between Gary and Teresa. I got a lot of thoughts, actually. I don't know how Brandy feels. I don't even know if she watched it. I haven't even watched it. I was just there. I got a lot of thoughts, actually. I don't know how Brandy feels. I don't even know if she watched it. I haven't even watched it. I was just there. I was like, what are we doing? We got like his exes here.

Jesus Christ. Haven't we put Teresa through enough? Apparently not. You are not free in the bachelor world until we really fuck with you at your wedding. And then, once you have completed all of our trials, then, and only then, may you start your life with Gary. Dude, 2023 was a shit show.

We are just a couple days into 2024, and so much has happened. Gypsy Rose, Cat Williams, aliens in a Miami mall. Gary gets hitched. Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Kimmel are fighting and Shia LaBeouf wants to become a deacon. He wants to become what I am. Shia LaBeouf, stick to Transformers, my guy. Because if you want to be a man of the cloth,

you got to be ordained like your boy. Everywhere you go, you have to play Gagarian chant. Just so you know, Shia LaBeouf, this is how it goes. Anyways, not going to hold back today, guys. We're going to start 2024 with some truth bombs. Let's call it Brandi. What do you say? It's time to call her up. 2024, going to be a shit show. Hello? Hello. I've been doing a new thing. What's that? Where I hold the mic.

Okay, I like that. I'm so old. My back hurts so bad all the time. Why? If I had to guess, I would say it's all the manual labor I do and zero stretching or recovery after because I'm an idiot. Yeah. So if I hold the mic and sit back, it hurts my back less. Okay.

I like that. And then maybe you'll be louder and I won't have to like change the levels all over the place. Yeah. I too have a bad back and I attribute it to age and I've been combating it though.

And I'm going to give you some of my favorite things to fight the bad back. Please. You got to stretch, unfortunately. And that's it. That's not it. Do you have Peloton? No, I do not have a Peloton. Okay. Well, you can get the app and then you can

just like, because they have like, you know, they have yoga, they've got like weight training, they've got a bunch of stuff. It's not just riding a bike. I ain't getting on a bike. Yeah, yeah, that's fine. I ain't getting on a bike. But anyways, on the Peloton app, they have stretching

and then they have like back exercises to combat this. And I realized what I was doing when I was working out. I do chest and I do legs and I do abs or whatever. And then I wasn't working on my back. So I was just all like, all the strength was in the front. And it was just, so now you you got to do you got to do the rows you got to do the back thing you know i think i'm the opposite i think i my back it's worked out so much with the horses and i and i don't do the front like i feel like i'm very like

i don't know like tight in my chest and in my front of my shoulder yeah and then my back like my muscles get worked but all this just ends up being tight it's terrible dude getty gold sucks oh it sucks so freaking bad you got to do the cow pose and the cat pose so the cow pose is like you're on all fours and you really like kind of bend your stomach towards the ground and then the cat pose is you're on all fours and you really bend your spine towards the sky and that stretches out your back and that's how we're starting 2024 on yft it's us just being old talking about how to fix our back oh what a tragedy yeah i wonder if we've got any like newer younger listeners who are like what's happening here they got no riz man probably not yeah no no we probably got a lot like golden bachelor listeners if we're being honest

they're our demo now for sure which i have a lot of thoughts about the golden bachelor uh first things first how was your new year's well first things first okay i haven't seen you in so long or talked to you. We can't do this ever again. I know. I was just, before I called you, I was telling the wife tears, like, I don't like taking that long off. No, I don't think we should do this ever again.

Yeah. I don't know. Why did we decide? I think we decided to do it because Christmas was on a Wednesday and that's when it would come out. And then it was like New Year's Eve, New Year's, whatever. Anyways, we just need to not do that again i imagine the yf years are very angry at us it was too long yeah we're sorry because like i watched

a lot of shit but like it's been so long i can't even remember what i watched you should um take notes blah blah blah nah no that's not what's that's we're not doing that that's not for me um i watched a lot of stuff but i just got like a lot of like stuff i want to talk about you know oh well let's just dive into it well first yeah how yeah how was your holiday i feel like i did christmas early because my family came to visit me like mid-december yeah and when they were here like you know we did christmas party thing and like it just felt like christmas already so i kind of felt like I'd already had it. So Christmas for me was just chilling.

Okay. And like hanging with the farm animals, obvi. And then New Year's, I played a gig in Nashville. So I got to be at home, you know, which was really great. Fun. It was great. You know, I drank a lot of champagne. Yeah.

I wore a pretty dress. Nice. I made a good chunk of change. Yeah. Can't complain. All right. So. I wore a pretty dress. Nice. I made a good chunk of change. Yeah. Can't complain. All right. So what about you? Holidays were great.

We had Sarah's parents come in town. The only thing that sucked was Sarah got COVID like the day before her parents got in town. And obviously her dad's on Broadway, so he can't get COVID. So we had to put them up in a hotel and couldn't see them for a couple of days, which sucked. But I guess the silver lining was, is that Sarah got COVID and that's a scary thing for someone who's immunocompromised, but she was able to beat it really quickly, actually.

Oh, good. Did you ever get it? No, I never got it. I was making out with her the entire time. I don't know what's going on. Yeah. And then my dad came in town and we were all together

and it was so much fun. And then we had, you know, New Year's, we got invited to a bunch of cool stuff. Like we got invited to go bunch of cool stuff. Like, um, we got invited to go to Aspen with some friends or veil or whatever. I don't even know where it was. Oh yeah. I saw, I saw Sean and Nina. Yeah. Sean and Nina invited us and we were like, yeah, I was like, that sounds like fun. I know. But we were like, we've traveled so much. And then, um, our buddy Glenn Powell has like this, uh, really cool ranch in Texas and he invited us

and our buddies, Kayla and Tanner and C Overstreet, they were all going. We're like, that sounds like so much fun. But we were like, we've traveled so much this year. Let's just stay at home. Don't want to do it. Yeah, let's just chill. So we went to the golf club, had dinner, which was nice. We had dinner with a bunch of old people.

So it's nice to like ring in the new year being like, this is what I'm going to be soon. I'm going to be one of these old people. Even though I kind of am one of those old people already. And then we came home and a couple of friends came over and we rang in the new year. We are getting old because those were the most boring New Year's recaps I've ever heard in my life.

I know. Yeah. It is what it is. We're old people now and that's fine. Is it? No, not really. I hate it. Well, YFTers, we've missed you and we're glad to be back. Truly, truly we have. Yeah. Should we shut the show? Yeah. Go for it. Start it off. Oh, okay. I could start the whole year off. I'm so excited. All right.

the first episode of 2024. We're only a couple of days into 2024 and like so much has happened. Uh, has it? Yeah. I mean, like, okay. So the golden bachelor happened that was that did happen it seemed a little why do we have to do it so quickly anyways um gypsy rose is out of prison cat williams

is like calling out like every person in hollywood for being in the luminati there's aliens in a mall in miami aaron rogers and jimmy kimmel are fighting and shia labououf wants to become a deacon. Oh. He thinks he's me, dude. He thinks he's me. Well, I didn't know about any of this except the aliens. And I did see there was a tornado in Fort Lauderdale, which is terrifying. Amazing.

Yeah. Let's start with the golden bachelor wedding. Let's do. I was severely disappointed at how little camera time you got, honestly. Okay. So do you want to hear something really funny? I wasn't going to go because Sarah can't go because she's obviously employed by a different TV company and like her being on TV probably wouldn't have been the greatest thing in the world.

So I really kind of wasn't going to go. It would have been fun. I was like, oh, it's fun to see Ben and Dean and Caitlin and everyone there. But I was like, I I've been to nine weddings in the past year. I don't know if I need another one. So then I get a phone call on new year's day, hung over. And they're like, Hey, listen, Jesse, his wife is about to give birth and she does not want him to go to this wedding. We need you to come and be his backup in case he doesn't come. I was thinking that.

Yeah, and I was like, okay, that's, yeah, cool. So first of all, they sent me the script of this entire thing like 18 hours before we're about to do it. And I'm like, okay. So I go there, I do the entire rehearsal as Jesse, effectively. So I go there. I do the entire rehearsal as Jesse effectively. It's the night before. And I'm like, when do I find out if I'm doing this?

We'll know at 6am tomorrow morning, if he gets on an airplane. Okay. So at 6am comes and I'm like, Hey guys, am I doing this or not? And they're like, um, we're not really sure. We're not really sure. Maybe five hours before we go live. They're like, he's not really sure. We're not really sure. Oh my gosh. Maybe five hours before we go live. They're like, he's on a plane. He's coming, but he might have to turn around because if she goes into labor, like, so the entire time I was like, I might have to do this thing.

I was like, you guys, this is live to tape, right? And so like for everyone that doesn't know what that means, live to tape usually means there's like a little bit of a delay, like a 20 minute delay just in case. And they're like, no, this is live baby live. And I was like, you're telling me that we're doing this entire thing live with me. Who's had less than a day with this script. Number one. And two, you've got charity. Who's great on camera, but never done like live stuff other than like probably being interviewed on Dancing with the Stars.

Right. And unhinged Kathy, who's never done anything like this. I was like, can we have like a 20 minute delay? Like, what does it matter if it's like a little bit delayed? Oh, we don't want spoilers. It's like spoilers. Everyone knows they're getting married. What are we talking about here?

What's happening? Yeah. I guess the Brayen thing, but like, yeah. Which I know, which by the way, that was not in the script the day beforehand. So,

yeah. So anyways, I was supposed to host it and then he came in and did it. That would have been so epic. I know, but it also might've been an absolute train wreck. Yeah. But that would have been fun to watch.

I know that would have been great. Yeah. Uh, could it help my career? Could it hurt my career? Who knows? Probably a little of both. Yeah, but that would have been fun to watch. I know. That would have been great. Yeah. Could have helped my career. Could have hurt my career. Who knows? Probably a little of both. Yeah, probably.

But I would have enjoyed it. I didn't watch it. But when we were doing the rehearsals, Charity and Kathy were so unhinged. Oh, my God. I was like, what are they talking about right now? I actually kind of thought Kathy was good. Yeah. Once I wasn't hosting it, then I was just like in the party.

So I didn't get to hear her. But like when I was doing the rehearsal, her bit was like, I'm single. I'm alone. Find me a man. And that was like the entire bit, like the entire night. When we were doing the rehearsal, I was like, Kathy, at the end, I was like, Kathy, are you single? I haven't heard.

You know what I thought she did well? There were a couple of times where I could tell they would be talking to somebody and it was time for them to go and someone else to come in, you know, for an interview or whatever. Yeah. And Charity would have just sat there and talked to them all night long.

And Kathy was like really good at moving it along and being like, okay, off you go. Like, I don't know. I thought she was pretty good. Good. I haven't watched it. I was just there for it. And then I know every bit that happened

because I had to rehearse the entire thing. Yeah. Regardless of the fact that like, I've worked on like Bachelor shows for so long, I do have some things that like, I did not love about what they did that night. Okay. I thought it was really, really weird

that Leslie and Faith were there. Agree. If this was my wedding, if there was a, ben and lauren wedding right on live tv and i was ben i would be so upset that jojo was in the front row yeah and if i was lauren i'd have been like what are you doing why is this is really weird the other thing i like kathy i thought like she i thought she was amazing TV. Like the zip it thing was so funny, but like the one person who was kind of mean to Teresa

was the one who was like showcased the entire wedding. True. If I was Teresa, I'd be like, hold on. You're not having her do this at my wedding. The one person who was kind of mean to me the entire time and told me to zip it. True. Those things just weirded me out. Great TV, I suppose. I'm just saying like if I was Teresa or Gary, I'd be like, what are we doing? Why are they here? Yeah, I agree.

Love Brayden. Love Christina, actually. Yeah, what a cute couple. They're so cute. And I've known about that for a long time. Did not think that that was an appropriate place and time to do that. I agree.

I even told producers, I was like, this is Gary and Teresa's night. You shouldn't try to take it that anything away from them. And like, we don't need, we don't need this for this to be successful. Like it's already successful. Well, he asked Gary's permission if it was okay. And I said, that's all well and good. But did he ask Teresa's? Cause that's Teresa's big day too. Yeah. I saw a lot of people on TikTok say it was cringy and that you shouldn't propose at somebody else's wedding. So yeah, I mean, I don't even know if it was cringy. I'm just, I just think like, okay, it was cute. I was right there. I filmed the entire thing actually on my phone, but I just was like, I'm not sure if the timing's right for that. Yeah. Like maybe like,

let's do paradise next year and do it there you know or whatever yeah those are like kind of like my overall thoughts taisha and caitlin sat at the same table together i did not i didn't i don't think i even really saw taisha yeah on screen but i was multitasking so there's a chance i missed that um I don't really know the tea on all this. Okay, so I'll give you the rundown. I've just started picking up on it via TikTok. Yeah. But this is kind of the first I've really heard in the past couple of days of the whole

Caitlyn and Zach thing. Yeah, so the rumor was that Zach was cheating on Tayshia or Caitlyn was cheating on Jason with Zach. Oh, see, I didn't even hear that part. I just thought they went on a date or something. And then Caitlyn went online and was like, I never cheated on anybody. I swear my dog's life or something like that.

And then there were pictures that showed up from New Year's Eve where she had her arm around Zach or whatever. So I guess she didn't really kind of, she didn't denounce her hooking up with Zach. She just said that she didn't cheat on, no one cheated on anybody. Right. Here's my advice to people in the bachelor world.

Stop dating people from the bachelor world. I know. There are 7 billion people on this earth. Yeah. You've got a lot of options. We got to stop. Like it's one thing if you met on the show and like left options. We got to stop. Like it's one that you met on the show and like left together.

Great. But stop the intertwining incestual weirdness of the bachelor world. Right? Yeah, you're right. Yeah. I'll tell you my least favorite thing about the entire thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The band at the end. You know who that was i don't but it wasn't good on television so that was the dan band what's that you know wedding crashers yeah you know the band that's like i fucking need you more tonight i fucking need you more than ever that's that band got. But here's the problem with that. You know, the whole thing this year was Journey, Don't Stop Believin'. You know? Right.

You're an old person, but you can still find love. That song is sung by Journey, Steve Perry, who has one of the highest registers of ours or any other generation. And then you got some guy who probably doesn't have that vocal range doing that song. We needed to drop it a few keys. It was not good. Like now that you say, oh, that's the band from Wedding Crashers. I get like, oh, they're supposed to be funny.

Oh, it's supposed to be bad. Okay. But to me, that wasn't the right thing for this wedding. Like it just didn't fit. Like at one point he literally was like, catch me, Jerry and Gary, catch me,

Gary. And, um, and like no one even acknowledged it. It was just like a weird thing. I don't know. I was there when we rehearsed it and I was like, Hmm,

this is going to be interesting. This is going to be an interesting outro. Uh, but we shall see how it goes. But here's the thing. Then there was like a real, uh, reception, but it wasn't filmed. And the band was awesome oh same band no completely different

like a total wedding band fun fact the wedding planner same person who um did my wedding mindy weiss oh wow yeah it's good to see her that yeah anyways i loved i cried at the wedding especially like when like the kids gave speeches and stuff, it was so cute. Very cute. It was like a really long thing. It was like, was it two hours? So long. That's why like I wasn't really paying attention to all of it.

So I may have missed things. My thing was, is like, why isn't it just the wedding? Why do we have to like pretend it's the Emmys? We're like, we're going to the gold carpet to see what Carson Daly's wearing here at the end. You know, like, why was it just? And then I remember doing the rehearsal and it's all. And coming up, Gary and Teresa finally tie the knot on live TV.

And we're back. Coming up, Gary and Teresa finally find love. Coming up. And it was like six of them where I was like, are we ever going to get to this wedding? Totally. Anyways. I met all the golden bachelor ladies, though. Joan's lovely.

Ellen's lovely. Yeah. Leslie's lovely. I met her and her brother. She also just got back from surgery. I'm like, what are you doing here, lady? Get out of here. Faith is so nice.

Teresa is so, so pretty in person and so tiny and petite. She's great. And I'll tell you what, Joey, nice guy. Oh yeah, he's cute. He's got that bachelor glow up, you know? Beautiful green eyes. I loved his green suit.

I usually despise the suit choices on the men of the show, He's got that bachelor glow up, you know? Beautiful green eyes. I loved his green suit. Yeah. I usually despise the suit choices on the men of the show, but I loved his green suit. Yeah. We all went and played golf. I beat him. So that's good. Love that for you. Yeah. So anyways, that was the golden bachelor wedding in Palm Springs.

What a time. What a time to be alive, guys. So you saw the aliens at the mall in Miami, right? Yeah. Okay. So for those of you that don't know about this, like 200 cop cars show up at this mall in Miami where there were reports of like 10 foot tall aliens in a portal. Come to find out it was kids fighting with sticks, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense and seems like a really big overreaction from the police department

if it's kids with sticks, right? Yeah. So on TikTok, everyone's saying it was aliens and then the cops are just lying about it. And you know what? I believe it. Me too. I saw someone on TikTok, they were like,

they got the longitude and latitude wrong. The longitude and latitude of the Miami marketplace, the Miami Bayside marketplace, when you flip them around, it's the center of Antarctica, which is the portal to whatever. And I'm like, I believe it. 100%. That's exactly what happened. The aliens fucked up the longitude latitude. Yeah. That makes a little sense. Sure, sure. There was a lot of people that showed up. I know.

And if it was like a bomb scare, that's a lot of cops. You just never know what's really going on in Florida. Totally. You know? 100%. Can we talk about Gypsy Rose for a second? Who is that? You don't know who Gypsy Rose is?

No. gypsy rose for a second who is that you don't know who gypsy rose is no so her mom abused her and like made her doctors think that she was sick and she wasn't sick okay she had her boyfriend kill her mom you you're not you don't remember this i don't is this a documentary was it joey king yeah joey king played her in the oh the movie. Patricia Arquette played the mom. I don't think I saw it. Okay, well, this is not as fun to talk about if you don't know what I'm talking about. But I think a lot of people out there know who Gypsy Rose is.

Anyway, so she finally got out of prison, right? And she's kind of going on this like whole celebrity tour thing. Like what? She's going on all the talk shows. She was on Nick's podcast. She's kind of being like treated as like a celebrity, which is weird.

I hate that. Yeah, I know. And like, so there's two ways to look at it. You know, she kind of fought back against someone who's abusing her, which is like,

yeah, good for you, I suppose. But like you did, you had someone kill your mom, you know, like you could have maybe called the cops or something. I don't know. i'm sure like maybe people

didn't believe her or whatnot you're a celebrity now because you got i don't think and the guy the boyfriend that killed the mom's still gonna be in jail forever right true i don't know i could be totally off on this i just feel like a weird feeling from it i need you to be more caught up with like current events i get get my news from TikTok. So if it's not on my TikTok algorithm, I just don't know anything. Okay. Did you see the whole thing with Kat Williams?

No. Fuck. I got to get a new co-host here. I got to get someone who knows what's going on. Why don't you start sending me these news articles? Okay. So Kat Williams went on Shannon Sharpe's podcast and basically was like,

the Illuminati is fucking the world over and the reason Kevin Hart is the reason why Kevin Hart's such a big figure is because he is part of the Illuminati and all this stuff. This has been a thing for years and years and years. People thinking celebrities are

the Illuminati. I know. I have yet to be approached by any Illuminati. Me too. Everyone thinks my sister's in it. I'm like, I would know. Would you? Yeah. Yeah. How do you get in that? I don't know. Anyways, I feel like TikTok is not what it used to be.

It's not. I feel like the end of TikTok is nigh. I could see it. Here's an ad for a vacuum cleaner. Here's an ad for a vacuum cleaner. Here's an ad for a pump to pump up your tires. Here's a bunch of lives of people just fucking not doing anything really saying, thank you. Oh, thank you. Oh, thank you. And then it's like three things I like. And it's like, I scrolled through 17 things I did not want. I know. You know, I do feel like it used to be more like comedy based TikTok. Yeah. And now it's not. Now it's like a lot of tutorials and shit like that.

And you're like ads. It's like really funny videos split screen with like weird life hacks of turning bottle caps into broom holders. And I'm like, are we so ADD'd out? We can't even watch one video. That's funny. We have to also be watching this other video of like hacks of like things I didn't need. I don't need to have, oh, I can turn a jar lid into a thing that holds screws. Thank God I know that now. Some of the life hack videos are like

educational. I guess, but some of them I'm'm here for it's a lot of stuff with glue guns i gotta be like glue sticks i like the ones that like i like i watched one last week that um was like a hack for like cleaning your washing machine yeah with vinegar and i did it and it worked and i was like thanks for that tip yeah it did so like things like that i'm here for okay yeah it's just a glorified youtube i guess right like i guess it's really sad i'm starting to like i gotta get away from that yeah i don't know if you get this it's an ad to pump up my tires i don't get this one okay for some reason it thinks that i need my tires are unafflated i get it all the time and there's a a vacuum. There's like the TikTok vacuum. I get that a lot. There's like the knockoff Dyson hair dryer.

I get that all the time. What are the ads you get? Maybe you get the better ones. I get a lot of ads for like, this tool will take all the dog hair off of all of your clothes. Things like that. Yeah, I've seen that one. Which are good. Those are nice. We got that one for like the carpet. Didn't fucking

work. It didn't? No, and also everything's coming from China. Which are good. Those are nice. We got that one for like the carpet. Didn't fucking work. It didn't? No, and also everything's coming from China. It takes seven months to get here. I know. It's like, hey, China, what did you do? Did you put us on a sailboat? I also get like a lot of like closet organization ads

that I'm a sucker for and things like that. Got it, got it, got it. Yeah, I don't know. And then I've gone down this weird suburban mine TikTok. Have you heard about that? No. It's this lady who's mining underneath her house, and she lives in suburbia. What?

Mining for what? I don't know. She's building a fucking giant tunnel underneath her house. Oh, my God. Trying to break El Chapo at a jail lady? It makes no sense to me. Is she like a doomsday prepper? I don't even know.

It makes no sense. She's like pouring concrete out there, reinforcing the wall so it doesn't collapse in. If I'm in her neighborhood, I'm like, hey, lady, don't dig under my head. How does she have time for all this? She's got a jackhammer. Does she go to work? I have no idea. How do you live?

It makes no sense. The Epstein list came out. I did hear about that. Anyone you know on that bitch? I didn't read it. Yeah, I didn't either. I mean, I read some of it. I mean.

Probably, to be honest, but. I'm not super surprised that Bill Clinton was. I know. Man, I want to go down to the island. That sounded more like George Bush, but. And Trump was kind of on it, but kind of not. You know, I don't know yeah you know a lot of people in hollywood were like fuck yep this is not a good start to the year um you got some fave things bro or what's going on i do okay okay my ultimate fave thing yeah yeah yeah that is the thing i texted you about did you

watch the murder at the end of the world i did and loved it holy fuck it's my favorite show that i've seen in a very long time i will say this sarah and i called it yeah i could have guessed that that you may be you're good at that like the i mean both of you guys are good at that i guess because i don't know like i love to get so lost in something that i almost almost don't look for the answers because I want to enjoy it. You know what I mean? But my sister, for instance, has been on so many sets that she can't help but think that way too. And so she always knows everything. But I just love to live in denial and not let myself figure it out. But I loved the show. I'm obsessed with

Emma Corrin. And i think it's so interesting that i just watched her season of the crown and that's actually why i started watching the show because i saw her name and i was like oh i loved her as princess diana i'm gonna watch this interesting i know and she was fantastic i mean the whole cast is great the show is great but she carries that entire show i mean the hours that girl spent on set, she is in like every single scene. Like it's pretty amazing. I thought she was so good. And then I'm absolutely obsessed with the guy Harris. I think it's Harrison Dixon. Harris Dickinson. Harris Dickinson. Okay. Not Harrison. I'm obsessed with him. And he was so good in this. I never saw Triangle of Sadness, but I'm going to go back and watch that now because I've seen him and saw he was in that in this i never saw triangle of sadness but i i'm gonna

go back and watch that now because i've db'd him and saw he was in that i know and i heard it was great amazing and then also like he is about to blow the fuck up he's also in the new iron claw movie that just came out which i really am dying to see um with zack efron and jeremy allen white and he is also in the new parada campaigns like he is about to just absolutely blow up and it's so well-deserved. I think he's incredible. I'm obsessed with him. Darby Hart, a Gen Z amateur sleuth, attempts to solve a murder at a secluded retreat.

Murder at the end of the world on Hulu. Written by Britt Barling. She's the one who did like the OA and Another Earth. She's a genius, really good writer. She is a genius. Yeah, she's really good. Clive Owen. She wrote it. She's in it. Like good writer. She is a genius. Yeah, she's really good. Clive Owen. Like, she wrote it. She's in it. Like, what the fuck?

She did that with the OA, too. It's crazy. Yeah, Clive Owen's in it. And then a bunch of other, obviously, Emma Corrin and Harris Dickinson. So good. So it's a whodunit murder mystery. Sarah and I were talking about this, though. Like, as humans, we love it. We love murder

mysteries. I mean, Sherlock Holmes is like, you know, there's a reason why that's such a big genre but it is so incredibly unrealistic there is of course there has never been a time which you have been because oh you have to be stranded you have to have no connection to the outside world for this to make sense and that never happens like anytime there would be a murder be like we need to have no connection to the outside world for this to make sense. And that never happens. Like anytime there would be a murder, we'd be like, we need to have the cops here now. I know. Please come here. And like, so yes, of course, it's like a retreat in Iceland.

And like, yeah, there's a storm, whatever. So many crazy things need to happen for a murder mystery to be actually a thing. That's so true. The other massive part of this story though, is like their flashbacks to hunting down that serial serial killer, which I thought was like just such an incredible, like side story, like a whole nother story and like set, you know, of this entire series. And honestly, like that was the part I think I loved the most was like their story and, you know, their road trip and their discovery and all that. I don't know. I thought it was one of the best shows.

I get told my mom, it's the best thing I've seen since Silo. And she actually she was like, I liked it better than Silo. And I was like, well, it's different. But yeah, like I just think those two young actors are just so freaking talented. I watched Rebel Moon. Did you watch that? I did watch Rebel Moon. I loved it.

I did, too. OK, good. I loved it. I did too. Okay, good. I loved it, yeah. I think it was kind of getting like mixed reviews. I could see that. When a peaceful settlement on the edge of a distant moon finds itself threatened by armies of a tyrannical ruling force, a mysterious stranger living among its villagers

becomes their best hope for survival. Rebel Moon on Netflix. Zack Snyder wrote it and directed it. I mean, this is everything I love. Fantasy, space, Mikael Huseman, Charlie Hunnam. Like, the list continues. Yeah, they wrote this for you. They really did, didn't they?

They should put me in the second one. Zack Snyder was like, I need to write a movie that Brandi Cyrus would really be into. Who do I got to get? Well, we got to get Mikael Huseman in. He's so hot. He's so hot in this.

Like, he's just so hot. And then we got to get Charlie Hunnam for sure. Also hot. Also, spoiler alert. Okay, wives, if you haven't seen Rebel Moon,

just fast forward like 20 seconds here. Spoiler alert. Devastated that Charlie's the bad guy. Absolutely gutted. Like I saw it coming. I knew it deep down.

Yeah, come on. Devastated. I know. I don't know if you know this, but Zack Snyder wrote it to be part of the Star Wars franchise and took it to Disney and they said no on it. And then he was like, okay, I'll go to Netflix and just make. So if you watch it, it's like very much like a Star Wars. wars very much even like one of the girls has a lightsaber you know yeah i

loved it it was loved it i thought it was so fun me too yeah okay good i'm glad you know there's another one coming out in april oh yeah i know yeah i'm pumped um the girl the lead girl she hasn't done a whole lot she's incredible and what a great what a great like breakout role for her not break i know she's done a couple other things but like this is i think her first like massive thing with with another massive cast she's so good any other favorite things i'll start with the most recent thing i watched okay you might have to look up what it's called um it's on hbo it's a um docu-series i guess i've only watched one episode so the way i would describe it is it's like a oh yeah it's called edge of the earth the way i would describe it

just from watching the first episode is uh like a documentary about like extreme action sports i guess i don't know i love documentaries i love sports. I love anything that's travel related shows like the landscapes of places. So like episode one, these guys, well, not these guys, these two guys and a girl go to like the middle of frickin nowhere, Alaska, where no one has been. And they hike 15 miles in on this glacier, climb a mountain that's like never been summited and skied and they ski and snowboard to the bottom and it's fucking epic four groups of athletes embark on four never before accomplished missions edge of the earth on hbo max it's so good i don't i wasn't familiar with anybody in this first episode but like they're all experts in what they do right like the girls got x games medals or

olympic medals and the guys like one of the most he's like he's like snowboarded the most extreme routes like all over the world like nepal crazy shit and it shows their entire journey and it's like takes like three weeks to do it and of course they like get caught in a blizzard and get caught in avalanches like there's all these things happening um and you watch them like conquer this mountain that's never been done. And it's very cool. So I'm excited to finish the series and see what the other episodes are about. Nice.

Do you remember that story of the woman who went through the drive-thru at McDonald's and spilled coffee on herself and sued McDonald's? And it became like this big story about frivolous lawsuits in the United States and like how terrible and petty we are as Americans and like of course coffee's hot what the fuck do you think lady you remember this yeah okay so I did some more research into this okay and it's a lot different than what I was initially thought to believe like Like, yeah, of course, bitch, coffee's hot. Like, make sure the top's on, lady.

This is on you. But when I tell you it's so much more aggressive than what we thought. Okay, her name was Stella. It happened in 1992. The coffee that burned her was so dangerously hot, it caused third-degree burns through her clothes in three seconds. She had third degree burns over 16% of her body. And here's the thing that no one ever told us,

including her inner thighs and genitalia. The skin on her genitalia was burned away. It was so hot, it fused her labia oh good good good yeah you should fucking sue if your vagina gets fused what kind of coffee we make it over here mcdonald's you gotta learn a lesson that doesn't sound good i couldn couldn't believe it. What are you serving over here? Magma from a volcano? How'd you heat this thing up in a nuclear reactor? Did you get this breakfast blend from the depths of Mordor? Are you brewing it on Venus?

What do you call this coffee? Satan's butthole? We're out here fucking shaming this poor lady. Frivolous lawsuit, you dumb bitch. Of course coffee's hot. The sky is blue. What? You forgot to tell everybody about the

labia problem? No one at CNN or Fox News or MSNBC told me that part of the fucking equation? No. Lady, you deserve all the money in the world. Also, McDonald's, you got fucking plenty of money. They do. It's very fucked up.

What? Why are you just now putting these pieces together? I remember my parents being like, frivolous lawsuit, ambulance chaser, fuck this bitch. What?

You didn't hear about the fucking, her genitalia was burnt off. I literally cannot. 92 year old lady. Or 70 year old lady. Oh. Anyways. Hello.

Okay. Yeah. But speaking of lawsuit. Okay. The other thing I watched was hbo put out a documentary about the gwyneth trial oh because when she hit the guy yeah yeah yeah it's garbage don't waste your time i basically watched a better version of it on tiktok while it was happening oh yeah yeah it's a waste of time okay so you know how we make fun of the mormons a lot yeah okay i'm now going to make fun of what i am which is catholic or christian okay okay so i

saw this video on tiktok and it kind of blew me away right yeah mia if you were to be martyred for the faith what way would you go out personally if i'm dying for christ, I don't care. Like, I'm going out. Okay, fair. Evan, if you could be martyred for the faith, what way would you go out? Back in the biblical times, they would stone people. And I think telling that story in heaven would be cool. Because it's painful. I'm never falling for Jesus.

Never. What? Amen. Amen! Olivia, if you could be martyred for the faith, what would it be? Um, definitely eaten by lions. That would be kind of sick. What? Amen. What? What? What?

These people are nuts. I feel like getting thrown off the highest building would be tough. You could at least enjoy the ride down. Okay. Ethan, if you could get martyred for Christ, what way would you go out? Probably shot in the head. Caleb, if you're martyred. Okay. We got to.

This is. I don't like this. Okay. So they're glorifying being martyred for Christ. Where are these kids and who hurt them? What? And they're like, think it's cool or whatnot. No, I know, I gathered.

That is, someone said, I want to be stoned to death because it'd be really painful and it'd be a cool story to tell in heaven. Something tells me Jesus would be like, hold on. I feel like you weren't listening to anything I was saying. Where did you find this video? I don't know. Obviously, I get a lot of Mormon stuff, so now I'm starting to get crazy Catholic stuff

too. So it just popped up for you on your algorithm? Yeah. That scares me for you. But what's scary to me is that that is glorified for these kids. Like they think that like, it would be so cool to be martyred for Christ. Yeah. These kids are romanticizing being martyred.

I don't think that's a good thing for you to romanticize. Am I way off base here? Do they, are they joking or are they just doing this? Dead serious. I'll tell you how I'd want to go out. If I was being martyred for the faith. How? Hot cup of coffee between my legs.

Burn that genitalia right off. I went up to the head. You guys don't even know what happened to me. That wouldn't take you all the way out. My pee-pee got burned off at McDonald's. You'd still be alive, though. Oh, man., craziness. Unfortunately for you, you would be. I have great news on the music front.

Oh, okay. You are a big fan of Sublime. I know that. I'm a big fan of Sublime. R.I.P. Bradley Newell. Passed away too young. Growing up in California, Sublime was the thing.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Sublime were like, this is California's band. I didn't know that Bradley Newell, the lead singer of Sublime, had a son. I didn't know that Bradley Newell had a son that played music and sounds exactly like him. I need to play for you Bradley Newell's son playing with the band Sublime. that's pretty cool doesn't he sound just like his dad identical he's even up there with his

shirt off just like his dad i know it's pretty cool. Cause I feel like a lot of kids wouldn't want to do that. Right. A lot of kids feel like they want to make their own path and like, whatever. So I think it's kind of cool that he's leaning into it. I remember I interviewed Jacob Dillon years ago and it was like, do not ask me about my father. And I was like, I get it, but you do sound a lot like your dad just saying and also the wallflowers that first record amazing yeah well i think we're gonna have a new soundbar clip ah or maybe i already did this anyways oh yeah you did i did Bitch, what the fuck? All right, you get the idea. I just love how much you love that.

It's so great. It's the best. I finally watched Barbie. Yeah, did you like it? Did you watch it? I watched my wife watch it on a plane, and I thought to myself, this isn't for me. Yeah, it's definitely not for guys, I'll tell you that.

I like it. It's fine. I don't, like, people were really just obsessed with it. I think it's good. I'm not sure it's, like, the greatest fucking thing in the world, like everyone was making it seem to be, but it's good. I love Margot Robbie, you know, so, like, I enjoyed it. I do feel like Ryan Gosling, like, you know, so like I enjoyed it. I do feel like Ryan Gosling,

like I'm fascinated that he took the role. Like I think for me, it would have been hard to find a guy that would want to take this role because it is very, what's the right way to say it? Like- Feminist? Yes, that's a nice way of saying it. Like they really make men look like garbage in this movie, which you know I love so much but

um to find a guy that was willing to play that is like impressive so good on ryan for you know having the balls to play that role i mean he's perfect for it although i do feel like they made him and i know it was like the character but like usually i think ryan gosling is so hot and like he didn't look great in this movie. Really? Yeah. Didn't look his best. So what you're trying to say is men are garbage. Is that what you're trying to say? True. Yeah. But not Ryan Gosling obsessed.

No. And Michael Cera's in it too, right? He has like four lines and he's fucking hilarious. I would have liked to have seen more Michael Cera, you know? Yeah. You got anything else? You got Muzak's? Ryan Adams put out a new album.

Really? I listened to it once through the other day. I mean, it just sounds like Ryan Adams, you know? Okay. So if you like Ryan Adams. If you like Ryan Adams. I mean. I like it.

Are we allowed to like Ryan Adams again? I don't know. I don't know either. I mean, he was canceled for a little bit, but I think he's back. I know. But I do like him. I know. I do too. I don't really know. I don't want you guys I think he's back. I know, but I do like him. I know, I do too. I don't really know.

I don't want you guys to be angry at us. I know. Let's see. I got some stuff. I don't know how to pronounce this band's name, but it's Leon Bridges with Kahroonbin. I really like this. This is a song called Texas Sun that I was digging on.

Texas Sun. Oh, I've heard this. Have you? Caressing you from Fort Worth to Texas sun Oh, I've heard this. Have you? Mm-hmm. Caressing you from Fort Worth to Hammerin' Low Come on, roll with me To the sun-gifted snow

Texas sun Texas sun I do love when soul and country meet. It is always good. It's so nice. And then I'm like, maybe I just wish that all country singers sounded like soul singers. Maybe that's what I really want.

I found this guy on, on Tik TOK. Someone like, I love, this is what's happening now. It used to be that I was the tastemaker like at lightning 100, like we'd have music meetings and like I would discover shit. And now the YFT years now know my sensibilities so much that they now tag me

in shit that I'm so now they're the tastemakers for me. And then I'm just regurgitating it back to you it's a very fun funny like cyclical situation that's happening anyways to the wife here that sent me this thank you so fucking much this guy's name is monrovia and he is awesome this is a song called city on a hill check it out cool you look back at the footprints on the path where does that leave you Cool. When you're there, remember how it feels Ooh, the loneliest city on the hill Ooh, the loneliest city on the hill Good drive of music. You got anything?

Have I talked to you about Cameron Marlowe before? I don't think so. I don't think so either. He's a country guy so and i know you don't like country very much so i may have brought him up and you just don't remember but he put out an album in 2022 that i loved called we were cowboys but he isn't up he's like a new up-and-coming country artist um and there's a lot of those right now like there's a lot of young girls and guys coming up on the country scene. I think he's the fucking best. He's got the voice.

He's got the songs. He's cool as fuck. I'm a big, big fan. And he put out a new song called Tennessee Don't Mind. If you do like country music and you haven't heard of Cameron Marlowe, I highly recommend you check him out. He's so talented. You want to go out on it?
