glorious sounds of New York City bustling below me. Sounds of horns and ambulances and the clip-clop of horses in Central Park. We gotta get rid of the horses in Central Park, guys. They don't look like they're happy. They don't want to be here. But then also, the guys that have like little rickshaw bicycles where they take you around Central Park. I don't want that either. Also, hey, can you not be blaring, journey, don't stop believing through your Bluetooth speaker that's zip tied to the back of your bike? Because guess what? That's not the soundtrack of my Central

Park. Just walk around the park. It's not that big. You don't need to be, you don't need to be carted around. I did see a wedding that big. You don't need to be, you don't need to be carted around. I did see a wedding that was happening in Central Park a couple days ago and everyone was on the horses going to like where the pictures were in Central Park and I was like oh that's kind of cute. I think the horse thing can only be can only be utilized for really romantic things, okay? If you're just a tourist with your family from Denmark, no. You can't use the horses, okay? It's only for trying to get laid. That's it. That's the only time you can use the horse in Central Park. I will

say though, the city is beautiful right now. And my allergies are just getting absolutely demolished. The trees are just jizzing all over the city and I run in the park and it's just nasal stoppage. It's nothing but nasal stoppage. Why does tree jizz make me stuffed up? These are the questions that we may never get answers to. Anyways, while I have tears, let's see. It was announced that we're going back to paradise. Actually, the day this comes out will be the day that I fly to Costa Rica to go film season 10 of Bachelor in Paradise, which I think is going to be completely different than what we've done before. I mean, I still think it'll be a bunch of attractive memos.

That's a male bimbo dating other beautiful people, beautiful persons. Will there be some some goldens? Yeah. How's that gonna work? Don't know. Will I be serving them drinks? Yes, I will be. I'll be making them mylanta cocktails. Pepto-bismol shooters. Who knows? But we'll see. But what else is happening? You know we never really talked about the chicks that went up to space. First of all, they didn't really go to space. Second of all, a lot of bad press. I feel bad because if I was offered went up to space. First of all, they didn't really go to space. Second of all, a lot of bad press. I feel bad because if I was offered to go to space, I would say yes.

And you know what? The bad press might be worth it. Getting to go to space? Get a couple months of bad press because you went up in space, but you get to go to space? How many people say they can get to go to space? Less than a thousand, I would assume. It's a club that no one's in. I think that their problem was is that they decided to take women that people don't really like that much.

If you threw Margot Robbie in there, if you threw Margot Robbie in, say, I don't know, Aubrey Plaza, you know, Katherine Hawn, if you threw those women up in that capsule and shut up to space, everyone would love it, all right? Instead, you decided to throw freakin' Blake Lively in there and shoot her up. No, that's not true. But you know what Katy Perry is probably the least likable of all the

pop stars. I should ask Brandi what Miley thinks of this, you know, I bet Taylor Swift is loving every every second of it because famously, Katy Perry stole Taylor Swift's backup dancers and it broke their relationship. The fact that I'm a 40 year old man that knows that little tidbit of information is depressing. But here we are. And it is what it is. So yeah, so I'm gonna be doing the next couple episodes from Costa Rica. Hopefully I don't know. I don't even know

how good the internet's gonna be if we'll be able to do it. So yeah, anyways, keep it locked right here on the YFT because I'll be telling all the secrets before it airs. No, I won't. I won't, because I'm contractually obligated not to say anything, and if I do, I will breach said contract and be sued. And I don't get paid enough to be sued. Should we do it? Should we call the Brandi? Yeah, let's do it. Bing bong boom, dillililililabing dang boom.

I don't have the button, the sounder with me right now, so I can't do that thing. Let's call it the Branditha. Ditha, the big D. That's her new nickname, the big D. Cute hat. Thanks. It says, Ohoopie Match Club.

Oh, what does that mean? It's a golf course I played in Georgia. It's very cool. Of course, of course it is. Do you like it forwards or backwards? I think backwards. Yeah. Backwards is better, yeah.

Definitely like more. You know, I live. You have a vibe. I have a tough life. Tell me about it, because I can't wait to tell you about my weekend. I'm just, I have a very small head and hats do not fit me. All right.

You know what's funny? I also have a small head and hats don't fit me either. I can't wear hats. And when I play, I play a lot of golf and people are always like, how are you not wearing a hat? And I'm like, because it doesn't look good on me. Yeah, me neither. So I'm just a non-hat guy. I have figured out that, I mean my head is small, like a round, I wear a kid-size riding helmet and stuff. But my problem with hats is the height of my head.

Same, same. It sits over top of my ears hats too. Bends my ears down. A mine just goes completely over my ears, like a hat. So if I don't want it to do that, I have to sit it up on top of my head and that looks silly. Same, like I love a hat look, but it doesn't, they do not fit me right.

It's so devastating. Can't wear a flat bill, no way. I'd love to, I'm from California. I'm from Northern California. That's like part of the uniform. Can't do it. Gotta wear a fitted tiny child's hat. Yeah. Wow. This is like, you know, it's too tight up the top, you know? So anyways, well hi by the way. Hello hi I just woke up to be honest. Yeah how was the coach? How was the stage? Let me just tell you get ready for a fucking complaint about our airline traveling system. Oh god here we go.

You guys, I had the worst travel day in a really wild time. Like the only other time it was worse was when I had to sleep in Chicago airport, but this was pretty fucking close and I almost had to sleep in the Denver airport. Listen, I was flying into stagecoach. First of all, let me just tell you guys, I didn't need to go to stagecoach. I chose to go to stagecoach and I love the festivals. I love being out in the desert with my friends. It's like usually just just a really lovely time.

Even though I didn't have to go this year, I was like, you know what? I'm going to go. I'm going to go in a day early. I'm going to lay by the pool. I'm going to get some sunshine and I'm going to have a fun time. Then I got asked to play a party or two and I was like, I'll be there. Sure. Why not? Thursday, go to the airport. They're on time. flights on time, everything's chill, I get on the plane, they board us. They sit us on the fucking runway in Nashville for one hour because people needed to check their bags. I'm sorry, don't the flight attendants, don't the gate agents know how many bags can fit on the plane? Why aren't we taking bags before people get on? Why are we doing this? Why are we delaying the flight one hour because people need to check their bags? I don't understand that

logic. Hour late, already gonna be tight to make my connection in Denver. I'm flying straight to Palm Springs, no non-stop. Already gonna be tight. I'm already panicked. We start descending in Denver. We're going down and all of a sudden we're going back up and I was like what the fuck? What the actual fuck? And they come on and they're like so there's some weather in Denver and we're gonna need to reroute y'all to Montrose. Where the fuck is Montrose? Let's tell you, right? I'm like, oh God, this isn't good. This is not good. First of all, we're definitely not making the connection to Palm Springs. And I just had a bad, bad feeling. To make

a long story short, they land us in Montrose, will not let us off the plane. And everyone around me is like, they can't do that anymore. There's new rules where they're not allowed to keep you trapped on the plane. Oh, they do, and they can, and they will. Trapped on the plane, I had not had any food at all because I planned on eating in Denver. So no food, they only offered us one cup of water and the four and a half hours we were on the ground

in Montrose, four and a half hours, one cup of water. And if that's not bad enough, an hour into the four and a half hours, one cup of water. And if that's not bad enough, an hour into the four and a half hours, they were like, hey guys, so unfortunately our bathrooms, our tanks are filling up and we aren't allowed to empty our bathroom tanks here. So unless it's an absolute emergency, please don't use the bathroom.

No shitting. No shitting, no pissing. No shit? No nothing. They were like, and if you absolutely have to go number one, just please don't flush. Are they for real? Let us off the fucking plane.

What is this, a Southwest? Southwest. Told ya. Southwest. Terrible. Four and a half hours. Four and a half hours. So we finally get up in the air,

and I just am like a shell of a human. My back hurts, I haven't eaten, I'm on my period. I'm bleeding from my vagina. I can't use the bathroom. Horrible. Horrible. They get us to Denver at like 8 30 PM. Oh, and of course, like, you know, you know me, I'm like so proactive. I'm on the phone with Southwest the minute we touched down in Montrose. I'm like, hi, hello. There's this flight to Burbank. I'd like to take. I'm sorry. I can't help you until you get to Denver. I'm like, what do you mean? Can't you just put me on the Burbank flight? Nope, sorry. I can't reroute your bag and you can't do anything until you are on the ground in Denver. Why'd you want to go to Burbank? I thought you wanted to go to Palm Springs.

I did, but there was no other flight to Palm Springs that night. So I would have had to sleep in the Denver airport and take the Palm Springs flight the next day at 4 PM. No, thank you. So I landed in Denver at 830 and had to deal with this flight change before I could get food or anything. Sprint to the Burbank gate because the gate I was at was so backed up with people trying to rebook their flights. Sprint to the Burbank gate and at first she wasn't even gonna give me a seat and I just like lost my shit. I was like I have been on an airplane for like 10 fucking hours. It was supposed to be a

two-hour flight to this frickin city and I've been on an airplane for like 10 fucking hours. It was supposed to be a two hour flight to this fricking city. And I've been on the plane for 10 hours. I was like, I have to go to Burbank tonight. I was like, I'm A-list preferred on this airline. I can see that there are seats available and you need to give me a confirmed seat. And she fucking did. She was like, well, that flight's delayed until 12, 10 AM. And I was like, all right, well, I guess I'm going to sit here until 12, 10 AM then.

So I go get food, go have a freaking Shake Shack burger. They did it wrong, by the way. They put fucking tomatoes on it when I asked for no tomatoes. So just, you know, keep keeping up with the bad day theme. Eat something, go to my gate, sit for another three hours in Denver airport, finally get on a plane to Burbank, land in Burbank at 2 10 in the morning. I had to wait for my bag, had to take an Uber because my mom was asleep, didn't get to her house until three in the morning and then I had to wait for my bag, had to take an Uber because my mom was asleep, didn't get to her house until three in the morning. And then I had to wake up the next day and drive to Palm Springs in traffic on Friday.

Gross. Pulled up literally an hour before I had to be at my set. Had zero time to enjoy anything over the weekend. Like played that show, went to sleep, didn't sleep at all because the house I stayed in, people were slamming doors at all hours of the night and morning. Woke up the next day, had to go do my other set,

and at that point I was just like, I'm fucking fried. So we just went back to the house, got, took a shower, packed my shit, and took the first fucking flight out yesterday. Yeah. Disastrous. I mean, that's kind of traveling though. You just kind of traveled.

Here's what's crazy. What it is. It didn't used to be like this. Yeah, it did. No, it was never this bad No, you your patience for it. I don't think gotten shorter. I don't think so I think flights are more expensive. I think the service is worse. I think the conditions are worse planes keep getting smaller I think people are lazy There's more plane crashes now than ever before. And people don't give a fuck. And it's like, once you're on the plane,

it's like, here's the problem with the airlines. They know we, like, we're so dependent on air travel that they can do whatever the fuck they want and we're still gonna travel because we have to. Totally. It's terrible. We should have my brother on. My brother is like a crazy good traveler

and he used to do a thing called mileage runs where to keep status, he would just like fly to Tokyo and like have lunch then come back to like, have as much like miles as possible to stay like executive platinum or whatever. He doesn't do it anymore because it's so ridiculous to become the top tier traveler nowadays. But he has like a set of rules that he lives by when it comes to travel. He knows exactly what type of planes he likes. He knows exactly what the seats are like on said planes. And he also will only travel at least he'll try to always be the first flight out.

Because if you're the first flight out, that means the plane had to come in the night before and is staying there. So right most likely will be on time to go. And it hasn't had a chance to get stuck in Utah before coming over to Burbank or whatever it is. Yeah, and it does suck to have to get to the airport that early. But I do find that if I'm traveling with him, we are never delayed because he uses this practice. Yeah, I do agree that earlier you can fly the better because the longer the day goes on, the more fucking errors are gonna

get more delays are gonna get more delays are gonna happen. Yeah, but the problem I mean, the problem is like, I just don't always have the luxury of picking to picking my planes and my flights and like whatever sometimes I just have to get where I'm going, you know, like Palm Springs was there was just no options. It was like, you go through Denver, you go through Dallas and neither one are good, you know.

Also, it was fucking freezing this year. Was there anything good about it? I mean, my set was Liddy on what night was that? Friday night, I think. Did any did any bachelor nation people come to your set? Oh there were bachelor people all over the place I know I'm looking you know I'm having to follow all these people now because I gotta go fucking ten bar for him Oh, they were everywhere And I'm just like Jesus Christ if it isn't a storyline this song this Season of their night that like everyone was fucking everyone in stagecoach. I will be aghast Yeah, I think they like they all had a house right like I saw that like Jason Kelly yeah they were all at a house together so I'm sure some shenanigans

went down there. By the way, hold on is Tardik dating Kelly? Oh I have no idea but you know what it wouldn't surprise me. I love Tardik and I love Caitlin like I I don't pick sides in this. Well I love Kelly so. I don't even know Kelly but she seems like a lovely person I don't know. Tardik loves to post the thirst traps and he posted one where he was like, what hat should I choose? And it's like him with like a different cowboy hat, but it's just him with his shirt off

and his abs are just out. So I commented, I don't think this post is about hats. He responded with, I miss you buddy, like let's play golf soon or something like that. And I wrote, there are golf courses in Costa Rica. I think a lot of people were like, he's not going, like he's dating somebody, he's with somebody. I don't know, I don't have any information.

I don't either, but now that you say it, I have seen them together a lot lately. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. A lot. Yeah, I know. So, you know, it could be. It could be true. It could be, anyways. I hope that- You know who else is dating that I just found out about?

Who's that? Pilot Rachel. And Blake, Katie's ex. Oh really? Moyence? Yes. I like Blake. I've never met him. I haven't met either one of them actually. There was rumblings that they were gonna make him

the bachelor. I mean, he's very handsome. Yeah, but he's also like, he's been on too many of the shows, right? I agree. I agree. He was on T Yeah, but he's also like, he's been on too many of the shows, right? I agree, I agree. He was on Tasha, then he was on Katie, then he was on Paradise, that's a lot. Yeah, he's been, it's too much screen time for him.

Well, it seems like they're happy, I mean, who knows really, but she picks on Insta. I love her, I felt really bad about her. I felt like she got a bad deal in Paradise a couple seasons ago. Yeah, me too. So yeah, so they finally announced so what's happening in paradise. So I can say I can I can say I'm to go back. So it's gonna be old people too. So

that's so weird. I'm kind of excited for a change of location. I wonder if Bats are nation is going to be very people don't like change. I know, but I do. And I think like seeing somewhere different could be cool. I agree. I think also they're going to make some big changes. Big swings are going to be taken in for paradise. It won't be just similar previous seasons. And in doing that, I think you probably do need a new location. So I've seen what my bar looks like. It's gonna be fun. I don't think I can say what's happening, but I think people are going to enjoy.

It's gonna be much different than it has been in the past. And Hannah Brown's coming. And she's gonna be giving out champagne at rose ceremonies, I guess. So anyway, so I'm really excited to really not be on this television show now. I mean, if I was really excited to really not be on this television show now. I Mean if I was cut out of the show before yeah, you're really getting cut out God only

That's good, I mean let's be honest. What does bachelor nation want to see my fucking ugly mug or Hannah Brown? I get it like I understand ugly mug or Hannah Brown. I get it. Like I understand. Jesse and I are fucked. All right. Yeah, literally. That's too good. So, yeah, actually, as this comes out, I will be flying to Costa Rica. OK, yeah, God willing that we've got good internet there. Or the show's going to go on hiatus for a little bit. Oh, God, we can't have that. I know. Surely we'll at least be able to do audio.

I don't know. I mean, they have to have internet in Costa Rica Yeah, they got they've got internet. All right. You want to start? Yeah, we should start the show. Are you I think it's you Bros and hoes you're listing your favorite thing podcast with well then brandy Brandy you know what happened to me over the weekend what we're We're not calling it that. The Big D? No. That's your new name. That's what my mother, for my entire life, has called diarrhea. Not divorce?

No, it's diarrhea. Going through the Big D, I don't mean dialyous. Okay, hold on, hold on. Speaking of divorce and your mother. Oh, I mean, I have nothing. I have no intel, I have no nothing. Shut up! I don't! Liz, your dad's dating Liz Hurley?

I mean, I found out on Enew's Instagram account the same day y'all did. Fucking blood, dude. I gotta say, both your parents have really... They were a good match, but they found people who were even better than their previous match. What do you mean? Well, Dom is very handsome. He is. And ripped and cool and on a cool TV show.

Uh-huh. Liz Hurley is Liz Hurley. She, you know, so I feel like they both have leveled up. No, there's no leveling above tish. That's true, but I mean, Liz Hurley's like a close, is close. I'm not saying she's not hot. I'm just saying there is no level above tish. I'm just saying if they had a divorce, you know

Usually someone is like with like the ugly one. Okay, so you don't know anything about this nothing I don't want to know I don't need to know You know what motto I like to live by what you do you and I'll do me and we can everyone can just be happy Like I don't you do your thing. I'm gonna do my thing I don't need to be in your drama, like, I got my own shit, like. I just, I wanna meet Liz Hurley. I'm sure you could.

I'm gonna call up Blood next time I'm in Nashville and say, hey, Blood. Hit him up. Let's play some catch, let's play some baseball. Yeah. Anyway. It was fucking freezing in the desert this weekend. I didn't wear any of my outfits because I was so cold.

Like I wore a hoodie Friday night to my set with a jacket over, it was very cold. And even on Saturday at the festival, like it was beyond windy, it was so terrible. And everybody was freezing. It was like the theme of the weekend. And everybody last night texting me was like, Noah's fucking crushing, but she's gotta be so goddamn cold. And I don't know what she was wearing but I'm picturing something just

like she had to have been wearing nothing because everybody was like how cold is Noah right now can't wait to see do you do you have some faith things bro you know what I did do what'd you do cruised through Ransom Canyon because Matt is home and I knew that he would not allow me to watch that show once he was home because he'll hate it. So I knew I had to just like get through it before he arrived back in the United States.

It's some of the worst acting I've ever seen. Nice, nice. But that said, I loved it. You know what I mean? Okay. Specifically the guy that plays, so not Josh, Josh Demol is Chef's Kiss, so hot as a cowboy. Like where has this been our whole lives?

Like Josh was already hot, but cowboy Josh is just on another level. So if nothing else, like that's the reason to watch Ransom Canyon, he's incredible. Mink is not terrible. Listen, like it's it's she's some of the scenes are tough but like I think she's improved since Friday Night Lights with her acting which is good but the other guy like in her love triangle the guy that's her first love interest he's fucking terrible. How did he get cast is my question. I think they spent all their

money on Minka Kelly and Josh Dumal. Yeah, I guess so well He is the weak link. Oh, you know who's in it the kid from manifest Do you remember the kid that played the girl's boyfriend? He's in it and he's great. I think he's a good actor He's really good. Did you like it or did you not like it? I did I listen I loved it I lived for this shit But the acting was terrible for a lot of the smaller characters was my only complaint. But overall, if you like Virgin River,

everyone's calling this the cowboy version of Virgin River. It's cowboy Virgin River, it's good. And here's my only other complaint though. It took me all season to figure out how everyone is connected. I get it, small towns are incestuous, and for sure, that's part of the drama of the show, but they went fucking overboard.

Like every single person is somehow connected. It's wild. Obviously Minka is in this love triangle and like, so spoiler alert, if you guys haven't seen it and like you care, but to me, I don't feel like you can really spoil this show, but I'm gonna talk about it in length. So if you fast forward, if you want to.

I understood that Josh's character and the character who's a bad actor her love interest I understood they were connected and I couldn't quite figure out how until the end so it seems like Josh's character was married to the other guy's sister and she passed essentially like Minka was besties with this guy's wife that passed and now she's like stealing her man. Internet, it's a little strange. And then also you've got this other storyline

where these two kids are in a relationship and you find out at the very fucking end, spoiler alert, that the girl's mom was seeing the boy's brother and you're like, what? It's just, it's a little much. I gotta be honest with you, I stopped listening to whatever you were saying like five minutes ago.

Like that to me, like I get, that was like definitely the like twist at the end, for sure, of like the storyline for the season was like, oh my God, like it was her mom and da da da. But like, to me it was just like a little too much. Like this mom was like with this kid, and now her kid is with the brother. It was a little much for me.

But other than all the incestuous links, I thought it was like decent. Like I liked it.

What'd you see? Othello. Oh. Starring Denzel Washington. Oh. And Jake Gyllenhaal. Jake Gyllenhaal is on Broadway? With Denzel Washington.

That's so crazy. He is very talented. He is. I got to say, you know, Denzel Washington has got like two Oscars and is like, maybe in some of the biggest movies of all time. Yeah. Jake Gyllenhaal kind of out acts him. Outperforms him. I can see it.

I can see it. I mean, I think a lot of it has to do with, cause he plays Iago. Do you know the story of Othello? I think I like read it in school. We went to see it and I really enjoyed it. Like I thought it was very cool. Cool to see both of them on stage.

The ticket prices are ridiculous though, by the way. It's like 900 bucks to go to this show. Holy shit. That seems like that's a little too much. But I was talking about the themes of Shakespeare and why they still hold up is because nothing's changed. So Othello basically is about this guy Iago, who's a crazy sociopath,

who basically wants to sabotage his boss, which is Othello. It's because he's a black man, like he's a more. And so it's just blatant racism. And it's just funny because it's like, this was a theme that was relevant in Shakespeare times, I don't know, hundreds of years ago, whenever he wrote all this stuff, and it's still applicable today. The verbiage obviously has changed, but it's the same story. Or it's the same, the same shit. Nothing is changing. Like Merchant of Venice is about anti semitism. That's still a fucking thing. You know, like, nothing has

changed. Pretty crazy. We pretend like we've evolved because we have these like phones and podcasts and shit. But really, we are exactly the same place we were hundreds of years ago and as the people we need to do better that's my thought you're right but anyways it's really great if you get a chance to go see it go see it okay dude got a new book oh and I will say this if you look at all the my suggestions for books in the past like five years you would say I think this person's a 12 year old girl. For sure. You would not be wrong. All right. fourth wing and all this shit,

you know. But there is a new Hunger Games book out and I am reading it. Yes. Is it a prequel or no? Yes. It's called sunrise on the reaping. It's all about Hey Mitch Abernathy. So Hey Mitch was Woody Harrelson, Woody Harrelson's character. And it's about his Hunger Games. And it's very good. It's so good. You're so funny. I love it. I am like, I don't know, like, probably a third of the way in. I'm just like, fuck yes, dude. You know, the

characters, you know, President. You know all the characters. President Snow's still a motherfucker. Blue Tark is in it, you know? And I saw the... So anyways, the 12 year old girl in me, ding, ding, ding, go read Sunrise of the Reaping. Yeah. So is this like number one in the prequels

or is this number two? Because they did the prequel movie. Yeah, so the prequel movie's about President Snow as a kid. Okay, and that was not a book? I think it was. Okay. Well, I think I read that one too. So that's first and then this one,

and then it'll be The Hunger Games. I see. They need to do what happens next, you know? Yeah. Like, once they did win the rebellion. Yeah? Yeah, anyways, love Hunger Games It's also like such a ridiculous premise, but I mean do it is it I feel like it's kind of realistic

I don't they're making kids murder each other on TV anytime soon. I feel like we're not far from that Can we times? Yeah, can we talk a little bit about this blue origin? Space show that went to space with a bunch of women and everyone hated it. Did it go? Can we talk a little bit about this Blue Origin space ship that went to space with a bunch of women and everyone hated it? Did it go? It didn't even go to space. That's the thing.

I don't think it did. It didn't, it just went a little bit high. You know? Well, I didn't yet. Have you not seen all the conspiracy about the door? Yes. They definitely shot him up in a rocket. I don't know.

The door thing is sus. It's just because they wanted to have that moment of him opening the door. I guess Dude, do not flatter with me right now. Definitely not flatter. Thank you I'm just saying the door thing was sus Can you imagine if it wasn't real and Katy Perry's still getting this type of hate and gale King's getting this type of hate I would be like I need to fucking go and Gale King's getting this type of hate, I would be like, I need to fucking go. But I was telling the wife years before this,

I think that the problem is, is that they just chose a bunch of people that no one likes. If they put in some women that people loved. Do people not like Katy Perry for some reason? No, no. And you know why? Why?

Because she stole Taylor Swift's background dancers one time, and now everyone's very upset about that. I like Katy Perry. I don't really care. But I know that the world is not happy with her. Yeah, it's not. And also the two other girls. I don't know who you are. Yeah, I do. Why are you getting to go?

I don't know. One is like Jeff Bezos' wife, I think, or whatever. Oh, yes, yes. But also to all you guys out there saying, and talking trash about these women going into kind of space. If you were offered this, you'd fucking do it too. I would absolutely do it 100% or you want a bad press for a couple months, but you get to go to space. I would totally do it. You know, I've always said I want to go to space. I

know. But I don't want to go to kind of space. I want to go to space space. You know, I've always said I want to go to space. I know, but I don't want to go to kind of space. I want to go to space space. You know, I think as long as I get to see the earth from above, I'm good. To prove to yourself that it is in fact flat. No, I know it's not flat. I just, I would love to see it. I would love to see that vantage point for myself.

I think that would be sick as hell. Yeah, anyways, I think it's just funny that even women were like, no, not into it, you know? Yeah. I think it's a little bit of jealousy. It's like one of those things where it's like, what's everyone's complaint that money would have been better spent somewhere else? Yeah, but who cares? We could say that about a million things, you know? Totally. I want to go to space. That's what I'm saying. I do too. Shadoor Sanders took forever to get drafted. Not sure if you care about that. But that is I don't know what you're talking about.

He is Deion Sanders son. He played for Colorado. What sport football? Ah, everyone thought he was like one of the first quarterbacks taken in the draft. And he fell like to the fourth round. Yeah, I don't know what it is. It might be that he's not that good of a quarterback. I'm not sure though. I'm not a scout. But also, Deion Sanders is so loud. And I imagine a coach being like, I don't want to deal with like this crazy. Like, you like you know, the parents who are like way loud at like, T

ball games, yelling at the ref, you like that's Deion Sanders on a next level. I don't know what you're talking about to be honest. Yeah, all right, well that's fine. Go sports, woo hoo! You know I watched it tonight. What'd you watch? Star Trek, like the one with Chris Pine. Great film.

I watched all three of them. Yeah. Can we bring that back? I would love that. Those were great films. They were very good. I loved them. But Chris Pine, can we get you back? I would love that. Those were great films. They were very good. I loved them. Mm-hmm.

But Chris Pine, can we get you back? Chris Pine's hot. He's my favorite of the Chris's. Is he? Really? Sorry, Evans. Sorry, Pratt. I like Chris Pratt a lot.

I think that Chris Pine is the most talented. Ah, wow. I do, I do, I do. Okay, hot take. There's a messed up documentary called the, on Netflix called Oklahoma City Bombing, American Terror. Oh's a messed up documentary on Netflix called Oklahoma City Bombing, American Terror. I did see that, how was it?

It's pretty fucked up. Yeah, you love a fucked up doc. I mean, I'm a learned student of the world and I wanna know and yeah, Timothy McVeigh, is that who it was? That guy's a piece of shit and took a bitch basically. It was, it came down to him being bullied in the army. And that's what it was.

And it's like, dude, you killed so many people and so many kids, because there was a daycare center there. So sad. All because you got made fun of. Dude, you're a bitch. Yeah. It's not good. Anyways, they killed him. What I didn't know about it, though, is he had accomplices. like made fun of like dude you're a bitch. Yeah. Bitch. It's not good.

Anyways, they killed him. What I didn't know about it though is he had like accomplices, like there were other people involved. I didn't know that part. But yeah, if you wanna, you know, kind of ruin your day. Yeah.

Oklahoma City bopping, the American terror. I just can't watch stuff like that before bed. Yeah. Dude, have I talked to you about going to Scotland? I think you told us you were going, but I don't think you gave us a recap. Dude, give me a ding. Ding.

I love Scotland. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I love. What's funny is I was in Scotland about the same amount of time that I was in Scotland for traders, which is about four days. Ah. Well, but this time you were golfing, which?

At St. Andrews, the old course. Is your favorite activity of all time. With Chris Harrison and Andrew Firestone. But let me just tell you something. Okay. St. Andrews, where the golf course is, or where all the golf courses are, the home of golf, is the coolest little fucking town

I've ever been to in my entire life. Really? Dude, it's seven million years old. It's all castles and brick buildings and like little pubs and like cool golf shops. And then a college, St. Andrews University is there. So it's golf nuts in every pub and then like 20 something year olds getting wasted.

It's so vibrant and fun and cool. It stays, it light until like an 11 o'clock at night. So people are playing golf until like nine 30. It stays, it lightened until like, an 11 o'clock at night. So people were playing golf until like 9.30. It's amazing. Wow. Yeah, so some of my favorite things about Sanie and Drew's, the old course. I broke 80, which is a big deal.

Oh, don't know what that means. Sounds sickening though. Yeah, it's not easy to do. I'm pretty good. There's a bar called the Dunvarden. The Dunvarden, I loved. Have like, they have like this soup there that's like similar to clam chowder but like made with smoked fish. Amazing. Get that.

There's a bar called the one below. I like that place. The jigger in was fun to go to. It's an old bar, old pub, tenant beer. Fantastic. Never had that and I drank a bunch of it. Scottish whiskey. Fantastic. What we get over here is not what they have over there. No, it's not. I was drinking Scotch whiskey the entire time, it was delicious. Yum.

So anyways, I am so excited that my wife is half Scottish. Because? Our kids are gonna have a little bit of that and that makes me feel very happy. That's cute. Yep. When do you think you're gonna have kids? I don't know.

Cause you're kind of getting up there, you know? I feel like you could be dying pretty soon if you're gonna do it. My brother had his first kid at 51. Holy shit, that's crazy. Yeah, so. Wow. I don't know.

I would say the next five years. Okay, interesting. I mean, let's be honest, I'm gonna have to be Mr. Mom. Yeah, totally. Because Sarah can't stop working. No, absolutely not. The talented one has to keep being talented. Yeah, the paper said kid, you know?

Yeah, I'm gonna be Mr. Mom. I'm excited about that. I'm just saying, you should probably do this before your back goes out. Nobody wants to be toting around a child with a thrown out back. Brandy, my back went out years ago. Oh, well then you really better speed up the timeline.

Look at these crow's feet, you know? I started watching, dude, Paramount Plus is putting out some stuff. Are they? Yes. What do they got? There's another show called The Agency. Have you seen that?

I don't think so. The cast is crazy, follows a world of even deeper intrigue and subterfuge with characters fighting their own battles as they grapple with existential threats to the nation and the world. Central Intelligence, the agency starring Michael Fassbender and Richard Gere. Ah, I think I have seen the preview for this. Is it good? Yeah, it's good. I'm telling you what, man.

They've got Mobland, they've got the Agency, they've got all the Taylor Sheridan things. Paramount Plus is putting out some stuff. They are. Are you caught up in The Last of Us? No. Do you need to talk about it? Because I'm going to need to remove my earbuds if you are. Yeah. Okay, just wave me down when you're done

Okay, how do you kill? How do you kill your most popular? fucking star of the show Okay, how do you kill Joel you can't kill Joel all right? He's the most important thing. We're all watching it for Joel We're not watching it for the girl. No! Oh, I thought he was gonna survive too, kind of there at the end, and then no, that girl killed him. Anyways, you know, it's like as if Game of Thrones killed Jon Snow off in the second season. What are you doing? You can't bring it back to life!

So, that was dumb. Anyways, I saw it coming though because social media ruined it for me. That's all I got on it. Okay, you can come back. That was a very passionate rant. Well, I'm passionate about it. I need you to catch up, dude.

I know, I know, I know. I was hoping, I don't think Matt ever watched season one, but I was hoping like he'd watch it with me. Okay, I know, I know I'm way behind on this, okay? But I did finish Iron Flame, so book two. Guys, I'm not buying Zayden turning Venin. Like I'm not buying that storyline. Zayden's not that dumb, you know what I mean?

Yeah. Like Zayden would have known he was walking into that trap. You know, I just, I didn't love it. I don't love that twist. Like, I get it, it's the twist we needed for the end of book two, and it sets up the whole premise for book three, but like, I just don't think Zayden's that stupid.

Zayden Ryerson. Keep reading, sister. Ugh. There's another book out. Yeah, I know, I just bought it. It's already at my house, so we'll be starting that tonight. Yeah, I didn't love the end. I didn't love that twist.

Too predictable and also just like, he's not that stupid, so I don't buy it. That's my line complaint. The rest of it is great. Taryn's the best character in that book, the fucking big dragon. Of course. Yeah, her little golden dragon

kind of annoys me a little bit. I mean, she's supposed to, right? She's like a teenager in this book. Yeah, totally. She's got a cool power though. Being able to slow down time, that's pretty dope. Well, yeah. Yeah. I really like Rhiannon. I like her bestie. I like her character a lot. Yeah.

Lightning wielder! Oh, God. That's what Taron says. I will be so curious to see how they do this movie. It's gonna be like Game of Thrones. I hope it is because there's a lot of ways you could do it wrong. You know what I mean? It's gonna take a lot of money and a big production to do it right. Anyway, I'm excited to see it. Yeah. By the way, they already cast for this new Hunger Games. They did. Yeah, who's in it? I don't know They're all like young people. I've never heard of you know There's this new show on Amazon Prime with Jacob Elordi Uh-huh, just cuz I like him a lot. I was like, oh I'm excited about this show

But then I watched the trailer and I was like, oh, I'm not sure I am. The Narrow Road to the Deep North. Yep. I hate the title. Yeah, it's not a good title. Oh, it's a period piece. It is. Burma Railway in 1943 and across the Pacific during World War Two charts the cruelty of war, tenaciousness of life and the impossibility of love as seen through the eyes of an Australian doctor and a prisoner of war The narrow road to the deep north on so it sounds it sounds great does sound good

You know, but then I watched the trailer and I was like, I don't know Yeah, I don't know but maybe um, if you could take a stab at that this week and let me know how it is Oh, yeah, I'll do it. I don't know if Matt will let me watch it, but I'll try. I think so, it's about an Australian. It is, but he is really picky about war stuff. I don't know, I guess because he was in the military, it's like if anything's not super correct, it bothers him.

He was in the military? Uh-huh. Do you have to be in the military in Australia? Is it like Korea? I don't think so. Oh, was he ever in war? No. That's good.

Yeah. That's good news. Um, saw some things that I don't think are good. Oh. Den of Thieves, one and two, those are bad movies. I don't know. That's actually it. That's it?

That and Landman, those are two things that I was like, these aren't, this is not. I can't believe you didn't like Landman, I think you should stick with it. I don't like the writing. Just try. I don't like the dialogue. Fine. By the way, Spotify like flagged us for using music in our show.

They did? Oh no. I'm fighting it, being like, no dude. One, we're only playing 30 seconds of it, which I thought that we were allowed to do that. And also, it's technically a review which you can do that because we're reviewing. We saying we like it.

But so anyways, I so now I'm not sure if we should not close with music anymore. I hate to say it, but this was bound to catch up with us eventually. I know we knew we knew this was coming. We really did. For years we've known this was coming. Yeah. Yikes. Damn, that's a bummer.

Yeah. So I think the way we should go out is that I'll just sing a song. Oh, okay. That's only gonna work for one week probably, but yeah. In the arms of an angel. You don't even know the words I don't know the words what's the song that I know all the words to hey now You're a rock star get your game on. That's you. It's here at all star. Oh, yeah

You got it wrong on the fourth word How does the fresh Prince of Bel Air song go? Oh, I don't know. Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down, so I'd like to take a minute to just sit right there. I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air.

Ready, what's going on with you? This isn't great, but I'll go with it. I'm in a wedding this weekend. My best friend's getting married. So that's exciting. Yeah. Here in Nashville. My mom's coming in town.

She gets in Wednesday. So I'll just be doing that. Oh, also, speaking of my mother, we are doing our very first live show at The One Hotel this Thursday, May 1st. We're so excited. I think there's a lot of crossover listeners. So if you're listening to this and you're coming

Rusty Dick? Good old Russell. He's gonna come out and be our special guest, which is really exciting. I haven't seen him in a hot second, so I'm excited for that. Yeah, that's what I got. And then what else is on the horizon?

Sand in My Boots Festival's kinda coming up in a couple weeks, and I'm like kinda shitting myself. I'm less than a month out from the sphere. Better get ready. I'm freaking out a little bit. What do you got? I'm going to paradise. Costa Rica. I'm going to Costa Rica. Costa Rica. I'm jealous. Sounds nice. It's gonna be fun no matter what. Keep listening to YFT for all of the behind the scenes stuff. No, I won't be spoiling anything because I'd get sued, but you'll be good. Guys, leave Wells a review on his singing, if you will. Let us know if you want to keep that up. In West Philadelphia, born and raised.

No, I won't do that anymore. Okay, good. But we gotta put a pause in the music. Ugh, tragic. Tragic, I know. All right, well. All right, guys. See you next week.

Bye. Bye. Bye. This is not as good without music. I know. This podcast has been brought to you by Podcast Nation.
