I'll take that moniker. You would be like a fun Dusty. Yeah, like a little bit more dusty. Like an uplifting, believes in the moon Dusty. Yeah, have a little bit more positivity than Dusty. He's always around the green room at Zany's. Something...

Something's going on. Something's not right. So you're a good time. They put it best. He said, Dusty's having a good time as long as everything's going his way. Oh, yeah. But if one thing goes wrong, that's the kind of guy you want, don't you? Yeah. He brings a good energy to this podcast. He has a good energy. I'll see if I can fill in for him appropriately. He's sick. He got sick. So here we go.

We would get John back on. People wanted you back on. Did they? Yeah. You know what a lot of people say, you know, because we were just talking about going up and doing some TV in New York. And I was like, anytime, any, because I was trying to fit in my schedule, we should go up there like on an off day, fly up to, and I was like, it's way more people that meet and greets are out in public or on Broadway say, we know you from this. Yeah.

oh really no one has ever said like we know you from laughs on fox oh yeah you know yeah they go we saw you on theo's pod we saw you on nate's pod we saw you on santino's pod we saw you attack my only credit job yeah come on no no but that's true i mean yeah we're it's like were you on laughs no no i thought you meant this podcast did your credit yeah that is yeah

I remember that. Oh, yeah. Remember that one? Yeah. What about the one with the- Dusty was on there, actually. Yeah. What about the one, it's on late at night, and the black guy- Comic.TV? No. Yeah. Is it the black guy's the host? Oh, that's- He's like, so you went to the mall last week. What's his name? Byron Allen. Byron Allen. He's a billionaire. Comics Unleashed. Yeah. He is a billionaire. The guy made a billion dollars. I think he owns the weather channel. Yeah. He owns the weather. He's Comics Unleashed. Yes. I've done Comics Unleashed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I've done Comedy.TV was another thing he produced. Yeah.

but comics unleashed is notoriously known for, uh, have we talked about it on here? I don't think so. It was like, everybody knows what it is. They don't know the name. They know what comics unleashed. So if you ever watch, it comes on, it's like an ABC, I think ABC or something at like late at night. I'm on the comedy on TV. Uh, it was on CBS originally, or it's syndicated. Yeah. Yeah. So, uh, Byron Allen, a brilliant dude, uh,

And he's a comedian. Byron Allen Folks. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's one of us. He's a folk. That's his last name, dude. So who is that? Byron Allen Folks. Byron Allen Folks. Yeah.

So, yeah, 62, which is insane. He's very young. I mean, that guy has been successful for a long time. I remember him on Real People 40 years ago. Yeah. It was a show on NBC, and he was one of the correspondents. But what did people ever say? 40 years ago, yeah.

We knew you from... I don't know, thanks. Him sound older or you? Both. Do people ever say, like, oh, I know you from, like, Comedy Central?

No, the Comedy Central would have been... I'm trying to think of before. When I got on Comedy Central, I think Comedy Central was still kind of like, people were still kind of watching it. Yeah, yeah. But you would never sell a club out. But you would... From it. It's all like, I think more now, it's kind of just like, I've been following you since... Someone will be like, I've been following you since I saw you on Comedy Central. But the amount of fans you had in was nobody. What was your premise on that?

So when he hosts this show, it's notoriously like he just would, out of nowhere. It's like on a couch. Yeah. And then he just goes around. So he's setting you up for jokes. So you have a joke. And let's say John has a joke about sharks. Yeah. And then Aaron finishes his joke about mattresses. Yeah. And so Aaron gets done and we're like, ah, that's great, Aaron. You guys, John, you've been shark diving before. Yeah.

And then you're just out of nowhere. And it says the, yeah, it's like very fun and funny. I did do it. And all the other comics have to laugh at the other comics. Yeah, you're doing their act. It's like doing radio. Bob and Tom is the same. Like they kind of set you up and go, how was school today? School's good. I've been going to school. My daughter's in school. You know, you get into your joke. But he would just make quick, abrupt jokes.

Like, you know, it'd be like, oh, that's great. He goes, John, you're scared of clowns, right? And then you're like, what? And then you'd almost sometimes like go, oh, I have a clown joke. It would come at you so random that you forget that you have the joke because the way he would word it

It was so good that he would sneak in there and be like, that's crazy. Yeah, I don't think if you're not in comedy, I don't think you would piece this together. No, no. That it was like choppy.

even when you're sitting there, it's hard because you're listening to a guy talk about his pet dog and you're kind of really listening to him. Then out of nowhere, you're just like, you sleep with a gravity blanket blanket. And I go, I do what? I go, I've never, Oh yeah. So gravity blankets, you've seen them for sale. What's the deal? You get real defensive at first. What's the matter? You,

I don't know if I ever slept with gravity blankets. Oh, I have 10 minutes on gravity blankets. Yeah. And you can't get in on...

the other guy's bit right yeah you don't go wait what there's no like you just let him go because the person's doing their act so like when you do bob and tom you would you're doing your full i'm trying to think like uh you know i still watch it it still comes out olivia like my olivia i can't even remember and say but like you know it's like you play golf right you play golf right i did play golf the other day uh

I was golfing. I went out and I'd say Olivia and I'd do that joke. That's how it's like panel on T. Well, what's the difference? Everything's setting everybody up. Yeah. Truthfully. Like when you go do this stuff, everybody has a comic, even the celebrities they're told beforehand, unless it's like a real, real interview and you do a pre-interview, uh,

you know, Howard Stern type interview or a long interview, like they would talk to you. Then you, that, then the, that interviewer takes you where you want to go. Yeah. But other ones you say like, Hey, I have a funny story about. There it is. I can't. Oh yeah. I can't find a higher resolution picture of this, but here's you on the, on the panel here. Who is that? Who else was on there? It's John Hinton. I believe. Uh,

uh, I know I'm blanking on her name. Esther. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that's the, the guy from, uh, uh, all the way on the, all the way on the, uh, what's the comic for super troopers? Yeah. Carlos or, uh, maybe Carlos. And, but yeah, it was, it was super fun. I mean, I was like, I was glad to do it. It is, he's done really good for comics. I mean, I'm not trash. He's really helped a lot. That guy's a smart dude, a business dude. Uh,

Like, I mean, really brilliant. I think he tried to buy the Broncos. Yeah. I mean, who thinks to buy the weather change? Like, I mean, it's just so good. Yeah. Yeah. He would just do ads, do these things. Good for him. I'm billionaire is tough. I mean, yeah, that's so it's a thousand million. Yeah, it is. It's a thousand million. Think about like four hundred and fifty seven million. Yeah. And then another million.

500. Yeah. Crazy. So many millions. I like it. Yeah.

is that you drive stick shift right oh yeah so stick shifts are crazy because if i had a bit i mean it's yeah if john was on there he would have to lay down on the floor it's like hey i gotta have this can you actually i'm standing i have two seats can i have a love seat you have to ask for a love seat he's like she have props now you guys

He just needs room to lay down. That's the whole... But if it's inside a place, like if it's with a studio, they laugh. Oh, yeah. Like they just laugh. Yeah, well, then the person does a joke, you know? It's sitting there like... But you couldn't bomb on that. Yeah. Aaron, you just bought a pumpkin, right? And then you're...

I mean, it's when you, that's what it is. People are going to watch it. It's not, it's like on the TV. Like if you turn on the hotel TV and it's on the last channel from like the news or the game and it's like, that's whenever I would see it. It's on every night. Comedy.TV. When I recorded. Oh, they have their own channel now. Yeah. It's just that show. Well, no, no. The show was called comedy.tv.

Okay, okay, yeah, yeah. Which, I mean, it's not the greatest. I have a Comcast, and there's a comedy channel, and it's all just Comics Unleashed or Comedy.TV. Oh, Comics Unleashed. So I'm on Comedy.TV, and when we recorded, I recorded with Keith Auerstadt. He did a thing where he, Byron and I recorded just a- He probably owns that. Oh, yeah. So now I guess he owns Comedy. So the first show was Comedy.TV. Yeah, Allen Media Group. That's crazy.

oh yeah no that's him i mean let's go john roy first comic i remember him really met and saw when uh yeah well it's just kind of like um you know how if you're like we had this discussion the other day if you're like miss alabama like how many years after are you allowed to leave that in your instagram bio

Or I think that just, that follows you the rest of your life. Okay, Miss Davidson, what about Miss Davidson County? Miss Davidson County, 1984? You gotta take that. Yeah, if you're a county, I think that's, I don't even know if you put it in there at the beginning. Yeah, you don't leave with it. But, yeah. Or if you're, if you're like Miss, yeah, if you're Miss. I mean, Davidson's a big county. It depends on, I guess, the, yeah,

But Miss Alabama, I think you know. Forever? Miss Alabama forever. Your husband's going to introduce you as Miss Alabama for the rest of your life. That's a credit you can have. When do you stop with the Comics Unleashed credit is what I'm saying. Well, you hope that you get to stop with it. That's the...

That's the key. I still have them, but it's not in my top. You get a stop when you top it. But so you got to hope that you can, you know, figure out a new. Did you ever have to like when you were like, you would say this podcast over. Of course. Comedy dot TV. Like you got to have something. You did Gotham Comedy Live, but you don't mention that much anymore. It doesn't come up. Yeah, it doesn't. But I had it for a while. I had it for a long time. You did Gotham. Yeah.

and on uh it was on uh axis or whatever it's when it's off comedy central when louis anderson hosts yeah uh yeah the comedy.tv i recorded my set and i remember they kept the same audience they would pay an audience like a lot of these tapings uh so if it's a big show it's i mean they don't have to pay but when it's not big shows so they pay an audience they recorded like nine shows i think whitney cummins hosted them

That's so smart, dude. Bonnie McFarlane, my host, went to. And so by the time I went up, it was towards the end, like eight shows in or something. I mean, this crowd is not even paying. There's no rhythm. On life support. Yeah. On life support. They would laugh. Why don't you walk that? They would laugh and...

But it was such a fake laugh. They were laughing at all the wrong parts. Like it was a robot. So you just couldn't. You were like, well, y'all are laughing at that. And I remember just seeing one guy just with his stares at their face. The whole show. Never smiled. I can still see him right now. He had a big kind of long fro head.

Yeah. And it was like, almost like, what's the Simpsons? Sideshow Bob or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. His hair was like, just kind of big like that. And I remember just, he just sat in his chair and just stared at me. He's like, why am I here? I mean. It's like in a studio in Burbank at like 3.30 in the afternoon. And he's been there for four hours. He's going to make $80. Oh, they paid the crowd. Yeah. Yeah. Oh.

You know, when you first start taping stuff, I mean, my full-time magic on Comedy Central, the crowd was paid to be there. And then Live Gotham would have been paid. Yeah, they were paid. Because you couldn't have... But it's like... Stand-up wasn't as...

Much of a draw. I would think if you take that stuff now, it's a little stand up a lot more of a draw where people are like they know stand up is a thing to go to. It's like in that cultural lexicon. Yeah. Stand up is. Yeah. But then it wasn't. I just taped a don't tell comedy special that I think comes out this week. It's like a shorter. Can you tell? I can tell. All right. But during the warm up comedian set, it was really interesting to watch them. They were looking at the crowd of like who who had just a bad face.

sitting out front, moved them. And then right before me, they took, they just like picked them up and moved them to the back of the crowd. Somebody was laughing. They look nice. You come up and sit in the front. So they did all that. Yeah. First ruler roadside beat sales. What's that? Dwight Schrute. Remember when he, they had that press conference and he moved the Phyllis and Stanley in the back and move the hot girls up front. That's what they did for sure. We did that in our, in our spec. And when I got, we can do promo at our show. And I was like, Hey, get like,

like attractive people laughing. Like, yeah, this is what you say to the crowd on stage. I tell my video guy, I go, Hey, like, like, I don't know. Is that a, is that a bad thing to say? No. Hey, it's, it is what it is. It's videos, TV. It's like, that's everything is going to do it. You just want people laughing, but yeah, my buddy up in, uh, is one of my best friends, buddy, I think in Chicago, he went, uh,

to a comedy show and then they were like filming it and he was like laughing at like another joke that wasn't that joke and then they put him in laughing at that joke and I think he got fired from his job

He was on stage? No, he's in the crowd. Oh. Because you go to the crowd shots and it was like some kind of topic that was like way, like very inflammatory. And they took a laugh from his other time in the show. And I think he got fired from his job. Whoa. That's crazy.

Well, they would, when you would do specials too. You got canceled from the crowd from laughing. Laughing at probably a regular joke. I wasn't even there for that. That was last Tuesday. I was doing at that show. The comms, they would, when you did a half hour comms intro, they would, they would edit it.

weird because the person would not care. So you would like have a, you could have a call and there's comics that would have a callback, but they don't ever play the original part.

So you could just be at the towards the end of the set, you see them go bananas and everybody's like, and at home people are like, what? They missed the beginning that said, Hey, something about banana. So they just at home, you're like, what? What is that guy talking about? But the guy that, the guy that probably edited it, like didn't, you don't get to say,

They don't ask you. They would come out and say, right when you got done. I mean, I remember taping it, dude. You walk...

Me and Chelsea Peretti taped the same night together. And right when you walk out, I don't know that they're even going to do this. They go, it's so just kind of businessy. I mean, they were very, like, these were big moments in my life. But someone just comes over because you just met with, like, I can't believe I'm on TV. I can't believe I'm doing this Comedy Central Presents. Like, I've watched these. It's crazy. And you get done doing it. You walk out. You're like, oh, man, that went crazy. And someone's like, rank your jokes one through ten. And I'm like.

Like a guy with a clipboard. Yeah. And he's like, just rank them. And I mean, you got to rank them before you get to the other side of the stage. Like kind of just being like, all right, I want this one in for sure. This one, you know, but you kind of, it is probably the best time to ask. I think I would have liked,

I need to see it. To just know beforehand, hey, afterwards, you remember what jokes you think. Just say it. Or we're going to send you a raw Dropbox tomorrow. Just send us back. I don't think Dropbox was invented. What do you think? 2010? No. What do you think the average person, you probably talked about this before, what do you think the average person thinks you would get paid for?

to be on the tonight show like 10 grand 20 grand uh i don't know now that's tonight show like a band if like i don't know i i there's part of me honestly that thinks people might think you don't get paid just because oh yeah maybe it's you're going on to advertise yeah like you're selling your show

Like whatever your thing is. But if you're a comic, you get paid. I think you get paid like $1,200. You get paid whatever the union thing is. Oh yeah, it's not filming right now. No, yeah. And it has been for a long time. But it's still on. They're doing reruns, right?

But it's like from a different time. I mean, most people, like I did a Conan. I guess it doesn't matter. I did a Conan. I had TV credits and still had a day job. Like I did, I had a Life of Gotham because Life of Gotham you made 600 bucks. Yeah. I think we made 15. Yeah, maybe. I don't know.

but it was, but it was like you, whatever you make, but you'd have to go. Cause then you're like, man, I'm going to get, what if I get, yeah, I did Conan. Just go back to your regular job the next day. And you're, and then you're like, God, someone's going right. You just think someone's going to recognize, Hey, were you on Conan last night? You're just like in the street, like in the subway or something. No, I thought that my job, I had one job where I worked in the Kravitz center. I think it was, it was called in New York. And I was just, I had a,

t-shirt that had like a question mark on it and my you worked conventions so someone's supposed to just come up to you and be like hey do you know where the bathroom is do you know where this is at and you just serve there to point at this stuff and so it was like i was doing that like after and i remember just all day i was like i was on tv last night and not one person asked me if i was on tv last they asked you where the bathroom was where the bathroom not one person asked in there hey have you were on tv last night on tv oh yeah

I guess I'll always get asked this probably my entire life, but this weekend I had a great set, got off stage and the guys said, no, do you do comedy full time? Oh, really? Yeah. I've always been asked that. I thought it would go away. I like that. I like that. Yeah. When you get asked, I like that. Cause they don't assume they think you're like dumb.

I don't mind that at all. You don't mind people thinking you're dumb? No, they're just thinking, unassuming about what we do. I don't have any problem with that. Really? Interesting. I'm in the perfect position if you think that I do other stuff.

Because you don't want people to like. Because it makes you look like. It probably. A regular guy. I think it hurts more for someone that is barely doing it for a living. Sorry. I mean, it was. I don't know how not to do it. Yeah, exactly. How do I not say that? You should have done it. I mean, yeah. No, I'm kidding. I didn't want to do that. I was going to say it if he didn't. Yeah. I didn't want to do that.

I don't know. We get like from our like booking, like booking at johnchriscomedy.com and someone's like, hey, we saw you last night. Our youth group has a lock in next fall. Can you come? I like that you saw what I did and you thought-

I would do that. Can you forward me that email? Yeah, sorry. I'll do it. Yeah, you're still going to... I think most of... I think my agents get tons of offers that are just insane where someone's like, can you come to my house for $300 and all this kind of... That's good. It's not... It means people... People just have no idea. No idea. So yeah, you're going to get that kind of stuff. I still... I've had a...

But it'll be like someone I don't know that doesn't know me at all. Like there's really have now where people, no one's going to say you do it full time, but I still have people who are like, this is what you do. Like this is when they don't know you at all and they just find out you're a comic. It's like that kind of stuff. But it gets, it was, I remember it being,

Because they would just say it kind of down. They were kind of like, yeah. It wasn't like, man, and this is like, you're, you know, you could be like, obviously it's your full-time gig. You know, you just want to, it's a tough thing to ask, but it's always asked as like, you do this full-time? And like, I'm notching you down somehow. And you're like, all right, man. Like, you know.

The only thing we said. You go, you just saw the show. He goes, I know. I did just see the show. I thought you were full time. This is what you do, huh? Yeah. What? Here's 50 bucks. People pay for this. Yeah. Okay. All right. I guess it's new every day. Is it? Yeah. Yeah. But the things that you're like joking about are very like regular things. Like eating McDonald's. Yeah. Or like those are things that like rich people don't do. Do they? Uh.

What's your point, John? Remember when we had that show at the golf course? Yeah. The very first. Legends? Yeah. I was doing these jokes. I had these jokes about fast food. And then it's all the people at the golf course that are members of the country club. And I go, I was at McDonald's. And I go, McDonald's is like a, you know, and it was like hilarious because they were. They own some McDonald's. Yeah. It's like a place where like people you ever seen that place. Yeah. But they would still assume that about you.

That I go to McDonald's? And me and all of us, yeah. I didn't think I'd go to McDonald's. I do go to McDonald's. So do I. Well, I said somebody ordered, one of the guys in the crew ordered Uber Eats to the tour bus this weekend. And I was like, he was going to go out. And I go, hey, give them also this $20. Tip them also this. Because they're definitely going to go...

who's in that bus on the way home. And think it's you who ordered it. And me, I go, hey, also tip this.

Because it's going to come back on me always. Yeah, John Chris tipped a dollar. It's jerk delivery. You just want to share that story? Nah, I just tried to get that in. I had a couple other things. That was the main thing I wanted to say. I didn't give him the hundreds I had. Whatever else he has to talk about as long as I got that in. They wanted $500 worth of food. Tipped for $20.

Where were you at? I was in Atlanta. I did a show for Dunwoody Christian School. Had to wear a suit for the first time. On stage? How'd you like that?

First, I did not like it, but I got used to it. Yeah. How long were you up there? This is like the jokes. These are the jokes. 12 minutes. Yeah. You know, first didn't care for it, but then I really settled in there towards the end. This weekend, he's out in a suit. Yeah. I would love to wear a suit. Yeah. Well, you could. Nobody stopped you.

But that would go against the thing. I think it would change everything. I think it would change everything. I think I could as I get older. You probably have cool, comfy shoes with a suit. I just had these very tight dress shoes that were very uncomfortable. And I was slipping around up there. But why did you have to wear a suit? It was a soiree event. I didn't know what a soiree was. A soiree? Yeah. Oh, yeah. What does that mean? A party?

I don't know. Apparently. But I said, it looked like it was kind of fancy. So I emailed the lady two days before and I said, hey, just what's the tire for me? So you didn't have to wear a suit. And she said, and I thought maybe I should wear sports because she said, it's a cocktail dress event. So she said, you don't have to wear tux, but a suit will be fine. Oh, okay.

Were they wearing tuxes? That's a tough position. No. The headmaster was wearing a tux and maybe one other person. Everybody else had suits on. You probably looked just like a teacher there, but you walked in with a suit. I did. I mean, you had to... The audience is like, guys, he... One more teacher is a comedian? You do comedy full-time? That was the lady who hired me. It was a full-time comedian. Yeah. Yeah, but I always say that about whatever. I was like, yeah, but I'm the comedian. So I don't...

Well, I'm not in these rules. That's a true argument because that can be done. I feel uncomfortable. Sometimes I'll feel uncomfortable. If everybody's wearing a suit, I would want to know that. I went with you to a hit where that happened. And I might not wear it. In Houston. Yeah. Was I wearing a suit? No, but you told one of your people, hey, next time, let me know. Yeah, I go, just tell me.

And I guess you might not wear a tie, but I'd maybe wear, I would wear a pull. I mean, what is it? A coat. A jacket. Yeah. I don't know. Sports jacket. A blazer. A blazer. Yeah. That's clear. There it is. He doesn't even own one.

But I would have done that. Just so you don't look like a buffoon. I'm going up there in jeans and a jacket with a hoodie on. And then you're like, oh, dude, I don't know where he's in Texas. But I've wore a suit on stage a few times. I definitely don't mind it. Maybe once I pass 50, I'll flip into a suit. Well, John Mulaney does. That's the only guy I know that always does, right? Steve Byrne does.

Steve Martin wears a suit. Yeah. That's like part of the, like I know there's like, there's like all the comics that have like dresses like they're like bow tie.

My good one was like bow tie comedy or like I know the guy with the tie. I know that he was like in – what was he in Denver when I was coming up? It was the guy with the tie. And that was like he wore a vest. That was like kind of the thing. Steve Hofstetter? Yeah, Hofstetter wears a tie. Yeah, it's like part of your thing. There's another guy in New York. He's from Chattanooga, but he –

I know. No, that's Pat Dixon. What did he wear? Suit. Yeah. He always wore a suit. Yeah. Yeah. But it's like, it's kind of part of the, like Derek who comes out with us all the time. We wear it. It's a very, that's like part of like the jokes make more sense because of the outfit. You go, Oh, I, how he's dressed is like a JV strength coach. Yeah. Yeah. And he's talking about kids being real Trent, not kids, but like when I was like that, it,

That lines up. Yeah. Yeah. They did. Yeah. I would, I, my act, I never felt like a suit. That's a suit act. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, it didn't really feel like super, I think you get older. Yeah. It's smart. Smart. Yeah. Intelligent, intelligent, regal. Yeah. It is to show the audience that he has made money before.

It's a suit I'll be buried in. Yeah. A suit seen it all. Emmys. Yeah. I want a suit that can do everything. Emmys, funeral, show. One suit. Like Crane. Graduation, yeah. Graduation. Yeah.

Where were you at? I was in Texas. I did a fun run all through Texas, Dallas, Houston, and then San Antonio for the weekend. That's a lot of people came out, man. Yeah. It was very fun. Dallas, that club. How come he's allowed to say that? And no one says anything to him. And I said one thing about tipping $20 and I get crushed. I always said a lot of people came out. Yeah.

He's just starting to do that. We're letting him have some run with it. I did a club on a Wednesday night. He told a lot of people he came out. He got made $20. There were some curtains closed all weekend. We were closing curtains. I love a curtain. They didn't even have a curtain.

I did a curtain. I've had curtains closed. San Antonio, one show, they opened up the curtains. That's a good feeling. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's nice. And then the next show, you're like, let's put them back up. Yeah. You know? But I did PPG Arena. They had the top curtain on the very top row behind me. Cool.

What a flex. I'm joking. Just behind. It's not even Ford. Because they had the curtain. It was behind me, so no one was up there. But they had curtain clothes. Now, our famous curtain closing was Caroline's.

on Broadway. Wonderful club that closed down that breaks my heart. Yeah. And, but they had a big curtain go down the middle. So it could be like 300 people or it could be cut down to like 120 or something. And I mean, it was just such a long, you would just know when it's your time to go to the show and then just see someone just like carrying the curtains. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And it's just being all shut down. We'll be fine. Yeah. What if a lot of walk-ups come? Trust me. We're good. We're good. Yeah. I think I had pipe and drape on curtains on the fifth row of one of my shows one time at a church. There was no... They put them in the fifth row. And I was like, yeah, but they came in from behind them. Yeah. So they know...

This church is huge. And they just put it right on the fifth row. The stage is deeper than the house. It's like, this doesn't help. Because they can put them on any row. Because the church is whatever, 2,000 seats. And there's 60 people there, maybe. Wow. Maybe.

And you're like, just, let's do it in another room. Yeah. Or just come sit on stage. Yeah. Yeah. Just do it in the lobby and set the seats. I've had, I've done a show where it was, we just put the people on stage. Cause there was that little people. Really? Yep. That it was, it was enough that it goes, we're just going to close the curtain completely. Yeah. The curtain on the stage and just set chairs up behind the curtain. And then you just do a show in front of those people.

I've seen, I've done a show that short. And then I did an arena in Canada. And when you walk to it, so if you ever, you know, go to imagine going any sold out arena show and,

And the stage is at the very end. Yeah. Right. And then everybody sits out forward. If you've been to music, anything, you can picture that ours was set up like that, but I performed on the side. That's usually the thing that's closed. It was. Yeah. Yeah.

I walked in, dude, and my stage was just jammed up against the basic hockey ring. As close as they could get it. And you're just talking to a very sporadic group of people. They were very wonderful. The crowd was great. The people that were there were great. I remember walking into the arena and it took...

Usually from backstage, you're to the front pretty quickly. This one, they had multiple semi-trucks.

just parked backstage that's how much room they had backstage and i mean they could have made it they could have made a turn that's how like there wasn't yeah they wouldn't have had to back it they're like just swing it around hey we can turn all the way around yeah i heard somebody say on a podcast i think recently they go if a comedian they go if i knew this successful comic because if i knew i if i had to do it all over again i i couldn't

Like if you had, I couldn't do it. It was so, all those, all that stuff is so emotionally, all those colleges and all those soirees, like it's just so emotionally taxing that I couldn't do it. That's true with so many things in life. Yeah. I couldn't do it again. No, no. Yeah. I think it's, uh,

Children. We're talking about just something dumb and fun. And just the weight of the world thrown over here. Just a gravity blanket gets dumped on the table. I got a one-and-a-half-year-old right now. Things are tough. Yeah. Bad news baits. Do it again. It's, no, but yeah, it would be just because when you do it the first time, you can't believe you're even doing shows.

yeah i have no i mean stuff stuff still stuff hurts and it's brutal yeah but uh when you have when you're not selling when it doesn't really matter about selling tickets because you're just you're just out there point where yeah that's expected yeah you but to go yeah go back to that stuff now i mean it would like we did we did the the elkhart county fair and like all like leading up to it it's like

We were selling like average of what I sell in a city. And they were like, yeah, but it's... Did you ever do one with me? I did the Washington State Fair. They were like, well, it's on the racetrack and it's an 18,000 seats. Oh, yeah. I go, oh...

But we're selling well, like three, four thousand. And you should be thrilled. Which is a ton. Yes, a ton. And I'm like, for three months, I go, all my buddies are like, dude, we're coming. I go, don't come. It's so big. It makes it look so big. Yeah, I did. When I first did the San Diego Fair, it was great. But my stage was pushed all the way to the end.

of the grandstand so you just they just push you all the way you wouldn't be in the middle you're just like yeah you're just like a corner of the grandstand because based on how many tickets they sold they set that stage that night and how far basically yeah yeah probably a little bit before they knew they were like i don't think we're about to have 10 000 walk-ups 10 000 people here yeah yeah so and it always ends up it probably always ends up everything you're stressed about it ends up great

Yeah, the shows aren't good. Fairs are... Always. It's fine. Fairs are hard because you think... Because they are so big. I mean, it can be a stadium type thing where you do a fair where you want to go, I don't know if I'm this famous to be doing some of these big things. Thanks for putting me on the roster with all these other... Yeah. Keith Urban and all these other...

Monster ass. Yeah. But Alaska State Fair was great. Yeah. But that was like 3,000 or something like that. Which that's so many. It was great. How big was the thing? It was about, I mean, it was packed where they did it was, uh, I'm sure they can make it. Yeah.

bigger but it was like very set up very well so just when everybody listening when they when somebody artist a musician or can be it says we found some we added some more seats that means they thought it was going to be this and they just popped them back one section yeah right

Well, whatever I say, a few tickets left. That means there's a lot of tickets. You'll have no trouble. I did radio and they're like, hey, you're going to be at Houston. I need tickets left for the show. I was like, I think there's a couple. Go fast. A few too many. Tickets are going fast. Are they? It's been on sale for six months. But usually some people say we just opened up

Some of that is like you have comps and they release the comps. It could be a sold out show that goes, we just opened up 12 tickets because of whatever. Doesn't Taylor Swift, I think she just puts them behind and they just have a screen behind in the stadium. I didn't see that. Is that true, Aaron? I don't know. Aaron? I don't know. What did he go? You're her friend. No, he's a friend. They did. He's a personal friend. Yeah.

I think behind you're like, you can get in there less, but there's like a thousand people show up just to stand outside the arena. Yeah. I've seen those videos. That's insane. Like on the bridge. And yeah. Yeah.

I wouldn't think of sleeping on the floor. But sometimes hotel room, weird bed, you know? Yeah, it's at 100 nights. I don't think you need a night.

To figure out if the mattress is going to be the one for you. You don't need a hundred, but they gave you a hundred. Just to be nice. But yeah, that's like the, it's like the similar with the Domino's pizza. You know, they're like, if you're not satisfied with this pizza, send it back. I go, no one that has received a pizza to their door, no matter what's on it. It's going to send it back. You're not sending it back for another hour to get a different, you're eating whatever. I'll eat whatever. That's why they say it. Yeah. Cause it sounds like, well, it's a great deal. Sending a mattress back.

It's a lot of work. Yeah. Somebody's got to come over. Fold it back up into that box. Vacuum seal it. Yeah. Football comments.

I'm worried you guys caught us. This is like a Byron Allen transfer. Yeah. You play football right, Aaron? Well, we're going to edit all that nonsense y'all talked while I was gone, so I figured. No, I don't know. It seemed like it was fun. We were doing an ad read. No, it seemed like a good time. Mark Grossman. If I could change a rule in the NFL, I would make kickoff field goals legal.

That would require the kicker to get the ball over 75 yards deep and over 10 feet high to clear the crossbar. This could result in a team scoring up to 11 points on a drive and allow teams losing by a small margin to remain competitive. All right. I don't mind that. I'll kick off field. You'd have to have that. It's going to have to go back.

Now they would make them all day. Yeah, you got to move the ball back a bit. Well, they're kicking them through the end zone so easy. I know the accuracy is harder, but you'd have to move it back a little bit. Maybe five yards. You could just end up doing, if you don't make it, they get it at the 25. If you do make it, they get it at the five.

or something. That's so funny. Has anyone ever done it? Yeah, they kick them through all the time. I did a, my draw bar came out last week and it came out on Thursday. I had a corporate that night. So I finally get back to my hotel room and I'm getting blown up with DMs from people. I'm like, oh man, my draw bar. Why'd you point at me for that? You're the DM king, baby. This is what you do.

DM all day. But I'm thinking, well, my drive-by is blowing up and it's all people watching Thursday Night Football. Let me know that. You know what I'm going to say? Yeah. The rule that I said about going through the end zone. I mean, everybody's like, you got to let Nate know. He said it never happens. Yeah.

Did he trash you for it? Well, he just said it was a dumb rule because it never happens. I don't agree with the rule. I mean, I'm fine with not doing it, but I was like, I don't think that happens enough that it's like, if I had to pick a rule. The next night. The next night it happened. The next night. Vindicated. I think in some version it happens every weekend.

In college, a pro. Yeah, yeah. I don't see it going through the end zone. Yeah, and then it's a touchback. When you fumble it, it's a turnover touchback. Oh, yeah. Because then everybody would just, the argument on the other side is everybody would just fumble it down the field. Yeah. But it should be, you shouldn't lose the ball. Yeah. It would be out of the one. Yeah.

But I bet there's a way that I bet it's kind of like you got to have your hands on it because then it could be like you could hit your hands and then you, you know, say, well, did you catch it? Did you not? I'm sure there's a reason. But I but you're right. You're right. A lot of people calling for the exact same rate rule change to on Twitter. Yeah, that was the whole reason he brought it up. I know. But I'm saying a lot of people are saying, let's change the rule. Yeah. Instead of it just happened and.

People are not happy with it now. Maybe put it back on the 20, but you still get to keep it. Because if you're out on the one, you have it at the one. If it goes in, the other team gets it at the 20. Yeah. Bates was right. So no one watched my dry bar, but I felt better because I would much rather have this. Joshua Clay Lott. What are these? These are emails from listeners? Comments. Like from Twitter, Instagram, YouTube. And emails. Yeah.

Joshua Clay Lott put a crossbar at the top of the goalpost connecting the two posts.

Let's make it a huge rectangle. There will be a lot more strategy involved kicking and would ask for more accuracy. Yeah. I don't hate that. That would be fun. I don't hate that. Wow. Yeah. You can't go as if you're on the 10. You can't just pound it. Yeah. Those short kicks would be tough. You got to chop it. The short kicks would be tough, but even the long, I mean, but you could do, you probably do more where you have to kick it lower. Maybe you have to go back up.

You know, be like, all right, well, the snapper needs to snap it farther than normal because we need to get a low one. Like there'll be more blocked kicks. That would be more exciting. And it's more obvious.

If they made it or don't make it. You know, baseball, when they change the rules, they just try it out in the minor leagues. They just roll it out to see how it will play. Yeah, you can't practice. But there's no infrastructure to do that for the NFL. There's no open mic. There's no open mic. I guess we could treat the Canadian Football League. I mean, they used to have NFL Europe, but I think that went away. Oh, good.

There was a guy that blocked one this week. He blocked a field goal because he timed it perfectly. Did you see that? No. He got a running start. He was out where a receiver was, ran in, and then he ran as soon as they – and they did it because he timed. He ran sideways to get running, and then right when they snapped it, he veered off to the left and ran behind it. And you have to time it perfectly, but he timed with the kicker. He watched the kicker. A guy was saying, like, this is probably going to change the game. You're going to see this now. Wow. He was a Patriot. Yeah. He was a Patriot.

Because the kicker does the exact same routine. You watch the kicker, not the guy snapping it. Yeah, and he just knows when to take off running. Genius. If you just have to time it out. Trevor Burkett. Nate, when you're in Cleveland in November, if you have time, take a quick trip down to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. And they have a helmet you can put on and listen to a play call. Oh, I like that. So you know, because you always see them

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You can do it. John mimed it. Yeah. For those listening. That's good radio right there, boys. Everybody stop. What's happening? They also have a lot of other interactive materials and a lot of great memorabilia. Love listening to your show and can't wait to see you in November. All right. Trevor Burkett, guy apparently owns the Hall of Fame in Canton. He said, like a guy that owned it. He would tell you where you should go. Come on down to the Hall of Fame. We went to the Wichita.

We went to the zoo.

Yeah. Cause you got to go to, you got to go somewhere. Are you on? No, if you're going to, he's saying you got to think of a thing to do during the day. Yeah. Yeah. Like, uh, speaking of things you have to, what do you do when you go, when you get there? Huh? What do you do when you get to a city? Yeah. You might go to golf. Yeah. You play golf. No, I barely have time now. It's hard to play golf. I mean, it's four hours. Yeah. I want to try to play. I was thinking about trying to almost like either practice or play some nine, but I don't know. It's just so hard. It's a lot.

I got to do a show. This is too much, do you think? No, no. I could see doing that. Something like that's good where you go drive down there and you just go see it and you walk through it pretty quick. But comics are not always going to be the most... We're not going to really go take it all in. We're going there. We're looking to spend a couple hours just to be getting out of that. And then we're just kind of breezed through it. Then...

Out of nowhere, I'll just be like, we got to go. Let's go now. We can't do it anymore. You weirdly get just kind of, I can't do this anymore. I'm going to go. It's every comic. I don't know if it's every comic. I do it all the time. It's me for sure. Yeah, I go. All right, we're done. All right, that's enough. I got to, you know, what are we doing? Scott Johnson. Babe Ruth hit 159 home runs in his first 674 career games and had a 35-18 win-loss record in his first 455 career innings pitch.

Shohei Otani hit 160 home runs

In his first, no? Shohei. Shohei. That wasn't that awful. Shohei Otani. He'd turn around. Shohei, yeah. That's like saying, Shohei! That's like saying, Ken Griffey Jr. He's so popular, you shouldn't miss that. Shohei Otani hit 160 home runs in his first 674 career games and had 35-19 win-loss record in his first 45 games.

455 career innings pitch. So it's the same thing. Makes Aaron look stupid. Yeah. So Babe Ruth and... I don't think it does. What is this a reference to that I said that the comparison was silly? Baseball. Yeah.

I know that. I can't remember what I said about it. Nate said, you said no one's ever done it. Nate said Babe Ruth. He was like, it's ridiculous. It's completely different. You said, yeah. Well, I'd have to dig into the numbers. I mean, if you want to. I'll bounce you. Scott Johnson dug into it. Yeah, I think those are them. I'm sure you can find some numbers that fit your argument. You know what the guy said?

He was up to bat. Shohei Otani was up to bat last year. You ever read that guy that got fired? He was up to bat. Shohei Otani was up to bat. You can look this up. And he goes... So we did the Elmer Fudd impression? No, he goes... Jack Morris, I think he used to be for the White Sox. They were playing the White Sox. He goes, on TV, they go, how do you pitch to Otani? And he goes, be very, very careful.

He said that. Oh, really? He was doing Elmer Fudd. He was doing Elmer Fudd, but it sounded like he was doing an Asian accent. Yeah. Why would he do Elmer Fudd? Because that's a... I know you didn't watch cartoons as a kid. No, okay. Wow. But there's... Do you know Elmer Fudd? Yeah, I know from... Bugs Bunny? Six Flags. I'm hunting wabbits. Be very, very careful. Oh, so... But it sounded Asian. He would say, be very, very careful. Yeah. But it did... In the context of Shohei Otani being a bat, it did seem like he was doing an Asian voice. Oh, wait. Is that true?

Yeah, I think so. I think it was an Elmer Fudd voice. It was just unfortunate timing for him. Yeah.

He's very, very careful. It was wild. I mean, he probably thought of it the night before. He probably was like, oh, it's perfect. Ask me this. Travis Kelsey, he scored a touchdown on this, and he's been rumored to be dating Taylor Swift. And Ian Eagle, who's the announcer, goes, and he found a blank space, and he's open for the touchdown. He said that. That's pretty nice. And that's one of her hit songs. I would have been proud of that.

And it was like all over Twitter because you're like, dude, that if I would be like, I got one. Yeah, you would have written a hundred. Oh, yeah. When you're like Mark Jackson, you're announcing the NBA finals and LeBron has you. I'm sure you have like a bit, not a bit, but a line at least. Yeah. You have stuff in the holster. You squeeze it in that you're hoping that situation.

I remember the Auburn-Oregon game, the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Brent Musburger calling the game, and it was a field goal at the end of the game. And he said, this one's for all the Tostitos. And I remember that he thought of that. Oh, yeah. He had that line. Yeah, yeah. He had it in the holster. Yeah, I think they know they're going to say it, and they got to just a matter of. But it's like one of those things where if you get it, you're like, oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. And if you don't, it doesn't. It just goes over your head. Everybody wants their, do you believe in miracles? Yes. Everybody wants their iconic line. I can't remember the last time there's been an iconic sports line like that. I wonder if you should get somebody in there. Better than most. What is that? Tiger Woods, when he makes a real long putt. I think it's better than most.

Better than most. And he made this crazy long putt on the... I haven't heard that. Oh, it's a giant one. Huge. Yeah. Better than most. Did you think he goes, he tells the other guy, yo, I got this Travis Kelsey line. Or do you think he just like keeps it? Yeah. Better than most. Yeah. You start it and then the guy ruins it. Better than most. He goes, that's a pretty good putt. Better than... That was my time. How do you not know better than most, but you're bringing up the Tostitos? Yeah.

This is all the Tostitos. Acting like I'm crazy for knowing better than Monty. Your most famous line you know is, this is for all the Tostitos. Is that what...

Is that what you said at home a lot? There you go. This is for... We were a big Tostitos family, for sure. Oh, you're like, oh, yeah, that's me. I was trying to think. Mike Heath had the Music City Miracle call for the Titans. Yeah. But is there like a line from that that's still quoted? Well, he said, it's a miracle. And that's how it kind of became known as the Music City Miracle. Did he say it's a Music City Miracle? He didn't say it's a miracle. Oh, really? But it's a miracle. The Titans have pulled off a miracle. And then it started being called the Music City Miracle. Okay. But yeah, you wouldn't have planned that. Yeah. Yeah.

No, I think some of it is really, I would imagine, do you believe in miracles is off the cuff? Like that's just an emotion. That's what I like. Those are going to be the best ones. The one that the person doesn't even realize they probably said it. Yeah. Really? All you can do is an announcer is like, you're going to be canceled now at some point. Cause you're like baseball announcers got three and a half. Imagine if we had to call a game and we got four.

If you have two guys and you're just like, eh, it's dry. And you're just like, you're going to say something dumb. You're going to say something that's going to, and they're going to be out. And you're like, dude, God, dude, I was talking, you know, hard is to talk that long for hours and not say something racist. Yeah.

Come on. Yeah, it's not even our fault. Yeah, come on. Give me a break. I mean, come on. What's the guy from? That's why they shortened baseball. The guys were getting canceled. Screwed the game up. That's fun. The Jack Buck.

call on Kurt Gibson's home run. Yeah. I don't believe what I just saw. That one's a famous call, but most people, that's not even how they learned of it because it was on TV. Vince Gulley,

I'm drawing a blank on it right now. Most people watch the World Series on TV, Vince Scully call. But Jack Buck has kind of got the famous radio call that probably not many people even heard live. And that's the one, I don't believe what I just saw. Yeah, that was Jack Buck. Yeah, with him doing the fist pump as he's rounding the bases. Yeah. That's my first, I want to say one of my first memories of baseball. Watching that game? Watching that game. Whoa.

Oh, yeah. That's awesome. When he was running and doing that. Wow. Kirk Gibson, was it? Yeah. Dodgers. Speaking of the goalpost, when Alabama was versus Auburn. The kick six. Oh, my God. We can't listen to him, can we? We can't listen to him. I grew up an Alabama fan, but that was good. Was Vandy's most iconic golf? No, I don't think they won't play it. Yeah, it won't go. Right. What's Vandy's most iconic golf? Hmm. Uh. Oof.

Baseball? Our field goal kicker got MVP. That was our punter. Our punter. That's even worse. Our punter, yeah. The girl. And he had a rough one. I mean, if you could have watched the Van Dien LV game this week, go. If you, if I told someone my brother-in-law is here,

And we watched a Vanderbilt, you know, LV game. And I said, this is what it's like being a Vandy fan. And it's a perfect game to show a career of being a Vandy fan. Just 17 and nothing immediately. We're up. Yeah. They immediately tie it back up. Uh,

pretty quickly. And then we get up and then we have it. I mean, Vanderbilt tie ball game. We have an interception on their own, on their 30 or something, an interception on their 30, less than a minute left.

What do you think? We did not win, but what do you think would have happened? Down, just run the ball up the middle and down it and run out the clock. Yeah. No, we'll kick a field goal. Oh, yeah. Kick a field goal. So you think worst case, we'll go to overtime, right? Yeah. We lose. In regulation. In regulation. What happened? We run the clock out to nothing. Yeah.

Try a field goal, miss the field goal. They get the ball back. It's a pretty short field goal too. Yeah, not crazy long. It's tied. I mean, it's like unreal. Like, oh, we're about to pull this game out. We missed the field goal. And then they throw a 40-yard bomb. They catch it. And then they kick a field goal and make it. And they win.

That's being a Vandy fan. In a minute, dude. It went from them driving with one minute going like, just please stop them to like, can you – do we got an interception? We could just kick it now if we wanted to. It was that close. Then you don't think you could ever lose in that situation. You think you can go to overtime. We're going to overtime. I'm sorry. We called a timeout. Remember also, we could have just let the clock run out and at least go to overtime.

And we called a timeout. I don't know if you remember that. And the coach was like, who called the timeout? Yeah. And then the next play, they throw a bomb. Yeah. Gone. Oh. And we lose the regulation. Oh, we called? Yeah. That was us called it? Yeah. Now, the...

Hold your thought what you're about to say. The announcers said, you know, I'm surprised Vandy's not calling timeouts, you know, maybe get the ball back. And then sure enough, Vandy did call a timeout and you read Clark Lee's lips and he said, who called the expletive timeout? It's like one of the kids. Who? Who?

And the announcer's like, oh, boy, I just read his lips. And then you're like, well, I feel like you should call a timeout. And then the next play, they throw a bomb. And you're like, oh, that's why I didn't want a timeout. And then they call it a timeout. They're going to set one up. And then we, and Vandy lost. It's always so easy to read a coach's lips for football games. I remember being a kid being like, whoa.

They're just yelling crazy stuff at the team. I followed the Falcons game yesterday on ESPN, and they have the win percentage. So if you're up by four, and there's a minute left, and you have the ball, it's like 99. And you're like, so that one must have been like...

You're like, how? How? If we have the ball with a minute left. The win percentage is like 97. I don't think I ever give us over 40. They're like, qualified. I mean, if you're a Vandy fan. I mean, look, I love Clark Lee, and I hope Vandy turns all this stuff around. We've had problems that they, like, me, him, and our buddy Ryan text about Vandy all the time. But, like, we have problems that go beyond. Oh, can you? There it is. Can you? How do you do that? Wow.

What do you mean? I've never even seen this. That's the Vandy win percentage. Here's the win probability graph. And then down. Right here at the end with 44 seconds left. No, it went up. Hold on, keep going. Yeah. That's all the way. You can't zoom in a whole lot more. That's how quickly this changed. It was 80% at one time, right? Yeah. Then it's wild. Yeah. There you go. I mean, it's crazy. They should have that. I mean, we scored a lot of points. I mean, just...

I, you know, it has to run through, it has to run through like you or something to like adjust it for the reality. Scroll down to the fourth quarter just to see. So yeah. TD field goal, field goal, TD, TD. Yeah. It's a, yeah, man, we went crazy.

So, John, our favorite player plays for the Falcons. Who's that? From Vandy? Nate Landman. Who? Do you know Nate Landman? No. He had a big place yesterday. He did. Playing for the Falcons, right? Yeah. Oh, he plays? Yeah. Can you show this? It's right under. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Nate Landman. Yeah, he got to get him on the pod. He follows us. We've been following his career since the draft. He didn't mispronounce that. That's his real name. His name is Nate Landman. Nate Landman.

Really? Nate Landman. He just made his first tackle? I guess everybody wants to DM about that. A fan sent it. A folk sent it to us. Sweet. Rooting for you, Nate. Let's go, baby. I'll be following him. Steven Sonderman.

Throwing a football into the stands at an NFL game is a $7,000 fine. Probably why everyone is not running with Nate's brilliant as always idea. I don't know if that's a passive. I can't really tell. Brilliant as always. Brilliant as always. I'd pay the seven grand. And then you throw it back in the NFL and go, I wanted you to give that to charity.

surely i take the football price out of it right and but the rest of it goes to charity they won't they wouldn't do that but who is it that yeah you know just do it every pressure yeah public but they pressure everybody else no it was a uh phil palisade was a comic that i came up with in denver he said if you get you're in hockey professional hockey player hits somebody else it's fifteen thousand dollars he's like

based on what they make that's the equivalent of like you like you worked at mcdonald's hit somebody three dollars you're like i would do that every day oh yeah if that was the penalty you could punch somebody in the face for three dollars yeah that's like three dollars yeah or like whatever the equivalent is in that in that kind of money yeah for what those guys made you hit him once and throw a 10 down keep the change i got two more coming yeah that's the penalty yeah

Seven grand. But I guess if you're a wide receiver, that's no money to you. I think they maybe said second offense is $10,000. It goes up. Starts to add up. Straight cash, homie. That's an all-time line. Straight cash, homie. Kelsey kicks his in the stands a lot. He's rich. Yeah. Yeah.

He's Dayton Taylor Swift. William Feltz. Regis Philbin hosted a national game show phenomenon and was on TV every morning for like 30 years. Rudy was portrayed by a hobbit for 90 minutes. Is Jon Favre the second most famous Notre Dame alum, Nathaniel?

Another passive aggressive. That's why I put it on here. Yeah. Why are they back to back? Well, I liked it. I'm sorry. Brian curates the comments. It's not obvious. So that's being you or being passive aggressive to me. Brian also writes most of these. If you picked them out, that would be. I thought they both made some good points. I'm sorry. You could have just said throwing football at Stan's. The game is a $7,000 fine. That would be. That's all you need. He said. He said the other thing you put in for sure. He can't run it with Nate's.

Brilliant as always idea. You're like, I mean. But that was the part that made me like it. I read it. It's in a different font. I'm like, that's just crazy. Yeah. And then that one. That's added in there. Is John Favreau. Is that. I mean, golly. Now, it's basically two different arguments. I'm glad I'm going to be gone for a little bit. Yeah. It's two different arguments, I would think. So, We Just Film In is obviously the more famous film.

So he's probably the most famous Notre Dame one. That's a problem, by the way. What? That's their most famous alumni? I don't think he necessarily is. But he's given a lot of money to the university. There's a lot named after him. Oh, I thought that's who you threw out. But anyway. It's a fun one to throw out, I think. Nate's just saying, your argument is, if you say, name someone who graduated from Notre Dame, Rudy. Because you know for sure. I couldn't have told you who Regis Philbin, where he graduated from.

Oh, okay. That's fair. So Rudy's probably somebody that... No, but nobody knows the real Rudy. He's not recognizable. That's what Aaron said last week, but you still know he went to Notre Dame. So this guy's making fun of me because I said Rudy. I said Rudy over Regis Philbin. Regis Philbin is, I'm sure, for a name like William Feltz, sounds like he's... Roasted. 80. Yeah. Regis Philbin is a young whippersnapper to this guy. But I mean, people also got to realize...

I know Regis Philbin. I know William does. Bates does. We're old. Nobody knows who he is. No one knows anybody who's 30 and under. There's no way Regis Philbin comes to mind.

I mean, when he hosted the, Kathy Lee, when did he, when he hosted the, he wants to be a millionaire. I mean, that might, I don't, how long ago was that? It was the nineties. How old is he now? He was born in 1931. Oh, he died. Yeah. Uh, he's also well-known original host of the 19 from 1999, 2000. How long did he host the, who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire from 99 to 2000? It's gotta be more than a year though. Yeah. Uh,

I don't know. I feel like Meredith Vieira took over pretty quick. I would say Regis... Well, I said Rudy. I think you might go Rudy at first. You would just say Rudy. Held the Guinness World Record for most hours spent on US television. Yeah, yeah. That's pretty crazy. It's crazy. It's all crazy. But do we have the full years of him running? Regis Francis? Who wants to be a millionaire? How long was he...

It was on like three nights a week. And that show was awesome. Do you remember that? Yeah. It was great. Still on, I think. It debuted in 1999. And then Meredith Fiera took over in 2002. But then brought back in 2004 with Philbin. Must have been a super millionaire. Yeah. It wasn't that long. It was like a show that long. So you're looking at 20 years ago, that show. So...

And before that, I didn't know who he was. Before that, yeah. They're 20. They don't know who he is. Right. So much less, even if a person's born in 97, 98, which is a 24-year-old, a 30-year-old is like, they would have been a baby. Yeah. They wouldn't have even seen. Yeah. They might know him as Joey Bishop's sidekick on the Joey Bishop show in 1967. I wouldn't know. Are they going to know Rudy? Yeah. Yeah.

Rudy's just, there's so many memes of Rudy. The reason any of them know anything now is because of memes. Harper will know some scene from some movie because of a meme. So I don't know if Rudy has made it to the meme world, but I think Rudy has a better chance with the younger generation than Regis Philbin. More emotion. She's saying Regis Philbin, but I'm thinking about...

you know i'm trying to do a joke on this but it's stuff's older than you you hit a point where you go oh like it's i live in a different world than these kids now yeah yes so we have a we talk about on our podcast so you could have just said that and not been aggressive but maybe it's the back maybe i wouldn't have thought it is i don't honestly i don't know if i would have read it as aggressive because i didn't understand it at first well because it said nathaniel

No, no, just because I forgot the whole thing. I think you were still coming in hot from the previous comment. The guy who said you're brilliant as always ideas. And you kind of projected a little bit onto William. So he doesn't deserve that. So I think if you saw William Feltz comment were earlier, you'd have read it with a little more. If he felt could be even if Nathaniel wasn't on the end of that, would that be a fine?

Uh, John Favreau, the second most famous Notre Dame. It's not spelled right. Nathaniel spelled wrong. Uh, it's A-E-L, uh, which is the way we do it. Hmm. That's a fun fact. Nathaniel. I think it's Bates throwing them back to back, which is crazy. It's crazy. Put that up top. How would you put it back to back? I mean, there's one, two, three, four, five, six emails. I'll be sure to spread them out next time. So it's not so obvious. Yeah. What have I done to you?

That's for a different podcast. I haven't been around. He's like, oh, just wait. Have I been around? I haven't seen you in a while, it feels like. Yeah. It's good to be back. What do you guys do on the podcast if he's not here? We still put it out. Oh, y'all do it? Yeah, like Dusty did it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, because I'm going to miss a few, right? I'm missing a few because I'm on the run. What do the fans say when you're not there? I guess they like it. Yeah. I mean, I know some people like it.

They do. A lot of people like it. People try to be nice to us then. So there's no guest host. But they're excited when he's back. Sometimes there's a guest host. There is a guest host. We're about to have Vecchione host one because he's going to be here and I'll be gone. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, we could have, you know, you could come in and host one. Well, not host it. We'll see how this goes. Yeah. Well, yeah. It just would be all, yeah, it'd be all y'all. Yeah, you'd be in control of them too. Seems like a lot. Yeah.

Put that on. We'll put both that on your plate. I'll take it from here. Yeah. New rules. Listen up. The young and the old appliance part to comment. So we talked about appliances one other time. Appliance part one comments. We already have already been through that. Not doing that. Okay. Two separate episodes on appliances. Yeah.

It may do a third. Yeah. That's what I host. We were even talking about the laundry room. Appliances part three. You will be appliance part three. Yeah. Kate the Great. If someone had told me that one day I would get extremely excited to see the word appliances part two, I wouldn't have believed them. Yeah. How about that? They like it. They like it. If I remember correctly, appliances part two is one of the hotter episodes we've done. It was hot. Yeah. And Kate the Great is that's

Her at on Instagram, or that's just her Facebook name, or what is that? I don't think that's her last name. I believe that was her YouTube handle. Yeah, there's no comment on that. We just leave that alone. You can. I mean, she's great. Self-proclaimed. Well, he's great. What's that, Seinfeld? Well, he's a... You call me Jerry the Great or something? Yeah, she's talking about the... She's talking about the maestro. Yeah. Well, he's a maestro. Well, I am great. Yeah. Yeah.

Something. Yeah, I don't know. It's crazy that water stays cold in that the whole time. I know. It's cups. Oh, that was on appliances part one. Okay, my bad. Shoot, shoot, shoot. Dang it, dude. Sorry, you're right. And people have listened to this on a radio and no video. So he's drinking out of a cup that's insulated.

It doesn't, there's no, I said it before. It's been here. It's freezing one. Uh, they've been around. I doubt Regis Philbin probably had one, but they've been around for a long time. Rudy drinks out. Rudy, Rudy definitely drinks out of them. That's like a point of it in like embarrassment for people that you shouldn't be embarrassed about as things that you don't know. Cause you weren't alive.

You're like, what? You don't know about? You're like, what? I think William's been alive for a lot of stuff. Oh, yeah. With Bates. I mean, he's for all of them. Every morning. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going. I'm sorry, William. It's not fair. It's not fair.

Lance Wallace, appliances part two was another thing of beauty. Great episode inspired me to suggest a new way of naming your episode. Start with the topic breakfast has selected and researched. Then follow it with a topic or topics the guys spend the most time actually talking about in parentheses. I wasn't really enthused. Enthused? Enthused? Wasn't really enthused.

Is that it? There you go. That was close. You nailed it. Enthused. Enthused. It would turn around. It would turn around. I wasn't really enthused about more appliance talk, but the hidden topic of infomercials was so much fun. Keep spreading joy. All right. I'm not against that. Yeah, it'd be fun. So this episode will be...

Georgia and in parentheses Regis Philbin. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Featuring John Grist. I don't mind it also being like, here's some other stuff they win. You know, the idea. And that's good. Might as well change it up. Who's breakfast? Or what's breakfast? Because they, they always said his name wrong. They've done that for a long time. I don't think people want to. Oh, it's just any B word. Yeah. It's any B word. Yeah. Yeah.

uh but i could see beauty would be a good one for you yeah beauty but nate doesn't like to be called nathaniel so yeah i don't mind being a thing i just said you spelled it it's iel it's because of your joke right it's a joke that's the joke yeah i have nothing that's a callback it's honestly a sign of respect and it's a callback to the jury you know what william respect john knows nate's act better than dust yeah yeah dusty doesn't know i do comedy uh

Matt Duvall. Duvall. How in the world did Nate not pitch the Aaron Webber walk-in cooler as his appliance to sell? Bigger gentlemen everywhere would have wanted to get their hands on that bad boy. That is true. Yeah, you can definitely tell he's, Brian's selecting these comments. Yeah, yeah. Because it's just going after everybody else. Well, that wasn't, yeah, that is true. Going after him. But I had an idea that they should, because what was it? You wanted, like, for big men everywhere to,

For the bigger gentleman, you would have a walk-in cooler at your home that you can go cool off in. I said if I had all the money in the world, I could start building stuff like that in my house. I'd build a walk-in freezer to just walk in there. Because he gets so hot during the day that he would want to then come home and walk in a cooler, freezer. That's a lot of meat. That's a lot of meat in there. Well, it is a lot of meat. That's why they want to go in there. It's...

To be that hot. Yeah. What about like just a shower? Yeah. Well, it's not the same. They don't want to get wet. He just wants to go stand there and just chill out a little bit. Yeah. Just kind of like. It feels nice. Yeah. You know, just get the stains off. I like that. Yeah. Just can't see the wet stains. When I worked at the country club, I'd go, can I go take a smoke break? And they'd go, yeah. Then I'd just walk in the walk-in freezer, stand in there for five minutes. Still smoke. Five minutes. But he would do it inside the walk-in freezer.

freezer it wouldn't put it wouldn't go out would it what do you mean the walk-in cigarette in there i don't think so it's not a vacuum chamber yeah it's too cold yeah you can smoke in alaska yeah yeah oh yeah no it's just too cool if you're in like a cooler wouldn't yeah isn't there airtight in there uh you have to figure that out if you're gonna figure that out yeah yeah you're right i'll do a little more research on this because i think there's enough air to probably oh yeah

to do when i worked at chick-fil-a we had one we walk in but did you think that a cigarette couldn't light if it's too cold you're thinking about like a fire when it's not like it was air gone yeah like in space you can't smoke a cigarette in space well that's because there's no oxygen yeah and that's what i thought and possibly no space yeah so there's just a little double whammy there yeah

You could light it up, I guess. You could light it up. This next comment is crazy. Brian Bates. They should smoke in your helmet. Oh, yeah. Because the guy just got a cigarette in his helmet. Inside. Inside the astronaut helmet. Yeah. Yeah, you can hotbox it. Man, that guy's hair, it's a smell. He takes that off, he'd be like. That's like, how does it? Can you smell in space? I don't think so.

How does it get interesting question? You can smell in the spacecraft, I'm sure. But if you were just floating out in space, no, no helmet craft doesn't have oxygen. I mean, I guess if you turn the, it does have, they're breathing pretty good. I mean, it'd be, you're floating.

Yeah. No gravity. Yeah. But maybe. Gravity and oxygen are different things. No, I'm talking about gravity is what leads to the smell. Gravity could the smell wouldn't fall, I guess. Yeah. It'd go to the top. It'd go to the top. Yeah. Dang. You'd see it go up there. It would just sit there. Yeah. There's no direct way to smell space. However, researchers have identified compounds and elements within the galaxy, men or which are also on Earth. The smell of our solar system is pungent.

Because it is rich in carbon and low in oxygen. Oh, okay. Stars have aromas reminiscent of a charcoal grill. I like the smell of a charcoal grill. Oh, yeah. So space smells good. But if you were doing a spacewalk and somebody farted, you could smell that? I don't know. I don't know if I want to type that in. It smells like space. Yeah.

Well, what is in a cigarette that it stays in like a car? You can't ever get it out. The smell. Yeah, but nothing else sticks like that. What's in it that you're like, you can never sell anything else in a car besides cigarette smoke? Yeah. Well, cigar smoke stays, yeah. Does it? I think so. Maybe not as bad as cigarette smoke. If you lit a charcoal fire and then cooked a hot dog in a car,

Would that stay in there? It does stay in there pretty long. Because you can't smoke. You go to a hotel room, you can't smoke in here because you can do anything else. It just kills the room. Yeah. Optimized portfolio. Man, that's a crazy name. As a nerd with a degree in math. No, it makes sense.

It was cool to hear the birthday paradox mentioned. Indeed, the paradox works because it's not asking the probability of you sharing a birthday with someone, but rather of any two people in the room sharing a birthday. With 23 randomly selected people, there are 253 possible pairs to consider. Fun fact, the probability reaches 99.9 when you reach 70 people in the room. Wow.

It's fun. So if there's 70 people in the room, there's a 99.9% chance that somebody, I saw that clip. I saw that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's fun. A lot of people said that we were just wrong.

And birthday is you here in the clip that was posted. I said it when I said it correctly at first. Yeah. And then I misspoke saying it the second time saying it had to be you. Yeah. It's not about you sharing a birthday. It's about any two people in the group sharing a birthday. Some people just didn't even believe the paradox. They're just like, there's just no way you guys are.

But it is right. Some guy, I saw a comment. That's not what a paradox is. Idiot. I'm like, how did you name it? That got him. Well, did you ever start out when you start out with comedy as the host? You're like any birthdays? Yeah.

this weekend we're still doing that jones headlining in a suit my closer yeah in a suit it's my closer he ran quick it's like close yeah there's always i got a paradox for you guys count as it well what's the philosophy behind that did i tell the story about the someone asking for the birthday oh yeah wait wait i told it on i know i probably told it to y'all but i don't know if i've told it on

The guy who had the bit about birthdays. Yeah. I love that story though. I'll tell it. I might've told y'all all, I don't know if I've told the audience, so I apologize. and, but there's a, the comic, he would go on stage and he would, he would say he had a joke where he would go like, uh,

uh, who's got a birthday coming up. Someone say, I got a birthday coming up. And, uh, and then he's like, this is how they would give you your birth, say your birthday in a Chinese restaurant. And this is just a joke. I'm not, I'm just, but he was like, happy birthday to Rue. They would say it like the mispronounced. And then you go, happy birthday, dear customer, happy birthday to her. Like, so it's, it's making fun of, uh, right. Uh, Elmer Fudd. They speak. Yes. It's basically doing Elmer Fudd. Yeah. Uh,

There's really no reason for anybody to have a birthday. Like you don't need someone in the room to, you could just say, here is my impression.

of a Chinese restaurant singing happy birthday. You just do it. You just do it. Yeah. So he goes up and he's at the show and he goes, all right, who's got a birthday coming up? Huh? There's not a lot of people in the crowd and no one has a birthday coming up. And he starts pointing, he goes, what about you, man? And he goes, I just had my birthday was a month ago. He goes, all right, what about, he goes, nobody has got a birthday. And you're, there's really no reason to be again, but you just go into the bit.

He's already started. Holly's going crazy. And he goes, yeah, so he just keeps going around. What is she doing? The dog's going crazy downstairs. Somebody must have... Holly! That worked. Yeah, thank you. She can probably smell it. I go down there, there's a Chinese person at the door. This whole...

That was fast. Yeah, I'm working. And we're fun. We're having fun, dude. He goes, what have you been doing? You want us to talk for two hours? I can't. Twice. Twice.

So he keeps asking. And so he's like, someone else's birthday? Who else's birthday? And someone goes, I don't... They go, what about you, buddy? When's your birthday? Because my birthday is not six months from now. And I mean, nobody. And finally, some guy just ends up... It's like someone needs to just... Yeah, they go, my brother's birthday is tomorrow. He goes, all right. All right. I'll take it. I'll take it. And then he does the joke. I'm in. And it was like, there's no reason for... He could have just do it. Just do it. Yeah. Maybe you guys are like, hey, any of you guys...

drive cars like yeah yeah yeah just do just do it just do the job yeah uh car me girl 9902 i have been has there been that many car me girls i think so uh

She's like, I got under 10,000. I've been re-listening to old episodes. And between that and some of Brian's comments today, it's odd that he's kind of laughed at about some of his points because he definitely has a broader scope about a lot of things than the other three. What are these comments? That's fake. That's not true. Wait. Yeah, I couldn't. You were nodding the whole time, so I couldn't. I was agreeing with her. I know, but I just saw it in my head like a parrot.

going off. That distracted you from reading? Yeah, I mean, you're nodding. You were nodding big nods. And so then I'm like, it's already so many words. And then I got my peripheral is, you know, seahorse nodding back and forth. I've been re-listening to old episodes and between that and some of Brian's comments today, it's odd that he's kind of laughed

Oh, he's kind of laughed at about some of his points because he definitely has a broader scope about a lot of things than the other three. Thank you. I get the impression that he's been exposed or at least allowed himself to be mentally open to much more than his personal bubble, which is interesting considering Nate has lived in more places. You go, girl. Yeah.

Is this you writing that? No. Huh? No. You don't have a bigger scope of things. I'm taking up with Carmody Girl. Yeah. You have a bigger scope of what you think stuff is because you've read about other things, but you've never experienced. You haven't lived other things.

But there's every week. He's like a commenter. He's the media. He's the media that reports on the media. He's biased. He's fake news. He just reports on and invades his world. He goes, well, they're not doing that. Have you been there? No, I've not been there, but I just can't imagine it happening. He said that. There's hundreds of comments every week. These are the ones that you've selected.

Yeah. Today. Yeah. They're all good comments. Look, the reason I put that one in is because read the next one. Okay.

Jay Kramer, 324. Breakfast's ignorance of the Foreman Grill sheds a lot of light on the waffle fiasco. Fiasco. Fiasco. Funny, interesting contrast in those things. Yeah, yeah. One is don't act like you're like, don't worry, guys. I got myself good on the next one. The brief. After six. It makes it look funnier because...

I mean, she's saying that, and then I don't even know what a Foreman Grill is. That's true. I knew what it was. I just never seen one. But the very, very. He's never seen a Foreman Grill. Yeah. And I poured syrup in a waffle maker. Yeah, we did a poll on that. Oh, yeah. And what did they say? It was like two thirds thought that was harder to believe than never seen Shawshank Redemption. Yeah. What do you think is more ridiculous? Nate never having seen Shawshank Redemption, the number one rated movie of all time, or Brian never having seen a Foreman Grill?

That one for sure. The movie over the Foreman Grill? Foreman Grill is only in hotels if you choose the breakfast. That's the only time you'll ever see one. There's a good chance John Chris has too much money to even know what a Foreman Grill is. Do you know what a George Foreman Grill is? Yeah, the thing that you put it down, right? Everybody would have them in their house forever. In the 90s, I don't think they have them. The 90s? We got one downstairs. Yeah.

We have those in college. He's saying he's never even seen one. He didn't know what they looked like. He'd never seen one. He'd never seen one. I may have seen one at someone's house, but I did not know. If we would ask you to draw a picture of a Foreman grill, you would not have been able to do it. That might be true, but

I don't come on here every week and talk about inferior grills that I've seen this past weekend. Talk about that. What?

I said, it may be true, but I don't come in here each week and talk about inferior grills that I've watched this past week. Is that someone? I did that. Your movie reviews. You talk about worse movies than Shawshank Redemption. John's a big fan. We went to where Shawshank Redemption was filmed. We went to the prison. Speaking of things you do during the day. We went there for an hour and we were like, let's leave.

We did. We go, hey, you want to read the... I'll just look around for a little bit. I don't think I need to follow the guy who tells you where to go. Yeah. I'll just... John, you've been in the Spokane Aquarium. I'll come call back to the magic. These are very... Let's just say at minimum, these are very Brian-centric. These. Unusually so this week, Brian. You have to forbid that I... Yeah. Because I never get made fun of on this podcast. No, no, no, no, no. I agree.

But I think usually this is just because you usually do do a great job of. I don't think it's. Yeah, I think it's that you put the back to back.

The passive-aggressive ones. And then we went from there with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It just stuck out a little this week. That felt a lot. Nothing wrong with it. I thought they were funny. It was funny. Well, yeah. Clearly, I didn't think so. But it was great fodder for Nate's rage. Yeah. There you go. Got something out of it. That's what keeps this podcast rolling. That's true. Why don't you tell us about Rocket Money? Rising prices stressing you out? You bet.

If you're looking for ways to cut costs, you need rocket money. You could be wasting money and not even realizing it. I mean, I've got a million subscriptions that I sign up for. I talk about a Mad Nauseam podcast. You got to get rid of them.

Rocket Money is a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps you lower your bills all in one place. Most people think they're spending $80 on their subscriptions. Get out of town. You're probably spending closer to $200 because that's the app. Nate Land Podcast is brought to you by Progressive Insurance. Most of you listening right now are probably multitasking.

Like they said, hey, can you give us permission to post this? And I was like, ESPN, of course. But then they cut out my jokes, the funniest ones that they didn't think they were a little across the line for them. Oh, wow. And you're like, dang it. If you want to just take it and cut it, that's fine. But don't... It's like the art. Those are the funniest jokes. Yeah, those are the best ones. Yeah. That's what I think about art when I see that. Yeah. It goes...

Me and all the artists. We got a clip from a funny artist, John Crist. Go to him right now. He's a football coach. He's kind of the same. Thank you. Filmed this at a Goodpasture game. Local high school football game. Knock on Goodpasture. What game was it that you filmed it at? Dude, we filmed that at a, it was a band, like all the high school bands. You were playing out with us.

I wasn't there. Yeah, you were. No, you didn't. Oh, you weren't. Maybe you weren't. We went out to the, it was after a show and I just said, dude, I got this funny idea for like a football coach. I saw that video before I knew who you were. Oh yeah. Maybe it was before that. Yeah. We went to this football stadium. Yeah. Well, they go, well, you were out with me. I wasn't.

That's how I found you. 2017. You've been doing it for a long time. 17? Yeah. 2017 is when I made that video. No, 2018 probably. And you didn't know who he was in 2018? Mm-mm.

It's worse than George Foreman grill. Oh, probably late 2018. I first saw him with, uh, that you remember that it was late 20, John, uh, John Witherspoon. Yeah. And you did citrus. I remember that. Yeah. And I was like, that's the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. And I was like, come out on my tour and do that. And he never did it once. Yeah. Citrus, a joke. Yeah. Yeah. Citrus. You don't like talking about it. It's a voice that I did.

Oh, you did a voice on stage? You didn't know this? Not only did I do a voice, it was the cornerstone of my acts for many years. I was like, this guy is hilarious. You don't know about this thing? I never describe him physically. You just can tell what he is. He's not going to do it. Sorry, dude. My bad. I didn't mean to bring that up. But I saw I was in the back of...

Zany's and I was like I don't know who that dude is but that is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my whole life and I go Lucy who I don't think y'all even knew each other or did you they were married yeah we're off on the timelines we're way off on the timelines but I go that's who is that guy that's the funniest thing I've ever seen and then we start coming out with me thanks man how about it what were you that was your closer oh yeah dude in my opener well I was closing on a bit on the Lion King bit so

I can't judge. Yeah. More recent. Yeah. Early 2023. A couple days ago. Didn't you have your first closer for like five years? I don't know. It was the exact five years. You'd have one big joke. Your first closer. Like your big joke. You'd have a big joke. At the beginning of your career. Oh, yeah.

Well, you shouldn't get rid of it. You should just keep that closer. No, no, no. Because nobody knows it. No one knows it. Mine was a trampoline. A trampoline bit. You remember that bit? No. What's the trampoline bit? No, I'm not going to do it. But yeah. Jumping up and down. What's the deal with trampolines in the backyard? You and those rich kids put it in the ground. I don't know. Just tell me about it. Stumble upon it. Yeah, you got it. Yeah, I got the gist of it. Yeah.

Kids these days, probably some of that. When I was growing up, yeah. Oh, yeah, I do remember that joke. You were like 28 when you were telling it. Oh, yeah. Kids today. Kids these days. They don't go outside and play. Did everyone... Every comedian has had a kids these days? No, there's a good chance I have a... Yeah, I have a whole thing right now. When I was growing up. But I'm trying... The idea of it is... It's not really... I'm not...

In my head, I'm not doing a kids these days, but the way it's like a... It is kind of. But I'm mentioning some old stuff and then like it's just the times are just crazy. Yeah, but everybody has like a... I think I learned from you because at the exact same time that I had a kids, what's the deal with these kids with peanut allergies? You had a... It's not their fault that they have peanut allergies. And I was like...

And now, like, I've heard, like, some podcasts are like, dude, whatever is, like, in the environment that we didn't have, like, we have it. So... Right.

It's like an old, it's like an out of time. It's like an expired bit. Kids these days, like when I was going down slides, there were metal in the monkey bars and you could pass out or whatever. Remember the merry-go-round? You just go on every playground. Yeah. They don't have them anymore. Yeah. Remember the monkey bars? Swing sets were crazy. We used to have swing sets, too. Yeah. That was the bit. This week, we're talking about Georgia. Georgia. John, you know anything about Georgia?

Yeah, tons. Wait, is this not the end of the episode? No. It's a new episode? We're just getting started. This was the topic. We just have gone on. It's been good. So this was the topic. We're going to touch on Georgia a little bit. Oh, here we go. When you were on here a little bit over two years ago, this was the topic, and we never got to it, so...

I dusted it off. And you were like, you were like, and yeah, we were on an apology tour. No. Yeah. Get that out of the way. Sorry. We didn't get to cover that first. George asked us not to be dragged down. Did you cut the Georgia stuff? Their PR was like, not yet. Oh yeah. That was the first time I ever did a podcast. Yeah. That was one. Yeah. Did you guys get any, any trouble for that? Uh,

No, I don't know. No one said anything. Got some comments, but yeah, we did. Yeah. He's got them. He'll put them in. I'm surprised there wasn't one today. John Chris part six. Yeah. I think I told somebody I go, it's cool that comics can like comics can build other comics. Comics have been made popular by other comics. Yeah.

like Rogan or like you have the power and I have the power in my pocket to bring people on. They were like, this guy, you don't have to wait for TV or anything. Yeah. A lot more control. When, when, yeah. When some people come back, they're like the media may or may not, but the podcast, you're like, yeah, come on the pot. It's wild. Do it yourself. Yeah. Different time. Here we are. I had all those, all those premises about Georgia and I've been sitting on it for two years. Waiting. When am I going to get the opportunity to defend the state of Georgia? Yeah.

Well, Georgia, it was one of the 13 original colonies. Knew that. The last one. Oh, barely got in. For a while. It was 50 years after the first 12. Oh, really? Then it went 13? Who was 14? There was no 14. It was the last one. But they wouldn't, they just go, that's enough?

Well, then the Revolutionary War happened, and then they became states. Yeah. Named after Prince George II, I think, right? I think he was a king by then. King George, not Prince George. Oh, yeah. Prince George is like now. Yeah. Yeah. Because that's like my middle name is Barack, and I'm 39. And I'm like, how would I be named after? Do people think you're named after him? Yeah. I'm like, timeline-wise, now, granted, we haven't had our times totally in check. Right, right. But how would I be named after Barack? Is that a biblical name? Yeah. Barack.

Old Testament? Yeah. How many years have you been 39? Mm.

you know cut to two years ago you say it on the podcast all the time yeah like how old yeah you've been 39 yeah yeah that's when no it's uh no i think you are 30 uh aren't you 39 you're 39 yeah uh

King George II, see you. There you go. But you forget, you can tell when a bit gets old by sometimes how you say it and then you're like, my daughter's two years old and she's seven. You're like, God, I gotta quit doing this joke. Yeah. Or like something, I saw somebody do a bit about like, my son was wearing these jeans that were so wide you could hide all kind of stuff in there. I go, oh,

yeah that's an old that has to be old oh yeah these kids with their baggy pants yeah yeah something like that yeah they're not really doing that i heard one about with byron allen uh actually he had a joke uh where he had a joke about the usually you ever use a pay phone yeah and you put a dime in there and so the joke is so old that it's like it's been i remember i think i've talked about that i've never paid phones being 35 cents

All right. And then they were a dime. So it's like, it's, it's a, no one's using pay phone. And then you're two prices off. That's crazy. Yeah. He hasn't adjusted it for inflation. Well, I don't know. I don't say he does the joke now, but it, but you end up just saying like that stuff can, can, I mean, he's been busy buying the weather channel. So it's like, Oh, you're going to do some old joke. And then you're like, yeah, we're not, I mean, no one even really knows what a pay phone is.

Or like getting a, you're like, dude, after like I had, I'd go outside and get a taxi or like, yeah. What? Yeah. You ever go get a cab? I mean, that's, you know, and it's. At least you could still do that. Yeah. In some, yeah. I can say on Broadway or, but yeah, you would change it to an Uber. Like I've been doing this bit for a while. Yeah. Yeah. Who do you guys think is the most famous person from Georgia? Ludacris. You had that one ready to go. Yeah. The rapper? It's like you. Yeah.

Remember Martin Luther King? Oh. Oh, shoot. Yeah. I didn't know. I never knew where he was from. No one does. Yeah. This is like the Rudy thing. Martin Luther King or Ludacris. Yeah. Ludacris. Regis is our Martin Luther King. Yeah. That's the title of the episode. I think I might have very old. I might have said Herschel Walker. Herschel Walker. He's even from Georgia? Yeah.

I mean, he played at Georgia. I think he grew up in Georgia. He was born in Georgia. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. That's a very old one, though. I don't know why. There's in my head. That's that's the name that popped up. Well, he made headlines with Georgia recently. Yeah. It's not crazy. We got we got Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Hicks, Kenan Thompson.

It's a weird list. No, comics. It's the weirdest lineup of all time. No, comics. It's great. It's comics. From Georgia. How would you structure that show? Yeah. Let's see. Kenan Thompson guest spot. Where is it? No, Kenan Thompson's hosting. Oh, you're right. That's it. You're right. Yeah. Bill Hicks. Bill Hicks. Yeah, you know. He's probably got to close. Versus Foxworthy? Over Foxworthy, dude? I just think Foxworthy doesn't want to follow. I would bet Jeff would be like, you close. Is it now? Yeah.

Are you doing all... Well, Hicks is dead. Yeah. But if you look at the primes of their acts, just what they talk about, I think Foxworthy...

I feel that's what I would be like. Let me go before just because I'm not going to be, you're going to, you're, you're going to get them all riled up and like all this kind of stuff. It's like just a different kind of vibe. Everybody else's vibe. You, you and Foxworthy and Kenan, everybody's vibe is kind of the same fun. And then you need Hicks to come in and then be like, he's got to close. Yeah. What about you? You put Bill Hicks up, then you throw John up after him.

And then as a, and not as much time. Yeah. You could do that. You could do that. Like I'm a guest spot. Yeah. I'm the guest spot. Yeah. But it's everybody, it's everybody in their prime.

Yeah. I mean, he might be keen. If I'm Foxworthy, he might be like, I want to go first. Like go Keenan Foxworthy, then John. Yeah. And then Bill Hicks. Hicks. I can lie to you. It's a pretty good show. Yeah. I wonder who that, yeah. I mean, cause everybody's like, I'm from, like they don't claim that they came up. Yeah, I thought Bill Hicks was from Texas. They don't come up in that state. Like I came up in Denver. I would be like, where did you start comedy? I was like, Denver, I'm from. I started comedy in Atlanta, Georgia, the Laughing Skull Lounge, but I'm not part of that.

graduating class or whatever you call it. I mean, how long is the laughing school? When did you start? 2009, June 23rd. I remember the laughing school being put in. The new little place. Yeah. It just opened. Everybody does one or two things. You either invite everybody or you invite nobody. Your first time ever doing stand-up. Which did you guys do? I think you invited everybody. Nobody. Really? Nobody. Oh, wow. I thought you had your whole family. Nah, I didn't tell them for three months. I didn't tell anybody for three months. Because

Because you would have been punished. I was in Chicago. Because of what? You would have been punished. Yeah. Wow. It was like a weird... You're doing what? They had no concept of what that would... Why would you do that? Yeah. It's hard to explain. Well, some other...

famous people not as quite as famous as those all right so what am i i thought i was doing the stats rolling stones you're doing it i'm just defending it or just saying yeah i just want to hear your opinions yeah gotcha i don't know he came in this i think it's because the tone he said with his yeah he said off of it yeah comments that he thinks you're attacking yeah whoa you're right hill hicks died at 32

He was so young. Oh, yeah. Wow. He's my age. How do you know about Bill Hicks? Huh? Just from seeing it? I'm 100 years old. I mean, I have no- We're the same age. Huh? We're the same age. I'm 44. He's five years older. But I remember when you start, like you're saying you started at a place that I remember them opening. Oh, yeah. The laughing school. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But when I came up, all anybody talked about was Bill Hicks.

Everybody, that was everybody's like, who's your favorite comic? They would say Bill Hicks. At the Laughing Skull, they have the Bill Hicks rules for comedy. Back in the green. Great point. That makes sense now. Yeah. Interesting. Number 13 on the Rolling Stones list of top comics of all time. Really? Yeah. Bill Hicks. As of 2017. Anyway. So Georgia. Well, some other famous people. Jimmy Carter. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I guess he's got to win, right? Well, he's one of them. Over T.I.?

If anybody's listening, I just want them to know John couldn't be more serious about all his answers. Ludacris and T.I. Do you know who Kenan Thompson is? Do you know who Jimmy Carter is? Yeah, it's the president. Yeah, Habitat for Humanity. Just for how we grew up, that you would say, yeah, he wouldn't. Well, this is all time. Yeah. Young Jeezy's not in there. Yeah. Young Jeezy?

Yeah. That's a current person? We started that. Hip hop is everything. Well, that's not the state of Georgia. I guess that's Atlanta. Yeah. But Atlanta is also 60% of the population of Georgia. Atlanta is 60%. Okay. So there's like six, seven million in Atlanta, and there's probably like 12 in the whole state. Yeah. What's the demographics on that? Is he from?

He was born in South Carolina, but he relocated to Atlanta. Oh, yes. I guess I can't credit him. Young Jeezy. Young Jeezy. He was a toddler. I feel like you're a toddler. You move somewhere, you can take it. Yeah. All right. A-Con and Young Jeezy. Nothing? Nothing.

Kanye? Oh, yeah, Kanye West. We don't claim him because he's not part of the outcast. Outcast is Atlanta. I should have started with outcast, I guess. If Kanye is, I mean, Kanye could be. He's born in Atlanta. I mean, he might be number one. He spoke at a Christian youth conference. Oh, dude, when he was three, he moved.

I don't know who you replaced, but... Oh, that's so funny. I forgot about that. I know exactly what you thought. When Kanye West is the guy you go to for some morality, who was the guy before? Let's just say they're both from Atlanta. Richard Jewell. Heck of a lineup, dude. Richard Jewell being the one that gets the update.

I would say Kanye's got to be your number one. Yeah. But he's like, you know, like the, like you, you, you're like,

You're in New York, right? With your career, you're a New York comic. Yeah. Yeah, you're not a Nashville comic. I don't think Kanye counts for Georgia. He moved to Chicago when he was three. We don't claim him. That's fair. We don't claim him. Oh, and he probably claimed Chicago. He talks about Chicago. Yeah. That's true. Ray Charles. He talks about other stuff, too. I can see that. I can see that, yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Some more here. Lauren Alaina. Wait. She's from Georgia. Yeah.

If y'all aren't familiar with Orna Lena, she's a country singer. She lives in Nashville now. Let's see what else I got about her here. Bates is unhinged today, dude. He's... Bates Unleashed. He's been bottled up, man. We haven't let him do a podcast for a little bit. It's the tea. I'm on the tea now. We haven't let him steer the ship in quite some time. Wow.

I like how he sat on that for two hours. He sat on that for two years since the last time you were here. Yeah, I did this in June of 2021. Yeah, he's been ready. He sat on both of those. Kanye West. I know. He came in hot today. I respect that, dude. He's as the kids say, he's sassy. He's out of pocket. Yeah. But...

That's good to know. I didn't know that. Really? Yeah. It's cool. All right.

Um, you guys got a lot of good songs. You got Georgia on my mind. Yeah. This isn't a setup. Yeah. This is a real, it's a real, uh, midnight train to Georgia. The devil went down to Georgia. Yeah. Yeah. Why Georgia by John Mayer. Oh yeah. Okay. I don't know that one as well. Yeah. It came out in the last 30 years. That's why it's classic. John Mayer from Georgia. Is it, is it as famous as the three I just threw out? Uh,

No. No. All right. To be fair. To me, it is. But Georgia. The broader public. Do you know Georgia was a penal colony? I did. I did not know that. Because I just went to Australia. Oh, yeah.

Georgia was? Mm-hmm. That's how you got started. It was guys that, or girls, I guess, they couldn't pay their debt. And so they sent them there. That was the plan, to send them there. Because nonviolent crimes, send them to Georgia. But also, South Carolina was their top colony. And I just learned this. And Florida was ran by the Spanish. So they're like, let's put a buffer to protect South Carolina. So we'll do Georgia. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

I did not know that. I knew about the fire. We had that. Yeah. You had a big fire. Atlanta. Yeah. Burned down the whole thing. Civil War. Yeah. Yeah. I haven't heard about that. The march to the sea. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So General Sherman went from Atlanta to Savannah during the Civil War. Yeah. Burned Atlanta to the ground. Burned it to the ground. Oh, yeah. We will rebuild. That was before me, too. Do y'all still say that? No. No.

We have a checkered past. That's a good way to put it. Georgia has a checkered past. We will rebuild. Yeah. You'll say that at the Falcons game? We're 2-0. We're undefeated. Amen. Reloading. Are you a University of Georgia fan? Nah, Georgia Tech. We hate Georgia.

You're just like, I'm a Vayner fan. That makes so much... I can't even make fun of you because I'm... You're like, I've never related to John. We actually... So when I was growing up, like Georgia Tech, we had split national championship with Colorado actually in 1990. We were... Georgia Tech was like... And Georgia was horrible. And we were like... And all growing up, Georgia Tech was like... It wasn't like...

And then I was like, you know, you get older and you're like, I should stop with these like rivalries. Like my buddies that like love Georgia. And I'm like, listen, I'm not as like, do we have a top five recruiting class? Like calling in the radio stations? Like, what are you doing? You're a grown man. Right. Yeah. But then Georgia, when they were undefeated last year, beat Georgia Tech, uh,

Their fan base was so insufferable. It was like I reignited my hate for the University of Georgia. And I'm grown. I hate. I wish no success on anyone from the University of Georgia. None. I don't. Well, they're having some. Yeah, they are having some. I don't like it. I just don't like it. They look very beatable this year, though.

But you think you would graduate out of that? Yeah. Josh Brooks, the athletic director. Yeah. Big fan of the podcast. Is he really? Oh, yeah. I went to the Georgia game with him. The national championship. National championship. Wow. I went to it when they played Alabama in Indianapolis. Destroyed TCU. He's a fan of this. But if they win, no school's ever three-peated, right? In the modern era? Are they not? I don't think so. They're not going to win, though. No chance, dude. What's the modern era?

Well, I guess that's debatable. When they move the goalposts. Well, I was going to say, at least during the BCS and National Championship. Yeah, no, it's been three years. Eight years ago. Well, the National Championship is, BCS has been. Since four years. 25, I guess. Now we'll beat them on Thanksgiving. It's Thanksgiving weekend every year at Georgia Tech. So Georgia Tech's your college team. Yeah. All my brothers, I didn't get accepted. I didn't know that. I didn't get accepted. All my brothers went there, though. It's a really good school. Yeah.

But it's like everybody's like a nerd there or whatever. And it's like all the jokes are like, you're going to be working for us. That's why they rejected you. Yeah. This guy's too cool. High academic standards. This guy's elite. This guy's too cool. We talked about once before Operation Big Buzz. This is in Savannah where they dropped mosquitoes on the city. You know this? And Bill Gates is doing that now and everybody's critiquing him.

oh yeah he where is he doing it now he's dropping mosquitoes on uh it's in like africa or something like that not in africa yeah i know about the yeah in savannah they're all still there by the way if you ever go down there it's brutal what oh the mosquitoes there it is right there yeah well i'm trying to find oh maybe it's not true i'm trying to find a site that's not ebom's world do you know what the georgia guidestones are uh no

it's these uh these two pillars that were put up and it's like they call it the georgia stonehenge they were like oh yeah what city uh doesn't say no i mean i just don't know could you the georgia guide stones yeah yeah this is i've never seen that before this is a part of the podcast we'd love to have dusty here for yeah um is a granite monument it is it says was oh connected yeah somebody blew it up

Really? You knew about this? I didn't know about it being blown up. But you knew what it was? Yeah, I'd heard of this before. It's Elbert County or Elbert County, Georgia from 1980 to 2022. 19 feet tall. It weighed 237,000 pounds. How are you talking about granite monuments and you're not bringing up Stone Mountain? Well, I was going to get there. Oh, that's our thing.

All right, Stone Mountain. Let's talk about that. I've been to Stone Mountain. Yeah, everybody's been to Stone Mountain. Light show at Stone Mountain. Oh, yeah. Stone Mountain's canceled, though, by the way. Is it? Yeah, it's canceled. Oh. It was the Confederate generals. Oh. Yeah. So what do they do? Do they still do the light show and stuff? No, nothing. Nobody goes there because it's problematic to even be seen there. Well, they just call it a different mountain. Well, they have the Confederate generals on the mountain. And it's like...

The nose of the Confederate general is like the size of a school bus. It's like, and it took like a hundred years. Like you're not, you're not getting rid of that. There's some arguments that they re they opened it a hundred years to the day of Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Yeah.

Stone Mountain. Yeah. No, I'm not. I don't think I'm on the side. And then those were carved. What year do you think those were carved? I don't know. I know it's very problematic, the history of it. The 70s. Later than it should have been. It was the 1970s. No, it was shut down and they re, like somebody was like, we're giving them money to finish it. And they polished it up. Yeah. After the Remember the Titans season. Yeah.

I think the timing of that was right. You said the 1970s? Yeah. Timeline-wise. Yeah. But that used to be like... Yeah, I performed it. I was in Tulsa this weekend at the Brady Theater. But it's now the Tulsa Theater because Brady, whoever it's named after, was like a leader of the KKK. So they were like, we probably got to just...

We got to switch that name up. Yeah. I would have thought Wayne Brady. It should have been. I would have thought Tom Brady. Wayne Brady. Is he from Tulsa? No, he's from Atlanta. Wayne Brady. He's also on our list. Y'all got everybody. We got everybody. Let's go. Is he? Columbus, Georgia. That's where he's born. He's hosting.

Wayne Brady's hosting. Yeah, we've just added him, I guess. Oh, yeah. It's going to be a long show. Yeah. Late ad. Bruce Bruce is going to pop in at some point. Dude, this show's going to be six hours long. I'm getting behind on these ads. So, Dave, tell us about BetterHelp. BetterHelp? I need some now. Nice. Yeah, I do. Do you ever find...

And I was like, I think I'm good. Yeah, I would be good on that. I don't mess around with water. I'd like to get in with those sharks. They're like whale sharks. Their mouth is not big enough to eat. I don't care. I think their mouth is. They don't. Maybe they just don't. Yeah, I would get in there. I think it'd be awesome. Yeah.

Yeah. To get in there. But, but like the people are down below, like, and you can get in there and like, they watch you. You don't get a ride. No, I don't think you get to ride. But that's what we were on when we were in, uh, no, I think you swim with them or something. I might do it. You're going to ride it. No, I don't want to get wet. Yeah. When you're in, like in Africa on a, uh, safari, uh,

I'll give you a quiz. Do you know what three animals out there eat meat? Lions. Lions. Hold on. Hold on. Let me think about emus. No. No. Ostriches. No. Lions. Hyenas. Kangaroos. I got two. In Africa. Yeah. I got two. Hyenas. Lions.

The human beings that are out there. Buzzards. No. Birds. Buzzards. Cheetah. Cheetah. Yeah. So you're like, if you're like an elephant and a giraffe, they're like, well, they don't.

You could be, they don't eat or, but elephant could mess up. We were out there in open air. Yeah, hippo is one of the dangerous, most dangerous animals. Yeah, but they don't eat humans. Yeah, but they could. Yeah, they're very, like the, yeah. It's almost the fact that they don't do it makes it scarier. Elephants are the same. They don't. They would kill you out of joy. Yeah, they do it for the love of the game. They don't do it for sustenance. In defense, not to eat.

But that's crazy that you really think only three animals eat meat. Yeah, because the cheetahs have to kill a gazelle and they drag it up into a tree to eat it up there. It's unbelievable. Did you see it happen? Yeah, yeah. We were out there in an open-air jeep. And I was like, this is terrifying. And they were like, no, they think the jeep is an animal. And they also have never...

been in conflict with it. The Jeep has never... So they're like, now if you step out of the Jeep, it's over for you. But we don't have a machete or a gun or nothing. How close are you to it? Right there. The guy didn't have a gun? No, nothing. Nothing. Because he's like, we live in harmony. And then the Jeep has never attacked them and they've never...

I was like, and they, I would have a gun. Yeah. We were out there open. I was like, dude, no, we just pulled right. I mean, within four feet of lions, just going to town. Just someone just say, just say, I have a gun. Right. Just lie to me and tell me you got a gun. They're like, nah, they'll never do anything to you. Yeah. Just eat. As you watch it. Just inside of a zebra. John's making a video. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

People on safaris be like, this is a lot. Christian mingle. Also, they don't hunt during the day. So you're not worried. Unless there's an extreme famine or there's a wildebeest everywhere. So they were in the hierarchy of they would never do that. According to them, again. But isn't that the same in the ocean with a shark? It wouldn't eat you.

I'd be the one that happened. They can't. It'd be so embarrassing if they've never eaten anybody and then I'm the one that gets eaten. Big boy, got it. Now they swallowed him whole. Yeah. Look, you see him swimming. You're like, you can see him.

See right there. Maybe we see a snake. It's going to see Aaron's impressions. Like Han Solo in the great white belly. Yeah. And there he is. There was a guy that dressed himself up in a metal, a metal outfit and then got swallowed by an Anaconda just to see what it was like and go inside of it. Somebody did that. I think I remember that. Yeah. Yeah. Magician. Yeah. It was something. And then he was going to like cut himself out of it or something like that. Paul Rosalie. Yeah.

27-year-old. Filmed himself getting swallowed by a 20-foot-long anaconda in the rainforest for a Disney Discovery Channel special called Eaten Alive. That's crazy, dude. He wore a snake-proof suit. Oh, wait, and he failed to survive. Yeah. Does that mean he died? Oh, jeez. Oh, sorry. It's a dark turn. I thought, oh, my bad. Failed to survive. You gotta say that different. He failed to survive. They're trying to be nice. That does seem like a weird way to say it. The stunt itself was called off due to safety concerns. Oh.

He did not swallow, but the title and it was widely criticized for false advertising. Okay.

We learned right now that it happened and it didn't happen. Yeah, why did that other thing say fail to survive? Maybe it's two different guys. Maybe it's saying the show failed to survive. Yeah, maybe. Go backwards. He's going to get in a metal suit. He's going to get in a metal suit. Yeah. Can you click on that? Why does that be an incident of a shocking act and he failed to survive? It allows himself to be swallowed. Man, it allows himself to be swallowed. I mean, talk about...

I mean, that's, yeah, it's like huge. So he's like, I'm going to, yeah, yeah, there is this metal outfit. Oh, that's crazy. I can't find the word survive is not even in this article. Well, anyway, Coke was invented in Georgia. Oh, by the way, our greatest export.

You can go anywhere on planet earth and you're not within a one mile of a Coke. That's made up. No, that's made up, but you can go anywhere. You can go anywhere and you can get a Coke anywhere in the world. The Coke museum is awesome. Yeah. Then they got all the different Coke's from the different, what, what is the best, what's the best way to, you guys would consume a Coke? Drink it. No, there's like 15 different, like,

things weighs a bottle 12 ounce an eight ounce a 20 ounce a two liter with ice from a mcdonald's yeah mcdonald's would be how i would do it styrofoam cup from mcdonald's no just what mcdonald's does is that a styrofoam cup they have plastic cups i would get the regular i get the thin side prefer the styrofoam i have the i don't like the paper clip didn't they just change their policy

There's too much sugar in it or something. No, I don't think you can go fill it now. Oh, yeah, they take it away. They do it for you. What a shame. End of an era. Really? Yeah, they're taking them all away. They're either phasing it out or they just announced this. They're changing it. Derek, we were at a game one time and he's going up to the concession stand. I was like, let me get a Coke. And he came down with a 20-ounce, no ice Coke.

I go, what do you want me to do? I can't drink this. That's crazy, dude. No ice. No ice. Yeah, I like ice. I like a lot of ice. Remember the one liter? The one liter? It was half of it and you were like, drink that? That's crazy, dude. McDonald's is phasing out self-serve soda stations. Here's why. Theft. It has to be. Yeah.

Interesting. The chain says the change is intended to create a consistent experience for both McDonald's workers and their customers in all ordering points. That doesn't sound like the truth. That sounds like no more. You still get it in the drive-thru. That's the one thing you can't Uber Eats.

is a drink. It comes, I usually, when I'm at the hotel, I would go to ice and then get a Coke downstairs. You can Uber Eats a drink. Yeah, but it's not out for a Taco Bell at two in the morning. It's not going to be, there's no ice going to be in it by the time you get it. Oh yeah. Good point. Good point. We invented Coke. We get no respect for that. Yeah, it's a big one. That's huge.

Everywhere, every other foreign country, there's Coke and KFC. I mean, Atlanta also invented Chick-fil-A and Waffle House. Yeah, we did. And the chicken sandwich. George has done a lot of good stuff. Thank you. Finally, some respect. T.I. and all the rap achievements. Ludacris. Oh, yeah. T.I. became a comedian.

That's right. He's doing comedy in Atlanta. We don't claim that. Is he? Yeah. He's still doing it? I think so. I haven't heard from him. He started doing clubs. Yeah, didn't he get in trouble, right? Or he had a heckler or he had something? Yeah, something happened earlier on. Then he started. He sells out clubs. What about B.O.B.? Oh, yeah. I mean, he had a good run. Yeah. You know B.O.B.? No. I just saw a list here of rappers from Atlanta. And the Olympics? Yeah.

we should talk about that was that in there yep 96 olympics it went bad did you go oh yeah i went there i saw michael johnson around the 400 like i was in the golden shoes remember that yeah no socks yeah that guy was a i went to the i went to nice really i wonder what that guy's doing now michael johnson yeah there he is bro i remember watching that track with no socks and the golden shoes oh yeah

Man, I mean, that guy, that was awesome to watch. That's the only sport, well, I guess now because of doping, I guess, the purest. Yeah. Yeah, it's just straight up run. Just straight up run. Yeah, it's fun to watch. That's like the first sport ever. Just who can run the fastest. Now I don't even, have you ever heard that thing about wrestling? No, what? Okay, wrestling. Well, we went.

We went to Raw. We went to Monday Night Raw. And it was like, wrestling's fake, right? That's the thing. Okay, so this one guy gets hit and he's bleeding. And I'm like, dude, Aaron, is that real? And he's like, no, that is real.

all right, all right, cool. And then we're sitting there and then the guy gets a neck brace put on him and into a stretcher. And I'm like, dude, what? And then he rips it off, hits the guys and then pins the guy. I go, is that real? And he goes, no. And I go, dude, this is incredible. Cause he's like, and I was listening to Rogan on a podcast and he said, uh, that guy that, uh, Rick Rubin, he goes, wrestling is the best sport because,

Because never would you be watching a Vanderbilt game and a guy out of the stands would put on a jersey, kick a field goal, and then celebrate. You're like, because your imagination only goes in this box. Maybe. That's a bad example. Maybe a bad example. But he said all the other, the sport, you think it's real. Yeah. But it's not. None of it is real. I mean, yeah. None of it is real. We had a woman kicker.

Yeah. Not that. There's nothing wrong with that. No, but it's funny to think like you go out of the box of imagination. Yeah. You view it. You're never going to see a female kick during a game. No, no, we did that. We did see that. Yeah, we did see that. But if you go, you're like, because what makes us the most mad about sports? Cheating.

Oh, cause these are the rules. We have these, this framework of what's supposed to be. And then something like you would never see in a basketball game. Some guy fly down from like, I was at the, um, we,

We were at the WWE or whatever it was, and Hardy, you know Hardy, the country musician? Oh, man. When I came back the day after that, I talked about it a bunch. You did? Oh, yeah. I was so fired up about Hardy coming in the ring. Yeah, because he said, when you watch basketball, the dopamine rush to your brain is why you watch it, right? Because you watch it for entertainment. It's fun to watch. But if your team's down by 30 and there's two minutes left, you're like,

Nothing can happen. But he's like in wrestling, there's no bounds to what it is. And you think the NBA is real, right? But then remember when Kobe, this is way off on a tangent. Remember when Kobe Bryant was going to play with Dwight Howard and Chris Paul for the Lakers? And they said, no. What do you mean? No.

They were like, that's what that was within the rules. But they go, no, this is going to mess up the entertainment product. Remember, they just said, no, you can't do that. I don't either. Then it just became that's what all these NBA teams do. Yeah. But at the time. Yeah, I remember it. They stopped it. Yeah. They put a stop to it. But even going back to the running, what you want to watch sport because it's but there's nothing in sport that is real.

That's the Dusty coming out of that seat. Oh, shoot, dude. I kind of felt it when I sat down. Triple H, I think, said one time, you can spend hundreds of dollars going to a sporting event. It could be a dud. For wrestling, you're guaranteed to get entertainment. Great point. And if the goal of it is... Entertainment. Yes, but watching...

people run now now you have like blood doping and like uh pt or like what i was gonna ptsds not probably that too yeah but just watching people run but now you're like oh you found out you're like oh well it's pointless then because like alabama cts mri cts yeah

Who would know if somebody was like, hey, it would be cool if so-and-so went and played for that team and like, hey, we're going to make this trade, but the NBA is also going to slide you $20 million under the table just to make that competitive. Okay. I think...

Anyway, I'm into it. I'm wrestling. I'm into it. I think Hulk Hogan's from Georgia. Oh, yeah. Obviously. You guys already assumed that. I didn't know he was from there. Oh, yeah. I picture that he's not from nowhere. I thought Florida. He lives in Florida currently. But I think I read he was from Georgia. You want to tell us about Factor? I'd love to tell you about Factor, man. I love it. No, do it like Byron Allen. I usually do a good transition. Because Hulk Hogan is that... Aaron? Aaron?

Yeah. You've been eating a lot of meals lately? Yeah. I've been eating a lot of meals. I've been using Factor. Oh, yeah. With the busy fall season already starting, you might be looking for convenient meals for jam-packed days. Factor is America's number one ready-to-eat food.

I remember they would go to more when I was in college, like a lot of Vanderbilt kids. They'd go to bars on Broadway. I think it's like Dumumbrian, that kind of area. Yeah. Yeah. But they'd go to Broadway. You see them at Sacco a lot. Sacco. We're in a different age bracket than their bars. You know what I mean? I've been in a bar, and I'm like, I'm the oldest person here, and I don't like the feeling of that. So I get out of there. Yeah. Yeah.

It was like, you know, good. Like you go to Knoxville or like, oh, these are all the, oh, there are, I guess, I guess it's a college town. It's not a college town. Yeah. That's probably why. I mean, Nashville is just, it's going to be so many people now. There's so many people that, I mean, how big is the school? Not, not the van, not, it's not a big school, but it's eight or 9,000. I think. Yeah. But it's, it's going to be now. So many people are downtown. It's bachelor parties that you're seeing versus, yeah. You know, Vandy kids, some of the 7,100 kids.

Really? Undergraduate. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Not that many. Atlanta's kind of replaced Hollywood as all the movies and TV shows. That's good. Tax breaks. Yep. And now we're in Tennessee.

How far down there is Tyler Perry? Because he should have been first. Tyler Perry. Yeah, dude. Tyler Perry's our... Yeah, he's on our... He kind of got started, didn't he? He's on our Stone Mountain. Yeah. I was going to say Mount Rushmore, but I tried to make it Georgia. Tyler Perry. I think people know what you mean. Yeah.

I'm a big Tyler Perry fan. Me too. I'm a huge Tyler Perry fan. Yeah. Didn't you go and see Tyler Perry live? Madea live? Yeah, I saw it live in Memphis. It was awesome. Yeah, I got this guy. This guy figured it out. Yeah. Tyler Perry figured it out. What was the show? Songs? It was like a play? It was like a couple live scenes. It was a couple live scenes, and it was on the huge screen behind it, but they were all actors.

thing at an arena. Yeah. It was awesome. And he was in it. Yeah. But it was like, I mean, there's 15, they were like do different like scenes of like the show, but they were live and it was, you know, I'm not trying to say this in a, in a, in a way that would make sense, but like some of the jokes I was out on. Yeah. I just didn't get them. Right.

Because there's a lot of black culture. I go... I was like asking around. I go, what's that one? Yeah. You know? Yeah. Who's that woman up there? Yeah, I go... That's Medea. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. Or a lot of the stuff. Maybe I didn't follow the show, but it was incredible. Packed. Yeah. That guy figured it out. Just the energy was unreal. He bought his own studio and he just makes all of his own movies. Yeah. It's great. I think I was watching Medea Christmas. Mm-hmm. And...

Larry the Cable guy's in it. Have you ever seen it? No. No, John. And he was like, yeah, they just called me up and we went down there for like two days and he's like, I riffed all of my lines. I was like, what? I watched one of them too and I...

Real simple. It's nice to watch. It's not super complicated and all this. That's why so many people go watch it because it's just a fun time. This little fool thinks she's getting a pony.

I want to go watch this movie tonight. We can get into some sports. Yeah. Are you old enough to remember Sid Breen? Oh, yeah. 1991. I was in my kitchen. We didn't have a TV at the time because we weren't allowed because television, the devil was going to get into our house through the TV. So we had a radio. And we had all... I would have been...

seven years old and we all gathered around the kitchen and that's a that's an iconic call by the way the radio call versus the TV call oh here comes Sid Bream he's gotta run to the plate yeah everybody knows that one and we were listening on the radio and I never knew what think about this I never knew what Sid Bream looked like hmm

Wow. Yeah. You've just been listening. I've been listening to the Braves games. Do you still, do you have any idea now? Well, yeah. Yeah. I think he's coming to some shows. Oh, really? No, he might have. I don't know where he's at. Yeah. But yeah, we was like, and I saw, I think many, many years later, I saw the

I saw the play. Uh-huh. Like, I saw the TV, like, review, and I was like, that is different than what I had in my mind of what was happening. I think that's not a bad thing. Gosh, that ages you so much. It's not a bad thing to...

Or like, they have moments like that that you visualize. You have to visualize it instead of just it being shown. And then you see it. It's like reading a book and not watching the movie. Yeah. Or like, did you guys, you guys probably don't know what this is, Adventures in Odyssey. You know what that is? I've heard of it. It's like a kids, but it's a radio show. And it was about this town and all these characters. And everybody's...

version of it is wildly different because you make up what the local store is like. You made it all up in your head. That's interesting. And that's better than any movie that would ever exist. And you saw the movie like 10 years later, you go, oh, bummer. But if you're really dumb, then it's not good in your head. You know what I mean? Dang, I didn't think about that. You want someone smart to be able to read. Do you know that you're really dumb? Do you know that you're...

It's a good point. John just learned it right now. This is messing me up. The tree falls in the woods. If you're dumb, do you know you're dumb? There's a comic that I know like that, that he just puts out clips and I go, he just like thinks he's great. I know a bunch of those. I go, maybe he wins. Maybe he wins. And when we get off stage, I was terrible. No, right. I go, if that, maybe that guy wins. I don't think they do.

He's just out there living the dream, just doing bombing in his own mind. Yeah. But what John is saying, what is the difference? Yeah. If he does not even aware of reality. Yeah. Maybe he does win. That's what I'm saying. I think he does win. I know this guy, I follow this guy on Tik TOK just for this. He's a musician and he like performs at like local, like gazebos and parks. And he thinks he is Justin Timberlake. Right. And he's like, I am. And it's awesome. Yeah.

It's like a blind man with an ugly wife. Isn't that an expression? I don't know. I would think the expression would be a blind man with a pretty wife. And there's something like that's what I would think you would do that. You're like, well, that's like a blind man with a pretty wife. It's a waste of time. He doesn't know. That's what I think the impression would be. You're saying the blind guy thinks his wife's hot. Yeah. So he doesn't know he better. So in his mind. So why doesn't it? Why does it?

Just let him think about it. It doesn't matter what's objectively true about it. It's only a matter of how he perceives it. That's deep. Think about it. You know what I mean? Yeah. And we should all be blind. We should all be blind. Racism. The crossroads of... Well, we had a lot of unbelievable moments, but then the Falcons-Patriots Super Bowl is... Oh, okay. That's part of our checkered past. 28-3. Yeah.

I still don't... Why do they say checkered past? Because... Some good and some bad? Yeah. I think... I haven't looked this up. I think like a checkerboard. Yeah. Where it's like alternating good and bad. Good and bad. Yeah. Spotted past. But his checkered flag is also victory. Yeah. That's a great point. Think about it. Checkered end zone. Checkered past. Yeah. Yeah. Like it just...

Checkers. It's an idiom to use to describe someone with a questionable or controversial history. The phrase originated in the U.S. I think it's just like a word. It's kind of checkered. Got to the bottom of that. It's just a word. Got it. You got a pretty wife, you're a blonde man. I don't think still, I don't think those jokes are funny. That's like a pretty woman with an ugly blonde man. Yeah. Yeah.

What's the point? You know what everybody says. Who says that? Nobody. Everybody says that. That would be just a drop-dead gorgeous woman. Yeah.

Ugly blind man. You're like, she knows what she's doing. It's probably because we've been going too long. We can't talk this long. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Is there anything else about Georgia sports you wanted to say, Darren? Oh, we're sitting at the top. I mean, the Falcons are undefeated with the help of our guy. Yeah. Yeah. Nate Landman. Nate Landman. Oh, yeah. He's crushing it. He's the glue. The glue. And we won the – well, the Braves clinched first place, so. Braves are unreal this year. Might be the best Braves team ever. And the Braves have an advantage because of TBS.

Because everyone around the South was watching the Braves when I was coming up. Yeah, I was a Braves fan. America's team. Yeah. I don't think they said that. Yeah, I don't think they said that. Cowboys. Cowboys. I thought they called the Braves America's team. No, I don't think so. Oh, I've never heard. I thought you were joking. No, I was serious. I thought, I know the Cowboys is the football, but I thought baseball. I never heard the Braves called it. I mean, I'd love it if that were true. Dale Murphy. I thought back in the day at TBS, that's what they. I threw out the first pitch, I think, well.

last year. Yeah. I watched the video when everybody goes like that. That's like the, that's my biggest credit. Yeah. That's probably the coolest thing I've ever done. Mine is too, but it's the Nashville. That's the counts dude. That's the Chattanooga look. Do you know Matt Olson? Uh,

No, I don't know. We just got him this last year. But isn't he from your hometown? Lilburn? Yeah. He's Matt Olsen. Yeah. I know that Walker Zimmerman who played the world cup. Yeah. He's from the same place that we played soccer growing up. Yeah. This was like, y'all should talk about this after the show.

What are you talking about? You know Matt Olsen? Yeah, he's a good guy. I did make a mistake. Do you ever do this? I was watching Dylan Lee as a relief pitcher for the Braves, and I thought he had a rough outing during the World Series, and I DM'd him. And I go, hey, dude, keep your head up. And then I go...

Why did I do that? And he responded back. You ever do that and you're like, I shouldn't have done that. Yeah, I can see it. You're emotional about it. You want to just think he would be emotional. Then you got to go like, I don't know him. I don't know. It's crazy. Yeah, I get it. Because your heart's in the really, really right place. It is. That's a mistake. We've all made it. Yeah, we've all made it. I always try to give my now...

Because I could see one of you want to do it. That's hilarious, actually. You got to give yourself a beat and just go like, do I think about what could come? What are we doing? Do I want to talk to this guy? Does this guy want to hear from me? What if he thinks he had a great game? Like you said earlier. And he lives in that reality. He's got an ugly wife. Tell him that. I almost DM'd Aaron Rodgers. To say, keep your head up. Double down. Yeah, but then I didn't.

Cause I've done it. I did it too. Because people did that with you. Yeah. Good and bad. But yeah, people were saying we love it. It's like to, but you're like, I shouldn't say that. But you've had, you've had that work. Didn't your friendship with Scott Stapp start that way? Yeah. Just a lot of, just a random. Yeah. There you go. But then you take a stab. Yeah. Yeah.

And if they don't respond to this. What did you tell him? Like, sorry, you're not touring anymore? Scott Stapp? Yeah. Did he get canceled or something? No, I saw him at the Preds game. Yeah. Like three years ago. And it's funny because I go, that guy's sober. I guarantee you that guy's sober. And he just looked sober from how he used to look. And I went to DM him and he had DM'd me like a year ago. Oh, okay.

It was on one of my bits, and I was like, dude, what's up? We're at the game. Yeah. Yeah. That rules. But I did it to Harrison Butker, who is the kicker for the Chiefs, and he went to Georgia Tech. So I was like, dude, tough miss. Go Jackets. And then I was like... You've got like a trend going. You're doing it too much. But I guess, yeah, I do. I think so. But it's embarrassing when they don't respond. But you don't... Do you ever... Would you ever...

come good news to them? You ever say, congrats? I feel like I relate to them when they're struggling. They want to hear from people when they're down. Aaron Rogers said, thanks for all the DMs and everybody that supported me. And I was like, dang, I'm not on that.

Well, you did DM him. No, I didn't. Not until after that. I never thought about it. Yeah, I thought about it. Oh, when he got hurt. Yeah. Yeah, I could see that. You could reach out. You just want to be like, hey, I just want to. Yeah, because your heart hurt and said he got hurt. But you know what? Yeah, when somebody has a good or like, dude, I got thousands of texts saying, and I'm like, I would want to be a part of that.

It's very nice. I don't need a response from it, but I would want to be like... I think Aaron Rodgers getting hurt makes sense. Yeah. Kicking the field goal, like, I mean, that guy very well to be buried in a hole. And you go, hey, dude. Yeah. You know, tough miss. Yeah. Or something.

He goes, oh. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's right. Hold on. I got it. Tough miss. Hey, no. Oh, he must have won. I think he won the Super Bowl. Okay. Won the Super Bowl. And he went, I said,

Did he go jacket, jacket, jacket, jacket, jacket? I don't know. Is that y'all's thing or something? Yeah. But you do relate. Yeah, you go, I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I shouldn't. But was he grateful that you? Yeah, no, it's his assistant. Oh, okay.

Or whoever's running his account. I think the kicker's running his own account. If I had to guess. But this is why you shouldn't have it. It's like The Rock. I don't know if you run this. I run it. There's 8,000 followers. Is this really you? Yeah.

I feel like we've just been going too long. You would never say like, yeah, I mean, you get emotional about a certain thing. That's why we shouldn't have the internet. You shouldn't be able to message anyone. Yeah. You should not. No one should be able to message anyone. Yeah. But anyone can message anyone is crazy. It's crazy. It's that direct. It is crazy. That you can just say what, and you might see it. Yeah. Tough miss. Go Jack. Yeah.

That's great. Let me see what I said to Dylan Lee because it was nice. I think. I think we got all we want out of it. Is that it? Yeah, that's a good one. So, uh,

That's it. Tour-wise, I'm starting back up. About to be on a decent run for the rest of the year. So I'm excited. Willing. Starting off in Willing, West Virginia. Willing, West Virginia. Wheeling. Wheeling.

What'd you say? Sorry. Dylan Lee. Yeah. Plays for the Braves. October 30th. This must have been the World Series. Yeah. No shame in that start, my man. Proud of you, bro. You ever met him before?

No shame in that story. Hold on. My man. I think it's worse. Oh, no. That was October 30th, 2021. He responds, August 16th, 2022. Just saw this message. Thank you. From a game a year ago. He goes, where were we?

doing october 30th you gotta remember it he goes man that's my aunt's birthday uh oh world series this lunatic he goes so shame no shame that start love you brother i don't even know this guy

He's got to reply to it. I'm crying. Because of the blue check mark, he has to go. I guess I got to respond back to the game. Don't ever forget where you came from. Love you, brother. Go Jackets. I remember that specifically because it was a bullpen start. We only have three starters. So we had a bullpen game. And they were like, I guess we're starting now.

Dylan Lee. No shame in that. Who's not. Yeah. Who shouldn't be out there. No shame in that, brother. No shame in that, brother. Love you, Prada. You're making me proud. You're making us proud. Go Jackets! Couldn't be prouder. Now he's going to respond to you like you said some. Special is great. Love you, brother.

Go Jack! He's got to be this emotional. What did I? Yeah. Dang, I would love to say something to him. Because maybe back in the day, you had to write. Can you imagine they go now, is he still pitching? Yeah. He's at the Braves and they go, hey, John Crist is here. And he goes, oh.

He said he wants to say hi. He goes right around the corner. He wants to say hi. He wants to say hi. He said y'all know each other. He said y'all go back. And then you got the DM pulled up so he remembers.

Long time no talk. Go Jackets! No shame in that start. No shame in that start. Oh, that's great. I know, I

I know. As long as I've laughed on here a long time. You've never done that with a golfer? No, yeah. I don't remember. It's funny because we've all done it. We've all done it. It's so wonderful. But yes, you do some things and then you go, why did I do that? Because the older you get to, the more embarrassing it gets where you go, I'm old. I thought for a second.

Some child's tough start. Toughness. I think not to bring it all the way around, but when I got canceled, thousands and thousands of private... I was getting crushed publicly. And now, is somebody like...

Their last DM was from that day. Yeah. And that means the world. Right, right. They go, hey, I just want to let you know that we're thinking about you and we're praying for you and we care for you. And then like three years later, they respond to him like, dude, yeah. Go Jackets. Go Jackets. Go Jackets.

He's trying to go jackets. Respond to all those go jackets. Because I think he didn't know I have an association with Georgia Tech, so that DM doesn't really make any sense. He's like, well, that's where I went to college. What did they do today? That rules. I love it. Go jackets.
