Show notes

From the high-stakes strategy of mahjong to Joey Graziadei's acting debut... today's episode is full of what’s currently living rent-free in your favorite host's heads. Wells and Brandi share their thoughts on the recent surge of mahjong in their (aging) circles, share their opinions on holiday romances like The Holiday Spark, and Wells goes on another tangent about MGM+.

Elon's Flying Car, East of Eden on Netflix & Esther McGregor in Fourth Wing Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

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

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.

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

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)
Over Your Dead Body (AMC+)

Thanks for tuning in, YFTers. Love ya, Fam!

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.
