Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - This show just got so much better

Episode Date: October 5, 2022

Welcome to our brand-new show. It’s still called YFT, but we have much better audio, and someday soon, hopefully, really cool video content. It’s a throwback to Up and at ‘Em with Wells Adams as he tests out all his gadgets and gizmos—there’s even a laugh track, so he doesn’t even need Brandi anymore! (JK). Speaking of Brandi, the girl hasn’t even watched Best in Dough... how rude. She did however, watch Bachelor in Paradise, and your hosts have many thoughts to share there. Notably, Michael A is looking gooooood. Also, Stagecoach is where Bachelor contestants go to die. Your hosts then play a fun new game called movie star or actor where you have to say if someone is, well, a movie star or an actor. Big difference there. They also discuss how many holes straws, cups, and humans have, and Brandi talks about her new hobby, leaf peeping. All in a day’s work, people!

All right. Here we go. Guys, big, big day in the history of this podcast. I got some new hardware. I've been complaining. I don't know if I might've been editing it out, but I've been complaining about how much I hate my current setup here. Cause it was originally built for when I was doing radio and I was doing shows in Nashville. So it was like radio is like so antiquated when it comes to technology. And I hated it. I thought it sounded like shit. And as someone who has worked in radio for a very long time, listening to my show, I couldn't stand it. So I got some new gear. This is such a dorky thing for me to talk about, but it's true. I got some

new gear and I'm so pumped about it. And do you want to know why I'm pumped about it? By the way, this is not an ad, but this is called the Rodecaster Pro 2. And it just has so many little functions. If I say something funny. See? I'm using that button a lot. Yeah. Thanks. Thanks, guys. If Brandy says something dumb and stupid and lame. Crickets. Oh, do I want to talk like a monster? You know I do. What? This is real life, folks.

This show just got so much better for you. Or worse. I don't really know. Do I want to talk like a little girl? Yes, I do. Oh, my God. Brandy is so late to the show. So typical Brandy.

Did you hear that? Oh, am I in the movie Scream? Sydney, answer the phone. I mean, it's kind of like the voice from Scream. Oh, are you a large robot? Yes, I am. Beep, boop, beep, boop, boop, beep. So anyways, I'm going to use those tools probably for about one episode,

and then I'll get bored with them, and then it'll just be back to normal. But anyways, just so you know, this is what's happening with my setup, and I'm so pumped about it. This all comes from the podcast company, Podcast Nation, that we work with, who's been like, you need to do videos. And Brandy and I have been like, we don't want to do videos because the whole thing about being a podcast is it's audio and you have to see what we look like. And most of the time we just look like absolute hot garbage. And they're like, we need, you need to do videos for like TikTok and Instagram. Like it helps. It's like, I don't know. They're fine. I'll do it. So did I get my Canon 60 Mark II set up to record video?

Yeah. You can see every pore on this fucking face. Boy, oh, boy. We're going to be like a real show. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know if we ever really were a real show, but I'm just so pumped about it. And we have a lot to talk about today.

All the episodes of Best in Doe are out. Three episodes of Paradise are out right now. Should we call the Brandai? Should we call the Brandi? Should we call the Brandi? What do you guys think? Let's make a phone. Oh, and another thing. So I don't know how many people,

how many YFTers out there were actually fans of my radio show back in Nashville. I'm sure there's a few people who listened to Lightning Hunter back in the day. And when I did my morning show, Up in Adams with Wells Adams. Actually it was a girl voice. I gotta find it. Her name was Keely.

It was Up in Adams with Wells Adams. Great line, by the way. Still kills. I had two music beds that I always talked over. And it was always Rat-a-tat. 100.1, lighting 100. What up? Well, it's Adam Sagan out with you this morning. I hope you're doing good. Long drive into work today? Yeah, I get it. But you know what? We're going to do it today. Can I tell you why?

Hosting beer bands and bingo tonight, Tin Roof. You do not want to miss giving away to see Arctic Monkeys at the Ryman. Jason Isbell at Exit Inn. It's going to be fun. Later on the show, I'm going to have Sheryl Crow in. And Bobby Lee is going to be at Zany's. He's coming by in the fourth hour. It's going to be fun today. Stick around.

You're listening to 100.1 Lightning 100. That's what my morning show is like, if I'm being honest. And then I said funny stuff too. All right. What do you say we call the Brandi? If she dares answer. Dears. Answer. I'm bing-a-ling-a-lang. I'm bing-bong-boom. Buckle my shoe.

Hello. Hello. Yeah, you're crystal fucking clear. Dude, your boy brought in his Canon 6D Mark II in here. Because you know what? We're doing this thing. We got a kick in the butt from the Podcast nation people about how we need to do video. Yeah, we did.

And now my camera doesn't work. Yeah, your camera doesn't work, so you're failing. But you know what? Everyone can just look at me. It's fine. That's probably what they're here for anyway. I was talking to the YFT

before I called you. Your boy has so many new tools. I have started the process of the rebuild of the studio, and I got a new toy, and it is the greatest thing in the world. Your headphones look very fancy. These are new too. Let me ask you this. Can you hear this? Yes. What does it sound like?

People cheering. Applause. That's right. Oh yeah. Applause. Isn't that amazing? It's I love it. It's everything. If you say something super dumb, crickets. Okay. When I inevitably say something hilarious, rim shot. So you don't even need me anymore to laugh. I don't. I absolutely, I do not.

Oh, you want a trombone? Debbie Downer. You want to pump up the peeps? Hey, do you want me to talk like a monster? Okay, I can do that That's sick

Right? Yeah I gotta say like this Roadcaster Pro 2 It's not an ad, but it should be I think that you should get this for your DJ stuff Because a lot of people use this for DJing, I guess Yeah, sounds cheesy Yeah, maybe so

Fuck you, Brandy Cyrus. I'm excited about it. It's good, I'm not going to lie. It's great for the pod. Great for the pod. And then also, do you remember, did you ever listen to my show on Lightning way back in the day?

Can't say I did. Oh. Well, anyways, I always had the same music bed and it was always Rat-A-Tat. It was either Wildcat or Loudpipes. And so I did. Oh. Well, anyways, I always had the same music bed, and it was always rat-a-tat, and it was either Wildcat or Loudpipes. And so I put them in. If we ever need a music bed, you know? Yeah.

And we don't because we're pros, but. Right. Anyways, how you doing? I'm doing pretty good. How are you? Like, Mr. Just-came-off-my-honeymoon? Oh, man. I am relaxed.

I feel great. Your hair looks extra frizzy. Well, I was in the seawater for a very long time. Where'd you guys go? Can you say? Yeah, we went to the Maldives. Oh, the Maldives. We stayed at this amazing place called Patina. Go look it up on Instagram. It's ridiculous.

Listen, I am pretty bougie, all right? I think we all know that. And I've been to some amazing places, you know? This place was... Really? It was the best place I've ever been to in my entire life. Wow, really? Yeah.

Wow, that's a big statement. I know. You have been to some cool places. I know. I used to say Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur was the best place I'd ever been to. Oh, really? And it's a close second, but... You would take Post Ranch Inn over

anywhere in Switzerland you've been or South Africa or anywhere? Yeah. Wow. Have you been to Post Ranch, though? I have not. Miley has, though. Yeah, yeah. She loves it there. Yeah. Alright. She knows about the finer things. Yeah. Yeah, she does.

She has a jet. You know? Yeah. Yeah, she does. She has a jet. You know? Yeah. But no, this place was amazing. The only thing that kind of sucks about the Maldives is it's so far away. We were 13 hours ahead of Los Angeles time. Oof. What's the route to get to the Maldives, would you say?

Well, we took Qatar Airlines, another ding. We did Emirates to South Africa and went through Dubai last time. And I was like, this is an amazing airline. But then my brother was like, you gotta take Qatar. They have these things called Q-suites. And I know this sounds like so bougie,

but it was our honeymoon, so we spent some money to pamper ourselves. So it's business class and it's lay flats, but the Q-suite, there's a little wall in between the two people that you can put down and then you can basically sleep together. Cute. So fun. But you know, it was 15 and a half hours to Doha. You've been to Doha? I haven't actually. Well, it was voted the best airport in the world in 2022. I've heard that. Yeah. And it did not disappoint. It was great. The shops there,

like service there was great. The lounge, great. And then we hopped on another little, like four and a half hour flight down to Malay, which I think is the capital of the Maldives. And then we got in a little boat and the boat took like an hour to get to the Fari Islands down South.

Here's the crazy thing about the Maldives. I just didn't know about until I got there. And first of all, I was like, first of all, do you know where the Maldives are? Honestly, if you put a map in front of me, I could not pinpoint where they are. Same. Before I went on this trip, I had no idea. It's in the Indian

Ocean. That I knew. And it's like south of the tip of India. Okay. That makes sense. So we land there, we go over to patina and they're showing us like all right so we own this island but we rented out to the ritz um and then this is the new island that we're building right now and when they said like what we're building i just assumed that like they were like building buildings on it you know no no. They have these huge ships that come by and they move sand onto the beach and terraform sandbars into islands. And then they come in with palm trees and other trees and foliage and plant them.

Wow. Like they built, the island that we stayed on didn't exist. That's crazy. Yeah. And so like they're just out there just building islands. If you ever get a chance, highly recommend Patina in the Maldives. I think the Maldives is my mom's number one bucket list place she wants to go. Oh, well, milk that for all it's worth and be like, mom, we should do this. And then you get your mom to pay for it.

And then you're great. Yeah. Mom, just tish. Give me the credit card. I'll book everything. Yeah. And all you have to do is get on the plane. It's genius.

Genius. I mean, you could do everything. You could do that, like, go skiing. You could go scuba diving. You could do that board that shoots you up in the air, you know? Ooh, yeah. You could do all this stuff. We didn't do anything.

Well, we took a boat ride to a sandbar and had lunch and then took a boat ride back a sandbar and had lunch and then took a boat ride back and everything else was just us eating and drinking. Damn. It sounds like a dream. It was pretty great. I must say. Here's the thing. And I've said it before. My vacation threshold is five days. How long were you there for? Well, it was 10 overall, but it was basically took three days to get there and back. So we were there for seven days. Yeah. I mean, I guess if you're going that far, you kind of have to stay at least seven.

For sure. Absolutely. It would make no sense to go for like four days when it takes three to get there. But, but I always do get like a little antsy, you know, in my pantsy.

So we just got back. And then tomorrow I have a three 45 pickup to go to the airport i gotta go to new york city to do good morning america oh poor you poor me i'm also doing a bunch of podcasts so we're gonna promote this puppy on um like chicks in the office and kfc going over to the uh the barstool folks so i'm over here doing the work. Yeah, you're doing some work. Yeah. Proud of you. Thank you.

Well, Tizzle and I did some work last week while you were gone. Yeah, I read some reviews. Not great. Not great. Oh, no. Yeah. Did you have fun, though?

Yeah. I mean, my mom's freaking hilarious listening to her suggest alternative terms for the word dick was just the highlight of my week oh yeah yeah i maybe didn't listen to that episode i don't know if i can though you shouldn't it's insane well anyways to the yft years out there we're sorry i'm back i promise i promise not to leave um all right you want to start the show yeah is it miriam i don't know i'll go you talked a lot last episode i guess i did yeah bros and hoes you're listening to Your Favorite Thing Podcast with...

Oh my God. You didn't.

You got to be kidding me. It's on my watch list. Oh, my God. What the fuck do you do? I've been very busy, okay? No, you haven't. Yes, I have. I went to Las Vegas.

Okay. I was in Vegas for three days, played a show, did some other things, went to iHeart, then got a car, drove to Los Angeles for three days. Had three days in L.A. where I went to the Taylor Hawkins tribute show, which you would have fucking loved. You really missed out on that one. And obviously recorded a podcast with my mother. So I was there for like two and a half days and then turned around, went to Nashville, only home for two days and was doing you know a ton of shit putting out fires at home and then got on a plane and i'm in denver and i'm only in denver for two days and i go home only home for two days and i get right back on a plane like life's busy wells life's busy also the show's been out for three weeks also everyone's been saying, you know, I was

griping about how you can't download shows on Hulu for the iPad. Yeah. Well, the YFTers are telling me that you can, but I'm telling the YFTers that I do not have that option. I know what the problem is. What's the problem? You pay for like the cheapest version

of Hulu. Well, yeah. Yeah. So there's like a premium whatever. It's like $12 instead of $9 and that lets you download. Oh, I did not know that. You're just cheap. Yeah, I'm cheap. Yeah. That's the problem.

Well, it is on my watch list. And I literally told my friend Kirsten and I went to Denver together and I said on the way here, I was like, well, this is going to kill me. Yeah. Because I haven't even watched an episode yet. I mean, I'm going to say this with all truth and honesty. You're a terrible friend. Okay, listen, I could have lied to you. I could have been like, yeah, I totally watched it.

That would be a terrible friend. Lying is terrible. Okay, yes. I mean, you could be worse than you are right now. Yes. You could have killed somebody as well. Speaking of that Jeffrey Dahmer show. Oh, I'm glad that you were able to watch the Jeffrey Dahmer show. I haven't seen it

yet. I haven't seen it yet. Just clips. Well, anyway, so all the YFTers out there that watched it and liked it, thank you so much for watching. I appreciate that. I posted about it. I did see that and I do appreciate that. Now see. I do appreciate that, but I want you to watch it. I want you to tell me what you think. I'm going to watch it. appreciate that. I do appreciate that.

But I want you to watch it. I want you to tell me what you think. I'm going to watch it. All right. Because I'm very proud of it. I mean, you look great in all the clips I've seen. The show's great. I really hope it gets picked up for a second season because I want to go eat pizza again for two weeks

and make a stupid TV show. I feel like it's going to get picked up. I feel like it will too. Dude, it's crazy. It's in like 30 different countries on Apple Plus. Oh, that's cool. And it's so funny, like in Nigeria, they had to change the name and it's like pizza time. So, okay. Well, did you watch my other show? Did you watch Bachelor in Paradise? Yeah, I did watch that. Okay. Thank God. That's been number one on the priority list.

What are your thoughts so far? Well, I kind of have a lot of thoughts because you weren't here last week and my mom doesn't watch right now. So, you know, there was episode one last week. And then, so I've only seen the first episode of this week's. Okay. I know there's two this week, right?

Yeah, there was one last month. Yeah, so I only saw Monday's episode. First thoughts, like this is just so much better than The Bachelorette and The Bachelor. I agree. Literally today, I was watching watching it i was watching it with kirsten and she was like who's that person and i was like oh she was on the last season of the bachelor and i was like who the fuck was the last bachelor i can't even remember it was clayton oh yeah i figured that out but it did take me a minute like that's how unmemorable the bachelor has been you know what i mean totally

speaking of what are your thoughts on Zach? I mean... I told you, I told you. You were right, and I am not pumped about it because I think he's boring. I was okay with it until after the final rose when they brought those four girls on. Yeah.

He was terrible. See, I didn't even watch that. Oh, God, you have to watch just that clip because he can't talk to any of them. Yeah. The whole, like, after the final roast thing was super cringe. Like, the whole thing, I hated it. I did not like it. I agree.

The bringing in Avon was so weird. And Tino just looked like the Prime Minister of Canada. And he was just getting fucking roasted. What does the Prime Minister of Canada look like? Tino. Justin Trudeau looks exactly like Tino.

Look him up. All right. I agree with you. And it's like, thank God Paradise is back. Thank God it's back. It's already just so good. Do you know what it is? What is it?

I mean, Paradise has always been like the reality TV all-stars, like people who are really good at making TV. Like Genevieve is so good at making TV. Michael A. is so good. Lace is so good. You know, we just got off a season where like, no offense to anybody,

but I was like, I don't know if anyone's a great TV maker on this show. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. So your thoughts on the first two episodes then? I love how much screen time Genevieve is getting. Cause I love her so much.

She's the best. She's seems great. She just like, she just says exactly what's on her mind. And I love that. She's so expressive. It's the best she's seems great she just like she just says exactly what's on her mind and i love that she's so expressive it's the best yeah which is why i really like her and justin together because they're both so expressive you know what i mean yeah uh yeah yeah yeah i know i know okay so i mean we've just got love triangles left and right i feel like we should kind of start back at episode one.

If Brandon and Serene don't get married, I'm going to be absolutely devastated. Yeah, it was a little bit of like, why don't you guys just get married on day three? What are we doing here? I mean, they could not be more perfect for each other. They are so attractive. Yes, they're gorgeous, so sweet, just both seem so genuine. I mean, that's hands down my favorite couple so far. Yeah, I would say that they are perfect.

Tell me if I'm wrong. Teddy and Andrew, they go on this date. Yeah. And it's awkward as hell. Yeah. And I kind of seem to me like Teddy was hinting at the like at some like them having met prior to the show and that they've hung out before. Is that true? It was definitely the vibe. It was like you guys came here with a plan. Kind of didn't make a whole lot of sense.

And like did you get to the part where she breaks up with him? No. Sorry, spoiler for you, but yeah. Oh, shit. I'm so confused why after three days you're this heartbroken. This makes no sense to me. Uh-huh. You know?

Well, it just – that date seemed so awkward. Like he was afraid to say anything because he didn't want it to get out because who was the couple last season that did this? Oh yeah. It was, um, Piper and. Oh yeah.

Whoever. What's his face? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they had had a whole relationship before coming on and then everyone drug them through the dirt and kicked them off the show. So it seemed to me like Teddy and Andrew have hung out before.

Don't want to say it because they don't want to get kicked off the show and don't really know what to do is the vibe I was getting. I don't think you're wrong. Yeah. Maybe she's picking up with them to kind of save her ass. I don't know. Everyone's talking about how they were together at stage, but the group of them were together at stage coach.

I don't know how much more bachelor Nation needs to see to know that Stagecoach is where bad things happen. Yeah. Why would you ever go to Stagecoach? Never go to Stagecoach. Just say no to Stagecoach. Yeah. Go to Lollapalooza.

Yeah. Or Outlandlands. Yeah. Hell, go to Coachella. Go to Bonnaroo. You know, go to the Newport Folk Festival if you want. Stagecoach is where Bachelor contestants go to die. Yeah.

It's like something in the air in Indio, California where they're like, well, I got to fuck somebody from the Bachelor world or don't get my bracelet to get into the VIP sector tomorrow. I don't know. Like I said, I haven't seen Tuesday's episode, so I don't know. I guess I haven't seen Tuesday's episode. So I don't know if Sally makes an appearance, but it sounds like Sally was the Blake of stage coach this past year. Well, yeah, there was like, apparently there was some history with Sally and Justin. And so we got to kind of wait to see what happens with that. What did you

think about my Sally suitcase saga story reenactment? Wow. Where to begin? Really? Yeah. I must say, I think it's the finest piece of television I've ever done. Huh? Yeah. I mean, I haven't seen best in dough, but I'll take your word for it. Um, um, uh, you know, just, just thoughts popping into my head here. Uh, you make a terrible girl, so probably shouldn't grow your hair out long. Cause it's not the vibe. you know, just, just thoughts popping into my head here. Uh, you make a terrible girl, so probably shouldn't grow your hair out long. Cause it's not the vibe. Yeah. Well,

that's not a good thing. You know, I thought you did a great job. I was very confused about why it was all happening, but I was also just very happy for you because you were getting so much screen time and they usually love to just cut you from the whole show. For sure. Yeah.

And like, that might be the end of the show for me if I'm being, but you, I mean, you got a solid, what, three minutes? I don't know. It was an entire act of television, so it was like, yeah, it was I think 10 minutes. Oh, 10 whole minutes of Wells, wow. I know.

And also, a shout out to Devo. He's like a crew man, he's a sound guy. We were wondering who he was. Yeah, and first of all, he's hilarious. If you go back to it was years ago when someone from like the bachelor one of the girls was hooking up like with like a sound guy and they got caught and he like jumped down from like the second story down and broke his ankles and they did a reenactment and it was davo who did the reenactment so he's

still he's still at it. So when it all went down, we were like, we have to explain what happened here. Like her suitcase is here. So this is all true. Her suitcase really went to paradise. Yeah, she wouldn't get on the plane, but they had already checked in.

So her suitcase went through security and got on the plane. My biggest question is how pissed is she that those girls went through her bag? Yeah. Well, do you think that's really her bag? That's what I'm asking you. I mean, I think that it's so ridiculous, all the things in it that... It can't be her bag. The idea

is that her bag did come. Was that really her bag? I don't know. I mean, the blonde hair extensions were pretty realistic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the waffle iron. I mean, it might have been part of her opening credits a bit, so I don't know. Fascinating. And how Paradise works is when you go get on a plane, you fly there, and then when you get to Puerto Vallarta, there's a producer there or a handler that gets you and then takes you to a set. And so the handler was there and had to get the bag and was like waiting, you know?

And then the other producer that was flying with her got there and was like, yeah, she didn't come. And I was like, oh shit. Dang. Yeah. But they did cut a big part. So there was like this one part where she had to do a bunch of things. Like she had to go like get her nails done. She had to go buy bathing suits.

And so like she made the producer go with her like shopping. And Devo and I did like the whole drunk history thing where we were, you know, doing the lines that we, that I had said or whatnot. And it's really funny. But yeah, I am, I think that came out really well. It was very funny. It was very funny. I did like it.

Yeah. But yeah, that's going to be the end of the show for me. Yeah, for sure. Go out with a bang. Got it. Michael and Sierra. First of all. Yeah.

Funniest line of the entire frigging show is her talking about how she doesn't have a pinky. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she said she gets 10% off when she gets her nails done. Oh my God. Take the bell because I have never laughed so hard in my whole life. So she did it to me. Take the bell because I have never laughed so hard in my whole life. So she did it to me, but she did to me, and I'm so glad it didn't make air because I was like so flabbergasted. She was like, close your eyes and hold my hand.

Okay. And we did like the interlocking of fingers thing. And she's like, do you notice anything off? And I was like, no, this feels like a hand, you know? And she's like, open your eyes. And then when I opened my eyes, I was just like, where's your finger? What happened?

I literally, I was like, is this a magic trick? I'm so confused. It's a good magic trick. Listen, I think Michael's so sweet. Yeah. And I like Sierra. First of all, she's absolutely stunning. Yeah.

And I think it's, I think she's very genuine in like her pursuit of Michael. And I think it's, I think she's very genuine in like her pursuit of Michael. And I think it's very sweet that she's very understanding, obviously, of like his past and everything he's still going through with that. I don't know, to me, like, I just feel like it might end up being like friendzone-y vibes. Yeah. But maybe not. Maybe I'm wrong. Michael's playing a different game.

The stakes for him are much different than everybody else's. And so he's got to be super careful. He's also a very smart guy. He's thinks things through. I mean, like he's an adult in comparison to like other people, real kids. He has such a good story this season though.

And I'm happy for him. I think everyone's going to, I mean, everyone already fell in love with him, like in the King Katie season, but boy, but boy, oh boy, you're in for a ride.

He had a serious glow up. Yeah. He, I think, I think he got his teeth, his teeth done. He grew the beard. He bulked up.

It looks good. This is just one more example of how, like, listen, there are no men that listen to this show, but men everywhere. If you can grow a beard, by golly, please grow a beard. Like it is just, it makes you so much hotter. Like it literally takes the hotness level up three or four levels at least. Yeah. He looks

good. I think he might be the most handsome guy on the beach. Him or Brandon, I think are the two like most handsome. I was going to say Brandon might take the cake for me, but they're both very handsome. This season is the hottest season we've ever had, though. So many of the girls are just drop-dead gorgeous. Drop-dead gorgeous. It's insane. I think that Brittany is so beautiful, and I'm like, no, what is

happening here? I know. You know? I was like, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I think there's quite a few guys that are trash on the speech right now. Romeo, for one. Like, listen. Okay, I'm sorry.

Him not being able to stop crying is the funniest fucking thing I've ever seen in my entire life. And when that was happening, I could not stop laughing. I can't decide if he needs to go to therapy or like check himself into a mental institution. No, I just. Are you okay, bro? I just think that he started to realize how bad he was going to look. What you said about the wrong button, the bad button or whatever the button is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that could not have been more spot on. Like that is exactly what he was doing.

He was making bad decision after bad decision and just digging his own grave. Yeah. I had, you know, like a heart to heart chat with him. I don't know if it'll ever make air. And I was like, hey, maybe just don't be a dick. You know, like, like, like let's go one day without doing a dick move. You went to Harvard, bro. What's going on here? Yeah. What is going on? But you know what? Here's the thing that there is a big difference between book smarts and street smarts. I was just about to say that. Like I was a D plus student, but your boy's a genius. I don't know about that.

But yeah, he's trash. Honestly, I think Logan's trash. I'm just going to say it. Stick with him. He's got a nice story. I guess. He came in being the guy villain. You know, like he was the one who couldn't choose between Rachel and Gabby.

So he has kind of a hill to climb no matter what. It's so refreshing to have Paradise back. I just feel like. Oh, it's so great. So is every week going to have Monday and Tuesday episodes? Yeah. Oh, that's so great. And this is going for like a while too.

ABC bought a lot more episodes this season than they did last. They bought six more episodes, which is bonkers. Buckle up. We're just getting started. Love it. Love it for that. Love that for us. Oh my God. One last thing. Yeah. Jill. Jill is so funny. The way she uses the word bamboozle. Yeah. Yeah. It's my favorite thing in the whole world. It's so fun for me to watch it back because I don't get to be in the interview room with all them. Yeah. So I had no idea how funny Jill was, you know?

She's hilarious. And also, like, the lace loose thing was so fucking funny. Oh, it was so good. Like, Logan looked terrified that entire time. I know. And she did not hold back. She was like, are you fucking kidding me right now that you're calling me loose? You could see in his eyes he was like, oh, shit, oh, shit, oh, shit, oh, shit.

Like, what a deity. I'm telling you, trash. It's going to get better. We make all the women leave, and everyone gets pissed off. Yeah, I've seen that. It's so funny because the guys get to stay on the beach, so they are happy. They don't give a shit. And the girls are fucking miserable, and it's just like the dichotomy between the two things is is ridiculous i guess we can talk about that when it happens but did that did you guys do that just to piss them off i think that we're trying to like do new things that cause drama

yeah well so yeah basically basically yeah the same things what we've been doing but like this one was different but you'll see like there it's it's also a tool to get more people on the show got it because if you think about it you really only can have two or three people come every day but if you separate people you can have multiple people come to both locations you know i see yeah it's really becomes a time issue in terms of crew being able to film so anyways happy it's back. Just super pumped that you're loving Best in Doe as well. That makes me feel really good inside and

yeah, so good. So good. Anything else? Enough batch? I think that's probably enough batch. You got some fave things, bro, or what? What's up? Fave things, bro? How caught up are you on Game of Thrones? Not as caught up as you are.

We couldn't watch it in the Maldives because like we were out of the country, you know, so like we got, we're off. Okay. All I know is like, I remember after I watched episode one, you were like, you like it really? Like you didn't think it was that great? Well, it's so fucking good. It's the best television that's on air right now. No offense, but like it is the fucking best. It's the best television that's on air right now. No offense, but it is the fucking best. TikTok.

Hurtful. I don't know if it's just my algorithm, but everybody on TikTok is just loving it. I feel like it's Game of Thrones is back, and it's fucking phenomenal. Yeah, I agree. Two episodes ago, I agreed with you that I was wrong about that,

and it is very good. I'm annoyed that they made the girl be a different girl. Uh, but the dad stayed the same. What the fuck is that? No, I'm annoyed about that too. But,

but everybody's like, I don't know. Everyone really loves, um, the actress that plays older Raniera. So I'm trying to like get on board, but it was tough for me. I like really liked the younger girls and I liked their characters and I liked

those actresses. So it was hard for me to let go of them for sure. Yeah. Also true to game of Thrones fashion. They're just, you know, fucking killing off hotties left and right. And it's just devastating. I know. Well, the show is so great. I saw one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my entire life in the Maldives. And it was a woman who was eating a donut with chopsticks. I don't know why I thought that was fucking hilarious, but it was so funny. I've just never seen anyone. I've never seen anyone eat a donut with a fork before.

I may have done that once or twice. Listen, my hands are going to get a little sticky. It's the price of doing business with donuts. But anyways, next time I get donuts, I'm getting some chopsticks out because it was the funniest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. You know what donuts I eat with a fork? What's that? Have you had five daughters in Nashville? No. What? You haven't had five daughters? No. Oh, what is wrong with you? If you ever go back to Nashville, you should absolutely get five daughters bakery. Okay. And their donuts are insane. You kind of have to eat them with a fork. Yeah. All right. I'll check it out. I watched a, uh, one of the Chris's movies.

Oh, one of the Chris's, huh? And I think it's my favorite Chris. What Chris check it out. I watched a, uh, one of the Chris's movies. Oh, one of the Chris's, huh? And I think it's my favorite Chris. What Chris? Chris Pine. Chris Pine's your favorite Chris? I think Chris Pine's my favorite one.

Really? Well, I can't like Chris Hemsworth because of you. No. And you know, Chris Pratt, I feel like he's like a little too like overly religious. And I don't know if I'm.

Religious? Yeah. Did you not know about that? All that? Well, he probably now that he's with the Schwarzenegger girl. Well, I think he was always like super, super religious, but really a God, he's so hot. Yeah, but he used to be fat Andy Dwyer. That's why he's so hot. You love a glow up, don't you? I love a glow up. Well, anyways, I watched this movie on the plane called The Contractor starring my favorite Chris. I thought you were going to say you saw Don't Worry Darling. No, I haven't seen Don't Worry Darling.

Have you? No. So it's Chris Pine. It's Jillian Jacobs who was on Community and then also on I think the show is called Love. And then also Ben Foster who's an absolutely amazing actor. And here's the tag. Absolutely amazing actor. And here's the tag.

A discharged U.S. Special Forces Sergeant, James Harper, risks everything for his family when he joins a private contracting organization. Chris Pine in My Favorite Chris in The Contractor. Oh, also, you know who's in it? Kiefer Sutherland. Oh, love him. Yeah. He lives down the street from MT. Really? It's like a war movie, you know, or like a shoot-em-up Mission Impossible kind of a thing, you know,

where like Chris Pine should die 17 million times, but he's such a badass that he keeps on surviving. So, you know, it's not going to like win a bunch of Academy Awards, but The Contractor, very fun. Okay. Check it out. Love that. Have you watched any of Tell Me Lies on Hulu? No. What is that? I was really hoping you had. Tish and I talked about it a little bit last week because she loves it, but it's a new Hulu series. It's based on like a group of girls that are in college. They live in the dorm together or whatever,

or dating a couple of upperclassmen. It very good the lead girl i can't remember her name we were saying she's just a fucking breakout star like she's so good in this grace yes grace van patten um it's it's rated r to double r like it's like hbo level with the sex scenes if not worse yeah but it's very good and even though it's it And even though it's like college age and it's young, I don't know, I still really love it and relate to it a lot. Grace's character starts seeing this psycho, like sociopath dude that treats her like shit and she just keeps going back for more.

You know, we've all been there. It's very relatable. It's very good. The acting's good. I think even you would like, it's not really like a girly show. I think you'd like it. The story of a young woman's obsession with a man who is good

at being charming. Tell Me Lies on Hulu, which is the same platform Best in Doe is on, and Brandy's watching this show, but not mine. So there's that. this show, but not mine.

So there's that. My show has hotties too. Alright? Me. Me. Jerk. I watched Uncoupled. Have you seen that? Heard that? No, what is that? It's Neil Patrick Harris's

movie on Netflix. Okay. Michael's life seemed to be perfect until his longtime partner blindsided him after 17 years of being in a longtime relationship. He has to confront the nightmares of losing a soulmate and suddenly finding himself as a single gay man in his mid-40s.

Uncoupledpled a Netflix series. Very funny. I mean, Neil Patrick Harris is great. He is great. Sarah and I were playing a pretty fun game that I actually learned about from the Prince in game of Thrones, the bad,

the bad brother. Love him. And the game's called movie star or actor. Okay. You want to play? Sure. Brad Pitt, movie star or Actor?

What? Are there rules to this game? Well, I think it's like there are people who are massive movie stars. And then there are people who are like actors. They're craft. And they take themselves more seriously, I guess. I think that's kind of like the thought. Okay.

I'll give you an example. The Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt's a movie star. Right. I mean, he's a very good actor, but he's a movie star. Leo DiCaprio, he's an actor. Huh. You know, like he doesn't do superhero films.

Like he does like a lot of dramatic roles, you know, like bites into the work. Uh-huh. Yeah. Okay. So we'll play. Is one better than the other? No, I don't think so. They're both immensely famous.

I think one just considers like the craft of acting. Like Robert Downey Jr. is a movie star. Yeah. Joaquin Phoenix is an actor. I think. You know? Yeah. Agree.

Okay. So let's play. Okay. Chris Pratt. Movie star. Agreed. Yeah. Chris Pine.

Movie star. Yeah. I agree with that. Cameron Diaz. Movie star. Yeah. Ana de Armas. Ooh. Actor. Yeah, I agree with that. Cameron Diaz. Movie star. Yeah. Ana de Armas. Ooh, actor.

Yeah, okay. I think so. She's turning into a movie star. She is. It's borderline. Yeah, right. Every Ryan Gosling movie she did is borderline. Yeah.

She's so gorge. She's getting there. Natalie Portman. Actor. Yeah. What about Ryan Gosling? He kind of straddles. Yeah, he kind of straddles. But like Ryan Reynolds is a movie star. Actor. Yeah. What about Ryan Gosling? He kind of straddles. Yeah, he kind of straddles.

But like Ryan Reynolds is a movie star. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Ryan Gosling, though, kind of straddles. But then like Andrew Garfield, I think, is an actor. Yeah, I do too. Florence Pugh. I don't, I'm not as familiar with her, but I would say actor.

Yeah, I agree. What about Zoe Kravitz? Actor. Yeah? I think so. Okay. Kravitz? Actor. Yeah? I think so. Okay. That's a good one. She almost straddles too.

Michael Keaton. I think actor. Yeah. Bill Murray. Movie star. Yeah. He's a good actor though. He is a good actor.

Adam Sandler. Is he a movie star or is he an actor? Comedy is hard. Comedy is harder. And he's done Punch Drunk Love and some, and he's done like Punch Drunk Love and like some serious stuff. I never saw Punch Drunk Love. Should I watch that?

Yeah, it's sad though. I like sad. Yeah, okay. I have a question for you. Okay. How many holes does a straw have? I hate this question.

Why? I think one. Yeah? I think it's a continuous hole. Okay, then how many holes does a cup have? A cup? Yeah, like a cup.

One. But they're different. Yeah, but one's continuous and one isn't. How many holes do humans have? A male or a female? Yeah, I guess what I'm asking is how many holes are there from your mouth to your butthole? Oh, oh. Because, I mean, effectively that's one long straw, right?

I don't know. It's not continuous, really, though, like a straw straw you can see from one end to the other. Well, if you took the entire thing and stretched it out, but you're not stretching it out. Well, you could take a straw and crimple it up. Different. Why have tears? What do you think? I hate that question. Why? Because there's no right answer. And I like I like when there's a right and wrong answer yeah so have you seen the jeffrey dahmer show or no no i want to though everyone's talking about it everyone's talking about it you know what absolutely kills me on tiktok what the fucking

creators which i hate that word but whatever the creators who have no business giving anyone advice on anything, but still do it. And it comes to me, it's like, here are the three things you need to do to stay fit. And it's like, you're just like,

here are the three things you do to become rich. And I'm like, dude, you are on Tik TOK and you probably live in a condo. Like, I don't understand how you have any right to be telling people this. I need, I needed experts.

True. I don't need a girl who's 23 giving me life advice. Yeah, I feel that. I don't know if this happens to you, but TikTok thinks that I have ADHD. Like I have like every three things is about like ADHD. Do you have that? No, I do not have that. Damn it. But TikTok does listen to you. So maybe you've been talking about ADHD to somebody. No, but maybe I just am like, I'm all over the place. And my phone's like, I think he's got ADHD. Maybe.

Something's wrong with him. All I know is I just got to Denver. Yeah. I'm actually staying at Balake's. Oh, you are? Shout out Blondie Balake. I saw that. And we were sitting at the kitchen table last night talking about, apparently there's a thing called leaf peeping.

Do you know about this no but i assume it's you hide behind leaves and then look into the windows of people that's not what it is at all oh okay it's literally just like going to the mountains to watch to see the colors of the leaves change and they call it leafing they call it leaf peeping this is a real thing google it leaf pe Leaf peeping. I hate humanity so much. It's insane. Just say what it is. We're going to go fucking look at the leaves change colors.

No, no. It has an official term. Leaf peeping. Oh, my God. And Blake was like, oh, you came to Denver at the perfect time. Everyone's here for leaf peeping. And I was like, leaf what? Leaf peeping.

And I was like, I'm sorry. One more time. I was like, what is that? And he was like, it's literally you just go up to the mountains and you see the leaves are changing and they're so beautiful. And I was like, leaf peeping and I was like I'm sorry one more time and like I was like what is that and he was like it's literally you just go up to the mountains and you see the leaves are changing and they're so beautiful and I was like leaf peeping okay got in bed started to scroll through my phone like as I do every night and all of a sudden

every single TikTok video leaf peeping no every single one leaf peeping content this is a real thing I don't want to see that I think I might go tomorrow you should go but you should call it what it is, and that's, I'm going to go look at the fucking leaves changing colors. I'm not

a Gen Z. The leaf beeping kind of has a nice ring to it. Yeah, maybe so. We do have some voicemails. Oh yes, we should do that. Which, by the way, you guys need to call in and leave us a voicemail. Yeah, do we have the number to give to the YFTers?

858-63-1856. That's 858-630-1856. Hi. I'm just calling to share some of my favorite things. I just finished a really great book that, Wells, I think you would like. It's called Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. And it's about two childhood best friends who reconnect in college to create a video game and start a video game company. It takes place between like the 1990s

and like 2013. Really great story. My least favorite thing right now is probably fantasy football because it's just one heartbreaking week after another.

And do you know why? Because fucking fantasy football sucks, dude. It sucks. It's not fun. It's stressful. You got to do it every fucking week. You forget that you lose and then like your best player gets hurt. you win it fucking sucks and the odds of winning are like 1 in 12 or however many people in your league fucking don't do fantasy football i think it should be over don't do it anymore just watch football because you like it 1 in 12 isn't that bad of odds so much work it's not worth it i guess i actually wouldn't know anything about it all right we got another one here let's check it out hi welcome brandy it's me jessica um i love your show i've been listening to day one thanks um i'm obsessed obsessed obsessed with your show um from chicago hopefully you guys will do a live show here but my favorite

Dude, this is how old I am. When I went to school at Ole Miss, they used to be on a record label called Fat Possum Records, which is located in Holly Springs, Mississippi, which is about 30 minutes away from where I went to school. The Black Keys played this tiny little pizza shop called Proud Larry's, which is an amazing musical venue. Like I saw Beck there one time.

I saw Wilco there. Yeah. Oh. But yeah, I used to go and see them play all the time. Like, and they were playing for free, you know, like it was just like the music and the pizza joint, but yeah, they are, they're the best. Yeah. They killed it. And I mean, you say, you said you're getting old, but like there, I was shocked at how much older they were looking to me. Well, yeah. But they still fucking slayed.
