#42 Arkansas ft. Shay Mooney
01:49:55 Share

Hello, folks. Welcome to Nateland. Welcome, everybody, to the history of Nateland. I don't know. That was good. That was a good one. I've been watching you do these incredible promos. I want to go get all those things right now, by the way. So we got a guest here today, someone that people wanted to know because I've talked about you on the podcast and they think that we don't know each other.

But here we are. Here it is, dude. Shay from Dan and Shay. It's so good to meet you for the first time today. Shay Mooney from Dan and Shay. We tried to get Dan. Yeah. Was the original goal. You go, wait till you guys, wait till you meet Dan. Yeah. It's incredible. So let's get through this one. I...

Is it? I've always wanted to ask Shay. I always talk about I don't know anything about music, right? Yeah. I think people know that. But I love your music. Why is that? That was a joke. Why is that? I don't know. It's pretty good. I thought about a joke a while ago. Just to go in and go...

Shay, I have a terrible taste in music, but I love what you do. Go ahead and tell me why is that? Why do you think that is? What do you think the deal with that is? What do you think the correlation between horrible music and what you do is? And what you do. How do you guys connect? People make fun of my music choices, Shay. Yeah. And I listen to you mainly the whole time. Why do you think that is? People are furious with the music I choose to play in my car. It's always you guys. I've been listening to, honestly, I

I'm a big Dan and Shay fan. Well, thank you. Truthfully. And I've been listening to Dan and Shay radio. Yeah. And that's pretty good.

Yeah, I've liked listening to the radio that you get to bounce around. I know people do that a lot for comedy, and I'm sure way more people do it for music than comedy, but I only know my world. And then I've started doing it. I would listen to you guys, and then they play. You're like, this is a really good – I'm getting better with music is what I'm saying. Yeah, that's good, though. Yeah, that's a good progression. I haven't listened to your radio. No.

Oh, enough. Enough. That's what I was saying. That was a joke. I'm a comedian, so you got to stay with me here. That's true. I'm not quick enough. You're not. But it's, you know, I got to check out your radio station as well. I don't really know. So you're talking about like

When you pull on Dan and Shay radio, that plays other music that is kind of curated for that. Yeah, you do it because you're trying to not get any Dan and Shay stuff. And that's usually how it goes. That's how it goes. I like to listen to Dan and Shay radio. You go, I'm trying to attack the most direct thing. How do I not get this? You go, I like what Dan and Shay is trying to do. Yeah. But.

I want to hear some other people do it better. Who's gotten there already? People who have figured it out. I like to hear them. I do YouTube music and then it's Spotify and all this. You just listen and it's just music like Dane and Shay. It's a wide variety. It's Vance Joy. I like Vance Joy. That pops up on you guys. Very nice. Mix over. Then you have Darius and Brett Young and

I wonder how much people, like, in their mind, the people who are played next, they judge you based on what that is. Well, you know, it is, like...

Who are you paired with? Yeah. Because sometimes it's out of your control. If you hear a bad song, you're just like, I hate Dan and Shay. It's not even us. They suggested this to me. Dan and Shay suggested this to me. I think they're bad guys. It's who people think you compare to, which is kind of funny that we have no control over that. Yeah. And it's just being like, you like this? You probably like this. Yeah. And then you figure out. And if you go listen to it, you might hear something that you're like, oh, I can't stand that guy. And you're like, well...

You are the same. Yeah. You're the exact same. It's a real awakening that you go. They're going to start playing just bits of your comedy after. I was like, well, we clearly... That should be mixed in. This music is clearly a joke. Yeah, yeah. What did you see? His Netflix special? Oh, no. I haven't got to... I have, I have. Did they recommend other comedians after that? No. They're like, this is probably enough. They go, if you like this, I don't think you're like anything else on our platform. If you like this, it's not going to be good. We went out on a limb with this guy and...

Those other guys, they're not on here. They're not on this platform. You're by yourself. Yeah. You can go to Houston and see them in a small comedy club. They don't have specials. At a Houston's, actually, the restaurant. Yes. That's where he does most of his shows. I almost spilled this coffee on my shirt. That would have been a long day. He says it's coffee. You guys are like, oh, man, they're drinking some coffee. You had to do an early one. It's 4 p.m. So...

This is just a continuing... It just keeps going. This is not coffee. So as always, Shay, we read comments to open the podcast. As we do here. As we do here at Nateland. Welcome. You're one of the Natelanders. So first up, Torin Shanta. Torin Shanta. I teach you. I love her. You like her? Yeah. It's a guy. No, I think it's a girl. I just wish...

Torrin. Torrin would be... Torrin is a girl. Oh, Torrin sounds male to me. Really? T-O-R-R-I-N? Yeah. If it was Torah. Let's see. I teach a high school level intro to philosophy class, so I was burdened with the question, does knowing something about a topic make the episode more or less enjoyable? The

The answer is unequivocally more enjoyable. This is some big words I got through. Watching Aaron flex his college minor in basket case, read more quotes from the office than the actual philosophers, all while Nate is having absolutely none of it was unbelievable. One of my favorite episodes yet. Keep up the great work.

So yeah, they call him all crazy names. That's fantastic. Do you know what my real name is? Not now. Is it Toran? Is that you? This is him.

If we're getting a positive Brian comment, that's usually Brian. He pays me about 20 bucks to go on here sometimes. David Hartley, the episode of Gary Vee was hands down one of the most interesting podcasts I've ever heard by anyone. The episode on philosophy was downright painful.

It was almost as if I was becoming dumber as the episode progressed. At what point I thought that's the opposite of learning. Luckily, when Nate mentioned Aristotle eating at Chili's, that kept me going till the end. Even when your shows are horribly rambling, they're hilarious. I do think whenever you guys have a guest, the show tends to have some direction.

Keep it up. So this guy likes a guest. He does. Buckle up. Because today is not going to probably be it. I know. Well, most don't like a guest, Shay. Yeah. It's so good to be here. It's going to be fun. Michelle Ramirez. Favorite podcast yet? Also, if everyone looked the same, I think the world would be pretty similar. Humans would just find another way to defensurate.

I think we should have a whole episode on this word. Different. Differentiate? Differentiate. I needed that one. I got to wait. I'm different. And then much yeated. I'm different. I appreciate it. And fight one another. Different. Like clothing or language. Yeah, that's very true. So we're not going to do that. We were going to try to get everybody to look the same. Oh, God. It was a pretty big. Yeah, it was a pretty big thing. We had to raise some money up for that one. Yeah.

We'd have to do a Patreon. It was a philosophical question we threw out last week. It's kind of like the theory behind it. If everybody looked the same, would the world be better or worse? Well, that's what private schools try to do with uniforms. Yes. That's the whole philosophy behind that. Yeah. And so is it better or worse?

Shay, go ahead. Okay. First of all, I'd just like to say I'm a pretty philosophical guy. Yeah. Everybody knows that. I almost got philosophical in there. You didn't do differentiate very well, so I can say philosophical wrong. That's a hard one. There'll be some more of those, Shay, by the way. Differentiate. Differentiate. That's not even close. That's a different way of saying it. It is.

It sure is. Benjamin Merrill. I think the title philosophy set my standards too high. Ten minutes in and Nate has already told Aaron to sit on someone's face.

He said that would be my wrestling move. His wrestling move would be to sit on someone's face. Like Rikishi. Yeah. What was your wrestling name? Didn't you have a... Oh, some of the gout foot or something they called me. That's pretty good. It was... Benjamin Barrow. Yeah, his wrestling move is he has the other guy check his gout out. And he asks him what he thinks about it. And he goes, do you think it's gout? And they have a conversation on the mat. It's called the DV, the doctor's visit. Yeah. It's lengthy.

Did you have a wrestling name? I was a pretty famous wrestler actually back in the day. Yeah. I didn't think it'd ever come back, but we don't need to talk about that. I was a pretty famous wrestler. So you don't have one? No. And you're just rambling. Yeah. Amanda JB. I do.

First, I'd like to... Are these the people's last names? Because that can't be... It's either their full name or their YouTube username. This one is a podcast reviewer. Okay, got it. I was going to say, this doesn't... She's either a huge Justin Bieber fan. Amanda JB? Or that's her name. Her name could be just Amanda Jib.

Yeah. It's Polish. JB's Polish. Yeah, it is. I teach medieval literature and was thrilled to see that you did an episode on the middle ages. We can stop right there. Yeah. I teach medieval literature. That's an incredible insight. I know that's, that's a whole class. Yeah, that's amazing. Uh,

It can be hard to think of subplans as a teacher, so it's great to have your Middle Ages episode in my back pocket in case I need it. I plan on sharing your philosophy episode with one of my coworkers so he can have a subplan for his class too.

So like if you have a substitute teacher. They would just put on our episode. Dude, we're changing minds over here. You're changing lives. And you know a lot about middle age. So that was a good one. I nailed that. I got it. I got it. That should be the name of your podcast. It's called Middle Ages. Middle Ages. It's just you guys. I know. Well, he's past it. We try. Middle Ages. He's past it. He's too young. You know what I mean?

There you go. Clayton Horton. I am currently a college student graduating with my bachelor's degree in two months. For my final assignment in one of my classes, I had to write a paper about apology by Plato, where I actually got to reference some of the things you talked about on the Philosophy Podcast.

I took a picture of my sources so you could see that you have now made it as an official educational podcast. The quote I used from the podcast was from Aaron, so I sure hope his time at Notre Dame was legit and I didn't just flunk this paper. So this dude, dude, we're a source. We're a source on an actual college paper. Oh, my God. Wow, dude.

Yeah, that's a 10 out of 10. Poor guy. Were you right, Aaron? I don't know what he quoted me on. I don't know. But I probably was. Let us know. He's graduating. It's a big grade, right? He was going to. Can you imagine if you were the reason? Like, look, guys, I'd like to point out this reference. This says a lot about you. I mean, this guy is just under a bridge in two years, and he goes, I should never listen to that Nate Lamb podcast. We've listened to that podcast. Let us know what your grade was, Clayton. I want to know how did it go?

That's pretty fun. That's awesome. Cat Rockwell. I feel like there wasn't enough acknowledgement of errands in 1900. God says, Nietzsche's dead. Yeah, that's a good joke. I missed it at the time. Thanks. So I feel like there wasn't enough acknowledgement of errands in 1900. God said, Nietzsche's dead.

So I quoted Nietzsche saying God is dead. That's his famous quote. And then Aaron looked him up and Nietzsche died in 1900, I guess, right? Yeah. So he's basically saying God told you you're dead. Oh, yeah. There you go. That is a good joke. That's very funny. Sorry, I'm not used to jokes being brought to the table.

So I'll keep a lookout from here on out. Robert Hart or Harty. I love how Nate keeps referring to the standard 12 ounce can of pop as the little ones. So Laura told me, I keep saying they're 12 ounces, but they're seven and a half ounces. So yeah,

It is a little. But you get the 12-ounce of the bottles. No, but I do sometimes get the 12-ounce of the bottles, but then she – lately I've been drinking the 7 1⁄2 of the can. Yeah. Did you think that the bottle and the can were the same size? I did. Yeah. All right. We can move on. I just wanted to clarify. But what's standard size for a can of Coke? 20-ounce would be, right? 12-ounce is the standard. Yeah, 12-ounce should be. Yeah, that's like a can of beer, a can of Coke. Yeah. Yeah.

Kirby Morrison. Maybe this is why Aaron hasn't been able to get to Planet Fitness. He's too busy thinking about how it's logically impossible to get there. I mean, it is. I like that, Kirby. It is. That's pretty good. That's what you should tell him. That's what I put in the letter. Yeah. I'd love to come in there, but it's logically impossible for me. How can I get there? Have you nailed that one? Because, Shay, to get there, I would have to first get halfway there, right? Yeah. And to get halfway there, I'd have to get a quarter of the way there first.

Yeah. And you can keep doing that an infinite amount of time. It's impossible to go anywhere is what I'm trying to say. Yeah.

That's the message I'm trying to get across. That must be why I don't get things done. What becomes more impossible is if after you do a quarter, how many more words do you have to describe? Eighth, 16th, 32nd, 64th, 128th, 256th, 512th, 1024th. I can multiply by two. And right after 1024, it's a bunch. That's where a bunch is. Et cetera, et cetera. How much do we have left of a bunch?

But I would just make you keep going until you're like... I was about done. Yeah. I was impressed with that. Yeah. And then you're done. Et cetera, et cetera. Then I still have to pay $10. Jack Weeb. Jack Weeb. I don't know if that's... Maybe it's Jackie even. It could be Jackie BB. Jackie BB. It's Jackie BB. It's French. That's probably what she meant. In this last episode, Nate mentioned a time when he forgot what a chair was.

There is a name for that according to Wikipedia. Semantic satiation is a psychological phenomenon. Whoa. Much like this sentence. Let's take the long way around, don't we? In which repetition causes a word or phrase to temporarily lose meaning for the listener, who then perceives the speech as repeated meaningless sounds.

So that is, so I was something. Wow. Yeah. So I looked for an Easter. Yeah. I looked for a chair. I was supposed to, the Easter basket was under near a chair. My parents told me when I was a kid and I kept thinking about the word chair so much that I forgot what a chair actually was.

That's wild. I feel like this is probably the same, because this has honestly happened to me before. Have you ever written out a word and looked at it and been like, I don't think that's it? Yeah. Like a simple word, like exit. Yes. Would be a word I think that I looked at it and I was like...

why is that spelled that way it's semantic satiation that sentence was crazy that was she trapped you there she was like he's gonna have a pretty tough time with this one yeah she got there's it was almost perfect the two words semantic satiation was like enough to be like oh i got through it and then it was like it's like when you're riding a ride you're like was that the hill yeah

That's not that bad of a hill. And then you're just down. You hit the curve. Yeah. That was like something I would say to warm up for this podcast. Semantic satiation. Repetition. Greg Rogers, chest of drawers. Not Chester. Chester drawers. It's a chest of drawers. Yeah. Did I say Chester drawers? Yeah, you made a whole joke about it. Oh, yeah.

Chester, Chester. Yeah, yeah. But do you actually call it a Chester drawers of you? I don't think I ever say that. I don't think. I think I just said drawers. Do you say it worse? Chester. I probably say Chester, chest of drawers. I probably do say Chester drawers. Yeah, I always say Chester drawers. Yeah. A Chester drawers? It's a chest of drawers. What? Yeah. You say Chester? Maybe. I just found out I did. It's a chest of drawers. What do you call the house that's on your neighborhood on the other corner?

You say that house is what to you? A chest of drawers. I always call it the semantic safety. It's where Chester lives. Cat-a-corner. You say cat-a-corner? You say cat-e-corner? I heard you're kitty-corner too? No, I haven't heard that one. People say that. Yeah. Do people say that? I think people say it. No one knows. Find me one person who says kitty-corner. Yeah. I could see that. Maybe I have heard that before. Scott-a-man-duck.

Is that two? I wonder if it's him and his wife. If it is...

They're one of those couples. They got to combine Facebook. Poor Scott is like, I know, but can I have my own? And she goes, no, we're doing it together. And they wrote this comment. Nate's philosophy should be words are hard instead of all words matter. I messed up that. They should be. Words are hard. You did that how they would hope to. That's what I live by. They hoped you would read it like that. Yeah, yeah. He nailed it. That's what I get for making fun of them. Feast for thought.

Finally, I found a podcast talking about the three great philosophers, Frank Bargetzi, Ted Lasso, and Michelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That's what it's about. Yeah. That's why we do the podcast. Cowabunga. All right, everybody. So with our guest, as usual, as the usual guest. Am I the usual guest? With our guest, as usual. It's Shane. Very average guest today.

No. But we like to talk about where everybody's from, the states. So a lot of people don't know. I think everybody's kind of knowing who you are now. I think Dan and Shay. Don't you think? Did you see Chris Pratt posted about 10,000 hours? I didn't. I'm a huge Chris Pratt fan. This is the first I'm hearing of it. I need to leave here immediately. I know. So Chris Pratt posted. It was him and his wife, Catherine, Arnold Schwarzenegger's daughter.

is who he's married to. And then, I believe her name's Catherine. And they, she, it was their favorite song. But they said, 10 dozen hours and they tagged Justin Bieber. He has no idea we're on that song. Yeah. Yeah, he's like, was there somebody? Yeah.

But you're singing, it's y'all, whose song is it? Was it your song? It was ours. I mean, ours, yeah. Yeah, and you got Bieber. I had a real problem with this. Chris? Unbelievable, dude. Huge fan, been supporting you for years, and this is how you treat me. Is he behind there? Who are you talking to? I'm not really sure. Chris Pratt? Yeah, maybe. You have a camera? Oh, you're looking at the camera. Shaylan's starting, dude. Yeah, you starting a new podcast?

I'm doing a side. Is Aaron doing this podcast? It is. Yeah. We already have Aaron. What's a simulcast? Yeah. Aaron's got his own podcast. Aaron Land. Okay. And Aaron's doing this podcast. I didn't know you were going to do one too. Well, because sometimes they land here. Sometimes they want to land over in Shetown. Get them out. Shetown. Shetown, USA. But that is awesome though. I really did not know that. I did not hear that. It's the first I'm hearing of it. It's their song. That's incredible. That's where you can tell. So when you do something, when you do a song like that.

That was probably, that was like the, you're- Definitely our farthest reaching. Yes. Yeah. And so when you do do a song that you get like Bieber to do it, is that what musicians are trying to do? Like, especially y'all were coming along, y'all were doing great. You're doing huge, huge places. It's not like necessarily you need Justin Bieber, but obviously Justin Bieber is huge. Yeah.

And so if you get them, then you get all those fans and then they get to hear you. So many more people are going to hear that song because it's Bieber. 100%. I mean, we got to places that we would never would have. Like that song had like a, I mean, hundreds of millions of plays in like China and all over Asia, places that we'd never heard.

Probably wouldn't go with straight up... They're not listening to country radio over there. I don't think it's doing that great. It is expanding, which is really cool. Country music is really expanding. But yeah, having someone like Justin Bieber, it's a whole different thing of a worldwide hit. It's just something so different. Did you just ask him or did he...

Yeah, just an email. Email? Hey, listen, my name's Shay. We've known him for a second. I think we met him probably back in 2014 or 15 or something. And it kind of just made sense at this time. We've gotten to the point where at the beginning of our career, Scooter is also one of our managers. So we met him through him. But we didn't want to just be like, can you get Justin on a random song? It has to make sense for both.

You don't just get somebody. So Scooter, what's his name? Scooter Braun? Yeah. Who does everybody. Yeah. So you're with him under his umbrella. But he knows it's good to be able to do one of your songs. Sure. But it does have to fit. It just made sense. It was good timing. So we're at the point where it also benefits him. So he got his first country hit and got his first...

Yeah. Got his first hit on country radio, which is a cool thing. He's done everything. And he won a Grammy. And he won a Grammy. Yeah, which is pretty cool. And then, yeah, what do you got? Four Grammys? That was our third. Third. Yeah, thanks for... Now I feel stupid. Third Grammys. Wow. Oh, I thought it was four. Yeah, I thought that's why I had you. No, sorry. You're...

Dan and Shay Twitter page. The picture is just a phone number. It's 615, old school. So do you or Dan answer that? Yeah, it's just my phone. Can we just call it? You can call it right now. It just starts ringing. Well, that's the thing where people can text you. It is. It's called Community is the app, and it's really cool. We actually go on there and actually text people and make videos and stuff.

It's a whole thing. It's the only thing we do. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's a good way to be in contact. Yeah. It's very personal. Yeah, yeah. Being able to keep up with people. Yeah.

So you've been – so you're from Arkansas. Yep. Where at in Arkansas? I'm not sure. It's just in the left side of it. Yeah? Yeah, just down there. That's how much y'all don't know? Yeah, we didn't do – We didn't do it. We didn't do school. That's how small it was. We didn't have a name for the town. Where are you from? I'm just up the road. How are you –

Your town was a very small town, right? Yeah, it's called Natural Dam. And there's 511 people as the population. And how many of them made it in country music? A good bit. 110, actually. More than you think? More than you think, yeah. Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw. Yeah, we were all from the same family. They're not from there. They're not from there. God, that'd be unbelievable. As far as Arkansas, my area, I was definitely the only...

I think I might have been one of the only people to leave. It wasn't even like, did he make it? We don't know. But he left. So that's a pretty good start. But no, it's close to Fort Smith. It's probably like 45 minutes away from Fort Smith, which is a bigger town. They're probably...

At that time, I think there were 75,000, but it's probably much bigger now it's grown. But it's kind of in between Fort Smith and Fayetteville, which is a big – Fayetteville Rogers, Walmart land. Yeah, that's exploded up there. So yeah, but it's literally the middle of nowhere just like out in Arkansas. So yeah, my parents are out there and it's pretty – You were raised too. I was, yeah. You were raised –

Yeah. You might not know this, but he was actually raised. Tell me if I'm speaking right here. You were raised. Yeah. All right. You're fully grown. Yeah. We're hoping. We still got hope a little bit. My uncle told me a story one time that he was like 5'9". And this is a true story. He was actually 5'9", until when he graduated high school. And now he's 6'2". He grew up.

from high school to college so imagine my anticipation that you thought that i was like i was like i was like looking at like telling people like this isn't it yeah yeah hey you talked you talked down to me now yeah just wait wait i'm about to be six i think i'm moving right now i feel like i'm moving yeah everyone's probably like hold on a second you feel me yeah

Yeah. Scotty Pippen. You just go, oh, there's a pencil up there. I didn't even know that. I was measuring myself at all times. Scotty Pippen grew in college. Arkansas guy. Yeah. 6'1 out of high school. Goes to, what, Central Arkansas? Yeah, UCA. And ended up 6'8". That's insane. I mean, has there been a better player ever that went to such a small school? No. That's in the way. Well, Jerry Rice. Yeah, but that's bigger than. Where did he go? He went to Mississippi Valley, I think. Do you consider Indiana State a small school?

Larry Bird? Yeah, Mississippi Valley. That's a tiny school. It is. No one's even heard of that. I mean, that's up there for sure. I mean, I think they were 1AA, I think.

Central Arkansas was? Central Arkansas was NAI. That's like Cumberland. Oh, wow. It's about as small as you get. Yeah, Central Arkansas was very small. That's where my wife went to college. Oh, yeah? Not at the same time as Scottie Pippen. Yeah, a little bit before. Yeah, a little bit before him. Yeah, slightly before him. She's 65. Obviously not the same time. A little bit before. Like obviously not the same time. Yeah, a little bit.

There's a – yeah, I was going to say Scottie Pippen grew. I guess you want to hope that you can grow. But I've met your family. Y'all are all about the same size. Yeah. You kind of see what you get. Yeah. My wife, like I – You're not shocked when someone walks in. You're not like, whoa. You're not like, whoa, whoa, whoa. You know what happened? Like all my family is tiny. But my wife, her dad, and her aunt are like –

very tall like giants like her i don't want to say it like that like they're giants but her aunt is like six eight wow like very very tall yeah and her son is like seven foot man so like there's a lot of height her dad's like six something wow she did it yeah and uh yeah she's i know her mom is very small and the whole her whole side of her family which is the loves which is like their last name was love

very good last name yeah so yeah they're all tiny so we'll see which way asher names go yeah which i'm kind of like i want him somewhere in the middle when they start to pass you're like look do you think you're just better than than me he's gonna just shove your face away i don't want to give him a hug could you clean your room and he goes beat it yeah yeah i don't want that yeah i don't want my son to be able to beat me up and then your wife goes what are you doing you're like i'm cleaning his room

He made me clean his room. I'm picking up his toys. Yeah. He's so big. He's so much bigger than me. He's like 14 years old. He's not even fully developed yet. Just take you. He's like, I'll get bigger too. He's like, I'll come back here. So don't you come back here after 6 p.m. Wait till I get. He tells the story. He's like, you know, Uncle Terry grew after high school. He's like, I have a lot of potential here. It's going to be good. I wonder what the latest someone's ever grown was.

Like, when is it, you know, when you shrink? Was it Bin Laden? Oh, yeah. I always think Scottie Pippen looks exactly like Bin Laden. Oh, yeah. I'm sure he'll be stuck together. I've never seen him in the same room twice. Yeah. I hope Scottie Pippen's a huge fan of this podcast and just unsuspectingly. What the hell? It's not the first time he's heard it, I'm sure. Yeah. You don't see any similarities? Yeah, I do. I mean, I don't know if they're enough that I would ruin someone's life about it. But...

Yeah, I guess in the grand scheme of things. Oh, boy. This is a fun game we like to play. We like to bring up some other complete just horrible human beings and compare them to good ones. Next up, we're going to go through Hitler's comparisons. Aaron, he's already got them drawn up. Bring up that picture of Nate. Play this growth spurt. This will take a minute. Someone compared you to Hitler last week as far as playing golf.

They said, who's more fun to play with, Hitler or Nate? Who said that? A person that commented on that. After you talked about the people who, if you drop a ball and stuff. Yeah, that's funny. Do you say what you responded? Yeah, I said I played with both. You are correct. Did Hitler play golf? Was golf a thing when he was...

No, he was middle ages. No, I don't know. Well, Kim Jong Il is the best golfer ever. Shot at 18. He shot at 18. I'm sure he did. Yeah. These guys are just like. Yeah. Some people don't believe it. Seems crazy seeing as he hit the woods a couple times. But there's a country that does. So I believe it. Yeah.

They – so you grew up – what I always think that's funny is – I don't know how many people always know this. But it's like – I mean you grew up on a farm. Yeah. Like I mean real – you're real Arkansas. Very Arkansas. You're not – I don't know, from the big city of Arkansas. From the big city, yeah. Which I don't know if there's like a lot of – Did Bill Clinton grow up?

I think he's from Hope, Arkansas, I think. Possibly, is that right? The only reason I know that is because I used to do this choir thing for a couple years. It was like a church choir. We'd go around, and we played in Hope, Arkansas, and there was a girl on our choir tour named Hope.

And she was from Hope, Arkansas. Wow. And so I knew that, that old Billy was from there. We call him Billy. Billy, yeah. He's a good guy. But yeah. You grew up, I mean, y'all had. Full on, like my, I feel, yeah, I feel like I don't, people probably don't know that. They're probably like, he's probably from Seattle or something, you know? Yes. You don't have that much of a Southern accent. Yeah, I know. And I appreciate that, buddy. Uh,

It's great to be here with you guys. Every time I go home, I do kind of pick up on some things. You do. Well, it's good to see you guys now. Thanks for coming out here. But it is funny because I grew up on a farm and that was like our thing. I'd wake up at 5.30 and milk cows. That was my main job. Before school. Before school, yeah.

And so I'd go and we had to drive an hour to school because it was like – because the school – I don't like – people from Cedarville probably listen to this. It's a way better school now. But at the time, it wasn't great. It wasn't a great school to go to. And you were an hour away. I don't know if they were like accredited as a school. Was it a school? Like kind of. People go there. There's kids that go there. It's like a daycare. You were getting more schooling probably on the farm. 100%. I actually homeschooled for like the first five years.

Yeah. Halfway through fifth grade. And then just day your parents didn't want to drive you to school. I begged my sisters went to school. Like they started going to this other school in Fort Smith, Arkansas. And I was just like, I was home alone by myself. I was like, as it wasn't as if it wasn't isolating enough, but I was on a farm of, you know, in a town of 500 people. We had like all of our cousins and everyone lived there. Like we had, you know, our cousins and friends that lived, like we would walk to each other's houses, even though they were like a mile away. I was in much better shape then.

Did you ever take a horse to their house? Yeah, you know, I did. Did you? 100%, yeah. I rode horses growing up, but I had a pretty bad horse experience. There was this huge hill by our house, and I was just getting into riding horses like I'd gotten a horse. And I think his name was – I can't remember what it was.

And it was – we had Bolt, which is just a sign right there. It's like he was so fast and angry that they – I think they even told us whenever they sold it to us. They're like, he's pretty quick. And like in a way where it's just like he's got issues. He likes to run real fast. And I think he was like a racing horse for a while and then he retired –

He was doing super well. To the Mooney Farm. To the Mooney Farm. And so I was going down a hill one time and I let him... I think one of his shoes was messed up and it was slipping. And so we go down this hill and I was sprinting and he's sliding. And so he's running down this... It's a paved road. And so he's slipping and I'm going what feels like 180 miles an hour, just terrified out of my mind. And then...

Yeah. After that, I didn't ride horses for a while. This was a couple years ago. This was last week. I think I was probably eight or nine. I was pretty young. That kind of traumatized me. Then I got kicked off of a horse one time. We tried to – me and my friend put a bucket. The same horse.

horse. It was like right before this. And I was trying to get on the horse and we were trying to do bareback because we thought that was a good idea. Like, Hey, let's, let's get on this horse that's barely trained and try to get on his bareback. So I got on there and, uh, yeah, he kicked us off and, and then kicked us onto the bucket and,

I could have died. So yeah, near death experience. Yeah. But yeah. Well that you, but you grew up in like a time where it was like, yeah, you're just going to learn all that. Like you're, you're just a lot, your parents are not even watching. Like you're just, that was, that was the best time probably. Not the best time of my life, but one of the things that I cherish being able to like walk outside. Like I feel like that's a generational thing too though. I've just, we're in a different world now where you can't do like, I would never send my kids out and be like, be back by dark.

Like you would never see them again. Like, all right, go wherever you want to go. Like, there's no way I'd do that now. But then it was just like, we would come back at 9 PM and we would be,

Fine. We'd go camping. We'd be out all night in the woods. My mom was like, they're probably camping. Wouldn't go look for us. He's fine. With a horse? You just take the horse off? She'd come out there with a lantern. She'd be like, hey. My mom always knew, though. She was close to Jesus. She always knew. Yeah, we're fine. She would know. And then that's what, I mean, you can't do it now. But they still live. If you live out there, though, you can probably still stay out. Yeah, we do it there. Like my sister, they still live out.

in the middle of nowhere and it's nice like when we go visit we're able to just be like yeah you guys go play you're just in your own world have you ever played a show at Heroes Arena in Natural Dam no but I do know that's Ricky's spot my dad's name is Ricky Rick do you know that place I do know it's right across the street from so yeah I clicked on it so Grandview Assembly of God Church was where I my dad built that church

and the gym there and there's actually the original grand view assembly where i grew up going is right across from heroes arena um and it was uh you can see it there's my friend logan's house right there off the peaceful home road you guys go check him out he's got a great spot so yeah our friends built heroes arena it's a rodeo arena oh that's awesome yeah why is the picture a waterfall

So yeah, if you go down Natural Dam Road right here, you see Natural Dam? Kind of go to the left. If you go left, that's Natural Dam. Oh, right around. That's where I grew up swimming and there's all kinds of stuff in there. Bodies and it's really fun stuff. You can find just about anything in there. Cars, horses. Postal service. Is it hard to get the horse to grab the bag to deliver the mail? It is. It is.

A lot of training. Harder than you think. Harder than you'd think. Yeah. But also maybe not as hard as you'd think. Oh. Yeah. Wow. If it's a male horse. Yeah. Yes. And when a train comes, they just pick up the letters? No, they get on the train. They have to ride the train. Oh, they get on the train. Yeah, because it's a whole insurance thing.

They have a ramp. They go there. They have to ride the train. Seven hour trip. Is it? Yep. Yeah. To the next town. Not because it's that far. The train's real slow. They haven't got to change out the... Yeah, it's a whole thing. Isn't that what they used to do? They have a hook on a train and you pick up and they're like... You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like in the old days. Definitely. Sounds like it's something they'd do.

I'm just picturing a mailman going mailbox to mailbox with a horse, and the horse reaches in and grabs the mail with its mouth. He throws it up. And he gets it back. He throws it up. And the mailman looks through it and then just leaves something out. He decides. He feeds it to the horse.

No. And they get a call from the electrical company. You haven't paid your bill. We're not getting it. We're not getting it. I don't know what to tell you. You guys got to stop using that card stock. That horse likes it a lot. He likes it. He's been eating it. Yeah. So what's a fun Arkansas fact? I got a bunch of fun facts.

Arkansas, if you saw the word Arkansas, how would you think it's pronounced? Arkansas. Arkansas. Arkansas. Arkansas. Arkansas, yeah. Yeah. The word comes, Kansas and Arkansas come from the same Native American word. Yeah. Yeah, because they were like, no, that's their Kansas. This one's ours. Yeah. This is Arkansas. Arkansas. That's where, yeah. They didn't know how to spell our Kansas, apparently. Yeah. It comes from Akazi, which means land of the down river people.

I was going to say that. I feel like I get that vibe from you. Yeah. I would say that. Someone goes, what's Shay like? I'm like,

What do you think down river people are like? That's a specific... It sounds like a derogatory term. You definitely don't want to be down river people, I don't think. Well, think about all the things that go down the river. Those people are drinking out of that water. The people that are upstream, what do you think they're doing in that river? They're probably putting some things in there. Not putting better water in it. They're not putting any better water in it. Is down river people... That's probably a very bad thing to do.

Is that a term that we don't know that's wrong? I think when French settlers came, the Native Americans, they lived downriver, so they just called them the downriver people. A little more simple than we thought, huh? No, but I think they... I think they're better than them because they know to go to the top. They probably didn't say it with a smile on their face. Yeah, if you start at the top, then they're just drinking whatever you leave them. Yeah, the DRP. The DRP. So it was...

Half the state called it Arkansas and half called it Arkansas. And finally, the state legislature had to define the pronunciation and they decided to call it Arkansas. It's against the law now to call it Arkansas. It's against the law? They passed a law, yeah. There's a lot of, that's a crazy, I'm pretty sure that for a while it was like illegal to spit on the sidewalk in Little Rock. Like you'd get jailed for it.

I remember looking that up one time. I can't remember if it was Little Rock, but there was some pretty ridiculous things. There's always weird laws. I used to have a joke about it. Something about drinking out of a bucket. You can't drink out of a bucket in Georgia. No, you can't drink out of a bucket on a corner in Georgia or something like that. It was like a real... That's your first thing. Do you think that those things came from small quarrels? There was just a guy, like a lawmaker, and then there was just this guy named Jim. He kept doing... Well, spinning on the sidewalk, I'd imagine his...

People were dipping and just spitting, you know, like old dip where it just. It's everywhere. Yeah. It's not like new dip. Yeah. Where you're spitting into a small space. It's just like. You kind of just like threw up. Yeah. Oil. It's like motor. Yeah. It did look like motor oil is a good way to describe it. Little Rock. It is illegal to walk your cow down Main Street after 1 p.m. on Sunday.

That was always a hassle because it was like, how am I going to walk my cow? Fred goes, Fred, it's 1245. You better get to it. And he goes, we're going, we're going. Like he's – it's because he got to one. That's why they had bells on cows. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Oh, yeah. That's a pretty good – I would have believed that. Well, because the cow – they trained the cattle. It was like, it's just about one. He was just like – and they'd wiggle it. It was like – so that's why they do it.

That's why they actually, the reason they had, you know why they have bells on cows? Yeah. This is a true story. So we had milk cows. Obviously I said it wasn't, we didn't have like a dairy farm where we had like machines. It was like you had kids. The machines are the children. It was me. And so I went down there and I could literally, I could do a gallon. I don't know if I could do it now. At that time I played drums. It was like my first instrument. No joke. I had my wrists were like freaking unbelievably strong. Yeah. I mean, it was incredible. I could milk a gallon.

In probably – in less than a minute. In like 45 to 50 seconds. A gallon? A gallon. And these cattle were like – I mean, we had this one dairy cow that was just an absolute just –

milk mate i don't know how to describe it there's no better way to say it but you were happy to get to her yes yes i mean it was literally she would produce milk so intensely yeah that you would just you'd barely have to have to milk i feel like we should move on because it's getting weird yeah yeah well we did have i will tell you this story about to to keep her from because you basically you can get diseases if you if you if it's not if the if the cows aren't milk they get

like diseases. So we had, like we had lost a cow. She had had a baby and like they lost the baby. And so she had produced all this milk and couldn't like,

You have to get it out there. I can't remember what it's called. Mastitis, I think, is what it's called. You get filled with too much milk in the bag. It's like disease and all the crazy stuff. It can kill the cow. We had to have it milked every once in a while. We had this goat that was given to us. Someone was like, I got this goat. And

we had it almost like they knew y'all would take it you're gonna take it we were that too we had stray dogs people would dump their animals and we were like we were hoping that this would happen yeah

So we would, we had all these animals and we had this goat named Lucky and he thought he was a cow because he would, he would actually nurse the cow. Yeah. And that was how we, we kept her healthy and safe is that, and he needed milk and to be fed. So we had a goat named Lucky and he had a big horseshoe. He was black and white, had a white horseshoe on his side and you could yell at him and you'd say, Hey Lucky. And he would scream back at you from the house. Yeah. And it was really great. Yeah. We had 60 goats. Why did he have a horseshoe on him? Oh,

I think he was just super lucky. Oh,

So he had a horseshoe shape on his... It was a horseshoe shape. He wasn't branded. Lucky Farms. Doesn't sound so lucky. Lucky you. We burned him. This is horrible. That's crazy. So y'all would milk. Growing up, y'all never went and bought milk at the store. Well, we did. We went to Brahms. I don't know if you guys had Brahms around here. Brahms was like... That was kind of a...

It was a chain, but it was like a local-ish. Piggly Wiggly? It was a bigger... Piggly Wiggly-esque. Yeah. Yeah, but they had like ice creams. Great spot. Still there, I think. But my mom would always sneak it because she wanted us to drink unpasteurized milk because it was like, it's healthier for you, for sure, without all the stuff in it. So she would sneak it into the Brahms. She would pour out the Brahms milk and she would...

and sneak it. Like I couldn't tell the difference. I mean, this milk doesn't look like normal milk. Yeah, yeah. When you go to pour a glass, there's cream. I mean, it's clearly not Brahms milk. And so we used to call it that. We would call it, we'd ask her every time, like, is this Brahms milk or real milk? And then we'd ask her every time. And she was like, what?

I don't know what you're talking about. I think you got a pretty good idea of what you did this morning. You know what's happening here. Yeah. And we would make, we would also, we would make our own butter and stuff. Like we'd get on the trampoline and you put it in a big jar. You take the cream and you put it in there and you shake it. Yeah. And you had to shake it for a while. So we'd get on the trampoline and we'd take turns shaking it. It was perfectly normal back then. And now I'm like, that was, these things we were doing were, they're insane. Yeah. Yeah.

Growing up on a farm, you don't think about it. And it was cool. Now, you know, looking back, I thought it was a cool thing. Like we had the first time I noticed that like we lived out in the middle of nowhere and that like not everyone lived on a farm was when we went to school and we had a field trip.

to our farm. It was like, oh, they're coming here. I was like, yeah. Yeah, you know, since you guys are like, you know, native people. Are we going to y'all's parents' house? And then you're like. Like, why don't we go to y'all's farm? Like, we don't. Yeah. We're going to come walk on our sidewalks. You're like, I actually would love to see what that's like. Sidewalks? What is a sidewalk? What's concrete? Yeah. We had, I thought it was the coolest thing ever though. And like the girls got in there and I thought it was an absolute stud. Like I thought showing off was,

What I just told you is that I could milk a gallon in a minute. And it was awesome. And that's what you did. Yeah. And the girls, when they were there, they thought it was – You were going in the mirror. Yeah. I was just like – Yeah. They were just like, this is incredible. She's not – I just did it this morning, so it's not coming out as good. I swear. It's still in the two minutes, and the girl's like, you said a minute. Yeah. And you're like, two minutes is pretty good. Like, that's really good. Five minutes is the average. Where do you think you're at now? I've been working on my RPM. I don't know what I'm at right now. I've been training. I think you had healthy with golf. What would you do with the milk?

Yeah, I mean, we would drink it and we would give it away to like our neighbors and stuff. Would you keep it cold? Yeah. So you would just, would you ever drink it straight? You never. You're asking me if I've drank from the teat is what you're trying to get at. Yeah. Yeah. Not for fun. I did it as a dare. Is it really taste that it's like. Yeah. Pretty different. It's very different. Very different. It's good. So most of it though, you took it to a dairy? Yeah.

No, we didn't take it to a dairy. The way you would pasteurize it, you wouldn't pasteurize it, but you would cleanse it by putting pantyhose around the jar and then you would pour it out. And that's the way you separated the cream from the cream.

The more I talk about it, the weirder it was. It's a pretty weird childhood. Do you have to go buy just a bunch of pantyhose? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I had a bunch of them. He still got them. Keep them up. These are so special. Them going to, when you start comedy, you're already planning on it. Your first one's got to be your school going to your house. Yeah. That's hilarious. I've already thought of the name of it. I have a name for the special. Yeah. What is it? Let's call it the Milkman. The Milkman. It'll be good. Oh, wow. Yeah.

Thought of it just now. Yeah. And they're going to be like, very confused whenever they hear that. Like, so you don't deliver milk? It's nothing like that. And everybody's joking around. Like, what is it? Like an hour on like milking cows? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's like, what do you got? Yeah. That's exactly what it is. Yeah. Got quite a bit. It's a full hour. Full hour. Cow milking. I could honestly probably talk several hours about milking because it's a very complex thing.

It's not easy. Some cows hate it. So there would be cows that you would not... And do you have to get it out of them? You have to get it out. Or they will get... It'll disease basically from the inside out. They'll get... Their milk bag will...

Does it kill them? It can. Yeah, it can get diseases and it's very bad. So yeah, I've been trying to advocate. I sound like I'm here to talk about this today. Guys, I'm really glad that you have me on here. People do rhinos. People do elephants. No one's talking about the milk cow. Public service announcement. So is there milk cows in the wild?

I just picture our cows. What are they doing without us milking it? You know the places that you've never been to, like in Wyoming? Yeah. Yeah, they're just out there. I mean, just in herds, just running milk sloshing. Somebody help us milk them. Are they? I don't know. You don't even know. There's not wild milk cows. That's the most ridiculous. I hope, though, somewhere in Australia there's just wild milk cows just running. Obviously, at some point, they were wild. The majority of cows are beef cattle, right? Yeah. Yeah.

I typed wild dairy queen. I don't think you want to go through that. Freudian slip right there. Did you ever say why cows wear bells? No.

No, but the reason that they did that, so going back to back in the day, like if a cow tried to, if there was a huge field, it's not like you can see them. Yeah. I mean, they can get out. Like we had like, you know, there was like 300 acres around there that they could just walk on. And so when you go to like, if you had your one milk cow, you'd be like, God, I got to go find this cow. And it's not like everyone had four-wheelers back then where they're just like,

you know, or GPS where they're just finding their cow. Like she's in the car. You'd have to carry like four bottles. Yes. Well, you'd, you'd bring them in like you would with feed. Oh, okay. But yeah, it would be, it was so they could find their, I'm sure there's other things, but I'm pretty sure that's why. So some don't like it and some do like it. Yeah. I mean, they all like it.

Once it's getting weird. Oh, no, they all like it. They're super. They go. It hurts. They tell you they don't like it, but they like it. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. They had a, yeah. But they like it because it hurts to have that much milk. Yeah. You know, imagine just having something there. And how often do you got to do that?

Every day. Oh, you got to milk a cow every day? Every single day. Sometimes twice a day. A cow has to be milked every day. Yes. Not all of them. If they're producing milk, then they do. They have to be milked every day. Are they producing all year round? Yeah. Yeah.

Wow. It's pretty crazy. And does someone just pour the milk in the top of them and that's how it gets to the bottom of it? Yeah. And then you think, well, why don't we just get him to do it? And they go, no, it's better to go through the cow. Yep. Well, and you feed them milk. Yeah. Yeah. That's how they make it. Wow. Yeah. Actually, there's no such thing as milk cow. They just, they're able to hold it. It's like, why don't we, don't we just, if we feed it to them, they can hold it to us for a while. Yeah.

Do you have the history? The last wild cow on earth is believed to have died in Poland in 1627. I knew that. Jeffrey. His name was Jeffrey. Great guy. He's a really good guy. But there are no more wild cows in the world. They're fully domesticated. Yeah. Pretty crazy. That's pretty weird. That's something you don't think about. But do they always have milk?

Yeah. I mean, all mammals do. Yeah, they all do. I know, but you're not milking female mammals. Yeah. Yeah. Well...

Oh, man. We all do it. Yeah. Yeah. Right? We all do it, right? Yeah. You guys do it, right? I have to do it every day. I feel so sluggish. Yeah. I had no idea. I got to do it at least twice a day or I'm just – I get swole. Did you ever have like you milked the whole thing and then you just knocked the bottle over and you're like –

Are they? They are very smart. I thought some of them were the dumbest animals. They're dumb in some areas. Kind of like you. It's like you. You're a smart guy, but pretty dumb in other areas. We get something like... You and I are... We could be smart, but we're pretty dumb. You see a cow like...

standing on top of a car and you're like, I mean, that's the dumbest animal, but how did he figure out how to get on that car? It's also genius. Like, why did he get on that car? He didn't know that that's a Buick. Yeah. You know, but he's up there. Is it true that cows can walk upstairs, but not downstairs?

This is really making a lot of things make sense to me. I remember we were kicking around ideas for a senior prank high school, and somebody said, we bring some cows in, walk them up the stairs, then they can't come back down. You know, that makes a lot of sense. We didn't have a ton of stairs at the farm, so I haven't tested out the theory. But I think I did hear that one time. Yeah. Yeah. They have like eight stomachs. Is it seven stomachs? Yeah. It's something crazy. Yeah.

Cattle are wild. They're wild animals. Not anymore. Not anymore. Not anymore. And we know that. So what were you going to say? They were smart? Forced. So yeah, they would get, like she would get annoyed that she was, you know, having to be milked. And you would get, like you have, I would milk in a pan. Betsy, come on. She was like, come on. Betsy, calm down. I'm trying to think of the name of what her name actually was. It was Daisy. Daisy. Daisy was her name. Yeah, she was a Jersey. Jersey milk cow. And you would get her in by going. She's from New Jersey? Suck, suck, suck, suck, suck.

That was like the call. What was it? Yeah. I'll do it only once. No, do it one more time. There you go. Suck, suck, suck, skiffers. Yeah. And that's how you'd get them in. Something's wrong with that Mooney family over there. They don't go to somebody that got churches. What's that? You also show up. What's that? That's also how we had family reunions. It was a real problem. Is that not the same as a pig?

Pigs are a little bit different. I also don't know where these calls come from. I just know that my family did that one. There was a different one for goats. There is nothing more than I hope someone writes in and says that that's not the call for cows. And your family made up their own call. I'm pretty sure that we did. I would love it if it was just like... I think everyone... Because I feel like every farmer had their call. They have their own thing. Yeah. I know that my... At one point, we didn't... My mom bought these goats...

because this guy was selling them and she loved animals. Like this was not how we made our living. My dad has a construction company. Yeah. That's like, this is like for fun. This was for a good time. My dad was not an animal lover. Like, you know, so then he was later after we had a hundred million of them. And so we had chickens, cows, we had goats, we had, we had horses. We had the whole, the gamut. We had geese, wild animals. He told us about, what did he get? Llamas.

Oh, yeah, he got emus. Emus. He got emus. Those were aggressive. And they killed... Yeah, it's a whole story. It's a whole story. For another time. Yeah. But she had got these 60 goats, and she was like... She was super excited about it. And there was one that came in. He was the billy goat, and his name was Big Jim. Yeah. And if you spanked Big Jim, it was like a thing. The guy... It's the only thing he talks about. There's 60 goats. There's got to be other things you need to know about these goats before my mom buys them.

and but big jim the only thing that he told us about these goats was like don't spank him where it was like that was the first thing i was gonna do like i can't wait to spank that i can't wait for this dude but they were like barbara strudson i don't i think that they might have done it like the kids or something like on the farm had spanked this goat and he would chase him and this this goat is literally like the size of you and me like it's a looks like a horse literally literally looks like

He was bigger than me. If I got an all-fours, yeah, he's massive. And so I would always have buddies come over. We thought it was hilarious. You'd just kind of give him a little swat, and he would chase you around until he butted you very hard and knocked you to the ground. And it was awesome. It was almost like a heat-seeking missile where you just, like, one of your buddies is up there, you slap him, and you get in cover. And it's all hell is about to break loose. You know what he likes? He likes slapping. Yeah.

Just laughing at it sideways. Here's what I'd like to picture. What was the calling of the cow? I'd like to just, we'll play it now. You can just say it. I don't think it's my nose.

You're annoyed at your parents. You're a child. Your parents annoyed you because you got to go. Shay, you got to go get the milk out. You're like, I'm tired of living in this farm. I got to go get this milk out. The screen door slams behind you. You're like, Mom, Dad, I can't. You're so mad. You're going to just call it out? Just being so angry as a kid? Because you're going to have normal angry upset. I'm so tired. My sister's driving me crazy today. She's like,

And then you got to go. My family's all coming by like, is it time for dinner? Yeah. We also, the best one though, where I was going with the 60 goat thing. The other thing was the, the way that you got, they would go like and stay in like the South field and there's 60 of these goats. And so you would literally yell in goats.

That was their call. You go, and guts. And 60 guts come running around this corner like it's a freaking stampede. And it was amazing to watch. I picture you get a phone call. She's gone. She's gone. But then you look and you're like, she's so sad.

Whatever emotion you're in.

You still got to yell it. Still got to yell it. And goats. And goats. Would they come at different times? Like you see you're like, and goats. And then, did I say such and such a thing? Did I say such and such a thing? I didn't say it. Did you hear that? Daisy? Daisy? Beat it. They would all come. We also, we had bulls.

And those were, we had one named Gibraltar and we played with him like a pet when he was a kid. Big mistake. Because he got bigger and he still wanted to play. And he was massive. Yeah. And he was a Jersey bull, which is like the number one most dangerous bull in the world. And he, but he was cool.

he was yeah he wanted to butt heads with you yeah but he was yeah he was a sweet bull but very because he has like a dog size when he's when he's a baby kind of yeah yeah they were very small it's like it was a yeah they were yeah and then they get they get absolutely massive he looked like he was a body would you feel would some of the animals like love you like that you could tell that they you know yeah did you ever have to ever have to castrate cattle

Yeah, I didn't. I didn't do it. My grandpa did. They had actual beef cattle and they did that whole deal. So yeah, I did it.

I'd like to not talk about it on this podcast. What is that? I've felt with that before. It's not a great experience. I mean, usually you have one bull among a bunch of cows and the rest of the male calves, you castrate them. Yeah. So they can't reproduce. So that means just cut off the genitals. And then they just do it and then they would just throw it off. And one time we were doing it and a guy ducked and the other guy behind it hit him right here in the cheek and just went down his cheek. Oh, God.

I mean, I had a very vivid... Does the bull go crazy? Well, I mean, they're holding down. It's a calf. Yeah. And they're holding him down. Oh, yeah.

I picture it as a grown bull. He goes, all right, we got to go do it. And then you walk out there and you're like, oh, they're not little? You're like, no, dude, they're huge. They're riding it trying to do it. I don't know if you've ever seen bull, you know. No. Yeah. It's a real deal. It's a procedure. We're talking, I'm trying to think of something big enough to show you. No.

Nothing around here. I think we, you know. Oh. Pretty dry. Pretty big. Yeah. I'm talking, you know, basketball. We're talking watermelon size sometimes. Okay. Yeah. So you can just say that. Wow.

Wow. There's no watermelon size. You just got that. Yeah. Like, well, excuse me. I'm asking you with two hands or under your, yeah. Well, you're not, you're not just like a orange. I walk in with, I mean, watermelons, like you don't bring in other stuff with a watermelon. You don't walk in with a watermelon and go, I also have the rest of the groceries. Yeah. You,

Watermelon's its own single trip. It is. It's a single trip item. And that's just one. Yeah, that's one. Maybe not each. We're talking about the whole set. Oh, you're talking about the whole thing? The whole thing. Okay. Yeah, the whole Walmart set. Oh, that's not that impressive. What would you... Would y'all... Do you have pigs?

We didn't have pigs. Pigs were disgusting. And that's suey from – because that's Arkansas' thing. Suey. Yeah. My cousin, Tori, had pigs. His family, they had pigs. And it was – they actually had a pig, like a full-on farm. That's what his uncle did.

And it was pretty disgusting. Like they're eating stuff that's like, hey, the sewage backed up. It's like, don't worry about it. We'll collect it. Then we'll feed it to the pigs. Pigs would eat anything. It was disgusting. It's like hard stuff. Like, hey, I got this baseball bat I need to get rid of. Like, oh, we got the place. Yeah. That's like a whole thing. Like people like that's they hide body. Like, yeah, that's like a thing.

Y'all can hide a body where y'all were growing. Oh, yeah. Well, we wouldn't need to hide it. Yeah, you and I. We'd be like, oh, that's great. Yeah, no, it's in the open. Just let it. What animal on the farm is the easiest to have? Like the least amount of work, the least – because I feel like people think they want to farm and then they don't realize it's a full-time job. I mean could y'all – you couldn't – what would you do for like vacation? Vacation?

What's that? I'm just learning. You were supposed to leave? I mean, could y'all ever leave? Yeah. I mean, we had people. You had to have people come. Not people, but it was like our family members and there was other people. There's other farmers around. God, that's worse than asking someone to move. It was, yeah. Hey, can you watch my farm for me for a couple days? Can you go milk 40 cows? Yeah.

And you're like, are you serious, dude? Well, we're trying to go to Kings Island in Cincinnati. We didn't go on much. But there was... It's not that. There was like one cow. We didn't have 50 cattle to... He likes that Kings Island right there. That was awesome. That's the most random place.

We didn't want to go to vacation there. You ever been to Kings Island? No. It's great. I've never even heard of it. I don't know where Kings Island is. That's the world's longest roller coaster. The Kings Island does? Or you did it one time, the steepest or fastest? Kings Island would be where you're going if you have a farm.

You go, we've saved up for five years to go to Kings Island. You're like, all right, where's it? Bahamas or something? You're like, Cincinnati. We're driving up. Cincinnati. Kings Island had the longest wooden roller coaster in the world, the Beast. Oh, that's what it was. Finally got it. Yeah, we would go to it. I've been there. I've been to it. I've been there. Yeah, I rode it. My dad, he told us if we ride it, we can get whatever we want.

at the thing and I bought a hat that had like a safari hat. Turn the lights off. Where can you get this ridiculous Toy Story hat? That looks like something that would have like, it was right next to the aliens. I just bought it this week. This is what a female Jason Day, all the golfers wearing. Okay. I didn't get it from them. How'd they do this? Yeah.

yeah tony did good he did wonderful tony did good that does the colors remind me of toy story you know when they go down there and they get the aliens out of the thing that's the color scheme like that might even be on the claw he got it from a claw machine yeah just like it that looks about like that yeah i love it clearly uh what is under the underneath belly real quick what's uh it's got an interesting divot you know what i mean

Have you noticed it? No, no. It's two-tier. Is this what your Uncle Terry looked like? Before he grew. Yeah. Turns out it was just the hat that he was wearing. Y'all are going to see I'm going to grow one day.

That looks like, what's his name, from Andy Griffith. It just flipped up. Yeah. That looks like Elmer. Let me tell you something. Y'all laugh now, but I'm going to grow one day. That hat looked like the sun was like, he needed it in his eyes. Like, what did you guys say? So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so,

Would you ever just wake up and he'd be like to that noise? Yeah. You just hear your dad outside. You're just dead asleep at 530. My dad did not take care of the animals. So he would never. It was my mom. Yeah. I don't think he knew. I think he's just finding out that we had a farm. Yeah. And cattle. He's like, that's what you guys were doing? Where was this? Where'd you guys grow up at? That's what his dad asked. Where was that? Where'd you guys? What does that mean? Was it? Were you having to like do all this stuff? I mean, what age are you like, I don't want to do this anymore?

anymore.

I mean, I didn't like getting up at 5.30. I'll tell you that. I hated that because then you had to drive an hour and I had basketball practice like first day. To school. Yeah. So you had to get up at 5.30 just to go to school, not to do the – Well, that was just to – so we could get everything done. Yeah. So it was cool though, especially looking back now. It was literally like it was paradise being out there. But growing up in it, you just think, I got to get out of here. Yeah. It's just like there's nothing going on.

around here. But I mean, like you were, I'm saying like, how old were you when you're, is it like you get like 12, 13? You're like, mom, I don't want to milk these cows anymore. I had no option because my sisters were like, they, when they went to like,

I was still in like 10th, 11th, probably actually probably 9th grade. So there was no one there. I thought you were my sister in college. I was a senior in high school about to go to college. I was in third grade. And that's when I was born. So I started to pick up the slack. But I had to do it. There was nobody else there. My mom did a lot of it. She had like a farmhand

That would help us. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you have to. Yeah, you have to. Yeah. To go back to your question, your original question of what's the easiest to have, I'd probably say chickens are pretty – chickens are great. Yeah. Like they're just a – I mean she had a lot at one point where it was like – but we would eat the eggs and like we would actually use it. And I love eggs. It was like a –

You know, there's nothing like a farm fresh egg. Yes. But then with chickens, you get the stuff that wants to get those chickens. You do. And then that's... Varmints. Yeah. Varmints. Snakes. Y'all go and you'd go walk in there, just snake being eggs. Oh, yeah.

A lot of snakes would get eggs. I mean, there is actually recently I went to visit my parents in Arkansas and we had taken our bus down there. My dad put like shore power at the farm and we parked it down there and I get a call from my mom at like 11 o'clock, which she doesn't stay up

that late anyway so i thought honestly someone was like i thought someone had saw her but you're staying there i'm on we're on the bus like my kids are on there and hannah and i was just like she calls me and she's like she was like shay she asked me this first of all i don't have a it's not like i did not have a gun yeah she asked the first thing she asked like it was just like we're going into where she goes do you have your gun like i had like i have a gun on me at all times like

yeah I got it right here if you're on a farm you gotta have a gun for sure but I was I'm sitting there and she's do you have your gun and I was like mom you know for a fact I don't so I'm like I run out here I think there's intruders and I'm like there's people out here and I'm like on full dad mode of like I'm gonna have to murder at least 55 people there's been an occurrence and there's people raiding we don't know what's going on might be aliens no idea what's going on I get in there and my mom she was like

She's sitting there and she's holding, she was like, there's a snake in here. And I was like, you should have told me that before. I thought my whole family was about to die. And some sort of an absolute tragedy. So I go there, there's a snake. It's like probably eight feet long. And, but it had fallen from the Raptor, which happens a lot. They'd be like going and they'd get up in the rafters of the barn. And these things are like nine to 10 feet tall sometimes or long.

Huge black snakes. And they'll just like... Calm chicken snakes is usually what they call them because they're usually the ones who try to get in there and get the eggs. And it was just massive. And it's dark. There's no lights on there. And I have literally... Yeah. Yeah. There they are. Right there. That's exactly what they look like. They're massive. And so a lot of times you see that picture up there with what looks like probably a Dominica chicken, I think is what that's called. This one? Yeah. Or it's a... No. No.

So anyways, the snakes would get up in there and they'd wrap around. Like they'd get in there with the chicken and the chicken doesn't really know what to do. It's not like they can just like peck them to death. Like they're fully, they're like, this is my life now. The snake's in here with me. And so the way you go gather eggs is you literally, and when they're sitting on them, they don't like you to touch them anyway, like the hens. So you got to go in there. Sometimes they'll peck you and you got to like, you know, you get the eggs out or whatever. And like, so there's been times where I've reached in there and there's a snake in there.

Yeah. Which is a terrifying experience. It's horrible. I've stepped on a bare foot. Like underneath the... Yeah, you reach in there and it's dark. You know, we didn't have lights so you'd get in there and you'd grab him and he'd just feel snake and you're just like, okay, I'm gonna try not to panic.

And it was, yeah, it was bad. But yeah, we had to get that snake out. I had to get it out of there for her. And it was terrifying. And she was trying to hold it down. And it had like, it looks like it had eaten like a hundred eggs. It has this huge thing in the middle of it. It either ate an actual chicken or it just had eggs in it. And then at one point she goes, I lost him.

And I was like, oh my God. And it's dark. She has her phone light. She's trying to like do this. And this snake is like eight feet long and it's like running around the side. And I'm sitting there trying to catch it and get it out of the barn. But yeah, we got it. We got it. The extermination.

We just, we took him out to the, to the side. We let him live. He's, we took him to the neighbor's farm. Yeah. Yeah. We don't like him. Just put him in there. That's the hard part. How often do they lay eggs? How much can a chicken lay? I mean, it's,

It can be... If you have a bunch of chickens, there's eggs every day. Yeah. But there has... Yeah. I don't remember anymore. We always had eggs every morning. We'd go and gather eggs. You think chickens ever like, not again. Like it just... The first time it happens, you're like, that was weird. I lost all my children the other day. Yeah.

We're having another one. So I hope... Oh, God. It's happening again. Just every day. It's the saddest day ever for a chicken. That's why they walk around. They don't say much. They're just like... Living a pretty tough life. Depression among chickens is not good. It's through the roof. It's through the roof. What is it called?

What is it? A coop. It's through the coop. Through the coop. Yeah, it's through the coop. Through the coop. Some more Arkansas stuff. Yeah. You know what the biggest employer in Arkansas is? Walmart. Walmart, got to be. All right. I was going to guess Walmart, and I thought you were going to throw J.B. Hunt in there. Yeah. For some reason. Oh, yeah. J.B. Hunt's awesome. Walmart's the biggest employer in the world. Really? 2.3 million employees. They're doing good. I would think someone would have employed more people than that.

I guess that's a lot. That's a lot of people working there. There's 8 billion people. Yeah. You would think that, I bet Amazon is going to end up being more than that. But they have so much technology. There's 8 billion people. Are there that many different jobs that only 2.3 million of the 8 billion people work for one company?

Amazon. Actually, that makes me happy, to be honest. Yeah, that it's that few. Yeah, if you had told me. 575,000, that's it? Amazon, half a million employees. Wow, I mean, significantly more. Walmart has significantly more. Amazon's going to go buy that. But they're also like, it's a lot of technology. Yeah, since 2018, when that stat came out, they've more than doubled. 1.3 million.

Amazon. Amazon does? Yeah. So they're crushing it, but Walmart's still up there, man. Walmart's the world's biggest family-owned business. It's the largest privately employed workforce. Just a mom and pop. They make... Mom and pop shop. That's a joke about it. Mom and pop shop. Why would you get mad at them? Because they're... It's just like... But it's what you strive for. Yeah. Which is... It's a...

it's kind of a double edged sword. Like I do root for you, root for that business. You root for that person to be like, you should be able to get as big as you want. But then they also become so dominant that it's a problem.

It's like music where it's like the indie stuff. Yeah. When people become super successful, they're like, oh, like they sold out. Metallica was like that. Yeah. Yeah. It was like, there's a lot of people who don't like it because like you sold out. Yeah. But you guys agreed to sell out pretty early. You guys did it early on. I'm just reading this quote here from Rolling Stone. Yeah.

Sousou Cui magazine. Yeah. It's a good one. Sousou Cui magazine. Yeah. Yeah. Farm edition. Farm edition. Like there was another edition. Farmers that sold out. Yeah. Shay Mooney. Actually, the only person on the list. Shay Mooney. You're the only farmer that's ever sold out. Yeah. Yeah.

There's no one. Everyone's still grinding. But Shay Mooney bailed pretty quickly. I'm like, guys, I don't want to do this no more. I don't think it's sustainable. This is bad. Some famous people from Arkansas. Bill Clinton from Hope. Sam Walton. Didn't grow up in Arkansas, but moved there later. Oh, yeah. Bentonville. Johnny Cash. Glenn Campbell. Wow, I didn't know Johnny Cash was there. Gianna Cash, yeah. When did he die? I don't know.

2003, I think. He's dead? Okay, a while ago. Yeah. This is the first I'm hearing of it. Yeah. That's, yeah, he's from, people will, Justin Moore is from Arkansas, country singer. Joe,

Who else? It's one of the Joes. Yep. You're right. Smith. Joe Smith. I don't know. Yep. Great guy. Billy Bob Thornton. Oh. I'd do that. Scotty Pippen. I think Billy Bob Thornton might have, we might have the same birthday. Oh, yeah? I don't know that for a fact. Who do you think's older? Shay or Aaron? I thought you were going to say, who do you think's older? Shay or Billy Bob Thornton? I think I know. I think Shay is barely older. I'm older?

Really? Yeah. How old are you? 29. You're 29 now? I'm 29. When did you turn 30? December 27th. Wow. I'm a month older than him. Yeah. You're senior way older. You can tell it too. Yeah. You can tell. You're so much older. We're both at the same point of our career. Here's the deal. I feel like if someone was guessing who's older, you or Nate, I feel like that would be harder. Why? Because I feel like I look old. Yeah. Yeah.

I could look anywhere. I'm going to look like this for a long time, and you're kind of the similar situation. I know, but I... Like, if you dyed your beard, there would be no indication of how old you are. Nate's reverse aging. He is. Yeah.

If I told someone I was 45, they'd be like, sounds right. That sounds about right. Bill Bob Thornton was born in August, by the way. It's not even close. Same birthday, though. I guess that story I've been telling for the last 10 years. Every time it comes up, oh, Bill Bob Thornton? Yeah, I think we have the same birthday. We share a birthday. What is his birthday? August 4th.

You better get him something. My sister's birthday is August 5th, so it's the same. It's the same. That's what you meant. That's what I meant. It was all tied up. And he could have been born at midnight. We don't know. He doesn't know. He doesn't. They didn't even keep time back then. Yeah, they didn't back then. When was time introduced in Arkansas? 19...

Well, we call it the 50s because we didn't keep track before that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just found out a couple years ago that the 40s, 30s, and 20s happened. Yeah. Yeah. So, I don't know. Who knows? No one knows. No one knows. In Arkansas, no one knows. But...

So get up when the sun comes up. Yeah. Go to bed when it goes down. That's right. Yeah. The winters are pretty short days. Daylight saving time. Y'all really love it. Yeah. It's nice. Does that matter for you as farmers? Would you ever know that? It would if we were making our living like sowing the fields. Why does that matter for farmers? Well, it's for more sunlight.

Oh. Basically. So why don't they just keep it? It doesn't make any sense. We've all been talking about it. I don't think the farmers want it. I don't know who wants it. I don't think anyone's been like, we've got to protect this daylight savings time. Do y'all talk about daylight savings a lot in the farming community? Yeah, we'd talk about it. More than people think. Well, we'd have our daylight savings time weekly meeting. Yeah. More than people think, maybe not as much as people want. Yeah. And we had to do that. There was a call for that as well because we didn't keep time. So it was a, you know.

we had to do that and they'd be like oh we know it's a Tuesday he does it yeah he goes good afternoon everybody and they go what are you talking about it's 11 in the morning he has no reason no way he could know that yeah some movie shot in Arkansas Sling Blade probably the most popular convenient yep for Billy Bob yeah it really worked out oh yeah yeah he's from there you know he was born on my birthday yeah I mentioned I have short term memory loss yeah

Do you ever, were you old enough to remember when Clinton was president? Yeah. Yeah. He goes, dropped my head like, yeah. No, I remember. Yeah, I was there. So he was president when you were born? Have you forgotten? Probably after you were born. Yeah, he was, I mean, I was born in 91. And he was president like 90, yeah. You don't remember at all.

I do remember. But he was president until 2000. Yeah, he was. Yeah. I don't remember when he got elected. So you were born in 91? Yeah. So you were nine. I think he was. Yeah. Yeah. So you were barely. Barely. I was doing pretty good, though. You were pretty good. I was smarter back then. You're always like, yeah, of course, dude. That's crazy. I watched a lot older. Here's the thing about- You were maybe eight months old when you were born. Yeah.

Here's the thing about Arkansas. You were already having to milk cows at 8. I was born in there. They're like, we want you to be around them. You're going to be with them quite a bit. But we had to like... In Arkansas, you got everything later than everyone else. Oh, really? So like my TV shows that I love, like Andy Griffith is my favorite show. And I found out like that...

maybe 15 years old that those weren't current shows. That happened to me too. I mean, it was kind of devastating. It has nothing to do with Arkansas. I was like, I can't wait to fulfill my dream of meeting Andy Griffith. This is going to be awesome. And he was like 80 by the time that I got to. And then I discovered Batlock and I was like, this is the same guy? He was like 70 in that show. I thought the same thing with Andy Griffith because it was always, it was black and white

And I just never thought that it was like, we've talked about here, that it came out in the 40s or something. It was 60s. Yeah, that's crazy. I thought it was even in the 50s. It's still one of the best shows of all time. It's unbelievable. That would be, is that how you grew up? That's how we would picture it. Yes. Yeah. That's exactly. Andy Griffith is, that's pretty much.

Just so people at home could listen. They're trying to wrap their head around it. Yeah. It's pretty much Mayberry. It's Mayberry. It's Mayberry. But there's like, you know, everybody... Yeah, you knew everyone. And it was... I mean, out of 511 people, I don't think I've ever seen 50 of them. Yeah. We always wondered about that. Of like, did they make that up? What is your town? Is it like... So it's... Would y'all go to a restaurant? Like, do you have a downtown square or anything? No. No. No. You probably saw that little...

Post office. Yeah, that's the center of town. Yeah. The natural dam that I showed you, that is like where people come from all over and go to that. It's a pretty famous place to live. What did you say that arena was? That one, and that's a pretty new arena. They built that in like 2009.

eight or nine or maybe even later than that. But I mean, how do they build an arena in such a small town? And it's not that big. When you think like a rodeo arena, like it's not like... Oh, it's a rodeo arena. It's not like it's Bridgestone. It holds like maybe 600 people. It's pretty small. We don't have to be talking about as much as we are talking about. We keep going back to it. It's not a place I'll be going to do a concert in. So what is that? It's an outdoor pavilion.

I don't know. It's not famous enough for it to be an interesting point. Who books that? I think that a lot of people that live. Have you done a show there? No. In town? No, I have not. At Heroes Arena? No, no. What if you went back and did one for Heroes? Maybe I should. I'd be the hero of that arena. I mean, would you, is there, where would you have grown up going to concerts? That was not a thing. We didn't like. You didn't. What was the first concert you ever went to? I went to a concert. It was in Little Rock. Little Rock.

That's like four hours away. Oh, really? Yeah. So in Fort Smith, they would have some things with like little stuff. We got skillet one time at my high school, which was a huge deal. And that was like maybe – I think it held like 1,600. Y'all cooked on the skillet. It was a cooking show. Yeah. You couldn't believe it. Yeah, couldn't believe it. But they came through there. Why is this food hot? Yeah.

What's happening? So you got the band. They taught us about popcorn there. Y'all would have to drive to Little Rock for a big concert. For a big concert. Or Oklahoma City, which we never did. It was just not something we did. And so the first, I went and saw a couple concerts in Little Rock. But it was not a thing that we... Concerts just weren't a thing that I did when I really grew up until I got a little older. Where I was like, I found out it was a thing, really. I mean, our performances were at churches. What was the first concert you went to?

I can't remember. I know that I went to, I listened, I grew up, listened to a lot of like Christian gospel and it was casting crowns was one of the first ones. Yeah. Arena shows that I saw. Yeah. And then I did see Rascal Flats and I thought that was like, I was like, oh my, this is the biggest. I, that was the, the perspective I had growing up. Like the bands I listened to were like a lot of Christian rock and like I listened to R&B and stuff, but I had no perspective. Like I thought Reliant K was the biggest band in the world. Yeah. And I was like, yeah, they're, they're absolutely massive.

and they were big ish in our world but in your world and you y'all did a bunch of church shows right and I remember talking to your dad about wasn't it you won a lot at these yeah well we did this thing called the Fine Arts Festival yeah which I'm pretty sure that the Jonas Brothers also did I think I talked to Nick about this I think that they did it as well like a long time ago they grew up

you know, in church. I think their dad was actually maybe an assembly of God pastor. I know he was a pastor, but I think he was like, my grandpa was a pastor, but we grew up doing this thing called the fine arts festival. And so like you would go and you would do that, like a, you do it at the state level and you would get like a score. And if you did that, you got to go to nationals, which was always usually in a different big city. Like the year that I won, it was in Florida, but they had these big, like it's,

churches from all over the country. And so you do this thing. And if you win, you get like a scholarship. It's like a big, like a music full ride to go to college kind of thing. And so I'd won it in like 2009, I think. And it was like, I thought it was huge. There's probably 10,000 people. And that was like my biggest. Oh, they performed for it. That I performed for. And I was like, this is the biggest. Well, it's a pretty big thing. It's a big, yeah. Naturally to win. You were the...

You won it. Yeah, I won it. 2009 National. Oh, wow. There it is. We found it. It would have been in a male solo or, yeah, something like that. You know what? Vocal solo male, yeah. Joseph Adams. Actually, Shea eighth place. Is this just a list of all the people who did it? Yeah. It might be. I don't know. There I am. Shea Mooney. Simply a God. Cedarville, Arkansas. Superior with honors. Wow. Wow. Wow.

I wonder what Cole Miller's doing. Let's look up Cole Miller. Cole, if you're listening to that. He's a huge Nate Land fan. He's just finding out that I'm the same guy that beat him. He's like, that son of a gun, dude. That's cool. So I bet if you could track a lot of entertainers, I bet they go back to someone's a pastor in that family. Yeah. When you really think about it. Because it's kind of...

It is crazy. It's like, it's because it's, they're performing and they're doing, you know, they're talking and they're having to do this. But, you know, I think Chris Rock's dad or grandfather was a pastor. And like, I bet you could trace some stuff back to some pastors. And that like, because you think a lot of times when someone does something like this, there's usually, there's something that's kind of like,

Maybe it's just the stage of like just that position of being on stage of that being like, I want to do that. You want to be on stage. Yes. I think that's the, probably the main draw at the beginning of just like, I want to be on that side of it. And I feel like it always feels natural. I don't know if it was like this for you too, but it was when you're on stage and maybe it's just like, maybe it's a selfish thing of just like, I like to be on this side of it. Yeah.

and be the person performing just because that's my you know your personality but if like there's a you either know like when you're on stage you kind of know like this is I'm supposed to be

On this side of it. Yeah. Well, it depends on you. I mean, you grew up on the stage with singing in church, so you were really, really on the stage a lot. Yeah. I mean, when I was probably literally three years old, I remember going, this was before we moved across or down the street. And I mean, I say down the street, it's 100 yards away from that church to the right. There was another tiny church. And there was a parsonage there.

It's basically where the pastor and their wife live. They build a little house. It was right next door. That's where my buddy lived in too. They're great. They're great. If you can find a personage for sale, they're pretty good. They're fine. But anyways, I remember going up on stage when I was like three. I have a lot of memories of this going up. My dad would play steel guitar and he played bass and my mom would play piano. So I would just go up.

like on the stage, and I got a guitar that had maybe five strings, and it was not tuned. And I would sit there with my ear against the guitar, and I'd just be rocking for like a good hour of us thinking, me thinking I was nailing it. Could they see? When did you start singing? And they were like, oh. Just in all those competitions, you were winning them? It was early. I mean, it was like...

By the time I was like four, we had this thing called the Booster Band. We'd come up there. You were already in. And I'd go up there. It was just literally before worship started. We had the Booster Band. We'd do songs like Father Abraham. You know that one? Father Abraham and many sons. And you'd do the whole, you'd spin around. We can't do that. YouTube will shut us off. We can't talk about this no more. Don't sing the whole song. Don't sing the whole one. We don't have the rights to it. But that's what I would always like performing. And then we started doing like,

where me and my sisters would sing together. And then we started singing at church. And we were just always the singing Moonies. That was it. My mom tried to name us one time. She was like, guys, I think I have this great idea. What about Moonsong? And I was like, Mom, I don't think you ever need to think. You don't need to be the name person. I don't think you need that responsibility. Well, it's funny. When you started, a lot of people don't know, you first signed with T-Pain. Yeah.

So he was first out with T-Pain. Heard you on YouTube? Yeah, it was on YouTube. And then you went on the road with T-Pain. Yeah, basically lived with him for a while. He was a big country music fan. Is he really? Yeah, he was a super talented guy. T-Pain, Chris Brown was on the tour? Yeah, some of the craziest stuff happened.

Yeah, that's about all we get. No, it was awesome. It was great. I just, I had never been outside of like my little world really. And so I was just kind of experiencing life. It was in Atlanta? Atlanta, yeah. So you go to Atlanta and you just stay at his house?

else yeah i had like an apartment but that's you know his studio was there so we'd just be there every single day and and were you making your own you're kind of solo at that point would you open if they were in a duo yeah would you open for him or anything or no we did some stuff but it wasn't like it wasn't a time where he was really touring yet he was in the beginning when i first uh did that when i first met him was on the road and we did that in memphis

And, but yeah, it was, I was there for a year and a half or something like that before I started, or I started coming to Nashville pretty immediately, but I was coming back and forth like four and a half hours from Nashville and Atlanta. Like so broke, so broke. Does he see you? Do you ever talk to him now? A little bit. Yeah. Yeah. We stay in touch a little bit. Yeah. He just sees it now. I mean, he sees it now and he's like, yeah, that's what I saw. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, he took it. He took a chance at the beginning and I, yeah, there's no,

No hard feelings. So you, T-Pain, Chris Brown, do you think that's a different vibe on the tour bus than the three of us? You think a little bit different? I think it's very similar. Who do you think, too? I'd love to play this game. I'd love to play this game.

I would say who's Chris Brown? Who's Chris Brown? Who's T-Pain? Who's Jay Mooney? Who's me? I'd say Brian. You'd have to be me, I'd say. Yeah, that's probably Chris Brown. Yeah, that's what you think. Does Chris Brown have a CPAP? I don't know who would be funnier as Chris Brown. I don't know if you'd be funnier as T-Pain. CPAP opens up for Chris Brown. Yeah.

It's just... That's my rap name. That's his rap name. CPAP. C-PAP, dude. Yeah. First line, can I get a plug? Can I get a plug? Somebody have an outlet. CPAP. CPAP. Low battery. Low battery. Get the flow going. Yeah, yeah. Turn my airflow up real quick. Turn my airflow up real fast. Get the humidity down a little bit. You're right. Here we go. He goes...

You know the CPAP. I know all the terms. Is the air conditioning on too low? Who's throat-titchy, everybody? Who's throat-titchy? It's only about a 10-minute performance, but it's got a lot of content in there. Yeah, I don't know. I think, yeah, you'd be me.

Yeah, you could be Chris Brown and we got T-Pain over here. He got a beard. I'll take it. I used to do that auto-tune with my chest. It's pretty good. That did sound amazing. It's Nate Lynn. Shaddaa!

So that's the whole thing. I'm super talented. That's my only talent. He's super talented. Like, oh, is he a singer? Like, kind of. I don't know. It's annoying to be honest. But when you first, it's amazing. Like, that's the thing. Can he sing without doing that? No, he can't. No, his chest. Wait till he takes his shirt off. And you're like, God, dude, your chest is really bruised.

I used to have a pretty big chest. It's all muscles, but it's just dead and dead. You got a real problem there. What's the hardest song to sing? Is it the... Aaron's a big fan of that. I'm going to start sending him voice memos exclusively. Have you heard his Alex Jones?

No, you don't want to do it? It's not. It's not as good as that. That'll really get us taken off of YouTube. What's the hardest song? The hardest song to sing? Is it the national anthem?

Is it $2,000? As far as like just hard to sing, like I just can't bring myself to sing that song. Yeah, I'd say the national anthem is always a – we don't do it.

Like, just period. You always hear that note is really hard. And it's not, like, I don't, to me, it's not hard for me to sing it. Yeah. But it is, my greatest fear is, like, forgetting lyrics. I don't care if we forget one of our songs. I've done that. You know, if you just, the crowd knows them. You just go, you're like, we're gonna drink tequila. Yeah, and you're just like, oh, they got it. You can do that during the national anthem, too, though. You just gotta, all right, y'all. But you gotta commit to it, because you're just like, yeah.

Like, that would be incredible. I'm just like, you guys know this one, right? Yeah. But that's the most terrifying song to sing. Because you just are expected to know it. It's a thing that there's no winning by doing the national anthem. It's a good point. It's no winning. You can only not mess it up. It's the most judged musical performance ever. But no one's doing it. But your winning is, it's powerful. We did a thing, like Whitney Houston did it. You have to be Whitney Houston. But it's...

But you have a voice like Whitney Houston. I am. People could like Whitney Houston. Do you think you'd get backlash if you did it auto-tune though? If you did the chest. We're about to find out. Cue the track. Yeah. Yeah.

It's just you can do well. Is the note hard to hit or something? I always thought I heard that. Yeah, I mean it gets high. Where you screw yourself is if you start it too high because people do that. That's why you'll see some people if they're not doing it to music and they'll have it like in their in-ears like we have it. We've done it before. Like you play it like it's in your in-ears like before it starts it goes and it gives you the key or a piano note and then three, four and then you just you do it off of click after that. But it's

It's terrifying because you might forget the words.

which like the whole country, it's not like a song that people are like, Oh yeah, I think I've heard that one. Like everyone knows it. It's not like, Oh, I think he said the wrong words, but maybe I was wrong. They know it's wrong. It's the most known song that you could possibly, I thought it was an Eagle. It's a Hawk. It's a Hawk. I thought it was an Eagle. There's no winning though. You've seen people. I mean, watch the only thing that you can watch is like people like the fray did it one time and just royally screwed it up. And it's amazingly hilarious. Yeah. I think it was the fray. If it wasn't the fray, sorry, the fray. Uh,

But it was... But it's something like that. I'm pretty sure it was the fray. And they tried to do it. I always thought it was a note. The note was like, people can't do that note or something like... I mean, it's a tough note to sing. What's the highest note in a song? Like, do you... I mean, that's loaded. What's the highest note in a song? Period. Is that how music works? I don't. I said I don't. But I mean, what song has a high... Like, that's like people... I mean, there's crazy notes. What song are you amazed by that's a famous song where you're like, I can't believe they sing that high? Is Whitney Houston...

Yeah. She's the one that sings the highest. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's one of those things too. It depends on whether I'm like a male or a female, like Whitney Houston's going to sing, like it's going to sound different. Like if I try, if I hit a really high note and it's at the top of your register, you just have to look at your like range of like what a high note really is because it's like, it's going to be impressive for someone who's like sings down here, like an Alan Jackson. If they hit a high C is ridiculous. Yeah. If I hit it, it's like, yeah, he sings like a girl. So you can hit it pretty easily. Yeah.

So it's kind of just a hit. Did he hit that high C? You had a lady up there? Yeah, of course she did. Oh, the woman singing that at the end of the song? Yeah. No, she hit it. Yeah, she hit it. She basically lives up there. Have you never seen her house? It's up in C-Town. Next to CPAP. Yeah, next to CPAP. They're doing well up there together. But I don't know what the... There's some high notes that that can be hit. The craziest stuff is like

the whistle notes, whistle tones that like Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey does his whistle. So it's like, they'll sing their highest note, like chest voice. And you know what a falsetto is like, it's not like a full voice. It's like a falsetto. Then above that you can, they, some people have this head voice that is like a whistle tone. Yeah. It's literally like, it's so it's, it's an octave above your highest note. It's crazy to hear. It's not very enjoyable to me to hear it, but.

It's up there. It's little, for just like moments, it's really cool. For little moments, it's amazing. Like Mariah Carey stuff. You ever see Mariah Carey do the national anthem at one of the Super Bowls? She does that. Yes. The last note. It hits it and everyone's like, whoa. She hits it for like two seconds. Yes. That's all you want. And it's pretty incredible. Yeah. Yeah. Because people just can't get there. Can you get there? Yeah.

Nate, I'm there right now. I'm singing so high that you haven't heard it. It's way out of your reach. The dog whistle. Yeah, it's the dog whistle. Are you getting into dog whistles? I'm getting into dog tones. That's my new kind of thing. You should say, I'm so high.

That'd be a great way to start out. I'm so high, and then that's going to be a clipboard right there. I'm so high that it's, you know, there it is. What's some ending fun? We've got some good ones. Arkansas is the only state where diamonds are actively discovered and mined. That's pretty exciting. That's why you all had a farm? Yes. Because you all just thought one day you were going to stumble on. Have you ever been to the crater of Diamond State Park? Yes.

I have. Yeah. And my, my wife loves it. She likes to go like, she's, she wanted to be an archeologist like growing up. That was like her thing. And she would go there and,

And I don't know if it was that specific state park. What if we just pictures of your wife up? It would be unbelievable. She's down there. It's like, no, you're going to see her. She's there. So, I mean, tell us what's going on at this park. You see that house right there? Yeah. Yeah. That's where we live. Well, you paid. That wasn't there. You pay to go there and then any diamonds you find, you get to keep. You can keep them. Oh, really? If y'all saw a family walking into that house, would y'all yell new money at them? Yeah.

What's crazy is that you go underneath, there's a whole house under there. Yeah. That's just the, so they're like, ah, we don't want to go in this crappy little house. I'd love to know if someone lived there. They're just like, God, this was a great deal, but hell. Yeah. There's people in my yard all the time. This is incredible. Well, I don't even have a yard. I got dirt. Yeah. I'll have to do some weed eating. There's just a guy in there with just a gun in there. He's like, if they find one, he's like, they're going to regret it. Somebody just gets a big haul. Just, there he is. Wow.

Wow. That guy looks like he might be holding some sort of weapon there on the left. I mean, it's so funny to go look for diamonds. You're like, where are you digging? You know where everybody else digs the same all the time. It's not like a new hole. You're just like, yeah. There's been 5,000 visitors this week. I think we are going to be the ones. Some guy just back in September found one of the biggest ones ever. Yeah, it was massive. How big was it? It was like nine carats or something. Nine carats. There? Yeah. Oh, wow. How much is that worth?

At least 100 grand. Yeah, I think it was about 100 grand, they said. I made that up and I nailed it. I thought it'd be a lot more. The three largest diamonds ever found in America were found in Arkansas. Is it worth... That's a lot. That guy right there, yeah. He found a nine carat. Is nine carats enough to spend your life? He looks pretty happy with himself. He looks like...

He said he almost did. So I guess you take the rocks to the check-in station and then they tell you if they're worth anything. He said he almost didn't even show that one because he thought it was nothing. They called him in the back office and said, you found the second largest one we've ever had. That's crazy. I mean, that's the second largest one?

I guess I just don't know a lot about diamonds. That looks like nothing. If you told me that guy was your brother-in-law, I'd believe it. He looks like maybe a mixture between both of you guys. That looks like both of you.

The fact that you guys aren't laughing, I guess that means it's insult. No, it's great. It's not an insult. It's just very – if I saw you all walk up together. Would that be worth it? I wish it was. To go find that little of a dime. A hundred grand is a lot of money. But – Yes, it would be. Yeah, it would be worth it for sure. It would be worth it. How long do you think that guy was there? Ten minutes. Yeah, that guy, he said ten minutes. No, he was there one – I think he found out like two or three. Yeah, you just go. You're just going to do it. Yeah, that would be fine. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, you're now, you don't even care. You're doing, yeah. Like, oh, it's just 100 grand. You still got T-Pain living. I would do it for $500. I'd be stoked. But it seems like people commit their entire lives. That's what I never get about the treasure hunting shows. Yeah. Where it's like, when I hear about treasure, it's like, you better be getting millions of dollars because they're spending a lot of money to be there. And then they find this gold and it's like, yeah, we're going to be able to make it to the next season because we found this gold.

Yeah. They're not like finding this massive home. You think it's going to be like $30 million and then like, or even a million or even 500 grand. But like, it's most of the time it's like, this is awesome. It's like eight grand. And it's like, that's a lot of money, but you've also been, you've also spent a hundred to get here this year. Yeah.

Why didn't you save the 100? For the most part, even the big ones, they just find... You like this guy, don't you? Sorry. This guy's good. What's his name? He looks like a Brian a little bit. Or a Gary.

And Canard. Carl, maybe? Canard. What's his name? Carl Canard? Carl Canard. Carl Canard. This guy didn't want anyone coming after his diamond is what it was. Like, what's your name? Carl Canard? Yeah.

carl carl he's like don't you be coming after this diamond all right he's like that's not even his he's shaved right before this he didn't want anyone to recognize him he's like now that i got money i don't need to be recognized he's a missouri fan he got that hog hat out of the gift shop

shaved right before were you a Hulk fan I am I'm a huge Razorback fan so did you like Darren McFadden was probably in your childhood Darren McFadden was yeah that was like incredible Darren McFadden was like the great he was a hero but I honestly the game they lost to Tennessee the what the game they lost to Tennessee the dark times I know do you remember that yeah I do the fumble Clint Sterner yeah yeah

I watched, honestly, mainly. That Tennessee game was brutal. Yeah. What is it? And they played USC and just got destroyed. That was Matt Jones. Matt Jones. And Darren McFadden. Matt Jones actually bought, like, this was like the big claim to fame to Natural Dam at the time. Like, he bought property. He never went there, but he bought like 200 acres. Oh, wow. Like, coming into Natural Dam. And I don't think he ever went there. And it wasn't like, he never built a house or anything. And it also, 200 acres.

there is like at that time it was probably like $30,000. Yeah. It was pretty cheap. It's going up after this podcast. It is. It is. It's going up a lot. The world's first cheese dip was invented in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Now we're talking. To this day the world cheese dip championship is held in Little Rock each year. That might explain why I have a real issue. Yeah. That's how John Daly got made.

Just cheese dip and beer. Yeah, it was. Some factory somewhere. You've heard of beer cheese? Yeah. He was the first one. He was the first one. John Daly, the most. Another famous Arkansas. Yeah. He's awesome. He's a national. John Daly golfer. I was just talking to someone about him. Crazy, because everybody kind of knows him. We were talking about, is he the most, outside of Tiger, is he the most famous golfer in the world? Not counting like Jack Nicklaus.

Not kind of like Phil Mickelson? John Daly is – I think John Daly is probably more famous than both of those guys. I would argue. Yeah.

Dude, I mean, John Daly, a big yellow mullet, big fat guy that wears his stuff and the stories that go with him, he's talked about on everything. He's the Bill Murray of golf. If you know nothing about golf, you're not going to – like you could be like, I don't know Phil Mickelson. Or maybe you've heard his name or something like that. John Daly is of stories. They talk about his stories, his gambling, his – you know, it's – you're just – his name is everywhere. And just he's –

Everybody knows. Everybody knows. He is. He's like the fourth most expensive cameo. Is he really? It's like $780 to get him to make a video. Dude. But he, John Daly, I mean, say how crazy, maybe the most talented golfer to ever live as well. Yeah. Yeah.

Pure talent. His son is very, very talented. His son's... $750 for a cameo. $750. 24-hour delivery, though. He's on top of it. He's on top of it, yeah. Yeah, well, for $750... The grip it and rip it king. Do you do cameo? I do not. I don't either. They ask a lot. They ask quite a bit, yeah. A lot of them. A lot of different people. Yeah, yeah. I know. Hey, you want to talk to me? How many workers do you guys have? This is incredible. Yeah. John Daly's got... I would argue that he is...

maybe the he's up there man I mean I know if you're into golf you think no but you gotta think people that don't know nothing about golf they all know John Daly before I got obsessed with golf and it wasn't just because he was from Arkansas I knew who John Daly was and who Tiger Woods was obviously knew who Tiger Woods was but that was I didn't know Phil Mickelson going I feel like Phil Mickelson has become more famous in the last yeah three or four years yeah he really had a resurgence because people almost they got to know his comedian you know Justin Thomas yeah Justin Rose yeah you've heard of Justin Rose yeah but

He was leading the Masters. His blood was. His blood was. Yeah. Trying to think of someone to... But when I was growing up watching golf with my uncles and stuff, I feel like it was always Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were always for a long time. Phil got fame. I feel like Phil was like... He benefited off of... Not that he was... Of course, he's unbelievable. But you know what I mean? That rivalry right there was like he was the... Not the villain, but he was the... Yeah. You know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It was. John Daly just kind of, you got to think of all the people that don't watch golf know who he is. And the people that watch golf all know him. Everyone that watches golf. Everybody that watches golf or even someone aware of golf knows Phil Mickelson. They definitely know John Daly. No one's going to want who's John Daly. So you got all those people, everybody that would know them. And now you got to look at the people that know nothing about golf.

Well, and you're thinking the people who know Jack Nicklaus are dying off. Younger people don't know him as well. I mean, the people that are not into golf, I don't – yeah, I mean, who – yeah, if you're – John Daly's still around. Like, you still see his hair. You still see his – you know, like – He's out of Old Hickory right now. Yeah, right now, yeah. He's golfing in Tennessee. Big drop to him today. But that's – yeah, if you saw – you also think about recognize –

If you recognize someone in public, just for a random person, I would see him and be like, I think that's that golfer guy. Yes. Even if they didn't know his name. He's got so specific. He's got such a specific look. Theo Vaughn. That's why Theo Vaughn gets – I mean, Theo Vaughn's got such a – the mullet and the specific look. Anywhere he goes, you're like, yeah, that's the – There's no guessing. There might be another guy who looks exactly like him. No, that's – Phil Mickelson, he'd be a guy. Yeah. If you saw him on the golf course. If you see –

John Daly on a golf course, you're going to know it's him from a couple holes away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're going to know. Here it comes. You're going to know. All right. Let me wrap this up. Yeah, somewhat. Otherwise, they're way, way more. No, there's a couple more. The World Championship Duck Calling Contest is every year in Stuttgart, Arkansas. Oh. It's the duck capital of the world. Can you do a duck call? No, I cannot.

ducks ducks and ducks and ducks no I'm like yeah I got a pretty good one like that I'm a world world champion gold caller so I think I got this Ian Goats do you know the state beverage of Arkansas the state beverage yeah I mean I would guess sweet tea but that's definitely not it um

Oh, let me think. Dr. Thunder. It's got to be Dr. Thunder. It's not that specific. It's just like soda, milk. I was going to say, it's got to be milk. Yeah.

That makes sense. You ever heard of the Falk Monster? I'll end on this. Falk? F-O-U-K-E. Falk Monster. The Southern Sasquatch. What the Falk is that? Here we go. Comedy. It's a Southern Sasquatch that roams in Southern Arkansas and destroys livestock and farmland. And it became famous in 1971 when it grabbed a guy on a hunting trip.

And then they made a movie about it, The Legend of Boggy Creek. Are you serious? And it's become like a cult classic. We have one of those. His name is just Barry, though. Is it Uncle Terry? Did he grow? He did. Turns out he did grow. Turns out he grows every night. I've got to watch this movie. This looks incredible. Yeah, it's a low-budget movie, The Legend of Boggy Creek. It was like the number 11 highest grossing film of that year. Are you serious? Really? Wow. Yeah.

And people have been claiming to see this monster for years. Really? Yeah. Well, we did have a guy. He's probably not listening to this podcast, so I can talk about him. There was a guy that was in our town that was just in the woods. It was kind of scary. He went to jail a few times. He was squatting in a couple different homes. We knew him, and he would come to our church and stuff.

And we're all like, maybe we should trust this guy. Yeah. And it was, yeah, he went to jail. But anyways, that was Barry. And he was very, a strong guy. It might have been him. Yeah, they made a movie about him. Could have been him, to be honest. I should let them know they made a movie about him. He's actually famous. He is very famous.

He's killing it. All right. Arkansas. Arkansas. Super. Arkansas. Super. Go listen to Eric, Dan, and Shay. I like to say that. You're selling out arenas all over. Hey, buddy. You haven't checked out just music. Yeah. Dan and Shay. Is it Dan Plus? Am I reading that right? Am I reading that? Yeah.

On both of them. There's only one guy. Yeah, supposed to be there. Supposed to be a duo. We're going to try to get you to make a song for the podcast. Yep. You bailed on that. Oh, well, I already wrote one. I've written two. Then we get Doug to it. Yeah, well, you know. Yeah, what was your song? Yeah, how'd it go? No, he did write a song. I don't know. I don't have it. I'll play it. Yeah. What was it? It was...

If you need a hand, this night land could be a pretty good one. Yeah. I just made that one up, but let's see. We can play it again, this night land. I guess. I've got a lot of them. I could do this all day long. Yeah. So you can have a soft approach where you just have music and then you just say, night land.

That was one of the ideas. We have, uh, we dug did ours. Safety suit. That sounds like you said it in a way where it's just like this guy. We're just playing safety suit. Uh,

We're going to have to be. Yeah. Yeah. And then it goes, hello folks. What if that was. Yeah. It just goes. I mean, I think more people would listen to this podcast if it started out saying in goats.
