Summary

Right off the bat, Wells goes into a full-blown rant about the current state of our world… Spoiler: it’s in shambles. The government can’t keep their sh*t together, and churches won’t help a fake starving baby get formula. What TF is happening here?

The shutdown leaves Wells with some BIG questions: Why are TSA agents government employees? And, what will happen if flights stop before Thanksgiving? “God forbid it’s Pop-Pop’s last Thanksgiving.”

Meanwhile, Brandi’s confirmed that the holiday shoppers are out in full force, and finding a formal outfit for an insanely tall man (AKA Matt) is basically impossible. To add to their long list of current complaints, DWTS really dropped the ball with their celebrity judge pick (justice for Alix Earle), and J-Lo wasted Wells’ time with her sci-fi flop, Atlas.

On the bright side, Wells introduces us to baseball’s most chaotic legend, Rube Waddell, Miley snagged a Grammy nomination, and Dirty Grandpa turns British for Wells’ new show Sweet Empire—a show you don’t want to miss. And even when the world’s falling apart, Wells still pulls through for y’all with some new soundboard jingles. Only the best for our YFTers.

0:00.0	This podcast is brought to you by Podcast Nation.
0:05.3	Put on a little deal, sitting on a fan.
0:10.3	I don't want to be there.
0:15.3	YFTA's.
0:17.4	What is going on out there?
0:22.3	A freaking government still shut down.
0:25.0	Dude, the government sucks so hard.
0:27.5	You guys have one job and it's to keep the government from not shutting down and you fuck it up every couple of years we have to do this.
0:34.3	And now no one's able to travel.
0:37.4	Also, why does the government have to be
0:39.8	involved in our travel? I don't understand that either. Can it be just privately run? Like,
0:45.7	can't we just have the air traffic controllers be kind of all paid for by the airlines? I don't
0:52.7	understand. Anyways, so dumb. But here's the thing, dude. What happens if this
0:57.4	thing stays shut down into Thanksgiving? People are going to lose their minds. I wasn't able to go
1:06.1	to Sarasota to see my sister. I had a round trip ticket to Tampa to see my dying father. And because you guys couldn't figure out the fucking government, I had to stay home. And now he's dead. I hope that doesn't happen, but I have a, it might though. It might. I had to go out to New York, you know, to do the holidays with Sarah. I'm going to get stuck there. I'm going to get stuck out there. Which is fine. Whatever, who cares. When do you think the government shutdown is going to be over? The U.S. government shutdown, which started on October 1st, 2025, is currently in its 40th day. And is the longest in U.S. history. Senate Majority Leader John Thune mentioned that a vote on a funding measure is planned for today.
1:47.9	So there's hope that the shutdown could end soon, but no official end date has been confirmed yet.
1:53.2	Okay.
1:53.9	Well, that's annoying.
1:54.9	Dude, so much is freaking going on.
1:57.1	There's a lot of things that I love right now.
1:58.8	But I think my favorite thing on TikTok is this woman who is pretending that she has run out a baby formula and is calling different churches with this baby crying in the background sound that she found on YouTube and asking churches if they could give her some baby formula.
2:19.1	The baby's starving.
