Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - The One Where Wells Goes to The Masters

Episode Date: April 12, 2023

This is it baby; this is the Masters episode. Boy oh boy, it was a beautiful time. Accompanied by a powerful score, Wells recounts the best experience of his life at the most magical place on Earth. He did find it quite difficult to get drunk off of just beer, but if you work at it all day, you can get there. It also rained and a tree fell on someone, but Wells had a great time. You’re not allowed to have your phone there, and your hosts discuss how, following the public outrage, people would probably enjoy sports and concerts more if phones were banned. Your hosts also dive into the latest in pop culture news: T-swift is single (self-sabotage for the art?) Millie Bobby Brown is engaged (apparently she is no longer 12 and we are ancient) and Love is Blind is diamond status content. Wells also has a few bones to pick with the Apple and App stores… conclusion? Everyone sucks. Except for the people who run the Masters, they’ve got it right.  Don’t forget to rate, review, and follow Your Favorite Podcast!

God, my voice is gone. That's what happens when you go to the masters. A tradition unlike any other. Yep, just got back from the masters. Maybe I should do this. Just do this. Just the masters theme. Welcome back, friends, to another episode of YFT where I talk to you about a tradition unlike any other. It was a long stroll down Magnolia Lane on that

fateful early April weekend. The magnolias were blooming. The rolling green hills of Augusta National were sparkling in the wind. And I and my wife were fucking wasted off of four dollar beers, $4 white wines. Our bellies were full of pimento cheese sandwiches and barbecue pork sandwiches that were only $1.50 or $3, depending on which one you chose. It was a magical day. And then the rain came.

And that part was not that great. It rained on us all Saturday. We were little poncho boys and girls just running around a swamp pit in northeast Georgia. And it was beautiful. Let me tell you what happened. We get to the course at 7.30 AM on Saturday. And I say, Sarah, we got to go to Amen Corner. And she says, what the fuck is that? And I said, don't worry about it. It's just a place in the course that they call Amen Corner. And it just is what it is.

So you can't run at Augusta. So we power walked. We got elbows out. We went full New York. And we were slicing through the crowd. We walked down 10. Get to 11. See that ridiculously long par 4,

520, big dogleg left, up and then down over a hill and gale to a tiny little green protected by a little lake on the left. Then the famous 12 par 3. Over the lake. Just a stone's throw from Hogan Bridge. And we were like four roads deep on 12.

And we sat there in ponchos. And we watched a bunch of people make bogeys on 11. And a bunch of people make birdies on 12. And it was amazing. But anyways, I digress. We'll do more of this. There's much more. But first, we need to

call the Brandi. Let's color up. It's time now. We're calling the Brandi. How you doing? I'm doing good. Yeah? Yeah. What about you? I'm doing great. I just got back from the Masters. Yeah. Boy, oh boy. Is it beautiful out there?

Everyone should try to go to the Masters one day. It's a tradition unlike any other. I saw a tree fall on some people. That's true. That did happen. And I don't think I need to go there. A tree did fall. There was a woman when the tree came like right at her and then it split, like the two trees split right around her and no one got hurt.

See? No, no, no. Yeah. Bad juju, bad juju at the Masters. No, good juju at the Masters. Sarah loved it and she's not like a golf lover and we had so much fun, except on, I was telling the wives here before I called you, on Saturday, it was downpour.

But so we spent the entire day on Saturday, just in the rain, just living the rain life. We were at ponchos, but boy, did we have fun. And then on Sunday, the skies parted. Sun came out. We danced around Augusta National with our $3

beers and our $1.50 pimento cheese sandwiches and just got wasted. It was great. I was going to say, you had to have been wasted if it was fun being in the pouring rain. Oh, yeah. They don't serve hard alcohol there. That's my least favorite thing about the Masters. It's only beer and wine.

Not even like White Claws or something. And so I was just drinking beer the entire time. So it's hard for me to get really drunk off of beer. But when you do it all day long, you can get there. Yeah. Jon Rahm won. He's the Spaniard he was sarah's second favorite player so that was good because we were cheering for rory mcelroy but he didn't make the cut so john rom did we did not want brooks kapka to win because he's on the live tour and we do not support the live tour um why not well because it's a saudi-backed tour. I see.

And obviously there's a lot of blood money and oil money and the way that they treat women and LGBTQ plus people over there is not great. It's actually quite horrifying. And then they've also killed journalists. It's just not a great...

Oh, there was this thing that happened a while ago called 9-11. So like they, you know, they were part of that. So yeah. And they're paying like all this money to like come steal all of our good players. And why do we let them do all these things? Well, the PGA is like super not about it. Can't they like ban them?

They did. But the majors are separate from like PGA tournaments. So the four majors, the Masters, the US Open, the British Open, and the PGA are independent of everything else. So they can invite whoever they want. And so, you know, the Masters is a tough one. And I also think the other ones too, like if you've won that tournament, you get invited back. You're a defending champion or whatnot. Everyone's's like i'm pro-capitalist and so they're they want because there's more money and that's capitalism it's like yeah but also you're the same people who

bitch and moan when like automotive companies are laying off folks because everything's going over to china and japan to be made and they're making cars out of there. It's killing Detroit and, you know, Pittsburgh and stuff. And it's the same thing. We're exporting a major good of ours, a huge global sport to a different country. We shouldn't be allowing that. That's my kind of take on it. Also, they're terrible. It's about their human rights stuff. So, you know, I can't parse that. But anyway, so Brooks did not win. And I'm happy about that. Great. Like John Rahm, he's a Spaniard. Spaniards are killing it. I mean, he is, I think the sixth Spaniard to win or something like that, but he's the first European to win both the US Open and the Masters. Really

proud of that. It was so much fun, Brandy. It was seriously, like I know, and if you like saw my Instagram post, I got like real kind of gushy about it because it's true. It was the most magical thing I've ever gotten to experience. It was so cool. And if you ever get a chance to go, go. Even if you don't like golf, it's insane how well that place is run. And so it's funny, Ben told me beforehand, because he's been with his dad and he was like, it's like Disneyland for adults. And when I heard that, I was like, oh yeah, okay. So it's like a magical place, but like there's alcohol and like golf and stuff. So like adults like it. No, it's Disneyland for adults because it's run exactly

like Disneyland. It is the most well-oiled machine. It's, you know, hundreds of thousands of people are on this course. Everyone's like trying to get beers. And the speed in which you get through concessions is insane. Everyone is so nice. Just like in Disneyland, it's like, have a magical day. You know, it's like, welcome to the masters. But here's my favorite thing about the masters. They don't allow you to bring phones on the course. What? I know that seems crazy and like really hard to kind of wrap your brain around. But one, it's nice, not so much for me, but for Sarah, who gets recognized a lot. When you're out in a very public place, you kind of get bogged down with like once one person figures out who you are and that people are taking pictures, then like a line kind of starts to form and it kind of, kind of slows you down. And then you become like this commodity

to people that they just want their picture and they want to get the fuck out of there. And that's a weird thing too, because you're trying to make a connection with people, but really only want the picture and then they want to leave. So for Sarah and for myself as well, like it was really, really wonderful because people would come up to us and be like, oh my God, I'm like, I'm a big fan of Modern Family or a big fan of The Bachelor, but you can't do the thing like, can I get a picture? You just sit there, no phones. So you sit there and you have a fucking conversation with people. And then it's just very normal. And everyone, everyone after that's like, wow, it's so weird how normal you are. And it's like, no, you don't understand. This is not normal

for us. And I wish it was normal for us. And I understand that's like kind of part of, I guess, the price you pay if you get in the entertainment industry. But it was so lovely. We had so many conversations with people and we had so many conversations with each other because you don't have your phone to like distract you. And you could see that the entire entire place everyone's having such a good time because it's such this amazing event and there's all these things you talk about you can talk about the sandwiches you can talk about the cheap beer concessions like talk about how amazing the course looks you can talk about who's playing you know where you come from like where are you staying

what days were you here and all that kind of stuff you have all these conversations to have and we like actually got to meet people and talk to people and everyone was so lovely. And I was like, I wish that more events were like that. Like take away like the whole, like not taking selfies with people. Cause that's like very maybe unrelatable thing, but that was something that was, that was like a kind of a bonus for us. But like forcing you to have actual conversations with people is so more fulfilling. And I also think like in terms of those people's like story about getting to meet Haley from Modern Family, the 13 minutes that Sarah spent talking with you about like where you're from and like what you're enjoying is better than I think the picture that you get to post on

Instagram. Yeah. And so I wish that more events were like that. And then it also like you're not as old as me, but I'm sure you remember like the days before cell phones, you just were like, okay, at one we're meeting over there,

you know, like this, we have a plan meet over there. If things go awry and we get split up are like meet up places over there and i know that seems like that would take longer because you're like tech you could text in exactly where you are but in a huge field like that or a huge golf course it actually is easier if you lose people and be like okay we got to go back up to the sign where we said and it makes it so much faster to like meet up with folks.

I mean, the only thing that I wish I did have was like a camera there to like kind of document more of the stuff. Yeah, you should have taken a disposable or something. You can't. You can't even have a disposable camera? No. Wow.

I know, it was bonkers. And it was so, and I was like, more events should be like this. Like you don't need to have your cell phone. It's true. At all. I feel like a lot of times we're so busy trying to document things that we don't enjoy it. So I agree.

I think it's genius. And full support of like changing every big event to this. Yeah. It was so cool. There's like a photo floating around and it's like a side by side of like an nba game and you know ones like before phones and the other ones like this year and everyone's fucking phone is in the air taking a photo of whoever's shooting yeah in the recent photo and then in the older one it's like everyone's like cheering and high-fiving each other and enjoying

the game and it's like wow that is literally what this has come to. So man, how crazy would it be if they like banned phones from concerts and sports games? Like that would be a game changer. I feel like everybody would actually enjoy it more. Yeah. I know that everyone would balk at like if there was legislation that was posed, but I'm telling you, if you just went to the masters and experienced a life with no phone for three days, and then also the weird thing of like when we got done i was like i don't need to look at my phone once you

get it taken away from you you kind of like lose that like yeah because it's all about feeling awkward right it's like when you feel awkward then you're like i'm gonna get my phone out and look you know but if you're forced to like look around and like people are like hi and then you're like hey what's up then you start having conversations then then when you get it back you're forced to like look around and like people are like, hi, and then you're like, Hey, what's up? And then you start having conversations. Then, then when you get it back, you're like, I don't need, I can still talk to everyone here. So anyways, it was so cool. Big fan of, of that event. Like it's such a well-oiled machine and obviously everyone wants a picture. So they have a thing where you go to work with a clubhouses and they have a professional photographer there and they take your picture and then they give you a qr code and so when you get back you can get that picture

the one thing that is crazy about it though because you don't have your phone you have no idea what's happening in the tournament like you're just you're just like watching you can either follow everyone you mean there's leaderboards everywhere, but people, because they don't have their phones, you're watching the scoreboard and they do it manually, right? Like there's a guy back there that's like changing the numbers. And so like when a number gets changed, everyone's like, oh,

because that's how you find out like what happened. That's funny. Which is like super old school. Yeah, it's cool though. And what's very cool because you can hear the roars and stuff so like you know if someone's done something special like far away from you so then you're like fuck what was that for like did tiger make a putt or like what hat like did you know did

john ron make a birdie and then everyone's like looking at the scoreboard and then it changed and then you could you figure out what happened and it's like the whole thing, I was saying it to Sarah, the whole thing is stuck in time. It's like stuck in the fifties and like, in like a, not a bad way and like a great way, like of what it, what sports used to be. Yeah. Anyways. I love that. Love that for you. Thank you. I know. I saw someone right on my Instagram post as Brandy would say, I saw someone write on my Instagram post, as Brandy would say, I love that for you. Yeah, I do. Yeah. How was your weekend? It was good. I did a little staycation here in Nashville down at the one hotel. It was my best

friend Kirsten's 30th birthday. So we celebrated all weekend, stayed down there at the hotel. It's brand new. It's so nice. Um, had a spa day, had a nice group dinner, um, enjoyed the rooftop there, had some drinks, you know, um, took Astra with me cause they're pet friendly, which is lovely. So yeah, I had a great weekend. Very chill. Very chill. Nice. All right. Should we, um, should we start the show? Yeah. All right. Is it me or you? I think it's you. Okay. I'm going to do this again.

Oh, good. I have a few things to talk about that's good okay where should we start well taylor swift is uh single again so did you see that it gets sound i mean is that what you wanted yeah are we shocked i was thinking about it and i was talking about it like bob dylan writes about this in his autobiography. Not to say that Bob Dylan and Taylor Swift are the same, but they're not that different. Bob Dylan talks about how he used his life's pain to be able to create a lot of amazing art. Of course. And then when you start getting positive affirmation for making yourself hurt, then it becomes not a thing of, well, I'm going to make a good thing out of a bad thing. It becomes, this is the only way I can make good things.

And I start to wonder if all of this stuff with Taylor, and it just seems like she so badly wants to be loved and happy and everything. But I wonder if it's a thing of she self-sabotages because she knows it makes great art for her. And that makes me sad, but it's also- I think a lot of people are like that. Absolutely. A lot of artists. Yes. So many brooding musicians are, yes. Because it's true. It's the sad, like we always say, we love sad bastard music. It's the sad music is what people connect with the most, which is kind of fucked up, but like, I'm right there with you. Like happy music just doesn't sell the same.

No. If you ever listened to some of your favorite songs and if they are pop songs and they're, and they're upbeat and happy and in major chords, but if you read the lyrics, they're very, very dark usually. And so you're still even identifying with the sadness in a happy song. Exactly. Well, Flowers is like that. It sounds kind of happy. It's upbeat. And it's positive in the sense of like, I can buy myself flowers, blah, blah, blah. But like the root of the song is sad.

It's like, it's just, it's the truth. Sad music sells the best. I know. And it's funny because you had that song, like, it's not you, it's me. I'm the problem. And it's like, yeah, I think that's probably true. Anyways, so I just hope that maybe she realizes,

she realizes that she can separate that. That was my whole takeaway from when I saw it. I was like, man, they were together for seven years. It's a long time. And who knows, maybe he just was like,

wouldn't pull the trigger or whatnot. But I do wonder if she self-sabotages to create art. That's just my thought. Yeah, fair. Other stuff in the news. Oh, okay. Big news guy today.

Big news guy today. Millie Bobby Brown? I know. Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, Millie, married now yes when the fuck did that time happen i don't know she is very young to be getting married okay thank thank you for saying that she is when i saw it my immediate reaction was okay okay yeah the kids the little kids are getting engaged before me like this is not great it's not great look for me i'll tell tell you that. No, she's very young, but I'm happy for her. I think she's such a doll, and she seems very happy. Yeah, I'm happy for her too.

I'm just terrified that kids that I still think of as in middle school are able to get married. Because if they're able to get married, how old does that make me? Exactly. I'm just going to start talking like erotic grandpa, because I think that's what I am. I'm just fucking old now with long, saggy balls. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Yikes. But speaking of the children, the kids, you know, falling in love and stuff, you probably haven't noticed, because you probably don't pay this much attention to young Nikki socials, but it looks like young Nikki has a love interest. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Who is it?

Is it some rapper named like Lil Blowjob or something? I will not reveal details, but that's how I'm going to feel if Noah ever gets married. No matter how old I am, I will still, it'll still make me feel ancient. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like she'll never I guess the right way to say that is like

even if she's 25 and gets engaged or 30 and gets engaged it'll still make me feel so much older and I'll still always look at her as like a little baby because she's my baby sister.

Yeah. Well is she happy? She seems very happy. Is the guy that she's dating I don't want to speak for but she seems very happy. Is the guy that she's dating does he have to speak for but she she seems very happy is the guy that she's dating does he have like a stupid i will say nothing like a stupid name i will say

nothing what was the last on her insta though she'll she'll post they're very stealth photos like very like not in your face at all but she's been posting some photos and they're very cute she just you know seems very happy and i i love that that for Noah. But Noah's the sad music girl. Yeah. You know? So I always am curious to know, like, it's just, I feel like this is the first time really since Noah's been doing music that she's been in a healthy relationship. Yeah.

So I'm curious to see how that reflects in her music, you know? All right. Well, that makes me very, very happy. Yeah. Get it, Novi. I think the first thing I really want to talk about today is Succession. Are you caught up? No.

I don't know what to tell you because I have to talk about it today. Maybe this is you need to not listen. Just wave at me when you're done. For everyone out there, all the YFJs out there that haven't caught up on Succession, what the fuck are you doing? I know Brandy's insane, but I didn't think you guys were. Buts that haven't caught up on Succession, what the fuck are you doing? Like, I know Brandy's insane,

but I didn't think you guys were. But if you haven't seen Succession, if you're not completely caught up, then yeah, I think that you should not listen to this. It'll be three minutes on the clock. All right, here we go. Holy shit. That was a fucking amazing episode.

I cannot get over the way they did that. Logan finally dies, which is so funny because last episode I was like, he's never going to die. What the fuck's going on? And of course the next episode he does die. But the way that they did that, where they never really show him die, you get a couple shots of them kind of working on his chest, but how it's really shot from the kid's perspective is so amazing. And God dang it, if this isn't Kiernan's Emmy episode, I don't know what is. I mean, that whole episode is about him. Yes, it's also about Kendall and Shiv and their experience with it, but it starts out with Logan making Romulus do something that he doesn't want to do, which is fire and effectively dump Jerry. And I want to, I hope they explain why he wanted

to do that, like what the moves were to do that, because I didn't really understand it, but I think it was more like to see if Rome was being loyal, which he was. And the way that they shot that whole scene, which is basically like one take. And if you watch like the behind the scenes afterwards, where they're talking about how it was just a 23 minute scene shot completely at one time while they were like redoing reels of film is so freaking bonkers. It feels that way. It feels like you're there with these kids and how they're dealing with it.

And it's interesting to see like everyone kind of breaks down. Kiernan's character breaks down. Kendall breaks down in his own way. And Shiv really does break down. Rome is feeling guilt because he thinks he has done this because he called and left that message for his dad about like, I can't believe you made me do this to Jerry. Like, are you a cunt?

Like, what's going on? And then, you know, Kendall takes action. He's like, all right, let's get my doctor. Let's get these doctors. So he's like kind of taking action and not really getting emotional. And Shiv kind of breaks down, but they have her be the one that does the press conference. So you're wondering who is the one who is, who's going to take over. And I do think, and I've been saying this since season one, Sarah and I have been talking about it. I do think that Rome should be the leader of this company. He's a dirt bag and that company is,

you know, it's supposed to be Fox news effectively. And I think you kind of need to be a dirt bag to be in charge of it, but he's extremely loyal. He's proven that time and time again. I think that he is smart and he's not like cringy like Kendall is. He's not like overly spiteful and angry like Shiv is. And Shiv's got so much going on with the Tom situation of it all, with her feelings with her dad. So I still am rooting for Rome to take over anyways the way that they killed him off was so beautiful I mean it made me feel bad for Brian Cox because he didn't have like this kind of like amazing last scene but he did in the last episode where he gets up on the paper boxes and is like we're gonna be fucking pirates I mean so that was like his I

didn't know that was his swan song but, I just thought beautiful the way that that was done. This show just continues to be fucking amazing. And Kierna Culkin, I think that you are in a sea of amazing actors. I think that you're the best. And I think you should win an Emmy. And I think that you should take over for the company. And that kind of all I have to say. Okay, I'll bring Brandy back in.

That was long. Are you loving the season? Yes. And like this last episode, like the episode beforehand, have you, did you catch up with the episode? I haven't started it at all. My mom acted like the season wasn't as good as the others.

Have you talked to her since? No, she only watched like episode one or two or something. Yeah, it's good. Okay. And this most recent episode is bonkers. Okay. And so well done. All right. Well, I'll catch up this week. Please, please do. Big succession guy. Big fan. Big fan. You got anything? Please tell me that you have seen some of jury duty. Yeah. We started watching it last night. It's so good. It's so good. And it's weird because TikTok was what kind of like tipped me off to it.

Because it's on Freebie, which is... I don't know what that is. Yeah. I mean, like it's an app that lives on Amazon. It's funny because it's where Sarah's show Squished is. You can access all of it. Watch it on Amazon. Yeah.

You can access it through Prime. Yeah. But if you haven't heard about what this show is, let me just give you the tag. It follows the workings of an American jury trial through the eyes of Ronald Gladden, a juror who is unaware the entire case is fake. Everyone except him is an actor, and everything that happens is carefully planned. Jury duty on freebie. Okay. It's too good.

It's amazing. This guy named Ronald Gladden, who ends up becoming the head juror, I guess. So he thinks he's doing a documentary about the ins and outs of being on, doing jury duty. But everyone's an actor but there's also james marston who is an actor but he's playing himself but he's acting but he's acting and he's coming across as such like a douchebag it's so but i'm surprised he took this role like this is kind of yeah it's risky it's very risky but i love it and like it's risky and like i'm sure the script i'm sure he was like oh

fuck i don't know i know because he played i don't think he's a i've met him before he's not like a real he's not a douchebag in real life but he comes across as this like very arrogant kind of douchey actor anyways the whole thing is so fucking funny i mean there's a guy who there's a there's a woman who can't like stay awake. So she like starts taking like weed gummies and stuff. He's got to like keep her awake. There's like everyone's in the first episode is like trying to get out of jury duty.

So one guy's like, how do I get out? He's like, well, there's this episode of Family Guy where Peter pretends to be racist and that's how he gets out. And so the guy does like the racist thing trying to get out of it. James Marsden calls paparazzi on himself to like get them to come down to the courtroom so he can be a distraction so he can get let out. He does it. It is so fantastic. Go watch jury duty on freebie a la prime. It's so funny. Yeah. I really

hope they do some sort of after show where they can actually all sit around and talk about it. I got to know what this guy's thinking now that he knows this is all fake. Yeah. I'm sure he's like, you guys should pay me more money. I'm the star of this thing. I had no idea. And I'm always so shocked at the fact that he doesn't laugh. Like if it were me, even if I thought it was real, I would not be able to keep a straight face with some of the shit that's been going on the guy with the crutches pants yeah like i'm sorry

i just would not be able to keep a straight face and the guy that wants to uh be become like a cybernetic organism like where he wants to like implant a camel camel pack into his body so he can always be drinking water and shit like how do you keep your how do you keep straight face like i couldn't do it i know it's so good like you're an idiot i so badly wish that that was me like i got this and i had no idea because it would be so funny because you can see i haven't seen the whole thing but you can see that there are times where he's like i think that this is like a reality show like Like, this is crazy. He starts to realize it. Yeah.

I mean, you have to. Yeah. What else you got? Have you seen Beef? No, what's that? Two people let a road rage incident burrow in their minds and slowly consume their every thought and action. Beef. It's Ali Wong, who's great.

And Steven Yu, who was in like Nope and like a bunch of stuff. And effectively, like it starts with them getting into like a road rage thing. And then it just like starts to spiral and like one tries to fuck with the other one. The other one starts fucking with the other one. And their lives kind of like disintegrating because of this. And it is absolutely fantastic. Okay. Where's that uh what is that on netflix go watch go watch beef on netflix cute yeah well speaking of netflix yeah i think i brought it up last week but hadn't started it the night agent yeah i binged it so fast freaking obsessed good

great show have you watched it no i haven't oh i mean it might not be your cup of tea but it's like it's like a political thriller you know oh this is the phone the phone never rings that rings yeah yeah it's like a like it's like a cross of like a designated survivor meets like a 24 meets like a little bit of a romance. Yeah. Wrapped up into it. And it's so good. After like, it took me like two episodes to get hooked. But once I was hooked, man, was I hooked.

Yeah. And it's very good. They leave it on like not a cliffhanger necessarily, but definitely open-ended. And I heard yesterday that they did renew for season two. So. Oh, nice. We love that. Great show.

Highly recommend. Love is Blind is blowing my mind. It's so good. Okay. So I just wanted to, just wanted to play like this one part and then like, get your thoughts on it. Okay. I can't love you because I'm attracted, dun. I just saw Josh. And there is some chemistry. So what was the talk about? It was him basically confessing his feelings. What are you saying to me right now?

I don't want to be with you anymore. And. You want to be with Josh? I will find that out. OK, Jackie. That is very hurtful. I'm just telling you, Marshall, that I just can't be with you.

I can't. I would like the ring back because I don't think that you deserve it. Because you should never have accepted my proposal. Well, I'm going to keep the ring because I accepted it because I wanted to marry you. Everything I told you in that pod was real.

She's lying. I don't even care. You can keep the ring. Every time you look at that thing, whatever you do with it, I want you to be reminded that you passed up on something great. Yes, Kate. Tell him. Okay.

I wanted to know what your thoughts are on that. Well, last week when I said that some of the women on this show are garbage. Yeah. Here's example A. This is what you're talking about. Sweet, sweet Marshall. I know. Sweet, sweet Marshall was at his tux fitting for their wedding.

I know. And she was making out at a lunch. Oh my god. But you know what? We've known that she's Trash. You know. Yeah. You said it. Not me. We've known this. Right? Like let's just go back to the scene where they're in the pool in Mexico and she's like trash

talking one of the girls on camera and he's in the pool next to her. He hears her talking shit about this girl that's supposed to be like not her friend but she's nice to her. He hears her talking shit about this girl that's supposed to be like, not her friend, but she's nice to her face. It's like that was red flag number one about the type of girl you're dating, right? It's like if she's doing that to someone, then she's probably doing it to you kind of thing.

But I just, Marshall just seems so freaking sweet. I'm not shocked by this, but like he clearly is. What do you think about the ring thing? Like my whole thing is like, do they even get to, like how does it work? Like on The Bachelor, right? You got to stay together for a while to keep the ring. Like do they not take them back if you don't get married?

Yeah, I don't know. Like that's the thing. Like I don't think he bought that ring. I think that my thought is, is that if he did buy that ring or that was like an heirloom of his families or something you need to give that back absolutely but i don't i guarantee you that there's got to be some incentive for these people to get engaged they have to at least buy them rings yeah i would assume so as well and i assume that there's a clause in the contract that says guess what no one's getting to keep that ring because you guys aren't together What are you fucking talking about? Right. But I just, I was just blown away at like, okay, so you committed to this man and then

you effectively cheated on him and then you told him that you didn't want to be with him, but then you still want to keep the ring? Like, what the, what? Do you just want the money? Like, are you just the worst person in the world i think yeah okay let's take this into the real world if you get engaged so the exact same scenario the guy gives the girl a ring the girl decides to cheat on you and and leave and the guy asks for it back you have to give that back right have to Have to. Okay. I mean, you should. You should. Yeah.

Yeah. That was not good. I did not like that part. No. Yeah. But anyways, good show. So good. I also, though, like we have to talk about how does Chelsea not see that Kwame is disgusted by her?

Yeah. Not only is it like a, oh, I don't know if this guy's really in love with me kind of thing. It's, uh, does this guy even like being around me? Like, to me, the scene of them shopping in Seattle, she's like trying on clothes and stuff. Like, I felt so awkward for them. Yeah. Like, it just seemed like he would have rather been anywhere else with anyone else. And it's like, how is a girl like, do you not like read that energy? And at the very least wonder like, hey, are we good? Yeah. Like, she doesn't even question like, how is a girl, like, do you not, like, read that energy and at the very least wonder, like, hey, are we good?

Like, she doesn't even question, like, are we good? Totally. It's insane. Yeah, I don't get it. Also, there were way too many women at her wedding that could have stepped up and said, hey, girl, we got to pick one. Statement necklace or statement earrings? Can't do both. Not especially, honestly, I wouldn't have done either

with that insane, with like not insane dress, but it was just, it was a lot going on. Yeah. Right? Like the dress was a lot. Just do a simple gold hoop

or something, you know, but like we can't do statement earring and statement necklace. No, no, no, no, no. Come on. Everyone knows that.

And everyone let her do it. They all let her do it. Yeah, because they don't want it to work out. Oh my God. This is so funny. 6 a.m. to noon, and I'm not crazy.

You're crazy for thinking it takes 24 hours, just like some dude in a cave did 300 years ago. My second day starts at noon and goes till 6 p.m. That's day two. And then the next day is 6 p.m. to midnight. What I've done now is I have changed and manipulated time. I now get 21 days a week. Stack that up over a month, I'm gonna kick your butt.

Stack it up over a year, you're toast. Stack it up over five years, my entire life is different than it would have been otherwise another white boy with a podcast another white boy with a podcast pronouns hell no another white boy with a podcast meal prep sports bet another white boy with a podcast my dog once licked my balls do you want to see the video it went viral oh god it's so funny what is that so it's just like this fucking meatball talking about like what is days like which is like meal prep waking up at 3 a.m to work out and it's just like you've you've seen this and you've heard this and even i am guilty of this too and talking about like cold plunging and shit

you know but it's so true it's like a lot of these people's complete personality and then the guy being like another white boy with the butt cast. Like it's just fucking the best. Hilarious. Did you see the thing about the Dalai Lama? No. You didn't see that? No, I didn't.

The Dalai Lama, the Tibetan's 87-year-old spiritual leader, apologized on Monday after footage showed him asking a young boy to quote-unquote suck my tongue at a public event. A video clip has been circulating that shows a recent meeting when a young boy asked His Holiness the Dalai Lama if he could give him a hug. That seems normal. It said a statement on the exiled leader's Twitter account, which has 19 million followers. His holiness wishes to apologize to the boy and his family, as well as many of the friends across the world, for the hurt this may have caused. The statement said the Dalai Lama leader often teases people when he meets them in an innocent and playful way, even in public and before cameras.

What the fuck are you talking about? That isn't teasing somebody. That's a sexual thing. I don't even suck on my wife's tongue. Okay, we're married. Yeah, this is definitely the first I've heard of this. The video, which has one million views on Twitter, also shows the Nobel Peace Laureate apparently giving the boy a peck on the lips

in the presence of an audience who are heard clapping and laughing while a man captures the moment on the phone when i saw first i was like there's no way this is real come on it's the dalai lama he's like the chosen one or whatever right no no no that's uh fucking weird dude and let me just ask you this is every religious leader like a complete fucking creep ball is that yeah it's starting to look that way isn't it it is like when they all get together are they like okay we're gonna make you a big deal but um are you the fucking creepiest guy in the world and they're like yeah i am like perfect that's what we needed that we gotta have that we gotta have a little creepiness if you're going to be the leader of any religion.

So. Guess so. I guess so. And you know what? The poor Mormons are just out here fucking soaking. You know, that's not even the worst thing. They're just fucking and not fucking. They're fucking and pretending it's not fucking, but it's fucking.

You know, they're just fucking, they're just fucking badly. And we're giving a bunch of shit. Let's not suck it on tongues. Ew. Just saying. I'm making a joke of this, but it's not funny at all. It's a little shit. Let's not suck it on tongues. Ew. Just saying. I'm making a joke of this, but it's not funny at all. It's a little boy.

It's fucking disgusting. What the fuck? Is he canceled now? Can a holy leader be canceled? I think they should. I think so. I think they should be, yeah. Right?

Anyways, fucking bonkers. By the way, I have a bone to pick. Okay. I'm going to go on a little bit of a rant here. Oh, I love a good rant. So my iPad stops charging the other day. Fine.

I go to the Apple store. I make a appointment with the Genius Bar. I go to said Apple store and I'm like, hey, my iPad won't charge. Relatively new in the past couple of years. It's a pro. so it's a nice one I know that and so he looks at my account and he's like yeah you know if

let me see if it can charge and then he's like okay it doesn't charge and he's like oh let me look at your account if this says AppleCare we'll just switch it out and I don't have AppleCare I don't know why I didn't have that but I should have I guess and he's like listen ah man so here's the deal like we can't fix it if we crack it open you know like there's a way that

we could like lose the motherboard and like the johnson rods won't connect anymore and like you know it could be very dangerous and we just can't do it you know so here's what i would suggest since you don't have apple care i was like i he's like i think that we should just you should just buy a new one and then you should recycle yours right here and then you know we'll see what happens oh you guys can't fix it like it just seems like it's a charging port that it just seems like you've swapped that puppy out and it seems like you're good. No, like, I don't know. He's like, no, we can't do it, you know? And I'm like, okay. So he's like, I'm going to hook you up, dude, because I love you. And I'm like, okay, I'm going to get you the student discount, which by the way, anyone can go, if you go all the way down to the

bottom of the Apple store and go to student and you go, that takes you to like basically the exact same thing, but it thinks you're a student and you get like 20% off. So there you go. Everyone could do it. This is what this guy told me. He's like, don't worry, I'm gonna get you the discount. Here's what you can get. And with the discount, it comes out to about $789. It's like a pretty good deal. And I'm like, yeah, I guess, I guess so. I don't, I don't fucking know. And he's like, okay. So, um, so I was like, ring it up, I guess, you know, I need an iPad. I'm traveling and I need to be able to watch it on the phone, on the, on the plane. He's like, okay. So, um, so I was like, ring it up, I guess, you know, I need an iPad. I'm traveling and I need to be able to watch it on the phone, on the, on the plane. He's like, okay, so can I take this one and can I go recycle it? And you know, it's like good for the environment. And I was like, you know what? No, I'm going to, I'm going to hold onto it. Like just, just in case

thinking I'm going to take it to like one of these computer fix it places and see what they did, what they say. And he's like, I don't know. I don't know, man. You can try it, but it's just probably not going to work out. And I was like, well, I'm going to try it. So I buy this thing. I walked a 14 steps over to Fix, which is right next door to the Apple store, to a lovely young, like, Ukrainian man. My iPad won't charge.

And like, they're saying like the Johnson rods won't connect and like the motherboard is going to fry. Like, so can you fix this? And he's like, yes, I fix, I fix. And I'm like, so how much is that gonna be? And he's like, $75. And I was like, $75? Absolutely, let's go do that.

Down payment to $33. I'm like, okay, great, here you go. Not 24 hours later, my friend Cesar from Fix calls me up and he's like, it's fixed. Come get it now. I go back over there for $75. He just replaced the part. And let me ask you

this, Apple. What the fuck were you going to do? I can tell you what you were going to do. One, you wanted me to buy a new fucking thing, which I did, but I returned because your boy is thrifty. What they were going to do is they were going to take this knowing full well it was fine other than a little port. They were going to fix it, and then they were going to resell it as refurbished.

Fuck you, man. Fix it. And you know what the worst part is? I have money, so I can just buy a fucking iPad or whatever. But someone else sat down right next to me same problem exact same problem and it was it was this little girl it was this little girl's ipad and it was this little mexican girl and her dad and you could tell like he works with his hands okay and maybe he has a ton of money or whatnot but the guy did the exact same thing to this family and they bought a fucking 800 thing because they said it couldn't charge it.

And I didn't, at the time, I didn't know to be like, hey, man, just fucking go to Fixit. Go see my buddy Cesar at Fixit. He will fucking do it for no money. And it's a fucking total scam, dude. Yeah. I mean, Apple just as a whole is a scam, unfortunately. Total fucking scam. It's one thing for me with this like little girl you know

her little ipad oh fuck man so anyways apple do better okay stop trying to scam people you bitch that's how they are apple though i know sad i get it yeah i get it hey every app that i've ever had stop asking me to rate it I don't want to do that Stop fucking doing that Do you know what when you do that It makes me want to give you less stars You know Fuck your app
