Hello, folks, and hey, Bear. As always, I'm Brian Bates here with Dusty Slay. All right. And Aaron Weber. Thanks for the intro, Brian. I was waiting on you to throw me in there. You're already laughing at me. No, I was laughing at just, I don't know what I was laughing at. I'm just happy to be here with the two of you. Brian's working on his pacing. Yeah. It's good to see you guys, man. It's all about timing. Aaron Weber. Nate is not here. I talked to Nate this morning. Yeah. Nate is, he's in couples counseling. Yeah.

Oh, no. The two-hour podcast really took it out on his family. He did say, you know, we need to cut back, you know, because our schedules are so tight. Right. And then the demand from people. He didn't run it by Laura when we went back to two hours. Yeah. It was a huge fight. We should have recorded that fight. Yeah. Patreon episode. No, he is spending time with his family. He had shows in Florida this weekend, as did I. It was pouring down rain all weekend. Yeah.

down there. Well, it wasn't the part I was in and the part he was in. Okay. And I don't even know, did the Daytona 500 happen? I think so. Didn't it? Despite the fact that I'm wearing a homemade Dale Earnhardt hat, I have not kept up with racing in some time. I think it's today that they were recording this. So did they move it to Monday? Because it's usually Sunday. Yeah, it's a Sunday race.

Anyway, there was talk when I was down there this weekend that the Daytona 500 may even be canceled because they had so much rain. Say all that to say. A lot of cloud seeding going on out here. Nate stayed an extra day because he has his family down there and they're all going to Disney World. So he's doing some family time and it rained them out. So now they're going today. All right. So good for him.

All right. Meanwhile, my wife's at home with the kids again. She's not happy about it. Well, you've been out of the house all day. I know. Yes. We just got through doing a thing. We did another Nashville hot episode where me and Aaron ate a lot of hot chicken. Now me and Brian have gone and ate a lot of hot chicken. Now, be honest. Who handled the hot chicken better? Me or Brian?

Well, if you had to guess, what would you say? A professional eater or an amateur. I think I definitely ate more than Brian did. I think you've still handled it the best than all three of us. Now, the one we did today, I don't want to give it away, but the one we did today was a lot easier than the one that me and you did. Yeah, that's amazing to me. Yeah.

And now maybe I'm just a little more immune. My tolerance is a little higher now. But I ate, you know, I would not have ordered the hottest hot as a meal, but I ate it just fine. Okay. Yeah. All right.

I'm excited to see that. My stomach hurts right now. Yours was so funny that I was like, dang, I'm just over here struggling and not seeing anything funny at all. You guys were great in that first episode. Thanks, man. That was an editing trick on their part. I don't remember walking away going,

The experience was great, but I didn't walk away going, man, I was funny the whole time. But they did a good job editing it. We started at mild and then medium and then hot. And then there's two other levels. I think Brian was tapping out at medium. That's true. To his credit, though, he went the whole way. Okay, you finished it out. You're like, I'm here. I'm going to do it right.

Not the second part, the first. I did it. I didn't do it right, but I struggled. I mean, I was a mess there at the end. Well, when our episode came out, Dusty, with Party Foul, they went bankrupt that week. So I hope wherever you film this next one, that won't happen to them.

In a way, I think it would be really fun if it did, just so nobody else would want us to do it there. Yeah.

They would go, nah, this shows it. It's not even our fault because you're already going bankrupt before it airs. Right, right. But we're like the, what is it, the Madden curse? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're the nail in the coffin. Yeah. Hot chicken just ends in Nashville. If you own a restaurant and you're trying to get out, let us come in and seal the deal for you. Yes.

I'm hurting right now. My stomach hurts, but I feel pretty good. Okay. You both sound good. You look good. Thank you. It's going to be a good episode. Yeah. You know, at times I couldn't tell if Brian was faking how much it was affecting him because it was a little over the top at times where I thought, well, you're really... Were you tearing up? I remember one time I said, I just need to spit. Do you think I would just be saying that in my normal conversation? Yeah.

I mean, that's how bad I was. I was like, I just got to spit to get this heat out of my mouth. And then he was like, well, just spit in your Dr. Pepper there. The poltergeist would have been, that was the big one at Partyfowl. That would have been, that was too much for me. That was like an insane amount of heat. Yeah. And I wonder if they were showing off a bit because they knew it was on camera.

Like if I go to a Thai restaurant and they go, this is our hot, because I like a little spice. They go, our hotness is one to 10. I'll go maybe a seven or eight because I like a little spice, but I feel like if you say 10,

They're going to be like, oh, okay. Oh, they're going to look out the window and see who it is. Oh, you think you can handle the 10, huh? We'll see. How about we turn it up to a 15? Like, what do you get when you normally eat hot chicken? Mediums as high as I'll go. And that'll change my day. Yeah. Because it's hot. Like, we laughed at you for tapping out. We're not tapping out, but struggling at medium. But mediums legit hot, dude.

Even mild. You said you noticed even with mild. Yeah, we came in there. We didn't start with a regular. We started with the mild. And right away, I'm like, oh, I can feel this. Oh, yeah, dude. But it's like- It's in there. It's like this place we went, they're a little longer in the game. And I feel like they have a more balanced approach. A little more established. Yeah. Whereas where Partyfowl was like, good, good, good, good, every pepper in the garden. Yeah.

all of a sudden kitchen sink yeah you're pulling out peppers that nobody's ever heard of a reaper pepper it's like come on carolina reaper yeah it's like nobody's even heard of that yeah i think you guys were doing too well and then they're like we gotta do something yeah so they just threw it all in there at the end well dude that's good that's gonna be great man i'm excited to see that thank you thank you um where were you this weekend

Oh, I was in Tulsa, Oklahoma at Bricktown. All right. And it was great. And I've been to Tulsa in a long time. Last time I was there was at, well, the last club I did was a Looney Bin there in Tulsa. And I always liked the Looney Bins, but I never headlined the Looney Bin in Tulsa. And that's my first headlining weekend in Tulsa.

And it was hot, hot shows. I mean, my feature, Will O'Donnell was crushing. I was like, I told him, I was like, this is the best shows I've ever seen you have. But the audience was just hot. They were there for it. They were into it. We had Adam Bush hosting. He's very good. So it was just front to back a good show.

Everybody was just. Are you noticing an energy difference since the Netflix special? Yeah, for sure. Okay. That's awesome. For sure. In a way that I'm like, I hope this is as good as what they're expecting it to be. Whereas before I'm like, oh, half this audience doesn't even know who I am. Yeah.

Uh, so yeah, so it is a bit different and it's like, you know, people are real, like I did radio and it's like, now that I have a Netflix, people have always been nice to me, but now that I have a Netflix, people are like, so nice to me. They're like criticizing their own cities. They're like, what are you doing in Tulsa? And I'm like, I don't know. I mean, they booked me. I like Tulsa. It's also a major American city. Yeah. You know, Tulsa is great. It was very cold. So I didn't do anything, which I regret in a way, but.

Two great comedy clubs there. Yeah. Yeah. So it's a fun. You were just there at the Looney bin. Yeah. I was at the Looney bin last month. Oh yeah. It was great too. They're like within a mile of each other. Very close. I was originally supposed to be at the Looney bin this past weekend. Really? Like, well, I don't know if Aaron and Dusty and at the same time is going to be good for

Yeah. They framed it as it's not going to be good for either of them, but it would have been bad for me. So I'm glad that they switched that. Yeah. It would have been bad for both of us. I mean, that's nice of you to say. There's some Aaron fans out there that are like that, you know, people that go dump dusty, they would have been. Yeah.

Yeah, that's for sure. The Dusty crew would have been... The moon landing crew would be there. A bunch of NASA scientists at my show. Yeah, exactly. They're all wearing their NASA shirts. Pocket protectors, just nerds. Yeah. Reddit in the house. Yeah.

Well, I was in Palatka, Florida. What is it? Palatka. It sounds a little bit like Opelika. Oh, Pulaski is what I thought of. Yeah, yeah. And at Church of the Heights. And it was great. A lot of folks came out.

Everyone was super nice. They gave us all custom-made Nateland shirts. And I left them and my paycheck in the rental car. Oh, no. Last night, I'm like, I could get those shirts to take to the guys. And I'm like,

where are those shirts at? I started digging through my luggage and all that. And then I'm like, wait a second. My check was in there too. And I retraced my steps, left it in the rental car when I dropped it off. You have to call the rental car company. How'd you sort that out? Yep. I called at first I called my hotel cause I thought I left it there. And then when they didn't have it, I remember what I did. So then I called the rental car company and filed a claim on lost and found. They found it. Uh,

This morning they emailed, said they found it. Okay. And I've already done a thing to have it shipped back to me. Yeah. It sounds like a lot of red tape. You think you just call a guy and he'll run over there and get it for you. Yeah. You got to file a claim and fill out paperwork. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, uh,

It'll be here in five to seven days. There you go. I love that. I left my laptop in my hotel in Milwaukee two weeks ago. They emailed it to me. I mean, not email. They mailed it to me. That'd be pretty impressive. Physically mailed it. I couldn't get the email because I didn't have my laptop. It's a catch-22. Yeah.

You got to go there to check your email to get it. Yeah. It's a big attachment. Set your laptop. Send that through Dropbox. Yeah, I was going to tell you all. So you mentioned radio just now. I did. I was in Dayton last weekend and I did a radio interview to promote the show. And you guys know when you call in radio station, typically.

They go, all right, we're going live in three, two, one. Or they go, we're going to start recording now. I call into this radio station. It's the local country station. And they were so nice. But I did not know that as soon as the call started, we were going on this interview. So the entire interview, I thought we were making small talk. Before the interview started, I gave the worst 15 minutes of radio anybody's ever heard.

I answer the phone. She goes, so you're going to be in Dayton this weekend. I go, yeah, I just had the...

Yeah, we just had a family funeral that I just came back from. And I was like, oh, yeah, it's been tough. Logistically, it's been real tough. But yeah, man, I'm excited being Dayton for sure. And she goes, oh, my God, I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm good. I think I got some kind of science infection or something. I was like, after this call, I'm going to go to urgent care and hopefully they'll give me a steroid shot. And she's kind of like she's trying to be an interviewer, right? And she goes,

So what can we expect from the shows this weekend? And I go, hopefully it's better than last year. Because I was like, I'm just talking candidly to her. I go, last year, the shows were fun. But it was supposed to be three shows. And then they had to make it two. So I don't know. If it stays at three shows, I'll be pretty pumped.

and then she goes and that was comedian aaron weber and i was like oh my gosh dude and then the call and then the call ends like it hangs up and i was like if anybody heard that oh no they were like what type of comedy does this guy do he just complains about his life it was awful dude

I mean, some truckers out there listening and being like, wow, that guy stinks. You got to put that on them, though. I mean, it's like, come on, let me know I'm live. Well, I think it was a miscommunication of mine. I mean, I should have.

That's a lesson in that. It's like, don't, don't save anything. Like kind of come out of the gates and just think the mic is hot. Yeah. Because that was just awful radio. I was surprised anybody showed up at that show. Well, you know that like when you're doing those and you, you work with this guy, Alan Romelfinger too. And when they, they, he will line up hours of radio in a row. A whole day of radio. I did. I've done four hours where I call a new radio station every 15 minutes. And it's like, yeah,

Yeah, you get tired. And so it's like when they answer the phone and want a small talk with you before you do the interview, it's kind of like, all right, you know, I've been talking all day. Like, let's just do the interview.

And so, yeah. So the small talk of that is the worst rating. Like if I'm first two or three calls, my small talk is great. I'm funny in the small talk. But I call, you know, 25. I'm like you. I'm like, yeah, I just had a funeral. Yeah.

Well, this was a one-off. For my soul. This is 7.30 in the morning. I wake up and get a cup of coffee, and I'm like, let's do this, dude. Just gave the worst interview. That's so funny. I love that. All right. That's comedian. That was comedian Aaron Webber, everybody. Come see him. I was like, oh, God. Right.

Did you, did Alan set that up? Yeah, that was with Alan. We haven't talked about it. Okay. See me. I would text Alan right away. Go, Hey, I'm sorry, man. I had no idea I was live. I would have texted him immediately.

I had, I was going to tell y'all, do y'all, I, I've been getting on the road. I've been getting Airbnbs whenever I can. If I, if I have a friend with me, do y'all ever do that? Or you just like doing a hotel? You prefer a hotel? I prefer a hotel. Well, with the theater gigs that I've been doing, like they don't even, here we go. Here we go. Nate 2.0 over here.

Well, they don't include a hotel, right? When the club books you, they book you a hotel. Or they have a condo or something. Yeah. So if I'm taking a comic to the theater, it's like I'm booking my hotel and their hotel. So if I can do an Airbnb. Yeah, it's nice. I'm in. Yeah. I like it because usually you save money if you're factored in buying another comics hotel room. And I like having just a living room where you can watch TV together and just hang out and just have like a fun weekend. Right. So.

I've been trying to get Airbnbs everywhere I can. I was in Toledo this weekend. Shout out to Toledo Funny Bones. Sold out two shows there. Let me see your eyes. That's pretty great. You are correct. You got my baseball card right there. Yeah. How about that? If you want to know his stats. Tops is trying to shut me down on that. Really? Yeah. Well, a friend of mine who's in the card.

industry reposted it and they were asked to take it down by tops. Top should be happy. You're pushing their brand. I know. Well, it's not an officially licensed tops product, but I wanted it to look like a real baseball card. Anyway, mint condition, Aaron Weber, rookie card, autographed. That's the real deal. So anyway, I got a house in Toledo this weekend, Airbnb and I show up and it's a duplex, you know, it's like two, uh,

And I walk in, I put the coat in and immediately I'm like, oh, this place kind of, this place kind of stinks. It's not awful, but you're like, there was like a construction ladder just in the living room. The refrigerator doesn't work. Somebody put ice in the freezer and it had melted. And then like little things you can nitpick, like there's a Keurig machine, but no coffee stuff. So I'm just, I write it off in my head as like, well, it's just kind of a, you know, a dud of an Airbnb, but it was fine. Right.

Anyway, I'm on the plane yesterday flying out of Toledo, and the guy who runs the Airbnb sends me a message and is like, hey, you stayed at the wrong side of the duplex. So this was like he's trying to set this other side of it up to become an Airbnb one day.

I stayed at like an under construction house all weekend. And I want to be like, well, maybe don't make the code the same for both sides of the house. You've been blowing it out here. I know. You've been blowing it. It's just the comedy of errors out here, man. I was like, well, that does explain the construction ladder just sitting in the living room. I didn't even think to ask that guy. That guy's like, I could have rented that other side out if I had known you to just stay. Yeah.

To his credit, he felt bad. He was like, I'm sorry. I know it wasn't as nice as the others. I can't imagine how nice the other side was. They probably had a ping pong table and, you know.

Coffee. But no money, no refund. Oh, no, no, no, no. That was the end of the conversation. He's like, these Southerners, man, they'll stay in anything. We can edit this out. You got a little food right there on your shirt. Oh, my gosh. No, please leave that in. All right. What is that? I don't know. You've not even had anything to eat since I've been here. I haven't had anything to eat today. I don't know what this is. Oh, my God. Well, keep it then.

Whoa, that is frightening. Okay. Yeah, leave that in. All right. Wow. I can't believe that, though. I mean, I can believe the radio thing. Yeah. But I mean, I feel like I would have Airbnb. I would have messaged that guy and been like, there's a lot of stuff going on in here. I did message him and go just a heads up because I didn't want to get blamed for it. I go, the fridge is not working.

He's like, well, I can come take a look at it now. But if you're not using it, I'll just take a look after you leave. And I go, we're not really using it. It was cold enough. We just put stuff outside in the snow, you know, living, you know, living like that. Zach Townsend. Did you tell Zach?

I did tell him. He's like, I can't believe. He's like, that makes so much sense now that you said that. But anyway, fun weekend in Toledo. Then I was in Oklahoma City at the other Bricktown, just up the street from Dusty. One show last night. A lot of nightland people out there, man. It was awesome. Awesome. So thanks, everyone, for coming. Oklahoma's crushing it. It's a hot place. Oklahoma's great, dude. Dude, it's like...

It's all the things that people like about Texas, but it's navigable. People are so nice there. I really like Oklahoma. I really like it. I'm not even joking. I'll say this. On your Rated Red episode, the big thing was you rubbed your eyes by mistake. Right. I did not wash my hands after. We just got here. I still not wash my hands. I just rubbed my eyes and...

Now I'm feeling it there too. I'm not just doing it because Aaron did it. I'm like, what is going on? We're all a little embarrassing today. I got food from who knows what on my shirt.

If you need to take a break, we can. No, I think I'm okay. I just can't see anything. Are you serious? No, I'm not. Okay. All right. I'm worried about you, man. I appreciate that. You should be. You should be. Well, those were hot weekends. Yeah, yeah. We're out here, man. Come see one of us. And Brian may get paid soon for his if that money comes in from the...

Good thing they didn't pay you in cash. I know. I never see it again. I mean, I could have just voided the check, but they made these shirts for us. That's right. They were very kind. I didn't want to say, sorry. Yeah. Because I told them I'd wear it on the podcast, which I will. Greg Warren, I don't know if he ever told that story on this podcast, but he told me a story about working with Ron White at a loony bin type place where you all stayed in one condo together. Right. And at the end of the weekend, the room was so trashed.

Because Ron was the headliner and it was so trashed. And like, I don't know if Greg's saying he was just trying to clean up a little bit because he wanted to get invited back. And he found Ron's check for the weekend just crumpled up on the counter.

It happens. Wild times. Y'all want to get in these comments? Let's do it. Let's do it. Who wants to read them? I think you should, Brian. I like you running things. You could do them or we could take turns too like we've done. Well, let's not overcomplicate things. You'll meet it though. The guy who can't see. Okay. I was just kidding. We can do whatever. Well, hey, you know, Aaron is really on it these days and, you know, he's really nailing the radio. He's been staying at the right places. Yeah.

Yeah. Making the right call. So clean him up shirt. Yeah. Um, so Aaron, I guess you can read them.

Kevin Green. By the way, these comments come from Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Apple podcast reviews and Brian's home address, which we will post in the description of this episode. You got to show up, though. Or if you see. Yeah. If you see Brian out with his family trying to enjoy a meal, please approach and give him your questions. Or you can email us at Nate land at Nate bar. Got see that.

Gatsy, but it's Gatsy. You can bring the comment to me at a show along with a gift.

and I'll make sure it gets to Brian. Aaron's been killing these clips lately we've been posting on social media. If you noticed differences, because Aaron's been doing them, and he sent me one this past week on Valentine's Day, and I was out to lunch with my wife. I know you don't honor Valentine's, but I was out to lunch with my wife for Valentine's, and you sent me the clip to look at. And so I just watched it. I didn't listen to it. I just watched it, and I'm like,

It's funny, but I don't know. And then I didn't realize there's sound to it. It makes all the difference in the world. Yeah. So I made this clip of Nate kind of just basically writing a love letter to stand up comedy. And I'll be honest, I made that in the morning. I was pretty proud of how it came out. Yeah. You know, I was just running by Brian real quick. Yeah.

I mean, it's interesting, I guess. That's what I said. Jeez, dude. That's exactly what I said. I was like, man, Brian, I spent a little time on that, dude. But then if you watch it with the audio, there's a little something to it. Yeah, he put symphony music to it. And then when you finally say the punchline, I think you're trying to say symphony, it

It makes it funny. But I wasn't getting the full context. We're doing fun stuff. Follow us on social media. I didn't watch that clip, but now I will go watch it. You were tagged in it. I appreciate you taking an interest. I'm on the podcast, so when I see the clip, I'm like, well, I saw this. I saw this live. Now that you know you're the punchline of it, will you check it out? Yeah. I want to know if I'm involved. No, you're involved. I mean...

But if it's just a clip of Nate talking, you're like, I'm not watching. I'm just getting real passionate about comedy. Yeah. I'm like, yeah, yeah, I like comedy. All right. You know, first comment comes from Kevin Green. Dusty is supposed to be the conspiracy theorist, but I have bad news for Aaron. Cow tipping is not a real thing. Your friend was lying to you.

Even if you could sneak up on a cow, which you almost definitely couldn't, it would take at least three or four people to push one over. Well, I'm pretty strong.

I don't know about Kevin, but I feel like I could. No, I saw this comment earlier. I did text my friend who told me that he had gone cow tipping, and I found out that cow tipping was a euphemism for something he was doing, which we shouldn't talk about on the podcast. Oh, I think I'm picking up what you're putting out. Yeah, let's just say he would go out to a pasture and just kind of have fun out there and then, you know.

That's what he used to do. In a pasture? Maybe I'm not sure. I have no idea. Now I'm lost. Well, he would partake in illegal activities. Okay. Yeah. And that was what he would call cow tipping. Okay. Yeah. But it was a bit of a bummer because I thought people really did this. All this time you thought your friend was just a good old wholesome. Just abusing animals. Yeah. Right. Yeah.

You find out he's doing drugs. Yeah, that's what it was. So it's a bit of a bummer. But thank you, Kevin. I did not know that. But that blew my mind because cow tipping is referenced all the time.

I didn't think it was real, but then when you said your friend did, I was like, well, maybe it is real. What did you think it was? I thought it was just something that people joke about, like in the Chris Farley movie where he takes Rob Lowe. Tommy Boy. Tommy Boy. But you never actually see it happen. I've never seen a video of a cow being. I thought it was a trick to just get people to try to do it just as a prank.

Oh, wow. But you said, and you're right. I just heard you say it and I just went along with it. Talking about like, like happy Gilmore meet me on the ninth green at 9 PM. That kind of thing. Okay. That'd be a real mean thing to do. Yeah. That gets trampled by a gal up there.

Braves fan 27. I like that. Anytime someone says something I don't agree with now, I find myself doing the dusty shoulder shrug while saying, well, I don't even know the shoulder shrug. I guess I'm doing that involuntary. But that's a good way to go because, listen, the more you start to realize what's going on out here, the more you'll disagree with because nothing is the truth. There's no truth out here.

Everything's a lie. Everything that you see all the time is a lie.

Nobody knows what they're talking about. And I mean, nobody knows. We all are just reading things. And we're like, well, this is true according to the person that wrote it. Right. And we don't know history, science. We don't know. Wow. They're now even saying that the whole six foot thing that we were supposed to be doing was not based in science. The whole stay six feet away from each other. They're now admitting that there was no science in that.

And it's like, that was the whole thing. And their defense was just, well, yeah, stay away from each other. Don't get close. Don't spend time with each other. But I brace fan 27. It is cathartic in a way, you know, it acknowledges your disagreement without starting an argument. And it's,

Let's just move on and agree to disagree. Because there's no point in arguing. There really is no point. Never. There's no point of dialogue between people that disagree. That's the takeaway from this. You can't have dialogue. Don't talk to people. If you're friends, sometimes you can have dialogue. But I've had lots of friends lose it on me over stuff, you know.

And I'm like, okay. I've been that guy. Yeah. I don't know if you guys have lost it on me. No, I've never lost it. Well, you're always like, the Bible's fake. You can't trust it. I'm like. The Bible's the only truth. It's the only truth. Okay. And only some of those versions.

Death and taxes. Amanda Fraunfelter. Great name. Fraunfelter. That is a good name. We have noticed ever since he joined the podcast that Dusty adds an unnecessary T to about 30% of his words. He repeats every word out loud that we hear with an extra T. It's a funny little game to play every time we listen. Once you hear it, you can't unhear it.

Well, I have no idea. I don't know that I'm doing that. I-dee-it. I have no idea. I don't think I said I-dee-it. That's crazy. Did you hear that? That is crazy. Oh, please. Dusty T. That's wild, dude. Oh, my God. I don't know if I can listen to you anymore. Someone who said you say it after the word G-O-O-D. Good? Well, now you're thinking about it too much. I said good time.

Oh, that's maybe that's what it is. You start time just instinctually. You start to you start to say time after the word good. I don't know. Well, I don't know. I remember. Remember when we said Amanda Fronfelter had a good name. I take it back. I didn't even say it, but I take it back. Yeah. Appreciate the comment. MC Prime. MC Prime. Maybe a rapper. It's got to be. Or a host.

I can number a steak or an MC squared. Maybe just a square. Maybe some type of cut of meat. I was thinking about a prime. I wouldn't even think about prime. Yeah. MC prime rib could be Dion Sanders. I cannot understand people's that is to say Aaron's obsession with the Shawshank Redemption. It's a decent movie and I'm not going to hate on people who love it. I'm just saying Nate doesn't need to feel like he's missing out on anything.

Wow. I'm going to disagree. Yeah. Obsession might be a strong word. I do like the movie. I don't have a statue of Stephen King in my house. You have a poster of I don't write letters to Frank Darabont thanking him for writing the movie. I don't do anything. You have a poster of Raquel Welch. I do have a poster at my house, but I don't have a statue. You know, the guy that wrote it. Well, Stephen King gave him the rights for one dollar.

Which I always thought was a cool story. I didn't know that, but I knew Stephen King wrote it. No, I mean, whoever the other guy you named. Frank Darabont? Whatever that guy did. Yeah, he's kind of a big director. Is he? There's a Green Mile, too. Okay. There's also a Stephen King adaptation. Okay. Green Mile's great. Yeah, he's also an entourage as himself. So, big Frank Darabont fan. But I don't know if I'm obsessed. I have read the screenplay a bunch, and I have visited where it was filmed. I feel like anybody that knows any director other than...

The Coen brothers is obsessed with movies. Steven Spielberg. Spielberg. Scorsese. Tarantino. These are names in the zeitgeist. That's what I'm saying.

No, no. But you're right, though. Those names are the big names. Clint Eastwood. But when people, okay. Yeah, these are popular people. But I'm saying when you get into the names that aren't popular, Frank Darabomb or whatever, when you start getting into those people. Darabomb? It's like you know too much. It's also, it's not like this is some obscure movie that it's odd that I like. It's literally the number one rated movie on IMDb.

So it's like, this is a well-liked movie. It's a great movie. I watched it last night. Yeah, did you really? It was on this... AMC. Yeah. And sometimes if I'm on my computer working or something, I just want some background. Sure. That I don't even have to watch that close and just enjoy it. Sometimes I just miss my friend. Yeah.

Some birds aren't meant to be caged. What if, say, they had picked, say, Morgan Freeman wasn't in the movie? I know who was originally cast on this movie. Who was? It was supposed to be. The original offer was Tom Cruise to play the part of Andy Dufresne and Harrison Ford to play Morgan Freeman's part. And thank God that didn't happen. I think that would have been a fine movie, but.

Morgan Freeman is what makes that movie great. Well, Morgan Freeman's really great. No doubt about it. But I could not see Tom Cruise being Andy Dufresne, but I could see Harrison Ford. Harrison Ford's great. He could have pulled it off. Tom Cruise is great too, but I don't see him as Andy Dufresne. Yeah, yeah. What about a Lawrence Fishburne? He could have been a good. Oh, he could have been. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, they're kind of... Morpheus-type character. I mean, I think I've done this before, but I've cast us all as the characters. No, I don't remember this. I'm Brooks. I think that's kind of obvious. Outside world's just... If you haven't seen Shawshank, Brooks is 130 years old in the movie.

Yeah. And he's institutionalized. Brooks was here. And he runs the library. Yeah. Yeah. Brooks was here. He had a little mouse. He had a little, yeah. No, a bird. Bird. Yeah. Yeah. Jake. He didn't have a mouse. Who had a mouse? Mouse was escaped from Alcatraz. I think there's a character that maybe had him. Now you're thinking of the Green Mile. Yeah. Where the guy had a mouse. Stephen King likes to repeat some things. That's another Frank Darabum. Yeah.

Anyway, I cast everyone. I mean, you're Andy. I love that. Okay. Yeah. You're the hardest one. I kind of said Morgan Freeman. Okay. I like that. The guy who knows how to get things. Yeah. Wise guy. Street smart. Probably did do the crime. Deserves to be in there. The one guy who admits that he did the crime. Yeah. Who's Nate? Well, Nate, there's two. There's Tommy. He's the warden, I think. And he's the warden. Oh, yeah. Now, when the warden's like, you say obtuse, and he's like, what'd you say? Yeah.

solitary a month. I'm like, that's Nate. Oh, yeah. But then when Tommy's learning English and how to spell, that's also a little bit. So you're just calling him mean and dumb. That's what that combination of the warden and Tommy. The warden's great. You know, isn't the warden also in Ace Ventura 2? Yeah.

He's in a lot of stuff. Yeah, it's one of those guys that's just Bob Gunton is his name. I think he's in a lot of stuff. You're obsessed with that movie. All right, I'll move on. Well, I'm with MC Prime. Judgment cometh and that right soon. I'll say that. Now that I know you watched it last night and you've cast us all in it, I would say you're both a bit obsessed with it. Yeah. Or maybe Ryan just prepares for this podcast in a way that you and I don't. Yeah.

I got nothing else going on, guys. Next comment comes from Terry. Back it up, Terry. Beta box baits. What is a beta box? Is that some ancient technology you had growing up? Yeah. Beta. Yeah. Was it a beta box? Is that what it was called? I don't know. It is. Notice that. Okay. Is this another inappropriate joke? Somebody slipped through the cracks here. Beta box baits should do movie reviews for older movies that people may not have watched but are great.

You guys heard of the Shawshank Redemption? I'm all for that. Yeah, let's do it. I was trying to think of what a good one was. I mentioned it here a few weeks ago, Quiz Show. That movie came out about the same time as Shawshank. Never seen it. I think it's a very good movie. For anyone who's on a fake game show, not that Dusty would ever do that. You gonna watch that? Maybe so, yeah. I love an old movie. It would bother me if you do watch that. Why? Because I feel like I recommend stuff to you. What'd you recommend? I can't even think of something now, but...

how eager you were to accept that recommendation made me realize people don't take my recommendation seriously at all. Well, I think I do take your recommendation. Okay. All right. Have you ever watched it? Maybe I'm projecting a little bit. Yeah, I don't know what you've recommended. I'm sorry about that. That's less about you and more about me. Yeah. I don't know what you've recommended that I didn't watch, but I love an old movie. Okay. Okay. 70s era movies are the best. You've seen Whiplash?

No. You should watch Whiplash. I'm going to write that down. Nate would like Whiplash. Nate would love Whiplash if he gave it a chance. It's about a young man trying to become great. It's about greatness and the pursuit of greatness. I'll watch that before I watch Quiz Show. That's what I'm talking about. Just go ahead and cross Quiz Show off the list. Watch Whiplash twice. Go ahead. Have you seen Flash of Genius? No. No.

I think it's Greg Kinnear. It's about a guy who invented the intermittent windshield wipers, and then the government stole his idea. Oh, that's number one. That's number one. That's fair. That's right up Dusty's alley. That is what happens out here. Colin McKinley. Mount McKinley. Yep. It's changed now. Denali. Yeah. Tallest mountain in the United States. I think of the Western Hemisphere.

Okay. Why did they change it? Because it was on native land and the president came in and was just like, well, we're going to name that after me. So it was called Mount McKinley. And then McKinley died. And I don't even know who McKinley was. Is he a US president? I think so. Yeah. He's not one of the important ones, it feels like. So he died and then everyone forgot about him. They're like, let's go ahead and rename it. We didn't like that guy to begin with.

So now it's Mount Denali. Well, that's fine. I mean, why did McKinley deserve to have it named after him anyway? He didn't. Maybe he was president when Alaska became a state? Did he complete the Alaska purchase? Maybe. It might have been. Who knows? We'll never know. We never know. We'll never look it up. Colin McKinley says, I'm a fifth generation farmer.

Love that. So I was curious about what y'all would talk about. I'm sorry, Colin. There wasn't very much good. It's his first time. Yeah. He found us by YouTubing the word farming. It was like, oh, there wasn't very much good information on agriculture, but it was so funny to watch Aaron struggle to understand what a hay bale was.

I think you know what a hay bale is. Maybe its purpose was what you... I knew it was hay. But I think there are a lot of people like me that you see hay all the time.

And I think if you ask them, if you corner them in a room, put a gun to their head and go, tell me what hay does. I don't think they'd be able to tell you. You know, my dad raises hay every year, if that's what you could call it. But he every year he has these fields. Harvest. Yeah. He grows hay. He grows this tall grass. And then he comes through and he cuts the hay.

And then it has to dry. Okay. And then you have to go in with the tractor. Does it dry by just leaving it out on the field? Okay. As long as it doesn't rain. If it rains, it can really mess it up. Okay. And then. So you don't want rain. So they're the only farmers that don't want rain. You want rain before you cut it so that it will grow. But after you cut it, it needs to lay on the field and dry. And if it rains on it, it can cause it to mildew. Can you cover it up?

No, that would be a big tarp. Yeah. It's huge fields. So then you go and maybe block the sun. Yeah. They're working on it. Yeah. But the, so then, you know, you have a tractor to cut and then you go back to rake it. You need the tractor and then you need a tractor to bail it. So my dad would have me rake the hay. Okay. And then my dad would yell at me from the other tractor. If something went wrong that I didn't realize it was going wrong.

But I couldn't hear what my dad was yelling. I could just see him yelling. And I was like, oh, geez, I'm in trouble. Turn that tractor off so I can hear what you're saying. But then he's got to drive all the way across the field to finish yelling at me. So I just know it's coming for a long time. And I'm like, geez, I don't even want to be out here. And now you're yelling at me because I'm not doing it right. No walkie-talkies or anything like that? No. Yeah. I mean, they existed, but we didn't have it. Did you think hay bales were used for like fall festivals and –

Well, they are. Yeah, they are. Seating for a barn wedding. You know, something like that. Did you ever do the haunted hayrides? Oh, yeah. That was a lot of fun. Well, they're going to be haunted, Dusty. Well, that's the only time they were offering hayrides. Yeah, Halloween season. Yeah, they were never given just a good old regular hayride. Just a regular hayride sounds so boring, dude. Just like, you know, just a non-scary hayride. I think all hayrides are pretty scary, actually. Yeah.

You're out there on some windy road, dark. Got a lot of allergies. About to fall off a way. It's allergy season. That is scary. Unless you take Magic Spoon.

Oh, yeah. I'll tell you what, I've been trying to cut back on sugar, and Magic Spoon makes that easier than ever. They offer variety packs for flavor. My sister, it was a running joke in our family. My sister could not handle people chewing, dude. You could be having a peanut butter sandwich, and she would be in another room in the house and just yell, stop chewing. So that was crazy.

And she did some research and tried to convince us that she had a legit medical condition where the brain doesn't. It processes sounds of people eating as music or something. She tried to turn on that music. She did like a presentation to the family. It was like, I'm not crazy. And none of us believed her. Yeah. They're like, this presentation is not a presentation that's saying you're not crazy. Yeah.

And she might still, I don't know, still process sounds that way or something, but she stopped talking about it after a while. I have a problem with like chips or crackers or pork rinds when people are eating them around me. People eat pork rinds around you a lot. Well, one time I use that as an example because one time me and my mom was in the car together and she was eating pork rinds.

And it's my mom and everything's fine. We're just happy having a great day. And inside, I am so mad. I'm so irritated. Did you roll the windows down? I don't know. I just was like, I just wanted to be like, hey.

Stop eating the pork rinds. What are you doing? Throw the pork rinds up. But she's your mom. You're not going to do that. Right. You're just going to suffer in silence. Right. But back then. Bottle up. Take it out on your family. Right. Tell it on a podcast. Back then I ate pork. Now I would not even. I wouldn't accept it. Now you wouldn't let it in the car. Now I don't care what people do. Put whatever toxins you want in your body. Gabrielle DeJesus. That's a story. De Jesus.

Jesus, it's probably shocking to you guys, but Florida is one of the largest cattle states in the US. What? That is shocked. That is shocking. Hold on. Let's take a break and just process that. Sorry, Gabrielle. Gabrielle G. One of.

One of the largest, one of the top 50. We have some weird slaughter laws. So we are now cow calf producers and most cows that are born in Florida are slaughtered in the Midwest. Trust me, we have a lot of cows here. I believe you.

I believe you for sure. I think last week we said Florida took my place. Oh, did we? Oh, I'm sorry. And that's what I'm saying. It is shocking to know. But one of, to me, is it's like one of amongst, you know, like how high is it ranking?

Sure. Florida's a big state. If they were number one, you would have said number one. Yeah. And Florida, but it's like Florida has all this coastline that is just way different than what's going on in the middle of the state. Yeah. I mean, the middle of Florida is a different vibe. Right. Right. It makes me laugh because somebody's like, that's what somebody goes like, yeah.

I live in one of the top 13 cities. Number 13? Yeah. I feel like it'd be top 10 if you were seven or eight. Top 13. I always thought that, too. But you pointed out on this podcast, at least on some of those polls online, that's to draw you in? They do it purposely, an odd number? Yeah. Some of the psychology behind BuzzFeed articles, an odd number.

It has a higher click-through rate. Oh, okay. So top 11 or top 17 works better than top 20. You're more likely to click on it. Oh, okay. For some reason. That's weird. It's pretty crazy. Teresa. I'm shocked by that. Teresa O. I feel bad. I'm being mean to these people. I like it. I don't know why. I'm just joking around. It's a different vibe. I'm just joshing. I'm having a great time. I'm just joshing around. Teresa O.

I believe that medication has made our lifespan shorter. Oh, here we go, Dusty. Strap in. The older generation use more herbs, plants, and foods to heal their bodies. My great-grandfather used buttermilk to heal his digestive system. He never used antacid, Pepto, etc. He used leaves from a Japanese maple and aloe for skin care. Sassafras leaves for boils, acne, etc. He has...

He had skin cancer from farming in the sun for so many years, but lived to 100. Sorry. I didn't read the rest of the sentence. He was just saying she used all these leaves, blah, blah, blah. And then the next sentence was he had skin cancer. You're like, okay, sorry. It's like an air and radio interview. Sorry. Yeah. Sorry about that. I agree. But I don't know that I think it's the medication making our lives shorter. I think it's the food.

is making our lives shorter the medication is keeping us alive but unhealthy so the food is poisoning us and making us so sick that we need medicine so you're you always have to go to the doctor and keep buying medicine because you're so sick from the food it's interesting yeah i agree with that her great grandfather used buttermilk to heal his digestive system i feel like

I feel like buttermilk's causing some of the problems for me. I feel like buttermilk's why I need Tums. Well, buttermilk, yeah, I mean, it feels like in this that he's taking it like...

Maybe I'm just thinking of pancakes. I don't know what else he would use buttermilk for. I just eat a stack of pancakes. I'm eating buttermilk. My mom growing up said they couldn't, you know, buttermilk was the only thing they could afford. It was like a cheaper milk and that they would call what we drink now sweet milk. Oh.

Oh. And that was a real treat for that. I like that. And my mom used to eat buttermilk and cornbread in a bowl. That was a real treat for her. She liked that. She would take cornbread and break it up in a bowl of buttermilk and eat that. Yeah.

She loved it. That's an Opelika souffle right there. Buttermilk and cornbread. I don't know. That was more from... That's more of a Chambers County thing. I don't... Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Don't blame that on Opelika. Elmore County. Yeah, so it's in Chambers County. I got another...

I got another what is hay type question. All right. What is buttermilk? Is it just milk and butter mixed together? I think it's milk like when you milk a cow. I think you somehow scrape the butter comes and it's kind of scrape the butter off the top. Oh, geez. And then so buttermilk is just like you don't do that. Oh, you leave on. Right. So there's less done to it.

And I don't know, but it's something like that. I've never milked in the past. You churn milk to make butter, right? Yeah, I guess so. It's just something about there's less going on with it. I don't know. You've done less to it. I know when I was eating hot chicken, I wanted some milk today. So I could see how buttermilk might help your digestive system. Yeah, it wasn't buttermilk. But yeah, but I used to drink milk a lot when I had heartburn before I realized that the milk we have today is maybe not all that good. Yeah.

He just has loose pills in his pocket that he was pulling out. I've eaten four or five Tums on this podcast. Yeah. That's because I had a lot of hot chicken. What kind of Tums are you rocking over there? These are regular Tums today. Regular Tums? What do you mean? Well, I do a lot of chewable digestive enzymes. Okay. But I just have loose Tums in my pocket. So this is just a... You don't even have them rolled up anymore? No. He offered me and he just pulls it out of his pocket. I'm like, I think I'd rather burn up. Yeah. Just keep them in my pocket. Okay.

You just got a bunch of chalk in your pocket. I got vitamins and digestive enzymes. Cow gut pills. I got a lot of different things in different pockets. I got cow, what is it? Cow gallbladder pills. Supposed to be the gall. Like capsules? Yeah, supposed to be the gallbladder of a cow in a capsule. Okay. Supposed to help your stomach produce the bile that it needs to digest food. Okay. That's good. Yeah. It's good to have those. Yeah, it is. In the holster at all times. Yeah.

louise malphair malphair on the subject of living longer there are places around the world called blue zones they have the most people over 100 for various healthy reasons yeah there was a tribe that this guy used to talk about that they found and they were living to be like 120 years old and they were eating uh

And they would eat the apricots and then crack open the seed and eat the seed. And also they would make a oil out of the seed and put on their skin. So they looked really good even at 120 years old. Yeah. But why doesn't Guinness recognize them for their age? Well, they probably don't want us to know that there are people living that long.

Guinness doesn't? The beer company? I don't think that's who he's talking about. That's what it is. That's the same company. Is it? Yeah. Guinness Book of World Records. I don't think it's particularly the beer portion of Guinness that's worried about it. They share an office, I bet. I think Guinness beer, pubs, people were sharing fun facts and that's how the Guinness Book of World Records started. That's interesting. A little spin-off company. Yeah.

One of these blue zones is in California. You think they're all going to be third world. I don't know why I'd say third world, but places that eat much better than we do. What are they? Where in California, Nina? I think it was somewhere where they have a heavy presence of Seventh-day Adventists. Well, they're vegans, so that's got to be a big part of it. I had to work a Seventh-day Adventist wedding when I worked at a country club.

And it was a little different, a different vibe at that wedding than the other ones. I work, no alcohol, no caffeine, no dancing. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good old wholesome group of people. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. That's what everyone's saying. I'm just kidding. They were great. They were all very nice, but it was all vegan stuff. Yeah. I can't get down with that, but blue zones. Yeah. Seventh day Adventist Loma Linda is the core.

of america's blue zone region with a community of about 9 000 adventists who view health as central to their faith well that's got to be yeah it's a big part of their whole philosophy on life and stuff they don't smoke or drink alcohol that's another big thing you know one of the i looked this up i'm not i was not familiar with these blue zones i looked it up one of them is okinawa japan but they said in the 21st century that's kind of started started going away they're not living any longer than really rest of what changed

I don't know. They learned about GMOs. They learned about Magic Spoon. I thought you were about to segue into... No, Magic Spoon would extend their life. That's right. Ryan Hale. We have a bat house and live in a nice neighborhood. No complaints so far. And sitting on the porch at dusk watching the bats leave the house is super fun. Dusty. Good call on nixing the owl house because owls eat bats. Well, that's interesting.

I don't know that I wouldn't want to see an owl eat a bat though out in the backyard. I'll be honest with you. Yeah, I thought you'd be all about this. I just didn't want the owls to eat like the neighbors. Cats. Cats and things like that. And I also like the rabbits that we have around. I thought the owls might eat those.

They can eat rabbits? I don't know, but I would think so. They'd probably take a shot. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Just nip at them. Yeah. But I wouldn't. Yeah. I mean, that's good to know, though. Anything new at the bat house?

Now, I want to redo it because the day I borrowed my neighbor's ladder, he has a 40 foot ladder. I borrowed it and it was like real cold that day. And then my neighbor, my wife and my dad are in the backyard, like making fun of me about hanging the bat. I'm like, I've never hung a bat house. I didn't claim to be a professional bat house hanger.

I'm just like, I don't know why you guys are all acting like I've been bragging about how good I hang bat houses. I just said I want to get it up in the tree. You're like, I don't even want y'all watching me do this. Go inside. My wife's filming. Everybody's making jokes. I'm like, why don't you help me figure this out? Because my tree wasn't wide enough for the way they had you hang the bat house. I think it's better if you put it on the side of a barn or something, but I don't have a barn and my house is not wooden. So.

So I was just doing what I could do. And they're all like, oh, Mr. Bat out here. And I'm like, Mr. Bat. They even call you Batman. Mr. Bat. It's like, all right, all right. Let's just get it up. You guys get out of here. Flat Cat Jessica. Oh, I know Flat Cat Jessica. I just see her comment on stuff. Yeah.

Good old flat cat. Yeah. She follows me on Twitter. Oh, nice. All right. Shout out to flat cat. Yeah. I was wondering if when Dusty shops for Marketplace, do any of the people ever recognize him? I would love it if Dusty showed up at my house to buy a bathtub. That sounds like you do know flat cat. Well, actually, yeah. Actually, yeah, a guy, I bought a cabinet from him. He said he went to high school with Nate on.

Oh, okay. And he watches the podcast. I don't know if he watches the podcast, but he's seen me somewhere. Okay. Yeah. I just did. I'd never met my neighbor across the street, but they came to my show a few months ago at Zaney's that you guys were both on. And he and his wife, but I didn't get to talk to them afterwards. So last week they were standing out there and, or the husband was, and I went over there and talked to him for a little while. And, and he said, man, I had a great time at Zaney's. And I was like, oh, thank you so much. He said,

That Dusty Slay, he is so funny. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. He said, man, his video, he just keeps talking about Dusty. And I was like, after a while, I was like, all right, dude, I got to go. I'm just going to go in the house. You're my sister-in-law. You're her favorite comic. Oh, yeah. Yeah, she's great. I don't know if she's ever watched me do comedy, but every time Dusty comes to Columbus. Yeah, she's great. Every time you're in Columbus, they're able to find a babysitter super easily. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

Yeah, well, Dusty's good. Well, if it means anything, your brother doesn't come. You know what? That does mean a lot. Thanks. Thanks for telling me that. Yeah. Rachel Stoll. Oh, by the way, I'm a godfather. That couple, my brother and his wife just had a kid, and I went up there for the baptism. First god kid. In Columbus? In Columbus. Yeah, yeah. That's great. Godfather, dude.

Rachel stole Aaron smiling during all of Dusty's ad reads is the reason I'll never skip through the ads. It reminds me of two high schoolers waiting for the other to mess up reading out loud in class. Yeah. Thanks, Rachel. That's really nice. Those are the best laugh. I had some of the hardest laughs of my life in church or school or when you're not supposed to laugh, dude. I've been in a lot of trouble for that in my life. Really? Yeah.

Yeah. In school, that's what I would get in trouble for all the time is laughing when you're not supposed to laugh. There's nothing funnier than laughing when you're not supposed to laugh. Yeah. It has the opposite effect. Yeah. Have you ever seen that clip of James Winston and he's an NFL combine? He's going to interviewed by coaches. I think it was John Gruden was like, have you ever been, were you ever disciplined for bad behavior in high school? He was like, uh,

Yeah, I laughed at my coach when he cried in the locker room. The coach was crying. He just started laughing. And I go, I get it, dude. I've been there where you're like something about a serious moment and then you see your friend and he makes a face or something and you can't stop it. You know, Jameis Winston very well could be a terrible person. I don't know. But he is so funny in interviews. He goes, one interview I saw, he goes, it's like coach said.

Wait, what did he say? I mean. You know what I love is when you tell me about rocket money. So we can laugh. Yeah. Yeah. That was good. It was all right. It was okay. It wasn't as good as.

Because I kind of felt it was coming. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Well, sorry. You're still on camera. If I asked you guys how many subscriptions you would have had, would you be able to list all of them? And would you be able to tell me how much you're paying? No, because you guys are idiots. If you would have asked me this question before I started using Rocket Money, I would have said, yeah, but let me tell you, I would have been wrong. I would have been lying. I've had way more than I thought. And some of them, I was just wasting money. All of them. Right.

Rocket Money is a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bill. It really is amazing. It crawls through your credit card statement. Why don't you go ahead and explain what that is? Explain it to me like you were a fifth grader. Yeah, yeah. It's like Brian says. What did you say? I think it's like, you know, there's a...

maybe like an order of things we're supposed to, that we're supposed to be in the certain order, like waking up in the morning. We should probably wake up when the sun comes up and open the window and look at sun before cutting on a fake light, letting some real sun come into our lives and go to sleep at a decent time. Get some real sleep, not...

be so involved with electronics. So it's your body's internal clock and its relationship to your sleep cycle. That's what I think. Okay. And mine, when I'm on the road is a mess because I get, I get done doing shows. I don't party. Now I've not been smoking cigars. So I just go back to my hotel room and look at my phone. Yeah. It's the saddest.

I don't even know what to do anymore. They're like, get rid of all your bad habits. And I'm like, yeah, but what am I supposed to do with my time? Just sit in a dark room. Yeah. Yeah. It's tough because by the time you get home from the second show, it's late enough. You could go to bed if you could go to sleep. Yeah.

but you're still wired from the show. I'm assuming. Yeah, absolutely. You ever be flipping through tick tock or something and you can feel it rotting your brain. Yes. I had that this week. I was like,

I haven't been enjoying this for a while and I'm still doing it, dude. I had to like throw the phone across the room. Let's start over. My circadian rhythm's a mess. You're like Dusty at the table. You guys could just put stuff down. That's why when I'm at home in the spring and summer, I go out in the yard or I go out to the land. I take my shoes off. I walk around on the ground. I touch some trees. I get in the dirt and I feel the sunshine. I feel wonderful.

You do some grounding. Yeah. But in the wintertime, what are we supposed to do out here? Move to Florida or somewhere like that. At college, they used to have this. They had these lamps that you could sit in front of during the winter that were supposed to simulate the sun, sun lamps. They had a bunch of them in a room.

And people would go and just sit in front of them. Were they a certain color? I don't know. I never went. I was, you know, strong-willed and, you know. So this guy. I like that. Because in college, you're not thinking about that stuff. No, but some people were. Some people, seasonal effectiveness. Right. Effective. Oh, yeah. Just sad.

That's it. And if people got sad, they go sit in front of those lights. I'd like a sunroom, like a glass room that I could just go sit in in the wintertime. Like what? So there'd be some heat in there. Okay. But the sun could still come through the glass. You want a porch? Yeah. Like a glass. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. This is a special type of. Yeah, but it is kind of special. I have a glass like Wendy's used to have off the side of the restaurant. You remember those? Oh, yeah. They still do. I think. Right. Yeah.

Oh, I know what you're talking about. Yeah, they look like a little greenhouse. Yeah. Yeah. Well, don't make me feel bad for going to Wendy's. Yeah. You're the one who wants the sunroom. I don't know. I haven't been to Wendy's in years. Loser. Just try to help out here. I wouldn't know. I take my house seriously. Okay, man. I just go in there for the sun. I don't order it. I don't even order it. It's like, where's your green room? I want to grow a little.

Well, there's some guy who's a circadian rhythm specialist. And he just wrote a new paper saying it can really affect your longevity by the light you expose yourself to.

There's white light and I think blue light and not literally the lights are blue, but a type of light, which is your phone, your tablet, stuff like that. That if you look at late at night, it affects your circadian rhythms. That blue light, right? Yeah. I know that people wear these glasses that eliminate blue light. If they're looking at the computer for too long, there's blue light glasses. I used to use an app. I didn't, I stopped using it. It's called Flux. Yeah. And I had that installed anywhere and it would,

change the color of your computer throughout the day to fit it. Yeah. It would like, and by the end, by like 3 a.m. Like your whole screen is just orange because it's eliminated all the blue light. Could you even look at it that late? Well, that's why I stopped using it. Cause when I was doing Photoshop and stuff, it's hard to edit stuff. Everything's orange, you know, but if you're just browsing the internet, it's like, who cares what color stuff is, you know, but you're doing Photoshop like at 3 a.m.

Back in the day, I was doing some stuff. I was doing stuff where the color was important on the screen. I've got my phone set up now where if I triple tap the back of it, it goes grayscale. What is that? It goes black and white. That's called grayscale? You triple tap the back of the phone? Yeah. That's an accessibility option on the phone, on the iPhone, where if you triple tap the back of it,

It goes black and white. Yeah, yeah. You can set that to do anything. If you go into the accessibility features, you can have that do something. I don't even know if I know about accessibility features.

Okay. Do you have shortcuts or anything set up on your phone? Yeah. Do you have folders? Making fun of me for grayscale. This guy over here. He was just telling me about a mirror room or something on his phone. Somebody told me a trick to cut down on screen time is to... Shut that dog up. Just put your phone on black and white. Everything's a little boring in black and white. You don't want to scroll through. Instagram looks boring as heck. They're flipping through. It's black and white. But...

I made it too easy to change back so I can just immediately tap back. And I'm like, yeah, it's boring. I guess the whole point should be, it should be difficult to change it back to color. But anyway, it's gotta be like an algebra problem to get it back to color. Yes, exactly. Dogs going wild. Dogs are lovely, aren't they? You hate Nate's dog. Dusty hates Nate's dog. I don't think you hate Nate's dog any more than other dogs. Do you? Yeah.

I get along fine with Nate's dog now, but it's like I've been over here now, I don't know, hundreds of times. Right. And she keeps acting like it's never seen before. They can sense fear when people don't like them. But it's like, I like him. I'm not afraid of the dog now. And I like her just fine. But every time a dog goes off, she's just like, geez. Yeah. Come on, Holly. Let's get it together. Yeah. She's still gone off. I guess the postman's here. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sure that's it. Or something. Anyway, this guy, he's an expert in circadian rhythms. He published a paper saying the three most important things you can do is basically what Dusty said. Dusty didn't have to go to college for this. This is in my realm of things I pay attention to. Morning sunlight. Sunlight in general is essential, but morning sunlight is the most important. Okay. In the spring and summer, I like to get up and I got some chairs out back. I'll go just sit out back in the sun.

It's really great.

Well, morning sunlight is one. If you can find a Wendy's near you, that's very important. Go there. And then I already forgot what the other two are. Spending time outdoors, spending or sleeping at a regular time each day. Oh, yeah. Don't stay up late or sleep till noon. That's what's messing me up the most right now because I'm on like I get up with my kids. Right. So I'm on dad's schedule. I'm waking up 637 every day when I'm home. Uh-huh.

I get up with the kids. And when I'm home, I go to bed 9, 10 o'clock. When I'm on the road, though, I'm going to bed at 2, 3 o'clock. You might not be starting a show until after 9. Yeah. And so I'm in Tulsa. The late show starts at 10, 15 on Friday. So then-

I'm not saying that. I'm sorry. Because I go to bed early. Right. Because I can't imagine anyone in my realm would come to see me at 10, 15 at night. And then so I do that and then I go back to my hotel. Can't get to sleep. But yet I still wake up.

I'm listening, Dusty. I'm sorry. Yet I still wake up at 6, 7 o'clock. Oh, okay. Even though, and then I'm like forcing myself to go back to sleep, but it's not a good. So you're cooked. Yeah. Yeah. So by the end of the weekend, I'm just like, and then I'm on the plane and I'm, I just feel exhausted. Yeah. I fall asleep and wake up and my neck hurts. I was struggling today, dude. My flight, I boarded at 5.50 this morning.

The day before that, I boarded at 5 a.m. It's been two long days, man. And I'm starting to feel, this is right around the time of day I start to feel it. It's 5.30 right now. Just, you know, full transparency. It's 5.30 p.m. And it's hitting me. Yeah. It's hitting me hard. And then you drink a lot of coffee. I might not make it. Yeah. And then you're like, oh, I'm about to have a heart attack. It's all farce, dude. Yeah. It's all farce because then, you know.

you crash well i still go to bed late and i sleep pretty late like 10 10 30 at night p.m go to bed no so i burn the midnight oil every now and then i've seen the tonight show a few times at least the start of it yeah see who hosts watch the monologue yeah that uh no i mean everyone thinks because all the old jokes that i go to bed right but you're still a comic so you're up late and yeah and and

I've never been a morning person and my wife is a morning person. So it kind of worked out well when the baby is born, she gets up with the baby. And when the baby wasn't sleeping through the night, I would be the one that would stay up. Okay. And so I would on regularly, not now, but we'd go to bed like it on average, like 2 AM. Okay. And, but then I would sleep in the morning as late as I wanted. Is that a fair trade between spouses? You know, no. Who, who, who got the raw end of the deal? I,

I did. I would say you did by staying up. Yeah. It's like, I mean, Hannah would, it was kind of the opposite for us. Hannah would do night duty. I would do daytime duty. I'd be on Daisy duty. But yeah, I definitely feel like I gave her the worst end. Well, it's not like she got up at 2 a.m. It's just that I would kind of be on watch with the baby woke up.

Now, if the baby woke up at 150, I don't in 10 minutes say, get in here. I stay up with the baby until she's back asleep. But the baby would always wake up by like five or something. And then my wife would be up. But I don't know. To me, I got the better end of the deal because I'm more of a night person than a morning person.

In saying that, I still stay up pretty late, but I sleep into the morning, meaning close to half of my sleep is after the sun's come up. So meaning that according to this and according to Professor Slay, that's not good. Yeah, you're done. You're supposed to be sleeping while it's dark and up when the sun's up. Now, is this reflected in the I'm wondering if this is reflected. I'm not going to read this, but in the lifespan of different parts of the world.

Like the parts of the world where you get a ton of sunlight, do they live longer than the people that live near the poles and they don't get any sunlight? Is there any kind of data that reflects that? We'll find out. One of the listeners dig in. But don't some of the poles put half the year? It's all sunlight. Not half the year.

I didn't know. I thought maybe near the poles. I'm just saying if the thesis statement of this is that your sun exposure affects your lifespan, then we should be able to see...

uh disparities and lifespan based on sun exposure well that's what i think is one of our our biggest lies that are out there and i got no way to prove it but one of the biggest lies out there is that the sun is bad for us and that we should be out of the sun i think the sun is great for us and like people wear sunscreen all the time and i just think i realize that certain people are more pale than others and they can burn and it's like you know but it's like

People are like sunscreen and up all the time. I just, I don't think we should burn, but I think that our burning is a warning to our body to say, Hey, you've been out here too long. But if you aware 15 minutes for me, but if you're wearing sunscreen, you're not burning, but your body is still being exposed to the sun. So you're not getting that warning. You're basically just putting that on your skin going, don't warn me when I've been out here too long.

I disagree. I disagree. I think sunscreen protects you from the dangerous sun rays that causes skin cancer, but it allows you to still be out in the sun to enjoy the benefits of sunlight. Right, right, right. I don't think so.

Well, I think that, you know, sunscreen's only been around for a little while. And since the beginning of time, we've been out here and the sun is the life giver. I mean, without the sun, the plants don't grow. I mean, sun's the real life giver, I think. It's a big part of it. Can I counter that? Yeah, please. No, no, let's keep you going. Dusty's an idiot. There you go. Let's move on. I think the sun's important too. Go outside and just get a good look at it. Just look at it. It's good for you. It can't burn your eyes.

You know, if you look at the sun,

and it starts to hurt your eyes, it's just a warning that you've been looking at it too long. I agree. April 8th. Go look at it. What's happening on April 8th? I think it's April 8th. That's when the next solar eclipse. Oh, in Nashville? Oh, I've marked it down for what somebody said. I mentioned it. I wrote the date. It's like the first episode of the new year that that's happening this year. Okay. It's sometime in April. April 8th, I got. Yeah. Okay. I marked it down the other day. 2024 total eclipse. Yeah. How about that? It's supposed to come in through the...

and go up to the northeast. It's not going to pass over Nashville. But we'll be able to see it. We'll be able to see it a little bit, but I want total darkness. Yeah, it won't be total like it was a few years ago when it came through for us, but it will be if you go just a little bit northwest. We can make a trip out to Memphis.

Go check it out. Well, Memphis is not in the path of that either. You go to Lowell Arkansas. We could. Why don't we all take a big trip, the four of us, to Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Do a podcast from out there. Do a podcast in the dark. Yeah. You know?

We could do that. Okay. All right. I feel like there was one more point he made, and I can't even remember what it was now. Well, the other point is that if you got to sleep in pitch darkness, leaving the lights on in the bedroom will shorten it. Who's doing that? That's hard to do. I'm still a little terrified of it, but...

Well, it's pitch black. I'm like, Oh, you don't like total. You don't like blackout curtains in a hotel or anything. No, I do, but I don't want it to be pitch black. I don't like when I can't see something. Yeah. Yeah. You got to see a little bit bleeding in. Yeah. When it's pitch black, I'm feel like totally lost. Like you're in a cave. Yeah. Can't tell. I tell you what, riding the tour bus, which we've all done.

It can be hard because of all the rocking, but when you pull that curtain, it's pretty black in there. Oh, dude, you're in a cocoon. It's awesome, dude. Yeah. You slept on that tour bus? I did Bert's tour bus. Yeah. Yeah, I slept pretty good on that. Was there a lot of good, healthy sleep going on on that tour bus? Yeah.

Everybody got their eight hours. Yeah. Well, we did get a pretty good bit of sleep just during the day. And it was nice to have that curtain drawn back like that. But yeah, they are staying up late. Yep.

The buses I've been on too, they got a little air vent right above you and you can just angle that down and it's just, oh dude. I do like a wind chamber of a, I like a fan. I like what they call the wind machine. Oh yeah. And it just, that's all you hear. Oh, noise machine. Yeah. It's also the fan. I want it to feel like a leaf blower is going off on my face. Yeah. Yeah.

I never told you this, but are you serious? Yeah. It's like a cool leaf blower. Oh yeah. Is the leaf blower not cool? I don't know. I just feel like it'd be a warm heat. No, I don't want a warm heat. I don't care. Time of year, no matter what. I want cold air, dude. Well,

The last time we did, I think it was, I guess, Johnson City to Bridgestone Arena on Nate's bus. You were in the bunk above me. And your CPAP tube was hanging down a little bit. Dude, don't talk about that in the podcast. Oh, sorry. I'm just kidding. Yeah, it was hanging down the side. A little bit. And I wanted just to mess with you. Just squeeze it. Squeeze it. Just kill me up there. And you'd be like, it's just a prank. And I'm up there gasping for air.

Is that oxygen coming through the CPAP? Yeah, it's just air, dude. It's whatever it grabs. Yeah. You know? I want an oxygen. There's a little filter the size of a postage stamp that I replace every six months, you know? Yeah. No, I do it. You're supposed to replace it way more often. I want like a chamber of oxygen that I could just lay in and just get real oxygen.

good oxygen. Okay. That's what I want. Yeah. You've been getting, you're breathing good. You should go to Wendy's more often. Yeah. You're doing all right, man. You can just go buy those too. You know, if you've got any like out sporting goods store in the hiking section, they sell those just things of oxygen. Oh yeah. Go grab more of this. How do you, how's it work? Well, you just, you know, you put it in your, you ever see an NFL player on the sideline and they go get that oxygen. You can go get that. You just put it in your mouth and breathe it in.

Those are hooked up to like a machine, right? Yeah. Hooked up to a little tank. You can just buy that. Yeah. You can buy like almost disposable little, their size of like a two liter, a two liter Coke. Oh, I'm into that. Go, go, go get you an inhale.

I saw you did. I saw a video of you doing smelling salts for the first time. I did smelling salts this weekend. Was that real? Yeah, that was real. It's pretty intense, man. Yeah. It was called smelling salts. That's like if you get knocked out or whatever, they'd put that in there to wake you up. Well, I looked into it a little bit. They have been used for a long time. They're using it back. The ancient Greeks, I think, were using smelling salts to...

do god knows what but now it's mostly just like guys weightlifting or athletes will do it because it gives you a big jolt before you're about to do something it's so much more intense than you think it is you think you smelled something bad and strong but you i mean it's wow it hits you i think i smelled it 20 years ago smelled what my buddy had some oh yeah yeah

But they used to be for athletes that were like passed out on the field, right? Oh, maybe. That would wake you up, though. Somebody's passed out. That's what I envisioned like in the 80s. There's always guys laying out on the field. They didn't know anybody. They just put smelly songs. Get up and get back in the game. I was doing it for an Instagram story. Why did you have it? Just a story, though, not a real. You should have did it for a real. Try to get those views. I couldn't think of a funny way to do it.

you know what i mean yeah i couldn't think of a i think it didn't feel grid worthy i think you should do that and then do it till you throw up and then that goes on the internet well if i would have had a more crazy reaction to it i mean you gotta stay there let's do it again i should have brought some in today let's put that in your um what what do you what do you call that machine

CPAP? CPAP. Yeah, let's put that in the little filter. No. I would die. I think I would die. Because I barely inhaled it. Yeah. It just kind of touched my nose. If I would have really... I mean, I don't know if I'd be here today. I would have passed out in the under-construction Airbnb in Toledo, Ohio. You should try it again, and if it doesn't work, use Delete Me. Okay.

That was pretty good. All right.

As a person who exists publicly, I'm all over the place. We are hyper aware of safety and security. It's easier than ever to find personal information about people online. All this data hanging out on the internet can have consequences in the real world. Nate and Laura have been using Delete Me for a long time, and now I've signed up. I just got an update today with some of the stuff that they removed. Onboarding process is easy. You put your info in. They crawl through the internet, and they send out reports monthly.

startlingly good. Did you have some of that video to show us? Yeah, absolutely. If you guys would banter for a couple minutes, I'll go ahead and pull it up. What is it that you have about it, Brian? Well... Oh, man, what a pro!

Well, you brought it up. I know, I know, I'm sorry. So you have something marked down. I do, by chance, Dusty. Good call. Yeah, man, go on. So there's a guy...

He just goes by the name Gage. I guess that's his Instagram name or whatever. I know a guy named Gage. I know a guy with gauges. What does that even mean? You know what gauges are? Those holes in your ears. Oh, okay. No, I really didn't. I know several guys with gauges. I saw a video of a guy putting a lock on a guy's ear and running away. Oh, no.

I hope it was his friend. I hope it was staged. Here's a good example. This is one of the official videos. This was a text prompt. Prompt.

See, I did the opposite of Dusty. I took a T out of that. Beautiful, snowy Tokyo City. I don't think I put T's in. I'll be honest with you. Okay. All right. You didn't hear that? I mean, I pity the fool that didn't take the extra T. Beautiful, snowy Tokyo City. I mean, this looks like a professional video. That's AI video. This looks like a video game to me. I mean, it looks very good, but it looks like...

How about this? Several giant woolly mammoths approaching, treading through a snowy meadow. They're long, woolly fur.

And even human beings, it generates very well. Look at this. This is a movie trailer. Oh, now that's really good. Yeah. Featuring the adventures of a 30-year-old spaceman wearing a red wool knitted motorcycle helmet. And it just generates the video. In the same way that I remember not long ago when the still image application of this technology came out, my mind was blown. Right. Now, how quickly we've come this far.

That, I mean, who knows what this will look like six months from now, let alone six years. And the technology that they probably actually have is probably far more advanced than this. That's the spin I wanted. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, probably, I mean, it really is. It's like, who knows? Maybe in the future, every video they show us of the president is just AI. And we actually have no president.

Some deep states just running the whole country. Maybe. Can you imagine something crazy like that? I can. Yeah, I can get there. This is amazing. Like those are those real people that somehow they've given rights to use their image? No, that's an AI generated person. So that person does not exist.

That was amazing. Now that one, not so much, but those other closeups of those guys, I mean, that one's not, that's not, that looks like my, the spaceman guy looked, um, so wild. The spaceman guy. Yeah. That looks like that's, you only know it's fake because, uh, space is not real. That's the only reason that you know, it's fake. Exactly. Yeah. That's what everyone's thinking. Exactly. Um,

Anyway, there was a guy, this guy Gage, whoever that is.

He has found a way to use his great knowledge to scam McDonald's out of free meals. Love that. Basically what he does, goes into McDonald's, steals receipts, which most people, they don't keep the receipt. They throw it in the trash, throw it on the floor or whatever. It's not too hard to get receipts. I guess each receipt has a special, probably a QR code or something where you can download to fill out a survey.

He then goes online, puts the worst answers possible. And then for the comments, I guess he uses ChatGPT to write these terrible reviews of his experience. If it's not good enough, he'll tell ChatGPT to make it even worse. Then McDonald's quickly sends him vouchers for free food because of the bad write-up. And he says he's gotten hundreds of vouchers for free food. Wow.

I love that this guy is a complete genius, and yet he's still eating McDonald's. Yeah. It does seem like he could use that towards something better. Yeah. The scam doesn't work on Whole Foods. Okay. You got to do it on McDonald's. But it's a testament that McDonald's cares enough about their customers. They're like, don't stop eating here. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Keep coming back. Yeah. Put it in your body. Mm-hmm.

and we'll give you you know four dollars but i'm sure that adds up how do you inconspicuously steal a bunch of receipts out of a trash can i mean i've been in some mcdonald's where there's a lot going on in there you could probably get away with it but i'm thinking of like he's got to go in at an odd hour when the employees are getting screamed at by people and that's when you go in and get the receipts too he set off the i think this guy's in london

He says off the table or off the till. What would that be? The till? That would be the cash register as the thing is running. That's what I thought. That's what I would think. The till. That's what they call a cash register? I think it's like the printer. I think that's what it would be called. A till is to prepare land for the raising of crops. We'll try till. It's the drawer in a cash register. Yeah. Okay. British people are. How are you stealing it out of the till, though?

I don't know. Maybe like it prints out and I guess I don't know. Cause see the drawer would be underneath the cash register.

Right. So I was thinking it's just the printer. Maybe he's just swiping it off. He jumps over the counter, punches a few people. Yeah. This is actually a story about a violent criminal trying to get free McDonald's. You know, at the airport, he doesn't say this, but at the airport, I feel like people really just take your receipt, just throw it somewhere. Oh, yeah. So those would be easier to collect. Right. Maybe he goes to the airport. This guy's working so hard for McDonald's.

It's like just... Well, the point is he's not working that hard, really. But it's like... It's AI's doing the... He's got to go out and get all these receipts. Yeah, I guess so. That's really the only bottleneck of this. Yeah. And then everything else... You love this guy. Big fan of what he's doing. Respectfully does. I'd like to get in on the ground floor of this guy. See if we can scan some other restaurants. Yeah. Let's get Panera in there. Yeah. Let's get Panera in the mix. Cheesecake factory. Well...

I'm trying to eat well. The two restaurants that you and Nate debated over. That's right. Yeah, I'm trying to get some free Panera. Speaking of the airport, dude, I was thinking about this today. Do you know how much the average American flies per year? If you had to guess. One time. 1.4. And then the person that has flown, you know how many times they've flown per year? If you take an average person who flies, how often they fly? Twice. Yeah, four. Four times a year. So that all to say.

This next random about to go on might be boring for most people, but it's a big part of my life. I can't wait to hear it. I was furious this morning at Clear. Oh, yeah. Clear makes my blood boil, dude. I pay for pre-check. I don't pay a lot. It's $70 for five years, you know, but I'm a part of the system. Right. Clear adds nothing to.

to the security process. Pre-check, I think, helps. It helps the whole system, right? It's got a separate lane. Everybody moves through quick. All clear does is it just lets people cut the line. So you didn't speed up the whole thing. You're just charging people to cut the line. And the TSA pre-check line was long this morning, dude, and I'm creeping my way up and I'm about to miss the flight. And then this woman with the smile on her face just gets...

escorted up to the front of the line and I went off dude I was furious the guy in front of me was mad too we bonded over it I just don't understand where they came

Where they get off. Well, I'm going to say as a clear subscriber. Oh, yeah. You're the part of the problem. My complaint is that the Nashville airport clear is slower than pre-check. By the time I go through clear, I could have gone. So I don't even do clear in Nashville.

I just use PreCheck because it's not even, but it's like, yeah, if you're in that situation, like the Denver airport. Oh, yeah. Clear as eye. Boom. I'm right through. Do you feel guilty that you're contributing to the end of the world? No, because it is more expensive than TSA. It is expensive, but they're not helping anything. They're not helping anything. I agree. But you don't care.

You're just trying to, you just think it's all about you. Well, this is what happened. I'll tell you what happened. I was in San Francisco one time years ago doing Clusterfest and I, they had me do this late show and it ran me a lot longer than I wanted it to. And I was coming to meet you, I think in some other place to do comedy. Okay. I think so. And, and I was like, I think I'm going to miss this flight. Yeah.

And a person from clear approached me and they said, Hey, if you sign up for clear right now, you can skip this whole line. And I was like, what? And so I was like, okay. And then they go and you can cancel, you know, in a few days, if you want, you don't even have to pay. So I go, okay. And then it's, they're like, Oh, we just got to do an eye scan. And I'm like, Oh,

And we just need your fingerprints. And I was like, no. That's how they get you. But I was like, I don't want to miss this flight. I gave up all this privacy for convenience. Yeah. And then, you know what? I didn't miss the flight. I don't know that I would have otherwise. It seemed like that would take a while. But it was still faster than that line. I mean, it was pretty rapid. Yeah.

And now I just didn't cancel and it just auto renews. And I'm like, when there's a lot of times when I'm like, oh, this is just made life real easy. I get it though. I mean, I get the individual incentives, but when you're, you take a step back and you're watching this unfold, you're like, you guys aren't helping anything. No.

You're just, it's just, I think it's, I read an interview with the CEO and the founder of the company. And she said, the average clear consumer or customer uses it 12 times a year. We want people to be using it 12 times a day. Oh, geez. They want to have clear technology employed everywhere. Stadiums, restaurants, they want everything to work like that. So you're like, that's what you're a part of. Mm-hmm.

So I hope you feel good about yourself. Well, I just feel like it's all going that way. Minority report. Cause remember that movie? Yeah. I just watched it recently. Everything was, you're obsessed with it, dude. Yeah. Well, I love the director, Michael. Yeah. Dear,

I didn't mean to. I mean, I feel like I took the podcast in a weird direction just now. I'm just saying I was watching it this morning. I'm sorry, Brian. I feel it was just really annoying. I thought your rant was going to go a different direction because you're actually you were your complaint seemed to be more at the frequent traveler.

See, I feel like I'm just encountering people all the time in the airport that never fly. And it's not fair to them. They're confused. They don't fly a lot. They're like, where's my seat? The average person 1.4 times a year. They're like, where's my seat? I don't know where to put my bag. Right, right.

But me, I'm like, I'm like ready. I know where, I mean, I'm flying. We're jaded. We're broken. We're calloused. We're tired. We're the worst. We got no sleep. We're dead inside. The night before we were the star of the show. We were like, look at us. The next morning we're sleep deprived. I sold 40 tickets last night. I'm a,

God crammed into a plane with people that don't know what they're doing. Exactly. And it's like, it's frustrating because it's like, no, I don't think I'm better than the people, but I do think I'm more experienced and I should get some respect on this. I should be able to cut the line as you hold the hand of a man in a vest and he brings you to the front. Yeah. You got a little smirk on your face as you're doing it. I'm sure I saw now I wasn't on Southwest, so it didn't bother me as much, but yesterday at the airport, uh,

I'm flying and like, there's a guy in a wheelchair. Here we go. I love it. And his whole family, like eight people get to board the plane with him. I'm like, there is, that is completely unnecessary. Okay.

That guy and one family member should get to board. The guy pushing him, not the whole extended family. I was like, all of these people get to board? This wasn't even your flight. You were just walking by. No, it was my flight. But I'm like, I'm group one. You know what I mean? I should be first on this plane. They should be lucky I was on this flight. Yeah.

Here's my travel complaint for the weekend. Let's do it. I think you can help me with this, Aaron. I love it. Because I've heard you, Mitch. I was thinking about you this weekend about renting cars. Because you have set up now where you don't even have to go to the counter. Is that correct? Well, I'm platinum on Enterprise. I don't know if that's contingent on your status with them, but you can check in through the app and then just walk right, bypass the counter, walk right to the garage and up to the car. That's great. Because the last few times I've traveled...

You get there, and I tweeted about this. It's like every car company all lined up. You're like, oh, great. Mine, there's nobody there. Why is everybody in this one line? Because thrifty, dollar, all of them, you got to get in line for budget. Right. For that one person. And then National and Enterprise and Alamo and everybody, too. They just cram them down to one. You can't go cheap with the rental car. I feel like if you go Enterprise, it's usually pretty fast.

If you go budget, it takes a while. I mean, that's my experience. They live up to the name. Because I used to book budget because it was cheaper. And then I was like, I got a spring for Enterprise just so I don't have to stay. I mean, it will be like 45 minutes sometimes at the counter. Some guy- It was this weekend. Some guy yelling at this lady as she types away because-

Because he didn't put his wife name down on the thing. And he's like, you told me it would be this much money. And she's like, I don't know. I just work here and I didn't tell you anything. You've never talked to me. Yeah, it's always the person that had nothing to do with it, which is frustrating in itself. But anyway, yeah, the last few times it's been such a long way to the counter. Totally. And this weekend I was like, I got to talk to Aaron about this way to bypass this because this is crazy. Yeah.

Yeah, Enterprise is usually pretty good. You check it on the app, you can go right out there to the garage. I usually don't spend too long in Enterprise. You rent a lot of cars. I do it pretty much everywhere, yeah. I like the freedom of it, dude. It's a big difference between me and you. I like freedom, even if it's inconvenient. A price.

I like freedom. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. I don't like to be tied to a rental car all the time. Right. Well, you're not necessarily tied to it. You can kind of go wherever you want. You can always turn it in if you want. But what I would never do is sign my soul away to skip a line or something like that. You know what I mean? I care about freedom and the future of this country and my own guiding principles. I think you should relinquish your TSA pre. What do you mean? Well, stand with everybody else. I mean.

I mean, you want to be a man of people. Look. Stand with them. Just because you have a clear background, not everybody has a clear background check. Some people have made mistakes in their lives. Yeah, I was surprised you could even get it. Pre-check's different because it's benefiting me, but it does not take away from the general boarding at all. I'm not disrupting them at all. I'm not letting...

I'm not trying to stay in the way of these plebs out here. They can have fun over there on that side, right? But what I would never do is walk over and walk right in front of them. The main benefit of the pre-check is that you don't have to take shoes off and you don't have to stand in the x-ray machine. You don't have to take electronics out of your backpack. I don't like standing in the x-ray machine. Yeah. And it's also the speed, right? Yeah, speed. Yeah, that's a big part of it. Speed's good too. Exactly.

And I'm not doing I'm not achieving any of those things at the expense of someone else. Well, I'm not. Maybe the airport employee checking you in TSA pre would be available to help with general boarding if TSA pre didn't exist. It's not my responsibility to to to schedule the employees at the restaurant at the at the airport. You know what I mean? But I don't feel like it's not it's not on me hurting anyone, though. We're just moving right past you guys.

What? We're just moving right past you. How is that not hurting me if you're literally cutting me in line? Well, you guys are, you know, I don't want to just stand around with people that can't get the latest technology. You know what I mean? You're using a typewriter and I got a laptop out here and it's not my fault.

That's fair. Look, I get it. If I had clear, if I had, if I had sold my soul, you know, in a moment of desperation, I'd be up here defending clear too. But thank God I stood my ground, you know, put my foot down. But did you guys know that even if you have a 401k for retirement, you can still have an IRA. Did you guys know that? I didn't know that. I did.

Okay. 50-50. Robinhood has the only IRA. Hold on. Okay. Okay. Sorry. I didn't know what was going on. But I would love to hear about Robinhood. Robinhood has the only IRA that gives you it. That was so good. You didn't know what was going on, right? Yeah. That was seamless. Yeah. It has the only IRA that gives you a 3% boost on every dollar. I think what they say is the last time this eclipse passed through on this similar path. Okay.

The one we remember from a few years ago? Like 100 years ago. The one that I remember from a few years ago came from the northwest down through the southeast. Oh, it did. So this is making an X. Going the other direction. Marks the spot. And then there was a lot of, they say it was, this is just some people. Right. A lot of earthquakes followed some of the biggest earthquakes our country has ever seen. Eclipses. Yeah, it just happened.

So like that means Nashville should have gotten an earthquake a few years ago. No, no. This particular one. Oh, the one from 100 years ago. Yeah. That came on the path that this next one is about to come on. Gotcha. Okay. So like Cape Girardeau should watch out. I think so. Yeah. Yeah, they should. Maybe the whole country though. I don't think it's saying just where the X comes. Oh, but. There's some kind of fault line around like the Mississippi River. Well, yeah, that's true. So. The New Madrid fault. Yeah. Yeah.

But that's, I mean, they've been warning about that for, you know, a long time. That's how Real Foot Lake was formed. Earthquakes. The New Madrid fault? Madrid. Yeah.

okay i'm just saying yeah we're in the path of that okay well i'll keep an eye out for that i wonder who these people are might want to get your iras in check what you drawing over there i don't know just some guy my daughter's been really dialed in my daughter's been drawing a lot and so i've been getting into it are you getting better

She's getting better. Okay. You're regressing. I draw about the same I've always drawn. Is this a particular person or is this just... That's my AI. That person doesn't exist. I just come up with that person. This guy. This is a terrifying image to have in your head. He's angry. He's got a long beard.

Maybe this guy's coming after the earthquakes. Maybe. Let's say palm trees will be floating in the air. Oh, yeah. Did you see this video? I saw this on TikTok. This is what I did this weekend. Okay. Look at this. If you're listening, there's a palm tree floating in the air. Look at this.

It's just a palm tree branch. Yeah, just a branch. I'm sorry, not a tree. Right in the middle of the hair. It's just floating. It's not attached to wires or anything like that. Now, what do we know about this video? You know, I read online what people were saying. Yeah, what's the go-to explanation of this? What are the mainstream explanations?

I'll be honest with you. I read a lot of comments. Okay. But for some reason, I didn't read any comments on this. I just thought that'll be good for the podcast. Well, it is. Yeah. We'll see. What did people say about it? I mean, a couple of people said, you can hear the drone going in the video. And then people replied, I think, including the guy who shot it said, dude, it's no drone. There's no drone. I don't think there's a drone. I didn't hear a drone. I can hear the wind blowing. What would they say?

a drone's like holding that up. Yeah, I think they implied a drone was holding it up somehow. Drones aren't that strong, dude. Yeah, and I don't think this guy's faking it because he's not even saying anything. He's just saying this is weird looking.

If he were like, this means the end of the world is coming. I think you'd be more on board. Well, yeah, but, but, but, you know. Is there, what's the implication of this? I don't know. It was just a weird looking thing that happened. Like the wind is blowing in such a way. Okay. That this tree has flowed, the wind's holding it up, but yet it's not blowing it in any direction. But are there any claims of, of a supernatural effect?

or is this just like, wow, look how it caught the wind in a weird way? I think it's just like, wow, look how the wind caught this in a weird way. And it must just be the currents that somehow keep it still? The four great winds come together all at once. Is that from the Bible? I think there is a whole thing about the four great winds. It's from the quiz show. I think that's a lie. I mean, that is bizarre. That would freak me out if I saw this. If I was walking down a residential street

And I just saw a palm tree floating in the sky. Yeah. I'd film it. I was thinking about ideas for the podcast, but everything that I was thinking of, I was like, ah, I don't know. This would be too weird for, you know, so. Mm-hmm.

Too conspiratorial, you mean? Yeah, or whatever. And people in the comments get mad and go, hashtag Dump Dusty. They'll be like, remember when the podcast used to be normal before he came on? Now everything's a conspiracy. Well, they may be onto something there, based on some of your comments. Well, I hate to even bring up this one then, but... I want to hear it.

NASA is looking for volunteers for this Mars simulation. Sign me up. And whether you believe going to Mars is real, Dusty, this is real as far as them looking for volunteers. NASA is seeking applicants to persist.

participate in its next simulated one year Mars surface mission to help inform the agency's plans for human exploration of the red planet. It's scheduled to kick off in spring of 2025. They're looking for a four person volunteer crew to live and work inside a 1700 square foot 3d printed habitat on NASA's Johnson space center in Houston. So you got to just hang out with three other people, uh,

And I mean, and then they'll go, oh, they died. They're heroes. Well, how big? I'm not good at square footage. Can you clock square foot? How big is 1700 feet? I can just based on the homes I've lived in. Okay. 1700. I mean, that would be great for me. My first two places I live that I owned were apartments.

Or houses? Well, one was a house and one was a condo. They were both about 750 square feet. Okay. Wow. So that sounds great to me. Now, our current house that my wife owned when we got married is bigger than that. But 1,700 square feet would seem like a mansion to me. I'd sign up just to get some space. Is that like... Literally. But not with four people, though. Well, you're right. Three people. And depending on who you got, and it's 3D printed, it's like we can't just build it.

I don't know. NASA is looking for healthy. I'm out. Motivated. Dusty's out. U.S. citizens are permanent residents who are non-smokers, 30 to 55 years old. I'm out. Proficient in English. We're all done. For effective communication between crewmates and mission control. This is interesting. I'd like to help them find the applicants. I'll only go if they let me smoke. You can't.

You go, look, I'll do the experiments, but I'm trying to live a life. If I go to Mars, I want to have a good time. Yeah. I mean, we make it to Mars. I'm having a cigar. You know what I mean? That's like I watched in my hotel room this week in the movie Armageddon. That's the one with Bruce Willis, right? Yeah. And that's a fun movie. Yeah, it is fun. Steve Buscemi, Liv Tyler. There's a lot of big actors. Yeah. Billy Bob Thornton. Yeah, it's a good one.

They're also looking for a master's degree in a STEM field, such as engineering, mathematics or biological, physical or computer science from an accredited institution. They should have led with that. I know. They sneaked that in. By the way, we want you to be a genius. Well, yeah, I'm healthy and motivated. I know how to use Microsoft Word. Yeah, we're looking for some volunteers. We're not going to pay very much and we hope you're in a lot of debt.

Maybe that's true. I don't know. It seems like if you've got that good education, you're not going to want to be hanging out for a year doing volunteer work. And I'm curious. I was curious what it was going to pay. But look at this line here. Compensation for participating in the mission is available. It's like a lot of gigs. Isn't that nice of them? They pass a hat around. Well, we're going to take up a love offering when it's done. Do a GoFundMe. Yeah.

More information will be provided during the candidate screening process. So they're not letting you know. I feel like if we're a big money figure, that would be part of this article. Yeah. Right. You get 500 grand to live in a Martian bubble for a year. Listen, it's about the science and not the money. We're doing this for exposure. Do you remember very early on in the podcast, we talked about a scientific study where they just wanted a guy to lay down for a year.

I don't remember that. They wanted to examine the effects of not being vertical. And this guy did it. They paid him a ton of money and just laid down on his back for like months. Oh, I would do that for so little. I'm sure we made that joke then. But yeah, I think, I think it was like three months and they paid him 90 grand or something like that. And he just laid on his back.

That's the opposite of this. How is he doing that? We're looking for unhealthy, unmotivated people who've never been to college. But yeah, this guy did it, man. That people off like My 600-lb Life, I mean, they're already doing that. Well, yeah. I think they wanted to see what it would do to a healthy body. Oh, okay. Yeah. I can't remember if it was NASA, but it was some institution. They wanted to see how it would affect the organs over time.

to not be sitting upright. What'd they come up with?

They haven't talked about the results yet. This was just about the guy doing it. I don't remember that. That's interesting. Did you see the base? You followed Major League Baseball. The guy whose regiment was to stand all day. Yeah. Yeah. Let's talk about that. This is the no sit Nolan, the painful stand all day routine that this player endured. How do you say that word? His last name? No. Endured. Endured. Endured. I don't know. Endured. Went through. Endured.

I look, this would be torture. This would be torture for me. I have to sit down. I could go maybe an hour and I'll be like, I'm out. Let's try this as an experiment between us to see how long we can stand. I mean, you stand for an hour when you're doing comedy.

Well, 50 minutes that I have to get off. That's true. And I could walk, which I guess he could do that too. If I'm moving, I can stand longer, but just standing in place. Yeah. I get. So he would say about one o'clock and I don't know what time he got up, but one o'clock in the afternoon, he was in agony. Just standing. He got to sit down to eat. It says here, he says only reprieve was for meals. So this is.

I'd be curious to hear what the science of this is, but there's got to be some kind of health benefit to just standing straight up all day. I just think sitting in general is really bad for us. It's the new smoking, but also maybe standing up all day is bad for you too. Yeah, no one told him to do this. He did this on his own. The knees bend for a reason. I mean, I can think of one more reason he'd probably have to sit. Oh, I don't know. You could do that standing up. Oh, gosh. You're talking about prey?

I was talking about after the meal. Well, you have a standing desk where... I do have a standing desk. And I've been, dude, where I recommend this to anybody, dude. Anybody that has a desk job where they have to do stuff at a computer. And I don't have a desk job, but I like to do stuff on the computer. And I get a standing desk, get a treadmill, dude. I walked 18 miles the other day.

In one day. I got a treadmill. In one day. You walked 18 miles? 18 miles just while editing the clips for the podcast or sending emails. Oh, you got the treadmill at the thing. I got the treadmill at my desk, and I put the Apple Watch on my ankle, and I just go, dude. You walked 18 miles? 18 miles. I have a treadmill, and sometimes I'll do two miles.

Yeah. And that feels pretty good. That's 40 minutes. Right. Well, that's being honest and that's not. That's the difference. I have the data to prove this. Yeah, total since you got the treadmill. No, 18 in a day. Wow. And then I did 10 the next day. So you do...

2.6, I think you said? 2.6. It depends on what I'm doing. If I'm just watching TV or something, I'll put it on 3.2 and really get going. So that's what, about eight hours that would take you to? It was six or seven hours, I think. Could you travel with this treadmill? No, no. Too bad. Yeah, yeah.

It'd be sweet, though. I wish I had some. That's what I want. It should come in hotel rooms. I want to take more stuff with me to the hotel. You should, dude. You used to take a full computer. Yeah. You used to take a hot pot, too. Yeah, that was when I was driving. Yeah, you can't think of that anymore. Now I'm flying. I take a few things. You used to take a desktop, right? Yeah. Like a whole desktop. That's crazy. But like a Mac desktop. All in one thing. Yeah, it was just the monitor, but it was still a lot. Yeah, it's bulky. It's not a laptop.

You can't email that. But at the time, yes. At the time, I didn't have a laptop and couldn't afford a laptop. So it was like I had this great desktop and I'd be in a town for, you know, I'd be there four nights. Right. So now I could watch YouTube. I could send emails. I could do, I could edit videos. I could do stuff on the road. Whereas if I didn't take it, I couldn't. Yeah. It's fun, dude. But get that, dude, if you're finding like, man, I'm sitting down all day.

Try it out, dude. I had a comedian friend of mine, a buddy who I just worked with in Montana. He sent me a message. He's like, I was listening. I just bought one. Walked five miles today that I wouldn't have walked otherwise. Like, dude, hopefully it's going to change a lot of lives, dude. I would spend five hours on one email because I'd be making so many mistakes. I'd just be redoing it. I do want to get a standing vest, though. Get a standing vest, dude. I have a fully Jarvis loaded vest.

standing desk jarvis jarvis is the name is the brand name or fully i think bought jarvis but that's the standing desk loaded it has yeah fully loaded burt kreischer standing desk but it's got a it's not it's not fully loaded it is fully loaded okay yeah okay i guess i guess i haven't said it out loud before but uh they got programmable heights so i just press a button and boom

raises up and then you're good to go. And if you want to sit down, if you want to dial in, you know, you hit another button and it, is there any drawers with it? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. I don't roll like that. But can you get that? Seems like it's not really fully loaded. It doesn't have any drawers. He's got to put his pill somewhere. Yeah.

It's customizable in a few ways. Yeah. I didn't get everything on there, but you know, anyway, just, I just want to recommend that you didn't go to an office, ordered it online. Now, well, I found on Amazon, I had to find a treadmill that had the, uh,

The weight capacity. A lot of these go, hey, this would be great to lose weight. Maximum weight, 220. And you're like, well, those people don't need to lose weight. Yeah, lose some weight to lose more weight. Exactly. I haven't lost enough weight to lose weight yet. That's crazy. But the one I got is like, hey, dude, we'll take anybody. And, dude, I get rolling on that thing. Anyway, just an idea. I'm going to throw that out there to the listeners. All right. All right.

Let's wrap it up. Well, I'm sure this has been a hot podcast. I feel like we did cook for a while. When did we stop cooking? We stopped cooking when I went off about clear. That was a misstep, and I'm sorry about that. No, no, no. That was good. I guess we can do the post-game analysis after the camera stopped. Just a little peek behind the curtain. That's where I think it went off the rails, and I think we brought it back. I think so. Yeah. Thanks, man.

All right. Dusty, I feel like we just have to go this order. This weekend, I'm going to be in Indianapolis at Helium.

I think all my shows are close to selling out. So we've added a show. We've added an early show on Saturday. So I'm doing three shows on Saturday. So if you- Look at that, dude. Sold out, sold out, sold out. They're all close to selling out, I think. Because I was like, they wanted to add the show. And I was like, well, are all the other shows sold out? And they were like, well, they're very close. And I'm like-

I don't know that we should be adding a show if they're not sold out, but they feel pretty confident in it. Okay. So we went ahead and added those. And Indianapolis has always been a hot city for me. I've been going there for years and years and years, and I like Indianapolis. So my show's hot.

I got a new hour and it's, I think it's better than my special. It's a hot hour. And I feel good about it. You got a new bio too, I believe. Well, this is the bio I hate. Matter of fact, I do have a new one now, but this one was written for me. This is tough. And I hate it and I want it to disappear, but they never will.

Once a bio, it's out of date. I don't even know if it has anything about Netflix in there. But like...

You have some stuff you need to take out of this too. Yeah, I know. Youngest comedian to ever perform at the Opry. Yeah. You might have to take that out of your bio. And I did that in 2019 also. So there's just a lot wrong with the bio. I don't think it mentions Netflix at all. Not the half hour or the full hour that I have. It has a list, Comedy Central's Clusterfest, Netflix,

Jimmy Kimmel Live, Last Comic Standing. Nothing about doing The Tonight Show, which I've done four times. Yeah. I think it's three. But... And no Netflix Hour. I don't even know that helium here is... You can take the boy out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the... I'm not even really doing trailer park jokes anymore. I don't even really have trailer park jokes on my Netflix Hour. No, you didn't. Or in my new hour. Right.

And I don't even know that Helium has put anywhere that I have a Netflix hour out here. But it's not hurting ticket sales. It's not hurting ticket sales. You're selling out these shows. But I wish that that bio would go away. People will read it sometimes. If I'm doing a corporate gig, they'll begin to read that. As your intro. Yeah, and I'll go, oh, no, no, no, no.

Yeah. So I'm going to be at the comedy catch in Chattanooga. All right. February 29th. Leap day. Great green room. Yeah. Yeah. We keep talking about that. Best green room. Daniel. Yeah. My green room is pretty much anywhere past three rows in the front because I got some space there.

It is a great club, though. That's so fun. Yeah. I love the club. Yeah. All weekend? No, just February 29th, Leap Day. It's so funny. Wheelchair, accessible. Oh, I guess that just means... Why are the ticket prices the same? But...

What day is the 29th? That is Thursday, leap day. My joke is they let me come once every four years. Oh, yeah. I like that. Then the next day, I'm in Hudsonville, Michigan at Fellowship Church.
