it. He's on every show. He's on everything. What the hell? Why can't you go on this? Probably good. Anna's is on it. He's on every show. He's on everything. What the hell? CT's on it. Why can't you go on this?

Probably good. I might help you out a little. I know. Get a little screen time. But here's the thing, though. Like, being a reality TV person on this show, because I've been thinking about it, like, how would you go about this show? You've got to kind of fly under the radar.

And flying under the radar is very hard for reality TV people to do because they are always, like, the fucking loudest people in the room, you know? That's true. Like, it's, like, Real Housewives people and, like, Johnny Bananas and Shaws of Sunset. Like, it's all these, like, crazy reality TV people. But, like, in a game like that where you're, like, trying to, like, have, like, people kind of leave you alone, it's tough. So anyways, I'm only a couple episodes in, but I like it. Good recommendation. Why F.T.E.R.S.? I feel like I watched something else new, and now I can't remember what it is.

Wow, if only you... Took notes? Took some notes for this show. What was it? I watched a pretty crazy documentary called The Octopus Murders. Have you seen that? I've heard of it. Oh, my God.

It's on Netflix. It follows a journalist who has a mysterious death while probing an alleged conspiracy called The Octopus, linking spy software theft, unsolved murders, and major 20th century scandals. American conspiracy, The Octopus Mur murders. It's pretty crazy. It kind of starts in like the early 80s, like in the beginning of like the internet and computers. And this guy makes this program to basically make it so all the police stations can be kind of like connected. So like they can be like, we're looking're looking for you know a white male who's been known to be a peeping tom and like then they can go find it like other places that that person has

been like arrested like people like that have been arrested and you know the government like really likes this technology and then kind of steals it and like fucks the guy who made it and he's like owed like millions of dollars and they're like where the government is going to take this so then that happens you're like that's kind of messed up And they're like, we're the government. We're just going to take this. So then that happens. You're like, that's kind of messed up. And then all of a sudden you realize that Ronald Reagan is involved. President Bush, the first one, when he was like head of the CIA, he's involved. And this journalist gets murdered.

And like right before he gets murdered, he's like, if anything happens to me, I did not want to die. Just so you know. Like, he knows he's about to get whacked off. And then gets whacked off. Anyways, it just makes you think, wow, this country's kind of fucked up sometimes. You know? You know? Very true.

But then you're like, I don't know if I believe any of that. You know? It's one of those. But yeah. Octopus Murders. Check it out. There is a new Netflix series. I haven't started yet.

Great. But I'm very excited about it. It's the one with Theo James. Have you seen that at all? No. Is it called The Gentleman? Oh, yeah, yeah. So it's based off of the movie The Gentleman.

That's what I figured. Why do they keep doing that? Why can't they just make some original shit? Because no one fucking writes new shit anymore. So annoying. But I'm going to watch it anyway because Theo James. Annie Horteman inherits a family estate, initially unaware it's home to a drug empire run by a syndicate that has no plans to vacate.

A new class of criminal, The Gentleman, a Guy Ritchie series. series yeah that does look pretty good the other one that looks pretty good that i want to start watching is three body problem what's that once it could be it's on netflix coming out mark 21st i read the book so i'm really interested to see how they're going to do this a fateful decision made in 1960s china reverberates in the present where a group of scientists partner with a detective to confront an existential

planetary threat. Three body problem from the creators of Game of Thrones on Netflix. March 21st. Okay. Very excited about that. I told you that I watched Wednesday and that i loved it

right oh yeah but i do as an adams have a problem with the show and i don't think i ever call it a complaint yeah i would call this a complaint okay and i realized what i did what i didn't love about what they did i'm okay with them making everyone in the Addams family Latino. It's all Mexican actors, right? Okay. I'm fine with that, even though the original Addams were from Spain. Okay. Just saying, okay?

As an Addams, I know the history of the Addams family. Yeah. They make Gomez not a heartthrob, debonair guy. They have Morticia being played by Catherine Zeta-Jones, one of the sexiest women ever, okay? And that totally embodies Morticia is on the show. Okay. And then they have Gomez. They have him played by Luis Guzman,

who is a great actor, but he's not this debonair, sexy guy. And it really bothers me. Why did you do that? Raul Julia, who was like the original one, he passed away like right after the movie came out, you know? And that's why Angela Houston, I guess they approached her to be in Wednesday and she said she wouldn't because she says she won't do it without her Gomez, which I totally get. It's the only thing that really upsets me about that show because I really like it. Okay.

But as in Adams, Gomez is handsome. He's a lady killer. He's not a fat, short guy. Oh, my God. Okay. I said what I said, and I'm saying saying with my chest okay all right yeah you got anything else um i have a book oh please do tell because i it's taken me a long time to get through fourth wing second book oh really yeah just long you're not loving i love it it's just long

oh this book is called tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. Oh, yeah, yeah. Have you heard of it? We talked about this. Because my friend Kirsten had read it. Yeah, and it's on my list. It's really good. The thing is, like, I'm maybe like a third of the way through it. I really like it, and it's really good. If I sat here and told you what it was about,

it doesn't really sound like anything amazing. Yeah. But it's about these two kids who meet in a hospital. One of them's, like, a patient in the hospital, and the other one's sister's a patient in the hospital and they meet. Basically, long story short, is they create a video game. Yeah. I guess like the plot really is just like their stories and like you follow them from like when they were super young and met in that hospital right through college and whatnot. through college and whatnot the boy um is like a super nerdy like doesn't really have friends he hurts his foot and like can't really walk properly like even as an adult and i think when he meets the girl he thinks that she's super popular because and she's very pretty you know what i mean but like really she also is just a nerd and doesn't really have friends and so it's really just the dynamic of their relationship and them creating

this video game together i'm not giving doing it justice because it doesn't really sound like much but the book's really really good okay i think you should read it i'm going to it's next to my list actually yeah i do think you'll like it yeah you and i have both disagreed at this ad nauseum about austin butler and his voice oh and then you said something that like Tish was like, I remember when he was on Hannah Montana. Tish said on Hannah Montana that he did not have the accent. She said that his voice was like it is now. Like he didn't change it for Elvis.

Oh yeah, I guess, yeah. She was saying that he's always sounded that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, I met the guy. He did not sound like that when I met him. I found a video. Do you feel like he just went through puberty and like i met him when he was like 25 okay like you got to be kidding if he

went through puberty occam's razor what's more realistic that a man in his mid-20s, voice naturally changed. Or when he went to play Elvis, changed his voice to sound like Elvis, and then never dropped it. I mean, I feel like the second one. Have you seen Dune? No, have you? No, I didn't ever watch the first one. Did you? I watched the first one.

It's beautiful. It's just long. Is it good? Yeah, it's okay. That's kind of, I feel like, I don't ever watch the first one. Did you? I watched the first one. It's beautiful. It's just long. Is it good? It's okay. I don't know why. I think I turned it on one day, the first one, and just wasn't invested. Yeah. But the freaking Gen Zers,

they fucking love it. It's crazy. I just kind of want to watch Dune 2 just to see what he sounds like. Yeah. Okay. Well, anyways, here's proof. Okay. That Austin Butler changed his voice and it's weird. It's not.

It's very weird. It's okay. We can, we can. Poor Austin. Of all the people in the world, Austin Butler is the least person who needs sympathy. Okay. People just need to like like, chill, though,

on this harassment over his voice. Dude, just talk with your normal voice, guy. He spent so long being so dedicated to the Elvis role, I'm sure it's not easy. Brandy. And he fucking crushed Elvis, so I say it was worth it. Did he get an Oscar for it? No, I don't think so.

Brandy, he's an actor. I know. Your sister't think so. Brandy, he's an actor. I know. Your sister's an actress. Yeah. She doesn't keep using the same voice that she does for a role. But she's never had to do a very specific voice like that either. Okay, I'm not going to win this argument with you. I think it's weird.

And here's proof that he definitely didn't use to sound like this i i literally heard the day that everybody else heard because i got a text about a minute after i got a call from my agent it's not just one voice about this his voice changed so much i love him when you live with something for two years and you do nothing else i think you can when you live with something for two years and you do nothing else, I think you can. When you live with something for two years, it's hard to change. I'm team Austin. I still love him. I love actor Austin, okay?

That's fine. I haven't seen him since Zoey 101, but I love the actor Austin. All right. We do have some calls. Oh, we all love some calls. I know. I actually listen to some of these. They're pretty great. This one's entitled Do Better, Brandy, which I love the actor, Austin. All right. We do have some calls. Oh, we all love some calls. I know. I actually listen to some of these. They're pretty great.

This one's entitled Do Better, Brandy, which I love that. It's not going to happen. I love that. Hey, guys. I mean, love you very much, but also F you very much for not reading DMs. I mean, I know you're big time now, but don't forget the little no blue check nobodies that got you going. What? What did she completely mean?

Okay. Huh. just want to like you know go single and f off guys go for it but it seems like you kind of want a relationship you should stop manifesting that guys are garbage just saying just looking out for my girl that's all she's got a point there i mean i guess i wouldn't call it manifesting i'm just like calling it how like i see it really and to be honest my life is better when i'm single than it ever has been in a relationship if i'm truly honest so if this is my fate then so be it because life's pretty fucking great right now i can't i gotta say except flying back from the cabin for the flight to the caimans okay but like big picture here life's pretty fucking good they are garbage love is blind is a prime fucking example um trash clay oh you know you got therapized right there and you didn't want to accept it

you know no you didn't want to and i agree with her i i think that like like energy attracts like energy and if you're always seeing that you're only seeing fucking garbage men, then you're only seeing garbage men. Or are there only garbage men? No, I'm here. Look at me. Available. Surely. Pretty sure all that's left is the trash.

Doesn't Nevada just sound kind of nice, like somewhere exotic? Nevada. Nevada. Nevada. Nevada. Nevada. You know, every couple years they come out with some new drug and you're like, I feel like this is going to be bad for people.

Like a party drug? No, just like... Or like an Ozempic. That's not what we get to. Is this where you're going? Yeah, just listen to the story. Just let me get it out and then you'll know where I'm going with it. But I'm already there.

But Ozempic. Everyone's doing it. And right? Well, I don't know. Anyways, but it was Zempic. Everyone's doing it.

And I'm like, I don't know. Everyone. I'm not sure about this. And have you heard the new thing that all these people who couldn't get pregnant are now getting pregnant and they think it's because of Ozempic? We have to cut this, but one of my best friends got pregnant and was taken,

but was taken Ozempic. I'm telling you, man, why don't we cut it? You didn't say the person's name. I guess not. my best friends yeah got pregnant and was taking but was taking ozempic i'm telling you man why don't you cut it you didn't say the person's name i guess not i want to keep okay but is this is this a bad thing i don't i don't know i just saw that and i was like that's bonkers there are so many people taking ozempic it's crazy just drugs like lowering your a1C3 or whatever the thing it was supposed to do. And then it makes you skinny. And now it's getting people knocked up.

Well, what's interesting is people are taking it to get skinny and then they get pregnant and then they get fat. Exactly. So it was all for nothing. Yeah, exactly. I thought you were going to tell me about a new recreational drug. No. I don't really like drugs. No judgment.

I don't know. You got any new drugs? No. I'll tell you what drug I wish they'd make. I wish they'd make a drug that made you feel a little bit drunk, but then you didn't be hung over the next day. That would be genius.

That would be nice. Make that one, guys. Just like a little pill. Or just a pill that takes away your hangover. That would be genius. That would be nice. Make that one, guys. Just like a little pill.
