Starting point is 00:01:30 yeah, I'm jet-lagged. Pretty pumped about the week-long fun that will be me waking up at 3.30 in the morning every single night. I got that going for me. Let's call the brand. Ding-dong-ding. Ding-dong-doong. Let's go brand. Ding, bong, ding. Ding, dong, doom.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Let's go brand. You were frozen. I know. You know, you take a week off and all of a sudden shit goes haywire. Well, that's funny because Olivia and I had no issues last week. Really? How was the Olivia Brandi episode? You know, to tell you the truth, I'm not sure because I don't listen back.
Starting point is 00:02:05 Yeah, of course. But we had a great time. But you should have seen me trying to figure out, number one, how to record ads alone. I had to like whip out GarageBand, had no clue what I was doing, couldn't figure out how to bounce the file out and get it to the people to edit like nightmare. Yeah. See, you know, you guys really guys really take me for granted. I really do. What did you guys talk about? I didn't listen to it. That's for the best, honestly.
Starting point is 00:02:34 We talked about how men are garbage. Classic. We did talk about some fave things, which was great. We did not get to talk Bachelorette because we hadn't seen the premiere yet. So didn't get to touch on that at all. Talked about Halloween because Oliviaivia's coming out to park city this weekend we spend every halloween together you know i don't know i hope the wife tears didn't fall asleep that's all i know all right well i hope they're back i hope we didn't lose too many audience members but uh
Starting point is 00:02:58 don't worry i mean i mean if they can survive the derrickace poop talks, then I think we're good. It's relatable. Everybody poops, you know? I'm just going to go on record as saying Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, least favorite thing. I'm sorry. They both. What do you mean? It's too much.
Starting point is 00:03:18 It's too much. Pump it. Pump it. I'm here for it. I'm not. I like it. Like the things that Megan Fox says, it makes no sense. Like what she's saying.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Like what? Like what? On their first Valentine's Day together, MGK made their relationship Instagram official with the caption, I wear your blood around my neck. Okay. Same day,
Starting point is 00:03:40 she shared a poem for him on Instagram, which ended by calling him Rehab Barbie. Don't even know what that means. It's fine. Here goes my heart, manifest outside of my body, draped in the towering silhouette of a most unusually handsome boy. silhouette of a most unusually handsome boy. Magical and haunted, kinetic and tortured, ethereal and dangerous, cosmic, lawless, eternal, creative genius. The journey will likely be perilous, but there is no destination without him. What the f- Wow.
Starting point is 00:04:27 What did you just say? Did you just pull up the Thothoris app on your phone and type in haunted and get a bunch of weird other words to use in your caption? I mean, maybe. They're not only soulmates, Brandi. She said that they are twin flames, which she described as where a soul has ascended into a high enough level that it can be split into two different bodies at the same time. So they're actually two halves of the same whole. No, you're not. You're not that. You're not that at all. And that's weird to say that out loud to people on a red carpet. I think it's kind of sweet.
Starting point is 00:05:09 It's kind of sweet. And it's also so crazy. That's okay. Hey, you smell like weed. I am weed. I actually think your sister like did a caption with like, I am weed as well, which I mean, it's funny, but you know. Speaking of said sister, she's downstairs in the basement. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:29 And she's just tried to FaceTime me three times. And I texted her and I said, I'm recording a podcast. And she said, it took eight texts to get this out. Oh my God, there is such a big spider in mom's room. It's like huge. Okay. such a big spider in mom's room it's like huge okay so every time you paused is that her sending a new text separate text oh my god which sister is this is this noah okay oh i love stoner sis i like noah so i can't you know cyrus miley on the other hand i could rip into but this is gonna be an interesting episode brandi because i am like kind of jet lagged, but not, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:08 I woke up at 3.30 in the morning. I feel like that's just my life for the next week of just me just waking up at 3.30 in the morning. Yeah. Well, did you sleep the whole way back on the plane? For everyone that's kind of confused what we're talking about, I was in South Africa for the past like 12 days. And so Cape Town to Dubai. So I tried like the second half of my flight to Dubai. I tried to sleep and then tried to sleep like the majority of my flight from Dubai to L.A.
Starting point is 00:06:33 And then like stop what would have been like around like 930, 10 a.m. L.A. time and like wake up and like go on with my life. You know, it's just hard to do. It's so hard. Also, the Dubai airport is a mall not an airport yeah it's just a mall that happens to have uh parking spaces for airplanes that's what it is was it nice as hell yeah it's great it's a fucking mall though dude gucci and prada and saint laurent and everything in between and i don't know if you're getting a good deal there or not you know i just don't know he throws're getting a good deal there or not. You know, I just don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:05 He throws like that too. I was bummed because we were there. We were in Dubai for like the first, on the first way out there. We had like eight, nine hours. And I was like, I want to go out into the city and like experience. But it was like in the middle of the night. So, you know, what are you going to go do? That's a bummer.
Starting point is 00:07:20 But anyways, I got a lot of favorite things. We can talk about Africa. Okay. I watched the first episode of Bachelorette. Did you watch that one? Yeah, I watched both. Okay. So you can tell me what happened in the second one.
Starting point is 00:07:31 And then I got a lot of favorite things because your boy was on an airplane for 30 hours, 60 hours combined. So I watched a lot of things. Well, should we start the show and get to it? Let's go. Bros and hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with... Well, Sam Brandy back and better than ever. Do you feel refreshed?
Starting point is 00:07:51 I do. Do you have a new lens on life? I do, I think. Oh, great. I will say that like South Africa is a very magical place. Very. But it's also like California. It is. i'm sorry it looks like california it feels like california it's got the same shit as california except for the animals cape town is san francisco basically only better yeah
Starting point is 00:08:20 really beautiful coastline and amazing restaurants and And we stayed in Camps Bay, which I feel like is their Malibu. Totally. Went down to the harbor, got amazing seafood, just like San Francisco. But I will say Table Mountain that goes up and looks over, you know, all of the Cape. Beautiful. Yeah, it's unreal. And then we went wine country which the california has that too even though their wine country is just more badass it's just like more like way more crazy mountains and stuff yeah all right quick psa for those of you out there who rent if you haven't heard of built you're about to thank me earning points on rent is now a reality when you pay your rent through built you don't even have to check with your landlord to start earning points that you can use towards flights, hotel stays,

But yeah, I feel refreshed, you know, I did get sick out there
Starting point is 00:11:26 and this is. What do you mean? We had one dead day where we could just like kind of do whatever we wanted. And of course it was like the one day that wasn't planned of like where to go eat and stuff. And so we all went down to a restaurant and I had some calamari and some oysters. And I think it was the calamari because I didn't love it. And then your boy just threw up for like 20 hours straight, which was great, dude. I look shredded, you know, but it was bad.
Starting point is 00:11:52 It was real bad, but we had a great time, you know, if you have an opportunity to go to South Africa, you absolutely should. And I will say this. I mean, like no one's paid me to say this. My brother does host
Starting point is 00:12:02 basically a travel company to go to South Africa. And he also does one for wine country, but he's got the place to fucking down pat. Like we had an absolutely amazing time there. Cape Town, Baller, went to Cape of Good Hope, which is the most Southwestern point of South Africa, where apparently, you know, the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean meets and it's just- What do you mean apparently? Well, because it's not the most southern point. It's the most southwestern point.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Right. So because I posted that and a lot of South Africans who follow me were like, uh, Bru, no, that's not, that's not the place. But it's beautiful there. And then we went and saw the penguins in Cape Town. We rented a yacht and we went out on the Cape and it was beautiful. And then we took the gondola up to Table Mountain and it was just breathtaking overlooking all the Cape. And then we traveled into wine country and we stayed in Franschhoek.
Starting point is 00:12:58 And we stayed actually at Richard Branson's place in wine country, which is just, there's a hotel. And then there is his personal residence called the Manor House. And we stayed there. That's cool. Oh my God. It was, it was just so good. And we ate so good and we drank so good and we hung out and it's just so much fun. And then we cruised up to a game reserve.
Starting point is 00:13:18 It was amazing. Saw basically everything. Saw elephants super up close. They call their happy hour sundowners, which I think I'm going to adopt that. I like sundowners much more. It's nice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:32 We'd go out in our bush drives and then, you know, someone would go down and we'd get out and our guide would make us some hot toddies or, you know, we'd have a beer, whatever.
Starting point is 00:13:41 And we were having a sundowner in this fucking amazing forest with all these giraffes everywhere. And oh, my God. And we saw rhinos and rhino babies and hippopotami. No. And impalas with amazing eyelashes. And at the end, oh, my God, Brandi, at the end.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Tell me. So the last day, we finally found the lions, okay? Oh, love that. At the end. Tell me. So the last day we finally found the lions. Okay. Oh, love that. Yeah. Didn't want to get too close. We found the big guy. His name was George, but you know, he was the king of the jungle and he had just eaten
Starting point is 00:14:14 a baby gazelle or something. Baby Impala. And so he was just kind of like strutting around. He wasn't like trying to be sneaky or whatever. And that was kind of as close as we got. We got kind of like, you know, maybe a hundred feet from we're like all right well we saw we saw the king that's pretty cool and then so later that day i wanted to go see drafts good drafts are my favorite south african animal we did this sundowner with the drafts around and i was
Starting point is 00:14:36 just like taking it all in like feeling their energy so hollywood but whatever it's true and then we're driving back so we we had two cars, right? We all decide to go to the bathroom. So my buddy Eddie jumps out and his wife, Alex, they go over to a bush and they start peeing. And all of a sudden someone yells out, everyone get back in the truck right now. There's the lion. And they're like, they're trying to scare us. We know where the lion is, way over there, like on the other side of the property. Like, no. They're like, get in the truck right now.
Starting point is 00:15:08 And finally, Eddie's like, I think that they're being serious. And Alex is like, just gotten her pants down. She's like, really? Do I stop? Can I start? And he's like, let's just go back. So like, they pull their pants up. The mama lion and the two cubs.
Starting point is 00:15:21 No. Went on a hunt and chased a wildebeest down a mountain. Wildebeest died. Valid broke his neck. Sorry. Jesus. And so they're out there, protect their food, just like our dogs do or whatnot. So they start chowing down.
Starting point is 00:15:39 So we pull up and we're just watching this like amazing experience and like this sad but beautiful and you know like circle of life thing you're just oh my god and the cats have all this blood in their faces it's like oh my god it's kind of dark out so my brother's like i gotta pee so he's like can i stand up and just pee off the side of the truck our guide's like yeah okay just don't get out of the truck obviously there's lions lions around. So he's like, yeah, sure. So he gets up and he unzips his pants. And all of a sudden our guide's like, hold on. Let me just check around real quick. So he gets his torch flashlight and he starts torching around.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I shit you not. The fucking king of the jungle, George, is five feet away from us bedded down. We didn't know he was right there. He was about to pee on George. And I'm sure George would have taken exception to that and probably just bit his penis off which would have been hilarious and also sad anyway the fact that his name is george is everything and now don't forget we had had sundowners with the draft so we were kind of fucking drunk we're just sitting there just watching this whole thing just being like jesus christ like red almost got his wiener chopped off and eddie eddie and alec tried to take a piss while they were getting their kill south africa is amazing
Starting point is 00:16:54 and i will say this my brother's company verse journeys does a really good job of like putting everything together making sure you stay at really safe places the The food is top notch. Anyways, I've been tagging them on Instagram. So if you have any desire to go to South Africa, he is a very good resource for you guys to go there and have an amazing time on a pretty good budget. Like Dean's Ex-Girlfriend. Yeah. Leslie was just using his company and they had an amazing time. So anyways, South Africa, so great. It really is. It's far, but it's worth it. It is far.
Starting point is 00:17:26 That's the thing, but it is a once in a lifetime thing. Like everyone, that should be a bucket list thing is going to Africa and you should do South Africa because it's the nicest, you know,
Starting point is 00:17:35 it's like that in Egypt and I gotta say, South Africa's nicer. Good times. Added by all. Love that for you. Yeah, it's great.
Starting point is 00:17:43 What should we do? Should we just do like a quick batch? I think so. I don't think there's like a ton to say, you know? So I only watched the first episode. I don't like the fact that I know who the next bachelor is right off the bat. I'm sorry. Just off his first night look, it looked like he went to Joseph A. Bank and he got a two for one special because there's a sale every day at Joseph A. Bank. And he's also wearing tennis shoes. I don't even know what the guy's name is, but I don't like it right off the bat. I think it's Clayton. Clayton.
Starting point is 00:18:08 The other thing is, I'm upset with production on how they handled this first night. Okay. Because if I was there, I would have suggested we do something different. Okay. Having Caitlin and Tayshia find the notes on how to be on The Bachelorette was the worst thing they could have done for the show. Great for the first episode, but that's not what we need. We don't need first episode drama. The first episode's like silly entrances. Someone gets drunk, jumps in a pool. That's what that is. But the fact that you had those two women go find that, then of course,
Starting point is 00:18:42 they have to be team bad bitch and go tell her because that would mess up. They didn't. They needed to have a guy find that like his roommate or something or like his enemy or something three episodes in and draw that out. Yeah. For TV sake. And Sarah's like, well, yeah, once the girls found out, what can they do? And I'm like, well, you just don't show the girls found that. Just let's just pretend it didn't happen. Don't forget, it's a TV show. It didn't have to go exactly the way that you actually went down. And I need that, well, you just don't show the girls found that. Just let's just pretend it didn't happen. Don't forget it's a TV show. It didn't have to go exactly the way that you actually went down. And I need that guy in there longer because so amazing. He had a whole fucking cheat sheet.
Starting point is 00:19:13 You know, here's what I would have wanted. I would have wanted the guys to find that and then go through the things that he was supposed to do. You know, you could do like flashbacks to him doing those things. Totally. They're going to pull this thing out to the end, if you're asking me. So that's my-
Starting point is 00:19:30 That's very true. You know, it's just like- I didn't even think about it like that. Yeah. Should you be a producer on this show, Wells? I think maybe you should be. Forget hosting. The host usually is an EP on the show.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Well, there you go. That's what we need. Episode one, I was bored as hell. One of the most boring season premieres I think ever. But when I watched episode two last night, I liked it a lot better. Okay, good. It gets better. And there are a couple of the guys that I really like.
Starting point is 00:19:58 What you're missing in episode two, like the big thing in episode two is, you know, this Joe guy that she like apparently like slid into his dms and he ghosted her and now he's on the show yeah this episode like they have a basketball date and he's a basketball player and so they're they're having like insane chemistry over this whole like love for basketball right the fact that michelle slid into the guy's dms means she's really into him already you you know, and he did ghost her. So for me, I think she's probably thinking like, oh, he's the one I couldn't get. Or right.
Starting point is 00:20:33 It's like that. You want what you can't have kind of thing. And it's to me, it's almost like the chase and like the game of like, oh, I didn't get this guy before, but now he's here and like I want him. You know what I mean? Yeah. And so the guys are obviously picking up on all this chemistry, which makes him a target. Like,
Starting point is 00:20:47 I feel like if I were Michelle, I would be more mad about the fact that he ghosted me. And now he's on my television show than she is. Yeah. Yeah. You didn't like me until I was the bachelorette. So exactly. And no one's addressing that.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Yeah. Like you're just cloud chasing. So cool. Yeah. So that's the only thing like he's really likable he's cute they're cute together i get they have chemistry like they share the love of basketball i think that's awesome i just can't get past the fact that he ghosted her like if it were me i would be like you fucking ignored me and blew me off and now you want to be on my show like
Starting point is 00:21:18 no yeah so she goes on a one-on-one with jamie and i thought it was an interesting pick for a first one-on-one because like he didn't leave any impression on me night one but whatever and they have this like pretty sweet one-on-one like it goes great and then then after this group date where all the guys target Joe Jamie all of a sudden decides that he wants to go in on Michelle and and and like bring up something like a friend of mine saw you in a bar and said that you were on a date with a light-skinned baller and I need you to explain that, is basically what he said in so many words. And it just came out of left field for her.
Starting point is 00:21:54 He kind of blamed it on the other guys, even though none of the other guys had any issues with that. He was like, oh yeah, all the guys in the house are talking about the Joe thing and are just super sketched or whatever. But really, it's just him that's upset. And then so, of course, she's upset about it. She's like almost in tears over it and goes and like tells the group, well, I heard you guys are all talking about this and that and this and like and has to address it.
Starting point is 00:22:16 And all the guys are so confused. They're like, what? Yeah. And and then, of course, they're like, OK, well, who here said something? And Jamie does not speak up. He just sits there. Like doesn't say a word, which I think is fucking crazy. Oh, it's a bitch? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Ah. And it's crazy because he just seemed so sweet on the one-on-one. And then after all that, I was like, you're kind of a dick. So that was the other big thing with episode two. I'm going to stick with it, obviously. I think it'll get better. It better. It sucks because I do like joe but
Starting point is 00:22:45 because he ghosted her i just kind of feel like he's one of those guys that like hypnotizes you a little bit with his like charm and whatever and like i don't know i'm just i'm not quite sure about him is anyone really hot to you not really like they're all kind of average to me i do think brandon's really cute but i think he might be short she's tall like they're good looking dudes but nobody's like really blowing it out of the water for me, you know? And I really don't think Clayton's very cute, but he's a football player. So I guess that's all that matters to the people. Dude, ABC loves a football player.
Starting point is 00:23:15 They love a football player. God damn, dude. In other Bachelor news, how about Blake Moynes and Katie Thurston breaking up? You know, what's funny is I saw her, I think it's, was it last, I guess two weekends ago in San Diego. She was there with like the whole crew for like set at this festival we played. Yeah. And she was there and he wasn't her man. And I was, and I was like, that right there tells me that they're not together.
Starting point is 00:23:43 I would say like record time for a bachelorette to break up with the dude, I feel like. I feel like we all saw it coming though. Did we? Yeah. The way that her season ended, I was like, there's no way this is lasting. Why? Because of how it ended with Greg? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Like obviously Greg was her first choice. And then when he left, she had to pick option B. Like, I don't know. I just never really thought that was all it was cracked up to be. Yeah. Too bad. It's too bad like they didn't figure that out sooner because they could have come to fucking paradise, you know?
Starting point is 00:24:11 Come on, babe. For sure. Honestly, though, if Blake goes on one more season of anything, I think he'll get slaughtered. Yeah. It's time for him to walk away. I think so. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:20 That's enough Bachelor stuff, I guess. I think so. You got some faith things, bro. Bro, have you started season three of You? I haven't. I mean, so what happens now? Is Penn Badgley and that chick, did they just murder together now?
Starting point is 00:24:34 Is that what happens? Yes, basically. They're married and they have a baby, right? But like it kind of opens up season three, it kind of opens up with like him feeling trapped like i don't think he wants to be married to her yeah but he's terrified of her because she's a bigger psychopath than he is wow i'm only like four episodes in but and i was skeptical of it being good i was like how many times can we relive the same story but it's pretty good all right so
Starting point is 00:25:00 they're just murdering away it's nice you know a couple needs to have a hobby that they can do together which is beautiful it's true so if it's killinging away. It's nice, you know. A couple needs to have a hobby that they can do together, which is beautiful. It's true. So if killing people is your thing, then at least you got that. Yeah, exactly. It's healthy for your relationship. I watched a movie that I really liked on the airplane called The Dry, starring Eric Bana. Have you heard of that?
Starting point is 00:25:22 Oh, I've seen the preview for it. Was it good? Phenomenal. I mean, I love Eric Bana. Have you heard of that? Oh, I've seen the preview for it. Was it good? Phenomenal. And I mean, I love Eric Bana. Same, same. So this takes place in Australia, which I think is where he's from. Here's the tag. Aaron Falk returns to his drought stricken hometown to attend a tragic funeral.
Starting point is 00:25:39 But his return opens a decade old wound. The unsolved death of a teenage girl, the dry. So Eric Bana is, effectively, he's like an Australian FBI agent. And he comes back to this town where his best friend had just killed his wife, daughter, and himself. And he comes back for the funeral. The best friend's parents are like, we don't think he did this. It doesn't make any sense. You're the FBI agent. The local police have closed the case, but can you look into it? So he starts looking into it all. And there also is an old childhood case that he was involved with. One of his friends drowned. And so like that's kind of
Starting point is 00:26:20 tied to it. And it's like him trying to figure out like what happened and did his friend really do it? And like the towns against him because he's like kind of represents like big city kind of politics. And also the backlash of like him being involved in this drowning, you know, 25 years ago. But so good. Good twist at the end. Really good acting. The Dry. Check it out. good yeah have you seen dune d-u-n-e dune like the new one with timothy chalamet and zendaya and aquaman aquaman yeah
Starting point is 00:26:56 stacked cast yeah is it good have you seen it so i watched the first like 20 minutes because noah was watching it so i like snuck down and like i walked in like maybe five minutes after it started um definitely a movie that you need to pay attention to which is why i did not watch it then because i was so tired i couldn't but i'm absolutely downloading it for my flight this weekend it looks really really really good it's like it's not about space and aliens but. Yeah, so it's a famous book that... Did you read the book? No, but I'm very familiar with what it is. And it takes place 20,000 years into the future.
Starting point is 00:27:33 It's 10,000 years past the second age. And basically what happens in the book is that humans create artificial intelligence and robots. And the robots revolt and basically try to kill off all the humans. And so then there becomes, yeah, there becomes like this big backlash against anything mechanical. And so it becomes almost like a religion to like not believe in any computers or robots. And it's been a movie before, and I guess the kind of the original one's kind of boring, I guess. And so, but original one's kind of boring, I guess. And so, but a lot of people are saying this is great. So we'll see how it goes.
Starting point is 00:28:08 I mean, it looks great. So I definitely got to watch that one. I think I touched on this last week with Olivia, but I know you're not the biggest fan of Big Sky, but season two just premiered. Yeah. And it's really good. Like I, they brought in a couple of new people and i i
Starting point is 00:28:26 just love it i don't know no no judgment here i like the show i think i just had too much on my plate kind of on the same vein of big sky have you watched any of labrea no what's that so that's the one where like the labrea tar pit opens up and a bunch of people fall into like this other like worlds where oh that sounds cool yeah same thing it's like on network television it's just like big sky where it's a little hokey because they can't get away with a lot of stuff that you can't on streaming or on cable i really like that oh okay yeah like they kind of fall into basically an alternate universe so they're in la but it's like during prehistoric times and they're trying to figure out like how to get back and the family falls through and like the dad and the son don't fall through.
Starting point is 00:29:10 But the dad used to be a pilot for the Navy, but he's gone crazy because he started having all these visions and stuff. But he can like actually see what's happening down there because he was a pilot that like flew over like one of these rips in the space time continuum before and yada, yada, yada, crazy, crazy, crazy. Anyways, La Brea, not bad. All right. And then the other thing that I just started, it's been out for a minute, but it's on The CW. Remember that show In the Dark about the blind girl who gets wrapped up into the drug cartel?
Starting point is 00:29:37 Yes. Did you ever watch that? No. Oh, come on. Season three just came on Netflix, finally, because the season three aired forever on the CW. But still so good. Love it so much.
Starting point is 00:29:48 When you first are watching that show, you're like, all right, this is about a blind girl with a golden retriever and like a service animal thing. It's like but then like it real quick turns into like truck cartel, people dying, people getting murdered, like left and right. And it's just it's just such a crazy juxtaposition of a show like so many different things. Plus, my friend Casey's in it. So I'm a fan. All right. And it's just, it's just such a crazy juxtaposition of a show, like so many different things. Plus my friend Casey's in it. So I'm a fan. All right, cool. Season two of love on the spectrum is out and it's such a beautiful show.
Starting point is 00:30:13 If you haven't seen season one of love on the spectrum, like just do yourself a favor and just like dive into that one. And it's just like so heartwarming and well done. Have you seen any of it? I haven't. It's so good. Is it on Netflix? Yeah. So good it i haven't it's so good is it on netflix yeah so good i haven't seen it yet hated uh least favorite most recent circle didn't like it oh really didn't like it wasn't i wasn't here for it i haven't liked the last two if i'm being honest
Starting point is 00:30:37 and then i watched another movie on the plane that i really liked but it took until the end to like really love it because I didn't see where the twist was coming from. So did you ever watch Ex Machina? Loved. Okay. So this is very similar to Ex Machina. Here's the tag. 2038, George Almore is working on a true human equivalent AI. His latest prototype is almost ready. This sensitive phase is also the riskiest, especially as he has a goal that must be hidden at all costs. Archive. So here's the premise.
Starting point is 00:31:21 This guy is building a robot, okay? Building like a hot chick robot kind of like ex machina in this future if you die you can download your persona into a computer program and people can talk to you from the grave effectively which is kind of cool but it kind of like starts like fade out after years. So he had like this woman that he was like in love with that passed away tragically. And so he's got her kind of like uploaded and he's trying to like steal that source code her from beyond to put into this AI.
Starting point is 00:31:57 But obviously it's like patented, you know, intellectual property. He's not supposed to be doing that, but it's a lot like Ex Machina in terms of like, he's like making this like kind of like hot robot. His motivations are a little bit different than that movie and the twist. Ooh, so good. Didn't see it coming. Can't believe I didn't because I'm better than that, but archive, not terrible. All right, go check it out. Where do you watch it? See, it's on Prime. Oh, okay. And then I had another one.
Starting point is 00:32:26 I watched a movie called Infinite with Mark Wahlberg. Oh. Premise-wise, very cool. Really? Execution, terrible. Yikes. It's Mark Wahlberg. Here's the tag.
Starting point is 00:32:40 A man discovers that his hallucinations are actually visions from past lives. So you know how they say the Buddha is constantly being reincarnated A man discovers that his hallucinations are actually visions from past lives. So you know how they say, like, the Buddha is constantly being reincarnated, and they'll, like, go find, like, the Buddha will die, and then they'll go find a kid, and they'll be like, of these trinkets in front of you, which one is yours from your past life? And the kid will be like, this symbol is from when I was in the Ming Dynasty. And you're like, oh, my God, reincarnation's real. It's kind of like, they kind of do that.
Starting point is 00:33:06 But these people who are being reincarnated are kind of like superheroes a little bit. They're badass fighters. They remember everything from all their past lives. So if like they were a samurai in a past life, they still remember how to like samurai fight and all that kind of stuff. Anyway, so there's like one really bad guy.
Starting point is 00:33:22 And then Mark Wahlberg is like the good guy. And so your classic, you know, good versus evil. It's just that Mark Wahlberg isn't a superhero. He's just for whatever reason, he's just not. And it just doesn't work. But I will say it's a fun watch. There you go. Okay. You really did watch a lot. You know, I was on the plane for 60 hours. And if I'm being honest, I watched like all the Matrix. So that's a bunch of stuff that's not new. And then I watched Interstellar, which is so good. It's such a perfect movie.
Starting point is 00:33:58 I know. But also, watching it again, I'm a little bit annoyed with Jessica Zane's character. She's always constantly whining about her dad leaving. You left me. Motherfucker's trying to save the world, all right? Trying to save the existence of humanity, all right? Let's pump the brakes a little bit. Stop being so selfish, Jessica Chastain, okay?
Starting point is 00:34:18 You got like 10 good years with him. All right, now we're trying to save the world, okay? Let's relax. But the movie's great. So good. His relationship with the robot is so good. Mm-hmm. Much better than that of his relationship with Anne Hathaway.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So much better than his relationship with Anne Hathaway. I'm like, I need less Anne Hathaway. Also, Matt Damon out of nowhere in that movie. You're just like, Matt Damon's in this fucker? What? You know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Oh, and Eric from that 70s show. Topher Grace out of nowhere. Third act all of a sudden is like Jessica Chastain's lover, I guess. We're not really sure. Anyways, that's such a good one. It's so good. You'll be proud. I finally started Succession.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Obviously, no need to talk about it because I'm so late on it. But here's just a couple things i'm gonna say okay you said that it was possibly better than game of thrones okay nowhere near that good but i i get it like it's it's fine it's it's a good show like we can't ever compare it to game of thrones ever because it's just like in a completely different realm of television okay hold on have you finished a season yet no No, I'm only on episode six. Their season finales, no fucking way.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Whereas Game of Thrones finales, especially the finale, it left us wanting. Yeah. It's apples and oranges, but I'm just saying like, I love that show and we're so excited to start.
Starting point is 00:35:39 We were gonna start it last night, but we were like, we're too jet lagged to try this right now. Yeah. But yeah, hurry up so you can get on a season three with us. I'll my best yeah all right you got any musics i don't know we're at that time of year you know yeah i got something that i just absolutely loved my old radio station lightning 100 did a video of this guy singing in studio and i was like this is a
Starting point is 00:36:01 great song and then like on tiktok i saw it and i was like this is a great song. And then like on TikTok, I saw it and I was like, this is a great song. This is a guy named Steven Wilson Jr. and the song's called To Be Young 1994. And it's just so good. I must admit, I felt the flame. Kurt Cobain, a Fender Mustang. MTV brought me up. This is your brain on drugs
Starting point is 00:36:26 I won't forget that first girlfriend That got me into boys demand I grew up a lot that year My sweatshirt said no fear My life was a stereo And it was everything First one in line For the last dance with Mary Jane
Starting point is 00:36:51 Hiding in my headphones Laying on the bedroom floor 1994 Pretty good, right? Yeah, that's pretty good. I like that a lot. Yeah. Pretty good.
Starting point is 00:37:16 I mean, you got to have grown up in the early 90s to appreciate that one. Sure. Yeah. Did you see Jack White put out a new song? Yeah. So this is this Taking Me Back single. Yeah. Did you see Jack White put out a new song? Yeah. So this is this Taking Me Back single. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Rock and roll is coming back. Yeah. You know, when I was doing radio, we were all thinking that another Nirvana was coming. It didn't happen. It's gotta happen soon. You know? Mm-hmm. You're taking me back. You're taking me back.
Starting point is 00:37:49 I've been to love, but not for long. I'm alone, but not for long Yeah, sounds like Jack White. I love him so much. Yeah, he's the man. Are you Team Jack White or Team Black Keys? Oh, Jack White, hands down. Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:24 So, this is a song called Apple TV Remote. What? I found this on TikTok, and I liked it. This guy's name is, or the band's name is Petey, or the guy's name is Petey. Preface this. This is called Apple TV Remote, and the song's kind of about, like, when you break up with somebody, you're deleting everything of their existence in your life, right? You know, like you block them on social media,
Starting point is 00:38:49 you know, you block them on your phone or whatnot. And then like weird shit happens where like you just can't escape them when you turn on your Apple TV and it starts doing like mosaic of all your pictures. And you're like, fuck! Got it. And so I think that's kind of where he's going with this, which I thought was kind of an interesting, you know, lens into a song. Never do this again Yeah, I can't see my fingertips Guess I didn't eat dinner
Starting point is 00:39:27 Rockin' at the mouth, lookin' like a real winner Woo-hoo! At the warehouse party At the warehouse party Same damn warehouse party Two and standing right in front of me Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!
