Today's episode of the Nate Land podcast is brought to you by Indeed, AG1, Ibotta, and Viore. Good day, mate. And hey, koala. That was my thought of that over in Australia. All right. Welcome to the Nate Land podcast. It's nice to be back. Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, Dusty Slay.

Uh, yeah, we're back. Got my, uh, crocodile hunter shirt on. I had to get it with, uh, this is like the actual one that Steve Irwin, that's what they wear. It's like a game worn Jersey. Yeah. I went to the, yeah, I went to the zoo, the Irwin zoo. And, uh, it was, you know, I like Steve Irwin. It was a lot more impactful, I think on my life than I might've even realized.

Because they were showing clips of it, like, during one of the things. And I've seen every clip. And I was, like, trying to think. I was like, man, how old was I when this show was on? I mean, I wasn't a kid. It was probably 2008. I think he died in 2006. But it's probably 2003, right? When I started comedy. I was probably 17, 18, like, watching. But I watched this show.

I mean, every clip they showed, I was like, I remember that episode of it. Like out of all shows, I don't remember many episodes of stuff. And this, you know, besides Seinfeld or something, but crocodile hunter, I was like, yep. Yep. I remember all this. Wow. Yeah. Did y'all watch crocodile hunter? I watched it a little bit. It was an animal planet. Yeah.

I remember him mostly from coming on the late shows and appearances like that. He kind of transcended his own show. I don't know if I ever sat down and watched that television show. I didn't realize it until we were sitting. He has this coliseum where it's all surrounded. In the middle is water and some land. They have birds flying and a crocodile comes in.

And he said they built it. Him and Russell Crowe were friends. And he went and saw 300 and saw the Coliseum and was like, we should do something like that. Like at the, you know, and then everybody's watching us.

get with this crocodile or whatever. And so he did build it. Gladiator? Yeah. Gladiator. Yeah. Okay. Oh, you said 300. Maybe I did. Yeah. Yeah. But he saw Gladiator. Yeah. With Russell Crowe. And, uh, so that's what inspired him to, to make that. And then he did, and then he did it. And, uh,

I don't think he ever... I thought they said he didn't see it finished, but they were starting to do it. But everything is done in his vision, everything that he wanted to do. They're just a great family. He built an animal hospital too there that his mom wanted. When his parents... They started the zoo...

very young and this animal hospital is in a shack. It was like nothing. And now it's this giant thing. And they do a thing. Anybody, I mean, others use, I might do this, but like anybody can bring in any animal. Uh, so it gets hit like on the road or you find an animal, they're open 24 hours and you go drop it off and you get to name it when you drop it off because they, it needs a name. And it's like, they had like, uh, this lizard that,

when I was in there that looked like it got hit with a weed whacker as we call it. They might've called it a something Willie snapper or they said something like that. They're like a Willie snapper got after it. And we're like, huh? Like we think that's some animal over there. And then, uh, whippersnapper, whippersnappers, whippersnappers. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Because it looks like a whippersnapper. They call weeds whippers.

I don't know. I didn't get that far. But they call that a whipper. A weed whacker is a whippersnapper. Whippersnapper. I like that. I call it a weed eater. Yeah. That's what we always called it. I could see that. I think we could. Yeah. It's not really eating it, though. That doesn't seem fair to the animal, though, that some dummy...

hits the animal and they get to name him, the animal should be like, I get to, that's the last guy I want giving me a name. Well, it's whoever finds it. You're talking about like if the guy hits it. Yeah, like with his car and they bring it in. All right, you get to name him. Well, but at least he brought it in though. You could hit him and then just drive off. He didn't hit the thing intentionally either, Brian. People make mistakes. Well, mm-hmm.

I mean, yeah. We should have you in there as a kind of a court of law. Yeah. That just kind of read the room and goes, I ain't buying this. Yeah. A whippersnapper. He goes, where were you whippersnipping? Where were you whippersnipping? Yeah. He goes, over, you know, golly lag. Let's go see it. Let's go look at it. I ran over a turtle with a lawnmower one time and some real tall grass as a kid. It really made me sad. I took it to the vet.

Yeah. What happened? They told me they were going to, they had the ability to put another shell on it. I think they killed it. Transplant? They took it outside. Yeah. They buried it. But it made me feel better at the time as a kid. They go, we're going to put another shell on it. Then you just, as you walk out, you just hear, just throwing it on the ground. Yeah.

They got a hammer going at it. You go, what is it? We're taking the shell off. Yeah. It's just a lot of work. And hearing like it's a NASCAR, like they're changing tires. But it made me sad. I love turtles. I love turtles. Yeah. They're the best. They are. They have, it's our animal, the turtle, right? Our reptile.

Tennessee box turtle. Is it? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Came back smarter. Yeah. Yeah. You know a lot of things. It's all just reptile facts though. It's nothing else. Yeah. It was, yeah, I held, we got to hold a koala. So it's illegal to do that there, but you can do it only basically at that zoo. Cause it's like, gotta be like, it's regulated in this place. But I'll tell you what,

They, it smelled awful. The whole country? No. Oh. That's what I thought. Yeah, the whole country. I go, I'll tell you what. And you know what? And I'm not afraid to say it. That's how bad it smells over in that country. They should know. Clean it up. No, a koala bear. Yeah, this is the... That is a leap to go. We're talking about the park. You go the whole country? Yeah. Yeah.

No, I was with Aaron on that. We're not talking about Louisville, Aaron.

Where my whole family's from. Oh, yeah. They're all here, actually. All Louisville's here. Oh, really? Yeah. My cousin Chris got married, and then so Tuesday's here, and Aunt Cindy and all of them. My Aunt Cindy says, instead of toilet, she says torlet. Oh, gosh. Because we say, didn't y'all talk about that? Warsh. Warsh. My whole family says warsh. Wow. My parents do from Louisville. Warsh and our family.

Apparently, I'm going to take a shower. Shower? Shower. I can see shower. But wash. Wash. Doesn't make sense to me at all. Well, my aunt Cindy says toilet. Toilet. Yeah, that doesn't make sense. Toilets. I kind of like it. Put some R's in there. Yeah. What about the word ruin? They always go rert. Rert. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what we said growing up. That's rert.

So the koala smelled bad. But the koala, it was, yeah, it was the male. And it just like, it was like BO. I mean, it was insane. I held it for a minute and I was like, I can't even do it. It was like Seinfeld's, the valet, the car. I mean, I couldn't even handle it. And all I thought about the rest of it, I mean, it was awesome getting to do it. But I'm being honest, the rest of the day, I just thought, I can't wait to, I got to go wash this jacket.

I can't be wearing this jacket because you just smelt it on me. Do they all smell that bad or did you catch one? I think it was a male. She said the male gland. So like he was, it was, I don't know, like mating season or there's a reason they do that. It works in their world, but

But I'm saying as a visitor holding it. It didn't make you attracted to them. I'm saying if you ever run across a chance, I don't think you have a choice. You've got to hold what you hold. But if they go, you want a male or female, I'd ask for them. Yeah. Find out what summer, what month it is. Yeah. And be like, where are they at?

Do you have a picture of you holding it? I do. I have a bunch of pictures. Are you holding it, though, like you'd hold a kid, like it's got its arms around your neck or whatever? These are endangered? That surprises me. Are they? Koalas? It says they're an endangered species. I thought they were like a problem over there. No. I think that's kangaroos. Yeah, kangaroos are everywhere. Do you see a bunch of kangaroos? No.

No. But it'd be like seeing, if you went to Manhattan, you'd see a bunch of deer. Oh, yeah. Good point. I mean, that's what someone said to us. I saw one hit on the side of the road.

That was a lot. A kangaroo roadkill? Yeah. I think about trying to do it as a joke, though, is the only thing. But it's like, the idea of the joke is like, it's just, it's pretty crazy to see. You're used to deer. Mm-hmm. But to see a kangaroo, like, that would be, we have them in a zoo. Like, it'd be a luxury to see one. And you just see it. And you're like, oh, golly. But it was a...

Yeah, the whole experience. Let me see if I can. I have the koala. Rhino. What do I do? You can airdrop it to me. Oh, yeah. Eagle. I mean, they had all kinds of stuff. Airdrop. Oh, you found. Airdrop is a. It's pretty awesome, man. It's amazing.

Yeah, it really is. It's when people make arguments against Macs. They're like, you don't need a Mac. I go, well, I use AirDrop all the time. I don't either. AirDrop is a huge selling point, though. Oh, yeah. Wow, look at that. Yeah. So there's the old Quala. So this thing just reeks. I mean, I'm putting on a smile. We would not be going on another date. I would...

It's got some claws there. Yeah. Yeah, they're very sweet. This is like an older one. Do you know the age of this one? This isn't a newborn, I can tell. No. It's got kind of an Albert Einstein look to it. It does. Give me what's about to die. Just mange on its back. He was dead. He's got something going on on the back there. Yeah. 54 years old. He's decomposing. That's why he smelled so bad. He does have an Albert Einstein look. Yeah. Yeah.

That was, you know, like a... Porcupine. Porcupine, kind of. You could pet it the other way. It was eating. This was right when we got there. They had this set up. I mean, out of the gate, we were...

You just walk in the zoo and I was holding a koala within a minute. Oh, yeah. So you had to walk around with that jacket the rest of the zoo. Yeah, save it for the end. Yeah. So you can pet a porcupine one way. One way. You can't come back. No. You're like, this is not me. I was holding a koala. Yeah. I would be very self-conscious the rest of the time. Yeah.

Now, yeah, you can't. They're like the things you drive over with the rental car. You can only go the one way. If you come back, you're done. Yeah. And when you pet them, I mean, I don't know if there's the worth of petting them is not enough to, you know, when you pet it, it's what you think. Yeah. It's like petting Velcro. Yeah. It's like you just rub Velcro and you're like, all right. That's like the front of the zoo.

So, like, when I saw it, it was, I mean, it was just so crazy. I mean, he's got the shirt I got on. I bought it. I loaded it up. Yeah. It was, he's just a, I'm just a giant fan of that. Yeah. I was a giant fan of that show. Giant fan. Like, it's a very family thing. And it just, and everybody that works there is, you know, they love it.

which I would say a lot of zoos, when you go to it, the people that work there, you have to obviously love it. Cause I, you know, you think you're just with these animals, but it's, you got to really love that world or you're going to be driven crazy. But it was, it was pretty special to go there. I mean, it was crazy to be there.

Because I mean, I really watch this show a lot. I'm a giant fan. So we didn't Derwins weren't there when we were there. It's they were like, they go do something in August. I feel like it's crocodile related.

They're the family that you think they are. They're in it. They're hands-on. They're not like the royal family. They're there. I think if they're there, you're probably going to see them. Robert, the son. Because it's kind of his zoo, I think, now. But you're going to see them. That's what I said last week. I said Robert's running the show. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And he's got the same enthusiasm as dad had. And like, you know, and you talk about, you know, but it was like I watched this. I mean, I watched the show like it was. I mean, I loved I loved Crocodile Hunter. It was. Yeah. The whole thing was great. Yeah. So the trip was great. Let's move on. Yeah. I loved every all Australia. I'll tell you, it's in New Zealand. The crowds are great.

Got a few hay bears, which is very cool to hear. Uh, you're on another planet. Phil, you're so far away from your, it was almost a nice break. Cause no one can really, uh, get ahold of you. Cause you're just so your hours are so messed up. So I would, when I wake up, I'd be calling cause Harper and Laura with me for the first eight days. And then they came home cause she had school. And, uh,

So then I would call them like I'll be going. I'd be waking up and they'd be like, all right, good night, going to bed and then vice versa. Wow. Like I'd be, you know, I'd call her, Laura, it'd be 1230 at night. I'm like, all right, I'm about to go to bed. And, you know, she's like, all right, good night. It's not 10 a.m. or something or maybe it's 7 a.m. or 830. Like I would call them that late.

And it'd be right when Harper's going to school. Were you flying from place to place once you got there or were you driving across the country? No, you, you fly. I don't think, I think you could drive it's, you know, it's America. So it's, it's basically, you know, when we had to Perth, it's like going New York, California. Uh, we did Sydney first, then, uh, Melbourne, uh,

and then Perth and Brisbane and then New Zealand. Travel there, air travel there. It's pre-9-11 travel here. It's awesome.

I mean, I did not show my ID or passport once. Really? I love that. Not one time. Gosh, I love that. Enough that we were flying. The domestic travel was, it's like you just, you promise you have a flight? You go, yeah, I promise. And then they let you on the plane. I wish there was some trust left in our country. Yeah. I mean, that's great. That's what I was, I tried to do it as a joke there. I was saying it as a joke. I was like, where it's, you know, we're just so strict now.

So ridiculous. Yeah. Like that, you go there, it's like going to your, you know, your uncle that never got married. You go to his house where it's like, he's like, you want to drive the truck? Yeah. And you're like, I can drive the truck. He's like, you can drive the truck. Like, it's just a fun place. They, you know, it felt like a place where people love their, they love their country. They love where they're from. It's, it's, you know, like a very, very welcoming place.

I mean, I really, really loved it. I really did. And you go such a far away. I did not mind the flight as much. And it's just I mean, you're just out there, dude. I mean, you're so in the New Zealand when you go there, you're just you're even farther. Your New Zealand is the first like like Auckland, I think, is the first major city that sees the sunrise. Mm hmm.

So you're just like, you see the sun. You're like, you're, you know, I see it. I can give you, let you know how it's going. I'd love to go there. New Zealand always seems so great. Australia too. But New Zealand always seems so green. So. Well, if you go to one, I would probably go to the other. Yeah. While I'm there. Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't just pick. I'd go to both. I mean, I look, I hope to go back. It was, yeah. I mean, the travel, I had someone,

You know, like they make you sign an autograph. Someone has a picture to make you sign an autograph. So I'm walking to my plane and like I didn't get recognized. I got recognized a couple of times by Americans like, you know, but we had a lot of people to show and stuff like that. But it's not like anything crazy. And but there was a guy sitting at my gate when I'm walking to get on the plane. And I had to sign a he had like a big glossy thing. And I'm like, how is he at the gate?

You know, did he buy like you have to buy a ticket? Oh, yeah. You have to go through security. If this guy didn't buy a ticket, then I'm thinking I'm like, well, I'm not even showing my ticket. I'm just going. So it is it is truly flying. You know, the old days where you could just like you could go have lunch at the airport. You just got to go through security. Yeah, that's it.

They look at your passport when you first landed from America. Yeah. Yeah. But then after that, after that, it's you pop around. I mean, where that travels. So it's just so much easier. You can just kind of go later. And, you know, it's really like, you know, your days are flying. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty great. I love that. Yeah. I liked it a lot, too. Went to Perth, got my haircut in Perth.

uh soulsby i believe is the guy's name uh or a shop and uh he was very nice and reached out to us and so we needed a hair you know you're you're we're gone for 18 days uh so uh perth we didn't really get to spend much time that's supposedly that rottenness island is supposed to be crazy perth we did not get to spend much time because we were really only there for a day but that's the most isolated city in the world

Wow. Wow. And it's, uh, cause there's just nothing in the middle of Australia. So much just desert around it. Yeah. Yeah. That was, that's like traveling from New York to LA to get there. Yeah. It was, it was, uh, I think it was like a three and a half hour flight, four hour flight. And then, uh,

You know, New Zealand. So we went to a World Cup game. Australia versus Canada. Australia won easily. It was very fun. Harper got to go. Australia versus Canada? Mm-hmm. And so I was like, if we've ever wanted to beat someone, I'll tell you what, I'm rooting for Australia. Gets Dusty's wife. Yeah. But it was Australia. And Australia's still in it, which would be awesome if they won just because it's the home.

That's where they're doing it. And, uh, but yeah, getting to go to a world cup game was, was awesome. Like it was in Melbourne. It just kind of worked out like, like they were, they, the players are in Melbourne, Sydney, New Zealand. They were playing all these cities and it just kind of worked out that like we were in Melbourne one night and they were playing. And, uh, so we went to that, uh, and that was like, yeah, they said that was great. Uh, road bikes. I liked Melbourne and Brisbane a lot. Uh,

I liked Sydney. Sydney's like New York. So it's, you kind of, you're in it when you're there. It's beautiful though. But Melbourne and Brisbane were, I really enjoyed those cities. They look, they're very pretty. In New Zealand, my one joke that I said, there's a New Zealand joke. So they have a rugby team and their name is All Blacks. And I said, just, I was like, just give y'all a little reference.

If y'all come to America and someone says, what's your favorite sports? Don't go the all blacks. I got just get our do it, but just give some context pretty quickly after it. Yeah. And then you can't. And then I was like, they go, uh,

they go, all right, what about basketball? You're like, well, that's the tall blacks. That's the name of the basketball team, the tall blacks. Wow. That's the real name. Wow. Yeah. And then they have, the little league is called the small blacks. And that's, and that's, that's their names. And it's, and they, they have a store, they have a store in the airport. You could have bought an all black shirt. I actually liked the name and they wear all black and like, yeah, but it was, uh, what was the weather like? Uh,

55, 60. Not bad. It's their winner. It's their winner. Yeah. So it was, we, we golfed. Uh, I got some hats. So aware for golf. Uh, we golfed at realm Royal Melbourne. That was probably the most windy day. It's a, uh, a Royal Queensland. We golfed at, and then, uh, Tia Raya, Tara Raya in New Zealand. And that, and, uh, all of them top notch courses. I know people don't care about golf, but,

uh terror i was in new zealand is i mean you're just it is one it's probably one of the prettiest courses i've ever played i mean it's just you're just on the edge of the world yeah i mean it's you know it's so crazy like you're just sitting there and it's just you just feel so far away you go because new zealand to uh sydney because we had to take that flight to come home that's

I want to say it was like three hour flight. Wow. So you're in an airplane for three hours. That's how far New Zealand is from Australia. Which is already far away from everything. It's already far away from everything. I mean, you're down there. When you're there, the people that are from Australia, you're from, I mean, you're over there, dude. So is New Zealand a country part of the continent of Australia?

They're a country. I don't know if they're... I think they are. Because I think technically it's Oceania is the continent. Okay. Sounds right. Whippersnapper. So are the other... Are they provinces of Australia? Territories. Territories. State or territory. Okay. They have those. And they all come from... I've been to Australia, but it's probably changed a lot since I've been there. Yeah. Well, I think Perth was invented. Yeah.

There's a lot more aboriginals when I was there. Yeah. They're, uh, we got a lot of local stuff here. Yeah. No one knew Steve Irwin when I was there. When you're there, they go, we can fly you to Europe. You got a boat over. Yeah. We don't really know where Australia is at yet. Uh,

Australia, somewhat new. New Zealand's a new country. I think it was like 1840. Wow. I found a lot of stuff. I remember I was trying to do jokes. So I was kind of, but New Zealand is, you know, pretty new, pretty crazy. It just seems like such a beautiful place. Yeah. 1840. I mean, it says like, yeah, there's people, obviously people before whatever, but it was became a country in 1840.

And they got a responsible government in 1856. That's what the Wikipedia says. That went away. Is that what everybody says? They finally, that's what we should call the government. We finally got a responsible government. We'll have to get one first, right? Yeah, it was...

So a lot of birds. Joe's a big bird watcher. Yeah. So he saw, I think 67 something new birds. Wow. Crazy. Yeah. I mean, cause when you're a bird watcher, do you have like a huge checklist for your life and you try to check them all? Yeah. He's on e-birds or something. Yeah. I think it's e-bird or something. So you go through and you just mark them off. You track everything you see.

Yeah. I mean, I would have seen 40 something if I would, or, you know, if I cared, I would have had, you didn't keep track. No, I mean, I tried, we did it. Cause it's like, you know, it's, I don't mind doing something when someone is very into it. Yeah. It's fun. All right. We're I'll, I'll get into this. Uh, but I got into it as much as I could get into, you know, I mean, you,

You can tell my love is not the same as Joe's love for it. Yeah. There's a lot of him you go, all right. Birds are wild too, though. It's like just sometimes even just Tennessee's pretty good bird watching. And they'll just a bird will pop up one day. You're like, oh, I've never seen that bird before. And it's great. Yeah. Yeah. They had a hast eagle or something. And I mean, it's bigger than this table.

Wow. It's enormous. Yeah. The haste eagle is extinct. But so they, yeah, we saw them though. You should probably report that to somebody. Joe put it in his e-bird thing. But they have a bird that's, so they brought up the haste eagle, but then there's another bird that's still around that's bigger than that. Okay. And so I know how to do, I know how to do Celsius too now.

Really? Yeah. You're going to stick to it. Give me a Celsius number and zero. Well, that's 32, but give me this 30, 20, 20 is about 70. So you go 20 times two is 40. Then you add 30, 70. Really? Yeah. That's in, that's the basically, I don't know. It's always exact, but you're going to go backwards. Could you go the other way? 85. So I go 85 minus two is a minus 30 is 55. Yeah.

And 80 is 40. So 55, 40, 10. Is it 15? I don't know. 85. I was thinking in the 20s. 27. 30. 29.4 degrees Celsius. Oh, yeah. Because 20 is 70. So ballpark. Yeah. So I guess you would just kind of know 20 is 70. And then I'll just play around from there is what. It's like Kramer. Well, night's a little harder. Yeah. Yeah.

So you have an, I see if you tell me 20 degrees Celsius, I don't know what that means at all. I don't even know. I know from setting my temperature in my room and all that stuff is like, we want about 18 degrees Celsius. Well, it's interesting that zero is 32 because there's, if you, you know, multiply zero by two at zero and then you add 30. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. Yeah.

Yeah. I love that. That'll help me. I got some Canadian in-laws. Yeah. Sometimes we're communicating Celsius and Fahrenheit. There they go. It's brutal today. It's 30. You go, I ain't going out. You come up, bring a jacket, bring a big coat. Yeah. Because that could happen. You could show up. But it's 90. You go, you told me it was 30 and you brought only winter clothes. Yeah. Because no one really, I wonder if that happens to families.

Someone, they don't, I bet it does too. They go, they just, someone's going to visit, you know, someone's from Alabama. That's like, I don't know. My cousin married a girl from Canada, which is basically marrying someone from Mars. Yeah. And so then your family's got to go up there to the wedding and they go now, you know, it's going to be 30 all week. And they go,

And they already think Canada's cold. So they're like, oh my God. Yeah. I mean, that's, it doesn't even really get that cold that often in Alabama. Yeah. Yeah. So then they go buy stuff at Bass Pro Shop to spend easy $200 to go to this wedding. Yeah.

And they get there and they can use none of it. Cause it's, it's 90 degrees. 86. 86. Yeah. Yeah. While you were gone, Dusty's wife became a US citizen. That is true. Yeah. She's official. Yeah. Congrats. Yeah. That's awesome. So. Yeah. So you're a citizen now, I think. She is. Yeah. And your kids are? Kids are, I think she's going to work on that. Okay. Are you going to become a Canadian citizen? No. No.

Any interest in that? No, I mean, I'm good. You know, I mean, you know, I'd love to hear more about New Zealand. I'd like to live there. Actually, I'd never heard of this most isolated city in the world. Yeah. I'm interested in that. It's a it's a cool city, though. But yeah, I mean, it is. You're out there. You know, when you think about where you would go.

If you know, like say this, you know, you ever think about like if you left this America, what country? I don't know where I would want to go. Australia could be very up there because you're just you're out there. New Zealand, you're just on you're on your you're you're on your own. You're way out there. Yeah. You know, they still speak English. They speak English. Pretty, pretty important. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was. Yeah, I love the whole I'm a giant fan.

is one of the best places i've ever been to like i like where you're like oh i could stay and you're we're there so long i mean you get you're just like you know you're in your own world and then next year like gotta come home and you're like you gotta get back into i mean i want to come home but you're just like you know when we were out there with our when lauren harper out there it's like you're just out there and like you can't you really can't talk to anybody you just kind of

We had tours set up and we went and saw a bunch of stuff. Yeah, it was fun. Well, if you do relocate, you're probably going to need a job. Maybe you want to upload to Indeed.

And let me tell you something, Brian, finding great talent doesn't have to be a second job. You keep saying it does, but I'm telling you it doesn't. You can hire faster and better with Indeed. You just need to breathe, take it easy, keep it simple. If you're hiring, you need Indeed, and here's why. It is the hiring platform where you can attract, interview, and hire all in one place. Stop spending hours on multiple job sites looking for candidates with the right skills. Bird watching. So there's Joe, his habitat.

Bird watching. Loves it. Chase. That's Chase. Chase with binoculars backwards. Yeah. I'm just kidding. There's Joe getting into it. This guy. He's seen 657 birds. Does Joe wear glasses? Yeah. What's he do with the binoculars and the glasses? He has them on.

I can't get. Oh, he does. Yeah. I can't get binoculars to work with. So there's a thing that you kind of you kind of pull them out a little bit. Like this should be like at the eye part. You kind of pull it out a little bit. Oh, OK. Maybe I need that. So there's this at the World Cup game. Oh, yeah. Very fun. How big is this? This is bigger than a college football game or is it comparable or. Yeah, maybe it's 50,000. Yeah.

That's big. Yeah, I'm kind of guessing. And then that's one of the places I performed. It's a cool theater. Yeah, it was very cool.

God, where was that? Melbourne or Brisbane? Australia. It was Melbourne. Melbourne. Because I saw Arj Barker. Arj Barker, a very funny comedian. I saw, that's the guy, I was going to just show him, Soulsby, that he cut our hair. Very cool guy. Fan of the podcast. Fan of, you know. And now he helps you with your diet. Helps me with my diet. I heard him.

So, yeah. Arch Barker. Did you see this? I posted this on my stories. This elevator, this hotel we stayed at, Emporium. Now. Look at the elevator. Like when you go in. I was amazed by this. Every. Whoa. Yeah. How fun is that? That's awesome. Yeah. And they would have different ones.

They had, well, they had a shark that kept like hitting the glass and I only saw it once. I didn't get video of it. I kept trying to get every time I opened it, I was, I mean, it makes right in the elevator. I couldn't wait for it. I mean, I was like, oh wow. We're about to see. And then. Wow. Still no. Yeah. I just spent an hour or two on that elevator. Oh, I could ride it all day long.

Some people get on it, and they're not even really acknowledging it. And you're like, how are you not acknowledging what we're in right now? They're not riding these boring elevators like we ride all the time around here. Yeah. Maybe Australia's like, this is a normal... Yeah. Some plaque of the... They do it all day long. Yeah. Of the person that checks the elevators. Yeah, yeah. Cherry Berry out in North Carolina. Is that who it is? Yeah, it's Cherry Berry or something like that. That checks the...

She was like the North Carolina elevator checker, whatever that title is. I wonder how much do they check elevators? There's a sign in all of them that has a date on it. Yeah. Someone signs it. Yeah. You're like, how do you check an elevator? They ride in it and they go, seems good. Aaron, jump in here. Yeah.

A little stress test. Yeah. Yeah. They do have to do it once a year, I think, right? Or once every few years? I would hope more than that. I thought it was like maybe every six months. I thought that was minimum. I wouldn't mind a monthly check. Yeah. Just come on through here and make sure this thing's... I think every place should maybe have an elevator guy at their place. Teach one of the guys there...

You know, some elevator. Some elevator stuff. Yeah. Fix the wires, that kind of. I don't even know how they work. Yeah, because they just sign. It is like. I don't want a part-time guy just learning how to fix the wires, though. Never heard that before. That's what he says. Oh, yeah. Right, right, right. Oh.

He's stuck in there too. He goes, I'll tell you what, bud. He goes, this is about the 15th time I've been stuck in this elevator. And I go, and you're their elevator guy? He's real small talk and relaxed. Nah, I'll be fine. Someone come get us. I've been in this situation many times. I did this yesterday. I thought I fixed it. I wonder if you are an elevator fixer, if you have to...

get stuck in one. Like, do they have like a school where it's just a bunch of elevators? That's their boot camp is you just get stuck in one. Yeah, you know, like those firemen that run up the obstacle course. Yeah. They had the elevators where it's like, you got to fix an elevator and it's just going, you know. Can you fix it? Could you fix it? And then we go to Disney World, ride the Tower of Terror, Tower of Terror, whatever that is. And then an elevator guy goes, this would never happen.

Maybe it wouldn't be fun to ride with because you go, we're about to hit the drop. And he goes, it would never drop like this. And that's right. That's the last thing he says before you drop on the Tower of Terror. This is fake. Yeah. I'm an elevator guy. Is that what the Tower of Terror is? You're in an elevator and it falls?

That's terrifying. Yeah. Hey, that's where they got the name. Yeah. Does Arj Barker live in Australia? Yeah. So Arj, uh, Arj Barker, he's, he's huge in Australia and Melbourne. Just a wonderful person. I saw Arj. I mean, I haven't seen him in 15 years. Who's Arj Barker? He's a comedian. Oh, okay. I worked with him at Zany's and he was on a flight of the concourse. Yeah. Okay. Very funny. Great dude. And I saw James American. Uh, yeah. And I saw James Smith, uh,

uh, who's from Australia and me and him. My first video I have on YouTube, I believe it's the first one is, uh, I'm at rascals. Uh, I'm at rascals in New Jersey. It's his club that closed down. And so it's the first video I posted ever living by standup. And, uh, it was me and this guy, James Smith, uh,

and I saw James there, James had, he, he, he was started his cancer and he had to go home. And, uh, but he's, he was in good spirits and seemed to be doing good. And I've seen him a long time, but I'm not, I've started with that guy. And, uh, so it was pretty, it was, I was glad to like get to see him. He came out to, uh, the show and,

uh sydney i think yeah and uh but it was cool yeah it was it was very fun and uh yeah i mean they're you know they're kind they would keep telling me comics over there i knew arj and i knew them and then uh but they just say but you know this guy like i don't know it's like their guy whoever the australian guy is and he's like enormous over there uh but a lot of a lot of american comics going over there now

Tim Dillon, I saw his sign for him coming up in October over there. And I think Andrew Schultz just announced the thing. Yeah. So a lot of comics are going over there and they got a good, you know, the crowds are great. They got a good scene. I believe seems like they can get up a lot. I met two comics, two guys there open on the show. We're moving to New York and yeah.

So they were going to the opposite. They're moving to New York. But it seems like it's opening up. Everybody's been going to Australia. They have a Just for Laughs festival. Everybody has been going. But you're selling tickets over there, and people are actually going over there. Did you meet my buddy Nick in New Zealand? Yes.

Nick Rado? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Nick Rado. Yeah. Yeah, he was great. Yeah, he's very funny. Yeah, very funny. You have a buddy that lives in New Zealand? Well, we did our dry bar together. And he's the one that got the audience to give me the fake standing ovation. Yeah. He was the reasoning. Yeah. Yeah. All right. But he's very funny. Yeah, he was great. And so, yeah, we saw him in New Zealand. He's from Wellington, New Zealand. And was super nice and super funny. New Zealand, we were only there for three nights. Yeah.

But it was pretty special. Yeah. Yeah. It seems like it. It does seem like a real kind of magical place. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're out there, man. Yeah. Out there loving every minute of it.

Anyway, how's Chattanooga? Well, we're happy you're back. A lot of people in the comments like to call you our dad. So we're happy that our dad's back. You know, we missed you. Yeah.

Yeah. I appreciate it. Yeah, they act like. Y'all did a great job. They act like we just go wild when you're gone. They go, oh, when dad's away, the kids will play. And I'm like, what are we doing here? You know what I mean? We're just providing quality content. I think, did you wear my hat?

I don't think so. Do you have one of those Tennessee? Yeah. You got two of them? Yeah. Oh, because I have one too. I figured they sent that to me just because they cut me out of the commercial. Oh, yeah. Well, I got one too. You know what? Let me give you some stuff. Yeah. They didn't send their name. They didn't get me anything. Oh, yeah? That's all right. I did it just because I love the Titans. I didn't do it for the free stuff. That's true. Well, me either. I mean, I did it to be on video. I wanted to be shown. And then they got rid of that. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Had to cut someone. Yeah. They already had Hardy. You know what though? Yeah. Yeah. Can't have two Hardys. Yeah. You know, a guy at the post office recognized me from the video though. And, uh, that really helped me a lot. He was on the Titans video. There's no way he said, I think he saw like they shared the, the, the, uh,

things of us saying these people, these people made cameos. Yeah. So he saw that. And then I think he went back and looked, but he was not very nice to me prior to that. Now he's like my buddy in there. Oh really? Yeah. He wasn't rude to me, but he just wasn't super friendly. Yeah. But now we're like, we're like buddies. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't know how friendly would he, you want him to be? Well, I like that at the Hermitage post office, they don't do a lot of small talk because that, that,

That's hard. You know, you're going in there with 15 packages. You're small talk and you're like, you're not, you move beyond small talk. You're like, let's be friends. Yeah. And we don't need that. Yeah. You know what I mean? We're just trying to mail packages here. Yeah. Now you have it. Well, if you're friends because of an outside influence, fine. But you know, not over, you don't want to bond over packages. You know what I mean? Are you there every day?

Now, thankfully, my merch company has now taken over my online merch. So soon we'll have a store. Big time. And I'll maybe never go to the post office again. Oh, you think you'll go back just to kind of. Maybe. You got a friend there now. Yeah. You got to go check in with him. I still have my post office box. So I may go in there and see him and just say hey to him. Yeah. Go, hey, nothing to mail today. Just want to say hey. That guy was one of our biggest mailers. Yeah. For a long time. Yeah. Yeah.

You go there and solve people's problems because people always have a problem when they go to mail. I mean, you don't know what to do. Oh, yeah. So you could go and you think you could sit there and help? I could help. What if you did go and you're one of the people on the outside? Because I think the inside is so frustrated with the outside. That's true. And so like if they had someone like you that was like, I'm going to get them somewhat at least prepared before they get to mail.

The inside. Right. Yeah. Because it's frustrating to learn how to use the post office. Like sometimes you go in there and you're like, hey, do you got any tape? And they're like, you know, they're almost like, yeah, we got some tape, but you didn't tape your package up before you got here. Yeah. So, but from my perspective, I'm like, we're not your garage. Right. I'm like, I don't know what to do. And they're like, well, how did you not know to not tape it before you got here?

And first you'd be like, well, that's crazy that you're mad that I'm asking for tape. But now you're the person that you'd be like. I'm like, I'm in the post office. Yeah. Bring your own tape. Yeah. Speed it up. Yeah. I've been doing this for a long time. Yeah. And you should bring your own tape. Yeah. You should get your own tape. Tape's not free out here. Cost somebody money. Yeah.

You know, the tax payers are paying. I'm not paying for your tape. Maybe that's why someone does want the tape, though, because they go, well, I am paying for this tape. That's true. So I'd like to see their tax returns. How much tape did you buy? Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah.

You've been buying and selling a lot on Facebook marketplace. Well, I like to, well, I try to sell a bookshelf for my mom and then, and then I finally got a buyer for it. And then they went to my mom's house and it wasn't there. And I called my mom. She goes, Oh no, I got rid of that. I was like, Oh God.

So that was pretty frustrating. Yeah. Cause I, cause I was viewing it from their perspective. Like if someone had sent me to their house to get the thing and then I find out they already sold it, I'd be so mad. You drove all the way out there. Oh, actually I, I bought a, a thing from a guy that said he went to high school with you. Oh yeah. Yeah. The other day I bought a, some kind of kitchen pantry and he was like, he's like, you look familiar to me. Have we met?

And I don't want to go, no, I do comedy because then I don't want him to go, nah, that's not it. You know? Titans video? Yeah. So he said that he went to high school with you. I don't remember his name. Yeah. Nice guy. It's good. Yeah. We took a pic, but it was so long ago now it'd take me a minute to find it. Yeah. And I also don't want to show it on the podcast and then you'd be like, nah, don't remember the guy. Yeah. That guy's lying to you. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I probably did. I had the guy at Southwest counter. Let's check my bag said, uh, you do comedy. And I'm like, yeah, he recognized me. And there was a pretty long line waiting. And he said, I've been thinking about getting into that. Um,

And he starts asking me all these questions while people are waiting and I'm waiting. And he said, uh, I went to coffee once with Jessica Carter, you know her? And I was like, yeah, I know Jessica. And he said, she said to write all the time and try to be clean. He's like, why would I want to do that? I want to get dirty up in here. Yeah. And then I'm like the woman next to him kind of looks over like what is going on over here? It was a pretty lengthy conversation though, while people are waiting, but yeah.

He held me hostage. Yeah, he's like, I'm checking people in here all day. I don't always get to talk to a comedian. He's a corporate guy, so he's like, I want to get out of the corporate world. Yeah. Let loose. Yeah. Let them know what I really think. Yeah. Great advice by Jessica, though. It was great. I forgot that this happened. I was at the Burbank Airport in California, and I bumped into a guy. I hit him with my bag by accident, and he kind of looked up at me.

And he goes, Aaron Webber? I go, yeah. And he's listening to this podcast on his phone. And I bumped into this dude. Oh, that's awesome. And he was like, he kind of looked shaken up by it. That would be a surreal experience to be listening. And then you get bumped into the guy that's on your phone. Did you not see the caution sign around you?

That would be the craziest thing ever. I think you saw him listening. You bumped into him. No, not a chance. That's great. That's crazy. That's pretty awesome. What if it was your voice?

If he heard sorry, you say sorry and your voice is in his ears. Well, I bumped into him. I said, sorry. And then he kind of like jogged to like catch back up with me. It was like, are you? Yeah. Cause I was just listening to you. Pretty crazy. Yeah. That's gotta be one that you're like, well, I have to tell this person that definitely. Yeah. It'd be weird. Yeah. Yeah. I had a guy in the airport yesterday. He goes, you're a famous comedian. I go, well, I'm a comedian. I don't know if I'm famous.

And we took a bit. That's a good story. But I thought it was funny. He goes, you're a famous comedian. And I'm like, well, if I was that famous, you would remember my name. Yeah. But people don't remember anybody. Like, I mean, that's like when I do, I saw you on Jimmy Kimmel. I've never been on Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah. But I mean, I mean,

All the time. People go, that's all you're on Kimmel or Colbert. They just say everything. The only things I've never been on. Yeah. Cause it doesn't really matter. I mean, there's my last specials. Like, you know, Oh, well, I saw your last day. It's like, they don't really, they either were all on Netflix or they were all on Amazon or they were all like people just. Yeah. It's like Coke. Everything's a Coke. Yes. So everything's Netflix. Everything's Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Do you want to say where y'all? I did a corporate this weekend, my rental car. And I think you mentioned briefly, this just happened to you. It wasn't full. Yeah. And I didn't notice it till I was already on the road. So when I got back, I told the lady, I said, uh, Hey, um, this car, it was only two thirds full when I got it. And she goes, Oh,

is that more than half? And I said, yeah, yeah, that's more than half. And, and, uh, she's like, what did you take a picture of it? And I was like, no, cause I just thought, you know, I could lie about anything. I could let it get down to E and say it was empty. And she's like, well, you should have taken a picture of it. Nothing I can do. Well, there's a timestamp when you take a picture.

So that's why you take a picture. I've taken a picture. And you could do a video. Show the miles on the odometer. Show them. Go get a newspaper. Yeah. Show them the newspaper. Like a hostage video. Why don't you just show them the newspaper you bought? Yeah. I did have one. They go, sir, you could show the newspaper. You look like a guy that would be walking right out of the next day's newspaper. Yeah.

And then, yeah, I always take a picture. Because then you go, I got a picture. And they're going to just be like, yeah, yeah. You could probably do E, but. They got you. But they're going to see the date if they really want to look into it. Did you pay to have it refilled or did you refill it yourself? I filled it back up to where it was when I got it. Oh, okay. Stuck it to them. But she still charged me for, she took some off, but they still charged me for it not being full. That's frustrating. $10 a gallon.

$10 a gallon. Crazy. Yeah. $10 a gallon? Cheaper than it is outside. Yeah. Yeah. That's insane. I agree. That's the thing. That's what, yeah. Rental cars do that. Rental companies, because you're like, where are you getting this gas?

Yeah. Yeah. Petrol. That's what they say in Australia. Well, that's what they'll say. They'll go, or you can pay to have it filled back up, you know? And I go, okay, how much is that? They go a hundred dollars. And I go, no, I'll just do it myself. They did that to me one place. It was a truck. They were like a hundred dollars. I was like, no, I don't think so. You can pay the best you can prepay and you get a better price on the gas.

Well, that's what they were. But then you got to make sure you're going to be timing this thing out. Yeah. Right. So you got to bring it right in it. You got to, I mean, you want to be rolling in pushing it, driving around the airport. I've had some, yeah, I've had some good ones. I've had some bad ones and some good ones. And I've had a couple where I did it. And then you're like,

What was I thinking? Like, you're just like, I barely used gas. Yeah. And then I've had some where, I mean, I, like, I even had to fill it up. Like, you put like $3 in it just to, I'm just trying to get to the airport. Yeah. And then you just try, just let it coast in and go, it's your, it's your problem now. Yeah. You know, but I did it. Yeah. Yeah. Louisville. I was in Louisville, the Australia of.

Kentucky. I do regret. I don't regret it, but a lot of people heard my comments last week and the week before. I mean, my whole Louisville family's here right now. Honestly, there's 15 Louisville people outside. Okay. I'll apologize, too. I couldn't believe you'd talk like that about us. Stop, dude. You were so on board. And then the cameras cut off, and Dusty's like, honestly, I would have said a lot worse. Yeah.

We had to cut Dusty's part about Louisville. Yeah, you should have seen what made it. I go, well, Dusty almost forgot what this podcast was about. That's how mad he got. But I'll say this about the people of Louisville. They had a good sense of humor about it. They know what's going on out there. We had a good time. Thank you for the people that came out to the show. Good for you. Had a laugh, Louisville. You know, I always like driving through Louisville because the interstate goes right through the city. But, you know, they built this bridge at one point, and it was the interstate bridge.

and they just turned it into a toll road. Oh, yeah. And I wrote the mayor a letter. I mean, an email complaining about it. The mayor of Louisville or the mayor of? Of Louisville. Because, you know, it's half in Louisville, it's half in Indiana. But they directed me somewhere else. But because the whole thing was like, we're just paying for the bridge. So I just wanted to know, you know, how close are we?

Did you email the responsible government? Yeah, I guess so. Well, I don't know. They said they weren't responsible. Yeah. And then they, I think that's what you do as a government. Just go, just send them. Yeah, you gotta go talk to this guy. You gotta go talk to this guy and then it's done. And then you give up after a while. I feel like a class action lawsuit came against them about that bridge though. Well, he stayed with the story. Yeah. I feel like it. I'll look that up. But.

I went to Kansas City. I had a great time. Hot shows. I love going to Kansas City. The Improv. Been there a bunch of times. People came out. Lots of listeners of the podcast. A lot of hay bears. Very fun. Yeah. Very fun. A lot of tattooed people in Kansas City. I find that...

They look good. I mean, they got it going on, but it's a big tattoo city, it feels like. How much of that is a function of who's coming to see you versus the city in general? That could be it, too. But I feel like when I'm traveling around, there's always tattooed people, but I just noticed in Kansas City, a lot of sleeves and full legs.

Where do they park all the motorcycles for your crowd? Do they let them share spots? Yeah. Yeah, they split them up. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, it is a mixture of people that come to my shows, and I like that. That's a lot of fun. Yeah. Yeah, that's the best. It is. Old people, young people, people bringing their whole families together.

It's great. It's a wonderful thing. It really is. It's a cross-section of America. Judge rejects class action requests for the River Link toll. Of course he does. He's probably getting paid by River Link. Yeah. Probably getting some kickbacks from River Link. And he's like, you know what? Actually, I'm getting a percentage of those tolls.

Yeah. Tolls are the one that you're like, what is this for? Yeah. We're lucky in Tennessee. Yeah. Yeah. Because it's like, it's like with this bridge in particular, they're like, we're trying to pay off the bridge. And I'm like, all right, I'm fine to pay a toll until we get the bridge paid for. But how close are we? That's what I want to know. It's not like it's a one-time cost. There's going to be recurring costs with it. But if enough people were doing it, there has to be a cost. Yeah.

So there has to be, you know, like you just want some, like there has to be a thing where they go like, all right, we got the loan paid off. Yeah. We own the bridge. Yeah. So now it's going to cost...

you know, $500,000 a year to keep it going. So we're just going to, you know, just like, you know, it could be like, we're going to do 500,000. We're going to sporadically choose, or maybe it's like we do it, you know, and you got your guys that go out there and you know, one guy just like, I'll pay for it. He's just driving back and forth. And then they do these things called convenience fees, right? So they charge you, you drive through and then you're charged a toll. And then when you go online to pay it,

They add on more as a convenience fee. But it was pretty inconvenient that I have to go and pay this. Yeah. You know? It doesn't just take off. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's like, at least when you're driving through like Chicago and you pull in and you can give them money. I prefer that. Let me give this guy a dollar and a quarter. I think when you rent cars, they just, it goes on the license plate and it just, they take it out of your thing. Yeah.

But people could get away. It's always crazy. They, when you charge that fee, it's like you get away with a lot more if you just, just take it out. Cause then people are going to be like, everybody's got so much money taken out of like your, you got so many subscriptions or all that kind of stuff. You don't know what's getting taken out of where like you could be, you know? So it's like, you can just have stuff. What is that for? Yeah. And you're like, I don't know. I went to Indiana once. Oh, uh,

Before we get into that, Dusty, you want to tell us about AG1? Oh, I had just had some AG1. We did. Our next partner is AG1. All of us are trying to take our AG1 by Athletic Greens every day. We all gave AG1 a try because we wanted increased energy and immune system support for our busy lifestyles. And that is true. We all gave AG1 a try because we wanted increased energy and immune system support for our busy lifestyles.

We all like to take AG1 in the morning before starting the day, and it makes us feel like we're doing something good to cover all our nutritional bases. It's much easier to mix one scoop of powder. All right. Well, that's good. I'm happy to have people come along. I had a joke. I got a joke. I guess I can say it because I don't know if it's going to stay in.

because I talk about stuff in the future but I do think like it's like maybe it will

I could do it, but like, uh, it's just one little line. Uh, but like saying like, they're going to have like in a hundred years, you're going to go to the museum and it's going to be like a, you know, a clay person, like with staring at their microwave, but it's talking on the cell phone. Yeah. Like being in just the future is going to be like, can you believe they were, they used to do that. And they go, where was that though? Was that in like a second microwave house? You're like, no, no, that was like near the baby's room. And you go, what? Yeah. And,

And that's what they end up showing. Amen. I want you to know I am conscious of microwaves more now. All right. I haven't changed my behavior in any way, but I'm thinking about it. That's where it starts. That's the first step. All we're trying to do is plant seeds out there. Why are you more conscious? Because we talked about it so much. Now every time I look at a microwave, I'm thinking about what is actually happening. Well, you do think that it is crazy that something is going in eight seconds. Something can be hot. It just seems impossible. Just wait until the next time you see the horizon.

Baby steps, Dusty. Baby steps. Josh Horton. In high school, Buddy and I selected microwaves as our topic for the science fair. We learned that microwaves heat up your food by heating the water inside your food. Those hot water molecules inside your food are what actually heat the food around them. So putting a cup of water in your microwave while your food is warming up definitely helps.

All right. Yeah, I think people came to Aaron's defense that that is a correct thing. Is that a... I didn't say it was correct. I just said, how big is your microwave that you're putting... I got sent a lot of videos of people... Putting a jug in there? With plenty of room in the corner. Plenty of room. Yeah, dude. Yeah. I'll put a cup in there. A coffee cup or a... I think it was just a plastic cup. Shot glass. One of those orange Gatorade tubs. Yeah.

What kind of science fair is this where you're just like, let's just study microwaves? Yeah. On a budget. Sounds like a. But at science fairs, you have to do something. Yeah. You have to conduct an experiment. Maybe they had to build it on a microwave. But if you did this pre-internet, it'd make more sense, right? Because you'd be like, oh, okay. Maybe. So if your food's real dry, the microwave doesn't really do anything for it then.

That's when you need that water. They tell you to pour a little water in the... I think that never works out. When they say pour it on the food, I think every time I've done that, it doesn't work out.

I just microwave straight up. I don't bring water into it. It is what it is. It is what it is. That's why I can make stuff soggy. Sometimes it's better to do stovetop because you put it in the microwave and it makes it all soggy. Laura likes stovetop because it tastes better. Yeah. But we're just trying to get to the solution to a problem. Stovetop, especially if you have a gas range, it is so fast to heat up things. So fast. Seems like a lot. Is it faster than a microwave? I don't think so. It's pretty fast. What you have to do is you have to get the pot.

Yeah, you're adding all that stuff. You have to clean the thing after. It's a nightmare. Oh, God. Don't even get me started. Yeah, microwave, you just pop it in. If you don't clean a microwave, you throw it away. Clean a microwave once a year. Yeah, you just throw it away. You don't clean it. Disposable microwave. You use it until it stops, and then you throw it away. Then you get another one. No one cleans a microwave for six years. You have a microwave.

There's no way he's cleaning the microwave once a year. Maybe because Lucy's there. Maybe there's more eyes on the microwave. Every now and then there's a catastrophe where you're like, I got to clean this right now. But just routine wear and tear. Have you microwaved a hard-boiled egg? Have we talked about that? No. I mean, it completely explodes. Oh, yeah. That's good. Lesson learned. Don't put a hard-boiled egg in there. Not like it blows up and it's like, oh, man, that thing exploded. I mean, there's nothing. It's just all over the walls. And it's just like...

Why did you microwave a hard-boiled egg? Well, it was years ago, and they had brought over some Easter eggs. And I don't really like a cold hard-boiled egg. Is they the government? Yeah. Well, my mom. And I was like, well, let's heat this up. And the microwave, and I'm looking at it. I'm still using microwaves back then. And it just is gone. Disintegrated. Yeah. You have to clean that. That's what I'm saying. You like to eat a hot...

I like to boil the egg, immediately take it out of the water, start cracking the shell, even have like a napkin around it so it's so hot. I like to eat it like that. Yeah. So you should have said, don't bring over hard-boiled eggs. Yeah, don't bring over cold hard-boiled eggs. Yeah. If you're like, hey, I want to do something nice. I want to eat some hard-boiled eggs. Do it. Let's do it. Boil it on the way. Yeah.

Or at your house. Yeah. Or in the car on the way over. Would you be annoyed though if they just said, we need to do it in your house? No, I'd be all right with it. It'd be weird if people walked in and be like, you mind if we boil a couple of eggs? But I'm for it. Yeah. You know? Yeah, I have some. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I can handle a cold hard-boiled egg now. But back then, I was strictly a hot hard-boiled egg guy. You got to eat them quick. Yeah. They get cold quick, I think. Yeah, you got to get in there. A lot of people call us Seinfeld, Jerry, George, Elaine, Kramer, and...

Dusty, I mean, this is an open company. You are the Kramer of this group because I listen to his other podcasts and every week there's a new thing that you got to try this, Jerry. It's now organic toilet paper. Yeah. That's the only way to go. I've heard about, I've been reading about toilet paper. Yeah. It's gross, but it's get the organic stuff.

turtle it paper aaron hurd this podcast has reached a new level of entertainment for me when brian asked what your strategy was for loading dishwasher and you replied plates on the bottom cups on top i nearly choked on my drink not an expert here but i'm pretty sure that's the strategy for everyone every time for every dishwasher yeah

Well, you think that. You would think that. I feel like someone criticized you for your strategy. There was some debate. We're talking about where bowls go. Yeah. Yeah. Plates and cups. That's obvious. But there's all kinds of other stuff, dude. So, Aaron, why don't you cool it a little bit? Spells it the same way you do. Cool it on the top because it's cooler at the top. Right? Yes. Yes. But now they have the even the top shelf has its own little sprayer up there. Right? No, I haven't seen one that advanced. I got a new one not long ago.

Yeah. What I do is I got married. So I might have made that joke last week or when we did it. But it's a good joke in the 80s. Still relevant now.

Katie Smith, I've heard from several sources to stop valuables. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Start over. I've heard from several sources to store valuables in the dishwasher of a hurricane is coming. The dishwasher is airtight and it will keep important documents, et cetera, safe if your house gets flooded. Oh, it's like the black box on an airplane. Just don't forget and turn it on. And don't, yeah. But if your house is destroyed by a hurricane,

How soon before you run a load in the dishwasher? But more likely, people doing this, nothing would happen to their house. Oh, that's true. And then they just forget. They go, is this clean or dirty? I don't know. Run it again. Run it again. It ain't going to hurt to run it again. And then you got your birth certificate in there and your baby. And it probably clogs up. According to the internet, that would not work.

If your house flooded, it would get in there. I don't know. Wow. I don't think so.

Oh, flood. It depends on how much. Sounds like something the safe industry would say. Yeah. Or the dish. I saw a tsunami. Did you see a clip of like a tsunami? In a film? No. Okay. Like it's saying like for if you live in a place near a tsunami, it's like this. It's a thing that you climb in and you buckle up and you close the hatch. And so when it hits, you just stay in it until it floats you to the end and then you all get out. Oh, wow. Yeah.

But, I mean, having one of those, like, you got to be... I think if I need one of those, I'd probably just leave wherever I am. Yeah. You know, if you got to have an escape pod. Yeah, because you get out, your house is gone. Like, how often will you be doing this? Well, it shows that, like, it hits a car and you... It's like a ride. But it's got to be...

When you're on that ride and you're like, just like, I don't know. You got to feel uncomfortable. There's only four seats. Yeah. Somebody left out. Someone got a family of five. Yeah. Get in the dishwasher. Yeah. You could tie a dishwasher to the back of it like a trailer. Oh, yeah. And then you got it. You just got a rope and you do it. And then you throw maybe the little kids in the dishwasher and

Family gets in the tsunami thing. Imagine you have a family of four and you have relatives visiting and a tsunami is coming and you're like, sorry, dude, we only got the one. Well, I think you would go get it in quietly. Yeah. You go. I think you'd all. It's like when you're trying to leave a party early, but not you just kind of Irish goodbye. Yeah. Everybody kind of stands up and goes, I'm going to go check on the dishwasher. And that's the secret word for it.

You know, let's get in the tsunami thing. And they go, y'all are very relaxed with this tsunami coming. And you go, well, it happens all the time. And then they just hear cooking shit. And it just flushes down into the water. And then your family's in this. And you're looking through the window and they're all out there. Dadgummit. And he goes, I told you we shouldn't be visiting this side of the family. It's your family. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know if I could be in one of those. I mean, just the claustrophobic. I mean, I know you're better than not. Yeah, it's a lot. But you would think you're like, I'll just rather go. I started to get claustrophobic on a flight for like five seconds and then I cooled off. But I could see how it happens. You're like, man, there's not a lot of room up here. I can't go anywhere. And then I cooled off. You got to block it out. And then I cooled off. Yeah, yeah. Let's just go to sleep. Shake it off real quick. And then you just went to sleep?

I closed my eyes. Yeah. Tried not to think about it. Yeah. You gotta, yeah, you gotta, you gotta close your eyes. You gotta breathe. Like, I mean, when I first time it happened to me, I didn't know I had it and I was on the plane and I mean, I was like, man, I'm fired up on this point. And I just felt, and I mean, it was like, I was like just sitting there. It's like a plane that, you know, you just, I was like on the, I was on the aisle, but it was like three rows everywhere. And you're just kind of paying. And then I was like,

And you start thinking like, how long is this fight? And, uh,

I was trying to do anything to get your mind to not think about. It's tough. I hope it doesn't happen again. That's why I don't like a window seat because every time I end up with a window or a middle seat, I mean, that's a, that is immediately what I think. I'm like, ah, no, I got to pee right now. And then I'm like, I can't get out of here. Yeah. That, that, that window seat messes with me after the claustrophobia thing. Yeah. You, uh, yeah. Cause you end up, you just go out. I just want to be in the aisle. Yeah. Be in control of,

of what's, if I got to get up. Cause at least you don't feel, cause one trap can set off all the traps. So you're like, I'm just trying to not feel trapped. So if I'm on the aisle, I can get up. If I start feeling any, like you just kind of, I'll go to the bathroom. Yeah. Remind myself I can go walk around and do whatever I want to do. Like, but then if you're the first trap is you look over and you know, everybody's asleep and you're like, yeah, get out. Wow.

Wow. And then the drink carts come in and you're like, I can't even go on track. Yeah. You can spiral yourself out. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I was, someone's on a plane right now. Yeah. There's a great chance. Someone's more than likely. This is listened to on planes. And there's someone just sitting on the window right now. Just be like, Oh,

Just take deep breaths. Turn that little vent on, turn the vent on. You're going to be fine. That does nothing, dude. Yeah. That does nothing. You just put it right in your face. Especially if you have a hat, you got to really get the hat off. You got to take the hat off. Yeah. Yeah. Take the hat off. Take your jacket off. Then if you're me, you take the hat off and then it's blowing your hair and it's tickling different parts of my face and that becomes irritating. Did you say take your shirt off? Yeah. You need to. You have to do whatever you got to do. You got to do what you got to do. Yeah. Uh,

You go, would you rather me do this or freak out? I think they'd say freak out. I handled the, I mean, I took something. So that helped me with my flight. I was like, good. But it was, yeah, when you're flying, I mean, to Australia, it's like you're in the air 15 hours. Yeah. Wow.

It's a, I mean, it's a full day. It's a different mindset. It is. You can't just think about just tough it out. You got to. You got to have a mindset of like, I live with these people. Yeah. And I'm going to go about my day. I'm going to watch a movie. I'm going to eat. Then I'm going to go to sleep and I'm going to wake up and then watch a movie. You can't just be like, I want this flight to be over. You got to be like, I got to enjoy this flight because you're on it and you're just up there and you're just flying over the ocean. And that's how big you're flying over the ocean for 15 hours. Yeah.

500 miles an hour, 600 miles an hour for 15 hours. And you're just over the ocean. That's all you see is just water. That's how far Australia is. And that's how much ocean there is. We don't know anything about the ocean. No, we don't. That's so much ocean. People love to say we've mapped it out with satellites, but we need to get down in there. Get in there.

Well, we tried. Yeah. We tried recently. And that's what I'm saying. That's how much we don't know. We just wanted to go down, look at an old ship and we got. Boom. Yeah. I didn't mean to say it like that. But that is what happened. I watched another video of that showing you what would happen. You know, but it's at least instant. Yeah. It looks like it's like, it seems unfathomable. Like it just, you're just, it just crushes and then you're. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it's not going to take long anyway. I mean, it just drowning in general feels like it would be pretty quick. But they didn't drown. They were pulverized. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They wouldn't even know. Sorry if anybody's listening to this on a sub. There's a great chance. Yeah. There's a great chance. Take deep breaths right now. Take your hat off. Get that little vent. Take your shirt off. Take your shirt off. You can. You're in a sub. Much more appropriate. Yeah. The Australia episode comments. All right.

Irma Zandy, Irma Zand, Zandl. Sounds like somewhere from Australia. Uh, an update slash correction for Brian on the most populous city in Australia. It is Melbourne, not Brisbane. Yep. Yep. My mistake. A lot of people pointed that out. Uh, it was foolish because, uh, Brisbane and Sydney are almost both twice the size of, of, uh, Brisbane. Uh,

But I don't know what you just said. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Melbourne, Melbourne and Sydney are both almost twice the size of Brisbane. That's what I meant to say. Brisbane is. It wasn't even close. Well, Brisbane's the largest. I mean, every week I have to do a crash test. And I understand that Brisbane is the largest elementary land area. Okay. So I Google something. It said Brisbane was the largest city. You said, yeah. Okay. You didn't know what they meant by biggest. I mean, I didn't take the,

I just trusted him. That's what we learned today. You can't trust anybody. Maybe do one more click. Yep. Don't have time. Jake Boardman.

God, Australia's got some great names. Yeah, that is a good name. There's a good one coming up below that too. Jake Boardman. Boardman. Boardman. Surfer. Jake Boardman. That's like the kid, his dad does very well. But he's like the cool kid that's like. Chairman of the Boardman.

Yeah, well, it's like, but Jake is like, you're like, he doesn't have a job. His dad's kind of probably going like he's not going to take over the business. Right. But he's not worried about not having a job. He doesn't need to. And he's a good dude. So it's a dude that's got money that's a good dude that you're like, no, dude, he's the best. He's chill. Very chill. Yeah, you're like, he's a fun guy. Yeah. I'm going to do Harold Holt and Bolt.

But I'm going to do a Harold Holt and Bolt is what you say when you want to leave a party early in Australia. I mean, I didn't read before in the comment. That's Jake. That's who it is. That's Harold Holt and Bolt. Jake to a T. Jake to a T. And he said, yeah, instead of you. I like it. I'm going to Harold and Bolt is what y'all say. Harold Holt and Bolt.

Harold. I don't want to do a Harold Holt. Harold Holt is the prime minister who drowned off the coast that we talked about. Oh, that's a much darker joke than I thought it was. I should say disappeared. Yeah. And apparently, I looked this up. A lot of people say, I'm going to do a Harold Holt.

That just means I'm out of here. They take a lot of things in stride over there. So that was in 1967. So that's basically the same as making a Kennedy joke for us. But I don't know if we have a saying. You got a headache like a Kennedy. I think people say that. I've never heard that. You haven't heard that? I've never heard it. I think I've heard it. You say, I need to leave. Like, I need a hole in my head.

Well, something like that. That means you don't need to leave. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Fair enough. Fair enough. I need to leave like I need a hole. I need to stay like I need a hole in my head. See ya. I feel like Kinsey's harsher, though, because the way he died, Harold Holt could still be alive for all we know. But he's not. First of all, he'd be 115 right now. So he's probably done. They had a tortoise at the zoo. And it might be. Got assassinated. No. No.

It was... 110. Yeah, they're like that. The one that... One of them just died and it was Darwin gave it to him. Wow. It was from Darwin. Yeah. They have a city... He's got a whole city named... How big was it? Huh? How big was it? Like a huge... But I mean, that's how long they live. Yeah, some reptiles never stop growing as long as they live. But I mean, can you imagine a tortoise? It's like...

Like a dinosaur. He was at this zoo. Yeah, they're from the Galapagos Islands. Yeah. He was at the zoo. And then they go, yeah, he was with Charles Darwin. You know who this guy was hanging out with? Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin. He ran Lincoln. He's like, that kid? Yeah. He wouldn't even have heard about Kennedy. I mean, he's like, he started following the news. Yeah, he was 100 when that happened. Yeah, he goes, I quit paying attention. It's the same story over and over again.

Yeah, they live to be like 150. Yeah. That's crazy, man. There's 190. 190? Yeah. All right. Yeah. All right. Peggy Karp. That's another great name. Peggy Karp. Peggy, is that a good... That's a good comedy name. You always talk about a good comedy. Peggy. Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Peg Bundy. Peggy Bundy. Yeah. Who's that? Ted Bundy. Oh.

Yeah, Ted Bundy's wife. I thought you meant Ted Bundy. Yeah, it was Ted Bundy's wife. You remember that comedy show that Ted Bundy was on? Ted and Peggy out to dinner. What did he do? He was a shoe salesman. He was a shoe salesman, yeah. Oh. That's not what Ted Bundy did. We're talking about Al Bundy from Mary Bushelder. What's Ted Bundy? Yeah, he was a murderer. He was a serial killer. Certified bad guy. Pretty attractive guy, they say, though. Well...

He could change his appearance. He was one of those guys that was like, he could look like 15 different people. It's pretty wild. Oh, really? Like just by glass? If you look at a collage of pictures of him, you're like, these don't look like the same guy. They do, but they, like he can, if he's in a good mood, he looks very handsome. If he can look evil real quickly. Bizarre. He must have been

Born to do it. He had no choice. How can you do a podcast on Australia without talking about the history of the Aboriginal Australians who have lived there for over 50,000 years? I also highly recommend Rabbit Proof Fence, a movie based on the true story of three Aboriginal girls who escaped from a government resettlement home and walked a thousand miles back to their home. Wow. Hmm.

They have an Aboriginal flag up now on the bridge. They have a bridge in Sydney that you can walk over and they have the Australian and Aboriginal flag there. That's cool. So did every... Oh, that's a movie. I thought she was just saying that rabbits are a big problem. No, it's about people. I blacked out for a second. I recommend having a rabbit. I also highly recommend a rabbit-proof fence. And I was like, okay, well, yeah. I've been to one of those too. You have to keep the rabbits out. I bet there is a rabbit-proof fence. Or is. Yeah.

I bet that was, yeah, because I bet there is a rabbit-proof fence. Yeah. Or maybe this movie came out first, and then the rabbit-proof people were like, oh, yeah, we got to figure out a different thing. Where did flags, did every community in the world

independently create their own flag or did they realize oh i need a flag do you know what i mean like how you said yeah so fast like let's move on dumb question uh they picked the colors eddie izzard has a very funny joke about when britain claimed india and the indians were like

there's 500 million of us here already. You can't claim it. And he's like, well, do you have a flag? Because that's all they would do. Yeah, you put a flag down. That's what they did in Australia. You got to have a flag. Flag now. Yeah. Back then they didn't have flags. It was probably a little more honest. But now. Now, if you got a flag. Once you saw the flag thing coming, you're like, you can't stop. I'm sure the Aboriginals, I mean, because I think we talked about James Cook just put a flag in for Britain and on Australia. Aboriginals are probably like, dude,

We're here. You can't just claim it. Yeah, I know we debate time stuff, right? It's like 50,000 years. It's like they might have been there since the beginning, sure. But do we really know? I mean, that's a long time, 50,000 years. You know what I mean? It is a long time. I don't think anybody debates that.

That's a good amount of time. But hard to, like, as far as I know, they're only saying that there's like evidence of like civilized man for like 7,000 years, something like that. Maybe 10. No, there's a lot that is different. I don't think so. I think there is. Yeah. But that's for a different part. That's for an archaeology episode. I thought creationist felt the earth was like 6,000 years old. Right. But I'm saying that even the non-religious community says that like it's about

you know, roughly 10,000 years ago when they started to discover civilized man. I Googled this last night and they said, we've been around for like over a hundred thousand years. So I don't know. That must be new. Yeah. Well, some new stuff. It's the Google and you're trying to read the Bible. So I'd maybe. Yeah. Trust the Bible. Yeah. Trust the Google. Yeah. They go, well, I think Google knows. No, I don't.

The Google doesn't know. Ezekiel Smith. This guy that wrote the Bible. They've asked a lot of questions of Aaron on this show. He normally answers with a lot of thought. Without a lot of thought. Without a lot of thought.

But when Bang Bang asked, what's your Waffle House order? He sighed and said, you want to get into it? As though it was a personal question, not fit for polite conversation like politics or religion. That's very funny. Very serious. What did you say? Well, we don't have to get into it right now.

But it was, I remember we were all star. That's when we were. No, that's what I said. Okay. Well, I thought, I think at the time, here's my thought process at the time is we were waiting for Nate to come upstairs and I don't know how much time we have. And I'm thinking, is this what we want to commit?

The five minutes without Nate, do we want to just talk about what we get at Waffle House? When your star is going to shine. That's exactly right. You want it to be. I go, this is, all right, I guess we're, yeah, and we got into it. You wanted to show people that you can do more than just have a Waffle House order.

Because most people will be like, obviously, he's got a wall file. With that Carhartt shirt. And he goes, I mean, come on. He goes, he can do wall files in his sleep. Let's talk about some science. Exactly. Exactly. That's what was going on. What is your wall files order? I get the...

Bacon, egg, and cheese. Texas toast sandwich with a waffle. Yeah. Laura does the hash browns covered. Yeah. Laura likes the sandwich there. I like a waffle. Get the bowl too. The bowl's nice. What about a patty melt? You ever eat the patty melt there? That's what I love. Yeah. That's great. Yeah. I think I do all-star. That's what Brian does. I love their waffles.

It's tough to beat. That's the main thing. That's what they named it after. Yeah, Laura loves some Waffle Isles. They don't do pickup anymore. You can't call in and say, you have to go there and put the order in. Is that just the Waffle Isles near y'all's place or is it everywhere now? I don't know if it's everywhere, but I know it's near us. Probably a lot of places people don't show up. Yeah. Especially in Waffle Isles. Yeah. They were like, you got to come in and

If you are picking up food for maybe a barbecue late summer, who knows? Get together. Ibotta gives you cash back on hundreds of grocery items from produce to personal care to pantry goods. So you can make sure you're beating inflation no matter what you're purchasing. The average Ibotta user earns $120 per year. $120, Aaron. How about that? Wow. It could cover the cost of an entire shopping trip for most of us or a dinner out.

Other apps give you points that I never know what to do. Yeah. It's sad, though, because you can't play Pencil Break now. Are they compression socks? Sorry. When the gal flares up? I'm not there yet. He goes, you open them and go, oh, this is great. He goes, you know, those are good for travel. Right, but that's because you're an adult, right? So kids hate socks. Adults love them. But what I'm saying is these kids will gain that perspective over time. And they'll be like, man, I used to like that wooden.

number two pencil. A wooden number two pencil, I would think would be cool. What are they like? Is it like a mechanical? Mechanical pencil, yeah. I mean, mechanical is like... What does Harper use? Maybe she has a mechanical now. But, I mean, mechanical, we...

grew up was like you had money like you're like you couldn't afford it was nice to have a mechanical but I don't know pencil break was really a big part of my childhood that game was really something oh yeah where you flick it well you would try to break each other's pencils with your pencil yeah you can't do that with mechanicals yeah you can it's just a tougher game it's a tougher game it's a longer game

Yeah, number two pencil could be, you could see that come, someone could make that cool again. They could have some music person just riding with the number two. He just has one, wears it behind his hat and everybody would be like. That's all it would take. That's all it would take. And then they'd be back in the game. You could be that guy. I could be that guy. Having just a pen. I would take a number two pencil. I like a number two pencil.

Golf. Golf people still use number two pencils. Why is that, you think? What is the number one pencil? Big.

Oh, it is. It's a big, thick pencil. Oh, yeah? Yeah. And so is there a number three pencil? Not that I'm aware of. Are all pencils basically number two? Well, it seems like if they went with number one and they go, all right, here's another one. They go, well, I guess we're going to be doing this. So we'll name it number two. And then they go, what's about the third one? They go, I think we're, you know what? I think we're good. So I don't know if they really needed to number it.

My understanding was the number one was like for kids, like little kids, like kindergarten, first grade, you have the big thick pencil. There are numbers one, two, 2.5, three, and four. So the higher the number, the harder the core and lighter the marking. So a number one pencil is going to have the darkest.

editors and people working in publishing would use number one pencils when they make annotations. And you thought that no one knows what that word is, but you. Right. Well, I thought there were the big, I thought it was the big, yeah. Well, not that big. Yeah. That's for children. Yeah. Like a hockey puck. When they go, what's this? Like a caveman comes in and that's what they used to write. I also believe that this could have changed. I think this, all this stuff is, you know, it's all lies. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

They don't even show the fat pencils. I mean, where are they at? I mean, come on. I don't, maybe that's. You want me to Google fat pencil? Yeah. Yeah. All right. See what happens. He knows his fat pencils. He grew up with them.

Talking about these? Yeah. Like this one right here? No, no. He's talking about those. That's two. You're talking about the colored ones right there. Yeah? Yeah. These are number twos, though. Nope. Left. Left. These. Yep. That's what he's talking about. Okay. Jumbo pencils. Yeah. Jumbo pencils. I don't think they're number one. Maybe not. Mm-hmm. I always thought that. Well, that's too bad. This is an educational podcast. That's where you learn. I'm learning a lot. Yeah. The number one. Yeah. You don't really hear about number two pencils, so. Yeah.

Yeah. That's all you hear about. That is true. They're like the world wars. Yeah. You want to hear about the second wars? The second one kind of stole the show. Yeah. Uh, Sid Negretti. Sid. Dusty mentioned games he used to play in school like pencil or thumb. I used to play these games too, but I was 2000 miles away in a small rural town outside of Phoenix. I thought you were going to go somewhere else with that.

With a name Sid Negretti. I thought he was going to be like a small rural town. Venice. Yeah, like some crazy. He's like, outside of Phoenix. You're like, oh, you're.

There was no internet. So how did these low level games make their way across the country without an effective way to share that info? It's not like the evening news was doing a story on this. Very true. I think it's because we didn't have the internet. We had to get so creative. All we had was pencils and our own knuckles. And everywhere, they just thought of it. Yeah. Well, it's the idea of it is, you know, everybody wants to be like, we're all original. You're all your own person. You're not, but there's, you're all, everybody's the same.

You're going to come up with the same stuff. Essentially. When you don't have a lot, you just get creative. Starting with the same stuff. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be rarely where you're going to... I'm sure if you had kids get up and play a game with pencils that don't know whatever odds are, they're all going to be doing...

No one will be doing something that's really better than that. Yeah. People will be doing something dumber than that. You would be like, well, why are you doing that? You draw, you write, or you break it. But y'all are still, you and this guy in Phoenix, you're still listening to the same music. You're watching the same TV shows and the same movies. So there is some comma denominator. That's true. You probably learned stuff from that.

Even if you're not. I never really remember seeing Pencil Break on TV, but maybe it was. Or one kid just moved out west with his dad. I think about when you'd go. What was that? Beer pong. I think about beer pong. The game you play in college or high school or whatever. What? You played in high school? No, I didn't. Well, it sounds like it. I think your parents did. But I thought I didn't want to just. You did it in high school.

I think Dusty's probably played beer pong. For sure. When you're high. Yeah, but don't even. He's wrecked 40 cars. Yeah. So no one's, of course, Dusty. I played it a lot. They decided his name. But there are different rules. Like, you go around the country, you go to different, like, there are different smaller rules, right? They say house rules. Everyone plays it a little bit differently. But the core of the game is there. It's like, where did that come from?

Yeah. I have no idea. Beer pong was never around really when I, Oh, interesting. So it was a newer, it was, it did feel like a mid two thousands game and popped up. And then there was a whole movie about it. That definitely was it.

I actually just watched that movie. Really? Road Trip 2 or something. There's another one, but I watched Road Trip 2, some beer pong. It was Beer Fest. Beer Fest. Yeah. Where they're like the guys from Super Troopers. And they're like in Germany for Oktoberfest and stuff. This is the movie I'm talking about. It's a great movie.

That one and Super Troopers, the first one. Is that beer pong, though? They're doing all kinds of beer. I think beer pong is one of the games they play. Oh.

The game at Christmas time where you steal someone's gift, that has different variations and different names. Yeah. Dirty Santa. Dirty Santa. White Rabbit, I think. Yeah. Or something like that. There's an episode of The Office where they do it. White Elephant. And they talk about the different names, right? Yeah, I'm getting Rabbit Proof Fence. Yeah, I think so. That's another example, though, of where maybe the same game created, but different parts...

you have different rules or different names. My dad's family, they called it St. Stephen's swap. He didn't like saying dirty Santa. Yeah.

Well, I think not breaking a pencil is not going to the moon. So I'm sure other people figured it out. It is funny to think about. You're like, how did everybody figure this out? It's the most only thing you would know to do. You're like, yeah, that's probably the real answer. We're bored. We're on a bus together. Yeah. I want to say I have this is that I have thought of this before. I think it's a great question. It is every version.

of everything is done. Everybody kind of like goes, Oh no, we do that. Well, I mean, you can look at Australia, how far they, you know, it's there. Everybody's doing the same thing. Uh, Aaron Gonzalez, uh,

I can remember getting my first cell phone sophomore year of high school in 2002. And to send a text, it was 10 cents and receive one was two cents. Oh, yeah. I remember that. I remember my dad bringing out the cell phone bill to wonder why in the heck a 15-year-old spent $547 on text messages in one month. Unlimited data coming along probably saved my parents from bankruptcy. Yeah, that was crazy. I mean, you'd get charged if someone sends you a text. You'd be like, dude. Yeah. You'd be over your minutes.

Get to call and just be like- You got free nights after seven? Nights and weekends. You like calling people? Yeah. I'll call you after seven. Which never, that doesn't make sense that that ever was a thing. Yeah. You want to even then go, why weren't we free the whole time? What happens after seven? I wonder if it's like people would use their phones for business. So you charge them during the day. Yeah. I could see that. Yeah. But I mean, you have the ability to make it free.

Because you're letting it go after seven. It's got to be just a small fraction of all the phone calls made. Because you're charging companies that don't care. I would wager most phone calls back then were made during business hours. So they give this illusion of we're giving you this great deal, but it's really only a fraction. But people that didn't do business, we made calls after seven. You were waking up till five. Yeah.

Paula Keller. I'm listening to this as a former student and a former teacher. The Trapper Keeper was the worst. All class long, the kids were rip-opening to get paper and pencils. Lord have mercy. I could see that. Yeah, I mean, a Velcro sound over and over again is awful. That's why she's a former teacher. Yeah. She cut out.

I like she's as a former student. She did go to school though. And that's good. She acknowledged that. Trapper keepers is a big part of her life. Yeah. It's like, I actually like a Velcro sound. Do you? But if you've heard it for 25 years, you might, and it's, and they're doing it and it's a kid that's doing it like on purpose, on purpose at a certain time. It'd be like anybody that comes up and goes, tell me a joke. It's the equivalent of that where you're just like, yeah,

That person thinks they're the only one that's ever done it. And this is why she's a former teacher. She had to get out of the game. Also former student. I like that she puts both because just being a former teacher would, you know, we would know that she had gone to school. Yeah. Well, it depends on where this is. Yeah.

I can see Trapper Keepers being something that comes back as retro cool. I think they are back. When we were doing the podcast, I think, I don't know. I feel like somebody even shared it in the Nate Land group or something like a brand new Trapper Keeper out there. Yeah. I feel like they're coming back. Yeah. Yeah. I love the Trapper Keeper. I have one. A vintage one. Yeah. You almost brought it in. Yeah. It's good.

Good you did it. Almost. Almost. 20 bucks now. 20 bucks for a Trapper Keeper. How much were they before? Less than that. 19 probably. Buffalo Nickel. Brian's day. Caleb Byron. Caleb Byron. Caleb Byron. Caleb Byron. When Aaron said they had smart boards, I was like, what? So I went to YouTube and watched a video on smart boards and realized the video I watched was 14 years old.

I love this podcast, but this school episode sure did make me feel old. I don't know what a smart board is. It's like a phone where you just touch it. So I said I had chalkboards, Dusty had whiteboards. Dry erase, yeah. And then he had smart boards. I think I had both. Chalkboard and whiteboards. Yeah, we had chalk when I was in elementary school. But as I got older, it was all dry erase. Yeah, I remember a lot of chalk. But I think it was dry erase, maybe. You never had dry erase? Mm-mm.

They did not even invented markers. The only reason I'm even thinking about it is because like my church, like in a Sunday school class or something happened, not when I was actually in school. Yeah. When did the dry erase board get invented?

I mean, like you being... Well, invented and put into schools or two or three. That's true. I know, but I just want a roundabout, like, you know. And you... Because I'm sure it's a long time ago. And he had to have a bunch of cakewalks to buy them and stuff. Yeah. The popular whiteboards increased rapidly in the mid-1990s. Did not become widely used until 30 years after they were invented. Yeah, so the 1990s. So the 90s. So you were out of school. So I would have seen probably the tail end. Yeah, like that's what I saw both. I saw heavy chalkboard use. Yeah. And then I saw...

Maybe I saw some whiteboard. And some teachers, I think, preferred chalk. They would have their little chalk holder and they really got into it. I remember you'd just get so dirty with it. I hated grabbing it. And you'd lean up against it and your shirt's all ruined. It's white chalk everywhere. I do like the sound. You're a minor. You're going to work. You see a teacher and it's just like... They just looked like they just came out of a cave.

The sound of writing on a chalkboard, though, is something really nice about it. Better than, yeah, the sound of a dry erase. I don't like that. What about fingernails on chalkboard? It's tough. Yeah. That went away with the whiteboard. That's true. Yeah. Yeah, that is, yeah, all chalkboard. That is funny.

Just never ceases to, when you got to college, I mean. I don't remember, but I mean, mid nineties, I graduated college in 94. Yeah. But it's crazy. That is, it's crazy that you got smart boards. I didn't know that was a thing today. We didn't have that until my school in Alabama did not have smart boards. Okay. It was a school in Tennessee and it blew me away at the time. I was like, wow, this is a. And so it's just a big computer screen.

And they could write on it? You still project onto it. Yeah. But you can control what's being projected on by writing on it and stuff. I remember projector. Yeah. Overhead projector. I didn't mind it was not overhead. They brought it on the desk. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, you didn't have the one where they could write on the glass on the thing? Oh, yeah. Yeah. But that was on the...

But they would set it on a desk. Yeah, and it had the little thing that would project it up there. The little mirror in there. Yeah, but they wouldn't call it that with the overhead projector. That's what we called it. Oh, really? I thought I would think over is one in the ceiling. I think we're talking about two different things, but... I think I know what you're talking about. You could write on it. It has a little arm that points down. I'm not saying they were calling it right, but I do think they were calling it the overhead projector. Yeah. Maybe it is called overhead projector. Yeah. And I thought it was because the projector itself was over...

the glass over the head. But if we watched a film in school, we had an actual projector like you and your changing body. I mean, we were watching it on an actual thing like a film. We didn't have like TVs or anything. I don't think I did well on any

classes that had that projector. I think I never experienced them a lot. I would get there and I could kind of see it and they'd be like, let's get him back. Yeah, non-projector rooms. Let's get him to some chalkboard rooms. This guy can't handle all this new stuff. Lauren Walters. This past weekend we celebrated my birthday with a Nate Land theme party. And I can say in my best Dusty Slate voice that we were all having a good time.

The day began with some horse divorce or divorce. Or divorce. And we ended the night by airing a showing of one of Nate's Netflix comedy specials. From Amazon. Yeah, from Amazon. I could not have asked for a better day. I was Dusty. My brother was Nate. My dad was Breakfast Bait. And my nephew was Mr. Aaron Weber. Got a picture? Mm-hmm.

Oh, yeah. How about that? Yeah. Look at that. That's very nice. Yeah. See resemblance in all of us. Yeah. Yeah. That's a great looking Dusty. That's the best I've ever. The Brian is spot on. You know, the guy's a little young, but yeah, he is younger. But I like that green shirt. I actually. That is a nice green shirt. Those pockets. Yeah.

You know what would have been better? A Viore shirt. Viore. Get yourself some of the most comfortable and versatile clothing on the planet at viore.com slash Nate. I wore a Viore jacket the whole time I was in Australia. I wore it when I traveled. The little zip up. I mean, I'm a giant fan.

Love what they're doing. I have the athletic core shorts. That's what I used for the plane ride, the long plane ride. They had a little school logo on it. Yes. They were really good shorts. I never had those, but...

Would you all have overalls? I mean, I didn't play a lot of school sports. Yeah. So I didn't waste the shorts on me. Oh, yeah. I had some kind of canvas shorts. Yeah. I wasn't talking about those, but like, yeah. Yeah. That was like the soccer shorts. Yeah. I'm thinking like this is the gym shorts. Not this color, but that kind of material. Even the checkered pattern there like like this.

Yeah, I remember those, but I was thinking more of the netting one. You'd wear two shorts. I used to wear two pairs of shorts. A pair of shorts under a pair of shorts. Wow. Is that what people were doing at your school? My school, yeah. I did it for a long time. We were doing two shirts. We would always wear, even if we were on two shirts, always two shirts. Always two shirts. Yeah. Yeah. Always had two shirts. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy how you, in that time period, you think this is what I'll do forever. I did mine too long. I hung on to all that stuff too long. All my first, everything I have on, I have two shirts on. I have jeans with a pair of shorts underneath them and boxers on. Shortly after high school, I was like, why am I wearing two shirts?

Yeah. I mean, it's just what you did. Yeah. Did you not wear t-shirts? I never did. What was y'all's thing? I wore rubber bands on my head. I'm not talking about the force. Oh, y'all did. I'm sure we had a thing. I can't think of it right now. You're from the future.

We learned a little bit while you were gone. Aaron took one family vacation. It was to Washington, D.C. Yeah. That would be. That's exactly what Dustin said. That makes sense. He goes, yeah, you're going on a vacation once. You got to learn something. Yeah. I didn't go there until my 30s. I just went last year.

We could, yeah. Yeah, we never could afford to go on the... My high school went, but it was expensive. I never went on the big trips because they would go to...

Like, it's very funny because I might as well talk to so many people from my school. They're like, remember when we went to Washington, D.C.? And I'm like, I didn't go. I stayed and watched Citizen Kane. We were going to go. The Gulf War, right? Yeah, I was supposed to go in sixth grade. And I had that joke. But that was DuPont Elementary. This guy here, Jared Freed has a great Tonight Show where he talks about wearing two popped collars all the time. This guy's got three, it seems like. Yeah. But...

Jared, he's got a special out, right? He's got a Netflix special. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Coming out, yeah. But his two pop collars tonight show is really funny.

Do you remember guys doing this unironically? In Charleston, there was, yeah, lots of pop collars. Oh, I could see. I don't necessarily remember two shirts, but yeah, lots of pop collars in Charleston. Imagine wearing three of those. I mean, but I, you know what? I can't imagine it. Makes you look a little thicker too. You know what I mean? Yeah. But I, I mean, yeah, I did all that stuff. You would have it. You'd have the undershirt hang out a little bit below the overshirt. I still like that.

I don't mind like an undershirt hanging out. Like if I have a button down and I have like a shirt underneath it, if it hangs a little farther. A little bit. I don't mind it. Laura doesn't like it. What about jeans? Would you cut the bottom of your jeans? Cut them on the side. Yeah. And then they would spread out. Oh yeah. Yeah. You didn't do that? No. See, I grew up with, uh, Hey Arnold.

Remember, y'all are all too old for this cartoon. Oh, yeah. But this is... I've never even... I don't know if I've ever even seen this. You don't recognize that? I don't even recognize it. SpongeBob, I don't... People talk about SpongeBob so much, and I have no idea. When you don't experience something, and then you go somewhere, and everybody's overly talking about SpongeBob, and you're like, I thought that show didn't even make it. And you do realize, oh, I was just...

passed it. Totally. Yeah. Well, this was like, this came at the right time for me, but he, his shirt, this is like a famous look with the shirt hanging out from underneath. And I think about that still to the sweater over the top of button down. It almost looks like a little dress skirt that he's wearing, but that's just the shirt hanging down. That's a cool look. I remember. Would you do the tie your shirt around your waist?

Tie your over shirt. Never had that much slack. Yeah. Little bungee cord. Uh, I go, what is that blanket back there? Was there anything in Australia that if you didn't know where you were, you could tell by the way they dress that you're in a different country? Uh,

They dress about like us. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that was the crazy. So I said that there too, uh, as a joke, I was like, when you go there, everybody talks Australian and that's a lot to take in.

And it's because, and I said, and I was like, not trying to like make fun of Australia, but I think they would have that if they came here and they just hear us. Everybody sounds like us. Yeah. Cause you walk by a guy that looks, he's a mechanic or so I walked by a construction worker and you're just thinking, he's like your construction worker. And he's like, good day mate. He says that, you know, and you're like, cause when you see so crazy to see a regular person doing a regular job,

It's not like I'm seeing Steve Irwin. Yeah. I'm seeing a regular- Just a guy. This guy. Because when Australians are here, it's always the people that can afford to make that trip. Well, it's going to be- You're not seeing the average blue collar worker. Yes. Yeah. And so that's the part that's hard to-

wrap your head around and i think mate when we hear that we almost think they're saying it's a joke but they're not i mean that's just no they say made everywhere everyone but i mean yeah when you're walking around like yeah there would be occasions where you're like okay i understand i'm they're speaking australian but yeah when you walk by just i mean a dude that's got a yellow construction outfit on got a helmet i mean it's exactly what we wear and he's a good day mate

And then he said something else Australian. I can't do Australian. Joe was able to kind of do it. I don't know how to do it. But it was that was like kind of like, oh, that's a you know, it's a lot. You're like, well, everybody's doing that here. Yeah. You know, it's a lot to take in. Yeah. Yeah.

I, I even experienced that in a smaller way in Canada. Like when you drive and then you see like what, what I would think of even like Northern Michigan, like what I would think of as a redneck dude, I'm expecting him to sound Southern and he sounds Canadian. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You don't got a lot of lettuce on your head, but that's what they say. Was the jet lag hard? Uh, it was that I am doing as a joke, so I don't want to say it, but it was, it was, I woke up at like, I,

I'm telling you, because the flight is so long, you wrap your head around. I had a really hard time with London. Now, when I landed in London, I had three shows in a row. I was falling asleep on every car ride. I could not stay awake. I didn't get any time to adjust to it. I just landed and then was doing tours and then

and I was up late. But this one, you're on the plane so long and you're only on there seven hours with London. So it's like, I mean, you're not going to just get on it and fall asleep. You know, like you kind of get on it, you know, maybe you get three hours of sleep, maybe. But with a 15 hour flight,

You can mess around for six hours and you still have a great night's sleep. Yeah. You could still have a long time to go. So, you know, it's like, it was like, you didn't feel rushed. And so now we woke, I woke up at five 45 and,

in the morning. First day there? Yeah, first few days. I mean, we went to bed, I think it was, you know, it was like 5.45 p.m. the first day and you're just trying to stay awake just to, because you're like, well, we can't go to sleep yet. But you're absolutely, you're like, I could go to sleep right now. And so we, I think the first night we all went to sleep at like 7 p.m. And it's their winter, so it gets dark.

I watched they were building a hotel right next to our hotel. I watched these crane operators. I mean, in Sydney, I saw the sunrise every day in Sydney because you would get up that early. And then, you know, it gets dark early until you see the sunset. And these crane operators, I'd watch them build this thing.

like hotel next to our hotel. I just sat and watched them all because I had a great view of them. Yeah, it's fun. Yeah. I didn't mind it. I like watching them. And they were working. I'd watch them pick up something and then they got to, because then I think about the crane workers, like it's got to be so, I mean, because you're up there, you're up there. They have to go up all those steps. Yeah. So I was like, man, how bad is that when you probably get up there and you're like,

A phone. Oh, yeah. And then you got to go all the way back down. Maybe to your truck. Or you got to use the bathroom. It's the same thing. I was thinking they had to have a bathroom up there. There has to be other peeing in bottles. Or just off the side. Right? But, I mean, you're in a major city. I mean, everybody can kind of see. I would think they'd have to have some kind of like...

porta potty system up there. But I mean, you got to really probably watch what you eat. Like, you know, you got to probably be very careful about a lot of things. If they like, you don't need a street hot dog mid shift. No, no. Yeah. You got to, you know, you're the one that goes, they all go eat and you order the salad. They're like, what are you doing? You got, I'm about to be up in the air for seven hours.

So I can't be plopping down. And then I didn't mean it like that, but it's like that. It's, uh, yeah.

But I was the, you'd watch the crane. Like, you know, they'd be like, come over here and you get, they just pick up this one thing and they just move it over to, and it's this giant thing that would be a nightmare to move through all this stuff. And so they're just like, and it was two of them and they, and they would have to talk cause they would, you know, they could hit each other. And so then they just, I'm going to just watch them pick up stuff. I'm not watching like a TV show, just sit there and look at them.

We just thought about them. That's fun. I mean, when we were kids, we used to just, when people were clearing out land, we would just go watch them push down trees. Yeah. I mean, it's entertaining. It is. I can watch someone cut down a tree. Yeah. It's fun to watch. Because it's huge trees. They have a show about it. Yeah. Yeah. There's this place called Diggerland.

The amusement park where kids play with, where imagine being able to do this as a kid. They give you that right now. Yeah. Where is it? This is in New Jersey. I'd like to go. What if they're just, you're actually like building stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Tricky to think of it as a theme park. It'd be fun to take a kid. Yeah. It'd be fun to take a kid there. Yeah. That would be fun. Yeah. Yeah. I never did a crane. I drove a Bobcat, but never drove a crane. Bobcats were fun.

I like a Bobcat too. Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right. All right. Uh, that's it. I heard y'all was in trouble with that at any time. Well, you're 15 hour flight, like 12 hours. And you say, I guess I could watch to see what those guys did. And you're like, I did watch, uh, uh, some of the school episode. Oh, I did see it. I never started or ended a podcast, but yeah, that was a little trouble here. Ending them. I feel like I dismounted. Well, Aaron struggled a lot. Um,

Okay. I mean, it was pretty bad. Yeah. Why don't you show us how it's done, Brian? Well, can we talk about where we've been? Yeah. Where are we going? I mean, yeah, you're going to be at the Alaska State Fair, which is America's New Zealand. Yeah. Yeah. It's not a bad comparison. Yeah. Something.

Trying to put something in, you know. I don't know how much comedy has been done while I was gone. Y'all did a great job. And everybody seemed to love it. So I'll be at Alaska State Fair August 26th.

So, yeah, it's a crazy month when someone's like, what are you doing in August? I'm like, Australia, New Zealand, Alaska. That is wild. It's a wild month. I've never been to any of them. Alaska would knock off. That's the last state I haven't been to. Are you the only guy ever to do Australia, New Zealand, Nashville, Alaska? In the same month. In the same month? Well, Nashville. There's a good chance. Yeah. You're the first person ever to do that. Yeah, that is true. That's fun. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Australia, New Zealand, Nashville. I spent the night in Dallas because of our flight. We got stuck back at Dallas and it's because we had to spend our flight, got, uh,

delay canceled almost to the next morning. Well, it's a certainty now. Are you saying shows or just be there? To have been in those cities in that order in that span of time. Over this week. Yeah. Well, when you start adding things in, it's like in that order. Oh yeah. Well, yeah, but that's, but even just to do Alaska and Australia and New Zealand all in one month is a big deal. Yeah. Probably not. A lot of people have done that. If any,

Alaska's the last state. That's what I'm saying. But you already kept adding things. You were like, and be in Dallas and be in. Well, I go, if we're adding that, of course, he's the only guy who have made that same path. Yeah. We, uh, yeah. Alaska will be the last. I've done all states now. Uh,

been to every state in America. All right. I've performed in every state in America except Montana. I've been to Montana, but I have not done a show there. So that's the only one I got to knock off. I'm pretty, that's one that I'm kind of proud, like in your own little. To have not done Montana. Yeah. I go, they've been calling and I, I go, nah. I held out. No, but like performing, like, I mean, I'm not even talking about, I remember doing a show

gig with a guy in West Virginia and at this show. I've heard told this to like it was dude they did. So when I would our license plate in our car in New York still had Tennessee tags. So we'd have to drive down and do Marta once a year. And so I would drive down and I would get those email gigs, you know, that you pick up. It's like $100 no hotel, you know, whatever it is. And so I still get those emails. I like seeing them because it's always like

I know where it can go. Like, you see what you go. Like, I mean, it's just so for these Boulder one 25. Yeah. Boulder one 25. No hotel. Yeah. Like, you know, like that. And you're like, and someone would go and I mean, I did these gigs. It is some comic is like, yeah, yeah, I'll do it. And, uh, so I do this one in Western Virginia and we go in this room and you had to ring a buzzer to get in the room.

To get in, like, it was like a nightclub and they were trying to do a comedy show before the night club came or something. So, but every time they, it wasn't just unlocked. So if someone wanted in, they had to ring it. Like, and it was a loud ring, almost like it was like a bank or something like that.

And so we're doing the show. I go up first and then I got to bring up the other guy. And you're like, yeah, I don't know this guy. You know, you're just two comics. You just kind of do it. So I go up. No one's there. We're standing on the dance floor. There's I mean, honestly, maybe eight people came early for this show. And then as we're going up, then people start buzzing.

Well, they're there because they're like, oh, I thought that like dancing part started. So now our audience is getting bigger, but it's just the people wanting, they're just annoyed that we're there. And they're ringing the bell. I mean, every joke is just like, just they're ruining every joke. There's no point to us being here. Then I had to bring the other guy up and I go, what do you want me to say about you when I bring you up? And he goes, say, I've almost performed in all 50 states. And I've always thought about that.

And right now, I've almost performed in all 50 states. But I remember just thinking, well, we all have almost performed in all 50 states. We're pretty close. Yeah, it was such a weird kind of thing to say, I thought at the moment. Oh.

Almost. Yeah. In fact, this guy's almost performed in all 50 states. And they're like, oh, this guy must be good. And he could perform in four states. Yeah. That's almost all 50. It's almost all 50. So right now, I'm at almost all 50 states. I need Montana. Montana's great, too. Yeah. What's your problem with Montana? I love Montana. I just don't think I've done a show there. I just went there this last year.

And but I don't earlier this year, I think, but I have not done a show there. So I need to do a show there. I'm going to do knock it off.

All right. That's where I'll be. Where are you at, Brian? Boulder, 125. Just took it this morning. Same email. No hotel. Yeah. That's the funniest man. I wish people could see those emails. I mean, I did get one this morning. I always still look at them too. I love them. And they're like, it's just, it is what it is. It's obviously you don't want to be doing all these forever. But it's, man, you just see them. They're like 75 bucks.

You can bring your own feature. Yeah. 75 bucks. You're featuring for a pretty big act. Sometimes they say that you're like, there's no way it's a big act, but 75 bucks, uh, you know, in, uh, Charlestown, Michigan, no hotel. Yeah. No hotels. The one that just, you're like, I mean, you're going to lose. It's going to cost you.

So every time you see a comic go and do some shows, just remember, some of them, they're paying. They're not making money. The love of the game. The love of the game. And that's what you have to go through. The worst was I used to be on those lists. I've asked to be taken off most of those, but I would go, oh, all right, I'll take it.

And then not get it. Like I was like beat out by other, like it's an awful gig that I was like, do I really want to do this? But then I go, you know what? I'll take it. And then I don't get it. Yeah. Underbid. I'll do it for free. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cause you mean, yeah, just, it's a onslaught of just boom. I'll do it. Yeah. I'll take it. And then he's got to go through and,

And yeah, you, and if you saw one near you, it was always like, oh yeah, that was the ones. That's why I still look. Yeah. Yeah. But they're always like, need a female Jewish comic must perform nude. And somebody's like, I'll do it. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes they're very specific where it's, you know, the audience is one guy. It's just even a comedy show.

August 27th. I'm in Irwin, Pennsylvania. September 2nd, Appleton, Wisconsin. September 9th, North Charleston, South Carolina. Oh, nice. This weekend, I'm at Hilarity's Comedy Club in Cleveland, Ohio. Hot club. Come on out. Never been. I'm pumped. Heard none of my good things. What club? Hilarity's. Oh, yeah. It's great. In Cleveland. Yeah. Yeah, it's awesome.

This weekend, I'm in Miami, Florida at the Miami Improv. Oh, yeah. So come there. I've never been. Miami Improv is awesome. All right. Well, I passed through Miami on the way to Key West back in the day, but never been to Miami. So I'm pumped. And then next weekend, I'll also be going to Maine.

Portland, Maine for the very first time. Never been to Maine. So I'm excited. That's nice. Yeah. A lot of fun. Checking them off. Yeah. Almost all 50 states. Almost all 50 states. Have you been to all 50 states? Nah, I've not been to all of them, no. Yeah.

Hilarities is where I think Seinfeld got the call. He has, you look at a note there, it's where Seinfeld got the call that their show got picked up. Really? Wow. And it might have been a letter or fax that centers something and he's got it in there.

I wonder what will happen to me. One of my bats is from Hilarity. Oh, I got a bat too. Yeah. Yeah. It's the run. You get one for headline on a weekend there? Well, they gave me one. I don't know. I don't want to say they do it for everyone. For safety. Yeah. You show up. Here, take this. You'll need it. Yeah. I don't know if everybody gets one, but it's like selling out or something. I didn't sell out. I think they just got to like you.

Okay. So if you don't, we'll see. Yeah. It's going to be tough. Oh man. If I don't get one. I hope they give you a little one. They go, we're not doing the big bats anymore. And then it goes, it's just your first time through. They can't give you a bat every time. Yeah. You know? All right, everybody. Well, that was it. We love you. Thanks always for listening. It's glad to be back.
