But have no fear, even the internet not working couldn’t keep your hosts from picking up the beat and throwing down some fave things. The two also dive in to the Balenciaga shit show, and why on earth we are still hearing from Kanye West. Wells wants to talk about favorite fruit for some reason, and get Brandi’s opinion on a few TikToks about her least fave topic: men. Apparently cats are afraid of cucumbers, and a YFTer asks why Rodney isn’t the Bachelor. All in a days work... enjoy!  Don’t forget to rate, review, and follow Your Favorite Podcast!

Well, the internet at my house isn't working, so that's fun. Let's see if Branda is ready. Are you there? Hello. Hello. Yeah. How's it going? Not good. The internet's out, so I'm using my phone now. Oh, what? At least we got this going. How you doing? I'm doing all right. Oh, what? At least we got this going. How you doing? I'm doing all right. Oh, no.

I had two DJ gigs back to back this weekend. Yeah. And man, it's taking me a hot second to recover. I feel jet lagged, honestly. Oh, you're tired from work. Yeah. That's okay. I thought you were having a real life crisis. Oh, no.

I mean, no. I do feel jet lagged though. I mean, I had to stay up until 3 a.m. both nights and I was on Pacific time. That's 5 a.m. here. I'm jet lagged. Let's be honest here. Yeah. Was it fun at least? Super fun.

Yeah. How are you doing over there with no internet? It's annoying. Spectrum can go suck a D. A fat one. We're using the phone, so it's holding up for right now. Oh boy. Oh boy. I's annoying. Spectrum can go suck a D. A fat one. We're using the phone, so it's holding up for right now. Oh boy. I'm nervous. I'm doing okay. I had

to finally tell social media that Carl passed away, which was really sad. I know. But your guys' posts were so beautiful. Yeah. It just sucks. That's the one thing about having a dog is that you're not living i know you're just like such a bummer dude yeah not great well i'm really sorry obviously

i've known for a minute um and i wanted to like give you time to bring it up when you wanted to let the wife tears know obviously we're all here for you and feel for you uh i know like i can relate i know you got to meet feather when when we first met, actually, my German Shepherd that passed. And like, God, that was literally just the hardest thing I've ever gone through my whole life. So I know exactly how you feel. And I love you. And I loved Carl. And I think Carl and Feather are probably in heaven together chasing squirrels and waiting for us.

And we'll get to see them again someday. Yeah. Or they reincarnate into another dog that comes into our lives down the road. That would be cool. There is part of me that feels like I see a teeny tiny bit of her in Astra sometimes. Yeah. It's not all the time,

but every now and then it'll like show up and it just, yeah, I kind of feel like maybe it's like a little bit of feather saying hi. So it might take you a minute to want another one, but I think eventually the right one will find you and you'll feel the same way. Yeah, he was a good boy.

I'll just tell everyone what happened just so a lot of people are like, what happened? What's going on? Obviously, I told everyone he had epilepsy, which was not life-threatening. I mean, it could have been, but that wasn't really the issue. It's like kind of in the beginning of November, he just stopped eating. Like he wouldn't eat his food, which is very, very odd. Kind of in the beginning of November, he just stopped eating. Like he wouldn't eat his food, which is very, very odd.

And so we took him to the vet and, you know, kind of initially we thought he had like a stomach bug or something, put him on medication and that really didn't work. So we finally did like a ultrasound and they found some kind of big tumor growth in his colon. We tried to do a bunch of biopsies to figure out exactly what it was, but we never could collect enough material. Everyone was pretty certain that it was cancer. And then he also, this is like lymph nodes were like so enlarged. They were like, this is what this is. And yeah, so it sucked. And it's like having that conversation with a vet is such a bummer because you're like, what do you do? And they're like, well, you can do chemo, but I don't know how much that like gives him.

And like, I'm not sure what kind of life that is. You know, you have to make that decision. And then it's like, well, then how do you know when to put the dog down? And the vet was like, you'll know. There'll be a day in which it's just too much. And it's what it was. It's exactly what happened. Like one day he because I never thought he was in pain.

He was just he was not eating very much. So he started getting very skinny, which bummed me out. So I was like making his own food and stuff because I could get him to eat if it was like cooked rice and you know, like gourmet shit for a dog. And then one morning he was just shaking a lot. And I was like, okay, I think maybe now he's in pain. It was such a, I don't want to like make this

a really dark episode, but I feel like everyone has been asking. So just kind of tell everyone. So then the last night, normally we have him sleep in his big old kennel because if he has a seizure,

we want it to be, you know, contain space because he's a hundred pound dog. It was very big. When he has seizure, kind of like bull in a china shop. But for the last night,

you know, we were going to have like the person come over to our house and like put him down at our house and everything. And then the last night we were like, you know, let him sleep on the bed with us. And he hadn't had a seizure in over a month. And lo and behold, if he didn't have a seizure on that last night and then proceeded to have like seven more until 8am. And I was, I can't do it. Like the person that was coming over to put him down, wasn't coming over until much later in the day. And so I was like, I can't do like the person i was coming over to put him down wasn't coming over

until much later in the day and so i was like i can't do this so we took him to the vet and luckily we love our vet and uh he was such a nice guy did it and he was like listen you your poor dog isn't absorbing anything in his stomach anymore like we don't know if he's absorbing the medication that you're giving him for his seizures. His like electrolyte levels are way whacked out. This isn't something you did. I think we all agree like it's time or whatnot. So, so anyways, it was really sad. It happened on the 18th of November. I've been like not saying anything because I needed time to grieve before everyone knew because everyone then reaches out and wants to talk to you and make you feel better. And I was like, I'm not ready for that.

So anyways, he was a good boy. I loved him very much. It was weird because he was such a big part of like my social media presence for so very long. Because I would have never told anybody if it wasn't for like people started messaging being like, where's Carl? Like do the Carl voice. Like what's going on? So anyways, he was a good boy and he would be missed. He was.

He was definitely one of my favorite things. Oh yeah. I love that big guy. Yeah. All right. Do you, uh, should we start the show? Yeah. Let's start the show. Is that like such a bummer? Should I cut all that? Should we not? No, you know what? Like, I think of course it's sad and honest. I was just about to say, I'm proud of you for even like being able to talk about it. Cause I, I don't like talking about my feelings. It's really hard to talk about things like that. But I think that the Y of tears are so invested in us and obviously like in your life and with Carl, and I think there are going to be appreciative that you let them in on it. And I think that probably more people than not can relate. Um, cause like you said, like, as you

get older, that's just part of having pets cause like you said, like as you get older, that's just part of having pets is, you know, like you outlive them and it's hard. And I think a lot of people are, have been there. And so I think, um, it's just really relatable even though it is sad. So, you know, we like to have fun on this podcast, but we also like to be real. So yeah, I think it's, I think it's a good thing. And thanks for sharing Wells and we love you. Now we can start the show and we can turn it around a little bit. I'm not ready for another dog, but I kind of want to get chickens. Do you have chickens?

Don't do that. Why? They say that you can reduce a lot of your kitchen waste by having chicken because you can give them a bunch of old scraps and stuff and they'll eat it. I mean, okay, so you live in the city, so maybe you'd be all right. The reason I don't have them is, number one, they attract coyotes pretty badly. Um, and I don't want coyotes on my farm. So I, that's why I don't have them. Also Astra. Oh God, guys, Astra accidentally killed a chicken when she was a puppy. I think she thought it was a toy. I think I talked about this at time. Now I like, well, I can't have chickens. Astra will kill them. And,

and also they're just like a target for predators. well i can't have chickens asher will kill them and and also they're just like a target for predators so like my neighbors have chickens and foxes are constantly getting in their cage somehow you know foxes are so freaking sly they'll get in somehow and not only take their eggs but like kill the chickens constantly yeah are there foxes in la i don't know i don't think so i mean there's foxy ladies you would just have to really build like a pretty like coyote proof uh cage for them but maybe give it a go you know i'd get a coop yeah but you gotta like fully cage that bitch in like coyotes will jump in and like you just it's got to be fully caged if you're in la got it but um you know my mom's friend gabby's got them in malibu

so if you need some advice i'm not gonna do it but there's a part of me that wants to have fresh eggs every day. Yeah. You know? I mean, you could. Are there like zones for that in LA? Like do you have to be zoned to have those? No clue. Maybe.

No clue. You know what I think are so freaking cute that you could also get? What? Ducks. Yeah. I love ducks. Do ducks lay as much eggs as chickens do? I don't know if they lay as many, but they definitely lay eggs. Yeah. I love ducks. Do ducks lay as much eggs as chickens do? I don't know if they lay as many, but they definitely lay eggs.

I think they're pretty good from what I've heard. Yeah. But I would need like a little pond. Yeah. You need a little pond. I mean, you got a pool. I think it's doable. I don't know if I want swimming in the pool. Speaking of the freaking motor that like pumps the water is, I think, broken

and it sounds like someone's getting murdered in our backyard. I had to go turn off our pool because it was too crazy anyways. All right. Let's start the show. What do you got? Okay. Let's start the show. I think it's me.

White Lotus is one of my favorite things. It's so Okay. Okay. First of all, White Lotus is one of my favorite things. It's so good. It is so freaking good. But if you haven't watched White Lotus, then you might want to fast forward like three minutes because I'm about to go into some theories. Okay. I got White Lotus theories. Okay. I mean, there's so many possibilities. Like I can't even come up with a theory. Yeah. Let's hear it. Okay. Number one, I think that Tanya, Jennifer Coolidge's husband was originally the cowboy that Quentin was in love with. You do? Yes. Because in that last episode, you see her pick up a photo and it's two cowboys. Right. I think that Tanya's husband, Greg, who he was talking to was Quentin, and they've been hatching a plan to figure out how to get all of her money because we know that

all these lords over in Europe have all this property, but they have no money. Right. And it's coming out that he's obviously broke. And so I think that her husband is the one that's setting all this up and it's going to come back and figure out if he's got a plan to steal all that money. That's a decent theory. The other one, Megan's character, Daphne. Yep. I think that she's the mastermind. Obviously Daphne and Cam are trying to steal the other couple's money, right? Or like get them, get the money. It's pretty, pretty obvious. Now I think you've got the idea that cam is the one that's like masterminding all this but i don't think so i think that daphne is the mastermind

she takes aubrey plaza's character away for a reason knowing i'm probably setting up that cam is going to get all fucked up with the hookers make a bad decision figure out a way to wedge their way into that one theory that i've got is that, you know, when Daphne shows Aubrey Plaza, she's like, you just need to get yourself a trainer. Harper, by the way. Yeah. Harper, you just need to get yourself a trainer. I've got one. He's got big blue eyes. And then she shows him a picture and it's her kids. And you think, oh, it's his kid. It's the trainer's kid. yeah okay yeah i think that daphne is the mastermind not so keen on albie he's too nice he's too sweet i'm not i'm not sure about him i think things might i think he's got a dark side to him i don't know i'm but you listen got to switch it up. Which brings us kind of to the crux of everything, right?

Who is the dead person that Daphne finds in the water? What are your theories? Everyone on social media is saying that it's a woman. Yeah. Do you think it's a woman? If you stop the scene right there, it does look like someone with a shaved leg. Ah, oh, you've done that. Yeah. Yeah. You're invested. Ah, oh, you've done that. Yeah.

Yeah. You're invested. Oh, I'm into this. You're invested. God, I don't know. I've got a feeling it's Ethan. Oh, you think it's dude? I think he's like a hairless guy.

Okay, yeah, uh-huh. So that leg looks hairless, so it makes you think it's a woman, but then it turns out to be him. leg looks hairless so it makes you think it's a woman but then it turns out to be him also in that last episode when he's freaking out that harper and cam are like fucking each other he goes in the water and he swims out there and that's where she and that's where she foreshadowing that's where she finds him yeah yeah and then also you know that boat that quentin took jennifer coolidge's character on that boat is in the background when you see the dead body floating. Oh.

Yeah. Okay. Do you have any other theories? So what's the connection between these two storylines, do you think, of Cam and Ethan and that, and then the Jennifer Coolidge story? How do you think those two are going to end up connecting?

I have no idea. Yeah, me either. But I do think you're right about her husband he's been gone for so long it was really easy to forget about him completely and that's kind of what i had done actually until you brought it up so now that you brought it up i'm like he's got to be some like big piece to this puzzle yeah i don't know what the play is because if you can if you can convince a jury of infidelity, then you do get 30%. It's something like that where you can get money that breaks through a prenup because we know he's got a prenup.

Right. But 30% of whatever her wealth is is probably a lot of money. A lot. Yeah. I don't know. Anyways, the show. So good. So good.

So good. Fantastic. Also, there's a couple bodies. What do you mean? Well, Rocco says like there's multiple bodies. It's not just one person floating in the water. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I think the easy theory is.

That Cam's a bad guy. That Ethan kills Cam because Cam's fucking his wife. But that's too simple. That's way, yeah, way too simple. And it's way too simple that Cam's the bad guy. You know what I mean? And Daphne finding the body, I think, is important. Uh-huh.

Because if you do something bad and you're the one who finds it and shocked, like you're immediately, I think, taken off the suspect list. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, it's a good distraction. Yeah, it's a great distraction. Speaking of suspect list, have you watched the Casey Anthony documentary? I have not.

Oh, man. Is it new? Yes. Oh. It's on Hulu. You need to go watch it immediately. It's so fucking crazy. It's so fucked up.

Ooh. Oh, my God. I mean, I remember the Casey Anthony saga. Oh, yeah, of course. And poor little girl. I need you to watch it to see what you think. It's so fucked up if she is lying about all this stuff. You need to watch it because she,

it just seems like she's lying the entire time. It's giving off Amber Heard vibes real hard. I mean, that's been the consensus this whole time, right? Like from day one, I feel like everyone was like, she's guilty. Like she's lying, you know? Well, I think she lies so much in the beginning she tells the cops that her child is with the nanny there is no nanny takes her to an apartment complex where the nanny is

there's no one in the apartment complex because the nanny doesn't exist then she says that she works at universal studios the cops know that she doesn't so they're like all right let's go to your office so she goes up to universal studios with the cops and then like when they're walking the halls looking for an office she goes i don't don't really work here. Okay. What? Oh my God. Yeah. I mean, she seems like a complete pathological liar. I know. Those types of liars are scary because they will lie and not flinch. They just do it naturally. It's so scary. Oh yeah. They're very convincing. You know, there's very good. It's just very scary. Yeah. Anyways, you got to go watch it. It's, it's only like four episodes, but it is boy, oh boy, is it messed up. If the father

really is the bad guy, then I don't feel bad. But if the father is just the victim of a pathological liar daughter, it is so fucked up. The things that she's saying about him, so fucked up. And the brother too, like, it's just, holy shit, man. He thought my family was messed up. So yeah, Casey Anthony. I don't want to give it a ding because it's messed up, but you need to go watch it. Yeah. Ew.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'll watch it. Are you caught up on the peripheral? No. Oh, why not? Because I was doing the Casey Anthony thing last night and then also got into White Lotus.

Pretty, pretty heavy, you know? Okay. Is it good though? Still good? Still going strong? It is. I have some questions. So I love it.

I love it so much. But we're in so far enough that like all the like stuff that's not real, like the super sci-fi part of it, I'm a little confused. I have some questions, but I feel like you're going to be able to answer them. What I need to do is, isn't there a book? Isn't this all based on a book? I think so, yeah. Yeah, I need to read the book because I feel like I'll get more information. I'm not going to ruin for you what last night's episode was. But so I guess my

biggest question is, you know, they have all these terms for different things, right? When they say the stub, is that just like the timeline that she's on? Like when they say like we're opening a new stub, does that just mean like she's transporting to a different timeline? I looked it up. A stub is basically an example of a fixed point in time being broken. A branch from a linear timeline, if you will. Flynn's understandably a bit perplexed when she's called a stub in episode two. Essentially, the VR headset Flynn is testing took her to a virtual version of the future. So there you go.

So I'm a little right. It is like a different timeline kind of. Yeah, it's a fork in the timeline. Uh-huh. Interesting. It's so good though. It is good. It's a good show.

Do you know what's happening with Balenciaga? Oh, yeah. Sure do. Can you dumb it down for me? I know that everyone's like getting rid of their Balenciaga stuff. And I know it was like they put there was a, kids and, like, dolls with bondage stuff. That's what I think I heard. What is happening?

So that's correct. They put out a campaign, a new campaign for their new line or whatnot, and that's exactly what it is. I mean, you Google it. It'll pop right up, the photos it's children wearing balenciaga that are holding dolls that are in like bondage and look like voodoo dolls with like their eyes blacked out and like goth bondage teddy bears you know i'm pretty sure some of the kids also like look like they're like beaten up and stuff like it's it's very dark it's very disturbing and so everyone's saying why would balenciaga put out a campaign that literally is about i guess guess, like child pornography and like, like, I don't know, I guess just Google it and see what it says. But like, that's my understanding is that it's a depictation of like child pornography and like, that's what everyone's associating it with and stuff. And I mean, when you look at the photos, you, you kind of are like, how did anyone approve this? Like, how did this get past all the approvals

to be released? Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. So basically everyone's like speaking out against Balenciaga and people are literally burning their Balenciaga products on social media and stuff. And a lot of people have spoken out against it. I think I heard that Balenciaga is suing the marketing company that did the campaign. Okay. But like, is it their fault? Yeah. I mean, I don't, I have no idea. Do you have Balenciaga shit? I have a ton of it.

Oh, you do? I mean, yeah, it's like one of my, one of the brand's designers, like, I know that I've bought the most. So like I recently, I guess like, I know, but I didn't know. And so like two months ago I bought this outrageous bag. It's like the it bag of the season from Balenciaga was out fricking outrageous. And now I'm scared to carry it.

Cause like, I don't, I don't like pointing fingers at me and being like, you support child pornography. It's like, okay, whoa. I don't. So I haven't yet. I've put all my stuff away. I'm like scared to wear it um i also heard again this is all hearsay i don't have any more shares just what i've been hearing

i heard that balenciaga came out and said that basically you can return anything you've ever bought from them to their stores and they'll give you your money back which seems crazy crazy go do that get that money back for the bag i was, like, maybe I should take that bag back. Yeah, and then walk over to Christian Dior and get the exact same fucking thing for the exact same price. And not a company that is, you know, child porn. I mean, Dior is very, like, preppy. And Balenciaga is very rock and roll, which is why I like Balenciaga. But, you know, you know.

Well, I'm happy and proud to say that I don't have a single piece of Balenciaga. Well, that doesn't surprise me. Not a single piece. I don't even know where Balenciaga store is because, you know, guys, I'm for the kids. Okay. For the kids. You know, I like Todd Snyder and Tom Ford. That's where that's those are the places that I go. Yeah, I'm sure you and Tom Ford That's where Those are the places that I go

Uh huh yeah I'm sure you frequent Tom Ford on the regular Those are my nice pieces Gucci Is anyone mad at Gucci I guess they were maybe Nazi sympathizers At some point Probably

Miley is an ambassador for Gucci Oh really One of the faces of Gucci this year That's pretty nice were they probably Miley is an ambassador for Gucci so oh really I'm a Gucci yeah uh-huh one of the faces of Gucci this year oh that's pretty nice I know she's on a Balenciaga girl is she you know I don't think she really not really yeah not really because I know that like everyone's mad at Kim Kardashian because it took her like a long time to like respond because I think she's like a Balenciaga person I don't know yeah she wears a lot of Balenciaga. Yeah. It's not streetwear at all.

It's designer, but it like, it has like a streetwear vibe to it, which is I think what makes it a little bit like more like edgy and rock and roll, you know what I mean? And so like, I think, you know, obviously like the Kardashians, like I think they were probably some of the first celebrities to really start wearing Balenciaga so much that kind of made it such a big thing.

So that's probably why they're associated with it. Got it. But yeah, it's freaking crazy speaking of the car speaking of the kardashians kanye west completely off the rails right i mean he has been for a while dude i don't know why anyone's letting him like talk i don't know if he went on the alex jones show and alex jones is like known as a crazy person and alex jones had to be the one to be like, well, I don't know how I feel about Nazis. It's insane, the things that he is saying. I saw someone was like, what he's doing is genius

because he's the only free person in America because he can say he thought of the worst thing and he can say it and no one can, you know, put him in jail or anything. He's the most free free we're not free and it's like no we all can say what he's saying yeah you shouldn't say what he's saying because it's a fucking asshole thing to say we all have the freedom to say that but we don't because we're not pieces of garbage exactly jeez yeah i. Yeah, I don't really get it.

Like, at first, it kind of seemed like it was all just, like, publicity stunt, right? Like, to say all these shocking things and get them in the press. But now I'm just like, I don't know what you're doing. Yeah, I think he's having a true, like, mental breakdown. Yeah. I think it's, and I feel bad about that because I don't think, I think like every really successful person, they're just surrounded by a bunch of sycophants who tell them what they want to hear and no one can check them. And it's someone needs to be like, dude, you need to, you need some help. You can't be saying this stuff.

It's also comes across as so stupid because the shit he said makes no fucking sense. Like he was like, you know, Hitler invented the microphone. No, he didn't. That's a quick goog away that he didn't invent the microphone. You know? It's just like, I don't know. Anyways, I'll probably cut all that because

I don't know why we even talk about that idiot. I got a question for you. Do you have a favorite fruit? A favorite fruit? Yeah. I got a question for you. Do you have a favorite fruit? A favorite fruit? Yeah. I guess maybe strawberries. Oh, really?

I think so. I think strawberries are my least favorite fruit, and I'll tell you why. Oh, why? Because they look like they should be so much more delicious than they are. I think they're pretty good. Yeah. Oh, they're so good, everyone just dips them in chocolate. I don't. Well, a lot of companies do that. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah. Oh, they're so good. Everyone just dips them in chocolate. I don't.

Well, a lot of companies do that. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah, I like strawberries a lot. You know what fruit I really love that's so underrated and I don't know why I don't buy them more is peaches. Ooh, I like a peach. I love a peach.

Yeah. I don't love the hair on the peach though. Yeah. I don't just bite into the peach. I cut it up. Oh, okay. I don't bite into many fruits because. I cut it up. Okay. I don't bite into many fruits cause I have four veneers on my front teeth. And when I first got my veneers, I kept telling my mom, like, I think one's loose. I think one's loose. She's like, that's not a

thing, Brandy. You're just, you're people have dreams about losing their teeth all the time. That's what you're doing. Okay. No, I've been to an apple one day and popped a veneer and it hurt so fricking bad. So now I'm terrified of doing that. So I don't really bite into fruits often. Got it. I just cut them up. I've been thinking about this a lot. I'm getting into the fruit game recently because I saw that, like, if you're going to eat a lot of carbs, you should have fruit.

Like, that type of fiber helps you, like, digest carbs and stuff. I don't know. See that? I'll tell you what, man. I think pineapple is the best fruit. Yeah, it's a good one. I like the texture. It's always, like, kind of crunchy. A little bit, man. I think pineapple is the best fruit. Yeah, it's a good one. I like the texture. It's always that kind of crunchy.

A little bit, yeah. Very juicy. It's a juicy. Difficult to cut, though. True. But I always just buy like a box assorted fruits and stuff, you know. Least favorite, mango. Oh, I like mango.

I'm not a big mango guy. Speaking of tough things to cut, not a big mango guy. I can deal with it, but... What about dried mango? Have you ever had dried mango? Yeah, that's just too sweet. Too sweet. Oh, see, I like it because it's like candy, but not. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's stupid.

You know what show I started? What? The Jesse Eisenberg show. Oh, yeah. Fleischman is in trouble. Yes, I love how depressing it is. My complaint about the show is I need this to get to Claire Danes being a missing person already yeah like I need I need the mystery to happen like I get it it's sad I get it Liz Kaplan's character is in love with Fleischman did Liz Kaplan kill her to get closer to Fleischman like where are we going with this

yeah I agree. It's time. It's like, let's go, guys. Come on. I need the mystery now. Also, your wife's been missing for a very long time. It's starting to get to the point of the Casey Anthony thing where, like, it's going to be weird if you don't report this soon. Yeah.

You know? Uh-huh. Like, yeah, your wife's a bitch, but she's not a fucking criminal. Or is she? I don't know. Yeah. You know? Uh-huh. Like, yeah, your wife's a bitch, but she's not a fucking criminal. Or is she? I don't know. Yeah. Maybe. And I'll tell you what. It's good, though. Claire Danes is such a good actress, because I hate her so much. Oh, yeah. I hate

her so much. I love that when an actor makes me fucking hate them. I'm like, God, you're good. Me too. I know. You're so good at acting. Yeah, she's incredible. And what's amazing is that I used to have a huge crush on Claire Danes. Romeo and Juliet, My So-Called Life. I was a huge Claire Danes guy, and now I'm like, this bitch, I fucking hate her. It's really hard for me to not see her as her character in Homeland.

Oh, I never watched Homeland. Oh my God, what do you mean? I just didn't watch Homeland. That was a great show. Well, I didn't. You should absolutely go back and watch it. I can't. I can't go back.

What do you mean? I can only go forward. That's ridiculous. Sarah's re-watching all of Walking Dead right now, and that looks like a nightmare. Absolute nightmare. I kind of love discovering shows that I slept on in the past. Like Lost.

I didn't see Lost until like two years ago. I did the same thing with Lost, but I could only get season four. And then it was like, are you on the island? Are you off the island? Like what's happening here? I know.

I'm telling you, you should at least go back and watch the first couple seasons of Homeland. It was so good. Was it like 24? Seems like it was like 24 a little bit in a good way i loved 24 yeah i liked 24 too but i feel like it's the same thing and i also got like a little sick of like okay i get the shtick like man keifer sutherland's got to save the world

fucking every day okay but just just go watch season one like it's so good she's great i mean she's phenomenal in it like absolutely, absolutely phenomenal. All right. In that vein of television, have you seen Echo 3? No. Oh, my God. That needs to be the next thing you watch. Really? It's on Apple TV, huh?

My man, Mickey Housman, is in it. Oh, yeah, he is. So gorgeous. Who would you rather? Michael Housman or Theo James? Ooh, they, he is. So gorgeous. Who would you rather, Mikael Huseman or Theo James? Ooh, they're so different. They're so different. I think Mikael Huseman.

I really do. Really? I do. There's just something about him that's just really got a grasp on me. I don't know what it is. When Amber Chase Burrow goes missing along the Colombian-Venezuela border. Her brother and her husband struggle to find her against the backdrop of a secret war. Echo 3. Mikael Hjusman.

Luke Evans. He's a great actor. He's phenomenal in this. Okay. Okay. And what's the actress's name? She's good, too. Jessica Ann Collins?

Yeah, I've seen her in other things, but I can't tell you what they are. okay and what's the girls what's the actress's name she's good too jessica ann collins yeah i've seen her in other things but i can't tell you what they are um she just looks familiar to me but she's also super good so basically the premise is so the brother and the husband which are the they're i guess they're like the main character and the girl they're these three are like the main characters but the brother and the husband are in helicopter army crew like that drop in and do like secret missions what's that called special forces special forces so they're in special forces together whatever like super secret you know like like serious shit um and then uh so the the brother and sister are super super tight and then he marries the sister but the brother and their best friend so it's just like they're

just like a little like three musketeers, you know, but then you find out very quickly something surprising about the girl about Amber. Um, but anyway, she's a scientist. She goes to South America to research plants or something, some healing thing in plants in South America, right? Like in the jungle. And you know, the husband is just like, like worried about her safety or whatnot. So like when she's going, he's like, I don't know. I just don't know if you should go by yourself, blah, blah, blah. And then, of course, shit goes down. So I don't want to ruin anything for you.

It's very good, though. But if you like movies like that, like search and rescue type stuff, very cool that it's set in Venezuela. And the acting is phenomenal. And it's, I don't know, it's just very good. Highly recommend. The guy who wrote The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty is and the acting is phenomenal. And it's, I don't know, she's very good. Highly recommend. The guy who wrote The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty is also the writer on this. And that's where you know Amber from.

She was on. Oh. She was in Zero Dark Thirty. I loved Zero Dark Thirty. Yeah, it was good. Yeah. Jessica Chastain was so good in that. Yeah, she's a man of the people.

She's like the Bruce Springsteen of actresses. That's what I've always said since last week. Since last week. Okay, so this one is going to be for our guy listeners, which are few and far between, or the ladies that like kind of like boy humor. Okay. Okay.

Did you ever watch Letter, Kenny? Don't even know what that is. Oh, I talked about it on the show a while ago and it's a very popular Canadian TV show. It's on Hulu, I believe. Anyways, it's fantastic. And the main guy in Letterkenny, who also I think is the main writer, has a new show out called Shorzy. It's on Hulu and it is so funny if you are an immature boy like I am. Got it. So that's not me. Yeah. It's not, it's not going to be you. Like Sarah didn't love it, but like I could not stop laughing about it. The whole first episode is about aqua dumps. Any boy that you've ever known talked about aqua dumps and it's just like the funniest

fucking thing in the world. Anyways, the synopsis is seize the foul mouthed, chirp serving, mother loving, fan favorite character, Shorzy. Join a senior AAA hockey team in Sudbury on a quest to never lose again. Shorzy on Hulu. So it's effectively washed up hockey players, the antics that they get into. Interesting. I loved it. Sarah didn't. You would hate it. But if you are a lady out there who likes some slapstick

comedy, boy, do I have something for you. Go check out Chorzy. Okay. All right. Well, if anybody out there enjoys really terrible Lifetime Christmas movies, apparently people really love that whole situation. Netflix has a couple new ones that are just so bad that you can't help but watch the whole thing. The Noel Diary, have you seen that?

No. Wow. It's Justin Hartley. Justin Hartley. Justin Hartley. Anyway, classic, you know, Hallmark Christmas movie. So bad. worth a watch they do this thing where they're like constantly fading from one scene to the other like way too quickly like

it's not only a horrible transition they're doing them like fucking like every five seconds i'm like can we stop with the fade it's really ruining the vibe for me but you know cute and then uh and then our boy god cord over street i love you cord i love you so. But, you know, cute. And then our boy, God, Cord Overstreet. I love you, Cord. I love you so much. I do. You know, we've known each other for so long. Love ya.

This movie is absolutely terrible in the best way. The Lindsay Lohan one? Yeah. Lindsay Lohan and Cord. Yeah, just, you know, so bad, it's so good. So if you're looking for a Hallmark Christmas movie that's not on Hallmark, hit up Netflix. I do love the coordinator. He's so funny.

Like, he's so funny in this because his character is just so not Kord. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just unreal. I want to watch it. I heard that it's so bad it's good. Yeah. Like that. Like, it's just so over the top bad that it's like it's the best movie ever.

Yeah. So yeah. You know, Kord has another show called Acapulco, which is very good too. I've never seen that actually. I need to watch that. Yeah. They're in their second season now. It's really funny.

He's great. I think we're spending New Year's Eve with him. We solidified those dates last night. There you go. Yeah. New Year's Eve with him. We solidified those dates last night. There you go.

Yeah. With my buddy Tanner Novlin, who is also in a Hallmark movie coming up soon. Oh, love that. Oh, yeah. I cannot wait to watch the Lindsay Lohan. The only thing that annoyed me about the Lindsay Lohan thing was that when they were doing a bunch of the promo for it, they didn't say that Kord was in the movie.

It was just Lindsay Lohan. Yeah. If you go watch like. He's like just as big of a character as she is. For sure. And like it's that like annoyed me. Actually, I'm like Cord is much more relevant than you are, Lindsay Lohan. Last I saw that you're like a bartender and a DJ at some like club in Ibiza.

Oh, yeah. That sounds right. Right. It was something like that. Doing like bad TikTok dances. It's just it's so funny to see Cord in a movie with Right? It was something like that. It's funny. Doing, like, bad TikTok dances. It's just, it's so funny to see Kord in a movie with her. It just cracks me up. Yeah.

But good for Kord, you know? Of course. Love him. Get that money. I feel like there was something else. Oh, God, how could I freaking forget? Guys. My bell's struggling a little bit.

Down to Earth with Zac Efron is back oh is that where he like just kind of goes around and kind of anthony bourdain's it great great details there wells i haven't seen season one no oh my god you really need to watch it why very good because it's so good i mean i'd love to travel more than anything so So like, I just like, I'd love, I just love that aspect of it. And then on top of that, like, I just got to shout out Zach for a second. My mom and I were talking about this last night because I called her about it. We've known Zach forever, right? Like Miley did the old stint with High School Musical and just all the Disney fam.

Like we've just known him for so long. I'm just so proud of him because Zach could do whatever he wants and he's doing this show and he really is putting a spotlight on so many issues with global warming and um the coolest part about it for me is like yes you get to see cool places and and um learn about the culture in these different places but but the biggest thing is that he's he's like highlighting sustainability efforts in different places so for season two the biggest thing is that he's, he's like highlighting sustainability efforts in different places. So for season two, the whole thing is in Australia, which I guess he moved to, um, Byron Bay, which I didn't know. So he lives in Australia now, but the whole, the whole season is in Australia. And he basically goes around and is like

highlighting how people are, um, actually like making huge steps in with sustainability for different things. Like as an example, um, there's a couple in Australia who figured out how to make a biodegradable version of Saran wrap and they made it cheap enough that it's literally just as cheap to buy from them as it is to buy Saran wrap for these big companies. So there's no excuse not to use it. Right. So it's like small things like that, that like, if everybody would just get on fricking board and use that, we would, I mean, like save so much plastic from being in our oceans and stuff. And I'm, that's just one small example of all the different things they highlight in season two. And it's just very cool. I'm just so proud of him. You can tell he's very passionate about it,

which I think is super cool. Um, and also Zach, um, my mom's going to also text you, but if you want a female co-host for season three, I would be a perfect fit. I love to travel. I'm passionate about sustainability. I think you and I would have so much fun together, and I think your show could use some female energy. But yeah, Tish is going to text you. But guys, you've got to watch Down to Earth. It really is so good, and Zach's fantastic.

I don't think Zach's going to take you on as a co-host. Why not? Because why? Because I would be absolutely perfect for it. That's why. Yeah, but why would he split the money of that show that's already successful with just him with someone else?

I'll do it for free. Oh, okay. Well, you need to make sure your mom tells him that. You know? They do need some female energy on that show though i believe that i want to get your thoughts on this where the hell do y'all be finding these men that are obsessed with you good fathers so you need a nerd you've got to get a nerd um they're too socially awkward and like afraid to talk to other humans so they won't like go out like you know step out on you um they're the

good ones my husband is huge nerd matter of fact he is currently reading a first course in electronic warfare like this is his before bed reading this is a freaking math book. Get a life. You know, you know what? You know who's not a sketchy husband? The guy reading a math book before bed. That's who. So I think that you need to go find yourself a nerd. No, I can't do it.

I know, but they're good ones. I mean, look at... No, none of them are good. At some point in time, that guy will fuck up and do something shitty no okay first of all yes second of all i just can't sign up for that sort of life it's just not for me well i can't we gotta figure something out for you brandy do we we do i don't know i saw this also on tiktok and i thought it was really interesting it's one of those things where like i disagree vehemently with the person in the beginning

and then I agree with them at the end. And it's like kind of impressive that someone's able to change my mind in like less than three minutes. But I wanted to play it for you to see what you think of this theory. Male attractiveness can just be boiled down to whether or not you are threatening, which sounds fucked up, but it's just what it is. Women are only attracted to men who are threats to other men. Women are not attracted to men who are not threats to anybody. There's a lot of ways to be threatening, by the way. So

being tall is threatening. Women like that. Being muscular is threatening. Women like that. Women actually prefer a fat guy with muscles over a skinny guy with no muscles. They've studied this. It's because the fat guy with muscles is more threatening than the skinny guy with no muscles. Being smart. It's threatening as fuck. Ask any nerdy kid in school. Once all the other kids realize who the smartest kid is, they don't like him because it's a threat. Pete Davidson's a very good example of this. Guys can't figure out why do these hot women go for Pete Davidson? Have you ever heard Pete Davidson talk? Number one, he's a genius, easily. Number two, if he needed to destroy someone with

his words, it wouldn't take him any effort. He could just rip you apart. That's threatening. It's very, very threatening. It's funny. He's a funny guy, but he also has the ability to be threatening, which is what makes him hot. Like these Andrew Tate sphere guys who are just the cringiest of the cringe. They're doing this bit where they're trying to appear threatening by essentially like being, I call it pit bull role play. Both in the, they want to seem like the pit bull dog and the pit bull, the singer. That's the aesthetic they go for. And they adopt it because they think it makes them threatening without realizing that they

kind of look like clowns to everyone else. But from their perspective, like it's like a short buzz cut, aggressive sunglasses. I'm a threat. I'm a badass. And it's like a cringe city, but it's what they're going for. It's their, it's their aim. They just, uh, failed. Well, why would, why would women be into threats by the way? It's because, um, the biggest threat to women is, uh, fucking men, men are monsters. So they would like it. If one

of the monsters was on their team and loved them very, very, very much. It would be even more ideal if the scariest of their monsters was deeply in love with them. And now you understand why girls like Beauty and the Beast. The Beast is hot. Women find the Beast hot. He's a monster. He's a literal monster. He's like made of a yak and a lion and women are all about it.

Because he could throw a bookshelf. Shit's cool. Thoughts? I'm the opposite of you. I immediately agreed. made of a yak and a lion and women are all about it because you could uh throw a bookshelf shit's cool thoughts i'm the opposite of you i immediately agreed and then towards the end i was like i mean okay i don't know the word monster is not really doing it for me i don't think i like that term well i think he was saying that um in beauty and the beasts the beast is an actual monster i get that i guess but like a big dude that can like fuck shit up and throw you around in the bedroom, like absolutely. If that's threatening, then sign me the fuck up.

Yeah. Oh, it is threatening. Yeah. I think for sure. It can threaten me anytime, you know? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I think it's more nuanced than that. It's much larger of an issue

than just boiling it down to like women like threatening guys. But I do think the thing that got me was when he finally is like, okay, so why do women like this? Because men are terrible. Yeah, if you're going to have to be around these terrible beings, you might as well have one on your team and i'm like oh that kind of makes sense but i don't know yeah i'm not threatened by dudes so that means you probably haven't been like fucked over by one actually now you have been no i have yeah yeah yeah that just I mean, yeah, I don't know.

Okay. Like I control a 1200 pound animal on the daily. Like I'm not threatened by a dude. Yeah. Oh, my last, the only other thing I had in my little notes, my, when I say notes, I mean like my head. Yeah. Um, you probably, this is something that I just felt like Wells probably already knows about.

Did you know that cats are scared of cucumbers, apparently? Oh, yeah. Why is this common knowledge? Yeah, if you put one behind it and then you have them turn around, they'll jump out of the fucking house. Yeah, I searched it on YouTube. It's fascinating. Do we know why? I think they think they're like lizards or something.

I don't know. That's so weird. Okay like lizards or something. I don't know. That's so weird. Okay. Well, yeah, that was news for me. So if you don't know about this, guys, give it a Google search. It's hilarious. I'm going to try it on my cats. Maybe make a TikTok out of it. I like it. You want to take some calls? Sure. All right. Hi, my favorite thing is Brandy's discussions about Grey's Anatomy.

Brandy, I know it's not a popular opinion with Wells, but your Grey's Anatomy updates are awesome. If you could just continue to do them, it's a new season. It started, would love to hear what you think about it, even though Wells doesn't care. There are people who care what you think about Grey's Anatomy. All right. Thanks. Bye. Oh, love that.

I mean, you know, I love Grey's. I don't know what they're doing with this, but like they'll put out a few episodes, you know, like every week, like for three weeks, you'll have an episode. And then all of a sudden for a freaking month, there's no episode. Like, I don't know what the hell they're doing, but I'm going to need them to get it together. Okay. Ellen Pompeo's leaving. So what's going to happen?

I know. If Dr. Marsh also leaves, I might have to stop watching. Well, then is there a show? I mean, McDreamy's gone. Ellen Pompeo's going to leave. I know. That's why they need Dr. Marsh to stay. Paging Dr. Marsh.

He's hot. Wells and Brandy. It's Julie coming from Canada. And I have a favorite thing. There are bands from Canada. I think you've been sleeping on them. They've been around a while. No, we haven't.

Play any of their top hits on Spotify. I promise you'll love them. They've been around a while. No, we haven't. Play any of their top hits on Spotify. I promise you'll love them. They're all bangers. And bonus, Brandy, they actually did a collab with Ali and AJ recently, who I know was one of your recent big things. The band is called Arkells, spelled A-R-K-E-L-L-S. They're from Hamilton, Ontario, and you're going to love them. I promise. Bye.

Do you know that band? I don't. They're good. Maybe we'll close out the show with some Markels. Last one. Hi, welcome Brandy. My name is Amanda and I am from upstate New York. I have been a listener since day one. Absolutely obsessed. My favorite podcast.

You guys are the best. I just wanted to call in with a few of my favorite things and a question. Well, one of my favorite things that I've been into lately is the show on Peacock, A Friend of the Family. And I think it is inspired by a documentary that was on Netflix that I think well-recommended a year or two ago. And when I started reading the premise, I was like, this sounds familiar to me. I think I've seen this before. And it is.

It's based off a documentary. And it's with Mormons. So I know you guys will be kind of into it. New episodes have been coming out on Thursdays. And I've been pretty obsessed. And then my question is, do we think Justice for for Rodney on Paradise, like after watching everything play out, I'm kind of confused why Zach is the bachelor and it's not Rodney. So, yeah. Do you have any like insight on that? Because I'm just curious.

Well, thanks. Have a great day. Bye. Why do you think Rodney is not the bachelor? I don't know. I think Rodney might not be tough enough to be the bachelor. Well, thanks. Have a great day. Bye. Why do you think Rodney's not the Bachelor? I don't know. I feel like Rodney might not be tough enough to be the Bachelor. Yeah, maybe. Like emotionally.

Yeah, he is a wounded little bird. Yeah, he's very sensitive. Very sweet. Very sensitive. Very sweet. But I do feel like you've got to be kind of tough to get through as the Bachelor or Bachelorette. I don't know. I think you'd have been great.

I would have been all for it. I've talked to producers that say, like, Zach, the season's going to be great. Like, the girls are really, really good. And that's all you really need. You don't really need the lead to be any good. I don't know what they're doing over there. Me neither.

All I know is Rodney's going to be just fine. Just fine. He's such a catch. Just fine. Like, he's going to be just fine. Yeah. No need to worry about old Rodney. All right.

Is there anything else? I don't think so. It's all for me. Let me find some Arkells. That's all for me. All right, Brandi. Well, we did it. I can't believe we survived on your cell phone reception.

Right? I'm shocked. Do I even need an internet box? Or can I just use my phone? I know. That's what I'm wondering. I know. Yeah, not bad. All right now you got something big coming up no i am home for three whole weeks i can't believe it that's nice it's nice i needed it like normally i would i would not be thrilled about

that concept because i get bored easy but i i need to chill i also need to organize my house. And yeah, I just need to chill. The next thing I do have is New Year's Eve in Miami. Miami, baby. Hi, papi. That'll be fun. Alright, well. You staying in LA? For the holidays and then
