Hello, everybody. Aaron Weber here, host of the Aaron Land Podcast, reporting from a snowy Nashville, Tennessee, unfortunately. Hello, folks, and hey, Bear. I hope you guys are doing well. Sorry we didn't do an episode this week. We are stuck at home, as you can see.

I think we could have done an episode. I just don't think those guys know how to drive in snow. We got a ton of it. We're not great at it in Nashville, so no one can get anywhere. So sorry to have to not be able to record one this week. We thought we could.

Since it's weather related, we thought we would re-air the episode on weather. So check that out. It was a fun one. Dusty's not in it, but there was more of Aaron back then, so it all kind of evens out. I hope you're having fun. I hope you're staying safe, staying warm. I was in St. Paul, Minnesota this past weekend. I had a good time at Laugh Camp Comedy Club. Thank you to everybody that came. And this weekend I'm in Bozeman, Montana at Last Best Comedy. I'm coming out to Montana. I cannot get away from this weather.

It was feels like negative 26 when I left St. Paul. And I thought, oh man, I can't wait for a little relief back in Nashville. And here's, this is Nashville. This is what we've been dealing with. So thank you for listening. Sorry we can't do a regular podcast this week. We'll be back and better than ever.

next week when we do another podcast. So check out Dusty Slay special, by the way, that came out. Nate Land Podcast gets a special thanks at the end. That's very cool. Working man. It's so good. We're going to watch it now. Eleanor, can we watch Dusty or Peppa? Oh, okay. Well, so we're not going to watch it now, but eventually when we're done with Peppa, we're going to watch Dusty. So check out Dusty special. Check out this one. Tune in next week. Sorry about that. We will be back next week.

Be safe. God bless. And, you know, just have a great time. What's up, everybody? Welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber. Welcome, folks. Hello, folks. I said that almost accidentally. I forget. If I have something to do, I kind of forget. Okay.

We are pre-recording this episode because I will be in California at the One Night Only Tour. Already just happened, so hope you were there. So, yeah, just so you know that we are pre-recording it. We actually still have some comments, though. Breakfast went through and just grabbed, you know, some ones that weren't timely. Yeah. Just critical of us. Timeless ones. Picked a big one. Opened the gate with a big one.

One comment too Someone said I wore my watch backwards Because the dial is on this side That was one of those Facebook things that you see It's so you don't hit the Siri button When you bend your wrist And I was hitting it a lot So you put the dial back here And it never touches it And then you can just change the screen Now your sleeve is going to touch it

Uh, it's not enough of a problem, but I mean, hitting it, especially when I golf, if I wore this, but any other time it just always hits Siri. Siri, Siri just pops up, man. All the time. Yeah. You know what I started doing, you know, with the new iOS, you can program tapping the back of the phone. Yeah.

to be Siri. You can do it to anything, but yeah, I said it to Siri for a while. I tapped the back of the phone accidentally a lot. You talked to Siri quite a bit? No. Well, I didn't mean to. I would just tap it and then by accident and Siri would pop up. I don't know. I feel like with Siri, you either don't do it or that's all you do. Like that's how someone talks to it. They either, I don't ever ask Siri anything. I don't either. But anybody else that does Siri,

My wife talks to Siri quite a bit. Our voice texting. I get audio to text. Yeah. I get that a bit. Who does that? David Spade. A lot of audio text. The first time I got one from him, I was like, oh, I guess I'm listening to this tech. I don't mind it. It's not as bad as you think. Yeah. It's like just saying it, and it doesn't take as much time, and you just do it. I actually...

don't mind it as much as I thought I would. But at first I was like, what are we doing? What are we doing here? We've gotten comments that way. And they're like, this is too long to type out. So I'm just going to tell you. And then I have to just play clip after clip after clip. It's like the worst story ever. Yeah. And they know who they are. Yeah. Dr. Sefdar Khan.

Dr. Safdar Khan. S-A-F-D-A-R. Safdar. Safdar. Safdar. Safdar. Dr. Khan. Dr. Khan. Doctor. Doctor. Doctor. Doctor. Fantastic podcast. I love listening to you, Banjo and Aaron, at the beginning of every operation day before I perform complex spinal surgery. Dude, we are... I mean, he is... What do you listen to? Nate Land Podcast.

What's that? Are you the main guy or is there other guy? That's what they, then they ask him, or you're just the guy that's in here now. And there's another guy. He's like, no, no, I'm the main. Oh yeah. When's the real doctor coming out? Oh, that's me. I'm Dr. Khan. I'm Dr. Seth Arkon. Hello folks. Hello folks. He yells it into your open back. Hello folks. I perform complex spinal surgery. It makes me laugh and puts me into a relaxed frame of mind before I start the day operating on sick patients.

Once during an especially complicated surgery when the room was very tense and we were under extreme stress, I just yelled, penguin, to everyone's surprise. I proceeded to tell the OR team the story and had them play the clip on the OR monitors, and within minutes, everyone began chuckling. The room became noticeably less tense, and I'm grateful to report that patient did very, very well.

Thanks again for the unbelievable work you guys are doing. Anytime you come up to Columbus in the future, I'd love to host you in the shoe on the field for an OSU Big Ten football game. Wow. I tell you what, a guy that's doing that kind of surgery, he's got tickets on the field. Yeah. I mean, that's a guy you want in your life, you know.

What if we, he said, sadly, the patient did not make it, but we were so much more relaxed. I was hoping to introduce you guys to the patient, but obviously with the chaos that was going on, we were. We got real sloppy after that. And it was a real problem. Pinewood. That's unbelievable. You know, we just did the episode you just watched about clutch performances. That's a clutch performance right there. Doing something like that, man. The amount of pressure that takes to just be, you know,

You got to do hours and hours of it. You want to be someone's first guy? You think they ever say that? Right before you go under, they go, hey, you're my first time. You're my first surgery. They just whisper it to you, right? The last thing you hear, what was the last thing you heard? Hey, I've never done this before. I remember I signed an autograph once, and I told the person, I go, this is the first autograph I've ever signed. Yeah. And so I imagine that he does that too. This is the first. Yeah.

He goes, I'm freaking out, man. And he's like, what? And then you're just gone. Yeah, that's awesome. Sore Sogorb. S-O-R-E-S-O-G-O-R-B. Sogorb. Sore Sogorb. Is that a real name? Sore Sogorb? You think that is his real name? Poor guy. Sore? Yeah. Sore Sogorb. I hope it is his name. Oh, man. Sore, get in here.

You have to say the last name or you just go sore. And he goes here. Every time. I don't think you need to be here. Sore. He just sits there and the teacher's like, which one? So Gorb. Oh, I thought it was the other sore.

I play your podcast while working, illustrating on my computer, sometimes I spend large amounts of time without saving my progress because I forget to do so and then my computer crashes and I lose all my work. Now I click save every time I hear Nate say unbelievable or every time he roasts bland bread. I haven't lost a single piece of work ever since. That's got to be frustrating.

I mean, everybody knows not saving something. Golly. All the time. When I've written out shows like, what's your way of my hat? Nate Bargetti show from the failed. We sent a bunch of these hats to Nigeria. Is that where they send the hats? Things that don't go good. President McCain hats too. Atlanta Falcons, Superbowl. Like when they had none, they lost to the Patriots. Uh,

But yeah, you type something out. You're just in the groove of doing it, and then it just goes away. And then the next time is never as good. That's the gist of it. It's not that good. I lost it. Miriam Gregory.

I've been a fan of the podcast since day one. Is that, you think that's right? These names all feel made up. Yeah. Miriam Gregory. It feels like almost we were short on comments and then. So Brian went in. And boat ramp went in and then just said, just took. Soar Sigorm. Soar Sigorm.

Miriam Gregory. Oh, it's the worst name I've ever heard. Oh, man. Yeah, yeah. That's a real name. I don't think he's going to turn around by the way we...

Sore is different. Maybe soiree? Next one's soda. It's French. Seven. These are all just George Costanza names that he came up with. Sore. Sore is the goal. Oh, it's beautiful. It is, yeah. Sore. I got a good idea what that guy looks like.

I feel like you can picture a Soar. You can picture him in your head. I feel like I've never, I don't know what they look like, but I think I could pick one. Oh, right. If you said there's 100 people standing in the crowd, one of them's named Soar, I'd be like, I feel pretty good. I could figure out who he is. If you lined up Dr. Khan, Soar Sikor, and me, Miriam Gregory, I could tell you which one was Soar. I'll tell you that much. Would you Soar male or female?

Sora feels like... It's gender neutral, man. If it's Sorae, Sorae would be a lovely lady. You know, you don't think Sorae's a... These are all... I don't know. These names are... These are our fans, Aaron, that you're laughing at.

sorry that's the worst thing i've ever heard sorry well it's not if it's so race so gore so race so gore like a ukrainian ballet dancer or something well that they could be big so race so gore doesn't sound as bad that's what i'm saying that sounds like a ballet dancer for the eastern europe so ray so race so gore that actually sorry

is a beautiful name now. And I'm going to name my next daughter that. We don't have another daughter. Soray Bargetzi? Yeah, Soray Bargetzi. I feel like if I find some little girl sitting out on the side of the road and she lives with us, I feel like that's how you get a Soray in your family. They're not born into that family. You find them and they're put with that family. Yeah.

Miriam Gregory. Have we read this one? No. No, we started. I've been a fan of the podcast since day one. I just want to say thank you for everything you've taught me. Since hearing all of your bombing stories and insults, I've been a lot better at taking myself less seriously. I recently had the chance to sing on TV for the first time, and I've never been more confident. I felt like it'd be okay to look stupid, and it would be a good story until after. But it went great, so thank you. Congratulations, Nate, Aaron, and Worried Whistle. I love you all.

We need to hear her. We need to get a clip of that. Yeah. Yeah. See it on TV. I'd love to see that. What is she saying? I don't know. It's crazy. Jonathan Redd. That's a normal one. Is that more up your alley? You can't handle the taste of the fans we have around the world. You need to have Alabama, Jonathan Redd, Johnny Redd. Johnny Redd. Does that make you feel better, Aaron? You feel like home? You and Johnny Redd went boat fishing. Yeah.

It does sound like we try to fix the problem. I'm just kidding. It's Brian. It's like these names are getting a little too... They might catch on to me after the Miriam Grigor. This podcast seems like the elaborate plan of two best friends to get their other friend to eat an excessive amount of donuts. And when they finally do, they will end the podcast. They have been talking about it since episode one or two. And I'm sure they thought Aaron would have done it by now. Love the show. It's the best part of my week. Goodbye, folks.

Johnny Redd. I've done it, just not on the show. Johnny Redd. He does it regularly. We can't get him on. It's like Bigfoot. Can't really catch him on tape. There's a lot of fuzzy images. We put up trail cams. We put up trail cams. Because he goes and eats it in the woods. It's a shame. We can't figure out why, but the trail cams can never get him. We don't know why, but it never can. All we know is two boxes go in and no boxes come out. We think he's littering as well.

Yeah, we're going to do it. That's going to be a special one. We got to find the right time to do it. Like I said, I don't think we can eat on air. I don't know if there's ever going to be a right time for me personally. I think we film it and then we filmed it and then we put it out. I don't think there's ever a wrong time for you personally to do that. I had Krispy Kreme this past week. I have it a lot. I'm starting to feel it now, though.

I can feel like my blood's getting thicker. You feel that? It's like maple syrup. Yeah. Like you just, like I said, I eat so bad. You're like, I feel like my blood's not moving as good as it should be. And I, and I don't think I should feel that. Yeah. I think about it. I don't know. It didn't stop me, but I remember going, I got to stop this. This is arm feels weird.

Grant Weldon. I teach fifth graders and I have to switch classes because the teacher rotates now instead of students rotating. Oh, wow. So this teaches students stay in the room and the teachers move. Yeah. Is that because of COVID? When I go into the class, I enter saying, hello, folks. And they say, hello, Mr. Weldon. It's so sweet. And they don't know why I do it, but I love it every time. That's cool. That's cool, man. Yeah.

Good for you. Good for you. That's so, so they're just switching, moving around, almost spreading COVID around, trying to give it to all the kids. They don't. One teacher has it. We don't tell them which one and they see if they can guess. Mike Pugh. Hello folks. When my wife and I married in 1978, there was a still law on the books in Michigan that the clerk had to ask, are you an idiot?

Thinking we were Bargetti-level comedians, we both said, I'm not, but this one is, while pointing our fingers at each other. Of course, the clerk did not crack a smile. I can only assume she had heard that one before. Keep up the great work. Also, we love to see you guys live. We just bought our son and his wife a ticket to the L.A. Drive-In Show. Mike Pugh will be at the drive-in show. He was at the drive-in. Oh, he was. Oh, he was at the drive-in because we're recording this. Hope you enjoyed it because we left early. Okay.

Are you an idiot? I'm not against that. Crazy law in Michigan. An idiot is technically a mentally challenged person that maybe shouldn't be getting married. I'm not against it. I asked both of y'all before we did this podcast, are y'all idiots? And they said, because I am. And I don't need more than me.

That's not a, you know, not a, just ask the person you're about to marry. Just heads up real quick. Are you an idiot by any chance? I don't think it's on the books anymore because I think people feel like mentally challenged people should be able to get married if they choose. Are you stupid? A little more, you know, publicly acceptable. Yeah.

If you are a big Nateland fan, you know that we've been drinking AG1 for a couple of years. We all started drinking AG1 daily and really feel like we're doing something good for our daily health. That's because AG1 is a foundational nutrition supplement that supports your body's universal needs like gut optimization, stress management, and immune support.

Since 2010, AG1 has led the future of foundational nutrition.

continuously refining their formula to create a smarter, better way to elevate your baseline health. Not only did I replace my multivitamin with AG1, but I love that every scoop also includes magnesium and B vitamins for energy support. It takes under a minute and costs less than $3 a day, and it tastes great. Since we travel...

I've got some hard candy in my pocket. Yeah.

When she says, oh gosh, sorry, and started picking up all the change, I would... If she said something, if she didn't say anything, I would have just picked it up. But if she said something like that, I would have probably just been like, just let her have it. If too many people start paying attention, I mean, this is a big commotion, so then people start looking, I probably would have done what he did and just been like, it's over. That's one of those things that's easy to be like, oh, I would have said this, but in the moment, you just think, this is not worth it. Is it worth... It's how quick do you think...

I will, I a lot of times think about what would happen. Like if I say it's mine and that she disagrees, now I want an argument over change on the floor. Right. And so do I want to be in that argument? The only reason I feel like you should do it is to keep her from feeling awkward and scrambling to pick up all this. No, no, no. That was on me. Yeah. Well, you help her. But she dropped the purse.

He dropped the coins. I would have done exactly what this guy did. Oh, he dropped it. He goes, no, no, that's fine. Yeah, $3.25 is a lot. $12. Yeah. And everybody loves to have quarters. Yeah, quarters are, that's about the only change you want. Yeah. I'll tell you one time, I was driving down the road, and there was a homeless guy on the side, and I had all this change. So he's going up asking for money, and I go,

I don't have any bills, but I got all this. Do you want all this change? And he's like, yeah, sure. I give him this big handful of change. And he goes, thanks. And then I watch him just walk away. He takes about 10 steps and he just throws all the change. I love it. Yeah. That's pretty good. He didn't want that change. No. Well, how much do you think you gave him? Probably $3 worth. In quarters? But not in quarters. No, not in quarters. He would have kept the quarters for sure. You kept the quarters. That's right.

NRS Automotive. Is this a company?

NRS Automotive Since the podcast is a clean podcast Does it automatically rule out the possibility Of having some of your potty mouth comic friends as guests For example Big Jay It does not rule it out If Big Jay was here I don't necessarily want to do a Zoom So that's why you know It's kind of got to be people here But if Jay comes to town You know I mean Jay could probably stay with us And if he stayed with us I'd have him on the podcast I would tell him You know it's like hey we try to be clean If he's not I would just beep stuff out

is honestly what I would do. But, I mean, Big J's done TV. Big J's... It's close, though. Big J would be tough. I mean, I know Big J's done some late night shows and it's hard. But Big J's so funny. We're talking about random things. But there's something that's even harder to keep...

guys like that clean is when they talk you know especially because the bonfire which is a him and soda so good and they but they're and they're just talking so talking and like this is where it's hard to control i always think if you're trying to stop cursing or if you if you say you're say you a lot of people regular life could curse too they feel they curse too much

in just regular life. It's start weaning it out in some regular conversations. Just think, I'm going to go to this house and I'm not going to curse. And that way you can learn to hold it back. And that's how you practice it. And so, you know, but yeah, I would have Jay on. Obviously, I mean, we'd be thrilled. Get Laura on, you know? Get rid of, you know, who? Hello, welcome to Nate Land. This is Big Jay Oakerson, Laura Bargesa.

What did anyone notice if you didn't say that? I don't know. Who's Jay? Who's Laura? Both offensive. Ben Kissam. Hi, guys. Question for an aspiring comic in Denver. I haven't done stand-up since March. I was about a year in at the time and starting to find my voice on stage.

Cases are rising here again. I just heard from a public official they don't really anticipate the city being open again until next June. If you were faced with this as a newer comic, how would you handle it? Would you pursue something else like a podcast or YouTube videos? Or should I just move to the South where coronavirus isn't real in hopes of getting on stage sooner? Thanks for all that you guys do. I would say, you know, a year in, here's what I will honestly, my brutal experience

you're not finding your voice. That's just my honesty with being a year in. You could think you're finding some voice, but I promise you're not. It's going to change. And then you're going to be in five years and be like, that was insane. But I think it's good to think you find your voice. It's good to go through all this. Yeah, during this time, it's tough.

You could start a podcast. You could do some YouTube stuff. There's other different ways you could try to be creative. That's definitely not a bad thing to go do. You can try to go to different places and move. You got a great scene in Denver, though. Honestly, I'd probably wait it out unless you wanted to move. I mean, just go down and try to stay somewhere if you want to go try to get up. But I mean, you got a great scene in Denver, man. Denver's a Denver's a hot spot to be for comedy.

I don't think anybody's getting up, so I don't think you're missing anything. I mean, we're doing some, they're doing like some social distance shows at places, but you're, you're competing also with so many people that have been doing it longer and no one's getting on stage. So your competition is, you know, guys, I've done it for 17 years. You will be trying to get on the same show. I'm probably trying to get on. We're all trying to get on these shows.

So I don't know if I'd make a big move. I think it's not bad to do, you know, I know guys are doing Zoom shows or make some videos, try to do some stuff creative.

Right, stuff. It stinks, dude. This is just a terrible time. So I wouldn't do anything that's going to be hard to walk back. Also don't know if anywhere is reliably 100% going to stay open all the time. If you went to Atlanta, that stuff's going to close. Everything's popping up and closing. You don't want to move and then it's all going to close. It's like week by week here, man. It could change any minute. Go visit the city if you want to, but that's the only thing. I wouldn't make any sudden changes.

sudden big moves because of that, but good luck to you and don't give up on it. Don't quit. This is, this is one of the times that it's, you're going to think, you know, this would be a perfect excuse. So you can tell everybody, I tried it. I just didn't hold out. Everybody's having to hold out. So you hold out and just keep writing, keep trying to come up with stuff. And then when you're ready, just hit the ground running and, uh, never stop.

Oh my god.

I mean, I already love this. She is the type that can fall for anything if I say it with a straight face. She's a regular Mick Movicki. I'm missing the beach. She says, oh, yeah, I can totally see that. They don't look much alike, but you can just tell he's Nate's dad by the way he acts.

I couldn't explain Aaron's relation, so he is difficult. He's officially just your neighbor who's quarantined and has nothing else to do but drop by and talk on the podcast. I don't know how long I can keep this joke going, but I'm literally dying every time I start the show, and I would bet good money you guys could read this comment on the show and say my full name, and she still wouldn't catch on. Please give it a shot, and let's see how long I can make my wife think Brayden is Nate's dad. Love the show. Highlight of my week. John Hance.

see if she heard that one hello folks john hance here john hance here uh that sounds like a good sports reporter john hance john hance hello folks john hance here uh like phil name yep then maybe that's why i think that because it's because it's like phil nance's name is phil nance right uh yep no it's not phil nance jim jim nance

Phil Nance. That sounds like one of the... Phil Nance. What's up with breakfast is whistling. Oh, that's a brutal one. So, all right, we're doing it. So this is the... That was a good... We got good comments. Yeah. I know people probably talk about the last week's show, but...

I thought of another clutch performance. Yeah. Paulo nails two home runs for that little boy in the hospital. And then what about the next week? He had to catch one in his hat. Even more clutch. I mean, how crazy is that? Yeah. What do you get? I'm not even a home run hitter. One's one thing. Where do you get two from? It's a great, one of my favorite Seinfeld moments. Yeah, it's so funny. Is Kramer sitting in there with that kid.

Can I get that some orange juice? He goes after the first hit. He drinks this. By the way, let it be known, Kramer's a stranger to this kid. And this kid has let his, they let the, I mean, a stranger sitting there alone at the hospital with their child as they watch the Yankee game. And the kid was in, he controlled the whole room.

It's unbelievable. I love it when Kramer said, I need you to do something for me, though. And he's like, I know. Get out of this bed and walk someday. He's like, yeah, yeah, but I really need that car. Yeah, that'd be great. But weather is changing. Temperatures are changing. It's cold here today in Nashville. Last week was good. This week's cold. We have no front door. I explained that last week. If you listen to it, our front door is gone. It's still very funny to me.

To think they knocked on the door. Just for someone to knock on your door and then ask for the door is one of the wildest things I've ever been asked. You know, anything, anything could have asked for anything. If you told me what you want me to take, I could have almost said anything. Just don't take the door, obviously, because we need the door. And that's what they came for. So weather's changing and we wanted to do an episode on weather. You guys want to see if we can, you know, can these guys talk about weather for a minute?

An hour and a half? I don't know. Maybe. I think so. We talk about a lot of dumb stuff for a long time. That's the point of all this. That's why we like coming up with these weird things because it makes it, you know, you need stuff to go off of. We've got a weatherman on the podcast.

I mean, so that helps. You did it? I did it once in college. You did it professionally? That's all it takes. That's more than enough. You think you did it the way Miriam sang on TV? She said I sang on TV. You posted that video of Bates doing it in college, but I worked at a TV station for a long time. Why did you do it? Were you filling in? No, it was a class we took. It was like a broadcasting class. So that wasn't on TV? No, I don't think that was on TV. Oh.

That kind of takes the thunder out of it. I've got some clips of me doing the news in college that I could bring in. Yeah? Bring it in. But, to show you. Yeah, I think the fans are dying for it. I... I'm watching George's home videos. He's trying to change you? What are you, like, eight?

Were they on TV? Yeah, on TV. The college TV? Yeah. Well, but in Murfreesboro, like throughout. Yeah, so everybody saw it at home. Yeah. Did your family see it?

uh they didn't live in murfreesboro so they couldn't but i recorded it and that's why i have it now v chest like you're what was the tv thing that y'all you did y'all both to it the circle network circle network oh it's so good describe how you so were you on it too yeah so he hosted one of them uh so and uh all right take it easy uh he goes yeah i created it oh okay sorry uh

So they did some standup on a TV shows, TV taping, did it at Zany's. Yeah. All real done taping cameras. I mean, you know, how would I watch it? What would you tell people? Go to channel 4.5, but you got to have, uh, that's the, but that's a go to channel 4.5. You're like, that seems weird. Never heard of that being called a channel, but you got to have an antenna. Oh, you got to get your TV remote and switch the input settings to, uh,

Well, I guess it depends on how your settings are. Usually to TV antenna. Yeah. And then turn to channel 4.5. And then look up when it airs. Right. That's all. Oh, that's... Yeah. It's not too many hoops. So basically... That's locally though. 4.5. Get your... So if you're in Nashville. Yeah. And you want to watch them on the Circle Network, get rid of your cable. Here's the first thing I need you to do. Yeah. You got to have over there... Throw your DirecTV out in the yard.

switch to tv i see real scrambling you're like well that's not good yeah hang on go to you know we're four you know channel four and channel five is i need you to go right in the middle gotta have an antenna though oh yeah you gotta have an antenna yeah well it wasn't it didn't air in nashville for a while yeah at first i made my television debut didn't know about it

Couldn't watch it in the city that it's based in. For a Grand Ole Opry channel. That's what the network is. Oh, so there's people that just know how to get to this channel. There's an audience that watches this channel because it's the Grand Ole Opry channel. But it's very funny. It wasn't on in Nashville originally. It was just an awkward kind of rollout because it's a brand new station. So it was weird. Now it's if you go...

Most places around the Southeast and even some of the Midwest, it's on. You'll see it on the cable listing. But at the time, it was like, I couldn't tell. I made my TV debut. I couldn't watch it anymore. Did anybody text you that saw it randomly? One person told me, but no, I didn't get paid that much. I had one thing in Boston on Nessun, New England Sports Network. And they did a comedy show. We just did jokes about sports.

It was shot in Boston. Kid and Play. Maybe Kid? I don't know. Jason? Huh? Jason Kid? Who's the comic? No, Kid... Is it Kid and Play? Kid Cudi. No, from the movie in the 80s. Yeah, Kid and Play. Kid and Play. And one's a comedian. I didn't know that. Yeah. I think the... The one with the big high top? Yeah, the lighter skin one. Are you allowed to say that? I don't know. But...

the Blackman County. Uh, it's the, yeah. So I don't, yeah. Who's, is he, that's kid. Anyway. So he wasn't even there. I don't know what I'm talking about. Uh, no. Uh, he, uh, he's a comedian and he went on out of, I had to follow him. And, uh,

He had a rough go at it. Let me tell you that. I don't think he's much of a comedian. And so he was pretty bad. He was just jumping around. It was like they told him, do stuff on sports. And he's like, every joke's kind of just got sports attached to it a little bit. I was flying the other day. They had a sports game on TV. Anyway, can you believe they're selling the peanuts and the thing? We were watching the sports. Everybody had the playoffs wrong. Can you...

What is up with these flight attendants? You know, this girl comes by, peanuts, and then some guys watching football towards the front. And then...

Like that's the only way it's going to – that's the only way he's including sports. Because the other day – my wife's cheating on me. We were watching baseball. It doesn't matter. And the other day I go home and my kid, who doesn't like sports, but he just keeps saying – and they're like, I don't know if these are sports-related jokes. They're not really based in sports stuff, right? And he's like, kind of.

I've done that. He has some themed stand-up shows here in town. Like, do all Christmas jokes. So you're like... Anyway, last Christmas, I was at McDonald's. And I went to the drive-thru. You do your big... It had nothing to do with Christmas. I...

I do love, because I do it too, I always love the thing that comics do is if you got a seasonal joke, how to get it back around. Because you can do it, I mean, it's in peak form when you got some great Christmas joke and you're like, Christmas season's coming. You have about...

Probably November to February that you could say Christmas just happened or Christmas season's coming. Where it's the joke that seems timely. And then those other months, you got to like, you know, what's your favorite holiday? Mine? Christmas. And then you got to find a new way to do it. I love seeing that. I worked with a comic who I worked with during the summer and every show he opened up with a joke about how hot it was. And then I worked with him.

several months later the winter and i was like i'm looking forward how is he good he goes man it's cold out remember how hot it was in the summer yeah yeah yeah did i tell the the ponytail thing yeah i love that i've told it on this i've i think so i don't know if on the podcast yeah i'll tell if i've told it i'm sorry my favorite of that kind of moment was uh

The, when I, for, when I was first starting, I started, I moved to Chicago first. And, uh, when I would come home, I would then do, I never did comedy before here, like I said, but then when I came back, I would be the guy that came back from Chicago. Do I'm doing comedy in Chicago. Um,

And so we'd go to the bar car, which was this open mic. And I'd always, every time I came back, I would go up and do those shows. So this one guy, sometimes I would, and one time I came, when I came back in between Chicago and New York, it might've been during that time, but I live, I kind of just lived here for four months to save money to move to New York.

And so I'm back here. We're doing the bar card. This guy has a ponytail. He just did. We're open micers. So no one, everybody only really has maybe three to five minutes of material. And so we're all doing our jokes and he, he would just do jokes on ponytails. That's all he did. He had a ponytail. I don't remember the jokes, but he's like talking about having a ponytail, what it's like having a ponytail full five minutes of just ponytail material. So the next week he shows up, his ponytail is gone.

He has no ponytail. He cut it off. And so we're like, what are you going to do? All you've ever done is ponytail stuff. And he was like offended that we asked. He goes, I have other stuff. And we go, okay. So they brought him up. He opens it. First joke he does is not about the ponytail. It's about nothing. It bombs hard. And then he goes, so I used to have a ponytail. And then just does all his ponytail stuff.

his ponytail's gone that was his best stuff so he he's like i can't belt you know i love that it was that quick the first joke is about nothing he just got and he goes all right so i used to have a ponytail he just does his ponytail material which it like doesn't work the other one i did i ever talk about this i don't remember uh the happy birthday to rue like they ever say that story

It's probably offensive. I don't know. It's not my joke. But when I was in New York, this comic, he used to run... We would run at Improv, a Broadway comedy club now. Dustin Chafin, who's about to have a... Actually has a Zoom...

He has a Zoom special out that he's putting out actually now because this is coming out next week. I think it's coming pre-sales was just last Friday. And so it's coming out now. Zoom comedy with Dustin Chafin. Go to his, yeah. So it's not that, but it's Twitter.

And so, uh, I'll promote it to you next week, but he, uh, I started with him. Look, I'm the main first podcast right there. Uh, he's got a podcast. I'll leave you with this. And so Dustin is who, uh, I started with Dustin was a huge part of my comedy career and helped me do it. Uh, so he, he does, uh, I don't know if any of this is it, but we're trying to find it online if you're looking, but I'll, I'll, I'll promote it next week, but he's a comic that started with and, uh,

He is putting out a Zoom comedy of 2020. It's a different way because it's the way we have to do it now. So anyway, so we'd run a show at midnight. And it was this edgy, uncensored show, which I always had to do and I never needed to be censored. So this other guy would run a show uptown.

And he would always just come and like, if his show wasn't like doing good, he'd be like, hey, he'd like call me. And I was just running the show. I was helping Dustin run the show. And I remember he'd call me and be like, hey, can I bring, we have like only three people show up for the show tonight. I'm going to bring them down to your show. And then can I get on stage? So he'd like barter with me.

Maybe a couple times you'd be like, okay. But we were like, Dustin's show was like, I mean, it was like a packed, it would be midnight, dude, and we would be sold out in this upstairs room that was probably my favorite room in New York. It was just this box, and it was just, I mean, when it was packed, dude, you would murder in there. It was like,

It was so awesome. And we'd all just be there. These are the stuff that I miss about New York. You'd be out there until 2 in the morning doing these shows. Just so much fun. A bunch of comics hanging out. Everybody kind of ends their night there after they do shows. And so he would always call me and be like, and we'd start being sold out. He's like, I got two people, and I'm going to bring them down. Can I get up? And you're like, I'm like, dude, we're sold out. I don't need, but he's just trying to get stage time done.

And I remember he always had to ride the train down with these people. These are just audience members that he's like, just come ride with me. I'll take you to another show. And they're, you know, it's almost like the quarter thing falling where you're just kind of like, all right, I guess I'm riding with this guy. And then you're just on the way down. So anyway, so he had this joke and it's probably insulting. I don't, you know, it's, it's, it's a very hacky joke. So anyway,

But he would say, if you went and had your birthday party at a Chinese restaurant, how would they, you know, they sing it. Happy birthday to Rue. Happy birthday to Rue. Like, that's the joke that they don't say. They say R's.

And so he would start it, and he'd be like, all right, who's got a birthday in here? One night, we were not... There was not that many people there. And he goes, all right, who's got a birthday in here? And no one raises their hand. He goes, nobody has a birthday in here? Nobody. And no one's raising their hand. And he goes, you. You have a birthday? He goes, my birthday was two weeks ago. He goes, what about you? He's like, my birthday's like seven months from now. He's like, nobody has a... And I mean, it's almost...

It's just like, everybody's like looking like, just do the joke, man. Like, and he's like, nobody has some, you know, some guy finally just goes, I mean, my cousin's birthday's next week. He's like, all right. All right. So if you took your cousin to have birthday at a Chinese restaurant, here's how they would sing it. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear customer. Yeah.

And then everybody's like, okay. And then he's like, all right, good night, everybody. And he leaves. And so I just remember...

I remember thinking, I don't want to ever do a joke where I have to have someone in the crowd go with it. It sounds like he didn't even need that part of the joke. No, he doesn't at all. Hey, you ever been to a Chinese restaurant and here's how they sing happy birthday to you? Yeah, right. I mean, you could do anything, but he just doesn't. You're like, I mean, the joke's already just disgustingly hack. Like, it's not a good joke. But it's like the idea that he has to bring someone in on it.

Then someone finally, like, I mean, dude, people could just tell, like, someone just say it's your birthday. This guy's not leaving. And he's trying to leave. Speaking of Jay, Jay had a story. Angel Salazar, he was in Scarface.

He's a comedian. And he would always do that where he'd have some girl about Angel Salazar. And he would have he would always talk to someone and be like, hey, big guy. Hey, big guy. He talked to like so he pointed to you. He's like, hey, big guy. Hey, what's up? And so he does it. And he always goes, hey, big guy. And he goes, hey, big guy. And no one's the guy's not saying anything. He goes, big guy. And the guy's like looking around. He goes, hey, big guy.

He's like, oh, you mean me? He goes, hey, big guy. He's like, I mean, I'm not that big of a guy. He's like my size. He's like, I'm not that big of a guy. I thought you'd be. When you say big guy, it's usually someone bigger. But Angel never talks to him. He just goes, hey, big guy. And he finally has to go, okay. He goes, you got a girlfriend? He's like, I don't. He goes, I don't have a girlfriend right now. He goes, you got a girlfriend? He goes, I don't have a girlfriend. He goes, okay.

Hey, big guy, you got a girlfriend? The guy's like, I don't, I got a girlfriend. He goes, eh? And then he said something about your girlfriend, sex with your girlfriend. The joke is like that. It's just an insult. But he just, he wouldn't let the, I mean, just the guy to go, I don't,

the guy's talking more than he is. I don't, I don't know how to be of a guy. Hey, big guy. Hey, big guy. He goes, I don't, I'm not that, you know, you talking about me? Hey, big guy. He just, he's, it's a guy that's done this joke.

10,000 times and is like a robot that just doesn't... He just can't get out of it. Everyone's big guy. Everyone's big guy. Hey, big guy. Hey, big guy. Yeah, it's like, shut him off, man. The other one... Someone getting in that mode was... Who was the movie voice guy? Michael Winslow? No. Pablo Francisco. Yeah, Pablo Francisco. I mean...

Sadly, if you can watch a clip of that, you don't have to show the clip. I don't want to show it. But if anybody wants to look it up, they can. But he has major drug problems and had just lost it on stage.

And so his thing, right, was always like, hello, I am movie phone. And I mean, this dude made a career. I mean, it is, he's very talented, obviously can do a bunch of stuff, but would just tour around, sell out these places for a long time, made tons of money, but had major drug problems. And he was at a punchline in Sacramento. I was there the week after him. Oh, really? And he was on stage in his video of it. And he's just so whacked out on just so much stuff.

I mean the opener has to go back up there and he keeps going hello I am no they want to hear it now they and everybody he's like you got to go man you know you don't know what's good he's like hello he just keeps doing the same movie phone joke over that was the sad one but it's like crazy to be like you're just in this routine that that's what I'm always scared of being

I'm going to just be up there in Starbucks and I went into iced coffee with milk. And I'm just like in a corner, just going ice coffee, whipped cream, whipped cream, whipped cream, whipped cream. I'm just keep saying it over and over in some corner. Brian comes out. I was like, Hey Nick, you should probably leave the state. No, no, no. They want to hear it. I'm going to get myself out of this. I'm going to get myself out of this. Here we go. That's what we like. He still knew that he was kind of bombing while he was still trapped in that loop. It's kind of fascinating. That's,

There's not a comic on earth that doesn't think the crowd's bad. I'll get them. Yeah. I'll get them. I mean, that's every comic. You go, hey, this crowd's terrible, man. And you go, I mean, I'm sure they're terrible for y'all, but I'll get them. And then usually you go, oh, no, they're terrible. And then you go off and go,

I know what you're thinking, but I promise they're terrible. And then you go, I got them. And then usually one person gets them and is like, they were great. I thought they were great.

They were filming this, what was the show? Was it Storm Chaser? Twister? No. Yeah, yeah. It was a documentary. I thought that was real. No, there was a TV show about storm chasing. And during it, it showed them how they all lived. They went and stayed in these hotels and they'd get up every day and go chase tornadoes. And it was on Discovery.

It was awesome. And during it, they were filming, they were trying to film this 3D, like they had a car that they're trying to basically get in a tornado and then film this IMAX version of this tornado. And so one guy that was a part of the storm chasers was with them being like, hey, we're trying to shoot this as a movie. Can we go with you? And so they made a car. The guy had a car that was designed to like, when the tornado is over it, it goes down to the ground. It was almost like you could get no wind under it to lift it.

And the movies played at the Huntsville, at the Space Center. You'd see it at a science museum or something like that. And I went and saw it. It was fun to watch it and then go, oh, this is the movie that they were trying to make. And I watched the show. Okay.

It's kind of like your jokes when you watch them be informed, like on the podcast, and then you get to go see the final thing. You get to go see the final thing. Like you're in on it. Like you were in on it. All right, so you can do it as a hobby if you want. Get in contact with the National Weather Service, and they've got some programs. If you want to do it as a profession, they say it's important. No, most people don't make a lot of money. Average salary starting now, $18,000. Okay. Many storm chasers support themselves with a second job.

Or do it seasonally. $18,000. Yeah. So you have to get certified. I would love it. You wouldn't want to go. I mean, see a real tornado, man. That just would be like insane. What do you do? Do you try to get inside of it? Or what do you do? I mean, it's kind of what the title is. Is you chase the storm. You're chasing it, but what do you get? I think you're trying to. You don't go away.

And now if it comes after you, you're going to move. How close do you get to it? You just want to follow it at a certain distance? Yeah, yeah. They know how to get... They get where they can really film it. Oh, I'd do that. The guys that are...

Some are doing it like the movie Twister where they're trying to get something taken up. But I mean, there's people that are trying to, I think, get that close just to understand a tornado. But when you see them, it's always like most cars going this way and then one car going towards it. And they're trying to get near it. And so they see a tornado. They're trying to go to the tornado. Justin Smith, who I was with, who was with me on the One Night Only tour, he lives in Oklahoma. And so we were there.

When the tornado came, and I know I say tornado, because I say winda. Colorado. This Colorado, yellow. That was a beat, Colorado. Colorado. Yeah. So, but he, so tornado, and so he goes tornado, or tornado. Nader. Nader. This Nader came over to him.

So we went, it was the big one that they had that like wrecked that town. And so I was there, I was at a comedy club there and Sidesplitters, I think, or I forget what they have there, but Looney bin, yeah, Looney bin. So I was there and the day before they had a 20 to go through one of the towns, I want to say Norman, maybe where Oklahoma university is.

And it was really bad. And I went with him out and we did, I did try to kind of go see what was happening and try to find one. And we just didn't. But I mean, we were just driving in the car. There was something with the, I forget now, where I was listening to the news and they were just talking to someone. I forget what it was. It was very funny how just the news covering of it. I was taking it personally.

I think it was like very, you know, it was like, do you see it tonight? And they're like, he's like, yeah, it's real over. He's like, all right, just do these. Like, all right, well, I'm saying, okay, I guess I see it, but I guess you don't want to talk to me. Like would say stuff like that. They'd go, all right, well, we're going to come back to you. All right. Yeah. I'm the one out here. Uh,

But yeah, go do whatever you want to go do. I mean, I'm the one that is seeing all of it. We'd always kind of say stuff like that right before they go off the air. And you're like, and she's really making it about this. He's like, all right, thanks, Samantha. We're going to be back to you probably later. He's like, probably. I mean, I'm the main person here. I don't see you. Okay. All right. And then it just would cut off to the next thing. But we went and watched it. And then I flew out that next morning.

And I remember I had to fly out early. I don't ever fly out early. I'm usually like a, I try to be like a 10 a.m. to noon flight guy. And I had, I left at like, I didn't go to sleep. I just went to the airport and left at 5.30. And that big one came through that day. I would have never got out. I mean, I like, you know, I'm not saying I would have died, but it would have been, I would have been stuck. I mean, that came through. It was, I mean, it was one of the worst, you know. Wow. But you have the,

The one, the big one here. Earlier this year? No, not this year. There was one this year, but then the one in, there was one at night. That's the craziest one. We had one come through Williamson County at night and a lady died. That's the scariest thing on earth because you don't know. Yeah. Well, there's one that came through here March 3rd through downtown and yeah, it came right over us. We've got the footage. Well, that's what I shot from my deck.

I mean, you can't see a ton. When will you be able to show this footage? Will Brian not allow it? We'll see. Breakfast is like the MLB. He doesn't want his own footage. Why is that? That's Transformer. That's like the tornado. You're tracking it by the explosions. So you don't know where it's at until you see an explosion, and the explosions happen because of it. A tornado at night is... You don't even think about it. Because it's... I don't think they're...

like super, super common. Yeah. Right. All right. We can mute it and just wait. It's like trying to talk someone on the phone when they're in the wind. You ever call someone and you're like, oh, okay, I can't. And they're like, I mean, it's footage of tornado. And you're like, all right, it's fine. But I shot myself. Was that, did it show the tornado? So I saw the explosions.

Yeah, but it's just funny how you just kind of just so blew it off. I didn't blow it off. I saw the explosions. I don't know what else you want me to do. We have a podcast that has to keep going. I can't stop and admire the silence. And there's just wind blowing through the thing. So I was like, all right, just cut the wind out. I saw the explosions. That was the tornado, right? That was it going through there. Yeah. And what else happened after that?

Well, I mean, obviously it just destroyed everything in its path and it kind of went right over. Our power went out. Yeah, is that the video? Of it destroying everything? Yeah. In the path? Was that the rest of it? The one that you're so mad at me for not watching the end of it? Is that what I missed? It's just so funny. Like, I have a first-hand experience of you just moved on, just kept talking about other stuff. No, no, I talked about it. We watched 20 seconds of it. Then it was just wind noise. And there's people that can't see this video at all. I don't know if y'all know how a podcast works, but people are not watching this. They're not all in this room.

So we have to keep it moving. And y'all just like, all right, dude, why don't, okay. I guess you don't want to play my wind noise of this dark tornado that no one can, you can't even see on the screen. You can't see it up there. You could see it. You could see it move across here that night, but I get what you're saying. No, it's fine. It did sound like, you know, somebody's like speakerphone with like, Hey, I'm going down the interstate. Yeah. Cars rolled down. And then they roll his windows up. Yeah. He's like, Oh, you've been talking to him for an hour. Are you outside? No, the windows are down. You mean you could have stopped this dude?

You could have stopped it by rolling the windows up and you did it. All right. Brian's heroin. Go ahead. Heroin experience. Is it heroin? I don't know.

harrowing oh i'll say a harrowing experience i was on heroin in a heroin experience pretty different you got video of your heroin experience let's watch that well if he shows down on that video you're gonna see a heroin experience because he lives there's all the the drug addicts live right below him well so you could have got both here's a harrowing experience and here's a heroin experience

And you just show up and down. Because wasn't it all like on your street? You would see fights. I'd see a lot, yeah. Yeah. There's a lot going on. Yeah. You can rent this apartment on Airbnb. You know, the 2011 super breakout tour night was the worst in U.S. history. The one that went through Alabama and Tuscaloosa and all that. Yeah. So those were such crazy events.

tornadoes. We were doing shows at Stardome that weekend. Oh, yeah? I was there with Angela, and we went over to Tuscaloosa, and she bought a bunch of supplies, and we delivered it to people there, but we just got to go through the damage, and it was just so crazy. We've had it with my high school, Donaldson Christian Academy. Yeah.

has been hit with a flood and a tornado. And so the last one that came through this year just ripped my high school up, just ripped it up bad. And we're trying to do a show for them. And then COVID happened. They just really got dealt a bad hand. And I know everybody's still there. And so it was brutal. But I drove over there. And if you go through, you know, I almost –

I took my daughter and it's almost like not a bad, you know, I don't know. It's all a bad thing, but like for a kid to see, I don't know, maybe it could go do different ways, but I think it's like good for them to see it. Right. You know, just to be like, look, this is serious. You know, look, these people, which we noticed is it's always the, in the bathroom, the middle of the house is always up in most places. It's kind of crazy to think like, like you'll see a bathtub and then maybe the walls in the middle. Yeah. And these houses are level.

I mean, just level. Not, you know, we got some wind damage on the roof. I mean, the whole thing's gone. We had, I remember the, so the one that came through Nashville my senior year in high school, 97. And, right? 97? 98. 98. So, I'd been right in the middle of Volunteer State Community College, getting no credits, taking speech.

And we, I remember I had to go pick up. We had a one that came and it came, it came down. Uh, God, we've had a bunch of them. I actually remember another time one came down our street, the old house we used to live on. But this one was a huge one that came through Nashville. Yeah. That's great video that downtown. Uh, we're, we're good with the video. All right. And now I'm joking. If there's video of that show, that video, uh,

they maybe won't be at night. And, uh, they, this one was during the day, but so I remember watching this one. So I was not, it's 1998. And I remember my, it came through, uh, old Hickory. I was thinking Andrew Jackson's house, the Hermitage, all these trees used to not be able to see the house from the road because there's so many trees. And now you can see the house. And I always thought that was like, that's so crazy. It took that many trees out. And, uh,

I remember my mom called me. I went and picked my sister up. She was in elementary school, and I went and picked her up. And then my aunt, I think, was at our house maybe. I don't remember. No, it was me, my brother, and my sister. And I went out back and was filming, trying to see if I would get anything when it was happening. And nothing came directly over near us to really see it.

But you were at Channel 5. Yeah, that's footage right there from Channel 5. Yeah. I remember seeing this on the news. If you're watching this, again, we'll post some of this stuff in the Instagram stories or anything. We went right through downtown? Right through downtown. Wow. That one was crazy. That girl's trying to open the door, and they can't get it open for her. And the train is coming down the street. That's our front lobby at Channel 5. You were there. You were in that building. Yep. And was it just like a train? Yeah, I mean, we all went down to the basement. Yeah.

So, but yeah, it was crazy. It knocked us off there. And then the building here hit twice, the flood of 2010. Yeah. I mean, it's when you're, you know, when you're that kind of stuff, it's so helpless. It's just something coming through. That's what's so crazy. It's such a, there's nothing you can do.

Anything that, you know, obviously a robbery, like, I don't know, there's just stuff you could stop it. There's things to stop. Fire, you can put, you know, I mean, there's nothing to do with the fires. It's roaring, but there's at least hope. Like there's something, a tornado, for some reason, like earthquake feels the same way. We feel an earthquake. The earthquake was the most helpless I've ever felt because it's everywhere. You can't run from it. You can't not, you know, you step here, it's there. You could run anywhere.

half a mile during an earthquake, you go fill that whole half. Like that's, was this when you lived in LA? Yeah. When we went to LA, we felt one in New York too. And then New York, what happened? Laura was working in one of the big buildings and she felt it. But the one in earthquake, the first one I ever felt was wild, man. I mean, it was unbelievable. It's, uh, fill an earthquake. There's, you know, people in California don't even think about it.

But if you have never felt, you've never felt, you felt one. I did a terrible gig in Oklahoma. The whole weekend was so terrible. The only thing I got excited about, we had an earthquake. Like I felt my first earthquake. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. My hotel room. Yeah. Yeah. If someone it's hated the gig, but I love that. I felt earthquake. Yeah. I hope this, the highlight of your trip was a natural disaster. I hope this plane flies right into a mountain. You just hope, I hope this earthquake sucks us all under.

It's, yeah, these tornadoes, the craziest one, where's the one in Missouri? It's the biggest one. Yeah, Joplin? Joplin. Joplin goes through, I mean, this thing is enormous. It's, you know, I think it's like a quarter of a mile. Yeah. 2011. Yeah. It goes through, I mean, it's the big, it's an E5, is that what they say, E5? Yeah. EF5 tornado. Yeah.

And I mean, it's just like, it's so big that it's like, that's not it. Keep just scroll through it real fast and see if you just see.

It's so big that it just looks like dark clouds. Yeah. Like, that's how big it is. And El Reno, Oklahoma, has the widest tornado ever recorded, 2.6 miles wide. I mean, that's just wiping out. That's just wiping out of town. I mean, that's that's your. You're right. That's the scary thing about these is you literally it hits and you're like, well, we just got to wait it out. Yeah. We can't do anything about it. Do anything about it. There's nothing you can do. It's so crazy.

See these base hunter guys? I ain't going to get in man. You could be one of these. Maybe we'll do that as the Nate Land. We need someone to come with us.

Nate hunters, tornado hunters, tornado hunters, tour Nate earths. What are you guys riding the flying penguin? And then we have a penguin that we drive in that's that's that's shaped. Yeah. That can handle the wind. See, I'd be much more willing to do something with a tornado than just about any other natural disaster.

Why? Hurricanes terrify me. The water element of it terrifies me. There's so much... I mean, they're hundreds of miles across. Them coming in, they're slow, too. Like, you see them, and you're like, here it comes. Oh, yeah, here it comes. And you can't do anything about it. Can't do anything about it. It's happening. You can move. A tornado, you know, you can get away from it. I feel like you're mocking tornadoes. No, I mean...

I mean, I don't. You can't just drive a mile to the left and be away from a hurricane. You can leave three weeks before you say it gets here. I have a joke about that. It's got a heads up notice of, hey guys, there's a tornado that's out in the ocean bothering nobody. We think it's going to come here in about a month. If you guys could gather your stuff, some of you could probably sell your home. You have enough time to sell your home. That's my joke. Is it what you say? Yes.

Yeah, in Nashville, you could already soldier home for more than you asked for and be living somewhere else. By the time the hurricane gets there. Hey, that's fair. I'm talking about in the context of being a storm chaser and going to work. Well, if you go down there and stand in the field of winds, I think it's relentless, the hurricane. But again, you're putting yourself in it, so that's why the fear of it, I don't understand. Tornado just happens.

It's there. It's on top of you. So, you know. Yeah. But a hurricane, you have to go put... You can avoid a hurricane for the rest of your life. You can avoid a tornado pretty easily, dude. How? I've never come across one. I've been doing much. You have the wrong attitude. It's been working for me, dude. Huh? It's been working for me. You've never had it... We've had them come through. I'm from Alabama. There are always... But I've never...

never been up in one's face? No, I know. I don't know how to word that. Yes. The odds of, but your odds are just, your odds of a hurricane is zero as long as you don't go dry near it. But a tornado, you're always walking around with the odds of a tornado can happen.

It's just on the table. Tornadoes can happen. Some parts of the country, yeah. Yeah. I mean, we get a ton of them here. Oklahoma gets it. We get like 90% of the world's tornadoes, I think, right? What do you mean by we? The United States. How many spiders are near us right now? Because I think tornadoes elsewhere in the world are fairly rare. Yeah. It's like an American phenomenon. You don't have them. That's right. It's our thing. Go USA. I don't think you have them west of the Rockies, do you?

I don't know. No one ever says West of the Rockies that much anymore. That's where you have the earthquakes. I'd have to think about where that's even... I mean, that's like...

South of the... I don't know. Mostly Sunbelt stuff, right? What are you talking about? In the Tennessee Valley? Yeah, yeah. That's like... West of the Iraqis. West of Mississippi. You guys get it. What about West of Mississippi? I don't go that far. Yeah. Hello, folks, to HelloFresh.com.

No, I'm saying that you don't respect tornadoes. I hope a tornado follows you home tonight. I hope it drives right behind your car. I just go kind of fast and I'd outrun it, no problem. Yeah. And it wouldn't pick up an ocean and dump it on top of me. How fast would you go? I say I would never get pulled over by the cops. I'm not going that fast. You'd be watching West Wing, doesn't even see it. Hey, that's fair. There's a great hurricane storyline in West Wing. You tell me it's insane to be...

More afraid of a hurricane than a tornado? Tornadoes are a surprise. Hurricanes are, it's, you know, I mean, hurricanes are bad and people stay. But a lot of times when it happens, they either, look, they can't move. There's circumstances. They go tell them, even Katrina, they tried, they were getting everybody out. I'm not saying it tears up a whole town. Hurricanes do way more damage.

But as far as a human being dying, I mean, a tornado just could pop up on us right now. It could be right behind. Is there one right behind me right now? I mean, it could be that easy that you just don't look. He's always just looking and coming. They come out of nowhere. Think about the ones at night, dude. It's at night. That one that came through Winston County. I remember we, we, Harper's Asleep.

We just went in like the middle closet of the house and we just kind of sat in there because we didn't know how long it was going to be. And I was watching. It's like two in the morning. It's just pitch black dark. I mean, people don't even know that you could look be looking at it and you wouldn't know until you flew away. Like, you know, you might hear it.

We hear loud noise. Yes. But you don't know the idea of it. It's not going here. I come chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug. It's making a little chugging noise. You see his, the video, his videos, great video. Brian shot, if you even cared about it. And it's a video about wind sound. Uh,

And they, you would see those sparks. Well, those sparks aren't heads up. The sparks is I'm on you. I'm on top of you. So that's, you know, you're seeing the tornado fly. Crazy. That's fair. So how many earthquakes do you guys think we had in Tennessee last year? Zero. Seven.

301. No. What are they counting? There's a ton of small ones. There's small ones all the time in East Tennessee. You just barely feel them. Yeah? Yeah. You feel them, though? In East Tennessee, yeah. 300. Let's see. I don't know if I've felt one here. I don't think I've felt one here either. So California, they keep preparing for the big one.

So the last really big one they had was, I guess, 1994, depending on what you consider big, which cost 72 deaths. But the big one they think will hit will be 44 times stronger than that one. That was the World Series game. No, the World Series was 89. Oh. So they have a 48% chance of the big one hitting within the next 30 years from the San Andreas fault. And so that hits. What happens? A major death destruction. That's not good. I joke that it,

California would fall into the ocean. Yeah. That was from Superman one. Uh, that's what he said. Well, there was a missile that yeah, California, but they say it won't fall in the ocean, but there's going to be major, major destruction for just California. Well, the West coast, the West coast. No. East of the Rockies. East of the Rockies. So we're good. East of the Rockies. Yeah. But if you're in it, it's like all of California feels this. Oh yeah. All the West coast. Yeah. Every state,

every part and it just is like is it one crack is like just gonna everything's gonna fall down yeah the centennial they said i mean this is years from years from now los angeles and san francisco will be close to each other really yeah because they're going to just but this they're talking like thousands of thousands all right yeah yeah

That feels like a very loose thing that can. Well, I know. Again, scientists get to just go, you know. That's why I almost didn't tell you. Yeah, because it's what scientists get to do. You know, I could just go out and be like, you know what? Seattle will become San Diego and San Diego will become Seattle in a thousand years. And you'd be like, ah, that's crazy. He goes, yeah, I'm a scientist. I've studied this. You're like, I don't know how you study that. Did you look it up and stuff? He's like, no, I am the look up.

What I write is the lookup. I'm the source. And then how are we going to, you know, is there any, is he going to get in trouble if that doesn't happen? Making outlandish things. It's a six, it's a, it's a six hour drive. It's going to be right next, right now, San Francisco, the Los Angeles is a six hour drive. It's going to be next to each other. When? Just long enough that you won't be alive to prove. Like that's, that's always the thousand years. That means if you, you could never have your family, uh,

Like I would want to now, I'll tell my daughter, tell her kids to be like, don't stop this chain. And I won't be here. None of us will be here. But I want in a thousand years, I want a Bargetzi to find that scientist's family and go, hey, guess what? It's a little bit farther away than it was. You know? Yeah. This is what they think the world will look like. When? Millions of years from now.

Where are we at? This is North America right here, dude. So it's basically like we're a drain and everything's going to just float next to you. That's basically, if you're listening, it would be like, well, what if the world became a drain and every country just floated on top of each other? That's what the world's going to look like. The penguin Ultima. Penguin Ultima.

These are just, these are a few different theories of what it'll look, you know, a hundred million years in the future. A child could draw that on a map. I could go get a kid and go, just draw me what you think the world looks like now. I'm going to put it on a website next to my doctor name and tell people this is what it's going to look like in 4 million years. And everybody goes, oh man, we should listen to that guy. Right? I don't know who made this. So, you know. Yeah. It kind of looks like a kid drawing.

Arthur. It looks like a kid trying to draw the world. Yeah. You know, and it's real bad. That's like the weather, you know, we talk about weather people. They, they always get yelled at weathermen. Uh, they get yelled at because they get weather wrong. Yeah. But I always think I had some reason to me. I'm like, always, I'm very lenient with that. I don't ever get mad. Like, it's like, what do you want them to do, man? They, people get furious and you're like, yeah, dude, I just, it, it, you know, it's a good gauge. Yeah. You're usually going to be happy. Yeah.

Because it usually means it's supposed to rain all week and it didn't. So you're like, oh, great. But back off these weather people, man. Like give them, they're doing what they can. Predicting the future. Yeah. How about this? How about this? How about this theory where all the other continents go up towards the North Pole and Antarctica stays where it is. So we all just kind of join up at the top. Yeah. Everybody's at the top. So we're living on the North Pole. Yeah.

So Africa is still going to be hot. Can you imagine they go, oh, is it going to cool down a little bit? You're like, actually, you kind of probably get hotter. And you're like, what, dude? Like, I mean, everywhere else is going to be north. Like, we're going to be so cold. And Africa is like, you know what? I wouldn't hate it. That's what someone says in Africa. I wouldn't hate it.

And you're like, well, I got some bad news, Madagascar, because you might not move. There's a great chance you won't move. That's what we're guessing. And that's what a scientist would sell Madagascar. He would do a speech about it.

Discounts not available in all states and situations. I mean, unbelievable. Can you imagine if someone floats that idea at a science table?

That just came out. That just came out. Yeah. 2020. Yeah. That's not some drunk scientist smoking a cigarette in a lab, you know what I mean, where doctors gave, the baby was born with a cigarette in his mouth, like, where there was no rules. Yeah. That's 2020. Wow. That guy's in the middle of a pandemic. Wow.

And this is what he's gotten to. You know what? What if we dim the sun? You're like, hey, why don't you not publicly let that get out that you said that? That's what someone should have said to him immediately. What'd you say? What if we dim the sun? We should just turn the sun down a little bit. Oh, we're just doing knob and just turn it down? Install a dimmer, dude. Johnny, get... Just Dr. Sadad Khan. Johnny Redd. Johnny Redd.

Johnny Redd on it, man. Who do you think did that? Let's say one of the names is Dr. Conn, the other's Johnny Redd. Sounds like Johnny Redd's idea. You're right. Johnny Redd. Actually, Sor Sogbe. Soray Sogabor. Sor Sigor. Sor Sigor. Sor, go ahead, saw your hand up. What if we dim the sun? Sor? Save your work, Sor, and then get out of here.

Say savior. Unbelievable. Save your word. Soar. Soar, don't ever say something like that. Right when Soar said it. What if we dim the sun? Can everybody leave except Soar? And then everybody just got up and left. And he goes, Soar, what are you doing? What are you, out of your mind? Dim the sun. You went to college. I mean, like, what? They're teaching you stuff. They're teaching stuff.

There's not a dimmer. You know how long it took us to learn to dim lights in a house? Yeah. And you want to dim the sun? It's not like we just figured that out. It wasn't like the light was invented, then we started dimming them. You want us to dim the sun? We don't even know. Do you know how big it is? It's gigantic. Pretty big, man. It's pretty big. Oh, dude. He goes, it's not that big. He's like, you against tornadoes? It's not that big. It's the least thing I'm worried about. Listen, it's big, but I'm not. Out of all the universes, the least thing I'm scared of is the sun. Yeah.

A San Francisco geologist made a name for himself by accurately predicting the North California, Northern California's 1989 earthquake. He combed the classified ads for local newspapers and saw that a large number of household pets had run away from home. He made a conjecture that animals can sense earthquakes coming and he was correct. In China in 1975, a major earthquake brought hundreds of snakes abandoned their burrows and were running through the city.

Three days later, earthquake hit. Thousands of toads are running. There's all these examples of animals sensing it and getting out of town. Yeah, I mean, I would imagine if downtown Nashville had hundreds of snakes going through it, we ought to, I don't know, figure something's going on. I mean, we should look into it. Maybe go buy some toilet paper at the store. But, you know, if I see Holly cowering in the corner one day,

They say they know that super volcano in Yellowstone, that if it erupts, the world's over, pretty much. There's a super volcano out there. And they say they're going to know if it's about to erupt if all the animals start... Getting out of town? Yeah, all the bison and everything start running. We see bison...

He's got their suitcases as they walk down there. You know, they always show a bison walking down the road. He's got his roller bag with him. You're like, where are you guys going? He goes, ah, we're just getting out of here. You know, kind of overstayed our welcome. You know what I mean? They go, okay, makes sense. And he's like, one of them's got his thumb out. All the bisons are holding their thumbs out. That's what's going to happen. That's what you're just saying on the podcast. Yeah, all those animals will leave, man. Where are they going to go, though? Is he going to kill everybody? Because the animals don't know.

Should we follow? Well, it's going to create a nuclear winter. It's going to erupt.

block out it's gonna dim the sun too much it's gonna turn it down way too much and we're gonna breeze to that story is gonna have about two weeks of being like told you told you we can dim the sun and then it gets real bad he goes all right that was well not this much not this much turn it up but he has two weeks of going what i say he just walks in what i say you say we couldn't dim the sun i said we could dim the sun

Oh, man. A raindrop's terminal velocity is 18 miles per hour. Oh. Oh. It's like a squirrel. Yeah. They can survive. The air located in a lightning bolt is 54,000 degrees. I don't know if I even care. You know, that's such a number that's like... It's five times hotter than the surface of the sun. I mean, I'd imagine the sun's pretty hot.

Sun's unbelievably hot. You can't get near it. And you're like, it's five times more. You're like, does it even matter at this point, man? If I can't get to the near, I need to know how much harder than an oven.

That's what they should. I know, but they should do more set. Like they, they give you something that you can't wrap your head around. How many degrees hot is 54,000. Okay. So an oven is 300. Yeah. 300, 350. All right. I go 400 sometimes just to save time. I'm impressed now. You see how I'm, I'm just saying use, they use examples that mean nothing.

So 135 times hotter than an oven. Some guy got hit by lighting. How hot was it? I like the way you said. It's pretty hot. You should go. I like that you described it better. I would rather hear you on the news go, all right, everybody, your oven's at 400 degrees. And you're like, God, that's kind of hot, right? It's hot. You want to put your hand in there? No, I don't. Now imagine 54,000 more than that. And you're like, golly, dude, that's so hot. And then I can wrap my head around that.

versus five times the sun and you're like, well, how hot's the sun? Okay. 400 degrees. Remember how crazy you thought 54,000 was? A little bit less than that. Now, isn't the sun less than that? Yes. The sun's five times less than that. So you need to do the sun. Yeah. I hit my lighting. Wait, how hot was it? Yeah. I'm not worried about temperature, man. I hit with lighting. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it wasn't even that hot. Did it feel hot? He's like, ah, it's more. It wasn't even that hot, dude, honestly. To be honest with you, you know those Icy Hot commercials? That name made more sense to me when I got hit by lightning. It was like, once I got hit by lightning, it was like a light bulb went on my head, and I go, I know what Icy Hot means. Have you been to Hattie B's? Not the hottest, but... That's what I would imagine, Icy Hot. That's what you would say.

You can tell the temperature outside by counting the cricket's chirps. Count the number of chirps in 14 seconds and then add 40 to get the temperature. I mean, there's no way. That's impossible. That's just impossible. A,

I don't even hear crickets all the time. You've got to have crickets. Huh? You've got to have the crickets for it to work. Are crickets out now? They're not out in the cold. It's cold. It's like Craver telling the time. Yeah. What about at night? It's a little bit harder, but I can still get within two, three hours. I mean, yeah, that's like going, I don't know, 20 degrees? I don't know, 30? What are the crickets? Add 40. Can you, I mean, hey, we've got to go.

Well, now we got to start over because you just talked and I lost track of the cricket chirps. So if you want to go, maybe don't talk while I try to count these cricket chirps. I think that's amazing. That is amazing. I don't know how someone figured that out. Well, when you make something up, you don't have to have anybody figure it out. I mean, that's how. When you just some guy says that. I don't know if that's true. You know, you can't sleep with your feet in socks because they can't breathe.

That's my joke that my dad told me when I was a kid. I don't sleep with my socks on my feet. That's not true at all. But that sounds like I could say that and you'd be like, wow, your feet can't breathe. I know. Next time you hear some crickets.

You're going to count them. You're going to count them. What's that, 14? Then add 40. How many times? Wait, so what is it? The number of chirps in 14 seconds and then add 40 to that number. So you're at 10 and then it's 40. That sounds so made up, dude. I believe it, but it sounds... Okay. It's a real thing. That's a number that would be tough to get to. 10 seconds, you'd be like, I have the time for that. 14, you're like, I'm not. And you could always be a little bit off because if it was 15, you'd be like,

Well, one place I read 15 seconds and then add 37. I mean, that's the same. So like that would be, uh, so 14 and add 40. So you could just do 10 and add 46. You're like, what are you doing to me? He goes, uh, or just do one second and add 61 next to it.

That's what it would, that's honestly what the math ends up being. It's like, it's down to someone just starts counting these chirps. And he goes, I don't have the time for it. He goes, I look, I get it. Everybody's got a busy day. Listen for one cricket. How many chirps? One second, add 60 to it. And,

And then the other guy goes, well, I'm supposed to be for your day. Duke at my 14. That's like a three minute abs. And he goes, no, everybody does five minute abs band. There's something about Mary. Yeah. Something about Mary. I'm doing three minutes. It's better. It takes a snowflake 45 minutes to one hour to hit the ground.

How do they know that? I don't know. You got a good little ballpark. I mean, that's 45 minutes to one hour. You got a 15 minute window. Yeah. To go. How do they time that? It could be your first set or your second set of your special. Uh, I don't know how they, I guess I got to now.

45 minutes to one hour, starting now. All right, lost it. Hold on. Okay. There's a lot of them. This is brutal. I'm going to do, let me start again. Hold on. No, don't start. All right, I got it again. I got to bet. I got to bet. I got to bet. When Hurricane Andrew hit Florida in 1992, it was a Category 5 hurricane. It destroyed a python breeding facility and 900 pythons escaped.

They have now... The pythons have destroyed the Florida Everglades. 99% of rabbits and foxes have basically disappeared. And raccoons and opossums are almost all gone. I didn't think that it was... I thought... I knew that there was the python problem down there, but I didn't... I thought it was...

Well, that was a problem too. A lot of people are just turning them loose, but that, that this really sped it up 900 at once. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. That's a good app. That should be in your argument for hurricanes. Yeah. If you want to argue hurricanes, I would have gotten to that for sure, but I was cut off. Yeah. Uh, Hey, uh, your bows on the tip of your tongue, right? Snake. And they, on the flip side of that is, uh,

But that should definitely be in your argument to go, pythons are a problem now. Right. Yeah. Did the tornado destroy the Florida Everglades? No, a hurricane did. Oh, by the weather? You wish. Much worse. Right. You get paid money to catch these snakes. Guys do it. Oh, yeah? It's like maybe 500 bucks or something. Yeah, it's a lot of snake. I mean, guys just go out and...

because they got to get them rain back. It's too much. They're destroyed. They have no predator. They're everywhere. Do we have any live... I did a joke about tigers. Is there any tigers in the wild in America that are in the wild?

That they would know? Not in America. Oh, that got loose somehow? Yeah, they maybe got loose and then they've become... There was supposedly one in Knoxville recently, right? But I think that turned out not to be true. Like, there's got to be any... Yeah, any ant, like, you know, lion or tiger, is anything that's not supposed to be here? That's just... That's not in a zoo or didn't... But, like, now we just think...

Like, does America... No, Tiger got on the loose in Knoxville. Oh, that was from a zoo. But yeah, so there's no, like... Because they would have to just usually tell America, hey, America, we live with a tiger now, and we don't know where it's at. There's one somewhere in America. Somewhere in America. But if it got loose from a zoo, what does it matter where it got loose from? As long as it's... If it's missing... Well, if it's in the wild, if it's missing. Yeah. And usually they find those. Yeah. But I mean, this one would probably have to get like that. That'd be very, you know...

That would have been a crazy news thing to hear. My craziest one I remember hearing was in Arizona. I might have talked to this. I don't know. I talk about a lot of stuff. But they – was when they said, don't go to Juarez, Mexico. It's a lawless place.

It's a lawless town. Yeah. And I remember I was next to Juarez because we were, it was like when I was 21. And then they, so I saw it on their local news and they say, tonight, everybody don't go to Juarez. It's lawless right now. And that's always stuck with me. It's the craziest thing I've ever heard on the news. Yeah. Just to be, hey man, don't go. They can murder you in the street. Absolute chaos. And nothing, nothing will happen to you. There's no police there. It's just craziness. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.

Water spouts near dry land can make sea creatures ring down from the sky. Fish have been known to get sucked into them in the fall. Oh, wow. Lightning strikes the Empire State Building around 25 times a year. That'd be more than that. That's not as many as you think. I mean, it's up there. It's asking for it. You think it'd be... Twice a month. Huh? Twice a month. I know, but how much lightning is there? I mean, there's 300 earthquakes in...

Tennessee that I've ever felt. I would think that the Empire of Stilwell Inc. gets struck more than 25 times. That's not that many. I would think in a night. If you told me, you think if you heard it was 25 times a night, you would be like, oh, I believe that, during a thunderstorm. I mean, I see what you're saying. I could see it being much more than that. Yeah. According to some, the amount, you can predict the weather, how bad it's going to be by the color of the woolly worm.

The amount of black on the back of the woolly worm varies in proportion with the upcoming weather. The longer the woolly worm's black band... Can you pull up a woolly worm? The longer the woolly worm's black band, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the weather will be. The wider the middle brown band, the less bad the winter will be. It's just... I mean, there's no way that's true. You know, it's like... This isn't a scientist thing. This is farmers. Yeah.

So now we're listening to, I mean, that should be the, that should be out the gate. I would enjoy the information more if I would have been told this is my neighbor. Who said this? My neighbor. There's, that seems, yeah. That's so funny. That doesn't, he goes, I was going to have. I just want some farmer's steak. Like you guys heard of the farmer's almanac, right?

Yeah, sure. I think it's fun to use some kind of fun. Ben Franklin did the first one, right? That's poor Richard, right? Still an almanac. I think... I don't even know what y'all both were talking about right there. At all. Poor Richard's, I thought was a bar. Isn't that a bar in something? That's the bar in the office. We've truly segwayed. Yeah.

A mirage. Guess what a mirage is? Yep. Vegas. Stay there. Twice. Topical illusion. Not a hallucination. See, that's the part. You guys know what a mirage is? Yep. Okay. Move on. All right. That's a haul.

That's what this podcast is. What do they do? They just ask them if they know something and they say yes or no. Yep. Yep. And they go, so they say yes, they move on. I go, that's crazy. So no, they explain it. It goes, no, no, they still move on. They just get a yes or no. Yes or no from them. I'm losing it. I'm losing it. All right.

I always thought a mirage from cartoons was like you see water in the desert and you run and jump. But that's a hallucination. You can take pictures of mirages. Mirages are real things. It's atmospheric conditions that cause them, but they're not just like in your head. Oh. It's like you're so far away from something, the shape of it looks like a mirage. And we've seen that. You guys have seen that on Hot Roads, right? Yeah. Yeah. So that's...

Yeah. A sundog? You guys know what a sundog is? I talked about a sundog because they just saw a UFO. Yes. No. Oh, what? You don't know what a sundog is. What's the matter with you, Aaron? Sorry, dude. That was so funny when he was like, y'all know what a mirage is? He just go, yup. Yup. Next. We're really cooking now.

We got a lot of questions to get through. We're really rolling. We got hung up on woolly worms too long, man. We got to get to the back end of this. I mean, we got chirping. You count how many times a woolly worm farts and add 50, and that's when you can tell what your house feels like when you go inside of it. What is a sun dog? I'm looking at it, but I don't know.

The only thing I brought up is the sun dog because I follow some UFO thing on Instagram. And there's a sun dog. And then they said they thought a UFO came out of the sun dog. And then I never even heard. They weren't even talking about the sun dog. The sun dog wasn't even. They talked about it as if. Everybody knows what it is. So this sun dog, obviously. And then this UFO comes out. And then no one brought it. I was like, well, what's a sun dog, man? Let's back up a little bit. Yeah. And it was square. Yeah.

It's, yeah, it makes for the sun. It's not as, you know, UFO spotted during sunset. All right. All right. We're about to be. Yeah. This is where we, do we have, is that all the weather stuff? Weather? There's probably a ton more. Yeah, there's a ton more here. Is there any other fun that's?

Like something crazy? Something you thought would be... Well, a lot I thought would be impressive. I got one, maybe. All right, let's hear it. The loudest noise ever in the world. Krakatoa? Krakatoa?

Oh, the meteorite? Oh, never mind. The volcano. Yes. Everybody knows the Krakatoa. No, I don't know the Krakatoa. It was a big volcano. It erupted. It was so loud. It's the loudest noise ever. It circled the earth.

Three and a half times. Yeah. Wow. Everybody heard it. People 50 miles away, their eardrums were ruptured. It was heard all over the world. All over the world? Yeah. Three times around? The sound traveled three times around. So we would have heard it here. I don't know. I mean, it was in Indonesia. It was registered by like, you know, the devices. So the sound heard around the world. The Richter scale?

Don't think I'm crazy by going, so I would hear it. No, no, I know you're not crazy. It's like technically not. Maybe the first time around you heard it. I don't know about the second or the third time around. Yeah, but even to hear it at all. It's pretty crazy. Where did it happen? Indonesia. Conveniently in 1880. When all the continents were together? Yeah.

In 1880? Yeah. Were they spread out? San Francisco was more by New York. Yeah, San Francisco. Yeah. I'm listening. Go ahead. It's been a busy hundred years. Yeah. Seattle was more of a Russia thing. Go ahead.

That's about it. I was pumped to talk about that, but I think that's pretty cool. No, I mean, that's pretty insane. Yeah, it's pretty loud. Yeah, it's just when it exploded and then everybody, I don't know why, I feel like I should have heard about this before. That was a long time ago. I know, but it says, I can't imagine anything that the whole world could hear. I think anybody would say, I'm like, what was that?

Or they just kept going? Yeah, that's what I mean. Is it like they just registered the sound? Or am I watching TV and I just hear, and you're like, what was that? Did you hear something? Yeah, did you hear something? He moved the TV. Oh, that was Krakatoa in Indonesia. And then everybody just went back about their day. They didn't go, well, that's crazy. So this is pretty crazy the way they have this word in this article about it. It says the Krakatoa explosion registered 172 decibels at 100 miles from the source.

This is so astonishingly loud that it's inching up against the limits of what we mean by sound. Tell me what a rock concert decibel is. Yeah. Do y'all know about decibels? That's like a loud rock concert. Oh, right. 120? So 172 is insane, right? What if you slam an oven door? That's at 400 temperature. Yeah, let's do it.

How loud was that? How hot was that volcano? That's what I want to know. That's 172 and a KISS concert is 120. But that's 100 miles away from. Okay. I was supposed to say KISS probably goes around the world. So if you were near it, if you were near it, you could, it would just almost kill you.

Would the sound just kill you? Super close, you would just die from the volcano itself. Oh, you would be like, oh, did the sound do it? You're like, no, it was actually the lava. You know, I'll be honest with you, I don't know if he even heard the sound because he died so quickly from the lava. The lava was so hot.

He had his hands over his ears. He was upset that he didn't get to hear the sound. Right. I know him, and he would have been the guy that's going, I didn't get to hear the sound. You're like, you shouldn't have been that close. He'd die real quick. Should we, what's that volcano that might explode? The super volcano in the Yellowstone. Should we just live on it?

because that means you just go when it happens. When it explodes, you're like, it's over. Instead of moving, just get right on top of it. It's like, what are you going to die? A year after it happens? Slowly? Or just get up in it, and then just when it happens, you don't even know. The last volcano in the U.S. that erupted was Mount St. Helens in 1980. Yeah. 57 people were killed. Did y'all cover that at Channel 5, or was that more of a...

I'm sure we do. Do you want to talk about Yellowstone? I don't have a lot to say. It's just real scary and it's going to happen at some point. If you don't, donate to Wikipedia. Hello, here at Wikipedia. We're the only things keeping Yellowstone crack attack from cracking again.

Do they call it crack attack after it cracked the loudest? Is that what the name? Crack-a-toa. Well, crack-a-toa. It's where Sorge is from. Crack attack would be a better... Crack attack. Yeah, it was attack of cracking. Crack-a-toa, when did they call it? Did they call that after it? It made a loud cracking sound? No, I think that's what it...

What are the odds the loudest sound ever from something is called crack attack? Krakatoa. That's the name of the island. How would they know how loud it was? Like in decibels? Well, when you're 100 years ago and no one can look anything up. 140 years ago. I think they still had seismographs back then in the 1880s, I think. Okay. I don't know if they had cars.

You're right, they didn't. But they had that. I don't think lights could be dimmed, but they can track noise from Indonesia. They were still going, whoa! Whoa!

I think we did it. We might be back at a weather one. We won't do a part two, but we're better through weather. Weather's pretty fun. It's a lot of fun stuff. All right, everybody. If you listened to this, thank you so much as always. We love you guys very much. Leave your comments, everything.
