Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - When the Rapture Cleans Your FYP

Episode Date: September 24, 2025

This week, Wells is ready to declare war on the internet—or at least the dumbest corners of it. Flat-earthers, alien whisperers, and fu-manchu mustaches: you’re all in the firing line. But here’s the serious question—if the rapture did happen, would it take the dumdum 2% and clean up Wells’ TikTok feed at the same time? Wow, I mean a show can dream. Meanwhile, Brandi calls in from her latest Midwest pit stop in Bozeman, Montana, where the summers are perfect and the Italian food is bellissimo! Somehow she’s done the whole trip without a stereo though, which makes Wells’ brain fully short-circuit. Add in some thoughts on fly-killing salt guns, undying love for Cuties and Babybels, and a Fave Things list longer than a Baldoni/Lively lawsuit filing—and you’re in for a good ride this week YFT’ers.

that I watch the internet, the more that I hate society. Does anyone else do that way? You ever look at this and you're like, why are we allowing the dumbest people to be able to infiltrate like my algorithm? You know, it used to be that when there was just someone that was dumb talking, you could just be like, okay, and then just go away from it. But now you're getting bombarded on social media with people who are so dumb. And you shouldn't be talking. You shouldn't be talking, okay? And I know that this is stereotyping, but the second I see your facial hair, I know if your take on whether the earth is round or flat, I know what it's going to be.

Once I see your facial hair, I can tell you, okay, this guy's made a lot of bad decisions in his life, one of which includes this fu-man shoe, all right? You've made a lot of bad decisions in your life with something like. grooming your body okay and the second that you made that bad decision I knew all the other decisions were going to be terrible like thinking that you're smarter than scientists because you're not all right you got a goatee there has never been a smart there has never been a professor of anything that rocks a goatee okay The second I see that goatee,

just shut the fuck up, but didn't I ask for the dumb opinion that came out of your ass, just shut the fuck up. Now, no offense to people with goatees, or like everyone in middle America. You know, social media should be a privilege, not a right. And I don't know if you deserve the privilege of talking to millions of people about something that you watched a YouTube video about, and now you think you know what you're talking about. And I stand by this old sentiment,

which is truly knowledgeable people know that they don't know everything. And if you come into a conversation where you're like, really, you think the earth is round? Oh my God. Dude, what do you think we're doing with satellites? What do you think? You think we're just wasting money, shooting nothing up into the... Anyways, I've got a lot to talk.

You've got lots to talk about. I made a TikTok last night. night about just like how dumb the world is. And maybe I'm dumb because it's coming on my for you page. But we have to talk about flat earthers because I'm getting a lot of it. I don't really understand why. Literally holding a device that is using satellites to communicate with one another, watching videos of people being like, the Earth is flat and there's the firmerment.

You can't. Shut up, dude. Shut the. And then, well, this is going to come out the day after, but the rapture's coming. And then, and then lastly, the 3I.A. Atlas interstellar object that is ripping through our solar system and doing things that only an alien could do. Stop it, dude. Stop it. Not an alien. They're not coming for you. All right? It's not happening. I need to move to a place where everyone isn't just Saddam. Where is this place? Where does this place exist? Please.

Send me there. But we can't, unfortunately, so we will go to the island of YFT. Let's color up. It's time now. Ranny thinks the rapture's happening. Hello. Where are you at? I'm in Bozeman, Montana.

Bozeman. I used to have a friend who lived in Bozeman. Really? They no longer do? I think they moved, but I used to go pheasant hunting in Plennywood, which is north East Montana, so we'd fly into Bozeman and drive over there. That's sick. I wonder why he doesn't live here anymore.

I don't know. I mean, maybe he does. I wonder if it's because the winters are hard. Probably. How are these summers? Fucking perfect. Like, when you're here in the summer, it's like I could live here. You know what I mean?

Like, I'm sure everybody thinks that. So I came up from Jackson Hole and we went through Red Lodge, Montana. Have you ever been to Red Lodge? No. Very cute town. Very cool. We went through Red Lodge, did some horseback riding in the mountains there, and then drove over through Livingston. Have you been to Livingston?

No. You would love Livingston. Why? It's like it takes you back in time. Like it's like, you know, it's like an old western town. Like all the buildings are so old. All the original signs on the main street. It's just like it's slow.

It's chill. The mountains are behind you. Like it's just the cutest little town. A lot of music in that area, like live music gone like different places. and it's just sick. I just love it. So we went through Livingston for a couple days and then drove west to Bozeman

and we're here for a couple days. And the weather's just been absolutely fucking perfect. And it makes you think, like, I could live here. And then you remember that it starts snowing in like a week and doesn't stop until June. I don't know, man. If we keep this climate change up, dude, it ain't never going to snow up there.

That's true. I mean, it's like 90 degrees in Los Angeles and it's like late September. Yeah, it's still that hot at home in Nashville too. Yeah. A little scary. It is what it is. So, okay, can I just say what I think this sounds like to me?

Tell me. This sounds like a scouting trip for a move. It could be. Yeah. I really, I don't see myself leaving Nashville anytime soon, but later on when I'm not working so much and traveling every weekend, I would like to be out this way. But I will always have a home in Nashville.

Like, I will always go back and forth, I think. I mean, so many of my horses are there and they're, like, a couple of them are older, like, retired. I don't really see myself, like, uprooting them and moving them across the country. So they'll always stay those ones. But, yeah, it would be so sick to have, like, a house out, out, like, in the mountains, like a mountain home, you know, and that you go to, like, maybe a couple months in the summer. Maybe you spend Christmas there. Like, I don't know. Yeah.

Maybe you're rented out. Apparently having an Airbnb is the biggest fucking tax strategy you can have, like, everyone's. In where? In Montana? Anywhere. Like if you have an Airbnb, you get so many tax breaks. Yeah, but you can't do it in Nashville. I tried to do it and they came in like, I didn't get the right permitting and they came and knocked my door down and they started threatening me and stuff.

So they've, they start because everyone's trying to do it. They're making rules now at different places like only so many Airbnbs per fucking zip code or whatever. So yeah, you have to be, I think you'd be more strategic about it now. Like if you're going to do that, I think you have to buy something in an area where you can do that. I don't think you can just buy any house and be like, oh, Airbnb, be it. You know, I mean, you know, we've been asking around that question. In Colorado, they're much more strict about short-term rentals here. They're strict as well, but you can do long-term rentals, which are 30 days plus, not as strict, probably similar tax breaks.

I don't know, looking into all of it. Well, good luck. Work smarter, not harder, you know what I'm saying? I get it, you know? I've got a fly infestation happening at my house, one of my little things. I don't know. You have trash laying around? I can't, for the life of me, figure out where they're coming from.

Sarah thinks they're coming from the sink, but I've plugged up the sink. That's not it. Like, up through the sink? We were like, where could they be coming from? There's no doors open. There's no windows open. Like, how are you getting into this house? I don't understand it, but every day, I go on a hunt.

I go on, I'm just constantly going on a hunt. And if any wife tears know or think they know, like, what's going on. I mean, I have like a poop trash can, but it's outside of the house for the dog poop. But I don't know how that gets in the house. Are flies like mice where they can just squeeze in through anywhere? I don't know. They're like they're maggots, right? I don't think anything's dead in the house.

It's like creating flies. One of my favorite things, though. I've talked about it before, but we need to just give a shout out to it. I have this fly salt gun. You put salt in it and then you shoot flies with it. Okay. I am decimating this fly population. I am so good at this thing at this point now. I am fucking... Does it shoot out salt? Yeah. And it kills flies. Dude, it explodes. If you get close enough to it, it explodes them. I'm Annie Oakley over here. Okay?

Annie Smokley, dude, I'm below it. So what you got to do, though. So at first, you think you can be far away from it. You know, a couple of feet from it. That's not going to do it. Not so much. It'd be right up on them. You get right up on there. A couple inches from it. Boom. Explosion. Just fly explosion. I mean, I... So does salt go everywhere around the house?

Yes. The cleaning ladies be like, what is going on here? And then it's like, listen, we've got a fly infestation. And it's like a lot of salt down there. What about like the zapper paddle? Does that not do it for you?

So that's what Sarah utilizes. And it's too hard to get them. Like, it's much easier just to shoot them than it is to like, I also, the other day, I swung really hard and it flew out of my hand and it went into the cabinet. Oh, my God. Anyways, salt gun. Favorite thing. Get it.

Do you have one? I do not, but it sounds like something Matt would like. Any guy, I walk around. I'm hunting constantly, you know? Like I'm in Fallujah, just like ready for an incursion, dude. Hilarious. Just ready to go. I don't know what to tell you.

My mother frequently has fly infestations at her house But she leaves the doors open 24-7 So that's how they get in But I will ask her what tricks she has About getting rid of them Because I know it's definitely a thing at her house I mean I think it's the heat Because they're not really around in the morning

And then like when it gets in the afternoon That's when they get in I just don't know where they're coming from Do they want a little bit of AC But what they're going to get is some salt in the fucking grill Oh shit Brandy I'm trying to be healthier Did you know that? You've been talking about it.

I have started to work out more. I'm not sure if you can tell my complexion, but I feel, and I feel a little bit healthier. And I attribute a lot of that to balance of nature. They make supplements that are absolutely fantastic. The vitamins and minerals that naturally occur in whole foods are also present in their supplements.

Before we start the show, I made a TikTok last night because my 4-U page. I saw it. You saw it. Okay, good. Good. It infiltrated your 4-U page as well. Oh, yeah. And I'm not on TikTok every day, but I got on there last night.

There you were. Okay, so I don't know what's happening with my 4-U page. And I got to be honest with you, this is obviously a lot about me. And I know how it happens. But anyways, my 4-U page is nothing but people talking about the rapture, which is going to to happen this comes out on Wednesday it's going to be happening yesterday so if you're alive and listening to this podcast today guess what didn't happen never was going to happen you fucking egocentric maniac that you think the world's going to end when you're alive okay I get a lot

of the rapture shit and these dumb fucks are like trying to figure out what to do with their stuff they're like I should get my money away who's going to take the house give it to me you idiot you stupid oh my god so much of that and i just i'm like next i know what it is it's like i have to watch these people i see these people on my phone i have to look at the comments like i have to see what people are saying and also i was talking about this with the wife of tears before i can tell what you're going to talk to me about by your facial hair okay or like just just general grooming and yeah am i stereotyping you yes i am okay but if you got a goatee whatever your take is bud it's a bad one okay goatee immediately maybe got your gED that's what goatee means sorry

i'm sorry dude so many dads out there are angry about what i just said it's so many if you have a if you have a goatee maybe you went to college but you went to like western kentucky okay yeah yeah that's i i looked at that school in high school okay so so anyways i got so much people on rapture talk. And I just can't wait. Okay, a couple of things. How fucking dope would it be if the rapture was real? And it took all these crazy evangelical Christians away from us forever. Maybe that's, that would make me believe in God if he was like, I got to get all these fucking idiots out of here for you. I got to get them out of here. They're dumbing down. They are dumbing down the population. Okay. If that happens, I will be the first to get down on

knees and praise my lord and saviour jesus christ for getting rid of all these idiots we're offending so many people i don't care it's true do you know why it's true because if it's if you're listening to this today it means that yesterday didn't happen okay 100% true okay the other thing i'm getting is so much flat earth and it's the same thing i see the flat earth thing and it makes me so angry because it's always some guy talk and then i have to look at the comments and i want to write like i want to write like dude you've got a smooth brain like this is why no one takes us seriously like there's no way that you passed any subject in high school you know like there's no way but what's what gets me brandy is they say it was such conviction like they're the

smartest guy in the room you're an idiot dude do you know how i know you're the guy who i bought weed from in fucking sophomore year high school and you were dumb then you were so stupid then and you're still stupid but now you have this thing that makes it so you can talk to all these people

me included and it makes me so angry okay the irony of it all Brandy is that they're holding a fucking device that uses satellites it uses the thing

that they think doesn't exist because of the farmerment I have a theory that Flat earthers, none of them actually believe that the earth is flat, but they just love to rile people up. Well, they're doing a great job.

And they're doing a great job. And it's like, the more we give them this attention, the more they want to go in on this theory because they know it's going to piss people off. But like deep down, they know it's not true. That's my theory. I've talked about this before. I want to do a reality show where we get flat earthers and we put them up in a fucking balloon or we send them to space.

Like, this is what Jeff Bezos and what Elon must should be doing with their mind. Because they should be saying... Yeah, but see, then the flat earthers who don't really believe it are getting a fucking free trip to space. That's not fair. I want to go. I know. Maybe you start talking about how you think it's flat, though.

And then the last thing that I'm seeing a lot of is people who pretend that they are interdimensional communicators with aliens. Dude, you're not. You're not. You might be schizophrenic and you're talking to people, but you're not talking to aliens. You know, my brother is one of these people. We got to get around the show immediately. He thinks he's talking to aliens?

He does. Tell me more. I had, God bless. I had to mute him on Instagram because I can't watch it anymore. Oh, my God. God bless him. Okay, we probably should cut that part. But we should get him on.

I just will preface and say it will probably be an episode you have to heavily edit. So just be prepared for that. Okay. Fine. Great. But, but yeah, he, I haven't talked to him about it in a hot minute. But for a minute there, he was posting on Instagram about how he was able to call the UFOs to appear outside his window.

How does he do it? Telepathically, apparently. No, he doesn't. Apparently anyone can do it. He told me that if I wanted to learn, he'd be happy to show me and that anyone has the power to call the UFOs,

talk to the aliens. Yeah, we should have him on. Amazing. I bet. I bet he would love to talk about that. Which brother is it? Trace. Yeah, okay.

Got a lot of Trace is showing up in my 4U page, and these guys think that they are communing with aliens. They're not. That's not happening. I just know it's not. And the reason why I know it's not is because it's not. Anyways, so.

So anyways, it's a lot of people talking about this AI Atlas or 3 AI Atlas, which is this interstellar object that's like flying through our solar system. And it's like not doing normal things like an asteroid would do. And people think it's an alien ship and shit. And they think it's coming forth. Dude, it's not. You know what's funny is that these are the same things. Not the flatter thing.

The rapture and the thinking that the alien ship is this giant rock tumbling through space. It's the same exact thing. It's just like packaged differently. It's a bunch of people that think that like aliens are coming to save you or coming here and to get you or whatever. And then it's a bunch of people thinking that angels and gods are coming. But also those could be the same thing. Because if you think about it, if God does exist, which I believe in some sort of higher power or whatever, I don't think he's from this planet, right?

Like, do you think that God's from this planet? Definitely not. No, he's from like all the planets, right? Or all the solar system. And he's like the universe or they are the universe, right? Which ipsofaxo makes you an alien because you're not from here. Right? True.

So they're the same thing. Just need you to shut the fuck a because nobody asks you, bitch. I need you to shut the fuck a bitch. Anyways. That's all I go. on that it just riles me up which is why they do it i know i know they like to get that reaction out of people but you know what's even worse is that so i made that video of being like annoyed right like effectively i did exactly what i just did but i did it in like 37 seconds on the

ticot and like it's getting so much more engagement than like me on a television show talking about paradise of course and that what the fuck dude What is that? So now it's making me be a part of this thing that it's annoying me. I mean, you got to go where it's life's taking you, well. Yeah. Maybe this is where this is your new platform. Just yelling at people for being stupid.

Yeah. And having stupid facial hair. Yeah. So many, so many girls, girlfriends and wives, they're going to be like making their husbands drive down the street. And they're going to look over and the husband's going to have a goate and be like, What the fuck did I do to this guy? Here's what I think about the goatee. Is it, is it what people have when they want facial hair but can't grow a beard?

And they're just like, well, I guess I'll just settle for this. I don't know. And it's always, this is so rude, but it's always on someone who could stand to lose a couple pounds. You know, it's always on like a big face. I don't understand. You know what I'm saying. You know exactly what I'm saying. It's a fucking thing.

Yeah, I agree with you. It's like, dude, just let's do the whole thing, you know? Because a beard looks. But maybe they can't grow a whole beard. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know either. All I know is that like I was saying like, I don't know if a single, there's been a single scientist or like physicist or something that has had a goate.

Okay. You can have a mustache. Yep. You can have a, different. You can have a beard. You can't have mutton shot. and you can't have a goatee if you want to be in the sciences. And this is just a rule.

You ever seen a doctor with a goatee? No. Are doctors allowed to have facial hair? I guess they just cover it maybe. Yeah, of course. Of course they're allowed to have facial hair. I don't know. I mean, I don't know either.

I mean, my dad always kept his face shaved, shove it shorn. Uh-huh. We should start the show. We should. If anyone's still listening, we should start the show. They're not. They're not. Why don't you go for it?

Brows and hoes and flat earthers. You're listening to your favorite thing podcast with. Bels and Brandy, we love you. Goatee wearers. Not sure you do, but sure. I know a lot of YFTers have kids, which means we are inching closer to back to school time, which is a very stressful time for parents.

essentials for fall. They have things like 100% Mongolian cashmere from $50, which is an incredible price. They've got washable silk tops and skirts. They have denim and they even have a lot of really great home items right now. I bought some towels from Quince and I hadn't bought new towels for so long and they're such great quality. They come in these really nice big sizes. I'm such a big fan. I would say though my favorite piece I have from Quince is their 100% cotton boyfriend sweater. I have it in three colors. I just took it with me to Jackson Hole. I was so excited to be able to wear a sweater and I got so many compliments and it's such a nice piece of clothing that I got for such a great price.

Brad Pitt. No, shut up. Leonardo DiCaprio does kind of have a goatee. See, and I feel like he can't grow much facial hair. I think you're right. Yeah, another one, George Clooney does. And so does Brad Pitt. And so does Spock.

And so does. Surely these were for roles, though. Yeah, I don't know. And then you have like the people like Johnny Depp, but he's got more of like the mustache and then like the, you know, that's not really, that's not what I'm talking about when I talk about goatees. Yeah. We need a pick of like an example. Yeah. Like my uncle has one.

That's what I'm sure you're talking about. Guy Fieri is a good example. Oh, totally. Totally. I am, I like guy Fieri. But I immediately see that face with him and think, you probably think that rapture's coming tomorrow. Anyways, do you have any favorite things, bro?

Bro, I've got to be honest. I've been on a road trip. Yeah, you got nothing. Here and there, Matt and I have watched, we're still watching the Terminalist prequel. I think it's called like Dark Wolf or something. We've already talked about it a little bit. Yeah.

I think we're four episodes in. It gets better. It's less, I think episode one, they were just trying to set up, I don't know, the story for that is Taylor Kitch's character a little bit. It's gotten better. It's much more born identity vibes than it is like Lone Survivor vibes now getting into the show.

It's really good. Matt's obsessed with it. It's rare that he really likes the show and he really loves it. So that's something we're both watching that we're into. I don't think I've watched much else. So, you know, I've just been trying to enjoy the outdoors, you know? Yeah. unplug from devices get less screen time okay but you can have favorite things that don't have

to be like you're on a road trip so what are you some of your things on the road trip that's true I fucking love jackson hole everyone knows this that's probably my favorite part of the trip what's your favorite what's your favorite place to eat in jackson hall oh glorietta hands down okay tell me about gloriata i don't know what that is have you been to jackson hall yeah but it's been years. You haven't been to Gloriaetta? I just told you I haven't been to Gloriaita. It's iconic. I've only been to the million dollar man bar, million dollar bar. That place is sick. Gloriata is an Italian restaurant. It's attached to the Anvil Hotel. Okay. But it's like everybody loves Gloriaetta. That's super good. Really good

Italian food. Great drinks. Great atmosphere. If you want to go, you have to literally book a reservation months in advance. It books up like crazy. Okay. But that was probably my favorite meal we had. What kind of food is it? Italian. Okay. It's really good. Normally what I like to do, if I'm going to take a big trip, typically the way to do it is to stay in the shittiest place first and then work your way up to staying in the nicer place. If you start in the luxury hotel and then go down to camping from there, it's usually not as great. You know what I mean? You want to work your way up usually. So that would be my pro tip for traveling like if you're going to splurge for a couple just a couple nights do it at the end of the trip um we did it backwards we stayed in the nicest fucking hotel in jackson and which was the beginning of

the trip and it's called it's called hotel yellowstone not in yellowstone though it's in jackson hall and it's fucking gorgeous it's like up on the mountain sick views gorgeous hotel phenomenal food their restaurant is called olivia's but you have to be staying at the hotel to eat there that's how they get you but it's very good and that was probably my favorite part of the trip which then we went glamping which i love i love under canvas we went glamping and livingston but started glamping and work your way up to five-star luxury hotel you know under canvas also isn't cheap no it's not it's not cheap and it's not cheap um and it's so nice but you're sleeping outside i mean we woke up and it was 42 degrees yeah you're fucking freezing you know what i mean yeah you got to get up and make the fire and

you're like it's so cold i don't want to do this i didn't do that matt did that yeah well yeah I'm the man. I had to do it too. Yeah. Don't go there on a girl's trip. No. No. And we just freeze to death.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Four of us did that. We went a couple years ago. Four girls and nobody, we just froze. Like nobody wanted to do the fire. Or get up. But yes, Under Canvas is so fun.

We did a couple nights there in Paradise Valley. I've been going to Under Canvas for a long time. Like I think my first under Canvas stay was in like 2018 or something. and they've made some sick improvements. Like, I feel like the first time I stayed there, they didn't have any food on site. And now they have their own restaurant, like there. They make phenomenal food.

I had the best salmon. And you're just, like, sitting on the side of the river, having this gorgeous meal. The stars were incredible. We got so lucky with a clear night. So if you, like, want to go camping, but want a hot shower, a toilet, and a comfy bed, highly recommend under canvas because you get the best of both.

I want an under canvas yurt that has an electric heater. I don't, I, no. Why not? Well, because then you're basically, you have to do something. You have to put in some work. I don't have to do anything. You know, a little work. If I'm paying that much money, if I made that much money, I want, okay, that I want a fucking fire boy.

Fireboy, come make my fire, which they actually, they do have that. They have people that will come help you. Well, I have my own fireboy. Yeah. So I'm good. No, I love it there. It's a phenomenal coffee, which is very important to me. We got to talk about that in a second.

Very important to me. Anyway, so, yeah, Jacksonville, Red Lodge. We didn't, I don't think we ate in Red Lodge, but it's the cutest fucking town. I had the best ice cream of the whole trip at the pizza place on Main Street in Red Lodge. It was so fucking good. And then we went on the sickest horseback ride into the mountains. I bet a lot of people respond to my stories about that. Be like, how can I do this?

Anyone can do it. You just got to pay for it. The company is called Yellowstone Horse and Mule. And my friend Summer, who used to work for me, works for them and leads their trail rides. And they do pack trips where you can go overnight. They do hunting camps where if you have a tag to go hunt, they'll take you in, they'll help you pack out. But we just did a day ride. We started at 9 a.m. Road until 6. Stopped for lunch. Let the horses have a break. Matt went for a swim. Absolutely gorgeous. 12 out of 10 recommend definitely the highlight of the trip. And even if you If you're not, like, super experienced on horses, they've, their horses, like, they do this every day. Like, they totally know what they're doing. All the horses were solid. And I don't think you need to have a ton of experience to do it. I just think you need to not be afraid to ride. Like, if you're scared of horses or, like, feel unsafe in the saddle, like, I wouldn't go. But if you're confident enough, you know, to sit on one, I think anyone could do it. You and Sarah would love it, honestly. Very cool. And I had never been in the Beartooth Mountains. It's stunning. Just as pretty as the Teton's, honestly.

Drived up to Livingston, another Italian spot. Campione, I think it was called, on Main Street. It's so fucking good. I love Italian food. I'm a big pesto pasta girlie, stated under canvas that night. And now we're in Bozeman. I love Bozeman. It's like in town, the town is just a town.

But they have cool shit. They have great restaurants, good shopping. But it's kind of like you can go do so many things from Bozeman. You can hike. You can horseback ride. In the winter, you can ski. You can go hunting. You can shoot guns.

You can go to the Yellowstone. you can like the park's not far you can do so many things and so we're based here for the next three days and we're staying at the cutest fucking hotel it's called field and stream lodge you could tell it was like an old probably shitty motel at one point and they've completely redone it and it's so fucking cute everything's brand new they've done such a good job of making it feel like lodgy and cabbony without it being like over the top and it's super affordable I think the room was like maybe 160 or 180 a night for a king room like not bad the cutest bar attached to the hotel we had breakfast there this morning and then they've also got like a really cool like I think

it's a casino in here but a lot of pool tables and darts and like stuff like that it would be such a fun place they have a pool hot tub sick place to bring like a group of friends you know what I mean like if we had like a bunch of couple friends here or something and everybody stayed and then they just have all these different areas to hang out it's that would be super fun maybe I'll do that next time but love this hotel um i think it's so cool and yeah and then after that we had home are you guys listening to like a book on tape when you ride believe it or not okay so we're in matt's old truck you know the 79 whatever yeah everything's brand new in there except the sound system we have driven in silence this entire time okay so brandy you do know that bluetooth speakers exist

right we don't have one of those okay but you're you're definitely driving past stores that have them. Yeah, we've done the whole trip with that one. Is that insane? Yeah. Honestly, honestly, that concerns me so much. That is a huge red flag.

Along the way, like, especially in the beginning, I was like, I was thinking like, this is going to fucking suck. Like, I, I'm, but I also haven't been driving. But when I'm driving, I love, like, especially on a road trip, like the music is crucial. The playlist are crucial. You, like, set

tone for where you're at based on the music you're going to let's do and so I was worried about it I was like fuck I was like I'm literally he would be so mad but I was literally thinking I'm gonna put on my headphones and just listen to me yeah somehow we have made it all this way you just sitting there talking like like a bunch of psychopaths talking about your feelings we don't talk about our feelings really we just talk or we just sit in silence or you just talk or not talk and just watch the world go by pretty fucking crazy that we've made it that far I really thought it would be a huge problem, but it's really kind of been fine. Well, the reason why I bring it up, because I have a book that I think would be perfect for this road trip.

Oh, well, I would just read it. I can read in the car. I have no problem. Yeah, I know, but then he's bored. Well, that's his problem. He won't let me drive. He could let me drive. Why not?

The only time I get to drive is if he needs a nap. Yeah, okay. Otherwise, he wants to drive, which I love to drive, but I also, I could go to. their way. Okay. So the book that I'm reading is called The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. Have you heard about the Buffalo Hunter Hunter Hunter? No. My sister told me about the Buffalo Hunter Hunter. The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. It exists. It's the real thing. Horror novel. Yeah. A diary written in

1912 by a Lutheran pastor is discovered within a wall. What it unveils is a slow massacre, a chain of events that go back to 217 Blackfeet dead in the snow, told and transcribed interviews by a Blackfoot named Goodstab, who shares the narrative of his peculiar life over a series of confessional visits. This is an American Indian revenge story written by one of the new masters of horror, Stephen Graham Jones, the Buffalo Hunter Hunter. It's very fun. Is it? How gory is it? I mean, it's a book, so it's like it is gory i'll tell i'll tell you what the twist is you find no no okay don't ruin it for everyone okay

i won't it's fun it's just like what the twist is is like the thing that you're not expecting to get in this but it's a it's straight up it's a western it's about so is it is any of it true like no it's just it's written like it was true ah i see but really really fun and it's just straight up like western it's all the the main character is this indian named um or native American named One Stab, and he's basically going to confession effectively, like talking to this Lutheran priest, confessing of all his sins and stuff, and it's wild. Very fun. Okay.

Check it out. That sounds good. Probably they'll make it a movie or some shit. I could see them definitely making this movie, or, I mean, it could be a limited series. Speaking of limited series, have you started Black Rabbit? No, what is that? Jason Bateman's and Jude Law's new Netflix flick or limited series. Okay.

You know, a lot of people are comparing it to Ozark and I, just because that's Jason Bateman and he's directing it, but it's not like that at all, but it is like that and the fact that it's like really dark. Okay. When the owner of a New York City hotspot allows his turbulent brother back into his life, he opens the door to escalating dangers that threaten to bring down everything he's built. Jude Law, Jason Bateman in Black Rabbit. Jude Law, he owns a restaurant and bar called the Black Rabbit, New York.

It's very popular. And his brother, Jason Bateman, is a deadbeat. He owes Buckey's money. He is, you know, he's just a deadbeat junkie piece of garbage. And he kind of like runs out of options and goes back to. see his brother to get some help and get some money and then just become bad stuff follow him around i'm only a couple episodes in but the entire thing's on netflix it's good it's very dark though like i feel like ozark was dark but like not really dark this one's like pretty dark but anyways violent

dark or no it's a lot of like substance abuse it's a lot of like just owing money gangsters after him so it's just like it's heavy you know it's baitman and jude law like it's way it's it's like too big to type of the thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I loved you a lot. I did too. He's very good in this, too. You got to think that, like, it's going to flip.

That, like, he's the good guy, but at some point he's got to turn back. You know, I don't know. It's something like that's going to happen. The other thing that I've been watching that I talked about, maybe like a year ago, but like I fell off of it, the foundation. Oh, yeah. I remember you talking about this. This is Apple?

Apple Plus, yes. A complex saga of humans scattered on planets throughout the galaxy, all living under the rule. of the Galactic Empire Foundation. It's cool. So it starts with this guy named Dr. Selden, who he's living in, he's living on like kind of like a perfect world,

a very peaceful world that's ruled by these kings who are just cloning themselves. So there's like Brother Dawn, brother afternoon, brother dusk and whatever. And so they're all just clones of one another. so when one dies and the next one becomes like the main emperor and then it's just it's just the same guy over and over again and this guy Dr. Selden he is a mathematician and he starts using math to be able to basically tell the future using probabilities and algorithms and stuff

to like figure out what probably will happen and he says like you know we're about to the empire is about to crumble and we're going to go and do like a couple thousand years of like dark ages unless things change and then everyone's calling them a heretic. want him dead. And then there's this girl who's on like an outlying planet who's a prodigy and mathematician. And she solves his proof and kind of like conflicts the math being like, that's not true. That's not what's going to happen. So they bring her to the main planet. And then she starts to look at the math and she's like, fuck, I think it's right. You know, so then they both get exiled into like this like outer reach planet. But everything starts to happen the way he said it was going to

happen. And so then it's like the galactic empire kind of crumbling. And then all these people living. on this outer world that they've been cast to and then on this outer world there's like a weird thing that's happening there's like this kind of like spaceship thing that's just like floating and no one can get close to it

and if they try to get close to it they get really dizzy and then they pass out and then all of a sudden like people start coming to like we're not really sure like take over it's just like Star Wars kind of you know

yeah but it's fun if you like sci-fi yeah does sound good I didn't get like far enough in the first time to like understand Because, like, that whole, like, math thing happens 100 years beforehand. I see. Or like 50 years beforehand. Okay.

Anyways, check out. I mean, Apple makes great shows. I know. I agree. They do a great job. Speaking of, new season of the morning show just dropped. Oh, you're going to watch it? Hell yeah.

I fucking love that show. So I'll be watching that. I think it's the last season of it, I want to say. Do you ever get into that show? No. I know. It's good. Stop for me.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Do you ever watch Platonic? No. With Roseburn and Seth Rogen. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or they're just friends, but no one kind of believes them that they're just friends. Yes, yeah. Exactly.

So they just dropped a second season a few weeks ago. I haven't started it yet. But I did really like that show. It's a good easy watch. Like you can put it on while you're doing something else. If you have nothing to watch, give it a shot. I like both of those actors a lot. If you're into who done it, some murder mysteries.

I've got a good one for you. I kind of talked about it last week. It's on Netflix called The Thursday Murder Club. Yeah. It's very fun. The cast is amazing. Four irrepressible retirees spend their time solving cold case murders for fun. But their casual sleuthing takes a thrilling turn when they find themselves with a real who'd done it on their hands.

The Thursday Murder Club starring Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, and others. Directed by Christopher Columbus. Big fan of Christopher Columbus. He kind of famously did a lot of the Harry Potter's. He did Home Alone. It's very fun if you like Murder Mysteries. Yeah.

Which I don't know if you do or not, but... I do. Yeah. Have you started watching Task yet? I have not. I think that Manna liked that show. I think that you guys are going to watch that one. And I think that we can talk about it.

Well, we're about to go home for an entire month. So we will be needing things to watch. All right. We'll watch that one. And then Black Rabbit, too, I think. Yeah, that one, I think, sounds like I'll like that. I wonder if you ever watched it as Ark, surely. Ooh, if not, that'd be a fun rewatch.

I would. Last thing I've got. Okay. I want to end on a positive note. Because I did kind of go heavy in the paint on some evangelical Christians in the beginning of the show. You did probably piss some people on. Wait, hold on.

Do you, you were very religious at one point in your life. Do you believe in the rapture? No. Okay. No, because without getting too crazy. Yeah. I just think the Bible is just so abstract. I think it's all symbolical and I just don't think any of it's literal.

Yeah. And so to me to take all that literally, just isn't it? I think the big problem with the Bible is that people are worshipping a man and not the man's teachings. And I think that's the problem. That is also the problem. Because I think that everything that Jesus stood for was amazing. We should all try to be like that. But like, I feel like no one who like is super religious does those things.

Sure. I watch the news and I'm like, oh, you guys are crazy. Jesus would be like, guys, what are you doing? I know. The last thing I want to end with, can I just get a shout out for fucking cuties? I love cuties. All right. The little oranges.

Yes. Okay. Yeah, not like, I mean, I like cuties. You know, my wife's a cutie, but. Right. Yeah. I feel like a child when I, buy them at the grocery store. But they are so delicious. They are so satisfying to unravel

because they're always overripe, you know, so like their rinds just kind of come off, you know. There's just something so satisfying. You know the two things that I love the most? Do tell. Cudies and Baby Bell. I love Baby Bell. They're both the exact same thing. I get that. It's a fun thing to take the thing off of. And then inside. of it is delicious. True. Speaking of cheese, we have had some fantastic cheese curds on this trip. Ooh, big curd guy.

They're just at all the gas stations, you get this like straight from Wisconsin cheese curds. Nothing says, so good. Nothing says diarrhea like cheese curds from a gas station. Really? Because if anything, I feel like I wish I was maybe pooping a little more on this trip. but I've eaten a lot of cheese curds. Well, cheese is binding. That's why.

So it doesn't cause diarrhea. No, it's the opposite. It's binding. Right. That's why you're consubing. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You said cheese curds and give you diarrhea.

No. I think I was just saying, like, I don't know if I trust gas station cheese. No, it's like from the factory in Wisconsin. It's like nice ass cheese. I need you to take a picture of the next one you see, and then I'll be the judges. this. Okay. All right. And then can you please, for the love of Christ, get a Bluetooth speaker. Well, the trip's over. This is the last stop. Yeah, but you have to drive home, right? No, no, no. We're flying from Bozeman. What are you doing with the car? Shipping that bad boy.

You telling me you drove all this way not to get back? No, the car started in L.A. Okay. Car started in L.A. Matt drove it to Boise. Stayed there for two weeks, did his motorcycle stuff, left the car there, flew back to L.A. We went to a wedding, and then we flew together back to Boise, picked up the truck, drove. I know, but you've gotten it this far. I'm not driving to Nashville from here. Because there's no radio.

That's two days in the car with nothing. Well, you can get a radio. Well, that would not help the fact that I'm sitting in a car for 48 straight hours. I volunteered to fly home and let Matt drive the car home. Oh, you. And he didn't want to do that either. So shipping it, we agreed it. And that way you're not putting the miles on it.

I don't know. Yeah, I understand that part. But it's got to be expensive to ship the car. It's not cheap. But that truck also gets 10 miles to the gallons. So the gas isn't cheap either. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Enjoy the end of your trip.

Thanks. I just hope that people got to listen to this episode today and weren't taken by dad. Or do you sort of wish that they do get taken? Okay, yeah, that's what I was saying before. Like, how awesome would that be if all those crazy people are gone? Yeah. That will be so fun.

I mean, like, what are we doing for the part? Like, what happens? Like, who's bringing the fun shit? Who's bringing the booze? Who's bringing the drugs to the party? Yeah. Wasn't there a show where this happened? What fucking show is that?

It was with Justin Thoreau. Yeah, the leftovers. The leftovers. Great show. Mm-hmm. Very good show. Good book, too. I read that book.

That's what I'm picturing. It was just, ooh, they're all gone. 2%. The people gone? And like the most annoying 2%. Pretty good. That's heaven right there Yeah

That's what I think heaven is It's a place where a bunch of crazy people aren't Just cool people Just chilling hanging Just cool people No goodies None zero All right, we have tears

Please Don't hate us No actually I stand 10 toes down What I said I know you do I do So I already know what I'm going to do

tomorrow, I'm going to make another TikTok being like, what the fuck happened, guys? Oh, yeah. Yep. What the fuck is happening here? All right. See you later. Love you guys. Bye.
