How annoying is that?
Huh?
Interesting.
Sarah is just in the background just watching me right now.
I know.
I'm watching her watch you.
Yes, we're doing the podcast right now.
Oh, I thought you were doing that before.
Did you think I was talking to myself this whole time?
No, I knew you were talking to Brandy.
I just thought that you were like, I don't know, having like a pre-pod meeting.
You think our pre-pod meetings consist of me telling her about the new upcoming happenings from Weezer?
I thought you wanted her to listen to it before you started the podcast.
No, that's how the podcast starts.
We kind of chit-chat for a little bit, and then I say...
Cold open.
Yeah, cold open.
I say, do you want to start with me?
And then she says, you go, or whatever.
And then we start.
I know.
That's why I was kind of just standing here thinking, are they going to do the open in
a few seconds?
Do you want a microphone or not?
No.
I know, right?
No.
You just want to be in the background and that person that's
like i can't hear what you're saying i've never said that so you're doing right now
by the way let's just talk about it no actually come here right now real quick come here to the
microphone sarah's in trouble right now do you know why no i had a few glasses of wine yeah and i was really enjoying
myself we were intimate we're we're being intimate yeah and i for some unknown reason

hickeys. I can't go out in public.
Where are these hickeys?
Right here and right here.
I wanted them bitches to see from either

So, by the way,
I'm going to tell this because you're here, whatever, it's still
funny. So, today I went to

day gift right oh yep and i got a nice gift and i'm sitting there trying to keep my i was wearing
like a hoodie trying to keep it up because i know what the ladies at the shop were thinking i know
they're thinking this guy is in trouble because he cheated on his girlfriend or wife
and now he's buying her a very nice gift.
But no.
Oh my God.
No.
That was mean.
And I apparently was like,

Yeah.
Like what was going on through my head?
And I think I tried and I failed.
You don't have me see their neck.
No, you're fine.
Did you try?
I'm not good at giving hickeys.
You're wild.

Oh, yeah. Hey, Sarah. Will should take over for me next week. Oh, yeah.
Hey, Sarah.
Will you fill in for Brandy next week?
Okay, she says yeah.
Tight.
However, we can do this from Africa.
I don't have time to be doing this from Africa.
Oh, come on.
Why don't we have him on?
No, no, no.
No.
Oh, but I do have a really dope guest for us when I get back.
Who is it?
Okay, can you start the show first so that we can just start the show?
You.
Bros and hoes, you're listening to Your Favorite Thing Podcast with...
Wells and Brandy.
Let's go.
Remember how I told you about my new friend Mark,, who it was on Ozark and was in Africa
with us.
And we hung out with Mark and he's the dopest.
Yeah.
He's also on another show right now.
Oh, he's on manifest.
Yeah.
Okay.
So he was in Nashville this last week and we were like texting and trying to make a
plan to meet up and have a drink.
And I had bailed on him like twice because i got busy and then one night i was like in bed trying
to get tired and i was watching manifest i was catching up and i was literally texting mark to
be like all right breakfast tomorrow 10 a.m see you there and then all of a sudden he's popping
out of the truck at the end of manifest and i was like wait was that did i just see mark because i'm
i thought I saw Mark
and I'm texting Mark
and I thought it was actually him.
So I asked him at breakfast the next day
if he's in more episodes
and he said, yeah.
And so I asked him
if he would want to come on our podcast
and he said yes.
So when I get back
after he's been on a few episodes
of Manifest, we'll have him on.
We actually watched that episode today
where they have the tease
of the next episode
because he's like in the car for eight hours underwater and they're like
he should be dead or whatever you know yeah and i was like i was like you know who that is and
sarah was like who and i was like that's the dude from ozark and she was like yes it's right he's
honestly you would love this guy he's actually in la next week i wish it wasn't weird for you
guys to hang out but we'll all hang out with one day because you would love him he's the best storyteller
he's just the coolest dude i'm obsessed with him and he said he did tell me that his role in
manifest is what kind of makes the whole season make sense he said that his role will kind of
make it all come together which is really exciting i'm loving the show right now, by the way. That was one of your early favorite things.
And a lot of times, especially shows like this that are not bingeable for me, I fall
off, you know?
Oh, yeah.
I'll do like three or four of them.
I'm like, okay, whatever.
I don't know, you know?
And this one really has kept my attention.
So yeah, same.
I dig it.
I'm excited about it.
Okay, well good good grab but i
still think let's just circling back we could get the guy that you're going to go visit in africa
on the pod just like a quick call in just so we can all get to know him a little bit you know
like sizing them up like when you have to go meet the father and he's like cleaning the gun like
that's what i need to be doing you know i, I need to make sure that his intentions are true.
All right, he's there for the right reasons.
This is not The Bachelor.
Don't do that.
Listen, this is important, and I need to know.
I need to know who this guy is and what he wants with my brand guy.
You're going to have to get your ass to Africa and find out for your damn self.
All right.
Did he hear the episode last week?
I really hope not but i
don't know i would really like i said i'd like to think he's too busy to listen to this podcast
you don't think by the way sarah is the most busy person and she listens to our podcast
so much so that she like creepily stays in the background and like watches me do it. So if she can keep up with all of it,
then I imagine that Jared can.
That's not his name.
Chris.
No.
Mark.
Okay, stop.
Is that it?
Is it Mark?
No, you know his name.
You're just not saying it, right?
No, I don't know if I remember what his name is.
Oh, that's fine.
I'll tell you later.
All right.
Well, I would like to think that if he had heard it, he would say something to you about it, right? I don't know if I remember what his name is. Oh, that's fine. I'll tell you later. All right. Well, I would like to think that if he had heard it, he would say something to you about it, right?
I don't know.
Or would he be embarrassed to tell me he listens to it?
Why would anyone be embarrassed to admit they listen to our podcast?
By the way, I've been interested in podcasts recently.
I've been listening to more of them.
I'm getting a newfound love for it.
And I think it's funny because we've been doing this now for like almost two years and we asked people to go rate and comment on the last podcast
and we got a bunch of them like a bunch of people did it so thank you everyone that did it except
like except like the three people who are mean whatever there were three meetings there's a
couple meetings but whatever but for the most part everyone was very was very nice and god dang it
carl's how in the background.
So thank you for that.
And then I like wrote on it.
Because you know, we can rate it.
Oh, we can?
I should do that on my flight tomorrow.
Yeah, you should definitely rate.
I rated it.
I gave it a five star.
Just, you know, that's how I feel about it.
And then I wrote like, hey, to everyone, like, thank you so much.
This is Wells.
Thank you so much.
So if people see that and they don't think it's really me, it really was me.
I just did it.
But I was going through the top podcasts and we are under the section of comedy 73, which I feel like that's pretty good.
Not bad.
Yeah.
I mean, we should make a goal.
Let's be top 50 by the next two weeks, three weeks.
I like that.
Who's above us that we know anybody
i don't i don't know i'm sure i'm sure a lot of the freaking bachelor podcasts all the same stuff
is above us but whatever i see all right well cool i'm gonna go and read through all those and
write a review tomorrow i got a lot of stuff to get through. I don't know. Me too. Okay. Me too. Let's just start
firing away. Do you have a story? Do you have a favorite
thing? What's going on? You first.
I was trying to make my bell work real quick.
Oh, God. Oh, okay. Well, just broke
your phone. Everything's blowing
up. There you go.
So, I feel I'm very
late to the party on this, and I'm
disappointed because the few people I've told
have already seen it, and I was hoping to
be the person that introduced them to it.
Did you ever see Waco?
No.
Yes! I'm so glad!
Well, you don't understand. It is
so freaking good.
Okay, remember how much we loved Unabomber?
Yeah. This is
better. Oh, what's it on?
It's on Paramount Network. It's so weird it what's it on it's it's on paramount network it's so weird i bought
it on itunes best 10 bucks i ever spent really so it's a movie it's a mini series it's six episodes
and it's about a real thing that happened so i don't know if you remember i i vaguely remember
this happening and being on the news but i was too young to understand what was going on.
But this happened in the 90s in Waco, Texas.
There was a cult.
Yes, of course.
Of people.
And the FBI raided this cult.
And basically, like, most of them died.
And it was this huge scandal because the FBI messed up.
And it was a who shot first kind of whole thing.
So it's a whole story.
So this is that story. And it kind of plays out thing so it's a whole story uh so this is that story and it kind of
plays out from both sides what happened so because like you know everyone's pointing the finger at
the other like oh the cult was wrong or oh the government was wrong so they made this series
based on two books one was written from the perspective of one of the survivors of the cult
that made it out and the other one was written from the perspective of the FBI negotiator
that was working this whole thing.
Wow.
So they have both perspectives and it's phenomenal.
Taylor Kitsch is the star of it.
I love him from Friday Night Lights.
And he plays the cult leader.
He does a great job.
The girl from Ozark, Ruthie, the blonde chick, she's in it.
Okay.
Yeah.
You should have opened with that.
Because, well, you love her.
I know.
I love Taylor Kitsch though. But she's phenomenal. Macaulay Culkin's brother's in it okay yeah you should have opened with that because well you love her i know i love taylor kitch though but she's phenomenal uh macaulay culkin's brother is in it
oh to me he's the best got he's the best of the whole cast to me his performance blew everybody
else out of the water did i tell you about when he came up to me at the sag awards no this is such
a name droppy story but i've got an even better name droppy story that's coming later in the
episode sarah's friends with let's just let's just preface this but these are all sarah's friends
we were talking with kaylee cuyoco oh yeah cuckoo cuckoo from big bang theory anyways and then i was
like talking to her husband whose name is carl and i was like my dog's name is carl you didn't
tell me that's because i told you that i knew carl from horseback riding yeah yeah someone comes up
behind me and taps on on the shoulder and goes,
and it was this guy and his girlfriend or wife or whatever.
And it was Macaulay Culkin's brother,
who I know from Home Alone as the bedwetter, right?
Like, wasn't that like his first role?
That's why Macaulay Culkin doesn't want to sleep in his bed
because it's like cousin who's the bedwetter,
which was really his brother, drank too much soda.
Anyways, so he comes up to me and he goes, hey, dude, uh do you mind if uh me and my girl take a picture with you and
i was like what yes so anyways i'm just gonna go ahead and say it he's a fan that's amazing well
i'm obsessed with him like he was so freaking good in this series i can't even tell you like
the whole thing was so good it's something like that stayed with me for like days after i finished
it you know what I mean?
I just couldn't stop thinking about it.
And I kind of dove in and researched
the real cult leader.
So fascinated that this was an actual thing
and people believed this guy was Jesus Christ
and it just was blowing my mind.
So you guys got to watch.
It's phenomenal.
I mean, anytime,
that's how I know a movie or a show is good
is when I'm thinking about it the next day
and still talking about it or a couple days later, when I'm thinking about the next day and still talking
about it or like a couple days later like it's affecting me but if you get to the level of like
research that's like I'm not you know yeah it was just like I just can't believe that people
truly like bought into that like it's mind-blowing but it's so crazy because just like Unabomber
and the Unabomber it's uh you know serial killer, like you almost are rooting for him in the end.
You almost feel sorry for him and, um, and stuff.
And it's, it's crazy that they can, they do make you do that.
Same thing with this.
It's like, these people are absolutely insane that live in this cult.
Like they're psycho for believing this stuff, but you're on their side because the government
screwed up and was awful to them.
And it's just it's crazy to be put in a scenario where you're rooting for the crazy people.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, that's that's just a sign of good TV.
It's cool.
If you can make someone have a feel a way that they know they shouldn't feel, then you've done a really good job at making television or movies.
But also, this is a true story.
I know.
I mean, yes. Yes. It was Manh know. I think that was going to be a bummer.
I mean, yeah, so was Manhunt.
Did you finish the Bundy thing?
No.
Dude.
Okay, well, you need to get on that.
Do I need to?
Okay.
That's pretty phenomenal.
And I'm just excited for Zac Efron to do that thing.
But okay, so what's it called again?
Waco.
Waco.
Okay.
Phenomenal.
On it.
I started the new True Detective.
Oh, yeah.
I watched one episode and it didn't hold me.
What do you think?
I like it.
I'm in.
Yeah.
I'm only three episodes through.
That might be halfway through.
I don't know, but I really like it so far.
But anything's better than the last one, and nothing's ever going to be as good as the
first one. So that's where we live. You know what I was thinking about? It's kind of weird. What's that? but anything's better than the last one and nothing's ever going to be as good as the first
one so that's true that's where we live you know i was thinking about it's kind of weird what's that
isn't it weird the moon is the same exact size as the sun is it yeah when you see a solar eclipse
which we had one recently when we had totality remember totality yes i. I was in Denver. I saw it perfectly. And it is exactly the same size as the sun.
And obviously it's not the same size in mass or whatever because of distance and relativity.
Exactly.
That's what I was going to say.
But isn't it weird that we're in the exact place and the moon is in the exact place and the sun is in the exact place that it's all the same size it is pretty mind-blowing
isn't that like this oh it's almost like that's almost too perfect like i almost think this is
all just one big simulation in a computer i know because that's just a little too weird to me and
is it so i i swear about this because this happened a long time ago i was driving around today and it
was the day moon which day moons are weird.
It's like, what are you doing here?
You should be, you're a nighttime thing.
Why are you still up?
Well, it's always there.
We just can't always see it.
I know.
So I saw a day moon.
Day moon.
Fighter of the night moon.
Anyways, I saw it and I was like, it's so weird.
It's the same sign.
And I swear to God, I don't do drugs.
I swear to life.
All right.
Sure.
I don't.
Terrified of drugs.
Me too.
So that was one of the things I was thinking about.
What else you got?
I was wanting to talk some Grammy talk.
Well.
Lots of Grammys.
I did not.
And I'm sorry.
What?
But I know that your sister, Miles.
Performed not once, but twice.
She performed twice.
One with a legend, an icon.
Dolly Parton.
Miss Dolly Parton.
And then another time with Shawn Mendes.
Yes.
I like to say his name like that.
Oh, okay.
Not Mendes like it is?
No, Mendes.
You like being different.
Well, dare I say, this was my favorite Grammys that I've seen in a really long time, I feel.
Let me bring it up for you.
Why weren't you there, Broseph?
Because I was in Nashville DJing a charity event the night before.
I just couldn't pull it off.
But I was sad that I missed this one because it was so good.
Like, every performance almost was amazing everyone looked phenomenal like it was just a
really fabulous grammys like the best one i've seen in a while really yes i can't believe you
didn't see it i mean they started first of all alicia keys awesome grammy host and i didn't i
didn't know what to expect from her like i love her but I was like can she carry the entire Grammys I don't know she killed it really amazing she did this thing like
in the middle it's I mean it's one thing to have a host but to have a host that's also an artist
and that's like amazing it's so smart because in the middle of the whole thing she got she gets on
stage and she's sitting in between two grand pianos one on each side and she's freaking playing
both pianos at the same time, covering different songs.
Just like one right after the other, like flowing one right into the other.
Everybody from like Juice WRLD, which I thought was so cool that she covered that.
It was so cool.
And then she ended on her song, her New York song or whatever.
She's so talented.
It was phenomenal.
You know, they opened the show basically with, I don't if you saw the like everyone's talking about like the girl gang like the ultimate girl gang and michelle
obama came out with all these women and like looked fabulous like michelle obama needs to
run for president because she would win i've been saying this for a while now the reaction she gets
out of people is out of control people love her she's even more powerful, I feel like, than Oprah.
Yeah, I would agree with you.
Right?
Yeah.
She's like a younger, hotter Oprah.
Yeah.
Is that rude to say?
I don't know.
No, she's just fabulous.
And people just love her.
I don't know.
I think she should run for president.
I'd vote for her.
I think she'd win the landslide.
I just don't think she wants to do that.
Also, does she have political experience?
Actually, what does it matter?
You don't need it anymore.
Anyway, that was fab. I thought
a lot of the people that won were very well
deserved. I loved Dua Lipa,
one best new artist. Her song was
the biggest song of 2018.
I thought that was so well deserved.
New Rules was the number one song
of 2018. I like Electricity
right now. I think that's a pretty good track.
Yeah, I play that one a lot when I
DJ. And then Kacey Musgraves,
not only won Country Album of the
Year, but Best Album of the Whole
Cat, the whole shebang. Like, Record of the
Year, Album of the Year. I know. Everybody was
very shocked by that, and I think it
was a little bit of an upset, probably.
I mean, I loved that record. I've always liked
Kacey, but this last album made me
love Kacey's music. And I just thought it was such a phenomenal record. And she's just so and i think that someone should support her and i
played her and then afterwards other radio stations started playing around nash i mean i don't want to
say that i started it but i don't not want to say it you know so crazy it really is crazy you know
what's even crazier is that my ex-girlfriend dates the guitar player. No, it's engaged the guitar player of that band.
Oh, yeah.
You told me to do that.
Yeah.
So I'm happy.
But I was really happy for Spacey.
Casey, she's awesome, dude.
She's so good.
She's such a good human being, too,
which makes me happy for her.
And I thought it was cool.
So she and I used to ride horses together.
I actually helped her find her horse, Mismo.
I don't think her and Miley had ever met,
but she was part of that Dolly tribute thing.
And so I thought it was cool that Miley
and Casey got to sing together. It was fun to see my friend
up there with my sister. Miley and Sean,
did you go and watch the performance online or anything?
Yes, I did. I mean, it looks
crazy awesome. Dude,
they sound so good
together. Not
to be rude, because your sister
is a megastar, but why the hell did she get not not to be rude because your sister is a megastar but why the hell did she
get to go twice because you know like no one else could go twice except for miley that's miley for
you i know that's funny but i loved getting to hear her sing in my blood i loved it and i thought
her and sean were so cute if i was liam i'd be like
wait a minute they look a little too okay so i didn't want to say that but i saw it like you
know obviously like that was the big hot picture yesterday was i know it almost looks like miley's
kind of like uh like rubbing up against you know like kind of like flirting up against him and then
also by the way what's his name uh liam who wasn't there i know he's parole he's he's got a movie
coming out this week so he's promoting his new movie.
But I just thought it was funny because, you know, Sean's young.
He's like 20.
He's like a child.
I just thought it was so funny because in the photos, it looks like he's like so shy
that this like smoking hot chicks, like all up on like married chicks on him.
Right.
It's funny because that's just Miley's personality.
Yeah.
Just so goofy and bubbly and whatever.
It's just like totally her thing. She's just so goofy and bubbly and whatever. It's just totally her thing.
She's never like that with me.
Excuse me, unless you're Shawn Mendes.
You make her nervous, Wells.
No, I don't.
Yeah, she told me that.
No, I don't.
She told me that.
But I thought it was so cute.
But I definitely was like, if I was Liam, I'd be like, excuse me, can we leave a couple of inches of room in between here, please?
Can we have some space for the Bible here in between?
Yeah, exactly.
Leave it for Jesus, please.
But I was texting her last night right after that performance.
And I was like, is it just me or does Shawn Mendes remind you a lot of Nick Jonas?
Oh, wow.
And she wrote back and was like, oh, my gosh, he's so Jonas-y.
You're so right.
I don't know if it's the hair,
but Nick, he was a cute little rock and roll guitar
playing cutie back in the day.
So anyway, I just thought it was funny
because he reminded me a lot of Nick,
but I just love their performance so much.
I did not watch it out of spite or anything.
It was because we had a dinner date last night,
and you know who it was with?
Who's that?
Caitlin Bristow and Jason Tarek. i think that's how you say his last name so how is it tardic
yeah so anyways oh i saw that on instagram did you guys you did yeah somebody posted it really
caitlin maybe caitlin yeah yeah it was i mean it was fun like like obviously jason and i have hung
out a bunch like we we all hung out at i
heart festival and then i've now known caitlin for a couple years right caitlin has been wanting to
be friends with sarah and likewise like sarah has been wanting to be friends with caitlin so we
finally like all got together and what i realized it was it's a terrible terrible idea to put caitlin
and sarah in the same room together because uh like they both like need three glasses of wine to be the loudest
people at the bar um hence why i have two hickeys on my neck right now oh my god i attribute this
to caitlin bristow that dirty dirty freaking canadian has corrupted my sweet little girlfriend
oh yeah you're sarah's so sweet she is sweet innocent and you know and
then this this i will say caitlin bristow can get people to drink i know effortlessly she always
gets me drunk and i never i'm never i never drink but there's something about hanging out with
caitlin that makes you i know want to let loose i don't know so i guess they're best friends now
which is great.
Jason and I were like, well, next time we all hang out, you and I need to go hit the bar three hours beforehand
and get a head start.
So at least we can be on the same level.
We're going to watch that tonight.
So I'll do my recap next episode of the Grammys.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The other performance I really liked was St. Vincent
performed with Dua Lipa.
It was very, I just love St love saint vincent yeah she's just the
freaking coolest and you know who else's performance was dope as frick was uh janelle
monet is that what you say her name yeah she's beautiful yeah dude she's so cool she's just so
cool oh and do you listen to her at all yes she's she goes by her yeah but it's like h.e.r.
yeah it's like h.e.r., but they kept calling her her last night.
But she's so sick.
She played this like lucite, like translucent Fender guitar.
It was the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Okay.
You got to watch.
The show was phenomenal.
All right.
Favorite thing, Grammys.
Shocker from Osiris.
Usually I'm so unimpressed with award shows.
Like usually I hate them. Yeah. And I just really,impressed with award shows. Like, usually I hate them.
Yeah.
And I just really, really loved the Grammys last night.
I really did.
Speaking of large ceremonies, if you will,
went to Super Bowl 53.
Oh, yeah.
The most boring Super Bowl in the history of Super Bowl.
Oh, my God.
It was so boring.
But the night before was really fun.
We went to, like, this direct TV TV party and the Foo Fighters played.
Oh, that's cool.
By the way, did you know the drummer Taylor Hawkins is like one of the best singers ever?
No.
Have you seen Bohemian Rhapsody?
No, but I have it.
Dude, what are you waiting for?
Anyways, so there's this scene that like Freddiereddie mercury used to always do where he'd
like get out in front of the stage and be like and then he'd like make this the crowd do it back
do you know i'm talking about no oh my god i haven't seen it god i hate you so much but i'm
gonna watch it on the plane i have all the dvds from sag so i'm gonna i have a lot of stuff to
watch yeah yeah so taylor hawkins like jumps off the kit, and then Dave Grohl jumps on the kit,
because obviously Dave Grohl is the drummer of Nirvana,
so he's obviously probably the two greatest drummers
in the world right now are in the same band.
So crazy.
So Taylor Hawkins starts running around
and starts singing freaking Queen
and is really good.
Whoa.
Like, I was like, wait, when did Taylor,
why isn't Taylor Hawkins
singing all the songs?
All right.
Like,
you know,
and Dave,
you go back on the cake.
Yeah.
So it was phenomenal.
So we were there.
Vanessa Hudgens was there as well.
And Vanessa and Sarah
are really good friends.
And so we were all like
sitting there dancing
and having a grand old time.
And then all of a sudden,
Paul Rudd walks in,
right?
What?
And like,
he's one of my favorite people in the world. So I see him walk in and I'm like, I'm like, Sarah, Paul Rudd walks in, right? What? And like, he's one of my favorite people in the world.
So I see him walk in and I'm like, I'm like, Sarah, Paul Rudd's there.
And she's like, do you want to go meet him?
Because Sarah played his daughter in Object of My Affection with Jen Aniston, whose birthday it is today, by the way.
So she's like, do you want to go meet him?
And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Let me get a couple more drinks.
I need to like, I need to like get some liquid courage.
And she was like, you're meeting him, not fucking him, dude. Like, relax. And I was like, that's still, it's Paul Rudd. I need to like, I need to like get some liquid courage. And she was like, you're meeting him,
not fucking him, dude.
Like relax.
And I was like,
that's still, it's Paul Rudd.
I gotta like get rid of him.
So at the same time,
Vanessa was like,
oh my God, there's Paul Rudd.
I freaking love Paul Rudd.
I want it.
And she was like,
do you want to go meet him?
And she was like, yes.
So we were both like,
we want to go meet Paul Rudd
and you're our only in
to go meet Paul Rudd.
So we walk over there
and you're like Sarah and Vanessa,
like you've met Vanessa before.
Like, uh, they're like, they're tiny.
Like they're both very little people, like around like five, two skinny, long brown hair.
So we walk up to Paul Rudd and like, you know, that moment when you, you realize you're,
you're in a situation where you have no business being there and it's just kind of awkward.
So you kind of like looking around.
So it looks like you're doing something,
but you're not really doing anything.
So I was just kind of sitting there and Sarah is talking to Paul and then
like introducing Vanessa to Paul.
And I'm just like the odd man out,
obviously like he knows exactly who Vanessa Hudgens is.
Obviously he remembers Sarah from the movie,
but he has no idea who I am.
And I'm just kind of a creepy guy just kind of sitting there.
So I'm like looking around and I was such a rubbing Sarah's back to be to be like you know it's almost time for you to like introduce me to paul
rod here yeah no kidding all of a sudden i feel my hand be taken off her back and what and i'm
like oh no and i look down and i had been rubbing vanessa's back the entire time.
And she was like, dude, what are you doing?
I'm like, oh my God.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry. I thought you were Sarah.
I thought you were Sarah.
You're the same fucking side.
Oh my God.
And she was like, she was really cool about it.
She was like, dude, it's totally fine.
And actually like I've had boyfriends that have mistaken Sarah for me.
So like we've, I've been there.
Like, don't sweat it.
And I was just like.
That is so funny
appalled and of course like the one moment that i get to meet paul rudd he like sees me like rubbing
not my girlfriend yeah that's hilarious but anyways uh i know you guys are all thinking
like is paul rudd as cool as you think he would be and the answer is no what cooler than you think
he'd be nicest mofo in the history of mofos he seems so dope dude he was so nice and he was
wearing a suit and i wanted to wear a suit that night and sarah was like dude don't wear a suit
no one's been wearing a suit wear like a leather jacket look cool and i was like yeah but there's
a red carpet i want to look good and you're like a gown you know i want to you know and she was
like don't no one's gonna wear a suit and then he's wearing red carpet. I want to look good. And you're in like a gown, you know, I want to, you know. And she was like, don't, no one's gonna wear a suit.
And then he's wearing a suit.
And like, it's like good, like Euro cut, skinny cut, like exactly how I'd like, you know.
And I was like, look how good Paul Rudd looks.
Like, why?
You said I couldn't wear a suit.
Look, Paul Rudd's wearing a suit.
And she was like, you're not fucking Paul Rudd, bro.
Like, so let's pump the brakes.
Oh, poor Wells.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no no not poor wells awesome wells aside from like the
really embarrassing moment of rubbing the wrong girl's back i got to meet paul rod that was very
fun yeah that's very cool it's really funny man can we for a second talk about how weird will
smith looks as aladdin like i don't know if we need to get into that oh yeah yeah everyone's
freaking out over that trailer he just looks it... It looks like a bad... Remember the movie Avatar?
I loved that movie.
I love that movie, too. He looks like a bad avatar, like the body didn't form correctly, you know?
But he's Will Smith, and he can do no wrong.
Well, we'll see. I mean, here's the thing.
If there's one person in the history of humanity that will smith can't follow up it might
be robin williams that's that's true yeah right yeah follow me to a place where incredible feats
are routine every hour or so where enchantment runs rampant just wild the streets open sesame
here we go i was in you need to get jason in here he loves singing
disney songs yeah dude i remember when specifically aladdin really arabian i was in the aladdin play
in middle school and my girlfriend maggie finnegan who is a phenomenal opera singer like my fourth
grade girlfriend third grade girlfriend she's a phenomenal opera singer now she was jasmine and i didn't get to be aladdin i was like a poo or so you know i
wasn't like i wasn't aladdin and i was so jealous so jealous of the guy who got to play aladdin
oh my god so i know all the songs because i was like well if he gets hurt i need to be able to
step in you gotta step in and you gotta, I need to be able to step in.
You got to step in and you got to step up.
Yep.
You got to step up, step in.
And, you know, but that didn't happen.
And I also wasn't his understudy.
I don't know why I did that like a nerd. But in my mind, I was like, well, if this happens, I'll be ready.
Dude, do you know what I what really turns me off?
What's that?
The Prius shifter. that's very random were you
driving a previous recently i was like in uh uber and it's so tiny it's this tiny little plastic
thing let's get some break off i don't like it it's unappealing to me that's what i had before
my bmw did you like that little that little wiener? No, I hated the Prius, but I was kind
of a hand-me-down and I was just, I didn't, you know, I just, I had to stick with it.
Do you know what I realized the other day? What? The reason why it's called a hula hoop
is because it makes you look like you're dancing a hula dance. Yeah. Did you know that? I did know
that. How did you not know that? I don't know. I was like, I was like, why is it called? I did know that. How did you not know that?
I don't know.
I was like, I was like, why is it called?
I don't know.
Where was I?
I was at the studio where we do film Hoffer and the guy had a ukulele.
We were singing the hooky loud song.
Everybody loves the hooky loud.
Anyway.
Yeah.
I was in, I was in ukulele class in middle school, whatever.
Don't judge me.
You're learning a lot about me in middle school, by the way.
We are. I was like, what's that called? What's that? What't judge me. You're learning a lot about me in middle school, by the way. We are.
I was like, what's that called?
What's that?
What's a party called?
What's a, that's a hula.
And I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That's called a luau.
Oh yeah.
And I was like, what's a hula?
And they're like, the hula is the dance.
And I was like, is that how they got the hula hoop?
And everyone's like, yes.
And like, I'm the idiot.
How did you not know that? Because I'm an idiot guess i don't know i guess so i don't know you're crazy when we were driving
back from the foo fighters party sarah and i were were obviously we had been drinking at this party
we're having a good time i swear that i won't don't want to come across like we're alcoholics
i just tell the stories of when we are drunk.
You know, actually, there's a lot of not us drinking and watching TV and just having like healthy drinks.
But we were driving back.
Are you going to drunk Snapchat the Bachelor?
Yeah, I think so.
I mean, you know, it's too easy.
Yeah.
I'm loving this season, by the way.
So we're driving back and I was like, dude, when we get home, I want fucking cheeseburger, pizza, blah, blah, blah.
And she was like, yeah, give me your phone.
And I was like, okay.
She takes my phone.
She calls the hotel that we're staying at, tells the, she's like, put me into room service.
She orders quesadillas, french fries while we're in the car.
So when we get to the hotel.
Food's there.
Food's there.
Preemptive quesadillas.
So smart.
How have I never thought of that?
And also, do you know how-
I do that all the time with Postmates.
You do?
Oh yeah, like the minute I land in Denver at the airport,
it's like a 40 minute drive to my house.
So I'll get in the Uber and 10 minutes into the drive, I'll order Postmates to my house. So it's there 40 minute drive to my house. So I'll get in the Uber and 10 minutes
into the drive, I'll order Postmates to my house. So it's there when I get to my house.
Genius.
So smart.
I was telling, this is such a named, another name droppy thing, but Sarah's dad on the show,
his real name is Ty Burrell, but you know him as Phil. He was at the Superbowl and I was telling
him, I was like, dude, preemptive quesadillas and he was like what this
is a thing and i was like yeah and he was like man that's genius also if you're like homeless
you could just order food and then just go to the room because there was like no checks and
balances of like this was our real room you know oh that's so true right they were just like oh
fair highland all right yeah yeah exactly like okay um that is
funny preemptive tacos man preemptive cases you know what i was thinking today what did you go to
starbucks i know you're not a big coffee guy i have coffee every single day i'm just not a go to
the coffee shop guy i see so when i'm traveling if i'm not at home then i i get coffee out usually
it's like the first my first stop or whatever so one of my favorite things is the starbucks app where you can order and it's
ready when you get there so you don't have to stand in line because i'm a millennial and i don't want
to wait so i don't want to wait but i'm sorry i was thank you thank you for that today i was uh
going in to pick up my starbucks order so when you ordered on the app, they have it ready for you there at the end of the thing where everyone's drinks come out and it just has a sticker with your name on it and you just, you don't even ask for it. You just take it and go. What's to stop anybody from just walking in and taking whatever they want from the to-go pile and no one would ever question you.
Totally.
You could just be like, yeah, my name is brandy and this is mine see ya yeah that's mine now i let's let's just do that one day
yeah let's try it but like take a drink and see what happens uh sir i don't believe your name
is cynthia no it is all right he misspelled it you gotta be smart you gotta go for like a like a ryan or a chris yeah you know
yeah yeah yeah i gotta find like a real white guy name yeah daniel oh man that's funny
yeah you want to go through some headlines sure what do you got i saw that andy cohen was slammed
for for posting a picture of us he got this brand, right, that they birthed through surrogate, you know?
And so he posted a picture of him on an airplane holding the baby.
And, like, he got lit up for, I guess you're not supposed to fly with babies,
like a weekend or something?
I don't know.
I mean, that's what people were saying was like he's too hashtag too
young to fly which i just hate the internet but like i hate the internet i don't know if that's
a rule like i think the rule is like you shouldn't take a brand new baby on an airplane that early
because you're worried about germs and stuff which that makes sense but he's on a private jet
yeah so shut it huh so shut it you see that like like Halsey kind of called out G-Eazy on SNL the other night?
No.
That's phenomenal.
So Halsey was hosting and singing and she was doing that song.
I guess kind of.
Is it about G-Eazy?
Without you?
Yeah.
The breakup?
Yeah, it has to be about him him so Halsey's real name is
Ashley yeah Ashley like franapaji or something like that so she's like singing and it's just
like black background spotlight on her and then it kind of lights up and it's like like a huge
right behind her Ashley sorry I cheated when I was in Minneapolis and then it's like and then
it's like over here is like when I was in New Orleans and then over here it's like when I was in Minneapolis. And then it's like, and then it's like over here is like
when I was in New Orleans.
And then over here,
it's like when I was at home.
It's like all over like,
okay.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
So anyways,
she was on SNL.
She did great for not being an actor,
you know,
or a comedian.
But I kind of wish that they would have just had her
be the singer and
then got someone else i saw brad pitt showed up to uh jennifer anderson's 50th birthday party
which by the way gwyneth paltrow was at jennifer's 50 yeah and she looks great dude also i know
you're gonna say j-lo oh what are you freaking kidding me the fact that j-lo is 50 is insane you got it once you watch the
grammys you're i mean i'm sure you've seen her perform before but like damn the way she can move
she's so flexible i just can't imagine 50 like she is just stunning do you remember that snl bit
i'm 50 50 you don't remember that? I know.
Well, anyway.
So Brad Pitt showed up to Jennifer Aniston's 50th birthday party.
I don't know if that really... I just thought it was weird because, like, that must have been awkward.
And then Gwyneth Paltrow was there, and they used to date as well.
But then I was thinking about it being like, well, Brad Pitt probably has, like, nailed every actress in Hollywood.
That's probably true.
Everyone was like, oh, there's my ex.
And then it was just, you know, that's Brad Pitt.
Oh, that is what it is.
Get it, Brad.
But there's a little part of me that wonders if Brad wants back in.
Probably.
Is he with anybody right now?
I don't think so, man.
And then speaking of SNL, Pete Davidson showing up all over town with Kate Beckinsale, another just smoke show coug.
She is.
Man, she loves those young guys.
Get it, girl.
I don't.
You know what?
It's such a double standard.
Every old creep ball in Hollywood dates 25 year olds.
You're right.
And I'm sorry.
She is still one of the hottest chicks on planet earth oh no
she's stunning no i personally know two people yeah that she's taken down in their 20s that
she's hooked up with i don't know how to do it how do you do it to a cougar i don't either but
but yeah she's a babe she's like everybody's like Ben Higgins always says that like she's his like number one.
Like he loves her.
Dude, I'm right there, man.
Every guy loves her. She is stunning.
I got, I asked, let's see if you can hear this.
I asked a bunch of folks on the Snapchat to say some of their favorite things.
We could rip through some of that.
Ooh, love. Love when we do that.
Hi, Wills and Brandy.
My favorite thing lately has been Gillian Flynn's books.
And I know that they've been out for a long time,
but I read Dark Places, then Sharp Objects,
and then Gone Girl, my very favorite.
It is like Gillian Flynn's other awesome books, but times ten.
So if you haven't read Gone Girl or any of Gillian Flynn's other books,
you should definitely do it.
And that's...
We've talked Gone Girl on this show, by the way.
I've read all those books.
They're all phenomenal.
Yeah.
So Jillian, that's a good suggestion.
I mean, she's a little late to the party.
A little late.
Yeah.
Great suggestions.
All right.
Thanks, Linzo09.
Here's one.
By far, my favorite thing is the bachelor nation all together love it was she
under the influence in that or maybe what by the way did you see that is it cassie was on some other
like dating show or something no yeah look it up cassie from the bachelor on another reality show
that follows her love life. Young Once Season 2.
This says that it's airing right now, too, at the same time as The Bachelor.
Oh, okay.
That's weird.
Because my theory is that she's going to be the winner, but maybe not.
You want to do some more of these Snapchats?
Yeah.
My favorite thing is on Netflix right now, and it's a show called Instant Hotel.
It's a competition show that follows couples to their homes around Australia
and the people are over the top.
The drama is ridiculous.
You get to see a bunch of really cool places around Australia.
And it's overall just an extremely entertaining show.
Say Australia again.
Sydney Eleanor.
All right, I'm down with that.
Yeah, cool. I got some songs. Oh, it's here. Yeah. entertaining show say australia again uh sydney eleanor all right i'm down with that yeah cool
um i got some songs oh it's here yeah do you got any songs or just me uh you know what i haven't i
haven't listened to music friday yet this week um we don't have to play it because we play all
of his music because i'm obsessed with him but dermot kennedy put out a new song called lost
i've had a lot of people that tweeted me about it i'm already on it i love it it's great it's mind-blowing he's the best yada yada all right all right all right
what are you what do you got i got some good stuff man i'm really into this andrew bird track uh
sisyphus do you remember andrew bird no he's one of those guys that was i interviewed him a bunch
back in the day he's a guy that he he'll play the guitar, sing, loop, play
the violin while
singing, go and play the drums. He's
basically a genius guy.
I'm really liking this song
Sisyphus. If you haven't heard of Andrew Bird, I actually think you'd like him a lot.
He's got some old stuff that just will blow your mind.
But yeah, Sisyphus, the new one.
KG Elephant has a new record out that I'm super pumped about.
This is a song called Ready to Let Go. Frozen, times I wondered Are we just a puff of smoke, yeah
Underneath this bed of ashes
Still withholding everything
Like we were never close
Don't you worry, baby
No sis trying to change it
I'ma strike these matches
Never had control
I'm ready to let go What's that song called?
Ready to Let Go.
You're into it, I can tell.
One of my favorite bands.
I love T.J. Olyphant.
I know, they're so great.
One of my favorite bands straight out of Philly.
A band that I like to say is the newest age Beatles.
Little band called Dr. Dog.
Everyone is freaking talented in this band.
This is a new song called Can She Dance?
This has got kind of like a...
Almost like an 80s vibe to it.
That's Toby singing, I believe.
Dr. Dog's new one.
Radio Wells is really coming out hard right yeah man i i was uh i i was listening to some music on my run earlier today and i was just like getting into it
and then and then this one song let me see if i can find it just blew my freaking mind hole i
hadn't heard this band before.
This is the Brooke and the Bluff.
Have you ever heard this band?
No.
I mean, it's got a very, like, R&B soul thing. I stopped when we were halfway up in Austin And it felt as we were living in our forest
I feel like that's kind of in your vein of...
Right up my alley, yeah.
That's called the Brook and the Bluff.
The song's called Halfway Up.
That was just on my release radar today,
and I was like, wait, what is this?
This is amazing.
So that's all I got, man.
But yeah, sorry.
Radio Wells turned on for a second there. I'm here for it. I like's all I got, man. But yeah, sorry. Radio Wells turned on for a second there.
I'm here for it.
I like radio Wells.
Yeah,
man.
Okay.
Dermot Kennedy one.
I mean,
yeah.
What is the,
um,
the name of the track?
It's called lost.
But if only you could see yourself in my eyes,
you'd see you shine.
You shine. I know you never leave me behind. I like this. But if only you could see yourself in my eyes You'd see you shine, you'd shine
He's so good, man.
A little more upbeat than his normal stuff, I feel like.
Yeah, he's been doing a little bit more upbeat stuff,
and it's not been quite as depressing as it has in the past.
So, yeah, I wonder what's going on with him.
There's one line in that song I really, really love.
It says, I've learned in love and death we don't decide.
Okay, so when are you off to Africa, dude?
Tomorrow morning, 6 a.m., baby.
Dude, and then when you come back?
I will be back on the ground in Denver, Colorado on the 22nd.
Are you nervous?
Yep.
Yeah?
What does your family think about this?
They think it's great.
Yeah.
They are very supportive.
They just don't want me to move to Africa.
That starts to freak them out a little bit.
Yeah.
I don't think that's going to happen, but maybe.
That's a very aggressive, dramatic assumption.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just let Brandai get a little bit of action, you know?
Yeah. come on.
Come on now.
Yeah.
How do you think he feels right now?
Is he excited?
Is he nervous?
He's really excited.
I don't know if he's nervous.
I would guess that he probably is.
But he's really excited.
He's been really cute.
He's been like counting down the days.
Do you have like an itinerary of stuff you're going to do?
Like, do you know what's going on?
Not really, which is kind of fun. We're going to kind of play it by ear. So we're doing
like a road trip because he lives on the Eastern, in the Eastern Cape side, but his family lives in
Western, like in Stellenbosch, which is Western Cape. So I'm going to fly in to the eastern side where he works and we're going to road trip the garden route, which is along the ocean.
It's like their PCH. We're going to road trip the garden route back to Stellenbosch area for the first two days.
So that's the only plan. And then we're then we're just chilling, taking it, you know, one day at a time.
But is he taking off work this entire time? he has he has off work you know what i want to say brandy yeah i'm really proud of you i feel
like this is way outside your comfort zone it is and i want to say that i'm really really proud of
you for at least having the courage to go do it. No matter what happens, I think that this is awesome that you are
going, unless he murders you.
Yeah, that could happen.
Unless. It could happen.
Okay, aside from that,
I do think that
this is, I don't know, it's a cool life
story, no matter what happens. Totally.
So good for you, dude. Thanks, Wells.
Go get yourself a man, yo. I'm
working on it.
Out here trying.
Yeah?
What's his name?
Craig?
What's his name on this podcast?
Barry?
Is it... God, I can't remember.
Is it Larry?
