Alright, there's a lot of talk these days about how our health starts in our gut, but if you're a woman, it all starts with your hormones. And as I get older, I am truly learning that.

This is the first time I've used my voice today. out. poisoning. And so she was not feeling good all night. And then I had to wake up. She woke me up and then I didn't go back to sleep. All right. Let's call the brand Dino. Let's call her up now. Hi.

How are you doing? I'm good. I'm sleepy though. Why are you sleepy? Astra. Yeah. Is having allergies. Okay. Did I tell you this last week? Her paws have been, she's been licking her paws and now they're really irritated.

So she's having to wear the cone and now she's, I think it's been like a week and she is so over it. She has decided she's going to sleep in between my legs until I take the cone off. Yeah. Why don't you put little shoes on her? She takes them off. Oh. Mm.

She's got sensitive paws? Yeah. Yeah, boo has sensitive paws. D'oh. But we just put the shoes on, she can't get them off. Maybe you just send me the link to your shoes because whatever I've got, Astor takes them right off. Oh, these ones are like Velcro'd on.

That's what mine was, but mine was like neoprene. What material is yours? I don't know. Huh? Simulink. All right. I heard a little bit of your sob story. I guess Sarah's sob story really.

Yeah. She got food poisoning last night. Yeesh, from where? Well, that's the thing. I was the one who cooked. That's why I feel bad. Oh, no. Here's the thing. I didn't one who cooked. So I feel bad. Oh, no. Here's the thing.

I didn't get food poisoning. Do you know what I'm saying? What'd you make? We have very small, what I like to call a low stakes pool party. We haven't used the pool, but we've been gone, you know? So like we were like, we kind of have a pool party. And my brother's son is like learning to swim right now. So like, well, anyways, low stakes pool party.

Real simple. I made 24 hot dogs, like ballpark style, not fancy at all. And then I made a bunch of barbecue shrimp. You don't like shrimp? No I don't. And that sounds like food poisoning waiting to happen. And there was some salsa and that was it. But she's only ate one shrimp and I ate like at least 15. Wow. Maybe she got a bad dog. Maybe, but like, I don't even think you, can you get sick from a hot dog? I think anything's possible when it comes to hot dogs.

I don't even know if there's any meat in it. You know, like I'm not even sure what's really in this thing. Well, exactly, right? I guess, but I had a hot talk too. She's telling she got the one hot talk. I don't know. Yeah, maybe. I need to hit up anyone else from the group people that came over to be like, anyone's

got sick? What if everyone comes out of the woodwork and is like, yeah, I'm deathly ill today, Wells, thanks. Well, my brother will tell me. Won't be like ashamed. And then I have to go on Nick Viall's podcast today and his, one of his co-hosts is Sarah's best friend, Sierra. So I can ask her there, hey, did you get sick?

Yeah. Because if I got everyone sick, I'm gonna feel terrible. Yeah, that's gonna do a number on your reputation as a decent cook, you know? I know, I know, I know. My thought was, well, it's gotta be the shrimp, but then I was like, she's like, well, I only had one, and I was like, I had a lot of shrimp. But I don't know.

Anyways, I might have killed my wife. Sorry. Oh, God. Poor Sarah. Invertently. Yeah. So what's going on with you? Oh, what is going on with me?

I've been in Nashville, been home all week for the first week. My first week home since like mid-May, so it's been good. But I've just been going to a lot of doctor's appointments and getting all that stuff done, which isn't fun. I'm chilling. Dude, I went to the dentist the other day. Oh yeah? Did you get the laughing gas?

No, I don't do that. I'm a fucking rock. You're missing out. I don't need to be a little goofy for someone just to work on it. It's not a need. It's like a why not? I guess. I've never even asked for it. But I tell you what, so this is my second consultation. The first one was with the doctor, was with the dentist. And I was like, oh, this is lovely. You know, I'm getting hands on treatment from the pro here.

And then for the second go around, I got the B Squad. All right. I got the tech that came in there and she worked on my mouth like it was a 1957 Chevy dude. She got in there with some power tools. This one back molar, she was just working on for a while. When you say working on, was she like scraping it with the metal tools? Yes. And they get underneath the gum too. They're like really getting in there. And she works on each tooth for a minute. This one she was on for like five minutes. Did you say like, is there something wrong with that one? Well, I never say like, ow, even though it hurts when they're doing it. And there

were multiple times when she got so deep in there that I was like, ah. If you had the laughing gas, you wouldn't have felt a thing. Yeah. But anyways, afterwards she goes, you know, I've been working on this, this molar, you've got like a lot of buildup or whatever. Does this do these gums? Do the, do the gums around this molar bleed a lot? And I said, no, never. And she goes, never. And I go, well, when you scrape them with metal power tools for five minutes straight, then yes. But normally, not at all.

And then also- Some sass. Well, I mean, I said it like in a joking way. I was like, well, no, only when I get to take metal. I'm sure she thought it was very funny. Sorry, all right? I take good care of my teeth. I floss at least twice a week, which I feel like- Wow, that's good. everybody. Sorry. All right. I take good care of my teeth. I

floss at least twice a week, which is good, much better than everybody else. I don't floss at all. But I have the flossing. Do you use it though brush the floss the toothbrush the water flosser? Yeah. So it shoots water while you brush your teeth. Yeah. Yeah. Do you use it? I guess I do. You put water in it? Yes. All right. You know what I do is I do just the toothbrush for like 60 seconds and then the last 30 seconds I do the water floss. Yeah, I've got a water pick.

I do like the water pick. I do appreciate the water pick. It is nice. It's like pressure washing your teeth. It's so gross, but like there is a certain amount of satisfaction that I get from flossing. And you know when you floss and you smell the floss and you're like, Ew, no, because I don't floss. I really wouldn't though.

If you want to floss, if you're out there having a hard time motivating yourself to floss, floss and then smell the floss. That's disgusting. And then in your mind realize, ugh, this is what my breath is all the time and that's my Tips to living wells. Ah Can we talk about going to Coldplay concerts with your mistress and how fucking funny that is? It is really just turned into a thing hasn't it so great if they had just played it off No, no, no, no, no, I know

That's like the wives were and the husbands were in the audience as well. Which I don't think they were. No, definitely not. It's pretty good. I mean, it's the most press Coldplay has had in decades. Am I right? Chris Martin's like, thank God. Someone's talking about us again. Yeah, and not because he just got divorced. No, but because the CEO of some company called...

I don't even know, whatever and the HR rep or whatever. But human resources, classic chair were at a Coldplay concert dancing in the moonlight. His hands were up by their boobies. They go to like they're like it's you know, they're going to different shots of like cute couples. And then they get to them and then boom, she ducks down. He flips around, he ducks down.

The girl next to them is like, she's just red faced like, oh shit, I'm here, fuck. Not being a girl's girl. Nope, she's an accomplice. This guy's wife. First of all, that ruined two marriages It did and it also might have crumbled a company It's true

You know what else I did this week actually, but I went and looked at a Land Cruiser a new one an 89 That's what mine is. I know Should I get it? Okay. I know a lot about this. So I can tell you what start with what condition is it in? How many miles does it have? These are questions Matt needs to answer. We'll see. Here's the thing. I asked how many miles were on it. And the answer I was given is that the motor is LS swapped. So that doesn't matter because the motors new. Is this because he saw my Land Cruiser and then decided he wanted to buy a Land Cruiser? So this is because he strongly dislikes my Jeep. Yeah.

He says it's not cool. He said this since day one for the past year. We've just talked here and there about what other vehicle I would be happy in. I'll send him photos of like different cars like I see. And he likes older cars. So I've been trying to find like a vintage one. And I started seeing all these really sick Land Cruisers in Australia and was sending him pictures of them. And he was like, well, I can get you one of those easily, but it's going to be right-hand drive.

Yes. And I was like, oh, I can't do that. And he was like, really? And I was like, again, absolutely not. So that was kind of off the table. And then we were at your house and I was like, look, Wells has a Land Cruiser. And then we were at your house and I was like, look, Wells has a Land Cruiser. And we were looking at that. And I was like, I actually like that. I would like something like that. And then he found one on Facebook Marketplace

last week in Nashville. This would be my thing for you. You need to go drive it. Yeah, that's what we're supposed to do today. Okay, because it's an extremely slow car. Notoriously underpowered with high torque. That's why it's a great off road vehicle. That's why it's like every Safari vehicle in the world.

That's why it's huge in Australia. It's very underpowered. So like you're not going faster than 75 on the highway. I don't go faster than that normally. All right. Do you hate driving it on the freeway? No, I love the car. I think it's the greatest car ever built.

And I think a lot of people would agree with it. My car has 301,000 miles on it. Holy shit. The other thing that you need to ask is, but send me pictures. I want, now I wanna be a part of this. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna send you, I'll send you the Facebook link.

This is the first time I think I've realized that you think I have a cool car. I've told you your car's cool. You know, I really just I thought it would be a cute project for Matt and I to do together. I will say this about Jeeps. What I'm fine with you guys wave into each other every time you pass each other going the other way. I'm fine with that. I'm fine with it. You guys feel like you're in a club. I do. If you get this Land Cruiser, you see

Land Cruiser a lot less. But when you see them, you're like, what up? But it's not like a wave that like all of the Jeep people do. The thing about Jeeps, the duck thing. What's wrong with the duck thing? It's fucking dorky, dude. Shut up with the duck thing. Listen, I don't like when people like have a million on the dash, like it's a little junky. My sister's got a zillion ducks in the dash and the kids love it. I'm like, this is the dorkiest thing in the world.

The cool thing about the ducks is like the idea is that you put a duck on other Jeeps that you like and you think is cool. I get it. It's like a duck swap. No, I understand the thing. It's by the way, so it's the little rubber duckies that are in the bathtub. That's what these dorks are putting on me. They're like, oh, swab a duck.

Oh, I got a dark wing duck. Oh, I got a nurse duck. Oh, there's all these different character ducks. Dude, shut up. I think it's funny. Brandy, I was telling you that we had a little pool party yesterday. Oh yeah?

Yeah, I'd be open to that and then trick it out because that has a little bit more power than the Land Cruiser. Interesting. All right. Yeah, I'd be open to that. And then trick it out because that has a little bit more power than the Land Cruiser. Interesting. All right. Well, we talked about cars. Great car chat. Everyone's bored. You want to?

You're listening to your favorite thing podcast with wells and brandy Bip episode 4 finally out and finally, it's not like a three-hour episode Yeah, and there was only one this weekend, right? Yeah. Yeah way better Overall overarching thoughts. How are you feeling about the season? I like it. I thought this week was a little more boring. Yeah, it was the Cat and Dale episode that I was looking at. I know. I was really hoping Cat was going to cut him.

Really? I had high hopes. Yeah, like she's sitting here saying, I don't want to be with this man. I don't want to be in a relationship with somebody like this. This is triggering for me. Red flag, red flag.

And then gives him the fucking rose. What is happening? Yeah, I don't know. If he says deaded one more time i was gonna shoot him i've been seeing it on tiktok is it a thing i please let's not make this a thing or is it a thing because he said it this week i don't know i don't know we need to get it deaded though that's yeah it's not good at first i couldn't understand him it was like dudded i thought he was saying dud yeah dudded it and i was like i don't know it didn't make him. It was like, duded. I thought he was saying dud. Yeah. Duded it and I was like, I don't know.

It didn't make any sense to me. Like it sounds like a Gen Z term and he's not Gen Z. Exactly right. A lot of information about April's being shared, right? She likes the fresh meat. Get it girl. And you know what? She looks great.

She looks awesome. I think she's the hottest one there. I don't know. You know who I think looks really good is Leslie. Leslie's hot too. It's totally different vibe though. For sure. April looks like she's got like a sick skincare routine.

She's been doing the correct treatments her whole life. Like she's really been going for it and she looks great. Leslie's like all natural hippie vibes. Still beautiful, but like all natural. Totally. Both great. Both great. So Gary comes in with the most amount of energy.

I love Gary. You do? I do, he's just positive vibes, man. And they should have made that guy the golden bachelor. Yeah, he would have been a good one. Such a good one, maybe they will. Maybe after, who knows? Or maybe he gets engaged with this thing, I don't know.

That'd be crazy. But he's got such good energy. We find out Cathy's never taken a shot, which I find this hard to believe, but it's probably true. Same. Because the girl did like to drink. I mean, maybe she's just not a big shot girl. Maybe she's more of a wino, you know?

No, she is a tequila soda with a big squeeze of lime Listen, I bet it's one of those like don't let the truth get in the way of a good story type thing where she's like This is gonna be my shtick Kathy takes a shot off of CK. It's Whatever. Yeah, I guess I don't know and then Gary takes Leslie on the date Mm-hmm, which I feel like they're perfect for one another. Really? Yeah. Okay. Like he's good energy, she's cool, hip, you're right, like cool, hippie, lady.

I think they're both attractive. I think that they would be like the perfect little paradise couple, but who knows what will happen. Then we get into the cat and Dale of it all. Cat, cat, cat and Dale, always arguing. Cat, cat, cat and and Dale when he finds out that she made out with Allie Jo. So Cat finds out that Dale made out with Allie Jo,

but he deaded it. Did he? He deaded it. I think he just ignored it to be completely honest. He deaded it. I mean, okay, so I see both sides of it. Dale was pretty honest with everyone. The last time I did, okay, so I see both sides of it. Dale was pretty honest with everyone that the last time I did this thing, I got way too far over my skis. And I just want to have a good time. I want to

meet as many people as possible. I want to keep my options open. That was very much like his thing. And then I think he made out with Ali Joe like day four. In my mind, I'm like, I don't know if I think he did anything wrong. I think the way that he like went about explaining himself was bad, right? Yeah. When he says like, you're acting like my ex, it is such an amazing reaction from Kat. What a terrible thing to say to anyone.

And especially because we all know who he's talking about. Totally. It's even more cutting and the audience does too, where everyone's like, oh, this is Claire, got it. We know who you're talking about. Not only are you calling your current girlfriend like your ex, that's like saying to my wife, you're acting like your mother, you know?

Yeah. Can't do that. Can't do it. No. But then he does it, but then it's also someone that we all watched on TV Kind of be crazy, right? Yes, this woman talked to a raccoon once I don't know if you remember that but I was be I do remember that that is true

It's very funny. Yeah, you know Kim is going after April, but I'm not sure if April's into it she's not and Jack's annoyed by it. I love Jack. I like, I like. I like Jack too. Jack is awesome. Do you know what he told me?

I don't know if it'll ever make the air, but he was like, okay, I've been arrested 10 times. And I was like, what? How are you gonna rest 10 times, dude? And he was like, oh, they were all bar fights. And I'm like, okay. He was like, there's a lot of me having to sit in the drunk

tag, a lot of bar fights when I was in my twenties. And I was like, God damn it, Jack, you're so cool. Not ever been at a bar fight in my life. It's pretty bad ass. He would come in and be like whiskey neat. Let me tell you this story about this bar fight where I got like a, you know, a pool cube wrapped around my, my back and I kicked the guy's ass. And I was like, damn it, you're the best. And then we kind of go down this thing that like,

I think this is what the audience kind of wants, but then it's kind of skeezed out by, but like kind of the point of it all. But like we tip toe around the December, May relationship where April pulls Jonathan and it's like this weird convo. Yeah, whatever. You know, like I think we all know that this isn't like a serious thing.

But does Jonathan come across as a little thirsty? Yes. That like he's rose hunting from a woman who should be worried about her own damn self. I mean, Jonathan's been giving thirsty for a minute to me. I agree. I think this was a bad look. And then you don't not to like fast forward, but he like accepts her rose. I don't think he should have. I don't either. The other thing is Jonathan's been there long enough. There have

been plenty of other people that have had to come and go and like he's had his chance. Golden's had this narrative. They're young, they deserve they deserve the best shot possible. And I a lot of times be like, that's not true at all You know gonna be fine. Yeah, they're gonna be just fine. They all have six packs. All right Social media presence now, they're gonna yeah, they'll be on Ryan no time. They're gonna be fine Exactly. They'll be here next season you

So like I almost think he should have been like as much as I appreciate this You. So like, I almost think he should have been like, as much as I appreciate this. The thing about it is too, is like, we're running out of people to be able to bring on for the Goldens, because they're such a smaller sample size, right? Yeah, totally.

And so, excepting that he should have said, hey listen, I appreciate this, but I think that this should go to Jack or something. I really think that I have had a good run here, but I gotta go. Yeah. And not only is Jonathan is talking to April, but then he pulls Kat in like a last minute.

I can see that Dale and her are not doing well, and so maybe I can, the thing is, is that they, I think would be a really cute couple. I think they're both really hot. I also think that he, does he live in LA? I think he lives in LA, she lives in San Diego. That makes more sense because Dale's in New York, you know? Ah, yeah, let's be real, Dale and Kat ain't last in.

You don't think so? No. Okay, interesting. You know, every relationship has a little hiccup here and there. Nope. Nope, this is bad, huh? This is real bad. So Jonathan pulls Kat, homie is Rose hunting 100%.

But that's okay, you know, survival of the fittest. And like knowing that there's like some money thing coming up. But I don't know if he knows that yet. Right. Jesse keeps on teasing to everyone that... There's something. But that's also like hyperbole is like king in the bachelor world you know that's always the stick yeah everything is about to change yeah you think

you know paradise you don't know nothing yet you know how many times i've said that in press yeah so many times we've heard it so many times yeah last year it was that they separated everyone right that was the big twist. We didn't do prom this year, and I think every season needs to have prom. Yeah, I liked the prom. Kim writes Leslie a poem. How do you feel about the poem writing? Cringy. God bless. This is how my wife felt about it. But this is a man from a different time, all right? Where dating was different back then, especially for sailors, right?

Like if you ever watch old movies, you know, like Bing Crosby and Bob Hope are fucking singing songs to these bitches, you know? He just wrote a poem. So all I'm saying is that you know... But it wasn't good. No, it was terrible. All right? That's the thing. And Leslie handled it so well. So well. She's so nice. I don handled it so well. So well. I don't think I could have had that much class.

Yeah. Leia and Nancy show up. And Leia to me was like, you are paradise personified. I think she's Hawaiian. But I was like, you just look like you're supposed to be here. Totally. Kind of similar to like Jen. I kind of wish Jen had come too Yeah, she's like the most paradise II person anyways and Nancy dude. Nancy is a smoke show Okay, don't get me wrong Nancy's beautiful, but these fucking men men are just all the same

The woman's got huge tits and all of a sudden they've just never seen they've never seen anything so fucking hot in their lives. Because she's got some tits like it's fucking crazy. I never even clocked that she was she was big breasted. It's one of the guys made it made a joke about it. Oh, really? Yeah, I forget which one one of one of the older guys. But yeah, like, somebody said something and he was like doing this and it's like, Yeah, we get it. You guys like big tits. We're simple men. Oh so predictable literally so predictable I mean she is beautiful but because of it you just got new ones. Mine are tiny. Not anymore. Yeah, they're tiny Come on Brandy. They're just perkier

I shop online and the best part about it is that you get these great quality pieces for like half the price of where you would find it elsewhere. I personally am a huge fan of their organic cotton collection. They have so many pieces to choose from. I think I've talked before about how I love the t-shirt packs. I even have some of their scoop bralettes and boy shorts and organic cotton. The fabric is so good and the quality is incredible. I also have my eye on an organic denim

jacket that they have. It is so cute. It comes in a couple different washes. I'm telling you guys if you haven't checked out Quinn's for your summer wardrobe, you've got to give them a try.

I think he was there recently to visit his parents or something and he ran into her and they took a picture. It's just very cute. That is cute. So that's kind of the episode. I think that the Pat and Dale stuff was really interesting. What are your thoughts on the way he was like, I hate the way he was saying it was like, we were raised different. Okay,

alright, bro, like, you can communicate. Well, what I understood from it, what I took from it was it was something about not airing out your problems to everybody else, I think was that he didn't want it to become such like a public thing that she was like telling other people and bringing other people into it or whatever. And it just seemed like he was like saying like, well, I was just raised to like keep my shit tight and you know, like not be airing all this out kind of thing. Here's my problem with men saying it's not their business or you know, we can some stuff we should keep private. Well, but why like

if you're not acting fucking crazy, then it won't come off like you're being fucking crazy and there's nothing for you to worry about why not tell people like if you don't think there's anything wrong with the way you're acting or the way you're talking to me. Why wouldn't you mind other people knowing about it? Yeah, that's my thing. He doesn't want people to know because he knows he looks fucking bad. Yeah, I didn't understand like we were raised differently. That's my thing. He doesn't want people to know because he knows he looks fucking bad.

Yeah. I didn't understand we were raised differently. It's like, yeah, everyone's raised differently, but this is the person that you're attracted to at the moment and she wasn't raised this way. So I'm confused if this is not something you're able to get over then. Yeah. Him saying now's not the time because of the rose ceremony. It's like, oh, so you just want me to give you the rose and then, then we have this argument and then we're stuck together for a whole nother fucking week. That's not right. That, that tells me you just want the rose. I don't know. I didn't love, I didn't love any of Dale's delivery on any of it. I wanted to end the bachelor thing with this Justin Lexi feud. Oh, is it still going? Okay. So Lexi calls out Justin on Instagram comments in Instagram

comment section after he chose to give Suzy his rose. Okay, so Justin wrote this, I had no intention to lead anyone on I was very intentional with who I pursue but unfortunately the same interest was not reciprocated for days where I was then informed that this person didn't have an interest in dating someone that didn't live where she lived, was unsure if we wanted the same things out of life, etc. In now this in parentheses, this part of the conversation wasn't shown in parentheses, as well as telling me to pursue other women as she wanted to pursue other men prior to ending things with me.

The conversation before the rose ceremony was the first time I received any sense of interest from her. And I found it concerning that all of the reservations from less than 24 hours ago were no longer there. Minutes before we lined up for the rose ceremony, I chose to self sacrifice for someone I deeply care about, rather than take the chance of continuing to pursue someone who I didn't feel genuinely interested in me. Hope you can

try to understand that it was a difficult situation navigate for all parties involved. So that's what Justin said. Okay, harsh, but probably true. All like accurate. Lexi responds at Justin, what you're saying is simply not true. And you know it. As someone who claims to value communication, I suggest you reflect on how you show up in that space because this narrative isn't it. I won't let you twist my words or rewrite my truth. We both know the reality of what happened.

I genuinely hope you take the time to grow and heal so you don't repeat this kind of behavior with someone else. Wishing you clarity and accountability on that path. Please don't share my story or use my words that simply are not true. Justin at Lexi. Luckily, cameras are present for the conversation ellipses quote, you're in LA growing your business and I'm in Atlanta growing mine and I have no plans on leaving Atlanta and quote as well as quote, I'm not sure we even want the same

things out of life and quote, weren't a part of the of the reservations you communicated to me to which I responded, Hey, I would love to talk about these things, but you haven't given me a chance to to which you apologize for projecting on me. None of that happened? Question mark. I absolutely value communication. I've tried to reach out to you twice post show in an effort to communicate in which I've received zero responses from you. Nonetheless, still apologizing for what transpired and wish you the

best. Lexi at the comments. So crazy. You're now using the points I raised about us having a relationship to justify not pulling me aside before the rose ceremony and sharing your concerns. I'm fully aware of what was filmed and what has happened off camera in LA people talk, I asked you directly to come to me if anything changed and you chose not to the lack of respect speaks volumes. I didn't reach out after the show because frankly, there was nothing left to say I'm moving on with my life wishing you clarity and healing.

Justin at Lexi, I do sincerely apologize for not pulling you aside before the rose ceremony. I wish I had the opportunity to do so. But as you know, those conversations and timing are not always in our control. I respect you not wanting to speak post show and wish you happiness and success moving forward. The send offs on these are insane. Whoa, that was a lot. I think they're both right. I do too.

But dude, you did tell him that you were like not pursuing him anymore and totally For the rose ceremony you did say and kiss they say you Maybe both things can be true. Yeah, I think I wish them both the best. They're both great Yeah, and I hate to see him fight, you know, it's like Mike. We're not your kids fight, you know All right, that's the bachelor you got any faith things bro. Yeah, brah. There's this new Netflix series with Eric Bana Do you know I'm talking about untamed? Untamed we started that I'm like two or three episodes in taking place in yo semite True still the funniest thing ever is when Donald Trump in a speech called Yosemite Yosemite

That will never not be the funniest fucking idiot. I just remember tweeting out I was like, this is the name of the next Beastie Boy album. They were Jewish, you know. Untamed, a National Park Service agent investigates a brutal death at Yosemite National Park starring Eric Bana, Sam Neal from Jurassic Park, and Rosemary Dewitt. We started watching this too. This was this was on my list of things. I like the show a lot. And I imagine you do too, because it's Yellowstone, but it's happening in Yosemite. Well, it's not exactly Yellowstone. It's more of a

murder mystery than Yellowstone. For sure. It looks a lot like Yellowstone. Aesthetically sure. Tell you why else I love it. First of all, I've always loved Eric Bana. Always been a fan. He is aging so fucking well.

He is hot. Yeah. He is so hot. Like, I'm here for Eric Bana. Did you know he's Australian? Yes. I didn't know that. Well, I knew he wasn't American.

Oh, yeah. I've always just heard him have an American accent, so I didn't know. Sam Neal's great too. Yeah. I like this show. He's always on a horse. And then I do like, you know, his kind of like new, it's a mentor story, right? There's only like three stories that we tell.

One of them's a mentor story. And so, Lily Santiago, Naya Vasquez, is really good. I don't know her work from before this, but I think she's really good. Yeah, me too. Like I said, I'm only like two episodes in, so. But I just, overall, I really like it. I like the cast, I like the show.

Yeah, so effectively, this is what happens. It's these two mountain climbers who are going up half dome. I'm sorry. If you're rock climbing, if you're doing that, you're a freaking psycho. I said the same thing. In that scene, I said to Sarah, I will never understand rock climbing. Me either. Even with ropes. No, I know. It is't understand. It is so dangerous.

I just, something has to be wrong in your brain if you enjoy that. I could fall and die. That's the thing. That's why you love it. Yeah. My entire life is don't put yourself in situations where you might die. You know? Yeah, correct.

Yes. Yeah. No, it's crazy to me. So anyways, there's these two rock climbers. They're climbing up half dome. And then all of a sudden, this woman falls and like gets caught up in their rope. And she's dead. And she's got like, what look like wolf bites or bear bites. And it seems like it's just like a suicide situation. But Kyle Turner doesn't buy it. It then he starts to kind of like unravel some weird shit that's happening in Yosemite

We'll see what happens But he's a very good detective Yeah, he's a little bit like a Native American who's like very good at tracking Totally anyways, yeah, go check it out. Yeah, it's good Okay Totally. Anyways, yeah, go check it out. Yeah, it's good. Okay, so I told you about the Stephen King book that I read years ago called The Institute. Very similar to Stranger Things. It's about this kid who gets kind of abducted and taken to this laboratory where they are studying kids with gifts. He has telekinetic

powers, he can like move things with his mind, you know, but his other power, which isn't a superpower is just that he's really smart. He's like a genius smart, a teen genius wakes up in a strange place full of children who got there the same way he did, and who all like him possess unusual abilities. The Institute starring this new kid who hasn't been in much but he's great. Joe Freeman plays Luke Ellis. You know who's in it you might know is Mary Louise Parker.

She was in Weeds. Oh yeah. She plays the head doctor at the Institute. Okay. That was a great show. Ben Barnes, he was in Westworld. He was like, you remember him? Mm-hmm. He plays the night knocker.

Back in the day, smaller towns would have like one cop on duty who would walk around the town, look into windows and knock on doors and just kind of be a presence to ward off robbers and stuff. It's not a thing anymore because there's security cameras and all that kind of stuff. But he's a cop who finds his way into this main town. He has a kind of like a checkered past and he gets the job as the night knocker. So he's the one like walking around this small town and this small town on the outskirts of it is this place where they're doing these tests and no one really knows what they're doing inside of

the gates, but he starts to get a little suspicious about what's going on. Anyways, the book is one of my favorite books I've read in a very long time. I absolutely loved it and I highly recommend it. The show is pretty good, but here's the problem. Okay. It's on MGM Plus streaming service. Oh. So do you remember when I was talking to you about this show called From, which is like very similar to Lost and I was obsessed with it and there's three seasons out.

That's on MGM Plus. So I bought MGM Plus so I could watch that so I can watch this Institute show. But I get it. If you don't have that, you're gonna be like, I don't wanna fucking do it. Damn. I know, but it's so good. Okay.

And I finished The Stand, read the book, which is another Stephen King novel, and we finished the show, which is on Prime. You gotta watch it. It's fantastic. Pretty close to the book. Okay. You did a good job. Yeah. Matt and I went to the movie theater It's fantastic. Pretty close to the book. Okay. You did a good job.

Yeah. Matt and I went to the movie theater. Did you go to Superman? No, we went to see F1. Oh, was it great? I don't know that I would say great. It was good, it could have been great, but it was just good.

I was very disappointed at how cheesy it was. Ah, do that. Like I just wish it wouldn't have been so cheesy, and then it could have been great. Hottie Brad Pitt in the freaking uniform. We love it. If you like F1, if you're already an F1 fan, I think it's a good movie and you'll enjoy it. They definitely obviously have cameos from all of the famous drivers that we know and some of the team principals. There's a cute little cameo from Toto at the end. If you watch Drive to Survive and you like it or you're into F1, I think definitely worth a watch. But if you're not, I'm not sure that you would love it,

is the thing. It's crazy because there've just been so many other racing movies. Rush is one of my favorite movies of all time. And that movie was just so well done. And so to go see something like this, I'm like, I feel like this could have been great. And it's just too cheesy. What's the one where Ford takes on Ferrari? Ford versus Ferrari. That was a great movie. I should have figured out the name of that one. I loved that one. Yeah, same. So good.

Yeah. But yeah, it isn't right. Yeah. Christian Bale. The soundtrack was great to this. A lot of cool artists had songs on it. It's good It's just movies are freaking expensive now I used to pay like six bucks to go to the movies when I was young and I think I paid $48 for the two of us to go like crazy and it's like going away to like they're not doing themselves any favors I know I have a fucking problem with the reserved seating because here's the problem. When you reserve seats there's all these single

seats left and that's it. So I had to buy two single seats in a row and it was the only row with two single seats and ask someone to fucking move so we could sit next to each other. I think it should just be first come first served to avoid that problem. Totally. Because then when you ask people to move, it's just like, they can't be like, well, I bought this seat. Cause that's the thing. They could just be like, well, I paid for this take for this seat. And it's like, well, okay.

I mean, they didn't do that to us, but I could see a world where that would happen because people suck. And it's like, if you don't allow them to do that and they can't say that they have no, they would, they would, they would do with things, just move over. I don't know. I don't love the reserved seating. They want to save the movie industry,

they need to do a couple things. One, they need to be like, we are going to release movies in theaters, and if it fails, it's not gonna go straight to streaming. Because we as a society have gotten used to it, being like, I'll just wait for Wicked to be on Prime. Totally. It's gonna be there in like two weeks anyways,

and then I'll have to go in there. They need to bring prices down a little bit. When we were kids, like going to the movies was it. Like you did on a date, whatever. Like that's not a thing that bums me out. Like we used to go hang out at the Del Monte shopping center to go to the theater and watch movies. And sometimes we would go to the movie theater, not even knowing what we were going to watch and be like, um, I don't know, we'll watch that one, you know Yeah, it's not a thing anymore. I know it's sad. Anyways What are these voicemails you want to see if we got voicemails? Sure. Okay. This one's called How did you come well, we talked about the how come situation? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, how come it's still that's I struggle with it

Hi, Wilson Brandy. This is Katie from Massachusetts with it. Hi, Wilson Brandy. This is Katie from Massachusetts was just listening to your latest episode about how the term how come this is a total guess on my end. But I think it stems from how did you come to that conclusion? Anywho, that's all I got. I know Brandy talks about the pit. Well, you should watch it. Also rewatching Orange is the new black and have a new sound appreciation for it. Anyhow, that's all I got. Thanks. Love you. Bye. Bye. She seemed lovely. The pit is great.

I know. But I just don't care about that. Those type of shows. You're missing out. It was one of the better shows that I watched this year. Yeah. Allergy relief. God, I need that. You're missing out. It was one of the better shows that I watched this year. Yeah. Allergy relief. God, I need that. Me too, man. Hi, all the Brady.

This is Devin from Connecticut. I was just listening to the podcast and was talking about allergies and that you were using an nasal spray. So I wanted to call in and just let you know that if you are using something along the lines of Afrin, it actually is going to create what they call rebound congestion if you use it for more than three to four days. Basically, your body builds an immunity to the Afrin and it actually starts creating

more mucus and your nasal passages are more sensitive. So that's probably why you keep having to use it is because you've been using it, it creates this horrible cycle. So I because you've been using it. It creates this horrible cycle. So I would recommend to stop using that. I would recommend something like a Flonase that is directed towards allergies. It takes a couple days to work, but that will probably be better for you. And then I would also recommend Zyrtec over Claritin. And that's all I have. In case you're wondering, my credentials are that I am a nurse and I do have horrible seasonal allergies. So yeah, that is all.

I hope you have a wonderful day, both Wells and Brandy, and good luck. Okay, bye. Why is Zyrtec over Claritin? I need her on the phone. Dude, Claritin makes me so tired. Oh really? I take it almost every day.

Oh my God. I have to take a nap every time I take a Clareton. Are you taking the non-drowsy one? Yes. And I looked it up. That's crazy. It's a thing that like for some people who are little bitches like me. Okay.

Well, who knew? This is called nothingness is good I also think that sometimes while I'm listening, but it's the first podcast that I click on yeah on Whatever day it comes out. I'm a very busy mom I don't know what day comes out, but I always click on it right away my business but what I love about you two individually is That well, I'm ready. two individually is that Wells and Brandi you are so much yourself and you are such opposites. Brandi is the most opinionated like deliciously bitchy sometimes girl that I just love to listen to. Thank you so much.

She just has so many strong opinions, it's insane and Wells is kind of like me where like everyone can say what they want to say like and I'm friends with you i'm friends with you and he uh You guys are really a yin and a yang wells does not get annoyed with you Sometimes I wonder is doing me mad at wells me too and he's just ripping he's just ripping off of it It's just funny and it's so mindless to me, but I also am interested in your strange lives. So yeah, just keep doing what you're doing. Just a lot of nothingness is fine. I just wanted to tell you the nothingness is fine.

We enjoy it. And I didn't watch Trader's because, I don't know, D-TAC, so yeah. And you didn't watch The Bachelor, but honestly, I don't care. All right, goodbye. Bye. Love her. She's awesome.

I wonder if Matt ever wonders if I'm mad at him and I'm not, but he thinks I am. Oh, 100%. Speaking of yin and yang, I forgot to touch on the golden guy with the yin-yang necklace. How have we not talked about that on Paradise? I don't know. One of the older goldens, one of the guys wears a yin- yang necklace. How have we not talked about that on Paradise? I don't know. One of the one of the older Goldens, the guy one of the guys wears a yin yang necklace. Have you have you not noticed this? What do I care if you're going to use

wild it's fucking hilarious. Why I'm a yin yang. It's like a big yin yang circle on like a black cord necklace from the early 90s it's fucking hysterical he's got it on in every interview well maybe that's how he lives his life I don't know it's an immediate no for me it's funny these old fucks trying to live their lives all right well if you guys want to call in leave us some voicemails, please do 858-630-1856.
