Hello, folks. Welcome to Nate Land. Always glad to have you sitting with Brian Bates. Back is Aaron Webber. All right, everybody. We're back. This is like you're about to be getting a bunch of, not a bunch, but some podcasts that are going to be just, we have to pre-record some. I mean, I don't think I'm home till November. And this is, what is today? This is coming out. On the 13th. October 13th, me and my wife's anniversary.

Wednesday, 13. Congrats. How many years? Too many. No. 16. 2006. So what is that? No, 15. 15. Yeah. Is that a big one? Is that a one that's like a limestone? No, I think 20 is the big one. 10 is big. 5 is kind of like, all right, we're still. She just told me 15 was big. Is it? No, she didn't. We're not even doing anything. Oh. She'll be lucky if I see her. Walked by her.

Pat her on the booty and say, happy anniversary and kind of walk on my way and head out to the golf course. Give her a little slap. Good game. Good game out there. We've been doing pretty solid for these 15 years.

Yeah, we'll be together, actually, because they're coming on the road with me. Fall break. Usually, we're not together. We actually will be together. But you're working the whole time. We just always end up doing something later. So I'll just plan for something later. I think 20 or 20-year, we're kind of going to try to take a really big trip or something. But yeah, 15, we've always just worked, man. It's always been busy. We do stuff.

I'll do something. You know, I'll do something. Kind of think about it right now. I'll do something. Yeah. You know? Yeah. I'll buy a rose at a Kroger and just go. Sitting hard to pick it up? Yeah. Just be like, you should be getting some from Publix soon. Two roses.

It's a Valentine's Day candy. Happy anniversary. Card that says happy anniversary. You write on it. After 15 years, you're like, I can't believe we made it this far. We love each other. It's the same. That's what marriage ends up coming. You should write for Hallmark. I know. Well, we're here doing it. 15-year card should just be, hey, we're still here. The fact that we love each other still is enough.

She, I actually am good at writing cards out. That's my one thing I am good at. I'll write like a- You write your own cards. I'll have a card. I don't really, I don't even care. Sometimes I'll buy a funny card and I'll write like a very sweet message, but I'm really good at writing sweet messages. She's the, she just buys the card and says, no, they're saying everything that I want to say.

And I'm like, but you didn't write anything. I think it was the King of Queens about that. Or he had an old joke about that or something. He had a bit in Sweat the Small Stuff about men and women. I don't think the card, I don't, like, it's like, I think it's got to come from you. You taking the opposite position he took in the special. Like, almost give me a blank card. Yeah. If I'm, that's why I could buy one that's like, it could say, it's like, you're my favorite aunt. Yeah.

I think I've done that before. It's like, that's funny. Yeah, that is funny. And then you write a very sweet thing in there. Yeah, because it's not really you saying it. If you just hand the card, it's someone else. Yeah, it's like they're going to, I picked it out. I mean, I think this is his old routine. Oh, it is? I don't know. I think so. But it's like, yeah, it's the idea that they picked it. It's like, yeah, but I chose that one for you, and I write something in.

We have a lot of stuff. I think it's like we're kind of switch roles of... She's very husband-like and I'm very wife-like. Could be my legs. By the way, I got trashed by my legs. In that picture you posted? I mean, everybody. I think the picture was... It's a beautiful picture and it just looks...

not as uh flattering well it was done one of those uh angles uh yeah yeah somebody compared him to minute bull yeah that's why he wore those big socks yeah the angle wasn't just because it wasn't about the legs yeah it was about the the theater everybody ignored the theater yeah everybody's where was this taken i don't see i can't see past your legs it was uh

I, you know, I think my legs are not as bad as I think they think, but I got made fun of Jay color. When I took the picture of color, people were like, well, there's legs. Yeah, no, we all got trashed on that. Yeah. Cause we all look pretty silly standing next to. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think, uh, I don't know. I, I, I want to work my legs out now.

So I'm going to try to start doing that. I'll see. But your last special, you complained that that's all you do is legs. And now it's like, well, now you know why. Yeah. Yeah. I've been lying to you. He does do legs a lot. But I even said, well, I guess we got to do more. Yeah, there it is. It's just like a knot. Your shoes look giant. That's what we have is the bargettes. Our stomach goes out. Then we got little legs. Big feet. Well, now we've covered the feet. That's nine and a half feet.

Looks bigger. That's an awesome looking theater, though. Yeah. Is that a good show? Yeah, yeah. The show is amazing. Where is that? West Palm Beach. They're the strictest on COVID. It's kind of funny. Really? In Florida? Yeah. I mean, everybody else has been like, there's whatever the venues. I don't make these rules up, you know. But they always, you have to do, usually it's like a show of vaccine card or like a COVID test.

And some places are like kind of whatever. And some are a little... Obviously, the places you think would be. In Florida, you just wouldn't think. I was like, I thought it was like free. And then Jacksonville was cool. I mean, Jacksonville, we only let people in that had COVID. And...

And then... You had to show a positive test. Do you have it? Proof of COVID. No, I don't think I've never had it. And they go, I guess you're never coming to this show tonight, are you? And then we got them out of there. And I was a part of that. I'd decide, I'd go, get out of here right now. I'd walk out. But then West Palm was like, I think it was their first show back. And they were... I mean, going to the backstage was like, yeah, everybody had to do a... I had to...

I had the mask on. I had the mask on until I walked out on the stage. And you were in like a big room. Like none of us are near each other. It was an enormous stage. There was four people back there. It was just very funny to be like, all right, we'll wear a mask and then we go sit in a bus for 14 hours together. But, you know, it's a tough thing right now.

We'll get through it, and then we'll do the smallpox. Bring that back. Yeah. So, yeah, that was great. I played Sawgrass this weekend. Big, big course. I got to play with Paul and Reed Joyner. Reed is 11 years old, and I lost 40 bucks to him, and he beat me. How old is he? 11. Wow. He's a really good golfer.

And that's the hole. That's the famous hole. I've seen that a bunch. The famous hole. So I got asked a lot what happened on it. I think I posted it if people saw it. But I hit a little nine iron. I had a little wind. Did a great shot right over the flag. I mean, I thought I was like, oh, man, this is going to be super close. A little long.

but the wind was in there, so I probably should have pitched a wedge, but I don't want to be short. And so I was in the kind of the back spot, which the famous thing is better than most with Tiger Woods, better than most, better than most. And I was kind of around there. My flag was in the middle. His flag was always in the front and I three put it. So that was the only difference.

Mine was, yeah, he was like, it's about average, about what everybody does. That would have been what he said. For Tiger, it was better than most. Mine was like, this is routine here. Three putt from there, I'm going to lift out on. But I played terrible. I was on like three hours of sleep. Shot 91, which is not good. I was hoping to break. I'm just going through some swing issues. Looks like an awesome course, though, man. Swing changes. And I got help with Chris Como.

which Chris Como is Bryson DeChambeau's guy right now, Jason Day's guy, and he did Tiger Woods, and he did me and my brother. It was pretty special. And now you. And now me, me and Derek Bargetzi. It was a special trip because it was that Boyd Summerhays, too, that commented on this. He's a big coach. He does female. His son is unreal. His son's a great, great golfer.

And then Boyd is, you know. But Como's like just such a big deal, dude. I mean, a lot of people are not going to think this is crazy, but it is the craziest that we got to talk to him and me and Derek. And it's special just to get to do with Derek. Yeah. We played Sawgrass, and then we got a lesson with him. That's awesome, man. And then like so just working on some trying to get that swing down.

It's like you can feel it where you're like, you know there's a swing that gets consistent. That's the hard part about golf is you start hitting some good shots and you're like, well, there's a way to figure this out and then I don't have to think about this anymore. And it's just naturally there. And I'm just there. Like where you end up being like someone wants to be, people always ask my handicap. I'm a three at my course. I'm probably a five at most other courses.

but you want to be a five, but you want to get to like a plus two. And you're like, well, how do I, you know, how do I do it? Is that consistent? I mean, it's chipping and putting, but I know you got to get that swing down. And when you hit it right, it's like amazing. So we'll see either that or I'll throw my clubs away, but I still like where it's going. It was a fun. Yeah. It was a fun. Try to think about it again. We met a lot of people. So let's go folks. Jacksonville. Unbelievable. Yeah.

I almost, I mean, we did the show there. I would shoot a special there.

I almost wish I would have known how good it was going to be and how that theater was. I mean, every show was awesome. Mobile was like super fun. They were like one of the loudest pops I've heard when I went out. West Palm was so great. Even with all that's going on there, like it was like everybody was just super cool. And like that crowd was great. And Jacksonville, just that theater was beautiful. And the crowd was so good. And I was like, man, if I would have known they were that good, I would have just shot a special there.

I'd have been like, let's just wait and do it next year and shoot a special. But I'll just have to do another special. It was great. Jacksonville was cool. The weather, they got good breeze from the ocean.

Yeah, Jacksonville gets trashed a lot as a city. I'm very impressed. So you, okay. Yeah, I loved it. I mean, I didn't do a ton, so I don't know for everything. Yeah. Just sawgrass was there. Yeah. I know they got good golf there. Yeah. I don't think it's as hot. Like, they're hot. When it's 95 there, you at least have a breeze from the ocean. It's kind of like LA where you're, the parts, if you go to the valley, it ends up being 105 degrees. But if you go-

By the ocean, you always kind of got a breeze. So even when it's hot, there's at least a breeze. Yeah, I just enjoyed it. I don't know. Were you there Sunday? We left Sunday. I could have went to Titans. I didn't realize it. And then I saw it like last week. I was like, oh, man, we could have went to that game. But I did the Chris Como thing. So, I mean, I would do that over. Yeah. How much I'd want to go to Titans. I'd love to go to Jacks game, but it's just too hard to do some of that stuff. We played in our first charity golf.

Oh, that's right. Yesterday. Who is that for? It's for a soldier's child. It's an organization that helps out children who lost a parent in the war. Oh, that's awesome. So it's a great organization. Yeah.

It was fun. It was your first time, right? It was my first time doing something. I was with a cool group. They didn't expect a big celebrity. They didn't care. They also didn't expect me to be good at golf, which was really nice. That's all you want with those groups. You will sometimes get guys that want to win this thing and...

and they make it really not fun. Yeah. And if you can get, like, one of, I remember I played one, and we bogeyed a bunch of holes, which is pretty rare for a scramble. Like, you just don't bogey holes. And we were like, the guys, the people I was playing with were just terrible. And I wasn't,

It's not like I was... We played my ball a lot, but I wasn't... I mean, I wasn't a guy going to go out and... Like, I'm not a pro. And so I remember we had to take the sand shots because that was our best option, which is very funny to me on the scramble. Out of all four of you, the best option is the trap. And we would make bogeys. And I don't even know if we... We might have been over par by the time we were done. But...

But to this day, one of the best groups ever. I mean, I've played with a bunch of them now. They're all fun. But that was just a very, like, they didn't care at all. Yeah. And they just were, like, having a good time. You're like, these people are great, man. Well, just to speed things up, we had, it was automatic two-putt and par. Automatic par. Oh, we didn't have automatic par, but I think we had automatic two-putt, and we still would bogey.

Yeah. But the par thing, the par thing is a good thing. Like just put par down. Just speed things up, man. What was your group? They were fun. I played so bad, even by my standards. I get really nervous because I get out there.

I've never met these guys. They all know each other. I feel like they're immediately disappointed that I'm the celebrity. Yeah. In my head, I think that. And then I'm so bad at golf. I feel like they just think, this guy is bringing nothing to the table. He's bad. They didn't put pressure on me. They were a really fun group, but I played really bad. I could just tell I was nervous. Yeah. Did they talk to you about keeps? We were all wearing hats. Yeah, yeah.

You didn't take it off when you shook hands? No. At the end? They were more interested in, we had to do a silly photo. Yeah. Which I hate. Comics, I think, usually hate doing those. And everyone thinks the comic's going to come up with something. These guys were all into it, and it immediately went dirty. Yeah. Yeah.

That's the woman taking the bitch. She's like, can we do anything we want? And she's like, yeah. They really got into it. And now I'm just with this group of people trying to play along. And they're sticking tees at places. I mean, it's almost like we couldn't even show it on the podcast. I mean, probably not. Probably not. All right.

we'd have to blur a lot of it but brian's in it you're in the picture i made the photo just doing this staring at it like jay cutler but that would always be like when someone comes up and ask you i don't like silly photos either you just like let's just take the pictures like let's do a fun one you're like is this not fun like we're getting it's a picture like i don't i'm smiling yeah i'm smiling like i don't want a fun one i mean with my family i don't want like it's not like it's just people right but i just it's not i don't i don't you're like let me just take this picture and then uh

But I would always feel too, like I always get people like, hey, we flicked the camera off. And there was a couple of times, because like at the beginning, you're just like, you know, you feel like you're like, I guess I have to do whatever this person says. And there's maybe been like two or three times I had to do it. And I thought I, you know, it was like a long time ago. Now I'm like, I never liked it. I hated it every single time. And then now I just say no. I'm like, no, absolutely no. Yeah.

You can do whatever you want, but I'm not. Yeah, we're good. I'm going to sit here and smile. Yeah, I'm going to smile and be a regular person. I mean, I'm 42, so I think those days are gone. And you feel that old too, sir. So those days should be gone for you. People hang on to stuff too long, and they're doing that kind of stuff. Golf is a little different. These dudes, were they drunk? Yeah. Yeah. So that's a whole different story.

I mean, at least I didn't have to come up with the idea. They had their own ideas. They were ready. They were, yeah. Did either of the people know who you were? No. No. Your group? No. No. Still didn't, even when we were done. They hadn't heard of you. Oh, they have? Yeah, they hadn't heard of me or Brian. I'd say that's a group that you would think, I don't think they would have even heard of me. You can get to some. I feel pretty confident my group would not have known you. Did I tell the story about my golf story?

thing at Old Hickory Country Club. So I would do one every year for my high school, Donaldson Christian Academy, DCA. And we... So we do a golf tournament and it's turned into like... It's just the Nate Bargetti Golf Tournament. I didn't mean it to be that, but I like...

paid for like I guess something one time and it's become that and so it's like I love it like coach Goodwin a football coach there he uh always runs it he's great he's about to retire uh just a sweet man and so we do it and then so sometimes my dad always wants me to like go around and like take pictures with everybody or something and like so one year I played in it the second next year I think I was like all right well I'll do that I'll just go drive around and like take pictures with everybody and it was just like no one cares right

And then I told him, and this year I was like, I'm going to play. I'll be there, but I want to just play in it. And I'll take pictures with everybody. But I'm rolling up on people being like, y'all want to get a picture? And they're like, I guess. I mean, some of them I know forever. I mean, some are very nice, but in this one group,

I walked up to go take a picture of this group. A younger kid, probably 16, he comes up and is nervous. And he's like, me and my mom watch you all the time. We're such big fans. I went to take the picture. I can feel him kind of shaking a little bit. And in the same group, an older man walks up and he goes, you still doing comedy? Yeah.

He's at a tournament that's named after me. And he's like, you still bouncing around a little bit? I go, I'm just trying to plug away. Just keep knocking chips away. That's all you can do, right? The other kid is marveled by me. And this guy doesn't know. Hey, you still working? Keep plugging away, dude. What are you doing? You still at the water company? Still working over there?

Like, ah, you know, yeah, I'm the best water reader. I'm so good that they named this golf tournament after me. He thought it was a charity for you. Yeah, yeah. This is money going to you, right? Because I don't make sure it doesn't go to anybody else. Hang in there, buddy. Yeah, hang in there. You'll get on your feet. That's the beautiful thing about comedy is you just end up. It's kind of a perfect thing. You get knocked right back down.

I was going to say, I had a very funny moment with some podcast fans this weekend. Opened for Henry Cho in Walhalla, South Carolina. Oh. And a big group came out that knew me from the podcast. And I didn't know they were there until at the end of Henry's show, he does a Q&A. Yeah. And he'll just take questions from the crowd. And somebody yelled out, how far could you throw a football? Yeah.

And I'm in the back just dying. Nobody even knows. They're like, what a random question to ask this guy. And then there's got to be a couple people in the front that they don't know why they're asking that, but they're like, let's hear what he says. I love this. Yeah, Henry was like, I mean, I don't, I guess. He was like, what a weird question. The other ones are like, who's your favorite comedian? Who inspired you? Yeah. It was great. But that's a better question. Yeah, I'd like to know. It is a more interesting question. I would rather that question. If I ever took questions...

which don't just yell questions out uh but like if i ever ask say let's do a q a somewhere i would be like but ask me weird ask me those kind of questions i'm one that i got was dc one time someone goes are you really because i did try a q a and this is what made me stop it a the audacity i feel when i do that sometimes like you're sitting there and you're like

You know, anybody want to ask me some questions? And you're like, I mean, who do you think you are? Like, I'm not saying Henry. A lot of people do it and they, it's great. But it's like, for me, I honestly just was like, I feel uncomfortable. Yeah. You do have a golf tournament named after you, but. It's my high school though.

I'm just messing. That's true. I'm just messing. I don't like those questions, Aaron. Those statements. Yeah. Don't you dare. Wait, what did somebody say? Yeah, I'm still saying it. Oh, sorry, man. I feel like you're trying to move it on because you're embarrassed that you said that to me. I have a golf tournament named after me.

Like that's the ego I have. I feel like you want this to move on. You don't like it. So what did the guy say? He goes, are you really this dumb? Just yelled it out. Did it sound like your wife at all? Yeah. Don't want her voice. Did it get a big laugh when he said it? It did. And then I think it got kind of laugh. And then I think, but he was serious. I was in Washington, D.C. So it felt like a serious question.

Are you okay? Like, you know, that was about the last time I took questions. Cause I was like, Hey, you can't really, can't come back from that. There's no come back from that. What's that in Seinfeld? Yeah. When they call him Galooly. Yeah. Yeah. After they took out Bette Midler's understudy or took out Bette Midler. Yeah. Yeah. And he goes out, there's no come back for that. Yeah. Yeah. So, all right. But I do have a golf tournament named after him. Do you think we could get on it next year? As a team? You could. Yeah.

Can we put y'all in as some celebrities on there? Yeah. Put quotation marks around the celebrities.

It will be how we're doing is I'll walk y'all to each car and go, do you know who these people are? And they go, no. And then we move on until we can find, if we find someone, y'all get to play with them. If we don't, y'all just go, y'all drive back home. My group at one point goes, so Andrew, you're a celebrity. And I go, well, that answers your question. You just got my name wrong. Getting asked if you're a celebrity. Yeah. Andrew. Yeah. Andrew, you're a celebrity. You go, yeah, I guess, you know, can't go places. Yeah.

It's Aaron, but yeah, that's me. But yeah, it's Aaron, but I mean, I'm pretty big. When I walked to my cart when we were all starting, I ran into a buddy of mine from high school. I hadn't seen in a while. And he said, is this just a charity that's near and dear to your heart? I was like, no, I'm one of the celebrities. And he just started laughing. And I was like, who's the celebrity in your group? He's like, my buddy's brother plays guitar. Yeah.

And he left. You're a more celebrity than that. I think so, but to him, he was more surprised. His buddy's brother just plays like... I guess he plays somewhere professionally. He just knows how to play guitar. Yeah. Which I don't. That's what you should say your celebrity is. You go, he's like a decent piano player. And they go... Dude, that's very funny to be like, celebrities are literally nowhere. But they're just really good at a craft thing.

Like, you know, this guy can catch the most rattlesnakes in southwest Texas. And you go, oh, that's cool, man. I think I would like those celebrities. Like, don't get a real famous person. Just get...

Someone that's really great. Just like an interesting person. Like an interesting person. And that goes. My brother, we played my brother's buddy. He played guitar. For like a band? Did he play? No. No, no. He knows how to play it. We don't. So that was all it took.

That's what everybody just gets paired with a regular group and they go, all right, who wants to be a celebrity? And then you got to pick. That almost could be fun too. Out of your group, you got to pick who's this celebrity. Yeah. And then just, all right, well, what do you do? And everybody's got to ask what they do. And then everybody decides, you know, I sell insurance. And like, if you do sell insurance, you're like, have you sold it to someone? Like, you need to have some connection, you know, be like, I did, you know, Vin Diesel's aunt's house. And they go, all right, whoa.

All right, you did. You insured her house? Yeah. Did you meet him? No, she had pictures everywhere, though. My team was Southern Stump. They dig up stumps for people. And so the whole time we're out there, the guy's just looking at trees like, that would be a $350 job. I mean, he's just telling us the different trees out there, what they would be. Oh, that's interesting. So he was really the celebrity. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he has all this. Yeah, he was giving more than you gave him. Yeah, yeah.

yeah do you uh tee up when you hit your ball your foot comes up late have you been working on that that's my good shots and i didn't have any a few times they'd be like uh make us laugh and i'm like watch this tee shot yeah and then that would make them laugh because they'd see me play yeah that was my go-to yeah did y'all drive anybody were they good yeah they were good they were very good no did you ever not tee it up and say like we're just i wanted to you can do that

I almost suggested it a couple times, but I just... Just do it. Yeah. They would like it. Especially when... I'm not trying to be... No, I know. It's like if you know... I mean, we played with a guy at Sanderson Farms. We had a great group, and they all work at Sanderson Farms, and they're just super fun. And I mean, one of our group was like, he was super, super funny.

But he would do that. So he's like, all right, I'm not going to drive. I've done it sometimes. You're like, one guy would rope it 310 down the middle. You're like, we don't have to. Why waste our time? Let's just get it. Unless you want to hit, you're like, well, I want to hit. But if you're not hitting good, just go. I'll just meet you up there. Like even like, I would just kind of...

And that's also if you're the worst one in the group, kind of maybe sometimes go first. I would. Yeah. But it was just kind of a waste. Like, why am I doing this? Yeah. And I'd always putt first so they could watch my line. Brian gave me that advice, and I offered that every time. Yeah. Yeah. So at least they can watch what your ball does. And just make sure you're – yeah, that's the only thing. Just try to be in the ball around the hole. Yeah. Don't go short. Yeah. Don't go short and don't go super long. Sometimes you think that you're going to – you're like, oh, you all want to watch my line, then you just –

fly it by the hole and you're it was useless yeah you're like that we got nothing out of that because you can't i didn't get to see anything it does you're like i guess it tapered off and broke off at the very end back there 100 feet from the hole all right let's read some comments that was a long oh look at that wow uh animal part two comments dan the man with the pants that's his thing dan with the man with the pants i don't think i mind that no he has pants

But how would you know the difference? Maybe always no shirt, no shoes. That's how he would be. And then who is he? He's the man with the pants on. With only pants. Only pants. Maybe there's a xylophone in it. Yeah, maybe there is. Xylophone? Is that how you say it? Yeah. Of course, a topic as complex as animals needed a part two. Glad they finally listened to the fans. Brad McClung.

Nate's saying, yeah, that's college, you know, as if he actually knew was like when Michael Scott says campus brings back so many memories that I would have made. Yeah, that's an amazing line in the office. How many memories I would have made. Yeah.

Robert James, Nate said the Pistol Shrimps would be a good name for a minor league team. Aubrey Plaza played on the Pistol Shrimps Rec League basketball team with other comedians. I didn't know that. Yeah, Aubrey Plaza right there. Was it like a movie? It's a documentary called the Pistol Shrimps. Oh, really? 2016. And there's a podcast. Oh, really? Called the Pistol Shrimps Radio. Didn't know that. Look at that.

That's good. Yeah. It's a fun logo. Yeah. It's a good name. Shrimps don't care about it. Yep. Short people offended, but other than that, everybody kind of likes it. You're anti-gun and anti-short people. You got to find that group. Oh, man. And they're like so furious. Andrea Dysher. Dysher? Dysher?

A Dog's Journey is a movie series with Dennis Quaid, and the dog's name was Bailey. So that's probably why it's a popular dog name. That makes sense. Yeah. You know, A Dog's Journey. Is that the one you were questioning? Why Bailey's so popular? Yeah, I just, usually there's an explanation. I don't know if, this movie must have been really popular. I don't know. It's a movie series, which already is something that's never existed. Sequels? Yeah.

Oh, is it a series of sequels, I guess? I think so. Yeah, like a TV series. So you're telling me the only movie series that's ever been made was A Dog's Journey with Dennis Quaid. Dennis Quaid, who's been in literally every... He does everything. I think he lived here. Yeah, I think he lives here. He's the only actor I've ever heard my mom think is attractive. Like, we were watching The Parent Trap, and she was like, that Dennis Quaid. I was like, oh my gosh. Yeah.

Handsome guy. Yeah, is Dog's Journey? Was it a... I don't know. I've heard of a dog's purpose. I've never heard of a dog's journey. Look up a dog's journey and see what it was. Kyle Dally. Kylee Dally. Or Killy Dally. Killy Dally? I think it's Kylie. Kylie. Kylie Dally. Kylie Dally. I'm a dog groomer, and I get a lot of odd requests. When I first started, I had a customer schedule an appointment for a dog's baptism.

I thought she was joking, but she was dead serious. Also, I confirmed that the most common name is Bella. In the grooming world, there's a negative stigma with the name because most Bellas will try to bite you. In the dog grooming world. I liked it. Well, it turns out A Dog's Journey is the sequel to A Dog's Purpose. Oh, okay. So it's all part of the same movie series. So it probably was pretty big. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. It's a part of the series.

So it is a movie series. A dog's life. Is that what you say? A movie series? I've never seen it like that. It did strike me as weird. Series of movies? Yeah. Because it's not really like a... It's not a sequel. It's not a sequel. So maybe it is a series. It's a sequel to the 2017 film, A Dog's Purpose. Oh, it's the same dog? I don't know if it's the same dog. Bailey. Maybe it's Bailey. Maybe it's on Dennis Quaid after a while if the dog keeps disappearing. Yeah.

I mean, having your dog baptized, that's good. I mean, I bet she did. She laughed. She goes, I don't know what's funny. You go, I don't either. I'll get her ready.

TR, when you were talking about animals not being native to certain places, it made me think of my family's trip to Puerto Rico. Iguanas are not native there, and they have no natural predators. A tour guide told us to do our part and swerve our cars to hit the iguanas to help control the iguana population. He also told us that years ago, the government tried to convince people that iguanas tasted like chicken. That did not work. Iguanas are everywhere. I mean, what about that? You show up on your trip, you go, hey guys, we'd love you, just to...

Run over all iguanas with your car. I mean, try. Swerve into traffic. Would you get into it? About trying to hit them? I don't know if I could. It feels weird when you run over something. They're big. They're like big. If they're bugs, I don't care. But that's like a big thing. It's like a big thing. You want to feel it. It's got a face. Oh, yeah. You're going to feel it. You're going to hear it. Maybe that's happened. Tiger Woods is a car wreck. That was the cause of it. He was swerving two-headed an iguana? Yeah. Yeah.

Don't really. Yeah. He's trying to help the environment. That's what he should say. He goes, well, you've seen the iguana stuff going on over there. I was swerving to get it. Got a little out of control. And then I was like, Puerto Rico, definitely back. They're like, this guy's a hero. All right. Game show comments. Ryan, Carrie, Rob, Ryan, Carrie, Rob. I wonder if that's the like married.

Or unless that's her. But there's an apostrophe. I was going to say the first name's hyphenated. Ryan Carey. What's an apostrophe? Half a quotation mark. I didn't use those. Why would I say that? I didn't know why they would be used. To show possession.

It shows possession. Well, it's one way, yeah. Like I own this. So it should be Ryan apostrophe Carrie. Like he owns her. Ryan's Carrie. Ryan's Carrie. Like Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Yeah. Like Ruth's Chris. Yeah. Exactly like that. This is Carrie's YouTube face. This is her YouTube page.

She's like, but Ryan, obviously I got to run stuff by him. Ryan's Kerry Robb. Ryan, yeah. The fact that Nate has taken a DNA test and found out that he is an Italian but chooses to trust Cousin Ronnie instead tells you everything you need to know about this podcast. I agree. He said, why would they, what do they know? Who's doing these DNA tests? I'm shipping them off to some

Who knows where? Cousin Ronnie's more reliable. Yeah, I think so. He's lived it. He's been around almost one of the longest of the Bargettis right now. He's our leader. He would be the famous person in a golf scramble right there. He actually would because he coached a Vandy and everybody knows him in Nashville. Wow, wow. So, yeah, you joke backfire there. Andrew. Good job, Andrew. Justin Pruitt. Tennessee coach, right?

Isn't he Pruitt? It's Jeremy Pruitt. Jeremy Pruitt. But this is his family. It's probably his brother. Pruitt's probably not a common name. Probably the most common name.

I can't believe you guys didn't even mention Supermarket Sweep. I remember watching this with my grandmother at school every day 20 years ago. I was the best eight-year-old at identifying name brand products as well as knowing the prices and how to map out a grocery store. Now, there's been a reboot in season two with Leslie Jones. Do yourself a favor and watch every episode. I did watch that. I forgot about it, but we watched it growing up. Yeah, I guess that would be considered a game show. Yeah.

It was a game show. It was kind of a cool game show. Yeah, why would you think it? Maybe not. Well, I haven't watched it, but it's a race. It's shot on location at a grocery store, right? It's a set. Oh, it is? Okay. And it's a race, and you're competing. What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think?

What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? What do you

And there's aspects you got to pick out the right amount of the price. I get that it's a little different. I'm just wondering why it doesn't fit your definition of a game show or why you would think it would. Well, I guess it's because I haven't seen it. That would be my biggest. I thought it was shot on location at a grocery store with like, like different cameras, not like on a set with a host. Like it'd be just a show about like someone wanted to go, here's my strategy. And we would just watch people's strategies on how they shot. They go, huh? That's cool.

That's good. Yeah. I like what she did there. She went Brad first. Jesse Rothacker. Dear Nate, Aaron, and Bling Bling. My mom and her siblings were on Family Feud in the early 90s, and my mom gave such a horrible answer that the judges actually stopped the show to help her.

During the bonus round, one of the questions was, name something imported. And my mom answered birth control. At the end of the bonus round, the judge literally interrupted the host over the intercom to explain that they think my mom misunderstood one of the questions and let her take another stab at it. When they repeated name something imported,

More clearly, she got extremely embarrassed and explains, I thought you said name something important. They won almost 50K, which sounds like a lot. It was divided between the five of them. Still 10K a lot. 10K. That's really funny, though. That is very funny. I would think that would almost be a famous clip of it because it's very funny. Yeah, he said he couldn't find it online. I think it still came out, but he said he couldn't find it online.

Yeah, that's very funny. If that had happened in the Steve Harvey era, it would be on YouTube. You would be. Millions of years. Yeah, they'd be famous. Yeah. They could be a celebrity golf tournament. I did that imported birth control. Oh, yeah. I remember. I saw that. I remember you. Yeah, I saw it like my aunt showed me. I was kind of busy then. Katie Parker. I was a contestant on Wheel of Fortune. The taxes that are owed on game show winnings are done first in every state, but good old California.

So while some people do go broke from it, if you get cash, you are in the clear. The prizes are like you all agreed. A defiant burden if you don't win big enough cash-wise. They do prep you a ton, though. Is that not the way you say it? A definite burden. I don't think it's a defiant. A burden is defiant. No one likes a burden. Yeah, that's true. And so you're...

Yeah, I think Nate was right on that one. Birth control. No, a definite, right? Yeah, definite. A definite burden if you don't win big enough cash-wise. They do prep you a ton, though, when you're signing all the paperwork and you spend all morning going over all the rules and prize information. You just don't want to walk out of there not ahead. Right.

I would almost be like, just let everybody do whatever. There's Katie, by the way. Yeah, Katie. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, wow. Preschool teacher. Did she win? Looks like she wins $100,000. Put a little pep in your step. She won $100,000? $100,000. How many views is that on YouTube? 145,000. 145,000. Katie, go be a celebrity at a golf tournament. I mean, you're... I might have you on the podcast. You're more famous than the two that I have.

I've never been on TV. I need some heat. She's been on network. Y'all have been on local dish only cable. The only TV that y'all been on had multiple dashes in it. 4-1. 4-1. Who gets it? No, I wish it was 4-1. It was 4-3. Yeah. Oh, man. Not even the one. Yeah. Yeah.

So go to 4-1, head on up to 4-3. And you were on just straight four. Number four. Isn't Well, Fortunate on NBC? No, it's syndicated. It's on ABC here. No, okay. Number two here. Yeah. Or with... All right. Tom Clark. Three's a Crowd was a newlywed-style show from 1979 where the objective was to determine who knows a man better, his wife or his secretary. Oof.

At age 12. Almost every episode resulted in one or more of the husbands stumbling into admitting he was cheating on his wife with his secretary. Whoever had the most points at the end, the wives or the secretaries, would split $1,000. The show was pulled after a few months and a lot of outrage. It supposedly resulted in 12 divorces. Alex Foster. Happy anniversary to Nate and Shaddy.

Oh, because of the name. That's funny. Yeah. That's great. I know this is Tom Clark, but it's a comedian. Very funny. Man, that's funny, man. Three's a crowd. They should do a documentary on that. Yeah, there's videos of this, and it's so weird. They'll answer questions, and then like that one shot right there, the women are kind of fighting. Yeah. Right there. What are the kind of questions that they ask? It was like...

Favorite recipe or something. And the secretary said, making spaghetti on my body or something like that. Oh, really? Something like that. And then the wife, she gets upset. I don't know how much of it staged. I don't know. This is like what got Jerry Springer started. Yeah, it's like Family Feud meets Jerry Springer. Yeah. That's fun. You covered two comments in a row there? Yeah, I almost read it like it was a letter. Yeah.

That's why I was so confused. You didn't jump right to the next comment. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, I did. You thought it was like a sincerely. Yeah, I thought it was like a sincerely. I thought, well, that's weird. Why does the top say Tom Clark? I guess that's not his name. And then I thought their name was Alex Foster. And he said, happy anniversary to Nate and Shaddy. And I read it as literally as sincerely. Yeah. And I was pretty confused on it. And I would have just moved on, though. And that's why I said Tom Clark's a funny comedian. So maybe that is Tom. But...

Tom Clark, one of the first comedians I ever met in Chicago. Super funny dude. I think he's in California now. But I remember he was the first one I first started. He came and talked to our class, and I was like... So every time I see him, I'm always like, hey. You know, you're just always blown away by the guys you first get to meet in comedy. Is he a longtime Boston comic? Mate, yeah. I might be getting confused with someone else. Yeah. Mate, is there... No, you're thinking...

Tom Dustin or Bob Clark yeah that's Tom Clark I don't know he was in Chicago it could have been I forget Lenny Clark maybe Lenny Clark from Boston yeah there's Tom he's got a bunch of Conan stuff stand up stuff just look him up uh

So, yeah, then Alex Foster, your own special thing. Happy anniversary to Nate and Shadi. Thank you so much, Alex. It is our anniversary. And that's the gift I was giving her. Just your comment, Alex. If you don't know what Shadi is, you got to listen to episode one. Yeah, people, that's people's favorite thing. Is that in the best of? I don't think I'm going to make the final cut.

That was one of the. We had some other hitters, man. That was a good one. Worf. People really liked your brother Worf. Yeah. That's a good one. We're going to post it all again on Instagram. This has been a long one so far. All right. This week, we've got a guest. He's been on the road with me. Hold on. You better shoot him. Oh, okay. Good. All right. So we've got a guest this week.

And then he's been on the road with me. Excited to have him. He's from Oklahoma. We're going to talk about Oklahoma. So we're having him come in. Everybody welcome Justin Smith. Justin Smith.

Welcome, Justin. Hello, everybody. What a great shirt. I'm telling you, man. This is the way to do it. What's great about this shirt is they make them in all sizes. All sizes. Who knew? Cover the spectrum. What a spread. For those listening, you want to describe what the shirt is? If you can't see and you're watching YouTube, I don't know if you saw it with Nick's episode, but Nick wore a shirt with four mustaches on it. And then so Justin...

Also, he was wearing a shirt with four mustaches. He wore it on the bus, and I walked and saw it. I saw Travis just start laughing, and I was like, what are you laughing at? And he's just sitting there, and you don't have the other thing, do you? Oh, no, no. I left it. He has on the bus. He also brought cortisone.

With him. I was just going to put it in the bathroom. Just to bait him. That's great. I mean, so good. And when I saw it, I was like, well, we got to wear it on the podcast. That's hilarious. What's the thing about Nick is you get like, once Nick gets in your life, you're like, oh man, I miss that dude.

Like, all the time. Oh, yeah. Big time. It's great. Any little thing that happens, anytime... I mean, anytime I smoke a cigar, anytime I see, like, a children's sword. Yeah. You know, like, I'm always like, oh, I'm going to FaceTime with Nick. Because we bought that sword for him to open the door. We told that story, right? I don't remember that. I think so. Did we? We had to. I was just picturing him with a sword, and that made me laugh. I feel like you told it. Yeah. I can tell real fast, and I don't know if it... But on the bus...

The door to open the bus, you just got to press the door and it slides open. And so when he was late at night, he was going to get up to just go pee real fast. It's like three in the morning. The front door is closed where Ricky, our bus driver, is driving. And then so he walks through the door and he presses the door to close it behind him just because everybody's, that's where we're all sleeping. He goes to the bathroom and then comes back out. Well, the door to go back in.

is higher. It's not as low. The knob is higher. So he can't get it. And then, and he can't get to the bus door with Ricky. So nothing's funnier than me ever to picture Nick at 3 a.m. having to problem solve. How does he go to bed? Does he just sleep on the couch and just be like, all right, I guess I'm sleeping out here now.

And then so we get up the next morning, and there's stuff everywhere on the floor. And I was like, golly, I guess we swerved the bus last night. And Nick was like, yeah, I didn't feel it. And I was like, yeah, I don't know what's going on. And then Nick tells us the story. He goes, well, I got locked out last night. I go, what did you have to do? He goes, I had to climb up on that shelf and press that button. I go, well, that's where all the stuff was. And that's the stuff that's on the floor. He goes, I didn't do it. I go, I don't think there's any other way.

You would have felt a swerve like that. Like, you know. So, yes. We all miss Nick. Do you have that custom made? No, I went to the big guy store. Yeah. And then I went to Spirit Halloween. Yeah. And that's where you grab mustaches like this. Okay. I mean, are those the exact ones that he used? I mean, I think they look like exactly. They look exactly like it. Yeah. I mean,

As soon as I saw him, I was like, oh man, this is great. And you know what it's like to go to spirit and put three packs of mustaches on the, when you already have a mustache, you're like, oh man, there's nothing but trouble happening right now. What's going on here, buddy? You're like, I got four friends that want to be like me. Welcome to the show. Justin, me and Justin have been friends for a long time now. Yeah, man. 10 years or something. Yeah.

since the first time you came to Oklahoma. Oklahoma. Came to OKC. Big tornado happened that day. That's right. What took you? Tornado hunting and you saw an oil rig for the first time? Saw an oil rig for the first time. We just went out there and you dropped an envelope off or something. Yeah, well, that's back when I was working in the oil field, so I would drop filters off. Yeah. So I took him out there and he thought it was going to be like some... I thought it was going to be like a storm chaser. Like a tour. Yeah. He thought it was going to be like Armageddon where they're going, you know, the opening scene where it's going to be...

you know, Japanese businessmen. They're like, and then I just walk out there and get a guy to sign something. And he's like, that's it. We drove an hour and a half. Yeah. I was in the back of a truck going like this the whole time. And I'm just running an errand with you. Like I thought we were, you know, but,

But, yeah, so we started becoming friends there, becoming great friends then. It comes out a lot with me. From Oklahoma, as you can see, big OSU fan. That's kind of you got to choose that in Oklahoma, right? Yeah, that's a big thing. It's a big choice. This is the blue-collar choice. Yes. This is the Vanderbilt.

I was going to ask, because we talked about this one of the last episodes, but can you tell a lot about somebody by which team they choose? Oh, of course. It's like if you live in New York, it's like Jets versus Giants. Yeah, okay. Or like Yankees versus Mets. I'd imagine everybody that roots for them is from Oklahoma. Oh, yeah. And then people from Oklahoma or Texas. You can do anybody. Anybody. People just like to win championships, basically. But it's going to mean more when they win it.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So if I moved to Oklahoma, I would be an OSU fan. Right. Because I would be – that's, you know – I like Oklahoma too, though. But, I mean, it's – but if I had to choose, I think I'm going to go OSU because that's what I'm – I like the idea of, like, when you win, it means – Our culture has a mullet. Yeah. I'm working my way around the table. I mean, Aaron's – I'm converting Aaron. Aaron's got OKC. OKC Dodgers hat. Yeah. Did you go to one of the games?

I went by the stadium. There wasn't a game going on. Oh, that park is so beautiful. But I went by there. That whole area of town is awesome, man. Jim Thorpe Museum down there too? I saw that, yeah. Jim Thorpe's a famous Oklahoman. One of the greatest athletes that's ever lived. Yeah. He knows a lot about Oklahoma. I'm a big fan. He talks to us a lot. Did you go to OSU? No, no, no. I went to Christian College. Yeah. So I went a different way. I wish I would have. Yeah. That would have been amazing.

I still, you know, you ever do that thing where like when you go to like a college football game and you look at all the students and you're like, man, they're having so much fun down there. And then you try to bring some of that student section energy into like season ticket holders. They're like, hey, can you sit down please? My feet hurt. I got gal. Yeah, I got gal. A lot of

A lot of gouts down there. Yeah. You get an age and you're like, that's, yeah, that's why you go over there. Don't come over here. Michigan's like that. I'm in a Michigan game and you thought it's going to be, there are student sections wild and the rest of it's kind of like, yo, sit down and watch the game. Like it's not, you think it's going to be rowdier than it is. And it's, uh, the one game that I went to. So maybe it is other, I'm sure when they play Ohio state or Michigan state, it probably is. They played Iowa. Uh,

Awesome stadium. And then... But he was like a little...

I was like, oh, y'all are, I mean, sold out to 107,000 people. Yeah. But it's everybody's kind of, which I mean, I think I would like more now, to be honest. Like, I think I would enjoy that experience to be like, yeah, I'll go watch the game. Oh, so then you were wanting everyone to stand up. I don't, I mean, I was younger. Yeah. I was probably 24 and I, 25 or something. And I think. You're basically the same age as those students. Yeah. Yeah. And so you're thinking like, is it going to be so rowdy? Are we screaming? And you go there and you're like, no, everybody's like.

They all probably went there, grew up there, and they're older, and they sit and watch the game, which is probably the way it should be. I don't know. I don't like when a team does well for a long time because then it's very much like that NFL atmosphere where it's like, hey, can you guys sit down? When Oklahoma State, we were bad for so long, and then all of a sudden we got like –

Barry Sanders. Well, no. I mean, even after that, we got – it's kind of like we had these – Rashawn Woods, who was very famous, he beat Oklahoma twice. But we went from being really bad when we had Les Miles, and then all of a sudden, Gundy comes along, changes the entire program, runs off a lot of riffraff, and then all of a sudden, the team starts getting good. And now you have all these fans that are like, oh, my gosh, we're –

we're good now. So now everybody's like into it for the long time. We're like, nah, we're going to mess it up. We're going to mess it up. We're up by one time. We were playing university of Texas with Vince Young was playing. Yeah. And we were up 21, which is crazy. Yeah. I mean the, one of the greatest college football players of all time is on the other side. And we're just sitting the whole time. I was like, man, we're just going to, we're just going to enjoy this. We're going to enjoy this. Cause it's going to all go down. And then right before halftime, that famous clip of him where he does like the pump fake and you see,

You see our linebacker just fly through the screen, and he runs 60 yards for a touchdown. That was the moment everybody in the stadium goes, you know, this was fun. This first half was a lot of fun. We're going to do a lot of sit in the second half. And what did they do? Did they blow you all out? Oh, yeah. They killed us by like 20. Yeah. They went on to one. A lot of swings in Oklahoma State football. Who's the big donor in Oklahoma State? Boone Pickens. Yeah. He passed away? Was it T. Boone Pickens?

That's what's crazy is when you – because you just – in Oklahoma State, you're just like, oh, it's just some guy. And then you watch like The Wolf of Wall Street and the joke is like, ah, T. Boone Pickett just walked in my office. Yeah, yeah. They talk about him there, like American Psycho. Any Wall Street movie, they bring him up and you're like, you mean that guy? Yeah. That they call him like a corporate raider and you're like, that – you mean the guy that has to like – He was just from – He's so sweet looking when he was –

Yeah, he went to Oklahoma State. But just like a brilliant Wall Street dude. Yeah, and he made like tons of money. He was a guy that he would go into corporations, basically take them over. I can't wait to hear the emails about me doing this thing. But he would take over business and then kind of sell off its assets. He was that guy. Yeah. You know, whenever they point to a shipyard, it's like, you remember when I used to make ships? He was the guy that would come in and like,

you know, sell everything. Yeah. He was that guy. Is it good or bad? I mean, depends on how you work. It wasn't great. Great for Oklahoma state. Yeah. Yeah. OSU. That's right. We got a great state. Yeah. Yeah. Cause it is a famous name. Oh, that's a great name. Yeah. It's an all time. Great name. Yeah. T Boone Pickens. I just didn't, I just didn't like that. He did the thing where he, he would always say that I'm the biggest Oklahoma state fan. And you're like, dude, you're sitting up in a box.

Yeah, but he's giving the most money to me. I know, but dude, if I had the money, I'd give it. You think I wouldn't give it? I know, but he does have the money and he is giving it. Percentage-wise, do you think you give as much as he does? I mean, I'm just going to tell you something. If it came to eating Chipotle for the day or making sure I got to go to

to like an away game or go see them play, I'm going to skip Chipotle. But he's paying for the stadium and stuff. Right. But I'm saying like percentage-wise. Have you ever been to an away game? Oh, I used to go all the time. Okay. Away games are my favorite. You go to Kansas State. I mean, there's all these schools that are amazing away games. What's your etiquette when you go to an away game? Do you wear all the OSB gear? Oh, yeah. I wear all the gear. You just don't care? And you're respectful.

I like giving people a piece of our culture. Yeah. Because when I sit in the stadium, our family season tickets are right by where the visitors allotment. So all the players' family that come to the games, they sit right next to us. Mm-hmm.

So we, it's kind of cool to see like, cause we get to see their culture too. Like Kansas state is still one of my favorite big 12 schools because they're kind of like us just in the North. And so they're very like blue collar people. Like when you go to their, when you go tailgate with them, there's like a big pasture.

And then you just go and you just hang out in the pasture. And I'm like, man, this is – I love this. This is great. It's awesome. It's great. Because everybody's cooking. If you don't have anything, like if you just have drinks, other teams will come and invite you over. You don't get that in Norman. Yeah. Well, y'all, that's a big rivalry. Yeah. So that would be – do y'all do that to Oklahoma fans?

Or y'all treat them the same? I mean, I think we're more cordial than they are. Yeah. But they also have – I mean, you think you're better than everybody else because you got – I mean, they got the banners. They got the championships. I understand. I understand that's the way you want to live your life. You want to be the Yankees. That's fine. Would you rather win a –

One national championship or beat Oklahoma. Excuse me, we have a national championship. Thank you very much. 1945. Oh, wow. That was a big year. They didn't vote on it until five years ago. But we got it. We went off to the Civil War. But if you could pick right now, you beat Oklahoma for 20 straight years or win one national championship. And then lose...

Every year to Oklahoma. One national championship. Yeah. Because I think that would do more for our school. Yeah, yeah. And I don't know. I'm always like... I'm more now... Because everybody complains about bowl games now. I love bowl games because also my uncle was a head football coach. So I know those players work hard all year. And they're still kids.

People don't seem to understand. They're still kids. I mean, they're putting their bodies on the line for nothing. And it's like, they get those little packages when they go to like, they get like a, you know, they'll get like a hair dryer and like a PlayStation and all these things in this big, that's a big spread. But,

But there's all these things that they get, and they get to go on vacation, and their family gets to go on vacation. Yeah. And it's like they work hard, even if it's in Shreveport, Louisiana. I've been to there. It's still – The Vandy. Yeah. The Vandy. But even then, like – The Wade Wacker Bowl. No. NC State, I think. Yeah. I feel like it was NC State. We lost. It feels like a bad boy mower bowl, though, for sure, though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Cajun bowl or Kraft mac and cheese bowl. No, I thought it was like the Shreveport bowl or something. I'm telling you that Cheez-It plug is great because they put that their whole thing is like, hey, listen, we know we're ridiculous. So here's what we're going to do. We're going to put Cheez-Its in everything.

So they were, like the Gatorade bath after is like Cheez-Its. Oh, really? Oh, my gosh. There's a picture of Gundy getting doused with Cheez-Its. And then they have like Brandon Presley, who's one of our receivers. He caught three touchdown passes. There's just him just eating a box of Cheez-Its after. Oh, it's, yeah, look at it. It's amazing. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. That's really cool. And it looks like they mixed it with water. Oh, it's so good. It's just wet Cheez-Its. Yeah. It's just great. It's great. It's my favorite thing. That is my fantasy, by the way.

If I ever get a big special, just have somebody come on and just dump Cheez-Its on top of me. With wet Cheez-Its all over you. Yeah, I love it. We could make that happen. I think we could make it very specific. We just had to throw it out there. I mean, there's no other Gatorade bath thing.

Like getting dumped like in sports is like the coolest thing to me. Yeah. And there's no like for a coach even. There's nothing like that. I mean, basketball, they do like the bottle thing when somebody comes in. I get it. Sports are great. You want to do it after just a special. Yeah.

I mean, even a Tuesday. Wake up that way. I'll wake up that way. Of course. You just have a weird fantasy. Yeah. Did you have a good set? It was fine. I didn't kill. I didn't bomb. Just one of those that's like, yeah, those sets. You're like, I think they wouldn't complain about me. You know? All right. Cheez it is. And then we just dump them on you. You just get famous enough. You're just like, hey, listen, don't ever go to Cleveland.

because I put in my rider that I need a Cheez-It bath immediately when I come off stage. And guess who didn't have a Cheez-It bath ready for me? They looked at me like I was crazy. You're the new green M&Ms. That's right. When your rider gets to go, I would like Cheez-Its poured on me afterwards. And they're like, okay. And not just one guy. I need a person on each side to really get the lift. I want to celebrate it. Wet Cheez-Its. Wet Cheez-Its. Wet Cheez-Its. We used to debate, not debate, but we would discuss...

who's more likely to happen you get to the level where you could be a celebrity guest picker on game day or vanderbilt getting good enough that they would be the place on game day but they played on game day they did years ago but after that now yeah you're way ahead of vanderbilt right now yeah i mean you're going at least the right direction yeah going the right direction could i be if they go to vanderbilt would i be big enough that they would there's so many country singers here though

But are any of them outspoken, ardent Vanderbilt fans? Your list on Wikipedia is one of Vanderbilt's great athletes. Oh, really? No. It says notable Vanderbilt players or athletes, and you're one of them that's listed on there. I mean, who makes the sign after they have a great... Every late night set, you do the thing. Yeah, that's crazy. I think it's the list. Go to the...

Well, there's a separate. I'll find it. Yeah, it was the second one. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, I would love to be a game day picker. I mean, they came. We beat Auburn when they came. That was amazing. It was so crazy when they came to get it. You're just like, I can't believe they're here. Yeah. And we won. We won. Yep. We won. They were going to come one other time. Well-known American football athletes include former students Nate Bargettsi.

Right ahead of Jay Cullen. Right ahead of Jay Cullen. If I would have known this, I would have shown Jake. I'm going to get it and we're going to text it to Jay. I'm above Jay. I mean, I know all of it. Like, oh, man. So, yeah, dude. Whoever did that is awesome. I mean, that's so great.

Oh, that's so funny. Vanderbilt's first football team. I was at that game. Yeah. I thought I'd beat Nate. Brian didn't want them to start football because I don't agree with it. It's a good thing going here. I don't think we should start a new thing. And then, even back then, I was like, can everyone just sit down? Yeah. Why do we have to stand? The score of that game was 2-3. 2-3. Oh, my gosh. If that.

What's the first thing about Oklahoma? It's a Choctaw word. Oklahoma means people in Huma, which translates as red. So it's red people. Red people. We talked about that on the bus. Oh, you did? Yeah. It's not offensive. I mean, it's a native language. Okay. I think you should change it. Yeah, you're calling people red. You call them red people? Yeah.

That's where that name comes from? Yeah, but it was the Choctaw that came up with it. Yeah, it's our... I mean, like... I mean, I'm not saying I'm offended. That's the whole thing is like, it's kind of a thing where it's like, oh, this is what we... This is our thing. Yeah, yeah, I agree. I'm not... I don't... Obviously, I don't ever care. But I think it's just very funny to be like... It is like... But see, this is the problem. Somebody that like... Yeah. Like people that live there are like, no, no, no, this is our hair. Yeah. And then... Yeah.

Yeah. And then go ahead. I think you should call it the football club. Football team or whatever. Yeah. Has there been any talk seriously about someone wanting to change the name of the state? No, they don't even know. They don't know until somebody from Seattle that looks like Aaron, oddly enough. Ooh, that's true. Whereas in OKC, you had to be cool. I think you should change this. Yeah. You're like, oh, okay. You think we should change our...

So you want to see what is that? Well, we did purple people eaters. We got rid of that. And now your whole state is named after red people. That's what they call Oklahoma, Texas are separated by the Red River.

Man, you're just obsessed with the color, huh? Why can't this river be just normal? Yeah. Just be a regular... He's just out there living his life, man. Yeah. And y'all got to give him a color. Is it red? Yeah. Well, no. That red river is all just because Oklahoma is filled with red dirt. Oh, yeah. So that's why even the music, the famous country music that's kind of edgy is called red dirt music. It's because even in Stillwater, all the earth is red. It's like clay.

So red is also a big part of our culture because of

that's the way our soil looks. Yeah. So I know it's also a farming, so everybody knows what, I mean, it just means kind of, it's, being red dirt is like another way of saying blue collar is basically what it is. But it's a big part of our culture. I think I like red dirt more than blue collar. Yeah. Red dirt sounds kind of cool. Yeah. I think I want to be red dirt. Yeah. Just start saying it. Yeah. Can I? Yeah, of course. I give you permission. Just this once though. Well, we are red people. So, yeah. You call yourself an oaky? I don't,

Got to think about it. Sometimes, yeah. When Herbstreet says Okie, I don't like it. Yeah. But when somebody else, like if Nate called me an Okie, I'm cool. When somebody else that's country, it's not poking fun. Where's he from? He from Ohio? Yeah. But he's very much like, he used to call us Okie State. Yeah. You're like, I don't, you're not. Nobody calls it that. I don't like that. Yeah.

The boy can't even handle an earthquake. You ever see that photo of him? There's a famous photo. He's on the air and there's an earthquake happens in Stillwater when he's calling a game. And it looks like it's the... See that? There it is right there. That's his face. That's a highly educated man. That's his reaction when there was chaos. Right there.

I mean, the ground shaking. But I do love... That's very funny. We put him on the projector. That's our thing. Oh, man. I love that. That's so great. I mean, I love it that you're like, what a loser. An earthquake? You can't take a little earth moving around, surprisingly. I mean, the first time I ever felt an earthquake, if anybody's never felt one... I've never felt one. It's wild, dude. It's the most...

Like, you have no control. There's nowhere you can go. Like, you're just on the ground and you're like, I can't go. Do y'all get a lot of them? Well, we have a lot in the last 15 years. Because of fracking? Yeah, just because of...

Is it because of fracking? Yeah. I don't even know what fracking is. It's essentially when you drill into the ground, they shoot water into the ground so that it makes a well more productive, basically. Okay. So instead of having to drill 15 holes, you drill one hole. Like an oil well? Yeah. Oh. Or you can do it with a bunch of... Like it makes the oil come up quicker? It's a whole process, but yeah. Basically, it's creating more of... It's more friction in the ground. And so people... Are you for fracking or against fracking? I mean...

Isn't that a big political thing? I think so. It's kind of very funny to be like, that guy hates fracking. And you're like, are you kidding me right now? And you get a big fracking conversation. From 2014 to 2017, Oklahoma exceeded California in earthquakes magnitude three or larger. Wow. My only earthquake experience was in Oklahoma. Yeah? Oh, really? I did a terrible casino gig in Miami.

Oh my gosh, that place is... I got food poisoning at that place so bad. Oh my gosh. You know the gig he's talking about? Yeah, I did. I did it. I did it a long time ago. It's a terrible gig, but that morning my hotel earthquake happened. I was so excited. I was like, that's the best part of this whole weekend. It was a very small one. I was like, I think that was an earthquake. How bad was the show that the earthquake was the highlight of the trip? Pretty bad. I called you that

That weekend to tell you, it was the same day your commercial came out for AT&T. Oh, yeah, yeah. And we were talking on the phone about it. I was like, I just felt an earthquake. I was so excited. The gig was terrible. Really, really, really bad. I felt it in California. I mean, there was one I felt. I felt them now. I maybe felt two or three. I felt the one in New York, which was crazy. We were living in New York, and you just don't think they have them.

And it shook. Laura was working. That's when she had a real job. She made all the money. And I was at home playing video games. And she's up in one of the big buildings. And so she was up at the top when it happened. And then I remember I felt it. And I thought, I looked out and there was a dump truck driving by. So I go, was that a dump truck? I go, it did that. And I think I felt it again. And I was like, this is how...

neighbors don't talk in New York is we, I, we all walked out to the, everybody has the same reaction. We all walk out to the, our patios in the front. Everybody's looking at everybody. Nobody talks. Like we all just had an earthquake. No one goes, you feel that you did that. We all just stare at each other and then just walk back in our homes. Give a like pretty crazy, huh? Something like that. Or what was that? Yeah. No one did. We all, I mean, I remember seeing all of us,

There was, I mean, honestly, eight people come out and we just went back in. Almost like we looked at each other and said...

I don't want to do this, man. And then we went back in. That, that, uh, my, I'm a, is it how you say it? My, I'm a, my, I'm a, it's spelled like Miami. It doesn't, it's, it's, there was a plug up front near the stage and a woman got up during the show, went up there, charged her phone. Oh, and then, yeah, I have video. And then later went back up and checked it during the show. I'm on stage to see what messages she'd missed. Yeah. That was the kind of gig it was. Yeah. Riveting stuff. They make you like you were bringing riveting. Yeah.

She goes, I'm going to go check my... I always think the confidence of that is crazy. Yeah. To be like, how would you go, oh, there's a plug. People are obsessed with plugs. They want them so bad. And you watch them just hunt. Look at the airport. At the airport, it's just like a guy's laying under a trash can. And you'd be like, what's he doing? No one cares. He goes, there's a plug. And everybody goes, oh, I understand that. And you're like, how do you get your life together? And if your phone dies, it dies.

and move on. Get one little extra charger, I guess, if it's that bad. But what are you doing? It's 9 a.m. And you're already had that kind of day that you're like a fiend.

trying to find you know i mean just like you're under people you don't there's no regard to any human being they're just sitting there just to crawl under you and everybody kind of lets it happen because they i understand you lift your feet you lift your feet for me they go i understand i've been there buddy you gotta look for that plug and they're hunting it like uh

Have you ever seen the plug stickers that people put on the airports? No. They're just stickers that look like an outlet. Oh, yeah. Oh, just to mess with people? Yeah, they just put them on the wall. Yeah. And I've seen them a couple times. I'm just like, that just makes my day. Yeah, people just go up and hit it. My favorite is when they have the outlet in the chair. Yeah, that's great. And I'm sitting there, and I just got my huge hamstring with my extra satchel just sitting here. And they just got a...

Like they're trying to decide if they're going to ask me to move or not. Because they can't be like plugging in. It's like, dude, I can't even, I can't even get my own. You got a mirror I can maybe like. Well, people won't go out of their way. That's the thing. Like if I need, like if you need a plug and this is, I know people always say my rules that I have made up for it. I think everybody should follow. I understand that. So do whatever you want. But they, I don't like when they don't care. Like to me, it's like, if you need a plug, at least go try to find an empty spot.

But people will, I mean, people have been like, can I use that plug that you're standing in front of? And then they just put it in there. And you want to go like, well, maybe I'm eating right here. If you're at the airport and just eat, you know. And there's those plugs that are kind of everywhere, but we're all sitting up there. And someone would be like, can I have that plug? And they would leave their phone up there to charge it. You're like, well, you got a problem. Like, how do you not? Go walk somewhere. Go walk down. There's got to be an empty space.

or next to a wall that's not, you know, but I want to be right here. I can only be right here. It sounded like y'all left. No, no. People listening at home, they're like, I think you're ready to walk down there. I agree with you. Oklahoma became a state in 1907.

A little too soon. We could have used a little maturity. I think you little. We could have let that wine bottle sit in that cellar for a little bit. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. There's people alive that when they were born, Oklahoma was in a state. Yeah. Only about 10 of them, but there are some. But I also love, like, people don't, I mean, Oklahoma is great because, like, for the longest time, like, we've had so many people. It's like we've been a life raft for so many groups of people.

Where you have, you know, for the longest time, Native people spent a long time in Oklahoma because it was Indian territory. And then it was kind of like for a while it was outlaw territory. So everybody would rob in the areas and then they would hide out in Oklahoma. And then when the land run happened, you had all these immigrants from the East Coast that didn't have anything. That's why there's, you know, Irish and Czechoslovakian.

Like it is a huge gathering every year. Like it's a huge thing. So you have all these different groups of, you know, like Eastern European people all over Oklahoma. Is it a life raft for the outlaws? Yeah. Yeah.

That was my little league football team. It was named the Outlaws. Well, it's funny. Your other two groups are people that needed the life raft. The other group, all the people that killed people. They'd come here and hang out at Oklahoma because we were cool with it. I mean, cattle rustling. Nobody has to get hurt there. Still some cattle. Just taking somebody's livelihood and selling them to somebody else. Go to Oklahoma. They clearly don't care. They'll let you do whatever.

Just don't steal here. Go steal from everybody else. That was just always my favorite word as growing up was rustling. Rustling. Rustling. Rustling cattle. It's called the Sooner State because people try to sneak into Oklahoma and make land claims sooner than they were allowed. Yeah. That's during the land run. Oh, yeah. So you guys know the land run, right? Do you know? Is it the premise of Far and Away? No.

I mean, you mean the actual thing that far and away is based? He's like, you know the thing of far and away? That was real? I don't know. So basically what they did was they wanted to give Oklahoma away to people. So what they did was they had the army set up all the way around the state, and they divided up into a bunch of large acre plots. And they had everybody line up, and the army fired off a cannon at noon.

And you just went. And the whole thing was you tried to run to get a stake, and then you had to go claim the land. That's the whole thing. So Sooners, which is with the University of Oklahoma, you know, the other school. Yeah. Their whole thing is there were people that tried to sneak across the land before the time. Yeah. And then they got the plots early. That was the whole thing. And so Sooners is what they called those people. And how would they go? You just put it in the land, and you're like...

How do you know what? They had different checkpoints set up, so you would just go and claim it, and then it was your land. And it'd be like, you do this, and you're like, so I got from that cone to that cone. In the movie Far and Away, it's Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. He has the fastest horse, so he outruns some people to get the land. But I think her parents sneak on, right, and plant a flag. Yeah, because they were running the horse around like it was tired. Yeah. Sooners.

Oh, it's the bad people. Yeah, so what we're saying is the University of Oklahoma, they are cheaters. The University of Oklahoma is named after cheaters. Yeah. Well, you're talking to Aaron Land, not a lot of people listen. I don't know if that's going to get out that much.

Did you know that was happening the whole time? No, that was great. That was great. Oklahoma's been described as the world's prison capital.

1,079 of every 100,000 residents have been imprisoned. Highest incarceration rate of any state. Higher than any incarceration state rate of any country in the world. Right. Outlaws. Yeah, outlaws. So because of that, that's why you're never- You've been in jail? Not yet. Not yet. I like not yet. You don't have to say no. I don't know. I can't say no. Yeah. Because you don't know. Might be. Who knows? Who knows?

That's what you do. You're rolling the dice. Yeah. I mean, I think I got the facial hair for it. I'm just working one thing at a time. Yeah. We worked out today. I'm on my way. I mean, yeah. I think if you get caught, quit. I mean, I could maybe get some toothbrush tattoos. Yeah.

You know, just baby steps. I think they'd walk in, you'd be sitting there, and they'd be like, all right, we got to go to jail. There's got to be an app for that. Like, you know, like 30 days to a marathon, couch to marathon? Yeah. With a couch to jail? There's got to be an app for that. Oh, yeah. You can just go to jail. Get ready. Be a good TV show. I think the couch is going to jail because you're not going to be able to get away.

is what I've been saying for three jokes now. You would get, so you're, the couch is, it's couch to freedom. Right. Because you're going to jail. You're going to go in there and then it's going to be like, we got to run. And then it's like,

They're going to just go after the other people and come back and get you. We'll swing back around. He'll still be here. There you go. Just let me. Should I get this one? I would get him. That's just these other guys. Those guys are what we call runners. We did. Just go on without me. We worked out today. Yeah. So we got after it. He pulled.

More weight than I did. Yeah. I think it hurt more than me. That's my whole life, basically. That is good or bad. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, you could be. You could be robbing some banks. Yeah. I had a friend that robbed a bank. Really? Yeah. That's cool. Yeah, it was a weird thing. How'd he do it? That's crazy, because he wore a nun's habit from when he watched the movie The Town. Yeah. I mean, it's kind of crazy that he was like, he robbed a local bank from our hometown, and he drove his own car.

And then he drove back to his house. He just didn't. It's like he watched this movie where they're like third generation bandits. They have false DNA, switch cars, a whole plan. They have automatic weapons. They do everything right. And he saw the costume. He's like, I'm just going to wing it after that. I'm just going to figure it out on the fly after that. Is he in jail? He was. Yeah, he's out now. And then he got out.

Like they just came to his house and said, yeah, they just, they just knocked on the door and he, and he answered and he's like, Oh, Oh, I should throw this mask away. Yeah. Oops. Am I still wearing this? Yeah.

Do you rob a bank today? He's like, do you think I robbed a bank today? Does it look like I robbed a bank? Do you guys have any footage of anybody robbing a bank today? Yeah, you actually do. With that... He told me... Did he get money? I mean, yeah. He tried to deposit it in his account at that bank. He robbed and then went to the back and took... Then he went and just stood in the back of the line with the same gun and waited. And he goes, I'd like to deposit this money. Checking, please. Checking, please.

No, he, I had a cigar with him after he, when he got out. Yeah. And he told me, he goes, it's really kind of funny because now like every time there's a bank robbery in the city, I have to immediately think about what my alibi is. Yeah. Because he's got like a parole officer and all this. So he's like, I'm just, I'm always like, like, cause like as soon as there's a bank robbery, he says he gets a phone call from his, from his guy. Oh really?

So he's got to make sure that he's like, oh, here I am. This is me. He's always going to be around people. He's posting on Instagram. Hey, this is me sitting here working out. Yeah. Not robbing a bank. Did he get any money? Like how much did he rob? Did he pass a note or have a gun? No, he just, I think he went in with just like a pistol. Oh. And then do you know how much money he got or? I didn't, I didn't, I don't think he had time to count it, honestly. Oh. It was, it was, I mean, they caught him within minutes.

Yeah. A day. Like, like it wasn't, I mean, it was super quick. Yeah. Yeah. You can't go back home. Like we literally heard it. We heard about it happening and then we saw it was him.

oh y'all put it together it was like bang bang no i mean like it kind of i hadn't talked to people in my high school for a long time and then it just made the rounds yeah you're like oh wow yeah it's like i don't talk to you to talk to you in 10 years i didn't even go to my high school reunion yeah you're like hey i haven't talked to you in 10 years but did you see this why don't you go to the reunion i just i i don't know how many kids into your high school my class is like 500

That's pretty big. I just don't. If it's that big, I get it. Like I'm, I'm such a small class. I was 56 or seven. And so I still talk to most of them. And then I love, I love her. I love it. But I have a small class. I could see 500. I could see you're like, there's no point to it. Like why? Like you had so many people there that you're like,

Whoever you're talking to is like, you're like, yeah, I still talk to the people that I want to talk to. Right. I kind of understand that. I really just didn't because I was doing this, but I wasn't where I wanted to be. And I felt kind of like, so people knew that I was doing it, but I wasn't like, I didn't, I mean, I did live with Deep Paulo, but I mean, I went to the whitest high school on the planet. So they don't even know. I mean, they're like-

Yeah. I have no idea, you know, except for one stoner kid. I had math with one kid in this remedial math class and he's the guy that told me about Mitch Hedberg, which was like amazing. Like he was like the coolest dude. Yeah. In our high school. Yeah. And he probably keeps up with you still and just being like, see how you're doing. I hope so. Yeah. Maybe he's not a fan, you know, could be in jail. Maybe Rob's not.

What's next? The Bridge Creek Moore Tornado of 1999 was the fastest wind speed in the world ever clocked, over 300 miles an hour. Wow. Pretty fast. Yep. That's an EF6. Yeah. Ooh, what's the highest? Is that the highest? No, I think five's the highest, but... That one went six, so it's not the highest. Five's not the highest. Well, I was joking about the six, but it's the fastest ever. Yeah. I mean, when that happened, that one, there's been two that have gone through more that are like...

Yeah. Well, that one when I was there and I left that morning. I kind of think that was the one. That's the one. It wasn't 99, though. Or maybe it was. Yeah, there was one in 2000. The one that, I mean, Kevin Durant was still there. Those guys were still at OKC. And so I was going. I remember I flew home that morning and it came through the town that morning. Because it went through Norman when we were there. Right. And it was like crazy.

What did it do to Norman? And then what was the other town that it crushed? Moore. Moore. And then that was the one that was like crazy. And that was, yeah, the news lady we saw. You made a whole joke. I still think that's the funniest. One of the funniest riffs is still my favorite because in Oklahoma, whenever there's a tornado, they have all these people that are on the ground. And there's like 10 of them. And so what the guy does is he literally just bounces from people to people. And there's these famous storm chasers. There's a guy named Val.

that's like super famous and uh they'll throw them to these people and this one she's now like a weather woman now i forget what station she's on but she would like vows like very calm like all right so we're picking up wind speed over here we're starting to see a little hail and then all of a sudden she'd be like hey can i cut in real quick i need to cut in real quick there's lots of like she would cut in with nothing to say yeah and then they would and then he was like

okay thanks jenny uh we're gonna go back to val val and he goes yeah still here uh just open the same interrupting everybody just like guys can i you just not know what's going on here you're like uh door just opened on its own shut back and you go okay and i just remember we were because we were coming back from the rig and nate was just losing it in the back seat yeah he was like why is this like you're like it was so funny she just went and they're like oh

Oh, that was the same day y'all drove out? Yeah. Yeah. And then we were watching. I think we were listening to the radio. And then they were like playing one of their things. The problem is that we went to see the oil rig in eastern Oklahoma. Yeah. And tornadoes kind of start.

in like the, like the Northwest and they kind of follow the highway, the interstate. So they go like from kind of from Kansas and they follow like Elk city, Clinton. Then they hit Yukon, which is where I'm from. And then Oklahoma city and they go down. So basically they start, that's the creepiest thing. When I worked in the oil field, you would drive down the highway and,

And you'd be coming back to town about 3 o'clock, and you'd see all the Weather Channel trucks and storm chasers. I mean, the guys look like they're going to battle. Yeah. Because they got these big armored trucks and stuff with all the satellites on them. I want to do that.

If someone listens to this, I just mentioned about the golf thing and we've got, we've got, I've got, we've got all your emails about golf and me wanting, like, I do want to go play with them. It's kind of hard right now. I got to play sawgrass because it's sawgrass. But you know, there's a couple of unique ones that I'll just be like, but I've got, uh, this is separate, but I did want to let people know. I do see them. I'm not trying to ignore any of them. Uh, there was a lot of them and I do want to go play, but it's, it's just, we have two shows, uh,

I'm doing eight shows a week. It's like, I've got to also like be like, I can't like, it just takes too much time. So, so does we have one show I can usually do it, but you know, it's very hard, but I do want to, if I can make it work, I'll come play. But same way with storm troop chasing. I want to go do storm chasing. I've always, I've loved it.

And I love watching it. I would love to go see these tornadoes. Yeah, me too. I mean, it would be the best. Yeah, you can all go. We'll all go. Yeah, I'd love it. We'll do a storm chasing episode. That's the new Krispy Kreme Challenge. That's the new Krispy Kreme Challenge. Mm-hmm. We got to go out there. I mean, Aaron looks like he fits the part of a tornado chasing. Oh, yeah. Like, so good. Can I say, on our weather episode, we had an argument over what is scarier, a tornado or a hurricane.

And I believe I took the position that a hurricane is scarier. And they both disagree with me. And I was in Oklahoma City, and a fan of the podcast confronted me about it politely, but said, your position is idiotic. Yeah. Basically, it was just like, yeah, I live in Oklahoma. I know about tornadoes. They are horrifying. Yeah. Okay. And they come out of nowhere, and they can hit anybody. Mm-hmm.

Hurricanes get a two-week notice. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, hurricanes call you. You can take the window up. Yeah. They call you. They give you a shout-out. They send a couple emails out. Now, if you live in an island somewhere. You say tape the window up? Yeah, tape the window up. You could put your house on the market. On a hurricane. Yeah, you tape the windows up so when the wind starts kind of bashing it, if it shatters, it doesn't go all over your stuff.

Tape the windows up. Oh. I love it. That's the hurricane. Just tape the windows up. What are you complaining about? Just tape the window up. Come on. It's a fun time. It's a fun family thing to do. Yeah. Hurricanes are- There's 10 feet of water coming through. Yeah, yeah. If you stay in the house, it's going to be crazy. But hurricanes are just like- And look, I know some people don't get out. There's a lot of stuff like that. But there's usually- It doesn't just appear out of nowhere. Yeah.

I mean, a tornado at night is maybe the scariest thing you ever experienced in your life. When we had one go through here, cause they know that you can't see it. A lady not too far from here, her whole house got destroyed. She got killed. No, it doesn't even know that it's like, at least during the day, you can kind of be like, there it is or something. But I mean, it just, at night it just comes. But the weather that produces tornadoes doesn't come out of nowhere. Like, you know that that's coming. But this tornado does. Like,

The hurricane, they're telling you it's happening now. There'll be like five, four, three, two, now hurricane. You don't just go, here's the hurricane coming, and then it disappears, and then it's over New Orleans. And you're like, golly, where'd it go? We went underwater. And he's like, I've been hiding for a couple weeks. Tornado, you're like, the setting is there.

Maybe it's going to happen. Maybe it's not going to happen. Okay. I mean, I could tell you some tornado horror stories. I mean, I kind of feel like that's Bates territory. I don't want to get too sad. Bad news, Bates. Bad news, Bates. I like it a lot, buddy. I'm sure we got some stats coming up. No, no. I'm not even stat. I mean, just personal things. I grew up in Alabama. We had tornadoes. No, you're not better than them. I'm not. Don't try to be. I'm not claiming that. I'm trying to claim that you went through it. We had a hard time. I mean, Alabama does have tornadoes.

Not as much as we do. We probably do the most. Yeah, you have those. You have ones. I wish I had Oklahoma tornadoes. Golly. No Democratic presidential candidate has won a single county in the state since 2000. Oh, wow. Pretty rare. That's always the funniest thing. I used to do a thing about it, but it was literally like, you know what it's like to have your state turn red?

before the polls even... I talked about how other states are still counting votes. You're counting votes for 15 minutes. It's like, all right, guys, we're good. We're good. We're done. It's red people. We're done. Shut it down. They all really stick to the red thing. We got to keep it there. There's a county in Oklahoma. It's the only county in the nation that borders four states. Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. Wow. That's crazy. All right.

Shove this in my eye. I should know, geographies, usually you don't go for that. It's interesting. It's like, I mean, it's accounting. So...

Like it's not a state. It's like, well, all right. That there's a part of Oklahoma that borders four States. I mean, I thought he was going to come with me with fast food facts where it's like Sonic is from that. Like, you're like, oh man, let's talk about chili cheese dogs. You know, I can talk about Brahms ice cream all day. Like you do all these things. You're like, and he's like, you know, the county, he's a big county guy. I wanted to ease into it. He likes counties. Yeah. Yeah. Who doesn't? He thinks all the counties should break up in America. Yeah.

The center of the universe, as it's commonly known in Oklahoma, is in downtown Tulsa. Oh, we'll be there. You can go visit? It's not literally the center of the universe. It's a mysterious acoustic phenomenon. If you stand in the middle of the circle and make a noise, the sound is echoed back several times louder than it was made. You want to play the video you sent me here? Yeah.

You're standing in the middle of a circle that's caused by concrete benches. You gotta hear it. You gotta hear it. No, there's not. I mean, this is, that's good. We're good. That's what it sounds like. Yeah, okay. I mean. That's kind of cool. We're having local news.

Have you heard of that? The center of the universe? Look, I think it's very cool. Tulsa's famous for a few things. That's not one of them. I'm going to go for... We'll take Harper to there. I'll show her. I'll be in Tulsa this weekend, which is kind of crazy to do this. It makes sense why you're here. But it's like we're being Springfield, OKC, Tulsa, and then OKC again. And most are sold out. I think the added shows have some tickets. But they...

I'll go show Harper this. I'm not saying it's not a cool thing. I don't know if we need to watch a four-minute video on a news podcast. We're not going to watch the whole thing. I would have maybe sped it up to right when the... I just wanted to hear what it sounded like. Yeah, well, I mean, it took us 41 seconds, which is a long time. Nah, I started at 15 seconds in. Whatever you took, it felt longer than 40 seconds. Yeah.

And then it just, you know, I mean, most shows, I feel like when you play a sound, they play this. You go, let's play that sound. They don't go, let's have a little build up to it. You got to give it some context, man. You can't just jump in. But we just did a county thing that brought just the earth down. I mean, people started...

nodding off and sliding into a rail and then we go let's turn it back up man can we get it going here's a local news we're going to explain it all all right i'm gonna try this one lottie williams from tulsa oklahoma is the only person who's ever been hit with space junk in 1997 she was on a walk and was hit by a six six inch long piece of a rocket that fell from the sky

Does it always just come down anywhere on Earth? Usually it's in the ocean. Yeah. But in this case, it hit her. What? I mean, you know the odds of that? It was like one in something trillion. Yeah. It's much more greater than people on Earth. Did she die? No, it didn't even hurt her. Oh, really? Just hit her in the shoulder. Yeah. How big was it? Six inches? Is that what I said? Yeah, six inch long piece of a rock. Did she get a keeper? How does it not hurt you? The message is great. Like a squirrel.

So it was a piece of a ship, though. Yeah, it was a piece of a rocket. But how do you know somebody just didn't throw a screw over the top of a building or something? Well, I mean, I think it landed there, and then they looked at it, and you could tell it was part of a rocket. How confident do you have to be to see a screw fall and be like, oh, I should go get this tested?

I should go start asking questions. I'll be honest with you. If you ever get hit by a screw walking a dog outside, just a common rule should be go get that screw tested. I don't know where you're getting hit by screws so much outside. I'm just saying if I get hit by a screw, I just don't walk my dog in that neighborhood anymore. Yeah. That's how I go. That's all your screw experiences? You go, guys, I get hit by screws every day, and I've never tested one like a loser. Absolutely.

Outside? I mean, in my neighborhood in New York that I lived in, I lived in a Dominican neighborhood, and if they ever made fun of me, I just walked a different way. Like, whenever you walk past a barbershop, they would...

They would do me. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Oh, that's funny. And I was just like, well, I'm just going to walk like a – I'm just going to take a different train home for a while. I like that you didn't want to say they would act like you. No, they would take one of the kids' pillows that the kids sit on the barbershop and they'd put it in their stomach. It's funny. Yeah, it's mean.

But it's funny, though, that you were whispering it, and you're like, well, you're the one that wouldn't want to hear it, and you're the one that's telling it. And you're like, they would do... I don't want to say this, but they would make fun of me quite a bit. And you go, I think I whispered quieter. You don't want to hear it. You don't want to hurt Aaron's feelings. I mean, it's got to be... By the way, this has got to be blowing people's minds that Aaron and I are sitting together. Oh, that is true. By the way. Yeah. Because every... I mean...

I've been tagged in multiple posts on Instagram of pictures of Justin that said Aaron killed it tonight at the show. It's like the evolution of man going across there. Yeah. That's always a... No one knows about that. I feel like he wrote that last night and thought, I got to get evolution of man in there somehow. And then he goes, oh, here's your time. Here's your time breakfast. And then he does it there. You don't know the evolution of man? No.

Yeah, but it's not. It doesn't work there. You talking about them two? It's growing bigger. No, that's not. That doesn't work at all. Okay. Huh? All right. There's ways to make it work, but it's like, it's not that. Okay. He gave it a go. All right. I don't think he would be laughing that hard if it was a killer. Oklahoma City Thunder relocated in 2008. Yeah. Yeah.

He loved it. That's right. Know some other names they're considered calling it? Why are they called the Thunder? I think it's because it has to do with like thundering, well, like weather. Yeah. And then also whenever like a herd of buffalo were running. Yeah. It's the Thunder. It sounds like Thunder. Like Marshall, thundering herd. So basically like why you would think that? So it's like multiple things. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't even know why you're asking this question. That's funny. Yeah. You're the one with the paper. You look at it. It's right there. I was trying to throw you a bone. Why do they call them the eagles? Well, there's eagles, and we just went with that. Yeah. I thought thunder would be just because of the thunder in the sky. Well, you would have been wrong. I mean, it's kind of that. It's a buffalo thing, right? It's only the buffalo thing? I don't know. That's why I was asking Justin. He said both. All right.

The New Orleans Hornets relocated to Oklahoma City after Hurricane Katrina. Got to watch Chris Paul play. That was awesome. And then he came back. These are the facts you found? Yeah. It's not like Oklahoma stuff? Like more like...

I feel like there's the land. Everything I've said is Oklahoma. The claim in your own land is kind of, the land run is crazy. Yeah. Land run is, I thought. Did you hear me mention that? Huh? Did you hear me mention that? Maybe I lost it. I thought we were watching a news story on it.

One of the top minor league ballparks in the country is the Bricktown Ballpark. Yeah. Okay. It's great. It is awesome. Did we go eat at that restaurant? Is that Oklahoma City? Which one? Oh, the Mickey Mantle Steakhouse. Yeah. Oh, so good. Oh, man. We had white bread. Yeah, I'll go there.

When we go to OKC, I still think about it. I'm like, it's still the best steak. I've never had a steak that good. We had Wagyu there, and I was like, this is the best steak I've ever had. And I've even had Wagyu at other places, and I still go, it's not better than that Mickey Mantle restaurant. Well, I always like taking people to eat in Oklahoma because they always think, even like I took you to Empire, the pizza place. And you were like, dude, I was in New York for, and I go, dude, trust me.

Because they have this pink sauce. Empire Pizza is amazing. Brahms ice cream. They have this frozen yogurt that's better than most ice cream anywhere. And you tell people this stuff and they're just like, oh, you're just... Justin took me to a Mexican place. Oh, Alfredo's. Alfredo's was so good, I took the other comic to it the next day. Did not invite me to that, though. Literally blocks away. What are you talking about? You didn't text him the next day and say, Justin, we're going to go eat there again?

Come on, man. Why not? Well, it was a spur-of-the-moment thing. It was like, you want to go get lunch? Yeah, Justin just showed me this great spot. Let's just go there again. The spur-of-the-moment thing is a tornado. It's not a lunch that everybody has to eat every day. That's not a spur-of-the-moment thing. Yeah, how do they get to their table like this? Yeah, I wouldn't give them a fist bump after this. I'll tell you that right now. Oh, I'm going to earn one between now and the end of the show. Yeah, you better get cracking because it's –

Just play more of her. How many views does that have on YouTube? 468,000. Yeah. They could shorten it. They could do the thing. Boise City, Oklahoma is the only city in the U.S. to be bombed during World War II.

Y'all got space junk and that's crazy. World War II, the only city that gets bombed and the only person that's been hit by space junk. And it was a mistake. They didn't mean to do it. They saw the city lights and they thought they were the target they were trying to hit. Who hit it? It was a B-17 bomber training, the US. Oh, it was friendly fire? Yeah, because I was about to say, I don't think they were shooting bombs at us over here.

They were doing target practice and they got disoriented and dropped it on the town square. Were they, but there was, they never fought here, right? It was a training session. Yeah. And they dropped a real bomb? Mm-hmm. Why didn't they just not have bombs on there? Well, they were, maybe it wasn't like the full detonated bomb, but I think they were dropping on a target to see what it would do.

Their goal was to drop it on a target to practice. And so they thought it was the fake town that they built. They saw the city lights and thought it was the target lights because they were doing it in the middle of the night. And they accidentally dropped it on this town. That'd be funny. I don't know if you've ever been to Boy City before, but you're sitting there just like, man, they really built this fake town up. Look at that McDonald's. They even got cars lined up twice. It's like you would think, when was it? World War II? Yeah. I mean, it's just you would think like,

Yeah, it is kind of crazy to do it. It was practice bombs with four pounds of dynamite and 90 pounds of sand.

Okay. So it's a little bit better. Not to do some damage, but not to obliterate a town. Yeah. I mean, I've done as much damage after Chipotle. Yeah. It's one that you fly away quickly and go, get out of here. Yeah, they did a 50th anniversary thing. The pilots did not want to come back because they were embarrassed. Yeah. What? Yeah. The 50th anniversary. The worst mistake of our lives. Are they mad about it or do they like it now?

I might like this town. If they like it, I think I like this town. Did he know when he died or anything? No one died. Yeah, I think I like this town. It's like, you know what? I'm fine with it now. And then that's funny. They go doing a 50th anniversary and the pilots are like, I mean, it's embarrassing. Like what? You know. People would probably love it. They're like, oh man, look. You know, they dropped the... They ruined Kevin's bathtub and then they built us a pool. Yeah. We got a public pool. You just go to those two pilots all the time and you see them and you're like, what happened, man? He's just like, you know, like the...

Guy who runs the marathon in Seinfeld. John Paul, John Paul? John Paul, John Paul. Yeah. What happened? He was like, why did you finish the alarm clock? Because you just want to know, like, what? And he goes, we thought. I don't know. That's crazy. All right. All right. Is that it? I'm rolling. Well, no, I'm just getting warmed up. Oh, good. I was just impressed. I finally got one that you like.

Yeah, yeah. The town of Beaver is the cow chip throwing capital of the world. All right. You ever done that? What's cow chip doing? Cow chip's when a cow does his business in the field, and then the sun dries it, and so you can pick it up, and it's like a perfect frisbee. You can throw it.

You can throw. And there's an actual competition to do it. I mean, a lot of times when you're in your country, you make your own fun. So a lot of kids will go up. But you can play like dodgeball with cow chips. People do it all the time. Yeah, that sounds good. Ooh. God, what's happening? Maybe ship them some iPhones over there.

The movie Footloose is loosely based on a town in Elmore City, Oklahoma. Oh, what's that? They banned dancing. Never seen that movie. Me either. Yeah. I know of it. Patrick Swayze? No. Kevin Bacon. Oh. I thought it was Patrick Swayze too. What's he in? Dirty Dancing. Dirty Dancing. I don't think I've seen that either. Or Roadhouse. I think I've seen Roadhouse. Or Ghost. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. I think that's probably it. That's probably it? I mean, I got more. You want to do one more? Yeah. Find another one. Let's try to end on... How many more do you have? I mean, I've got a bunch, but I've already tried some that didn't work, so I'm a little gun-shy. Oklahoma City's the softball center of the world. That's true. They, I mean, have an amazing...

Like, you know, arena, people come from all over. I mean, you can't get a hotel room downtown because of all the. Yeah. College World Series is there? I mean, yeah. College World Series, the Olympics. I mean, there are so many visors that invade when that stadium is being kicked off. I mean, it's crazy. The Joe Exotic Zoo, it was in Wynwood, Oklahoma. Yeah, you know, I thought it was Florida the whole time.

Well, Carol Baskin was in Florida. Yeah. Yeah. Just, I didn't, you don't think Oklahoma, you think like Carol Baskin was in Florida and you kind of just think it's Florida. And then I just didn't think about it, you know? And then I kind of thought that then you're like, Oh, he's in Oklahoma. He's running for governor of Oklahoma. Yeah. I mean, I remember being in the oil field and seeing those billboards and you're just like, did y'all know him?

I mean, like you knew when you saw the billboards, you're like, what is that? And you look him up and you're like, oh my gosh. Did you vote for him for governor? No, I mean, no. There was like, I was not like, so there's, believe it or not in Oklahoma, there were multiple drive-thru zoos. Yeah. And I was not a Joe Exotic drive-thru zoo. I was a, we had a thing called Arbuckle's Wilderness. So that was my zoo of choice. Yeah. To go drive-thru. So you voted for him.

Yeah. Yeah, that guy from Arbuckle. Yeah. Arbuckle. The buck. Yeah. World's first parking meter was installed in Oklahoma City. Wow. Shopping carts too. Yeah. Oh, wow. There's a woman that owns a restaurant in Norman. Yeah. And I would promote the restaurant. Yeah.

I don't like her very much. Oh, yeah. But her family lineage is shopping carts. Maybe she'll like you. No, no, no. Why doesn't she like you? Oh, well, I just don't like her very much. Why? Just because. You want to start a thing? She wears a big pillow when you're walking. So there was a thing a long time ago.

where, uh, they were doing when I was still in Oklahoma, there was, there was a festival that was gonna allow a comic to come to the festival. And I'm still like, I mean, I'm, I have New York on the horizon, so I want to start meeting people everywhere I can. I'm traveling. I'm literally driving to Kansas city to the improv to do spots. Like I'm driving everywhere to try to get spots. And so I'm like, Oh, this is a good, it was a good festival. Um,

And so I'm like, I'm going to try for this spot. So the whole thing was, is that this restaurant would do like a, it was like an open mic thing, but it was like, they would try to, they would have people like you could win a spot and it was like all expenses. This lady would pay for your hotel, airfare. I mean, festivals, you don't make a ton of money. So this is huge. Right. And so I'm like, And it was this lady. It was this woman. So her thing was she watched open mics every day for a month. Yeah.

And the best five from the open mics would go to like one show at the end. And then she would pick whoever it was. And at that time I was, I was one of the better, like, I was like, I was like, I can, I could legit win this. Yeah. And, uh, and so the first, and I was on the road for two of the weeks. So I only had two shots to do this. And the first time I did it,

She didn't even come in because you just kind of draw a spot. She didn't even come in and see my set. Yeah. And then I'm like, I'm so mad about that. And then I had to wait till the third week. And then during my set again, and I didn't, of course I didn't get on there, you know, and then the third week comes and then like, this is it. This is my last shot. And she's in the back of the room finally. And then I go up on stage and I started doing it and I,

I do my first, like, I don't even do like a joke. I do like a riff and it gets like a good pop, which an open mic is bananas if you can do that.

And I look in the back of the room and she's talking to somebody else. She talked during my whole set. And as soon as I got, she, she came back. Yeah. And then of course I did not even get, I didn't even make the top five in two open mics. Yeah. And, and it was, it was, well, I'm not happy about it. I'm still just, I'm doing, and, and, and of course somebody else that she liked got, and I was just, it was just a real frustrating thing. Cause like I was legit trying to do it and I was doing everything I could. And then people were just like, you know, like,

They didn't care. And it was like, I treated comedy very professionally for like a long time. Yeah. And that woman that is of Sharpie Cart money. She ran a restaurant. Yeah. Well, she's, her family, she got the money to run a restaurant because her family invented the Sharpie Cart and has the patent. Nothing to do with comedy. Yeah. Now. Yeah. And then now she's trying to sit there and throw things around. That's cool. Well, at least you let it go. Yeah. I'm just letting it go.

We can go for two more hours if you want to, too. You want to do another episode? Episode's about restaurant owners that have done me wrong in show business. Another episode of just talking Justin. You got to let stuff go, man. Like, once he uses another one, he goes, this one lady. Can I get a coupon of that thing you were advertising earlier? All right.
