It's like every day it gets worse and scarier. And I don't know what to do anymore. I know. I don't really either. It's kind of nuts. Like what's next?

Anything's possible at this point. I mean, my heart is just broken for just the country, the world in general. It's sad, dark, scary times. And I just don't know what to do. Also, like, I'm scared.
Starting point is 00:02:21 I would like to go and peacefully protest. But I'm living with a woman who's immunocompromised and like, I'm still scared of the Corona. What the fuck is happening? Like, seriously, what has happened? It's just like every day is worse. Like, dude, I'm such a positive person before all these riots and protests. I'm always like, you know, it's gonna be fine. We're gonna get back. It's gonna be great. You know, don't worry about it. The other night, I just was like, so depressed. I'm like you, like, I'm usually such a positive person. And I always feel like something that I can do best is to help like put a smile on someone's face, right? And like, this whole show is us trying to like
Starting point is 00:03:05 brighten people's day and life is so stressful and we're in such dark times like we just want to make you laugh we just want to make you feel good for an hour but like it's so bad right now i feel bad even doing that yeah i know i mean i think we have to embrace being the escape like i just it feels wrong to do that but also that's what we do. Yeah. One, I'm not knowledgeable enough about what's going on. I don't know if really anybody is, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to really eloquently speak on what's going on. And also, I don't know if anyone's coming to this podcast for deep thoughts from a reality douchebag.
Starting point is 00:03:40 You know, like, I just don't think that that's what this is. So I think that I'm scared. I'm for equality of course like i can totally empathize with all of this for sure um okay let's just try to wipe away all the anger and the pain and the sadness and the terror that's happening around us and let's just try to And let's just try to be, let's just try to be, let's just force ourselves to be positive for about 45 minutes.
Starting point is 00:04:10 All right, I can do that. Okay. You or me, Sister Anne? I don't know why I said that. That's weird. Ew. Bros and hoes, you're listening to Your Favorite Thing Podcast with...
Starting point is 00:04:23 Wells and Brandy. The world is burning around us and it's probably the end but we're gonna do this show because add revenue yeah i was gonna say i got a mortgage. Okay. Do you have favorite things? Is it possible to have favorite things amongst all this darkness? I don't know, man.
Starting point is 00:04:56 I don't know, man. I'll tell you what I haven't watched. Yeah? Horse Cooks. You know what? I didn't watch last night either. I was watching the news. Yeah what I haven't watched. Yeah? Worst Cooks. You know what? I didn't watch last night either. I was watching the news. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:05:07 Yeah, I didn't watch this episode. From what I remember and the clips I've seen, we have to make raviolis and I make taco raviolis. Is that a thing? No, it's not. They make fun of me. Like, wow, how fusion of you, you know, fusing Italian and Mexican together. From what I remember, it was pretty good, you know fusing italian and mexican together from
Starting point is 00:05:26 what i remember it was pretty good you know so you're still on the show is what you're saying i'm still i'm still on the show you know italian and mexican aren't that different when you really break it down because what do you think about when you think about italian food you think about Italian food. You think tomatoes, right? You think garlic. I was thinking cheese. You think cheese, yeah. Pasta. Pasta, yeah, some sort of carb. You think of like some sort of protein, like a sausage or, I don't know, a meatball.
Starting point is 00:05:56 All that shit is in Mexican food, you know? Is it? Well, yeah, I mean, tomatoes, that's salsa. Garlic is in both salsa and guacamole and generally everything. And then tomatoes, that's in both of them. You know, chorizo is basically spicy Italian sausage. So I was like, this will work. And then everyone was making fun of you for it.
Starting point is 00:06:19 And you know what? That shit was good, bro. And also a ravioli is basically just like a small little taco. I mean, kind of. Kind of, you know what? That shit was good, bro. And also a ravioli is basically just like a small little taco. I mean, kind of. Kind of, you know. I mean, I'm not right, but I'm not wrong. Yeah. So anyways, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Yeah, that's right. I didn't watch Worst Cooks, but I'm going to watch it later today. We're getting down to the end of it, so. I know. And you're still there. I'm so proud. I know, right? I'm sticking in there.
Starting point is 00:06:42 I'm holding on for dear life. I tell you what, though. I'm just sucked into Lost know, right? I'm sticking in there. I'm holding on for dear life. I tell you what, though. I'm just sucked into Lost. Oh, my God. Okay. You know what? The YFTers love that I watch Lost. No, they don't.
Starting point is 00:06:54 And a lot of them have requested updates. No, they haven't. Yes, they have. No. Five tweets does not constitute. Okay, let's do it. What do you got? What do you got for me?
Starting point is 00:07:04 All right. I think I'm near the end of season two. First of all, Kate is in love with Sawyer, which like, I really wanted Kate and Jack to be a thing. I really thought like they waited a whole season to kiss would finally get a kiss in season two. And it's just nothing. And now she's obsessed with Sawyer. Sawyer's not even that hot. He's just like dirty and gross. I just like don't get it. And Jack's so cute. Like Jack's gotten way cuter
Starting point is 00:07:30 now that we're in season two. I don't know if it's because he got like, like more rugged, living on an island for so long, but he's looking good. Because in the last episode, you were like, I need some more hot guys
Starting point is 00:07:40 because Jack's done and Sawyer's an asshole. Yeah, Sawyer sucks. But Jack's looking cuter but Jack's looking cuter. Jack's looking cuter. Okay, so now Michelle Rodriguez swooped in, was super important for a while, and then boom, dead. They've blown up the hatch. Okay, so now we're at the point where the others have captured Kate, Sawyer, and Jack, and they're prisoners, basically. And I'm like, how have we been on this island this long, and this is just now happening. Like they've been trapezing all over the island and never seen these people.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Also, where did the polar bears go that we were so scared of for so long? Like they're just like walking around the island. Like it's no biggie. Like there's no killer polar bears out there. Also, how are there polar bears on the island? No one has explained that yet. It's just a lot. It's a lot going on.
Starting point is 00:08:23 So now we've got these others and we've got this whole town that's living on this island that's been there the whole time. And there's this like hot chick, like hot blonde chick that's trying to like brainwash Jack. And I feel like they're going to go to pound town, but I don't know yet. Also, remember how Claire's kid got like taken and then all those other kids got taken from Michelle Rodriguez's camp. And it was all like, they're after the children. Okay. No one's asking about the kids now.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Haven't seen a kid in forever. Also Claire's baby's back. And like, now they don't want it all of a sudden. I just, I don't know. No, I don't remember that because I watched it when I was in college.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Speaking of things that came out years ago, but now we're jumping back on board. Sarah and I are now doing, because we've reached the end of Netflix, so now we're just going back in time. And also, appropriate for the times. Sarah and I decided to start watching The Hunger Games.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Because... Love The Hunger Games. Yeah. And so, you know what? We're jumping to The Hunger Games because one, one, we reached the internet. Two, want to start taking some notes on what to do when this all fucking goes down the tubes. Because it's, you know what? We're going that way. That's where we're going right now. I got to say, the books were way better.
Starting point is 00:09:42 For sure. So maybe take a listen to the book actually read those yeah okay i didn't even listen to them i read them back in the day that's good yeah i was obsessed with them for sure i don't want to like hit a sensitive spot because liam's in this but i know but you know what it is what it is so honestly he has like just a couple lines anyway it's like not that big of a deal, you know. He's kind of a big deal in the movie. But just go with it.
Starting point is 00:10:08 OK, go with it. I mean, OK, but I'm just saying he is like the third main character. Actually, that's not true. He's like fifth, maybe on the call sheet, but still important. We went through the entire thing and it is a great four part movie series. But here's my thing when you get kind of to the end everyone is in on making Katniss the Mockingjay and everyone is like in on this plan for revolution except for Katniss Everdeen so after they do the second quarter quell and they come back, Katniss agrees to be the Mockingjay and the figure of this whole revolution, right?
Starting point is 00:10:52 Then she gets to see Lenny Kravitz, her stylist's notes on everything. And it's like what the Mockingjay is supposed to look like and, you know, like the armor and and her outfit and everything and i'm sitting there being like if i was katniss i'd be like did everyone fucking know about this but me my stylist is in on this but you didn't want to tell me like everyone knew about it you know yep except for the person that's supposed to be the figurehead you think that they would be like hey by the way we're totally going to do this whole revolution. Are you down or not? Because if you're not, then this is going to be a much more difficult situation, you know?
Starting point is 00:11:30 And because she's also fighting everything, you know? Remember who the real enemy is. Well, if you just fucking told her what's going on, this would have been fine. You know? It wouldn't have been as good of a movie, okay? No, I know. It wouldn't have been as good of a movie, okay? No, I know.
Starting point is 00:11:50 In my mind, I was like, she must be like, you guys all must fucking think I'm so stupid. You know? Anyways, that was my takeaway from it. My stylist is in on it? Man, now I want to go back and watch them. Oh, you should. They're great. And then like in the vein of the Hemsworth brothers.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Sorry, this is a Hemsworth heavy show. Dude, have you seen Extraction? No, I watched the preview, but I have not seen it. Is it great? It's so good. Oh, really? So good. And it's not good because it's like gonna win oscars for best acting in the world but it should win oscars for some fucking choreography of fight scenes because your your
Starting point is 00:12:36 brother-in-law's your ex-brother-in-law's brother is doing some keanu reeve shit over here all right he's doing some john wick shit so if you haven all right? He's doing some John Wick shit. So if you haven't seen, if you don't even know what we're talking about, Extraction is on Netflix. Effectively, Chris Hemsworth, he's like a mercenary who's a gun for hire. Well, I'll just do this.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Tyler Rake, a fearless black market mercenary, embarks on the most deadly extraction of his career when he's enlisted to rescue the kidnapped son of an imprisoned international crime lord. Extraction. So it's only on Netflix. And I will say this, it watches like a video game, if that makes any sense. Yeah. I mean, I don't watch a lot of video games, but. It's real fast paced and like quick dialogue and then fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, quick dialogue, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, explosion, explosion,
Starting point is 00:13:26 explosion, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight. It's like that where it's like the whole thing. You're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. How is he not dead? How is he not dead? You know, it's like that. Totally. Visually, it's phenomenal. I got to give I got to give some love to Extraction and it's on Netflix. I'll probably watch it. We were watching it and I was like, wow, this is the future of cinema because it is a very expensive production. You can tell
Starting point is 00:13:49 and Netflix just released it on Netflix, you know? Yeah, totally. Do you know what I miss the most? I mean, a lot of things,
Starting point is 00:13:56 but I miss- Like pre-corona? Yeah. I miss driving. I really like driving. Oh, I drive all the time. Where are you going? To see my horses every day.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Are you driving fucking down the road? Yeah, down the road. Every day. That's not driving, though. I'm talking about like... It's driving. I mean, no. It's a quick...
Starting point is 00:14:13 A drive. It's a quick drive. What, you want a freaking road trip? Not even that. I love going over the hill. You know? I love... I love going up Laurel Canyon.
Starting point is 00:14:24 I love it. I don't know why. And I also drive a fucking over 30-year-old SUV that's so slow. But I just love that feeling of like, let's go. You know, like, let's put on some music or let's listen to an audio book and put around the town. I just miss driving. You know you can still do that. You know what?
Starting point is 00:14:44 I should go on a drive today. Why don't you go for a drive? I'm going to fucking go for a drive today, bro. Yeah. Take Carl, throw him in, go for a drive. Let's go on a drive. You know what? How have you not thought of that?
Starting point is 00:15:01 This is how fucking stupid I am. It didn't even occur to me that I couldn't just go do that. Pro tip for everyone listening. You can, in fact, go for a drive. You can do it. Oh, my God. I'm so stupid. I don't think you've watched it at all.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Defending Jacob season finale came out on Friday. Finished it. Oh, you did? Wow. I'm so impressed. I disagree with a lot of things. I watched it after you had been talking to. Finished it. Oh, you did? Wow. I'm so impressed. I disagree with a lot. So I watched it after you had been talking to me about it. I disagree a lot of the things that you said about the show.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Like what? Well, you were like, this is a really slow episode. And some episodes, I guess, weren't as fast paced as others, but they're connectors and stuff. I never felt that like, oh, that episode was really lacking. I never felt that way. I wonder if watching was really lacking. I never felt that way. I wonder if watching it, because you binged it probably. Yes, I did.
Starting point is 00:15:50 I wonder if having to watch one episode a week made it seem like that a little more. Yeah, that's probably true. So you watched the finale? I did. Did you find it predictable? Okay, so. You're really thinking hard about this.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Well, because I don't want to ruin it for people. I know, I know. But also I don't want to ruin it for people. I know. I know. But also, I don't care. So, OK, so let's do a little preface. If you are planning to watch this show in this finale. Yeah. Have not yet.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Maybe tune out for about three minutes. Yeah. When they go to Mexico and the girl goes missing. Yeah. I'm like, of course, he's a suspect. You know, like, why are you guys so appalled by this i know let's just break it down do you think he did it honestly yeah same right the whole thing is is that the pedophile guy totally could have done it but the fact that he was coerced to do what he did makes you think that he didn't do it.
Starting point is 00:16:46 But here's the thing. They make him. He's a bad person. The problem is that Hollywood's so good about making sympathetic characters who aren't supposed to be sympathetic. You feel bad for the pedophile for some reason because it's really good acting. Uh-huh. Here is the one thing I couldn't let go of with the pedophile. A scene where he's deleting photos of that kid from his phone.
Starting point is 00:17:10 For sure. That is what I just couldn't let go of. I was like, that to me is the most incriminating thing is that he had pictures of the kid on his phone. The thing about the kid is like, he's just so unlikable. I've been saying this since I started the show. Like, he's just not a likable kid. He says the dumbest shit. And if he was my kid, I would be like, you freaking suck. Also,
Starting point is 00:17:28 if he was my kid, I would have taken away all of his electronics the minute he was suspected of this crime, like take away the computer. You know what I mean? Because that story just like that was the nail in the coffin for him was that insane story. How do you write such a descriptive, detailed story about killing someone if you didn't kill them? The one thing that really annoyed me about the thing is I think it was a bad representation of how like the legal system works. So how it works is the burden of proof lies on the state to prove, right? And all the defense has to do is make one juror be like, I don't know. And one of the biggest storylines was that one kid who let the pedophile touch him, have him tell the story of, yeah, he stopped paying me to touch me on the outside of my pants because he said he had a new thing.
Starting point is 00:18:18 And it was the other kid. It was the kid who died. And they didn't bring that guy up on trial. Like, I don't understand. That's just terrible lawyering to me because if i was a juror on that case and i heard that story i'd be like oh wait what no one even talked about this guy there's a pedophile who lives in the same neighborhood and walks those trails like that guy makes much more sense as a murderer than another 13 year old boy with no priors yeah i do i do think
Starting point is 00:18:46 he did it i mean i know he just did he just did too many dumb things taking the knife to school and bragging about it and threatening the kid and then writing the story and watching the weirdo porn like it's just too many things man mother's instinct i feel like that mom knew he the kid did it and i feel like moms have an instinct, the kid did it. And I feel like moms have an instinct about their kids. You know what I mean? That was another thing that, where I was like, I feel like he did it. Second of all, why, why did Chris Evans, why was he not furious with his wife for trying to kill their child? He would just like took her side and was like, it was an accident. It was an accident. It was all good. Let me hold your hand.
Starting point is 00:19:23 Let me not get mad at all. I would be furious. be like you freaking idiot i'm gonna stand up for you and say it was an accident to the police but you ran into a wall what is wrong with you do you think there's gonna be a season two i watched it with my friend kirsten we've been watching it together every week and i we both were like what the heck any kind of ending was that and i was like i feel like the only reason you leave it that open-ended or like whatever however they left it was for a potential season two but what i mean what would a season two really be about so i don't think there is one i think they just i think it's one of those things they kind of leave it up to you to decide yeah which
Starting point is 00:19:53 is both frustrating and also like kind of genius regardless it was just very good it's just i want to read the book now yeah for sure uh check out defending jacob i thought it was great i didn't think there was any weak points to it by the way way, so that kid, that kid was from It. Oh, that's why you look familiar. Last week, we were talking about I'm not okay with this. That girl is from It. And also another kid from I'm not okay with this is from It. It is having a fucking moment, bro.
Starting point is 00:20:21 All those kids were good. You know what's so funny is I met all those kids at like an iHeart thing. And like this was years ago. If only I had known. Because my only thing to them was, hey, who would win in a fight? You or the Stranger Things kids. Stranger Things for sure. So there's another show.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Apple Plus I feel like is. They're bringing it. They're coming to play. You know what I mean? Yeah. They have a new show that I'm going to start tonight. It's called Truth Be Told. Have you seen the preview for that at all?
Starting point is 00:20:47 No. It's with Aaron Paul. Stars Octavia Spencer's in it as well. She plays a true crime podcaster opposite Aaron Paul as a convicted murderer. When new evidence compels podcaster Poppy Parnell to reopen the murder case that made her a national sensation, she comes face to face with Warren Cave, Aaron Paul, the man she may have mistakenly helped to put behind bars. Her investigation navigates urgent concerns about privacy, media, and race.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Ooh. Sounds great. Starting it tonight. All right, check it out. I saw two rom-coms that I thoroughly enjoyed. You did? Yes. New ones or old ones?
Starting point is 00:21:27 New ones. Is that, is it, are there new rom-coms? I feel like that's such a, like a 90s and 2000s genre. No, there's, yeah, there's new ones out. So the first. Let's hear about them. The first one is The Lovebirds. Have you heard about that?
Starting point is 00:21:42 No. Michael Showalter is the director. And Michael Showalter is from director. Michael Showalter is from like Wet Hot American Summer and he's fucking hilarious. Issa Rae. Do you know who that is? I think she's really known for Insecure, that show on HBO. So she's in it. And then it's Kumal Nanjiani. I don't know if I said his name right. Anyways, you know Kamal from The Big Sick was like the big one that he did. He's also in Stuber, which is pretty funny. The movie is so funny. Okay, so I'll do the thing. A couple experiences a defining moment in their relationship when they
Starting point is 00:22:16 are unintentionally embroiled in a murder mystery. So here it is. It starts out with like them having to go to like this dinner party and they're fighting over the dumbest thing in the world oh the fight is over whether or not they'd be good on the amazing race which is a really funny thing and like so relatable for whatever reason because when you're in a relationship the things you fight about are the dumbest fucking things in the world so they're in this yeah they're in this fight they're going to this um dinner party and like on the way to the dinner party, they basically have this aha moment of like, they should break up. Like their relationship is not healthy. In that moment of them breaking up, Kumal, who's driving, hits this biker. And so they get out
Starting point is 00:22:55 and they're like, oh no. And the biker jumps back on his bicycle and starts riding away. And all of a sudden a guy comes and he's like, I'm a undercover cop, move over. I'm commandeering this vehicle. That's a criminal. So they're like, oh, okay. So, you know, like Kumal moves over and then the guy jumps in the car and they race after him. And then all of a sudden the cop kills, he runs over the bicycle guy and they're like, oh, you're not a, or you must not be a real cop. You're like, that was just a murder. Then they're kind, oh, you're not a or you must not be a real cop. Like that was just a murder. Then they're kind of like now involved in this whole thing because everyone
Starting point is 00:23:29 thinks that we're murderers now and then they get kind of like all tied into this thing and it's very funny. Okay. So check it out. Where do you watch that? Netflix? Netflix. Netflix. And then the other one also on Netflix is David Spade's new project that he's done with his good friend Adam Sandler.
Starting point is 00:23:51 It's called The Wrong Missy. Have you heard about that one? No. Do you like rom-coms? You're a girl. Girls like rom-coms. Yeah, I do. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:01 I got to say, like, the last couple of Sandler things I haven't really loved, but this one is really good. David Spade is who he is in every fucking movie he's ever been in, right? And so, like, it starts out with, like, him going on a, like, bumble date with this girl named Missy, who is Lauren Lapkus, who's fucking hilarious, by the way. It's, like, the most horrifying Bumble date ever. She is crazy. It's so bad that he escapes the date through like the bathroom window, right? So David Spade is like a businessman and he's going on a business trip. And when he's in the airport, he runs in to this woman named Melissa, who's played by Molly Sims sims so super hot right and they accidentally like bump into each other and they like they it's kind of like home alone
Starting point is 00:24:51 where someone takes the wrong bag and then all of a sudden they both can't board their flight because they don't have the right passport or whatever so then they end up like having kind of like this meet cute in the airport they hook up in like the janitor closet she gives david spade his number and he's like oh my god the hottest chick ever i met her it was so amazing fast forward a couple weeks he has to go on this business retreat to hawaii and he's allowed to bring whoever and so nick schwartzen who plays his co-worker who's fucking hilarious is like you need to bring the mel Melissa chick from the airport. You have to bring her.
Starting point is 00:25:27 So he texts her and he's like, hey, we're doing this, you know, this business retreat. I'd love for you to come. She's like, I'm there.

Pump top soap dispensers. You with me?
Starting point is 00:29:34 Isn't that like all soap dispensers? Yeah. Yeah. Well, they're just bars of soap, but I'm talking specifically the pump top. Yeah. Okay. Like most of them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Talking specifically the pump top. Yeah. Okay. Like most of them. Yeah. Is it just me? Or when you get a new pump top soap thing, a brand new one from the store, I never know what fucking way to spin the top of it to release the spring so it can start pump topping. Top pumping.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Do you know what I'm saying? I'll sit there and I'll spin it like counterclockwise. Nothing fucking happens. I'll spin it the other way. Nothing fucking happens. I don't know the other way. Nothing fucking happens. I don't know what to do. Does this ever happen to you? Because I feel like this happens to me every single time I get pumped up.
Starting point is 00:30:10 I can't fucking pump top. Wow. Wow. You know, there are pump tops on a lot of things like lotion. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, shampoo, like lots of stuff. I feel like there's an arrow that says. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Turn open. Didn't see it. You'll have to test this next time. So you know the whole lefty, loosey, righty, tighty thing? Yep, yep, yep. Does that work? I tried that. I thought, yeah, I got to go left because I want to get it loose.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Didn't do it. Didn't do nothing. I just sat there spinning it like an asshole. And I'm sitting here in the age of corona being like, I got to wash my hands. Just took a huge grumper. We got to get this thing fixed. Not many things irritate me more than when something doesn't go lefty-loosey.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Like when I'm like lefty-loosey, righty-tighty and I'm going left and it's not working, but right works, I'm like, what the fuck? Did they not get the memo that it's lefty-loosey, righty-tighty? This is like a worldwide fact. Yeah, like was this made in the Southern Hemisphere or something?
Starting point is 00:31:05 I don't know. Okay. There's so much bad in the world right now that I loved everything that was happening with SpaceX. Oh, loved it. Did you get in on that? I was watching all the broadcasts. I'm fascinated by space, even though it absolutely terrifies me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:22 But no, super sick. And I, you know, the Starlink satellites, I've been trying to see those for months and I haven't seen them yet. What do you mean? Like up in the sky? Yeah. There's like this whole, it's called Starlink and it's this, this like a band of satellites that Elon Musk put up into the sky.
Starting point is 00:31:38 And at certain times you can see it go across the sky and it literally, it's like, it's like an arc of satellites that look like stars that shoot across the sky. It looks so sick and I've never been able to see it go across the sky and it literally it's like it's like an arc of satellites that look like stars that shoot across the sky it looks so sick and i've never been able to see it well yeah the whole thing is that he's trying to make wi-fi available for everyone on the earth so he's putting up all those satellites it's a good idea so i was watching all the broadcasts about it and it's like dude elon musk pretty genius so we haven't sent any human into space, the International Space Station, or ever in the past, I think, like nine or 11 years because we discontinued the space shuttle, right? So the only way you can get up to the International Space Station is through Russian spaceships. And do you know how much it costs to send a fucking human up there? Oh, I can only imagine.
Starting point is 00:32:23 $90 million to send one fucking asshole up there oh i can only imagine 90 million dollars to send one fucking asshole up there right that's so much to russia like well that's where russia's getting their money i guess no i know the fucking vodka soaked spaceships over there are sending us americans so elon musk was like i can do this for much cheaper. I went to SpaceX.com like a dork. Okay. And you, they have a rideshare program there. No way. No joke.
Starting point is 00:32:56 What do you mean? It's not for humans yet, but it's for people who want to send up satellites. So you can go and be like, do you want a lower Earth orbit? Do you want a higher Earth orbit? Do you want it to be in the, you know, in the Northern Hemisphere or the Southern Hemisphere? Do you want to shoot it up in September of 2020
Starting point is 00:33:16 or November of 2021? How much does your satellite, how much is the whatever you want to send up in the fucking space cost? How much does it weigh? You can put all this stuff in and then it tells you how much it costs. Like Uber, but for space. And so how much are we talking?
Starting point is 00:33:33 So I did it and I said, I'm 72 kilograms. So I put in my weight and I said, I want to go into lower Earth orbit in September of 2021. One million dollars it costs. That's it? That's it. And then you find out that Jeff Bezos, why are all these rich guys wanting to go to fucking space? Oh yeah, because the Earth sucks so hard right now.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Jeff Bezos wants to make a moon colony. Now I'm on SpaceX.com. I'm reading about how they're going to colonize Mars. Yeah, so Elon wants to do Mars and Bezos wants to do the moon. Bill Gates, where are you going, bro? What's happening? I'll go to the moon. Mars sounds a little far.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Yeah, it's like, yeah, we can go to Bora Bora, but Mexico is much closer. SpaceX, dude. It's like the- Dragon, sending humans and cargo into space. Yeah. The Dragon spacecraft is capable of carrying up to seven passengers to and from Earth orbit and beyond.
Starting point is 00:34:30 It is the only spacecraft currently flying that is capable of returning significant amounts of cargo to Earth and will soon become the first private spacecraft to take humans to the space station. Oh, you can even you can even check out the dragon interior for crew. I watched all that broadcast beforehand. so this is my favorite thing so they have two they have two nasa astronauts that are on the dragon right it's automated it's tesla of course it's automated they don't do anything they don't they can manually drive it but for the most part it's just a computer system they were like we're gonna put them through critical errors test their wit and you remember watching you know apollo 13 like all the shit that they had to do and figure out and all that stuff in the simulator i was watching the thing they have a critical failure
Starting point is 00:35:16 and do you know what the protocol is to fix the critical error at least in the one part that I watched, it was what everyone does when shit goes wrong with their electronics. It's reboot it. Turn it off and turn it back on. And then it was like, you fixed it. You fixed the problem and reboot it. Fixes everything, honestly. Dude, when in doot, reboot.
Starting point is 00:35:43 My brother got me this Margaritaville, not an ad, but it should be. Got me this Margaritaville blender for my birthday. Really? If you had asked me, like, on May 15th, the day before my birthday, hey, do you want this Margarita blender? I'd have been like, no, I don't fucking need that. Like, I've got a normal blender. I don't need this to make a margarita. Also, I like my margarita.
Starting point is 00:36:07 What's special about it? It's a normal blender. But then on the top of the blender, you put the ice in and then it shaves the ice into the drink and makes the perfect consistency of your mixed drink. Yeah, we were making margaritas and then we were like, let's fucking try aina colada that's what sarah likes we were crushing some pina coladas then it was like let's do some froses dude this thing is so good by the way all you made frose i made frose and for everyone out there the margarita blender you just put a bunch of alcohol out and you say you have a party. I mean, we don't have no one's coming over. But if you when we can party again, you just put a bunch of alcohol and say, you know what?
Starting point is 00:36:51 Get in there. Little chemist, little scientist. Make some shit. Because you know what? Always good. You just throw a bunch of shit in there. Wasted away again in Margaritaville. So it's like a B.Y.o-m build your own marg station love it i
Starting point is 00:37:11 love what you just did there thank you you know what the drink of my summer is what my bell's in the other room so give me a ding okay a watermelon margarita oh So bomb. So easy to make. Four ingredients. Tequila, triple sec, watermelon juice, and lime juice. Bomb. Dude, you know what I also like? I also like a cranberry marg, bro. Because... Ooh, I haven't tried that one. Try it, because my big problem
Starting point is 00:37:38 with margaritas is it's too much citrus, and it gives you that you know that in the corner of your jaw you know. So you take a little bit of the citrus out and then you like what you're doing with watermelon you replace with
Starting point is 00:37:53 cranberry. Okay. I'm here for it. My other top fave marg is a raspberry marg because it's a little more tart than sweet. It's real nice. Is that right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Some people claim that there's a woman to blame. But I know nobody's fault. You know, this might surprise a lot of you out there, but I fucking love Jimmy Buffett. Really? I love Jimmy Buffett, and I'm a lot of you out there, but I fucking love Jimmy Buffett. Really? I love Jimmy Buffett, and I'm not ashamed of it, dude. That guy is awesome.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Also, if you listen to a lot of his old shit, he used to just be a weed smuggler down in Florida and stuff. His stories are crazy. But also, he's built this brand on just living on the beach. That's his whole brand is I'm a beach guy. Like Kenny Chesney is trying to kind of rip it off, you know. Jimmy Buffett really manifested the greatest thing ever. My whole thing is I live on the beach. No shoes.
Starting point is 00:39:01 I drink margaritas. I enjoy hamburgers. He's got a song about cheeseburgers, bro. You gotta love it. And it's real popular. It's an amazing song. Has your dad ever played with Jimmy Buffett? That's a good question.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Probably. I bet he has. Yeah. I'm here for Jimmy Buffett. You can roast me for all you want because that's like such a dad thing, but fucking Jimmy Buffett is dope. I'm down. Okay, Brandy. I'm down.

Starting point is 00:43:38 my favorite part of Sorry We're Stoned is when my mom is so high that she's answering a question and like 10 words in goes, wait, I forgot the question. It's my favorite. Did you have a guest on the first episode? No, we're not doing guests yet.
Starting point is 00:43:58 We're just like trying to get the lay of the land, get a format going. But we really like the idea of eventually having other mother-daughter duos be guests on the show. I like that. I like that. Yeah. Alright. I'm gonna give it a listen. Give it a listen.
Starting point is 00:44:14 And if you guys don't know what I'm talking about, I'm sure you do. My mom and I have a podcast called Sorry We're Stoned, and it's on Apple and Spotify and all the things, and it comes out on Thursdays. Oh, nice. Okay. Do you know Cordover Street? Uh-huh. thursdays oh nice okay do you know cordover street uh-huh he's a nashville guy did you know him like way back in the day yes i'm really good friends with his brother nash who's in a band called hot shell ray with one of my best friends ryan yeah
Starting point is 00:44:35 so i've actually known all of them since i mean i've gone to school with them since like elementary school but um i started hanging out with cord more i guess when i moved to la why you like you liking his music? Speaking of other people's podcasts on my podcast, I have him on. It's not coming out for a couple of weeks, but I have him as a guest coming up. So I was doing some research into his stuff. I've known Kord for a couple of years now because he's friends with Sarah from the Glee days. I was doing some research and seeing what he was doing. And he's got a new single out that I really like.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Yeah, his music's good. Really good. But anyways, the new song is called What You Need. It's a little Bon Iver. Ooh. And, I mean, you know how I feel about Justin Vernon, right? Mm-hmm. Pills to help anxiety
Starting point is 00:45:22 I would take the mess you leave if I could give you what you need temporary fix for the storm at the end of the night call out my name but it sounds like you're reading a line I don't really care I can drown in the waves that you cause How good is that?
Starting point is 00:45:59 I love his voice. Dude, it's the best. In the interview, when I was talking to him, I was like, man, I love that you did this, you know, this kind of like auto-tune bonnie verre thing at the beginning and my big complaint with bonnie verre is he just does that too much where i'm like i know justin vernon's good singer i want to hear your voice sometimes and that's what i loved about that that song in
Starting point is 00:46:20 particular is it starts like that and then he goes into like his like folky great normal sounding voice and it's like this is what I've always wanted from Bon Iver you know totally I really like that so Diplo put out an album called Snake Oil love Diplo just in general honestly the whole thing's good there's a couple songs in there that he's already
Starting point is 00:46:39 released that I love one of them being Heartless I think we've played that on here before it features Julia Michaels and Morgan Wallen. Little Noe has a song on the album with Diplo. It's called On Mine. Can we give it a play? By the way, Brandy only promotes
Starting point is 00:46:55 Noah's music at this point. I'm her biggest fan. I'll fight M to know each other. I love hearing Noe do something a little more upbeat. Yeah. I was just going to say that. You know. That song wasn't like a suicide pact song or something, you know? I know. Because she has such a powerful voice that like in a more upbeat song,
Starting point is 00:47:57 like her voice just slays. Like it's so good. Also, Diplo, it's so funny because like, you know, he's known as a DJ. He does these DJ sets and whatnot. But he is just really a phenomenal pop music producer. Yeah. Well, you don't get to have Orville Peck or Morgan Wallen or Jonas Brothers or your sister,
Starting point is 00:48:18 Julia Michaels, Zac Brown. You don't get to have all these people on your shit if you're not real good. All right, I got one more for you. All right. Have you heard of a band called Hollow Coves? No. Okay, so this came up on my Discover or whatever, and I was like, oh, Head in the Heart have a new song.
Starting point is 00:48:40 And then I was like, oh, this isn't Head in the Heart. And I like it a lot. I'm moving far away To a sunny place Where it's just you and me Feels like we're in a dream You know what I mean The summer air by the seaside The way it fills our lungs
Starting point is 00:49:18 The fire burns in the night sky This life will keep us young The fire burns in the night sky. This life will keep us young, yeah, keep us young. It's Hollow Coves, and that's a song called Coastline. It's a very well-sounding song. I know. And then what was it? I put this into the playlist. Let's just see what this is real quick.
