Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - We are living in the dumbest time

Episode Date: August 20, 2025

Your hosts are on the road this week reporting live from their hotel rooms...one of which is way nicer than the other because somebody decided to live life on the edge for once. Which raises the age-old question: why are we paying so much for hotels anyway?? Asking for a friend. Wells is up in Toronto shooting a fun secret (but not-so-secret) cooking show and loving the Canadians… except for their airport systems. Meanwhile, Brandi is off-roading through Colorado with Matt, winging literally every part of the trip. Speaking of Matt, he finally gets the honor of hearing the YFT intro live. Then it’s onto a colorful Bachelor in Paradise recap where the drama somehow tops last week’s chaos?? Wells issues a public apology for almost giving Kathy brain damage (oops) and calls out Jeremy for his, um, bold ceremony outfit choice. Fav things are favin’ with Outlander and the very “titty heavy” Outlander spin-off Blood of My Blood, plus Wednesday Season 2 to name a few. And Wells has to hand it to Gavin Newsom’s tweets. Things are sooo unserious right now.

What's up, dude? I really like the color palette you have going on today. Oh, thank you. Where do you get that shirt? junk food clothing is who sent me this yeah i like it yeah how you doing where are you i'm at the baymont inn in durango colorado okay how is durango this time of year it's really fucking nice where is durango so that's a no derango is in southwestern colorado ah no i've never been to derango they've got a golf course or two

Do they? Ah, so they looked really nice when I passed by them. Dang. So what are you doing there? You just Durangoing it up in Durango? Yeah, pretty much. Matt and I decided to take a little four-day road trip in between gigs that I have this week, because we were in Denver on Saturday, and then I have to be in Jackson on Thursday.

So it was like, we had these few days, and it's like, it doesn't make sense to go home, and I didn't really want to go to L.A. We've been wanting to come visit Durango in Pagos Springs. so we just rented a car and we've been on this little road trip and you know typically I am such a planner like I love to have trips dialed like I like itineraries I like to have everything booked ahead of time but for this one I didn't do that and I'm trying really hard to be spontaneous and let me tell you what that what I've learned that means that means when you get to the town everything is booked except the Baymont Inn and it sweets ah that's not good it's fun I mean it's

really not that bad. But it's been nice because last night, so I had planned on us like jamming straight here and spending most of our time down here. But we stopped in a little town called Silverton. We ever heard of Silverton? No. Very cute. It's like the elevation is like like 10,000 feet above sea like you're so high up in the mountains. It's crazy. And it's just this little teeny tiny like old western town that looks like you feel like you're in a time warp. But it's in the mountains. And it's sort of like Moab where like the whole thing to do is offroading and like side by sides you know like cana you rent to can't am and they have all these roads built into the mountains here that you can take them and we did that yesterday for like five hours and it was so fun highly 10 out of 10 recommend

there's this road in the mountains called the alpine loop and it connects like three cities you know on the outskirts of these mountains or whatnot and you can like do the whole thing you can see ghost towns you can go to our gold vines. You can do all this cool stuff. And we would have skipped all that if I had made my plan earlier because I didn't even know about it. So that was cool. Yes, be more adventurous, YFT years.

That's what we've learned. Be more adventurous and stay at the Baymont. Honestly, though, like, it's like we're just sleeping here. Hotels are so silly. It's so silly to spend so much money on hotels, I feel like, unless you're like there for days on end and actually going to be like spending time there. Yeah, I almost feel like the only time you really need to spend

a lot of money on a hotel is when you're in a big city and it's really more of like location right like you're like in walking location to everything or like when i when i was in denver you know like we ate at the hotel matt used the gym like if you're doing those things sure but for this like this whole like check in at four check out at 11 situation like you're spending so much money to have a room for like half a day you're really just sleeping here yeah that's what we're doing nice shockingly because i'm shocked we have listeners. I have met so many Y of tears on this trip. It's actually insane. Wow. We must just have a lot of Colorado listeners. In Denver, I met some. I was, like, out eating dinner and, like, had a couple girls come up to me. Like, they were everywhere. And then I stopped

in Buena Vista, the first night, drove through Gunnison, like, these small towns. And I had people come up to me and DM me and be like, wait, I live here. You're here. I listen to the podcast. Like, just so many. They're everywhere. I don't get it, but that's cool. I mean, I feel like our next live show needs to be Denver, maybe. All right, let's do it. You know? Yeah. So this is the part where you say, well, you're in a different place, and then I say where I'm at. Well, I didn't know if you're allowed to talk about what you're doing. I never know with you. Like, you're so secretive. There has been no announcement of what I'm doing, but I'm in Toronto right now. Your hotel looks decent. Yeah, it's nice.

Is it? Yeah. I'm in a location. I'm downtown, Toronto, and I've only ever been to Toronto in the wintertime. It's not wintertime right now. It's lovely here. And it's a lovely city. Yeah. I haven't gotten to do a whole lock because I've been working. I'm doing, I'm doing like a cooking show. I think that's as much as I can say. That's boring. I want to know more. I know, but I will say I filmed like the first couple episodes and it's going to be so fun. Oh, I'm really. I'm like really, excited about it really so are you are you like the host or are you like a contestant i'm the host of it okay it's kind of similar to the best and dough show that i did it's same production okay anyways we did the first episode and a little bit of the second episode and it's very fun cast is very

fun the premise is fun i i'm really excited for it and it should be coming out the end of the year like holiday season so it's going to be coming up soon i know is the cast like anybody people would know, or is it just normal people? I think if you're in the culinary world, yes. Okay. My fellow judges, I think, you're going to be like, I know who these people are. Okay. I've been, like, compiling a list of things I need to do in Toronto.

So I've got a little heat map here. But for the YFT years out there, and I know we've got a lot of them that are living in Canada. If you have any suggestions, just DM me. Why don't you do that? Like, I would love that. I asked chat GPT, I said, where I'm staying, how many days I've got, I want to be able to sight see and eat and drink and do fun things and see cool things all within walking distance.

So here is some of my things that I'm going to be doing in Toronto. Okay. First off, we went to a place in Kensington area. Is Sarah with you? No. Like executive producers. You know. And like fellow judges.

and hosts and so we went to a michelin star chinese restaurant called sunnies which is hard to find and in this like corky little back alley situation fantastic so ding ding if you go to toronto go to sunnies very excited to visit bar raval apparently it's like a little Mediterranean bar thing that people are into there's a place called graffiti alley that i'm going to take my new camera to and take a bunch of pictures and get artistic. Okay. Yeah, so there is a little island. There's the Toronto Island.

Did you know about the Toronto Islands? I did not. You can take a little ferry over to the Toronto Islands and go check out their islands. I'm going to go do that one day. People say that's pretty fun. That's cool. Gray Gardens I'm going to check out. Bar Isabel.

I'm right by the CN Tower, which looks a lot like the Space Needle. It does. And apparently there's a restaurant up there, and you can go up there and you can do the CN Tower Walk, which is where they, like, hook you to a harness and, like, lean over the edge. I wouldn't be doing that. I'm going to do it, you know. You are? Yeah, why not?

I only got one life to live. I might die. You might die, actually. And then the last thing I'm going to do is the St. Lawrence Market, which I feel like is a lot like in Seattle, the fish market where they throw the fish at you and you got to catch it. It's a pike place. Yeah, a lot of Seattle parallels, some I'm seeing. I would agree with that, actually. Anyways, Toronto is a lovely town. You know, it's so funny about Toronto. You know, it's really close to New York, right? So to me, it's got a New York vibe to it. I think like weather wise and big city wise. But I'll tell you what, the people in Toronto are much different than the people in New York. And it's never more evident than when you're walking the streets. Because when you're in New York, the second you see the cross street traffic,

light turn yellow, New Yorkers are walking across the street because they know they're getting a walking sign. Toronto, these Canadians, they're so nice. They all wait. Even though it's turned red, the traffic going with you has gone green. It waits like five seconds for the little man, for the walk man to light up. And then they walk. And I'm always like, I'm always like, we go and guys, we go, we go, we go. And they're like, no, we're Canadians, eh? And we got to wait. We got a full of the rules, eh? So that's one thing that I noticed about Torontoites, Torontoians, Toronians,

is that they're all... It's not in the rush. No. But I tell you what, they are striking right now. Air Canada is striking. And it's hard to get everyone in for this show. Really? I was on the last flight from Los Angeles to Toronto.

And you know how I know that? Tell me. They told us at boarding. Yikes. We were supposed to be like pushing back at 3.30, 335, I think. We're going to start boarding at 305. So I go down there and it's at like 310, right? We haven't started boarding and this guy comes on the intercom and he's like, hey,

just so you guys know, we need everyone in their seats by 335 to close the door. door. If everyone's not on the plane sitting down by 335, we're canceling this flight. This is the last flight to Toronto before the strike. Just so you know, if we can't close the door at 335, you're not going anywhere. We were supposed to start boarding at 305. This is 310. I'm like, hey, buddy, stop talking. Just let us on the plate. What are we doing here? Hurry it. It's true. True. Brandy, I'm getting older. Did you know that? I did know that. Yeah, thanks. I did too, unfortunately. Unfortunately. And to combat my old age, I'm trying to be as healthy as possible. And that's why I use balance of nature's whole health system supplements. They come with 47 ingredients of fruits, vegetables, spices, and fibers. The fruits and veggie supplements have a huge variety of 31 colorful ingredients of 16 whole fruits and 15 whole vegetables, ingredients like mangoes, chatea, mushroom, spinach, wild berries, kale, and alavera. I try so,

hard to incorporate all these things into my diet, but sometimes it's just impossible. And that's why balance of nature's whole health system is so helpful. Yeah, they're super convenient and easy to take with you, even if you're traveling. I am so bad at eating vegetables. I just don't like them. So something like this is great for me. The fruits and veggies supplement you can take with a glass of water, you can even chew them, or you can open them and mix the powder with your water or with your beverage. So literally, there's so many ways to take these and make sure you're getting your fruits and veggies in the day.

All right, brandy, you know that I'm in Toronto right now filming this show, which means I'm staying in a hotel and you know one of my favorite things is the moment you sink into a hotel bed and think, dude, why does it my bed feel like this? I feel like every hotel bed is like always the best. Well, that's what you can expect with Lisa. My new Lisa mattress feels like a five star sleep every single night. But at home, I absolutely love this new mattress. And if you're looking for a new mattress, you've got to check out Lisa. Yeah, I actually got a Lisa mattress recently for my guest room. And it's great. They have a ton of different styles and options, whether

you want a firmer mattress or a softer mattress. They actually were awarded the best hybrid mattress by New York Times wirecutter. And the best part is this mattress comes to your door in a box. It's so easy to pull out and set up. And what's so cool is that Lisa mattresses are designed and assembled in the USA. We love that.

I'm like, I got to get there.

Because if I miss this flight, then I got to take like a red eye. that means I got to stay at the airport for four or five whatever hours and then get on a flight and then sit like middle row economy red eye to Toronto track it listen I am bougie but like you if you are going to do a red eye you cannot do fucking not you can't sleep yeah it's like 3 34 and some lady there's something wrong with their seat she won't sit down and they're like you hey guys you need to sit down if we're going to close the door and everyone's like sit the fuck down and she's like at 335 she finally sits down i'm looking at my watch i'm like oh my god close the door close the door close the door finally they close the door push off we're the last flight in to Toronto now a couple of things okay so i'm working here in canada so we've requested a work permit right a work visa or whatever i've got all my paperwork i get to the kiosk in Toronto.

Welcome to Toronto, eh? What are you doing here for? Working. I hit the button. It prints out this little thing. It says, WP. I mean, I assume that means work permit, right? It does, yes.

I walk up to the customs officer, hand in my passport. He looks at it. He looks at the piece of paper. It puts a line on it. He goes, go over there. I go, okay. So I walk over to the next guy.

I hand on my piece of paper. He looks at it. at it he goes all right welcome to canada i go in okay i guess that was me getting my work permit i don't know like they fucking all saw the paperwork i gave them right get my bag leave go to my hotel go work a day and finally production's like hey do you have your um work permit thing and i'm like i don't know what you're talking about and they're like when you went through customs they gave you a thing and i was like no they didn't yeah you got to pay like a hundred fifty five dollars and go they just What?

No, and they're like, you have to go back to the airport. I'm like, what? No, I'm already in. I'm in here, guys. They can't take it away from me now, you know? And by the way, like every other show that I work on outside the country, you don't even say I'm working, say I'm on vacation. Totally.

No one's worrying about this. And I'm like, what are we doing here? So they tell me, me and like another one of the judges, this happened to the other judge. We have to go back to the airport, okay? We have to go back to an airport where there's a strike. happening do you know how hard it is to get around anywhere where people are striking it's almost impossible so we go of course the customs thing is closed because why would it be open the airport

striking so then we have to go to another terminal finally i go talk to some lady she's like why didn't you get this sign i go i i don't know i i put into the kiosk i'm working okay and then someone saw it and then they they didn't direct me to some office how was i to know And she's like, you need this. And I go, I know, that's why I'm back here. I'm not trying to screw you, you know. It's not my fault that you guys don't have a system figured out to send people over to get the money. You know, America would have a system for this.

They would. We're not missing an opportunity to take your money, okay? No. How am I to know this, all right? I'm just going where I'm directed. Travel, especially international travel, hard enough. Just gives me all this attitude. And I'm like, listen, I'm here.

I don't know. They're like, well, I don't know. We'll see if they can, well, they'll allow you. So they send me to a different place. I go to a different place. Sitting there, I got to wait, you know, forever. And then finally I asked to pay whatever about of money. And then they, you know, they send me on my way.

But I'm like, I was in back in the car and I'm doing the show with a, he's, he's not from America, right? He's like one of the judges. And I'm like, I don't even know why we did this. We were already in, you know, like, it doesn't really even matter. We would have been fine, never having to pay this thing. No one would have ever known. No one would have ever cared. And he's like.

that's the most American thing I've ever heard in my life. And I'm like, yeah, you're right. Us Americans, we're not nothing if we're not, ask for forgiveness before permission. That's true. I'm sorry. You didn't do the thing you needed to do to get the money to the thing. Okay.

Well, I'm confused because I've been to Canada three times this year to work and I've never had this happen to me. You didn't do it right. Just so you know. Well, nothing's happened to me. I know. That's what I said. Literally.

No one cares. Anyways, but what was really funny, the last thing about how much I love Canadians is how sweet they are. So at the airport, they're picketing, right? They're marching, you know, which, by the way, I side with the workers here. So what they're striking for is, I guess for Air Canada, if you're a stewardess, you know, sometimes you'll go get on an airplane and you'll sit there at the gate for a couple hours and something happens, mechanical issue or weather, whatever, and you sit for a couple hours. And finally, the crew time is out and they're like, we got to get everyone

off the plane. If you're a stewardess, you only get paid unless the door closes. Yeah, and you push back. But they're working. Like, it's, I know. And I was like, people have striked over this for years. To me, the second you enter the airport, you've I'm working to, you've come to work. I agree. Like, if you're a waiter, when you come to the restaurant, you clock in. Now, it's not my fault that no one's coming in the doors for me to wait on, all right? But I'm clocked in.

I think that's pretty messed up. So anyways, I sign. I agree. I sign with the, with the, with the stewardesses and the stewards. But anyway, so they're all picketing, right? So I'm sitting out there, like, waiting for my car to come get me. And I'm, like, listening to their picket, you know. And then it comes to.

time for them to all leave, right? So there's someone like on a bullhorn being like, you know, like, hell no, we won't go or whatever, you know, whatever their fucking chant is. Yeah. So finally they're like, okay, everybody, time to go home. Now make sure you clean up after yourself. You know, we don't want to leave trash on the floor. Okay, everyone makes sure leave it nicer than we left, you know, leave it nicer than we found it. Okay, everybody. And I'm just sitting there thinking, wow, you Canadians are so sweet. Americans would never. We would probably throw bricks through windows. We would probably

burn the place down. A couple cars would be on fire, but not the Canadians. They're like, okay, yeah, let's go ahead and pick up after ourselves. Anyways, got to love Canadian. They are very nice. Lovely people.

Anyways, we should shut the show. Oh, yep. Go for it. Bros and hose, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast. Well, Zemm. Brandi. Why are you laughing? Matt's never heard the intro to the show, I don't think.

Oh, really? I don't think. Have you? Rose and Hose. You're listening to your favorite thing, Bogg? You never heard that before. What do you think? Is that the night with your podcast?

That's the intro. It's been the intro since day one. Does it really? Yeah. Rose and others. Yeah. You love it. All right, let's talk BIP episode number eight.

Things are getting cutthroat out here. A doozy, huh? Yeah. Was this more dramatic than the last episode? I think it was. I think so, too. Which is kind of crazy. I feel like Bachelor Nation, they're not as angry about Jeremy as they are about maybe Sean, but...

I know, which I don't understand. All right, so people are now starting to do the thing. I think I'm the most excited about is they're talking strategy. Yeah. Well, no, no one except Sean is talking strategy. Kathy's talking strategy. Is she a little? Yeah, I think so.

Meanwhile, what's her fucking guy's name? He's like, I'm just going to self-eliminate. Oh, I know. I love Keith. I feel bad they kept in like the bit where I'm like, Keith is drinking all of my booze. Let's get these guys out of here. It is funny, though.

Keith did, he's also a big dude. He's like probably six, five, you know? Yeah. I would always say, anybody want a peanut? Because I was like, you're Andre the Giant from Princess Bride. So people are starting to stock strategy. strategy. We have a new relationship test and we find out the group will be voting two women home. So we're doing a communication test. First of all, it was the longest day of my life. Okay. And I'm barely

in this thing because I had to like usher everyone into these vans and take them off into the jungle. And then I had to lead all these blindfolded idiots into these boxes. They didn't need me there, if I'm being honest. Like it's nice. I mean, you know, you can. have had some handler do it, but, so it's a communication test with walkie-talkies that fucking suck, okay? I'm going to go ahead and back the cast here. Those walkie-talkies didn't work at all. I felt bad for them.

That's so good. It made the challenge fun, though, like, would have been pointless if they could all understand each other. Yeah. What I learned about from this challenge was people don't see the word spiket a lot in writing. Why not? Like, how does, how do they not know what that is? I think is, I think the way it's spelled.

Spygot. It's SpyG, you know, yeah, it's G-O-T, right? Instead of, but when you say it, you say spiket, right? Spigot. Spigot. Spigot. A spigot. I say spiket.

It kind of sounds like that, but it's spigot. Spigot? Yeah. Does Matt know what a spigot is? Yeah, he knows. You know what a spigot is, right? A tap, yeah. Well, anyways, those idiots don't know what a spigot is.

And everyone's fairly. Brian and Paris fail, Alex and Andrew fail. But Sean and Alicia win. And then are we surprised that Spencer and Jess win? A little, actually. Yeah. Spencer's really tall. And he like, I think he played like wide receiver in college.

Oh, yeah. So he's fast as hell. But little Jess has got some wheels on her. Really? I saw them running away and I was like, holy crap, dude. She is so fast. Did that have a big impact on people's time, just the run to the finish line? At the end, yeah, because I think you can make up a lot of time there.

And also Bailey and Jeremy win. The fastest time goes to Spencer and Jess.

Oh, yeah, by the way, I just want to go ahead and say like a big sorry to Kathy for almost giving her brain damage as she hit her head getting into the van. You know, I've never been a cop, so I don't know that like you got to put their head like in, you know? Right. I loved her reaction.

Yes. She was like, I'm suing. Yeah, it's too good. And she was so annoyed that she didn't have, she wanted to drink so bad. So I was like, let me go get my flask. So if you slow it down, you can see the flask is monogrammed W-A. It's like my own personal one that I give her.

That's really funny. The fact that you have a personalized flask says a lot about you else. What does it say about me? Well, never one that you're an alcoholic. Yeah, fair. I'll tell you why I have it. Because I'm an alcoholic.

No, because I had my golf clubs there. And the day before, they cut it, but I gave like a golf lesson to all the guys on the beach. But it was really more of like, let's talk about your relationships with the girls and, you know, relationships are all about getting out of hazards, which is what we're, anyway. Anyways, so I had my golf bag with me and I have a flask in my golf bag. I'm not sure if that makes it any better or any worse. I'm just telling you what's going on and why I have a flask with me. because I wouldn't like really travel to like a different country with a flask. Okay.

Kathy's is not campaigning, but she's kind of campaigning, right? Totally. Yeah. Kathy's doing it the right way. Yeah, I don't know, but she, I mean, she was campaigning last episode where she was like, I don't buy Kim and Faith. And it's like, yeah, but they actually like each other, whereas you and Keith don't. Right.

Doing mental gymnastics. Love can be found in different ways. And it's like, that's not what we're talking about. We're not talking about friendship. Yeah, but lo and behold, a bunch of friendships sure are lasting, aren't they? Yeah. It seems like almost like all is forgiven with Jeremy. It's his birthday, so they demand a speech.

You know, and a lot's changed in paradise. And one thing I do miss about paradise is that if it ever was your birthday in paradise, it meant bad things were going to happen to you. That's true. It used to be the kiss of death, but not for Jeremy. He gets to give a speech. He says he's thankful for everyone. even Brian, which I, okay, I guess, yeah.

It is sad seeing Leah poolside at night. Everyone's night swimming and being romantic. And she's like, I'm all alone and this is really sad. Yeah, where's Jonathan during all this? Well, he comes and sits down eventually with her and she starts crying. But like, am I a terrible person to be like, dude, you're on vacation? I said this to them. I was like, why can't you guys just have like, you know when you go on vacation and you

and you have a vacation fling and you know nothing's going to come of it, but you're just like, yeah, I'm here, I'm having fun. Yeah, for sure. Well, I'm just like, why can't you guys just do that? Well, because Jonathan is asexual, I think. I'm starting to not disagree with you on that. Like, it's very odd. I'm confused.

If I had been there, I would have said to Leah, like, let's be real. None of these couples are staying together, so there's no reason to be sad. You're not really missing anything. It looks like Jeremy and Bailey are still together. I just don't think that's lasting. And here's the thing. Spencer and Jess are the one that I was like, all right, maybe. You know, we're not really seeing a whole lot of them, which probably means things are going great.

But this week, they start talking about who's moving, and I can just tell neither one of them wants to move. Yeah. So that's – I'm telling you right now that's going to be the deal. deal breaker. Totally. Sean and Alicia start, they start planning. They start scheming a little bit. Yeah.

And we find out that Sean's dad's a politician. Yeah. Why are we just not hearing about that? I don't know. But like, we get it, Sean. You're as a politician. Okay. And also, not surprised.

No. Love you, love you, kid. But I could tell that you come from a family who's got a bunch of slimy politicians in it. Right. For sure. Yeah. Oh, so then Brian gets wind that John's campaigning against him, and Brian kind of loses it. Mm-hmm. Kind of scary a little bit.

A little bit. Sean says cat's gone after Brian, so that seems to obviously piss off Dale. He keeps on telling everyone he's a politician, but I feel like he's not politicianing well. Not at all. It seems like he's just kind of like scheming behind everyone's back is what he's doing. which I guess is sort of being a politician but yeah well no like in a politician like that politician like seems behind just a couple people's backs but he's politician he's scheming behind everyone's back literally everyone and the only one that seems to be there for the right reasons is Keith he's just like

I think the people who are here to for love should be here it's too bad Sean and Kathy aren't dating because they would make a perfect little they'd be like you know bill and Hillary you know two little scheming politicians together. Totally. So Jess and Spencer get to go on their first dates, which is very cute. It's tantric yoga. And they really come together in a lovely way, I suppose.

And then Sean sets up the Parliament of Paradise. You should never come up with your own catchphrases, I think. Definitely not. If someone else comes up with it, it's fine. but if you come up with it, it's like trying to give yourself a nickname. It never works. Nope.

Nope. Cringe. The Parliament of Paradise is hilarious. Jess and Spencer tell each other, kind of in tandem that they're falling in love, which just say, I'm in love with you. I'm starting to fall in love with you. I know.

I've never really understood that. But it's like one of those things that they want to, like, protect their hearts, I guess. I guess. Or I just feel like they've seen people say that on so many seasons of The Bachelor that now that's just what people say. Yeah. I also think it's like, I want you to know how much I like you, but I'm not ready to tell you how much I really like you. Right.

Sean sets up this Parliament of Paradise. He goes and talks to like a couple of the guys, one of which is Andrew, who's friends with Spencer. Hey, we got to get Spencer and Jess out because they're the strongest couple, right? which actually is sound strategy it's good sound strategy but you got to read the room bud and for the first thing Andrew does is goes and tells Spencer which Spencer is like a little golden retriever but there's a little bit of scariness behind those eyes oh for sure you know oh yeah it's the quiet ones you know yes it is the quiet ones yeah spencer confront Sean, he hears him out, is like, all right, kind of forgives him, but then he's like,

keep your friends close and your enemies closer. It's like, oh, my God, Spencer might be smart a little bit here. Like, he's scheming. He's playing the game, I think, the best. Well, yeah, and the best thing he's done is make us believe this whole time that he's not a threat and that he's just a little old retriever. And now it's like, oh, maybe Spencer has a little bite to him, you know? Maybe he's going to actually play the game. We go to a rose ceremony. And the only thing that really stood out to me is that Jeremy's just wearing a wife beater at the rose ceremony. Just like not even trying to put on a collard shirt at this point, you know? Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. I did think he showed up with a collard shirt, but I think... And it's hot as fuck or what? I guess. I don't know. I was like, what is happening here? Jeremy just feels too comfortable in a lot of ways, and I just don't love it. I don't disagree with that.

I don't imagine he's feeling very comfortable right now. Yeah, well, that's what you get. Brian and Jeremy make a pact. How does this make you feel? I don't have any feelings about it. Yeah, I mean, it was funny. They brought in the Godfather music again, which I enjoyed. Yeah, I mean, packs are meaningless.

The minute, it's going to last this week, and then next week they're going to all, you know, fucking shoot each other in the foot, like, just to get the money. It's packs are literally pointless. I'm confused about Alicia, because it seems like she's kind of down with Sean's plan. and then... Yeah, but she didn't really start to freak out until she heard the girls talking about her, right? Yeah.

I mean, obviously, like, we haven't seen a whole lot of her interact with the other girls, you know? Like, I was kind of shocked for her to be like, I'm so close with them. They're my best friends. I just haven't really seen that. But I will say, like, girls are so fucking mean to think that these girls are your friends

and to hear them talking about you when you're not there. I can see how that's very, like, emotional and very upsetting. You know what I mean? That's like a fucking bummer. Yeah, totally. All these girls just seem very clicky and, I don't know.

I just don't love it. Yeah, I don't know if they're all going to be friends after this, like a lot of The Bachelor people are, you know? Yeah. Cat and Dale are boyfriend and girlfriend, a note from fourth grade, which is cute, I guess. Yeah, well. So then I think, like, the climax of the episode is when Sean pulls cat.

and, you know, Sean's under the impression that he and Kat are friends, and it seems like Cat doesn't see that that way. This conversation does not go well. Sean goes off on her. Then Dale confronts her. So let's just talk about like the Sean and Kat conversation. Were you surprised how either of them reacted? I was a little surprised by how passionate Sean's reaction was, I think. what that tells me is that they probably were friends outside of the show and I think he's genuinely just like really mind-blown that she's decided to to just like jump ship on him so quick you know what I mean like it seems to me like it's not convenient all of a sudden for Kat to be friends with Sean so now she's trying to backtrack and that doesn't shock me like I kind of get that that's kind of the vibe

she's been giving but I was really surprised like how upset he was well you know they said it And earlier in the season where, like, Kat's like, I love this guy. He's one of my friend, like one of my best friends, vouching for him to Alicia, I think. Yeah. So, yeah, it is interesting. There has been a total switchup. Dale goes in confront Sean, which makes Kat all excited in the Pantel region. We get to the rose ceremony. Kathy and Keith are somehow still on this show, even though. And Keith doesn't even want to be. He doesn't want to be. He wants to be. He wants to go home and see his daughters and stuff. Yeah.

I guess Alicia reads the room and realizes their fucks as she interrupts Jesse, which, okay, I mean, to me, it's like, you don't know yet. Why are you doing this beforehand? I think she was just over and wanted to leave after the girls decided to be bitches. Mm-hmm. That's what I think. And I think she was over Sean, too, being like, you fuck this whole thing up. If we had just been cool, it would have been, if nothing had been said, what would have gone down? would have been Jonathan and Leia and Kathy and Keith.

And then it would have been like, okay, now it's just couples. Let's see what happens. But Alicia interrupts. She decides to leave because she's like, we're going to leave with integrity and our heads held high. And then Sean's like, I'm not. Which I kind of loved it. truly like i i loved his line about cat don't call me crying when dale dumps you like because that's

gonna happen i mean well because it's funny because it's what happened to her last time right with like john henry and so she called him and was like hey he broke out you know uh-huh i love he was like yeah yeah yeah that's cool alicia i'm glad you're living with integrity not me fuck you fuck you Oh, fuck you. I loved it. I kind of loved it, too. I thought I was a great mic drop moment for old Shottie boy. It was.

So Leah gets the last rose and Brian and Parisa leave. Like, what? I don't get it. How are you guys, the show is supposed to be about love. And two couples that are actually into each other are gone from the show. and two couples who want nothing to do with the other sexually are still in it. Yeah, I think especially this week, these girls are just pulling the strings. I think they wanted Brian and Parisa gone because Brian made them all look bad with to Bailey.

So they're like, he's got to go. And then obviously, Sean dug their grave. So, yeah. Oh, that's the episode. Any last thoughts? Not really. Yeah. I'm excited that we're at this point of the season.

But it's almost over. So there's effectively two episodes left. You know, I know what happens and it gets really freaking juicy. Great. We love that. We love that. Any favorite things, bro? I feel like I don't.

Okay. I'm trying to think. Have we watched any television this week? Yeah, Paradise, yeah. I know. I don't think we have. We've been on the road since Thursday. Have you been watching anything?

Yeah, I got some stuff. What do you got? Before I left, Sarah and I, are like before we go to bed show was outlander which i have never seen that show i think you'd love it that's what everybody says like even i'm a boy and i like it you like it yeah i mean it is okay it's a romance novel and also a time travel novel there's a lot of sex in it it's fantastic there is one there's a couple episodes where jamie gets raped by randall Officer Randall.

I don't love that. It's really hard. It's really hard to watch. So we've been watching that. Mainly to get ready for the new season of Outlander, Blood of My Blood. Have you heard about Blood of My Blood? No, tell me.

This prequel to the Outlander series focuses on the lives and courtship of their parents, Jamie Frazier, Brian Frazier, and Ellen McKenzie, as well as Claire Beecham's parents, Henry Beecham, and Julie Morrison. So same thing. There is time travel going on. We're using the stones to two time travel. But you're meeting a lot of the characters

from the Outlander series that are old when they're young. So it's very fun. You're like, oh, that's so-and-so. Oh, that's fun. So anyways, blood of my blood, very fun. But I would say this, you should go watch. The name is insane. I know.

Well, it's also, I feel like that's from Game of Thrones. Right? It sounds like it. Yeah. But you, Matt might like it. You think? Okay, so this is why it's cool for guys. Because of all the sex?

No, I mean, yeah, that's pretty great. You do see a lot of titties. A lot of titties, huh? A lot of titties. You're trying to sell me on a show that we watch together. The selling point for you is that there's a lot of titties. You're supposed to say, I don't need to say, I don't need to say. see a lot of titties because I like your titties or something.

I like red titties. Funful set of. More titty. The more to merrier, all right? He says the more the merrier. I'm cracking up. Anyways, it's fun for boys because it's like they're in the highlands of Scotland. There are riding horses.

It's like wars happening. A lot of killing. It's similar to Game of Thrones in that way. Or like the fun things about Game of Thrones. There's no dragons or anything. But there is time travel. It's like two really cool times. right after World War I, and then back in the 1700s, which is almost like medieval times or

whatever. It's one of those shows where like it's four women, but guys can be into it. Maybe I'll give it a go. Watch the first episode and see what you think. Okay. I started Wednesday, season two on Netflix. Oh, yeah. You love that show.

I like, well, you know, I am in Adams. I like it. I have a theory. I want to give the, I want to give the, I want to give the, the. Y of T here is the theory. I think Lurch has something to do with this. And I'll tell you why, all these crows keep coming around, you know? And there's one crow that's got like the cataract eye.

And you know who else has a cataract eye? Who? Lurch. I think Lurch is controlling the birds or something. I think Lurch is all a part of this. I will say Pugsley's power is pretty fucking dope, dude. I do like that. And I can tell you what's going to happen.

Wednesday's little cute little room. is going to die like she foresees and Pugley Pugsley's probably going to start her heart back up with his little power of electricity. Anyways, I love Wednesday. It's a very fun show. It's cute. Oh, my good friend, Jim Jeffries, the comedian. He's got a new special out on Netflix called Two Limb Policy. Jim's just the funniest freaking person in the world. I highly recommend it. And I finally finished Shane Gillis's show, Tires, season two. You love it? it's so good and I got to be honest with you

like the first season was like all right what are we doing here the second season really is finding its legs and now I know what's going to happen with the third season which Shane's dad is going to now

probably take over the store he's so funny Thomas Hayden Church plays his dad and he's so good you don't like comedy so this isn't for you but if you like comedy out there tires is pretty great

You don't like comedy. The last thing, I don't like to be political, but I don't even know how I feel about Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, but he is doing something that's fucking hilarious, all right? And as a person who appreciates good comedy, I got to say, it is very funny. Gavin Newsom has started trolling Donald Trump by tweeting the way Donald Trump tweets in like all caps and like run on sentences and like everyone's saying how great I am. This is the best. It's hilarious. Now, is it terrifying that this is where our country is? Absolutely. Yes. But, but you have to give credit where credit is due. And that shit is funny as hell. So good on you, Gavin Newsom. This is, we are truly living in the dumbest time. We are. Might as well be entertained by it, I guess. Yeah. None of it matters. We're not in control. All right. Kill all the billionaires, dude. Get rid of them. Are you drinking Diet Coke? Yes.

That's so strange. Brandy, I woke up 15 minutes before we started doing this show. I already drank my coffee. Listen, by the way, by the way, I've said it before, can we just put fucking normal coffee machines in hotels? Why does it always have to be the pods that are the tiniest little espresso things? And to make a normal cup of copy, I got to hit the button 17 times to fill it up. I don't understand. What you want, like a curing?

Yeah. Yeah. What's funny is curing coffee makers are way cheaper than the espresso ones. I know. But like every hotel you go to is an espresso. It is. Why? I don't know.

Great question. I'll tell you what. The Baymont doesn't have shit. Oh, yeah, they do. Yeah, I can see it back there. It's like, I can't really see from this far, but it's like the Mr. Coffee brand. You know, it's like the budget curing. Yeah, with like the plastic tray that you slide in.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I know. All right. Well, that's all I got for YFT this week. Okay. Same zies. All right. Well, enjoy Durango.
