Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - To all the Cowboys in Newport Beach

Episode Date: February 25, 2026

Kicking things off this week with a little Nintendo era freestyle, because nostalgia is good for the soul! Your hosts launch right into the pros and cons of Cameo - hit Wells up for your next birthday. Next up is a review of the new Bachelorette men - and you better get yourself a cold drink first, because these guys are getting ROASTED. But seriously, they had it coming - a cowboy from Newport Beach?? And why are there so many “entrepreneurs”?  Brandi calls bs. They catch up on Traitors (Ron Funches = delight, Natalie = badass, Season 4 = elite), debate whether Wells needs a Survivor podcast, and spiral into TV and movie takes — Knights of the Seven Kingdoms, Wuthering Heights, Begonia, A Midnight Sky (tears were shed at the end), plus whether pitched up Morgan Wallen secretly sounds like Miley.

This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. How'd we doing? My voice is gone. All right. I was up late last night. I had drinks with friends. And I know what you're saying. Wells, you said that you were not going to be drinking as much this year.

And that's true. I have slowed down. But every once in a while, I award myself and I afford myself a night out. And that's what I did. Okay? Once a week is what I'm trying to do once a week. I think that's pretty good. You got to let some steam off, you know, every once in a while.

You gotta chill out. Just what I was doing. Anyways, let's call the brand day. Let's cut her up. Let's do it. It's time to color now. Hello. How's you doing?

Doing. I feel like there is a lot to catch up on. What do you say that? Oh, just lots of television. Yeah. That I've watched that we need to talk about. You came prepared to this show? I mean, it was just one of the.

Those weeks. What? It's happening here. Well, you didn't. You're hungover, right? I am hungover. And I was telling the YF tears. I awarded myself a night out last night. I had a good time. But I have been a very good boy since coming back. I just one night a week is the, I got to let off some steam.

I got drunk one night, all right? Oh, okay. Where were you, the club? Yeah, I was like, yeah, I was the club. And then I came back here and continued drinking with friends, you know. Ah, I don't know, because I don't really do that. You don't have friends? No.

Yeah. The older I get, just, you know, they seem to dwindle. The number just gets smaller. Yeah, you're being more selective, I think, and I think that's a good thing. Yeah, also, you know, everyone's got lives and got husbands and got kids and got their own shit. And I just feel like, you know. You don't have that. I don't have that.

Not now. I'm chilling. You're chilling. I mean, listen, sometimes I'm busy, you know, but I got to say, it is so nice to come home to a quiet house without kids screaming. There's nothing better. Oh, there's just nothing better. Every time I talk to someone who's got kids and they're like, oh, it's so amazing. And I'm like, okay.

And then they'll give me like a 45 minute sob story about how much it sucks and they can never play golf and never hang out and they can never do anything because their kids are just thinking about it. I'm like, you're not making a great pitch to me for to do this whole thing. But you know what? Misery loves company. And that's why they all want us to have kids because they want us to also be stuck at the fucking birthday parties and all the stuff that you got to go do. You know? Totally. I'm not falling for it.

Which is why I have said, I'm not having kids until I'm rich enough to have someone else raise them for me. That's the rule. Yeah, that's the play for sure. I need some German woman named Old. who is my opair, not a nanny, opair, because that's how I was raised. Oh, look how that turned out.

I was, I'm great. I have no issues, but I was raised by an opair. Yeah, my mother, she was, I was the youngest of five, she was done with us, you know? Yeah, yeah, that's what happened with Noah, too. She was the last one and just it was, it was,

they're like, we don't care anymore. No. You had all the rules. Take it. Yeah, you had all the, the rules. You're my brother. My brother's like, everyone was always watching me and yelling at me and I was always in trouble and no one cared about you. And I was like, okay, but they cared about you. They literally never paid attention to me. I mean, that's how it works. And that's why I am the way I am. I

constantly need attention because no one ever gave it to me. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, actually. Yeah. It worked. I mean, you can say that it's because I'm a total. Oris or something, you know, there comes something like that. But I think it's more birth order than when I was born. Yeah. I mean, it's both. But yeah. Did you see my Instagram story today?

I think I had to, like, call me crazy. Is it just me or am I the only one that frequently watches Instagram stories and TikTok with no sound? Do you do that? I do with TikTok a lot because a lot of TikToks have the, has the captions. So I can just read it. But also, why do I want to do that?

I don't know. I think I just mindlessly end up doing it. Yeah. That's what I was doing when I saw your Instagram story. So I saw it, but I had no idea what you were talking about because the volume was off. Okay. So I do cameo. I'm not embarrassed. I did see that.

Forever I didn't do it because I was like, that's lame. If someone wants a video, I'll do it. And then I think I was with Johnny Bananas. He was like, I made $200,000 last year. I was like, what? What? I was like, you're telling me I could buy a car? or a house with this?

I can't believe he's that relevant still, but go get after it. I know. By the way, I do not make that. What happens is, you know, if for those of you that don't know what cameo is,

effectively that, like, you can go and find your favorite celebrity and they can, like, do a personalized video for you or for, like, a loved one, right?

And, uh, you, so when you do them, you get, like, reviews, right? Like,

you have to do it in a certain amount of time and these, be like, in 24 hours, and then you can get, like, stars or whatever. And then people can, like,

right, like reviews being like he was great or he was terrible or whatever, you know. And so I got a review today and I thought it was so funny. But I posted it and now everyone's saying one thing in my DMs about it. So I just want to, I'm going to read it to you. Okay. And then see if you say the same thing. First of all, subject line, Valentine's Day video, five stars. We love it, right?

Quote, I have purchased two cameos thus far, one from Adam Wells, and one from the TLC's a thousand pound sisters. One was thoughtful, genuine, funny, and everything else you could only hope for. And one was having a cigarette in a dark room. Adam is the greatest. And so I wrote, confusing ego check from someone buying a cameo from you, not knowing your name, but also still giving you a compliment. So anyways, I posted that, so I thought it was funny.

And now everyone, every YFT here is DMing me the exact same thing. And I wanted to know what you think everyone is saying to me. Are they saying, did Miley Cyrus ask you to buy a cameo from you? They were like, 100% this is Miley fucking with you. And like, I know, I would say there's a chance except for the fact that she is currently filming the Hannah Montana 20 anniversary special. Ooh. Is this a scoop? No, it's all over the internet. Oh, it is?

Yeah. Yeah, I know it's not her, but there's a part of me that's like, man, it would be so great if it was. Like, it would be a great price. I'm going to pay $150 just to write their fucking review. But I also don't know if she watches TLC's 1,000 pound whatever. I kind of wouldn't be shocked if she does. Yeah. Watch is a good bit of like trash reality TV, you know?

Yeah. By the way, speaking of reality TV, did you see that they released the guys for the new season of The Bachelorette? I did not. But I was thinking the other day, it seems like it has been a very long time since we've had any episodes of any Bachelor show. Yeah. And it seems like this Taylor Frankie Paul season is taking forever to come out. Yeah, I feel like let's hurry up already. Yeah.

I kind of was thinking, like, is it on and no one's talking about it? When does it premiere? I think next month. All right, do you want to see the guys? Love to. So we've got... He's a Mormon. Is he a Mormon?

I mean, he's from Salt Lake City. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That guy, his name's Lou. But not spelled L-O-U. Yeah. Spelled Lou L-E-W. I don't like that at all. No, I don't either.

I hate that, okay? Not a big fan of that guy. Malik, Malik looks like he's got some swag. Okay, yeah, tech exec. We like that. Yeah, he looks like he could be short, though. Am I wrong? Because I feel like Lou is taller than...

I mean... Yeah, who knows. There's no way to know that from these photos, but sure. No way to know. Malik and I like that name. We got Marcus. All right. All right.

This guy looks like he's got a cool story. See, creative director could go one of two ways for me. It could either be like a made-up job. Yeah, unemployed. Like, he has no... job or he could actually be a sick creative director for some sick brand. If his style was a little bit better, I'd be like, he might be a creative director for some fashion thing because he's got a cool look, but I'm not sure about that shirt. Yeah. I don't know. Anyways, we got Matt. This guy looks

like he sucks, but I bet you he's cool. Do you know what I'm saying? I think. I mean, he lives in Indiana, which to me is a red flag. Yeah. And he's a real estate broker. That's another red flag. Yeah. Michael. Okay. Chiropractic healer. I'm here for that. Now let me tell you what. That is someone you want living in your household.

Really? That is useful. If you have a man that's a chiropractic healer and can work magic on you consistently and like I'll sign up for that. Yes. Yeah. Love it. Crack my ass and crack my back, Michael.

That's right. But also you can just be a chiropractor. Healer makes me think this is better. This makes me think this is bullshit. This isn't a real thing. Well, he lives in San Diego. I feel like they do things a little differently down there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mike T. Brand production manager. Are they making up jobs now? That's a made-up job. That's a made-up job. Mike T. That means there's multiple mics, though, that we're getting a last initial.

I'm sure he's lovely, but he looks like he could be a villain. He does. Yeah, he's fine. Richard, a photographer. See, male photographers are an immediate red flag for me. Really? Because why?

They just, they... I've shot with a lot of them. And there's something about male photographers that are just like a little bit like, like, icky. I don't know if I've shot with any male photographer that I thought was straight. Yes, it's the straight ones that are icky. Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, they're creepy, I'm sure.

I love the gay. The gay ones are like, you want to put some music on? Let's do it. Like, yeah. The straight male viewer, that's a good... I should have made that clarification in the beginning. The straight male photographers give me the egg.

Yeah, for sure. Rod. Ooh, I like Rod. He's got good dimples. Entrepreneur means he has no job. Yep, unemployed. All right. So far, I don't know if anyone has a job. Definitely not.

Except the tech exec. Yeah. Stuck with me. Yeah. Okay, we got Ron. Account executive from San Francisco. Kind of believe that he actually might have some money. Yes.

He is only 28, but... He's a tech guy for sure. Yeah. Right? Definitely. Oh, yeah. Okay. I like Ron.

Shane. Private wealth planner. In Atlanta? Okay, if that's true, I'm here for it. If you're just an accountant and you're calling yourself a wealth planner, I don't love it. Yeah. Yeah, also like, but you're also maybe more like a financial officer, but okay. Yeah, I don't know. He's cute though. Trenton.

Pro athlete. Next. Oh, San Juan Capistrano, where the women flock, like, like, like, what? Dude, I got to say, I'm sure he's a lovely guy and I'm sure we have to deal with all these people in paradise at some point. The necklace is a red flag. Necklace outside the shirt guy? Come on. What are we doing here? Let's tuck that in.

You can have a necklace, not outside the shirt. That's right. All right. So those, A Ron, another necklace outside the shirt, but this one is. He's definitely a Mormon. Definitely a Mormon. 100% Mormon from Vineyard Y. Utah with the cross necklace.

Yes. This, yeah, this man is wearing his undergarments. 100% is going to soak with Taylor Frankie Paul. You know, I'm really upset. I needed to talk to Scott, the showrunner of the show, like, I should get to go. I should get to go to the fantasy suites and shake the bed for them. You know? Yeah.

Brad. Cowboy. No. entrepreneur from Newport Beach. What? It's all made up. None of that is real. None of it's real. So what do you do?

Well, I'm a cowboy, but I'm also an entrepreneur. Where do you live in Texas? In Newport. Okay, that's all of lie. Brandon, a loan officer. A lot of financial guys, I feel like. Yeah, I'm not mad about that as long as they all actually have jobs. Spearfish, South Dakota.

Something tells me he's maybe first. from there, doesn't currently live there, but what do I know? Yeah. I'm also thinking Mormon spearfish, South Dakota? Possible. What's happening up there? You've been to the Dakotas? No.

Me neither. Casey from Nashville, Tennessee, baby. Do you know this guy? I do not. No, he's way too young for me to know this guy. Mechanical engineer. Okay, so he's smart and he's making money. Mechanical engineers do really well.

See, to me, he looks like he is a struggling musician on Broadway. He looks like a guy. that is going to be hitting on my girlfriend at, what's the bar on Demumbrian that everyone goes to? Oh, not Ten Roof? Tin Roof. He looks like a guy that's going to be at tin roof. Definitely.

Hitting on my girlfriend and I'll be like, dude, stop. Absolutely. Christopher, ooh, with the cardigan. What's Vacaville? Is that made up? Vacaville. I'm from California. I've never heard of that place.

I think he's making shit up too, business owner in Vacaville. He doesn't have a job either. How do you feel about men with nose rings? I mean, I have one, so it's hard for me to say that it's an ick, but I've never really been into men that have piercings. Interesting. For some reason. Clayton.

Singer-songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee. Oh, my God, wait, I think I do know him. He's age-appropriate. for me to know though so at least there's that he looks short too is he short yeah he's nice though he's very nice yeah yeah yeah he's so he's really nice he is short

but you know what he is actually a singer songwriter well yeah and he's also I'm sure he waits tables too at brick tops no offense Clayton I also waited tables at brick tops oh geez and and Brandy was at Jay Alexander's not believe he's going on

the show wait do you know him like really well no not very well I met him at my friend Ryan Bollazet's wedding a couple of years ago, a few years ago. What is time? And I run into him here and there. He's friends with like the overstraits and stuff. Court?

Yeah. Oh, we got to get on the show. Yeah. All right, let's do it. Great. All right. Up next, Conrad. You know, I kind of wish that I had blocked out what they say so we could say what I think

that they do because this guy looks like a real estate agent. Oh, totally. Like if this guy isn't selling me a duplex or a two bathrooms, one bath, condo on the east side, I don't know what he's doing. But he's a startup founder in Santa Monica, California. Yeah. Startup founder in Santa Monica? What? That's not where you do startups.

No. Doug. Ocean Lifeguard. Finally someone's being honest. Because pool lifeguard would have been icky. Yeah. Yeah. So he's like, I'm Baywatch, dude.

Yeah, exactly. prognosticating right now, if you're telling me that this guy's intro package isn't him running slow-mo on the fucking beach la Baywatch with that can thing, that red can thing, you're crazy. Definitely. I like this guy. Do you? I don't like a shirt. I don't like a shirt either, but I, first of all, I love the name Doug. Fan of Doug.

That's a good name. I feel like this guy's cool. I don't know why. I don't know why. Johnny. A former pro baseball player, Massapequa, New York. Okay, Johnny also looks short. Well, baseball players typically are.

That's not true. I feel like they are. Also, why at 30 are you a former? Yeah, maybe just like... I feel like they play until they're older because they don't do much. I do like that his hairstyle is from the 80s, though. Yeah, yeah. I don't hate that.

I don't know. That guy might be cool. Not sure. Maybe. Josh. Sales manager. Another Mormon. No one's getting late on this show. They had to have a good handful of Mormons for her. Had to. When they cast this show, they know what the sensibilities are of whoever the lead is, right? Like, hey, guys, I'm into X, Y, and Z. Like, this is why I'm going to be attracted. You know, they're trying to figure out people that actually will be successful in the show. I don't really know what her type is at this point. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, it's kind of all across the board. It is. Kevin, a physical therapist in Miami, Florida.

Now, see, this is another winner in my eyes. Physical therapist? They give the best fucking massages. Like, mom. You can get your body right with this guy. I think that you just need a, like a doctor. If you ever need a plan B, you would make so much money as a massage therapist. We would probably be divorced because I probably couldn't handle him massaging.

women, but the amount of money he could make because he's gorge and so good at it. Wait, are you saying, you cut out? Are you talking about math doing it? Yeah. Here's the thing, though, Matt's so tall, he would have back problems because he had to bend over. He would, I'm just telling you, I get massages from him frequently and they're very good. Oh, really? Yeah, I mean, if I was just a rando and I could pay money to get that massage whilst looking at that, I would pay a lot of money. It's all I'm saying. Did they ever turn out to be sexual? Does he ever?

Oh, yeah. Every time. So you get a happy ending every time? Yeah, that's the deal. What's it like getting to have sex? I don't remember what that's like. Oh, well. Are you okay?

I'm not okay. My wife's in fucking New York City forever. Oh, no. It's been 84 years. It's been 84 years. All right. So of all those guys, was anyone, did anyone, stick out to you?

Just the chiropractor and the massage there and the physical therapist. You just need a doctor. That's all you need. That's all you need. I was talking to someone recently, they were like, the guys look like they're not attractive or whatever. Those pictures are always horrible. Horrible.

It's like a passport photo. No one looks good in them. Never looks good. My picture, I posted it recently. I don't even look like. It was bad. So bad. And I remember Tyler Cameron.

who's like maybe the most handsome person that's ever come from the show, guy at least. We did the exact same thing when like all those guys came out and we weren't like, that guy's hot. We were just like, I don't know about it. So I will say this. Give them a little grace.

They probably are hotter in person. Totally. But I'm excited to see this season, I guess. Are you? Well, Jesse told me that the guys are crazy and that they would be great for paradise. So that's all I really care about. But I have to watch these shows because I have to know who they are

when they come to the beach, you know? Mm-hmm. So anyways. Well, I guess that means I have to watch it. Yeah. I think IHeart wants me to do a Bachelor show, though, so we don't have to watch it if we don't want to. Oh.

Should we show a show? Yes. You or me. Bros. and Hoes, you're listening to another episode of your favorite thing podcast with. Wells and Brandy and Wells forgot which podcast. he's doing because he does so many. Way too many. Way too many podcasts. Okay. So many pods. So little time.

All right, guys, I didn't know how much a mattress could change my nights until I switched to my Lisa mattress. So freaking amazing.

Survivor one. I think I'm about to start doing... I don't know what's happening. I just know that I heart. As long as they're paying. It's not bad. You got some faith things, bro. Bro. Tell me all about it.

I feel like first we should just chat traders. Are you caught up? Caught up. You are. Yep. Okay, great. Who do you think got sent? Who got...

Who do you think? got murdered. I think if Rob's smart and Rob has been smart this entire time, I think he's going to get rid of Mora. Oh, you do? Yeah. What do you think? I was thinking it might be Mark.

Yeah, I think that the Mora thing is a little bit of a risk, but it's also, it's confusing and then it also is plausible deniability. Like, I would never get rid of the girl that, like, I think you guys all think I'm fucking currently, you know? Yeah. Well, but the thing about getting rid of her is like, she's kind of the, the one vote you know isn't going to vote for you. So that's, I know.

I'm like, it would be tough till the sender. I also think that like that breakfast where they came in together, right? And she was like, if you were a traitor, I don't know what I would do. I think he's like, okay, it would be really nice to go to the end of this and then her not vote for me because she loves me so much. And then I get to take the money. But then I think his conscience is like starting to get to him a little bit where he's like, I got to get rid of her.

Because I don't want that moment to happen. How does she not see it? She's dignitized. You said it. I know. I know. Which, by the way, that by order of the faithful's clip that was on social media, it was 100% everything that Brandy said.

I just regurgitated it. But if you listen to that podcast, I start with, they cut this out. It kind of annoyed me. I start with my friend Brandi said all that stuff. And then Dolores goes, your friend Brandi, smart and I was like yeah I know she's coming on sorry we're Cyrus in a little few weeks oh really yeah we'll just chat about that I saw that you had Ron Funches on we did have Ron Funches on adore him by the way he's not anything at all like what I expected I told you I had him on my

radio show years ago and he was like the most lovable person I've ever met so lovable so sweet yeah you know I can't stand when people try to be funny you know like when it's like a try hard comedy is just not for me and he is not that at all. Like he is so subtly funny and he's very strategic about picking his moments to be funny. Yeah. And it just lands so well every time I loved him. We also have Mark Ballas on this week. Oh, really? So it comes out. And Mark and I are besties. We got along so well. By the way, he let me know on his way out. He was like, he was like, oh my God, you and Wells played a song by me and my wife, like they have a band.

And he was like, you guys played our song on your podcast like forever ago. And we were like, made us so happy. We were so excited about it. And like, thank you guys so much. Did you know that? No, I didn't even, I thought he's a dancer. I didn't. Isn't that I know. Well, he's a dancer, but I did know he was a musician because I knew that he does some of the producing on the songs that they dance to. Like he's very involved in the arrangement and, um, and the remakes of those songs. So I knew he did music, but I did know that he's in a band with his wife and they're both sick as hell. What's the band name? It's called Alexander. I mean.

How do you spell gene? J.E. J.E. Yeah. Oh, okay. I wonder what we played. Dude, we got to bring the music thing back. I know.

I know. That's so stupid. Spotify, you suck so much ass for taking this away. All we were doing was promoting music, and you've taken this away from us. I know. It really is a bummer. But I think it was a song,

oh, highs and lows is what it was called. I think you maybe saw it on TikTok and played it. And he played me some of their stuff. It's very good. And I was like, oh, this is very, like, Wells, Wells type music for sure. Oh, yeah, I do remember this. Yeah.

I did not know this was him. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. Well, anyways, that's awesome. Please tell them, or you already did it. So tell them. Yeah, yeah. Tell him cry for me.

I feel like you and him would be buds. Like you guys, I don't know, have a lot of things in common and similarities. I feel like... We're both great dancers. Great dancers, yes.

Yeah. Very similar skill level. Mark is awesome, though. Like, I just feel like he's so multi-talented. And like, he's done Broadway. And he is obviously a dancer. He's a musician. He's so good on traders.

Like, I don't know. I just feel like he can kind of do anything. But cool dude. So it's been fun to have some of the traders cast on that podcast. I'm surprised you're able to book them. It's hard to book this fucking show that I'm doing. Oh, really?

Yeah. NBC's like, no. Interesting. We had Natalie on today. So that'll come out tomorrow, I guess. Or Natalie, man. I know. It made me sad for her on her exit.

NBC gave us 15 minutes with Natalie. And I was like, okay, first of all, I recognize that you guys have your own podcast with Boston Rob and Bob the drag queen. I get it. Yeah. Our show is huge. I've seen the numbers. It's doing crazy numbers.

Rising Tide raises all ships. We're trying to help promote your show. And you're giving us 15 minutes, but also I love Natalie. Let's talk about her fucking ending. By the way, biceps bigger than mine. I hate that. Oh, she's ripped. Ripped.

Okay, so this is what I loved about her. Overview. She's so strong facing. She looks, she looks so very. strong and then she got up there after she was banished and was very vulnerable which i think is probably a hard thing for people who are very strong to do but i loved it and i thought it was great tv but what i loved and i said this to her to her face i was like there has been no better tv than you saying johnny don't you say sorry to me taking someone's taking someone's power away to

apologize is so badass yeah i loved it what did you think poor johnny though like he's so sweet too I feel like it was like a rough one. Both of them fucked her. You have to call a spade a spade. They were all on board and then they didn't. And she was right. They were wrong. Tara chickened out.

She did. Johnny bitched out. I mean, it is what it is. I hope that they now realize. So what do you think is going to happen? I think that... Is there one more episode or two? One more than the reunion.

That's what I thought. So, okay, in this last episode, how does it work exactly? Like, is there another, there's no more roundtable? That was the last one? Is that what Alan said? I, no, I don't know. I think there's one more roundtable, and then I think they go outside. And if there's a trader left, then here's the problem.

If there's a trader left, the traders win, right? Yeah. But there's two. So they can't get rid of both. Well, so I think there's one more roundtable left. I think that, I think Rob's out now. I think they now realize it's Rob. If Eric wins this whole thing,

that would be fucking nuts. Great TV. I think that there's some stank on Eric too, though. There is for sure. But if you can only vote out one more person. Well, so they're going to banish Rob and then they go, usually they go outside, but I think this season they stay inside because probably maybe weather was bad. And then they throw the little satchels into the fire.

And if like they're all green, then they think everyone's a traitor. But if there's one red, then they have to vote for someone to be murdered. effectively. Oh. So what's going to happen is I think that, and I can be totally wrong, but I think they're going to vote unless Rob does some crazy stuff

where he gets Eric banished at the end. And so then he's just him at the end. And then I think that they, whoever's left, is got to make the decision of like, is Eric or Rob a traitor? Now, if it is Tara and Johnny at the end, I think that they're going to fuck it up.

You do. I do. But you know what's funny about all this? I told you in the beginning. I was like, I bet you Johnny's there to the end. Yeah, you did say that. He's a gold.

He also said that about Mark. And Mark's still there too. Yeah. Interesting. I can read. I can read. I'm out of well. I can predict all the time.

I can read it all, except for when I was on the show. I don't know. Right. Then you sucked. Anyways, it's good. I think this is the best one they've done.

Great season. Yeah. Gotta be honest with you about it. So good. Did you watch the finale of your favorite show? Night's the Seven Kingdom. No, I was just talking to Sarah about this. I haven't watched it yet.

What? Well, I got drunk last night and it comes out on Sundays. But I've read the book so I know what happens. Oh, okay. Well, I just am so, it's so annoying that this is, this was it. This was a blip of a season. Not only was it, only six episodes, right? Six episodes, but the episodes are fucking 30 minutes long.

Still fantastic television. Really good. I don't, you've read the book, so I can't really run anything for you, but like, I was a, I thought that the finale was like a little bit of a dud. It's like a little anticlimactic. Yeah, which is kind of a boring episode. In the book, obviously the fight is a big deal. And then there's the next day and eggs, dad asks, dunk to like, let him continue being a squire and invites him to the kingdom.

So I could be wrong about like what they might have deviated from this. No, they did that. Yeah. And then dunk's like, no, I want to go out. He wants, effectively, he wants. go to Dorn because he wants to get laid. He wants to have sex with that. The puppet girl who's tall, but not too tall for him.

Right. That's like the midway point in the book. It's not like the end of the book. Like the book. I guess they're just going to keep it on season two, right? Yeah. Listen, overall, great show. Matt's obsessed with it.

I told you. I freaking told you. Loves it. Listen, that whole fucking battle scene, which was really hard for me to watch by the, way he loved it overall like there was just a little too much equine violence in this season for my liking fair enough i understand i had to watch like a little bit too much of horses dying and being injured you know to make me feel good about watching it but it is a good show i'm very fucking pissed i don't know

if it's the same in the book but his little buddy his little buddy brings him his white horse back at the very end which is what i've been waiting for this whole time is for him to be reunited with the white mare and he's like you keep her yeah to the buddy in the The book, he doesn't get the horse again. Well, that's fucking stupid. And he did get it in the show. He brought it to him. He was like, here, I bought you your horse back.

And he was like, you keep her. What? Why would you do that? What's your favorite horse? Let him have another one. Well, that's dumb because I've read the book and his other horse dies, not thunder the other one. Stop it. But it's really wonderful.

He digs a hole for him. And like all the door, all the dornish people are like, but the coyotes need to eat and he's like, no, this horse meant a lot to me. It's very beautiful, actually. Well, that could still happen. He hasn't made it to Dorn yet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway. It's such a good show. I don't care how short the runtime is. Best slash worst part of the entire season

is the fucking the guy dying when he takes his helmet off. What is he a prince? I don't know. He's one of the Targaryans, right? He's next in line to be the king of Prince of Westeros. Yeah, he's Barros Targaryen. Yeah. Loved him. So fucking sad. So tragic. Hated it, loved it. I know. I want to give some context, though. It's kind of implied in this show, but in the book it's different that maybe his brother killed him because he wanted to be like the next king. Yeah. And that's not really the case. In the book, his brother's like fourth in line. So like nowhere near. And also in the book, they're both like really. celebrated warriors. They both have, like, nicknames and stuff for, like, being, like, badass in battle. And I think that they just, like, they just fought.

And it wasn't like, I'm trying to kill you. Which is why I think that, like, he is so sweet to dunk because he recognizes that his brother recognized that he was probably going to be in his king's guard. Anyways, the show's fantastic. It's very good. I know. I'm sorry about the equine thing, but also like, so Sarah says the exact same thing. And I get it, but also, it's not, this is not, I know. It's not real. It's also, but it, but it was real back then.

No, it wasn't because that's not a real place. Violence. I know, but that, Westrose is it even a real place. I know, but it's a symbolism of what was a real place where horses did encounter violence all the time. True. So. And we've grown as a society that we don't do that anymore. Not a whole lot.

You should see the fucking slaughterhouses in America, but sure. Moving on. Moving on. Moving on to, well, should we stick with dark, sad things, or should we move on to something lighter and brighter? I want dark and sad.

Oh, my God. I saw Weathering Heights in the theater. Oh, is it terrible? It is so good, Wells. It is Really? So sad. I mean, listen, I read the book in school. Like, I knew the ending.

Okay. I knew this was going to end as a tragedy. Still ripped my heart out. Did I cry? No. Was everyone else in the theater crying? Yeah. Such a tragic love story, you know.

And they did such a good job. I've watched a lot of the interviews with Emerald Fennell, who directed this. And I think we discussed it before. Like, you know, on the, on the, in the title on the poster, Wuthering Heights is in quotation marks here. Yeah. So this is very far. away from the source material. Correct.

It's literally like she made this movie and just used the Kathy and Heathcliff love story as inspo, basically. You know what I mean, to film a love story. The book is obviously, there's so much more to it. It's so much more layered. There's so much more character arc and storyline outside of these two people that you don't get to see in this film. So you have to go into it knowing that and knowing that this is a romance, right?

Boy, oh boy, Jacob Allorty is just... See, for the first few minutes, I had a really hard time seeing him as not Frankenstein, but it really only took me about 15 minutes to come out of it. And then I was, I was dignitized. I was under the spell. Him is Heathcliff. Him is like, you know, teenage Heathcliff.

Oh, is just so hot. And Margot is amazing. I actually really loved the girl that played young Kathy, like the little girl. She was so beautiful. She has like this platinum blonde hair, these beautiful blue eyes. And her sass was just like perfect for the role of Kathy. she was amazing. The movie's great.

Like, yes, if you know the story, you're not going to be surprised by any of it. I thought they did a really lovely job in a very artsy way of doing this story justice. And they do pull a lot of the cheeky lines and bits from the original story that for someone that did love the book, you'll really like love those little Easter eggs and little bits.

You know, I think, did you read out Wuthering Heights at all? No. So Kathy is just this like spit fiery. She's very dramatic. She's very passionate. She's very over the top. You know, somewhat of a spoiled brat is her character. And I thought Marga Robbie did a really good job of portraying that without it being over the top or without overdoing it. It's so good.

10 out of 10. I saw it with my friend Kirsten. And she was like, why would anyone go see this on fucking Valentine's Day? This is the saddest movie I've ever seen. And I was like, well, I know. But it's like the Romeo and Juliet thing. You know, it's the saddest story ever. But it's just you love it.

And it's a love story. And here's the one thing. think everyone should learn from Wuthering Heights from the love story of Kathy and Heathcliff. This is what we need to learn here, people. Communication is everything. Just tell people how you feel. If you just tell people how you really feel, then no one gets hurt. But because Kathy didn't tell him how she felt and he didn't really tell Kathy how he felt,

they went their fucking separate ways. She married someone else. She had his baby and then she died all because they didn't just tell each other how they fucking feel. So if any of us take anything away from this story. It should be if you love someone, just tell them. A passionate and tumultuous love story set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire Moors, exploring the intense and destructive relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw.

Could I ask this question? Yes. Orgo Robbie is, might be the hottest person in the world, other than my wife. Yeah. But does she seem, she's much older, I think, than Jacob Allorty. So, like, does that play? She is. So the thing is, I think Jacob was the correct age to play Heathcliff.

Because the problem with this story is it's such a large span of time, right? Like the story starts when they're children. They obviously cast child actors for those scenes. But then, you know, you see them as teenagers and you see that as Margot and Jacob and they're very clearly not teenagers. But then, you know, towards the end of the movie, you're seeing them as more, you know, quote unquote adults. where they've moved on, she's married, she's having a child, like, is very, very much an adult role to where it does make sense. I think Margo looks so young, like, to me, in this movie,

she and Jacob looked at the same age. But I think it's, like, you kind of have to go into it knowing they look a little old to be playing, like, teenagers that still live at home. You know what I mean? You just kind of have to go with it. The young Heathcliff is played by Owen Cooper, who was in adolescence, which was one of my favorite shows. Remember that show?

He was all very good in this. He was all shot in one shot. I never watched it. Dude, you should watch that show. That show's so good. And it's kind of all about like this like in-cell culture that's happening on social media and stuff. That's why I went on that big rant about how everyone needs to be like James Bond. I remember.

Yep. It's a good rant. I loved it. Okay. So do you think that I would, do you think that I would like it? The whole soundtrack, it's phenomenal what? Do you think that I would like it? Probably not.

Okay. It's a girl's, movie. Like, if I had taken Matt to see that, he probably hated it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you know, I watched a pretty popular movie that is getting, like, a lot of Oscar buzz. Oh, which one? Bagonia. Have you seen that? Oh, no. Two conspiracy-obsessed young men kidnapped the high-powered CEO of a major company convinced that she's an alien intent on destroying planet Earth. Bagonia. So it's Emma Stone. She plays the high-powered CEO. Love. And Jesse. Plemmons plays the conspiracy theorist. He's so good. So it's all about Jesse Plumman's is like

lives in a small town. He's like a beekeeper. The bees are dying. He's convinced that the CEO of this company is an alien. Like he's on 4chan. He's on like, you know, all the weird conspiracy theory things. They go kidnapper, which is not funny. Okay. But he's like, And she's like, I'm not an alien. This is like, she's like chained up in a basement. And he's like, I need you to admit it. And you got to take me to your like overlord and on the space shit. Like it's crazy shit.

Anyways, the end of it is fantastic. Okay. Is she an alien? You got to watch it. Do you never find out? No, you find out. Oh, okay, okay. It's the whole time you're like, this fucking guy's crazy.

Okay. I can't wait to watch this. It's so fun. Where did you watch that? I think it's on Peacock. Go watch it. It's very good. I don't think that Emma Stone's going to win an Oscar for it,

but I think that that movie's going to be talked about a lot during the Oscars. Okay. Yeah. Emma Stone looks fucking amazing. I know. She's drinking whatever Brittany, uh, Britney, I'm blanking on her last name for hunting wives. No.

Oh, Beesne. Britney Snow. Emma Stone is drinking what Britney Snow is drinking and she looks fucking amazing. Yeah. I don't disagree with her with that. She's always been hot, but. I know, but she's. doing something different. I don't disagree with what you're saying. I need to know what it is.

I think I've played this for you. Have you heard that your sister is also Morgan Wallen? Yes. Yeah. It's very funny though. It's very funny. Is it? It does. No. Him pitched up sounds a lot like your sister. No. You don't think so? I don't. Can I play it for you? Please play it for the wife tears. This is so old by the way. I know. I think we've, I think we've done this. It came across my thing and I was like, it hasn't been to how good of a singer she is, but she sounds like the biggest singer right now pitched up, you know? Like, it's not a diss on her, but I, this is pretty great. If you speed up Morgan Wallen, he sounds like Miley Cyrus. First of all, let you hear a little bit of Miley so you get a reference for people that aren't Miley

fans. And now Morgan Wallen's fed up. That's the same person. It's the same person. You have to admit, him pitched up sounds a lot like your sister. I would say it sounds a little bit like her. A lot is a stretch.

Does she not like that? She doesn't like that? Oh, I have no idea. Oh. I don't, she might not know. You got to send it to her. She doesn't have TikTok.

So anytime I want to send her a fucking TikTok, I just record it and then send it. It's very annoying. That's the most annoying thing in the world. It is. Matt also doesn't have TikTok. So same thing. It's very frustrating.

Well, they're just missing out on the greatness of life. Or they? I don't think so. I don't think they're actually. They're actually probably doing life better than we are. Or my brain is rotting and theirs is not. Yeah. I watched an old movie that I really loved.

Okay. Clooney movie, Midnight Sky. Have you seen that? Maybe. I think you would, if you haven't, you would like it. It's kind of a space movie. It's on Netflix right now. Oh, I've seen.

this. Yeah, this post-apocalyptic. Who else is in it? Kyle Chandler. I have seen this because when it came out, Miley had kind of just released her song called Midnight Sky and we were like, what the fuck? Why would you not put her song in this movie? Yeah, it's Felicity Jones, George Clooney, Kyle Chandler.

I watch everything Kyle Chandler's in. I know you do. I have seen this. It is very good. This post-apocalyptic tale follows Augustine, a lonely scientist in the Arctic as he races to stop Sully at her fellow astronauts from returning home. to a mysterious global catastrophe, the midnight sky. I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't see the twist.

Really? Didn't see it at all. And when it happened, I cried like a bitch. That was humbling for you. Yeah, I, maybe, you know, there's some part of me that wanted it to be true, you know? Yeah. And then also loved that it was the way it was, you know? But also maybe I'm an idiot.

Who know? Who really knows? Who knows? That is a good movie. I saw a quote the other day that I really liked and I wanted to say it out loud and I want to clip this for socials. Oh, okay. And clip, clip away. And clip away.

Here we go. So this could be for perfume or cologne. Cologne should be a reward for intimacy, not a punishment for proximity. You ever been in an elevator with someone's got too much a cologne on? I have. Feels like a punishment. Don't want that. Let's be smarter, guys.

Let's do better. You don't need three spritses. Maybe just two. Maybe just one. Can you explain how it's ever a reward in any capacity? Well, when there's a perfume that does or a cologne that smells really good, I like it. But when it's overpowering, even if I like it, it's too much. So it should be a reward for intimacy, which means it's a reward for getting to be close.

I get it. Yes. See, I just am not a big fragrance girly. You're not? No. And you know what's really bad for us. They're coming out with all these studies that say fragrance of any kind is toxic and terrible and like you should not wear fragrance at all and you shouldn't have fragrance

in your laundry detergent or anything. We're born. Candles, they're terrible for you. I've heard that too. We're born and we start dying. Okay? Everything's killing us. I'm just telling you the facts.

I just want you to know that I. But boy oh boy, did I love a cool water perfume in high school? Like doused myself at it, you know? Tommy girl? Do you remember Tommy girl? Yeah, I do. You loved it. It might give me a boner right now.

if someone put some Tommy girl on. God, I loved it. Jeez. I remember I gave it to like a girlfriend because my ex-girlfriend wore and I really liked it and they did not like that at all. I bet not. Yeah, I learned something there.

Uh-huh. This was like when I was in college. I wasn't smart, you know? Insane. What was the other one that everyone wore? Cool water and there was one more in like a green bottle. K1, everyone wore.

People did wear that. Speaking of Calvin Klein. Tell me all about it. If you're not watching Love Story. Oh, yes, with the Pigeon Girl. Wells. Y of tears. If you guys aren't watching Love Story,

wait, is that the JFK thing? Turn it the fuck on. What? Is that the JFK one? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The pigeon girl. It is so good.

The fact that you call her the pigeon girl is insane. That's her name. It's like Emily Pigeon Sarah Sarah Pigeon Which you should remember since that's your wife's first thing Yeah yeah yeah It's incredible

I'm pretty sure there's only one episode left And I am devastated Devastated It's so good So good I saw randomly on my TikTok feed I don't think I even follow her But I randomly saw Rachel Kirkconnell

On TikTok talking about this show And everything she said about it Was just so fucking true She was like Like this is the love story, the fairy tale that we are brainwashed to believe as young ladies that they've recreated for us because nobody doesn't anymore. And it's not real. This man doesn't exist. This man doesn't exist.

Not in 2026. But boy, oh boy, if he did, every woman everywhere would fall in love with him, which is what they want you to think. Because in the 90s, every woman was in love with JFK Jr. Yeah. And in the 70s, everyone was in love with JFK. which I get. I know. I know, but that family's cursed.

It is, I know. It's great. A lot of the criticism for Naomi Watts playing Jackie O. I didn't hate it. I love Naomi Watts. I didn't hate it. Yeah, she could be Jackie O.

Put a brown wig on her. It's fine. What are we talking about here? Yeah. I don't know. That's dumb. I did see that Lily Collins is going to play Audrey Hepburn

in a remake of Breakfast of Tiffany's. I saw that too. Which she does look exactly like Audrey Hepburn. And Audrey Hepburn. I'm old, but I'm not this old, but Audrey Hepburn is pretty freaking hot. She's like Audrey Hepburn and then who's a girl from Star Wars and? Natalie Portman. Natalie Portman.

Those two girls love her. Love. But I will say this. I think my wife played a young Audrey Hepburn in like a Broadway show or a TV show or whatever. And I think that Sarah could do it too. Yeah, I could see that. Anyways, I have a type. Yes, you do.

It's a little short hot, hot, Brunette. That's, uh, this is why I never worked with us, Brandy. Oh, boy, oh boy. One of many reasons. But I think that it'll be good. I actually really like Lily. I think she's a lovely person and a very good actor.

I think it'll be a good show or a good movie. Yeah. Yeah. I got sent to Amazon review. Oh, it's been interesting. We haven't had one of these in a while. Yeah. Subject line, noise canceling five stars by Adam, May 7, 2015.

Amazon verified purchase. Adam Wells? Maybe. What if I started doing this just for like a bit on the show? I wouldn't put it past you. I wouldn't either actually. Fuck. I used to do a bit on my radio show called Miss Connections.

And like that's a thing on Craigslist where like you run into. I'm aware. Yeah. And I used to. I'm almost as old as you. Yeah. So I used to make the interns at Lightning 100 write songs a. about misconnections.

And they were so funny. It was like one was like about a yoga guy that was like in Centennial Park. One was like about like, you know, someone in like the grocery store or whatever. And we started to run out of them. So I started writing fake ones and then making them do it. Incredible. Yeah, I'm not above doing this. But anyways, I didn't write this one.

So anyways, noise canceling. Amazon verified purchaser by Adam May 7th, 2015. So, not so funny story. Someone in the apartment above us got stabbed. According to the cop who interviewed us, the attacker rang the upstairs doorbell, and when the guy answered, the attacker forced his way in and stabbed the guy.

You want to know what the scary part is? I didn't hear a thing. Thanks to my amazing HyperX cloud two headphones. I got them on Amazon for 99. free shipping. These things work as advertised. Probably the best noise canceling headphones I've ever owned. 10 out of 10 would buy again.

Incredible. I imagine that's not true. I hope it's not because that would be crazy, but it's a good review. Yeah. God, have you started Paradise Season 2 yet? It's out? It's out.

I have not, but I will. I know. That's next of my docket. We'll talk about that. next week. All right, what do you got coming up? I'm chilling for a little bit. Yeah.
