This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. What's that? Hi, happy Valentine's Day. We are recording this on Saturday, February 14. We are. I would like to let you know that I, for some reason, thought Valentine's Day was Thursday. So I called, texted, sent flowers to my wife.

On Thursday. And she was like, what are you talking about? Like, what do you mean? She's like, today's not Valentine's Day. For some reason, I'm scared. I have to be honest, you know, we have to let the YF2 years really know what's going on in my brain. Okay. For some reason, I kind of thought that Valentine's Day was like always like the second Thursday of.

I'm sorry, what? February. This is not Thanksgiving. Like, what the fuck do you mean? I don't know why. The cat's Thursday. It's always Thursday. No.

Anyways. It's always. February 14th. Yeah, I know. I know that. Or maybe I thought that like it's always just falls on it. I don't know what I thought. Okay.

Okay. And I'm not proud of it. You know, got up before she did and like text her. And I was like, Happy Valentine's Day baby. You have something special down at the front desk. Go down there and get it. And she's like, what are you talking about?

I feel like if Matt had done that to me, I would have just been like, God bless. Like he just means so. well, but like... She wasn't mad at me for it. No, I wouldn't have been mad. I would have just thought it was fucking hilarious that you got it wrong. Yeah.

But you know what I did get or something? What did you get her? Flowers in a Mickey and many vase where they were kissing. Base or vase? Base is what I would say. But if you want to sound rich. You want to be boozy about it. It's a vase.

And then it came with a, I think a stuffed animal of Mickey. Cute. Home run. She loved it. I bet. You know? She even posted about it. Oh, yeah.

So anyways, she's a Disney adult and I don't know what that makes me. But so, yeah, I was wrong about Valentine's Day. What did you guys deal? We flew here from Bend, Oregon today. How was Bend? Oh, you know what? Okay. So I was there for Winterfest.

Okay. Which is their annual Winter Festival. You performed? I performed. I guess, you know, you can ski and snowboard and bend, which is pretty cool. And that's what everyone was doing. So it was like a little bit, even though it was like this winter festival. best thing. It was like a little bit of an opera vibe. Like people had just come off the

mountain, I guess, and came to party, which was sick. Love it. Ben surprised me with how much they wanted to party. It was great. Really? Yeah, I was kind of expecting like a chill, like older crowd for some reason. And it was like younger kids that had just, you know, been on the mountain all day that wanted to rage. It was great. Yeah. Yeah. Loved it. Had a great time. Great, great set time. 830 to 945. Sweet spot. Oh yeah. Not too late. Still got to got to be. asleep before midnight. Bend itself, listen, I wish I could have gone for better weather.

Like, it's fucking freezing. Yeah. It was literally 37 degrees during my set. I had heaters, so I was warm. But it was very cold there. And we woke up to rain this morning. So not like the best, you know, most opportune time to explore the city, I'd say. The one thing I was impressed by is the food.

Like, a lot of healthy choices in Bend. We found the cutest little place. And we look up the name. Cooked with no seed oils, which, I'm all about right now with all my gut stuff. A lot of gluten-free options, which we love. It was called Jackson's Corner. Okay.

So if you're in Bend or visiting, highly recommend for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. They had great coffee. Very cute. We went there twice. I liked that aspect of Bend a lot, that they had healthy choices. It reminds me a little bit of Denver in that sense. Denver's a pretty, like, healthy, health-oriented city, I'd say. Yeah.

So, yeah, flying into Bend is very cool. You can see, like, Mount Hood and, like, five other mountains, all snow-capped, very beautiful. And then we woke up this morning, went to the airport. Unfortunately, the flight was delayed, so we've kind of been traveling all day. But quick, easy flight. Shout out, bring the bell. Alaska Airlines.

Oh, yeah, they're doing it, huh? I had never flown Alaska. I don't believe until this trip, Alaska Airlines is the only airline to fly direct to bend Oregon from here. That makes sense. Yep. And we were actually, this is a fun story, supposed to leave on Thursday. Okay. My show was Friday night.

I had booked the flights for Thursday because they were literally like $600 cheaper to leave Thursday than Friday. And I'm a cheap ass, especially when it comes to flights. Yeah. And so I was like, you know, we'll just go a day early. And, you know, the venue is going to give us hotel anyway. And we'll just find something to do in Bend. And Matt, like, all week has just been loving the California weather. And it's so cold at home.

He was like, I'm dreading Bend. And I was like, I know, I was like, you really don't have to go. You know, like, I'm totally, if you want to stay here, I wouldn't blame you. Astra is here. I'm like, you can stay with Astra. And he was like, no, no, we're a team. I'm going to go with you. I'm not going to leave you alone,

Valentine's Day weekend, blah, blah. And so Thursday, we get to Burbank Airport, and we're getting out of the Uber to go inside. And Matt's like, oh, my God. And I just looked at him, and he was like, my passports at home at my mom's. Now, my mom lives, I'd say 12 minutes maximum from Burbank Airport, right? So I was like, I was like, well, and he was like, let's go back.

And I was like, no, no, no. I'm getting out of the car and I'm getting on the plane. and you're going to go back. And if you make the flight, great. And if you don't, I still have to go. Yeah. But, you know, he jets off in the Uber and I go inside. And because we had been talking about how badly we wished we were going tomorrow,

I was like, you know what? I'm just going to go in here and see if there's any world where these people will switch me to the flight tomorrow without charging me out the ass. Of course, I booked like the cheapest ticket, can't change it, blah, blah, blah. And so I go in, it's absolutely dead. And I go up to the counter and it's two women. And so I was like, all right, I'm really like, you know, I'm just going to go in on this whole, like men can't function thing and told them what happened.

You know, I'm getting out of the car. My fiance left his passport, you know, men. They just, if I, you don't do it for him that doesn't get done. And, you know, if I'm nagging him about his idea and his passport, then I'm the one that's annoying. But if I don't nag it, then he doesn't bring it. And so, you know, he went back to get it. I was like, but I just don't think he's going to make the flight.

I was like, is there any possibility that you guys could help me see if I can change our tickets to tomorrow. And I'm sitting here knowing that the ticket is not changeable. These two ladies were so lovely. They went above and beyond to help me out. They switched mat and I's flights to not only did they switch them to Friday, which allowed us to have an extra free day in L.A., which was nice. They put us in first class.

Wow. I know. Why? I don't know. They were just so nice. And when they agreed to change the flight for me, I was like, oh, my God, you guys are a lifesaver. And they were like, well, we'll be here tomorrow. So if there's any issues, you know, because my app wasn't updating.

They were like, we'll be here. So you just come find us. And I was like, oh, my God, can I bring you guys coffee tomorrow? like this has really done me a huge solid and I'd like to say thank you and bring you coffee and they were like shocked that I had offered to do that they were so sweet and so I brought them coffee uh Friday morning and whatnot and they bumped us to the first class and somehow I don't know if they had done it previously got us on we were first class on the way home too even though I literally booked the cheapest ticket so they really hooked us up so shout out to

those ladies uh the work at Alaska Airlines by far the nicest airport airline workers I've ever encountered and it just goes to show you you know like I was just trying to be nice and offer and because they had helped me out. And then it just pays to be nice. And, you know, I just think it's a lovely story. And because of them, I'll probably fly Alaska Airlines again if I have the choice. Let's see what the best airlines are in the United States. Based on 2025, 2025, 26 data, Delta is frequently ranked the best.

Southwest Airlines, JetBlue, and Alaska Airlines. There you go. There you go. There you go. Yeah, the one that, the one that I fly, American, not on this list. Not listed. Not great. Maybe I should switch on over.

Yeah, Alaska. I loved it. All right. And so, and Ben was cool. Yeah, it was cool. I would like to go back in the summer. Yeah. And do the hiking thing and all that.

But it was, yeah, it was great, good vibes. A lot hippies up there, you know. Yeah. Yeah. How is the stomach going? My stomach? Yeah. I mean, you know.

Have we figured stuff out? It's grueling. I mean, I told you about my gut test. right? Yeah. I'd tell you about the results. Yeah, but you are leaky gut, you're gluten intolerant. I mean, we're not going to go to that extreme. I've been encouraged to be gluten-free for a while so my gut can heal so that hopefully I don't have to be gluten-free forever because your girl loves gluten. I don't know that this is really going to be. I have been so good though. Like Matt was just bragging on me to this morning because I, for the past, however, two weeks, whatever it's been,

I've been so diligent. I have barely eaten out at all. If I do, I make sure it's gluten-free. I ask about seed oils, all the freaking bullshit, and I've been eating very, like, easy to digest foods. I've turned down sugar. The only time I'm having sugars when I drink my coffee, like, I really have been good. So I remember when we did the whole function of health thing and we did our blood work, did you ever do that? No, I didn't. Well, as you have to. I really loved it. Shout out function. Keep giving us ads. But, you know, some of my blood work came back like not okay. Like my inflammation marker, my high CRP was like a little elevated, scared me a little bit. My leptin was low, which means usually like malnutrition and it's metabolic and whatnot.

And so I've been changing my diet. I've been taking supplements. I've been going to this place called Aritaine Nashville. I've been doing ozone therapy. I've been doing IV drips weekly. I've been doing peptides. Like I've been doing all the things. Got a few of my markers retested last week and they're all better.

Oh, nice. All of them. It's incredible. Like my high HSCRP, which is your inflammation markers, mine was a 1.2. It's down to 0.8. which is now in range. My leptons back in normal range. I was really low in omega-3s.

I've been taking supplements and now I'm like extremely high. Like I got to chill on the supplements. But I just goes to show you that they work. All right. You know? But hold on. That's all well and good.

And also I don't know if I believe all that stuff. What do you mean? Sometimes I'm like, I don't know what any of this means. I'm not sure if anybody does. Hmm. Doctors. The real test though is do you feel better?

I mean, I think so. It's hard to say because like I've been at home for six weeks. And I haven't been, as I haven't been under stress. I haven't been traveling until now. So like, yeah,

I feel great because I haven't just like come off a fucking three months stint of playing shows nonstop and flying nonstop and stress. Like it's the time of year where everything is just slower. So yeah, I feel great. It'll be interesting to see like if that lasts, I think as the year starts to get busy. Yeah.

But yeah, I think like I'm really just trying to prioritize like de-stressing. And I am very guilty of like eating on the go and like everything's go, go, go. And I guess I just didn't realize how much I was, like, eating in a stressful environment or a rushed environment, which I guess has a lot more to do with your gut than you realize. And it probably matters more what kind of environment you're eating in than what you're actually eating because your body doesn't digest properly if it's in fight or flight and like all these things. So I'm just trying to be really intentional with all that.

Jeez, Louise, lots going on. Yeah. Well, I'm hoping you're going to be feeling better soon. I'm glad your numbers are better even though I'm not sure if I believe. I mean, I mean, I believe it. But like, I'm also just like, how much does like, much does like, you being a 1.2 down to a 0.8 inflammation, but what does that mean? I mean, you really, you want to be zero inflammation. I know, but you really don't want any. But what does that mean? Well,

does that mean you're not inflamed? I mean, I'm inflamed, I'm just not as inflamed, which is great. Your 0.8 inflamed. Here's what I'll tell you about inflammation. And I really do believe, like, of all the markers and all the blood work, I really think, like, paying attention to inflammation is so important because at the

end of the day, cancer, disease, autoimmune, all those things originate from inflammation. It's like when the inflammation gets out of hand is when you start, when disease takes over your body. So I do think it's the one thing to probably pay a lot of attention to is like if your inflammation markers are high, you should probably pay attention to that. And make sure they don't get worse. Well, that's why I was cold plunging for so long.

Because apparently that's really good for inflammation. It is. Really good. And, you know, if you're hung over and your face is puffy, getting that puppy. True. Tighten you right up. True.

I was traveling as well over the weekend. Oh, yeah. What'd you go? And up to Carmel, Monterey, Pebble Beach. I heard the one is now open through Big Sur, where it was closed for so long. That's good to hear. Open. That's such a fun drive to do.

Especially like if you've never been over here, like you should do the, it doesn't really go all the way from L.A. up to Big Sur. No. It really starts at like San Luis Obispo, I think. Okay. But you can get on the one like over by your sister's house. And then 101. And then it goes to the 101.

And then back on the one. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, we were up in Carmel for the AT&T, Hellble Beach Pro Am. I was with all the people, all the folks from IHeart. So Ben Higgins was there.

Nice. Dean and Kaelin Bell were there. Zach Shalcross and Katie Shalcross were there. Bob Guinea, Bachelor Bob from way back in the day was there. And we just had the best gosh dang time in the world. Well, I love that for you. I know. And I heart fitted the bill.

We love that. We love that. Love. See this cute little B&B, bed and breakfast called Petit Palli. I recommend. There's like three locations, but the one that we were on was Ath and Unipro. Great little breakfast thing. Very simple, but just like good, you know, it wasn't like you make your own waffle.

You know, sometimes you do that. Yeah, I love that. And then there's like the cereal dispenser. And you're like, I don't know what this is. Listen, if I wanted to cook, I would have been in the kitchen. Yeah. But they had like freshly baked sourdough and then like whipped. Butter. It was like so simple. And then like hard boiled egg, but not completely hard boiled. It was one of those,

it was like British style where you like, it's in one of those little dishes and then you dip your toast in it. Yum. Oh, what a great thing. And so simple. All right. I know January is almost over, but it's not too late to start your year off with healthier eating. And if you just don't know where to begin, let me tell you guys about Hungry Root.

walked around Pebble Beach and it was beautiful. Blue skies, no wind. I wore a sweater, didn't wear it at all because it was too hot, which is not normally the case there in Carmel. But we had so much fun. Then we went to Mission Ranch, had a delicious dinner. You know, we started singing at the piano with all the old crooners and we were dancing and stuff.

And then that bar closed at 9.30 because old people. And then we went to Barmel and got Toasty. Barmel, you say. Bar Mell. Okay. Anyways, and then I drove back yesterday. And here we are today. Here you are.

So, yeah, we had a great time. It was fun. I actually did, like, so I work with IHart for that Traders podcast. So we did a Traders podcast, but it was like a side quest with Dean and Kalin who were like obsessed with Traders. Okay. We drafted a super team. And I wanted to ask you this question.

Like, who in the world would you want to cast on the show, either faithful or trader? I'm biased, but I personally think Tish Cyrus as a traitor would be iconic. Could she handle the stress of it? She's a great liar. It's honestly terrifying. Ooh. I know.

I mean, she'd be good faithful, too, but like, I just think she'd be a great traitor. However, now that Lisa Renna's been a traitor, I feel like that kind of might ruin it for someone like my mom because maybe they would just expect her to be a traitor. Same thing with Donna Kelsey. Like, that kind of puts a target on someone like my mom, I feel like, for automatically being thought of as a traitor. Either way, I think she'd be great for the show. Let's get Tisch on there.

Yeah, I feel like she would be good. I think Dean would be good. Yeah, would he go on? I'm sure he would love to go on. Kaelin wants to go on. What about Miley? Do you think Miley would be any good at this? I actually don't.

I don't think Sarah would be good either. I don't think Miley would be good at all. Yeah. Yeah. My brother Trace would be good. Really? Trace would be good. He loves to fuck with people.

I feel like he'd be great. You think your dad would be good at it? No, he'd be a nervous wreck. Yeah. Complete nervous wreck. Yeah. What about Dome? I feel like Dom would be good

I think he would be too Yeah he's so like quiet and stoic He'd be very hard to read If he didn't already know him But kind of scary too You know I think what people would just automatically assume He's a traitor

Yeah probably so Just like his whole vibe His whole demeanor Throw me some names out that you guys said For like dream cast What I desperately want is I want Actual celebrities to start going on And I think like Lisa Renner's like a good start of that

Like she's an actual Yes she's a housewife But she was also like an actor And then that Stephen Coletti guy, I mean, yes, he was on the hills, but he was also like in One Tree Hill or something. I could see that like there be some actors that I think would be really, really fun. It would be cool if like Christian Bale did it. Oh my God. Because here's the thing.

It's interesting when you meet people who are fans of both Sarah and myself, they will always just come up to me and not to her. Interesting. Because they know, they think they know me because they, I play myself. Because you or you on TV. Yes. And of course, she is not Haley. or Connie Francis or whatever. So I think they feel more comfortable

coming to talk to me because they're like, well, I know from TV that you're like approachable or whatever. Totally. But with actors, they are playing different people and they're very good at playing different people. And no one really knows, unless you're friends with them, how they really are. That's true.

And like someone like Christian Bale, who is like notoriously known as like a method actor, how fun would that be? Everyone would be like, I have no idea if whatever he's doing right now, is who he is. Yeah. Or if he's putting it on.

That's true. And that would be fun. You know who else would probably be great? Then like in that realm, it's like Jennifer Lawrence. Why do you say that? God, she's also a method actor

and I just feel like there's just, I don't know, she to me, in interviews and stuff, she is so dry that I can never tell if she's joking or not. Like she is just someone

to me that is so hard to read. I just watched her on Amy Poller's, uh, podcast. Wait, hold on. You're talking about Katness Everdeen?

Yeah. I feel like she's goofy and like falling upstairs and like... Not anymore. She like had a kid and she's changed. Okay. She's serious now. She's very serious. Okay.

Yeah, I feel like she would be tough to read. Who else? Daniel Day Lewis? Oh, dang. That would be pretty fun. Yeah. Here's the other thing that we were talking about a lot. What's the best movie quote ever?

No fucking clue. If you're a bird, I'm a bird. What's that from? The notebook. Oh. It's Valentine's Day. I mean, I'm a boy. If you're a bird, I'm a bird.

What was that book about? Is that someone had cancer in that guy? The notebook? The notebook? Are you seriously asking me what the notebook is about right now? It's Nicholas Sparks. Someone's dying of cancer. Am I right?

No. Really? So it's about someone's got a notebook? It's about love. Is it about a journal? Is it about a diary? No. The only thing I know about the notebook is...

When's the last time you saw the notebook? I've never seen the notebook? Wells, that can't be true. The only thing I know about the notebook... That cannot be true. The only thing I know about the notebook is that is the meme of Ryan Goss seems like, what do you want? Great.

Yeah. You have to go watch that movie tonight. No, I will not. You have to. I will not. I will watch. It's so good. Dark Night Rises.

I literally was just, I'm obsessed with Margo Robbie, which, oh my God, by the way, I cannot wait to see Weathering High. It's going to see it immediately when I get home.

Dude, like, I feel like they fucked on the set of that thing. A lot of people are saying that. Dude, if I'm her husband, I'm like, hey, guys, will you shut up? No, I know. Oh, she's like talking about having his posters

on her walls and her trailer. And she'd have like anxiety attacks and you have to go find. Matt and I were just talking about this. He was like, if you act like that, like, I would be gone so fast. Dude. He was like, in no world am I letting this happen. I made the joke of like, I'm cool with Sarah doing the show with Jonathan Groff.

Because Jonathan Groff, you know, actually likes men and not women. Right. But I was like, but, you know, the second you have to do one show with Jacob Lorty, I don't know how I'm going to feel about it. I don't know about that one. And now I'm like, 100%. That man is a menace to vaginas everywhere. For sure. Yeah.

Love Margar Robbie, though. she's literally everything to me. Her wardrobe on this press tour, I'm not the first one to say it, but chef's kiss. She looks incredible. She said, I watched her in an interview say

that when she was auditioning, or is auditioning still, but she was saying, you know, going on these big auditions where she's like, well, Wall Street and all these things,

she's like, I would watch Rachel McAdams audition tape for the notebook before every audition to remind myself that the way to get a role is to just go full fucking sin.

Yeah. If you've never seen Rachel McAdams audition for The Notebook, you should watch it. She's so fucking good. Yeah. She's amazing. But I thought that was cool that Margarabi said that and that, you know, Rachel McAdams is obvious. Obviously one of her idols, which is so cool. Where was I going with that?

The notebook. Wells. It's like you have to watch it. It's a crime to have not seen it. I don't know if that's true. Greatest love story of all time. Okay. So your-Rombo and Juliet.

Although, actually, Romney and Juliet just ended really badly. So maybe it is better than that. Which one? The Boslerman? All of them. It's all the same story. Yeah. I mean, it ends. It's, you know, tragic. Two-star cross-lovers. They can never be because of the Montecuse and the Capulets.

I know. It's fucked up. It's like a Republican and Democrat trying to get together. It's like a... True. You know, Pam Bondi was trying to fuck Gavin Newsom. I'd watch that movie. Okay, hold on. Okay. Speaking of traitors. No, no, no, no. Okay. Fine. Are you caught up? No.

Wells. Why do you do this? It was funny because I have a show about it, but I have been gone for the last three weeks. So I need to catch up. I know. Who fills in for you? Dolores, Catania, and Tamridge. There's three of us, so we don't always have to be there. Got it.

Yeah. Do you still get paid? I don't think so. Oh. I know. That's fucked. I've lost some money there. Okay.

Do we not talk about it? Talk about it. Do you care if I spoil? No. Go for it. It's so fucking annoying that they cut the episode right before they fucking tell us who gets voted out. It's very, very frustrating. You know that Rob has brought Eric in as,

as a recruited trader. I feel like it's playing out the way Rob wanted it to play out. I'm not sure it was the best choice though. Okay. Like he knew Eric wouldn't be able to hold his shit together and that then Eric was going to become a target, which is what's happening. But I'm not sure that was really in Rob's best interest.

I thought it was really interesting. And of course it can be editing that at this very last round table, everybody was kind of going hard on each other except Eric and Rob literally said nothing. Like they were the only ones at the table to have nothing to say. And to me that was so,

fucking obvious. Okay. And someone called Eric out for it, but not Rob, but I'm like, but literally Rob didn't say anything either. Yeah. It's mind blowing how much Rob is getting away with on the show. So is his game plan like, I'm going to bring in traders and then let them fall in their own sword and then I always look like a faithful. Yep. You know what would be a, would be kind of a good play. Like if you, if you're having to constantly bring in new traders, they don't know when you became a traitor. Right. Right. Right. Yeah. So you could bring someone in and be like, I was recruited. Last night.

Mm, that's true. I totally thought Lisa was a traitor. I wasn't trying to go against her. I totally thought Candace was a traitor. I wasn't trying to go against her. I wouldn't do that to you. And then every time someone comes in and be like, I was just got recruited like two days ago, dude.

I don't know what I'm doing up here. That would be kind of fun. That would be good. And then just like just pick off every single one. I mean, that's basically what he's planning to do is what it seems like. It's kind of smart. It is kind of smart. He's just, yeah, he's ruthless.

I don't know. I feel like it's going to catch up to him. and I do feel like there are still just quite, like so many faithfuls left. I will be shocked if he makes it to the end and pulls it off. Yeah. But we'll see. Something's got to give.

Yeah. But who knows? Who the frick knows? Wait, back to my, the greatest movie quote ever, ever. Oh. I think this is a fun game. Oh, okay.

What do you think it is? Well, there's a lot of them. I think that like, I'll have what she's having. That's a pretty famous one. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. That's a pretty good one. Yeah. I'll be back.

I mean. Pretty epic. Yeah. That rug really tied the room together, did it not? You really thought about this. We were at dinner and the table next to us was like, what are you guys talking about? I was like, talking about best movie quotes ever. And they were like involved in it.

Yeah. But obviously it's like, it's just like whatever you think. It's like what sticks out to you, yeah. Yeah. He made me enough for I couldn't refuse. You know what? Godfather, Lord of the Rings, fly you fools. Anyways, I think it's a fun little thought experiment.

What's your favorite movie? Another than notebook. I usually say Bos Lerman's Romeo and Juliet. It's like my favorite movie of all time. I've seen it a gazillion time. My favorite line in that is, go girl, seek happy days through happy nights. Really?

That's your favorite? I like that. It's the nanny being like, you want to be happy? Go do sex. Mm-hmm. It is. Great movie.

Great movie. I also do love Interstellar, but I'm trying to think of like a line from Interstellar. Yeah. Do you bite your thumb at me, sir? I do buy my thumb, but not at you, sir. Mm-hmm. Oh, Marcuccio.

I know. What a great character. Great. Romeo and Jellyhead is pretty great. It's a great movie. Yeah. That I might watch. It's a good Valentine's Day watch.

Very sad. I like that. Dude, this might be a weird thing to say, but I remember watching the older one. That Juliet was beautiful. Yeah. I think she was like 14 when she did it. So that might be weird. But when I watch it, I was like in middle school and I was like this.

Yeah. I get it. Yep. I'd kill myself too for this one. Oh, God. I think she also played Mary in like, Oh. Jesus story.

Anywho, should we shot the show? Oh my God, yeah. Yeah. Go for it. I forgot. Rose knows you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with. Well, and Brian D. God, how many minutes in are we?

Good bit. Whoopsie. Let me ask you this. Are you watching the Olympics? No. You know, I'm not either. And you know why? No.

I don't know where to watch it. Isn't it Peacock? Yeah, but I watch a lot of cable. Why isn't it on NBC? see, like, you know, like. Is it not? No, I think it's on Peacock. It only?

I'm not, I don't know. Hmm. I just watch the TikTok clips. I know. I saw that like that one figure skater guy like completely screwed it up. I know. The guy that does like the quad, the quad. Yeah.

He screwed it up. Isn't that what it's called the quad? Quad something, I'm sure. Yeah. Well. Gray, gray. Speaking of quad, he's a fourth now. He's not even know if he won or not.

For whatever reason, I feel like I'm getting so much curling information. I feel like you talked about it last week, so now the phone's just probably Yeah, it knows. You know. Dude, so the curling thing, it's shuffleboard. Yeah.

Big shuffleboard, right? Yeah. You know, so they have these brooms, but they really look like swifers, you know? And they have these swifers, you know, and they can kind of move it.

And it's like, hurry, hurry hard, hurry hard, hard. Stop, stop, hurry, hurry, hurry. That's insane. So I'm like, oh, that's an. interesting, like, they got a swiffer, you know, I'm sure it's got like a sandpaper. I don't know, something's on the bottom of it. But then I saw a video from like curling back in the day.

Okay. Do you know what they used? No. Fucking real brooms. Oh. Like, just a, like a broom. I'm gonna, like a witch's broom. Oh. I'm gonna find a video of it. Like a long bristle broom. Yeah. Okay. Oh, touching down to the spinal shot. You got lots of weight. They're not touching it. They have real brooms. That's crazy. It starts to fall. It starts to hang there on it.

But he's coming now. He moves that he won. This sport is nuts. Absolutely nuts. But also, why can't we go back to the original brooms? Yeah, I don't know. I like this better than the swiffer that they got here.

And then also the swifter that they got now has got some sort of like device on it. And I don't know if it's like for pressure or something. then it seems it's gotten way too technical. I'm also the guy that's like playing a gigantic driver and I probably should be playing, I guess, with the wooden one. But the thing about the curling, did you see the curling cheating scandal? I cannot say that I have now. Okay, I need you put the headphones on for this.

This is wild, okay? First of all, have you ever like heard like Canadian hockey players talk shit? It's pretty wild, right? And they're like, they're like very good at it for some reason. They are. For being a people that are so nice, they can be really mean. This cheating scandal is wild because it's a Canadian guy yelling, yelling at the referee. Oh.

And they're both like hockey players. They're both talking shit back to one another. Okay. Anyways, you got to watch it. What's the point of the sweeping to make it go faster? Who? It's a couple. It's a couple.

Who? All right. Touching the rock. Who's doing it? You don't know it? Who? Who? It's a couple.

Who? I haven't done it once. Okay. I'll show you a video after the game. How about you walking around on my peel and the last day of dancing around the house here? How about that? Come on, Oscar.

Just f***ing. You showed you a video? I don't give a shit. You were cheating. If you're not supposed to touch it with their finger like you did, you were cheating. There's video footage. And also like him being like, I haven't done it once. And he's like, I'll send you video.

And he's like, no. And he's like, fuck, they might. in the video. Then he's like, wait, hold on. What about you? You aren't running around my thing. I'm sure he's like, I'm the ref. I've got to be in there, you know?

That's my job. Yeah. Anyways, seems stupid. The whole sport, honestly. It's so funny. The Olympics is this thing of like, we all of a sudden care about this thing that we do not care about for four years.

You know? Yeah. Like, you haven't thought about curling. Not once. Since the last time. To be honest, I don't even know if I thought about it. Last time.

Yeah. I like the figure skating thing. I like downhill skiing. But also, there's a mountain in L.A. If they had some race and Lindsey Vaughn was going to do it or not a chance in hell am I doing that. I don't care. No. I mean, I don't even want to go to the Super Bowl.

But like I would. I have. But like, you don't go watch a race? I don't know. But then, you know what? Who am I to say? Because I go to golf tournaments. I know.

And I would never go to that. But here's the thing about a golf tournament. It though. Here's the thing. You actually, I think you would love it. Well, actually. It's like a fair, right? There's like food and there's like music.

Exactly. And you walk around, you get drinks and everyone gets dressed up. Kind of like tennis. Yeah. It's a little bit of like an elevated. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. Whereas like if you go to a football game, like, there's a chance that you like will get a beer thrown on you. Yeah, I know. People are wearing jerseys. The food choice is like a hot dog. By the way, I'm not sure if you've come across these people. You have actually with your sister, probably a lot.

But there are adults, grown men who like their thing is like getting autographs. Oh, yeah. And listen, if you're a kid and you want, you need to sign your hat or the ball or something or whatever, these golf tournaments, lovely. But when a 45-year-old overweight balding guy comes, like, will you sign this like a picture of me with my shirt off from Paradise? I'm like, oh. No. I swear you guys, I had to sign so many of them.

like, dude. Your shirt off? They found like pictures of me from like paradise with my shirt off and stuff. And I'm like, what, you know, what are you going to say? But it's like, first of all, like I get it. You're selling this stuff. But like, how do you sleep at night, sir? It's very strange.

And even for like the athletes, baseball players, they've like their cards. And it's like, you're an adult. Yeah. You shouldn't be doing this. No. Get your kid to come to it and then steal it from him or something. Whatever. Still weird.

Still weird. Yeah. Every time I go to these things, I'm like, what happened in your life? Or it happens a lot, you know, obviously probably with Miley and Sarah too, where like, you know that they're going to be somewhere, like the Tonight Show or something? Yeah. So they stay outside to get signatures. You're like, what are you doing, man?

It's so creepy. I mean, don't even get me started on the whole paparazzi thing. It's a bunch of grown men following around young girls to take their photo. Like, it's fucked. Like, the fact that we haven't figured out a way to make that illegal, I do not understand. We'll never understand. Can't understand that. Speaking of the paparazzi, TMZ,

what are you doing with this Savannah Guthrie case? Because I feel like every day you're coming out with, oh, we got sent to ransom up. I don't think you're helping. No. You know? Yeah, I'm with you. I think that call me crazy TMZ

and that fucking guy that's always drinking the drink in the black guy with dreads, you know. Call me crazy, you two. But I think you might be using this whole thing for clicks. and for views. Imagine that. I think you're using this poor old ladies kidnapping slash possible death

for your own personal gain, not because you really want this woman to be found because I bet you if you had your weathers, you'd rather that she wasn't found ever. And this story went on forever because your numbers have never been better. Damn. Anyhow.

That was a nice rant. What do you think is happening with that? I don't freaking know. Yeah. I don't know. You think she's dead? I hope not. I hope not.

I know. But I have to be a realist. I think she's not. Dude, she doesn't have her medication. Do you need the calls coming from inside the house? I kind of do. I do.

I went over to my dad's house when I was in Monterey. And he has Fox News on all day. So I sat there with him for like two hours, an hour and a half, two hours. Fox News, I didn't even see like Tucker Carlson or like one of the guys talking. They just played that video. of the guy coming up to the ring camera. Do you see that? Over and over for two hours.

And I was like, this is wild. Broadcasting. Yeah. Like, at least cut to like people being like, look like, let's break it down. Like those look like a guy's eyes. You know, whatever. No, it was just over and over and over again.

It was absolutely wild. Anyways, I think the call came from inside the house. I do too. I think it's like the sister. I think it's the brother-in-law. That's what I think. Yeah. I don't know about that guy.

Did you also see the video of how, they're like the letter that she read to like the American people is the exact same wording that they used in Silence of the Lambs? No. Oh, let me find. Let me find it. Silence of the lambs. It's full of kindness and knowledge. Talk to her and you'll see.

Catherine is very gentle and kind. Talk to her and you'll see. Oh, dude. What? Why are you quoting Silence of the Lamb? That's very. fucking weird. Dude, so I wonder if like the FBI's

like, this is what we usually have you guys say. And then she read that? No. I don't know. I don't either. Anywho. Do you have any favorite things? Yes. Tell me. Tell me all about it. I

started. It's called Love Story and it's the JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bassett story. Okay. I watch it on Hulu. Explores the undeniable chemistry, whirlwind courtship and high-profile marriage of one of the most iconic couples

of the 20th century. John F. Kennedy and Carolyn Beset starring Sarah Pigeon. Her name's Sarah Pigeon? Yes, oh. That's cool, actually. Paul Anthony Kelly and Grace Gummer. Also Naomi Watts is in it.

Naomi Watts is in it? She plays his mom. Wow. Who's playing the Kennedy? Because he's a handsome boy. Yeah, I guess that's Paul Anthony Kelly. I've never seen him, I don't think, before. See what he's been in.

Yeah, he is handsome. Damn, damn that guy. Body language. He hasn't really done anything, though. He's going to start doing it now. That's pretty cool. He does look just like him in this, though. Yeah, I'm obsessed with the actress that plays Carolyn.

Oh, really? I think she's amazing. See what she's been in if she's been in. I don't really recognize her either. At the Pigeon girl? Yeah. She's beautiful. She is, you know, she looks like, she looks like,

What's the girl from like Yellowstone or whatever? Michelle Randolph. Thank you very much. A little bit, yeah. What else has she been in? I know what you did last summer, tiny beautiful things and Goth, ooh, Gotham. Oh, tiny beautiful things. I did watch some of that.

Also kind of a newbie. Gotham, though, was huge, I guess. I'm obsessed with her. I love that this is set, you know, in the 90s. Oh, it's Ryan Murphy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

90s fashion, 90s music. I truly didn't know very much about Carolyn Beset at all. I guess you have to take shows like this with a grain of salt. I don't know how much is true and how much they, you know, elaborate. But she works at Calvin Klein in the 90s and has this job as like VIP relations. And then Calvin himself like introduces her to JFK Jr. At some party, I just didn't know any of this. It's very fascinating.

The show is great. You know, I'm a sucker for a love story. It is Valentine's Day after all. Great time to start something like this. So yeah, I highly recommend. I started watching Love is Blind this new season. I thought you said it was trash. It is terrible.

Because it's just, well, at least the first part of it is just people. It's like a one shot of them like sitting in a room talking to nobody. Yeah, that's the show. I know that just, can we go somewhere? Can we do something? There's one guy. Gordon, maybe his name is. I don't know.

He's a bit heavier. He's like, everyone thinks I'm a big dumb oaf. But I really am a, I'm a. I'm a nerd and I'm quite smart and I'm into, you know, like cooking and stuff. I'm like, oh, I like this guy. I know. I started watching because there's just like not a whole lot of new stuff, I feel like, out right now. And I wonder if it's like people being like, we don't want to compete with the Olympics.

So like we're going to wait. I don't really know. So I was like, well, I'll just put this on. But I just, I maintain. I just hate the premise because love isn't blind. We all know it. I can't believe that they've conned all these people into going and doing this. thing because the show isn't is, I've said this so many times before, like the show isn't like,

is love actually black? No, it's can you please get dumped at the altar? Because that's all we're leading up towards. Yeah. It's like the thing of going to a car race for a car crash, right? Like, there's a, there's like this sick twisted part of like your, you know, lizard brain that's like, I want to see a car crash. Even though of course you don't because you don't want someone to get hurt. Yeah. And this show is like, it's all it is is like, it's just a car crash. You're just, you're You're like, I would like to see someone's heart get ripped into for some reason. That's so sad. I know.

Happy Valentine's Day. You are such a scrooge this Valentine's Day. No, I'm not just an honest person. And also, I posted a beautiful picture. Pictures. Did you like it? I'm not sure. I feel like my algorithm is like not getting to peeps these days.

Let me see. I know. Getting the peat is, I think it's probably because you don't post enough, which I'm very guilty of. So I can't really talk. Want to get out of here? You like that? Nice. I think it felt like that's awesome.

You're insane. Because it's like we're leaving. Great photos. I know. I'm still, yes. Yes, am I using my engagement photos still? 100%. It's the last time I looked good.

You're like, I have no new content. I got nothing good. You'll be receiving. Yeah, you're going to see me 10 pounds lighter and yeah. That's fair. Whatever. RIP James Vanderbeek. So sad.

So sad. I got to meet. him. You did? I Heart Awards. What's this thing in Vegas? Whatever. Yeah, the festival. Yeah. Iheart Fest. We, uh, we're all hanging out backstage and then Sarah and I and James and his wife had to fly home. So Iheart was like, don't worry, we got you a private plane. And we were like, okay. Now, was that private plane a prop engine? Oh God. Like four-seater? You're kidding. Yes. Was it terrible? We were all like, I would literally saw it and been like, you know what, I'll drive. I'm good.

I'm all right. We all were like white knuckling it through. We're like, holy shit. Like book me on arrow. Thank you. Bye. Anyways, they were so lovely and so nice and it's so sad to see someone like such a bright light, you know, go. And I saw this video that he had posted and I wanted to play it because it resonated with me.

Anybody else out there finding that your New Year's resolution was impossible to keep? I'm going to say something. I don't think it's your fault. I think it makes total sense. Why are we celebrating a new year in the dead of winter? True. Why are we celebrating new beginnings at a time when nature rests? Animals are hibernating.

Birds fly south for the winter. The time to celebrate a new beginning and a new you and a new resolution is in the spring, the vernal equinox, and the flowers bloom, and it gets warmer, and the birds return. That's how nature does it. Why are we fighting nature? I mean, all due respect to Pope Gregory the 8th, who saddled us with this Gregorian calendar system, but it just makes absolutely no sense. Plus, hear me on this one.

If March is the first month of the year, that means September is the 7th, October the 8th, November of the 9th, December, December, the 10th. You see where I'm going to go home with that. So I'm going to say, screw it. I'm going to take the winner to recover, to rest. and I'm going to make New Year's resolutions in the spring. Who's with me? Love that. He's so right.

Yeah, he is. 100%. We all like, we're like, we're going to start going to the gym. It's two degrees outside. What are we doing? I know. This is the time in which we need a couple pounds on us. Yeah.

It's so cold out there. He is right about the months. Have you said that before? Yes. About like the, yeah. Yeah. It's so, so dumb. It is crazy.

Yeah. We can't go back. We could. I know. I go, how do we get someone to, agree to that. I don't know, but they should. Yeah.

I think he's 100% right. The year should start when spring starts. That would be lovely. It would. But then the end of the year, I guess, is always going to be depressing because it's cold in winter. But the end of the year now is cold and winter. It's cold.

It's not like the dead of winter, though. Yes, but a new year rebirth. That's spring. I'm with you. I'm with you. And I'm with James. What are we doing? I don't know.

They want us to be sad. They do. They do. They want to keep us down. They do. I don't know who they is, but they do. Oh, I know who they is. Everyone on that fucking list, I think.

I got some music. Okay. I really like this kid. Driving up to meet old and he's got a new last name. Ethan's with a girl. that I love at 15 living off in a minute ways But really things ain't too bad

I'll probably still see you around But it hit me like a train down memory lane I stuck before a sail sign in the ground That's okay Oh that's all right You do you grass will be green on both sides That's Riemann Wooten. I like that song.

Nice. That's good. I was going to do some voicemails, but I feel like we got enough. Okay. All right. That means I want some voicemails from you guys soon, actually.

I'd love that. 858-630-1856 is the number. 858-630-1856. Please leave us in voicemails. We're going to play them next episode. Yep. And also, we haven't done fuck you very much as in a while. We haven't.

You know? We used to do fuck you very much as just from like the reviews on Apple Podcasts. But I'm starting to see more and more comments from Spotify. So if you want to leave a fuck you very much there, go for it. I would love to read a fuck you very much from there. Sick. You have anything else? That's all I got.

All right. What are you doing? Where are you going? Flying back to Nashville tomorrow. Yeah. Excited to go home. I'm actually DJing in Nashville this week. I am DJ.

I'm doing a DJ set next week in Nashville at the analog at the Hutton Hotel for Maddie Pruitt. She's an up-and-coming artist. and I think it's her album release party, I want to say. Nice. Yeah, just got asked to do this, which should be super cool. I love anytime I get to play in Nashville, it's always nice. Always a bunch of friends and stuff come out and industry people that I know, which is super fun.

But they are selling tickets. So if you want to come see Maddie Pruitt and me DJ, then that would be sick. Wait, is Maddie Pruitt the girl from The Bachelor that was like the Big Jesus follower? No, this girl was on, I want to say American Idol. Hold on. Well, that's Madison Pruitt. That's the Bachelor girl. Yeah.

Oh. And she's got some bad takes. What do you mean? She's like trad wife and like, I don't know. Yeah. Her shit's cringe. This Maddie Pruitt, she was a finalist on American Idol. On American Idol.

How do you spell it? M-A-T-I-E. Oh, Mattie. Okay. Got it, got it, got it, got it, got it. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, so I'm going to be doing that.

And then, yeah, I don't know. I guess that's it. Sorry, that distracted me. I was like hearing it. I was like, what am I hearing right now? What are you doing? I got nothing. And I'm loving that.

I'm really loving that. I've been go, go, go, go, go. All the beginning of this year, whatever, if I want to call it the beginning of the year, but really the dead winner. And I'm really excited about slowing down, getting healthy again, working out more. Okay, copycat. Whatever. And also, yeah, in the middle of March,

I'm going to Hawaii. Oh, what for? Birthday party. And at the end of March... Someone's birthday party is in Hawaii? Yeah, my buddy... The fuck. That sounds awesome.

I know. My buddy Chad, who I do the golf show with. My golf show. Yeah. And then I got to go to New York to pick up my wife and get her back here. That's exciting. And then I got the Masters. But I'm not doing anything for about a month.

And I really am excited about that. Okay. Great. Love that for you. But we love you. out there, why have tears. We love you guys so much. See you later. Bye. Bye.
