Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Will you accept this rose, dumbass?

Episode Date: July 27, 2022

Warning: this episode is bougie af. So bougie, in fact, that Wells has to bleep out his suit and ring deets (but we do know the suit costs more than his first car…) Brandi spent the past few days partying it up in Miami where she ran into some very handsome bachelor alumni, and your hosts kick off the show with a f*ck you very much suggesting we take out all bach content. They ponder the suggestion, then get into bach content. Speaking of love, we learn that Chris Evans is apparently looking for his life partner, and Brandi would like to volunteer as tribute. Your hosts also talk about proper grizzly bear encounter and motorcycle driver etiquette. Lastly, they propose universal adoption of a “loss of enthusiasm” clause that you get to use 5 times per year excusing you from activities you’ve committed to prior.

Pumped out today's episode. Not going to lie. By the way, does anyone else just kind of order shit online on Amazon?

Not because you really need it, but then it's like, ooh, I get a gift every couple days. So it's kind of like a little, it's like a little treat for you a couple days later,

you know? Just me? Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Bing bong boom. Spink spank spunk. Hi. What's up?

I'm having some coffee. You tired? So tired today. Sleepy up? I'm having some coffee. You tired? So tired today. Sleepy Sunday. I'm tired too, man. And I got no reason to be. Well, how long have you been home from the bachelor party? A week from today. Oh, because you've had plenty of time to recover. Yeah, no, I feel quite fine since the bachelor party.

And I got a bunch of sleep last night. I got no excuses. Huh, fascinating. I went on a run today. Oh, how's that? Of which I've done every day since I've been home and I will do every day until the wedding because your boy's got to tighten it up. Went and got a fitting

and boy, I got to say this suit. Sheesh. That's what the kids say. Sheesh. Oh God. I mean, am I spending more money on this suit than I did on my first car? Yes, I am. Was that necessary?

And did we hit them up to be like, hey, this is for, you know, Wells and Sarah's wedding. Like, do you want to donate? And they were like, no. Okay, great. You know what? If you're going to get married one time, you might as well look good. You're not wrong.

I mean, women spend so much on their dresses that really there should be no judgment here for how much you've shown that suit. I'm going to bleep it out, but get in a suit. Oh, you're so fancy. Yeah, they're definitely not gifting you that. No, they're not. But I got to say, man, see, it's because I'm so skinny. Everything that I put on that's looks good on me.

Oh, really? Yeah. Like doesn't look good on me. Oh, no? No. Not so much. Nah? A little boxy.

Okay. But it's just right but here's the thing like my stylist is like an old friend from nashville yeah i go in there and i have no idea what i'm doing my friend slash stylist and what is it called that someone that takes it in taylor and the taylor and they're both women and they're both like oh look at this this looks so good oh look at the feel the fabric and they're both women and they're both like, Ooh, look at this. This looks so good. Oh, look at the feel of the fabric. And I'm like, yeah, I could be in, I don't know. And you wouldn't know. Yeah. Like Nickelodeon slime. And they'd be like, Oh my God, it looks so good. And you'd be like, really? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. And they'll say things like this cut, like really fits your body type. Oh, it's so good. It's beautiful. This fabric's

beautiful. And you're like, yeah, you know what? what you're right and i don't know if they are right or not it's just like when i taste wine and someone's like oh the the tannins and the peach cherry flavors you know and you're like yep yep i get it three hundred dollars a bottle okay great let's do it sold totally makes sense so yeah nice i'm excited for you i can't wait to see it now i've kind of like talked it up though $10 a bottle? Okay, great. Let's do it. Sold. Totally makes sense. So yeah. Nice. I'm excited for you. I can't wait to see it. Now I've kind of like talked it up though. I might have to cut this out because I don't want, you know, I want to under promise over deliver.

It's always the answer. Always the key. It's always the key. Got to do it. Yeah. Oh, the other thing, you know what we did the other day? Yesterday actually. We went and looked at rings for me.

Oh, somebody just asked me the other day you know just a loyal listener they were like i gotta know what kind of ring did wells land on because i was really stressed about him getting something platinum that scratches really easy i think rubber's the way to go well i'm gonna get a rubber one no matter what yeah but we're going with a... Ooh! Is that fancy? That's fancy! But here's the thing. I saw how much this ring costs.

Uh-huh. It's nowhere even in the ballpark of what the ring that I bought her costs. Oh, no, no, no. Not even in the ballpark. You could get 20 of these rings, and we still wouldn't be close. Yeah. You know?

Men's rings are just not as expensive. Guys, get the shit out of the stick for weddings. I just feel like we just get screwed. But I stand by we get screwed on everything else in life, so we deserve this. Yeah, okay. I'll give you that. But yeah. You're right.

You're right. You're right. Oh, man. So are you going to wear your ring 24 7 yeah i will wear a either that or the rubber one or the one that like breaks away so i don't rip my finger off like jimmy fallon did oh god there's a lot of men out there that are married and do not wear their rings yes and and they're called cheaters uh garbagebage is where I was going. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because I got to be honest, at my age these days, that's the first thing I'm looking for when I see a hottie, you know? And then I get my hopes up when I don't see a ring. Yeah. To like flirting with somebody and then, you know, you hear from somebody or you hear somebody else asks like, oh, what, no wife, no kids? And they're like, oh, no, I have a wife and kids.

You're like, the fuck? Yeah. Like, if I was your wife, I'd be pissed as hell that you're not wearing a ring. Yeah, where's your ring, guy? Trash. Then there are people like Higgins who tattooed the fucking thing on, so you're like, okay. That's what I want. Yeah, you want the tattoo?

I want commitment. Yeah. If you want out of this, it's going to be at least 20 to 25 laser removations, all right? Yeah, exactly. You're going to be thinking twice, maybe three times before you cheat on me. Yeah. What have you been up to? I've been in Miami, which is just, you know, that's where all the trash live, party.

Yeah. Men are just something else down there. Yeah, I went to Miami for two quick nights in and out. Great trip, though. Honestly, I went to two events. One was for Spotify in partnership with FC Barcelona. Very cool to do that. And then the next night,

which is really the reason I was actually flown down there, was for my favorite energy drink, Celsius. Had a swim week party. They turned like the whole beach into this icy, cold, snowy beach. It was kind of cool. It wasn't actually cold, obviously obviously but they did have it in a glue which it was cold in there and a glue bar very cool zed performed so i you know i was thrilled

about that love seeing zed he's so good and then you know i was doing an interview actually and the girl was like so like what's your relationship status like how's your like are you dating are you single like what's going on i was like i'm so single girl and she was like oh have you seen all the hotties from the bachelor that are here and i was like what no i haven't seen anybody from the bachelor that's here but also you know the bachelor and i'm not really sure that's like i thought you had a rule against the bachelor dating yeah i do i was like you know i don't i just don't you know i don't know if it's for me like i'm sure those guys are great but i'm not sure i need to be dating any bachelor guys or whatever then i get front row of the Zedd concert and I see which Bachelor guys they're talking about.

There's some hotties. Who? Well, our good friend Mike was there who I forgot he did our podcast. Mike Johnson? I think so. I don't know anyone's last name, to be honest. Very tall, good smile. Very tall, very gorgeous.

He was standing in front of me and turned around and he was like hey i was on your podcast and i was like you were because it's kind of a long time ago the ones i thought about it for a minute i was like i was like i know who you are i just don't really remember even on the podcast but and then i we talked about it for a second and i was like okay now i totally remember yep you're cute and then brendan was there is that his name oh no brandon from michelle's season yes brandon hot nate was there hot Is that his name? Oh, no, Brandon from Michelle's season. Yes. Brandon? Mm-hmm. Hot.

Nate was there. Hot, but trash, obviously, because I've been hearing rumors that he— Did he cheat on Michelle? I don't know if he cheated, but when I say I hear rumors, I read on my Explore page that Michelle was very caught off guard about the breakup. Got it. Don't love that for my girl, so, you know, sorry, Nate. Gorge, but trash. And there were a couple others that were very cute whose names I don't know, but I do recognize from the show. So a lot of cute boys there, which was fun.

You know, Miami is a lot like Vegas. It's like you can go somewhere at 2 a.m. and people are raging any night of the week. It was like a Thursday and people were raging. So we went to Komodo one night, which is a fun spot if you haven't been and you go to miami i highly recommend i'm just this like little club and like it's like the upstairs of a restaurant which is called komodo and it just feels like very exclusive and very cool because it's not very big and everyone's just it's great music and everyone's just like standing in the booths and dancing and partying it's very fun got you know a little sun by the pool and flew home all within 48 hours, so I'm a little tired, but here I am. Did you get any

double D? No, I didn't. Not even from Michael or Brendan or Nate? No, no, no. Come on. I'm not that kind of gal. Give me some tea, sis. I am sometimes, but I wasn't that kind of gal this weekend. Yeah, alright. Well, did you get some numbers

at least? Uh, no. Is that still a thing or is it like i'll dm you you dm me i don't know i've been off the market for quite some time yeah you definitely don't know it's different out here yo it's like it's different yeah is it hard out here for a pimp trying to get the money for the rent different cadillac these days yeah these days i literally just have dudes that'll dm me and say, oh, we have mutual friends in Nashville and they all told me not to reach out, but here I am reaching out. And I'm like, hey, you probably should listen to them.

Such a bad boy going against the grain. Yeah, but that didn't work. And then there will be dudes that literally will be like, we have mutual followers on Instagram. What's up? I'm like, these are all like terrible ways to slide in but i guess that's all there is dating apps and social media have really made it so like you don't have to have a premium on having game yeah when i was coming through i feel like i had game do you i don't know it worked on some

people but like now it's like hey sup you up i hate that shit what come at me with a line at least you know i know i know because listen like i i was a game hater back in the day yeah but now as an older wiser woman i can appreciate somebody with a little game i'm like let's see what you got honey you know i want to see i want you to work a little. Yeah. Sweat a little. One of the better lines I heard recently, I feel like I should impart because I'll never get to use it, but I do feel like it's a good one. In this hypothetical situation, you are the woman of which I am spitting game at. Okay. All right.

Let's hear it. Spitting game. Let's hear it. So I come up to you at the bar and I say, I just got to ask you a question. I love you. That ask you a question i love you that's not a question it never will be oh my gosh okay it would make me laugh but i would also be like but here's the thing it takes uh it's a leap of faith for the person to do it

because if they don't say that's not a question then it doesn't work at all you know yeah yeah and you and i feel like for someone to respond with that they have to at least like realize that this is something funny you know what i mean like you kind of have to realize like they're not serious in order for you to continue the conversation by saying that's not a question yeah like if some like goob walked up to me and said that i would literally be like ew and walk away there's two ways you can go about it you can either be like totally starry-eyed about it like heart emojis uh in the eyes or whatever or you can be like laugh. Then you guys start laughing together and then it's also served its purpose.

Right. You're right. I mean, it's a 50-50 shot. It is. It's not bad. It's not a bad one. It's not. Anyways, I guess we should start the show.

Start the show. Yeah. Is it you or me? I think it's me. Go for it. Bros and hoes, you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with Wells and Brandy.

So I thought we would do something different today to start the show okay i thought we would start with a fuck you very much oh that is different yeah and it'll make sense when we do it okay so i was going through the reviews and i saw this and i thought it was interesting so this is from every day i'm shuffling it which

great name by the way great name five stars thank stars. Thank you so much. Subject line. Can we not? Wells, I don't know if you're contractually obligated to talk batch, but if not, can we please all agree that the majority would in fact not like to hear about The Bachelor or The Bachelorette? BIP is different because you're on it and it's television gold, but the sun is set on the other two shows and I haven't watched it in years i skipped through all the batch talk to be honest anyone please feel free to voice your opinion on this but i would like to put my hand up for little

to no batch talk you guys are great and i love wednesdays and i thought that that was interesting and i take hot take and here's the. And I remember when we started this podcast, and I was very adamant that I was saying, like, this is not a Bachelor podcast. Right. This is not what that is. We will talk about it because I feel like I can present a very unique perspective on the show,

more so than just the average fan, I so i think that the reason why i wanted to start with this because we're going to talk about because i fucking watched the episode so i'm i've got material but but i wonder if we could throw something up on the socials and see if people are still into this yeah i think that's good i think we should start polling the yft years more often maybe and get some input on some other things as well yeah you know i agree so yeah i'd love to hear your opinion because i always assume that people liked the batch talk but but then i saw that and i was like huh because i mean because when i listen back to the show the things that i think are the best about our show are not the batch stuff ever. Oh, yeah. No.

I would agree. It's like movie music and weird rants that I go on. But I do know that a lot of people come here for the batch. So anyways, I would love to hear your opinion out there. And yeah, also, we haven't done Fuck You Very Much. But you know what? Rate, review, give us five stars. Tell us how you feel.

And we'll talk about it. What do you think? I just truly think the show isn't what it was. I think it's gotten less good. You're talking about our podcast? No, no, no, no. The Bachelor. Yeah, okay.

It's just not as good anymore. And I think a lot of people stopped watching. And maybe people that do listen to our podcast, maybe they did watch it, you know, two, three years ago, and now they don't because it's, I don't know. I i hate to say it i just feel like it's on the decline this last episode was a good one especially the end of it was great you know i liked the way they ended it and i didn't because my issue with the way they separated the women's journeys at the end of this episode right and made guys choose yeah it's almost like we went zero to a hundred too fast yeah and went from all these fucking guys so many that i don't feel like i know anybody and i definitely don't

know anybody's name and now all of a sudden we're separating them and i think maybe each girl has like three guys that they genuinely like and have a connection with because they've split them so fast you know what i mean yeah it was weird and like obviously it made for great compelling tv to have these guys to be like hey Rachel sorry I'm here for Gabby or whatever that's the thing like so you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't you're in that situation where you've got great tv it's very very awkward and it's really really sad for Rachel like I actually do feel bad for what she said when she like walks off and she's talking with Gabby and she's like I'm embarrassed I'm like yeah I totally understand what you're saying i totally get it i would feel the exact same way but then i'm like but as a viewer i'm like this is great because this is so

fucking awkward i love it you know and i wonder if like there was a better way to do it where it wouldn't be as great on tv but like all the guys were able to write a letter to the women i'm choosing you just so you know you know so so then that possibility never even existed yeah that well like what they did with caitlin and what's the girl's name brit i think brit yes what they did with caitlin and brit was have the guys write names on paper and put them in boxes right and so it was a little bit more uh anonymous yeah which again like you said isn't as good of tv at all no that's a problem but better for the girls i know i've

heard from you know sources that like this season is bonkers i'm like sticking with it and all that kind of stuff it's been a weird start very and i do feel like the guy that rachel went on the one-on-one with, okay, you guys are perfect for each other. Let's just, you guys go get married and I'll just focus on Gabby. I know. Here's the other thing. I love Gabby.

I think she's fucking hilarious. I also love her grandpa. He seems like a total mensch. But she's starting to sound like Jennifer Coolidge to me every time she talks. Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah. I'm taking the dog, dummy ass. Jennifer Coolidge to me every time she talks. Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm taking the jog, dummy ass. And I'm like, now I just hear Jennifer Coolidge, you know? Mm-hmm. And I'm like, ah, I can't, you know? Like, Legally Blonde, fucking bend over and pop it, Gabs. I don't know. I can't handle it. What I also found funny about the episode was so Gabby

has this whole thing of like you know I'm different or whatever and it's this whole self-deprecation thing that she's got that's like kind of like an imposter syndrome she doesn't really feel like you know she's like one of the women that have come before her and it's because she's different but it's weird because she's saying two things one it's like i'm i'm not worthy of this of this job because i'm so different but because you're so different that makes you fucking cool and different so like what is it are you special or are you not special because i don't really understand what you're complaining about right now the juxtaposition that we got in the episode of she never felt like anyone was there for her come to find out everyone was there for her yeah i feel like the tables have turned a few times on which girl it seems like is getting you know a better shot at this or whatnot because in

the first episode i really thought oh shit like all these dudes are here for Gabby. She's so funny, got a great personality. Poor Rachel, is she going to feel like she doesn't have any guys? And then the tables turned, and Rachel's all of a sudden having all these great connections. What's frustrating about this season is that it was kind of presented to us, I feel like, a lot, where these women are not going to be going against each other.

They're not going to do that. And no matter what you do, it's going to happen. It's an inevitability. You couldn't get around it. So then it's like, well, should you have just leaned into it? I don't know. I don't think so. I think the girls

are handling it really well. I gotta say, I think Rachel has some really good connections and really great options. Zach has had his name the one-on-one from this week. I think so. Like you said, fucking perfect for each other. Like sign the deal right now. Obsessed with him. Love that for them.

They look great together. He's precious. He seems so genuine. Like, love it. Obviously, I think Tinoino was i think he was her first impression rose right i think so yeah i mean obviously they've got a great connection and i think tino's great and then there's one more oh aven is that his name i don't know aven aven even i think it's even she has like a moment with him on the football field this

on this group date i think they have a really good connection. So I think she's got three solid ones, but I just don't, I don't see Gabby really making it very far with any of these dudes. I do not feel like she's got a very good crop to choose from. No. No. Are you, is there anyone except Nate? Nate's, Nate's the one exception. I think Nate is a gem. I think he loves, I think he really likes her a lot. I think he's hot as hell. I think they look great together, but I don't know if she likes him as much. And outside of Nate, the other ones in her group are not impressing me. I think he's hot as hell. I think they look great together, but I don't know if she likes him as much. And outside of Nate, the other ones in her group are not impressing me. I think my favorite and least favorite thing in the episode was during the rose ceremony when Jesse had to come in to be like, okay, so I got to take this rose from you. Sorry about that. And then like another guy came

up and was like, so sorry, I'm here for Gabby. And then Jesse comes up and he's like, I hate to interrupt, but let me grab that rose. Let me grab that one. Okay, I'll see you guys later. And then like it happened again. He's like, oh, this is getting awkward, isn't it? Yeah, it is. I can feel it too. Sorry, gonna need to grab that rose real quick.

Pretend I'm not here. Pretend I'm not here. I'm out of here. Goodbye. It felt staged. And I'm fine with it. I'm just saying. Pretend I'm not here. I'm out of here. Goodbye. It felt staged. And I'm fine with it. I'm just saying. Well, production knows

what the guys are thinking. So they can say, hey, listen, there's a good chance that this is going to happen. So... And I think they prepped Rachel. I think they said,

like, listen, this is how we're going to make this episode work. We're going to make Gabby feel good. We're going to get rid of some of these shitty guys. We're going to make good TV. Okay, girl?

And she was like, hey. As much as I know how the sausage is Okay, girl? And she was like, hey. As much as I know how the sausage is made, I don't think that's what happened. Okay, well, that's my take. All right, I like it. I loved the photo shoot. Franco.

All the guys were so game to be silly and wear embarrassing shit. I just thought everyone handled that really well. There really isn't anybody that was like the villain of the group date. Or like the Sour Patch Kid that didn't want to partake or thought it was stupid. Like everybody was game and very cool about it. Yeah. I did a date with Franco and I got to meet him. And he's like one of the most wonderful, positive energy vibe people that I've ever come across.

Like his whole just persona is fucking rad and so I'm glad that they brought him back in because I love that dude I think every guy that said I'm here for gabbs didn't get roses they didn't and that is so brutal I feel like it is a little bit, but hey. Fuck. They must be like, fuck, I fucked that up, didn't I? Yep, yep. Like, you getting rid of Meatball?

Meatball's been the best thing on this whole thing. Yeah, he's been funny. Damn it, Meatball. All right. That's probably enough, Batch. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

Well, do you got any fave things bro or what's happening virgin river is back baby oh yeah i've had all the yft years in my dms telling me and i'm like don't worry guys i've been knowing i've been knowing it is just such a good guilty pleasure show obviously it's nothing groundbreaking it is definitely not a wells show you've never seen an episode right never i don't even know what you're talking about. I've seen it on Netflix. Is it on Netflix now? It's on Netflix, but it's like a borderline lifetime movie up in here.

It's definitely not the most well-done thing. Honestly, my favorite thing about it is that it's set in this beautiful small mountain town. On the show, they say it's Northern California, but they actually shoot it right outside of Vancouver, Canada.ada it is absolutely gorgeous it's like the dream place to live so i just watch it and daydream that someday i'm gonna live in a small cabin in a beautiful mountain town and meet a beautiful mountain man who loves me uh because that's what happens on this show so they just have me pegged but um this is season four i think yeah so it's good it's kind

of a cross between like it reminds me a lot of that show heart of dixie which you also probably aren't familiar with it was rachel rachel bilson yeah summer and uh and the guy from friday night lights whose name i can't remember but he was the football player in friday night kitch nope not that one oh but he's in something else i watched but not taylor kitch the other the one that gets injured in the very beginning of friday night lights jason street i don't know his name, but he's in Heart of Dixie. And actually the guy that plays the town doctor in Virgin River was in Heart of Dixie. So there's definitely a lot of parallels, but it reminds me of that. And it reminds me a lot of a show I

watched growing up called- Picket Fences. No, no, no. It starts with an E i think felicity no dawson's creek no everwood everwood such a fucking great show i loved ever what gregory smith emily van camp god that was a great show very much everwood vibes meets heart of dixie so if you liked either one of those even a little bit highly recommend virgin river it's just great Dixie. So if you liked either one of those, even a little bit, highly recommend Virgin River. It's just great. All right. Great characters,

great setting, hot guys. What more could you want? I'm not going to watch it, but I appreciate the suggestion. Speaking of your suggestions that I did watch, Blackbird is so good. So good?

We haven't finished it. I think they put an episode out every week. Oh, okay. Well, then we're not caught up. But we were watching it today, and I was like, this is one of the better shows I've seen in a very long time.

Brandon, you've got to get better about selling shit. Greg Kinnear. Greg Kinnear is in it. He's an Oscar nominee for as good as it gets. He's one of the best actors ever. I know who Greg Kittier is.

Come on. Ray Liotta. He was in Goodfellas. You didn't say anything about Ray Liotta being in the fucking show. You told me the guy from. Usually I talk about a show, and you look it up, and you read the synopsis of who the cast is, and I don't have to do that.

The guy from The Kingsman. That's the only thing he gave me was the guy from The Kingsman. I was like, fuck, I don't have to do that. The guy from The Kingsman! That's the only thing he gave me was the guy from The Kingsman. I was like, fuck, I don't know. Is it The Kingsman? I think that's what it is. I don't even know. But it is so good. Oh, and then the guy from Richard Jewell and from I, Tonya is the

serial killer? I don't know who Richard Jewell is. I talked about it on the show, but you need to watch Richard Jewell is. Oh, I talked about it on the show, but you need to watch Richard Jewell. It's fantastic. He's also in I, Tonya.

See, that guy's gonna win an Emmy for sure. Oh. He talks like this the whole time? Oh, that dude. Oh, he's such a freak. What was he in I, Tonya?

He's the guy that wants to break the legs. Oh, God. It's been so long since I've seen that he's like the main guy okay hey and he talks like that and everything no he doesn't but that's why sarah and i are watching and we're like he's gonna win like this is crazy he has a lot of like crazy monologues too he's like man i don't know what I was thinking. Okay. I killed. He's so fucking scary. Anyways, Blackbird's great. Here's a spoiler, guys. But this is what I think.

Okay, spoiler alert, people. Spoiler alert. In case you didn't hear. I think the real killer is the twin that's not in jail. Ha. And I think that guy's using his brother as a scapegoat. It's a good theory. You like that?

Yeah, I do. Also, the girl in it, the woman cop, like I know it's set in the 90s, but they are doing her dirty with the hairstyles, bro. You think? Yeah. At least that's what Sarah said, so I'm going with it. I agree.

I'll have to pay more attention that's funny but yeah that show is fantastic it's on Apple Plus it is one of the better shows that I've seen in a very long time I suggest everyone go watch it immediately it's got the vibe of remember that prison break movie with Benicio Beltoro Escape atora. Oh, I never saw that. Oh my God. You absolutely need to watch that. It was so, if you like this show, which you do, then you need to watch escape at Danimora.

It's a true story. And it's a Benicio del Toro, Paul Dano and Patricia Arquette cast. Yeah. Anyways. Okay. Check it out. I finally started the terminal list.

We did too. Oh, I thought you had already seen some of it. We watched one episode. Oh, are you not loving? It is terrible. Oh no. You like it? I watched two episodes.

I like it so far. I feel like. I am a big, big, big, big Chris Pratt girl though. Yeah. And Taylor Kitsch is in it. He is. Jeez. Two hotties in one show.

I just feel like the acting is just so bad. And Riley Keefe's in it. I love her. Okay. So every time I watch Terminalist, or at least one time, Chris Pratt is like, you know, this like army guy. It's like when he was on Parks and Rec and he was pretending to be Burt Macklin, the FBI agent,

where it's like you can tell he's not that, but he's trying so hard to be that and he's just not. Every time I... When we watched it, I was just like, I feel like this is Burt Macklin here. What am I watching here?

I'm going to stick it out. I like it. All right. Stick it out. I had high hopes for that one. A former Navy SEAL officer investigates why his entire platoon was ambushed

during a high stakes covert mission. The Terminalist with Chris Pratt played by Burt Macklin Constance Wu and Taylor Kitsch. It's on prime and it's terrible. But no, sorry, sorry, sorry.

I'll tell you something. If you like that, I got a show. No, a movie for you, kid. OK, it was probably about a year ago that I talked about a book that I absolutely loved called The Gray Man. Oh, I just turned this movie on. The book is fantastic. And let me tell you something, boys and girls, the movie is gangbusters. You already watched it? Oh, we watched it. We loved it. We laughed. We cried. We were all about it. Okay, can't wait. Maybe I'll watch that tonight because I turned it on

earlier and then I had to get up and couldn't really watch it. But it's in the queue because Ryan Gosling. Well, it's Ryan Gosling, it's Chris Evans, and it's Ana de Armas. Chris Evans is in it? Yeah. You know, he's been in the press lately talking about how he is very intentionally

looking for his life partner and I would just like to volunteer his tribute. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. There's a little bit of like, is very intentionally looking for his life partner and i would just like to volunteer his tribute yeah yeah i know there's a little bit of like it's a little bit of a bit chris really what are we doing here you're captain america's ass i've always loved captain america the best of course i mean everyone like like the if if chris evans is having a hard time finding his forever person then let me tell you what kids kids, you're all fucked. It's never happening.

I'm still volunteering. Yeah. My agent will call yours. But listen, Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Brandi's future husband. Hot. Ana de Armas. So hot. Billy Bob Thornton, Alfre Woodard, and is it Regé-Jean Page, the guy from Bridgerton?

I don't know how to say it. Oh, I don't know how to say his name. It's French. It's hot. Very hot. Oh, and the little girl from Housewife, Julia Butters, who's such a good little actress. She's going to be a big deal. Anyways, the movie is fantastic.

When the CIA's most skilled operative, whose true identity is known to none, accidentally uncovers dark agency secrets, a psychopathic former colleague puts a bounty on his head, setting off a global manhunt by international assassins, the Gray Man. So good. And here's the thing. Chris Evans is a very good bad guy. Really? Very good bad guy. Because he's always the good guy. Always the good guy.

Fantastic Four, Captain America. He's always saving. And he is so good at being a bad guy because he's a good actor, but he's still funny. He's able to, I don't know. He's just very good. Ryan Gosling's fantastic in it. Everything about it, chef's kiss, great film for the holiday season.

Yeah, can't wait to watch it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gotta give a shout out to my girl, Sarah Hyland, the new host of Love Island, which is now out and it is on Peacock. It is so good. This is the US version, not the UK version. And I got to say, it's insane how they are able to film that show.

They just have cameras everywhere. Hidden and shit. That's nuts. It's not like Bachelor in Paradise where you have like production crews following people around and stuff. I watch it and I'm like, this is a marvel that they're able to do all this stuff. And they're just pumping out episodes. It's like six episodes a week. What?

Yeah, it's one every night on Peacock. It's insane. And I'm in on it, man. The whole thing I love. I mean, obviously, I'm all about seeing Sarah in cute little outfits and stuff. But yeah, it's great. Love Island USA. Check it out.

All right. I watched the new season of Alone on Netflix. and can i just say guys i love that show so much like i could not get enough alone it is an ingenious idea what they do is they take 10 of the best survival experts in the world they drop them in the middle of fucking nowhere and they say live out here as long as you possibly can. If you're the last person surviving, you win a half a million dollars. And these people pushed themselves to the brink, eating the grossest shit just to get by because they're all concerned about having enough calories to not die. Oh, and by the way, this year they decided to put them in Alaska

in the middle of grizzly bear country. Everyone is getting hunted by fucking grizzly bears. How insurance companies were able to insure this show, I will never know. It is so dangerous. Every character, every cast member runs into a grizzly every day. Every day. Yeah.

A grizzly bear. You know. I ran into a grizzly bear in Alaska. Did you? I did. Did you have bear spray and a bear horn? I had bear spray, but I obviously did not have to use it. Did you go, hey, bear.

Hey, bear. Whoa, bear. That's what I did. Why does everyone say that? You can say anything, I assume. You're just trying to say things. Yeah. I don't know. That's what I did. Why does everyone say that? You can say anything, I assume. You're just trying to say things. Yeah. I don't know.

That's just what you're told. That's what the handbook says to say. So that's what everyone says. But the goal is to just make noise and make sure the bear knows you're there. Yeah. You could say anything, though. Nickelback. Nickelback.

No, I was like, hey, bear. Hey, bear. Hey, bear. Hi, bear. Hey, bear. I mean, if you're a bear and you can kind of understand English, you're like, this person thinks that we're friends and maybe I should go meet them. They keep on saying hey to me.

You know? Yeah. Maybe we'd go with, go away, bear. Go away, bear. Not, hey. Hey. Hey, you. You, bear.

You. And they're like, yeah, me? Do you have fish? Anyways, Alone is so good. And there's a guy on it named Biko. He is a metalhead and has twins in the way. And he's so fucking entertaining. And I'm just rooting for Biko the entire time.

I don't want to root for anybody so you can go watch it. Alone is so good. It's the best. It's such a good show. And the fact that people aren't getting mauled by bears the entire time is insane. But go check it out. It's on Netflix. I think it's also on like History Channel. One of the places I was in Alaska, I think it was when I did the boat tour out on Kinnick Glacier.

The guy there said they film a lot of Alone out in that area. And that he's like helped a bunch of the film crews out there. Yeah, Knick sounds right. That sounds around where they were. Yep. Great show. Great show. I got something that I didn't like that I want to just kind of throw this one out there.

It's a documentary on Netflix called DB Cooper, Where Are You? where are you? So I didn't know this story, but back in 1971, a man boarded a flight and he told the stewardess that he had a bomb on board and he demanded $200,000 and four parachutes. They went and got it for him. They took back off and then he opened up the back hatch of the plane and jumped out with the parachute and the money and they've never been able to find db cooper so obviously very compelling interesting story so you're going into this being like great all about this documentary what happened to db cooper he's kind of like this like robin hood figure now in Americana. They're interviewing people all about D.B. Cooper. The problem is, is that, and I imagine this happens a lot

with like all these internet sleuths that are like trying to figure out real crime podcasts and stuff, you know? You just have wackadoos coming up with crazy theories and confronting people that they think is D.B. Cooper. What are you doing? Episode three, three i'm like this is insane what are we fucking talking about this the person that's he's yelling at this guy who he thinks is db cooper and the guy's like i don't want the fuck to tell you like leave me alone i'm not db coop you don't have any evidence obviously the fbi would probably

arrest me if they had evidence you're just a crazy sleuth guy get the fuck out of my boat dock so anyways db cooper where are you you know what not good not good wow i don't know i didn't finish it maybe there is some like crazy ending to it i just think it's a bunch of crackpots you know doing some crackpot shit yeah i've always just felt like that story just was made up. It's a great story. I don't think that person would ever existed. Yeah. That's my hot take. I was thinking about the other night,

Stranger Things. Mm-hmm. You know, this is kind of like this generation's goonies, I suppose, or like Stand By Me or The Outsiders or something. Kind of like this iconic thing, snapshot thing, of a bunch of really young, actors my question is who do you think is going to be the breakout star of stranger things in the outsiders boys you mean of the original cast i wouldn't say like max is in that you know but i you know i don't know i mean i

don't know just a breakout star i. I think, I think Dustin. That's what I said. Yeah. That's what I said. Sarah said Maya Hawke, but I was like, but she's not, she's not one of the OGs, but like, but I see what she's saying. She got the pedigree with the parents. Very good actress.

She's very pretty. I could see it. I could see her being right about that. It's interesting question. I'd love to ask the YFT. It's like, who's going to be the breakout star? So in the Outsiders It was like Tom Cruise and Rob Lowe

You know? And in the Goonies I think everyone thought It was going to be Corey Feldman But it ended up being Sean Astin And then like a little bit of Josh Brolin Oh yeah And then like Stand By Me

Everyone was like Well it's going to be River Phoenix And it probably would have been But then River Phoenix passed away And so then it was Chris O'Donnell And it probably would have been, but then River Phoenix passed away. And so then it was Chris O'Donnell and Will Wheaton and actually Kiefer Sutherland. Kiefer Sutherland was the guy who came out of that. You know?

Yeah. They obviously all could become the massively famous stars, but there will be people who are like, always just going to be that character. You know, like Chunk was always Chunk after the Goonies. I feel like I don't remember seeing him in anything else after that. Interesting. Love to know what the YFT

is you're thinking. I don't know if you have this. In Los Angeles, there's a good bit of it. And I've seen it around New Orleans and other places. People who ride motorcycles who do wheelies a lot. Oh, I hate that. What are you doing, guy? It's dangerous. People in Miami are

doing that a lot. I'd like to do it everywhere. And I just feel like it's very, very scary. I'm just watching and just nervous for you. Okay, great. Like you can put like your life at risk or whatever. But like what happens if like you crash and then I run over you? Then I have to deal with that for the rest of my life. True.

I have to go to therapy now because you wanted to pop a wheelie on fucking La Cienega, guy. Come on. No, thank you something dangerous like also cops arrest these people for doing crazy things yeah you can't be popping wheelies on ventura boulevard crazy it's crazy time the fact that we're given these massive vehicles that fly down the street let a 16 year old be in of, is already bonkers and extremely dangerous. And now you got guys over here saying, you know what? Of all the wheels that were supplied to me in this vehicle,

I only need half of them to be able to keep going. That's how good I am. I only need half. I mean, they're all just trying to show off. To who? Me? I'm sitting there thinking, you dipshit. If I run you over, I'm going to pop your head like a grape.

And then I'm going to have to go to therapy for years. It's true, though. That's what's going through my brain. And this is the only way I can justify it. They're like, chicks are going to dig this, you know? Totally. I don't think I've ever come across a woman who would see that and be like, I've got to fuck that guy right now. I don't think I've ever come across a woman who would see that and be like, I gotta fuck that guy right now.

I don't think that ever. I think that everyone would be like, ew, like that bike is too loud and like dangerous. You know, like what are you doing? Get it together. Stop doing wheelies. You're an adult, I think. Yeah.

If you're on a dirt bike, sure. And you're doing jumps and things, sure. Have at it. Still dangerous. Still very dangerous doing jumps and things, sure. Have at it. It's still dangerous. Still very dangerous. And wear a helmet. Yeah. But if you're on surface streets in downtown Los Angeles, what are you doing, kid?

What do you want? I wanted to talk a little bit about canceling plans. Whether you cancel them or they get canceled for you. Because sometimes you'll make plans and then they'll get canceled. And you'll be like, fuck, yes. Like yes like thank god i did not want to do that what a win for the day like i don't have to go get drinks with them even though i like them but like i'm just not ready for it or whatever you know the problem is is that past me is much more enthusiastic than present me totally when i'm looking into the future i see myself as a much more gregarious, outgoing person.

I see myself as the best of me. But if I'm being honest, I'm not that person that I see in the future that wants to go get drinks. I'm not that guy. So I was thinking that what we should do is we should start planning things with a loss of enthusiasm clause. Be like, yes, I would love to go bowling next Thursday as long as I don't become unenthusiastic about it later. But just so you know, there's a chance that I might become

unenthusiastic about bowling and I'm gonna have to tell you about that later. Right now, me loves the idea of throwing some strikes, you know, at the lazy strike and spare down the road. Right now, me loves the idea of future me having a bunch of flat beer and just rolling and wearing the silly shoes and the stupid shirt with my name on the back, putting my fingers in the dirty ball holes. But present day me might not want to do that so i'm gonna i'm gonna say yes with a loss of enthusiasm clause that i may rescind my invitation at the time being and i think that that would be a good thing for everyone to get on board with here's the thing yeah okay

tell me if i get a loss of enthusiasm clause on shit yeah i'm not ever going anywhere to do anything ever and honestly sometimes there are a good amount of times where i'm like i dread having to do this and schlep downtown like i wish i hadn't agreed to this and then i go and i'm like i'm so glad i did that i know even though i didn't want to yeah so if i had that clause like i would just feel like i would miss out on a lot. It's true. It's very true. Yeah. That's always like the most fun nights is when you don't expect anything of it. But maybe we deal out five loss of enthusiasm clause cards. Okay. And so over the year, you can only play the five. Yeah. I like that. I got to really got to save these, you know,

like I really don't want... Last week, Wells really wanted to go see Blake Shelton, but today, Wells realizes that he can't stand Blake Shelton, you know? I don't know why. Last week, Wells thought that was a good idea, but we're gonna... These are hard to come by, but you

know what? Yep, I'm gonna play it. I'm playing my last of enthusiasm card, guys. Ooh, we got four left this year. I like that idea. It's a good idea. Yeah. It's also kind of funny because it can be like in a group chat where it's just an emoji and it's like, oh, shit.

What would the emoji for the lack of enthusiasm card be? I don't know. I feel like it needs its own emoji. It does. You know? Yeah. The yawning one. Maybe the clown.

The clown face. Because the clown is who you were a week ago when you agreed to this. True. The uno reverse card. Throw that down. Not doing it. It's a good idea. I got to think of a first dance song with my mom.

Oh, you don't have all that figured out yet well i asked her i was like what do you want thinking that she would want like this is my opportunity to show everyone what my song is with my son and she was like you choose you're the dj and i was like yeah but this is like your thing you need to choose and she was like no i want you to choose and i'm like okay just another thing on my table, mom. Thanks. Thanks for adding that to the plate. I'm not seeing anything new that I'm liking. What do you got?

I like this song, this Venus and the Fly Traps, Boys Are Cuter When They're Crying. I don't know if you've heard this song, but I'm kind of digging on it. Check it out. Why do guys like you always look so sad and why do i feel like i want to be the reason with your fresh tattoos and your arms across your chest now why do i feel like i want to screw you over Over And I hate when you write songs about me I hate it even more when you play them for your friends I'm not going anywhere

I was digging on that. That's good. Yeah, I feel like that's a very Brandy song. Yeah, I don't mind that. Yeah. I don't have shit this week for music. All right. I got another one then.

We can kind of go out on this one. I'm not dropping any knowledge on you. Maggie Rogers' new song, Horses, came on my playlist. And I like Maggie Rogers. She seems, like, pretty cool. Yeah. Agree. I mean, I've never met her, but I feel like if I did meet her, we'd be friends.

Absolutely. Mm-hmm. I've never met her, but I feel like if I did meet her, we'd be friends. Absolutely. I wouldn't use a loss of enthusiasm card on going bowling with Maggie Rogers, is what I'm trying to say. Right, right, right. All right. Well, you got anything big coming up that I don't know about? I'm actually home for a couple of weeks. So, yeah, not a whole lot going on in the next week or so, but I feel like I could use break i've been on the go go go go go i hear that sister you know i need a vacation from from the

vacation i was just on yeah i gotta find something to wear to your wedding honestly get on it that's high on my to-do list you want me to send you my uh stylist and i probably can't afford them so no i don't know why don't you just hit up miley and say hey whatever you wore to the last whatever can i borrow it oh yeah let me just show up in like a fucking like leather like like whatever bra and underwear or some shit with like eight inch platforms to your wedding whatever she wore to the Met Gala in 2017, let's just use that. I'm pretty sure that was the year that punk was the theme, so that's probably not good.

Alright. What I'm trying to say is I know she's got some gowns. Walk over to her house. Oh, we're talking... I have to wear a gown? I mean, you know what I'm saying. Like a dress. I was going with cocktail attire here. Okay, listen. Just do it. I know you're going to wear sneakers and like pants.

No, no, no. I'm going to wear, I'm going to show my legs, okay? It's my one good asset. Yeah. What are you talking about? I've been seeing a lot of these bikini pictures. You're doing just fine. I'm doing great from the waist down these days.

You're doing good from the crown of your head down. By the way, your mom posted a thirst trap the other day. Oh my God, she sent them to me and said, can I post these? And I was like, you can? Am I embarrassed? Yeah, but do I blame you? No. If I look that good, I'm posting like that too.

I saw them and I was like, sheesh. I said, sheesh. Oh boy. And I even wrote something like and I think I wrote like I wrote out like and that's why they call her Tish the Dish and then I was like I'm gonna delete that. I don't know

if I should do that. But God, she looked good. She's looking good. She is living her best life. She truly is. All right. I'm out of here. Rate, review, give us some fuck you very muches,
