Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - You can’t handle the truth

Episode Date: May 28, 2025

Sphere-life has begun YFT fam! This week Brandi is in Vegas broadcasting from a place called ‘Mormon House’ - just down the road from a real Mormon temple which according to Bran might be the most beautiful building ever AND the most judge-y all in one. This of course leads to an epic debate: is having a 'Mormon Face' all about natural glow or just…genetics on repeat? Meanwhile, Wells is no longer sweating it out in Costa Rica—Bachelor in Paradise has wrapped production, and your guy has some big cinematic promises for the new season. Instead he’s in French Lick, Indiana, because why would you not want to go to a place called French Lick?? The bumper stickers alone would be worth the price of the plane ticket. Brandi details out the highs and lows of her first two shows at The Sphere - lost gear, USPS heroics and Kenny Chesney hittin all the right notes. What’s not to love? Lastly, your hosts ask if the YFT fam has ever had to bend the truth in the name of a good story? Tell us yours in the VM’s and comments y’all, we wanna hear them!

What up, YFTers? Coming to you live from a different hotel. This time I have officially left Paradise, which could also be called Sweatbox. So I've left the confines of Costa Rica Hotel. I would tell you the name of the hotel, but I'm not allowed to because it's a secret, I guess still, I don't know.

Anyway, so yeah, I'm wrapped from that show and now I am in French Lick, Indiana. You know, it's sad, we went through an entire season of Paradise and I'm not sure if anyone got a French Lick Indiana. You know it's sad we went through an entire season of Paradise and I'm not sure if anyone got a French Lick but I leave Paradise and the first thing I get to go do is get a hotel room a French Lick. No I think there's some I think there was some French Licking in Paradise this season. At least I hope so. I think you guys are gonna like the show show though I'm saying that. So anyways yeah I'm here in a hotel this one's called the West Baden Springs Hotel it's a huge atrium you walk in it's huge big room like vaulted

ceilings it's it's like something that they'd have the pterodactyls in in just Jurassic World anyways it was built like in the early 1900s so I'm pretty sure this place haunted so if you see anyone run by me behind me ghost definitely ghost here so yeah anyways that's what's going on in my life. Should we call the brand I let's call a brand. I being bang boom ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding Hello.

What do you think about this glitter headboard? Yeah, I mean. You're in Vegas right now. So you're in Vegas. I just feel like that was definitely a house that they've been shooting porn in. Well, I'll have you know, this is a Mormon house. Mormon porn. This is a house soaking and elbow gets way better. First of all, the Mormon temple is two blocks

from me. Walk by it every night. You gotta go in. It's beautiful. Honestly, it's the most gorgeous building I've ever seen. The sickest view, I have a really sick view, and the Mormon temple has the same view of the Las Vegas Strip, so they can just stand up there and just judge everybody, you know? Yes. I'm just assuming they do that.

Sinners! Fucking sinning! So yeah, my bedroom has the glitter headboard, which we love. We love. But if you come visit Wells, I have a special room upstairs for you. Okay, what is it?

Tell me more about it. It has not one, but two beds facing each other in the room. Oh my God. Yes. Why do they have that? You know, I don't know. Because typically in an Airbnb, if they're trying to cram people in, right, and make it accommodate more people, you would put two beds, but you would do it like a hotel,

and you would do it side by side, correct, with a little table in the middle. Not here. Wow. The Mormons, they face the beds towards each other. Do you think that husband and wife don't sleep in the same bed, but they have the beds facing each other and then they have some me time so they can see they can see the other person having me time as well and they can meet time together? I think that's a good theory because it is I think it is technically like the primary

bedroom up there, you know, is it? Should we go on the balcony and the master bath and like whatever. And I just was like, that's not for me. Matt and I were like, that's not for me. Matt and I were like, yeah, no, we're gonna sleep with the same bed. Oh my God. The practice of Mormons,

members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints having beds that face each other, especially in missionary settings is not a standard or official practice. However, it was previously a common arrangement designed to discourage any non marital sexual activity between missionaries, including homosexual activities, as reported by the state. This set up was part of a broader instructions aimed at maintaining

purity and promoting a specific understanding of sexuality within the church. Huh. I don't know, that's not, I'm not sure that's stopping anyone from going gay, you know? I was just about to say, you know, I was a teenager once upon a time. Yeah.

And sleeping in separate beds in the same room wasn't stopping anybody from anything. No, if anything, it's just kinda creepier. Anything, it made it worse. Yeah, it's just kind of creepier. Yeah, it's creepier, because you're sitting there and you're watching someone sleep, and you're just like, yeah. Or doing other things.

Yeah. Anyways, I love, the Mormons are crazy. I just love them so much. Have you heard about Mormon face? No. I saw this recently. It was some Mormon talking about how like they have Mormon face. And I'm like, what does that mean? So the concept of Mormon face

refers to the idea that some people perceive individuals who are Latter Day Saints members of the church members of the Church of Jesus Christ L Latter-day Saints, as having distinct facial features or a look that distinguishes them, this perception is often tied to the idea that they appear more spiritual, healthier, or have a brighter continence. But really what it is, is because all the Mormons are intermarrying with all the other Mormons are in her in her marrying with all the other Mormons. And so they all they have there's no

diversity in gene. So it's like low grade incest. Yeah, I don't love it. They do look beautiful, though. I mean, like, think about like all the dancers on Dancing with the Stars, the professional girls, those are, they're all Mormon. All of them are Mormon, and they're all gorgeous. Interesting.

Yeah, they've really just kind of bred out the ugly over there in the Mormons. So anyways, now the more you know, da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Pretty funny though, huh? I guess I just didn't realize, Matt's been on quite the adventure. Matt flew to Boise yesterday morning, picked up this truck that he bought months ago that has been a complete thorn in my side

But baby, it was such a nightmare when we were in Sun Valley. It's been a nightmare now, but it's here He drove it back immediately got the car drove back to Las Vegas 10 hours drove through the night Like a champ and it's sitting in the garage and it's pretty sick. We got to post some photos of it. When you're what is it? What is it, baby? What is the term? A 1974 Chevrolet C10. Sick. Do you know what that is? Yeah, I think I mean, I know what like a 70 Chevy looks like. Square body is the term I keep hearing.

Oh, yeah. What color is it? Is it two tone? Does it have like decals on the side? It's no decals, but it is two toned. It's like tan and orange. Oh. Is that the correct terminology? It's very cool. I think it will be for sale soon.

So he bought it to what? Yeah, I'm taking a 15% commission though. I want to say send me a picture of it. Then we can put it in the show. It is a very like California beach truck. I feel like. Yeah, why are you selling it then? If it's so the show. It is a very like California beach truck, I feel like. Yeah, why are you selling it then if it's so cool? Because this is what he does, you know?

He just restores shit and then sells it? Yeah. Can't keep it all or you don't make any money. Yeah, I guess that's true, dude. But driving a 74 truck 10 hours overnight is a bold move, Cotton. He literally showed up at 9 a.m. as I was opening my eyes and I was like, holy shit, no sleep, no sleep.

And now he's running errands for you? Jeez Louise. No, he's going to see his friend. Don't, don't. You got this guy wrapped. We can't make him seem that great. He's going to see his buddy and he may bring me food home, you know?

Got you wrapped around my finger. Will you please bring me some groceries and maybe some snacks? That would be great. Do you have to drive your old truck to get me snacks? God, I should have been a singer. You really should have.

Missed my calling. And a songwriter. So I am also not in Costa Rica anymore. I'm in a hotel room. The curtains are something. They are. Do you like how I'm like kind of Tonal.

Color coordinated with like my tan skin, my tan shirt on, and the tan background. I wouldn't even call it curtains. I would call them drapery. Oh yeah, these are drapes for sure. Drapery. Yeah, and then the drapes for sure. Drapery. Yeah, and then the cuck chair. Do you see the cuck chair right there?

I see a little bit of it, yes. You could be anywhere, really. Let's talk about the cuck chair, because I think it's such a weird, funny thing that every hotel room has. It's true. Okay, so if you don't know what a cuckold is, it's someone who watches their significant other get railed by someone else. Okay.

I can't put it any softer. What a word gold. It's a cuck. Yep. Yelp. Calling someone a cuck is very funny. It's so mean You know, it's like see you next Tuesday, you know, it's a little like that I feel like see you next Tuesday's real sharp unless you're like British or Australian Well, I was gonna say the amount of times I hear that word. I've just become desensitized

Is Matt still there? No, he just walked out. Okay. I, I need an Australian to be like I might all you Americans can say it just say it. Yeah Oh, he he said like they mean Dom says it to my mom's husband like it's just so common in Aussie culture It's it's dawn Australian Yes, I never talked to him. So I don't know. Oh, yeah, he's an Aussie I mean, he doesn't talk to me because he knows that I have a special relationship with this. Oh, yeah, that's it He's very threatened Yeah, they say it just so casually like every other friggin word, you know, yeah, it's a term of endearment

Yeah, truly. It's it took some getting used to for me because I just grew up Being taught that word was just the most terrible, awful word you could say.

Yeah, but anyways, if you guys don't know where the cuckold chair is, it's every hotel room has this one chair that's in the corner that faces the bed. And it's where the cuckold has to sit and watch his significant other get railed. And it's really weird when you start notice like every hotel you go room you go to you're like, there's a cuckold chair. It's

so much so that my buddy Jim, my buds growing up, every time he travels a lot for work, he loves to send us in our group chat, the cuckold chair, just so we know. And he's like, man, this is a good one. Or like, this is not a good one, you know? Anyway, so now every time you see it, you're gonna be like, man.

And you know, obviously it's not just for that. It's also for reading and lounging. But mainly just know that someone sat there and watched their beloved get loved. I don't love it. I don't love it either. That's why I don't sit in them. French Lick, Indiana. French Lick, Indiana. Wow. Baby flew in the Louisville, Costa Rica to Houston to Louisville to then drive to French Lique. So paradise is clearly over. Paradise is over.

If you could wrap it up in one word, what would it be? I'll give you a couple. Different is the first one I can come up with. It is very different. Now the mission statement is still the same of like trying to get people to get engaged at the end of it, you know, people finding love. But the journey of which they go on to find that love

is so much different than in years past. Mm. I liked it. I will also say like, it's going to look like a completely different show. Wow. Like, not in the terms of like, the people are gonna be different. Like, not in the terms of

like the people are gonna be different. Like, obviously, there's me me and Jesse and Hannah and people from the past. Obviously, the location is different. The location is different. But then also the thing that the production company always use these certain cameras and they were just really, really old, like antiquated. And the cameras that they use for this show is like what they use onated. And the cameras that they use for this show is like what they use on movies.

And so I saw some of the cuts and stuff, and it looks so cinematic. Like, it is, it's, I'm like, I don't know what show I'm watching, but this is not paradise. This is like a crazy, the slow-mo and the sexiness and like the way that they can move the camera. Like, it's crazy.

It's just gonna look like a completely different show. I don't know how people are gonna take that. Some people have a hard time with change, but I think change is good. And I feel like Paradise has been on long enough. We need a re-judge. I agree. I'm in both camps, right?

I'm 41 now, so when you start getting older, you start getting scared of change. There was an internal turmoil going on in my life while filming this show being like, but I like the old type way. But then I'm like, this looks so cool. So I'm excited about it. This is a new production company. So who knows how what they're going to cut, what they're going to keep

and all that kind of stuff. But I'm excited for it to be different. So different is the first word I would say. And then the other word that I would describe it as sexy. It's always sexy, but like with these new cameras, it looks so hot. I don't know how to describe it other than like, and it sucks that like I'm on camera with these new cameras.

You know, I like the old ones that like does just show every single crease every face because I read that every poor. And also, so this is the first year where they were like. Makeup for you every single day. Wow, because it used to just be for Jesse or just before Chris. But now that Hannah was there, she was like, I'm getting glam. So then they were like, well, we can't exclude Wells. So like the first week I was getting makeup.

And then after that, I was like, what am I doing? It's so hot out there. This is all just coming off of my body immediately. This is the dumbest thing in the world. So I was like, I'm not doing it. So you're just ditching it? That's why I was like, let me get a tan as quickly as humanly possible,

and then no more makeup. That's true. You're just gonna raw dog it going forward. But look how good my skin looks when it's tan. It does look nice, it does. I think on camera, the only thing that I think you could maybe just, you know, I know it's over, but maybe next time, just a little powder, you know, to decrease the shine. They tried to do that. There's no fighting it, Brandy. It's, um, it's two million percent humidity.

It's true. Boy, I could use some humidity right about now. My nose has like got dried blood in it every morning. Oh my God, yeah, cause you're in the desert. It's terrible. Oh my God. I hate the desert. I do. You do?

I hate Palm Springs. I hate Vegas. I like going there. Then I'm always just like, oh, you got a card and like, oh my gosh. I can't deal with this. I do like high desert though. And I have the same problem. I get blood bugs. I can't stand blood bugs. Every morning. I'm just

digging out the blood bugs. Yeah, it's terrible. Oh my god. Yeah, it's tough. Have you started your residency yet? I did. Tell us all about it. Let's start the show. Let's show the show. Then I've got two nights under my belt. But yes, let's start the show. I think it's you. Bros and ho hoes you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with wells and Brandy Because I'm in French lick Indiana and Brandy's in Vegas How many shows have you done to two shows how'd they how'd they go? Two shows under my belt, got the third one tonight.

Okay, how'd they go? It has been a wild ride, let me tell ya. When I tell you I have spent every second of the last three days doing something to prepare for the show, it is not an exaggeration. Like everything that could have gone wrong the first couple days I was here went wrong. I've never done this before.

I've never done a DJ set in a venue like this. First of all, no one's done anything in a venue like this. This fear is unlike any arena, any stadium, any theater, anything I've ever been in. So I'll get to that. Let me just tell you, the first couple of days I was here, I had two days, really a day and a half, get my gear delivered and taken to the venue

and get my merch delivered and taken to the venue. And my wardrobe part of it was sent here and just like nothing got here. Like everything, nothing arrived basically, or it did, but I couldn't get to it. So like I have three pieces of gear and one of them showed up and the other two were at FedEx, but like it wasn't under my name so I couldn't pick it up. So we were literally scrambling the morning of the show, trying to rent gear in Vegas, which thank God we are in Vegas

because we could get it, but it was just, we didn't have decks until like an hour before the set. Like it was wild. I had't have decks until like an hour before the set. It was wild. I had my wardrobe custom made. So a couple of the pieces got sent to this fucking house. I guess the package was so small. These houses have metal mailboxes with keys. And the last time I've had a mailbox like that was when I lived in an apartment building,

you know, where you have a key to your mailbox or whatever. They put it in the fucking mailbox. And so I messaged the Airbnb host and I was like, hello, I had a package sent and it's in the mailbox. Where's the key? And he responded back and he was like, I don't have it. What do you mean you don't have it? Do you not own that?

Like, what do you mean? And he was like, it'll take me two weeks to get the key. Two, two, two weeks? Did you steal this house? Are you Airbnb-ing it illegally? Why don't you have the mailbox key? And why would you rent something as a longterm rental and not give someone access to the fucking mailbox?

Are you crazy? Panic. What was sent to it? Top, all the tops. So I had all the pants with me, none of the tops. So we were about to be just like new titties out at the sphere because I didn't have any tops. Panic.

So we ended up writing the mailman a letter and taping it to the mailbox, praying to God he would just take the package out and leave it, right? And praise God he did. So I find the morning of the show, we were like at like 11 a.m., we were just like, well, we got to go to the venue, but I don't have the clothes. And so we were just waiting, hoping the mailman would come through. And he fucking did like literally in the last minute. It was nuts. So things like that, just everything that could go wrong kind of did and then, oh, Matt's back, how nice. As the opener, I don't get much.

I don't get much time, I don't get much of a sound check, I don't get much anything. And it's because it's Kenny's show and it's Kenny's world and we're all living in it and that's the way it should be. So I barely got any sound check night one. And what they don't fucking tell you about the Sphere is that, especially on stage, what you hear if you don't have monitors in is so delayed.

And depending on where you are in the Sphere, everyone's hearing the sound at a different moment and time. So it's just fucking wild. And I don't wear in-ears when I DJ, I wear headphones. You know, like most DJs wear headphones. That's what everybody sees, everybody associates. And that's what I'm comfortable with. But my headphones don't block out. They're not noise canceling to that extent, right? Where they're blocking out the bleed. So I just couldn't hear anything. And I was like, well, I'm going to go no headphones and just hear what they're hearing. And I was trying to use

my headphones night one, like here and there to mix and it was just fucking wild. Like I couldn't hear anything. And so I'm pretty sure when I would talk and like I count down to drops and stuff and tell people to jump and put their hands up. And I'm pretty sure I was like a second and a half delayed everywhere all over the set. You know what I mean? Because I can't hear. Matt was even saying like the screens, right? Like when I'm singing along or something it's delayed because everything's like, but it's only delayed if you stand in the pit and

if you're up high in a suite, it's not delayed. Like it is really just the craziest shit in the whole world this year. So all that to say, I then night two rolled around and I got some in-ears and had about two minutes of a sound check to practice with in-ears that I haven't worn in a decade since I was in a band. And it was better, right? Like it's, I'm hearing the music in real time, which is what I need to be able to mix and talk to everybody, but I can't hear the crowd at all.

So I can't hear if everyone's singing along. I can't hear if they're pumped about it. I can't hear if they're not. I can't hear if they're pumped about it. I can't hear if they're not. I can't hear if they're heckling me. I can't hear anything. So it was interesting. Like last night was, I think the set was better. I think it sounded better. I hate not being able to hear everybody and that when you were in your monitors, like you feel very disconnected from the crowd because you just feel like you're in like a bowl by yourself kind of thing. So I'm just still figuring it out. But overall, like it's been fun.

But I think it's just gonna be such a learning curve. Every show I think is gonna be hopefully better as we figure it out. And hopefully by the end of the 15 show run, it's figured out. All right, we've all got way too much going on. I call this the busy season. I don't have a lot of time to go grocery shopping or to cook healthy meals at home. And that's why I use Hungry Root.

And I love shopping at Quince. If you guys aren't familiar,

Quince has incredible items that are super high quality, but they're priced a lot lower than a lot of other places have very similar items. And lately I have been loving clothing that is made of a hundred percent cotton. And Quince has so many items available that are just that. I am such a sucker for basics. I love basics because I can rotate them in my wardrobe and wear them with everything.

And I recently purchased the 100% organic cotton boxy crewneck t-shirts. I also purchased a bunch of 100% cotton bralettes. They have a sports bra style that I like to sleep in and they also have a really cute scoop neck bralette with more of a spaghetti strap that's cute to even just wear as like a crop top with shorts. But it's so comfortable and breathable and made of quality materials. I will be shopping on quince before I go anywhere else for my summer basics.

Kenny's amazing, by the way. At his show, we stayed, the past two nights, we stayed and watched the whole thing. It's fucking wild. Have you been in the Sphere? You haven't. No, I've seen it. It is so crazy.

And like the videos on TikTok of Sphere shows are cool, but it is nothing like being in there. So we sat in one of the upper suites the first night and then we sat in a lower suite last night. The lower suite was much better, like because you're like down in it more, you know what I mean? So I feel like the pit's cool and it's the energy is better, right? Everyone down there's partying, but I think the best seats are just above the pit in that like, I don't know what it's called, but like that like symphony row almost, you know, where you're like a little above everything, because then you feel like you're up in the middle of it. And the visuals are crazy. Everything just feels like it's coming

at you. Like it feels like you're on an IMAX ride times a million. Kenny's intro, like you guys have to make sure you will get there to see me up. But like you have to be in your seats for the intro, because it's so fucking cool. Like he did such a good job with it. And there's just so many moments throughout the show that are so cool. I would say my one piece of advice if you're going to the sphere to see a show is make sure you look up often. Because I think you can get used to just looking at the stage or looking straight.

But if you look up straight above you, there's so much cool shit going on up there that you would totally miss if you didn't take the time to look. So that would be my advice. Yeah, it's wild. You gotta come see a show. I'm so curious.

I would love to get a poll. Kenny's audience and who's on drugs. Because I feel like the Kenny audience isn't on drugs, you know, they're drinkers or whatever But I'm like, I just would love to like one night be like who hears on drugs, you know Because they dead and co was just there and I imagine everyone's on drugs for that one Everyone's got to be on drugs. Yeah, I want I haven't seen dead and co with John Mayer, but I really want to see him Yeah, yeah, it looks sick I haven't seen Dead and Co with John Mayer, but I really want to see him with them. Yeah, it looks sick.

Some of Kenny's visuals remind me a little bit of the Dead and Co visuals, and Kenny's vibe is very hippie, beachy. His whole thing is like- Did you go to a Dead and Co show? No, I haven't. My first time in the Sphere was night one. Yeah.

Crazy. Crazy. I know. Well, I'm sorry that's been such a pain in the ass. It's just been stressful. It's been very stressful and I was I was the most nervous night one that I've ever been doing anything just because I had no idea what to expect like zero. Totally. You know what I mean? But last night was better. So, this

week was week one. This week's shows fell on different nights because it's Memorial Day weekend. So going forward, we have shows every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday night. Got it. Yeah. I'm excited to come see and good luck and hope you get that key to the mailbox. I'm never getting the key, but thankfully the mailman hopefully knows now. Please don't put packages in there because I can't get them. You can also probably have him open up the mailbox to get those packages out.

Well, I couldn't. I tried for two days to like catch him, you know, and I just he comes at different times, which is so annoying. So that's when I wrote the letter. If you come visit and see a show, are you going to stay in the Mormon house or? Yeah. Are you freaked? No, I'm going to come stay in the Mormon house. I'll see if Sarah will come and then we'll soak in there too. There you go. I'll put you guys in the room with two beds. Will you jump on the bed? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll put you guys in the room. Will you jump on the bed? Yeah. Yeah. I have Matt jump on the bed for you guys, you know, get some.

Oh, my God. You'll trample me into the ceiling. That giant. Oh, Lord. Oh, the other thing I want to say about this here. So a couple of wife tears have been messaging me about Mount merch. I'm going to post some photos of the merch today. That was something else that I don't think all of it showed up night one, which was a fucking nightmare. But now we have it all. But they only sell my merch at certain stations.

There's like 20 something merch stations throughout the sphere, which is crazy. And they only have mine at like four or five. So I'm gonna post, I'm gonna post like maps of like where you can get them and everything. But it turned out cute. My favorite is the tank top. I made a cute little girls tank top that says giddy up on it.

Then we also have this like tour t-shirt, like big oversized vintage looking like tour shirt with me on it. And it's very cool. Matt's been wearing it every night, like my number one fan that he is. So if you want to get merch, level two West location, level six merch open to all guests. And then level three is for people who have access to suites. So I'm gonna post all this, but people have been asking

because I don't think it's very easy to find. Do you have like a website where people can go buy it if they don't go to the show? Right now it's exclusive Sphere merch, but after the shows are over, if we have anything left over, we'll put it online and then probably make new stuff for an online store. Because now that I've got a couple pieces, now I love it. I love doing the merch.

So I think we'll sell this till it runs out and then do new stuff for the rest of the summer. But the tanks are so cute. I'm loving them. Nice. We're going gonna post the photos today. Well, do you have some favorite things bro? Bro, I don't because this is all I've been doing. Fair enough. I figured that was gonna happen. I got into French

lick last night. Okay, French lick. I got into French lick last night, which means I do you think they called it that because the French were licking people? On my anniversary. That's when I get a French lick, you know, that's the only time. No, I think it has to do, it's got a little bit of a sulfur smell here.

There's a lot of springs, I think, and a lot of like sulfur springs. And so I think there's a lot of salt in the water and everything. And I think it has to do with, you know, deer like go lick salt licks and stuff. Horses do that as well? I have no idea if any of this is true. In my mind, this is just what this is. I don't think so. Let's look at it. I want to give it a chat GPT. It's a good theory, but I don't think you're right. But who knows? Maybe I'm

wrong. French Lick Indiana got its name because it was originally a French trading post established near a natural mineral spring and salt lick frequented by animals. Yes. Wow. The area was known as French Lick due to its association with French fur traders and salt lick, which became a gathering place for wildlife. Huh? Suck it, Branda. Fine. Take a gathering place for wildlife. Suck it, brand die. Fine, I'll take a hit on that one.

All right, can you, that's pretty good that I came up with that with my brain and then I was right about it. I mean, yeah, it's all right. You know how, so I, you know, like one of the things- Was Pilot Pete at my show last night? Oh, was he? Let's see.

Yeah, must've been. Why didn't he reach out to you? Well, he tagged me in a post, but that's all I got. You know how I lie a lot to people? I'll just like make up stories and people that won't know that I was lying. I tried to explain this to Matt the other day that we embellish stories on this podcast. You know, like he can't really believe everything he hears because as Wells likes to say, never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Well, you know, like traveling and I'll be like, yeah, you know, this is like an old

Civil War battlefield. And they'll be like, really? And like, yeah. And I'll start making up. It was like, yeah, it was like 1865, I think. And yeah, it's like famous general named General Sebastian Maniscalco was murdered here. And then people were like, oh, interesting. Cause if you say something with enough conviction, people believe it. And they're like, yeah, okay. I don't fucking know. And then what ends up happening is that I don't tell them

that I'm lying a lot of times. And then like years later, they'll be like, dude, I told someone that little factoid and that's not true. And I'm like, oh yeah, I made that up. So sometimes I think that I make stuff up, I am right and that was one of those times of which I was full of shit but I was right. You were also right yeah. You gotta get lucky sometimes I guess. Broken clocks you know right twice a day right so anyway so what I was saying was that I finally got back into the United States, I can watch stuff in the United States again. And so I have a show for you, Brandi. And really, the main demographic of this of this fan base, sirens on Netflix.

have. I just saw a poster for it. The cast is amazing. Dude, it is so good. So it's the girl from House of Dragons. Millie Aikok. Yeah. Sarah's good friend, Megan Fahey, who was also in like White Lotus. And she was in a show with her other friend where they like, worked for a magazine anyways Anyways, so Millie Aycock is, she's the personal assistant to Julianne Moore's character, which is her name's Michaela on the show. Julianne Moore is like this really rich woman who lives like,

I think it's effectively supposed to be like Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket or something. It's like an island, it's an East Coast island and they have the biggest house on the island. It's the cliff house. And she's married Julianne Moore's character is married to Kevin Bacon. Megan Fahey is like the older sister to Millie Acox character Simone DeWitt. It starts with Megan Fahey his character waking up in jail, being released, and then texting her sister, Siren, Siren, Siren,

which I guess is like their code for like, I need help, I need help. And then she walks home and her sister has sent her a edible arrangement and she's like, fuck this shit. You meet her father too to who's got dementia. And she gets really upset that she was sent a edible arrangement, but it's like still won't return her text. So she goes and gets on a ferry and

she goes to where her sister's working and shows up at her work. And then starts to realize that Millie Acox character is kind of in like a weird cult situation with Julianne Moore's character and like everyone's kind of hypnotized by her and then also Millie Acox character is dating Glenn Howerton who is in Always Standing in Philadelphia. He plays the next-door neighbor who's also like extremely rich. Anyways, the cast is insane. Megan Fahey's character ends up getting arrested because she like keeps on breaking into Julianne Moore's

house to try to get her sister to leave. She gets arrested. And then when she's in the jail cell, the jail cell person is her like jail cellmate is like, Oh, yeah, Julianne's character, like she killed the ex wife, like she pushed her off a cliff. So then it becomes like a little bit of a murder mystery. Oh, cults. It's amazing cast. It's murder. It's mystery. It is. Well, she has to say.

And it's also like obvious, it's very female driven. Like it's just high powered ladies in the world. So I think all of our audience will really like it. But I will say as a boy who likes sports and stuff, I like this show. Okay. So it's a show that you can watch with Matt. Okay, well, we'll see about that.

He's pretty picky about his shows. It's on Netflix right now. And the entire seasons, it's also really funny. OK. Megan Fahey is very, very funny. She's really good. Everyone's really good. Sarah said this, and I kind of agree. She thinks that Millie Acox's English accent is the best she's heard. OK. Any British actor.

And I kind of don't disagree with it. Wow. I got a bone to pick. Okay. With Apple. First of all, Apple, why am I always updating my computer? Why do I always have to, why is there a new thing to update every single time?

Constant. Hey, tonight, can we fucking update? Dude, we just did it two days ago, Apple. Constant. Hey, tonight, can we fucking update dude, we just did it two days ago. Apple Why do I once a year you get an update? I'll give you once a year on New Year's Day. That's when you do the update. I don't need 17. I don't need what am I even running right now? Samoa or like fucking new port 17.3. I don't need a new port 17.4. All right,

nothing's really changing. Stop updating my shit. Also Apple, why do you hate my background? All right. Why is it every time we do an update, you're like, you know what, I don't want your family of your I don't want a picture of your family's your background. You need this picture of redwoods. You probably like redwoods more than your family. No, I don't. I want my family in the background. I don't want the redwoods. Stop changing my bigs here.

And then I gotta go fucking find the bigs here that I use. It's just fucking 15 years old, the entire family. It takes forever to go find it in my... Also, I've got two gigs of cloud space now because I ran out of fucking... This is the levels they've got you at. 200 gigs for 999 or 2

Terabytes of gigs. Yes. I know 200 gigs to 2 Terabytes, do you know that that is a huge discrepancy in size? I think I probably only need 400 gigs, you know But now I've got two terabytes what What am I going to put in there? But the entire encyclopedia Britannica, why do I need this much? It seems excessive.

Also $20 a month now from 10. So that's what's happening over here. Wow. Is your background fucking Redwood Forest? Yeah, it's something. Yeah, it is. Yeah. I didn't want I didn't ask for that. Mine's a mine's

like a map like a mountain scene. Some farmland it appears to me. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's one of my house. My test my laptop one is just I'm in the redwoods. I like redwoods. I do too. I grew up, you know, amongst redwoods. Did you know I grew it? Did you know that I grew a redwood tree in my yard? I did not. I did. And it grew. It's only supposed to grow a foot a year and mine grew exponentially

more than that. So much so by the time that we ended up selling the house, it was probably like 50 feet tall. And it was so big, it was lifting up the house's foundation and they had to cut it down. Oh, that's so sad. I know. I love that. Do you think that story is true? It's possible that it's partly true. It is true. Okay. And I've tried to grow redwoods in LA. They know doesn't happen does it? It's too hot. You don't want to grow there. I don't blame them. Me neither.

No. Redwoods only grow in the places that are the most rad in the world. Ah, is that it? I think so. I think redwoods are like, we're the tallest tree. We're the best tree. All right, we have we have flame retardant bark. Okay, we support each other because we're so tall that our roots have to intertwine to be able to support each other. We only get the best real estate.

OK, so where's that Redwoods? Oh, Big Sur, Santa Barbara, Pacific Northwest, you know, Yosemite. So they're the else. Yeah. Are you going to live in L. in LA forever or where do you see yourself settling? I don't know. Really? I'll live in LA probably for another 20 years. What?

15 years, yeah. Seriously? Do you want to know what my plan was originally? And I do like this plan. You do know you're 41, right? Like you're going to be 41, right? Like it. They're going to be old by the time they leave at least in our 10 years, I'd say.

This was my plan. This is my plan that I wanted to buy. You know, everyone just wants to go home, right? And I wanted to buy a place in Big Sur or Carmel because the Carmel High School, the public high school is so nice. It's so good. I want to buy a place in their Big Sur Carmel and then when my kids get old enough to be able to go to like middle school and high school, then I

move up there and then they get to go there for free effectively because I don't want to pay for really expensive LA schools. No. I also don't know if I want my kids to grow up in LA, having their mom be who they are. And then I feel like those turning like pieces of garbage. Yeah. When are you gonna start popping them out? Oh, I guess Sarah's popping them out. But like, you know, yeah, it's gonna be a couple years. Well, you're getting you're getting old. I just I think you should you know to it

he's fine with it you guys should reproduce though because yeah I know I know I get it but no no okay yeah well let's see do I have anything else here I think that's all I got in my notes I have sirens and then why does Apple hate my home stream picture after an update why do you think I would like redwood trees more than my family? It is a good bit. It is. It's a good bit. All right. Why after years, give us some fuck you very much is. Yeah. We need some more because the last a bunch of them were just like it was like just a matte fan page.

Everyone we love. We love that. Yeah, I guess. Well, just like. Which we love. We love that. I guess, you know. We love that. Anyways, we need some fuck you very much. We need some voicemails. 8586301856 is the number. 8586301856.

Tell us what you guys are watching since we're blowing it over here. Yeah. Also, you know what I would love if there are people like me out there that tell tall tales to people. I would like to hear some of your tall tales. That's a good idea. Yeah. You got to do it for the bit. Yep. Like, here's the

thing. Life is so boring. If you don't go in there and kind of cut it up and mix it up and make shit weird. It's boring. It's the best to do it. The only thing that sucks about being on TV is now I'm recognizable. And so I can't fly into the radar of anonymity of like just being a fucking weirdo. Like the other like last night, I went to the bar. And I sat down and I started telling some weird fucking story. And then someone was like, aren't you that

fucking guy? And I think I'm like, damn it. It's like, it's hard to lie to people when they know who you are, you know? It's true. Socks. Very true. Give us some of your funny stories. Yeah, I like that. Yeah. Hello. Hi. Hi. Do you have any faith things for us as you walk into the

into the theater? I was in such a shite mood because of these freaking headphones. Sirens. Yeah. Mormon wives. Because of Mormon wives, I watched Vanderpump Villa. That was wild. Ooh. Because there's like a crossover.

Oh. was wild. Ooh, because there's like a crossover. Oh, a bunch of the Mormon wives went and stayed at the event, the villain in Italy in season two.

You've got to take it. And she's like, what's the what's the point of having these big five hundred

dollars? They don't work. I'm like, yeah, that sucks. And I know she it. She's like, What's the point of having these big $500 days? They don't work. I'm like, Yeah, that sucks. And I know she's gonna be like, Give me my back. Like, No, no, no. No, take back seas. I like my. That's funny. I have some and they hurt my head. I love them only for travel. Yeah. But if I on a plane, like once I've got them on for over an hour, they start to hurt my head and I have to take them off Mmm, I'm fine with them, but I gotta be honest with you though I have the ones that I have the original Airpods I like them better those they fit my ears so perfectly for like my runs and stuff.
