Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Not So Easy, Cheesy

Episode Date: January 8, 2025

Happy New Year, YFTers! So, 2025 is gonna be the best year ever, mmkay? We can FEEL it. Plus, resolutions just feel more attainable with a best-year-ever mindset, right? Speaking of resolutions, Wells is determined to tighten up his Sinatra-esque crooning skills this year, and Brandi wants to get in the habit of saying no to more things and protect that precious time we all need more of. The two dive into the Blake Lively/Justin Baldoni headline wondering who’s at fault, and Wells tells us about his jaunt up to Whistler, Canada where he picked up a cheesy new nickname due to his undying love of Kraft Singles. Also, the restaurant scene in nearby Vancouver, Canada gets an A++ rating, and WTF is with QR codes now to order at restaurants instead of actual table service? Lastly, Brandi has a bone to pick with the producers of the show Virgin River and their portrayal of horse care (spoiler: horses don’t usually just live in a vacant barn by themselves), and Wells talks about getting heckled during a speech he gave at his Grandma’s birthday. Fun times! Bring on 2025!

Doodaloo, doodaloo, doodaloo, doodaloo. 2025 though, am I right? What? That went way too quick. 2024, 2024 is what I mean. Seems far way too quick. What's going on, man? What's going on, dude?

What's going on? I don't understand. I'm going so fast. Oh man. Well, YFT, sorry we took the week off, but yeah, we just didn't wanna do a show, I guess, over the New Year's. We're being honest with you.

We found that you guys don't generally listen during the holidays, so it's like, oh, we'll just take it off, you know, it's fine. Hope you ever had a wonderful New Year's. I hope that you rang it in. I don't like that the day starts at midnight. Why could the day start at, the day doesn't always start at midnight.

The day starts at eight o'clock in the morning, I think. The day should start at 8 o'clock in the morning. The day shouldn't start at midnight. Because it's still nighttime. I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't like that I have to wait up until midnight every year. I have to start the new year just like, it's late, you know? You have to start the day going, oh! Start the day going, oh!

It's early or so late, or I'm drunk, or whatever. You know, I guess it would be the same thing if we started at 8 o'clock in the morning, though. Like, wake up at 7, be like, all right, we'll wait an hour until we got to get up. But then you have the entire day to be like, it's the New Year. Instead of like, you have the entire day of like, drinking, and then it's like midnight

and then you kiss and it's like whoa, I don't know. I just don't think of like the day ending at midnight and it being tomorrow even though it's still today. Do you know what I'm saying? I don't know dude. Whatever. Anywho, let's start the first episode of 2025. Should we call the brand flake?

Let's do it. It's time to call her up. You know it's time. It is time 2025. Hello, Happy New Year. Happy New Year. Happy freaking New Year. 2025 baby. This is gonna be the year for me. Yeah, yeah, we say that every year. We do say that every year. It never is. Isn't that funny? That's cute. Funny how that works. I don't love that for us. I'm on the side of TikTok where it's like figured out what my astrology sign is.

You don't know. I know, but TikTok now knows. Got it. And it's like, here are your astrology read. Here's your notorious astrology readings for 2025. Every single one's like you're going to make a ton of money. A bunch of new stuff's happening this year. And you know what?

I'm here for it, you know? I believe in all this mumbo jumbo. If it benefits me, if it's negative, I think it's mumbo jumbo. Are you back in the States or you still down under? No, I'm back. I've been back. I got back the day before New Year's Eve, played here on New Year's Eve, and then I've been back. I play, I got back the night, the day before New Year's Eve,

played here on New Year's Eve, and then I've just been a couch potato essentially ever since. Same. We have been in this weird doldrum world where, was it Christmas fell on a Wednesday and then New Year's Eve fell on a Wednesday? Yeah, like, or a Tuesday or something. Like, that's weird. So we just had like all this like nothing time. Yeah. I didn't love it. I was just talking to the YFT years. I kind just had like all this like nothing time. Yeah. I didn't love it.

I was just talking to the YFT years. I kind of, I don't like how the day has to start at midnight. I don't consider the day starting at midnight. I consider the day starting like eight in the morning. Ah, the work day. Just like the day. And what I'm trying to say is that like, I don't like on new years,

I have to wait up until midnight to celebrate the next year. You don't have to. You don't, but it's highly frowned upon by your loved ones, by your wife, if you're not there for the kiss at midnight. I see. Now we're getting somewhere. I see a lot of my friends who have kids and stuff, what they do is they'll, I see a lot of my friends who are have kids and stuff what they do is they'll

West Coast they'll turn on the East Coast feed. Oh, yeah, and they'll get a couple hours extra, you know smart I like that. I like that new year new me I I'm doing dry January thus far. We'll see how long that goes still off the carbs doing that. Oh, wow So yeah, what about you? You got any new year's resolutions? No. Although I will say last year when I, it's not like I gave up liquor, but I just said I was gonna pump the brakes on it, you know? Yeah.

And I really pumped the fucking brakes. Like I barely drank any liquor all year. Good for you. A lot of champagne, but that's not liquor. No, but it still does the same thing, which gets you drunk and hung over. I do know it doesn't, the hangovers aren't as bad for me as when I drink like tequila.

And I would just love to know the amount of shots I've turned down this year, cause it was a lot. I was very good. Yeah, good for you. So I'm just gonna like keep doing that, cause I think that's good for me. I just don't think I have really like any resolutions. You know, I do this year, I'm kind of trying to like train myself to not feel the pressure to be

like working 24 seven. Yeah, last year I like worked myself to death and I just felt like I had to say yes to absolutely everything that I possibly could. And if I wasn't working on a week, like if there was a weekend I wasn't working, I felt guilty and I made me anxious feeling like I should be working and this year I would really like to just not do that to myself and if I have a weekend off, appreciate it and and like spend it relaxing not being anxious that I'm not working and just like work on that for myself because it just becomes like toxic trait that I have, and I don't like it.

I love that for you. So, yeah. I found in business, usually when you say no, you end up getting what you want. So- I know, right? It is true. You should do that. Just be like, no, and then they'll be like,

well, but what about 10,000 more? Then you're like- Yeah. Then I'm like, okay. Okay, I will do it now. Yeah, true. Oh, I do have two, you didn't ask me so resolutions. I'm gonna try to do these two, maybe three, but two. Number one, number one, I really want to take singing lessons. Really? Yeah, I want to like, randomly get up on stage one day and everyone be like, what the fuck is happening? But I tell you what I want, I don't wanna sing like,

I don't wanna be good at everything, I only wanna be good at one type of singing. Which is? Like Frank Sinatra, that kind of like. Interesting. That, so I wanna focus on like just becoming good at that one thing. And this will be the last I talk about it.

And then all of a sudden one day, I'm like some like cruding on a piano and be like, oh, we go over there and say and then everyone's like, what the fuck is this? Like, well, that year, 2025, it was my resolution to take singing lessons and to sing like Frank Sinatra. What you think would be fun? Number two, I haven't done it in years.

I'm going back to improv class. I miss. Oh, that's great. Yeah. That one I love for you. You know, fuck you. You're supposed to be a Cyrus. You're supposed to be nurturing my musical desires in once.

See, I feel like we should all just stick to what we're good at. Okay. You know, I feel like improv could be a good investment in your future. And I love this for you. I did improv in Nashville and I loved it. Yeah, now see, this is great.

I'm not doing it to be an actor. I'm doing it because it truly is the most fun I've ever had in my entire life. Aw. And I also want to really, I think I'm gonna download Babble. We should get Babble. I gotta get my, the thing is I can understand most Spanish. I just can't, it's not even that, the thing is I can understand most Spanish. I just can't, it's not even that.

It's, I can understand most Spanish. I can speak it too. But the second someone starts talking to me in Spanish, I crumble. I crumble. I'm like, ah, I don't know. I don't understand. I'm sorry.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm so sorry. It gets a little. Hear me out. I really think the best way for anyone to learn and retain a foreign language is to use it consistently.

So I feel like you should find somebody that knows how to speak Spanish and you guys do phone calls twice a week and only speak Spanish to each other. See. That's what you need to do. Where did you come up with this little plan? Well, I was just talking to somebody about this

who was trying to learn Italian. And I was like, I really feel like to be able to retain a foreign language at this point in our lives Like you've really got to be using it all the time Or you just lose it, you know So that would be my suggestion for you if you want to take that one seriously What did you do for New Year's? You were working? I was twerking I DJ'd at the one hotel and we did our live show in Nashville in Nashville. It was litty freaking kitty Was it no one surprised? Are you surprised?

No, not at all, but I just don't that's not a huge room though. So like well, that's why I was litty though I love a small room because it was packed out, you know by the time I showed up Everybody had been drinking for two hours already. It was great It was really nice. And it was great. Like I had a hotel room that I didn't sleep in, but I used it to get ready and hang out with my friends before and after. So I got, I went there in sweat pants, which was fucking amazing. Cause there's nothing worse than wearing some skimpy dress in below freezing temperatures to get out on New Year's Eve, you know, or sweats and a big puffer coat got there, then put my dress on and never had to go outside in my skimpy dress.

Not once went upstairs, played my set, went back to my room, put my sweats back on. And by the time I took myself home at 3.30 in the morning, no dress and I was toasty warm and I really took a lot of the misery out of New Year's Eve. I love that for you. Being cold sucks. Yeah. Speaking of being cold,. Being cold sucks. Yeah. Speaking of being cold, I was in Whistler. How was it?

It's beautiful there. Gorgeous. Do you snowboard? No, I ski, but I didn't do it this year. I can embarrass, because everyone's like, yo, you went to Whistler, how was the skiing? And I'm like, I don't fucking know, I didn't do that shit. And I'll tell you why.

Tell me. I'm a firm believer in, if your parents didn't take you skiing, you're not, or snowboarding, like that's not your life. It's not your thing. I am a firm believer in if your parents didn't take you skiing, you're not or snowboarding, like that's not your life. It's not your thing. And my parents were totally against skiing just in general. Why?

Cause it's not safe or? Because one, both my parents like to be cold right off the bat. Well, yeah. Two, it's so expensive. It is. There's five of us. So that's five lift tickets. That's five ski schools. That's five of us. So that's five lift tickets.

That's five ski schools. That's five rentals. That's so much. That's five meals you gotta buy on the mountain. That's probably a million shots you have to take as a parent to be able to deal with this crap. This is true. And what's funny because we grew up having a,

we had like a condo in Sun Valley in Idaho, which is an amazing skiing place. I never skied there one time my entire life. We just went there in the summertime. That's crazy. So the only skiing I ever did was when I went with like my friends, right? And I used to go to Tahoe a lot with my buds

and I can ski. Yeah. But you are your parents' children. I gotta be honest with you, and I used to go to Tahoe Law with my buds and I can ski. But you are your parents' children. I gotta be honest with you, everything that they bitched about, I agree with, dude. It's so expensive. It is. So basically this is what skiing is, or snowboarding is.

You gotta schlep a long fucking way to get to wherever that place is, right? You then gotta get a car that fucking can get through this crap. You gotta figure out how to put on chains. Then you gotta get your Airbnb or your hotel room, which is way expensive because of course

you're not going like during the slack time. You're going during like the height of fares. Then you gotta go and you gotta pay for the lift ticket, which is crazy these days, by the way. It's hundreds of dollars just to take a gondola up the top. Then you got to buy it. You have to have all your clothes, right? You got to have the cool shit.

Then you got to get the rentals or you got to own. That's expensive. Oh, yeah. And then you're always either freezing cold because you got snow in your boots and you got snow in your neck or you're sweating your nuts off because it's your Huffing through the fucking pow pow you're never just at a chill temp Oh, and then let's not forget the part where you probably are gonna blow your knee out. Oh, definitely That's what I need. I want to ring in the new year with a broken fibula

No, thank you. So So you know what we did? We flew to fucking Canada to go to arguably the best mountain in North America to not ski. What'd you do? We've dressed well, we drank by the fireside, we went to the village, we hung out with the peeps. Okay. I tell you what we did do that I enjoyed a lot. I spent $150. Well, I spent $300 because I bought my wife one too, for a scenic lift ticket. I didn't even get to ski, but I went to the lift,

lift up to the top of the mountain to then go across the mountain to go to this restaurant that's up there. It's like they got like a fancy restaurant that's on top of the mountain, which is cool. But the food was kind of eh, you know? But you know, the vibe was good. So we went up there.

It was fucking hilarious. Cause like Sarah and I were dressed to the nines. I was wearing a pea coat, okay? Sarah's wearing, whereas wearing a faux fur coat. Everyone on the, on every lift was like, what the fuck are you guys wearing? And they're like, we're not fucking skiing. Like you dorks, dude.

We are dressed to go drink on top of a mountain. Right. Anyways, it was beautiful. It snowed one day, which is cool. It was beautiful up on the mountain, which is clear. That was beautiful. That was amazing. But I tell you what my,

didn't see coming sneak attack fave thing was. Tell me. Not Whistler. me not Whistler Okay, whistler is great, but it's the same thing as Tahoe. It's the same thing as Aspen same thing as veil I mean, it's obviously a better mountain or whatever more runs cool vibes in the village You know like cool shops, whatever I'll tell you what blew my mind never been to Vancouver British Columbia How great's Vancouver dude fucking, fucking sick city, dude. I don't know why everyone doesn't live there.

Well, it's probably because it's fucking rainy and cold all the time, but we went there. Never had a bad meal. Never had a bad meal. I ate there seven different times. Never had a bad meal. Yeah. Fantastic.

Last day we came in, we had a couple hours for the flight. So we went down to the Wharf thing. Very remind me a lot of like the Monterey Wharf or the San Francisco Wharf. Had an amazing meal there. I've started this thing called heat maps So when I did that show with Tyler Florence the cooking show he taught me this and so what he would do is He would make the like the best restaurants best bars in every city and then make guides in his in his maps app Super smart so I asked the producers actually of this show

who like all live in Canada and I was like, where do I go? And so they, they like told me all the places. So he's, I had my heat. I need to like send this out to peeps, I guess. I was thinking sell it, monetize that shit. That's a good idea too. So anyways, my guide for Vancouver.

We went to this place called the Sandbar that's down by the wharf. Fantastic. Dude, they got this squid fucking dish. I was like, eh guide for Vancouver. We went to this place called The Sandbar, that's down by the wharf. Fantastic. Dude, they got this squid fucking dish. I was like, eh, so good. I went to Joe Forte's, which is like, I think it's like very well known as the place to go for like seafood.

That place was, was badass. Blue Water Cafe. One of the best ones I had in my entire life. Wait, I think I went there. Dude, so good. Bacchus Restaurant and Bar and Lounge, we went and partied there and we also stayed there. Anyways, Vancouver is my jam.

I love it. And I know we've got a lot of like Canadian listeners. Sorry for fucking sleeping on your country. On your city, you mean? All right, Brandi, you know what my favorite thing is? Tell me. The human body, it's amazing. Pretty cool.

Well, yeah, you know, just I don't go to Canada a lot. You know, a lot of people are upset that Donald Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state. And I'm here to say I'm kind of here for it. Why can't we all just be the same country? I don't know. I think that we get so much more out of getting Canada as a cunt. You do? Than they do out of us.

Yeah, because we come with baggage, you know? Yeah, I guess so. We're school shootings and last in like medical stuff and we got problems with education, but we got money. So Canada, you want that money? We got money. Anyways, Vancouver is the shiz. We'll put out a link for my heat map. I also got a heat map for Whistler as well.

Okay, love it. Do you wanna talk about the show? Yeah. Go for it. Ladies first on the new year. Bros and hoes. You're listening to your favorite thing podcast with Wells and Brandy. Happy 2025.

Do you think that 2025 is gonna go as fast as 2024 did? Faster. Faster. Faster, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dude, we're starting off blazing, dude. We got a terrorist attack in New Orleans. I know. And then another one in Vegas. All the conspiracy theories about the guy in Vegas

that was really like trying to do like whistleblowing stuff about like some crazy Psyop stuff and like how the aliens in New Jersey were connected and really like the FBI or the CIA came and killed him and framed him in there. I don't know might be true might not be crazy. And then you got Justin Baldo and you got Blake Lively. What a spicy, spicy situation.

I like so it's so amazing that the pendulum swing going on with this. Like at first you're like, we lively seems like she sucks. And then she like puts out a suit and it's like, oh, Justin Baldoni is a piece of garbage. And then he like come back with more receipts and like, oh, maybe Blake Lively is kind of crappy. And also Ryan Reynolds is now involved in this. And then all of a sudden he created a Deadpool character that's supposed to be like making

fun of Justin Baldoni. It's so much information and here's my thought and I wanna get yours. Okay. Can two things be true at the same time? I say yes. They can. Maybe they both suck.

That's kind of what I'm thinking. I think so. I really am. Part of me wants this to go to some sort of trial. Yeah. Because I lived for the Gwyneth Paltrow ski trial and I need another one to keep me occupied this winter. Or the Johnny Depp Amber Heard trial.

So good. And you know, he hired the same lawyer Johnny had. Baldoni did? Yes. Smart. That chick was good. Yeah. So I can only hope that this will turn into something. I don't remember meeting Justin back in the day, but my mom says that we used to hang out with him a lot. Really? But I don't recall this, but Tish does. I don't know if he was like in the Disney, but my mom says that we used to hang out with him a lot. Really? But I don't recall this, but Tish does.

I don't know if he was like in the Disney circle or what. I'm not really sure. So like, I wish I had more tea, but I don't. But yeah, I like kind of think that they're both on the shit list. Like, I don't think either one of them probably are like saints, you know? You know who I feel bad for in this whole thing? Colleen Hoover. I know, right?

She's got like, fuck, I got this movie made, now this is this whole thing, you know? It's like not about the art, it's about like these two artists who are just probably annoying to work with. I mean, the only good thing about it is people are gonna be like, oh, I need to see the movie now because you know, like Bad Press is good press, like all that, like that's the one thing is like maybe more people will go

and watch it now that it's streaming. But yeah, that sucks because there was like a really great message behind that story and it's kind of getting lost in all this. Did you see the movie? I did, yeah, it's out in the theater. I read the book, so I did my part, I suppose. Yeah, the movie's on, I think Netflix now, so.

Yeah, it is. If you wanted to see it. I mean, the one thing I will say is now that all this has come out both of them really their acting skills are Phenomenal because you'd never know you know what I mean, then they play each other's love interest and you'd never know they hate each other's guts Yeah, I thought there was like abuse in that the way they show it is like Not super literal, which is cool. Maybe you should watch it. It's a good movie like not super literal, which is cool. Maybe you should watch it.

It's a good movie. Yeah, maybe I will. But like also like if you do hate somebody and you have to pretend like you are abusing them. Yeah, but you also have to pretend like, like for Blake's character, you have to pretend like you're madly in love and that you're, that's why you're tolerating all this.

Right? So it's like, I don't know. She clearly hates the guy. So kudos to her. She had me fooled. I think there's just a world in which they both sack. Me too. Did you watch the Golden Globes?

I didn't watch the entire thing, but I watched a good bit of it. My sister was in attendance, fierce as always. You know, I mostly just watched the red carpet coverage, if I'm honest, and then I watched some highlights on TikTok. However, I will say, I fucking love Nikki Glaser. I could just watch her. I want her to host everything. I could watch her all day. I think she's fucking hilarious. She's always been funny, but I feel like in the past year,

she's just like gone to a different level with the roast and now this. I gotta give a shout out to my boy, Bill Dixon. He's on our writing staff. And so well done there. But yeah, she's really funny. Yeah, I really like her a lot. She looks great.

I mean, damn, she's really funny. Yeah, I really like her a lot. She looks great. I mean, damn, girls literally on fire. Okay, so my mom got married over the break. How was it? Fun. I got to see like all my I had to be with all my family, you know? Okay. Yeah. So here's a funny thing. So, you know, she my mom is this she's old, she's bold. Okay. And so she asked me to give like the toast, the official toast of the thing.

All her friends are there and they're all old. All her friends are old, right? So it's just, it's just fucking old people, right? So she asked me to give this toast and I can kind of do the toast for you. But the toast, the toast was funny. What happened during it was what was funny about it. So I open up with I'd like to be the first person to welcome

everyone to this geriatric soiree. A couple of notes from the management. Number one, very exciting. Tom Selleck is going to be here at the end of the event to talk to you guys about a reverse mortgage, which seems like a fun thing to do. What else? Oh, yeah, make sure you take all of your excess money. Let's put that into gold immediately. And lastly, or whatever suspicious email that you have in your inbox, let's go ahead and just forward that to everyone you know. And if we

could, let's do it from our AOL account. That would be amazing. So I'm making fun of making fun of all these old people, right? Right. While I'm doing that, there are these old people be like, wait, Wells, hold on, talk about this. And I'm like, Janet, you don't have any lines here. This is a speech, so let's stop that. I have another, one of my mom's friends

who's got her cell phone. So I'm like on stage, right? Who comes up on stage with the cell phone and is filming like right in front of my face. And I'm like, dude. So she's like, hold on, I got to send this to Jeff. This is her son. And I'm like, I'm in the middle of the speech right now. And so she's like, okay, fine. And she stops it. And then she's so I'm doing my speech. I'm like doing like this heartfelt, like, you know, like they say that when you find love, it's a gift. When you find love for the second time, it's, you know,

the universe's way of like showing infinite beauty or whatever. I'm saying all this beautiful stuff. And she's got the phone out seven feet from my face and she starts playing it back while I'm doing the speech. And I'm like, dude, I was like, this is amazing. I'm doing a whole bit about people doing old people shit while old people are doing old people shit at me.

It was the most meta speech I've ever given in my life. I was like, what is happening? Oh, fuck. Anyways, it was beautiful. It was fun to fun to be around everybody. But like I said, you know, listen, we're all not spring chickens. I'm the youngest of five kids. So all of my siblings are old too. And then you have my mom and her new husband who are everyone's old. And we have the the

photographer there. What the fuck is the deal with photographers making you take off your sunglasses? Sunglasses make you look better, make you look younger, make you look not as fat and tired and ugly and your bitch ass is like, dude, why am I not wearing sunglasses? Hey, we're all 40s and 50s and 60s and 70s. Taking off these sunglasses ain't going to make shit better. If anything, we're gonna have to make you Photoshop all this stuff. True.

I think once you get exactly why I wear sunglasses on this every show I know. Listen, this is my thing. Every once you get to 35, you get to wear sunglasses for every picture if you want. So true. You don't have to. But don't you dare shame me into taking off my sunglasses. Don't you do it. Lady. Miley wore sunglasses to the Golden Globes last night. Smart. On the red carpet. You don't need to you don't need to worry about your cat eye. Loved it. Loved it. Yeah, I know we try to stay

away from making fun of airports and flying. You. Yeah, you don't you don't care. At airports now, look, we went to this wine bar where there's a QR code on the table. So you get your phone out and you do the QR code and then you order on your phone. You never really talk to anybody. Nope.

And then they bring whatever you ordered to your thing, to your table, and then you pay on your phone. The only time I interacted with anybody during this, the whole thing was when someone brought me shit, right? Yeah. No one talked to me. The only time anyone talked to me, the lady goes, hey, you gotta order on the QR code.

And I go, oh, okay. And then they have the audacity. To ask for a tip. Ask for it. What am I tipping for? If anything, I should be tipping myself. I did all the work. I know. I fucking put in the order.

But what's crazy about this is AI is gonna destroy us. It's taking away jobs. We don't need servers anymore. All you need is a food runner and a bus boy. And that's it. No more servers. It's crazy. So when I was in Australia,

so many places operated like this. Like almost every place we went to eat that wasn't like a nice, you know, like four or five star restaurant was this. It was the QR codes on the table and the same thing. And I feel like this is just gonna become the new norm. And it's sad. No, I want to be served.

Me too. And what if I have modifications? What if I have an allergy that needs to be disclosed? And what if, you know, I just want to make a substitution and it's not an option on the QR code menu? Like there are just too many things. I want to ask someone, hey, the chicken or the fucking beef, dude, what do you think? You know, how good is the bartender of making an old fashioned? Like that stuff is important and I'm happy to pay extra for that. I was a waiter. Still kind of play the bartender of making an old fashioned? That stuff is important. And I'm happy to pay extra for that.

I was a waiter. Still kind of play a bartender. I get it. I don't even know who I'm tipping in this situation. Who's the money going to? I hope that you guys have enough money to live your life, I guess, as runners, but I don't even know who the money's going to.

Speaking of tipping, this is something my brother does and I find it fascinating. Do you leave a tip in your hotel room for the maids

or the housekeepers? Whatever you want to call them? I have I never have no. So my brother believes in it like wholeheartedly. I mean, I feel like if anyone deserves a tip, it is the house the the house housekeepers. Yeah, what's the right term? Housekeeping? Not maid. Maid's not right. No, it's called housekeeping. Housekeeping. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, what's the right term? Housekeeping? Not made maids not right. Housekeeping. Housekeeping. Yes.

Yeah. Yeah, he was like, they have the worst freaking job. It's true. And they had to clean up your stuff. And also, you should be taking care of them. And I'm like, really? Every time we go. He does it. That's pretty cool. I know. I think it's a good. It's a good thing. My only problem is I just don't have cash like that all the time. I know I don't. I never have cash. This is what I need. Atms to cool. I know, I think it's a good thing. My only problem is I just don't have cash like that all the time. I know, I never have cash.

This is what I need ATMs to do. I need ATMs to start dispersing cash in fives. Yeah. I need a big wad of fives, cause it's like, here you go, leave me alone. Cause when I get a 20, I'm like, ah, do you guys have change? I hate that.

Hey guys, do you have any change? I know, me too. Oh, you don't have change? I can't give you this 20. You're not worth it. Yeah. Well, especially like for valet, I never have like fives or ones to give valet and that's frustrating.

Yeah. One of my favorite things that I learned about Canada, they do sell Plan B there, but they don't call it Plan B. Oh. They've got two different names for it. One is called Option 2. Okay. Okay.

So obviously someone has trademarked Plan B. So now Canada's like, oh no, we have to, it's gotta be similar I guess, eh? So you have Option 2. Okay. Or Contingency 1. Oh. Okay, so. I contingency one. Oh, okay. So I like that one. By the way, I was thinking about it. I was like, these all sound like the names of awesome fucking spy

movies, right? In a world in the Pacific Northwest, one man must One man must go to the store to not have a kid. He must fight through Glade and Dale in this fall's blockbuster, contingency one. Too good. Yeah, you got some paid things bro or what? You're gonna literally hate me, hate me for bringing this up because I'm so late to the party. I read fourth wing.

Holy shit, Wells. You didn't tell me it was that good. Yeah, I did. I actually told you for fucking 12 episodes. I was like, dude, this is amazing. It's YA, but they're fucking each other. It really is so good. No shit, I told you.

Way better than Harry Potter. For sure. Better than Divergent. For sure. It's like Game of Thrones meets Divergent meets Harry Potter, but somehow it's better than almost all of them, maybe not Game of Thrones. But I was just really impressed,

especially for how long of a book it was, because it just kept going and going, but I never got tired of it. Well, there's more, right? No, I know. I just bought the second one. Have you read them all? Yeah, we're waiting on the third one.

So you read the second book. Yeah, the second one's good. As good as the first? The first one ends kind of crazy, right? I know. And then the second one, I don't want to ruin anything for you. The second one's awesome.

Don't ruin it. Yeah, it's just like not school anymore. You know? Okay, yeah, yeah. All right. Well, surely they're making these movies. Yes, I believe they are is it already like is it already like in the works? Yeah, I talked about it. I wanted I wanted Sarah to throw a name in the hat for I know But like what's the tea is there tea? I think that they're making the movie. I wonder who's they? Production companies. Well, which one? I

don't know if only someone good to be doing this. If only we had a device in our hands that could tell us. fourth wing TV series is being produced by Amazon MGM studios and Michael B Jordan's Outlier Society. Okay. The series is in early stages of development, but progress has been made since the announcement of the adaptation. I was kind of hoping HBO was gonna do it.

Yeah, I don't know. But Amazon killed it with Peripheral, and I don't think that's coming back, which shocks me. Yeah. But they do, they are capable. Speaking of things that I listen to on audio, I just like to go ahead and say that I feel like I started it, but I think it was like three weeks ago, four weeks ago,

I was like, everyone needs to go listen to this podcast called the Telepathy Tapes. It's about these- Oh, I've been hearing, everyone's talking about it. Okay, first of all, I talk about it fucking first, 100%. I've been telling people this. By the way, and you remember I did the video on my phone of like, I'm not in the business of like promoting

other people's podcasts, but my own, but this is so good. I'm so good at this. Do you know what the number one podcast in the fucking world is? Tele, tele, tele, telepathy tapes. Telepathy tapes, that's right. Why can't I say that? You can't, yeah, that's too bad.

Telepathy. Yeah, telepathy. That's a tough one can't say that. You can't, yeah, that's too bad. Telepathy. Yeah, telepathy. That's a tough one. Telepathy. Yeah, beating out Joe Rogan, telepathy taste, called it. Wow. So go listen to that, I guess, if you want to or not. I've put so many people on it. It's funny, because it's really frustrating,

because a lot of people don't listen to my podcast. And if they did, their life would be so much more fulfilled because I give them so many good things. But anyways, I told my entire family during Christmas, I was like, you guys are fucking gonna listen to my podcast. And if they did, their life would be so much more fulfilled because I give them so many good things. But anyways, I told my entire family during Christmas, I was like, you guys are fucking gonna listen to this thing. It's amazing. And everyone's like, okay, what is it?

And I'll send them the link, you know? And then of course, they're like, oh my God, I listened to the entire thing in the day. It's the most amazing thing ever. And I'm like, I told you, why don't you listen to me? No one listens to you. And I'm the smartest person anyone's ever seen. Right.

Speaking of TV shows, it's tomorrow that Trader season three comes out. I was hoping we were gonna discuss this. Your little promo clip was cute. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You buying it? You buying that I can pull off the doofus? No.

I know, it's not. I tell you what my problem is going to be on this show. And the YFT is gonna test. I can't shut the fuck up. No, we know. I cannot do it. That's a clip from like before the game starts, right? And I'm like, I'm being played dumb and like not say anything and like I'm a sweet guy. And then what the problem is, is that I'm me and I can't shut the fuck up. Right.

So we'll see how it goes, I guess. You'll find out tomorrow. But I do think it's funny that like my big plan was like, be the doofus, which I am, I guess, but like I'm annoyingly loud doofus. Yeah. Maybe. Seems like you should have gone to contingency one.

Yeah. Option two. Shut the fuck up, Wells. So I guess next week we'll talk about the episodes that I'm in, you know, all that kind of stuff. You are up in for some fun stuff. I will say that. Okay.

Well, you know, I've never seen the show, so I'm excited to watch. Nice. I started Squib Game two. Did you ever watch Squib Game? I tried to watch season one and I just couldn't. Really? Like back when it came out. Yeah, it was not for me.

It was like one of the most popular shows in the TV show ever. I know, I know. But it was like a little bit like Black Mirror that in the sense of like, it was just like a bit hard for me to watch and I just didn't love it. Oh, well anyways, I started watching season two.

The first episode ends amazing. It's so good. So I'm early on in it, but at first I was like, one, it was like ends. Amazing, it's so good. So I'm early on in it, but at first I was like, one, it was like taking me a long time to be like, wait, who's who, what's going on here? And then I was like, what are they guys, what are they trying to do, you know? You won this week, you got a lot of money.

I don't know what's happening here. And then finally I figured it all out, because I'm a genius, and the ending was like, the ending of the first episode was like fucking badass. So I'm excited about that. Okay. Have you heard of this show called Bad Sister? Yeah, my mom watches it.

So funny. So my in-laws like love this show. So it's obviously for the older Jen. Yeah, I think so. The Garvey sisters are bound together by their parents' deaths and a promise to always protect one another. Bad sisters, family, it's a killer on Apple TV+.

It stars Bono's daughter, Eve Hewson, who is also in that, the perfect couple, you know, like the murder mystery. Oh, yeah. It's interesting, so it's all these sisters, they're like Irish or whatever, or Scottish, I don't know. Someone's got a fucking message being like, well, they're from, they's interesting. So it's all these sisters. They're like Irish or whatever or Scottish. I don't know. Someone's going to fucking message being like, well, they're from their Welsh. And I'm like, I'm paying attention.

Whatever. Yeah. So anyways, one of the sisters has this like shitty husband and it's basically like the sisters trying to figure out a way to fucking kill this guy. And that's funny. That's comedy right there. So, yeah, that's the that's it. It's pretty good. But I do feel like it's one, I think it's for more for the ladies Mmm, and two I feel like I'm hearing a lot of parents love this

Yeah, so maybe it's for the older Jen. Maybe you know we're right behind them though. I know yeah It's for the lady that was videotaping me during a speech Got it. I Hope this video of it was so funny when that was happening to me. I was like, I'm getting heckled in a wedding speech right now. That's too good. By the way, you were in the news recently. I was. Let's look at it. I saw it. For what? It's a picture of your mom on E-news.

And it says... She looks great. She looks amazing. Smash. It was kind of by accident that I stopped smoking. So that's the... Would you call it an accident? Well, so that's the first slide.

So you're like, okay, interesting. Did you not see this? No. Second slide. It's a picture of you and your mom. I look great too. You guys both look great. She was great on weed, LOL. True.

She was great on weed, best version of herself, Brandy Cyrus quote. Show me the lie. So I guess what I'm getting at is this was so confusing to me because... Well because E-news takes every tagline out of context. That's how they make headlines. I know but so the context was it looks like Brandy wants her mom to be on drugs.

Weed's not a drug. Yeah, it is a drug. No, it is a natural substance from the earth first of all. So is cocaine. So is heroin. Okay, cocaine. You got to like go in the lab and like make it right. At least like the it's a plant that grows from the earth. Yeah, you're defending weed without having I don't even smoke weed. Yeah. Tish was the best version of herself while on weed. But I

stand by it. Yeah, but that cracks me up because that was taken from I believe probably from the context of us talking about why she quit smoking weed on our podcast. And I probably like to be funny to start the convo was like Tish was great on weed, you know how it is. And then we probably continue to have a very serious conversation about why she's not smoking it anymore. But you know what, we'll let E-news have it.

I know just it's just- Your clickbait, I love that for you guys. At least they used a picture where I look fucking great. That's true, that is very true. Thank you. But also, looks like you just want your mom to be drugged out so you can probably steal from her. No, I want her to be the best version of herself,

and that is on marijuana. Okay. But she's decided it's not good for her right now, and I support that. Still in the middle of reading Wicked or listening to Wicked, okay? I gotta be honest with you. The book is so much different than the freaking play in movie. Like not even close. So much different. And I'm pretty early on but I'm like, this is not how it is portrayed. Galinda in the movies, like legally blonde almost, you know, like really, really pretty,

really, really vain and like really rich and everything. Maybe like clueless, I guess. But in the book, she's like, that's not the case at all. Like the way they get to school is different, so different. I bring up that point to bring up this point. Someone sent me this and it's why audio books are better. And I feel like you need to hear this.

Some interesting things that happen with reading aloud or audio books that don't happen when you're reading with your eyes. Let's do it. One of them is that good readers, especially the better you get at reading, the faster you are. So a lot of times we'll skip like connector words.

So if I was to hand you like the first page of the Hobbit and you were to read it silently to yourself, you would be able to read it much faster than if you were reading it out loud or if I was reading it out loud to you, right? And that's because you're skipping all those little connected words, which is fine. That's how we read with our eyes. And they can see this with the way that our eyes like how they scan words. What happens when we're listening is that every single word, all of those grammatically

correct sophisticated language patterns are being stored in our brain. It is the only time that happens. We don't speak in grammatically correct sophisticated language. We don't see it in movies, in media, talking to our friends, talking with our parents. We're not doing it right now, right? We're not speaking in grammatically correct sophisticated language patterns. The only place we get it is from not just books, but listening to books. And for a lot of kids and adults, I'm one of them, I retain better through audio than I do with my eyes. There's a- See, her last point there is why I like to read.

I retain better from visual shit, not audio. All I'm saying is that the reason why I listen to audio books is because it helps me be more of a grammatically correct speaker and basically I'm smarter than you. So you have to live with that every day. I listen to something I literally goes in one ear and out the other if I don't see it. Oh, like also like, like when I

was in school, and I did math, I was I always had to like do my math out like long like on paper, I can never just do it in my head, I had to see it. And there's just something about like seeing something visually that puts it in my brain in a different way than just hearing it. The other thing that amazed me about that whole thing was you guys skip the filler words when you're reading. I don't think I do that. Maybe this is like my ADD or whatever. But when I read a book, I read it out loud in my head like an audio book, I do too. I don't skip filler words. I don't know how to do that.

No, me neither. I don't either. All right. Unless we're doing it subconsciously, but I don't think I do. Yeah. Because I do like, I hear the words in my head as I'm reading it.

Yeah. I watched the new Nate Barghazi special. It's on Netflix. How was it? It's great. I love Nate Barghazi. He's a Nashville native. And he has been on SNL a bunch, which has really like skyrocketed his career, I feel like.

His special is very, very funny. And I think it's at Bridgestone Arena. I think that's where it is. I think he sold it out like a bunch of different nights in a row on Netflix, highly recommend, very, very funny. That's sick. I also saw Alien Romulus. Wow.

It was okay. It's fun, I guess, Alien Romulus. Wow. Eh. Eh? It was okay. It's fun, I guess, but not my favorite alien movie. I don't love the alien movies. Well, we're living in one. I know. My last favorite thing about Canadians. Or at least this one that I encountered in Whistler.

Okay. So for New Year's Eve night, we decided that we would cook hamburgers, we were like, make it easy, you know, hamburgers and french fries. So we go to the store. By the way, in Whistler, it's nothing but French people and Australians, and there is no in between. Interesting. There's no like just normal Canadians being like, hey, I would that it's like all French Canadians and then Australians, I'm sorry.

So I'm walking around the grocery store and I need to get cheese. And I don't know about you, but my favorite cheese on a burger is American Kraft Singles, right? Ew, no, I hate those. Really? Yeah, well they're plastic.

I know, but it's like, it's the best. No. No? Okay, well, I feel like a lot of people would disagree with you on that. Okay. But anyways, that's what I like, so don't yuck my yum. So I go up to this guy and I go, hey,

and I'm like looking at the cheese aisle, I'm like, where's your American cheese? And he goes, American cheese? And I go, yeah, you know, like American cheese. And he goes, what is American cheese? And I go, you know, like Kraft Singles. And he was like, I don't, and I was like, you know, like on a McDonald's burger, the cheese for that.

And he goes, oh, like grilled cheese. And I go, yes, what you put on grilled cheese. And he goes, we don't have. And I was like, oh, you don't have American cheese here where you're right by America and he was like, I don't think we have we've gotten It was a little bit of like we are better than this We are better than your shit cheese you piece of garbage American fat dumb American get away from me We have real cheese is like gorgonzola and gouda and brie But we don't have your stupid plastic cheese

and plastic wrapper. So anyways, I'm like, okay, fine. I'll go get Colby Jack, whatever, you know, walk away. You know, maybe like 20 minutes later, I run into this guy and I'm like in produce now, and he goes, oh, are you the Cheez Man? Yeah! I'm the Cheez Man! And he goes, I'm the cheese man.

And he goes, I found your cheese. I was like, what? So he was like, it's not called a craft, it's something different, but I'll take you there. Let me take you to the cheese. Okay. So we'd take, and it was like, whatever. It was bullshit craft singles.

Anyways, my favorite part about that story is that I want everyone to now know me as the cheese man. Are you the cheese man? Yes, I am the cheese man I have one more thing. Oh go go go go go go. I just finished season six of Virgin River Which is a show that you will never watch and nor would I I ask you to, because it's definitely not for you. And I have a bone to pick, okay? Netflix, this show has been on six seasons. It is a very successful show. I know you guys have a decent budget.

Shot in Vancouver, actually, well as maybe you should watch it for the scenery. Can we please not misrepresent the proper care and living situation for horses on your show? Can you please just hire someone, I volunteer, the proper care and living situation for horses on your show. Can you please just hire someone, I volunteer, to be on set and make sure that what you are depicting when it comes to the horse and its living conditions and its care is accurate because people are going to think that they can just have a horse and it live by itself

in a barn with no hay and no shavings and where's the water source and that it can just live inside 24 seven. This is inaccurate. This is not true. I just really feel like this horse was misrepresented in many ways on this Netflix show. Not nothing about it was accurate whatsoever. Now I am going to give you, I'll give you one credit here that it was very adorable that you showed how healing that working with the horse was for Jack and his character and his PTSD from being in the military. I love that.

This, that, that in itself is accurate. And I love that you wanted to bring the horse in to show that sort of relationship that people can have with horses. However, the horses deserve better. And anyone watching Virgin River, I don't want you to think that you can just get one horse and just have one horse that lives alone in a barn and doesn't ever see grass or

outside because this is not true. And that's all I have to say. Other than that, this show is great. I love it. They really left us on a cliffhanger. They had like three storylines just bang bang bang, cliffhanger, cliffhanger, cliffhanger, and we don't know what's gonna happen so that. Um, I don't know how much longer they can do this show. Maybe one more season, maybe two if they're lucky. But God, for the love of animals everywhere, if you're gonna have more horses, just hire somebody. Be on set.

To just make sure what you're showing is authentic and accurate. And that's my rant. Thank you for that, Brandy. Yeah. You know it's not real, right? You know for that, Brandi. Yeah. You know it's not real, right? You know none of that is real?

Obviously. Okay, good, good, good, good, good. But, however, a lot of America watching might not know what's real and what's not when it comes to horses. They might think like, oh, this is what it's like to have a horse. It's not. Yeah. So yeah, I guess the moral of the story is if you're going to buy a horse, no,

it's not like it is on Virgin River. No. Got it, got it, got it, got it. Any Musax? No. Yeah, okay, no worries. It's a dead time for Musax. I got some Musax.

Oh, you do? Okay, great. I love that. I've always got it. I know. You're the music guy, not the cheese guy. The cheese man. The cheese man.

Do you want a sad song? Sure. Do you know who Mark Sabilia is? Yes, I do. Nashville guy, I don't know if he still lives there, but I remember him in Nashville. We kind of look similar, we've got similar hair. Anyways, I used to interview him back in the day

and he's just so freaking talented. He's actually a really phenomenal follow Nashville. We kind of look similar. We've got similar hair. Anyways, I used to interview him back in the day and he's just so freaking talented. He's actually a really phenomenal follow on TikTok and Instagram because he has a studio where he has like every instrument like in a big circle and he'll like kind of loop it all but he'll like go to different little sections.

Anyways, this is a real sad song called Bittersweet from Mark Zabilia that I liked a lot. I'm gonna miss this place and all the friends we made. I always thought that I'd be glad to say goodbye. When you find a dream, then you finally see that it's bittersweet like everything. That's like to start 2025 with the message of um, it's bittersweet like everything, you know, It's true. Uh, but if you know, you like some sad master music, your boy does. Oh, I found this band on TikTok. I love them. I want to see them live. They look young and fun and cool. This is a song

which is cool. Nice. Get some Nashville people on. So I'm just hanging tight. Like I don't have any travel plans for the next few weeks until the end of the month. I am going to Vail. Oh nice. On a little ski trip, I guess. Are you gonna ski?

So, okay. So I've only snowboarded before and I haven't been in years and I've only been like four times at all in my whole life. So I'm not good. So I need to decide if I want to try skiing this time maybe take a lesson see if that's any like easier for me to learn or if I

should just stick to what I already started and get back on the snowboard and just hope I don't die. I don't know I haven't decided yet but I will we'll be going to Vale at the end of the month. Amazing I want to go to Vale. No I don't. come with us. No, actually, the bachelorette. That's what I spent. Whistler. I don't do that at all. What do I got going on? Nothing really. The only thing I'm really excited about is at the end of this month, I'm gonna be in Orlando playing in the LPGA Tournament of Champions like I do every year. It's at Lake Nona in Orlando. Buy tickets come

hang out with us. It's gonna be really fun. It's gonna be myself, Ben Higgins and Joey from the Bachelor. I don't think they've released that information. But I'm gonna tell you anyways, if you want to meet the Bachelor boys, and then some other really fun people. Chandler Parsons, Blake Griffin, Alfonso Riviero, much bunch of dudes that play golf all the time. And yeah, come support the ladies. Because you know what?

You ladies need to support ladies sports. That's my rant here. Oh. And all this complaining, like women don't get paid as much. What, you know why? Because all you girls don't go to the sports, the events. I'm not, like I'm not a big golf girl in general. I know, I know.

I'm not really sure. But it's all, you know, like just the men get paid so much more. It's cause the guys go to see the men play, but girls don't go see the girls play. No. I've been to more LPGA events than 99.9% of women. I believe that. more LPGA events than 99.9% of women.

I believe that. You guys gotta do your part here. You gotta support the ladies. I don't like golf. I don't like golf. I know, I'm just saying like ladies who complain about like not getting as much money. Well, you gotta come support. Why would you go watch women's sports

when you could go to like, you know, a baseball game and see men run around in tight white pants or go to a hockey game and watch men just beat each other up, you know? It's just- Those girls are good. A bit more fun. Yeah, I get it. Those girls in the LPG are good.

Anyways, I just want you- If you like golf, I'm sure it's great. I want you guys to come to sport. Anyways, that's all I got. Well, I have two years, happy new year. Happy new year. Can't believe it. See how fast this one goes.
