Today's episode of the Nate Land podcast is brought to you by Electric E-Bikes, AG1, DraftKings, and BetterHelp. Hello, folks. Hey, Bear. Welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate Bargatze, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber. And fitting in. Filling in. Huh? But fitting in, too. Oh, yeah. Fitting in. We'll see if he fits in. Yeah, we'll see if he fits in. Yeah. Filling in a, what some would say...

Dusty Slick. Nick Thune. Yeah. You got, you're wearing the, uh, you're wearing denim. I almost wore a hat. And then I thought, uh, that people will be like, is, is that a different dusty or what? So I just decided not to go ahead. Nick Thune. Uh,

filling in for dusty forest this weekend. We were out, had a wonderful weekend. You had, you wearing your, uh, he's wearing a denim jacket and he had it this weekend. It was out hanging outside on the, in the rain. Yeah. Yeah. Will you ever figure why that happened? No. Uh, yeah, it was just soaking wet, hanging on the side of the, yeah, I didn't know. I go out to the bus and we were going to go play something basketball, you know, whatever you're doing. And, uh,

I go out and then... But you, I don't know if you're doing that for a reason. I actually thought, you know, this could work out for me better because I put it on while it was wet and kind of wore it around. And I think it fits better now. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's... If anybody is going to hang their jacket in the rain on purpose, it's you. If anybody does their laundry differently. Yeah. Do you air dry your clothes normally? Always, yeah. See? See? Yeah. Well, I didn't... So I didn't even know...

I almost didn't tell him because I thought he'd be like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I put my jackets in the rain. Well, the thing is, is you buy clothes. I buy them to fit, not to like adjust with the dryer. So I buy them to fit and then I just never dry them. So that way they always fit rather than like buying something a little bigger thinking. I hope it kind of goes down to what feels good. Right? Yeah. You know.

That's smart. Can't you get stuff that's not affected by the dryer, though? Who knows? It's hard to tell. I also don't know if I'm doing it right or wrong. People are always like, oh, wash it in cold and then tumble dry it. And I'm just like, I've had so many shirts just get slightly smaller. Right. Yeah. You remember them.

Yeah, I've got them all hanging up. Yeah. Then you go, look at you. It's like a little graveyard. Yeah. Look at you. Oh, hey, guys. We're going to get into all that little fashion stuff. But yeah, we were out this weekend. We had a wonderful weekend. We were in Huntsville last night. Well, we were in New Orleans. New Orleans, Memphis, Biloxi, and then Huntsville. Yeah, all great. Great.

All really great. I actually brought my winnings at the casino. Went to the casino. I don't know how to get this on camera. You get it on Aaron Land. There we go. 34 cents. 34 cents. Hard Rock Biloxi. And that's not really winning 34 cents. That's losing...

$299. Yeah. And you do the math on that. We're going to say 66 cents. Yeah. You should have vouched it out. Yeah. The line was too long. Yeah. Oh, you got a, yeah. So it wasn't great. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I'd like it a quarter and you tell them how to get it. You just want to go, I'm not leaving. You didn't take everything from me. And you know how you tip people. People tip them out. If they get like a lot of winnings, they like leave them alone. Keep that penny. Yeah. You go, hey, sweetheart, keep the quarter. Sweetheart, keep the quarter. What's 20% on 34? Sweetheart, keep the quarter. She's like, what? I don't want it. She goes, what's two dimes and nickels? I didn't have quarters. Golly.

Yeah, that's good. I mean, you walk out, I think it is. Well, even when you walk out, 34 cents, you get to go. You didn't take everything. That's right. You didn't take everything. I got something. I got something. One ball shirt at a vintage store. Yeah. 34 cents. That's it. It's even out of the, it's not even anymore. It's like $80 now. We have, yeah, it was, we had a really fun, this was a fun weekend. All the shows were just spectacular in New Orleans. Yeah.

Look at him standing in the kitchen right there. In the kitchen. We got some videos. You can stand in the kitchen if the ball comes in there. Yeah, then you got to get right back out. You lived in the kitchen. We should explain what we're watching right here. We're watching... We had a pickleball tournament in Biloxi. And so...

Look at that. They couldn't handle my heat. So we did that. We found a big room. I mean, some of these convention centers, you find a big room. I'll tell you what, I like a big room. There's not much better than a big room. I could see having an airport hangar and just being like, I just want it just to be, you just have the space. Just to stretch out a bit. Just to stretch out. Scream, you know. I would like, if you had offices in,

I'm sure if you've been to convention centers, you see those rooms and they put multiple planes in these rooms. And just if you're like, I want this to be the office space and it's all open.

And everybody goes to their corner. I mean, you could be on the phone. No one could hear you. In a corner? In a corner. And you have to ride a scooter over to the other one. You see him walking over. Imagine when you know he's coming over. He's like, here we go. You got to watch him. It's a good three-minute walk. But you see him. You're like, what does this guy want? Here he comes. Here he comes. I know he's coming right to me. Well, you'd probably be like, he's in the middle. You're like, where is he? He's coming to me. He's coming to me. And then you wait until he gets pretty close. Then you just walk to the... You walk...

You walk against a wall, the most opposite, and you go to another table and he's like, man. Right as he gets up. Yeah. Hello? Backward. Hello? Oh, shit. Sorry.

Yeah, I could see. I mean, that's what I thought in that hangar. I was like, I would like one of these. It was nice. People riding scooters around, you know, fetching balls. You could just be doing so much stuff in a hangar and not be bothering anybody, really. You could be golfing on one side. You could be throwing baseballs on the other. It could be a nap area. Yeah. I could get a nap area easy. Yeah. And no one would hear it.

I don't want to hear you napping at all. Yeah. Maybe in the middle. One injury, Eric. Yeah, we had an injury. Eric twisted an ankle, another ankle.

uh problem travis i know down like flies i know and i mean dude his ankle is big aaron eric's is big yeah he works it out yeah and uh yeah he worked it i mean i saw it last night and it's i mean it's just you know talk about gains a tube most in shape guy on the tour yeah also didn't complain much

We all knew it happened. He's not walking around in a cast. He doesn't have a roller. No. He disappeared for all of yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't see him. Yeah. He had his Sunday best on by 8 a.m. yesterday. Yeah. He's like, I'm not doing anything. Yeah. He's out.

So it was a good day for me. Didn't have to do anything. We got the video of Eric's injury right here if we want to watch it. Yeah. There he goes. Oh, right there. Right there. Nate finishes his shot. Oh, and I missed it. That's dumb.

I don't know if he's down. I'm like, well, how did that happen? What did that even do? What did he do? I don't know. He just goes down. So pretty. Yeah. Pretty hard. I know it's,

Dude, right there. I feel so bad. I feel so bad laughing. At least the earrings aren't his trainer. Yeah, there's my trainer. Look at his legs right there. Kind of a cool dance move right there, dude. That's tough to watch, man. Just the ground got him. So we were playing horse, our knockout.

Like, I'm sure if you didn't even know the basketball knockout game where you got to make it, you got to shoot it. Then the other person tries to make it before you, if you miss it. Or you can just work on knocking their ball out. Yeah, yeah. And so this, we were trying to do it. We were seeing if we could do it with hockey, hockey balls, hockey sticks. That's the game we were playing. He's trying to retrieve his ball. And he's trying to get his ball. And then, so I'm going to try to knock him out. So he's running full force. And Nate still misses.

Yeah. Well, I hit the, well, we had, Julian was playing goalie. So you got to take a, I had a good shot. It hit the post. I did make it after this. Uh, I didn't make it right after because all the attention went to Eric. So the net was wide open. Look at the way the ankle kind of hits the ground when he rolls over to it. It's a tough. Yeah. Yeah. It's tough. Yeah. We all gather on Eric and we hear like score. Yeah. You got to keep moving. You know, man, we have a show. You got to keep going. Yeah.

One man down. I can't laugh. Look at that without laughing. Yeah. It's horrible. Yeah. His whole leg bows out. Brian, how relieved were you that that wasn't you? I was more shocked than anything. Yeah. I don't know if Brian ever gets to speed up.

to roll an ankle. Yeah. You'd have to. He never fully knows the rules of what's happening. You know, like he's never, he's kind of always trying to figure out what's happening. Yeah. Yeah. Never really just goes. Remember we played like a whole round of dodgeball and then he realized that the people on one side were on the same team. Yeah. He didn't realize that. You're saying he never moves with enough confidence to sprain an ankle. No, but we played dodgeball and he, we played a whole thing and he goes, Oh wait, are we on the same team? Yeah.

And he's never heard – he's never played dodgeball. As a kid, we would be opposite sides, but it was every man for themselves. Oh, really? You wouldn't hit each other on the same side, but it wasn't a team. Well, that sounds like – That sounds like it's a team. Yeah. But there would be no like – unless I was the last man standing, I wouldn't have won. Like –

And there's no like bringing, you can bring each other in and dodge ball, right? Yeah, but that was before that you didn't bring that up to all. That wasn't a matter. But I'm saying when you're a kid. Yes. You're like, there were sides. Yes. You didn't hit anybody on your side. This is, this is our team sport. It was invented. Don't hit anybody on your side. Hit only people on the other side. That means it's teams.

But once I was out on my side, I wasn't rooting for my teammates. Okay, so you're saying a batter strikes out and then all of a sudden he's like, well, not my team anymore. I think that might be you were just a mean kid. You should have been rooting for your teammates. Instead, you were – I mean, it makes a lot of sense now. Look at the urgency with which Brian walks over to help Eric here on the ground. Yeah.

Oh, what do we have over here? He just walks over like, oh. He's kind of like, oh, we're done with this game? Oh, that's great. The dodgeball thing is very funny, though. Yeah. He played a whole round. We played one game that lasted 30 seconds. No, it lasted. Don't try to do it. You then are telling us that you play dodgeball as a team.

but did not root for it. That's like you play baseball and you go, no, I played on my side. We all had the same uniform, but when I was out, I didn't root for the other people. We shared a dugout, but other than that. Other than that, I didn't. I don't know why I would. My dugout friends? Yeah. We had different roles when I was a kid. Yeah. Yeah. Here's a mean, it's your worried mean face of just not.

Not being nice to your other people. We had Harper and Laura came in Huntsville, so we got to play a little four square. There's a lot of rules to that. Harper was, I mean, you can yell Pac-Man and Cherry Bomb. And I mean, it was pretty fun because Harper is just explaining to, you know, a bunch of four year olds that.

All these, you know, I forget the other story time. You can, you just, it's a, it's a, it's a wild game. But what I'm sure to her is such a basic game. Oh, well, when you get explained something by a kid, they explain it. Like, are you the stupidest person on earth? Like they can't believe that.

that you're not like, what do you mean? You don't know what's going on. Yeah. And that's, and that's how, and so she explains it. And all of us are like, wait, what, what is this? And then she just starts laughing at us. She's like, are you kidding me? Cherry bomb. You don't know cherry bomb. You're like,

I don't know, Jerry. I don't even know four square. I've never heard of that either. You've heard of four square? Heard of four square. Yeah, yeah. It was like an ancient game. We never really played it growing up. Oh, you didn't play four square? They're playing it now. I played it. Yeah, I played it a lot. I mostly played wall ball. We played wall ball. A little tether ball, but we didn't really have one on our playground. Tether ball was never really a thing. You had half a one? No, we got one. It was a neighbor? We got one later, I think. Oh, okay. But I didn't grow up with it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Tetherball never really, it was always out there. No one was ever really obsessed. You would do it some and then you were like, you would be like, I think this game could be fun and then you just kind of move on. Yeah. Uh,

Yeah, kickball, wall ball. Did you ever have the thing, it was like a basketball hoop, but there were multiple areas where the ball could come out and there were like math problems on the top of it. One was like plus two, one was minus one. The worst. The absolute worst. I mean, just unbelievable, dude. Because that's what they had to do before they ate dinner. They go and they solve a problem, then he's fed chicken and then

He has to go back and do division to get the mashed potatoes. I mean, just the – I don't know that game. No one knows that game. That was on our school playground. That's what Notre Dame students had to do. Do you think that was a thing you could buy? I think so. I think it just came with the playground set. No, I think somebody painted it. No, it didn't come from any playground set. He went to – that's how he got into Notre Dame. They go, did you have that game where you had to solve math problems? He goes, I did. They go, all right, welcome.

Welcome to Notre Dame. Crazy ball. I can't find it. But this did exist. You can't find it. Of course you can't find it. He pulls a picture up from his phone. Oh, here it is. Tim in it. Yeah. Funnel ball. This is what it is. You ever seen anything like this? I did see funnel ball, but they did not put math on it. I don't know what problems you're solving.

He comes from money, dude. And he goes, was y'all's buses Mercedes Sprinter vans? Was that frustrating? I don't know. You know when your chauffeur dropped you off at school? Yeah. No. Because it's embarrassing, right? Because your other friends are like walking and you're like, and they touch you with their dirty hands from outside. You're like, don't touch me.

I do remember funnel ball, so I'll give you that. But I, I, I had never seen that in my life. If there was a, I've seen it, but I mean, I can't, what math problems? It's just one, two, three, four, but it was like plus one or minus two plus two. No, they were, they were, they, they didn't even try it at our school. They scratch it off. They didn't eat. Yeah. They weren't even like, it doesn't matter.

I mean, all I know is that we had basketball and we had all the regular sports, but handball was the thing. I don't know if you guys, you guys call it wall ball with the, with the bouncy ball. Oh yeah. My son's in it now. And you got to touch the wall first. Oh no, no. I'm talking like that big bouncy ball that you hit like that. And it's got to bounce once and come up. You guys do. No, no, we never played. Oh,

My son has it. That's like, that's hot at a school now and I'm really good at it. So I'll show up after school and take on the kids. Oh yeah. Yeah. West coast thing. He hasn't made it here yet. Yeah. Yeah. You're Seattle. So, you know, or Washington. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's where, that's why pickleball pickleball was like a thing when I was a kid in Washington and it was nowhere else. And then it started to kind of go out. Now it's, we watched a champ women's champion. I followed the winner.

On Instagram last night, the women's singles pickleball champion. Oh, really? Yeah. I mean, I liked what she did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because we had it on TV. Yeah. Yeah. We don't know if that game was aired live. That might have been from. No, that was yesterday because yesterday she announced it on her Instagram. Oh, really? Yeah. After she won. Yeah. Oh, wow. Type two diabetes, I believe. Yes. Type one, actually. Is that how you get into pickleball? The urn type. Yeah. Yeah.

She wore a little thing on her arm. Yeah, she had it? Yeah. No, on her Instagram, it says type one. Okay. Yeah. She wore like an insulin thing on her arm or like a... You know that little like that thing that you see on... Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Is it pickleball, like bowling, is it preferred, is diabetes an advantage? Yes. Yeah. Okay. Like bowling. Yeah. Yeah.

It's the only two sports where they go, well, come on, dude. He takes his shirt off and he's got that thing. Yeah, come on, dude. All this is is a low blood sugar sport. Dead gummit. They can't feel anything in their right arm. That's why they sling the ball down there. There it goes. I don't know.

I mean, I know the woman that lost didn't have it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there you go. Yeah. Yeah. So that's based off that one game alone, I would assume. It's better. Yeah. Yeah. But hopscotch, that's a weak game, huh? Yeah. Jumping up and down the two, three. Yeah.

There's math involved in that, too. There are numbers, right? But you think, is it a weak game because that's a game that you had trouble jumping? And so you just trash the game. You go, what a dumb game. You go, well, you can't even. It's worse than jump rope. He goes, this is stupid, dude. You go, well, it's because you missed the two three. You didn't get to the double square. He goes, well, that's dumb because I don't even want to. I want to go play my math game. How do you land on one foot?

That was probably a big... Yeah. Put too much weight on someone. It's not good for your ankles to put that much weight on one foot. They're like, what? Stupid kids. In my house, it's just two squares all the way down. Yeah.

He goes, set one off memory and his is just boom, boom, boom. Just walking. Walk through the hopscotch. I've been seeing a lot of videos. Jump rope and it seems like people are... Jump rope is back. It's back. Yeah, stylish. Everything's back. I mean, every game. I'll tell you what, pickleball being a real sport on TV, I don't... It's a... I don't know.

It's like it just is. It's gone so fast. And then it's, you know, do you think it lasts? A lot of these things pop up and then they fade away, right? Like, I remember thinking slam balls. The future ball is fun. The trampoline. Yeah. Yeah. That was pretty fun. Pickleball will last because it was so popular where I was from.

And it's still as popular. But it's like, when is it going to be? If they try to put it in the Olympics or something, you're going to... They will, for sure. I know, but you're going to be like, all right. Like, you mean it's a plastic ball with holes in it? It's a wiffle ball. Like, you can't talk about a real sport and have a wiffle ball. I'm not saying it's not... Like, at the Olympics, if they run out of stuff, they could just go to Target. Yeah.

Yeah, you can't do that. Target run! That's a great point, Nick. Your sport can't be sponsored all by Target or Walmart. They're like, well, listen, we're saving money. These javelins, we don't even know where we get these. Is this the one they use the Olympics in? This is the exact set of the Olympic trials. Here's a picture of them buying it right before. They're here.

If you hurry, you can catch them. They do self-checkout because they are good. They don't ever need help. What's the most amount of things you would take into a self-checkout?

At what point are you saying, no, I'm going online? Well, some of these places don't give you an option anymore. You go to a Target now, there aren't even any regular lanes open. It's all self-checkout. So you're forced to do a full cart's worth of stuff. I think it's switching back now. Are they? I think they're closing the self-checkouts. Wow. That's good. I think theft and I think...

I think a lot of places are. You're like, if you go steal it, you got to look a man in the eye. Yeah. And that does hold people back. Yeah. It holds enough back. Well, you just do every other. If you're just going to self-checkout. You just, when you do self-checkout. You've got a beep noise on your phone. Yeah. And you're like, that guy's pretty good. I hope, I mean, I like self-checkout because I'm never going to,

I've never been big, big shopping. Shopped in years. Huh? I don't think I've ever shopped in my life. Yeah.

Yeah. Like 45 years. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, did dudes shop like that? I do. I do. Well, okay. I could see that table. That's odd. Well, I'm a single dad, so I've got to like, well, that's different. Yeah. That's different. I got to have my, my stuff full when he gets, when he shows up. I'm saying before that, I got to have my stuff full for me. I know. Yeah. But before that, or dudes, I don't think guys are like, you know, it, my old, uh,

I had an old joke about never buying milk publicly.

in my life is like when you're alone, I don't think you're not really buying milk as a guy. No, I never, you kind of forget to buy milk. I never did. Yeah. I love a grocery store. I think I know. Well, you're a hundred now, so I understand that, but it's, I'm saying for the bulk of it. Yeah. When you were, you, I don't think we were, I would be go, we just buy kind of what we need at that moment. And then you, you don't do it smartly. You just kind of go in, you could, you always could walk in with a basket.

is what I'm saying. I would do it every day. I like that. It's a chance to be seen. I like grocery store fashion. I think people in there... We're going to get to the fashion. No, I'm just saying that's one reason I like it. That was a good segue. It's a bit early. I'm not trying to do... No, you're trying to do something. Pulling off a queen a little early. Well, the shows were great. Last night, Huntsville, very warm in there. Yeah, I used a towel.

I'm a towel comic now. Should be a shame. How did it feel? Did it change your energy? I did say, I go, I'm a different comic now. A better comic. Yeah. And I was wondering, and I got some laughs off that from, I think, the podcast fans that knew that you actively use a towel. He sells sweat towels after the show. Yeah.

He's like a terrible towel. He's like those ones from the baseball games. Yeah, yeah. He's just there and his fans, when he comes out, they go, and they swing it around. And then he likes it because it's a fan. People do bring in sweat towels sometimes. Yeah. Derek can change shirts. Did he really? Yeah. Mid-set? Derek came in. He would have liked to have it. Derek did great. Yes. It's his hometown. It's very fun. Derek Stroop. Derek Stroop. Yeah, he came off stage hot.

More ways than one. Yeah, yeah. He couldn't talk, really. He went straight into a room. Went straight into a room. Yeah. It's like went in, put his head in the freezer, and just sat. I mean, he was just hot up there. He works hard. I mean, he's on stage. It doesn't really stop. But he's got the energy. Yeah, it makes sense. He gets off stage sweating. You're like, well, you earned that. And it was already hot. Yeah. And so, I mean, yeah, he was, boy, he came off there.

You know, it's like that hot where someone gets hot and like, I mean, there's no, like anybody could talk to him. They wouldn't even really hear you. Like their only focus is that I'm so hot right now. And he wore a gray shirt, which. Yeah. He'd been wearing light colored shirts the whole weekend. And then the sweatiest night, he goes up in a gray shirt and you could see.

The sweat's coming. Yeah. While he's up there. Yeah. There was marks. And a gray shirt hides nothing, dude. No. A gray shirt is the worst shirt to wear for sweating. You're out there. Yeah. Yeah. I always think a light shirt too. I like, uh,

I do it when I golf. It's going to be hot. If you wear a lighter shirt, it's not going to be... It's embarrassing with just the sweat marks. The places the sweat goes? It's just there and it's just all on the... Horizontal line across the chest. You're sweating everywhere but your dumb stomach looks like it's trying to stick out for air. People do that too where they get Botox in places they sweat.

Really? That's a way that it stops sweating. Oh. Get it all over your belly. Send me some info about that. The thing is, it doesn't stop the sweating. It just moves it. They had to do that shot. What's that shot? Or it's somewhere that had all the needles. I feel like you did it as a kid.

They would like prick you. It's like an allergy test. An allergy test. Yeah. They do that to your belly with Botox. They just, they got like a broom and a big. We're coming in. Yay. And you go. We can do this. We can do this separately or we can, it'll take about two years. Yeah. Or we can just, Hey. You just lay on one of those like nail beds. And they just push down a little bit and go, all right, you're good to go. It's like a panini. It's all the Botox. Where does it move the sweat to?

wherever your next hotspot is. Oh, like for me, my armpits are always number one. Yeah. I'd say that's pretty common. Yeah. And did it hurt when you got it? People do this. Yeah. No, I, no, I thought about doing it because it would be like every time I would go on stage, it was like, even if I'm about to do like TV, you know, whatever, like,

You just don't want it to look like that. Yeah. But all it does is move it to like wherever your next spot is. It doesn't like stop sweating. Body still produces. And you're, you're thinking the alternative is worse than. Yeah. Yeah. I'd rather not look like I peed myself. Oh yeah. It starts. Yeah. Yeah. They go, guys, this socks wet. Yeah. And I'm not getting the shot down there either. Yeah. Yeah.

You just keep moving it to the spot that you want it moved to. Finally, it's just out of your right calf. Yeah. It's just leaking. Oh, God. You go, you sweat down there? He goes, this is a lot of work to get that sweat. He goes, we thought we were going to get there in two moves. It took us about 12 moves. We were surprised. It came out of the kneecaps the third time. The back of the knee sweat, that's when it's...

real hot. Sitting in the car, back of the knee starts sweating. Y'all know what I'm talking about? Okay. You've been there. eBay Motors is here for the ride. Remember when you first saw the potential? And then through some elbow grease, fresh installs, and a whole lot of love, you transformed 100,000 miles and a body full of rust into a drive that's all your own. Look to your left. Look to your right. It is official.

15 minutes from my door to my seat. 15 minutes. That's crazy. Oh, really? Yeah. It's the best thing because you don't, they don't stop you at the gate. They don't do it. You just go straight up and you walk right in. It's amazing. Isn't it uphill?

Yeah, but it's an e-bike. Oh, yeah. Great. I mean, it's the easiest thing in my life. They have a place to lock it up? Oh, yeah. They probably encourage that. They would like it. Yeah, of course. But it's like nobody else is doing it. The thing is, too, is you go and you... I don't mind staying until the last out. Usually, if you drive there and you're like, it's a Friday night or Saturday and you're like...

This is going to be an hour getting out of this parking lot. Not me. No. No. I'm out. I judged Nick based on his appearance. I thought, this guy's not going to be a baseball fan. He's a huge baseball fan. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Throughout the first pitch. Mariners game. Mariners game. That... Yeah. Full. Yeah. Full uniform. Full uniform. He wore the full Seattle Mariners uniform. Ask him. Tell him what it was. You asked...

if you could do this. And what did they say? I said, hey... Look at that movement on that ball. Yeah, the day before... Yeah, it was a little slider. The day before... Watch his chin here because my... He wasn't expecting this. Boom. He... I don't think that felt good for him. No. I mean, it hurt my... Yeah, but they said...

Everything was on board and I tweeted and I'd been kind of tweeting back and forth. They were like having a good time on social media with me and I go, hey, do you guys need my sizes for the uniform or anything? And they just said, you know, you get a jersey. And I just said, okay, well, I don't think I'll be able to make it.

And then they just wrote back. All right. What sizes? And this was like all on, you know, whatever. So I show up and there was like multiple bags with everything. They're away jerseys. They're home. I could pick between stirrups and socks, like everything. And even the, even the like warmup stuff. Are you wearing a cup? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm wearing a cup right now. Yeah. And a wake up. Yeah. And, uh,

Yeah, they, you know, it was, it felt really good. No one else cared that much. Well, that's the best part is that when you throw a first pitch, no one's paying. No, nobody's at the game. Yeah, no, no. And then you do a big, oh, I mean that guy. But the thing is beforehand. Look at his glove. Yeah, that's my first baseman's glove. He's wearing a first baseman glove.

Look at that face there. And so they did a whole story on it because I announced my retirement directly afterwards from major league baseball. Yeah. On Twitter. Uh,

Yeah. I announced it on Twitter. I mean, on Rich Eisen's show beforehand, they talked to me the morning of and I just said, hey, I announced it then because I wanted people to tune in and see this pitch. Knowing it was going to be my last. It's a good pitch. I mean, were you nervous about the... It's a good pitch. Were you nervous about... Because what if the pitch was bad? I was more nervous than doing the Tonight Show. Yeah. Because I knew I was like, I want to go full bore. Just this comedian back there. I want to throw a pitch. Yeah. Yeah.

And so they don't give you, they don't, I was like, I thought they're going to let me go in the bullpen and warm up. But there's actually just in like one of the hall, like now I know what arenas look like, you know, under them. It was just in one of the hallways. There's like a, a home plate and a, and a dash just straight on cement. They're like, yeah, you can warm up here.

Yeah. You were there for that same stadium for Dustin Nickerson, right? Yeah. I was kind of hung out with Dustin when he did. So I've seen a little bit of the bowels of the stadium. Yeah. It's just like a hallway. Yeah. And they're doing it just to go. We'll just let you kill a little bit of time. Were you the only one? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

yeah and this guy this was his first game he had just come up from triple a so he was a catcher and i asked him for felix beforehand i said hey can i get felix to catch for me yeah can i get your best player to catch and they were like yeah this guy we're gonna give you a guy that first this is his first game up he does he is not he didn't like any of this the look on his face after poor guy yeah you know but i wanted to sell it i wanted it to be a celebration yeah um

Yeah, I mean, that guy's got his own nerves going. I mean, his family's probably there and he's like, they're going to make me do the first pitch. But, you know, it'd be good probably just to get out there. So for not only for me, was it my first pitch? It was his first catch. Yeah. Yeah. I wish y'all stayed in touch. Does he still play? I doubt it. I don't know. Why do you doubt it?

You know, guys like that are a dime a dozen. Well, even a full major league career, that's been nine years. So yeah, it could be done. Yeah. I mean, how many people like make it up for a game? Yeah. Cup of coffee guys. They're called. Yeah. I call that a swinging strike is what I would say. It's going to make someone go, were you putting something on it? Yeah. Yeah. It's a good pitch. It is a really good pitch. I definitely think it'd get someone to swing.

Yeah, I don't know if the speed was up there. Yeah. Which probably would have been actually in my advantage. Yeah. If someone looks up, they think, oh, this guy's probably got some speed. Yeah, this guy looks up just like, oh, no. And then he's just, oh.

Didn't they give you a jersey with your name on it? I asked for Buhner. Because I said I'm going to throw some heat. Because Buhner had a rope. He could throw it from right field to home. It looked like it was on a clothesline. I know. He could throw it harder than most pitchers. So that's why I was bringing the mound. The people at the Mariners were probably like, we didn't know it would be this much of a thing. They did not know what they signed up for. Have you done it again? No.

No. And I think there's a reason for that. Well, you did it after your retirement. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. I mean, Rich Eisen is the whole reason I got to do it. Yeah. Because I had been tweeting at them for over two years asking it. Hashtag Thune for first pitch became like an online joke between my fans or whatever. And so Rich Eisen was like, I'm going to make it happen. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah.

Yeah, it's great. Yeah. And then afterwards I went on a, I was out on the lake on a boat ride. Uh, my brother's wife was like next to me and somebody took a photo and it looks like, and she's like in a bikini and we're out on a boat. And I like posted that photo directly. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it was a good time. Yeah, that's fun. All right. This is the recent you guys comments. Cicada episode comments. Stephanie Horowitz. This is one of my Horowitz. I got that right. Yeah. Yeah.

This is one of my favorite episodes you guys have ever done in life so many times. Louder than I have in months. When Nate asked with so much sincerity if a moth was an old caterpillar. I nearly peed my pants.

Thanks so much. You all relate to my spirit. Do you agree with that? Yep. Nick, have you seen the cicada yet? Is that about this episode? No, it's the one. Oh. Yeah. People are already tuning in. Yeah. Yeah. We already got questions. Because I missed that joke. They said you look like an old caterpillar. That's how we describe your Nick Foon look. Dustin Fritch. Frish. Frish. Frish. Live cicadas make amazing fish bait. Live. Live.

Hooked them in the thorax. How do you go find a thorax? Well, thorax, lobsters have thoraxes too. It's like their spine. That's what a thorax is? Just like the torso, right? I think a thorax is their spine.

I think, but a cicada is like, you would just go hook them in the cicada. Yeah. Yeah. Cause it's in the middle. Yeah. There's not, he's, he's thinking maybe you have like magnifying glass. Yeah. Yeah. Thorax is just going to be, you're both right. Well, that's our thorax. We don't know what cicada is. Nick, have you seen cicada yet? Nick. Oh, wow. Yeah. Those are beautiful. Oh, so he's talking about a fly. Yeah.

It's cicada season here. He's talking about if you make a fly fisherman that's making it. So they get like magnifying glasses and they're like, you know, they're really in. Do you have a...

Yeah, do you know about cicadas? No. Yeah, they're out here right now. It's really loud. They make a lot of noise. Yeah. Yeah. They only come out once every 13, 17 years. Yeah, look at that thorax. They only come out once every 13 or 17 years? Yeah. These broods. Okay. I'm not going to ask any questions about that word. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because there's some cicadas that come out every year, but this is a particular brood. He says this one, you toss them out, they hit the water and start buzzing, bass go crazy.

yeah they had to be flat oh so he puts it in a live yeah thorax is it yeah he puts it in live thorax it's obviously going crazy bass love it they love thor is an axe or a hammer thor has a hammer right yeah he has both does he have an axe yeah what does he do with the eggs well he uh he had it specially made to try to kill thanos

Where did he get that made at? There's a special place in the universe you go to make these type of weapons. But he's mostly known for his hammer. Yeah. Maybe when he did an axe, they were like, oh, like Thorax. He's like, ew. All right. Well, once every 13 to 17 years. Yeah.

Heather Adkins. Adkins. Concerning Nate's comments about going to Taco Bell because you're trying to be healthy. Taco Bell is consistently named the healthiest fast food restaurant. The menu is very customizable, so you can cut calories easily. Nate's right more than people give him credit for. I think Nate gets the proper amount of credit on the Nate Land podcast. I'd be curious to see if Nate's also Heather Adkins. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, Heather Atkins wouldn't know. That's her diet, right? She's the Atkins diet. You take all the letters and it spells Naparganza. Jason Hunnell. Hunnell. Hunnell.

I've worked at Pizza Hut for 23 years in Lakeland, Michigan. I'm always happier when customers order a thin crust. Don't understand the hate. Please tell Nate to keep his opinions to himself. There you go. Wow. We brought it back. That's always been a dream job of mine, by the way, is pizza delivery. Yeah, I did it. You can do it anytime. I did it with the Pizza Hut.

yeah during the pandemic yeah yeah when you were off when i was off yeah i i always kind of wanted to do yeah you like know all the back roads it's kind of fun yeah yeah i mean this was your dream job just for like just the navigation of it is what appeals to you yeah well i mean now it's all gps yeah i mean i when i did it said no it was maps

Yeah. I mean, you were physical map. You were at Rand McNally. Yeah. Yeah. I would do map. And I had maps at the, when I delivered, uh, there was no, I mean, the map book, a map book. And so you would just like, look at it. I just, I mean, I, I,

I wouldn't remember now, but I was really good at like... Like localized for a specific part of town or just the whole city of Nashville? Like you would turn the page and it'd be like, this is this. Because they have that just area where that place will deliver to. Yeah, they have like an index in the back of what street. You look up that street and it's on page 8, A6. And then you... Wow. You know, you're like, all right, I got to get to Saundersville Road. And like, once I get to that road, then...

now I'm in the map area. Yeah. So then from that road, so you just know how to get to the main road and then you go, all right, right. So just nobody's looking at the road, huh? Everybody's looking down at them. No, no, you kind of, you have to look at the road. Back then though, you just, you just be like, oh, take a left. You'd look at it, go left, turn right. All right, there we go. Yeah. Yeah.

And then it was like, then MapQuest came along and then TomTom was big. But TomTom would be, it'd be annoying to type in every address. I hate using GPS. I mean, it's such a, like my girlfriend said, the one thing she noticed about me is that I always, if I use GPS to get somewhere, I never use it to get back. Because I like to like, I remember and I like to remember and it's more fun to like,

Yeah. Drive around. We do that when we go walk around a lot of towns. Like I'll be, you know, we're like, where are we? Like, well, don't pull it out. Let's try to get back to where we need to get. And it's kind of fun. But then there's points where, I mean, then we've had a couple where you're like, all right, we're way off. Somebody type it in. Yeah. Someone type it in. Jay Griffin. If you had to choose, would you rather be a 13 year brood or a 17 year brood of cicadas? I'd rather be 17. Yeah.

Because even if you miss out on what's happened, at least you have four years on the young hipsters. So like saying, do they come out every 13 or 17 years? Do you want to be a 17? You stay down. They're just underground. And they're alive the whole time? Yeah. But then they come up and they die. Yeah. I think I would rather be 13 because if I didn't make, I would try to just see if I could hide for four years. So you want to be a 13 that wants to try to be a 17? Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, I think I'd enjoy it. I'm coming out. Everybody, no, I'm right behind you. I try to blend in with 17 guys. I just came out too. Yeah, what's up, 17? We made it. Those last four years were rough, huh? Why do you have wings? Yeah, 17. I mean, you live longer. All right. Also, the sleep episode. We did an episode on sleep.

Micah Brockmeyer. Brokemeyer. Roekemeyer. I bet that's a name that's intimidating when you look at it. And I bet he's like, no, it's Brokemeyer. Yeah. And then you're like, oh, okay. Looks good on a business card. Oh. We just call him Bro. Micah, yeah. Micah, yeah. Throws you through a loop.

I'll do M. Brokemeyer. That's intimidating. That's a business name. What's the M stand for? It's Micah. You're like, can I talk to another Brokemeyer? He's not the Brokemeyer you want to talk to. You're the only one I didn't want to get. Is your dad, brother, anybody else? Is there a John around? Is there a John Brokemeyer? Can I give my money to him? The H always. What's that H doing there?

Micah? Hanging off your dear life. I think it's got to have an ending. If it was M-I-C-A, it would be a problem. Mika. I'd like it more, I think. No, I think you'd be... You need the H to be like, we're done. People need to know we're done. It's a bit of a...

I used to work interior, remodel, and construction. I did not expect him to have that job. But I guess as a Micah, I'd imagine his family was in a different business. They were in a real big business. And an old boss once told me to act like there was always cameras in the house. That way we would always be careful about what we said, what we did, and definitely what we touched. Do you guys act differently when you know you don't have cameras on you or are used to it?

You always expect that something you say might make it on the internet. I don't think we, I mean, I don't think anybody really does anything too crazy. I said some stuff this weekend on the bus. Yeah. Which I have on camera. Yeah. You're definitely aware. I mean, you know.

But, you know, it's like, I mean, I always feel stupid if you're like, sometimes you're like, I don't want to get this on camera. You're like, well, who's even watching? Who am I to think, you know. Like TMZs around the corner. Yeah, yeah. That should be a fun game for me, see if I could get canceled. Yeah. Because you have to have a certain amount of credibility. Yeah. I just keep saying stuff and no one cares. You get canceled just because on the audacity that you think you can get canceled. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

Christopher Sarnowski. Sarnowski. Sarnowski. Sarnowski. Oh, Christopher Sarnowski. That's a pretty good name. Yeah. Christopher Sarnowski, if that's how he says it. For as old as he is, I'm always amazed at what big baller Bates does not know. Listening to Bates criticize anyone who has cheap greatness is maddening. Maddening.

Let alone someone like Nolan Ryan. He criticized Nolan Ryan. Yeah, we talked about this over the weekend, actually. I don't think I did. No, I don't think you did either. Dusty said he saw somewhere online where people were saying Nolan Ryan was the GOAT of any sport. And I just said, Nolan Ryan's the greatest power pitcher of all time, no doubt. He's a great pitcher. He's a Hall of Famer. But he's not the greatest. And, you know, he...

Has more walks than anyone in history. Led the league in walks many seasons, wild pitches. He's cool. He got in a fight. He got all the things, the blood on his face. All those things are cool. This guy just doesn't know what it's like to be friends with you. Who would...

Someone like Nolan Ryan would then immediately bring up his downfalls. That's exactly what it is. I mean, you play dodgeball and didn't root for your own side. You just assume there's no teams. That's pretty telling, right?

Literally, you're going, well, I didn't hit my side. Okay, that's probably a team sport now. That was 40 minutes ago. We're still hung up on it. It's pretty hard to get out. It's pretty crazy to go, I didn't root for them once I got knocked out. You're like, that's the whole point of the dodgeball. I didn't know the rules. It's not rules. It's just humanity. You got a side that you're not trying to hit, and your thought isn't,

Well, I bet they're on my team. Your thought is to – you hope they get hit. Well, Nick, who's on my side, did kick me in the face with a ball. That was true. That was very funny. He got hit, and then I hit you too. Yeah, you got hit. You got double hit. On your own side. Nick tried to kick it up, and it was just – So you were getting attacked from all angles. Yeah, so forgive me if I didn't know who – Yeah, he doesn't know who's who. Yeah. But, yeah, I mean, but that is why. If you were friends with Nolan Ryan, you would definitely bring up

The walks and all those. I'd like to keep it real. Yeah. I mean, I brought up to Sonny Gray that he led the league in wild pitches when he was sitting right there. Yeah. So, yeah. Wonderful, nice human being. It's fun. Like the thought of him not knowing the rules and getting hit by the ball from me and being like, oh, I guess that's. He's like, like I said, this is all or not. Like everybody's on their own because you hit him. Well, I took somebody to a baseball game once and their first baseball game and it was Jackie Robinson Day.

So everyone on the field had no last name on their Jersey and they were all number 42. And I was happy to be like, it's not always like this. They don't always all have the same number. Yeah. Uh, Ron shade.

Aaron is nuts. Most of Jordan's records have not been beaten. Oh, Ron shade to a little shot. I know. I was speaking hyperbolically. I'm sorry if I overstated things, but he has had some records broken. I don't know about most, you know, hyperbolic. Yeah. I mean, records are made to be broke. Hyperbolic. Hyper broccoli. Broccoli. Is it hyper broccoli? Yeah.

Like hyper, like you're going to eat some hyper broccoli. Yeah. Like that's like a superfood. It's a superfood. Hyper broccoli. I'll take some hyper broccoli, please. All right. We only have laid back broccoli. Yeah, we have regular broccoli. It's mushy. LeBron broke Michael Jordan's record for most points in the playoffs all time. And I'm sure there are a bunch of other. He still has a ton. You're right, Ron.

i was wrong i don't know if i'm nuts but you know i was wrong about that that's again like you just can't you know some people if you just say anything negative about michael jordan they're just gonna say oh wow yeah you know i went back and watched y'all ever watch uh stump the schwab

on ESPN? I do remember. You know, that guy died recently. Oh, really? The Schwab. Yeah. Have you ever seen that show, Nick? It was this guy who just knew everything about sports and he knew so much that the whole game show was just, do you know more than this guy named the Schwab? And I went back and re-watched some old episodes. It's so much fun. He knows everything.

Everything. Yeah, it was a good... I remember watching. It was a really... It was a great show because it was just a regular person that thinks they know everything versus this dude that just knew. Did he ever lose? He got stumped a couple times, I think. I saw one and he got stumped. It's amazing. But they're like, name the last 49 MVPs in the NHL or something. And these guys just...

They can rattle it off. Oh, it's more than one person. It's a bunch of people competing and they narrow it down until it's one-on-one versus the Schwab. Okay. Then if they beat the Schwab, they win. They win the show. People beat them. Yeah, but it was rarely. Yeah, that's a great idea for a show. As they did it. Jake Tobias.

That's like a... Yeah, that show. I'm sure he gets that all the time. Arrested Development? Tobias Fonke or something? That's a good name though. Jake Tobias. No, Jake Tobias.

I was trying to do a joke. I mispronounced the name. It's like I was trying to do a... Yeah, comedy? Trying, you know? Plug it out there. I got to tell you what, we try every day. Doesn't always stick, but Nate tries on here, man. Nate calling Aaron Richard Jewell really went under the radar for some reason. Am I the only one thinking he could have played that part superbly? That's...

That's a security guard? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's great. That one's. It's great. Yeah. I mean, you're not Richard Jewell, but man. That's the actor. That's the actor that played him. Yeah. He's so funny. That's what I'm thinking about. But no, if I shaved my beard and I was a little bit older. Yeah. That could be me. It's a perfect when you call someone out and you think it's that. This is kind of perfect.

where it's, you want it, you know what you say, like, you'd see that actor and be like, Aaron, and you say, is Aaron's name to that guy? So then Aaron looks over and sees that we think it's that guy. You want it to be

And I'm not saying that guy's bad, but you want it to be a little extreme, exaggerated of what. Of course. It's a perfect. If you can get what sometimes when it's too exact, it's not as funny. But if it's a little exaggerated where it's going to maybe hurt that person's feelings a little bit. Yeah, that's ideal. I mean, that's. That's where you get it. It's a real sweet spot. What was the context that he, you called me Richard Jewell? It was. Just life. Yeah.

I don't remember. Yeah, I believe that you just, it was out of nowhere and you're like, that doesn't make sense. I just wanted to say it. You're just like, shut up, Richard Jewell. We were talking about Clint Eastwood movies and I think you called him Richard Jewell. Yeah, they, yeah. Oh, okay. I bet Richard Jewell wasn't much older than you when that Olympic thing happened. Really? Mm-hmm.

So that was in 96. They just looked older back then. It's awful. People did look older back then. We watched The Cincinnati Kid this weekend and Steve McQueen. We were way off on his age. We thought he was 50. He was 35. 35. He was 34 when this all went down. Oh, did he die? Yeah. Yeah, he died in 2007. That's terrible. At 44. Yeah. And what they did to him. Yeah, it's awful, man. Man. So he was about your age when that happened. Yeah. Terrible. Yeah, yeah.

Unbelievable. That movie's great. That guy that plays him is unbelievable. Yeah, that guy's so funny. He's in some other movie. Yeah. It's impressive. Nice. They've got the Schwab over here. You know what? I think I've seen that.

You're right. Yeah, it was definitely a movie. Lucas Dahl. Y'all's discussion on this week's podcast about where we'd be as a society if we didn't sleep had me thinking. What would you rather give up, sleeping or eating? Sleeping. If you gave up sleep, you'd never be tired. You could sleep.

If you gave up sleep, you would never be tired. You could sleep. You just don't have to sleep. Same with eating. If you give up eating, you'd never be hungry. You could eat. You just don't have to eat to survive. But so are you like, do you stay fit? Let's say yes. If you stay fit, then I would say sleeping. Just get everything done. You'd have to pray. Have some form of meditation. Something to kind of zone out. Didn't he say you could sleep if you wanted to?

Yeah. I mean, he's basically... He said, what would you give up? By the way, either one of them you gave up would be really easy to give up. Yeah. Like there's...

Because when you give, if you gave a sleep, don't worry, never be tired. No, nothing back. And you could sleep if you want to eating, you'd never going to be hungry, but if you want to eat, you could eat. It's the most low pressure thought experiment ever. But what if, like, if, like, if you're all like, if you give up eating, if you're like always hungry, but can't eat, that would be a, or if you give up sleeping, you're always tired, but you can't sleep. I think the, the, the just broad, uh,

You know, you would, you give up. You're like, I'd rather not sleep because I can get more stuff down or I'd rather not eat because you don't have to think about food ever again. Yeah. Cause you never be able to enjoy. You still have to feed your family and stuff too though. So it's not like food's not. They have to feed themselves. Like I said, I do not go to the grocery store. So yeah.

But maybe I would go. Do you still have to sit at dinner with everyone? I'm sure that'd be frustrating. I think you just got to sit around a lot. I see a lot. You realize how much people eat. Yeah. Well, you're going to realize how much people sleep too. Yeah.

Yeah. But I mean, you could go do stuff. You could be like, when I go sleep, I just become Batman. Prowl around at night. I mean, the hard part is you're not sleeping, so you're probably eating. You're just eating all night. And you're just, you're kind of a fatter, you're a fat man. Fat man that has to go. He goes, I ride around at night. His car is like a Ghostbusters car. The siren's a little slower. It's not as fast because it's

But when he gets out of the car, it starts going fast. And then he sits back in it, it starts going slow again. He just yells at criminals from inside the car. He never gets out. Hey, guys, cut it out. Is that the guy that doesn't sleep? Go to bed. Courtney Lohr. I thought a bottle episode was where the entire episode takes place in one room. Yeah, I looked that up. I was wrong about that. Is that right? Yeah, I said that with a lot of confidence, too. I learned a lot of lessons last week.

It's about my behavior. I don't want to apologize to everybody. Yeah. Derek Jackson. Nate, what are your thoughts on prop comics? Are there any prop comics that really make you laugh or do you not consider them true comedians? No, I do. I think Carrot Top is unreal. He's doing an act. It's an act. It's a mix of this. People can do acts. If you can go up there and stand alone. What about guitar, Steve?

again just mean yeah he's mean i'm known as the mean one yeah just all day long yeah that's fine yeah bully baits yeah i mean people have called people do call sometimes the guitar prop

Yeah, Nick goes up on stage with a guitar. I love it. So I don't think it – because it's not really a prop. You're doing jokes, and you go alone. Yeah. I mean, I've watched you do – it's not like you can't – it's not like you couldn't go up there. I mean, I think even Carrot Top, his thing is that. But I think Carrot Top could be funny without everything. But you want to go see all this stuff. I was always a big fan of Carrot Top. I love Carrot Top.

I saw him like not that long. I mean, six years ago or something. Yeah, it was great in Las Vegas. Yeah, residency. Yeah, we got tickets. And he's the nicest guy he got.

Me and my friend that were doing a show there got tickets from our agents. Right. And then in the middle of the show, he goes, and I hear there's a couple other comedians out here that, uh, and he walked out cause he's sponsored by some, like, what are those like cinnamon whiskeys or whatever? Fireball. Fireball, but something like fireball. And he walks out with two of them and he gives them to us and he had a drink with us in the audience. Oh, that's cool. And then like went back on stage. Wow. That's awesome. And then he let us come back to his green room, which was funny because there was a drum set in the corner.

and a bartender and like a lot of like, you know, posters and all these things. But he was just sitting there playing drums and we're all hanging out in the green room. Which is funny because it's not like sitting around playing guitar. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It's definitely taking over the room. Yeah. What's that? Thanks for the tickets. That is very funny. When you have a residency for years at a place, you probably put some weird stuff in your green room. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's my house, basically. And it's so fun. I mean, the Vegas residency, I did the Laugh Factory there once, and they kind of run it like what a stage show is like. And they are just like,

Five minutes, everyone in places, you go on stage, you get off stage at the exact time all these people are working to get the show going. It's really fun. It's got to be a really great thing. I think he tries out a couple new props every week. He's still working on ideas and stuff. He was really funny and he had some real current stuff. Your story's not current about him, but...

yep yeah he had some current stuff six years ago yeah yeah yeah yeah it could be still doing that stuff yeah yeah i bet he does yeah i think it's i would love to see a show he seemed like a guy that's not happy being lazy like he's yeah well yeah he's like big he works out like yeah he's an active dude yeah yeah ebay motors is here for the ride remember when you first saw the potential

All right. You ever seen the Norm Macdonald man great ads that he did? No. He had one sponsor. I don't think you can play him the language in him. He had one sponsor for his podcast that was the man great or the man grill or something, whatever it's called. And they stopped. They wouldn't let him do it anymore because he was...

being so like the ads were just so hilarious like they were hilarious but not good for the product yeah and but it made it even bigger I mean it became one of his biggest watch videos and then I even see him get interviewed about it and he's like yeah they pulled it and the week that they pulled it he still did the ad yeah but if you ever have time you got to watch the super cut of it is so funny yeah

It's just the tool that cleans the grate of your grill. No, there's a grate, but it comes with a tool. Just hearing you say that makes me laugh knowing the way that he would say it. So funny.

Well, this week could not have worked out better. I was already planning to do an episode on fashion, but with Dusty here. And then Dusty had a scheduling conflict and couldn't make it. And I mean, who could have been better to have on this episode? Nick is more fashionable than Dusty. He knows his own way. Just throw Dusty under the bus. You know what I mean?

Dusty's got a style. He does have a style. Yeah. That's the one type of fashion is like some people decide this is my look. Yeah. You know, like hat, t-shirt, jeans, anywhere I go, expect it. You know? How much thought do you guys put into your wardrobe for your shows? Oh, for the shows is different. Yeah. I mean, not just every day, like for a show. Yeah. Because you're conveying a certain thing on stage and, you know, like...

Certain people wear suits if it fits their style of comedy. Right. I always try to dress very nice. And, uh, but I always try to wear, I always wanted to wear something that's, uh, not too showy. It's very nice. And I would want, you know, the wives in the crowd to be like, Oh, I could buy that for my husband. It was like, I want, I don't want to wear anything that no one could not wear.

you know so it's like you wear something that's just you know as you know and as the shows got bigger you know you're doing clubs i'd wear hoodies and you slowly you just kind of move up and then as you get to more and more higher stuff you end up just being like yeah you look like with a little purpose like you you know and i do like i like i do like clothes i like uh you know

I get tired of the same thing in my head. I want to wear the same thing every day, but I would get tired of the same thing.

Also, in your position where you're in front of so many people, you've got to make sure that it fits right. Because when you're on stage and you feel uncomfortable at all, it really throws. Oh, yeah. But my goal is to wear something that people in the audience are like, where would you even get something like that? But not like crazy. Right. No, no, yeah. But we don't know where you got that. We don't know how. Have you always been into fashion?

Yeah, but never like good. I didn't always have good taste in fashion. Yeah. You know, like when I was younger, I things that I thought were cool were not cool. Like what? I mean, like my senior year in high school and now it's kind of cool, but I wore boat shoes the whole year. My senior year in high school with like I wore swimsuit and boat shoes and like that was my look. To school? Yeah. To class? Yeah. A swimsuit? And boat shoes. Yeah. Yeah.

It was just my thing. I liked it. You're peacocking. My dad, well, my dad wore boat shoes and I like, I loved them. I thought they looked so cool. Yeah. And, and now boat shoes are back. Like people like, like penny loafers, boat shoes, those types of things are like really in right now. No socks, no socks. Yeah. Have you ever wore socks?

Yeah, I always wear socks unless they're leather shoes. Leather shoes. You didn't wear socks this weekend. That's just a hilarious question. Oh, yeah, but those, I'm wearing leather shoes. Oh, I see. If you're wearing leather, it won't smell. But if you're wearing anything other than leather, it's going to smell. Really? Leather shoes won't smell? Yeah. No.

I'd like to try that out. I think I can change how you think about that. Yeah, you should. You should try it out because my shoes end up smelling bad all the time. And then I've found that like, oh, the leather doesn't. Wow. Okay. The sole of it all. Like if I were to wear a pair of tennis shoes today with no socks, by the end of the day, they would be ruined. Yeah, it's a mess. It would be horrible. They would feel horrible. Put a leather shoe on. I wear most of my leather shoes. I never wear socks. Wow. Yeah. You don't feel weird?

Are you used to it? Yeah. Yeah. Well, but I mean, that's like if you're wearing, I mean, I do like to wear a nice like sock if I'm wearing like slacks or something, it looks nice, but you don't have to like, especially in the summer, it's nice to not wear socks. Yeah. If you have the right pant on. The thing about that too is how long your pants are because there's so many different

ways to wear pants. You know, like if you go in and you're like, I want my pants hemmed, they'll show you like three different options. Like, do you want it to sit above your shoe? Do you want it to just crease one time on your shoe? Do you want to fold it? You know, like there's all these different things. So like, depending on the shoe and the sock and everything, that's where you get your pant length. Is that what a boot cut is?

Boot cut is a wider base. So a boot cut is going to be like not tapered, but mostly boot cuts are kind of out. Like a bell bottom. Yes. A very minimal bell bottom. But, um,

One secret that I always have that I like with my pants, and this is something that people have taken from me. You're right. He is better at this. Yeah. Like any pair of pants that you have, if you were to take them in and just have them fitted, it costs $15, $20.

they're always going to feel better. But if they're like, if you want the bottoms to like, if you have a straight leg and you don't want to wear tapered pants, but you want them to be like neater, you go take it in from the knee down on the inseam, three quarters of an inch.

And they basically just like, they just from, from the inseam down from the knee, three quarters of an inch. And it just makes it fit better. And I did that to all of my pants and all of them fit like, Oh, this is great. Like, cause it, in a way, instead of shopping over and over and spending a lot of money, why don't you buy one nice thing and have it fitted well, and then you can wear it with everything, you know? Yeah. It's a, yeah. Getting fitted. There was a, uh, uh,

guy that talked about getting his golf pants fitted and it was funny he did a video eric andersling uh which he does a lot of great golf stuff and but i remember seeing this and i and i told him like uh because i saw a video where he just like just did a random video where he goes people always ask like why his golf pants look so good

And he was like, I just take them and get fitted. It's like four bucks or something, whatever it is. And I never thought about that with golf pants. And now that's what I do. And you're like, oh, yeah. And it is fitted pants. That's a big secret. You could take your whole wardrobe and just go just fit your...

pants and have stuff taken in and you look you go from sloppy to nice even i mean this and this is people are gonna be like this is lame but even t-shirts you know like the length of a t-shirt the way it falls on you you're talking like if a t-shirt is an inch longer than what's good you're adding 15 20 pounds on your body just by really whereas if it's the right length then it is actually concealing and it's it's fitting you better you know so like if you have

I mean, if you have shirts that you wear, how many times are you going to wear a t-shirt when you buy a shirt that you like? How many times will you wear it for three, four years? Right. Yeah. Yeah. So you take it in one time and have them fit it right. And then you go out and now you've got a three, four years that you're never uncomfortable wearing it. Cause I do have t-shirts and I'm like, Oh, this one makes me look like I can see my stomach way more than, you know, this shirt or something. I bet that's tough on you.

It can be hard. Yeah. But I get through it. You know, I've got my own support. I like a shirt. Boy, if it's down to my knees, I'd be all right. I started to wear a bigger stuff because we have a weight thing. I don't know if you're doing good, but I've...

I'm off the rails still. Oh, really? Oh, good. I'm going to get a good head start on it. Oh, you've been doing good? Yeah, I've been doing okay. You need to alter the rules, though. Why? Because you're starting at a different... Is the rules you got to get down to 165 or you got to lose 30 pounds? Because those are two different things. They are. I was...

Y'all are starting at the same spot now. I think I'm close to two. I saw two last night, but I had shoes on. I told you I never... That's when you start doing calculations like that. Last night, it was 200. I had shoes on. I did it at the very end of the night. This morning, it was 195. But it's bad. Yeah, you never weigh yourself at night. I know. I just wanted to see 200. Y'all should just race to 225.

Yeah. That's what Eric said. That'd be more fun. Yeah. That would actually be a great one. You're trying to go down to 225. I'm trying to go up to 225. Yeah. For one of you, that'd be a lot of fun. Oh, I don't know. Well, who do you think is trying to get up to 225? You. Okay. I thought you were saying it like you were like, well, it's funny. Like you didn't know. Yeah. I mean, it would be easy. I could get there.

I might get there. Two more weekends. I mean, yeah. No. I mean, it's a problem, dude. I mean, I am a problem. I sat in a long McDonald's line last night after Huntsville, ate McDonald's way home, and then drove over to Dairy Queen

That's why you wanted to drive home alone. Yeah, I drove home alone. Then drove to Dairy Queen because they had one right next to it. The line was just too long where I go, come on, you can't be doing this. And then went and had to take some back roads. Got out, peed near a trash can like just a wild animal. Like a guy that didn't just sell out an arena. Oh, I mean, just...

Well, I was like, I go down this other way of leaving Huntsville. And last night, everybody took the bus back. And then I like to, you know, it's a close drive. I'll just drive alone. There's no talking. I can just mind my own business. Go to McDonald's and Dairy Queen, no judgment. And like a Planet Fitness inside, alone in a car. And then I go. And I was like going down these back ways. And it was like kind of an industrial area. Yeah. And I kind of had to pee. And I was like, I'm going to just...

I was like, I mean, I'm just in the middle of now. I was like, well, I'll just pee right here. This is easier than... And I mean, just like a wild animal. Yeah. He was doing a show for 10,000 people an hour ago. Yeah, we went out of the way one night to find a Waffle House like at 2 a.m. Drove to another state. I don't know. I don't know if there's anything better than 2 a.m. Waffle House, man. Yeah, it was good, man. I'm never disappointed. It was good. The all-star special. Yeah, Zimbaluxi. They had 100...

Waffle Houses. And so Stroop ordered it for us all and then picked one that was 20 minutes away. We had to drive past three Waffle Houses to get to this Waffle House. We went past three, did a U-turn, had to get on the highway

I don't know how he picked. He picked the one that's farthest. Couldn't be farther away. The funny thing was we turn around and he's like, no, it's really close. And then we all looked at, we could like see he's holding the GPS and it's saying to merge onto a highway. Yeah. I see the word merge. I go, Derek, do I see the word merge on your phone? Like, how are we getting on? We're driving. There's a Waffle House you could throw a rock from. Yeah. At that hotel. Yeah. But, you know, he ordered it.

So he did some, he did do that. We appreciate that. He didn't pay for it. Wait, did he pay? No. I think Julian was supposed to pay for it. Julian won money at the casino. Yeah. I don't know who paid for it. You did pitch in with your 34 cents. Yeah. Yeah. The thing about clothes too, though, with the, I was just thinking before that run was like, uh,

You have clothes that fit you at certain weights that are in your closet that you see when you go through it and you're like, oh, God, I wish I was at that one right now. Like one day. Yeah. One day will be. Don't throw that out. One day I'll be able to get. Dude, that's where I could tell. I have a couple. I have these two Florida State shirts that are like the Nike Under Armour kind of shirts, long sleeve. And so I got them when I did the show there. And so I wear them a lot, like on the bus at night. I wear shorts in that shirt.

And I mean, those shirts were always like my favorite shirts. They're big, they're whatever. And I mean, it is, it's insane. They're not as comfortable. And that shirt has never not been comfortable. And I'm like, I'm out of my mind that I'm up to wear this shirt. Like I put it on and I can tell that

When I put a shirt on, I can tell it doesn't have to be on. Once it hits my shoulders, I can be like, this is no good. I need to be slipping in it. I've been wearing this one made well.

Those sweatshirts, yeah. Yeah, they're oversized, and it's cool that they're oversized. They just fit regularly now? Yeah. I'll tell you what. If you want to look nice and you're in a position like I'm in where your body stinks, shop at Madewell.

They're very basic looking t-shirts, but they're cool and they look stylish. They're crew neck sweatshirts. Yeah. Oh, man. And you can, yeah, the t-shirts too are very oversized and big and it's just a very comfortable. It's a, when you're wearing a big. Yeah, there we go. That woman right there. Yeah. That's what he's got.

Yeah, so they have made well men. Yeah, they got made well men. You probably have to order it. But yeah, yeah, I think with my, so I do have for when I go out on the road, I have a stylist, Amber. And she'd done, cause she did all my, cause when you do specials, you would do have a stylist. I would take that stuff seriously. I know it's like, it's hard for comics to take it seriously. And I, it might not seem like I care about it, but I do care about it. Cause I do think you're,

you know, it's like when you start doing stuff and you start doing big arenas and people are spending money to come see you as an act, I think you should appropriately look like the act that they should. Well, see also people like dress away if they know they're going to be seen in public. Right. Well, what if you're the only person that 10,000 people are seeing for an hour? Yeah. You'd probably, you'd probably, you want to, you probably want to look good. Yeah. And so Amber's done, uh, all my stuff. Uh,

And I mean, she's on Instagram. We've posted a lot of stuff. She does a lot of Nashville, a lot of country music. But I mean, all of my stuff is like stuff I can easily wear once I'm done off tour. And Nick's done some stuff for you when you went to Alaska. Yeah. He helped you pick out some stuff. Yeah. We went. Are we going to show that? Yeah. Yeah, we got it right here. Yeah, we did. Nick, do you do like, you have like a fashion...

Like, why? I mean, I have designed some shirts that I have made just with my art on it. But T-shirts. But no, I don't have a line. But I do...

I enjoy fashion. I do have a lot of relationships with people that own stores that I go to. And I wanted to take Nate shopping to go on the road because he sent me a PDF of these are the six kind of outfits that are rotating or whatever at the time. And I was like, well, why don't we go? Why don't we try and get you some nicer things that you can wear that you'll feel really good? And look at him in that.

I think I like that more now than I did at the moment. Small town sheriff. Yeah, I like that look right there. You do look like a true detective next season. You know, it's... Yeah, I definitely think I like these looks more now than I... Yeah, because... As I get older. It really... You really... You know, I've learned as you get older...

You do. You feel better when you're not like a slob. Athletic gear has gotten pretty nice though now. Even if I wear athletic gear all the time or golf stuff all the time, sometimes you're like, I do want to

If I have jeans on and something that's kind of fun and looks good, you just feel like, all right, well, I feel good. Athleisure, it's like people travel in it. People are like, oh, if I get a matching top and bottom, it looks good. I mean, I wear...

like athletic pants with like velvet shoes yeah because it's like if you can make it look good and make it look like you're just like oh this guy's just wearing what he has and putting it together that's that's a fashion in its own yeah yeah yeah that's definitely i'm wearing those boots right now oh wow yeah big day no socks see see look you you look that that sweatshirt looks great on you yeah

Yeah, you bought a whole bunch of stuff from this. And then I was like, where did it all go? And you go, I sent it to my brother. Yeah, that shirt's good. I didn't know I was buying stuff that day. You didn't have to. Well, I felt like I had to.

He made me go shoot this. And then I thought you liked this stuff. I did, but just being nice. It was you. You said in front of the guy, you go, yeah, you just buy all this stuff. And I was like, OK, I guess I'm buying all this stuff. And then I bought it all.

I might have been skinnier then. That shirt does look good. This is about snake oil provisions, by the way, in Los Angeles. Did you buy that outfit, Nate? I bought that at a women's store, actually. Did you? Yeah. I was shopping with my girlfriend and I was like, actually, I'm surprised they made it this big. It's funny because I just...

I didn't wear, I did not wear what? No, no. You were shopping for the Tonight Show and then I go, just don't wear a hoodie with a blazer. Yeah. And then that's what he throws on. Actually, my stylist, Amber, was not, yeah, she was not thrilled about that one either. I went kind of rogue on that one. And I was like, this is good.

I think I would appreciate more. You tell you a lot of it with fashion is what you wear. Yeah. I mean, it's crazy. I've wore just, I mean, yeah, it wasn't, no one was happy about that. That's like, it's like you're wearing a hooded sweatshirt. You're like, God, I'm kind of cold. Does anyone have a jacket? All we have is this blazer. All right. You may tell you why though. It's because of my body. Yeah. When you, when you're, cause when you're not like,

If you, for the hot second, I was skinny on the last special. I mean, I wore, you can wear anything. You're wearing, like, I mean, you put it, you do not care what you're wearing. So your body, you're like a mannequin.

So you can put anything on a mannequin. You're like, wow, that looks cool. But when your body starts getting a little lumpy, well, then you're like, well, now where's everything fitting? And you feel very uncomfortable. That's when you start. That's when you have things that are, you know, fitted that are roomier, that are better. Yes. Also, you know, when you wear like a...

If you're uncomfortable with your body and you wear a t-shirt and it's a thin cotton poly blend or whatever t-shirt, it's not going to look good. It's going to bend and rest. But if you get like a heavy shirt, like, you know, those Hanes, like heavy shirts that they have, like those t-shirts are great for people that are uncomfortable with their body because they don't like fold and go around. Like they hold a shape and that's what you want to hold is that shape.

And if you have it so that it fits your shoulders well. Aaron, you're going to write that down. If you have it so it fits your shoulders well, it'll even make you look a little muscular. Well, can you spell that? H-A-N-E-S. A couple of months ago. I'm going to go by that. Aaron and I were out in Tacoma, Washington, and we had a woman, a fan of the podcast, who's a stylist, who's going to hook us up with some clothes.

And I think I know I am. I think you were both wearing those on stage. Yeah, I still I wouldn't have bought more of the stuff that she picked out for us. I think it's nice. It's very good this weekend. It's all stuff that she really Brian looked very, very nice. Yeah. Yeah. All those were stuff she picked. It's all about like we just live our whole life. I think you and I are like Brian, like you're just in this comfort zone of clothing. I feel silly and.

even taking a chance or branching out at all. It just takes somebody going, try this on. I would never have grabbed that off a rack. I would never have been in the store where that was even an option. So it just takes somebody going, try this. I think it'd be a great gift for your

Your husband was Father's Day coming up, right? I think so. Like that'd be, but it's like, if you did like, yo, get home and like, we're going to buy you one fitted outfit. Yeah. Just get it tailored. And it's not, and I think too, it's like, cause I think you think all this stuff is going to be super expensive and all this be the, it can be, but then also there's a world like with the golf, when the golf guy did it, the 50s, like, yeah, you go to a dry cleaners. Like it's, it's really nothing to get us. And you could go get something old that you like.

and just get it fitted to where you're comfortable. And then you're like, you're back in business and it will look like new clothes.

One thing that I always suggest is when you see somebody that's wearing something you like, just ask them. I mean, I'm not going to do that. Why not? I'm not doing that. Nick tells you to do that. You know who also does that, though? A lot of times women, when they're buying, I'll get messages from women like, hey, where can I get my husband that jacket you're wearing?

Like, where can I get jackets like that for my husband? Typical women comments. Yeah. Where can I make my husband look more like you? Yeah. Have you ever... That's what you tell my husband. He go, you can't. Yeah. Sweetheart, you can't. You can't never be a sweetheart.

Have you ever seen a TV show or a movie that's influenced you to buy something based on it looked cool in that movie? Talented Mr. Ripley. Oh, my gosh. I believe it, too. What Jude Law was wearing? I one time said that. I went out shopping for that outfit for a Tonight Show appearance. I heard a woman say... Great Outdoor? The old 96er t-shirt? Yeah. Yeah.

Beetlejuice. Charlie Sheen and Two and a Half Men. Bowling shirts. I got into that. Really? Oh, yeah. Your act would be very different. I went through a... Oh, it would be. That would be... That's like a scenario if someone... You listen to this. That would be... You acting in a bowling shirt would be... You'd have to be a different comic. Yeah. Your persona and everything about you would be different. Yeah, yeah. I went through a Hawaiian shirt phase.

for a while. Yeah, and you're a mix of like, you like kind of goofy stuff. You wear Walmart slides. A little bit. Not on stage or anything, but just around. But you just, you get older and then again, when you start doing comedy, start headlining, I tell a lot of comics, I'm like, there's a point when people are there to see you. You don't, I'm not saying go buy a tuxedo. It's like, just look. It almost would be unnoticeable.

Sometimes nice is almost unnoticeable. So when you go up there, people don't even really think about it because you're like, I'm taking the pressure off my... That's why Seinfeld wears a suit. That's why a lot of people do wear a suit. I would like to wear a suit, you know, because it's just like, all right, the suit, you just... Someone goes, he's wearing a suit, looks good. And you're just focusing on what the person's saying. You're not thinking about

their outfit anymore because it's not crazy or whatever. Sometimes you'll wear something pretty bold. Like there's one with the flowers. The flower jacket. Yeah. That I wore on the, in the SNL picture. I just, that jacket, I love that jacket the way it's,

You have some loud, like, hooded sweatshirts. I've always liked loud. Like, I've always, growing up, I liked shoes that looked crazy. I loved the most outlandish. Any basketball shoe that looked insane was my favorite. Bowling shoes? Did you wear those around? No, I didn't wear that. I wasn't that cool. I wasn't, you know, hip. Yeah, like, see that watch right there. Like, that definitely inspired. Wow. Wow.

How about that? Brian, what about you? Is there a movie or a TV show? Gunsmoke. I remember there was a phase where I did look up some movies that influenced fashion. Andy Griffith's show. You got one to look like everybody on that. I just want to wear all black and white. They go, you see Floyd.

Because at the barbershop? No, when Floyd goes out and does some dinner stuff. On the town. I like where you're going, though. It's like, I just want to, you know, all black and white colors like they were wearing. They're like, well, that was black and white. I wore a dress like Barney when he went to Mount Pilot. Yeah. Floyd Lawson. Yeah.

No, what else? Oh, when the Risky Business came out, Ray Bans went way up in sales. Tom Cruise.

uh, wore them in risky business. And then there was a couple, and I thought Dusty's going to jump out. Jesse, Dusty's a huge John Travolta fan. Really? Yeah. You wouldn't think it would you? Yeah. He loves John Travolta. Seen all his movies. That's crazy. And, uh, there's a couple that John Travolta influence. Um, what's the first one? Saturday night fever. Staying alive. Greece. But staying alive and Saturday night fever are seek. There,

They're the same character. I can't remember which one came first, but it's about disco in the late 70s. And the three-piece polyester suit that he wore in that movie, everybody started wearing those to disco. And then... To disco. Said like my grandfather. When they went out to the discotheque. Yeah.

Bibliotheca. No, that's a library. Sorry, everybody. You're talking about this suit right here? Yeah. You got to have a body for that suit, though. People actually wore that? Yeah, but you got to have a body for that suit, dude. You know what my body would look like in that suit? Exactly.

I mean, I would be so embarrassed. Like the Pillsbury Doughboy. Oh my gosh. It would just be... Like the Michelin Man. Like a lot of people going, did you leave the tag on? You're like, no, that's my nipples. It's just no one can tell. They're just confused.

Did you take the... There you are. Yeah. I mean, just that actually, I wish I looked like that. I wish I looked like the Michelin. There's actually consistency with his body. I have no consistency. I mean, I would kill to look like that.

Oh man, look at, he looks unbelievable. Look at those shoulders. You just wouldn't know what you're getting. That's the thing is I, when I wear something, you don't, you just see a different size. Look at the original mission. Yeah. Yeah.

And then when he did the movie Urban Cowboy, it made cowboy looks popular. Do you think a single movie can influence culture in that same way now? I feel like it can't. There's just so much going on. What's that? I think TikTok. What's that video of that girl dancing wearing goth? It's like Adam's family or something like that. I don't know. I don't know. It's like she does a crazy dance and...

yeah i think it's like uh like adam's family like i don't know if it's wednesday or something yeah yeah something like that like i feel like i bet people start wearing those like gothy dresses and then uh those big pants i mean there's still fashion so it's like i think these people yeah but like you said tom cruise wore ray-bans in the movie and it shot up ray-bans well there's that would be i think more there's no movie stars

There's not a movie star anymore. So there's not a, there's not someone to do that with, but there's the trends are more broad because there's no one that's, you know, but having Taylor Swift wore Ray-Bans, I think Ray-Bans would, you know, but now they would give people, uh, you know what? They probably ruin it too. Cause they would give them the brand. They would give them like a line. Mm-hmm.

in their brand, which kind of ruins it. You're like, the point is like Tom Cruise wore Ray-Bans that I can buy instead of going to buy Tom Cruise's Ray-Bans. Right. You know, where now Tom Cruise is like, buy my Ray-Bans. You know, it's the idea that you're like, no, I just want to buy something that's... He had a Ray-Ban as a Top Gun too. Yeah. He probably does...

own a stake in ray-bans at some level maybe but he doesn't promote like you know he's done those no the thing is those look like ray-bans but they're probably like oliver people's or some sort of like higher brand all over people's i mean that's just like a really expensive glasses yeah i never heard of that i thought right being top of the line yeah no as good as it gets ebay motors is here for the ride remember when you first saw the potential

Oh, man. What was I going to say? Oh, but you said those could be nicer sunglasses. But surprisingly enough, I've noticed as now that I do have to pick clothes up when you do the SNL, you're doing a lot of fittings and a lot of stuff like that. But a lot of stuff is not crazy. It's not a crazy... You always think everything on TV is going to be like, well, you can't even get that. A lot of stuff is...

You'd be surprised. I wear a lot of marine layers.

Green layers, very nice. But it's not anything, you know, you would think like sometimes it could be a shirt that's like, you know, well, this is some crazy whatever. And it's like, it's not as much as you think. Like I was surprised there's, you know, you said about a Hanes t-shirt. Well, you know, and again, if you have the right body, let me tell you, this is go work out. Because I mean, I trust me. My body's, I'm wearing, I'm hiding everything.

I got black on top of black. Just in case you can see through just Superman x-ray vision. I want him to have one more struggle. Uh,

it's, you know, I mean, do you know, what do you wear? Like, do you not feel, you can be a different, I found a t-shirt. I like comfort colors, t-shirt comfort colors. I liked the way they feel. I bought like, you're a big guy. I think your body, your body is better. Cause you're just a big dude. Like,

Like Derek Stroop, I mean, he tucks his shirt in on stage. Yeah, it's crazy. Everything's about everything, but it works. It looks fine. It works for his personality. It does. Yeah, yeah. It works terrifically. He looks like a...

coach that blew a gasket and then he had to go out on stage. Finding something that's like a t-shirt that works, like Pro Sports Club is a t-shirt brand. You ever seen them? On eBay, it's like $4 a t-shirt. This is that. I buy all of... And it's $4, super easy. You can get them heavy-duty. They fit great.

They got like a big collar. They look kind of cool. But yeah, I would say most fashion is really just, it's like anything, just paying attention. Like it's not like a lot of times someone's buying something that's,

it's not like they know something you don't know they just are trying like it's like if you want to go through a line quicker it's like if you go to the airport you just pay attention and go like all right well i know the one in the middle is the one everybody's going to because most people are not paying attention well if i just pay attention i'll just go over here and there's one little line over here that no one's paid you know yeah it's that it's kind of that it's also knowing what the once you get

Old enough to know like, oh, I need like a T if I have like three t-shirts and I'm traveling, that'll be good for the whole time. And that way I don't have to like change shirts over and over and over again. The same color. Very simple. Keep it classic. I've been trying to do like I wear those Madewell t-shirts and then I got these. I got a few pairs of pants of these blue Delta shirts.

They're like Mississippi company. Someone commented on them this week. You wore them in Biloxi, I think. Someone commented that she said to her husband or vice versa, he's wearing Blue Delta. Yeah, because we're in Mississippi. I've been wearing them now. They got some very comfortable pants. And they do a fitted thing. So I've been wearing those. And I just wore them on stage because they do look great. But yeah, it's a lot of...

You know, I don't know. They're just nice. And you like a consistent, I don't know, as you get older, it's like you feel better going out. If you're, you know, just like you're kind of put together. We got three different decades here growing up. You and Nate are essentially the same age. So I just want to go over these a little bit to see if you guys were ever in these phases. So we'll see. Essentially the same. We are the same age. Well, he's 44.

Yeah, but you're about to be 44. When? December. Yeah, like 7th? 8th. 8th. Wow. There's a lot of December. When is Brian's birthday? November 3rd. Is that right? Wow. He mentions his birthday on stage. Oh, yeah. I really bring that down. Do you have a couple birthdays? Are you August? You're spring, right?

When are you? Is your birthday spring? November 13th. Oh, that's right. Yeah, my dad's the 12th. Yeah, yeah. Okay, November 13th. We're good at... My mom's really good at birthdays. Numbers, I think I got a little bit of... We're horrible about it in our family. I think that is a family thing. My mom's birthday is today. Happy birthday. Happy birthday to my wonderful mom. June 3rd. So I think we're going to have a little dinner tonight. Very fun. Happy birthday. Love you, Mom.

Maybe some McDonald's. Yeah. Maybe Derek. I try to talk her into it. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So for the 80s, when I grew up, leg warmers, we've only talked about men's style, but leg warmers were big. Leg warmers. Yeah. For women. Like socks that go up real high. Yeah. So you wore these. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I wore these to school. Yeah. Yeah.

No, I didn't. They're purely decorative or are they actually to warm your legs? Because you can just wear pants, right? I think it started off to literally warm your legs, but they just became decorative. Yeah, but they still warmed your legs. Like if you want to wear. I'm sure they get those calves pretty warm. But when would you need your calves warm and your thighs not? I mean, at nighttime, I'd like to keep my calves warm and my thighs. Well, this is where they get a little overheated. I start sweating.

Can you imagine? Yeah. You got one. You're like, you put them on and just like, your leggings wet. Like I sweat. That's where I sweat. Put Botox in there. Maybe you shouldn't wear thick wool leggings. Yeah. You think that's why they get so hot? It's hard to tell. Imagine you have to pull them down. She's like, I'm hot. Oh, okay. Now I... That's like if you wear...

Sometimes you can wear a nice, like in Seinfeld, because Sainz, when he wore the hat, he can wear a hat sometimes and you're like, it really does bottle up the heat. You can feel, oh, you can feel warm. I mean, that's 80% of your heat coming out of your head. I think I could be moving into a vest phase.

because of my body because i'm not embarrassed by my arms sweater vest no no oh yeah no you're seeing your mind dude like a tactical vest yeah i mean just something bulky like a construction site a lot of pockets life jacket yeah you know like beware vest and it covers up you feel better right in here yeah i think i'm also in a phase i'm getting my stomach out a little bit farther than my chest and that helps

That's where a bigger guy looks good. Like Sopranos and Tony Soprano. What are you talking about? His stomach was so big. He looks good without a shirt on because he's so fat. That's what you're going for? I'm in between right now. At some point. I need to pick a lane and choose. Obviously, to live longer, I should choose the one route. Right. I can feel myself close to being like

All right. Let's just lean in. Let's just lean into it. And then like, so I just start lifting weights and you just become kind of fat. Barrel chest. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just kind of fat, strong.

The thing about that too is that, you know, cause like you were saying about Derek, how he tucks his shirt in and he just embraces it. And that looks good. It looks great. Right. But it's, it's that like everybody wears their weight differently. So finding out like, Oh, so if I wear darker pants, it kind of hides that. And then, you know, you got to wear something like every weight has a better fit to it. You know, like finding out which fit is right for you.

Did you ever wear parachute pants? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I think I did. Are you serious? Yeah. I think that came out right around. Oh, my gosh. It was like MC Hammer. Yeah. And you would actually wear those. Oh, yeah. Just like to wear. School. You would wear pants like that? They weren't like that. I mean, that looks insane. Well, that was MC Hammer. Yeah. Yeah. I wanted something like it, though, I remember. Yeah. Yeah.

But back then, like when something was cool, no one was making it yet. I don't know if I had parachute pants. I thought I remember having pants in a lot of pockets. I had stuff like this. Yeah. Well, that stuff looks fun. It's like you're skiing. But that's the thing. Like nowadays, if somebody could find men to take a picture with those pants on.

A couple guys. That actually has a lot of guys, actually. I thought it was all women. Just assume. Yeah. I'm sorry. I assumed it was mostly women. And I was wrong. John Mulaney on the left. It's a ton of men. And they... All right. That was my bad. Nick, did you ever have a grunge phase? Yeah. He's had all the phases. Yeah. I've gone through them all. What about a punk phase?

No, no. That's the one thing if you do that, you're just an absolute poser. Like you can't, if you try, if you try and dress like with like, to me, those leather jackets are so hard to like, it's not me. Like I don't look good wearing. You don't like anybody look like Green Day. No, no. If it's, that's your thing. That's your thing. But like a guy like, like I don't listen to punk music. I don't. So if I tried to go through that phase, that's like, yeah.

I mean, every now and again, you see someone that looks cool and you're like, God, I wish I could pull that off. But unfortunately, I don't. That's like a whole different

But grunge is just like, oh, so I wore a t-shirt with a flannel with a pair of jeans. You were in the heart of grunge. That's right when it was the biggest. Yeah. We look back at that too. It was just the simplest outfits. With Kurt Cobain, it was like he would wear a cardigan. Really? Yeah. He wore a cardigan with jeans and a t-shirt. That was grunge.

Okay. Wow. Simple look. Iconic. All right. So the early 2000s, skinny jeans found a resurgence. Resurgence from when? That's a good question. I went in deep on that. You were deep skinny jeans? I went pretty deep. Oh, man. Like hanging it on. Yeah. A friend of mine started making them. And so then I just was like.

Look how fringy you got, man. I was about to say, you just know somebody that makes jeans. They had a line of jeans that seven jeans bought their line of jeans. You think Dusty's bringing this to the table? No, not even close. No one has a friend that makes jeans. And they were obscenely tight. And I just look back, I remember... I mean, maybe if you type my name in skinny jeans, it might even have a picture. But I...

uh no mostly you with loose jeans yeah there's some older ones but yeah pretty brutal like that jacket right there that i'm wearing in the with that show that yeah that jacket you can like search and and uh like the shirt the jacket from love life or whatever the show is that yeah it's a nice jacket that was like a really expensive i think double rl now what is this with you and anna kendrick holding hands it looks like it's just us hanging out but it's us actually filming something

But it was like posted in like Us Weekly as like, ooh, out on the town.

Yeah. Oh, really? I love me and Anna Kendrick. No one's going to think it's just us on the town. They're going to be like, this is a funny comedy. What happened? Nick Thune out on the town. What happened to Anna Kendrick? She's hit rock bottom. Yeah. Okay. So skinny jeans were influenced by bands like fallout boys. Those are my jeans, by the way, that, that, that sometimes when you go on a show, they're like, Oh, what? Bring in a couple of your own things and we'll see if we like it. And yeah,

I brought those in. They're like, yeah, it's great. Those are my own boots. I don't think they would ask me that. No. You bring anything, they go, no. No, no, no, no. Don't even go home. Unless I'm playing John Fetterman in a TV show. That's pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty good. I don't know who John Fetterman is. I don't know who that is. The guy, you know, the senator that wears all those stuff, that wears...

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's wearing legit the same. That's pretty funny. You could be... You're wearing the same... I mean, I'm wearing the car heart. He's wearing the car heart right there. I know, but that hoodie... I mean, the hat is amazing. Yeah. Is that fake? That must be fake. No. No. He really had that hat on. That's very funny. Oh, yeah, dude. He just shows up to like... Look at him walking around...

Like real buildings. Just dressed like me. That's a real building? I wore that going to Dollar General yesterday. You see him walk in, you're like, oh my God, January 6th is happening again. No, no, no, that guy's supposed to be here. He's a sender. They don't know what's going on. Wow. He walked out with them. That's that goatee that's so strong. It's just the chin. Not that picture, but... Yeah, I know what you mean.

Yeah, right there. Yeah, man. He just dresses how he dresses. Yeah. That's what everybody should be doing. Dressing how they dress. That's a size. I mean, when you get hot, you're hot all the time. You're wearing shorts. He's in Pennsylvania where it gets so cold. He's always got shorts on. Whenever I... When people travel, people that...

People are like, oh, I'm going to New York. I should bring some walking shoes. And you bring shoes that you never wear. And you're like, oh, and I should probably have a sweatshirt. Whenever I travel, I'm like, what did I wear in the last week? I'm bringing those because those are what I would naturally wear. And I used to pack like, oh, I'm probably going to need this jacket I've never worn before. And then I get there, I'm like, why didn't I just have the clothes I wore yesterday? What am I doing here? eBay Motors is here for the ride.

Aaron is scrolling through pictures of this guy and I just saw him go like this. He saw a picture and he looked down at his outfit. You're going for the John Fetterman? I know nothing else about this guy, but I like the way he looks. He's got it figured out. That's a real American right there. Yeah.

Yeah, I like it. Hey, he doesn't. Is that card heart? Double card. Sure. Underneath is also card heart.

- What does it be? Well, Carhartt is like, it was a real working man's thing. - Oh yeah, and then it got co-opted by people like me. - Yeah. - No, well, the thing was is Carhartt had Carhartt European, which was a fashion brand. - A high fashion brand, right? - 15 years ago, I bought some Carhartt in Germany that was like, I was like, "How can I get this anywhere?" And then I go back to America where Carhartt's made and you couldn't buy it anywhere. It was like, "No, you can only buy workwear here."

And then they... You sound like an old, traveled... You're just saying stuff that no one can...

Well, then Carhartt became into the society. When I was in Germany, I bought Carhartt. I've been playing pickleball since I was four years old. Well, I'd be walking around wearing a Carhartt jacket. People are like, wait, why is that fitted and look cool? It's like, oh, because it's the fashion side of Carhartt. Do you know the fashion capitals? And then you go play pickleball and they go, what's that sport? You figure it out. You figure it out. I had heard that Carhartt was faster than Europe. And I was at a Carhartt store and I saw Carhartt.

a shirt that had the Carhartt logo and then it said FR on it. And I was like, all right, it's like the French. Well, that Carhartt. And then I bought it. Then I found out the FR stands for fire resistant. I bought like the more industrial kind of clothes. I thought I was buying the French. Carhartt whip is what they call it now. Work in progress is their fashion kind of side.

Oh, okay. Carhartt Whip. So there's four fashion capitals, Nick. Do you know them? Milan. Here we go. Is it Milan? Yeah, it's one. Paris. Yep. New York. Yep. And. Knoxville. Was last night. Lebanon. Madrid. London. Oh, London. Yeah. According to who? What does this even mean?

It's four places where they have a fashion week. Oh, New York. It's on there. You said New York. Yeah. New York. Yep. They have two fashion weeks a year. And I think Paris is the biggest one. What's the point of fashion though? When they wear this stuff, that's like no one would ever wear avant-garde, right? It's like art. So I'm like the stuff where they walk out and they're wearing like, yeah. So those are like, those are the, when you see like a line of like somebody's clothes, like this is my spring 2024 line, you know?

People buy that. It's crazy to think that there are people that will go and buy this stuff, but then also they have their more public brand. Every high-end brand has their

Here, like Burberry, for instance, right? Like if you want to go get a Burberry jacket, they have one that says Burberry in huge letters all over it. That's the cheapest version. The most expensive Burberry jacket is one that you wouldn't even know is Burberry, except for the small tag where it is. It doesn't say Burberry anywhere. It's like, that's like, this is the high end version. And the low end version is here's all of our names. And like you walk through New York and people are dressed like that. People wear something like that. Oh yeah. You ever been to the Met Gala?

No, that'd be fun though. It seems like a weird, I don't, I don't really know what it is. I mean, I think everyone's just dressing weird. What's what I just seen them outside of it. I don't know what goes on inside, inside the fundraiser for the museum for the Mets. They don't need it.

Are they good this year? No, but they have all the money in the world. Oh, really? Why? Because the owner's billionaire and they have a lot of money. And they're just not using it. They use it. They just, I don't know. They've had bad luck. So what I read was they do these fashion shows and then some celebrity or influencer maybe like some of it and then they start wearing it and then enough people take interest. Then the

department stores have a designer and they make a line that the average person can buy. Yeah, they do. Like for instance, you know, Costco. Yeah. But like, you go wear that, like, where are you going? Like, I mean, she's going to that event, but you didn't know what walk around the yard. No, no, none of this stuff. The Matt Gallo stuff. No, but like for instance, Kirkland select right at Costco. Yeah. Kirkland select vodka.

is whatever the high-end vodka is that's Kettle One. It actually is. Kirkland Select is Kettle One. They said to Kettle One, we sell your vodka the most. Can we sell it with our own brand and half market down? And then you guys will get

still get money out of it. They're like, oh, great. So that's Kirkland Select. It's like that thing. And a lot of brands do that where they might partner with a bigger brand and be like, we're going to make the obtainable version of this thing. They did have golf balls. Yeah. They made them like pro V1s. I think they got sued. I think they were pro V1s. I think they were pro V1s and they might've got sued though. Really? I don't think, because they have approval from the people when they do it. I feel like something,

This one, they did it. My grandfather owns Costco. Yeah. Is that when y'all were in Germany? You started Costco? I actually am interested in becoming a Costco member. I like walking around. They're so fun. I think we're Sam's.

Yeah, we're Sam's Club. Is that the same? It's the same type of business model, but it's Walmart's. It's Walmart's answer to Costco. A little more blue-collar than Costco, I think. Costco's the more popular. It's like Target and Walmart, essentially. Angela Johnson has a joke about buying her clothes now at Costco. You get a certain age and you just stop caring.

She told me skinny jeans are out and Dusty said the same thing. So yeah, they are. No, I think, well, right now what's, I mean, in with like, it's like baggier everything, you know, like they're kind of going back into that nineties, like baggier jean phase. What's never going to be out is just well-fitted clothes. That's the thing. Like it's at some point you just need to start shooting for that. What's something that's classic. That's just not going to go out. This outfit will never go out.

I beg to differ. I would argue it never came in. You can keep begging all you want. He's on my knees. Can I differ? What are some fashion don'ts? What about the white after Labor Day? I don't know. I do that. I don't care.

I think the only fashion don'ts are, for me, it's like hopping onto whatever the newest trend is and acting like that's your thing. It's just, it doesn't look good. It's obvious. You see it and it's obvious. Funny enough, if someone stays consistent, their thing comes back. Yeah, comes back, comes in again. The thing with right now is social media and everything. Like the 70s,

were the 70s, right? And then the 80s happened. And then right at the end of the 80s and the 90s, people were like, we're having 70s parties, dress like the 70s. But now we're literally having dress like 2021, you know, like because of the way that everything comes out, like it's like everything's rotating so fast. And the 90s are now what the 70s were to us as kids to them. But also the 90s are just a style now that people are adapting to.

I think puka shell necklace. Yeah. Rubber bands on your wrist. Nate was a big puka guy. I had a big puka shell necklace phase. I was, you know, those, I think, honestly, anything that you wear with pride is going to be fun. Oh, yeah. I love puka shell. I had a few of them. Bring it back. Balkan 2 somewhere in Sina. That's Nate. That's awesome. Does your body look like that?

The inside layer down. People say things like, you know, don't wear brown shoes with a black belt. Right. Right. All of again, rules are not rule there for the people that are like, what's the most basic non-offensive thing I can do and and do well and not worry about it. Then, yes, match your shoes to your belt. Do all of those things. But none of that's necessary. None of it about white belt.

White belts can be great. Yeah. All right. Well, on a black jacket, I bought a white belt and it just didn't, I buy things a lot where I'm like, and I don't know what I was thinking. And I gave it away. I'm like, I just don't, why did I think I wanted that? I do that way less. Now I used to do that way more, but white belts are, I mean, it's hard to find the right outfit for a white belt, but it's out there. Yeah. If you just try. So if somebody wanted to check out your fashion page, where would they go?

Well, on my page, I have on my regular... It's Me Show You Fashion, which I don't post on as much as I should, but I have a good thing going there. But on my...

See, like some of these. Yeah. This woman made me this jacket out of a blanket. So I was like, yeah, I'll post a photo. Why not? And I love that jacket, by the way. Every time I wear it, people are like, where, how, why? And it's a woman that lives in Baltimore who I think I tagged there. Yeah. It's a quilt. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And then I recently asked her to make me another one. She made me one that's like down to my ankles.

And it's basically, I just have it in the house and I wear it like a blanket. Oh, yeah. It's so nice. It's like wrapping a blanket around me. But in here, there's like, I think I do some like, there's me and Nate. Then I do some dog park fashion at some point down there where, you know, people are dressing a certain way everywhere they go. I didn't know what you had on. That looked like a...

He had a towel on underneath the something like your tower on your neck. Like this guy had a watch on this. Like I just get a watch on that just told him the day.

Oh, really? Yeah. That's fun. That's fun. It's only day. It was a day watch. He said it was pretty great. Um, I saw that guy at the grocery store the other day. He's like, Hey, remember me? Day watch guy. Oh, really? Yeah. How could I forget? Yeah. How you been doing? Is stuff taking off for you? What day is it? Yeah. Yeah. You have the day. You don't happen to have the day on you. Do you? Yeah. Sometimes you don't know the day. Maybe the day is more important than the time. Yeah. You know, ultimately it is. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, and I just started to design shirts because I was like, I don't want to make merch that has a joke on it, but I will make some shirts that I think are cool and sell those. Why not? Like this one with the lawn chair. Yeah.

I like watching Nate kind of soak in some of the things that I've done where he's like, and okay, so this is a, I guess you drew a lawn chair and somehow made shirts out of it. And that's cool. And we got to go support it. Nate buys eight of them. That's a fun thing. I'm happy to be doing it. I like the hoodie. Yeah, the hoodie's cool. Yeah. Yeah. All right. First sale.

I think we're good for sale. All right. Yeah. Go buy it. All right. Thank you. Fashion. Yeah, you did great. Yeah. Thanks, guys. Super fun. Yeah. Yeah. I was worried. July 3rd. I am doing a show with the new lab at Zany's. And I haven't been there yet. I know you guys did it. Nate was the first comic to do. Yep. Went on stage. Bombed. Got off. Yeah.

First comic to bomb, too. That was everything. I wanted it to be everything. But it's a Brian Bates and Friends show at the Lab at Zaney's. Now, the Lab is, what, a hundred-seater? Yeah.
