I hope you enjoyed the podcast.

4th of July one. It seemed hot. I read the, I went on the Nate Land podcast Facebook group and people seemed to love it. Yeah. It seemed like their favorite moments were before I came along. That's true. Barry Sanders was up there. Yeah, it was. Yeah. I mean, Barry Sanders was probably, wasn't that like one of the, your baseball story? Yeah, it's a Mount Rushmore moment, I think. Horse divorce and Penguin. Yeah.

Yeah. And if there was a fifth, it would probably have been Civilian Station. Oh, yeah. That's still up there. Yeah. Yeah. Good job. You compiled all that? Yep. Good work, man. All right. This was well done. Thank you. It was a good job. Almost as good as your pitch. These guys had it. I mean, if you thought it was a little Brian heavy, that's why. Yeah. It's all just Brian. Yeah. This is Brian's highlight reel. Yeah. It's Brian being ridiculed. That's true. There's a lot of that. Yeah.

Uh, so let's go. You, here we are. You wear your decked out Nashville sounds. Yep. Double Aaron Bates. We had a little 4th of July gathering over our house and you guys left. Yep. And went to the,

Went to the game. Yep. Aaron has a million hats to choose from. I don't know why he had to wear the sounds today. Yeah, I'm sorry. Well, it's good, though, to support. That's who was there. Hey, you're on a team. We asked everybody that went to wear that hat. Aaron was a big help because he helped me pick out this hat in the pro shop and everything.

I didn't know hat size, any of that stuff, but I had a pro here with me. Yeah. Could you have figured it out by just putting them on? Yeah, but we were on a time crunch, so I would have probably started at three and four eights or something. I was like, Aaron, give me just a ballpark here. Did you name it right away? Could you look at his head and be like, this is what size you wear?

No, I couldn't. You have a deceptively big head. You do. You look like you're barely a seven. You're about a seven and five ace, I think. Yeah. It's bigger than it looks. Yeah. It's like we were like, whoa. You went with a six something first. Yeah. And you go, oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. All right. Yeah.

So, yeah, we came over here. Well, first of all, I stopped on the way here. I've been trying to pitch, but always Aaron and I drove all the way to his high school in Hendersonville to practice. And it rained us out. This is the most Brian thing ever. I go, let's go. Let's go practice a little bit. Maybe get some stuff on camera. They'll be funny. And it's just like a hundred year storm. Yeah.

uh we show up at the the mound that's covered with tarp and we're like this is i go i think your pitch is gonna get rained out yeah which it almost did it did rain on july 4th right there was a weather delay even during the game okay but i mean it's now day of and i've yet to pitch on the way to your house um i stopped at a high school and the mound was covered but i went out there i had one baseball yeah it was the saddest thing you'd ever see i'm out there throwing from the stretch

One baseball, I would throw it to no one. Then I'd go pick it up and walk back. And people are walking past the high school and I'm out there shaking off signs and just throwing. I was so worried about that little boy, that little boy out there. He's got a pretty big head. Yeah.

That big headed boy out there is throwing to no one. And then I came over here and we practiced. Yeah. And you figured it out. Yeah. We had some stuff to work out. I love that they looked and thought that how sad it was, but they also didn't come to help. You know what I mean? They were like, look how sad that guy is. No, they walk faster. Let him, let him go by. Let him be. Get on by.

Came over here, practiced, and got some stuff down. Yeah. And then went. I mean, you would just pitch and run and get the ball. How many times did you do that? Like 12.

It's not hard to get a pack of balls out there. Yeah, I mean, go. It was kind of a... Balls are tough to find. You'd be surprised. Baseballs? Baseballs are expensive, and they're tough to find, like real ones, like the ones you're going to throw at the actual game. Yeah, but I mean, they're like 20 bucks. It's like $20 for a baseball. Yeah, it's $20 not to throw one and go get it yourself. I mean, what's worth the money, you know? Yeah. Time or money out there? Time. It was kind of a game time decision. I just stopped on the way and...

stood on a mound a little bit i knew i was gonna throw over here yeah so you you probably threw 40 or 50 times that day how's your arm feel is it sore it's good it's good but i'm gonna kind of once i get between the chalk and the lights are on that's when i come alive okay so i didn't pitch that great over here you documented it very clearly in that video you posted but do you think you're the only player that's ever done a first pitch that right before threw to no one

Yes. Yeah. Not only that, they sounds gave me four tickets and I just assumed I'd take Aaron. Aaron bought tickets on his own. He didn't want to sit with me. Dusty couldn't make it. There was a, up until almost game time, I was going to be sitting by myself at the game, which I might've been the first person in the history of baseball to throw out a first pitch, then sit alone. Nobody there, which is the corn dog. And kids are like, isn't that the,

Old man that threw out the first pitch? Had the sounds known that, they might not have let you do it. Yeah.

They're like, this guy's really alone. That's going to look bad for us. Yeah. You know that sweet video of that kid that's bullied going around asking for a friend at neighbor's houses? I did see that. It's a very sweet video. I think he could have had someone to throw to. Yeah, because he's a kid. All right. I don't know if that's going to be too mean. I haven't seen that video. That's all I thought. It's a very, bless his heart, it's a wonderfully sweet, you know,

You know, and but it's that's my favorite part of this pitch, Brian. And I was here was, you know, they tell you when you walk out, they read a bio about you. And then at the end, they say, let's see a strike. And that's where you throw. And you decided earlier in the day you're going to throw from the stretch. Right. You weren't going to do a full windup.

So you walked out there and you immediately got in the stretch. And they hadn't even started your biography yet. So you had to just hold in the stretch. We watched the video here. I mean, you walk out, they're introducing you. Crowd's going wild. You immediately get... So you're on the rubber right now, right? Because I wanted to be ready when... And you're looking at a rooster. Rooster!

You're still on the strap. I mean, this is a pitch clock violation. Yeah. See, he stands a little to the outside. People can think that you're winded. I timed it at one point. I mean, that was 18 seconds. That was a very good throw. It was. It was a strike. People don't think so because he dropped the ball, but he has this giant clown glove. Yeah. He dropped my ball, too. And my fastball has so much movement on it. I get it, but.

Look, if I throw a curve, it would just drop off the table. He wouldn't even lay a glove on it. And how about not making a mockery of the pitch by using the mascot? Let's get a real catcher out here. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, squat down, dude. Frame it. Have you ever caught a ball before, Chicken? I was so mad at him, but then I was like, it's a dude in a giant rooster. He can't even see. He's got a 51-year-old man out there shaking off signs while it's 100 degrees and he's in a chicken costume. You've been in the stretch for 20 seconds just standing there.

That's a good pitch. But you said the people behind that are watering the field. I think they could have stopped for a second. You know, at least at least. I mean, there's a full on construction site going on behind you. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, they could have.

But I played it up. I think it's a great pitch, though. I mean, can you show the still photo? Yeah. You took a still of your video. Oh, yeah. Look at that. Wow.

It's over the plate. Yeah. It's a great pitch. I think it's a very charitable angle of how we're looking at it. I thought it was a little low and outside, if I'm being honest. It wasn't a bad pitch, but let's not act like this is a perfect strike. Well, that ball's getting hit for a home run. If there's a batter. Well, that's not what we're even trying to do here. I'm just telling you, though. That's getting yanked. No, it was low and on the, you know, I painted the corner. I'm not going to throw it just right over the thing. Maybe if it's a left-handed batter, you got him. But right-handed, it's getting...

It's out of the park, man. I wish they would have. Yeah. Like we should have seen the little digital box. The center field camera would have been nice. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm surprised they didn't do all that stuff for you. For first pictures, they don't, you know, really dive in. Well, you just suggested a digital box. What?

And then I say, Cedarville Cameron, you act like I'm asking for too much. No, no, I was joking, saying I'm surprised they didn't. Why would they do this for first pitches? Yeah, yeah. I think the point is we're analyzing this more than we probably should. No, we're not analyzing it enough. It's not getting the hype it deserves because it was a good pitch. That's the truth. If you had messed up, it would be a viral clip. Well, this... Next time, aim for the rooster's face. That's the way to go. The funny part is this is probably the last strike thrown for, you know,

first four innings for the sounds. Well, I was getting to, then it was the most breakfast game ever. So then first pitch of the game, the real first pitch, the guy hits it off the wall for triple. And I'm joking like, well, my first pitch was better than that. And then it gets worse and worse and worse. The pitcher gets one out before he yanked.

And the visiting team scored 10 runs in the first inning, which I got to think is Nashville sounds record for most runs in the first inning. They lost 19 to two. Wow.

That would really set the tone. Yeah. It's like, let's get Bates back out here. I know. One time my phone rang and it said unknown caller. And I thought, are they calling me back in? Like, could it be? Yeah. Is it, how are the sounds doing this year? They have a winning record. Yeah. And the Columbus team they're playing has a losing record, but not on, not on breakfast night. Columbus, Georgia. No. Ohio. Yeah.

Yeah, I doubt Columbus, Georgia has a team, do they? Last week you were like, I'm in Albany, New York, not Albany, Georgia. I grew up next to Georgia. I mean, I know all the cities. You think everything's in Georgia town. Yeah. I'm going to Paris. You're like, Paris, Tennessee? Athens. Athens, Georgia? Rome. Man, Georgia does. They got a lot. They do. Georgia's really got it going on. They got all the names and none of the popular ones.

You know, Rome. Well, like, you know, Rome, Rome, Rome is pretty popular. What country is that in Italy? Yeah. Well, it didn't sound right. If you sat with that for a minute, you'd have figured it out. Rome, Italy didn't flow the way I wanted. Yeah. It's so popular because you just use Paris, France flows. Rome, Italy. It doesn't sound like it has the flow.

Rome, Georgia, honestly, has a better floor. Yeah. It's probably more popular. And then in your circles, I would definitely think. Yeah. In your circles, if somebody says, I'm going to Rome. Yeah. In Opelika, if you're like, I'm going to Rome, you're like, oh, yeah, that's a couple hour drive. Yeah. When in Rome. Yeah. It's probably the only place in the world where they have to go Italy, though. Right. Rome, I'm going to Rome, Italy. And you go, oh, okay.

There's probably like a little county section around that has to, that just does it every time someone from there goes to Italy. It's like, it's almost, they go, I don't want to go because it's not worth the constant. We're going to Rome. You just don't tell people. I have an aunt lives on Rome. No, no, no. I'm talking about the real Rome. Yeah. Like in Italy, you don't imagine that happens a lot where they're like, I'm going to Rome today. And they're like, Georgia? Yeah. No. Probably doesn't happen all the time.

at all. I don't know if anyone's ever traveled from Rome, Italy to Rome, Georgia. Maybe. I don't know. That'd be interesting to see. I wonder if they're hitting all the Roams. Yeah. Roaming of the Roams. Would be fun to go, what's your favorite Rome? You know? Yeah. Roam around and find out your favorite Rome. The Rome, Rome. Yeah. So if you live there, yeah, you're a Roman. If you live in Rome, Georgia. Yeah. They have their own little Coliseum.

I don't know. Paris, Tennessee has its own Eiffel Tower. Does it? I know Paris, Texas does. I just went out there to that. There's a Rome, New York too. Oh yeah. That's where Woodstock was. I think Woodstock 99. There you go. You guys have some fun. A little quick trip. Yeah. Rome, New York, Rome, Georgia, Rome, Italy. Is that the only Rome's? Well, I think I can probably dig down and find other ones, but that's enough. Too many. Really? Yeah.

I don't know how much time we have to go down. So awesome. Well, it was fun. Thank you. Great pitch. Better pitch than mine. Yeah. They told me that. Yeah, I agree. It was better than mine. I was very happy because I was, cause, cause when you guys left, I was like, you know, let me know how it goes. And you were like, I will let you know. And then I didn't hear from you for a long time. I thought this must've went really bad. Yeah.

I would have told you right away if it went really bad. I would have sent everybody the video immediately. Aaron made a couple of really funny videos. He's so good at,

doing all that stuff yeah making funny videos yeah stand-ups yeah garbage but you're so good at just and funny videos the amount of time you take to do a video that you just text to other people is impressive hey thanks man yeah use your time wisely everybody's always said that up all night

Did you watch anything last night? No, no, no. I made a Bates video. It took about a three-hour chunk. How long did it take to make a video? That one probably took a while. That one took about 20 minutes. Oh. The long one? The hardest part of it was finding the right clip.

To splice in. But actually doing it. I'm talking about the one you made of me throwing out the first pitch. Oh, that took a while. Yeah, that took a few hours. Yeah. But I like doing it. He left like immediately after. He didn't even watch the game. I got inspired, dude. I saw it in my head, dude. Yeah. You know. Saw the vision. Saw the vision. Said to me, what am I doing? I can't say that's not better time spent than watching them lose 19-2. Oh, yeah. You made the right choice. Yeah, it was definitely the right choice. Mm-hmm. How far do you think it'd be? You could have stayed and watched nine more runs.

That's how 10 after the first inning. That's true. You'd almost be like, well, that's probably about all the runs. And then you're like, no, no, no. You could have watched 11 more runs because the sound's got two. Well, they want us. They want you. You got to go do it now, Dusty. You're the last one. Oh, you've all three done it? Mm-hmm. Oh.

Now, I don't know, but I would. I mean, you know, we might as well complete it. But yeah, you guys all nailed it. Now I'm going to be the one to not do a good pitch. You're the one that doesn't play sports, really. Yeah. Yeah. First cast of fishing line. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You fish. I have fished. Throw a fake ball. No ball. Yeah.

Yeah, do like- A flat ball. Yeah. Frisbee. Go for it. Yeah. Go for it. Yeah. Painted like a ball. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. I don't know if they're into it. So they built all those condos back there, but what do you think, how far is that to hit a home run, you think? You think they're going to be breaking out windows? No. That's a pretty long, that's a pretty long home run. That gets you to the pros. They have metal bats, like if a college team played with metal bats, maybe. Oh, dude. Yeah. No, that sound.

Yeah. It's a good sound. That's a good view, though. If you get one of those apartments and you love baseball, you love, is it minor league? Yeah. Yeah. You love like minor league baseball? AAA. AAA. You thought this might be major league baseball? No, I know it's not major league, but I don't know what they call it. Yeah. It's minor league. Yeah. Yeah. I know it's not major league. Mm-hmm.

I went to, so I was at, I went and did. Should be. Burt's, the fully loaded. And it was, yeah.

It was very fun. That's a baseball stadium, too. Yeah. No, it was this was an amphitheater in Huntsville. OK, but it's like I mean, he's got a real thing going, man. I mean, I saw a layer of the cable golf being him and Chad Daniels. Yeah, he wasn't at that. I mean, I wasn't at that one. But yeah, Jelly Roll is there. Very nice guy. Yeah, he is. Yeah.

And then, yeah, it was a super fun time. Ralph Barbosa there, too. Yeah, very funny. Very nice guy, very funny. Yeah. And this was at a brand new amphitheater there. Mm-hmm. Yeah, the amphitheater's super cool. And it's just, he does a great, I mean, Bert just does a great job. It's like a fun show. It's awesome. Yeah, I really enjoy it. With something like that, though, is it outdoors? Mm-hmm. I mean...

Is it just a party? Are you like really able to like tell jokes? No, you're able to tell jokes. I mean, it is a party, but it's like when you walked out, I mean, they, you know, you're able to tell jokes and their audiences are awesome. Percentages. What do you think? Who, what's like the shirt on to shirt off ratio out there? I don't, it felt like a lot of shirt on. I didn't feel, you know, I didn't notice anybody with a shirt off.

maybe when Burt walked out there, they're out in the parking lot. When Burt goes out there, people get after it. And it's not, you know, it's always guys who shouldn't be doing that. Well, when I worked with him before, everybody that took pictures with him would take their shirt off first. So, I mean, Burt has to rub up against a lot of sweaty shirtless dudes. Yeah. I mean, a lot. Yeah. Look at that. Yeah. Big J. I mean, the whole thing was like just super fun. Syphus. Tiffany Haddish. Yeah.

Yeah, a good time. You also did the NHL awards since we... Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I did that. Oh, yeah. We got to talk about that because we workshopped or you workshopped a little bit what you're going to say. And it changed pretty dramatically. I could not find a good video of it. I saw a few sort of lower quality ones that people had posted. When I posted.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Awful quality. But if you find a good one, let me know. Is it with audio?

Can you hear the audio on it? Where did you post it? From Nateland? Yeah. I think it was just the story, though. Yeah. I may still have it. Yeah. Make it go away in 24 hours. Yeah. I ended up... I did meet... The guy that wrote it was a comedian. Oh, okay. Which you could tell because it was written. It made sense. The way it was written was like... It was a joke. Yeah. But we did... Yeah, I had the thing up with Connor McDavid when I walked...

uh, like someone, I was sitting in the front row. So they had seat fillers. And so when someone get up, you know, it's like someone's come sit down. So we're, I mean, before the show starts, we're in the front row, like Conor McDavid's at the very end. I'm me and Laura in the middle and Darius Rucker and whoever he was with. And so they're, uh,

We're sitting there and then someone comes up to me and they're like looking for, they're like Connor McDavid. And they come to me and ask me if I'm Connor McDavid. And it's just someone that, you know, it's just a lady that doesn't really know. And I was like, no, Connor McDavid is the Michael Jordan of hockey right now. So, I mean, he's a big dude. We look obviously nothing alike.

And so then I just quickly made a little joke about, so then right before I went out, I was like, ah, maybe I'll mention that. You know? I don't think that part's on there. But so that's not. Did that pay off though? Sometimes I feel like I think of a joke, like right as I'm about to go on, I do it and I'm like, shouldn't have done it. Yeah. Yeah. It got laughs. Yeah. It did get, it got laughs for sure. I am presenting the Norris trophy for top defenseman. I, yeah, thank you. A big part of this. It's,

I look, I've never defended anything in my life. So I'm not, you know, I'm very defensive. My wife tells me that, you know, when I golf and she's like, you golf too much. It's like, why don't you back off a little bit? I barely get to golf only a few days a week.

So

here are your finals all right shut that off my television that's well done yeah uh it was uh yeah it was fun it was fun like in the moment do something live like that uh and yeah and it was like i was happy like that's something you gotta work on to get better at being able to do that like like it's something that like uh

You know, you're like, all right. Like, it just takes years of... Yeah, also not a comedy audience. No. No, so you're like, I could bomb super hard. Yeah. And, like, they were even telling me, like, before I went up, they're like, if you don't get a laugh, like, you know, it's like, people are... Who's paying attention? Right. But when I went up, I mean, being at home helped. There's obviously a lot of Nashville people there, so...

And then I did that beginning thing with Conrad David. And then so that brought him in. It's like and that was a very in the moment. I remember Chris Rock said told me once, like I was doing panel for the first time. And he was like, just watch the show. He's like, because you're going to end up like just he's like, make everybody. And I still I've done it where I watch the show. I have not yet to bring something up about it.

But he's like, just sit in the green and watch the show. Like, I'm sure something, someone's going to say something that then you can come out and be like, Hey, this thing that, you know, and then you kind of go off on that. And like, that's where Chris Rock's very good at. So you see this, this picture of the Tennessee and chips for you. Yeah. Yeah.

That's Laura talking to Barry Trotz in the background. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. I talked to Barry Trotz and, uh, and you look, uh, yeah, very mad that she's talking. Yeah. It looks like that guy asked me something. I go, what'd you say? Yeah. Uh, can you post for a picture real quick? Well, that's when you're the level of where I'm at versus what they don't really need a picture of me. You know, they're like, I'll do it to be nice.

I think he's asking me, do you mind if I take a picture? And I'm trying to... And you're like, what? Yeah, what'd you say? And I go, oh, yeah. And he goes, I already got it. Yeah. You go, all right. That's fun. Oh, good stuff. Yeah, it was good. Laura looked great. And it was... Talk to the... Yeah, Barry Trotz. Yeah, I mean, it was super fun, man. And it was fun to get to do it. Conor B. David. So afterwards, I was like, I'm going to... I was going to try to say...

like hi to him because i made the joke about him somebody's not gonna make a joke about him i make fun of me but i was just gonna be like hey man just you know cool to meet you i mean he's won three mvps i mean he's he's the he's lebron right now in nhl and uh and then i went up i told one nhl guy i was like i was trying to say hi to conor david and they were like oh he's a big fan of you

And he goes, here, let's go back. So I go back to where he's taking pictures with the Hart Trophy and all the trophies he's won. And then I just go back and meet him. And I was like, oh, hey, I was just messing around. He's like, I was happy to be a part of it. I'm a big fan. Then he asked to take a picture of me. And then we left. All right. Yeah. That's pretty cool. Big time. Yeah. Yeah, it's very cool. It's kind of crazy. You're like, you know, you just think these worlds would...

Not in a million years. I bet they'd never even heard of me. Yeah, I don't expect anything. Is he from the US? No, he's Canadian. But it's... Yeah, I mean, it's funny. We look nothing alike. But it was... Yeah, and that suit is...

It's barely, I like the suit. It's barely hanging on. It's, it's, uh, suits are tough. I feel like people will make fun of a suit no matter what, no matter how good it looks, people will make fun of it. My, my suit is at the, uh, fire code limit. You can't fit one more person in your, uh,

You're just like, all right, that's it. Because what about one? I promise you, we can't do it. We've already got too many in. We're above the fire code limit. We're above the one that's written fire code limit. But I know what the real fire code limit is. And we can't. That's it. But that's the thing with suits now, right? They want it to be tight.

They do. They think it looks better. I mean, if you zoom in, it doesn't help, but it's like the natural on TV. They do want you to, uh, yeah, be a little, I gotta, I gotta get back on it. I'm, I'm, I'm in a horrible place with my, I've not been eating good. Uh, you know what you should have wore? What? Viore. Oh yeah. Get yourself some of the most comfortable and versatile clothing on the planet at viore.com slash Nate. The whole podcast crew love their Viore.

Even Dusty loves Viore. I do love Viore. Matter of fact, I just bought some more shorts. The short, I don't get the one with a liner in there. I'm sure those are great, but the regular shorts, I love them. And I got my wife like three pair. She loves them now. I have the liner ones. Okay. See, I've not, I love those. Once you try a liner, you'll be like, yeah, I'd like to do this. It's the best. I almost did it, but I've not done it yet. It's like wearing swimming trunks. I mean, you're just like,

You're out there loving every minute of it. It's like, yeah, it's awesome. I got the jacket and the shorts on. Okay. See, I love it. I mean, I'm- I wore the jacket on stage at Bert's show. Okay. I got a Viore tank top that I like to wear, too. I mean, it's like, I'm all about it. I like these suits. You don't? You like these better? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I like them better than these.

I was 21. I didn't even know this basketball was happening. I was probably blacked out somewhere. Yeah. That's quite a draft. You weren't following the draft.

Yeah, I'm trying to think who is in. Yeah, LeBron's draft is crazy. Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony. Is that Chris Bosh back there too? Wow. A few whites that didn't pan out in the back. Is that Vince Carter? Looks like Vince. I don't think he was in that draft. He was earlier in that. I had no idea those three guys were in the same draft though. That's pretty awesome. They ended up on the Miami Heat, won some championships. It was a big. Yeah. That's pretty fun. I didn't know that. Yeah.

Yeah. All right. Were y'all anything that you wanted to say? Nah. Oh, I did. Since the last podcast, I did the Grand Ole Opry three times. Oh, wow. And it was great. Well, I'd already met Vince Gill and Amy Grant before, but they remembered me, and that was a lot of fun. Yeah, that's fun. Yeah. And it was great. Jeannie Seeley was there that brought me out for the first time at the Opry, and that was fun. Yeah.

I'm at T.G. Shepard. I met a lot of country classics, and it was great. I love the opera. Now, Ginny Seeley's been on, I think, everyone I've done there, but she's never brought me out. They usually just introduce you from the side. What was the... Well, she was kind of that... She was like the emcee that night? I think so, yeah. They used to run the show differently, I think. I think they would have an artist host...

a portion of the show when you made your debut that's how the show worked and now it's a little different this might be how Bates figures out he's never been on the Grand Ole no I think about it he's like usually perform behind the curtain yeah there's a food court it says Opry Mills there's no audience right because it's radio right

but I got a new joke I've been doing about ready to unleash some family jokes. I've been protecting my family for a long time, but I'm ready to unleash it. And I did one, uh, all three times. And it, it's a little edgy for the Opry. It's not an edgy joke really, but a little edgy for the Opry. And, uh,

They clench up every time, and it is a blast. The people backstage at the Opry, they love it. They're dying back there. Isn't that fun when you can hear the band kind of getting into it? There's a band? I mean, yeah. That's who matters, the people in the back, not the audience.

Let's read some comments. Names, episode comments. Julia Reed. Hey, bears. The surname Reed is of English origin and means red. My husband can trace his family heritage all the way back to the Norman invasion. And back then it was spelled red for their red hair and beards. Over time, it morphed to Reed. And then upon coming to the new world, changed yet again to Reed with two E's. Oh, back to the original one.

I love this topic. You're all knocking on the park, as always. Well, the original was just R.E.D. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So it was R.E.D. and they changed it to R.E.E.D. With the R.E.I.D. in the middle there. I feel like I still know more R.E.I.D.'s than 2E's. Yeah, that's for sure. All the way back to the Norman conquest of the 11th century. Do you know about that? Mark Norman? Yeah, the Mark Norman invasion. I don't know about it. That guy's everywhere. What was it? I don't know.

William the Conqueror. Heard of him. Heard of him, yeah. William's claim to the English throne derived from his familiar. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Good stuff.

I don't know enough to talk about it. That's what they, I mean, 1066 is like, they have like, they still have like a church up from 1066 over in London. Yeah. Like it's insane. Yeah. Like the oldest building in America is, doesn't even come close, right? It's like a couple hundred years old. Yeah. There might be some Native American like stuff that's like. Well, like Harvard's been around since the 1600s. They still have some buildings.

Yeah, but I mean, still, it's 1066. Yeah, but I guess I took your couple hundred years old literal. Couple hundred, 400, you know, same thing. Yeah. Yeah. Brad Healy.

Heard a comment last week about not being able to name a kid a name that is a royal title in Australia. This is true. We applied to have our first son named Duke and were turned down, so we named him Duke. Pronounced the same, the poor kid will just have to spell it out for people for the rest of his life. D-E-U-K-E. I love the name Duke, but really, way to do that to yourself. Duke. Duke. Duke. You could have gone Du-kay. Du-kay.

But I love the name. That would be spelled the same way. I love the name Duke. Had I not named my daughter Daisy, my son would be named Duke. Yeah. Yeah. He's the D-E-U-K-E sounds. That's how you do it. I ought to put a little accent over the E. Mm-hmm. That's all you got. Then it's Du-K. Du-K. Mm-hmm. Oh. But Du-K. I don't know if that. Du-K. Yeah.

Why would they allow that? It's a totally different word, different letter. Duque is a lot like Duque, though. That's not really what you want your son to do. Well, they're all pretty close to that. Well, yeah. But Duque, that sounds like Joe Dirt. Dirtay, you know. I think they wanted to class, you know, after Brad, they were like, let's class it up a little bit, you know. Let's give this boy a chance. I think Brad...

said that he had another son named Dustin they called Dusty and they were talking about naming their daughter Daisy but didn't want to do it because of Daisy Duke same as you wow alright Brad this guy's in Australia that's the Australian Dusty yeah uh Withany Milligan Withany my name is Withany my name my maiden name is Anderson and for my dad's entire life he was always having to correct people when they mistakenly spelled it so he's constantly saying it's Anderson with an E

Anderson. So it's like typically with an O. Oh, yeah. Oh, so the correction wasn't Withany. Yeah. Withany. It was the Anderson problem. He said, there's so much that when my mom told him they were expecting a baby, I came up with the name Withany. My name is truly the best dad joke there never. Withany. Oh, hilarious. There never was. Though it doesn't make much sense after I got married and my husband's name is Milligan.

With an E, Milligan. Wow, that's pretty fun. With an E. I was making fun of that, and deep down still am, but that is really fun. With an E. With an E. With an E, Anderson. With an E. Yeah. Yeah. With an E, Milligan. With an A. You know, with an... Yeah. That's the... That's their son's name. Yeah. With an E, Milligan with an A. With an E is not a bad name. You call it Wit, probably.

Yeah. With a knee. You know, it's like. I didn't think of it like that, but I thought I didn't think of it. That's really. Yeah. Well, the name like Dusty, people always want to write Dustin when I go order a coffee there. So I go Dusty with a Y and that confuses people real because they're like, yeah, they think that like I'm like a Y at the beginning. Dusty. Dusty with a Y. They just they're like. So did you think about naming your son with a Y? Never crossed my mind.

This is great. Yeah. But do you... So when you get upset if they put Dustin? I don't get upset about it, but I just don't know why they can't hear what I'm saying. Yeah. Dusty. And then it's Dustin. I think you hear name... Like, it's like... I feel like Starbucks has got to a point... I don't have... You know, where it's like... They're just like... There's so many... Like, it's like just...

It's like, how much time can you be like, what is it? Yeah. I'll say Nathan instead of Nate because Nate, sometimes they don't hear it. So I'll just say Nathan. So it's like the least... Like there's no...

Aaron has a system that he likes to use. I always say Doug because there's no follow-up to Doug. I think, Dusty, you're a lot to take in in a split second. Yes. They work and they look up and they see you and then you say Dusty and they're like, what? Yeah. Yeah. They want you to be Dustin because Dusty's going to rob this place, but Dustin...

Well, I do think sometimes that- He's going to get in his car and go home. I do think sometimes that they're like, did he say Dustin or Dusty? If he said Dustin, I don't want to write Dusty. I feel like they think they're going to offend me. Yeah. So they go safe with it. Air on the safe side. Yeah. D-dog. Tom Etton, at the risk of stating the obvious, Monty Python produced an entire film based on the life of a biblical era Brian.

featuring much irreverent humor, including a crucified Brian singing, always look on the bright side of life. Yeah. So I've never seen Life of Brian, which my parents wouldn't let me watch a lot of 1970s British humor based off,

making fun of the Bible. Yeah. I did try it because so many people sent us that. It's on Netflix. I watched 20 minutes of it. I couldn't do it. Yeah. It's... I do like the old British humor, but I don't get into that one either. I like British humor. This was so... The accents were so thick. Less than all the cheesemakers. Yeah. Have you seen it, Life of Brian? I had seen it. I did not make the connection in the moment, but once somebody said it, I was like, oh, I haven't seen that movie. Yeah.

It wasn't for me, but... I can't get into making fun of the Bible, but I like some Monty Python stuff. The Holy Grail? Yeah. Yeah. All right. Uh...

There. Yeah. Steve, Stephen Kelly. I can't believe the first time Nate takes notes for this podcast is so we can stumble through the plot of a below average 23 year old action movie. Classic Nate Lane. Let's go, folks. I know I try. I've never I've never done. No. I thought I thought this was funny. And I was like, I don't remember to say we were waiting so long to film or something. So that's what I was like. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Uh, Stephen McMillan. Great name. My parents, that is a good name. Uh, my parents named me Stephen Charles, Harold McMillan. Still not bad name, but the person writing it down spelled Harold H A R L O D. Oh wow. Harlod. Harlod. Harlod. My mom noticed it and wanted to change. They said they had to charge. They had to charge her. Long story short. She kept the Harlod for 20 plus years. And both my sisters took great joy in calling me that growing up. Love the pod guys.

That's crazy. Someone can make a mistake and then you're like, hey, well, that's wrong. And then they're like, well, how much does it cost? Yeah, it wasn't even the parent that wrote it down wrong. It was whoever was transcribing it. Yeah. And when it's a mistake like that, they should give you the freebie. It's like, you thought I meant Harlaud? Yeah. Not Harold? Yeah.

That would be so my family, though. The wrong name. And we're like, we can't afford right now. He ain't going to give you $25. So for 20 years. For 20 years, for the rest of his life, he's going to live. You know what?

He's a hard log. I like the name. The more I say it, I like it. It's different. I wanted to go four names with it. I thought it was too much. I found out that I had a great aunt or something who named her kid. Her last name was Denny. She named her kid Franklin Delano Roosevelt Denny. FDR Denny. She did the full. I mean, I guess he was president during that time. So she went like full on. Yeah.

But it's like, that's a lot of names. Well, times have changed. Imagine naming your kid after the current president. Yeah. Just ever. It'd be weird. It'd be crazy. Yeah. Yeah. That kid would be hated by half the country no matter what. Yeah. Everywhere he goes. Yeah. Dr. Jacob Van Laan. Might be Jacob. Dr. Jacob Van Laan.

My legal birth name was Jacob Jan Grady John Michael Dakota Van Laan. Wow. Jacob Jan Grady John Michael Dakota Van Laan. My parents were a product of the hippie era, so they've always been anti-establishment, anti-government, off-the-grid types. So the story goes that when I was born, my mom tried to give me two middle names, and apparently the nurse told her she could only pick one. So she responded that I was her kid, and she could give me however many names she wanted.

I love that. I love your parents. Yeah. I love that your mom was like, you know what? I'll do whatever I want to do. There's a difference between Australia and America right there. Right. Australia said, well, we can't name our kid Duke. And then this one said, I'll give my kid as many names as I want, or I'll give it 12 names. I love Mrs. Von Lawn.

I think he said she went around the room and just everyone who was in the room at the time just said, pick a name. And everyone just gave him a name. Wow. That's a crazy way to name a kid. Jacob Jan Grady John Michael Dakota Van Lant. I don't, the rhythm of it, I don't mind. I don't, I don't know that I care for Jan being thrown in your name all of a sudden like that. Jacob Jan Grady. I don't know. Short for January. Jacob Jan Grady John Michael Dakota Van Lant. I like it. He's a doctor now. Yeah.

Yeah, I like it. I like the whole thing. People just don't want to be told, you know. I just want to see your driver's license. Well, he says was, so apparently he maybe had it fixed. Yeah, I don't know.

There was a guy, someone else posted they had two middle names because their dad thought that would avoid the draft. Like somehow it would mess the government up when they're going through the process. They want to stay off the radar. Yeah. I thought you'd appreciate that. Any evidence on whether it worked or not, though? Well, we haven't had a draft in about 50-something years. So when he was born, probably there was drafts. There was always a chance of one. Yeah. Still there. You sign up for it. Hunter DiPaolo.

I went to college with a guy who always introduced himself as Devin Foster Sr. Since we were all about 19 at the time, someone finally asked him one day in class if he really had a son. He looked at us and just said, not yet. That's funny. He's getting ahead of it. Yeah. It's a guy that gets it. Heather Crawford. Just thought I would give you the real reason Picabo Street was named.

She was named after the very small town in Idaho called Peekaboo, where I was born and raised. It is in Blaine County, where she lived and skied in Sun Valley, Idaho. My mother was friends with her hippie parents, and my mom asked them one day when they were at her house, when are you guys going to name that baby? Why not name her Peekaboo? And so they did. True story. Wow.

That's not the story that Peekaboo Street shares, but I'll have to trust Heather. Does Heather Crawford put that period in her? I think that was just a mistake. Oh, okay. That's a real power move. Yeah. Putting punctuation in your name. Heather Crawford. You better take a beat after you say my name. Yeah. The best of episode comments. Kel Horvath. Next week's show needs to start off with a pop quiz to make sure Dusty watched the episode to catch up with the lure.

All right, Dusty, where did Aaron land come from? Yeah, I'm going to be honest. I'm just going to be honest. I didn't watch it. I could, you know, I could beat around the bush, but you'll know it's a lie. What does Nate do for a living? Uh, well, I believe he's a standup comedian based on some of the stuff we've talked about. Yeah. Couldn't be a professional golfer though. I'm not sure. You don't know which one of these cameras is Aaron land. No, I'm guessing this one, the main one. Uh,

Okay. Yeah. Okay. Oh, because it's pointed right at Aaron here. Mm-hmm. It's Aaron Land. That's kind of the Dusty Land camera now, too, though. Was it Dusty Town? Dusty Town. Yeah. I'll share it. Yeah. You are on screen for Aaron Land, just so you know. I'm a main character in that show. In Aaron Land. Yeah. You never known that you were. Yeah. Yeah. You're like the Truman Show. Evan Hegel.

I will say this feels unearned for anyone who listens to this as their first episode. I had to judge through each of these episodes, get to these laughs. And I think new listeners should have to too. Yeah, I agree. It's a fair point. Fair point. Work for it. Yeah. Uh, I did the other night. I was thinking about the Truman show. Like, can you imagine if like, if that was real, like you ever, you ever just sit there and you're like, what if you are, well, after that movie got released, there was a surge of people, uh,

that that's what was happening. Yeah. It's like it's documented. There's a rise in that all across the country. People go to their therapist or their doctor and be like, I think I'm on a TV show. Yeah, people thought it. But now there are reality shows where that kind of happens. Jury Duty, that show that was just on Amazon, I saw an interview with Ronald, who's a doctor,

who's the star of it he's the guy who's being truman showed essentially and he said for weeks maybe months after it was done he was would have freak out thinking am i still being filmed yeah am i still on the show yeah it's probably a lot to deal with yeah yeah yeah that's a lot to and then you don't know if they're ever going to come back and bring it back or you never know it's popular so they go like let's do a season two exactly get him again am i already being filmed for season two

Yeah, that is tough. Cause then it's like, was he happy that he was on it? I think so. Actually, you know, he's a fan of dusty. I was going to say, isn't that crazy? Did you know that? Have we talked about that? I don't think so. Do you know this show? Jury duty? No, it's where it's a show about jury duty and everyone's an actor except for one guy. Okay. And,

And I went to the guy's Instagram, or my wife did, and scrolled down, and he's a Dusty Slay fan. All right. He was at one of your shows in San Diego. A picture in Acme to say we're having a good time. That's what I'm talking about. You're going to watch the show now. Yeah, I will check it out. This was the guy who didn't know it was filmed? Yeah. Yeah, I like that guy. Probably a little paranoid. Yeah, he's more of a Dusty fan than ever. Government's watching. Probably trying to come to bond with me. Yeah, he's in now. Yeah.

I get it. Yeah, that is weird that you'd always would just be like... You just really have to have some trust and you don't know. If any situation, like anything that happens weirdly, you go return something and it becomes a problem. You're like, all right, dude. You're like, are y'all filming something? And then everybody's like, are you insane? You think you would watch a show like that if it were on? Just seeing...

I mean, well, everybody watched Jury Duty. I've not watched it yet. I mean, if there were a Truman show. A Truman show. 24-7.

Well, Big Brother was kind of that. They just knew they were in there. They knew they were in there. But I mean, it's the idea that you're watching a regular guy. Like he lives in a bubble and he's been there since he was a baby. And then they do. I could see them. I could see eventually happening. Like eventually it's just in the futuristic world. We just get so detached from growing up like a regular person that you end up paying to watch regular people live in this like bubble life.

Oh, that's an angle of it I hadn't thought about. Yeah, like you're just like, you know, it's it's you're say we're in VR worlds and you're just like or whatever it's going to be. And then you're just like, oh, we're going to watch.

here's a here's a kid that grew up in this like a zoo yeah because i mean you're fine with zoos i know it's animals but like once you get you know it's like i feel like stuff's getting so uh what's the desensitized to humans even yeah no one's even looking at people don't look at people as like a person and so it's like eventually when is that going to click over till you go like yeah yeah i don't

I'm just watching a video of this. I mean, 50 years. I don't know. Yeah. Could be like, why not? Wow. Yeah. Yeah. I think about sometimes if I'm having like a boring day, if I didn't do anything that day, I was like, if this were the Truman show,

this would be a tough episode. Like not a lot happened. They'd have to spice it up. Like there'd be, that's when I think you can know. That's when they would send the friends over. Yeah. They would send that buddy over to go, let's have a six pack. Yeah. You know? Right. Or they'd be airing a best of that day. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think you would always have stuff going on. You'd have to like, that's when you can tell you're not on it when you're like,

When you got two days on the couch, you're like, I'm pretty safe. You're just like, oh man, I think my show got canceled. Oh, your show is... Aaron Land has been off the air. Aaron Land, no one's watching anymore. They can't see it. Yeah, imagine that. You think that you're being filmed and then you're not anymore, but you're still like doing stuff to entertain the camera. Yeah.

It stopped years ago. You're like, still think the show's running? Yeah. Well, I mean, it's like a prank video. I mean, like, we watched that. So if you get a little taste of something, then eventually when you just go, you're watching Big Brother, you're watching these celebrities live and all this stuff. Celebrities, when punked, was such a big deal. They're probably always worried that it could happen to them. Oh, yeah. You're just on edge. Yeah. At all times. Is...

Like I've been, you see those clips online of like people doing pranks where they act like they will fight a guy or they talk about it. And then the person like, then hopefully the person just beats them up. But I mean that, like I'm saying like that, the kid that does that,

does not think that other person is a person i agree he he really is just has a zero empathy empathy at all and so he's you know they're on the phone going uh i'm gonna fight this guy whatever and then the guy fights and then they yell at the guy for overreacting going it's a prank dude calm down and you're like i mean that person is psychotic really like they have no

in the world that you're like, that's just a guy walking down the street and you're just trying to like be annoying and film them. And I love seeing prank show people get punched.

oh yeah it's great fun it is it's it's it's very great and satisfying but i mean there's so many people it seems to be doing that kind of stuff so uh you know you look at like yeah if you look at social media i mean people don't think these people people film people go and look at this fat guy look at this guy like and they do and they just post it and can go viral you're like you're not you're not treating that person as like a person dude like it's

You know, and look, I've made fun of people, but he's here. And he knows it's happening. He doesn't, but he's here to defend himself if he wants to. It's not like, yeah, you're going to make jokes. No one's. I'm not saying like I'm not trying to like it's perfect, but it's like it's you got it. It's a slippery slope of just being like, when are you going to, you know, you see like war videos just pop on social media. You're watching this guy get blown up and you're like.

You know, it's like, man, I don't see that. And you're like, I mean, I don't even... You're like, you don't even care. And that should be on the... That should be the main news. That should be on like 60 Minutes. It should be like, can you believe they blew this up? It's just a tweet you scroll past. Yeah, and you just gotta go buy it. Yeah, there's like a... There's YouTube videos about this, like Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia, where you're just... Like, I've watched...

hours of this stuff and it's just people on drugs and i'm like it's so sad but i'm like i can't take my eyes off of it because i'm and they're not necessarily making fun of them they're just showing it yeah just like well that's how disconnected yeah and that's what's the problem is people are so disconnected from a reality and then the people are watching that they can only see they see that and they think all right you're either me or you're that and they forget that there's

There's all people in the middle and there's all this other stuff, but they, they really look at it as like, you know, it's like the rich people or it's just your live on that street. Right. And there's no in between. There's no just a single mom or this or that. It's like, yeah, yeah. It's crazy. That's the saddest thing. Uh, Cody Quinn.

You got to follow this, all that. I'm a police officer in the New York City suburb, and I was just listening to the best of three years podcast. I had to transport a gentleman back to the station, and my phone reconnected with the car Bluetooth, and the podcast automatically continued playing.

It was right at the beginning of the penguin highlight. And the guy in the back waited about a minute before saying, man, is this some kind of joke? I replied, well, they are comedians. That's awesome. You know, see, we're just talking about all that. We're in the.

We're in the police cars. Really starting to get a new audience there. Yeah. Maybe that guy is in jail now sharing this podcast with his friends. Maybe he got out and went and found it. He goes, I got to find this one podcast I used to listen to. So if he's out, you know. Congratulations. Try to keep it on the up and up. Aaron, you know what time it is?

uh, I've, I've, I've been back and forth. I've been working with, uh, Jude Lanahan. He's at the Grove here in Nashville and I've worked with him for a few years now. And so, uh, we came and really got work done. I'm going into this, like I'm trying to be real legit and, uh,

You know, not legit. Like, so they do this. I mean, it's just celebrities playing. I don't like, I'm not expecting like Tony Romo. They posted odds. Vegas has posted odds. Oh yeah. So if you pull up Westgate for that, it'll show the odds are, I saw your odds this morning, but betters don't know that you've been working with this new guy. So it could, it could change the odds. Yeah. Well, they're, uh,

I've been working with them for a while, but they don't know that I set. Last night we did about a three-hour session. Yeah, they don't know that. And, I mean, I went in and worked on a good thing. I'm at a point of just finding the right feel. Yeah, Charles Barker's a ton. I'm like right in the middle. There's one I saw where they had all of them listed. Yeah, I'm right in the middle of the odds, I think. You were. I don't think it's anything crazy. It's just directly in the middle.

Yeah, I mean, you were... I'm going to put it all on Charles Barkley. What are his odds here? A million to one. You were ahead of Larry the Cable Guy. So we just retweeted this. So they have the odds in a newspaper out there betting 500 to one. What does that mean? It's 500 to one for me to win it.

It means if you bet $1, you'd win $500. Dude, I'm ahead of like... If I bet $1, I'd win $500. Yeah, I got to beat all these people. Am I ahead of every comedian? I'm ahead of me and Baker Mayfield are tied. Go back one.

We've got, I don't see any other comedians here ahead of you. Yeah. Larry Fitzgerald, 300 to one. Tim Brown, Jerry Rice. Yeah. Brett Baer. Patrick Mahomes. Who's who? Tony Romo, he's won it three times. He's three to one odds. Yeah. He should have been a golfer, huh? Yeah. Brian Ehrlich. He tried. Did he? Yeah.

Yeah. That would be a big one. What do you put $10 down? You win what? $5,000.

That's pretty good. If I put 10, I'd be pretty mad. I didn't put a hundred down. I might as well throw a hundred if I'm putting 10 down. Yeah. Why not go to come from bright dive into your, what is it called? Like trust fund. Yeah. You think you can open it up? You think you can open your trust fund up? Just reach under the couch, pull out a spoon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. This week, I think we're talking about cars. All right. All right. I love cars. Yeah. You do? I'm not a car guy, but I do love them. I like cars too. I would like to become a car guy. What's the difference between a car guy and a guy who loves cars? Well, I think I have a type of appreciation love.

You know what I mean? Like, I'm not working on them, but I like that. I love that they exist. You respect people that do work on them? Well, yeah. Okay. But I. I wish I could work on them. Yeah, me too. I wish I knew more about them. I really like driving. Like, you know, I think it's, I guess I wish I knew. I don't know how much everybody knows everything about a car, but. Well, when I found out that we were doing this, it made me want to ask you guys, like, what were your first cars? What's the first car that you got?

Mine's a Mazda 626. Oh, yeah. Called Old Blue. That was pretty fun in high school, huh? That was a nice car back then. I mean, no. Maybe it still is. It was a 1985 Mazda 626. No, not...

It was like, I was the car that made fun of it. Oh, okay. I remember a guy with an old blue 626. I loved it. It looked nice. It was a good one. It looked great. It was in 1997, so it was in 1985. And stick shift. Yeah, I enjoyed it. Old blue is, everybody knew the name. Had a tennis ball on the...

stick shift thing because it was so sticky because all the tape came off. It's like just such a... Was it a manual stick shift? I like that instead of the eight ball shifter, you had the tennis ball shifter. Yeah, just cut it so we could afford it. Random tennis ball. Found one, just cut it, plopped it on.

I've known people who've named their cars. You called yours old blue, but that sounds like more, I mean, like they named their like name. What'd you have? My first one was a 1979 Chevy Nova. Okay. But this was 1979. Yeah. So rolled off the, rolled off the lot. Yeah. Now I've only had, I think I may have said this one before. I've only owned five cars in my life. I keep a car for a long time. What color was your Nova?

Originally silver. By the time I got it, it was gray. Okay. What year did you get it? It's a cool looking car, right? Yeah, I wish I had that now. Oh, yeah. If you had that now. But I mean, back then, it probably wasn't. This wasn't vintage looking back then. But this would be, yeah, right now. Retired. It would be awesome to have that car. Yeah. It did not look like that. I mean, that's so shiny. I would love an old car.

I really like one of these with the seat that goes all the way across. Yeah. Bench seats. Does it have a radio in it, Brian? Yeah. It was like 86 or 87 when I had it. Just the two dials that you turn, volume and the channel turner. Did you buy it or was it someone's? No, it was my parents handing it down. Air conditioner in it?

I probably didn't work. Yeah. It may have had it. Was the top canvas sagging? Yes. Yeah. I love that. I love that in a car. Got the windows down, it flaps. Yeah. Yeah. When you're going down the highway. Yeah. How was the windows? Was the thing still on there?

I think so. I drove a car for a while. They had to roll up with a pair of pliers. Yeah. The handle would come off. Yeah. Yeah. You had to pull it. You need two hands to get the window. I pulled the window up. Yeah. I, the other car I got after the old blue one, we called it new blue and it was my parents, old Honda civic. And it was still, it was a manual and it was, uh,

And it had all like, you know, no power windows. Oh, yeah. And then very normal not have power windows when I was driving. Oh, yeah. Like it was, I mean, with my group, you know, that I was with, I mean, the guys that, people that had money all had power windows. Uh-huh.

But I mean, I didn't have, I just thought I would never get power when, you know, I just assumed like, I just, I would get power. I never even thought. That's like a flying car at that point. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, well, like kids now don't even know if you do this, they don't know that that's rolling. Oh yeah. Yeah. That's an outdated mind for roll the window down. Yeah. Would you know it? Yeah. That's my, um,

My first few cars had... What was your first car? 2003 Chevrolet Malibu. Okay. Gold. All right. Yeah. Manual windows for sure. Stick shift? No. I've never driven a stick shift. Okay. I don't even know how it works. I don't know. It was cheaper to buy a stick shift is why we had to do a stick shift. And my parents had their old... I mean, they bought... My parents bought a car. When they were young, they went and got one off the lot, like just a typical...

You have no money, no credit, no anything, but you get talked into, oh, yeah, we can do this. So they do it the cheapest way. When I was a little kid, they buy no air conditioning because it was cheaper. And then they don't really. I mean, it's like summer comes around and it's just brutal.

Yeah, that's one of the more important parts of the car. Yeah. For sure. I had an 84 Bronco II and stick shift, no air conditioner. It wasn't broken. It just didn't have it. Yeah. I had pleather seats in there. I had to ride with my shirt off all the time. This car looks- Didn't just sweat. Awesome. Yeah, it was pretty great. Did you have a tire on the back like that? Yeah. I had a- But it was-

The motor was all raggedy. They had like a Mustang motor in there. And so where the starter, it didn't really match up. So when you would crank it, it would go like every time. And that was the worst part. That's the most embarrassing thing about it. It was more like this red one down here. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's like, that's the stuff that people don't realize, like how much you have to deal with your car. Like, I think...

You know, it's about like the people that don't live in reality, but like there's people that don't realize like how much you have to like growing up your your car. You're talking about it almost every day because something doesn't work. Yeah. And it's just all the time is just like, yeah, my window's not going down now. So, I mean, I remember mine would just fall straight down. Oh, yeah. Sometimes you'd be going on the interstate or somewhere just goes boom.

And you're like, oh, it's like, in the window. And then you got to like, try to get in there and like, get it back up and sandwich it in until you can go get it. I mean, yeah, you just have to work on your car all the time. Oh yeah. Always something. I had a full size Bronco after that car and it would, uh,

When you would drive and then when you would stop, the water would just spew. I had to carry a jug of water around with me because it would just stop and it would spew all the water out. And then I would have to pour more water back in there. We never figured it out. Yeah.

My dad had a full-size Bronco, 89 white Ford Bronco. So cool looking. OJ. Yeah. I mean, my dad, OJ's was a 90s model, I think. Mine was an 89. But my dad took it while I was at work because it kept breaking down. He took it while I was at work. He took this cool full-size Bronco, traded it in on a 99 four-door Saturn SL, and

So I rode into work in a Bronco and left in a four-door Saturn. Did you have any idea that was happening? I knew he was taking it and trading it in, but I had no idea what he was getting. Yeah, what a downgrade it would be. I mean, that car did me well. I mean, that was the practical car for me. I ended up flipping it later, but it was the car I needed. Flipping it like a wreck? Yeah, I rolled it. Just like driving around?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. And I drove it. I flew off into a marsh in Charleston. I rolled it. I landed on the roof.

You flew off. You flew off in a- Yeah, like, I don't know. I hit something and it flipped the car. Had my buddy in the car. We both crawled out. It was that blue. It was just like that blue. We crawled out the windows. Yeah. And I lost my flip-flops and my glasses. It was December. I was cold. I was all wet. Y'all were okay? We were okay. And this guy stopped and he goes, you guys need a ride home? And we were like, yes, we do.

And my car was upside down, headlights pointed in the woods. You just left it there? We just left it. It didn't hurt anybody else. So we just left it. And then I tried to call some tow truck companies to get it. And they were like, the cops already know about it. So I just went to sleep.

because I was like, there's nothing I can do tonight. That's going to help my kids. And I woke up the next morning and, uh, went and, uh, had to get it, had to get a release form from the police station and nobody asked any questions. I just got it. And I mean, it was totaled. I mean, it was done. It was, that was it. Yeah. I mean, now had I been in the Bronco, maybe that I wouldn't even flipped. Yeah. True. That's fine. Yeah. Yeah. But, uh,

That car was great, but we called it Pooh Bear because it looked like the kind of car that would have a Pooh Bear sun visor in the back to protect the kids. It does look like that. I mean, it was real. I mean, it was like, talk about like one day I'm driving a car that girls like, and the next day I'm driving a car that no one likes. I mean, it is...

Well, Saturn was a good car that like just a lot of people, it just was a car that was reliable. They were built here. Very well built. Spring Hill. Were they really? Tennessee? Oh, wow. I remember when they came, the Saturn plant came. It was like a big deal. Yeah. It was such a good car. Stick shift. It didn't have power steering. It was like really hard. I mean, it was the base model. Yeah. But man, I got a lot of miles out of that thing. That's where I started selling pesticides in that car. Oh, wow. Yeah. I had a 1986 Mercury Lynx. Oh.

I don't even know the Lynx. Nobody did. It was basically a Ford Escort cheaper version. Ford Escorts were popular in the late 80s. I remember the Escort. But we couldn't afford Escorts. My dad got me a Mercury Lynx. Yeah, kind of like that. Yeah.

Maybe that's what Alan Jackson was singing about. That one is one that's not really held its own. You don't look at that one and go, I wish I could get that one. Yeah, it doesn't look cool. If you were a crazy car guy, you could...

I'm sure someone would be like, they love it because it's like no one made this car. Right. Alan Jackson says, I'm going to buy me a Mercury and cruise it up down the road. He probably wouldn't think about Mercury Lynx. You think so? No. Maybe. Our family car growing up was a 1991 Toyota Previa. Ah.

minivan with sliding door only on one side. Oh, yeah. I remember that. Wasn't that used to be common? Oh, yeah. I don't think there was even. I remember the first time I saw a minivan with doors on both sides. Wow. Y'all can get in and out of there so easily. Yeah, I never even thought about that switch they made when they went to the two-door. I remember we had a white van. Ours was white, and I remember it got paintballed one year by a senior prank.

My dad was a high school principal. So their senior prank was a paintballed our family. Yeah. Vandalism. Straight up. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of funny, I guess, but there's some big dents and a lot of stains all over it. But one day,

We were at the ballpark for my brother's baseball game, and that sliding door just slid right off the car. Oh, I think you've told this story. Yeah, it had to be held on, bungee corded back on that car. That's stuff you don't see today.

It's like a whole door being held on. Clark Griswold's vacation. Yeah, it was crazy, man. Apparently that was a big problem with that particular model car. Because remember my dad looked it up and a lot of people were, the door just slid right off, man. You just put it right back on. I love that. The first car was invented by Carl Benz of Mercedes Benz, 1885. What about 10 miles per hour?

One of those, you were like, that's fine. Yeah, you're like, I've got motion sickness. Yeah. It's a roller coaster. But it was so expensive, nobody could really afford it. The first car that most people could actually afford was the Ford Model T.

Built here in America in 1908. It cost around $850 when it first came out. But by 1925, it was down to $260. Oh, wow. Because the invention of the assembly line made everything much cheaper and much more easier to produce. I think my grandfather back then was... My grandfather was born in 1900. So by the time he was working, I think he was working for like several dollars a week. Like, you know, maybe...

$10 or $15 a week. Yeah. So that's pretty expensive. $850 in 1908 is $28,000 today. Oh, okay. So they're still more expensive now. Yeah. Yeah, but something to go from probably hundreds of thousands of dollars to $28,000. Oh, yeah. That's way more. Would all Ford cars be more than $28,000 today? I think they're all pretty expensive now. Yeah, if you get a brand new one, yeah, I'd say. Low 30s. Mm-hmm.

Do you guys want to guess what the top selling car of all time is? I'm going to say the Honda Accord. I'm going to go Toyota Corolla. Yeah, I could see that. What's the one that gets broken into the most? I don't know. I think that is a Toyota. Yeah, it might be a Corolla. It might be Camry. Oh, Camry. Camry's a Camry. Yeah. It's either Corolla or Camry.

Camry is nicer. It's Corolla. Oh, okay. But I think that most come, most coming sold cars, Toyota Corolla, somewhere I have on here, the most broken into car. Oh, Toyota Corolla is the most sold?

I drove a Toyota Corolla here today. Oh, yeah? See? I love that car. We call it the zipper. Yeah. And we don't care about it at all. And you can really zip around in it. Uh-huh. Just crashing into stuff. I mean, I try to not dent it up, but it is nice to... You just flip it. Yeah. Get a ride home. Yeah. The 1994 Honda Accord's the most stolen car in history. Was there something specific about that car?

It's a good car. The type of guy you want to rob from. That's the car they'd buy. Probably just easy to take or maybe they were everywhere. Easy to break into. New car smell. You guys a fan of new car smell? Yeah. China's not. That's who's not. A billion people. In China, they don't want any smell. If a car has new car smell, they don't want it. They think it's repugnant.

So what do they do? They just try to get it out. I can't imagine all Chinese people feel that way, though. Well, I'm not saying all. There's a lot of air pollution over there. I think they're dealing with a lot of smells. Yeah. But here, they'll try to put it in. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I sprayed many a new car smell sprays in my not new car. Yeah. But it's actually bad for you. A long exposure to it can lead to cancer. Yeah. All exposure. Like, how long would you be exposed to it?

All chemicals are bad, though, like that. Oh, that's true. All, like, plug-ins and Febreze and all that's bad to breathe in. Household cleaning chemicals. They say, like, cleaning chemicals are worse on your lungs than cigarettes. Oh, okay.

I did. Maybe the company put that out. Yeah. That sounds like Philip Morris. I rented a car this weekend, uh, or to drive, to go, uh, down to Huntsville. And, uh, it's, and it was one where like you get it and you, it's had the tanks half full.

And so then you're like, all right, well, do y'all, does anybody know that? You're like, does someone there know that, that it's half full? And then it also smelled like cigarettes. Oh, yeah. Like, like hard. Where you were, like, so we had to spend a whole day of just like door open, everything. Was this like a churro thing? No, no. It was like Enterprise or something. Really? Yeah. Oh, wow.

Yeah, but it's not good about it.

But like a rental car is the only one that's like, well, we need to see everything. Well, they've really expedited it now. I can walk right to the car now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Enterprise is pretty fast. If you go like budget, it's, it's a, yeah, I had to graduate out of budget because I was like, I don't have the time. I just don't have the time. Well, now Turo's like, you know, popular thing. But I read some of the Airbnbs are going down too. That's what, that's what they say. I still use them a lot. Yeah. But yeah, people are unhappy with them.

It's too much like you got to clean the house. People want a hotel where they can leave. Yeah.

You can just leave. Yeah, exactly. When I'm at an Airbnb and they're like, please take out the trash, wash the dishes. I'm like, nah, nah. That's why I rented this from you. Yeah. I'm not going to wreck the place. And you're like, I'll pay for housekeeping to do something, but I'm not going to. Yeah, don't have me running errands around here. You want me to check the mail? And you probably have to. If you're there for a week, you will have to take the trash out. But when you're done, you're like, yeah, we're leaving.

So I think it's going down. So I wonder if, you know, even Turo, which Turo is really great because it's like cheaper and you can rent a, but it's all that stuff where it's like people are just in other people's cars and you're just, you know, the, the high end versions of those things are great, but the lower end versions of those things are real dicey. And that's where stuff is getting, um,

You know, like Airbnb, you can get a mansion for whatever. And you're like, you have a good time. Yeah. Or are you going to get in someone's apartment and it's weird and you're, you're going in just like it's a hotel and you're like, well, that's, you're next to just like person that has a family. Yeah. You know, it's uncomfortable. Well, guess what the most popular car color is. I'm going blue. I don't, not blue. It doesn't make sense. Silver. Black. Silver is my guess. I'll go black.

Black, black, silver? Yeah. White. Almost went white. Black's a close second. I think I maybe even sent you the list of the order. I mean, those two are by far the most popular. And then, well, in gray. They used to say if you had a red car, your insurance would be more expensive. Yeah. Why is that?

I don't know. Because it seems like you'd be, it's a sports car. Because you're the kind of guy, if you have a red car, you're going to drive red. I can see that. Yeah. Really profiling people based on the color of their car. And that's, yeah, I like that. Yeah. If you have a brown car, they're like, you don't even need insurance. They go, if you get hit, it's fine. You're doing yourself a favor, picking a brown color. They say, I hope it got totaled.

That's what they said. I remember wanting a car to get told. Laura had a Honda Accord and we had a beginning of comedy and all this. The white one? The white one. Yeah, everybody's rode in this car and we're driving home. We hit a deer and...

I remember it was like, you just want the car to be totaled. And someone's like, it's not. And you're like, oh yeah. And then you're like, you're just going to, you're like, you're paying for all this stuff. So you're like, Hey, it would be fun to go pick a new car out. But then you're like, I mean, it's never going to run. It's going to be different. I think it actually ran fine. I mean, it was some of them. You're like, I don't know what totaled is. Cause sometimes it could look like nothing.

And it's totaled. Or it can look like everything. And they're like, no, it's fine. I thought totaled by definition means the cost to repair it is more than the cost, the value of it. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. So they don't really care what it looks like. They're like, no, you better bungee that door on. Yeah.

Yeah. You know, I had a situation like that too. I went, when I first started selling pesticides, I worked for a year, I was driving a 1982 Buick LeSaber real, real huge car. And then I, I bought a rental car. I had no credit and I couldn't get anyone to give me a loan. And finally a rental car company sold me a Dodge Avenger. I bought it. And then my job changed. They completely changed the job on me. They laid off half the company. I picked up all these things.

And then I flooded the car. I drove into some water and flooded it. And I was like, if this car gets totaled, I'm quitting this job. I didn't want to work the job. But I was like, if this car gets flooded, I'm quitting this job. And then they didn't total the car. So I kept the job for like four more years and then ended up getting another car, carrying over a negative equity. I was in so much debt.

for all these raggedy cars working a job I hated. It was the worst. I sold that car and had to still spend money to get out of debt. But it was the greatest day of my life.

No one, when you said like, if this car's total, I'm going to quit this job. No one expected you to follow up. I've been worked four more years. I know. That's a long time. I was so trapped and I could not figure it out because I was drinking. So I was also drunk half the time. So, but I was like, I needed the car for the job.

But I needed the job for the car, you know, and I couldn't. It was like I was just so trapped. Yeah. And I moved downtown Charleston and I figured I could work downtown and not even need a car. So I went carless for two years and it was great. But I love a car. Would you take cabs or? I would just bike everywhere. I rode a bike all over the place. And then when I started doing comedy, I would rent cars to go places. Yeah.

So you're the one that shows up at every party just drenched. Oh, yeah. But I quit drinking, so I wasn't even partying, you know. So I would just, but I would show up.

A lot of times I'd carry a bag and have other clothes to change into when I got there, you know? What was the joke you had about the rental car with the cigarette in the rental car? Oh, yeah. I said that I rented a car one time and they said, you know, I got the insurance that if I wrecked it, I didn't have to pay anything. But they were like, you can't smoke in here. If you smoke in here, it's 500 bucks, you know? And I wanted to smoke in there. So I wrecked it. Yeah.

He's smoking the car. Yeah. The total. That's hilarious, man. I might've just heard that joke on Sirius. Did you? Yeah. Not for me. Is it? It's not on Sirius? I don't know. I think there are some jokes for me on Sirius that I don't know about. Oh yeah. Maybe I didn't. Maybe I heard it somewhere else. I have to think it'd be odd if you're,

heard Dusty on Sirius and didn't remember that it was him. No, no. I remember a joke about rental car. I heard something else too. Another joke someone said about a totaling car. Like you can total the car for $11. Oh yeah. And like, you know,

I mean, it's probably a lot of comics have rented cars and been in that situation. Yeah, it's not. It wasn't the same jokes. Like, I want to smoke cigarettes in here. Smoking and driving was always the best. I mean, if you're a cigarette smoker and you don't smoke in the car, I don't get it. I mean, I love it. You experienced it this weekend. Yeah. It just ruins the car, though. It does, but...

It takes over the whole car. If you can have a car, I'd imagine, I think that you're just like, I don't, you know, it's your car. Yeah. And you could be like, I'm sure, but I wonder if people have like their smoking car and then they're like a smoking jacket, but a whole car, but they have a car that's like, just, you can maybe an old beat up car that you're like, I drive this around. It's my car. You know, I'm sure like if you have, you have two, a lot of people probably have two cars. You could have,

One that's like, whoever the smoker is smokes in it. And then the other one is like, you know, all right, we got people coming over. Oh yeah.

My first car, I had a Volvo that I used to drive. My first comedy car, I used to drive around in. And I would smoke so many cigars in that thing. I mean, it's great to drive and smoke. But also, I'd be up some northern city where it'd be too cold. You just sit in the car with it running. I'd just have my arm out smoking, have snow all over my arm. I mean, it's the best. I loved to just sit in the car and smoke. Yeah.

Yeah. It's so fun. Well, seatbelts have come a long way since back in my day. I vaguely remember just the lap belt where there wasn't even a thing. And then once the three-point seatbelt was invented, that's what it's called. When was that? Well, it was invented in 1959. It didn't become like a popular thing in cars until much later. Like which was much later? Like the 80s, I think. Yeah.

I think 70s, a lot of 70s cars still had just a lap belt and nobody wore them. I do remember the seatbelt being like a suggestion, like it's there, but we're like, what's this? I've said, I remember if you put on a seatbelt, it was, you would offend the driver. Yeah. I mean, that's hilarious. Man, I remember really growing up and if something happened, I'd really want to put the seatbelt on, but I was so nervous.

Because I think I didn't want the person I still to this day, like if I'm in a car, like a Uber or something and like I'm in the back and say I'm going to buckle up. I try to do it very I try to do it where there's a loud noise with the guy doesn't hear it because I think it's the guy like maybe made a turn or something. And then I put it on and then it's like it's it's like a direct like challenge to him. I feel like he's going to turn like, well, you don't think you think I'm going to give you any rec because I would have that happen. But why would you just put it on as soon as you get in the car?

It's like maybe I don't and I forget because I'm in the back seat. I do in the front seat. I always wear my seatbelt, but it's just –

I remember growing up and just being like, if you put it on, it was like, you think I'm going to wreck this car, dude? They'd be mad at you. They wouldn't wear the seatbelt. I was like that. And so you'd be very uncomfortable wearing a seatbelt. You'd be like, all right, I guess I'm not going to put it on. I mean, I've made fun of people for wearing their seatbelt. I mean, I remember when it became a law to have to do it. And we were so mad. Yeah.

Well, you know, car seats, I mean, you know, like when you leave the hospital now with a baby, they make sure you have a car seat. Apparently when I was a kid, there wasn't even car seats. They didn't, my mom, when I was 21 months old, my mom left me standing in the front seat of a car and I pulled it into drive and drove it into a pond. Yeah.

You've been in water and cars a lot. I mean, I don't remember it, but that's my family talks about that story all the time. I drove through two barbed wire fences, went in between these trees that closed the door and I crashed into a pond. Oh, my mom can't swim. She had to run down and get me out of there. Yeah, I was fine. Did the car sink? Yeah, the car. They did total that car. The first seatbelt law in the state of Alabama was 1991. Yeah.

So I was nine years old. So in 1973, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration required all new cars to have a seatbelt interlock mechanism where you can't start the car until you got your seatbelt on.

And that quickly, nobody was on board with that. So that quickly, uh, yeah, that's crazy. Try to do that to 1973. People's crazy. Yeah. Like that's 1973. We were like, no, we just talked about 1973. They named their kids. Yeah. Uh,

that long name, Jacob, Jan, Grady, John, Michael, that's a 1973 person. That's like, he ain't telling me what to do. Yeah. They're like, my hands are full with all this beer to be passing in a seat. There's a video going around of a small town in Arkansas. The first year that they made drinking and driving illegal people's reactions are so funny. It's just this guy in a truck going, it's like living in a communist country. I mean, it's crazy country you live in. You work for 12 hours. You can't get in the car and have one or two beers on the

It's just as wild. I agree with that guy. And then look where it's gone since that law. It's all gone downhill. Yeah. He was right all along. Yeah. It's a tough, look, no one thinks anybody should drink and drive at all. So it's the most horrible thing in the world. But it's like to that person's like, yeah, I'm not, you know, I have a beer. On the way home from work. Yeah. I got an hour drive home and I've been working all day. I just want one beer, maybe two. Yeah. Yeah. And then it becomes 12, 13 after that real quick.

Well, then they required all cars just to have seatbelts. And Ronald Reagan ran for president in 1980 on deregulation. So when he took office, he revoked that law saying you don't have to do it. But then the insurance company sued because they said it's safer if you got a seatbelt. And it went all the way to Supreme Court. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the insurance companies.

So that's when all cars started to have to have seatbelts. First seatbelt law was 1985 in New York. I don't like the beeping on the seatbelt. We had, we had a car, uh, that like recently, like, uh, it's still around. We still, we gave it to my, my nephew might have it now, but it was like, it just, for some reason, uh, it was an infinity. It just, the seatbelt, it won't beat when you don't have it off. It's the only car I've been in, in a long time.

And so it's like amazing because everyone does. And some reason that it's like an old school and it doesn't be probably a way to turn that off. If you know how to, if you know how to do it, this one was off, but I mean, it never had it on. And, uh, you know, it wasn't like a super old, it wasn't like an old, it was by maybe a 2019 or something like, but it was, it never had it on. And then, uh, it's,

was like, you know, cause like going through parking lots and like that kind of stuff where you're just not putting your seatbelt on for like two seconds. Uh, it's so great. Yeah.

My mom had a car where you could, you open the door and then the seatbelt runs. And then when you close it, it puts it. Oh, I remember that. I think I might've had. That felt pretty fancy. I mean, it was annoying. It was very fancy. You get hung up on it though. Yeah. Like choking. It would get annoying. Like you would just get hit by it sometimes. Like you like bend down to grab something and just get jerked back. Yeah.

But it was, yeah, it was very cool. Buick Regal, I think, was my first car that had power windows. Okay. I remember having that. That was probably right when I started dating Laura. So then I was 21. Buick Regal. That's right. Tupac talked about a Buick Regal in a song, didn't he? I don't know. That's why I got it. We called it the real car car because Mr. Regal in wrestling was the real man's man.

So we call it the real cars. Your cars had names. Sounds like. Yeah, those did not anymore. But back then when your car was kind of beat up, you had to add something to it. The nicer the car is, the less likely you are to name. Yeah. You got to have a little, when you got something that's a little beat up and you're like, it deserves a name. That's true. I was going to ask you, even you, but Dusty, I'm sure has many examples of it. Been in a wreck where your seat, where your airbags gone off.

I've never had the airbags deployed. I haven't either. I've been in wrecks where they probably should have been, but the car was not nice enough to work. Yeah, my Buer Rigo was totaled, and I loved that car. And I got hit, T-boned. Someone ran an intersection and hit me. But I don't know if it even had airbags. Well, my car flipped for sure they came out.

Yeah. Okay. I hope they did. Yeah. I was totally fine. I mean, I, you know, to, I think I rolled the car completely one time because both of the side mirrors were broken off, but it landed on the roof. I mean, I was totally fine. Well, when you were a baby, if that airbag would have came out, it would have been.

Not bad. Not good. Yeah, that's what they say. Like the pond was the only thing that saved me, they said. Like if I had hit one of those trees, I probably would have went into the windshield. Yeah. Yeah.

Were you wearing your seatbelt, though, when your car flipped? No, no. Were you drinking at 21 months old? Tough to say. Yeah. In Alabama, 21 is 21. Yeah, exactly. That was the time where if the kid probably put a little brandy in the kid's mouth, he'd calm it down a bit. Different times. And my mom did drink a bit back in the day, so who knows? Yeah. You were just thinking as a 21-year-old, you go, I think I can drive this car. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I mean, that's what they just told me. I walked over, grabbed it, pulled it into drive, and it just, that's before you had to push the brake in to get it out of gear. Your mom watched it. Dustin. Yeah. Come on back here with that car. I was in the car. Dustin Slay. She's your full name. Yeah. Dustin Richard Slay. They say that was the nicest car they ever owned.

That I wrecked. Awfully convenient for the story. But that was the nicest car they ever had. Well, I mean... It had power. We could probably go look at it. It was like a Buick 88 or something is what it was called. 98 maybe. It was... It wasn't... That wasn't the year of the car. Delta 88? Yeah, that's it. And it had power windows. Yeah, when were you born? 86? 82. So that wasn't the year of the car. Oh. Oldsmobile 88. Yeah. And they had...

Yeah, they said when they were, the insurance guy was out to see if he was going to total it. Probably the ninth generation. The windshield wipers just came on out of nowhere. Oh, yeah. I didn't know this. Your airbags will go off different. If you have a seatbelt on, you got to be going faster before your airbags go off than if you don't have a seatbelt on. Oh.

So if you had a wall, like a brick wall, you don't have a seatbelt on, it'll go off if you're going 10 to 12 miles per hour. Oh, okay. But if you had your seatbelt on, you'd have to be going 16 miles per hour for that deploy. Oh, interesting. Because the seatbelt would save you. I was at a wreck once with my brother. He was probably 17, which means I was 12 or 13. And he hit...

he hit this car in front of him and the car and that car hit the car in front of it so it's three car wrecks we all pull over the first car he hit was this elderly couple they were in their 90s wow they had bought a new car that morning their first new car that they'd ever bought yeah oh my gosh the oldest couple you've ever seen gets out of the car my brother's like oh no dude

Now the woman in front of him that they hit, she gets out and she looks at our cars. She goes, I'm going to tell you something. I don't have insurance. I don't have a license. I got to pick up my kids. I'm gone. Peels out of there. So,

I mean, my brother just talked to the cops as if that first lady never even existed. Yeah. They just pretend that she wasn't even involved. Yeah. Whose fault was it? It was my brother's fault. Yeah. He was a kid. Yeah. That first lady is me, though. I've been there. Never not had a license, but I got to get out of here. Yeah. I can't be around where the cops go. Yeah. I don't know how to say this right now, but-

I've said too much. I wasn't here. Yeah. I did. I had hit, I had had so many wrecks for a while. My insurance got up to like $400 a month, $500 a month. And that's when I was like, really needed to sell the car. But I hit these one, this one lady in Orangeburg, South Carolina, and she got out, she had a baby. I didn't hit her bad. There was really no damage to the car. And like,

She felt like it was like she was going to let, she set the baby up on the car in the car seat. And they, she said, well, I don't see any damage, but I got to get my boyfriend. So he comes and,

And he looks not happy. And I think there's no way this guy's going to let me go. And then after a little bit, he goes, ah, you good, man. And then the car seat, just then the car seat falls off the car and lands face first on the ground. They pick the baby up. Now the car seat, he's strapped in. So the car seat protects the kid, but the kid's screaming. And I'm just like,

I'm like, well, now that this has happened, am I still good? And I got to get out of there. I talked to a few people out of calling the police on me because I'm like, my insurance is so high. I just cannot handle this. I got a lady, one lady let me buff. I go, I said, I bet you can get this buffed out. I said, once you call, see what it costs and I'll pay you for it. And she called and I did pay her for the buffing. So she trusted me. But I was like,

I cannot have this go on my insurance. The cars. So far as the cars like really smashed it. I think you probably bought that. Yeah. Are you not a good driver? Well, I just think it was because I was drinking a lot and I was, and I didn't wreck a lot drinking, but I was hung over all the time. And I was just, I was just, and I was driving for work. So I was constantly on the road. Yeah. Having accidents in parking lots all the time. I just was like,

I was having, I was, my twenties were rough. You get fired up driving them. But now I'm, you know, I'm all right. You know, I'm not having, I mean, I'm, I get fired up, but I'm like my, my sense. You're in control. Yeah. My first wreck was, uh, you're talking about Saturn, my old blue Mazda 66, uh, Brittany, uh,

Rothman that I went to high school with. I thought that was the name of the car. No, no, no. No, she grew up in high school and, uh, I was going to her house and I was following her and then she had a Saturn. She had like a brand new Saturn, which was, I mean, it was, was a cool car cause it was brand. I mean, it was brand new. Depending on the model. Yeah. And then, uh,

And then I like hit her in the back rear end. And it was, and then I've never had a big dent in the front of my car. And her car was like, cause it was like a newer car. That was like that plastic. Oh, the gray bumpers. Yeah. Yeah. It was like, it just like popped it out. And then, I mean, I just, then my car now just had a dent for the remaining of that car's existence. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, the Saturn had, they had, yeah, the plastic ones that could pop out and then they had gray. They call them 15 mile per hour or five mile per hour bumpers that if you got hit five miles per hour or less, it wouldn't do anything to the car. Yeah. It's pretty good. That car was what I drove the majority of my drinking and driving days. Yeah. And it was a lifesaver. Yeah.

Yeah. Cause I bumped a lot of stuff. That's what Saturn should have said. And they'd probably still be in business. Yeah. Yeah. The car for the drinker and driver. Yeah. Go to this town that you see this video. It's all Saturn. It's like bumper cars. He's just trying to get home from work. You're in a rural area. Have no cabs around.

For Uber invented? Yeah. Yeah. But that Buick LeSabre, though, on the other hand, that 1984 Buick, I mean, that thing was a boat, and I drove it around. I mean, that was a car I got after I wrecked the Saturn, and so that was like my punishment almost for... I mean, it's a nice-looking car if it looks good, but it was pretty wore out. Yeah, anytime we look up these old cars, these are like...

refurbished. Yeah. I mean, I wish I had that car. They never looked that as nice as these pictures. But I used to get pulled over all the time in that car. I got pulled over one time, really, really drunk. And I kept handing the, like the, I had a stack of papers. The cop was looking for my registration and I kept flipping. I go, is this it? He goes, no. And I'm flipping. I go, is this it? He goes, no. And I'm flipping. I go, is this it? He goes, you just showed me that. And the,

The guy ended up giving me a speeding ticket and a like no registration ticket. And I was so thankful to him that my friend was like, don't be that thankful. You seem guilty because he just gave you a ticket.

but he put my court date so far out that when I, um, went to court, he had left the force. So I got completely out of it. I think this guy was fed up being a cop and he's like, I know this guy is an endanger to everyone, but, uh,

But I don't care because I'm quitting. I think that guy was on a two week notice. Well, yeah, you maybe have some likability that people just like you and they go, all right. I got pulled over a couple of times like that. I'm very fortunate. I don't, I mean, I like to laugh and joke about the time drinking, but I don't, I'm not for it. I don't support it. I'm not telling people to do it. You're not proud of it. No, it was very bad. It was very bad. But I survived and I didn't hurt anyone else. So I feel very fortunate. Yeah.

And it's funny to me now. Yeah. You know what I think about a lot? I, I, uh, drive through a toll booth. This is years ago. And I, I, I know that toll booths were coming up. So I got a bunch of quarters. I had just like a huge little knapsack of quarters and,

And it was my turn to pay. And it was like, I don't know. It was way more than I thought. I was like $13. Oh, wow. There's a line behind me. So I was like, I start counting out like 13 and I just, I, I just grab a handful of quarters and I like gave it to the woman that she starts. She, as she's looking through it, she goes, did you just, did

did you count this out as you just hand me a handful of quarters? And I just look at her and go, I'm sorry. And I didn't even think about how rude that was for me to just be like, here, just take this, just threw it at her. I think about her all the time. Just the look on her face. You were nervous. I was nervous. I was holding up the line. Yeah, the pressure's on. Yeah, so I was like, I'll just...

In my head, I was like, I'll just give her, you know, I'll pay a little more. Just hand her a handful of it. But she was not. Did you give her the right amount? Way more. Oh, yeah. She sat there and counted it out and then gave me the change. Yeah. Gave me a mean look. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Roe Rage is on the rise all across America. A lot of people maybe need better help. Oh, they do. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Yeah, sometimes the life we face with tough choices and the path forward is not always clear. I mean, road rage would help. It's like how to calm yourself down. You know, you don't want to, no one wants to live like that. Even when they're doing it, they don't want to, they're not happy to be just in some, just screaming at every time you walk out and just, and there has to be a point where you go like, there's no way other people live like this.

If you've had that thought, that's when you need to go to better help. You have to go. There's no way people feel this. It's, it's a few incidents today. Yeah. Yeah. It's the same way. It's feeling healthy and all that. You got to go. There's no one that believes it. Uh, if you're thinking of starting therapy, give better help a try. It is entirely online. That makes it convenient, flexible, and can fit to any schedule. Just fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with a licensed therapist. You can switch therapists at any time. Uh,

A traffic ticket was issued in New York City. So they already had speed limit laws for horses. Eight miles an hour. Eight? Yep. That's a light gallon. How do you even...

get that figured out. Yeah, they didn't have radars back then. It was four miles an hour when you corner. You can only go four miles an hour and turn in a corner. I know, but how do you even... How do they judge your speed back then? Yeah, how would you know? It's before the radar. You're like, this guy's getting going. How would you know? Would the cop pace it? Maybe the cop paces it with... He starts walking and then the horse is getting a little bit ahead. You go, whoa! He goes, I know that I walk at three miles an hour.

You shouldn't be that far ahead of me. Yeah. Like you could pace it off. Because how would you ever know that you can only go... How fast can a horse go? 700 miles an hour. Like who knows? No one knows. It's...

Yeah, radar technology was not developed until 1935. How would they even give them a number? I don't know. They collect the guy at 12 miles an hour, or at least that's what they said he was going. They arrested him, took him to jail. That means they would have to, like I was saying, they'd have to run it. But I mean, I don't even know. Borderline, I don't know how numbers are invented at this point. Yeah. How do they go eight miles per hour? Like, what is the... He had to be a mathematician to be a cop back then, it sounds like. Yeah. Were they doing miles per hour back then?

Before that, I guess you'd say you went on a big... Doing donuts on their horses out here. They had to put a stop to it. I don't know how you're... I think you'd have to walk it or run it. Did you guys ever do that? Donuts? Oh, yeah. My buddy used to do this thing where he put the car in reverse and then he would really floor it and spin the front of the car around. I never did it. I just wasn't a rule breaker.

Like I didn't, like I would feel too uncomfortable being like,

You're like, I don't want to get in trouble. And then you're like, you're ruining someone's parking lot. I was just in the car for that. Yeah, I wouldn't do that to my own car. Yeah, ruining someone's parking lot. I was afraid I'd break my car and then not have one. Street racing in Nashville has become a big issue lately. Is it? Oh, yeah. It's just someone calls the 311 all the time on them. Whatever. What's the Nashville having number? I'll tell you, this city used to be great. Hi, Brian Bates again.

I'm here sub loud, revving up, and I'm trying to go to bed, sir, it's 8 o'clock. I'm trying to get me down for a nap. Miles per hour first came into common usage with the regular stage coaches in the 18th century, as running the stages on time required a timetable. So miles per hour is used in 1700s. But I mean, how, like, so you're a regular person.

You're me. Yeah. I'm on a horse and you can't go eight miles per hour. How are they even remotely like, you know, when the cop goes, I got you going this amount of speed back then. You're like, what have you just said? I don't think I was. Maybe they had a distance measured out where they are like, we know from here to here is a quarter mile and it took you this long to get there. And they just were, you know, they knew the math.

But you got to follow. I mean, that means your speed traps are long. I think the speed trap is they just kind of feel you're going a little. They just kind of know what the right speed looks like. Yeah. And they just kind of feel it out. Yeah. It has to be how they do. Yeah. And they go, oh, and maybe that's where the woe comes from. Whoa.

Yeah. So in the early 19th century, with the advent of the railroads, speed became significantly higher, though at one time, many people thought that all passengers would asphyxiate if the trains went over 20 miles per hour. What does that mean? Like you would choke to death.

Or you wouldn't be able to breathe if you went faster than 20 miles per hour. I was choked up about that word as well. Yeah. I didn't go. There's a lot of things I was like, what? Well, that's like choke is an easier word to just say. Yeah. It's a jarring word to see coming up in a sentence. I would have never even said it. Asphyxiate. It looks like a mishmash. Asphyxiate. Yeah. I would have never said it. I wonder why the PH needs to make the F sound when we already have an F.

I think it's just nice. I don't know. It's a pretty simple dude. You know, it's like, it makes it a little more fancy. Even the word phonics. You know, and fancy. Is a P-H. There's no need for that. Did you know that when you said it? What'd he say? I mean, I kind of, as I was saying it, I realized it was kind of funny. He said using a P-H is a little fancier. Oh, yeah. Fancy is with an F. Yeah. That's really smart. Fancy's really not that fancy. Fancy's not fancy.

If you see something that's written as fancy, you don't think, ooh. But sophisticated is a P-H. But fancy, even though fancy means fancy, if you saw a sign that said, we are fancy, and that's how usually it's used, you wouldn't think. It would be like a tongue-in-cheek joke. Yeah, it's like when you see gourmet on a restaurant. It's probably not. Yeah, well, I don't know about that.

Don't drag gourmet in. Yeah, I don't think gourmet should be dragged in with that. I disagree. I'm sorry. I'm not doing Aaron. Sorry about that. I think gourmet. No, we didn't grow up with cooks, you know? Our personal chef was gourmet. I know that much. And you just knew it. He goes, we had gourmet burgers. And you're like, we had that last week. And you yell at your chef. You call this gourmet? And then you go sit in your double van door. And that's when it came off.

And you have to sit in and they go, well, we can see you, Aaron. The door doesn't work. Did you ever think it was odd that cars are made that can go so much faster than what the law allows?

Yeah. Why do they allow that? I don't know. I mean, it just seems so counterintuitive. Yeah. Seems like something should have been looked up. But there are... I'm talking about Clark. I'm joking. Yeah, I just thought about it. Yeah. But there are... What's the word? Fancy. Circumstances. I'm blanking on the word. Circumstances? Like sometimes there's different speeds? Yeah, extenuating circumstances. Like in Texas, you can drive like 85? There's a meteor coming to the earth. You're allowed to break the speed limit a little bit.

and drive faster. What you have to do is if you're on the run from something. Merging. I get a lot of that with Laura. Like, why are you going so fast? She's like,

Because you're not looking around what's going on. Yeah. I got a guy behind me that wants to apparently go 140 miles an hour. And then I have to stay up this speed to get out of this lane eventually. But the lane's too backed up. Like, this dude is on top of me. So, you know, it's like we're getting a lot of like, let me see what's going on. Yeah, yeah. You see what I'm working with out here? I'm actually doing unbelievable. Are you merging? Yeah.

When you're merging, you got to speed up. I'm actually doing great. I'm crushing it right now. I think every car around me likes me. That is the shame of it all when you're doing, you're making real good moves out on the interstate, but like the people riding with you don't appreciate it and call you like a maniac and stuff like that. And you're like, that's what I did to Dusty once. Yeah. Yeah.

One time, though, of all the times he rode with me. Well, you pulled a crazy maneuver, if I remember correctly. And then after hearing everything that went down today, you are a maniac as a driver. I don't know if I would like to drive with you. I think I've said this before, but I called Dusty a maniac, and it was quiet in the car for maybe 30 minutes. And then Dusty just goes, maniac. He's still thinking about it. Really rubbed in the wrong way. Do you know how many people...

Have been had had their car be submerged in water in life. I mean, the percentage has got to be a half percent. Michael Scott, Roscoe P. Coltrane. Yeah, it's got to be people in TV shows. It's got to be no one. And it's you. And you've done it. You've done it twice. Twice that it couldn't recover from. I've driven in some water a few times. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty wild. Yeah.

I mean, people just don't, the cars don't end up in water and you don't meet a person that has that. Imagine if you meet a person that's done it once, they probably done it twice. Yeah. Like I would think that's a flip into a marsh that makes three times. Oh yeah. Oh, I didn't, I was, that's the, I was thinking about the only two times is the, Oh no. When I, when the Dodge Avenger, I drove it. It was,

Charleston had really flooded and it was nighttime and I drove into some- Well, don't blame the topography of the city you're in. Charleston's near the ocean. Yeah. It's a wet city. Global warming. You probably blame it. You really got it going. The ice caps. I drove the car into water and they wouldn't- The tow truck company wouldn't come tow the car as long as it was in the water.

So I went to this pizza place where all these college students were at. You had to get out and walk in the water? Yeah. Like just how deep was it? It was like knee high. Yeah. The whole place was flooded. I went to this pizza place and I told them that I would buy them beer, a few pitchers of beer, if they would help me push the car out. So we pushed it out. The tow truck came, took the car and we went back to the pizza place and drank. And without realizing that I didn't like have a way home. Yeah. And I just got a ride home with a stranger and, uh,

It was great. And you had to buy. Yeah, I bought pitchers for people. And we just sat in a Norm's Pizza place in downtown Charleston. And just had a good time. Yeah, my car's gone. I'm like, just drinking my problems away. Your life falling apart behind you. Yeah. I have another car question. So tires, get flat tires. Why is it a tire just made completely of rubber? What do you mean? Well, there's air in it.

What if it was just all rubber? Then you'd never have flat tires. I think it would be real rough. Yeah. It would be like when you're... Oh, like cushiony, like a shoe. Yeah. Like a sole. Like once it pierces a certain way, then you're going to have a flat tire because then the air comes out. But if it was all rubber, what would happen? What if they've never thought about that and they go, huh? Yeah. Right now, some guy's like,

Yeah, why don't we do that? I bet it tears apart immediately. I think it just would be too rough. When you're driving, it'd just be like any bump you hit. That's what I think. The air absorbs shock and provides a way smoother ride than it would be if it were a solid. I bet you could do that. Yeah, I think I've come up with something. Now they have the fixed, like these tires that are supposed to be, like they kind of can get flat. Yeah.

I've got a lot of flats, a lot of construction going on in Nashville. Yeah. And so you get up, you end up getting a lot of flats. I do. There are solid tires.

for like forklifts and stuff that you solid oh yeah oh yeah you seem like though like uh because those are heavy though you can't be on air on a yeah you can't yeah you don't need a forklift like at a pull it into a gas station put air in there yeah you gotta be there for three hours i had to put air in my car the other day and uh

I always get nervous that it's going to just, the tire is going to go like two full. Yeah. Yeah. And,

And they have a tire gauge there, but I don't know how much air is supposed to be in there. Yeah. I see the tire gauge on the thing, but this, the screen was so messed up. You couldn't really read it. I was like kind of guessing. The air compressors at a gas station are always so wrecked. Yeah. It's like, who's wrecking these things? Yeah. Just get your air and get out of there. Yeah. Yeah. It's always crowded. I mean, I got this one good, but I mean, I had a, I think I might've said it on the, I had one day where it was like,

I just couldn't find one without a line. Yeah. And you're like, what are we doing today? It was just a day of all of us. And if there's so much demand, let's get some more air. I went yesterday. I went to the biggest Buc-ee's in the world. The new one that just opened in Sevierville. Mm hmm.

Crazy big. I got off the interstate, immediately regretted it. It took 45 minutes to park. Wow. It was like driving into Disney World. Yeah. That's going to rival Dollywood out there. I mean, it is crazy. Yeah. They're a huge roundabout where, I mean...

I'm not going to go again. You would need to. You got to go at like two in the morning. Yeah. I went at 1 p.m. on a Sunday. Yeah. A week after it opened. I mean, I regretted it immediately, but I was trapped in line. Oh, you're catching the church crowd in there. Catching everybody in Sevierville going to see the new Buckeyes. Yeah. We went inside. It was almost unwalkable.

Oh, really? How packed it was. Oh, wow. Dude, still got some stuff. Yeah. You still found some stuff. Yeah. I was like, whoa, we're here. Yeah. Oh, I know this. I thought it was kind of funny. When the first radios were installed in cars...

They had a lot of static. So to cut down on static, spark plugs were fitted with a suppressor that actually downgraded the performance of the engine. So there was a fine balance between getting good radio reception and having a car that ran well. So you had to decide whether you wanted to listen to something or your car drive well. Well, that's a classic Aaron Tippin song, you know? Ain't nothing wrong with the radio. You guys know that song? No.

There ain't nothing wrong with the radio. You know that one? I do know the song. Is that what he's referring to? Well, he's talking about how raggedy his car is, but the radio's good. Yeah.

Yeah. Ain't nothing wrong with the radio. AM radio is like, I'll listen to that sometimes. And it's like, man, it just goes out. I have like one or two, five goes out here to sports. And you're like, I mean, radio is just like, why, how does it, it's an, it was a five to FM channel. And it's like, you can be driving and it just starts going out. And you're like, I think their tower is like North of Nashville. Yeah.

So it's just at this point, you're like radio is going to just do itself out with going. It can't get anywhere. Yeah. Between commercials and well, seriously, how did serious, they were supposed to be no commercials was the deal. And it's,

I mean, they can go on long stretches, but it's a lot of commercials. Talk radio. Yeah. Talk radio is the worst. And it'd be serious. We're supposed to be like, well, you're paying commercials or they're sneaking their way back everywhere. Even in the, even like Netflix is talking about having ads now. Yeah. Hulu has ads everywhere. I don't think they can make enough money with just subscriptions. And I feel like they could, but they're putting out too much stuff. But then like, I guess too many people are watching stuff. Yeah.

Aaron Tippin performed the song There Ain't Nothin' Wrong With The Radio with Alvin and the Chipmunks on their 1992 album Chipmunks in Low Places. In this version, Simon repeatedly attempts to correct the song's grammar, singing There Isn't Anything Wrong With The Radio. Tippin then explains that the song is supposed to have grammatical errors because it's country. All right. Aaron Tippin gets it. Yeah. Oh, it's supposed to have. Yeah, I do remember him, man.

Working man. Working man's PhD. There was a woman in Chicago who got $105,000 worth of parking tickets. Her ex-boyfriend registered the car in her name without her permission and then parked it at O'Hare Airport where it racked up 678 parking tickets over a two-year period. So they went to court about it and they finally settled and she got a bill for $4,470. How would she still get a bill?

That guy did nothing happen to that guy? I guess not. Could you be like, well, he parked it there. I guess you couldn't maybe prove it. Maybe, I don't know. Maybe he was like, I didn't register this in her name. It's in her name. She's just saying that. Oh, wow. All right. All right. Uh, let's hit, uh, there it is. We did it. Uh,

This weekend, American ACC tournament. Like I said, it'll be Golf Channel, Peacock. NBC. It'll be on NBC on Friday, I think. Saturday, it's on NBC. Saturday and Sunday, NBC. So if you want to check it out, I'll be on there.

Yeah. Get in. Let's make some money, dude. Yeah. I mean, look, the finish is where the win would be impossible. But it's, I mean, a lot of these guys are so, well, these guys are so good. I've never played it. But I mean, that, when you hit a ball in that altitude, it's, I put it, I did it on a track, man. And I mean, it's like a seven iron goes almost 200. That rules. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe there'll be some prop bets. Nate?

Nate will be the first one to hit a lady. Maybe it can be finished. I don't know. Look, I'll give it my all for the ones that do bet on me. I will give it a go. I'm giving it a hard, hard fight. All right.

Oh, starting this Wednesday, my wife is out of town. So if you are a mom, I am putting my daughter to bed for the first time. I can need help with bath time, bedtime, anything, you know, just for you or the baby. That's a good job. I was thinking the baby, but you know, my wife is out of town. Anyway.

I have, uh, I'm going to be at Denver comedy works. All right. Downtown. I've never done the downtown club. So I'm excited. It's a one nighter. I'd like to pack it out. So, uh, if you're in the Denver area, it's a great club. It's a hot club. Come on out. That's in a best. Yeah. I'll be in Albany, New York, not to be confused with Albany, Georgia, but Albany, New York at the funny bone. I'm back on the road. I had two months off.

And I'm back. So come see it. The kid's all grown up. I'm back. Come see my new joke that I've been talking about. I can't wait to tell it at a club.
