Shownotes Transcript

Hello, folks. Welcome to the Nate Land Podcast. Still staying hello, folks. Until we do that, we're not in time. The rest, we'll do hello, folks. It'll be a few more weeks, and then maybe the poll comes out. Yeah. Oh, you're doing some reverse psychology on us? Well, you just don't know when it's going to come out to let's go, folks. But let's go, folks, still is a part of us. I do like the idea of you say hello, folks, when you're out in the wild.

And you get to go, let's go folks back. Yeah. People send us every let's go now. Yeah. And Mark Norman had a funny tweet. Oh yeah. Great. And we got bombarded by it to the point where I'm like, all right, I'm just going to share it on social. So people know we've seen it. Yeah. But then they would see it on ours and still tag us in it. They're like, Hey, you guys seen this? Yeah. Yeah. You're looking at our page. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, we were the, I like to say we were the first of the trend. Well, people gave you credit for being the first one to point that out. The let's go is awful and it's starting to catch on. So good for us. We were first, Nate Land. All us folks were the first ones to do it. Did you know that that's the University of West Virginia or West Virginia University? That's their, I mean, that's their legit slogan. Has it always been? I don't know. I got tagged in a bunch of stuff on Instagram.

It's just West Virginia. Let's go. They better hope they were before. If they were after. I mean, that's crazy. If they just go, that's a good one. Uh-huh. Yeah. The let's go, did it say? How long has it been? Ah.

it we don't know no sorry yeah i mean it's it's yeah we we do get everybody says that you know it's it's it's bad because it's like i do get the the idea of it in the uh sporting arena yeah i do think it's like i get it but then it's like it's just it's crossed over now it's now it's a wrap now it's done i don't know who came up with it first

If they came up with the first, that's pretty impressive. And they could be like, no, we were the first. Yeah. They've had it for a while because they have like branding guidelines listed on their website. I mean, it's a legit, they have a trademark. Let's go trademark. Wow. So they could be the first. They could. They could. Yeah. They could be owed a bunch of royalties from everybody. I mean, yeah. They need to get that word out more. Let everybody know that we were the first of the let's go. We started it.

Because now, if you go to one of those games, you go back, oh, no. I'm going to find out when it was. I did. Speaking of sporting events, so this weekend, I went to, or this past week, I did the St. Jude Classica Golf Festival.

It was a pro-am that I did. And this pro-am is a world. I mean, not in the weeds of it. No one. But it's because it was a WGC event. You didn't usually you get to play with a pro. So it's like a celebrity and a pro plays with like two or three people. But this one we just did on our own. I played with the thing, which I believe we won. My group won. Wow. Won the scramble and beat Penny Hardaway's group.

And they... I don't know if we got anything for it. We just left afterwards. They were supposed to have a dinner. And I feel like because of COVID, stuff was just getting kind of weird. And so now you just win...

And it was like, someone just goes, oh, I think y'all won. And that was it. That was the celebration. Oh, I think you guys won. That's cool. We get a trophy or something? They don't even say congratulations? They don't say congratulations. Y'all won. I said, let's go. And I left. And that was it. Y'all won. Let's go. All right. I'll see you guys later. Did you meet Penny? I did not. I didn't even see him.

I saw, uh, Michael Conley, Chris Lane was out there at country singer. Yeah. And I kind of know him, uh, Colt Ford. Uh, but it was, uh, played in a good group. And then we went to, so Thursday, uh, I went to the first round of the Memphis, the, at the, uh, TPC South winds. And there's nothing better than a golf sporting event. I loved it. Me and Haley, Joe Osmond walked around, uh,

Haley Joel is in Sixth Sense and looks, he's just, his eyes look like the kid. Like, he's just like, I told him, because people just, we were walking, we went to go eat with Phenom, Tony Phenom. And so we were walking to go eat and someone just, I just saw someone, they just looked at him and they go, that's that kid from that movie. What's his name? Yeah.

And I mean, they're just saying, they're just pointing at him and they're going, what's that movie? That's the kid from that movie. What's that movie? And like no one, he just keeps walking. No one, it was like no acknowledgement. It was like we were, you were staring at a sign. Yeah.

And I had someone come up to say hello to me. The guys, folk, listen to the podcast. I saw him, talked to him right after this happened. But I asked him, I asked Haley, I was like, do you even know? Because he's been famous since he was five or six years old. And one of the biggest movies ever. And I was like, do you even realize it? He's like, I don't, it's...

you know by the way forrest gump before that forrest gump before that oh that's crazy so two pretty big movies yeah i mean two mega mega movies yeah i don't he was like i'm just numb to it he doesn't even know oh like i don't even know if he realizes i mean he doesn't even remember a world without being recognized how old is he now 34 33 33 34 wow so i mean he doesn't uh

I think he was born in 88 because he said he's a big Dodgers fan. He's a great guy. Big Dodgers fan. And the year they won was the year he was born. Kurt Gibson year. But, like, yeah, it's funny to think he's just never not been recognized. I mean, you know, you don't really remember before you're five. So, like, he just doesn't even know what it's like to not someone be like, oh, you're that. It's almost like you notice if nobody did.

That would stand out. That would stand out. I feel like you just go live your regular life. But anyway, so we walked around the tournament, and it was just so much fun going to a golfing event. I know I love golf, and I love it so much, but it's just – you're walking around in a nice course, and the dad energy at these golfing things is – it is on full blast. It is the most –

We are like children. We will talk. It's the most we will talk to anybody.

I talk to anybody like I can usually go to something like I'm like, I don't want to talk to anybody. Yeah. But at a golfing event, you're like, I'll talk to every like it's just dad's walking. It looks like if you had if you throw kids in a playground and you're like, all right, I'll come pick you up in like three hours and you go, all right, I'll find someone to play with. That's how we you could just throw me into a golfing event. I'll start talking to I'll be like, I'll walk around with some guys.

We met this one guy. We were, Haley was, he was like, I want to get hit by a ball. And that was his, one of his goals was hoping to get hit. And we're, so we're walking up 17 hole.

And we're standing there. And then this guy comes over and starts talking to us. And he was a member at that course. So he's telling us like kind of about the course. And we were like, so we talked to him. We walked around that guy. We almost got hit too. Haley, a ball came right over by us right after he said it. And so then we all go like, then we all just go run. And like, you know, you see the ball like go off to the side. We all just run over there and stand as close as we can.

And we just sit there like, we were all kind of giving our advice. We're talking to each other. Yeah. What you would do. Yeah. Like he's got a little window right there. Just pop it up. Just pop it right through there. None of us can do this shot and we're telling him to do this shot. Uh,

This other hole we were standing, and the ball goes into the water. So they have to mark where the ball went across the red line and went in the water. And I mean, just 50 dads would be like, no, no, no, over. Oh, yeah, right? Like, you know, just the idea of like the construction site where there's a hole and we just stick it. It is just that, full blown of just, there you go. Yeah, he was right there. Like, we just, we're a part of the game. Right, yeah.

yeah but you think you are at least well we really are and they they he marks the ball where we tell him really it's kind of funny to be just like you're up like where we go it went out right there so they have to engulf you kind of have to use the uh

the crowd. Cause there's times where the ball goes out. You're like, where did it cross? And you'd be like, well, it crossed right over me right here. So I was standing right here, but I mean, we're all rule followers. So we're not in golf is a game of rule following. So we're very like, I mean, it was an inch. It's basically like, like just in general, where did it go out? And we're like, no, there, there, there, there, there, there. And I mean, just everybody just, you know,

Anybody, you're 30 to 80, we're just yelling at you. It's just very funny. I just thought, I was like, God, this is a grown man's playground. Sounds great. It's great. Everybody's in there. Everybody's talking about what club to use right there. Asking people, what hole is this? It's 9-0. How's he doing? He's doing good. He had a little, you know.

He missed a little short putt, but I think he's going to do good. You're like, oh, that's good. Yeah. And then, I mean, just talk to everybody. It is amazing. So it was a fun – I loved it. I stayed – I mean, I stayed until they kicked me out. I was watching them – watching these players go to the range after the round. They go hit at the range. I'm sitting there just watching the range. I'm like by myself.

I had a couple of people like recognize me. They come up and they're like, Hey, like what are you? And I'm just alone. Like, just like, I'm just talking to him. Kelly Joel Osmond left a while ago. Gone, gone by the way. I'm driving home. I mean, truly gone. They're done playing. The round is over. I'm watching. Uh, I ended up and I, uh, fortunately got to know our Matt Webb Simpson, uh,

And so me and Webb have like, he came to a show once and we didn't get a, we've only like text. And so I've never like truly officially met him. So I was kind of waiting to kind of meet him too. And so I, and I got to talk to him and he's the nicest guy ever. Him and Tony are both sweethearts. And so I got to talk to him. But it was like, but it was just funny to be sitting there. Like I'm watching one other grown man just hit balls at the,

at the range, not even playing. Yeah. Oh, I watched, I'm not gonna watch them all. I watched them putt and then they practice putting just to, it was cool to see them what they do like after the round. I mean, I think it's cool. I don't, you know, other people would be, I mean, there's a, there's a group that, that loves it. Yeah. And we're, and we all love it. And there's just, it's very, very funny. I really enjoyed it. They got a little more info on the West Virginia's let's go.

So how long would you say that this has been going on, that this has been a problem? The let's go? Yeah. I would say in the past year, I guess. Six months, maybe. So last fall, October of 2020, West Virginia sent let's go flags to all the incoming freshmen in the mail. And this is the earliest that I can find something. So they kind of got on board pretty early. Pretty early. I would be able to see when it...

I feel like Tom Brady was one of the... Well, what was the LF... When people do LFG, they do hashtag, which is, I believe, a curse word. Yeah. So when was that? Well, that's fine. I'll look it up. We'll circle back. I played with your dad in that charity golf tournament last fall, and John Chris was with us, and he said, let's go, maybe hole. So at least...

By last fall, people were saying it, or at least he was. Maybe he was the first one, like you said. Yeah, they're saying it as just a conversation, and that's the one that's the problem. John Chris, he's got a problem with it. It's someone they don't know how to have any interaction. So they don't know what to... It's someone that doesn't know how to...

be a regular person. And so they just, every two seconds, I'd go off with Rich Day, listen to this podcast. Rich just lets go every two seconds. He said it, she came to the show in Tupelo.

And Rich will say it because Rich knows now he'll say it around me. Then he just looks at me and I'm like, yeah, what are you doing? Well, I was about to ask you how you knew Tony Finau just because he told us in Tupelo. He hadn't mentioned me lately in the podcast. Oh, yeah, yeah. So I'm just going to slip him in. I do know Tony because of Rich. But they say let's go. I mean, they don't even know they're saying it. That's when it's a problem. You go, you know, you're saying it a lot. They go, oh, I don't.

I'm just like, I didn't know what to say. It's like unbelievable. It's like saying unbelievable. I say that a lot. Yeah. See, but no one else is saying unbelievable that much. Just find your own weird thing. Yeah. People were using LFG as a hashtag five, six years ago. Yeah. I feel like it got brought into the mainstream. So it's been around. It's been around. Yeah. Yeah. Can't pinpoint it. Yeah. Can't find the genesis of it, but...

to get off of talking about Let's Go. Yeah, I agree. What, so... It made me feel like I'm the one. No, no, no, no. I wasn't saying that. Speaking of, I'm going to keep it going. So I went to the Nashville Sounds game this week. I was invited by one of the folks, Doug Buckler. I think he's the pitching coach for Toledo Mudhens, and he's a big fan of the podcast.

And he invited, I think he invited both of us, but you couldn't make it to, Toledo was in town playing the sounds.

So he invited us to a game. So I went, he got me and my buddy and his family, all tickets. We went down before the game. He was in the right field bullpen. I mean, I'm not even close to him. He lifts his hat and he's waving at me and we go down there and he was so nice to super cool guy. And, uh, he got us all baseballs from the bullpen. Oh, great. And, um, I gave him some Nate land merch. Yeah. He's probably like, okay, great buddy. Way to go. But he was so nice.

And he's just such a fun guy. He told us all these fun stories about doctoring the ball when he played baseball and on his hat, he does it just as a joke. He has like pine tar right here just to mess with the umpires. And, and,

There's a video of him when he played Major League Baseball for the Padres. He would sneak from the bullpen and steal people's beers from the stands. Oh, yeah. And there's like a viral video of him sneaking. And he kind of like sneaks on the wall at Mission Impossible and he steals a lady's beer and then he takes it to the bullpen. So he's just a fun character. He's just a fun guy. Fun guy. So during the game, the game's going on. He gets these great seats. Yeah.

He comes out of the dugout in between like the fifth and sixth inning, looks at me, gets my attention, and goes, let's go. And everybody's like, why is the Toledo Mudhens coach yelling at this guy instead of telling him to let's go? That's Sid there. Oh, how fun. There he is right there. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, creeping up to the wall, reaching over, grabbing a beer. How great is that? This guy's awesome. That's awesome. Yeah. So he's a fun guy. Big fan of the podcast. That's awesome, man. Yeah. That's so funny. He just cost those people $40. He's got to go get it. They got to go buy a beer again.

I mean, do you know those people are just like, I wonder if they probably got told. What if they didn't and they're still just going, dude, that's something that you never probably let go of. You just go like, I swear to you. I went to a Padres game. I had a beer. Where could someone get it? Yeah.

And then some of my buddy's kids, they all had a baseball and they loved it. I mean, what's a great thing? You have one too? I do. That's what people see you go walk down with a hat and stuff. And then they just see you get handed a ball and you're like, just big smile on your face. Yeah, I mean, I did. But he, so his kids, they had to go to the bathroom or something. Their moms would take them. And then dad was, my buddy Ben was like, just leave. You don't need to take the ball. Just leave it here. Yeah.

And while this kid's gone, Ben's holding the bottle. He drops it somehow. And it rolls down the stands through the bleachers all the way down to the bottom. And like underneath like a little kid's feet.

And he had to go down there and tell, like, I mean, you see that little ball there? Can I have that back? It was just so funny that he almost lost his child's prized possession while he was in the bathroom. He had to tell another kid to give me that ball. A grown man. A grown man. Hey, kid, those go viral. When an adult won't give a kid a ball. And it's not the good viral. No. It's the bad viral. Yeah. Well, I told that Andrew Jones story on the sports episode where –

I got a ball, and then everybody started yelling, give it to the kid. And I was like, I'm not. I am a kid at heart, and I'm keeping this. This means more to me than it would to that kid. Yeah, that's what you said then. I mean, I still have that baseball. Yeah, that's so funny that you didn't give it to the kid. I feel like you're changing your stance now. I am now. Why didn't you give it to... I mean, I could see...

I don't know. Now you've got a ball. I have a ball. I still have it. The point you made a year ago in the sports episode was that kid wouldn't remember that. He would have lost it in a matter of time. He would have, but the peer pressure is... It was great, and thankfully it died down after a few innings. Yeah, yeah. Do you think if you're a kid, when I would go to the ballpark as a kid, I would go in with the mentality that I have to earn a foul ball. I have to go get it.

What are we teaching these kids? I think they're just getting it. They run at it, the ball, and then you give the ball to the kid, and the kid just would come back and be like, I got it. Like, they don't think, no, I didn't earn it. What are we teaching them, though, Dan? Any means necessary. Yeah, you get the ball. So I don't think as a kid, I'd imagine if you were a kid, you're not sitting there going, like, I didn't deserve it. You're not going to say, now keep it. Right.

I think they could look at Brian and they think something's wrong with him. And the dad goes, go give him his ball back. That's what you said a year ago. So you're consistent at least. Nothing's changed. That's what I think everybody thought when they saw you go get this mud hit ball. They go, bless his heart. And they go look at him. He's got his hat just like that halfway up. Just like sits up and he goes, Brian just...

He waves at him like Forrest Gump when the Muddy and guy waves. Muddy tips his hat and Brian's at the top waving real big. And he goes down there and gives him, gets his ball. And ah, bless his heart. I feel like a glove at a game. That's one of the things a kid does that as an adult you wish it was socially acceptable. Some people bring their gloves. I mean, they just showed a guy I watched last night called a...

but I think you got to be in a section that's like that. And you're like, we're going in the section where it's like, bring everybody's gonna have a glove. Cause they balls just get drilled up there. If you're sitting a weird part and you got a glove, you're like, all right, like you're in, you know,

You're like, I don't even know where, if you're somewhat close behind home plate or something where you're like, dude, no. If you're behind the home plate, you got to catch with your hands. Right. Because it's a foul ball. If you're in the outfield, you may not. How are you going to catch it behind the home plate? If it pops up.

Straight up and down. Yeah, I mean, a lot of them. That's what most do. But I feel like behind home plate, you've got to be hands. You don't see gloves behind home plate. You're behind home plate. Outfield, third base maybe even because there could be some rockets coming at you. Yeah, yeah. You can have some gloves. Yeah. Yeah. He said we should do a baseball episode, but he said do it in wintertime because that would fit our podcast. Like when baseball season's not even happening. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I have a Mud Hen shirt.

I swear I do. And I don't even know where I got it. Because they're very popular. I went to Toledo. Brett Kern. Maybe he gave it to you. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Did he play at Toledo? Yeah, yeah. He played at Toledo. But because Mudhens... Because AAA baseball has always got good names. That's one of the classic minor league baseball teams, I feel like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mudhens. Yeah, someone...

Travis said, my tour manager, like he said something. Someone had a weird, like there's a new name for some AAA team that's real weird. And he was like, isn't that crazy? And I was like, I think that's what they do though.

Their names are all kind of crazy. I remember when Montgomery, when we got the biscuits. Yeah. And I think part, a lot of people were kind of embarrassed because it was just, it's so silly and over the top. And then, you know, Huntsville's got the trash pandas now. That's what it was. He said the trash pandas. And he was like, isn't that crazy? But I don't think he realized. I was like, no, I think that's what they do. Yeah. Which is actually the most creative. Yeah. Might as well be silly and fun. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it's perfect. It kind of fits perfectly. Yeah, I like it. Kirby Puckett played for the Toledo Mudhens. Oh. Yep. Most famous twins. That's what I think of when I think of twins. Yeah. Did you ask him about... Tony Gwynn? Yeah. He agreed. He did? Yeah. He played for them. No, I didn't ask him. How did you not ask him? He played with them. Yeah, he did play with them. Yeah. He was the setup man for Trevor Hoffman.

Oh, really? Who has more saves than anybody. Hall of Famer Trevor Hall. Yep. His first, I know all about him because we talked for a while. His very first game, he relieved. It's not like going on in a AAA baseball game. I guess he's got time. It is kind of fun. Did y'all lose? Did they lose? A guy for Toledo hit three home runs, his first three at bat. He had three home runs after the fifth inning. This weekend? The game I was at. The game you were at. And I thought, I might see history here in the making. Yeah.

And Toledo still barely won 10-9. I mean, their pitching is terrible, but I'm just kidding. They have no pitching. It was a great game. Or maybe their coach is too busy in the stands. Yeah. Hanging out? Yeah, hanging out. He's showing you around. There was one time I was like, I'll let you get back to – he's like, no, I got time. I'm fine. Yeah.

That's awesome. Yeah. I'm going to go see him in September because I'm going to be in Louisville and the Mudhens are playing the Louisville Bats. So I told him I'm going to come by and meet him then. So I'll ask him the Tony Gwynn question. Yeah. Yeah. We'll get the bottom of that. What he thinks. Well, I say it correctly. Say what? Word it right. Yeah. Word it right. Okay. Okay. I'll word it the way you thought you worded it. Yeah. All right. Yeah.

And so what else did you want to... Well, I got hacked this week on Facebook. Yeah. My Facebook's gone. Yeah. Do you want to talk about that? Well, I'm trying to think if we need to do the comments first and then get into the...

But you had a weekend. I did. I did, man. Just tragedy after tragedy. What was the first tragedy? Well, I know what's coming up because you have another tragedy. Oh, yeah. I got ahead of myself. Sorry. Yeah. I got hacked on Facebook. Started off good with the game. Yeah, the game was great. Facebook is gone, probably maybe permanently gone. Yeah. And, I mean, I hope to get it back, but I don't know.

I mean, it's impossible to get a hold of anybody at Facebook. Call 1-800-FACEBOOK. Yeah. I feel like it's like a death in the family. You don't even on Facebook much, do you? I love Facebook. I've been on it since 2008. Yeah. So I've got so many like just pictures, stuff like that. Yeah. I think I'm the only one here that feels that way. I mean, I'm on Facebook, but I don't check it really. I don't ever like, you know, Instagram is the only one I'm...

Are you laughing because that's an old person's social media? It's weird that it's become that because I remember when it was the cool thing to get. I remember waiting till I was in high school so I could get one. Yeah. Yeah. And now it's these young kids, they don't even have Instagram. They're past Instagram now. Yeah, they don't have it. You're like three steps behind. I've actually had, I mean, I've had it since 2008. So there's, I've had friends who have died. Yeah.

who I'm still friends with on Facebook. Yeah. I think about their photos that I could still, you know, come up in memories and stuff like that. Oh, that's kind of nice. It is kind of nice, but now all that's gone because I can't refriend them. They, uh, that's much sadder than I thought it was. All right, Aaron. So shouldn't have laughed so quick. Tragedy after tragedy. I'm just getting warmed up. Did, yeah. Did, uh,

So it got hacked and did it send messages or something? I got up that morning and I had a weird message and then I couldn't log in. They changed my password, my email, my phone number. Oh, they got in there. I can tell it happened at 2 a.m. It's like Vietnamese language now. Yeah. So something will pop up and I'll have to go to Google Translate to see what it's saying. Yeah.

Your status? Yeah. Changing my status. So if anybody gets a message from you in... In Vietnamese. Vietnamese. Yeah. It's not Brian. It's not Brian. At first it said Brian Ahn. Brian and then the last name was A-N. And then by the middle of the day, it was just completely gone. Yeah. So. Okay. So I'm going to start over, I guess. Yeah. Start from the beginning. Yep. All right. And what was the other one? Oh, man. I'm sorry. Uh.

I mean, yesterday was a crazy travel day. I did a show last night at Calvary Church in Southerton, Pennsylvania, and it went great and super nice. Met a lot of folks there. It was a lot of fun. But just getting there was a nightmare. All these flights are getting canceled, you know. And I was on my flight yesterday, or on my plane, 720 flight, and the pilot comes on. We're sitting there about to take off, and he's like, we've got a mechanical issue, and

We're calling someone in, so it's going to be a little bit delayed. And then he would kind of update us. And then at 8.20, he said, bad news, folks. The plane's been taken out of service. I think he's a listener. Yeah.

There you go. Let's go. He goes, let's go, folks. Bad news, folks. Let's go, folks. Get off the plane. Let's go, folks. Get off the plane. So we had a D-board and then standing in line. And then I got through it American. Did they say D-board? Is that how they say it? D-plane, maybe? D-plane. D-plane. D-plane, boss. What's that from? That's from... Fantasy Island. Yeah, Fantasy Island. There's a comic. Bob Kubota. I think he does the jokes. He says he looks like that guy.

Anyway, I got through an American. Did you say that? Did he say we have to deboard? And they're like, what? Deboard. Deboard? Do we get a deboard? I don't think they say deboard. But they say deplane, don't they? I said deboard. I guess that's not a word. I feel like you don't need a word for it. They can just say we got to get off the plane. We got to get off the plane. I think that's what they say. Yeah.

So you had to get off, get another flight. I had to get off the plane, yep. And then I got through to American and then I had a much later flight. So I ended up going home and taking a shower, getting ready for the show because I thought I'm going to have to go straight there. Went back to the airport and this was...

this was a direct flight and got there, rented a car, drove about an hour to my location and got there just in time for the show. Wow. And did it. Show was great. And then flew back early this morning. Yeah. Oh man. It's a long day. It's so funny. Cause I came away this weekend with these. I was, I was on the flight this morning and I was like, air travel is amazing.

yeah and we take it for granted i when you think that's how cheesy but when you think about that brian was in pennsylvania this i was in new york state this morning and now we're all here yeah this were 100 years ago we'd never seen each other ever again ever again yeah yeah it's crazy 100 years ago 1920s yeah we would just be lost forever could be what would you do yeah how would you get back

I mean, there had cars by the 1920s. Yeah, but driving a car from New York to be a week. Hitchhiking a Model T all the way back to Nashville. There is a slim chance. I think you'd give up. Yeah, you'd just start a new life in Pittsburgh. We'd have to record the podcast on Wednesdays.

There's just no way you could get back by Monday. I mean. Just start a new life. These podcasts couldn't even come out on Wednesdays. I'd have a different co-host every week and go, Brian didn't make it over the peak of the mountain. I'd take a train or something. I got sad news, folks. Breakfast. Didn't make it. This horse tumbled down a ravine. Is a ravine how you say it? Yeah.

And he fell off the mountain. And Aaron started a new life. Just got a telegram. If you guys have been wondering where he's been the past three months, the telegram finally got here. It reads, I'm not going to make it. Stop. And that's how we get the information.

alright did you have something or you I took the subway for the first time in my life oh there you go it was pretty amazing yeah I took it going the wrong way at like one or two in the morning went the wrong way I was in an empty train I thought it was so much fun I took a picture of myself I was like this is hilarious and then I'm

I'm in the Bronx by accident. So I had to hop around, go to the other side and come back. I figured it out. Felt like a real New Yorker. Yeah. You know? Yeah. It's a good feeling. Once you understand how it works, you're like, oh, this is pretty sweet. Yeah, yeah. You can just kind of hop around places super easily. Yeah, it's so... Good stories, guys. Uh...

I thought I had some good stories. Yeah. Tales of Costanza. I'm trying to balance out the horror of Brian's life by just like, let's find joy in little things. Subway is crazy when you first take it. That's fair.

Uh, all right. Comments. Uh, Jared Taft, Nate Aaron and bench press. What a missed opportunity for you guys to talk about the offices Olympic episode. Instead, you managed to fit in topics like the Olsen twins, fantastic for, and drunk Superman. The episode was definitely a hit and I appreciate Nate. I appreciate Nate bringing it. Had me laughing the entire time. Thanks. He gets it. Jared. That's me. Uh,

Paul Flanagan. I was driving. I just had to take a swig of water when Nate said the Cosby show in response to Beanbag's question of what they bring back in 1,500 years. I was choking and trying not to crash. I was laughing so hard. Can we bring it back? Someone said let's go. Let's go with the Cosby show. Like it'll go away in 1,500 years. It'll come back. Let's go. C Wade 828. My daughter Hadassah Grace came out of her room laughing so hard she could barely breathe.

When I asked her what was going on, all I could make out in between gasps was Jesus swimming in Olympics sandals. Thank you guys for creating a podcast that we both can enjoy and share. That's very nice. It is. Yeah. I like that she gasped. She gasped. She's a gasper. Between gasps. Have y'all saw each other? Y'all just gasped back and forth? Is that how y'all talk to each other? Did you gasp when you saw the subway? I did give a...

It's crazy. Yeah, you can have those little moments. Yeah. You get COVID, you have it, you got it on the subway. I mean, I think it's breeding ground. It felt like it in some places. Maybe it wasn't a good sign that you're on it alone. That...

Holly's had enough. She didn't like that comment. At KFRichards, I thought long and hard about Bubba Fett's question as to what Olympic sport would I do as an undercover agent. I decided on speedwalking. I didn't know that was one. Seems simple enough, and quite frankly, I found myself doing the same walk while in need of a bathroom. Speedwalking is a sport? Yeah, it's an Olympic sport. Wow.

And we'll show you a little bit what it looks like. It is kind of silly looking. Yeah. If you've never seen it before. Yeah. These are the best speedwalkers in the world, right? In the world. I guess just how long they can do it. Is there a lot of like, slow it down, slow it down, like a lot of whistling just to be, like you start running a little bit?

See, this guy, this is like they're running. This is the one guy, he goes, man, this is a new world record. You go, oh, yeah, I guess it's called jogging. Because I was speedwalking the whole time, but I guess you're not making a big fight. You know you were jogging. Around turn eight and ten, you didn't step it up a little bit?

What's the difference? I think a rule is you're not supposed to be able to... You can't have both feet off the ground at the same time. So there can only be one foot in the air. That's the technical definition of walking. I'll be honest with you, that's a pretty good rule. Yeah. That's a pretty good... Who's enforcing that? Somebody's down at ground level looking like, up, up, up.

Well, the guy on a motorcycle. This sounds like such a makeshift course. They just threw some cones out here. They don't even give them. It's like they forgot they had the walking event. Well, they should hold it in a mall. And that's a big miss by them. That's a big miss by the Olympics. How do you not just have it in the mall? So many corporate sponsors right there in the mall? I mean, how do you not have it in the mall? And then you have the mall just be open.

There are other customers just walking. I mean, there's, yeah, it's just a regular, like people are going in and out of stores and you get hip. Yep. I'm right. I'm just going, that guy gets around that turn. I mean, the hard part is if, how do you ever even catch someone?

Like, you feel like you're like, once the place is, once it's set, it's set. You're like, well, that's it. They could just go, go. All right, done. First place. Oh, this guy's making a move. Oh, he went over and got something. Even though, yeah. I mean, when it comes to finish line, don't you just try to run just to see if nobody catches you? Yeah. This is a sport that's interesting to me. I mean, are there high school teams with speed walking programs? How do you get into this? These are pretty young. I mean, you know.

The best of the best. It would be great if you just had one, just the lead is just this 85-year-old lady, and you're like, she's just, she's like, I mean, this is what I do. This is what I do. What time was this race? 6 a.m.? That was the 2016 Olympics. This is a 20-mile, 20-kilometer race.

Do y'all do that? I immediately change kilometer to mile in my head, even though it's not exactly the same. I don't even know it's close. I mean, it's about the same. I don't even try. Towel under the door. Freestyle is the name of the stroke, boys. You can't just do whatever you want. Bless your heart. It's the name of the stroke is freestyle. Why would you call it freestyle? I know. I think you should be able to do whatever you want. I always think you do whatever you want and freestyle is the fastest.

And that's why they choose that. I think that this person is wrong about this. Oh. I think that freestyle, when it's a freestyle competition, they just put limitations on the strokes that you can do. Yeah. Now, there's a type of stroke that's the fastest that's called the freestyle stroke. People call it that. But you can do whatever you want. But does everyone do that stroke? Yeah, because it's the fastest one. Oh. Yeah. Yeah.

So I'll challenge you on that. Okay, yeah. So you're saying they call freestyle stroke this because you're both kind of right. So you're saying that stroke is really not called freestyle, but it's freestyle because it's like it's the quickest. So we just call it freestyle. Yeah, because it's the one everybody does because it is the fastest. Yeah, fastest one. But if someone wanted to butterfly, if some guy just dove in, it was like, I'm going to try to get all. I think they have some limitations. I think they don't let you do some of them for some reason. So like we said, so it's not freestyle.

When they, that's what you would tell them. They go, well, you can't do that the whole time. You go, so it's not freestyle. Just say that. Franz0589, I love how you guys contemplate things like, do they have soccer in the Olympics? And instead of looking up on a laptop that's in front of you, you just ponder it and then drop the subject.

I looked into it and they do not have soccer. That's crazy. Stop. Stop. It's just like Tom Brady from the week before. Yeah, yeah. We really dropped the ball on that one. Well, I mean, it was at the end of the podcast so we stopped looking. As soon as we got done, Tristan said, there is soccer in the Olympics. And I tried to cut it off the past. I even put in the description of the show, we debate is there soccer in the Olympics. Incorrectly. And I put there is, but no one read the description. Yeah. Do you know who won the gold medal? Yeah, did the women or did they lose? Yeah.

The women won the gold medal. They beat France? The women Olympic team? I thought you were going to say a country, and you said the women. Well, I meant the women of America. They got bronze, right? They got bronze. Yeah, that's right. And then who won? Did men win gold? No. We weren't even in the Olympics.

I just like the idea of the Olympics. It's like America. There's a team called women. Well, I meant like women. It's just like women. Soccer is the only soccer you even know about. So we didn't win. We got bronze. We should have won. We're usually the best team in women, right? I think we lost like day one. Yeah. Yeah. Amber Lotus. Oh, Lord, Nate. A folk corrected your misinformation. You followed it with more misinformation.

antibiotic resistance is not people being resistant to taking antibiotics. Antibiotics, you goofball. It's how bacteria and superbugs are becoming resistant to antibiotics because they're overprescribed, and people take them when they shouldn't, and the bacteria develop the ability to kill the drug instead of vice versa.

I didn't understand that whole sentence. Well, yeah. Somebody will probably correct us about what we say about it this week. We'll just keep going every week. Yeah, I don't even understand. Well, last week you came around. I'd need to go read that sentence in a room alone. Just take your time with it. I would need everybody to get out of here. And I'd need to read it when I'm ready. Like, I would have to. All right.

It's not right now. And I would be like, I'm not ready. You can't, don't bring that in. And then I would tell you, I'm ready. Bring it. And then I would sit down. So last week we read a comment about penicillin. See, I can't remember now myself. About viruses and...

I'm just going to make it worse because I can't remember. But we were correcting one mistake, and then you said that's not the reason people are being resistant to taking it because of – but she was talking about antibiotic – how you build up resistance if you take too many antibiotics. Yeah. And a few – I mean, we got a few comments. I chose this one because she called you a goofball, which that's an old school – I don't feel like that's used enough. Yeah, goofball. You know what's a good one? Blockhead. Blockhead. Yeah. Doesn't that sound good? Yeah. Blockhead. I'm going to bring it back. Yeah. Come on. Let's go.

Luke Harder. Winter Olympics are just as hyped as Summer Olympics. It depends on where you're located in the U.S. I grew up in Minnesota, and the Winter Olympics were way more important to us than the Summer Olympics. That's a good point. Good point, Luke. I think I made that point last week. I doubt it. Eric Adamson. That's it. If you lined up all of the words that Nate can't pronounce, it would stretch a quarter of the way across Rhode Island. Probably. That's good. That's good.

Blockhead. I don't know if I like Blockhead. It's too clunky. Now, you're going to come across a situation where it'll sound good. I believe in it. Tiffany Sadler. Tiffany with an E. Is she really Tiffany? That's how it's spelled. I've never heard of Tiffany. Have you ever met a Tiffany? With an E? No.

I mean, if her parents did that to her, they just, her whole life is, no. I mean, that. Do you mean Tiffany? No. I mean, that'd be most of her life would be talking about that. It's like Teflon, Tiffany. Teflon? Just call me Sadler. I just saw the show at the arena in Tupelo and loved it. Nate's new material is great. I was shocked and amazed at Bryce and his stage presence.

He is actually funny. Thank you. He seems so socially awkward on the podcast. I was pleasantly surprised. Well, you didn't see the full hour, Tiffany. Yeah. Thank you, Tiffany. That was very sweet. The church in Pennsylvania, they saw the whole thing. They begged a different... That was a fun show. Tupelo. Yeah. Sarah Meech.

I was dying when Nate was talking about going out to the pitcher with no information. Recently at my nine-year-old nephew's game, he went out to calm down the pitcher who had started crying. Later we asked what he said to encourage him. All he had said was, you're crying, and walked back to home plate. That's wonderful. Wonderful. That's so funny.

But I love it. I mean, nine-year-olds, seeing them out there just starting crying, it's the greatest thing ever. Like kids, like their emotions. And it's...

We were talking about... It's funny when you see kids because kids don't... They don't greet each other. Have I talked about that on this? I don't know. But they don't... I'm going to do this as a joke. They don't greet each other. Kids are very... You'd be like, oh, that's your friend from school. And they just go. And they just walk by them. Like they don't... You know, we saw each other kind of out of context. You'd be like, what are you doing here? You'd have some kind of... And a kid, you're like, oh, look at that. That's crazy. They don't shake hands. They don't shake hands. There's no acknowledgement. And if...

If they saw like, there's no, like if my daughter saw my niece, her cousin, and they're very close. And if she's, if my daughter saw her at the Tupelo show randomly, it wouldn't be like, what are you doing here? They would just be like, oh, Maya, hi. Come back. And then they would just act like it's normal that they're all there. Man, that's interesting. And there's no like, what are you doing here? Why would you be? It's crazy. And then you go have a normal. Yeah.

It's very funny. Kids just are like, I mean, I feel like they're just, anything can happen. They're just like, yeah, yeah. They're along for the ride. They're like, yeah, they could. Why would they not be here? Nathaniel Garwick. As a fellow Nathaniel, I signed my name Nate in school. One time our teacher got very upset at someone who signed their name Name.

They signed their name, Name, at the top of an essay and asked the culprit to fess up. After 10 minutes of heated silence, the entire class had to write a second essay as a punishment because the idiot wouldn't fess up. I got out some paper and started writing the new essay. As I sat there thinking how stupid you'd have to be to write Name instead of your name, I glanced at the top of my new paper and saw Name.

I was a stupid idiot. I accidentally wrote name instead of Nate. Never told anyone. Did it several more times. Just felt like that might be comforting to Nate. That's very funny. Yeah. That they had to do it. Yeah. My favorite part of that is did it several more times. I mean, honestly, never caught on. It just kept hurting. And then they do it.

One, two things before we get into the topic. I wanted like a random, you know, my brother is big into golf, soccer, so Messi is

Lionel Messi is leaving Barcelona. If you don't know anything about soccer, it's a big deal. I don't know much about soccer, but I know Messi is kind of a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing, and it's the biggest sport ever. He signed with Barcelona, I believe, at 13, and they signed his contract on a napkin.

I think, I was thinking about it. This could be the greatest sports in the history of all sports. The greatest, uh, what would you call that? Uh, asset or the greatest move or whatever that you ever could do. Investment. Investment. Yeah. It ever been done. It's a gamble for sure. 13 years old. How old is he now? 34. Wow. Uh,

Or 33 or 34. And then same as Haley Jowles and born when the Dodgers... I think he was born in 87. But you got him...

And when they saw him at 13, I kind of looked it up. I wanted to watch a documentary. It's kind of crazy. Like, they see him, and he was very small. He had to take growth hormones. He's not a big guy, and he was even smaller than that. So it was a big risk just being like, he was out there, and you're like, well, he looks like he's way younger. And then they saw when he dribbled, and they go, well, he's a phenomenon. Yeah.

And they've never seen anybody touch the ball like that. And they just thought, Barcelona was like, well, we need to get him before other people realize how good he is. And I think his dad was like, I don't know, whatever. And they go, they just grabbed a napkin and they said, you are, and they wrote a contract out on the napkin. And as Derek, my brother, said, the napkin's in a safe now. But it's, you, they, people say he's the greatest of all time. 13.

You lock him up for 20 years and I think, and now he's leaving. The money didn't work out or something. I think they're leaving very mutually like, it's just, he deserves to get, he's taking pay cuts. I don't know so much about it but it seems like he, he's taking pay cuts before but he deserves a big payday now. They can't really, they just can't afford it. And,

He was crying when he left. He didn't want to leave. I saw that, yeah. But, man. That's crazy. How crazy is that? How smart? I mean, that guy, instant, just to pick that up, and you're like, yo, we got to get this guy. How old was he when he became a star?

I mean, he started becoming then 13, then he was like four, then he was 16. I think he played 17 when he was his first game. Wow. And he scored a goal, I believe, his first. But they just never, they knew. But he was so small. So you're not, it's not like it's like some kid that's,

six foot at 13. It's not like spotting Shaq on the playground. They said they went out there and they knew it was him because they go, he'll be the smallest kid out there. And it was obvious who was the smallest kid out there. But then when they watched him, so they were, I think were like, well, he's too small. And then they saw him touch the ball. And the guy, I think the guy said he walked around the pitch, I guess the field, and

And he goes, however long it takes to get around. He goes, usually it takes like a minute or two minutes to walk around. He said he took him 15 because he just was staring at him, the kid watching him the whole time. And when he got to the end, he goes, go ahead and sign him and tell him that I told you to do it. And then they were like, all right, you're going to be on the team. And the dad's like, well, I mean, we don't have any, there's no paperwork or something. I could be wrong on all this, but I think that's what it was. And then they just wrote it on a napkin.

napkin started that greatest football it's crazy greatest football player of all time wow yeah i had no idea yeah it's like i mean he has like i believe kind of gretzky stats yeah where it's stuff that's like i don't know if it's going to get broken and uh and just yeah i mean man you just what move could there be a move that they someone had done earlier that changes everything

I mean, he's worth a billion dollars. I mean, it's the biggest sport on the world. It's like, it's like a scooter bra and finding Bieber that early. Right. Probably like, yeah. Just recognizing this will be Taylor Swift. Maybe I should have brought that up during this discoveries episode. Yeah. I wish I'd known this. Yeah. Maybe it's, yeah, it could be, it could be that you, uh,

Did Usher find Bieber or Scooter Braun? Scooter Braun. And then linked him up with Usher, I think. Yeah. But you just recognize this guy is going to be a next level talent years from now. Yeah. Or pretty soon, but yeah. Crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Harry Potter written on a napkin too. Did you know that? Oh, really? It started on a napkin.

napkin a lot of stuff happens on napkins yeah she carried an iPad around with it it's a big napkin if you're a writer you write the whole book yeah she's really small print can I get a napkin yeah yeah how many how many you got a pack I got a novel you just take all of them and the coasters and just walk over she walks over to the table as a JK Rollins that he wrote it yeah she just writes over there and just writes all of it down

She just kept going. Licks the pen. Rips through it. I need more napkins. Did I get a whole paper towel roll? We got a paper towel. Perfect. Hey, JK, you want to type this up? Yeah, I'm on a roll. I'm on a roll right now. I don't want to be bothered. All right. This week, we are talking. I'm sure you've looked at the title. Oceans, right? Yeah. Oceans. Oceans.

71% of the earth is covered by ocean. Wow. Are you mocking already out of the gate? Yeah. No, I don't know. It's going to be a long last hour here. It's a, it's a, no, yeah. Like most of the, yeah. The oceans are, they're very big is the point.

Yeah. We are off to the races. That's the theme of the show, for sure. A third of the Pacific Ocean covers a third of the planet. Yeah. I'm just laying the groundwork here. Yeah. So people know it's water. Yeah. Oceans are water. Yep. Not to be confused with a lake. Or a sea. A sea. A sea is different than an ocean. Do we know what all the distinctions are between these different types of bodies of water? A gulf versus a...

I think I could eyeball it. Yeah, it's almost like you know what it is when you see it on a map. We'd always go to the Gulf of Mexico vacation. It looks like just a lake. It's just not the regular ocean. You feel like it's your Walmart version ocean. You go and it's brown. You're like, oh, God, that's our beach we get to go to. That's funny because I thought the exact opposite. When I'd go, I'm like, oh, my gosh, I'm finally at the ocean. And then my friends are like, well, that's the Gulf of Mexico. Yeah.

Well, they were, well, you've never seen water. You know, y'all had such a long journey down on the horse that you can't believe it. From Lebanon. From Lebanon, Tennessee. There you go. Ooh, back the horse up. Ryan jumps off. There's five oceans. There was four when I was in school. Yeah. But they found another one. Okay, okay. Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic. Yeah. What's that fifth one? Persian.

Persian Ocean. That's a good guess. Peru. Is this our other P? What does it start with? An S.

Ooh, San Diego. San Diego ocean. Salty. Salty ocean. Is it going to be like, I can't believe you missed that one? Am I going to get trashed? No, like I said in school. I said San Diego, so I bet you're all right. I meant both of them. Yeah. But if we had missed Pacific, we would look silly. But I'm saying this is the hard one. Spaz-cific. Spaz-cific.

This one. Is it specific? It's a very specific ocean you have to think of. This one came along in 2000. They declared it an ocean. So we weren't even. How do you. This should have been your. You should have been in your wheelhouse. This is when. I learned my oceans a little before 2000. Nine years old, though. You should have been updated. Yeah. Y'all would have. Y'all didn't talk about it then. Your teacher doesn't run in the room and go, guys. Breaking news. You will never believe there's a new ocean.

We were trying to get over all the Pluto stuff. Yeah. How do you have a new ocean in 2000? That's what's embarrassing with the aliens come down. And then we go, they go, they're like, so how much is the body of land? You're like, oh, we just found one. And they go, you just on your earth? You, Jimmy, y'all didn't recognize an ocean? A gigantic, most of this planet's water. And you're telling me.

Y'all just discovered one part of it. You go, you know, there's an ocean over there. I kept walking. Y'all have planes, right? And they go, yeah, we've been flying. Looking down, everybody just looks at the land. We just never thought about it. Never thought about finding this ocean. How do you not find the ocean? It's the Southern Ocean. It goes around Antarctica. And before that, they just called that, oh, this part's Pacific, this part's Atlantic, Indian. But then they're like, nope, it's its own ocean.

How do they decide that? The International Hydrographic Organization came up with this. It's a made-up organization. We don't do much. A bunch of wildcats. That's what we would tell the aliens. We're like, let's have Antarctica. We just don't go up there. It's like your attic. You're like, there's stuff up there I don't know that's up there. That's the attic of the earth. There's some people that know a lot about it, but most of us, we're not going up there. Yeah.

That's where we put all our stuff. It's just uncomfortable up there. Yeah. It's always hot. It's too cold. Like an attic. There's no airflow. Just not a good... Never got the insulation right. I'm not going down there. I'm not going up there. More of a basement guy. So, did you name the Arctic? Yeah. So, that's the attic and Southern would be the basement as far as a globe. Could be the way we think about it, but you could also...

There's no up or down in space. So Antarctica could be, you could think of Antarctica as the top. But it's the way we're standing. And so if it's below my feet, then. Yeah. It's a lot easier to walk down south. But you understand what I'm saying. I do. But the way we're all standing. Yeah. Antarctica's up there. No, Antarctica's down here. Down? Antarctica? Yeah, it's down there. All right, well, what's the. The Arctic Ocean's up there. The Arctic Ocean's up there. Antarctica's down.

So the Southern Ocean. I think maybe. Why would you? If you named an ocean in the year 2000, all you come up with is Southern Ocean. The other ones are Atlantic, Pacific. They're like, you know. And you got to think the last one's the dumbest name. Southern. You got, God, when they named that one, like 1740, 2000. 2000, yeah. Year 2000. Yeah. We found it and then named it the Southern Ocean.

Who named it? The International HOC. Yeah. What is it? IHO, the International Hydrographic Organization. Oh, man. Hydrographic, what is that? What do you think those meetings are like? Oh, God, they're not pretty boring meetings.

I found a new ocean. I mean, it ain't had nothing really going on. 2000 was like a big year. Would that have slowed back down? I can't believe how busy it got for a while there. We thought we were all done. The fax machine was just going off all day long. Just putting the, I got to, I put the lines around it. Getting pages. So scientists say 20 million years ago, the Atlantic ocean didn't exist. Yeah.

It's pretty easy to say. It's very easy to be a scientist. You just get to say stuff. Nobody can prove you wrong. No one can prove you wrong if you're smart enough to argue and talk about, you know,

They say South America and Africa were one big land, and then the tectonic plates, they've separated. So we got Pangea pulled up. So this is where the Atlantic Ocean is right here. It's just kind of a... Oh, it was a creek. It's just basically, yeah, it's just a creek. Just a creek. It was the Atlantic Creek back then. There's a guy that goes, I once jumped over the Atlantic Ocean. And they go, get out of here. And he goes... It was more of a creek back then. Back to the old... There's an old...

Tiger Woods, Arnold Palmer, I might have told that story. He goes, Arnold Palmer and Tiger Woods are playing golf. And Arnold Palmer goes, when I was your age, I could hit a ball over that tree. And Tiger's like, all right. And he tries it and hits the middle of the tree. And Arnold Palmer goes, when I was your age, that tree was only about six feet high. Very funny. And that's what that guy would say. He goes, I jumped over the Atlantic Ocean. Get out of here. And he goes, well, when I was your age, it was a crick.

So the Atlantic Ocean is getting bigger, and the Pacific Ocean is getting smaller. The Atlantic Ocean grows every year by two inches. Yeah. And the Pacific shrinks every year by an inch. So eventually, Pangea, this will all join together again, but on the other end. I guess. What's Pangea? And the Pacific Ocean will be. Pangea is the supercontinent before they all broke up. Okay. That's what this is called. We were together. Yeah. So, yeah, the U.S. and Europe are. You would drive to Brazil. Yeah.

You go Florida to Brazil is a pretty quick drive. Right. Yeah. You go from D.C. to Morocco like that. Just like that. Just take the bridge. You don't even need a bridge. Yeah. You just drive on down. You're in Atlanta. You can see Algeria from your house. Take the 40, 65, 440. Yeah.

Well, now we're in Bolivia. But Pennsylvania to Nashville, you're just there for life. You're there for life. Can't do it. I got a show in Congo in two weeks and I'll be back. Taking the bus.

I feel like the states should have stayed together. It's been fun. The continents? Yeah, the continents. All the continents should have stayed together. That's a shame. Shame they didn't get along. It's a shame that they broke up. It's funny that they broke up the way they broke up. They wanted to go solo. They had differences. Yeah. 94% of the living... Australia was just furious. Antarctica was like, get out of here, dude. God. Because what are they saying?

What is, I can't, what's Zimbabwe? What is he saying? And Antarctica's like, he's not saying anything. He is, like, Antarctica, I feel like, just very cold to everybody. That's right. He went the farthest away. He just got in the way. Antarctica just got in the way, and Australia was like, God, dude, I can't. It's like a guy sitting in front of you with a big hat. He's like, what is, I can't see. I feel like Antarctica kind of just stayed there, and everybody else left it.

Yeah. And Australia went off on its own. Wanted to do its own thing. Yeah. It brought along the New Guineas. There's Papa New Guinea. There's Papa New Guinea. Came down there. Mama New Guinea. Mama New Guinea. Right to the left of it. Oh, man. This is crazy. Where's the Southern Ocean? I don't see it up here. China's way up there. China's way up there.

Wow. Is the sea just a part of an ocean? That's what it feels like. I mean, it's like the Sea of Galilee. That was its own thing. Yeah. But I think if you're lost at sea, that's usually going to be the ocean. Okay. So I think it's... You think you have to say that? You have to go in your SOS? You know, it's lost at sea. This is an ocean, so we're good. Yeah.

Can you be more specific? Yeah. Can you be more Pacific? Yeah. In your SOS? Yeah. You're just hearing the... That doesn't make sense. It's China Sea. We're in Antarctica. That guy's out of his mind. It's delusional. You're going the wrong way. You're going the wrong way. Well, as you know where we're going. 94% of Earth's living species are in the ocean.

So there's 240,000 accepted species that have been identified, but they're finding new species every day.

every day well i mean every day they don't make announcements about it is there announcements about if it was every day they just we get it you're finding stuff i mean i think it's like a subspecies of some little it's just microscopic a lot of them are yeah probably single cell and there's a lot of loose you know oh would you see that what is that it's a prey for all

But if it's a new species, it's a new species and you name it, you get to name it. Yeah. And then everybody's like, all right, the Southern frog. That's what you came up with. Southern frog. But if 94% of species are in the ocean and it says 5% of the earth's oceans have been explored, only 5% have been explored. Um,

That could be a good argument. There's some crazy animals down there we've never found. Oh, yeah. Probably at the bottom. Yeah. Just some big thing. I mean, why would all those things could be around? You think in our lifetime we see some crazy animal? Like the giant squid, no one believed existed. Yeah, until very recently. So do we think there's like some, you know, they always have that shark that's like really big. The mag? The mag. Like is that thing still floating around down there?

Just sitting there. Might be. We've only explored, what, 5%? It's like a big school bus driving. Is Meg that movie we saw? Yeah. Jason Tatham. Yeah. I don't know if that's a real thing. Maybe it could be. Yeah, that movie was, the poster was really good. Great poster. For the Meg? Yeah. Unbelievable poster. Better? Was the poster better than the movie? Yeah. Yeah.

you're talking about the one this is all of it just like the artwork yeah it's just like the you know and that's not bad to show that big shark of that shark like that's a great white that's a cool one that is but then it was like it just the shark didn't feel that big it's like when you see it you're like this point like i mean that looks enormous yeah

And then when you saw the movie, you're like, it's not as big as it made out to be. Yeah. The deepest part of the ocean is deeper than... If you put Mount Everest in the deepest part of the ocean, it would all be underwater. It's deeper than what Mount Everest is tall, if that makes sense. Mount Everest is 29,000 feet.

The Mariana Trench is 36,000 feet deep. And that's the deepest as far as it goes. As far as we found. It's the bottom of Earth. Only like three people have ever even been there. James Cameron's one of them. Yeah. Yeah, that's insane. Yeah. He went down there and filmed stuff. And there's life down there. There's animals. Yeah. A lot of them don't even have eyes because it's darker than a cave down there. So they never developed them. But there's still animals living down there. Just walking down there. I don't know if they walk, but there's some...

There's bumping into a lot of like, sorry. It's the most I'm sorry has ever been said down at the bottom. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry about that. Sorry. Sorry. Coming through. On your left, some guy would just, if you just taught one of them how to use a flashlight, he'd dominate down there. Just one animal. Just throw him a bone. Can you imagine being all the way down there?

No, seven miles deep. The water pressure is incredible. So these animals develop really weird vertebrae. Yeah. Imagine popping your ears down there. How good that must feel. Just like... That first one. Just yawning. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. And they live mostly off dead animals way up above that just float down there.

Oh, they just wait for it to fall down? Yeah. I mean, how long does it take? A couple days? Yeah, if it's a few miles down. I mean, probably, you know, just slowly. When are you going to eat? I can see it. See your dinner. We'll see what wanders down. See what wanders heads on down to the bottom. You think they know they're at the bottom of the ocean? Where do you live at? You think they try to keep going down? Yeah. No, I guess I'll just set up shop right here.

And the tallest mountain in the world is not Mount Everest. It's Mauakia in Hawaii. It's 33,000 feet. Okay. I don't know if you know what the ocean means, but it's... What's it called? Mauna Kea. M-A-U-N-A-K-E-A. Yeah, Mauna Kea. Okay. So just most of it's underwater? Yeah. So we don't care about it? Oh, this mountain is underwater? Yeah. Oh. Okay. Okay.

I didn't pick that up. Yeah. So the Mount Everest is the most land ocean. Most land mountain. Tallest mountain. You think that's what Mount Everest, the other one says? Because I'm bigger than you. Yeah? Where are you? Exactly. Call me when you lose some weight. Call when you lose some water weight. I'll be up here.

You ever seen clouds? No? You're not high enough. Get out of here. Beat it. Can you believe this guy? McKinley comes over. He goes, what does that guy do? He goes, McKinley. McKinley. His head's over. Fort Hood, what are you boys up to?

Look at this dumb mountain. Fort Hood? It's a military base. Well, Mount Fort Hood is Mount Hood. What is the other one? Mount Hood, right? Are you like Mount Rainier? No, I know Mount Rainier is my joke. Yeah. I couldn't forget it. There's a hood. There is maybe a Mount Hood. West Point comes over. West Point comes over here. There it goes. Get out of here, Fort Campbell. Calvary heads on in.

Five of the six largest waves ever surfed are in the same village in Portugal. If you don't ruin my, I know the village, but don't ruin my, you're going to give away my show. I'm watching a hundred foot wave. Okay. So Navarre is where it takes place. George McNair, I mean, I'm on like episode four. Okay. So the biggest wave is at 80 feet.

78 feet, 80 feet, and there's bigger than that. And then, yeah. So, I mean, I wonder if I just got to give it up. Do I got to give up my... No, no, no. I'm not saying that. So you know about this then. Yeah, that's the 100-foot wave I've been watching. Yeah. And the reason, I mean, you know this probably better than I do, is because there's a great canyon underneath it, right? Right under, right where it comes up. So that's why the waves are very unpredictable and they can get very big. And the canyon's like deeper than the Grand Canyon or something? Yeah, yeah.

I thought it might be close to the shore. Yeah. Real close. It's like 6,000 feet deep or something. And 16,000 feet deep in the grand Canyon is like 6,000 feet deep, which causes these huge waves. So all the world's best surfers go, but it was not an area that no one knew. So that George, uh, I think it's George McNamara. Yeah. And then his name, George, I think so. Uh, Garrett, Garrett, Garrett McNamara. Sorry. Yeah. Uh,

Garrett, this guy's 45, 50 years old. And he finds out... He's always looked for the biggest wave. And he went to Portugal to do it. And then he actually changed Portugal. He's like a... I mean, they love him there. He's like the king of Navarre. Navarre or Navarre. I don't know. And he...

because he brought all these people there like all these big surfers now go there no one knew about it and they were in some guy like mess like send him a message or something was like hey because he would always get messages like hey there's a big wave in this country and he's been all over the world he's like they always go to hawaii yeah and then so he was like all right finally the guy's like tells him and they kind of email back and forth like five years and finally he goes and he sees it ends up like just like kind of living there for a while and

He had the world record 78 feet. It's an eight story building. Wow. Crazy. Yeah. This is a good picture of it. I think this is the same. This is the one. So yeah, when you watch it, I mean like it's, I mean, it's just unbelievable, dude. It's so big and it's hard to even realize it. And then another guy came and, uh,

He got at 80 feet. And then so. Do people die trying this? I don't know if they have. I'm trying to think of someone. They get injured very badly. He got injured very badly. People do die. Yeah. A lot of surfers do die. I mean, you just get hit. They say you just get hit. It's just pure chaos. There you go. The guy did die. Yeah. When was that? He died recently. Yeah. January. Oh, wow. A couple near deaths on January.

Yeah. I mean, they just get hit and it just doesn't stop. You're just pounded and then it's crazy. So it's a good miniseries, what you're saying? Yeah, it's interesting. I just didn't know anything about surfing. I think surfing seems interesting. Have either of y'all tried to do it before? No. No. No.

I think I'm done. I don't think I'm past trying. I tried skiing, and I never... Skiing's not... I don't have it. I think you got to try it very early, and if you do it early, you just got it. You don't think you can pick it up later? I mean, I don't... What do you think my chances are of surfing this way? Of surfing? This way. Oh, this way. You're half the size of it, so that helps. And it's...

uh have you ever surfed the boogie board we were big boogie boarders back in the day i don't know what's the difference yeah you don't stand up on it you just kind of sit it under your belly and just just boogie you just boogie boogie on out man it's the poor man surfing body surf yeah that's like the boogie board is you could do it every year yeah

It's very fun. I mean, people are very good at boogie boarding. But yeah, you couldn't. You would just fall. I mean, you would fall eight stories. You'd fall eight stories. If you fall at the top of this thing, you just fall eight stories to the ground. Yeah. And the water doesn't stop. That's what's so crazy is the ocean just doesn't.

There's never a break. It's just, just, yeah. Yeah. You don't factor in at all. The ocean, I think they just don't care about you. It just does what it wants. It does what it wants. And that, and especially there. So there it has that, uh, that underneath it, like the cavern, uh, like the Canyon. You can fall into that.

No, but I went scuba diving once. And this one girl, I've only done it once. But I remember this one lady on the boat, she could go scuba diving if she could see the bottom of the ocean. But if you went to a part where you couldn't see the bottom, she couldn't do it. Because mentally, it was like, you're technically a thousand, you could be a thousand feet in the air. Yeah. If you really think of it like that.

And so like she could see the bottom, you could, she could do it, but there'd be parts. And it was kind of like weird. Like you'd be, it'd be like, it just goes down and you would just swim over it and just watch it go down. And you think,

For some reason, I could sink. I would just, I would never stop. I couldn't even see the bottom. I went 100 feet. That's so scary. I got to 100 feet. You went 100 feet down? We were close to 100, and I was like, let me go, and I went. You get like a watch or something that tells you how far out to, yeah. And I went and touched 100 just to get back up. Where were you? It was a big pool. The Y? The Y, yeah. Donaldson YMCA, I believe. Yeah.

I think that's where I did get my, like, you have to go get trained. In a pool? In a pool. Yeah. And I was in Mexico. It was when I graduated high school with Jeff Moffitt. And we went with his dad. I came back with braided hair. All my hair was braided. Like Michael Scott? Like, yeah, exactly. But I did my whole head. Yeah. Do you have pictures of that? I do. Somewhere. I could find it somewhere. Yeah, I'd like to see that. Yeah.

Do you have blonde tips to them too? No, I did that once. You're going all out. I did that once, the blonde tips. And the problem is I don't like fixing my hair that much. I fix it like the only time I really fix it is like on stage or maybe you're going somewhere. So when you have blonde tips, if you don't fix your hair when it lays down, it just looks like a leopard.

Like it looks good when it's all styled, but you have to style it every day. So I don't want to style it. That's a commitment. Yeah. So I don't really ever put stuff in my hair unless I'm doing something. So it just didn't work out. And then you're like, all right, well, I've already committed to it, so I've got to just ride this out. And then you just wait, and then finally you're back to normal. How long did that take?

I don't remember. I mean, it was, you know, you just wore a hat a lot and you took it off and you just looked like a leopard on your head. Do you ever have any crazy haircuts, Brian? Hair. Did you get experimental? Jimmy, ever have you hair, Brian? Yeah, yeah. I mean, you had a two-month window that you were old enough and had the hair to do it. Yeah.

From May of 86 to... I mean, people that go bald early, I mean, you're not fully bald. Travis, my drawer manager, has been bald since. I mean, he had a ton of hair in high school, and then he went bald pretty quick. But, I mean, yeah, you don't even have time. Some people, like, it's kind of crazy. You're like, if you want to do it, you better do it now. Yeah. Because you don't... And before you can even think, oh, I want to do it, you're like, well, it's already over.

You don't have time to make a plan. You're like, but now I'm in the phase that I would like to put some blonde stuff in my hair. And you're like, too bad. Too late. Mine was a gradual decline. Yeah. But no, I never. You never got crazy with it. No, I never had a mullet. Yeah. Did yours, will you lose it all, you think? Or will it stay kind of like that? Have you started keeps? No. Would you do keeps? No.

It keeps for people who haven't lost their hair yet. Yeah, but you keep what you have. So you don't want to go down more, right? I don't know. Should I keep going? Should I keep going or should I try to get some back or a toupee? Should I try a toupee? You have a lot of hair in the back. Yeah, just a frontal? Just a front. You can do the full cue ball. I think just go for it, man. Just to be bald? Just do it, dude. You'd look like something...

It already doesn't. And he would just be like, oh, man. Everybody would be telling him how brave he is. Just all day long would just be. Everybody would be giving me a baseball. Yeah. He'd walk out with a bunch and there you go. Let him keep it, son. Little kids coming up giving him a ball opposite of the Andrew Jones ball.

Hey, mister, I caught this ball with my bare hand, but my daddy said I should give it to you, and here you go. I was hoping we'd talk about the ocean, my hairline. Oh, I'm sorry. It's all right. They're both pretty obvious to see, so... Everybody's noticed both of them. Yeah. They both cover 70% of what they... of the land that they're on. Yeah.

All the water in the oceans on the world, they all flow into each other. It's one big global conveyor belt. It takes a thousand years for water to travel all the way around the world. Another thing, how they know that, I don't know. Yeah. And where's the... They have a line that's just like... Could you go swim right on a line? Like a lazy river? It'll just take you around? No, there's like water currents, but... But I mean, is there a part where you're like, oh, I'm in the middle of the Atlantic and the...

Pacific or whatever the ocean to touch. It's probably not a sign out there, but... Yeah. So they... You know you can go stand on all four states in Utah. There's just like a buoy floating out there. Yeah, they're like, right here is where they merge. And then you kind of see it. You actually see it. Water looks a little different. It's a little different color. It looks a little different. Texture's a little different. It looks like my hair when I did the... You're like...

Yeah, I do see that. I do see the difference. A little milkier. Doesn't come off as easy. In 1992, a shipment of bath toys from China to the U.S. fell off a cargo ship. 28,000 rubber ducks, or friendly floaties as they were called, fell into the Pacific Ocean. And oceanographers started tracking them, and they ended up all over the world, including as far away as Europe.

And some of these are still out there, like even all these years later. So maybe this is why we don't have most of the ocean discovered is we get our scientists get distracted when they go, oh, these duckies fell and I start following them around. Yeah. And we followed them around for that took 10 years of our life. Like, I mean, that's how long this thing goes. That took 10 years. But they liked it. They're like, we can test the water currents by see where these rubber ducks end up. How do you know which one's which?

Well, you don't know which one's which, but well, oh, like how do you know it's one that fell off that ship? I'd imagine they're not all different. I think they were marked a certain way. They signed their name and then you got to go like playing that game that you find. Nope. Oh, like at the fair? Like at the fair. Just picking them up. You write China on it and you're in Lake Michigan. Look at that. That's pretty crazy. Pacific Ocean ends up in Scotland. One of them did.

Yeah, that is crazy. But they're all connected, so I figured they would, right? Yeah, but that's not easy to get there. Just think about how long it would take. How long did it take? Well, it started in 92, and they're still finding them occasionally. I would have guessed thousands of years to get out there.

So it's moving quicker than I'd like, to be honest with you. Yeah, quicker than you think. The ones that ended up in Europe, they think it went up north over the Arctic, like over Canada, through the Arctic and came back down that way. Didn't get stuck in the ice. Yeah. Or someone just, another, then they do all this, they make a big announcement, they go, now we've had that, another one of those duck ships broke. The ships were bad. And you go, oh.

So they've been, he goes, oh yeah, those things go down all the time. So one broke down in the Atlantic Ocean too. That's where all those came from. Yeah. And they all look the same. The thing about messages in a bottle, what a last resort that is. Who does that? I think that's really cool. I mean, not for help, but just to put something in there and throw out and see who gets it. Yeah. Don't you think? Is that why they were doing it?

Some people do just see who finds it. Yeah. I think people do it now just to be like, maybe someone finds it one day. I thought it was a guy on an Island. Like he wrote help in a bottle and he's tossing out the ocean. It was like, dude, now they throw it and then you find it and you just look to the left and the guy's there and he goes, I just did that.

It gets over there that quick. Push it back. Yeah. Now put, he walks over there. I just found a message. Everybody goes, I just do it. I'm trying to get it past the current and it won't go out. So just throw it back. Throw it. They go, this, this thing looks like not even pretty new. Yeah. I wrote it 20 minutes ago. You weren't supposed to find it. You're supposed to find it in a hundred years. I think you would throw it. If his message bottle ever worked. Yeah. Yeah.

And it's worked. Yeah. I mean, there's cases where people have found like years later and. Because of the messaging model. I think there was one recently in Tennessee where someone found one like downstream or something.

And helped someone? No, no, no. Not distress. I'm talking about like purposely you put a message. Yeah, I'm talking about like has it ever helped in like... Rescue someone? I mean, if you're like on an island, why would you not? I mean, maybe you could use that bottle, I guess. Yeah, how would you even get the... I guess if the bottle was with you. Well, that's what helps. Yeah. Yeah, it looks like all the stories are like you find it a hundred years later. Now, isn't this neat?

But I was thinking, you know, I'm straining on this island. My longitude and latitude is this. Come help me. Yeah. That's what I thought people were doing. Yeah, that's probably not going to work. Well, you try. Yeah. At least try. At a certain point, I'll just try anything, man. Yeah. If you're out there on the, you go, yeah. You might need that bottle to catch rainwater. No, I know that's the only thing. But like, if you'd want to give up the bottle, but maybe you have two bottles. Maybe develop a water system first before you throw out the message in a bottle.

So the most, the longest someone's been stranded at sea and was found, survived. There's a guy, there's a couple of cases. There's a guy from El Salvador who left on a fishing trip in November, 2012 and was found January, 2014. He was gone. He was out 438 days. It's like manifest the Netflix thing.

Manifesto? What is that? Manifest. Manifest. Yeah, I was thinking Castaway. I like Castaway. But he ended up getting sued by the family of his shipmate because he ate his buddy that was with him. So his family sued him for a million dollars for cannibalism.

But his buddy died. So they were on the fishing boat? They were on a fishing boat and they got lost at sea. A storm came. Yeah. And they survived several months by catching fish and birds and drinking turtle blood and rainwater. Yeah. But then one of the birds had a poisonous snake in it and it killed his buddy. The buddy died from it. So...

His friend asked him, don't eat my corpse. So he kept him. He said he kept him on the boat for six days talking to his corpse. Then he finally was like, I'm going crazy. So he threw his corpse over. And months later, he was rescued on some. Wait, so he didn't eat it? The family of the guy who died sued him, said that he ate him. But he says he didn't. Yeah. So there's a lawsuit, a million dollar lawsuit. Still going on? How could you even sue him?

Well, he was the one who hired this guy who went out to sea. So he thought this was a long game? He's like, he's a cannibalist, and he's like, well, I've got to make it look good. So I'm going to be stranded at sea for... I fed a bird a poisonous snake. I don't want it coming back to me. So I fed a bird a poisonous snake. Just hoped. Yeah.

That was my sign if this was going to work out or not. And then I see that bird kind of limping over his fontan and I go, uh-oh. It's time. And he goes, you swear you're not going to eat me when I die? Don't eat me because I swear to you. Pinky promise, dude. Why would I do that? You think that's what I did? I did all this. I did all of this. Just so I could eat you. Why would I not just eat you when you're not having a poisonous snake inside of you? And he goes, good point.

They left for cards for one day when he died, took all his money. Pick a car. Yeah. And then he goes, I didn't eat. Why don't they just go? They got an evening. They go, we think you did. How do you prove that? Yeah, I don't know. But I think they just wanted, he wrote a book about his days at sea and the family of the other victim, I think wanted some of the money. And his lawyers said the book didn't sell very well. So they only sold 1500 copies in the U S.

How bad is that book? Because it's an amazing story. How bad of a writer are you that you can't write a book like that work? Well, let's get someone to help you write it. No, I got it. There's a lot of stuff I got to work out. I got to get my thoughts together. My alibi. It says after 11 days in the hospital after he was saved, he was diagnosed with a fear of water. I bet so. That'd be a tough one to have stranded at sea.

Fear of water. I'm terrified of water, by the way. I don't like the ocean. I don't like swimming in it. It's crazy to be like they're accusing him of cannibalizing their relative in order to survive, despite their pact that they said they would not eat, be eaten after death.

Which is just very funny. They go, we think you did it. You go, well, I find that hard to believe because we both agreed that I wouldn't. So tell me where that... That argument just doesn't even make sense. It's a perfect... If I killed someone, you're like, did you kill this person? You're like, I don't know. It's pretty hard when I've never killed someone in my life. And you go, well, that's a good comment. That's a good point. When we agreed not to kill each other. I agreed. I promised him I would never... Have you ever...

wife or husband ever kill one another, the other one should go, well, that seems ridiculous because we promised we would never kill each other. And they go, well, that's a... Damn it, that's a good point. All right, well, fine. Someone else is out there, you know. There was another case, the Tonga boys. These were teenage boys in the 1960s who stole a fishing boat just for fun and they got shipwrecked on a remote island and they were there for 15 months and...

it's like interesting case study because there's the Lord of the flies, which was about kind of like that, where they all turn on each other and killed each other. These guys cooperated. They quickly came up with a system of leadership. Yeah. They started a fire and kept it going for like a month and they all just quickly work together. And the older boys kind of help the younger boys. So it's a great story as far as cooperation and working together. And they were eventually rescued and, uh,

I think some of them are still alive today. Oh, yeah? But they say it's a good example of how humans don't just all turn on each other. Did they have a camera? I think that's when they went back to, which, why would they ever want to go back to that place? Yeah. See the old neighborhood. Yeah.

I'd be afraid to be like Gilligan's Island. Do you remember that? Right over there? You vomited. We thought you were going to die. Right here's where we talked about if we were going to eat you or not. Right there? Yeah. Yeah, we talked about it. Had a decent time. You were weak, but we decided not to. So let's say the three of us are on a plane somewhere. It crashes. The three of us are stranded on an island. What's the system? What's the approach?

I mean, do we just defer? Does Nate the leader? Or is there seniority? What's my role? How can I help out the three of us? I feel like we've had this question before. Yeah, we talked about...

Talk about what we'd do if we were a heist. Yeah, this is different. This is a strange one. Yeah, we talked about like eating. Yeah, well, that's strange. That's strange in the mountains or something like that. Hiking. So this is like Speed 2 was on last night. So I watched some of that and it's just so funny that they just did it and they go, what about a boat? And they go, all right, yeah. They go, can't stop the boat. The boat's going to hit something. They go, great.

Great. That's unbelievable. So the same, but a little different. I mean, and you're just like, yeah, that's fine. And they got Sandra Bullock. Yep. But Jason Patrick, right? Yeah. Is he playing the same character? Yeah, I think so. I didn't watch the whole thing. But it's like Keanu Reeves, I was surprised Sandra Bullock, I guess maybe she was just kind of popping off. So maybe they could, she had to, they could have got it. Keanu Reeves was like,

about to blow up and be huge. So he was like able to get out of it, but it's just, I mean, the odds of speed too, just being like, yeah, what are we doing on a boat? And they go, that's pretty different. Uh, all right. All right. I'll listen. I love that every movie you've mentioned since you're the big diatribe is a sequel to something, just to another one of the Medea's or speed too. Well, the Medea's are all pretty different. Is there a speed three?

flight risk no i think it's a joke that'd be great uh he talks speed three is there a speed three

Will there be a Speed 3? Keanu Reeves reportedly returning for Speed 3. Uh-oh. This was a year ago, though. Yeah. Haven't heard anything since. December 5th. They could do another Speed and just like, but that's like this thing that I've talked about. They just make another one. I'm actually, what if I go make this now after all my, I yell about Marvel. Yeah. You know what? I'm going to re-release my Tennessee Kids special. I'm going to just go do it again. Tennessee Adult, dude. Tennessee Adult. Yeah.

Just do all the jokes again. Nate, can you swim good? I'm a great swimmer. Are you actually a good swimmer? In what way? Just every freestyle. You let me choose. Don't worry about what's going on over here. You swim like endurance? I'm fast. Okay, speed. Speed. Okay. I can swim endurance. I'm a machine. I can keep going, dude. I'll talk, but I go. Laura calls me a machine. She tells me that I have to go and I have to go.

When I do stuff with someone, she'll say, you need to remember that maybe this person can't go as much as you can. And I have to – and I go walk around and I go somewhere. It's like I can just go. Yeah. And so this golf course we went is like I can walk around for 12 hours. And so I have to like – And that carries over into the water. Carries over into the water. So then I have to – if I'm with someone that doesn't – I have to –

Laura goes, you need to make sure that you need to be like, hey, if you need to rest or something, go. If I go walk around my dad or anybody, I got to be like, hey, oh, yeah, are you too hot? I go golfing at 100 degree weather. I'm a machine. Like Bert Krusche. I couldn't do what Tom Hanks did in Castaway. I mean, he was very smart, came up with the currents and stuff.

Remember he created a makeshift raft? I think when you have that's all you have to do you can figure some stuff out. You'd probably be up there watching TV. I mean maybe I could eventually learn how to You put some sticks you tie some sticks in a square together and watch these birds fly through it and we'd go dude how long is this? And you go it's almost over. Same thing on every channel. Do they have the weather? It's like it's coming up.

I think it's cloudy today. The most remote area on Earth is a spot in the... I think I would forget you were on the island pretty quick. If the three of us were... Three of us were there together. You'd show up, I'd be like, God, dude, where have you been? I'd be Wilson. Yeah. What else happened? You'd try to save me if I was out to sea, but...

I think Aaron would hit you in the head with a rock quick. And I'm like, what are you doing? You're like, dude, who are we kidding ourselves? You think he's going to survive this? I'm like, well, let him get weak first. Let him die naturally. What happened next week? Yeah. You just got charged with murder for no reason. Yeah. And then they hear, boom, boom, boat pulls up. And you just murdered him, dude. Like, are you kidding me?

Oh, God. Both have to bury me real fast. It was just two of us. Just two of us. The remote, would you kill me right away? No. I mean, can you swim? Barely. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Just take him out swimming. He'd take you out swimming. Hey, can you grab me that? Hey, Brian, let's go for a swim. Yeah.

The most remote place on Earth is a place in the Pacific Ocean, Point Nemo, 1,670 miles from land. If you were out there at that spot, the closest you'd be to other humans are the astronauts on the International Space Station. Wow. Wow. That's out there. What's it called? Point Nemo. Point Nemo. It's not an actual island. It's just a location in the ocean. It's the furthest distance from land. Yeah, it's just right here. Just in the middle. South Pacific Ocean.

almost in the southern ocean but you'd be right next to those people over there what people that's 1600 miles up above it yeah oh then you're right oh that's chile and then new zealand's right there yeah but i think that's pretty far dude yeah that's not like you can't see it from there it's farther than space 1600 miles day swim yeah you're a machine i'm a machine dude

The Pacific Ocean. I mean, sorry. The Bermuda Triangle. Yeah, I like the Bermuda Triangle. Yeah. I think it's fun. Unexplained disappearances, ships, planes. The Bermuda Triangle was very big, I think, in my young days. You don't hear about it as much, do you? You don't hear about it as much. You kids now don't care about it. Christopher Columbus referenced it when he sailed through there. See? He made it through. Yeah. He also thought manatees were mermaids. Well...

Maybe they were. What goes on at the Bermuda Triangle? It's just... Just weird stuff. Boats disappear. Planes have disappeared. Yeah. They think maybe it's some weird gravitational pull of the Earth. Okay. So it's not something supernatural. It's a... Well, some people think aliens, Middle Earth, things get sucked in. And they can't go investigate it because when you go in there... No one comes out. Yep. Wow. When I say people, I'm not saying scientists. Dude...

Do planes fly over the Bermuda Triangle? I think they do. A lot of Bigfoot people have been in there. Yeah. That's it. They take their boats and they go talk about Bigfoot. Do planes fly? Do they fly over now? They avoid it. It's like the 13th floor at a hotel. No, I think they fly over it. You just go, we got some weather coming up. I think they figured it out.

Why do they avoid it? I don't think they avoid it. Oh, but why? Do they really not know what ever happened? I think it's just coincidence and kind of superstition. I don't think it's really... 50 ships and 20 planes just disappear. Yeah. And we're just kind of breezing over it.

Well, I mean, like 50 ships and 20 aircraft have gone missing. That Malaysian flight, that wasn't pretty much a triangle, but it, I mean, I had no idea where it is. Well, Indian Ocean, I guess. Yeah. All right. UFOs. I mean, that's the big theory now is that UFOs are in the ocean. Yes. Yeah. And one of those recent videos that was released, you see it go down, they yell splash and it goes in the ocean. Yeah.

Who yelled splash? I think the people in the Navy ship. Okay. The aliens? The UFO went down. They yelled splash. Cannonball. Jackknife. Splash. Yeah. You ever do the jackknife? Oh, yeah. That's where you hold your leg back? One knee up. Oh, knee up. And then slam into it. Yeah. It's a big splash. That's a big, yeah. Over the cannonball? Oh, bigger for sure. Really? I think so.

when i did it at least i feel like you'd be a cannonball guy yeah i love flip dude you did flips all kinds of flips man really yeah you hated the water a pool's different yeah you know you can see what's going on at the pool yeah so that could have been your freestyle at the olympics just do a flip just to go just fall fall forward and let it let the rest do the rest

I stand at the edge of the pool and just lean forward. Just lean forward. Fall in. It's just perfectly, you land just straight on your feet. Would you do a flip on a high dive?

Oh, no, no. I wouldn't do that. Have you ever gone on a high dive? No. No. No. I'm scared of heights. Yeah. The diving board I'm talking about is like, I don't know, three feet off the ground. Would you flip and dive or just flip and feet? No, just flip. Just your back flip? It's, you know, wherever it hits the water, you just kind of deal with it. You don't really have a plan. You're just, I'm going to go around until I'm done. Yeah.

I flipped once and went straight up and landed on my back on the diving board. I was probably like six or something. I go straight up and just landed. I remember it. Just land straight. You landed on it? I didn't go forward. You didn't fall into the water after that? You landed back on the board? No, I just jumped straight up and then did the flip and landed on my back on the diving board. I think I had floaties on. I was that little.

Remember in Shallow Hal when she jumps off the diving board and that kid is up in a tree? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, all right. Well, anyway, there's a place off the coast of Malibu called Sycamore Knoll that they think maybe is a secret alien base or government secret base there that they go underwater there. Because you can see on satellite images that there's something...

down there that's circular that they think could be an alien ship or who knows what. And no one goes over there and checks it out? I guess it's not maybe allowed by just the average person. So there's your answer? Yeah. Where is it at? Off the Malibu coast. It looks like one of those things in the middle of a pizza. You know what I'm talking about? Like the little table? Yeah.

But the UFO community, they think maybe the oceans were. Even that Captain Favor, the Navy pilot who saw the Tic Tac, he said it was circling above the water in the ocean. I thought you were describing a Tic Tac and you called it a Tic Tac. Yeah. That's the oldest thing you've ever said. Yeah, that's fair. He saw it on Tic Tac. Tic Tac, something like that. Space face. Yeah.

The Tic Tac, okay, the UFO. The Tic Tac UFO. Shaped like a Tic Tac, yeah. They saw water swirling, and they think maybe it came up from the ocean. But I mean, if they're going to hide here, it seems like it's a good place to hide. We've only explored 5% of it. What if Bigfoot's down there? Might be. Swimming, doing the breaststroke.

They think there's oceans, like Saturn and Jupiter have moons that have oceans. Yeah. And they think that's probably the best place for life to be found in our solar system, outside of Earth, of course. Saturn and Jupiter? Saturn and Jupiter have moons. And the moons have oceans? Yeah. Europa is the one, right? Europa and Eucalyptus or Enceladus, I don't know. But anyway, they're covered by ice.

So they're like really thick ice, but underneath the ice, they say, is oceans. And they think there could be some type of, we're probably talking microscopic, like basic life. How do we know? How do we know if there's an ocean underneath there? I don't know. Because no one asks, man. What does it matter? You don't really know. It's weird that your moon has an ocean that just spills all the time, falls off. I just like you're...

if you go there and they go what's wrong with your moon dude like that's what you say to you go to your buddy's house he lives on saturn what's up with your moon dude it's weird at night and he goes i don't know he's got a subsurface ocean it's got an ocean up there yeah like gets it like rains a little bit right you go yeah i don't know it's weird the volcanic sea always tastes like so you take a shower in florida it's always like salty you know like it's uh

You know, every time you go in Florida, you take a shower. I've never noticed that. You haven't? No. I've always noticed the water just is different when you're near the ocean. Really? Like regular showers. Even like tap water? Yeah. When you take a shower, it just feels a little... It doesn't feel like... Interesting. I never noticed that. Maybe they're just getting out of the ocean. Straight from the ocean. Yeah, and they don't tell you. By the time it gets there, it's enough that you just don't pay attention to it.

There's a Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It's a place out in the Pacific Ocean, 600,000 square miles where garbage just, because of the currents, just kind of swirls. It's twice the size of Texas. Wow. Wow. That's crazy. Still not as big as Alaska. Yeah. 173 Rhode Islands. Did you do the math? I did the math. Oh, that's amazing. Yeah.

173. 173-year-old. Dude, that's so big. It's just plastic and garbage. Just think about it. Twice the size of Texas. Yeah. And we don't even know where this is at. Like, that's how much ocean there is. That's nothing. I almost don't believe this. No, there's video of it. Yeah, a guy lives on it. I think there's somebody. There's a man that lives. He walks on it. He has to clean it up. It's like walking in Star Wars. You have to walk through all that trash. Mm-hmm.

Isn't that compact? Yeah, isn't that compact? Yeah, look at it. So it's that bad? Twice the size of Texas? I don't know if it's all that thick, but the whole area is...

Why don't they go? What if you went and they look for your wedding ring? What if... There's a message in a bottle out there. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff out there. Why don't they just... Could they go get it? I think I saw in 60 Minutes or something, there's some guy who's come up the way with a big net that he thinks can just call it in and try to clean it up. And then go put it...

Another ocean. Indian Ocean. Yeah, go to the Indian Ocean. Dump it on the ocean. Get some on the Southern, dude. They're new. They need to pick up the slack a little bit. There's nobody down there. So apparently it's just about garbage concentration per square kilometer.

So a lot of this, what we consider the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, is like one pound of trash per square kilometer. Yeah. Everyone's not impressed. You're not impressed with it. No, I'm not saying it's not a problem. Have you seen this car? Yeah. It doesn't surprise me. Yeah. So you're for littering?

What do you do when you do a drive-thru? Do you throw it in a lake? McDonald's? Do you find the nearest water? Is that how you throw away all your trash? What do you do when you walk your trash down from your apartment and you got to go down? You drive to Percy Priest Lake and then just go right when you drive over the dam, you just launch a... There's a community garden up the street. Just sprinkle it up. Yeah.

There's also a dead zone where, because the water's heating in the oceans, there's a place near Oregon, 7,700 square miles, nothing can live there because the oxygen levels are plummeting. So sea creatures are dying because, they say because of rising... So if you went underwater there, you couldn't breathe? Well, I don't know. You might, you couldn't breathe, period, unless you had a tank. But, so I think that would still work.

Yeah. All right. That's way bigger than I thought it was. That's a pretty big dead zone. You're giving that a lot more credit than you did. It's not three Texases. It's bigger than Rhode Island. I mean, if you smooshed it together, I don't think it would be. Yeah, but if you looked at this and it was like, well, this just means that one pound is dead for every square kilometer. Everybody that's dead in there. Well, why don't the fish get out of there? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. Move it along, fellas. Because they forget. Yeah. Forget they're in a dead zone. Well, a goldfish always forgets until he never knows. So the fish goes...

hey I can't breathe we should get out of here and then they stay and then they go hey I can't breathe it's just constant constant yeah there's a fish in Canada trying to go visit his family in California he's like I can't come for Christmas this year there's a dead zone it's getting bigger I would have to go all the way around it you know how bad that is it's the thing you know the boomy triangle reaches out

There's a billionaire in the United Arab Emirates. I hope I'm saying that right. You're not. How do you say it? United Arab Emirates. Am I right? Emirates. Is that right? Am I right? Am I right? Am I right? Am I right? UAE. Okay, UAE. UAE. Emirates. Am I right? Animal rights. Animal rights. Activist?

And they don't have much rain in UAE. So he's come up with a plan to haul an iceberg from Antarctica. Is this the same net guy? No, I think this is a different guy. They should meet because they both got some wild ideas. What if they run into each other on the ocean moving along? But he wants to haul it from Antarctica. 20 billion gallons of water, he said. They could be drinking water for a million people for five years if he can get this

It's not a bad idea. It's not that long. It'd be worth the trip. You wouldn't regret it when you got back. I think you've got to come up with a better solution. How long is it going to take to get that

I don't know. How do you just lasso it? How much do you lose as the iceberg then goes to Florida and it's like 79 degrees now? And you're like, well, now we're losing. Tommy gets home. It's this big? Yeah. I did it, guys. Where is it? It's just a cup. He's got this cup and he just goes, I didn't think it through. And then he drinks it. Just to finish it off.

Oh, that's cold. That's good. That's good water. And it's pointless. And he goes, I didn't think about all that. Moron. And then you see that guy lugging that trash. And he goes, idiot. And he just keeps, he's paddling. Just, you know, he's all his trash. Just a bunch of morons running around out there.

I'm getting desperate. Ocean's Eleven. That was a remake. Billy Ocean wrote Get Out of My Dream, Get in My Car. Ocean Spray is what I drink when I have urinary tract infection. I'm running out of stuff here.

All right. We did it. We did it. Oceans. It was a fun one. Made it far. Yeah. Made it far. Not as deep as the ocean. I bet there's a lot of stuff we missed. I mean, for us to not know anything about the ocean, we breezed right over the Bermuda Triangle, which was a much bigger deal. I mean, we didn't mention Titanic. Titanic. They said there's more artifacts in the ocean than there are in museums. There's more. How do you know?

Well, because that's probably true because there's more. I mean, there's. It's a guess though. It's, but I mean, there's been shipwrecks. So you could just say everything that's gone down as an artifact. Oh, okay. You know, there's more. You've got a lot of museums though. Yeah, but you don't have, you know, there's more change down there. There's more pennies in the ocean than there is in everybody's pocket in the world. And you're like, all right. I'll take your word for it, I guess. That's probably true. People lose change all the time on cruise ships. Right.

They just dump you. You run a cruise ship, falls in that mattress, you can't get that out of there. And then they turn the cruise ship over when everybody leaves and shake all of the stuff out of it. And then they flip it back over. That's basically what that guy wants to do with the net. That's what he's thinking with the iceberg and the net. They both go. Because you look at that picture, you're like, just grab it and scoop it up, and let's be done with it. Look at that iceberg. That iceberg's right there. Just grab it. Let's move it over here. Same thing. Mm-hmm.

Can I pitch a show? Oh, yeah. This Saturday, I'm at the Body Dayton Church in Dayton, Ohio. Nice. And one of our folk, Ron Voorhees, is going to be opening up. All right. So come on out. Good to let our listeners open. Yeah. Wednesday, next.

I believe he's a comic. Yeah. We'll find out. I mean, he's got Turler doing a guest. I know. Yeah. Nicole's butcher featuring. It'd be a great show. It's going to be a good show. I might not be headlining. Yeah. Um, Wednesday, August 18th. I'm headlining Zany's here in Nashville. Brian's doing it too. If you want to come see some of the Nate land. Yeah.

Crew, coming out to Zany's here in Nashville. Yeah. I'm in Corpus Christi. This weekend? This weekend. Come on out and see how this one goes. Could be... No one's down there. But it'll be fun. All right. That's it? That's it? All right. We will see you next week. Bye.
