All right. There's a lot of talk these days about how our health starts in our gut. But if you're a woman, it all starts with your hormones. And as I get older, I am truly learning that. When your hormones are off, everything is off, including digestive issues, mood, mental clarity, energy levels, and so much more. And the older I get, the more I realize that I need to get a handle on my hormones sooner than later. If you guys aren't familiar, hormone harmony is a game changer for women, struggling with hormonal and balancing. that leave them exhausted, both physically and mentally. It only contains science-based ingredients that bring back comfort, energy, clarity, confidence, and a sense of balance. Hormone Harmony has over 50,000 raving reviews from women all over the world, with 98% of them saying that they're glad they recommended it to their friends and family. What makes this formula like anything else in the market is that it tackles multiple hormone imbalances all at the same time. It creates a cascade of benefits all throughout the body and mine, leading to a better mood, more energy, and deep comfort. And I think that's something we all need. For a limited time, you can get 15% off your entire first order at happy mammoth.com.

she's ever watched, which is wild to say. And I'm not sure if I agree with that, but I do think it was a very interesting one. And it's like shocking. Even I was there and I'm still like, really? These are the decisions people are making? I feel like everyone kind of looked not great. I don't know.

We'll talk to Brandy about it, but I was just like, you guys know this is going to be on TV in like a month and a half, right? Like you guys, you're aware that this is being filmed, correct? Yes. Okay. These are the like decisions you're making. That's fine. I love it. But also, you know, it's going to be on TV, right? Okay. You know, you're at some point. Mind blown. I know one of the big things on the interwebs is one of the four cities of the United States. And, you know, it's obviously L.A., New York, Chicago, and then we're trying to figure out the fourth. I mean, I immediately want to go to Miami just because I feel like there's a lot of culture there. It's a big city. But then I got to say, you know, if you're going for, if you're going for diversity, if you're going for culture, if you're going for something that is authentically the United States, because New York is authentically the United States, right? There's Broadway. It's the Yankees, you know, Central Park, skyscrapers, L.A. is Hollywood, the Dodgers, and the ocean and California Lovin and Beach Boys sound and Laurel

Canyon sound. And then you have Chicago, which is like, I mean, you got hot dogs, you got the Cubs, you got the lake, you got the Midwest kind of portion of the country. And you need something to represent the South. And that might be Miami, but Florida is kind of its own place. If you're looking for culture, I got to say the fourth one's New Orleans. New Orleans has the river. It's got Cajun. It's got the music. It's got the art. It's got the music, man. But the food and the booze and the drinks and the age of the city. You know, and the Saints, I don't know, I think it's New Orleans. If you're coming to America and you've never been to America and you're going to go visit four cities, which ones should you go to?

I think New York is one of them. I don't even know if I think L.A. is one of them. Unless you want to go to Disneyland, you want to go to Universal Studios, you want to go to, I guess there's a lot of stuff to do in L.A. But I almost think that's like San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, you got to go to, but you got to go in the summer or in the spring. You can't go in the winter. Don't go in the winter. Dude, I've been a lot of Miami's pretty good. And, dude, New Orleans is always awesome.

So I don't know. I'm going to stick by what I said. I'm going to say New York, L.A., Chicago, New Orleans. Those are the four cities. The United States, market. Market zero, dude. What else is going on? Zach Bryan told all his fans in Kansas City that he's never going to go play in Kansas City again,

which is that seems like a stupid thing to do because Kansas City is a big city. It's actually two cities. Well, it's two states. You're alienating Missourians, Missoulas. How do you say their names? And you're alienating Cansians. Kansasans.

Kansas citizens. Why would you do that? But I don't know. He makes interesting choice, life choices. I just, he just makes, he writes good songs, you know, and it's tough. Like that,

Hey there, Madeline, how you been? I've been thinking of dawn again. That's a good song. And I bet people in Kansas. City, want to hear it? I don't know if anyone's big enough in the music industry to be too good for a major market concert. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't think that like the Rolling Stones are too big to be like, but we're not going to do Kansas City.

No, I don't think that. I don't think that's a smart move. Call me old fashion. Call me late to lunch. But I don't know about that. What else is going on in my life? I'm doing a fast right now I'm doing a pro long fast

We did some ads for prolong And it's like It's a fasting regimen Then also you know gives you But it'll get you eat a little bit You eat some eats and soups And some bars and stuff And you know

I'll tell you what it was It was New York Go and leave in New York with Sarah Dude because you can't work out there I would go run in Central Park But you just eat in New York Constant a lot, so you're burning a lot of that off, but, you know, let's just be honest, I'm just getting

older. I'm getting older, and it's harder for me to keep it tight. Uh-huh. Yeah, Paradise got crazy. We got to talk to Brandy about it. Let's, um, let's call her up and let's get this thing going because we got to talk about almost paradise. You know, so they brought the song back. Called it. Let's cut her up. It is time. It is time. The time is now. What's going on? Just hanging out? Nothing at all, huh?

No. There's a big, like, debate on social media what the four cities of the United States are? Four cities? Yeah, like the big... What are the four cities of the United States? The largest cities in the United States? Just like if... What do you consider the four cities of the United States?

Well, there's a million cities in the United States, though. The top four cities of the United States. We're going to get... Top four is in size, as a... in like coolest, as in like best shopping? Like, what are we talking here? I'm not really sure if there is a specific definition of what people want. It's just what are the top four cities? What are the four cities of the United States? Everyone says New York, L.A., Chicago, and then it's like, what's the fourth one? Probably Dallas. I mean, Houston's bigger than Dallas. Is it?

Yeah. Houston is the largest city in Texas with 665 million people. Dallas. So many. It's almost got double. Really? Dallas has 385 million. Dude, Dallas isn't even in the top three in Texas. What's number two? Corpus Christi is at 490 million. What?

San Antonio is at 467 million. There's no way. Well, so here's the caveat. Dallas is 385 million. Fort Worth is 347 million. So together. Dallas Fort Worth. I don't know if I agree with that.

Yeah, you can't be two cities, you know? You're going to go somewhere in Texas. Yeah. You're going Dallas. Yeah. I'm going back and forth between Miami. Oh. New Orleans.

No. I feel like you need to have a southern state represented if you're going to do this. Like you've got... Texas. Yeah. Is Texas a southern state or is Texas still like its own thing? Both. Okay, fair enough.

If I had to pick a southern state, it would be Atlanta. Yeah. See, that's another big one is Atlanta. If I'm from Europe and I'm like, hey, American person, I've only got time to go to four cities in the United States. What should I go to? Oh, well, definitely not L.A. Also, if you want to go to Disneyland and you want to go to Universal Studios and you want to go... Why would you come all the way here to go there?

Because it's like the home of Disneyland. No, they've got one in Paris. Go to go do that there. New York, for sure. Yeah. Definitely not Chicago. Wait a second. Got to defend my Chicagoians. It's not like the culture there is just not. As long as you don't go in the wintertime. I don't know. I'd say New York.

If I was going to pick a Texas spot, I'd say Austin, no, like hands down. I got to say, I think Austin is the most over-hyped city in- It's not. It's so great. Great food. Great shopping. The food's okay. The music's just fine.

There's homeless people everywhere. It's dirty. There's homeless people everywhere everywhere. I know, but that place really is just like, it's- New Orleans. Are you kidding? There's so many homeless people. I know, but New Orleans has the food.

I don't love New Orleans. I don't One favorite cities in the world It's very dirty I don't like the food there It's just not my favorite Oh man it's so great The music

The art just pours out of every crack And crevice of that old city On the river You go to a bourbon street You go to a Frenchman street Get you sell some Cajun cooking sister Oh yes The only thing worth going there for

Is the Benets Café Dumont Correct Yeah I don't know if I'd want to go to Atlanta If I'm vacationing I also wouldn't want to go to Miami. I kind of agree with you on the L.A. one.

Almost would rather go to San Francisco than Los Angeles. Yeah. Sam Fran. Sam Fran's cool. You got the Wharf. You got Alcatraz. You got the Giants. You got the 49ers.

Yeah. San Fran's cool. I know. And then like honestly like Seattle or Portland. Like those are really cool places. If the argument is where are you telling foreigners to go. Yeah. New York.

Mm-hmm. But Manhattan. Yeah. Coffee. Greenwich is where I want to go. Greenwich, Soho. Yeah. Upper West Side.

Chelsea. Yeah. Me packing. Yeah. And then I think I would say San Francisco. San Fran. Yeah. I think I would still say New Orleans.

I think just New Orleans is at such an interesting tourist place. Yeah. I could go either way with Chicago or Seattle. Wow, okay. Mine would be New York. I think San Fran. Yeah. You know, I've actually only been there like twice. We should go. I really haven't ever really like seen San Francisco, but I do think that's a good suggestion for someone that's not an American. So New York, San Fran, and then I would do Austin Jackson Hole.

Jackson Hole? Represent. Okay. So, hold on. It's the most beautiful place in our country. Fine. Okay. If we're doing that. Great food. Yeah. Wildlife. You can see the bison. Okay, if we're doing that.

If it's winter, you can ski. If it's summer, you can hike. Okay, if we're doing that, I'm doing Honolulu. Big Sur. No, not Big Sur. Big Sur is like a day in Big Sur and you've seen it. You know what I mean? You can't go all the way to Big Sur for like a day.

You never have been. I'm just saying, it's tiny. Well, I can figure out most of Jackson Hole within a day, all right? You can, but you could also spend two weeks there and not see it all. All right, fine. You know? Anyways. This was a great start to nothing.

Your mug said psycho. Yeah, Tracks, right? Matt would agree that it does. Yeah. Speaking of Psycho. Yeah. Bachelor in Paradise. Doozie.

Dozy. You want to start the show and then get into it? Yep. All right. Miriam. I think it's you. Bros and Ho's you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with. Well, then Brandy.

I told the YF2 years before I called you that Sarah said that she thinks it might be the best episode of Bachelor in Paradise ever, which I thought was a little hyperbolic, but I can see how she could get there. I knew that this day was coming. Like I knew this episode was coming. Obviously, yeah. So much of what I talked to the cast about this was cut. My thing that, like, really shocks me the most about this, this whole situation was, you guys know that this is going to be on TV, right?

That's what I kept saying last night. It's mind-blowing that, like, no one is understanding that this is going to be on TV. Yeah. Listen, I love the entire cast, and I got, like, no ill will towards anyone, but there's a part of me that's like, I don't know if anyone looked good after this episode. No one, not one person. Well, maybe go with the golden. Maybe Kim and his fucking shit ticker.

Why does everyone hate Kim so much? Dude, I don't know. He's like, if the whole thing, like, oh, he's liked every girl that's been there. Yeah. Oh, really? That's a bad thing. I thought that was the whole point of this thing. Like, you guys haven't?

Like, yeah. I know. I just didn't understand the Kim hate, to be honest. Yeah, well, because it was, I think it was Jeremy who was like on the butt. and he's like touchy feeling with every with every girl okay so he's touchy feeling with three girls from my math jeremy you've been touchy feeling with two so he's got you on one i don't like yeah that's just what we know about you know dale said the same thing i'm like dale you like there's another girl still here that we think you might be with what are you talking about yeah

opens up with the montage of jeremy missing susy calling susy they are leaning into like don't forget that this all happened. Yeah. Now, one thing that I thought that was interesting that they, I didn't see a lot of, but gets brought up was the, if Susie comes back, I'll propose to her today, line. Yeah. Which, that was said, right? Yes.

Okay. And I wish they had pasted it into, like, and they used to do that, where, like, somebody would say something and they'd be like, I never said that. And then they'd show it, like, immediately. And I wish they'd done that. Well, I think they've done that a lot. But when Bailey finally takes Jeremy out in the beach, I heard that you said that, that like if Susie Kim you proposed today

and he was like absolutely not true and I'm like wait hold on I think he did say that am I he did say that crazy anyways so we get like this is the whole Jeremy Susie Bailey Brian saga but it starts with Kim and Faith they need to talk

I actually really love their relationship not to fast forward through the episode but I'm kind of bummed that like that's who went home me too even in like the moment of like his heart's not doing great it's like it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for him to go? You know, there's a little bit of that thought.

Sure. But I'm sitting there looking at like Keith and Kathy and I'm like, what are we doing here? I don't understand. Kathy is good TV, though. She's great TV. So they need to talk. Kim's heart is fucked. Face starts crying.

It's like so cute. Yeah. Part of me feels like he's just like, I'm sure his heart's like not thriving. But it's like, I feel like he's milking it a little bit, which get it. Get it, buddy. He's got a heart monitor on his wrist. this might be a issue that he has or whatever he's like always just concerned about his heart I don't think that he's milking it I think he's a bit concerned because he's like an old

veteran where he's like I'm fine I'm fine you leave me alone I will say this like behind the scenes there was talk of we're not sure if it's like prudent to keep him here like we're getting nervous about it got it but anyways faith crying like I kind of got me in my feels and maybe the other like the cast isn't seeing that part and if they had that they'd be more like into their relationship. I'm not really sure. Lee is still frustrated by Jonathan. And then Han and I come in. We take everyone to this new exercise called Secret Rendezvous.

You need to do this exercise earlier. I agree. We wasted too much time. I think the hope probably was that like Dale would be like, hey, Alicia, do you want to go on a secret rendezvous or whatever? But it does offer Brian a good opportunity to kind of do what he wants to do. The comedy of it all is that Jonathan and Leo win. Oh, I know.

It's kind of a good twist. It's a, we couldn't believe it happened, right? But like what's frustrating about it is, I say this like every season where it's like, whatever you think your type is, it's not. Because if you knew what your type was, you would be with somebody, but you're here. So that means you don't know what you're doing with dating. And then you see like that with Jonathan and her actually being compatible and like having the same answers and you're like, you idiot.

Because obviously like Leah is not your. your type, I guess. Maybe she should be because you guys seem like you guys are actually pretty good for each other. Yeah. So Brian and Bailey match and they go in the little circle thing and Brian tells Bailey to consider it, which is interesting, right? And then he writes a letter just like, hey, I want to talk. Would you have gone on a secret rendezvous if you are Bailey? I don't think so. Just consider it thing. It's like, what? But then I just want to talk. I'd be like, I want to know what you want to talk about like actually do and honestly it probably would have made things a little bit easier because then brian wouldn't have to like pretend that he didn't say all this stuff you know

know it would have been like yeah i went took her what do you want you know we all know i have a lot of respect for bailey she like won't tell anyone what's going on she won't tell parisa that it was brian that sent the message you know she's like you know really like i think protecting people i guess So, Prisa is obviously freaking out And she's like, what the fuck is going on? And he's like, come with me, got to talk. So he tells Parisa, Prisa seems like kind of on board with it.

Why would you not be? Why would you not be on board with someone telling this girl the fucking truth about the garbage that she's dating? I don't understand why you would be opposed to that. So Sarah and I were talking about like, who do we think doesn't know? I don't think Parisa knows. You don't think that she knew about all this stuff

because she came later, right? And I'm not sure if she knows. I don't think Alicia knows. Okay. Because I think she came at Birds of Paradise. So that was kind of like after he said what he said. I want to say that like Perisa probably would have told her if she knew. I don't know.

Because it seemed like Parisa when she heard it from Brian, she was like, what? Like didn't know. That's true. You know? Yeah. People don't believe in Kim in Faith because they have black hearts and they don't believe in love, I guess, and second chances. I feel so bad for them, actually. So we finally get to, like, what we're inching towards is that Brian telling Bailey,

I wrote down, quote, half to people know what he said. So Bailey finally figures out that, like, everyone knows about her, which is, it's almost as bad as the act of doing it. It's that knowing all your friends knew and no one said anything. Totally. It's like a betrayal on all levels. I agree. The crazy thing happens here.

The entire cast is mad at. at Brian for what he did. Do you think it's because they all look bad because they knew and didn't tell her? Because that's the only angle I can understand about them being so upset is like he just fucking went and told her and now we're going to look bad because we knew and we didn't tell her.

I think subconsciously yes. Right. I think that the entire cast likes Jeremy more than Brian and they want to defend him. But yeah, I do think that. The thing that shocked me the most about this was how the women reacted. I know.

It's fucked up. I think that that's what put the worst taste in my mouth. Even though that's like not what I say, I say like this is, I understand bro code, but this is kind of douchebag code. But like, I think like watching it back, seeing Kat's reaction to it,

even Alex's reaction to it. I thought she looked the worst. And I think she knows it. I mean, she kind of said like I look bad. saying this. Her going to her in her room, their chat, like, it gave me so much ick because Alex is still saying, but Jeremy cares about you so much. No, he doesn't. If he fucking cared about you so much, he wouldn't have done this to you. Well, and as a woman, she should have been able to say that to her friend. I mean, here's the thing. He might care about her much

more than he did when he did all these things, which was, you know, like a week prior. Oh, a whole eight days ago. I know. It's crazy. I'm trying to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but I agree with you that the Alex thing I was so confused of. And that's something that they cut from the show is that Alex and Andrew sat down. And they told me that they were going to be voting for Brian because it was so messed up what he did. And I was like, that's crazy to me. Yeah. She said it to me and Hannah. And we were like, hold on. Was Hannah on the same page as you about it all? Hannah, Hannah was very confused. She was just like, How come no one's telling her?

Hannah and I knew. We really can't go in there and say, like, hey, just somebody. Like, that would be really weird. Right. I wish they had shown Hannah having the same take as you. You know, I think it would have been nice to see a woman up there saying, like, why are these women not looking out for each other? Like, why?

You know what I mean? Yeah. Totally. I'm glad that they kept what I said in because someone needed to say it, you know? Totally. But yeah, I had a conversation with them and I was like, I don't really know exactly what's going on. But I think from where I'm standing, it's going to look like you guys don't care about Bailey.

Yeah. And they're like, what? No, no. That's not it at all. Just Jeremy's our friend. We don't think we went down the right way. And I was like, yeah, but it's a big thing to know. And I was like, I just keep thinking if I was Bailey, I'd be so embarrassed at all my friends knew this thing. And no one wanted to tell me.

I know. But then I was so disappointed in her because she's just going to let it all slide and act like it's all. fine. And that's mind-blowing to me. I wonder if watching a back she feels a little bit different. Yeah. Well, I'm sure. Oh, also. Yeah. Him just going back to sleep. Am I jumping ahead of what you're about to say? I was going to say, she comes to Jeremy and Jeremy's sleeping and then he wakes. He's like, what's going on? And then she was like, this is what you said? And he wakes up immediately. Then he starts getting tired again. Then he goes back to sleep. I know. It's like, I'm going to sleep. And then wakes up the next morning and

seems to not really know what's going on. Yeah. Everyone else has been up, like, talking about this. And for me, I'm like, you care so much that you went back to sleep when your girl was sobbing and upset. What? It just like reiterated the fact that he doesn't give a fuck to me. He did sleep a lot. He slept a lot like during the day. That's why he was like sunburnt in the beginning. He was like sleeping outside and we're like, what are you doing, dude? Matt and I have an argument before bed or like someone's upset about something. You can't sleep because your person's upset and you're in the middle of this thing. And he had no fucking trouble going right back to sleep and sleeping until God knows when. It just didn't seem that important to him and he didn't

seem to care. He didn't. It didn't seem to like, like if that had been me and I had said those things and while also stringing along someone else, I would be up all night. I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that like I was lying about I didn't say that, but I did say it. And he's just so unbothered. It's crazy. Jeremy says at the time I was just playing Paradise. The argument that I think that could have gotten him out of this was, hey, you just had gone on a date with Andrew. I didn't know the current state of our relationship. I was concerned. I wanted to make sure that like I was protecting my heart. But didn't all this begin before she went out with Andrew? I don't know. I'm just trying to figure out a way to like make this. How do you how do you play this so it doesn't look like

the way it looks? But it just does look the way it looks. Because it is the way it looks. Yeah. You know, Dale kind of confronts Brian about it and he's like everyone's questioning whether Brian did it because Bailey's kind of protecting that he didn't say it. I'm sure Brian was... I feel like Brian should have just owned it. He should have. Like that's the thing that was kind of slimy about it. It was like, if you're going to say it, say it with your chest, what are we doing here?

Yeah. But like Dale being like, your integrity is too high to do that. And I'm like, whoa. And Dale's a pretty self-aware guy. I'm still like kind of amazed at like no one's seeing how this is going to look on the TV screen. I know. Bailey starts packing and she's just crying. It's just so sad.

Anyway, so the next morning, she doesn't leave, but she's packed up. She and Jeremy go on a walk. Almost immediately, she forgives him, I feel like. It's crazy. And it's a little bit of like, who hurt you in the past? Like, what's going on here? I'm confused. But Bailey continues to protect Brian.

She says it wasn't him who told her about the call. So then Dale confronts Brian and Brian's like, well, I think the girls told her, which if the girls were smart, they would have like, yep, we did. that yes we did we were the people who are being honest about it but no they're like we didn't say shit like cat's like absolutely not's a lie and it's like cat maybe don't just you could say that you could take credit yeah everyone's turning on brian i remember this night and i was just so blown away with like how it was going and brian was pounding champagne that night oh geez and i was just so blown away by everyone turning on him and I wonder it was at that point where I was like we're

playing a game for money now because I felt oh yeah I felt like the cast was like we smell blood in the water everyone hates this guy they're a strong couple this is an opportunity to get him out totally but not thinking of like how this is going to look yeah Brian kind of tells jeremy that he told her but then kind of doesn't but then at the end And Brian gets the final rose and Kim and Faith are gone. R-IP. And that's the episode. Now, just overarching thoughts.

I don't even like Brian and I feel bad for the guy because he was in the right. I just think everyone looks so bad like we said. I don't think anyone looks good. Not even Bailey because she took him freaking back so freaking fast. Now here's one point. Shockingly, Matt watched the last half of this episode with me. Matt was very much like he should have told his boy first. like it's not like it's not that it wasn't okay that brian told bailey it's that he should have just

had something to jeremy like hey man this is not sitting right with me like you need to do the right thing and tell her and at least given him the opportunity and then have not been like okay well if you don't i will and just said that to him then told her would have probably been the correct i think that was his one big mistake right is like going behind his back and making it seem sneaky and so that was matt's one point and i i get it sure brookode whatever go tell your boy first. I don't know. It's still so slimy to me that men will just like literally turn the other cheek and like just ignore someone treating someone like garbage and call it brocode. I don't know. I just hate it. All right, y'all, summer is winding down. But you know what that

I think that Brian's torn in two different ways. I think that one, I think he does care for Bailey and feels bad. And I do think that from the jump of Jeremy telling him stuff, I think it didn't sit right with Brian. It seemed like he was like, I don't know about this. No, I know, because it's icky. And the thing is like, okay, maybe he was saying things like that about Susie early on. But if I'm Bailey watching this back, he's saying, I'll propose to her tomorrow. I've never heard him ever mentioned. maybe proposing to me. I've never ever heard him mention being in love with me or what not. And

like the way he talks about Susie, who he went on one date with is dramatically different. It's not a good look. On the other side of the coin, Brian knows that Jeremy's kind of coming after him. Like in the last episode, we've kind of thought that they were going to take out Brian and Prisa. Brian's obviously got ulterior motives as to why he's being the night and shining armor, right? Yeah, which I think is where he went wrong, right? It was the way he went about it. I think that Matt's right. I think the right thing to do would have been to tell, hey, man, I don't feel comfortable with this.

And, like, I think that you need to tell her. And if you don't, like, I think someone will, just so you know. Alex knew about all this. I think she looks worse than cat, worse than everybody. Because Alex, to me, is giving the girl that's not a girl's girl's, that's, it's more important to her to, like, keep her guy friend on good terms than to look out for another girl that's being treated badly. My whole thing was always just, this is going to be on TV. I know. You want to do this first. Maybe these girls especially just didn't think it was going to be this big a part of the show. I mean, the producers or editors, whatever, they like went overboard, right? On all these clips and sound bites of Jeremy saying these things over and over. We've seen it a million times, right? Yeah. Like every episode almost it seems, they've shown some clip or audio of Jeremy saying something about Susie. It's been driven home to us every week. And because it did have.

earlier on, maybe everyone's under, you know, delusion of in real time, it seems like, oh, that was a long time ago. It was a blip. He said at one time, it's not going to be a thing. And maybe everyone's just thinking that on television it's going to appear to be a blip the way it was in real life. But what they're not factoring in is that these people are making a TV show. And of course, they're going to amp it up and make it even more dramatic than it was. And that's where like you think was such a TV brain, but like they're not thinking. And that was their mistake. Totally. I mean, you have to understand that if, A rose ceremony hangs in the balance of one thing that happened. You have to understand that we have to have context for why that decision is important. Yeah. And to have context, you need to have all the, you need to bring the audience in to understand, like, why this is an issue. Yep. And maybe I told them a little too late. I also kind of found out late, but, you know, everything I said in my interview, obviously is, like, heightened and maybe a little overboard and whatnot.

and I'm yelling and screaming and being like, I'm taking crazy pills. But I said all these things to everyone in front of me being like, guys, you have to know how this is going to look. You have to see that. And I remember the like the light in people's eyes being like, you really think so? And I'm like, dude. See, they're all in denial. The thing that I always like beaten the heads of these people is like, I'm not always right, but I'm always right. You know, this is my eighth season.

Like, I know how this is going to go. You're crazy. If I'm trusting anyone in this setup, it's you. I know what I mean. I'm serious. Yeah, I hated that episode. I mean, I loved it as someone who, like, he's liking the TV show, but like I hated it.

I don't know if I think anyone made a good decision here. The thing I hate the most about it is that Jeremy got away with it and Bailey's acting like it's all fine. That's the worst part. You know, if they are still together, I wonder if they're watching and I wonder how things are going. I saw that she went on like a vile files recently and, you know, she was saying like it's hard to watch back and all that kind of stuff. So yeah, I don't know. And you know what's crazy is it gets crazier. Like I like other stuff is about to go down. We like walk away from this storyline and

like a new one starts up in a second. Insane. Yeah. Anyways, that's paradise. I didn't notice they brought the theme song back in full. No shit. I could have told them like the first episode, I really wish that they had called me and been like, before you even talk to the network, I'm just to give you the notes that you're going to have to figure out, all right? You need the silly scene theme song.

Now, they didn't have silly bits, so they used the animals. They still cut Hannah and I out, which is like, dude, find two more fucking birds. What's going on here? Seriously. The fuck! You know, the silly things at the end of the episode.

You want that. You need to have funny taglines under the Kairons. And we're six, seven episodes in, And they found they got all the things back that, you know, Batser Nation was like, what the fuck? Anyhow, well, do you have some paved things, bro? I think so. Did you ever watch Echo Valley on Apple? No.

Movie with Sidney and Julianne Moore. No. But it does look pretty good, right? It's like a horror. It was pretty good. Matt and I watched it. It's not really about horses, but Julianne Moore's character lives on a farm and takes care of horses and gives riding lessons. So there's like a little horse element to it.

No one prepared me. for a very traumatic scene that I wish I hadn't watched. Yeah. Going to give me nightmares for a few months. But other than that, I really liked it. Sydney Sweeney is incredible in it. Julianne Moore obviously is always incredible. It was pretty good.

Even Matt was like, you know, that was pretty, that was decent. That was pretty good. I think you'd like it. Kate is dealing with a personal tragedy while owning and training horses in Echo Valley, an isolated and picturesque place. When her daughter, Claire, arrives at her doorstep, frightened, trembling, and covered in someone else's blood.

Echo Valley on Apple TV. I watched How to Train Your Dragon. Oh, that's very you. But this is the live-action one. So not the cartoon. The live-action one, as an ancient threat endangers both Vikings and dragons alike on the Isle of Burke,

the friendship between hiccup and inventive Viking and toothless. A Night Fury dragon becomes the key to both species forging a new future together. How to train your dragon. on prime lovely film really no notes if you got kids you gotta watch it it's great it's funny it's heartfelt you got to love toothless he's the sweetest yeah good stuff okay um oh i've all caught up

there's only one episode left of perfect match yeah our girl rachel is getting getting some good she's getting some good screen time she's getting some good option she's having a little bit of a comeback post clayton we love to see it we love to see it this is another one man i wish you watched this because this is another one where like there's some shit going down on on the show i guess like spoiler alert if you're not cut up and you don't want anything to be ruined let's fast forward a minute or so so a d who's from love is blind and she got royally fucked over by some fucking dumb dude and now here she is on perfect match and she's been with allie since day one allie's from a show i haven't seen i don't know which one maybe love is blind you

oh love is blind uk they've been together all season and they just did the thing you know where they separate the men and the women and they bring all the singles in for the groups. And essentially the men all behaved very poorly and kissed other girls and did things they shouldn't have and whatever. And all the girls, all the women didn't do anything. Classic. And so all they've come back and everyone's been like very upfront about what's been, what went on on this like floppy like mixer. And all the women are just sticking with their man, which is so fucking crazy to me. It's kind of like what's going on with paradise. It's like all these men are being trash. And the women are like,

the women are like, it's okay. Anyway, so like, all he's kind of done 80, dirty a couple of times during this season. And here we are and they're still together. The season's obviously airing and she's seeing it all back. And then fucking spoiler alert, I just saw on TikTok, they're pregnant and about to have a child together. Oh, my God. What? You're watching this back right now.

You're telling me you're watching this back right now and you're seeing how shitty he's being and you're going to have a baby with this man. Amazing. I don't understand. I love that. I love that for us. Mine blown. All right. So it's good. But what's happening with Rache? Rache, she's got some options.

She's, you know, she's been hopping around, which I love for her. Is Clayton gone? She's breaking hearts left and right. About damn time, the table's turned, you know? Is Clayton gone? He keeps caught, like, whenever they bring everyone back, because there's, like, moments where they bring in the whole cast, like, he's there, but he ain't getting any action at all. No.

Poor guy. Poor guy. You know, I really, I would suggest having someone help you with your wardrobe, Clayton, that might help you out, just a hair. Okay. Not sure. I love the outfit choices. Got it. Did I tell you about 28 years later?

I don't think so. Loved 28 days later. This is the new one. A group of survivors of the rage virus live on a small island. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders that have mutated not only the infected, but other survivors. 28 years later. So obviously it happens 28 years after the virus takes. takes hold. Yep.

Ralph Fines is in it, actually. Who's that? He was Voldemort in Harry Potter. He's been in like everything. Really good, really fun. Good zombie movie, and now they've got, like, some of the zombies are alphas, quote unquote, and they're just like these big muscular dudes with the biggest weaners. Comically large.

You're like, is that why you think that like alpha's just all of big wangs? No, that's not true. It might be. I mean, maybe, but like this big? I mean, we're talking like down to your knee. That seems extreme. Yeah, if you watch it, you'll be like, okay, I see what you're saying. Real big wangs.

Okay. But anyways, very, very fun. And they've set it up for like the next one. So into it. Yeah. I'm watching, I think it's season three of the summer. I turned pretty, which is back. I mean, listen, not a whole lot to say here.

I know it's one of those things we're like, so it's these two brothers. And in the first season, she's with one brother and now she's with the other one. And she's been with the other one now for like four years and now they're engaged and blah, blah, blah, blah. And everybody is still team brother number one. And I don't really get why because brother number one didn't treat her great. And brother number two treats are really great and loves her a whole lot and they seem great together. And I just don't understand why we're still voting for brother number one here. But somehow we are.

Is that his name brother number one? No, but you don't watch the show, so I just thought that would be less confusing for you. All right. Brother number one is Conrad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Connie Baby. And brother number two is Jeremiah. Got it, got it.

Yeah. I watched the new Jurassic Park. Is it just like all the other Jurassic Park? Yes, it is. We rented it on Prime Jurassic Park Rebirth. Five years post-Durassic World Dominion, an expedition braves, isolated equatorial regions to extract DNA from three massive prehistoric creatures for a groundbreaking medical breakthrough.

Jurassic World Rebirth. So basically some crooked medical sales guy hires Scarlett Johansson, some other people to go down to Ecuador where the dinosaurs are living because that's the only place that they really can live anymore because world that is now is not like suitable for dinosaurs. They're all kind of dying out except for down on the equator. Anyways, and they're trying to extract blood from these three different dinosaurs because that blood will make humans live forever. And classic.

A tale as old as time. You know, it's a fountain of youth story. Under the guise of Jurassic Park, it's okay. I feel like the acting's not great. Yeah. Just really kind of at all. I need Chris Pratt in there. I know.

That's the last one. I watched. Yeah. Was the Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard one. Yeah. I like that. And even that one was like a little bit of them.

Yeah. Speaking of Chris Pratt. Yeah. Did you ever watch The Terminalist? I don't think so. Oh, really? Great show. Amazon Prime.

Came out a long time ago. And it's Chris Pratt and Taylor Kitch to, two hunky men that we love. And they're putting season, because season two is coming out, I think at the end of August, which I'm really excited about. A former Navy SEAL officer investigates

why his entire platoon was ambushed during a high-stakes covert mission. The Terminalist. Riley Keough is also in it. Taylor Kitch, Chris Pratt, Constance Wu, Riley Keough, Janine Triplehorn. There's a lot of big names in this. It's a great show. I talked about it before, but I'm all caught up on the Institute, which is the Stephen King book that I read.

That's now on, unfortunately, MGM Plus, which is hard to watch. But you can watch it on Amazon Prime. And that's where we watch it. It's fantastic. If you like Stranger Things, get in there. Figure out how to watch that shit. Okay. You'll love it.

Fantastic. We've been watching a lot of movies. If you've noticed, these are all movies that I've said. We're doing movie nights these days. I like it. We watched Super 8 recently. Have you ever watched Super 8? Great movie.

Dude. I had never seen it. What? It's a very well-y type movie. I know. And maybe I have seen it, but like, It is... It's pretty old.

So good, it is. It's from 2011. Yeah. Elle Fanning is just phenomenal in this film. She is. She is so good. But like the cast is great. El Fanning?

Kyle Chandler? Hot. During the summer of 1979, a group of friends witnessed a train crash and investigate subsequent unexplained events in their small town. Very like goonies, you know, like coming of age. These kids are all like these. They're best friends, and they like to make movies, hence Super 8, because they're filming on Super 8.

And so they're filming this scene. I think they want to be in like the Cleveland short movies, or something like that. And so they're filming this thing, and they've got a scene where they want to do it in front of a train going by. And then when they're filming it, this train crashes. And all of a sudden, the government kind of like comes down and you're like, what was in that train, you know? And like, what's going on? Anyways, it turns out to be kind of like an alien monster story. just an absolutely fantastic film produced by Steven Spielberg, written and directed by JJ Abrams.

I loved it. Yeah, it's great. If you haven't seen it, Super 8 is Super 10. I think you're the only one that I hadn't seen that. Maybe. Maybe so. And I have something that's terrible. Oh.

Terrible. Okay. For some reason, I came across the War of the Worlds. Now, not the Tom Cruise one. There's a new one. featuring Ice Cube. Matt and I saw this on the thing. Eva Longoria.

Clark Gregg. Like, the cast is pretty good. Oh, my God. My buddy Matt Corboy's in it. Oh, no. Well, whatever. It's terrible. And I'll tell him to his face.

It is, it's all done through, like, FaceTime. Like, it's the video of FaceTime. And they're, like, he's, like, FaceTiming his daughter. and the NSA director and the NASA director and it's Ice Cube and it just is the worst film I've ever seen ever. You have to wonder, like, who Greenlit this project? I don't know, but it's like,

I want you to watch, like, the first 20 minutes of it just to be like, holy shit, this got made. You know what it reminded me of? You know when you go to Disneyland and you go on a ride and, like, while you're waiting in line or like, while you start the ride, all of a sudden like a TV screen pops up and it's like oh thank god you're here oh my god so what's going down is that we need to get the coaxial stuff and we need you guys to and then all of a sudden like

it takes over and it's like a monster being like ha ha ha ha we're gonna get you you go i'm gonna skywalker and it's like oh my god we need you guys to go go go go go go and that's what it was like I was like, I feel like I'm in a Disney ride right now. It's so bad. You must go watch it. Must go watch it. So bad. You got to watch it.

You got just like 20 minutes. It's all I need from you. That's all I need from you. Next time you, you know, think you want to go to Disneyland or Disney World, might I suggest like going somewhere you've never been, you know? What do you mean? Well, that impression was just like really good. Like you've just been one too many times.

You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just change it up. Like to a different part. Or like a different... No, like maybe go see, you know, a new country or a new national park even. Like, I don't know. Listen, you got to talk to my wife.

She's the person that's made me a Disney person. I didn't... I hadn't been to Disneyland since I was 12. And now I go every year. Oh, shit. I go to Orlando. I go to Disneyland. Make her take you to the Paris one at least.

My brother and Sarah's best friend, they went as a couple's trip to Disney Cruise and they try to get us to go and I was like, I'm putting my foot down, guys. First of all, no, not doing a cruise. Have you seen any documentaries on Netflix recently? It's all about cruises and people getting abducted. It is. That seems like a fever dream, you know? That seems like something that's terrifying. Yeah.

Not going to happen. Well, what's coming up for you? I'm going to Denver this weekend. Nice. I'm playing at the grand opening of the Ariot store in Denver. It's like boots and western wear. Ooh, I like Ariad Shoes. You do?

I have a pair that you made fun of when we did a live show, actually. Oh, maybe you need some help with your choice next time around then. No. You know? Because Matt got some sick ones. So they just opened a store in Studio City right by you. Really? I'll hook you up to get in there and get some.

Get some shit. They're opening a store in Denver. I'm going to go DJ, the grand opening. And then Matt and I are going to take a little road trip for a few days. We're going to see some of Colorado. He's never seen. And then following week, I'm going to end up in Jackson Hole playing at the million dollar cowboy bar for an event for half days, the ski brand. That's a fun bar. So that's cool. Super sick. Love that for me. So we're doing that. And then from there, I go to Austin next weekend. And I'm playing at PBR team championships. Wow, rodeo riding? Yeah, I get to go to the rodeo and make some money and play a show. Are you going to come out on a horse? I wish. Maybe I'll talk to him. I don't know. You could do that. I could do that. And then next weekend, so I do that on Saturday, and then I fly home Sunday and I'm playing at Harriet's rooftop in Nashville on Sunday Day.

Nice. A lot of shows coming up. Yeah. What are you doing? You going to Canada? I'm going to Toronto on Friday to go film a new cooking show. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say much more than that other than it's cooking. Great.

I don't know how I got into this like cooking world. Yeah, I don't know. I guess it was cooking wells. I'm not sure. Cooking wells. It had to be. Yeah. Worst cooks in America.

I did win that. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, I have tears. That's all we got. Yeah. Okay.

Love you guys. Bye. See ya. This podcast has been brought to you by Podcast Nation.
