is, I mean, you see the title. I don't even know if we know it yet, but we were gone for a few weeks. We all had stuff, and so we're going to read some comments, a lot of comments, and then just kind of talk about what we've been doing. It's kind of a catch-up episode. Comments and catching up. Comments and catching up. There you go. There you go. That's pretty good. So maybe that's it. Comments and catching up.

So that's what we're doing today. I got my camouflage jacket from the Denny Sanford, right? Mm-hmm. Premier Center. Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Yeah. They gave me this. That's an awesome jacket. You've been eyeing it pretty hard. I know. I love camouflage, dude. I used to wear it to open mics a bunch. I got trashed pretty regularly. I love it. I would wear it all the time. Yeah. Yeah.

You think you're just born and you like it like that more than other people or something? I mean, you're born that way too, right? You like camo like that? Uh, I don't think so. I mean, I don't, uh, I don't know. I have nothing against camo, but I, uh,

I don't like, you know, you walk in a Bass Pro Shop, you're like, oh, man. Yeah, pretty much. You love it. I want to buy all of it. You're going to buy all of it. When I was in middle school, that was the cool thing to have was a camouflage jacket like that. All the cool kids had it. Was it the hay bus ride y'all rode on? Was that bumpy? Or was it, how long did it take y'all to get to the school? Did y'all have pumpkins to sit on? Or you just have to kind of.

Is this in Alabama? Yeah, this is Alabama. This is Phillip Rivers' new home. This is what, right? Hey, he got his first win. Did you see that? 49-0. Dominated. Sportsmanship. St. Michael, go Cardinals, dude. Yeah, that was a domination. I wonder, do you think he goes back to the NFL this year at some point? Like someone gets hurt and then they got to bring him back?

That's what they asked him. Oh, what did he say? They asked him, and he was like, yeah, I'm never going to completely rule that out, which is what you say when you're asked a question like that. I could see it. He probably is like, he's not going to come back for a losing record, but if he's looking at, he'd come back for a Super Bowl run, and you're like, yeah, I'll go back. And they have an injury or something. Which happens a lot. Yep.

Could happen for the next couple years. Right. Yeah. And you said your dad asked him about that? Well, probably. Well, there was a big national news article, so I assume they talked about it. But he's coaching the season as far as I know. I'm sure they've talked. That's very funny that you just said that they asked him that, and then now we're getting to you go, I mean, I'm sure they asked him that.

No, no. He's asking if my dad talked to him. I was like, yeah, I'm sure they had a conversation. When they interviewed him. Hey, read the newspaper today. It says he's thinking about leaving. Because we talked about that on here a week or two ago. Yeah. You said he took it out of context. Yeah, it was a misleading headline. It was like Rivers said he's still ready to leave or something. It's like, that's not quite what happened. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe he just wants that money from your dad. Hey, yeah. He's holding out. You see if the school can match his millions of dollar contract. Probably not.

The school goes under and it's Phil Rivers. They had to pay him $50 million. And they're like, we just don't even have that money. He goes, we better find it. Yeah. Raise tuition. Raise tuition. Everybody's tuition goes to $1 million a year. And they're like, well, this is too much. Would y'all want to win a football team or not? The town goes under. Yeah. What do y'all want? Maybe you get your priority straight. That's what I got an offer on the table right now. $50 million. Yeah.

That would be very funny. Yeah, so I did shows this past weekend with Jeff Foxworthy, and I'll tell you about those in a second. But they gave me this jacket. I want to explain why I have the jacket on because this is an Aaron jacket. I know. You love it. I do love it. Did you all hunt? Never did. A lot of my friends did.

We just weren't a hunting family. We weren't a hunting family either. Yeah. Was that a camouflage hat you bought at that baseball game we were at recently? Yeah, that was more like an army camouflage. Oh, okay. You know the different types. That's the kind that you would notice the difference. That's real tree. That looks like, you know, it looks like the woods. Okay. The army camouflage is like totally different. It's like they do it different to blend in. It's like squares. Yeah, this is like, you know, you got a real tree.

That's why the animals are like, it's called real trio. Is that what it's called? It says it on a real tree right there. That's what that type of camouflage is called. Real tree edge. What if the deer sees what hurt me is the deal goes, you get there and he goes, I saw the Denny Sanford logo and you go, God damn it. And you knew I was there the whole time. I go, yeah, dude, everybody, we've all been talking. Everybody knows you're here. All right, man.

All right, next time. He goes, yeah, well, maybe don't wear the logos. And they all, you know, really go after me as something. I don't know. I used to have a deer peeing on the deer joke. I was just thinking about the joke where the wife's like, just let it go. And he's like, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, yeah. That's one of my favorite lines of the joke. Yeah. God, what was that joke? Was it the peeing? It wasn't that. Was it the launching of the missile? No.

No, that was... No. That was... I've had a lot of animals getting killed jokes. But it was the idea that a deer goes, no, no, no. I'll talk to him. He goes, no. His wife said, let it go. I was thinking of somewhere you could go and shoot a deer. I don't know. Yeah. Something like that. It's a great joke. Yeah. It's a great joke. Very memorable. Yeah. It's a very funny thing. It's very funny to picture. That's what it would be when you listen to comedy, I think. Yeah.

is try to really picture it. That's what makes, that's what we do. I think when we come up with a joke or that's what I do. Paint a picture. I bet. Yeah. And not that I try to paint the picture, but as I'm telling it, I picture it. And like stuff is like so funny when you, if you can picture a wife deer saying, just let it go. And the husband deer going, no, no, no, no, no, no. He needs to know. And then, and then go back and son, go, I'll talk to him. Hey man, saw your logo.

on there it's very funny i'm sure that's how people listen to comedy anyway they picture that's the comic's job is to make you picture it right you're good at putting human characteristics on an animal like having them you've got a lot of animal jokes like that where they're you're putting like in our shoes and yeah if they were in our shoes or wearing their shoes that's normal yeah and the dead horse i got to witness firsthand yeah

Right up close. That's how it got made. He saw through it all. Because that's actually pretty easy, to be honest. If anybody likes Nate's comedy, they are dumb. Because what you see behind the curtain... It's not that hard. It's not that hard. There's a couple screws, a couple flathead screws. You just screw those in, and then you're off and running. So let's start with some comments.

Let's see if you guys like the comment. This is a comment heavy. This is a proof of concept episode, right? Because we've talked about doing this for a while. Yeah. People have asked, so we see what they think. If they're going to be like, hey, I like it. If they don't like it, who knows? Only one way to find out. Money part two comments. Patrick Eversole says,

Nate referring to the water in Corpus Christi as the ocean a week after the oceans episode encapsulated how the podcast has grown from the beginning. Yeah, that's the Gulf of Mexico. Yeah, so it's not the ocean. Right. I mean, I think technically the Gulf of Mexico is part of the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah, it is for sure. Yeah, I mean, if they walked in, they showed up together, you couldn't be like, you're gonna make the Gulf of Mexico leave. And he goes, I got all the things they have.

But it is kind of funny. The week before, you talked about going to the Gulf of Mexico and how it's so different than the ocean. You made fun of it, kind of. Yeah. Well, I don't remember week to week. I mean, I go, every week's a brand new week for me. I'm like a goldfish. Ted Lasso. Happiest animal on the planet, goldfish. Only remember 10 seconds. John Rahm said it. Golfer this week. He's a Ted Lasso fan.

But yeah, they're, they're, it's the basic, you know, they could hang out. They hang out. Yeah. They touch towards the end of it. They're like, they're all in the mix. They're bumping elbows right there. I mean, they're in the mix. I would say the people closer to shore, that family of ocean Gulf of Mexico is kind of like, what's it like? You know, ask the other, what's it like out there? He goes, it's big, man. That's what he tells the ones that's closest. He goes,

It's big. I mean, they were all a wave coming in. So they came in. Yeah. And they just get, that's where they go to die. The waves go to die in the Gulf of Mexico. They come in through there. I mean, that's what's going on with Ida. Yeah. Ida came in, ocean, died. That's what hurricanes do. Because the Gulf of Mexico ate it. Well, once it hits land there, it's going to die out. Yeah. It's one of the only critique of a hurricane.

What's that? The land. Can't hit the land. It's the only thing that hurts it. It just gives up once it hits it, right? Yeah. Yeah, I get it. I don't like running either. A lot of heels. Brody Martin. I'm a special agent in one of the three-letter government agencies. Ooh. What is this? CIA. FBI. FBI. NSA. NSA. DEA. DEA. Wow. Fed. Fed.

For some insight on your Secret Service confusion, all the major federal agencies are located in most American cities and U.S. territories. I always get confused with the U.S. territories. We own some other stuff. You know? You always kind of forget. Isn't Puerto Rico ours? Yeah. Can we just go down there? No passport? Yeah. Really? Yeah. Guam, too. I've been to Guam. Yeah. You didn't need a passport. I took a passport. I think I showed it.

Guys, I'm good. I don't think we had it when I went. It was a long time ago. Before passports? Or we didn't have Guam? I don't think we owned Guam yet. I think we got Guam after World War II, right? A little older than you think, Aaron. Secret Service agent in Tampa could be investigating counterfeiting one day and helping to provide protection on a president visit the next. I agree it's weird that the Secret Service

Thank you.

Our job, kind of like comics, is reading the room, engaging in behavior to reach a certain goal. Like gain a confession, infiltrate a gang, get a laugh, etc. Body language, voice inflection, subtle movements all play into it, and comedy is a great place to observe those reactions happen naturally. Among your other career backup plans, lawyer, adjunct professor, golf cart attendee,

Y'all could add a special agent to the list. Whoa. I'm wondering, am I too old? He says no. No. I could do that. I mean, I don't know. I'd have to be talked out of this golf cart at 10 p.m. Did you think one day that a clip of you talking would be used in a class, an interrogation and undercover operations by the federal government? I'm pretty sure this guy's going to get fired for that.

I can't imagine he makes it much longer once they track it down. If any of them are good at what they do, they will track that video clip down to him. Well, he gave his name. Oh, yeah. What does it say? Come on, Brody. Dead coming, Brody. Now Brody's sitting there. What does it say? That they used to waterboard, but now they show clips from our podcast to interrogate terrorists.

Just me trying to get through horse divorce, and then they have – No more. No more. He goes, all right, I'll show you. The missiles are over behind that trash can. Just right behind that trash can? Yeah, they're right over there. They're smaller. They fit right back there. Yeah. I mean, you know, I get it. Because he's like saying you got to be – being undercover is probably like – you feel like those guys just stink of –

federal agent or something. Like they, like, you know, like they always say undercover cops, like Donnie Brasco, like he had to go in, like you got to go in and be deep or, you know, the departed. Like you got to be so crazy that. We just talked about Donnie Brasco. Aaron's never seen it. Yeah. No. Yeah. It's great. I watched it. But it's, I couldn't tell you, I could watch it again. That's gotta be something. I could go watch it again right now. I don't think I'd remember. And it'd be like, it's the first time.

I can usually know I can start a movie and then I can tell when I go to rewatch it, I'm like, I remember too much of it. And I know that it's going to fade away. And then I'll, then I'll watch it again later and know, Oh, I could go. I mean like Pelican brief, I think I could go back and do it. And I just watched that a month ago. And I think I could already, I could head back in. It doesn't, things don't stick with me. Uh huh.

Some movies are like that. You have to be watching them intensely. But there's people that always remember everything like that. They can tell you every, you know, you know, I, people don't like about the, my Marvel take. And then, so then it made me think, well, I guess I need to go watch them all.

Because I guess I didn't do it right. And then I always like to have something I can just kind of go watch. As I tell you that, I won't remember it. But I think I'm going to wait till Harper's a little older. Watch him through with her? Yeah, I want to watch. Like I did that with Star Wars. And like, so it's like, I'll just wait till, you know, a couple of years when she's like, I think she wants to do it. And then I'll be like, all right, let's watch. Let's go through this together. So I'm going to wait for her. That'd be fun.

That's the fun part. Sometimes you look at these movies and you're like, I haven't seen them. And then you're like, oh, I'll go show. We'll do that. We'll go through Jaws. I don't know if we'll do Jaws. I think I tried. It's a little too intense, maybe. It's a lot. The Shining. Yeah. We'll do the Shining. Scream. I'm a big Scream fan. We can go through that. All right. Yeah. Well, thank you, Brody. That's awesome. Special agent. All right. Do you have to go to school for that, I wonder?

I hope so. You have to know that you have to not be surprised when you learn that we have other countries, other territories. Maybe I'd be unbelievable. Yeah. Cause you could fake it so well. Cause it would be sincere. Cause it'd be real. Yeah. Y'all don't know that you bought Puerto Rico. You're like, we're on a credit card. How did we buy it? And they're like, this guy's all right. He's not a cop. He's good. He's good. And the next day you see me running next to a limo with a,

thing in there. What's up? There's people over there. That makes sense that they have to when you go travel to town. I always just thought the Secret Service came

That's your report to the other Secret Service agents. There's people over there. People over there. Yeah, dude, we see it. Yeah. All right. Something sketchy. Well, if I was going to do something sketchy, I'd be in that general area is what I'd say. And they go, well, you go give us more of that. I'm running next to a car. So, no, I'm sorry. Pretty slammed right now. I don't know what the point of me is. It's just to be...

If you're the guy running next to the car, it's basically you just wake up and go, you're probably getting shot today. Like that's your only goal. Your only goal is to get shot. You just run next to that car and they're like, if anything happens. By the way, inside the car is so safe. Right. The safest car ever built. Do you guys mind standing right outside the safest car? Why is it built so safe? Because people might fire a rocket launcher at it.

And we need to make sure that when it hits the car that people get killed outside of it. And we want that to be you. I mean, that's what you got to absorb that rocket launcher. But the car is safe, right? Like, why don't we just have on the outside of the car have another layer of safety? So you have like, you have a car, you have there inside and then another little window. And then those guys get around in that window. That's super safe. Yeah.

I like that they're running in between it on this side. Maybe they give them a shield. Have a little shield. Build a little shield around the tires when they run. And a little back. Just something. Don't be throwing me out. I had to go knock on this old lady's door to see if she's counterfeiting $5 bills yesterday. Now I've got to run next to her. I'm sorry I'm not in the right headspace for this. Yeah.

I think the president brings his own everywhere, but some of the lower level, they use what's in that town. Oh, you're calling Brody lower level. Yeah. Well. I mean, that's what you just said. Well, that's what Brody's saying. I don't think Brody thinks of himself as lower. He's a special agent. Well, I don't know that he's calling himself. Is he calling himself Secret Service? He's just in a three-letter agency.

Okay. Yeah. So he could be, I mean, he could be the president for all we know. He could be. Could be. I just saw a thing, a documentary on Secret Service guys and the main guy for Obama on Trump's inauguration, he walks out with Obama like right on his hip and they swear Trump in as president and he walks out with Trump. It's just so funny. Like that's like his job. So as soon as it switches power,

see ya, former president. Oh, yeah. It's just kind of funny how he's been his best friend for eight years and then see ya, wouldn't want to be ya. Yeah. I'm out of here. He gets, yeah. But I'd imagine, I wonder if they are best friends, like, you know. Yeah, probably not. Yeah, I'm sure there's like some, I'm sure there's a lot of switching. Like, I bet there's a lot of, I would imagine they, you could be like,

I wonder if you went to the president, could you pick out who is you're on your detail? You might be like, I don't know. Well, I don't really see them. Like, you know, there's maybe, maybe there's one point of contact. Yeah. You know, if I know if the West wing is accurate, I can say, here we go. Here we go. Is that you have secret service agents on family detail that were like a company, your kids places. And those are people that are close to the family and you pick those. Okay. Okay. So you do have a personal relationship with those people. Yeah. Yeah. So,

So like, and there's a plot line in the West Wing, their daughter goes to college and they have to send a secret service agent to be her roommate all through college. Yeah. So they like talked to people and interviewed and found one that they liked. And I'm assuming it's accurate because it's a good show. When, uh, when my wife was at Stanford, she worked for kind of Lisa Rice and, uh, Chelsea Clinton enrolled there. So the Clintons came to Stanford, met with, uh,

uh, kind of Lisa and brought their secret service guy and kind of talked about the process of, uh, you know, he's on campus, he's walking around with her. Wow. So, yeah, so it, it lasts for a while. And there was a picture last week of the Clintons on the beach, walking, destroying on the beach. And there's two guys like pretty close to him walking with them. Yeah. I mean, it's gotta be weird. Every little thing you want, you have to like get these two dudes. Like how much does it go? Like,

I just want to go running, like get ice cream real fast. And you're like, I can't. Like, cause you think you're like, I got to go get him. DoorDash. Yeah. Yeah. But you get one before DoorDash though. But like, I guess you would tell. Yeah. I guess you'd have a guy that you go, Hey, I want a Sonic blast. Yeah. Go get it. But, but you probably want the experience.

I want to go to an ice cream place. I don't know, but it could be sometimes you just want to go do something yourself because you're like, I don't want to get other people involved. And if you know why I got to tell this guy, the little that I've had security of when you're doing shows, like when in Vegas, it's kind of cool. You, a guy comes to your door. It's funny. They can just come to your door right before the show and they walk you to the, uh,

to the show and you walk like all underground vegas i don't know i talk about this like and you go they come they knock on your hotel door and it's the dude standing there and then you come out and you walk and we go you can either go through the casino or you could choose where you want to go but it's usually kind of tough to go to the casino because everybody's going to your show so we go down an elevator and we just go the back way and there's a whole city down there

I mean, like, you go underneath Vegas, and you walk by this cafeteria, and it's got all this stuff, and there's another cafeteria, and, like, huge cafeterias. These hallways are, I mean, three times the size of this. I mean, you could probably fit our house in a hallway. Like, it's just an enormous, like, hallway. And, like, people are just cars. There's golf carts running around down there. And you're not, like, crowded. Like, it's crazy to just think how big a hall is. You're like, man, this is a big hallway.

and then he walks us all the way we come up through the back and uh that's it you could get as much security as you'd want uh they like provide you that to the show and then you know and i've you have it i have it in some other like there's other cases where you kind of just got someone near you know you just want there's just someone uh you don't need it that you know but it's like how much i've thought about though like when you're

when you think like, I want to go somewhere, I want to go run somewhere. And you're like, well, you can't just go like, someone's got to know where you're at. I think when I taped the pilot, it was like, I couldn't just be like, I mean, some I could, but you have to tell someone you have to like, they have to know what's going on. Yeah. And it's like, so, I mean, I'd imagine if you got that secret service, you just want to be like,

Yeah, dude, I just want to go run a Taco Bell by myself and listen to the radio and like, you know, can y'all not? Yeah. Like, you know, I'm sure, I bet they do try to run off. Because in the stories of that where the kids would try to lose them

and stuff at least in movies there's a great disney channel i think it was a digital original movie my date with the president's daughter yeah and everybody remember that oh it was a great movie the girls did yeah yeah oh it was a great movie it's a guy he maybe picks up the president's daughter at the mall and doesn't know it's the president's daughter and then he spends the whole night trying to escape from the secret service and hang out with her yeah

Or she tries to ditch him. It's a good movie. A Disney movie? Yeah, like kids. Like y'all were all young enough. Yeah, it was a big movie when we were like 9 and 10. People got a little Aaron Land. Been a while. Been a while. We got a new crew. Aaron Land's back. Everybody's welcome. Hillary Green. We made it through two comments. Hillary Green. President Lincoln actually signed the bill to create the Secret Service the same day he was assassinated.

Saw that coming. Not quick enough. Yeah. All right. Too soon, Aaron. Lexi Eichhorn. Eichhorn? Eichhorn? I go Eichhorn. Eichhorn. I went to college in an affluent Bay Area town and went to an ATM off campus to get cash one day between classes. And there was a receipt left in the machine that read over $600,000 in their checking account. Wow. Wow.

I, sometimes, man, you ever look, you look at someone's receipt. If you don't, like you ever, they leave it when you go up there. Or sometimes you see their receipts on top of the ATM and you're like, I just want to see, what are we, especially like when I, like when you had, I mean, I would always have like $20 in my bank account, like barely. And I, you know, I'd go cash checks at Walmart because they couldn't tell and I would overcharge my account all the time for $20. $20 is so much. It's so funny. That's nothing now.

But you'd always want to just be like, what is everybody else doing? And sometimes you see someone, you're like, that guy's got his life ticket. What is that guy doing? You just look at his three grand in his checking account. You're like, what is that like, dude? What are you, the richest person that's ever lived? Yeah. And you just think you're sitting there just trying to trick the A-team. You're hoping that it doesn't get to the bank yet. And they just go, oh, yeah, dude, I'll give you 20. And you just take off running. He's like, wait a second.

Do you not have that in there? And you go, I don't have any money. And then you steal the $20 and you pay for it, your credit score for the rest of your life. I used to be embarrassed about the bank teller. I would have negative $8 in my account and I have like a $20 check. And I just have to hand it to the guy. And the guy pulls up my account and he's like, oh, geez. He's got nothing. He must just see that all day, though. And then what do you say? Does he give you the $20 or...

He deposits it and I get back in the black. Oh. I'm just trying to get above zero. Yeah, I'm depositing a check. But, you know, anytime they pull up my account, I'm always embarrassed. Yeah. He wants to be like, why? Just don't have a bank. You shouldn't be coming in here. Yeah. Just keep cash on you. What's the point? Why do you have a bank? Yeah, I mean, that's a good point. All you're doing is paying them. Like, you're the Planet Fitness of banks.

And the fact that you just sign up for one because you got a free tote bag and it was camouflage and you loved it and you couldn't say no to it. And now you're going in and giving them a $20 check. You got to ask your mom for a $20 check because that's probably where you got it, right? Your mom gives you a $20 check. Oh, sure, sure. And then you go give it to the bank just to get to, what, $12? Were you paying overdraft fees? You're up $12. Yeah.

You do get overdraft fees. So you're losing money just by having your money in a bank. Hey, listen. I'm doing better now, but I was trying to establish myself in the banking world. I got you. I think that helps. I think it's a good thing to go through all that kind of stuff. I mean, that's stuff that I think about.

Where it just, it builds your character as like a human being. Just like, you know, when you're a kid and you're sitting there going like, I don't have money in the bank. I don't want my parents to find out. They're going to find out because my mom can get in my bank account. And I don't have any. And then you're like, well, I'll just deal with that later. Like, it's just all this stuff. And that feeling of,

I mean, I remember just having that. You know, I think of it a lot now. I fill my tank up with gas because I just so much of my life was driving around barely with enough gas. And now and, you know, it took even when I first could start just affording to a fill. Just I can fill it up every time. And like I remember just doing like before you don't even go all the way because I wasn't used to it. But then you start going like, well, just put it, just fill it up. And then you realize that you're like, oh, adults just.

They just fill it up. Like they, that's what they do. They just pay. Yeah. And I would never, like, it was just that, that was a, that was a big feeling for me. Just when the moment I could like, I can just put, always just put a full tank of gas in. It's just the older you get, you start doing that stuff. I mean, when you're younger, you could do that too, but you don't because you're,

You don't want to, you don't want, you look at like, you only have this money, so you don't want to waste it. Yeah. And so you just sit there and go like, well, I can just get five bucks was all you had to put in for us. Do you ever not fill it up all the way? Cause you're bored standing there waiting for it. I've thought about it. That's enough. That's plenty. Yeah. Yeah. That's enough. Uh,

I go and when I start it, I walk in the gas station. I let it run. No, I'm not out there. You do that? That's what I do. Yeah. Even if you don't need anything? Yeah. I mean, I would just kill the time. Well, it's not like it's an hour and a half. Some pumps are slow, man. Yeah, but you go in there sometimes. Some pumps are slow. You just go in the gas station and look around. You get something. They give you a little Sour Patch Kit or something like that. There's stuff in there. Yeah. And then you go...

I told you about the comic who did that and it didn't click off. Yeah. And he's just inside and he just sees people outside running around like crazy. Yeah. Someone's like, call the fire department. And someone's like, get those cars out of the way. And gas had just poured out all over. It was like a hazmat situation. Yeah. And...

He walks out with a blow pop. I mean, that was basically it. And then they have to call in all these people. And then at the end, they like, it's like $290 for gas because it didn't click off. He's like, I'm not paying this. The thing didn't click off. But I mean, they're like mopping. Like they had to shut down that gas station. Yeah.

Yeah, I always worry about that, but I still do it. I drove away with the thing still in my car like last week. Really? Yeah. Tore it off? Nothing happened. It just got ripped out.

I got distracted or something. I've never done that before, but I drive it and then I just hear people yelling as I'm pulling away. You didn't feel it? It was filled all the way up. No, you didn't feel it in the car as you drove away? I felt it when it ripped out of the thing, yeah. And you still had to be stopped by people? Well, I was like breaking. You go, go, go, go, go, you go. Oh, let's put a new speed bump right over when you exit. Let's get on out of here. Yeah.

I just heard the woman behind me be like, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir. And I'm like, what's going on? And then I pulled out and ripped out of the car. And it was fine, thankfully. What did they do?

How it just got out, I was like, ah, that's embarrassing. She was like, hope you're okay. Do a little five minutes. It didn't rip it off the thing. I mean, that's what a comedian does. I mean, that's when we're at our best and we do something super embarrassing and come out, we destroy. Yeah. Like that's all we got to offer is you come out and you just try to be like super fun. Yeah.

and everybody like laughs and you try to diffuse the situation. That's what I did. I was just self-deprecating. I was like, ah, yikes. Yeah. Tough start to the day or something lame. Yeah. But you grabbed it out and you go, what am I going to do with it? You start a fake drink. You're like, I don't even know. How do I keep it? Do I not? You start like a prop. Yeah.

Yeah. Do they, but does the guy run out? Do you go back in the store? No, there's got to be more to this story. Like, so you pulled this off and then you're just being like, yeah. And then it's not that big of a deal. I did what you did. I started, I got it going. Then I went inside. Yeah. I came out, it was done. So it's not gas. Isn't coming out of it. Yeah. But I got distracted. Something threw my routine off where I just got in the car and started driving away.

So I drove it, got ripped out. No gas was coming out of it. So it didn't break or anything. How much is like off? Like the whole black thing that goes down the tube that all the gas goes in? No, just the handle part. Yeah. And then I just put it back and put it back in. It was fine. Oh yeah. But I look like a moron because everyone, everyone around saw it. And so they made it now where it's like, you can just, it's a breakaway. It's a break. Yeah. Yeah. It's the way it should be, you know? Yeah. Yeah.

So you just do it so no one even knows, or maybe they do know. Hopefully they don't know. I think you did some damage, you just don't realize it. What gas station was this so we can go look at it? I don't remember. Shell Station somewhere. You don't remember? Donaldson Pike? Where? Donaldson? Yeah, probably that one. I know which one it is. The one right on the corner, Donaldson Leaven Room? Yeah. You know that show? I'm from there. It's my town. Yeah, I remember that show got built.

That's a nice gas station. Used to be. Used to be, yeah. Now the riffraff just... Yeah, doesn't care. They have to be told they don't feel anything. They just drive off. Stuff's on fire behind them when they get home. Doesn't notice for two weeks. How long do you think it'd take you to notice? What do you mean? When you park at home,

Do you think you could park and just not realize it for a couple days? Realize what? That it's in the thing? What if you park where you just kind of pull in? Where's your gas tank on the... Yeah, it's possible. It could have been a couple days if it was just in there. Is it on the driver's side? It's on the driver's side, so maybe I would have saw it next time. When you walk back in to your car? No, when I walk back out to my car the next day. Yeah. Probably. Yeah. Yeah.

sir sir sir you're a folk I know let's go let's go folks everybody says it we can't go anywhere in this town anymore everybody knows this town yeah they know you because we're wrecking apart what was I going to say I don't know there was something I was thinking of but alright we're into how do we even get to gas from that who knows what were you talking about the receipt oh yeah yeah

And then you, yeah, oh, then you drove gas. You stole gas. I don't even. Well, you talked about how you now have enough money to fill up. Yeah. Where you used to not. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't much of a reach. I went, oh, Lexi, Lexi Eichhorn. Oh, yeah.

Goldfish. Yeah. Welcome to Money Part 2 comments. Spencer Sheffield, former bank teller here, to answer Aaron, the Secret Service is exactly one call away when a bank finds counterfeit. And it was required by law to call them even if it's a fake $1 bill.

Sounds like Spencer found out the hard way, and that's why he's a former bank teller. He was the inside job kind of thing. Kind of hitting those ones. Scott Gwynn. A few years back, I worked in a convenience store, and this one person paid with $2 bills consistently. I thought he may have worked for a bank or something of that nature when a coworker told me it was because he goes to clubs for exotic dancers.

The only change they would give their customers was in twos. Talk about maximizing benefits. Thank you, folks, for all the laughs and the good, clean fun. Weird. The only change they would give their customers was in twos. So you can't throw a $1 bill if you don't throw twos. I guess it's a good one to work at. Mm-hmm. If that's the work you got to go do, that's not a bad one to go do. Yeah. At least we can only give you two. You got to bring your ones. Yep.

And then you got the guys that are bringing their one. I'll bring my own ones. Rob and Daniel, Clemson football fans have been paying with $2 bills for decades to show their impact on the local economy for away games and bowls. That's pretty nice. Yeah, it's a good way to kind of make your mark. So you can say, like, when you go there, you're like, oh, we made a lot. Oh, yeah.

Well, for Nate Land, let's all do $3 bills. What's another weird number? Everybody give. What would you say you wanted, a $25 bill? I would love a $25 bill. Yeah, well, let's make it. Okay. Okay. We've got a former bank teller here, Spencer. Spencer probably knows the ins and outs of it and can get us because he got fired from his inside job. But if Brody's listening, he might be on to us.

Brody sounds like he's about to retire. So Brody might want to get in on this too. Brody, we could use your expertise and teach Spencer about what he did wrong. And he goes, what are you saying? I was saying y'all thought it was dumb that I wanted a $25 bill. But somebody pointed out in the comments, there's a 25 cent, you know, it's a quarter. Yeah.

So why not use the same... Logic. Yeah, for the bills. $25. So you got a penny, a nickel, a dime, a quarter. So it should be $1, $5, $10, $25. I think because there's a $5 bill. But there's a nickel. Yeah, but change gets broken. But change is so different. Yeah. Yeah, change can be so...

You know, just one to 99. It's just a lot of it. You know, I mean, it can, you need a bunch of different. So a quarter is like kind of getting it rolling. And like everybody, a quarter is like in a dollar is nothing. A dollar is like, so it's, you can break down a dollar. You're trying to break down a dollar as much as you can, but breaking down a hundred dollars. Well, I'd rather broken in five twenties than four 25s. Okay. Yeah.

And then you're going to give me like a bunch of ones. Yeah. It's like when you get pennies, like it'd be like, you know, and you're like, let's keep the pennies. Yeah. I take them. All right. That's fair. They say there's a coin shortage everywhere I go now. You know, Krispy Kreme says that. That's the only place I know, to be honest, that does. Krispy Kreme has a thing that says there's a coin shortage. And then I give them exact change sometimes.

Just to help out? Well, when I'm trying to hide it from Laura, I don't want it to get traced on my credit card. So when I go pay cash, then I have to, you know. Yeah. And Duslux is a brand, because every time he reads that, people always comment, he was trying to say deluxe, right?

No. But you're getting it right. Dusk. Yeah. Dusk looks. Yeah. You're guessing that I don't know what I'm doing. I mean, I get where they would get that. I thought that for a while. Where would they get that idea? What a leap. Wow. The jump that they took. All right. 1990s episode. Here we go. Ivan Ramirez.

So what's Nate Lane about? Well, they spent five minutes talking about horse divorce. That's a pretty good example. People love that. They did? That was a big hit. That was a big hit. Did you see the fake business card somebody made on Instagram? Yeah, that was great. Yeah, I saw that. That was very funny. Yeah, horse divorce. I think when we got done, you're like, I bet that one's going to be good. Yeah. Yeah. Can't read. It's always like a...

It's funny that as you sit there and really think about it, you get sad. You know? Because you're like, well, I'm having a pretty good time, right? And then you're like, but I don't know how to read. You know? It's like watching Forrest Gump. Yeah. Yeah. It's a fun movie, but... Yeah. At its core, it's a tragedy. Something's really wrong with it.

Joe List had a great joke about that. Forrest Gump. I don't know. His mom should not have let him enrolled in the military because he was special needs. It should be a movie about how someone should attract his mom down. What are you, out of your mind? You can't let him. Curtis Crowe. Oh, I skipped ahead. Master Crafter.

Wow.

Yeah, I don't know about music. That's, but I mean, I, I'm not, I've thought about it. I'm not a music, I'm not your music guy. I don't think about grunge music, how it changed. That's, I don't know anything about, I can meet musicians and they, it's, it's, I mean, I feel like

I'm someone that doesn't like sports and meeting an athlete. You're like, you don't know who that is? And I'm like, I don't know. And you're like, oh, he's the greatest guitarist or something. And you're like, ah, yeah, it's crazy. And it's not like I appreciate it and I listen to music, but I don't, it does not connect. Music, I don't, it doesn't connect like that. Like, I don't think I could watch a documentary on like how grunge music changed everything. Yeah.

I don't know if I would find that. You're saying Selena dying wasn't a big pivotal moment in your life in the 90s? That I don't know. Selena, I do remember it. I remember Kurt Cobain dying. Chris Farley, I guess. We've talked about that. We've talked about it before. I could drive you. I was in front of a gas station, a BP gas station. I could show you where it was. I could drive you to it.

I've driven by it. You've told us this before, yeah. Right at the moment, I go, that's right when I heard Chris Farley died on the radio. Wow. Selina, I remember because the president of her fan club was the one who murdered her, if I remember correctly. Oh. And then J-Lo played her in the movie. Yeah. The West Wing episode about that? Yeah.

Actually, do you know that bar right around the corner from Zany's in Chicago? It's right across from Second City. Yeah. When I was up there in June, everyone's like, you got to go to this bar. It's a famous comedian bar because Chris Farley and all those guys would go there. Oh, yeah, in Chicago? Yeah. Oh, I've been to it. They go there right after Second City. Yeah. And they're like, you sit in this booth. This is where they all sat. It's really cool. Yeah. Yeah. So...

I've done that. I completely checked out when you started talking at the top of that. That's okay. You caught up. Yeah. I mean, I just, I don't know. I was thinking about, I was thinking about Selena. There's a statue of her at Corpus Christi. Yeah. And it's downtown. Did you go to see it? No, but I, but I, we, you know, I talked about it. So there's a lot of Selena talk actually in my life, you know, pretty quick, but we'd go to that. We would go to that bar after Second City.

And so I took an eight-week course at Second City, and my buddy Michael, he stayed the whole year, him and John –

We were all roommates. And they stayed for, I think, the whole year. And then I did eight weeks. And then that was it. Still talk to both of them. Really? That's what I mean. You get in. I don't let you go. I'll talk to you for the rest of my life. Have I met John? I don't. Some of your classmates have come to shows that we've done. At Second City? Not at Second City. I was thinking about your stand-up class.

Yeah, they came to... I met your stand-up teacher. Yes, Jim Roth, Comedy College. Yeah, he came to Wisconsin. Yeah. Yeah, they've come. See? Don't talk to everybody. You get in. Let's see what's going on. That was in the Chicago Tribune. Curtis Crowe.

I don't understand why people get mad about the horse divorce for 10 minutes. I thought it was only five minutes. Yeah, no, it's getting longer. It's getting longer. If you loved it, it was five. And if you hated it, it was, what is that? It was like 30 minutes of horse divorce. How does that guy not think horse divorce is? What do you... That was the best part of the episode. Yeah, that would be on the best of, I think. Horses are getting divorced. And it's more than you think.

He's a big Selena fan. Come on. Curtis Crowe. Speaking of horses, when I was a kid, our horse Sonny died. When a horse dies, you don't have many options. My dad decided to bury it where it lay. He got his buddy out with a backhoe and they dug a hole. I couldn't stand to watch, so I didn't come back and visit the grave for a couple of days. When I came back, one of Sonny's hoofs was sticking out of the ground. Clearly, they didn't dig the hole deep enough, but as a child, I freaked out. I honestly thought...

Sonny was still alive and was trying to get out. Makes me think of Nate's joke. I thought my dad had buried Sonny while he was taking a nap. Oh, yeah. He goes, let's get it. Why don't you cover up the whole body? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's great. Just a hoop sticking out. That would traumatize you as a kid, I'm sure. Yeah, you don't, I mean, yeah, when they die, you don't have, I mean, you gotta, it's not easy.

It's a big thing. A pet? No, a horse. A horse, right. You know, it's just a, it's big, you know, and you're like, poof. You get out there and, you know, you can't do it alone. I mean, you got to get a backup. So that's a lot. Casey Siminski.

That was very funny though, Curtis. Casey Siminsky. Aaron is totally right when it came to kids making fun of other kids watching Barney. You never ever admitted to watching Barney. I hate you. You hate me. Let's get together and kill Barney. What? Was just unlocked in my childhood memories. Thanks folks. Also that baby on the Nirvana album is suing. Saw that. Saw that too. Uh,

But I do remember that song. Yeah. I hate you. You hate me. Let's get together and kill Barney. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Why would people say that? The kids were just saying that. Oh, we would sing that. It's like Jingle Bells, Batman Smells. It's like one of those. Yeah, yeah. Those fun little parodies. With the word hate and kill. Someone commented. It's your speed. It's a fun. Yeah. You know, it's one of those fun kids like Smelt It, Delt It. You know, y'all talking about murder and hate.

as a as a fun song i think it's a little different y'all y'all rose the i've never heard that man that's i was barney was past i was already you know i was out in the real world when bar when did barney come around early 90s yeah i was you're making stuff happen i mean i was 13 i was like you can be watching that stuff do you know the song bear necessities

I think so. I don't know. Someone said that. Did it change the music? Well, they think you were trying to, last week when you did Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, they think you were singing the tune to Bare Necessities. What is the Bare Necessities?

I'm not going to sing it. Bare necessities, the simple bare necessities. How did he sing supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. No, I know that because Harper sings that song. Lauren Harper sings that song. I think, but maybe. That's why I didn't talk about Kurt Cobain. Kurt Cobain.

Well, we just talked about the Nirvana baby, so. Yeah, the Nirvana baby they got that kid suing. But that seems kind of crazy. It's like, I get like, I, you know, I get like he had no say in it, but it's like, it's on your parents. Like you could sue your parents, I guess. But. Didn't he do an updated photo like 10 years later and 20 years later? Yeah. I'm not going to look for it. That's for sure. Yeah. Oh, well, I assumed he wore clothes in the updated one, but.

Yeah, well, then he didn't do an updated photo. I guess I just, I read a comment. I don't know if it's true. Someone said, why is he suing? If he cared that much, why did he keep doing? Yeah, I think he celebrated it before. But then now it's like, I mean, you don't know. If someone needs money, then they're famous. I think it's hard to be like, you're kind of, I mean, no one knows you because of that. You could keep that a secret for your whole life. Yeah.

You could almost not even know that was you if your parents don't tell you. You would have no idea. But I guess... Look, I bet that stuff's hard where you're like, I got nothing. This is the most famous album, one of the most famous albums ever, covers. Everybody's just seen the cover. So you're in one of the more famous pictures of all time. And you... He could have no money now. And it's like...

So then I bet that's tough. They're probably the same age. That could have been you. Could have been. Just sunk to the bottom like a stone. They couldn't get the camera flashing in quick enough. Missed them. Do it again. Get them back up here. Get a lighter kid in here. When Kramer goes and swims in the river and that old man jumps in, he goes, he's sunk to the bottom like a stone. Yeah.

Ron Schick. Aaron's saying Harry Meeks will inherit the earth was one of the funniest things of the episode, and it went flying over the heads of Nate and Borgiosi. What's that word? I guess. I don't know. Bourgeois. Bourgeois. That's a very bourgeois. That's probably almost a perfect spelled word because no one's going to say it that way, and you go, it's bourgeois. That word is meant to make that other person feel dumb. Yeah.

is bourgeois is is that's the whole i don't know if i'm saying that right i think but i guarantee you that's spelled so perfectly because it's like what does bourgeois means it goes you know how you feel when you don't say it right and i'm how i make you feel it's i'm i'm bourgeois isn't that what bourgeois is like bougie yeah yeah like i'm better like how how crazy is it that word is exactly so what's bourguese it's bourgeois and then you walk away and go yes

You go, oh, I'm sorry. I got a Barney t-shirt on. Oh, I'm sorry, I don't know Borger Geese. And you go, it's bourgeois. You drink with your pinky up and it's bourgeois. Which is a hard way to hold a cup. 50% of your hand strength comes from your pinky. Yeah. Why do they drink with their pinky? They just shake and they're just going to be proper sitting having dinner with the queen. I think it's those two.

Those teacups that you can really grab with just, with just, Oh, with those two, just the pinchers. Yeah. Yeah. But this kind of mug. Yeah, that is hard. Yeah. It's hard to get. What is Harry Meeks will inherit the earth. I missed that. He's right. The meek will inherit the earth. You never, I know that phrase, but I missed you saying this. I don't remember saying that, but the guy liked it. So I'll take credit for it. Uh,

I guess there's somebody named Harry Meeks and I said he will inherit the earth. Okay. I don't even remember that. Man, I don't remember it either. I don't know what the saying is. Sounds like a joke. What's the saying? It's a biblical thing. The Meeks will inherit the earth. The Meeks will inherit the earth. Okay. Maybe that's the guy who wrote the alcohol book. Was that Harry Meeks? I don't know. I don't remember that, but it's very funny apparently. Yeah. That's a good joke. Well, Aaron and Ryan like it.

Yeah, I don't get it. Yeah. Aaron and Ryan, the bourgeois. My little two bourgeois for you guys. They're going to start their bourgeois with Aaron and Ryan podcast. It's about bourgeois things, and y'all just talk about how Nate and Bumpkin Bread didn't get... Don't understand what they're... That's your whole podcast. It's for the people that are going, can you believe they didn't know what that was? And they...

Wes Johnson, I am a sneakerhead, and I can say, Nate, you do have a great shoe game. Most of the time, it seems you wear Air Max 1s, Air Max 90s. To the guys asking about the special, they wear the Air Max 1 graffiti. Oh, I'm glad. Loved the show while hiking in Utah the other day. Someone said, hello, folks, to us. Our response was, let's go, folks. Safe to say he was not a listener. Thank you. Air Max 1 graffiti. There it is. There it is. I never knew. Oh, yeah.

It's a good shoe. It's a great shoe. A great shoe. Is it sold out? Is that what it is? Oh, that's like the... Buy now for $95. No, it's only $95. Buy used if sold out. Yeah. I just gave it to my nephew, Caleb. Oh, really? Yep. Same size shoe? Same size shoe. Yeah. And then I'm a nine and a half. Do people buy used shoes? Nine and a half, 10. People buy used shoes. Yeah. What's the average male shoe size?

I'll look it up. My guess is a nine. I think it's nine and a half. What is it? Yeah. Quick answer. Ten and a half. What? Ten and a half. No. Yeah. Five, ten to six, two is 11 to 12 and a half? Uh-huh. Just call you Little Feet. What size is your shoe? Like a 10. Yeah. I think I'm a... I mean, I thought it was a 10, but yeah, it was small. All right.

Nine and a half. I mean, I can wear a nine and a half. I can wear a nine in some shoes. Here's a little pattern coming in here. I have tens. Yeah. I don't know how I even stand up. Here comes Nate. Yeah. Maybe that is why my 14-year-old nephew can wear my shoes because he's not even, he's not there. What size are your shoes? Ten and a half. Ten and a half. What? I'm 6'4", and I wear ten and a half. Yeah, he's 6'4", ten and a half. What are you supposed to be wearing?

13 to 20. I mean, this is ridiculous. What's the source? We don't even know. We don't even know. Healthline.com. Well, they've got to know. Yeah, they sound legit. Thank you, Wes. Ethan Williams. The reason we haven't cured COVID is because no one has asked Daniel Rucker. I would agree with that. Daniel Rucker could do it. Yep. If he wanted to. Who's Daniel Rucker? My buddy who went to high school. Smart guy. Oh, yeah. General. These are just some general comments.

I thought that was a guy's name. Yeah. We'll do some of these in the general episode. We've got a five-star general. Golly. See what he has to say. Let's sit up straight for this one. Goes by the name Joe Ferraria. Seinfeld was able to do a show about nothing in 22 minutes. I'm wondering if you cut out conversations about Let's Go and emails about how dumb Nate is, and maybe we could see a shorter podcast. Is there a Cliff Snow version of Nate Land in the works?

Joe. Smoking like a true general that doesn't get anything. Yeah, there is a Cliff's Note version in the YouTube. You can literally click to exactly what it is. You know what, Joe? For this one...

If you want a Cliff's Notes version, we're going to have it. Can we have it just be his name? And you can click right to it. So, Joe, if you just want to hear your comment, you just go on YouTube. And when you click the info, and you're going to see it all broken down, which has been like that the whole time. We let you skip whatever you want to skip. You want to skip comments? By the way, this is going to be a pretty tough one to skip comments. This is the whole episode. But the title is comments. Yeah.

And so if you, we break it down, you can, the Cliff Notes version is go ahead and skip everything. I don't, we don't, I mean, I'm trying to make a podcast where I don't want to force you to listen to anything, even though you're listening to this podcast. I try to tell you, you can leave, dude. Like go listen to, go listen to something else. So we're putting his name. He's going to have his own timestamp. He's going to have his own timestamp. Joe.

I don't know why you should be rewarded for this, but I want to make a point. Is that going to be short enough for you, Joe? Click yours and get out. Let's go. Let's go, folks. It's so crazy. I mean, we have never, our main, that's what our show, our show's about. Look, if you don't, if this is not your thing, don't listen. Yeah, I get it. That's what, yeah, I get it. Yeah, it's not all of our things.

We try to make some fun, have some fun jokes. Why did they call it Cliff Notes? I looked that up. There was a guy named Cliff who came up with a way for students to just cram for classes. And he just invented this thing.

I don't know what you would call it, but you know what Cliff Notes are? I mean, there's a little guy named Cliff who came up with the idea. He died a few years ago. Oh, did he get to sell them for money? Yeah. Yeah. Now, Spark Notes was big when I was in high school. Did you ever do Spark Notes? No, I did Cliff Notes. I always had Cliff Notes. I always called it Cliff Notes, but I looked this up. It is Cliff's Notes. Cliff's Notes.

So, Sparknotes, when we read Shakespeare, they go through and they just have it side by side translated to normal English. Oh. And everyone will just read that. Hey, so what's the Shakespeare line? Read Shakespeare line in Shakespeare. Okay, I'll read. And I'll read the normal version. That will be air of the set of sun.

The sun sets down right over that way. Where the air is. Where the air is. Yeah, yeah. Where's the sunset? In the sky, you moron. In the air of the sky. Upon the heath. Upon the heath? Yeah. It's a heath. Where's it at? It's on top of the heath. Does he even tell you where heath is? Let me get the translated here. What's a famous Shakespeare poem?

Oh, let's do it. So this is like Macbeth. We're reading Macbeth. Okay, give me another one. Okay. When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, or in rain? I mean, probably not those times. It's going to be a bad time. You're just answering the question. Yeah. How am I supposed to give what the thing is? Why would I want to meet in the thunder? How about we pick a nice, sunny afternoon? I don't want to bring my horse out in all the muck.

How about Romeo, Romeo, where art thou, Romeo? Like, Romeo, where are you? Yeah. Where did you go? No, that's actually not what it means. Why are you? Why are you, Romeo? Wherefore means why. So why are you, Romeo? Because my parents named me Romeo? Yeah, that's what he said. Why are you in this family that I'm not allowed to be? I misquoted it, in fairness. Oh, why are you in this family? Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo? Why are you, Romeo? Because I'm not allowed to talk to your family.

So why are you a Romeo? Yeah. Why is that? You're they're questioning. Like, why are you like, he's like, wait, is this to Romeo? Who's this? It's just like a Karen is Juliet. Maybe I'm wrong. I thought that that scene was, she's asking, I wish you weren't from this family. That's rivaling mine. Yeah. That's what I thought it meant. What if she broke it down like that? He would have, they wouldn't have both died. Did they die?

Yeah. Yeah. Well, that probably could have been solved maybe because they couldn't understand. Maybe because they're both speaking so ridiculous words that they then go, they go, do you sure you want to do this? That's what they're saying. But it's going like, I shall thou kill myself. And it's like, what did you mean? I didn't want to do it. And he goes, I didn't want to do it either. Why were we not just saying that?

Yeah. All right. That was fun. Scott Dunstan. Scott Dunstan.

I work at a preschool doing mostly maintenance, but still work with the kiddos at times. While fixing part of the fence on the playground, a few of the children wanted to watch, and I said, let's go, folks, thinking it was just going to be an inside joke to myself, but suddenly a parent picking up overheard and said, hey, Nateland, hello, folks, small world, good stuff, guys, keep them coming.

See, that's what I mean with let's go, folks. Like, it's, you know, like, there's no blend. Here's what I... We can be ready for the poll. Ooh. I think we're... It's about time. I think it's about time. We need to do it. This comes out Wednesday. We'll put the poll up Friday. And then we will... We record a podcast Friday? Mm-hmm. No, wait. Is that...

But that won't matter because that's not coming out. But the next one. But we're having a pre-record because I got to go out of town. I'm leaving Monday. Okay. All right. So maybe we should wait? No. No? Yeah, I don't know. We might have to wait. Well, we may. You can just wait to read the results. Yeah, but people don't want to wait. You know? Well, can't we just post it on social media? Yeah.

We will. Yeah, because we're going to post this. So you're listening to this on Wednesday. No, you know what? We'll put it out. This comes out on Wednesday. I say we put it out Thursday and then we will have the answers Friday because we got to record. We got an episode we got to record Friday that I'll just have come out Monday. Okay. And then so we'll give you the answers. So it's this week.

You know, if you don't want to do it, obviously a lot of you like Joe might be over this. I think a lot of comments have been at this point, we don't care. Just stop talking about it. Oh, we don't have to do the poll. No, no, no. Let's do the poll. Okay.

Let's see. It can be three. Like, here's what I think. I think it should be. Hello, folks. That's this. This we're in. Hello, folks. And if we see each other out in the wild, I think it's whatever you want. Hello, folks are let's go, folks. I think it's fun to like you can be let's go, folks. And you scream like that kind of thing. Like, you know, it's kind of it's it's it's both of them.

Hello folks is the response. Let's go, folks. Or maybe say I'm a hello folks person. I'm a let's go folks person. But we're all folks and we all get along. So hello folks only, let's go folks only, or hello folks slash let's go folks. Hello folks, let's go folks in the wild. Okay. Does people get that? I don't think I get it. Not in here, like when we're out and about. It's your own choice. Hello folks, let's go folks. Does that make sense? Mm-hmm.

That's basically what it is. I don't know if we have to do a poll. All right. We don't even have to do the poll. There's no reason for the poll. I think it's hello, folks, here. Moving forward. We're done. You can still in your comments, you want to write let's go, folks. That's funny. They're both funny things, but hello, folks, is how we will greet you, how we will start our day in the day land. All right. Let's read Joe's one more time. He's making a lot more sense.

David John, this is off topic, but Aaron Land inspired me to lose weight. I'm 5'8", shoe size 12 and a half. I'm 5'8", and weighed 182 pounds when I started intermittent fasting 10 weeks in, and I'm already down to 170. My goal is to lose a total of 50 pounds today.

All credit to Notre Dame. Dude's indirectly changing lives one folk at a time. I'll be honest with you, 5'8", 182, I don't know if you need to lose 50 pounds. It's tough to hear about a weight loss journey that starts at my dream weight. You know what I mean? But if he's not feeling comfortable and wants to feel like... 5'8", 132? I mean, this dude wants to be in shape. Yeah. Like this dude, that's like real shape.

Like, you see those UFC fighters. I mean, they're 150. You know, and they're, like, this dude wants to be in shape. So, I mean, I get it. Good for him, man. Like, I weigh 180. I weigh his. I weigh 182. And then I would love to get down to, I always say, like, I want to get down to, like, 165. I would love to. I mean, I hit the 70s. I'm always, like, 181, something like that. I fluctuate. Never weighed over 200, though.

That's my only thing. That was close. It's knocking on the door. It was around the corner. I'd have got lumped in with a 200 group. If we all had it, they just kind of were just eyeballing it. They would have been like, obviously, obviously. They would have pulled me in. Hunter Wyatt. I have a friend who struggles with words more than Nate. One time we were at a meeting preparing for a mission trip in Germany. In the meeting, he asked, do they have any erotic animals there? No.

Ming Das said they had exotic animals. This was one of his many word fails. That's a good one to fail on. Yeah, quite a few. Uh,

Jason Pratt. I run a large behavioral healthcare company and I've started using hello folks for every staff email. Instead of drawing out fellow Nate land enthusiasts, like I had hoped I received zero positive feedback and have been actually been spoken to by the board on multiple occasions. I'm sure it will be goodbye folks very soon, but I refuse to blink. That's so great. Thank you, Jason. Keep fighting the good fight. People don't, uh,

People don't like hello folks. Like in a professional... It is in a professional setting, I guess. It's kind of too... I'm trying to see if I can get it. I think it's the inflection. If you're like, hello, folks. They're like, what? Well, it's here. It's the fun joke of it. It's hello, folks. It's everything. But in that setting, if you're like, oh, this guy's the worst. You just judge...

who this guy is, but kind of that. Yeah. But then you don't know this guy's actually cooler than you. Might be. You know, somewhere he's talking to my neighbor Felix. There's a restaurant called My Neighbor Felix, by the way. But we just talked today because he said he got, when he was talking about it, he said he got, because he said he was chubby in junior high and he got made fun of. He grew up in New Orleans and he got made fun of. And he,

You know, their kids were mean to him. And I was like, man, that's crazy. And he was like...

He grew up with no money. I've met his family. His family's awesome. They've all done well for themselves now. They grew up with no money and stuff like that. And then he was like, I went to a private Catholic school where we got to go for free because we didn't have any money. And I'm like, oh, so you're the poor kid at a rich school and you're there for free? None of this, he didn't tell me why he's getting made fun of. You're like, yeah, dude, that's why you got crushed. Wow.

But he was saying he was wearing, because he'd wear Dickie pants and Brooks shoes, both very popular right now. Dickie pants are. The Brooks shoes, I didn't know. But Dickie pants are kind of cool now. Aren't they skateboarder-y kind of pants? They're like Walmart work clothes. They're like off-brand Carhartt kind of stuff. Yes, but you can wear it and it's cool now. But it's crazy to think that like,

If he showed up, if you wore Brooke's shoes, I guess, they're super cool now, and Dickie Pants anywhere to school, they'd be like, this kid gets it. And it's crazy to think, and he was... He was before his time. He was before his time. Wow. Yeah. I thought you were kidding about a restaurant being called My Neighbor Felix. This is My Neighbor Felix, Mexican kitchen and bar in Denver, Colorado. Yeah. No one's ever seen him. We'll go. Yeah. No one's ever, yeah. That's crazy.

It was good food. All right. We're going to talk about our... Is there any that you've... Let's do Doug's here, maybe? Yeah. All right. Maybe one more after that? Yeah. One, Nate Blair. Because that's... There's a Nate Blair. Yeah, we can do that one. Yeah. That's Laura's maiden name. Oh. Yeah, am I supposed to say that? Your wife's maiden name? Yeah. I get asked my mom's maiden name for security reasons. Yeah, but...

I mean, it might cause problems for Harper down the road. Oh, but I'm good. Yeah, you're fine. I'm fine. Obviously, I'm fine. That's like if you had taken her name when you got married. Yeah, this is the way it would be. My name would be Nate Blair. It's kind of like looking at an alternative reality. Aaron, have you ever considered voice acting if comedy doesn't work out? Aaron. Sure, I would do it. He can do some great voices. Maybe a couple. You can do voices? Yeah, but not celebrities, just people.

Like what? Like people that... Like if he was doing a character, he can do some really deep voices and some... Yeah. You don't want to do one? I can do like an impersonation of like a server at a comedy club. Well, how does they do it? Well, I don't... You don't know who they are. But just do a server at a comedy club. Sit there and go. Well, it's not like a generic...

It's a very specific guy. You wouldn't get it at all. Could you do your friend Citrus? You don't want to. No, I don't want that. I'd do a couple voices, but nothing crazy. Well, I don't know if your voice acting is going to work out. Is that how you're going to start every audition? I could do a couple of them. I would love to hear one. You're not going to know any of these people, so it doesn't really matter. Oh, okay. Well, this is an audition for voice acting. Yeah, yeah.

All right, so this one. Yeah, that's a good one. Doug Harris. I worked in the Vanderbilt ticket office during my summers at college and worked alongside Nate's mom every day. Carol was one of the nicest people I've ever been around. One day, the ticket office wanted to get lunch at Rio Bravo and volunteered me to go pick it up. When I got back, apparently Muhammad Ali had walked through the lobby of the athletic department. He was making a surprise visit to campus for some reason and

He walked right past the ticket office and stopped to say hello to everyone. So literally the best athlete in the history of the world decided to visit the one spot that I'm stuck at for eight hours a day and decided to do it during the 15-minute window that I decided to leave. When I got back, I was unpacking all of the food. Carol said, oh, hey, you just missed Muhammad Ali.

Yeah.

About a month later during lunch, I had this exact same scenario happen again while going to get Nate's mom's lunch. This time it was the Rock. Thanks, Carol. I brought my own lunch for a year after that, and not one famous person ever walked by. That's very funny. I remember when Muhammad Ali came. Because I was in high school, and then I graduated high school. My mom worked at Vanderbilt. People always ask why I'm a big Vanderbilt.

We have very ties to Vanderbilt. Ronnie Bargetze coached at Vanderbilt in the 70s, and then he was the color commentator. That's who you listen to. So my whole life, we had him, and then my mom worked in the ticket office for a while. So we'd always go to games. I was going to every game. I mean, I could, but then. Let's read the other suit. This is Kelly B. Van Leet.

That's a very bourgeois name. Van Lee. The Borga George. Kelly B. Van Lee. Well, does the B stand for Borga George? There's a school in Brentwood specifically for kids with dyslexia. Curry Ingram Academy.

They have a testing center on campus that typically tests kids, but maybe Nate should give them a call. My daughter is a student there. I look forward to laughing during Nate Land every week. Nate's dad was my middle school math teacher. I have great memories of him performing magic tricks at school. Everybody that listens to this podcast is basically just people I grew up with. But it is. They're all wonderful people. You know what's funny? I've seen Curry Ingram Academy.

And so, yeah, I wonder if they will. Maybe I can go there. Just run in there. Maybe I can run in there. And they just do tests for kids, but I'm sure. I think I have the brain of a child, so I think I'll just be walking in line with all the kids. I don't know what we do. We go and we're coming to the exit or something. Is that what we? How much does that joke got to get made there? Probably got to be a lot. Stephen Gremillion's pretty good. Okay.

Last one, right? My uncle once had my aunt, Stephen Grimillion.

My uncle once had my aunt bring home two half-gallon tubs of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream. Before she left, he started eating out of one. He ate the whole thing, then he got into the other one. About a third of the way through, he realized he was going to be in trouble, so he finished the second one and then went to the store and bought two more to replace them. But he knew she wouldn't believe he didn't eat any, so he had to eat another half of one just to make it look convincing. Shout out to Uncle Mike. Uncle Mike's my kind of guy. Yeah.

That's so funny. He knew he was too far in, so he just had to finish it off, go buy two more, and then dig into that one. Yeah, I mean, he just had to. I get it. I get that logic. You're like, all right, let me go buy more. And she's going to be like, you didn't eat any of this? And he's got to be like, well, she's going to know. Two Blue Bells. I think I could eat two.

Two gallons? Yeah. Well, those were half gallons. People come in, you guys are ridiculous. They're like, did y'all not learn anything from the Krispy Kreme challenge by what y'all claimed y'all could do? Yeah. No, I didn't. I learned I shouldn't have done chocolate. My buddy Doug is going to do the Krispy Kreme challenge on his own. He thinks he can do... Yeah, he's like... Because it's the same logic everybody starts with where they go...

He goes, dude, because he's like Doug's in a very, he's Doug's who made the music that plays at the beginning of every episode. And he's very in shape. We golf a lot together. And then he's so he's like, oh, when I go by Krispy Kreme, he's like, he says he could eat nine without a problem, like easy. But that's what everybody says. And I think everybody thinks they do more. But if you sit there and have to do it, it's like, yeah, I mean, could we eat 13 throughout the day? Yes.

Could you? It's not that you're full. It's the sugar. Yeah. The sugar content, it just gets to you. It gets too much. I don't think the sugar got to me. I think it was just the sheer volume of donut. Oh, okay. Sugar got to me. That was the chocolate that was all on top of it. But ice cream, I think I could do. So maybe we'll do ice cream. I think I could be a problem. Sugar won't get to him with the ice cream. No, I think I could do. I'd still do chocolate ice cream. Yeah. I think I can just eat. I think I can just keep eating. I could eat.

A gallon? I think it wouldn't even be a problem. I think that too. Yeah. I don't think it's that much. Yeah. If you get a big spoon, that helps. A little spoon would get it tiring and annoying, but a big one. Speaking of Doug, so I was going to say a couple of my things, and we mentioned what you guys have been up to too. Just to catch up, this is the catch-up portion of the podcast. Yeah.

So I had Doug's birthday was just talking to him. We golfed together and, and tied my lowest round I've ever had. And we were, it was on Doug's birthday and we played and, uh, I was going into 16. I'm two under 16. Whoa. Two birdies and a rest of pars. And I'm like, this is about to happen. Yeah. And so we, then we catch this group. That's the slowest group I've ever seen in my life.

and they just were driving. I mean, they were going backwards. They were looking for every ball. Every ball went out of bounds. And we've already been kind of catching them for a while, but now when you get to 16, you're kind of past the point of passing them.

And so it's like I messed up on 16. It was par 3, just hit it in the fringe. I putted off from the fringe to the green. It wasn't a hard thing, but it was faster than I thought. Three putted, bogey, 16. So I'm one under going to 17. 17 and 18 are both par 5s. This is Vanderbilt South course. And so I play. I bogey 17.

Now I'm even. And then I par 18, so I shot even par, 71. I've done that one other time. But I've wanted to be 200. You want to say you shot in the 60s? And I was like, this can happen. And I was like, if I just par out, like, I don't have to do anything hero. But it's like, man, when you're waiting on a group and all you're thinking about is like, I'm almost there. If I just don't mess up. They iced you. Oh, it crushed us. It crushed us.

So, but it was fun. That's great. But it was, it was a fun thing. Uh,

Also, I did shows through this jacket. I was with Jeff Foxworthy. I don't know. I'm reading it like I was with... That's his name, Jeff Foxworthy. Jeffrey Foxworthy? Jeff Foxworthy. And Jeff Foxworthy, we did our shows together. We had the best time. Just such a fun hang. Dude, we hung out so much. It was Justin Smith, who I know y'all see a lot on the road with me. Me, Justin, Travis.

I tour manager Travis. You can follow Travis on Instagram. I'll post something. He's starting to post some, uh, pictures on his page, like behind the scenes stuff or whatever. That's cool. Uh, and then, uh, and then, uh, Jeff and Jeff's,

Jeff's buddy. And we all like rode together. We drove from Lincoln, Nebraska. We drove to Lincoln, Nebraska. We stayed in Omaha and then drove to Sioux Falls. And we were just in the car for a lot, long times, which is just with comics is the greatest. Just talking comedy. Like just it's, it's the, it's, I mean, it's the, it's the funnest man. It's something that you wish you could, you know, I guess you do, you know,

we're kind of recreating it here, I guess a little bit. It's like this, just trying to make jokes and like trying to be fun. And like, so it's a, it's a little bit of, it's, it's kind of like this, but it's just, it's just awesome. And he's like such a great dude. And, uh, we did, uh, two shows and I mean, they were just great shows. Everybody came out. It was awesome. And it, I mean, it was fun. It was, uh, a ton of fun. I bet he's got some incredible stories.

Yeah, I mean, dude, he's been around. I mean, he's done comedy, I think he said 37, I want to say 37 years. Was it 37? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, something like that. 38 years. It's like 20 years above me. Yeah. And I'm an 18.

So it's been around for he's been around for just so long. And he's done I mean, in such a I mean, an icon, you know, yeah, like just that name Foxworthy is just such a perfect name. And it's you just kind of, yeah, you just know him. And I mean, he's just a fun, fun guy.

I truly, truly had a lot of fun. That's great. So it was great. Was that your first time co-headlining something with him? Yeah. I mean, you look at it like co-headlining, but I looked at it as also like I'm doing a show with him. Yeah. You know, it's like always weird where you're like, well, doing it with Fox, right? It's like kind of still his. Yeah. I went last the first night. Oh, really? But he was, because he, I mean, I was like, I'll go first both nights. Mm-hmm.

because you usually ask when you co-headline. And I think if you're in the same years or if it's one of your peers and the fact that you kind of came up together, you would probably just be like, I'll go first. One night, you go first. That's what me and Keith Albertstein would do when we would co-headline in Nashville. And with Foxworthy, I was just like, yeah, you got to go. Defer to him. Yeah, you're like, you can do whatever you want. He said he kept making fun because he'll come do the podcast.

And so he kept, him and Justin kept, you know, he was like, I don't know why I can't. Foxworthy was like, I don't know. You know, Justin, did you get invited to the podcast? We'll have Justin on. We're going to talk about Oklahoma and then Foxworthy. I wanted, I was like, come, if he wants to, if he comes here, I want him to do it. I'd like to do it here. So, so he'll, if he comes to Nashville, he'll,

He'll come by. That'd be awesome. But he's a great hang. Great stories. Very funny stories. And so I'll probably, yeah, if he comes on, we'll have him tell some, like his, you know, I don't know, some great like comedy stories of just like working clubs back in the heyday of comedy and stuff, you know, 80s and that whole scene. So, yeah, it was fun. Henry Cho told me a story about they shared a condo back in the 80s and it didn't have a door. I've heard.

Oh, really? It was so bad. It literally did not have a door. A front door? Yeah. That's what he said. A front door was missing. Yeah. That's crazy. How did you? Yeah. I don't know. We'll have to ask about that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I would love to know that. And then you guys, y'all did some stuff. Yeah. Do you want to set up how this came about? Yeah. Yeah.

So, well, what do we, do we have that clip? Do you have that clip to play? Yeah, I do. Let me play that just so I can be done. I do have. I also got sent this. This was very, very, my sister's the one that told me about this. So if you listen to this, you can play. It's on Heart to Heart, Kevin Hart and Jay Leno. Who is Jay Leno's top three? Give me a top three. Top three come in? Well, I like, you know, I do like, I do like Owen.

I mean, Seinfeld and I go way back. Seinfeld is fun. Amazing. You're terrific. Thank you. I like John Mulaney. He's great. This new guy, Nate Bogatsi, he's really good. He's really good. Wow. Yeah. Top three. That's pretty awesome to be named by Jay Leno. Yeah. So it's crazy. It's Jay, like,

uh it was very very nice and very cool and uh you know i didn't know i'm not interested in this too yesterday but it's so he but jay i've i've met jay before and then uh jay has called me he called me after this last special uh and was very very nice and just talked and like just saying how much you liked and stuff and that i mean that's like he's hanging out with foxworthy like leno it's like these are the guys that you're like it's crazy to

get to see it. I mean, even like Kevin Hart, I've met Kevin Hart maybe twice, but even like, you know, him just being like, Oh yeah, I know that. You're like, I didn't know, you know, you do think that you're like, I don't know. You know, I thought of that. Look, I thought of it like this. Uh,

I did think about this this weekend. You remember the tennis girl, that mental health, she checked out for mental health? Naomi. This is a topical. Naomi Osaka? Yeah. Yeah. Is that her name? Yeah, yeah. Right? And then everybody was like, I get it. You're kind of like, then she had a Netflix TV show. She had all this other stuff. And I get people being like, what are you talking about? You're checking out for mental health.

And then I just heard her say something. She goes, when I did that, I didn't think it was going to become as big of a deal as it was. And I do kind of get that. Obviously not on the level where she's known and stuff. But I do get, for her, she is like, I don't know how powerful what I say is. Because to that person, you only live in your world. So you're like, I don't know what other people... Unless you were...

Unless you're like the Beatles or something, you would have no idea that you could be. Not in the comparison. I never thought of it that way until I heard her say that. And I was like, I get that. Because you could just think, it's like when I do shows and you go out and you think,

Who are these people here to see? Because it's hard for you to think it's you. Because you just know where you come from. So you go, well, I can't make it. Like, I'm not... You always have that in your head. And so you're like, no, this is not going to work out. You don't ever think, oh, I'm great at this. And I'm going to be... And I'm the best. Like, I can make it because I'm the greatest at this. Now, you could strive. You want to be that. You can do that. But you don't... It's hard to ever...

take yourself out of like to even see what your worth would be and so i like when she said that i actually kind of made sense i was like yeah she's like i'm just a kid playing tennis like i don't right right i just said that i didn't think it was and it's like it was on everything that's ever been made yeah and she could be like yeah i didn't know because she i mean she says you guys i think uh yeah i probably made some mistakes i've learned all right i can't that's how she learned i guess i can't say just anything yeah because it's going to get kind of

I didn't know I had that kind of power, you know? And I don't know. Especially you blow up that fast. It, she was catching up to her fame. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it just, when she said it that way, I don't know. It just struck me where I was like, Oh yeah. Yeah. Like it's hard for people to think that. Cause then at home you're like, but you're famous and ball, you know,

and not me, but like saying about her, like you're famous. You're going to say mental health, like, you know, you're famous, you know, you know, but to her, she was like, I, I don't know that I'm famous. Like, I don't, you know, cause she's like, I still see Serena Williams and I'm like, God, can you like, she's famous. Right. Like, who am I? Like, that's fame. That's, you know, so like they, you see it with those ways. So like seeing that kind of stuff too, like you've seen those still Jay Leno, you're like, it's Jay Leno. It's crazy. Yeah. It's, it's, it's, it's insane. Uh,

So I am the, what's her name? Naomi. Osaka. Is that it? Osaka. I think I'm the name was of comedy. Yeah. That's basically what I was getting around to. I was hoping you guys were going to pick it up and say it for me, but you did it. So I'll just have to say it.

You have mental health issues. I do. I'm taking a long mental break. I still work. That's what I'm going to say. I take a mental break, and they go, oh, that's good for you. No, I'm still going to work. I just mentally am not there when I'm doing it, and it shows. So you guys, so Greg Garcia, who we've talked about on this show as well a lot, is a created everybody –

My name is Earl. Everybody loves Raymond. He would like that. Raising hope. He created Seinfeld. Keep going. Raising hope. Everybody hates Chris. Everybody hates Chris. Family guy, I believe. All in the family. I think he's all the voices on Family Guy, but I could be wrong on that. Maybe he's just some of the voices.

All in the family. He's been around for a long time. Greg Garcia is very, I told you about it. He worked at Burger King, which is very funny. Did I say that? I don't know. I don't have to. He's going to, I'll get him. He drives. He's someone that just drives across the country. Basically, most of his life is driving across the country.

like his kids are all kind of some are living other places and and he'll just i mean he likes driving he'll just be i'll just drive like and you're like just take a flight dude just fly and be you know regular and he goes i am regular i'm just gonna drive leave at four in the morning and like you know have a 15 hour drive uh but so greg is uh he's got a new tv show that he's uh

wrote and he wrote it and I read it I read the script when he first wrote it I mean Greg's one of the

talented writers I've ever seen. And I've not seen a lot, so there's maybe a bunch more out there. And Greg could be actually not good at all. And I could be like, wow. Greg's actually... So just be ready that I could come back with this and go on. Guys, I'll be honest with you. Greg, not as good as I thought. Had no idea what he was doing. Had no idea, yeah. Had not a clue. But Greg Garcia is also how I met Tony Kornheiser, which is one of my...

fondest moments I've had in my career. Another one where Tony came to the show and mentioned it on PTI. Shouted you out on the show. Shouted on PTI. Tony's coming to the show when I come to DC. So, cause Greg worked on Tony Kornheiser's show. Oh. And then when he comes on, his career was pretty cool. But, so Greg got a new show.

And so he, he texts me and then I meet him, talk a bunch. And then he, uh, had you guys come out and you guys will be on the new show, the new show, unless we, we get cut out of it. Yeah. Yeah. But we were there for, uh, you were there for three days.

Three days? Yeah. Wow. I was there for two days. They filmed in Pittsburgh. The show's called Sprung. Yeah. You play... I play... It's about a guy who gets out of prison. So I play a prison guard. Yeah.

At the prison. And Brian plays... A serial killer. Yeah. Not just a serial killer. I wear a Hannibal Lecter mask. I'm already being typecast. I've never even been in a show. I have the picture. You want me to pull it up? Yeah, go ahead and pull it up. This is the scene. This is the...

So Greg just wanted, I wasn't even originally in the scene. Greg was like, we got to get you in this scene next to Brian. Do you have a COVID mask over your Hannibal Lecter thing? No, that's what the mask looks like. Yeah. He's got a, we can see a better picture.

Like this is me and Brian right here. That's what Brian's. So he made it look like a sleep apnea machine. It looks like you got a permanent sleep apnea machine on your face. There were a lot of things that were like, is this a, like a little wink toward the podcast? Oh yeah. I mean, he had a line where he said, folks, I say folks in my line. And then I get there the first day and on the official call sheet, you get all this paperwork and on the call sheet,

They have Brian named as breakfast on the call sheet. So it's like Aaron Weber, blah, blah, blah, breakfast.

on there so it was really really cool man i was so nervous um he was done shooting before i even got out of bed the first morning yeah oh really i mean he was back by 9 30 my call time was 5 30 on on monday yeah and then i was gonna say my scene that i take was the first scene of the whole show that they filmed oh really in my scene i have like three lines and there's two other lines so i'm kind of

you're like a prominent player in that scene and it's the first thing they filmed the whole time and i've never been in anything yeah and i remember just being like oh man we're doing this yeah oh my god here we go dude and uh the weird thing about acting you want to pull greg decided to go greg i don't know how to do this oh i almost did yeah yeah because we did it i mean we do it a ton of times yeah and you just have no i was like i have no idea if i'm bombing

Yeah. Cause nobody tells you like, you don't hear laughs or anything. So I just thought they were back there like, dude, we made a huge mistake bringing this guy out. But then I talked to Greg afterwards. I was like, I hope that was okay. He goes, dude, I would have told you it was awful. Awful. Greg's that. Yeah. I would have been like, we need to fix it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I felt good. That's why Greg's great. It's like Greg on our pilot helped a ton. Uh,

with Danielle Sanchez Witzel who show ran our pilot and she was into, she brought Greg in. It was funny the first time I met Greg, she brings Greg. I don't really know Greg. I didn't know everything. Um,

and uh i don't look into a lot of things so like greg like he like comes in like tell me stuff i'm like this guy who's this guy i think he is uh you know he's like giving us he basically rewrote the script and then then you read his script and you're like it's all pretty great actually like you're like this is actually unbelievable like you i was just seeing that you're i mean i really went in i was like nice to meet you and he's like he's gonna sit in with us i was like all

All right, dude. We'll maybe sit towards the back if you don't mind. And then he just comes in. He goes, what if we do this all different? And you're like, okay. And then everything we were trying to do, our episode was about spanking. And we're like, we might show the spanking or something. Has it ever been shown on TV? He's like, yeah, I did it.

I think Raising Hope or something. And you're like, he's done everything. Like where he's done, you know, Guest Book, which is on streaming as well as on TBS. And so, but yeah, he's that guy that would in the moment tell you, yo, this is, you know, you all right? So once, yeah, once he said that, I felt a lot better about it. But it was just so nerve wracking. And I think I was telling Brian this is,

it's my, it's me being naive, but I had no idea what I was walking into. I'd never been on a big TV production before. So I was overwhelmed by the scale of it. Yeah. Of just, it's like a whole college campus. There are different trailers, makeup. We had our own trailers. You had your own trailer? Brian and I. It was my inmate Larry. Yeah. Inmate Larry. Yeah.

There's another shot of the trailers up there. Yeah. You know, I'd done smaller stuff that I thought was a large production, but obviously nothing compared to what this was. I mean, the scene I'm in, there's like 50 extras in it. Yeah. And there's like 100 people standing around the crew and everything. And I was like, oh, man, here we go. Yeah. Time to play ball. Tell them about the gun. Oh. Which gun? The one that...

you got in trouble for. Oh, can I say that? Oh, I don't know. Maybe... Yeah, I don't know. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I had a pistol. Yeah. And an extra, this dude just walks up. He's like, hey, man, let me get a pic with that gun, bro. Yeah. Because there's a sign in the prison that says no firearms. We're in a real prison. Yeah. Oh, really? I mean, an old prison. Yeah. I think it's been closed for like 10 years, they said. Yeah. But this extra walked up to me because there's so much... That's the other thing I didn't know about. There's so much just...

killing time. Yeah. Like standing around and they got to reset the camera. So I'm talking to the extras and they all had their own backstories of why they were in prison, which was really fun. You know, they're just extras like, yeah, I killed somebody. Yeah. But this guy was like, let me get a picture of the gun in front of this no firearm sign. I was like, all right. So I just give it to him. And immediately somebody comes over and is like, what are you doing? And I go, oh, dude, my bad. Like, yeah, you can't just...

hand out guns even if it's a fake gun yeah like this is a serious problem yeah i was like oh dude my bad so then uh they immediately took it away from me yeah yeah but then they gave then the next day i came back and i gave me this gun so you know i didn't lose my gun privileges totally but they got rid of that pistol they give you a one that's like well if he's gonna kill us might as well kill us all quick yeah uh they're uh yeah i mean what who died uh

Brandon Crowe or there was a famous guy that died. It was a real gun. Oh, Bruce Lee's son? Yeah, Bruce Lee's son. Or was it the movie Crowe? It was the movie Crowe? Oh, he thought it was a prop gun? Yeah, yeah. And he died. Bruce Lee's son. Wow. And then, so yeah, I think they're very, like that's still, you know, just because it's insane. And then there's someone probably in charge of that that's just watching you

Do it. Yeah. So he was done. Then I just had to wait. So I just got kind of more nervous just waiting. And the first day there, I'm in my trailer and just filling out some paperwork or something. There's a knock on the door. And I come in and it was Greg. And he was so nice. Yeah. And it just flipped then. It put me at total ease once I talked to him. By day two, I was a diva. I mean, I went coming out of my trailer. Greg, can I talk to you for a second? Greg? My character would not say it like that. Yeah. Yeah.

Greg, you want to be like, what if I, do you think I'd get a hat, no mask? I told the extras, don't look at me. I did one guy, because I'm in those shackles and that mask and it's so hot. And he said, I'll take these off of you in between shoots unless you just want to stay in character. And I was like, I don't even want you to call me Brian while I'm on set. You growled at him. Yeah.

So that scene was so much fun. We had to stop once because Aaron was laughing. I felt like so unprofessional. I was the only one that was crap. I mean, it was so funny, the scene that we were in, that I messed up a couple takes. And Greg came out and was like, I don't need to tell you what you did, right? I was dying laughing. He goes, I'll take it as a compliment, but tighten up. I was like, okay. Yeah.

Oh, that's good. Because I could see Brian. Brian does a physical act out in that scene. I could see in my peripheral vision. I was supposed to just be standing there. I was like, this is insane. And all the actors are so good. They're like nailing everything. They're not breaking. I just felt like, what am I doing? And then the next day, I had a scene where I had to start the scene, which was different than the day before because I didn't know when. And they're seeing him in my cage and the main character sweeping in front of me. And Greg goes, action. And I just sit there.

And then after about five seconds, cut. He's like, Brian, when I say action, you go ahead and start talking. I was like, oh, okay, okay. Yeah. Oh, my God. I knew that.

Greg didn't know what he was signing up for. And then Greg threw me some lines to say. I memorized my lines over and over and over. He's like, hey, how about after we nail those, then say this and then say this. So that was nerve-wracking to me. Like, oh gosh, what did he just say I had to say? But I think I nailed it. Yeah, it's tough. I remember when we were...

And just when our thing, like they'd come and throw you a joke and you'd have all these lines, you have all memorized. And it's when you're actually shooting, you're like, all this can be go away immediately. You're like, I don't like that line. It's weird coming out of your mouth.

like whatever it is like it just doesn't feel right or like it's not you know it was a very funny line i thought and then you're just they're like change it let's do something and that's hard because you're yeah you're like yo dude i don't know how to do this and i'm and i'm just trying to do it so you had like three lines yeah like we did it the well i had two lines for the show but then that second line he told me to do it three different ways yeah

So Brian taped a couple different episodes for season one. Two episodes. Oh, you're reoccurring. Yeah. I'm a reoccurring character. You're just one and done. Yeah. You just got in. Yeah. But you're an extra in another one. And then I'm an extra. Greg put me as an extra in Brian's scenes too so we could be standing there together. Oh, that's... I didn't say anything in those. Yeah. And Josh... He already saw. He'd seen enough. Yeah, he goes... Josh Wolfe, another Nashville Comics Senate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Greg, everybody's... Yeah, we had things... There's Josh and...

Joey Diaz, he was in it. Josh played a... An inmate. Yeah, but he did bad things to kids. Oh. That's what his character did. Oh, God, not Josh. No. The joke would have been, he'd go, well, what's his character do? Josh is like the nicest dude. But it was so much fun. There's another on the scene. That's what it looks like on the camera.

but everyone was so nice and we had a blast. Yeah. Well, the tone is set. That's what is great. You know, Greg is that it's the professional way of like, when he comes to you and goes, look, I get, I take it as a compliment. It's a funny scene. There's a part of him that is like, I'm doing, I'm glad that you're laughing. Yeah. But then like, just to be like, but let's tighten it up. We, we have a, we're trying to run a show. Yeah. We're trying to do this. And like, I, so that's what he brings is like, uh,

you know, like I'm sure if, if it gets crazy, then it gets crazy. But there's like, I mean, they, the, the tone of him is, is how all of this gets done. Yeah. And then how, what they get out of everybody to let everybody know. Cause he's got to let everybody be like, no man, you can do it. You're, you're great at this dude. This is, you know, it's like that kind of stuff. Yeah. That's awesome, man. He was, there's Aaron in the zone right there. Yeah. Oh man. Yeah.

We weren't intermittent fasting then, were we? That was within my feeding window. Yeah. This was your feed. Aaron was on point. He had his A game going. It's me at craft services. No, Greg was so nice. I think he has hundreds of people and so many. And then to take time for us, he was just great. Yeah, it was awesome, man. So thank you, Greg, for letting us be a part of it. Yeah, we will keep all of you updated.

When that comes out, we'll let you know so we can all watch the show. Can't wait to see it. Yeah, me too. The scene was so funny, and the script was funny. The script's very funny. I think it'll be great. Yeah, it's great. It's a great idea. And we were on the first three days of the shoot of 51 days, they said. Yeah. So they're going to be there a while. Wow. Yeah, when he sent me the script, I saw it before he, very early.

And it was like, oh, you're going to sell this. Like, this is, it was such a good idea. And it was, the script was so good. And then, I mean, look, it's crazy to see, like, he, I mean, it was like right when kind of COVID started. And then, like, he's already filming. Yeah. It's crazy. Yeah.

Yeah. Pretty wild. That's fun. All right, we're about to be done. And then you taped Howie Mandel's comedy All-Stars? I did Howie Mandel All-Star Scene of Spectacular. It's going to be on the CW.

I don't know when it comes out. Yeah. But the lineup was like crazy. It's like this. I was like, I can't believe I'm here. Yeah. It was like Ryan Hamilton, Natasha Leggero, Patton Oswalt, all these guys on it, and then just me. Yeah. So it was a lot of fun. That's great. And I went right from there to Pittsburgh. So it's been a crazy...

Crazy week. Real Hollywood. I know. We both had some nice Hollywood weekend. Everyone's like, you sticking around? I was like, nah, I got to... I got to shoot something. I got to shoot a TV show. That's the... That's all you want, I think, in Hollywood is all you want to go. I'm, you know, that's where it's all about

I would always say that about some of the times in the comedy, like the New York comedy scene was so great about is you'd be like, and maybe it could be just the beginning of your career, but you just would talk about your jokes. Like you'd be like, you got anything going? You're like, I got a couple of new jokes, but that's about it. Like, and it only meant jokes. And you were just like, I need some new stuff. I feel like I'm doing only doing old stuff. And,

And you get to L.A. and it's all like, what do you got going on? You know, someone's like, well, I'm writing this TV show. I'm writing it. Like, it's all this kind of like job stuff. And I remember you're like, that's no fun. Like, that's not, you know, it was fun just to talk about the jokes, like being funny. I'm just asking how you're doing, man. Yeah, yeah. L.A.'s all about that. But that's and so that's that's the perfect weekend you can have there when you get to do that. And then you go, where are you going to go on Pittsburgh? Yeah.

You either want to be going on the road or you want to be – I mean, doing that's even bigger when you go, I'm shooting Greg Garcia's new – he's got a new TV show. And you're like, oh, wow. And you're going to Pittsburgh. Yeah, it's like two days. Two-day shoot or something like that. I don't know. I think I'm really tired. You just kind of play into it. It's pretty routine at this point. Yeah, whatever it is.

I went from Pittsburgh to... You flying first class? I'm driving. Greg didn't pay for any of that, so he gave me $40 gas money. So I just put... I don't fill it up. I just keep the...

Our hotel room, he had the handicap room, which I'm like, did Greg do that too? Everything I wondered, like, was Greg behind this? You just don't know. This show's going to suffer just because he tried to make y'all's weekend just so, like, just too perfect. And they're like, these scenes are not great. He's like, dude, I've been overwhelmed with just breakfast this morning and then –

Aaron got here. And so, I mean, that's just been all day long. I had audition Uber drivers that I had on use.

All right. I went straight from Pittsburgh to Guttys Comedy Club. Oh, yes. In Greenwood, Indiana. Had a great weekend there. Great club. Sold out Saturday night. Whoa. There you go. I was the first one to sell out the new club. Awesome. Oh, wow. And it's a former Joseph A. Banks. So your green room is just like a fitting room. Yeah. So if you want to be left alone, you just take the curtain. But it's a great club. And a lot of folks came out. There's a comedy club in Providence, Rhode Island.

that I've been to a bunch, uh, I'm thinking I'm blanking on the name, but, uh, and I know those guys, I don't know why it's, uh, but it's, uh, Google the province from Rhode Island comedy club, uh, comedy connection, comedy connection. Yeah. Yeah. And then, uh, so in it's, uh, it's a bank vault, it's an old bank. And so the, your green room is the vault, the vault. That's fine. That's what made me think of that. Uh, but, uh, yeah. Comedy connection. Yeah. Great, great club. Uh,

So you had a big Hollywood weekend. Sold out show, you know? What'd you do? Friday, Saturday? Yep. Oh, wow. A lot of folks came. Yeah? Yeah. They came up and said afterwards? Yeah, Friday night's crowd was small, but I bet half of them were folks. Yeah, yeah. And Saturday night, there was a lot too. Yeah, yeah. Look at that. You guys are going out and supporting. That's awesome. I'm there in November. November 5th and 6th. I'm at Gunny's. So if you couldn't make it to Brian's...

But September 7th, next Tuesday, I'm making my Grand Ole Opry debut. So make sure you're about that. That's awesome, man. That's cool. Grand Ole Opry. And then you're doing that, and then your first pitch. So I'm going to throw out the first pitch, and then I'm going to try to run over to the Opry afterwards. Have you got your plan? What's your plan? Oh.

Somebody suggested, and I won't do it because it wasn't my idea, but somebody suggested immediately walk over to the ump and undo my belt and take my hat off like I'm being tested. That's a great idea. John Chris did it. He threw out the first pitch. He made a funny video about it. I got to think of something unique to do. Yeah. We'll figure it out.

Did they want you to be unique? Probably not. Yeah. Did he sell it over the rooster's head? He did. And then he, did you see the video that he put out? I didn't know if that was on purpose or he really missed. Well, he probably will say it's on purpose, but I've seen him throw a baseball before. So he was probably trying to throw a strike. Okay. Yeah. I bet it was on. Yeah. Yeah. I thought it was on purpose. All right.

So that's it. Yeah. This is comments and what did we say? Catching up. Catching up. Catching up. Yeah, Tony Finau won also. And did you see his after round meal? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
