Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - The lazy fox jumps over the big brown dildo!?
Episode Date: July 22, 2020Wells is extremely hungover after crushing a bottle of wine and FaceTiming all of his contacts (except for Brand-eye). Meanwhile, Brandi is struggling to leave her house because Nashville is officiall...y feeling the heat but she still has many animals who depend on her. The co-hosts debate if anyone truly knows what they’re talking about when it comes to wine (the answer is no), if Wells’ next endeavor should be Broadway (the answer is also probably no), and whether we should make Bill Nye the next president of the United States (this, however, is a yes). Wells somehow has gone down a middle-aged woman fantasy tunnel when it comes to his reading recommendations and has an unusual favorite coming your way. Besides from Wells’ romance novel, the hosts have new music, TV shows, and even hot guys that they’d like to put on your radar. Also, do you guys remember the last person you shook hands with? Because we sure don’t. Until next week! Thanks to our awesome sponsors for making this episode possible! Check out these deals just for you, YFTers.

You cry
the tea
that you hurl in the sea
to see me go by.
Why so sad?
Hello.
Hello, Clarice.
I know this is not going to come as a shock to you, but whatever.
It's true.
I'm hungover, but I have a good excuse as to why.
You're right.
I'm not shocked at all.
I wasn't going to be hungover.
Uh-huh.
But our friend Caitlin Bristow texted me a couple days ago being like, hey, do you mind
coming on this Zoom call with a bunch of fans?
I was like, yeah, okay, sure, let's do it.
Thinking it was for, you know, her podcast or whatever.
Mm-hmm.
No, it was for her wine.
It was a wine-tasting Zoom call, and I had to drink a bottle of Spade and Sparrow wine, and I got wasted.
Had to, huh?
I wanted to be a good sport about it.
I saw her post about this last night, and I was going to ask you about it, actually.
First of all, it was 300 women.
The only dick in the house was this dick right here.
And they're all like, mmm, let's taste this
Pinot Grigio.
What do you taste?
The peaches
and raspberries
and apples
and cinnamon.
I'm like,
shut the fuck,
none of you guys
know what the hell
you're talking about,
all right?
It's just wine,
okay?
It's good wine.
I'll give it to her,
it's good wine.
But like,
the moment anyone's like,
mmm,
I taste a little bit
of a fern tree and uh cinnamon sticks shut up no you don't tree and i know and the reason like why
is because my dad makes his own like i've told you this my dad has a little place up in in wine
country he makes his own wine so we go up there and we help him make his wine he makes his own
wine it's good
and he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking no one knows what they're talking about when it
comes to wine i agree i feel like everyone's just making stuff up like even when i'm in south africa
and i mean obviously the wine is great there yeah whenever they're like oh yeah you taste the hint
of uh of uh cherry and this one i'm like I have no idea, but I don't at all.
And they swirl it around the glass.
Oh, look at the legs on that.
That means it's high sugar content.
All right.
Every time I drink wine, one, like I will admit
there are things that I like
and things that I don't like in wine,
but mostly it's like, yeah,
that tastes like I'm getting drunk.
That's it.
That's as far as I've thought through.
So you drank one whole bottle in the course of how long?
An hour?
Maybe, yeah.
Maybe.
Pretty fast.
Then I was drunk because I drank a bottle by myself.
So then I went down and this is what I do.
I FaceTime everyone I know when I'm drunk.
So I sat outside and I kept drinking FaceTime to everybody.
And not me.
Well, yeah, because I knew this today was happening.
I don't want to spoil the, you know, the show.
Uh-huh.
Came inside at like nine o'clock, had a neat dinner, wasted.
And I was like, I gotta go to bed.
So, okay.
Do you think a wine hangover is worse than.
100%.
Like a whiskey hangover?
I do too.
Because it's all that sugar.
Yeah.
So much sugar.
But I will say this, a couple glasses of red wine is not bad.
A couple glasses of red wine, you don't get too drunk.
It helps you sleep.
See, I don't like red wine.
Red's the only one I don't like.
You know, what's funny is that Sarah used to only be a rosé gal.
All right?
Only rosé.
Mm-hmm.
And we recently ran out of rosé, so we started drinking some red wine.
And now she's like full-on Malbec.
Really?
Yeah.
She was like, she made me go to BevMo and get, I bought a case of Malbec.
Oh, my gosh.
My thing with red is, number one, it just, it's so much heavier feeling.
Yeah.
I don't know.
And number two, a lot of reds, especially the ones I find that people love, are like
kind of spicy.
Mm-hmm.
And I just don't like that.
But you're doing the thing of you can taste things in wine, though.
Saying like it's spicy or sweet or something is one thing.
But to be like, yeah, there's hints of tangerine, mandarin oranges in this one.
It's like, no, there's not.
There's not.
No.
Well, try a Malbec.
That's what Sarah seems to like.
I don't think I like that.
It's from Argentina.
I don't think I like it. I do from Argentina. I don't think I like it.
I do like a rosé, but I like a lighter
colored rosé. Usually the
darker it is, the less I like it.
I do like a white
wine sometimes.
I don't like it to be thick.
Chardonnay is a thick white
wine. I don't like that. I like it to be almost
clear looking.
Like water.
Yeah,
exactly. Well, okay, so I'm hungover. How are you doing? I'm pretty good. It's 105 degrees outside.
That's the heat index. So I don't know if you can recall living in Nashville. But for those of you that live in the good old southeast, it has finally the time has come where you can't go
outside. You got to stay inside in
the air conditioning at all times because it is freaking miserable out there well it's good you
should stay inside anyways because covid you can go outdoors i know it's true by the way can we
talk about how crazy people are oh they're nuts i made a post i posted a thing just being like hey
can you wear a mask because my fiancee is immunocompromised just being like, hey, can you wear a mask because my fiance is immunocompromised?
Just being like, just do it.
Don't do it for me.
Don't do it for you.
Can you do it for her?
Because if she gets it, she's fucked.
She is fucked.
You know, like that's straight to the hospital.
We are in trouble.
I couldn't.
But that was controversial.
Everything is.
The fact that people are like, the virus is smaller than
the mask openings and it can go through them. Shut the fuck up. And I'll tell you why I shut
the fuck up. Because if that were true, then doctors wouldn't wear masks when they cut your
ass open to fix your broken patella tendon. Okay? What are you talking about? Patella tendon's not
a thing. Patella tendon's not a thing it's the thing that
blow out in the middle of time have you seen this like thing going around i saw it on facebook which
the fact that i'm even on facebook anymore tells you how like dire the situation is as far as
entertainment so apparently there is um a sentence yeah So there's a sentence that has every letter of the alphabet
in it. Do you know what it is? Yes. What is it? It's like the small fox jumps over the large
bin or something. Close. Yeah. It's the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Yeah. Has
every letter of the alphabet at least once and so there's this post going around
where somebody posts just that on facebook it's like the sentence in the picture whatever
and and it's like there's like 800 comments of people being like uh there's no c um where's the
v uh i don't see a w and it's like that's how freaking ridiculous people are on instagram and
comments like that sentence has every letter like you look at the comments like that's how freaking ridiculous people are on Instagram and comments. Like that sentence has every letter.
Like if you look at the comments, like where's the C?
And you go read it, there's a C.
Oh, there's no W.
Oh, yeah, there is.
Like people just want to argue.
People just want to be annoying.
Yeah.
As people, are we just hardwired for negativity?
Maybe.
Is it some sort of evolutionary thing like us being mad all the time
like helps us stay alive so i think it's a more like conditioning than an actual like human trait
i don't know it's sad though we got to pull it together we do we gotta we gotta come together
as a people and you know what i can't watch tiktok anymore no because it i don't know
what it is it just sucks me i'll be watching television something that i want to watch that
i want to focus on this is going to be so nerdy and so fucking privileged white i like to watch
golf okay i do whatever oh my gosh leave me alone I want to focus on what Tiger Woods is doing.
And then I'll do TikTok and I won't look up at the screen.
As people, we are negative and like so easily distracted.
Oh, totally.
Maybe this is all just a simulation.
We've gotten to the level in the game that we can't beat, you know?
Yeah.
And we're almost out of lives and we're about to have to start all over again oh i don't want to start all over sounds hard yeah all right so now that
we've done like five minutes on being negative let's turn it around all right we did it i think
that everyone's gotta do you gotta you gotta have like five minutes every day just to be like, fuck. And then be like, go comment on the Lacey Fox jumps over the big brown dildo.
And then be like, all right.
Time to start.
Uh-huh.
You want to do it?
Let's start at the show on that note.
Okay.
Is it my turn?
Go for it, dude.
Bros and hoes.
You're listening to your favorite thing podcast with.
Wells and Brandy.
That was a nice time for music.
It's not the price that you're willing to pay.
I'm obsessed with this song.
I have now learned the entire first, like, chorus or the first half of it.
Well, I saw you were doing this on Caitlyn's thing last night.
Oh, so you were watching it?
No, she posted stories about it.
Oh, okay.
So my buddy Daniel Ellsworth, he's an amazing piano player.
And I was like, I need you to learn this song.
Because next dinner party, when the COVID's done, I want you to play it.
And I want to sing it
and i want to wow everybody with it oh my god i want everyone to be there for this i know i want
everyone to be like wow wells is really talented so that's like your new party trick yeah exactly
like i can cook i can make drinks now i want people to be like, he should be on Broadway, maybe.
You definitely shouldn't.
I was reading a review of us and.
Oh, God.
I was thinking we need to do a fuck you very much.
It's been a minute.
I thought this one was funny.
And also like, fuck you.
Subject line of five stars and please, Wells, no singing.
Okay.
My fave podcast.
Can't wait for it every week.
And also screaming out loud lately at Wells.
No singing, dear God, stop.
You cannot sing and you are barely funny.
When Brandy gives you a hint, listen.
Playing old series cover songs, by the way, none
of us knew, and you made Brandy feel stupid
even though she blew you off, and please
no reviews in that strange
summary voice of movies or books.
Take the lead from Brandy a bit more.
Love you guys. Just take it down a notch
Wells. When Brandy says she's having a hard time,
touch on why, etc.
Okay, fuck you. That's so funny. No. That's so funny because
I feel like when either of us talk about like
quote unquote having a hard time we get shit on for it like your lives are great can you not
yeah i know but also fuck you pansy leo i'm gonna keep on doing my voice all right i'm gonna keep on
singing because you know why makes me feel good and there's not a whole lot going on right now that's making me feel good
brandi so whatever anyway well i'm glad that they're in my corner i mean yeah they shit on
you but like shout out to being a bc fan i guess yeah a lot of people though are upset with you
for not coming to the show prepared is what i've noticed on the oh really yeah so some people are Wells fans but not Pansy Leo
listen I would love to be more prepared but I'm gonna need about eight more hours in each day
to sit around and watch television as much as well here we go I'm gonna talk about the farm
let's hear about the farm it's a okay now it's 105 degrees outside I have to go down there like
four times a day my poor animals are down there just dripping sweat all the time it's 105 degrees outside. I have to go down there like four times a day.
My poor animals are down there just dripping sweat all the time.
It's so hot.
The flies are so bad.
It's a lot of work.
I have to go down there and make sure they're not going to have a freaking heat stroke.
Can I ask why you don't pay someone to do all that stuff?
COVID, I didn't get to go on tour, so I'm broke as a joke.
The biggest reason I don't is because no one freaking does it right. Like if
you want something done right, you got to do it yourself. You know what? My dad taught me that at
a very young age and man, he was right. Like it doesn't matter how many times I show somebody
exactly what to do or explain somebody exactly how I want things done. No one can do it right.
No matter how many times I explain to somebody or show somebody exactly how to do it, no one does it
right. So like if you want it done right, you you gotta do it yourself so that you're not upset that's not that it's not done right truth that's
the biggest reason it's okay i'll come with the with the content you come with the shoveling
shit stories and uh we got a podcast i did watch a new show this week what do you got i already
forgot the name of it let me look it up okay not very good hbo you might have seen it it's called love life with
anna kendrick no oh i think it's new but there's definitely i watched two episodes so i know
there's a few out oh hbo max speeds up release schedule for anna kendrick's love life love
anna kendrick do you like anna kendrick yes there's a lot of people that i feel like try so
hard to be funny that they're just not funny and she she, I don't know, does it for me. Like she's just
like subtly funny enough that it's actually funny to me. So this show, she's the star of it. And I'm
only two episodes in, but it's interesting. It's all, it's about her dating life. I mean, hence
the name of the show, but, and it's like, it's just a very real life,
like very realistic look, I guess, at like what dating is like right now.
She lives in New York City. In just episode one, she's like dating this one guy. And then in
episode two, she's like already on to another relationship, but it's like a year later.
So it expands like a lot of time. But I don't know. It just really shows the ins and outs of how freaking hard relationships are.
I like stuff that's like brutally real that I can like actually relate to, I feel.
Yeah.
So it's cute.
Great music.
HBO slays it usually.
They do.
And I like that they pushed up the release to all production houses out there.
If you got shit, throw it out because we ain't got nothing to do.
I know it's true i feel like it's probably definitely much more like a girls show like a women for like women would
probably like i don't know that you would love this show um it's definitely geared towards women
a women's audience i would say but honestly like super good and i think anna kendrick's hilarious
all right i like it yeah we've already talked it, so I'll just kind of like breeze through it.
But I am obsessed with the show Alone.
And now I'm going back into old seasons and watching Alone.
So what are the locations of the seasons?
I'm on the first season right now, which, by the way, shout out to Roku.
Kind of a big Roku guy right now.
We used to have. Yeah, and Ioku guy right now. We used to have-
Really?
Yeah, and I'll tell you why.
We used to have Apple TV.
And we thought that that was just the tits, you know, the bee's knees, okay?
Uh-huh.
But now we've got Rokus instead of Apple TV because the Apple TV, like, they were like
too old and we couldn't get like Disney Plus on it.
It was so fucking weird.
So we got all these Rokus because we have Amazon.
We have Netflix.
We have Hulu, NBC Sports. That's why I watch golf on, so nerdy. We have all these different things because we have Amazon. We have Netflix. We have Hulu, NBC Sports.
That's why I watch golf on, so nerdy.
You have all these different things to watch, right?
And you go to Roku and you just search in this Roku thing and it'll be like, okay, so
this is on Apple TV and on DirecTV and on Hulu and this season's on this one.
It shows you where everything is.
Huh, that's pretty cool.
Yeah, it's great.
Season six of, this is so dorky, but whatever.
Season six of Alone is on Netflix, okay?
Season three, four, and five is on Hulu.
Season one and season two and a half are on Amazon.
It's all over the place.
I don't know.
What happened?
I don't know what happened.
So anyways, once we figure that out, I'll be like, okay, we can go back to the beginning.
So the first season is on Vancouver Island.
We're watching that one and everyone is just can't handle.
Unfortunately, we watched the most recent season first.
And like by that time, everyone was like really good.
Okay.
Like the people have been watching a show and like figured out like that's what you
got to do.
The first season people are fucking are tapping out at day one.
They're like, fuck this dude.
This sucks.
It's so good.
Vancouver Island, we watched.
And then season three is back to Vancouver Island.
But you get to bring a friend.
So the show should have been called kind of alone because you're not alone at all.
I was looking it up one day because I almost started it.
And I saw, I think, a season in Patagonia, right?
One's in the Arctic.
That's like the season six.
Two are in Vancouver Island.
One's in Patagonia.
Well, I think one's in Mongolia, but we haven't gotten there yet.
Anyways, dude, it is so good.
It's genius television because they don't have to do anything.
The people fucking do it themselves.
It's just edited really well.
So anyways, I've just been ripping through seasons of alone is it fast paced because
my concern watching like the trailer for it was that it was just going to be too slow to like hold
my attention especially when i'm tired yes it's very fast paced because they're having to jump
around to different people okay and then you start really rooting for people and like not rooting for
people this one season these two brothers won in the one that was the kind of alone season.
And both Sarah and I were like, we don't like these guys because they like fought the entire like they're brothers.
They just fought the entire time.
We're assholes.
And then there was this one couple who was so cute.
Like they were they'd been married for a while.
They were so sweet and we were rooting for them so bad.
But she got too skinny.
And when you get too skinny, you gotta go home.
So really? Yeah. So, yeah, that's a thing. for them so bad but she got too skinny and when you get too skinny you gotta go home so uh really
yeah so yeah that's a thing dude how fucking humans have gotten to this point i don't understand
because no one can survive out there for more than like 60 days before they are just they just look
like freaking skeletons dang and dude you they eat so gross as shit man ew i can't even think
about it no it's amazing.
So anyways, watch Alone, bro.
Okay, I really do want to watch it.
And I really, I told,
I've been telling Reinhardt to figure it out
because I think he would really like it.
Yeah.
You know what I was thinking about the other day?
What?
Do you know who the last person you shook hands with was?
Jeez.
I don't.
I mean, it's definitely pre-COVID
because I've even been in a couple of situations
where I think one time, like, the HVAC guy HVAC guy came over to fix the AC or whatever.
And he like stuck his hand out to shake my hand at the door. And I was like, no.
Yeah.
Like I straight up had to be like, oh, no.
I know.
And he just like didn't get it. So definitely pre-COVID. So no, I couldn't tell you who it was.
I couldn't either. I don't know. Listen, I don't got much.
The simulation is almost over. Oh my God. Game over, man. It's amazing how this show has completely pulled me out of my hangover. Really? Yeah. I was so not feeling it. Is that like a dig or like a
good thing? I think the show makes me happy. and when i'm happy that i'm not hung over
oh good i think when you allow yourself to be like sitting on the couch lazy and shit like
your body just is like resigned to feeling like shit and then when you like have to like go and
do shit like i don't know i'm no scientist clearly oh did you see that bill nye did a
tiktok on how to like like on the benefits of wearing a mask? Back to the mask conversation.
Yes, I followed Bill Nye on TikTok. He also did one. Did you see the one where he talks about skin color?
No, I haven't seen that.
Oh, my God.
I need to actually follow him. It popped up and I was like, Wells would love this.
He talks about the UV spectrum on the planet.
This is a map of the continents of the Earth showing how much ultraviolet light lands in each latitude.
It turns out the closer you are to the equator, the more intense the ultraviolet.
We use reds and purples.
But then as you move away from the equator, we change the colors to orange, yellow, greens, and grays.
Now here's the same map of the same continents with just one color.
And it turns
out that everybody on earth is descended from people that live here in Africa. And then as
groups of us moved around the world, the color of our skin had to change. And here's why. Our skin
is where we make vitamin D. If you don't get enough ultraviolet, you don't get enough vitamin D. But
if you get too much ultraviolet, then you break down your folates. You have to have it in perfect balance. And because the ultraviolet varies, the color of
our skin varies. And that's it, everybody. That's why we have different colored skin.
But we're all one species. But we're not treating each other fairly. Not everybody's getting an
even shake. So it's time to change things. mean bill nye for fucking president oh seriously can
he run it's actually not a bad idea love bill nye what if bill nye was our president that'd be so
sick like childhood wells would fucking lose his mind that's so funny who should bill nye's
running mate be hmm who's the the teacher with the magic school bus?
Miss Frizzle.
Oh, there you go.
Miss Frizzle and Bill Nye the Science Guy.
I'm not mad about it.
I'm not either.
So, you know, I have a handful of trusted people in my, I call them my COVID pod that I trust to come over here and hang out with me.
And at first I thought they just really enjoyed my company. And then I started noticing that after they've been in my house for about five
minutes, the first thing they ask is, hey, so where's your Theragun? I can borrow it real quick.
I'm not joking. This is not an exaggeration. My friends are coming over here to use my Theragun.
Listen, I don't blame them. Dude, serious appreciation post right now for Theragun.
It's this device that just
takes all the aches and pains from your body and i don't know that sends them away to the bad place
i don't know what happens but it's the best thing in the world and i tell you what they've got the
normal size one right yep but my jam's the mini bro and i'll tell you why guess what it fits in
my golf bag and guess what brother guess what happens
your boy goes and plays golf and his back hurts because sold your forearms hurt oh big whoop no
my back i'm sitting there on the golf course with my theragun mini just loosening up that back i'm
playing with my brother my brother's like oh let me get that i'm like yep there you go and then
you know what by the end of the day everyone on the golf course has been using the Theragun.
You're insane. So I have the
all-new Gen 4 Theragun
and it's a game changer because of how
quiet it is. Literally, like, you
wonder if it's even on, but
it has the same power and effectiveness
as the louder versions
and the louder percussive devices
out there. It's so great and
I use it a lot because of horseback
riding. My, my muscles are always sore, but I went kayaking yesterday and my arms and shoulders
felt like dead weight. But after I used my Theragun for a few minutes, like it just makes
everything better. Like it really is great. And whether you're a freaking athlete or just a
regular freaking person, like it's great. It's a great stress relief. It really helps you sleep better. It relieves muscle tension. It's Wells and I
honestly just love the crap out of ours. Yeah, it's awesome. Try Theragun risk-free for 30 days.
There is no substitute for the Theragun Gen 4 with the OLED screen, personalized Theragun app,
and the quiet and power that you need. And here's the thing, starting only at $199.
Just go to theragun.com slash YFT right now

Brandi, let's talk about delicious food cooked by me.
Cooking Wells?
What's up today, Air France?
I'm with another episode of Cooking Wells, the HelloFresh edition.
So here's the deal.
If you don't know what HelloFresh is, listen up.
Because it is pre-measured ingredients, mouth-watering seasonal recipes delivered right to your freaking door.
America's number one meal kit, HelloFresh, lets you skip those trips to the grocery store because
you don't want to go anyways because of the COVID. And it makes home cooking super fun,
super easy, and super affordable. It's a thing that Sarah and I love to do together. We get
the box in the mail. We say, what are we going to make it today? And then we get like three
different recipes and it's amazing time together.
And then it's delicious.
Who doesn't want to save time and save stress?
I know for me, like I'm just not a very good cook.
So HelloFresh is great because it offers that delivery to your doorstep.
Every ingredient you need delivered to your door and they literally lay it out for you
of exactly how to make it.
The best part is it's on your table in just about 30 minutes or sometimes even 20 minutes with the
quick recipe options. And you can truly save up to 28% by using HelloFresh versus going to the
grocery store and shopping yourself. Yeah, their contactless delivery to your doorstep is great for
times that we're living in right now. Also, their carbon footprint is 25%

Okay, so Claire's Bachelorette season is filming.
Yeah.
How did they, I guess because they had so much time, is that why they ended up like
recasting?
Because didn't they get like half the cast replaced with new, older guys?
From what I understand, it goes against the rules to know
who's going to be on your show and they released the guys and then they had to stop production so
then claire was able to see who was going to be on her show she was is that why they did it yeah
they i think they had cast a lot of the guys before they decided on her and i think once they
had more time they're like all right we should get some more age appropriate guys for honestly i kind of feel like this is probably the best thing that
could have happened for her to have this time and for them to have time to recast because i feel
like when they are initially released the list of guys i was kind of like like not only are they all
like a lot younger than her but like i just wasn't really that impressed with the list. The new list?
There are some hotties.
Yeah.
Have you taken a look?
I mean, yeah, but I don't know.
What do you mean you don't know?
I'm not over here fucking drooling over a bunch of dudes.
It's not my thing.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, well, I was not that excited about this season initially, but after scrolling through here and seeing, like, there's going gonna be guys my age on television and older like this is very exciting and i'm very
excited to watch now purely by scrolling through let me just tell you who my standout faves are
real quick okay so okay my favorite just by scrolling and reading those little descriptions
is his name blake oh speaking of Blake, we got to talk about Blake.
Blake Moniz?
Yes.
Moines?
He's my fave.
He's my fave.
There's like a few pictures floating around of all these guys.
There's one picture of Blake where like he definitely needs to clean up his facial hair.
But overall, super hot.
He looks jacked. And I just overall, too, when you scroll through, it's like these guys are way more rugged looking than your typical Bachelor cast.
Do you agree? What about Chasen, who looks like the guy from Outer Banks? Yeah,
Jason looks like the main guy from Outer Banks. Oh, yeah. There's some hotties. Alex,
he's got some scruff. He's looking a little rugged. I'm here for that.
Okay. So Hawkeyes on the show. Jordan's cute, too. Can you believe it? They have hot guys on the show?
No.
This is a new thing for me.
I don't usually think this many of them are this hot.
What about my season?
There's at least one hot guy on that show.
Yeah.
Jordan was hot.
Yeah.
That hurt a lot.
Oh, yeah.
Derek too.
Derek's hot.
And me.
There's some cuties.
I'm very excited about this.
All right, good.
They started yesterday, apparently, so.
Oh, that's so exciting.
Do we have, like, a release date?
Like, do we know when this season's going to air?
I don't know, but I know she's, like, over 30 guys, which is, like,
too many dicks, too many dicks on this floor, too many dicks.
This guy's not really my type, but he's so cute.
36, Tyler Smith, and he's so cute. 36, Tyler Smith.
And he's a music manager and co-owner of an apparel company and owner of a real estate company.
They have really stepped up their game.
I mean, we have gone from social influencer as the occupation to this guy has like three jobs.
Okay, let's be fair.
They're all going to be social influencers afterwards.
Maybe.
For like seven months.
They all have real jobs.
Ooh, this guy is really hot.
How do you say his name?
Uzoma?
Okay, enough of this.
He goes by Easy.
Love a guy with a nickname.
You think that's because he's easy in bed?
Easy to get to bed?
Easy to have sex with?
Maybe.
You teased something about Blake.
I want to know what's going on with Blake.
Oh, have you not read all the articles?
No.
What?
Blake from The Bachelor?
Yeah.
What did he do?
Supposedly, he is in a relationship, but isn't telling who.
Okay.
So who is it?
That's not a big deal.
That's it?
That's all you got?
That's the information?
I actually know who it is, but I can't say.
Well, say it.
I'll edit it, because I want to know now.
Okay, but you have to edit it.
He was absolutely murdered.
I'm not going to be the one that breaks this fucking forum. It's... Okay, now that you know who, but we can't say it. I'll edit it because I want to know now. Okay, but you have to edit it. He was absolutely murdered. I'm not going to be the one that breaks this fucking forum.
Okay, now that you know who, but we can't say who.
I just feel like this is a big deal for Blakey.
I just feel like he doesn't ever – I feel like he's not quick to come out and say publicly that he's in a relationship.
So I feel like this is a big deal for him.
And I just – you guys just know how much
I love my little Blakey. I really hope that he's happy and I am just super pumped for him.
Okay. Let's do other favorite things. Okay. I watched a movie called Joshy recently. Have you
heard of this? No. It was so good. You remember the movie Sideways? No. Okay. Well, that's a great
movie too. So for everyone out there who's seen Sideways, think of that like it's funny, but it's also like it's an indie film.
It's like really, it'll get you.
Okay.
So here's the synopsis.
Josh's fiance kills herself.
Four months later, Josh's friends hope to cheer him up at the cabin in Ojai, California, rented for his bachelor party weekend.
Starting at the local bar, things get wild.
Okay, listen to the cast.
Thomas Middleditch is Joshy.
He's the guy from Silicon Valley,
and he also does Middleditch and Swartz,
which we talked about,
which is that long-form improv thing on Netflix,
which is great.
Then you have Adam Pally,
who he is, he's been in a bunch of
stuff. He was in like Iron Man 3 and Sonic the Hedgehog and Dirty Grandpa. He's phenomenal in
this. And then you have Nick Kroll. You know who Nick Kroll is? That sounds familiar. He was on
like The League. He's a standup comedian. He's just the funniest. He's in it. Do you know who Alison Brie is? Yes. She's in it. Aubrey Plaza's
in it. Jenny Slate's in it. Lauren Graham is in it. Jake Johnson is in it. The list of amazing
actors in this indie film is just off the chain. It's so good. It's funny. it's sad you you're gonna laugh you're gonna cry go rent joshy
we watched it on prime so you can watch it there anyways it's so good dude cute the other one that
i watched was the old guard have you seen this or like seen a trailer for it okay what platform is
it on netflix okay a covert team of immortal mercenaries are suddenly exposed and must now fight to keep their identity a secret just as an unexpected new member is discovered.
Okay.
So Charlize Theron is the leader of this whole thing.
And then there's a bunch of like less known new actors.
But like, okay, so think of they're all immortal.
They're like Wolverine from X-Men.
Like if they get shot, like the bullet pops out and their body heals like immediately.
They've been around for like ever.
They've been helping fight wars forever.
Like the backstory is pretty crazy.
But they've got to be, like, super secretive because if, like, the government finds out what they are,
they're going to, you know, turn them into lab rats and try to figure out, you know, the secret to their immortality, yada, yada, yada.
It is so good.
Like, if you're looking for, like, a good shoot-em-up movie with Charlize Theron leading the pack, this is great. And I'll tell you my other thing that I love about it. Phenomenal film.
The end of it, you're like,
oh, we're going to
get another one. It's definitely
going to be a thing for a while.
Great stuff. This is a new movie?
Yeah, brand new movie on Netflix.
All right. Very cool.
Check it out. Check it out, bro.
I read a book.
I read a book. So I finished.
You got a book?
You got some book stuff?
So I think I went down like a middle-aged woman, like fantasy.
Huh.
And I didn't know I was doing that. But for whatever reason, I did it.
I read a book called Winter in Paradise by Ellenen hildebrand do you know have you heard of
that can't say i have this must be like something that like women read on the beach on vacation and
i didn't know that uh but i didn't hate it i thought i was i thought i was walking into like a straight up like murder mystery.
All right, here we go.
What I found was it's just a bunch of people fucking each other.
So it's a soap opera in book form.
Yes, exactly.
And then I finished it.
The whole time I'm waiting for like, wait, when does like the murder mystery start happening?
Because everyone's just fucking each other.
And finally by the end of it, I'm like book's almost over when are we gonna find out about the
dead guy because there is a dead guy and it's like the last chapter is like
my phone rang and it's the fbi and they're like we're now looking into this murder and it's like

I was going to say, I want like an excerpt.
Winter in Paradise by Elin Hildebrand.
Russ Steele's two lives collide when he's killed in a helicopter crash in the Virgin Islands.
So you can see how immediately I'd be like, ooh, mysterious copter crash? Okay.
Like, ooh, mysterious copter crash?
Okay.
Irene Steele, his wife of more than 30 years,
learns that her husband had a home, a girlfriend, Rosie Small, and a daughter, Maya Small, in St. John in the British Virgin Islands.
Okay, this motherfucker has been leading a double life.
He gets mysteriously killed in a copter crash,
and Irene's going to go down there and investigate
what's happening on St. John with her two sons.
But what really happens is that Irene and her two sons
go down there and just fuck everybody on the island.
And at the end, they're like, wait, what about the
dead guy? The FBI's like,
wait, hold on. We're gonna look
into this.
You're losing it. You know this, right?
But you know what? It wasn't bad.
It was pretty good.
Honestly, I'm probably gonna read it i know what's the next one it's like a whole series
oh my god this is out of control oh god yeah i'm crying i know
oh and by the way from your suggestion last week i started reading snowman you like and harry hole
yeah i mean i'm like i just finished uh winter in paradise so only a couple chapters in
it's a harry hole story got you all right what do you got wow mine's probably not
as entertaining as that not too long ago i read a book called the lost night by andrea barts
if you remember me telling you about that one um and so i picked up her new book it's called the
herd great cover by the way not that i judge a book by its cover, but great cover. Actually, I feel like that's the reason I picked up her first book.
So maybe I do judge a book by its cover.
Okay.
Why did the founder of a glamorous co-working space for women disappear?
Her best friends will risk everything to uncover the truth.
The name of the elite women-only co-working space stretches across the wall behind the check-in desk,
The Herd, the H-E-R in purple.
In the know, New Yorkers crawl over one another to apply for membership to this community
that prides itself on mentorship and empowerment.
Among the hopefuls is Katie Bradley, who's just returned from the Midwest
after a stint of book research blew up in her face.
Luckily, Katie has an in, thanks to her sister Hannah, an original Herder,
and the best
friend of Eleanor Walsh, the herd's charismatic founder. Eleanor is a queen within the herd's
sun-filled rooms, admired and quietly feared even as she strives to be warm and approachable.
As head of PR, Hannah is working around the clock to prepare for a huge announcement from Eleanor,
one that will change the trajectory of the herd forever. Though Katie loves her sister's crew,
she secretly hopes that she's found her next book subject in Eleanor, who is brilliant, trailblazing, and extremely
private. Then, on the night of the glitzy herd news conference, Eleanor vanishes. When the police
suggest foul play, everyone is a suspect. Eleanor's husband, other herders, and men's rights groups
that loathe the herd, even Eleanor's closest friends.
As Hannah struggles to figure out what her friend was hiding and Katie chases the story of her life, the sisters must face the secrets they've been keeping from each other and
confront just how dangerous it can be when women's perfect veneers start to crack.
Jesus, was that the whole first chapter?
Yes.
That sounds good.
Yeah. Yes. involved so juicy and this one also is i i like that it's about women in the workplace like i
don't know i just like it's women my age it's like very relatable but also there's a juicy murder
to spice things up so i'm excited to read it all right i'm excited to so have you started it yeah
i'm like one chapter in okay well after that you gotta you gotta read winter in paradise Read Winter in Paradise. I probably will.
I have a product fave thing.
Really?
Not an ad, but we should probably reach out to them and see if we can. I was going to say.
Have you heard of Stasher?
No.
They're basically like rubber Ziploc bags.
Oh, I have one of those.
Do you?
Yeah, but it's probably just like a different brand.
Yeah, who knows?
The ones that we have are by the brand Stasher anyways they're ziploc bags they're
effectively just rubber ziploc bags so you can wash them use them yeah but it's great like i
feel like i'm not because you we go you go through ziploc bags like crazy you know and you're like
this is so much plastic everywhere and clogging up the winter and paradise oceans so anyways
they're just great like there's something to say other than they're just fucking reusable bags,
but they're great.
So I really, I really like it.
Love a reusable bag.
I love it.
You know, trying to be.
Yeah.
Notice that like I have my water jug.
I know this is maybe so like tree huggery or whatever,
but I'm trying to go like much less wasteful these days.
You know?
That's great.
Have you been watching Zac Efron's show?
Because it's all about being less wasteful. Noful nope i did see a post that it was like zach efron now embracing
his dad bod and it was like a picture of him from baywatch then a picture of him from this show and
he fucking looks exact same like what are you talking dad bod i was confused about these
headlines also because if by dad bod they mean like he grew a beard and looks like a dad, then sure.
But I didn't really understand that either because he gets in a hot tub in like episode one and he still looks very ripped.
Yeah, he's shredded.
Yeah, I don't get it.
Yeah.
But if like that's their way of being like, ooh, zaddy Zac Efron is looking smoking hot, then agree.
of being like ooh zaddy Zac Efron is looking smoking hot then
agree I think the only
difference I could see I mean I think he is
in better shape in the Baywatch
one but it's
more of it he like has like his
body hair trimmed
more so is
dad bod now just people who are fucking
hairy I guess so then I got
dad bod bro
I think you're I think you're too skinny to be hairy? I guess so. Because then I got dad bod, bro. I got dad bod for sure.
I think you're too skinny to be
dad bod. Yeah, I don't know.
You got anything else? You got some music or something?
I got some music, yeah.
You do? Yeah.
What do you got? You know who I just
love? Who? Troye Sivan.
He has a new
song called Easy. I'm digging it.
I once interviewed Troye Sivan and we wrote a country song together.
Really?
That's not a joke.
It's a real life thing that happened.
And it was really bad.
Oh, interesting.
Easy by Troy Sivan. because he made it easy easy
please don't leave me
leave me
what's left of the dance the smell on my hands
the rock in my throat a hair on my coat
a stranger at home, my darling.
That's a kind of freak, my darling.
Now I'm the only boss, I'm sad and alone.
But don't cry for me, cause everyone knows you reap what you sow, my darling.
It's got kind of like a Phoenix vibe to it.
Ooh, yeah, I would agree with that.
You know, especially the beat.
Loved Phoenix. What happened to them?
I think they're still around. That band was awesome, by the way. So good.
Ellie Goulding has a new
song. Haven't heard from her in a minute.
It's called Love I'm Given, and I
dig. Her voice is just so sick.
She's one of the more unique voices, I feel
like, on the radio these days. When I say
radio, I mean like spotify yeah and i'm trying to make the most of my mistakes. If you and me, I know you'd do the same thing.
But something's in my mouth that cannot change.
But I can change.
Gotta love some Ellie Goulding.
Love.
The Avett Brothers have a new song out.
Oh, they do.
Oh, they do.
This is called Victory.
Am I sad or am I sick?
What's at the root of it?
Do I throw my hands and quit?
Something tells me no.
In the broom grass I would lie.
In the broom grass I would lie Glimmer in my eyes
Sun smile back on me
From victory I'll try
To match eternal life
I love the Avett brothers.
Very well.
They're just the best.
The new record's called The Third Gleam. I love the Avett Brothers. Very well. They're just the best.
The new record's called The Third Gleam.
The Second Gleam is a record that I consider top five records of all time.
So I'm very excited for this third gleam to come out.
It hasn't released yet, so this is obviously the first single.
But when that comes out.
I also wanted to play the new Rustin Kelly track.
I feel bad for him right now.
I can't believe.
Can't believe can't believe yeah in case you guys don't know rust and kelly was uh was married to
casey musgraves space casey getting divorced i don't know what happened there yeah so rust and
kelly got the music out i mean i guess we can say silver Lighting, we're going to get some real good Sad Bastard music from them pretty soon.
That's true.
And Casey.
Yeah, both of them. the pressure I wish
I could take it
losing shape
maybe
I'll collapse
I hate to be dramatic
but I think
good songwriter
I have so much music
that I want to do but I'm just just going to cut it down to three.
What would you rather hear?
Would you rather hear the new Father John Misty or the new Wild Rivers or the new Jenny Swim or the new Brent Cobb or the new David Ramirez?
What do you want?
Geez.
I want a lot of good shit out right now.
I don't know what to tell you.
Wild Rivers.
Okay.
This kind of feels all right.
The acoustic version.
We'll have an acoustic version
right yeah
so you went and cracked the statue i guess it's what i needed
and now some girl's asking about that tattoo
Still think I'm gonna keep it
So if you're getting drunk at your best friend's house
And I come up and they're asking
But we said maybe we would test it out
But it's lasting
i catch myself when i'm on my own
streetlights pass and i'm stumbling home they're very good at making musics yeah that's great i
like that a lot yeah you know i think I'm going to go do next weekend?
What's that?
I think I'm going to go camping.
Oh, I was just literally watching Ben Higgins' Instagram.
He's in the Tetons right now, and I've never been more jealous of anyone in my whole life.
You can go to the Tetons.
I know.
It literally makes me want to pack a tent and just drive my Jeep to Wyoming.
I mean.
Do it.
So tempting.
Yeah, I'm going to take the cruiser.
Where are you camping?
I think.
I'm not sure yet.
So I think I'm going to go with Courtney.
You remember him from like, he was on Winter Games.
Yep.
And Dean and my brother.
And I'm going to throw an inflatable mattress in the back of my Land Cruiser
and I think we might do Big Sur.
That sounds so nice.
Right? Yeah. So jealous.
I'll be here sitting in the air conditioning
because it's literally my only option.
Yeah. Alright. I mean just thinking
about 105 degrees
just makes my
grundle sweat. I literally have to go out in it
like the minute we're done and hose off the horses
and it's going to be brutal.
Enjoy that ocean breeze.
I will.
You know what? Yeah, I'm going to.
Really take it in for me.
No, I will. It's going to be great.
And you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to listen to Wild Rivers while I'm out there.
That sounds so nice.
This is such a camping song.
Bye, Randy.
Bye.
Bye.
