for a long time and Bates was a similar yeah he's difficult to be with because you guys don't have you know you're just used to your own time Nate tells me that a lot he says you're difficult to be with yeah no and like Bates yeah yeah you're a lot like Brian Bates you're a lot no it's uh I enjoy having both of you uh it's uh he took you to Australia so he must like you

That's true. Yeah. That's a good sign. That is a good sign. That is a big trip for someone that you don't like. Yes. That'd be tough. Yeah. For sure. It's a long one. Yeah. No, he had me carry all his bags. Yeah. But it seemed cool. Yeah. Joe's special, the cool classic is out on my YouTube channel, Nate Land Entertainment. So go check that out. It's great.

Yeah, Nate directed it. I've got a great, great response. I've directed it. Gave Nate a shot. Yeah. Gave a kid a shot. There you go. Shot. We have that coming out, and then we have the showcase, which should be out now. It came out yesterday, and we've got a lot going on, Nateland. We're having a good announcement for it. There's a lot of good, good plans. We're changing, I think, the Nateland company, I believe, is

I'm changing. I like that. It feels like a staple. Yeah. And we're not a staple, but it just feels more what we are is a company. Yeah. That's what we are as a company. Used to be entertainment, but now you're all business. Yeah. Entertainment's gone. We do entertainment in the company.

Do you, uh, is there a way to be an angel investor? Uh, yeah. It's cash. Cool. Straight to me. Great. What's the return? He doesn't know what he needs. There is no return. So I just give you cash. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Invest. I mean, get in there. I mean, take a chance. I feel good about it. Take a chance. Keep the entertainment rolling. So when we go through our business meeting, I go, don't forget. I got Joe's $40. Just if anything comes up.

If he has any demands, listen to him because he's a top investor. He's a top. He's their only investor at $45. I would love to be the only angel investor for Nalen company. What does it mean to be an angel investor? It's before. All I know is that it's before a company goes public on the stock market. Those super wealthy people can get an early investment.

Give some funding early. Get in ground level. A lot of that happened in Silicon Valley. I'm guessing you're focusing on the angel part. Well, I just wonder what it means. Yeah, I get investor. I don't know why it's called angel investor. I guess maybe you're like, before it's big, you're like, hey, I'll come in and help you out before this is big. It's the hypothetical. We're struggling. And then some big person comes in and is like, I'm going to give you a million bucks. I'm going to help you out. When Aaron comes back, we'll Google it and find out.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Next week. I forgot I'm working the computer. Yes, I got it, though. Oh, OK. We can y'all see. Is he fine? Or do you need him to move or anything? Move back. I can move. I was just trying to look at everybody. Yeah. Yeah. You can scoot the chair up and then just. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So I won't look at Brian. You can try not to. You can you can do a little. Is that good?

Don't move past that. It says here they're wealthy private investors focused on financing small businesses, business, I can't read, business ventures in exchange for equity. So it doesn't sound like much of an angel to me. It seems like they're wanting something out of it. They get something. Yeah, they get a good return when the company does well. Yeah. Big return. It's hoping they land company does good. Will you go public eventually?

I just did. I just said it. That's how you get on the stock market. Too late to be an angel investor. I declare bankruptcy. What I want is a Nate Land Company penny stock. That's what I want.

Okay. No, that doesn't do anything for you. I don't even know what that means. Can you give me a penny? There's the whole penny stock market. Never mind. Penny stocks refers to a small company stock that typically trades for less than $5 per share. Still doesn't mean a lot to me. Is that the thing they made money on Wolf of Wall Street in the TV show?

The TV show Wolf of Wall Street. I mean the movie Wolf of Wall Street. Didn't they do like the penny stocks? They did, yeah. You can make a ton of money on penny stocks if you know what you're doing, which I don't. Okay. Yeah. Because they're tiny. They're small. Under $100 million companies. Like paying the penny slots. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, we... So, yeah, there's a lot of good stuff. Sure. Yeah, a lot of fun stuff. I'm very excited about this stuff. We got... The showcase has got... What is it? Six comics? Three comics an episode. Dusty, Bates, and Aaron hosting two episodes each. Six episodes. Three comics an episode. Very fun comics. You know, it's like TV clean material. So...

It's, you know, that's what we're just one episode out so far. One episode out. Is that the one that I'm in? Yep. All right. I believe so. Who is your favorite? I'm saying this and I have not looked at anything. Who is your favorite of the three hosts?

Huh? They all did great. Maybe go to Nate Land Entertainment. Just up there. Yeah. Click on that. Yeah. That thing says at Nate Land is the YouTube. So that's good. At Nate Land. We'll change that to Nate Land Company. We're still in the mix of changing all that stuff. Didn't look like it's out yet. It comes out Tuesday. We're Monday. Oh, okay. I didn't know y'all were being this exact. I thought you said the last time it comes out October 1st.

I don't know. I think it comes out tomorrow. Well, I'm pumped for it. All right. So, which when people are listening, that's why you act like it's already out because it will be. I got you. I thought I'm very excited about this one. As Joe, Joe's was great. You go watch Joe. Joe's is doing very well. It's doing very well. And, uh,

Joe's looks great. Joe's is you're the different one. That's why I like it was very different than Mike and Greg. Yeah. And Joe's very, very funny. I'm a big Joe fan. Obviously, he's taking him everywhere. So super fun, super fun to watch, super funny. And then we got the showcase, which is showing a bunch of different comics. You can see where Dusty stopped watching. 26 minute mark. Seem to be reading notes here during the special. Yeah.

It's a little part of the skit. Yeah. That's one of the better parts. That one's so funny. 26 minutes, folks. Yeah. Yeah. No, but I mean, all the parts are funny, but I love that. Oh, nice. Yeah. The horoscope, evil horoscope. Yeah. Yes. Yes. No, this is not my YouTube. I wouldn't pull up my YouTube. Could you read an evil? Do you know one? I think I can remember most of the evil horoscope. Do you know your horoscope? I do know it. Yeah. Yeah.

That's crazy. I would think you would not. Well, I learned it before I woke up to Satanism. So what is your... I feel like it's more fun to say it that way. It's more fun to say it that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know your son, what's your son? I'm a Taurus. You share it with Hitler. Oh. Yeah. The whole bet is if somebody gives you a hard time about your horoscope, right?

They say, oh, you can remember an evil historical figure for all 12 horoscopes, and then you can call it out for them. So if you give me guff for being Scorpio, I can be like, oh, Taurus, that's a good one.

Hitler is a Taurus. Yeah. Yeah. And then I go through the crowd and ask people what their sign is. Yeah, it's very fun. Yeah. I like that. Yeah, it's good. Hitler, Bernie Madoff, and Saddam Hussein. All right. All Taurus. A lot of power. And Dusty Slate. A lot of power in a Taurus. It is a lot of power. Yeah. Very authoritarian. Yeah. Yeah.

It's known for being a bullheaded sign. Is he stubborn? Yeah, I would say so. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. If you got some of his beliefs, he's about the most stubborn you can be. Classic Taurus. Yeah, classic Taurus. I didn't believe horoscopes until right now. Yeah. Well, they always can get you. If you start reading about them, you go, oh, I am like that. Exactly. What are you? Scorpio. Scorpio. Yeah. More commonality.

Scorpio, we share. Between the two of you guys. I believe it's... He's Scorpio? Yeah. Known for being ambitious. That's me. Machiavellian. Oh, yeah. And...

Charles Manson is a Scorpio. That's tough. That's tough. That's how you look at it. Very jealous. Does he get jealous? Oh, yeah. He's jealous of you right now knowing this stuff. Classic Scorp. I'm Aries. Aries, I believe. I'm not remembering Aries. That must be a good sign. Yeah. I believe Aries is Kim Jong-un's dad.

But I'll have to double check. Yeah, but he, you know. Well, he was a great golfer, just like you. Yeah, he has the world record. World record. Every hole. And he claims that too. And he was really the first one, right? He started the whole, not even start the country of North Korea, but he started this whole separatist thing, right? Yeah. I know. Yeah. I know that there's Kim Jong-un, his dad and his grandpa were the main dude. Yeah. So, yeah, the first one. Yeah. He's like, all right. And then the rest have just been kind of.

you know, following in his footsteps, but he really was like, I'm going to separate myself. But I think he said, I admire that about him. I think he went out on a golf course. That's what we're trying to do with the Nate land company. Separate ourselves. But have you heard the story of his golf score? No. He went out on a golf course with 11 security guards, his first time ever playing golf. And after 18 holes, he said he shot a 26, which is like 12 hole in ones and six, uh,

And he's never played before. And the bodyguards are just like, yep, that's what he shot. He has 11 witnesses for the score of 26. What happened on the twos? But my thinking is he's so bad at golf, knows nothing about the sport, that he's like, what's a lie that sounds good? And he's like 26. Oh, yeah. He can't be hole in one every time. Yeah. He was probably tempted to say 18.

I bet he goes to his friends. It was an 18, but yeah, I don't want to brag. Let's I don't want to be obnoxious.

Let's say 26. 26, which is about 32 strokes better than any other score in the history of golf. Yeah. I think that's good. Yeah. Maybe North Korea has the best lawns for it, though. Maybe it's a good... You know what I mean? You may be right. How long are these courses, too? Did they even say the course? You know, I wish I knew the course, but it was probably one of the first golf courses in North Korea would be my guess. Yeah. It'd be great if you had... And that record was...

The course record was 18 or 26. I bet it's up there. Yeah, it should be up there. Yeah. That would be a lot of people want to play that course. Yeah. I can't believe he shot a 26. Yeah. That's hard to believe. 11 witnesses. Should get that on the PGA. Yeah. Is that a tour? They should do that course. Yeah. And he goes, let's see if y'all can do it. Yeah. I don't think he ever played again either. I think he played once. Well, it's what's the point of it? Yeah. He mastered the sport. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

What's the point? We had a fun weekend. This has been a couple weeks we've been out. I know I've missed a few, and Vecchione did good filling in, and we got Dusty back. Yeah, this month has been – Yeah, he's gone. I got a lot of stuff this month. I'm home for, I think, about a day and a half, and then we head out. I go to our – we were in Boise, right?

We were in Boise just this weekend, Unreal Show, Salt Lake City, where the jazz play, and that was very special. A lot of people. For a stay at that arena, I'm the number one comedian. All right. Second all-time entertainment. To? Garth Brooks. Oh, come on. That's bedtime.

I calculated if I headlined 40 club weeks, if I've headlined 40 club weeks, I would perform for 10,000 less people than those two nights. That's how many people it was. Yeah.

It was, yeah, it was like 10,000 people, 11,000 people, 8,000 people. It was crazy. It was like, yeah. That's amazing. Congratulations. Thanks. It was, well, it's very, it's very, very nice that, uh, obviously, uh, Utah is, uh, I go there a lot, very special place. Uh, but I mean, everywhere, Boise, I mean, uh, you know, we'll be blanking on where we were even before that, but it's, and then this week we go to, uh, Portland, Maine and like Rochester and the radio city, uh,

It's a main hat I'm wearing right now. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I love Portland, man. It's great. Danny Ainge came out. Danny. We met Danny Ainge. Utah. General manager of the Utah Jazz, I believe. Yeah. Great dude. Yeah. It was something. And the shows were really great. The crowds were so good. So good.

I like arena. We talked a lot about this. Arenas are, I know they're big and all that, but I really, I mean, I like doing them in the fact that you have these screens so you can see it's almost watching a special taping live. I would imagine, you know, for the, cause you know, I've been to a ton of shows and I,

not comedy, but music or anything, you always end up kind of watching the screen, but that's always a thing that you kind of think, well, I don't want to, I feel like I'm just watching the screen. I'm not watching, but I mean, you would have to be in a small, small venue to actually,

see a person's face even if you're in a thousand seat place if you're in the back you can't it's very hard to see the person's facial expressions people in my family used to take binoculars they would sit so far away at concerts before i guess it was before screens i don't know but they would take binoculars i saw a guy we met had binoculars oh yeah yeah

Yeah. I could see it. My kind of person. Yeah. Joe likes some nice binoculars. Yeah. He has some, he could get it to him right now. I got them right in my golf bag. All right. On the garage. So it's, but I mean, with the screens, I looked at it as like, I was like, you know what? It's, it's like, it's the, the great part of this is you're in a room together with a lot of people and it's fun just to see everybody have a,

fun time and laugh and it's contagious. And, uh, I remember people would afterwards, some would say, man, this guy behind us was just dying, laughing so hard. And we were laughing at like how hard he was like, but it's like, people just love seeing people have joy. And that's, and that's, what's so great with the ring. Cause you get stuck in a spot where it's hard to,

So anything you go to, it's going to be hard to see someone's face. But with the screen, I mean, I can do facial expressions more than I could in a theater because you have a screen there and they get big laughs because you're able to... It's like watching...

a special, but being there and also being in the moment. Yeah. And it's an event, right? It's like, you can watch a comedy at home, but you're like, you still got all your regular distractions. You got your phone, you got, uh, you know, you can pause it. It's like, you're in an event. It is fun to be in an event. It's yeah. It's a, you get in a groove and it's just, yeah, it's a special and everybody that comes out is just nice and, uh, wonderful. We love it.

It's also, you get a little adrenaline looking up at 10,000 people. I'm like, I'm just a tiny man standing where the Utah Jazz play. It was, yeah, it was so high. They just go, I mean, it was when you walked out, because we have a curtain up, you know, like right when you walk out on the stage. So we're not just, everybody can just see everything backstage, but you can see the top. And I mean, it's just all the way to the top.

And it's, I mean, the fact that people come out, I, yeah, it's you. Yeah. Yeah. You have dreams of it happening like this, but it's every single time it's overwhelming. It's, it's, it's, it's pretty special. My impression of Nate doing arenas. He gets, he gets, he does his, he does his final joke. Oh,

Crowd goes wild, standing ovation. He comes off stage. You know, I kind of like arenas. Yeah. They're okay. They're all right. You know what? I think I like arenas. Yeah. You like the screaming 10,000 fans who just laughed for an hour straight. Yeah. Well, that's the fun part is making that many people laugh. That's the goal. Because I do it every hour. The next one, you got to somewhat...

I mean, it's not like one can, I guess people are going to like, I mean, so many people like the Tennessee kids, but because it's the first one they saw or whatever they saw. Uh, and, but you just try to make it this moment where like, if you can just have them laughing the whole time and just having a good time and they leave just like, what a, you know, like they feel fulfilled. I mean, that's the goal.

That's what we're trying to do at Nate Lane Company. All you got to do. Create some stuff. Yeah. We're doing... Get your angel investments in now. Get your angel investments. Comerica. Co-America. What? Comerica Industries. Comerica Industries. Where when Kramer started his own company. Oh, yeah. That's what you're doing. That's what I'm doing. Nate Lane Company. We are. We're going to have great stuff coming.

There's a lot of stuff planning. There's a lot of stuff that we're planning to do with this, trying to make stuff that's like all these specials that we're about to do. It's comedy. It's comedy that you can go with your whole family. That's the thing that I want it to be. We're not making comedy for kids, but if your kids can listen, you can decide if you want your kids to listen. I'm not saying everything's going to be

you're not gonna like every single thing or you might not this and that pick, but it's like the, the, we're, I'm doing it with the idea of you in mind, the watcher and, uh, you know, it's stuff you don't have to turn off in your kids. Well, it's just stuff like that. It's like stuff that you can feel. It's a little safe. I mean, I understand having kids, uh, you know, it's like this stuff that,

Try not to make it uncomfortable. Yeah. And if you're like a grown kid, you can still watch it with your parents. Like if you're in your twenties or thirties, you can watch with your parents and not be embarrassed about what's happening. That's the whole, you know, but we have 10 year olds come to shows. I,

I like that. I think when they're that young, some of them, because they listen to podcasts, get everything. And then some kids, they get what they get, but they love seeing their parents laugh hard. And then you love seeing your kid get stuff. And you're just trying to make it that kind of thing where even the younger generation feels like they're listening to an adult podcast.

programming kind of, but it's, it's okay for them. You know, the goal of is it's okay for them to listen. You're not going to be like, oh man, that's really, really hard to, you're about the only comic I know out there doing it really. I mean,

uh, at that level. No, Brian, all you gotta do is make everybody laugh for 90 straight minutes, the whole family in a giant arena. That's all you gotta do. That's all you gotta do. I mean, I know other clean comics, but they don't reach 10 year olds and 70 year olds. I think how you do it is you're not trying to reach 10 year olds and 70 year olds. I'm just trying not to make my parents upset with what I'm doing. So that's all I do.

Everything I put out, I just don't want my parents to be embarrassed or mad and they would come watch. That's really how I just do every joke I do. Every everything is just I don't want my parents. I think a lot of, you know, my wife's parents. I just don't want any the older generation to be like kind of disappointed or like just kind of like.

You know, I think about them a lot because it's just, I just feel like they don't, it's not like I'm trying to make it for them because you don't have to make it for them. They get everything. You don't have to like, like dumb it down for kids or for adults. You just do your act and then just don't do, you know, it's. Well, that's what I'm doing too. You're just doing it at a much, much higher level. How does your dad feel about you comparing him to a gorilla? Yeah.

Now, he likes it. Okay, good. Yeah, I mean, I think I have an answer. I do compare him to Grill in this new act. I find that the higher the success goes, the more your parents are willing to go, hey, that's okay. Oh, yes. You know, I don't mind that you say that. I told a joke. I said it this week at Utah. But it's funny because I grew up, my parents are Catholic.

And then, uh, are they, they grew up Catholic and then, but we were, but I was raised Baptist. And so they went to Baptist in here. So I have all of the Catholic guilt without any of the fun of Catholic. And then just the strictness of Baptist, which is the most strict of like, you could, especially not, not as much now, but when we were growing up, the Baptist was the most, for sure. They could get disappointed or real fast at you. Yeah. And, uh,

And that's just what it was now. It's not like that now. So every day is a pretty tough day when you're like, you got the Baptist, I'm not supposed to do any of this stuff. Then I get the Catholic guilt, but without the Catholic, because it's probably the funnest one. They get loose with it. They get very loose with it. The moms, the Catholic?

No, both. Oh, okay. I grew up non-baptized and I was jealous of people that were baptized. Oh, yeah. You can get baptized. Yeah, anytime. Anytime you want to. He's there. I'm a little self-conscious. I picture it's just babies and then me showing up. Well, it's better than going to hell. Right. Right. I know. It's tough, though. It's tough, though. It's a little... I don't know. It's hard work. A little self-conscious, though. Yeah, yeah. But that's fine. You can...

As you talk to Hitler down there, you will say, I just never did it. Cause it was, I think Hitler probably did it. Cause he was like, well, I was, I was going to try it. Uh, yeah. Anyway, it was a fun, uh,

Yeah, it's been, this tour has been special. It's been great. We're off and running. We're doing, uh, you know, we're going to have a big, big thing. You're at the beginning of the Snake Land Company stuff. Uh, we got the show. We got, uh, the three specials are out that we directed. And then, uh, we got the showcase coming out. We're going to hopefully do more of those. We got some other plans, some other stuff coming. Uh, and then we're going to do some more of those.

And try to really make something, you know, I don't know. We'll see what it, what it ends up becoming, but just trying to, you know, not be, just be entertained. I'm sold. You got my cash. Yeah. Where were you guys? So I was a Saturday. I was in Wilmington, Ohio doing a Joe Zimmerman gig. Hmm.

Oh, yeah. I forgot about it. I think I canceled it for a Nate gig. You did. You did. So I take your second-hand gigs. What are the odds of this? Full circle. Yeah. Your picture was still up on the wall. But it was a great gig. Very fun show. I met our intern, Amelia, for the first time. All right. She brought me this...

World's Best Boss Coffee Mug. So thank you, Amelia. And I met a lot of folks there and that was a lot of fun. And then last night I was in Philadelphia at Helium Comedy Club. Oh, yeah. Well, yesterday afternoon I had a 4.30 show. Eagles game at 1 o'clock. As you know, I was up against... So the game should have been over around 4.00.

Last play of the game, Redskins, sorry, not Redskins, Commanders tied up, goes into overtime. Yeah. So everybody who is there is in the bar watching the game. And I was like, is there any way we could wait a little bit to let the game be over? And then the manager was like, well, we got another show after you, so we can't wait. He's like, we can wait five minutes. And the Eagles kicked the game-winning field goal right when the announcer is making the welcome to whatever. Yeah. You know, so everybody saw it. They cheered. Yeah.

And the show went on and it was great. Yeah. Oh, great. That's great. That's great. A little pressure there. Yeah. I went to Skyline Comedy Club in Wisconsin, in Appleton, Wisconsin. It was great. A couple of sold out shows, a couple of shows that were definitely not sold out. But they were all fun. It was a blast. It was great. I loved it. Appleton, such a nice town. Yeah. I had a great time. It is a cool spot.

Joe was with me. And so we went through it. Played golf with Tony Finau. Played golf with Tony Finau. Joe's a very good golfer. Joe played college golf with Davidson.

It's true. Davidson, shout out to my boy, Steph Curry. Yeah, they went to school at the same time. Close personal friend. And he's a great golfer. School at the same time, at the same place? Same team. We were on the basketball team together. Is that true? No. Joe's a sneaky athlete. Yeah. I mean, his energy and everything, his look comes off like this guy wouldn't know about sports. But it's, Joe is good at basketball. He's good at golf.

I appreciate it. Yeah. Billiards. Any highlights of you playing basketball on the internet anywhere? There's an old comedy sketch of me doing a comedy basketball thing. But no real... No real basketball. Yeah. I don't know if we have to look that up. No, you don't have to look that up. I'm just trying to be useful here. You're trying to be the computer guy. Well, since we're talking about sports, Dusty, instead of that, why don't you tell us about game time? Oh, that's a great idea. Yeah.

Maybe you could listen one time. Yeah. I usually, I wonder if you've ever said that to someone, like, you got a lady's last name. I don't know. Avila. Bo Avila.

Maybe it's the ladies. Maybe it is. I usually listen during my commute to and from work. I just took a drink of water when Nate brought up the scenario of Dylan Lee hearing that John was there to see him. Pretty sure I stopped breathing trying to hold in the water. Tough time. Go Jackets. People love that. They like, yeah. I had a guy yell Go Jackets this weekend. And I didn't, like, it was in Idaho Falls.

They were great too. Yeah. Because you people, you bring the energy. That's like what's so wonderful. And we have a 3 p.m. show in Salt Lake City. Great show.

Sunday shows great, you know, usually typical of Friday and Saturday everybody kind of that's when they took me going out But everybody comes very excited. We're adding all these shows so we have to do them sometimes at weird times and all this but We will do our world do the best we can to bring you that but I mean You guys have been really great at no matter what time, you know, the shows have been awesome. Um

But a guy yelled go jackets last night. And I first I was like, what? And then I was like, oh, yeah, yeah. And I was like, go jackets. Yeah. Yeah. So I love I love go jackets. Grant Morgan. Nate said at the NFL find him for throwing football in the stands. He would tell them they had to give the money to charity. And Aaron said that would never happen.

But that is what the NFL as well as other professional leagues do with the money they collect from fines. They give it to the charity. Oh, that's nice. I doubt it, though. You know what I mean? It goes to a charity. That's just a tax write-off. Yeah. Tax shelter. Thanks, Grant. No, that is nice. That is very nice. Very nice. Yeah. Jeff J. Snyder. Baker's Dozen was right.

We call him B-Names. I don't know if I want to explain that. Any B-Name, they're talking about me. Yeah, Bogo. I remember Bogo. Oh, yeah. I love Bogo Tour. Oh, okay. I told him about the Bogo Tour this week. Yeah. Yeah, that was a fun one. Love that. Baker's Dozen was right. The Braves did call themselves America's Team during the TBS days. Ted Turner started in the 1970s as the owner of the team. It was almost a joke most of the time because they were really bad for a long time.

The Braves have always been America's team today. Well, they used to be, you weren't on this episode, but I said they were America's team and no one agreed. They're like, no, that's just the Cowboys. It's because they were on what TNT or TBS every night. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Ted Turner made it. He made him America's team. I feel like they are still are. Yeah. Always will be. It was that John, John Smoltz, Greg Maddox era. Yeah. Dale Murphy, Tom Gleiman. Boom.

That was the Fred McGrath. I was collecting baseball cards. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, Roy, Oh, Potter. Oh, Lindy. Roy. Nice job. Nate. Is that it? Roy? No, but that's a good guess. Roy. Oh, Potter. Oh, Lindy.

That's great. I felt like they knew that other stuff was going to be so much. They could just give him Roy up top. Like the Opada Olindi is like, it's like you're going to, that's like parents are like, it's not easy, dude. What we're about to do to you. So we'll give you a nice Roy. I almost thought I should have given him O-Roy. You know what I'm like? O-Roy. Just keep it going. O-Roy, Opada, Olindi. Just keep it going. Oh boy. I'm pretty sure.

that I'm the only person from Kenya who listens to this show. So here's a helpful heads up.

There are way more than three animals on this continent that eat meat. John Chris said he went on a safari. There's only three animals out there that eat meat. Crocodiles, leopards, jackals, African wild dogs, just to name a few. John Chris was not paying attention on that safari. Some poor American is going to try to pet a baboon and lose a limb. That's true. That is true. Roy's are...

What are they on the news? Like our correspondent? He's our correspondent. Kenyan correspondent. Man on the street. He's our Kenyan correspondent. Let's go to Roy. Go to Roy in Kenyan. And he just, my brother's over in Africa right now. Well, you should warn him. Because if you watch the John Chris episode, it'd be dangerous. It would be. Cherith,

Cute story. That's got to be a made up last name. I doubt it. Nobody lies. Yeah. Cherith Coot story. Cute story. It sounded like they were discussing Richard Jewell as being a bad example of moral character.

Richard Jewell was falsely accused. Ultimately, he was vindicated, but that got so... Vindicated. Vindicated. He was vindicated, but that got so little media attention compared to the public beating he took for something he didn't do. I don't know. Do we say anything bad about it? I'm a big Richard Jewell fan. Yeah, I know you are.

I don't, it was just kind of in passing. John said, when I pointed out that Kanye replaced, replaced John on the speaking, you know, we're all laughing. He's like Richard Jewell. And I don't know what he meant. We all kind of laughed and moved on. Oh yeah. Yeah. Um, but, um, but she's absolutely right. Uh, you know, they made that movie. It's just a funny name. Like, uh, yeah, that is somebody else in Atlanta that, yeah, yeah. And it's a different,

And the joke would be that it's a name that you wouldn't. We're naming big celebrities. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's Richard Jewell. Yeah, I'm a giant Richard Jewell fan. Giant. You watch that movie. It's insane. What's the movie? Richard Jewell. Okay. It's a great movie. It's Atlanta. I love Clint Eastwood. Atlanta Bombing.

And they blamed it on this dude. And this dude tried to save everybody. And that whole media turns against this guy and just ruins this guy's life. Yeah. So I'm a giant Richard Jewell fan. Yeah, the FBI was just throwing it on this dude. I mean, just insane. John Lease. Dusty could be David Cross' younger brother. People always say that. They don't say younger brother, but they always say I look like David Cross in disguise. Yeah.

I like David Cross. I think y'all have different talking points. Yeah, I think so. But nonetheless. Yeah. Very funny in movies, though. Yeah. Arrested Development. Very funny. He's great. Scary Movie 2. Yeah. I need to watch those. Those are pretty good, right? Scary Movie 2 was really good. Yeah. I don't know about the others. Yeah, that'd be a fun one. Grace Pizwara.

Hello, folks. I saw Brass Band in North Charleston with my friend. All right. We had an absolute blast. One of his openers delivered a punchline a little too quickly and the audience didn't react. As we slowly caught on, he started making fun of us and our intelligence, which did make us laugh. But I thought it felt a little like one of those tricks Nate talks about and kind of amateur. I wanted to know y'all's feelings on putting it back on the audience when a joke bombs.

I blame the audience every time. I mean, I agree with her. It is one of those kind of tricks we do when you don't laugh and you try to turn it on them just to get you out of a situation. Yeah, it's never... It's almost always...

It's almost always the sign of a joke didn't work. And then the person's just scrambling, just scrambling to not look terrible. Yeah. And sometimes it works. Sometimes you, you put it back on the crowd and sometimes the crowd buys into it and you're like, you keep, I've never done that, but you see people do it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's, uh,

It's just really what the personality of the comic is. I would never do it. I like to blame myself, actually. Yeah. As it's happening. If you're like a Daniel Tosh, Jezelnik type that has an arrogant...

confident vibe. I feel like that's a fine move. It's a sincere persona. Daniel Tosh does it. I mean, so does Jeslyn too. Daniel Tosh even more so putting it out on the crowd. He does it very, very well. It's very, very funny. It's so...

over the top that you don't feel like you're just like fine being the dumb one yeah so i mean it could be something like that i know a lot of the comics in charleston i wish i knew who that was but i would think that daniel tosh probably would tell a joke that the audience wouldn't catch and then it would be okay to make fun of that yes i think most of the time when it happens that's not the case

It was actually, it was Daniel Tosh. It was. Yeah. Too open for us. Yeah. Incredible. Jessalyn Nick hosted. We figured it out. Yeah. But yeah, most of the time. Yeah. It's a, it probably they've done it that way a million times. They know the joke's not going to work. They go ahead and plan the reaction of making fun of the audience. Yeah. That's what I think. Well, that's, you see stuff like that pop in where you can tell someone has a

it's like they've messed the joke up once and then they got out of it in such a funny way that then it just ends up becoming right. That just stays in there. If the joke works, it messes up your whole thing. I've heard you say, if you ever see that on a special, like you said that if you ever say that on special,

it means that they rehearsed it that way. Yeah. That joke never quite worked. You're like, you want to really make sure that it didn't come from you. You go, this is Nate. Nate said this. I've had that thought. There's people on specials that'll be like, oh, you groaning now or oh, you don't laugh, but this, this and this. I must say, look, you've created an act. So I've created an act.

I'm not a big, I'm a big act person. I go up there and I do my act. And so I'm fine with creating the act. But yeah, you can tell when it's like, all right, like, you know, it can be over the top. Stuff happens and you're going to have a thing that happened really funny. Then you do think, well, maybe I'll try to do it everywhere. But yeah, sometimes you're like.

Just do a joke. Just fix the joke. Well, also it's an opener in Charleston. Maybe they are an amateur so we can cut them some slack. Oh yeah. Yeah. I mean, maybe they're just going to start. I would be. Yeah. I'll hammer it. You know who chooses the comments? Hammer it. The headliner of that show. Uh, and he wanted to put it out there.

I say hammer. Oh, so you know who it was? I do. Oh, I didn't realize that. He asked him to be on the show. He doesn't listen to this podcast. He's going to listen when somebody tells him about this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I mean, I would imagine he, it was in the moment of, you know,

doing it but i mean there might be his act so i don't know no when i when they said i saw a brass band i'm just now connecting the dots yeah he's the b name yeah i thought they saw a brass band in north charleston yeah with a comedian opener so i'm gonna understand now yeah all right uh eric t holman

My wife and I took a week-long honeymoon in Mexico, and when we returned, we started noticing little pictures of Dusty all over our house. Turns out some friends of ours have a tradition of pranking people while they're on their honeymoon. They hit over 400 we're-having-a-good-time pictures in our house. So far, we've found about 150 and find more every day. Wow. That's amazing. That's awesome. I mean, it feels like you'll hate me by the time you're done finding pictures, but I love that. I like that tradition. It is.

Yeah. That's yeah. You love the tradition of people finding pictures of you. Yeah. I like that. These people hit. I also like arenas. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like that'd be a good prank for you to play on people. Yeah. That's awesome. Just leave pictures of myself. Yeah. I like it. I got glitter bomb, but just pictures of me as you're vacuuming it up. You just see me.

It could be funny if you go to someone's house, just always leave a signed headshot and just have it somewhere ridiculous. I like that. See how long it takes. I would do that at comedy condos for a while. And I felt like people were making fun of me for it. And I was like, come on, guys, it's a joke. We're making a joke.

care yeah it's a good bet the problem about yeah the problem about irony is that there's certain people that would would seriously do that yeah they would genuinely do that and you're you're like i'm the ironic headshot yeah next to the guy that's like this is the real headshot yeah that's almost like the last joke you're talking about because there could be people that do it that way the tricks yeah but maybe he's not

So you don't know. If he's not, then there's nothing wrong with you. Yeah, I like to leave a picture behind in hopes that the next comic in the condo is a fan. And they'll be like, oh, this is nice that he left this. I'll take this home with me. Appleton condo or hotel? Hotel. Nice. So I left one there for the maid. Smart. Yeah. Did you really? No. I like that move. I'm into it. I'm into it. Yeah.

Johnny Shakes. I was at a Jerry Seinfeld show in Minneapolis, and he was taking questions from the crowd at the end of the show. Someone asked, who is his favorite comedian right now? And he replied, Nate Bargetze. He also said he wished he was still shooting comedians in cars so he could have Nate on. How about that? Wow. Big time. Nice. Very, very nice. Yeah, I have been talking to Jerry.

So that's big news. All right. Big John. And, uh, you're going to direct this next special. I'm going to direct it on Nate land. Nate land business. We have been texting and talking and, uh, a little bit more and it's pretty crazy. He sent me a very nice, uh, message. He watched my last special and it was, uh, very overwhelming. And, uh, it's obviously the, the, you know, it's, I mean, it's all I've ever wanted was for that dude to, uh,

watch and then, and we just started talking. And, uh, so yeah, it's, it's very nice that he said that, um, he's going to, uh, hopefully I'll see him at, he's might come to radio city one night, I think if he can make it, which, because we have not met in person. That is this weekend. We have not been in person, but we've been talking and that's been,

Uh, yeah, very, very special. That's awesome. It's extra cool. Cause that's your favorite show. You've probably seen more than any, right? I've seen it more than anything. Yeah. He would be my favorite comic. I mean, it's, you know, I mean, I like so many other comments cause once you get into comedy, they're,

You're just like wow I can't believe there's so many comedians that are so good and that's look that's the thing that we're trying to do with the Nate land like is like that's what went on the like when I go on the road and there's you know at Gary Veeder and Joe Zimmerman this weekend with me and it's like that's what this whole show is about to be and is you see a couple other comics make two or three other comics and they go up and you just you know just enjoy

Try to show you some stuff you can enjoy and then you can go watch Joe's special this weekend and have a good time. And, you know, people can get into staying. I want people to get into stand up comedy. Stand up comedy has got to taking a big leap right now. And a lot of people do it. I want people to be able to be able to get into it and not be fearful of

of it just being, I don't know, too heavy or too, not saying everything's going to be right up your alley. You got to go into it and I can't predict how you're going to like everything, but I can control the, you know, just so it's not too dirty or too, you know, I figured that's being done. And so we do it this way. And that's what I, and then, you know, be introduced, you know, younger people can get into it too as well.

Cause I mean the other stuff is dirty. I mean, I have no problem. You know, people do whatever you want to do. My, most of my best friends are the dirtiest comedians. Uh, it's guys I've started with, but you know,

I do this. Brian Regan has a good story about opening for Jerry Seinfeld. I think when in the early nineties, maybe early eighties. Uh, but he, uh, some, some lady was caught waving, waving him at the end of the show, waving for Brian to come over. So he came over like, Oh, cool. Um,

you know, young brand. She hands him some panties and she's like, can you give these to Jerry? And he's like, yeah, yeah, sure. I'll thanks. I'll pass these along. I think you opened for Jerry for a few years. I saw him open for Jerry. Yeah. Really? When was that? How long ago was this? Early 2000s. T-Pack. I saw it too. All right. Mm-hmm.

That's cool. Joe Zimmerman. I like that. I just went through that trying to be not dirty. And then you. Well, did I say, did I say anything dirty? Well, I'm just joking. I mean, not really. And this is the content that I'm saying. It's, it's like this, but it's just funny that it's like, as I say that you go, let me tell you this joke about this lady getting a pair of panties. You can buy panties at a family store. I didn't know that was, that was dirty.

But you understand the dirtiness of the fact of the handing. I don't know. Innocent to me. Yeah. I apologize. I'm sorry that I offended everybody. Yeah, because Joe's all right. And we're back. Joe's gone. No, no. I just like the timing of it. I thought it was funny. Perfect timing. The timing. He goes, oh, I got a great Brian Reagan Seinfeld.

This girl brought her underwear and gave it to Brian. I just went on a long. I'm going to tell you what we won't stand for. Cheap shots. Joe, go ahead. I got a lot more where that came from. And Nate supports it. Yeah.

Phillip Lawson, this is super random, but I searched all four of you on Tennessee unclaimed property and Brian's name is the only one that got results. Just thought I'd let him know he might have money to claim. Amazed it wasn't Aaron like the grill Weber. Yeah. So I looked into this. He sent this a few, two, three months ago and I went on this website, Tennessee unclaimed property, and I had a quite a bit of money there waiting for me.

So about 15 years ago, how much I'm about to tell the story, uh, about 15 years ago or so, Mark, my company, I should have started by saying so much. It was $4,000. Okay. That's a lot. It is a lot. Yeah. Uh,

But it's not. Life-changing? Yeah. Guys, this is the last time you'll ever see me. He's got a gold necklace on right now, and he's got a Rolex, and he's just sitting there. We haven't noticed. He goes, oh, yeah, I guess you did come into some money. I mean, I'd love to find four grand. But yeah, it is kind of the wrong setup. Yeah. Like 3.5 million. Yeah. Life-changing money. Anyway, about 15 years ago or so,

our, the company I work for sold to another company. And so our benefits somehow rolled over into this other thing where you could either roll it into a 401k or you could get some type of annuity where you get $70 a month or something like that. Now, dumb me thought, Oh, I want to go full-time and stand up comedy. So that's $70 a month I could really use. Well, somewhere along the way I moved and

The paperwork got messed up and that money, I just never knew what happened to it. And I was so dumb. I couldn't even figure out what happened to it. I just like, I don't know. And every month it was going to my old address and for like five years, six years or whatever. So I went online, uh,

Put in a claim for it. They don't easily just give you the money. You got to show a lot of proof. But then they mailed me a check for $4,000. Wow. Thanks to Philip Lawson. Wow. Philip Lawson. Coming through. What a dude. I wonder if that's one of the most things...

Someone listening has done for a podcast, like directly for the, not besides you listening, but straight up, you just gave me, you gave Brian $4,000. Yeah. Phillip, if you want to come to one of my shows, I'll get you in half price. Yeah. Why don't you do a cash only Phillip? South Carolina, Alabama search for me.

Because I've lived there too. Maybe I have unclaimed money there somehow. Those are your rough days though. Yeah, that is true. You owe money there. Maybe he doesn't need to go. That's true. Dusty Slay owes this much. Yeah. He might wake a giant, sleeping giant there. That is true. Like me with SoundExchange. Yeah. Oh, yeah. First SoundExchange you got. I complained about not getting enough and they did rent some...

paperwork turns out I owed them money. How is that possible? Because there was another Brian Bates who was a musician and they'd been sitting me his money. That's incredible. So all my friends are like getting this amount. And I was like, I don't think I'm getting enough. And I,

Complaining to them about it. And they did write a check. And they're like, actually, you've been getting too much. Wow. You owe us. Yeah. That's amazing. It was. That's a harsh blow. It was perfect. That's a tough blow. It was when it happened. It was truly perfect. Because I think you did get. I thought you finally did get something.

And then are some, I was getting it a little bit, but obviously I was getting too much. Yeah. I like the idea that the letter might be worded. Like we did some research and turns out we did find some issues with how you're getting paid and you're reading it like, yes, yes. Yeah. I love that. Joe did, uh, had some stuff. Can you talk about it and all that? No, not allowed to yet. Yeah. Okay.

Oh, cliffhanger. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm trying to think what I can talk about. Just in general. We got more stuff. But you search for some stuff and basically kind of did an unclaimed property kind of thing. But for a lot of comedians. Yeah. Got some got some got some money coming to a lot of different comedians. Yeah. Very nice thing. Yeah. It's all I can say. But it is very, very, very nice. Luke Middleton.

Hello from Maine. I saw the latest three upcoming shows in Portland, Maine, with not one but two in the same evening. I have three. Well, I'm sure both shows will be great. If you guys were going to see your favorite comedian, you had the choice between the first and the second. Which would you choose to go to and why? I mean, that's really up to you. Honestly, my shows, I mean, everybody's just...

Very nice. And so they end up being great shows. It's not like you can say, well, the first one I'm going to do this and the second one I'm not. There could be any reasons you could have one. Because, I mean, there's times you think, all right, well, you know, the first one's first and maybe it's earlier and it's going to be, the energy is going to be a little bit lower or whatever reason. And then that is the best show. And then the second show can be,

well, they're going to be fired up and it's going to be amazing. And then it's like, that one could not be, but I mean, overall, fortunately where, when you get into these bigger places, uh,

The shows all end up being the same. I would say if you were going to comedy club, a lot of times it's better to go to the earlier show because the one that can be later can end up being a little drunker. And it's also the person you're going to see where the crowd could be a little more rowdy or a little drunker, a little more problems. Yeah, there's really no way to know because I find even at those shows for me where the crowd might be a little more rowdy, that can be the more interesting shows.

You might get my best jokes and my best act in the early show, but the late show, you're going to get weirder stuff where things just happen and the more in the moment stuff is funny. Yes.

The early show, you can get on in there and get your seat. You don't have to wait outside for the first show. Yeah, that's the thing. Although more traffic on the early show. But on the first show, comics got to keep it to a certain time because there is a second show where the second show he could go a little longer. That's true. Nate does 58 minutes every show. I don't do. I do my act. By the book. Like 60 minute show.

Yes, that's what I do. But I mean, yeah, all the shows. I mean, all the shows are great. I don't think I don't think for a Nate show that the time is better because you did a 3 p.m. in Salt Lake City. That was just as good. 3 p.m. 3 p.m. Just as good. But yeah, Salt Lake City is great. I love it there. It is. You want to tell us about Delete Me? Delete Me. Guys, we're excited to tell you about our new sponsor, Delete Me.

You know, they're going to figure it out where they don't do a mom and a son, but they do a aunt and a, you know. They're calling on the grandparents. Yeah. Yeah. With a grandson needing help. Yeah. That's so, man, it's insane. That's insane stuff.

This week. This week. Well, Monday is Columbus Day. If you guys knew that or not. So I thought, let's talk about some explorers. All right. Love that. You guys know anything about Christopher Columbus or any other? The ocean blue. Yeah. 1492. Right. Yeah. But I want to. Pretty problematic. Pretty problematic. If you ask me. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Columbus was. Yeah. Yeah. We grew up believing that he discovered America and now we're everybody says we should hate him. So I'm conflicted on him. Well, he was trying to find India, right? Mm hmm. I mean, he kind of missed. Mm hmm. Big mess. Yeah. He wasn't trying to discover a new country. He was trying to find a Western trade route to India because. Yeah. But I mean, this is what are you going to do?

It's a better, it's a better. I don't know why. Yeah. So why are people mad? I'm just sharing facts about it. I'm not saying right or wrong. Yeah. You're just talking about because native Americans, right? No, I was just, I was just trying to chime in. I'm sorry. But yeah, no, he's got a lot. He's getting a lot of guff. He's getting a lot of guff for Columbus day. And now it's what indigenous people's day. That's what you meant though, right? About problematic. Yes. Yes. Okay. Cause you do. Did you discover America or did people discover it 5,000 years earlier? Yeah. That's all.

Yes. Also Vikings apparently got here. Yeah. Joe, you're killing all my notes here. Can you just back off a little? I'll back off. I'll back off. I mean, we're done basically. Yeah. That was it. That's all I knew. That's the only Explorer I knew. So I was like, I got to get it. So this week I'll be at, uh, yeah. I know nothing about any explorers. I'm sorry.

Well, you're right. Leif Erikson, the Viking, I guess, explorer. Leif. Yeah, Leif Erikson. That's not a bad first name. Yeah, I like it. I could see that coming back. You know, they got, yeah. I mean, I feel like, what was there? There was a Leif something that played football somewhere, right? No, Ryan Leif. But there was a Leif. Isn't there an actor or something named Leif? Leif Garrett? Maybe. Leif Garrett sounds familiar. Levi Garrett is chewing tobacco.

Yeah. There's River Phoenix. Okay. Yeah. We're getting somewhere now. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Yeah. All the great explorers. I think you're right. Leaf is, I like Leaf. Yeah, that's a good name. I like that too. Leaf Erickson is the Viking. Leaf, you need to leave. I bet that's hard though.

If you're a leaf and just constantly getting asked to leave. Yeah. Or maybe they're like, please stay. You're like, I got to leave. Leaf's got to leave. Leaf's got to leave. Leaf don't leave. Please, Leaf. They just say that because they know you're asking him to leave. Yeah. There's no... Leaf hates the autumn. Do you know Leaf's father's name? Tree. Tree.

That's a good guess. But from our names episode, could you guess what Leaf's father's name would be? Ground. Oak. Dirt.

Do you remember his last name? Erickson. Erickson. Oh, Erick. Oh, it's Erick's son. Yeah. Yes. Whoa. What was Erick's last name? Son. His dad's name was Son. Yeah. So it just keeps going. Okay. Interesting. And then his dad's name was just an S. And then it was just, they yelled at each other. Wow. And the noises. Interesting. Yeah. I like that history. Well, he did. They think he- Zimmerman. Like you're-

Zimmer would have been your dad's name is Zimmer, correct? And then he was a man. He was a man. And that's how you got to Joe. Incredible. Incredible. Bargatze, your dad's name is Barge. Barge. Because his grandpa drove a tugboat. Ours stands for like the barkeeper. Barkeeper.

His name comes from that. We were the first house at the gate. Yeah, Bargate or something. Bargate. We were the first trying to kind of be there like, you can't come in. And then they asked us to leave. The original gatekeepers. The original gatekeepers of... Oh, not like... Now a bit of a gatekeeper itself of the Nate Land Company. We didn't own it. Not like slinging beers when you said barkeep. No, it's like... It was that... I think we just were... I don't... It's not come... It doesn't come from...

We're just the ones that get shot first when the people come in the gate. But we're there to... We live the closest to the gate. And it's kind of like... Barely in the town. We're barely in the town. Oh, I get it. You're the front lines. Front lines. And they're fine with just...

Moving those lines back. And then now we're, now we're the first outside the gate. Yeah. Go ahead. Take a step. Yeah. We're near the gate. Outgates it. Yeah. Outgates it. Yeah. Outgates it. Yeah. We're always, but we're near that gate. We don't get far from the gate. In or out. Well, anyway, Leif Erikson's day is also October 9th, which I think is this coming Monday. It didn't get mentioned as much as Columbus Day, but. I wonder why.

Not as cool a ring to it, I think. Not a lot of cities named after Leif Erikson. Not many Vikings left either. Yeah, you got a lot of Columbuses. I'm afraid to ask what sleigh meant, by the way. I mean, I think we were... You were the one charging the gates. Yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's true. But yes, Columbus. So he...

to get from Europe to India or China, you had to go all the way down around Africa. So they said, let's start going East. Let's see if we go West and see if we could get there quicker. And they didn't realize how big the world was. So he sailed and it took him like six years to convince somebody to let him even do it, to fund it. He finally convinced Spain. He was from Italy, but Spain funded him. And then. And how you get that money?

From the king and queen. I know. You got to go get it from Spain. Was he in Spain? Yeah. I think he went to a few countries and hit them up. Angel investors. Angel investors. But I mean, back then you got to go, how do you even ask Spain for the money? Like you got to take a, what, a four year boat ride? Yeah. And go to Spain. And what did Spain get in return?

Well, they got the land. I mean, that was what land? Did they? Oh, oh, oh, South America. They got Spain. Yeah. Well, they got Mexico and yeah, but Columbus got to America and the English got America. So it sounds like it didn't work. Right.

Well, he didn't even make it to the mainland. We're trying to... Bates was back. He was alive during this time. Go ahead, Brian. I'm trying to remember from watching the news. Yeah. He just got to where Haiti is and the Bahamas and El Salvador and places like that. And he thought, again, it was India. So he called it... That's why they're called Indians because he thought he arrived in India. He never ever knew...

that he found a new world. He never knew that? I don't think so. Did he get killed? Yeah. Did he get killed? Or he died? No, I guess he just died. Yeah. I don't guess he got killed. I didn't know. I mean, I know he's not alive today. Yeah, yeah. So many explorers got killed by Native Americans. I forgot. I think he maybe just died. He didn't get killed by Native Americans. Yeah. At first I thought he did because Magellan did. I'm getting confused. He was just trying to make a map.

He was just trying to find a spice tray to the West Indies. Do you know what continents named after a person? Yeah. Oh, Asia. I do. I think America named after Amerigo Vespucci. Yeah. Very good. Joe is killing it. Joe went to college. His dad's a professor. Is that true? Yeah.

I did go to college. It's true. Your dad's a professor? Yeah. Of history? He teaches writing. Yeah. English. Yeah, it's old money. Yeah. A lot of money. Deep pockets. A lot of money. Professor at James Madison University. That's where the money is. Yeah. That's where the money is. It's a fun school. It's a smart school. My grandpa was a professor as well. Yeah. So, yeah. Of writing? Engineering. But he lived in India, so it comes all full circle. Are they disappointed with the route you've taken?

Because you went west, like Columbus. No, my dad would have been, no, my dad's happy. He would have been supportive of whatever I did. Yeah. Sweet dad. Good dad. And you still write. I do love to write. So I did inherit that from him. It only took him 10 weeks. Not as long as you might think. I mean, it's a long time. To get from where? From Europe to America or to the Bahamas. Yeah. I mean, I would have thought it would have been many months. Yeah.

I mean, that's two months. That's two and a half months. Yeah. That's not bad, though. It's not crazy, but it's like, are you sure you want to do this? Yeah. But I mean, so he goes over there, asks for the money, and he's like, I need, you know, they're like, let me think about it. He's like, why does he got to live here until they... On a climate-friendly ship. Three ships. Yeah. Do you know the names of the ships? The Nina, the Pita, the Santa Maria? Man, you guys are pros. Yeah. Was that Columbus's ships? That was Columbus. Okay. Yeah.

What was the Mayflower? The Mayflower is the Mayflower. No, no, but when did they come? 60s. Before I forget, Nate had a pretty good America joke in Australia that I haven't heard you keep doing. Pretty solid. What was it? In Australia, you say, I'm from America. Oh, yeah, I need to do that. That's a good joke. Yeah. When you tell someone...

It's funny to say America, because when you go to another country and they go, where are you from? I go, I'm from America. And it just sounds so aggressive. But you don't, I don't know what to say. And they say the States and something. I'm from the States. And so that is a little bit easier. But it was like, I just liked walking around going there. They're like, where are you from? America. And then you say...

You tagged it up. And you're like, you know which one I'm talking about. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yes. Oh, yeah. That is a good joke. I'm from America. They don't ever go, which one? They know. Yeah. Yeah. North or south? Yeah. No one from South America goes, I'm from America. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. And Canada doesn't do it either. They're from North America. Yeah. No, we make them do their, but we're the ones that go, you know what's up. Yeah. You know where I'm from.

Yeah, we took the whole thing. There's North America, South America, but we're like, we're the United States of America. Yeah. Technically a Peruvian guy is from America. Chilean guy. He knows how to bring the fun out of it. That's what Joe does. I was like, I don't know what you're saying. He's a squasher of a good time. Go ahead, Joe. Bring it back down. A guy from Peru. That's all I'm saying.

It's a country. You were like, technically, a Peruvian guy is from America. And I'm like, what does that mean? Is Peru in America? Is Peru a state? Peru is in South America, right next to Brazil.

Oh, that's what we named it after. American. The guy we named it after America Stevenson. America Vespucci. America's Vespucci. I like that though. America Stevenson. I like that. His dad's name was Steven. Yeah. Yeah. Who's your son? My son's America. He's the one they named it. Yeah. Oh.

I don't think any of you knew Peru is a country. Well, the way you said it, you're like a Peruvian guy is from America. And I'm like, I don't know what he's saying. I was trying to follow the same point y'all were making. Yeah, but don't bring your college stuff in here. Too much. Yeah, too much knowledge. That's a good point.

He went to MTSU, but that was in the 70s. We had Discover Peru. Yeah. He hasn't learned about Vegas in history. MTSU? Yeah. Montana State University? Yeah, that's where he went. He looks like a guy that travels a lot, Brian. That would move that far from his home.

Middle Tennessee State. Oh, good college. We played them in college golf. Nice. Nice work. Thank you. Thank you. Well, anyway, it was named after a merry-go-round of S.P.C. instead of Columbus because Columbus didn't know what he discovered. And this guy was the first one that realized this isn't India. And then there was a mapmaker who was, they're called cartographers, I think.

And he made a map and he wrote where that land was, America. And from then on, it was called America. I love that Columbus just got some cities. He's credited with discovering the whole thing and he just got some cities in Georgia and Ohio. Yeah. Probably some more. Yeah. Columbus, Ohio is very known. I like it a lot. Solid city. When the map people...

But they would just like kind of be drawing it as it goes. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I don't believe the map, people. Yeah, I don't. I don't believe that you're able to be like, no, this is how it looks. Yeah. Even now. That's a good conspiracy. I was about to say, it's amazing how well they do, but you're making a point, well, they don't. They're just like, yeah, this is the shape of it. And we go, well, we don't have a, we can't show you're wrong, so. But doesn't satellite image show that it's that? Well, yeah. Oh, yeah.

But airplanes could fly over. Yeah, but how high? Can you look down on Florida from way up and be like, oh, that's the shape? Yeah. I think when you drive down Florida, it feels like that shape. It does feel like it. Yeah. I think there's also professionals that surveil stuff. They have those little surveil things. Surveyors? Survey. Thank you. Do you not know how to say that word? And they use those little triangle things to figure out all the lines, but I don't know how they do it. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, I think it's amazing they figure out how to do it. But a map guy a long time ago, what's he doing? I mean, I guess they come back with information and he just takes what he's learned and puts it. He's just in a boat, just rides along the land.

And he just goes and holds a straight line. And then he's like, dip, back up. I mean, it's just a slow. Drawing a map back then, I mean, that is some real work. You're just measuring along the whole way. I bet when you're doing it back then, you also know no one knows. That's true. And so you're just doing a little like preload.

Probably. I want to go to lunch. I'll do this in five minutes. You could probably find some old maps that were very phoned in. Well, they were. The one that has America first written on it. You can see an image of it. I mean, they weren't even close to what it looked like. But yeah. Just a circle. I'm just guessing. I would just do a circle. He goes, wow, it's circular? He goes, yeah. Whip around it. He goes, you know, give or take, but...

Just do a couple, like draw like a Pac-Man. Yeah, basically it's all, everything's a circle. Yeah. There's some stuff off of it. Dude, draw a Pac-Man. Yeah. Then you'd be like, wow. So it's like an island. It's a big island. Turtle Island. That's what some people say the earth is. Turtle Island. I think so. The old, old, old stuff they would call, what do they call it? No, it's called America Turtle Island.

What does that mean? Yeah, what does that mean? I don't know. Have you not heard that? No. I'm guessing not, right? I don't know if we look at the same internet. Well, let's see. Yeah, Turtle Island, indigenous North America folklore. Hmm. Huh. That's just what they called it. Yeah, Turtle Island is a name for Earth or North America used by some indigenous peoples. Yeah, but why? We got to get the next sentence. Oh, okay. Well, I usually just do headlines. Yeah.

I think we read enough, Joe. Well, anyway. I mean, I think it fits in with what we're talking about here. I mean. Because we look like a turtle. Yeah. Turtle. Yeah. I mean, yeah, you can look it up on your own time, really. But. Yeah. But I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't crazy here. And I did hear that. Yeah. Turtle Island. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think this is pretty amazing, too. In 1503.

He got Columbus and his men got stranded in Jamaica and the natives refused to after a while to keep feeding them and helping them out. Columbus had a book of astronomy that showed when the next eclipse was about to be. It was about to happen. So he told them that his God was mad at them for not helping him and the moon was going to get blacked out.

And then, of course, the eclipse happened and they all freaked out. And they're like, here, take whatever you want. Just don't. Wow. He said that to. To the Jamaicans. Yeah. Or whatever they were called then. That's a power move. Was he a Taurus? I wonder. That's a low blow. But it's amazing. Even 1500s, they knew when the eclipse was going to happen. I'm amazed they figured out how to communicate different languages to each other.

I learned that when the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, one of the first Native Americans that greeted them, greeted them in English. You know what? May 20th. He is a Taurus. Oh, really? Oh, no. That's when he died. Isn't that crazy? That's crazy. And asked for a beer. Wow. That is... Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. That's amazing. Yeah. How would they even...

I guess there's like culture, you know. Well, the pilgrims came over in like the 1600s. He was born. They don't even know when he was born. Yeah, roundabout. Roundabout, August 25th and October 31st. Imagine, they know his day he died, but. Well, he was popular then. Yeah, at 54. But when they go to his, well, when were you born? And they're like, I don't know, we'll give you like a month. Yeah. Like we don't know exactly.

Yeah. Maybe they didn't do birthdays. I appreciate them being honest. Who? Wikipedia? Yeah. Yeah, that's nice of them. I mean, it was a long time ago. We talked about this before. They thought mermaids were real, and Columbus thought he'd saw some, but they were actually manatees. Mm-hmm.

So, yeah. Yeah. There is conspiracy around that. Yeah. I call them sirens, you know, like where the people at sea for so long would think that they would see these women in the water, these really attractive women, and they would like be calling to them. So men would dive overboard to go and then they would just eat them up. Yeah. They had to tie them to a pole or whatever to keep them from jumping in. Yeah. Manatees. Well, whatever it was in there. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, like they were just losing their mind out on the ocean. Yeah. Yeah. I could see that. I mean, two and a half months of just, you know, I mean, just a brutal. Whales make some crazy sounds. I just learned that they used to think whale clicking and the whale songs were ghosts. They were super freaked out by whales. I can see that. Yeah.

underneath. Do you hear them above water? Yeah, apparently they're making sounds way below. And there's one, I think it's a sperm whale, does a clicking. But then the other whales, you know, they do their songs. And they didn't know those were whales. They thought it was ghosts in the sea.

I mean, imagine being on a ship with no engine. It's all wind. Yeah. The middle of the night, just darkness all around. Oh, man, that'd be terrifying. Yeah. And you hear everything. Like in Castaway, Tom Hanks was out at sea and there was a whale making...

Oh, okay. I've not seen it in a long time. Well, their whale comes up and breathes. But it was making sounds, and then eventually he thinks it's still the whale. The movie makes you think it's still the whale, but it was a ship that was blowing a horn. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, the ocean. It kind of blew that whole. No one's ever watched Castaway. Oh, yeah. Great movie. Volleyball. Yeah. You just told the main thing. Good volleyball movie. Yeah, that is the main thing. That is the main thing.

I wasn't listening, so I'm still good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ponce de Leon. I hope I'm saying that right. He was searching for the fountain of youth. He was told there was a fountain that if you could find, you could dip in it and be young, I guess, forever. And he thought it was in Florida. That's where you go to be old forever. Am I right? Yeah. Oh. Oh. I gotcha. I gotcha. We do fist bumps around here, Joe. Yeah.

I'm learning. Yeah. That's good. So he searched all over Florida, supposedly in St. Augustine, Florida. That's where they say it is now. Yeah. People still go there now. Well, in St. Augustine, they have a fountain of youth archaeological park. And they say because they think that's where the legend is that it was at. But no one's ever found it. Did you ever see the movie Cocoon? No.

You remember that? Yeah. No, I do remember the movie. I've not seen it. Oh, that's about, you know, they have these alien pods and they put them in the swimming pool and it's at a retirement home. And when the old people swim in the pool, it makes them young again. They're starting to like, not physically young, but they start to be vibrant. It's a great movie.

Yeah. I don't want to give it away, but it's a good movie. I'm going to go watch that. I'm going to go watch that tonight. That was like a famous. Yeah. Wilford Brimley's in it. That was his big movie. Yeah. And I've talked about the Wilford Brimley cocoon line, which is he was much younger in that movie than he actually looked. Oh yeah. And now there's a whole thing where to see if you've crossed it. I think I'm the only one at this table that's crossed it, but you're not far from it. What was it?

He was like 49 or whatever when he made that movie or something. Maybe not that young, but he was a lot younger than you would think playing an old man in the movie. So now every time, it started off with celebrities, but anybody that crosses the Wilford Brimley cocoon line, you can go on there. He was 50 years old in Cocoon, and he looked like this. He looked like that? Yeah. Wow. But he looked like that.

20 years later too. Yeah. How did he look like that? A lot of sun, a lot of smoking.

I think he had diabetes. He's famous for saying it like that, diabetes. Diabetes. There's a commercial that I found the other day. Yeah, I got the diabetes. It's the same commercial. One guy's saying diabetes, he's saying diabetes. Same commercial. Diabetes. That's good. That diabetes sounds like it's unfortunate you got it. You got bit by something. Mm-hmm.

Diabetes sounds, you know. Yeah. I worry about that stuff, but. Oh, all right. He died. Yeah, just recently. Oh, really? I mean, the last couple of years. Yeah. But you know what I do?

ZocDoc. Oh, yeah. You can now find and book in-person or telemedicine appointments for medical or dental care. That's helpful for people. Nate Land Podcast is brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

I think he was trying to convert them to Christianity and they didn't like it. They got in a fight and killed him. Most of his men did not make it. Sounds like a hoax to me. 18 of them made it.

Well, I don't know. But he made it, I mean, the Straits of Magellan, which in South America, you can go through the separates Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean named after him. He named the Pacific Ocean. He called it Pacifico, which means peaceful. Hmm.

I'm going to change his mind after the way it ended. But can you imagine selling all the way around the world and then finally making it and your friends are still looking the other way for you and then you come back around and surprise them? I mean, that's a pretty amazing thing. Wait, that's what he did? Well, his people went all the way around the world. Yeah. So they started going one way and then came around the other way. Yeah. It's just, just think about it.

They've never done that before. Just, you don't even know for sure. So Magellan was trying to do that. Yeah. And then he didn't make it. He almost got all the way, but his man, his crew did. Some of them did make it. Yeah. First, first crew. Yeah. They left New York and then came back to California. Uh, like that. Essentially. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Not here, I'm saying, but that's what I'm doing. I'm from America. So I'm using my, I'm using America. Like you left New York and went like East and then come back around and stop. If you went to go travel the world, you would get a boat from New York and then you would land back in California and you go in a circle.

Okay. Yeah. Is that not the same thing? Yeah. I mean, he went the other direction, but, and stop, I think he got right back to the stop to the city he started in, but, but yeah. Well, that would be, I feel like. You live in a real thin country. Yeah. I know he's coming in from the other way. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if you lived, if you go, you know, if you were a real dead end left, right. All right. He's leaving left and then he comes in right.

To the same city. Dusty has a flat earther. How do you feel about it? Well, I never claim that. I talk about things, and people make assumptions about me, but I never claim that. But all it is is there's magnetic north, and then you just travel east, and you just go, you make your way in a circle. If you believe that sort of thing, you would just make your way around in a circle. So you're still going east because there's magnetic north in the center.

So north would still be towards the center. And then you would just go east. You would follow your compass, as you guys say. It says compass. You would follow that east and it would take you in a complete circle. So you've heard about it. But so if it's flat, then what do those people believe all the other planets are? Well, they're stars. They're wandering stars because space is not real. Okay.

Hypothetic. But how do you believe it's not real if you're looking at it? Well, you just look up at a canopy of stars. You're not.

Yeah. Movies has made you believe that there's space out there. No, I can see it though. You can see a sheet with lights coming. You believe that you could soar through there in a, in a spaceship and ships have soared through there. They, as so-called. Yeah. I mean, I mean, have you seen moon landing footage? I mean, come on. Yeah.

Well, I've seen Mars landing footage and Voyager sailing out to the outer edges of our solar system. There's footage of that. Well, there's stuff out there. I'll give you that. There is some stuff out there. And it is believable. I get it. I mean, it is hard to look at it and go. But I'm not saying I believe those things. I'm just saying I'm taking a point of view here. Yeah. Just trying to have fun. Yeah.

I'm not, people love to say, "I believe the earth is flat." I'm just saying, "Hey, I'm just pointing out some stuff." That's- But hypothetically, if you believe it is maybe what you would say. Yeah. I mean, well, that would be the explanation for traveling circle. And then as far as space goes, it's like, people always say, "Find me something of space that's not from NASA."

You know, and it's like, well, you'd have to go to the Asia astronauts or the Russian astronauts. Yeah. So, you know, you trust who you want to trust. You know what I mean? If you trust Russia, I mean, that's on you. You know what I mean? Well, I trust NASA.

Yeah. Which is not Russia. Right. But it's like, why don't they let us just explore space on our own? Because we don't have the means. Well, I don't mean me and you, but there's people that do. Well, yeah. And Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk. Yeah, but Jeff Bezos launched a ship and it went real high.

And then it came down and they got out and everybody went, oh, you did it. But they didn't really. These are the new explorers. Yeah. Modern day explorers. And they're trying. You know what I mean? They're putting good, good effort out there. You can only go as high as the net will let you. Richard Branson's the third one, right? They're building spaceships. Yeah. And I hope they do it. I really do. You know, but, you know, we already have. We all know that.

This is just a bit. Yeah. Okay. We're just having a good time here. Yeah. I'm having a great time. Did you guys know they just discovered an eighth continent? Really? This just happened. Wow. So there was a guy named Abel Tasman. He was a Dutch explorer and he discovered New Zealand and Tasmania. Tasmania was named after him. Um,

and he had heard about this continent that was an eighth continent was down there and he traveled there and all you could find was the islands of New Zealand and Tasmania. Turns out it was all 95% of it was underwater and they just found recently like, uh, that the, this continent's underwater. It's called Zealandia. Oh, next to Australia. And, um, does it count? It counts. Does it count if it's underwater? I don't know if, uh, I think the whole point of a continent is above water. That's just my, is this Atlantis?

Well, some people think it may be what they thought was Atlantis. Oh, that's exciting. But New Zealand is about the only part that's actually sticking out from underwater. But they just mapped this recently. And so I don't know if it's going to go in the...

Textbooks is an eighth continent, but... Oh, so if you've been in New Zealand, does that count as a new continent? I guess it does. Congratulations, guys. We did two continents. We did two continents. Nice work. I wish we could have... We've been to the eighth continent. Whoa, not many people can say that. No, no. Not many people even know about it. That's big time. I think we should have voted on the name of this, though. Zealandia? Yeah, I don't like that. That's not a fun continent name. Hmm.

Is it from New Zealand? Yeah. It could grow on me. Well, imagine if you're New Zealand and then now it's like everybody's just talking about Zealandia and you're like, all right, dude, we were, we're actually living here. Yeah. We've been here the whole time. New Zealand, you are out there. When you, when you're there, it feels like you're in a different world. See, this is what I'm saying. Let's put our energy into this. Let's build underwater city on top of Zealandia.

Oh, okay. On top of this land. That's what I'm all about. Which country gets to build it? I would think New Zealand. Yeah. We'll get some funding from around the world. An underwater city. Yeah. Yeah.

Instead of going to space. Yes. Let's explore the ocean. I agree. We should be living in the ocean before we should be living in space. You're saying that, you know, you saw him land on Mars, but yet we can't even explore all the oceans. Yeah. It's like, let's dig around our own home here before trying to venture out. Yeah. Elon Musk should be putting his money into the bottom of the ocean. Yeah. Richard Branson. Like, let's see what's going on down there. Because no matter what, we're scared of our land falling apart, but the water...

Right. They're also afraid of the water falling apart. Where's it going to go? They're afraid of the water being polluted. Yeah, but you're... Full of plastic, right? Yeah, but you're not swimming in the water. You would be in a... A little tube. Dome. Yeah. I like that. You'd be in a tube. Yeah. So it doesn't really matter. Now, somebody arguing against you could be like, why not just do a dome above ground?

Well, that's fine, but that, you know, you're not creating new land. Oh, new land. I like this. Okay. I'm on board. New land. Yeah. Yeah. And you just go and walk around. Maybe we have a suit on. Yeah. I like it. You just build a, yeah, you just build pressurized. How would you eat?

well i bet you could grow grow grow yeah yeah yeah you grow and you build a world down there door dash and then the whole world is underwater yeah eventually so the way we started going above water then we just started heading yeah like if you're born in one of the underwater cities and you're like you drink you're like the little mermaid you dream of one day going on land yeah well that was like kevin costner's movie right water world

A little bit, but I like that movie. Okay. Yeah. People seem to hate it. I liked it. I liked that movie way better than it got like a 30% on rotten tomatoes. And I thought it was at least a 74. Yeah. I didn't like that. He had like gills behind his ears or whatever, but, uh, well, they would like to, yeah. You would like adapt to that. Yeah. Yeah. You're going to need some AG one. That is true.

Our next partner is AG1. All of us are trying to take AG1 every day. We all gave AG1 a try because we wanted increased energy and immune system support for our busy lifestyles. We 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 in water once a day than to take a bunch of different things. It is the health...

Yeah. Why don't we just throw our trash and we've all said that. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. But you could argue, let's just keep doing it in the ocean and then let's move to space. Right. If we're already doing so much in the ocean already. Yeah. And it's like, let's just go to space and we just keep dumping it. Space is a much bigger ocean. Yeah. I guess it's just how much energy it takes to get the trash. It's kind of the same thing. Can't breathe. Yeah. Float.

Yeah. There's no life up there as far as well, as far as we know. I mean, some people, crazy people even think that when they film space things, it's happening underwater because the conditions are so similar. Obviously these people are nuts, but it is similar in that's how they will practice for space underwater. Yeah. And that is true. They will practice underwater because you, you know, it's, you know, not a lot of gravity can't breathe.

Yeah. So you gotta, yeah, we always, we should do. I watched, I started watching the Meg too. Hey,

That movie's huge in Asia. Yeah. The biggest movie in Asia. You and I saw the first one together. Oh, I loved it. Is it good? Yeah, it's just fun. Your complaint about the first one was the whale or shark wasn't big enough. I think it could have been bigger. I think they can always be bigger. I think I heard that movie was funded by the Chinese government.

Meg? Yeah. I could see that for sure. Yeah, that's why they were pushing it so hard. Oh, you can totally see that. The second one probably too. I like that you say that. You started the second one. Like it's like an epic adventure. Yeah, I haven't gotten through it. I did half and then I was tired. But it's, yeah, it's fun. It's like a modern day Jaws. I mean, extreme version. Yeah. You know, we watched Jaws recently and that's like a,

It's the extreme version. It's just a big shark. It's just fun to think about those. Is this Jason Statham? Yeah. In those movies? Yeah. And he fights him and gets his family back. Oh, I love that. I like Jason Statham so much. He's the best. He does it. He just fights him and kicks the sharks. Does he kick the sharks with his foot? Maybe. I would think so. I think so.

It's almost a waste if Jason Statham's not kicking. That's so perfect. I watched one movie with Jason Statham that wasn't... I was hoping it'd be the kicking and it wasn't. And that was a tough one. The movie Snatch, he was in that as not a fighting role. Yeah. And that movie was about fighting. Yeah. But he was good in that. He was great in it. Yeah. But another one, it was...

Yeah, you just want him to be... He's just super fun. Is that the one where Brad Pitt was the fighter? Yeah. Oh, that was my favorite Brad Pitt movie. It's such a good movie. How's Liam Neeson, Brad Pitt's great? Yeah. How's Liam Neeson? He still does those fighting scenes. Yeah. You can do them. It's pretty crazy. You can do them late. Like even the Equalizer 3 is out. Oh, did you see how old is Liam Neeson? Yeah. 71. It's time for him to pass the torch though. Who's the next great actor that's going to turn action? So I was...

That what needs to be... There are some good guys, but they need to click...

Matt Damon with The Bourne. He can be. But I just don't know if they want to do it. When did he start being an action star like that? I think it was Taken or Batman. It was after Love Actually, 2001. The first Batman. Batman Begins. All the information. Oh, Star Wars too. The first one of the Star Wars prequels. He was a bit of an action guy. So Taken was the first. Taken was what? So how old was he when he did Taken? He was probably 50.

If it was around 2005, then he'd be 53. Yeah, 56. So you were wrong, Joe. We invented his career as an action star. I could still be an action star. Because I was in Sprung, but I didn't really... Yes. You played a guy that would be an action because you were a serial killer. So, yeah. If Greg does a spinoff... Have you done any stage fighting classes?

No, no, but I still could. I mean, yeah, not too late. I don't think Bates is not one that you're going to really know he's behind it, but he's behind it. Like the usual suspects. I'm going to be the guy at the end. Oh yeah. Kaiser Sosa. Yeah. Yeah.

He's the Kaiser Sosa. He's the true brains behind this podcast and Nate Lang. That's a given. Yeah. He is. He's the one that puts all this together. Well, that'd be cool if you turn out to be the real brains behind it. Liam Neeson, though. He is. I mean, he puts all this stuff together. Liam Neeson. Yeah, I'm the talent. Yeah. I'd never heard of Liam Neeson until Schindler's List.

And he must have been in his 40s then. Yeah, I think he was like a great stage actor in his 20s and 30s. It's weird to discover Liam Neeson and Taken and then go watch the movie Love Actually. I'm like, what's going on here? You know what I mean? Just crying with a little boy. Yeah, I'm like, what, what?

Yeah, I don't know if I could do that. His scene in that Ricky Gervais Steve Merchant show where he wants to become a comedian. Oh, so great. The improv scene? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's great.

I don't know. I don't know. You got to watch it. Yeah. Yeah. It's very funny. Well, anyways, there's some, I mean, they are searching the sea. There's people, James Cameron's doing a lot of stuff to down there. That one thing went real bad for those guys. Yeah. They went down, uh, Meg and Meg too. They're searching the bottom of the sea. Cause there's creatures,

probably down there. We don't even know about one guy on some national geographic thing. He was talking about he, they went so deep and it looked like there was a beach underwater and they tried to go down and the water was so, uh, like so much salt content, whatever you would say there was so thick, they couldn't go down further. They were bouncing, but it was like, there were shells and stuff. And it was like, this water was running up on the beach.

Really? I saw that on something. TikTok? Yeah, but it was from a National Geographic type thing. So it's just wild what's down there. That's why I'm saying, let's do the ocean. It was from one of your propaganda channels. Yeah, so you can believe it. So you can believe. Yeah. Okay, great. I joke, I didn't mean to.

National Geographic, though, if you were a conspiracy, you'd be like, you know, this is right up your alley. You believe everything they say. I do? Yeah. Usually Aaron with his Notre Dame degree is the guy, but you filling in for him as a Davidson alumni is the educated one. I've heard him on this podcast. He's definitely smarter than me. He knows a lot of facts. Yeah, I know a lot of stuff, though. I'm

I'm, I mean, I, I've just surprised myself. Everything I've said. Yeah. So you really come out. I think there's gonna be a lot of fact checkers listening that are like what Joe said was a little bit off there. Yeah. I suspect I could see that. Well, hopefully our back and forth will deflect from any of that and it'll all come back on me. Have you been getting, have you been getting some flack for saying you don't believe in space? Yeah. But I, I'm not saying I don't believe it.

Just having fun. Let's double down on it again. We're just having, it was just being silly and fun. I like to talk about it. I think it's fun, but people, some people do not find it to be fun. Yeah. The funny thing is the way they defend Dusty, because they'll be like, ah, this guy, you know, he, some people want to dump Dusty and then people defend him. Very few people. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Very few people, but then the super pro science crowd or something. No, I wouldn't even call him that. But,

But then everyone will come to Dusty's defense. But then they'll be like, look, I find his viewpoints crazy too, but we really love Dusty and we want to, you know, it's so funny how they always say, I think it's wild myself, but you know, he's a fun guy. I mean, isn't it boring if we all believe the same thing? If we all believe the same thing. I believe that. I think it's boring. If we all believe the same thing, we'd be brainwashed. Yeah, we got to spice it up a bit. Your Patrice O'Neill thing just came up again on a podcast. Really? Somebody brought it up.

I forgot whose it was, but they're, they told the story about Patrice O'Neill and you and dinosaurs. Yeah. And a few people I've sent it and say, Hey, Nate just got mentioned again. That's that story. Yeah. Yeah. Where, yeah. Where was it? I'll find out. I forgot. Uh, all right. Yeah. Is that it? Yeah. Yeah. Well, we got to go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I got to, uh, go into a little softball game. Uh, last softball game. Ooh. Harper's team. Nice. Last of the season. Yeah. Yeah.

Uh, she's a catcher. I was a catcher. So it's very exciting. That's awesome. Very fun stuff. Uh, all right.
