Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - So I Have a Theory, I Have a Hypothesis

Episode Date: June 1, 2022

If you notice a difference in Wells, it’s because he’s part of a golf club, and he’s bougie now. He enjoyed his long weekend drinking Old Fashioneds while Brandi spent it at the Apple Store and shoveling horse poop. Their conclusion? You can’t put a price tag on having to clean up shit, whether that be other people’s drinks, or actual, literal, animal feces. Anyways, Wells then gets into some BTS of wedding planning, and tries to figure out what kind of ring best fits his vibe...Platinum, perhaps? Your hosts briefly touch on the Johnny and Amber trial as we anxiously await the verdict, Brandi has some strong opinions on the Grey’s finale, and Wells boldly posits that the Top Gun sequel is actually better than the original. Lastly, Wells shares a tweet he received that might just change his life, and ends today’s episode with some f*ck you very muches.  Don’t forget to rate, review, and follow Your Favorite Podcast!

Here we go. Time to start a podcast. Here we go.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. The energy for 7.15 a.m. is off the charts. You proud of me? Kind of, yeah. And I, like, drank yesterday because yesterday was Memorial Day. Oh, did you have a pool party? No, I joined a golf club. And this is the greatest thing about it is that they have these parties already.

And then you go, you drink, and then they clean up. Wow. What a concept. I mean, I love it. Isn't that great? What did Sarah do? She came to the country club. She did?

I took all of my friends. Everyone that would have come oh yeah i mean you gotta pay for it but oh you can't put a price tag on not having to clean up shit all right that's all i'm saying i mean actually you can i guess you can put a you can figure out how much a housekeeper would cost but i don't have that kind of time on my hands so yeah we celebrated uh and we honored those who have fought and served uh for this country by going to a golf club and drinking old fashions wow that's some pretty bougie shit bougie is at a premium you know i do know it used to be dive bars and live music, and now I've graduated to the bouge.

Now you're living high on the hog, as my mother would say. What did you do for the Memorial Day? For the Memorial Day, I flew from San Diego to Nashville on a crowded Southwest flight. I don't know how you do Southwest. But the day before that, Sunday, I actually DJed this rooftop pool party in San Diego, which was very fun. San Diego. San Diego?

It's Litty Kitty in San Diego. Well, no shit. I didn't know. I've only been like one time. Yeah, I mean, it's like LA, but then very close to Mexico. But Vegas vibes in a lot of places. They've got like nightclubs that are Vegas vibes.

The pool party was Vegas vibes. But then like also San Diego is just such a clean, classy, nice city with like all these nice restaurants. Like I just loved it. It was great. Yeah. A lot of people. Well, I mean, a lot of people live in San Diego. It's a big city, but like a lot of people that I know live down there, especially in the bachelor world.

Oh, interesting. I don't know anyone that lives there, but it's a big city but like a lot of people that i know live down there especially the bachelor world oh interesting i don't know anyone that lives there but it's a beautiful city a big fan really loved it like the streets i stayed right downtown you know that's that's where the hotel was and like it was it was like new york like the streets were so loud people were people take memorial day very seriously people were dressed in flag gear like it was the 4th of July. And I don't want to say they were out in the streets drinking, but it sure sounded like it. And there was just music bumping from everywhere. It was insane. So would you say it's one of your favorite things? Yeah, I love San Diego. I can't wait to go back. All right. San Diego is equidistant to L.A. as in Santa Barbara is.

And I feel like I go to Santa Barbara more than San Diego is equidistant to LA as in Santa Barbara is. And I feel like I go to Santa Barbara more than San Diego, but San Diego is, it's the same. And Litty Kitty. Litty Kitty. Santa Barbara is sleepy. Yeah. But you know,

it's beautiful. You know what Santa Barbara is? Uh, no. Bouge. Well, yeah. What did we just find out about me?

You are bougie. I've just, I've graduated to the bouge. And I think that's okay. You know? I'm on the wrong end of... I'm on the wrong end of 30. Yeah, I've worked hard. I've saved up some money.

It's time for me to be bouge. You've made a lot of margaritas on the beach. Oh, God. I gotta make some more. By the way, this is the last episode before I get shipped out to Mexico. So... Oh, wow.

I don't know the quality of shows that we're gonna to be having. It's going to take a steep decline. Maybe so. Or I ought to start slowly giving out spoilers. I'm missing a reality Steve the fuck out of this thing. Why not? Can you do that? No, I'm sure.

They'll drag you off the beach and throw you in in prison down there yeah contraction we should have a paradise prison you really should it'd be great you know like kind of like fuck boy island where they had the fuck boys to that little like isolation yeah we should do that i know i agree you're welcome great idea it's a good idea. Happy birthday. Thanks. You don't want to talk about it? I'm about to be on the wrong side of 30.

Like one more year and I'm on the wrong side. Well, the one thing that you can look forward to once you get there is the bouge. The bouge. I don't think you'll catch me on the golf course, but that's okay. Hey, equestrian friend. Don't want to hear it, okay? Yeah, that's where you'll catch me. You'll catch me at the horse show. I guess the bougie side of life for me will be instead of being covered in horse poop and dirt at the horse show from doing all my own shit,

maybe I'll be bougie enough to pay someone to clean the stall in the horse, and then I won't be covered in shit all day that'll be the bougie side of life for me what did I just say at some point you can't put a price tag on not having to clean up shit it's true speaking of bougie you gotta cut this but these hotels that you've got going on for your wedding are bougie who are you I'm someone who's getting trying to get married after three years honestly the fact that she still wants to marry you is a win so you gotta do what you gotta do you know at this point we're trying to price people out you know we don't want anyone really actually coming to this wedding so we're making them stick smart sorry you have to stay at the four seasons in the penthouse.

$7,000 a night. I'm sorry. That's all we got left. Guess you're not coming. Whatever. You guys want a big wedding. It'll be fun. It will be fun.

It'll be worth it for everybody. Yeah. Coming. Yeah, we got to do place setting. We met about place settings and flowers. We started doing tastings. Do you have opinions about things like flowers? No.

Sarah has very the only thing that she's been very firm on is flowers. I like her vibe. We have very similar tastes. When it came to place setting what it looked like we very much agreed and wanted the same thing. So I'm excited about that.

But I tell you what, man, best part about planning a wedding is the food tasting. That's true. People don't tell you about that. You get like a full on – because these people, you know, they want your business so they like sit you down. And it's like a full, you know, six course meal and they're whining and dining you. Obviously, they're trying to make the food be as good as it possibly can be. So you pick them and damn, I love it. I feel bad that we got to turn someone down.

What about cake tastings? Have you gotten there yet? We haven't gotten to cake tasting, which I don't really care so much about because I'm not a big sweets guy. I love cake. The other thing that I got to make a decision on, we've been talking about this, because this is going to be a decision for the rest of my life. Not the wedding, but yes, getting married, yes. But jewelry-wise, am I a gold guy for the ring? Or am I like a silver guy?

That's a good question. Yeah. When you think of me in jewelry, immediately what is your thought? I mean, I don't really know. Honestly? Yeah. I kind of feel like more silver. Yeah.

I feel like a lot of people answer that question that way. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like gold is more like classic, like it's never out of style really, but it's more traditional. Looking at you, I feel like silver might be more your tone. Yeah. The problem is that with my olive skin, gold does look pretty good.

I mean, gold would look nice. You can't go wrong with gold, that's for sure. I know, but then you're a gold guy. I just feel like, yeah, I feel like silver's a little edgier. What's bougier? Because we've gone away from edgy and we're going into bougie. If you want to go bougie, you better go platinum. Is platinum better than gold?

Yes. It is? Yes. Is that of the precious metals, is that the top? There might be more above that, but I feel like when it comes to rings and shit, like it's silver, gold, platinum. Yeah. I mean, it's also, that's why they call, you know, named record sales that.

It's like silver, gold, platinum, diamond. All right. Well, I didn't know that. I just thought, I felt like 24 karat gold. Is there a 48 karat gold? Does it keep going up? I don't think so. Okay.

I need to have the best of the best, of course. So I'm going to do that. Also. You want a platinum band then, buddy. Yeah. I also want like a rubber one for like when I work out and stuff. Do you know what I'm talking about? If you're going to change your ring according to what you're doing?

Doubt it. I know, but like if I play golf, I don't know if I'm going to want a ring on. Why don't you get it tattooed? Nope. You don't love Sarah that much to make it permanent? No, I just, and no, no diss to anyone who's done that or, you know, but. Not for you. It's not that like I'm worried that like we're

gonna break up and then all of a sudden i have this you know fucking thing i'm like the rest of my life it's that i don't think it looks very good well you could have your ring on over it most of the time and then when you need to take it off for golf or whatever you have the tattoo yeah i'm just not a tattoo guy. Okay, all right, fair. You don't need a rubber ring. It's stupid. I want one. Okay?

There's no way you're changing out your jewelry according to your activity. I think so. Well, yes, I think so. That sounds so high maintenance. Well, your boy's bougie. That's true. You want to start the show?

We should probably start, yeah. We should do that. I think it's you. Bros and hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with... Wells and Brandy. They're on the wrong side of 30, but they're getting bougie. I'm straddling the line. Don't you put me on that other side. I got a whole

year of straddling. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Yeah. You straddle. Straddling. You go ahead and straddle. Well, I'm still flexible enough to do it. Okay. All right.

Is that a thing? Ooh, yeah.

Both sides have given their final statements. They've adjourned. What a fascinating trial to be called for jury duty for. I would have been so pumped. So pumped. So pumped. Oh, so pumped. God. Yeah, they are the luckiest people in the world.

And they get to keep their anonymity. Did you know that? I know, yes. Let me tell you something. If I was on that trial, I'd be coming out being like, I was there. I made decisions about this. Make a podcast about it. Oh, yeah.

Make a show about it. Yeah. Here's the thing. I don't know if it matters what the jury says i think that ship sailed a long time ago in terms of in the court of public opinion i agree i think no matter what johnny won this whether he should or he shouldn't i don't know i didn't really watch the whole thing i just kind of watched on tiktok but it sure as hell seems that like there's a lot more justice for Johnny people than. Oh, yeah.

Hashtag Amber Alert. Anyone that's Team Amber. Yeah. I went and read some of our reviews and a lot of people were. There are a couple of reviews being like way to go. Well, is taking the other side of a girl who is, you know, the victim of domestic violence. And it's like, well, that's not fair because I'm just reacting to kind of like what we're all watching you know i'm not taking the side of anybody you just think it's entertaining the trial it is it's fascinating and the fact like

elon musk's involved in this but anyway he seems to be involved in everything these days yeah he's a little try hard these days and i need him to stop all of a sudden you really are like taken to being in the center stage yeah he is need you to pump the brakes yeah pump pump it pump it up so anyways it'll be interesting to see what happens with both of their careers I feel like Johnny is going to rebound and I think that we've probably seen the last of Amber Heard agree it's what everybody's thinking. I know. We're all talking about it.

Yeah. We're all talking about it. You got some fave things, bro? Bro. I'm just going to go ahead and get this out of the way. Okay. Get it out of the way. Holy shit.

The two-hour Grey's Anatomy season finale. Okay. Here's my issue here. I've done the Google searches. I know this isn't the series finale like i know it's not over but the way they did this made it seem an awful lot like gray's anatomy is fucking finished and i don't love that there were a lot of like flashbacks and montage and like just all this stuff at the end where they're showing all this um all these like clips from

you know earlier seasons and and mc McDreamy and all this stuff. And it makes you feel like it's all ending and it's all over. And I don't love that Graze because if Graze is over, I can't go on. I need this show to go on until I die because I grew up with this show. I love this show. It's part of my life. And I am not thrilled about the way they ended the episode with Nick Marsh storming out and meredith

just go back to minnesota go back and she's crying which obviously means she doesn't mean it and nick should have known better and he should have been like no meredith i love you i'm not leaving if you're gonna stay i'm gonna stay that's what nick should have done and instead he stood there like a fucking pussy because men are garbage and turned around and walked out like a loser and i don't love that okay nick i was really here for you. I was rooting for you. I was loving it. I was pro Nick and Meredith.

And you, buddy, I don't know. You might have just ruined it for me. You know this is a TV show, right? It's part of my life, Wells. Yeah, obviously. I love it. And I was really, really pumped about Nick and Meredith. I really was.

Did you? But true to all men everywhere's fashion he fucking disappoints and just doesn't do the right thing just leaves just leaves they all leave you know he did it turned around gone season over and now i have to wait all six months for the next six months i've just wait and just see if he does the right thing and comes back do you will this show go on forever it better did you watch er loved er i actually during the pandemic when i was out of stuff to watch i went back and started re-watching er oh yeah it's so good because that's what the greatest anatomy is right it's just like er yeah

but volume two god great show er give it in gotta give that a ding all right speaking of volume two saw top gun maverick and at the chinese theater oh did you get invited the premiere no i don't think so but our buddy glenn powell is is in the film he's hangman and so he texted like all of his friends and was like hey i'm trying to like have everyone buy tickets the same show so make sure you get your tickets at this theater on this day. So it wasn't like we walked a red carpet, but it was like all of his friends were there. That's cool. And he got up on stage beforehand,

talked about it and everything. I'm going to say this. I think that this might be the first time in cinematic history that the sequel was better than the original. What? Yeah. And that's saying something because Top Gun is a phenomenal movie. I know.

But this one is so good because there's more on the line now. Miles Teller plays Goose's son. Love Miles. Goose's son. Love Miles. Goose's son has resentment to Tom Cruise's character, Maverick, because he was with his dad when his dad died. There's stakes now.

There's more on the line. And then Maverick's relationship with Iceman is tough because Val Kilmer is literally dying in the movie, but he's also not doing well in real life. So there's a little bit of that and here's the other thing the cameras have gotten so much fucking better you know like filming in these planes and all these flybys

and all this stuff that they're doing like it's just mind blowing how fucking awesome it is like it's so fun to fucking run don't walk to the theater to see this thing like it is so good to see it in IMAX. Miles Teller is great. Glenn Powell is great. Dude, say what you want about Tom Cruise and Scientology. He's awesome. He is so good in this. Jennifer Gardner's in it. She's great. I absolutely loved it. Glenn's character. I didn't know what role he had in the movie he's kind of he's kind of maverick it's great go see okay it's fucking awesome wow and as someone who's like taking pilots you know lessons oh yeah how's that going yeah i haven't done in a while

classic yeah anyways top gun maverick dude very good all right i'm assuming you have to go to a theater to see this yeah and and you should because because of all the flying video and sound and stuff i think you need to see it that way makes sense but yeah i loved it okay great yeah don't even get me started on the fact that I spent the first half of my birthday at the fucking Apple store. And when I left, my phone worked less than it did when I walked in. So I'm not thrilled about that. Well, mine just decided to stop working. I'm assuming because they're about to come out with a new phone and they want you.

Here's what they want. Let me tell you what they want. Tell us what they want. They bug your fucking phone so that it stops working like three to four months before the new phone comes out so that everybody that has an upgrade will go and upgrade the phone to the like 13 so that they have to wait a whole nother year for the 14. Like, I swear to God, they plan it just like that. Like, I don't want to upgrade. I want to wait till September so that I can get the 14 so I can get the new phone. But they're going to make my phone crash and they're going to refuse to give me a new one because you go in and they're like run these diagnostics and

they're like well my iPad says your phone works fine and I'm like I'm telling you the phone doesn't work at all and then they do like all we can do is reboot it and all we can do is like take all your shit off of it and erase it and then make it a new phone and put all your shit back on but that means you're gonna have to reload all your apps you're gonna have to log into all your shit and it's gonna be a whole thing and i was like you know what i'm gonna do it because it's gonna be worth it if the phone will work well guess what the phone works less than it did before and now they're gonna force me to upgrade before my before september so that i'm gonna miss out on this new phone i have to wait a whole nother year just to do this all over again

what is wrong with your phone so many things okay so the reason i took it in is because for three days straight while it was horse showing. So it's not like I had a lot of free time for three days straight. I would like wake up in the morning and take my phone off the charger. And it would like, if I started trying to use it, it would freeze, turn off, turn back on and do the spinny thing. And then finally turn back on. And then I tried to use it again, freeze, turn off, like just constant for like three

hours. It would just not work. Like anytime I tried to do something, it would just freeze and reboot. And then after like three to four would just not work like anytime i tried to do something it would just freeze and reboot and then after like three to four hours they would miraculously start working again okay but i need my phone in the morning that's like what i need my phone the most like answer my emails answer my text like all things so after the third day i was like fuck i gotta go take care of this before i go to san diego like i can't go to san diego with no phone you know take it in They erase the whole thing takes hours, but you know, had backed it up, erased it, rebooted it, did this shit, updated the software, whatever they did.

And then I left with a phone that basically had nothing on it. So I left that day with like none of my apps on the phone. Couldn't use Instagram. I know, I know. And all this stuff. And it was my birthday. And so I, I feel like I'd missed a bunch of texts like birthday text and it was horrible. And then, so, and then you have to be on wifi for all this stuff to go back on your phone. Okay. Well, I'm not on wifi to go to the horse show for the whole day. So the whole day, my phone just wasn't working. And then I get home that night where I get home to my house and I'm back on the wifi. Guess what? App's still not uploading. Didn't upload for two whole days. So then I basically had a phone I couldn't use for two days. So now

it's doing weird things. Like if I call you on the phone, apparently I sound like a robot on the other end. I'm like, well, and I've restarted it. I rebooted it. I don't know what to do. So I sound like a robot. Instagram, I know, I know. Not that important.

Kind of is to me. When you go to take a story, you take like, if you like take one photo, it takes that photo and then you put save as draft. And then when you open it back up to like take another photo, it just fucking spins. And then you have to shut down Instagram. Okay, that's really inconvenient when you're trying to take pictures in the story so that you can use the filter. But you need like 12 to get one decent photo. I don't have to reboot the app every single time.

It's just a nightmare. And that's just two examples of what's going on with the phone. It's just not working. It's freezing. None of my apps work right. No one can hear me when I call. It's a disaster. Time to go to an Android.

Also, they murdered my battery. The battery was like not the best, but fine when I took it in. And now all of a sudden, it literally dies by 10 a.m. Like I have to charge the phone like five times a day. So that's my rant about Apple. And they suck. I liked it. Yeah.

Freaking Apple conspiracy. Okay. Well, in all that time, since Netflix isn't on my phone anymore, I had to Google. Okay. This is not new. This has been out for a minute

and it's been in my queue of like downloaded stuff to watch on the plane. Did you ever watch The Weekend Away on Netflix with Leighton Meester? I don't think so. Okay.

It's like when you watch the trailer, you're like, oh, this doesn't look very good. It kind of seems predictable or whatever. But you know, know easy plane watch it was an hour and a half long and i do love leet meester the story of like her and her best friend go on a girl's trip to croatia and i don't want to ruin it for anybody but someone dies and there's a whole investigation and whodunit i don't know shady boyfriend Shady boyfriends, shady husbands, you know. A weekend getaway to Croatia that goes awry

when a woman is accused of killing her best friend. She attempts to clear her name and uncover the truth. Her efforts unearth a painful secret. The weekend away. So it's not like an edgier seat kind of thing. You know, it's not that good. But it was a good watch. Like, I enjoyed it.

I thought Leighton did a good job. I really, really like the fact that she, like, even though she's on a movie set, like, it looks like she's not wearing any makeup. And she looks beautiful. Like, I love that. She's very minimal, minimalistic. And she's just gorgeous. I just really liked her a lot. Blair?

Yes, Blair. I can't believe we've gone this long without talking about Stranger Things. I haven't started it. What? It just came out. Yes, I know, but it's Stranger Things. What? You've already finished it?

No, we're close, baby. We are very close. Oh, my God. I can't believe you haven't. Okay, don't. Okay. Don't ruin anything. I won't.

That's hard to do. I mean, dang it. Like, is it as good as the other seasons? I don't know. I haven't finished it yet, so I'm not sure how I feel about it. But I have a new theory about Stranger Things. Okay. Don't ruin anything.

I'm not going to ruin anything. Okay, so you know how in Jumanji, you start playing the game, and then the game becomes real? Mm-hmm. I now wonder if all of this is just their D&D game. Could be. You know, the first episode,

the main bad guy is the Demogorgon, which is the name that they have in the D&D game that they're all fighting against. Yeah, I kind of forgot about that game. And then in this one, same thing. There's a new D&D campaign, and the new bad guy is who the main bad guy is in the D&D game. And I'm wondering if this all is just, like, in their minds. Like, none of this really happened it's just like what the dnd game actually looks like through their eyes while they're playing it's a good theory yeah uh it's great is this the last season are they done after this i

think so but i don't really know i was feeling like the answer is yes to that. It's tough because Eleven's lost her powers. There is a new character who is, I love him. He's so great. Hopper is like stuck in Russia. He's not dead. And Joyce thinks he's still alive, and Steve is still the greatest character that's ever been written for a television show. Like, I love Steve so much.

He is just the best. I want nothing but success for Joe Keery in life. All right? He's so good. Anyways, yeah, it's great. Like, it's everything you love about Stranger Things. It's stylized in this kind of 80s nostalgia. The acting's great, and you don't really know where it's going.

And it's one of those things of like, in this season, you find out that the upside down has been around for a lot longer than a lot of people think. So, you know, I think the thought was, was that like the scientists created the upside down and, uh, the truth of the matter is it's, it's looking like the upside down existed and the scientists just kind of

stumbled upon it and were able to like open up that rift or whatever. That makes sense. So yeah, anyways, it's great. It's lovely. I haven't finished it yet, but I'm wondering if this is all just a figment of everyone's imagination and this is just what the D&D game looks like. It's a good theory. I like it. And honestly, if that's not the thing, then maybe that should have been the thing.

Yeah. This is not going to be something that you're into, I don't think. Okay. And maybe a lot of, no, I think that a lot of YFTers will appreciate it. Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+. Yeah. I mean, I only watched the first two episodes, but it's fantastic. Ewan McGregor, bro, do you age?

What's happening? Are you and Paul Rudd just like drinking unicorn semen and like that's how you're able to stay alive like this? You look exactly the same. Hayden Christensen. He's back, baby. Love him. He's been away from He's back, baby. Love him. He's been away from Hollywood for like 17 years. I know.

And the only thing to bring him back was the dark side. Classic. Moses Ingram plays Inquisitor Reva in this. She is fantastic. Rupert Friend is very good as the Grand Inquisitor. Rupert Friend is very good as the Grand Inquisitor. So like in this world, it's right after Obi-Wan Kenobi like defeats Anakin Skywalker. He thinks he's dead and Padme's twins Leia and Luke have been like separated, right? So it's that time in between from like episode four to A New Hope.

that time in between from like episode four to a new hope during this time the dark side has these things called inquisitors which is kind of like nazi gestapo you know like they're going around trying to find jedis just like murder them this inquisitor played by moses ingram riva is looking for obi-wan kenobi like wants to fucking kill him but But I have a theory about Riva. All right. I think. So there was that, you know, that how kind of episode three ends is Anakin goes and he kills all the, the pad one,

padawan Jedis, you know, in the school. And it's really sad. I think that Riva was one of those little girls. Okay. And she is a double agent pretending to be the dark side, but really she is on the good, on the light side,

and she's trying to go through and fuck everyone up because she does kill the Grand Inquisitor. Or at least we think she kills him. I got a feeling that you're not bringing Rupert Friend in for like one episode. Like, come on, guys. And also in the cartoon he lives much longer past this this point so and obviously we know that they can rebuild them a la Darth Vader so but uh yeah that's my theory is that really uh Reva is is good pretending to be dark anyways

Obi-Wan Kenobi this is and this is also how I want these things to be i don't want it just to be three movies you can do this forever and that's what disney's figuring out is we can make movies they'll just be 20 hours long and everyone will binge it so anyways true obi-wan ken, great stuff. God. Yeah. There is another thing on HBO Max called Tokyo Vice. Oh, I tried to watch this. What happened? The subtitles are hard for me. But I turned it on because Ansel Elgort and HBO Max, like, it's two pretty great things. And, yeah, the subtitles are hard.

But it's only a little bit of subtitles and then sometimes it's not subtitles. Yeah. I feel like you really have to pay attention to this show. Yeah, okay. It's hard for me. I'm sorry. You know, for someone who makes fun of me

for not reading but listening to books, you really don't like reading. What do you mean? I read a book on the way home today or yesterday. Yeah, I know. But you don't like reading subtitles. Oh, no, I don't like reading subtitles. Yeah.

Because if I'm reading a subtitle, I'm not watching the actors. And I want to watch the actors. There's a whole point of watching a show. Yeah. Anyways, back to Tokyo Vice. Here's the tag. A Western journalist working for a publication in Tokyo takes on one of the city's

most powerful crime bosses. Tokyo Vice. It's, uh, how do you say his name? Ansel? Ansel Elgort. Ansel? Ansel Elgort. That's Ansel. He's so hot right now. He's so cute. Ansel Elgort. Ken Watanabe,

who has been in like everything. Like Last Samurai, Inception, Godzilla. He's great. Anyway, so yeah, it's all about Jake Adelstein, Ansel Elgort, living in Tokyo. And he is a journalist and he's also like teaching English. Tokyo and he is a journalist and he's also like teaching English he kind of stumbles upon this crime ring in Tokyo and gets all wrapped up in it and it's fantastic check it out if you can read how many episodes in are you I'm only like two episodes in okay but I really enjoy I mean the show looks I mean I turned it on because i was like oh this

looks great and i knew there was gonna be some subtitles and i really gave it a shot but maybe i'll give it another shot give it a shot maybe i'll give it one more i do love ansel do you want to make out with him yeah he's so cute i've seen him in person it's adorable yeah yeah way too young for me but hot you know i think you can do whatever you want it's not too young for you you're entering straddling the line yeah you're entering into the bougie phase of your life you can i'm entering into the cougar phase of my life is what it's sounding like i think you're pre-coug your mom's yeah yeah yeah you're right you're pre-coog. You're mom's coog. Yeah, yeah, you're right. You're right. Tish is looking fire these days.

Yeah. It's nothing. We don't know. Oh, last thing. I finished a circle. Oh. Hashtag circle friends. If you haven't finished the circle, I'm about to ruin some, I'm about to spoiler some shit.

Okay? Called it. Frank, of course you won. You're so pleasant and wonderful. And it went back, I think last year, yeah, last year, um, or last season, someone pretending to be like a single father, one, a catfish. And I hated that because what I loved about the first season when Broey Joey won was that it was people being themselves being like kind that won the money and then I didn't like that someone kind of used like this like sympathy like I'm a single dad thing to win I didn't like it and it's now returned back to if you're just a good person regardless of how you look you can still create like really wonderful relationships and

win that show and it shows that being you is enough and that's i like that's like the underlying theme there and i love frank the guy's a star and i'm really happy he won okay and that's all i have to say about that cute yeah super cute when does the bachelorette premiere? I think July something or other. A whole nother month? Dude, I'm just telling you, this is going to be, and I don't have any inside information other than talking to people on the inside, so never mind. But it's going to be the messiest fucking thing in the world.

Of course it is, which is going to be great. Yeah, it's either going to be great or it's just going to be really, really fragmented. Yeah. Like kind of all over the place just because it's so many storylines that you're having to probably tell at the same time like that's what it's easy when you it's just the bachelor the bachelorette's linear like it's just the bachelorette with the one guy, you know? And now it's going to be two women dating all the same people. This is what I hope doesn't happen. I hope that the show doesn't pit

the girls against one another. I know. Which I think it's an inevitability, unfortunately. I was kind of thinking that too. I mean, I feel like it's impossible to not be dating the same guys and not have some drama. Yeah. Unfortunately. I was kind of thinking that too. I mean, I feel like it's impossible. Yeah. To not be dating the same guys and like not have some drama.

Yeah. And what I assume is going to happen is there's going to be one guy that they both like, right? And there might be multiple of those people, but I assume there's going to be one guy that they both are into. And it's going to be like he's the bachelor. You know, like he's the bachelor. You know, like. Right. He's calling the shots on it. And that takes away from the like girl power of what the bachelorette is. Mm hmm.

You know, that's true. Yeah. So I don't love that idea, but we'll see how it goes. You know, we'll see how it goes. Yeah. You know, heard i i heard they like film the entire thing on a cruise huh i don't know if that's true or not but that's what that's what like i saw like on reality steve or whatnot and that sounds terrible that sounds like

my fucking nightmare right there yeah that sounds horrible have you ever been on a cruise yeah it's terrible i went on one i'll never go on another one. Don't do it. Ever. No. You're stuck there. Oh, yeah. You can't leave. No. Well, you can, I guess, when you go to port, but yeah. No, thank you. Mm-mm. Mm-mm. Can you imagine? Oh, my God. We're stuck on the

fucking Carnival Cruise, filming this TV show? I'm gonna lose my fucking mind! I got a tweet that was sent out to me this morning. That is gonna lose my fucking mind. I got a tweet that was sent out to me this morning. That is one of my favorite things. It's from Mark Grossman at MarkGrossman1.

He says, Kind of random, but as the owner of eight comedy clubs, have you ever considered performing? If you had even a 30-minute set, i could probably book you in 30 to 40 clubs around the country what holy shit mark grossman you randy listening to the right wells adams yeah you have the right wells adams i don't know have i made it mom i did it like

do you think i could be a stand-up no No, I don't. Which is why I think he's confused. Is there like an Adam Wells that's performing stand-up? Has to be. And like Chuckle Hut and Tulsa that I don't know about? Are you getting her thought? I don't got to think about this, Mark. Maybe you need to start writing like a 30-minute bit, you know? That seems hard. I need to get to the bottom of why he thinks that i can do this like do you think

he listens to the podcast and he's like well he's got some funny bits if he just kind of put all together like maybe we could do something here or like i don't know pretty exciting though did you like google this guy and see if he's legit or did you just like read the tweet and run with it i just well i read his bio says owner helium comedy club in philly portland buffalo st louis in jesus he owns a lot of these okay it's gotta be real because no one on twitter oh it's gotta ever never why would you that doesn't seem crazy yeah well we'd love that for you if you're here what is this thing the what's the comedy club here? The

Zanies. If you're here, Zanies, I'll come watch. Yeah. Or maybe we just do a tour, and then I do like, I like open up the show, you know? That would be great. I grease the audience a little bit. Yeah. Have I ever told you that one of my dreams was to be, have you ever been to like a live taping of like the

Ellen show or something? Oh, yeah. We used to have one. We used to have somebody that did this on the Hannah Montana set. Yeah, there's a guy that comes out, and he gets the audience excited. And he hosts the whole taping. Yeah. And I was like, I want that job. That would be so much fun.

You get to get everyone all jazzed up, but there's no real skin in the game because you're not really on TV, you know? Uh-huh. Great. jazzed up but there's like no real skin in the game because you're not really on TV you know uh huh great oh I feel like you could do that if you wanted I think I could too I don't know who to ask I need Ellen Ellen can I

I feel like maybe I need to start a little lower like does Rachel Ray have a show maybe like yeah can I even do live audience tapings anymore kelly i only work my way up like rachel ray kelly clarkson yeah there you go and then yeah then then i'll get to ellen yeah yeah i gotta i gotta pay my dues i gotta put in the time um i'm reading a book right now that's really good but I don't, I'm not quite sure I can talk about it yet because your girl got the like copy

before it came out to the Gen Pop Is this Colleen Hoover? No, it's not It's my girl that I love Her name's Jennifer Hillier She did Jar of Hearts and Little Secrets Two phenomenal books If you haven't read those two, highly recommend

And she's got a new book coming out called Things We Do in the Dark did Jar of Hearts and Little Secrets, two phenomenal books. If you haven't read those two, highly recommend. And she's got a new book coming out called Things We Do in the Dark. And I'm about two thirds of the way through. It's very good. I know it's coming out in like a month or so. So once I finished it and it's closer to the release date, I will recap it for you guys. Oh, I remember what I was going to say. I got to see like the first screening of my new show Best in Doe.

Oh, and? Love it. I mean, I know this is like a very, very early tease, but it's so fun. I cannot wait for you guys to see this show.

It's so fun and funny and positive and cute and really well done. Not like on my part, but like on the production side. So I'm very excited about that. Cool. Do we have any

idea when this comes out? I think it's going to come out in September. I honestly think both of these fucking TV shows are coming out the exact same time. I think BID and BIP will be coming out the same time. Cute. I mean, it would be nice if we could spread it out a little bit so I

could promote one and promote the other. But I guess, what are you going to do? I listened to Harry's House. Yeah. The new record. And? Very good.

It is good. It's phenomenal. Mm-hmm. It is an indie record. Sorry to say that. Oh, yeah. It is. Okay.

Speaking of Harry Styles, this is a review from Lindsay Annsey and on may 4th five stars thanks subject line come on guys do your research a lot of times you guys just talk about things you don't know anything about yeah no shit it's a fucking podcast the fuck are you talking about, Lindsay? That's all we do. That's the basis of this entire thing. Right? She goes on to say, Olivia and Harry met on the set of a movie she's promoting, so she didn't hire her boyfriend.

Also just seems Brandy wants to put in the least amount of effort and joking about not caring or putting in any effort. It's getting old. Okay, Lindsay. Literally the idea of this show is that we don't fucking have any idea what's going on. I'm sorry. I don't need to,

I don't want to do Harry Styles research. All right? I just want to talk about what I think's happening and be completely wrong. I think it's funny that people think we take this, we should take this more seriously than we do. This isn't like a true crime podcast where we're going to solve something. You know?

Right. I've been offered true crime podcasts and I don't do them because I don't have time to do that. Yeah. It's ridiculous. Well, I did know that Harry and Olivia are doing a movie together. I'm glad you did your research. Well, yeah, I mean, that's pretty common knowledge.

But, you know, she's assuming that I didn't know that. And you know what assuming does? It makes an ass out of you and me. Yep. My dad taught me that when I was very young. Yeah, it's very true. Very true.

If we had said all of that, the joke wouldn't have been funny. Yeah. It's all about the joke. It's all about the joke. It's a setup for the joke. Yeah. And I saw someone else was like,

why are you bashing on Harry? He's allowed to do other genres of music. Yeah, of course. But I at least get to have an opinion about it. And I love it. It was one of my favorite things. You don't get to be angry least get to have an opinion about it. And I love it. It was one of my favorite things. You don't get to be angry at me for having an opinion about something that I loved. And of course I loved it.

I'm an indie guy. Anyways, it's very good. I must say. It is, yeah. It's great. Calvin Harris has a song out with Dua Lipa. That's good. I love Calvin.

He's kind of been MIA. I like that. Yeah, that sounds like Calvin. Yeah, that's good stuff. I can't wait for Miley's newest music to come out. Have you heard it? Oh, yeah. I've been hearing some demos. It's so good.

Good stuff? Yeah. All right. Can't wait. All right. I feel like we did it. Did we do it? I think we did it.

Okay. Yeah. Can you believe it's going to be June tomorrow? Actually, by the time this podcast comes out, it is June. I know. It's so disappointing how quickly time flies. Why does it do that? I don't know.

I need time to chill the fuck out. All right? The vibes aren't right with you, time. It's flying. It's flying. What are you looking forward to the most in the next couple months? Well, I'm going on a little girls trip vacay with my mom and sisters next month. Or this month, I guess now it is.

So obviously I can't disclose where yet but i'm very excited about spending some quality time with my fam bam nice yeah jealous well you're going to mexico so go to mexico looking forward to that uh then like really looking forward to my bachelor party and then oh the wedding and then the honeymoon.
