Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Solving the Issue of Transportation in America

Episode Date: May 5, 2021

This week on the pod, your hosts discuss everyone’s favorite topic: LA traffic. Okay but wait — they do offer some valid insights such as, what’s with all the helicopters monitoring traffic? Just use Waze! Also, problems with motorcyclists, and turn signals (like for example, why do people not use them?). They discuss how you can unfortunately (or fortunately) only be a weather reporter person in LA if you look like Sofia Vergara. Wells then has a few words for the developers of TikTok, if we can just slide in real quick after Addison. Brandi is wondering if Wells’ recent selfie was a cry for help, and she shares that her throat really hurts cause MT made her participate in her most favorite past time, #SorryWereStoned. Finally, your hosts of course touch on some faves (+ some least fave) things of the week. Oh, also, blonde Billie Eilish!!! Enjoy!  Thanks to our awesome sponsors for making this episode possible!

Okay. LA is great and all, but, and I know that this is not going to be relatable unless you live in LA, but why are there so many helicopters? Way too many helicopters choppering around. Enough with the helicopters. See if Brandi's ready to go.

Ding dong ding. Hello. Sup. What are you doing? I was just talking to the YFTers about, you know what my least favorite thing about LA is? You only have one? Yeah. I got eight million. There's bad things about every, you know, city.

Why are there so many helicopters? There's a helicopter always. I don't understand it. You're right. It's like, where the fuck are you guys going in your helicopter? There's a news chopper for KTLA. There's no way that

KTLA can afford to have a chopper in the sky at all times to check out the fucking traffic. Look at Waze. You don't need a chopper for this. It's ridiculous. Also, there's a high-speed chase. There's a high-speed chase in LA every single day.

If you're going to get into a high-speed chase, do not do it in Los Angeles, because guess what? There's a million choppers. So the choppers just follow your dumb ass around until you run out of gas, and they pop your tires. You look so stupid.

My brother is obsessed With the high speed chase He has alerts set On his No way Yeah and then if there's ever a high speed chase He turns it on Oh yeah he's all about the high speed chase No one's ever escaped a high speed chase

In the history of high speed chases I don't think Yeah I don't think so either Also this is another thing about LA. So LA, if you're a soap actress who is super hot with gigantic bazangas and a bunch of tight dresses, you, guess what, are now a weather woman on our local news. The weather women on LA news is ridiculous. The talent that the LA weather women have is on a different, they all look like Sofia Vergara, all of them.

Can you imagine like being an app? Is there meteorologist school? I don't know if there's meteorologist school, but if there is meteorologist school, and I assume that probably like work and you you know you want to work the big markets so like you go to columbia you get your degree in meteorology or something but you're just like a normal looking person but you're really smart and you understand ultra cumulus clouds the satan wins and stuff and like you like bust your ass really hard and you're like oh my god i graduated

top of my class and i want like oh my god i graduated top of my class and i want to work in one of the top two markets either new york or los angeles and you come out to los angeles and then you're just like fuck i don't look like sofia vagara can't get the job i gotta go work in tulsa or something i will say the weather in la is not very exciting i don't know why anyone would want to be a meteorologist in L.A. It's like literally 70 and sunny every day. Yeah, I'm sure. But Tulsa, it's exciting down there. They've got tornadoes.

They've got thunderstorms, lightning storms. I bet they've got microbursts. I bet they got a lot of shit down there. Microbursts. You ever been in a microburst? That sounds like something that like women do to their eyebrows. Maybe. But let me tell you, I didn't even know they existed.

And this was so long ago, but I was on a flight, I think from Nashville, but to Denver. And we get basically like to where we're about to land in Denver. And all of a sudden they're like, hold on, we have to divert to Colorado Springs because we're about to fly into a microburst and we could all die. And they took us to Colorado Springs. I was like, what the hell is microburst? Maybe Google it because I don't know exactly what it is. Something crazy. But I didn't even know they existed.

But they do in Colorado. You know, you're right about the weather being boring here. And that's probably why they got the bombshell meteorologist because they were like, this segment always sucks. It's like, well, today, folks, we're going to have 75 and sunny, a little bit of smog and the UV lights are kind of bad. And all right. Pollution is terrible.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't go outside and breathe the air. All right. Back to you, Bob. And they were like, man, this segment sucks. What do we do? Let's get Sofia Vergara in here. We can't get Sofia Vergara.

All right. Get whatever looks like Sofia Vergara in here. We can't get Sofia Vergara? Alright, get whatever looks like Sofia Vergara in here immediately. And then she's just like, and it's 75 and sunny and all the, everyone's like, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, tell me more. Tell me about the microbursts. A microburst is a localized column of sinking air, downdraft,

with a thunderstorm, and is usually less than or equal to 2.5 miles in diameter. Microbursts can cause extensive damage at the surface and in some instances can be life-threatening. Yeah, Matt, dude, the pictures of this thing, it just looks like God is taking a shit. It's just out.

Just kind of looks like a giant tornado hurricane. Yeah. Microbursts. Who knew? How you doing? Fine. Talk about weather. It is nasty here.

Like woke up, my room is pitch black because there's no sunshine outside to come through the windows. Raining, tornado threats, flooding war. I mean, you name it. I'm fricking living in it right now. They got microbursts going on or what? Probably, probably. So,

you know what though? Let's just look on the bright side here, even though it's not bright outside. Perfect day to podcast. Cause I don't want to go outside. Yeah, I hear that. I mean,

it's beautiful here. Guess what? 75 and sunny, a little bit of smog. Oh, sucker. A little bit of smog, a lot sucker. A little bit of smog. A lot of helicopters.

It's still a podcast. It's a difficult day in LA. It's a weirdness in LA. And you know what? After this, I'm going to jump on the 405, then go over to the 101, over the 10, and then jump on Spolveda, and then like cruise on over the hill, and then be at Sugarfish. So that'd be great. Oh, yum.

Should we start the show? Oh, yum. Should we start the show? Oh, yeah. We should start the show. Yeah, I don't even know whose turn it is. I think it's your turn. 75 degrees and sunny here in the greater Los Angeles area.

85 in the Inland Empire. Bros and hoes, you're listening to Your Favorite Thing Podcast with... Wells and Brandy. So if all else fails, like, you could probably do the weather on the news, you know? Like, he won't hire you back.

Yeah, not in this market, you know? I want to go to, like, Tulsa, learn about fucking. Yeah, Tulsa's where it's at. Tulsa is where it's at. Like, if you're in the weather game. I feel like if you're in the weather game, it's either like Florida or New Orleans or Tulsa. Yeah. Yeah.

I think I could do Seattle. Be like, yeah, it's going to rain today. That's like the same as LA though. You just know what it's going to be every day. Yeah, it's like, but yeah, but in Seattle, it's like you're like a little hipstery and like kind of don't care. You know, like, yeah, it's going to rain. It's going to rain probably. I don't know.

Maybe not. Whatever. Back to you, Gary. And you're like, yeah, it's going to rain. It's going to rain probably. I don't know. Maybe not. Whatever.

Back to you, Gary. Before we start, I have something that annoys me about TikTok. Okay? If the developers of TikTok are listening, or maybe there's a YFT here that knows how to do this. Okay? So, like, the way the algorithm of TikTok works, it's just, like, really popular videos that show up in, like, my For You thing, you know? Sometimes the video that I look at could be like weeks or months old, right? Right. It's not like linear where it's like brand, like I'm seeing brand new shit, which is like, that's annoying, but like, I guess whatever. So a lot of stuff that I watched there, you know,

it's like, like for part two, if there's something that I'm into, I want to go find part two, right? So then I'm like, okay, I got to go to that person's profile and then i gotta scroll down until i find where you can kind of see where it says just watched and sometimes i'm scrolling all the way down like months and months ago and like motherfucker this was so hard to find part two why can't there be a button when i watch it and i'm like i like this be like let's see the next one in this series you know because it's like so sometimes i'm scrolling i can't find it i'm like well that's over i've put enough of my time into finding i can't find it and fuck you okay find part two that's the only one for the person that did the part two because they're like dude the second one doesn't have as many views because it's so hard to find so figure it out

do better tick tock yeah i think there's a lot wrong with tiktok there's a lot wrong with tiktok it's so hard it's too hard to make like content on tiktok yeah it is i just don't like you have to have no life yeah you have to you have to commit your whole entire life to tiktok yeah we can't do that uh Uh-uh. No. I'm busy. Yeah. That's why I like Instagram. Instagram is like, oh, you got a picture?

Okay. Yeah. I had to take a picture and then I had to think of a funny caption. What was with your selfie, by the way? I don't know, dude.

So I'm just so starved for fucking, I don't have any content, dude. There's no tent to pitch right now. You know? I'm starved for God, dude. I'm star'm starved. I was in Palm Springs for my mom's birthday and it was a nice day. I took a selfie. No one's taken my picture ever. I'm always the

camera guy, just rude. Look at you, Sarah. I took a selfie and I was like, this is a good picture. I was blocking out the sun. I look tan, you know. Let's throw it up there. I don't have any content. And it was a picture of my face. That was my caption. This is a picture of my face. Wow.

That is the most gigantic thermos I've ever seen in my entire life. I'm trying to drink a gallon of water a day, Brandi. That's what they say to do. And is that a gallon? It's a half gallon. If I can drink two of these mugs, your boy is going to be hydrated. Hydration across the nation. Does that help with your high blood pressure?

I don't know. Sweet. My mom is very concerned about you taking high blood pressure medication and then getting in the sauna. Oh, no. She doesn't need to be worried about that. Apparently, going in the sauna is good for your blood pressure. No, I know.

But she said if you take the medication, it lowers your blood pressure. And then you get in the sauna is good for your blood pressure. No, I know, but she said if you take the medication, it lowers your blood pressure. And then you get in the sauna and it lowers it even more. And then you end up lowering it more than you're supposed to. Okay, well, let me calm Tis the Dish's nerves. My blood pressure never gets anywhere near too low, okay? Are you okay? I'm still on this medication and I'm still high.

I'm scared for you. Right now, we're shooting for like stage one hypertension. That's what we're shooting for for me. You boys high strong. How did this happen to you? It's genetics. Okay.

Very close up of your face. And I was just worried about you. Yeah. Well, you should be. Okay. Got the high BP. Sarah is in a different country working. I'm all alone.

I got no one taking my pics. The other thing is, I have golf stuff. And let me tell you what, people that follow me don't give two flying dicks about golf. But that's all I got. You know? I'm going to start using two flying dicks

a lot more. That's insane. That's nuts. Oh my gosh. Before we get into fave things yeah i didn't start with this yeah i smoked some weed oh no right before last wow my throat hurts so bad i don't think it's ever gonna feel the same oh yeah it's the first time i ever smoked one of those little like pre-rolls. Like a joint. Ouch. I tell you what, I don't miss that part of the weed smoking experience. My mom acts like that's not normal. I was like, does your throat ever hurt?

She was like, no, never. But she's used to it. But she said it didn't hurt in the beginning. But I was like, I never want to do it again. My throat feels horrible. How did you react to being stoned? Honestly, I think I have a very high tolerance because I was with like three other people and they were all way more stoned than me and I was smoking way more.

That's not fair. Well, you are a Cyrus. Your family is like the white version of Snoop Dogg's family or something. Does Snoop Dogg's family smoke weed? I don't know. Snoop Dogg does. I know that. I've never seen anyone in Snoop Dogg's family smoke weed? Well, I don't know. Snoop Dogg does. I know that. I've never seen anyone in Snoop Dogg's family, actually.

You're like this generation's Willie Nelson, like the Nelson family. I didn't get that high, but my throat freaking hurts. I'm never doing it again like that. Dude, I'm telling you. I'm sticking to gummies. But the problem with gummies, you never know what you're going to get. It's always a fucking roll the dice, dude. It could be nothing, or it could be you're seeing pink elephants running through the air flying dicks

ew just saying you could you like dude someone gave me a gummy at a party a while back and they were like don't worry it's pretty mellow and i was like all right and i took one and then all of a sudden i was just in the bathroom by myself, looking in the mirror, freaking out. And Sarah was wasty faced and was like, I'm having the best time ever. And I was like, I need to leave. I'm losing my mind. I've had the best time ever.

Oh God. It's horrible. I miss parties. I went out to dinner. Whoa. Whoa, bro. Oh, I have a funny story about that. I went to Palm Springs.

What's funny is, is that like my family, ever since I was a little kid, we've always gone to La Quinta, like the resort, right? And then it was weird that we filmed Tayshia and Claire's season at La Quinta. And so I was like, I went back there and I was like, this is so weird. We're doing this here. Like I grew up here. Anyway, so for my mom's birthday, she was like, I want to ask, I'll take out a La Quinta. So we're like, great.

Okay, whatever. So we, me and my brother jumped in the car and cruised over there. And then we went out to dinner and there is an amazing, like Mexican restaurants been there for, I feel like forever. And like now they just have the tables all outside. And so we walked over there. Also I'm vaxxed and relaxed. So I was, I wasn't worried.

But anyways, I'm still like wearing my mask and stuff. And it was the first time in over a year where I was out and relax. So I wasn't, I wasn't worried. But anyways, I'm still like wearing my mask and stuff. And it was the first time in over a year where I was out and about and I got recognized, which it's always amazing to me that people can recognize me with a, I've got a full mask on, right? The hair. Yeah, it's the hair and just like the muscles, you know? So I get recognized by, it's like a group. It's like two groups of just wasted chicks, right? Like my demo. I forgot what my demo was.

My demo is just wasted chicks, okay? They see me and so I stop and talk to them or whatever. I forgot how like handsy drunk girls are. Oh, yeah. And not like touched me inappropriately. But like, it was like, can we take a selfie? And I was like, yes, you know. Yeah, sure.

And then like the table behind was like, wait, who is that? And they're like, this is Wells. They were like closing in on me, you know. And then this one girl gets up and she's like, let's take a selfie. And she just grabs me and like manhandles me. And she's like, let's go. And I was like, whoa, like you moved me around really fast. I feel a bit uncomfortable

because we were told to like stay away from everyone. And all of a sudden this woman was like, grab me. And she's like, get over here. I'm like, let's take this selfie. So I was like, whoa, let's relax. So I was a little caught off guard, but I was, you know, I was talking to them. And you know, it's really funny when you're talking to drunk people. So I was talking to one off guard, but I was, you know, I was talking to them. And you know, it's really funny

when you're talking to drunk people. So I was talking to one girl, like, and I was telling her a story and then other drunk people behind were like talking to me too. But like, I was having a conversation with one person. I was trying to finish that conversation and they're like yelling at me,

being like, wait, what are you like? What are you doing here? And I was like, I'm not going to answer you because I'm finishing this conversation. You know, like this. That's weird that you're doing that. You would never do that sober to somebody. No, maybe, maybe not.

Anyways. So I get manhandled a little bit. And then I take another selfie with another girl. And she goes, I just want you to know. This is amazing to me that this is what you thought was like a good thing to say to somebody. Not that it really mattered to me. But she was like, I just want you to know that I like your fiance much more than you. And I was like, what the fuck? First of all. So, so I go, give me your fucking phone. She goes, why? I was like,

I'm going to fucking delete that picture. You don't get to have this picture now. But I was saying like jokingly, like, cause I don't really care. And also like, I like my fiance more than me. How is that what you think to say to somebody like i know that you're trying to be funny or what whatnot huh like that was like the first thing you just said was like i just want you to know that like i don't really like you but i like the person that you sleep with so let's take a picture you know so anyways to those girls if they listen which i don't know if they do but like it was wonderful to meet you guys and i'm sorry if i came across i i think i was nice and cordial

i just hadn't been around like a bunch of drunk people in a while if i had been drunk it would have been a little bit different but like you guys came at me with a lot of energy that i wasn't ready for yeah you're with your family yeah i, I was like, I got to go, you know? It was really funny. It's thundering here. I'm scared. Thunder buddies. I have another complaint real quick before we get into favorite things.

Oh, boy. What's with all the negativity? I don't know. Okay, and I can say this as a person who owns a motorcycle and rides a motorcycle every once in a while. I always forget you have a motorcycle. Yeah, I don't ride it a whole lot in LA. And this is very much a thing that happens, I feel like, in cities where there's a lot of traffic on the highway. You know, there's like this unwritten fucking rule that motorcycles are allowed to go in between cars.

You know? Which, what? I know, I hate it. It's already dangerous, what you're doing. And then you're like, let's play slalom with cars. Like, it seems dangerous. And these motherfuckers give zero fucks. Like, there's some sort of, like, slush fun that motorcyclists are throwing at cops.

Because I'm seeing people do this next to cops. And I'm like, holy crap. Oh, yeah. Cops are just like, eh, motorcyclists will be motorcyclists. I guess I'll just scoop up their brains down the road. It'll be fine. Oh my gosh. So here's the thing, like in Los Angeles, especially that, that annoys me about motorcyclists. If a motorcyclist zooms up in between lanes behind you, it's like this unwritten rule that you're supposed to kind of like move over a little bit in the lane to like make sure they get through. And if you do that,

a lot of times they'll like wave and say, thank you, which I get. Okay. But if you don't do that, there's a little bit of like a fuck you, you get from the motorcyclists, you know, or sometimes you just get a fuck you. And here's my thing to motorcyclists as a person who has a motorcycle, but I don't do the weaving between cars because I like to live my life. The onus isn't on me. The responsibility isn't on me to be looking backwards all the time when I'm driving. Because guess what? I'm not driving backwards. I'm going forward. So I'm looking where I'm going, not where I've been. Also, allegory for life. The fact that you can be mad at me for not doing something I'm not supposed to be doing. I'm not supposed to be

looking backwards, all right? Because if I'm looking backwards the entire time, I'm going to fucking hit the guy in front of me. And then I'm going to hurt my beautiful car. Okay. So looking forwards. So you can't be mad at me for excited. Didn't see you fucking zips roaring through in between cars. I didn't know, dude. So don't do it. Let's just build a motorcycle lane. We got a bike lane. You know, I know you're right. Why haven't we done that? Also, people, use your blinker. It's the most annoying thing. Don't even get me started on the blinker thing. Dude, you know, I go on runs with my dog a lot. And like, it's so frustrating when there's like, that happened to me yesterday. I was crossing the street. I was jaywalking, which we had like a jaywalking, you know, whatever. I was

jaywalking with my dog. Yeah, I remember that one. But you know, there's no cars coming one way and no cars coming the other way. Except for this giant truck. He was slowing down. I was like, are you going to turn right so I can go or not? And then he turned right. Dude, if you had turned your blinker on, I would have rolled the dice and gone across the street. But you didn't do that because you're a dick. Put your blinker on.

Motorcyclists, dress up. I know this is not that relatable because, like, most of the listeners probably don't pull a horse trailer. But let me just tell you that when you stop, when you're in front of somebody with a horse trailer or any trailer for that matter, and you stop fast with no blinker, like no warning that you're going to stop. I can't stop as fast as you with a trailer. Like the trailer, you just, you can't stop as fast when you're pulling a trailer. It's so dangerous. Not to mention it's uncomfortable for the horses. Like if you're slamming on your brakes they're gonna slam forward like it's just so unsafe and it makes me so angry when someone like zooms in front of me like passes me goes around me with the horse trailer and then

slams on the brakes and stops to turn with no fucking blinker like have some fucking respect for my freaking horses that are everything in the world to me that are in the back okay get it yeah now that we've solved the issues of transportation in our country like what do they think the blinkers on there for if they're not going to use it i just think it's like a freaking like i don't know yeah i don't i don't know either the only time i think it's okay not to use a blinker is if you're changing lanes on the highway and no one's around you yeah if like no one's behind you no one's even in front it's like not to use a blinker is if you're changing lanes in the highway and no one's around you yeah if like no one's behind you no one's even in front it's like okay you can just go

but if you're turning announce it bro let us know where you're going announce it for what it's for guys safety um you got some fave things bro bro while we're on the negative train let me start with some not fave things okay i wonder if you going to have a different opinion or if you've ever even seen it. Have you seen Stow Away on Netflix? I watched it last night. Oh, did you love it? So you're going to be negative about it? I hated it.

I thought it was so boring. It did not hold my attention. I was so upset. I love Anna Kendrick. I was severely disappointed. I liked it i was gonna be positive about it really like you thought like there's so many space movies and there's just so many that are so good that to me this one just fell so flat it just like didn't really have much

of a story arc i don't know here's the the typical lame A three-person crew on a mission to Mars faces an impossible choice when an unplanned passenger jeopardizes the lives of everyone on board. Stowaway. It's on Netflix. Just came out. It sounds so good, but it's just not that good. I disagree with you. Anyways, Cass is good. Anna Kendrick, as aforementioned.

Daniel Dae Kim, who's been in a lot of stuff. Lost. Anyways, Cass is good. Anna Kendrick, as aforementioned. Daniel Dae Kim, who's been in like a lot of stuff. Yeah, lost, exactly. Toni Collette, who's been in fucking everything. She's amazing. Is she Australian? Because she has an Australian accent in the movie. And I'm like, are you Australian? She might be.

Have you been Australian this entire time that I didn't know? She is. That doesn't shock me. She kind of looks Australian to me. She does look Australian, but she's always been American. I know. I know. So the story is this. It opens with them like taking off to Mars, right? And Anna Kendrick, Daniel Kim, and Toni Collette.

And it's just three of them going to Mars, get out, you know, and they're on their way to Mars. And they come across a quote unquote stowaway. And it was like a engineer guy who was like working on something in the spaceship that passed out before the launch and got stuck like in the spaceship somewhere. And then he's just stuck on the spaceship and they're like, what the fuck do we do now? And, you know, obviously like

there's only so much oxygen there. There's also something that breaks and they gotta try to fix it, like scrubbing the CO2 and, you know, yada, yada, yada. Got to figure out a way. So it's Apollo 13, but not a true story. And not as good. I don't want to ruin it for you.

I liked it. I thought it was interesting. I thought the ending was terrible, too. This was kind of like, didn't, I don't know. I hated it. Well, so the ending makes you decide what happened to for yourself i don't know but like here's my only question do you think that michael adams the stowaway do you think he did it on purpose or not i don't think so that's my whole thing if you when you

guys watch it uh if you watch it because he is an engineer and he says that I was going to apply for the next mission to go. And then Anna Kendrick says, well, I don't think you need to apply anymore because obviously he's on now the first mission. And I'm sitting there being like, was this your way to get on the ship? His name is Daniel Dae Kim, but in the movie his character's name is David Kim. He doesn't like the stowaway does he think that he intentionally did this and that's why he has like doesn't give a fuck about this guy's life there's too many questions that never got answered and you know what if i'm gonna spend a whole hour and a half watching a fucking movie about going to mars i want to see them fucking land on mars i want want to see some Mars on my TV screen.

Well, that's the thing. They're like, they're not going to get there because there's not enough oxygen. Yeah, I hated it. Oh, man, I liked it. So, whatever. If you like space movies, watch it. If you don't, don't watch it. Not the best space movie.

Speaking of space Netflix stuff. Okay, remember, what was the show we loved? Another Life. Remember that one? Yeah, yeah, yeah. When the hell are we getting that season two? I don't know. I loved Another Life.

I think I watched it twice all the way through. Really? I loved it so much. It's Katie Sackhoff and Selma Blair's in it. I mean, it was just so good. Yeah. It was just much more sci-fi-y. And I'm like a nerd.

I like that stuff. Was that the one where there also was an alien ship that came down and then we were going out to the alien ship it's like they're on the spaceship and then like halfway through like a fucking alien they find a fucking alien like on the ship or something somehow an alien gets on board astronaut nico breckenridge and her young crew face an unimaginable danger as they go on a high-risk mission to explore the genesis of an alien artifact. Yeah, I was right. The alien artifact lands on Earth, and they go out to where it came from

to get some fucking answers. Yeah, and her husband stays behind to try to, like, communicate with them. Yeah, what is happening with that? There's two seasons. They promised us a season two. It's coming because... Well because well i know but they've been saying that for years well it says 2021 and they've also got the episode list up now hurry

speaking of stuff that like we loved at the beginning of quarantine that's like now coming full circle pun intended the circle is back i saw that the first one was so good broey joey winning that thing i have a confession i never watched it oh really yeah you should you should watch it it's like really leaning into what i consider like what's wrong with our world it's you know it's everyone's like living behind these screens and you can kind of be anyone the autonomy of it all but also like i remember like what i thought was the overarching theme was broey joey who was who he was was the one who won just by being himself even though himself was like kind of broey and you know like a mama's boy and things that you can kind of make fun of.

But being himself, being who he was, he was liked the most, which that's how you win is you kind of are the one that's like liked the most. I like what they're saying is that like just being you is enough. And this one, I almost wonder if they've jumped the shark a little bit. Okay. Because you know who's on this one? Who? Khloe from Too Hot to Handle. No way.

These aren't normal people anymore. Now they're like pseudo celebrities or influencers. Khloe's funny. Like she has a lot of really good lines, like good one-liners. I can't wait to meet all the Americans and I think we'll all get along because England and America have never been in a war. And you're like, wait, what?

Wait, what? So there's a little bit of like jump the shark where it's like, these were supposed to be normal people and now there's kind of like a pseudo celebrity and not to ruin it but in the end of the second episode lance bass shows up and lance bass is on the show and you're like lance is here but then you find out it's lance bass's manager that's catfishing as lance bass and you're like okay is what is happening it's very confusing and of course all the contestants are like lance if you win the hundred thousand dollars what are you

gonna do with the money you're lance bass like you don't need this money and the manager says i'm gonna use it to fund an in-sync tour and everyone's like what as if you would need money to fund an inYNC tour. If they don't realize that that's a catfish, I don't know what to tell them. But anyways, it's like a little weird. And, of course, Chloe is like, what is N-Y-N-C? What does that mean? And why is there an asterisk?

Like, what is that? Oh, he looks like he's in a boy band. And then, of course, she's also like, oh, he's cute. She's like this other guy, like Trevor or something. And she's like, you've got some competition,vor oh my god you know nothing about this man like nothing who does chloe pretend to be her she's being herself oh so she's not she's being herself yeah of course everyone's like oh you're from fucking too hot to handle. Yeah. So anyways, I don't, I'm going to stick with it because I love the first one, but I'm not so sure about the second one. Huh. Interesting.

Okay. Speaking of things coming back. Yeah. Tell me you've watched the new Handmaid's Tale. No. Have you watched the old Handmaid's Tale? No, I read the book and then I watched a little bit of Handmaid's Tale, and I was like, I didn't like the book. Everyone loved the book. I did not like the book.

I didn't read the book, but the show is freaking amazing. Yeah. I can't believe you haven't seen this. I feel like you would love it. I don't know. It's so depressing. Wells! It's so good. So depressing. I really feel like you should give it a shot, since Sarah's gone and you have no life right now,

so you've got a lot of free time. Well, this is season what? Four, I think. Four. See, I don't know. It's too much. OK, so Elizabeth Moss's character, June, she's the main character. All right.

So she's in Gilead. This Nick guy. So she like, let me just give you the rundown here. And like one of the first seasons she starts. So, you know, she's a handmaid. She's supposed to have sex with like the old guy, the that said to give him a baby because his wife can't have children or whatever so she's supposed to be fucking this guy to have a baby so instead she starts fucking nick who is like the commander security guard or something i don't know he like lives on property

but he's like a security guard and she starts sleeping with him and they like kind of fall in love but she's got a husband back in the real world that she has a kid with and like the whole time she's like trying to get back to her husband and get her kid out and get back to her old life but like now she's falling in love with the guy here so it's like a little confusing okay then all of a sudden in season three nick goes awol and you're confused you're like wait i thought nick was a good guy now i think he's a bad guy he's like trying to climb his way up in Gilead and become somebody. I'm so confused. Now all of a sudden he's back and he's trying to help June.

He's like, I'm trying to keep you alive. But like, he's still kind of a bad guy. He's like on the bad guy side. But, and then I don't want to ruin it for you guys haven't seen it. So like, you know, just like plug your ears for a second if you don't want to know. But now all of a sudden he's like helping june and they like have a moment where they like share a kiss and have a moment and they're like i love you and i'm like what you do like you've been mia you're you've gone to the dark side and now all of a sudden

you're kind of coming back i'm confused by you i don't know what you want i don't know what your goals are i don't know if i believe you when you tell her that you love her also does she love him or does she not love her husband anymore? Like there's just so many unanswered questions. Also, they dropped another bomb. I'm not going to ruin this one. They dropped another bomb at the end of the last episode that I just watched about Serena, who's the commander's wife. They can't have kids.

And they're in Canada now. And she like totally threw her husband under the bus because she's trying to get her quote unquote daughter back. That's not her daughter. It's June's daughter. June birthed her. But, like, Nicole's psychotic. I mean, Serena's psychotic and thinks Nicole's her daughter. So she's trying to get her back.

And she's in Canada right now, and they just dropped a big fat bomb on her. And, again, so many unanswered questions. Damn. I know. I'm telling you. You've got to watch. Okay. It's so good. I came across like an old series from like 2018 that I'm like, how did I miss this?

Okay. Did you ever watch the show The Crossing? No. Here's the tag. Refugees from a war-torn country 180 years in the future start showing up in the present to seek asylum in an American town. The Crossing. Yeah, so it's Steve Zahn

and he's the cop in this small town and he gets called to this one beach. They're like, there's a body there. And he's like, no one ever goes to that beach. And they're like, well, there's a fucking body there. Go get it. So he goes and it's a little girl and the little girl's alive. She's alive. She's alive. We can help her. Whatever. And then all of a sudden he like

stands up, looks around and it's 50 people like washing up on shore. What is happening? And all these people from the future, how are you from the future? What are you talking about? What were you doing before this? And they were like, where were we running away? And they were like, where are you running away from? It's like, we were running from the war.

And they're like, there is no war. She's like, well, there will be. Kind of like Lost, I suppose. It was on ABC,

but like you can watch it on Prime. Okay. How did I miss this? Like, what was I doing in 2018 that was better than this show? Also, Steve Zahn. Sounds good.

Speaking of Prime, have you watched that new, I think it's a movie with Michael B. Jordan? No. I want to though. It looks so good. It's like an action thing. He's everything. Speaking of Steve Zahn, he is so good in Saving Silverman.

Do you remember that movie? Yeah. Oh my God. Steve Zahn, he is so good in Saving Silverman. Do you remember that movie? Yeah. Oh, my God. Steve Zahn and Jack Black are so fucking funny together in that movie. I know this is old, but whatever. They have a Neil Diamond tribute band in it, which is so funny. Oh, my God. Amanda Peet is great in that.

Jason Biggs is, well, he's playing the straight guy. So like whatever, but like that movie is so good. Blast the best. I need to go watch Saving Silverman again. I know.

It's been so long since I've seen it. Oh my God. It's so funny. Did you start Cruel Summer? No. What are you doing? It's the best thing that's come out in so long i know but brandy so here's my thought about that when you get good shit i go watch other stuff so i have something else to talk about because we just watch the same stuff then we're just talking

about the same thing over and over every week and then we can keep up with the show and we can talk about cruel summer okay i'll get on it i know it does look good i want to know if you think that what i i need to know what your thoughts are because okay so this whole thing is like this popular girl goes missing right yeah and she gets kidnapped or whatever and then basically she comes out and says they rescue her she's like the principal took her or something like the creepy principal and put her put her in his basement and basically she comes out it's like plug your ears if you don't want to hear this if you haven't started it basically she comes out and says while I was in captivity in the basement I saw whatever the heck the other girl's name is this other girl who was like super nerdy and then once the popular girl went missing took her boyfriend

got hot took her friends like took over her life. So basically she's like, she saw me and didn't tell anyone. Like she was going to let me like rot in this guy's basement because she took over my life. So you were like, oh shit, like she's the bad guy. But now like we're a few episodes in and like this girl is basically saying that that's not true. And that now her life's being ruined because this girl is falsely accusing her of seeing her when she didn't. And you're like, who the fuck is the bad guy here? Like, I kind of think it's Kate.

Kate's the popular girl that got kidnapped. I think she's a liar. Like, I kind of do. And, like, I know that's not what you're really supposed to think, I don't think. But that's what I think. And I think she's making this stuff up. And now this poor girl's life is ruined because all of America hates her for seeing the girl in the basement and not telling anyone. But then there's, like, there's, like, stuff going on where you're like, man, but, like, for seeing the girl in the basement not telling anyone but then there's like there's like stuff going on where you're like man but like did she see her

in the basement because you're starting to find out that she like frequented this guy's house and like you don't really know why and now all of a sudden kate's got her necklace and you're like whoa how'd she get that i don't know oh that's exciting i know i need answers yeah yeah you do you know what else is getting good i think there's only like two or three episodes out have you started mayor of easttown on hbo i haven't but it that does look good and kate winslet is you really like i know i keep saying you'll love it but like that one you really would love really um and like the episode one was great you know it's fine like they introduced everybody or whatever and just kind of like kind of like

start the story but now that we're getting into it a little more, it's getting really good. Still, I need answers. Like you don't know who the bad guy is here. Reminds me a little bit of True Detective. Like a little True Detective and a little bit The Outsider. But I think without the sci-fi aspect of The Outsider. Yeah. Another show that's back that I want to get back in on is City on a Hill.

That was the Kevin Bacon thing that like I loved. I never saw that. Yeah, they got a season two out and I want to get back in on is City on a Hill. That was the Kevin Bacon thing that like I loved. I never saw that. Yeah, they got a season two out and I need to get on that. But there's just not enough hours in the day. Okay. I know. Netflix is really coming out with a lot of movies. Yeah.

There's a movie on Netflix I want to watch, but I'm scared to watch it alone. It's called Things Heard and Seen. Yeah. With that girl with the really big eyes. And I love Amanda Seyfried. I'm obsessed with her. It's Amanda Seyfried and Natalia Dyer.

Is that how you say it? Natalie Dyer? Natalia Dyer? From Stranger Things and James Norton are in it. But I started watching the preview and I was like, ooh, this looks so good.

I'm so going to watch this. And then I get halfway through the preview and I'm like, oh, maybe I'm not because this looks absolutely terrifying. Yeah'm so going to watch this. And then I get halfway through the preview and I'm like, oh, maybe I'm not because this looks absolutely terrifying. Yeah. But it was a book. Did you read the book?

No. I ran into the same problem. I was going to watch it last night and I was like, this is too scary for me. I don't want to watch it for myself. It's too scary to watch at 10 o'clock at night when you're going to bed. Yeah.

But here's what I need. I need some YFTers to watch it this week for me and let me know, how scary is this is it gonna give me nightmares or like can i handle it yeah yeah yeah for sure oh i got a podcast suggestion if anyone's into cosmology or astrophysics or space stuff because i'm a fucking nerd joe rogan you can have your opinion about him or whatever you guys love him women hate him like what i get it. Can be controversial.

But he does have some good guests on. There's one episode with this guy named Brian Cox, who is a cosmologist and astrophysicist. It's just really, really fascinating and interesting. Like, learn about the stars and galaxies and planets and string theory and quarks and everything. You know, like, the stuff they talk about, you're just like, wow, you're so smart.

So if you like space and stuff, that's a good podcast to listen to. Brian Cox. Cool. Still doing Shadow and Bone Man. Dragon Bone Man. Oh, yeah. I like that show.

Still doing The Nevers. I like that show. Okay. I haven't started either one of those. My sister has a new song out. Which sister? Miley. It's actually not her song.

She's like featured on it with this guy who I really shouldn't know how to pronounce his name, but I don't. It's called Without You. And I guess like he put the song out already. And then they re-released it with her on it. Is it Kid Leroy? Yeah, is that how you say it? Leroy? I have no clue.

That's how I say it in my head. Yeah. The album art's like anime. So there I go Oh, can't make a wife out of a hoe Oh, I'll never find the words to say I'm sorry, but I'm scared to be alone You cut out a piece of me

And now I bleed internally. Left it without you, without you. And it hurts for me to think about what life could possibly be like without you, without you. Can't make a wife out of a hoe. It's a great lyric. It is a good lyric, but it's also not true. He's Australian. Uh-huh.

I'm getting the low down here on Spotify. Yeah. Says he was connected to Juice WRLD, and Juice WRLD mentored him and whatever i don't know sounds cool all right i just i love how this like this like emo emo is like having a comeback but like it's like emo reborn it's not the emo that i know from my college days and high school days it's like a it's like a reborn emo genre yeah i'm into it wait i saw the lumineers have a new track out this is called caves title track and i go run when the night i hear her every time she calls Did I hear something break?

Was that your heart or my heart? Like when we are changed Then the silence did follow I like that. Not my favorite limineers. I mean, not everything can be ho-hey, you know. I saw Gregory Allen Isaacoff has a new song out called Salt and Sea, and I do like Gregory Allen. Very well.

Like artist. Come on. You know, it's good. I'll let the darkness swallow me whole. I need to find you. I need you to know I'll be your friend in the daylight again

There we will be like an old enemy I'm pretty sure it's a re-release, but I do like GAI. It's very sad. I like to have my heart ripped out of its chest. Oh, cool. You know, that's how I do. Yeah. That's how I do. Oh, what do you think about blonde Billie Eilish and her Vogue spread?

So funny because I was just going to talk about this. Oh, you were. I was. I saw that she was getting some backlash for it and was like, what? Oh, what? Yeah, I don't know. I think she looks great. Me too.

I mean, I think it's super cool. I mean, I loved, you know, I loved her style before. I loved her like dark hair and her like her like emo vibe and like edgy vibe. I thought that was so super cool. And I don't know, just to show up to the Grammys in like baggy oversized clothes and basically to say like, fuck you, I'm going to do it. Like I'm going to be me and do what I want, even at like a big award show like this, like that just takes so much guts. And I think she's so cool for doing that, but that just takes so much guts and i think she's so cool for doing that but it also takes so much guts to like do such a strong departure and just come out with something totally

different knowing that people are going to be like whoa whoa whoa this is different than what you do you know like you it's so different and like possibly get backlash from it i think it's just also super like ballsy like i just think she's the coolest i know should we she's got a new song not called your power should we go out on that yeah it's real sad too but you know that's that's her vibe yeah what are you talking about that's and that's also kind of this podcast vibe not i mean not sad but you know like emo we yeah it's super. Like you come from the good wrecks and the sad bastard shit. Yeah. You know?
