All right.
Sleigh bells ring. Are you
listening? You know it's almost
Christmas? No, it's not. No, but
it's almost Christmas. I was at Ikea today. There's Christmas
shit everywhere. Oh, God.
Everywhere. I can't handle that, man.
I need one holiday at
a time, all right? Yeah, that's not how
it works, though. I know that's not. I think it'd be with like
three at once. Dude, working in radio
for the past 16 years i'm sorry
but i fucking hate christmas music because we start playing it so early you should never say
this in front of noah cyrus she will die she loves it but the minute christmas comes up music comes
on the radio there's like a whole station that plays christmas music 24 7 yeah i hate it minute
it's up and running noah wants to play it all the time. I hate you. So I'll give you the background, the business side of the bullshit of Christmas music in terms of radio, okay?
Okay, I want to hear it.
One of those dipshit radio stations does that, right?
And then every stupid store puts it on so their ratings go through the roof because every time someone walks into a store with those meters that tracks ratings they think that everyone is listening to this great radio station which
no it's not they've just programmed a bunch of freaking consumer store-bought bullshit ratings
and it kills all of our bonuses so how does a radio station get to be the one that does it
and it's like whatever radio station's the biggest loser in the market always does it.
Oh.
I don't know.
We used to do a thing like that.
The first radio station I worked at when I got out of college,
we used to do a thing where we played like kind of obscure Christmas music.
I liked that.
All I know is my dad does a killer version of Run Run Rudolph.
Really?
Yeah.
I'm all about Christmas.
I'm just over it starting
in like September.
October.
Alright. Yeah. Hey, are you excited about
your Halloween costume? It's coming up fast.
Going to the Just Jared party this weekend
for Halloween. That's what you're going to?
Yeah. Is that... Why?
I've met Just Jared
a couple times. And?
He's really nice. So people like Sarah Hyland actually go to Just Jared a couple times And? He's really nice
So people like Sarah Hyland actually
Go to Just Jared's Halloween party
Yeah Sarah and Jared
Are like good friends
That's insane to me
He's always been nice though
That's what I'm saying
There are like the Perez Hiltons
Of the world where like
They've kind of made their thing by being negative
And I feel like Just Jared's not generally negative It's usually positive yeah he's not he's he's a good
dude yeah so anyways that's the party but did you like the the taco bell costume i'm obsessed i can't
wait to hear the reviews from people that have seen it yeah okay so this is going to come out
after halloween but whatever I actually want some suggestions.
So the idea is that I'm going as Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
Yep.
And Sarah's going as a taco, and we're going to be Taco Bell, right?
It's so good.
It's so good.
You think people would-
Maybe my favorite Halloween costume I've ever heard.
How was that, Belle?
I have a lot to choose from.
I like that, Belle, actually.
What about-
That one's a little long.
Oh, it's still going.
I got a fever and the only prescription, more cowbell.
Oh, that's a cowbell.
That's a cowbell.
No, that brings back horrid memories.
Oh, God, you're late for class, dude.
Yeah, I don't like that.
I got my dress, my bell dress in.
I actually ordered two of them
because the first one I ordered-
How does it fit?
Well, the first one I ordered was coming from Japan
and it was like between October 21st and like March.
I was like, whoa.
I don't see beer in time.
So I ordered another one, but they both came in.
I don't, obviously don't know like women's sizes.
So I went and got a tape measure from my toolkit and like measured my bust.
How'd that go?
What's your bust size?
42.
42.
That's bigger than I expected.
I'm a barrel chested man, lady.
Yeah, clearly.
That's a lot bigger than I expected, actually, I feel.
Really?
Yeah.
What did you think I was going to be?
I don't know. But when I put it on, so I put it on and Sarah goes, actually, I feel. Really? Yeah. What did you think I was going to be? I don't know.
But when I put it on,
so I put it on and Sarah goes,
you have tits.
And I said, excuse me, ma'am,
these are pets, all right?
And they're great.
Oh my God.
What's your waist size?
I think our real waist size and like what...
Pants are different, yeah.
Yeah, right?
Like if I put on jeans, i'm like a 32 but there's
that's not your weight you boys wear jeans so low though i feel that it's not your natural waist is
like yeah it's like above my belly button yeah that's what you measure yeah so i had to measure
that and so i think that was like this is embarrassing, but like 28.
And then like. I'm pretty sure mine's like 25.
Yeah.
So we're not that far off.
And then my hips were like, you know, whatever, 34 or whatever.
I got the gold dress.
Yeah.
I wanted to get like the blue, the blue dress, you know?
Yeah.
The gold's more iconic though, I feel.
It is more iconic,
but the blue dress is more of like the working man's bell.
That's your kind of bell?
That's my kind of bell, you know?
Hustle.
Oh, nice.
I can't do like a...
Oh yes, I can.
Oh, perfect.
Bell.
Perfect.
I got a wig
because you know how I feel about wigs, right?
You love a wig.
Yeah.
I was doing my Hoffer thing the other day and the makeup artist, I was telling the makeup
artist about it because there was a part of me that was like, I wonder if I should have
this makeup artist come like do my makeup.
Or she was suggesting it and I was like, I don't know, man.
This is already a little weird.
Like I'm dressing up like in a full ball gown and apparently I have tits and a very slender waist yeah like at what point is
this just like is it funny and then it just gets to like we need to talk about some things wells
like do you want to be a woman or yeah exactly so i don't think i don't know i guess i'm asking you
like should i have makeup on or not i kind of feel like you gotta like if you're gonna do it you gotta
go all out that's kind of how i feel but like maybe like of feel like you gotta like if you're gonna do it, you gotta go all out. That's kind of how I feel. But like maybe
like classy makeup, you know?
Yeah, yeah. You know, like a little bit of
rouge. A little bit. A little eyeliner.
Maybe a little cat eye.
Yeah, just a small one.
And like, I don't know,
like a matte lipstick, you know? You gotta
wear a lipstick. Yeah, like a matte lip, you know?
And I don't want to be like getting it all over the
taco, you know and i just i don't want to be like getting it all over the taco you know the fact that you're talking about a matte lip right now is everything
i know way too much about this stuff you do a matte lip i die it was funny because sarah was
like like joking around because she put on her taco costume and she's not doing sexy taco which
i appreciate you know okay that's good yep but she was like you know she's like doing sexy taco, which I appreciate, you know? Okay. That's good. Yep. But she was like, you know, she's like, do you want to have, do you want to have sex
with this taco?
And the bell is totally.
And I was like, I was like, yeah, I want to have sex with that taco.
And then I was like, do you want to have sex with bell?
And she was like, not so much.
That's great.
That deserves a sleigh bell.
You know what I'm saying?
You want to start the show?
Yeah.
Wow.
That took us long enough.
I know.
Well, Bros and Hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with...
Wells and Brandy.
I thought we were going to change it to Hoes and Bros first.
Well, as I said it, I was literally just about to say it.
I remember how last time we were confused about which came first bros and hoes does sound more natural now that i'm
saying it without thinking about it bros and hoes is how we've always done it yeah to be honest with
you it sounds better i feel do you listen to uh last week's episode a little bit it's getting
rave reviews i gotta say is it yeah i need to go listen to the whole thing. The reviews I always see are on Twitter.
Yeah.
Did you see the one negative review?
No, what it said?
It was like a girl that was like upset about,
I can't even remember who we were talking about.
She was upset about us talking about somebody
that was really thin and putting on weight
and looking better.
And I think she felt a little victimized
about maybe being a skinny girl and not having curves.
I don't know.
Oh, you're talking about Barbara Palvin.
Oh, Barbara.
You're right.
We were.
Well, that's ridiculous.
That woman is ridiculous.
Like, the campaign that I've been on for the past, like, month was, like, clapping back at, like, body shamers for Sarah, who everyone calls her too skinny.
You know?
No.
I think, yeah.
I think.
I mean, I just, I hope that listener kind of sees it from the perspective of we always see stick thin models.
And it was refreshing for me as somebody who's not stick thin to see somebody with curves look super hot, smoking hot in a Victoria's Secret ad.
That's all I was trying to say.
So, yeah.
This is the problem with it being on your phone is you got to unlock the phone.
Oh, gosh.
And then your face recognition doesn't work and then turn it turn why don't you turn your phone to not lock how do
i do that i don't know dude i don't know i don't know that's that's above my it sounds like a lot
of work it does but yeah a lot of people really like in the unpacking of harry potter they love
it i think i'm gonna have to start reading the series just so that i can partake in these reviews because people love it i guess there is
a podcast that like it's an older gentleman like myself reading harry potter and it's only a i
guess i guess they're doing i guess we stole someone's bit i i don't know an older gentleman
like myself yeah so so someone was like you need to be on i should find out what
his podcast is called because yeah maybe he'll have you on as a guest no so yeah so someone was
like you need to have wells on and then they hit me up being like do you want to come on the podcast
and then you'd be like oh here it is potterless john shooby 17 as he reads harry potter for the
first time and discusses the books with potteratics, making fun of obscurities and plot twists.
So anyways, it's a show.
But you're not making fun of it.
No, I'm taking it very seriously.
I know.

Yes.
It's just a book I'm reading right now and it's upsetting me.
But I can't talk about the one I'm on right now, Half-Blood Prince, because I'm only halfway through Half-Blood Prince.
It's good.
We're getting to the end, man.
What book are you on?
I'm on six and there's only seven of them.
Are you sad it's coming to an end? Kinda. and what book are you on? I'm on six and there's only seven of them.
Are you sad?
It's coming to an end.
Kinda.
Cause what else I feel about game of Thrones.
I know.
I kind of like to read that actually.
I would do.
I've been rewatching all the old seasons just cause I miss it so much.
And also because I was in Iceland and they shot a lot of it there and I just kind of wanted to rewatch it.
And I like,
I have such mixed feelings about this final season.
Surely to God, they're going to do a spinoff
of some sort.
They have to.
Oh, it's already been like in the works.
Oh, thank God.
Cause like John and Daenerys better have a child
and it better have a spinoff.
No, no, no.
That's not what the spinoff is.
The spinoff is, I'm sorry.
It's a prelude.
It's like, it's like that world
before what we see now you know
that could be cool I guess but I would rather see baby wolf dragon in a spinoff that's all I'm
saying the thing about it is that like Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke that show has
catapulted them into superstardom and they're going to be in the world of like I need to go
on like the next chapter of my career
and like not want to do it.
And everyone's gonna be like,
ah, no one wants to see you,
Emilia Clarke in Terminator, okay?
We just want to see you as Khaleesi.
Yes, we do.
We do.
She makes a great Khaleesi.
Yeah.
I should be Khaleesi for Halloween next year.
You should be.
Well, did Danielle come to your party last year?
Yeah, but she was the girl from Westworld.
Oh, that's right.
She was Khaleesi recently.
She was a good Khaleesi because she's already got the blonde hair.
Yeah, she has the white hair.
Olivia was Khaleesi last year.
That's who was Khaleesi last year.
And she was a good one.
By the way, I loved your Iceland picture where it looked like Poseidon was in the rock
formation with a huge boner behind you.
Okay.
Can you not just appreciate some natural beauty where you find it?
Like,
why does everything have to be a sexual joke?
Oh,
I mean like diamond status content,
great color scheme,
like phenomenal.
Everything about your picture is beautiful,
except the giant merman with a boner in the background.
It kind of looked like that once you saw it though, right?
No, to me, they just looked like these like majestic Game of Thrones-esque rock formations growing naturally in the middle of the ocean.
It was very cool.
All right.
One of my not favorite things right now,
I work for a company called iHeart.
Okay.
Oh, I know what you're going to say.
iHeart recently acquired
like a big podcast company.
They are now the largest podcast owner
in the country, I believe,
which congratulations,
way to get on board.
A little late there, iHeart,
but whatever.
Yep.
I'd like to mention
that there was a point in time
which iHeart wanted to buy our show and we said, we like doing this for free now that they own all of the
podcasts in the world they are holding the podcast awards and yes they are are not nominated nominated
i know it is a little sad iheart does not want to admit that I work for their company.
Why do you still work there?
Because I like being on the radio, but like,
every time we go to like iHeartFest,
Yeah.
no one gives a shit that I'm there.
Oh, yes, they do.
No, do you not remember the red carpet at iHeartFest this year?
I didn't get to do it.
I was slaving away for T-Mobile.
Oh, I know.
Yeah, me too.
But I snuck away to go do the red carpet with Sarah.
Sarah had already done the red carpet
and she was like,
no, I want to do this with Wells
because he actually works here.
And like before you do red carpet,
they always, they like put everyone's name up.
They're like, okay, this is Sarah Hyland.
And then they come out in the red carpet.
So Sarah comes and gets me.
They're like, wait, wait, you can't go there to me.
You can't go on the red carpet.
And Sarah's like, he's coming with me.
And they're like, who is this?
And Sarah was like, it's fucking Wells Adams.
She works for this company.
And I was like, thanks, babe.
Oh, God.
Okay, who is nominated for these awards, though?
I don't think any of our friends are either.
I know.
I'm making a fight for something I don't really care about,
but I want to start a grassroots movement to get us nominated.
All right?
I know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, slave house.
The slave house is insane.
Yeah, maybe there's always next year, I suppose.
I don't even want to win.
I just want to say it's an honor to be nominated.
Yeah, yeah, same.
I just want to say it.
Whatever.
Over it.
Not salty at all.
Not at all.
No.
I saw that Ben is on Instagram promoting somebody else to be voted for for this podcast awards.
Yeah, I saw that too.
What's that about?
I don't know. Ben, can we get some love from you, buddy. Yeah, I saw that too. What's that about? I don't know.
Ben, can we get some love from you, buddy?
Yeah, what the hell, Ben?
He's the only double offender on our show.
It's true.
You know, no one else has been on our show twice.
You're right.
Ben is a crowd fave.
Yeah, your mom's been on twice,
but both times she wasn't like a scheduled guest.
She just kind of like popped in and like took over.
She just pops in.
That's what she does. I just sent my sister the longest text that i was dreading sending her because it
was about me not being able to go to south africa maybe but i think i'm still gonna go but now i
have to go later and i was like so worried she'd like be upset that i couldn't come on a certain
day and her response was cool awesome well maybe that's maybe that's passive aggressive
no i think she's just like whatever whatever. Is this Miley or Noah?
Miley.
You're going to South Africa with Miley?
Yeah.
Well, hit me up, man.
I've been to South Africa.
I know all about it.
I do need one word off the podcast.
I do need you to tell me what I should do.
Let's talk some favorite things.
I went to my alma mater this past weekend to do the Hotty Toddy chant.
I was watching all your stories.
I was very excited for you.
I'm glad all of your friends showed up.
Well, it's funny because like one of my favorite bands of whom I'm friends with,
The Weeks, who are in a Nashville band,
they happened to be playing like one of my favorite venues while I was there.
I was like, let's get a beer before the show. and I want to go to the show and all that stuff.
We did that, and I was like, what are you guys doing?
They're like, after the show, we're driving home.
And I was like, what?
No.
Come to the game.
I've got all these field passes, and I'm doing this thing on the Jumbotron.
They're from Mississippi, so they're like, yeah, we have a place to stay.
And I was like, don't worry.
I got a pretty big room.
I've got three beds. Just stay with me. So they're like, yeah, we have a place to stay. And I was like, don't worry. I got a pretty big room. I've got like three beds to stay with me. So they're like, okay. And then like JP and Paul
McDonald and Mr. Steve came as well. So I was just rolling deep in Oxford with a bunch of musicians,
which made me feel pretty cool. I gotta be honest honest with you. I know. It kind of looked like you were like living the dream.
Yeah.
And what was really funny though,
so the Grove is like world-renowned tailgating, right?
Like it's known for having like the prettiest girls
tailgating before the game.
Every guy in the weeks is in like a committed relationship, right?
I'm in a committed relationship right i'm in a committed relationship paul mcdonald is in a
committed relationship literally everyone was not single and i was like guys you're not going to be
able to use my powers in the grove for good you know because all these girls are gonna come and
ask to take pictures and i can't pawn any of them off on you guys and get you laid so i was like the one time that i could like wingman
it for everybody and get all of you guys laid no one needs it no one needs it so we just huddled
around one another and like didn't talk to anybody while we were in the grove like don't look at any girls. Don't make eye contact. Look away, look away, look away.
But it was so much fun.
Yeah, so I've peaked now.
Aw.
Yeah, that's it. That's so cool.
I was excited for you because we talked about it before you left,
about how pumped you were.
And sad Sarah couldn't go.
So I was happy to see all your friends there.
Yeah, it was fun.
Are you dating anyone out there?
I got to know.
No.
Are you seeing a boy? I'm not. but i like to keep people guessing you know i like to like i like to like lean into
all the gossip about like is she dating blake is she dating ben is she dating them both at the same
time like who really knows you know i don't know yeah a plural plural relationship i like it you
and ben keep everybody just like to keep everybody on their toes really i didn't know the ben rumor Yeah, a plural relationship. I like it. You and Ben.
Just like to keep everybody on their toes, really.
I didn't know the Ben rumor, but I had seen like the Blake one on like one of the pictures you guys posted.
Dean said it best.
Dean literally tweeted the other day, like any girl I take a picture with automatically it's assumed that we're dating.
And I feel like that's kind of what happens to me.
Yeah, I get that too. Like I took a bunch of pictures at the tailgate.
And when I was like seeing the tag pictures,
a lot of people being like such a cute, such a cute couple.
I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Let's pump the brakes there.
Yeah.
People just, I think people get excited at the idea of like all these bachelor people
that they love like finding somebody.
So it's like, if I take a picture with any of them, it's like, oh my God, they're dating.
Yeah. But no, I don't, haven't really uh had an opportunity to like really get myself out in the game yet you know but uh i have some things lined up coming
up i'm going i have floor seats to the celtics game in a couple of weeks very excited about that
i'll mainly be scoping kairi irving but might also try to scope some like local boys you know
yeah and then who are you going with?
I don't know yet I was trying to talk my friend
Kat into coming out for it cause like
basketball games are hard for me because I
would really like to go with somebody that's like
I'm not gonna find somebody that's as excited as me
but like I'd like to go with somebody that's like a little
excited about basketball like that is
gonna enjoy the game and it's hard to find
cause most girls don't care and then
I don't wanna go with a guy and like get cock blocked.
So it's like, I don't know.
I haven't decided.
Are there no boys on the nuggets that might be a viable option?
Um, I, you know, there could be some new ones I don't know about yet, but there hasn't been
anybody from last season that caught my eye, but there could be a new recruiter too.
Who knows?
We'll find out.
I think a couple of weeks.
I think that's the play, to be honest with you you is go for like a guy that's on the bench most of the time
you know because one that's not fun yeah but he's not going like every city and like sleeping with
every single chick right no they probably still are let's be honest that's that's not true they're
definitely doing that speaking of douche lords yeah did you see that gz and halsey broke
up again no yeah you are lying to me saw today apparently he was uh backstage after a show and
had all these girls back there and they were all over him and he didn't really care if the people
were taking pictures and now they're both on they've unfollowed each other, so nail the coffin there.
Oh, no.
This is my least favorite thing I've ever heard.
So over that, dude.
They were just so iconic together.
I'm so upset he couldn't pull it together.
I don't know.
I think you could put a German shepherd next to Halsey and they would be a freaking iconic duo.
That's probably true,
but you have to admit that Gerald and
what's Halsey's real name? I forget. Stephanie or
something. They looked great together.
I would say that. That's true. They did look cool.
They looked really cool. But dude, I'm sorry.
You can take any freaking dude
and put enough Murphy's
pomade in his hair and give him a leather jacket
and voila,
you got Jeezy and he's not a douche.
That's probably true.
That's probably true. Dra's probably true drape him in ysl yeah exactly give him a cool name and oh man all of a sudden you're iconic
yeah yeah yeah i mean they're mostly iconic because halsey's iconic let's be real let's be
100 real i couldn't tell you a g-eazy song if you freaking put a gun to my head yes you know
the one with bb rexa that's a bb rexa song
is it and no i think it's cheesy and she's featured maybe all these collabs that i'm
seeing you know collabs g easy's first record was really really good i was listening to it today on
my run actually really it's called when it's dark out oh actually it wasn't his first record but it
was the first one that really blew up. Yeah, well, whatever.
Not into it.
Let's talk about some favorite things.
Okay.
Do you have some?
I have one.
You have one.
All right, let's hear it.
It better not be the TV show I'm watching.
The Haunting of Hill House.
I haven't seen it yet,
but I'm dying to because that really smoking hot guy
that was in season four or five of Game of Thrones is in it, apparently it apparently oh yeah the the dutch actor i don't know how to say
his name it's like mikhail something it's he's hot as hell that's all i know all i gotta say to you
is you're gonna need someone to watch it with you girl is it that scary it is fucking terrifying
terrifying but how am i supposed to watch it i don't know you gotta
watch it during the daytime abs don't even if you watch it alone do not it you need to have
at least a three hour buffer before the sun goes down i don't know man it is phenomenal
really good writing really good acting one of my favorite things about The Haunting of Hill House.
Is the hot Dutch guy? No. Oh, because that's mine already. I just already know.
There's this one scene where they're trying to figure out why there's water in the walls. The
whole thing's predicated around the Hill House, which is this family that they're flipping the
house, right? And the house is haunted. And so the guy who's flipping the house calls a like um like a plumber guy to
like figure out like where the water's coming from and lo and behold who's the plumber elon
gale is all of a sudden an actor yes stop it no there's no way yes and like so he's like walking
in and they're talking about the water and I hear Alon's voice.
Alon, by the way, is the executive producer of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise, if you're wondering.
And he's one of my good friends.
He's like the only reason why I have a career and a girlfriend right now.
Anyways, so I hear his voice before I see his face and I was like, why does that guy sound like Alon?
And then all of a sudden he comes into frame and it is Alon.
And he's not an actor, but he does a really good job.
So how did he get on the show if he wasn't pursuing acting?
I have no idea.
I'm going to his birthday.
Can we phone a friend right now and call him and ask him?
I guess.
I think he's off in Thailand right now filming Bachelor.
Oh, no.
They were just in Denver filming the other day.
Oh, yeah.
I think they're on Hometowns right now.
Yeah, because they were shooting something at Ben's new restaurant.
Well, do you want me to see if I can try to call him?
Yeah, give him a call.
Right now we're talking about my new favorite show, which is The Haunting of Hill House.
And my favorite part of the show is the fact that my good friend Elan Gale is the plumber on the fucking show.
And so we were like all right here's
our question and then you can get back to your life how did you get this part dude well i uh
i've been a lot first of all it's a mold remediator uh and so uh please respect and uh
and and quite frankly i've been really interested in mold remediation for a really long time.
Yeah.
I love mold, love remediating mold and otherwise.
So when a part came around, I just was an obvious choice.
Yeah, you're cutting out a little bit, which sucks.
But all right.
Well, here's my thing, dude.
I didn't really know you were an actor.
I knew you did Guardians of the Galaxy, but that's because you were friend you're friends with james gunn so
i just assumed he was just like doing you a like a favor but yeah yeah but you did really good
you were really thank you we were sarah and i were very impressed thank you it was very fun
so are you that's true all right all right al, we can't really hear you, buddy, but...
That's good, actually. Yeah. Congratulations on your mold remediation success. I'm really proud
of you. Thank you, Al. You've really made it. Finally. Yeah. I miss you and I love you, buddy.
I'll see you soon. Love you, too. All right, later, man. Bye. God. He's so funny, man. Like I'm always in awe of like how quick witted Alon is, you know, it makes total sense why
his baby, which is paradise is like the funniest freaking show in the world.
Cause he's pulling all the strings.
The Haunting of Hill House is absolutely phenomenal.
So here's the thing.
Okay.
So one of my favorite things about that show, it's like the plot, the acting is phenomenal.
But one of the creepiest things is
they have so many extras
standing in the back of a shot
or like a hand in the back of a shot
or like all these ghosts just planted
throughout the entire series. That's wild it's like you won't even
notice all of them but a couple times you're like oh my god look there's a fucking ghost back there
and it's not even like a haunting scene you know it's like it's just like oh my god and you're
always jumping really good story i want to watch you should watch it dude but not alone okay you
need a boyfriend i know now taking applications for someone to watch this
stupid show yeah exactly i mean someone who is okay with me drooling over what's his face yeah
he's hot that's fine i gotta figure out how to pronounce his name this is just a built-in
netflix and chill moment though oh it is okay how do you find out how to pronounce something
online like do they if you type the name and then write the word pronunciation afterwards, it'll take you to a YouTube clip of how to pronounce that person's name.
Yes.
Okay.
Okay.
Please hold here.
Let's see here.
I take it you've done this before.
Yes.
Mikiel Huseman?
Mikiel Huseman.
Mikiel Huseman.
Mikiel.
Mikiel is hot as fuck.
That's all I know.
Yeah?
Is he one of your favorite things right now?
He is one of my favorite things right now.
I literally put it on my story yesterday that he's so hot in Game of Thrones that I just could die.
Oh, yeah.
Now I know who you're talking about.
He's got no beard in this.
Okay.
Yeah.
I like him rugged in Game of Thrones.
That's my favorite.
He's also in a movie called The Age of Adaline.
That is, this bell sucks.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
It's Blake Lively is the female lead in it.
And God, he is just a die for in that film.
Do you know who Greta Van Fleet is?
No.
Oh, really?
Maybe I do.
They're like the new hot.
Is it a new band?
Yeah, it's a new band that sounds, no joke, exactly like
Led Zeppelin. Oh, interesting.
I just Googled them. All these kids are like,
Greta Van Fleet's
greatest fucking band in the world.
And you're like, this is a cover
band. What are you talking about?
Someone just tweeted me,
someone just tweeted me, I kind of want to know
what Wells Adams thinks of the
Greta Van Fleet album.
And I said, similar to how I feel about the Monkees as a Beatles fan.
It's just these kids are just ripping.
Like, I'm all for people using influences in their music.
Right.
But this is like a blatant disregard for plagiarism, you know?
Anyways, I get off my high horse.
What's your show?
Get off your high horse.
Oh, my gosh.
I'm so excited about
the show it's called manifest have you seen it what's about it's so i think it's an nbc show
but i've been watching it on hulu and it's uh in the first episode this this flight is like in the
air and they like have a little bit of turbulence have you seen it they have a little bit of
turbulence and then everyone kind of freaks out and then they're fine and then the pilot
comes on and says, hey,
I think we're going around a storm or something.
They're diverting us. We're landing in another
airport in New York. Everything's going to be fine.
And they land and the FBI are there
and they get off the plane and they're like,
you guys have been missing for five and a half years.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw.
So it's like lost.
2.0. I mean's set like in i mean
they all live in like new york city i think yeah and everyone hasn't aged a day no one's aged and
they all come home and like five and a half years have passed and all their freaking significant
others have like moved on yeah and they're and like there's a kid on the flight that had a twin
back home and so that twin grew up grew up and the boy is still the same
age and like, it's crazy. And then in episode two, you start learning that they all have something
going on mystical with them or whatever. I don't want to give too much away. But like,
it's a fantastic show. I've been obsessed with it. I binged watched the first four episodes,
thinking I could binge watch the whole season and I can't because it's still on TV.
But the guy that's the lead in it, his name is Josh Dallas. I'm obsessed
with him. Oh, the girl in it's really good
too. I don't know her name though. It's a fantastic
show. One of the best shows I've seen in a while.
New ones. Okay, I'm into that. I want
to watch. I remember seeing that and I was like,
okay, that was one of my big problems with
Lost is I wasn't watching it in real time.
And by the time everyone was like, you got it, what?
It was like seven seasons in and I was
like, man, I got through like five of them and i was like you know what they're not even on the island
anymore i don't know what's going on yeah who is john rock so it's hard to binge a show like that
but you should start manifest it is fantastic i'm obsessed with it so the new season of making
a murderers is out now oh did you ever watch the first one i didn't i never got into that in the world so i'm sorry
either had sarah oh really that's but i didn't know that so i was like babe new making a murderer
is on and she's like don't care she was like awesome i was like i wonder what's gonna happen
to brendan dassey this season and she was like wait but isn't it like a different season like
it's a different story and like no what are you talking about and she Dassey this season. And she was like, wait, but isn't it like a different season? Like it's a different story.
And I'm like, no, what are you talking about?
And she's like, oh, it's not.
She was like, I've never watched the first one.
I was like, whoa, you never watched Making a Murderer?
She's like, no, don't they solve the case in the end?
I was like, no, no, not, that's not what happens at all.
So we started watching Making a Murderer,
the first one last night so we can watch the second one.
Makes sense.
I need to do that.
I do need to do that.
I mean, like, this is kind of silly.
This is like me unpacking Harry Potter 20 years later.
I know, I know.
We're talking about Making a Murderer in 2018.
But I'll tell you what I did do.
I started watching, secretly, don't tell Sarah until she listens to this.
Season two.
I started watching season two. Without herah until she listens to this season two i started
watching season two as without her yeah i'd be upset but like i just it just i'm just all the
i'm all the anger and the emotions bubbling up inside of me how the justice system is just
screwing these guys even though he probably did murder that woman oh my gosh you gotta watch that man
okay okay i'll put it on my list i'll put it on my list so something i keep keep me talking about
on the podcast and i always forget every now and then i get emails from some of our listeners like
that'll like go the extra step and actually like click on my profile and find my email address
and this girl reached out and the and it caught my attention because the subject line said wills you accept our candles okay and because
of my wills obsession at that for that brief moment and um so i opened it up or whatever and
it's this really nice girl who works at a company in canada that then they make candles it's called
colon canary and so we've been going back and forth or whatever because she's been wanting to
send me candles and i was like i'm about to move so just like hold on and
then i'll let you send them so she finally sent me some candles for my new apartment and they're
phenomenal so she was so happy and we've been emailing back and forth and i i had her send you
a few candles as well we were thinking maybe you could give them as like put them in your christmas
gift for like sarah or your mom or something they're very cute candles such a good gift to give someone it's a great gift you're just like whatever here's a
candle not even i love candles because it's something that i yeah it's something i'm gonna
use like it's not ever something you throw away or don't use like everyone's gonna use a candle
i love candles big fan are you a big bubble bath woman i'm really not yeah i didn't have a bathtub
for the longest time living in la and then when i
gutted my house and redid it i put in a cloth foot bathtub that i that i at the time was so
excited about i've used it like maybe 10 times in two years it's just so time consuming to sit
there you know yeah it's like a lot of time that i'd rather be watching shows and thus i get to a
point like my mother where i have a flat screen TV up on the end of my bathtub, and then maybe I will become a bubble bath person.
Wait, what does she have?
My mom has like a 40-inch flat screen at the foot of her bathtub,
and she sits in there and watches TV.
That sounds dangerous.
It's insane.
No, it's like mounted on the wall.
All right, good.
Nothing can happen to my girl Tish, all right?
Oh, here we go.
Here we go. T go tish my backup
plan wow that'll make her feel good i'm pretty sure she's ben's like num like plan a so he's
got you beat there i don't know yeah i guess did i ever send you these pictures of her where she's
so high and sitting with ben that's freaking hysterical i gotta send it to you she's so crazy
wait can we talk about some new music real quick yeah what do you got this is a band that like i've
listened to on spotify quite a bit recently that i should have i should have talked about sooner
because i really love them they're called the band camino i'm sure you know who they are do you
i don't actually what let's give them a sleigh bell yeah because they're they're phenomenal
they're like um i definitely
hear like a little bit of the 1975 influence in them which is one of my favorite bands um but
they're like i don't know they're like the emo band of our generation because our generation has
a lot of emo bands by the way do they because i feel like emo music is kind of dead and everyone
loves hip-hop and everybody loves dance music and i don't you don't see a lot of like mainstream like it's like emo music and so i they excite me because their
lyrics are really sad usually oh i love sad they make you feel you know and i posted a an instagram
story of their new song um and they tweeted they instagram messaged me and were like come to a show
um but i just missed them in
nashville but the new song is called know me and i'm obsessed with it but a lot of their music is
really really great you know who else listens to them who always posts about them as becca tilly i
feel oh really um yeah so they're they're like top played song on spotify is called my thoughts on
you so it's probably the one you would recognize the most but they also have one called the black
and white that's really good. But this new one called
Know Me, I just like, I literally had it on repeat.
It's so, so good.
I've got it on right now. Here, listen to some of it.
Yes.
Oh shit, sorry. I didn't mean to do that.
I'm like on Spotify.
I'm like on Spotify.
You got it pulled up or what?
Oh yeah.
Oh, I can't hear it.
That's not right.
Love it.
Great.
Love it.
Yeah.
Okay.
I have another one.
Okay. What is it?
I've talked about him before,
but Dermot Kennedy and you've listened to him,
right?
Yep.
Phenomenal.
I'm so freaking excited because he's on a sold out us tour and I like songs
my lowest and had my sister's
manager call his manager and ask if they could get me into the show in denver in a couple of weeks
and they said yes but he put out a new song called power over me that's also on the new music credit
playlist and it's phenom and he can do no wrong and he's probably my artist favorite artist right
now i i haven't been this excited to go see somebody since i saw Ben Howard play the trumpet bar. Wow. I'm obsessed with him.
I feel like you played
this song for us.
Not this one.
It just came out.
Oh.
I played you
another one of his songs
for sure,
but,
because I've had people
tweet at me about it.
But Power,
basically,
is really good.
It's like a beat for him.
I'm like,
you go,
Jeremy Kennedy.
You go.
You go.
All right.
I'm into it.
You feeling it?
Feeling it, man.
Do you remember that band called Gautier? What was their big hit it was the the breakup song it was so good but they were like the biggest one hit wonder of that
time yeah anyway they had another song on that album called somebody that i used to know was
that was the hit that was their hit yeah but they have one called like eyes a mess or heart a mess or something on that same album okay and broods just covered it and released it and it's really good okay i i like broods
version better actually oh gotye's version is called eyes wide open broods version is called
eyes a mess but it's the same song oh you know what I think it is?
I'm playing it right now.
I think it's a mashup.
Now that I'm looking at Goatia's album,
I think it's a mashup of two of their songs because they have one called Eyes Wide Open
and one called Hearts of Mess.
And I think Broods put the two together
and released a song.
And it's awesome.
It's awesome.
I do love some broods.
Love broods.
I need this one to pick up the pace.
It's a slower song.
It's good, though.
All right, I'm digging it.
It's cool.
It's vibey.
Yes, very drive-in music.
Okay, your turn.
Well, Jason Isbell.
I just saw on Spotify, because I follow you, what you've been listening to, and it's Jason Isbell.
Well, because he just put out a live record.
I know, I listened to it already.
Yeah, I mean, it's great.
It's like, it's all his songs.
Okay, I've just really been doing a lot of Gregory Allen, Isaac Hoff.
I don't know if you get into that dude at all.
Eh, a little bit.
So this is Gregory Allen Isaacoff's new record,
Evening Machines.
And the whole record is freaking beautiful.
But Bullet Holes really was...
It's doing it for me, man.
But this whole record is good. It's doing it for me, man. But like this whole record is good.
It's funny.
You know, like.
We've talked about it before, but I'm always impressed with Ben Higgins musical taste.
It aligns with.
Oh, yeah.
And I've liked this guy for a while.
And Higgins was like, do you know about this guy?
And I was like,
yes,
but no one else does.
Oh yeah.
We talked about this.
Yeah.
That's funny.
I'm going to give that album a listen too.
Scratches from the branches took our chances on the shoreline.
I am brown bow, but I am tangled in your love.
Pull up.
Oh, yeah.
Pull up.
Anyways, yeah, that's what I got for you right now nice maybe some good stuff dude daniel
ellsworth's new record is really good and i always feel weird like calling out friends or whatever
because i think people are just think that i just do it because i'm friends with them
but like that dude just writes freaking hits and this new record fashion is so good uh okay
this song called modern lover
he's got the synth pop just like down
with like such great falsettos.
Anyways, there you go.
