Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Why Have Apple Pie When You Can Have Funfetti Cake?

Episode Date: March 31, 2021

This week on YFT, Wells rings in from quarantine to give us the content we deserve. He argues with Brand-eye a bit over pie vs cake, and then they discuss the great burger debate and how it’s dumb because it’s just based on where you grew up. Brandi stands by her statement that sparkling water isn’t hydrating, even though, as Wells points its out, the water is still wet. He then takes us through his eclectic packing list and all that he made it through the airport with, while Brandi got her PB confiscated from her. Suh rude. We cover Operation Varsity Blues and how dumb so many things are in that whole situation, and on a completely separate note, Wells gives us a passionate synopsis of Soul. Brandi and Wells each get a few brief moments to discuss Grey's and The Challenge. Lastly, we learn what song Wells would like to have played when Brandi carries his casket to the grave.

Traveling right now and I'm traveling. I'm now a guy that travels with a blood pressure monitor. TSA must have been like, hey Gramps, I'm like an old fucking dude now. I'm just dying and it just is what it is. I mean, we're all dying, but like I'm a little closer than you are, you know? Let's call the brand.

Hello? What are you drinking on? Okay, so it's hemp infused sparkling water. Oh, someone sent me this before. Oh, did you like it? And I did not. Oh, so I tried one flavor that I did not like, but this one got tasty.

Yeah, you're into it? Yeah, it's called Lemon Rhubarb. Rhubarb, I'm sure. Rhubarb. Sorry, extra B. Pretty good. You're from the South. You never had a rhubarb pie not a big pie guy

you know a pie guy no who isn't a pie guy i don't have cake i guess right like cake over pie any day i don't know man i'm like a good apple pie with some ice cream on it some ice cream i mean that shit slaps son it's fine but you know what i don't like i don't like pecan pie ew and i hate pumpkin pie ew what pie do you like apples like the best i would say and it's just fine though like why have apple pie when you could have funfetti cake am i right yeah but i feel like apple pie is a little healthier. Is it though, really? Yeah, I don't know. I don't think it's that big of a difference.

Yeah, you're right. I don't know. Something about apple pie just... Speaking of favorite things in pies, in Los Angeles is a place called Apple Pan. Have you ever been there? No. Fuck, dude.

It's been around forever. My mom used to go there in high school. The same dude still worked there. I mean, they serve pies or whatever, but they got a hickory burger there that'll fucking knock your socks off, son. Go. What?

It's right by the West Side Pavilion. Everyone out there in YFT land, if you have a chance to go to Los Angeles, go to the Apple Pan. It'll blow your balls off. So they have pies and burgers. I think they were originally famous for the pie situation, but then the burger thing really took over,

and I've honestly had one slice of pie there, but I've had the Hickory Burger ad nauseam, and it's delicious. Very interesting. I would say it's a better burger than an in and out burger or a five guys burger love five guys water burger or also i'm so sick of the debate of like who's got the better burger you know it's like it's where the fuck you grew up if you grew up in california of course you think that in and out burgers the best that's where you grew up but it's not that good.

They're all fucking good. But we're just talking about nostalgia now. I feel like In-N-Out's just fine. Fuck, dude. No way, man. It's amazing. It's not amazing. Yeah, they have the secret menu and shit and you feel like you're in some sort of club.

I have the same conversation with Sarah and she's like, fucking Shake Shack rocks my nuts off. And I'm like, you know what? the same conversation with sarah and she's like fucking shake shack rocks my nuts off and i'm like you know what you're not wrong shake shack is delicious but it's shake shack is is so specific to your life like i didn't grow up in new york we didn't have a shake shack but whatever and like say texas people in texas fucking a dude and you gotta say it weird fucking water burger is it made of water no it's what a burger you're saying wow what a burger this is but then texas you know what we're gonna make it fucking weird because we're texas and water burger no and you know what you grew up in texas fuck yeah dude that's the shit because it's where you grew up and you fucking mean something to you but you know what they're all delicious but i will say apple pan burgers the hickory burger that fucking slap son my pick out of all

those would be five guys five guys is coming in hot on my radar recently five guys i do feel like just ripped off the in and out aesthetic with aesthetic with the white and red. Oh, a thousand percent. Yeah. And so like that annoyed me. It was like, you're just fucking a copycat. Who's better? I don't know if they're better. Better.

It's also like, it's a greasier burger. It's like not as healthy. Same with Shake Shack. That's true. I do feel like the In-N-Out burger, it seems a little healthier. I could see that. But those Cajun fries though. I will give you that.

In-N-Out needs to have like a secret menu of just like cholesterol fries. little healthier. I could see that. But those Cajun fries though. I will give you that. In and out needs to have like a secret menu of just like cholesterol fries. You can also have the healthy fries, but then also make shitty, like bad for you fries because it's the one that's holding you back. And I guess they do have the cholesterol fries. It's called animal style. And that's just really just clogging them pores up. I don't even, I don't like that. The great bird of bay is Saddam because it's just whatever you grew up with. You know? You're right.

I know I'm right. I just want to say one thing and I need to go back and find it but I'm too lazy to do it. You are now lady soda water over here. You're just ripping down soda waters left and right. Okay?

And I'm so annoyed because early in the fucking genesis of this show, you would make fun of me and you would say that soda water isn't hydrating. Do you remember this? I do. And I stand by it, which is why I also have a glass of regular water to coincide with my sparkling water. You know how ridiculous this is

because you know what is it soda water one hydrogen and two oxygens and carbonation yes and carbon has been added into it but you're still have still wet the water is still wet and you're still getting the water in your body but i feel like the carbon cancels out the hydration can we get a fucking doctor on this show chemistry 101 yeah i feel like you failed that i actually was an ap cab and made an a the whole time but that's fine did you take a lot of ap classes um i did on like the math science side, but I could not hang on the English side. Like English lit, can't do that. Any type of like government history, can't do that. But I could hang with like the math and science stuff. I never took a single AP class. I wasn't trying

to do, I wasn't trying to be better than anybody else. Like this isn't a competition, guys. This is just, it totally is. And so I want to circle back around to it. Cause one of my favorite things is the new documentary about the college admission scandal. Sarah and I are, we're both sitting there watching it. And I was like, you know,

it's like these kids being like, I didn't get into Stanford. I did like every AP class. I did AP chemistry, AP physics, AP English, AP lit. And I'm like,

I didn't do a fucking single one of those. And Sarah was like, I didn't even fucking go to Lit. And I'm like, I didn't do a fucking single one of those. And Sarah's like, I didn't even fucking go to college. And I was like, look at us. I only went for one year. Yeah. Hey. I went to Ole Miss. And one of the reasons why I went there, I mean, yes,

I had a great journalism department. But one of the reasons I went there was because you didn't have to write an essay for the admissions thing i was like i gotta all i gotta do is just put my name on my social security and then they'll let me know fucking hey baby what sign me up yeah that's funny i guess we should start the show my thoughts exactly is it me or you? I think it's you. Bros and hoes. You're listening to Your Favorite Thing Podcast with... Wells and Brandy. You don't have a bell, do you? I don't, because your boy's traveling.

Where are you exactly? I don't know where I am. Yes, you do. I think I'm in New Mexico. Ah. where I am. Yes, you do. I think I'm in New Mexico. Have you seen outside of the four walls of your hotel room? I am quarantining right now, but I went...

I've been able to go on runs outside and... Albuquerque, when you think of New Mexico, you think hot desert. There's like snow on the mountains and it's cold and we're like at altitude we're like a mile high i'm like where am i that's pretty cool yeah it's cool you know traveling is just real weird um so i was flying out here and number one like the things that were in my

carry-on were so weird that TSA didn't even check. They didn't even care. Like what? I had to quarantine, you know, in a hotel room for a couple days before like I'm allowed to go outside and do stuff and go to work. So I bring things that I think will entertain me. Okay? Okay. So this is what I have in my carry-on i have a laptop an ipad i even have like a nintendo

is it switch whatever it's the new game boy that's normal shit and then of course i have all this recording equipment which is kind of a lot of stuff and then i have a collapsible putter so i can like putt in the hotel room, you know, like to do something, right? That's insane, but okay. And then also a blood pressure fucking monitor. So I'm sure the TSA guy's like, who the fuck is this guy? Is this guy 14? Or is this guy 4 million years old?

You know? Yeah. So they didn't even like check. They were just like, well. The golf ball thing broken down. It looks like a bunch of tubes and then these two balls. And I'm like,

that looks like what I would think a fucking bomb would look like. I don't know. Oh my gosh. I'm just saying, it looks all fucking weird, right? And then also a blood pressure monitor looks like something that

would detonate said thing right the fact that you have to travel with a blood pressure monitor wells it's not right it's not right the bp is high kid listen oh it's so sad like my bag looked so balmy and no one, they were just like, fucking go, dude, whatever. This guy's either going through puberty or he's about to die.

I don't want to, we don't even listen. We don't even know. We haven't seen anybody travel in a while. Just fucking go. You'll be fine. Meanwhile, they take my sealed peanut butter away from me.

Like, and I can't even, Oh man, I'm like, it'd be plastic explosive. Apparently it's a liquid, but I would argue that it's not so that ap chem didn't really uh help you out there did it the consistency of peanut butter is not liquid tell me i'm wrong yeah but it's not solid like would you say jam and jelly is a liquid or a solid I mean, I guess that's a gelatin. Yeah.

No, dude. I don't know either. There's like a layer of juice. Yeah. Peanut butter juice. What's that about, guys? Well, once you stir it, it's not. I know.

Peanut butter juice. I think it's oil, which is disgusting. All right, quick PSA for those of you out there who rent. If you haven't heard of Built, you're about to thank me.

What were your thoughts?

How on earth did this Photoshop make it through? Like, I just don't, like, clearly the colleges were also in on it like there's no way this guy sent in these horrible photoshop photos to these colleges these kids get in and no one follows up like i'm sorry is there water water polo team like down six people because there's six fakers like signed up for water polo like what about their actual water polo team i don't understand is water polo even a sport i've never seen it i don't know yeah i don't it's such bullshit you know like underwater basket weaving or like yacht racing and it's all this bullshit so you know like no one fucking goes to that to watch like you don't buy tickets to it's not being aired on espn so

it's not bringing any money so i'm sure that the ad is like whatever money we can fucking get get it out of you know archery archery how many katniss everdeens we got out there where's lego loss at i mean it's my whole thing like my my, my takeaway from the thing was, is like, I feel bad for the parents because the parents are just really trying to do what's best for their kids. You know, they're not evil people. They're not, I don't think they're criminals. It's fucked up because it is probably making some people that like really do deserve to get in,

not get in. That's fucked up. Those people aren't murderers or robbers. They're not terrible. They're not evil people. They're doing what they think is best. My thing is that your dumbass kid who can't get over a 13 on the ACT, you're going to fucking pump 200k into him being a fucking underwater basket weaver specialist

is gonna drop out after fucking two semesters like this is the worst like how did you get rich if you when you realize that investment that you've got here is a is gonna absolutely tank after the third quarter that's to me was crazy like i'm sorry the fucking laurie laughlin kid that chick was going to fail out sophomore year guys why are you putting money into that you know like let her be a youtube star and then get on with your life i know we have any kids that are like smart that want to go to good colleges or whatever yeah go try to get into those ones but like we were saying in like the preamble of the show dude you can go anywhere and still get a fucking good education and yeah you don't gotta stress about it you know there's a million freaking colleges i had it all

to do again i probably would have done this i would have gone to juco gotten all my creds and then transferred in saved a bunch of money, you know? That documentary was just amazing. We wonder how there's so many stupid people in the world. This is how it happens. A parent takes their child to a pool, has them fake a photo shoot, game their way, I guess, into college. What a douchebag kid to actually agree to that and want to and say like yeah dad

that's a great idea like you're parenting you're creating a douchebag son by like shooting a photo a fake photo shoot and getting him into college like that's just crazy to me this is how people turn out to be awful i just like that some of the parents are like i just don't want my kid to know i really don't want my kid i don't want him to know about this because it'll really ruin his fucking ego. You don't think your kid doesn't know he's a fucking idiot? I'm sorry. That kid,

I was a dumb kid. I knew I was stupid. I didn't, if I had went and took the ACT and fucking came back and I got a 34, I'd have been like, there's something awry here, guys.

I'll take it. guys. I take it. I will absolutely take it. But there is no way in God's green earth that my dumb ass got anywhere near a fucking 34. All right? But anyways, great documentary. So I'll give it a ding, I guess. Yeah. It was what?

The people that did the Fyre Fest documentary and one other one. Yeah. So they're pros at this, at this point. The only thing that really annoys me is that the person that should fucking go to jail didn't go to jail. Well, I know. And so this is what annoys me about our justice system.

Aunt Becky doesn't need to go to jail. Like that doesn't help. That doesn't fix the fucking problem of Aunt Becky going to jail, you know? Or the guy who started Mossimo go to jail. Like that doesn't help. That doesn't fix the fucking problem of Armand going to jail, you know? Or the guy who started Mossimo going to jail. The fucking guy who was photoshopping things and getting kids and paying off ADs and getting these kids in so other kids couldn't fucking get in. That guy should be rotting in jail. And of course it's not because our fucking justice system is ridiculous.

Preach it. So frustrating. rotting in jail and of course it's not because our fucking justice system is ridiculous preach it so frustrating the fat boat coach for like usc like he didn't he never even got anyone in he was just like what the fuck and now he's not he's a boat coach boat coach I'm sorry but yacht coach shut up yachting are you the schooner coach no you're a boat coach alright so get used to it Sarah and I watched

soul have you watched soul yet no what's that it's so good it's like the new pixar movie oh like every pixar movie it's for kids but really adults identify with it and like every pixar movie you're gonna cry at the end because disney wants to make you feel like a piece of garbage the cast is great it's jamie foxx and tina fey are the two main people and here's the the tag after landing the gig of a lifetime a new york jazz pianist suddenly finds himself trapped in a strange land between earth and the afterlife so wow so it's kind of heavy man it's like when i saw up i was like you're opening with a miscarriage and then the wife dies and he's an old lonely man like

what the fuck is wrong with you guys over there at disney it's some pretty serious subject matter so i'm gonna give you the synopsis basically. Jamie Foxx plays, he's a jazz pianist, but to make ends meet, he is a band teacher at the local high school in New York. But obviously like every musician, he aspires to be more and he wants to be this amazing jazz pianist. And so one of his ex-students gets him an audition with like this amazing jazz trumpeter. Okay. And so he goes down to the audition and absolutely kills it. The jazz trumpetist is like, where have you been?

You're amazing. Be here within your best suit tonight at seven o'clock. I did it. Finally, like achieved my dream. I'm going to play with this amazing jazz trumpeter, blah, blah, blah, whatever. And so he's like super pumped and so like he's like you know like walking out feeling no pain the leo dicaprio picture of him like walking on the beach like yeah like love that picture yeah exactly everyone knows exactly

what i'm talking about so he's like doing that in new york and of course the motherfucker falls down a manhole and dies okay this is how disney decides to start movies now. They're just killing people. And you're supposed to be like, okay, great. So he goes to the afterlife. And what I really do love about this movie, and I do think Disney does a good job of, we're not going to get super religious. We're going to kind of just walk a fine line between whatever. So he's in like a line with a bunch of different souls going up to the cosmos or heaven, wherever you want to quantify it. And he's like, no, I can't. No, I can't. I finally got my big break. I can't, I can't go to heaven now. I need to go back. So he like tries to go back and he kind of like breaks through to like this different realm of existence.

He lies and he says he's a mentor for new souls. And so there's all these like baby souls that haven't gone to earth yet. The dead souls, these mentor souls have to like get these baby souls ready to go to earth. And his whole plan is like, okay, if you're ready, you get like this little badge that says you're ready to go to earth. And his whole plan is like, okay, if you're ready, you get like this little badge that says you're ready to go to earth. He's like, if I mentor one of these little baby souls,

I can steal their badge and I can go back and I can go back into my body and I can go to this gig. The whole thing is about him playing this fucking gig, okay? The soul that he has to mentor is played by Tina Fey.

She does not want to go to the real world she enjoys living in the nowhere land or whatever and then the story kind of unfolds from there and then i won't say much more because then it would be ruining the movie for you but it is so fucking good sarah and i absolutely loved Of course, like you do cry at the end. One of the things that like these baby souls need to find is their spark. And so a lot of it is like trying to find your thing. And obviously for this guy, his thing was jazz piano. And so they're trying to find Tina Fey's thing. And so it's like really interesting. Like all these like baby souls are trying to find their thing before they're allowed to go to earth and it's such a good message for kids and then a

really painful one for adults because you need to remember that like there's like something in in the world that like gives you fucking joy and you like and you're just all about it and then as you get older you fucking stop doing doing that thing or caring about that thing or even trying to make that thing your career. For kids, it's like, okay, my thing is being a boat coach. I'm gonna go be a boat coach or whatever it is.

And then for the parents who are watching me, they're like, I wanted to be an improv actor and I just gave it up to become an insurance salesman. So anyways, the message is really cool. Obviously, the music's really, really good an improv actor and I gave it up to become an insurance salesman. You know, it's like, so anyways, the message is really cool.

Obviously the music's really, really good. Cause it's about a jazz pianist. Anyways, give me a ding for soul. It's so good. Wow. That's like the most passionate I've seen you talk about something in a long

time. Really? Maybe ever. No, I thought I, I got passionate about something last time not like that you loved that movie i did it like got it got me made me cry at the end you know what's your thing wells i don't know golf i like to play oh my god not golf

one of the big messages is like your spark isn't the thing that you have to do. So he has this realization of it doesn't have to define you, but you can't lose it. Like your thing is being an equestrian. You're not going to be like a pro horse rider, but like you're not going to give up your spark, you know? Right. So anyways. Cute. I'll watch it.

Yeah, you're going to love it. What you got? I brought watch it. Yeah. You're going to love it. What you got. I brought this up. I think on the first live Patreon thing we did, it was like at the very end, you told me to go watch debris, which by the way, I tried it again.

Really? I'm not feeling, I'm not feeling, but we'll come back to that. Um, but I asked you to watch an episode of the one. And I started it when I was in LA. Miley and I started an episode of it. And then I didn't watch any more of it until I got home.

So I had only watched The One episode. I have binged that thing. It is the best show I have seen in such a long time. Loved it. Loved it. Obviously, if you've seen the end of season one, I think there's going to be a season two. Can't wait.

So here's the synopsis. Love and lies spiral when a DNA researcher helps discover a way to find the perfect partner and creates a bold new matchmaking service. The one. a bold new matchmaking service. The one. This guy and this girl are able to use DNA to figure out who your perfect person is. And so it's like-

It's a little bit Black Mirror-ish in that sense. Yeah, but it's also like match or bumble meets 23andMe. Totally. And it's also like very successful in this alternate universe in this show my question to you is this would you use it in the show this is the struggle is like if you're already in a relationship like wells and i are it's a do you risk ruining the relationship that you're in that you've been happy in you know to see if there's somebody else

out there you're more compatible with like that is so scary my favorite storyline in the whole thing is the woman who is in a happy marriage with a really nice guy yeah and she goes on the one to see who his fucking you know match would be and then she goes and meets her like a dummy and then becomes friends and the guy throws a surprise birthday party for her and invites her people i know but like that one story i'm just like you deserve to get fucked over in this situation because you're so dumb so dumb but what about that twist at the? I don't want to ruin it for anybody, but that girl. I didn't see the end. Oh, my.

Okay, well, there's like that tiny little twist at the end with that scenario. And then there's another twist at the very, very, very end that I just like, it's not something like I didn't see it coming. At the end, I was like, okay, yeah, this is all panning out to kind of how I thought. And then at the very end, they kind of do one more thing where you're like oh didn't know that yeah it's pretty good I gotta say I think that was great I know we already talked about one documentary but I've got another one for you okay have you seen the last blockbuster I wanted to start that last night and I ended up watching something else instead was it good I loved I absolutely. And it's so funny because like Sarah has been trying to get me to watch both the college admissions scandal and the

blast blockbuster documentaries. And I've been like, I don't want to do a documentary. Let's do something easy, something that's like fun. And finally she made me watch them both. And I was like, I'm such an idiot. These were so great. Both of these were so great. Now, here's the thing. The last Blockbuster is a phenomenal film if you really remember Blockbuster. Right. If you're too young, and I don't know how many Gen Zers

we got listening to this thing, but if you didn't go to Blockbuster, you're going to be so fucking confused. Yeah. Oh, I miss Blockbuster. And that's what this documentary does it makes you miss the pomp and circumstance of going to blockbuster on a friday night with your friends and the babysitter like it was a whole fucking hullabaloo the blockbuster membership card oh

you remember like getting your own? Of course. Oh, epic. But it did. It gave you something to do. It was like an activity of going and picking out the movie, and it was like a whole thing. They also talk about when your movie wasn't there, so then you'd go to the return bin and be like,

hey, is the Desperado here? They have a lot of people who are famous that are kind of narrating it like paul shears one of them he was on the league and he was a blockbuster employee and of course he had like kevin smith who you know became famous from a movie called clerks in which one of the characters actually works at a video rental store when blockbuster went away we lost something that was really important which was like a gatekeeper to good shit the nerdy blockbuster guy who you'd go up to and be like i love horror movies and slasher films like what should i rent and then they would tell you you know they were like the bastions for like good shit very much like when you go to a record

store today that's what's awesome that like vinyl has made this comeback because like you'll go to a record store and you'll be like yeah i'm into the shins and vampire weekend and nick drake what do you suggest and they'll be like oh have you heard of bashong from france you're like fuck no and then all of a sudden you like learn about some new shit and you fucking feel cool again and that's gone now which sucks like that doesn't exist anymore

this is a big point in the movie and as we were watching it Sarah was like it's so true it fucking sucks like there isn't

some spirit guide for VHS movies anymore and I was like yes there is it's called Your Favorite Thing Podcast it's literally the only fucking

premise of our show. Is that two people talk about what you should fucking watch. I'm not going to work there. That's funny. Yeah. I like that. It's really good. You should watch it.

Like, if nothing else, for the nostalgia of the whole thing. Yeah. It's on my radar. I definitely do want to watch it. Oh, you know what else I watched that you talked about a while back what's that i care a lot yeah do you like it loved it so good right i was hesitant to watch it because i didn't love the like storyline of like her conning old people that like made me sad that's not what all the movie's about like once you get past the first like 30 minutes,

it really moves on from that quite a bit and turns into this whole other thing, really. So if you like haven't wanted to watch it because of that, like my mom won't watch it because she thinks it'll make her sad about my mammy that passed away because it's about old people and stuff. And I don't know, I was like,

I mean, it's like about that in the beginning, but then like it moves past it. So I loved it. I love Rose Munn Pike. I was like so inspired by that one that I about that in the beginning, but then like it moves past it. So I loved it. I love Rosamund Pike. I was like so inspired by that one that I went back and watched Gone Girl the other night. And again, like Gone Girl was so good. That's why I said she's cornered the market

of like crazy bitch in movies. I mean, doesn't she play the same character basically in everything? Yeah. And hey, listen, if that's your shtick, you fucking ride that to the wheels come off there, Rosamund. I know. She's so good. Yeah, you fucking ride that to the wheels. Come off there, Rosemond. I know. She's so good.

Yeah, that movie is going to win something. I've got another movie for you then. Okay. It's kind of a horror, kind of a drama, kind of a crime mystery. Okay. It's called I See You. Huh. Tell me about it.

I might have started with it. Okay. So Helen Hunt is the main character. You remember her from Mad About You or Twister? Yeah. Here's the tag. Strange occurrences plague a small-town detective and his family as he investigates the disappearance of a young boy.

It starts out with this little boy riding his bike through the woods, right? All of a sudden, he gets lifted off of his bike, and he flies back in the air, and you're like, whoa. What is this? Is this a ghost? Is this an alien? What kind of weird spirit just did this to this boy? And then it pivots over to these two detectives are out looking for this boy, and you find out that there's another missing boy in the area in the past couple of months. And like, this is a thing.

So they're like trying to figure out what's going on, right? And then the detective comes home and he's married to Helen Hunt. And they've got a son. And they're going through some marital issues. And then all of a sudden, some like really weird stuff starts happening in the house the tv keeps on turning on and going to the story of the young boy and like helen hunt keeps on like turning it off it comes back on you're like what is this is a ghost like what's happening here one day she comes home all the silverware's gone what is going on that's's the premise. I can't say much more about it

because there's not one but two phenomenal twists in this movie. Whoa. One happens and you're like, whoa. Okay, did not see that coming. And then the ending twist, you're like, oh, I blew my nut just off the first twist.

Oh my God. But there's a second twist. I don't know if I can nut again. Ew. So anyways, I see you. It came out in 2019, so I don't know how I missed it. Really good. It did not go where I thought it was going to go, you know?

Okay. All right. Huge misdirection. I'll give that a go. Give it a go. I have a least favorite thing. Okay. Give it to me

oh i wish i had tished the dish on here to speak on this because she feels very passionately about it yeah i was in la last week and my mom and i were like flipping through netflix and they i don't know this is a new thing it's something i've never noticed before but now they're doing this thing where it's like number one on netflix today and it's like top 10 on netflix today or whatever and it was the number one movie on netflix the day we watched this and we clicked on it it's like top 10 on Netflix today or whatever. And it was the number one movie on Netflix the day we watched this. And we clicked on it. It's called Deadly Illusions. We clicked on it and it was adapted from a book, I think, which is usually like a good sign that it's going to be decent.

And then like the thing that really sold it was the cast. It's Kristen Davis, who is Sex and the City, and Dermot Maloney, who's in a ton of stuff, especially he was like a hottie in the 90s. Mulroney. Mulroney, yeah. So we were like, okay, like great cast. You know, I think it's from a book, like it's probably gonna be good. So we started this movie. This movie is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. My mom and I just the whole time, like, we get like 20 minutes in, we were like, this is pretty bad. And then but we kept watching and then you get 20 minutes more and you're like this is so bad but we've already watched 40 minutes we gotta like finish you know keep going or whatever and we just kept watching it and it's getting worse and worse how did these actors read this script and

say yeah i want to be part of this project like it is so cheeseball and the girl the younger girl in it that plays like the quote-unquote villain she's so bad and it's just so cringy so awkward like the ending is weird it's first of all you don't even really know what's going on like it's confusing and not in a good way you're like what is freaking happening here like i don't this movie is bad my was like, of all of the movies and shows I pitched around Los Angeles that don't get greenlit, you're telling me that somebody greenlit this freaking Netflix movie when all the good shit I bring gets turned down and this is what gets sold? She was livid. There's a part of me that thinks that if you pay Netflix enough enough they'll throw it at the top of you should watch list i don't know i mean i don't know but we so we were saying like we were like how is this the number one movie on netflix today but it's because everybody clicks on it because it's like

because it's like oh good actors like oh like sounds like a good like little synopsis sounds good or whatever and then you click on it and then you watch it and even though it's bad you keep watching it because you're like well i've wasted 30 minutes of my life i might as well waste 40 more or whatever and you keep watching and then it becomes the number one movie and then you click on it and then you watch it and even though it's bad you keep watching it because you're like well i've wasted 30 minutes of my life i might as well waste 40 more or whatever and you keep watching and then it becomes the number one movie and then it stays the number one movie because everybody clicks on it because it's the number one movie yeah it's a vicious cycle save 80 minutes of your life and just say no yeah go watch i see you instead it's bad i got one more disney plus is just kind of being like, fuck it, we're just going to make TV shows now because movie theaters are dead.

Because they did it with WandaVision, and now the other one that's come out is The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Did you see that? Oh, I've seen the preview. I really want to watch it. Yeah, so here's the tag. Following the events of The Avengers Endgame,

Sam Wilson, Falcon, and Bucky Barnes Winter Soldier team up in a global adventure that tests their abilities and their patience. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It's just like another Avengers movie but this time it's just these two guys and it's fucking badass. There's really nothing to say other than the fact that it's the Falcon and the Winter Soldier and they're fighting.

So yeah, the Falcon and the Winter Soldier. And check it out. Okay. I still have to get Disney plots. You do. They got a lot of good stuff in there. I know. I need it. You can watch Soul there. I know you're not invested, but I'm sorry. This week's Grey's's anatomy episode was so bad i think i scrolled on my phone the whole time i don't even think

i watched it like it was i did not love it i'm sorry is um mcdreamy back or is he still is he dead oh he's way dead but he keeps like making appearances in like i guess meredith is in a coma and she's like in this interim like between life and death and she's on a beach hanging with mcdreamy and it's like okay that was cool for an episode now i'm kind of over it like is meredith gonna die or what it's just really weird i just really didn't love it at all okay since you did that i'll do this one really quick just really excited about the challenge because ct and big t are back together again and big t got her fucking skull which means means she can run in TJ's final.

So that's it. Wow. That's all I got for you. Okay. You know. Wow, wow, wow, wow. Got any Muzaks? Let me see.

I know this is your guy. But he's also my guy. Who? I really like Ben Howard's new track that showed up on my release radar which one called rookery i liked it too go ahead you should go shoot them down. So hey, that's me shooting that a hundred year old

rookery. Oh, look at me. The definition of futility that's what they'll say anyway won't they so i'll go back to working through the gentle hours of the year. Yeah, I really like that one. I love Ben Howard.

I do too. Okay, this song is not new, but it's new to me. It just popped up on one of my Spotify Mix, the daily mixes every week or whatever. And it popped up on one of those, but it came out last year, I guess. Have you ever heard of Leah Kate? I've never heard of her, but she's got a song called Bad Idea and it came up on this playlist and i am here for it 2 a.m and we had a couple drinks this evening look at me Now I'm feeling weak. Hands all over me. Am I in too deep? You drive me off in the darkness. We stand in the doorway.

What are we doing? I know, I know. I like that. I feel like you could use that in your DJ life. Oh, probably. I loved it. That's all I got. I wasn't that impressed

with anything on my release radar. I was watching Batman versus Superman or something because I've gone down the weird Zack Snyder hole. And I've decided that I think

the greatest superhero entrance music is Wonder Woman's. You hear that music and you're like, oh, fuck. She's about to beat the shit out of you i've decided that and so you need to remember this because i'm definitely gonna die before you

because the blood pressure when they're like carrying my casket to the grave i want someone to start playing the wonder woman theme okay just because i want everyone to be like what the fuck like is he gonna come back to life like you, and like everyone be on their toes just for a second, you know? And then, and of course I'm dead. Or maybe not. Maybe I come back to life somehow. When you're carrying my dead ass to the grave. I won't be carrying it, but okay.

Well, yeah. Maybe blood will be. I don't know who's going to be doing it from your family, but someone. This is what I want playing, alright guys? Just like, everyone's like, wait, is he fucking dead? What's happening here? Is Wells going to come back to life right now? Holy shit, Wells is going to come back to life?

Is he coming back to life right now? that'd be such a well thing to do and then you're like oh no he really is dead did you know that we started a dudes with toads thread on our discord chat oh really people have so people have a safe place to vent it's gonna be some good reading that's gonna be my next like airplane read i mean like dudes with twos is just a fuck you very much then pretty much yeah yeah yeah we're just fucking renaming old bits at this you know what i'm just saying we are doing what we're doing shannon a wants to do an erotic grandpa meetup when this COVID fuckery is over. That sounds sketchy.
