This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. Now approaching the host of your favorite thing podcast, Wells and Brett. What? Brandy's not coming today? Why? Oh, because she's in a frozen tundra in Nashville, where the ice froze all the freaking electrical lines. and trees are falling left, right, and center. No one has any power.

And it's the closest has ever been there ever. Okay. Meanwhile, I live in Los Angeles. I wore shorts today. One of my favorite things is paying a lot of tax dollars for the ability to not lose thy power because of a super vortex polar storm. You know? Now, do we have fires and earthquakes? Yeah, we do. You know, we do. Okay, but that was last year. And this year, everything's been peachy keen. So yeah, Brandy's out today because, yeah, she has no electricity. And she's like, they went and bought a generator just to heat the water in the troughs for the animals. Her exact text to me was, tell the wife tears I'm fighting for a

my lives in the lives of 23 farm animals. Okay. Jesus Christ. Weather. What are you thinking? Let's pump the brakes a little bit. All right. I thought global warming was supposed to warm this bitch up. No, it's, it's, it's climate instability, which is so, we've got that. We've got that. So this is going to be a solo ride, which means let's be honest, it's going to be a short show. But let's also be honest. I'm the one who actually It has things to bring to this show all the time. So it's actually going to be the exact same, except there won't be some blonde trying to bring me down. If you really break down what this show is,

it's me telling you guys what my favorite things are, and then it's brandy trying to bring me down a peg for some reason, which I don't really understand, but that's been our dynamic, and you guys seem to love it. I think that what's going on is that there's a lot of ladies out there listen to this show when they love nothing more than for a mildly attractive white man to get his, you know, to get God. And I get it. I'll tell you what, though, TikTok has figured out I'm a Taurus and we're about to have an amazing year. It is, all the astronomers and all the

tarot readers are just like, Taurus, you don't even, dude, you don't even understand. You're leaving Venus and we're getting out of this thing. We're coming into this thing. And it's, It's going to be money, money, money, money, money. So much money is going to be coming my way. So says a bunch of crazy people with rainbow hair colored on TikTok that I'm going to be just giving it away by the end of the year. Which, thank God. A lot of people are like, you've been going through like this like seven years stint of instability and now it's finally going to steady out. And whatever you're excited about is going to be a thing.

and you're going to find money and love and happiness and all this stuff. And I said, thank you for lying to me. I'll take it. I'll take it. To be honest with you, I think all success is manifested. If this helps me think it might happen,

then it probably will. You know, I'm all here for it. It is funny, though, I don't, there's a part of me that's like, there's no, being born when you're born doesn't make you the type of person you are. It's the culmination of all your experiences. But the more I hear about it. the tenants of a tourist, the more I'm like, that's fucking me, dude. That is so me.

My favorite, someone did, did a video and they're like, dude, a tourist, they always drive because if they go to a party and they're over it, they're going to leave and they're not going to bring, they're not bringing you with them. They are out of there. And I was like, dude, I do that all the time. I'm like, this fucking sucks. I got to get out of here. Don't say goodbye to anybody, bail out. I also do the Irish eggs. That's more of a drinking thing. I'm like, I'm just going to go to bed. Nothing's got to be solved tonight. And the other one that people are talking about, he'll be like, dude, a tourist, if a

tourist says they're over you and like done, you're never going to hear from them again. And that is, that is so me, dude. There are so many people who have wronged me where I'm just like, okay, never talking to you again, no problem. I have no, I have no issue never talking to you again. I don't even know why I was talking to you in the first place. But I can cut people out like nobody's business. I got no problems with it.

And it's not because I'm a terrible person, guys. Okay? It's because I was born in May. The more people tell me about what I am, I'm like, you're not wrong. So I don't know. Maybe there is something to it. Maybe there is, I don't know. Speaking of TikTok, are you guys getting these vertical shorts where it's like soap opera,

but it's vertical and the acting is terrible? Are you getting these? I'm getting these. It's like a 20-second skit of, like these two people acting and sometimes they're paired pieces where they're taking place in the past and sometimes just now. And let me just say, apparently they're really popular. Apparently like the short form vertical content is like all about it. It's like what like the industry is talking about. And didn't someone try to do this? Like it was it to me that tried to do it? Some

company tried to do this and they were like three years earlier or something. Because I remember Tyler Cameron was supposed to have like a building like an HG TV show on it and then I never went because a terrible idea. Not the building show, the vertical shorts thing. But I don't know. It's working apparently on social media, but I get all these,

and they are horrendously bad at acting. So much so that I'm like, I think this might be a porn. You know, when you watch, I mean, whatever, you guys watch porn. You guys have seen a porn where you're like, oh my God, the cable man's here. And then you know, like,

when you come in and fix my cable and then also fix my insides, whatever. I don't know what they say, but you know, then you see the acting, you're like, that is bad acting, but I don't really care because I'm here to wank off. But this is porn acting, but everyone's keeping the clothes on. Guys, you're either one or the other. Either you're good at acting and you keep your clothes on or you're bad at acting and you take your

clothes off. Those are the rules set by the industry in 1927 by Walt Disney. And you know what? We can't deviate from that. What else is going on? Oh, dude. I don't even get me started on Minnesota. What a mess that is. I don't really give a shit about what you and what you believe and what you think. I don't. But I went on social media and I just expressed like the way that I felt about it. I think the thing that really annoys me, one, I'm already versed to like not love this administration.

But what really irks me about this and all politicians do it, but what really irks me about this current political cycle is that they're lying to me and it's so very obvious that they're lying to me. And I'm frustrated that other people can't see that. When you have this juggalo makeup artist overboard Christy Knoem being like, he pulled his gun and the, you know, the ice agents were just, you know, they were reacting. And then you see the video and you're like, dude, they took his gun away first off.

One cop or whatever the fuck they are. one ex-proud boy took the gun away, pepper spraying him, and then the dude shot him 10 times. And they're like, well, you know, he pulled the gun. And you're like, no, he didn't. I can see with my own eyes that that is not what happened. What I saw was a dude trying to get in between ice agents and a woman that they were like kind of beating the shit out of. Right.

And then they went after him. Then they found a gun. All right. It scared them. But it's scared. There was like eight of them. Dude, grow up. They saw the gun. They got the gun away from him.

And then one guy was like, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, you're dead. And then, you know, these Cash Patel and these Christy Nome have to be like, well, you know, he pulled the gun. You're like, no, he didn't do. That's not what happened. Don't freaking lie to me. And listen, I think that immigration is an important thing, but this doesn't seem like the way to go about it. These people in masks and stuff. And like, you don't know if, like, I'll be like, I don't know if you're a cop or not.

Dude, I can't see your face. I don't see your badge number. Like, you can't do this. This is wrong. And I feel really gross about this. And I, like, posted, like, a rage against the machine thing. I might have been a little bit out of pocket. I'll be honest with you.

But, like, I kind of equated it to the Holocaust. Ah, that might be a little overboard. First, I quoted this German pastor. And he was a critic of the Nazi regime. And I wrote, like, first they came for the communist. and I did not speak out because I was not a communist. Then they came for the trade unionist, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.

And then they came for the Jews. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak for me. And then I proceeded that with the quote of indifference to injustice becomes its accomplice. Because I started thinking, I was like, this is so messed up. And I often think when I watch World War II movies or I read about the Second World War, I'm like, if I was a German dude, I'd say something.

Like, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do this. Like this, I would be against this. And then I was sitting there watching the news and I was like, oh, I'm not doing anything. I'm not saying anything. I'm exactly what I said I wouldn't do in this certain particular space and time. So I was like, you know what? I'm going to post.

So I posted that stuff. Dude, the vile comments that came in were wild, dude. Wild. All I was saying was these masks guys going around and stealing free. people without due process and like just shooting people and then and then the government lying to us about like what happened even though we can see the evidence. I was like, this is messed up. That's all I was saying, which I think is true. And the amount of people with the prayer hands and the cross in their in their bio that said the most vile things to me was amazing. Amazing.

You know the problem with like super conservatives, sorry if you're listening to this and you one of those people, but I'm going to go out on a soapbox right now. The problem in lies with some of the people that have done the worst things to like family and friends have been like the most religious. And this is just my personal experience. And it's because you get to use the, well, God will forgive me of all the things that I do wrong if I just say, I'm sorry. You get this get out of jail free card, which I don't think is true and right.

Anyways, should we have like reasonable immigration reform? Absolutely. Should our borders be wide open for people to come in? Absolutely not. Is America greater now? I feel like it's worse. I feel like people are scared. This mask agency running around. Like, I don't know how this is great again. Anyways, real lively episode, huh? I'm sure a lot of people will like stop listening to this podcast because I feel this way. But that's just how I feel, dude. And I'm sorry, but whatever. We should start the show.

Blarf. Everyone who did that shame on you. Shame on you for doing that, okay? I hated it. I hated everything about it, even though 2016 was a big year for me. It was the year that I went on TV for the first time. I went and dated a young girl from Dallas named Jojo,

and I traveled around the world, and I got dumped in Argentina, then I went on Bachelor in Paradise. and then I became the bot, whatever. I don't want to post those pictures because those pictures now have to go up against the current pictures

and then everyone's going to see how much fatter I've gotten over the last 10 years. And I don't need that, okay? You don't need to know that I have slowly gained weight and I've slowly aged, not as gracefully as I thought I was going to.

I don't need you to know that, okay? But when you have the stark representation, of both timelines next to one another, boy oh boy, does everyone get to experience it. So I said absolutely not, not on my watch. I'm not putting that out, all right? Not doing that crap. I don't need to be reminded to the good old days. My back didn't hurt.

My prostate wasn't too large and having to pee three times a night. I don't need to live that world. I didn't know what this show is going to be like, but this is not how I expected it. I went to have to edit a lot of this stuff. I saw Kanye apologized. Okay, whatever, dude. I don't know. You said some pretty terrible things.

But I guess, yeah, good for you for, like, saying sorry. I mean, you were, like, praising Hitler and stuff. That was pretty messed up. I don't know how much brain damage you got to have to think that's a good idea. Even if you really believe that, don't say that out loud. People are going to get upset. You know, a lot of people died. But anyways, I guess good for him for atoning in his own way.

Or is he just trying to sell more like Balenciaga shoes for $7 million that are so ugly? I don't know. My new men's fashion has really taken off. And I'm excited for you guys to see some of my new fits. Listen, TikTok has really shown me the ways, all right? I no longer can wear beanies and skinny jeans and old motorcycle boots. Okay? I'm not that guy anymore.

So now I have to become more refined. What I'm learning about men's fashion and you're going to see, it's about layering. All right? It's all about layering. It's about having the T-shirt and then the collar shirt and then maybe the jacket over that paired with like the nice boot, maybe some bracelets and a nice watch, good glasses. Clothes, I guess. Old school Ralph Lauren, you know, I like that style. Paul Newman in like the 60s.

I want to look like that guy. The problem with layering is that I live in Los Angeles, which is beautiful every single day and I can't be wearing seven layers of clothing. Now, if you live in New York, you can do it, you know, because it's always just cold or whatever. I have to like hold off these cool outfits that I'm putting together that I'm throwing together until like the nighttime or just sweat but you know what pain is beauty pain is fashion you have some favorite things bro okay bro let me just tell you what like I told you last week I was listening to ready player one and I love that book so much it's so freaking good I just blazed through it took me no time at all actually so much so then I went into ready player two of which I have

already listened to or read and that's amazing too. Those books are phenomenal. And so I think this is what I'm going to do. I'm doing, I know I want to, but no one's given me a wreck since like Project Hail Mary. Nothing's really like blown my socks off since that book, I think. Beneath Sky was one that blew my socks off. I don't know that. But anyways, nothing has come around. So now I'm just like, I'm just going to go back and read the books that I love. So I'm absolutely obsessed with Freddie Player too. And if you. You have read it. Go read it again.

Just telling you. Talked about it last week too, but I am absolutely obsessed with the Night of the Seven Kingdom. So Duncan the Toll, I might like it much better than House of the Dragon. I don't know if I like it as much as Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones was such big world building that it was fun. You were having to deal with the Lannisters and the Baratheans and the Targaryens. And, you know, the scope was so grand. And then, you know, there was dragons and magic and stuff.

This one is just, well, let's, let's be honest, let's call a spade a spade. It is the story of a knight's tale, but it's happening in Westeros. You know, it's a knight who was really the page to the knight or the squire to the night, and then the knight dies, and so then he takes the armor and then he becomes a knight. And, yeah, it's the same, it's the same story. But this one is, I don't know what it is about it. It's one, I like the actor playing Sir Duncan the Tall, and I really, really like the kid playing egg. It's got that thing that Marvel does a pretty good job of this,

but this one's more subtle where it's equal parts really action-packed and funny. And then also heartfelt. Guardians of the Galaxy did such a good job where it was like a lot of action, a lot of comedy, and then like you really felt something. Like that last one with Rocket, I cried so hard in that film in that movie theater. And this is doing that where it's like, oh, it's fun. He's huge. He's a big boy. He's going to beat the crap. out of a lot of people, but then he's like getting drunk with the king and the kids making fun of him and the girls, you know, the hookers in Westeros or whatever are making fun of him. He's sensitive.

So then you're like, oh, stop being mean to him. And you start feeling. Makes you feel all the emotions. I don't know. It's, and it's doing without dragons and magic and showing a naked Darnaris Targaryen, which was fantastic for us boys. Actually, it goes the other way. In episode two, it's a flashback to when he was a squire and he was with his knight.

It shows the knight's weiner. And geez, Louise, that's a big weiner. Huge, right? Horse-esque, where you're like, I don't know about that. Gertie, it's like a Prangles can. In the first episode, he takes a shit. And you see this, you see it coming out of his butt. Gone of the days of us looking at Amelia Clark's boobs.

Now it's a bunch of big horse weans and taking poops. But I don't care. I love it. If you're not watching that, I feel like everyone's watching that. But if you're not watching that, you need to watch it. Okay. I watched something that I didn't care for. Skyscraper Live.

Dude, shut up. Do you guys see this? It was on Netflix. It's the guy that free soloed El Capitan in that documentary called Free Solo. His name's Alex. Arnold, Alex Arnold. And he decides to climb Taipei 101, one of the world's tallest buildings without safety equipment in a live broadcast event. So he goes to Thailand and he climbs this big freaking building. And it was like two hours of like annoying announcers on the ground being like,

look, now he's going to this thing. And terrible. I'm sure climbing a building is tough, but like probably not as hard. He's like, rock climbing, I feel like, you know? I don't know. There was like a W.W.E. A wrestler. I was like, I don't know why you're, why are you, why are you doing this? You, you do fake fighting.

Why don't we have a rock climbing professional here or like you're, his wife? It was a live event. I say skip it. Sorry. 101 stories to climb and no ropes. Alex Arnold skyscrape live. I tell you what I do like on Netflix is, is Bert Kreischer's new show Free Bert, mainly because, well, I've met Bert, and he is really a lovely

person to be around. He is the life of the party. His whole schick is very true. But also one of my best friends in the world, Arden, plays his wife. I was over at her house because she does a Bachelor podcast. Will you accept this rose? Anyways, I was over at her house recording her podcast about The Bachelor and off air, she was like, so I auditioned for Burt Kreischer's new show and we're like, oh, we hope you get it. And then now I'll watch it. I'm like, hell yeah. And she's also like, one of the best things about this show. She's so good. If you don't know who Burt Kreischer is, effectively the movie Van Wilder is based on his life. He was named by Rolling Stone Magazine, the biggest party boy at the biggest party school in college. He was like a

sixth year senior at Florida State and they wrote this whole thing about him and then they wrote the movie based on it and they stole it from him effectively. Anyways, now he's a stand-up comedian his stick as he takes his shirt off. I don't know if you know I'm talking about, but that's what he does. So this show is kind of like, it's a spoof on his real life though. So it's Bert Kreischer tries to fit into Beverly Hills Society when his daughters attend an elite private school. Free Bert on Netflix. I got to think that this is probably pretty true to what's really happening in this life. You know, he's a loudmouth comedian who takes his shirt off and might have a drinking problem, but he's probably sending his kids to like the nicest schools here in Los Angeles.

And there might be some clashing with the posh, fie guy, husbands and wives of some of these kids that his kids are going to school with. I don't know. It's very, very funny. The first episode, like, he's got these two daughters. And one of the daughters, she's, like, famous on TikTok. Her name's Ava Ryan. You've seen her on TikTok. At first and she's like a little girl. She's been making TikToks that are really, really funny.

Anyways, she's great, too. The whole show is very, very funny. And kind of heartfelt, too. I love it. Anyways, Freebert. Go check it out. I think you guys will dig on it. My next one is for all of you, Bridgerton.

lovers and knives out lovers. And I know you're thinking, well, those are two different things. What the fuck are you talking about? I'll tell you what I'm talking about. I'm talking about Agatha Christie's Seven Dials. I started watching this and I really like it. It's a period piece and it's happening in like, I don't know, the 20s in London. In 1925, a country house party prank turns deadly.

Lady Eileen Bundle Brent, investigate. the chilling murder plot. Lady Catherine and superintendent battle assist in solving the country house's mystery that changes Bundle's life. So Bundles the main character. She's this girl. And basically it starts out with, they're at this party.

It's like a masquerade party talking to like effectively her boyfriend, I think. He is like, hey, I want to take you to dinner next Tuesday. And I might ask you something. So it's kind of implied that like probably going to ask her to marry her. So she's like all excited about the future and everything. And then she runs into some friends who have like all these clocks in their in their like overcoats. And she's like, what are you doing with these clocks? And we're going to put these in his room, the boyfriend's room because he's always late to breakfast or whatever.

So it's all going to go off at like noon. So he gets down to breakfast. And then the next morning, after the party, all the alarms are going off. They go upstairs. It's made to look like he committed suicide. All the alarms are going off. and she's like it couldn't have been because I'm pretty sure he was going to try to marry me next week

you know, like he had plans. And the seven dials, it almost seems like it's some sort of like secret cult, like a skull and bone situation. I don't know, I really know. I only watched the first episode, but I really liked it. And it's like period piece meets murder mystery,

meets good acting. You know, like those vertical shorts I have to watch on freaking TikTok. Agatha Christie's Seven Diles. Check it out. I think you like. I think it's good. Okay, so this next one is just going to be for all you golfers out there,

which I don't know how many of them we got. But if you're not a golfer, just skip it out a minute or so. I went on YouTube the other day and I watched, I put it on my TV. I watched the 2019 Masters final day with Tiger and Kepka and Ricky, J.T. And Spieth. Everyone was in the hunt. Tony Fienow. Molinari pisses it away on 14 or 15?

Dude, electric, electric rewatch. If you haven't watched it since 2019, go watch it again. It's electric, okay? It's so much so that I was like, I want to watch the 2025 final day of the Masters where Rory tried his best to fuck it up. And you know what?

I knew what happened. I knew the outcome, and it still was hard to watch. But in a good way. So that's what I'm doing these days. I'm rewatching old golf tournaments that I love a lot. Okay? Am I, um, middle-aged white guy? I am.

Oh, man, this show goes by quick when Brandy's not here. I do have some, um, some calls. Let's take some calls. We got some voicemails. Let's check them voicemails. Let's see what's you guys are into these days. This is a 50 cent show. Oh, this is when I was talking about the Puff Daddy documentary.

I loved it so much. All right, check it. Let's check it out. Hi, Wells and Brandy. Yo. I just listened to the podcast where Wells was raving about 50 cent. I thought it would be a good time to call in to recommend the show that he produced. It's a whole six-season series.

Oh, yeah. And there's three spin-off. You know it has to be good. It's called Power. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was originally on stars, but I think it's also on Hulu. It's on the same caliber as like Game of Thrones, Ozark, Succession, all of those shows. It's about a drug dealer who doubles as a professional businessman.

It's such a good show. I think Matt would love it, Brandy. And I actually might watch it again if you guys watch it and maybe do some recap. Okay. Also, I remember a while ago you saying you started the Court of Thorns and Roses series. Yeah. If you never really discussed more about it, I was excited to hear what you thought, and if you read the other books. It's my favorite book series

I've ever read, so let me know what you think. Okay, that's all. Bye. I read, I think the first, I read the cord of thorns and roses, and I got in the second one, and I just fell off, and I'm so sorry about that. And I love fantasy,

but I think those ones are leaning a little bit more female-centric, and I think that just, like, me being a boy, I was like, I don't know if I care about this so much. But that's interesting, though, because I loved Fourth Wing, and Fourth Wing is definitely female driven. So I don't know if that's a really good, it's a good excuse.

I just fell off. I'm sorry, I did. I did know about that 50 Cent show. We have some buddies that were on it. And, yeah, it's a great show. 50 Cent just kicks ass. All right, this next one is called audiobooks are reading. Okay, you know what?

I don't even need to listen to this because I know that this person sees me for who I am as a person and as a scholar, and I love them so much. Hey, guys, it's Sam. I'm from New York, and I know that this is an ongoing debate between Wells and Brandy. No, it's not. Whether or not listening to an audiobook qualifies as reading it or not. Yeah. And I would just like to defend the audiobook listeners.

Thank you. Because honestly, I forget who defends what, but I know that I have my English degree, and the only way I was able to get my English literature degree was by listening to all of the books that I was supposed to be reading. Nice. Then going back and taking from the physical book parts from the audiobook that stood out to me and that I needed for whatever paper I was writing, whatever point I was trying to make. But audiobooks, listening is reading. Yes. Love you both.

Bye. I agree, obviously. you said you forgot who thinks that audiobooks are reading. That should be simple. That's me. Not Brandy. Brandy does not believe that it's reading and she just calls it listening. As a English minor myself, I agree with you.

The only way that I would have been able to finish my degree was with audiobooks. Because your boy is dyslexic and it's hard for him to pay attention in reading. But boy, oh boy, can I just like focus in on a audiobook? No problem. You know, we all learn different. different people, but we're all people nonetheless. That's what I found out. Except for the people that say that audiobooks aren't reading,

you're not people, your evil demons that are mean to us, non-readers. And that's where I'll end it. Oh, man, oh man. So when you guys are listening to this, I'll be in Orlando. I'm going to be playing in a golf tournament.

With the LPGA Greats, a place called Lake Nona in Orlando, or maybe it's like a suburb of Orlando called Lake Nona. Anyways, I don't really, the golf course is also called like Lake Nona Country Club. And so it's a bunch of LPGA players. Then they're playing it for, it's basically like their Super Bowl. It's like the end of the season and it's all the money.

It's all the winners play against each other. Anyways, you know what I'm talking about. So they're playing for like millions and millions of dollars. and there's a bunch of celebrities there and we're playing for well just pride effectively and like a little bit of scratch if you're an LPGA fan Brooke Henderson will be there

Charlie Hull will be there Lydia Coe will be there Nelly Cordoa will be there Jennifer Cupcho will be there Patty Tabaniquette will be there Rose Yang will be there Lottie Wode will be there so like the biggest names in LPGA will be there

so you should just go see it for those ladies because watching them play golf is insane They're so good. And then for the celebrities that'll be there, I mean, I use that word very loosely because I'm involved, but I'll be there. Marcus Allen, pro football guy, Ray Allen, NBA champion.

But anyways, it's Thursday through Sunday at Lake Nona, Google, Hilton Grand Vacations, tournament of champions, and buy some tickets, come hang out with us. And you can come meet all of us. Well, probably, Ben, Joey and I will probably all play together.

I'd love to see you guys. And, you know, they'll probably make me like make drinks or something. So maybe I'll make you a drink. Yeah, if nothing else, let's walk around a golf course with like a high noon. Sounds like heaven. Especially when you're Brandy who's living in. a polar vortex where she's running a generator to keep water from freezing so her animals can drink water. Meanwhile, 70 degrees here in Los Angeles, blue sky is absolutely gorgeous. Why have tears?

I love you very much. I'm sorry that we kind of put you through a solo episode from me, but we did it. We made it. And we'll see you all again next week. Okay, bye.
