Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Rizz, Sharks & Psychedelic Sparks

Episode Date: July 30, 2025

Wells is riding high on the joy of low-stakes weekends while Brandi checks in from Hawaii, taking a much needed vacay. Your hosts dive into episode 5 of Bachelor in Paradise, where Faith arrives on a horse (iconic), Dale serves up some Chip ‘n Dale energy, and Jonathan somehow keeps getting chances he doesn’t deserve. Nancy and Rizz-King Gary hit it off (was it the psychedelics?!), and Wells implants himself into BIP lore with an iconic one-liner (“you look like Toucan Sam on crystal meth”). He also makes a big pitch for bringing back the Boom Boom Room, because why not?? Meanwhile, your hosts have their weekly faves including big feelings on We Were Liars, Final Destination and The Phoencian Scheme. Wells also drops deets on his new Traitors podcast, and Brandi’s gonna be in Miami for her next gig - the summer keeps summering! Till next week, YFT fam, we love ya.

How's everybody do? I'm good. Dude, had a great weekend, just a fantastic weekend. And it was kind of impromptu, and you know what, I think that variety is the spice of life, right? The things you aren't really planning on, then all of a sudden, like the last second, you're like, let's go do that.

And then you go do it, and you're like, that was awesome, we should do more of that stuff. That's what happened to me. so I had a bunch of siblings that were like at home where we grew up in Monterey. My sister was up in Monterey with like all of her kids and her husband, and then my other sister heard about this and was like, well, I wanna come out there. So then she went out there, and then my brother-in-law

was driving through, and we stopped at my house, and he was like, you and your brother should come to LA, or should come to Monterey, we're all there. And I was like, yeah, that's not a terrible idea. We'd go up there, you know, just for a couple of days, play some golf, have some fun, see the kids, see the parents, and we went and did it.

And it was fantastic. This is my new thing, low stakes. I really like low stakes things. And that was like, yeah, if we can do it, we can do it. If we don't, you know, it's sorry. And we're like, yeah, we'll just drive up kind of late on Friday and have a nice dinner out there and see the kids and then come back.

And it was lovely to hang out with the fam. All the cousins are all friends, which is weird to me. They all like each other, which I mean, I liked my cousins growing up, but they all like really like each other a lot. And then I was, I was thinking like, I wonder if this is going to be a thing that will they be friends forever? Because I'm not that close with like my cousins that I was close with when I grew up. So I wonder if this was going to happen with them. But also we have sold, there's so many more of more. I have 10 nieces and nephews,

and nine of them were hanging out this week. Anyways, it was lovely to hang out with all those kids. So fun, so fulfilling, but then there's also the like, dude, it's so much work to have a kid. And that's all I kept thinking about. I just kept thinking, man, it's a lot. And I wanna have kids, I do, but sometimes I wonder if I'm too selfish.

Do you know what I'm talking about? Like, at least Brandy's honest about it. She's like, I don't wanna have kids. I don't wanna live my life. But like me, I wanna have kids. But then also, I wanna be able to like, I'm gonna go play golf today. I'll see you later.

You know, you can't do that when you get, when you get, when you have a kid. You can't do that. You guys know what I'm talking about. Should we do it? Should we call the, the Brandy-tha? Let's do it. Oh, it's time to call her.

It is time. The time is now. Hi. How are you doing? I'm good. How are you? I'm good. Where are you?

I am in beautiful Hawaii on vacation. Oh, everyone's got to be somewhere I suppose. That sounds nice. Why are you in Hawaii on vacation? Because I've been working my freaking ass off Wells. That's why. That's true. You have actually. Oh my gosh. I've been looking forward to this like since February. Where are you staying in Hawaii?

We're in Kauai. Nice. Is the island. And then we've been hopping around a little bit. We stayed at the one hotel here for a few nights. And it's the one hotel here for a few nights and it's pretty new. I think it opened last year maybe, but is freaking gorgeous. Like 10 out of 10, highly recommend if you and Sarah need a little romantic getaway.

It's incredible. You feel like you're waking up in Jurassic Park. It overlooks Hanalei Bay. The food's amazing. They've got like an infinity pool that looks like it runs into the ocean. Like it's insane. It's very cool.

Then we got a little Airbnb for the rest of the trip. Oh nice. Yeah. And so who's all there? Me and Matt and my sister and a few friends. And that's it. Well, thanks for the invite. Totally fine.

You didn't invite me. I'm not worried. Would you have come? No. I didn't think so. No, I mean maybe, but probably not. Yeah, well, Matt and I flew in early. I really wanted like me and Matt to have some quality time because I have been working so much and we've been fucking traveling and just been around people all the time and haven't really had any like quality alone time in a while. So I was like, you know what? This trip is going to be a good quality time for us. But also I feel like when I invite

people on trips, they're always like, yeah, I'd love to. And then like no one ever actually comes, you know? So I just like saved myself the disappointment and just didn't invite anyone this time. Tanner Iskra Would you say that you're in paradise? Grace Tate Definitely. Tanner Iskra Yeah, well, we have to talk about Paradise here in a couple of although Paradise has air conditioning and this place doesn't. Wow. I've got so many fucking fans got like this. These two this one been was blowing on my face

all night. I got another one back here that's oscillating the route like it's so hot. How do you not have air conditioning in Hawaii? A lot of these places don't. Like we've been here two other times and stayed in really nice houses and they just don't have air conditioning here. How hot is it at night? Hot, like in the seventies.

Like it's not cool. It's brutal. It's not for me. Nope. The one hotel has air conditioning. So for no other reason, I'd highly recommend the one hotel. but a lot of these Airbnbs even though the houses are really nice, they just like do not have air conditioning and it is I had to take a sleeping pill

last night. Not gonna lie to you guys. Really? Yeah. I mean, I can't feel that bad for you but everyone's like we can't complain. Yeah. Because look at this place. But also why can't you have a window unit in there? That's what I said. I was like literally just like a little over door, you know, unit as for all these bedrooms is all you need. Just a window unit. I know.

We figured this problem out years ago and New York, everyone's got a window unit in it, you know? I know, I don't understand it. I don't want to take up too much of your time if you're in paradise. So, okay. Matt's off surfing this morning. you know? I know. I don't understand it. I don't want to take up too much of your time if you're in paradise. So okay, Matt's off surfing this morning. So nice. They make surfboards big enough for that guy. You know, I asked this question.

Yes. I didn't think the one we it's obviously like a rental. I was like, I feel like this is not I don't know anything about surfing. Not one thing zilch. But I was like, I feel like this board's not long enough for you. He was like, well, we're gonna try. So well, I guess he could he get a long board and it would just be like a normal size board for him. Yeah. Right. I guess so. I don't know how it works, but nice. Do you surf? I can. But I you know, I respect the ocean. I'm a man who respects the ocean, which means I'm a man who's a little scared of the ocean.

I'm very scared of the ocean. One, I almost drowned in Cabo once, and that scared the bejesus out of me. There's sharks everywhere. That's not our home, that's their home, and they have to respect that. I don't know how much I want us to be surfing out there. Yeah, it's a no for me. Yeah, like I love sitting by a bonfire

and watching the sun go down. Like that is the best thing in the world for me. But then getting in the water and then being like, could a shark bite my ankle off right now? I know. I don't think there's prevalent here, but you know, the jellyfish situation. Yeah, Portuguese man-o-wars.

I don't like that. No, they're dangerous. No, I don't like that one bit. I respect the ocean. I don't respect lakes. I'll do whatever in a lake. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the ocean.

The sea was anger that day, my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli. You wanna start the show? Oh, yeah. Go for it. Bros and hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with? Well, it's I'm Brandy,

who's on Island Time, Island Time. Did you watch Bachelor in Paradise episode? Sure did. Yeah. Sure did. Well, a lot happened. You want to try to rip through it real quick? It opens up with Faith coming in on a horse. So sick.

I wrote in my notes, is this the coolest intro ever? Yes, it is. I think so too. Can you do the no arms thing? You know what? I like haven't done that since I was like a kid probably. Yeah. But I was thinking, you know, you see all these like dates where they're on horseback on the beaches and stuff and the horses like just look like like old school horses probably couldn't run if you asked them to kind of thing, you know, like they're just like meant

to be very tame for people who can't ride. And you can tell that this horse that they brought in for her is like the real fucking deal. It's like muscular, it's fit, like you can tell it's just trained. And I don't know how they did that, but they found her a sick horse to come galloping in on. I posted about it, but there were what we thought were wild horses just on the beach. But come to find out they were just horses that they didn't have like a paddock. They were just like, you can write whatever you want. Yeah, I love that. And I think it was one of those. That's sick. Well, it's beautiful. And she is the coolest person ever. Yeah, that was cool. You got to do an

entrance like that one day. Yeah, yeah. Love her. Dale takes a body shot off of April. I would say this like if things don't work out for Dale, he could be a chip in Dale's Dancer. I'm surprised he's not already. Yeah, I think he's probably makes too much money to be one, but- What's he do again? I don't know.

I think he owns a company. Oh, that's one of those. Not really sure, but man's got some moves. Leia likes Jonathan. Does she or is it that Jonathan's the low hanging fruit? I mean, he's like the only, he's yeah, he's the last one left on Shitbird Island. But how many opportunities is this guy going to get?

It's too many. Time for him to go. I really like April just shouldn't have given him the rose. I think it was time for him to go. It's getting crazy. Like we've seen enough of Jonathan have no sexual chemistry with anybody on dates, you know? Nancy takes Gary on a date and this late. What's Gary is hot shit. I know what the T I'll tell you what it is. He's got Riz. He's got charisma.

Okay, he's cool. He's unbothered. Yeah, he's just living his life and whatever for whatever reason, what Jonathan doesn't have Gary has totally, you know, yes, Gary's got BD for sure. Oh for sure. But I do feel bad for Leslie. I'm rooting for Leslie but I also like Nancy anyways. This is why this sucks that Jonathan accepted that rose because it just screwed the

golden's over. Yeah, it did. You know, I'm rooting for them. I'm I'll say it. I'm rooting for them more than I am for the Youngs Yeah, I mean, I think you said it last week, too Yeah, I mean there's lovely people and like they're interesting and they're fun And I don't know if we're gonna get it, but like I desperately this is a weird thing to say But like nothing would give me more joy than to know that two Goldens went to the boom-boom room Oh, wow. You know, that would be hilarious.

Is it the boom boom room or is it this new VIP VIP thing? Yeah. But I tell you what, if we go do this show again, I am making a strong argument for we need to bring back the, just a name can be called the boom boom room. Totally. Why would they change it? They change everything, but there are some things that that must be kept. And it's just a name can be called the boom boom room. Totally. Why would they change it? They change everything, but there are some things that must be kept. And it's just saying it. Boom boom room is so funny. It's better. I know.

This is very too hot to handle. It's like they took this right out of their playbook. I actually enjoyed it because for whatever reason it's hard to get people out of their shells. Because they're being filmed, right? I mean, yeah. So sometimes you need to like have incentive incentivize being a little goofy. get people out of their shells. Because they're being filmed, right? I mean. Yeah. So sometimes you need to like have incentive, incentivize being a little goofy.

Sure. Everyone loves a costume party, right? I enjoyed it because it's really the only time that I'm on the show on this episode. They did keep in most of my one-liners, which made me very happy. You have some good ones. I did have some good ones.

I did not think that they were gonna keep in, you like 2K and Sam on crystal meth. I didn't, I didn't think that they were going to keep that one in. Listen, Wells, they're trying to edge the show up. Of course, they kept it in. Yeah. Well, I went to a party with all the producers and there was an editor there and he was like, I am fighting for 2K and Sam on crystal meth to be in the show. It's so funny, but I don't think ABC is going to allow it. And I'm like, I get it. But as long as you laughed, that's all that matters to me. And then lo and behold, yeah. So Alicia comes in and she looks good, by the way. She's had blow up. I mean, she was already pretty,

but yeah, well, she was like Miss America or something. Come on. But she comes in and she sits down and she was already pretty, but. Yeah. Well, she was like Miss America or something. Yeah, something. Dude, come on. But she comes in and she sits down and she kind of like, I feel like her makeup was better than everyone else's. Totally. Did she get that vibe? Yeah, I was like, oh, this bird of paradise is a little different.

It was a lot of funny stuff that happened. I did like when Dale came in and he goes, oh, there's a new one or something or like, this is a new one. And she was like, am I this? Yeah, that wasn't great. And when he said that I was like, that's not great. Take it back. And then obviously, Sean makes out with April on the ground. Yep. Which was sensual when he takes off his underwear, which was pretty great. Yep. Oh, something. Threw it at us. I had to hold it with a pen.

We need more of that stuff on Paradise. And yes, I do believe that it's been done on other shows, but I liked it. It was like, it was what I thought was like the most fun thing we did on the show. I agree. I agree. And you know, it causes some drama, which you love and all that. Yeah, they were like, okay, so you guys, you and Hannah have to judge. And I was like, I'm gonna be Simon Cowell. I am gonna be mean. Of course you were.

Yes, and everyone's like, this is a great idea. Did you do that? And then I was mean, but they didn't keep a lot of the stuff in it. But I was like, very- Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I told Kathy that she looked like one of the ghosts in the Shining.

Oh my God, that's not that bad. And I think she took it wrong, but you know in the Shining where there's like an old picture, like it's an old party, and she's wearing like this like old, this is like feathery hat. Like that's what she looked like to me. She looked like she was in like that picture

of all the ghosts. She did not take it that way and that was cut. But I did think it was very funny. And then Hannah was like, I guess like nice about it. But we were trying to figure out like, you know, who one who was the best, who was most central, who was like also who like wanted to dance with everybody. That was one of the things was like,

you need to dance with everybody, make this fun. Was like, you have Spencer who's like, I won't dance with anybody. And you're like, you need to dance with everybody. Make this fun. It was like, you have Spencer who's like, I won't dance with anybody. And you're like, dude, we get it. You're a golden retriever and everyone loves you. Grind up on some ladies, you know? Grind up on a golden, why not? Give us something to work with.

Give me something here. Brian and Parisa win. They're gonna go get intimate, but not before Brian totally tries to ruin the deal. I was very confused of like what exactly happened. It's like I wasn't getting the whole story. Yeah because she was like what's your favorite color and he's like we're not doing this. I'm not telling you that and it's like well hold on why not? I don't understand. Yeah why not?

And it's like well we already talked about this oh I didn't know you know whatever be cute. She wants to be cute with you. I don't know if he was just like grumpy or, or if it was a little bit of a red flag. Like that sounds about right. Maybe so. But we had cameras in there. So like that wasn't going to be happening until they left. It almost gave that's kind of what the vibe was to me is like he didn't want to sit here and do this whole show for the

cameras because he wanted them to leave was kind of like the vibe. You know what I mean? If that's true, then I understand that. Do you? Yeah, I would could be annoyed by it. Like I won this thing. I'm supposed to get loan time and you guys won't leave. But if you give them what they want, it's like they'll leave. Yeah, that's probably true. Just play into it for five, 10 minutes and then like they leave you alone. Yeah. I don't what you signed up

for. I don't know. Yeah. Like, you know, Brian's living in a world where like people already kind of think he's not a great guy. And this didn't help his, his, his cause. No, it did not. Jeremy tells Brian that he wishes he was there with Susie. Jeremy continues to dig himself a deep hole into the dirt.

Dude, don't say it out loud. And them doing the side by side of Bailey wanting to get engaged is so cruel. So sad. It's awful. You know, he's telling this to Brian and Brian's like, I don't like this. You know, like, this is not cool. Jeremy's my friend, but like, dude.

And then I'm like, wait, is Brian the good guy here? Who's the good guy here? Well, I guess we'll see because like, I get breadcode but bro code can only go so far. Well, it'll be interesting to see who's who tells her right? Like, is it gonna be Brian? Or is it gonna be one of her girlfriends? The safe bet would be for Brian to tell Paris, Parisa. Yeah. And then Parisa to tell the girls. Yeah. Because

that gets him out like a hair of like, instead of just ratting him out. It's like, well, I told my girl and I tell her everything. So I don't know, you know? Yeah. I don't know. It like softens the blow. Gary and Nancy go on a cacao ceremony, which is not hallucinogenic. But he gets fucked up, it seems like. I don't know if that's just really good editing or he was feeling something. Or just like a placebo effect.

He was convinced it was gonna make him trip. Yeah. But the drug montage is pretty amazing, I must say. Yeah, it's good. Yeah. Alicia's there and she's realizing that there's not a lot of options, right? And she's into Dale. Alicia seems like one of those people that's really probably never been told no

before. Yeah. And that's not a slight on her. She's just so pretty that I can't imagine a lot of people are like, not going after it. Yeah. Right. So she's going after Dale. And then she's also going after Sean. Do you think there's a world in which Sean's kind of like a backup plan? Absolutely. Yeah. And then the saddest thing happens in the show. Jill says, I'm losing my sparkle. I know. I'm going to say this, Jill, I think you're too good for Paradise. I agree. I think that you deserve something better because people don't appreciate your comedy. No, they don't. Take it from someone who feels this way every season. Oh, wow.

They don't get you. I see you, I see you Jill. The conversation that Jill has with Sean is, she's like, I'm gonna go, this is for you. And he's like, what are you talking about? I know, he's trying really hard to be nice. I know. And I felt bad. That was like the last opportunity for

her to be loved on and it didn't happen. Sad. Onward and upward, like she'll be better off, you know, yeah, without any of those guys. So then Jonathan starts to do the thing. He's not doing the wrong thing. It's just coming from the wrong person. I think he's like trying to console cat while throwing Dale under the bus, because he kind of wants a rose. He's not wrong, like what he's doing. And I think that like, I'm glad someone's like looking

out for cat, right? Sure. It just seems cringe. Little cringe. It's a little cringe. Yeah. What Jonathan says is that Dale says he wants to go on a date to see cat sweat. Right.

It wasn't verbatim. It was pretty close though. It was very close, but it wasn't to see cat sweat. It wasn't to make her sweat. It was to see if she would sweat, right? Yeah. Something like that. Yeah.

I mean, yeah, he definitely said it. But I do feel like there is a difference in like, wanting to make someone like uncomfortable and seeing if they will be uncomfortable, right? Like, they're enough. Yeah. The way he delivered it was like a little bit more malicious. You know what I mean? Totally. But he still did say something to the effect. And then you know, so then cat goes and asks Jeremy, and Jeremy, worst person to ask. Jeremy lies for Dale.

Of course he does. Do you know Jeremy? Have you been watching this season? Well, I like Why are you lying for anybody? I guess is my question. My thought is rose over hose all day. I guess. I found that situation and like Dale was my buddy. And he did say that, but like I think you're, you know, you're like what you're saying, you're misconstruing the message or whatever. I would just be like, I don't know. I don't remember. I don't remember that. I don't, you know, like I don't, I don't want to be, I'm not involved in this. This

is not my problem to have. It's just an opportunity for you to look bad and no one needs that. No. opportunity for you to look bad. And no one needs that. No, Catherine kind of confronts Dale about it. Dale also is like not admitting to what happened and what is so insane. Do these people not realize they're gonna play it back? I know it's like dude, but you did say it you figure out a way to like be like, yeah, I was just saying that like, I was wondering if you would sweat if I went on a date. Totally.

Gaslighting someone about it. Yeah. Knowing that in a couple months, they're gonna be like, dude, what the frick? You told me you didn't do that, you know? Yep. I mean, I love it. Great television.

Great TV. And I just like, I have no idea any of this has happened. Like they'd come and kind of talk to me about it. And I'm like, I have no idea any of this has happened. Like I, they'd come in and kind of talk to me about it. And I'm like, Oh, interesting, you know, but like, I'm not, I can't see and hear all this stuff. Parisa says that she wished they didn't win. She's a weird night. Does that mean it was bad sex? You think? I mean, if they even had sex, right? Like the vibe was off. I

don't know. It was one or the other, right? And then the thing that we are most concerned about with having the Goldens being on the show is that one of them is going to die out there and that's going to be on our hands. And Kim starts having heart palpitations. Kim's heart is literally breaking in front of us. That's sad. I know. You know what it was. They got told about Birds of Paradise and then we're told like go get ready. And so he got ready and then he was like dancing for like a camera for like hours, like thinking

that like we're about to start going, you know, and he I think he danced too much and his poor little ticker, you know, almost knocked out. And what sucks about that is that Faith wanted to take Kim on the date. I know. I mean, she can't because he's at the hospital trying not to die.

So she takes Cathy on a date, which is very sweet. It is. That's like, that was a way better move than just taking one of the other men. Don't you think? Yeah, if she didn't have a like connection with any of them. Yeah. I mean, it was nice because Kathy's like scared of horses. It's also nice because it's like looping an arc, right? Remember, Kathy was the one who was telling faith to like zip

it, right? Wasn't it her that he was like, I think so. Yeah, I think it was to her like they were involved in that zip it thing. Some drama. Yeah. And so now they're friends. And that's nice.

Alicia is trying to decide if she should take Dale or Sean. I think she probably makes the right decision because one I'd be scared of cat a little bit. I would too. And two, Sean is really a free agent at this point.

They have kind of like a fun, dirty date, which seems cute actually. Totally. They are two very good looking people. They're like Barbie and Ken. For sure. You know? Then we find out Parisa's hair is falling out. So there you go

Those are all my notes Geez a lot is happening cat and Dale are taking time bomb I just wish she booted him last week when she should have interesting Yeah, the Brian and Teresa stuff like that. It just feels like there's something we're not we didn't see That's happening between them because it can't just be him not wanting to talk about his favorite color. You know, some shit had to go down. So that makes me feel like that's a ticking time bomb as well. Yeah. Do you think that any couples are going to make it? Well, here's the thing, right? Like it seems like Spencer and what's the girl's name?

Jess. It seems like they're so solid, right? But part of me is like, if they make it, why aren't we seeing more of their story? Because wouldn't they want us to be invested if they're the ones that make it in the end? I don't know. So I'm like, I don't know about that one. I don't like that they're not showing them at all. Okay, so of the relationships that are kind of on the rocks, you have Dale and Kat, you have Brian and Parisa, and you have

Jeremy and Bailey. That one's That one's done,'s done you think? Now that one. I mean, if it ain't before the end of filming, it sure is now watching it back. Interesting. Yeah. Okay. What do you mean interesting? What girl would sit here and watch this and stay with him?

She hasn't been told on the show yet that this is happening. I don't get how this hasn't gotten back to her. Hannah and I start questioning that too. We're like, how does she not know? Like we, I know, and I'm not even a cast member. Yeah, I don't understand why no one's looking out for a girl. I was very shocked that the girls weren't being more girls girls. But maybe next episode they will be. Maybe one can only hope. I do think that next episode is when we start to find out that the money is coming into play. Right. And so that's going to be a fun little wrinkle that people are going to I don't know, we'll see if they like or dislike. I don't know.

Yeah, it'd be an interesting twist. Yeah. All right. That's all I got for bachelor in paradise. How many more weeks are there? I think there's 10 episodes total. That was five. VIP six is coming out. So we're exactly halfway through. Yeah, interesting. You got any favorite things, bro? I can't call it a favorite thing. Okay. I finished We were liars. Oh And what happened? Wells Tell me about it. I don't know if I can I don't know if I can go back there. What's going on? I'm confused Okay, this fucking show. Mm-hmm. What's going on? I'm confused.

Okay, this fucking show. It's like, it's on Amazon Prime. It looks like a teeny bopper. It looks like the summer I turned pretty. Some like teeny bopper love story. Possibly a feel-good thing. Like, it looks chill. The first couple episodes I was like, I feel like the writing's not great. And people just keep hyping up this finale and saying it's gonna like fucking just rock you upside down and like turn your life.

Everyone makes it seem like the last episode is just like a fucking doozy. So I stuck with it. No one could have prepared me for this ending. Good ending, bad ending, I'm confused. Fucking terrible. Terrible ending. The worst fucking ending of any show I have ever watched. Wow, that's a bold statement. Do you want me to tell you what happens? Sure. I'm

never gonna watch this stupid show. You're never gonna watch it? Are you sure? Honestly, you shouldn't let me just spare you. I wish someone had said, don't do it, Brandy, because this will haunt you for the rest of your fucking life. That's what I wish I'd been told. Tell me all everything. And if you don't, if you do want to watch it, why have tears, skip forward a couple of minutes. Skip forward, but let me tell you guys,

proceed with fucking caution. Unless you want your heart ripped out of your frigging chest, don't watch this show. Well, I kind of do want that, I guess, when it comes to. Oh, okay. Spoiler alert for the 60 seconds, maybe two minutes. We're gonna go here. The whole premise of the show, this girl has some accident and this whole season

you're trying to figure out what happened to this fucking girl. She's lost her memories, she doesn't remember what happens and she's trying to get all her cousins and her family to tell her what happened so that she can like get her memories back. Well, she and her fucking cousins

decide to set their house on fire because they're so angry at their parents and don't wanna continue the cycle and circle of life that their parents have lived. So these three or four kids decide to light this fucking house on fire. The first blow, the worst blow, the house is burning down in flames

and this fucking girl is running out and all of a sudden you hear the dogs crying. Oh God. These two golden retrievers they've had since they were children were locked in the fucking mudroom and these dumb fucking kids didn't think about, we should let the dogs out before we set the house on fire. And the dogs fucking burn alive in the house.

That's the big blow for me. I'm like, holy fuck. That's like my biggest nightmare. Also you don't, I don't know why they do that. No one needs that. No one needs that, nightmare. It's how I'm catching the fire. I don't know why they do that. No one needs that. No one needs that, especially not fucking teenagers. This is a YA show.

Yeah. I was floored that this was part of the show. So then this poor girl is devastated because she killed her dogs. And she thinks like, well, that's the trauma I was blocking. So she goes to her grandfather and is like, I finally remember. And she starts talking to him about it. And he says, yeah, I really miss them or whatever.

And then she says, I think we I think they call themselves the liars. I think you should have the liars over for dinner tonight, and blah, blah, blah, blah. And then it gets weird. And then final blow final ending is that all of her cousins died in the house too. They all burnt with the house except her. So not only did she kill her childhood dogs, she killed all of her fucking cousins and the love of her life was also in there. So who was she talking to the entire time? Ghosts. That's pretty good other than the dog thing. Pretty fucking good and I really didn't the only thing I saw coming was that when they were when they were planning this house fire I did think about the dogs. I did

think like, what about the dogs? Yeah. And but in my mind, subconsciously, I'm like, Amazon Prime would never burn golden retrievers alive in a house fire. That would be fucking nuts. Yeah. But sure enough, they sure fucking did. But the the kids I did not see that one coming. Interesting. Fucking genius. Great show, horrible ending, will scar me for life, proceed with caution, but wow. I'm just confused.

Do you, did you like it or did you not like it? I mean, it was genius. The concept is fucking genius. I wish I hadn't watched the scene of the dogs burning. I just, their cries will haunt me for life, you know? Okay. Oh, I'm beyond devastated. I was on a plane too, I was flying here and I was crying

and Matt was like, are you good? Cause you know, I don't cry. Oh my God. And I was like, no, I'm not good. I will never be good again after this. All right. So don't watch it or do you want- I don't know. Okay.

I mean, no, obviously if I just followed it for you, it's probably not worth it. Well, I'm not going to. Truly, I don't think anyone should watch it. Okay. If you love dogs and if you if you love dogs, and if you don't love dogs, you're fucked up. So you know, well, I've got something that also I didn't love. Oh, is it happy Gilmore to know? Oh, I like to have people more to and

I'll tell you did. Yes. That hated it. Has Matt seen the first one? Yes. He said it was his favorite movie of all time. And like the peak of it like the pinnacle of his childhood. Oh, okay. Well, let's talk about it. I thought it was I think one, it's so hard to come up with a sequel. That's any that's going to be good. I liked all the cameos. I didn't watch it. But I didn't watch. He watched it while I watched Bachelor in Paradise. So what didn't he like? I don't know. He just said it was terrible trash. I loved

it. I will say it scratches all the itches. It's very similar to the original one where he's got to get back into golf to make money for a good cause. You know, in the first one, he's trying to save his grandma's house in this one. He's trying to send his daughter to this like really expensive ballet school. Some like shining moments. Bad Bunny is so good. Really? He is phenomenal. He is the best actor. I know he was so good, so funny, really liked him.

I really loved John Daly. He was great. Scotty Scheffler, shockingly, I think was almost one of the funniest people in the thing. He had like the best line and stuff. And then the guy who plays Shooter McGavin is just great. So here's the thing. So it's a lot of cameos and it's a lot of like actors and celebrities, or it's a

lot of athletes and celebrities who are bad actors. So you have to like take it with a grain of salt. Like, I know you're bad at this. Like that's okay. It's fine. But then there are some people who you're like, wow, I'm really impressed that you're able to do this. And that was like John Daly and Scottie Scheffler

and Will Zell Taurus, who were like really, really good at it. I loved it. It's not going to win an Academy Award, but for a movie that I thought was very similar to the original, I think it like paid homage. It didn't hurt the origin. Sometimes they make these sequels and you're like, they should have never done that. I think it like paid homage. It didn't hurt the origin. Sometimes you didn't make these sequels and you're like, they should have never done that.

I think it's great. Even though I did audition for the Haley Joe Osmond part and I didn't get it. Really? Yeah, but it's fine. It's not a big deal. But the thing that I watched that I didn't like, and this pains me as a Wes Anderson fan.

I didn't love the Phoenician scheme. Now I will say this, it's beautiful. Wes Anderson's aesthetic, there's no denying how unique and how cool it is, but I do feel like the storytelling is just not like what it used to be. And the jokes don't land like they did in the past for me. I don't know if it's like Benicio del Toro

is not able to do the Wes Anderson deadpan humor very well. Like Michael Cera in it is fantastic, totally gets it. But it's a lot of Benicio del Toro who, I think they wanted him to be like the Gene Hackman of Royal Tenenbaums and just like kind of couldn't do it or didn't do it or did it differently. And it just for whatever reason fell flat to me. So like the last two S.A. Andersons I haven't loved

like Asteroid City and this one I just didn't love. I love that like there is still at least one filmmaker out there that can make weird movies like this in a time which I think they're just making like fucking superhero films and like that's it. And it is beautiful and I hope he can see continues making these films but like this one just wasn't my thing. But Michael Cera needs to be the lead of his next one.

Okay. I love Michael Cera. I do too. His story arc is so funny. I wanted to ask you something. Okay, you know this song? Yeah. Okay, it's Christina Perry 1000 years. Yep. Can you tell me why this is the song that tick tock has decided if you've adopted a wild animal that was hurt for some reason,

this is the song that you must put over it. Oh, well, it's a beautiful song. Every video of a deer that has an arrow in its ass that some guy comes and takes it and saves it and then all of a sudden the deer is playing with the dogs and all of these lives in the house or an otter, a baby otter is swimming for the boat and they bring him up or it's a tiny fox that has been left by his parents or it's a bird that fell out of a nest and it's dying on the street. This song is the song that's played with the video and I don't know it's the new um what's the other one we we play when you play it all the time when we're reading um oh yeah Sarah McLaughlin Sarah McLaughlin it's the new one we play when you play it all the time when we're reading? Oh, yeah, Sarah McLaughlin

Sarah McLaughlin, it's the new Sarah McLaughlin. Yeah, you're right So, you know what? You know what made this song super famous was Twilight Really? Yeah, it was the it was the wedding song during Twilight Well, you're right a thousand years has, this has been replaced with a thousand years. It has. Yeah. Anyways, I just have noticed that. I don't know if that's happening on your TikTok, but on mine it's like, and I, they get me

every time it's like, Oh my God, this guy adopted a fucking porcupine. I want to cry now. Yeah. They find a dog on the side of the street where all its ribs are exposed and it's got a broken leg and then they fucking nurse them back and then all of a sudden they're dancing around, you know? You're like, ah, fuck you, Christina Perry.

Nice. Yeah. Dude, we watched a fantastic horror movie. Really? Fantastic Final Destination bloodlines. 800. Listen, it doesn't matter. All right. This thing knows what it is. And it's leaning into it, you know, what are my favorite things about Final Destination is, and I don't know if this is because they have a low budget, or it's because it's part of the thing. But part of it is the

bad acting. You know, it is, I think they've leaned into it. I think so too. I love it. Like, I love that I'm not taking it too seriously. But also, like, I love those types of movies. Great callbacks, you know, like, that you can't be driving down the street with like a truck that's got a bunch of logs on it without thinking, fuck, these are gonna fall off and kill me. I know it. You know?

We watched it the other day, plagued by a recurring violent nightmare. A college student returns home to find the one person who can break the cycle and save her family from the horrific fate that inevitably awaits them. Final destination, bloodlines. What I love about this thing is it makes no sense because the whole thing is that if you escape death, then death is going to figure out a fucking way to kill you.

Yeah, I got to get you. But here's the thing. No one escapes death. We're all going to die eventually, you know? So why is death concerned with the proximity of when you were supposed to die? Because it's going to happen no matter what. That's true.

Death is like, you're like, you know, like, listen, we're on a schedule here. You fucked it up. Doesn't matter. What is a couple of years gonna matter? Really fun. So like it all starts with like a girl who has premonitions that like bad things are gonna happen.

Kind of becomes shut in or whatever because she can see like all the ways that she's supposed to die. Her kids start getting these dreams and they've got the premonitions and they've got to break this cycle. And it's like, death is like going through the family tree because they were supposed to,

you know, the grandmother was supposed to be the one that died and then when that didn't happen and she had a bunch of kids, then those kids are never supposed to be and all this death is like trying to fall in down this family tree. Anyways, it's very fun. Loved it. You know?

Where did you watch it? Prime. We rented it, I think. We need more movies like this. Like I know what you did last summer, right? Or like Final Destination. Like we need these movies. Not everything needs to be the greatest fucking movie

you've ever seen in your entire life. Sometimes it can just be fun for fun sake. Yeah. That's what I think the Happy Gilmore thing was. It's like, I know that this isn't going to be the greatest thing in the world, but I enjoy it. And it's funny slapstick jokes and stuff and a lot of callbacks. And, you know, I don't need I don't need to be like writing in to the Oscars

for these things. You just need some some feel good mindless shit. Yeah. Yeah, that's how I feel about like all the dating shows. 100% no one's saying that Bachelor in Paradise, you know, deserves to win Emmys. No. Which I don't really understand though,

because like other reality TV shows win Emmys all the time. That is true. I don't think this is any better or worse than like Real Housewives, but whatever. Sure. Fine. You know, I started this other podcast. I'm the Traders by order of the Faithfuls. And so I'm doing with Dolores, who won the season of Traders that I was on.

And then Tamara, who's on the season beforehand, they're both Howsewives. They're hilarious. I don't really have to do anything other than like ask some questions and then they talk forever. But so we started. It's nice, isn't it? Yeah, it's yeah. Yeah. This is your life, huh? We're waiting for the new season to come out. So in that time, we're like watching previous seasons. So we it hasn't come out yet, but it will be I think, in August,

we watched the first episode of season one of traders, which was the season that they had celebrities and civilians on. And I really liked that. Like I get it. The civilians quote unquote, like might not be as good at like making television. Sure. I don't know. I think it's a fun wrinkle. It's almost almost like I, I wouldn't hate them coming back to that. Yeah. When's that podcast come out?

I think in the middle of August. Okay. Yeah. Sick. I got one more thing. Okay. We started watching Amy Bradley is Miss missing. Have you heard about this? No, it's on Netflix. You love these shows. Love them. You've been abducted. It's really sad, but. March 24, 1998, Amy Lynn Bradley, 23, is enjoying a family cruise vacation when Amy suddenly vanishes without a trace.

This twist-filled three-part documentary mystery explores the theories and the family's desperate search for the truth. Amy Bradley is missing only on Netflix. If there was ever a reason to never go on a motherfucking cruise, here you go, dude. There's a million. You're stuck out there.

You could be kidnapped apparently. I mean, everyone thinks that this poor girl was like kidnapped in the cruise and was like sold as, you know, it was trafficked. All I'm saying is like, who's going on cruises? No one, like nobody should be. Don't do it. Rent a yacht. Do that. Or just go stay at a Sandals. Yeah, I don't know. Exactly. Sounds better. Go to Club Med. Yeah, that's all I got for you.

That's you. That's me, babe. Okay. So what do you got coming up? A few more days of vacay. This is literally the only work I'm doing this whole week. I am fried. So a few more days to chill and then I'll be in LA for one day to do some podcasting with my mother. And then on Saturday, I'm playing a show in Miami at Palm Tree Club.

So that should be sick. I haven't played Miami in a hot second. Should be a good time. You know, everyone's always litty-kitty in Miami I'll post the details on that in case anybody's down there and then I have a couple chill weeks at home nice Which I'm really excited about so I'm chilling Yeah, well, I've got to go work on a job coming up in a couple weeks But I can't really say what it is yet, but when I am allowed to

We love that you're a working man. I know couple of weeks, but I can't really say what it is yet. But when I am allowed to. We love that you're a working man. I know. Love that for you. I love it for me too. I need money. Yeah. Daddy needs some money.

All right, YFTers, we love you. We love you lots. You know, YFTers, I consider you like one of this wild heart animal that have come into my boat and I'm going to save you. I'm going to bring you back to life. Okay. Love you guys. See ya. Bye. This podcast has been brought to you by Podcast Nation.
