Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Spit gate, wedding crashers and whores, oh my!

Episode Date: September 7, 2022

The band’s back together, and boy are they better than ever! Starting off with the hottest news around town: Spit Gate. Did Harry spit? Are he and Olivia broken up? Your entertainment reporters break it all down. Plus, since it was the hottest event of the year and maybe their lives, your hosts dish even more dirt on the wedding. Spoiler alert: our Brand-eye was not one of the lucky attendees who got some double d’ing. They also talk Bachelor, and have lots of opinions despite being uninterested at this point. They then have bones to pick with the world, specifically: streaming platforms, people who fly in the middle seat, and hotel doors. Brandi is driving a Tesla temporarily and hates it (hard life) and Wells would like us all to focus a bit more on global warming because he got heat stroke golfing.

All right. Back and better than ever. My voice is going to be a little rough around the edges because it's early this morning. And I took two melatonin last night, which means your boy's groggy. But it also means your boy got some good sleep. Sarah and I got a new bed and it's really helping out the old lumbar support. I know this is coming out Wednesday, so maybe through the 24-hour news cycle, this might no longer be a thing, but Harry Styles, you Randy Minks spitting on Chris Pine, allegedly. I've seen the video, slow-mo'd down. I don't even know if he spit on him or not, but you know what? It's more

fun to think that he did, because then all of a sudden, Chris Pine's in the middle of this whole thing. We thought it was just Olivia Wilde and Florence pew, pew, pew, and Shia LaBeouf. So is Harry Styles and Olivia Wilde no longer together? Because Harry Styles is like, this is not great for my brand anymore. Why is Chris Pine in the middle of it? Is Chris Pine now dating Olivia Wilde, and that's why Harry spit on him? Or did none of this happen at all, and this is the dumbest thing in the world, and we have a problem as Americansicans because we want drama every day i think it's probably the latter but um i like

to think that it's not let's call brand i see what she thinks got a feeling she has not even heard this because brand i doesn't pay attention to anything that's happening in social media or in the world uh bing bong boom. Hi. What's up? I feel like I haven't talked to you in so long. I know. Did you miss me? A little bit.

I'm sorry. What you been up to? Just some stuff. I don't know what that means. A lot of stuff. It's a loaded question. You know what I did do recently though is listen to last week's episode. Oh, you did?

Yeah. Dang it. I was hoping you wouldn't because I had a whole plan about how I was going to start inserting things. Yes, I know. Dang it. Yes, I know. My plan has been foiled. So now I have to start listening to our podcast. Not ideal. That's right. I figured out a way to make you listen to the show. I was just talking with the YFTers before I called you about the, about Spitgate and wondering if you even knew what we're talking about. Yes. Harry Styles. Yes. How do you feel about spit gate? I live under a small

rock, but you know, like it's a, it's a, it's a small enough rock that a little light lets gets let in every now and then. And I kind of know what's going on. Yeah. You're in the mines of Kazadum and, uh, they have the light that comes in that they use the reflectors to grow the bushes. We'll talk about Lord of the Rings later. Okay. Yeah. So do you have a thought, a theory on the spit gate? Here's what I know. Tell us what you know.

I know that it's Olivia Wilde, Chris Pine, and Harry Styles sitting together. Yes. Chris is in the middle. Yes. But aren't Harry and Olivia dating? I wouldn't look like it anymore. Do they break up i think that's what that means huh okay because i like i was reading so i get all my information

through twitter because i'm old yeah and like an old republican yes only not the last part but i was reading through just everyone's take on it and i don't know i know everyone's like oh he's joking it's a joke but the thing is it, it's not that Chris and Olivia are dating. So why would he spit on Chris? I don't know. Maybe they are dating. I mean, if they are, get it, girl. I've always had a crush on Chris Pine.

Yeah. If I was a PR agent for Chris Pine, my Captain Kirk, let's stay away from her right now. I know. Because she's on the decline. Maybe he was trying to spit on her and it didn't reach that's not a good look for harry if he spits on a woman no i don't know i don't think he spit on anybody here's what i know happened olivia wilde has kind of been using this whole like feminist platform which has been great but then shyla boof released this video that kind of showed that she didn't really care about

that she just wanted to make a movie and make a bunch of money which is what men have been doing for a long time but it kind of exposed Olivia Wilde a little bit and then what I think happened is that I think Harry Styles as well as PR people probably been like this isn't a great look anymore uh let's separate and he was like but I've been using her to become a movie star. And they were like, have you seen your acting? It's terrible. And he's like, yeah, you're right. Maybe I should go back to singing.

So then he's like, I'm going to break up with you. And then they all had to go to this stupid freaking Venice Film Festival. And it's so awkward because Flo probably hates Olivia Wilde right now. And then Harry Styles is probably like, well, I can't date her anymore because this is bad for my brand. What is his accent? I don't know.

This is what I think Harry Styles sounds like in my brain. I don't think. That sounded like an Australian outback. His next role, he's going to be Australian. Anyways, it's just fun because as Americans, we need this. For some reason, we feel the need to dissect every stupid thing in the world.

Yes, we do. Which is why we all watch The Bachelor. I know. And you know what? The Bachelor needs to take some cues from Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles because I'm not sure if I'm digging on what they're throwing out at me right now. Same-sies. What if the issue is? These leads are the issue.

That's a big issue, are the leads. I just don't think either one of them were really lead material. We can get into this after we start the show, but I've said all season I do love Rachel, and I was actually even starting to like her more and more until this week. I'm a little confused. Got it. But let's get into it because it's,

you might not have a lot to say, but I feel like I'd kind of do. Okay. About this week, but yeah. Okay. Let's start the show. Okay. Let's start the show. All right. Zemir, you. Sarah did such a good job last week. Yeah. Well, she's starting the show. She's a pro. I know. And she she unlike you listens to the show so she knows favorite part of your wedding obvi was when she did the call out to yft and her vows i know yeah did she did she do a ding ding is that what she did she she said something about something being her favorite thing and then she said ding ding and no one got it but me because no one listens to our podcast. Well, I got it. That's good. Jesse Tyler Ferguson definitely got it.

You know, he's a big fan. We all know that. Huge fan. Tony Award winner. I remember one. All right, do you want to start or do you want me to? I can start. Go for it.

Bros and hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with... Well, Zane Brandy back and better than ever. We've really just been on quite the adventure. Dude. For the past few weeks. I really have, you know, I got married. Do you want to do, do you want to do bachelor first? Do you want to talk about the wedding first?

Let's talk about your wedding first. And like, obviously you did a whole episode about it last week. So we don't need to like go crazy. But I was having FOMO that I didn't get to talk about it with you guys. I know, I know. I thought about that and I was like, maybe it would be fun to have a third party's like perception of it but i knew that we were gonna have so much to talk about that like i didn't want to have to edit a two-hour episode fair this is what we kept saying after the wedding when we were on like

our little mini moon is that uh we wish we were invited to our wedding because it looked like everyone was having such a good time whereas we were having to our wedding because it looked like everyone was having such a good time whereas we were having to take fucking a million gd pictures i know that's the hardest part about a wedding right is feeling like you can't really enjoy it i feel like everybody kind of feels that way but um i mean hands down the most fun I've seen people have at any wedding ever. I mean, usually there's at least a handful of people that are like, oh, weddings. Oh, can we leave yet? Like, you know, and I mean, that was not the vibe.

People were partying. It was litty kitty. Yeah. But here's what you did right. OK. These are the two big things that I when I go to weddings and they do it wrong. It's just like ruins the whole thing. Number one, you provided transportation for everybody so they can drink and not feel like

they had to drive and whatever. And they could all get to where they needed to go. Big, big thing. And then number two also plays into open bar all fucking night with hard liquor. Yeah. You need that at a wedding. I know. You need it. like it was perfect i had three old

fashions at the ceremony at the reception feeling great then went to the after party had another drink was feeling great and then once everyone started there was a point at the after party where everyone started to act very strange yeah and i like, it's time for me to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I did dip early. Everyone turned into a zombie at some point. I was concerned for a few people. Yeah. I was.

Everyone had fun. Oh, yeah. Everybody had fun. And like you guys said, everybody got along so great. For everyone being kind of from different pockets of you guys's lives like everyone it met everyone meshed really well um and that probably just like speaks to how great everybody in your guys's lives are that everyone just gets along like all great people and it was a blast i wish i had more money that we so we could just keep on we could do it every year or something like that but seriously now i want to go to someone else's wedding no one

else's wedding is going to be that great i have a feeling i've been telling everybody like it's hands down the nicest best wedding i'll ever go to oh thank you i really i really think that first of all i don't go to a lot of weddings because they're not really my thing but yeah i think it'll probably be the best one i ever go to we'll see what kb comes out with now i feel like she got to go to your wedding and took took a lot of notes and We'll see what she cranks out. Well, she was like, after going to this wedding, I think we're just going to elope because I'm not sure we can top it. And I'm like, she's like, this seems expensive. And I was like, I think I was sitting next to you.

And I was like, you got more money than all of us, KB. What are you talking about? I don't think she'll back down from the challenge of trying to top your wedding. The only problem is that Jason is very fiscally responsible. He's like, his finance is like his thing. So it's going to, he's going to lose his mind. Yeah, but he also can't say no to her, so whatever she wants, she's going to get. He's just along for the ride, let's be fair.

Yeah, absolutely. Did you get any double D? I did not. Was there any opportunities? Everyone was paired up. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you had fun. I did.

It was a blast. The food was so up. Yeah. Well, I'm glad you had fun. I did. It was a blast. The food was so good. Yeah. Oh, my God. Whatever kale salad was passed around, I'm pretty sure I had like five helpings of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The miso cod or the miso bass, whatever it was. I think it was sea bass.

Sea bass, yeah. It was bomb. And I was trying to replicate the nobu miso cod. Yeah. That was my note to them. They did a pretty good job. They did. They killed it. The band was good. That was my note to them. They did a pretty good job. They did. They killed it.

The band was good? The band was great. Yeah. People also went wine tasting before the wedding. That's why a lot of people showed up on one. Litty. Yeah. It was the perfect formula for everyone to have a great time.

I'm glad. You guys should be proud. Now look, I wear a wedding ring. It's so weird. Who are you? It's so weird. That's so weird. But I did buy a rubber one you did i did i do like this one better than the rubber one but i went and played it is very pretty i went and played golf though and it gave me like a blister so i'm gonna try the rubber

one just make sure it doesn't do that we're married now so it's pretty cool so now like we don't have sex anymore and um we watch lot of HGTV, I think. Yeah, yeah. Maybe like start with like scheduled sex instead of just like cutting it out completely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then maybe like do we get like a motor home? Yes. Yeah, we get a motor home soon.

Sprinter van is kind of the new motor home. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's cool. Yeah. Maybe a timeshare or something. Definitely. Gotta get a timeshare. Yes. Definitely. Got to get a timeshare. Yes.

I'm excited to be married. Takes a lot of pressure off you, you know? I bet. Yeah. Because you're just like, but now people are going to start pressuring you to have kids though. Yeah, I know. I think people are going to be cool about it with us because Sarah's working so much

right now that it's like, let's not stop that boulder right now that it's like let's not stop that boulder right now because it's got a lot of momentum. It's too bad that I can't have the kid, you know, because I'm not doing a whole lot. I'd be much better. Yeah, I got two shows. They've already been filmed, so I got nothing going on for a while here.

That's insane. Oh, last thing, and then we can really be done with the wedding talk. Both of your sweet parents came up to me individually. And they were just so nice. They were like, I know we haven't met, but we've just heard so much about you. And I've just been asking everybody, like, where's Brandy? Where's Brandy?

So I can come say hi. And they were both so nice. And they were just like, thank you so much for doing the podcast with Wells. Like, he loves it so much and i'm just so proud of what you guys have done and i was like ah like that is the cutest thing that your parents are so invested in this podcast yeah they don't listen that's okay because neither do i no no yeah they'll be like so how do we listen and i'm like so there's an you don't yeah you don't don't do it but you so there's an app. You don't. I was like, yeah, don't do it. But you know,

there's an app on your phone that says podcast and they're like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's in there. Yes,

it's in there. But it's also like anywhere else you want to find it, but it's in where, so you listen to podcasts where it says podcasts on your phone and they're like,

oh, and then what do I do? Then you type in your favorite thing in the search bar and then you subscribe and then you listen every week. That's way too much work

for a parent. It's like 17 steps. Yeah, no way. Can't do it. No way. Well, that's good. But they were so sweet. I'm glad.

Yeah. Yeah. I do feel like on Saturday though at the actual like wedding and even the reception, I felt like I didn't notice people with their phones out very much and I liked that a lot. Like I feel like everyone did a pretty good job of just out very much and I liked that a lot like I feel like yeah everyone did a pretty good job of just like enjoying it and being in the moment like yeah people took some photos and content but but for the most part I really didn't see phones out a whole lot and I loved that yeah I think we scare people because the first night we were like let's

refrain from social media or whatnot got it there was There was a helicopter. I know. Thank God that helicopter wasn't around during the ceremony. That would have been terrible. I mean, I would have shot it down with a bazooka. I would have been so fucking pissed off. Also, like, there's a part of me that's like, wow, that's cool that, like, people care that much, that they got a helicopter to take pictures of our thing. Financially irresponsible.

Because it's got to be like five grand to like rent a helicopter and like fly it around for an hour and take pictures, you know? Can't believe it. And then there was a bogey in the bushes. I know. You know, like one of my buddies

from like Mississippi, from like school. So I don't know what to say. I don't know how to say this to you, but there's a guy in a tuxedo with a big old lens that's like hiding in the bushes. He's like, I didn't know if I should pose to you, but there's a guy in a tuxedo with a big old lens that's hiding in the bushes. He's like, I didn't know if I should pose or if I should go knock him out. And I was like, I wish you would have gone and knocked him out.

That would have been great. That would have been really good. A great story. I know. But yeah, he snuck in like a little spider monkey. Like a little ninja. Well, I'm glad you had fun. I had a blast.

And yeah, let's do it again sometime. Yeah. I mean, I'm not getting married, but but you know we could just start crashing weddings i know let's do that we should just do that kb and jason need to get married because i need to go to another i mean i want to go be litty kitty in the city you know yeah yeah hopefully they do that next year i hope so that'd be a good one all right quick psa for those of you out there who rent.

All right. Let's talk about The Bachelor. I don't know if we're going to spend a whole lot of time on it. First of all, this is the part of the season that I never care about because it gets serious and it's no longer fun or funny. And it's just like, whatever. Get engaged or don't. I don't really care.

But we feel bad for Gabby, though, right? I don't why a few reasons okay and here's the thing i get it the editing of the show is edited to where everything looks a certain way and there's for sure things i don't see and there's of course like it's hard to watch a show and be like well this this is i think this and this and this because there's so much i don't know and i'll that's a preface right I'll give that as a preface like by all means there might be stuff going on that I don't see that would change my opinion but from what I saw on the show she seems like a classic like self-sabotager yeah and I think people that um kind of have that like I'm impossible to love mentality um do that self-sabotaging more than somebody that doesn't have that like going on i don't know because to me it just seems like she's had a lot of good things going

she's the reason they're all ending right it's like first of all like the guy with the long hair what's his name i have no idea so first one she broke up with it's like they were sitting on the beach and he's like yeah i'm i don't know it's not that i'm i don't want to get married like i'm not that i'm not there to be that serious she sends him home okay whatever don't care about you um didn't really see like that much of a connection with them anyway but jason the real quiet guy he wasn't saying anything wrong and like i get it this show pressures you to be engaged and as the bachelorette maybe you feel like a failure if you don't get engaged i I don't know. But for me, I would rather leave not engaged with a great person that I have built a great connection with that might actually have longevity in the future

than like just break up with them because they won't propose and ruin it, which is exactly what I thought she did. The hard part about all of it is like, I really felt like she had such a great connection with Eric and their overnight was so great. And then she goes out, oh, Johnny. Then she goes with Johnny or whatever. And he's like, well, I'm not getting engaged. And she breaks up with him and she's so sad. And then Jason tells her like, I don't want to get engaged.

And then she's so, she's like, nobody loves me. Okay, yeah, Eric does. Eric's obsessed with you. Yeah. And to the point where he said, it felt like you were cheating on him because you wanted to go have overnights with other people don't say nobody loves you because you have a guy that's like

worships the ground you walk on that's obsessed with you that does love you so don't say that that's like that's annoying to me all she could see was well these guys don't want to get engaged yeah but they both are saying that they really like you a lot and could see themselves falling in love with you and you have a great connection like I don't know like if it was really one of those two that you were that in love with

like i don't think that's something you just throw away because you're not getting a ring out of it that's my take i'm very very seldomly critical of production on this show but i am annoyed about the jason thing because i imagine that production had an inkling that jason wasn't ready to be married like that was probably a storyline that he was like guys i don't know if i'm ready to do this like this is this is happening too fast or whatever um and they should have caught wind of that before we got to this point and they should have given him an opportunity to bounce out early so she could have kept someone in there if nothing else not to fuck up her chances with Eric because then it's the whole

like pilot Pete thing where you're the only one left so you feel kind of like a reject and not like I'm chosen you like I have to choose you because there's no one left and that so I didn't like that because then it's like a default win and though I feel like when you watch it when he has to watch it back he's gonna going to be like, wait a second. Totally. And so that's my only complaint is that if you knew he was going to be not ready to do it, which is something that like, let's be fair, the show and the leads want, they want to get engaged at the end of this thing. They knew that he wasn't going to be able to do it. We should have figured out a way to cut him early and kept someone else in there.

So there at least was two at the end. Yeah. I guess for me, it's like, I think Jason really liked her a lot and genuinely has a great connection with her and feels like love for her and thinks like in the real world, like if he has the chance to continue to date her, like something could come of it. I don't know if he would have wanted to leave because it's like, just because I'm not ready to get engaged to somebody, I have to break up with them. Yeah.

Like it's just kind of terrible. I don't know. That's my take on that. And then when it comes to Rachel, what are your thoughts? Okay, well, here's the big like plot twist on Rachel. Yeah. I'm like completely shocked

that Zach is leaving saying like, she's, you know, behind closed doors, like she's turned into a different person and she's not genuine and all of a sudden, like stuff like holy shit that's like quite the plot twist yeah i honestly don't know what happens here but this whole like jesse coming out in a set that's not quite put together so just take a minute take a breath talk to your shrink think about it and we'll be back next week and we'll release all the information. Wait, what? What the fuck is happening?

So what I think is happening is that I think that she was going to pick Zach, and then Zach pulls her and is like, dude, you are different behind closed doors than you are in front of the cameras, and I feel weird. And she was like, you can't do this to me because I was just about to pick you. I can't pick the other guy because I was going to pick you. I don't want that guy. I want you. I don't know. And so because I was going to pick you. I don't want that guy. I want you.

I don't know. And so they were like, okay, got to split them up. And then we got to figure out something later because this whole thing could fucking explode before we have enough episodes to send to ABC. That's a hot take. What do you think is going to happen? Well, I don't know because I really thought Zach was the low man on the totem pole this week. I thought she literally said, I love you to Tino, which I don't get that. I don't get why she likes Tino so much, but literally said, I love you to Tino.

Tells Avon she is falling in love with him or something, but doesn't say anything to Zach. And I don't know. To me, like her relationship with Zach was the weakest. So, but I don't know. But I'm just so confused because like I would have, I don't think I would have thought that about Rachel. And I guess I'm just disappointed. How the turntables have turned because she's doing exactly what Clayton did. You know?

Clayton told a bunch of people he loved them. Was in love with them. Yeah. You know? Yeah. So I don't know. We'll see. Rachel's not getting a very great editor right now see i was kind of thinking that zach is maybe getting set up to be

the bachelor well i think it was supposed to be nate it might come from paradise if i'm being 100 honest i could see that i could see it coming from paradise i definitely like wouldn't be bad like if zach is right because like listen i'm not stupid like there is a world where zach's a piece of shit and just saying this about rachel because he feels like his relationship is the weakest and so he's trying to like save himself turn the tables i don't know if that's true or not that could be true or he could be right and rachel could be not genuine and she could have been a different person on overnights i don't know but if he's being truthful and she was have been a different person on overnights. I don't know. But if he's being truthful and she was that way and he is going to come out of this like blindsided and heartbroken, I could see how they could turn that to work for him by making

him the bachelor because like he does seem so sweet and so genuine. He's so handsome. Like he does have his shit together. Yeah, but he's boring. He's a little boring, but like everybody's boring. I mean like that one day where they're at the bar and she was like, do does have his shit together. Yeah, but he's boring. He's a little boring. But like everybody's boring. I mean like that one day where they're at the bar and she was like, do you have a high-pitched voice? I was like, Jesus Christ. Oh, yeah, that was bad.

If I was double dating with you guys, I'd be like, we got to get the fuck out of here. This is the lamest conversation ever. There have been some boring bachelors. That's true. So Jason's much more boring because he's so quiet. Yeah. And I've always said it's not about the lead. It's about the girls that you bring.

So anyway, I think it's so dumb that they're having two weeks of a finale. One last thing. I feel like the recruiting for people to come on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette is getting worse. It is getting worse. i don't know who's writing these and maybe if like david spade was doing it it would be like oh yeah that's kind of funny but like jesse is such a sweet nice guy he's not like a waka waka guy and so i don't know if it's if it's just coming across as like damn i was fucked's fucked up. There was one where it was like, you know he's never gonna break up

with that other woman, so why don't you just apply to be on The Bachelor? Subcontext there is, the married man you're currently fucking is probably never gonna leave his wife and his kids for your hoe ass, so you should probably go on The Bachelor. What?

You're not wrong. It's pretty terrible. Wait, do we want people who are trying to break up marriages on the show? Jesus Christ. Okay. You got some fave things, bro. Oh, man. Bro.

Yeah. House of the Dragon. Oh, you're into it. Oh god i love it it's it's almost like game of thrones is back i know i think it's kind of trash you do kinda i love it maybe i just need some game of thrones back in my life so bad that i'm only seeing the good in it but i love the girl that plays Rhaenyra. I love her character. I like her too. I think she's fantastic. I'm very invested in her already. I feel like with any new show, and this is a new show, like yes, it's a prequel to Game of Thrones, but it is in itself a whole new show. And I do feel like it takes them a few episodes,

if not an entire first season to kind of like get it together and get it going. So I'm just holding out hope that it's going to get better as it goes and that they'll continue it because I do love it a lot. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's got some legs. In Game of Thrones fashion, only they can make the marrying of a 16 yearyear-old to a 45-year-old seems so much better than the marrying of a 9-year-old to a 45-year-old. Because you're watching and it's like, this is fucked up. He's going to marry his daughter's best friend? What the fuck? Oh, shit.

That girl's fucking eight years old. Okay, yeah, let's marry the best friend. Yes, she's still 16 and it's still fucked up, but that's much better. Totally. It's so crazy. It is, but was it like that back then? I don't know.

This is a different world. It's on a different planet. I don't know, but I do love it. But, I mean, there are some scenes I just can't watch. Dude, the crabs eating people's faces off and stuff. I do like there's a lot more dragon play this year. A lot more dragon play. Yeah.

And I do love the villain of Rhaenyra's brother. Yeah. Kind of want him, well, he was in The Queen. He played Prince Philip, I think. Ah. I kind of want him to take over. You do? Kinda. He do? Kinda.

He's more badass. It's either going to be the little girl, because right now the king's going to die, right? Got to die. For sure. He seems weak. He seems like he doesn't give a shit. He seems kind of like can't make a lot of decisions.

The uncle steals an egg, wants to marry the whore. If you haven't seen the show, you must be like, what the fuck are they talking about? Wants to marry the whore. If you haven't seen the show, you must be like, what the fuck are they talking about? What's the Mary the whore? Also, you gotta put spoiler alert somewhere back five minutes prior to this.

We're gonna get, we're gonna get dragged. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true. The daughter comes in on her dragon and like saves the day. So it's like,

all right, so these are the two alphas. Let's go ahead and just kill the king right now and the baby heir because we need to. Well, the baby doesn't die because isn't he, isn't Aragorn, however you say his name, Targaryen? Is he the Mad King?

He might. Or is he the Mad King's dad? I think maybe the Mad King's dad. Yeah. Yeah. I do recall his name from Game of Thrones. So I know he doesn't die because I know he's in the lineage of the Targaryens and all the history you hear about in Game of Thrones. But did you watch Sunday night's episode?

Yeah. The newest one. So our, you know, the uncle, the villain or whatever, the brother, he's like, he is badass. He like comes in clutch there at the end of that last episode. I'm with you. It's good. I'm excited to watch it. Like I'm like, oh, let's put it on. But it's just not game of thrones well no yet but maybe it will

be you know maybe it will be in the same vein of fantasy the new lord of the rings i think is fire what do you i haven't seen it yet okay and uh i saw you tweet a lot elon musk about it yeah yeah i need you to tell me what's going on there well Well, so it's on Prime, right? Okay. Elon Musk said Tolkien must be like turning over in his grave. Because it's bad? I think that's what he's implying, that like what they're doing is they're bastardizing some Tolkien, which they kind of are. It's loosely based on another book that Tolkien wrote, which is kind of like the world building that he made to like explain what happened in The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, this book called The Samarillion or something like that. Amazon doesn't have the rights to like a lot of these characters and names and storylines and stuff. So they've been like very, very loose on what's happening. I see. A lot of Lord of the

Rings Tolkien purists are like, this is not exactly correct from the books and everything. You know, who the fuck cares? It's kind of cool. You know, you get to see Galadriel back in the day and you get to see Elrond back in the day and, you know, we're getting more kind of interesting stuff. So anyways, Elon Musk tweeted out that Tolkien must be turning over in his grave. And I tweeted back, is this about Tolkien or is this about maybe possibly somebody else? Because Elon Musk has a feud with Jeff Bezos. They don't like each other. And so I think he's just talking shit because it's on prime.

Right. That makes sense. He's obviously smart enough to know that everyone's going to assume that's what he's saying. And maybe it's a joke. For someone who like loves Lord of the Rings books and stuff, I think this is fun to watch. It's interesting. It gets you back into Middle Earth and you get to learn more about the elves which is something you kind of don't really get to in the Lord of the Rings trilogy I think it's great two thumbs up I'll have to check it out but if you're not a Lord of the Rings person you might

not like it but I loved Lord of the Rings oh okay then yeah you're gonna like it yeah it's really cool I did see some tweet where someone was like, man, you don't realize how fucked up Game of Thrones is until you watch Lord of the Rings. Game of Thrones is like, I'm going to fuck your eight-year-old daughter

and you're like, yeah, okay. And Lord of the Rings is like, I'm going to go over to my friend's house and sing him a song about potatoes. Anyways, yeah. Lord of the Rings, the rings of power on prime i i dig your boy digs okay cool cool yeah have you seen welcome to rexum no because i watched the preview because ryan reynolds and it looks like a real life ted lasso and And I didn't like Ted Lasso. Yeah. I mean, it is very much like that, but it's real life.

It's on FX, but you can also watch it on Hulu. Here's the tag. A docuseries chronicling the purchase and stewardship of Wrexham AFC, one of professional football's oldest clubs, by two Hollywood actors, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Obviously, Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Obviously Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds. And then Rob is the guy from Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Rob like slides into Ryan's DMs or like vice versa.

And they basically have like an internet friendship. They don't meet until like halfway through like the second episode. Oh, wow. Yeah. Hey, I want to buy this team. It's the oldest stadium in the world and the third oldest football club in the world. And they are terrible.

And so like the way that soccer or football in England works is it's a pyramid. So at the top, you have the Premier League and it's like the best, the best. And then below that, you have the Champions League. And then below that, you have the Premier League, and it's like the best, the best. And then below that, you have the Champions League. And then below that, you have like whatever it's called. And below that, you have like whatever it's called. And if you're in the top four, I believe, of your league, you get to go up one. You get to ascend. And if you're in the bottom four at the end of the season, you get relegated down. Well, this team has been relegated down to like, not even like AAA ball.

They're like in like soft pitch men's league at the Y. They're so low, okay? Like they're not on TV anymore. Like people aren't really going to the games as much. And so it's all about them seeing if they can just like get them up one level and then like one level. I only seen

the first two episodes but so good and you also get to see what those two guys are like in real life and ryan reynolds is ryan reynolds always actually and love him so much it's so good okay big fan of that so check it out this is kind of like old news. I think I watched this weeks ago, but I haven't talked to you. Yeah. Did you watch Uncharted on Netflix? What was that about? It's a little bit Outer Banks-y, but it's a movie and it's Mark Wahlberg is in it. And it's like they're trying to find the treasure, the shipwrecked treasure or whatever.

Oh, yeah. I watched this on a plane. So did I. A while ago. And I think I even talked about it. Yeah. Remember when I was like, you know, all of these treasure hunting things and they'll go into some like corridor and they'll be like old gears that like are able to like

lift the door. And I was like, there's no way that these gears would work after 100 years. No, zero chance. Not realistic at all. Yeah. But Uncharted is fun. But cute. But cute.

Like if you're a fan of Outer Banks, it's a cute watch. Yeah. Street smart Nathan Drake is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor Sully Sullivan to recover a fortune amassed by Ferdinand Magellan and lost 500 years ago by House of Moncada. Uncharted. It's cute. It was in theaters.

Now I think it's on Netflix. Got it. Mark Wahlberg. Does he age? I get up at 3.30 in the morning. It's cute. It was in theaters. Now I think it's on Netflix. Got it. Mark Wahlberg. Does he age? I get up at 3.30 in the morning. I work out. And I had a protein shake. And it's like, dude, when do you sleep?

Yeah. Have you seen The Patient? Yes, the first episode. Or first two episodes, maybe. Whoa. Yeah. Whoa. This is on Hulu as well.

Hulu's kind of cracking out some shit. They're, yeah, they as well who's kind of cracking out some shit there yeah they're killing it they are cracking out hulu hulu hulu hulu can we please make it possible to download shit onto the ipad for the flights please oh good request well i work for hulu now so i'm gonna put that in to somebody or at least they follow me on twitter they're the only platform you can't do that on yeah yeah it's very annoying's very annoying. I know. So if you haven't seen The Patient, it's Steve Carell not being funny at all. Nope. Domino Gleason, who he was in Harry Potter. He was also in Ex Machina. He was in Frank, which I really liked that movie. And he plays a serial killer in this here's the tag a psychotherapist who recently lost his wife finds himself held prisoner by a serial killer with an unusual request to curb his

homicidal urges the patient this serial killer starts visiting steve carell and you know in his normal office and they do a bunch of sessions. And it's like not really working for the serial killer. He's like really not able to open up. And then one day Steve Carell wakes up in a basement chained to the wall. And the guy's like, we're going to do this in the basement. It's fucking creepy as shit. Yeah, it is.

Really good though. Really good premise. I love Steve Carell in this role. Yeah. He's a very good actor. Yeah. This guy's good at being kind of creepy. You know?

Yeah. I'm into it. Me too. It's something I'm very excited about. I just have a real quick bone to pick with like all streamers. Okay. Hey, all streamers. Can we stop making it so hard for me to exit out of you? You press like exit, exit, exit.

And then I'm like, do you want to exit? If you want to exit, go to settings. Are you sure you want to go? Trying to leave a streamer is like trying to leave a casino. There are no, there are no like available exits anywhere. It's confusing. They don't want you to leave for obvious reasons. But listen, sometimes I got gotta jump from netflix to

hulu to hbo to direct tv can i just fucking leave dear lord do you know i'm talking about i do i do i know that's good um i have a bone to pick okay hey people that fly in the middle seat yeah i hate to be blunt but you're either too cheap to pay for your seat ahead of time or you waited too long to check in on southwest and you're in the c group yeah and neither one of those things are my problem so when my best friend kirsten who travels with me everywhere and i sit on an aisle and a window seat in a row. Yeah. And we talk over you who sit in the middle seat. And you ask, oh, do you guys, I can scoot over if you guys want to sit together. No, we do not. No, I do not want to sit in the middle seat.

I did not pay extra to get to board early or slash. I did not set an alarm on my phone to check in at exactly 24 hours before this flight so that you could sit by the aisle or the window and I had to sit in the middle seat. I'm going to talk over you because that's my bestie. And we paid good money to sit in these seats. And you fucked up by having to sit in the middle. So no, don't ask me if we'd like to sit together. The answer is always going to be no.

Hard no. Hard no. I mean, you guys could have both been aisles next to one another. Sometimes we do that. Yeah. Sometimes we do that. I'm with you on that. I do feel pretty strongly that if you are the middle seat,

if you're cast the middle, you get both the armrests. Absolutely. I always give up the armrest. Yeah. Just because I show my friend a funny TikTok video, don't ask me if we want to sit together. The answer is no. No.

No. Hard pass, lady. Yeah. I got a bone to pick. Okay. Hey hey hotel doors can we not be so fucking heavy all the time why do you have to be 700 pounds and then also have the mechanical arm that tries to shut the door why can't it just be an easy opening door you got to sit there like a schmuck holding it open for like the guy that's bringing in the room service or you're trying to bring in your bags. You're like holding with your one foot. You're like motherfucking door 700 pounds

What was happening? And then the bell guys they've always got like this little mechanism that they put in the door to keep it open Why can't we have that? You know, it should be like on the key or something Yeah, I know you want to probably keep people safe, but there doesn't need to be a bank vault door. Mm-hmm. Anyways. I have something else to say.

Okay. Did you know that California passed a law? It's not going to go into effect for like 10 years or something where they're basically not allowing the sale of gasoline vehicles anymore. By like 2034 or something like that. Something like that. Yeah, exactly. You won't be able to go buy a car unless it's hybrid or electric, I'm guessing. Yeah.

All right. Well, I sold my Jeep on Instagram, by the way. Great place to sell a car. Really? Sold my Jeep, ordered a new Jeep. Of course, it's going to take four to six months to get here, which is fine. So in the interim, I am driving my sister's Tesla. Hate it, first of all. Hate it. A lot of things I hate about it, but it's really not as cheap as they like you to think to drive a Tesla.

I don't have a charger at home because it seemed silly to pay $1,200 to install the charger when I'm only going to drive the car for a few months. Fair. So I've been using these Tesla superchargers at Target. Yeah. And it's like 24 bucks to charge the car completely. Well, that is cheaper than the $100 that I put into my car, but... Yes, but your car's huge. This is a tiny car. So a gasoline car the same size as this one probably wouldn't be that make maybe 40 bucks to fill up. I get like maybe 350 miles at best on one charge and the Tesla. So it's really about the same as like, you know, same mileage you'd get on one tank of gas.

And it's really not that much less. All that to say, I just don't know. Maybe by 2034, I hope to God that electric cars have come further. But as of right now, it's not that much cheaper to drive an electric car, y'all. Yeah. Well, I did see something that was pretty funny.

It was in California. You know, they've made this rule. And listen, we should start getting away from fossil fuels and start figuring out how to use electricity. But then it was also,

but don't charge your car during the middle of the day when we're at peak hours because the grid can't handle it. And it's like, well, make up your mind, I guess. Do you want me to get an electric car or not? You may think that global warming isn't real and maybe it's not, but let me tell you something. It's a fucking 111 degrees here in Los Angeles right now. It is so hot. I went and played golf the other day. I got heat stroke. This is not a joke. I got heat stroke.

I woke up the next day, couldn't see very well. Oh, God. I was like, it was really, really scary. I couldn't drink enough water. It is so freaking hot. We got fires going on everywhere around here. Yep. I don't know.

Let's figure out something. Let's cool this bitch down. All right? Agree. Even if it's not real real let's figure out a way to make it cooler i agree too hot way too hot i'm over summer right now i'm over oh i'm i've been over it you know i don't love summer anyway you know once kind of i think once june ends i'm done with summer same it's weird because i think summer like starts in june but like i'm

you know because summer really starts for me it's like starts in may i But like I'm done. It does. You know? Because summer really starts. For me, it's like starts in May. I need two months of summer. And then I want to get back. Give me some fall. You know? Yeah. Yeah. You should really move to Montana.

I feel like that's kind of the vibe there. No. Because I, the reason why I moved to Los Angeles other than like for my beautiful wife and like my career is because fall, winter, spring in Los Angeles is just tits. It's the bee's knees. Yeah. It's the summer where you're like, Jesus Christ, it's hot. Unless you live in Malibu or in Santa Monica where it's like coastal fog coming in being nice.

So. Yeah. I know I'm complaining about living in the nicest place in the world. But I just need it to be not so hot right now because my ball sweat is too much. That is TMI. Yeah. Well. Yeah.

All right. Anything else? I think that's all I got. You got some musics? I do love that new Nicki Minaj song. It's called Super Freaky Girl. You got to play just the chorus of it. The lyrics are insane.

I can lick it. I can ride it while you slip it and slide it. One thing about me, I'm the baddest alive. The lyrics are insane. I can lick it. I can ride it while you slip it and slide it. It's too good. sound stupid i just laugh when they try a thong bikini up my ass i think i'll go for a dive it's too good she's good just when you think nikki is done she comes with the fire yeah speaking of people named nikki nikki champagne it's got a new champagne got a new track that i was like wait what honestly like i i just i i don't know how she continues to get more and more sad yeah yeah yeah she does but this one featuring is it is it ben gibbard from uh from death cab it sure is so yeah your sister noah cyrus who nicknamed herself nikki champagne i think on the first

This is Every Beginning Ends. all that long ago darling you'd go a whole weekend not leave our room you have to wake up every morning and choose to love someone that's true someone who just got married it's true. But I'm finding... Someone who just got married, it's true. You gotta wake up every morning and choose to love them.

Because love's hard. You gotta work on it. Young Nikki did a, I think it was Rolling Stone interview. And said in her interview that I introduced her to Death Cab. Aw. Back in the day it's probably lightning 100 but uh you know it's fine i don't think she listened to that okay i think she was too young for like actual radio really i think so i got i don't think noah was really much of a radio

gal by the time she got her driver's license it was all about like streaming not to burst your bubble but you know i mean i'm, I'm going to stick with it. What you got? That was mine. My pick was your sister. That's all you got? That's really all I got. I was looking to see if we had some fuck you very muches.

And F you, Wells, for dropping tea that people hooked up at your wedding. So you need to drop the tea if Brandi was one of them. I wish. She was not, I don't think. I was not. Yeah. All right.

Technically you can because Matt James did. That's true. So that's the only way I would do it. I know. But I do love Nate. If you want to leave us

And we're rooming together, but I'm not sure if we're going to be on the same team. So there might be a lot of like Ben versus Wells content or there might be a lot of like Kumbaya, Ben and Wells are going to do this thing together. So we'll see.
