Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Suzanne I’m not an idiot

Episode Date: January 24, 2024

Ohh…at Disney World!!! This episode is live from Orlando where Wells, Brandi, and Sarah catch up on the past week and talk about some of the best television of all time. Brandi was expecting an enga...ging golf recap, but Wells did not want to talk about it because he performed badly. So badly, in fact, that he sat in the corner by himself with a drink and contemplated his future as an athlete. But now things are better, as he sits in a hotel with his wife, even though she slept on the pull-out couch. Brandi was at Sundance and just can’t seem to get away from the snow, and Wells shares his bone to pick with baggage claim. Sarah has been watching Lost and Grey’s Anatomy, which lead the trio to talk about McDreamy and the 80s. Speaking of decades, can you believe 2015 was almost 15 years ago?

No. Oh, it's from Book of Mormon. Oh. Which is one of my favorite. Ding, ding. I don't have a bell with me. Thank you. You've got one. Got it. That's one of my favorite of all time musicals i've never seen it how have you never seen book of mormon i don't know
Starting point is 00:01:51 and you know what's funny about that is that i make fun of the mormon so much but i love book of mormon okay i am so groggy right now i have to be honest with you i'm pretty wiped as well okay it's not this is going for the yft years out there this I have to be honest with you. I'm pretty wiped as well. Okay. It's not good news. For the YFTers out there, this is going to be a short show. Oh, boy. I can never go with that. I mean, I'm just so sorry. One, I don't have a lot.
Starting point is 00:02:15 I want to manage expectations for everybody. I just woke up from a nap. Oh. I don't have a lot of stuff. I want to keep the YFTers Expectations low That's good Which I think is good because let's be honest I mean I think they have low expectations for us anyways
Starting point is 00:02:33 I hope so But This one's going to be Exceptionally Short and bad because Yeah I just haven't done anything that requires me telling stories.
Starting point is 00:02:49 What about your golf game? I expected a lengthy recap from the golf game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No? Good call on that. I thought maybe we wouldn't talk about it. Why? You love to talk about golf.
Starting point is 00:03:04 I didn't play very well, Brandy. Oh, there it is. I played so bad. Oh, no. The picture is like, I thought you did great. Just judging on the pictures, your form looked nice. Yeah, no, I know. The outfits were on point.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I mean. Thank you. Oh, my God. You should have seen the outfit I had today. Was it everything? It was everything. It was all black. I looked like,
Starting point is 00:03:29 I looked like a knight in shining armor. I looked like, what is that like really sharp rock that they make? They make knives. I looked like an obsidian god. Oh, wow. And God damn it,
Starting point is 00:03:43 did I not play like one, Brandy? I played with Ben yesterday, and I played really bad, and then so good. I went double, double. Okay. Double, double, double, double. I made four doubles in a row. Wow. Sounds great.
Starting point is 00:03:59 And then I went birdie, birdie, bogey, birdie. Are those good or bad? Those are good. Oh, good, good. And then I ended up playing great after that. I played pretty good after that. And then I played with Ben today. And I have never played this bad of golf.
Starting point is 00:04:17 I don't know ever, actually. And it was windy and maybe I was tired. And just maybe I just, my heart wasn't in it. I'm not really sure. Did you drink a lot? No, it wasn't even like a hangover thing. It was really cold. It was like 37 degrees to start with.
Starting point is 00:04:32 And your boy's not a cold weather boy, you know? I'm not a snowman. I know you're not. I'm a warm weather man. You are. And I played really badly. And then after the round, I was beating Ben and Robbie and a lot of people, actually. And then after the round today, I was one of the worst golfers in the tournament.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Damn. And that's something that I have to live with. We're not all perfect. But afterwards, I had to go sit in the corner by myself for a little bit. And no one talked to me. And I had to drink a drink and really come to terms with who I was as a man and do I really want to do this anymore? Oh yeah, I've not been there.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Yeah. And I don't know. Sports don't really humble you like that, you know? Yeah. It really humbled me. So here I am, you know, bearing all. This is me, naked and afraid. Great show. I got that, literally. I'm alone. You're not. Sarah's there.
Starting point is 00:05:31 She is. She's right next to me, actually. Definitely not alone. Welcome into the show, Sarah Hyland. He's insane. I'm alone. Nope. You have no idea the facial expressions that I have been making for the past, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:05:47 say five minutes that you guys have been talking. I could only imagine. It started off in Book of Mormon. My face was for probably two to three minutes straight because I could not believe that he was referencing a musical. Big moment for you guys. It was really big. A high.
Starting point is 00:06:06 A high for me. Yeah. I've trained you well. I was going to say, look at that influence, you know? Yep. Very excited about that.
Starting point is 00:06:14 And then, all of the golf talk when he was like, double, double, double. And you're like, that's great. That's awesome. It's not.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Oh, those are all bad. That's very bad. Double is bad. And I was- No, this ain't in and out, sister. That's awesome. It's not. Oh, those are all bad. That's very bad. Double is bad. And I was- No, this ain't in and out, sister. Silently laughing my panties off. A double, double, double. Graded in and out.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Terrible in golf. Not great on the course. Got it. Noted. So I have been making all the expressions that Wells has been very, very good to ignore because I got a big face and a big mouth and big eyes. And God bless you for being able to ignore that. My goodness.
Starting point is 00:06:51 He is killing me. So I got drunk afterwards, as one does, because that's what you do to cope with- Pain. Yeah. Yeah. Also to celebrate, though. You know, what a-
Starting point is 00:07:04 True. What a concept. I know. It's a golf course people course people drink so anyways we got back here and i was like daddy needs a nap oh so i took a nap she fell asleep too i did i was waiting to hear people in here's the thing we are at the wave hotel in orlando oh in lake nona okay we have one of those rooms that has like a normal room Here's the thing. We are at the Wave Hotel in Orlando. Oh. In Lake Nona. Okay. We have one of those rooms that has like a normal room and like a bedroom and then like a living room, you know? Yeah, like a suite, I would call that. That's a suite.
Starting point is 00:07:33 I think so. It's pretty sweet. Ding, ding. Pretty sweet. I think it's a suite. And then I went to take a nap and then I woke up and I was like, oh, I guess Sarah like went down to meet like Ben and Jess and my brother and his wife. No, no. My wife was on brother and his wife. No, no.
Starting point is 00:07:46 My wife was on the pullout couch. Oh, no. In the other room. Asleep. So not only was it terrible that I played badly and that I had to put myself in timeout and that I wanted to end it all. And I don't know if I ever want to come back and do this. Then I walk outside and go, oh, I haven't seen my wife in six days. And she decides to sleep on a pullout couch whilst I'm sleeping, not seven paces away. Not seven paces. I to the pull-out couch because i was trying to be quiet
Starting point is 00:08:25 and i was watching stuff on my ipad and on my phone waiting to hear back from people if they were going to go to the bar downstairs to get anything to eat because i am starving and i fell asleep because no one got back to me yeah wow wow so anyways it's been a time yeah i really hope disney world turns this trip around for you guys it always does i was thinking that i'm here because i have things to talk about okay love that i'm glad let's start the show you know let's start the show okay let sarah do the things she wants to talk about and then i go downstairs to the bar and get more wine and fries.

Starting point is 00:12:16 You like the obsidian whatever I said. Uh-huh. Obsidian. I was the one that whispered obsidian to you. She did. I was like, what is that thing? And then she said it.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Tiny black rock. Fucking tiny black rock. Oh my God. What are you up to? What are you doing? Chilling. I was in Sundance this weekend. I just got back late, late, late last night.
Starting point is 00:12:40 And I came home and I'm still snowed in. It's a miracle I made it up the driveway with my luggage. So I'm chilling. I slept till 1130. Haven't done that in a long time. So that tells you how tired I am. God, what does that feel like? It was nice actually. Usually sleeping in depresses me. I always feel like such a piece of shit when I wake up that late, but I was like, you know what? I deserve this. You do. Yeah. You do. So it was nice.
Starting point is 00:13:05 I like that you went to Utah. Utah. Utah. Yes. And then you decided to go home to the snow. I know. I know. It was warmer in Park City than it is here. That's wild. Isn't that insane?
Starting point is 00:13:22 This time of year. Did you see any movies that you need to report back about? I did not get to. And I'm bummed I couldn't stay an extra day because such a small world. My friend Megan Park, she used to be in my band
Starting point is 00:13:37 13, 14 years ago. And she's an actress, but she's also started directing. Sarah, you might know Megan. I feel like I know that name. I feel like I've known her in the past. Like back in the day, like when we were all on Disney Channel, she was on Secret Life of the American Teenager. I do know Megan. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And that's exactly who I was thinking of. She directed a movie probably a couple years ago, The Fallout. Did you watch that on HBO? Yeah. Yeah, so she directed that.
Starting point is 00:14:05 I think that was her first big directional debut. I had no idea that she was directing that. That's amazing. Isn't that cool? So she had a movie. I know. She had a movie premiere today at Sundance, and I wish I could have gone.
Starting point is 00:14:17 It's called My Old Ass, and Maisie Stella's in it, and I think Maddie Ziegler. Oh, yeah. Maddie was there. And I saw Aubrey Plaza was there with them. So I don't know if she's in the movie or producing it or what. But it seems like Megan had a super successful day today, which was cool. I wish I could have seen her movie.
Starting point is 00:14:35 But I will be the first one in line to watch it when it releases. What is the movie called? My Old Ass. I like it already. That's what my Wife Calls Me. It's a beautiful story about Sarah and Wells and what Sarah calls her husband. It is a good title.
Starting point is 00:14:56 But what I did see that was cool that I thought you would probably appreciate, do you like the Black Keys? Yes. I thought so. Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney. Yeah. I saw that in your story. You did. Okay. Yeah. So they played like a full band show that I had to miss because I was DJing at the same time. But what was cool is then they went
Starting point is 00:15:16 next door to the cabin, which is where I normally play. And they did a vinyl DJ set after their show. And it was such a fucking vibe. They were just up there chilling, smoking a ton of weed and had like a group of like 70s vibe chicks just dancing their hearts out on stage behind them. And we were just chilling and grooving. And I was like contact high from all the weed. And it was just such a cool experience. And honestly, there weren't a ton of people there because i guess it wasn't advertised i guess it was just like a they wanted to hop over
Starting point is 00:15:48 and dj a vinyl set and not tell anyone so it was like this intimate thing very cool i feel like you would have loved it how were their transitions terrible yeah okay because i actually kind of loved i was like they don't give a fuck yeah i was watching your story and i was like oh that is dan and our back oh that is patrick carney and then I was watching your story and I was like, oh, that is Dan Auerbach. Oh, that is Patrick Carney. And then they went between a song and I was like, that's a terrible transition. And they did that all night.
Starting point is 00:16:13 It wasn't just those couple transitions. That was it. That's not even DJing. They were just playing music and then being like, all right, pause, start. Yeah, but it was such a vibe though. It was like only the Black Keys can stand up here and do this. Yeah. And it's cool as fuck.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Well, that's awesome. And now you're back. Back. And it's still snowing. Snowing. My driveway's still a sheet of ice. I just don't know if it's ever going to melt, but here I am. Is your four-wheeler working yet?
Starting point is 00:16:43 So, it's not. But there was like a 10-hour gap on... Is your four-wheeler working yet? So, it's not. But there was like a 10-hour gap on Wednesday last week where we had a little sun. And the temps rose above 10 degrees. So, I got in my Jeep, drove on the ice to my friend Gabby's house. It's like a solid 15 minutes when the roads aren't icy, you know? Got her side-by-side out of her garage and drove it back. Wow. So I have a side-by-side to get around.
Starting point is 00:17:12 What's a side-by-side? Like a UTV. What's a UTV? It's like a work vehicle. It sounds like a bad television station for conservatives. UTV is universal television. It's also an off-road vehicle.
Starting point is 00:17:30 But more so like the ones that are meant for like, have like the little bed in the back, like utility vehicle. Got it, got it, got it. So yeah, I do have wheels. And my Jeep's doing okay on the main roads, just not my driveway. Alright. Woof is right.
Starting point is 00:17:46 I was like, why did I come back here? I could have just hopped over to LA. What was I thinking? I don't know. You could have come down to Orlando and- Could have. You could have. I'm going to tell you.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Come to what Disney World? Yeah, come to- Oh, what Disney World? Are you saying what Disney World? Yes, I am. The Orlando airport might be my least favorite airport in this country. Give me a ding on that. Ding a ding-a-ling.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Don't disagree with that at all. Like, is it ever not a complete shit show? Yes, you're correct. It's horrible. So she flew in, what? Yesterday. Last night? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:21 We go and pick her up. She lands at 4.55. Okay. So we get there at 5 o'clock. I walk in there and my brother's like circling around. We wait for bags to come for over an hour. Damn. At which point I go up to like the, because we also didn't like know what carousel.
Starting point is 00:18:40 They said 24, but we were like. There were like six flights on the board for the same carousel. I hate that. So finally, after like 45 minutes, I go into the room where like the American Airlines people are. And I'm like, hey, so the American Airlines flight for LA, when is that coming out? And they go, what's the flight number? And I go, 2135. I have no idea. I don't know. And also, what are you talking about? There's probably one LA flight in the past two hours, I would assume from American Airlines. The one that's
Starting point is 00:19:18 just in, she goes, oh, you know, we had six flights come in in the last hour and we were understaffed. And she says it to me like, I'm the asshole. Right. And I'm like, okay. Sounds like a you problem. Doesn't sound like a me problem. Why am I the bad guy for being like, hey, where are the bags? And she goes, well, what's the issue?
Starting point is 00:19:39 And I go, it's been almost over an hour. Unacceptable. And she goes, I know. And I go, you know? almost over an hour. Unacceptable. And she goes, I know. And I go, you know? She goes, I know. And I said, then why did you ask me what American Airlines LAX flight are you asking about if you know that one from LAX is over an hour late? Because she's been asked so many times. I know.
Starting point is 00:20:07 So many times. And I know that's not her fault. And like, obviously, they're understaffed. And the six flights came in in over an hour. But don't make me feel like an asshole for just being like, hey. ETA. What baggage claim is it coming out? By the way, American Airlines only uses one 24.
Starting point is 00:20:31 It's Carousel 24. It should have never even been a question. Never a question. About which one it was. Got it. You know? Yeah. I love the idea of the meeting that they have there where they're like, okay, so an angry
Starting point is 00:20:43 passenger comes in this is how you miss or misdirect one quiz them on the flight number because they won't know which i didn't yep and then be like oh yeah you know oh what carousel even though we know what carousel is going to be because we only have one i think maybe one or two and then be like hey we're understaffed and then like put it back on them being like i'm the asshole for asking the question and then my favorite part was so i ask all this and she's like what la flight is like what's the number then i come outside and i'm like i don't know like they know it's late but i can see from the corner of my eye this lady in this little room, and she's got a little walkie-talkie, you know, like a little megaphone. And she's like, American Airlines flight from Los Angeles coming in on 24 right now, right now.
Starting point is 00:21:37 And I go, oh, interesting. Very interesting. She made me feel like a crazy person for not knowing when the L.A. flight was coming in. And the first thing that she says on the horn, the L.A. flight from the American Airlines, flight 730, fuck yourself, coming in on aerosol 24. That was such misdirection from you, lady. Anyways, we got the bags. And I have seen a thing that if your bag is over 30 minutes late, you get miles. Delta.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Delta. It is Delta. 20 minutes. Yeah. Well, this was an hour. And you know what you get in American Airlines? Not shit. Nope.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Giddily squat. You get to made feel like an idiot by Suzanne in the American Airlines cubbyhole. God, Suzanne. Orlando, Orlando. Have you ever seen Book of Mormon? I've seen it probably eight times. I'm not going to lie. Like on Broadway?
Starting point is 00:22:42 Like live? Yeah. There's a movie, right? Is that trash or is? Like live? Yeah. There's a movie, right? Is that trash or is that worth it? No. There's no movie. Oh, there's not? No.
Starting point is 00:22:50 There's Mean Girls, the musical movie. That was a good joke at the Emmys. But I didn't get that joke at the Emmys because I didn't know that they were making another one. You know? Where there's our Mean Girls. Yeah. And then there's one on Broadway.
Starting point is 00:23:08 And then they made Mean Girls the musical. And then they're making another one. And then they came out with a new Mean Girls movie, but it's the musical from Broadway as a movie. I didn't get that joke. Well, I just explained it to you. And that's comedy, folks. True. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:23:29 True. What was it that Chelsea Handler hosted? Was it Critics' Choice? I didn't watch Critics. Well, yeah. She hosted whatever was right after Joe Coy. She fucking slayed it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:42 I know. And she threw shade at Jokoi. As she should have. Yeah, but did that relationship end poorly? I don't know. It's her ex. An ex is an ex. Yeah, an ex is an ex.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Jokoi is so nice. I've interviewed him multiple times. I've met him many times. And I feel bad for him. And here's my thing to the people who are casting for hosts don't cast joe coy that's rule number one don't cast joe coy rule number two is can we get back to casting hosts as hosts yeah because now it's like this weird thing of like we need a comedian that's going to really rip these celebrities and like let them know what's up and i miss the days of billy crystal i want three musical numbers i want a couple jokes and i want it to be great you know and i want it to move along you know and i also
Starting point is 00:24:38 want to know what carousel american airlines flight 375 is coming in from LAX. That callback came way too early. I feel bad about that. Oh yeah, we do have some favorite things about the winners of things. Of Globes. Of Globes. Critics. Number one.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Did I talk about Kiernan? Oh yeah. We posted the photo and everything oh he did oh and he says i don't pay attention that was gonna be a good story i already told it you already told it last week okay you said you had some you got some favorite things kieran wasn't sundance not that i saw him but just yeah he's got a new film out. Yeah. I saw. Okay, cool. I need to follow Kiernan. I don't even follow Kiernan.
Starting point is 00:25:28 I follow his wife. Okay. That sounded weird. I'm now hearing that from my ear hole, but it's because- Absolutely not. It's because she's the one who had the picture of us. And I was like, hey, Jazz, can I get that picture? For me, but also for my podcast.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Yeah, because we're just barely staying afloat over here. So we need all that we can get. Yeah, we do. You have some favorite things before you go down to the bar and get French fries. French fries. And saving you one. I have some things to add to the pod. Great. That are old things, but things to add to the pod. Great.
Starting point is 00:26:05 That are old things, but things that I think everybody loves. Okay. So I feel like the last time I was on Talking to the Wife Tears, I was saying that I was like binge watching shows from the golden age of millennial television, essentially. And I have kept strong in that. So December, I binged Lost again. I never finished Lost. Neither did I. I maintain no one ever finished Lost. Did you finish it? I did when it was still on television.
Starting point is 00:26:39 I did. I stuck through it because I am a committed person. did. I stuck through it because I am a committed person. I honor commitment. So I finished it. My next story is not going to show how much I honor commitment though. But for Lost I was committed. I was married
Starting point is 00:26:56 to Lost and even when it went off the rails a little bit in seasons 4 and 5, I was like, it's fine. I am married to this person. They will get through it and it always comes through. When they off the island and they're like in back home you're like no it was weird and they time travel to the 70s yes why did you do that i i read an article a while back so i don't know how true it is but um i read something somewhere that like J.J. Abrams and like the creators of Lost didn't think that Lost is going to be so such a massive hit. So they had the beginning and the end from the get go.
Starting point is 00:27:34 It was only supposed to last like three or four seasons. Like they were like, we're never going to make it past three seasons. Right. And then when it was such a big hit, they were like, guess we got to go on a detour now. And that's why it got a little weird. And then they ended up where they wanted to, but because they had to create such a detour for the success of the show to at least add like two or three more seasons onto it, it just got a little funky. How does Lost end was gonna ask that does anyone know how lost ends does john lock stop putting in the number code yeah he does thank god and that blows up oh it does yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:28:16 so does it does it end with them sorry spoiler yeah by the way if you haven't seen lost what the fuck this is it's been 20 years it's been 20 years. Yeah, it's fine. Is at some point they're all together and they're like, oh my God, we really died in the plane crash. And this is purgatory. I still have a lot of questions for the creators of Lost about a lot of things. But I thought that the last episode was a perfect bow tie. I'm treating, I treat the last two or three seasons of Lost
Starting point is 00:28:48 as if I treat the last season of Game of Thrones, where I'm like, I know how much work and effort and creative juices went into making this show. Juices. And nasty. Gross. Don't love that word. into making this show. Juices. And nasty. Gross.
Starting point is 00:29:06 And. Don't love that word. The last episode is just truly just, I think the perfect bow tie. Literally the opening shot of the pilot of Lost, the first episode. Yeah. Is.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Am I getting on a plane? No. Is Jack opening his eyes. It's a closeup of his eye. Okay. And it's him opening his eye, the one eye. Matthew Fox. And Matthew Fox.
Starting point is 00:29:35 And then it pans out and he's just woke up lying on his back in the middle of the jungle, right by a tree with a shoe hanging on it and everything. And then he gets up and stumbles and there's the plane crash and stuff. And the very, very, very final shot, spoiler, spoiler, is Jack lying down in the jungle right next to the tree with an even more worn and weathered shoe, same shoe, but more worn and weathered next to him. And then it's the tight shot on his eye as it closes. So I remember watching the finale for the first time hysterically sobbing because of the way that they shot it. And it was so beautiful and brilliant. I watched it in its entirety all again when I was probably like maybe 22.
Starting point is 00:30:15 And then I just did it for the third time in December. And I still love it. I love it so much. So he got in a plane crash, woke up, and was like, fuck, there's a shoe, and then he died. But everything that happened in between was in his brain? No. I mean, the writers have interpreted it in a a word like nothing that happened on the island is invalid okay you know no it's all invalid if it was in his brain no it's not just about jack's brain like it's every single human being on the show i don't want to get into the like diatribes
Starting point is 00:31:02 and conspiracy theories of lost i'm just saying it's a great show. I love it. After Lost ended, and I think you will like this very much, Braindy, ding, ding, ding. I was like, I have no idea what else to watch right now. I have no other like WB or ABC or Fox show that I can think of immediately because I binged Lost so quickly that I was like, oh my gosh, what else came out in 2004? And so I moved on to Grey's Anatomy. Oh, I thought you were going to say Prison Break. Oh no. Should I do that? I mean, I loved Prison Break. That's how my mom, listen,
Starting point is 00:31:46 I am to thank for this entire relationship because I was obsessed with Prison Break and then made Miley and my mom watch it with me and then my mom had a big crush on Dom and here we are. Did she thank you in her vows? Probably not but I took full credit in my speech
Starting point is 00:32:02 at the reception. Thank God you did. Do Tish thanking you in her vows or like post-wedding speech for you introducing her to her new husband? Wait, what? He wants you to do an impersonation of your mom thanking you for introducing them because you love person break. Even though she didn't do that? Yeah. Yes. Like what would have break. Even though she didn't do that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Like, what would have been? What should she have done? She should have been like, I just never really thought that I would meet the love of my life, but I have my Dominic, my baby. And you know who I have to thank for this? I have to thank
Starting point is 00:32:43 my favorite daughter, Brandy. Because if it weren't for her, I have to thank for this? I have to thank my favorite daughter, Brandy. Because if it weren't for her, I would have never watched this show. And if it weren't for her, I would have never sent him a DM on Instagram and told him that I thought he was hot. And she made me do both, and here we are. And Brandy, I have you to thank for this entire
Starting point is 00:32:59 relationship and for my happiness going forward. And Brandy, because of of this you are getting all of my money when i pass away i fucking 100 of my will because you brought me the most joy it's true and happiness the other two well the other four just give her anxiety and stress let's be honest yeah you deserve it deserve it. I do. I do. Brian.
Starting point is 00:33:27 That's what she would have said. It's a two-syllable Brian. It's a Brian. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Brian. Brian. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:33:36 For making me DM Dominic. What did that DM say? It said, Hey, hot stuff. Hey, y'all. You're hot. It was actually lame. hot stuff. Hey, y'all. You're hot. It was actually lame. She made it try to seem like work.
Starting point is 00:33:49 She was like, we should get together. I have this show idea to pitch you. You know how she is. Everything's a show and everything's a pitch. And so it was that. It was like,
Starting point is 00:33:55 yeah, I've got this show. I'd love to just pick your brain on or whatever. And he hit her back immediately and was like, oh yeah, let's go get a drink. And nothing was talked about work at all. But yeah, I started watching Grey's Anatomy from the beginning oh it's just so good immediately after lost so it's been a few weeks and i haven't had a lot of stuff to do so
Starting point is 00:34:15 i've binged it and i remember it being a mid-season replacement on abc in what say say January 2005 or something, like a few months after Lost premiered. I loved it. It was one of my favorite shows. And in my head, I stopped watching Lost or I stopped watching Grey's Anatomy after Denny died. Spoiler alert. Whatever. It's been 20 years. They're on their 19th season. That was a heartbreak of an episode. That was such a heartbreak. And so I keep telling everybody, I can't watch Grey's Anatomy anymore. There are too many seasons. I stopped watching after Denny died and there's no way that I could ever catch up. And I can't make it past Denny, honestly. But then I started watching it and i'm now on season six and i remember why i stopped watching it in the first place it was so traumatic for me i completely erased it from my memory
Starting point is 00:35:18 which is the death of 007 mr george o'm. Giorgio Mali himself. That one was tough too. T.R. Knight was my favorite, or Giorgio Mali, played by T.R. Knight, was my favorite character on that show. Yep. And I remember, do you remember all of that drama that was going on, like behind the scenes?
Starting point is 00:35:41 Yes. What was the drama behind the scenes? Katherine Heigl getting shit because she was talking about long hours yeah and then um what's imagine if she was a real doctor though am i right sorry and then uh the guy who played dr burke the heart surgeon that Christina, played by the most magnificent Sandra Oh ever, was about to get married to and he left her at the altar. That was heartbreaking. You remember Derek
Starting point is 00:36:14 Lee's crying. No, on the show. He was fired from the show, right? I think so. Because he was saying slurs and kind of being homophobic or maybe fully being – this is allegedly because this was like 20 years ago and I can't remember the actual drama in T of the press from 20 years ago. But I believe that he was fired from the show because he was saying homophobic slurs around T.R. Knight. And that's what I remember.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Maybe it's not true. Maybe I just made all of that up in my head. Because honestly, in my head, I stopped watching after Denny died. But allegedly, I did not. So now that you're rewatching it, did you make it past that episode where he dies? Yeah, so now I'm in season six okay after he dies and is he still has cancer meredith and derrick are married on a post-it is he still alive like it's like this whole um i want to call him, like, Dr. McReady, but I don't think he has, like, a nickname. That's my nickname.
Starting point is 00:37:31 I think there was all. After I haven't seen Sarah in a while. Oh, God. I feel like it's only McDreamy and McSteamy that have the nicknames. I think so. I want to call the, like, trauma surgeon McReady because he has red hair and he's always ready to go. He's still on the show to this day, by the way.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Shut up. Yeah, the redhead? Yeah, he definitely is. He's great and made of honor. Love that. What is his name? I'm totally blanking. Owen. Hurt. Hurt? Hurt. Owen is his first name on the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dr. Hunt. Dr. Hunt. There it is. hurt oh owen is his first name on the show yeah yeah yeah yeah dr hunt dr hunt hunt
Starting point is 00:38:07 yeah i was like hurt close so close so you're in season six so i just started season six literally last night so you got 12 more to go so many more you have a long long way to go wow So many more to go. You have a long, long way to go. Wow. Even more than 12. There's no way you're making it to current day Grey's. I don't think I can. I don't think you'll make it. I might flop over to Party of Five in a hot sack. I suggested Party of Five, by the way. Yeah. Great show. A great
Starting point is 00:38:38 show. I haven't watched it since it's been on television, but that's where I'm at in life is the Grey's Anatomy. And I'm starting to delve into new territory on Grey's. I love that for you, honestly. I very much quit after George. That was the most, I do remember watching that live on television.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Being like, this is the most shocking thing that's ever happened. It was. On television before. Yeah. Ever. It was very sad on television before. Yeah. Ever. It was very sad. Heartbreaking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:08 And then we see he opens the elevator door because she's dying and she opens it and George is there with a shaved head in his uniform. I know. Why does he have a shaved head? Does he have cancer? No, because he joined the army. Joined the army. Before he could join the army.
Starting point is 00:39:23 It's also sad. What was the Giorgio Mali thing to do, by the way? Truly, truly. Just like I'm going to become a trauma surgeon in the army and then throw myself in front of a bus to save a woman before I even get to the army. Yeah. Very George.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Who saved hundreds of lives instead of just one lady. True. Who didn't know how to use a crosswalk true George come on George that's what I'm out of life
Starting point is 00:39:50 you gotta at least make it to when Derek dies cause I know that one's a heart ringer for sure Derek dies? oh come on I remember
Starting point is 00:39:59 which one's Derek? McDreamy he's McDreamy Patrick Dempsey yeah Demps? the Demps man himself yeah I just Eric. McDreamy. He's McDreamy. Patrick Dempsey. Yeah. Demps? The Demps man himself. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:08 I just, I truly remember seeing that on, because like, didn't he die when the interwebs, like, was a thing? Like, social media and stuff? It's been a thing for a while. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Yeah, but like, when Grey's Anatomy started, Twitter wasn't even a thing. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Like, people didn't talk about shows on Facebook or Myspace like it was like Twitter and then Instagram so I remember like seeing that he died on the show and I was like how fucking dare you? That's crazy. So I think I might make it until when
Starting point is 00:40:39 Patrick is a goner. Yeah. Speaking of, give me a ding. One of my favorite movies starring Patrick Dempsey from the 80s, Can't Buy Me Love. Great movie. You ever seen that movie?
Starting point is 00:40:54 Never seen it. Great movie. Ooh, you should. You ever seen Can't Buy Me Love? No. Can't Buy Me Love? Can't Buy Me Love? Can't talk.
Starting point is 00:41:01 You ever seen Can't Buy Me Love? Can't Buy Me Love? Here's how ridiculous the 80s were. You know who Patrick Dempsey is. You've seen him on TV. They gave him a nickname, McDreamy, because he's so handsome. Now, in the 80s, they were like, you know what we're going to do? We're going to take this very handsome gentleman, and we're going to make him a dork that can't ever hook up with a pretty girl, a rich girl of whose house he mows the lawn of unless she ruins like a coat or a boot, boots or something.
Starting point is 00:41:39 I don't know. She needs money for some reason. And he's like, all right, I'll give you the money if you pretend to be my girlfriend. Fast forward to now, that girl is in obscurity. Definitely. Yeah, what happened to her? Who knows? But she's definitely not nicknamed McHottie or something.
Starting point is 00:42:02 McDreamy. McDreamy. Yes, but the woman's not named McCotty. Here's the thing. What I'm saying is that the 80s thought that they could take that guy and be like, he's a dork. But he was so handsome that seven years later, they named him McDreamy. They did. And now he's sexiest man alive this year.
Starting point is 00:42:21 Exactly. I will say this in defense of the 80s. Okay. Patrick Dempsey, to me personally, is a fine wine. He has, I will say that he does look better. He has gotten significantly more handsome as he's gotten older. And he truly, like, there has been no, like, setbacks at all for that man since 2004, 2005 when Grey's came out. For me, the most iconic Patrick Dempsey role, Sweet Home Alabama.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Oh, yeah. Come on. With Reese Witherspoon. With good old Reese. And Josh Lucas, hot. So good. So good. There's a dog in that, I remember that.
Starting point is 00:43:06 And it dies and it's so sad. I can't. Spoiler. I don't like it. A lot of spoilers in this episode. I'm trying to find this chick from Can't Buy Me Love. I'm like, what happened to her? Oh, I don't think she's worked in a very long time. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:43:21 Okay, now we know why she doesn't have a nickname. I'm scared. I'm scared. It's okay. How'd she die? I she doesn't have a nickname. I'm scared. It's okay. How did she die? I don't know. I just saw Day to Death, and I was like, I'm not going to look anymore. What date was the date? 2015.
Starting point is 00:43:33 We're all going to die. Yes, but I also am just like, I don't know. I feel 2015 in my bones like it was yesterday. It's almost 10 years ago. Yeah, but I feel it. Same. Isn't that the saddest thing that any wife tears ever heard is that 2015 is almost 10 years ago it's tragic very tragic you know like that uh kim kardashian gif where she's like on that phone and she's like tragic and just keeps
Starting point is 00:43:58 walking that's how i feel i'm not a gift gift gift Gift. Gift. Gift. Gift. Brandy, you have any favorite things? I'm still watching The Crown. I'm like. Oh, are you on the new season? So I finished the new season. I started at season four, like not that long ago. Oh. Because I'd never seen it.
Starting point is 00:44:18 I know. And so I wanted. I thought you started like season two or three or something. So I started season four, watched it all the way through the new season, then went back and started season one. And now I'm on season two or three or something so i started season four watched it all the way through the new season then went back and started season one and now i'm on season two okay see if you would just listen to me if we had talked i know i know i would have said start from the beginning i know because i listened to wells who said it's a wonderful place to start it's you had already started i said you know you encouraged no no no no no you can start from season four. You had already started. I said I think you would like it. No, you encouraged it. No, no, no, no, no, no. You could start from season four.
Starting point is 00:44:46 Reel back the reels. It's good though. I loved the first season. I love Matt Smith as Prince Philip. Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth. I mean, she's everything, you know, in the world. It's all so good. I've really liked almost every season.
Starting point is 00:45:02 The only season I thought was sleepy, I think, was season five. Who was who? So season four, when I started season four, that's when they introduced young Princess Diana. Oh, so you're saying the first or the second season of young Diana or the first season of older Diana? I think the second season with young Princess Diana was the sleepy one for me. Yeah. Because they weren't in every episode, she and Prince Charles. Is that when Helena Bonham Carter is in the house in Greece or Italy or something and she's drinking herself to death?
Starting point is 00:45:36 Yes. I would say if there were a sleepy season for me, I can see where you're coming from in that. I've loved all the rest. I loved the new season. Little Prince Williams, just the cutest freaking thing I've ever seen. He looks so much like him too. So much like him. Uncanny.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Terrifying, actually. I agree. I love The Crown so much. Something I want to start. Did you ever see the movie Australia with Hugh Jackman? Yeah. Is Abby Breslin in that i don't know i never saw that movie i remember it being a thing but i remember being like a really big movie let's
Starting point is 00:46:12 see nicole kidman nicole kidman hugh jackman well okay so apparently this movie came out like ages ago yeah now apparently they've turned it into a series on hulu oh and it's like basically the director's cut of the movie. So it's all kinds of deleted scenes and a completely different ending because supposedly from what I read, the director did not like the way the studio cut it for the movie, for the film.
Starting point is 00:46:37 So now like he's gotten a chance to like redo it basically with a bunch of deleted scenes and a different ending. Cool. So I'm going to watch that. All right. I think, was it Baz basically, with a bunch of deleted scenes and a different ending. Cool. So I'm going to watch that. All right. Was it Baz Luhrmann that directed that, or am I crazy? I feel like you could be correct. I missed Brett's text that they were going down to the bar 30 minutes ago.
Starting point is 00:46:58 So I'm going to go get some wine and fries. Order me a burger. A burger. Yeah. And save him one fry. You know how to do it. You know me. Me and Mare? Yeah. Tell the way of tears what you want.
