Hello, folks. Welcome to Nate Land. I'm Nate Bargetzi, Aaron Weber, Brian Bates. Welcome, everybody. You know, I've debated of changing, seeing what people thought about changing Hello Folks. To what? To Let's Go Folks. Is that not maybe better? Let's go, folks. Yeah. It's like, I feel like it gets us out of the...

Mix of everybody being hello folks. Like people say hello folks. Folks. Yeah. Just as a normal expression. As a normal expression.

And I mean, I've had people say, hello, folks. I mean, because there's been a couple of times someone said it, and then I think they're saying it to us, and then you're like, oh, that's just how the guy speaks. Yeah. So you want to do let's go. Let's go, folks. Because we're making fun of let's go, no? Yeah, I mean, that's not bad. I'm on board. People are commenting let's go everywhere now after last week's episode. So I feel like we can't escape it anyway. Let's see what everybody says.

see what everybody thinks about it. See how it feels. See how it feels. Let's go folks. Like that's so specific that it's like, if you say that, then you definitely know who they are. Right. Like that's how we can all talk to each other. Cause nobody says, and then we're just trashing the let's go people.

And they think, oh, that's cool. You say, let's go. You're like, yeah, I do say it. And then we, all of us folks know we're better than them. And that's the real goal here. Yeah. We just want everybody to know we're better. You think you're better than me? That's the attitude we bring. No, I don't know. Let's go, folks. I like it. That's the new podcast tagline. You think you're better than me? You think you're better than me? I'm sorry, what'd you say? Do you think you're better than me? Let's go, folks. I like it. Let's see what people think.

I think it's fun. I think it makes it, you know, stands out. It like makes it more, you know, because I had a Hello Folks recently.

And, well, one was a listener, and it was great. And so we talked to them. But then sometimes it is. It's a mix of you're like, what happened this weekend? So I had a mix-up. I went to have a pretty awesome weekend. Great Father's Day. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. We went to Derek Trucks, Tedeschi Trucks concert.

And we're friends with Derek and Susan. They're both wonderful, wonderful people. Amazing people to be friends with. They're, you know, I mean, her voice is unreal. And then he's a prodigy, like a true child prodigy. He was in the Allman Brothers, his uncle's Butch Allman. And he joined the Allman Brothers at nine years old. Harper's about to be nine. Nine. Nine.

I asked him, I was like, how crazy is that? That's pretty crazy. I never thought about it like that. When you put it, Harper's about to be nine. Yeah. And it would be like, she's going on tour with the Allman Brothers. I'd like to see that. And when he was nine, he would play, he told me three to four songs. And then by the time he was 11, he was just full time in the band and doing their full tour. 11. 11 years old.

And good enough to be on the stage at the Allman Brothers. That's crazy. So still pretty good.

Still not bad. I mean, I was definitely the band to allow kids to do that. I don't know anything about bands. Like, people are just trash bands. You're like, if any band could have a kid and you would think he's good enough, all my brothers are the band for that. Yeah, yeah. Makes sense. It wasn't Led Zeppelin, where I don't know. Did y'all talk about Jacksonville Jaguars football? We did. He's very excited about the Jags. Trevor Lawrence. Yep, yep. He's a big Jags fan. And so he...

It was awesome to get to watch him. I mean, they're just great, great people. Anyway, so we're standing. We got to stand on stage. And a lot of people came up and said, what's up? And people listen to the podcast too. So I'm standing on stage and this dude walks up and he goes, do you always feel like you have to take the obligatory picture? Yeah.

And I had so many people come up and say like, hey, big fan, whatever. And I go, no, no, it's fine, man. And he goes, oh, you don't feel that? And I was like, I go, oh, you mean just a picture of the band. So he was like straight up, dude, I put my arm on him. Like I go, nah, man. And he looked like a...

uh, like a Harley guy, you know, like, so it definitely did not. I was surprised. I was super surprised. He did not, he didn't fit who I think would be at the show. Yeah. And, uh, not my, my show, not his, not Derek truck show, but, uh, but they, but Hey, I was like, nah, man, I'm not touched him. I go, nah, it's fine. He goes, you don't. And I'm like,

Oh, you mean of them? Yeah, he's just making conversation, dude. He's like, yeah, dude, I'm just trying to, you don't want to take a picture of the onstage? And I go, I guess. And then, and we took, I mean, I was taking some pictures. And that's what he's talking about. And so that made me, that's almost what started the hello folks into the let's go folks. Speaking of pictures, we had, after we talked about this last week,

uh at my shows in chattanooga this weekend i opened for jeff allen and immediately after one of the shows he sold out every show immediately after the show someone ran up to me and goes hey i watched the podcast yeah love it and then they had jeff take a picture of uh of me with them yeah right after i mean this is right after the show yeah he thought it was he thought it was funny yeah he thinks it's funny

Yeah. Yeah. That ever had. Yeah. For as, as a, if you're a fan and you listen to it,

I mean, just respect to the headliner. Just don't make him take the picture. You know, it's always even a weird thing too. You don't always like come up and be, you know, it's like, go say something to you. Yeah. Then this is all very specific. I know people are going to be like, Hey man, I'm just trying to say hello. I don't need to follow your rules. You don't have to follow the rules. You can do whatever, do whatever you want to go do. Uh,

but you tend to, people would always say that. I'd always, I remember big J had a great answer to that because people would always come up and sometimes and say, uh, man, I thought you were funnier than the headliner. That's, that's like a, that's like a famous thing that people say. And, uh, Jay always had a great thing that he said. He goes, I mean, I did 20, I did 15 minutes. Yeah. He's like, there's a big difference.

So it's like if you say that to go like, yeah, I've got to – if you're the middle act, that's notoriously the best –

gig in the world. It's the sweet spot. It's the sweet spot. Check started out. Host just went up. The audience is excited. They're settled in and you get to go do 15 minutes and murder your best 15. That's right. You can do the best 15 in your life because nobody knows your material. Whereas the headliner is probably working on a new hour or something. Yes. He's got a new hour. He's got a new whatever. And so it's like that tends to be, not saying a headliner should be

as you headline, my goal is to like, I need to make you forget the, I mean, in a good and bad way. But my job is to hopefully you forget who even the opening act was. Cause I'm trying to do that good. And so that's, that's typically what, you know, that's what I try to do. Make everybody forget you guys. Uh,

And I mainly go out and tell them. I start rumors up there. Y'all don't ever hear the beginning of my set. That'd be the last time you guys see those guys. Aaron stole some stuff off the bus. And Bald Eagle over here. I don't even know how he got here. But that's, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if people wonder those insights of the care.

They are just like, I'm just trying to say I'm a big fan. Yeah, people be like, hey, you were funnier than the headliner or something. And you're like, yeah, but if I were the headliner, you wouldn't be here at all. Yeah. You didn't come to see me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's a big difference between doing 15 minutes and an hour. I mean, too, they don't realize. I'd like to watch you for the hour. You're like, eh, you wouldn't have. You think you would have. About 20 minutes in, you'd be like, where's the next guy? Yeah, yeah. You would say it about the other guy.

Yeah. It's just, when you start headlining and people really come for someone, they, then it, then it just changes. They don't, I feel like that kind of goes away because they're just excited to see who they want to see. And, uh, so then, but then you still want the show to be good. I mean, that's how, when I, you know, getting you like you guys openings, I want the show to be great. Like I will, you, I would not bring you on the road. If you bomb,

That's how you get off the road. You'd always hear stories about that. Sometimes people will bring bad opening acts so it makes the headline... So the headliner then looks better. And I never understood that. I've always heard people have done that. But...

I've never understood that. I would think, because I want the show to be better, I would be furious. If I followed and you bombed, I would be so mad. I got to fix your nonsense. I got to go up and now get this crowd in the mood for a show. You should just be, they're teed up. Just go have a great set, murder, and then get out of there. Yeah.

That's all we want. Yeah, you have the confidence knowing you're going to do great no matter how good the feature is. You're going to still not have a problem. The comics I know who bring really weak openers are veterans who haven't written a new act in years. And they're kind of just sailing. And they don't want a strong opener because they have to work. Because they're doing the same act. Yeah. And so when you've got to build, I mean, it helps you build a better act when you have to follow good acts.

And the crowd, I mean, you give them, it's a show. It's a whole show. So you want them to be like, yeah, this whole thing was awesome. The whole experience was great. So, but overall, yeah, we went, so I went to, yes, we got to go to the Tedeschi trucks and then we got to go to NASCAR. NASCAR was in Nashville. And first time it's been,

there i think 37 years or something like that wow and uh it was awesome how many people were there i mean it looked like it was hundreds of thousands yeah i don't know what the attendance is but i mean it had to be it was sold out was it the track out in like gladeville yeah yeah wow it was awesome i mean it was uh the it was just it was cool to see and cool to see everybody out there the race was

The race was great. I had like, so our neighbors all went with their, everybody brought their, all their daughters came. And so I've, I had them like betting. I'm getting them in and getting these kids gambling. Like, yeah. But they loved it. Like my daughter and all the other kids, they, they like loved it. Cause I said, all right, y'all get a pick.

two people that you think is going to win and whoever wins i'll give each of you 20 bucks and like they went in teams so then they went pick and it's funny because they don't know like some of them had like uh they're my daughter like her team her and carter their little friend she uh they first pick they go all right i want to pick uh like number 70 something 78 or something which i'm not trashing 78 but he was in the back

And so I was like, all right, well, don't. All right. I was like, pick from. I was like, you see the way they were lined up. I was like, I'd probably pick some cars up to the top. And Harper, I went one, uh,

One girl picks. She goes, I'll take 48. Harper goes, I'll take 47. And you're like, well, there's numbers on the cards. It's prices, right? Yeah. I go, let's pick a number that you see out there. But I mean, they were picking some cards. You're like, all right, let's not go too. I did it with Kentucky Derby with them too one time. I go, y'all can pick a horse, and whoever wins, I'll give you – if your horse wins, I'll give you 20 bucks.

And they, and I mean, they do, they just start picking the name they like and all this stuff. And, you know, it's a guy that's like 100 to 1. You're like, all right, well, let's, I want y'all to have fun and your horse might get shot before the race starts. So let's maybe go up a little bit and pick a different.

Kyle Larson won the race. He's number five. He was, I mean, no, I'm not talking about NASCAR, but I've never seen someone more dominant. Yeah. I mean, just, it looked like he shouldn't have been, no one else should have been out there. He would just, he would be, it looked like a joke.

Like he would be, he'd be, they'd restart it and he'd be like six cars back. And then he just, just drives by everybody. Like you're going, is his car just allowed to be faster than everybody? Yeah. I mean, just was like gone, dude. Uh, it was pretty funny. So in racing, if someone starts in the back, it's almost impossible for them to catch up.

Yeah, I think so. I mean, it's just their car is not good enough. And so if your car is not – I mean, if you drive your car versus – if you're in your Honda Accord and you're racing a Ferrari, it's going to be different. And I think that's just what it is. I would like to see that, though. Yeah. Brian racing in his Honda Accord. Yeah. Because right before the race starts, his blinker's on. And then just –

You boys ready? And there's just a girl out there with two, what's the, you know. The flags. The flags about to go start. Sir, your hazard's on real fast. And he goes, oh, sorry. And that's how before the race starts. Get his belongings. Yeah.

seatbelt on checks everything 10 and 2 10 and 2 mirror mirror's on or you're just going forward no one's gonna be coming behind you you don't go where your mirror still like it where it should be had a little squirrel issue so this car may not go because I'd like yeah the squirrel runs out

and watches the race and then goes back in i pull into the pits and a squirrel jumps out that's the your pits are just them hidden a broom on the top of the hood just trying to get the squirrels out of get on that's all you hear in brian's pits did he need gas no no he's got a ton of gas he's not going fast enough to burn it but we have a squirrel issue uh

So we thought they all got out. Get out. Get out. Get out of here. Your pit has just got wasp spray. Everybody, you know, they always have that big gas tank. The guy walks out and it's wasp spray. It's just spraying, trying to get the wasp nest out.

Oh. Is that the pace car? No, no. That gets Brian Bates. He's the track. The pace car passes him. He's got mothballs. Yeah. No sponsors on this car. No sponsors. Comets. Blag Daniels. Given the commitment you guys have to staying on topic, I feel like this could have still been called the Georgia episode and no one would have noticed. Yeah. Yeah.

We were about an hour in. I was like, I guess we're not touching Georgia. I guess we're not doing it. Yeah. I did not expect that to go the way it went, to be honest. I really thought we'd talk about Georgia. Jack from your house. I make jokes in online games for videos, and I've been struggling with where the line is as a Christian. It's good to hear you guys talk this out. This is by far one of the most serious episodes to date, but it's still so lighthearted, funny, and encouraging. I make jokes in online games for videos.

That's a job? I don't know. I've been struggling with the line is, is a Christian, like, is your job real? That's the line. That's the line that he's like, yeah, the jokes are very good and easy. Is what I'm doing legal? That's the question, you know?

Man, there's jobs that are coming. But that's a big thing on TikTok. You'll see as people are playing video games and they're all talking to each other and they're just like telling jokes and then they'll make compilations of those jokes. Yeah. And so that's like a... I don't know if this is his full-time job, but it's like a fun thing that he does, a hobby, I'm sure. Yeah. Maybe he does really well. You know, it's like, yeah, you can make fun of stuff, man. You can do whatever you want. It's like, just be, you know, just don't be hateful. Right. And that's where the online thing is.

Which I'm sure hopefully he's not. Christina Marshall. Honestly, I was nervous about this one, but it was so good. Butterscotch buying tickets to Nate's show is just the best illustration of their friendship dynamic. Best part of my Wednesday every week. Pretty good.

I actually went ahead and bought tickets to your show at the Opry House. Yeah. Even though I know I'm on it because I know there's going to be somebody in my life last minute going to say, I want. Can we get tickets? Yeah. So I just went ahead and grabbed a couple. Who's going with your mom to the Ryman show? Probably my wife. Okay. Yeah.

My old roommate texted me, how do I get in on this drawing to take Brian's mom to the show? Oh, you could have a folk take your mom. Imagine your mom having to go out and go. She's like, who am I going with? Well, it's someone we don't really know. Yes.

But this is the podcast. I bet they're going to be great people. Yeah. I would think I would put everybody. Oh, yeah. Black Daniels. Yeah. Black Daniels. You want a piece of this? Jack from your house. We have to end up with online jokes. Like, all right, Jack. Like, I thought you can't turn it off. Opry. Yes. Grand Ole Opry. Opry House. Almost sold out. So make sure you get. It's pretty crazy. Yeah. Same back to back. I was wondering who, you know.

Back-to-back nights. Ryman, Opry, knocking them. Pretty fun. Yeah. Michael Hayes, 36 minutes in, and I've heard Nate say, down to the nit and gritty and kick it to the curve. The confidence with which Nate butchers cliches actually makes them fresh again. Clichés, right? Yeah. That's true. Down to the nit and gritty. What's that one? Nitty gritty. Nitty gritty. Yeah.

And what's kick it to the curve? Curve? The curb. Oh. You may have said curb, but it sounded like curve. Eh. I probably said curve. Yeah. But I'm at the curve. Yeah. Kick it to the curve, which is going to go over a curb. The curve of the curb? The curve of the curb. Yeah, that's a good point. Kicking it to the same place. We live in a cul-de-sac. There's a curve around. There's a curve. I kick it to the curve. Right. Yeah. And down the nit and gritty. I bet a lot of people say that. Nit and gritty.

What is it? Nitty gritty. Nitty gritty. I've never even heard that. Really? Knit and gritty. I've never heard knit and gritty. What is nitty gritty? Define points. Get down to the brass tacks. And that's the actual words for nitty? That's what nitty is?

I don't know. I mean, I don't know. So it's a made up word. Yeah. So what I'm saying is if I say knit and gritty, then we're all agreeing that we're all just making up words. Yeah, sure. For some reason, my made up word is not good enough for everybody goes, no, we agreed on this made up word and you're, you're making up your other one. All words are made up. That's true. What's a word? All words matter. All words matter. Oh, the nitty gritty dirt band. You heard of them? A couple of times. One of my favorite bands. Uh,

I've only heard of them a couple times. Fishing in the Dark. I know that song. Oh, that's them? Yeah, Fishing in the Dark. You know them. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. You'll sing it and not sing the main lyrics. You know, it's like went to the store. In the dark. That one. Fishing. You know what it's like? You and... You were fishing and it was dark out. And you're like, if it doesn't ring a bell, then you don't know it. You know when you tell someone to ask something? Yeah. And they're like, I don't have a...

I do it with Nick. No, Vicky. Him being a little person. If you met Nick and they're like, I don't know. And I'm like, you would know. And if you don't know, like then... Not sure. Okay, I'll take that as a no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rocky Duncan. Can't wait to see Bogo on his Is This Seat Taken tour. I hear tickets will be cheap. Excuse me, is this...

Is the seat taken? Your Opry show's almost sold out, right? Yeah. Well, there's still some tickets left, but it's close. Yeah. When it gets down to individual seats, technically that's when they can start calling a sellout. But that's when I could start my tour. That's when you tour. Yeah. So you're like Aaron Land, but you do a show during a show.

And your tickets are the individual seats that no one else wants to go to. That's right. Once you get done with your part, I'll take over. The biggest single ticket seller of all time. That could be your thing. Only single tickets. Only single tickets. One, please. Even if it's a BOGO. Even if it's a BOGO. Well, they're buy one, get one free. Yeah, you don't have to point that out to me. I know that. The people that get upset about it, you know.

I'll take two then. It's, it's, it's, it's, but I feel like you're, it's people that appreciate the extra seat next to them. That's, you know, they like it. That's where they put their water in there. Small popcorn. Uh, thanks. Set it in there. Can anything sit in that extra buy one, go on free street? Uh, yeah, whatever you want. Okay. Thank you.

Extra cup holder. Extra cup holder. Just extra everything. And it goes, that's his fans are just, you know, which would be me. I would enjoy, you know, just to go alone, little room, step out and look around. Show's great.

Got to go to the bathroom. No, no. Yeah, absolutely. Never feel ashamed asking, do you mind if I? Of course. The rhyming especially because it's. Brian agrees to wait till you get back. It's part of the show. Brian's on stage and he goes, yeah, no, absolutely. He'll go, hey, Brian, do you mind if a few of us got to go to the bathroom? And he goes, yeah. You know what? I'll bounce you. I do too. So let's all just take five. Yeah.

And then a doctor watches to see how many times they go to the bathroom to go, oh. And then he hands out cards at the back. I noticed a lot of y'all went to the bathroom quite a bit. You know, and this show's at 4.30 in the afternoon, so it seems crazy, you know. He's a urologist. Yeah. There's something wrong. I try to get him. Yeah.

Because everybody's... All right. What were you going to say? The Ryman especially would be good because it's just church pews. It's not individual seats. You buy two tickets, you can just sit in the middle of those two seats and have plenty of elbow room. Dude, I went to a concert with three tickets and one person didn't show up and it was the best concert I've ever been to in my life. It was actually...

uh, Teske trucks. Oh really? I had a third person didn't show up. So two people could spread out. And I was like, Oh, at the Ryman. Yeah. I was like, this is crazy how it's meant to be seen. That was crazy. That it was them. I've seen them a few times, man. Oh yeah. Oh, I didn't know you were a big fan. Could have brought you out there. Glad we did it. Uh, Trevor, Victor, Heidi, the fish and pole analogy was perfect. Aaron. Thank you, Trevor. Ridiculous.

You said fish and hole, but I, you know, fish and pole sounds good too. Yeah. Eric W. This was gold. Love you guys. And John Fitz in great having back or trade Kennedy, whoever's easier to get. John is such a good sport. He's one of the best about ribbing him and about making he's, he laughs at himself. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Amy Sorsby. I love John Chris. I've been watching him for years. I was so excited when I saw the title of this episode. Nate mentions Brisket's Dry Bar Stand-Up, so I actually searched and watched it, and it was surprisingly very funny. I think, this is the first time I'm reading it, I think even funnier now that I feel like I've gotten to know him first. The podcast dynamic makes it relatable, like having breakfast as an actual friend, which you can do.

Also, I followed Aaron Land, which is very funny. I just love how you guys always come in clutch with all things funny. Wholesome laughter every time. I mean, Bates' breakfast is the one if you want to be friends. Yeah. Who is that? Was that Amy? Amy Sorge. Amy, I'd love to be your friend. Very accessible.

Yeah. It's funny that she looked up your special thinking it was not going to be that good. Apparently. Yeah. It was blown away that it was very funny. Surprise, she said. Surprisingly very funny. Yeah. Yeah. I think fair enough. Mandy Van Dalsum. Dalsum. Dalsim. Dalsim.

neighbor gets in john chris together is literally better than christmas morning and i'm so glad you brought up the topic of let's go when i heard nate's ran on it i immediately thought of john and wanted them to hash it out together did not disappoint uh they uh i love you know let's go folks let's go folk i hope everybody likes it because i'm kind of really down you like it yeah i can get on board with it how many o's and go

I don't know. Whatever makes fun of these people more. Okay. I think at least three. Let's Go Folks is so specific. Yeah. Originally, let's... Hello, folks. You said that's what I came out and I go, hello, folks. Yeah. So, but yeah, we can switch to... You don't want to do it because it's...

your thing? No. You don't think better for the show. You only think better for you. He just ordered some merch. Did you order a Hello Folks merch? I just ordered a thousand Hello Folks shirts. Let's Go Folks is, I think it helps us say it to each other and we know out the gate.

And like, you know, the pastor that said hello, folks, at a sermon, like if he has to say let's go, folks, that's harder. That's what makes it funnier, and that's more specific. That pastor could say hello, folks, like you would be like, okay, like I just how he, I don't think I would even...

I always feel like I can't tell. Like, and I don't want to just assume that they're saying it. That's pretty arrogant to be like, fan of the podcast. They're like, I don't know, the most famous phrase of earth. Yeah. The president says it all the time. Everybody says, hello, folks. Let's go, folks. Stands out. And,

And then when the pastor says it, it's probably a little bit tough for him to say. Then we'll know. Well, it's tougher for him to say, let's go, folks. Like, that's a weird way to start a sermon. Yeah. And that's very specific. Yeah. And then the audience really gets it. We're on to some...

Might change my mind next week. Matt Oregon. I think John Chris almost has to laugh at his own jokes just to give his audience permission to laugh. Being a minister myself, I know how uptight his target audience can be. That's very true. I could see that. But I've done a show in a church and just make the jokes really funny. It's another option. I don't know. We all, you know.

Do different things. Tyler Gannon. Aaron just thinks not being on money is a big deal because of the American perspective. Also list people known internationally.

I don't understand that. Okay. I think he's just saying that you're only listing people only known in America. List people that are known internationally. Yeah. Well, that's like... You know what I'm talking about, the most famous. What's the soccer? Ronaldo. Did you see he moved Coca-Cola from his press? He does a press thing. They have two bottles of Coca-Cola. He grabs it and shakes his head no and then grabs a bottle of water and goes agua.

I read a thing about him where he doesn't want his kids, his kids will want to drink Coke and he's always like,

It's really bad for you. Like he doesn't like, I think he still lets them do it, but he lets them know he doesn't approve it. And Coke supposedly lost $4 billion because he did that. $4 billion? That's what someone said. Like in stocks. Like their stock price went down because of that. Whatever stocks are. Stocks are made up. I think it's a big, it's got to be probably a pretty big scam going. But in that world.

I don't understand stocks as well. Yeah. $4 billion in market value after Ronaldo shuns Coke. So most famous ever. We could change maybe because that's pretty powerful. That is powerful. That's bananas, dude. He just moved it out of the way and grabbed a water bottle and people...

That's unreal. That's like... I don't think if the queen got rid of a coke, no one would care. No. That's all I'm trying to say. I think you just hit 300 million Instagram followers I saw too. It's most. Instagram's the only thing above them.

And I feel like they probably make you follow them. Yeah, yeah. They're going to always probably just be like, no, you got to be above that. Yeah, I mean, he's, so I mean, I mean, you know, we've talked about it. It's probably him. Justin, Justin Galindo, old tour manager, did, he said Obama, too.

Could be. Yeah. And I guess I said Trump last week. If famous is well-liked, then maybe Ronaldo. If it's just well-known, I still argue Trump. Well-known might be him. I'm actually kind of flipping. You don't do something like that. That's crazy. That's unbelievable. He just moved the bottles and the stock went down. That's insane.

Yeah, your Shaq and Yao Ming, they're identifiable, but if you wrote their name down, just read their names, I don't think a lot of people are going to know who Shaquille O'Neal is. They're very recognizable. I think people know who they are. I think they know who they are, but I mean, I think soccer's the biggest sport in the world. I would think him and Nessie. Yeah, he's up there. Yeah, and it's probably him. Mariah, right? Elder. Elder.

I usually watch this podcast in bed, so I keep the volume low and turn on the closed captioning. But this episode said that closed captioning wasn't available. My guess is that YouTube threw in the towel after Nate's cut Larry struggle. That is, I mean, I feel bad for if...

You feel bad for the software that has to close caption? I like to picture it to a guy. It's always funner to picture closed caption. Some guy sits with his headphones on and he goes, let's do this thing. That's who you feel bad for? Yeah. He's just sitting there like, oh, God. What was that? I don't even know how to type that. That's what I like to picture closed captioning. There's a bunch of...

Men and women all over the world. Stenographers. Stenographers. There you go. Yeah. Also, we're going to do, we have the Nate Land Live podcast, July 5th, coming up very soon.

first show's doing good I think probably close to sold out second show and you can come to both shows if you want they will be different we might have the same topic like we did last time we did Tennessee we did Tennessee on both shows and then we but each show was different but they'd have to buy a ticket for each show yeah they'd have to buy a ticket for each show yeah you know I just wanted to clarify because last week we said stick around if you want for the second show I didn't want people to think they could just stay in their seats yeah yeah yeah

Make sure that they, you know, rules. We got rules. Your audience would follow the rules, though. I think your audience would, would you, they would know, you know, they show up in a clear bag. Yeah. They already had, they already, you know, metal detectors, like, they don't have to plug it in when people come in through your, your audience. Yeah. They have their own yonder bags. Yeah. Yeah. Nope. Did it at home. They go. Yeah.

Are the metal detectors just going off like crazy? It's like everybody, right before everybody comes in, they go, you hip too? Raise your hand. Who has a hip, new hip? Everybody. Okay. Who? All right. This line is for people with all their bones in their body. Your bones that you started with, the bones God gave you.

do you have just those bones? And everybody, and then like one guy goes, I have all my original bones.

He gets to come through that line. And then the other one, they go, they just look and they go, you know what? Everybody just go on through. I trust. It feels trusting. I think the people coming to my show also don't buy tickets online because they don't know how. Oh, yeah. Or they don't want to pay the $2 service fee or whatever it is. Yeah. I'll buy at the door. Yeah, buy at the door. Buy at the door. Right before we get started with this, I am trying to start my –

something again uh my uh intermittent fasting to get i want to lose weight for this tour i think i'm starting with 16 to 8 16 hours fasting eight hours feeding window which is a lot but if i can consistently say to that like basically i would eat after this podcast and then uh and that would be your first first eating of the day yeah yeah and then oh then you're golden and then i eat till like at my last until nine o'clock after that yeah yeah

Nine o'clock, which I don't go to bed till one, two in the morning anyway. So that's about, but I want to almost time it out to be kind of like that, which is, that's a pretty big window actually. So I want to see how that goes and then I'll adjust. You were 24. Yeah.

Four hour feeding. Four hour. Are you still doing that? Looser and looser. Yeah. But basically, I'm basically just eating one meal, one meal a day, and then just kind of snacking. Yeah. After that. And then, was your energy good? Like you felt- It changed pretty quickly. You have better energy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My knees don't hurt. Yeah. I'm not falling asleep. I mean, yeah. I feel way better. Pretty well. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, and a lot of people don't say the Intermittent Fasting League. I mean, look, we're all trying. If you're like us, an average American...

We're just trying to get through. We try a bunch of different stuff. Uh-huh. And, uh, you know, but I always thought it's at least for me, it's, uh, I need some kind of schedule. It's at least gotta be like the, my schedule's just too sporadic. And it's like days where I have a bunch of stuff where we have this podcast or have other stuff. And then days I'm on the road and you're doing two shows. I'm not done till midnight. Yeah. And, uh,

You know, it's just too wild of a time. So it's like the only thing I can control is my feeding window. Yeah. You know? Yeah. And then if you just tell yourself, like, you can't, like I'm just... Then you don't. Have a diet cherry Coke. Yeah. Well, you can have those as much as you want. You can have diet drinks all day. I know. We're the opposite of Ronaldo. We...

get rid of the water and put in diet cherry Coke. Uh, you know, they still lose 4 billion. They lose more. They go, God, they said they're into it. Uh, that'd been very funny for you. Just go Ronaldo. He does that. And you sit next to him and you, well, do you mind if I have those? And then you just, and you sit there and drink one right in front of me. Go ahead. No, I'm sure they want to hear from you. Uh,

So we have some people that I know when we asked how people are doing with the checking in. Heather is Bocito, Sriracha veggie straws. So you're trying to get rid of those? Some of these, and we read a few of these last time. We read, yeah. Oh, who...

Oh, who have we read? I think we read her, and I think we read the guy who said... Derek? Yep, Derek Visser. Oh. Yeah. Saying I don't want to go to work. Laura Tokazoglu. Definitely did not read hers. Tokazoglu. She'd turn around. Yeah, she'd turn around. That's pretty good. Did he say Laura? That's right. Yeah. Laura Tokazoglu.

She's getting a Macron dipping, Connor, we're a Hillian alcohol. You get rid of that. You know, someone asked me about not drinking alcohol. Uh, and, uh, cause I haven't drank in a couple of years, three years. Uh,

and so if someone asks, cause a guy messaged me and talked with, like, I know that's always a tough thing. I know a lot of people want to quit drinking. If you, uh, there's a lot of great stuff to read about. Um, you know, I know a lot of comics went to AA and, uh,

stuff like that. Uh, and that works for a lot of people too. There's also some great books. This is an Alan Carr, this guy, uh, he talked about quitting drinking, quitting drinking, smoking, all this kind of stuff, just like kind of breaks it down. And there's another book too. I can't remember the other one I read, but it's, it's essentially that exact thing. The same thing like Alan Carr, not drinking. And it's, uh, what he did was, uh,

He just breaks down alcohol to you. Alcohol is basically poison. It's straight up poison. It's kind of crazy. And you're just trained to alcohol is around. Every commercial is like, I go, every TV show, I go to a bar, I go get two beers. You're just, since you're a child, it's ingrained in you to just be like,

Yeah, that's what you do. That's how you have fun. And the idea that the guy has is he would say like, you know, go watch kids. Go to a five-year-old birthday party or an eight-year-old birthday party, and they're dancing. They don't need alcohol to dance. They just dance and have fun. It's the idea of that to be like you think you need these stuff to be looser, but your own body will have this stuff. Now, I'm not saying if someone –

well ike's drinking i like i get that too i get the escape of it and like it's nice to it relaxes you but people there's an argument that it doesn't even relax you it makes it worse uh like if you have anxiety if you have all these kind of things it makes it heightens all that stuff so but the guy i'm just telling you that because that guy mentioned something about not drinking and he said something about me talking about it if people haven't i just stopped i knew it was uh

It was wasting my time. I knew I was... It was, you know, that's why you... That's why if you don't want to drink, it's... If you can just feel that it's just...

if you're someone that drinks a lot and you know and i was in a i'm in a business where alcohol is everywhere and alcohols all it is is around us and so if you're drinking a lot then you know that's when you can tell like a lot of people don't think they're drinking a lot but if you realize that you're like oh man i'm having a you know having it every day and i feel like i need this every day i need my glass of wine every night or i need my you know whatever it is that you need uh

But if you can drink and not drink, then do whatever you want. It's a mix of both of those. But if you quietly feel like, let me tell you, I promise you, the most amazing feeling you will have if you drink

is when you don't drink the next day and you don't feel it. That feeling does not go away. And that's the most exciting feeling. It's exciting. You wake up and you're like, I can't believe I feel like this. And you're like, this is unbelievable. And then worst case scenario, you're going to be tired. But it's just, when you can attack your day and you don't feel like you're just kind of bogged down at all from alcohol, no.

Nothing better than that. And so if you're drinking and you need to stop, read those books. You're not alone. All right. This week we are – Oh, one's Chris Anderson. 12 pounds by the time he attends Zany's Live podcast. That was the first Zany's Live, but you can still do it. Well, maybe now, Chris, we'd like you to get it back before the next one.

And then take it off again. And take it off again, yeah. But I just asked Laura, it's hot in here, turn the air conditioning down. We say cut as a South, but do you say just cut it down or cut it up? Or do you turn it down or turn it up? Up. Up for me. You said, can you turn the air conditioning up? Yeah. To make it colder. Yeah. And I'd say turn it down. Yeah. Why do you say up?

Because you're increasing the strength of the air conditioner. You're turning the power up. You're actually saying, turn the air conditioner up. Yeah, yeah. And I'm saying temperature. Right. But I say, turn the air conditioner down. What do you say? I say up, but I've heard both. Yeah, yeah. I would know either way what they meant based on how it feels in the room. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's what you're going off of. Yeah, yeah. A lot of people...

You say cut. I did a poll. I say cut. I did a poll and they said you're stupid. Is that the whole thing? Can you believe that? 100%. Quick poll. That's one person. It was me. And I filled it out right now. It's 100%. You're stupid. I say cut. You don't say cut? Cut it off? I think I will sometimes. Cut it down? Yeah. Yeah.

It didn't in my house growing up. That's something I picked up from other people. Yeah, well, y'all used a lot bigger words than that. Did you pick it up from your garbage man and stuff like that? When you heard him come up and y'all would go and your parents would make y'all go out and talk to a regular person? Was that when you would hear the...

Go fraternize with the peasants. When they come out, we go, hey, kids, mailman's outside. Go, let's go outside. And I want you to introduce yourself to him, offer him food. He probably doesn't know how to get food. And use his words. And y'all walk out. Hey, how you doing? You going to cut off your motor there? And you're like, I don't know, whatever this guy talks about. That germane slipped out. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

That's hilarious. So this week. This week, we're going to look at some decades. Yeah. And we're going to start with the 70s, 1970s. This decade that you both are from. Yeah. Exactly. He started it and I ended it. And closed it out. And yeah, 1970s. Yeah, we might do a few of these. I feel like these are kind of fun, like, you know.

This one might be, if we go up, this might be the toughest one because when we get in the 80s and 90s, we're going to all have memories of stuff that we can reflect on. I'm probably the only one here that has some memories of the 70s. Yeah, why would it be tough?

Why would this one be tough? No, the other ones. Like we have memories of it. Oh, well then I misspoke. I meant this one will be tough. They'll be easier because we'll all have memories too. Yeah. Well, we did a pretty good job making fun of Andrew Jackson and never, I didn't meet him. So I'd imagine we'd be all right. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. This one's just awful. And it's like, well, I just don't remember any of this. So, I mean, we talked about calendars. I mean, I don't know if there's nothing we've talked about that I'm like, oh, yeah, I have memory of. Never been to Rhode Island. Never been to Rhode Island. We did quite a bit on that. Well, can I ask maybe a larger question before we dive in? Yeah. So when we think about the 70s and the 80s and the 90s now, these are decades that have distinct...

they have personalities to them. Like we have in our mind, we can visualize what they look like. Yeah. Are you aware of those things in the moment? Like when you're in the nineties, are you like, Oh, is this a, this is the distinct. He was black and white. His family was black and white. And so when they would go eat dinner, him and his family, they would all be in black and white. And he remembers, obviously you're going to remember when you see your mom in color for the first time. Yeah. Uh,

That's a pretty powerful thing. Everybody remembers where they were that day. What was that, the 70s? Mid-70s? Yeah. First time you saw them in color? Yeah. I mean, I said on this podcast, my first memory that I can put a date on is going with my mom when she voted in the 1976 election. Yeah. And there's three memories I could actually remember. So I was born November 71, so I would have been eight when the 70s were ending. So I remember that. I vaguely remember when Elvis died.

Just vague. When did he die? Like 78, I think. Oh, I thought he didn't die until like the 80s. No, 77, 78. I remember when he died. 77. Oh, I remember that. Yeah. I have a vague memory of that. I have vague memories of the Iran hostage situation. Yeah. Yeah.

These are traumatizing memories as a kid. Well, that's what you remember. First thing I remember, I ran hostage. They wake your mom, wake you up. Mom and dad come in. I ran. There's a hostage situation. I ran. And you go, I know, I know. You've already listened to it on the radio. You're preparing for your news career. What do you think of? Well, to answer your question, I don't think so. Yeah.

Now, have you ever seen, there's someone posted some videos of, I saw of like 1930s in color and it was on, I don't know, Instagram or YouTube or something. I forget where I looked at it, but it was pretty crazy.

And you're like seeing it where you're like, oh, they just, they just, you know, when you really think about it, because it is, it is hard. Like you see 1930s and you're like, you're like, I mean, what was it like then? But when you see these pictures and colors and it's just like home videos. Yeah. So it's, it's, it's very like, you know, personal and it's not like an actual video of something crazy. It's just like them at the beach. And it's, and you see them in color. It's like, yeah, they're just, the girls are in a bathing suit at the beach. The same way we go to bathe in a suit at the beach. Yeah.

And like, it's just, you're the way we see it. Like, it's pretty interesting to see that video to go like, yeah, dude, they just, it was just different and they dress different. It makes you realize we're all the same. The world was a little grainier, but other than that. It does humanize them in a way. Yeah. Yeah. Like it just, you're, you're, you're all just like, oh, it's all just, they just went to the beach like we did. They just used what they had. Yeah. And you know.

Someone just recently, I think it was a documentary, colorized all the footage from World War I, and it showed like... It was Peter Jackson did that. Yeah, that movie that came out. I think it was in theaters. And it did. To your point, it just makes you realize these are just young guys like us at one time in their life. Not that different than now. It does make it seem more relevant. Right. Yeah, for sure.

When I think of the 70s, I think of, not that I remember it, but Watergate. That's just something you hear about, 70s. Yeah. You know? Yeah, sure. I mean, I think like hippie, you know. Lava lamps. Yeah, like that's, I think of that as a Woodstock. To me, that thinks, you know. That was the 60s. Yours is, oh, I don't know.

I mean, it all blends together. Yours is the Iran hostage situation in Watergate. Iran hostage, because I vaguely remember Watergate just because I hear people talk about. Five minutes into the first Decades episode, we were like, ah, that all blends together, dude. It's all the same. Yeah, it doesn't matter. We're going to have a pretty hard time with this topic. Well, the Vietnam War...

ended in the 70s yeah i mean we're just good night well i don't know what else we huh just fun stuff i don't know you maybe open up with some lighthearted it was a tough decade dude yeah there's a lot going on i mean no don't you already started now let's go you already pulled the band-aid off of just you know well i was just kind of how this is how the 70s started you think the war should have been happening

the Vietnam... What do you remember if you... Did you protest the Vietnam War? Were you afraid of being drafted? I tried to get out of the way the stuff I remember from the 70s right out of the gate to nix some of this, but it's still going to happen. Well, uh...

Have you guys heard about the Kent State? Good night. I mean, yeah. You whispered massacre. Everybody can hear that. You're just hoping that not everybody hears it. Yeah, like everybody. You're hoping that some people that are listening at home don't. They go, no, no. Who needed to hear it needed to hear it. Yeah.

I mean, if we don't think this audience is all just us together, it's that moment of just whispering to everybody, like, here I am as the masquerade. You know, what if someone's watching this with no headphones on a subway right now? You know? The closed captioning wouldn't get that. That person listed it with the closed captioning. So, that's...

That's, oh man. What happened with Kent State? Was it a Vietnam protest? The Vietnam protest, students at Kent State University were protesting the war and things got out of hand and the National Guard shot and killed four students. Okay, and that was, this is the beginning of the 70s? This was in 1970. Out of the gates. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. It's going to be a tough decade. Just setting the tone for what the 70s started like. Yeah. People were upset about the war, students getting killed, stuff like that.

And then the 1972 Olympics in Munich. Fun one. What happened there? I mean, basically everything's got a movie made about it. Everything that you're like is, everything's won an Oscar. I mean, that's pretty crazy.

Yeah, there was a movie about Munich. That's when the Israeli Olympic athletes got killed. Oh, I've never heard of that. Yeah. It's a good movie. Palestinians kidnapped them in like nine... They didn't enjoy it, but the movie's great. Yeah. Your family will enjoy going out to the movie and watching about this family that gets torn apart. Tough one for them to relive. Yeah. It was crazy. They...

Delayed the Olympics by 24 hours before they resumed. Doesn't that seem kind of quick? Yeah. Nine people kidnapped and murdered. They just took a day off and then they're back at it. Yep. Yeah. Wow. They just, you know, the steeplechase, they just didn't do that that year.

The trials, summer trials are going on right now. Yeah. Yeah. We're watching. It's crazy. Usain Bolt's not in it, and there's no one like him. He was so fast, and it's weird to see them all kind of be together now, and there's no one like. He's just so much. Are they even touching his times? I don't think so. No. I mean, I'm sure someone's going to come along, obviously, because people always do.

It's always funny. They always have you watch. I watched sprinting last night. Just we got the one white guy. Did he finish last? I mean, the only reason he didn't is because someone pulled up with a hammy and that guy still almost beat him. But that's the only reason he wasn't last. He did better than he was.

It looked respectable. Yeah. He was last. He held his own? He was last, but he was respectable. What country was he from? Oh, this is all the U.S. trials. Yeah, yeah, U.S. trials. Okay, yeah, yeah. Yeah. You see him and you're like, this guy doesn't even have a chance. It's weird to me that in basketball, no matter what level you're on, there will be white guys on the team, but they're going to usually be on the bench. I get it in high school. Sometimes you may not have enough players. You got to. But if you're good enough to get a college scholarship, it's weird to me that

They're good enough to make the team, but be on the bench. And then if they make it to the NBA, I know there are exceptions, but usually it's mostly white guys on the bench. It's just odd to me they can keep getting to that next level, but they just can't quite get over the threshold. Well, some do. Some do, yeah. I just noticed it's a disproportionate amount. Herder. I had gray in my sight for the Hawks. What'd you say? It's Herder or something like that, whatever his name is.

I don't know. He's a redhead for the Atlanta Hawks, and he looks like he's about 18 years old. Yeah. And he has an unbelievable game. It's funny. I always, like...

I would want to be on the team just to be one of those guys with the warmup jacket on that just reacts to stuff on the bench. That's every March madness. I watched. There's just guys. You're like, that guy's never played. All he does is hold their teammates back. Yeah. This guy holds it back. Yeah. Yeah. Nobody's trying, but you're dressed like one right now. Uh,

I mean, that's essentially exactly what they would wear. You know, you'd have your, you're the guy with the hat on. They go, well, he's definitely not getting in. You're there. And they already said, you know, they're like, you don't even have to suit up. We don't, you're, we don't have a spot for you. Like sometimes you do get a spot.

But then today, he's like, no, you don't got a spot. You got your wedding ring on. Yeah, yeah. I found it. Yeah, that's cool. I left it at like three different places. Oh, wow. And found it. But that reminded me of seventh grade baseball. I played for the JV team. So they were like eighth and ninth graders. So I just never, I would never see the field. Yeah. And the coach was yelling at the, he was yelling at the starters at one point. He goes, do you guys want to play baseball? Yeah.

Or you want to go sit, you want to go eat sunflower seeds with Weber. You were the example. Example of like, do you want to be that or that? Yeah. Yeah, I've forgotten about that. Yeah. So do you guys play football? Football, baseball, basketball. Did you start in football? Football, I did. Yeah. Yeah. At the end, like junior and senior year. Or senior year. Yeah. What position? Center. I think we know. Yeah.

Somewhere on the line. Yeah. That's really kind of ridiculous. I think he asked that to be polite. Safety. Yeah. I thought you'd be a defensive back. In the middle, probably somewhere. In the thick of it. In the thick of it, yeah. I don't want to say what spot did you play, but could you talk to the defense pretty easily because they were pretty close to your face? You're pretty close to them. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Hand touched the ball as much as the quarterback. Yeah, that sounds about right. So he's quarterbacking. What are we doing here? What are we having here? Another thing that happened in the 70s, plane crashes were just a thing. There'd be one or two big ones every year. When's the last time we've had, in the U.S. at least, a commercial aircraft? I don't know. It's been years. It's knock on wood. You're rooting for one. Good night. I don't know of one my whole life.

I can't think of a major one. In the U.S.? Yeah. The one that went down in the Hudson River, maybe? That might be the last one. They all survived, didn't they? Still, it's a plane crash. Tom makes fun of Oscars about it. There was one a few weeks after 9-11 in New York. At 9-11? I mean, my God. You're like, I don't even know. Let's back up a few more weeks. Yeah, there's some big ones. 9-11, I guess y'all don't count that. You're talking about falling out of the air.

Well, and so in 1970, Wichita State football team got killed in a plane crash. A month later, Marshall's football team. Yeah, right.

plane crash and marshall got a movie yeah why didn't wichita get anything i don't know i guess it wasn't a good story yeah they had two planes so half the team made it and half the team didn't and marshall the whole team didn't make it okay that's pretty crazy though in college football in back-to-back months a team just and if you're a college football team you're like the percentages are high yeah that's their percentages here are borderline higher than the covet

Right now, you have less chance to die from COVID than you do from a plane crash during that month. You're going, they're all going down. It's like George Costanza. He asked Keith Hernandez that. Don't you ever worry about the plane crash going down? The first time he meets him, walk around. The odds are just with you. The whole team would just get wiped out. It's like his opening conversation with him. Yeah, I think...

You know, there's been a bunch of like Malaysia. Uh-huh. That one that just missing. I guess there's been a bunch. Crazy, the Malaysia one. I don't know if they haven't found anything, right? Like that's unbelievable. Maybe it's parts. Yeah. Like debris. Yeah, they found parts. So there's, yeah, it's like the movie Manifest. But they. I watched the pilot of that show, by the way. Yeah. Yeah, you like it? No. Oh, the other thing that that guy loses his job.

The brother, to start the episode, they've been gone for five years. They magically reappear.

And his workplace still goes, well, we've went in a different direction. You don't go, no, we hired him back. The PR of that alone as a company just to go, you fired one of our alien magic people that just disappeared for five years and come back? And you go, we've already filled your spot. And he's like, I'm looking in the wanted ads for a newspaper and for a job.

It's ridiculous. Well, I love that Nate was like, he said, I was out when the guy was like, sorry, I couldn't come. I was busy at work. And that was like maybe 90 seconds into the episode that that happened. You were out pretty quick. Well, that's insane. If it's such a crazy thing, these people appeared. They were gone for five years.

And the guy comes and says, they're back alive. I'm swamped at work, dude. And I am just booed. What time do they land? And you're, what time do they land? They just got, I don't know. I'll see her when I see her. She's back. You know? I think that show got canceled the day you talked about it. So, Ronaldo is not the only one who has some power. It's been canceled.

Oh, I thought it just got canceled last week. No, I don't think so. But the plane crash is crazy. My brother. So remember the one that stopped all the big Boeing planes that had a... 737 MAX? Yeah. Like, you know, remember the plane crash, right? They did that. Have we talked about that? My brother. Did we talk about that on this? No, I think you just told me. You ready for this? So, you know, the one it was in...

Africa. Or something like that, right? And the plane that just crashed and they shut down all those 737 Boeing Maxes. My brother was a plane behind that plane. Wow. At that airport. Saw that plane on the runway. Saw that plane on the runway. Some of those people, they flew. He was doing a mission trip and they go to Uganda. And so they...

Derek, they went to Toronto first. And so Derek was on a plane with Toronto and all these people. They went to where I forget where was it, wherever they went. And then some people on Derek's plane then went to go get on that flight. Do y'all know that? And some, it wasn't in Uganda. No. That's where they were going. It was wherever they were going before that.

Okay. And so, but Derek and them, they didn't know the plane crashed until they landed, but they, it flew, they saw it take off.

And people that were on that plane that went down were on my brother's flight that went over there. And they just happened to go that way. And Derek was going to Uganda. Did he have a picture of it? I don't know. It's a picture of on the, in the, like waiting in the airport. So it's just a broad, it's just a picture, but it's just a picture. And it is crazy to think, like you probably went through that picture. You'd be like, some of those people were on that flight. Yeah.

Yeah, that is crazy. Yeah, really crazy. Yeah. That was one that was, yeah, we did not tell my mom right away. Yeah. Like, not that she knew where they were going, but I don't, I forget. Yeah. Like, it was something that we didn't, we didn't mention that, my mom didn't realize that they were the plane behind them.

We didn't really say that. She knew that they were flying over there, but she didn't realize that it was, which we didn't all realize that either at first. That he was that close to it. That close to it. Plainly goes up. Yeah. It's crazy. Did you find something on Manifest? Yeah, it got canceled a week ago. Oh, really? Yeah. And now they're talking about Netflix trying to save it. Save it from what?

You go, you know, I got a few ideas. Maybe act like the characters care that they magically appear. I don't like it if a show, it has some crazy thing like that and then everybody still is kind of like whatever about it. That being said, we apparently don't care about aliens here. So...

I like the show Monk a lot. Yeah. I've seen every episode of Monk and the premise of Monk is that he's this genius detective, right? But he's super weird. And...

You're like six seasons in, Monk has a theory about a case and they're all like, oh, Monk, oh, crazy Monk. I'm like, no, he solved a hundred murders in like the last six years and nobody still trusts him. Here we go. Yeah, oh, Monk up to his feet. And then. Yeah, he's been right 100% of the time. I mean, he's got books probably. He's on the news every night being interviewed. They can't believe that he solved everything. Yeah. Yeah.

The 70s were also the heyday of cults. Okay. Big cults going on. I could have been in a cult. Yeah. I think if a cult would have went after me, they could have had me. Sunshine Cleaners? Yeah. Not from Seinfeld. Yeah. I think not now, but I mean, if they would have came out the gate. You think you're good now? You're not? I think I'm fine now. Okay. I'm too old.

Yeah. But they could have came out of – if they were recruited, if they had been at graduation of the Steps, I could have probably been talking to them. Well, Charles Manson, you know, he was –

That was in his heyday and stuff. And then the most famous one, maybe. Heyday's a funny term. You know, this was a good time. Heyday for him. That's like, yeah. So, Walter Payton's heyday. When he was at his best. Charles Manson at his best. This is the time we're talking about. Yeah. OJ Simpson also. It was during his heyday. Charles Manson, OJ. Wasn't OJ? This was his heyday? Yeah, in the 70s. I thought he was more of a 60s guy, but. No.

In the NFL, it was the 70s. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Jonestown. Do you know what Jonestown is? Yeah. I do, but I know it's bad. The term don't drink the Kool-Aid comes from that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's just a crazy story that this guy convinced all these people to follow this cult, and then they go down to...

I guess that's how you say that, right? In South America. And then a congressman comes down there to investigate with people and they kill him. And the NBC news crew that's with him. They did? Yeah. Wow. I didn't know that. Some of the people wanted to escape. Some of the people were like, you got to get us out of here. So they took a few people and then Jim Jones followers found them at the airport and killed them all. Just shot them? Yeah. And then-

At the airport? Mm-hmm. And is that what did them? Did they get in trouble? They got in a little bit of trouble. That's when he told them, they're coming to get us, so everybody drink this punch. And 900 people committed suicide. And he didn't, did he drink it too? He shot and killed himself. Oh. And did he tell them that they're going to die from this punch? Yeah, I think they did. Yeah, they knew what was going on. I've actually, and I really regret listening to it, but there are audio tapes of this happening.

Oh, really? Of his last speech, and then you hear people. And I listened to it years ago out of curiosity, and I wish I hadn't. Yeah. It's gross. You hear people just dying. You hear people, yeah, yelling, and then they start to realize what's happening, and they don't like it, to say the least. It's pretty, like, harrowing. Yeah. You know? I would have... I feel like you just wait a second and be like, you know, has everybody dreamed this game? Like... Yeah. Yeah.

You got to fake take a sip. Throw it over your shoulder. What is that? I mean, everybody else is going to be dead. So you just, then you get up and walk out. You know, there had to be a couple of those. But there were people, I think there were people who were refusing and then they come up with guns and make them drink it. Oh, really? Yeah. It was like way more violent and tragic than...

Even it was in my mind. Mine, it's this peaceful, like, oh, let's just all ship it. But nah, dude, it was a nightmare. Yeah, I mean, dying's like that. It's a little more, you know. I know it's sweet in your head, and you go, oh, so they went night-night? Yeah, they just went a little, kind of closed their eyes. All right, all right. These kids listen to this. Good night. Sorry. Hey, everybody, sorry. Sorry about the massacre.

Music in the 70s changed. All right. There we go. Music. What's the top thing say? Concorde. You want to talk about that? Yeah. What is that? That's the flight, the supersonic flight. Yeah. So have you heard of the Concorde? No. It's the first supersonic flight. It's faster than the speed of sound. And it could fly you from Europe to US in half the time.

Wow. And they came to them in the 70s. Started in 76 and cost $600 to fly one way between London and Washington. Oh, it worked? People could do it? They did it for years. Yeah. Why did they stop doing it? It didn't end until 2003. I think flights got a lot more convenient and better. And then I think the cost of it was just... Oh, flights now are faster than this.

No, they're not faster than this, but I think overall aviation's gotten a lot better, so it's more similar to what this was. I think there's some talk about it. Look up the Concorde. What's it look like? It's kind of slick looking, small. I didn't know you could commercially do this. Yeah, rich people could do it. That's crazy.

They had to only fly from like East coast to like London. They had to fly only over water because when you break the sound barrier, it causes a sonic boom. Yeah. So you can't be flying over populated areas. I mean, what are the seats like in there? They said they were pretty tight actually. Yeah. Yeah. I think they squeeze people in. They would get over a hundred people on that plane.

And then they, and you have to just say, and how long would the flight be? Half the distance of a normal flight. So what's the flight from New York to London? Is that six hours, seven hours? Yeah. Hmm.

So it'd be half that. Three hours? And you hear, I mean, how fast, do you realize how fast you're going in there? It's going 1,300 miles per hour. About seven hours, that flight is. Normally. New York to London. Yeah. And so it's half of that. I mean, Ken, do you realize, are you just like, like, you know, the whole time, just kind of head back? I don't know about that. They did say it was loud. It was louder than what planes are today. Yeah. So it's not faster than the speed of sound.

How's that? I mean, I feel like you just come right off of it and just go. What surprised you about it? How loud it was. I thought we were outrunning sound. And I mean, you should have heard this guy snore behind me the whole time. I mean, my goodness, noisiest plane I've ever been on in my life.

I was looking forward to a little peace and quiet, to be honest with you. I was leaving some sound behind, and it turns out it was all over me. It's funny to think about. You can't hear each other until you land, and all of a sudden the conversation is huge because they catch up. Yeah. And you go, oh.

cram it in yeah your conversation's still back over the ocean yeah just got here all the flight attendant announcements and everything all just hits you you know once at the end there's no drink service at the uh because we were going so fast that's why they didn't come why didn't they say that before we started going

I used to think the speed of sound, the speed of light were basically the same thing, but there's a big difference. Oh, I don't, I've never thought. Yeah. They're the speed of two different things. Yeah. I just thought they were both instantaneous, but light's a lot faster. Yeah. Um, how quick this podcast go down is pretty quick. What's that? Speed of light. Yeah. Speed of sound of, uh, that statement wasn't fast enough. People wanted it to end quicker than it started. Yeah.

All right, so music. Yeah. Disco was the big thing that happened in the late 70s. Saturday Night Fever. Bee Gees. Yep, Bee Gees. I just watched a Bee Gees documentary. I didn't realize how big they were. I mean, they were about as big as it gets. Yep. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. At that time, late 70s, Bee Gees and Abba. Bread. My mom liked bread. My mom loves bread. Yeah. Bread's a great band. Yeah. That's how I've been food. Yeah.

Nate's like, oh, there's a band also? Yeah. Funk music took off in the 70s.

Heavy metal kind of became a thing because of disco. Led Zeppelin. Yeah. Jimi Hendrix, stuff like that. Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin all died at 27. There's a 27 club. Have you guys heard this? Yeah. Yeah, and so is Kurt Cobain. Kurt Cobain. Amy Winehouse. There's like a ton of people. One of the, I think, Rolling Stones. Wasn't Jim Croce 27 too? He may have been. Yeah. One of the Rolling Stones was? Uh-huh.

I didn't know one of them died early on. Yeah, the other ones really showed them. Yeah, they sure did. They stuck around. I mean, you can imagine that guy's going, he's up there in heaven just waiting on them. He's like, I mean, how old could they be? Like, Mick Jagger's still having kids. Yeah, he's up there waiting on them to get there.

I thought I'd at least see some of them. He was going to get the band back together up there. I mean. I promise you guys, that was a great band. Yeah. They'll be here. They'll be here. I just don't. That's unbelievable. They're not. Elvis was in his fat years. Yeah. He did that concert Aloha from Hawaii, which I think we mentioned last week. 1.5 billion viewers. Yeah. That's almost as much as MASH. Yeah. Yeah.

mash started in the 70s oh yeah this is a great time have you watched mash i've seen some of mash it's not like one of my favorite shows i mean you go after it like you're it's your like it's your west wing yeah was it your parents west wing my dad was west wing oh so mash wasn't was mash your grandparents west wing do you think maybe yeah i guess so

Do you like the mash? I think it was more like Gunsmoke, one of those kind of shows. Bonanza, all those westerns. I read that the 70s kind of was the end of the westerns. Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and started the cop dramas. Chips? Chips, The Rockford Files. When Andy Griffith went over to...

Mayberry? No, the lawyer when he was... Oh, Matlock? Matlock. Yeah, that was the 80s. Yeah. Oh. Yeah, yeah. That'll be next up. Yeah, yeah. Don't get ahead. Yeah. Do you know the theme song to MASH, what it's called? Suicide is Painless. Yeah.

It's kind of weird. Yeah, it's a very morbid song. It fits with the 70s, to be honest. Yeah, it does. 70s are brutal. Yeah. Like, that's from the, I mean, everything is a lot of. A lot of death and dying. Yeah. Tragedy. And it's funny that you do think hippie, you know, you think loving. I guess that is the 60s. The 70s is what we had to pay for for the 60s. Yeah. That's what someone would say. Yeah.

I read an AMA on Reddit. Like, I ask me anything where somebody just gets on there and answers questions. Yeah. This woman that I think was over 100 years old. She was born in, like, I think the 20s. This was a few years ago. She was born in the 20s. And somebody was like, what did you think of, like, the hippie movement in the 70s?

And she just had such a unique perspective. She was already like an old, a middle-aged woman. She was over 100 then? No, no. She was like 150. I mean, 100 now. Yeah. So for the 20s, she would have been 50 in the 70s if she was born in 1920. Right. So she was like, I was a grown adult. And she hated these kids. They're selfish. They're annoying. Yeah. Just to hear that perspective.

I feel like you only hear it from their perspective. Yeah. Where it's like, it's all love, dude. Like peace. Yeah. Peace and harmony. And they're like, nah, these kids stunk. It's what they should be. You should, you know, in your 20s, it's about that. Like you should be like, no, we love everything, blah, blah, whatever. And then you hit your 40s, you become an adult and you go, no, no, no. I have a kid. We have responsibilities. Like it shifts. And it should shift.

And that's a problem now. I think people don't shift. They just stay. I think people are getting older and they're not having kids and they're 30 and they're, you know, and so they still got the mindset of a 20-year-old, but they're 30. And like, that's, you know, you're kind of like, oh, it's like you're talking. It's not someone that just, you know, that's like, no, you got to be a grown-up adult. You got to have responsibilities. And people are having kids now in the mid-30s. I mean, you know, I was probably early 30s. But like they...

But like now it's like people are, you know, people don't have children. So then if you don't have children, like you're what you, if you don't have a family, you don't have like, and not saying anything's wrong or bad about this, but your, your like desires can be way different than, you know, it's like you can like, sometimes people can be obsessed with Twitter and,

you know, older than they should be versus someone that's like, I got four kids. I don't even know Twitter exists. And that person, they live different lives. This person can't, everything's the worst day ever. How's everything going wrong? How do these people doing all this stuff? And then this person, the family's like, I don't even, I'm barely surviving. I have multiple jobs. And I think, yeah, you got to think about those people. People forget about those people and they like talk for, you know, the thirties, the fifties.

But it is pretty interesting. I think that stuff's switching for sure. Back then, I mean, people have kids that you, you know, my parents were 23 when I was born. Like they, like people had kids that, that's when they had kids. And now that age has gone way up. My dad had three kids, but that was my age. Yeah. That's what you, and that's, that's what you did. And that's completely changed now. The bestselling album of the seventies was Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon.

It was on the Billboard Top 200 chart for 741 weeks. That's over 14 years. Wow. That's so crazy. 14 years? Yeah. Wow. Not even that good of an album. Yeah. No, it's pretty good. Do you have it? I'm about to start trashing it. Yeah. Most overrated band of all time, dude. No, they're good. I'm kidding. All right. You don't like them? No, they're great. No, I'm kidding. I'm just joking. That's fine, dude. You don't like them. You don't like them. It is what it is.

The Eagles' Greatest Hits was released in 1976, and in 2018, it became the best-selling album of all time. The Greatest Hits. Mm-hmm. If that doesn't tell bands something, then I don't know what does. What does it tell them? That's when we want to hear your greatest hits. Play your greatest hits. That's the greatest, you know. It's like, yeah, go out there, play the hits, baby. Did you know their name? Did you know they're Eagles? They're not the Eagles? I did not know that. You know that? Eagles. They're just Eagles. Yeah.

Well, Eagles have the first and third best-selling album of all time. That's pretty crazy. Could you not say the in front of the sentence, though? You could, but if you were just like, what's the name of the band? Eagles. Eagles. Yeah, we're going to say Eagles. But I always call them the Eagles because it just seems to make sense. Well, because the sentence you're using probably requires the. But like the Beatles, the name of the band is The Beatles. They're not just Beatles. Yes. Yes.

That's the difference. Because they were like, you're going to have to say the in front of it every time. Yeah. So we'll do the work for you. Where Eagles are going, no, you got to do the the. And you're like, why don't you do it? And they go, no, no, no, no, we don't do it. Uh-huh.

The Beatles are like, no, we're doing it for you. We already type it in, the Beatles. And you're like, thanks. Thanks for typing it for us. Aren't you friends with one of the Beatles? I mean, one of the Eagles? Dude. Just the Beatles. I feel like that would have come up. Paul McCartney. Maybe we'll get him to do when we do London. I don't know where he's from or something. Liverpool. Liverpool. And you go, what's a Liverpool, man? I thought it was just a soccer team. But it's a place, huh? Yeah.

That's what I was saying about Liverpool. What is Liverpool? I just know it's a soccer team. It's a town. It's a city, yeah. Yeah, it's a weird name. I like it. Liverpool. You know, that's a crazy... Oh, it is weird. Yeah. What do you think about it? I'm from Liverpool.

If it wasn't for him, and that's where he's from. Paul McCartney? Yeah. And if he, yeah. People could get upset about, you know, kids coming over from Liverpool. Put your wallets away. Like, that sounds like a town that would be. And then they've got a great soccer team now, right? Or a famous one, I don't know. Yeah, a big one. And then Paul McCartney. Probably a bunch of other stuff. Probably so. So now they're doing real good. Now who's who? Liverpool's like, yeah.

turn it around on you. He went back to his old house or something. I saw a video like that once. He did carpool karaoke when he went to his old town. That was actually really cool. Went to his old barbershop and everything. Yeah, it was awesome. Yeah. So no, when I did, I did Joe Walsh's 70th birthday. But I think I've talked about that on here. Maybe you have. Tom Hanks was there and

At Ringo Starr, I did a show for Ringo Starr. I was looking in the front row, and I was doing my stand-up. Are you being serious? Yeah. So you does have a connection to the Beatles. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I do. You just thought that Ringo Starr was in the Beatles? Yeah. Yeah. Could I get him on here? You're like, I could at least...

Have a shot. I could try. I could try. But with Joe, it was Joe's 70th birthday, and I performed, and it was sitting right in the front. I mean, there was a lot of super famous people there. And then it was Joe Walsh, Ringo Starr were sitting right up front. That's the only people that performed on the show.

I did stand-up, and then they both played, and that was the show. It was this small kind of thing, and they just had fun. Did you bury them, too? They did not know. Joe's a fan of comedy and likes comedy, but I don't think people really knew that I was supposed to be doing this show. I went up, and it's funny because I did the dead horse joke.

And I was doing it, and you feel like you're in a place with kind of like people that are real animal activists. And so I'm just talking about this horse being dead, and it was just kind of tight. They're like, what are you doing? And then when I said it was alive, the relief that was felt. And then after that, the set was good. That's interesting. But it was like they didn't know –

I don't like, they didn't know me. Like, you know, Joe just was like, I want you to perform it. Like he likes comedy. Uh, and then, and then when you're up there performing, you can see Tom Hanks and you're like, you know, it's like, I mean, he's just sitting, you know, I know where he's sitting and like, you're just kind of like, you can't,

stop kind of looking that back way and then i'm looking down and then front row is ringo started the glasses and joe walsh and brad paisley and paul and you're up there doing your liverpool bit about the name was liverpool real tough rough town huh and then they uh drew uh carrie was there uh richard lewis was there they were very nice to me afterwards they were like they were like man i couldn't believe you went up and did this it was great but i mean i was like

Why would I not do it? If I was them, I wouldn't do it. But yeah, there was a lot of crazy. It was awesome. And then we just hung out and talked to Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita, afterwards for a long time. They were very, very cool and nice. And then talked to Joe. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. That's awesome. One of the crazier gigs I've ever, probably the craziest gig. Yeah. You guys want to guess the top grossing movie of the 70s? Jaws.

Oh, great guess. It's a great guess. Saturday Night Fever. Both on the top 10. Jaws is number two. Okay. Don't say one yet. Halloween. Saturday Night Fever was number eight. So number one, top grossing movie. Mash the film. Yeah. The E.T.? That was the 80s. They all blur together. Titanic. Do you need any more guests or do you need... Oh. Yeah. Yeah.

Someone's thinking. Is Halloween not on there? No. Yeah. Dumb guess. Is that really that dumb of a guess? I mean, it's a pretty big movie. It's on the top 10. We watched it at a drive-in theater 40 years later. It's doing okay. Yeah, that is true. That is true. But for the game that we're doing. The Ten Commandments.

With Charlton Heston? No. Is it obvious? It is obvious. You just hadn't thought of it yet. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? No, it's not going to be that. It's got to be obvious. What's like a 70s movie that's completely obvious? Blazing Saddles. Indiana Jones. Final answer. I don't know. Star Wars. Star Wars. Oh. Yep. I don't think that's that obvious. That's like the biggest movie of all.

You thought Halloween was over. Star Wars and Jaws. I forgot. We don't think of Star Wars as a 70s thing. Sorry, I don't. I mean, was it the first one was in the 70s and then the rest were in the 80s? I think so, yeah. Okay. Yeah, it's like me. Barely got in the 70s, but then we really shined in the 80s and 90s. And then we went down. And now we're back a little. Yeah, so it was Star Wars, Jaws, Grease, The Exorcist. Yeah.

That's a good decade for movies. How many did you see in a theater? I don't think I saw any of these in a theater. So the actresses at age eight in a theater. It was right after this that like the early 80s is when I was old enough to start going to movies. Oh, you never went to a movie in the 70s? I feel like my mom maybe took me to see The Jungle Book or something like that. Live play on it. Yeah.

They go, there's no screen. It's an act out. The kind of thing. Put a couple of dimes in a bucket right before you go sit down. And they go, that's a lot. Sports. Probably the most famous person of the 70s was Muhammad Ali. Yeah. He had multiple fights.

I think we showed this too. Gigantic fights. Billion, over billions of viewers. The Rumble in the Jungle and the Thrill in Manila each had over a billion viewers. Yeah. Do you remember him being a thing growing up? I remember his last fight where he lost and like just the end of his career. I don't remember his heyday. Yeah.

When was his last fight? Early 80s. Yeah. I don't remember. I remember him, I think he was already like sick. Or like, what did he have? Parkinson's. Parkinson's. The 96 Olympics in Atlanta when he was- Like I remember that. Yeah. Yeah. So everything I remember is kind of that. Yeah. Let's say, look at like Michael J. Fox. Like you think, which I mean, it's like 80s. Like how many people don't remember him before Parkinson's? It's just kind of crazy. Yeah. Do you know him before Parkinson's?

Yeah, from Back to the Future, but that was way after the fact. I remember when they said he had it and it was like, still doing great. Still made a show. Doing awesome. It's crazy. The Rumble in the Jungle is where Ropa Dope was a thing where he basically conserved his energy and then he came out after that. Yeah, Rumble in the Jungle is the one that had the most views. That's so crazy. That's where...

That's too when you get to look at the famous, kind of the most famous thing is that kind of thing. Even when a billion people are watching, dude, that's just, that's a lot. Everybody knows that person. Yeah. I mean, that's a lot. A billion. Over a billion. I mean, no one watches that. Not that many people do that stuff where they watch. Yeah. Here's Muhammad Ali.

It's Muhammad Ali doing the rope-a-dope. It's one of the best. Just dodging punches, man. And then he does a little shimmy here at the end, mocking him. It's amazing. It's pretty amazing, yeah. I mean, his hands are just down. On the ropes. Yeah, that's unreal. Maybe one of the greatest sporting just kind of things, right? Moves or crazy kind of thing. The rope-a-dope? Yeah, maybe that's the number one. If you're listening, it's when he's got his hands on the rope.

and he's in the corner and he just dodges all the punches. I mean, maybe. That's a professional boxer. Is that Joe Frazier? That's George Foreman. It's George Foreman. It's not like it's just a dude. Yeah, it's the heavyweight champion. It's the second behind, like people would argue, the second greatest boxer of all time. And he just lets, he puts his hands down.

And then just says, and he gets him in a corner. And he goes, just try to hit me. And he dodges every one. I mean, is there a better like athletic kind of move at the. I can't think. I mean, it's like it's like 15 punches. It's not like it's a one miss. It's so many that George Foreman had to just walk away.

Well, I think he let George tire himself out, and then he finally comes out and starts pounding him. Yeah. But, yeah, like Foreman just – he starts shaking, and then Foreman kind of gets tired and backs off. I mean, that's crazy. Yeah. So much that Foreman goes, well, this isn't working. I've got him in a corner. He's just in a corner. A man is in a corner, and his hands are down, and I can't – and I'm a –

One of the greatest athletes of all time. And I can't hit this man in the face. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's go back to Kent State. So the Chicago White Sox had some crazy promotions. Their owner was, you know, he would do like, they play in shorts. Yeah. Do different stuff. Yeah. So they had Disco Demolition Night. And this is the end of the 70s.

A lot of people that loved rock music hated disco. So this local shock jock, they worked together and he did this promotion. In between the double header, bring your disco, bring a disco album and we'll destroy it. We'll blow it up in between the double header out on the field. They were expecting 20,000 people. 50,000 people showed up because this shock jock got everybody to come. Instead of just...

nicely handing over their album. They started throwing them like his weapons and they blew it up on the field. Then people charged the field and just started going crazy and they had to bring out the riot police because people were just getting so out of hand and they had to obviously counsel the second game. It's hard to go back to a game after that. Yeah. After fires and riots on the field. Yeah.

I'd say it was the worst sports promotion of all time. Yeah. Well, it got people at the first game. Still talk about it. Yeah. I mean, is it the worst? Yeah, they could be like, is it the worst? 50,000 people showed up. We thought 20. So that's basically if it had been double, I got more than double with one game. You don't even need to do the second game. We didn't need the second game. Yeah, maybe it's the best. Maybe it's the best. And it's the most talked about. We're still talking about it today. Yeah, we're not talking about bobblehead night still, you know? Yeah. This is how you get people there.

It's interesting. The fact that you're allowed to do this stuff, it's so crazy to even think to go. They go, yeah, yeah, we'll just have them throw their records out on the field. We'll burn them. And we'll burn them on the field in between the doubleheader. And then they go, huh, all right. Yeah. Yeah, it's great. The World Trade Center is open in the 70s. They were the tallest buildings in the world until less than a year later, the Sears Tower in Chicago passed it. A year later. Yeah. Yeah. So in television, sitcoms dominated the 70s.

All in the Family was the number one show on television for five straight seasons. That's hard to believe a show now could be the number one. And the ratings, they were like in the 30s, meaning a third of the TVs were watching. Yeah, how many people was that? Well, I don't know how many people were alive then, but... I mean, how many people were watching their show?

They don't ever do it by people? I just don't know what the breakdown is. Like 40 million people watching the episode? Yeah, I think so. It's in the millions. There are numbers that nobody's getting today, right? Oh, by far. Oh, yeah. I don't know. Movies don't even probably get some of these. For ratings, like the AFC and NFC championship games, they usually get like a 30-something rating. And All in Family was doing that every week.

AFC the games now get a 30 now yeah oh and they were yeah those shows were doing it because the cable wasn't really even a thing I mean there was cable but it wasn't like it is today yeah so you basically had three channels but there's all all these Norman Lear shows that just dominated and then Gary Marshall at Happy Days was one of the top shows Laverne and Shirley Three's Company you guys see any of these yeah I've seen yeah I watched a lot of Happy Days

Ron Howard, he has a sneaky career. Sneaky, great, great career. Andy Griffith, happy days, and director. Yeah. And like a major director. One of the best. And his daughter is now a big, big time director. Huge actress, yeah. Yeah. Director, is it? What, really? Yeah. What has she directed? Do you know? Stuff. Look it up. She's directed something recently. Is it Bryce Howard? Is that her name? Bryce Dallas. Yeah. Oh, Bryce Dallas. Yeah.

I remember we could have, I don't think she would have done it, but when we were like, for like, you know, you get options. Like when you cast a show, like, all right, here's the people you can go try to ask for. But she was someone that like, you just had to offer her the role. Like that's the only thing she would have. The Mandalorian. A couple episodes of The Mandalorian. A couple episodes. It's literally a couple. Sorry. But it's pretty, it's only been on two seasons and.

I guess that's not good enough. I'm not unimpressed. I'm just saying. I'm trying to... She's the one in the Jurassic Park movies? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And Ron Howard, did he direct Arrested Development or he just did The Voice? I don't know. Just The Voice? Just The Voice. Okay. But he's got a great career. All right. Is there some more stuff we're going to... We're getting pretty loose right here. I mean, we're at a table having lunch. Just, I mean...

Saturday Night Live debuted 1975. Its first host, George Carlin. He's the only one still who didn't appear in any sketches. Oh, he just did the monologue and then peaced out? Yep. That's the way to do it. Didn't want to do it. Richard Pryor won Best Comedy Album in 75, 76, and 77. That's a nice little run. For the Grammys, that's pretty crazy. Domination. Yep. Looking for a dismount.

Tracy Austin won the US Open tennis at age 16. Oh, wow. That's pretty crazy. Yeah. All right. I guess we're done. Is there not like that was it? It's just more of that stuff. Bookend it with another tragedy, Brian. I'm not sure. Somebody got massacred. We didn't really talk about Watergate, but...

The oil crisis. Yeah. Three Mile Island, I could end on that. What's that? Oh. That was the... Nuclear...

It's like Chernobyl? Yeah. Yeah. It's the worst. It's like ours. Our Chernobyl. Nuclear accident in U.S. history. The reactor almost overblew. It almost had a meltdown at this nuclear reactor. The governor of Pennsylvania advised pregnant women and preschool-age children to leave the area within a five-mile radius, which led to a panic they hoped to avoid when 100,000 people fled the surrounding area.

So it kind of backfired on them. Yeah, so just a nightmare. But no one died. That's good. Later on they did. Later on they did. Of cancer. About to say, we did better than the Soviets. Yeah, that's like, yeah, well, they get to go. That's the bad part. They're like, yeah, no, everybody survived. You're like, I mean, a large number of people died because of the radiation of cancer a few years later. But, I mean, the day that happened, people were at the store the next day, which was one of the major problems.

We found out for the amount of people that died years after that. But yeah, that day, everybody, no one was even in danger. And we didn't make everybody leave, which again, looking back now is a huge mistake we made because this is why so many people have not survived. 70s, pretty gruesome. Yeah.

Maybe could have went and looked at it with a little funner outlook on the 70s. Is there fun stuff? I think that's just the reality of the times, man. I think there's a lot going on. I mean, I don't know. The TV shows and movies and stuff I thought would be funner. The 80s, probably a little more uplifting.

I think the 80s and 90s, again, like I said at the beginning, will at least all have some skin in the game. Yeah. As far as stuff that we can talk about. I think you'll be surprised. There's some horrible stuff going on in the 80s and 90s. I can't wait to dive in. Yeah, I can't wait to get into it. All right, everybody. Y'all have shows? Yes. This weekend.

At the Chicago Zanies in Old Town, June 25th through the 27th. Come out. I'm headlining. Headlining. Chicago Zanies. Yeah. First club ever went up. A couple of our folks, Brent and Leanne Cooper, they do a great ministry called Ring of Faith, and they're doing an event Saturday to help the homeless in Nashville. Yeah.
