Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Time Has No Meaning

Episode Date: November 5, 2025

Welcome to November, YFT’ers — where the clocks are confusing, daylight gets banked, and the months make no sense. Why is October the 10th month when “octa” means eight?? Somebody call the damn Romans. Brandi’s had quite the week at the animal farm — horses fighting over toys and Happy the dog taking a very unhappy (and almost $5K!) trip to the emergency vet.Meanwhile, Wells and Sarah’s Halloween couples costume was long-distance perfection, the Louvre heist keeps giving us Hollywood-worthy updates, and Wells has serious questions about blood color. Blue or red — what side are you on? In the fave things round-up, Brandi’s got thoughts: House of Dynamite? “Hated it.” Weapons? “Spooky and good.” Plus some top picks like The Last Frontier, Welcome to Derry, and The Lowdown. So reset your clocks YFT’ers and let’s get into it.Thanks to our awesome sponsors for supporting this episode! Mood: Get 20% off your first order at Mood.com/YFT with promo code YFT.Quince: Treat your closet to a little summer glow-up with Quince.

This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. Okie dokey. Let's hop. O-F-T-F. Rod a rabbit on you, didn't I? We're in November now. So what is happening? We're in November.

This year's over. Sir, sir, this year is over. Which is a bummer because I feel like it just got going. Also, our calendar is stupid. We've screwed it up. October, octa, eight, should be the eight month. Why is the 10th? December, Deca, should be the 10th month.

Why is the 12th? If we had 13 months, it would divvy out perfectly to each month is 28 days long. And I think every month would start with a Monday or something like that. It's something like that that just drives me insane. Fix it. Just fix it. Who cares? Just fix it.

Just fix it. You should just fix it because it would make it work now. Oh, 28 days past September, June and November, whatever. Which one? This has 30 days. This have 31 days. How do I know I got to use my knuckles to count? Because that's the thing. That's how they taught me when I was a kid. No, just have it always be the same. And just make up a new month. New month can be called 13 going on 30. You know, whatever. I don't know. And then also time change. God dang it. Daylight saving. Not Daylight savings, daylight saving, because they're saving daylight. I don't know if they are, though. I feel like they're killing daylight now at the end of the day. It's getting lighter earlier, but darker earlier. I don't even know what it's doing. I'm going to myself a little bit of an avocado rice situation, just for some energy this morning.

It's like I do a bunch of podcasts today, and yeah. Let me just tell you a little great little kind of just quick hitter, probably really low calories, but good and like healthy fats, half an avocado, maybe two scoops of rice, a little bit of soy sauce, some hot sauce, a little bit of onion, mixed that all together, delicious. It's kind of like a deconstructed sushi roll. Give it to me. Yeah, boy wants it.

Your boy needs it. Your boy loves it. Anyways, I don't really know what I'm talking about. Brandy is going to be late today because the vet had to come. Look at a horse or something. It's always, you know, I never have the vet come and fuck up. the time of anything that I do because I take this show seriously.

I mean, I don't really, but I take it more seriously than the brand than the brandino. I do hope that the horse is okay. But also like, I feel like, don't you have like a stable boy? Stable boy, go talk to the veterinarian while I go record my podcast. Excuse me, stable boy.

Stable boy. Or your boyfriend. Matt's there. He can take a couple hours off of making a motorcycle. you know but no the show must go on and I'll do it myself I'm pretending like I'm angry

I don't really I don't really care do you remember when we were kids and they were like yeah the reason why the blood in your veins is blue is because it's not oxygenated and non-oxygenated blood is blue and then once it hits the oxygen it turns red I don't think that's true

I think that that is complete bullshit I'm gonna ask Brandy about it I think that's not true at all and I think that we were sold a false bill of goods. We were sold a lot of false bills of goods when I was a kid. Blood was blue until the oxygen hit it.

Number one. Number two, you get pulled over. Have you had the car light on at night? Oh, you don't? That's not a fucking thing. My parents told me that. Oh, we got pulled over. You got to turn that off.

What? Okay. Quick saying we all thought was going to be a much bigger deal than it really was. Still don't know why I know that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

All right? Don't know why I know that. It has never helped me in a single way, shape or form, to have known that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. And is it the same way is blood blue? I don't know.

I'm not sure if any of this is real. I'm pretty sure it's all a simulation of my own mind. If I am really a control of this simulation, Brandy will be ready, and we will call her right now. Your blood isn't blue, it's red. Uh, what's up? Still sick. dude you like one of those like Victorian girls that's like always sick okay so you know I did all my blood work yeah what did this say and it said I'm fucking fine it said my biological age is 26 and then I'm thriving

so I just don't understand what do you think it is well I think this one is the season changing you know okay so this allergy is not an actual sickness I think it well I don't know because I gave it to Matt he's really sick so I'm not sure it is an allergy but I think everyone seems to be sick like a lot of people around and it did just go from being like 80 sunny and beautiful to like it was below freezing last night you know like we just did the swap so i feel like people tend to get sick this time of year and kind of have this like funky sinusy thing i don't fucking know all no is i'm just trying y'all i'm trying to survive and then you got the the vet coming to what's wrong with the horse don't even get me fucking started on the animals what's going on with the animals

they're all ever since I've gotten home they're all just let me get myself hurt mode like it's been terrible I'll start out with last Wednesday I believe it was happy sweet little happy he's getting older he just like wasn't eating which is unlike him like he skipped like three meals and then that night I was sitting with him and I could just tell he was not right he was like shaking like just a dog or a yeah happy boy okay well I don't know it could be what I thought you were talking like The farm animals. All of them. They're all trying to die.

Happy, sweet happy. He was like his whole like back end was just shaky and I could just tell like something was very wrong with him. And I don't know. I just like Matt and I were like, so we fucking take him to the emergency vet and it was like, yeah, better safe than sorry, right? Like I just knew something was not right. Took him to the emergency vet here.

Complete waste of time. First of all, they were completely. useless and they tried to charge me $5,000 to keep happy overnight and give him fluids and like do an ultrasound the next morning. But like literally like they gave me a piece of paper with the quote, five grand because it was the emergency one. People can't pay that. That's so sad to me that like someone has to choose between maybe their pet dying because they can't pay $5,000 for a vet visit. Like I think that's absolutely rigorous. But anyway, I had them run blood work. We sat with him. We didn't get home until 1.30 in the morning. His blood work came back pretty okay.

He has chronic kidney disease, which I've known for a while at stage two. The blood work showed that it was still stage two and it wasn't that that was the problem. And they didn't see anything else on the blood work to like that was scary enough really for like, you know, him really need to stay overnight. So I chose to bring him home. I was kind of like, if he's going to die in the middle of the night, I'd kind of rather him be at home in my bed than like at the vet with no one he knows. Brought him home.

He slept through the night. The next morning, I got up and was like, okay, like maybe he's still not wanting his breakfast but I was like I made an appointment at our vet we'll just see maybe he's okay on the way to our vet that morning he starts projectile vomiting green liquid like absurd amounts like scary and so we're like flying to the vet they're five minutes away Matt picks him up and we're like running into the vet clinic with pappy just projectile vomiting to the point where I was like oh my god he's like there's something wrong you know long story short our vets who are lovely shout out to an amelia immediately diagnosed him with pancreatitis you ever had a dog have

that? No. Well, it's one of those things that if you catch it, it's very treatable. And like three to five days later, they're totally fine. But the fucking idiots at the emergency vet clinic, not one mention, not one mention of pancreatitis. All the vets, my vets had to do was look at the blood work, look at his symptoms, and say, I'm 99% sure this is pancreatitis. We'll take x-rays. It'll confirm it. Like, she knew right away. Like, I felt like the emergency place was like such a scam. Oh, it's 100% a scam. It's so sad. I just can't believe people can do that. Yeah. There's bad people out there. So he's, but happy's happy again. He's totally fine now. Thank God. But it was

scary that, I mean, he's old and he does have health problems. Like, Matt and I both were kind of thinking like, oh my God, this is it. Like it was very emotionally taxing. Then the next day, go down to the barn, ever my horse, my older mayor was collicking. That night had to take her to the emergency horse vet.

And because I was just so like, exhausted over the whole happy thing, even they were like, I think she's okay. And I was like, just fucking keep her. Much cheaper for the horses to stay overnight. And I was like, I just can't like not sleep tonight like she had I need someone to watch her so they I had to take her they watched her she's fine went back to get her the next morning she wouldn't get on the horse trailer she stepped on Matt's foot his pinky toe is now broken and then we came home and then this other

horse Nemo is like three-legged lame won't put any weight on his front foot he's been lame now for a week so that's what the vet was here this morning to see long story short he has really severe arthritis and I think like the shoe nails ended up just hit he I think he's got sensitive feet I think the showing made him lame so now that then Astra had to go to the vet um her and rain to a little scuffle over a toy and Astra cut her face and so she had to go like it's literally been a week of vet visits oh god that was exhausted well I'm sorry I'm exhausted and on top of all that I'm sick you know yeah yeah yeah you need to go to the to the emergency vet clinic I hate them yeah well anyways welcome to November thank God I'm ready for a new month new vibes yeah all right

do you like November I do yeah yeah yeah what third of dislike it's almost over like the year's almost over and then also ready for a new one i know but also what i don't like about november or whatever i run this time is that they changed the clocks because we we jumped forward or we bounced back i don't know what we did but all i know is is that i we fell back i went i got in bed last night at seven o'clock and i was like i don't know what's happening right now and then i realized five yeah dude i to be honest with you i got in bed at six but i didn't want to say that out loud so i said seven so i lied about it but anyway Great.

Yeah. So do you know how I'm feeling. But you know I have heard a reason for why daylight savings is better is good. I'll fucking hear it because I've heard a ton of reasons why and I still don't agree. I don't agree either. But so what it does is it makes it so when you fall back, it makes it so it gets lighter earlier, right? Mm-hmm. Yep.

I guess when they didn't have daylight savings, it was darker in the morning. and when kids were going to school, it was dark, and there were a lot more accidents with kids dying because it was dark and whatever outside. And so making it light outside when kids go to school cut down on fatalities on the interstate, I guess. Fascinating. So hearing that, I'm like, okay, I get it. But also, why can't you drive at night?

Do you? It annoys me because I don't know why we do it other than that thing about the kids dying. But then the other thing is, and I was talking about the YFT years about this before I called you, the thing that really grinds my gears are the months don't make any sense in our calendar, right? What do you mean? October, Octa, Octagon, 8. It's supposed to be the 8th month. It's the 10th.

December, Deca, 10. That's supposed to be the 10th month. It's the 12th. What the fuck happened there? And then we have 12 months. And then some have 28 days. Some has 31 days. And I don't ever know.

And it's, I got to use my. 30 days has September, April, June, and November, all the rest of 31. February alone. You never learned that rhyme as good? No, I knew the fucking, uh, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, on the knuckles. Anyways, that's dumb, but did you know if you just put in a 13th month, then you can take all those extra days and make every single month 28 days long and every start of the month starts on a Monday? I didn't know that, but do you think they don't do that because 13's an unlucky number? I don't hate that.

Not for Taylor Swift. What's happening here? We can do it. What annoys me is I think people are like, well, we can't change it now. We've been doing this for a while, but we can. We totally can change it now. Why not? I would be down with 13 months.

I would be too. What I am not down with is permanent fucking whatever time zone this is. What do you mean? Are we in standard time now? Daylight savings time is in the spring, right? Spring forward fall back. No, I know. But one of them is daylight savings time and one is daylight.

standard time. Oh, they're not both daylight saving? No, now I think we're on standard time. Really? When people talk about getting rid of the time changing, not only is that an argument, but the argument is do we stay in standard time or do we switch to daylight savings time? So right now we are in standard time. I don't really understand that. I guess when we spring forward is when we're saving daylight, I guess, because it stays light longer. I don't know. I hate this time zone. because I hate getting dark so early. I would rather stay in the last one, which is daylight savings time

because I like having light longer. I like having more of a day. And you don't care about kids dying on the highway. But all the fucking scientists are saying that if we're going to pick one, it has to be this one, the standard time. Our body clocks, I guess, go better

when getting lighter earlier. Fuck that shit. I like sleeping until 8 a.m. I want more daylight at the end of the day. Like, okay, maybe there's accidents in the morning for the kiddos, but then they come home in standard time and it's fucking dark

the minute they get out of school and they can't play outside. That's gotta be bad for them. Sing it. Anyway, that's my rant. I just want it to be 13 months. Why don't we do that? I don't know.

Would you take the 13 months and keep the time changing? Yes. Really? It would make it so easy. If every month started with a Monday, every month was 28 days, you just sing the rhyme

every time you want to know. Because just fix the problem. It's dumb. But we did it. Dumb. Should we shut the show? Yeah. Me or you.

Me, maybe? Go for it. Rose and hose. You're listening to your favorite thing podcast with. Well, it was brandy. Do, do, do, do.

Because I was in fucking hell over here with all these gosh dang animals. Oh, you were in the pet cemetery. Do you guys didn't celebrate? We did not. No, we didn't dress up. We didn't go anywhere. It was very sad. I was very sad about it. Halloween's my favorite holiday.

Yeah. Why did you have a party? did see that you guys successfully completed the task of, what do you call that thing? Tin can telephone? Tin can telephone. Tin can string phone. Yeah, it worked. It was good. You think so?

Did you? Could you understand? We had to put like the other slides of like, so like this is kind of what we're doing. I don't know. I feel like people got it. Yeah. People thought it was cute. If you guys hadn't done anything, people would have been very upset.

I know. You guys always do iconic how longing costume. Dare I say, the one you guys did at my Halloween party, the first year you were together. Was the best one. I know. I don't know. I think Taco Bell was pretty good where he dressed up as Bell. That was a close second for sure.

That was good. I also really liked under pressure when I was Freddie Mercury and she was David Bowie. That one was really, really good. Actually, I think I like that better than Taco Bell. That one was just like, we looked like those. And Sarah had like her makeup artists like come over and like do that one. I also really like back to the future. That one was good.

Because I spent $800 for a DeLorean to come to my house. I can't believe you did that. Best $800 I've spent my entire life and it's not even close. Wow. The neighbors the other day were walking by and they were like, when you get the DeLorean back? I was like, oh, man. You're like, I don't actually own that.

Hey, let me ask you a question. When we look at our veins on our arm, why are they blue? I can't say I look at mine often, to be honest. You can see your veins and you can see that they're blue. I think some people have different colored veins, right? I mean, some people's are more greenish than blue. Okay, whatever, greenish or blue? But blood's red.

So why is it blue? Blood is red, but it's a very dark red. So that's a different color than the blue vein I'm looking at. I know, but I feel like it's, I don't know. I guess the veins are blue. And then the blood is red inside. You weren't taught this as a kid, huh? Oh, no.

I also, like, fucking hated biology. Yeah. Because they made us dissect frogs and stuff, and I didn't like that. I was always told that the reason why the blood in your veins is blue is because it hasn't been oxygenated yet. And so once oxygen hits it, it turns red. That's not true, right? Well, that's what I was told forever. And that is not true at all.

And that really angers me greatly. blood does turn brighter red with oxygen. I know that because I've been doing ozone therapy, and my blood is dark red going into the thing. And then once I put the oxygen in, it's bright red going back in. Okay, let's ask chat GPT. Why are our veins blue when our blood's red?

Yeah, that's a really interesting question. The blood itself is always red, primarily due to the hemoglobin. But the veins look blue because of how light penetrates your skin and how your eyes perceive that light. the skin and tissue absorb more of the red light and scatter the blue light, which makes veins appear blue from the outside. It's basically an optical illusion. But I was told as a kid that

the reason why our veins are blue is because it's not hit oxygen yet. So that's not true? Yeah, that's a pretty common misconception. While it's true that deoxygenating blood is a bit darker red, it's still not blue. The color difference is more subtle and not visible through skin. So the blue appearance is really more about how light is scattered and perceived rather than the blood's actual color. Okay. Thank you so much. Who the fuck told you that about the oxygen? Dude, that's a, that's a normal thing for kids. That's what I was told. Yes. I was never told that. I was told that. And also, I went to a private school. Um, also I went to, I went to scale yeah maybe so i was told this but then also i've seen on tick to the reason i'm talking about is

i'm seeing on ticot and it's a thing that like a lot of people are talking about oh they're also like i thought it was because of the oxygen like once once you cut your hand then it hits the oxygen it turns red no it's not anyways that's annoying yeah have you seen okay remember last week we were talking about the lube heist and how much i love heists and i wish there were more heists yes and yeah i don't condone violence or stealing or thieving of any of any kind of kind of do i kind of love a heist i don't want you to do it to like a personal property but like you know the louvre half that stuff is stolen from under developed countries anyways you know that is true probably probably i don't really know um actually i've been to the louvre it's lovely but i'm sure a bunch of that stuff

stolen you know what so the stealer can be the stealer the stealer the steeler can get stolen from yeah it happened anyways i just wanted to know if you saw the Louvre suspect? No. Okay, because you remember how handsome the Louvre detective was. I do remember that. How could I forget? Did anyone dress up as him for Halloween or no?

I think so. This story is the story that keeps on giving. They're definitely going to make this a movie. There's a part of me that wonders if this is all of Hobba City stunt. Very possible. Here are the two suspects. Look how handsome. Is that Chase Crawford on the right?

That's what I'm saying. Is this the cast of Gossip Girl? Wait, that looks just like Chase Crawford. Are you sure this is real? This is what I saw on social media, so it's got to be real. No, this cannot be real. The guy on the left, I have seen that that is the suspect.

The one on the right, that's Chase Crawford. The one of right might be Chase Crawford, but the one on the left, I think, is the suspect. Interesting. See, none of this is real. Paris police have arrested two men suspected of stealing priceless jewels from the Louvre Museum. Look at this guy.

This guy's even, he's going to be more handsome. I agree. But also, is this real? Who cares? It's amazing. Not only was there a Louvre heist, okay, where they stole jewels, not only did they get away, not only is the detective looked like he's straight out of a damn brown novel with the waistcoat and the trench coat and the umbrella and the hat, okay? but the suspects are better looking than Danny Ocean and whatever Brad Pitt's character's name was in Ocean's 11.

You can't write this stuff, which makes me think it is maybe a movie. Like what an amazing marketing plan this would be if it was a heist movie about stealing from the Louvre and then... Maybe it is. I know. And also, if it's not, this is a good idea for someone to do it. Totally. So go talk to like the Sistine Shat.

Apple and be like, hey, we're going to, we're going to pretend to steal some shit, all right? We're going to, it's a whole thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that's the thing that's like, you're telling me that that guy is the detective, that guy. That part's more unbelievable, I think. And then you're like, you're telling me those guys are the guys we're going after? This all seems something out of central casting, all right?

It does. It's too perfect. It is. It could be a little more diverse, I suppose. Hmm. And it's also real men heavy. I'm thinking for sure there'd be a female letter. Yes.

You know? Yeah. With like tattoos and like a mohawk or something, like half her head shaved, you know, like real edgy but also kind of cute. Weirdly enough, you know, at the end of it, she becomes a turncoat and she ends up hooking up with the detective. Or the detective gets pulled over to their side and they start doing more heists together in Paris. So then the detective can be like not solving the cases because. Because he's a part of it. I'd watch it.

Okay. We've done this before, but I saw this recently, and I just really loved it. It's a thread about birds and bird names. Oh, you know, your bird bit really went over well last week. Did it? Oh, yeah. People liked it? People loved it.

All right. That's good. Birds are just named stuff like hot-breasted milf and no one does anything about it. So funny and so true. Bird names continue to be completely unregulated. fluffy back tit babbler black-throated bush shit

bush tit black-throated bush tit I initially read this as black-throated bullshit I don't accept that that's honest to God name oh shit my favorite species of birds are the ones named by

people who clearly hate birds. This one. Drab seed eater. That's a drab bird. We'll call it a drab seed eater. What's it eating? Seeds. Men will literally name all the birds instead of going to therapy.

Boobies, swallow, pendulum tits, European shag. Okay, the word tit must mean something in a different language for so many birds to be called this. Yeah. somber tit they prefer the term gone refused to believe these are real spangled drongo schmew rumped bush tyrant perplexing shrub wren schmoo yeah that's a fucking schmoo

or anthologist, okay, the dick's, the dick sissel, the hoary puff leg, the fluffy back-titted babbler, and the horned screamer. Why do we, why even go into this light of work? This bird's name is go away bird. This is insane. I said, go white bird. Go white bird. What's read David? I don't know.

Go away for it. Saw a cool bird googled it. What was called? Laughing my ass off. Hate oranthologist. Yellow-headed black bird. As you age, it's ridiculous how fast bird watch it creeps up on you. You spend your whole life being 100% indifferent to birds.

And then one day you're like, Is that a yellow rumped wallbler? Is that a schmoo? Extremely important announcement. I've just discovered a white-browed tit warblers exist. If unicorns were birds, they'd be these birds. It's very pretty. Yeah, that looks like an acid trip.

Go away, bird. Anyways, I thought that was interesting. It is very unregulated, I got to say. Ornithologists, is that what they're called? Ornithologists? Yeah, they must be a wild. bunch. I don't really like that name for them either. Yeah, bird namer. Let's call them that. Yeah. They get a special name, but the names that they give, the birds aren't special?

All right, you guys, I feel like everyone's talking about claustrum, you know, in a world where, like, health is just so popular right now i feel like this word's getting thrown around a lot but i am a big fan of it mostly because it's just so easy to implement into my routine i have really fallen in love with cowboy colostrum cowboy colostrum takes a primal whole body approach to wellness with natural clean and built to work with your body not against it colostrum is often called liquid gold it's the first nutrition we get at birth it's packed with immune factors growth compounds and nutrients that you're body still craves today. And especially during seasonal changes, like right now, obviously I'm sick from it. Your body's defenses can be run down. That's me. Those immune factors make all the

difference. So I just started putting it in my smoothies every day. If you guys aren't big on smoothies, you can also mix it into your coffee or even just your milk. I think my gut is messed up and I'm about to do a gut test to prove that. But Colostrum was one of the first things like recommended to me for gut health.

things you recommended. Okay. All right, this fucking movie with Rebecca Ferguson about the missile putting the earth. You didn't like it? Wells. It was fucking terrible. What?

It was a complete waste of time. What are you talking about? We fucking hated it. There was no resolution. You didn't even get to see if the missile hit the fucking earth. That's the point of the whole thing is that you have to decide.

No, I hated it. Yeah, but... Matt hated it. I've seen multiple people on TikTok hating it. Complete waste of my time. And like, so fucking crazy that all of these actors signed on for this. I mean, the cast was stacked.

I know. And we were just so disappointed. Well, what's it called? House of Dynamite. House of Diamond. Okay, so like, did you not like the end of like Sopranos for the same reason that you had to like actually figure out what you thought happened? I've never seen that show. Okay.

Well, this is not a new thing. This is not a new thing. No, I know. But like, God, they got, they didn't give us anything. I don't know if that's true. nothing. What do you think happened? I don't fucking know. I literally have no idea.

Okay, but what do you think happened? Like, it was looking like the president was getting pressured into doing it, doing something he didn't want to do. I feel like the missile could have hit the earth and not exploded. The missile could have the earth and killed everybody. Like, but also all the side things, like the guy that jumped off the building, he's just dead. That seemed stupid.

What if the missile hit and no one and it didn't do anything and then you killed yourself for no fucking reason? What a fucking idiot. it. And then also her husband and kid that she sent to drive West, never saw them again. It was just too much that was unresolved. I just really hated it. And going back and seeing it from all the different perspectives would have been cool if we saw what happened. But because we never saw what happened to anyone, I felt like it was all just a complete waste of my time. Oh, my God. I disagree. I think what, I mean, I understand it would make me feel better if I didn't

have to come up with what ended up happening or think of what happened. But that thing that, I don't think that's the point of it. Well, I hated it. Well, sorry. The point of it is to then have this conversation to be like, what do you think happened? I'll tell you what I think happened. What? I don't think he retaliated.

You can't even really, like, discuss that, though, before you find out if the missile hit or not. No, he has to make the decision before the missile hits. Well, he doesn't have to. They just wanted him to. Okay. What I'm telling you is I think that he doesn't make that decision. And it might be the detriment of our country and we might end up looking weak and then just getting bombarded by everyone else. But I think it's a story of like the hope of the human spirit that they believe in the goodness of people over the evil of people.

So that's what I think. I think that character is getting pressured by the general and a lot of people. But I don't think he wants to make the decision. and I don't think he does. I don't know if that's true or not. But I do think it's fun to be like, that's what I think happened. I think that's what you wished happened.

But you know what would really happen? We would have fucking nuked everybody. Sure, but it's not real. Story. And you get to decide. It's a choose your own adventure. Hate it. All right.

Well, I'm sorry. I liked it. And I'm going to stand by it. I mean, I know a lot of people don't like that. They want resolution. But I think that you're missing the point. You know what I love. Okay.

What? We wanted a spooky movie to watch on how watched weapons holy shit it scared the shit out of me yeah it's good it is good

because it's like it's not like it's not that scary no but the the way they did the faces it's such a fine line I feel like to make

things cheesy and not scary you know what like the special effects makeup and stuff when you do something like a ghost or a witch or zombie

like there's just such a fine line between something actually being scary and just being so fucking cheesy they did an incredible job

incredible job like the closest I can think of it was like stranger things that first season when you saw those fucking things for the first time it's like holy fuck that's actually scary yeah um but i really loved it and it was a long movie and sometimes that i when they're slow and long like that they just don't hold my attention i was locked in matt loved it i loved it 10 out of 10 apparently the witch in it you know the woman apparently they are going to have a prequel for her which is so good because you want

because you're like where how did you get to this part and like what how do we get here but isn't the ending of that movie so satisfying? Oh, it's so good. So good. That's the thing I loved about it is like things happen to that movie that you like, like most people would be like, we can't do that. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like what?

We can't have children mutilating and killing somebody. Like that would be crazy. But that's why it's so good. Yeah. That scene of them just all chasing after. Incredible. It's so good. It's so good.

Can you imagine being with those kids being like, okay. So fun. This isn't real glass. It's sugar glass. You can just run through it. Just fucking go as fast as fast as you. you can they'll be like yes i'll do that anyways yeah i'm glad you liked it yeah it was really really good i started the last frontier last night and i really liked it finally have you

started it oh i'm caught up i've been watching it oh really i mentioned it this weeks ago i feel like jason clark has been on my tv non-stop for the past like month and a half he has i really like him. I mean, he's the, he's Alec Murdaugh in the Murdaugh thing that I'm watching on Hulu. Oh, is he? He's in this. He was in the, Dynamite. He was in House of Dynamite, which you loved. But yeah, last frontier. It's like Con Air, um, meets 24 meets. A little bit, yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, meets like a live. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. Anyways, follows Frank Remnick, a U.S. marshal in charge the quiet and weathered barons of alaska as he needs to deal with with a prison transport plane crash full of violent inmates inside his jurisdiction the last frontier that

scene when they get to the plane crash for the first time great scene great scene hard to watch yeah because i was like oh they probably all did like escape and then the guy's like we got it we got a live one he's like ambush and then it just oh yeah Oh, dude. Anyways. So good. So did you only watch episode one? Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay. There's a pretty big twist very early in the show. I'm excited for you to see. Great show.

I watched Welcome to Dairy. It's HBO's New Sunday Night Show. And it's just basically taking place in the Stephen King world, which most of his stories are in Derry, Shawshank Haven. It's all like in Maine. The first episode, it's great. And it's very Stephen King. But it's also like, I could see you being like, this is so dumb. Going back to your thing of like sometimes horror can be like over the top is a little bit of that. But in like the Stephen King kind of trope, it's very fun because it's about a bunch of young kids having to deal with it and all the monsters and all the things, you know? I like it. If you're a Stephen King fan, get on Welcome to Derry. I think there's two episodes out now. Oh yeah. They put out a special one on Halloween. I haven't seen that one yet, but I'm

excited for it. Okay. Yeah. Have you heard about this whole YouTube and Disney ESPN ABC feud? No. Oh my God. Let me tell you some tea, sister. Tell me some tea. Okay, so you know how a lot of people will have YouTube TV? Yes. And it's like 75 bucks or whatever and it's like basically you get everything. I don't know. I don't have it. I don't have it either. What do you have, DirecTV? I don't have cable. How do you watch sports? I don't watch sports. Yeah. Okay, fair Now, how does Matt watch sports? Matt does not watch sports either. All right.

All right. No sports watching in this house. You know what? Here's the fucking thing. If I'm going to watch a sport, I want to go see it live. Fair enough, but sometimes you got to watch it. You didn't watch the World Series? No.

Dude, the World Series was amazing. I should talk about the world. It's so boring, especially on TV. I know. It's like these guys, it's like these guys are still playing baseball. playing baseball. Fuck forever. They guys are still playing baseball.

But the World Series was great. Game 7 in Toronto, the Dodgers coming back and winning. That was crazy. I got real drunk. That was very fun to watch that actually. But anyways, the YouTube Disney, ESPN, ABC thing. So Disney has taken all of their, taking ESPN, have taken Disney and have taken ABC off of YouTube TV because they say that YouTube TV isn't.

paying them enough for their stuff. And I think it's really, Disney's really just trying to like solidify like owning this market of like, you get Disney Plus and you pay for all these things and you get them or whatever. But they want more money and YouTube TV is like, no, we're not going to do it.

So I think they've got like 10 million subscribers. YouTube TV has said they will pay, they will pay every subscriber $20 because they've done this because this has happened to them. Well, if you're just doing the math, that's like $200 million. So you're telling me that it's cheaper to pay everybody. To give everyone $200 million than to pay Disney what they want. That seems like a lot of money Disney wants.

It does. YouTube TV is owned by Google, so you're fucking rich. And then Disney, it's like, okay, you're rich. It's like, you guys are both the most rich people ever. It seems like you guys are just all greedy. And my thing is, is that, you know, it'll be real great guys. We all just went back to what we had. before it was cable if it was just cable again it does sound good but then well I guess though you can

like record cable and watch it later I heard this argument that the holidays have really taken a hit because scheduled programming doesn't exist anymore like you'd come home and you'd watch like the five part series during the holidays or whatever and it would be appointment viewing for the family to kind of sit around and watch now that we don't have that because you can just binge everything at the same time, it's making like a less of a communal thing. I can see that. And yeah, and I kind of do miss the like, oh, you know, it's Wednesday nights on NBC is friends.

Yeah. But it just makes it hard, so hard for me to watch Dancing with the Stars. Yeah. Because I can't ever watch it live. I'm never, well, I don't cable, but obviously, I do have Disney Plus. But like I can't ever, I'm not here to watch it live. So it's like if I couldn't stream it later, I just never get to watch it. they got to make an app that figures out like so i have disney plus and then i also have

ESPN and then i also have Hulu am i paying three times why i should be paying yeah why don't you just bundle it i because i don't know how to do that yeah you just go on like i think you can do it through Hulu go on to Hulu and say i want to bundle all three yeah go under your account on Hulu and your subscription and there's like a whole bundle for all three of those things yeah I'm a little slash very late on it But do you remember How fucking huge season one of The Last of Us was? Yes

I mean fucking huge Like weekly people were like Breaking down episodes and just like talking about it weekly And it was just this huge thing And this season two came out and no one fucking talked about it Do you like do you know this? I talked about it on this show Yes I did I love it

Like it was a blip Well I watched it and talked about it I mean, it was, you talked about it for like a blip. Like one episode, you were like, yeah, I'm watching season two the last rest. And then that was it. And, like, we just never heard about it from anyone ever again. And I just think that's crazy for how big season one was. But I just started season two last night.

Okay, there's no way that it was a blip because something really big happens at the end of season two that, of course, I had to talk about. I think I maybe went away while you talked about it so that you wouldn't ruin it for me. Oh, okay. Maybe that's, maybe that happened. Yeah, okay. Well, like, season one, we were like weekly. We were like breaking down episodes and talking about it. And not just us, but like everyone.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you fell off because I watched that freaking thing obsessively. I did fall. But I didn't see any TikToks about it. I didn't see anybody other podcasts talking about it. Well, season two is good. Like, I'm excited about it. Yeah, but you're going to be annoyed at the end of it.

I'll tell you that much. You're going to be very annoyed. Okay. But I am excited about that season three. Great show. The last thing that I started watching last night, which is it's just very fun new Ethan Hawke show called The Lowdown. It's on FX or on Hulu. A determined bookstore owner in Tulsa, Moonlights as an investigative journalist digging into local corruption. When his reporting uncover sinister connections, he must protect both his family and the truth. The lowdown, starring Ethan Hawk. The cast is pretty great. Keith David, who's been in a ton of stuff. Janine Triplehorn is in it. Obviously, Ethan Honk. Tim Blake Nelson, who is in like, Oh, Brother Where Art thou is in it.

It's got a little bit of like Big Lebowski to it. Okay. Kind of like an anti-hero hero piece of garbage, but he might be the best of it. You know, it's like one of those things. I'm only one episode in. I also just like love Ethan Hawke. I think he's a fantastic actor. So I'm going to stick with it and I will report back.

Okay. I'm caught up on murder. He's 11. I mean, I know what's going to happen, but. Yeah. You know, that's all I got. Schmoo. Go away, Bird.

Shmoo. All right. What's coming up for you? Next week, I'm going to New York. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Might need to try to see Sarah's show. Got to. Going to New York for the Landman Season 2 premiere.

And then next weekend, I am playing in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Ooh. Who's Alabama playing that week? That's a great question. I'm not sure. But it's the 14th, Friday the 14th. So hopefully somebody good. And hopefully the club is lit after.

Because otherwise, I would be worried about playing in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. But since it's football season, I think it's going to be a pretty good show. So that's exciting. And that's kind of my last show through Thanksgiving. I'm at home. And then I'm kind of gearing up for NFR in December, national finals rodeo, Calvoy Christmas. I'll be there both weekends. Very exciting.

Kind of my favorite time of year, to be honest. Like, what more could you want? Rodeo, Vegas. It's just so fun. And then Christmas and then like a new year, which is really exciting. Nice. How about you? Nothing really, but not this week, but next week, Sweet Empire starts, my Food Network show.

So I need everyone. I need everyone just go turn it on, all right? We need ratings, okay? But then also tweet about it and Instagram about it. Can you stream that or is like a cable only type situation? Well, I believe you can watch it. Well, yeah, you can watch on cable on the Food Network. But then I think it's also on like Discovery Plus and HBO.

I think that's where it is. Okay. So check it out over there. Please watch it. 11-9, Sweet Empire, I'm hosting it. Great title, great name. Wait to you hear my voiceover of this cartoon that we have to do. Oh, I can't wait.

It's going to be, watch them be like, we've got to get someone else to do this, then I'm not the one, does it? I know there's going to be just a little tinge of dirty grandpa in there. When I said it to Sarah, when I said to Sarah at first, she was like, I hear dirty grandpa, and I'm like, yeah, you do. I got three different voices, and they all kind of. to have the DG in it.

Oh, yeah. All right, well, I have two years. Well, we love you very much. We haven't taken any calls in a while. So, 858, 630, 1856. Please leave some voicemails, some favorite things. Holidays are coming up, so your favorite things about the holidays,
