Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - The Montana Bermuda Triangle

Episode Date: August 26, 2020

Brandi has been hanging in Montana for the past week where time just moves slower and rivers don’t only flow in one direction, much to her surprise. Meanwhile, Wells has been consuming a lot of content, including potentially the best reality TV show ever made and the worst. Wells also has several important questions for Brand-eye this week, including: Do you have a porn computer? And, if your porn computer gets a virus, is it a sexually transmitted disease? The hosts also dive into some pop culture and music news, reveal why Wells is mad at one of Brandi’s fave musicians, and assess why Brandi is possibly the only person in the world who thinks being funny is a turn off (it’s OK though, Brandi, Wells is a monster who hates kittens).

Okay. You ready? Yeah. Okay. How are you doing? I've been better. Yeah. Yeah. For everyone out there wondering why we're coming at you with such a positive start to the show, your grandma passed? Yeah, she did. What did you call her? Like Nana? Mammy. Mammy. Yeah. Call her like Nana. Mammy. Mammy.

Yeah. I'm sorry. I really am. I know. It stinks. My mom and I are going to do like a little podcast about it this week to like, I don't know, talk about it a little more. But it was one of those things where like she's been like in and out of the hospital for certain things and like she's fallen a couple of times recently.

And so I think I think we all like didn't want to admit it but we kind of knew like she wasn't doing the best you know but it also wasn't one of those things where we like expected it to happen so it was just it was like a weird combination of like it was very sudden but also you know she's not been doing the greatest for the past year so it was just hard and I was in Montana when I found out I had like two days left of my trip and I was like going back and forth like, do I just leave? Like, but the service isn't till Monday. And where we stayed was like a three hour drive from the airport. And so it was just, it was just so tough. So I ended up staying one more

day in Montana and then flew out to LA to be with my family. So. Was it your mom's mom or your dad's mom? My mom's mom. Oh, how's Tish doing? Not great. Um, and that was like the biggest thing. It's like, you know, like the rush to come out here was more for my mom's sake than anything. But thankfully like Miley's here all the time. And so Miley, uh, has been staying with her at her house and, um, Noah's just down the street. So, and then Trace and I both flew in and I think just like having us around is definitely helping. But, um, yesterday was the service and it was just so hard. So how many grandparents do you have remaining?

Just one. My mom's, my dad's mom is the only one. Mamaw Ruthie is what we call her. And she lives in Tennessee on the farm. And she's doing good? Yeah, she's doing great. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how you bright side of the road, this thing.

And I feel horrible for you and your family. And I even was like, do you want me to do the podcast on myself? Like you don't, we really don't need to do this show. Nothing that I can say is going to make anything any better, but I really only knew two of my grandparents, my grandma,

she passed away a couple of years ago. My grandma, she passed away a couple years ago. My grandpa that I knew, he passed away long ago. So I mean, you're lucky because you had a lot more time with them than I think a lot of people. And that's still a blessing, I guess. I don't know how to silver lining this. No, you're right. Kind of the thing I've just been telling myself all week is that of all of us, I spent the most time with Mammy. My mom was so young when she had me. And so Mammy just had such a big part of raising both Trace and I specifically. And she's the one that like took me to all my horseback riding lessons and my piano lessons and my cheerleading and school and like everything. And then even into my adult life,

she moved out to California with my family. And then when I finally did make the move, I actually lived with her for like a year. And then I actually lived with her for another like six months, semi-recently, like right before I moved back to Tennessee, I moved in with her for a minute when I was trying to figure out what I was doing. And every time I come out here, I see her. And I just feel like I really like looking back on it, I really did get to spend so much time with her. And I'm so thankful for that. It was just hard with the pandemic.

No one's been able to see her since February. And so I think that's the hardest part is just the feeling like in the past six months, we didn't get to spend any time with her. And that's sad. But I'm trying not to like think too much about that and just think about the times I did get to spend with her and and just be thankful for that. It's crazy. Like she met Rye in August last year when he was over here. And so I'm just so glad she like got to meet Rye and she got to meet Astra in February. And I don't know, I just, I'm trying to like stay focused on the positive things that I can, can think about and remember. So, yeah, but I did

want to do the show. Just, I could use a little positivity Wells. Yeah. Don't worry. I gotcha. So I'm coming to the podcast this week for the same reason everybody does every week. Yeah. Jump on my back. I got this one. So weird. You know, I've been to more funerals than you have. And when someone passes away, especially someone close to you, it's always tough because selfishly you're sad because they're gone from your life, you know. But here's the thing. Death is a weird thing that everyone has to do and no one knows what the fuck happens and it's kind of like a fun adventure who knows you might be like riding unicorns and like rollerblading with brink i mean i don't know totally also do you like how the things that i thought would be heaven are riding a unicorn and

an old disney rollerblading movie it's a little strange, but I'm not going to question it. It's one of those things where you're just like, who knows what's going to happen? Obviously, life is so dope that like no one wants to die. Everyone's like holding on as long as possible because they don't know. But who knows? Maybe this one, this version of life sucks ass

in comparison to the next thing. And that's kind of exciting. I don't know. Yeah, totally. I agree with you you're right please give my condolences and my love to your family especially tish the dish because that's that's a tough thing yeah thanks welsy okay well let's just jump on into the show i think that's i think that's what we need to do i do too near you or noah noah. These are a few of my favorite things.

Oh. Should that be our theme song? Red drops on thin and then pretty. He just doesn't know the words, though. Snow bells and sleigh bells and whiskers on kittens. Brown paper packages tied up with strings. Wells hates kittens. These are a few of my favorite things.

Yes. My favorite thing about that intro is that you say wells hates kittens like i'm some monster you do no i don't like cats all right kittens are fine i'm also allergic to them i remember uh god her name was megan her last name. Like briefly dated this girl named Megan in college who was the most hot. And she had a cat and I was deathly allergic to the cat. I literally was like, I think you're so hot and I want to date you, but we can't do this because of this cat. And that's why we broke up. That's insane.

You should have persevered. My allergies could like withstand the barrage of dander for like the first couple hours. But then when we'd go to bed, we would, you know, hook up or whatever and then go to bed. And in the middle of night, I'd be like, I gotta go. And I would leave in the middle of the night to go back to my non-cat house so I could breathe again. And I'm sure that was just so horrible of a thing to do in the beginning of a relationship, but it's what happened. Wow. So I'm not proud of it, but this is what it is. Dish the dish is also allergic to cats. See, I've watched a lot of

stuff. I'm not surprised. I kind of want to hear Montana news. Yeah. I mean, you were taking some diamond status cont. Thanks. You were glamping again. Yes. You know, I love a good gl Yeah. I mean, you were taking some diamond status, Cont. Thanks. You were glamping again. Yes. You know I love a good glamp. I mean, who doesn't? Probably some people.

Well, I don't want to be friends with those people. So where were you? So I flew into Missoula. Uh-oh. My computer's doing a weird thing. It's popping up windows. Okay, so we flew into Missoula. You're watching too much porn.

No, I'm not. Uh-oh, it's doing it again. Uh-oh, a lot of Pornhub over there on Brandeis computer. Do you have a porn computer? No. Do you? No. My computer is low on memory.

Well, maybe that computer should be your porn computer. Oh, huh. Maybe, except I don't need a porn computer. I mean, I don't know. I think everyone should probably have a porn computer because you have your normal computers that you don't go look at porn at, and then you have the porn computer. I mean, I don't know. I think everyone should probably have a porn computer because you have your normal computers that like you don't go look at porn at. And then you have the porn computer that you're just like, you know what? This one's just going to be riddled with fucking a bunch of viruses and just so be it.

Do you consider a virus that your computer gets from a porn site a sexually transmitted disease? Is that an STD? Yes. I know, right? It is. It's kind of cool. Yeah.

Anyways, so you were telling me about Montana. Flew into Missoula, which is like in the middle of the western side of the state, I would say. And we drove like 30 minutes outside of Missoula and stayed at this like family ranch that's now like a, it feels weird to call it a hotel because it's a ranch like they kept calling it the ranch but anyway it's basically a hotel but it's cool it's like an all-inclusive place it is like 1500 acres and it was like this family that owns it it was their like home and and it was like a working ranch for the longest time and now they've turned it into like a lodge which is so cool and they have like their own lake and they own part of the river that runs through and they have a, like a fully working horse ranch. So like horseback riding, they have their own gun range. Like they had all these crazy activities.

And then I'm sure in the winter, there's even more different activities than just the summer stuff, but it was so fun. We stayed three nights. We did some horseback riding obviously. And then we spent a day on the lake doing like stand up paddleboard and kayaking and jet skis. And I actually had never tried stand up paddleboard. It's very hard, but I did. And it was super fun. This is what I'll say about Montana is like you get there and it just feels like everything is slower. I love Montana. It's beautiful up there. I like how you're like everything seems slower. Also, the world is just at a standstill right now. So is Montana going backwards in time? I don't know. Maybe because

sitting on that ranch, like I really was like, it was just crazy. It almost just feels like the world's in like slow motion out there. It's so cool. Yeah. And you know, they have like hardly any cases of coronavirus. So I feel like they're probably like one of the least affected places in the States. We didn't go into any stores or anything like that, obviously. So I don't know, like I'm sure people are wearing masks when you get into the towns, but we just stayed at this retreat. And what was super cool is because of coronavirus, they only allowed like one booking at a time at this place because normally it's only eight rooms. Like it's really small anyway. And so I guess they just didn't want people overlapping. So we had the entire place to ourselves. It was insane. It did not feel real. It was amazing. And then so we did that for three

nights and then we rented a car and drove three hours north to Glacier National Park. And that's where I did the glamping. So I've stayed at Under Canvas a couple of times. We stayed with Under Canvas in Glacier and originally had rented a RA for, you got upgraded to a Jeep Wrangler. And it was super cool. We only had like a day and a half in the park, but we made the freaking most of it. The first day we went into the park and did the hike at avalanche Lake, which is super sick, highly recommend. And then we came back to under canvas and spent time there. And then the next morning it was me and Kirsten and my friend, Rebecca, who's a photographer, Kirsten and I rented kayaks and we got up at eight in the morning to kayak from Lake McDonald, which is

the rainbow rock Lake, which is so beautiful down the, um, like middle fork river. We were going to, we kayaked like a five, I think it was like a seven mile trip. And I'd heard about this specific route from a friend because when you go to a national park or somewhere like this, it's so overwhelming to decide what to do because there's so many options. Like there are so many lakes here and so many rivers and so many places you can kayak and whitewater raft. And it was just so nice that I had, I had a friend that had been there and done something so I could do exactly what she did. And she was like, it's really straightforward. You'll have a great time, whatever. So we rent these kayaks.

We drop them into the lake, take our photos or whatever, and then we set off. And we get about like 15, 20 minutes down the river. Haven't seen a single soul, which is both so cool to think like, oh, we're alone. Like it's not crowded, but also so scary to think if something goes wrong, like you're completely alone in the freaking wilderness, like into the wild style. So we get down a little ways. And you know how rivers, like they only go one way.

Like the current only goes one direction. Like there's no like getting lost on a river or no question of which direction you go because you have to go with the current, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's what you think. Until you get to the Bermuda Triangle of the Middle Fork River, Kirsten and I, okay to the Bermuda triangle of the middle fork river,

Kirsten and I, okay. So there's like baby rapids on this river, which is cool. It's like enough to make you feel bad-ass, but like nothing too crazy. And the kayaks they give you are kind of like inflatable. So it's like a kayak raft combo. And so it's so fun. You like float down and then every so often you'll hit some rapids and you'll be like, you know, like take you. So this rapid, I remember seeing on the map of the river that there was a spot and almost like took a horseshoe, almost like a switchback in the river. And I could tell that's the part we were at. And the rapids kind of take you down into the corner and swoop us, we swooped us around the turn and we get around the turn and Kirsten

and I are both like, wait, this is a dead end. And I was like, yeah, where do we, where do we go through? There was like really tall grass on one side and then just like rocks on the other. And there had been a couple of low spots in the river because of no rain. And so I was like, yeah, where do we, where do we go through? There was like really tall grass on one side and then just like rocks on the other. And there had been a couple of low spots in the river because of no rain. And so I was like, man, maybe this is just really low here. And we just got to walk across these rocks and, and just like go across, you know, to get to the other side of whatever. So we get out of our kayaks, takes two of us to move one kayak and we're barefoot and the rocks are so sharp and we get out and we're taking our kayaks across the rocks and we get to the other side and the current is going back the direction we came from. Like we both stood there and we were like, wait a second, that's the way we just came from there. To both of us, it looked like that was not the right direction and that the right direction was the opposite of

the current. Our friend Rebecca was going to pick us up at this like drop off point, the direction we thought we were going. There's no cell reception. We're stuck out here on rocks. No bear spray and not a single person in sight. I don't know what to do. We can't go back to like McDonald. Rebecca won't know to get us there. We don't have cell reception.

Like, what are we going to do? And Kirsten was like, all right, maybe we have maybe there's just like this one section of the river where the rapids change direction. And we just got to get past it and they'll go. They'll go the right way. And I was like, was like that makes no sense and she's like I know but that's the direction we're supposed to go and I was like I know so we tried to pull our kayaks through the like going upstream wasn't happening and then we were so scared we're gonna get attacked by a bear because there's no one in sight and I was like okay we gotta just go with the current like I know it doesn't make sense and I know it seems like that's the wrong direction

and I know we just came from there, but we don't have another option. So we got in our kayaks and just floated with the current or whatever. And we got like five minutes down and we were like, okay, like, yeah, this looks different. But this makes no sense because we just came from here. We were in the Bermuda Triangle. It fucked with our sense of direction so hard. And I don't, we still both were like, I don't understand how that happened. Okay.

Well, do you want me to explain it to you? Yeah. Okay. So like not all rivers float directly down. Sometimes rivers float down. Or upstream. Well, then they run into a hill. And then, so then the water is diverted around the hill.

So then all of a sudden it's going the opposite way to go back around back down it's because that's what happened yes it's it is a switchback like it was nuts kirsten and i are both really good at directions we're both very outdoorsy like we're not stupid and we felt so dumb standing there like nothing made sense to us and it was so scary to feel like you were alone in the wilderness but anyway well i'm glad you didn't I'm glad you didn't die. Me too. So if you guys go to Glacier National Park and you want to float, like I highly recommend this. It was by far our favorite thing we did the whole trip. So if you're going to float from Lake McDonald to the Blankenship Bridge, that was the route we did.

It was awesome. And I would highly recommend it. But just be aware of the frickin' Bermuda Triangle of Glacier National Park. Because it is insane. For everyone out there, if you're kayaking or whitewater rafting or canoeing, just continue going the way the water is going because eventually it's going to go the way that you want it to go, which is the only way it can go, which is downhill. Anything else happen in Montana that was of note? Which is downhill.

Anything else happen in Montana that was of note? And then after we did that, everybody's top recommendation was driving the going to the sun road. Have you ever heard of that? No. So it's a road that goes from the west side of Glacier to the east side. And the part of it, like we couldn't go all the way because the east side was closed for some reason. But it was awesome. It was so cool in our Jeep too. But it was basically you get to drive all the way to the very top of the highest point of that road. It's called

Logan's pass. So we did this drive, we stopped along the way and took photos. Like the views are incredible. If you have longer than we had, you can stop and hike along the way, but we just absolutely loved it. And then there's a hike at the very top that we did. It was the hike to hidden Lake, which I would also highly recommend. And then we just came back down and spent the last night under canvas and then headed back. Very cool. I'm happy for you. And that's really awesome.

Thanks, Wells. For me, I haven't done anything. So I've been watching a lot of TV. And boy, oh boy, do I have some suggestions for you motherfuckers out there. Let's hear it. Got a couple reality TV shows that I think a lot of people are going to like. Yes. Huh. And listen, I'm actually a little late on this, but I'm going to go ahead and say something that might be controversial, but I think that this might be the greatest reality TV show ever made. That is quite the statement.

It is, considering I'm on a different one, and I probably should be saying that that's the best one, but no way, no how, no sir. Have you heard of Love on the Spectrum? No. Oh my God, Brandy. It's so amazing. It's a reality TV dating show where everyone on the show is on the autism spectrum and they all want to start dating and find love. It is so funny, so heartwarming, so entertaining. All the characters are different and fantastic in their own way. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll find out things about yourself you didn't know. It's amazing. And the thing about people that are on the autism spectrum that I really liked learning about was they're so honest with each other because they have a hard time like picking up on social cues and stuff. There is no bullshit with them.

Like there is no pretense. We lie to each other a lot to like people from feeling bad. But if you're not worried about making someone feel bad or that's something that doesn't really compute with you, you're always being so honest. And when it comes to dating and matters of the heart, it's probably the way you should be because things can get drawn out for so much longer because you're so nervous about hurting someone's feelings. And all these people on this show are just so blatantly honest that they're able to like move through relationships that they know aren't going to work for them. It's amazing. They all have things that there's a hard no for. Does that make sense?

Like a non-negotiable? Yes. This one guy, Mark, who I love. He's got the best smile. He's so funny. He's so chill. He fucking loves dinosaurs. He's all about fucking dinosaurs and paleontology.

And every date he takes people on is to the museum because he wants to tell everyone about fucking dinosaurs. And let me tell you my boy mark knows some shit about dinosaurs all right he's throwing knowledge out left and right and all the girls are on the date they said they are like he just knows so much about dinosaurs you know it's like a little intimidating and so the producer's like would you date someone that doesn't like dinosaurs and he's like nope hard pass absolutely not and i was like oh shit mark because you know what?

I don't know if I have those feelings. You know, like, I turned to Sarah and I was like, do you have any, like, non-negotiables with dating? And she's like, no, you can kind of, like, tolerate anything. Yeah, I know that's so weird. But you should have some things of hard pass. Oh, you don't like golf? You're out of here, you know? We should be more like this.

It's just the show is so good i'm telling you i think you would like it too because you like reality tv and it's like oh there's so many good characters you're like i just want you to find the person i know so anyways i don't know a lot of people have been talking about it so i'm a little late on it but like if you haven't heard of this or seen it go watch it so good okay so that was the best reality tv show that i've ever i've ever seen in my entire life now let's watch the worst now let's let's pivot to the worst okay i'm gonna tell you what you tell me this show is not called your least favorite thing well no but so i but so here's the thing sarah loves it i hate it but i think you know it's

like almost like a hate fucking you know you're doing it like in spite. Have you heard of selling Sunset? Yes. Okay. It's so bad. No. Have you seen it? No, I haven't. People rave about it. My fiance is obsessed with it. The guy from the Hills created, I think, and it's like the most Hills hillsy thing in the world. The premise is, is like these two short, really short brothers own a real estate agency in obviously Hollywood. Their entire stable of real estate agents and brokers are all just smoking hot chicks. That's all it is. It's the fucking hooters of real estate. And it is smart. I'm sure that the women that are working there are completely competent with their work and like they're making you see the commissions you're like fuck dude i need some tit job i need a platinum blonde this hair and i need to like lengthen my legs and i need to go

make this crazy amount of commission because these chicks are selling like you know like 30 million dollar houses and making just bank on it right oh yeah totally but it's also like the hills like everyone fucking hates each other and then it's everyone's just a bitch to one another which is actually quite interesting and funny here's my thing like are guys just that stupid yes i think what annoys me about this show is not that it's a bunch of hot chicks selling real estate it's that it's an indictment on the stupidity of my gender. Like we're so fucking idiotic that we're just like, yeah, look at the titties on that. Yes, I'll buy the house.

Here's a million dollars. You know, it's like, how stupid are you? And like, also, but like, isn't the wife coming along and being like, we are not using this real estate agency. You know, like this is absolutely not happening. But guys are just so stupid. And we'll just do anything because someone's pretty. Yeah, pretty much.

So anyways, but it's so good. It's so good, but so bad. Love on the Spectrum is a reality TV show that you watch and afterwards you feel better about yourself. And Selling Sunset is a show that you watch and you feel fucking horrible about yourself. That's good. You need that balance. Yeah, right?

Yeah. I do want to watch it. The other one that we started watching, it's bonkers. Okay, so it's called Three Wives, One Husband. Have you heard it? No, I haven't. Oh my God. It's about this Mormon polygamist tribe in Utah.

Like also, is polygamy legal in Utah? Like how is that not getting arrested? I thought like you're not supposed to do that. I know, but it's not in Utah. That's crazy to me. I know. That's crazy to me that that's totally legal there. It's just weird because it's just these guys

that are like uber religious in the mormon religion but then they're like but i'm gonna fuck a bunch of chicks you know and like they have like they have like 17 kids and you're just like oh my god stop stop what you're doing right now the women are like you guys must think we're crazy and we're like yes we think you're crazy. This is crazy. They get jealous of the other women, which is a natural thing, you know? And you're like, what did you think was going to happen, lady? It's like The Bachelor. Yes. It's like, you can't get upset.

This is what you signed up for. Yeah, totally. It's just crazy the way they justify. And also, apologies to any of our Mormon listeners, but I'm sorry this is just something that I can't get on board with. The whole premise is the reason why polygamy is right is because it's more God-like because I guess God would have a lot of wives. I don't know. And so the closer you can get to becoming like god the closer you are to being like in his love or something i don't know the way that they're describing you're just like

how is anyone buying what you're selling right now yeah that makes no sense to me i'm also like how are you affording this guy like what are you how are you able to afford. Yeah, or like multiple wives. Yeah. Just in general. Anyways, but it is fascinating. Three wives, one husband. Whoa. Utah. Get it together.

And what do you watch this on? I think it's on Netflix. I think all that's on Netflix. All right. I'll watch that. Have you ever watched Yellowstone? Did you ever watch it? It's my favorite show. I know, but I haven't watched it. I need to watch it. Is it like still going on or? I just watched the finale last night

and I am shooketh. Was it better than Ozark? It's just so different. But I, for me, it's up there with Ozark. Like I think it's completely the same status as Ozark. It's just so different. So I just watched the season finale last night of season three. And I've told people on social media, like, please don't ruin it for me because it came on, I think, like last week and I didn't get to watch it. I was like, please don't ruin it. I'm going to watch it. But everyone was like, your mind's going to be freaking blown.

Like they end it so crazy. And so I'm sitting there and I'm watching the episode last night and I'm like 45 minutes in and I'm like, this episode's not that crazy. Like, how is this the season finale? And what are the, how are they going to end this? Because this is just like not that crazy of an episode. In the last 60 seconds, so much shit goes down. And I am so, it's like, it was like a Game of Thrones style ending where they just leave you so incredibly upset that they've left it this way and that you have to wait so long to figure out what's freaking going to happen.

Oh, but it's so good. All right. I might start watching it. Might not. You have to. I might or might not. I don't know. It's so good.

Did you watch The Last Dance when it was on ESPN? Yes. I'm now just watching it on Netflix. It's amazing. Michael Jordan's amazing. Amazing. You're a big basketball fan. Do you consider Michael Jordan to be the greatest player of all time? Honestly, I think I do. I mean,

obviously there's a young generation that's like LeBron James is so much better than Michael Jordan. Well, I mean, the game is just so different now too than the way it was back then. So I almost feel like it's just like you can't even compare the two but yeah that is the argument for sure it's such a hard argument to have because lebron james's stature his physical build is so much it's unfair right off the bat whereas michael was like i mean yeah he was he was like six six but he was like thin and wiry you know built like kobe bryant and i think that's why like a lot of people are like michael and are the greatest because LeBron can move like those guys, but he's got 50 pounds on him. I don't know.

But anyways, it's fit. It's phenomenal. And I just feel bad for Scotty Pippen. Cause he's got fucked left and right. He was so good. Yeah. What the hell?

Also Dennis Rodman. I love, I love how he's such a players player. Oh yeah. Everyone who he ever played with is like he was the best. And then, you know, it's like the media who's like, he's crazy. All the players are like, OK, whatever. He's fucking amazing at pulling rebounds down so he can dye his hair whatever color he wants.

As long as he just rips rebounds down, just dominates the paint. I love that. And I like how he was just like sleeping with Madonna. You know? All right, Bran, listen, the truth of the matter is this. The world and our lives are just full of anxiety and stress right now. You don't even have to be like a politician,

which would be very stressful, or like an elite athlete. Every like normal, regular person is just trying to get through the day. And muscle pain and muscle tension is a real thing. And the one thing that I've found that helps with muscle tension and muscle pain, besides vodka, is my Theragun. I love my Theragun so much. It really is something that now that I have, I truly could not live without.

Yeah. It's a device that releases your deepest muscle tension using a scientifically calibrated combination of depth, speed, and power. And it's now as quiet as a toothbrush. Listen, I don't know what it does, but I do know on the golf course around hole 12, my back starts to tighten up and then I pull out that travel Theragun and then boom, I'm ready to take my brother's money, which is nice. I love using my Theragun before I go to sleep. I really do feel like it just like relaxes my muscles and helps me sleep better. And what's so great is that this all new Gen 4 Theragun is the quietest Theragun yet that they've made. And so I can even use it while I'm watching television

and it doesn't interrupt or anything. And so I get my Theragun session in right before bed. It soothes aching muscles. And I really think it improves circulation. It's just, it's so great.

And to, you know, help lighten the mood, we've been like poking fun at each other today. My mom and I were just talking about like all the things that I inherited from her. And one of them is really thin hair.

I think Miley and I today were both joking about our receding hairlines, which is like a joke, but not. I've noticed such a difference. I started taking NutraFull hair vitamins a couple months ago. I'm being really good about it. I'm taking them every day. And I actually have noticed that my hair is feeling much thicker. My mom commented on it. She was like, your hair looks so good. How come your hair is not as thin as mine? And I was like, well, it was. And then I started to do something about it. Our whole family is such big hair people. I think everyone knows my dad had hair down to his butt my entire childhood. And my mom's got a big weave of extensions. And right now, like we just love

hair. So it's super important to keep my hair healthy and strong, especially since I use heat on it to style it sometimes. And I feel like when I sleep on my side, I like make my hair thinner.

I think that you would like it, actually. You really have been cranking out the shows.

obsessed with. I think that you would like it. You really have been cranking out the shows. I have. Have you heard of Devs? No. It's Nick Offerman's most recent project. You remember Nick Offerman from Parks and Recreation. He's also married to Megan Mullally. He's absolutely hilarious. Now, he plays a straight man in this show. He's not funny at all, but he's an amazing, serious actor as well. A computer engineer investigates the secret development division in her company, which she believes is behind the disappearance of her boyfriend. Sounds good. Phenomenal. Nick Offerman plays Steve Jobs of this world.

It's a tech company that is into supercomputing. That's like their thing. It's about this couple who works for this company, which is like Apple, basically. In the first episode, the boyfriend gets invited to this secret section of the tech campus where they're working on this thing called devs. Then things just get crazy. People start dying. We start talking about being able to see into the future, being able to see into the past, the multiverse.

It starts to go in crazy sci-fi stuff and it's amazing and when like when you get to the end my thing was i was like i want this not to be all tied up in a bow at the end because i want a season two you know like i want another one of these devs it's on fx but we watched it on hulu so whatever but it sounds really good real good real good real good speaking of sci-fi yeah i'm loving axioms in oh yeah can you see it yeah yeah yeah loving i'm like like almost halfway through okay yeah it's good good it's i mean it's a fun read and yeah you know basically we talked about this a couple of episodes ago. But basically it's about a girl who gets to be friends with an alien.

Yeah, it's so sick. Surely they're going to make this a movie or something. Got to. Got to. Got to. It sounds like such a great Netflix thing or something. I know. Like, I love the way they describe the alien.

Like, it's weird because you can like you can picture it, but you also just can't. So cool. I love it so much. Good. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for sending it to me, Wells. Yeah, dude. Okay, favorite comedian of the day. Are you a Jim Gaffigan fan? Yeah, it's okay. You know, comedy is like, meh, but yeah.

Who doesn't like to laugh? My mom and I. We were just talking about this. That's so weird. Like, you know that like, that's not normal. I know.

That's a little sociopathy. I blame Tish. Yeah. All right. Anyways. Well, we were literally, we were making a pro and cons list.

Of laughter? Of laughter. No, no, making a pro and cons list. Of laughter? Of laughter. No, no, about my dad and my boyfriend. And we were just all sitting around doing this. It was hilarious. It was like a therapy exercise. And my mom was like, you know what, though? Your dad is hilarious and I don't even like funny.

Like, funny is not my thing. But your dad, he is funny. That was her pro. Wait, what was your pro for Ryan? He had a bunch. I had a lot of pros. Okay. Is he, is he funny? No, but that's not my thing. I don't really care about that. In fact, typically if a guy's trying to be funny, it's like a huge turnoff to me.'m like can you not hence why our first date did not go well wells because i was fucking hilarious uh-huh so you thought all right well here's jim gaffigan who i find very funny my wife had the baby at home we had all our babies at home just to make you feel uncomfortable people don't want to hear about home birth. They're like,

oh, you had your baby at home. Yeah, we were going to do that, but we wanted our baby to live. People always assume there was some laziness involved. You didn't feel like putting on pants We had our baby at home not in a field At home well, why would you have it in that German festive building where sick people congregate? Didn't your wife want to give birth in a gown someone died in yesterday? It's just the truth. Home birth is crazy, huh? It was all my wife's idea.

I don't even like cooking at home, you know? And it's wild, you know? There was so much screaming at one point, I actually woke up. What, did someone score a touchdown? Oh, you're score a touchdown? Oh, you're having another baby? Can you keep it down? I'm trying to get a tight 12 hours

in. I like Jim Gavigan. That was funny. Okay. I liked that. You want to do Hollywood buzz? Sure. Number one, the Nutty Professor is getting another remake, this time from the production company behind Scream 5. So this is the third iteration.

Jerry Lewis made it in 1963. No one's ever heard of that guy, but that's okay. And then, of course, Eddie Murphy did it in 1996. Are we over it? I mean, I was never into it to begin with. Were you? I liked Eddie Murphy's one. That was Hercules, Hercules, Hercules.

I think so. Who's going to do it? Kevin Hart? I do like Kevin Hart. Speaking of Kevin Hart, he revealed that he had the coronavirus around the same time Tom Hanks did, but couldn't say anything because he's, quote, more famous than I am, end quote. So you know what my family's been doing for entertainment? What?

My mom decided, I guess after spending a full like two hours with us, that she wants to stop cussing and be classier. And then Miley was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, me too. I want to be classier. No more cussing. Miley said this? Yeah, I know. And I was like, okay, well, like if we're going to do this, we need like, because we started like catching each other doing it. And I was like, all right, if we're going to do this, we need like a cussing jar.

Like, you know how people in the South do that or whatever. Yeah, of course. And you put like a quarter in, let's do a cussing jar. And then every time somebody says a cuss word, you got to put money in. And I think that the amount of money we put in should be based on income. Yeah. Which Miley did not like. Yeah.

And so we asked that, but we are putting in a quarter per cuss word. A quarter? Yeah, a quarter. Like a quarter of a million? They're racking up. They're racking up. So we have this piece of paper sitting in my mom's kitchen that just says cussings with columns for everyone. Trace, he's by far racking up the most. time he tells a story he racks up about 10 bucks and miley's not far behind and then you know i actually i was surprised at how many curse words i've thrown out i've got a few racked up wow because you never cuss on this podcast i know but when i get around my family it just comes out yeah my mother only has one what'd she say i think shit that's normally her favorite cuss word.

Yeah. Yeah. But it is so funny that we are actually, if somebody says one, we're all like, it's insane. I think that's fucking hilarious. I wonder how long it's going to last. I've been sitting here thinking this whole podcast

that if you were playing this game, I would have made at least 10 bucks off you. Oh, yeah. For sure. When I get worked up, I tend to say bad words. Yeah. So, well, that's what's going on with us. Every time one of us tell a story or get heated, they just start coming out like a freaking

quarter slot machine, just spitting them out. I think that's funny. And I want like an update. Oh, yeah. I'll take a picture of the list today. It's pretty insane. Yeah, I need that. All right, Brandy. So it was, I guess, a couple episodes back that we had Violet Benson from

Too Tired to Be Crazy on the show. And so I went back and I've been listening to a bunch of older episodes of her show. And I just got to say, it is one of my favorite things. It's such a good show. It's so funny. And also just like seeing her point of view on things is amazing. Yes. She also has really cool guests on. She has had Demi Burnett on. I know that they're friends, our girl from Bachelor in Paradise, and also some of the cast of Too Hot to Handle. So always really funny episodes, really fun guests. And I just love that Violet just kind of says whatever's on her mind, you know, not much of a filter, just a really refreshing honesty.

Listen, we're just trying to promote good shit and go check out Violet's podcast to search too tired to be crazy with Violet Benson on podcast one or on Apple podcast or Spotify or wherever the heck you get podcasts these days.

Which sister? Miley. Oh, cool. Don't say it like that. You've got multiple sisters that make music. Fire. That's what I'm saying. You know what's crazy?

What? Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run came out 45 years ago yesterday. That's crazy. And you know what, guys? Still a banger? This song will always bang. This was also one of my karaoke go-tos for a very long time. Really?

Yeah, I mean, let's just... I don't think I want to do it. Dude, The Boss? Have you ever seen The Boss live in concert? No, I haven't. Have you? Oh my God, yes. And I will say this. We were talking about this the other day. The greatest shows that you've ever seen in your entire life. And I know our demo skews younger. If you have some time, go listen to Bruce Springsteen. One, because Bruce Springsteen is like Bob Dylan. There are a couple of guys

that wrote every song ever. I didn't know Bruce Springsteen wrote that, that, that, that, that, that, that. All these big hits, he just wrote and was like, I don't know Bruce Springsteen wrote that, that, that, that, that, that, that. Like all these big hits. He just wrote and was like, I don't want it. Like same with Bob Dylan. But Bruce Springsteen, and I don't even know how old he is. It's got to be in his 60s or whatever. He's old.

Yeah. He gets up there. I went and saw him. He goes up and he plays for three and a half hours nonstop. And you're just like, Jesus, the boss. Just the best. That's crazy. That sounds like Paul McCartney when he plays.

He plays for so long. Yeah, he does. So funny, you bring up people named Paul because Paul Simon's Graceland was released on this date back in 1986. Do you have a favorite Graceland tune? I don't know. I have to look and see.

Something tells me you do. What's crazy is like, it's so funny to me how good this record was. Like all the songs that were on it, all the hits that were on it is just bonkers. Obviously, Graceland is the big hit, you know. But then like Diamonds in the Soles of Her

Shoes was on this record. You Can Call Me Al was on this record. Under African Skies was on this record. Homeless was on this record. Under African Skies was on this record. Homeless was on this record. That's like five radio hits just on one LP. Anyways. It's such a good one too.

Such good drive music. Right? When you get on a road trip, if this song doesn't get you fucking in it, you're just rolling down a window, arm out the window. Oh, man. Top down. Beef jerky.

Right between your legs. Drinking a slush. Maybe going to town on some fucking sunflower seeds. Ew. I want to go on a road trip so bad. That's what I just did. Jealousy. That was really fun.

We traded the sunflower seeds for gummy bears, though. And we just drank water the whole time because we're healthy and tried to stay hydrated. Oh, nice. Maybe a rock star thrown in there, some energy drink. Yeah. Do you have any Muzaks? Yeah. What do you got?

I know we've played a lot of Troye Sivan lately because he came out with that new EP. Oh, I'm mad at Troye Sivan right now. Oh, why? What did he do? Because remember I told you this story about how I had him write a country song? Yeah. Well, one of his followers found that clip and they cut it to make it seem like I didn't realize that Troye Sivan was gay. Because I was like, all right, so this is what we got to do.

The first thing we got to do when you're writing a country song is you got to say something to a girl to get her attention. I wanted the line to be like, hey girl. And then like, then we have to talk about getting into like our car or truck. And then we have to go somewhere, preferably like a levee or a lake or something. And then we start drinking, you know, I was like going through like how you write like kind of like a basic bitch country song. And so he was like, well, here's the thing. I want to say, hey boy. And I was like, Ooh, all right. It's already progressive. You know, like, and it was like, well, here's the thing. I want to say, hey, boy. And I was like, oh, all right. It's already progressive, you know, like and it was like I, of course, knew he was gay. And then he freaking wrote like, oh, my God, a live coming out or something. And then everyone thought that, like, I didn't know he was gay.

We're writing a country song together. It's not about his life or my life. We're just writing a country song. And so everyone came at me on Twitter saying that I was being insensitive. Recently? Yeah. And so someone cut it to on Twitter saying that I was being insensitive. Recently? Yeah. So someone cut it to make it look like I didn't do any research. Then he wrote, oh, my fucking God, a live coming out. And then I responded to that. I was like, rule number one of writing a country tune, never let the truth get in the way of a good song,

which is the truth about writing really any music. It's never really about you. And then everyone was like, oh, it's not cool to be gay, huh? And it's like, no, you fucking 12 year old kid. That's not what to be gay hon it's like no you fucking 12 year old kid that's not what i meant you're stupid so i'm mad at him he didn't come to my defense you know uh-huh well i'm a big fan so i was gonna have you play in a dream fine it reminds me a little bit of the war on drugs which is one of my favorite bands fine do it it's the war on drugs driving beat for sure uh-huh

can you come back wait i don't mean that no it's all just finna real now so far away but i still feel you everywhere i love him well i do too but i'm mad at him right now because that was a funny video and that song that we wrote slapped, yo. And then, whatever. You're insane. It's whatever. So, I'm bumming. We lost a really amazing songwriter this past week.

I don't know if you ever were a fan of Justin Townsend. Oh, I know who he is. Passed away. He's only two years older than me. And it's just so weird. Because I used to interview him so much back in the day. For those of you who don't know, Justin Townsend was this kind of like

real cool, like rockabilly folk artist in Nashville. He was always kind of like living under the shadow of his father, who's Steve Earle, who wrote like Copperhead Road that like people know. He was phenomenal in his own right.

And he passed away. So I thought we'd play some Harlem River river blues maybe I'm not gonna make a sound Sad pouring out for Justin Townsend. If you like that kind of like old timey folk Americana stuff, look into his stuff. He's got some amazing records out. Kids in the Street was a great fucking album. Single Mothers Absent Fathers was great. Oh, Midnight at the Movies was good too.

Oh, no. God, he had such good stuff. Real quick. Midnight at the Movies again. There's a girl named Martha that meets me here on saturday night oh man sucks she never says too much she just sits down beside me and puts her hand in my she's got a ton of weight anyways that's all i got like that one. Can you believe it's almost Christmas?

Dude, I can't. I just don't like it. Oh, the other thing I'm excited about. Sarah announced that she's going to be making a TV show called Yours, Mine, Paul's with Ty Burrell's production company. Ty played her dad on Modern Family. So that means, one, okay, first of all, this is going to come across as my second favorite person from modern family i'm sorry i'm gonna say it i'm gonna say it ty braille he's the fucking coolest dude i've ever met in my entire life hands down okay so all this means is i get

to hang out with ty braille more and that makes me so happy okay but i read the script it's really really good and so um at least someone going to make some money at some point. Yeah. Lucky you guys. Yeah. That's exciting. Congrats to Sarah. I know.

I say congrats. Well, please tell your family that I'm thinking of them and I'm sending good vibes and positiveness their way. Thanks, Wells. I'll tell everybody. Hopefully I wasn't too much of a downer this week, guys. No. It's weird because death is like the biggest part of life, you know? I know.

It's crazy. And everyone has to deal with it, you know? And I'm sure there's thousands of people listening to this podcast, hundreds of thousands of people because everyone listens to this podcast, that are probably dealing, you know, with loss as well. Yeah. And everyone's just been so great, like DMing and sending messages to not just me, but like my whole family.

And we just appreciate it so much. So I felt like I owed it to you guys to come on this week and just so you guys could kind of hear what's going on. And it actually like lifted my mood to get to do this podcast. So I'm thankful. Nice. All right. Well, I love you.

Love you, Wells. I can't believe I'm down the street from you and can't see you i know but you've been around a lot of people and i don't know no i i get it i told my mom i would feel so terrible yeah if somehow i got serious i mean i would never reveal it with myself so yeah you'd be in a lot of trouble come by and wave at you guys from the street through the window if you yeah if you if you want to come over for like a quarantine hang in the front yard, come on. Okay, love it. God, I love this song too.

This song, the lyrics in this song are so kind of fucked up. I've been singing for the lonely Hey, that's me and I want you only Don't turn me home again I just can't face myself alone again Don't run back inside, darling, you know Sing along with us, everybody. So you're scared and you're thinking that maybe we ain't that young anymore. You're lying right here.
