Oh, today was kind of a, it was kind of like a big day. It was a big day today. You know, today was the day that the moon went in front of the sun and a lot of people got to see it get dark for a little bit and then it wasn't dark anymore i will concede in 2017 i was living in nashville and i got to see the uh total eclipse of the heart and it was pretty freaking dope so me making fun of it right now, I realize is pretty lame. But I couldn't see it because I'm in California and we weren't in totality.

And I want to be in totality. I want to be in totality kind of all the time in my life. If you're not living in totality, what are you doing? All right? Every day has got to be totality. Totally totality or you have nothing. But partial totality. Totally totality or you have nothing. But partial totality. You know what's really

funny is I'm doing this totality bit and I'm pretty sure in 2017 Brandi and I made this totality joke. I should go back and try to find the totality episode. I do like the word totality though. Night!

Bonnie Taylor. Once upon a time I was falling in love. Now I'm only falling apart. Bonnie Taylor. Once upon a time there was light in my life. Bonnie? Now it's only love in the dark. Love in the dark, Bonnie? You're not into Tality? Totally eclipsed the heart.

Yeah, it's a bummer, dude. If you gave me a million dollars, I would never be able to tell you that Bonnie Tyler was the writer and singer of Totally Eclipse of the Heart. Anyways, how's everyone doing? I hope that you guys did get some totality in your life today. And if you didn't, I'm sorry, but I hope maybe in 2017 you did get some totality. I hope that at least in the last six years, seven years, you got some totality. And if you didn't, well, there'll be another one.

I'm sure of it. But like my TikTok was like, NASA's sending up a fucking rocket and the CERN-Hydron colliders happening and the total eclipse of the hearts happening. Earthquake in New York. Guess what? Nothing happened, really, actually. There was nothing.

There was totality, and that was it. All right. Should we call it a Branzino? Ooh, I like that. The Branzino. That's a little bit better than the Brandai. We're going to run with that. Okay, let's do it.

Let's call her up. Okay, let's do it. Let's color up totality. Call her up. The Brandzino. Hello. Hello. What are you doing? I just got home from Austin. How was the CMA Awards?

The CMT Awards. I knew, but I wanted to annoy you because no one cares about that award show. Except Jelly Roll, who won. He did win. Was it fun? It was fun. I had a great time. Is it a big thing?

Yeah. Is it bigger than the CMA Awards? So it's funny you ask that because we were all debating that last night afterwards okay i was like hanging out with some some friends that were also there and somebody else brought it up he was like i feel like all of a sudden the cmts have become a bigger deal than like the acms which are technically like a higher award show like a bigger deal you know yeah i don't know but cmts is really really making their mark i feel like lately was it did you go to the award show, like a bigger deal, you know? Yeah. I don't know, but CMTs is really, really making their mark.

I feel like lately. Was it, did you go to the award show or do you just like play in a, like a, like a thing before or after it? Both. I DJ the night before. Um,

and then I went to the award show. That's fun. Last night, Sunday night. Yeah. So you are low, low energy. Oh yeah.

I've been up until 4am for three nights in a row now. Good. Oh, yeah. Are you doing drugs? Are you doing the drugs, Brandy? I'm not doing the drugs, but let me tell you what. Now I understand why people do drugs. Yeah, maybe you should do the drugs.

I can't do it. No, because I want to live, you know? Yeah, I get it. I'd like to live. You made it past 27. All right. You made it past, you know, the time in which, you know? Yeah, I get it. I'd like to live. You made it past 27, all right? You made it past, you know, the time in which, you know, like Kurt Cobain died.

I know. And Bradley Noel. And who else? Who else was part of the 27 Club? Jesus? A lot. Was Jesus part of the- Amy Winehouse?

Was she 27? Amy Winehouse. Let's look at the 27 Club. This is such a fucked up thing. If you don't know what the 27 Club is, it's basically like all of your favorite musicians all died at 27. All of your favorites. Every single one. All the ones you love the most.

Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones died 27 years old, 125 days from drowning. Jimi Hendrix died because of drugs. Janis Joplin because of drugs. Alistair Dyke Christian because of murder. I don't know who that is, but I wanted to use the murder one.

Jim Morrison because of heart failure. I feel like that was drugs as well. Definitely. Kurt Cobain, lead poisoning. I feel like, not that she's a musician, but Brittany Murphy was around. Oh, yeah. I'm sure she's around. I'm going through it right now.

Amy Winehouse, alcohol poisoning. I feel like Brittany Murphy was older than that. Maybe, but she was young. Anyways, you made it past that. So you can't be part of the 27 Club. So you can do drugs now. That's the rule. I don't think so. Yeah, I think you it past that. So you can't be part of the 27 Club. So you can do drugs now. That's the rule. I don't think so.

Yeah. I think you can do that. Nah. Yeah. I can have fun without drugs. That's good. That's good. That's good to know.

I've got a new nickname for you. The Brandzino. I kind of like it. I think I'm going to go away from the brand I. Really? And we're going to go into the Brandzino. What inspired this, would you say? Did you have some Brandzino lately? No, I i didn't but i just said it when i was calling

you up and i was let's call the brands you know then i was like oh that's a good one okay i like brands you know like the fish is bomb so it's delicious very good yeah um i was telling the way i have tears before i called you you know today's big day because they have the total eclipse of the heart and yes i just like fell back into talking about totality. And then it started, it reminded me, I feel like when we did this episode in 2017, we talked a lot about totality. Did we? I don't know.

But did you, did you get some totality? Cause I didn't get totality. I got partial totality. You didn't get shit. You're on the West coast. Yeah. Well, there was a little bit of totality. You didn't get shit. You're on the West Coast. Yeah. Well, there was a little bit of totality. All right.

I know. Did you get any totality? I was on a plane. Maybe you could get some totality up there. So I was on a flight today, a good old Southwest flight, and it was litty for the eclipse. Oh, yeah. They were passing out glasses, you know, for everybody. And I flew from Austin, which Austin was like, it was on the edge of the path, but it was

on the path of totality. Yeah. But I left, my flight took off before it started in Austin and it landed in Nashville after it was ended. So truly like I flew alongside the eclipse per se. Unfortunately, when you're in a little tin can, the sun is above you. So even though I had a window seat, I couldn't see it. Did you see it get darker and then light again?

It got darker. It got a little weird out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't, wasn't ideal, but honestly, like I was thinking the night before I was like, do I push the flight to watch this thing? And then I woke up and I was like, nah, I gotta go home. I gotta go home. Here's the thing though. Like it's kind of like going to the Super Bowl. It's like once you've done it, you're like, I don't need to do this again.

And when I saw Totality in 2017 on a rooftop bar in Nashville, it was very cool. Don't get me wrong. I don't know if I need to do it again. One and done. I did it. Yeah. What are we doing here? It's fine.

Also, I was seeing a lot of my TikTok. It was like, are you kidding me? We got earthquakes in New York. We got total eclipse happening over United States. NASA sending up rockets. CERN and Hydron Collider starting again. The world's about to end. Guess what?

Nothing happened. Nah, we're good. Dude, I'm so tired of the constant fear-mongering on social media that the world is ending. Because then I get excited. It's like, maybe it's going to happen. Oh, you're excited about that? I think it would be fun to be... Hey, listen.

Everyone's going to die. True. Even JC. I mean, he only got to come back three days. Then he had to go back up. You know? So if you got to die, kind of cool to be the last ones, you know? I don't think I need to do that. Well, I mean, like, I don't know.

You want your death to be epic. Do you? It'd be kind of funny, though, when you get... I was thinking a nice, peaceful, like, die-in-my-sleep situation would be good. Yeah, I know. Nice and peaceful. Yeah, but that's just, like, coward's way out. I'll take it.

Yeah. I mean, it's no matter what's going to happen, it's going to happen. Annie Hoot, Brandzino. I think I like this nickname, but we'll roll with it. We'll roll with it. It's pretty good. I like it a lot. I got asked on the red carpet last night if I had a nickname.

And? If I had known. Well, Brandi. The Brandi. I didn't think about that one. So you said no? Oh, no. I said I got a nickname. What is it?

I think you know this. Okay. My sister. Yeah. For some reason calls me DJ Deetha. Deetha? Deetha. Why isn't that your DJ name?

I think that's pretty obvious why that's not my DJ name. Yeah. But that's what she puts on, like, when she sends me a package, it'll say DJ Deetha. I love it. I don't know if I love it, but that's my nickname and it has stuck. And here we are. Here we are. Well, YFTers, welcome in to another episode featuring DJ Deetha, the brand Zeno, the brand

I, and your fearless- And Adam Wells. And your fearless leader, Adam Wells, the Bubs. Should we start the show? Mm-hmm. 301. I think it's me. I think you did 300. I did. Bros and hoes, you're listening to a totality event podcast with...

I saw this on tiktok loved it girl was talking about how she was a coffee maker what is that called a barista she was like yeah i worked at you know whatever um some coffee shop and this guy came in and asked me how i was doing and she and she goes i responded with the you know live in the dream which we all do right we all do and then said, the guy said something that was so interesting. He said, well, Hey man, if you can't get out of it, get into it. And I like that piece of advice, you know, like if you got, if you got to go run some

errands, get into it, dude, let's put on a book on tape or maybe an episode of YFT that you haven't listened to yet. You know, if you're, if your your flight gets canceled let's get into it let's go get a drink you know let's get into it let's get and so anyways let's let's take that energy into post totality okay yeah sure well i went to quite the event the other night. Where'd you go? We went to the Disney plus Hulu merger party or something. Oh, fancy. And it was at Mother Wolf, which is, if you live in LA, you know, it's a very tasty Italian restaurant. It is. And I was lured there under false pretenses of being able to sit down and enjoy a nice big old plate of tagliatelle.

No, no, it was hop-n-hopping and elbow-rubbing and all that stuff you got to do in any industry, but also in Hollywood. But you know what I did? I said, if I can't get out of it, let's get into it. So it was actually really cool. Bob Iger spoke. He's the head of Disney, And I got to see him.

And then we saw all the other big heads of things. And then we saw like our old friends, like the entire cast of Modern Family was there. So that was really fun. Ty Burrell was there and Ed O'Neill and Jesse Ferguson. That was very cool. And then who do I see but Jerry and Teresa. Oh, cute. They're there, and they are like looking around being like, where the fuck are we?

You know, you get thrown into one of those rooms with a lot of names, and you're just like, oh, my goodness. So I sheltered them like little baby fawns, and I showed them the ways. And then later, Joey and Kelsey showed up. Cute. And then we just fucking partied with them. We went hard in the paint. Did you really? Yeah.

So we went to a rooftop bar where they were handing out Negronis to everybody. Oh. So I got. A Negroni. A Negroni. Stunning. Stunning. With Prosecco in it. Yeah. So I got An agroni An agroni Spagliato Stunning With Prosecco in it Yeah

So I got really drunk And then I kind of sobered up Because we went to this rooftop bar And I got like some chips And salsa And then we went to a hotel room And who was there? Lo and behold

But Charity And Dotton Okay Cool So It was like the whole Bachelor-nash

And then we went to hide. Shoot me in the head. Why'd you do that? They all got a table with the fucking bar service. And yeah. So I like made everyone a drink as good as I could with. You can't really make good drinks with bottle service. You know?

Absolutely not. It's such bullshit. It's the biggest waste of money. For sure. Anyway, so I did the and Sarah and I were both looking at each other and we're like, Taco Bell? Yeah. You know what we did? We said, let's get

out of it and then go get into it with the Taco Bell. But anyways, it was cool hanging out with all them. Also, Zach and Katie were there. They're so sweet. They're very cute. They seem very normal. Too normal. You know? No, I like it. You do?

Yep. That's nice. Anyways, everyone seemed to be very happy and it was nice to see everybody and I had a great time. Love it. Love that for y'all. I want to go ahead and just apologize profusely for the live that we did, which was just...

Oh, I thought it was great. It was just controlled. It was uncontrolled chaos. I think they loved it. You do? Yeah. It was terrible. It was great. We did great, sweetie. Don't worry. I just, like, I hold myself to a higher standards and that thing was

I couldn't kick people out. I was right up my alley. That one girl, Heather, was just stuck. She couldn't get out, you know? We made Heather's day, okay? I'm just cool with it. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Do you wash your hands when you go pee? Yeah. Like, even in your own bathroom? Yeah.

You do? I do. Why do you not? Well, I guess it's... I saw this interview with Rainn Wilson, Dwight Schrute. And he's like, I don't... Why am I washing my hands after I go pee? Well, don't you guys have to hold it, aim it? I've taken a shower that day.

My wiener is like growing bacteria on it, you know? Maybe it is. No, it's not. I've cleaned it that day. My wiener is like growing bacteria on it, you know? Maybe it is. No, it's not. I mean, I've cleaned it that day. It might be a little sweaty. That's nasty if it's sweaty. Okay. Well, I don't wash my hands every time my hands get a little clammy. Maybe you should. Okay.

If I'm working out, if I wipe off my brow and I'm like, oh God, everyone stop. I got to go wash my hands. I got sweat from my brow. Anyways, I was thinking about it because I do wash my hands after I pee. And he made a good point. And I liked it.

He said, hey, listen, you know, I've taken a shower today. I'm touching a penis that has been washed. And then what's coming out of me is sterile urine. And then I zip up and I, zip up and I flush or whatever. Why don't you wash me? What did I touch that was going to get me sick? No, obviously if you take a poo-poo, you need to wash your hands

because you can get poop articles on your hands. And you've gotten pink eye once or twice. Yeah. So I'm not sure we should listen to you on hygiene, to be honest. Well, everyone's got pink eye. And I wet the dog. I don't recall the last time I had pink eye, which means I was probably a small child if I've ever had it.

I don't know if I had it twice. Anyways, it's one thing if you like. Here's when I, there's sometimes that i don't wash my hands and that's if i'm like out usually it's airports that have the grossest bathrooms and if i feel like i'm gonna get more germs on me touching all the shit everybody else has touched at the sink sometimes i'll get on out of there and just use a little hand wipe you know yeah i do like the the dispensers outside the door because i feel like I do all this stuff, like an airport or even like a gas station bathroom. Yes, I've cleaned my hands, and then the second I open the door, more poop particles are back on my hand.

I'm now back at stage zero. Yeah. I need a dispenser right outside there. Mm-hmm. When you go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you're like, I've got to wash my hands. I don't go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you're like, I gotta wash my hands. I don't go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Oh. Well, it must be nice that your prostate works so great.

But over here in 40-year-old land... You pee a lot? I'm peeing more. I will say that. Interesting. I'm going to the bathroom in the middle of the night more than I used to. But here's the other thing though, Brandy. I feel like I've become so much more in the past, let's say five years, I've become so much more neurotic about my hydrations.

You know, I've always got, look, I've always got this with me. I got some water. I always have my, my Yeti full of water. Growing up, I was never hydrated. Me neither. Yeah, I lived on Dr. Pepper and Surge. Yeah. And my urine was dark brown.

Nasty. Oh. I don't like that. What the fuck was that? You got some faith things, bro? Or what's going on? Bro, you know I haven't watched shit. I know, I know.

Let me tell you what happened to me this weekend. Okay. I'm usually just such a great packer, you know? But this was a big weekend. I did three places or two. I guess three technically counting Nashville. And I had to pack for all these things. And I forgot my motherfucking AirPods.

Like a freaking amateur. So I couldn't watch anything. That's when you have to go and you have to buy the $40 AirPods that are trash garbage. I didn't do that. And I have the new phone and none of the plug-in headphones I found worked.

And it was a tragedy. I wasn't able to watch anything. And I actually, I feel like I need to vent a little bit about my airport travels. You got the new phone, huh? I got the new phone. I'm still living in 11 pro land. How does your phone even still work? Mine stops functioning every time they come out with a new one.

No fucking clue, but I'm riding that bitch until the wheels fall off. All right, okay. All right, go for it. Well, I had not one, but two people just be so fucking rude to me in airports this weekend. Karen's.

And the first one was, they were both men. Imagine that. And the first one, yeah, the first one, I was sitting in the Miami airport waiting for my flight to Austin on Saturday

and didn't have AirPods, you know? So I went and found like a quieter air, like an area with less people to go sit. So I could FaceTime my mother because you know what? Her husband's dad isn't doing well. And I needed to check in with my mom to see how she was doing. And so I FaceTimed her and she was, we were just talking about things and you know how everybody is. And, um, all of a sudden I, there's someone from behind me says, not everyone wants to hear your fucking phone conversation. Wow. Literally just like that.

And I, it was so loud, like right in my ear, he was sitting right behind me, I guess. And I literally, I was in such shock. I turned around and I said, uh, there's plenty of seats over there. If you don't want to hear me. And he was like, God, you just, you can't talk to somebody without seeing their face. And I was like, no, um, no, my mom's husband's dad is dying. And I would like to talk to her face because it's 2024. And I was here first. Did you make him feel bad? Nice. Yeah, i tried to and he was just such a dick he was such a piece of shit and there was like a woman and her daughter kind

of sitting um like close enough to hear him and when he walked away they were like we we were gonna take him with you there she was like what a piece of shit and i was like i know and i was like a fucking man imagine that so he was the first one just made a complete scene in the miami airport and then today in the Austin airport, I went and it was very crowded. And normally I like to go like stand away from people, you know, but I went to sit down for a second, you know, I was feeling a little, I feel a little hungover today. Went and sat down and there was like a girl sitting to my right in the seat. And then like two seats next to me had like a bunch of stuff in it, like bags, but no people. And you

know, when you go sit in the row of seats, you like take your carry-on and usually like park it right by you and you sit your plop down, you know? So I'm like on my phone just like checking out CMT content and all of a sudden I hear, could you move your bag so I could sit down? I looked up and I said, of course, you know? Of course, no problem. I was like, you know, you could have been a little nicer about it.

And I moved my bag over and he was like, kids these days. Wow, he went with the kids these days? He went with the kids these days. Wow. I was like, my God. Why are all the men so angry? Because they're missing totality probably. I just don't get why people,

how people can be rude to strangers for no reason. Like I just, it's very beyond me. Listen, how old were these people? Old. Yeah, there it is. But old there it is for sure. There it is. You know, what's funny about old people is that the big gripe they have with young people is that you guys are so entitled. Yada, yada, yada. No, you know, who's entitled. It's you old fucks. Yeah. Who think that everyone should bow down and kowtow to your bullshit, saggy balls. But we don't care about you. You know why? Because you fucked up the economy, all right?

No one can buy a goddamn house. Fucking inflation's fucked up the ass and the only people that are fucking able to change anything in terms of legislation or bill writing is old fucking nuts like you. And we can't wait for you all to fucking die. You know what? You really took it really far. Yeah. You know what you're entitled to? You're entitled to go fucking die in Del Boca Vista and sell off your property to a bunch of millennials and Xennials who can't afford shit. Okay. Okay. But anyways, I get really frustrated.

I think I've told this story before, but I was playing golf. We were in like this big golf tournament. It was like all my buddies. And so we had like six groups of like golf tee times in a row because we were all playing together as a tournament. And these old fucks come in. They're like, we're going off at 1230. And we're like, no, you're not. We're like from 11 to 1250.

So no. And they're like, yes, we are. This is unacceptable. And we were like, we're a golf tournament. Like there's no way that you're supposed to be in the middle of this. In no world did a pro shop think, you know what we should do? Like, we're a golf tournament. Like, there's no way that you're supposed to be in the middle of this. In no world did a pro shop think, you know what we should do? We should send these fucking old fucks in the middle of this thing.

So they bitched and moaned forever. And finally I go, okay, you guys can go. I don't really care. But I do want to know one thing. When am I old enough that I can be a fucking mean old piece of shit too? Cause I'm almost four years old and I got a list of this shit. That's fucking ridiculous. This is an episode that I did not envision happening. I got really heated.

You really did. I thought it was my time to bitch but you really just took over there hey yeah can't get out of it get into it you know get into it you're not singing about the other day what are they called fairy tales because they're tales about fairies maybe i thought that that was pretty interesting why you think why are you thinking about that? I don't know. I was like, I like the etymology of all things, you know?

I'm a deep thinker. Maybe I was drunk. I don't know. Got it. Why are they called fairy tales? Because they're books and stories about fairies. They are. Some of them.

Yeah, but there should be troll tales. There should be elven tales. What are you looking at over there? The dogs are up to no good. I'll tell you that right the fuck now. Got it. You know, it's another thing that really grinds my gears. What's that?

I don't know if this is like showing up on your for you page. I think I just need to leave TikTok, to be honest with you. I think maybe that'd be good. I know. Take a break. It does give me a lot of good material. So I don't know if it's worth it or not. But for whatever reason, on my for you page, I'm getting a lot of like like, it's squatters, and, like, the owners of the house can't get them out.

That's terrifying. Why do we allow that? I don't know. I have never understood why, if I bought a house. No, I know. And I have to pay the mortgage, and you're living there. Why do you have any fucking rights, dude? Here's what I don't understand.

Let's say, you know, because everyone's always like, oh, there's an abandoned house. Like if you have a house that's sitting empty, you got to check, make sure there's no like squatters because then if they get in there, they don't have to leave. Yeah. What about no trespassing?

What about people that get arrested for trespassing? What's the fucking difference? Yeah, I don't understand. If I'm like, I call the police. Hey guys, there are some people that are just living in my house can you come get them out yeah listen we gotta go by different there's rules no i know you're like what are you talking about it doesn't make any sense also what's the point of a fucking contract lease if it doesn't matter and they can just squat

like i just don't understand any of it i know know. And like, when I watch these videos, I want to be like, grab that person by their arm, pull them out of the house. Yeah. Have the locksmith there. Like, what are we doing? Get out of this. Either pay me or get the fuck out.

Anyways, I... No, it doesn't make any sense. Listen, I'm a pretty progressive person. The fact that like, someone was like, we gotta, they gotta have rights. No. They don't.

What? No. I feel terrible for those people. I feel terrible for people who own the house. I know. It's very strange. Yeah. Speaking of TikTok,

at the CMTs, Yeah. a Montana boy bought me a drink. Like a fan of Hannah Montana? No, a Montana boy. Oh.

You know the Montana boys. No, I don't. Is that a band? Yes, you do. Is that a band? They're on TikTok. One of them is dating Kristen Cavallari. Oh.

Now, that's annoying to me, but... Mm-hmm. So, are we... So, I'm pretty big time is what I'm trying to say. Which one? Which... Was it Kristen Cavallari's one? No, no, another one. And it's funny,

I thought there were like six of them. There's only three. Got it. Yeah, I guess they just keep rotating, you know? I just really thought there were so many of them. Yeah. And they go and, you know, you don't even know what I'm talking about, do you? Is it a band? No, it's these guys, the Montana

boys, and they are on TikTok, and they just sing this one Luke Combs song over and over and over, and they get in a single file line, and one of them sings a line, goes to the back of the line. The other one sings the next line, goes to the back of the line. And I just thought there were like six or seven Montana boys because I just kept seeing them. Turns out there's only three, and they just keep going to the back of the line

and just keep rotating. Why are you excited about this these guys don't seem like they do anything cool they don't i don't know why is kristin cavallari dating one of them i don't know i just assumed he was a country singer i don't think so he's just a guy who just makes tiktoks i think so yeah you. You know what? I'm really in with the TikTok royalty these days. I got to meet Dasha also. She's cool as shit. And we're homies.

And she's going to come on Sorry We're Stoned. And she's going to be at Stagecoach. And she's my new bestie. Who's that? Dasha, the girl that does the Austin song and the line dance that's literally like the biggest thing on TikTok right now. You know, for someone that's like on TikTok, you really don't know the trends. No, I'm on Squatter's rights TikTok. It's very disappointing.

Well, I will say this. I made a TikTok the other day and I started to get a little frustrated cause it's like a lot of my stuff is negative. And it was first, it was like ripping on JLo for like really not being from the block, which is kind of funny because like, listen, she's a zillionaire and like, like whatever. And she spent all this $20 million on this, this movie that was terrible. I will say that we watched seven minutes of it and then we turned it off. And then it was a lot of people making fun of Jojo Siwa for her like rebrand and everything and i went on this whole rant of like it just seems like what is popular now is ripping on other people for making art i don't like that and what's weird is that like because now they're called like creators so now the irony of it all is that your art, because you're a creator, is just cutting down other people's art.

Anyways, I just think the world's – they keep telling me the world's ending, but it's not. It'd be so much cooler if it was. No, I don't think so. Do you know about Pookie on TikTok? No. Oh, yes. She was also there. Pookie's just a rich chick with a rich husband, and she just shows her outfit, and then the husband's like, and Pookie's wearing this, and blah, blah, blah.

Which, by the way, people rip on that motherfucker, but you know what? I need someone pumping me up like that, you know? He's doing the Lord's work. He is. And he walked the red carpet, so I think he's doing great. This is fucked up. I'm just telling you. Pookie.

Pookie, yeah, she was there. Well, speaking of real celebrities celebrities i uh i i finally watched oppenheimer i still haven't seen it yeah i gotta why don't you seem excited about it yeah you know listen you're the only person that's had that reaction yeah the story of an american scientist jay robert oppenheimer and his role in the development of the atomic bomb literally everyone's in this fucking movie cillian murphy emily blunt matt damon killian murphy robert downey jr jason clark tony goldwyn Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Jason Clarke, Tony Goldwyn, Kenneth Branagh. Like we could go on for a while here. Listen, it is great. But? Well, you know, I kind of wanted the story really to be about like how they did it. Like, and how cool that is, is that like physicists were able to

figure this out. And then a lot of it's like, like are you a communist a lot of it's like going to trial about like whether or not he's a communist brother's a communist he had a sex with a communist everyone's a fucking cop he made the fucking bomb that stopped the war can we leave him alone it's a good movie though you're so nuts yeah it's not bad okay when we did live the other day i was talking about my new favorite thing which is a show called resident alien oh when i tell you this is one of the better shows i've watched in a very long time this not hyperbole all right guys wow it is so very fun and fun better better than three body problem well three body problems serious a good drama this is just a comedy okay a crash landed alien takes on the identity of a small town colorado doctor and slowly begins to wrestle with the mortal dilemma

of his secret mission on Earth, Resident Alien. It's on SyFy and then also Peacock. The main guy is Alan Tadik. Tadik? Tadik? I know him from Firefly. I really like that show. But he's in like Rogue One. He's in iRobot.

He's in A Knight's Tale. I feel like that might be something that you would know him from. I loved that movie. Yeah. Anyway, so he's the alien. And he's having a hard time just kind of like adapting to being a human. Because it takes on like the body of this doctor but there's like one kid in town that like can see him for what he really is and that's just

a lot of him trying to kill this child which is hilarious and there's like a bartender that wants to fuck him but like he doesn't know what's going on and it is so fun go watch resident it's so good it's sci-fi it's Resident. It's so good. It's sci-fi. It's comedy. And it's a murder mystery too. Opens up with a murder mystery. Because the doctor in town gets murdered.

And so then he has to replace the doctor. Anyways, it's got a little bit of everything. Okay. I'm just going to keep going here because I feel like you got nothing. Nothing. Unless you want more CMT gossip and TikTok stories. I mean, you've got something good, you know? I actually do have some good shit, but I can't say it. Who's it about?

Can't say. We watched a pretty crazy Korean show called Parasite. Wait, like the movie that came out of Korea? No, it's spelled different. It's spelled P-A-R-A-S-Y-T-E and then Parasite the Gray. A group of humans wage war against the rising evil

of unidentified parasitic life forms that live off human hosts and strive to grow their power. Parasite the Great. So basically like it opens up like at a festival and like these like weird blobs fall on the ground and these like little worms come out and then you see these like little worms go

and like enter in people's ears and stuff and then the parasite can control the person. And it's pretty crazy, like pretty crazy graphics. Like when the parasite wants to kill somebody like the head kind of opens up almost like the demogorgon you know oh i don't like that yeah i didn't like that part of stranger things then you're this is not for you no no no the head like splits open and then they can use it as weapons and stuff it's pretty crazy and then this one girl gets the parasite in her but like the parasite is kind of like helping her and like trying to save her and the humans and the government gets involved and they catch one of the parasites and they put this like big

helmet over it so it can't do that crazy thing and then they use it as kind of like a beacon to find the other paradise. Anyways, very fun. Very gross. Very gory. Annoying because it is dubbed because it's Korean. But the Koreans are making some good shit, you know? They are. So.

They are. I liked it. Okay. And the book I'm reading. Boy, oh boy. Do you need to read this book? Which one? The Kind Worth Killing.

It's very gone girly to me. Okay. A devious tale of psychological suspense perfect for fans of Paula Hawkins' The Girl on the Train and is soon to be a major movie directed by someone's name that I cannot pronounce. In a tantalizing setup reminiscent of Patricia Highsmith's classic Strangers on a Train, on a night flight from London to Boston, Ted Severson meets the stunning and mysterious Lily Kittner.

Sharing one too many martinis, the strangers begin to play a game of truth, revealing very intimate details about themselves. very intimate details about themselves. Ted talks about his marriage that's going stale and his wife Miranda, who he sure is cheating on him. Ted and his wife were a mismatch from the start. He's the rich businessman. She's the artistic free spirit. In a contrast that once inflamed their passion, but now has become cliche, Ted and Lily devise a plan to kill Miranda. The kind worth killing. A novel by Peter Swanson. Really fun.

Good twist, too. Oh. And the twist comes in the middle, which I like. Oh. I'm a fan of twists coming in the middle. Okay. But I think you'd like it. I really do.

Sounds good. It sounds like a very brand i book it does and i think a lot of yfters will enjoy it as well and then when i mentioned it on the live a bunch of people were like i love that book so but you got to finish i know tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow yeah there's a free time there's another one there's a documentary out uh called homicide new york it's on Netflix. And if you're into homicides and documentaries and people get murdered for weird reasons, check it out.

The first episode's pretty, pretty, I can't say fun because this is real life, is interesting because it's like this girl who like works in like the theater world in New York, but then also like sells weed on the side. She gets murdered with like a bunch of friends that are in the room and then a bunch of friends get murdered too. And like one lives, even gets weed on the side. She gets murdered with like a bunch of friends that are in the room and then a bunch of friends get murdered too.

And like one lives, even though he gets shot in the head. So it's like stuff like that. And yeah, Homicide, New York on Netflix. Have you not watched the new Hulu series that's out? It's like another World War II story

that was a novel first. Do you know what I'm talking about? I forget the name of it. Can look at all quiet in the western front no what is it called i don't know i need you to google it you want me to google hulu new hulu series war series we were the lucky ones show gun we were the lucky ones i have heard show guns great oh i haven't even heard of that oh joey king's in this oh yeah yeah i'll watch the trailer for this Shogun's? Shogun? We were the lucky ones. I have heard Shogun's great. Oh, I haven't even heard of that. Oh, Joey King's in this.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I'll watch the trailer for this. You haven't started it? No, Joey King and Logan Lerman. Yeah, I really want to start that one. That's been like next on my list. It's so funny. You and Sarah are the exact same. You watched that freaking Masters of the Air thing.

Loved. And then all of a sudden you're like, I got to get into all the war movies. Well, they're just all coming out. Not really. I mean, like, she went and watched like Band of Brothers, which I watched,

you know, whatever it was 10 years ago. I saw that back in the day. Well, I also loved the series that came out not that long ago, All the Light We Cannot See. Yeah. Great book, by the way.

Also a book. Yeah. This one was a book, though. We Were the Lucky Ones. A Jewish family is determined to survive and reunite after being separated in World War II. Yeah, that's going to be pretty good, I'm sure. I think so. And also sad.

I know. I like sad. Something's wrong with me. I know. Big fan of the Holocaust over there, sister? I mean, I just like sad movies in's wrong with me. I know. Big fan of the Holocaust over there, sister? I mean, I just like sad movies in general. Yeah, but yet you don't cry. Don't cry. What an

interesting dynamic, you know? Maybe you like sad stories because it makes you feel alive. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah. My last thing. Okay. I'm pretty sure tattoo removal is a scam and no one wants to talk about it. I'll agree with that. I've never seen anybody have pretty sure tattoo removal is a scam and no one wants to talk about it i'll agree with that i've never seen anybody have a successful tattoo removal it hurts so motherfucking bad i

can't even explain to you and it's like crazy expensive hurts so much more than getting the actual tattoo so much worse and then all it just looks like it's like a big blob after a while like a bruise it looks worse than that it's it just looks terrible i know yeah i don't believe in it and i don't think you should either why i think that in this day and age there should be a more advanced way to do this like how have we not figured out a better way to remove tattoos in 2024 but But the thing about tattoos is... They're permanent. I get it. That's the point of it. I get it. So you make the life decision. So I don't have any tattoos.

So are vasectomies, and those are reversible. You really had to think about that. I mean, yeah, I guess that's a good example. But I think that... Okay, I don't think that people would get them if they knew they weren't reversible. Well, I feel like a lot of people don't realize they are reversible. I feel like they do.

Any man who's going to get a vasectomy knows what the costs are. Are they all reversible or is there a chance it isn't? There's always a chance. That's what I thought. Yeah. But anyways, you go into a tattoo knowing you can't get it off. No. Tattoo removal. There's always a chance. That's what I'm saying.

It's a sham. Don't believe the hype, everybody. It doesn't exist. It doesn't. I want to see one person be like, I had a tattoo here. And I I've never, I want to see one person be like, I had a tattoo here and I'll be like, I can't see it. That's never happened in the history of my life.

I wonder if it's because, is it because it doesn't work or is it because it takes so many sessions and it hurts so fucking bad that nobody can make it to the end? I think it's the latter. Whatever. Yeah. It's so expensive too. That's what really grinds my gears.

Yeah. Maybe we got some too. That's what really grinds my gears. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Maybe we got some fuck you very muches. All right. This one from Courtney underscore S11. Five stars. Thank you for that. Subject line.

Oh, fuck you very much. Love y'all so much. Thank you. I look forward to listening to y'all every week on my way to work. So here's the thing. Brandy, please let Wells end the episode with the joke because I do in fact crack up at them.

Thank you! Also, Wells, bring back Dirty Grandpa. Love you. Bye! You did this on purpose. I didn't. You think I'm Courtney S11? No, but you teed it up with, I think we've got to bring back Dirty Grandpa and then it just so happens that YFTR left Fuck You Very Much requesting Dirty Grandpa.

Seems too good to be true to me. I don't care either way. I think Dirty Grandpa was funny. We'll say that. All right, here. This one coming from Easily Amused Skater. Five stars. Thanks for that.

Subject line, Fuck You Very Much. from easily amused skater five stars thanks for that subject line fuck you very much so as my husband and i sat there on sunday debating what to watch after putting our lovely toddlers to bed after thoroughly enjoying ricky's to nikki the night before i turned to one of my favorite resources the yft website only to discover it hasn't been updated since the January 31st episode. How am I supposed to remember all of Wells' and Brandy's favorite things? Come on. But in all seriousness,

I love the pod, long-time listener, and I look forward to every Wednesday or Fridays for a bit there every week. Okay. Easily amused skater. I did not know that that was happening, but the producers are going to get a ribbon from me, sister. That's unacceptable.

This one comes from Crum J18. Five stars. Thanks for that. This is a subject line. Thank you very much. Love you so much, Wells and Brandy. Wells, can you please follow up on what you thought of the traders specifically what did you think of your challenge competitors also have either of you

seen the dune movies i'd love to hear thoughts on them i have not watched the dune movies we actually talked about it last night and they're like should we do this i would like to see them i think i guess but yes it just seems like. They sound like something we would like. It does. I watched the first one and I was just like, this is beautiful, but it's just like a long. Yeah,

it's long. Sand monsters. Oh God, there's no water. Okay. But good question about the traders. I did finish the traders season two and I really did like it. I have a lot of thoughts actually. I think that Peter played a really,

really good game. Pilot Pete. Have you seen that season? No should go watch it it's like it's a really it's a fun show pilot pete is super smart and like really he devises this plan so the whole if you played know it based on his bachelor season he made some bad decisions on the show he did slam h Hannah Ann three times in a windmill, though, so, you know, guy's got some game. But have you ever played Werewolf or Mafia? Oh, I used to be very

good at it. Okay, so that's what Traitors is. Yeah. So there's Traitors and there's Faithful. So there's Mafia and there's Townsfolk. I don't know, whatever you played. Mafia, yeah. So yeah, so everyone's trying to figure out who's the Mafia, you played. Mafia, yeah. And so, yeah, so everyone's trying to figure out who's the mafia, who's the traitors, right? And so Pilot Pete, he's like, I'm a faithful.

He devises these plans to like out who the traitors are. And one of them is like, if you go do one of these challenges and you win like immunity, traitor can't kill you that night. And so what Pilot Pete was like, okay, let's say that i got the immunity but really we're going to give it to bergie and if they all think that i got it they're

going to try to kill bergie and if they try to kill bergie we know who it's who it is and like totally catches them wow some of these traders are like you guys gotta be a little bit smarter than this they end up killing him because i think he was a little he played a little too hard because that game also is a lot of politics and you gotta really you gotta work the crowd a little bit and stuff but he did a good job i thought uh i thought it really helped probably his brand if you can call it that but you know like you're right like he did look bad kind of post-Bachelor and stuff. And I think this helped. But I got to say, like, no surprise that CT and Trishel won this thing. They are challenge champions. Like they do this shit on the reg. And like, they were so smart at it. And I will say this. I love the way that CT did this. He played this whole game of like, I don't know what's going on. I'm just a big, lovable Bostonian the whole time. You knew exactly

what was going on. And he was just playing this lovable character and everyone just ate it up. And then he ended up being able to get the traitors out, get out one of the other girls, and then be able to spit the money with Trishel. Very fun show. Loved it very much. You got some music acts or what?

Let's see. I mean, you just went to a music awards show. You don't like country. I like country. What are you talking about? You don't like new country. I mean, who does really? See?

I knew you'd give me shit. No, but you just heard a bunch of stuff, I'm sure. Yeah, but nothing you're going to want to play on the pod. It's what you want to play. Oh, interesting. Have we ever played any of the Costellos? Like Elvis Costello? No, the Costellos.

I don't think so. It's this little girl group, and they were at the award show, and they're so freaking cute. Are they all blonde? Yes. They're sisters. They're very pretty. I know exactly. They're very pretty, and they're so cute.
