Hello folks and hey bear welcome to the podcast. I'm neighbor gets the brown baits Aaron Webber dusty sleigh all right and surprise Boom, we're in a new studio. Here we are. Yeah, I mean this is we I don't think anybody knew this was happening and

Y'all knew, but... Even we kind of doubted it. Yeah. You know, we had been seeing, you know, I had seen the room and it was empty. Yeah. Yeah.

And this is it. They've done a great job. This is a new studio. It's out of my house. That room gets to become an office. I've never had an office. And you get your house back. I get my house back. I enjoy that. I think it feels better to leave.

your home to go to work. I'm sure people, you know, that work from home. So it's like nice to get out and go do something. And dog will miss me. But yeah. Oh yeah. I think we're all, you know, I went to your house today. Yeah. Just sat there. Yeah. I thought, I guess everybody's running late. Yeah. Uh, so yeah, this is it. Uh, they've done an unbelievable job, uh, with this dayland podcast. This is a map behind us of old Hickory, uh,

We've got some new photos. Still, it's heavy me. Yeah, still pretty Nate heavy. But we have some stuff. There is a lot of me stuff. And I mean, look, the second y'all start putting a dent in show business, I think we will get your stuff on it. Well, that's what I'm trying to tell them. I'm like, you know.

I got some stuff going on, too. I don't think people know that with the podcast here. I know it's Nate Land, but other people live here. Yeah, that is true. Well, maybe you can get a poster over there. Or change that one out to Dusty something, whatever it is. This was a fan contest. Abigail asked the Facebook fan page to come up with some

AI-related photos, and this was the winner. I had to ask somebody who was who here.

But can you tell, Nate? Yeah. How could you not tell? I think it's me, Bates, Dusty Aaron. Apparently, I'm a raccoon. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know why you're a raccoon. And I thought mine was a mouse. Is it not a mouse? It's a squirrel? It's a squirrel. I understand now. I could see that. And then what are you, like a fat tiger? Just a fat cat. Yeah. Because you like cats. Or you have a cat. Oh, yeah, you have a cat. That's a nice...

Yeah. No real reason for me to be a raccoon. That's a cat that should be on Ozempic. You kind of behave like a raccoon. But raccoons really wash all their food. They're pretty clean animals. I think they don't trust the system. Yeah, that's right. I get that. They live off the grid, for sure. They only come out at night. Yeah. That's the shirt you wore on SNL, I'm told. The flower. Yeah.

Oh, on the bear. On the bear. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, there's some Easter eggs. You know what? I almost wore that jacket today. I wish you had. Well, Laura talked me out of it. I wore this. I thought I was like, I wear kind of a fancy jacket. You know, figure it's the first one. But this is still fancy. Yeah. This one's considered fancy. But yeah, here we are. We're excited. Yeah.

This is at the lab at Zany's. And yeah, it's, you know, we've done, it was this 210 episode. I think so. And so a long time. And, you know, I, you know, I guess people, you know, but this is one you're not going to bully me out of like the doing the.

an hour podcast this is out of my house that's right so y'all there ain't no voting to get it back in my home oh yeah oh oh yeah okay i didn't know what you were saying but i get it now yeah yeah the people they're not gonna be like got it you gotta get back to your house yeah next thing you know we're all back at your house yeah yeah you guys wanted it back at the house we've switched it

These are some pictures of just the build process. I think people are probably excited about that. And a good map in case you need to get around. This is Old Hickory. That is a great, it is a great, great thing.

The generation's a good eight. We got Adrian is in here. My sister, Abigail, Laura, there's we got the whole Nate land crew did a great job and we're excited to be here. Zanies is the best.

And it's, yeah, it, I mean, it feels good to be in a studio. It feels different. Yeah, it does. Yeah. This is amazing. Yeah. Aaron, how'd you feel when for four years you've been just hanging out with your buds and then they said, what if we did it from where Aaron's wife works? I didn't even think about that till right now, Brian, but yeah, I guess we're going to see a lot more of each other. Yeah. Yeah. Is that good? Oh no. We'll find out. Soon your kid will be running around in here. Yeah.

I guess so. And this table, I'm told, is, Dusty, you want to guess what this is? Well, I already read the paper. Oh. I mean, ambrosia. Everybody has a pine. It's wood for sure. Red maple ambrosia. Oh, wow. Isn't ambrosia a snack? It's like a potluck, like a dish you would bring.

Ambrosia? You don't know what I'm talking about? I do not. I trust you on that. That's a fancy. I don't think it is a fancy thing. I think it's like a kind of redneck, like pasta salad type thing.

Ambrosia? I would have known about it. Yeah, I don't think they would use that. Well, there's pork in it. I don't think they'd use that big of a word for a redneck pasta salad with pork growing up. Yeah. Ambrosia. Yeah, but that's not... You've never seen this stuff? I would call that a fruit salad. Yeah. That's what's so great about it. Because, yeah, you would say it is a redneck thing, but you...

make it the name no one on earth in alabama except your family is calling that ambrosia you tried that ambrosia in there yeah like what no i don't know who's that it's my sister who's my aunt ambrosia it's my cousin's girlfriend ambrosia welcome yeah she's in the picture one year not in it the next year doing some jail time yeah she'll be back

She's in it every other year. That's like a fruit salad covered in mayonnaise, right? Is that what that is? I don't know if it's mayonnaise. I think it's marshmallows. Maybe it's mayonnaise. I don't know. I feel like there is a lot of different weird kind of mayonnaise-y fruit things. You know, like pear salad. So that's what this table's made out of. Well, apparently, I'm reading here, it's red maple, but the ambrosia is the discoloring.

So they, okay. And it does that, the tree does that to fight off the beetles. These little marks are beetles trying to,

get in there so this is not initials down here i thought this was the guy who built the table l lf i figured you'd already carved your initials he might that might was that no no initials it says lf down here so the beatles really get in there and they're like i want them to know i was here yeah that those that those that beetle had a name yeah yeah

Well, yeah. I mean, look, this is, yeah, it's interesting. It'll be fun to see what everybody thinks because it was, you know, we were like, should we announce it that we are switching or whatever? And it's just been busy.

And so it was like, you know what? Let's just do it one day. Yeah. It's kind of fun. Yeah, it's awesome. You know, so if you were about done with the podcast, I think you can officially click off now. Perfect time. It's a perfect... If you go... If you felt like we're jumping the shark, we're giving you... You know, this is a good time to go. Well, if you were just...

like listening for the aesthetic of the last podcast room. It's like, you're not really a listener. You're, you're like a watcher. Yeah. Well, they might be, you know, and then maybe they go, I'm going to start listening. Yeah. But we hope people come watching. This is,

I mean, it's a beautiful studio. Yeah. We're the real deal, man. This is like a real thing. Yeah. It's a real thing. People are listening to this. Yeah, I mean, this is like in a brand new studio. This podcast is the first to happen in a brand new studio. Yeah. Yeah. We are it. It's big time. Exciting things around the corner. Setting the tone. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. All right.

That's it. Do we have other information? Oh, another one we should announce. I'll do it. Sure. Well, you had said that the Ambrosia beetle comes into this wood, and that's why the tree is named the Ambrosia tree. But what if...

I think I had that wrong. It's a red maple tree. Ambrosia is the discoloring. Oh, okay. Because the Beatles done that. Yeah. Okay. I don't think we're going to talk that much about it. Well, I wanted to clear it up. I appreciate it. In case anybody was out here going, well. That's gross. Here's what that looks like if you're interested. Oh, yeah. That's got to be the larva, though.

Maybe. Or this is what they look like. I think that's got to be the larva of the beetle. Either way, that's going on on this table right now. So we do have guests. Yeah. Yeah, we have a setup. We will be able to have some guests and add a guest. You know, if someone's in town, it's kind of fun. Yeah. Other little news is...

The Nateland Podcast Network, we have started that. The idea of it would be, you know, obviously we're going to build a network of podcasts. You know, the stuff that fits into this. I would like to, you know, Nateland, a slogan that we've been bouncing around is good, clean, funny.

And so the idea of it is to make more stuff like this. I don't think there's a lot of comedy podcasts, especially that with comics that is clean that you can listen to where your whole family's in there. And that's the idea of doing it. And the first podcast we have added to the Nate Land Podcast Network is Don't Make Me Come Back There with Dustin and Melissa Nickerson.

Dustin Nickerson, you've heard Aaron mocked him. Yeah. Worst impression I've ever heard. That's his biggest credit so far. Yeah, that was a big draw. A lot of people came out to see how real it was. Dustin has been on the road with me a bunch. He's been traveling around a lot. He also opened for Taylor Thompson a bunch.

And then he's really doing... Dustin's doing a great thing. Him and his wife are super fun. They wrote a book together. They wrote a book together. They record it weekly in San Diego. They have three kids, 17-year-old boy and two girls. Each week, they dive into the funny realities of parenting, marriage, childhood, siblings, and so much more.

It's funny. It's a little bit serious. It's the best way to handle family. And so we're pumped to have that. They've been doing this already. So they already have a ton of listeners. It's not like it's something out of obscurity. It's like this is a well-loyaled machine that's just going to... It's already going. Yeah. And Dustin is...

Just been killing it on the road. We think if you like this, you're going to like that. That's what we're hoping to. This is the beginning. This is the beginning. Our destiny will bring us all down. It could go a couple ways. And that's what's fun. Sign back here is hand whittled and painted. Did you say that? Uh-uh. Well, I should have. It's a big deal. It wasn't AI. That's the real...

We had a guy. I like the idea that the guy was whittling it. Now, I know that is the term, but whittling seems so old school. Sitting on a porch with a knife. Yeah, to quote Brian, of a bygone era. Yeah. Whittling. And the map. I said that. Old Hickory. Okay. It is of old Hickory. I said that at the beginning. Is the wood from this sign Hickory wood? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It's very old hickory. Yeah. It's hickory. Yeah. Old hickory. Old hickory on top of old hickory. Yeah. Can you do wood? You could really tell the difference of a lot of wood. You're a wood guy? I don't think so. I mean, I could probably tell the difference in some. I have trouble when people even just say near that oak tree and you're just like, well, I don't even. Oh, like trees. Yeah, I can tell a few trees. I'm better at it than I was. You tell if something's good wood or bad wood?

You knock on a lot of wood. Are we talking trees or like actual wood? Just walking through a building, do you knock on a lot of wood? No, I don't think so. Just kind of feel it out? No, I don't. I don't really. I'm not like that. But yeah, I mean, you know, I go buy some wood at the Home Depot and I can be like, this wood's warped. I'm not getting this. Yeah. You know? Well, warp's easy to see.

If it's shaped differently. Yeah, I mean, or if it's rotted. There you go. It's got ambrosia in it. Yeah. Something like that. Beatles. Yeah, now I know if it has LF, I know what to look for. Beatles got into it. There's a little bit of a, that's a little bit of a, you know, it's not an L on that one, but still kind of an F. Yeah. They got a real pattern about them, these Beatles. All right.

We're off to the races here at the new studio. You guys are asking me about wood. I'm telling you about beetles. And somehow, you know, you guys are tuning out. Well, there's a, I'll help you out, Dusty. There's a scene in Tombstone, which I think only you and I have seen, the big pivotal scene where Johnny Ringo

challenges Wyatt Earp to a duel and they say meet by the the old oak tree down at whatever and I thought if that was me I would never make it because I wouldn't know which one's an oak yeah yeah

Probably good. But I bet you found that you'd find the ballpark of it and then go, I bet, you know, they go, did you know it was an oak tree? He goes, I saw people standing around faster than I saw the tree. So I walked over there. And I think that's what the, that's what, that's how that would go. Yeah.

You're walking through the woods going, Johnny, Johnny. I don't know what the oak tree is trying to gunfight you. And when people say it's by the oak tree, oak trees, do they not come in packs? Do they stand alone? I think they say it's good to have like three oak trees planted near each other because their roots will intertwine and it'll make them sturdier against the wind. Just like us. And I think a tree like that, that's kind of on its own.

Yeah, because if you're pointing it out, they go, it's over by that oak tree. Well, I mean, there's a lot of trees. What's the most common tree? What about the tree in Pine Tree? Oak tree is a real American tree, I believe. It's the best tree to have. Red maple is the most common in the United States. The oak's the best to have, though, because it's the most insects. This is red maple? Yeah.

This is red maple in Ambrosia. Yeah. So we got the most common one. The oak is the U.S.'s national tree, though. Yeah, it's a real American tree. I didn't know we had a national tree. Yeah. We got an animal. We got a flag. We got a song. We got a tree as well. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Oak tree. And I think it's a native tree. And it gets the most insects, the most birds, the most animals house in the oak tree. I almost read a whole book about oak trees.

I read a good bit of it. Like, I got enough. Yeah. I get it. Did it start getting repetitive? Yeah. I mean, after a while, it's like, yeah. I'll get this book. What would a pine tree book be about? It's like, same thing, just says oak. It's pine. We just put pine in there. Yeah. But I don't think the pine is housing as many animals. Pine's good for building. A lot of wood that you buy is pine. Yeah. You know?

Real long trees. Yeah. Get good lumber out of it. Yeah. A lot of trees.

All right. Well, this is it. This is... I think it's a little weird just because we're sitting in a different way. I will say it's going to take a second to adjust to the physical dynamic in the room right now. Yeah, we've all gotten used to the way we were sitting, and now we're sitting in a different way, and I feel like it is making conversation more difficult. I'm fine putting you and Aaron back on that side.

Our backs to the camera the whole time. I think that would be great. I like that. Where's Aaron laying at? People wouldn't talk about my face. I'm going to find the Aaron laying. I think that's the Aaron laying camera right there. There's Aaron laying. None of these seem to be pointing at me. Yeah. Well, we're trying to. Oh, it is? We got a general idea of where you're at. I think the audience can feel it. The people at home, they just...

They close their eyes. Even if they're not watching, they go, I bet I know where he's at. I bet one side of them is empty. I bet he doesn't know where he's at. eBay Motors is here for the ride.

Well, we're going to start off with you guys. Some comments. This is the first comics read in the new studio. Brian Trump. Aaron, I was at your show this weekend where the lady groaned when you said you'd stick around for meet and greet. In her defense, it was the biggest yawn I've ever seen. Not a groan.

But I'm not sure if that makes you feel better or worse. You absolutely killed it, though. Thanks for the unbelievable email. All right. Oh, that's fun. I was in Cincinnati. I had one of those, yeah, you know, I didn't really think she was. But I said, hey, if you want to say hi after the show, and then I just hear, like, right after that. It was a funny thing. She said hi after. Thank you, Brian Trump. You think that's been fun having that name? Yeah. You know, I don't know. I mean.

I wonder if he's in a super common name. Sometimes it's probably fun for him, and other times it's pretty awful. Yeah.

If it out of the Trump family, it's a Brian, the Brian Trump, you'd be, you'd be like, you're not that close with him. He goes, no, I'm not. My name's Brian. Yeah. Imagine being like, it doesn't fit. And you're poor. Yeah. Like a poor Trump. Yeah. You're Brian Trump. Yeah. Brian. This would be. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Brian Trump. Uh, Shay Sargent.

We know Dusty's position on microwaves. Please ask him about the use of tanning beds. Tanning beds expose users to UV light. Both microwaves and ultraviolet light are forms of radiation. Ultraviolet light has more energy than microwaves, and that higher energy can be more harmful.

Yeah. I mean, I'm not going to advocate for tanning beds. You know, I have used a lot of tanning beds, but I've also used a lot of microwaves. You love a tanning bed though. I do like a tanning bed. Will you go to a tanning bed? I haven't been in years, but I used to go a lot. Really? I love a tanning bed.

I don't think I've ever been in a tan. Me either. It's like the last thing I think you would do. Yeah. I mean, I don't do it now. You do mostly spray tans now? No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm dusty. Why would you go into a dusty truck? No, I... It does a little red. I lay in the sun. I got a chair. I go lay out in the sun and...

I think it's great. I love it. But yeah, I mean, I like a tanning bed too in the wintertime when you can't get any sun. Go out, get a little. I think, I don't, I mean. How many dudes do you think go to a tanning bed? Like, and if you go to a tanning bed. In this part of the country? If you go to a tanning bed place. All the bodybuilders are in there. Yeah, those kind of guys. That's, that's, yeah. Me and those guys are in there getting jacked up. That's right. I'm like, I'm like, I see them lift and I go, I'll see you in the tanning bed.

Yeah. GTL. Do you have a nice, tidy, white-eyed tan lamp? No, that's why you do the tanning. He's got his socks halfway up, and he's got some Hanes. What do you mean there's no tan lines? Are you naked in there? Yeah. You don't get fully naked in a tanning. For sure. No. Yeah, you're in a room alone.

Do they know you were naked? Yeah, do you tell them? Yeah, that's what you do. No, I don't go, hey, I was naked in there. Come on, I'm going to wipe that down. You get a fire hose come in after you. You hear the generator start and they got to get it all. There's spray and everything for you to wipe them down. You wear the little goggles on your eyes? I do wear those. So you're fully naked, little things in your eyes, and that's how you tan? Yeah. Are you sure you're supposed to do it that way?

Yeah, that is how you're supposed to do it. Okay. I don't really do the tanning bed. And this – Shea is probably right here. But –

I, you know, I think that if you were to lay in a microwave, if you would be dead in 30 seconds. Yeah, if you were to lay in a fireplace, it'd be a problem, too. Well, sure. But she's comparing the microwave and the TV pad. Well, they're both. Yeah, they have forms of radio. I can't imagine. They're both safe is what she said.

Well, yeah, but it's like, listen, I put things when I was a kid, I would, you know, I killed a lot of insects and I would put sometimes put insects in the microwave just to see what would happen. Yeah. They die in seconds. Right. So I've laid in a tanning bed for 20 minutes before. So there's a difference. I'll tell you what, some of that did that microwaves insects. You out of all the people.

On earth, that microwaves insects, you might be the only one of them that has also been in a tanning bed. I really believe that. I really believe that. I don't know a lot of people that have microwaved insects, but you're right. I know. Exactly. Most of them go other routes. Yeah. But, because that's crazy. Yeah. A little, huh? A little ambient noise down. Yeah. A little sounds of Nashville right there. A little sounds of Nashville. Not always. It's Peter on the way. It's trees. Yeah.

So the microwaves would be your family's got to eat cold food. Yeah, not in my family's house. I mean, my dad and stepmom probably used the microwave. Exclusively microwaves. I used to put insects in ice trays too, and I would freeze them in the ice cubes. And I just like to see what was going on with it, you know?

My stepmom went in there to get some ice one time. There's a bunch of insects in there. Yeah. Well, you have friends. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I was on a real path. Yeah. At some point. Yeah. Turned out good, though. Yeah. It turned out great. Yeah. Brittany Rima. It all makes sense. Like it all. Like, you know, I think people just go like, oh, yeah. Yeah. Brittany Rima or Rima. Rima. I hope it's Rima. Brittany Rima.

I can't even tell you how much I relate to Brian during the ad reading, talking about getting pee on the shorts and then trying to get a word in to explain himself. I don't relate to the pee thing, but saying something and then trying to dig myself out of a hole and explain myself. Anyways, thanks for having the best podcast. Yeah, so last week I referenced something from Dusty's podcast where I heard Dusty talking about how he likes his V-Way shorts because...

If you pee on your shorts, it doesn't show as much.

That's true. Tries quit. Yeah. Which has been a problem for me throughout my life. Yeah. But then he like, what are you talking about? Like, he played dumb on me to make it look like I was. You're burying the lead here. Okay. We were in the middle of a timed ad read. And he goes. And Dusty's reading and he goes, yeah, the shorts are great. And Brian just goes, yeah, did you pee yourself? And we were like, hold on, let's finish the ad read. And he went with a brand. He goes, you pee your bugle boys. That's what really threw me. Yeah. Yeah.

He came right out with the Bugle Boys. I thought that was the brand you said. You know, who knows? But I used to have a Bugle Boy joke. You know, so who knows? Yeah. All right. Sorry I missed it. We get into it when you're gone, man. Last week's topic was trash. So we got- Did an episode on trash. Oh. Yeah. You'd actually liked it, I think. I think I would have. Yeah. He only does the good ones when I'm not here. Yeah.

John Janigian. Janigian. That's too many I's. John Janigian. Janigian. Janigian. Janigian. Janigian. I like that. Yeah, the John thing doesn't help. Bruce Janigian would have probably been... Yeah, yeah. Hard consonant there. It'd be tough if he married a lady named Jan.

John and Jan and again. Yeah. Whoa. This is the John and please welcome John and Jan, Jen and again. And everybody's like, what is there another four people come out? Uh, I can confirm.

Kevin Garnett is a prolific trash talker. I attended a basketball camp. He was hosted in the late 90s. After witnessing me botch a layup, he said I had big, goofy ears and walked away to another part of the court. Needless to say, I never played or followed basketball much after that event. Wow. Dang, John. That's a good one.

That's pretty great. I would like to see these ears, though. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it might have been like he would have been silly not to say something. Maybe it got in the way of his layout. His ear blocked it? Yeah. Do you think that anybody in Kevin Grenant's camp goes, hey, they are paying to attend this? He is eight. So maybe let's maybe hold back on that.

It costs $300 or whatever it is. Yeah, it's fine to trash talk another professional when you're playing the game. Yes. But a young child trying to learn basketball. Trying to meet his hero. Big goofy ears. Ben Michael. Michelle. Or it could be Ben Michelle. Could be a Ben Michelle. I am a garbage man.

It's probably Michael. I don't think of Michelle as a garbage man. Being Michelle, there ain't no Michelle family. Law enforcement officers at times contact my employer and ask for me to contact them. When I'm 45 minutes away from the customer, they are investigating.

I call them and set up a place to meet. When I put the trash in the hopper, I make sure not to pack it. I then meet them and transfer the trash to their vehicle. The nice officer gives me 20 for my time. Wow. It's not a bad deal. Yeah. Is that legal? So if you commit a crime and there's stuff in your trash...

All you got to do is tip the trash guy 40 bucks. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. I'll give you a hundred bucks and I want to see it. Yeah. Just burn, burn your trash. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Just burn your trash. Yeah. Uh, so he puts it. Yeah. Give you 20 bucks and then I get your trash. Why can't they just go grab the trash? Cause it's too obvious that they're investigating. They got to do it. Like I think the trash is still in their possession. So it's theirs. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, last week we talked about it. I think they should get more than $20. Yeah, I think so, too. Yeah. Depending on the crime they're investigating. Yeah, I don't think it matters. We can't get in the weeds of this. Cops are probably not making very much money either, though. But they're asking them to do, yeah. I guess $20 is like it's lunch. You're like, I got your lunch today. Yeah.

and it can't be, I mean, how often, I mean, what are they doing five times a day? They're just dealing with the garbage man. I mean, it's gotta be probably eight times a year. Like, yeah, maybe you don't have a budget. Ben's like, I think there's some evidence in this other trash. Yeah. Where are you going to say? Uh, I don't know. There you go. I don't even know. I said anything. I thought you did. Uh,

Oh, yeah. I said that last week we talked about they do have the right. Once you put your trash out, as long as it's away from your house, then the Supreme Court case where they ruled that police do have a right to come go through your trash. Yeah. So I bet they're just trying to be like, we could go get it, but.

We don't want to make it obvious that we're, we don't want to tip them off that we're investigating. Because if you, if you see cops digging in your trash and you know you've killed a guy. Yeah. You're like, oh no, I bet they're on to me. If I killed a guy and I've got his body in the trash can, I'm probably going to,

Probably take that to the dump or somewhere else myself. I don't think it's the body that they're looking for. His clothes or something, Ben. Yeah. His phone. I'm thinking like a receipt or something. Yeah, I think it's like to put you, you know, it's like you're, it's probably bank stuff.

No, paperwork, paperwork. Yeah, you shred those. Well, I think people, you know, you make one mistake, they get you. Cam, my in-laws refused to spend money on normal garbage bags. Instead, they would use grocery store plastic bags. Then New Jersey stopped providing bags for customers. Not to worry, my father-in-law started walking through the produce section stealing plastic produce bags to use as garbage bags.

At least this helps to explain why my wife tears. Tears, paper towels, and I have to save money. Evidently, cheapness is hereditary. Hereditary. Is that it? Yeah. Hereditary. That's pretty crazy. Those are the weakest bags I can think of. Yeah. Like the bags you put apples and stuff in. I mean, that's thin. That's like half-ply plastic. I think you're just... Yeah. Trash bags are really not that pricey. It's probably...

I would say a bathroom trash can. Yeah. Where it's something kind of- A small little trash can. A small trash can. Maybe not their big one. Little ones, and they're really not that pricey. I mean, it's like, how often are you throwing that trash out? Well, not everybody's a public figure. Yeah. Well, that's true. So- Public figure's really been taken off. I mean, it's become a big thing now. Yeah. You're out there. People have been calling me public figure out here now. Proving your point. Yes. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah.

We got a lovely town here in Nashville. We heard another siren, if you're wondering. I would imagine they heard it. We do have a lovely town. We have a wonderful town. Grace McKinney, our parakeet Gabby. Don't know if you needed to give us the name. Oh, I guess maybe. Hold on. Our parakeet Gabby flew into a frying pan while my mom was frying bacon.

Gabby lived several years longer and he smelt like bacon until the day he died. He had a little curled up foot he favored on his perch and Gabby, who used to say, I'm Gabby, I'm a good bird, never said another word as long as he lived. Keep up the great words, guys.

That's funny. Wow. We had a bird, I think, that went into a frying pan, too. Really? Maybe don't name your male bird Gabby. Was it a male? It said P. Short for Gabrielle. Yeah, but you don't give a bird a full name and then a nickname, huh? You're probably just going easy, you know, P.

Gabby, like gab, it's got the gift of gab. Maybe there's, you know, as it talks. It's a little talkative little Gabby. It might've named itself. Maybe that's not even his name. He's like, I'm Gabby. Until you let me go into the bacon. Yeah. Yeah. You talked about that one time that you had a bird going to the frying pan. What is it about? Is it the sound you think of frying bacon that they are attracted to or what? What's going on? Maybe they hate their life. How dumb are these birds?

And are you letting your bird loose in the kitchen like this? That's pretty crazy. Yeah, I think they probably just, maybe you're there and then they come land near you. Okay. And then you're just like, and then it just happens quick. He's microwaving insects. That's true. He's acting like he's baffled by this. Our cockatiel never got into the frying pan. You had a cockatiel? For a short time. Do you remember the name?

I don't know if we even named it, but it just would sit by the, it'd go, all the time. I was like, we got it. Sounds like a nightmare. I was like, this is so cool. And then like a couple of days later, we were like, ah, we hate this. You let it loose? I think somebody took it. What'd you, did you get a, put it near the weed eater? See what'll happen. Yeah.

Yeah, we let it fly into the weed eater. I think we just gave it to a guy. We bought it for like 70 bucks. I think it was a big purchase for us. And then we were like, you take it. It's like they would say, the best two days of owning a cockatoo, the day you buy it, the day you sell it. I can attest. Paul M.E. Mueller.

Paul M.E. Mueller. I feel like we've had Paul. I think we have. I think I know Paul. Oh. The best way to make the Olympics interesting is to root for countries' top scores in medals per million citizens.

The United States, with over 330 million people, won 108 medals, but only got a score of .33. However, the Bahamas got two medals, and they only have 393,000, so their score was 5.08. I do a contest where we each pick five countries and see who can get the highest total score. There you go. That's kind of fun. It's impossible for the U.S. to win then, I guess. Yeah. Is the Olympics not interesting? No.

to begin with. I think I'm just saying that America dominates. Last week, Dusty said, yeah, it's hard to get into it because America dominates. So he's saying this is a nice way to even it out. Yeah. Yeah, it's interesting. Yeah, I don't know if they, I mean,

Yeah. I mean, are you pumped for the Olympics this year? Yeah. I mean, I'll watch. Yeah. Summer Olympics are fun. Like, I mean, there'd be there'd be good, you know, track track stuff. I mean, I don't know what stars the basketball team, this basketball team was lost to South Sudan. Yeah.

Not even the regular Sudan. There's not a single indoor basketball court in the country of South Sudan. Is it not like the top players of the NBA on the basketball team? Oh, yeah. It's most of them, yeah. It was exhibition. They just...

Can't get motivated. Yeah. And we won, dude. We won in the end. Yeah. 101 to 100. It's, yeah, it's, I mean, you got that, you got the women's basketball. They, I mean, it would have been must-see TV, to be honest.

If Caitlin Clark was on it, I think that would have been a... I heard that one of the players went on the injured list and that they opened up a new spot for potentially Caitlin Clark to get on the Olympic team. But no word if that's happened yet. Yeah, I don't think it's going. It is pretty wild, though. It would be... Everybody would watch it.

Oh, yeah. If she were on it. Oh, every, yeah, yeah. I've watched a lot of Fever Game. I record them, and I've watched. Yeah. Which if you said five years ago, you said you were doing that, you'd think it's insane. Oh, yeah, it'd be crazy. You would have said the Indiana Who? Yeah, it would be insane. But yeah, it's great. I mean, just out of the pure, I don't, and they've won a gold medal like since 96, because they drop off,

Like the U.S. dominates. Yeah. So they're going to win. I mean, I don't think women are even allowed to play basketball in most countries. I was going to say, yeah, we're one of like four countries where women can play sports. Yeah. It's like we better dominate. Because, yeah, they don't know if Sudan...

is how they're going to get to the game. They can't drive. I don't know anything about Sudan. Sudan's probably, they can drive. It's a beautiful place, I'm sure. I bet it is. Your brother's probably doing mission work there. See, that's worse than what I'm saying. I'm saying it's a beautiful place. You're saying. Adam Rinking. Rinking.

Brian recently started learning to swim as an adult. He admitted it on the podcast. I'm curious, what one skill the rest of you don't have that most people learn as a child? No one. Everybody, we learned it as he was born 50. So...

He just didn't. They didn't have pools back then. Well, you learned reading later in life. I did learn reading. You're actually right. That being said, that is, I'm actually about to start taking a reading online class. Really? Because I don't think I comprehend reading.

I don't, I really, it's, there's this, there's a thing called quick reading. It's, it's about like, it's K W I K. It's like just a class. I don't know if what it is. It's crazy. They don't spell the word correctly. Well, it's the guy's last name. So his last name is quick. And, and so I was going to do, now that I'm off, I was going to do this.

to increase reading slows me down just to, you know, comprehend all that kind of stuff. So I'm thinking I'm going to do that. So that is, and that's probably worse than swimming, to be honest. So that being said, I'm making fun of you. But when you grew up, there were a few remarks. Well, y'all did y'all have two different pools? Yeah.

Or am I wrong? Well, I don't know about that. But when my... Back to the women's basketball. When my sister played, she's five years older than I am. Like in junior high, it was half court. Half the women stayed on defense and half stayed on offense at each court. So there's 10...

I don't know if there was 10 or I guess maybe there was, but women's basketball used to be different where they split it up. This was all women's basketball, not just Lebanon. Pretty sure. Yeah, I don't know. I've never heard this.

What do you mean? I don't understand what you mean. I don't know if there were 10 or not, but instead of just everybody playing offense and defense, half of them play defense and just stay down there and the other half would play offense. And like, if you get a rebound, then you throw it down to your offensive player. Really? Yeah. So it's like two separate games on each side of the court. No need for a lot of running.

Is it too hard for them to run? I don't know the reasoning behind it, but... Was it because they were all pregnant? And they didn't want them. They can't have these women running back and forth. There it goes. I don't know, but I think that was all women's basketball up until something in the 1970s. Wow. Good night.

Where are you from? I never heard that before in my life. Aaron, would you mind looking that up? I'm not saying I know the history of it, but I never heard that.

Maybe it was just a Lebanon thing or maybe it's just something for my sister. Like you just stay down there. I mean, because I remember going to basketball games in the 90s high school when they were, you know, those girls were running up and down the court. Yeah. So six on six basketball or basket is a largely archaic variant of basketball, usually played by women and girls. Same rules as regular basketball, but they have six players each instead of five.

The no three point line. Is this maybe what you. Yeah, that sounds right. The Office of Civil Rights started banning six on six high school girls basketball. Took 37 years to phase it out. So you're on the tail end of this, Brian, I think. Well, that's Lebanon for you. Six on six. I understand why the Office of Civil Rights had to get involved with it.

Yeah, I don't know. Seems like you just decide to make a rule change. You go, you know, we'd like to do this just in the five on five. Yeah. Yeah, I think that was it. I don't know why the civil rights, Office of Civil Rights got involved with this. I think Adam Rain King had a comment last week. I think so, too. I remember the name. Well, he's got good comments. I don't know what to say. But yeah, I don't know of any skill.

That most people learn that I can't whistle. I can't whistle either. Yeah. But I don't know if that's a skill. I think so. I think everybody learns to whistle. Yeah. See, I can't. I wish I could go like. Yeah. Can you whistle on key? Like whistle a song? I don't know songs, but. If he knew a song, he would. What's Andy Griffith's?

Yeah. Yeah. So now you were doing it. Yeah. I'm not talking about you. I had two totally different songs. What was I saying? You were doing Mayberry RFD or something. Cause that was, yeah, you're doing when it was in color. Yeah.

The Andy Griffith Show, starring Andy Griffith. Ron Howard. With Don Knotts. Don Knotts. Also starring Ron Howard. Aaron, do you have the email for this next one? Ronnie Howard. I do have the email for the next one. So no one has any other, you learned everything, I guess. I got to tie my shoes later than most people. Really? Took me a while to tie my shoes. And I still do it differently than most people.

I do. I make bunny ears with both of them and then tie it. Yeah. Okay. But other than that, pretty advanced. Yeah. You know, learn most stuff. I do have a swimming. No, I don't have the Wi-Fi in here. I was going to send you a little short video of me trying to practice swimming. I think we get it. All right.

I think we all, everybody just flailing. Well, in the video, a little kid passes me, so it's kind of funny. Yeah. But you could...

Yeah. So you're racing kids now in lessons? No, this was just my instructor wanted to show me what I was doing wrong. And in the video, you see a kid in another lane just kind of bypassing. Do you feel like you have an instinct for it? Do you feel like there's any kind of natural, you just kind of get, you're in the water, you get it? You should let me teach you how to swim. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Patreon extra. What did he say was wrong with you? That you're too old to not know how to swim? Yeah.

Well, it's a she and yeah, that is my biggest problem. My mom can't swim. And she took swimming lessons when I was a kid, probably not, not even making a joke, probably your age now. And it was, she couldn't do it. Yeah. It was too, she was too afraid of the water at that point. And anytime she would have like a, you know, like she tried to, like she was learning pretty good and then she kind of slipped on the side and she got off balance in the water and couldn't, couldn't get it. And they had to like dive in and catch her and.

But you're now, if you got pushed in the pool, you can get out.

If I'm right beside the wall. Yeah. I can swim. I mean, I'm still, it's not coming naturally. It's a lot like his mom. We're not supposed to be in water. So I'll give you that. Yeah. You know, it's a struggle. You wouldn't know that if you saw me in the water though. You would think. We are built for the water, man. That's what I'm, I'm water. Yeah. You guys. We can go to race. It's Olympic time. You guys need to. We're going to do it. Yeah. I'm just going to swim.

Freestyle. I'm very fast. You mean like this? Yeah. Yeah. All right. I'm very fast. I mean, I'm pretty fast. I mean, you just had to clarify what freestyle meant. I don't trust your ability. I'm not saying I. Freestyle. You talking about this one? Yeah. I mean, that doesn't mean that I can't swim fast. I don't know what it's called. I think so. I think it does. I don't think so. Yeah. It tells me you spent no time in a pool. This is where the Notre Dame gets in the way. You don't understand that we just learned to swim. We didn't know what it was called. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

You're talking about, okay. All right. I mean, you're too worried about the labels and the names of things. That's like going, I'm so fast, dude. Do you sprint? Are you talking like, were you really trying? It's like, yeah, that's what a sprint is. Yeah, exactly. That's exactly like that. But you still could be fast without knowing that. Like Forrest Gump. Yeah.

Yeah, Forrest Gump wasn't like, I'm sprinting. Yeah, he's a fictional character, too. Well, he also has some serious mental issues. Yeah, Forrest Gump had an IQ of 68. He seemed fine to me. Dusty's just finding out. 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. No one's got a ride like this.

Matty Matka. Matku. Why? Matika? Matika. I like that. Matt Matika. Matt Matika. I like that. I spotted this outside of McDonald's here in Northern Illinois. Had to get a Big Mac with extra sauce in his honor after seeing it. Stand-up comedy 101.

What is it? The camera's on. Oh, yeah. It's a shout-out on Joe Rogan from former student Nate Bargetze. Just hosted SNL. ComedyCollegeInfo.com. Yeah, yeah. Jim Roth. Seven-week course. Yep. He's getting the word out there. He is. I took... Yeah, I took three... I thought they were eight weeks when I did it. Maybe seven weeks. I did three of them. So, yeah. It was great. I still... I mean, I still...

See Jim, and then I see my buddy Steve Berger, who was in the class with me. So, yeah, I took it. I think comedy classes are great. He could use a graphic designer. That's true. Yeah. I thought that looked great. He gets the information across. There's no way he thought that looked good. No, but it's the good information. I didn't think it looked that bad. Yeah.

Everything's a different font. Takata makes no sense. See, I would do that just because, like, look at all these different fonts I can do. You try to just flex that you know how to change the font. Yeah, exactly. I am. The old smiley face from Walmart is graduating here. I can do different colors. Yeah, it's a roll back the prices. Yeah, that's what it looks like. Yeah.

But it gets the, it's the, you get the message across. Yeah. He does have a lot of information on there. Yeah. All the information, QR code, QR code. That's your QR codes up there. Yeah. You're right. Yeah. And then boom, zip tie right in the middle like that. Yeah. Go take a class. Comedy classes are a lot of comics. Don't,

Some people are against them. I liked them. Just because you just, it's at least some direction. So you at least have something to go do that's going to make you, because you sign up for something and then you just keep going. Clay-Zi-Bly. Clay-Zi-Bly. Clay-Zi-Bly. Nate, can we get an update on your neighbor, Felix? Does he exist? Because we don't believe he does.

Who? Yeah. There's a running joke with Felix. We'd always talk about him, but we never would. You know, no one ever saw him. Uh, yes. Felix is, he's around. I, Felix, if, uh, is the, is now the CEO of the Nate land company.

So Felix is coming in. No, it's just great that he started as the sort of mythical name being thrown around on the podcast four years ago. And now you're like, he is CEO of the entire operation. That's a big update. It's what a rise. Yeah. It is a big update. Clazy Bly really...

came in hot with it. That's almost like Felix's special name. He's like, why don't you go ahead and let them know what I'm up to. I know. That's what I, that's what it feels like. Yes, Felix. Well, you mentioned him earlier in this podcast about Felix helped get this together. Oh, yes.

Yes. Yeah, Felix. Yeah, the Nate Land Company is a real, it's becoming a real thing. Yeah, man. Yeah. Adrian Coulson here. He's doing all the podcasts up in the podcast network and running all that stuff. We're at, we're trying to, we're making a push to be a legit real thing.

So we have a CEO hired. Yeah, I'll have all, I guess, more information. Yeah, so Zany's email went out today about some new shows. We're doing Nateland Showcase here every Tuesday once a month. I think the first one's like August 6th.

So, yeah, we're going to do that at the lab and just have... It's all booked. It's not... I don't know if...

we might be popping in on some, but there's, you never know. I don't, I don't know if when anybody's home or whatever. So, but, uh, yeah, we're making a Nate land is, you know, we're really giving it a go and, uh, trying to have a place for, you know, comedy and,

It's very exciting, dude. It is. It's very exciting. I think I'll give a whole more... There'll be more stuff. I got a lot of stuff working on that I think will be some big announcements for...

I just need them to, they just need to be done. We just hired the Bigfoot expert as CFO. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I keep it, you know, it's all people have been around. In the family. Yeah. I keep it. Yeah. No one's, everybody's kind of around.

uh felix is extremely qualified sure and uh so it was fortunate that it it worked out the way it did and i'm pumped about it and yeah we have some fun stuff uh i think i have some fun stuff to announce you know i don't know when but it will be all before the end of this uh this year

Ethan Holsey. Brian's default way to end every episode is to ask everyone to just name random movies about the episode topic. That is true. That's what I can tell. It's winding down. Like last week, he hasn't done any movies about trash. I do trash and songs. That's right. Songs. Songs about it. And I'm going to keep doing it. All right. What's a movie about trash? There's a movie about trash.

There's a movie called Garbage with Martin Sheen, I think. It's just about garbage. Okay. Really? Because his two sons was the only movie I named. I mean, it worked, which was Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen. No. I mean, I can't believe I forgot that last week. But yeah, I own the movie on Blu-ray, I think. It's called Garbage. Toxic Avenger. That's cool, man. And apparently there was a Disney Channel kids movie, Aaron, that everyone thought you should know.

Tony Danza is a football kicker, the garbage man. I don't know. I have no idea. Hey, I don't know. We didn't do this at the beginning. And I don't know. Maybe you guys did it some other time. But I just wanted to say I was in Richmond this last weekend at the Richmond Funny Bone. We did do that some other time. Yeah, and it was great. On our own, we talked about it. Yeah.

Had a really hot, it was a hot weekend. I got this hat from a guy in Richmond. Loved it. Friday opened for Alabama and Gary Allen at the Bridgestone Arena. How was that? Very fun. Yeah. And I feel like you had a big pop when you walked out. Yeah, it was good. Yeah. You were there? No.

I'm saying, did you feel like it felt nice? Yeah, it felt good. Yeah, it felt good. Felt like they, everybody, you were on the posters, so everybody knew. Yeah. They knew there was going to be comedy. They knew there was going to be comedy. Yeah. Yeah. How long was your set? 15 minutes. 15. And yeah, you know, and it's like sometimes 15 is tough because you're like,

You see the timer and you're like, oh, I could do this bit, but I really don't have time to do this bit. So what smaller bits do I have? But it worked out. It was great. A lot of fun. And you're a real settle in and get to know them kind of guy. Yeah. So 15, they could be just coming around. That's true. Yeah. But Richmond, I did three shows, two sold out, and we added a show on Sunday. It was close to a sellout, but it was great. Amazing. Really fun weekend. My friend Derek Humphrey did it with me. Yeah. Really fun. Yeah.

Yeah, I did the American Century Championship, played golf, met a lot of hay bears. Yeah? Yeah, pretty cool. Like, it's, yeah, I got a ton of hay bear out there, like, and playing in that was great. Shot a 79 the first day, played unbelievable. That's great. First day was great. Next two days were pretty rough.

What do you think happened? You think the pressure of doing really well got to you? I think maybe a little bit. You got to put everything in, so it's a real legit thing. My goal was to get to 10 points. Last year, I was at six. I was like, I want to double digits. I was like, well, hopefully I can get to 10. Then I did finish at 10 points. Something I think I've learned is I got to 10 points pretty quickly.

And it's like almost setting a goal. If your goal is too achievable,

Because then I think that's what happened. I lost interest in the rest of the... Because you'd already... Because I already... And it was like, you know, the next day I was like, all right, well, tomorrow I'm going to get to 20. But I don't think I care about... I didn't care about that as much as I did care about the double digits. So then you get to 10. So then it was really just a battle. I got up to 14 points because it's Stableford, so it scored a different way. But I got to 14 points and I would go back down to eight. Then I ended up at... I needed...

If you get a bogey, it's zero points. And I had a bogey. Who'd you play with? First, there was Mike Golick and Rob Riggle. Oh, I like those guys. Yeah, great. And then Larry Fitzgerald Jr. and Robbie Gold. Okay. I know those names, but I don't know those guys. I don't know any of them. Jason Wirth, baseball player. Nationals player for Phillies, long hair. Yeah. He hit the ball on...

The last hole we played, I mean, 360. Wow. I mean, dude. Those baseball guys can get crushed. They just, he's big too. And so he, he was the, he's awesome, dude. He's, he's a super fun dude. Long, I mean, the best. Looks like a guy that owns a couple of above ground pools. Yeah.

This is not his hair. Right there, he doesn't. But the way he looks now, I would describe Jason as like, you go back to, you got more above ground pulls than I thought. And you could be like, why do you not just do one in the ground? Because that's ridiculous. Yeah, you might want to break it down. That's the dusty look there. Yeah, I do three above ground. Now, his crazy thing is his horse. His horse won the Belmont or Preakness.

uh, he's into horse racing now and, and won it, which is insane. And there you, there's, there's video of, he showed us, he was rock here. Yeah. He, well, he showed us like the video. He was so much fun. He's a very, very fun person and, uh, super nice. And just, uh, yeah, but I mean, yeah, he got into this horse racing. I mean, dude, to get a horse and to have it win, uh,

I think it was the Preakness is pretty crazy. It is crazy. Yeah. I did audience warm-up for Huckabee this weekend, as I do from time to time. And I get done with the warm-up, and I go upstairs to the green room, and there's two guys sitting there at the table, and one of them is Cuba Gooding Jr.,

And, you know, usually whoever the big star is or whatever, they kind of stay at their own dressing room. But he's just hanging out. He compliments me on my set. He's not with some entourage, not even looking at his phone, just kind of hanging out. So I said, if you wouldn't mind, after the show, if I could get a photo. He said, just go ahead and do it now. I said, okay. So the other guy's there. The other guy says, do you want me to take the photo? And Cuba says, no, let's just do a selfie. That'll be fun. He was a very nice guy.

And it was super cool. I felt a little bad because the other guy who I didn't realize at the time was Kevin Sorbo, who's had a pretty great acting career of himself. That's Hercules. Yeah. I actually know him. You do? Yeah. My dad knows him. I saw him not too long ago. You could have talked to him for a very long time.

Well, I did. I just didn't know who he was. Oh, yeah. So he's in the room, all his pictures being taken? Yeah. He offered to take it. I didn't. I mean, we didn't take him up on it, but that's just. But anyway. Yeah. Cuba Good. He knew. He was like, I'm not going to let Kevin Sorbo take the picture. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was being nice about it. He's like, this Brian guy's in here being rude to Kevin. Yeah. And I'm not going to. Yeah. I saw. Yeah. I feel like we saw Kevin. We met. I forget where we met. It might have been like a.

Michael Finney, like something, something, something we were doing. But then, yeah, he's a great, great guy. And his family's great. That is funny. Yeah. Well, how do you say his name? Yeah.

Kevin Sorbo? No, the other guy. Cuba Gooding Jr.? Yeah. Cuba? Yeah. It's Cuba. Oh. Cuba's what I always said, but I didn't know. I don't know which one's right. I've never heard Cuba Gooding Jr. I've never heard. You're right. Lightning Jack. You go Scuba Dogging? Wait. Scuba. Scuba Dogging? Scuba Dogging? Scuba. I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. Well, you're saying it quickly, so it's tough. Yeah.

I remember Lightning Jack with Paul Hogan. Paul Hogan and Cuba Gooding Jr. And Bad Boy D'Angelo. Great movie. Yep, he's been in a ton of stuff. Yeah. All right, we'll do that. Big time. Yep. Moving on up. Mm-hmm. Yeah. What else did I say? Oh, I was at... I don't know. Shout out to Pablo Osler... Man. Pablo Bull...

Pablo Escobar. No, where I was. Pablo Robles. Robles. Robles. Robles. Pablo Robles. It was their fair. I thought we were losing you for a minute. Yeah. I think I got it. Are you okay? Yeah. The Cuba. The Tana bet's getting to you. So I was there. They have a great fair.

We were there at the Great Outdoors Festival. London, Ontario, it got flooded. Sorry, I did not make it out to that one. They canceled our show. They had really bad rain and flooded. But did Bismarck, North Dakota, awesome. And was in Winnipeg in wonderful times. So, yeah. All right. That's awesome, man.

Real quick, I was in Cincinnati Commonwealth Sanctuary. I had never been to this place. It's like an old church that they converted into a comedy club. So it's pretty cool. Stained glass windows. There's an organ in there they let me play. I had to play a church organ. Wow. I kind of overstayed my welcome on it. I think they thought, you know, yeah, you can dabble around on it. I sat there for like an hour playing. Yeah. It was awesome. During your show? Is that how you get to an hour? Jeez, dude. That's crazy.

No. It was between shows. Oh, while people were coming in. No, no, no. Just like there's a gap between shows. I exaggerate with an hour. Yeah, yeah. Did five shows. They were great. All of them, but one were pretty dang full, dude. Yeah. That's great. It was an awesome week. What happened with that one? What? Late show Friday, man. Yeah. Late show Friday. Those are tough. None of them were bad, though.

So yeah, it was just, just a little lighter than the rest of them. When that happens, I like to let them know. I go, Hey, the other shows are sold out. Just so you know, like, I'm like, I'm not upset with you that this one's not, but I want you to know that I am selling tickets.

I think I said that at one point and they laughed. Yeah. No, they were thinking like, well, obviously the other ones, I can't be. I just want you to know you've not come to a bad show. I don't know what happened here, but it's going to be good. People do buy tickets to the show. This particular one, they didn't buy a lot. Y'all didn't make a mistake. Yeah. They did. Yeah. By not buying tickets. Yeah. You lecture them.

I just want them to know that they're in the right place. I want them to really regret that they showed up. Well, that's what I'm saying, though. I'm not mad at them. Of course. But I want them to know they have made a good decision. Yeah. But yeah, it was a good weekend. Cincinnati. Aaron, why don't you tell us about game time? I had a guy do... Never mind. We'll talk later. Game time.

Today, I thought with the new set, it'd be a great time to talk about change. Mm-hmm.

Of the four of us, which one do you think does the best with change and the worst? I don't think I do the best. I like change. I love change. We change a lot. I'd rather have a dollar. You know what I mean? That's a joke from your first album, dude. I didn't hear what you said. I said I'd rather have a dollar. You know what I mean? What was the joke? You said, I like change. I said I'd rather have a dollar. Yeah.

And that was your, how'd you tell it? Well, it's a long, it's closed on it. Oh, no, no. It's a long, it's a long bit. It's about the letter C. And he said, C makes words like jump, jump, change and change. I'd rather have a dollar. Yeah. I haven't heard that in like, yeah, dude, that's because your album comes on every time I turn on my car. Yeah.

And I can't get it to stop. Yeah. So I've heard that. I've had that happen. I had it. It was his album. I have his album. As it should be. Yeah. It would, every time I turned on my car. Yeah. It would, that would come on. Imagine pulling up, seeing Nate at a stoplight and he's listening to Brian's album in the car by himself. I mean, all the time. Him or it'll be Vecchione some.

But you were. I could not. I just dealt with it. I just heard you every day. Just listening. That's very funny. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like you've had the most. I mean, think about how much your life's changed, Brian, since in the last five. I mean, you're a single guy until you're 48. Right now you're married with a two-year-old daughter. That's a lot of change.

Right. And it happened pretty quickly. Yep. After I'd say you had a bit of a routine by age 48. Now it's just all in shambles. So that's pretty drastic. Shambles. Yeah. Yeah. Well, no, no. I mean, all your routines. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. I think we're probably all do pretty well with change. I think. I mean, we, you know, we got. Yeah. I love. Laura does not like change.

I don't think I like change. Yeah, I don't think you do. You think you need a little resistance to it, though. You need somebody in your life going, we got to conserve some stuff. Yeah, I love change. But if you had nobody pushing that back, it'd be a nightmare. No, it's good. Yes, it's good. But I mean, I think that's what I love so much about this job is because it changes everything.

I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. Like, and that's like the most fun. And so it's always something, you know, it's like, it's very exciting. So I like, I, yeah, I like change. I mean, not saying I want to be moving all the time or stuff like that, but we did a lot of change. You know, my parents would, uh, we'd come home and like the,

living room or the kitchen or the dining room area would be their new bedroom and then the then the where the dining room was or something would be you know one house we had two bedroom or it was a two bedroom house so and I think it was a dining room and then

Yeah. So they would switch. Like where our kitchen table was, was just my parents' bedroom for a little while. Or we'd come home and the couches would be moved. Just for the sake of switching it up. Yeah. Yes. For feng shui. Yeah.

Yeah. I looked it up. Feng shui. Is that what it is? I thought you were making a joke. No, I'm serious. I've never heard that term. Feng shui? Or whatever it was. Feng shui. Do you know that? Yeah. I don't know if I know what to say. I totally thought you were making a joke. No, I was serious. It's a...

It's the Chinese practice that use energy forces to harmonize individuals with the surrounding environment. Yeah, it's just about having a good flow and a good feel to the room. You practice it, right? Don't simplify the science. There's a lot that goes into it, I'm sure. You think you could feng shui a room? Yeah, I think so. Could you feng shui one? Based on what? Just...

- Yeah, just the feel, how good does it feel in here? - Well, there are feng shui, I think these businesses can hire people to come in and just feng shui up the office, dude. - I think they did it- - That's just peak capitalism. - I know, it's great. Everybody wins. That's capitalism. - I'm with it. - Nobody loses ever. - I think there was something too with not having your, I want to say some houses, the steps, your steps not being where the door is or something,

Uh, golly, what was it? It was, it was like, so if you open the door, it would jump toward the steps. No, it's like they, uh, man, it was something. I don't know where I knew it.

But it was like, I thought the steps couldn't be in line with the door. So if you open the door, you didn't want your steps to be like, you see steps right there. On purpose. Yeah, and I want to say it maybe breaks it up. It's about, that's why an open house is, so when it comes in, it's more open and blah, blah, and all that stuff. The stuff with the bed too, like you want your head to lay in a certain direction. I don't know that, but it's like just something with the magnetic pull.

on a tour bus. Is this it? How staircase facing the door affects your feng shui? Yeah. There you go. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, you're right. If there's a staircase very close to the front door, it can have a significant impact on the energy throughout the home. Wow. A staircase that is directly opposite, in line with, and facing the front door creates a challenging feng shui layout because it allows energy to flow quickly in and out of the front door. Mm-hmm. I got a stairway that faces the front door. Oh, yeah. I don't like that now. Oh, wow. Yeah. You got bad shui. I can't believe you subscribed to this, Dusty. Yeah.

this religion. Well, I don't, you know, I do believe that, you know, there's a, there's an energy about, you know, some stuff and we need to, that's why I think nature's good. Plants are good in the house. It gives some life to it. You know, there's so much negativity out here.

A lot of people think I'm negative, but I'm just out here trying to bring life. How about this? There are some solutions. You can place a mirror at the top of the stairs facing the front door to create a feeling of expansiveness. How about that? Or place a rug at the base of the stairs to slow down the bad energy and ground the area. Well, that's a little too much for me, I think. What about the mirror, though? You put the mirror at the top?

How is a rug more than a mirror? No, no. I mean, I guess I'm – well, the mirror, the idea is that it does create some openness, and I can see that. But the rug – Slowing it down. Slowing energy down is where it loses me. Well, it depends on how big the rug is. Yeah. Or how thick it is, right? That's true. It's a shag rug. It's a real thick rug. Yeah.

Yeah. I like it, though. I mean, I got into... I probably got into a little Eastern religion at some point in my life. Well, I know I did. I got into... So there's some stuff still hanging around that I just find is funny. Probably when you're re-coordinated. Yeah. It's just peaceful. I like a peaceful environment. Some soft music. Some plants. I think that's fun to me. You get a lot of scents going through the house, too, right? Don't you like scents? I do, but it's like you can't just go about buying scents now. You have to...

It has to be essential oils and stuff. All the candles are bad. All the fragrances are bad. It's all messing with your endocrine system. It's shutting you down. It's all messing you up. Yeah. What is? Scents. I'd rather have a dollar. Boom.

Well, scientists say our brain has evolved to resist change as a threat because it triggers fear, fight or flight. And our brain has trained ourself to be habit forming because then we don't have to be thinking about every little move and we can focus on some wild animal coming to attack us. Oh, that makes perfect sense to me. Are we all in agreement on that? I don't buy it.

That your brain wants to just have some routine. Well, yeah, but I, you know, maybe we're just hardwired that way. I don't think we've evolved to be like that. We may just be hardwired to want a routine. Yeah. We may just be hardwired with all the natural instincts that encourage procreation and yeah. So there you go. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

Cantor's Law. Say truth with sarcastic. No, I'm saying, yeah, you're right. Can't trust this guy. Cantor's Law says change is hardest in the middle. Everyone loves inspiring beginnings.

and happy endings, but the middle is where it involves the hard work. Who said this? Cantor. Who's that? Just some woman. I do agree with that, though. Yeah. Well, that's the idea. You always got to be uncomfortable. Uh-huh. Yeah. Anytime you start feeling comfortable, it's time to make a change. Yeah. And that's the idea of that. And the middle part is just the hard work. So that's the part that...

stops everybody from making it to whatever their whatever usually their potential could get to yeah there's not really a beginning or an end i mean only the middle exists oh yeah the beginning is uh are like all right i'm gonna do the beginnings of fun talking and the ending is like i can see that it happened but the middle is that's where it's like the beginning is like this the ending is like this the middle is the whole thing the middle is the whole thing

And you got to love the middle. And that's the hard part. And we were talking about that with comedy this weekend, I think. It's the idea of I got to come up with a new hour. And it's like you got to love the idea of you're like, I don't know how I'm going to do another hour. And it's like you got to love it. I'm starting working out tomorrow. So I've been a mess. We've talked about it on here.

And so tomorrow I've got to start a whole trying to. So are you like going off today? Is that the goal? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. This weekend. Your last meal. Donuts this morning. Oh, yeah. Just had two Whopper juniors. No onion, no tomato. Yeah.

I think I'll do McDonald's on the way home, maybe. Why not? Then I'll do Dairy Queen or Sonic or something. Might do pizza because I had the Whopper Juniors. The Holy Trinity. Wild. Donuts, Burger King, and McDonald's all in one day. Oh, yeah. That's incredible. I have a major problem.

And, uh, so it's, uh, but you know, I gotta get fit to be able to handle the road and all this stuff. And, uh, you know, I want to be more, I want to look good. Like you want to, you need to just feel more confident. Yeah. Uh, so yeah, it starts, mine does start tomorrow. I'm the, I love starting tomorrow. Yeah. But, uh,

Tomorrow's the best, dude. Tomorrow's the best. Because it justifies anything you do today. You're like, well, tonight, this will be the last thing. I'm just going to go in, and tomorrow I'm going to wake up at 6 a.m., run, and then you wake up at 10, and then you come to the spot. I got to wake up at 9. Yeah, I got to get up at 9.30 a.m. and start training. And then the eating is going to be the – I'm eating the same thing every day. You got to change. What is it? Eggs, chicken, and steak.

Which I know there might be... I'm down with that diet. It's not like I'm trying to live in this forever. No one has to write in and be like, well, that's not good for you. I don't need that stuff right now. Actually, I just need to do it. Let me just try it. You know, I think that's what happens when people try to change... When people do...

Try to tell someone to do a diet, then they go, I don't know if you should do that. And then you're like, well, that's enough of a reason. All I do, I'm an addict to this food. So if you give me any window of a person saying, well, I don't think you need to go do that. Then you go, well, I don't know how to have balance. So I go, well, then I'm going to just do whatever I want. Sure. And they love to demonize meat, but meat's great.

I'm all about it. Eggs, chicken. Is eggs meat? Well, it's a meat product. I wouldn't... Don't get into the pork, but the rest of the stuff, that's where it's at. Or have whatever meat you want. Fish? Some trout? I'm not doing a lot of choices. The second you start giving me what do you want to do, it's not...

I mean, I'm having it like... Was there any talk about disassociating eating food with pleasure in any way where you can't think like, not every meal should be good? Well, yeah, yeah. In my head right now, I'm trying to think the meal doesn't matter. Yeah. It's a means to an end. It's nutrition. Eat to live, not live to eat. Yeah, yeah. Pray love. It's hard when there's no...

Celebration. You don't know. But I've been trying to, the mindset of thinking, it's like when you go on vacation and you're like, oh, you go on vacation, you eat whatever you want and you actually enjoy your vacation. You look forward to your vacation. Where if I'm eating like I'm on vacation every day, which I do, then when you go to vacation, it's like,

Who cares? I'm eating the same food I would be eating, but I'm eating it in Florida. And so if I can get it to where I can balance that out to be like when I'm at home, it's like a real job. I'm trying to make everything a little bit more with all the stuff we have going on with the Nate Land and all the other stuff. I have a lot of other stuff going. There's a lot of stuff to do. I can't get behind. And so I got to get a lot more

I got to get a lot more focused or I won't get to where I want to get. It's the same thing when I stopped drinking. When I stopped drinking, I was at least new to

I won't get to where I want to get if this is in the way. And food has been in the way for everything. The food is so hard because you got to eat. Yeah. And we're on the road and we're doing all this stuff. And it's, you know. And it's so good. Yeah. The road is crazy. I was at a fair. They had a bucket. Some elephant ears or something? No. I had a bucket of cinnamon rolls. Okay.

Well, that's not far off from an elephant. What's an elephant? It's like a funnel cake type thing. Oh, not a bucket of cinnamon rolls. And it was, I mean, in a bucket, dude, and they had so much icing on the top of it. It was, you couldn't even see the roll. That's why I think it's good to tap into what I try to tap into, right? It's like, if, if,

You just start, all these things are bad. They're all evil. You look at the cinnamon roll in the case and you go, there's no nutritional value in this. There's no food whatsoever. It's poison. They're trying to kill me with this. I think it helps me because I looked at a cinnamon roll today and I go, I should get that.

And then I just chose not to eat. Well, then why do you think your body looks like it does? Well, sorry. I'm sorry. That was very mean. I don't think my body looks bad. No, it doesn't. It doesn't. It would have been way funnier if it did. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I've always had like a stunt. Even when I was like...

doing things that were making me very skinny i've always had a stomach and uh my sister uh is probably you probably can't make these jokes now but she used to call me say i look like an ethiopian you know because when we were kids they would have all these commercials for raising money for these kids and they would be very sick the distended bellies yeah and they would have they would be very skinny and have big stomachs and that's how my sister would make fun of me as a kid yeah so

So you feel good about that, Jack? You just made some... I mean, it worked out. But I'm saying that helps me to think of it that way, to think of these things this way. Yeah, you look great.

I feel fine about the way I look. I don't, you know. Yeah. Now you're taking shirt off. Yeah. You love it. I got a good out. He gets naked in a tanning suit. I got a good outside shirt off body. Yeah. If I take my shirt off inside, it feels inappropriate. It's a little weird. Yeah. It feels good. Great. Like near a body of water. Yeah. Like it's. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm not going to be winning any, you know, bodybuilding competition. But I will beat Brian in a swimming competition. Well, that's for sure. Yeah, that is for sure. The average American changes addresses 11.4 times in their life. Oh, that's so much more than I thought.

11.4 times. When you start thinking about your own address changes, though, it's a lot. I've moved so many times. I think I've had seven. Even I, when I'm the oldest. Even as a kid? Yeah, including the kid. I live in the same, yeah. I mean, I've never lived not 45 minutes from, or at least an hour from where I grew up. Including school?

Yeah, I went to Murfreesboro. Where'd you think I went to college? I didn't know how far Murfreesboro is from Atlanta. Same thing. It's all- 30 minutes. It's all- Yeah. 840 was a big deal for him. 840 was not there when he came along much later. I moved 17 times. You just counted it in your head? Oh my gosh. I counted up for me. I've moved, not counting multiple dorms in college, eight times.

below the national average. Yeah, but with those dorms, different addresses. I mean, I had to actually move. So you changed addresses. Yeah, I just felt like that was cheating. It counts though. Yeah. Well, then I think I 11 times. Yeah. Yeah. I'm probably around 11, 12. Yeah. Somewhere there. 11 to 15 times. Yeah.

And you say you don't think you're done yet? But you've done it and it's never been within an hour outside of your house. From where I grew up, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What would it take for you to move? Would you ever just pack up and move to Oregon? It would take something worthy to move there. Yeah. Like what?

What can we offer you? Headquarters. Moose to Portland. Yeah. Moose to Portland. Yeah. What could you offer me? Are you trying to get rid of me? Get out of the race. The way he's asking you, he's like, yeah, what would it take? Yeah, what would it take? I don't know, but I thought that was interesting. Yeah, it is. How often should you change your toothbrush?

Five years. It's supposed to change every three to four months. But that depends on how often you're brushing your teeth. Yeah. I don't brush my teeth. I think they're assuming twice a day, right? With that stat? Three to four months? That feels high. Twice a day? In the morning, right before you go to bed? And then it's like, you know, maybe a third time, something crazy happens? Two or three times a week, max, I think. To brush your teeth? Stop, dude. I'm kidding.

Maybe to wash your hands, but not. No, wash your hands. Only if other people are present in the public restroom. Yeah. That's when you wash your hands. You take showers with your hands out. Yeah. Hold them up. Keep them up. Men change their hairstyles three times in their adult lives on average. I've changed mine, I think, more than that. Yeah. Adult lives. Oh, yeah, I've definitely changed more than three, but. Uh-huh.

Women in their entire life change 150. Wow. 150? No way. According to the survey. It's by hair salon, but... Yeah, there's no way. Who counts that? They count... They change color, cut, or shape. So, any little slight change that we don't even notice... Cut? 150? The Lauren, 150? Maybe? Wow. But is it like a little bit? So, it's like if it's a tiny bit, that counts? Yeah. Yeah, it's like the annoying when...

Yeah, if your wife's like, can you tell my hair is different? You're like, it's not different. I know it's different to you. Four times a year in 25 years, that would be, well, I'd say it'd be, that'd be a hundred. So I don't know how to get to the other 50, but. Do it 10 more years. Yeah. There you go. Some companies that changed for the good or bad. I can't find the bad right now. That was the more fun one. Well, Coke to New Coke. I remember that one. No, they changed back.

Well, yeah. Yeah. But they changed. YouTube was originally a dating site. Really? Was it called YouTube? No, I cannot find. It's called eHarmony. Brian was the original member of eHarmony. That's right. Yeah. Brian. You're a beta tester for eHarmony. Yeah, I was.

I cannot remember what it was called now. Dunkin' Donuts recently changed to just Dunkin'. Because they're not really... You said we're just moving on with the YouTube thing. Well, I mean, I don't have the laptop and I... Well, I thought, I mean, you got all the information. I don't have it. Dunkin' Donuts to me is a real disappointing place. And there's one opening across the street here and I'm so sad about it because I wish we were getting something better. Yeah, that's just... We do not...

Yeah, down here, we're not Dunkin' Donuts. Yeah, it's like, give us a Tim Hortons. That's what we need. The Canadian chain down here. Get some Timbits. Keep Canada out. Dunkin'. Initially, YouTube was designed to be a dating site. Launched in 2005. It was founded by former PayPal employees. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The motto, the slogan was tune in, hook up. It was a video dating website.

The idea was for people to upload introductory videos of themselves describing what they're looking for in a partner. And then it just didn't take off. Five days from its release, no video of it uploaded on the platform. So it wasn't a very successful platform.

You want me to just go into this? Well, I was going to throw it to you, but I wanted you to be prepared. Okay. Usually you have to rifle through your papers. Oh, no, I'm ready. All right.

Really? I don't know, but he drove the 40. Yeah. Chipotle. King of racing. Chipotle recently reinvented themselves with the Chipotle lanes. That's so dumb. I don't even know what that is. What is Chipotle lanes? I mean, I was looking at you, Aaron. Just tell us about it. Come on, Brian. Come on. I guess during COVID when they started adding fast food lanes for the first time to Chipotle. You mean a drive-thru lane?

What did I say? Fast food line? Yeah, I guess the drive-thru lane would be... This is... Okay. Oh, Chipotle lines. Yeah. So you can go... You can get it through a drive-thru now? At a lot of their stores. Just launched its 501. I've never seen... I've never seen that. I've never seen it either. The Panda Express is almost everywhere now. They have the drive-thru. Man, Panda Express...

Used to not have onions in there. Fried rice. And then they put them in and that kind of checked me out. You just wrote off the whole company after that? You can't get those onions out of there. I think I went in there and said no onions and it's already in there. Maybe that's God telling you to get white rice, dude. But the fried rice is, I mean, I would go there. I could go there every day and eat, but they put those onions in there. Yeah.

But not anymore. It's a good thing the onions are in there because now you're eating eggs, chicken, and steak. Yeah. No onions. Onions are vegetables. But I'm saying he doesn't need to be eating the rice. He's eating eggs, chicken, and steak. No choices. You know what I did at Chipotle the other day? You're trying to order at Chipotle without

motioning towards or pointing at any of the things you order? I probably, no, I don't want to bog down these people's time with my games, but go ahead. Tell us how you did it. This doesn't take anybody. This is what the elite does. You ever mess with a poor? So here's what I do. I go in,

I use my nose and I order my nose and my eyes. And then, uh, yeah. And then I don't tip them and I leave and get my Mercedes and drive to my gated community that I've lived in the same home for a hundred years. I've never left. No, no, no, no, no. I just don't point at it. They say, what do you want? Cause I noticed everybody points at,

It's the instinct is to point at it or motion to it with your, so I put my hands behind my back. I'm like you on stage.

And I just walk through and I say what I want without motioning towards it. And it's a fun little exercise. I actually feel it's more humanizing to do that. Are they good with it? Than just to walk up and just tap the glass. The chicken right here. The chicken, buddy. You watch people, they go do that. Some people, I see people on the phone not even say it. They just point. They're on the phone talking and they just degrade these people. I wouldn't do. Yeah, yeah. I agree with that. Look, making fun of you about that because it was –

you know, it's a comedy show. Of course. I'm not mad about it. Yeah. I mean, you know, God forbid someone jump in with some comedy and, uh, no, but I, you know what? Weird though. Uh, practicing stuff like that in those situations is, is actually, I think a great thing. Like if you, like when you want to learn, if someone's learned something, you can do,

It is like if you want to be realized like, oh, I do point a lot and that's not I shouldn't. So sometimes I try to not point or say it. I just walk through and I try to connect. You just stare at them and they go, I have a feeling I know what you want. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. This guy. Yeah. This guy doesn't want pork. You do it. You pick. Yeah. Because you want it just in the bag. You go. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just put it in the bag. Yeah.

But I think I saw a meme or something from the point of view of a Chipotle employee expressing how annoyed they were that people point and kind of... So I go, I'm just going to try to just do the exact... Look, it's a balance of... It's probably a balance of both sides. Like, no one should be doing that pointing. But then again, I can't be going in Chipotle worried about everybody's emotions in the building. I know. You know what I mean? But it's like, I feel like there's a...

This kind of world, there's this weird kind of thing now that's like, well, you got to treat me better. And you're like, all right, man, like...

But I just, you know what I want, like, just get it, like, you know, and then let's not, yeah. There's people that are extremely rude, but... Right. You know, that's like the people videoing, right? Isn't that a big thing? They videoed people at Chipotle, and that was a big thing. Have you ever seen that? They were videoing them to ask, to like...

get more meat or whatever. Because Chipotle was like... But have you ever seen that in person? No, I've never seen that. So that's what it's like. You see it and it seems like it's this thing. And you're like, dude, that is... The odds of you seeing someone videoing and doing that, extremely slim. And so overall, we're all... Everybody's doing a great job. Yeah. Except when Aaron walks in and he's on one leg.

He's like, I'm not going to give you any hints to what I'm going to tell you. You better have learned the names. He goes, let me guess. Flour. I will say I've gotten the same thing at Chipotle every time I've been there. Pretty good. That was funny. Did they know you? Yeah, it was good. Yeah. No, they don't know. I don't go to this. Double flour. That's how they're flying. Let me guess. Oh, tortilla. Yeah. I didn't get it. There's no bowl. Yeah. Let me guess. They have...

What now? I got the same thing every time I'm there. What? Because I don't like change. I'm talking about change. Do you still go there, though? Chipotle? Yeah. I mean, yeah, all the time.

That's like the one place I consistently go to. They were like out now. They had a real moment. I think they're crushing it. 300 new stores this year. It's somewhat, for fast food, the healthiest shot at fast food. You can go there and get lettuce and steak. Chicken and rice. I feel like there's a real anti-Chipotle sentiment out here. Well, there is. There's a lot of propaganda being thrown around from competitors, I think.

There's a lot of like, oh, there's E. coli in it. It's like, yeah, there was once. Now it's all fixed. Any of these places have problems, dude. Eagle Eye. That's what I always think when I think E. coli. Eagle Eye. Eagle Eye. Just watching you from a distance. Yeah. What do you order? I get a bowl to go. You do get a bowl. White rice, no beans, chicken, medium, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, cheese.

That's it. I'd get all that except the corn. And I shake it up. Yeah, it's good, man. You shake it up. That seems easy to make at home. Yeah. Nah, it's not the same. It's not the same. You got to do some stuff. I've been growing tomatoes. Yeah. And I've been cooking them down, making a little soup for myself. Yeah. Very good. You think that's easier than going to just Chipotle and just getting it? Well, that's not the question. Yeah. You know what I thought of this weekend? Yeah.

separate we we had uh poutine in winnipeg so they have in in canada it's all paper straws wooden spoons it's all this recyclable stuff and i was and in my head i thought they should let winnipeg be like because you're just winnipeg's lovely city they have one month of summer how about we go we're not gonna make you do the recycling thing

You're up here doing good work. We're not going to make you do a paper straw. Burn your trash. Do whatever you want in that month. You're not the problem. Right, right, right. It's not that month. I'm saying the whole... Yeah, it made me think like, you know, people in Winnipeg, it's minus 40, right?

And then you got to touch a paper straw. You're like, no, no, no. Like New York, they can do paper straws. Some major cities can do paper straws. Yeah, yeah, paper straws. But then some of these smaller cities, you're like, we don't mess with them. We leave them alone. Yeah, I mean, or just do this. Because they're actually spreading us out. So they're actually helping. Right. Because they are living, they're choosing to not crowd up a city.

That's what I thought. Yeah, they could just use silverware that can be washed. Well, but I mean, for to-go. That's no fun. Yeah, I'm talking about to-go. I'm talking about to-go. I'm saying just you don't make them have to do it. Yeah. I just think all that stuff's so silly. We could use reusable things, but yet we're like...

Let's use wooden spoons. Let's get a guy with wooden spoons. But if you're getting it to go, you're not going to, what are you going to go swing back through Chipotle and give them their silverware? Yeah, on the way home. Fast food lane. You say bring your own. Well, no, I mean, you know. Like a grocery store. To go is different. To go is different. If you're getting it to go, you should have to eat with a wooden spoon.

Or why? No, I just, it is annoying to me. I get it, though. Plastic's bad for us, I think. Paper straws are brutal. Yeah, they're tough. Some movies about change. Face Off. Face Off. Oh, yeah. If you had to switch faces with any of us, Dusty, who would you choose? Well, it'd have to be Nate. I mean, I think our faces are similar. Yeah, it's the only. I think it'd be a pretty even. Yeah.

It wouldn't be, you know. Yeah, it's only a decent face in here. I mean, that's for sure. Good Lord. Aaron, you got a young face. Decent face. You didn't even compliment Nate into that. It's only a decent face. Remember the end of Rocky IV, his speech about change? Oh, yeah. If I can change, we can all change. Something like that, right? It's beautiful. It is a good movie. Mm-hmm.

What about the song by Smash Mouth? The guy says, could you spare some change for gas? I need to get myself away from this place. He said, hey, what a concept. I could use a little fuel myself and we could all use a little change. You guys know that song? Yeah, All Star. Have you heard that song, All Star? Yeah, I'm familiar. I think so. I think I've heard it.

I've never heard the lyrics said amelotically. So it took me a second. The great philosopher Sheryl Crow said a change would do you good. Yeah. Wow. Wow. What's amelotically? What's that? Amelotically. What is that? Like he just said it. He didn't say it.

Okay. And we could all use a little change. Well, the years start coming and they don't start coming. You know the song. Yeah. Yeah, we do. All Star. That's right. Rest in peace. That guy died recently. Really? Yeah. So just so you know. I didn't mention him. Yeah, I know.

You might have mentioned him in the past. The Smash Mouth guy died. Oh, yeah? Mm-hmm. That's sad. He was a good singer. He was good. Yeah. Yeah, that is tough. I got their CD for Christmas one year. Oh, yeah? It's cool. You know, a weird thing about that era of music, like you'll be in a bar and they're doing covers of 60s, 70s, 80s songs. You don't see a lot of bands covering Smash Mouth.

You don't go... You know what I mean? Like, if you're in a band and they're just starting playing All Star or Sugar Ray or... You know what I mean? That era. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like that maybe we're too close to them to start to want to do it. Maybe. That's what I thought, but I thought... It's 30 years now. To me, that's somebody who just came out of... 20 years. 30 years. But, I mean, it would... Yeah, you would...

Like even like Third Eye Blind, you don't see them people? Because they also still tour. Third Eye Blind is still touring, yeah. They not had a new hit in a while though, huh? I just mean like a band at a local bar, you know, you don't hear them, you know, playing Marcy Playground or, you know, any of that, you know? 311, something like that. I think the 90s is as far as they've gone so far. I'm barely into the 90s.

Yeah, you'll see it come around. You'll start to see it. There'll be an aughts night at the club. Yeah. And then they'll play that kind of music. Yeah. We can stop there. Yeah. All right. Well, this is it. This was the first...

I felt good about this. Yeah, I think we're figuring out the angle on you guys. Yeah. You notice Nate gets farther and farther away from me throughout the episode. Well, it's because this, I think I got to scoot this over a little bit. Some little things we're figuring out. But this is unbelievable, dude. Thank you for making this happen. It looks good. It looks great. For all the people that think I'm quitting tomorrow. Yeah.

Maybe I'm working on some stuff. Maybe I'm figuring things out. All the conspiracy theorists, they brought in Dusty to eventually replace me. That's what people say. This has slowly been transitioning. And that's why we brought up Face Off today. And this whittler really let me down. He was supposed to put like Slayland in there or something. Yeah. Slayland. Yeah, that looks unreal. Yeah, it's very cool. That is awesome, man.

I am trying to get some of my own pictures in here. I'm trying to subvert that. I'll slowly start switching. Maybe I'll just switch the faces on the posters. Yeah. Well, that's, yeah, we're, uh, we, we, we can work on that. We're, we're getting dusty. We were having that, that idea was that wall was, uh, with more of y'all stuff. And then you got over there, you got that little, your little toys over there. There's like, there's stuff that's there.

Y'all's little toys. Can we get some of your little toys over there? Let's get some of the guys on the wall. Yeah, but can we make them animals? Do you want me to put your CD somewhere? Making that fudge? Making that fudge, yeah. You can hear that I'd rather have a dollar joke. It's a good album. Yeah, yeah, it is. It's a good album. It is. This week. This week, we, I said, Lauren.

Is it your last show? It's her last show. It's Lauren's last show. That's very sad. Lauren with Genovations Media. She's been with us from day one, right? She's been in the room for all of this nonsense for four years now. And this is where she drew the line. She said, listen, this is a good time to get out for sure.

Well, we will miss you. Yep. Yep. Yep. And I know it's, uh, she left. She's not being here in the room. Uh, not just talking to no one. He goes, there's not a Lauren. Uh, never has been, but yes, last show, the last of this first. So I'm glad you were here for this. You saw this as it takes off and, uh,

It's been great having you. You've been awesome. Day one. Yeah. For pre-Dusty. Yeah. Pre-Dusty. Yeah. Dusty's trying to get rid of all the people that were before him. Exactly. Slowly start replacing everybody. Dusty town. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, that is it. Yeah. Welcome to the new set. Oh, can I say what I'm going to be? Oh, man.

No, I'm joking. I'm going to be in Buffalo, New York at the Helium. I've never been to Buffalo. I've been to Buffalo, never done comedy in Buffalo. So I'm very excited. I'll be at the Helium Comedy Club. Great club. Yeah, so I'm pumped about it. That's this weekend? This weekend. Nice. Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Five shows. This weekend, I'm in Springfield. Is Aaron Weber talking? We can find the Aaron Lane camera.

Springfield, Missouri at the Blue Room Comedy Club. The club Dusty Slay built. That's true. He was one of the first people to work there. Now I'm there. Springfield, Missouri this Friday and Saturday. Come out to Blue Room.

That's it. This Saturday, I'm in Knoxville, Tennessee at Allie Ray's. Next week, I'm at Off the Hook Comedy Club in Naples, Florida. All right. Boca Black Box in Boca Raton. August 14th, I'm here at the lab at Zaney's. Come on out for that. And just added a show in Atlanta at Vision Studios, August 24th. Awesome. All right. We're out of here, man. Yeah, everybody's out. I still have a few more dates still up.

on some festivals and fairs and casinos. And then at the Lab at Zany's, August 6th is our first showcase, right? It's the first showcase. August 6th, we're going to have comics come, and the idea of it is, you know, it will be a clean show.

So it'll be fits in with what we're trying to do. And I like, I don't know if every comic works fully clean, but they would do the idea is have, you know, I think it's good to know how to do clean sets and there's a lot of funny comics. And so, yeah, the lab is a great place at Zany's. So we're going to, yeah, Nate land stuff. We're starting to build it out a lot more. And so we hope to see you come out if you can. August 6th to the first one. All right.

All right. I think that's it. We love you and have a great week. Bye. Nateland is produced by Nateland Productions and by me, Nate Bargetze, and my wife, Laura, on the Audio Boom platform.
