Do it. What's up? Hello. How are you doing? I'm good. My hair's wet, but other than that, like we're pretty together, you know? Why is your hair wet? I just took a shower. Oh, how was Montana? Oh, a dream. An absolute dream. I actually spent most of my time in Wyoming, but I was in both. Oh, really? Yeah. What do you like better, Montana or Wyoming? Wyoming.

Why is that? I don't know. There's just something about... Have you been to Jackson? I've been to Jackson Hole, yes. There's just something magical about Jackson. I don't know. And the Tetons.

I like Montana. There's something about Wyoming that speaks to my soul, Wells. I can't explain it. I just love it so much. Montana's great, but Wyoming. It's colder in Wyoming, and I think I like that better. Let me tell you what. The Paradise Valley was like 100 freaking degrees.

I didn't even know it could get that hot there. Why don't you move there? It's so expensive. Is more expensive than nashville jackson hole it's like the most expensive place you can live yeah but you can just move outside the outside the city limits a little bit yeah so i actually looked at land while i was there yeah you did yeah you did but i looked at land i feel like i'm giving away my secrets but i looked at land. I feel like I'm giving away my secrets. But I looked at land just across. So Jackson's like on the border of Idaho, really. Like if you drive 15 minutes west, you're in Idaho.

So I went over the pass and looked at land over there. And you can get some pretty, pretty beautiful land over there with views of the motherfucking Tetons for not that bad of a price. So are you buying? Maybe. Okay. I'll send you a video. I take videos. What does it matter where you live? You travel for work, so

you can live anywhere. You might as well live where you like and where the horses will be able to roam free. Here's my two concerns. The closest airport is Jackson Hole, and in the winter, they close the Targhee Pass sometimes, and then you're SOL on flying anywhere. Yeah.

Well, I think that what you need to do is— So that's a bummer. You can still go back and stay in Nashville, or you can come stay with your mom in— I know, in L.A. —California, where where it's gonna be nice during the winter yeah i thought about that actually and then my other concern is the winters just in general and like obviously the horses aren't going back and forth so yeah what to do with the animals in the winter but i feel like these two things are things i could figure out

you know as long as you're prepared for weather, anything's possible. So I just got to do some research and get my ducks in a row. But I feel like I am maybe an Idaho girly. I loved it there. I love Idaho. I love Wyoming. I love Montana. I love your Instagram posts.

Very cinematic. I love that. Thank you very much. You did some cliff jumping, I saw. I love that. Thank you very much. You did some cliff jumping, I saw. I did. I'm scared of heights. I don't know if you know this. Heights terrify me, and I'm not a good swimmer.

Remember, I almost drowned in Hawaii. So cliff jumping is, you know, it's a little out of my comfort zone, and I did it. And I got to say, every time I do it, I'm so glad I did. I thought the jump was what was going to scare me. Holy shit. The water was so cold. So it took my breath away. It was so cold. In that cliff jumping video, I noticed that your nose holder when you jump in the water.

Want to know why? Because one time I didn't. Makes no sense to me. Why people hold their nose when they jump in the water. Because the one time I didn't't i got a literal concussion from hitting the water that makes what are you talking about how did that i don't know what to tell you they were so it's water shot up your nose yeah i guess if it shoots up your nose a certain way it can bust your eardrums and that can cause a concussion maybe i don't all i know

is i did it in percy priest lake with my an ex-boyfriend like in my early 20s and i was so sick i like we went we drove to target parking lot i remember laying on the parking like on the concrete trying to get the water out of my ear and just feeling so sick and then his dumb ass took me home and let me sleep for the whole day and then when i woke up i started puking so we went to the er and they told me i had a concussion that's all i know whenever i see anyone as a nose nose holder when they jump in the water i'm like what are you doing i don't understand if you're worried about water going up your nose when you go in the water just breathe out a little bit and then air's coming yeah but like if you forget to do that it sucks so my friend emily jumped right before me i don't know if she didn't

hold her nose i thought she did but then i guess like it like somehow she let go and water shot up her nose and it made her feel sick afterwards. So I don't know. All I know is I learned from my mistakes in the past. I am a nose holder. I have to close my eyes so my contacts don't come out. And yeah, those are the two things. You've got a lot of problems going on.

I've got a lot of problems. A lot of issues. I'm not a big water gal. You're not an aqua girl. No, I'm not. I'm a lot of things, but not that issues. I'm not a big water gal. You're not an aqua girl. No, I'm not. I'm a lot of things, but not that. But it was fun to jump into the lake. You want to start the show?

How long you back for? Five days. I go to New York this weekend to play a show. And then I come back. And then I'm home during the week. And then I go to Dallas to play a show. And then I come back for one night. And then I go to LA. And I'll see you then. Nice.

Well, I'm excited about that. I ran across this funny list of social norms that make no sense. I thought we should rip through them real quick. Okay. Because I kind of agree with a lot of this. So someone went on social media and asked like, what are social norms that are really fucking weird when you actually think about it? And here are the top 10. Okay.

Paying tens of thousands of dollars to bury a corpse in the ground. Zero cents. I think it's one of those things of like, well, he's dead now and he's got like 20 grand left. Let's just use it on that. You know? I mean, let's be honest.

Everything that we do is a money grab. Yeah. From whoever's up top making these calls, you know? iCloud just told me that I'm almost out of storage and I need to buy a second terabyte for $9.99 a month. How much money do you need? Yeah. They need it all.

They need all the money. But when I die, don't fucking spend any money on that. You want cremation or what? Cremate the fuck out of me. Yeah. Take me. Well, I've told Sarah, take me to number seven at Pebble Beach. Scatter my ashes into the ocean.

Scatter my ashes into the ocean. Leave me the fuck alone. I don't like the idea. And listen, this is no judgment on anybody else, but I don't like the idea of being buried somewhere because I don't like there to be a location where people need to go feel sad. Yeah. For me. Yeah.

You know? Yeah. That's not what I need. I don't in death be like, ha-ha, look at all these dipshits coming to visit me and give me flowers. Like, I don't need that. Nah.

Don't fucking put on an old episode of YFT and remember me that way. Jeez. Number two, balloons. Here's a plastic sack of my breath. Happy birthday. It's latex, I think, but yeah. Yeah, you're right.

But that is a weird thing. Very. I do like breathing in the helium and then talking. I've never done that. What the fuck are you talking about? It scares me. How have you never done that? I don't know.

It's scary. Is it like this? Is it like this? Oh, it is. That's terrifying. I've never done that with a balloon. I don't want to sound like that. Yeah, but at least to like experience it.

Nope. I don't need to. Okay, hold on. Next episode, I'm sending you balloons to the house and you're going to do this because you haven't lived. It can't be that great It's funny No it's

Listen to me right now Well I could just do that I could just use that That voice effect And do it like that No No no no no You need to experience

The OG Hmm I cannot Think it's good for your brain To breathe helium I don't think it matters And also What does it matter

We're spending tens of thousands Of dollars on your funeral anyways. No. So, who gives a fuck? Follow the yellow brick road. Follow the yellow brick road. Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow the yellow brick road. Okay.

Number three. Insane. Ties being the standard for business attire. Yeah, when did we do? Why do we need ties? I don't love that. I don't know. I think originally they were for, like,

keeping your shirt together, you know? Like, you tied it so it would stay... Now it just looks stupid. Cards are a weird thing. Giving Hallmark money in exchange for a piece of paper that someone's going to look at for about 10 seconds and forget about? I kind of agree with that.

I hate cards. Do you really? I just, like... Because of that very reason. Like, you look at them for two seconds and then they're just junk. Sarah and I exchange a lot of cards and I keep them all. And I guess in my egocentric worldview, I'm hoping that like my grandchildren read them one day and they're like, oh, look how cute mom or grandma and grandpa were.

But a lot of the cards that I write are pretty explicit when it comes to like sex talk and stuff. So they're going to be like, Jesus Christ. And you know what I've started to do? I've started to write. So like our thing is that like when either of us leave for long periods of time or for any vacation or whatever, and we're away from one another, we like hide a card either in the suitcase or like back at home. So you discover it when you get there or when the person's gone. And so we've done it now, you know,

for whatever it is, five years. So I have gotten kind of bored with what I had been doing. So now I'm doing a different thing where I'm pretending as if it's like the 1700s. I'm like writing as if like, so a lot of them, it's like my dearest wife. This is so dorky.

I know. After a long voyage on the steam, on the steam train across the nation, I have finally landed in the beautiful town of New York City. And it's like stupid shit like that. Maybe I'm letting you guys in too much. I think maybe. Number six, clapping. Showing appreciation by smacking our hands together to make noise. Kind of strange.

I'm a whistle guy. I can't whistle. That's too bad. Like, you can't go... You can't do that. You can't do... No? Can't do that. God, your life sucks. You can't do this. You can't do this. You can't do this.

Buying litter. We buy special dirt for cats to poop in. Yeah yeah why don't we just use normal dirt i don't think well i think cat litter like do they like to shit in that here's the thing my cats just don't use it anymore but when they were kittens and we had them locked up we have this special yeah so that they're outdoor cats so we had like yeah we kept them in attack room anyway that's pointless the litter clumps when they pee on, so it makes it so much easier to clean. Yeah, but why don't you just say, hey, cat, go shit outside. What's going on here?

Well, because they were locked up, and now they do shit outside, so we don't use it. I don't think you should say it like that, locked up. Cat litter smells better than dirt. Okay, I'll give you that. If you live in a house in an enclosed space, the litter is better. I get that. It's weird that we acknowledge other people's sneezes. It is.

And we also say God bless you when that happens. You're never going to die because of a sneeze, you know? Right. That just means you've got something in your nose. We really should say God bless you when you cough because that means you could be sick and you could actually have something that could take you down. But a sneeze, no. You've just got some cayenne up in the nostrils good point smelled too much like aqua du jour or something using a customer service voice that sounds nothing like your actual

voice did you ever do that what do you mean well i think it's like at least when i waited tables i think i sounded differently like hey guys welcome into break tops how y'all doing and you're like whoa who the fuck is that person? And can I kill him? Every time I talk on the phone, this happens to me. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. The last one, purses.

They are useful. Super useful. Men are afraid to carry them. Not so much anymore these days. I've seen many immerse on the streets these days. Well, and I'll tell you how guys are getting around it. They're taking the fanny pack and then they're putting it across the body.

So the fanny pack is now like a chest pack. And it's like, hey guys, you're not fooling anybody. Just get a fucking purse. You know? Miley's assistant has a purse. Well, I would assume his assistant needs

a purse. Yeah, it's very fabulous. It's Gucci. It's gorgeous. I just, yeah. You're saying something, though. You're saying I'm a no-nonsense guy, and I hate shit in my pockets. Yeah. And I don't prescribe to backpacks.

Yeah, backpacks are not about it. Are there any other things that we do that are weird that doesn't make any sense? Oh, I'm sure there's a billion things. I'll tell you what. Now that I have a bidet, the fact that people just wipe their ass with toilet paper is crazy to me. Yeah.

There are people out here walking the streets with a dirty asshole. Yep. And we don't do anything about it. No. It's on them, you know? It's literally on them. It's still on their butthole.

It's literally on them. It's still on their butthole. It's literally on them. Tailpaper should be just for drying off a newly cleaned butthole. And I stand by that. Yeah. I think before we start doing some fave things, we've got to do some showbiz stuff. Showbiz, huh? Yeah. Apparently, women are now subjecting potential mates to the Barbie test.

So we haven't seen the movie, so how do we know what this is? But basically, if they don't like the movie or don't get it or don't want to go see it, they're not boyfriend material. Wow. I think that's kind of bullshit. You could do the other way around where guys could be like, how do you feel about the Yankees? Yeah. You don't like the Yankees? Well, I can't date you.

It's like, well, what the fuck? You don't have to like the Yankees. It's like, you don't have to like Barbie. Yeah. You don't like the Yankees? Well, I can't date you. It's like, well, what the fuck? You don't have to like the Yankees. It's like, you don't have to like Barbie. Right. I would go see it. Kanye West's Twitter account has been reinstated. Did you hear that? No.

Wait, speaking of Twitter. I know. It's now called X. Why did they do that? Because Elon Musk is a crazy guy. He's like obsessed with the letter X, though. Yeah. I don't like it. SpaceX's like obsessed with the letter X, though. Yeah. I don't like it.

SpaceX. I liked Twitter the way it was. I did, too. I don't like change. I'm like an old conservative Republican, you know? I'm scared of change. Yeah, and I don't know about that. I know.

But anyways, Kanye West's Twitter account has been reinstated after he reportedly promised executives he wouldn't post any more anti-semitic or hateful things he hasn't posted anything new yet imagine that conversation okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay okay i won't i promise say hitler had some good ideas anymore okay on twitter i'll say it like to my friends family, but not publicly. Right. Can I come back? And some executive being like, okay, but if you promise. Okay, fine. Yikes. Brad Pitt and Viola Davis both had exemptions to work on their current projects during the strike, but both chose to shut them down in order to show solidarity. This makes no sense to me.

We were talking about this yesterday. makes no sense to me we were talking about this yesterday so you can go work on a film if it's an independent film under the guise that when the film gets sold to a streamer they agree to what the actors demands are now what i don't understand that no that doesn't make any sense the reason why the strike will work is because no one's going to make anything, so the executives are like, fuck, we've got to go do this. They found a loophole. I saw Sean William Scott was only paid $8,000 to pay Stifler in the original American Pie. I guess he was so broke after that he got a job selling churros at the L.A. Zoo. That seems crazy.

That is crazy. Someone threw a drink at Cardi B during a show in Las Vegas over the weekend, so Cardi threw her microphone back at them. I saw that video. Dude, hey guys, let's stop throwing shit at people on stage. I know. Not too long ago, somebody threw a bracelet at Kelsey Ballerini and it hit her in the eye. It was pretty gnarly. And then also, was it Bebe Rexha?

Mm. Got hit with a cell phone, I think. Jesus. She had like a black eye. If you're in a metal band, you can throw your bra or panties, okay? But that's it. That's it. Yeah.

Apparently Paul Giamatti and Philip Seymour Hoffman were both offered the part of Michael Scott on The Office but turned it down. Louis C.K., Bob Odenkirk, and Rainn Wilson also read for it. Can you imagine turning that down? Maybe Philip Seymour Hoffman because he was funny in things like Long Came Polly. But Paul Giamatti's not like a comedic actor and I feel like you have to be somewhat funny to do that show, right?

Yeah, totally. And that's basically it on the showbuzz front. You got any showbuzz news? Showbuzz? Showbuzz? Showbuzz. That is so cheesy. I kind of want to start a show now called Showbuzz. Like the buzzy stuff that's happening in the industry with show business.

Yeah, you could for sure. Showbuzz. I can see it. Do you know about the new Tyler Childers song? Yes. It's about two gay coal miners. Well, it's not. The song's not really about that, but that's what the video is.

Yeah. And it has caused quite an uproar. Quite the drama. Quite the drama on my TikTok feed. Oh, yes. Everyone's so angry. What I love is like, so it's all these good old boys who are just like scared of fucking anything that's not white, goateed, straight. And they're like, man, Tyler Childers, you know, you lost a fan.

I can't, I don't like that. Let me tell you something. Tyler Childers did this so he wouldn't have fans like that at his show. You know, he's gotten to the point now where he wouldn't have fans like that at his show. You know? He's gotten to the point now where he doesn't fucking need any more fans. And he's like, listen, I'm getting a lot of guys in the crowd that may or may not poke holes in sheets. So let's see if we can kind of get these guys out of here. You lost a fan.

I've never listened to the Tyler Childers record. He's like, good, good, good, good, good, good. I'm glad you watched the video. This is what I wanted. I'd just like to say, if anybody has Tyler Childers tickets for Red Rocks and doesn't want them, I will take them. So shoot me a DM. If you're scared of the LGBTQ community and don't want to go see Tyler Childers, actually at any concert, I'll also take those tickets.

And I'll go to that. Yeah, Radio City sold out. I would take those. I mean, his whole tour sold out. So just send tickets my way, please. Thank you. Bye. I know.

I like that Outlaw Country having this big resurgence. Totally. I feel like. At first it was Americana, right? And now it's just like, you know, Tyler Childers, Zach Bryant, Jason Isbell, Colter Wall. Yeah. They're great. I don't know what your TikTok looks like, but mine's a lot of like, the aliens are here and the government finally admitted it. There's so much good alien content right now.

And like, no one cares. No one cares. Which is weird. Yeah. I think people cared more when it wasn't revealed by the government that it was happening. Well I think that yeah is that shocking though? Like I feel like that's how it goes. Everyone's like their own

type of hipster you know they're like well I liked aliens before when they put out their first record. Now that everyone's into them. Oh, man. My favorite is all the content about like, oh, the dating pool just expanded. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now aliens are in the mix. Are the aliens six feet tall and above? Less baggage than the humans on Earth. And, you know, the whole aliens come down here and people beg to go back with them kind of thing. There's just so many good... I thought I sent you one funny one, but I don't think I did. But there are so many, and I love it so much. I think the aliens might be nice.

Definitely they're nice. I think they've been here this entire time. You don't think they're nice? I think they could be. They could be nice, right? I don't think they want anything? I think they could be. They could be nice, right? I don't think they want anything to do with us. I have to be honest with you. I mean, I wouldn't either if I were them. If I was a higher

intelligence, I'd be like, look at these fucking idiots. Like, they're mad at this music video about two guys in a coal mine. Maybe they're not quite ready yet. But if they do live here, they've got to be like, you guys are fucking up this

earth. You guys got to fix this up, you know? Yeah. Or they're like, this is great. This happens every 20,000 years. Humanity builds up and builds up and then it fucks it up and then we start all over again. Yeah. Maybe that's what's happening. I do like that there

are aliens now, right? Or I guess we're saying that there are identified, unidentified crafts and all this kind of stuff. And so there are these aliens and they're playing coy with us, you know? They're like, oh, I'm gonna hide. Don't look at me.

Don't look at me over here. Oh, you don't see anything? You know, it's like, well, we know you're here oh you don't you don't see anything you know it's like well we know you're here now why are you playing coy that's hilarious do you have some faith things bro or what bro i mean i'm caught up on the bachelorette are you i'm not actually oh i've kind of fallen off i gotta be honest i mean it's kind of a sleepy season also it's almost over but it just started so that's confusing it's only eight episodes yeah so i don't know like uh here's the thing i feel like it's already hard to believe that somebody's like ready to get married by home

like ready enough to like ask a dad's permission to marry their daughter and all that shit before hometowns and now that it's even shorter it's like even harder to believe that they're that far along i don't know so that it just like kind of ruins it a little bit more for me but i guess you didn't watch it but tanner's exit was very sad why did he leave she sent him home because somebody had to go and he was the one. And you know what's funny is, what's the guy's name? The blonde guy. What's the blonde guy's name?

Because he left first and he like seemed so into her. Like he was like spiraling, you know, because he really thought he. So he and Tanner were on this two on one and he was like spiraling because he really thought he like had it in the bag and then she didn't give out the rose and so she he comes to see her and she basically says like i don't feel the same way as you do and he is like he is like very upset and i was just kind of like eh like i don't know if i i don't know how much i really like buy into this that he's this this invested and all that or whatever like i wasn't that sad to see him leave. But then Tanner, who's had no screen time, we've seen nothing about their relationship. His goodbye was like so emotional

and I was so sad for him. He just like literally like seemed like he was on the verge of tears and I just think he is so precious. And if it looked like he could grow facial hair, I would maybe be interested. Can he not though? I don't know.

I don't think so. He seems very sweet. Is he getting a bachelor at it? I don't think so. I don't think so. He seems very sweet. Is he getting a bachelor at it? I don't think so. I don't think they've shown him enough. Really? Yeah. Well.

He's very quiet, which, you know, they like people that are big personalities for the lead, I feel like, but. I don't know if that's true. Really? Well, he's adorable. I feel like Tennis Boy is getting the bachelor at it. Joey? Yes. Well, speaking of reality shows, I am completely addicted to Love Island USA.

And it's not just because my wife is. I mean, there is by. That's how I got hooked in. But last year, I couldn't watch it. I was like, Sarah, I love you so much, but there's way too many episodes. It's like an episode every single night. Yeah. And so I couldn't do it. I was like, Sarah, I love you so much, but there's way too many episodes. It's like an episode every single night. Yeah. And so I couldn't do it.

But this year I'm locked in. And boy, oh, boy. Hashtag Team Bergie, the Bergster. They should make Bergie the Bachelor, if I'm being honest. You've got to watch this show. It is absolutely insane. And I'll tell you why. There's this one guy named Bergie who's a dairy queen general manager.

He's a total dork. Okay? He's 6'2", but he's, like, just kind of nerdy and whatever. And everyone else is, like, the cool kid. They're all, like, ex-athletes and models and everything. And then you got the Bergster. And, like, it's really messed up because the burgster and i was hope not to like spoil it for if you're not caught up but like

somehow the burgster locked in this girl carmen who's like a total 10 like super smoking hot like a model hot right and i'm just like yes the fucking nerd is winning like this is great and and carmen had this other guy named victor who looks exactly like jason momoa he was jacked long hair like he was from spain he had a cool accent and she was kind of juggling both of them and then she got the ick from the spanish guy and berg was in the lead here and everyone was so mean because bergie was like he went and told carmen he's like hey listen victor told me that you just think of me as a friend like you don't think of me as a romantic thing and she goes like i didn't fucking say that what the fuck so she went and confronted him and then he got all upset and he was like bergie why do you talk about me

worry about your own self and they all started kind of like bullying bergie a little bit and it became this thing of like the cool guys making fun of the dork like it was just high school all over again for me i so badly want the burgster to win this hot chick they came down to a vote if they were going to vote out carmen the hot chick, or Victor, the guy that looked like Jason Momoa. And all the girls had Berge's back because he's just like such a girl's guy and like so sweet and kind of a dork. And all the guys were like, fuck Berge.

We want him out. Victor's here for the right reasons, yada, yada, yada. All the guys were like, come on, let's be real. There's no world in which Bergie gets Carmen. It's never going to happen. And I'm sitting there being like, yes, it can. The little guy can win. It can happen.

It can happen. And so Bergie gets sent through. He makes it. Victor goes home. And what does that Carmen, what does Carmen do the first second she gets? She fucking dumps the Berg, puts him in the friend zone, and it just was so annoying.

The cool guys were right, and I wanted them to be wrong. I really was thinking you were going to say that he got the girl. No, he didn't. Bummer. It was like, oh, you know, Carmen, I was holding out hope for you that it wasn't all about shiny, pretty things, and you were actually in a substance and you guys had similar values and were both religious and come from middle America, small towns.

You could really kind of grow from that. But nope. You're just like every other super hot chick, just into looks. Got to watch Love Island. Sounds great. USA. And it's on Peacock, so you can go watch that. Yeah.

Get into it. How many episodes in are you already? I don't fucking know. There's a lot of them. Like too many to catch up, I feel. I don't know, like maybe seven. Oh, that's not horrible. Yeah, I think you can do it.

Okay. There actually might be a lot more than that but um you can do it well i've been watching too hot to handle yeah how is it great per use this is the way every season goes right it's like all these hot people come in here yeah they all say you know i'm just here for sex and fun and whatever but then about halfway through the season the girls actually get invested yep and start to believe these fucking shitty guys that like are like oh i'm actually building a relationship with this girl and then they start to believe the bullshit and then those guys and then new girls come in and those guys flip-flop so fucking quick and then all the girls are devastated yeah every

time people can't change men are just trash so we're hot women but no but all the girls are devastated. Yeah. Every time. People can't change. Men are just trash. So are hot women. But no, but all these girls are getting hurt. Yeah. They're all just getting hurt. It's tough to find people who want to go on reality shows purely for love. Yeah, but these girls didn't, and they get there, and then they're actually like, oh, I actually like this guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And they get there and then they're actually like, oh, I actually like this guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We should start a reality show where it's under the guise of a dating show. But really, like the winner is the person who's like the most manipulative and the most like cutthroat. Jeez. And call it wrong reasons. It's actually kind of funny. I would watch that show.

Call on. I know. And the whole thing is the interviews of like, she totally believes that I'm into her, but I can't stand her. But if I stick around, then I'm going to win wrong reasons for a million dollars. That's so terrible. I don't know if I could watch it, honestly. You would watch that show. I probably would, but I would be so upset the whole time. Or just have it be called Men Are Trash.

That's better. I like wrong reasons, though. I know. Yeah. When does Paradise air? I think in October. Everyone's asking that question. I'm like, when am I?

Far away. ABC scheduler? I don't know this stuff, but I think it's October. You should know. Yeah. We finally watched the flash and let's try to set aside your feelings about ezra miller and maybe kidnapping someone and grooming an underage person and but i wanted to see it i like the flash like batman you know and

michael keaton's in it we decided to watch it and dc needs to get their shit together when it comes to cgi because it just looked like a video game the entire time you're like i can tell this is this is like a video game you know now the storyline's great the whole thing is pointless when you get to the end of it you're like we did all of that for nothing really ezra miller it's too bad that he's got this like really really fucked up story going on about him because he is a very good actor he's very funny michael keaton is great coming back as batman i hate the fact that michael keaton came back we resurrected you know my batman and he has to be kind of like marred in this whole like Ezra Miller bullshit of it all. DC wanted to do what Marvel did, which was open up different timelines to get like a bunch of people from like old Batmans and old Robins and whatever.

Doing that, they achieved that. And I think now I realize why like because James Gunn's coming in and he's like riding the next like Suicide Squad or Justice League or whatever. They're just like we're recasting everybody, you know? And like it was fucked up because Henry Cavill quit Witcher because he was like under contract to continue being Superman. And now he's getting recast. And I think they're all just like with this Ezra Miller thing, we kind of want to separate. Everyone's, we're getting new everybody. Damn.

Anyways, The Flash is pretty good. I'd wait for it to come on at max i don't think we talked about it because i think it was the week maybe that you were gone did you ever watch emily the criminal no it's so good it's aubrey plaza uh it's a little netflix movie that she did i i think it's a few years old but then once white lotus came out and you know that was so popular people started talking about it. She carries the whole fucking movie. It's it's incredible.

She's amazing in it. Her character, she's like living in like sketchy L.A. or whatever. And she's trying to pay off all these student loans. And in the first few minutes, like she's on the phone and she's like, hey, you know, I made this $400 payment and I'm not seeing it show up on my account. And they're like, oh, well, your interest was $400 and something something, so I just paid that. And she's like, are you fucking kidding me? She's killing herself to make these payments. And I guess she's got something on her permanent record that happened

in her past, so she's having a hard time getting a good job. So she gets wrapped up into doing some illegal shit for money. And then kind of gets wrapped up into this crime ring. But it's really really good if you haven't seen it I would highly recommend down on her luck

and saddled with debt Emily gets involved in a credit card scam that pulls her into the criminal that pulls her into the criminal underworld of Los Angeles ultimately leading to deadly consequences Emily the criminal starring Aubrey Plaza,

Theo Rossi, and Bernardo Badillo. That looks good. Yeah, I think you'd like it. I talked about this, I guess it was a long time ago, there was a show called The After Party. And so now it's back for season two. And the original one, it was like all taking place. It was like a high school reunion,

and everyone came back for it. And then one of the people had become famous and was having this after party someone ends up being dead at the party and then they're trying to figure out who the killer is and every episode stars a different person that's at the party and it does it in their voice and so every episode is like a little different like some's like film noir and some's like uh you know mission impossible style and one's like wes anderson like you know it's all unique and they're all telling their story they're trying to figure out who the killer is anyways there's a new one the after party season two and it takes place at a wedding and it is so good you've got to watch the after party mainly because you like a whodunit

yeah i do what network's it on it is on apple tv oh i love an apple show you need to watch season one to understand season two no really but i think you'd like season one because it's got what's james franco's brother's name dave dave Franco. He's like the main character in that. And then in the second one, still Tiffany Haddish and Sam Richardson. They're the main stars in both seasons. Zoe Chow actually as well. And then in the second one, it's like got Ken Jeong and a bunch of other kind of bigger names that you know. The really funny guy from Silicon Valley. Anyways, After Party.

Cute. Very good. Go check it out. I'll After Party. Cute. Very good. Go check it out. I'll watch that. Speaking of Apple shows, I finally started Hijack last night. Do you like it? I do, but I've only seen the one episode. How far in are you?

We are, I think there's one more episode left that comes out next on Wednesday. And so I'm completely caught up. Wow. Yeah, it's good. It's just frustrating because you're like, are you good or bad? That's my question. That's so I'm completely caught up. Wow. Yeah, it's good. It's just frustrating because you're like, are you good or bad? That's what my question. That's what I'm wondering. I'm like, is Idris Elba a good guy or a bad guy?

I don't know. And I'm going to tell you something. I'm almost at the end of the season. Still don't know? Still don't know. I mean, I think he's good, but I'm not sure. Yeah. Damn.

We started watching this show called The Crowded i think i've seen that who's in that tom holland oh come on this is like the role that tom holland said he had like take a break from acting because it was like so like fucked up his psyche so much which maybe or what a great soundbite for promoting a show i guess guess Tom Holland, I don't know. In Manhattan in the summer of 1979, a young man is arrested for a shocking crime and an unlikely investigator must solve the mystery behind it before the true criminal strikes again.

The Crowded Room on Apple TV. It's got Amanda Seyfried. Love her. Tom Holland, Sasha TV. It's got Amanda Seyfried. Love her. Tom Holland, Sasha Lane. It's great. It's, I think I figured out the twist already. But I'm not sure. Okay.

And yeah, it's good. It's a good psychological thriller. Good investigatory situation. The same thing, you're like, not sure if Tom Holland's good or bad, whatever. But yeah, The Crowded Room. Go check it out. Okay. Sounds good.

Told you about it. It's been taking me a freaking forever to read this whole thing. But I think I'm almost done with Fourth Wing. This is the book that's about dragons and training your dragons and everything. And I was like, it's like Game of Thrones meets Harry Potter. Andter and i was like it's like ya you know so like whatever it's for kids it's fun let me tell you something sister this book is not ya because we've gotten to the sexual parts okay oh my god i'm in my car windows windows rolled down, driving down Ventura Boulevard, listening to this book about fucking people, flying dragons. And then all of a sudden the sex scene, I'm pulled up at light and it's like he started rubbing my shit over my underwear.

And all I wanted was this throbbing hard inside me and i was like jesus christ people were like what are you listening to guys and i'm like i thought it was a story about dragons i thought it was for kids oh no oh my god totally changes how i'm reading this book i thought it was kids in high school you know becoming dragon riders oh not so much they are oh my god so yeah fourth wing go check it out if you're into dragons and harry potter and also 50 shades Grey, this book's for you. Last one we started doing was a documentary called Betrayal. Have you heard about that? No.

It's called Betrayal, The Perfect Husband. Follows how one woman came to learn that her husband, high school teacher Spencer Heron, was engaging in several sexual assaults and improper behavior with his teenage students. Betrayal. The perfect

husband. Yeah, I mean, that's kind of the story. I kind of just told you what the story was. It's pretty fucked up. But I didn't read that part before I started watching it with Sarah. And like, this guy seems so awesome. Such a nice guy. Leaving your notes

and wonderful gifts and so attentive. But little did we know that Spence was a piece of shit. So if you want to continue your dialogue of Men Are Trash, this is a perfect documentary for you. Okay.

I think it's on Hulu. Yeah, we watched it on Hulu. Sounds right up my alley. Yeah, it is. It's perfect for you. I thought this was interesting, and I want to play this for you, see what your answer is, and I also want to kind of hear what the YFTR's answer would be. Okay?

Okay. All right, here we go. Let's test your emotional intelligence. Out of 100 people, only one person got this right. This was for an interview at a law firm. And I use this all the time in my coaching business. So let's see what your answer is. Here's the story, and it's just made up.

And just go by gut instinct and what your answer is. Here's the story and it's just made up and just go by gut instinct and write your answer in the comment and then go listen to the next video that will share what the true answer is. So pretend you're a guy driving a two-seater convertible. You pass by a bus stop. In the bus stop, there is one gorgeous woman that you fall madly in love with and you see yourself marrying her and having 20 kids. Then there's a guy with a briefcase, very, very desperate to get to an interview because if he doesn't get that interview and that job, he will lose his house and his family won't have money. And then there's a third person who's very, very sick and is waiting for the bus to go to the hospital. So if you were

in that, if you were that guy in that two-seater convertible, what would you do? That's the EQ question. Write your answers in the comment and I what would you do? That's the EQ question. Write your answers in the comment, and I'll see you on the next video with the answer. Okay, so what would your answer be? Well, I feel like this is a trick question. It's not a trick question. It's just a test to see what your emotional intelligence is. What would you do in that scenario?

You're in a two-seater convertible. Yeah. You pull up to a bus stop. Uh-huh. There's the most beautiful woman you've ever seen in your entire life you know that that is your soulmate yeah whatever give her your number and move on what who are the other two and there's there's someone who's very sick and needs to go to the hospital and then the other one is got a job interview he's got a job interview and he needs got a job interview, and he needs this job. It's really, really important for his prosperity going forward. You're at the bus stop. What do you do?

I feel like I would take the person to the hospital. Yeah. I think that's a nice answer. Yes. Uh-huh. I think that's good. Okay. So now what?

I mean, that's it. That's not the right answer, though. Well, how is there a right answer? Because there is an answer that fulfills everyone's needs and makes everyone happy. Fascinating. Well, okay, so the other thing you could do is stay with the hot chick, let the guy with the meeting drive your car, drop the dude at the hospital, and then go to his meeting. Nailed it.

Yeah. Yeah. So I thought that was interesting because that's how I answered it. I was like, give the car to the fucking two people, have them go to the hospital, go to the meeting. I'm going to stay with the chick. I mean, in theory, that's great. But in reality, you're not going to give your car to a stranger for sure but this

whole thing is hypothetical yeah yeah sarah was like you know as someone who's like struggling with health issues she was like i'm helping the person in taking them to the hospital and i'm like yeah that makes total sense for me but then she but she did the exact same thing she goes why am i giving my car to somebody yeah exactly like i reality, like, this guy with a job interview, like, you know, you'll figure it out. You know what I was thinking about the other day? There's a lot of differences, obviously, between men and women. Obviously, you know. Men are garbage.

Women aren't. Yeah, there's a lot of women who are garbage, too. But, you know, Venus Mars, all that kind of bullshit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's kind of one specific social thing that differentiates men from women, and I'll tell you what it is. Okay. Pick up basketball is the example that I can give you. Okay.

Men will go to the park, watch people they do not know play basketball, ask if they can join in, Not know. Play basketball. Ask if they can join in. Play an entire game with a bunch of people they've never met before. Then become friends and do it all again next week. Completely put themselves out there. Make new friends.

And they'll do it every single week. Men who play golf do the exact same thing. You'll get a tee time. You're a single. You'll join three other people you do not know. You will go and spend the entire day playing a sport, getting to know these people. Whereas women, I don't think you guys would ever do that.

No, never. You would never put yourself out. One, just like meeting somebody new, but like playing a sport, which is like can be judgy, you know, and you can be self-conscious about yourself. Men will totally go do that. And it's not weird at all. But for women, no fucking chance in hell you'd ever do that. No, not a chance.

Not a chance. It's so interesting to me. It is. You guys are crazy. I think it's crazy that men do that. I know. I know women think that's crazy. And that's funny to me. Insane.

All right. That's all I got. You got anything? Just some music, I guess. What music do you got? Well, we got to play Tyler's song. Love that I have found, so I will stand my ground. You never made your line, ever.

We were just meant to go. Long enough to find what we were chasing after. I believe I found found it in your love tyler childers in your love It's so good. So good. Also, Chris Stapleton put out a new song. Have you heard it? No. It's called White Horse.

It's also so good. It's so good. Stableton Whitehorse. Man, we're doing a lot of outlaw country today. No, I doesn't? I like both those things. Susto Mermaid Vampire. That's cool. Yeah, I liked it. Me too. You got New York coming up, right? New York coming up this weekend. Well, I'll see you out here in just a couple weeks. Yeah, a couple weeks. Yeah, a couple weeks.

Yeah. Can't wait. Alright, YFTers, we love ya. Love you guys. And if we have any alien listeners, we'd love to have you on the show. Love. Stop being coy with us. Oh, God. Don't look at me,

humans. Oh, my God. Don't be silly. Don't look at me, silly humans. I want to be hiding the shadows. You're freaking me. Yeah. Stop. Don't look at me. Insanity.

You have to admit, it's kind of like what it is, though. This podcast has been brought to you by Podcast Nation.
