Summary

Wells kicks off the show this week wearing some designer shades because…martinis y’all. They get ya every time. On the plus side, he’s well rested thanks to some accidental sleep divorce. Meanwhile, Brandi is nearing the end of her time at the Sphere but isn’t slowing down anytime soon - more gigs in LA, Nashville, Calgary, then back to Vegas, we’re talking serious frequent flyer points, YFT’ers. Wells had a minor dust-up with a nightclub bouncer in NYC - is the city getting to him?? Maybe the chill vibes of LA are what he really needs right now. But first stop is Maine to golf with McDreamy…not a bad detour if you ask us. Lotsa good faves this week and a frank discussion on how ChatGPT is just a little too friendly…tata for now!!

0:00.0	Yo, yo, yo. Check, check, check. Trying out a different mic configuration today. I don't know.
0:06.6	We'll see how this works. For all you gear heads out there, I'm a big mic guy. And I got to say,
0:12.0	shout out to Zoom. I've been using this H6 for a while. It is a great little recording device.
0:18.7	Honestly, if you're doing a podcast, I would highly recommend this little Zoom.
0:22.7	It's got four outputs. Then you can change like the top one into two more. So you can get six
0:27.4	outputs. You can technically have six people on your podcast. But it also comes with like a little
0:32.0	microphone top, which is what I'm trying out today. I've never used. Usually I just use like a little
0:36.4	SM 58 and I hold it.
0:38.6	But the thing that annoys me is that when I hold it, it makes this noise.
0:44.6	So I'm trying this out today, even though I won't be like really on top of the mic.
0:49.5	I'm wondering if this will sound better.
0:51.8	I'm also wearing sunglasses for those of you watching on the socials. I got new sunglasses. They're Tom Ford. They were expensive as fuck. I don't know why I spent so much money on these sunglasses, but I like them. And since I spend so much money on them, I want to wear them all the time. So I've like to meet my money's worth. Shout out to my Maui gyms, though. I had those Maui gyms for two years. I treated them
1:11.6	like a red-headed stepchild and they never scratched. And then finally, on my first day in
1:17.3	Paradise, I stepped on them and then cracked. If you watch, so you're going to watch Paradise
1:22.2	this season. There's a new production company. So the rules that we had from before didn't really apply this time, which is like a big, like you never wear sunglasses when we film. Like never, you could never do it. And then this production company was like, yeah, do it every day. I don't care. Sure. You look good sunglasses. Why not? So I wear my Maui gyms in the show a lot, and I'm not sure if you're going to be able to see it.
1:45.1	I'm like, I'm not sure if it's going to be like up close enough. But if it is, you're going to see that I'm wearing sunglasses, which a huge crack in it, which I think is hilarious. And I probably should just bought some more Maui gyms, but I went to the Nordstrom's and I got an up sole on these. So, you know, anyways, they're pretty cool.
2:01.5	Bit hungover today, to be honest.
2:04.0	Another reason why I'm wearing and I got up sold on these. So, you know, anyways, they're pretty cool.
2:03.5	Bit hungover today, to be honest.
2:05.4	Another reason why I'm wearing the glasses,
2:11.2	because last night was Sarah's last show on Broadway for the Great Gatsby. And it was lovely and beautiful.
2:14.3	And I really loved this show.
