Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi - Your Favorite Trash TV

Episode Date: August 11, 2021

“You think you know someone, and then one day you just don’t, and that’s just life.” That is Brandi’s take on the Bach-ette Greggy situation, soooo, that’s that on that. After a quick Bach chat, your hosts dive into a more serious conversation about sneezing; can you sneeze when you’re asleep? If you sneeze with your eyes open, will they pop out of your head? What’s scarier than sneezing and driving? All this is discussed for your listening pleasure. Also, are there any high school kids playing high school kids on television? Because the Outer Banks kids are like basically 30. Brandi is looking for some Halloween costume ideas, and Wells thinks Tokyo is too far to send horses for the Olympic horse-showed. Lastly, your hosts discuss the obscurity of Olympic sports and why we assign the hardest one exclusively to 12-year-old girls. Like, that’s not fair. Anyways, next week episode one of BIP will be out! Stay tuned to see how much Wells gets cut out.  Don’t forget to rate, review, and follow Your Favorite Podcast!

It's warm in here, man. Why is it so warm in here? Who did this? All right, I'm going to light a candle, set the mood. Ooh, the mood to podcast.

All right, you beautiful babies. We're about to make some podcast babies together. So cool it down, speed it up, and let's go. Uh, what's up, dude? Oh, nothing. That's it? What's up with you? I don't know it's Monday just you know there's a list of

8,000 things I need to do yeah I've been trying to do that oh man oh nothing usually that's followed with like oh nothing you know what's going on with you that was amazing just oh nothing and then nothing.

And then that was it. Literally nothing. Just dead air. Did you listen to the episode last week with Derek Path filling in for you? Of course not. But I did listen to the teaser on Instagram. And what, are you guys talking about shit again? Like, do you talk about anything else when I'm gone?

In his defense defense he wanted me to cut it he said i don't want to be always talking about shit and then i said i was like i can't cut the shit bit and then he then we both the same time went shit bit like fit bit and then it was just like what if you had this device that tracked your shits all the time and then it was kind of genius i know and and that and then once got, once we figured out where the punchline was, then I couldn't cut it because it was just too funny. So Derek is officially the shit guy. Yeah, he's a shitty guy. What did you guys do while he was in town?

Did you have a big boys time? We went to dinner a couple times. We drank lots of whiskey. No joke, we finished three bottles of whiskey. Oof. Yeah, we finished a bottle of Bullet, a bottle of like really nice Maker's Mark, like fancy Maker's Mark,

and then a bottle of something else that was really good. I was like, take the recycling out. And I was like, man, the recycling people are going to just think I'm a huge alcoholic, which maybe I am. I don't know. Yeah. But it was good to have them over here. And it was funny. It was the first time I had done a podcast with someone else in the room in over a year. Yeah. You know? Yeah, totally. I do apologize because last week we didn't talk about The Bachelor because Derek and I recorded before The Bachelor aired. But if you wanted to hear my thoughts on it,

just go to listen to Nick's podcast or Caitlin's podcast. They both had me on. And here's the thing. I can be honest with the YFTers. I thought I was going on those guys' podcast to be like, waka, waka, waka, funny joke, funny joke. Don't forget to watch Bachelor in Paradise. Instead, I walk into half the country hates Katie and half the country hates Greg, but

I would love to know your thoughts on it because I assume you watched it. I did, yeah. I watched it, and I want to know yours, too, because I'm sorry, but I have not listened to Nick Vial's podcast or Caitlin's. My mom and I talked a little bit about it on cyrus stone should we start the show yeah sure i feel like we do this yeah i know is it you or me go for it because i did it last week there yeah yeah i think so bros and hoes you're listening to your favorite thing podcast with wells and brandy she's back back in town we missed missed her for one week because Derek came and talked a bunch of shit.

Literally. This is so funny because we're doing this like two weeks late, but whatever. It's so bad. I know. We don't have to talk very long about it. But I talked a little bit about it with my mom because it was fresh. Like I just watched it when she and I talked last week. But like my initial thoughts were that Katie was in the wrong a bit.

Here's my thing about it. I say this because I kind of recognize what's going on here in my own past experiences a little bit. So my take on it is learning from my own lessons, I guess, what Katie probably should have done with this super sensitive, emotional guy. But here's my thing. I felt like Greg like laid his heart out, right? Poured his heart out to her at the hometown. He's a super emotional guy, super sensitive guy, and he's laying it all out there. And she just kind of sat there and stared at him and didn't really say anything back. And listen, I get her take of, I don't want to say I love you to anyone until the end. Respect the hell out of that. I get, you know, that this is

a show and there's a process and there's a way things work. And obviously from their conversation, like in the dark corner, she's said to him before, you know, we got to let this play out, hang in there, like, just, you know, trust me on this, whatever. You can tell that she's had those conversations with him before. I think all that's fine and she was not in the wrong in any of that. But I do think with a guy like that, you can't just sit there and say nothing when they pour their heart out to you. And I feel like as a girl, I'm not super emotional and I'm not super sensitive that that gets me in trouble when like somebody pours their heart out to me and then I don't do it back and guys get really upset about that. So I don't know,

I can see what triggered Greg to go off the deep end. I think it was a little bit dramatic. I, I'm a little shocked he just left, but I also kind of see why he was upset. Okay. Yeah. All right. I mean, and I can see it because i've kind of done it to people yeah in a way yeah you know yeah listen so just so the yf tears know we're recording this before the last episode airs so i don't really know what happens tonight i've heard for the grapevine of what happens but i don't really know my first take on it bro, did you watch any show before you came on this one? I mean, yeah. Did you have any foresight to understand kind of the playbook of what this show is and what people kind of do?

If you did and you're being like this, then what the fuck? And if you didn't, well, shame on you because this is a show where ultimately you could get engaged and you should kind of know what's going to happen to you. This is a show where ultimately you could get engaged and you should kind of know what's going to happen to you. So in that respect, I'm like, bro, unless you're Ben Higgins, like I made the joke, like Ben Higgins ruined it for everyone because he told everyone he loved them, you know. But like in years past, you don't do that. Because when you do that, then you've automatically ended the show if it's just for one person, a la Colton. You know, he was all in for cassie the show's effectively over once everyone kind of knows the ending yeah peter went all in on maddie then he did the thing where he was like oh she didn't want me uh hannah ann you know like the show's effectively over so for him to be upset at something that like Katie's trying, you know, she's the bachelorette.

She is trying to keep the show together, I would assume. I'm sure she's also getting a little bit of motivation from other people being like, you got to play your cards close to your vest here, you know? For sure. subconscious but if he's somehow thinking like he's above that where it's like well you know she needs to love me enough that she'll throw out the rules rule book for me kind of thing yeah which is really selfish well and so here's the interesting part of that whole thing because the the argument is is that katie didn't show him enough when he was his most vulnerable which you have an argument there. But you can also say in Katie's defense,

and I'm not taking anyone's side here, but you can also say in Katie's defense that she gave him more positive affirmation in their relationship than anybody else in the show. My other thing about it is, is that what's getting lost in the wash is the other guys. You know, it sucks if you're these other guys having to watch your back especially if she does choose blake or justin or michael comes i don't know what the fuck happens

you know like it sucks for those guys one having to watch your back and two being like oh you never really wanted me you just wanted a great and i think that that's what katie was trying to protect everyone from you know herself and me and those guys and i understand dude it's his heart it's his life thinking about himself but dude there's other people involved so right that's my thing he just wanted her to say i love you and it's like well dude i feel like i told everyone that i'm not saying i love you until the end you know like so i don't know what to tell you i was just thinking like maybe she could have said, and this is like, you know, funny coming from me because I'm the worst at communicating my feelings. But like maybe, you know, if she could have just said like, oh my gosh, like that means the world to me that you've just, you know, said all that.

And like, wow. Or just like, I don't know, like shown some sort of emotion without having to say the L word. Yeah. Maybe would have sufficed for him. I don't know. I don't know. That's the only thing I can say. Yeah. The other thing is this, you went from, I'm pouring my heart out. You fill a hole that hasn't been filled since my father passed away. Yada, yada, yada. I was ready to get down

on one knee to 17 hours later, you're bailing. I mean, yeah. And so here's where like I, and this is going to sound so middle of the road, but it's how I feel. And also this whole thing is so nuanced. There's so much that was definitely cutting room for that. And what people are never going to know about, but it's very, very nuanced. I totally understood what Greg was saying the night of the hometown and like the conversation where he poured his heart out

and then the conversation in the dark and then the conversation in the car. I totally get it. And I'm like on on board what i didn't like with what greg did was the second day he had made up his mind he fucking walks out like chases after him gets down on one knee is like basically like begging him to stay kind of a thing you know and it's just like if this is supposed to be a microcosm of the real world are you telling me that the first time you guys get in an argument you're fucking leaving you're

bailing. Yeah. And if that's the case, then I don't think she filled a hole in your heart. Because if it was, if that was the truth, you're fucking sticking around. Here's my thing. I just feel bad for the other guys. This whole thing is fucked for them. Yeah, I agree. And here's what's going to happen tonight.

One of two things is going to happen tonight. One, she's going to go on the after final rose and be like, water under the it's fine greg you're good we weren't meant to be i'm so happy with blake or justin or whatever and it's like whatever or she's gonna go in hard at greg and perception is reality and everyone's gonna be like you're not over him because you're getting mad at him for this but saying all these things and poor blake or justin whoever's gonna sit there and be like well fuck that's where it sucks i know agree did you like the season i did i did like it i did too i liked a lot of the guys i thought especially these past few episodes were really good yeah i thought it was a good season i I really did. I agree. I think they did a really good job.

Pumped for Paradise, though. Me too. And we are a week away. Less than a week away. I know. I'm so pumped. We just haven't seen Paradise in so long. I know. Almost Paradise! Oh, boy. Knock-a-knock-a-knock-a-knock!

Do you think that there's any way that greg could be the bachelor no no i don't i don't think so i think too many people hate him i thought you loved man i mean i did you know what you know what i've said this a lot this week i don't know why this keeps coming up but you know you you sometimes learn the hard way that you think you know someone, and then one day you just don't. Yeah. And that's just life.

It's true, though. Nuggets of wisdom from Brandy. What's the tabloid situation with like Greg and Brie hanging out? Do you know anything about that? I don't know. All these people. All these people hanging out with one another. Intermingling, intertwining.

Yeah. Doing sex. I don't know if that's true, but like I get it because I was there. It's power in numbers, dude. Like if you go out to a club with other people from the show, more people recognize you

and you get more free shit. And, you know, like they're just riding the wave of getting to be famous for 15 minutes, you know? For sure. So I kind of understand it in that respect. And also like a lot of people can't relate to like what you're going through. So if you want to hang around people that could relate to it, I guess. I don't know. I guess. I think it's more the other thing. I agree. But no one wants to admit like the second answer is the one that people are like, oh, OK, but that's not the truth. Yeah, no. Well, enough bachelor talk. I think so. I think so, too. All right. Quick PSA for those of you out there who rent. If you haven't heard of built, you're about to thank me. Earning

Code YOUR thing do it you got any fave things bro bro bro i've watched so much trash tv in the past 24 hours yeah there's so much trash out right now well so let's take the trash out what do you got for me. Have you seen this love is blind reunion? No. Oh, what? It's trash. Like I literally lost three hours of my life last night watching this. Is it good trash or bad trash?

I'm not sure. I don't think it was good though, but it's great. It was weird. It was like love is blind, new episodes. And I got so excited thinking we finally had season two. Yeah. And then you click and it's just these, these three episodes of this like two year reunion of everybody from season one. So I didn't really understand the point of that. I want a season two. I want new people, you know?

But anyway, they bring everyone back for these three episodes and they kind of spin it as a, like a two-year anniversary party for the two couples that got married right so like lauren and what's his name cam cameron yeah whatever camden something like that and then the barnetts everybody has to come and everybody shows up you know and then like some people are bringing new people there's like a bunch of people i've never seen there and i don't really get it. Did you know that Damien, do you remember which one Damien is by chance? No. You know no one's name. Damien was with the really pretty but kind of crazy blonde chick and they went to the altar and then I think he says yes to marrying her and then she's like, I can't. Yeah. At the end of

season one, like she, they go to the altar and they don't get married. Okay. Well, apparently they've like kind of still been dating for the past two years, but not living together and they're not engaged and they're not married. Um, and then supposedly this Damien character has been seen out with Francesca from too hot to handle. Yeah. So is Francesca on this? Yes. That's confusing. It's very weird. And I, I actually feel so bad for her because she walks into this party and all of these girls are so mean to her they're like uh does she know she's on the wrong netflix show like she is trash like they are horrible to her and like i i don't like i'm sure i'm sure that they paid her a lot of money to do this because I just don't know what other reasons she would have for going.

Yeah. Because it's like walking into a shark tank. I mean, I felt horrible for it. It seemed very awkward. But it's weird because, like, they show her at lunch with Damien. They're, like, drinking a ton of wine. And they're, like, flirting, but they're just friends. And then he asks her to, like, go to the party with him.

But she's, like, as friends or as your date. And they're like, he's like, and like doesn't give her an answer. And then they're like, and then they like come back and they're like, he's like just his friends and then we'll see. And then they go to the party and then she's kind of upset because she doesn't realize he's still dating Gigi. But it's like, girl, he said he was taking you as a friend. Like, what do you mean?

So like, it kind of seems like maybe fake. Like the producers were like, hey, just go along with this. We'll pay you. You'll get on TV and then whatever. But by the end of it, I do think Francesca is really pissed about how it's all happening and how the girls are treating her and everything. I don't know. It's very interesting. And then meanwhile, there's this whole other side story that they don't show and don't really explain short guy uh what's the short guy's name that was like trying to marry the older girl um that wants barnett uh mark so apparently mark apparently so mark and that girl jessica they don't get married obviously she bails on him right apparently mark has turned into a player and was talking to LC for a hot second.

And LC is upset because they were talking. And then all of a sudden, he starts dating another girl and gets this other girl pregnant and then proposes to this other chick who we never see because Mark doesn't show up. And the Barnett chick, Barnett's wife, I forget her name. She is nuts. That is a girl you do not want to, I forget her name. She is nuts. That is a girl you do not want to get on her bad side. She was going in hard.

She was like screaming at Diamond, who was trying to defend LC because this girl's friends with Mark only because she hates Jessica and just wants to be friends with the guy that Jessica screwed over because she hates Jessica so much for trying to steal Barnett from her. Right. And they're all three just sitting here screaming at each other at this engagement or this anniversary party. Like it is nuts. Like just the most trash TV I've ever seen. Jesus. So many names. I don't remember. So is it getting a ding or not getting a ding?

I mean, if you watched Love is Blind, maybe you need to see it yeah i mean it is drama it is the most drama i've ever seen on television in one sitting it's three hours i think it's three episodes they're 45 minutes each and i was like doing other things yeah i was like texting and like getting up a couple times like it's not riveting television, but it is dramatic. All right. And these girls are scary. I haven't heard you talk that passionately about anything in a very long time. I just watched it. It's very fresh.

Yeah. All right. I mean, I assume you started watching FBoy Island. Oh, you know it. I mean, what is your takeaways from FBoy Island? Because it's getting some really good buzz. Or I might be living in an echo chamber because all of my friends now work on that show. Yeah, I feel like probably a little of both.

I'm only two episodes in. Yeah. So I'm not very far. But my first thought is like, I love Nikki Glaser as a host. Same. She's awesome in this role. Love this for her. Like she's awesome in this role.

Love this for her. Here's my issue with the concept of this is like these guys get to say whether they're a nice guy or a fuck boy. Right. And then we're just supposed to take them at their word. Yeah. So when they get voted off and they're like, I was a nice guy. We're just going to say, OK, yeah, you were a nice guy. No. Yeah.

No guy that says they're a nice guy is actually a nice guy like that's the part of the show that's missing for me how do we like get the nice guys and like catch them and be like no see you're a fuck boy yeah we need some checks and balances here um because like listen if you're going on a reality dating show you're kind of a fuck boy you You're not a nice guy. Yeah. Present company included. There was a time in my life which I was a big douche. All right. And I was the nice guy. If you recall on TV.

Yeah, exactly what I'm saying. Also, it makes me LOL so hard that they have to say F boy every five seconds. You can't just say fuck boy. I mean, it's HBO. Why can't we just say fuck boy? Yeah, that is one thing I have not understood, but whatever. five seconds you can't just say fuck boy i mean it's hbo why can't we just say fuck boy yeah i i

that is one thing i have not understood but whatever it's not like nice guys and fuck boys it's just like varying degrees of fuck boys really exactly yeah you're a three on the f boy meter so you know but anyways i do love i love the concept's the thing. They're all fuckboys. And women who are like that, like fuckboys. You know? Like drop dead gorgeous. Those, that's what they want. They don't want the nice guy. No.

You always hear hot chicks being like, where is the right guy? I'm just looking for the right guy. Where's the nice guy? Where is he? I'll tell you where. Where's a nice guy? Where is he? I'll tell you where. He's in the fucking friend zone, okay? That's where you've put it. It's so true.

But anyway, it's so funny because Alon, who created the show, called me yesterday and we were talking about it and I was just like, man, it's such a good show, dude. It is a genius idea. Well done, well done. And I agree with you, man, it's such a good show, dude. It is a genius idea. Well done.

Well done. And I agree with you. Nikki is a phenomenal host. So good. I had to give him a little bit of shit because he told me about this idea years ago. And I was like, dude, you better put me on this show. You better let me host this thing. So he was like, I couldn't put, you know, the joke was like, I can't have a fuckboy host fuckboy island, bro. And I was like, can't have a fuckboy host fuckboy island bro and i was like yeah fair enough when she goes um all right ladies you're gonna be staying in this beachside

mansion and like and then she goes and guys you're gonna be staying not in this beachside mansion when the guys goes oh shit man i thought you going to say that we're staying in this beachside mansion with the girls. And she goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was the joke. That was like, ah, nailed him. Yeah. Oh, it's too good. Yeah.

I think she's funny. Yeah. Great show. I'm here for it. So, yeah, having fun with that one. I just started season two of Ted Lasso. You never watched Ted Lasso the first season. No, I didn't.

I need to. You really do. You really do. I know. It's, I mean, it won like every award in the world. I know, I know. And Jason Sudeikis got his heart broken by Livia Wilde and Harry Styles. Okay.

So. True, true. We need to all be on Ted. We need to all be on Jason Sudeikis' side and we all need to be watching Ted Lasso. But anyways, I just started the first episode of Ted Lasso. And of course, it's amazing. But I will come back and tell you how great it is when I finish it. Oh, OK.

Got it. I finally finished the season, the last two episodes of Physical. Did you ever start that show? No. I mean, listen i i loved i don't really know that a that a guy would like to watch it as much i guess as a girl because like i think what's appealing about it is like you're hearing you know the voice inside her head and like i don't know just from a woman's perspective i'm sure it's probably a better watch but i think probably the best part about this show is just like how it's stylized, right?

It's like set in the late 70s and the wardrobe's amazing. It just like, I don't know, like it looks great. The aesthetic of it is really cool and I really like that aspect of it. But honestly, I didn't really love the finale. There was really no like resolution and they kind of rushed through the end and you're kind of like wait so what happened and it's over like i don't know it just wasn't it wasn't my favorite like ending to a show ever it was just very open-ended and just like kind of yeah fun to watch yeah i think the ladies out there will like. For our 14 gentlemen listeners, maybe not.

Do you think we have 14? I don't know. That is a bit liberal, isn't it? Yeah. I finally watched The New Suicide Squad. Oh. Written and directed by James Gunn, who I'm a huge fan of. Obviously, he's done some amazing work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe,

doing a lot of Guardians of the Galaxy movies. So now they're bringing them over to the DC world, and I don't know if I liked it. Really? Didn't love it. I didn't love it. It's getting pretty good reviews, So maybe I'm way off base. James does the things that he does really well in like Guardians of the Galaxy.

Amazing soundtrack. Very funny people. Really good writing. But there are some things as the comic dork that annoy me. There's a few characters that he's just made up to kill off. And they're just like big names for like one scene, which is like whatever. But like,

there's so many people in the DC universe that you could use to kill off. Why are you making people up? I didn't like that. Weird. Okay. The villain is weird too. I mean, it's so bubble gum colored that like, it's just like, what am I watching here?

It's a giant starfish with one eye in the middle of it. The villain's weird. It's an alien starfish and it's just tough to get into. Yeah, I don't know. It's good because it's entertaining and it's funny and it's like all those things, but it just didn't hit the mark. I feel like the way that Guardians of the Galaxy did. Okay.

Yeah, I can see that. So anyways, half ding. Half ding. Half ding. Have you seen the new Space Jam yet? No, and I don't want to. Me neither. What?

Yeah. What do you mean? You don't want to. I don't want to. Why? The first one was good. But you know what? I said that about Jumanji and you freaked out.

True. True, true, true. But the first Jumanji, Michael Jordan, LeBron James. I don't know. Oh, come on. Yeah, I know. I just, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to.

I just, you go watch it and you tell me what you think. Okay, I'm going to. Apparently it's on HBO right now, only for a few more days. So I got to watch it this week. Yeah. Well, I hung out with like a bunch of Bachelor dudes this weekend. I saw that. Were you playing golf?

Shocker. Yeah, we're playing golf, doing some real hardcore white guy shit. Uh-huh. But it was for a good cause. We went out to Memphis for the WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational. Wow, sounds fancy. We raised lots of money. I wrote a big check. That's cool. out to Memphis for the WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational. Wow. Sounds fancy. We raised lots of money.

I wrote a big check. That's cool. And then I got to walk inside the ropes, bro, with Ben Higgins. Oh. What's that mean, inside the ropes, exactly? So, like, on golf course, like, a tournament, in the PGA tournament, they put up ropes in the rough where the fans can't walk in because you don't want, you know, that would be like running on the court in a basketball game. You can't do that.

Yeah, got it. For the select few, they let them walk inside the ropes. So, like, you get to be with them anyways. It was really cool. But it was really good to see Ben. Really good to see Jason. Jason Tardik's dad is a legend. He's one of my favorite things.

He is amazing. He talked so much shit to my brother because we were all. No way. We had this big golf game. And it was amazing to see. We were like drunk at the bar at the Peabody. And it was just Jason Tardik's dad just talking mad shit to my brother. And it was so freaking funny.

Hung out with Cord Overstreet. Do you know Cord? Oh, yeah, I do. I love Cord. Yeah. Cord gets a couple white claws in his belly. And all of sudden the coordnado comes out and it's beautiful we made up that nickname we went to a restaurant called the kooky canuck because it was like the only place open and the coordnado was there and he ordered i shit you not four different entrees

and just and was like crushing all of them. It was so funny. Anyways, good times had by all. And if you have any leftover change, give it to St. Jude's because obviously they're doing amazing things. But here's the thing that annoyed me actually. And this has nothing to do with St. Jude's. I love them. And what they're doing is beautiful. But we went to this big charity dinner beforehand, right?

And they're just auctioning off everything. And people are just giving so much money. We raised like $900,000 a night it was crazy wow and you know and you're hearing all these beautiful stories of you know saving these kids and it's like yeah yeah yeah you know like of course we got it we got to support this and then in the middle of it i was like you know what this is fucked up that we have to as citizens raise money for a thing that saves kids from cancer this should just be a part of the fucking country. You know,

I know like our fucking tax dollars. Let's take a little bit of maybe our, the money that we use for our military and put it towards, I don't know, kids with cancer. I, there was a point in the middle of the thing where I was like, Oh,

why the fuck are we doing this? This should be a no brainer that we are saving these kids. You know? Yeah. What the fuck? So that's one of my least favorite things it's beautiful but it's like but no do it country yeah do i know how to do it no do i even know if it's possible i don't yeah but i feel like it should be me too you know you hear these stories of like you know katie had leukemia and we didn't have any money and St. Jude paid for everything and they saved her life. And it's just amazing that, you know, they really they were there when no one else was there. And it's like, yeah, but that's we should.

That's everyone should have that if that happens. You know, like you shouldn't have to think about bills. What? Poor kids got cancer. I know. Fix it, America. Do better. Anyways, have to think about bills. What? Poor kid's got cancer. I know. Fix it, America. Do better. Anyways.

I was thinking about this. I don't think you can sneeze when you're asleep. I don't think so. That was quite the pivot. You like that? Yeah. Also, I've never thought about that, but I think you're right. Because that would wake you up, and I've never woken up from a sneeze, ever.

Oh my gosh, I think you're right. Yeah. Fascinating. Yeah, think about it. Has anyone ever? I don't know. I've never because i haven't this morning i woke up woke up really early and and then i and i then i sneezed and it like happened like right after i woke up and i was like huh like what if that if that had happened while i

was asleep that would be fucking terrifying it was a normal dream though what happened oh my god there's nothing more terrifying than sneezing while i'm driving oh yeah especially when i'm going like 85 down the freeway because you you know your eyes close like yeah apparently if you leave your eyes open when you sneeze your eyes pop out of their sockets so yeah i don't know that's true you feel like what i don't know if that's true well why don't you try it let me know no no no no no no but i don't think it's true no one's willing to take the risk to find out if it's true but oh yeah so when i sneeze it's not just one it's at least three if not four in a row

yeah that's like a solid four seconds of my eyes being closed and my head down while i'm driving it's very dangerous yeah have you sneezed in a mask yet i don't think so oh sounds gross yeah it's it's like farting in a telephone booth you, it's like you're in there with it, you know? Yeah. But every time it happens to me a lot, I feel like it's because I am in a state that is more diligent about masks than you are, than Tennessee is. So I'm just in masks more. And of course, it's Sarah's health. But when I sneeze in a mask, I'm like, hey, mask, what the fuck is happening here?

You had one job that was to filter out things to get me in my nose and apparently everything's in my nose how did it get in here and if the chili flake or whatever that got in here that made me sneeze guys what's going on mask do better oh better. Oh, my Lord. Started reading a book called A Town Called Discovery. Ooh, that sounds good. Really good. By R.R. Haywood.

Hey, every author in the world, why do you have to do initials and then your last name? You know? Because it looks cool. It does. But like, was there some sort of like author convention that was like, guys, this is what we're going to do. We're going to do letters and then last name, okay? Like J.R.R. Tolkien, got it, okay?

J.K. Rowling, got it. S.E. Hinton, got it, whatever. It is a thing. It is a thing, anyways. R.R. Heywood. A man falls from the sky. He has no memory. He has no sense of self.

What lies ahead are a series of tests, each more brutal than the last. And if he gets through them all, he just might reach a town called Discovery. So it starts out with this guy who's falling in, like, he's just falling into the ocean from a very high height. falling into the ocean from a very high height and every time he falls he hits the ocean his legs break and he drowns and it happens like 20 times and but every time he like resets and he starts falling again but he can remember all the deaths that he has he figures out you know if i angle my body this way i don't break my legs as bad and then so like he eventually figures out how to like not die from the fall and then he's got to like swim back to the ocean and then the ocean like throwing up against the rocks kills him a bunch of different times he's got to figure out

how to like get through that and then when he gets out of the ocean finally there's like a woman there that like shoots him and then so he gets shot a million times yeah figure out all these things and finally he has to pass all these different tests and then what you come to find out is that there's this whole town called discovery of all these people that had to do all this stuff um survive and now what they're being used for is like bending them back in time to fix problems with history. Oh. And it's very, very interesting. Really crazy.

And I feel like this is going to be a show. Anyways, A Town Called Discovery. Yeah, it sounds like a good show. Yeah. By R.R. Haywood. Fantastic. That sounds really good. Yeah.

You got anything else? I feel like I haven't watched enough to talk about it, but I did start season two about her banks. Did you? Yes, I did. How far in are you? Like four or five episodes in.

Oh, you're pretty deep. I was feeling like the first couple episodes weren't grasping me. Does it get better? Yes. I like it. My question is like, who's this show for?

Is this show for kids or is this show for 37 year old men like i like you know no i do know yeah all these kids are fucking they're at the country club just getting fucking tanked they're 17 years old in what world like my parents met remembers a country club they wouldn't let me get fucked up there i wouldn't be like hey let me get some oysters and a jack and cook they would be like no you're 17 no i'll beat yours no they're all doing drugs and getting guns and like i know it's insane i don't get it yeah but i do love i love the show i absolutely love it yeah okay i need to i need to finish john b keep watching gotta love john b john b's dreamy yeah and his girlfriend yeah she's hot so hot but like how old how old is she really i don't know i mean it's probably like a classic like uh like you know like the oc and one tree hill yeah all those kids that played high schoolers were

like 28 yeah yeah i'm scared to be like she she's hot. Because she might be 16 years old. And then I'm a fucking... I don't think. I don't think so either. Born in 1997. Oh. So that makes... How old is she?

20... So she's like 24. Yeah. See, I'm telling you. Yeah, okay. So it's okay for me to say that Madeline's hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

How old's John B? Is John B like 40? I mean, okay. You know that on Hannah Montana, the kid that played miley's brother yeah jason earls he was playing like a ninth grader and he was like 30 yeah yeah no i know that right yeah crazy i know born in 1992 he's almost 30 my kid's almost 30. My kid's almost 30. I told you. He looks so good for 30.

He's playing a 17-year-old. What world is this? And we're totally on board with it. He's like, I got finals tomorrow. Okay. Social studies class at recess. Fucking zombies. He's almost 40. I thought he was 30. okay social studies class at recess fucking zombies don't party those 30 madison madison kiara how old do you think she is oh she's so cute she is cute she's born in 1999 okay so it's a little better a little bit but not really not a lot why didn't sarah get on this

show she could have been like the little sister or something. Totally could have. Yeah. This is bullshit. When I hear like, hey, we're looking for like a 17 to like, you know, a 17, 18 year old for this part. You know, because I hear that a lot when Sarah's like, hey, they're going younger. This is a good example. Fucking John P is buying.

Seriously. this is common don't come at me casting directors with you're too old for this john b's 47 years old all right i like that show i just don't know who it's for because if my nephews or nieces are watching it i'm like really i guess that's the same who it's for. Because if my nephews or nieces are watching it, I'm like, really? I guess that's the same thing. It's not as bad as Euphoria, but. Oh, yeah. That one was intense.

Question. Do you, I feel like I saw a teaser for the new season of Stranger Things. Yeah, it's coming in the fall. This says it's official. There will be no new episodes of Stranger Things in 2021. Netflix this morning released a new 30 second teaser for the upcoming installment, which confirmed that season four will debut in 2022. Lame.

I saw this conspiracy theory about Stranger Things. I'm going to do a bad job of explaining it, but I'm going to try. Okay. I love a conspiracy theory. Yeah. We all know that Eleven gets adopted by Hopper, right? Hopper's kind of like his daughter. And then we also know that Hopper's daughter

died years ago. So there's this theory that Hopper's daughter didn't really die. She was also part of that scientific experiment. They just, like, pretended that she was dead like they did with the other kid in the first season,

you know, when he went to the upside down. The way that conspiracy theory works, when there's like a flashback of Hopper with his daughter, she's got this one like stuffed animal. The next time you see that stuffed animal, it's Eleven when there's a flashback to her in the lab. Yeah. And Eleven's got that stuffed animal. The thought is that Hopper's daughter went there.

Eleven somehow got it. And they are using Hopper's daughter. She's one of the most powerful of all of all these kids. And they're going to use her to go try to find and kill 11. And then Hopper's going to have to make the decision or have to witness both his daughters fighting to the death. Damn. I did a bad job of it, but that's kind of crazy. I kind of hope that's not true

no what do you want to have happen i don't know i don't want 11 to die but i also don't want the other kid to die i don't want anyone to die no you know just that ugly alien thing yeah the vagina looks like the vagina yeah the demogorgon. Disgusting. Yeah. Speaking of Halloween, you know, it's coming up quick. I know. I know. I need to start right now brainstorming some costume ideas. Same, same. Same, same.

All right, YF tears, if you have any ideas, send them my way. I want to be prepared this year because I never am and I need some good ideas. Yeah. Did you watch any of the Olympics? I watched some of the equestrian stuff here's my thing dude they gotta fucking fly them horses all the way to japan bro yeah oh yeah why crazy what do you why that's too far for a horse no it's not yeah it is nah just said nay oh my god yeah so do you watch the equestrian stuff I watch some of it yeah

USA was team silver which is pretty great yeah you know there was a time in which I I was younger when I was like very like yeah we got the most fucking medals America now I'm like I don't give a fuck you know like you guys can all I don't care who wins

you know doesn't really matter to me yeah you're not invested Fucking medals. America. Now I'm like, I don't give a fuck. You know, like you guys can all, I don't care who wins. You know, it doesn't really matter to me. Yeah. You're not invested. No, I don't. I don't know if my patriotism doesn't lie like hardcore in really obscure sports that we're good at. You know? I mean, that's fair.

Like, I think that we should be good at basketball because no one else really does it. You know, baseball probably. Is baseball in the Olympics? I don't even fucking know, dude. I don't even know. I'm not sure it is. I think it is. Basketball is. Apparently they were playing like three on three basketball.

It was weird. Yeah, I don't know. But there's so many obscure sports. You're like, who is playing this? And also, can I just go, I'm going to go figure out the weirdest fucking sport, like hacky sack. There probably is a hacky sack

thing and i'm gonna go win a gold medal because it's just so fucking random you know it is random i know it's not a good barometer for like strength of your country if you're like super good at underwater basket weaving you know like i that doesn't make who gives a shit oh you're right. But I do want to say shout out to our golf team. We did really good. Nellie Korda won and Xander Shoffley.

That was cool. Wow. The one that gets me is shooting. I'm like, really? A sport? Does it take any athleticism at all to shoot? I mean, it takes a steady hand. That's not very athletic you're right you're not wrong a skill yes but athletic fair not sure i kind of agree with you there's so many like ridiculous sports and then we have gymnastics where they're like let's make this so fucking hard

you know like wait hold on why are we doing this to 12 year old girls i don't understand what are you doing why are you making them fucking do flips on a beam they're all not we're all judging them like oh my god she fucking didn't hit the triple sal cow fucking off the beam that's ice skating it's a 12 year old girl bro what the fuck's wrong with us oh my god hey let's put them in bathing suits make them fucking jump around on a little balance bar and when they don't nail the landing we'll be like oh my god what a failure 12 year old girl guys 12 year old girl all right honestly i'm shocked that you're allowed to compete in the Olympics under the age of 18.

Yeah. I agree, actually. Like, I think it's great if, like, you know, you're so young and so talented. But I feel like by allowing that, it has, like, negative effects of, like, overworking kids in a sense, you know? Our world is so fucking ridiculous like just keep on going back to like aliens watching and just being like oh my god look how weird these things are yeah they made up a game that's so hard to do and they only let 12 year old girls do it.

Do you know who Leah Blevins is? I'm not sure I do. She's an old friend of mine, super talented, finally put out a full length and she is Paul McDonald's significant other. Oh, I see. Anyways, known her forever.

Such a sweetheart and so talented. And she's got this like Dolly Parton vibe to her. That's just. That's cool. The best. Anyways, the new record is called First Time Feeling. And she put that song out a while ago. But I really like this song called Beautiful Disaster. So anyways, Leah Blevins on YFT. But the life and the style have left me so empty

Cause you know misery works best with company Am I real estate inspired by numbers with a smile on my face? Was it real or fake, our life and never more? Cause I can't own what i let happen darling i'll love you forever and after yeah she's she's got a super cool voice. Yeah, definitely a throwback to like old country used to be, you know? Yeah, absolutely.

And she's drop dead gorgeous. I have a feeling about her. She might be the next big thing. Ooh, okay. Here's the thing. It's like, will traditional country support her? Or will she be cast to this alt-country Americana world? And I don't know.

Anyways, her and Paul, by the way, they look like the coolest couple in the world. I can only imagine. You know? Oh, my God. My mom loves him. Who doesn't? He's the best. That's all you got?

That's all I got right now. Do you like Ingrid Andress? I don't know. Oh, what? She's like a got? That's all I got right now. Do you like Ingrid Andress? I don't know. Oh, what?

Throwing them back like I got nothing to lose It's a slow burn just like you We shall right now. Better make it two, nothing I won't do for another round of me and you.

I get hopeful when I'm tipsy, thinking you might actually miss me. It's a hundred proof, nothing I won't do for another round of me and you. I'm wishful drinking. Every step I'm getting closer I wish I got to do the snaps on this song. Big snap guy? Baby, just for tonight I don't wanna have no closure Mom?

I mean, that's great. That is the most, like, new country song. You know, like, it's. Oh, totally. I can see being in that writer's room being like, wishful drinking? Yes! This thing's going to fucking write itself. For sure.

You know? That's so funny. So this one's going out to Paul McDonald. No one ever wrote a song about me, which is really sad. Oh, I'm so sorry. Anyone ever write a song about me? This is really sad. Oh, I'm so sorry. Anyone ever write a song about you? Um, I don't know. I dated a musician a long time ago

that said he wrote this song about me, but honestly, he was such a dick, he probably told a lot of girls that, so I don't know. Can we listen to this song? No. No? I would rather not.

Okay. Um, all right, well, miss ya, love ya. Miss you, love ya. No? I would rather not. All right. Well, miss you. Love you. Miss you. Love you. All right, YFTers.
