Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi

Brandi has a wild conspiracy about the LaGuardia airport after spending all day there watching flights get grounded under clear blue skies. The only explanation? Aliens. Meanwhile, Wells checks in from a 70mm IMAX screening of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Hot take alert... Tom Holland the weak link. From there it's a full favorite-things run: a Netflix documentary that goes somewhere nobody saw coming, a Hulu thriller you can't look away from, a children's cartoon about a neurodivergent raccoon, and Wells' new life plan to become Ian Fleming and retire to a taco stand on an island with Matt. How wholesome.

A House of the Dragon spoiler-filled breakdown, a debate on The Odyssey's star-studded cast, and this week's new true-crime obsession... All in today's episode of Your Favorite Thing with Wells & Brandi.
This week, Brandi's stuck doing vet duty from her basement while Wells is fresh off a boozy golf trip (no surprise here!) to Branson with Benjamin Higgins and Dean. And, of course, your hosts find themselves in an important debate about milk and lactose, which they'd love your input on in the comments/DMs.
Plus, Brandi may start crock-potting, Wells is still on the "make phones smaller" rant, and he finally admits his true feelings about Jason Momoa.

Wells gets manhandled by his own nieces and nephews in a water basketball game he compares to fighting Jake Paul, then tears up over a dance dedicated to a contestant's late mom on Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro. Brandi has her first ever caviar bump and gets told by Wells that turning one down would be "financially irresponsible," right before she invents a whole new way to say the common phrase "nickel and dime."
They also debate self driving cars and spiral into a full Bigfoot conspiracy (including a theory on female Bigfoots, or "Littlefeets"). They break down Sarah's theory of "pretasting" your food before you even order it, and pitch their dream retirement community for millennials, complete with golf carts and a pool bar.

Wells is recovering from three whirlwind days at The Open Championship. And of course, he returns with some hot takes, a driver named Graham, and a new rule: if your man yells "mashed potatoes" at a golf shot, immediate divorce!! And great news, YFTers, Brandi found a fix for her broken hip! It's called dry needling, not to be confused with Wells' beloved "wet needling." Plus, your favorite hosts provide some valuable information about the diarrhea scare and Venmo. So if you're planning on eating Taco Bell, you've been warned. And if you're the psychopath with your Venmo transactions set to public, we suggest you change that ASAP. And last but certainly not least, Wells has discovered TV's new hero, the Squatter Hunter!
And if you're gonna steal Wells' brilliant restaurant idea, could you at least give him some free omakase?

Wells can't believe that a World Series MVP (Mookie Betts) spent an entire round of golf calling him "Wellsy," and that World Cup tourists are trying to smuggle ranch dressing home through LAX. And Brandi is still knee-deep in a renovation nightmare that keeps getting worse.
As if her reno experience wasn't terrible enough, a dumpster truck ran over two tubs of paint in Brandi's driveway, and one missing sink faucet has turned into a seven-week (and counting) waiting game. Meanwhile Wells had the best 24 hours of his year involving a pool party turned into hotdogs, oysters and martinis, a hungover 8:30am beer at his Golf Channel show, and a round at Lakeside with Dodgers star Mookie Betts where he shot the best round of his life, which led him to drink more, because personal best, duh! They came into today's episode with nothing prepped ("literally zilch"), so they end up settling the aioli-vs-ranch debate and workshop who'd be Matt's real-life hall pass since, apparently, he "doesn't have one."

Ransom Canyon Season 2 (Netflix)
