Rise and Roast: BIP Edition

Rise and shine YFT’ers, Wells was up at 7am this morning after studying BIP drama all night and is ready to bring the hot takes on just about everything that’s happened so far on the show! Brand-eye is right there too unpacking Susie blowing up Justin’s plan, Jeremy’s meltdown over Bailey and Suzy, and Brian and Parisa’s mob energy. Wells spills behind-the-scenes tea from the kissing booth twist to arm-wrestling fails, while Brandi calls out the Goldens crossover, Dale’s half-truths, and Bailey’s loyalty to the wrong guy. They debate who (if anyone) actually stands a chance, roast the accidental church camp vibes, and agree that Paradise is messier than ever which is…perfect.  Also on deck: Favorite things, Wells raving about Redwood bike strolls, Brandi talking laser hair removal, and big promises to drop the ep on time next week.

Bachelor in Paradise is BACK with sexy new cameras, fresh format twists, and a HUGE change... no more “Almost Paradise” theme song?! Wells is sharing all the behind-the-scenes from his return as the Bartender this season. Good Morning America might not have remembered his name, but after this season’s BIP interviews… no one will forget him! Today is a special one because not only is Brandi in town recording from Wells’ new Masters-themed studio, but Wells’ mom is also visiting and getting her first taste of ChatGPT — aka “Smarty Pants,” the 14-year-old AI boy who is way too friendly. We also get Wells' take on things we should and shouldn’t be taught to worry about and a certain 2025 phrase that must be stopped! They’ve even got some favorite things, bros! Brandi finished The Better Sister, started We Were Liars, and Wells’ stepdad discovered a sleeper classic called Tortilla Soup. And the cherry on top? We’re blessed with a sneak peek of Brandi’s remix of Kelsea Ballerini’s song, Penthouse. Thank you to our sponsors: Article: Go to ⁠article.com/yft⁠ for $50 off your first purchase of $100 or more.

Wells is living his very own Home Alone while Sarah's off on a "no boys allowed" trip to France. Is he losing his mind? Highly likely. Between dodging clothing bombs, lighting every candle in the house, and skipping his blood pressure meds, let’s just say… he’s whelmed. Meanwhile, Brandi’s finally back after 7 straight weeks of gigs and chaos. Adulting is hard... 0/10, do not recommend. But she comes prepared with tales of accidental sex clubs, butter tits tank top recommendations, and a stacked list of favorite things. Next week is the return of Bachelor in Paradise! So, prepare yourselves for the BIP content shift here on YFT. And it’s your lucky day cause we’ve got voicemails from an ex-Mormon with a grammar vendetta and a listener with a big ol’ “F*ck You” for the state of Georgia. It’s a lot. But it’s a good lot.

Wells is back in L.A. after a whopping 67 days on the road and can FINALLY sleep in his own bed! Is there anything better than that?? Well, how about sleeping in your own bed WITHOUT chainsaws running full blast next door? Yeah that does sound better, actually. True story right now for our guy. But ear-aches aside, this week’s ep is Brandi-less, so guess who makes a dirty appearance reading possibly the most r-rated story we’ve ever seen. 😲 Meanwhile, your host details his epic come-from-behind-back-from-the-dead golf victory at the McDreamy tournament he played in Portland, ME. YFTer’s, when we say it was a win for the ages, that is not an understatement. Side note, Wells’ caddie was easily the best dressed. But this episode isn’t just about golf, there’s still plenty of fave things, anecdotes on bad hotel coffee and anxious flight attendants, as well as some A+ listener VM’s about bidets and liquid fingers to round things out. It’s a fun one, enjoy!! Thanks to our awesome sponsors for supporting this episode!  Mood: Get 20% off your first order at Mood.com/YFT with promo code YFT.

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!! Favorite things this week: Mountain Head Good Night, Good Luck (On Broadway!) Cabaret (On Broadway!) Death Becomes Her (On Broadway!)

Brandi is down bad with a Vegas-induced illness (dry desert air: 1, Branzino: 0), but she’s still powering through to bring the vibes this week, dear YFT’ers. Meanwhile, Wells has big thoughts on family genetics, what car rental companies to avoid and best of all…what makes a GOOD charcuterie board. Basically, don’t ever tell him that Triscuits and blue cheese don't have a seat at the table, mmkay? Also up for debate: Is Owen Wilson just playing Owen Wilson in everything? Brand-eye thinks so. Check out the fave things list this week to decide on your own. Wells also shares a tragic tale of being snubbed at a fancy omakase restaurant despite open tables - can’t they just seat one person at their totally empty bar?? We’ll shout that for eternity…or until the new show next week. Ok byeeeee!

Wells is basically an NYC local now. In this week’s ep he dishes hot takes on the yummiest food, best broadway shows and sneakiest Central Park shortcuts. And he might just be the most tanned tour guide in all of New York state right now. Brandi meanwhile has been getting some incredible boob affirmation at her Sphere shows, along with special guesties joining her on stage (Hi, Dasha) to get the crowd extra hyped. It’s been a wild ride so far. Also, your hosts did their homework this past week and have a TON of faves for you, dear YFT’ers! From Sirens to Handmaids to Murder Mysteries there’s something for everyone, y’all. Throw in some chats about Miley’s new album and film, Brandi’s upcoming tour schedule and Wells’ steamy golf date with McDreamy and this ep has the makings of a masterpiece. Tune in for all the deets!

Sphere-life has begun YFT fam! This week Brandi is in Vegas broadcasting from a place called ‘Mormon House’ - just down the road from a real Mormon temple which according to Bran might be the most beautiful building ever AND the most judge-y all in one. This of course leads to an epic debate: is having a 'Mormon Face' all about natural glow or just…genetics on repeat? Meanwhile, Wells is no longer sweating it out in Costa Rica—Bachelor in Paradise has wrapped production, and your guy has some big cinematic promises for the new season. Instead he’s in French Lick, Indiana, because why would you not want to go to a place called French Lick?? The bumper stickers alone would be worth the price of the plane ticket. Brandi details out the highs and lows of her first two shows at The Sphere - lost gear, USPS heroics and Kenny Chesney hittin all the right notes. What’s not to love? Lastly, your hosts ask if the YFT fam has ever had to bend the truth in the name of a good story? Tell us yours in the VM’s and comments y’all, we wanna hear them!

Nothing but the pure life for Wells this week. Sun tans, surprise birthday decorations, spanish TV, and wait…back pain? Dammit. Side effect of turning 41 we guess. But hey, no complaints when you’re in paradise, right? Meanwhile, Brandi just wrapped up at Sand In My Boots Festival where by all accounts her sets were straight litty kitty, and now she’s got The Sphere in her sights as she preps for 5 weeks in Vegas w/ country music guy Kenny Chesney! Your hosts then debate the merits of street vs book smarts, wonder if you can watch a TV show AND read the book at the same time, and dive deep into an Aladdin revision theory that actually kinda makes sense…speaking of The Sphere, have you been? And have you ‘enhanced’ your experience with anything? We wanna know! Hit us up in the VMs with your thoughts. Till next week…ok byeeee. Favorite Things this week: The Eternaut (en Español!)

We’re switching things up a bit this episode, YFTer’s. Sure we still talk about the important stuff like what makes the best breakfast sandwich and mysteriously gifted horse sweaters, but the heart of this episode comes from Brandi’s main squeeze Matt, who shares his unbelievable story of riding a vintage Harley across Afghanistan. From navigating sketchy roads and shady border crossings to spreading his best friend’s ashes—accidentally in an active minefield—Matt’s journey is wild, moving, and totally unforgettable. This might be YFT’s most badass guest yet. Buckle up, because this episode rides the Ring Road and somehow ends at Stagecoach! 🏍️ 🦅 Thanks to our awesome sponsors for supporting this episode!  Mood: Get 20% off your first order at Mood.com/YFT with promo code YFT.
