Hello, folks, and hey, Bear. Welcome to News Channel 5 at 10. I'm Brian Bates. Aaron Weber on sports. Dusty Slay.

On weather? All right. Dusty Slay weatherman would be crazy. I like that. He's like, nobody knows what's going to happen tomorrow. And that's true. Yeah. They don't know. I pull up the weather app all the time. It's like rain all week. All it is is heat. All it is is heat. We have educated guesses, though. We can see a storm front coming in, right? Mm-hmm.

You can guess. Did you ever host the news when you were working there, Brian? No, I was never on the air, but I did do it in college. There's a video of me out there. You were the boom goes the dynamite guy? Yeah, yeah. Very first time I ever did sports on... I think I got a tape of this somewhere, a little VHS tape. The teleprompter went down right when I was starting. Really? And I was too scared to even say anything because this was live on Murfreesboro TV. And I just...

faked it and just went off memory the whole sportscast. And did you pull it off? I pulled it off. Wow. It wasn't great, but I just went off memory. Scores and things like that. But I did do weather once. And there's a video of that out there too. I think Nate Lenz even posted that video. Oh, man. Back in the day. I did pretty good. You were in front of a green screen? Mm-hmm. That's fun. They had green screens back then. You're pointing around to stuff?

Yeah. And like, oh, we got a storm front over here. We didn't have blue because we didn't have a word for it yet. But yeah, I did pretty well. But I mean, weather, it is amazing that they, with satellite or whatever they're using, word of mouth, they're

that they don't think it's word of mouth. I'm just helping Dusty out here. That's what I think. They're caught. They're like, all right, we're in a Phoenix here called California. Uh, see what the weather's like. That's what I thought. California is just out of luck. They just got to get hit with whatever they just got. They got great weather, but hurricanes generally come from the Atlantic on the, as far as the U S the, you know, hit the East coast and you get a week's warning a lot of time of something happens. So that's a, that's,

That's amazing. Yeah, we clock those pretty good. Mm-hmm. Snow, we usually...

This often doesn't happen. I think according to Greta Thunberg, the world should be over by now. Okay. I think she made a prediction a while back that climate change is going to do this. This is what happens when Nate's not here. Nate is here, by the way. He's going to be in here any second. All I'm saying is. We're getting it out while we can. All I'm saying is, you know, it didn't end. So weather is pretty unpredictable. You're going to feel pretty silly when it does.

Only if it ends, you know, pretty soon. Well, all right. That killed that line. Sorry you guys aren't up to date with what's going on out in the world. I mean, that's not my fault. You guys are checking out here. Well, it's 92 degrees outside right now. It's almost October, so there's something going on. Um...

uh i was if anybody cares i do care brian i'm sorry it's taking a little it's taking a second to get rolling here i don't know there's a bad energy in the room and i think i'm the one causing it i feel good you ever feel like you bring a bad energy into a place i never feel like that okay i'm solid energy all the time okay well you can i'd appreciate a little more empathy right now but uh

Let's just kind of reset here. Where were you this weekend, Brian? I'm very curious. I was in Cincinnati. Technically Dayton, Kentucky. Dayton, Kentucky. Even better. Yeah. Across the river. Commonwealth Sanctuary. I did an all-ages show. How many people you think live in Dayton, Kentucky? And people go, where do you live? They go, Cincinnati. Cincinnati.

All of them. You think so? Yeah. I live in Cincinnati. Well, another state. It depends on how far out you live. If you actually live in that area, you tell them you live in Dayton. That's true. But I posted, when I did that club, I posted on social media, I'm going to be in Dayton, Kentucky. The club messaged me and was like, just say Cincinnati. Right.

Because people have no idea what Dayton, Kentucky is. Yeah. But even if you're 20, 30 minutes out of Cincinnati, you might not have heard of Dayton, I'm guessing. Right. And it might keep you from going. Exactly. Like this random city in Kentucky, it's like, no, I can see the red stadium. I can see the ballpark from Dayton, like right across the river. I mean, you live in Hermitage. Yeah.

Tell us you live in Hermitage, but outside of here, you would say you live, tell people you live in Nashville. That's true. Outside of here, he wouldn't tell anybody where he lives. Yeah, that's true, but it is still the same state, at least. That's the thing. That is true, but it's amazingly much closer. It is so close, as you know. It's like East Nashville to Nashville. I mean, you see the skyline. Yeah, I mean, the Cincinnati Funny Bone was in Newport, Kentucky, which was just over the water. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, it's all a mess up there. Yeah. A mess of a city. But it was great. It's got 12 bridges. I like Cincinnati. Yeah, it's fine. It's a pretty city. Too many bridges. Yeah, a lot of bridges. How many people are trying to get across that little river? I do like that bridge that you go across, like coming from Nashville, like kind of the covered bridge, and it's real tight. You like that? I do like that bridge a lot. You like a scary bridge. Yeah. Oh, look who it is. Just roll it in. Ladies and gentlemen, showing up.

Nate Bargetzi, everybody. Just tell them about my weekend. Welcome in. Brian was talking about his weekend. We shut him down pretty quick. We never got into it. As soon as he launched into it. We're talking about bridges. I've had enough of this podcast. There's the grenade. Someone complained about you not bringing it. The final one. This is the final podcast. Do it. Do it. Boom. It's hollowed out.

I hope so. I know. Everybody really gets nervous around a grenade. I'm not. You're not? No, I mean, this one's very clearly engraved. They're so much heavier than they think they're going to be. Yeah. Well, it might not be a real one. I think it is a real one. This is a decommissioned real grenade right here. Okay. You think you could throw this in combat? No. You do a hook shot. I always say Ben Roethlisberger asked me when he goes, is there...

It's not real, right? Everybody says, and I'm like, no, it can't. Well, it's not locked and loaded. Yeah, but you go, no, it can't be real. That's a crazy question. But it does then make you go, it's not real, right? Because you're like, if it... You just want to know. I want to see if I can get it. See what's going on in there. You can see down the middle of it. Well, Brian talked us through his weekend. What about you, Nate? What did you...

Brian said two things. Go finish your weekend. Dayton, Kentucky. At the Commonwealth Sanctuary. It was an all-ages show. It was very nice to see kids and their parents both be bored together as a family. Looking out there. How many generations do you think were there? You have three or four probably?

Were there grandparents and grandkids there? There were some people there who I'm sure were grandparents, but they weren't there with their grandkids. That's cool, though. But there were some grandkids there, though. There was a lot of young children there, so I'd assume their grandparents are still... Yeah, we're all grandkids. Yeah. Yeah. I know. Yeah. Yeah. So it was fun. Met a lot of folks.

I also did my Brian Bates and Friends here on Tuesday, and that was great. Nate came and did a set. Angela Johnson did a set. It's a hot show. I saw the pictures. The only friend you got. Dusty refuses to do it. You know what? Tuesday, I was in Las Vegas. Okay. Let's hear about it. I did a corporate gig for Boot Barn. Old Town? I don't know if that means. It just said you wouldn't be...

I picture all your corporate work is in Las Vegas, but it's in the other part of Los Angeles. We were off the strip. There we go. There we go. South Point Casino? South Point Casino. That's right. There we go. That's what I mean. But it was Boot Barn. It was great. We had a great time. That's exactly who I would picture you doing a corporate for. Yeah.

Yeah. That's what I want. It was like all the boot barn store managers. Yeah. The Nashville crew was like, yeah, we've seen you at Zany's. Wow. Yeah. I thought they said, oh, we've seen you at boot barn. Yeah. Unfortunately, no one recognized me from any of the boot barns that I've been in. I've been to quite a few. I would think that'd be a corporate gig that you called and asked for.

You would think. You set your avails to boot point. I wanted it, though. I didn't want it. When I heard I had it, I was like, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah. And they go to Las Vegas, you know, but not like Las Vegas. They go, no, no, no. That's the kind of Las Vegas I want to be in. Yeah. I like a little off the strip. Yeah. You know. You want the desert. People are a little hard up out there. You know, I.

I don't look shady out there. It's a good time. Do you run into any tunnel people down there? Did you hear about what they got going on? I know about it. I don't know if I did. There were some people that I saw that I was like, you could live in a tunnel. That's for sure. Yeah, I've been imagining some people that you see, you're like, yeah, they could walk with them in a tunnel. You know what I mean? Like it wouldn't – they can –

What do you mean? They go back and forth. You see them up top. Right there. Well, so I don't know if I told you, but mole people in New York, there's layers. There's people that lived in the subway system, like all went under New York, like the old tracks and stuff. So there was a thing with mole people, and they lived it. There was a different society. You had to have some people at the top that could go out and get stuff. So they have to be somewhat presentable.

Oh, okay. Because they have to go out and get stuff. What are the other people looking like, though? Well, they don't know. They're down there in the dark. I mean, I don't know if they've taken a shower in 10 years or whatever. It's a different world. But you got to have some people at the top that you still, if you found out they lived in a tunnel, you wouldn't be like,

You'd be like, okay. But when they walk out, you can't be like, that guy lives in a tunnel. You know? You can't. Immediate. He needs to kind of blend in. With probably the regular homeless people. Yeah. I don't know about this tunnels. They're talking about Las Vegas. They said that they're like, they get flooded out all the time. Yeah, a lot of them die all the time because they get, every time there's a big rainstorm. Yeah. I think that was a better way to say it. Flooded out. Flooded out's accurate, unfortunately.

Yeah. Pretty gruesome. Yeah, I'm telling the way that you said it. Yeah. I like South Point, though, because it felt like you're off the strip, but it also still feels like it doesn't feel like some regular kind of casino out in the middle of nowhere where those feel fairly empty and pretty sad. Yeah. This one was popping. I flew in on Monday night, got in at like 1230, walked in, wide open in there. Did you gamble? No. No.

I just hung out, had cigars and looked at people and got in trouble for filming. You know, that's what I think. In the casino? Yeah. Yeah. Real quick. They didn't, it did not take them long at all.

to shut it down what were you filming just myself and it just you know just kind of showing the being like oh i'm at this place you know yeah that kind of stuff sitting at the blackjack table yeah yeah film it i listened to your podcast on the drive home today and dusty has a podcast drive home from where cincinnati oh dave kentucky what are you talking about kroger that's right

A couple episodes behind. Was there a show in the afternoon yesterday? Yeah. Why didn't you come home? Well, it was like over like it. I could have, but it was just a long drive. They had a place. An hour ahead? Yes. You still would have been home around midnight. For an afternoon show?

What time was the show? 4 p.m.? Yeah. So you're done at 5 p.m.? Done at 5.30. It's about a four-hour drive. 5.30. Get home at 9.30, 8.30. Get home easily by 9. I say take the night apiece. Well, he's not running from the stage to his car. Yeah, I don't have a long list of fans to meet. And you know the pace at which Brian moves around. But let me tell you who wants to get out of there after a show. Brian's got to... Anybody want to meet? You can just sit there from the stage and...

You could have probably asked, hey, do you mind if I get ahead of this traffic and leave early? And they go, no, no, yeah, you should go. Well, I sold a lot of shirts. I'm joking. There's nothing better than an afternoon show. And then being done. And then being done. And then you could go eat. You could go watch some football in your hotel room. Which I did. Have a real night. You have a real night to yourself. I'm a big fan of that. So I'm just giving you a hard time.

Well, so I was a couple behind on Dusty's podcast because he shares his good stuff on that if you want to check it out. It's all good, but... Yeah, but skipping ahead because the one from two weeks ago, I'm like, let me just see. I like the Bible talk and I like the comedy talk, but some of his other stuff, I could take it or leave it. Sure. Skipping ahead on Dusty's, it's interesting because I just skip ahead and he'd be like, that's why I don't think vegetables are real. Yeah.

And then I'd skip ahead a little bit more. He's like, if your child is kidnapped, you're never going to see that kid again. And then I skipped ahead a little bit more. And he said, look, if you're a diabetic or something, maybe talk to your doctor. I'm just saying this is what I did. Yeah.

All that's true. That is true. I remember saying those things. Now, the take on the kid, that was a terrible take on the movie Taken, though. I totally disagree with you. I'd like to hear this. I think we've even discussed on this part, you said he was a terrible dad. He's the one told her not to go. The mom was the one terrible. Yeah, but you lock it down. You make a harder, he should have made a harder push for her not to go or had a conversation with the mom. He did. This is serious. There's a real issue going on. But he's the one that went and saved her.

In the end, yeah, he gets to pat himself on the back and be the hero. Yeah, killed 80 people in the process, but he got her back. Yeah, but it's like, yeah, they still let her go. He knew that threat was real. He knows it's so real because he's in the business. It's like if you're in the business, I don't even believe that the ex-wife is letting her go to this country alone.

But she wasn't going on. She went under false pretenses. That's the whole point. It's been a while since I've seen that. She was going with a friend, and they lied and said, we're going to go follow you two around Europe and just go to these concerts and go to museums. And actually, her parents were going too, right? No, it was just her and a friend, but they lied about why they were going there. So let's cut Liam Neeson some slack, dude.

Yeah, I just... I'm not into him being so much of a hero. It's like cool action flick. I like it. But as far as him being a dad, I'm not into it. Yeah, but this is like... Yeah. But as a teenager, he was going to Paris, staying at that girl's parents' house. And they were going to be there. Yeah. But still. Yeah. I don't support it. Yeah. And why aren't vegetables real? Well, I think... Now I'm curious. Well, I think it's an interesting idea, right? That you have...

Like all the things that are listed as vegetables, like peppers, they have seeds. It's like that's a fruit. You have lettuce. Peppers are fruit? Lettuce. That's just leaves. Yeah.

Broccoli, that's a flower. It's like when you get down to it, it's like, well, what is a vegetable? And then like you have potatoes, that's roots. It's like, it's all just- What is a fruit? Is this is you coming up with this or is- No, I saw a TikTok on it. Okay. But I like the idea.

But that's like saying there's no mammals because, well, what is a dolphin? I mean, they just have different names. It's just a fish. But it's just the point is that all vegetables could easily fit into a different category. Yeah.

But maybe it's just the ones you can eat. So we just say. And that is what someone said. Yeah. It's like, yeah. He's like, this is right. But vegetables are like the edible version of all these. But I just thought it was interesting. I was like, I like that, you know, because tomato is a fruit and we've all agreed with that, even though we are like, oh, it doesn't seem like a fruit. I don't think I ever thought it was a fruit. Yeah.

It is a fruit. It's listed as a fruit, I think. Yeah. And homegrown tomatoes are very, very delicious. According to the Vegetable Wikipedia, it says the original meaning is still commonly used and is applied to plants collectively to refer to all edible plant matter, including the flowers, fruit, stems, leaves, roots, and seeds.

An alternative definition of the term is applied somewhat arbitrarily, often by culinary and cultural traditions. So it's not cut and dry. Yeah. Yeah. And it's saying, but includes savory fruits such as tomatoes and curds. That's originally vegetables was just an overarching term for all of this, apparently. Yeah. Yeah.

I guess that makes sense. Veg, like vegetation, and then a bowls, like edibles. I feel people have just so much time on their hands. That's the problem. Yeah, oh yeah. Like, you know, once you don't stop having to gather your own food, you're just like the worst. We're the worst now. We're just like, well, I don't know if I would call it. And you're like, oh, like, you know, the people that like have to grow their own food and gather like...

Like, yeah, dude, I could never, I don't care what it's called. Yeah. You know? Yeah, I think you would just call it by its name. You wouldn't even really need a category for it. Look at the amount of people who've edited, revised, and added to this vegetable Wikipedia entry. Thousands. Thousands of people with nothing. Wow. Nothing else to do.

yeah can you imagine i appreciate it i mean we just looked it up can you imagine though like you're like you know what i'm gonna get on wikipedia and edit this vegetable page yeah i bet i mean there's yeah well i bet there's high people that do it often and then i bet there's people like this guy's good i like this guy yeah i bet there are people that just pretty much all they do is just you just do this could they get paid at all

I don't know. They have employees. Wikipedia has employees. They just asked me for another donation. I wish they'd get on my Wikipedia and do some stuff. Have you read yours lately? I think it got updated a bit. Better? Yeah. Okay. Because as of last week, it was funny. I don't know how accurate it was. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, this looks pretty straight up. Yeah, I looked at it. Pretty straight up, nothing crazy on here. Okay. Nate Land gets a shout out there at the bottom. I like it. Nobody mess with this. Nobody edit Dusty's Wikipedia. Yeah. Yeah. This one's good. This is going to look completely different. No, this is good. This is tip top. I'm saying it's good now, but now that we've opened the floodgates. Yeah. Well, you went to the Titans game. Yep. Yesterday. Yesterday.

They were favored by two and a half. They did not cover. Got our own guy. Yep. Lee Quillis. So if you had a bet on the Packers, you would have won money on DraftKings. DraftKings is the place to go.

Is that the only time you did it? Is that the only time you ever scored a touchdown? No, I scored lots. I used to be an athlete, and then I gained a bunch of weight, and it all went away. Oh, so you were on offense. No, this was a pick six. What? But yeah, I played quarterback.

It said ad-lib, so that's what we were doing. I like how that just went to Aaron eating a lot of donuts. That's how we ad-lib. We'll find a way to wedge that in. His ad-lib, when he does it, it says host ad-lib, but it doesn't say throw it on other people. Yeah.

Did y'all read any of this? Let's do a quick. Oh, yeah. Oh, can I say, I went to Austin, Texas this weekend. I did the mothership. Really great. Oh, yeah. Let's just talk about what we did and then I'll read this before we do the comments. Like top notch, like, I mean, they treated me so good. I've been treated very well by clubs for a long time, but they were like above and beyond. They were so nice to me. They hooked me up.

really great five shows really fun i love it love the club everybody there was super great loved it yeah that's great yeah yeah club was yeah that's awesome i mean everybody yeah everybody was nice they have a little bar after mitzi's that you can go hang out in they let me have cigars in there it was great tony henchcliffe was in there very nice guy yeah uh yeah i had a great time it's awesome yeah

Look at that, dude. I mean, it's a cool club, right? So I felt a little nervous about it. Is that Kurt Metzger? Yeah, it was. I love Metzger. Yeah, hung out with him. Was he on your show? No, he was doing the showcase there. I guess he just moved there. Yeah. But yeah, we hung out a bit. Matthew Broussard, old friend. Is he there? He was, no. Actually, he said, I guess his wife is from there. So they kind of go back and forth a little bit.

Yeah, so it was great. They took great pictures the whole weekend. I mean, had a photographer the whole time. I mean, it's so great. Yeah. Condo. You going to move to Austin? I don't think so, but the condo was amazing. They had this condo, 20th floor, windows all around. I'm overlooking the whole city. I was the third person to ever be in the condo, so it was fresh. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, just first-class treatment. Yeah. It was great. Yeah, that's awesome. Loved it.

How many rooms is there? Two rooms. Two rooms. And so the other rooms just kind of run. Did you go up in the other room? I didn't, no. I was doing five shows. I'm good with that. I don't need to. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, and I felt good. I mean, the shows were all sold out. It was really fun. Every show was great. People got a little rowdy some shows, but rowdy in a positive, fun way. The way you like it. Yeah, the way you like it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that's great. I loved it. That's awesome. Look at that, bud. Yeah. All right. Fun stuff. Yeah, I went to the Titans game, and then I was in Foxwoods. Casino. Had a blast. Yeah.

Trying to think of anything. I don't know what happened. 41 new minutes. All right. Pretty pumped. Wow. Very excited. Not saying it's all. Yeah. Wow. Every show.

So it wasn't like a fluke. Because the first time I'm like, well, maybe it's a fluke. This crowd's great. Yeah, yeah. Blah, blah, whatever. And I was actually forgetting a little chunk. I don't think it's all in there, but it feels... Obviously, it's not all in there. One part is I'm doing for... That I'm doing on SNL. But, yeah. We haven't talked about that yet. Yeah, we haven't even mentioned that. You've got some... It's so funny. So many of the things that are like throwaway mentions now...

We would have done a whole episode about it on the podcast four years ago. Now you're like, oh, yeah, I'm doing SNL. It's crazy. Forgot to lead with that. Like, it's insane, dude.

Hey, everybody. Nate Brigham TV doing SNL. Yeah, that's what I mean. That's I know. I'm very it's crazy. It's awesome. It's yeah, it's I don't know. I'm in it like it's hard. It's like I'm just in it, man. He's handing the football to the ref. He's been there before. I've been there. Like it's there you go. Yeah, it's like it's super. Yeah, it's the craziest thing ever. Coldplay super cool.

I'm excited. I was working on the set. I'm still working on this, the monologue. I'm excited about the monologue. Uh,

You know, there's a lot of stuff that I'm doing. I'm excited for everybody to, you know, I think by the end of this year, you're going to hear, if you're here, a lot of announcements that the stuff that I've been working on, this stuff has come out. And so it's SNL I knew about. The Christmas special is a big one. And then there's some other, should be some other announcements. And it's all kind of splattered through the rest of this year. So I'll kind of set the,

schedule or kind of let you know like what it's going to be and what we're doing and, uh,

I'm all, I'm pumped, dude. Like it's like with Nate land, even us as a company and what we're getting involved in all this stuff, Nate land productions is a part of all this stuff. So the CBS specials are being produced, uh, with Lauren Michaels, but Nate land productions will be on there too. Cause I'll be there and we will be helping. And so more trying to get more people to know what Nate land is and Nate land entertainment, good, clean, funny, and,

all that and uh making con you know want to make content but want to eventually be making you know the tvs and movies and make stuff i i'm just six uh yeah i was very excited this just talking about it yeah jelly rolls on the first week yeah he's another big win for the kid from old hickory all right yeah he's from antioch so it's but it's i'm excited with like we got some pretty awesome there's just some awesome things going and i can see it

where it's like we're going to be able to make stuff and you know like if you can show my comedy to someone the goal of it is anything that we shoot you know yeah we're not making you can watch it with your family like in uh i think you can make things cool that you can watch with your family and i think it's something that's not being done at all and uh so you know not everything might be as perfect but no i have every all of you guys listening and watching in mind and just trying to

You know, make... I don't know. I'm pumped. I was excited. Yeah, too. It was like... You got to... Like, it's like... I got real big on being... The whole weekend. I thought about it this morning. I thought I wasn't going to say anything about it. Because that's... But it was like being a creator. Like, if you can create... Mm-hmm.

Oh, here we go. Here we go. I'm just kidding. It is that. I'm just kidding. Being a creator, though, is everything. The more meetings I get into, the more stuff I get approached with and blah, blah, stuff. It's like you realize being a creator is big. I think you either be a creator, or if you're not a creator, be with a creator. Find a creator. Find someone that can make something out of nothing.

And so it's not just comedy. It's any business that you could, they can make something, someone that you could go to and go, this is not happening anymore. And then that person goes, don't worry about it.

We're figuring out the next thing. You need to be around that. You either need to be that or around that. And I think career wise. And so if you have your app somewhere with the boss and you're just like, he's phoning it. If it phones it in from the top, it's going to be phoned in the whole direction. And that's what happens. Honestly, I kind of feel with Hollywood a little bit. Like there's, it's gotten to a point where they are just kind of like, there's two removed.

And it's people that are still in business that were like there when, you know, I mean, I'm trying to think of like an old act, like when Dick Van Dyke was on or something, you know, like.

There's still people in Hollywood that were like, those guys still are around. And I'm not specifically talking about, I'm talking about air. But like the people that are around in the 90s and they don't move. So it's, you know, people get kind of stuck. And then they, you don't, if you don't have someone with good vision,

Or you, you either have it or you put yourself, if you go around someone with, that's a creator, I think it's a good thing. Yeah. More creating, less consuming. I feel like we really can get caught up in like just taking it all in, but it's better to, you know, create, it's better for your mind to create a little bit. Nobody is creating.

In the grand scheme, in your average workday, wherever you work, obviously people create, but the average person that you have interactions with, they're not creating. You're not interacting with a lot of creators. People are just...

doing life and i think that's and they can do that i don't i want to make stuff for those people so they can do if you don't want to do create or be do this i want to be able to be there to be like just trust me i'll make stuff that yeah for you that you know whatever it is you got to have the consumer too right because if you're just creating yeah then yeah not everybody yeah there's nobody to watch our stuff it's a lot yeah it's a lot

But it's like every time any meetings I got, anybody, some brings up something and then you're like, yeah, I got to go create that though, dude. I have to come up with the thing, how that's going to work. And it's, so you just learn to, you know, like, I don't know when to do it, when I do it. Creating is, if you walk around and you can create, you're walking, you are above everything

Any interaction that you will have. You might not be at the level that you're at right now. Maybe you're young, right? You're young, but you have a mindset of creating. Anything that gets introduced, you're like, why would they do it that way? That doesn't make sense. And then you go, all right, well, you need to figure out, go learn that way. Figure out why they're doing it that way. And then you go, well, I think they should do it a different way. And then you go, well, now I got to get in a position to do it in a different way. Yeah.

You don't get to just walk in. A lot of people walk in first day and go, you should do this. You quietly do this. No one knows. That's the idea of it. You just kind of like are taking it all in and you quietly just like get to the point where you then go like, I'm going to do it this way. And you got to trust yourself. That's hard. I think I go through that now. It's like I've been so much asking, am I doing this right? Am I doing this right? And then there's a point where if you do want to go to another level, you have to go –

I am doing this right, and I need you just to follow me. And not saying it's going to be right, that's a very hard thing to do because you want someone to be above you. I mean, that's essentially where God would come into play, where that's the only one, but you'd want someone above you because you always want to go like, right? Is that a no, no, no, no? And so then there's a point that keeps people stagnant. You get stuck when you can't.

When you can't not go to someone and say, is this right? You think we should do this? You just got to go to do that. And if you do it, there's nothing that could happen. There's no way you could go wrong. If whatever you try to do, nothing matters. That's how you have to think. Yeah. Nothing matters. I'm going to make this video. What if it's bad? It just doesn't matter. It's either good or bad.

And people know it or they don't care. And I'll make another one that's better. I'm not going to, it doesn't mean I fail or I quit or I did whatever. It's like, it's all a learning experience. You got to fail. You fake it till you make it. I mean, maybe that's not the right term, but you fail while you're learning to do things. Yeah. But your failing is, needs to be

I don't think you should be... It's weird, because people always ask us that, like, you know, oh, did you just bomb at the beginning? You're like, no, I mean, no. I didn't, like... You didn't have a plan. Yeah, I wasn't going on stage bombing. Yeah, yeah. Every show. Like, what... Like, yeah, stuff was... What? It's just funny. Yeah. Well, they hear comics say that. I know, I know. And you tend to go, yeah, I used to bomb all the time. It's like, I don't... In the moment, you're like, if I was bombing, it's...

Not that I was a good comic, but I don't know. I knew what I could tell a joke. And you're learning how to tell a joke. Not saying it would always go good. I would not get laughs. Yes, I did bomb a lot. But it wasn't like...

Sometimes you're at comics and they're like, man, first 10 years I bombed every show. You're like, then you stink, dude. If you bomb for 10 years every show, you got the most amazing stamina of anyone I've ever seen. Yeah, you're insane. But a lot of times at the beginning, you're bombing. And I guess I just, maybe I take it too literal. You're bombing is not because of you. It's because I'm in a bar and there's five TVs on behind me.

and no one's listening. That's majority of your bombing is you are in a bad situation. The reason the show would be whatever is because I was in front of three people, and I'm just trying to do comedy to keep them there. They don't want to be there. And they were just waiting to go up next. Yeah, or they're waiting to go up next, or whatever. It's open mic. It's just people sitting around. It's not like you're bombing. It's like you're just... It's like, yeah, the situation is brutal for the comedy. Were either of y'all here with...

It was very early when I started to stand up. Ron White popped in at a show on Broadway. I was doing a show that he popped in on at the. At the Broadway one, he went up and the crowd, it was like, you know, it's a bar on Broadway. It's the worst environment ever for a standup show. The bar on the end. Acme. Acme, yeah. The one at the end. That was my show. No, you weren't running the show. I was headlining the show. I did a show at Acme. And he came up after me.

What I heard was he went up there. He was like, if y'all get quiet, I'll tell some jokes. Nobody got quiet. So he was like, all right. Yeah. They were so loud for me the whole time. I had an okay set. And then Ron White comes up and it's like, oh man, this is awesome. And he did say that if y'all shut up, I'll do some jokes here. And

And then they never did. So he's like, all right, I'm done. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so it's like there are just impossible situations. Most of your beginning is in not good situations. But it does not mean that you're learning and you don't have jokes. I don't want it to come off like I'm saying I never bombed it. I just never understood it when it was like when it's always going bad and you're always, you're like, what? You're like, you don't, I mean, you're, the great thing about standup is I can figure it out the next show.

You know, you're always learning and you're learning every day at the next show. That's why stand-up is so beautiful because it's – that's why when I go pitch shows or I pitch stuff to these networks and all this stuff and –

The best thing with the CBS thing is working with Lorne Michaels. That's been his production company. That's been the best thing. That's why that show is going the way it's going. It's because of him. Because that guy's been around for a very long time. And that guy goes, I like this guy and I want this guy to do that. That's because of that.

Because all the other ones, they're just, yeah, I don't know. And you want to go, hey, I go to every state, almost every city in America. I've been to Europe. I've been to Australia. I'm telling these jokes. They're laughing at these. That's just what I'm telling you. And I went and did it. So let's maybe make television or movies that would seem like they'd be for those people. Or at least they're welcome to come. You know what I mean? Yeah.

It's a broad... What about mainstream? What's wrong with mainstream? I love mainstream. Me too. And so it's like they're... Not mainstream country. Oh, that's... Yeah. I love Post Malone. I love everything he does. I love the fact that he's turned into one of the greatest country singers of our lifetime. Yeah, I don't know anything mainstream you like.

I don't know. You know. Levi. Yeah. Yeah, I like some, you know, I like some mainstream things. Walmart. Yeah. But your comedy does have broad appeal in the way that Nate's talking about. Yeah. So it's not like you're some niche act that's like quirky and weird. Yeah. Yeah. Anybody can go to your show. Exactly. That's what I'm talking about. That's all. That's what I'm saying. Just come. You have a good time. That's it. But I remember calling you anytime you would get mentioned on anything, if I was listening or...

Like Artie Lang and Nick DePaul used to have a show. Yeah. Yeah, I remember that. And one time they just mentioned you. And who was the other guy that was their sidekick? Mike. Bossetti? Yeah. And they just like mentioned you in passing. And I called you. I was like, hey, they just mentioned you. I was like so excited for you. Yeah. And now. I was excited. Yeah. Last week, we didn't even mention you were on that Jimmy Fallon golf thing. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it's crazy, man. It is. It's doing a lot of this stuff. I just have a lot of... I want to see this stuff filmed. I want to see how it does. I want to do this variety show and see are people going to watch? We're going to make it the best we can make it and fit. I want to make all this stuff and see if people start coming out and see if...

You know, it's like I do know how to do this. But it's just like if you have a vision, I think you can do anything. It's always like if you're – I just think you can get in any – if you just know like, all right, I'm staying. I'm just not going to go off because sometimes some people, you know, I get told or someone says, well, don't become like that, whatever. You're like, I'm 21 years in this. Mm-hmm.

Trust me, I would already have a show if I became like that. I don't have anything because of that. And the reason I have stuff now is because we have people in arenas coming out to shows. So there's a point, it's like Steve Martin, he's become undeniable, the point that a lot of comics, we live by that. You just have to get to that point where they can't, they just go like, you're your own thing. Yeah, too big to ignore. And then you just get to go do your own thing.

But I mean, look, all this could come crumbled down. That stinks. Always remember that. I could be terrible. I don't think that counted as a rant either. And I haven't done a rant in a long time. I don't think I've done one in this. No, this is the first rant in the studio. No, I think you've done some. No, I haven't done any. He doesn't. Now it's all dusty and it's just negative. Yeah, that's what I do. I feel good about it. I felt good about that. It was inspiring.

Yeah, exciting things happening here. It is good to create, though. People, you know, you consume so much that you go, oh, everything's been created. Everything's been done. What can I add? And it's like, just do it. Just do it. Just do it. Just do it. And don't worry about the other people. You should put that on a slogan. Yeah.

It's like, don't worry about what other people are doing. Just do your thing. Just have a vision. Be all you can be. And just put a bunch of stuff out on the internet. These are great things. Y'all should write that down. I'm loving it. Yeah. Yeah. You go, just have your own.

you know what you want to do. I mean, there's so many things. Or get yourself around someone that does it. There's so many things I've done that I've run by people and they go, no, I don't do that. And then I do it and it's good. And I'm like, this is bad too. This is the part that I want to say. First time, I mean, I remember being around. So my dad, obviously, it was a lot like this with, he always just did it, figured out magic and all this.

But when I started working, when I did delivery stuff for my buddy Jimmy Hunter, and before I started comedy, and Jimmy Hunter was a guy like that. He was a creator. And so it was one of the first times I ever got to be around a creator. We would be delivering for Sears. So we're delivering washers and dryers from Sears. And then that ends up stopping. But I would stay with Jimmy.

And then Jimmy would be like, all right, now we're doing mattresses over at this place. Or now we're doing Lowe's. We got into Lowe's and now we drove to Lexington, Texas and Lowe's. And I remember it was a big deal for me to see someone like that that goes, this guy didn't go, well, that's done. We're out of Sears now. I mean, I just stayed with him. He goes, don't worry about it. We'll be fine. I'll have us work.

And then we'd stay with him and he'd always have me work. He'd always... Next day, he's like, hey, we're going here. Pick me up and we drive and go do work. And so being around that then, before I started comedy, that's what I'm talking about creating. That guy, either...

either if you're not the creator if you're younger if you're younger like i was be around a guy like that because that's a guy that just looks at nothing is gonna bring his world to the ground it just can't because it's impossible because he doesn't have anything in one kind of thing and he does a very good job but stuff doesn't you know it's like stuff just doesn't pan out like it's you just go like yeah well sears

Doesn't need us delivering washers and dryers anymore for whatever reason. So now we do mattresses. And then we did mattresses. Then we did recycled tires. When they did all the tire recycling in the Ford Explorer, they took all the tires back. All right, we had 24-foot box trucks. We're driving recycled tires down to Atlanta. That doesn't seem fun at all.

Washer and dryers, okay. Mattresses, okay. Recycled tires. That job was on dirty jobs. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Yeah, that was hard. But it's the idea that nothing's – you're not above anything. You're not below anything. You just go like, yeah, yeah. I'm just getting the thing. Here's the thing we're doing. And when that thing got – I don't know. If you were old enough, you remember when that recycled tire thing, it was like a big deal. Mm-hmm.

Because it was like all Ford or something, their tires were recalled. So everybody had... I think I've talked about it on here, right? Maybe when we did our jobs. Yeah, everybody recycled tires. So you have to go pick up their tires. One guy, we had to go pick one up in a cave. That was because a guy... Because they would... A tire place would pay you to come get their tires. And then you take the tires to Atlanta. And then that's where they would...

cut them up. And so I drove a truck with a bunch of tires from Nashville, Atlanta. And then one guy took the money to take the tires, but just dumped them in a cave.

Wow. So he was like, well, I'm not. So it's fraud. Yeah. I think he went to jail. Well, so we had to go get those tires. So those tires, we just went in. Did he go to jail for that or other stuff? For that. Okay. And then we had to go in there and then we, I mean, it's just. What do they do with these tires? They cut them up, like chop them up and recycle them. You ever see like a playground? Yeah. Yeah.

You know, who knows what they're doing? Probably eat. No, everybody, no one knows what they're in our foods. No one knows what recycling really is, but it's, everybody says that, but I don't think anybody knows what it is. Yeah. I don't like it on the playground. I go to the playground with my kids. I don't, I don't like it. I don't trust it. Just land on the. Nah, I gotta give us mulch again.

That's what it's mulch. I want wood mulch. Oh yeah. I want spoilers. Yeah. Yeah. I like the rubber. I kind of, I mean, I get what you're saying a little bit, but I don't trust it. Well, yeah, I could see that. You got a lot going on. Would you like to know where the tires come from? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Who, who's had these tires? That's what I want to know. I want to know details about it. I'd like to know how they make tires. At the trailer part, would they do full tires? Yeah.

Yeah. As the floor. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I burned a tire one time. Wow. It was pretty intense. I wanted to, because they were always like, never burn tires. Yeah. So I was like, well, I was. I think we hung out with different people. Yeah. I don't know if I've ever got told that. But. I don't think I was ever in a position where they thought, hey, I think Nate's about to burn this tire. But I wanted to see why. Yeah. You shouldn't burn this tire. Yeah. And you found out. And it's pretty intense. The fire department came. I mean. Oh, really? Yeah. How old were you? Oh.

I don't know, 18. I mean, too old to be doing it. I feel like you're a scientist and you don't even realize it. Yeah, but it was like, I mean, it was a thick smoke, just a thick. I mean, you could see, I mean, way up in the sky. The fire department came and they were like, you can't burn tires. And I go, okay, sorry about that. I mean, you know, I didn't know what to tell them. Yeah. You know.

Why didn't you just walk out and go, what's going on out here? Well, I was in a trailer park. I don't think they were like, I think they were like, ah, here we go. Yeah. They were like, this is best case scenario for why we got called down here. Yeah, that is true. Yeah. They go, no, no, you're fine, man. It's a relief. We thought we were about to break up. Thank God. It's the time. Break up multiple families fighting. So.

This is what you need. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. There it is. You could have talked to someone instead of burning that tire. That is true. I just went through this whole thing. We could have done the... You want to learn something as an adult, BetterHelp is a great place. Talk to someone. It's a good thing to talk to someone. Talk throughout, through things. You know, it's like I've tried to figure out how to balance... I don't always like the word balance, but it's like you always try to figure out...

You know how to manage everything, manage your life. And your life is very busy, especially in these times where it's, you know, you get to talk to all day, every day, text, everything, you know.

They land podcast network update. Two little quick ones. Always remember, check out. Don't make me come back there with Dustin and Melissa Nickerson episodes drop on Thursday. And we have a new podcast announcement. This is the first week we're doing super excited. Everyone wants it and everyone loves it. Everyone wants Greg Warren. Well, now you have them full time. All right. Debuting next Tuesday, October 3rd, the consumers show.

hosted by Greg Warren, Tim Convey, and Sean O'Brien. A new episode every Tuesday. So there you go. That's right. When you can't be a creator, be a consumer. Be a consumer. You can't be Nate, be Greg. Yeah. The consumers...

Greg, Tim, and Sean come together each week to bring you the Consumers, a podcast that meets the customer at the cash register, combining entry-level research with questionable personal experiences to put your brand loyalty to the test.

So that's awesome. It's exciting because that's what Greg's so great at is being passionate about these brands and these products. And that's what the podcast is going to be, a deep dive into a brand. He's a creator for the product. Oh, sure. So it's not like, that's what I mean. Creating doesn't mean I need you to invent something. It's being, you need to create a new path for maybe the product that is already there. You got to go do it.

The last little thing, October 5th, I will be on SNL with Coldplay. I don't know what to tell you. Also, October 5th, I will be on Saturday Night Live. I believe Coldplay's on the show. And...

So I'm going to be gone September. I'm gone, like, I think a good bit because I have SNL. We have something else, Fall Break. I have something else I'm doing. We just have a few things. So we have a lot of fun guests planned to come in with these guys. So, but just giving you a heads up, I'm going to have to duck out. Yeah, we're running around.

Well, thanks. It was good seeing you, buddy. Yeah, man. Let's start it with you guys' comments. Adrian Micah. This was such a perfect episode. The gang all together. Everyone relaxed and having a good time. Seeing Aaron so happy, relaxed. It was a great sound that Lucy and the baby are doing good, which is an answered prayer for many of us. Y'all's

are the best. It's a baby. Did y'all talk about it earlier? No, we haven't yet. Thursday night. I have a kid. It's his last night. What do I need to do the next couple days? What should I get into? Stay up. Leave Lucy here by herself. Drop Lucy off at the hospital early. Just so she's there. Southwest of Vegas.

Direct flight. Direct flight. Yeah. Come back next day. I would say sleep. Yeah. Just sleep. Sleep is probably the best answer, but the most boring one. Just sleep entire nights. Like, just all the way through. Yeah. Because you're not going to get a lot of that for a little while. It's hard because you don't feel loose getting up and out of bed. That's hard to, like, stay asleep. Yeah. Uh...

And you got to be like, why don't you go sleep? You know what? I'm going to sleep in the guest room. Yeah. I got a big day of walking on my treadmill at my desk tomorrow. I do. Popping off emails. Walking 500 miles an hour.

Matt Graves. Nate said, Betta Bates Uber ride set their future back a ton. That makes zero sense, but I knew exactly what he meant, and that's why I love this podcast. Yeah, that's very fun. Who knows? Yeah, it can't set the future back, but it could. Maybe it could. Micah and Jess Shoot. Shoot. They got a little one together. Micah and Jess Shut, maybe, or Shoot. Shoot.

I agree with Dusty on country music genres. A lot of modern country really should be categorized as country pop. Coulter Wall is a great example of some modern quality, old school sounding country music. Love the pop. Coulter Wall is great. Really great. I think a lot of people are coming on your side now. Yeah. Well, they get it. People...

People were afraid to say it, but now that it's out, they're like, you know what? I do agree with this. Yeah. Zachary Ward. Love that Aaron referred to candle scents as flavors.

I think his top five smells really got him going. Love the show, gang. I did get fired up. I didn't realize I did that. What'd you eat that night? Did you have something? It's tough to think back that far. Did you have something, though, because of the... When I got home after the podcast? Well, you know, because we talk about something, the smell you like, and then you're like...

I would like to come home and have smelled freshly baked cookies, but that never happens. Lucy, get on it. You know, what is she even doing? I know. Destiny Trevino, one of Aaron's new top five cents, soon will be his newborn baby girl.

That's true. That's very true. Is it true? Yeah. Oh, yeah. New Baby smells so good. Yeah, New Baby smells the best, too. Yeah. Okay. And it's your... It's like your baby smell. Yeah. It's the best. It's beautiful. It's the best, dude. It's the best. Just... That's the... I do... I miss the...

Being that little baby, like, you know, like they're just, they got wrinkles or they got, like, it's just the best. Yeah, it is. So that will be, that'll be nice. I'd like to comment on the spelling of destiny here. That's, I've never seen that. That's pretty interesting. Yeah. Destiny Trevino. Yeah. That destiny though. D-E-S-T-Y-N-E-E. I bet she decided that later. Yeah.

Well, maybe because Trevino, maybe regular Destiny Trevino was already taken. So she just spelled it that way. Oh, maybe so. You never know now. You know, you can really put different names anywhere. Like back growing up, you really could only there was never anything to do a fake name on. Right.

Other than like government documents. But yeah, you weren't signing up for stuff online. I know now it's like people can just go like, I'm John on YouTube. And no one ever knows who John is. Back then it was just, yeah, your name tag at work. It's pretty much all you could do. People at work would know you. Yeah, but they're in on the joke too, you know? Yeah. My brother-in-law, his name's Gerald, and he's got a bald head. They used to call him Onion Head. Yeah.

And so he would have that on his name tag, Onionhead. That's a tough nickname. Was that a law firm they worked at? Yeah. Now, are you going to hand out cigars in the lobby, Aaron? Is that a thing? Yeah. You want us there waiting in the lobby? I'm coming if there's cigars.

Wow, I didn't know that. I thought that was like an old wives tale that you smoke a cigar. Because you used to be able to just do it probably in the hospital, right? In the waiting room back in your day. I don't know. Oh, yeah. When he was born? Yeah. Oh, smoking was definitely allowed. Yeah. Yeah, the doctor had a cigar. Cigarette? I don't think it was cigar. I think it was, yeah. Yeah, when Bates was born, it was. I just think about her being born. Yeah, during the daytime to have light.

Sun's going down. Deliver this baby. Yeah, inducing. Is that what it's called? Inducing? That's what we're inducing. We got to check in at 11.45 p.m. On Thursday? Yeah, so that we start it officially at like 12.01 a.m. Friday. Yeah. And why are they doing it middle of the night? No idea. No idea. Very little has been explained to me. I'm just along for the ride. Mm-hmm.

Are you sure you got your AM and PM? I'm sure, because I remember saying, okay, that's a little late. And they go, no, that's not how we do it. Maybe it's less busy at the hospital during that time. Maybe they're going to a concert or something. They're going to come after. What did they do? Hand stamped? Back in your day, Bates, when they induced...

Did they, what was it, like they made them eat beef jerky or something? I try to think of anything. They don't have no medical way. Smelling salts. They just walk in the room and go, hey. They scare her. They go, hey. It's like the hiccups. And they go, all right, it's happening. You know, when I was born, they said I was like three weeks late. And they said that they told my mom and dad to go drive around on some dirt roads. And it's like real bouncy. They said that should help induce labor. That gets it going. Yeah. So inducing was just like you had an old-fashioned. Now they-

force it. Or now there's a way to do it now. Yeah, they medically get it going. Come on. Come on now. Come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, girl. Put a Pop-Tart. Zach Wright. When your house is on fire and you only have time to grab one thing, don't underestimate how important your pillow is. I never travel anywhere without mine with my pillow because I sleep terribly without it. If my house burned down, the last thing I need is sleep terribly.

Life is already going to be difficult enough. That's not bad. That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Yeah. Helix sleep. Aaron. A pillow? You mean the thing you have 14 of in every hotel room? Yeah, but some of those are not good. I mean, you know. I'm sorry. I appreciate you writing in, Zach, but I mean, a pillow is a dime a dozen, brother.

I mean, a Helix does make a good pillow. But maybe he doesn't need anything else. No offense to our sponsor, Helix. We love Helix. I'm not running into a burning house for my Helix pillow. I'd be sad if I didn't have it, but I'm going to agree with you. I mean, it's like if the house is burning down, I'm not worried about the pillows. Yeah. Just playing it ahead. Yeah. I love that. He's like, well, I got to get some sleep, though. My house is burning down, but I want to get a good night's sleep.

Yeah. Zach, you think Zach would be asleep before the fire is out? Yeah. Firemen are not even there yet. He's like, I'm getting a hotel. Has anybody seen Zach? You're like, oh, he's out. Yeah. He went over to the neighbor's house, knocked on the door and said, house on fire again. Do you mind if I stay over here? Brought my pillow. Sarah Keefe.

Not as much fun as the idea of having two noses, but the reason pregnant women have a higher sensitivity to smell is survival instinct to protect the unborn baby. They are able to detect expired and spoiled foods easier and therefore avoid eating them and getting sick.

You should do that with Lucy with your food. Yeah. Hey, is this still good? Some old yogurt. Yeah. I just did a clean out our pantry and fridge the other day. Stuff gets tucked back there. Yeah. That's like, I don't even remember thinking about buying this. It expired 2023. Just disgusting stuff. What did you eat, though? Did you eat anything? We had a wobble house today. No, I'm saying, but did you have...

What do you mean? Like, did you grab any of that stuff and you go, I bet I could still. A couple things. You got, ah, that date's not, you know, I'll say about a week off. That's when you have Lucy. Test it for you. A week off is okay. Yeah. Depends on what it is. Yeah, milk or something. Milk will get ruined quick. Yeah. Yeah. Larry Miller Jr. When I was attending Auburn, I worked at Jim Bob's Chicken Fingers as a dishwasher and

And cook. Oh. I loved the smell of chicken until I worked there. Every night I would leave, I'd have to roll down my windows on my drive home and wash my clothes as soon as I got home to get rid of the fried chicken.

Chicken smell. Well, Larry, I don't know if you know this, but I also worked at Jim Bob's Chicken Fingers. Dishwasher or cook? Yeah. And I never really made it up to cook. I got to cook a little bit, but I was mainly a dishwasher and a sauce guy. I like two employees coming together like this. Yeah. But I know what you mean about that smell. But I maintain that I still love it and loved it even then. But I get it. That's kind of crazy. It is crazy. I don't know that Larry... I figured that's why he wrote in.

I think you would have said, like you, Dusty, I worked at Jim Bob's. I think you would have said something like that. I worked at Jim Bob's. But I read it like when I was attending Auburn, I worked at Jim Bob's Chicken Fingers. That's how I read it. But you would have said something like, I also worked at Jim Bob's. I think Larry trusted you to kind of connect the dots. No, I don't think they knew. Should dishwasher and cook be capitalized? Because those jobs aren't important.

Well, it depends on where you're working at. Jim Bob's, it is a big deal. Dude, I remember when I worked at... Also make the tea. Yeah. I was an expo food runner at Bluegrass Country Club in Hendersonville. The dishwasher was the hardest working guy in the whole country club. He was a guy named Dale. He's on work release. And he'd go back to prison when he was done. So he would work hard when he was there. Wow. And...

No, but he was just that kind of guy. He was just like, he kind of enjoyed working hard, you know? And he used to tell me, I used to hand him plates and, you know, it was like, I go, this is gross. And he's like, buddy, you couldn't gross me out if you tried. And you're eating the fries. Yeah, you're licking those. Tonight I got to use the restroom two feet from another guy. All right, that's fair. Yeah. But respect the dishwasher, man. Well, Larry, I appreciate you writing in. Mm-hmm.

Albert Multari. The reason you can't smell yourself is known as olfactory fatigue. They say your nose only recognizes changes in smells, so after a while you won't smell the dead skunk in your house, but everyone else will.

You think they call it old factory fatigue because people used to work in factories? Probably. Old spaghetti factory. Yeah. They didn't put much thought into it. Old spaghetti factory fatigue. How's your golf game? Golf game's good. Where's that grenade at again? Well, besides the grenade that I got, but PXG. I got PXGs.

PXG is an ad. PXG is a sponsor? Yeah. This is awesome. We're the real deal, dude. There's a house fire. I'm running in for my PXG. I'm a big fan of PXG. So, PXG has been very nice to me throughout the years, and I've had a lot of sets of their irons.

I got the new PXG Black Ops Irons. They are game improvement missile launchers that feature X-Core 2 technology and dual cavity design that combines with their high-strength, ultra-thin, maraging steel club face to deliver superior forgiveness. And it's...

I love the, I've done, I've done a lot of fittings with PXG. I've done a lot of stuff with PXG. I'm a big fan of PXG. I use their clubs. I'll be honest with you. I get a lot of clubs and I can use a lot of clubs. Uh,

And I've always used – I've always go back to PXGs. I've played all of them. They're not saying one versus the other. But the one that – the clubs that I use the most, the ones that I use every time, honestly, is the PXGs. I've always liked PXG. I think they're great. I'm not just telling you that. Their new driver is terrific. What?

uh, one thing with PXG people always ask about the drive. Their new driver is great. It, uh, they just keep improving it. The fitting is great. I mean, it's, they get you really set up. I get there. They got a great putter. Golly, go to their putters. And, uh,

I don't ever remember the names of anything. Uh, right there. Allen, the Allen putter. It's like, it doesn't have like torque on it. So when you putt, it kind of keeps it straight on the line. So it doesn't, cause you can tend to, I'll tend to open the face and close the face and whatever. And so it really stays on the line. It's got a thing. It can pick up the ball underneath it. If you, I do enjoy that, but that putter has been awesome. Uh,

Take the PXG Irons Challenge. It's a ton of fun. If PXG's new Black Ops irons don't outperform your current irons by delivering either more distance or tighter dispersion during your fitting, you'll get a $100 MasterCard Rewards card. You'll get it if it doesn't. That means better accuracy. This offer ends October 7th. Let me say it again.

It's a great new putter. I love it. Awesome. I think that we think, we were talking to someone, like, new putting is probably going that way, where it's not going to, it doesn't have, like, the turn. It's just, I mean, it is, it's a great, great, great putter. Yeah. I mean, I got the new ones, and I just. That's awesome. They're a sponsor now. Yeah. That's big time. Yeah. We're doing it. We're like a real thing. We are. We're the real deal.

When my daughter, Polly G, when my daughter was three, she developed horrible breath. After it got worse, we took her to the doctors, and they agreed it stank.

But couldn't figure out why. That's how he's writing. A month went by and we decided to try a doctor one last time. She said there's something up her nose. She grabbed the long tweezers and pulled out a tiny piece of paper. When it came out, everyone in the room dry heaved because it smelled so bad. As soon as she saw it, my daughter remembered finding a fortune cookie paper, folding it up and sticking it up her nose. Wow. That's crazy that something like that could happen.

smell that bad so she had the olfactory fatigue going on because it smelled so bad but it was in her nose yeah she's three i mean it's like yeah yeah yeah it's funny just so bad they go to the doctor and they're like man yeah that breath stinks dude we don't know why yeah good luck yeah yeah and doctor after doctor's like i don't know and finally one's like oh

Let me see. Maybe look into this. What about the nose? Yeah. Just look in the nose. Yeah. It's like Carl from Sling Blade. How do the other doctors not figure it out? He's like, I ain't got no gas in it. You ever see that? Sling Blade? Yeah. Can't find it, right? Yeah. Is that one of the movies you can't watch?

I have it. I own it, though, if you guys want to. I have Sling Blade, too. Really? They blocked it off? No, I shared it on here, Hal. Yeah, it's not on any streaming service. You have to buy the DVD. But you can't even buy it on Apple? Like, buy the movie on Apple? I think it's hard to even buy it. Corbin Redding.

I was actually on Sister Wives. I officiated the wedding of Christine Brown last season. I've been a fan before Nateland and actually listened to Nateland on the way to the wedding. So cool to see you guys talk about it. I'm in season 18, the last two episodes. Look at this. Here's our guy, the officiant right there, Corbin. Look at that. Real deal.

How about it? Beautiful wedding. She marrying a different guy? Yeah. Wait, did he just kick up his leg? Yeah. Well, she like... Corbin told him to. Yeah. She kissed... She toned that down. She leaned in. Corbin, she said, what are you doing? Is she one of the wives that got divorced and married another guy and that's part of the show? I don't know. I think you know the lore better than we do, Dusty. Yeah. That's intense, though. That's inappropriate. They'll be kissing like that at the wedding. That's inappropriate.

That is an aggressive kiss. He's into it, man. He's into it, but there's family out there. Yeah, but look, this ain't wedding number one. You know what I mean? This is definitely a down-the-line kiss. Oh, yeah. I mean, so yeah, if the kids are there, they're probably the same age as the parents. Really grossed out by it, for sure. I mean, it's just so inappropriate, though. Yeah.

Save it for the honeymoon, guys. I know, but I think it's, again, you're at a wedding that's... The producers probably said, hey, do something fun. Yeah. Yeah. Like, really show off in front of the other wives. If you're listening, the dude kicks his leg up like a... I don't even know. Like a woman might do. Yeah. She's the aggressor. He's doing it to be funny. She's leaning in for the kiss. She's the aggressor here, though. Aggressor is a strong word. Yeah. I don't know, though. Look at her. Yeah.

Well, thank you, Corbin. That's pretty exciting. Yeah, that's cool. That's pretty cool. I'd like to know how Corbin felt about it. He seems uncomfortable. I can only see one eye, but...

Yeah, I'm sure it's just taking... I mean, again, I'm telling you, they're... Like, let it play out for a second. It's going to be... This is a wedding, dude. They're going to be kissing like that. This is... This is what I mean. It's inappropriate for your typical wedding, but this wedding right here... Oh. Oh, okay. They're going back in. I thought y'all were overreacting at first. But, man. No, no, no. It's like, take it easy. It's... But...

It's, I think... I remember when this lady got divorced. Oh, really? In the show, yeah. So there you go. That's what I'm talking about. She got divorced from the other guy, and now she's marrying this guy. That's what I mean. So when you do that, that kissing is not... There's no appropriateness to it. And she was married to a guy who was married to three other women. Yeah, come on. Yeah. Come on. I don't think they're technically married, but they're like, you know. Because I don't think you can have multiple wives in Utah. Mm-hmm. I think that's illegal, but...

Yeah, I don't even know what the, yeah. Yeah, I have no idea what the dynamic is for any of this, but I hope everybody's happy. I've watched more of this than I would like to admit. Yeah. Hannah watches it. Mm-hmm. What, yeah, what in there, yeah. I'm watching the show with Lucy now. It's one of these shows, it's just like everybody in the show is miserable.

I just don't understand. But I mean, I'm watching. 90 Day Fiance? It's called Tell Me Lies. It's about these college kids and they're all friends, but they all hate each other and they all do horrible things to each other behind their back. None of them has ever had a good day. I don't think I've seen any character smile. I'm kind of into it. What's the show called? Tell Me Lies. What's it on? Hulu, I think. Speaking of creating, they know how to create a good show. They know how to pull you in with some real crap.

That's what it is. I mean, even Lucy's watching. She's like, yeah, this show's stupid. I mean, it's idiotic, a lot of it. But it's just like, I don't know. They figured it out. The cover of that, we shouldn't even show it. Oh, I'm sorry. What are you watching? What's the matter with you, man? Yeah. You got a baby. What's the matter? Not yet. Not yet. That's what you should do before. Once the kid comes, yeah, we're going to change that. Yeah, binge watch Tell Me Lies until the baby comes. Yeah, be done with this. Yeah, I'm ready to be done with it.

Yeah. Shows are, yeah, it's like, again, you're making stuff. It's because I think it's because people make stuff. Firetruck. Sounds of Nashville out there. Yeah. I think it's because when they make it, it's the people that are making it as the writers do it. They're making it stuff that they watch, kind of stuff that they kind of are into. And so they're like, oh, we're doing a show like that. And you're like,

know about it because they end because a lot of times i think in la like people are not living a regular life like you're not you're kind of like i don't know you're single longer than you than the average person is and you you can go to more parties or you go you go live this kind of like man i remember living in new york and it's like sex in the city when that first came

It was a good show because there was not really, I guess, a show like that. But then it's like now it's only shows like Sex and the City. And you're like, all right, well, there's not, you know, it's got to go another way to be like, well, there's other people. Maybe we don't need all. Yeah. Does that make sense? Yeah, totally. Maybe it should start trending back the other direction, which is what you're trying to do. It's what we're trying to do. Yeah, the real deal.

We're not going to do this. Yeah, we're going to finish up the senses, going to do touch, but we got to show. We're not going to really touch on it today, though. Yeah. I mean, that's better than anything we were going to do. Yeah, we may not even do it now. It's going to be better than anything I was going to have. So we got to wrap it up here. What, in about 10 minutes? Yeah.

Yeah. It's been a hot podcast, though. I feel good. That's a nice shirt you got there. It's a jacket. Yeah. Yeah. People often comment how we all dress so differently. You guys and Dusty and I. Weather-wise? Yeah. I like wearing, but I think we're bigger. Yeah.

I think there's just a vulnerability in only wearing a t-shirt. If I were in unbelievable shape, I would wear just a t-shirt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I make fun of Aaron, but I have the same dumb body, and I'm uncomfortable wearing just a t-shirt. I have a backpack on, too. I need more stuff, because if it's just me... You want the back to match the front.

I'm totally kidding. I'm just... Trying to balance it out. So he doesn't tip over. What's in that backpack? Just weights? Yeah.

Oh, that's funny. Yeah, I'm totally kidding. But did Lucy go, did Lucy go, you don't even know what it's like to be pregnant. You're like, well, you go. Yeah. Well, I don't get to have my go try to be pregnant every day of your life for your whole life. I've said that a couple of times. She's like, you have no idea how hard this is. I'm like, look, kids like five pounds.

You've seen these caps? Oh, I know what I want to mention. I heard about a long ball festival in McMinnville.

Let's start getting started. Oh, yeah. I watched this movie called Black Ball, and it's like a British movie. Vince Vaughn's in it. I've been going down a Vince Vaughn deep dive, old Vince Vaughn movies. And it's like British, and it's basically like bocce ball, if you ever played that on the beach, where you roll the small ball down, and then you try to roll the other balls and try to get as close to that one. But this seems like a big game there, and I want to do it. I want to make a big...

tournament. That's what I want to do. Bocce ball? Yeah, but they just call it balls, I think, in England. But it's exactly bocce ball? But you're on a... I'm not Googling this. You're on a court. Yeah. As opposed to just the beach. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Like bocce ball. I don't know. When I played bocce ball, we did it on the beach. That's all I know. Okay. I've only played it on a...

Little outside, but not on the beach. Like a green turf. Because you want it to roll a little bit. Yeah. It's tough to roll on sand. Well, yeah, you get it on the sand closest to the water out there. Oh, so it's hard sand. Yeah. But you want to build a court at your place and make a festival. Yeah, get McMinnville people together.

Like, let's play some bocce ball. It's just built around that. Yeah. We'll have a grill out, cook some food out there. You could do a show. Yeah, maybe I'll do a little show. Very early stages of this idea that may not ever pan out. What are you going to call it? I don't know. I've not gotten that far yet. What do you think?

I don't know. We got some other steps to take care of first. We got to figure out what the sport's called. I've always been a big fan of the name first. You build everything around the name. Everybody gets to wrap their head around it. Yeah. Huh. You know, like this... Bocce ball, but not bocce ball.

Festool. Kind of bocce ball at Dusty's house. How do you spell bocce even? B-O-C-C-I. Yeah, it's confusing. Dusty ball. Dusty ball. I like that. Yeah. And then you go, I got this new game. You tell them the rules. And then someone goes, is this not bocce ball? And then you go, no, no, it's a little different. So maybe you add something different into it. Oh, yeah. So if you can make up a new thing to bocce ball,

Then it's...

Yeah, see, the one that they're playing on, it's like green turf. Is it? It looks dead of like Nick Saban. That's what he's up to now. This is going to be dusty in three of his neighbors in a few weeks. Yeah, it's green. It's all turf, though. This is a live shot of the dusty bowl. I don't want to play on this gravel, this pea gravel out here.

Well, you'd play on turf. Oh, turf. Like AstroTurf. Would you send a letter out to the McMinnville residents? I want to meet the mayor anyway. I want to try to get together with the McMinnville mayor. To tell him this? No, just to hang. Oh. I just wanted to let him know I'm around, and I'm a public figure, and I'd like to be friends with him. You go, I don't know if you've heard, but I've moved to your city. Yeah. He goes, yeah.

Because I do this in every town that I move to. I've always met the mayor in all my towns, but usually it's because I was on the wrong side of the law. But now that I'm straight and narrow, I'd like to meet the mayor of McMinnville and let him know I'm out here. Yeah. And let's get together. And you're going to ask him for some...

You want something. Well, you got to ease in. I don't know what I'll ask, but yeah, you want the relationship. You're going to want, so you want, I need some more gravel. Yeah. Like you're going to do, something's going to be. But would you put the artificial turf on your property? I think so. So it'd be a permanent. Or maybe you don't do artificial. Maybe you get, you know, there's a real kind of turfy grass. Turf? I don't think. Recycled tires. Like fill turf. What if you use recycled tires? Yeah. Mulch. Yeah. Yeah.

Leaves. Do you need some more leaves? Everyone bring Destin. Well, I'm excited. First day of fall. Yeah, plenty of leaves now. And so leaves will be coming back. I'm looking forward to it. Yeah. All right. How was your garden this year? Really good. A lot of tomatoes, a lot of asparagus, a lot of grapes. I got a huge beet that I picked today. I let this beet grow for so long, it's like a potato.

It's amazing. How do you stop it from growing? Kill it? I just pulled it up. Yeah. Kill it. But you could just keep going? I wanted to see how long. I got a guy coming to build some new garden beds for me. So I wanted to see. Where do you, can I ask you before you, I want to hear the end of this. Where do you find a guy like that?

Where do you find the time? I got a guy coming to build me garden beds. Well, he listens to my podcast. He built the porch for me. Oh, okay. And then he also does landscaping stuff. So he's going to build some garden beds. And then, so I got to get rid of the beams. It's amazing. On this podcast, we go, look, we'll read your comment. On your podcast, you're like, you want some work, I'll give you some work. Yeah, exactly. Your listeners...

You're going to be in the house. Yeah. I'm looking for some things to get done. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well,

Well, what happened with this guy is I got a new neighbor and my new neighbor gets, you know, he gets pretty wild. He gets a lot of letters from the HOA. He's in a, you know, always into something. And I started describing this guy and what was going on. And so the guy that built my deck emailed me and said, this sounds just like my old neighbor. So we started chatting about it. I think it is. He said, wait till Christmas. This guy's going to have a lot of inflatables.

And then he didn't. Oh, wow. So he thinks it's his old neighbor. I think it's the same guy. Yeah. But where he lived, there was no HOA. So it got super wild. Yeah. You put a lot of Christmas inflatables in your house? Not a single one. You think when that guy moved in, they go, are you sure you're going to handle an HOA? And they go, that guy's got the fence backwards. Yeah.

Yeah. He goes, put me next to that guy. That guy's going to get it. Yeah. Yeah, that guy's got a bat cave over there in his backyard. But you know what? That guy, my air conditioner broke. He works for an air conditioner company. My air conditioner broke. I went over. I go, hey-

You think you come look at my air conditioner? He comes over. He's like, opens it up. He's testing things. He's cutting wires. He's sweating. I'm like, this guy's about to screw up my air conditioner. And then he goes, oh, you're going to need this and this and this. And I go, well, where do I get that? He goes, well, they're not going to sell it to you unless you're licensed. And then he goes, I think I got it in the truck. And then he goes and gets it, fixes the air conditioner. It's perfect. Yeah. God.

Wouldn't even let me give him money. So you're going to let him get away with some inflatable stuff. Yeah, I want to write the HOA and be like, this guy's okay. How much inflatable stuff would he have to do before you have to go like, look, dude, I was going to like four of them. I was like, absolutely. I won't say a thing. Well, last year he goes, he's got a small yard. He's like, I think I'm going to use some of your yard for my inflatables. And I was like, well, you know, and I think that would do it. Yeah. If he started using my yard. Yeah, that's a lot. Yeah. Yeah.

We got another Michael sighting. Michael Clay. If you ever want a TMZ photo. All right. Dusty looks like when he goes to the post office. All right. Exactly like he looks all the time. That's my buddy Michael. That's Sir Conrad, Aaron. Yeah, I remember talking to him. Did he stop and say hi to you? Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Incredible. Yeah, we had a good time in there. I wish you'd have done that for me. Well, you know like when a dog's eating out of a bowl and they go, don't pet it. Yeah, don't touch it. Like, it's like, I feel like it's like that. That's me at Chipotle. You walk out of a Chipotle bag, like, you're like, I'm in a zone. He's got, you know, so you got two backpacks on front and back, and then you're carrying a bag, and you're just trying to look, uh,

He goes, I don't even matter to look at me. I'm not comfortable. You got a hoodie on. It's 193 backpacks. Two bags of Chipotle. You just won't do it pointing. You just nod at everybody because you won't point. And you go, yeah, dude. I mean, you're difficult to come up to, Aaron. All right. This was a quick one. So sorry about that. But yeah.
