Episode Date: March 4, 2020

This week on YFT, Brandi is in South Africa hanging out with dalmatian-horses and giraffes, and Wells is trying his best not to make this entire episode about Cheer after finally finishing the docuseries. Brandi has been putting out A+ content while traveling in Africa with a photographer (suh-convenient) as well as Olivia Caridi and her new official boyfriend (you heard it here first... kind of). Wells and Brandi discuss their fave animals and debate the benefits of having a tail. Oh, and of course, they share some new fave things including Stephen King movies and happy Noah Cyrus music! Wells tries his hardest to discuss Cheer in under 25 minutes and reveals his favorite Navarro cheerleader who likely isn’t who you expected. Plus, hear Brandi’s reaction to The Bachelorette announcement, Wells’ thoughts on Benihana, and Olivia’s struggles of trying to get DD in a twin bed!

Hello. Hey, what's up? Oh, nothing. What are you doing? I just just woke up to be honest with you i was on a really late flight last night coming back from the dominican republic so it's like jet lag oh so sad i mean that's not i mean i was just up late so then i tried to sleep in but i couldn't and then i had to finish cheer on netflix because addicted to this storyline i never finished it i watched the first i watched like the first couple episodes

and i was like yeah this is really good i totally get it and then when i was traveling and sarah already finished it so then i was able to finish it and i have so many thoughts on cheer i could do literally the entire episode i could do on cheer right now even though we discussed cheer like a month ago when it came out. I know what I watched it. No, I know. But now I have like specific thoughts on like specific people. Well, I'm happy to discuss it again because I love cheer.

We need to give it the respect it deserves. Okay. Navarro College and Monica deserve more than just glazing over. Yeah, it was great. Ding, ding. You know, no, we got to get into that shit. Let's freaking dive in. Well, I feel like we need to start the show and you're in Africa right now. So I am. So I'm over here in Africa, right? It's really dry over here. Like every time I come over

here, I have to bring products that will just give my hair and skin all the moisture it can get because of the dry weather. So I packed my favorite cleanser. It's from Glossier. It's the Milky Jelly Cleanser. And it is Glossier's top-selling product, which is not a shocker because it is so great. It's the dream face wash. It takes off all of your makeup. It washes your face without stripping your skin of moisture. Like, I hate when I wash my face and then I feel like my skin is just so dry after. That's not the case with this cleanser. You feel hydrated, cleansed. It's hypoallergenic, non-irritating, and the best part, cruelty-free, which you guys know I love.

It's tough on impurities but gentle on your eyes. And it takes off your eye makeup and everything without having to sit there and scrub and rip out your eyelashes. It's honestly one of my favorite products. Hell yeah, man. You can even learn more and take a quiz on their website to find your ultimate Glossier skincare routine. Plus, all new customers

Again, that's Glossier spelled G- o s s i e r dot com slash podcast slash yft certain exclusions apply they also have great great makeup too just saying okay that sounds good before we before we get serious how does my mic okay yeah you actually sound pretty good okay i'm just sitting further away from it than usual, so I just wanted to make sure. Yeah, that's always better because you tend to peak. Oh, I do. You do.

You tish it up sometimes. I tish it up sometimes. Yeah. Well, you're in Africa right now? Yeah. 7 p.m. over here. Oh, man. I got to say, dude. Pretty wild.

Diamond status content you've been putting out as of late. Thank you. It really helps when you have a professional photographer traveling with you. It's a complete game changer. Oh, is that what's happening? Oh, yeah. I feel like it was like a dramatic shift in my Instagram once Rachel got here because she got here a few days later than I did.

And once she got here and started sending me pictures, man, my Instagram just like went to another level. It's interesting. It's got like a certain aesthetic. I'm not a photographer, so I can't like explain it, but they all look so Africa-y, like with the colors and everything. I don't know if that makes any sense. No, totally. It's actually works out so well. So my friend Rachel Lantigua is who's here doing these photos and she's primarily a wedding photographer. She's based in Fort Worth. And this is like this aesthetic, this like red and orange tones and warm. That's completely her style.

So if you look at her wedding photography, the coloring actually looks very similar. So she was so pumped about this trip because she was like, man, this is just going to fit my shooting style so well. Yeah. And all her photos are just amazing. Rachel Lantigua? Rachel Lantigua. All right. Well, give her a dig.

She's doing a great job out there. Seriously. If you guys need a wedding photographer, you should check her out because her photos are insane. And the thing I like about her wedding photography is it's not like your typical cliche, just like bright and crisp, like wedding photos. They're just, they're moodier and they're edgier,

but they're stunning. I don't know. She's just really, really cool. She books up quick though. So if you want her, you better, you better go get her. All right. Okay.

So I want to like get into like all your favorite things in Africa. Well, let's start the show. Let's just make a table of content really quickly. Cause I feel like we've got a lot to do. Okay. We do.

Okay, so on episode 92 of YFT, we need to get through all of Brandy's favorite things that are happening in South Africa, including her, the deep deer. She's getting. We got to talk about The Bachelor, because. Gotta. Gotta talk about The Bachelorette. Yep, gotta. And I got to talk about Cheer, becauseachelorette. Yep, gotta. And I gotta talk about Cheer because just finished it.

And the DR. This is going to be a jam-packed show. I got a lot of stuff. I assume that you don't have a lot of stuff other than cool shit in Africa, so you can focus on Africa. I'll focus on all the other stuff, and then it'll be a great show. Perfect. I think it's you.

You're in Africarica you start it you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with did not see that coming timon and puma in this world who's timon and who's puma well i I got to see Timon and Puma out here in the wild. Yeah. I was watching your story. Again, if you missed the intro, Brandy's in Africa. And when I went to Africa, my favorite animal to see was the giraffe.

I had never seen one before this trip. I know. So I'm saying. And it's my new favorite. Right? Yes. In no way, shape, or form does it make sense that giraffes are available on this planet. I know.

They're so tall. The physics of it all doesn't seem to make sense. But yet, they're amazing. I was watching this video the other day of this giraffe that was getting attacked by a lion. And the giraffe's, like, long, lanky legs were just beat the shit out of the lion. It was amazing. Oh my God, I'm sure. I learned, our guide told us that giraffe have the same number of vertebrae.

Yeah, as humans. As us, but they're just, yeah, but they're just spaced obviously way further apart. Yeah. But that's pretty wild. I'm pretty sure that like every mammal has the exact same bones. They're just shaped differently. Really? Oh, I don't know. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that like every mammal has the exact same bones. They're just shaped differently. Really? I don't know.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's it. Except for tails. I don't know what happened to our tails. But anyways. Well, thankfully, we don't have them. I don't know. It might be pretty cool to have a tail.

Like if everyone had tails, like it was a thing. I wouldn't hate it. Sounds like it would be really hard to ride a horse with a tail on my butt. Probably. I feel like it would just make sex weird or kind of fun because then you got something to hold on to. Yeah, you have an accessory. Yeah, it's like reins on a horse. Wow, the imagery.

So what else do you love about Africa? I've been to Africa so many times. This is my fifth trip. It is a lot for Africa for like in the past year and a half. Like I've been here a lot and I've gotten to see a lot of different areas. But Reinhardt has been talking about the Kalahari ever since I met him. The Kalahari Desert area. Which I learned is really not – is nothing like a desert.

Like it's nothing like what I was expecting. Yeah. So he's been talking about it as his favorite place in the whole world. And he just always wanted to take me there and whatever. So when he goes to the Kalahari, he camps, which – i i'm not gonna do that he knows i'm not gonna do that so i took it upon myself to find a nice place where i could sleep in a nice king-size fluffy bed and also experience the kalahari i found this place um it's called twalu i picked it because one stunning uh it's actually on did you know that National Geographic has a list of like unique, unique hotels?

They have a list of like not that many. And this place is on there. And so that was appealing. The thing I love about this place is their entire focus is on conservation, which Rye is really passionate about. conservation which rye is really passionate about so i thought it was a really good place to go that was yes luxurious but also um we get to experience like the kalahari and um and also like learn about a lot of conservation tactics that they're doing and and everything so like just to point out a couple things like we noticed the first day there's zero plastic at this place like they give you a little reusable bottle as the minute you get there and they say you can fill us up with water, take it on drive, take it to your room, whatever you want to do with it. Anytime they gave us water, anytime else it was in glass bottles and, you know, no straws, no like even their trash bags were paper. Like it just there was no plastic anywhere, which is great.

And then we also learned that they have their own recycling plant on site at this place. And that's where they make their own recycling plant on site at this place. And that's where they make their reusable bottles out of and everything. So now I just, it seems like they went above and beyond to be eco-friendly. And then on top of that, they stress that it's technically sustainable tourism is what they're doing. And so I, I got to actually chat with a guy that is in charge of the whole, uh, Tuolumne foundation that does the conservation stuff. And I was like, I was like, explain to Foundation that does the conservation stuff and I was like explain to me what exactly that means because I was like I feel like I have a lot of people on Instagram

asking me like how exactly is tourism eco-friendly how is what you're doing eco-friendly and so I was like just tell me like plain and simple like what that means to you and I liked what he said he basically was saying like everything you've seen this week whether it's our conservation efforts you know with being an eco-friendly, whether it's our conservation efforts, you know, with

being, have being an eco-friendly lodge, whether it's, um, trying to increase the numbers of the endangered species we have here, whether it's all, all these things you've seen, uh, something else that's really cool they do is they actually like give back into their community and provide education for people that live in the area and present them with job opportunities. And then they hope, you know, that they go off and do bigger and greater things. And I think that's really cool. So he was like, basically, like when you come and stay here, like the money you spend to stay at this luxurious place and to have this incredible experience is getting poured back into the community here. And it's going into research so that we can help rebuild this land and rebuild, you know, endangered species and learn about the climate

change and how that affects the biodiversity here and everything. And we, you know, throughout the week, we'd see like, oh, they'd be like, oh, there's the team that is researching for the endangered cobra project. Like they have all these projects going on. So it's just really cool to see like that's kind of where your money goes because travel is not eco-friendly. It's just not. You fly and you drive and you, I don't know, spend all this money. But it's cool to go somewhere where it's actually going towards good. It's awesome.

Yeah. I'm playing the circle of life behind what you're saying. So I'm going to turn it up for a second to make people feel really good about it. Great. I'm going to turn it up for a second to make people feel really good about it. Great. Well, that's amazing. So what are some other favorite things?

I mean, that's really cool in terms of sustainability and eco-friendliness. So Olivia and her boyfriend came, or whatever, boyfriend, man, friend, whatever the hell he is. I'm not quite sure. But Olivia and her boo-thang came with us and Rachel all week long. We were like, all right, what are your top three experiences so far and whatnot? And I think for me, I don't know if you saw the picture, but I got to do some horseback safari ish type stuff where we get to ride horses amongst the wildlife. And I got to ride right up to a freaking giraffe. Like we were just walking along and then just like, poof, out of nowhere, this giraffe somehow just like appeared around this bush then just like poof out of nowhere this giraffe

somehow just like appeared around this bush and just stood there and because you're on a horse they see you as another animal so they don't run off like they normally would yeah and he just stood there chewing on his tree like checking us out and i got my i got my picture with the giraffe on my horse like it was the coolest thing ever it was a cool looking horse it was like a dalmatian yeah they're called they're called leopard Appaloosas, actually. Oh, OK. Don't need to win on it. Well, I'm jealous of you. I want to go to Africa and see all this stuff. You and Sarah need to plan a trip. I know. But, you know, speaking of planes, I was just on a bunch of them. And, you know, I find funny

flight attendants fucking hate it when you hit the help button. Oh, I hate it. They hate it. Literally, that's the way you do that. They come over there. They slap the top of the thing. Can I help you? Bitch, this is what you're here for to help me.

All right. And you know what? I need another vodka soda because the guy next to me is wearing a mask. And you know what? I don't know what that means. Does that mean he's got the corona or he's trying to get away from the corona? What part of the corona fence are you leaning right now, guy? Okay?

Need a vodka soda. Need to pass out because I got a corona guy over here. Okay. Are you done with Africa? Do we need more Africa? Okay. I have one last thing about Africa. Okay.

It's not really technically Africa related, but I think she's on her way over here right now. Olivia's man. I like him. Really? I do. I like them together a lot. Yeah, but. I like him.

Does she like him? Because you keep on being like, I don't know if it's his boyfriend, his boo thing, his man friend. Well, you know, they're a new relationship. And so I don't know like where they're at in the whole DTR of the situation. While we were here this week, she did her big reveal on Instagram, posted a picture of him on Instagram. And it was like the first time she'd really acknowledged him on social media. And so I'm not going to be able to understand who's the boyfriend

and who's the girlfriend and who's not. But like, I'm here for it. I really like him a lot. Well, there you go. What's his name? Justin. Good old J-Man is what we're calling him over here. You found him just in time.

Get it. Bad joke. Okay. That's enough of Africa. Okay. I just want to really quickly do like 25 minutes on cheer. Just a quick 25, huh? Just a quick 25 minutes. Okay. We're not doing 25 minutes on cheer. That's fine. here are my thoughts on cheer real quick yeah i know everyone's out here for jerry everyone's out here for gabby butler everyone's out here for morgan but you know who i stand who lexi yeah i stand lexi and i'll tell you why all right number one number one she's ripping that vape pen fucking non-stop okay like give zero fucks about how that looks on tv which i think is hilarious and also like everyone shouldn't smoke those they're bad for you i'm i assume i don't even know but it's i'm sorry it's just so

funny because it's just ripping that thing just walking in the cloud of smoke number two she's out here doing tumbling routines that fucking only guys can do. All right. Apparently, she almost beat someone to death, like knocked out a bunch of girls. Which, again, do not suggest that. But like this little blonde girl, who is this little fire plug? All right. And then also she's getting like nudes released, which is totally not cool.

But like that's happened to so many people. I know. Like Lexi's all of us okay and like she's not buying into all like the navarro cheer bullshit she's like i don't fucking remember everyone's name from like 1992 like i don't care about that i just want to go out there and tumble my little heart out all right she never is a problem she's always just ripping out like her her sets or whatever they're called like her story's crazy i'm just here for lexi all right like i just feel like she just didn't get a lot of love that jerry got or morgan got that's all i'm saying i agree with you i can see that my

other thing because i've talked about uh dance moms a lot right so dance moms that coach is so fucking mean and terrible and she's coaching younger women than Monica. Here's what I got to say about Monica. Monica is such an amazing leader of people in general. Agreed. I've had so many coaches that were like that, that are like fucking hard on you, so you kind of hate them, but then you love them because they got your back and they make you better. Like, that bitch is fucking savagely awesome yeah and also like still super hot you know she is she is i tell you what i didn't love about it there's a lot of morgan's making mac because she's prettier than everybody

else yeah yeah yeah yeah which i didn't don't say it out loud like i know it's a part of the thing but don't say it out loud you know this is me on tv but then morgan ends up proving herself and being like one of the most badass bitches so then it's fine i guess but that was one thing i was like i don't know also definitely thought jerry was just like the fat kid that was just like positive energy dude jerry's fucking out here being good as like he's good i was like well he wouldn't make mad if he wasn't no well but he made mad because everyone else fucking get hurt well yeah you know anyways i love jerry and like i was just watching i posted a story i was fucking crying like a bitch but whatever cheer was fucking emotional but the end of it when jerry's

bro no is it um is it ladarius d when his brother's watching when his brother starts crying oh yeah it's like shit man uh-huh that one got me too you guys called him fruity for all those years man i can't believe in the last episode is like the big competition i can't believe that after like having that injury halfway through and having to stop and getting a second chance to redo it usually in a situation like that like i feel like a lot of people choke you know what i mean yeah like like you're the first one went so bad and then you didn't finish and then you got to go back out and do it again most people in that situation i I feel like, choked and they nailed it and won. After all that, it was just nuts. My thing was, though, if I was, is it Trinity College?

The other college. I would have been annoyed. Well, you guys have to do it again? You guys fucked up. Fucking got hurt. Fell down and got hurt. You know? Is that a tactic?

Like, if you're not having a great routine, someone just fucking pulls a soccer move and just fakes an injury? You know? Yeah. It seemed like when you go down, like you fucking got to keep going, bro. So that was one part where I was like, ah, that doesn't seem fair. They get to do it all over again. Okay, just last thing. The fact that they're just fucking flinging people up in the air like that and catching them that high up in the air.

The one where they throw the girl up and then she's on a handstand on a, like a base's hands. And then he throws her up and then catches her feet. Like, I know that's probably not even the most difficult one, but I'm like, Jesus Christ, how do you do that? What's going on? I know. It is pretty wild. And the last thing. Not a huge fan of Gabby Douglas's dad.

All right. I know. All right. I'm just going to go Gabby Douglas's dad. All right. I know. All right. I'm just going to go ahead and say it. Kind of creepy. I know. Kind of creepy. Yeah.

I agree. I do feel like her parents are like the classic like stage mom of five years old. Let's make a YouTube channel. I know. Little girl. And let's pour you out for YouTube. Add money. Yeah.

little girl and let's tour you out for YouTube. Add money. Yeah. And having a little girl stretch on YouTube just screams a lot of pedophiles watching that shit.

I don't know. Yeah. Maybe I should cut all this. But like that was just the vibe. Yeah. I don't know. You're definitely not

wrong about it. Listen, we talk about cheer a lot, but I had to give my thoughts on it, you know? I'm glad. I'm so glad you enjoyed it as much as you did. Everyone loves it, right? Didn't The Rock tweet about it, you know?

Yeah, everyone loves it. All right, it's time once again to talk about my favorite toothbrush, the Quip toothbrush. Yeah, as you say, it also happens to be my favorite toothbrush. And I actually, I had the same one for so long, I decided to get a second Quip toothbrush. Yeah, as you say, it also happens to be my favorite toothbrush.

bought for the plane ride. Yep. Give me a ding. It was freaking phenomenal. Really? They have to make this book into like a series or a Netflix movie or something. I think there's so much going on in it, it could be a series. Because it kind of spans, like, a long time frame. Like, it starts when, like, the girl is in high school,

and then when it ends, she's, like, I think mid-30s. So it just spans, like, a long time. So I think you could make it multiple seasons. But it was phenomenal. Obviously, it's like, I think I told you guys about it it last week it's like a little bit of a murder mystery and the girl it happens really early in that she goes to jail for being part of it of the situation and so for the first third of the book you get that glimpse of into like women's prison life and stuff and then the rest of it is just like the murder investigation and all that and there's some twists and turns and stuff

you don't see coming and uh i really really loved it even like there were parts where they were like gruesome enough that i was kind of like i don't know like it's it's good yeah yeah i really loved it what's it called big ding definitely check it out it's called jar of hearts the author is jennifer hillier i'm gonna see what else she's written because I really loved it. Got it. I finally saw Dr. Sleep, which is the sequel to The Shining, Stephen King. Oh. And I'm so annoyed that I watched the movie before reading the book. Because a lot of people were like, you need to read the book. And I was like, I don't know.

I went on like a long, deep, deep hole into Stephen King novels. But it was so good. Like the movie is so good, so the movie's so good so well done so interesting the storyline of danny the little boy into adulthood he goes down a similar path that his father went down where he becomes an alcoholic and like lives in like this like kind of dark world and then there's this little girl whose name is abra she's like i'm magic like abracadabra. She shines more than like anyone else. And Danny was like someone who shined really, really brightly. The way that they interact is cool.

The villains in this are cool. You got like kidnapping, gypsy, spiritual souls who are immortal. You have the Overlook Hotel still like, like oh my god don't sleep on dr sleep it is so freaking good and i i think i gotta read the book now because stephen king books are always better than the movies even though the films and tv shows are always really good so holy crap man and ewan mcgregor it plays danny he's so good and this little girl that plays abra is so cute and by the way going to be a huge huge star amazing so yeah it should be on your flight when you come home watch it i mean it's yeah it is scary but it is is it

yeah it's scary scarier than like haunting of hill. It's so funny you say that. I was like, this is so similar to Haunting of Hill House. Because it's- I loved that series. It's great. It's ghosts, really well done ghosts. And like, obviously it's not like just some slapstick horror film. It's really good. Like Ewan McGregor is the main character.

So it's like really good acting, you know? That's really funny you said that. That was my takeaway. I was like, this is so similar to Haunting of Hill House. Like a really like elevated version of ghost stories the main girl who's the gypsy is so good the whole thing is just really well done check it out all right love i also re-watched once upon a time in hollywood which i feel like i slept on because there were so many other films that came out that I was like Jojo Rabbit and Parasite.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and then like seeing it once before and then like understanding the 13 heads of McCluskey or whatever. The movie that he's in where he plays like a war veteran that shoots the flamethrower. The movie ends. It's so funny, like so subtly funny that I, and Brad Pitt's character is so good. Yeah. If you watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,

you're like, that's pretty good. Watch it again. That's so much better the second time. I'll give it a second try. Yeah, you got 20 hours ahead of you. So might as well. You know what I did watch on the flight over? To all the boys, P.S. I still love you.

Oh yeah? Is it good? I did. It is good. I mean, there's not much to say about it. It's just like a feel-good little cute watch. But the thing I liked about this one is that good old Lara Jean has the upper hand this time. She's got all the boys wanting her now instead of the other way around. In the first movie, she writes like five people a letter, a love letter, because she's in love with all these boys, but she's a dork, so whatever.

And now she's dating the hottie, Noah Centineo. And now all these other boys that she wrote letters to are coming out of the woodwork, and she's got options. My girl's got options. I liked it. Way to go. It's cute. Wait, we haven't done Bachelor yet. I know.

We still got to do Batch. Okay, let's just get into it, I guess. Okay, yeah, we should. I don't even know what my thoughts are.eter's just like a little weepy bitch now that was a strong accusation he goes and he's like this is gonna be the hardest thing you know like goes like dude like i know this is tough i don't know sack up a little bit it's not like you're watching the end of cheer all right you know the big big takeaways from it for me were the first ceremony. They're wondering if Madison's showing up and when she does show up, I can't believe he gave her a rose.

I mean, her, she did not look like she wanted to be there. She did not look like she wanted to accept the rose. She didn't look like she thought she was getting a rose. She seemed so unsure and uncertain standing there that I just couldn't believe that that's what happened. I mean, I just I would have seen the uncertainty in her face and been like, you just need to go home. Yeah. For Hannah Ann's perspective of seeing her like so like, yeah, I guess I'll take it. I know. And to think like, what?

That's what this is what I'm up against. And like, he's so obsessed with a girl that's clearly like not into it. I don't know that if I were Hannahannah ann i would feel i would not like that i would feel very strongly about that yeah and then the women tell all was just squawk squawk mine mine mine squawk squawk squawk mine mine like it was one of the worst ones where the people talked over each other and it was like did anyone really get to say anything at all? Yeah. And I'm surprised that Chris like let it go. But I feel like that was the allegory for the season. It was just a bunch of women who were just screaming at one another and didn't really care about the thing they were supposed to care about, which was the guy, you know?

Right. Totally. Anyone who's, why isn't someone from the season The Bachelorette? Just watch the fucking women tell all because that's why isn't someone from the season the bachelorette just watch the fucking women tell all because that's why honestly there was not a good choice from this season to pick at all victoria f i really enjoyed hearing kind of her like when he when chris had her sit down on the couch and you kind of got to hear like her thoughts like post like i really like liked how she was like oh yeah there was i could have done the whole season differently Like she acknowledged that she handled a lot of things wrong and that she you know, there

was a lot that she probably wished she could have done differently. But I just felt like she really out of everybody grew a ton from going through that all that experience. Yeah. What do you think about Claire Crowley as the Bachelorette? My first reaction was that I freaking hate it and I probably won't watch it. And that's because I truly just don't enjoy Claire.

Oh, wow. Every season I've seen her on, she just drives me a little crazy. But the thing I do like about it, about this choice, is I do like that they're getting outside of their cookie-cutter Bachelorette box and picking someone that's a little bit older

and has her shit together, whatever, you know, supposedly has her shit together. Like, I just, I like that. They're breaking the mold a little bit as far as who they would normally pick for the bachelorette. That's what I like about it. You know, everyone's kind of making fun of this season, the bachelor and no woman could come out and become the bachelor because it was such a dumpster fire. But I would like to remind everyone that this season that I was on, the same thing happened. So I really can't pass judgment. What do you mean the same thing happened?

No one from my season became The Bachelor. They chose Nick Vial instead of... Oh, that's right. Either Chase or Luke or... I was up for the running for a little bit too, but we were all not... We were not worthy. It worked out for me.

I got no judgment there they're scrambling for casting i guarantee that's what i was gonna say that's gonna be the problem and so the the positive is that they're gonna have a lot of older men on the show because she's a little bit older i mean and or like i just don't know have young guys too yeah but i don't know if she's like super pumped about the idea of getting engaged to a guy who's 24. Let's be fair. No, I think I don't. I'm not.

I didn't. You know, 24 is a little low, but I do think there'll probably be some like older 20 somethings. Yeah, great. They're going to have trouble casting it just because of that thing. But the domino effect of it means that there's going to be an older bachelor that comes out of it because there's just going to be a lot of if so facts are going to be a lot of older contestants on the bachelorette which means it'll kind of break us out of this mold of like the women that are on the show are way too young and are not really ready to get engaged then we can kind of get back to someone who's 31 or like in their 30s who actually just to get engaged you know i know yeah i completely agree

the only bummer this is going to be for paradise all these older dudes who are ready to settle down are going to go to paradise with a bunch of 20 year olds that are just there to party yeah but so that'll be interesting for me i went on the show when i was 31 i was like i'm definitely ready and i probably wasn't and now i'm 35 going to get married to someone who is, you know, in their mid 20s. So it might be. Sarah's different. Her life has been has made her more mature. I know.

Well, I'm trying to say is someone who's in their like mid 30s or like kind of like early to mid 30s, emotionally is probably about as mature as a woman who is in their like mid to late 20s. So it might work out perfectly. Maybe. We shall see. I'm a little shocked they did this just because I feel like this is very similar to what they did with Ari. Yeah.

And Ari's season was such a bore. Until the end, then it was fucking TV gold. It was fine. It wasn't my favorite. Whatever. All right. Is that enough of this? I'm excited to see what's going to happen, but I definitely think that we're right, end then it was fucking tv gold it's fine it wasn't my favorite whatever all right is that enough of this i'm excited to see what's gonna happen but i definitely think that we're right

that maddie's gonna leave and then at the end of it it's you know i just found that he's gonna legitimately propose to hannah ann put a ring on her finger maddie's gonna come back and be like i'm back and then he's gonna say to hannah I'm so sorry. I have to take the ring back. And give it to Maddie. Yeah, I don't know. If that were to really happen, I'd be really surprised that Hannah Ann wasn't the bachelorette. I know, but that's kind of what I think. Well, it's a two-night finale.

Yay. Yeah. All right. That's enough of that. Brandy was just in the Dominican Republic, which means it was sunny outside. Which means I got to rock my new Warby Parker glasses, which I freaking love, by the way. Oh, yeah. You rave about these sunglasses.

It was the Avett Brothers Live at the Beach, which is like a really fun thing that I've done. Oh, I wondered where you were. Yeah, so the Avett Brothers is a band that I love a lot. They curate this kind of music festival. A couple years ago it was in Mexico.

This year it was in the DR. And the music festival lineup is crazy. it's like Dawes and Edward Sharp the Magnetic Zeros and Travel by Turtles and obviously the Ava Brothers and Emmylou Harris and Langhorne Slim and such a good freaking lineup if we went to Benihana one night like like their version of a Benihana there are two types of people in the world there are people who love the antics of Benihana and then there are people who are like stop flicking the fucking egg around and stop throwing food in my mouth and make the food so i can eat it already all right so which one are you i am i'm fucking starving over here guy i don't care about your your volcano

made of onions feed me. We are 37 minutes in and I haven't eaten anything other than the egg piece that you flung into my mouth about 25 minutes ago, bro. And also like the chance that they're trying to get you to do. And oh my God.

And then you gotta be like, you probably should eat at a different restaurant. I know. And then you gotta be like, you gotta like make friends with everyone at the table. It's like,

and you don't really get to choose what you want. It's like, what do you want? get to choose what you want it's like what do you want do you want shrimp do you want beef do you want chicken well that's it and then we're gonna put some fucking rice in there and mix it all up and booyakasha there you go that'll be 75 dollars no i want to tell you what you know i want i want certain things guy so i don't need a whole show i might thought on that this is why I don't go to Benihana because I don't like this either. One of my least favorite things.

It's becoming more prevalent to have a bottle of soap and a bottle of lotion next to one another at a sink. And have you ever accidentally used the lotion and then tried to wash your hands and then it's just like this really weird, like, greasy feeling on your hands.

And then you just don't know what to do. You freaked out. You've lost this battle. Yep, I've done this. Yes, I know. And you're always like, oh, no, it's lotion and water. This is not supposed to be together. And then you got to rewash.

I love the fact that they've got lotion there because, like, obviously washing your hands, you know, dries them out. But we need to, like, have, like as to what's soap and what's lotion. Okay, guys? Because it's always the same cool lettering and you're like, which one is this one? You know? This actually just happened to me on my flight over because the airlines do this. They have the soap and the lotion. Yeah.

I'm all for it. But let's just fucking big letters that say lotion and big letters that say soap or the big letters say number one and then big letters say number two okay all right that's all i got you want to do some music you're insane speaking of the avids at the beach there were so many good songs and i know this is this is from 28 from Dawes's 2018 record Passwords but to be fair it's their most recent record and I really love this song Crack the Case and I wanted to play it on the show for you right now. A sick version of telephone Starts at the clip of the microphone A game we thought we had all outgrown

But still everybody plays Ignoring all of the remedies Believing all of the rumors With their endless database I want to sit with my enemies And say we should have done this sooner While I look them in the face Maybe that would crack the case them in the face.

Maybe that would crack the case. Anyways, Crack the Case by Dawes. That record's really good, but that song was the one that got me when I was pretty drunk on a beach listening to them a couple nights ago. Dang.

What do you got? Because we recorded so early last week, I technically should have talked about this last week, but I just forgot. Noah has a new song out. It's not her song. It's Jimmy Allen featuring Noah Cyrus. This is us? This is us this is that's it all i really know is love ain't simple it finds you all alone when you're unassembled

When you're in pieces and you feel like you're drowning You don't wanna give nobody the power That's when it gets in the cut And that's when it stitches you up Cause it was just you and now it's just me And now it's just the way that it used to be And we were just kids back then Trying to figure out what it was

Very nice. You like it? It's different for her. It's so happy sounding. I know. Usually Noah's very, a lot of minor keys usually Noah's songs include. I know.

That was the first thing I said to her was like, oh, happy song. This is a good change. Although I do love her sad, sad music. I know. Have you heard of Andy Schaaf? No. Yeah, he's got a new record out called The Neon Skyline, but I've just found him. So I wanted to play something a little bit older off of a 2016 record called The Party.

I really like this song. It's got like 18 million spins too, which is crazy. This is a song called The Magician. This is Andy Schaaf on YFT. Do you find it gets a little easier Each time you make it disappear Oh, a false magician bends the rules As the crowd watches his every move Just a shaking hand with a hungry heart Andy Schaaf. The new record's called The Neon Skyline. I need to listen to that.

But yeah, that's some good shit. What else you got? The 1975 have a new song out called Birthday Partyon Skyline. I need to listen to that. But yeah, that's some good shit. What else you got? The 1975 have a new song out called Birthday Party. Have you listened to that yet? I haven't liked the last four 1975 songs. So this one's better. This one's better. All right. I'm cold Minding my business When I see the girls

And they're all like Do you wanna come and get fucked up? Listen, I got myself a missus There can't be any kissing No, don't be afraid There was a kiss So I don't know now Does it make you feel

This ain't going well I thought I was stuck in hell In a boring conversation with a girl called Mel About a friend in Cincinnati called Maddie as well Pulled away when I went in for the kiss No, it wasn't this You put the tap on, cover up the sunny piss. After four years.

Liv! What did you just yell out? Here she comes! Am I being summoned? Come here! Am I being summoned? Oh yeah, sit down. Oh God, here we go.

The people need to know. Okay. Are you interested in boyfriend and girlfriend? We are. I can't hear. What is your favorite thing about Justin? I love how goofy he is, but he's also one of the most thoughtful people. He's very kind and very tall.

He's very tall. Bold move, Olivia. Taking a guy that you're not really sure as to the relationship status to fucking Africa for like a week and a half. We were in a relationship when we were going to Africa. We've been in a relationship for two months now. That wasn't a big news break. I didn't know. She's very elusive.

I was definitely like keeping him a secret and not really saying anything. But we did. We made it exclusive on New Year's or around that time. And then and then when Instagram public this week. Oh, it was really scary. How's Instagram responding? Oh, they're so nice. I'm shocked.

Literally, everyone thought I'd be alone forever. And so everyone's're so nice. I'm shocked. Literally, everyone thought I'd be alone forever. And so everyone's just so excited. He's nervous, I think, because he's like, private and doesn't do Instagram and all that stuff. So I was kind of we had this like long talk about when to post and what to post. And it was so awkward, but it's like a thing when you you gotta I know it's weird. Yeah. And then Us Weekly wrote an article about her the next day. Literally the next day. The jury is out whether it's possible that they flew a helicopter by us while we were at a winery yesterday. I don't know. I think that could have been Us Weekly. They 100% were flying a helicopter to get photos. Yeah.

Because it's such a big monumental moment in life, apparently. Yeah, no, they're probably just going to steal the Instagram photo and put that in the article. That'll be cheaper. The irony is they posted, you know, Olivia is now in a relationship. And then they didn't use a single post from the photos. It's just like a photo of me. Oh, yeah. So, jury's out still on what he even looks like.

That's good. Yeah, but he's great. What do you think of him, Bryn? I've already raved. I said I love him so much. He's a great guy. He's so wonderful. That's good. Yeah, but he's great. What do you think of him, Brynn? I've already raved. I said I love him so much. He's a great guy. He's so wonderful. I'm obsessed.

All is well. Cute. Thoughts on Claire Crowley's Bachelorette? Huge fan. Yeah? Do you know her? This was not her reaction earlier. I mean, obviously, I'm a little bit like,

whoa, at first, but I'm so pumped. I said I wasn't a big Claire guy. Just the right amount of cuckoo. There's going to be 40-year-olds with kids on her season. We've never seen that before. Okay, that's what I said. I said I liked that part about it. They finally – they're breaking their mold of bachelorette and picking someone a little older.

Yeah, they're going to have talks about finances and stuff. but she is the perfect amount of cuckoo i feel like i'm very here for a little bit of cuckoo okay yeah she looks amazing her body's banging huge fan they're gonna have an episode about setting up their 401k and like getting ready for their aarp membership and conversations are just gonna be so much different. I can't wait for Paradise. People are going to be fucking pushing around walkers down there and asking me for tennis balls for the feet of the walkers. Asking for some like Metamucil inside their margarita.

It's going to be great. They're going to be taking shots of Pepto instead of whiskey or whatever the heck people take on that show. It's going gonna be great yeah they're gonna be taking shots of pepto instead of whiskey or whatever the heck people take on that show it's gonna be great producers are gonna be like so what do you think about mexico and she's like huh what did you say huh okay you know you're basically the same age as most of these dudes that are going on the show so oh i know but i look young baby well hey olivia i'm happy that you are happy and getting some good dip docking oh i'm getting some deep dick in oh i'm convinced they slept in this and so in rise extra bedroom there's two single beds that no one ever uses but they long story short

they had an airbnb booked for south africa for cape town and once we got to Cape Town, the Airbnb chick wasn't answering the phone. Just completely. So it was a complete scam. Yeah. So they had nowhere to stay. So they stayed here. And the only sleeping option was two single beds. And I'm convinced they had sexy time in one of the single beds.

And they won't admit it. I'm not like we tried. There was like a just the tip moment. But it wasn't a full throttle. It wasn't a deep dick in. It was like a shallow dick in that turned into like we're both way too big for this situation. It is a small bed. We quickly, I was like, we'll do this later.

We'll do this another time. And it was it. It was great. But we tried. So, Brianrian you can tell people we did you guys have sexy time in the outdoor shower at twalu no oh right i did no it was too cold there was one day that was just hot enough to make it work no it was much too cold but we did try some that bathtub though oh you did in the bathtub you wow a little little touchy-feely

action you know what i mean that's kind of the play is like some touchy-feely action. You know what I mean? That's kind of the play is like some touchy-feely action in the tub and then you get out to do the actual sexing. You know what I wish people had in Europe that we have in the U.S. is like those steps in the shower. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't really like do fun standing activities in the shower. But if you have the step. That's true. Then then you can sit. My friend Kirsten rents my Nashville house, and she was like, what is that seat for in the shower?

She didn't know. I mean, it's to lift your leg up so you can shave your lower leg. It's for deep-dicking in the shower. But mostly, it's a deep-dicking situation, and the Europeans don't even know what that is. They're missing out. And, you know,

the South Africans have not seen a single sex step in a shower. Well, do y'all have a sex step? I just want you to know that you guys just started rambling on, so I just started playing Hakuna Matata over you guys, and it's weirdly working perfectly in the mix.

This is how we're ending this show. You guys talking about deep dicking while I play Hakuna Matata for you. I can't wait to hear. When does this release? I'm so pumped. Like tomorrow. Wednesday. Whatever day it is. Go back out and hang out with

Timon and Puma. I love you guys so much. Bye, Welzy. Bye. Bye. Hey, shut up! Are you going to stop me? No, I'm not. You disgust me.

Hakuna Matata. What a wonderful phrase. Hakuna Matata. Ain't no passing craze. It means no worries. Oh my God, you guys are so annoying. It's gold. Content gold.
