221: #221 NASCAR with John Crist
02:00:13 Share

The iHeartRadio Music Festival was a blast, and Hyundai's EV lineup was there for every moment. In Vegas, Hyundai took VIPs to the Speedway to test drive the 601-horsepower Ioniq 5N. On Friday, the EV Sessions winner was announced, Hyundai's music contest on TikTok. The twist? Their performances were all powered by the all-electric Hyundai Ioniq 5. How cool is that? And after the show, fans got to check out the Hyundai dance floor at House of Music.

Thanks again to Hyundai's amazing EV lineup. Learn more at HyundaiUSA.com or call 562-314-4603. Today's episode of the Nate Land Podcast is brought to you by Pesti, AG1, BetterHelp, and DraftKings. Hello, folks. Hey, Bear. As always, Brian Bates, Dusty Slay. All right. All right.

And sitting in for two hosts. Oh, I am. Yeah. It's a lot of pressure. We're training champ John Crist. What's up, everybody? Everybody's like, let's hear what Nate has to say about SNL. Not this week. And you got a fresh haircut and a taco shirt representing Nate and Aaron. Oh, yeah. This is like one time when I did a, and I don't mean to start. No, you keep going. I already started. I already interjected. It's not my podcast. Go ahead.

Well, Aaron is being a new dad and having a great time. I talked to him today. He's doing great. And he's just enjoying being a new dad with baby Olive and, you know, he'll be back. We look, hopefully next week, we look forward to hearing all about baby Olive, but, but Aaron's enjoying some dad time with her.

Nate, everyone is very disappointed, I think, that he's not here. So many people, not even because of SNL. I'm not that bothered. I'm not either, actually. Well, not public figures, but the general public, folks. You guys are probably happy. I wouldn't say happy, but I'm not disappointed about it. Yeah, it's irrelevant. We got to talk about his outfits. We'll get to that later. Do we review that last time? People...

Saturday Night Live outfits? Yeah. We can. But the folks wanted to hear his response to the big Vanderbilt win over Alabama. Boom. Let's go. Well, let me give my response instead. I wasn't able to watch it. The loser gets to go first. Talk to Nate on this poster. Talk to him. You know what? I can't believe that happened. That is the most bizarre thing that's ever happened in sports. Not ever.

But I'm kind of happy. I'll be honest with you. I love Alabama. I want them to win. I want them to win every national championship. But if somebody's going to beat them, why not be a team that's never really won anything? The Commodores, baby. And I live here. Yeah. So it's exciting. And the game is probably fixed, right? I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I don't know why you would fix it to have Vanderbilt win. Exactly. You know what I mean?

Is he a Vanderbilt fan? I don't know. Am I? Yeah. Yeah, I predicted it. Well. Well. That wouldn't even be a real prediction, though, unless you had the numbers. Oh, you did predict it? Yeah. Yeah. I feel like if you predicted it, it was sarcasm.

No, because I didn't think we would win. But here's the thing. How do you beat Georgia? I just think Alabama, they beat Georgia, and they just wore out. And then they came in, and Vanderbilt is their biggest game of their year, and they came out hard. They still should have lost, but I'm pumped. I'm excited for them. Javier, yeah. I tweeted that because I didn't really think Vandy would win. But like you said, this huge win over Georgia. Everybody's talking about it all week. They're the new number one team in the country. Vandy was off last week.

Two weeks to get ready for them. But it was kind of like showing some signs. They were showing some signs. Of like being kind of sexy. They took Missouri to the overtime. It's exciting. Yeah. Vandy's better. Vanderbilt has a little bit of a team. Yeah. It's exciting. It's very exciting. So I talked to Nate today. He issued a statement. Is this to the fans or to Dusty? No, this is to the fans. He doesn't care about Dusty. I like Alabama, but I don't try to be in people's face about it. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Roll Tide, but I don't try to. Nate said, if I rank my best three days of my entire life. Oh, no. Harper being born.

The day I got married, but number one, hosting SNL and Vandy beating Alabama would be obviously number one. That's fair. That's got to be. It's a good day. That's got to be up there. Yeah. Yeah. So everybody was asking, was he watching the game while he was getting ready for SNL? And he said he did have a little break in between rehearsal and the dress rehearsal. He was watching the game in his dressing room. They said, it's time for the dress rehearsal, which is in front of a live audience. Yeah.

they do the whole show yeah and then they do it again yeah okay so it's not like it's just practice and he's like give me a minute he like hell hang on a second because this game's about to that's a uh second time hosting yes yeah absolutely yeah that's uh that's the uh i know the i know the uh charts of the first one yeah yeah and i'm back two months later move yeah one sec nate nate bargatze does that and also i know who does it the rock

Those are the two people that can probably make that move. I respect it. So he held up SNL. I don't think he really held it up, but he was like, hang on a second. I want to process this win. Yeah. Interesting. I said, me and Derek Stroop, this is his joke, not mine. We were watching the game. And I go, man, I live in Nashville. I don't even know.

any Vanderbilt, I don't know who to text. I don't know. And he goes, yeah, that's because you have to have a debilitating disease to meet one. Meaning like they're all doctors. You didn't know Nate and I were baby fans? No. Graduates. I know Nate is a fan. Keith Oberstadt. Okay. Do you know Keith? No, we live here. That's what I'm saying. Do you know any? No. I don't know a lot of people that went to college. Okay.

I know more people at UT than I do at Vanderbilt. It's my own city. Yeah. Yeah. Most people that go to Vanderbilt did not grow up here. I don't even know where the quad is over there. Yeah, I don't know either. I know it's off West. I feel like you've been looking for it. They ripped down the field goal and carried it to Broadway. Where is this thing? And I know that takes a long time. Yeah.

And then I read that they got a $100,000 fine that they had to pay to Alabama because they ripped the field goal down. Apparently so. What kind of rule is that? Well, they got to pay it to Alabama. Yeah, it's like... Because they put their players in jail. Let's fine people for ripping down the field goal if it doesn't make sense.

When Vanderbilt beats Alabama, the ranked number one. I bet Vanderbilt's never beaten a team ranked number one. They haven't. And so it's like, yeah, the fine goes away. There needs to be a board. Yeah. They'll be like, all right, if you're the 15th team beating the 12th team, you don't. You don't rip that down. No, no, no, no. But if you never have beaten a number one team in your conference. If you're the joke of the SEC and you beat number one ranked Alabama. You get a pass. You get to rip the field goal down. Yeah. Yeah. And I think they had some trouble too.

It wasn't a, they need to help, but they have a couple of cranes right there. Yeah. I mean, we're always ready with a lift, but I think it's like, it's, I mean, my, my buddy Easton from our podcast, he said he went with them. Oh yeah. He walked. Didn't help. It was like, no, it didn't help. It was two, two miles. Yeah. It's so far.

Carrying a goal post. You got to think like after mile one, you're like, I kind of wish I wasn't in on this. Yeah. But once you start to see Broadway, then the energy comes back. Once he goes over the hill. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, I'm going to sit this out, get a bird scooter and go up and then I'm going to jump back in. Yeah. See, I don't know any, like you said, doctors, Vanderbilt grads to go. But if I were like,

Who's somebody that would know a guy who probably was in that melee? I'd say somebody on John Chris podcast. Yeah. No, they weren't. Your posse is going to be the type. It's going to be out there with their shirt off. I was looking for you. It was, it was that guy in Theo for some reason. He was there. He was on the sidelines. I saw Theo on the sidelines. He's everywhere. The guy's everywhere. He's doing a lot of side quests these days. I, I was just by the way, side, his jelly roll impression of jelly roll winning an award. So good. I haven't seen it.

This is not a watch clips podcast. No, no. Yeah, we don't do that. I'm old enough to remember the last time Vanderbilt beat Alabama, which was 40 years ago, 1984. There it is. And we were 4-0 and ranked 19th. And then the next week we played Tulane and everybody said, oh man, are you going to just be like not ready for it? Because Tulane was, I guess. Tulane's big.

At the time. No, no, no. They were nothing at the time. They were nothing at the time. So Vanderbilt was like, we're not going to overlook them. Sure enough, the next week they lost. They were in leather helmets back then. Probably. 1984? That was when I was born. No helmets, maybe. Yeah. You know, they say that professional sports are socialist in a way because the worst team

you know, gets the best picks. Oh, you just heard that on the radio a few minutes ago. No, I did. Yeah, I'm not saying that. Jared Stillman. Yeah, that's it. He said everyone except college football was like socialists. If you're the worst NBA team, you get the best odds of getting the worst player because they want everyone to be 500. So it's competitive. Vanderbilt has never been competitive in the SEC. And because of the NIL, now it's become –

We did have a... Yeah, now that you can buy players, everybody can be good. Yeah. That's how it should be, right? Well, I guess, but it does kind of ruin the... College football was the best, and now it's kind of... See Nick Saban over here. Now it's kind of... Well, yeah, I mean, Nick Saban, those were the glory days of college football. Vanderbilt under James Franklin, we had some good years, though. I forgot about that. Yeah. I want people to make money, but it's like...

I don't think this is the right system. I don't have the right system. I don't think this is it. I agree. But it's like, because you got people, I would imagine, you got people on a team making tons of money and then somebody making no money, right? Zero dollars. So it's like, I don't know. That's not the way. But what do you think if, let's say, the Vanderbilt cross-country team, like if us three were like, we're going to put them to the top.

We're going to get the best cross-country kid. Yeah. How much is he?

I like that. Honestly, how much is it? Let's pull the thing together. They'll be like, this is our team. And sponsor cross country. Or like cricket or something. You know, there was somebody. Water polo. I'm already into cross country now. All right, cross country. When this first started like two years ago, someone emailed the podcast and said she was like a cross country runner or something. And she said, would you sponsor me? When Nate Land sponsored me at NIL. And you said no? We never responded, but.

Oh, did I? I wasn't on the podcast that day. No, no. But what do we need from them in return for the money? They got to wear our jersey? Yeah, they got to wear all our specials. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll come out to practice. Yeah. We'll hype them up. But we got to go scout. I don't think me and you should be going to high schools and checking out who the... Nah. We need some more company to back us. We need somebody that knows about running. Yeah.

It's just based on times. Whoever's the fastest. And then we got to, hey, how much do... I mean, honestly, 10,000? You trying to go to college? We do that. No, we got to... Yeah. I mean, if a water polo or something like that, I don't know how we would even find them. Yeah. But also... Tough to wear stuff in the pool like that. Yeah. And the best... Oh, yeah. How would we sponsor them? The best players does not...

everybody watching these Vanderbilt players in the bigger schools go, we're going to poach them. Yeah. Right? You would think. Yeah. For more money. That one kid left in the middle of the season from UNLV. Yep. He left in the middle of the season because he's not getting enough money. He's a quarterback. He said they didn't honor this deal, and he left, right? Left the team. You got to like that. If you don't honor the deal, I'm out of here. Yeah. What's UNLV? University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

I might be fun to still be there. Yeah, yeah. If it's like a lame place, you're like, I'm going to get out of here unless you're paying. Yeah. You got to pay me. Yeah. And they were off to a great start. I mean, I think they still are. Where'd he go? I don't think he can go anywhere. I can't go anywhere. Can he? Yeah. I thought transfer portal. For the rest of the year. Can you go to another school this year? Just jump in, pull right over. Maybe go to Auburn. Auburn could use it. Oh, yeah, they could. They're not good.

I don't ever seen like if you're been elected Broadway or like I never even seen a Vanderbilt graduate. Yeah, I didn't know they partied like that. No, I don't think they do is what I'm saying. It was a sober. The sober goalposts ripped down. Was it? I don't think they go down to Broadway that often. I think they hang out either West End and coffee shop. Oh, yeah. First Avenue. That's there. I mean, but you see UT fans.

Like, non-stop. You see Titans fans around. The construction thing working on the airport has the Tennessee flag hanging off of it. Oh, yeah. Great point. Yeah. We need to hear from some Vanderbilt fans. You got one right here. Oh, that follow the pod. What do you want to know? We want to know what their experience is. I want a prediction from you now. How's the rest of the season look? And if you...

All right. Now I don't want to say, I think people that make sports predictions when they're wrong should receive ridicule to some degree, just because they get to make these bold predictions. And then when they're wrong, there's, I don't know, maybe ridicule is the wrong word, but it's like, just call it out. Just call it out and be like, you were wrong. And you just have to say you were wrong. That's on me. That's all I want. Next week, Vandy plays at Kentucky.

They're losing. I predict they lose. It's going to be tough because coming off an Alabama win, yeah, and Kentucky's good. Yeah. It's like the weather guy. He should be like, hey, last week I was three for six. Yeah, I think. And then I'd be like, sounds good. I want to see a weather guy get fired once in a while. For not, oh yeah. Like last week you said it was going to rain all week. It was sunshine. Yeah, he could be fired for that. Are you even reading the metrics right? Yeah.

Any other job, you're fired. Yeah. If you're reading the stock market and you miss like that, you're gone. Yeah. You're gone. That's what I want, a competitive weatherman market. I like that. Yeah. If you're wrong, same with sports takes. Yeah. Everybody should have like a rating. Yeah. At the beginning of the season, you make your predictions, and whoever has the worst is fired. Has to. I like that. Relegated. And banned from sports media. Back to radio. For two years. Yeah.

Now that's extreme. During the two years I wasn't ready for that. Can't work. What about weekend news anchors? Weekday. I wouldn't touch the weekend, honestly. Not at this point. What do they get? They don't do predictions, though, huh? A news anchor? Depends. His girlfriend. That's what he was saying. She's on the weekend. I mean, I trust him 100%.

Yeah, I don't think she's ever messed anything up. All right, so talking about weather, Hurricane Milton is coming through, which prayers for everyone involved with that. That's a new one. Yep. Yeah, we never really talked about that one last week, but that is so sad. It is so sad. Hurricane Helene. But what happened IJKL? Was there four? What are we on now? Maybe they just kind of come out during the... I don't know. I mean, honestly...

I mean, for any, for any Katrina's that are alive, I mean, it was a tough, it was a tough season there for a little bit. Yeah. I mean, that's, if that's, if your name's Helene, I'm staying inside. Yeah. I mean, I'm not, I think if your name's Helene, you drop the E, change it to Helen for a while. Yeah. I have to, yeah. I have to, I switch it up. Yeah. Your name's Helen. Yeah, it is. Always been. People have always said it wrong. What are the biggest ones that you remember in your lifetime? Well, um,

Katrina. Hurricane Opal came through Opalika. And we got some, I was living in a trailer. We got a couple of trees down on our trailer. Opal. Yes, that was a tough one. I think they retire some names if it's really bad.

Hugo was one they used to talk about. I was about to say the same thing. Hurricane Hugo. Hurricane Andrew, I remember. Hurricane Andrew, yeah. And then if they get to the, I mean, it's got to be the same board. The same board that's looking at the, he goes, how much damage? We got to put you back in rotation. I mean, we can't, you didn't, I mean. Maybe that's why we're at Helene though. They're just, they're like, what other names are there? Yeah. That's, I mean, what's the next one?

Milton's now, so I don't know. Do they need names? I don't think they need names. Well, it helps, I mean, identify it, just like we're doing now. The tornadoes don't have names, though, do they? No, and they should. If they're going to give hurricanes names, then tornadoes need names, too. Well, there's a difference. Hurricanes, you know about a week ahead of time, and then they last for, tornadoes burn up just like this. What about a tsunami? They don't have names.

Not that I'm aware of. They just came and caused destruction. They happen immediately. You have to plan for them. What about an earthquake? We could go ahead and pre-name them, I guess. I say let's get into naming minor rainstorms. You should post. It should be a post. If it was big enough, it should have a post experience name. Yeah. Yeah. Like we didn't know their name when they first popped up, but now we do. What have they got? The earthquake of 97? That's too much. Yeah. Yeah.

Hurricane Ivan. Remember that one? Yeah, I do remember that. Yeah, I think that was not long ago. Hurricane, was it? Yeah, Katrina. Was that a hurricane? It was. Hurricane Katrina. The real thing, though, I think with that was that the levee broke and then that was one of the problems. Ernesto. Yeah. Was it Helena? I thought it was Helena. Isaac, Joyce, Kirk, Leslie. All those, I guess, just came and went really fast. Milton's the one now. Nadine's next.

Nadine. Oscar, Patty, Raphael. Are you hoping that if you're that named, you hope it's not bad? Hurricane Dusty? I don't know. You want it to be like everybody remembers it? If it's Hurricane Dusty, I want it to not be involving water. I just want it to be a dust storm. Oh, yeah. Hurricane Dusty. They wouldn't have that because it would be confusing. Yeah.

Hurricane Navy. Look at the biggest hurricanes of the past 20, 40 years. You're a guest. I'm running the show right here. You don't tell me what to look up. You're right. This is lawless. Without Nate, it's lawless. You're right. It won't happen again. And they alternate male, female. Did you know that? It's 2024. Like the names, like Alberto, Beryl, Chris, Debbie.

It's got a non-binary hurricane. I was going to say that, but you missed it, dude. Dusty. It should be like Hurricane Pat. We don't know if it's male or female. There is. Patty. Patty is a woman. Yeah. Yeah. Unless you're Irish. I wonder if other... This is honest. I wonder if other countries have this system. I don't know. Don't they call them typhoons in the other part of the...

I wonder if they have names. That's got to be one of them. Dusty, you want to tell us about Pesty? Yeah. That should have been in Nate's crossing the Columbus River. So many papers. We name a hurricane. The Columbus River. Whatever river did they cross? We have all been there. I'm going to do the ad. Philadelphia. We've all been there. Sitting in your house and then you see a huge bug.

As you know, I used to work for a big pest control. Oh, I used to work for the big pest control companies. Let's just say it. Not a huge fan of all those chemicals, but now I have PestE. With summer coming to an end and the nights getting colder, spiders, ants, and other bugs are looking to find somewhere warm to nest. With PestE, you can make sure they don't choose your house.

Pesty is a do-it-yourself pest control company on a mission to provide pro-grade pest control products at an affordable price so you don't have to spend your day waiting on the bug guy to show up. While other pest control companies charge hundreds of dollars and make a one-size-fits-all plan, Pesty makes a customized treatment plan for you based on your locations, bugs, and climate.

Plus, the specific chemicals are rotated so that bugs don't build up tolerances, which makes it more effective over time. To me, the best part is PestEA is kid and pet friendly, so you never have to worry about your pets or kids. This is why PestEA is...

possibly my favorite sponsor. I just used Pestee this week at my house. It's so easy to use and you feel so accomplished. It just takes 10 minutes to apply and comes with everything you need, including a cool, reusable electronic sprayer. We could all use that. And Pestee offers 100% bug-free guarantee or your money back. Seriously. They will refund you if you're not happy with Pestee.

Now this, no, now is the time to protect your home from bugs for less with Pesty. Head to Pesty.com slash Nate and use code Nate for an extra 10% off your order. Once again, that's Pesty.com backslash Nate for 10% off and make sure you use our promo code Nate so that they know we sent you. I'd like to get a promo code Dusty once in a while. Yeah. Anyway.

Hurricanes have names to help meteorologists and the public keep track of storms and to reduce confusion when multiple storms occur at the same time. Oh, they do become at the same time. But is it really...

make any difference if you're like ah this is andrew coming here and the next one's ian and i i don't mind if andrew comes through but not ian i just want to know which name it is this one went north this one went south they they kind of they they do the same thing yeah they're all kind of doing the same thing cause of destruction but what if you got a mixed up like hey is

You saw on the news that Hurricane Ian is not going to hit you. And then someone, you know, says, hey, are you preparing for, you know, Ian? And he's like, no, it's not going to hit me. But it was really Andrew. Well, that's the thing about this one is it went so far inland, right? Yeah. And they were like, well, they were like, no, no warning. It's very sad. I thought they did have warning. Very, very short warning.

All right. Like a few hours, I think. A few minutes even, maybe. If they said, and it's like a sunny day today, if they said, hey, this weekend, it's coming, I don't think I would leave, would you? No, because we're so far that you're like, by the time it gets here, it would not be that powerful. I would not. Asheville, North Carolina. If they said, hey, trust me, and the weather guy who has been untrustworthy, if they said, hey, you need to...

Get bags of sand, surround your house and board up your windows. I would say I'm not doing that. Yeah, because it just doesn't happen. Yeah.

You're doing it for Tennessee. For Nashville. Yes. Yeah. I would be like, no way. Now though I would. And the same way that in 2020 when we had the tornado. Like I've been involved in so much tornado talk and scares my whole life that I was not even worried. I would see tornado warning and I'm like, who cares? And then it came through very close to my house. And I'm like, now I'm like...

Pretty paranoid. But those, if you like, it could be one street gone, the other street perfect. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Yeah. So they can't, that's, they can't predict those. You got to leave. They go, I don't know. Yeah. Maybe stay. Yeah. Gosh. I think weathermen do a wonderful job. Yeah. And. That's what I was, we were going to get to that.

I think it's amazing that they can even tell you that a possible storm is coming days ahead of time. That's pretty unbelievable. Shout out all the weathermen over at WSMV. Okay. If there were just one.

And he was like, nah, I can tell this is what's going to happen. Then I would be impressed. But they have a lot of technology and they're just looking at numbers and things. And then they go, yeah, this is what's going to happen. And then it gets delivered to them. And then they stand in front of a green screen and do like this a lot. And I'm not saying their job's easy.

Well, I think the same thing happened with them is the same thing that happened with they used to do on TV and the radio. They would do like traffic. Right. So before a traffic, I-25s backed up, take 40, take the certain now everything they are looking at. We have. Oh, yeah. Right. Yeah. We go. Well, if you're doing traffic, I am doing and I'm not going to watch TV, get in my car.

And then go find, like, I'm going to, it'll tell you get off of this exit now. Yeah. So now we all have the information. Mm-hmm. Is that with the weathers like that? Whatever they have, we have, right? And we have, you know, in Nashville, we have Nashville Severe Weather X on Twitter. Yeah. And that's what I always go to.

The World Meteorological Organization is responsible for naming hurricanes and other tropical cyclones. I said typhoons. Oh, cyclones. I'd like, you know, I know we got, we jumped right into this. I'd like to, I would like to talk about where we were this week, though. Okay, well, we'll move on. I was just finishing this one last thought. Okay. I'm not telling, I'm not trying to run the podcast. Okay.

Well, you have more of a right than John does. But I just want to... I do want to talk. I had a fun time and I want to talk about it. Well, all right. I said one thing. We'll move on from hurricanes. I got one more thing on hurricanes. I'm just joking. I'm just joking. Go. But as we're recording this, Milton has not hit yet. So prayers for all those that are in the line because it's a category five. My girlfriend's grandpa is named Milton. I have a friend named Milton. Dang. Tough week for Miltons. Okay.

Did you guys watch Nate on SNL? Of course. Yeah, I did. No. Hadn't had a chance. No, I was doing shows. I did try to find it later that night. Couldn't find it. But you knew he was doing it. I did know he was doing it, and I will watch it. It's very exciting. Unbelievable. I thought he did great. To me, it was better than the first one. I thought the first one was great. That's awesome. He seemed more comfortable.

sketches were funny. That first sketch was unbelievable. I thought the water slide sketch was great too. Yeah. I thought that was, you know one of those jokes that like somebody sets it up and you're a comedian, you go, dang it. And you don't even know what the punchlines are, but you go, that's a great, that's a, like what if that was like this? And you go, gosh, that's an unbelievable setting. That's what I thought about that water slide bit. What was the wardrobe you were talking about? What? I mean, don't put me on the spot. Yeah. I'm just saying that's when you know, that's when you know it's someone.

That's when you know they got money. I don't know what you're talking about. When you see the wardrobe. The post show? Yeah, the post show. Oh, yeah. I guess. And then all that on his Instagram. Oh, like afterwards? Yeah. I saw he had, again, the flower pattern. Yeah, it's a flex. He likes those wild. That's a flex, you know? Yeah. I respect it. Like, it's Lorne Michaels in a suit.

Yeah. Jim Gaffigan, Dana Carvey, everyone's dressed kind of normal, and Nate's got some stuff going on. Well, I think that's where middle-class people, when they come, everybody starts. We all started with no money. Did you start with no money? No, I always had money. Okay. Did you start with no money? Yeah. So did I. Okay. I'm joking. I'm joking. I still don't have any money. The first place you go is like a...

Like a four-wheeler. Like middle class comes into money. I have a four-wheeler. Do you? Yeah. That jacket right there. Yeah, yeah. You do. Yeah. Yeah. And I think, but Nate's not that kind of guy. Yeah. Nate's going to go close. Yeah. Yeah.

When you first start being like, oh, what's up? I can, all right. I didn't go like a, you know, I didn't go a high class four-wheeler, but I did get a regular four-wheeler. Yeah, I got a good one, though. It's four-wheel drive. Do you? Yeah. And what do you do with it? You live in a neighborhood. Well, you know, I got some land, you know, so I go ride around. You do? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Maybe a jet ski. I've never been a – I like swimming, but I'm not a boat jet ski guy. I'm not a skier. Those are all people with money activities, I think. I'm just a swimmer. But started with no money comes into – not like generational money, but comes into like a – Oh. Oh, yeah. That's four-wheelers first. Yeah. A four-wheeler or like a fishing boat. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe a car. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't mind some kind of like pontoon boat that it didn't require a lot going on, but you could just go out. Yeah. Sit and hang out, get some chairs, do a little fishing. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't mind that. That's where it starts. Land with a cabin? Yeah. But see, Nate's not for that. Nate's not going to have any of that stuff. But you guys all golf, and I feel like that's what your time is taken up by golf. You don't get to ride four-wheelers because you're golfing a lot. Yeah. Well, if there was like...

I remember they had four wheelers that are golf carts. I might be a little more interested in it. Oh yeah. Yeah. Cause if anything requires like Nate to like, we know Nate to like operate it, it's not going to go well. Yeah. Is that fair to say? And I know this is his podcast. Like whose side is everybody on? Probably is.

Based on his own comedy, I think that's a fair assessment to say he might need someone to run through how to run a four-wheeler. He's like, I got a cabin up in the mountains that has limited accessibility. I'd be like, who's going to help you with it? Yes. Before we get to this weekend, let me share some Nateland news.

It's worked out that way. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I was there with...

All right. I watched some of your special the other day on YouTube. You did? Yeah. Why? I don't know. I was just sitting around. It came up and I go, you know what? I'll watch some of this. Let's see what this guy's up to. I don't watch a lot of comedy, but I was just on my phone and I watched it. That's very kind of you, brother. Yeah, this is great. Yeah. I'm trying to think of what comedy I watch. I don't really. I watch, you know, I'm on TikTok and it'll be like, for me, it'll be, you know, oh, a standup clip, a doomsday clip. Yeah.

maybe a religious clip, and then back to comedy. You didn't specify which religion. Interesting. I could get sad. I could get upset. And I could laugh all in two or three minutes. I wish the, you know, like if you ever had somebody come to your show that's like never been to a comedy show, and they're like, they come back after, they're somebody's family or cousin, they go, I've never been to a comedy show. That was, I wish I had that.

Oh, I mean, they were so... I've never seen this before. How did y'all... Is that... Did y'all just make that... How does that even... They have so many questions about it. Because they're like, this is...

I laughed for two hours. How did y'all do that? What always happens, I always feel bad for people that have come to my show first because I always think, after this, guys, I mean, guys, it's like, this was really good and what are you going to do now, though? That's right. Where are you going from here? Yeah. Well, if you're, I always say for like the comedy club or like any of these comics that we just listed, like it used to be when it was Jerry Seinfeld or Jay Leno, you just like,

go to the comedy club. Like Friday night, we're going to go to dinner, then go to the comedy club because it was for everyone. Right. Yeah. I live two blocks from here. Sometimes I just walk down and I go, I don't even know what this is. Yeah. Because it's not for me. It's either a podcast. Or even like with me, I don't, you know, my shows are not squeaky clean, but I want, I like it relatively clean and I'll have comics.

that are not necessarily clean open for me and they'll really clean it up and then I see them somewhere else and I'm like jeez I had no idea this is the kind of comedy you're doing oh yeah oh they cleaned it up for you for me yeah and then you pop into their show yeah and I'm like whoa dude if you I feel bad nitpicking you on that one joke no you did a lot of work you're doing great yeah you're doing great yeah

I wonder if they wonder who is the great. I mean, I think, uh, Bob Saget. Oh yeah. It was like, everybody knew him from full house. And then they were like on the warnings. They were like, this is not full house. Yeah. They were like, just to be clear locally, he lives in Chicago now, but John Hickok was that guy for me. He did my show and he, it was pretty clean. Oh,

He used to live here. Did he? Yeah. Oh, I know who you're talking about. And he had a joke, and I was like, well, that was a little dirty for my show. And then I saw him on another show, and I was like, whoa. I was like, thanks for really cleaning it up. Oh, good for him. Yeah. Yeah. John's very funny, though. I never say anything. I just let the – I go, you can say whatever you want. The crowd's probably not going to like it. Yeah. And then you're not going to probably do well. Do whatever you want. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, I like to, you know, for me, it's like, you know, people are coming. I feel like they're expecting a certain, like, I don't want it to be like, I like to talk about certain things, but I feel like they're expecting, you know, a relatively mild show. Yeah. And I don't want to, I don't want to blow their minds out there. You know, most people I think can handle it, but you know, somebody brings their aunt to a show and they're like, oh, I've seen this guy. Yeah.

And then the next thing you know, I can't even do an example. I might have an example. Okay. Because I was discussing this with another comic because we were talking about like if a lot of like Christian people come to the show, they said they're not okay with someone like rolling a blunt and like smoking weed, but they might be okay with a gummy. Okay. You think that's true or no?

probably even too much for the podcast use that example okay all right sorry i'll cut it out but i think that's too much for this but i agree with you yeah they're very like oh it's it's it's more digestible i agree with you yeah

Literally more digestive. Literally more digestive. Yeah, if you go, I don't know, I accidentally, and then I picked up one of these gummies and ate it, and I, yeah. That'd be a little, we'd allow that. I speak on behalf of Christians now. That's cool with us. Feels like medicine if you're taking it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. And it can be. Yes. It is very medicinal. And cut back into where we cut out that part right now. Well,

Do we want to talk about where we were this week? Yeah, I do want to talk about it. Yeah, go for it. First off, I had two shows. I went out with my friends that I started comedy with, Derek Humphrey, Vince Fabra, Evan Burke, all people that I started doing comedy in Charleston with. We did it, the last tour the four of us did together 10 years ago. And I've done shows with them. I saw that on your Instagram. But not all together with them. So we went to Macon, Georgia, Chicago.

which I'd never been to Macon. The show was a blast. I had a lot of fun. Never been to Macon before. Show was a blast. Did you go to that chocolate shop there? I didn't. I went to a place called The Rookery and ate food, and it was very good. And then I did comedy, and a friend of mine from Alabama came, one of my childhood friends. We hung out at the Courtyard Marriott, had some cigars, and it was a great time. And then...

I went to Charleston, South Carolina, where I lived for a long time. I did a show at the Gillyard Center, which I watched be remodeled when I lived there. And such a big- Full circle moment. Nice. And it just, yeah, really fun. A lot of my friends and old coworkers and things all came to the show. Even one of the, Victor Hyman, the son of Eli Hyman, came and brought me a Hyman's work shirt. I used to have one of these when I worked there.

Was that a fishbone? It's a fishbone, and it says Hyman's on it. But they came, brought me some Cajun spices and some special sauce, and they brought me a work shirt.

Thinking about going and picking up a shift. Yeah. But it's not. It's fun. Shout out. You know, I love Heimans. It's your dream. And they've been a big supporter of mine. If not for Heimans, what would I have even done while I was trying to become a comedian? You know? So I just wanted to talk about that. It was really great. Really fun. That's awesome. That picture you posted of your friends many years ago and then now. Yeah. That was great. Yeah.

Yeah, just a real special night. And then I went to a cigar bar with a bunch of friends. We went to the cigar bar. And this guy – Christians are cool with that, by the way. Yes. There was two people in there. And we roll up with like 15 people. I think we overwhelmed the guy. The guy was not very nice to us. And then he would only let us open one tab. And he would not let anybody pay. Only one person could pay.

It's your show. It fell on me. Yeah, of course it did. And that's why you're complaining.

And everything else was fine. I mean, people were coming and going. And I was like, well, I'll see you then. And then the guy came around in the end. In the end, he was very nice. Oh, the cigar shop opened. Yeah, and he said, you guys saved my night. But I think we overwhelmed him a little bit. I mean, if you're going into a cigar bar with 15 people...

What service do you have to provide besides getting them a cigar? He made it harder than it needed to be. Yeah, I'll take this one. I'll take this one. When he's done, he'll take this one. They have the cutters and the lighters laying all over. He wanted to cut everybody's cigar and light everybody's cigar. I would need that. We appreciate it, but also let's just move it along. Let's suspend the rules for a second. I got 15 people in here. Yeah.

But it was great. Great trip to Charleston. Just got back today. Had a great time. And oh, I also hung out with an old friend. He was my best friend for four years, but I've not seen him in like, I don't know, 12 years.

And we hung out, and he had some wild stories that I can't and won't talk about. But it was fun to get caught up. I'll tell you that. I had nothing better than that. Yeah. It's a great tease. Yeah. Yeah, and you don't – We'll talk about the Patreon version. Yeah, I don't even know if I'll talk about his stories on my own podcast, but maybe I will. Gosh. How expensive is 15 people at a car shop?

Well, this better be more than a thousand dollars. It wasn't. It wasn't over a thousand dollars.

It's like 500 bucks. Okay. All right. That's still a lot though. It's like, yeah, I was, I went in and I thought those cigar boxes were labeled inventory wise. And I go, how much is this? I don't see any prices. He goes, oh, it's right there. $56. I go, okay, no, I don't want that. So I'm like skimping on the cigar. I'm like, and then, and then turn around and now people did give me some money.

though so it wasn't you know is it like wine they had wine and beer like you know how wine is like it's kind of all tastes the same but this one's like a 1700 bottle and tastes the same as the yellow tail yeah it's a little i don't know cigar you know wine people and cigar people would say yeah i to me it's like this you can get you don't want to go too cheap i feel like you don't want to go below seven dollars on if you're going to a cigar bar if you're going to a gas station well you don't you never want to smoke a cigar from the gas station oh well there you go the black and mild

Well, I've done it, but you don't want it. You don't want to. I did it for a long time. I really liked them, but that was before I, you know. You know what I drink with cigars? AG1. All right. I don't think they. I don't know if AG1 is recommending that. Hey, AG1 goes with everything, guys. Cigars.

You know what, though? AG1 helps you build a healthy morning routine. That's what I'm saying. In just 60 seconds, you can get your daily dose of vitamins, minerals, pre and probiotics, adaptogens, and more. And that's why I've been drinking AG1 for the past two years. AG1 is like daily self-care for me. I know that I'm doing at least one good thing for my body every day when I start my day with AG1. It gives my body vitamins, minerals, and

and more that it needs. When I drink my AG1 first thing in the morning, I feel like I don't even need coffee. It gives me an energy boost and no caffeine crash like coffee does. I also know that I'm giving my body the nutrient support it needs to power through the day. AG1 contains prebiotics, probiotics, and gut-supporting ingredients to support your digestion and reduce bloating.

In a research study, 80% of participants noticed less gas and bloating after 30 days of drinking AG1. They discovered 97% of participants felt digestion improved after 90 days of drinking AG1. Personally, I drink AG1. I do notice my overall digestion has improved since drinking AG1.

Aside from the vitamins and minerals in AG1, it contains prebiotics, probiotics, and gut-supporting ingredients for a foundational supplement that keeps me feeling my best. It is made with bioavailable ingredients that actually work with your body.

That's why we partner with AG1. So start with AG1 and notice the difference for yourself.

You're coming for Aaron's title as the best ad reader. It's a great read. It was a great read. Great setup, too. Thank you. That chocolate shop called Making That Fudge. Is it? I don't know.

I was hoping you would ask me, oh, what's it called? Oh, okay. Since you never did, I had to give my own punchline. I appreciate you doing that. That's a lot of chemistry for you to set that one up. Yeah. Just to know without him saying it. Yeah. What's it called, Brian? Yeah. That's all I thought. Yeah. Where were you this weekend? Man, I was in Shipshawana, Indiana, home of the Amish. Nice. I bought a horse.

Is that true? Yeah, I bought a horse. I went to the Amish. Like a cart pulling horse? No, not for the fields. Okay. Just for the fields. You have fields? No. Are you going to plow? Well, I mean, just... You know what would be funny? If you cut your hair like the Amish. I should do. That's a good idea. Maybe more than once. For no particular reason. I would bring it back. No, you know how if you're in the city and you're not doing anything,

And the guy goes, hey, you want to go to the... I would say 99 times out of 100, if they say we live here and this is unbelievable, do you want to go to it? I would say, yeah. Do you go to stuff on the road? Oh, no. You never go to anything? No, no. I'm like... Restaurant? Nothing. No, I'll go to a restaurant sometimes. Hey, do you want to see the...

waterfall that comes out of the... You don't want to go to anything. I go, how far is it? I go to everything. And if they're like, you can walk out of your hotel a couple of blocks, I'll go see it. But if it involves me getting in the car and going over 30 minutes with somebody, nah, because I'm like, I don't know if you'll bring me back in time. I go to... Wherever we are, we're like in Lima. You're like, you want to go to the first... Yeah, the guy that invented the museum that invented the

or something like that. Yeah, I'll go. I like Zoom shows. You know what I mean? They said, do you want to go to the Amish livestock auction? I would totally go to that. You would go to that. Yeah, where's my jacket? I would be at that. So we're all sitting. They're all Amish. They're bringing these horses through. You're making a video.

Yeah, I was making a video. Yeah, I was making a video. And well, they go in there. Everybody's like, how much do you think a horse? Like, I thought like Secretariat was like 10 million.

I think the racing horses are like that. And how much is a regular? If you're like, I need a horse for my daughter to ride. I would think $1,000. Really? Yeah. I would think more than that. A horse? Well, my dad buys some horses for my younger sister. Yeah. I mean, I always say that I feel like he's getting like yard sale horses. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. These aren't the ones. Yeah. Yeah. Well, everybody, I found out after I bought it that there's a lot of more, there's a lot more.

things you have to do to keep it going.

I don't understand any of this. Like food and stuff? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, check its gums. I go, check its gums? I don't know. To see what kind of aging it has. Yeah, that's all you tell. It's like the rings on the tree stump. I go, I have no idea. And then I posted it. I was like, I bought this horse for $695. That's a great deal. Thank you, dude. It's an unbelievable horse. Yeah. And then everybody in the comments is like, look at the hooves, dude. I go, no wonder everyone else in there was like, no. And I was like, no.

I go, it's got a cool haircut. I'll get that one. They were like, there's a new guy at the auction. Bring the old horse around.

He'll fall for it. Every time there's someone from out of town, they go, where are you from? California? That's what he said. That's the auctioneer said. Go get glue stick. Bring the impressive one. Yeah. Well, you can go back. Apparently, I found out that you... So, like, you can't... There's no...

There's no like Carfax for a horse. They can't say what their trauma is. So if like you buy a horse and then it turns out to be not good, you can bring it back to the auction.

Because you're like, oh, this one had like a... It wouldn't plow or something. What are you going to do with the horse now? Where's the horse now? It's still in Ship Shawana. Okay. We're finding it at home. So the guy I bid against, we were like, bye-bye. And I couldn't really understand what he was saying, but I knew. I was like, how much is it? He's like, well, $6.95. I'll take it. And then I paid for it. And then they were like, well...

What do you want to do with that? I was like, I can't take it back to Nashville, obviously, but I wanted to donate or give it to somebody in Shipshewana. You could use a horse. I go there every other year. So I think the horse is going to be on a farm. It's for plowing. So what I guess I really want to say to the listeners is whenever you eat vegetables or foods that have come from a farm, just... Thank John. Yeah. And again, I don't want to bring it up or brag or anything, but just when you enjoy stuff from the farmers, just think about us.

Next time you eat some Amish butter, know that John plowed the field, that the oats grew in, that the cows ate. That they grazed on. Yeah, yeah. Good-looking horse. I think it's the horses that eat the oats. Ronald is his name. Yeah. Cows are eating soybeans and corn now.

You just made fun of Nate for having money and not knowing what to do with something he buys. That's a good point. I didn't think about that. Horse? I like this, though. This is for function. You bought a horse and you gave it to a farmer to plow their field. I think it's good. I'm going to show you this horse. I like it. Yeah, it's big, too. And also, that's not a criteria you should buy one on. This one's big. I think you have to do it based on...

uh, you know, what kind of situation it's, it's, uh, that's a good whole. Yeah. Look at that. That's a good horse. You got to, you got a blonde horse. Look at that. That's also not the descriptor. Yeah. That's why they sold it to you. They thought he's from California. He'll like a blonde horse. Well, I was, uh, Friday night I was in Knoxville, Tennessee, love Knoxville at, uh, Allie Ray's gastropub. A lot of folks come out and, uh, we had a great time.

Good food. You always say a lot of folks came, and I guess you're saying they're from Nateland, but what about dry bar people? What if they're coming and you don't know that and you're only giving credit to the people that listen to the podcast? Or from your own Instagram and you post videos. Well, no and no. I mean, I don't know for sure except when I sell merch after the show, everyone that comes up to me says, we love you on Nateland or we've seen you on Nateland.

Nobody says I've seen your dry bar or your Instagram videos. I was at New Material Monday and I said to drive up. You never heard that? Drive up? Drive up to wherever the show was. No. Oh. Where do they see you from? Well, you know, I have a Netflix special. Say that mostly? I mean, I don't like the tone you said that in. Well, I mean, well, you just go where they see you from. And...

you know where they see you from buddy oh so i messed it up i messed it up no i didn't think i had a tone but my wife also thinks i have a tone and uh so i don't know how to speak to people yeah we've yeah you know and then they say netflix and then i um this podcast yeah and then i also um you know i've been working i tiktok was where people were saying for a long time yeah same same you know

So that sort of stuff. I feel like it's a real combination of things. Yeah. I've been on, you know, a lot of random podcasts. I saw you from whatever and you go, yeah. I never say that that wasn't me. Yeah. No matter what. Yeah. I get a lot of the Opry. Do you? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Some. Yeah. Because people come into town to see. And then when you come to their town, they go, yeah, I do get that. I get a lot. I got a corporate gig off a guy listening to the Opry. Really? Yeah.

And he hired me twice. You go to the Opry too. Yep. Yeah. Uh, so that was Friday night. Um, last night, um, I did hot fudge Sunday here at the lab. All right. How was that? It was great. Explain to everyone what that is. It's an urban show. Uh, there's, I think six black comics and me. Oh yeah, you fit right in. I thought it was called chocolate Sunday. I always felt like you did well in that setting. Uh,

Well, you're correct. I still do. I can't really repeat. It would sound very racist to just tell two white guys at a table, but in front of a black audience, they're laughing. I always thought you did well. I believe you 100%. I was on there with, well, Belly Button hosted. A lot of people thought that was a nickname for me. It could be, yeah.

Smurf TV. Okay. I know belly button. I don't know Smurf TV. I didn't know anybody except belly button. Smurf TV. I can't remember the rest of them. Anyway. It's going to make something up. Did you have breakfast on the poster? No. You should start doing that. I think you should use breakfast on your posters. You got to start taking some of my marketing techniques. That's the difference. What was your opener?

Oh, yeah. Here we go. Here we go. It's almost like you got to be there. No, no, no, no. You came out. He said you did it. You said you did it. Oh, I didn't know. I think I'm on the wrong show. I did say that. Yeah. Yeah.

I come out very scared. I say, when Zadie's asked me to do Hot Fudge Sundae, I thought, sure, I like ice cream. Yeah, there you go. And then there was one white couple in front. That's my cousin. They thought it was ice cream too. No, I was like, it's me and you, buddy. Something happens. Classic. Yeah. I did a Bill Bellamy show one time at the Denver Improv, and it was 100% black. And I said...

I'll only be up here for five minutes. I got to get back to being a waiter at the Toby Keith bar because it was next door. And that was all I needed. And then everybody was cool with it. Yeah. But then the next time, so I did, I went out and I did, I was very, very nervous. And I said something like, I was like, hey, this isn't my demographic either. So, and then I was very like nervous. And

I think they either appreciated or respected it. I don't know. But then the second show, I got confident. And I was like, oh, yeah. And I got. That'll get you. Yeah. That'll get you. They were like, no. I was like, what up? They were like, no. No, no, no, no. This is not. No. That's not how this works. That's not how this works. Yeah, that'll get you. Yeah. Well, anyway, it was a fun time. Did they ask you back? No. That's too early. Yeah.

You want to get into these comments? Yeah. Comments come from Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcast Reviews, and NateLan at NateBargetzi.com. Did you want to read them, Dusty? Yeah, I'll read some. Let's see. If I start collapsing midway, though, I'll have you take over. All right. Bri Goss. Is John Crist only allowed when Dusty is absent? I assume you picked that one just because we are here together. First time ever. Because we've never been on a podcast. We haven't. Yeah. How's our chemistry?

Well, you know, everyone asks about why you snub Dusty from the birthday party roast. We made a big deal about it. Oh, yeah. We never discussed that. Yeah. So why did you? Is this an intervention? That's why you're in the middle. An hour in. This is why we got here.

John, what do you have against Dusty? Okay. Let's surprise party first of all. I don't know how I got invites. No, you handpicked. I surprised party. I didn't know I got invites. No, this is what happened. They talked to me about it. They say, I've turned down mini roast. Yeah. And they said, this is a roast. They said, Dusty doesn't like roast. That was the story I heard. That is what happened. But then why did they not invite you to be it? That's what I'm saying though.

No, that wasn't invited on the show. Cause I hate roast, but they could have invited me to the party. Yeah. There's a lot of people that were there that weren't on the road. And I think, you know, I don't know, um, your girlfriend, fiance wife very well. Um, and, uh, so, uh,

So there's no reason why she should be like, oh, I know this guy. He's got to come. Other than the fact that she invited the other three members of the podcast that I do. And I'd never met her before. So I knew this guy. Yeah.

but they know that brian's into roast yes brian's in that brian is very good at yeah that's his love especially when it's john yeah yeah he does that what it was he's like i already have this yeah i already have this roast written just dusted i had had a party i think earlier in the year that i invited you to i was at that yeah yeah to roast you yeah but uh oh yeah i did come to that yeah for your special yeah i was thinking that one very good i was thinking that one at your house

Yeah, no, you came to that one too. What was that? Just a birthday party? I think it was my 40th birthday. Yeah. Oh, I made the jokes about that you, what was it? A text thread from like years ago. Years ago. Yeah. I read it. Yeah, it was good. It was very good. People loved it. That was a good time. Did they? Yeah. Is Bri, if they were a hurricane, man or woman? Bri. I think. Honestly. I think man. I think it's short for Brian. Bri? Bri?

Maybe it's Brie. Yeah. It's B-R-Y. That's a girl. I would say guy. I'm going guy. Interesting. I'll go girl. Somebody look it up. Where was this comment made? Plus the comment just seems like it's something a guy would say.

Yeah. Bri. I'm not calling another man Bri. All right. What about the next one? What about Casey Carlson? That could go either way too. Hurricane Casey. They've had that. Dusty's theory that vegetables don't exist checks out because asparagus is botanically classified as a grass. TikTok is on to something. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if you have seen that, but I've talked about it two podcasts in a row, so I don't know that I'll rehash it, but. Vegetables don't exist. I got that premise. Yeah. Yeah.

uh thank you casey well like what about tiktok is on to something casey they'll give the credit to me yeah what about the one what's the one that you put uh peanut butter on celery bananas celery oh that has to be that's that's not one that's nothing no i would that that's a stock that's grass yeah that's just a stock what is this one asparagus i guess that has a little bit of like a little bit of class to it

But it's just like a grass, a thick grass. Like the stuff that you, remember when you get like a steak and mashed potatoes at a wedding and they put that stuff on there? Yeah. What is that? That's grass. Yeah, like a wheat grass. You know what that stuff is with like the, that's not garnish? Maybe you're going to fancier places. Yeah. We don't have that at Golden Corral. Can't hide money. Yeah. I said at a wedding, dude. Matt LaCombe. Oh. Yeah.

Dusty explained my thought process for every text and email I send. That middle sentence can't have the exclamation point. It's too much. Keep up the good work, gentlemen. You know what I like about what this guy did here? He...

I know what you're saying. In the comment did first sentence exclamation point, second sentence no exclamation point, third sentence exclamation point. This is excellent joke writing here. This guy gets it. Matt Lacombe gets it. Hire him. I like because there's an E at the end. I feel like you should pronounce the B. It's like if they're both silence, it's too many letters.

letters you know what i mean what did you yeah way too much it's it's probably matt lacombe right yeah but why the e it's like why you got to do two silent letters at the end why not add four or five macombi it's macombi macombi it might be that's what i'm thinking what'd you say you can't exclamation point a second yeah it's like if you send a text and it's got three sentences in it

Everyone can't have an exclamation point. It's too excited. It's like all bold. Yeah. You're like, you speak like this. If I'm texting a girl, I don't mind going, hey, name, exclamation point. Tell me her name. But if I'm texting a guy, I don't even like to go period. I like to go comma or no punctuation. Yeah. Can't be too excited. Because a period seems like you're, hey, Brian.

Hello, Brian. But why are you excited about talking to a girl? I just feel like it's fun to be excited about talking about everyone. More flirty? Yeah. Not flirty, but you're just like, hey. And if you said that to a dude, a dude, it's too much. Yes. What? Yeah. Hey, John. I don't know. I never know when, like how far into the texting, like we just started texting today. How far in can I start putting out emojis?

It depends on the emoji, I think. Okay, man to man. I'm not starting. I don't think day one I'm dropping an emoji in. No. Too early. Unless you've done something. This is my rule. Unless you do something dumb and you want to give the face palm emoji. That can be in there. I think that's okay. I just put in parentheses and I type face palm just so it's very clear. And to face. Yeah, emoji too early. It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I think you're...

I never sent an emoji like to my like agent. Yeah. I don't think I have either. Like to your lawyer. No, I can't send an emoji. There's a lot of periods. What's going on? Yeah. Your lawyer. I can read the next one. Jen McBride.

I think you might be surprised to learn how many non-Christians listen to you guys. Oh, here we go. Appreciate your humor, banter, and camaraderie. And enjoy not having to hear about politics. Keep it up. And yes, Brian is underrated.

His one-liners keep me from laughing, even when the rest of you ignore him. Not from laughing. Yeah, sorry. I don't know. Slip of the tongue here. Take it back, dude. Take it back. Brian is underrated. His one-liners keep me laughing, even when the rest of you ignore him.

Jeez. I thought that was going to be a clip. You ruined it. I'm sorry. You did that on purpose? No, I didn't. I messed up. I think subliminally you did. All right, I'll do it again. There's no from. I know. I don't know what happened. It's not like the from was above or there's no from. It's just what he was thinking. It's the way they did Brian is underrated dash. I got so confused. That's tricky. Lacombe would not support that.

You want me to take over reading? Well, there was, it was, you should have, there was, it was like there was, I don't even know where this is. Oh, yeah. And yes, comma, Brian is underrated, dash, there's too much going on. A lot's going on. It's their fault. It's Jen's fault. Of all times for there to be too much going on. Brian is underrated. His one-liners keep me laughing even when the rest of you ignore him. And then Aaron can edit that together so that that really works out.

The damage is done. I'm sorry about that. I am sorry about that. What's the most... Sorry, keep going. Kevin Daly. Wait, what's the most in... Because all you guys... I mean, me probably the most. Not because I'm more Christian, but I talk about more. What's the most... Sometimes I get into something Christian and all my audience is not Christian, so I got to explain the story a little bit. So if you don't know, you still get the joke.

I was like, we got Caleb out here that's allergic to milk and honey. You're like, everybody gets that. Oh, he's like a Samson. What does everybody know about the Bible? David and Goliath, Jesus, disciples, like in America. That's about as far as they go. I never do any jokes like that on stage. I do talk about it on my podcast, but so I don't.

never i don't know i never doesn't like to share anything about church or anything i well you know i didn't really grow up to like in the church i'm like more religious than my parents oh yeah you know i'm annoying to them about it yeah you know so um they're like never spoke about it but no i talk about it all the time you do oh yeah but i try to you have a bunch

I have a few. Yeah, about certain denominations or something like that or no? Are you trying to steal my jokes? I tried to buy one, a joke from you one time. You said I couldn't have it. I got one now about how dudes in the Bible never give each other nicknames. Yeah. Like Simon the leper. Yeah. Jesus healed him and they still call him Simon the leper. He's probably like, can we not call me Simon the healed? I'm healed, guys. Sorry, leppy. Yeah.

I imagine if you have leprosy, people are never quite comfortable with you. Yeah. Even if you... I'm cured. Yeah. In the Bible, they don't have blood tests. He's like, I'm cured. You're like... Yeah, you've got no symptoms right now. Yeah. I don't have... Yeah, sure. All right. I did Dusty's podcast a few weeks back, and it was on the Bible. Oh, we didn't start talking about this, Dusty. And before I left...

Ruth, my wife, said, you know, are you going to get anything too serious already? And I'm like, no, I just got some fun Bible facts here. Then I get to Dusty's house and I said, I don't even want to get anything too deep. He's like, nah, not me. I ain't up here judging people and their salvation. We both agreed that. Three minutes in the podcast. Indeed. Dusty's like, Brian, I know you agree with me that Jesus is the only way to heaven. I'm like, oh, gosh. Anyway, you know, Jesus drank AG1. You're like, wow, this is interesting. Interesting.

I also noticed, Dusty, you pointed it out with McComb, but four of these first five people don't need that last letter in their name. Interesting. Wait a minute, you read the fifth one, I don't guess. I don't know what you mean, though, I guess. Well, like, Jen McBride, she doesn't need that E. Well, that'd be Jen McBrid. McBrid. McBrid. Like a McRib. Okay. Read the one from Kevin Dale. Kevin Daly. Kevin Daly.

I mean, silent, you know, I got a thing with silent letters. Yeah, because you still have to see it. Let me tell you, before you get into that, let me tell you about this. Better help. Oh, there you go. Do you ever feel like life, you couldn't be, do you ever feel like you couldn't be your full self, John? Like you were hiding behind a mask? That's dusty, dude. Yeah.

All the time, Brian. October is the season for wearing masks and costumes, but some of us feel like we wear a mask and hide more often than we want to. Therapy can help you learn to accept all parts of yourself so you can finally take off the mask. Therapy is good for everyone. It's not just for people who have experienced major trauma. It's helpful for learning coping skills, how to set boundaries, and it empowers you to be the best version of yourself. I feel like you wrote me into a major trauma thing. Yeah, he looked at you. Well, I'm just...

And now it says host ad lib. So, John, do you agree with this? Therapy is important. Very important. Yeah, very important. I think it's good to talk to somebody. You know what I mean? If you got nobody to talk to, talk to somebody. Exactly. And a lot of times your buddy, it's nice to talk to them, but they don't have good advice. That's right. My friend that I was just telling you about earlier, he was telling me about talking to his dad about some stuff he was going with. And his dad was like, I don't know, man. And it's like, well, that's not helpful.

Yeah, that's right. You're out of here. If you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try. It's entirely online, designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule.

Okay, Kevin Daly. When it comes to being great at stand-up comedy, is storytelling more important than quick wit? Are there any comedians who are great on stage but not that quick or funny offstage? Or does being a great stand-up comedian require both?

I don't think it requires both. I don't either. I think you can be a really great storyteller. You can be really quick on stage and be very funny. I think if you have both, that's a real plus. Are people sometimes disappointed with you guys offstage that meet you? No, I mean that meet you and like, I'll think your guys are going to just be on all the time and then you're not?

I have had that because I, you know, sometimes I just, you know, I'm serious out here. Yeah. But you know what? Like, I had the show in Macon on Friday, right? And I got a set that I like to do. I got all my jokes. This is what I'm going to do. But the show was a little rowdy, right? People yelled out some things. I got to interact with them in a fun way. We created some great riffs. It's the best. It was a really fun show. And it makes it a fun, unique show. Yeah. So I think if you can do both, really great. But if you can't, like...

I don't know. There's really great storytellers that probably were never doing crowd work. Yeah. And then we all know... And that's what quick wit is talking about, crowd work, right? I would think, right? Yeah. If somebody yells, I was talking about conspiracy theories, and somebody goes, yeah. I go, see, we found one. Yeah. And that was hilarious. And then I kind of went back to her. It was in...

Saginaw, Michigan on Sunday. I went back to her like, see? This joke's for you. Or like a couple times, that's what you're talking about. And it's a unique experience. It will never happen again. It only happened in Saginaw. Have you ever been surprised though, like you meet someone backstage for the first time, a comic. They're quiet, awkward, whatever. And you're like, golly, this guy. And then he goes out and just destroys. All the time. Well, I was surprised at first when that would happen. But yeah, like you say, all the time. You meet enough people like that to where you're like, nah, I get it.

And I think to me personally, I used to be the opposite. I used to try to be funny all the time. That's all I was trying to do. But I feel like when I got to do comedy enough- Professionally. Yeah, that I was like, I'm getting my outlet of laughs. I got enough for the day. Now I can just be a normal person. Nah, well, dude, see, do you ever like-

I'd still be trying to make people laugh. Well, yeah. Like at a gas station or like I would still be trying to laugh. Well, yeah. I mean. The gas station? Me and my wife. I would just chuckle about things. Yeah, the airport. Me and my wife always talk about how much I bomb at the grocery store. I always make a joke with the cashier. They're like, no. Yeah. Yeah. But I am trying. My girlfriend says the same when I bomb. Yeah. But sometimes I got it. But y'all are both, would you call yourself extroverts? No.

No. I don't know. I think it depends, but I think I'm a bit extroverted. If you're out there at the gas station trying to make people laugh, I feel like there's... No, that's just because I'm insecure. Let me see. I'll be trying to make people laugh all the time. Yeah. But like a professional, when somebody's doing something professionally, I interrupt with their work, obviously. It's probably not helpful to anyone. Well, my wife is really bad at small talk. Somebody will go...

nice dress or whatever and she she doesn't know what to say she locks up yeah she's lived in toronto where you don't talk to strangers me on the other hand i grew up in alabama and i'm like i'm ready to talk to anybody i'm ready i'm like that i'm ready to you know strike up a conversation about uh the grass and i know all the neighbors i'm always talking to the men in the neighborhood about our grass i got the worst grass amongst them all but i love to compliment their grass

I'd be into, I'd be, I think you've talked about this before, surely. I'd be into small talk. Yeah. Heavy. Heavy. And it's small talk. I got no in between. It's small talk, then real deep. That's all I got. Or the podcast with y'all two yesterday. Yeah. I'd be in the airport just chatting.

Yeah. Just chatting. Gosh, no. Well, sometimes it depends on the day. Sometimes I'm very annoyed and I don't want anybody to talk to me. That would be funny in the comments to somebody if anyone has ever met us and we bombed. Yeah. Privately.

Or like we bombed personally. Yeah. But like on stage, it was great. But then he came to the meet and greet and it was very uncomfortable. Sometimes. I don't think that would happen. I don't know. People say that about me. They do? Yeah. What do they say? They're just like, oh, I think, I don't know. Sometimes they just say, oh, he was awkward. I don't like small talk that much and I'm kind of shy off stage. So, so they-

I would say that. Well, I would say the opposite of like, has anyone ever, I think everyone, every comedian is their, the best version is the stage version. Oh yeah. So like, I would say some comics are like, can I meet him? I go, honestly, no,

I would recommend you not. Yeah. Like you just think that of him and just like. Talk about Nate. No. I mean, just say it. I don't know. I know a lot of comics like that. Sometimes people. Probably me included. People invite me out and that's what I'll say to them. I go, nah, you just saw the most fun version of me. You don't want. And it's not going to get more fun. Yeah. We'll get to the bar and I'm in the corner not talking to anyone. Yeah. Because it's loud and I'm sharing my voice. You don't want that. Yeah.

You want the best. Now, I'll dip in in an exchange in public. But if I sat next to someone on a plane, I would never talk to them. Never. Yeah. I like to, you know. But you'll chat it up at the airport. Oh, yeah. Because it can be quick. You can move. You don't want to start a conversation. You stand and wait for your bag. Where are you guys headed to? Oh, golf clubs? Oh, yeah. What's your favorite? Yeah. You ever played Augusta National? Just, yeah.

I don't even make eye contact with people I'm sitting next to on a plane. I mean, yeah. Because if the conversation starts, it's hard to shut it down. I was at an aisle seat today, across the aisle from me. I look over. Lady is making direct eye contact. I don't know if she's looking out the window. Do you look like this? But she's like, I was like, oh. And then I looked at her later and she was still doing it. Too much. Right at you. Yeah, I don't think she knew me.

I just, I don't know what was going on. What about the lady right here beside you? She was in the, like across the aisle. Across the aisle, okay. I was like, but she could have been looking out the window, but it seemed like she was looking directly at me. I was like, that's uncomfortable. I think it's admirable that you're friends with your neighbors and I've never been friends with,

I've never wanted to talk. I just want to go about my way. My neighbors across the street though. I'm like, I need to get to know them. I invited them to my show at Zany's like a year ago. That probably wouldn't be the way. Hey, come to my show. I've always,

All my neighbors have gone to my shows. Nah, I'm not going to do that. Well, you're right. Dusty was on that show. So then the next time I see them after the show, they're like, man, that Dusty was funny, wasn't he? And at first I'm like, yeah. They know you. No, they don't. That's the thing. We're trying to get to know each other. So now every time I see them, they'll say, when's your next show? They're basically just waiting for me to get done talking so they can then tell me.

I saw where Dusty's coming December 18th. They follow. They're huge Dusty fans. That's what we bonded over now is their love for Dusty. Well, you got a good neighborhood. Yeah. Good taste. Always said that. Got people with good taste. Yeah. All right. Matt Graves. I like to think Matt Graves is a doctor.

Matt Graves is a maybe chiropractor. Dr. Graves. My wife and I went to see Tammy Pescatelli. Shout out. At one point, a lady's phone rang and she answered it. Tammy stopped her set and said, are you seriously on the phone? She grabbed the lady's phone and told the person, she's getting arrested. She's going to need bail money. It made me wonder, what's the craziest thing that's happened to all of you during a show and how did you handle it?

I haven't had anything too crazy. Oh, man. Power went out. I told that story a few months ago in Huntsville. Halfway through my set, I did the last 30 minutes in the dark with no mic. But my crowd certainly aren't getting wild and yelling yee-yee. Yee-yee? Yeah, people yell that out sometimes. Oh, they do it yours? Yeah. I mean... Yee-yee.

I mean, a guy passed... We've had some people, like, some emergency, like, medical things. I've had some pass-outs, too. Yeah, that's pretty... Yeah. Yeah, it's, like, once in a lifetime. That's every... I mean, one time... Okay. I don't think I've ever told this story, but I was in at the Little Rock... What's that? Looney Bin? Rough Club. And the guy...

I like them there, but it's a rough club. I don't think it exists anymore. I think it does. Does it? Yeah. There's no way. Yeah, it still does. I like them. I want that to be clear. I do like them, but that's a rough club. The only thing that I thought of is, and I thought of this because this guy just messaged me recently. I was working with a comedian. I'm not making this up.

He had no arms and no legs. Okay. Why are you laughing? I don't know. I'm laughing because you're saying I'm not making this up. That would be a weird thing to make up. Okay, so he wasn't...

He wasn't like, it wasn't from like an accident. He just was like, so, but like. That would be a weird accident that you lost your arms and your legs. I don't know. Okay. So, but he was like, you know, you get there and he's like, this is your feet. And he had like a wheelchair and he could get around fine. And he had like someone with him or something. So I'm not looking at Dusty for this.

Okay, so he goes up. This is at the 121 mark if we want to cut this. Go ahead. Just for editing purposes. Okay, so he goes up before me on the first show and is crushing. Because mentally, he's fine. Yeah. He's making all these jokes. It was probably one of the funniest sets I've ever heard. And at the end of it, he goes...

and thank you guys for coming out to the show. I'm like, as a middle, by the way, I've like overcome my like obstacles to like pursue my dreams. And like, God has a plan for everyone's life. And just because something bad happens to you doesn't mean he doesn't, you know, and standing ovation, obviously, which I thought was offensive. But so afterward, I was like, they all loved him. And I was buddies, you know, comics, like,

Like our buddy, we joke with each other. Yeah. Like we're all friends pretty much. We joke with each other about everything. I'm joking with him like backstage and he's killing and I'm like, I can't follow this. I can't follow it. So I put my arm in my shirt. On stage? Before I came out. And I was not popular at this time. So like now, you know, I have two arms. But it was like, no one knew him. No one knew me.

so I put my arm in my shirt I had one arm and I was like I'm gonna go out there and everybody's gonna be like this is the funniest thing this is the funniest thing what's happening to all these comics

what show is this it was it was probably in 2010 yeah maybe 2012 okay at the little rock i never forget that room i never is that balcony on the outside you can kind of oh yeah and i was like this is gonna i mean he got a standing ovation this is gonna blow the roof off this place everybody's gonna be like because we were buddies yeah and so i went out there and i was like i had one arm in my and i was like

Thank you so much. Just me and me and Brett. His name is Brett. Me and Brett are out here like overcoming our disabilities to like be to like deliver comedy to you guys. And I just want to say thank you. And it was dead silent. Dead. And I still have an hour. Oh, you're the headliner. I'm a headliner. Wait. I thought you were doing it like a spot. When did you take your arm out?

Yeah. Did you keep it in the whole hour? Well, you get no laughs. You're like, I got to keep this in. I got to stick it in the hour. And I have no material about it. Yeah. He's never talked about it one hour. Didn't even mention it. He didn't bring it up the whole time. So I was like, well, I don't know where to go because it was just bombing. It was bombing. Yeah.

I sell my arm, but they sell my arm and I go, and then I go, I pulled my arm out. I got, ah, I'm just kidding. We have to find somebody that was there. We surely someone that this podcast is big enough. They were like, I was at that show. I need to find this person somehow and then verify. This is a true story. Oh,

Because then people were like, you know how like, I was like, I'm just kidding. I got both of my arms, which is like even worse because they were like, now this is even, this is so, we just had like a heart to heart connection with this comedian and I'm just fully able and then bombing. That's the only time I've ever walked like people left.

oh so they did get mad about it yes because i said because it was like a it turned out that it was like a big like military there's a lot of military there and they had like experience with like losing limbs yeah how was i supposed to know that maybe not what's his last name east burn watch this is gonna be true east east men east burn comedian brett east men yeah that's that'd be it

Wikipedia. Go down to the second one. No, it's not a brand. Eastburn. Hold on. Let me see. Eastburn. Try Eastburn. Just to verify this is true. B-U-R-N? Yep. Oh, yeah, baby. Yes. Yes. Yes, dude. Oh, yeah. He opened for me. Yeah, comedian and motivational speaker. And it was probably the funniest thing I've ever heard. Wow. That's a tough middle act.

At least warn me. Yeah. Yeah. Or be like Colonel Sanders. Yeah. Yeah. What did he say when the show was over? He thought it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. I like that this guy is dressed as Colonel Sanders and it says comedy has no color. And it's like, what are we? Laughter has no color. I'm going to comment on the, on the, on the, you're going to go with a has no, and you're not going to mention the arms or the legs.

one of the funniest one of the funniest i mean one of the funniest comics that i've ever worked for worked with yeah yeah he was dying laughing and that's very sad i don't i'm not trying to make fun of that guy no i hope i never i don't think so he has a great sense of humor about it yeah yeah yeah but i was that it was just i mean somebody yelled something out that i mean no one yells out to my shows ever and it was like they're like hey it's not funny or something like that oh so

And I was not prepared for that. It's hard to recover in the Little Rock Looney Bin. Yeah, there you go. Even on a good night. Yeah, it's hard to recover. Yeah. Once you lose them, they're gone. And if they're like, that's not funny, and you're like, it just feels like you just want to go, that's pretty apparent. You've all made me well aware that this is not funny. And I appreciate what you've done for me. This helps. This helps. Yeah. Let's give it up for the troops. And now I just got, you know, 58 more minutes to do. And yeah.

Otherwise, I'm not getting paid. Yeah. Well, people don't understand that if you're us, in a lot of ways, they already know us before they come. Now. But we've all spent 10, 12 years doing that where you're fighting against them from the start. Yes. Now you can just go be like, introducing John Chris. You're like, what up, everybody? And they already know what we think about everything. So they already kind of know. But when you're the headliner and they've never heard you before,

Yeah. You got to win them over. I don't think I'd do it again. If somebody said you want to start over, I don't think I would. Would you? I don't know. I, in a way I kind of miss that. I kind of, cause I, I liked featuring. I liked going out and no one knew who you were. Yeah. And you just being like, who is it? I still got that. I mean, you know, uh, like the money is obviously better, uh, this way, but I like, I liked featuring.

It's a nice, comfortable spot. Yeah. Yeah, you don't have to worry about ticket sales or nothing. Yeah. They just go in there and... Yeah. Yeah, you show up and they go, ticket sales aren't looking good. I'm like, it doesn't affect me. I'll still take those chicken fingers. And you go, I'm not... My name's not on the marquee. Yeah. And for people who don't know, featuring's the middle act. Oh, yeah. There's a host, MC, then the feature, and then the headliner. And it's like, when you're the middle act, it's like the host goes out. It doesn't matter if the host bombs or does well. He's out there for 10 minutes, 15 minutes sometimes.

And then I was out. Off to the races. Yeah. Hot 30. Then I'd go sit outside, have a cigar while the headliner was on stage. Whatever was going on there is not my problem. Because you don't have to...

David Monteith.

Also, this other guy's name is, I was not going to read that one. David, is it Monteith, you think? It's got to be Monteith. Monteith. This is an unbelievable story. A few years back, my ex-wife and I decided to date again. On our first date, we had dinner and then went to see Dusty at the Greenville, South Carolina Comedy Center. Let me say similar to the Little Rock, similar type vibe. My ex kept laughing, her shrill, high-pitched laugh in all the wrong places. That's unbelievable.

The club would be so silent waiting on the punchline and she would just burst out laughing. It was so embarrassing. Needless to say, things didn't work out because I can't deal with that.

Wow. Listen, I'm going to go ahead and say this, David Monteith. I saved you some trouble, bud. And that was the second time around. Yeah, because you... How did you not know it the first time? Because it's like you never made her laugh, and I think she was laughing at me being awkward or something. Yeah. Wait, hold on, hold on. It's my ex-wife and I decided to date again. It says ex-currently.

It's not he divorced her and then started dating her again. My ex-wife and I decided to date again. Oh, okay. Different people. I thought you meant they got back together. Oh, that's what I'm thinking too. No, no, no, no. Him and his ex-wife went, my ex kept laughing. So yeah, he went back on a date with his ex-wife. Yeah, yeah, he went back out with his ex-wife. They got divorced and then they decided. No, it's his ex now, but they were married then. I think they were divorced. Yeah.

And they were like, let's... They were like, you know what? You remember when we got married, how fun that was? Let's date again. Let's try that. And then they came to my show, and I was so funny to her that she was laughing at times when the rest of the audience weren't laughing. So you're on her side. I feel like me and her had a real connection. Mm-hmm.

Not him. Was he jealous? Do you think he was jealous? And David Monteith was like, I can't deal with this. Yeah, laughing at the wrong time. Because I don't remember this. I was just in Greenville, and I had some wild shows, but I don't remember a particular. I think I had a guy pass out at that show. Does that qualify? Do you tell that to the lawyer as a reason for the split? Does he sign off on that? I guess it depends on how big of a fan the lawyer is of me.

Yeah, he's like, let me look up this guy's clips. Yeah, yeah. And if he likes them, it's stuff. He's like, oh, I'm on. This checks out. This checks out. Unreal. Yeah. You don't remember this? I remember being there the last time, but I don't remember a lady with a shrill high-pitched laugh. But I did record all the sets. Maybe I'll go back and watch. I mean, if you go to, on a date,

with someone to a comedy show and you're like dying and they're not or they're dying and you're not it's done yeah it's done if everybody's laughing oh that's hilarious yeah if you're like

You didn't think that was funny? Yeah. It's over. It's a wrap. Yeah, I think so too. This is what I remember about the Greenville Comedy Zone. Upstairs. Underneath is a dance club. And I would come in that way. And the floor was so sticky, I thought it was going to rip my shoes off as I walked across the floor. Yeah. That's Greenville's version of Jason Aldean's. Okay. Yeah.

All right. We got about 20 minutes left to get into our topic. Oh, we do? Yeah. Oh. Is that all right? Yeah. I didn't know how the podcast went. The topic is usually pretty irrelevant. Sometimes we get to it. Sometimes we don't. Well, I did a lot of work on it. So thanks, guys. Yeah, let's hear it.

Appreciate the way you feel about it. I'm into it. Let's hear it. It's NASCAR. You guys are both big NASCAR guys. I wore this hat because of it. Now, I feel like with NASCAR and country music, y'all are the same. Dusty was 80s and 90s NASCAR country music. You're more modern NASCAR and more modern country music, right? I'm more of the next-gen car, the restrictor plate NASCAR. You're a Post Malone kind of country guy, though, right? Yeah. Oh, you hate it. He likes NASCAR drivers with a lot of tattoos. Oh, dude.

I started seeing you a bunch on Twitter. Have you discussed that? Yeah, we did. Oh, you have discussed that. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you said Post Malone. That's what made me think about that. Oh, yeah, yeah. I was like, I was texting Mike. I was like, what's Dusty doing? Yeah, I mean, it was just like. This is off track, sorry. I was just having some fun with Aaron. And then I think the country music news was having a slow day. Yeah, yeah. And they got on to you. Yeah.

So you guys are both big NASCAR fans, though. In the 90s, my family was big NASCAR family. We went to Talladega, Atlanta. I've been to Bristol. We watched all the races. We all had our own NASCAR driver. I had Kyle Petty. My mom was Alan Kowicki. My uncle was Bill Elliott. My cousin was Davey Allison. Nothing better. You all watched together? My brother-in-law was Dale Earnhardt. None of us liked Dale Earnhardt.

He was a real... He was a bully. Yeah, in our household, he was like the bad guy of racing. And then my brother-in-law came in as a big Dale Earnhardt fan. Nobody liked Jeff Gordon. It was, you know, my...

My aunt liked Mark Martin. My sister liked, I forget, but there was some, I don't think there was an Ernie Irvin fan, but I remember him. Everybody had merch. Everybody had merch. I wore a lot of Kyle Petty t-shirts to school. I remember I was in a choral group. I was a,

class that you had to take in elementary school and they ask us to wear something nice and my mom put me in my newest Kyle Petty t-shirt. I respect that. And it was like Kyle Petty's car in space so it had a lot of stars on it but it looked like paint splotches. Oh yeah. So...

That's game over. Yeah. I got a couple pictures, school pictures and Kyle Petty t-shirts. I know Kyle. Do you? I was on his show. Yeah. I love Kyle Petty. I mean, I like Mellow Yellow. He was on your show, right? Yeah. I was on his show, that car show. Oh. Was he on my show? Oh, he hosted a show where y'all went to eat at a restaurant. Yeah. Yeah, I was a big Kyle Petty fan. I saw him wreck at Talladega. Oh, man. Pretty sad. Yeah, it's... It's...

I would say for the, I was in Saginaw, Michigan in a Hampton Inn from about noon to six. And I would, I would turn on the NASCAR race before an NFL game. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.

That's impressive. So is that your favorite sport? To watch. I mean, I know everything. I feel like some people like to watch sports now. They don't like to watch it. They just like to follow. Yeah, yeah. The storylines. They don't even watch the game. I'm like that. Yeah. I like to watch Alabama, and then I like to just follow what's going on with stuff. Yeah, I like the NBA like that. I don't want to watch a game, but I want to watch like, oh, Steph Curry and LeBron James, and they hate this guy, and he's out, and they're talking about it. Colin Cowherd used to be my favorite.

I love it. There's no drama like Colin Cowher. All business. And I loved it. Yeah. NASCAR, right? If you ever went to it, you would be like, this is my favorite sport. Yeah. For sure. When I went to Bristol, I was like, I'm about to watch this every weekend. Yeah, yeah. I didn't, but I felt like that. I'm going to watch this every weekend.

I've been to one race. It was with Nate. He was doing those drive-in tours. And we were in Kansas. We went to a race at the track in Kansas. NASCAR race or dirt track? NASCAR. Eric Stonestreet got us tickets. It was indoor in a box. It was kind of nice. Oh, you were inside watching it in the box. It was really cold that day. I think we weren't cold.

So the loud is what it's all about. Yeah. The smell and the gas tires. Yeah. I mean, when I was a kid, I'd go to these Talladega races and it was bring your own beer. People would have their coolers out there and they had this, I got a picture and they, we showed it on this podcast before, but people have their shirts off and they're like whipping the shirts around as the cars are coming. And then at the end of the night, they're dumping all the water out of their coolers because it's too much to carry. Well, do you think if some people like, like, uh,

i'm trying to think of a good example like crocs if you're like are are you wearing those sincerely or ironically you know what i'm saying like oh like a high schooler that goes to david lipscomb that's wearing crocs like oh they're wearing them i brought but like your uncle that like works outside he's wearing them he doesn't get that they're like like nascar race you're like

are you some people go ironically yeah they're like lol right look at this right and some people are like we're here and you don't know the difference yeah that's true growing up you would go to them or you would watch it sincerely yeah i mean it was but now you you would still go with but you're like you kind of understand the yeah now i'd go for some you know it's still some people watching and yeah yeah and we're like it's like this county fair yeah yeah

That's what's best about it. But Bristol, what was so great about Bristol is that you see the whole track. Yeah. And it's just really fun. The world's largest coliseum. Yeah. Still, yeah. So you sponsor a car. I sponsor a late model racing team. Dylan Bates, baby in the 91. You're my cousin. Oh, yeah.

He's at the National Fairgrounds Speedway, I think, in a month. Okay. That's a good time. So the car's painted like that? Yeah, the car looks like that. It's updated for this year. That's two years ago. Oh, that's two years ago. John Chris Racing. Yeah, baby. That's a good time at those races, man. And you just go when you can? Yeah, I sponsor them. Then I go whenever. If I can go to the race, I'll go. Yeah, they're usually there on Sundays. And where are you? Like in the pit?

pit crew i'm on the pit crew i've been changing tires bro you have there's my other car yeah where uh which one are you that one below this yeah that's fine is that really yours yeah yeah that is that's cool that's my sister had a mustang like that i have that car ironically that's a convertible too no it's like my sister had that in a convertible uh not ironically but you know at the time it was uh it was

That was an up-to-date model. Yeah. The Fox body? Yeah, it was a convertible. Certain cities in the country pull up in one of those. My neighborhood. Yeah.

Now, let me ask you this, Dusty. I never followed racing, but my family certainly did. And why is it that Jeff Gordon, they hated Jeff Gordon? It's because he was a pretty boy? I think he's from California. So they didn't feel like he really fit in with racing. Yeah. Jeff Foxworthy would say the problem with him is he enunciated when he talked. Yeah. They couldn't understand him. Yeah. Who is this guy?

He was a pretty boy. Yeah. In the DuPont car. Yeah. Always up front. 24. Always up front. Yeah. He was good. Yeah. He was very good. Unbelievable driver. Good looking dude. Yeah. Oh, that too. Great set of hair. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Do you think drivers are athletes?

100 oh yeah yeah i mean you know the driver dick trickle would smoke a cigarette as he went around in the caution there's video of him smoking a cigarette in the caution well that doesn't know it are you know that doesn't help your story i'm saying but the the you know it's like if you've ever even just driven real fast on the interstate it's like it requires a lot of like attention and you gotta you know what's the fastest you've ever driven the interstate

I don't know, 120, I guess. I don't know. I don't like to. And that would have been. Probably 125, 130. Something like that. I don't like that either. I don't enjoy that. I'm not trying to. You know they pee in the seat, though.

I'll do that at the, at the rate. I mean, you're in the, you're in a car for five hours and you're drinking a ton of water. Yeah. They just, and then they just like washes through them, I guess. I read that. Yeah. Sometimes they'll douse themselves. I read pretty quick when they get out, I make it obvious. Oh yeah. I would imagine a lot of athletes do that though. Huh? I mean like football, football field. I mean, what are you going for a pee break?

About half time you could. And they drink a lot. Yeah. They drink a lot of water. They burn a lot of sweat. Maybe they burn a lot off. Yeah. Yeah. Now, I read that you have to be 200 pounds. Did you know that? I didn't know that. And if you're not 200 pounds, then they'll add weight to make you 200. In the car? The car has to be. Yeah, those guys aren't all over 200 pounds.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won Talladega yesterday. He's not 200 pounds. No, they add the weight. Danica Patrick wasn't 200 pounds. Yeah, that's the example they gave. Danica Patrick. But if a driver weighs more than 200, like Tony Stewart, the weight of the car might have to be reduced to satisfy the total weight of 3,450 pounds. Oh, so they add or remove weight to your car to make it illegal. Cutting weight. Who's the greatest NASCAR driver of all time?

Well, Richard Petty has the most titles, I think, but I do think it's Dale Earnhardt. I mean, he, he would have had the most, right. Had he not died. Yeah. Oh yeah. I mean, I only know everybody told, I only know the old guys, but I mean, that was that 2001. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody would, would tells me now that they go when it was like 20 laps to go. Yeah. He was coming for you. Yeah. And they would say that they would say that with like a,

like a tear in their eye yeah like you knew that guy was almost like jordan when it's like the last second you're like you knew he was gonna shoot and you still couldn't stop clutch yeah yeah that guy was coming yeah that was yeah and you were like he's way in the back of the pack and you can just see him i was at uh the brickyard in indy this year watching uh brad keselowski and you and you could just see he had fresh tires and you could just see if he had enough laps left

you're like, he's going to get them. Yeah. And that is nothing better to watch. Yeah. You're like, your guy is coming. Gosh, it's unbelievable. I remember Dale Earnhardt's death. I don't follow NASCAR, but that was such a big thing. And I read where they made so many safety changes that they haven't had a death since.

Interesting. Yeah, I guess they haven't. They did that harness for the neck and all that stuff that they implemented. And then Michael Waltrip won that race. Poor guy was his first win ever. Well, you know who was on the call? Darryl Waltrip. Darryl Waltrip is...

Dad. Oh, I know Darryl Waldrop a little bit. That's his dad? I thought it was his brother. His brother? I think they might be brothers. Oh, Michael Waldrop is who I know a little bit. He has all the Ford dealerships. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, we know each other on the internet. Oh, you do? He says we're having a good time and stuff. He stole it from you. Yeah. Well, he does it. He credits me. Oh, he does. Yeah. If you go back and watch that call, that television call, it is...

Yeah. Of Michael winning. Of Michael winning and his brother calling it and Dale. It was the last lap of Daytona. Jeez. But did they... That's like you going out on your Netflix special or something like that. Yeah. Really? Daytona is the signature track and the last lap. I'm scared to film another special. Sorry. Well, you mentioned you had one earlier. Yeah.

So according to NASCAR attendance statistics, it's lost 50% of its live audience and TV viewership from its peak in 2005.

What are you looking for? A rebuttal? What do you have to say? I mean, Dusty's a perfect example. He didn't watch anymore. I think that, yeah, there's like what a lot of people say is there's like too much money in it now, right? So it's like you don't get a lot of the grittier NASCAR drivers that you used to get. Yeah, because it's like there's too much money involved. And that's my fear with college football is that sort of thing. It's going away. Money was always involved, obviously, but it's like –

Well, now I think there's a lot of money involved and the sponsors now have more power. So like Dale Earnhardt, everybody wanted to – okay, like me, I guess. Yeah, everybody wanted –

to sponsor his car. And he was the king. And everybody's trying to put money up this way. If you're one of these mid-tier drivers, the money is coming from Pennzoil or whoever. And then if they disapprove of something you say or something you tweet or something, then you're done. And you want to keep racing again. So all these big personalities...

Another Dale Earnhardt can't really come. Corporations are ruining the country. Come on. They're ruining it. And you just got to let it, hey, if you're going to sign this deal, you got to let them say whatever they want. Let them fight. Let them smoke cigarettes and cautions. Yeah. All this stuff. Yeah. It makes me want to sponsor like a real renegade driver.

I mean, I don't have that kind of money. I don't have Pennzoil money. Oh, yeah. You can come on the back of our car. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The John Chris Dusty Slade 91 car. Yeah. Driven by Dylan Bates. Dusty, what do you think about this? People have complained and said it's maybe conspiratorial, some of these caution flags. Sometimes they suggest that the race is being manipulated, that the intention is not safety, as NASCAR claims, but closer races.

Yeah, I mean, I think it's that way with all sports and some of these calls that they make. Like, you do a football all the time. It's like you don't call holding, and then all of a sudden big play happens, and you're like, oh, hold. And sometimes you see the hold, and you go, yeah, that affected the play. But other times you're like, that didn't have any effect on it. It's a weak call, but you've completely changed the momentum of this game. Yeah.

To make sure, like the socialism. Yeah. To make sure it's all... Yeah, you want to make sure that... What you want at the end of the game is people watching. Yeah. If it's 27 to zero, that's not a good product. Yeah. And they're going to change to another sport. Or you want a team to move forward that has a bigger fan base. Yeah. And send it more exciting story. I mean, every NASCAR race in the last... All year, it's...

three laps to go somebody cautions or something yeah then they bring everybody back together like never seen this before three laps to you know it's a three laps to the finish and everybody's locked in because green flag racing is what that this this the nashville track is is not good because everybody just gets spread out and you just go for three hours you're just circling now the atlanta this is a little insider but they repaved it made it more you could catch up and

And you can fall back. So it used to be a very, very boring race. They repaved it. Now it's awesome. Okay. And what they don't want is just...

they want some wrecks some people passing they want parody yeah yeah and that's why the sponsors need to loosen up that's what we all loosen up all want we all want a little trash talk a little bit that's what i i uh you know i love a press conference where a little trash talk happens they say fight they say they should bring back fighting but to do it like hockey where you can fight until you go to the ground yeah which is which is an insane rule i love it in nascar

No, they have it in hockey. Yeah. You can fight standing up. Oh, you're saying bring it back in hockey. And as soon as they go to the ground, split it. Yeah. They should bring that to NASCAR. If you go, the other guy, if you're both standing. Baseball, if you drop the glove, all right, it's on. If you don't drop the glove, then you can't fight. Yeah. Do you think they need air conditioning in the cars? No. Yeah, the way they have the cool outfits.

They run ice water through their shirts. They have little veins in there. Was it F1 that was talking about putting... We talked about this last time you were putting AC in the cars. Oh, yeah. The F1. I don't like F1. They act like they're better than everybody. You got an air conditioner. You're no longer in the elements. Yeah. I went to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. They're not athletes. Yes. They're not athletes. I went to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, North Carolina. I was there with Nate, one of his shows. Have you been there?

They let you do a pit crew, change tires, stuff like that, race somebody. They show all the different tracks, all the different... Turns out you're just working at a body shop. I got lost. This is how they do it. Why are my hands greasy? Why is this the Toyota Corolla? I've been here for eight hours. Get a paycheck at the end. Did you watch the video of how NASCAR started?

I know it was from, I didn't see a video, from Moonshine running. Moonshine. Yeah. Running the Moonshiners in, was it all over the South? North Carolina. Yeah. They would stock these cars and make them outrun the cops. Oh, yeah. Yeah. There's a song called Thunder Road. My dad used to sing that song. Great song. Who sings it? I don't know. My dad sang it. And then once Prohibition ended, they would still do it, but outrun the tax collector. Unreal. Unreal.

And do you think F1 or IndyCar racing has a story like that? I don't know. No. Get out of IndyCar racing and F1 racing and come over to Cup racing because that's the best there is. Now, what's the difference between Cup racing and the one you sponsor? We're like the minor leagues. What's it called? We're like the minor leagues.

late model super late model race race team we race it like uh fairground speedways and smaller i mean some of the nascar guys come down to our races sometimes to race against robert mitchum there you go ballad of thunder rub great yeah you didn't want to not have that one yeah yeah that's the what you gotta pull out the cell phone for that yeah yeah well if you know aaron would have looked it up for me oh i'm sorry you got a lot going on i'm sorry yeah we gotta wrap it up here um

Is there anything else about NASCAR? I'm going to go. Oh, there was a night race that they did in the 90s. And then there's a poster of it. And you have the night race. And it has all the NASCAR drivers in it. And I was at the restaurant in McMinnville, Tammy's. And they had that. We used to have that in our trailer. And they had that at Tammy's. And I was like, me and my mom were in there. We got real excited about it. Because the night race. And we knew all those guys on there. We knew everybody.

And we're going to go to the night race. Yeah, it was really fun. I told my agent, and we got a couple, we might have to sell some more tickets to get to this level, but I want to go to Thursday, Friday, Saturday, do shows, and then Sunday, fly private to the NASCAR race, and then go home. And he goes, well...

We got some work to do, bud. Yeah. Yeah, I can't fly. I have nowhere near that. Oh, like every week, that's your schedule. I would like to do that. I like that. Yeah. And NASCAR... Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Why not just try to get your shows in the city where...

Just route the whole tour? Yeah, like your last show ends in that city. Because every Sunday they have a race, right? Every Sunday, like 38 weeks a year. Then you don't even need to fly. I'll just end up there. You're like a NASCAR head or something, like a dead head. What would it be? Yeah, and then they're just redneck. What do they call them? Yeah.

I go to every race. That'd be sweet. Yeah. All right. We're talking about where this weekend. Oh yeah. I'll go first then while you're looking yours up. Oh, well I know though. All right, go ahead. Uh, Friday I'm going to be in, uh,

Fayetteville, Arkansas. Very exciting. First time. I don't know. I don't know. I'm at a theater. I've never been to Northwest Arkansas and not done the Grove. And this is my first time doing a theater in Fayetteville. Fayetteville is where I wrote my cowgirls coffee joke. That's on my special.

So it's Friday night, Friday night. So you won't be competing against football, Arkansas, no backs Saturday night. I'll be in Springfield, Missouri. My first time being there, not doing blue room, uh, which makes me sad. It makes me sad on both. I love those towns and I love those clubs, but I'm, I'll be doing theaters. Yeah. You're at the Walton art center. Yeah. That's unbelievable room.

Yeah. Right on Dixon, too. Yeah, I'm pumped. That's a great room. You should go to that show. I'm pumped, yeah. And then Springfield's going to be great, too. I always have a great time in Springfield, so it's going to be great. John, you know where you're at? I'm at, we're announcing, when does this pod come out? Wednesday. Oh, what do we do?

My next Brian Bates and friends, these guys will refuse to do it. Trying to, yeah. Uh,

When is the next one? I got bumped by Dusty. October 22nd. No, Dusty's never done it. Oh, I haven't either. That's my point. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I need to come be on it. Yeah, thanks. You guys do every... You walk down here to see shows, you don't even know what they are. Yeah. But you skip money. I try to get on to it. On October 25th, I'm at Lifeway Church in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Gosh, dude. I want to come do that show.

Buy a horse. Yes. Ride a cowboy. All right. Nothing? Wow. All right. I'm just getting warmed up two hours in. You can come to Lifeway Church if you'd like. I would love to come to that church. I haven't been in a church. I mean, I'm going to have to run it by them to see what they think of you. Don't run it by them. Oh, dude. Guest spot. Before Brian Bates comes out, we've got a little guest spot here. I'm selling my testimony. And then I come out with my arm in my shirt. Good.

I love that. You're bombing. I'm just kidding, guys. I got both arms in there. It's a joke. I wouldn't do it. You know, Aaron, maybe back next week. I can't wait to hear about Baby Olive. Me too. But we'll see. And Nate's out there killing it. Go buy those tickets for his special at the Opry. Nate's doing all right. I need them to come back. I'm ready for a break myself. Thank you.

Just hang in there, Dustin. Hang in there. But yeah, thank you very much, everybody. Come to the Nate Land Live Monday night. We're having a good time. We're having a good time. Let's go. Nate Land is produced by Nate Land Productions and by me, Nate Bargetzi, and my wife, Laura, on the Audio Boom platform. Recording and editing for the show is done by Genovations Media. Thanks for tuning in. Be sure to catch us next week on the Nate Land Podcast.
