Hello folks and hey bear welcome to the Nate land podcast 2024 I'm Nate Bargetti Brian Bates Aaron Weber Dusty Slay. All right, we did it you're here

Welcome. New year, starting off fresh. Well, we already have one episode that came out that we recorded last year with Angela. But this is the first real 2024. But this is us together. It's going to be a big year. Big year. It is a big year. Could be a big year. You ever just feel it coming into the year? Like it's going to be a big one. Yeah, you do? You feel that? I'm trying to just convince myself of it. If I say it enough, then I think it'll happen. I feel like even years, for whatever reason, more stuff happens in odd years. Yeah.

No, 2001. Like in the world? Just in general in the world or in your life? No, I meant in the world. 2001 was pretty bad. That was an odd year. That's true. I mean, it's not a perfect plan. 2001, yeah, changed the world in a real way. I mean, that just shot down that theory quick. Well, I mean, that's one case. The most pivotal event of our lifetime was an odd year. There's some stuff in 2023 that happened that was kind of going on right now.

69. 2020 was a bad one too, though. 2020. Well, I think that's what he's saying. Yeah, it was an even. And that was a bad one. I guess I just think Olympics happened even years. And I feel like the World Cup happens even years. A lot of stuff. Elections. You're saying elections. Oh, you're saying good stuff happens. Well, I just meant in general. I hadn't really thought this through. You just said it. Good happens in even, bad in odd. Oh, yeah. Is that what you're saying? Sure. Yeah. I take back what I said about this year.

Well, the way the world feels, I bet it's going to be awesome. Seems like everybody's getting along. We're getting along. We're having fun. We are. We have fun. I think it's going to be a big year for Dusty Slay. Yeah. It's going to be a big year for all of us. Netflix special comes out. Oh, yeah. Next week. Well, that is true. It comes out next Tuesday, right? It's Tuesday. January 16th, yeah. Big time. It's going to be a big year. Even day. On an even day. On an even day, yeah. On an even year, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Saw the trailer dropped. It looks great.

Is that the same trailer that you posted originally? But it's making its rounds again. It looks legit. No, I think it's a new one. Yeah, it's a new. The first one was just music. This one has some of the jokes in it. Some jokes, yeah. Yeah, it's fun. It is a good trailer, but they play kind of like rock music along with my jokes, which I don't really feel like fits my jokes. You know what I mean? Like some of the jokes that I used on there, I like them all, but some of them are more subtle jokes. And so when you're like hitting it with some real rock.

It feels like, you know, I don't know. You wanted some smooth jazz or something. That would be a little more your vibe. That would be more my vibe. Yeah. Like I hit a joke and then the saxophone plays a little bit. Yeah. You know, or maybe just some soft piano. Yeah. They would be confused. Yeah. Yeah. That's how I like it.

What hat did you wear? I wore my own hat. Oh, there you go. Yeah. Are you worried that title working man, people are going to do some background check and find out you didn't live in a trailer park? No, that's true. I mean, no, I'm not worried about it because that stuff is true. So I'm not worried about that. My dad did go, he goes, what's with this working man thing? Yeah.

And see, my dad still has my pictures from high school hanging in my old room, even though my old room is nothing like when I was growing up. The pictures are still on the wall. So my dad's still in his mind. I'm still like this.

High school slacker kid. Yeah. He can't let it go. Listening to Limp Bizkit. Right. Yeah. That I've lived an entire life since high school. Multiple lives, really, that I've gone through. Yeah. Things. And he's still locked in that I'm, you know, failing Spanish class in high school. You know, it's the only class I was not doing well in. But yeah.

but, uh, Oh, Spanish. Yeah. And he can't, he's like, you know, acting like I never worked a day in my life. I've had several jobs. I've been an alcoholic and recovered. Yeah. I mean, I've gone through things. He's like, ah, he ain't done nothing. This is working man. Working man. What a lazy boy. Yeah. And then I start trying to explain and he zones off. Are you with us? Yeah.

You probably had more jobs than any of us. Yeah. I probably had more jobs than my dad. Yeah. I'm being honest. I mean, how many jobs do you think you have? Well, I've had quite a few, but you know, they didn't all last a long time, but, uh, is it all on your LinkedIn? Should I pull that up? It should be on my LinkedIn. That'd be, I would be wondering how many jobs I had a lot of jobs too. Yeah. You probably, yeah. Have you not had a lot of jobs?

No, I mean, I'm educated. Yeah, that is true. That's funny. That is true. Educated people don't have. Yeah, you get one and check weather. Yeah. I did have that old school mentality that doesn't exist anymore. You get a good job, you just stay there. So that's what my parents taught me. Well, I had that with the water company, reading water. It would have been, that's what the plan was there. It was start comedy. But.

Yeah. I mean, I've delivered pizza. I think I had four of my jobs. I think I did twice. Like I worked at Papa John's twice. I worked at Western Sizzling twice. I worked at Spectracide twice and at Hyman's twice.

So that would have been eight jobs had I not just gone back. That's a good lesson not to burn a bridge on the way out. Yeah. You never know. You're going to be back at Papa John's. I'm a two-week notice guy. I'm all about the two-week notice. And we might still go back. Who knows? That's what I always say. I make fun of Spectre's side all the time, but I'm like, hey, who knows? I wonder if two-week notice is still around. Do people even care anymore? I think people just quit now. When I got fired from my...

my last quote unquote real job when they fired me, I go, so like you want me to do two weeks? And they're like, oh no, you can leave today. I was like, oh man, I thought, I thought I had a two weeks where I could just chill and they didn't want it. I don't think you get two weeks when the employee fires you. Yeah, I guess you're right. That's when you're like, hey, I want you to know, and I'm going to be leaving you. So I'm going to give you a little bit of a warmup.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I just thought I'd need a transitional period. I got to train the next guy. But they were like, we don't need you. You're giving us nothing. They got rid of you. You're fired. So in two weeks. Yeah.

All right, we'll bring that guy in. I'll tell him. Yeah, we're firing you, but we'd love for you to train the next guy. Yeah. We don't like how you work around here, but we'd love for you to instill some of that in the next guy. I didn't even think about that. We want your philosophies. Yeah.

into the next age group that comes in. We want you to instill that work ethic in the next generation. Yeah. Weren't you a valet one time? I did do that, but for about six weeks. I got valet too. Yeah, did you? BNA at the Nashville airport. Oh, okay. That's big time. Yeah. You ever crash a car?

get in a wreck? No, it was right when Sirius came out. So you would, like, it was like you'd be getting some nice cars and you just sit and listen to Sirius radio. And it was like, this is crazy. Like, and so sometimes you'd park car and just go sit in the car for a little bit longer and listen to Sirius radio. That's fun. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. I've worked at the Planners Inn, downtown Charleston. Very nice hotel. And it was, yeah, I mean, those cars, I would be like, I don't, I mean, I don't feel comfortable driving this. Did you have like high profile clients that you're supposed to like know who they are?

Well, you had an earpiece that you would wear. And so when people would pull up, they would say, especially if they were coming back, they would tell you in the ear, oh, this is Mr. Johnson. And then I'm supposed to go out and go, welcome back, Mr. Johnson. And I had a real hard time with that. I'm very polite to people, but I have a hard time being like, oh, welcome back to the hotel, Mr. Johnson. Can I help you with those bags? I'm just like, hey, I mean, I'm good to talk, but I can't.

get into this. Let them feel welcomed. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I go, you know, I just like to talk to everybody like we're just normal people out here. Yeah. You know? Yeah. So I have a hard time with that. So it wasn't for me. And plus there are other bellhops and they would get real competitive, you know, because they want to make money. And I'm like, I want to make money too, but I'm not trying to

You know, I'm not trying to trip you up, you know, to get to the client. Who was telling you? It's Mr. Johnson. The front desk people. Like they could see him pull in. Either they had cameras or whatever. They had some system.

And then, you know, and then you'd get in the elevator and the front desk people would be making jokes with you in the elevator about the people. And it's hard to not laugh, you know? Oh, that's funny. It is. I always wanted a job where I didn't need your piece. I never got it. You just feel official. The Manning cast. Yeah, the Manning cast. Your dream came true. My dream came true. And the...

And from what I'm gathering, it wasn't as fun as you had hoped. I hated the earpiece. I thought it was a lot of fun. The earpiece was one of the worst parts. You had a great time. But when I saw Obama speak, the Secret Service guys were all around. They all... Where at? Notre Dame? Yeah, he did. That's the difference, man. Yeah. It's just like, I don't have a story where I say, when I watched Obama speak, I just was never in... I was never within six miles of a president.

Yeah. I mean, there's just, you're not going to be around. We weren't hanging out or anything. Yeah, but you're not, I mean, you would never be, that's the college education. It's just, you're at least in a couple of blocks from someone, from a powerful person. We were under the same roof. Yeah. Yeah. Versus like where, yeah, where we're, I mean, I never had a job. You're like, no one's.

you know, I went, we delivered a washer and dryer to the Dixie chicks. Uh, that's pretty cool. All three of them. No, it was like, there's there, there are studio or something or whatever.

So, I mean, you know. How many people have seen the Dixie Chicks' laundry room, though? I mean, that's pretty. I thought, like, they shared an apartment. I was like, wow, they're legit. Yeah, yeah. Still do. Yeah, they had, it was. It's just the chicks now. Yeah, yeah. It was like their music office or whatever, something. I forget. I remember delivering their. Probably platinum records on the wall. That's pretty cool. I got thrown out by the Secret Service at an Al Gore event once. What were you doing? Causing a ruckus?

Didn't have the proper credentials. Oh, really? You were there at New Channel 5? Yeah, I was in New Hampshire, the New Hampshire primary when Al Gore ran for president. And the company that we were working with didn't have enough media credentials for everybody. So...

Uh, we were like one shorts of me and the camera guy had to share. So you should, what I should have done was just hang tight close to him because he was wearing it and not make myself known. But I started trying to make a name for yourself. Well, I started wandering a little bit instead of just staying hid. And a lady came up to me and was secret service. And she was like, where's your media credential? And I'm like, oh, it's right over there in my coat.

And she's like, well, you need to wear it at all times when you're out. And I'm like, okay. Listen, I got an inconvenient truth for you. And I walked over there and I told the camera guy, I was like, Jerry, Jerry, hand me your pass. And as soon as he did, like they grabbed me and they hauled me out in front of everybody. And they questioned me. They had dolls. You got questions? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. I mean, he was vice president of the United States. Yeah. There's some guy pretending like he has credential and he doesn't. And I got questioned. And then finally they were like, all right. They said, if you want to try to kill him, we'll let you try. He doesn't even need secret service for you. They go, we feel so comfortable. We're going to put you in a room alone without. Yeah.

What were some questions they asked you? Just who I was, why I was there, all that stuff. They finally said, you can go, but you can't stay in here. And so now I'm in New Hampshire in January. I'm outside with no coat, just wandering around. Wow. Just out in the open. No cell phone at the time, probably, right? Yeah.

I don't know. Where's your coat at? By my media pass that Jerry was wearing. I mean, we'd taken our coats off inside there, but I didn't have time to say... They wouldn't let you get your coat. No, they're like, you got to leave right now. They hauled me out. So you never had a media pass? There was three of us there and we had two media passes. So in that moment...

I wasn't wearing it and I should have just stay low profile, but I started wandering around. And Brian is, he just takes over. Hey, give me your media pass. I'm going to go walk around. Yeah, I should have. Yeah. I very well should have. Yes. But I didn't think, ah, who cares? Where's this story? And all this time. Yeah. I thought I told it. Be honest with you. I never heard that. That's good stuff. Just waiting for the new year. Yeah. Endless. Well, Brian was waiting for the, an even year to tell it. Yeah. Yeah. Stuff happens.

Did you have a hotel? Did you walk back to the hotel? We had a hotel, but I mean, we were at some... Jerry had that key too. Jerry had it all. I think I did have a cell phone because I remember calling and saying, well, when you leave, at least bring my coat. Yeah. I couldn't walk back to the hotel. We were at some of, I mean, it was like far away. Yeah.

And how long were you outside? I felt, I felt like I went to like, uh, there were satellite trucks there and I knew somebody that was inside, you know, running on the satellite truck. So I just went in there and sat in the satellite truck. You said I got kicked out. Yeah. What was the reason you were there? You were. Because Gore, Gore. Yeah. Gore was running for president. He was from Tennessee. It was the same weekend as the Superbowl. The Titans are in the Superbowl. Oh. Like probably two or three days before that. Yeah.

And, uh, yeah, I was there as a producer, but that night I was just a guy roaming around New Hampshire. How old were you think? It was 2000. So yeah, I was, uh, 52. Dusty. You have all people I thought would. Well, you know, just it was left out there. Yeah. I'm 52 now. Thank you very much. Yeah. Oh yes. You've been like 30. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's fun.

Were you pretty nervous when they grabbed you? I was very nervous. Yeah. Because I was embarrassed. Everyone sees it. Everybody saw it. Everybody saw it. I mean, there's a ruckus and I'm like George Costanza getting hauled out, you know.

By two guys and whatever. Like, you know, they're grabbing you and pulling you out of there. It's almost fun, except for that you can't get back in. Right? It's kind of like a cool, like, yeah, I got kicked out. Did they ever leave? Was it ever like, we understand, but you just can't go back in? Yeah, that's what they said. They're not going to arrest me, but they're like, we ain't letting you back in. Yeah. We've already made a point. God, would you have went back in? Which should have been like, either arrest me or let me go back in.

Well, they beat on the pass. That's true, but Jerry does. Kick Jerry out for a while. Yeah, I'm cold. The camera's already in there. We don't even need Jerry. What was the other person doing? He was reporting. He was a reporter, a photographer, and me as producer.

So you were the most expendable. Why could they not get three badges? It was some company that we would work with these other side affiliates. And it was this company called Conus. And I think they're even out of business now. And they just, for whatever reason, didn't get us enough media credentials. They didn't think Gore would be the nominee at this point. That's why Brian's going to cover that. In New Hampshire. Yeah.

New Hampshire primary, which is a big deal. That's one of the big ones. Yeah. Yeah. Iowa and then New Hampshire. Yeah. So just up there in the thick of it. Bush was there too, which is funny because Ruth worked for Bush. She had been there. I don't think that I don't, we've talked about, I don't think she was there, but it'd be funny if she heard about it. Yeah. Three towns over. Yeah. I remember that. She goes, I was in that. Yeah. She could have been at that event. Yeah.

I guess technically. Well, not at Gore's. She could have been like, hey, there's a guy wandering around out there with no media pass. Can you guys check that out? She reported you to the Secret Service. Do you remember, do you have short sleeves on underneath the jacket? I feel like I did. I remember it was very cold. Yeah. It was very cold. I would feel like it's that person...

Because it is, there's a person that wears a coat when it's cold. When they take it off, they have short sleeve because they're just going to be, they somehow get so hot inside. Well, it was like, you know, usually I would, you have, if it's real cold outside, you have long sleeve both. But then, you know, there is people that would just have button down short sleeve shirt.

I remember it was a packed event, so you're like, it's going to be very hot in there. Yeah, because they would think about stuff like that. They would say that to themselves. The body temperature. They would say that in the mirror. Well, it's going to be packed, so it's going to be hot. Aaron, I feel like you can relate with me on this. Look, I get it. When I fly, it's cold. I wear a heavy jacket to the airport, and then I have a T-shirt underneath it. T-shirt and shorts underneath it. So when I get on the plane, I start sweating. I take it off. No, not tear away, dude. I'm not warming up for a JV game.

Ruth pointed out to me that she, well, she didn't point out, but she was the deputy chief of staff for Condoleezza Rice. The person who replaced her

Connelly's Rice when Obama took over was Hillary Clinton and her deputy chief of staff was Huma Abedin whose husband which would make me Anthony Wiener alright it's all coming together I was Anthony Wiener before Anthony Wiener so you know that's fun hmm

All right. So since we've been all together, we've had a couple of fun things. We did a surprise birthday party for Laura. Yeah. Very fun birthday party. We had the Velcro Pygmies. They're a cover band. It's kind of a hair cover band. Yeah. There's me, Bateson. Like 80s hair metal. Yeah. We all dressed up in kind of an 80s kind of thing. Well, not everybody. Not everybody. Aaron was wearing a cardigan. Yeah.

Oh, I'm sorry, dude. I'm wearing a cardigan. I'm joking. I don't know if you guys talked about this at all, but when we were here the time before the party, Graham K. was here, and he was downstairs. And this is a surprise party. As far as I know, it's all a surprise party. And he's downstairs. He goes, hey, you guys going to the party? You guys going to the party tomorrow or whatever? And I'm like, I didn't know what to do. I just...

I waved him off and I left the room. I was like, I don't know what to do. Yeah. And then I messaged him and I was like, as far as I know, this is a surprise party. And he thought that I was just got very rude with him. And he thought I just waved him. But I was like, I don't know what to do here. Yeah. He said something about it later. He was like, Dustin gave me a weird like hand motion. I was just trying to make conversation. I talked to him about it later, but yeah.

it was, uh, yeah, the whole thing we, uh, we was at exit in, which if you know, in Nashville is a, a kind of a, is a very famous legendary, legendary, uh, rock venue. And, uh, yeah, a lot of people were there and it was really, really a fun, fun, uh, night. It was fun to get out and to play all the music Laura likes. Uh,

It was awesome. If you're looking at the picture, Brian Bates has got a long wig on. Yeah. And if you're a big fan of the podcast, you might recognize that wig from the Halloween episode where Brian was dressed up as Dusty Slay. That's the Dusty Slay wig right there. Well, I'm going to tell you something. That wig...

That changed who Brian was. Yeah. I mean, I was into long hair baits. I was like, this guy's awesome. Too much. Jager bombs at the bar. No, that's not true. But Dusty's wife was like filming me all night. Like the point where it was awkward. Like I'd move and I would just see her moving with me. I'm like, what are y'all doing? You're stealing the show. I mean, it brought you an energy that I've not seen before. Well, it was a little awkward. I was a little, you know.

Comics like to be funny, but we like to control it. This is a little bit out of our comfort zone to show up like this. I mean, it was good. It was a good vibe, though. I want you to get it. I want you to wear a wig like that. I know. You told me multiple times that night. Yeah. All right. Let's start with you guys. The Christmas Traditions comments. Gabriel Hernandez says,

Aaron needs to be canceled for never seeing Home Alone and his dislike for rocking around the Christmas tree. Amen. It's all instincts. But Home Alone came out a year before I was born.

It's like, I guess I'm just supposed to have watched it later in life. I would say you should see Home Alone. It's great. It's very funny. Rocking Around the Christmas Tree is a garbage song. Home Alone is, yeah. What if Brenda Lee listens to this podcast? I hope she does. I hope she hears it. Yeah, Home Alone's super funny. Okay. I mean, it's just a great movie.

It's just a fun movie. Next Christmas, I'll watch it. Yeah. Is there one sequel? There's like seven, right? Yeah, but I think there's two. Only two Macaulay Culkin movies. Yeah, and then after that, I don't know what happened. But yeah, Joe Pesci. Yeah, they're great. What's his face? Daniel Stern? Daniel Stern, yeah. He's so funny in it, dude. Yeah. So funny. They're really great. Yeah.

Old blue arms. Nate shaming Nick for saying pecan, pecan. I don't know how to say it anymore. Nate shaming Nick for saying pecan different is hilarious when he pronounces Reese's Pieces as Reese's Pieces. Reese's Pieces. Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, I say a lot of stuff. I'm a Reese's Pieces pronouncer too, though. Reese's Pieces. Reese's Pieces, yeah. Yeah. I know it says pieces, but-

Reese's Pieces. But I think it's like the name Reese.

Oh, it's like Reese's Pieces. It's his pieces. Yeah. Reese's Pieces. It's the pieces of Reese. So it's Reese's Pieces. No one would want to eat it. What do you want to eat? Reese's Pieces? It's pieces of what? And you're like, no, I don't know. If you really look at that name, that's a very weird name. It is. For candy. It's bizarre. But Reese's Pieces sounds... It's got a flow to it. It's got a flow. And I'm not worried about like taking someone's thing.

Reese's Pieces. But like Hershey's a name too. It doesn't. Hershey's a good name. That's not. I know. But because it's Reese's Pieces just is like, who's Reese? No one ever sees Reese. Yeah. They don't put them on the. No one's ever talked about Reese. No one ever. We just go Reese's Pieces. You think it's a guy? I think it's. Oh, yeah.

Right? Reese. They weren't naming stuff after women back then. Reese Witherspoon. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's a last name. But when you break down Hershey's. Baby Ruth. Hershey's Kisses. Right? That sounds better than pieces. Yeah. Yeah. I want some Hershey Kisses. Oh, it's made by Hershey. They were created in 1928 by H.B. Reese, a former dairy farmer and shipping foreman for Hershey.

How about that? I haven't got to the bottom of it. So he probably stole from the company. Oh, yeah. Started making that candy. Josh Ellenberg. So there was a recent name, first name. No. HB. Would you have HB's pieces? I'd like to know what HB stands for. Yeah. Yeah.

Harry Burnett. Harry's pieces. I like that. I don't want a hairy cup either. Harry Burnett Reese. How about that? Inducted posthumously into the candy hall of fame. Good for him. Why don't you not give it to him a little earlier? I know.

What were they holding on to? They waited 50, 53 years after he died to induct him. Well, I think he needed E.T. to make him know Reese's Pieces existed. E.T. was big. But E.T. was, I mean, that came out in the 80s. I would think he got in for the cups and not the pieces. Did he do the cups? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I've seen that. The cups were probably, yeah, the cups is what he got in for.

Maybe the PCs kept him from getting in sooner. They were like, actually, this is hurting your legacy a bit. Well, imagine the cup. So the idea of the PCs was to do what? Like small cups?

Just trying to do little M&M's. Yeah, it's like an M&M competitor. Yeah, but it's not even close to M&M's. Well, yeah, but the Reese's family. I don't know if I really had Reese's pieces a ton. You're missing out. They are better than M&M's in my opinion. What? Yeah, so good. So good. That's crazy.

I think M&M's have. You like them more than M&M's? Yeah, yeah. I think M&M's have petroleum in it, I think. People were saying that. Who? Who was saying that? There's people out there saying that. Look up. I mean, you don't have to look it up right now, but in your own time. I don't know if it's going to work on a regular computer. Yeah. I don't have the dark web on there yet. Oh, man. I'll keep digging. Yeah. Yeah, thank you. You have to keep digging. Keep digging. Keep digging.

Josh Ellenberg. While listening to the Christmas episode, Nick used the phrase, she could care less while talking about his daughter. While I love Nick, my gears began to grind after that comment. She couldn't care less would be the expression. Curious if you fellows have any expressions that get under your skin. Cheers and how's your year going? It's off to a great start. No.

No, let's go is my only. Yeah. But literally, I feel like at least half the time when someone says literally, it's not literally. I don't like the expression worse comes to worse. I'm like, that sounds like the worst it could possibly be. People go worse comes to worse. I'll just do this. See, I like it. I like worse comes to worse. I like it because it makes me

It's like when you're about to work on a problem, I will tend to go, what's the worst? The worst is this. So if that's the bottom, then it's like, well, if I'm not scared of that bottom, then you can give it your all. But this expression seems it's not just the worst. It's worse comes to worse. It's as worst as worse can get. I think it's, I say worst of the worst. Or wait,

Different expression. Yeah. Is it? Is that an expression? Worst comes to worst. Yeah. Or I'll say worst case scenario. Yeah. Worst case scenario. Push comes to shove. Yeah. Push comes to shove. Well, this is one of those. She could care less does not bother me. Even though if you really get into the weeds of it, it's not what they mean. You can use context.

You know what they mean when they say it, right? It doesn't bother me that much. Well, it's like that's the... Yeah, it's probably the human aspect that you should learn to love to go like, yeah, that is interesting. Humans say... They don't say stuff grammarly. You know, when you're reading a book or something, that's what the book is for. But for Nick, who wrecked eight cars in a van, he might say she could care less. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's...

I had an English teacher that was like, you, you, you make exceptions for things. Like there's some stuff we should just carve out exceptions for. Um, the, the opening of star Trek, you remember like the opening it's to boldly go where that's grammatically, you're not supposed to put an adverb when you have an infinitive like that to go, you're not allowed to put like to boldly go, but he was like, we'll just allow it's star Trek. We'll just allow it. So we should just have exceptions. We all thinking that.

Yeah. I was thinking of all the unbelievable things in this movie. That's what gets me. Yeah. They said that and I was like, I'm out. What should they have said? To go boldly. Oh, to go boldly where no man is. Yeah, but to boldly go just sounds better, right? Yeah. I mean, grammatically, it's not correct. And that was Star Trek. I never watched Star Trek. You're missing out. Yeah.

All right. The 180s comments. Josh Stringer. I know it's Nate's podcast, so it makes sense that Brian did a year interview review for only Nate. Let's get her a review for everyone. Would also be cool to hear some goals and plans for 2024.

Didn't you say some other reviews? Did a little bit. Yeah. I mean, I did mine. What about us, Brian? I mean, come on. Well, I mean, I didn't do it. January, I got a new filter for my CPAP. There you go. February. That's big time. We had a 20% off coupon to Long John Silver. You're supposed to replace the filter like once a week, though. You are? Yeah. We'll talk about it later. All right. Just want to make sure you're breathing okay.

Have you been keeping it in for a year? I don't know. I was just... That's never the thing you want people to bring up. Trying to be funny. Well, have you ever changed it? I've never changed it. He's never changed it. Yeah, he changed it once a week. So we stumbled. Mine was recalled and I've never replaced it. Really? You just breathe in toxic fumes every night? What was the recall? It's something about the...

Can you do a CPAP recall? Philips Respironics or whatever. The foam comes off and causes cancer. That's all we wanted. I don't know if you had to read more than that. You just thought, like, whatever? Yeah, whatever. It's a living life, man. If it happens, it happens. Worst comes to worst. I just got breathed in. That's the right attitude to have when you get a daughter. So...

I mean, one of my goals for 2024 is to start smoking. Oh, nice. Oh, yeah. Let's do it. Starts now. Don't mind. Can I light up? Yeah. Spark it up. Smoke them if you got them. All right. I was at a toy store over Christmas and saw some of these. I'm like, I got to get some. Because you can't find them anywhere. Candy cigarettes? I know. You got to find them at like a tractor barrel type place. Seems like you already went to a few. Not only one. Then I saved the rest.

That used to be, dude, a candy cigarette was the thing to have. I tried to find it for the candy episode. I couldn't. Yeah. You get some candy cigarette, get some of that. What's the bubble gum? Big League Chew. Oh, dude. I feel like a real adult. You got to pack these things, man. Yeah, you do got to pack them. Yeah. Oh, well. Wow. Good job. Thanks, dude. Andy Campbell.

When Aaron was recounting his childhood injuries, I was struck by his parents' decision to go to a Chinese buffet with four children on crutches. That's funny.

They choose the only type of dining that absolutely requires the use of both hands. That's some tough luck. Good luck, kids. We'll see you at the table. I didn't even think about that. That is crazy. I don't know how we got it. Maybe that's why they chose the buffet during that time. They're like, this guarantees a one-plate visit. Yeah. Trying to get these. I would imagine a bunch of kids, buffets are, you just got to do it because it's going to cost you it.

$1,200 if you go to. Oh, yeah. Like an O'Charlie's. Right. Because you're going to just keep doing it. So you're, you know, and it's, you know, Ford. And one of the linemen. Yeah. And those buffets are like eight bucks. And you're like, oh, y'all just go off. Yeah. That is, man. Y'all just all had to keep just. Can you imagine being behind y'all?

On crutches. Yeah. You see them get out of the van, you rush in that restaurant and get ahead of them. Yeah, you better get ahead of them. Go, go. Or you just sit and wait because you know they're probably about to bring some hot stuff out. Yeah, keep it for after. They got to refill all this stuff. Darren Parrish. The company I think did a complete 180 is Champion.

I remember when champion was dirt cheap. There's an episode of Seinfeld where the guy who shaved his head got depressed due to actual baldness. He had a champion shirt on. He had a champion shirt to show he gave up on life. Now Nate ends SNL on a champion hoodie with three, seven, one, three, eight on it. Complete one 80. Yeah, that is crazy. Uh, yeah, it's good. Uh, yeah. Champion. I think champions is cool now. Right. Right. And it used to be the Kmart brand, right? It wasn't Kmart's clothing.

Grant Warstall.

You guys listed all the worst parts about video stores with such a positive tone. Lack of options, popular movies sold out, late fees, rewinding the tape. Sounds awful. Yeah, I mean, it was the frustrating things, but when you look back on stuff, the frustrating is usually what makes you as a person in general. And so that's why you look back on it with fondness because you're like, yeah, you were like, you had nothing to do versus...

You should have some restriction in your life. It was great to not have unlimited options all the time. It makes you appreciate a movie better.

Yeah, it was, you know, when you had to go there and you had to guess what time you'd like, you thought about a process. You thought, I mean, you didn't have phones, so you weren't just staring in onto, you know, any movie on Earth. That's why takeaway. Go look at Netflix. Netflix, you go sit there and you walk. Oh, geez, things you just flip in any movie that's ever been made in the history of Earth. You can get to. Well, now, now I don't watch anything because it's like, where is it going to stop?

Trying to find a movie to watch with my parents over Christmas was just like, I mean, it took two hours scrolling through everything. There's too many options. Yeah. When we had six DVDs at the house, that's why it was easy. Let's put in one of the six. Yeah. You go to adventure video. The movie that you want is not there. So you're like, I guess we'll just grab this other movie. Yeah. And then you go back and you watch it and you're like, this movie sucks. But you're like, we rented it. We did it together as a family. Yeah. Yeah.

Sandra Nguyen. When? When? You think when? Sandra when? Wow. When? Wow. My dad would dub every single movie we rented. Then he kept them organized with a checkout list for people who wanted to borrow them. The video store called to tell us that we accidentally returned our dubbed copy of the movie instead of their tape.

My sister and I spent the afternoon thinking our dad would face a $25,000 fine. Our five years in prison. Instead, the video store happily gave my dad's bootleg copy back in exchange for their VHS. Yeah, I wonder if you really got that. That's very funny that I like to, you know, he did that. What would he dub it over with?

His own jokes or just say the line? No, no. You just, you, I think, put it on your own two VCRs. And so you would just, he'd rent it, record it. And then, uh,

rent it, play it, and then on another VCR be recording the movie. That's what dub every single movie is? I think so. But I think that's what she means. I thought you meant to do like a voice, like a dub over. No. She means like a bootleg. Okay. Okay. I've never seen dub used like that. Yeah, you would have like VHSs that could say like Star Wars on them and then you're like, that's actually Spider-Man we recorded over Star Wars. Yeah, that's my wedding, you know?

I actually thought Dub 2 meant what you thought because the last name and I thought maybe he was like way ahead in advance and making like it was in English and he was like, I'm going to go ahead and make a copy in my language and then people can rent them out from me.

I mean, I took it too far. There's a chance Sandra is from Atlanta. Yeah. Then he kept them organized with a checkout list for people who wanted to borrow them. So I thought he had like a whole network of people that were like an underground railroad. We're trying to get a version of this movie in our language. He's translating movies for the Vietnamese community. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that'd be a nice thing. Yeah.

Sorry, guys. I've not read off paper in a long time. Meaning books? Maybe give you an iPad and pretend like you're watching YouTube. No, and I don't mean just the paper like that. I mean, I've not read out loud. Yes, out loud. It's been a couple weeks. It's a lot. Getting back into it from the holidays, man. I get it.

Well, this week we are talking about Ohio. Ohio. I believe all three of you are performing in Ohio this month. January. Oh, really? How about that? Yeah. IO. All right. That's the chant, right? Yeah. Yeah. H. Big hand motions. That's pretty annoying when people do that.

All right. The guy that's about to go there, I would maybe save that for after. I believe you would have just come back. I just come back from Columbus. But you're getting ready to go. I'm back in Toledo in February. Okay. Never been to Toledo. And I'm about to be in Dayton. What's Nate doing? Columbus and Cincinnati. Ohio State Stadium. Yeah. This weekend, Columbus and Cincinnati. Yeah. Columbus and Cincinnati. Wow.

The capital and largest city, Columbus. Yeah, this is great. Columbus, you don't think, and this is no disrespect to Columbus, but it's never talked about in the same way that Cleveland and Cincinnati are. Am I wrong about that? You're not wrong. I found it's more than twice the size of Cleveland, which is the second biggest city. It's not even close. It's the biggest city in Ohio. But for whatever reason, I never. I think it's because of sports teams.

They have, of course, Ohio State. They have a hockey team, soccer. But I think about baseball, football, basketball. That's what I've always thought of. Oh, that's a big city. They don't have any of those. What do you say? Columbus is what? Is it big? It's more than twice as large as the second biggest city in Ohio. Oh, really? It's not even close. Oh, it's bigger than Cincinnati and Cleveland. Yeah. I think it might be more than them combined. I think it is. Now, Cleveland, I think, used to be a lot bigger. And people have moved. Cleveland.

Cleveland's decreasing. Columbus is increasing. Yeah. Great zoo. They do have a great zoo. They have a great zoo. Ohio is the Buckeye State because there's a lot of Buckeye trees there. I never knew what a Buckeye was. I thought it was a candy. Maybe named after a tree. According to this. Is it a nut? Yeah, it's a nut. If you... Yeah.

I love how frustrated you were that we didn't know what a Buckeye was. I think I know. I thought it was a candy guy. According to this. Well, I was being funny that because people always call me out. I'm the one that writes it. Then I'm like, according to this, if you carry one of the nuts in your pocket, legend is you'll have good luck. Oh, okay. On an even or odd year. It doesn't say.

Does not say. Did you ever carry around a trinket like that? Rabbit's foot? Anything like that? I always felt kind of extreme. Like you'd always buy the rabbit's foot. And in my head, I thought, are they killing these rabbits? Just for the feet? Just for, you know, it's like, it's like a quarter. And you're like, all these rabbit's feet. Yeah. Yeah. Do you ever put one on your key chain?

I might have had a rabbit's foot. I think I did at one point, too. A little horseshoe, too. I was really trying to get some luck. Oh, yeah? Yeah. You carried a little horseshoe? Yeah. A little. Was it for a pony? Did it work? I don't think it was actually ever on a... I don't think the rabbit's foot was real, either. If you pulled out this horseshoe you're describing, would it be a normal-sized horseshoe for us? And then...

You go, yeah, just a little horse. You're like, yeah, that's a real horseshoe there. No, it's a little. It's a little. It's got a little horse foot on it. They have the only state flag that's not a rectangle. It's a pennant. It's a confusing flag. How'd they get away with that? You feel like that's maybe the main thing?

Thing that a flag needs to be is like it needs to be a rectangle. Mm-hmm. That's Ohio. Swallowtail flag. What was that? Mm-hmm. Weak flag. Yeah, when did they do this? This flag was designed in 1901 and adopted in 1902. Before that, they did not have a legally authorized state flag. Well, maybe it wasn't all. Well, no, 1902, that was...

Everybody was already doing the flag thing, right? In the 1900s? Yeah. How many stars? We've already decided on the flags. What's that? How many stars they got on there? Weird number. It has 17 white stars. What is that?

Why 17? What did you come up with, Brian, according to this? I didn't come up with anything. The 13 stars grouped around the O represent the original states of the U.S., and the four stars added to the peak of the triangle symbolize that Ohio is the 17th state admitted to the union. They could have just said that's why they're 17. Yeah. Total, because it's the 17th.

I like Ohio. You know, when I lived in Charleston, we had the Charleston City paper and they put out a paper one time. And I think I've mentioned this before, but the paper, a lot of Ohio people apparently were moving to Charleston and they had a paper and the cover said, go back to Ohio. Yeah.

And I just, I remember thinking Ohio must be awful. Yeah. And then I started doing comedy everywhere in Ohio. And I'm like, that's great. Yeah. I love Ohio. There's a lot of comedy in Ohio. Yeah. A lot of funny bars. So many clubs. Yeah. Why were they trying to, was there that taken over? Were they causing problems in Charleston? Not that I was aware of. I mean, the city paper, you know, it's a bit of a...

I don't know. I liked the paper for a while. It's changed hands now, but it's a bit of a ridiculous kind of local paper. You know what I mean? Commie rag. Yeah. It's just like, yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. And... Go back to... Yeah, they never put me on the cover also. And they did put some of my friends up there. I'm not saying my friends didn't deserve to be there, but I did too. And...

So I'm mad at him. But. Yeah, you were Comedian of the Year for what, two straight years? Yeah, I was. And they were on the front page of the newspaper? The cover. Yeah. Was it a magazine or? Yeah, it's like the Nashville scene that we had here. Kind of the equivalent to that. Okay. Yeah. And they were putting y'all on the cover of it? Oh, yeah. Well, not me, but yeah. We were hot in the art scene. I mean, we had a hot scene for a while. Yeah.

And I was voted, you know, best local comic for two years in a row. And I never got a cover. Yeah. It's pretty ridiculous. But the entire state of Ohio got asked to leave. Yeah. Yeah. Insane. Yeah. So I thought, you know, and I'd never been to Ohio, but I thought, wow, I wonder what's going on there. Why everyone's leaving and why we don't want them to come here.

But there's so many clubs. There's funny. There's like, I mean, Cleveland has clubs and Toledo and Dayton and Cincinnati and Columbus. I mean, they're all over the place. That might be it. But yeah, that's a lot. That's still a lot. That's a lot. Let me ask you this. Do you think Ohio has an accent? When you think of Ohio, can you hear a particular accent in your head?

Just Midwest. Just like a Midwestern accent, right? Well, I had a roommate friend in college who's from Toledo and he would brag to me, not brag, but he would say that Ohio, because of its location, accent wise, it's so neutral that newscasters would try to model their voices after Ohioans because there's no accent. But then I heard him talk. I'm like, you have the thickest accent I've ever heard.

You know, you've got like a thick Midwestern accent. I don't know if I believe that at all. Have you heard that before being in news? I have. I mean, most of the broadcasters do come from the Midwest because it's centrally located. So it doesn't get too strong in any direction. Yeah. I mean, I feel like.

I feel like I can see that. I feel like real Southern Ohio, you're practically Kentucky, so you could have a Southern accent. Real Northern Ohio, aren't you right near Michigan? Yeah, you're up there. So if you're in Toledo, you could really have a Michigan accent. And Michigan for sure has an accent. Well, do you care? Isn't it like that? Ohio. He said, oh, man. Yeah, yeah. It's like a little bit of that. So yeah, like a little...

Yeah. Brown paper bag. That kind of stuff. Brown paper bag. There's a little bit of that. Now I was going to ask, do you care? That sounds like Wisconsin. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It all blurs together up there. I personally would not care if a newscaster or anybody had an accent. I don't think I'd trust anybody more or less based on an accent. I feel you would. I think so. What's the accent you trust the most?

A Southern accent like yours? Seriously, though. No, I think just neutral. I wish that newscasters where they're at in the country had an accent that represented it. Yeah, you want like if I'm watching the Nashville news, maybe I want somebody who sounds like they're from Nashville. A lot of yeehaws. We got Tornado Watch. Tornado Watch. Everybody, serious stuff right now. We got Tornado Watch.

Whipping a rope. Over there on the highway, Tornado. We got Tornado Watch. Yeah. I mean, would you want to hear that? Tornado? That's what I'm saying. Tornado warning? I mean, no. What was the Tornado warning coming out right now? And they're like, I don't know if this guy is serious. I don't know if I trust him.

But I'm guessing if you're a New Yorker, you want a new guy who sounds like he's from New York. You don't want a guy who sounds like he has no personality at all. Not from the South. That's true. New York, you want a New York sounding guy. A real attitude about the news. That's what I'd like. Because the local news, I mean, you're the expert here, but when you disagree. But I'm saying there's so much national news, social media. I feel like if I want local news, I want it to be because it's relevant, relevant.

To me, it's authentic. These people live where I live. So why not have a Southern accent? Why do I care if they have...

a neutral accent. I'm trying to... Maybe just... I mean, even when I hear... I have a Southern accent, but when I hear other Southerners interviewed on the news, I'm like, God, they sound so dumb. Do you really? Sometimes. You have that bias. Where do you think that comes from? Just movies and stuff? A lot of self-hate. Yeah. A lot of self-hatred. Yeah. I don't know. But I do... We talked about... Tom Brokaw was from South Dakota. Yeah. I can't remember where the other...

Peter Jennings and all those guys were from. But I think they are usually from the Midwest. In Columbus, 50% of the country lives within 500 miles of Columbus. Oh, wow. 50%. So that's a good place to live to do comedy. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty good. For driving. 50% of the country lives in what? 50% of the U.S. population lives within 500 mile radius of Columbus, Ohio. Oh, wow.

500 is pretty far. I was going to say that. Yeah. It's like an eight hour drive. Yeah. What's the going across country? 3000. Yeah. Almost 3000. You have like LA to New York. Yeah. All right. So that's a worthless stat. What else? All right. Yeah. I feel like everybody can say that every, every, every state we do, we go, you know, 50% of the country lives within a 500 mile radius of this. Oh, yeah.

Do we have it? I mean, with Tennessee, we'd probably be pretty close. Nashville is very centrally located. That's why it is a good hub for traveling comics. Yeah. Especially if you're driving. It's really good. Yeah. That's why the tour buses are all here. I always heard that's why country music was so big here because all the singers and all the buses, they would live here. 50% of the US population live within 600 miles of Nashville.

All right. So Columbus is a little better. Columbus is a little bit worth mentioning. Yeah. Yeah. If it's 500 miles or less, I'm going to mention it. It's the birthplace of aviation because the Wright brothers were from Dayton. Yeah. But then they went to North Carolina. They did it somewhere else. Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. That's why they're first in flight. Now, why did they leave Ohio to do it? Did Ohio, they weren't, they weren't open to the idea of flight. They had to go somewhere else. I don't know. To do it.

How'd they get there? I don't know, but I know how they got home. They landed in Dayton. Sorry, suckers. Did they? No, I don't know. Probably not. I feel like it was probably because of the, you need to be near the water, the ocean, the breeze. Some more flat or something? Yeah. North Carolina's not really known for being too flat though, huh? The coast would be. I guess so.

I went out there to the Outer Banks. I saw some Wright Brothers stuff. There's a club out there, right? There was a club called the Comedy Club of the Outer Banks. Yeah. I don't know if it's still there. I don't want to say they've closed. Eight presidents have come from Ohio. It's called the Mother of Presidents. Taff. That and Virginia. How'd you know that? I don't know. It feels like he came from Ohio. He did. Yeah. What do you know about Taff?

He's the fattest guy. Yeah. Just a picture of Ohio. Like I just, it just felt, I don't know why. I don't even think cause he's fat. I just, Taft felt to me like he came from Ohio. Yeah. It looks like an Ohioan for sure. Yeah. That guy's got a Browns Jersey on somewhere if he lived now. Yeah. Yeah. Who else came from? They're all like nobody recently. William Henry Harrison, ULSSS Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield, Ben

Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, Taft, Warren G. Harding. So that's the most presidents, but probably the lamest lineup of presidents a state could have. I think Virginia also has eight, and they also call themselves the mother of presidents. But they've got some movers and shakers. They got big. They got Jefferson. Why not father? George Washington. Why not call themselves the father of presidents?

If there's already a mother of president. That's a good question. Because I think the mother, the metaphor is they're birthing, they're giving birth to. Yeah, it's a dumb point. Kind of the father's making it happen too, though, right? Takes two to tango, that's for sure. Yeah, come on.

Now, my favorite is William Henry Harrison. I think I told this story in the president's episode, but Dusty wasn't here. He gave the longest inauguration speech of any president, nearly two hours. Kind of like you at theaters. Yeah. And it was raining and cold and rainy. He didn't wear a coat or a hat because he wanted to show people he was tough.

He got pneumonia and died a month later. Shortest term as president. 31 days, 32 days or something. Yeah. A month. I love a guy that'll prove a point though. You know what I mean? He's like, you know what? I don't care. Even on his deathbed, he was like, I'd still be talking if they would let me. Well, they were. Pneumonia was such a killer back then. You'd think they would take it a lot more serious. Yeah. They were trying bloodletting.

Leeches. They didn't mention leeching suction cups and native American remedies involving snakes. Oh, they were throwing the kitchen sink. When, what year was it? Sounds like they were killing this guy. I think it was. Let his blood out. Bring the snakes. Late 1700s or early 1800s. William Henry Harrison. Yeah, this was, was that who we're talking about? Yeah.

1841. This is pre-Civil War. Yeah. So we didn't have anything, dude. We didn't even know to wash our hands after stuff. I do like that this guy was like, I'm running on being tough. And I'm going to show you that I'm tough. And he... I...

Still believe he was tough. I mean, that's it. But if you really think back, it's the equivalent of seeing someone in the stands with no shirt on at a Browns game. Yeah. You know, it's that same like, well, they got tough. These guys are. Yeah. But no one really thinks that you just think what an idiot. Yeah. Come on, dude. You're not impressing us. I think they're tough. You do. Yeah. You're like with the offensive lineman. Don't wear sleeves. Yeah. That's like the unspoken rule for linemen.

Have you ever painted your chest at a sporting event? I've never taken my shirt off in public. Just double check. Yeah, I'll put a sweater on in the pool. He's two of the letters.

We don't know how to phrase this question, but you might be in the T and the H. We're go Irish. I'm just go. Rock and roll hall of fames in Cleveland. Yeah. Three of us. Three of us. Yeah. You've been rock and roll hall of fame.

You have no interest in checking that out? No, I don't. You like rock and roll. Yeah, I'd check it out. Yeah. I've been twice. That's a cool building. Yeah. Yeah. I'd check it out. Yeah. We talked about it though, I think. Yeah. You just got me telling the Green Room of Zanies that story. Yeah. We were talking about it recently. So the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a pyramid with multiple floors. Okay. And I went and did not realize this. So I spent all day on the first floor. Which is not much. Yeah.

Well, I mean, the gift shop, that's mostly the gift shop. Yeah. They make announcement. We're closing in 10 minutes and I see people coming downstairs. I'm like, what are they doing up there? And there's like six other floors. Wow. And I just try to go through them in 10 minutes. Wow. That was, he ran through them. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, you would think that you would need to know a little bit about music, you know, and you'd be like, they're not really highlighting a lot of rock and roll bands down here. Yeah. And I don't know, maybe you're not well versed in it. Maybe you are. I don't know. I'm not. Yeah. If he can't figure out that there's other floors, I don't imagine he knows all the bands. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Right. I think he would have known as much as he, whether he went up there or not. It was the same experience. I would have totally enjoyed it if they'd had told me. Like if I had never known, I'm like, oh, that's pretty good. You'd have left it going. It was all right. Yeah. So it's a pyramid, huh? Yeah. It's like a cone. Yeah. Is it a pyramid? No, kind of. Yeah. Yeah. It is more. It's a little more of a cone.

But this was 1997. I went to the World Series. The Indians and the Marlins. Why'd you go up there? Me and my buddy, just like, hey, let's go to the World Series. So we just drove up there and went. Yeah, it's like a pyramid. Yeah, but imagine walking into that building and...

It's all on one floor, huh? At least I was on the biggest floor. Yeah. Pro Football Hall of Fame, also in Ohio. You haven't even given your ticket yet. You're just walking around. And then you're like, what are those people? So they go, sir, can I have your ticket? You're like, I'm not even in the lobby area. You're like, let's get ready to leave. I didn't even get it. I saw it for free. Yeah.

Yeah, I would like that. I mean, at the Country Music Hall of Fame here in Nashville, it's really great. I love that. I like a real music history museum. Well, there's a lot of crossover rock and roll in country, you know? Yeah. Yeah. So you can check it out. Yeah.

You look like one of the things they put behind the glass at the country music. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. They just show you, you're the mannequin. Oh my God. One of the mannequins became real. And just, you walk around. Yeah.

Hey, hey there. That's right. You were in the Country Music Hall of Fame. I was in there, yeah. You know, I was on the show, I guess the first show that, they called it the show that never happened at the Opry when COVID shut down, or COVID shut the Opry down. I was on that lineup. Yeah. So that lineup was hanging in the Country Music Hall of Fame. I don't know if it still is, but...

It was in there. I mean, you were part of a moment in country music history. Yeah. It's pretty crazy. Yeah. Yeah, it's neat. Yeah. Pro Football Hall of Fame, also in Ohio, in Canton. That's where anybody been? No, but those are two pretty big things for Ohio to have. Ohio's got a lot of stuff. Those are two pretty big Hall of Fames. Yep. You could say they're like the mother of Hall of Fames. Yeah.

First official professional football game in Ohio. That's why it's there in Canton. Dayton Triangles versus the Columbus Panhandles. Triangles? Panhandles. How about that? Yeah. Yeah, Dayton Triangles, Columbus Panhandles. They named it after the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Was it Panhandlers? That's what I thought. What was it? Panhandlers? Panhandles, but I guess maybe Panhandles. Yeah.

Like, what is a panhandle? Just the handle of a panhandle? Isn't it Florida? It's Florida. Oh. No, it's Columbus panhandles. Columbus, Ohio? Yeah. Columbus panhandle. Like, literally, like, the handle of a pan. That's what they named the team after? I don't know.

So the origin of the name Panhandles was the Pennsylvania Railroad route from Pittsburgh to Columbus. That was called the Panhandle Division. Is it kind of funny that the first names, you know, now you got to change names because they're offensive. And the first ones were like the least offensive. The triangles. The triangles. And then the Panhandle was just a route, I guess. Yeah.

Apparently. It's funny. Then they changed and they're the ones that they've had because the Indians and is that it? Yeah. Yeah. And what are they now? The Guardians? The Guardians. Yeah. It's a bad name too. And then Redskins and Commanders now. There's been a few. They're in Ohio, right? I thought you just meant because they're in Ohio. Let's go back to the Triangles. Yeah. Let's do. Yeah. The Cleveland Triangles.

Let's get it going. It only lasted 25 years. It's a long time. Yeah. You look back, you're like, oh, barely made it. Then you're like, oh, there's people. There's probably still some people alive that were like, man, I was a big Triangle fan. And everybody's like, what? Triangles? Let's do all shapes. Yeah, the Dayton Triangles. I mean, their logo, it's just a triangle. Yeah.

Why would they be the triangle? It was something like... Triangle Park? Yeah, the nickname of their home field, Triangle Park, which is located at the confluence of the great Miami and Stillwater Rivers in North Dayton. So, yeah, I mean, they didn't... The reasons for these names are not exciting, but they make sense. Yeah, they're all... Yeah, there's like a real... You're like, oh, okay. They didn't put a lot of thought into it. I mean, you couldn't go anywhere back then. So, I think it was...

You know, it's like, I love lap. Yeah. Just naming things. You see, uh, you know, with the Nashville tables. Yeah. We named it that. Cause you know, we were coming up with names. We were sitting at a table and we were like, you know what? This is where it all started. Dayton was probably going to be, we were like, we're there. They're a big town. Yeah. And then it's still a big town, but they're not, you know, you don't think of Dayton, Dayton flyers though.

You don't think Dayton is one of the biggest cities. When I was doing my research for this, you and Dusty both posted on the road at the Dayton Air Museum video. Oh, really? I was with you on yours. I think it was the first one you put out. And y'all both saying yours. I can go through a museum pretty fast because I don't read. Y'all both said that. Dusty said, I just get everything off YouTube.

Yeah, I mean, there's no need to. When you go to a museum and people are just stopping at every little thing. It's like, what are you? It's all. Trying to take it all in. It's all lies. Just move through here. You know what I mean? Just look at the picture. Yeah. Yeah, you're just there because you just want to be inside a building for a little bit. Yeah, you know. Because it's cold outside. Yeah, and there's airplanes. I love to look at an airplane. Yeah. You know. I can't go to a museum with Lucy anymore. She reads.

everything oh yeah and i went with her family to the world war ii museum in new orleans and they read every and i finished i just i split up like i can't yeah so i finished and i'm in the lobby and i called lucy and i go where are y'all and she's like we're at pearl harbor and i was like i mean i'm done with the war yeah i'm in the lobby yeah it was like another two hours before they finished you can't yeah i blazed through it too what'd you do just go eat i just i

I didn't mean that like that. But it came off very... I really... Probably. In my head. Probably did. In my head, I'm just trying to think, well, would you go to a restaurant? I'm going to go hang out, eat somewhere. Yeah.

Yeah. You got a dab at the concession stand. Can we leave this open? They go, sir, we don't really work. It's a work like that at the concession stand. The Ohio State University, third largest in the country, over 60,000 students. Huge, man.

Third winningest football team in college football history. Can you name the other two? Yep. Notre Dame. I guess in Alabama. No, Michigan. Michigan and Alabama, yeah. No, Notre Dame's up there. Notre Dame had some vacated, but they're at the top. What, do you just vacate a win and pretend it didn't happen? It happened. They love to try to do that. It happened. I was there. The last time Ohio State lost to Notre Dame was 1936. That's embarrassing.

Really? MTSU ever play him?

No, so we've never lost. Wait, Ohio State, really? Yeah, I mean, they just dominate Notre Dame. We don't play them very often. We've played like three times in my lifetime. Yeah, since 1936? Yeah. So what have y'all played, like 12 times? Y'all lost every time? I don't think. Has it been 12 times? I don't know. I don't know. It's 1936. You don't bring up any other details about the stat? You're just throwing that out there? That's a tough stat. Yeah, because he did take the time to write that stat down to bring it up to you. Yeah.

Yeah, this is struggling. We've only played like eight times. That's not a lot of time. That doesn't have the season on there. Okay, we played nine times. Nine times. Yeah, I guess y'all don't play a lot. That's a shockingly low amount of time. But two Fiesta Bowls. Different conferences. But I'll be honest with you, these games, the last close game.

Well, I mean, 7-2. This year was close. 7-2. That's how different football was in 1936. 7-2. And you know the headline was like, Barnburner and South Bend. 7-2. It's such a crazy, boring game. Yeah, I don't even. So a safety and a touchdown. One touchdown. Or maybe two field goals and a safety. You never know. It's a 7-2. One point safety.

Anybody wonder why they're called the Ohio State University? Just like arrogance. A lot of universities I feel like are like that, aren't they? Well, they are particular about it. The Ohio State. Yeah. The Ohio State. Why is it? I guess because it was multiple. Distinguish themselves from Oregon State University and Oklahoma State University. OSU. Oh, yeah. But still, if you're saying Ohio State University, it seems like you can still leave the the. You go the OSU.

Yeah, which I've never heard. T-O-S-U-O. Ohio has an official state rock song, which is played at every Ohio State game, and I think most Ohio sporting events. Hang on, Sloopy. Hang on, Sloopy. Hang on. Hang on, Sloopy. Sloopy, hang on. Is that really what it is? Yeah. You don't know that song? No. We're going to go through that. You don't know Hang On. Originally called My Girl Sloopy. Hang on, Sloopy. 1964 song. Hang on.

You don't know hang on sloopy? No. I know the inspiration of the song was Dorothy Sloop. You would know this song. I don't know how you don't know it from just us doing that. No, I'm never. Well, give me some love. Give me some love. The last time we did this, I mean, I mean,

I know that's give me some love and song. Yeah. The worst singing it that I've ever heard. That's perfect. I would have that I never heard that song. Okay. Okay. You got that one. Good. Okay. I'll look at it later. Yeah. And they just harmonized on it. Yeah.

Snoopy, hang on. I thought it was Snoopy. So I'm learning stuff. It's an educational podcast. The B-side of the single is Daddy Woo Woo. You don't know that one? No. Not as much of it. Daddy Woo Woo, Daddy Woo Woo, Daddy Woo Woo. Hang on, Sloopy. Daddy Woo Woo. Daddy Woo Woo's coming, Sloop. Sloop, what is Sloopy? Sloopy is Dorothy Sloop, a jazz singer from Steubenville, Ohio. The song was about her.

My girl Sloopy. I bet you didn't win her over by calling her Sloopy. What's her name? Sloop. Yeah. Yeah. It's Dorothy. Yeah. Hang on, Dorothy. They're like, shut up, Sloopy. Hang on, Sloopy. And they're like, yeah, it seems like a mean bully song. Yeah. Yeah. Hang on, Sloopy, Sloopy, hang on. Like.

You know what it sounds like? You know, what's the thing where like half your face kind of droops off to the side? Bell's palsy. It sounds like you're calling somebody's bells palsy. Sloopy. Hey, Sloopy. Yeah. You think a lot of people yelled at it? Bell's palsy. I will now. Yeah. You just shout out bell palsy people. Sloop dog. Yeah. Yeah.

Did you know Shawshank Redemption was shot in Columbus? Outside of Columbus. Mansfield, Ohio. I'm sorry. Mansfield. Ohio State Reformatory. I saw the outside of it one time. It's pretty fun. It's right next to an actual prison. You did the tour. I did the tour. It used to be a big prison. Now it's shut down. Now it's just for tours about the movie. And it's like a ghost tour place too. So you can do that. But you can see a modern prison building.

right next to it so it's kind of weird to be in this old school prison and you know they're actual prisoners a few hundred yards away but it's very cool do you think they'll let them come over and be part of the haunted house you know like good behavior ones yeah you can scare some kids if you yeah if you're good uh a couple big fast food chains started in ohio wendy's wendy's and arby's

Little solid change. Wendy's is Columbus, I believe. Arby's is Boardman, Ohio. That's tough. That's a tough one. You get bored, you create fast food plus. I'm thinking Arby's. Boredom is, what's they're saying about boredom and invention? You know what I'm talking about? I think you gotta be bored.

To invent something. Worst comes to worst, you'll invent something. Necessity. Yeah. Necessity is the mother of invention. Yeah. Okay. That's right. Not boredom. Yeah.

In 2016, the Columbus Airport was renamed the John Glenn International Airport. Do you know John Glenn? I don't know John Glenn. Is he a role model for you? Well, he's a little bit like Chuck Yeager. Yeah. He did some stuff. Oldest man to ever be in space. That's right. Oh, yeah. And he was the first U.S. astronaut to orbit the Earth. Did you know he was up there? Is that all he is? Yeah. Where are we? They just stick him in a shuttle. Yeah.

Where are the cameras? No, I guess that means Captain Kirk, William Shatner. Yeah. They don't count that one. Right, right. We watched John Glenn take off in school. I remember that.

First or second grade? 1998. 1998. Yeah. Yeah. First or second grade. You were in first or second grade in 1998? Yeah. It was six or seven. I was speaking to a school that day as a representative of News Channel 5. Were you really? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I remember. Was it his school? Yeah.

What were you speaking about? My alma mater. They asked me to come talk about the news business. Your alma mater of your high school? Elementary school? One room school house? No, I'm just saying. Can you not? Graduated summa cum laude. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, I say my alma mater, my only alma mater is my high school. Right. And I think it's kind of fun to say it. I don't think I would. I think it's fun to say your elementary school. If I went to DuPont Elementary, I don't think I'm going, I'm back to my alma mater. DuPont alumnus. Yeah. Yeah.

You're on the monitor. I guess I have more imagination than you guys. I don't know. Yeah. Just talking to the kids about that day you were talking to them. Yeah. About what? I remember being at that school. Just the news business. But I remember that was the day that John Glenn. You're like, guys, bring your credentials. All the time. Bring your credentials. Was this before Al Gore incident? Before. Yeah. Because Al Gore was 2000. Pre-911. Have you ever thought about

I'm sure you have it. I was involved here to take a meeting call, so I was probably over by you, right? Weren't you on Harrisonville or somewhere? I was in Alabama. Oh, yeah, that's right. The Columbus Blue Jackets, why they're called the Blue Jackets? No. I think I always thought it was like a hornet or something, like the yellow jackets. Jackets are blue. They sent the most soldiers to the Union Army during the Civil War. Oh.

Oh, nice. But there's no gray jackets in the South. Interesting. That'd be a good name. The gray jackets? They'd probably look down on you. They'd be a tough mascot. I mean, they did lose, so probably not what you want. Yeah. Some TV shows shot in Ohio. There's a few famous ones that have... Shot in Ohio or take place in Ohio? Take place in Ohio. Okay. Take place in Ohio. Can you name any? Strange to Be There.

Sorry. Leave it to beaver. Is that it? I'm guessing. I'm just taking guesses. I don't know. I don't, I don't know, but that's not on my list. Okay. Relax, dude. It's all good. Well, y'all kept looking for an answer. It's going to be okay. Um, I can't think of any. Keep going. Yeah. What do we got? Uh,

Okay. Yeah. All right. All right. WKRP in Cincinnati. That's probably before y'all's time. I've heard of it. Big for me. Hot in Cleveland. That's more recent. Those that have. On TV land. Yeah. Betty White. It was. Yeah. The Drew Carey show. Cleveland Rocks was their theme song. Yeah. Yeah. That was a good one. I love that show. Okay. All right. Let's get to some famous people from Ohio.

He's from your Saturday Night Live. Yeah. Warren, Ohio. No, but I was in a town where I because I said New York. No, no, no. Where did I meet Dave? No, I would say Dave Rolls from a town. I was saying it as a joke on stage. I was like I was in Peoria and I was like, Dave, girl, I go. He's from here.

And I would tell the city that. And they'd cheer? Well, they'd be like, oh. Like no one knew. He's from Warren, Ohio. And they have the world's largest drumsticks there in Dave Groh Alley to honor him. Oh. Yep. It's pretty fun. World's largest drumsticks. Yeah. It's a kind of cool story. I think it's a small town. Not a lot happens there. And then he makes it big. And some guy said, we should take this.

dingy old alley and make it something great and show that you can accomplish great things. So they named it Dave grow alley. And, um, that's cool. So 21 pilots, Dave girl, appreciate Jason day, Dave Chappelle.

They had the craziest roller coasters. Yeah.

Oh, the Toledo Mudhens. So on MASH, Maxwell Klinger. Yeah. On MASH, he was from Toledo. He always mentioned the Mudhens, his favorite baseball team.

So, um, Toledo Mudhands. I think our friend Doug Bockler gave, I think he sent it through you, this hat and shirt. But when we were in Toledo, we did shows together and there's a Jamie Farr as a restaurant there. And, uh, Mudhands are probably one of the more famous minor league baseball teams. Right. Because of that. Yeah. Because, because of mash. I mean, that's gotta be.

I guess. I've always heard of the Toledo Mudheads. You know how many people watched the finale to match, dude? A lot. A lot. Seven billion people, dude. Yeah. A lot of people did.

Pretty big. Oh, you know, when I was in Liberty, Ohio, the Liberty Township, I went to a Cabela's and I found a bear sign that said, Hey, Bear on it. Oh, really? Yeah. I took a picture of it, but this was a while back. You might want to move on. You didn't buy it? I didn't buy it. We didn't really talk about sports much, but the Big Red Machine was dominant in the 70s for the Cincinnati Reds. Reds, yeah. I mean, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench. Yeah. Those guys were...

the team of the decade in baseball. Right. They've fallen on some hard times lately. Yeah. The Reds have. Things are looking up for them, though. They got some young stars. Look at that. It says, hey, Bear. And he's waving. And the guy's waving. Yeah. Let me see that. I feel like they completely ripped us off. That is me. Okay. Yeah. Look at that thing. That's fun. Hey, Bear. How about that? There you go. All right. Look at that. Cabela's ripped off this whole podcast. Yeah.

All right. All right. Um, that's a good place to stop. Yep. All right. Uh,

Yeah. So I'm this week. I'm in Columbus. I'm in Cincinnati. Yep. Somewhere. Very small. So are you playing the arena where the Blue Jackets play Columbus? I believe so. That's where we saw 21 pilots.
