Summary

Wells turned 42, threw his back out from a sneeze, and found his “first foray in the nether regions.” Meanwhile, Brandi just got back from Vegas where she DJ'd the ACMs pre-show, played every commercial break, never ate, barely saw her friends, and somehow still looked incredible.  

This week we're talking ACM highlights (Ella Langley swept 7 awards, Avery Anna broke brains, and Kacey Musgraves' new single has already moved in rent-free), a long list of favorite things (below), the Benson Boone mullet-mustache epidemic that needs to stop immediately, and Brandi and Matt's ongoing battle over who wins what in their Nashville renovation. And if that’s not enough to reel you in... How about a riveting discussion about death row meals, annoying Vegas travel or which LA Mexican restaurant Wells should get his margarita fishbowl at? Good stuff.  

Now... Tell someone who cares, 'cause I don't. So suck a d*ck and get off my phone. 

Love ya, Fam!

This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation. Where are you going after this? My birthday dinner. Oh! Yeah. Okay. Where are you going? Casa Vega. Of course you are. You know what? I love it. Okay. I always want to go to Costa Vega. And you're so close. It's right there. Dangerous. Now, is the Mexican food crate? No. Do I care about that? Not really. But every time I want to go get Casca, then my wife, of whom I love, she's like, well, if we're just going to go get Mexican food, can we go to Don Cuccos? Also good. Totally agree. But what I like about Casavaga is the griminess of the old school thing, right? So anyways, because it's my birthday or it was my birthday. You guys choose. I was like, can we please go to Cascavega? So anyways, that's what we're doing for. Cute. Yeah. Okay. Love. I'm fucking exhausted.

0:55.6

Why are you obsessed? Oh, I just got back from Vegas and let me tell you guys something.

1:00.5

Tell us. If you're going to fly in or out of Las Vegas, just prepare for delays on delays,

1:06.0

on delays. And if you're leaving Las Vegas to go anywhere, if you do not book your flight before 10 a.m, you will be stuck there. You will be delayed. The longer you stay there for every hour in the day later that your flight is, the more fucked it's going to be. Yeah. And that's just the facts. But you were there for the AMCs? ACMs. Yes. CMAs. No, ACMs. Got it. A CEMs. BET awards. The ACMs called me,

1:36.0

well, not me, but my manager. Like a week beforehand, right? Literally on Monday, not even a week,

1:40.9

called me on Monday and said, we'd love for Brandy to DJ the show yeah oh okay let me

1:46.4

just book travel book glam find a dress work on my music let me just do all that gross

1:52.7

and get out there and um you know super grateful for the opportunity it was very fun was it fun

1:59.6

they worked me like a dog. So were you

2:01.5

DJing like the actual event? Yeah. So the the ACMs aired on Amazon Prime. Unfortunately, I didn't

2:08.2

get shown on Amazon Prime. I didn't get shown on the show. But I DJed the pre-show. So for everybody

2:14.9

actually in the arena at the show, I was the show, the pre-show. And then I played during every commercial break for the people in the audience. Amazing. And like the artists and everybody were there. Yeah, you should have been the one. Like a lot of times they'll do that and they'll like, like the DJ will also be like, and now coming up is Laney Wilson. Yeah. Well, you know, if they ask me back again, I'm going to have some production.

3:24.5

Stipulations. Yeah. But it was fun. But I, it was very, like, award shows are already just such a long day. You know that. I know. But I had to be down there to sound check at 9 a.m. Go back up. I had two hours to take a shower and do glam. had to be back on the carpet, and then had like a 30 minute window to do the carpet before I had to be in there to play the pre-show. And then the pre-show was two hours. And then I played during every commercial break for the two and a half hour show. It was so long. And the only bummer about having to like work it like that is I didn't get to like hang with my friends. Yeah, yeah. You know, because I was up there in the DJ booth during all the commercial breaks when everyone's hanging out. Yeah. But it was fun and really cool. You looked great. I will say that. I saw your dress. Thanks. And I feel like the body is body-oddy-oddding right now. The body's bodying. We love that.
