You guys ever been to a show where the guy who's doing the show did his own introduction?

That's embarrassing. Can you guys hear me pretty well? Yeah? Okay. This to me is the weirdest thing in the world, that you guys care about this at all. Because I thought for sure no one was going to come to this show, but I'm really, really grateful and happy that you guys did. So thank you guys so much for coming. Yeah. Round of applause for you guys, but also what the fuck is happening here? I don't know, man. You know, I lived in Nashville for 12 years. I called it home. My sister who's right here and she's doesn't, you want to come up and talk? No, she still lives here. So I still come here. So this place is like

near and dear to my heart. And like a thing that I don't know, I think all you YFTers know this, but I'm not really sure. The reason why this podcast started was because I was doing a radio show for the river on I heart and I was trying to become Ryan Seacrest, which that didn't happen, so that was cool. But what I was trying to do was get a show syndicated, so I found my most famous friend, which was Brandi Cyrus, and I made her come on my radio show, and we tried to get this show syndicated,

and iHeart did not pick it up. So I said, fuck you guys, I'll make my own podcast. And so that was like eight years ago, and here we are back kind of where it all began. Honestly, the first show we ever did was right up on Music Row. And so it's really surreal to be back here in this place. I counted, there's nine men here. So to all the men, I'm so sorry that your

girlfriend brought you to this, but welcome. Hopefully we can convert you by the end of this thing. Before we start the show, I do like telling stories and I don't like wasting my good stories on the radio or on the podcast because once you tell a story, you can never tell it again because it's just like out there and everyone knows it. So I've been holding onto this one story for very long and I don't want to build it up too much, but it is one of my favorite experiences that happened in Nashville, Tennessee. And every time I come to Nashville, Tennessee, I think about this one thing that happened to me one time. And I just think, oh God, it's never going to be that good. So this is probably 2012,

maybe before that. And I was dating a girl here in Nashville, not named Sarah Highlands. This is pre Sarah. We decided to have a big Thanksgiving dinner and her parents came in town and her grandparents came in town and her cousin and his partner came in town and his, her sisters came in town. And so I was kind of like hosting all of these people at my house and it was this big Thanksgiving dinner. And as like the radio DJ that I am, I was trying to like interview everyone and make everyone feel comfortable and also like make myself feel comfortable. My girlfriend at the time, her cousin, his name was Eric. I'll call him Eric because that was his name. He was a gay man in a relationship with another man and his partner was there, right? And then also her grandfather and grandmother were there. And her grandfather was like,

I thought he was going to die like at the table He's one of those guys that had so many liver spots and was like a skeletor the entire time. And half the time I was like, is he asleep? Is he dead? I'm not really sure. And he was also a veteran. He was one of those veterans that wears the hat that's like, I fucking did a lot of shit for you guys. Respect it.

All the battles that he killed people in is like on a hat. And his name, I'll call him Louie because that's what everyone called him. I was interviewing everyone. I was trying to make everyone feel really good. And then the most amazing thing in the world happened. So I said, Eric, tell me the story of the time that you and your partner got together, right? And so he tells this beautiful story about this meeting. They met online or whatever. And then they went out to dinner,

some restaurant on West End, and it was like love at first sight and all this stuff. And it's just like an awe moment. And Louie, the veteran, says the greatest words I've ever heard anyone say. And he says, I have a story about a homosexual. This is where Dirty Grandpa comes from. Been holding on to this one for a while, guys. I thought the greatest words to start a story were a priest walks into a bar. No, in fact, it's, I have a story about a homosexual.

Is the best way you can start any story at a Thanksgiving dinner with a bunch of people who you don't really know. I go, Louis, the floor is yours. Do tell, please. He goes, well, I was stationed in Hawaii before Pearl Harbor, and my job was to patrol the island. So I would jump in a Jeep with my good friend Jim, and we would drive around the island. So I would jump in a jeep with my good friend Jim and we would drive around the island. But sometimes we would stop and we would go on the top of a mountain and we'd look down at all the glory and splendor that God had for us. And one day it was a beautiful sunset in Hawaii and we stopped on top of a mountain and Jim unzipped my pants. Okay. And he started sucking on my penis. Yes! More, Louie, tell me more. So I'm looking around the room being like,

does anyone know this? The grandmother's right there. Just totally... And it was a beautiful night, and the sun was setting, and I finished up. And then Jim looked over to me, and he said, now it's time for you to suck on my penis.

What happened next? Well, I said, Jim, I'm not a homosexual. What the fuck is happening here? Louie, I don't think I should be the one to tell you this. Cousin Eric, maybe you can come in here. But I'm pretty sure you might be gay. No, no, no. And he said something that I'll never forget, and it was,

it only counts if you do it, not if you take it. It's the greatest night of my life. It's a real life story that happened to me, and I'll never have a better Thanksgiving. All right, should we call the Brandeis? Should we start the show? Is it time? All right, let we call the Brandi? Should we start the show? Is it time? All right, let's do it.

Let's call her up. It's time to call her up. The Brandi. Wells told me he had an intro for the show, but he did not tell me that he was bringing out Dirty Grandpa so early. Okay, so if I'm being honest, I wanted to do an excerpt from Fourth Wing. Oh, jeez.

By the way, how many of you guys out there like Dirty Grandpa? By a show of hands. Oh, look, two. Shit, okay. All right, we got a few. I tried to tell you. Hey, to everyone else. I just need you to shut the fuck up

because nobody asked you, bitch. I just need you to shut the fuck up, bitch. All right. Also, how have we been friends for eight years and you've never told me that Dirty Grandpa's real? Well, I mean... Yeah. I feel like that's not fair.

That's a real story that happened to me. I don't know if I believe you because you're always like, yeah, I spiced it up for the bit. Okay, I'll be honest with you. I think it might have been a hand job. See? But it's funnier. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. It's true.

It's very, very true. How are you doing, Brandi? I'm doing great. What's new? Well, this is new. I've been wanting to do this for so long. I've begged you for years and here we are. So I'm just like really this is new. I've been wanting to do this for so long. I've begged you for years, and here we are. So I'm just really excited about that.

I know. Thank you guys for coming. This is bonkers to me that so many females and very few males want to come to this show. But thank you. Have you noticed that it's like class where nobody wants to sit in the front row? Yeah. You're brave. What's the deal?

Raising your hands, how many people live in Nashville? Oh, that's a decent amount. Okay, so like a majority. All right. Does anyone come from out of state? What's wrong with you? Comes out every Wednesday. You can just listen there.

Did anyone come from outside the country? Shut the fuck up. Canada? What the fuck is happening here? Really? I was going to ask if anybody flew here, so I guess they did. Okay, so you guys are from Saskatchewan. I said it right.

I knew. And then you guys are from Toronto, yeah? Okay. Amazing. Nice. And then everyone else is from the Gulch, 12th South area. East. Franklin.

And I recently learned that it's not called East Nashville anymore. It's now called. East. I don't like that at all. When did that happen? Why did they do that? Is East Nashville too much?

It is. Okay. Yeah. I thought we should start the show with some favorite things, bro. Okay. Great, bro. Do you have some favorite things about Nashville? Because you still live here.

Oh, I mean, I love Nashville. Yeah. How much time do you have? Like, there's a lot of things I love about Nashville. Okay, what's your favorite thing about Nashville? I think my favorite thing about Nashville are the people. Okay. All my friends live here.

Are you just saying that because they're here right now? No, I truly, like, Nashville people are the greatest. Whether you are from here or you moved here and you choose to be here, I just feel like people are different in Nashville, right? And when people visit here, they always say that. Everyone in Nashville is so nice. And I'm like, I know.

Nashville is the greatest. You know? So Nashville, the people. The food's pretty good. Yeah. I wouldn't say it's the healthiest place to eat, but, like, we have really good food options. Yeah.

I also love that I can live on a farm and still be 35 minutes from downtown Nashville. Fair enough. Pretty cool. Today's National Cheeseburger Day, if that's a real thing. Favorite burger in Nashville. I wrote down some. I don't even know if they're still open, but we'll see.

Oh, she's part of the Illuminati. I told you this. He did. Before my parents downsized. Yeah. They lived in Toluca Lake, and he literally lived in the house next door. Like, I could look out the window, and there's P. Diddy's house. So, I don't know.

because we did this on the podcast a couple weeks ago, but I wanted to see how you guys reacted to it. The new alphabet? Yeah. Well, we're going to do it. It's pretty tragic. This is for me. This isn't even for you.

I just want to see everyone's faces when they have to hear this. This is for me. This isn't even for you. I just want to see everyone's faces when they have to hear this. A, B, C, D, E, F, G. So far, so good. All right? I like everything that's happening. This is how I remember it. I don't love the voice, to be honest. I know, but it's okay.

That's not the problem I have with this song. All right, let's continue on. Let's see if the other letters are all right. E-H-I-J-K-L-M-N. All right, don't like that at all. That sucked.

Jesus Christ, Dallas got real real. I feel you. V-W-X-Y-Z. What the fuck is happening here? My sister, who has four kids. We should have made everybody take a shot every time you use that effect, by the way. I want them to be able to get home. True. I want them to live tonight.

True. My sister, who's right here, has four boys. Is that the new alphabet? Is that real? You don't know that yet? Okay. It might not be real and we might have just

gotten irrationally angry about something that doesn't exist, but that's what being an American is. That was a real life American feeling we just got there.

I watched a movie last night. What was it? Called Uglies, which I hate the title of that. Probably a book. Does anyone know? Was this a novel? I'm sure it was like a YA, you know, bestseller. I hate the name of it.

Loved the movie, actually. I like Joey King so much. I really liked the movie. It was like, you know, your typical dystopian future. Everything's gone to shit. We're all just living in AI. And the whole concept is that when you turn 16, you get surgery and become pretty.

So the idea is great because I do feel like that's, unfortunately, just the way we're headed. But I hated that they used the term just like pretty. It just sounded so cheesy to me when they were saying it. Like there were literally lines in the movie that were like, can you make me pretty? And it's like, couldn't we have said that a better way? But I loved the concept and I did like the movie.

A world in which a compulsory operation wipes out physical differences and makes everyone pretty. Uglies on Netflix. Starring Joey King. Can't pronounce that guy's name. Keith Powers. And dude from... Yeah, what's that guy's name?

Chase. Chase. Chase. Crawford. Stokes. Stokes, thank you. I don't know why I was blanking on his name. Who's Chase Crawford?

Gossip Girl. XOXO. He's hot. Sorry, guys. He's hot. I have guys. It's hot. I have a favorite thing. Okay. I finally started watching Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

It's about time. And I know we have some ex-Mormons in the house right now. Wait, you do know? I do. Who's an ex-Mormon? I don't want to call them out. We're not getting called out? There is a couple ex-Mormons.

I can't believe you're not going to pull them up here and question them. Okay. Tell me your name again. Okay. This is actually my time. Yeah, this is your chance. Should we bring her up here for a second? Do you feel comfortable coming up here and talking about Mormonism?

She does not. Come up here. Come talk about the church. Give her a mic. You can leave at any time. Yeah. You know. You're not trapped here like the church. Give her a mic. You can leave at any time. This is, you know. You're not trapped here like the church tries to make you. Okay.

So. Yes. Number one question. Yes. Have you seen Book of Mormon? The musical? Yes. Yes.

Did you like it? I did like it. Okay. But here's the thing. I raised like a theater kid. Yeah.'s the thing. I raised a theater kid. Yeah. Boy. Theater kid.

And also, I have four kids. Yeah. So two of them are majorly into theater. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we pretty much watched everything. Okay. Have you seen Little Shop of Horrors? I would really like to see it in New York, like right now.

You're running out of time. Okay, so did you have to go on a mission? I didn't go. So I converted the church when I was 18. Okay. But I actually met my husband when he was a missionary. Really? And it was against the rules to like date or touch.

To do sex missionary stuff. No, like you couldn't even like talk to them alone or anything. You couldn't? No. And did you have to wear the underwear? Yes. You did? Yeah.

Do you know about the underwear? No, I don't know anything. I'm fascinated. They're special Mormon underwear? Yeah, they're called garments. Temple panties. I thought garments were just like any undergarments. Yeah.

Steve Young, the quarterback, he was Mormon. And when he'd play football games, he'd wear the entire thing. True story. I went on a double date with him once. Steve Young? Yeah. What? One of the great quarterbacks of all time.

He dated my roommate. No way. In college, yeah. When I was at BYU. And did you guys do soft swinging like they do in Secret Lives of Mormon Wives? Did you have sex with Steve Dunn? No. That's what I'm asking.

No. No. Steve was very strict, which I think kind of ended sort of the relationship that my roommate had. Because she was a freak. Because she was fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was fun. He was not very fun. The Mormons aren't fun. Because she was a freak. She was fun. She was fun.

He was not very fun. The Mormons aren't fun. Got it. Got it. Were you ever around people that had multiple wives? No. Do you have any great story

that's going to blow my head back? I can't say that. My husband's ancestors, though, did have multiple wives. Oh, yeah. Yeah. For sure. Which is a little bit weird.

And I have a theory about why everyone's... Like, I feel like when I went to Utah, I'm not from Utah. I'm from Missouri. But my husband is from Utah. But Missouri is the promised land that we're. It's so true. That's what they say.

When I first joined the church, they like the missionary said, oh, well, this makes sense that you would be drawn to this. But because you live in like the. The promised land. The promised land. Like where God's going to come back and that whole thing. Fucking Branson. But yeah.

You guys ever been to Branson? I used to work in Branson. It's gorgeous. It's a beautiful place. Table Rock Lake? Yeah. Do you have any crazy stories though? Honestly, I can't think of any. I pretty much left because of the lgbtq um stance um that was probably the thing that started it for me because um for you um coming

from i have a son that's a dancer i have like i said two kids that are majorly into theater so like I'm very um I was very attached to everybody around me and never saw it as an issue and then the church came out with some really strong um vocal like they always said like hey we're kind of against this but then during the time where I was like if I don't want my son to ever grow up and feel like there's that I, for one second, have an issue with this because I absolutely don't. And, um, and then the church kind of came out with this strong stance on it. And then they wanted me to teach.

I was a Sunday school teacher at the time. And they wanted me to teach the Sunday school lesson on it. And, um, I went to the bishop and I said, I don't want to teach this lesson. Um, I don't want to teach this lesson. I don't agree with it at all. It was basically saying, like, you need to disown your family members that are of that community.

If your parents are, you need to disown them. Like, it was very, and also you won't see them in heaven. Yeah. Basically was where it was at. And that was the lesson I was supposed to teach. And 100% was not going to do that. And stood in front of the class and I was like, hey, they're going to come in and teach you this lesson.

I just want you to know that I disagree with it. As your teacher, I don't support anything that they're about to say. And then I never went back. Like, that was it. Good for you. Yeah. Well, thank you for coming up here. I know that was very awkward.

But no freaky stuff. Like, I really missed out on the parties, it sounds like. You got out too soon. Thank you. Boy, oh boy, she is regretting showing up today. Now I feel bad, because I was going to make fun of Mormons,

but she seems like a stand-up lady. The Secret Life of Mormon Wives. Have you guys started watching it yet? It's terrible. It's like The Hills, but worse. And everyone looks the same. They're all like different shades of Caucasian. They all look like what Hitler was hoping to get at the end of the thing.

Everyone's blonde and blue-eyed. What's amazing to me about this, their whole thing is that they started this TikTok craze called Mom Talk. And they're like, we got to save Mom Talk. The whole first episode is about saving Mom Talk like it's like St. Jude's Hospital or something. No one gives a shit about Mom Talk. I think some people probably give a shit.

Do you know about mom talk? Some moms on the talk, I think they care. I got a soundbite of, the main girl's name's Taylor, and at the end of the first episode, she gets arrested for domestic violence. So she's a real stand-up lady, all right? She also is the one who went online

and told everyone that they were soft swinging um and like outed everybody which beautiful but also terrible and so she went on the view uh and joy behar asked her about this which i thought was just beautiful and i thought i would just play it for you right now and what is soft swinging explain that so swinging is where you fall on switch partners like swingers right yes us, we, like, opened up our relationship of, like, playing games and being intimate all in front of each other. So we weren't, like, full-on switching per se, you know? Yeah. Yeah, so that's why they called it soft-swinging, which I didn't come up with that term, by the way.

That was, I was told that. Okay, so that's an orgy, just so you know. That's, you can call it whatever you want, you know? You can call murder, like, soft disposal of a body. But it's murder. And if you get together with a bunch of people and you fuck each other. In front of each other.

And then go, you know what would be good? A reality TV show. So anyways, I want to watch that a lot. And you guys are going to be hearing a lot about that. But that's my favorite thing this week. Yeah. I mean, let's be honest. It's really exactly like The Bachelor.

Everyone just goes on there to get Instagram famous. Well, the funniest thing I ever heard about The Bachelor was, I think it was like a Jimmy Kimmel thing, where it was like, explain a television show in like seven words or less. And someone tweeted out, a polygamist slowly narrows it down, which I thought was beautiful. explain a television show in like seven words or less. And someone tweeted out, um, a polygamist slowly narrows it down, which I thought was beautiful,

which I thought, uh, that's a perfect time to bring on our guests. Yeah. I would say the best bachelor we've ever had. Yeah. I would also say the most handsome, the tallest was Matt James taller. Maybe. I would also say that. The most handsome. The tallest.

Was Matt James taller? Maybe. I think maybe. Second tallest. Second tallest. One of my best friends in the world. Mr. Benjamin Higgins. Hey buddy. Hey Ben. Hey guys. I was back there in the back and I was like this is going to be awesome. They're talking about people fucking each other, and then I'm going to be brought up on stage.

Look right down the barrel of that camera. This is awesome. It's very Bachelor of you to be wearing loafers with no socks on. I knew somebody was going to say something. Very Bachelor. I'm going on a golf trip after this with Wells, and I thought, what's the best shoe to wear on a golf trip? And I thought loafers. And then I put them on, and I was standing at my in-laws house.

I was looking in the mirror and I was like, I know one of you is going to say something immediately when I get up here. Yeah. Well, hold on. I think that we were going to have drinks brought in around this time. Yeah. Just to make my interest a little more exciting. Well, because I thought, you know, that's happening is open. If that's happening, let's do it. Yeah, yeah, cool.

Thank you so much for coming to the show. I'm pumped to be here. I have a story. He wouldn't be here if he wasn't here for golf. 100%. Right? That's not completely true. How come I know the two of you?

By the way, how this all worked was. They're both here for golf, just so everyone's clear. So Ben and I are going to go play in a golf tournament. But this is like my college buddy's golf tournament that I've been doing for years. And somehow Ben has weaseled his way in here. And so we're going to Birmingham tomorrow. But I was like, hey, if you're going to be in Nashville, please come on my show. And we're not paying him at all.

And that makes me feel bad. But drinks are free. Anyways, so Ben has been to my country club in Los Angeles. When you went, was Joe Pesci there? Joe Pesci was there, and then Richard Kind was there, which my wife and I have been watching only Murders in the Building. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And every time he comes on, I'm like, I've been in a sauna with that guy.

Thank you. You went to the sauna that day? Yeah, I've been in a sauna with that guy. Thank y'all. You went to the sauna that day? Yeah, I've been in a sauna with that guy. What do we got going on here? Okay, so I have two great stories. You guys obviously know who Joe Pesci is, right? This is called your favorite margarita. I know.

So yeah, anyways. I don't know about me. Oh yeah, here. When everyone gets them, let's all do a cheers together, okay? So everyone knows who Joe Pesci is, right? No, I don't. Yeah, you do. No.

Okay, the bad guy who's short in Home Alone. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. Really? I didn't know his street name. Joe Pesci. I once played golf with Joe Pesci, and this is going somewhere, I promise you. And he's kind of like the mascot at our country club,

and I was playing golf with him, and he kind of jumps around, and so he kind of jumped into our group. And at some point, he asked someone who the fuck I was. Who is this person? And so someone was like, this guy is the bartender in Bachelor in Paradise. And Joe is getting older now, and I don't think he knows the distinguish between bachelor, Bachelorette, Bachelor in Paradise. So

he thinks on it long and hard and he finally taps me on the shoulder a whole later and he goes I gotta ask you something kid. Did you fuck all them broads? Which was like one of my favorite things I've ever been asked in my entire life. And you guys know as YFTers that like,

let the truth get in the way of a good story. And also he's old. You don't know when he's, you know, I don't want him to die anytime soon, but you don't know how many days he's got left. And I wanted him to have a good story, you know, at the end of his days. So I said, Joe, yeah, I fucked all them broads. And he goes, good for you. I fucked all them broads. And he goes, good for you, kid.

Good for you. So now that we have Ben Higgins up on the stage, I have one question for you. Did you fuck all them broads? I did not, no. Oh! Yeah, I'm not that cool. Uh, let me find the boo button. Uh, I don't have one. Let me find the boo button.

I don't have one. All right, continue on. I did want to invite my in-laws tonight. Thank God they didn't come. When Wells called me and said, hey, would you come to our show? And I was like, that would be awesome. I'd love to. And I haven't seen Brandy in forever, and I love Brandy so much.

And we live in the same city for a bit. Got to see each other a bunch back then. My mother-in-law loves Brandy so much. And we live in the same city for a bit. Got to see each other a bunch back then. My mother-in-law loves Brandy too. They've worked together on some really cool like projects that are actually good for humanity. And Brandy has been a huge help on those. But, and I actually want to share a story later. Remind me to share this because I don't think you realize how much of an impact you've had in my life. When Wells asked me, I said, I would love to invite my in-laws to tonight because I don't get to see them that often. And he goes, this is my show.

You don't want to be there. So I Ubered. I Ubered up here from their house in Franklin. You could have just ridden with me. Huh? You could have just ridden with me. I know. I should have.

I'll take you home. Thank you. I think you're going to leave actually. Oh, come on. He's married. Does everyone have a drink? All right. Let's all just raise our glasses to all the YFTers for coming all the way out here.

Thank you so much. You're the best. Cheers. Oh, yours is a fancy glass. Maybe I won't be driving home. It is a good drink. I know. Ben hosts a show called Almost Famous with Ashley Adkinetti where they talk about The Bachelor.

right now okay when i was standing back there i figured you're gonna ask this question i have two things that have been consuming my mind over the last five days. Okay. The first one I'd love to get an answer to tonight because I think somebody out here could give me the answer. The other one is I've been deep into building a nursery and I have pictures to prove it. So I am expecting my first child

in February. Which is a big deal. It's a little baby girl. This is how great of a human I am. Yeah. We found out a few months ago, we got a little like help in the process. So we found out very early that my wife was pregnant. Immediately. My mom, who is very handy said, Hey, I want to come out and help you paint the nursery. Cause I know you're going to have to do that. And I said, that's awesome. We picked the date. This date was last weekend and she was going to come out for four days and we're going to paint the nursery and build out the nursery.

And that was super something she was super excited about. I was super excited about my wife was going to be gone. So we're going to surprise her with it. And then Wells and I got invited to a golf tournament and I flew out for two days while my mom was painting the nursery without me there. Um, so I got back and now I'm building out a Wayne's coat. Do you know what that is? No. It's like a trim around halfway through the wall. We're building it out because the room's going to be pink,

and then that's going to be white, and it's going to be really awesome. So I've been researching a lot of Wayne's coating and the best ways to do that. That's my favorite thing right now. The second thing. Wow. Do you guys know what he's talking about right now? Yeah, people do.

It's like a thing. I have spent the last 24 hours of my life researching why when somebody calls me on the phone and my alarm goes off, why they can't hear it. What do you mean? You know, like if you're on your phone and you're talking on the phone and you like, you have set an alarm for something, the person on the other end can't hear that going on, but you can. Really? Does nobody else realize this? Am I crazy? Ben Higgins coming to the show with some fire content.

Wow. So these are the two things that have consumed your mind for five whole days. I didn't promise I was going to come up here with radical things. No, I can tell you what it is. What? Well, actually, the sound guys probably can.

I assume that's a mix minus situation that the iPhone has. Yeah. Yeah, mix minus. You should just call me. I still don't know what that means. Also, the two things that are my favorite things that actually are real is my wife and I go to bed very early every night. And we've been watching two shows consistently that we get excited for. Which ones?

Bad Monkey. Oh, that's a great show. Great show. And then also House of Murder. What's the one I just saw? Only Murders in the Building. Yeah. Do you guys watch that show?

Yeah. Yeah, because I made a joke on my Instagram about it. I was like, at what point do you just get another apartment? Everyone's dying in this place. It's a good show. But I guess the rent's really good? Yeah, the rent's really good. Richard kind's in it, uh, which makes me keep watching it. Those are the two things that we're most consistently watching when football is not on. Jess watches football. She falls asleep or she reads her Kindle. She has, she,

if she was up here, she'd say her favorite thing right now is this Kindle stand she bought that has a clicker. And so she lays in bed like, this thing sits over the top of her, and she just clicks. And then she has her pregnancy pillow right now, so it kind of, like, wraps around her. So it's a border, so I don't get anything anymore. There's no touching. And she just reads, and I watch football.

It's great. Yeah. Incredible. Yeah. Wow. No touchy. Just like roommates, like we talked about. Wait, so you brought up Richard Kind.

Do you guys know who Richard Kind is? Yeah. If you don't Google him, you'll know him. Yeah. He's been in like a Just Shoot Me, Larry David show. He's in Only Murders in the Building, and he's a member at the same golf club. And I have a great story about Richard Kind that I wanted to tell.

Have you heard this one? Oh, yeah. I heard the grandpa one, too. And I know it's a real story because you've told me it, like, as we're drinking, like, by a fire. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, because that means it's true. Just because he's told it more than once.

Nothing's ever been lied about around a fire. So you might have heard this story, but I heard it from Richard's side. But the story is George Clooney was going through a divorce. Have you guys heard this story? He was going through a divorce and he was staying at Richard Kind's house. So this is like when he was in his... We hear all the George Clooney divorce stories.

Well, because it was on Letterman and stuff. You guys don't know the George Clooney divorce story? So he was staying at Richard Kind's house while he was going through divorce. And so he was staying in the guest room. In the guest bathroom is where the cat box was, like the kitty litter was, right? The litter box? The litter box, yeah. The cat box.

No? Litter box. I don't have a cat. Is that what we called it? Yeah. Okay. George, I guess, would go into the bathroom and like do his business in the morning he would notice that the cat had pooped in in the litter box and so he would scoop it up

and then he flushed down the toilet so he did this like four or five days and at some point richard kind comes in and he's like i can only do what he says to me always pick up your tea don't be a rich guy pick up your tea don't be a rich guy. Pick up your tea. Don't be a rich guy. So he's like, my cat hasn't shit in four days. So he's freaking out. And so the normal person would say, I've been cleaning it. Don't worry. But George Clooney was like, I don't know what's going on, man. Like another week goes on.

It's the best of them. Yeah. So another week goes by, and he keeps cleaning up the shit and flushing out the toilet. And Richard is losing his mind. And he's thinking, this poor cat hasn't shit in two weeks. So he takes it to the vet, okay? And so the vet's like, I think your cat's okay, but here's some laxatives for your cat. Oh, my God.

And he's like, giving cat laxative in front of george clooney who's like i've been cleaning up this shit i know this cat's fine so then a couple days ago by the cat shitting non-stop so finally after two days richard's like the cat hasn't shit in three weeks. I don't know what's going on. So finally, George goes in the bathroom, and he shits in the cat box. A human-sized shit. So Richard comes back, and he sees the cat box with a human-sized shit. Oh, no!

No, Grinna, this is like ER. Yeah, he's on ER. This is not like, hey, I'm like perfect George Clooney. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Richard scooped up the shit and took it to the vet. He's like, what's wrong with my cat? The vet had to be like, that's human shit, man. Like, that had to be like, that's human shit, man.

It's only good because it's George Clooney. Yeah. It's the meanest story in the world, but it's so funny. It's so good. And I just imagine George Clooney just being like, this is going to be funny. See, I just wonder, like, is this story even true? I don't believe any stories anymore. Everyone's just out here trying to tell a fucking good story.

Doesn't matter if it's true. I've heard that one by the fire, too. Yeah. So it's true. So it's got to be true. It's got to be true. I wanted to bring the YFTers into the show. Yeah.

Do you guys have any favorite things? Yeah? Okay. Wells is coming in. I'm coming to you. Okay. Rachel. I knew you were going to ask this.

And so I came prepared with an answer, but I don't remember the author. But I listen to a lot of audio books because I have a commute to work. That's real reading. See, she said she listens to audio books. She didn't say she reads audio books. I can't decide how I feel about that argument because the app that I listen to is Labro FM. It benefits indie bookstores. So if you're

a big audiobook listener, you can download that and it goes back to like an indie bookstore. Okay, that's cool. And on their social media, they're always like it's reading. We promise it's reading. It's listening. You're listening. Reading and listening are different things. Listen, love's reading. It's listening. You're listening. I can't decide.

Reading and listening are different things. Listen, love that you guys are consuming books. Love it, but you're listening. Anyway, I consume a lot of books. My favorite book of the year was the first book I did this year was called First Lie Wins. And it's a really good audio. I don't remember the author. You'd have to look it up.

But it's a really good audio. I don't remember the author. You'd have to look it up. But it's a really good audio book. So if you're really into, if you need something that's like you know that's going to be, it's a good story, but it's also good audio because sometimes it's a good story, but not great, like storytelling. That one's great. So First Lie wins. I recommend. Thank you for contributing.

Anybody else? Okay, what do you got? What's your name? My name is India. and mine is Child Star, which is a documentary that came out from Demi Lovato. So it's basically like following all the children who went through experiences being famous. And I was actually kind of surprised that this free brand,

I was surprised Miley wasn't in it, because I thought she'd maybe be interviewed and have commentary on just like Hannah Montana and all that stuff. Yeah! Her lawyers were like, no. They couldn't afford Miley for that. Yeah, exactly.

Come on. Anybody else? I was excited to see Noah play at Orville Peck's concert. Noah Cyrus, who's a big surprise, probably my favorite. Love them both. And she said that was the most talented Cyrus sister that she's ever met. Oh, huh. Interesting.

Ben wants you guys to know he's Noah's number one fan. I have a Noah Cyrus t-shirt. I do. I do. You do. For me, it's Greenwood Park, a good novel.

I did listen to it on audible but probably the best reading of a novel i've ever heard on audible it didn't get too cringy it's based in london the accents weren't crazy but uh greenwood park yep totally really good one greenwood park yep hit it up thank you. Anybody else? What I'm gathering here is that like the reader of this audio book is just as important as the story. Yes. Fascinating. Yes. Audio is important. You have one? Okay. My recent favorite artist, her name is Nemesis, N-E-M-A-H-S-I-S. And she just came out with a new album. Very cinematic, very beautiful.

Love it. You should listen. Cool. Nemesis? I don't remember her. Okay, we can do that. Love it. We'll do it at the end, I guess.

Yeah, we can play it at the end. Okay, do you want to, we can either play heads up or we can play the. I think I like the other one. I have questions for you guys. I know, I think I like that one. Okay. We're going to play a little game, guys. We're going to play a game.

Where did I put it? I'm really bad at games. The game's called Truth or Drink, but you don't get the opportunity to not answer it. So it is what it is. Oh, well, we could just drink. You have to drink anyways. Huh. You know...

That's the rule. On my other podcast, we have this game called Truth or Toke. Yeah. It sounds like they stole it from this game. By the way i went on that podcast i got so fucking stoned i freaked out so hard did i green out okay any weed now hold up hold up i got peer pressured by mother. When I hang up the phone with Wells, he says, I love you, and I say, I love you more.

Like, I love this man. We've had a lot of good times together. He is one of the closest people in my life to me. I have never known Wells Adams to consume any type of cannabis. Really? Yeah, I don't. I can't do it. He was quite the stoner in his day.

I was. Well, back in the day, but in the last 10 years of your life. So you're saying you went on a podcast. I went on her and her mom's podcast. Yeah. Would you say no to my mom? Definitely not. Do, do, hey, real quick, real quick, real quick.

For all the YFTers, do your mom peer pressuring me into smoking weed? Wales, just one time. You can't come all the way over here and not smoke weed with me. Please, Wales. Wales, you're my favorite. That was it. Please, this just won't be as fun if you're not high.

Wales. And she's so beautiful, you have to say yes. And then I had an existential crisis and I freaked out after that. I remember during that podcast, I was like, they were playing like a voicemail or something, and I was like, I'm not listening to any of this. I gotta get the fuck out of here. I gotta go to In-N-Out Burger.

All right, so this is called Truth or Drink, all right? You guys have to answer this question as it pertains to me, okay? In our relationship. Brandy, I'll start with you. What would you never, ever want my help with? Fashion advice. You do look nice today. I think I look nice! Thank you! The shoes are a little questionable, but the rest

of you... Thank you, Dallas. It's this for me. This. These are horse riding shoes! I don't like it. These are ranch. No. They're ropers. They're not good ones.

For him. For him. Thank you, Dallas. I think they're a little feminine. You do? They're a feminine? They're a little feminine. They're masculine. No.

They're boots. No. No. The men that are out roping, they're wearing square toe, steel toe, square toe. Yeah. No. All right, all right, all right. Ben.

I disagree. What would you never, ever want my help with? Construction. Okay, so here's what I'm hearing. These shoes are effeminate, and I can't do manual labor. By the way, do you know what my job was in high school? Tell us. I was a roofer.

All right? That was a damn good one. Wow. Your sister is fact-checking that. At the Brant's. That's not true. I roofed the entire Brant's house. Woo!

Do you want a microphone? My sister's over here trying to. She's telling the truth. I root the entire Brant's house. Woo! Do you want a microphone? My sister's over here trying to... She's telling the truth. I like it. Yeah, fair enough. Okay, we'll start with you, Ben.

Have you ever pooped yourself as an adult? Yes. Yeah. Do you want to elaborate or no? I can elaborate if you want to.

That's not about you. Yeah, I was going to say these all the time to go back to you. Do I know a story of Wells pooping himself as an adult? Yes, I do. You guys all know that story, actually. We do.

I'll just tell you a snippet of how my mornings work. I wake up at 6 o'clock every morning, and I go work out in a heated HIIT class. And then I drive home. It's a 20-minute drive to where I work out at. And there's like a perfect timing that like, and if traffic hits, like that timing gets thrown off and then emergencies occur. Yeah.

So yes, I have. So did it happen? That's not even that crazy. Did it occur in the car? Yes. What the fuck is happening here? Have you moved yourself?

No. I've peed in my pants a little a couple of times laughing, but that's about it. Is it lonely in your ivory tower of perfection? No, it's great, actually. I love it up here. Okay, Brandy. Describe the first time we met. What was your honest first impression of me? Was this at my house? That's the first time we met. What was your honest first impression of me?

Was this at my house? That's the first time we met, right? My house. Yes. Kickball. Yes. Yeah. I thought, this guy thinks he's really funny,

but Sarah says I should give him a shot, so I guess I'll have his fucking jokes for a day. And here we are. So you loved me. Oh, my God, I loved you so much. Yeah. You too we are. So you love me. Oh my God, I loved you so much. You too, Ben, right? I did.

You gave me my job at iHeart. So yes, I loved you a lot. Yeah. Do you guys know that story about how Ben got his job at iHeart?

You don't know this? No. You want me to tell you or you want to tell it? I want to hear your version of it. So my version of it is I was the bachelorette

before you go on The Bachelorette. And he's like, Wells is an incredible host. And he's talented. And he does a great job at it. And I've always known this. And I saw him on the show. And I'm like, this guy's really funny. He's likable.

And we show up to iHeartFest in Vegas, which is a huge event. And I'm sitting on a panel with like five other reality people in front of, you know, a thousand people, let's say, in like an auditorium. And Wells is hosting that panel. So I show up in the green room and all of a sudden I heart starts to panic a little bit because Wells hasn't shown up that morning. He's not there. And they text Wells, they text Wells, they can't get a hold of wells and so abc or no iheart comes up to me and they say hey ben do you feel comfortable hosting this panel wells is not showing up i said yeah i'll host it like give me the cards and so i did it probably very averagely

compared to what he would do but i did it and afterwards they said hey we have a show for you that we want you to do wells was too hungover and slept through his alarm. No. Who's head shocker? I heard that. No. I was in love with a professional poker player. And I had a hard time leaving.

He was playing poker with a friend. Yeah. And now Ben is a millionaire. And you don't have a job. I am unemployed. Brandy, what's the weirdest thing about me? The weirdest? Yeah.

Did someone just meow? The weirdest. I don't know. You're like not really a weirdo kind of guy. All right, Ben, you got one? Weirdest thing about you? Yeah. I think how much your mood can change based on your performance in something.

Is that weird? No, it's not. I just think it's the most recognizable thing in Wells. But the question was, what's weird? Just so we're clear. I will say Wells is not weird. Right? He's not really a weirdo.

What you see here on the show and what he represents here is who he is all the time, which is probably what we love the most. I love that answer. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. I don't know. It would be like a hidden thing, I think.

It's something that people would be unexpected by, but everything he's doing up here when I'm standing back there, I'm like, gosh dang it, I have to go up there and sit and he's going to ask me about having sex with a bunch of people. Did you sleep with all them? And that was his first question to me. Did I sleep with everybody? I want to start with Ben with this one. What's the most amount of money you'd lend me?

Goodness. I would loan you as much as you asked me for because I know you'd want to pay it back. Wow. I would. And you know that's true. I believe that. I believe that.

Brandy? I trust him. Maybe like 500 bucks if it was for a really good reason. A really good reason. But Wells and I bet against each other a lot, and Wells is one of my only true friends that would pay me back as soon as we leave the bet. Okay. I like that.

I'll start with you, Ben. Who's the smartest person here? I mean, I think Satterfield has to be up there. His songwriting is incredible. Yeah. If you want to listen to his music, you have to start listening to it. He has a song that I listen to. It's on my playlist about bringing a knife to a gunfight.

And it's called, yeah, Heart to a Gunfight. Sorry. But it is amazing. So you have to listen to his music. It's special. And he's recently single, boys and girls. There you go. Yeah, boys and girls.

Listen, who knows? I could swing either way. This question's also not about you. I know. No, he wanted it to be about him. I know. He asked it hoping I would say, Wells is the smartest person in the room.

Well, no, I feel like I can answer this one too. I think what I was going to do up here, who do Wells is the smartest person in the room. I feel like I can answer this one too. I think what I was going to do up here, who do I think the smartest person is? Out of the three of us? Yeah.

Oh, definitely me. I would agree with that. Yeah. I would agree with that. I think so too, actually. Yeah. 100%. Yeah.

No questions. But we have college degrees. Well, that just goes to show you. Last one. Brandy, you can go first. Okay. Do you think you're better than me?

Yeah. Yeah! What the fuck is happening here? You know what, Wells, though? I'll give you this. Yeah. I couldn't do this show without you. Yeah.

I really couldn't. Higgy Baby? Do I think I'll give you this. Yeah. I couldn't do this show without you. Yeah. I really couldn't. Higgy Baby? Do I think I'm better than you? Yeah. No. You're asking? He's the most self-deprecating person on the planet. No, no question.

Even though he is, he would never admit it. Not even close. I'm just kidding. I do love you, Wells. We're equals in my eyes. Oh, that's a good question. You would crush me at golf. Great question. That's for sure. Actually, that's a good question. Great question. Welles and I actually, uh, this is get boring.

Nobody likes to listen to golf talk and I get it. Um, but Wells and I love to golf with each other. It's actually how our friendship was built from the show. We would go on trips and all of a sudden I found out that he was a golfer. And so now our friendship has really been built around the idea that we golf together, which has been awesome. And it's one of my favorite things to do. We were at the Solheim Cup this last weekend, and Wells and I were sitting there, and we were talking about who would win in a golf match. Wells is a better golfer than me. He's a lot more skilled.

He has a lot more upside. He has a lot more free time. It's too easy. Oh, so it's cool to have a job these days. I don't think you'd disagree that he has a lot more free time than me. But I think the number would be if we golf ten times, Wells would beat me six, and I would win four times. Yeah, it's pretty close.

It's pretty close. Yeah. And this weekend we'll play enough for us to decide this and he'll have to talk about it and I'm going to absolutely murder him.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, I'm not going to have a whole lot on the next episode of YFT just so you guys know because I am going

on this golf trip. But I will give you the recap of Ben and Ben and I are on opposite teams by the way. So we are going to have to go against one another.

But it's been a good friendship builder for us. Absolutely. Yeah, it's been really fun. Yeah. So I'm going to have to watch some shit this week. Yeah, you got to do some work finally. I got to go work in Vegas on Friday. Oh my goodness gracious.

I think that's everything. Should we? No, I do have one story I want to share. Please. I want to hear the story. So if anybody doesn't know this, and I don't think I've ever told Brandy this in person or that she even knows this story, and I am going to take over your show for a second.

Do it. So I was thinking back on my life over the last seven years. And so probably seven years ago, Brandy came with me to Honduras for the first time, which is a place that I have a lot of passion for. So a nonprofit was started when I was like 20 years old with me and a couple of buddies. And it's doing some incredible things. And Brandy, being the friend she is, said, I want to come and see it. And so she came down multiple times. I don't know how many times you've been down there. Three?

Three times. I think so. But she came back and she said, hey, how can I use my platform to do something great for this organization? And so she said, I'm going to do a my platform to do something great for this organization? And so she said, I'm going to do a really cool fundraiser in Nashville. And we did. She blew it out of the park. So I came in for this fundraiser, and I was staying at the Hilton right downtown here,

wherever that's at. And it's right next to Predator Stadium. I was staying at the hotel for this fundraiser specifically. What? Am I crazy? Did I say something stupid? What did he say? I got a music bed for you. Just keep going.

Oh, I hear it now. Okay, that's fair. That's fine. I'm checking into the hotel that night, and there's a hockey team checking into the front lobby. And I'm like, I wonder what hockey team that is. And I said, I'm going to figure it out by going on Instagram and seeing the tag location of who's posted a picture from this location. And I get to my hotel room, and I look it up, and I click on the location, and Pictures That Evening from Predator Stadium shows up,

which is the first picture I ever saw of my now wife, Jessica. And I messaged her, and I said, I don't know if you're single. I don't know if you're ever in Denver, but if you are, I'd love to take you on a date. If you aren't single, then just take this as a compliment. That was because Brandy planned a fundraiser in Nashville, which is the night I first saw her talk to my wife, which is now I'm married to and having a baby.

That's so cute. I don't know if you knew that. Here's another cool thing that came out of that fundraiser. That's how I met my best friend Kirsten, who's in the back. Hey. Magic's in the air. Love everywhere. Truly.

Keys is getting married next year, and she just asked me last week to be her maid of honor. I know. I know. A lot of good things that came out of that fundraiser. There's a lot of good things. You did a great job. They want to go to Africa. Yeah, we're going to Africa.

Why? For her bachelorette because... Cool. Because we don't play around. The strippers in Africa are insane. Oh, you want to talk

about strippers real quick? Let's get into that. By the way, I cut that entire thing out of the episode. Let's get into that again. No, no, no. It's been a hot topic this week.

I'll have you know Thunder Down Under is opening in Nashville. I just got a DM yesterday inviting me to the grand opening. All right. Maybe I'll go do that Thunder Down Under is opening in Nashville. I just got a DM yesterday inviting me to the grand opening. Maybe I'll go do that since boys love strip clubs so much. After party at Thunder Down Under, everybody.

Should we close out the show? He's and I are going to Thunder Down Under. What do you think about that, Ryan? He's back there. I'm just causing turmoil between people left and right. They're going to get married soon. Let's not ruin the relationship. They're still going to get married. They'll be fine.

Should we go out to some musics? Yeah, I think so. Okay. Well, you brought it up. I feel like I can do this in honor of you. Should we do Satterfield? Definitely. Okay, so this is this handsome man in the back, okay?

So you know it's not creepy at all to look at him, you know, slowly bat your eyes at him. you know slowly bat your eyes at him well that was fun it was a good show how was it guys be real with us like worth the flights worth the travel

this is actually really really fun thank you guys so much for coming out for it. Well, that was it for you. Will you do another one? I'll do another one. Only in Nashville, though, with these people. Okay. Uncomfortable with that, by the way.

You can't take this on the road. Oh, really? I loved it. Yeah? Yeah, it was kind of fun. You book it, I'll go. I'll book it, because, you know, I just sit here and don't do much once it's booked. I'm just up to you.

Is there any YFTers out there wanting to say something that they didn't get the opportunity to say for the show? Oh, we love you. We love you guys. We're going to hang out after, by the way. Yeah, so we're all getting drinks. We're going to have drinks. My buddy AJ is going to be DJing tonight. He's standing in the back, one of my besties.
