And we're off. How's everybody doing out there? I'm officially in New York. New York City. Out here cheering on my beautiful wife in Little Shop of Horrors.

Little Shop, Little Shop of Horrors. Pop, sh-pop. And yeah. Feeling good. feeling great. You always got to run over to the theater to see Sarah's show because I'm a supportive husband, the most supportive husband there's ever been. That's not true.

There's plenty of supportive husbands out there, but I'm up there, top 10, maybe 20 20 in the world which is not easy to do you know so we're gonna do this app and then i'm gonna run on out i got the boo with me we flew out here on bark air i'll tell you all about it once brandy gets on because it was pretty crazy experience i gotta be honest with you couldn't believe it i was on the second ever flight from here, New York, trying to not let the city turn me into something that I'm not. Everyone in New York is always in a hurry. Everyone's so angry.

And I'm not that person. I'm a very happy person. I'm a very happy, go lucky, happy person. I can't let the city change me. Even though I do find myself yelling, not yelling, yelling inside, internal yelling, being like, hurry the fuck up. Anyways. Let's call a brand eye.

Bing bong boom. Diddle diddle diddle. Dong dong. We're calling it up. Bing bong boom. Hi. What is the tea? I'm dying to know.

Ask me all the questions. How was Bark Air? Oh, I was just telling the Y of tears. I came over on Bark Air. How was it? Amazing. I gotta be honest. Tell me everything.

Okay. So for those of you that don't know, Bark Air is the company that does like Bark Boxes, right? Oh, it's the same? It is the same. One and the same. Right now they've got three flights, LA to New York and then New York to LA and then also New York to London.

Oh. Sunny London town. Genius. to LA, and then also New York to London. Oh. Sunny London town. And it's for people whose dogs can't be emotional support animals and fly on planes in the cabin with you. And a lot of people are scared to put the dogs underneath the plane, which I totally understand because I think it gets very cold down there. A lot of dogs die. Yes, I've heard horror stories of dogs dying down there.

It's crazy. I don't even know why they would allow something like that if dogs die. Yes, I've heard horror stories of dogs dying down there. It's crazy. I don't even know why they would allow something like that if dogs died down there. It's because people are fucking dumb. Don't even get me started. I know, but if there was a chance that your dog could die, why would you do it? No, I know. Because people are dumb. I guess.

We know this. Yeah. I show up at Van Nuys Airport, and we get there. And so you have to get there about an hour early so your dog can meet the other dogs, and they can see, like, who's. So we meet all the dogs, and it was really nice. They had, like, a full breakfast station, like, making omelets. But I was so anxious that I was like, I can't focus on that.

What were you anxious about? I don't want. Well, okay, so on the flight was Josh Groban. What were you anxious about? I don't want, well, okay, so on the flight was Josh Groban. And the first dog that Boo meets is Josh Groban's dog. And his dog is really cute and is like trying to play with all the big dogs, you know? He's got like a little dog.

He's like a puppy. He's like 11 months old. And of course, Boo like immediately goes and snaps at him. Boo! I know, and I was like, oh my god. Of course my dog is gonna take a chunk out of Josh Groban's cute little white dog.

And I was like, oh no. So they're like, dude, do you want breakfast? And I was like, no, I'm trying to hold back my dog from killing Josh Groban's dog, which is just so funny that it was Josh Groban's dog. That's really good. Boo like meets everyone and I've got anxiety and yada, yada, yada. And so I try to get her to go to the bathroom outside, which that's a whole other conversation about Boo and not wanting to shit or piss on concrete, which is terrible considering I'm going to the concrete jungle.

Oh, Astra would never. No dogs do, I feel like. Yeah. I am freaking out. I take her out to the tarmac, and she will not pee at all. She's just like, what's going on? Did she go before you left the house? Yeah.

So I gave her a gamma pentin, like a dog relaxant, at like 7. The flight was at 9, right? So at 7. So my brother drives us over there and Boo is just like off the walls, like going crazy in the car. And my brother's like, dude, you're gonna need to give her another pill.

Oh no. So I get there. She snaps at Josh Groban's dog. I'm like, oh God, here we go. So then there's a vet there and I'm like, she's getting another, got a bent and she's getting another pill. And she was like, what kind of pills?

And I was like, don't, that lady, leave me alone. I got a drug overdose, my dog over here. So then I gave her another pill. That doesn't seem to be doing anything. So then finally they're like, all right, we're going to board you in order of like what dogs we think will be compatible sitting next to one another, right? Oh, my God.

How many dogs were there? Eight dogs. Remember how you were like, there's not going to be any other dogs? I couldn't believe it. I can. I was blown away by it. What's the maximum capacity for dogs on those planes?

We were close. I think maybe we could have fit one or two more dogs. It's a lot on a plane. Yeah. So we walk out the tarmac. It is a full-on huge ass private jet okay i mean yeah so there's a green carpet right in front of right in front of the the the plane so we so we take our picture with boo getting on a private plane i love this for her We go up. We find our seat.

We sit down. And Boo's just like, what the fuck is happening here? And I'm like, oh my God, okay. So then all of a sudden they come over and they give me a menu. And you would think it would be a menu for the humans. Oh, no. Oh, no. It's a menu for the dogs.

Of course. Let me read for you the menu. I can't wait. It was bonkers. Okay. Bark air, doggy fine dining menu, beverages, doggy champagne with hints of tennis ball and freshly mown grass. Stop it. Water, choice of still, sparkling, or toilet.

Throughout today's flight, we are delighted to offer a variety of barks, finest treats, lucky duckies, Turkey and duck treats, frosted socks, yogurt, berry, fruity toot loops,

mixed berry, go nuts, honey, peanut for dessert because pups deserve all the sweet things in life. Your choice of Barker Chino, a treat guarantee to send your taste bug sky high doggy donut delights the finest dessert man has to offer now served fresh for a man's best friend contains cheese bon appetit but bone is spelled like bone like a dog bone

so i'm like okay this is insane right i think it's great. Yeah. So then finally, the second galapentin starts to kick in on the old boob, the boober. Poor boo. And she's like, I'll try to keep her eyes open. But like things are happening. Like we're about to take off, you know. Oh, no. We pull back. We start going.

And boo's just like, what the fuck is going on right now? So then we take off and she's doing pretty good, right? And I'm chit-chatting with everyone and finally Boo falls asleep and we're flying. And then I start to snooze. And here's my only complaint with Bark Air. Okay. complaint with bark air okay the bark air stewardess stewards or whatever are constantly walking up and down like getting things for dogs treats you know uh that one point they had a doggy spa mask that they're putting on dogs faces and every time they would come but through they're

giving they're giving a a treat to a dog anytime one dog sees that another dog's getting a treat, it's like, wait, what the fuck? Wait, hold on. I want one of these things. What's going on? And so I'm sitting there being like, can you guys stop? Yeah.

Because she just fell asleep and now she's freaking out because Groban's dog is getting a treat. But I obviously didn't say anything. And then, so then they finally, they give us a box of food for the humans which was delicious and in the box was a cupcake and it looked like a totally normal human cupcake and i was like is this for the dogs or for the humans and everyone's like i think that's

for the dogs i was like i don't know so then i take a bite of it delicious oh like a carrot cake situation with a nice frosting. And I'm like, you guys are saying that this is for the humans, or this is for the dogs, but this is for the humans. And they're like, no, that's for dogs. I had eaten half a dog cupcake,

and it was great, and then I gave the other half to Boo, and she's like, motherfucker, why are you? I mean, they were trying to tell you. I know, but it tasted so good. I didn't know. So anyways,

we get through it. Landing's a little tough, a little rough. You know, like, not that the flight, it was just like the dogs were like, what's going on? Where do they land you, Teterboro? Westchester. Oh.

Real rich people area. I'm flying in being like, this is not the New York I know. This is beautiful. There's golf courses and giant mansions everywhere. I'm like, did they take me to the wrong place? So then we land, and a fleet of black cars pulls up. golf courses and giant mansions everywhere i'm like did they take me to the wrong place so then we land and a fleet of black cars pulls up we get off i take her like out into the grassy area like

on the airfield or whatever she pees we're like yes that's good good news and then we get into the car now mind you brandy boo's first flight anywhere is private, okay? And then her first Uber is in a black car, okay? And by this time, the drugs are wearing off very, very quickly, okay? Uh-huh. So much so that I'm like, oh no, what do I do? So she's in the car, she is going fucking nuts. And it's a nice black car and she's like on

every chair she's jumping around she's like you know in the seat right behind the driver and she's sniffing the dog the driver's you know ear and like licking him and I'm like trying to roll on the window to be like just you know put your nose out the window that's not working so it's an hour and a half drive from Westchester into Manhattan the entire time I'm holding her in a headlock, just being like, you gotta stay here. And she's like, no, I don't wanna. I have so much energy. You drugged me earlier, you fucking asshole.

So I text Sarah and I'm like, I need you to come help me. I have so many bags, right? Like, I'm basically living in New York for the rest of summer with Sarah. I've got all my stuff. And Sarah's like, well, I got to go get the packages from downstairs. And I'm like, leave the packages! Come help me!

And she's like, no, it's fine. And I text her. I'm like, no. I need you to be outside immediately. I need you to take this dog. My arm is tired. The dog's been in a headlock for an hour and a half from Westchester to Manhattan. So what you're saying is this has taken years off your life. Yes. Yes. Which isn't great since you're already kind of old.

Thank you. We already did the 40-year-old episode. So then we get here. Now going back to boo doesn't shit or piss in concrete. There is nowhere to take this dog. Okay. We are 12 blocks from Central Park, okay? Why didn't you guys get a place on Central Park for this reason?

Because Sarah wanted to be close to the theater. Yeah, I get it, but I think this is priority. Think about how many times you gotta take the dog out a day. I know, so... Go to the theater once a day. She doesn't piss or shit. She pees in the house

once, which is fine, whatever. I finally get her to pee outside one time. That's a big thing. A couple days go by, she hasn't shit in a couple days. I'm like, okay. Finally, I walk her all the way over to

Central Park. There's parts in the park where you can have the dogs in the grass area. Yeah. So I take her over there and I'm like, you got to go pee pee, go pee pee. Let's go. Go poo poos. Nothing. No.

Finally, I'm like, maybe it's because I was thinking, you know, it was it was you don't want to shit and piss on concrete. Then I'm thinking maybe it's because she's on the leash. So then I release her from her shackles. Oh, boy. All right? The chains are off. Nope. She is not happy. Maybe the drugs stopped her up a little.

Maybe. That's a good possibility. Anyways, no poop. The next day I'm like, we got to do something. You know, I don't know what we got to do something you know i don't know what we gotta do is we gotta put an enum up this dog's ass but this dog no we don't do that of course so finally the next day we walk outside in the morning and boo takes a poo that's right um but she used to poo after every meal not Not anymore. Now it's like maybe once a day. Maybe.

But I got her. So today's like, I don't know, day five or something. I got her to poop this morning. And also, it's tough because New Yorkers are already so angry, you know. And I want her to piss in the street. That's where they're supposed to piss. But sometimes she just pisses on the sidewalk, you know? And every New Yorker's are like, what the fuck's going on?

Also, she has this really weird affliction where she has like really soft paws. So we put shoes on her, right? Every time she goes outside, she's got to wear these shoes. Every New Yorker has to make a comment about the shoes. Oh, look at the shoes. Oh, that's so cute. Why does a dog have shoes on? And then this kid's like in Spanish being like,

zapatos, zapatos, zapatos. I'm like, oh my God, I got to fucking deal with the shoes. Anyways, I think we've kind of figured it out. We've got a little bit of a balcony, so we bought one of those like little grass mats that maybe she can piss and shit on. That hasn't worked yet. And of course, so we buy the grass mat thing.

And it's a windy day yesterday. It comes in, we put it outside. We're like, here, piss here, shit here. The windy day, we go and we do something. We go to lunch or something and come back. The wind has taken the piss mats far down Seventh Avenue. It's gone. So anyways, long story short, bark air, ding, ding, no. Seventh Avenue. It's gone. So anyways, long story short, Bark Air, ding, ding, ding, one of my favorite things.

Wow. Bark Air is very good. Highly recommend if you have to get your dog across the country and you don't want to drive. So I can only assume that eventually Boo is going to have to fly back to L.A. on Bark Air. Yes, or we'll drive back. But yes, I'm thinking fly is the only way to do it. Yeah. Yeah.

Quick question. Yeah. Was Josh Groban himself on the plane, or did he have a handler bring the dog? Oh, no, it was just him and his dog, George, is the dog's name. Love that. He's a very nice gentleman.

Okay. We should start the show. Yeah, you or me? It's you. Love that. He's a very nice gentleman. Okay. So. We should start the show. Yeah. Is it you or me? I think it's you. Bros and hoes, you're listening to Your Favorite Thing Podcast with. Wells and Brandy.

Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling. I don't have my bell. Sorry, I forgot to bring that. Mine's just really far. You have it. You just. I can't reach. I mean, mine's 2,000 miles away. Yours is.

Two feet? Two feet. She can't be bothered I mean, mine's 2,000 miles away. Yours is... Two feet? Two feet. She can't be bothered. She cannot be bothered. I cannot.

Okay. Four shows on the weekends. Noted. So a lot. Okay. Four shows on the weekends. Noted. So a lot. Okay. A lot of shows. So sorry, YFTers, we gotta cut this short

because I gotta go support my wife. As you should. Do you have some faith things, bro, or what's going on? Bro, I've been working. Have you?

How was your birthday? Yeah, like big birthday month over here for YFT. Yeah. Both of us are freaking May birthday is what. My birthday was lit.

It was honestly a complete whirlwind because I had May birthday is what. My birthday was lit. It was honestly a complete whirlwind because I had to work all weekend. Yeah. But it was fun. Dallas was super fire. I actually,

I was there. I was the grand opener for this new day club. Cool. In Dallas called the Village Beach Club. If you live in Dallas, highly recommend

if you're looking to party and looking to hit the pool. Love it. They have like two or three different pools and then the DJ in the middle. It's a really cute area of Dallas, actually. It's an apartment complex and there's a hotel there and tons of shopping and food. It's very cute. And yeah, that show was lit.

People came to freaking party. Also, though, Dallas, you are so fucking humid. What is happening? It didn't used to be that way. It literally felt like Houston. It was so nasty. But other than that, great time. Flew home, played Nashville on Sunday.

We were under a tornado watch, you know, and I was playing on the rooftop. So that was cool. But other than the weather, super lit show. A lot of my friends came out, which was fun. But you know how it is like here's why i don't like birthdays i think okay i obviously like would i want all my friends to come that want to come like like yeah it's fun to like have a party and like there'd be a lot of people

there but like i can't shake the responsibility of like entertaining everybody and wrangling everybody and yeah like even though it's my birthday i'm like the most sober of everyone because that's just not hello that's who i am and so just wrangling and making sure everyone's good and happy and like you like we're going here but like no pressure but like if you want to you know what i mean like just a lot it was a lot but it was very fun trace came out we went to a very nice dinner at so house after some of us and i gotta say the say, the food at Soho House Nashville is just way better than all the others. I don't know why, but it's really good. And then I was in bed by 11 o'clock.

It was honestly lovely. Good for you. Yeah. Did you get any good gifts? I got a really cute top, a Jack Moose top for my friend Gabby. That's really cute. My sister,

I will reach for the bell on this one because it was a really, really nice thing. I sent her a picture a few weeks ago of my riding boots that I ride in every day. And the sole is just like completely off of them. Like my foot's exposed kind of thing. And I was like, don't know if you've already gotten me a gift, but I could really use some new riding boots. They're not cheap, you know? And I was like was like, no pressure, but if you're looking for something. And she sent me a new pair. So that was a

really, really great gift because I really needed it and didn't really want to drop the money on them. I got a couple of really lovely flower arrangements from my team. That was nice. But gifts, I don't really care about gifts. And I think my friends know that for the most part. Or they're cheap. I don't know. I think they don't like gifts. A couple of my friends have gotten me gifts in the past gifts, I don't really care about gifts. And I think my friends know that for the most part. Or they're cheap.

I don't know. I think they don't like gifts. A couple of my friends have, like, gotten me gifts in the past, and now they don't. And I think it's because they know it makes me, like, uncomfortable. You know, I posted about your birthday, and you did not repost it. I didn't repost anyone's. But mine was great. It was fine.

It was pretty funny. It was fine. All of our photos are so ancient, it's actually nuts. It's great. And Trace posted the most hideous photo of me I've ever seen. I love it. That's why I wanted to see it.

No. I want to see all of them. No. No. No. Yeah, you should, the YFTers should know that Podcast Nation has been begging us

to do new photos, and we refuse. We literally refuse. We said no. I think my exact word to the team was, new pictures of us aren't going to get more people to listen to this show. So let's just use the old ones.

And I feel that because no one's going to see the new pictures and be like, he's even better looking than he was 10 years ago when they started this show. No one's going to say that. All right? They're going to say, Jesus Christ, look at that. All the sun damage. I don't want to watch that. I don't want to listen to that show.

You know? Yeah. So. But you have birthdays, you know? Birthdays, man. They're coming to go. Yeah. I don't know.

33? Yeah. Do you want to do something special for 35 or now no good good for you yeah i don't want to go anywhere for your 35th birthday so you know i'm actually not 33 right what are you 34 37 oh okay well do you have something big for 40 no oh good don't do it unless you go to Bandon Dunes. I was going to say, truthfully, probably a trip. Yeah, well, I'll come.

Yeah. If I'm invited. But I can't even think about 40. That just really makes me want to barf. Yeah. No offense. Well, happy birthday. Thanks. In the news, did you see Northwest's performance on The Lion King?

I cannot say I did. Okay, well, I think we need to... Is this news? I have something to say about it, so yeah. Okay. So, Northwest, Kanye and Kim's daughter, is for some reason been cast in The Lion King as the young lion. What is that lion's name? Simba? Simba.

Simba. Everyone's up in arms because she's terrible. It just seems like nepotism at its finest, right? The kid from Stranger Things was the original one, and he's so good. And then it's like, well, hold on. This is terrible. I'll play for you the minute and 15 second video of Northwest. And listen, I'm not trying to rip on an 11-year-old kid. Like, that's not where... I mean, that is what you're doing. I'm going to get around to who I think is at fault here

and why I think this is wrong. But anyways, I think you need to have some context. Here it is. For sure. So, like, does it know the dance moves? It's fine. Oh, God. Everyone else is sending it. Oh, yeah.

There's like one zebra lady that's like constantly moving her around. I just can't wait to be king. I just can't wait to be king. I just can't wait. So it's me. So anyways, it's not the best, but listen, she's in love with a New York kid. And so I give her all the grace in the world. And also, like, she's an 11-year-old kid. And so I give her all the grace in the world. And also like what an amazing experience that she got to do. And like good for her for like having, I guess, the cojones to go and do it.

Right. My thing is this. She's getting a lot of hate on social media. And I think she's old enough now to be on social media. Probably. Which makes me feel bad for her. I know. What makes me angry about this aside from the nepotism and like obviously kim and kanye just paid for her to be to do this right at the

hollywood bowl in front of 20 000 people is that those two parents probably knew it wasn't going to be it was not going to be a great look and they've allowed their kid to be subjected to the meanness of social media because yeah because why because you wanted her to have an experience okay great but i feel like the experience now is going to be very very bad well yeah and the thing is like that's going to live online forever yes and like listen the thing about it is is that she she has no business being up there in front of 20,000 people because that's not where you start in this world. If you're going to be a performer, it blows my mind that Kanye allowed this.

Because Kanye is a performer and it took him years to hone his craft and get really good and then be able to play the Madison Square Gardens or the Hollywood Bulls. He didn't just start playing the Hollywood Bull. He was playing small venues and stuff and working his way up and learning and all that kind of stuff. And they have taken that away from her. I mean, the performance is terrible, but it's great if it was regional theater, you know, or like community theater where she was learning how to do this. theater you know or like community theater where she was learning how to do this what really bugs me about the whole thing is this is kanye i think mainly kim using their daughter for more attention

i don't think this was at all for the daughter i think this was completely for them and there's a little bit of this one obviously kanye has had a terrible track record recently of bad publicity. And so has Kim with this whole thank you Amy Taylor Swift thing. And it was like this is the way that you're trying to get back into the graces. And the other thing is that I do think the Kardashians are just like losing relevancy just in the general zeitgeist of celebrity. And this just seems so gross to me and i just also think it's just a bad example of like how you should come up and become a performer and an entertainer i just don't think i think you try to skip a bunch of steps and i don't think

that's right there is a bunch of nepotism out there but some of it's like really really well deserved like annie mcdowell's daughter is fucking awesome at everything she does dude fucking ethan hawk's daughter is so fucking good at everything she does judd apatow's kids are so fucking that's deserved totally you know this just seems like you did it for yourself and that makes it so much worse than just the performance being kind of subpar it just seems like you did it for yourself, and that makes it so much worse than just the performance being kind of subpar. It just seems like, oh. And then there was 20,000 people there being like, what are we supposed to, are we supposed to,

is this good? Like, what are we, you know, with the cheer, but they, I don't know. That's just my thoughts on it. It's some very passionate thoughts. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, like, for you, like like you play big rooms now right but like i remember when you were first starting and you were like learning how to do the thing

like in your in your uh you know apartment over there in woodbine woodbine is that where you lived yeah in nashville if your dad or your sister got you to fucking dj at madison square garden for the first time you'd be like, I'm not ready to do this. Like, I need to learn all this stuff, you know? Yeah. Anyways, this is my thought. True. True.

Anyways, I feel bad for her. I know, I do too. That's going to live forever, you know? Yeah. Yeah. So. So do we have any actual favorite things or? Yes, I do.

Okay. Netflix has a new show that Shane Gillis has done called Tires. Okay. It's very much boy humor. I get it. But yeah, so it's Shane Gillis and a bunch of his comedian friends. They all work at an oil change tire mechanic shop. And it's just very funny.

And if you like comedy, which brandy doesn't um highly recommend the first episode is a little shaky but it's a pilot you know or whatever you got to kind of set the stage i guess a little bit but like as the episodes go on they get increasingly funnier and funnier and it was picked up for two more seasons so it's not going anywhere anyways ding ding ding shangri-la's tires very very good okay well i was like scrolling through all the apps last night the tv apps and like there's just nothing on yeah i don't know i'm i guess it's that summer lull we're starting to hit you know yeah i guess so also the strike yeah the strike to screw everything up i saw this thing on tiktok recently that they were like

the streaming bubble is about to burst. And I think that's, I think it's very, very true because Netflix, especially their business model was very much like a tech bubble or real estate bubble where a bunch of people invested in, in futures of like what the possibilities were. And so they were able to make a bunch of content with that money along with

the consumer's subscription fees. And now they're not able to have return on investment because they're out of money. Like the bubble burst effectively. And I just think that everyone needs to get together. We need to band together and we need to go back to cable. That's all I'm saying. You say it every week.

I know I do. I know. Literally. Are you caught up on under the bridge by chance? For the most part, I'm caught up on dark matter under the bridge. I think so. So did you see part on Under the Bridge by chance? For the most part, I'm caught up on Dark Matter. Under the Bridge, I think so. So did you see part one of the trial?

Yes, I have. And the little boy is screwed. I feel bad. I know he's not innocent. He's not. But I still feel bad. I know, but then also the main character, what's her name? Riley Keough. Riley Keough, when she goes and hugs him in front of the parents.

I know. You're the worst main character. I hate you. Here's what makes me so angry. If this little bitch gets off because her parents are rich and can afford an expensive lawyer, I am going to be pissed because she's the devil. Yeah.

She is the devil. And I think that's what's so hard to watch about it all is, like, we're watching him get punished, you know? And even though he did wrong, and I'm not saying he was innocent, I just, like, he's not the devil in the same way. Like, I don't think he... I think he has a lot of remorse and, like, I don't know.

Like, where she has zero, you know? Yeah. So I'm like, if she doesn't get what's coming to her, I'm going to be very upset. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to be very upset Do we have any calls? Oh we do have voicemails I thought so But do we even want to use them? You're the producer

Will you tell me? I am the producer Let's do a couple of them I am the producer This one's called Washed hi um my name is mary and i was calling because you guys have been talking a lot about like washing your hands yeah going to the bathroom after you pee verse poop etc yeah and i had a thought That a belt Is really dirty because

A belt is something you always touch Right after you go to the bathroom And wipe or whatever And a belt never gets washed That's very true Bye She's right That's going to keep me up at night

That one Fuck 100% correct How do you wash a belt That is going to be, that's going to keep me up at night. That one. Fuck. 100% correct. Yeah. How do you wash a belt? I mean, you could just take like a sanitizing wipe to the buckle. Yeah, I guess you could do that. But also like, you know, you go into like an airport bathroom or a gas station bathroom

and you have to take a, you got to take the pants down the back of the belt. Oh, but I, ew, ew. I hate when you do that. All right, that was one of the best calls you've ever had, I think. I agree, yeah. All right, this one's called Long. She should take my job. Come on, baby.

Let's go. Mary? Her name is Mary? I think her name was Mary. Hi, Bells and... Nope, let's start over. Yeah. Hi, Wells and Brand Mar... Nope. Let's start over. Yeah. Hi,

Wells and Brandy. Nailed it. Sorry, I did not take my ADHD medicine this morning. Bear with me. Understood. Love the pod. Thanks. I'm Bailey. I'm from Mississippi. I'm Bailey. I just finished listening to what Gary did. Is that what the episode name was? Anyway, I was listening to Wells'

attempt at the Southern accent when discussing Shakespeare. And I honestly was a little disappointed because I know that he went to Ole Miss. So I would have thought that like his lived experience would have, you know, supported any type of attempt at the southern accent um so that being said that made me think about like oh well isn't the old miss and brandy was like just in mississippi for a show when the coach i was um and you know like famous people don't come to mississippi or know about mississippi or anything like. So I was curious about, wait, oh, my God, someone's trying to call me right now. Who calls somebody on the phone? ADD.

I need some meds. Anyhoo, I was curious about, like, what was y'all's, your favorite thing when you've been, when you were in Mississippi? Oh, great question. Did you get to your Ole Miss bubble or did you, like, explore? And, like, Brandyy did you just come in and do the show and then leave or did you like meet cool people or like what were those experiences um and then I started thinking about how I'm like rambling on this voicemail or whatever and I was

wondering like how many of these do y'all get like in a week and well do you like listen to all of them and then you pick which ones you're gonna do on the show or how does that process go because i feel like i've been talking for six minutes now or something and you're probably super tired of me yeah but anyway we are a little bit um curious about the like bts of these calls okay um and so just gonna close out with um i'm gonna read that a few of those shakespeare lines that wells attempted okay do it and like the voice that i use when i'm mimicking my dad and my grandpa this is great okay just so that we can like jump start refining wells yes southern accent love that bailey do it yeah But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who's already sick and pale with grief, that thou her maid art far more than she. So anyway, you can use that as a little... She's way

better than you. So good! Journey to perfect your son in action. Thanks for doing the pod. Y'all are the best. Love you. Okay, bye. Hark. My favorite.

What lap from yonder window breaks? My favorite was the two syllables in sun. Yeah. The sun. The sun. The sun.

Sun. That's my favorite. I loved how chaotic that message was. Oh, she's great. She's my favorite. I loved how chaotic that message was. Oh, she's great. She's so fun. I hate to break it to her, but Mississippi wasn't giving me much to talk about. I can give you some good shit about Mississippi.

The only good thing I have to say about, well, besides I go to a horse show down there and it is lovely. The horse show was great. But there's a restaurant in Gulfport, Mississippi called Half Shell. Chef's Kiss. Oh, yeah. So fucking good. The crab cake. Oh, my God. It's so good. was great but there's a restaurant in gulfport mississippi called half shell chef's kiss oh yeah so fucking the crab cake oh my god it's so good yeah the mississippi gulf coast is pretty dope i will say that like is it i don't think so but the food's pretty good okay well i'm going to say it is i enjoy it okay well i mean you're going down to that area now i mean you're gonna be in alabama but it's like right there it Alabama. It's just right there. Right there.

Gulf Shores, Alabama is pretty awesome, I gotta say. Favorite thing about Mississippi? There are a lot of things that I do not like about Mississippi that I wish we could change, but there are a lot of things. The bugs? The humidity? The humidity was pretty bad. At Ole Miss, what I loved the most

was the Grove, where we tailgated. That was amazing. I also just thoroughly enjoyed my time there. And the people there were lovely. We had this thing called Chicken on the Stick, which was a chevron that sold fried chicken on a stick that you'd get after the bar. You can shake your head all you like. I think Anthony Bourdain did an episode where he went and had it and was like, this is fucking amazing.

So whatever. Chicken on a stick. It just such a cultural phenomenon okay one of my favorite things i don't i don't even know if they still have it but like halfway between oxford and memphis was a place called graceland 2 which was this guy's house that was a huge Elvis fan and had this shrine. Felt like a replica? No, it was all this Elvis paraphernalia and memorabilia. He loved Elvis. And you'd go in there, you'd pay like five bucks,

and you'd walk in this guy's house, you'd be fucking blasted drunk. And it was so much fun. That's not nice. I Hate the water in Jackson. That's terrible. Also the crime there, not that great. But I do love Oxford, Mississippi.

Highly recommend. All right, let's do one more call. This one's called Pod Vice. I don't love that. I feel like this is going to be judgy. This is going to be judgy. This isn't Bailey. All right, this is going to be judgy.

Okay. Hey, Wells to be Judgy. This isn't Bailey. All right? This is going to be Judgy. Okay. Hey, Wells. Hey, Brandy. YFT here. Evan here. I am a longtime Wells Adams fan and a longtime Miley fan. And in the last probably like 10 years became a big fan of you brandy so congratulations on your vegas um residency super cool thank you to be there you guys actually recorded your last episode on my birthday just

turned 30 not my favorite thing in the world but one of my favorite things is podcasts, and I've been wanting to get into possibly one of my own. So I kind of wanted to hear what you had to say about that. My name is Evan Cleveland, Ohio, and thanks for listening. Bye, guys. Well, that was nice. Yeah. We're worried. I know.

Yeah. I thought it was like she was going to give us advice. By the way, I didn't answer Bailey's other question about the voicemails. We don't get that many of them, but we would love for you guys to send us more. The number is 858-630-1856. Podcast Nation people, like, they get it, and then they send it. The Podcast Nation people are dead. The peeps.

Victoria, I think, is the one who does it. She collects all of them and then she sends it to me. And then a lot of times I will listen to them beforehand and then I'll be like, no, which one's good? This time I didn't. This time we're going in blind, baby. But yeah, if you guys want to say anything, do the voicemails.

I love them. We do love it. Podcasting advice. Okay, this would be my piece of advice to you. It's an extremely saturated market. Everybody and their mother have a podcast. Literally, my mom has a podcast. That's why I was doing it.

Get it? Yeah, that's why I did it. Does your mom have a podcast? My mom has no idea how to listen to podcasts. Okay? My mom doesn't even understand what I do. She's like, so what do you do? I have a podcast? My mom has no idea how to listen to podcasts. Okay? My mom doesn't even understand what I do. She's like, so what do you do? I have a podcast.

What is that? It's super, super diluted. There's so much of it. So I think a couple things. One is I wouldn't expect to make any money off of it in the beginning. Like Brandy was complaining last episode. They have a pretty big following, I think. They've got a bunch of people that are watching on YouTube. It's not translating

into dollars. So if you can have your expectations low in terms of financial revenue, then you'll be in a better headspace about it. The other thing that I would say, the second thing is, is that because it's so deluded and because there are so many podcasts, you really, really need to hone in on what it is you are trying to say. Like, what is the podcast about? It needs to be kind of niche. We got lucky. This podcast is so broad. And I remember having the conversation with Brandy being like, we need to have a fucking theme for this thing. And that's why the theme was like our favorite things, but it is very broad. So I would suggest like if you're into cooking or if you're into taxidermy or if you're into the lore of Chicago baseball in the twenties, whatever, really honing on what that thing is.

I thought you were going to say the Lord. If you're really into kickers from Kansas city who are fucking assholes, you should do a podcast about that. Yeah. Do you have any advice for her? No, I agree with all that. Yeah. It's great. I would say that from what I've seen with the podcast space, it's really no longer audio. It's really visual now. So you need to make sure that you are recording video of the entire thing. A lot of younger kids are just watching podcasts instead of listening to them. And we've had a hard time coming to grips with this reality, but it is the real.

It's facts. It's facts, baby. Everybody look left. Everybody look right. I just can't. I'm in the spotlight. If you guys want to send some voicemails, please do 858-630-1856.

Again, 858-630-1856. We love hearing your voice. You got some music you want to go out on? Maybe. Okay. Well, I've got one. Do you know who Dijon is? I don't think so.

I've played him before, but I'm really into it. And then I found out that that McGee guy that I like a lot, that you didn't like, but I liked. He's the guitar player for Dijon, which makes sense. Oh, that's cool. Here's a song called The Dress that I like a lot. Check it out. We got you know, no, we don't have to patch things up. Just turn the lights down.

Cause the dress looks nice on you still. And it always was. We should go out and dance like we used to dance. We should go out in old hands. Love is old hands and I can't tell you who's gonna last. That's Dijon, a song called The Dress. Go check out Dijon. He is awesome. What do you got? You want to go out on something? I ain't really got shit.

Okay. You just want to go out on more Dijon? Sure. Okay. Just kidding. I do have one. What do you got my buddy gashy he was in cybersoned if anybody watches that podcast he put out a new song called

cold i have been waiting for him to put this out it's so fucking good i've been listening to it for a while so i'm just like when are you putting this out when are you putting this out finally came out this week so let's go out on it it's a.
