Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Objection: Nothing Matters

Episode Date: May 4, 2022

Everything’s f*cked and nothing matters, but onwards we go with our little podcast each week. Today Brandi is in LA so we have a very exciting in-person recording. As Wells disciplines his dog, the two reflect on how he will be as a parent. Wells concludes that he plans to parent as little as possible, and leave it to the au pair. Brandi, who’s gonna take a hard pass on the kids thing, talks about her struggle in Salt Lake City where the whole town shuts down by 6pm and how she will not be attending Stagecoach as she does not want her legacy to be that of a country DJ. She is also concerned about MT’s heart as she drinks Celsius like water. Wells has lots to say about a least favorite movie, and they talk about Elon Musk buying Twitter.

Give me a check um hello hello you're listening to the podcast all right that's pretty good pretty good okay i think that's fine great it doesn't really matter nothing matters nothing really does matter no is there anything that matters i don't think what is that thing? You know the game like Angry Birds? Yeah. I think it's one of the pigs. It's creepy as all hell. I like it because you squeeze it, his eyes pop out. Yeah, it's

creepy. Alright, very excited because Brandi is in Hawaii. I'm in Hawaii. Hey, I took the 405 to the 101 to get here and I got off at the Sepulveda Pass because you know that, that like 101, 405 intersection is just gnarly.

No, you didn't. Because your mom's house, you know what your mom's house is. You took Riverside probably down. Yeah, I did. Actually, I took Moorpark. Oh, you took Moorpark down. Yeah.

And then you hung a Louis on freaking Laurel. Your street. Yeah. That street down there. Well, it's good to have you on the show. You know? I'm on the show every week. What are you talking about?

I was going to say, it's good to have you in the studio. In studio. Boo. Boo. You're going to get the boo. Boo. Out of here. God damn it.

I'm calling the ball, which means the boo's going to cry about it. I can't wait till you have kids. I can't wait to see your parenting skills. Dude, when I have kids, we're going to have an au pair. Okay? We're having an au pair. Uh-huh. And they're going to raise my children.

Yeah. I'm here for that. Right? That's the only way to do it. That's the only way. I can't be bothered to... Who am I to raise a child? Yeah, no.

It's the only thing that can be done. Because if they give me a child... Infant in one arm, white claw in the other. How is Salt Lake City? Very Mormon, you know? Are you a Mormon now? No, absolutely not. You could be.

No, I don't want to do that salt lake it was fun salt lake is i think it's the sleepiest city i've ever been in in my whole life wow like things close at 6 p.m really the starbucks closed walgreens closed 6 p.m who's going to starbucks at 6 p.m downtown salt lake city closed walgreens at 6 yeah. Who's going to Starbucks at 6 p.m.? Downtown Salt Lake City. Closed Walgreens at 6. Yeah, but who's going to Starbucks at 6 p.m.? Me, because I had to DJ at midnight. Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Starbucks is at Starbucks's.

Starbucks Eye. Starbucks stays open in Nashville until like 10 at least. Yeah. On the weekdays. I'm sorry. It's very sleepy. It was like a ghost town. What do the Mormons do after six?

Do they have dinner? Well, I don't think they're allowed to drink. Yeah, they can't drink. So it's, take a Xanax and go to sleep? I don't know. You can't take Xanax. They have to go have dinner together

and they sit around a table and they talk about their day. Did you ever do that as a kid? Absolutely not. Oh, we had to do that. 100%. We couldn't be late for dinner. No, no, no.

We had one of those bells that ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling. You did not. Yes, we did. I don't believe that. Swear on my life. Where did you live? Like rural Pennsylvania? No, we lived in Monterey, but we lived on a golf course.

And there was five kids. So we were all like playing on the golf course and, you know. Wow. And doing that stuff. My parents did not cook. So they would pick a restaurant, like a chain restaurant. And we would eat there at the same one for like six months until they got sick of it. And then we'd pick a new one.

Like it was Outback Steakhouse for a solid six months. The one on West End? No, we were in Franklin, right? So the one in Cool Springs there, our 65 by the Home Depot, that Outback, definitely there for a solid six months. Jay Alexander's was another one. Yeah.

And that's when I was like 15 and needed a job. My mom was like, well, we're here every night. So why don't you go apply? Yeah. It was just always a chain restaurant. Wow. Oh restaurant. Wow. Oh, yeah. Interesting.

Do you think that if you have a family? Well, I don't want kids. Yeah. Just a hard pass on that. Yeah. You're like that one girl in Ultimatum. Ultimatum. Yeah.

Only I'm not changing my mind. Yeah. Honestly, though, I don't think she is either. Yeah, she was like, we'll just have one. Yeah, but she's lying. That's one more than you wanted. She's saying that to get the ring and then she's gonna marry the guy and be like, yeah, no.

No, I'm barren now. I wanna have kids, excited for it, but I wanna do minimal effort. So I'm gonna get my mom. Minimal, minimal effort needs to be done by me and by Sarah, if I'm being quite frank, okay? I'm working very hard right now, so I don't have to work hard when these kids come.

Yeah. Are you working hard? I mean, not really. Are you working hard? I mean, not really. Are you working hard or hardly working, really? Listen, it's been a dark couple months. We don't need to get into it. Or are those White Claw ads just really securing your child's future? Wasn't a bad one, I'll tell you that much.

Honestly, do you want to know what I have been having to do? Yeah. Here's what they don't tell you about professional television shows, which maybe you know this, but I don't know this from doing Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. There really isn't any pickups on Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. They do it all like when you're there, you know?

But for this show, Best in Doe, that I'm hosting, it's going to be coming out on Hulu, I have to do so much ADR and ADR is like when they send me a script and I have to like read what they want me to say even though I didn't say it originally right because like the network now has a different idea of like what needs to be important and this needs to be said and all this stuff so a lot of my day something that I've already been paid for is being is being like bogged down by like me redoing all this stuff oh yeah and they'll like send me videos of it of me speaking so i have to like match my mouth with it that's awful you know yeah luckily it got a lot of time my hands over here so luckily here we go wow but yeah so i've been doing a lot of that, you know, I've been running. Oh, keto lifestyle. You know, like Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, it's just getting better and better. Yeah.

You know, I agree. And by better and better, I mean, it's getting worse and worse. Here's what I think that Amber Heard needs to do. I think Amber Heard needs to next sue her lawyers for ruining her career because they are doing such a bad job. Did you see the thing where the lawyer objected to his own line of questioning? Yes. Listen, I'm no lawyer. I don't know if that's even not. But like everyone was like, can you believe this happened? I'm like, I guess not.

Rabble, rabble, rabble. How is this happening? And then that kind of like hot psychologist lady. Hot psychologist. She's pretty hot. Yeah, she's all right. I understand why Johnny and or Amber probably wanted this person. Uh-huh, sure.

Because I feel like they were just fucking everybody, you know? It's possible. They're like Will and Jade over there. I feel like that was supposed to be a witness for Amber's side, and it's just turned in like purely for Johnny's side. Oh, yeah. Am I wrong about that? No, you're right about that.

That's so great. And then my other favorite thing in Hollywood that's happened right now. I've always been team Jason Sudeikis and the whole Olivia Wilde thing. Listen, she left Jason Sudeikis for Harry Styles. I get it. I get it. Do it do you and also you don't mind my favorite songs I was gonna play at the end of this was this new song oh I really do like fascinating but what's funny about that song is it's a fucking indie song this motherfucker was a pop artist

throwing out indie songs if I was an indie band like no way dude come on this is gonna be played on alt and on pop, you know? Yep. So anyways, Olivia Wilde left Jason Sudeikis for Harry Styles. I get it. The younger, hotter rock star. I guess. But Jason Sudeikis is so cool.

I know. Pot smoking. Love him. SNL cast member. I know. Who has won more Emmys than God for his new show, which you didn't like, by the way. Didn't love it, but I still like Jason Sudeikis. Yeah.

But my favorite thing about it is that I guess he needed to serve her papers. Oh, yeah. And this is like, to be honest with you, so this would be a fun job. I think this would be a very fun- Serving people papers? Yes. Oh, absolutely it would. And I do believe that's

the premise of pineapple express i think um i haven't seen that in so long i think seth rogan's character is a guy who serves people papers that's hilarious and that's how it starts um but like so you have to come up with creative ways to serve people papers yeah they don't want if you don't get them then i guess you don't have to do anything with them. I don't know. I don't understand the law. All right. I don't either.

Objection. You asked the question. What's crazy about this whole like serving people papers thing to me though, is that like, no, there's no witnesses. Who's going to know if the person actually like said, yeah. Because they, you know, they'll come up to you. Are you Wells Adams? Yeah. And if you don't confirm, yes, I'm Wells Adamsams i don't think they can give you the papers right yeah i don't know

it's weird there's some blurry lines there and i'm like well no one's around who's gonna know if they actually said that or not you just throw them in their face for crying out loud yeah maybe you have a like a body cam on or something i don't know we need to find out we need to find someone that does this for a living and and ask some. But I do know that they give you the papers and they say, you've been served. Yes. I know that's a part of it. Yeah. It's only one line you got to remember.

It's great. So I guess Olivia Wilde was presenting her movie, her new movie to a crowd of people that has Harry Styles in it. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah. She hired her boyfriend. Dude, come on. Number one rule in Hollywood. Don't work with each other. You can't.

Don't do it. I know, it's bad. Bad news. What are you thinking? Unless the money's really good. And even then, so at the event where she's like presenting the movie in which her lover is in, someone walks up on stage and serves her the papers.

And God damn it, that's the greatest move in the history of divorce. And apparently, like, Zudeikis is like, I didn't say to do that. Well, of course not. Yeah. I mean, well, if he did. He probably did say, she's presenting a movie

at this address at this time, just in case you wondered about that. At 737 at the Universal Studios lot. She will be there. Yep. And weirdly enough, here's a ticket to go see it. I found this on the floor.

Here's the thing. If he didn't suggest it, whoever that guy is, give that guy a fucking medal, an award. You know? It's good. It's so great. If he did suggest it, I like him even more.

I like Sudeikis even more. There's no, it's a win-win for everybody. It is. And then she had to sit up there. I mean, I don't know how long she held it, but like she had to be up on stage. She had to hold the fucking manila envelope. I know. It's beautiful.

I don't ever want to get divorced, but if I get divorced, that's how I want to be served. At the premiere of your movie? Yeah. I want my moment to be taken away from me. Right. You know? Oh, man. Beautiful.

Start the show? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I probably should. Yeah. I think it's you. All right. Bros and hoes, you're listening to an in-person episode of Your Favorite Thing Podcast. With Wells and Brandy.

I kind of messed it up there, didn't I? You did mess it up. Yeah, sorry. It's okay. We made it work. I mean, we're in episode 203. What does it matter anymore? It doesn't matter.

But I do have some favorite things. That's good. And I have some not so favorite things oh sometimes i also think that's good too i think so too because it's a cautionary tale you know yeah absolutely we are tastemakers if you will are we yeah that's what i think we are by the way they rated like the top i saw this bachelor nation podcast i saw this and first all, we weren't even on the first page. I know. Offended. I am a little offended. Also, though, are you also offended they're calling us a Bachelor Nation podcast?

A little bit. Yeah. But like we, I mean, we do talk about The Bachelor. We do. So I get that. But. And you were on the show. Yeah.

And I'm always on the freaking show, I guess. But here's the thing like becca and tanya's show i don't feel like it's not about bachelor at all yeah not at all i think they just are saying that because becca was on it i get it yeah like dean and and jared's help us like a dating is that still a thing i don't know if they still do that i don't think they do i don't think they do either there's a couple in a van how's he recording a podcast i don't know they do. I don't think they do either. I think there's a couple. Dean lives in a van. How's he recording a podcast? I don't know. Jason Tardix is like about like money. Finance, yeah.

Yeah. Anyways, we weren't even on the first page, which is just, I don't know. It's hurtful, you know? It is. So that's one of my least favorite things right now. And the way that they were rating them, it was by how many people have rated the show. Which is bullshit. And how many like good ratings they've got.

I think ours did have all like almost all good. Yeah, we were 4.7 out of 5. Yeah, the stats were pretty good on our good ratings. Yeah, that's why we got like a little like gold star or something. What we're saying is, hey, go to the podcast app and give us five stars, please. Yes, please. So yeah, anyways, I didn't like that. Oh, please. Yes, please. So yeah, anyways. I didn't like that.

Oh, podcasts. Yeah, also, none of this matters. Nothing matters. This is a fucking Instagram page that I, I don't even know why this bothers me.

Why is this annoying me so much? Because you're hardly working and you got too much free time. Gotta do some ADR. All right, you got some favorite things, bro, or what? Yeah, bro.

Give it to me. Actually, I haven't really watched much but if we're being honest we literally just recorded we did wednesday's episode like three days ago and we're doing this because brandy is in town right now and you're leaving that's really why we're doing it for sure because i will still be here on monday yeah i'm going out but i'm going to the desert going he's going to stagecoach no i'm not to watch balake's dj set i'm so i'm going out and i'm going to the desert going he's going to stage coach no i'm not to watch balake's dj set i'm so i'm so annoyed so my mom's birthday is coming up and she loves the

desert because she's a lizard woman that like just loves to sit out in the sun and just like i get it but it's like the desert's just too hot i agree you know yeah give me hawaii i like some humanity with with my heat i think i do too you know especially like if you want to sit out like by a pool or the beach or something yeah yeah yeah but my mom loves palm springs so every year she's like i want to go to palm springs like we're great so my brother and i got us a place for all of us in the desert and he was like hey man can you split with me it's really expensive and i was like yeah okay why is the desert expensive this is an airbnb wet dream over there there's so much bullshit out there i have a meeting tomorrow morning and then after the

meeting i'm gonna go and i was telling my brother that he's like you better get on the road early and i was like why because it's stagecoach weekend and i was like oh great i'm gonna be in that traffic with all those annoying people who are so excited to go listen to Travis Tritt and I don't think he's on stagecoach but yeah and Leanne Rimes I don't think she's there either but yeah and Orville Peck he's probably there yeah I do like Orville Peck I do too I like that guy's cool yeah that guy's cool I remember so vividly being in like the caravan of traffic going to Bonnaroo and everyone being like, everyone's like, we're going. They've got signs and shit.

Everyone's like toking up and like selling drugs. And it's like you're getting ready. It's fun. It's exciting. Yeah. And I'm not. You're not there. I'm going to be like, fuck you guys.

Let's go. Let's pick it up. Pick up the pace. Okay. Hear me out. Why don't you take a jet suite flight? I didn't even think of that. It's pretty cheap up. Pick up the pace. Okay, hear me out. Why don't you take a JetSuite flight? I didn't even think of that. It's pretty cheap, actually.

I love JetSuite. Yeah. JetSuite is one of my fave things. It's really nice. I mean, I can't really take advantage of it much because I don't live here, but. They got a Burbank to Palm Springs? They do during Stagecoach. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

We're going to look into that. Honestly, you could probably get it for for hashtag free for a little story post. You got a connect over there? I do. I got a connect. Do you? I think so. And I also have a connect for a helicopter service that I took last time I went to the stagecoach.

Really? The stagecoach. Went to stagecoach. Oh, man. Are you sad you're not going to stagecoach to hang out with Black A? No, I'm not sad one bit. How come you're not doing a stagecoach set? Because I don't need to do a stagecoach set.

No, you know, I like to attend stagecoach. Here's the thing. I am not a country DJ, nor do I want to be known as a country DJ. Yeah. Can I hear once or twice a year, go play some country music for a good time? Sure. But it's not what I want to be known for. It's not really my thing.

So I'm fine not playing stagecoach. Do they mash up Billy Ray Cyrus with Sam Hunt? Yeah. That sounds horrible. It's pretty insane. Although- Is it still like- Some of it, yeah.

It's very interesting. My tractor's sexy. there's those exist oh fuck dude only person that can do it and do it right is diplo he plays every year in the palomino tent yeah i think it's on sunday nights maybe and it's like the big like end of stagecoach party in the palomino tent it's like a thing that diplo does every every year yeah and it's awesome because he's diplo and you know what i mean, every year. Yeah. And it's awesome because he's Diplo. And you know what I mean? Like he can play anything and everyone freaks out because it's freaking Diplo. Yeah.

But like, if you're not Diplo, you should not be playing country music at stagecoach. You know, you know what's, what's, I've never been to Coachella. You're not missing out on anything.

Yeah. And you know, Sarah's been a bunch and she used to go with, like, Vanessa Hudgens a bunch, and they would just get, like, I just feel like they were just getting papped, like, the entire time. Oh, yeah. Which sounds like a fucking nightmare to me in a place where I want to be fucking weird, whacked out. Litty kitty? Yeah.

Yeah. In the city. Well, not to mention you're sweating balls out there. Well, and, like, that's what I need. I need fucking my pupils to be the size of flying saucers in us weekly yeah that's what would happen this is such an elitist like hipster thing to say but that's how i feel so i'm gonna say it when i covered bonnaroo no one really cared about what you wore because you were camping it was like whatever you could just do to be comfortable

the whole thing was like all music discovery like okay i want to go see this band i want to go experience this thing and it was like always like trying to find the next thing and it's weird because i feel like what music festivals were were a discovery of talent musical talent or just artistic talent and now it's turned its face to a discovery of me. I want everyone to find out who I am. Yep, I can see that. And like took a picture of me and look how pretty I look. And to me, that is narcissistic.

That's not fun for me. I don't know. It's too hot. It's too dusty. There's too much walking involved. Ubers are $8,000 to drive you four miles. It's just not it. It's not it. It's not it. Well, I can't wait to go and be amongst all the Revolve girls. Oh, yeah.

I don't even know what Revolve is. I got invited to something and I was like, yeah, I'm not a girl. What are you going to do? They invited me to something and they wanted me to go do a bunch of posts about it. Oh, yeah. No money. They were just inviting me to a thing. They don't pay anyone for anything, hardly.

What the fuck are we doing there? Their budgets are so terrible. Is it clothes? People will do it, yeah. Girls will do it, A will do it a to get clothes and b just to be like be a revolve girl it's insane it's it's seen to be seen yeah no not for me okay so do you have some fave things do i have some fave things bro oh i'm deep into girl from plain bill yeah and you're loving it i'm loving it i did just so happens that my mom

and i were on the same episode when i got here so we watched like four episodes last night. Really? Yeah, it's really good. Are you team the girl from Plainville? Absolutely not. She's a complete psycho. Is she terrible? I mean, she's just Elle Fanning does such a good job playing this girl.

I mean, the girl's unhinged. You know? There's like this really interesting glee angle to it. Have you heard about this at all? No. Where the girl's unhinged you know there's like this really interesting glee angle to it have you heard about this at all no or the girl the girl the Plainville girl what's her name Michelle Michelle has this weird infatuation with glee and she'll like they're like one in one of the first episodes she like pulls up a scene from glee where Leah Michelle is giving a speech about her like boyfriend that died it was like very parallel to like what's going on right Michele's like boyfriend just

committed suicide scenes playing and she's standing in front of her mirror like like saying it with it like mirroring the scene and she's like sobbing and crying and so emotional and like the second it's over her like this look just like changes in her face and it's so freaking creepy and you can just tell everything is so calculated you know what i mean and then like there's another scene where she's in the kitchen having a meltdown like mom what why are you treating me this way my boyfriend just died and her mom's like what is something something and then she says like something else like he was the light of like of my life and the son of my some cheesy thing and her sister goes is that a glee quote yeah and she's like shut up you know like whatever because it is like she'll pull things like of my life and the son of my, some cheesy thing. And her sister goes, is that a Glee quote? Yeah.

And she's like, shut up. And like, whatever, because it is like, she'll pull things from Glee and say them like in real life. And it's the creepiest thing. It's like,

who are you? Yeah. It's very interesting. Speaking of rehearsing for things, I need to write my vows. Oh God. I know. That sounds hard.

So you guys are writing like, like your own. I didn't even, so I hear the thing the other day, Sarah was like, so when are you guys are writing like your own. I didn't even. So here's the thing. The other day Sarah was like, so when are you going to start writing your vows? And I was like, oh, so we're doing that? Because in my mind I was like, the things that I need to focus on is the speech that I need to give at the wedding. I think I'm the one who's in charge of having to be like, you know, thank you to mom and dad and sarah's parents and

you know the person who marries us and everyone who came from a far long journey from all the way across the country nashville tennessee nashville tennessee and then she threw that on me and i was like fuck i gotta it's two speeches i gotta memorize sometimes i think don't sometimes people write their vows together. Yeah. Maybe you guys could do that. I'm just so competitive that like I want mine to be better than hers. You know?

Yeah, good luck. Like remember when we went to Ben and Jess's wedding? Oh yeah. You're like, Ben out vowed her. Oh yeah. And it was.

But it's Ben. It's Ben, exactly. Of course he did. That's what I should do. Ben's an author for crying out loud. He is an author. I should employ Ben to write my vows. I feel like you could probably get him on the cheap.

Definitely. Definitely. He's like in the audience like saying the vows as you say them. He's holding up the cue cards. It's like SNL. Okay. So I watched a new show on Showtime called The Man Who Fell to Earth. Have you heard of that one?

Oh, no. I don't have Showtime. That's the problem. I know. I think I got to get it. This is like the third time you've said a Showtime show is great. I know. They're making good stuff.

Like the one they did with Bryan Cranston in New Orleans. That was really good. All right. An alien arrives with a mission to learn to become human and find the one woman who can help save his species. Together, they discover

that in order to save his world, they must first save ours. The man who fell to Earth. There's only one episode out right now. Maybe when you listen to this, there'll be two. It's super interesting. And like how it starts is he's like giving a keynote address.

He seems like he is the Steve Jobs of this world. Okay. And he's got like some new tech. He's showing everyone there. And then he's like, maybe I should start addressing the rumors. And he's like, like that. I'm,

you know, going through all these things that like dangerous aliens are. And he's like, they're all true. And then like zips back to like the day he got to earth and stuff. Um, and like started to learn our like culture and words and all this kind of stuff.

And it's super interesting. And the cast is really good. I think it gonna be a good one i think okay i think you're gonna like it too because you like you like those space ones too love my mother she has got to lay off the weed i was facing her the other day and she was drinking a celsius you know the energy drinks i love those love my favorite energy drink give me a ding and she was drinking celsius and energy drink. Give me a ding. And she was drinking Celsius and I go, you're drinking a Celsius? And she was like,

is that what this is? And I was like, yeah. And she goes, I guess so. I love them. And I was like, that's so funny. Like I've been drinking those forever.

Like, you know, I can't believe you like that energy drink. You don't like energy drinks. She goes, this is an energy drink. And I was like, yes, there's 200 milligrams

of caffeine in that. She goes, oh my God, I've been drinking like four these days. I was like, please tell me you're exaggerating she was like no literally i drink like four day my fridge is stocked and i was like mom your heart's gonna literally explode she because she already takes concerta every day which is like adderall for her adhd or whatever and on top of that she's drinking coffee in the morning and then four cans of Celsius.

That's 800 milligrams of caffeine. I'm surprised she doesn't drink the weed drinks. I don't think she likes those. We get sent them all the time. You like them? I don't like weed at all. I don't like those drinks. I just have them here for when people come over

and they're like... Do they have energy? Are they energy drinks? I have no clue. Oh my God. Anyway, so I told her. I was like, okay okay you could only have one of those a day and you really shouldn't be drinking them every day guess what she's been drinking at least one every day since i've been here yeah she is crazy let her live her life no let her live her life no i watched kind of an older movie it came out a couple years ago i feel like like, called Vivarium. Never heard of it. It's funny because I've been watching this open range thing with Imogen Poots.

And then she's in this movie with Jesse Eisenberg. Okay. I put it on. Fuck, it's creepy. Here's the tag. A young couple looking for the perfect home finds themselves trapped in a mysterious labyrinth in a mysterious labyrinth like neighborhood of identical houses vivarium your home forever so they're like a young couple they walk into like this real estate office that has a new set of you

know like track homes that they're calling yonder. And the guy who's like presenting, it's like really creepy, like really, really weird. And he's like, you want to go look at the houses? Like, let's go look at the houses. And so they're like, okay. So they follow him in their car to this place and they get there. They show all the houses are the same color, all green. They all look exactly the same. Like there is no difference. Then all of a sudden the guy that's like the real estate agent like leaves. And then they're like, all right, well, we should get in the car and leave too. So they get in their car and they try to leave and they can't.

Like every time they try to drive out, like they just go back past the house. Weird. And then they get stuck there. And then like after a couple days, a baby gets left with them. And the baby like ages like really fast. this is like a fucking alien baby or something that was happening pretty cool twist it was so weird that i had to like look it up as one of those where i was like what does this all mean i'm not smart enough and then when i realized what it all meant and like the significance of these like baby birds who die in the beginning and what that like signifies pretty fucking good pretty fucking creepy okay but yeah i mean jesse eisenberg and

image and pooch are both great actors so can't be all bad wow all right yeah i like that okay have you seen the abercrombie and Fitch documentary? No. Ugh! But I just know that they talk about, they explain what malls are at some point. Oh. And that's beautiful. It's everything.

Like, mall culture was such a thing. Yeah, so that doesn't exist anymore? Like, kids not go to the mall? I don't think so. Where do they go? I'm not sure, to tell you the truth, but I really don't think malls are like anything like what they were. Something tells me you were like big Abercrombie and Fitch guy.

Surprisingly, no. What? Yeah, I was more of a Gap kid. Huh. Fascinating. Were you an Abercrombie and Fitch guy? Oh, major. Really?

More Hollister gal. Yeah. Which was owned by Abercrombie and Fitch. Yeah. But I loved both for sure um but what's funny about it to me is like it's like almost like very your aesthetic now like chunky knit cardigans and inspired by like outdoorsmen and like hunting and like all that shit you know what I mean like I just I could just totally see you wearing Abercrombie

which is so funny but it is I'm halfway through the documentary, and it is fascinating to me. And I'm sure that's because I literally lived it. You know what I mean? There's this whole angle of how the guy that was CEO and ran the whole thing, I mean, literally, he controlled all of it. All of it was his insane genius or whatever to the extent of, for instance, something they would say is you know something that they did different as a mall store was like he went in and was like i want wood

blinds on the windows like and normally when you walk through a mall the whole like a huge thing for stores and malls is window displays to draw you in and they literally did the opposite by like putting shutters on so that you can't see so that you have to go in to see what is in the store like that's such a genius branding like tactic you know what I mean to get people in and then of course like the male the you know shirtless males standing in the front the models and the Santa hats I don't remember that oh my god yeah during Christmas they wore Santa hats and Abercrombie jeans and that's it and of course you can like smell the Abercrombie cologne from like a mile down the mall hallway and that draws you in like and then they said like the music you know you can hear the music from

so far down the mall that you just like knew where to go there's just like all these tactics to draw people to the store that I mean as a kid and also there's no way my mom picked up on any of that like you just like don't pick up on any of it but it does draw you in and I was even thinking like it's kind of crazy that as a 13 14 year old my mom took me shopping in a store where there were like shirtless dudes just all over the walls like that wasn't even like a thing like we just didn't even really register it you know what I mean like it's pretty fascinating so that's one angle of it is just like you know the branding of it and how it drew people in and what it was and all that. And then there's all these other like terrible angles of like how, you know, they were so exclusive to the point where they would literally only hire people that were beautiful and white and blonde with blue eyes. Like it was just very discriminatory, you know, discriminatory, discriminatory, discriminatory.

Thank you. And obviously that objection. You asked the question. discriminatory discriminatory discriminatory thank you and obviously that objection you asked the question obviously that all comes out like and there's there were court cases filed they've been sued by past employees that say they were fired because of their race or they were put in the back because they didn't look a certain way and like all this crazy shit it's pretty fascinating it's definitely worth a watch especially if you grew up wearing abercrombie shopping there in the mall, like mall culture.

It's just really interesting. Is Abercrombie still a thing? Oh, it's still a thing. I have friends that still shop there. Yeah. It's crazy. Well, hey, listen, if they got good shit, I mean, hey. Yeah, it's just wild.

Do they still have the shirtless models? Yeah, the Anglo-Saxon male. I got to say, I don't frequent the mall. Yeah. So I'm not sure. Here's the thing. I think a big part of mall culture going away is online shopping, right? For sure.

Why do you need to go to a mall when it's all available on your laptop and it comes right to your house? So I think that's probably a big part of it. But I mean, it's just crazy. I do remember as a kid, it's like that's where you go to hang out. The minute I got my license, that's immediately where I wanted to drive to. it's like that's where you go to hang out the minute i got my license that's immediately where i wanted to drive to yeah we would we would after dances go to the mall and go have like ice cream at marie calendar yeah yeah hang out in the food court for an hour and then like our mall had a movie theater in it and then you go see a movie and you go hang out in the mall you know it's just

crazy yeah ours was called the del monte shopping center but we called it DMC oh very cool well where you going DMC we're gonna go DMC what you doing what are you guys doing well where do the kids go now that's the thing this is the problem with the world they go to their phones or whatnot you know it's true they don't get to experience the shenanigans you're right you know they don't get to raise hell yeah and that's why there's no more dinner bells dangling because they don't have to come home because they're just fucking on the couch on their ipad damn we are those old people oh a thousand percent were those old people did you do any outdoorsy stuff i did a lot of outdoorsy stuff as a kid well i was at the barn with my

horses 24 7 we would like go and we would trespass a lot because we lived in monterey's beautiful we'd go up into like the carmel valley like highlands and like or big sir and we would like jump fences and like go and it was a it was all a ruse to go smoke pot somewhere actually that's all it was and here's's the thing. Now weed's illegal here. What do these kids do? Kids need to go smoke pot illegally somewhere. I want you a better person. I don't know.

I watched a really good samurai slasher. Huh. A good samurai slasher, you say? It's in the vein of Kill Bill. Okay. It's called Kate. Have you heard of this? I feel like I have heard of it.

Who's in it? It's on Netflix. Main character's Mary Elizabeth Winstead. I feel like the thing that she's known for the most is Scott Pilgrim versus the world. I don't know if you've ever gotten to that. No. She's also in 10 Cloverfield Lane, also in Birds of Prey. So she is like the superhero in this. And she plays

an assassin. Here's the tag. A female assassin has 24 hours to get vengeance on her poisoner before she dies. Kate. So it's Mary Elizabeth Winstead and then Woody Harrelson is like her mentor.

The guy who like turned her into the assassin. Got it. And she's like a badass sniper and then like something bad happens and she gets poisoned and then it's just balls to the wall. Hour and a half of her just fucking everybody up. balls to the wall, hour and a half of her just fucking everybody up. And then it becomes quite a female empowering movie because one, the main character, the protagonist, is beating the fuck out of all these dudes. And then the other thing is that she kind of teams up

with this little girl named Annie. They kind of together beat ass. So it's cool in that way. And then the other thing is like the cinematography, the camera work is so cool in these fight scenes. The things that they're doing are so badass. Something will happen in a fight scene and like the entire camera flips upside down, you know,

as if like you're kind of like in the scene with it. That's cool. The person flips upside down, so all of a sudden you flip upside down. Anyways, they do a lot of really cool camera work where I was like, this is fucking awesome. I think for all the ladies out there, check out Kate.

It's on Netflix. Very cool. Your chair is so squeaky. Maybe this chair could be louder. Is this the chair you always sit in? Yeah. Well, yes. Why is it so squeaky today? I don't know. I've never heard this before. I know.

Oh, you know who else is in that? Michelle Hilsman. Fucking love him. Okay, that sold me. Yeah, you see him have sex, actually. Love that for me. See him go to pound town. He's so hot.

Deep dick him. Is he married? I think so. Damn. Yeah. Well, it's Hollywood. It won't last, so. Still got a chance. would you serve his wife papers oh yeah oh yeah you know what comes out Friday right or

tomorrow new Ozark so you know what's out nowark. Yeah, so next week we'll be talking Ozark. Oh, yeah, we will. Ozark. Yeah, we are. Ozark, yeah. I'm so sad that it's the end. I am too, but I feel like

they can still do a spinoff. You think? I feel like they can. Okay, yeah. The end of whatever episode was last was insane.

Yeah, that was Julia Garner's brother or cousin or whatever gets shot, right? Yeah. I think cousin. Yeah. It was insane. Yeah, that was Julia Garner's brother gets, or cousin or whatever gets shot, right? Yep. I think cousin. Yeah. It was insane.

I've got a favorite thing from Sarah. Okay. I was supposed to tell you about. New Pixar film called Turning Red. Oh, cute. I'm not sure if you've seen that. Mm-mm. She loved it.

She thought it was so cute. Here's the tag. A 13-year-old girl named Melinin turns into a giant red panda whenever she gets too excited. She said it's really cute. But Sarah loves all animated things. Yeah, she does. Because she just wants to be a Disney princess, which is going to happen one day. I believe that.

And that money is going to pay for our au pair. Poor Sarah. gonna happen one day i believe that and that money is gonna pay for our au pair oh poor sarah why poor sarah sarah's involved in this oh gosh i have a least favorite thing oh and i hate to do this and i was so excited about this okay and it was it was just sub-bad. The movie is called Moonfall. Oh. Did you talk about this last week? I maybe said I wanted to watch it. Maybe. Halle Berry's in it. And then John Bradley who played Sam in Game of Thrones. Okay. You know? Yep. And then Patrick Wilson who's been in a bunch of stuff. Michael Pena is in it. So the cast is very, very good.

And premise-wise, it sounds awesome. A mysterious force knocks the moon from its orbit around Earth and sends it hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it. Moonfall. So it starts out with Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson doing a spacewalk. They're like fixing like a satellite or something. Cool. And all of a sudden like crazy weird cloud alien thing comes and like overtakes the space shuttle,

fucks everything up, like knock one of the astronauts off into space and he's going to die. Then Patrick Wilson's character, Brian Harper, has to like figure out a way, land the shuttle with like no electronics, which he's gonna die then patrick wilson's character brian harper has to like figure out a way land the shuttle with like no electronics which he's able to do and then there's like a fall from grace for him because he's the only one who's like there was this like big black crazy cloud that like fucked us up and they all think he's crazy so he's been disgraced and hallie bear is like knocked out at times so she really couldn't substantiate the whole thing. Anyways, come to find out, it's some crazy alien thing on the moon and the moon is hollow

and it's really an alien space vehicle and it is the dumbest fucking movie in the world. The premise sounds cool, but then the acting's bad. Halle Berry is bad in this. Really? And Halle Berry won an Oscar. Yikes.

You know? She won an Oscar. Oh no. It's just so terrible that you should not watch it. But I fucking rented it. I paid money for it because I was so excited about it. Damn. So anyways, don't go see that.

Bummer. I know because it was like, oh, it's so good. Yeah. Oh, Elon Musk buying Twitter. Yeah. Do we care about it was like oh it looks so good. Yeah. Elon Musk buying Twitter. Yeah do we care about that? I think he's so funny. Do you? I think he's hilarious. That's going to be a controversial take right there. He tweeted today

saw he said I'm going to buy Coca-Cola and I'm going to put the cocaine back in it. I saw that too. Is that real though? No. Did he really tweet that though? Oh I think so. I don't think he really tweeted that. I think he did. It's funny as hell if he did. I mean, here's the thing. Is it ridiculous that he bought Twitter? Yeah. To me, Elon Musk seems like a very smart guy. He's the richest man in

the world, right? I think he is. He says Putin's got more money than him, but whatever. Documented richest man in the world and i think that buying twitter is a bad business move it seems like absolutely a bygone platform for social media right he was smart he would buy tiktok i don't know if facebook would ever sell i don't understand it it just seems like a flex i think it is a flex but he he did tweet that. He did tweet it. It's fucking hilarious. Real magic is only a sip away. Actual slogan of Coca-Cola. I love that so much.

I mean, listen, I've seen all the shit where like, I guess at one point, like the UN or somebody said, this is how much it costs to like fight the global climate crisis. Yeah. And that's like exactly how much you just bought Twitter for. Yeah. for yeah and that's like well that totally contradicts everything you've ever said you know what i mean like yeah i get that a bunch of electric cars yeah yeah so like i totally feel that aspect of it i just think he's hilarious and i mean listen twitter's dead who cares about twitter i just don't understand it just seems like 44 billion dollars for a flex for a flex it is that's exactly what it is and to me

that's like that just goes against what he is which is a shrewd businessman maybe there's something we don't know maybe about twitter i guess i don't know put the cocaine back it is that is funny i just wanted to hurry up with going to mars already somebody else said can you buy at mcdonald's and fix all the ice cream machines? Have you ever had one of those ice creams? No, because the machine is always fucking broken. I don't know if I ever had one.

I actually have, but nine times out of ten, it's pretty good. Especially when you're like drunk as hell and you like need a little ice cream. Yeah.

And they're like a dollar. Yeah, when I'm drunk as hell, I don't need ice cream. I do. I need ice cream. When I'm drunk as hell, I need't need ice cream, though. I do. I need ice cream. When I'm drunk as hell, I need a Big Mac. No, no, no. I don't need those.

You don't need those? No. I like fries and ice cream. Really? Yeah. Dip the fry in the ice cream. I know. Yummy.

Anything else? Do you want some Muzak's? I'm bored with Muzak's. We should go out and some Orville Peck. Oh, yeah. He's really good. Is it Orville or Orville? Orville. Orville.

Orville. It's all wrong. I mean, that's how Noah says it in their friends, so I just assume that's correct. Like Redenbacher? Yeah. Well, it was fun having you come over. Thanks. The time really just flew by.
