Brandon Will Never Be Able to Pull Off His New Jacket | The Yak 2-25-26

Brandon received a large, wool-lined leather bomber jacket for Valentine's Day, described as a 'pilot's leather jacket' or a 'John Dutton jacket.' Despite his wife's desire for him to wear it, Brandon expresses apprehension about pulling off the 'bold' look, anticipating ridicule from his colleagues and the public. The crew debates appropriate occasions for such a jacket, ranging from 'looking at land' to 'kicking tires at a used car lot,' but not for everyday wear.

Brandon describes the jacket as a 'big leather bomber jacket with like not fur like like like wool on the inside' and admits, 'I don't know if I can pull it off.' He plans to wear it on the show to 'take the lashings.'

The hosts discuss the increasing difficulty of distinguishing real images and videos from AI-generated fakes. A fake image of a 'Buc-ee's home' is presented as a real possibility, highlighting how convincing AI has become.

Miley, noticing his struggle, retrieved a spare cable from her garage, saving the recording and, in Donnie's words, his career. She also complimented him, calling him 'hottie,' a moment he cherishes despite having to delete the video clip due to PR restrictions.

Donnie explains, 'My first ever podcast recording was Miley Cyrus... Miley is just straight static.' He then recounts, 'Miley Cyrus out of nowhere goes, 'Wait, I think I might like I might have something to save your ass.'' He later adds, 'Miley Cyrus called me hot for lack of a better word.'
