Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - There's Something About Mary's Xmas Tree
Episode Date: December 3, 2025Fresh off an all-day press marathon and his final hours in New York, Wells breaks down his Macy’s Day Parade livestream that pulled over a million views — and somehow, a million rage comm...ents. Turns out parade purists do not play. Brandi meanwhile basked in the holiday bliss by hitting friendsgiving, which side note, gets you out of hosting, cooking AND cleaning. Probably the best plan out there. Plenty of hot takes this week including which of the Stranger Things kids acting chops have improved and which…um…still need work. Brandi thinks the DWTS finale was a crime, Wells computer may have dementia, and a very slick Tiktok christmas tree got the wrong kind of decorations. Brandi is getting stoked for Cowboy Christmas, Stumble is the mockumentary you need to add to your queue, and if you fought with your Boomer uncle this Thanksgiving, just remember — you’ve got about four weeks before round two at Christmas.

All right, you guys, I feel like everyone's talking about colostrum, you know, in a world where, like, health is just so popular right now.
I feel like this word's getting thrown around a lot, but I am a big fan of it, mostly because it's just so easy to implement into my routine.
I have really fallen in love with cowboy colostrum.
Cowboy colostrum takes a primal whole body approach to wellness with natural clean and built to work with your body, not against it.
Colostrum is often called liquid gold.
It's the first nutrition we get at birth.
It's packed with immune factors, growth compounds, and nutrients that your body still craves today.
And especially during seasonal changes, like right now, obviously I'm sick from it.
Your body's defenses can be run down.
That's me.
Those immune factors make all the difference.
So I just started putting it in my smoothies every day.
If you guys aren't big on smoothies, you can also mix it into your coffee or even just your milk.
I think my gut is messed up.
And I'm about to do a gut test to prove that.
Colostrum was one of the first things, like, recommended to me for gut health.
So I'm really excited to implement this into my routine.
For a limited time, our listeners get 25% off your entire order.
Just head to Cowboy Colostrum.com and use code YFT at checkout.
That's 25% off when you use code YFT at cowboy colostrum.com.
After you purchase, they are going to ask you where you heard about them.
Please tell them you heard it from us and support our show.

pounds like i did and i hope that you got into a fight with your boomer uncle about politics
that's what i hope because that's what america is that and bourbon which i have right here
What do you say?
Well, let's call the Brandi.
Bing pong, boom, dinga-linga-ding-a-ding-tong.
Hi.
Hi.
How's I going?
Oh, it's going good.
How are you doing?
Oh, I'm good.
It was so much going on today.
What's going on?
What do you got going on?
Well, the problem is, it's like a weekend, but on steroids where, like, nobody's worked for days,
and now today's the first day back, and it's just chaos.
God.
So now everyone wants you to respond to.
things and you've been ready to respond, but they've been
hanging out with their family. Correct. Yeah. So they're
pieces of garbage and you're not. Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. I get it. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, that. Also,
do you want to hear some exclusive news? Yeah, you may be cut this? No.
Okay, give it to me. I actually do have some news that you would have to cut.
Okay. Well, give me the news.
I can't keep up with what I've told people these days.
Okay, the news you don't have to cut is Matt and I are building a house.
Where?
Why?
You live in a giant mansion now.
I do.
It's actually way too big for me, for us.
We don't need this house.
Yes, but if you guys have kids, it'll be perfect.
You know my stance on kids.
Where are you?
Why?
Well, okay, so this property that I live on is gigantic.
You're bringing a house on the property.
Correct. I'm downsizing.
What's going to happen to the house that you're living in now?
I'm not sure, but I think my mom still will come visit and this, you know, she's got the basement.
Hold on, hold on.
Let me understand this.
My sister might come visit.
You're going to build another house to leave a bigger house unaccompanied.
Yes.
Okay.
Continue.
Someone will be here all the time, you know, like between.
All of my five siblings and my mother, I just feel like there will be people with this house.
Is this Trace's new house?
Is this what's happening?
You know what?
I wish Trace would move in.
That'd be fun, but probably not.
He loves being downtown.
I don't know what's going to happen with this house, but you know what's going to be so nice?
It's like, my mother's coming in town in January.
She did this last year.
And I love her so much.
I do.
But when she comes, it's not just her.
It's Dom.
And it's her assistant.
And it's her other assistant.
a whole bunch of people in my house.
It's just going to be really nice to have a two-bedroom house.
And if somebody wants to come stay with me, I'm going to, oh, sorry, no room.
I have no room because you know who gets the second bedroom at my house?
Who?
The dogs.
Okay.
Let me just see if I can understand.
So you're building a house to not house anybody.
Correct.
Just me and Matt and the dogs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because that's what I like.
Just a little love shack.
Correct, you know.
Love shack, baby.
So it's going to be quite the project. Matt is going to G-C it, which is great because he needs something to keep himself busy. General contract. Like he's going to be the contractor. Is he qualified to do that? He is. He did his entire house in Australia. And it's nice. Okay. Really nice. And he has a best friend here that's also a general contractor. And so I think between the two of them, they're going to do it. And it's going to be great. Matt needs something to do while we figure out his visa stuff. And the only bummer is.
Today was day one, and it is a cool 38 degrees outside.
Yeah.
And when we woke up, it was 22 degrees.
Wouldn't want to be them.
It's winter time.
Yep.
Oh, they're out there working is what you're saying.
Oh, yeah.
What are they doing?
What can they possibly be doing?
Are they laying a foundation?
Surely you don't have plans.
They're clearing land.
Ah.
Clearing land.
That's the first step.
Who's paying for this?
Me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm paying, but Matt's putting in the.
the labor.
Well, good luck building your love shed.
You won't catch me out there cutting down trees, you know?
You just won't.
As you shouldn't.
No.
It's not a job for me.
No.
That's not what the money does.
The money stands on top the tractor and says, that thing.
Do that.
I sit in the heated can am.
Yes.
And say, do that.
Yes.
Good for you.
I wish you luck on your future endeavors of building a new house.
Thank you.
Even though you have a gigantic house that you're just going to abandon for a smaller house.
Yes, I am.
Yep.
Well, God.
This is house is too big for me to clean and I got to go.
The other thing is like, Matt and I love the idea that we're going to like just have this fresh new place that's ours, you know?
Okay, I understand that.
Isn't that going to be lovely?
Yeah.
That we build ourselves, aka he's doing it, and pick out everything ourselves together.
And we're just really excited about that.
Well, good.
I'm excited for you.
I'm excited to see what the – do you have an architect?
Do you have plans?
How is this working?
The plans are still in progress.
We're on round three of edits on the blueprints.
So once we get him –
Have you used AI?
I feel like AI could do that.
Maybe.
We have a little bit.
I mean, we're working with somebody, and he's really good.
But, like, we're just asking for kind of weird things.
Like, who would put dogs in the second bedroom?
Like, we're just being weird about things, I think.
My closet is, like, going to be 19 foot by 16 foot.
It's going to be gigantic.
That's not that big.
I don't feel like.
Oh, see, that's huge.
Like a bedroom normally is like 12 by 14, you know?
Oh, oh, nice.
So like 16 by 19 closet seems a little insane to your average person, but to me, it sounds like a dream come true.
To the brand eye?
That seems fucking totally normal.
It seems, honestly, it seems like a necessity, if you ask me.
It seems like something that Elvis Presley would have, which means you need to have it.
Correct.
The Dolly Parton?
You need a Dolly Parton changing room.
Yes, I do.
Closet.
Well, that's amazing.
So, yeah.
So we're going to eventually, when real things start happening, I think we're going to, like, try to document the journey and post about it and, like, the, you know, like the whole, just the whole lot of it.
It'll be really interesting to see how Matt and I's relationship fares after all this is over, you know?
I mean, I'm rooting for you guys, but I don't know if it's going to last.
This morning already was a doozy.
You know, Chip and Joanna Gaines are still together, which is surprising, but...
It is surprising.
What was the one that was like...
Oh, what about that blonde chick?
Yeah, the blonde chick and the handsome guy was like, they broke up.
They broke up. 100%.
I saw him in an elevator in Vegas once.
Really?
He looked unwell.
Anyone in Vegas is unwell.
I don't know why anyone goes to that place.
That is a hellscape that no one should ever go to.
Well, I go there because I get paid.
You get, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
You should go work there, but people that go there for fun, what?
What are you doing?
Okay, so tell me everything that happened for Thanksgiving.
Oh, I mean, it wasn't that exciting.
I was not with my family, so, yes.
What did you guys do?
Oh, we stayed home here and took care of the farm, which was fun.
The weather was actually gorgeous, so it was really nice day to be outside.
And then we went to my friend Gabby's house, and her family was there, but it was also some friends.
So it was like a little bit of a friends giving to.
And, you know, there's just nothing better than not cooking, not cleaning, and drinking someone else's alcohol on Thanksgiving.
Did you bring the peanut butter booze?
I brought that last year.
So I thought it would be weird to bring it two years in a row.
And last year, boy, boy, it was just the creme de la creme of Thanksgiving.
Everyone just, nobody had known about it.
Everyone loved it.
So this year, I just brought, like, a couple nice bottles of white wine.
I think they were a sansaire.
I'm not a big wine girl, but is that how you say that?
Sanssere.
Sure.
Someone's higher.
I don't know.
So it was nice, and I didn't have to lift a finger, which I loved, and now we're building the house.
Which you don't have to lift a finger for either.
True.
You're not lifting a lot of fingers.
You know what?
I played my cards, right?
What can I say?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
For Thanksgiving for me.
You worked your ass off.
I did a job that did not need to be done.
Oh, really?
This is what.
Sarah definitely worked her.
Sarah sounded fucking amazing.
So good, right?
So good.
She crushed.
If she's such a tiny little human, she just has such a big voice.
I know.
She's so freaking talented.
And if you haven't seen that video, I'm sure it's on her Instagram page.
So she performed, it was a medley of different songs from Just in Time.
She was at the end of the parade, Thanksgiving Day parade.
I was at the beginning of it.
Okay.
And so I was hosting the live stream for NBA.
right which is which is also where it's being televised on TV so cool gig you know why not I go
there I'm at the beginning of the parade what time did you have to get there like not it wasn't
actually too bad because the parade started at 830 so I needed to be there at 730 that's not horrible
and so I had I left here at 7 to walk up I'd go to 76 3 7th and uh Columbus avenue we were on the
west side of the park anyways I see so
I get there, they're like, okay, these are things you got to do.
And I had to hold a, you know, I had like this Starbucks ad I was doing.
So I was like holding a Starbucks.
All this stuff I had to do.
And I'm doing it.
And then I, you know, I have like some bits or whatever.
And then I go and I start reading the live chat.
Everyone's like, get the guy out of the shot.
We want to watch the parade.
Stop this guy.
And I was like, oh, okay.
So then I kept on like doing, if you guys aren't,
watching this you can't see it but i was like okay so and then this is snoopies coming up next so i wasn't
in the show because i don't want to like ruin people's experience of it you know anyways at the end of it
so they're safe to say like you probably won't get asked back or well i don't know like it crushed so
many thousands of people watched it and like we got over a million likes in like 20 minutes when i was
like this is crazy but at the end i was like i don't think that you guys needed me i think you could
to just press play and people would have been bummed about it.
What about some audio commentary?
That's what I was doing.
People were like, shut this kid up.
They didn't even want to hear you?
Not really.
I don't know.
I had a great time.
And I hope they invite me back and I loved it.
But I was sitting there being like, but it's also funny because this is the new way of how people are watching experience and things.
What I realize is that people are waking up.
They're opening up their phone.
They're going to TikTok.
They're going, oh, the parade's on.
They're turning on the parade.
The parade's happening at a different place.
It's happening at 34th Street.
I'm at 76th Street.
So they're seeing both sides of it.
And they're experiencing it like in a whole new way.
And I was like, this is wild.
This is how you guys now experience just live events.
That is crazy.
And then we went to Sarah's family's place in the East Village.
It had a lovely time.
And I drank multiple martinis, which is great.
And ate turkey.
And I made my amazing.
amazing broccoli casserole.
That was it.
It was a great Thanksgiving, and I'm very thankful.
Did you have a hangover?
Yes.
Yes, I did.
And the next day, my Ole Miss Rebels played.
Oh.
The Egg Bowl, which we had to play every year around Thanksgiving, where Old Miss plays Mississippi State.
Anyways, we beat them, which means we're now in the national championship playoff, which is great.
And then the next day, our coach left our school.
So Lane Kiffin is a piece of garbage
Oh
He's a dirt bag
The biggest dirt bags of all the dirt bags
Lane Kiffin is
Wow
But Lisa is consistent
He's always been a dirt bag
And he continues to be a dirt bag
So he left us and he went to LSU
Our biggest rival
Or a second biggest rival
Who's the biggest?
We now Mississippi State
In state
I would much rather us beat LSU
than Mississippi State
I don't really care about Mississippi State
I mean, if you're really asking about Ole Miss, I've been so angry at this one person on Twitter and on Instagram that it's not healthy.
And I think I need to deal with it with a therapist.
Wow.
I've been like rage tweeting.
And then also what's funny is that today I had to go do like a bunch of press for Sweet Empire.
And I did like a bunch of interviews with ESPN and they're like, so we know you're an old Miss fan.
And I was just like went in on them.
I did this.
It was like two girls that worked for ESPN doing this interview.
And they were like, okay, let's get on to the next thing.
This isn't funny.
So anyways, I'm very sad.
Wow.
Hotty-ta-Toddy.
It's our greatest football season ever.
And our coach leaves us before the playoff start.
I mean, is there a world where a better coach comes in?
No.
Oh.
I don't think so.
But we don't get to have nice things as old Miss fans.
We don't.
You know?
We're like Jets fans.
We don't get to have nice things.
None of this means anything to me.
Anything to you.
I know.

Yeah.

Do it. Wells, I think you and the wife's ears know me well enough by now to know that I really love sleeping.
Well, who doesn't?
I say some people don't love this as much as me, but I really love it and I really need it.
And I prioritize my quality of sleep very much to the extent that I have to have really nice, really cozy pajamas to sleep in.
Okay. What do you sleep in?
That's the standard. These days, I am sleeping in my skim's pajamas.

Have you watched the first four episodes of Stranger Things?
No, I have not.
Oh.
Heart broken.
Call me crazy.
Listen, I watched the previous season, but like, I feel like we've, like, has it run its course?
No.
This is the last season.
We all know.
It's run its course.
It'll run its course.
I just like haven't felt like the need to watch another season, you know?
What is wrong with you?
I'm not sure.
Who hurt you in your?
In my defense.
Matt only watched season one.
Okay.
go watch the other four seasons.
I did better than him, at least.
Can I have a little credit?
No.
So I can just talk freely about it.
I'm going to watch it.
No, I don't know if you are.
I am.
Is it going to be like, what's the thing that you just started watching recently?
The last of us.
Yeah.
Which I haven't finished, by the way.
Okay, great.
Or I was like, I told, you didn't allow me to talk about something because you were like,
well, I'm going to watch it in three years.
And then it should be awkward on the podcast.
Okay, would you like me to take my earplugs out
and say you get earphones out so you can tell the work of.
But I would just like to talk about
Stranger Things and what's happening.
Okay. Where did we leave off at the end of
Season 4, would you say?
I don't even know.
A lot of stuff's happened.
Someone's calling you, I think.
You know what?
Let me tell you guys something.
Tell me something.
Really quick before we dive into Stranger Things.
You know those tools online where you go
and you compare car insurance?
quotes. Yeah, you should never use those. Don't do that. I've gotten 8,000 phone calls today.
Why are you comparing insurance quotes? Because I got a new car. Okay. But why are you comparing,
just use whatever you. No, no, because if you just stick with your same company and renew it every
six months, they jack up the price every fucking six months. So at least, at least once a year,
if not every six months, I just switch. And then I keep my rate and I never gets higher.
Yeah. But you know what you're.
how they get you is that then all of a sudden they're calling you all the time and you know it's
worth it to me you can raise my rate if you never call me yeah see i just put it on do not disturb
and solve my problem anyway continue okay hawkings in indiana stranger things season five
the first episode maybe the second episode too is like there's lots lots happening all right
and also why aren't you kids just working with the military i mean i get it they're kind of
against what you're trying to do.
But, like, it seems like you guys should be trying to work together.
Also, some kids are really good actors.
They got better as the seasons went.
And some kids, they didn't try to hone in their craft.
And I'm going to let you guys decide who those people are.
Some are great.
I'll tell you who I think is great.
And I'll tell you who I think is not great.
No, I won't tell you who I think is not great.
Why not?
Because I think it's just mean.
They're kids still.
even though they're like in their 20s.
It's called the truth.
Yeah.
Well, I will say Steve, fantastic.
Oh, I've always liked Steve.
Steve's great.
And then the Maya Hawk girl, chef's kiss.
She's so good.
I've always liked her.
She's fantastic.
This whole thing of like nepotism, I don't care.
I don't care about nepotism.
If.
I definitely don't.
And that chick is awesome.
She's so good at acting.
She is good.
She is a shit where your parents do.
I mean,
Ethan Hawks, a pretty great actor, but she's almost as good as them.
How come, like, kids whose parents were doctors don't get the same kind of shit about?
Dude, I had this, I had this argument with you recently of, like, if you, if your Italian family owns an Italian restaurant and you work in the Italian restaurant, it's what you know.
It's what you learned, it grew up doing.
Yeah.
It makes sense.
Now, I understand people are being, like, a little bitter because they can't break in.
Like, have you been doing it since you've got a kid?
Those two actors, fantastic.
I will say this.
We're halfway through the last season of this.
I think the last four episodes comes out sometime next year.
Next year.
We got less than a month left, sister.
Well, I'm just going to wait then and watch it when it's all out.
You could watch every episode that you've missed every day and still probably have time
to spare before the new season comes out.
Wait a what do you mean?
You have so many episodes to catch up on.
No, I'm caught up.
Oh.
Matt's not caught up.
Matt's not.
Okay, yeah, yeah.
The way it ends, fantastic.
Chef's Kiss.
And I never do this.
I mean, I sometimes do it, but I very rarely do it.
At the end of the season or at end of the episode, the last episode,
I clapped.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
I loved it.
I won't ruin anything for you, but I loved everything about it.
Stranger Things.
Go check it out.
Okay.
How about you?
You got some favorite things?
I also watched something pretty fantastic.
Give it to me.
The new Frankenstein movie on Netflix.
Yeah, I talked about this four episodes ago, but tell me all about Jacob Lorty.
He how, what are you, what do they, they, Netflix movies can't be nominated for Oscars, right?
Like, what is it Golden Gloves?
Oh, they can be.
Yes.
He has to win it.
He's not going to win it.
He has to win something.
He was so fucking good.
He's great.
Oscar Isaac's great in that, too.
He is great in that too.
They're all great.
I just, listen, it was a little gory for me at times.
It's very long.
I do think it could have been shortened.
Some things I didn't need to see.
Sometimes I closed my eyes.
But overall, so good.
And, like, I would have just never in a million years thought I would enjoy a Frankenstein movie or a Frankenstein story.
They did do such a good job.
Is it just me or was Elizabeth a complete?
freak yeah i agree with that that was the one thing i just couldn't get past i'm like why is she
such a freak you know what i loved about that movie tell me i loved that i said this in an older
episode but we got the origin story of it i'm sure everyone's heard this but like frankenstein's
monster isn't the monster it's dr frankenstein is the monster right but you're like but why are you
such a piece of garbage like you know like what what happened and then getting to see you know
past trauma from his father all this stuff and it's just like oh i love i love that part of it
and then i loved it starts at the end you know like lots of anyways i thought it was fantastic
yeah really really good to me like the the saddest part of all of it was that technically he
kills his own brother because he created this thing that then kills his brother yeah
That was sad.
Great film, though.
Mm-hmm.
Really good.
But he's not going to win.
Well, he would be best, he would be supporting.
Yeah, he would.
Maybe.
I just don't, I think that Sean Penn's going to win best supporting.
Mm, four.
One battle after another.
What's that?
It's the Leonardo DiCaprio film, the Paul Thomas Anderson.
Ew.
Which is fantastic.
If I've ever given you a suggestion for Matt to like it.
Oh, I'm going to say, for me.
Matt will love this film.
Well, I like it at all.
Yeah. I, I, yes. I think you will. Okay. I mean, Leo's very funny in this, but I don't think Leo will win best actor for this, even though he is really good. But Sean Penn's amazing. Okay. I think who's going to win best actor is, I told you about train dreams last week. Yeah, I know you loved that. I think that Joel Egerton's going to win best actor. Wow. And I honestly think it's going to be a runaway. Wow.
I made Sarah watch it last night
And she was like
I fell asleep
Because I met my 40s
But she woke up this morning
And she was like
So I finished it
And I was like what did you think
And she was like
It's beautiful
And I was like I told you
Honestly
You had Matt should watch that too
Here's the thing
I want you to watch it
To tell me if you liked it or not
Yeah okay
I mean
So I understand your sensibility
It's the cinematography
It's beautiful
And it's Pacific Northwest
So it's the setting's amazing
I really would like you to watch that
Okay. We have quite a few things to watch right now.
What else is on the list?
We, like, watched, like, one or two episodes of Pluribus and haven't continued.
I'm all cut up. I love that show. I think it's so good.
We have tried twice now to watch. I think it's the very last episode. There might be one more.
But have you, did you continue watching the last frontier?
No. No. I stopped.
Episode seven was, I was starting to be like, this is kind of losing me.
And now we're at episode eight. And we have tried to watch it twice.
couldn't make it through either time. Like, I fell asleep the first time and the second time.
Literally, I was just losing interest. Like, I just, they're not in Alaska anymore. It's,
it's the whole fucking redhead show and the guy. And I, it's just losing me. And this makes me so
sad because I loved the first half of that season. So we're trying to finish that. I don't know
if I've talked about this yet. I did start the new season of Palm Royale. Did you ever watch that show?
No. It is so freaking good. I don't know if it's like a guy's show. But God, I fucking love. I
fucking love it. I love Kristen Wigg
so much. I also love
Josh Lucas. The Hottie from
Sweet Home Alabama. And Ricky Martin.
The Hottie from Sweet Home Alabama.
Ricky Martin honestly is pretty good
at it. He was in season
one more than he's in the new season
so far anyway.
He is. They wrote him a really great
character. God, it's just great. It's a great
show. Very funny. Leslie Bibb,
Laura Dern, Allison Janie,
Kyah Gerber. I'm telling you.
Everyone's amazing
And at Kai Gerber
Not so much
She's not my favorite
But the rest of
Everybody's amazing
The friggin
Costume Department
The arts department
Everyone does such a fucking
Great job
With the costumes
And the sets

Like you just totally

What's the latest on Sweet Empire? What's going on over there?
We just had episode four. Please go watch it on Food Network or the next day on HBO Max.
Episode four is very fun. This is the episode where I have a dinner party and I ask everyone to make hyper-realistic food that you would serve at a dinner party.
So like a honey-baked ham or like fish or yams in a la crusette pot and all this stuff.
And the stuff that they made was so good.
Was it dessert for dinner or dinner for dessert?
Who knows?
Any of how fantastic, only two episodes left.
Wow.
But here's the thing.
This is what I would suggest people are doing.
If you haven't started watching it, but you do want to watch it, I would wait for
Christmas time, right?
If you have HBO Max, wait for Christmas time.
I just binge it.
And when you're like cooking with your mom or something, that's when you turned it on.
I like that.
My computer, I don't know if it'll make it through this.
year it is dying a slow and sad death you should get a new one i have no memory
it keeps on telling me i have no memory left my computer has dementia all right it is slowly
dying i got something that i i didn't like oh i finally watched the new fantastic four
let me tell you something randy i like all of these actors oh who all's in it again pedro pascal
love him
Vanessa Kirby
Ebon Moss
something
and Joseph Quinn
who is in
Stranger Things
love all those
actors
all right
but I think
that this was
cast really bad
for some reason
it just
for whatever reason
I never could
buy into it
the aesthetic
loved
I love this
like mid-century
modern
futuristic
Jetsons meets
Brady Bunch
vibe
but here's what
I think
that they did
it starts
with Silver
surfer and then they rush through a bunch of stuff they rush through like the fantastic four becoming
the fantastic four they rush through the fantastic four fighting a bunch of people they rush through all
this stuff then all of a sudden they get to like its biggest main enemy right i feel like i watched
the third movie of the fantastic four trilogy without watching one and two i feel like they just
fast forwarded through interesting i wanted to wait to that i wanted to get to that point all
What to be said, it's a fun watch, but it wasn't my jam.
Wow.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, that's sad.
I know.
Well, I've got something I hated.
What did you hate?
The fucking finale of Dancing with the Stars.
Oh, because you hate Robert Irwin.
I don't hate him.
You hate him and you...
I don't hate him, but he's not as good of a dancer.
His finale dances were not as good as Alex's, and he's still won, and I hate that.
That's America, baby.
Yeah.
Sometimes the person that...
that you vote for doesn't get the most votes.
Yeah, very tragic.
There's a clip floating around TikTok of one of his dances on finale night where there's
like a literal entire 10 seconds of him dancing next to Whitney literally lost.
Like it's very evident for 10 whole seconds.
He's not doing anything and forgot the dance or doesn't know the dance.
And then jumps back in and they gave him all tens.
I just can't.
I saw that weirdly Whitney Carson's text messages were released.
That was about Dylan.
Oh, yeah, complaining that she, that he used his brother to get votes, which I thought was rich, considering you had the Prince of England call in for your guy.
Seriously.
Gosh.
They freaking milked every card they had.
You know what I mean?
Like, they didn't even say it once on the show, but I guess Alex had an injury almost all season that she never won.
one time, like, talked about or used for fucking sympathy votes, you know?
Every week, all I got out of him was, like, sympathy, shit.
I don't know.
I just, but to me, I'm just very, I'm very objective, you know?
It's about the dancing.
It's about who's the best.
Okay, you've, you've watched the show now for a couple seasons, right?
Mm-hmm.
Have you ever thought that the person that deserve to win has won?
Sometimes.
Okay.
Who?
In the past few seasons.
I mean, I thought Caitlin was the best on her season.
Okay.
Truly.
Do you think that Hannah Brown?
Okay, did you think Joey wasn't?
No, I didn't think Joey was.
And he was all right.
Like, he's an alright dancer, but he wasn't the best.
What about Hannah Brown?
I didn't watch that season.
Okay.
All right.
Well, but anyway.
But here's the thing.
You loved it and you're going to watch next season.
It depends on who the cast is.
Really?
I think so.
Who was the person from the cast that you became a fan of that you weren't beforehand?
Whitney.
I didn't really know her before.
But she had a terrible reputation, I feel.
like, but I loved her. Dylan, you know, the whole season, I was like, I love Dylan, but he's just
not a good dancer. Yeah. Lo and behold, finale night, I actually thought his contemporary
freestyle was so fucking good. I actually thought, like, Alex had the best dance and then Dylan.
Like, I really loved his contemporary freestyle, and he was fourth runner up or something. I just
yeah. Can we just get you on this show? I can't dance. I can't, I can't do it. That's the point.
No, it's not. All these people are really good. I know. I know. I know. I think you should.
should do it. I can't dance either though, sister. Are you sure? I am sure. Oh, that's a bummer because it would be so fun to watch you on it. I know. I might start taking dance classes just in the hopes. Just in case. One day, my star will rise high enough to get to the level of dancing with the stars. I would love that. Yeah. Last thing that I watched I loved. All right. Stumble. Have you watched Stumble? No, I don't even know what that is. That's so good. Is it animated? No. No. It's a mockumentary. Like in the
same vein of like parks and rec or the office or modern family did you ever watch cheer on
netflix yeah that yeah with like the crazy coach yes and it's that it's okay it's cheer but it's a
mockumentary okay i like that yeah it's so what's it called again stumble stumble all right
not tumble stumble got it a mockumentary exploring the highly competitive world of junior college
cheerleading. It's so funny. Jen Leon is like the main coach and Taryn Killiam who is on
SNL. I love him. Yeah. Is the husband. My buddy Ryan Pinkston is on it as like this washed up like
amazing like Wunderkin Child Tumblr that is now fat and old. They bring him back to like he's like
You know, he's like playing who he is, which is like a guy in his 30s going back to junior college for like for this thing.
He's so funny in it.
Kristen Chenowitz's in it.
The cast is amazing.
It's very, very fun.
So I watched the paper.
Did you watch the paper at all?
I don't think so.
I talked about it on here.
It's very similar to the office.
Like they even have Oscar from the office on it.
Oh yeah.
I do remember you talking about this.
I didn't see it though.
It just didn't grab me
And I was like, oh, it's too bad
And same
There was like one about a hospital
That like didn't grab me
This one I think
Has legs, stumble
Is a great one
Where do you watch that?
I'm pretty sure it's Peacock
Or NBC, let me see
Yeah, NBC Peacock
Interesting
Speaking of Peacock
Are you watching the new season
of Traders at all?
It hasn't started yet
Oh, it has it?
I thought it did for some reason
Did you know that I do a podcast for Traders?
Yes.
So you have to watch it is what you're saying.
Yeah.
Yeah.
True.
It doesn't come out until, I think, in January.
Oh, okay.
I've just been seeing a lot of previews for it.
So I figured it was on.
I think it's really good.
Actually, we shall see, though.
Okay.
Okay.
So there's this video on Instagram of this woman who's making icicles for her Christmas tree using hot glue.
Oh.
Use its hot glue and puts it on a plate and then lets it dry.
and then it starts to look like icicles
and then she puts them on the Christmas tree.
But here's the thing.
The hot glue dried looks like jizz.
I was going to say it doesn't look good.
Yeah, it looks like simon.
Simmon.
It looks like simon.
So I wanted to read some of the comments.
Okay.
Everyone out there.
Georgia said, Tis the seaman.
That one's good.
Hilarious.
Not the come drop buttons.
Okay.
I liked Merry jismus to all and to all a good night.
Brittany says jizz the season.
I like that one.
I like this one.
Oh, come all ye faithful.
That one's good.
Santa has come and gone.
Very funny.
I love celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, I love this next one down here.
appears that Santa's sack is now empty. That's fantastic. The tree needs a towel, not a star.
That's good. That's really good. Here for the common section. Decorating that tree was a load of work.
Fantastic. Very good. I'm glad we all came together for this. Fantastic. I'm going to tell my kids, this is where babies come from. I like that. Twas the night before jismis. Pretty funny. Ebenezer.
Spooge. Very funny. Oh, jismus tree. Oh, jismiss tree. And then my favorite was mine, of course.
Ah, of course. Which was something about Merry Christmas. You got some likes on that one.
Yeah. You did. 369. Giggity, giggity. That's what the holidays are all about. Is it? I don't know.
I don't either. Do you have a tree yet? Or?
I'm in New York
I know
You get a little one
Yeah we're gonna get one
We're gonna get a fake one though
I think
Oh that's not fun
I got a real one
I'll send you pick
We went and chopped it down
But when I say we
Oh I did see that
Well he didn't chop it down
Well we brought a chainsaw
He sawed it down
We brought a chainsaw
And they said no chainsaws allowed
So
Matt was like
He had a hand saw
It's the prettiest
fucking tree I've ever had
Is it?
Yeah it's gorge
You know most people
get the tree
that's got the like really dry short needles.
Is that the Douglas fir tree?
I don't know.
But there's like a Christmas tree that everyone gets.
And this tree's a little different.
It's very fluffy.
Like the needles are long and soft.
This tree is fat.
It's so cute.
It's so chubby and fluffy and soft and it smells so good.
And they were like, the only thing about these trees is you can't put heavy ornaments on it
because the branches aren't as stiff.
And I was like, who cares?
It is gorgeous.
I'm obsessed with it.
Yeah, but the ornaments are like,
like the most important thing.
We've got a ton of ornaments.
They're just not heavy.
It's so good.
You're a star lady.
You're not an angel lady, huh?
You know what?
I actually...
Tell me all about it.
I don't put anything on top of the tree.
No, why?
No topper.
I wouldn't say that.
I think trees just look nice with nothing on top.
I think the toppers are a bit cheesy, in my opinion.
Yeah, but people are saying, why doesn't she have a topper?
Does she not like...
You know what?
People can go fuck themselves.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fair, fair, fair, fair.
I do what I want with my treat.
However, it was very important to Matt to have the star on top.
And I love stars.
So, you know, I think it's a little to use ball, but it looks nice.
I'm happy.
But growing up, were you a star girl or were you a angel girl?
Star.
Star.
We never did the angel.
Miley likes to put a big bow on the top.
Yeah, Sarah does that too.
What's with these actors that like have bows on their freaking trees?
Miley put bows all over my tree. God bless. And I let her do it, but I'm glad that we don't have those this year. Matt would. Matt would not allow that. I don't think so. Thank God. But I don't like it either, so it's fine. It looks like a fat kid. It's like the cartman of Christmas trees, but I like it. I like it too. Does it smell good? So good. So good. Yeah. Who put the hole in the center of the trunk? I guess Matt. I don't know. Because I saw him cut it down with a hacksaw. He did do that. But then you do.
We cut it down, and then we drug it over, and they put it in a thing that shook it to shake all the shit out of it, I guess.
Yeah.
And then maybe they throw it off.
I guess.
I don't know.
Maybe they did throw the hole while they did that.
I'm not really sure.
I was shopping for other things at that point.
So this is what this place was, was like, come here.
You could shop down your own tree.
Yeah, Christmas tree farm.
Yeah, which is such a great business model of.
Genius.
We'll let these fucking idiots do this.
So we don't have to.
That's true.
However, I will say the guy, first of all, there were a gazillion trees.
And somehow, when we took this tree to the front for all the things, he was like, this one.
He was like, this one's my favorite tree over at yonder in the thing.
And he was like, this one I planted 10 years ago.
I was like, how do you know about this one?
How do you know this?
They all look the same.
What do you mean this one?
But he did say you planted it 10 years ago.
And the tree was only like 160 bucks.
And that's pretty crazy for like, that's like a 10-year return is like $160.
That's really not that good.
You just plan them and then you wait 10 years and all of a sudden.
And you got some asshole being like, I planted this even though he didn't.
A robot that did it.
And then he sells it to some stupid blonde for $170.
There we go.
And not only that.
I thought it was money well spent.
They made you do the work.
Did you have to carry it out of there?
Yeah.
Matt wanted to do all of this.
Why don't you just grow the forest?
This is how I got him to go to this place.
I told him he could chop it down himself and then he was excited about that.
Do you do that a lot?
Do you bait him like a horse with a carrot?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is that what all women are doing to us?
Yes.
Yeah.
Happy wife, happy life, Wells.
Just keep that in mind.
Well, what's coming up?
Cowboy Christmas is on the horizons.
What does that mean?
It's the best two weeks of the year in Las Vegas.
It's the NFR, the National Finals Rodeo.
It's Cabo Christmas, which is at the Las Vegas Convention Center, which is the best shopping that's ever existed, everything you could ever want.
That's Western or Horse-related, all in one place, great deals, concerts all over the place.
It's just the best time of year.
I will be there both weekends.
I will be DJing at the Ariot store on December 6th from 1 to 4 p.m. is when I'll be there.
doing a kickoff party and then I'll be back December 13th, which is the last weekend, DJing
at the win in excess nightclub with Diplo to close it out. I'm very excited. Matt and I are also
going to go to the rodeo this year, which I'm really excited about. And that's Christmas.
Nice. What are you asking for for Christmas? I bought myself a truck for Christmas. By the way,
what's wrong with the Wrangler you got? I'm a little sad about it, if I'm honest, because I can't
keep both not that balling but i do feel like we've outgrown the jeep a bit
matt truly does not fit in the jeep and if i have to hear one more time when we get into my
car that he doesn't fit and then it's so dangerous and that if we got in a car accident he would be
very hurt which i don't want wait wait wait wait wait wait matt saying that yeah matt said that
um a guy who thought it was a good idea yes to drive through to ride through Saudi Arabia let's
be clear here he doesn't care about on a motorcycle he thought that the wrangler was too dangerous he
he he's going to say whatever it takes for me to get rid of the wrangler okay okay he hates it he doesn't
like the wrangler so he knows that this is what gets me is it's dangerous or you know it would hurt him
so i'm like okay but there's a few things okay so that i will say like what it's just me in the jeep
it feels roomy and it feels great the minute i get a passenger or like god forbid someone else in the
back seat. It is very tight. There's no room for anything. And really, truly the biggest reason,
the light of my life, the center of my world, Astra. Yeah. It's starting to already develop a little
bit of arthritis. And jumping in and out of the Jeep is just really not good. She won't
use the running board because it's slick. And there's no room for her to jump into the floor
first. So it's a very high jump up and down out of the Jeep. And I mean, she does it multiple
times a day. It's not good for her joints. And she loves.
She loves the farm truck
It's much roomier
So I honestly
The biggest reason I got it was for Astro
She can jump into the bed of a truck
No not the bed, the back seat
Oh
I would never put her in the bed
What kind of mother do you think I am?
Dogs love to be in the bed
Not my dog
She likes the backseat of the truck
With the window that opens in the back
And she sticks her little nose out
And that's what she likes
Passenger princess
So she now gets the running boards
Are bigger and have rubber on them
which so now she hops under the running board
and then the floor and then the seat
much better for her joints
okay so I bought myself to truck
so I told Matt I would love
a big like bowl bar on the front
whatever that's called the big front
grill extra thing on the front
why just because it's sick
and
listen Wells I could hit a deer
and it could fuck up my truck
yeah but not if you got that chrome
roll bar not if I got that
all right so I said I did say
this could benefit us both I'm sure he would also think that that's great for the truck
yeah yeah yeah so what are you going to do with the wrangler
I'm going to sell it I'm so sad do you own it outright or is at least yeah I own it
oh how much you're selling it for oh you don't want a Jeep maybe I do I don't think you
do I'm in for a deal you want it's not a deal I'm not giving a deal for a deal
come on we're friends to be honest I'm not sure what we're selling it for
Matt's in charge of that, but we are listing it
this week. So as soon as he gets home, I'll ask
him all you know, but I just don't think you want to Jeep.
You have a Land Cruiser. What do you want a Jeep for?
I need less cars, not more cars. We'll say that.
Yeah, seriously. I have only
old cars. I will say, I sold
my first Jeep during COVID and I posted it on
Instagram and one of my followers bought it, which was so
cool. She was sick. She was like from Texas
and I was so worried about shipping it. And she was like,
Oh, no worries.
My boyfriend works for like commercial shipper, like it's no issue.
I'll have it picked up like tomorrow.
That's nice.
It was so seamless.
It was so easy.
So if one of the wife's years wants it, I would love that.
I would love it to go to somebody that will love it like I did because I really do love the Jeep.
Like I'm a little sad about it.
But I do think I've outgrown it and living on the farm and with all the horses and the truck is great.

You're building a new house.
You're getting a new car.
Yeah.
You're really just.
Life's a really changing.

We love you.
That's all I got.
It's all we got.

Supporting your wife.
December 6th, I'll be in San Diego.
Oh.
City Cruise is live if you want to come hang out with myself, Chris Harrison, and Ben Higgins.
Did you announce your golf thing yet?
Yeah, I think we announced it last week.
When does that start?
January 14th is episode 1 at 10.
Eastern 7 a.m. Pacific.
Okay, great.
The Vanity Index podcast is coming to the golf channel.
That's pretty cool.
Ding, ding.
What do you want for Christmas, Wells?
I want Lane Kiffin, our old coach.
Oh, here we go.

That was dark.
Yeah.
All right.
See you.
Love you.
Bye.
