Wells and Brandi break down Miley Cyrus at the Hollywood Bowl, the Fourth Wing casting with Esther McGregor, Cabaret, Carrie and East of Eden.

Brandi defends Miley's stripped-down show and tells Fourth Wing fans to get over the casting. Wells reports back from London, where cheers means everything and every pub is empty because everyone is outside. Then it's an MGM+ binge, more Dancing with the Stars drama, and Elon Musk's flying car that is really a falling car. Plus, Wells bids $1,000 for a first class upgrade and regrets it immediately.

DWTS Voting, Carrie, Stephen King & Kayaking in the Congo Basin Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

Brandi drops some BIG news and the YFTers are only finding out now because Wells has spent almost a YEAR cutting it out of the show! Wells’ favorite novelists are both on streaming, so he’s thrilled: John Steinbeck’s East of Eden and Stephen King’s Carrie. Which leads Brandi to remember the only movie she’s ever walked out of because it was too scary: Stephen King’s Dreamcatcher, the alien-that-makes-you-fart movie. Brandi brings a Dancing with the Stars update plus a voting conspiracy to the table while Wells pitches a documentary about a man whose wives keep dying. Then the voicemails roll in with drive-through anxiety and an update on Ash Dykes, the guy kayaking through the Congo Basin.

FAVORITE THINGS:

East of Eden (Netflix)
Carrie (Prime Video)
The Institute (MGM+)
Lanterns (HBO Max)
Traitors: New Blood (Peacock)

Brandi has BEEF with Public Bathrooms & the Poop vs Sleep Magnesium Debacle Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

Not sure what to watch this week? Your favorite hosts got you covered! Wells and Brandi share the show they've been watching on Netflix, a climbing documentary Wells calls "insane" and, per usual, another Netflix true crime documentary.

Plus, Brandi goes on a Wells-inspired rant about public bathrooms, Wells checks whether he's taking the poop magnesium or the sleep magnesium, and they realize they need more information on Jacob's Ladder. Leave us a voicemail!! Brandi is opening for the Ying Yang Twins (iconic), and Miley's Hollywood Bowl shows are so in demand that there are no comps, not even for Wells. With Wells having a difficult week, this is a short one, but it's still packed full of good stuff! And a HUGE thank you to Wells for always showing up for the YFTers!

FAVORITE THINGS:

East of Eden (Netflix)
Meru (Netflix, Prime)
Last Seen (Apple TV)
Theo of Golden (book)
The sticky toffee pudding at Stein Eriksen Lodge in Deer Valley
Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers (Netflix)

Traitors: New Blood Contestants Have "People" Now? Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

Wells is a pizza hero and Brandi swears she's done collecting animals. Her famous last words... We'll believe it when we see it. Buckle up, because this week goes from the tragic stories of the Cornell Seven & Lindsay Clancy to the feel-good "Fruit Tree Elves" and a falling free climber.

After watching a "free climber" fall (a lot), Wells has an opinion on what should count as "free." Hot take alert! He also has a feel-good story about Fruit Tree Elves in San Francisco who are technically breaking the law, but providing fruit for all. Their Favorite Things include what you need to watch right now on Netflix and Wells dives into what he thinks of The Traitors: New Blood cast. Are they better then the celebs? Are they considered celebs now?! And then, Brandi shares who she wants to win Dancing with the Stars, and our YFTers came through with a voicemail on why people are questioning the Lindsay Clancy case. It is a real rollercoaster of an episode today, just the way we like it!

CALL US AT 858-630-1856. We'd love to hear from you!

Wells' Anya Taylor-Joy Theory & The TRUTH About Yeast Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

An Anya Taylor-Joy alien theory that'll turn your head, the truth about yeast, true crime docs, some cult talk and just a sprinkle of Golden (it'll make sense when you listen) on today's episode of Your Favorite Thing.

Brandi's background is ever changing due to the renovation chaos, while Wells swears off golf for a while. They lean on ChatGPT to explain what yeast actually is, and Wells is on a true-crime kick this week, giving Ryan Murphy's new Lizzie Borden anthology two thumbs way up. And then, after backlash from last week, Wells and Brandi ask the YFTers who know what's up to please explain the Lindsay Clancy case to them like they're five.

Sterling Point, Silo, Signal One & Uncle Stav Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Rise and shine, YFTers! Your favorite hosts are f*cking tired and recording at 6am just for you. It's a shorter one this week, but they still bring the goods... A documentary about the Olympics' most-mocked breakdancer, a new Greek comedian's Netflix special, and a murder comedy about a married couple that hits a little too close to Brandi's own moving chaos. She survived the move itself, but now has no working stove, no working toilet upstairs, and a shower with no doors. Surviving, not thriving. And per usual, Wells is racing out to catch a flight to Monterey for a charity golf event (Golf Party), fresh off his haunted-hotel trip to Alabama. Ahhh, never a dull moment.

FAVORITE THINGS:

Silo (Apple TV+)
Sterling Point (Amazon Prime)
Ray Gun Breaking Badly (Netflix)
Stavros: Uncle Stav (Netflix)
Traitors: New Blood (NBC)
Signal One (Hulu)
Dark Matter (Apple TV)

Apple Is Solving Problems We Don't Have Sep 09, 2026

Show notes

Can Wells take Steph Curry in a chip-off at Pebble Beach to win $50K? No. But he still calls it one of the best experiences of his life. And for the angry Canadian YFTers, last week's horse-meat comments gets cleared up... It's just the freaky-deaky French. Then, Brandi weighs in on the court case that's got the whole country talking. And good news for everyone... Brandi's gluten-free gut is finally growling again! We also get a classic Wells rant about FaceTime's new zoom glitch, courtesy of all the time he spends on it with his wife overseas, plus a roast of Jaden Smith's new carpentry hobby. Tune in to hear what they think of the stacked cast in The Whisper Man, along with the rest of this week's list of favorite things.

Fart Goes the Butt Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

Wells and Brandi start with the heavy news that a close friend of the Cyrus family, Dolly Parton, passed away last week. Brandi shares her memories of Dolly from Hannah Montana days, and talks about her iconic presence, which is why everyone loved her. Rest in peace, Dolly.

And in other unfortunate news, Wells' Golf Channel reboot of The Big Break got canceled after a controversial golf ad blew up on the internet. From there it's straight into what to watch, and you don't want to miss this week's suggestions! From one of the best shows to come out on TV in a long time (Furious), the Dark Matter premiere, and Brandi's friend Megan's new show Sterling Point, they're all must-watches this week. Plus a new Blake Crouch audiobook, a cult horror pick on Netflix, and the internet's new obsession with Luke Bryan's worst lyrics ever. Fart goes the butt. End goes the podcast.

FAVORITE THINGS:

Furious (Hulu)
Dark Matter (Apple TV+)
The Odyssey (in theaters)

If You're Doing Squats, You're Cheating on Your Wife Aug 26, 2026

Show notes

A rant fueled by fake hair and GLP-1s spirals into Wells creating a new rule: if you're getting ripped, you're cheating on your wife. Period!

Your favorite hosts had quite the week, from Wells' potential $12,000 emergency vet bill to Brandi's stinky garbage from Noah's Cracker Barrel leftovers. Wells questions Brandi's donkey collection, falls in love with the Walmart goat lady, and reminisces about the drunk cigarette days. Their favorites list this week may be small, but their tangents are unhinged. Wells and Brandi split hard on the new Green Lantern show, and Brandi advocates for wild horses.

FAVORITE THINGS:

Lanterns
Blue Zeus (Sky Dog Sanctuary)

Amish Dating in the Dark & the 'Best Movie of the Year' Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

The best movie of the year (according to Wells) that's hard to watch with your partner, and must-watch documentaries on today's episode of Your Favorite Thing.

Wells shares what it's like to be in his brain, while Brandi's fresh off a VIP night at Nashville's PBR event, watching bull riders eat dirt from a platform right above the chute. Plus, Sarah's off to London for six months to play Sally Bowles in Cabaret and Brandi's STILL mid-move into the new house.

Naturally, their conversation spirals into a financial planning discussion followed by a full CBS Sunday Morning deep-dive on Amish dating rules... Oh, and the Lululemon "Big Ass Bag" reviews get a dramatic reading they did not ask for. And stay tuned till the end for a YFT favorite, Dirty Grandpa.

FAVORITE THINGS:

The Invite (rented on Apple)
The Last House (Netflix)
The Shards (Hulu)
The Truth and Tragedy of Mariah Wilson (Netflix)
