Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Pumpkin Spice Frat Star

Episode Date: September 23, 2020

On today’s episode, Wells is revealing the story of how he got kicked out of his fraternity which involves a doobie and tighty whities. Plus, he shares this all while wearing a Britney Spears tee shirt because, why not? Over in Nashville, Brandi is thoroughly enjoying the start of pumpkin spice season even though she’s not a fan of pumpkin spice. The hosts discuss potential Halloween costumes for this year and their best costumes of years past including Taco Belle and the kids of Stranger Things. They’re also reviewing the winners of this year’s virtual Emmys from their old fave thing, Schitt’s Creek, to some potential new fave things that they want to check out. On a somewhat related note, they both really miss getting wasted at parties. Brandi and Wells are also chatting about the evils (and not so evils) of social media, their favorite Dane Cook bit, a must-watch Zoom table read, and some favorite new music!

Hi. Sup. Sup, bruh. What you know good. What it. Hey. Sup. Sup, bruh. What you know good? What you know good? Yeah, I don't know why, but that was something that I said a lot in college. Well, I do know why, because I went to school in Mississippi, and people

say weird shit over there. Apparently. Yeah. What you know good? I need to ask my friend Kirsten who went to Ole Miss if she's ever heard that phrase. She went to Ole to old miss yeah when was she there she's like way younger than you fuck you 27 or something i'm a legend there though i was well i i mean this year they really called in some favors to me like what last year they had me do theotty chant, the jumbotron at a football game, which actually that wasn't called in favor.

That was me wanting to do that. And then I was a part of the virtual graduation ceremony. Was Sarah a part of any of these things? Sarah was part of the first one, the graduation one. That's what I thought. All right, you know, listen, you know, it's hard. I can't live up to Sarah's part of the first one. The graduation one. That's what I thought. All right. You know, listen. You know, it's hard. I can't live up to Sarah's reputation, but dag nabbit, she didn't go to Ole Miss.

All right? So I was part of the graduation ceremony with none other than Morgan Freeman. Wow. And then they made me do some other video. I don't even know. But anyways, was Kirsten, did she play sports or was she a sorority or something? She was a sorority, but I know nothing about sororities. And even though she told me a million times which one she was in, she said she was in the cool one.

Okay. Was she a KD? What is that? I don't know. Kappa Delta. There's, there's from when I was. That sounds right. KDs were good. Tridel don't know. Kappa Delta. There's, from when I was. That sounds right. KDs were good.

Tridel's were good. That doesn't sound familiar. I don't even know. Kappa Delta sounds familiar. KD, yeah. Where's she from? I don't, I don't get the sorority thing. I think she, her mom lives in Florida now, but I think they, I think she grew up in Arkansas.

Yeah. Okay. I was in a fraternity. The sorority thing came up because one of those hinge guys. Yeah. That she connected with was from old, like went to Ole Miss and I was in a fraternity. The sorority thing came up because one of those hinge guys that she connected with went to Ole Miss, and he was in whatever the dorky fraternity is. Apparently, there's a dorky fraternity. Of course.

And he was in that, and it was like, whoa, you were in the cool sorority. And she was like, yeah, he's in the dorky one, so pass. I know, but here's the thing as i've grown older i think that if you were even in one of those you were a dork uh yeah and guess what i was in a fraternity that was some fucking dork shit paying for my friends they did kick me out i've ever told told the story of them kicking me out i don't't think. It's a good story. Should I tell it? Yeah. Okay. So first of all, I was a second semester. No, I had to pledge my sophomore year because I mispledged my freshman year because of my sister's wedding. Okay. So I pledged Sigma Chi,

going to call them out because this is some bullshit. Okay. Pledge Sigma Chi as a sophomore with a bunch of freshmen. So I'm older than everybody that I'm in the pledge class with. Right. And like to get in, they make you do all this stupid stuff. Okay. First of all, you have to pay a lot of money to be in the fraternity. Right. We had this list of every active's name, and you had to go and, like, become friends with every active, and they had to, like, sign their name next to, like, the printed out name.

And then you had to cross that off, and you had to go through every single person. There's, like, 150 people in this fucking fraternity. I was also just trying to not fail out of school. I was like, guys, I don't have time for this shit. Also, I'm as old as most of you guys because I was a year older, right? So they do a thing called a pledge retreat. And so they're like, all right, guys,

we're going to go the Blue Ridge Mountains. We're going to go camping. All right, we're really going to get to know each other. You guys are going to have a bonding experience. I was like, dope. All right, go on camping. Love it. We drive our happy asses up to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Nice cabin. We're all hanging asses up to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Nice cabin. We're all hanging out, drinking beers and stuff. And so I go on a little nature walk with some of my buds, and we light up a dube. All right? Because that's what you do when you go camping, right? You smoke the dubes. An older member of the fraternity catches us, and they like what are you doing and we're like we're smoking weed what are you doing you should be smoking weed we shouldn't be smoking what the

fuck are you talking about we're camping with our fraternity what do you mean and they're like dude you can't be smoking weed here I was like I'm so confused So they have a meeting. This is the first day. Okay. The first day we get there at camping. It's like a seven hour drive. They go, you guys got smoking weed, have to go home. We're not going home. We just got here.

We're fucking baked. We're not driving anywhere. They're like, you need to go home. So we go home they have a fucking panel of older pledges that are judging me led by a guy named major yost okay he was like an alumni he was probably like in his 40s he was part of the rotc so there's this panel and i have to go in front of it and state my case. Okay. By the way, went to the panel so baked because I was a sophomore in college and that's what you do. Were you the biggest stoner in college?

I was such a stoner in high school and college. It's so funny now because I can't, if I smoke, I can't do it. I can't do it at all. And now it's legal. So I go from the panel. You don't seem like the stoner type well oh dude i followed fish around man widespread panic string cheese incident dave matthews band i go in front of this panel with all these guys are my fucking age or like a year older because remember i'm a sophomore right and they're like are you sorry for what you did and i I was like, yeah, I guess.

And then Major Yost, who by the way is like 50 years old, don't know why he's in there. He goes, are you sorry that you did it or are you sorry that you got caught? I'm sorry that I got caught, bro. Well, you now have to become a second semester pledge. Okay. So I'm already a year older than everybody else in my pledge class. And now I have to become a second semester pledge. Okay. So I'm already a year older than everybody else

in my pledge class. And now I have to wait an entire semester before I can become a full-fledged Sigma Chi. I'm like, guys, this is so weird. I'm not sure if I want to be a part of a fraternity that doesn't want to smoke pot when they go camping. This sounds like a cult. So they make me a second semester pledge.

I told you it's expensive to become a fraternity member there. Yeah. It's like $1,500 or something like a semester. What? Yeah, it's crazy not money. So my dad would write me a check for the dues, and then I was supposed to cash it and then go pay. I was like, screw these guys.

I'm going to spend this money on myself. So that entire second semester, I'm living large. It's funny how $1,500 can really go a long way when you're- I was about to say. Yeah. In college, that goes far. Dude, I was the- All the-

The entire fraternity loved me because I was buying drinks for everyone, shots for everyone, pot for everybody. I was the king of the freaking world. So- You get some weed, and you get some weed, and you get some weed, and you get some weed. I was the Oprah of the douchebag club. Literally. I never pay my dues, right?

So we're at a party. Oh, it was a pledge auction, okay? I was dressed up, nothing but tighty-whities and a toga because I was going to be auctioned off to the sororities for money. It was raising money for charity. Sure, that's what they want you to think. So I'm about to walk on the stage and get auctioned off for some money, right? When the president of the fraternity, I think his name was Brett. Oh, God.

Brett Person, Brett Pearson. Such a dork. He had a terrible haircut. So he comes up to me and he goes hey man you need to leave and i was like why don't you leave and they go you haven't paid dues this this semester you have to leave and i had written them a check and so they go that check bounced oh my gosh so i lose it i'm so drunk going on stage to get auctioned off i'm like fuck you dude i quit i leave they're like yeah you can quit but you still lost money i'm like no i don't peace out so then

like you can't quit you're kicked out and i was like whatever great i'm kicked out so if you go online i think it's i last time i checked i think it says I still owe like $1,500 to the Sigma guy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, never pay. I know. We'll never pay. Never. Anyways, that's my story of getting kicked out of a fraternity. Wow. That's actually pretty good. All right.

Don't take that What's the problem with the world today? I feel like I have to walk everything back Yeah, but you don't I don't Listen, fraternities are great for making friends and stuff And now that I'm in my 30s and I look, I'm like, I didn't need to do that. It's probably good for like networking in terms of like getting jobs afterwards.

But like no one in my fraternity was like, you know, going to help me with anything in radio or television, you know? So it's like, yeah, if I wanted to become an insurance adjuster, then, you know, Preston Lee's father could have helped me out. Preston Lee was the president of that fraternity. God, it's so funny how I remember all that shit. I know. How do you? I have no clue. I have no memory before like the year 2013, I feel.

Really? Yeah. It feels like fall. Give me a ding for that. Definitely feels like fall. Not in LA, does it? Yeah. The temp today is like 75. Oh, wow. I thought it was really hot there still. No. LA, does it? Yeah. The temp today is like 75.

Oh, wow. I thought it was really hot there still. No. No, here it's amazing. It's been like 70 and cool, like sweatshirt weather in the morning. And then by noon, it's sunny and t-shirt weather and low humidity, a nice cool breeze. Leaves are starting to fall. My pony's starting to grow his winter coat.

Like, it's just really great vibes over here. That's nice. Yeah, it's fantastic. I love fall. Who doesn't love fall? Hot take. I hate pumpkin spice. Really?

Yeah. Are you a pumpkin spice fan? No. I'm not a go to the coffee store man oh yeah you hate coffee no why do you say that you can get pumpkin spice anything candles room spray pumpkin freaking cheesecake i don't know there's pumpkin everything i just don't like pumpkin well also it doesn't taste like what pumpkins taste like. What do pumpkins taste like?

I mean, I don't know. It's a gourd of some sort. I don't think I like it. I've had pumpkin soup. It's pretty good. Pumpkin spice really is like nutmeg and cinnamon and basic bitch. I like those things. I do like pumpkin spice season, though.

Yes, exactly. That's where I was going with that. Are you going to go to a pumpkin patch? You know, I probably will. I took Astra last year because she was a puppy and it was cute photo op. But I'll probably take Rye for again,

like a cute photo op. God, Sarah and I got to think of a Halloween costume because we've now set a precedent for like killing it on Halloween. I know. Of the three that we've done we did stranger things that was iconic by the way which because you just like it was out it was at your party i know it was at my house and like my backdrop made like e-news and people magazine or some shit

yeah that's true um so then you did taco bell Yeah. So the first one was I was 11 and she was Dustin from Stranger Things. And then we did Taco Bell where I was Belle from Disney Beauty and the Beast and she was a taco. Love that. What was the third? What was last year? I was Freddie Mercury and she was David Bowie. That one was really good too. It was good.

Honestly, that one might have been the best. Just in terms of like execution, for sure it was. I think so. Guess what Rye and I are going to be. I don't know what. Part of me wants to keep it a secret until the big reveal,

but I'll let the YFTers in on it, I suppose. Okay. We're going to be Jane and Tarzan. How good is that? You just want him to have his shirt off. Well, yeah, and he's got the long hair right now. It's going to be great. He's like freaked about it. He's like, I got to hit the gym.

Yeah. Because I'm like, yeah, you just got to wear like a little leaf. And he's like, no. No. We were like scrolling through costumes and he like, his favorites were all the ones with like the most clothing. And I'm like, no, no, no. That's not how Halloween works.

Halloween is the one day a year where you wear like the least amount of clothing as possible. And it's completely acceptable. Any YFTers have any great ideas, shoot them our way. Yeah. Cause we need some. I mean, honestly, you got to dress up. Even if it's just for a cute pic.

For sure. I was hoping. Never mind. I'll probably cut this. I was hoping that we were going to be married and I wanted to do Adam's family. That would be very cute. But you could save that for next year. Yeah, exactly.

Did you watch the Emmys last night? Who watches the Emmys unless you're nominated for an Emmy? I watched. And I was not nominated. Was Sarah? No. No. Well, it's like her peers.

It's like, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did not watch the Emmys. Tell me about it. Well. Zendaya won, right? I know about that. Yeah.

Bachelor in Paradise snubbed again. It's fine. Whatever. Who won that category? I think Masked Singer won. Would you consider Bachelor in Paradise a reality competition show? No. You're competing for love, I guess.

Yeah, but I wouldn't consider it that. Yeah, I don't know. And that's what the category is? I think so. Here's what I learned about the Emmys. It was a bummer, too, because I was supposed to be, if the world wasn't fucking ruined, I would be on the red carpet interviewing fabulous people. Yeah, totally.

And then I'd be wasted at the party. Yeah, totally. I miss getting wasted at parties. I kind of do too. I can't believe I'm saying that. Dude, I love getting wasted. I got wasted last night for like no reason. I love getting wasted.

I do. Anyways, here's what I learned. Schitt's Creek was as good as we all knew it was, which, by the way, we had Schitt's Creek as a favorite thing so long ago. So long ago. So, I mean, you're fine. It's whatever. Also, how crazy is it? Imagine Eugene Levy, amazing actor, been like in all the Christopher Guest mockumentaries, you know, waiting for Guffman and A Mighty Win, all that kind of stuff.

Just amazing actor. I'm sure is one, you know, he's an American pie. He's just an amazing actor. And then his son comes along. You know, you hear of like big actors and their kids are kind of like worthless, you know. Dan Levy comes along and he fucking writes this amazing show and he casts his sister and his dad in it. You know, like. And then they just cleaned up last night.

That's amazing. It is amazing. I've met Dan Levy. Keeping it a fam. Yeah, I met Dan Levy one time. And he's so awesome. And just very handsome. You know?

Big eyebrows. Gotta love it. Here's what I learned from the Emmys last night. I need to watch The Watchmen. Because I don't watch that show. And me neither. And I have heard good things. Yeah.

And I want to want a bunch of shit. So that's going to be next to my list. Do you want me to go through the winner's list just so we know what everything was? Okay. Drama series succession. I mean, duh. Yeah. Supporting actress in a drama, Julia Garner from Ozark.

Ruth, come on. Supporting actor in a drama series, Billy Cudrup, The Morning Show. Writing for drama series, Succession. Lead actress in a drama, Zendaya Euphoria, which by the way, that's a show that I cannot get on board with. I know. I feel like it's targeted at a younger audience. Yeah. I watched half of it and Zendaya is amazing in it. Yeah. Lead actor in a drama, Jeremy Strong, succession. Competition program,

I was wrong, RuPaul's Drag Race. Wins every time. I mean, as it should. That's true. Sarah was on RuPaul's Drag Race, so maybe she did win an Emmy. I don't even know.

Miley was also on as a guest. Everyone's an Emmy winner. Everyone's an Emmy winner. Everyone's an Emmy winner. Emmy winner. Yeah. Limited series Watchmen. Lead actor in Limited, Mark Ruffalo.

I know this much is true. Did you watch that? No, I didn't. It's tough, man. I mean, he's amazing in it because he plays both characters, but it's tough. It's tough. Lead actress in Limited, Regina King, Watchmen. And then comedy series shits supporting

actress in a comedy annie murphy shits supporting actor in a comedy series dan levy shits wow director for comedy shits wow lead actor in a comedy eugene levy shits damn lead actress in a comedy katherine o'hara shits that. That is crazy. Fucking bonkers, dude. So what did we learn? If you haven't watched Schitt's Creek, go watch it. Wow. And apparently we need to watch Watchmen. I could get on board with that.

It looks cool. All right, what do you got? Tell me you've seen the Social Dilemma documentary. I haven't. It's been on my list of things I want to see, though. Wells. It's insane. Okay, for those that don't know, I feel like a lot of people are on board

with this already, but for those that don't know, there's this Netflix documentary that's out, it's called the social dilemma. And it's basically all about the dark side of the internet and social media. Usually when I watch something like this, you kind of think like, Oh, this is like a little bit like conspiracy theory ish where all these people are just like bashing it because, you know, everyone's got an opinion and whatever. But every single person that they interview on this documentary either worked at Apple, Google, Instagram, Facebook, and there might be a handful that worked on other apps or whatever.

Like they're all people that were like very high up at these companies. Like they interview people like a couple of the guys, one of the guys invented, he invented the infinite scroll. Another one invented the like button. Like he's the creator of the like button on Facebook. Like these people are crazy. Now they're not working there anymore. And they're coming out saying like, the internet is a dark place. It we're spying on everything you do we're constantly surveilling you and basically like you don't know it but we're influencing you to do every single thing that you do and make decisions that you make also you know when someone's like i don't know the answer to something i'll just google it and you just think like whatever you got what

answer you got is fact like we just take that as fact because Google said it. Okay. One of the craziest things they share in this documentary. When you Google something, you know, like you start typing in a question and you'll type like three words and then like a bunch of options pop up to finish the sentence. If you type in climate change is, Google will pop up like 10 different things, like finish your sentence of what you're trying to search. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, auto population. Yeah, that.

So depending on where you live and depending on your previous search history, they will fill those in differently. So if Wells types that in in California, something entirely different will come up than if I type it here in Tennessee. Okay, let's try it out. What should we type in?

I don't think we should do climate change because that's the example they used in the thing. I wonder what else we could type. Donald Trump is. Okay, perfect. I got Donald Trump is your president song. Donald Trump is your president lyrics. I got Donald Trump is real.

That's your first one? And then I got Donald Trump is the 45th president. Yeah, that's on here, which is lower. Donald Trump is your president is a song. Stop it. Okay, just type in donald trump and see what comes up okay hold on it really wants me to listen to the song donald trump is your president song oh huh interesting and then i get donald trump twitter donald trump age donald

trump net worth and donald trump president song lyrics i gotta listen to this fucking song man i get donald trump news donald trump parents, Donald Trump height, Donald Trump children, and Donald Trump wife. Interesting. But like people in Tennessee love him. So it's like I feel like they love him like, I don't know, like they just want to know personal shit about him, not like the real shit he's got going on. Anyway, the whole point of that was like... Donald Trump is your president, and if you like it or not, he the energy you had with Barack. Cause you know this Trump train don't stop till Baydota. Please come try to take my block.

You wanna impeach him? I guess that's what you do when you can't beat him. That need to dead that. And I'm coming through your hood in my red hat. And they said they looking for me, I said where? I'm coming to your hood and my red hat i'm coming to your hood with my red hat well you know what so here's the thing brandy i'm so happy that google did that to me because you love that song now like you know we're sitting here complaining about how google like knows everything about you but you know what came out of that. That shit made me laugh.

Great. And it was great content for the podcast. Yeah. Basically just saying like same with Facebook. Like Facebook will feed you in your timeline and in like your searches and stuff based on them tracking your search history and knowing like what kind of a person you are basically. Like they were saying, like, if you're somebody that has researched conspiracy theories in the past, they'll continue to feed you conspiracy theory, like news and propaganda and shit like that. You know, then it goes deeper into saying like on Instagram and Facebook, they have algorithms that literally compute things to make you stay on the screen longer. Like that's the goal of every app is to keep you scrolling and keep you on there because then that's how

they make money because they run ads or whatnot. So it's just crazy, very eyeopening to like the things that I think, I feel like we know that the internet spies on us and we know that it tracks everything that we do and we just kind of turned a blind eye to it. But I think having all these people that have worked at these companies kind of say like, this is something that's probably not okay and we should probably figure out how to regulate this like ASAP before this turns into something really bad. Okay. I haven't seen it.

So I'm speaking out of turn here. Okay. I, of course, know that all these apps are data mining for us. I know that, but I don't care. And I'll tell you why. Because when Instagram shows me some shit that I want to buy, I go out and go buy it, dude. Like I am like, for sure sure i guess what's the alternative that it doesn't know what you like

so then it's like less interesting i don't yeah i don't know watch the documentary i know i'm gonna watch it this week next week i'll come back it's like harmless in that sense of like hey you should buy these shoes and like yeah now i have sick new shoes that i like exactly but it's a whole another thing when it starts to like influence different parts of the country on who to vote for and what causes are and aren't right and what you know like policies are and aren't right or real or whatever I don't know I just feel like it could it could definitely be a slippery slope yeah okay so anyway highly recommend okay you liked it yeah I loved it I want more I was more. We watched a movie called Antebellum last night. Have you heard of that?

No. It's like from the people that brought you like Get Out and Us. Or if it isn't, it definitely seems like it. It stars Janelle Monae. Ooh. Who doesn't love Janelle Monae? She's so hot, by the way. She's just so cool.

Yeah. I once saw her at Bonnaroo. They wheeled her out on a dolly and she was wearing a straight jacket and her mouth was duct taped over. And then she started playing in the straight jacket whilst in the dolly. And I was like, dude, you're cool. Whilst. Anyways. Okay.

So here's Annabella. Here's Annabella. Successful author Veronica Henley finds herself trapped in a horrifying reality and must uncover the mind-bending mystery before it's too late. So she's like a real smart, successful black woman in modern times. And then somehow she's like a slave in the old South. And so you're like, is this time travel? Like like what happened here is this like reincarnation real good is it you yeah came out in 2020 it's got bad reviews and i don't get it it's really good and it's also timely just in terms of like social climate right now you know yeah annabelle you know who else is also in it jenna malone she was in like

oh i love her yeah love her yeah she was in for those people don't know her by name she was in a hunger games she was in a lot of things she was in one of my favorite movies of all time what called life as a house did you ever see that movie no oh my god it's a tear jerker and i don't cry and i watched it because at the time i was obsessed with hayden christensen oh yeah and he's in it um but it is such a good film highly recommend oh she's also in into the wild which was such a good oh yeah classic great book by the way very cool okay love that so anyways check that out and then then i watched another one that i don't know if i loved it or if i hated it so can i say that like a show or a movie it's a movie okay it's called i'm thinking of ending things

huh sounds great yeah right just right off the bat it it's a Charlie Kaufman film. Okay. Director, writer. And if you don't know who Charlie Kaufman is, you do. He did like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Being John Malkovich, Adaptation. And so now this is his new one. So if you know, if you've seen any of those movies, you know, they're just like out there and weird and it's super indie. Okay. And it's super indie. Okay? I guess I'm not doing a great job of like really pumping the tires up on this one because I'm not sure if I loved it or if I hated it. But I also think that's a sign of a good film because you're just like, I don't know. So here it is. Full of misgivings, a young woman travels with her new boyfriend to his parents' secluded farm. Upon arriving, she comes to question everything she thought she knew about him and herself. It's trippy. It's weird. The acting's great, but it can be slow. If you're into indie

films, this is for you. If you're not, I wouldn't do it. I like any films. I loved Eternal Sunshine as well as mine. Me too. I also loved Adaptation and I loved Being John Malkovich. I never saw that one. Oh, you should watch it. It's fantastic. Okay. Great cast too. It's Cameron Diaz is in it. Oh, love. Obviously John Malkovich is in it and then John Cusack is the main. It's the lead.

I can't remember if it's called Ratchet or Ratched Yeah Ratchet we started it Ratchet is that what it's called? Yeah Nurse Ratchet It's called Ratched No it's called Ratchet R-A-T-C-H-E-D is that how you say it though?

Did you ever see One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest? No, but is that what this is based on? That's what I assume because the mean nurse in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is Nurse Ratched. Okay, that just must be how you say it. So I just assumed that this was like an origin story for her. Yeah, I think it is. Okay, did you watch the trailer or anything for it? I watched the first episode. Oh, you did? Okay, we did too. Did you watch like the trailer or anything for it? I watched the first episode. Oh, you did.

Okay. We did too. Did you like it? Yes. But I also really love Sarah Paulson. Me too. And that's why I turned it on because I love her. I mean, I don't know if I like the show.

It's a vibe for sure. Like it's very stylized. So I mean, I only watched one episode. I've got a feeling it's really good. This woman doesn't do bad projects. Yeah, I know. I know. I'm going to stick with it.

The thing that really caught me off guard in, I think, the very first episode was, I'm not giving anything away necessarily, but there's a pretty intense stabbing scene right off the bat. stabbing scene right off the bat. And for some reason, like I don't normally, I mean, I watch like a lot of gory movies, scary movies, you know, whatever. And that stuff doesn't normally bother me, but there's something about like a stabbing scene that really doesn't sit well with me. Like I have a really hard time with it. I'll never forget. One of my favorite movies of all time is the Zodiac. There's a scene in that movie of a stabbing and it just, every time I watch it, it makes my stomach turn. Like I just don't know't know so that was that was like right off the bat in this series and I just I don't know I didn't love it so we're gonna stick with it I do love Sarah Paulson and um you know Ryan Murphy is one of the creators of it and that's like that whole stylized look is something I don't really

love that like oversaturated very colorful colorful, very like arty looking show. That's not normally my kind of thing. And that's very much what this is. It's like a little bit cartoonish to me. Yeah. That being said, I like the idea of it. Like I love, you know, the whole like idea of like the psychiatric hospital and whatever. So we're going to continue watching it.

But I would just I'm very curious to see like how everyone likes it going forward. Yeah. Here's the tag. it but i would just i'm very curious to see like how everyone likes it going forward yeah here's the tag in 1947 mildred ratchet begins working as a nurse at a leading psychiatric hospital but beneath her stylish exterior lurks a growing darkness for those of you guys that don't know ryan murphy's the guy that did like glee and uh hollywood and the politician, American Horror Story. Like, so that's our thing. Ryan Murphy doesn't make shit, you know? I know, I know.

I think it's one of those that you got to stick with it. That's what I think too. Yeah. Yeah, I just love Sarah Paulson. She was also in American Horror Story. She was in, did you ever see Martha Marcy May Marlene? No. Say that 10 times fast. I know. was in, did you ever see Martha Marcy May Marlene? No.

Say that 10 times fast. I know. The reason I watched that movie is because Elizabeth Olsen is in it, and it's like about a cult. It's scripted. Elizabeth Olsen plays the lead, Martha, and she lives in the cult and then tries to escape and whatnot. And Sarah Paulson's in it. Great movie.

If you've never seen it, it came out in 2011. Okay. Have you seen raised by wolves what is that okay so i'm just one episode in and i don't know if it's the greatest thing in the world or okay okay so it's on hbo max so that's very specific you can't just it's whatever reason like you gotta like go to the app and watch it. The tagline is, androids are tasked with raising human children

on a mysterious planet. It opens with a spaceship landing on a different planet than earth. It's a man and a woman get out of the spacecraft. You figure out that they're androids, they're robots. They had like frozen embryos. They had like frozen embryos. They had six frozen embryos.

And they, through like futuristic science, they birth these six kids on this planet. They come to find out that like Earth was destroyed because we're fucking assholes and we were fighting each other and, you know, whatever. And so they've come to this planet to repopulate and it's all about them trying to these androids try to keep the get these kids to live on this alien planet and then like there's like this other side story of like there are the atheists and then there

are the people who believe in god and that's what the war was about originally and the androids are part of the atheist sect there is an ark or a lifeboat they sent to this planet that's full of the people who believe in god they get there kind of as one of the little boys is kind of like old enough to like understand being an atheist or believing in god and like having to decide like what path he wants to choose. Hmm. I mean, it's beautifully shot. Really? Yes. It's like, whoa, they spent some money on it.

But it's weird, man. I finished one episode. So much happens in one episode. It's bonkers. Like I couldn't believe. I was like, is this a movie? Seven million different storylines happen. But anyways, I'm really digging on Raised by Wolves.

Okay. Sounds like something that Ryan and I would like. Very sci-fi-y though. Yeah, he likes that, I think. Okay. Have you watched any Dancing with the Stars? I watched the first one. You did? Yeah. Did you love?

I love this season. Yeah, I think that Carol Baskins is terrifying. But also... Terrifying. Oh my God, how amazing was it that her dead husband's family bought airtime? No, that was the best part of the whole episode. Holy fuckballs, dude.

But like genius. I know, but... It's insane. Yeah, not the first time they've had a murderer on that show, though. Or an alleged murderer. Who else? I believe Ray Lewis was accused of killing somebody, and he was on that show. Very interesting.

So there's Preston here. Who's your favorite? I mean, I'll go with KB. KB is good. KB is my favorite because she's my home girl. But my close second, Nelly slayed it. And the judges, first of all, they were hard on everybody. They were really tough on him.

He did a freaking backflip. He danced to his own freaking song. Talk about iconic. And they did not give him great scores. I was very upset for him. He had a smile on his face. He was energetic. He was loving it. He was having upset for him. He had a smile on his face. He was energetic. He was loving it.

He was having fun. He was going for it, doing his best. They should have given him higher scores for sure. Dude, those judges, whatever. Ugh, they gave everybody pretty low scores. Even Caitlyn, like Caitlyn Slade. And they were like, yeah, you like didn't take enough risks. Like you need to like do more.

Yeah. It's crazy. I think the season's great. I also love which one of the Backstreet Boys is on there. AJ? I don't know. I don't know. Love that. I just, I think it's crazy i think the season's great i also love um which one of the backstreet boys is on there aj i don't know i don't know i love that uh i just i think it's so great i and i love the guy the big basketball player i think he's everything even though he can't dance it's just such a good cast and i am here for tyra banks hosting this show i think she bring my mom said she's getting a lot of like like hate and like bad reviews being the host.

And I don't know. I think she's so great. I just feel like usually like the host of those shows are very robotic and just very it's like too perfect. You know what I mean? And Tyra just like is like like flying by the seat of her pants. She's super chill, laid back, doesn't really know what she's doing, but it's working for her. And I'm loving it. I'm loving it. I love tyra well that's cool

miley and i watched life size about a total of 1.5 million times as children that seems like an over-exaggeration this is a lot i'm not like a lot okay hold on wait did you watch the Zoom table read of Fast Times at Ridgemont High? No. Okay. It was all the rage because Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were on it. And like them conversing, like had America swooning for a possible Brad and Jennifer Aniston reunion, whatever. So what happened was, I'm sure everyone saw this, but if you didn't, what happened was Dane Cook, for whatever reason, and a blast of passion. Love him. Do you?

I do. Hot take. I know. But I do. One of my favorite skits of his of all time is somebody shit on the coats. We got to play that one episode. It's so good. Can we play it?

Yeah. Can I just get, yeah, get through this first and then we'll do it. Yeah. So Dane cook brought together like this all star cast, do a zoom table read of fast times at Ridgemont high narrated by, or doing script notes,

Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt plays Brad in it. You've got Julia Roberts. You've got Jennifer Aniston. You've got the guy from Crazy Rich Asians. You've got Jimmy Kimmel. You've got John Legend. And then you got Shia LaBeouf, LaBeouf, whatever. LaBeouf. Oh, and you have Sean Penn just watching, okay? Dang. Because Sean Penn was the original Spicoli.

And Shia LaBeouf, LaBeouf, is playing Spicoli. I'm telling you, he got so fucking method. For whatever reason, everyone else is at their desk, having the script, reading their sides. For some reason, Shia LaBeouf is in his truck in the garage, smoking a gigantic joint okay that's everything and he's playing Spicoli and he's completely off book he fucking memorized this entire everyone else Brad Pitt Julia Roberts they're like reading their script Shia LaBeouf fucking knows the entire thing you have to watch it purely to be like,

to watch Sean Penn be like, oh shit. Oh my God, this is, and having Brad Pitt be like, whoa, this is amazing. He is so fucking good. He is. I mean, he's phenomenal. He is acting circles around like the best actors in the world on the Zoom call.

And he's so blitzed on weed it's the most i watched it like four times and i was just scrolling through just to get to shia labouf parts because it was so amazing how do you watch this i'll send you the link you can just google like fast times original high is this just like a table read via zoom for kicks or is this going to actually be a thing they were like raising money for a charity. Oh, cool. Yeah, so Brad and Jen and Sten were like, Brad was like, hey Jen, and then Jen

was like, hey honey. That was like the headline was like they were cute. Go for the Brad and Jennifer, but stay for the Shia LaBeouf. Okay. It's amazing. It sounds fantastic. I'm going to go watch it tonight. I've always liked him.

All the way back to Even Stevens. Dude. I've always liked him. I was a little too old for Even Stevens, but I watch it and I remember watching. I remember saying, this kid is going to be huge. His comedic timing as a kid was so good. Uh-huh. He's phenomenal.

What is it? Shit on the Coats? Yeah. I love Dane Cook. Miley and I went to one of his stand-up shows, and for some reason, he followed me on Twitter afterwards. So we're homies, kind of. I mean, duh.

Here's another way to be remembered. Again, and this one, this is more personal. It's more for you, because nobody's ever going to know that it was you, but you'll know, and that's all that matters. Next time you go to a party, a great big big party go into the room where all the coats are shit on the coats Guaranteed at some point somebody's gonna walk out of that room ago someone shit on the coats Someone has shit on the coats. Someone has shit on the coats. That's the only thing you can say when someone shits on the coats. Someone shit on the coats.

They might say, I think someone shit on the coats. But you know. You're just afraid to be the bearer of bad news. I think someone may have shit on or around the coat area. There's a smell of shit around the perimeter, the vicinity of coats. Leading me to believe someone has shit. But again, you're there. You're there watching it all happen. And it's your job, all you're gonna do at some point, you're gonna you're there watching it all happen and it's your job all you're going to do at some point you're going to lean in and go what and then blend back into the crowd what i hope it wasn't on my coat and then boom you're a phantom disappear disappear he gets me every time i know and it's so stupid it's so stupid oh man that was dane cook in his prime yeah i don't know what i i do know what happened

he became known as an asshole and when you become become known as an asshole in Hollywood, people don't keep on hiring you. Yeah, that's true. I think he has, he came back down to earth a little bit and not such an asshole anymore. But can you imagine doing that though? How, first of all, how funny would that be if you went and did that?

But then also how much funnier would it be if someone caught you doing it? Oh my God. What are you doing? What? So have you ever seen this Dane cook bit? It's called Shit on the Coats. Look it up on YouTube.

Anyways, I was doing that. Oh my God. Anyways, I think that's all I got. think me too it's a good episode though i mean we opened with me getting kicked out of fraternity and we closed with dane cook i know he doesn't get better than that guys that's about as good as it's gonna get i will say this so like things that i do want to watch there's a movie called like tenet t-eE-N-E-T. I think it's in theaters, which like who goes to theaters, guys? Robert Pattinson's in it. Oh, really?

Yeah, it's Christopher Nolan's new film. And armed with only one word, Tenet, and fighting for the survival of the entire world, a protagonist journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time it's like inception with like time travel instead of dreams okay he yeah he likes that he did uh he did interstellar i know i loved interstellar i loved interstellar i also really lovestellar. I also really loved The Prestige. Love that movie. Yeah.

He's phenomenal. Yeah. So anyways, I think that's in theaters. I think we've got to wait because I'm not going to the theater. But I would happily buy it for $20 and just watch it in the pleasure of my own house. I'm sure you'll be able to do that sooner than later. Hopefully. Hopefully.

Yeah. The other thing I want to see, speaking of space, Netflix put out a series about the Challenger space shuttle. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The 1986 accident or whatever. And I do want to watch that. I know. It's only like four episodes.

I just hope they change the ending. Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think it works like that. Yeah, I don't think so. I saw my good buddies, the Wildfeathers, put out a cover of Blue. Ooh. Thought I would give that a spin. I live by and a woman

She never sell me a line It's hard to sing with someone Who won't sing with you. Give all of my mercy. Give all of my heart. Never thought I would miss you. That I'd miss you so much. But you brought me through And you made me feel so blue

Why don't you stay behind so blue By the way, if you guys don't know the Wildfeathers, you need to go look them up. They are phenomenal. Aside from being close friends of mine they are the closest thing that the world has gotten to a remake of the eagles everyone in that band is so fucking talented everyone can sing everyone can play wildfires are awesome you're not wrong the flaming lips put out an album casey musgraves is on one. Oh my god.

Can you imagine how much weed was smoked on that? So much weed. She is on the song God and the Policeman. Oh, I wish she was on Mother I've Taken LSD. They're a trip. I've gotten to meet Wayne Coyne only because of you and your sister, but

he's bonkers. Bonkers. Love him so much. to do. You did what I would have done. I did what I had to

do. Very Pink Floyd of them. I'm going to the dentist tomorrow. Can I get

laughing gas even when I just get my teeth cleaned? I'll probably definitely listen to that album while I'm laughing gas. Laney? Is that how you say it? Laney? Yep. Laney. They've got a song called Cowboy in L.A. A new song. Cowboy in L.A.

Thunder Cowboy in LA Thunder Pickups and cheap gasoline Lightning Best show that I've ever seen Ooh, I like that. They're dope. Yeah. I won't play any of it, but I will say that the new Avett record, the third Gleam or Gleam number three, is so good.

I can't believe I'm saying this because I'm such an Avett Brothers fanatic, but I thought that their best stuff was behind them. Like, wasn't really like loving something so much after I Am Loving You, but I will say that this record is phenomenal. You're not going to play it? I think I've played a bunch of the Avett stuff. Just a little for some outro music. Feeling hopeless and staring at the moon This is I Should Have Spent the Day with My Family. And when the house got lively

I was working double time Scrambling eggs and trying not to cry Jennifer was getting Isaac dressed and packed for school I was wondering when God left and why he didn't say goodbye. I should have spent the day with my family. Instead, I tried and failed to work all day long.

Anyways, the record's just phenomenal. It's a vibe. I mean, the Avett's are a very specific vibe. But if you're into that, for my money, doesn't get much better than that. All right, Brandi. Smoke a little weed,

get kicked out of a fraternity. Yeah, shit on a coat. Who knows? That kind of vibe. Tell Rye, say hi. Oh, I will. Miss ya. Love ya.

Love you. Bye, guys. Bye! There's no explanation And the word Everything Don't cover what you lose So I spent the whole day Everything don't cover what you lose.

So I spent the whole day pacing back and forth all by my lonesome. Questioning the point and trying to write a song. And it sure is hard to focus. This podcast has been brought to you by Podcast Nation.
