Hello, folks. And hey, Barry, welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate Bergetzi, Brian Bates here, and we're at Dusty Slate. All right. Everybody's back. Everybody's back.

Back at it. We went to Disney last week. It rained on us, so we ended up having to stay until I was able to get back. Can you still do stuff at Disney when it's raining? Yeah, it wasn't fun. It's like you get wet after hours. It's not like it's just a downpour. It just does not let up. You just drive the Haunted Mansion a lot. Yeah.

That's indoors. Yeah. Or the Epcot. What's the Epcot? I thought Epcot was the name of the place. I think it's the big. You made my voice. The golf ball. Yeah, the big golf ball. We're a minute and a half in. Yeah. No, I'm just saying, man, she's been kind of beat up on the road. I'm home this week. So that's what it is.

But yeah, it was, we had a good time. And my niece and nephew came and they have not been. And so it was just fun. It was like, you know, Disney is super fun. My nephew wants to ride everything.

And, you know, you do realize like, because we didn't go to Universal. He's been to Universal. He's just never been to Disney or the other stuff. There's just not a ton of like for, you know, someone that's into riding all crazy roller coasters. At Disney? I mean...

Not crazy. Space Mountain. Okay. This is Magic Kingdom. Yeah. You like roller coasters? That's what you're saying? You're really into that? I don't know if I... I rode them because he wants to ride them. Oh, okay. But it's... I do. I used to. Yeah, I do. I don't buy roller coasters, but I don't let go. But if I don't ride them, I'm fine not riding them.

Yeah, I always felt like Disney was not the real ride place. Six Flags was the ride place. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A little bit of danger. Yeah. Yeah, they did. Well, they did Epcot. They did Animal Kingdom. They have the Everest roller coaster. I mean, there's roller coasters in different things in the park, but it's still like the most fun. But I mean, yeah, you need to kind of...

Once a kid gets a little bit older, you kind of need them to... Disney is, I think, fun for younger kids.

and then uh it's just probably that how old's your nephew uh nine oh that's probably perfect right no it is he loves it but it's he also wants to ride every scare he wants everything to be scary and there's it's he's trying to ride and he's not that into donald duck these days well even like space mountains uh scary because it's inside

they have Tron. They have a new ride Tron. Like it's, I mean, we, we hit it all up, but it was Tron. The Tron ride is unreal. And that one is wild. Oh, it looks like you're sitting on a Peloton. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That, that ride is very crazy. Yeah. It's like said, like six flags. Yeah. So you need to like, that's where it's like,

Eight roller coasters that are just a drop. Yeah. Yeah, the Mindbender, the Georgia Cyclone, the Scream Machine. Those were the big ones when I was...

when I was going. The Viper. You remember any of those? I don't know if you guys went to. I remember the Scream Machine. I didn't go. I was a coward. I showed up and was too afraid to go on anything, but I watched my siblings do it. Yeah. The Viper was the one you're sitting still and then it just takes off just out of nowhere. And then you do a loop, go up, come back down, do another loop real fast. Pretty wild, though. Strikes twice. Yeah, the ones that shoot you out.

They're always like, because it's the, that stuff gets like, once you get going, it's very fun. That first little climb, though, it really, it builds it up. Oh, dude. Oh, yeah. And you just know, I couldn't stop now if I wanted to. Yeah. I'm stuck on this thing. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I always say, you can't get out, nothing you can do. And then you're like, I don't want to get out.

I want to get out the whole time. No, I mean, I want to get out the whole time, but you're also like, you want your thing to pull it down and you're just, well, that's true. You don't want to fall out. Yeah. What about, uh, you used to work at the one here, right? What was that? Opry land. Yeah. I remember coming here. I rode the hangman. Yeah. That was a, that was a pretty wild one. The last ones they added before they closed. Yeah. Yeah. Hangman. Yeah. Yeah.

Would y'all call it a hangman? Hangman, yeah. I think that's a hangman's nose. I think that's what you call it. A hangman? A hangman, yeah. Sounds like the last name. Hangman. This is one where your feet are dangling off. Yeah. Yeah, it was great. That was like one of the last ones that they put in. That was kind of a crazy. Yeah, it was wild. Yeah. And you call that hangman. Hangman. That's one word, I think. The hangman. Hangman. So if you play hangman.

I don't know if you, I feel like that you do say hangman because that's a, you know, that's what that game's called. Hangman. Because you're really trying to hang a man in that game. Yeah. This is. It's like here. Well, you're not trying to hang anyone though. You just, you know, you're riding. Yeah. Why does that change how you say the word? Well, I think it's descriptive of what's going on. Okay. Just hang. Then you put a little T at the end.

That's how I like to do it. Yeah. Hangman. He got called out for that last week. And I still don't get it. I still don't hear it. People keep saying I say a T after good, but I'm like, I say that's called a D at the end. Good. I just pronounce all the letters. Well, you hit it right just now, but five seconds ago, I heard a T. Even that time was just a little T.

Yeah, but that's like, that's the D at the end. Good. But the D is the duh, duh, duh. How do you guys say it? Good. I say it, yeah, like it's spelled. Say it again. Good. Oh, you go good every time. Every time. Yeah, we're having a good time. That's how I say it. You italicize it. Good time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

That's like Nate Land. Some people say Nate Land. And I'm like, well, it's not. I always think Nate Land. Yeah. But they'll say, well, it's not Cleveland. It's Cleveland. Oh, Nate. Oh, okay. I mean, I think it's Nate Land, but that's the point that makes some places are pronounced. We do that in the South, though, with Ville. Louisville. Louisville. Yeah. Well, Louisville is its own thing. But I'm looking at it as like two words. Nate Land. Yeah.

Yeah, but it's one word, right?

Yeah, but that's what he's saying with that. But Nateland is weird. Nateland is weird. Hangman, I feel like that has a flow to it. But I'm watching the Nateland podcast. It doesn't feel right. That doesn't feel right. But I mean, the Hangman sounds like a family. The Hangman family. Yeah. And maybe that's what we thought it was. Just a family. We didn't realize it was so violent. Yeah. It was a family ride. I'm just riding with the Hangmans. Yeah. You go, oh. Yeah.

Yeah, I think we got a picture. Me and my mom wrote it. That was great. I loved Opryland. Yeah. I went to Opry Mills yesterday. I have vertigo kind of now. And I got on the carousel with my daughter and I was like, whoa. So I don't think I can do any rides now. Yeah. The carousel was wild to me.

You just got vertigo, like, kind of? Well, I had it. Like, it hit me real bad one time. Is that where you can't stand? Yeah. But now I feel like sometimes I just get, like, a little dizzy. Is that what it feels? Jason Day, the golfer, had it where he had to stop playing. He couldn't even walk. Yeah. It's wild. I mean, there's a move that you can do, a maneuver. Yeah.

So, and that works. What is it? Yeah. What is it? Well, you need a person really, but you sit on the bed. We got one. You sit there. Well, you know, I'm not dizzy right now, but you, you, you sit on the bed, like, and then you kind of go backwards with their head leaning off the back and then turn it and

And then turn it, but tilt it down a little bit for about 30 seconds. And then you roll your whole body over that way. Yeah. And stay like that. And that's supposed to balance you out. Is it like all your blood gets back to the... Well, they say there's these crystals in your ear. Yeah. That's what people say. And that they need to get balanced back out. Oh, okay.

that's what my chiropractor said. And then somebody, I was telling you guys about it on the podcast. And then some guy emailed saying, oh, you got to go see a real doctor. And then he was telling me what it was. And I was like, well, that's exactly what my chiropractor just said. So maybe don't be so aggressive towards the guy. And so does it solve it for good or just solves it in the moment that it's happening? Yeah. I don't, I don't know why it starts and I don't think anybody really knows. So I don't know that you can solve it for good. Did you bang your head? Like,

Well, I'm sure crystals all evened out. Well, I don't know. I mean, they say there's just, you know, like we all have crystals in our ears, you know, you have a lot of copper in the ground because that could cause it. Is that right? Copper in his yard for, I forgot. Why is it? Well, it's, you know, to collect energy from the air for the plants. Right. Right. That's why I had such a great garden this year. All right.

Electro, what do they call it? Electro culture. Okay. That's cool.

I don't think that's what caused the vertigo or else all my family would have it. And then we would be like, all right, we got to do something about what's going on around here. The first time I experienced it was in Salt Lake City. And I thought that it was like altitude sickness. But it's wild. And then the next time it was right before I had a baby. Like we were in bed and my wife was like, I think I'm going into labor. And I jumped up.

And was like, ready to go. I mean, I was packing up, ready to go. And she goes, oh, no, I think it's okay. So then I laid back down and the next day I woke up, I had vertigo. You blamed her. She blames herself. I didn't blame her. She said she thinks it was stress related. Yeah. You know. You stressed out about anything now?

I don't ever think I'm stressed, but maybe my body just handles it in a different way. I always think that too. I don't ever think I'm stressed, but then it's like, well, I have to be stressed. Yeah. I don't think I like saying it. I think just going on stage has got to be stressful. Yeah. Well, I got full on white hair now.

And the girl cutting my hair was like, you've been stressed out a bunch? And I was like, maybe. Yeah. I don't know. I have full-on white hair all on the sides of my head. Oh, like mine? Yeah, not as pronounced as yours, but it's there. You're going to be there. Oh, I'm getting there quicker than you did. I have full-on white hair. Not as bad as yours. It's not Santa Claus hair. Mine was going white. Mine's been going gray quick. Like, you know.

The sides are... It's all just white. Yeah, and it's like, you're going on stage. I mean, you're going on stage in front of thousands of people, but it's like, I did a bunch of shows this weekend and it's like, they're all sold out. You're like, I want these all to be good. I want people... People are paid money to come and see these shows. I want them to be good now. And I don't feel nervous, but maybe I'm... Maybe this...

is manifesting somewhere else in my body. How do you feel right now? I feel good. I had a little more coffee than I needed to have. Yeah. You know, and that can, and I got soap in my eyes earlier, but other than that, I feel great. That's just regular day stuff. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I think coffee is, you know, I've not been smoking cigars and I think coffee is jacking me up now, but. I thought about, I mean, I have a big one right there.

But I thought about caffeine too because it's probably not good. Nothing's probably good. No. It really isn't. And especially, I don't know if that's what's in that cup, but Starbucks is particularly strong where it's like, geez, do I need that much? I just want some regular coffee that still tastes good. But Starbucks is so strong.

I mean, it's out of control. I think people are on so much caffeine that it almost feels like it doesn't work. And your body is just like in a constant state of like going. But then you feel tired. Then you crash. Yeah. But you know, you can like feel tired, but you can't go like close your eyes and you can tell your body wants to go to sleep. Oh, yeah. But you just can't. And I like that has to be. Yeah. Because you drink caffeine late at night, right?

I mean, I have like if I eat, I don't drink coffee, but I would diet Coke for dinner. If I have coffee after five, I can't hardly sleep. Yeah.

What time are you trying to go to bed? Seven? Not early. Yeah. I felt it this morning. I woke up at 2.45 this morning for a flight. That's a tough time to set on your alarm clock. You get back to the hotel at 11. You're like, I got to wake up at 2.45. But I woke up. I drank a Celsius. I drank an energy drink. Just I needed to. Yeah.

And then he got the rental car. And then I got to the airport and then I got a cup of coffee on the flight. And then I wanted to go to bed and I just closed my eyes, but I was wide awake the whole flight. It's not good. Did you sleep with your clothes on? No, you told me that trick. Yeah. Yeah. You got in bed at 11? I didn't fall asleep till maybe midnight. Yeah.

Yeah, you just go in there because then you say you go in there, have everything on, take a nap, watch TV. So you're not like forcing yourself to go to sleep. You're like, I'm going to just watch some TV. Relax. You look as more relaxing. Okay. And then you just and then you're going to fall asleep a little bit. Just lie to your body.

Trick it a little bit. Yeah, you're just, instead of, because you're now going, right when you get in bed, you're like, we got to go to sleep now. I know you have a podcast. You have a lot of stuff going on today. What kind of clothes are you wearing to the airport? That probably. I'm wearing this exact outfit pretty much. Different shirt. I changed shirts for the podcast. Got dressed up. But you're not like a sweat pant guy. No, I never want to be one of those guys. Yeah.

Yeah, it feels like I feel like a slob. Yeah. When I see people at the airport in like pajamas, I'm like, what's going on? Slides and like a neck pillow hanging off. And maybe they don't fly a lot, but I would think that would be even more reason to dress up for the occasion. Yeah.

Like, you're like, I don't know. I just feel like we're going, we're about to get on this state-of-the-art equipment to fly across the country. This is an event. Yeah. We just take it. It used to be an event. Yeah. But now it's like, yeah. I mean, now you have like Spirit Airlines and you have,

where it's, I mean, they're just fighting each other. I mean, you maybe need to be loose. You're going to have to, like you get on a plane and you're like, we're about to have to throw down. Yeah. I mean, that could be, I saw a spirit airline video the other day. The guy was like threatening the guy taking the tickets, uh,

Like, you won't let me on this plane. And I was like, geez, like that's the last guy I want on the plane. The guy's strong arm and the ticket taker. I had a show in West Virginia this weekend. I think it's the first time I've ever been to West Virginia. It was a corporate. And my flight out of Nashville was at 610.

Friday morning. And it was late taking off, which usually that early flight is safe, you know, but they had some issues and I missed my connection in Charlotte and I had to rent a car and drive from Charlotte to West Virginia. It's like five hours. That's a beautiful drive though, isn't it?

It was raining the whole time. Yeah. There's always some issues. On your inside and outside. Yeah, exactly. The tears coming down my eyes. It's always some issue like, oh, the guy's put in too much washer fluid and now we just got to take a little bit of it out. And it's like, why are you not putting the right amount in? Yeah. I didn't say what it was, but I'm like, it's been here all morning. Like what? The check engine light come on when you started it up? That's what I'm saying. You got to wrap your head around that.

People are just not good workers and they're just a lot of not good workers. It really is. And you, and you don't think it can be, you think like, uh, I was thinking about this, this weekend, like, is it like professionalism is kind of going away being professional. So no matter what you're doing, it's even your waiting tables, you just be a professional to that customer.

And like, that's all kind of going away where you can, you get, you go in and, you know, we try to get coffee at this place on the road. And it was like, they closed at four, it's three 45. So two people asked, they were gonna have to make another pot.

And it's like, but you could just feel where we just go, we just read the room that they, I mean, they did not want to make this more coffee. And they're having conversations out loud about, well, should we make it for them? Or do we not want to make, like, you know, where you're like, this is uncomfortable. And it's like, well, your thing says you close at four. I know it's 345. We didn't really realize, you know, but it's not that you're trying to go into a place late and do this, but you're just like, kind of like, I don't think,

Y'all could do this in a way that's not in front of us. Yeah. When I worked in restaurants, it was like, I was all about that. Oh, 345, you guys closing 15. I'm not going to go in. But now it's like, no, you close at four. Like I'm here before you close. Yeah. I get the frustration of it, but it is. And it makes, when I worked in, if they're about to close,

I wouldn't go in because I don't want to feel the pressure of them on me. Right. And so I would do it like that. But it is true. If I owned a restaurant,

I would be like, we're open till four. Like, let's, are you not going to be successful? You know what you want? Like, you don't want to like, go, I'm going to get this coffee for here and we're going to hang out. There's a difference between a coffee to go and let me get a table and have a meal right here. Yeah. Yeah. But even if that's, even if they come in that like, it's not on them now, it's not on your, your, you have hours on the door.

Yeah. It doesn't mean, you know, you could say our kitchens are like we, you know, we close at five. Our kitchen closes at three thirty or four thirty. You know, do something like that. Or then they you just walk in the kitchen that actually closes at four thirty. Sorry. And then or what, you know, if you're trying to do something. Yeah. We got some stuff still left under the heat lamp if you want that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

But yeah, professionalism is... I took a page out of Dusty's book this weekend. I have a minivan that hasn't run in three years and it's been sitting in my driveway. And I've been promising that I'll get it towed for three years. And I just never do. I was like, I'm finally going to do it this weekend. So I call a towing service in Nashville and the guy answers. And I go, hey, I have this minivan that doesn't move. I was wondering if you could just tow it and get it out of the way of the driveway. And the guy goes...

I mean, what kind of driveway are we talking? Yeah. And I go, you know what? I'm good, man. I just, the way he said it annoyed me so much. I'm not calling like a guy who doesn't tow trucks. I'm calling you're a tow company. The whole thing just made me so mad. I go, I'm good. He was like, what? I go, yeah, I'm all right.

and hung up. I love that. And then, you know, I didn't find anybody else to call, but I'll find somebody else. Three more years. I'll get that mini man out of it. It is good. I mean, it's like those places should just go out of business and people just got to go. There's, there is a weird, like they, people don't want to work. People don't want to like, there's professionalism is kind of dying and it's dying in a lot of ways. Uh, it's dying in, you know, I mean, every, in, in just a lot of stuff.

I think even entertainment and to, yeah, food service and to,

a doctor's like, it's just like, there's just not this. It's too loose, loosey goosey. And we're all, everybody's too dressed down and to this. And I mean, I, you know, I mean, I can say I'm, I'm part of it, but it's, yeah. We're also a comedy podcast. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. But, but we, even if we're, yeah, we can do this, but as you have to have the professionalism of what you're putting out, you know, I don't know.

Yeah. I mean, at the airport though, I always think about that. Just the way people are dressed. Not everybody, but I'm like, when I, when I see like pajama pants, it really does bother me where I'm like, what? You can't put on just some jeans. Like it's not hard to put on jeans.

Just do it. Like if you got some issue, fine, but I'm talking normal. What kind of issue? I don't know. Like if you're real big or something. One foot's bigger than the other. Yeah. I mean, you know. Sweatpants are about all you can wear. I just want to be sensitive to the one person listening. It's like, I can't wear jeans, you know, but, but you know.

And you want to go, but they could still. Yeah. You can find a pair. It might not look the way you want it to, but you can get into some. Yeah. But it's like, yeah, it's sloppy out here. Yeah. Uh,

Did we have any other thing? I was in Washington. We had great shows. This is Paul Bunyan. I was in Bangor. Well, the whole weekend was D.C., basically D.C., then Fairfax, Virginia, which is like 16 miles from downtown D.C., George Mason University. Nice.

And then Providence, Rhode Island. And then Bangor, Maine. Bangor, Maine. That's all they say? Bangor. That's what I think. That's what someone told me. But this is Paul Bunyan. They gave me this sweatshirt. And it was like, Paul Bunyan's a tough, you know, when you're like trying to fill out. It's like, is he from here? And there's an argument that he is. And then you're like, is he real? Because Minnesota claims him too. Yeah.

Where do they get a golf club that big? I don't know. Don't they claim the Finger Lakes are him too? The Finger Lakes in New York? I don't know. He fell down, he put his hand, he created the lakes. He was that big. So he's not real. Or was it an ancient giant? Maybe he roamed around the country. Keith Alberson has a joke about that. Is he redheaded? I mean, he didn't look redheaded there, but is he? I don't think so. I was worried you were looking at that.

depiction on that sweater and asked if he was red. Well, Native Americans, you don't have stories of redheaded giants that used to live in North America. So we talked about it on the mythical creatures. Yeah. So I wonder if Paul Bunyan was, you know, a redheaded guy that makes them a little more scary. Yeah. Who knows? But yeah, I have heard Keith Albers. That's Paul Bunyan. Joe Gary's niece was on my flight.

The one late night Nashville. And I was like, what's the, I was trying to think who's the most famous person in

has ever been on a flight that you've been on you fly southwest so probably you or henry cho he's sitting next to you now when i float with henry he goes i'm not sitting next to you yeah henry gets his own i've flown with john chris on a southwest flight before i don't know uh that's it you say um i know eddie george was in your seat one time yeah i was trying to think who was kristin chenoweth was on my flight uh

Like three weeks ago, two weeks ago. From the West Wing. Yeah. I'm not good at recognizing people. Al Gore. I've had Al Gore on a flight. Yeah? Yeah. You'd recognize a country singer. Al Gore's a big dude. Yeah. Is he big? I'm pretty sure what I remember, I felt like he was like a big, he's like kind of a big guy. He's bigger than your, you know, like an athlete big. Like tall? Oh, just like large. Just like a large dude.

Unless I don't remember that correctly at all. I always feel like big time politicians are big dudes. Some of them are small. But I feel like overall, they're pretty big dudes. I think leaders in general are big people. Bigger than average? Yeah. I think that adds a level of intimidation if you're a real big dude. Vince Vaughn. Vince Vaughn on a flight. That's a big one. Also a big guy. Yeah. Also a big guy. That was in Chicago.

Chicago to LA. Jalen Rose. Yeah, these all beat mine. I mean, Bates is probably my top five. So my list stinks. You guys are fine. There's no one. No one's going. Where are you going? Charlotte. Yeah. Yeah. But that's Lieutenant Dan. I mean, that's a big one, dude. Yeah. He has a foundation here in Nashville.

I think he lives here. Oh, does he? I think so. Okay. It was like a wounded warrior or whatever foundation that he helps with. I think they're based here. Lieutenant Dan band. He's in a band. Okay. And they play shows for veterans and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Good dude.

The shirt I mentioned last week, I got it the week before when I was in Florida and then I left it in my rental car. There's shirts for all of you guys. I left it in my paycheck in the rental car. So they sent it to me. So I wore it. I brought you guys our one. So very nice. It's awesome. Yeah.

Yeah, and all the fun, classic Nateland lines. A lot of Nateland lines on there. Nateland. Yeah. What's your source? No, so. What's your source is a deep cut, dude. Yeah. That was three years ago.

Yeah. It's crazy. They said, we sent you three larges and an extra large. And then there was like a 10 second pause and they go for Aaron. Yeah. And I was like, yeah, I know. Yeah. Still too small. Yeah. I think I'm going to get that extra large. Yeah. So anyway. Were y'all anything? Y'all just boring lives? Yeah.

I was touring the Dakotas this weekend. Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Look, here's a random not to stop. You're probably about to roll into something pretty good. Not really. You picked up on that? Yeah, it does. I was thinking where I watched Elvis just talk about the professionalism

I watched Elvis. Oh, it had nothing to do with what I was talking about? No, no. It was the end of Elvis, the movie. Okay. They show like the one clip of him seeing Unchained Melody and he's, you know, he dies six weeks. It's a video of, he dies six weeks after this.

and i was watching it and he was in uh he's doing the video and he's singing it and it's seeing look up the elvis unchained melody it was like this is kind of when i started thinking about like this is what makes me uh it's it's got to be like live it's not this is live and yeah no there's a video of them oh okay yeah performing uh performing it yeah so like

I think this is the one. Yeah. Oh my. So yeah. Like he's been, he does six weeks after this. Can you hear it? Or yeah, I don't want to play too much of it. Get a flag, but Oh, he's got two Cokes. All right. He's got two, two Coke cups in front of him. But like, so he's, this is what made me kind of think about this stuff. And this was about, cause it's like the whole Elvis movie. They're talking about, he's a, he loves his fans, right? He loves his fans. And, uh,

This dude, you know how bad this guy feels? Like at the point being he's overweight, by the way, like it's the alcohol, it's the...

Fast food, the Cokes, everything. This dude feels miserable on the inside of his body and the outside. He just can't feel great. He goes, but when he goes out there, it's about those fans. It's about a show. I was watching it this weekend and I just couldn't. I was like, this is it.

It made me, I was like, I want to try, I want to start playing it before we go on stage. Just to remind, it doesn't matter what you feel in that moment. I mean, you know where this is at? Rapid City, South Dakota. And that's what made me think of it. That's where that's at. That's not in LA. That's not in New York. That's in Rapid City, South Dakota. How many people...

artist do you think could go phone it in

In Rapid City, South Dakota. Because what's the point? He's at a point. He doesn't need to go to Rapid City at this point in his career. But this dude is singing his heart out. And it's unreal. And he doesn't look good. He doesn't. But it's like it's about them. And I just like this. It was. I don't know. Aaron voted in this weekend. Yeah. The Elvis stuff makes me so sad. Because that's why I won't watch that movie. But it makes me so sad.

Well, I just think he was such like a... Because what you're saying, I mean, he doesn't feel good. He dies soon after this. And it's like, he was such an amazing performer and seemingly a very nice guy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know. I agree with all this stuff. But it's like, it's the... I'm just saying it's the idea of like, that's what you do. When you go out there, that's what you do. There's a professionalism to it. So that...

And that it goes in everything, in everything that you can do. Not saying you're, if you're waiting tables, you're not thinking like, I want to be a professional waiter. You're doing it for that time being, but go be a professional for that. Right. Yeah. Two years. You got to wait. Take pride in your job. Yeah. And it's, uh, and I think that stuff shows out into this. I mean, it's insane. I was just watching it and it's just like,

I mean, he's miserable. He shouldn't. They ran out of mic stands. I mean, he could have done a fine job. Yeah. Well, it's like, yeah. Well, that's South Dakota's fault. Yeah. Well, you are unrapped. I mean, they're not going to have... He's like, I will do the best with what you give me. I think that guy holds that mic all the time. Really? I think so. I mean, you think it's just a one time and he's also wearing the same jacket as Elvis. He goes...

I didn't know if he's another guy in the band and he's just helping for this one song. I can't imagine you could pull a band guy over. Steve on the drums, you might come holding this mic for me for a second. I got to play a piano, which you know nothing about. This guy probably, though, is like, I used to hold the mic for Elvis. I mean, that's a credit. I would hold that mic. Yeah, me too. Yeah, I mean, it's, yeah, it's, he's, you could argue, the most important person there at the moment.

But I mean, it's, it's, it's just look at him and I, you do it. You hate where he was at and that stuff's sad, but it's something to be said about when he walked out there. It's like, you know, and the whole movie, the Elvis movie is just saying he did it. He loves the faint. He never wanted to, like, it was like, he wants to give them a show. He wants to give them, you didn't, you know, unless I know stories, I don't know, but it's

It seemed he never went out. It was never the audience's fault. It was the relationship between him and the audience was pure performance and pure respect and understanding that they are there and they deserve the highest I can give them at every point is every point going to be the, I mean, they're going to, you know, but in general, it's no matter what he's doing the best he can, he's doing, he's given it everything. Yeah.

That's pretty. Yeah. All right. That's what that's what. So that's where it was. I like that. Because you were in Rapid City. Yeah. I look like that a little bit. I'm doing some of my shows right there. Sweating like that. Yeah. Yeah. Sioux Falls and then Fargo. Great weekend. I didn't spend any time there at all. Really. That's like a corner of the country that I'd never been to. I've never been to South Dakota. It was fun. I've been in North Dakota. South Dakota. Sioux Falls is a cool town.

I had their delicacies. What they told me, I went to a diner there, and they had a sour cream and raisin pie. You heard that? Doesn't that sound horrible? Awful. I mean, a sour cream pie sounds awful. A raisin pie sounds awful. Just sour cream sounds awful to me. Sour cream raisin pie. And it's on the menu, and it says Midwest favorite. So I asked the server, and I go...

Is this like, this is like a Sioux Falls thing. She's like, oh, she's like, oh yeah, we sell out every day here. She's like, I'd give you one, but we're, we're, I mean, it's 11 a.m. We've been out for hours. Right. And then she comes back a couple minutes later and goes, I found a slice for you.

And I tried it and I was so excited to talk about it. Dude, I could not find a single person that cared about that pie all weekend. That woman lied to me. Nobody cared about the sour cream and raisin pie. And she just happened to find it. Maybe it was just that restaurant. That's a sales technique. Nobody had heard of it. They're like, what are you talking about? She created her own demand. Yeah, but it said Midwest favorite. I'm going to get the signature dish where I'm at. And it was not the signature dish.

What is it? Now, that lady is a professional. Yeah, she's a professional. She knows how to sell a pie. She is Elvis. Her and Elvis are the same.

That may be the woman watching him in that video. Yeah, this is what it looked like right here. She's the one holding the mic. Aaron's the one eating it. She's holding the spoon. While Aaron sweats. Keep it coming. But great weekend. Thank you to everybody that came out. Fargo and Sioux Falls. She goes, we have this sour cream raisin pie. That sounds terrible, but I'll take two of them. Yeah.

You got to try it. When am I going to see this on a menu ever again? Where'd she find that slice too? Yeah. We got a sucker about there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She got me.

Well, I went to Indianapolis, Helium, great weekend. I sold out six shows and very fun, a hot weekend. Small room? No, no. And I've been going to Indianapolis for years and years and years. And so this is the first time this has happened. So it was really great. People were awesome. And they were so fun. Yeah.

And, you know, I felt a little like Elvis. Some of those shows I felt not good. And I went out and I, you know, I got a lot of digestive issues. So sometimes I'll be in the green room burping a lot. You've probably seen it. And then and then, yeah. So then I go out there and the burps go away and I feel like it's some psychological issue I deal with. And then it's a great show. I feel good. Yeah.

But you're backstage struggling. Yeah. And then I go out and I'm like, this is what it's all about. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Dizzy and burping. Yeah. You got a lot going on. That rules, though. It looks like. Very exciting. You guys don't always eat the best, but it looks like you wear the perfect jean. I do wear the perfect jean. I'm so excited to talk about it. Dusty and I are both wearing right now. Today's sponsor.

The perfect jean. Man, I love these jeans. I've been wearing them nonstop. I got to go nothing. Consider that promise kept, my friends. We stick to our work. We stick to it. It's the mission statement. John Tierney.

Tire. No, no. Tyranny. Probably exactly right. Tyranny. Tyranny. Yeah. Tyranny. Hello, bear. New form of it. So hello, folks. And hello, bear. I'm an old man. Seventy four who learned of Nate Bargetts and his comedy about eight months ago. Around Christmas, I learned of the concept of a podcast in January. I found Nate Land. I've been listening to many of your old podcasts.

but I was being selective listening to shows that Nate was hosting because I enjoy his comedy. Today, for the first time, I listened to a show where Nate was absent. It was hilarious, great show, podcast. What a concept. Thank you, John. John Tierney, he gets it. Thanks for taking a shot. Yeah. It's a different. I saw one comment that said, Nate Land Without Nate's my second favorite podcast. I love that. That's great. Nate Land.

That's when we just call it Nate. The Nate one. Video Pro. You get that? Yeah. Yeah, it's good. I think everybody got it. Everybody got it. I was going to get it. Yeah. Well, I got to check sometimes. I got to see what's going on. Yeah. Video Pro. I audibly gasped. Gasped.

When Aaron triple tapped the back of his phone. Yeah. That's a feature. A lot of people don't know, but you can customize tap in the back of your phone to do whatever you want on your iPhone. Yeah. I did it once. I found out about it. He's like a video show you or something. Yeah. And then, uh,

I did my flashlight, and it's just a nightmare. You're just doing the action. Oh, yeah. There's no point. I mean, it's just too many. It's not convenient to be like, tap in the back of your phone. You don't have to do it like that. Yeah, you have to. You can just kind of do it the right way. Weird that this guy is video pro, though. Did he audibly gasp because he was excited to see somebody using this type of feature or that he was shocked that it was happening? I don't know. Either way, I appreciate it, man. I'll take your gasp.

I'm going for gaffes these days. We were saying this weekend, like you think it's, you know, because a lot of people, we had great comics this week. We had Dustin Chapes and Johnny W. But Derek Stroop was out this weekend. And he's not been out with us before. I know Derek Stroop, but I didn't know him well. Very, very funny.

And, but he was saying like we try, he had us try root beer with the half and half. Like, cause he's someone, he said one of his friends told him that you get, you get A&W root beer and put half and half in it. And it's like really good.

It tastes great. It's like a trend on... Like a root beer float? Yes. Almost. It makes it like a root beer float. And so it started like a trend. But he said one of his buddies just told him that he did it. And then someone else was like, oh, yeah, that's like going on TikTok. And he's like, oh, I thought like my buddy invented this. And it's, you know, people do that. That's a lot. Doesn't it happen more when people say stuff? Oh, yeah. And there's a little bit more where they just go, you know, yeah, you know, yeah.

Birds can't fly in the rain. And you're like, you just know that? Yeah, nobody just knows it now. It all comes off the internet. Are you saying people take credit for it? Yeah. Yeah, they take credit. They say it. And then they go, how do you know that? You go, they go, I just know. They don't reveal their sources. And you want to go, say you watched a video. If they said, I read it in a book, I think you would feel better because at least you had to go. Sure. We all know how hard that is. Mm-hmm.

But when you're just like, I was just mindlessly scrolling. I learned this in four seconds. Yeah. You know, Derek Stroop posted that this was his favorite weekend of comedy doing that show with him. Oh, really? And I find that interesting because he did a weekend with me at Looney's Comedy Club in Colorado Springs, Colorado. So-

You weren't selling out shows back then. No, but I would think that would still be his favorite. It should have been his favorite. Yeah, so I was pretty offended by it. Yeah. Well, I made sure he posted that. He also comes out with John Crist every weekend. That's true. Becky Brandt, when you make butter from churning cream, it ends up separating into two things, butter and buttermilk.

So that's why it's called buttermilk. It's the milk left over from making butter. Okay. Okay. That's good to know. I thought that's what you said. Yeah. You were close. I didn't know exactly, but I knew it was, I mean, buttermilk is not good to me. I never liked it. My mom growing up was, they were poor, right? So they would drink buttermilk all the time. But once in a while they would get what they called sweet milk. And that's the milk we know. Yeah. And that was a treat to get that? Yeah.

It's like finding that sour cream pie. Exactly. I found a jug. Yeah, you found a jug of sweet cream in the back. Yeah. You ever heard of sweet acidophilus? Yeah, that's what I used to drink. It's in a yellow one. What is that? Is that a Nashville thing because of purity? Acidophilus? Yeah.

I did it because of my buddy, Ron. I mean, we'd get it. And I used to always buy sweet acidophilus milk. Is that the Roman god of milk? I don't know what it is, but when I was a kid, my grandma would have in a yellow jug purity sweet acidophilus milk. And I don't even know what that means. Could have came up with a better name, that's for sure. It's like a dinosaur. It's dinosaur milk. Yeah. It's tough to even get going on Google. You don't even... Acidophilus. Yeah, but you got to probably type in milk. Yeah. Like...

Sweet. Oh, acidophilus right there. Yeah. Purity dairy. Sweet acidophilus. Never heard of that in my life, dude. Yeah. Wow. Nashville's hometown dairy. Okay. Yeah. So what was it like? How would you compare it to other milk? Just like Dr. Pepper. Yeah.

I don't know. It was just good milk. Yeah. I don't know. Was it just like, I mean, it just, you can't really tell the difference between that and milk? Well, that's in a white jug, but the one I remember was a yellow jug. Yeah. So let's say- The gallon was yellow. Somebody brought you cereal with acidophilus in it and they said, here's cereal and milk. Could you eat it and go, let's not.

Milk, this is acidophilus. I don't think it was that different. No. Okay. Well, you know what it's got? The regular milk doesn't have streptococcus thermophilus. That's how you get strep throat. I was going to say, it's strep throat. Put a tongue depressor in there. I'm telling you, this could be, doesn't it look like all dinosaur names? Streptococcus thermolipus. Lactobacillus acidophilus. Vergaricureus.

acidophilus, vinofitarium. You know, they could. Here's my theory. And Dusty, I feel you'll back me up on this. They could have simpler words for all this, but they want it to be. You don't know what it is. Yeah. Yeah. They don't want to put that it's some type of fluid from a sore that the cow had. Yeah. Oh, my God. I mean, what would you call that in one word, though?

I didn't know if that word was even acceptable on the podcast. It seems gross. Well, it seems gross. But, you know, it's like that's what they say about when milk is sold as prepackaged chocolate milk or strawberry milk, that it was something going on with the cow's udders. So the milk was discolored. So they just added chocolate or strawberry to it so that they could because it's still safe. But it's it's a bad color just to get the color out of the way. Yeah.

Interesting. See, Dusty always attributes his sources. It's always they. He doesn't need credit for it. He's just like, yeah, there's no need to dig in. Last week we- But I mean, is chocolate milk only around because milk offers- Like, there are milk, they're doing the wrong colored milk. There's enough to rely on it? Maybe. I don't know. I mean, I would think that-

Maybe they were making chocolate milk, and then suddenly this started happening with the cows, and they were like, you know what? Let's use that milk for the chocolate milk now. Save some money. Yeah. So maybe not all the chocolate milk is that. Chocolate milk's pretty good. It's pretty special. Well, I like to make my own. I don't want to buy it prepackaged. The carton you used to get at school, that never was good to me.

I love chocolate milk, but I never liked that. I like the milk. I didn't like the paper getting wet. Yeah. The first guy to ever drink chocolate with milk, Irish botanist Hans Sloan. Look at this, dude. Doesn't this look like a guy who's taking chances in the kitchen? He's like, what if I pour this in my acidophilus milk? And he changed the world. What's a botanist? They study plants. Probably has the time on his hands. Yeah.

Yeah, he found the local Jamaican beverage consisting of cacao and water, but he added milk to it, and he was like, this is way better. Man, I didn't know there was a single inventor. I thought it was just something you do organically. Maybe that's something that it's a single inventor because that's something people are just like, you're a moron. And then he just...

kept pounding away right and it was almost like you couldn't even say it was someone else because this guy was so annoying about chocolate milk because the first people probably be like i'm not eating you know your weird milk you're putting what and what old dr sloan he just had to do a lot of milk back then right it was all milk it was a big part of your life yeah uh brandon hubert

As a pharmacist, I've heard of people taking some wild supplements, but I have to say, Dusty's cow gallbladder pills is a first. Hilarious that he kind of struggles to explain what they even are. I'm a big Dusty fan, so I would love to team up and get his own line of supplements rolling.

Yeah, I mean, they have a whole line of cow parts, you know, that are because it's, you know, kind of an ancient belief that, you know, you can take like parts of like you would eat like a cow liver to help your liver. You would get the parts, you know, so that's kind of what this is. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't, you know, I mean, I read about it, but I didn't, you know, I didn't memorize it. So that's why I'm struggling to explain, but it's interesting.

I did read about it and I go, this sounds interesting. And I took it and I didn't feel any worse than I normally feel. So there you go. So you just kept doing it. Yeah.

But it's the idea is that, you know, because they have digestive enzymes that you take. This is what I think happened to me. I used to have acid reflux, still do. But for 10 years, I took this Prilosec, which they say is a 14 day treatment. Yeah. But I took it for 10 years. And I feel like that I trained the part of my body that produces stomach acid to not produce some stomach acid. So now I'm not, I don't have enough stomach acid to

digest food properly, which is why I burp all the time. So you can take digestive enzymes, which are a little bit of stomach acid that's supposed to help you break it down. And that's kind of what these pills are too. Yeah. Okay. That's my own diagnosis based on seeing a lot of doctors, hearing a lot of things, and they never like know what to do. So I've been piecing it together myself. Yeah. I believe in you. Jordan Porter.

Aaron complaining about people using clear and jumping ahead of him at the airport, but then raving about using an app to jump the line at the car rental place is hilarious. Well, what's the difference, Aaron? I think I might have misspoke. I didn't I don't have an app to jump the line. I was able to check in for my reservation through the enterprise app. So then you can walk right to the car, right? Walk to the car, which I think speeds everything up for everybody still.

It still proves my point. Why don't you like Clear? Because Clear, it's literally just a line-cutting service. It doesn't speed up airport security as a whole. Whereas TSA PreCheck is good for everybody. It's a net good for all of TSA and everybody getting through it. Clear is just...

You wait in line and then some dork gets escorted up to the front. Sorry, Dustin. Just gets brought up to the front of the line. And you're like, well, you're not helping anything. You're literally just cutting a line. You're helping that guy.

That guy's being helped, but it does nothing for the overall speed. What about the clear employees? I hope they go bankrupt. I don't care what they do. I agree with you, but I do love it. I don't know. I got clear pre-check. With clear pre-check, it's great. You just go because then you got two options. I think it's for the people that travel a lot.

Versus the people that don't travel a lot. It doesn't matter how smooth of transition you have. If you've got families and people checking in, it's going to be a problem. And so if you're a traveler all the time, it's like, here's two more different options that I don't think it's slowing that line down.

No, it doesn't do any good. It just cuts people in the line. I know, but I'm saying it's kind of like if you want to look into it, if you want to go do it, if you want to spend the money and you fly a lot, here's a little convenient thing that you can go do that kind of speeds your process up. Right. No one's denying it's great for the person that uses it. But I'm saying if you use TSA PreCheck, that's good for everybody. Yeah.

The people in general boarding benefit from that. How? Because they have their own lanes. Clear doesn't have its own lane. They just take you and drop you in front of one or the other. Clear PreCheck does. They put you in front of the PreCheck lane.

That's what I'm saying. Well, I could advocate for a clear line. I would go for that. Give us our own lane for clear. Maybe we don't even have to get our bags x-rayed. That's what I'm talking about. But they don't have to do it. You just go up and show your ID, then you just go. It's a very quick kind of thing. But think about if everybody had clear at the airport.

Well, then no, then it wouldn't matter. But the thing is, is you're just trying to go to pre-checks become a problem because pre-check. I don't think it's become a problem. I think it's great. I think it's great. No, no. But I mean, people know about it more, you know, pre-check for years, uh,

was, I mean, hay bales are going through there. No one's in. It was great. But then you go, start going. Then I remember days where you'd pay for the pre-check, then they'd be like, they'd just start sending people through pre-check. And then you're like furious because you're like, these people don't even have pre-check. And they're just trying to speed up all of it. But now pre-check, there's some lines where you can, some airports where pre-check can be, I've gone,

Not pre-check because it was quicker to go regular than pre-check because pre-check line was so long. In Nashville, pre-check is quicker than clear in Nashville. Almost every time. I just don't do clear because pre-check's faster. By the time somebody comes up to you and goes, oh, come on over here. Come on over here and put your eyes in front of this thing. Couldn't you argue those pre-check lanes, if they didn't exist, there'd be more general boarding lanes. It'd be moving faster for everyone. Yeah.

You could argue that, but I don't think we're that. I think there's plenty of lanes to most airports. There's plenty of lanes. I think it's about giving you the option for, I think you got to split up the option about

You know, like the people that are flying and they're not, a lot of people are not going to do clear pre-check because they fly once a year. But then the ones that are. Do you want to use clear in places other than the airport? Would you want to use clear? Let's say you go to Starbucks and there's a clear. Would you want it? It's a mobile app. His show this weekend, they had that.

What? Someone posted that they were standing in line for your show and they came up and said, if you have clear, come up here. And you got to get out of line and go up there. Oh, you're bought and paid for. That's what this is. Big clear has gotten to us. Big clear. I did not know that. That's interesting. That's what they said. They said the average clear customer uses it 12 times a year. Their dream is to use it 12 times a day.

Like everywhere you go, there's a clear lane. Well, that seems excessive. That's what I'm saying. I always say that when you say that. Anyway, I don't even understand. I don't think there'd be 12 lines a day. Like, I mean, Walmart, you go pretty awesome. Any, anywhere you go, think about anywhere you go. You can just, you get to just cut people because you have clear.

So you're saying Walmart, the checkout lane. Yeah. I mean, back in the day, now they have self-checkout where it's fine. But back in the day, Walmart would have like one lane open and you'd be in this, you go in there for one thing and you're there 45 minutes waiting in line. I don't know what the benefit is though in Walmart.

I think it's like going into a show, I guess is like, you don't have to go through the security cause we've already done a security search on you. So you're approved. Like that's the point of it. Yeah. Just getting out of line at Walmart is like, well, this guy, the government knows about this guy. Let's let him check out quicker. Yeah. I don't think that makes sense. Well,

Well, I don't, you know, I wouldn't mind though, just the idea of like, yeah, I'll just scan my two fingers here and I skipped this whole line at Walmart. Yeah. People get, I know it gets, yeah, people can get mad, but it's just like, it's another option. And so I think if you fly a lot, it just, I never thought of it like that. I want all the shortcuts I can possibly get in the airport. I'm sure you do.

What if you could use clear to skip to the front of the Southwest line? I got status with Southwest. I worked hard to get to the side of that line, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Talking to a 16 right here, brother. Come on. All right.

Cameron Clark, I have a standing desk and treadmill that I usually do two miles a day on. I had already done it today, but after hearing Aaron almost walking a marathon, I had to get it back out. Thanks for the exercise motivation. That's what I'm talking about, dude. A lot of people reached out and asked for the model, the treadmill. I never thought I'd be a treadmill influencer, but here I am, dude. How far do you walk?

On average, about 10 miles a day. 10 miles? You did 18 in one day? I did 18 in one day. I was just to see how much I can do. While doing emails? Yeah, while editing videos for the podcast or emails or whatever. Just walking on it. How many hours is that? I mean, we don't believe it, but...

I sent you all the data. Did you really put it on your leg? Yeah, I put the Apple Watch on my ankle. Well, that's why it's supposed to be on your wrist. It's racking up really fast. Why do you put it on your ankle? What do you mean it's racking up really fast? The motion is making it feel like you're going a lot faster than you really are. You mean the motion of me walking on the treadmill? You can calibrate it.

so that it works with a treadmill. Did someone put it on for you? But if you put the F...

No. I've got an ankle strap for it. It's like a vertigo. Wait, you can wear an Apple Watch on your ankle? You can get a longer ankle strap. Is that just because you can't? No. What are you talking about? Well, it's just extra straps. You've got extra straps southwest. You're just an extra strap guy. It's not a seatbelt extension. Everything you put on, you've got to go...

Hey, do you got a little extra, though, back there? Every strap you are involved with. I'll take your watch and a little extra of that. You know what I'm talking about. I need a little more slack. I don't understand. Does it not work on your wrist? Well, if your arms are up typing on a keyboard, it's not going to track your steps. Okay.

And your mileage. I got you. You can calibrate it and put it on your ankle. But if you got the treadmill, does it show you how far you're walking? The treadmill does too. The treadmill will track it. What are you walking? What speed? Anywhere. Depending on what I'm doing, 2.4 miles per hour to 3.2. If I'm just watching something, I can go fast. 3.2 is good. But if I'm typing emails, I need to be a little slower or else I can't really type. Yeah. I mean, how long would it take you to walk 18 miles? I mean, it was all day. Yeah. Yeah.

It shuts off after 99 minutes, this model I had. So I did that four times. 99 minutes, four times? Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. I'm telling you, man. A lot of people don't believe me, but that's okay, dude. That's like a little over six hours, right? Yeah. Yeah.

It was a long day. I wonder why people don't believe you. I get it. Look, I wouldn't believe me either. I'm not saying it's in character, but I'm saying it didn't happen. Is there a refrigerator on the desk? That'd be pretty good. I thought about having one of those.

Or the standing one. Yeah, it's the best. Mary Ellen Goodwin. Aaron, there's a name for you sister has. It's called misophonia. My son has it. Misophonia may cause a reaction to sounds such as dripping water, chewing, snapping gum, or repetitive noises such as pencil tapping. How about that? Yeah, I don't... I think...

I can't remember what I said. I'm aware that it's a real medical condition. What I'm doubtful of is whether my sister actually had it. And because miraculously, the last 15, 20 years, I haven't heard a thing about it. But when she was growing up in our house, it was an everyday thing. We're not around her much now.

But I'm saying there's still noises around in her life. I think certain people can just start to irritate you. That's what it is. Yeah. And so she's just – and I think that's what this is. You're just like – you're irritated with people. Yeah, that's what it is. It's not you. It's the sounds you're making. Yeah. Right. It's generally everything you're doing. Like if you're a roommate with someone and they've started to irritate you, suddenly everything they do – They do. Yeah. Yeah.

triggers are commonly repetitive stimuli and are primarily related to the human body chewing eating smacking lips slurping coughing throat clearing sniffing and swallowing and then once you get focused on it you just can't focus on anything else that's just all you hear yeah is there are those that happen nose whistling yeah some type of ocd situation yeah

I feel like that's just normal. Yeah, I think so. Melissa Ladden. I would like to know the order in which the band arrives to record this podcast. Here's my guess. Nate, Breakfast, Aaron, Dusty. Maybe Aaron and Dusty arrive at the same time. I don't know. But I do think Breakfast would arrive before Nate if it wasn't in his home. Maybe he does. Today I did. You were here before me today.

Yeah, I would say that's not the order, though. I'd say usually you're last.

Well, maybe I was going to say it's pretty red. Like, I don't think there's any. It's in order of who cares about this podcast the most. Brian's usually last. I'm first. Yeah, Nate's first. Always first. And me and Dusty right after him. Nate's first, but he lives here. I'm first. Actually, today you weren't here first. Yeah. A lot of times he's last. There's a lot of times, even though I live here, I am the last one to sit down.

I'm usually still working on the podcast. That's true. I was kidding earlier. You guys roll up and be like, hey, what are we talking about today? I'm a very on-time guy. People don't think that about me, but I'm very on time. Yeah. Yeah. I can be running. Yeah. I had to drive. You know what I did? I had to do a phone call, kind of a long phone call today. And I just got the car in drill.

You don't do that as much anymore, do you? No, but I've had to do it a few times because I've had a few calls and I'll just be like, I'll just call you. It's just nice to just go take a big lap around wherever. Because it's like talking and driving is easy. It feels better than just sitting here. You're out. You feel like you're doing something right. I'm going somewhere. Brian Fox says,

SNL regularly brings back successful sketches or characters. For example, there's been multiple David S. Pumpkins appearances by Tom Hanks. Given the success of Nate's episode and specifically the George Washington sketch, would Nate go back for a cameo in a future episode to reprise that role if asked? I could see Nate-style Washington being a hit as a recurring weekend update segment.

No, I wouldn't. No, I wouldn't. Next. No, yeah. Yeah, I would. Of course. Yeah. I feel like I don't know where you're going to put them in, though. It's like specifically that thing. The weekend update idea sounds fun.

But just what's the character? You just keep making jokes about the metric system and stuff. It's the setting. I don't know if it was me. It wasn't me being George Washington what was funny. It was what George Washington was talking about. So if George Washington was more the other way, I think you could. But you could maybe do another sketch.

with George Washington of this kind of thing of another, here's another thing that doesn't make sense and you kind of change it. That you could do. But yeah, George Washington coming out of nowhere. I mean, unless you had another sketch about that has nothing to do with George Washington, but it's about something ridiculous that people use and he could pop in and make and he goes, I agree. Like, you know, or something you can make a thing like that. Like Easter. Yeah.

It could be about, you know, Easter is supposed to be about resurrection, but it's a bunny, eggs, stuff like that. That just makes no sense. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm sure that's what SNL wants to talk about. The true meaning of Easter. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. I'm just trying to help you along. That's a perfect point. This is very funny. Yeah. This guy's good. Yeah. This guy's good. That's what you're going to pitch him? Well, you know, guys...

Church never starts when it says it's going to start. I'm not afraid to hide my face, but if you are, that's fine. We saw it in the episode. Where I didn't cuss or anything? Yeah. You saw it. Kevin Allen. Nate mentioned keeping it clean, but certainly a less than Christian joke. Wait.

Nate mentioned keeping it clean, but certainly a, quote, less than Christian joke concept has come up at some point.

What is the possibility of him keeping a Dirty Joke notebook and then touring with it under a pseudonym sort of like Garth Brooks did with Chris Gaines? Nate could just grow his hair out and we'd all be fooled by this breakout foul-mouthed cool guy. Speaking of that, yeah, I would never even have it. It's like I couldn't even do it.

I'm just doing what I'm doing. And so it's like my, my mentality is like too much. I'd have to really switch. Like you, you would have to, I'm just not going to be comfortable doing it. So I'm not going to be, once you're not committed, I'm never going to be able to do it. I really don't like, uh, I mean, it's a very funny idea of like doing it.

I got 10 minutes I'd like to do right now. Yeah. I told you. Just grow your hair out. I said to Jeff Foxworth on his radio show, I was like, yeah, I was like, just like once my parents die, I'm going to be just dirty after that. Yeah. But it's, no, I don't have any. Yeah. I just, it's got to be what you want to do and what you can commit to it. So I wouldn't be able to, I would have a hard time doing it.

And I, yeah, you know, but yeah. Well, I don't, yeah. I mean, I, yeah, I got some old jokes, but I don't do it now for like that reason too. It's like, I don't know. Now people know me for a different type of humor. So I would feel like it would be a betrayal.

to like come out with some real dirt and not even my dirty 10 that I would say I have is really not that dirty. Not that dirty, not that clean, just dusty. Right. Exactly. That's what it's all about. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Just be, yeah. Yeah. Just be you. I see interesting to write. Like I've, you know, you write a standup act. Like, could you write, you know, like I, like now I think about what to write for the next hour. Yeah.

I'm starting to think of that. But it's like, I wouldn't think of it like that, but I don't know. I don't really have an answer for it yet because I don't know the direction to go in. John White, we booked our tickets to see Nate at the Netflix Comedy Festival. When you have four headliners at a show like that, how long does each comedian normally go on for? I would love to see the full set of each of them, but I have a hard time imagining this will be a four-hour show.

We also booked tickets to see Dusty and Leigh-Anne Morgan, but unfortunately, we're flying out the day before Aaron. Oh, no. That's okay. That's all right. I think they did the right stuff. Yeah. Dude, those were the three I would pick, too. Yeah. I mean, come on. Aaron might be on that flight. His show might get canceled. Aaron? Is that you? Aaron? He's just sitting there, Apple Watch on your...

Ankle. Are you 16? You've got two seats and the seatbelt's coming over. John? He goes...

No, Aaron's show will be amazing. Thank you. The idea of all of y'all doing an hour each is hilarious. Yeah, it would be too much. My suggestion was, or what I said, is I think we probably need a host. So we'll get a host today.

Uh, and then we're going to go out and do, uh, probably 20 minutes, 25 minutes each. I bet. And, uh,

And then at the end of it, all go out together and then probably have some, you know, let people try to pre-write some questions in or something. And then just, you know, kind of like at least have an idea of where that's going. So it is a good show and there is direction. Now, for those who don't know, who are the four comedians? Sebastian Maniscalco, Jim Gaffigan, me, Jerry Seinfeld. Wow. What a show. What a show. Yeah. All doing an hour.

All do it in an hour. Yeah. Yeah, that would be, I mean, going last on that would be brutal. Second, you could only go first or second. And second would be tough. But first or second, you at least be like, I mean, begging for first.

and then go on second. Host us 30. I mean, yeah. It's like, I don't know. You could, I wonder if you could be like, hey, everybody go do 30, 35 minutes. And you're like, we're going to reset. Maybe you could do that. That's a long show, man. I know it's a long show, but if you're like, here's four comics, write a 30 minute, you know, it's like in your head, like I would just put together a 30 minute set. That's why it's like doing 20,

Everybody's going to be between 20 and 30, I bet. And then it's 25 probably, and then you go out together. Sebastian would have to go last, I would think, just at the end of the four-hour show, just to bring this energy. At that point, you'd need some act out. What are y'all still doing here? Yeah, I don't know what we're going to do. I suggested...

Because the order is like, you know, you're like, I don't want to make Seinfeld go last, but you're just like, I don't know what to do. Like, you're Seinfeld. You're Seinfeld. You guys decide? No. I feel like I'm going to have to spearhead it a little bit. I mean, everybody's going to be fine. You might have to host. You might have to host it. Yeah, I'd host it. But...

I kind of figured it's kind of like a years thing. That's how I always think comedy. I figured I'll go first and then it'll be probably Sebastian, Jim, Seinfeld. Because I don't know who's... I think Jim's been doing it longer than Sebastian. So you just kind of do it by a years thing where you're just like...

hierarchy of hell. I hope y'all fight about it. I hate those guys. He's like, I don't care. You couldn't put me second? I'll tell him, look, I'll go whenever you want. I'll do whatever you want to do. That's the only direction I can think of. Want to tell us about ButcherBox? Get incredible deals and premium cuts from ButcherBox.com.

And then these people in Milwaukee, this girl drew this picture for me. Oh, my gosh. I think this says Lydia. Yeah. But I don't know how to read in cursive, and I'm sorry about that.

Their podcast looks the greatest. It's really crazy. People can draw. I don't know how. I appreciate those things. I wanted to show that off. That's very cool. I don't know how people draw. I don't think I can draw. Do you never doodle stuff in school, really? No. I kept it pretty serious. I drew this guy. I was never a doodler.

I would doodle, but I would do almost like fractals, like geometric designs. Yeah, what's a fractal? You know what a fractal is? No. If you drink a lot of acidophilus. Oh, my fractal's racking up. Is that the person that delivers you the acidophilus? That's what a fractal is. It's like a repeating pattern all around.

like a swoosh. Yeah, I would just draw like random stuff like that. Looks a bit like an octopus. You think that's what led to your fear? So even your downtime is just boring, like education stuff. It's just, even your goofing off from practice. I don't know. I would always balance my checkbook when I got bored. Yeah, checkbook and seventh grade. I don't just pay the bills for the family when I'm bored.

Have you ever written a check? I have. Yeah. I had to write one. I write probably one a year. And last night was it? I mean, just on average, I would say. Okay. But I had to pay something last night. You could pay online. It was going to be $33 more for the process. Convenience fee. Convenience fee. So I thought, I'm just going to write it out. And I started too big.

that lines up that long yeah and it was $1,269.06 and I wrote $1,000 and I'm like uh oh I'm out of space I do that every time it starts real big and then it starts to get by the end it's real crammed up in there yeah like you're just it's going up that's where you buy

Well, it was a bill I had to pay, but then Ruth said, don't put that in the mailbox. She's like, I would take it in the post office. Why? And she said, because check washing, people will steal it and wash the checks. And I'm like, I'll meet you halfway. I'll just put it in a U.S. Postal Service box on the way here, which is what I did. But then my buddies, I thought she was being ridiculous. My buddy, Ben Hall, who said, just had a check stolen from his mailbox and they did $5,000 worth.

worth of stuff. They washed it and rewrote it. So I think it's a big thing.

Catch me if you can. Yeah. It seems like they're going to the right homes. Yeah. They get an idea. Old people who write checks? Yeah, they're finding... Is that what you're getting at? Yeah, as I'm getting at, they know where they're going. But it's interesting you ask that because checks are... I have to look up what goes... how to write it out. I've had to do that before. I remember I wrote my old roommate. I had to write my rent check to him. Yeah.

And I wrote it and I gave it to him and I'm walking out the door and he goes, hey, hey, you forgot to sign the back of this. And I was like, what? He goes, you forgot to sign the back of this. I was like, I wrote the check to you, signed the back up. And we fought about that for like 15 minutes. He's like, no, you got to endorse it so they know that it's your check.

I was like, you endorse it. It's just two 20 something idiotic argument. And I remember being like, so you just think every check you've ever gotten has been wrong.

Yeah. Like every paycheck you've gotten, they just didn't do it correctly. He's like, I never thought about it like that. Yeah. It's kind of fights we were having back then. At Notre Dame? No. This is my room. When I was in Nashville a few years ago. This is when you get out of there. You got out of there. Things change. This is where you, the house you lived in when that someone broke in and stole your Arby's jumpsuit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

This is the real world. He left college. My buddy got into the leftist house. What we arguing about. That's right. It's a ball state argument. You go. Yeah, it is a ball state argument. You go. I can't believe I'm having this conversation. And then it's like, he's like, this is I've been waiting for this conversation my whole life. He's like ready to go about it. He, my, my, my, that's a different house, my roommate, but he, he left, his mom got sick. So he went and stayed with her for a while, came back. This is a Madison, Tennessee.

There's like seven homeless people in his house living there. He had to kick open the door and they're just squatting there. He had to go through and get them all out. The cops came. They just squatted there for two or three months. Just took over his house. Isn't that crazy? It's crazy to think about. Knowing what stuff you had told me about that place and having picked you up there before, there's no doubt that they were like,

Just watching that and go, this guy's not coming back. Yeah. It was rough. It was a rough night.

I mean, do you ever think that you feel relaxed as a squatter? Mentally, you just do not care. Probably on a lot of stuff. Yeah. Well, based on what they found. Yeah. They came in there to get after it. Yeah. So I don't know if they were- Did he own that house? Yeah. Because I don't know how you want to live in there after that. What if you're one of the squatters and you leave something and you go-

And like, you got to go back and go, hi. I left my wallet. Had a lot of cash in it. I don't know if you remember me. I was one of the guys that, do you remember when, because how do you bring that up? You don't go like, obviously, because you could probably knock on their own go, obviously, my wallet's in there. He's going to go,

I don't know if you remember the time that me and five other guys- You were out of town for a little while. You were out of town for a little while. And I lived in this home for two to three months. I subletted this house. I subletted this house without paying and you didn't know about it. I think I left my wallet behind the refrigerator. We were behind the refrigerator more than you would think. Yeah. Yeah, you don't got no copper wires back then. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, I want to talk a little bit about the sun. I don't know if the sun gets enough respect around here. I mean, I was going to wait, but Aaron said it's about to burn out in five billion years, so I thought we'd better get to it. Didn't they just say the sun flare things? Oh, yeah. What about it? Did you have that on there? I heard about it. Yeah. The main topical stuff is sun flare. You're talking about the sun never. What are you talking about? It knocked AT&T out. Oh, that's what caused it? That's what they say. It says solar flares, yeah. Solar flares. You guys believe that?

No, the idea of it is, yeah, no one is pure center, but that's what they said. Solar flares. I don't even know what that means. Just a little extra sun gives a little extra, but she's flares up a little bit. My son's flaring up.

You ever watch a bonfire? Yeah. Every now and then there's a little something gets going on there. Yeah. Something pops off. That's crazy that the sun could just a little... I imagine it's always popping off like that. That's what they say. They'll drop an EMP on us and shut down all our stuff and say it was a solar flare. What's an EMP? Like an electromagnetic pulse. They're supposed to knock out all electronics. Okay. Okay.

Had a lot of trouble saying electronic. Well, we talked about the sun a little bit last week. Dusty and I debated whether sunscreen was good or bad for you. I'm against it. We got into it. Yeah, hard stuff. We also talked about the solar eclipses coming up. Do you know that? There's a...

Full solar eclipse coming up April 8th. We were invited to do a live podcast in Indianapolis, who they say right around there is where it will come. And that's where the X hits because the last one came from the northwest down to the southeast. And this one's coming up from the north, no, the southwest going up to the northeast. So it's going to make an X right across America.

And someone invited us. Well, Aaron jokingly said last week, we should do our podcast from the path where it's going to be totally. And I think people, everyone in the path has invited us. I've gotten multiple emails saying you should come here and do it for the 30 seconds that it will be in darkness. I'm going to be at home protecting my family. Were y'all, did y'all see it when it came, when it came through Nashville? Did y'all see it? Yeah. Can I be potentially stick in the mud? Yeah.

Was that the only one a little unimpressed? I was wildly impressed. You were at a lot of O'Hickory, right? Yeah, I got a video of, I teed off and hit a golf ball. In the dark. In the dark. I mean, that's fine. You were playing golf, so you were having a good time. I was just looking at it. But it's, the crickets in it, I mean, it's insane. Like, it's just out of nowhere, you hear nothing. But I was just watching videos today of people, like, crying.

well i know i don't think it's a spiritual experience well it got dark for yeah but you're talking about a non like that's lunacy there's no one that's like that except the one video you saw so but on planet earth there's four people that are crying but you watch those that video goes viral because the rest of the people are just wouldn't make a funny video they would be like that so no one's like that uh but

But it's crazy just to be like, you hear nothing. And then like that, it goes crickets. And then it's like, it's outside and then back to nothing. And it's like, I mean, crickets, how dumb are they? Like, I mean. Yeah. They're like, Oh, it's dark. Let's get out. I mean, they. They're like, Oh, I feel like I didn't get any sleep. Are you kidding me? Yeah.

This year, they're like, just sleep in your clothes. Yeah. Check yourself. That's what they do. Yeah. Well, I was downtown and it was cloud cover. So I kind of was disappointed. Oh, really? Yeah. I watched it from my house and it was cool. But what I'm saying is I don't know if I would travel to go experience it again. I mean, we were getting it so good in Nashville. I mean, I wish I could see if I have that video.

What's wild about that is ancient civilizations would have really taken that as some sort of a sign. Dude, can you imagine if you're just doing whatever and then that happens? Yeah, and we're out here hitting golf balls and barbecuing and making fun of the crickets. But ancient times, it would be like...

Mm hmm. Well, let's sacrifice some things, you know, in the in the Bible again to bring you back to Jesus's crucifixion. I'll save this for an SNL sketch. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was dark for like three hours.

Oh. While he was on the cross from like noon to three. Okay. And some historians think maybe that was an eclipse. Dark. Did they say dark, physically dark or dark? Like. I mean, I think physically dark. It's a sad time. Like the sun was blocked out. Sun was. Okay. From clouds. Maybe. Yeah. I mean. Yeah. I think it's. There weren't a lot of weather terms back then. Yeah.

I'd rather just say, ah, that didn't happen than to say, oh, there just also happened to be an eclipse that day that lasted from noon to three. What are the odds?

Yeah, three-hour eclipse. How long is this one? A few minutes. Yeah, minutes. Three-hour was. What happened there? Yeah, that's a lot. Yeah, I mean, we had the kids out. It was a great day. Sure. We were playing golf. The kids were at a pool. We're at Old Hickory Country Club. And then we're – so I'm hitting –

And then I was like, we stopped just the middle of the round because it's like you can't see. It gets completely dark. But I mean, I was blown away by it. I mean, it's just insane. Just the middle of the day. It's just completely dark. Sounds like it's dark. And then it goes back to normal. Pretty wild. Yeah. It's a pretty crazy thing. How about this? Delta is offering a flight.

where they follow the eclipse through the air. It's from Austin to Detroit, designed to maximize how much time they spend within the path of totality. And they even have a plane with bigger windows. You just hop on and just follow it along. So you're just in the darkness. Oh, the whole time? Yeah.

For as much as you could. I looked this up last night. It's all, every one sold out. Really? Every flight? Well, there's one flight, but every, every seat is sold out. Now they are offering some later flights. Catch the back end of it. Yeah. I think there's some major league baseball games that are having to move their times because of it. They shouldn't move the time. Just stop the game. Yeah. That's the coolest thing. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know, but I think there's a couple that were going to be day games. They've moved to night.

Wow, that's a missed opportunity. Yeah, yeah. They should just have the lights on and then during the eclipse you keep playing. Do it like Sam Lott. Put some fireworks up in the darkness. How cool would that be? Like, we're going to turn the lights on and when it goes dark, if it's two minutes, make sure...

have at least like one at bat in complete dark in a game that played during a solar eclipse. You know when people would watch that game? That's true. They just do a mound visit that takes up the whole eclipse. That's what they would do. People are always predicting things that don't come true, but people are predicting that after this,

that this going across America like this, making this X, that there will be these earthquakes. And I think we talked about this last week, but on this fault line that runs right up basically kind of near the path that we haven't had earthquakes in in a long time.

And so, you know, I just want to throw that out there while we're having a little fun baseball talk. Yeah. Could be some negatives. I don't know where you, I'd like to see where you read all this. Yeah. Well, my TikTok is wild. Oh, yeah. TikTok's where it's at now. TikTok's the old YouTube. Yeah. You know, YouTube used to be a free world out there, but it's not as fun. TikTok is still pretty good. Yeah.

I tried to find, like I Googled, are there more earthquakes after an eclipse? It said the only thing, there's a full moon during an eclipse because it blocks out the sun. And I guess the tides can be stronger from the full moon. So therefore, it could trigger more earthquakes. Earthquakes. Okay. I had a time lapse of downtown Nashville.

That went viral. Yeah. And I can't find it right now, but, um, you should have put your dates at the end though. Yeah. Yeah. When was the, when was the eclipse? 2017. Um, anyway, um, well, the next one's not till 2044. It's the next time we'll get an eclipse over North America.

And interesting we had two so close together and that they do form an X across the country. I think that's pretty wild. Regardless if you believe anything's going to happen or not, it is pretty wild to think that an X is being formed right over the country in a short matter of time with these eclipses. Yeah. I mean. It's crazy times. What's at the center of the X? I don't know.

I think this is it not Indiana town, Missouri, something like that is where it crosses Jackson County, Missouri. Is it? Maybe there was a town in Illinois. I think who is experienced in both the one from 2017 in this one. So I would get out of there. I think it'd be awesome. The experience, um, the sun's 93 million miles away or 10 to 15 miles, depending on who you ask.

Right? I mean. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm tracking with you. It takes sunlight. We've talked about this a little bit over eight minutes. I've never put a number on it, by the way. But it could be a little more, a little less. You're saying. Yeah. You said we've never driven there. Who knows?

Right. 93 million. Even flown anywhere close to it. I don't think anybody ever, when they say 93 million, you said 93 million years away? Miles. If I said years, I meant miles. Eight light minutes, right? Yeah. I don't think that's necessarily mean anything to anybody. I don't think even scientists, they say it and then it's like, what does that mean? You'd be like,

Yeah, it's just what we're saying. You know the solar flares we were talking about? It takes eight minutes for us to see it. Yeah. That's how far away it is. Why don't they say it like that every time? I think they do. I'm like your buddy with a check that goes, all right, well, I never thought of it like that. This is a ball state. No, you've got to endorse this. Would you sign your name on that? Would you stand by this check? You better endorse it.

So the sun's made up of gases, hydrogen and helium, and it's just held together by its own gravity. And I never really thought about the solar system, like what constitutes when it ends and when it starts. It's when the gravitational pull of the sun is no more. That's when it ends. So that's how big the solar system is, when you can get away from the sun.

Does that make sense? Yeah. So there's planets out there that are just on their own. Not necessarily planets. What's it called? The Oort cloud? I think so. The very outside edge of it. Past Pluto. There's little stuff that's still getting picked up by the sun out there. You ever see the movie Moonfall? Yeah.

Have you? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I haven't seen it. I swear. Who's that? I just watched it recently. It's pretty new. It's great. And yeah, the moon starts to get off its orbit. Mm-hmm. I might watch it again tonight. And it's starting to come around and kind of, I just, it's starting to come around and like, they're worried that it's about to crash into Earth. Is Kiefer Sutherland in that? He is very briefly. Oh, I remember this movie.

And yeah, but the moon they discover is like a mega structure to where it's hollow inside. Are you giving stuff away? Not too much. A little bit, but not too much. Is this fiction? Oh, this isn't the movie I'm thinking about. It's real. I mean, it's like it's kind of cheesy in a way, but also it's good. It's entertaining. I was into it.

Okay. Yeah. I would check this. I would watch this. I think I've seen this. I think we've talked about it on this podcast before. I think I've seen it. The moon's falling on the earth. Because the moon's starting to get closer and as it gets closer, it's pulling more of the wave. There's big waves now because the moon is coming so close. It's pretty wild. I think the movie I'm thinking about had Kirsten Dunst and

She's like real depressed and going through all these problems. But then when the moon starts coming to the earth, she can handle it better than anybody because she's a werewolf. Well, she's just already got her own issues. So people whose lives are going great, obviously they're in disarray, but I just watched a, an under, I've never heard of that. All right. Well, I just watched an underwater movie with her. I, I forgot about this. I watched it because we talked about the oceans, but they went, went, wait, they were doing this, uh,

you know, the movie opens up where like the explorations they had been doing have gone completely wrong and they're way deep down and they've been drilling into the bottom of the ocean and they like opened it up. And these beasts came out of the, came out of the bottom of the ocean. And it's pretty wild. It's kind of boring, but also kind of exciting. Yeah. Uh,

Kristen Stewart? Kristen Stewart. Yeah, not Kirsten Dunst. I'm sorry. That's all right. Google knew what was going on. Yeah. Google goes, people make this mistake all the time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Underwater. Yeah. Is that what it's called? It's called Underwater. It's an underwater movie, and that's what came up. How about that?

Yeah, it was pretty good. What's his movie that he's talking about? Yeah, look up Kirsten Dunst's Moon. Yeah, that is it. I don't even understand this. The Moon, Elisa Smile. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, that's it. Melancholia. Melancholia. Yeah. It's an apocalyptic psychological drama thriller art film. Well, you know I'm into these sort of things. I know, I know. Kirsten Dunst. This is good. Kiefer Sutherland. It's not what you...

Nah, it's a little bit more of a... I don't even know if I know what I think about it. The way you described it... It's a more movie about a woman who's dealing with some issues in her life. And then, of course, the moon is what? About to crash. I mean, it's almost like a side plot. The moon is a side plot? It's kind of like, she's dealing with all these issues, and then, oh yeah, near the end, the moon is about to crash. Here's what a person thinks about...

Here's everything she's going through with, you know what, the moon coming in. This is a rogue planet. Maybe I'm wrong about the moon. Although it has detractors, many critics and film scholars have considered the film to be a masterpiece. It was voted one of the greatest films since 2000 and is listed in one of the best films of the 21st century. Wow. There's a difference between me and Nate. You're saying it's bad. I'm saying for you, it's going to be bad. Did it say it was a depression trilogy?

In there somewhere? Yeah, right here. Mm-hmm.

Oh, yeah. It's a, oh, yeah. It's the second film in the unofficially titled Depression Trilogy. The first one's Antichrist? Yep. Followed by Nymphomaniac. Yeah, I'll skip that one, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Depression Trilogy. Go ahead and mark that off. Oh, yeah. How could you make a movie, like, yeah. Someone want to sit and watch a movie just like, just. Depression Trilogy? Yeah. Yeah.

I watched them all back to back to back. I could see you watching it being completely unaffected by it too. Uplifted actually. I'm sure if you leave away your takeaways, like I think the moon was coming close. Because I don't think the moon or the planet have anything to do with this. It's about our struggles. Yeah.

I can't even imagine. I don't know. Maybe I would have to be confused because like, how could you watch a movie about...

a planet or the moon hitting earth and, and like, just focus on one person and be like, she's like, I'm depressed. I'll be like, can you go to the plot? Or I'd be, you just, the whole movie, I would be thinking like, they go, then I don't, then jump off a bridge. Yeah. The moon is about to hit us in the face. Brian, we have other stuff. I'm looking at the plot section. I don't know if you could build a movie that Nate would hate more than,

Part one, Justine. It just follows this. It follows a dream. It's a dream sequence showcases slow motion shots of the main characters, a collapsing horse, falling birds. Oh, a collapsing horse, though. Yeah. All right. Write it back down. Yeah. Well, it's like his dead horse joke. Yeah. And also a rogue planet crashing at the end. The initial inspiration for the film came from a depressive episode suffered by the director.

So Brian's like, you got any plans this Saturday? Let's sit down. You guys want to come over? Yeah, I'll be watching movies all day. I'll pop popcorn. What are you watching, Star Wars? No, no, no, no, no. The Depression Trilogy. Let's get it. So I don't, but I understand. So then it's just her. Yeah, it's an unofficial trilogy. It's not like an officially packaged trilogy, but it's kind of grouped together by fans. Yeah.

Interesting stuff. I mean, I would, yeah, I think even the name and everything, I just probably wouldn't, nothing would make me go watch this. And then why did you watch it? Keith or Sutherland is in this. He's in moonfall for a second. Right. Okay.

I think there was just, there was a period in my life where I just saw everything going and there was, it was out, it was new. I know Kirsten Dunst and Kiefer Sutherland. So I'm like, let's just watch this. Tuesday night, Brian goes, I'm in the mood for an apocalyptic psychological drama thriller art film. It's pre-family. Yeah. Pre-family, you don't know.

Do you consume different art now that you're married with a kid? Oh, yeah. Okay. Consume no art now. Yeah. Miss Rachel and Peppa Pig. I get that. Yeah. Yeah. I get that. Yeah. So the sun's getting hotter. It's because it's converting hydrogen to helium. So a billion years from now, it's going to be 10% brighter than it is today.

I mean, they shouldn't even mention it. They just shouldn't. Well, there you go. That's sooner than it exploding. So it's going to be unlivable here in a billion years. Let's brighten it up now. I could go for a little brightness. Yeah. What's one little notch? It's not going to be like sliding it up on your phone. Yeah. What's one little notch? That's what I'm saying. How hot would it be? Well, they're actually trying to get it cooler. We've talked before about dimming the sun. Oh, Bill Gates is trying to block it out. Well, we talked about it in another one. I think a few people tried to put up...

chemicals in the air to block it. Well, now... That sounds good. No one voted on that. Yeah. Let's block the sun, the giver of life to all our plants. Now they've come up with another idea to put up a giant tarp. It's like a parasol, which is a giant umbrella. Where they go tie it to. They're like, oh, I think it up there.

We're going to tie this thing to the mountains. So Aaron, can you give us like a synopsis? Yeah. Basically having one single object like that, like a giant umbrella is not feasible. So the prototype they're working on now is to have like a bunch. Well, I love this. Yeah. It's like, yeah, they get to ask us if it's feasible. They went down a long road before they go. I don't think that's feasible.

Well, you know what is more feasible rather than one single object is to have a bunch of different, almost like drones, like thousands of them that can take the shape of whatever you need it to be in the sky. And then they kind of come together.

Like in a stadium when everyone has the signs. Exactly. That's a great analogy. How about that? You can even sell advertising on it. They're looking to secure commercials. In the sky. It's a beautiful morning. Open your curtain. Next tell. Next tell. There he goes.

It's the oldest reference. Nextel's not a thing? Bell South. Yeah. Bell South. Nextel. I don't think Nextel. They might have it. Purity. Sweet acidophilus. Yeah. They're looking to secure anywhere between 10 million and 20 million to build their prototype. Um,

And this is the quote. They said, we're not going to save the planet, but we're going to show that it can be done. That's what they're trying to do. Trying to dim it a little bit. I can't imagine we're on Earth and the point of us is to go change a bunch of stuff. No, I think the point is, let's leave. Let's go somewhere else. What do you want to do? I don't think so. But their argument is, we are changing stuff in the atmosphere, so we got to do something to fix it.

We got to start at Mars. Yeah, it's just, I don't, I can't, I just can't. Hard time rubbing my head around putting a blanket between us and the sun is what this world, what your life is meant to be. Yeah, they'll do it and then it'll crash on all of us and they'll go, if you had just given up your gas car, then this wouldn't have happened. Maybe an Afghan. So you can still see stuff. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, tethered to an asteroid. That's what they're going to do. Where? Different teams suggest using an actual umbrella tethered to an asteroid. That's what one team suggested. These are a team of scientists from Harvard and the University of Utah. I mean, like you should look at that. Sounds like Michigan State, am I right? Yeah. That was the, they were like, all right, we're going to go catch an asteroid.

We're going to tie an umbrella to it. To catch it. Yeah, you got to catch it. You got to go out in space. Sneak up on it. Space cowboys. We got to rope it. Yeah. Got to rope it. It gets bucks and goes wild. We're like, calm down, boy. Calm down. And then we tie a large blanket.

More like a... More like a... Yeah, like a sail. Yeah, a tart. Okay, a sail. Yeah, yeah. In space. And then we hope it never moves. Oh, I don't know. I don't know how we would do that. I have to read through this report. That's what I mean. Like, how do you even get this far into having an article without someone in your science team going... Like, how's it... How are we going to catch an asteroid? Yeah. Like, there's... You know, that...

An article shouldn't say, well, at first one guy said, what about an umbrella? Well, we've landed spacecraft on asteroids. I know, but it's just stupid. It all sounds stupid. In a movie with Bruce Willis? What do they know? What would happen if you do block the sun? Is that going to be good? I think they want to block 1% to 2% of it. To do what? To lower the global warming. Yeah.

I can't. It's like putting a curtain on your bedroom. That's all it is. One of those kind of see-through curtains where you can still tell what time of day it is. I can't imagine. That just doesn't seem like that's the thing to do. Well, if you accept the premise, if you accept the premise, which is that it's getting hotter. I don't accept it. Well.

Let's play along. That's the whole point of this thought exercise is if you accept the premise that it's getting hotter and it's increasingly difficult to live here and it will get to a point where it's impossible, what's the next move? I think so far that, again, those people will deal with it

Yeah, I think we just die off. It's over. Yeah, maybe it is over. Oh, man. You guys should watch Melancholia. So the dinosaurs had to run? Just another extinction error. This is the first episode in the Depression Trilogy of the Nate Lynn podcast. We got a couple more coming up. You're not going to have to deal with any of this.

But I'd like to, you know, at the end of my life, look back and go, I did what I could. Yeah. Did you look at a kite in the sky? He's professional. You gave $8 to you. You agreed. They can tie part of it on top of my home. Hey, I got a van out of the driveway. Why don't you tie it to that? Oh, I'd love that. Yeah. If it lifts it up, it's fine.

They're trying to reduce solar radiation by 1.7%. That's bad. So, you know, look, we're not shooting for the stars. Well, we literally, one star. Yeah. Yeah. It's the one that's the problem. You know, Superman got his powers from the sun. Do you know that? I thought he's from a different solar system. What if the sun was like, I'm going to just go away. Yeah. Why don't they try to move the sun? The sun is moving.

So we're, we're tethered to it. We're moving with it because of the gravity. Cause well, but like, why can't we just go like scoot over just a little bit more.

Yeah. Why don't they say something like that? Move slightly. Why don't they go, everybody on the count of three, push to your left? Yeah. Why is that not the move though? It's 8 billion people pushing to the left. Put some spaceships. Let's come do something. Put some spaceships on the earth and push it a little out.

So we get a little further from the sun and that would cool it because we'll be a little further. Just move our orbit out a little bit. That's the move. I don't think if I pitched that in that meeting, that's it. Cause I feel like the guy would make fun of us and I'd go, you said put an umbrella on it. And then all of them would go, well, that makes more sense. I don't understand how that makes more sense because it's,

I'm saying like, you know, the Rockies get a spaceship, tie something to it. Y'all take off. A bunch of spaceships take off and they just kind of drag the, you know. Just kind of pull it out a little bit. Just come pull it out a little bit. Just a little bit. Yeah. Just kind of. We don't need much. Just accidentally you're going to go probably the perfect amount. Yeah. Yeah.

And we would hate it if it goes. And we're like, golly, now go back. Go back. Everybody's freezing. Everybody that way. Yeah. I,

I think it's a great, I mean, and if it did all freeze, then the oceans will probably freeze. And we just, you know, we just put on, you know, some thick coats. They have a little more land now. Yeah. We can navigate, you know. Boy, I was in Florida a couple weeks ago. We went out and paddleboarded. Hey, the ocean, Fort Myers, that, I mean, the sun there was brutal. Yeah. It's like, you could feel it. I got really sunburned. We, uh,

But it's the sun where you're like, I'm going to be in bad, bad shape. Oh, yeah. Because it just feels like it felt closer. So maybe. Yeah. Put an umbrella. I thought about that. You know what I did? Set under an umbrella. That's what I'm saying. Tied to an asteroid. But then the umbrella business goes out of business. Now, Nate, if your umbrella was big enough to also cover the guy you're playing with,

Wouldn't you hold it up for the two of you? What am I playing? I was paddle boarding. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I assumed. Or canoeing. I don't know. I thought you were playing golf. Oh. Would I give him? Yeah. If you're riding with somebody, you know, if it's big enough for the two of you. And then he would have one for his...

ancestors for 1,000 years from now. So then we both carry the weight of extra umbrellas. Right, right. Just so our ancestors in 1,000 years, they can't find out that they're related to us. Billion years. Billion years. Just like Elvis' mic man. Yeah. You know? Yeah, yeah. That's exactly right. And you hope that then they go, a little Aaron Webber in a billion years goes, you know what? I had...

There have been times where the human species was threatened with extinction. Like there have been, and aren't you grateful that those guys survived? What were some of those times? Yeah.

Look, dude, the bubonic. I mean, we talked about on this point, the bubonic plague. We've had diseases. We've talked about some of those hobbit tribes that we beat out, you know, competing for the top of the food chain. It hasn't been. Wait, what? Yeah, I don't know. You remember that, right? The hobbits? Give me one more clue. They're all those. They're, you know, humans. Homo sapiens weren't the only humanoid species. The weed.

Oh, now this is a topic I'm into. We eliminated other ones. There's all these fossils that we found of humanoid creatures that humans just came in and just destroyed them. So I'm saying it was never a foregone conclusion that humans would exist. I'm saying you don't feel any kind of gratitude to those past human beings that kept it going? You don't appreciate that at all? I mean, no, I...

I think I appreciate it, but I mean, they were trying to stay alive. Right. I don't, I would never expect, I don't know if I maybe don't appreciate it, but I would never expect them to have been thinking of me. So like, it's one thing that survived. Yeah. There's a me that you're like, I think it's, I think it'd be crazy if that person's like, we got to survive this for whatever. You got to think of like in the moment to be like, you want, it's like everything you're going to leave. Yeah.

everything better than when you found it is the idea. And so you're going to just try to be like, we're just trying to do our best. We're trying to get through all this stuff, but I don't think I would never, you know, if they're like, I was thinking about you the whole time, you'd be like, well, what are you talking about? Like just, you know, I don't matter. Where's the line. You care about your daughter's generation. Yeah, I do. I mean, I think about like, yeah, the younger generation and Wayne stuff goes and you're like, yeah, it's tough. Uh,

But I mean, it's like you deal with what you're dealing with and you just deal with it in the moment and you hope you're moving forward and it's going forward. And then like, yeah, I'm not saying you don't want to leave a legacy or something behind, but it's just a very broad thing.

I think it should, you know, it's like I want my family and my friends. And if you do comedy, I want people to have a good time. There's all this kind of stuff and nice spirit thing. I don't want to go put an umbrella for the sun and then think about people. Like that, I don't, you know. Because what if the umbrella...

is bad and it backfires on us like we try this we take it down what if it becomes devastation it's like really like it kills uh species that couldn't survive with that low percentage of sun and now that species is not around anymore and that was something that this animal fed off of you don't care about the human species at all but you care about this but we're talking about so

Well, it's all hypothetical. Yeah, but who gets to decide? That's the thing. When you're going to cover the whole earth, we're all on it. I know, but you're like, that's got to be like, it ain't just like, hey, we're going to go do this now. Because you're like, what? You can't just sporadically, just out of nowhere, go, we're going to do the umbrella thing.

Yeah, you have to get a lot of countries on board. Yeah, that's right. You win, I guess. Go to Poland, see if they want to. I don't know. A real cold country, like ask them. Are you guys interested in potentially getting a little colder?

Yeah. You know? Yeah. Russia. Yeah. What do you think they're going to say? We're like, we're getting a little hot. Okay. You guys, you cold countries, you mind if we turn it down a little bit? It's good. Yeah. We don't care when it gets to 65. Yeah. In February. So. We're starting to get a little

Warm. Do you mind if y'all have seven more dark winters? I was paddle boarding the other day. Yeah. I don't know if y'all have been to Florida, but the sun feels like it's on top of us down there. You know, the thing about Florida, this is a thought I had when I was in Florida. It was like 90 degrees in the daytime, and then the sun went away, and it was still 90 degrees. Yeah.

Where's that heat coming from? You should tell that as a joke. Well, I've tried it as a joke. Mixed reactions. A lot of silence. Where's that heat? Yeah. I mean, why? You know, it's like... It was the moon talk. Yeah. I think it's the same as when you turn an oven off. It doesn't immediately...

That's a good point. That's the best explanation I've had. And then it doesn't cool, but then the sun starts coming back out and you're like, well, who's turning that oven back on? Yeah. Yeah. Stop turning it on. Where's my umbrella? Well, that's a great question though. If you had an umbrella in the oven above, you know, but below the coil, would the oven be less hot? Yeah.

well no i think i think i think the the analogy here is like let's say your oven you put your oven on and it's making the whole kitchen hot because there are holes in the oven door that you've created right so now you go well let's put up some kind of shield around the outside of the oven door so that it doesn't make the kitchen unlivable but do we live in the kitchen or in the oven we're in the oven no we're we're in the kitchen

So now we got no heat because we've covered the holes. Well, you got heat coming. Well, I don't know.

Anyway, Superman's power comes from the sun. And he's kind of like solar panel. He absorbs it, so he doesn't lose power at nighttime. But if it were dark for multiple days, he would start getting weaker. Oh, really? Wow. Did they ever use that against him? I think so. Okay. I think there's been some comic books where he's like, something's happened and he's in darkness. Could this be why they're trying to do all this now? You never know. That would've been interesting to...

I didn't know about Superman to put that more in. Like maybe he can't be strong at night. You know? He has to do it all during the day. Maybe that's Batman's advantage. He's a real nighttime guy. Yeah. Because Superman really doesn't have weakness. You know? Kryptonite. Yeah, but it's like that's... Who can get that? Yeah, no one. Lex Luthor. Yeah. But I mean, it's like Kryptonite's not on... It's not around here. But they mention Kryptonite, but they don't mention...

He has a couple of days of dark. Like, I mean, so Superman can't go to Alaska for four months. Yeah. I guess not. That's crazy. He'd have to take a flight home. There's a big stretch of the year where you can do whatever you want in Alaska. Yeah. Superman can't do a thing about it. Yeah. Wow. Well, when he shows up, he's still got power. So how long, I know, but how long does he have it?

I mean, I think he goes for a few days. So even if you've been in the dark for a few days in Alaska, when he shows up, he could still do some stuff. Now I'm saying there's months at a time where there's no sun. When's the last time you got seen that movie? The Christopher Reeves movies? Never. Never.

You never seen them? You've seen them? Yeah. My buddy Derek Humphrey was talking about this, and I just recently watched them. Sounds like a guy you made up. Yeah. Joe Mayo. That's his imaginary friend that he watches movies with. But weird that Superman is so into Lois Lane, right? Like she's not that attractive, not that good at her job, smokes a lot.

Well, everybody smoked back then, right? Yeah. You're talking about Margot Kidder. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Adams is the current Lois Lane. Right. I mean, the Christopher Reeve one. Yeah. I mean, like, I'm just saying it's weird that he's into her so much. I don't think I would have ever known her name. Margot Kidder. Yeah. He had a poster of her. I mean, that was my era. I don't think I'm not saying she's an unattractive woman, but I'm saying you're Superman. And that's like, this is your. She's very pretty. This is your girl, though.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe he thinks more than skin deep. You know what I mean? Yeah. But it's like he made the point that Superman is so good and moral, but she's not really. I know that might be what is attractive. Maybe. Yeah. It's a little bit of what he wants to be. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Margot Kidder.

Like kidder. Like, are you kidding me? He's into her. Yeah. She's still alive? No. Oh, really? I think she had a hard life after Superman. Oh, really? Yeah. Why just? I think alcohol maybe or drugs. She died in 2018. So fairly recently. Yeah. Yeah. How old was she? It's a tough paragraph right there. Oh, yeah. Oh, boy.

Yep. Okay. It's a tough man. Wikipedia. It's like a dark term.

Yeah. Thank you, Margo. I'm sorry I said those things. Well, that's okay. I'll say this then. I thought we'd get out on Superman. What was that ugly woman from Superman? What was her name? Why does Superman waste his time? I'm not saying she's ugly, but it's just like, I don't know. You're Superman. Maybe Superman needed those glasses because look at...

It was an 80s look. It was a different 70s. I think she's very pretty. I agree. You know the picture? She's very, very pretty. She kind of disappears in Superman 4, I think, or maybe even 3. She's gone. That's probably some of the...

yeah you know years yeah maybe that's right what were you saying well uh i was gonna get out on superman but since we just went down that road uh leap leap day is this week the sun the earth goes around the sun 365 days a year but it's actually a little bit more than that so that's why we get off the calendar gets off schedule so we have to throw in a leap day

Every four years, but not every four years. Did you know that? No. Do you remember that from our calendars episode? No. It's got to be a year divisible by four, but also I think divisible by 400. Okay. So the last time we didn't have one was the year 1900. And the next time we won't have a leap year is 2100. Oh, okay. So looking forward to that. Yeah.

So happy birthday, Tony Robbins. I like Tony Robbins. Yeah. 2100. Yeah. Will you be around? Yeah. I mean, when were you born? Wow. 1991. 109? Not a chance. Maybe. Yeah. With AI? Yeah.

I won't be in this body anymore. What is it? Neuralink? Yeah. You get that. Your conscious will be uploaded somewhere. Yeah, I'll be on a hard drive somewhere. I'll be in the cloud. I'll be emailing you photos. You'll be like, text it to me. You'll be hitting your Neuralink. I'll be 129.

All right. Is that it? Yeah. That's it. Yeah. Oh, this week I'm in Chattanooga. It's comedy catch Thursday, Friday. I'm in Hudsonville, Michigan. Then Vincente's Indiana.

Columbia, Tennessee. I'm very excited. Now it's this. I'm going to the Pacific Northwest Tacoma Comedy Club March 22nd, 23rd. Haven't been since the Dead Horse with you. And then that's March 22nd, 23rd and then 24th. I'm at Helium in Portland driving down to Portland. Nice. So come see me

That's a fun run. That's a great club too. March 15th to 16th. I'm in Lowell, Arkansas at Grove Comedy Club. All right. That old favorite. Dusty's picture's on the side of the building. That's true.

But I'll be there. And then at the end of the month, March 29th and 30th, I'm in Las Vegas at Wise Guys Comedy Club. So come on out to that. I love going to the Grove. That's great. Say hey to Bill. This weekend, I'll be in New Orleans at the Joy Theater, I believe. And then Friday, Hattiesburg, Mississippi at...

The Sanger Theater. Never done comedy in Mississippi. So I'm pretty pumped about it. And I like New Orleans too. I like doing comedy in New Orleans. What town is it in? Sanger? Hattiesburg, Mississippi. I've done Sanger. Are you doing... No. You're talking about the thing that we've done. Yeah. There's a cancer benefit show they do there every year. Oh, no.
