Grammarly. Easier said, done. What's up, everybody? Welcome to the Nate Land podcast. Hello, folks. I am Nate Bargetti, Aaron Weber, Brian Bates. We are back. We did not do last week because we finished up the one night only tour. So thank you to everybody that came out to that.

All the drive-in movie theater dates. It was, I thought it was great. I loved them. Yeah. Yeah. You know, people, you know, they're such a different thing. And to get used to doing them and performing with, you know, people are sitting in their cars and they're kind of farther away. But I got kind of, I mean, I really got used to it. I liked it. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Yeah. It's a...

You know, it's just fun. Like, you can hear the crowd. They're honking for laughs. Everybody did great. Nick, I see Nick's not here, which we miss Nick. Nick was amazing. And so it was, you know, fun hanging. I mean, we had a fun hang. I was, you know, sad when it was over. Yeah, me too. It was definitely different. Did you ever find anything else? Aaron left a jacket. I called and nobody answered, and then I kind of gave up.

But I got that NASCAR jacket, so I feel good about my jacket situation now. You haven't wore the NASCAR jacket yet on the podcast. I'm wearing it at home around the house. I know, but you got to bring it to the podcast. Everybody would like to see it. You're wearing the opposite jacket today. A jacket of a man that doesn't approve his son going to NASCAR is the jacket you have on right now. That's true. You got to come with that NASCAR jacket. That hat and that jacket don't go together.

Notre Dame champs. Yeah. What is that? 2019? ACC. Women's tournament. Oh, really? Oh, women's basketball. Okay. A little false advertising right there. I mean, you know, something. You're grabbing something. I know. And you won the ACC championship?

They made that hat for the, for just the ACC. Yeah. Well, we lost in the championship game last year, 2019. Yeah. Yeah. So they go, well, we got, so they just already had that hat made and then they plot, they've just put underneath it ACC basketball. Yeah. And then, okay. Yeah. Well, congrats. Thanks, man. You know, you guys did great. I appreciate it. You know, it's exciting stuff. It was, uh, I don't try to think of anything we did special on the tour. Uh,

Where did we go? We went to a bunch of places. We filmed a lot of stuff. We golfed a lot. Filmed a ton. Had some great stuff. Nick's going to be... The idea is, I was hoping to... Because we were filming all this stuff. You know, I've started filming stuff on the road. And we post on my YouTube channel, The Road Life with Nate. And Mike Lavin, our The Homeless Pimp. You can go follow him on social media. We had all this stuff. So we're trying to see if we can put together...

Some kind of doc or something, documentary. No. We're just trying to figure it out. We don't even know. Me and Mike are just talking about it. I'm like, I don't know. I've never done one. And so he's done something. He's filmed a lot of cool stuff. There's a lot of stuff. There's a lot of stuff. And I think we can do it. We went golfing, filmed the whole day of golfing.

And that was fun. And Nick was out there on the card. And I mean, that's going to be Nick's going to be the star of this documentary. Nick's the star of everything. He's so good. It was fun. And then so we went from Houston and we all you guys went back home. And then I went and we taped a special. It is taped. I was I was I wanted it to be taped. I was so worried that something was going to pop. You know, something's going to happen and we're not going to get to tape it.

And we ended up shooting the special for Netflix, did two shows. It was, it ended up, I believe, being really good. It's going to be very interesting to see the cut. Could have some different stuff in it. Some stuff I wasn't expecting to happen happened because it was outside. Yeah. And they had a hundred people, you know, the audience had masks, which was definitely tough. You know, I got used to the timing of,

you know, talking outside and the laughs being kind of delayed or not hearing them great. But when the audience wear a mask, you realize that's, that's tough because you can't see it's, it's hard to hear them. And then you can't see their face. So you kind of start talking a lot quicker. Um,

And you can't tell if like, do these people hate this? Cause there's no reaction. Even if I couldn't hear laughs, you could, you could see movement at the trucks or, you know, in the cars, you could see some kind of sign of enjoyment and the special, it was, it was tough, but we, uh, it ended up being good. Everybody that was, that did, it was awesome. And, uh, yeah, it'll be interesting to see. Well, I heard it went amazing, man. So I'm excited to see it. Yeah. I'm excited. Mike. Yeah.

yeah i want to text nate the day is recourse i was texting mike i said send me some updates let me know how it's going he said it went great yeah it went great it was definitely very different uh there's some stuff you know i i should see a uh a cut of it this week so i'm very curious to see we had some stuff happen that i'll be you know i don't want to say in case it doesn't if it doesn't get in i'll tell you but

It was being outside. We had some distractions, and I'm hoping that it plays into it. I think, you know, I don't know. I think it can, and, you know, it's going to be very interesting. Hoping it comes out. I don't know when it's going to come out. I know I'll get asked a lot, but, you know, we're hoping beginning of next year it comes out sometime. So, obviously, you guys will know here in Dayland whenever we do it.

But yeah, it was a good time. Good little tour. I have two more dates. Two more dates. San Diego and Anaheim. If you guys want to come out to the drive-in theater, we're doing two shows up there. Nick will be with me there and Dustin Nickerson will be with me. He's a San Diego boy. Yeah. And Anaheim. So we'll be come out to those shows. Those will be fun.

I'll be officially. And everybody that did come out. I mean, it truly was a big help for everybody to come to these shows. For that special, because I needed to get prepared for it. And so everybody that came, the audience that came, it was huge. So, yeah. All right. Well, let's get into some. We got a lot of comments. We'll read some from the Bigfoot episode, which we didn't have any. So this is going to be a big comment episode. First up, Amateur Lurker.

This is a great podcast if you're looking for entertainment that has nothing to do with the polarizing politics or controversial current events. I thoroughly enjoy Nate Aaron and Breadbasket rifting on random subjects each week. They are by no means experts on anything, which is why I appreciate the banter. Podcast hosts often talk with a level of conviction, convention, conviction. That is off-putting. But not these guys. Not even when you get...

Stemped with the word that he's like, here's the big word. Proving their point. I thought off-putting would be the problem. No. Conviction was the problem. Turns out conviction was the problem. Yes, that is. This is a big week, too. Your birthday is in two days, right? The 3rd? Well, it'll be the day before. My birthday's tomorrow. Yeah. And then this comes out on the 4th. Yeah, your birthday, yeah, the 3rd. Yes. Yeah, and this will be out the 4th.

So, oh, bread baskets. Happy birthday. Got a little birthday coming up. Just to assume you guys got me something. I did. I got you this podcast. I... They... That's funny. Yeah, it's pretty good. Aaron approves. Yeah, we will have an election, which we're not going to talk about that.

Well, it hasn't happened yet. It hasn't happened yet. It'll be happening tomorrow. I'm trying to do a joke about it. I was debating if I was going to do it on this podcast or save it for on stage. I like to keep stuff to save it for the stand-up. I don't know. It's about the idea of celebrities telling people to vote. I don't want to do too much. But it's just so funny. I mean, that's what we're not going to be. That infuriates me. Just celebrities that are like, hey, everybody, go vote. Make sure you vote. I'm sure you...

You somehow figured out how to log into Instagram, but maybe you don't know how to vote. Like that's the, like that's how stupid these people are. You figured out a password for Facebook, but maybe you forgot voting. I don't know if you've heard, but there's a president. It's like the boss of the country and people vote. Do you know? And people are at home like, what, what is that? That's what I think. How stupid do you, there are people, the audacity to talk to an audience, uh,

is insane to me. Yeah. Pure insanity to me. It makes me want to not vote, to be honest with you. I mean, it infuriates me. I will never... I mean, I hope, but I don't ever plan on telling someone to vote. I just can't imagine my high school education is the thing that you need to hear from. I just don't think that...

You know, I'm the one that's going to be like, hey, everybody, I know you somehow have a Netflix account and you figured that out, but you can't figure out voting. Stay in line if they come push you out of the line. Just telling them all these long things. They're going to stop you. They're going to, you know, make sure you get out there and vote. It's these people are the worst, the worst ally. I mean, I.

I think about it all the time. I think about how angry I get at just celebrities telling people that are smarter, their audience that is smarter than them. Their audience is way smarter than them. We go watch your dumb movie and then you go, Hey, I never thought about that. You know? Yeah. You know, you figured out how to go to the movies. You're, you know, online, you bought a ticket. I love Jennifer Aniston. I love her, but yeah, I mean, going Instagram going, Hey everybody,

You might not know, but there's an election coming up. Yeah, I've heard about it. Yeah, I've found you. You're kind of a popular thing. So if I found you, I would imagine I could find out that there's an election going on. And no one's just sitting at home going, is that today? I mean, it's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. That's the joke. I'm already ruining it. That's the idea of it. That's like reminding people to eat.

That's like if you made an announcement going, hey, everybody, did you eat food today? And they're like, what? What is food? Well, I'm a celebrity, and I know that you should eat. Remember to get out there and eat. Remember to get out there and eat. Does your stomach feel weird? That's because you haven't eaten, and you've got to do it. Today's the day. Every day, actually, you need to eat. It's unreal, dude. It's the most talk. You talk down to just every person alive.

that just sits there. If you found this podcast, I would imagine you've heard about voting. If you found anybody that just is not in your house, like if you're living in a house and your dad goes vote and you're like, I didn't know to vote, but I've been locked in the basement for 18 years. That person should hear about voting. If you know who Brad Pitt is, I imagine you've heard about voting. Just the, just if you flat out,

Or like, I've seen one of the Avenger movies, then I'm sure you've stumbled upon something about voting. Yeah, the idea of an election. The idea that we do vote. Right. Is that crazy? No, I'm with you, 100%. No, you like it, though. You like that they say it, right? No. I don't care one way or the other. I think it's insulting. I think it's wild.

I was going to save it all. I think it's crazy that somebody would not want to vote and then Jeremy Renner tells them to. And they go, oh, okay. Explain, Jeremy Renner, how do you do it, though? It is, it's, all right, you ready for this? You ready for this? Do you have a driver's license? They're like, I don't know. An ID? You have anything? You have a wallet? He's like, I don't know. I carry my stuff in a plastic bag. Okay.

That's fine. In that plastic bag, do you have a thing with your picture of your face on it by any chance? Yeah. Well, go show that. And then there's buttons and you press the button of the person that you want to be president. And you press that button and it works. And that's what's got to happen.

Have you seen those mailboxes? You write it in. You got to write it in. Yeah. And then you write in the person that's running for the boss of the country. They're going to be the boss. The boss of the country. And so we're all going to go decide, hey, who gets to be that boss? And someone at home is like, I mean, I get a choice? Yeah. You get a choice. None of you went to school. How are you doing? I've made millions of dollars, and I'm smarter and more famous than you.

That's what they're saying to everybody. I did quite well for myself. I was famous in the 90s, and you're probably stupid. So get out there and vote. I hope people don't vote because of it. That's what I mean. I could care less. Vote or don't vote. Do whatever you want to go do. You're a grown-up. You're smarter than every dumb celebrity on earth. They're all stupid. Go vote, guys. December 90th.

Hey, whatever the date is. When is it? Ours is coming after the election. That's what I'm talking about. We tell you to vote the day after. Oh, was it yesterday? I didn't. Dadgummit. I took my Jen Aniston notifications off and I must have missed it. That's what I think. It would be like if you went to a movie and you watched a movie with Captain America. Yeah.

And then you only see stuff that he says. And then he goes, hey, do you know if voting's tomorrow? You're like, no, I was waiting for you to tell. I only listen to you. Is the weather going to be nice? Thank God you reminded me. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. I didn't know that. I only watch your movies all day long. And I just follow you. So it's tomorrow. And I get a say in it. I get to push a button. It's going to be hard. It's hard to figure out.

Where to go? All right. Sorry. There's the joke. I'll tighten it up for the stage. It makes me, I don't, I didn't know when to like, would that joke work after the election? I mean, I think, I don't know. I think you can make it work whenever. And I think by the time I would ever shoot another special, we'd be back to another election. Yeah.

So I bet it can always come back around, and I'm sure I'll have more stuff. It drives me nuts, dude. The nerve. You got one more day of it. One more day of, and they're going hard now. I mean, just, I think your goal is to get famous enough to be like, I got to tell people to vote. And I love people, I love the not famous people doing it. The ones that, like, we have friends that are just, you're like, nobody cares. No one listens to your art that you do good at.

Much less, hey, let me talk to... Dude, they're talking to random states. There's people that... Celebrities in California are going, hey, Georgia. Come on, Ohio. What are you, crazy? Can't sell out a bar in Georgia. Hey, Pennsylvania. All my Pennsylvania fans, you probably haven't heard about an election. Like...

That's like being like people just going like, I'm tired of fracking. I have no idea what fracking is. I have no clue. And you just hear people going, we can't have it. And you're like, do we need it? Maybe we need all of it. Or maybe we need none of it. All right.

Nicholas Jones, sorry, you got to get the brunt of this, Nicholas. Nicholas is like, I don't want to be tied into this. As someone who gets significant anxiety, especially on current events, that's so funny. Nicholas is, I mean, just freaking out right now. He's like, ah, this was my safe. But the point of this is we're still not talking about anything. We're making fun of them talking about this.

Which I think anybody that hates it would like this. Yes. I don't think anybody's going to be like, guys, don't talk about Paul. I'm saying you're right. No one should. You should listen to your aunt.

Nicholas Jones, someone who gets significant anxiety, especially on current events. It's awesome to have such a funny podcast to listen to that helps me block out the outside world for a short time. I literally listen to it every night to help me fall asleep. I also appreciate you giving a platform to lesser known comics like Aaron and Nick and completely unknown names like Bosco. I like Nicholas. Yeah. I mean, he's not sleeping tonight. No.

Nicholas, welcome back up, buddy. I'm sorry. I'm having nightmares. Yeah, Nicholas is pacing the room. Betty Boop, are we fans of the podcast officially called Folks or Nate Landers? Please share ideas so Biscotti can get a list going. Are fans of the, oh, they call it Folks or Nate Landers. I like both of those. Folks or Nate Landers. I saw somebody comment Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. That's good. Pretty good. That's pretty good. Breakfast Club's good.

Ooh, ooh. We can take a vote. Warriors? Can we do a vote? Warriors? The Warriors are good. You want to just call the podcast your podcast? Those are the people submitting the ideas. I would say we should do a vote. We could do a vote. Folks, Nate Landers, we're all equal. I always feel weird kind of sometimes saying it. Yeah. Because you're like, you guys are doing just as good as I'm doing in life. But remember to vote.

folks in Atlanta, we should do a vote. We should do a vote. Hey, everybody. You feel weird? You get out there and that's our election. It's going, hey, you might not have heard. How you doing? Neighbor gets a year. What? You feel weird saying what? I always feel weird about saying fans. You do say fans. I just, it always just, and again, I think it's come into the people just going, talking to their fans, I think is kind of disgusting.

I think it's gross to be, it's like, I'm trying to be an entertainer. I hope that I can, I want you to be a fan of me. I want you to like what I do, but I don't, I'm not above you. I'm just like, here's my thing that I create. That's funny that I try to just be your, your awayness from all the nonsense. I'm not going to talk to you like I'm your, the Lord of, you know, and that's how people that's. And I think that's what it comes off to me as.

It's people going, let me tell my, I got to, you know, you got a platform. Go tell your fans to do what you think is right. Like, I think that's crazy. I mean, you hope to have a lot of fans. But I do see it. I do like the idea of folks, Nate Landry, because we would all be one. We would be a folk. That's right. Or Nate Landry, or part of the Breakfast Club. We'd be in it too. Alex Irvin brought my 65-year-old mother to the show in Houston. And when Baba O'Reilly left the stage and said, I love breakfast.

And this, of course, raised an immediate question, which I was happy to answer yesterday. She and I were driving somewhere and talking about the show. She said, yeah, I like Billy Bob. I just gave an approving nod with a golf clap. Very proud. She gets it. She gets it. She gets it. My mom is 65. Me and Alex might be the same age. Yeah. Yeah.

People would yell that a lot during the shows. I heard people yell out breakfast. Yeah. They're getting into it. A lot of B stuff. Yeah. Some stuff we can't say on the podcast. Lauren C. To the brave soul who wrote in about his breakup, I also just got dumped and I'll be at Nate's show in Nashville in December. If you'd like to grab a bite in Nate's favorite restaurant, the concession stand before.

Just throwing it out there. Ooh, might get a little love match. Harrison. Harrison Kesey, I think, was his name. Harrison Kesey. Harrison and Lauren. Maybe you guys get together. To be honest with you, there's a great chance that show's not happening in December. So maybe have to keep rolling it forward. All my shows are... They still...

Look, these places have to open up and that's the problem. So if you have these dates, I will reschedule these dates so you can obviously just hang on to these tickets. And then they are just whenever it comes back around, it's just going to be at a later date. I get asked that a lot. I have no control over this. I had some people, some guy did in the Netflix special. He emailed like my website or something and said, yo, Nate, what's up with all the hoops for the special?

And you're like, I mean, do you have you worry? Maybe that guy definitely doesn't know about voting because you're like, I don't know if that guy you're like, what are you talking about? And he's like, what's the a test? Like, you're like, yeah, dude, it's cool. I mean, the whole world shut down. Like you're setting California policy. Yeah. You're like, I don't know. You're like, I know, man, but I'm just trying to be safe. And I want I want to make sure you want it. How much do you want it?

Jessica Van De Peute. There's a chance I said that right. No? You don't think so? I love the way you said it. Van De Peute. Hello, folks. I'm a couple episodes behind, but this is in response to Harrison's comment, shooting my shot on Naylin Harrison. I'm that single 29-year-old woman ready for some popcorn at the drive-in. Harrison, you got too much going on. I mean, Harrison. You got to slow down now, man. I mean, Harrison, I mean, good night. This podcast has changed his life.

He got Jessica and Lauren. I mean, I don't, you know, it's getting out of control. Harrison living it up, living his best life. I mean, I don't, he might not, you know, he's got a lot. He's like, I just got a lot to think about. He's just paused the podcast and just clicked on both of it. He's now, he's now going through the comments, trying to find out where were they, where were their comments at? I mean, and they, as they are doing the same, they might've already done it. Yeah. So they probably already did it. And so that's why they're like, why Harrison was a,

Good looking fella. And so then they, they already looked him up. I would bet. Yeah, I would bet. And now Harrison has paused us and he's typing in, uh, he's like, what, uh, Lauren C and Jessica Van did put Harrison. I figured he's already right there. He just goes, what was their name again? Lauren C.

Jessica Van De Poot. He's on Facebook right now. He's like, thanks, man. Typed in Lauren C. Got a lot of them. A lot of scrolling. All right. Coco Hubert. Love the podcast. Suggestion for Nate. If people can't be nice in comments, don't read them. Completely understand why Aaron would get offended at the comment by someone named White Bread.

This podcast should be fun, not demeaning or insulting. Thank you, Coco. We try not to be, we try not to like, you know, a lot of times we talked about that earlier on. People do, you comment on the mean comments. Those are usually the ones that are going to, you're going to have a conversation with. But I think we've done, I mean, you guys have done great with comments and the fact that

They're funny, and actually there's something to them. We have a lot of them. Most of them you couldn't if they're just, hey, this podcast is great. No one's going to want to hear us read 15 of those. But these are legit long podcasts. People enjoy hearing what they're going to say. So they've done a very good job, and I agree. I agree to the white bread, though. I don't remember what white bread said, but...

I remember they had a big, long, nice comment at the very end. They were like, oh, and Brian's not funny or something. Oh, it was about you or Aaron. I thought White Bread was the one that called you out on your ridiculous math skills. Yeah. White Bread gets it. Sorry, Coco. White Bread is... Welcome. White Bread's sitting in this week. He's our fact checker. Jeremy Powell, you know how when you kind of... Hold on. Let's start over. This is like a trip to the starting line.

You know how when you're kind of good looking and you hang out with ugly people, it makes you more attractive? The same goes when you're funny and hang out with unfunny people. It makes you look hilarious. Somehow Nate assembled a crew that compliments him on both fronts. Oh, right into the mean comment. You just agreed with Coco and then... You picked the comments. Do you agree? Do you like that? I mean, I think Jeremy gets it. I would have read it out loud, but I don't know. Jeremy's inside my brain somehow. I mean...

Me and Jeremy could have said that we would sit there. He sounds like my agent. That's telling me. And I'm like, yeah, man, he goes, you're doing Santa. Yeah. Later tater nater. Just love it. How blueberry breakfast always says the County of where the town is in before he says the town's name. That's how older people talk. You say you're from this small town and older people just hit you with the County name. Like it's a game show question. That is a very funny. I love like that Wilson County, uh,

You know, there's, I went to, you know, Davidson County the other day. Dixon. I was in Dixon. Like, Dixon's always been described as Dixon to me in Nashville. I don't think I've ever really known where it's at either. I kind of do. What do you mean? Where Dixon is in Nashville. Dixon's a city, right? Yeah. Yeah. But isn't it Dixon County too? Yeah. But it's, I don't ever know where it's at. People always go, I went to Dixon today. And I'm like, all right. I want to say it's west. It is. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, I think I could get there, but it's just, I never went to Dixon a ton, but Dixon's the most I get told someone's going to Dixon. And then I always just go, okay. Almost any town in Tennessee, I could tell you what county it's in. Memphis? Shelby? Knox? Knox. Because of your local news? Sure. Bristol. Yeah. Bristol. Bristol.

Uh, that's, uh, let's see. Johnson city is up in Washington County, Bristol, maybe Hamlin County. Yeah. Yeah. I hit a new low on this podcast. Uh, just hit it. I mean, yikes. Talking about jumping the shark. I mean, what? I mean, good night folks. Uh, that was a fun game. I mean, Nicholas Jones just fell back asleep. He goes, thanks guys.

For naming the counties of cities that I've never heard of. I appreciate that. We had about eight old women that listened to this that perked up. Oh, all right. Finally getting some topical stuff going. He knows where Dixon is now. I mean, it's, yeah, that was like, I feel like in Kramer, the Merv Griffin set. He goes, what about a co-host? I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

Candace Dot. Hello, folks. Just want to say I learned something new every time I listen to you guys. For instance, this episode, Urban Legends. I learned that I shouldn't have listened to this when I was grocery shopping alone at night. I was so paranoid while walking to my car and putting my groceries away. And yes, I checked my van for serial killers and had Journey ready to play for my drive home. P.S. If Nate reads this, he is bound to say my last name incorrectly. It's pronounced Dote.

Candice Dote. Really? Dote. Maybe she's wrong. Candice, I'd look into that a little more. Candice Dote. Okay.

I like how she put that at the end. See, that's what I'm talking about, these good comments. They're good. They do it, and then there's a little surprise at the end. Jason Gott, when Nate said he thought Mr. Rogers was too quiet for the military, it reminded me that Bob Ross actually was a drill instructor, and then he decided to be a painter. He also decided he would never scream and yell like that again and just became super mellow. I like that. I didn't know that. Well, I don't know if that's true.

Wow. I wonder if that's true. I think it's true. I don't know. He was a drill instructor. He was? So it is true. You can see a little bit of it when he...

washes off his paintbrush and just a little, he's seen, he goes, just beat the devil out of it. And he smacks it really. Oh, really? A little bit in his eyes. I think that's where he gets it. He still wants it. He still wants to do it. Right. What if his, uh, family at home was just horrified with him? I mean, we just only saw this. We're like, God, I bet super mellow. And then his wife and kids were like, I mean, it was every day was a war.

Every day we woke up to war. And he's just all day long and then he's just calm. Dario Stolik, love the pod, love the whole crew, especially Bookshelf. I just wanted to give my two cents on Nate saying that no one ever sees a ghost in like full human shape and form. When I was young,

11 to 12 years old, I woke up early one Saturday morning, was making my way downstairs into the kitchen as usual to make myself breakfast. But to my surprise, there was a man in the kitchen wearing a full white suit, looking sharp, almost as if he was going to a wedding or something formal. I kind of just nodded and smiled at him because I was the shy kid and went downstairs where I heard my mom cleaning and asked her who the man in the kitchen was. To say the least, she was very confused and in shock.

As she proceeded to tell me, we were home alone and there was no way someone else was in the house. So in my case, I did, in fact, see someone just as clear as I see any real person. And it confirmed it to me. My mom looked around the house. Sure enough, no one was there. Wow. Dario stole it. Dario. That's pretty good. That's a pretty good one, man. That's one you're not going to convince that guy out of it. No. No.

That guy, he's like, I saw it. He saw what he saw. He saw what he saw. Man in a white suit. I believe him. His mom's still like, oh, you know. His mom was like, it's like someone else. It was a boyfriend. I was going to say her mom. Yeah, her mom. And she goes, no, it was a ghost. And that's how dumb. This story shows you how dumb kids are.

What if that's what it was? The mom's like, I can't believe I got away with that. I mean, I'm just so lucky. I go, what was that, man? What? That would be the way to play it with a kid. No one's here. And then just that guy runs out. And then they still laugh at it to this day. Or it was a ghost. Holly Stone. It's a good name. Holly Stone. I like that name. Stone's a strong name.

That's what I'm going to name Holly. I'm going to give Holly the dog. She's going to be a stone now. To answer the question, does one feel or sense their own baby in the hospital? When my second child was born, we were sharing a room with someone and their new baby. I briefly grabbed that stranger's baby and did not know the difference for at least a minute and only realized it due to the name tag. I still cringe about it from time to time. I could see that.

But I mean, you just can't know. But I do. I would get the feeling of just it would I would be like that. It would just I would think about it all the time. It would never get out of my head. And just because you accidentally you got to just think of it as funny. I think that helps. So the office that happened where payment gym. She actually. Oh, yeah. She actually breast. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I think it's got to look at it. And I think the way to get out of it is like, you got to tell it as a funny story. And then that's what makes your brain go like, yeah, it was funny. Like, obviously no one can tell. I mean, babies are babies.

Brooke Hubs, I worked in a movie theater. The popcorn is popped with a small amount of dried butter combined with oil, which gives it the yellow color and the option to add liquid butter is asked of the customer. Same for microwave popcorn. That's why you see the butter residue on the inside of the bag. If you get unflavored, unseasoned popcorn, then yeah, it's white. So that was you. You said popcorn was white, right?

Yeah, I said the yellowness was because of butter, and I got attacked for it. We got so many comments about this. Popcorn. So many, and people kind of gave different explanations. I went with this one because it seemed kind of simple. It was the most logical. We talked to an expert. He worked at a movie theater. That's the type of... A lot of people wrote in, like, I have professional experience with popcorn, and I'll tell you why it's yellow. Oh, really? And the consensus seems to be

The oil adds a lot of it. But a butter will make it more yellow. Yeah. Chris, love the podcast, but you're wrong about gangbangers and flashing headlights being an urban legend. I grew up in the country in Washington State, and there were lots of drugs in my town growing up. And the gangs that came into town were doing the headlight drive-bys. I was once chased and shot at twice in a buddy I went to school with, took three shots, all because we flashed our headlights.

Chris, I'd like to hear more to that story, to be honest, buddy. I want a little bit more. I'm sure something... He's like, well, we screamed at them. You're like, okay. Yeah. Washington State, sneaky with the drug problem there. Like, you don't think about it, but they have some real big problems. Yeah. A lot of Bigfoots are on drugs. Yeah. That's where they're at. All right. That is crazy, though. I mean, if that's true, I mean, golly, you imagine that just...

You truly, like, don't flash your headlights. Why would they move to Washington State to do drugs? You know? What's up there? I think they're probably from there. I don't think they go, I want to get into drugs. Where should I go? Oh, a lot of drugs. Well, I think it's, you know, you don't think people move for drugs? You don't think people move into town? I heard there's good drugs here. I think small towns across America just have drugs. Maybe I'm wrong. A lot of counties. Maybe I'm wrong.

Justin Barcelos. I'm pretty sure the swallowing spiders bugs in your sleep is an urban legend. I always believed it myself, but Google says it's fake. Whatever you have to tell yourself to sleep at night. Yeah. You never, what? Never five feet from a spider. I think every time I've said it, the number changed, but yeah, six feet. There's a spider on you right now. Look behind you. Uh,

Ryan Dance, I love how concerned Bathtub was about the cardio conditioning of the Jasons at the end of the haunted tours and making sure they got enough time to rest up in between scaring small children out of their tiny little baby minds. Truly, a kind soul this world doesn't deserve. Love the podcast, guys. You know, we talked about that haunted house tour, too. We looked that up after we got done. The one in Nashville, that's the scariest one. And that guy's just crazy. So...

Yeah, it doesn't look real fun at all. It's a torture. Yeah, after we said that, I was like, if anybody goes to it, let us know. But no one's ever made it through, but I don't think anybody can. Yeah. Because he's giving $100,000 to make it through. He's not letting you go through. I mean, he's burying you alive. You would have to be willing to basically trust that this guy is going to not kill you. That's what you would have to be. He's going to push you enough.

And you're going to have to go, well, he can't kill me, but you also have to be fine with him killing you. And truthfully killing you. Like, not a joke, not fun. I mean, he's burying people and... And kind of taking a weird pleasure out of it the whole time. Yeah. Really a real-life villain, this guy. Yeah, Sproggie's not more level-headed. You know? It's not...

All right, let's do some of these from the Bigfoot, then we'll get started. Dallas Gambriel, I like how other podcasts bring in experts. We're talking about space today, so our guest is a theoretical physicist. Yep. Yeah. Nate Land says, we're talking Bigfoot, so our guest today is a guy who used to work with my sister. That's what I'm talking about. That's what...

That should be in the log line of the show. I was just going to say, that sums up the philosophy of the show pretty well. What are you guys doing? We're talking Bigfoot. So today our guest is a guy who used to work with my sister. That's who we want to talk to.

Jeff Stapleton, Aaron took both Nate's place as the star of the show and Briggs Lee worry face, especially on video. Aaron seems to consistently struggle to contain his reactions and comments to just about everything Kevin said. Watching him react was absolutely my favorite part of the episode. There was nothing better than when we finally see him break with Nate's civilian stations comment.

People like the civilian stations, right? That was a great moment. And every now and then I'll still think about it and I'll still laugh. It really got me, man. I did it on purpose as a comedy. That's what I'm going to stick to. Well, I did that on purpose because I'm a comedian, a professional comedian.

And when Nate says civilian stations, I was in the carpool to pick my kids up from their new school. I was supposed to say their names so they could call them out. I could not speak and was ugly crying with no sound coming out. The carpool lady was not amused. They will be taking the bus starting Monday. Thanks, Nate. Totally worth it. Oh, got them out of picking up the kids. That was Garrison. Oh, Garrison. Garrison Richard.

Out of the civilian station, which is a school. Would be a school. Wouldn't you say? A civilian station? I tell, that's what a school is. Jason Lohorn. Sounds like a guy that goes looking for Bigfoot. If we said we're talking to Jason Lohorn today, he's the expert on Bigfoot, you would be like, okay. You go, all right. He's got some fossils. Yeah, I'd love to hear Jason. I think Bigfoot and aliens could be a demoniphenom.

Right? Phenomenon. Oh, phenomenon. Demonic phenomenon. That word just kind of keeps on going, don't it? Like, I mean, it's just, it's like you kind of go, then the word goes a little bit more. No, almost there. Oh, phenomenon. And they go perfect.

Where they do have the ability to cloak themselves or move in between dimensions and disappear. As a pastor, I believe this is spiritual activity that the enemy uses to deceive us or it's used to attack the biblical account of creation. By the way, I do think people are seeing something for sure. Yeah, they're seeing something. Too many people. Too many people see it. I've heard that about aliens. Yeah. They're demons. Yeah. Just kind of briefly say that.

I like that there's just a kind of... Oh, yeah, aliens are supposed to be demons, too. Okay. Corey Impey. I like to just brush off. Literally just found out there's more than one Bigfoot. Oh, wow. Cora. Y'all both believe that, right? A lot of people said that. Yeah. You ridiculed us, but people backed us up. I guess I just don't ever remember my first day of learning. Y'all remember your first day. I feel like y'all go... I was...

Eight years old. It was a Sunday evening and someone brought up Bigfoot to me. I just don't remember. Well, Bigfoot is... The foot is singular. If it were Bigfeet, then I know that were multiple. But you're talking about one of a group, you know? What would tip that off, though? I just don't know. I don't know how I learned about Bigfoot. I don't remember. So I just...

I mean, they're all over the country. There's Bigfoot sightings all over the country. I don't think Bigfoot... I wouldn't believe in Bigfoot if there was one and all these sightings were all over. I wouldn't believe then because he could... Was he flying everywhere? No. Well, I believed in one Santa and there's a Santa in every mall in America. Yeah. Yeah. Could be kids listening to this podcast too. I still believe in him. Oh, man. We're going to bleep that out. How does that feel? To just ruin everything for everybody? Okay.

You know, I mean, we're supposed to be a clean podcast and then you come out here and just. I feel real bad. I don't think there's an. Hey, look, my daughter, her age ain't making it this far into the comments. She checked out a while ago, to be honest. Holly might be gone. David Campbell. I've enjoyed every podcast, but this one, I'm guessing Bobcat picked this topic. This topic.

You'd be wrong, David. It's me. I love Bigfoot. I picked it. I think I said I picked it. I feel like anyone listening should be able to tell that. Yeah, I like that stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I liked it. I thought it was kind of fun. Talked about a lot of different stuff. The point of it is that I can't talk about the same thing every time. I'd rather... I think we have a better chance of being funny when we talk about crazier stuff. We got civilian stations out of it. You ain't getting that when you're talking about voting...

Vote at your civilian station today. Is that where you would vote? Jay Durant. Maybe Kevin Durant's brother? Possible. There is a rumor that this might be the best Nate Land episode so far. Such a great episode. Especially when Aaron lost it at the end. Fantastic show, gents. Much love from Austin. Nice. Thank you.

Yeah, there's a lot of comments. But again, we don't have... It's two weeks worth. Yes, two weeks worth of comments and we don't have much... This topic might not be good this week. That's correct. Yeah. Since we are back at it,

You know, we got to get back in the groove of it. I think we will. You know, I think this is about a fun one. This is another one that's not much. It's about a big... What is it? Another Bigfoot episode. I'm going to... Every three weeks, we do a Bigfoot episode until we eventually get everybody out. And we're down to 80 people that love this podcast. I mean, like that just, you know...

I thought I saw somewhere, maybe Reddit, they said that we talk about a Bigfoot, but didn't have an expert. But someone said they liked it. They were like, I think it's good. Because all Bigfoot people, they listen to the same experts over and over. Oh, yeah. So I think they just want to hear. You know, it'd be like being a Vandy fan. When ESPN talks about Vandy forever, I'm going to listen more than the average person. So Bigfoot doesn't get...

I'm not, we're not, you know, we're not saying we're ESPN, but you don't ever hear. Right. Just, you know. I personally thought Kevin knew enough that I would consider him an expert. I think he was just hesitant to use that description for himself. Yeah. The dog man is what Kevin wants to know about.

So he thinks if there's anybody that knows about this dog man, have any, Kevin is, he's, I think he is like, we're going to get some dog man comments. Yeah. And he wants to go down that, that trail. Is that what you would say? That path. He wants to dive into trying to be more of a dog man guy. So if you got any dog man stuff, feel free to comment. Mm-hmm.

You and Kevin, we're guys that connect you. My sister will connect you guys, and then you guys can... We'll do a Dogman episode. We'll do a full Dogman episode if you guys find Dogman. All right, so this week we're going to talk about laws. I guess kind of is election time, so we talk about the laws. How are laws made? I don't know. I'm just a bill. But they're just there. Yeah, that song, I'm a bill, and they get stuff up. I learn about the government every day. I learn something.

I like when they explain. I do. I make fun of them telling people how to vote. I do like when it gets explained to me real dumb. I'll be like, what is this guy? He thinks we're all idiots. I record it, secretly record it and watch it later alone. What is it? You think we're stupid? Press record. I record. I just, I want to show people how dumb it is. And then I just sit there and watch the cartoon. So one of the first laws we can talk about

I mean, we're not going to talk about the basic laws, but one that I just, just to get us into it, is the McDonald's, the hot coffee lawsuit. That was the big law thing. They did a Seinfeld episode about it. And there's a great documentary about that, where you find out it's actually what they did was wrong.

What McDonald's did was wrong. The coffee was too hot. It was an elderly lady. Almost killed her because she just had the burns were so much. They got in trouble for making coffee too hot. Did you know all this? Mm-hmm. Oh. So everybody's watched this documentary? I haven't seen the documentary. I haven't seen the documentary, no. Oh. Uh-uh. You knew that it was real, though? I remember. We talked about it in a class one time. We pulled up pictures of what the burns on this woman. Mock trial? Yeah.

No, I wasn't in mock trial. Really? It was just a different class? Why didn't they talk about it in mock trial? Wouldn't that be the main place to talk about it? I was a business school in college. Wait, this was in college? Yeah. I just didn't have college. Business school. I mean, dude, we talked about math. I did math problems, like regular math problems at Ball State Community College.

I did speech. Did you have speech in college? No one took speech? I didn't have speech, man. No one? Did you take speech? Yeah. In college? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I talked about Vanderbilt. I showed the highlight film of Vanderbilt's 95, 96 season. We went five and six. Or 96, 97 season, I guess. We went five and six. I think it was just the 96 season. Yeah. Yeah.

We didn't go to any bowlers. We lost to LSU. It was the one where we barely lost to LSU that started the down. And I got an A-plus on it. That's the only A-plus I got was in that speech class. Because they could sense your passion. They could see that I loved it. I remember not. I mean, I say this in my act. I don't remember school. I would not.

So you learn stuff in school. Well, I just remember that I had heard that McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit. I had heard that always used as an example of frivolous lawsuits. Yeah. Of like, can you believe how crazy these people are trying to get money from McDonald's? Yeah. And then it's crazy that if you actually look at what happened, this woman was wronged by them. Yeah. They got in trouble for making that coffee too hot. They were doing it over and over again and had a lot of complaints about it. And they kept doing it.

And in the top two, I mean, Seinfeld episode is exactly it. It's not supposed to be not that hot. And the woman was very elderly and it burned her and almost killed her. It was that severe of burns. I always found that very interesting that, yeah, that's one of those cases that you end up going like, no, no, no, no, no.

Yeah, because it is. It sounds like a crazy one. And then you're like, no. I remember growing up and you see the label on the coffee cups. And you're like, can you believe this is so crazy that we have to write this? Yeah, coffee's hot. I mean, that woman, her life changed. Her life changed, yeah. I think most people probably still think, if they know that story, they think, can you remember that ridiculous lawsuit where someone sued over hot coffee? Yeah, I'd be curious to see how many people thought

If you're listening and you can leave, just how many people still don't know that it was very serious and that it was actually the woman who was wrong? You know, it'd be like that Duke lacrosse. Like, that's always brought up. The Duke lacrosse case is always something that you always think, oh, that was the Duke kids that, you know, did all this stuff and they were wrong. And then it turns out they weren't. People don't remember the ending of the story. Yeah. Or the follow-up. Yeah. And they don't remember that that lady...

Yeah. So this was a 79-year-old boy. So this is why iced coffee got made because of this lawsuit. Do you know that?

Is that true? Yeah. Okay, you can't look. I know Nick is gone. You can't start doing it to me. I thought, I was like, I wish Nick was here. Because that's actually kind of probably timing-wise works out to be like, and that's why they started making iced coffee. That made enough sense for me. I bet if he watches, he'll still fall for it. The coffee, he's not watching, dude. The idea that you think he's watching. I promise you he's not watching.

But the idea that it would work out that that's how the coffee people respond to it. They go, yeah. Well, do you want it cold then? Because that's what we're doing. And then they just send them cold coffee. Yeah. Yeah. It makes sense. It makes sense. Could be the reason. Yeah. Maybe right. What's speed limit laws? Well, I just want to talk about like,

I mean, I was thinking, what laws have I broken in my life? And besides a few traffic laws like speeding, that's it. Yeah, I don't know if you ever stole something. Have you? When I was a kid, this is one of my first memories. I went to the store with my mom and I stole a Bubblicious. And I just put it in my pocket. I remember I brought it home and I wrote my name on it with a Sharpie.

said Aaron and I was carrying around in my pocket I didn't even want to it was just the thrill of taking it I didn't even want to chew it I just kept it in my pocket and then it fell out of my pocket and my mom was like who got you that and I was like oh my uncle bought it for me I was like lying now you're doubling down oh yeah I lied so she's like let's call call him up so she called my uncle he's like I haven't seen him in years you know it's just wow the story doesn't even check out so

So my dad was like, I remember my dad took me back to the store and I had to return it to the cashier. Yeah. And she probably, it's like probably a cute moment as an adult for a little kid to come back and, you know. How old were you?

Four or five, maybe. Maybe four or five or six. Why did your uncle say, I haven't seen him in years? I was just joking. He was like, no, I haven't been around. We haven't been hanging out. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I would hope that that's what your uncle's response would be. Yeah. Hey, did Aaron do this? He's six years old. I haven't seen him in years.

I was thinking, why would your mom have to call him if that's the case? Did your mom not know that you could have been with your uncle at some point? I just remember saying that somebody got it for me who it didn't make sense at all that this person would have given me. Yeah, yeah. The thrill of stealing. I feel like you would be the one that steals something out of this podcast. I don't steal anything else. That was just that. I got it out early. I stole a 59-cent Bubblicious pack.

And you saw how quickly your life spiraled. I said, I don't want, I don't want to become this guy. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to become, do you speak now to groups?

I would love to go around and share my story. Your testimony? Let them know. Don't let this happen to you. I haven't seen him in years. I looked the devil in the eyes, dude, after that, and I said, not today. Not today. I don't think I've stole anything either. I've driven back. Like if I ever took something that I paid for that I didn't pay for, just how some reason it –

got in your bag and maybe it wasn't swiped or something. And I've gone, I've driven all the way back and I go back in and I'll pay for it. I'll say, I didn't pay for this. That's how much I didn't want to steal. And that's almost, they look at you going, just take it home, man. This is more of a nightmare. You're more of a problem. And I'm waiting in line going, I forgot I didn't pay for this. And they're like, you were home? Yeah.

I mean, this is Kroger. It's a full gross. If you're doing this, I'd imagine you're never stealing. So one just happened to life worked out and you got through. I turned in when I worked at Opryland theme park, I found $20 on the ground and turned it into lost and found. Really?

Yeah, that's the one I always think about. I should have kept that $20. Because it turns out no one can really identify that. But in my head, I think someone's going to show up and go, I lost $20. And then they're going to go, well, we have $20. But I bet that was the same part where people told me their name was John and Jane Doe. So there was a lot of stuff going on. There's no way. Whoever you turned it into kept that. I mean, I would love to talk to that guy.

Because that guy would be like, no, I'm a good person. That guy's probably a good person. And he's like, but you're stupid. And you handed me $20 thinking I'm going to make an announcement. Just going to lose a $20 bill? Yeah, like I'm going to make an announcement over the park. Hey, everybody. Did anybody lose a $20 bill? Untraceable. No way to identify it.

Who lost a $20? And I think everybody's going, well, I didn't, so I'm not going to. Like, there wouldn't be just a rush. Right. I know it's only $20, but I think there'd be a rush. If you saw one now, would you just leave it? I would keep it. Maybe I would leave it. Oh, no, you just said you'd keep it. Well, I'm saying I would keep it, but I would probably, I've seen money on the ground. I mean, if there's no one around, you're going to grab it.

And then, but I would maybe, you may be leaving the ground. I always just think, you know, someone else finds it that needs it. And then, you know, that's all I hope. So I try to, I walk around and go, do you need $20? Hi, I'm comedian Nate Bargetzi and you look poor and stupid. Do you need, I found this money that you use to buy food for your tummy. Do you need it? That's what I go do.

People find it insulting. You tell them to vote after that. I tell them, I go, hi, I'm comedian neighbor. I get seen. Uh, but have you broken any traffic laws? Yeah. Yeah. I've, I've, I've done speeding. I got caught near my house. They get, they get, they sit. It's a perfect, uh, it's Holly under me. No. Is she in the room? It's not me either. That's Aaron's foot. Truly not me. Sorry. Uh, Holly just sits behind you sometimes. And we got these, I've rolled back on her. Yeah. And, uh,

I killed a dog once, actually. But I don't think that's against the law. Yeah, there's a hill down here. You come down it. I think the cop could sit there and get everybody. Because it's almost, I look at it every time now. He pulled me over and I got a ticket. And I look at it every time. I wish they would, if you get a speeding ticket, you should be able to pay it right there.

Wouldn't that help just to go to a hundred dollars and you're like, okay. They had like a card swiper just with them. Yeah. Let me just, boom. Yeah. Why not just go, how's there not more. Or an app. Yeah. Just to go like, let me just pay it real fast. It's like almost like that's what you're, you're, it's almost like if you get caught, you're not as mad. Right. If you go, if I can just get this over with. I can just Venmo the city real quick. Yeah. Yeah. Venmo the hundred. You know how much money they would get? Yeah.

They should do that. It's probably bad, though. Yeah. People would probably be against that. Yeah. Why? Because then they would take advantage of it. Because they're going to show you what you can't show. People would speed a lot more. I wonder, has there ever been cops caught where you just go, just give me $100? Like, if you said, here's $100. I'm sure that goes. I mean, dude, he can make $500 a day. I think a lot of people want to go to traffic court to keep it off the record.

I, uh, I've been in traffic court. I remember going when I was like, you know, 17 or something like that. We used to have where, uh, a house that we lived in a cop would sit at this top of this four way stop and he'd be all the way up the hill in our neighborhood. So I grew up in old Hickory, which is Lakewood. And they, they had their own police department. It was Davidson County, but we had our own police department outside of Davidson County. So Lakewood was just a tiny area.

And with their own police department. And it was ticket city. Everybody knew right when you, on Old Rick Boulevard, right when you pass, there's a golf course, Hermitage golf course. Right when you hit that Hermitage golf course until you got to Madison or the bridge, it was like, just obey the laws. Cause it's,

It was only police. Talking about that stretch right when he crossed the main bridge in the liquor. Yeah. A couple years ago, it's still known as that. Yeah. Well, I think now it's just Davidson County. Now they stopped it. But it was such a small area that had all these cops that had their own police department. And so they were just on it. I mean, so you couldn't speed because they're not covering a whole city. They're covering just this tiny part. And they would always get tickets. I remember my brother got a ticket.

one time and i pulled up to make sure because he was he was just 16 or 17 and so i'd been like 19 and i pulled up the cop and i remember the cop was like yelled at me i had to go on because you can't just pull up on a cop and then be like that's my brother uh he's you know he's just probably nervous about and the cop's like yeah i'm pretty nervous too about what's going on you're like that makes sense uh and i drove off and he got a ticket uh

But yeah, I remember. Yeah. I've broken those kind of laws. Like I'm trying to, I don't know. What's the fastest you ever remember going? I remember I've driven over a hundred. I hit a hundred once too. I had my 300 ZX just to do it. Yeah. Yeah. I did it on 24. It feels good, man. You can get there quicker than you think. Right. I mean, it doesn't, it's not like this jerk back and you, I mean, I've definitely been driving and you're like, I'm going 90.

Yeah, you just look down. You just look down. Whoa, whoa. Sometimes you see the whole, you know, my wife would be like, slow down. You know, I'm like, everybody's going. You know, I'm going to have to pull over. You know, the left lane, that's something I heard people talk about. The left lane is straight up just for passing. A lot of people don't understand the relationship between the left and the right lane. I've realized that. Every other lane you can be in, left lane should always be empty.

It's just there to pass, then you get back over. And never pass on the right. Yeah. That's how wrecks happen. Yeah. Although a lot of people do if the slow person's in the left lane. I mean, I guess you have to at some point. It's a free-for-all. So in 1901, Connecticut was the first state in the United States to impose a numerical speed limit for motor vehicles, setting the maximum legal speed at 12 miles per hour in cities and 15 on rural roads.

Speed limits then started propagating across the United States. And by 1930, all but 12 states had speed limits. So some didn't even have any. But how fast could a car go back then? I was going to say, in 1901, I mean, what were those cars? 20? Not very fast, but they got fast pretty quickly. By 1930, they could go pretty fast.

Yeah, that's when, I mean, they started racing moonshine. Yeah. Like NASCAR. Nevada and Montana had no speed limit until Congress clamped down with a national speed limit in 1974 of 55 miles per hour because of the gasoline shortage. Wow, so in 1973, you could go to Montana and it was do whatever you want. Even better, they found a way around it. So they just said they made the penalty $5.00.

Some drivers just kept a wad of $5 bills in their glove compartment, so if they were pulled over, they would be ready to pay the fine on the spot. That was in Montana. In Nevada, the penalty was $15. So you could pay the cop then. Yeah, apparently. You could just give them five bucks. I like that system. Yeah, I mean, there's no way they're all turning that in. I mean, you're going to, cops are, let's eat some lunch, and then you go get three guys. And they've earned it. I pull over three guys and they go, what do you want to do here?

And he goes, here's $5. And you go about your day. Yeah. How fast do you think you would drive if there were no speed limit? I'm trying to think. I mean, I don't know if I want to go around at 100 miles an hour all day. I wouldn't want to go around at 100. I would definitely go faster than I'd probably at least be in between 80 and 90 on the interstate. Yeah. And all that stuff changes. The older you get, it is the slower you kind of go. You just end up going. I don't. Some of it could be just a straight up. I don't feel like.

Turning all these curves. It's just not fun. We just rented a car in LA that when you turn...

I got to drive a Mercedes there. And so when you turn the wheel, the seat hold you, hold your body. So wherever you would be turning. So if you turn right or turn left and you would have to bend that way or kind of pushes your body that way. In L.A., there's a lot of curvy streets and you would do it and it just holds you. So you never move. That's pretty cool. And it made it easier.

It's something that you don't really think, but you ever sometimes you can when you drive feel, you feel like tired. You're like, I don't feel like going down this curvy road. It's just like you feel like it's like, you know, you just, I don't know if your brain's tired, you're tired, and you don't want to turn the wheel of your car. Seems real lazy, but I think everybody feels that. If you got other people in your car too, then you got to worry about their comfort. And then you got to be, if it's just me, I don't mind.

You don't ever feel tired? You don't ever get... I mean, I drove six hours today. Really? Yeah. From where? Ohio, Columbus. Oh, so you just woke up and... I got pretty tired a couple... Some stretches on that drive. What time did you leave? 5.30 or 6. So you watched six episodes of The West Wing? Yeah. Did you watch West Wing? No. You did, didn't you? No, I didn't. Not today. What did you do? Listen to... Listen to some podcasts. Yeah? Yeah.

Some songs. Called some people. Yeah. They, yeah, you don't ever feel tired. Like, I feel tired from driving. Sometimes you just, it seems like a lot. Like, you could go out of my house to go to, if I want to go to the golf course, there's two ways. I can go one way that's more traffic, but just kind of straight. And the other way is a little curvy. And sometimes I'm like, I just don't, it seems like it's just a lot to go, the curviness. Yeah.

Maybe I'm the only one, you know? No, I get it. No, I get it. I get it. You break the law every time you... Did you say you get it? Yeah. To your own tape? I get it, Nate. When you watch shows. I don't think what I'm doing is against the law. I'm positive it is. What are you...

What law would it be? You can't look at your phone when you drive. I'm not looking at my phone. I'll peek at it every now and then when I got. Well, there you go. There you go. You're listening. So you think it's like a radio. I don't have my phone on the steering wheel and I'm like looking at it. It'd be better if you did. At least you'd be looking in the same direction that you're driving. You're like, I do the right thing. I put it on the floorboard. You know, the new iOS has picture in picture now with a lot of apps.

So if I'm on Netflix and then I X out of it and go to maps, the video will pop up. You can just put it right there over the maps. And then you just map. That's breaking the law every time though. I don't think it is. Yeah. I mean, so you break it for hours. It's Apple. It's Apple's breaking the law. Yeah. Hours and hours and hours. That's how, I mean, just the amount of time. It's not once. It's...

Six, seven hours? I mean, how many hours do you think you broke the law if that's against the law? If that's against the law, we're talking a lot of hours. I mean, a ton of hours. Wow. Yeah. Just 20 hours straight. I don't think I'm being dangerous at all. Driving and watching the phone? Because I'm just listening to it. Yeah. But every now and then you want to just look at it. Yeah. You know? And then you look a little longer than you expected. Yeah.

You look up and you drifted over. You're like, hey. That doesn't happen. Sorry, I'm watching this thing. I'm good at it. I'm good at it. Yeah. Yeah. The highest posted speed limit in the country is 85 miles per hour. Where's that? It is in State Highway 130 in Texas. Ooh. Keep going on that.

I would never understand when they're real quick. Some of them go, you ever see some speed limits and they'll be like 30, now 45, but back to 30. And you can never even get up to them. Those are speed traps, right? Yeah. Is that what they are? I feel like that's what they're for. Yeah. I just feel like some areas are more curvy or more populated, so they have to lower. But why would you not? But some of it is not, you can see the signs. It's 30 and 45, and it's back to 30.

And it's, you can almost see all three. Like it's just, why would you ever even put the 45 in the middle? Yeah. What's the system? What's the fastest? Oh, what's the one that, the place where there's no speed limit and where's the Audubon? Yeah. In Germany. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I was reading where you get in some serious trouble there. If you run out of gas, like Aaron's got a joke about that, but like here you call triple a or whatever there you get like heavy find, uh,

Because you'll disrupt all the traffic. Yeah, and they just think it's ridiculous, so they're not as nice about it. Like it's crazy. You're stupid. Yeah. I mean, you are stupid when you run out of gas, I think, so I get it. Yeah. Are there a lot of wrecks on the Autobahn? I don't think so. That's interesting. Everybody's moving. I mean, I guess if you don't want to go fast, you can go in the far lane, right? I guess. Yeah. There are lanes on it, though?

I mean, I guess I don't know. I just assume. I'm just picturing. Every time you see like an intersection in another country, it just looks like chaos. I think it's just like a long stretch of highway. I feel like that's the India or something like that, where it's just that circle and it's just people. That is what I'm thinking. I'm thinking of India. It looks like a million cars going through a market. Yeah, just, man, it's a roundabout. That's just, I mean, how do not everybody dead? Yeah.

And then people just sit and they're like, now. Like, I mean, that's where people should learn how to drive, though. Because that's how you go. I mean, people go. You got to go. It's almost like, see NASCAR. They drive up on their bumpers because they know the guy's not going to stop to let, you know, a dove fly by. That's what would fly by. I don't know. I couldn't think of anything. So I went with that.

But it seemed like the speed limit allows kind of went to effect because of fuel shortage more than even danger, like to conserve energy. I guess there's a certain speed you get and it's burning too much oil, too much fuel. Oh, so that's why they even had them. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. And probably the accelerating and all the accelerating burns gas too, right? Yeah. The first national speed limit was 55 miles an hour. And that was because of the gasoline shortage. Yeah.

That's how they control you. Why was there a shortage? How does that work? Well, that's a whole other show. It's a whole other. Yeah. It's because no one voted. What's seatbelt laws? I never understand that. If you don't want to wear your seatbelt, I think you should. Then don't wear it. What's the logic behind making people wear a seatbelt? Yeah.

I mean, I don't know this, but I think it's just, if you feel the same way like helmets and stuff on motorcycles and things like that. And I think it's just because it, taxpayers have to pay, if this person gets injured or hurt, we have to pay for medical bills or. Yeah. But if you don't, but if they don't wear a seatbelt and get hurt, you're still paying for their medical bills, right? It's not like it's a.

Being like, well, we put a law and they didn't follow the law, so we don't have to pay for that guy's bills. So you feel the same way about speed limit? Shouldn't be a speed limit? I could see a speed limit. That's just too much inconsistency because there's too many cars going in and out. So you can't be like, some guy wants to go 150 and then an old lady wants to go 20. Well, that can't be together on the same road. That's going to be a problem. So you got to at least have somewhere to meet in the middle.

But making you wear your seatbelt is... I don't know how that's... If I don't want to wear it, then... I mean, I wear a seatbelt. I like a seatbelt. I've always been a seatbelt person. I think most people are. But if some guy's like, I don't want to, then don't wear a seatbelt. I grew up... I mean, I can remember when seatbelt law came into effect. I mean, it's like...

I mean, it was in the 80s. Yeah. You should be able to remember it. And did people... People did not like it. Yeah. And there was always stories about like, well, I knew a guy who was killed in a wreck because he was wearing a seatbelt and couldn't get out. Yeah. I've heard that. Those will be stories both ways. Right. And I always think... No, I remember...

I don't know if we ever talked about this. I do remember a time where if you put your seatbelt on and your friend was driving, it was offensive to him.

So I mean, I remember you got in my buddy's car and you put your seatbelt on. He'd be like, come on, dude. Like, are you being serious right now? You think I'm that bad of a driver? And I mean, you would go, all right, I'm sorry. And you would undo it because you were embarrassed. You were embarrassed to have it on because it was insulting to him that you would put a seatbelt on. And I would never, if I got in a, I don't remember getting in cabs. I mean, New York, you don't, I mean, now you can.

You put a seatbelt on. But I mean, I remember really, that's my first. I don't remember necessarily the seatbelt law, I guess. But I just remember getting into people's cars and they would be, I mean, if you said, I'm going to put my seatbelt on. And I used to think, how could I, what can I say to get a seatbelt on without the person getting upset about it? And I would try to think of ways that I could cool, say, well, let me just put it on.

I was just trying to find a way so the guy doesn't make fun of me. He's like, all right, that makes sense.

You know, if you're like, I just, why not? I'm just going to see how this one works. Yeah. Like, oh dude, I love seatbelts. Seatbelts are fun. You looks comfortable. Or I would try to make it click where he couldn't hear it. Yeah. Cause I didn't want them, especially if you were in the back, I could just put it on and like, how can I do it? Like, can I hold the button down and put it in and slowly let it up? And then he doesn't hear it. So the guy doesn't get mad. I mean, they used to get mad. Do you remember them getting mad? People get mad. Yeah. There's just, it wasn't a cool thing. It was a direct thing.

reaction to their driving skills was by going, I'm going to put my seatbelt on. Was it just the chaos? That was the way that you would do it. You'd say, what's the other people I'm worried about? You're a great driver. That was a good one that you could do. And he goes, but I can avoid it.

That's like what my parents would say to me when they wouldn't let me do stuff. They go, look, we trust you. We don't trust these other people out here. Being out past midnight. My parents used to say that. Nothing good happens at midnight. And when you get older, you realize nothing good happens past midnight. It truly doesn't.

Nothing. It's all trouble. I say 3 a.m. That's my cutoff. Well, yeah, I guess 3 a.m. would be. Yeah, midnight is not. That's true. A lot of stuff happens at midnight. Never mind. Skip to hit three hours. Yeah. Do you find it weird that school buses don't have seatbelts? Maybe.

I don't know. Do you know what you know about it? Well, I mean, I've always thought it was kind of... My thinking is the bus is so big. That's what he said. Do you feel... Well, he said that. Yeah, I think it's real weird. Yeah, because you're stupid, Aaron. That's what I'm saying. It sounded like he was trying to trap me. Because I looked at you when I asked the question. You were like, yeah, what do you think about it? I don't... I mean, I don't... I think the bus is so big that they probably crunched the numbers. Yeah.

And it said that there's not really a big risk of kids dying in a bus. I think they're having some buses. We talked about the tour bus. We're trying to get a newer tour bus. And if we get a newer tour bus, they're going to have to have seatbelts. So the new tour buses are going to have to have seats. They have beds in them. You have to buckle up in the bed. Not buckle up in the bed, but in the chairs, the couch, and the stuff that they're going to have.

The driver buckle up too. Yeah, like everybody. I mean, it's going to be just a straight up. I've seen he already buckles. Does he not buckle? He probably does. But I would bet that they're going to have to figure a way. No one's going to do that. I've always thought it was weird that school buses didn't have seat belts. I looked it up. Eight states do require it. But the reason partially is what you said. They feel like the buses are so safe. Usually when you hear about a school bus wreck, it's the other car that's getting the brunt of it.

Some people say, or some argument was the kids would use the seatbelts as weapons on each other. Oh, wow. Some said if one's wearing one and another is not and there's a wreck, it'll injure them differently. One kid goes fine, one's safe. Let them all fly. Yeah. It probably gives the bus a capacity, too. Yeah. Now they can just cram as many kids as they want on there. I don't know if there's a legal limit, but.

So the seatbelts, they'd be like, we can't get as many. Yeah, we only have a certain number of seatbelts on there. But if there's no seatbelts, it's like, dude, put three in a row. Four across, dude. Yeah, I don't know if they're doing that. Well, not with COVID. Yeah, I think even before COVID. I don't think they're just jamming. It's like, again, you're thinking about the subway in Japan. You saw that video and you think that's how we take kids to schools. But they're just pushing the back into people. That's what you think kids...

I don't know what's going on, man. Over in Shelby County, we got a bus problem. Not too many buses and too many kids. Memphis. Who knows the counties? Daylight savings was just happened. Yeah. So, um, I found that interesting. Um, do you guys know the history of daylight savings? No, I don't know how much I care either, but all right. You want to move on? I'm possibly, I'll let you know. I've started. All right. You know, uh,

During World War I, in an effort to conserve fuel, Germany began observing daylight savings, and then the rest of Europe soon followed. The plan was... I mean... Can we stop? I don't know. Tried it in the U.S. What's like the quickest way? The idea was unpopular, especially with farmers. So farmers didn't like it. Correct. We always think it's for farmers. Yeah. They had less time in the morning to get their milk and harvesting crops to the market. Yeah.

Yeah. Could this go either way? Is that good? That's enough. I mean, is there something else that's crazy? Well, that some states don't observe it. I mean, you're the one who brought it up. I know, but I was, I don't know if I cared. So Germany started it. Some states don't, still don't observe it. I'd rather just talk about it like that. You know, like, so Germany started it. Wish I could get this hour back, to be honest.

So it's not for farmers. I know Indianapolis does, I don't know if Indiana, the whole state does it, or Indianapolis does it. Indiana, from 1970 until 2006, most of Indiana was in the eastern time zone and did not observe daylight savings time, but the entire state started to do so in April 2006 after eight counties in western Indiana were shifted from the central time zone to the eastern time zone.

I think it's ridiculous that we do it. I don't... Do you know what daylight savings time is? It's just the hour going forward. I thought it was for farmers or something. So I thought they was for farmers. You don't like daylight savings. I don't. I mean, it's getting dark at 4.50. See, that's not daylight savings. That's not? No. What is that? That's standard time. Daylight savings is when you get...

darker later in the evening yes so shouldn't we just stay on eastern time kind of where we would kind of be we will we lose an hour we should always just stay spring forward yeah and stay there that's right yeah some people think that yes so what so that's not daylight savings times so this one this one we just left daylight savings yes we just left daylight seven savings because we were saving the daylight right and then so now we're not saving daylight

And I still don't know why. I know you explained it, but you lost me in World War I in Germany. I kind of bailed. I mean, you didn't give a bunch of a chance. You got about two sentences in. It seemed like a long way to go. What would be your quickest way to say why we have it? Because somebody did it and we just started doing it. Yeah, see? So there's no reason. That's why. That's a good, that's why, right? That's essentially why. Yeah, it was to conserve fuel.

Like the speed limits? I didn't make it up. We do the same thing with the speed limits? They came around at the same time. During World War I, in an effort to conserve fuel, Germany began observing daylight savings time. That doesn't even make sense. Why does it fuel? They had different fuel things back then, so they had to... Why didn't they do the speed limit of the Autobahn then? Right? Is it Autobahn? Yeah, Autobahn.

Yeah. Sounds like a transformer. But it's... Why didn't they do the speed limit? They go, no, we're not doing speed limit. Just make an hour. Lose an hour or whatever. And then they go, that doesn't make sense. Yeah, it seems way more complicated than just adding a speed limit. Yeah. Mm-hmm. The little scientist got a little too...

Rich is for his Brian. You know what I don't feel? I feel sorry for people that live right on the edge of a time zone. I always think about this. That just every day you have to think about which time zone you're in. Oh, yeah. If you go to work, you're in this time zone. Knoxville is like that. There's probably a county he knows about. Yeah, I do. Yeah. Rome County. Rome County? Yeah. They live right in between both. And so then what do they do? It must be a nightmare. What do those people do? Yeah. Nine o'clock.

Pacific. I would be the guy that always gives Pacific time just to throw everybody off. You know? You'd probably just say 9 Eastern. You just have to always say Eastern. You always have to specify. If you're someone that's kind of going back and forth. Right. Everything's Eastern. You just got to pick, we're doing Eastern.

That's what we're doing. We talk to me. I get it when I have to plan stuff because I have to plan New York and L.A. stuff. And so I have to mainly all L.A. stuff. I usually get their times. So they'll say, I watch you have L.A. time just so I can always kind of quickly look at it. So when my managers and they're like, we got a meeting or you got this at 2 p.m. Pacific. I try to just kind of keep it Pacific. It's easier. They understand it.

And then it's like Pacific. Let's do Pacific time. You got to just pick a time. Yeah. That's what it is. So why do they do daylight savings time? I still don't know. All right. Does the driver license requirement, is that just as boring? Maybe. Let me pull that up. Yeah. Let's see. It ended up being more interesting than we gave it credit for. I mean, it's the, I like the idea of getting to see if it's going to be fun or not. Do you think 16 is too young to get a driver's license?

Probably now. That's been a lot. I mean, I have a joke about that. It made sense 100 years ago because people, 16, you were an adult. Yeah, you're middle-aged. Yeah. Back then you were going to war. But now it just, it's crazy to me that 16. Everything should probably just be 18, right? The earliest, yeah. Make everything 18. Tobacco, alcohol, everything's just 18. Everything's 18. I mean, that makes sense. Military. Does it? Military. I think it makes sense for it all to be consistent. Why does it not?

I mean, I think some things are different. So what do you want it to be? For a driver's license? Yeah. I would say at least 18. I feel like you should at least be an adult before you can drive a movie giant car. So everything should be 18? No. Alcohol, I don't think that. What should alcohol be? 21. Yeah, you like it at 21? Yeah. I just feel like you're like, yeah, just make everything 18. I think make everything 18. If you can go fight. I always like that. If you can go fight for your country and die...

In a war, why can't you have a beer at 18? I mean, maybe you say only military people can drink at 18. Maybe that's the case. Drive up some people joining the army. Those numbers will go up real quick. In 1903, Massachusetts and Missouri became the first states to require a driver's license, although it wasn't necessary to pass a test to obtain one.

You just went in and got one. Yeah. Like a library card. You just said, hey, can I get a driver's license? Oh, yeah. Yeah. And then, I can't find it right now, but it basically said that in the past, to learn to drive a car, you just learn from the salesperson. Like you go in, buy it, and then they show you how to drive it. Wow. That's kind of fun. Yeah, that's fun.

I bet they just go, you get it, right? The guy wants to sell a car. You know, when people, when they were first introducing cars to people, people used to say, instead of braking, when they were going too fast, they'd say, whoa, because they were used to riding on a horse. Mm-hmm.

It was just like a brand new thing. Sounded like my grandfather was telling me something dumb. We're like, all right, man. Like, that's honestly, this is a story that just felt like, you know, you're just like, oh, God, how long do we got to? You're just waiting for your parents to go. All right, let's go. And you're like, thank God this old man keeps. You don't think that's interesting, dude? Huh? You don't think that's interesting? It just felt like that story. I'm not saying it's not interesting. It just felt like a story that. I mean, it didn't feel good coming out.

I get it. What's that? I think that's interesting. I appreciate it, man. The 100-year-old man in the room likes it. People were saying, whoa. Yeah, because they're so used to riding horses. Oh, let's dive into it more. Keep going into it. Yeah. Let's break it down more. You didn't get it by the example that he gave? Well, I wasn't listening. That was one sentence that you go, yeah, I got it. That's a pretty cool fact. That is a cool fact, man. Whoa.

Everybody do that when they break now. Whoa. They would try to buck it. Whoa. Yeah, okay. No, I think that's... I do think it's a cool... I'm just saying the way it was said, the timing of when it was said, it felt very much like your grandfather. And you go, yeah, that's crazy. And we got to just keep going along. We've heard this multiple times. I'm not saying I've even heard that. Okay. But the way it was delivered... I get it. It's, you know...

I mean, this is an episode of boring. So trying to liven it up. Let's go to whatever. Daylight Sandwich. Let's do Daylight Sandwich one more time. See how that would make that fun. There it goes. Let's see. Which one? Let's do Japan's. All right. In January 2008, Japan passed the Metabo Law, named after the...

metabolic syndrome to reach its goals of shrinking the overweight population the government imposed financial penalties on companies and local governments that fail to meet specific targets with a new law for example a company that makes a product had to measure i'm zoned out so i don't you know it's the overweight law yeah so they're saying if you're fat it's against the law

Is that it? Do you have to pay a fine or taxes? Yeah. Well, can I keep going? Oh, yeah. I don't know. Is it... What would... Just describe it.

I think just describe it real quick. Like your fact, you just did, what one did you just do? The driver, the sales driver one was very fun. Yeah. And then Aaron brought it down with his woe story. So like, let's do this. Let's do it that same way again. Companies could incur pills. How much would Aaron have to pay to live in Japan? That's what we really want to know. That's what we're getting at.

Can he even visit Japan? Or does he have to, does it cost a little more? He would have to. I can't afford it. And I'm like, well, it's not that much. You go, well, well, it's a little more. Some surcharges. Sumo wrestler. Whoa. Do they have to pay? Sumo wrestler? Extra? So it's overweight. What is it? So they're overweight if they're against the law. Companies could have some penalties to pay. Yes. If their people did not. If your staff, the company has to pay it.

So they're trying to tell him. That's why they do those workout videos. And that's also why they jump out of buildings. It's a mix of both. The good and the bad with it. They do do that. And this is part of why. Man. You can't. Just some guy that can't lose weight. And so eventually he just goes, well, I'm out. Then this is crazy. What, he just quit his job?

No, what's he going to go to? Another job that goes, we do need to talk about your weight as he sits in. Here's my resume. I'm the smartest person ever. This is all good and great, but you're a bit of a, you know what I mean? A little too, you know what I'm saying? I don't know how to say it, but you're... Companies measure waistlines of all of its employees. Wow.

Who's not jumping out a window? I mean, like you're... It sounds like I'm about to jump out a window. Yeah, that sounds horrific. But it was COVID. And it goes, well, not everybody, you know. They're the biggest mammal in the sea. But as George says, they don't have to be. That's how... I mean, can you imagine just them? They're weighing you? Yeah. Well, you could argue the same reason that... Or they're measuring your waist. How many people would walk in behind you?

Like if you would just find your biggest guy and go, like for me, I'm not saying I'm skinny, but I would go behind the biggest guy just so when I go through, they're like,

Because if I get with someone that's super skinny, then now I'm starting to get looked at. So I got to place you. You should go behind a sumo guy. Where they go, they go. I mean, this guy is exhausted. Two sumo guys go in, and he's like, and there's a third, and you get right in the middle. So when they get to you, he's like, no, go ahead. You're fine. So you don't even get measured because the guy's too tired from measuring the tape of the sumo guys.

How often do they measure their... Every one. Every day. Do you know what your waistline is? 30, 34, 33. Could be a 32. I've had some 32 pants. Yeah. But I'd say 34. Let me look it up here. Average waist size of Japan. It's going to be smaller than ours. It's got to be. It's got to be. I mean, it's against the law. Yeah. I looked it up last night, but I forgot. Do you know... I didn't... It's against the law. I mean, you can't... Can't they only have one kid, too, somewhere? Yeah.

33.5 inches for men and... I mean, that's the limit. And 35 for women. Why is women more? Well, I don't agree. Because you can be pregnant. Wow. Yeah. Well, for a brief stint then. Well, the women one I think is great. But the... No, nigga. When you say that, you're like... I'll be honest with you. I get it. Yeah. No. That makes sense. Yeah. Why are the men smaller than the women? Maybe Aaron's right. Because they get to...

35 for a woman. I mean, women are just crushing it over there, man. They can do whatever they want. 33 is tiny for a guy. It is tiny, man. I mean, that's a small, small fill. I mean, 35 is, I mean, that's crazy. So 30, uh, 33.5 is, it's against the law. They get fined, dude.

I mean, that's crazy because we can't... We know you're... Dude, you bring a lot to the table. We can't afford to hire you. Well, it's between the ages of 40 and 74, so you'd be okay, Aaron. Oh, good. That's when you got to lose the weight? After 40? Yeah. 40 to 74? That doesn't even make sense. No. So they're saying...

That's when your metabolism was slow. That's when it's probably the hardest. But that's when you start to run into other problems. Yeah, that's when you got problems. But if you stay in that window. Right. Except women, they get to be these... She'll be all fat-sos over there, and the men have to get it together. I mean, come on. Where else is there one...

Isn't that somewhere China? China. That's no longer. Okay. But it was for a long time. You could only have one kid. Yeah.

uh i feel like you talk to someone over there and you're like uh speed limit laws are crazy they go yeah i don't even know man we have a lot of stuff going on like there's just no one you can't bring up they're listening to this podcast isn't daylight savings time nuts why we have to deal with that and he's like yeah i for 34 years i had my waist measured i'm not allowed to read a book yeah yeah

Then he goes, he's like 34 years out of my waist. I had to lose all this weight. And it's like, well, at least I bet your women look good. He goes, yeah, you would think so. What? Yeah, but no, they're allowed to get as big as they want. Uh, all right. What's the Milan's smile law in Milan, Italy. You have to smile. It's against the law. If you don't smile, uh,

unless you're attending a funeral or a hospital worker or at the bedside of an ill family member. They think it brings tourism and joy. So you just have to walk around and smile. I think it's another one of these laws that's never enforced, but it is on the books. Hey.

I think it would be like you walk around going, hey, I want to come here, man. This place is nuts. It would make me not want to go. I guess you almost have to say, look friendly. Just be friendly. Just be nice. Just be nice and friendly.

That's so funny. I went to Singapore. They have some laws. They're super clean. Yeah, they have, of course, litter laws. You can't chew gum there. It's a law to chew gum. You can't chew gum in Singapore? Yeah. No, because they're too afraid. They don't want you to throw it down on the ground. Yeah. Wow. They have very serious litter laws in Singapore. Yeah. Cigarettes? They smoke cigarettes? Yeah.

That's the most littered item in the world, is cigarette butts. Is that fact, or you just... Yeah. Oh, is it? I think if you threw one down, you'd be in big trouble. Wow. I had no idea. No swearing in public in the Caribbean? That was... An old law? I used to do a joke about laws. Something about a bucket. I don't know. You can't drink out of a bucket in Georgia or something. 50 Cent was... There were a lot of people drinking out of a bucket. I would do something like that. I forget.

There's always everybody's first joke. Because all these laws are very easy to make fun of. Because they're ridiculous. And so you just explain the law. You can't drink a bucket out of a Georgia. There's a lot of people drinking buckets out of Georgia. That's the gist of it. I'll probably bring it back. That sounds good. Yeah, it did pretty good.

50 Cent was arrested at a concert for swearing on stage during a concert in St. Kitts, a Caribbean nation that strictly prohibits the use of profanity in public. During a performance of his song Pimp, he uttered a bad word to the audience and was arrested, according to TMZ. He was booked after the performance and appeared in court to pay a fine and settle the charge. We should thrive in the Caribbean then.

The show? This show should be number one podcast in the Caribbean. Should be. Should be. It's not. Yeah. We've actually had trouble breaking in there, but if anybody knows anybody in the Caribbean...

Then there you go. All right. Let's do a couple more and then we'll be done. All right. The small Texas town. This is one Aaron had. Yeah. I think this is super funny that there's a small town in Texas called Marshall, Texas. It's like 25,000 people. And up until very recently, about a quarter of all the patent lawsuits in the country were

were filed in this small Texas town. So multi, multi-million dollar lawsuits are tried and filed in this small town. And there's a couple of reasons for that. First is they go real quickly through them. But the second reason is patents are very complicated and technical and specific. And so you want...

a dumb jury that you can convince. Really? So they've determined right or wrong that the jurors in this city are easy to convince for whatever you want to convince them of. Yeah. I just think that's so funny. Yeah. That this town, I mean, I don't even know if they know it or if they care, but all these big companies, because they try cases there all the time. Yeah.

They invest tons of money. There's a big ice skating rink in front of the courthouse that's Samsung-sponsored because Samsung gets sued there all the time, and they just want the people to like Samsung in there. It's hilarious. Wow. That's crazy. It's a small town. So they just chose it because Marshall is dumb. That's what they think. The way I've seen it worded is they're like, it's a little bit of less sophisticated marketing.

jurors yeah so and they also just don't really have a concept of how money works so they'll be like they decide the the settlement numbers the juries do so they're like ah 50 million you know they don't know yeah they have no idea do they know how to vote what's yeah you might need those are the people you might need to tell how to vote i don't know yeah um that's crazy yeah yeah so all the stuff goes in there and i mean every patent i mean so the law the the i wonder if it's like some of the the

attorneys are like, love it. I guess everybody brings in their own attorneys. No one's from there. They're just using, you go, how can they pick where they go? Well, that's, that's the thing. So if I, if I, you know, if I want to sue Brian and my company's based in Nashville, I don't want to try that case in Nashville. Yeah. Let's say I want to try it. So I'll open up a small little office and,

And Marshall. Yeah. Or I'll create some kind of professional relationship with that city. And that will allow you to file the case in that town. In that town. They've tightened those regulations. Like it's harder and harder to do now. But for a while, they're like, you know, just open up a little corner office.

And this small town, and then you can file the case there. Yeah. Super interesting. So they could do, I wonder if that town just gets all the cool stuff. They do. Yeah. Yeah. They get a lot of money coming in because all these big companies and lawyers come into town and. Yeah. Yeah.

They probably have some nice hotels. Yeah. Get new phones. Yeah, Samsung. Yeah, I mean, it's brands that want to be treated nice. Well, they want the town to like them. Yeah. Because the town's going to decide whether this company infringed on a patent or not. Yeah. And it's just all day long. The patents are... So yeah, it's a big part of that town. Yeah. Yeah.

It used to be. It used to be. Yeah. Things have kind of changed. It's still a hotbed for it. Oh, I thought it was the Supreme Court ruling that changed it. It did. Yeah. It did change it a little bit, but they're still doing patent lawsuits out there. Yeah. Just not like they used to. Yeah. Yeah. I'll share a couple more unusual state ones. In Tennessee, it's illegal to share your Netflix password.

Really? Passed in 2011, this law is directed at hackers who sell login credentials in bulk. However, individuals who share passwords and don't live under the same roof are also included. I mean, I wonder if, wait, even if you shared a password with your wife? No, it said they don't live under the same roof. Oh, so if you're divorced, then it's against the law.

And how would they ever catch anybody doing that? They don't. Didn't Netflix even say they were like, we don't care. Somebody. HBO came out and were like, it doesn't affect our bottom line at all. Just share it with your friends. Maybe it was HBO's president. Yeah. There's no way it has to affect. They said there's no indication that it affects our subscriber rate. So just share it, share your password. If anything, it'll make, it'll allow people to test it out. Yeah. And then they can get it themselves. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I guess it's like, yeah, go share it because it doesn't really, everybody wants their own anyway. Eventually you're going to be like, I'm tired of sharing. Yeah. I get, I was still on my buddy Dan Shacky's Google. I get YouTube, no ads. Yeah. And Google Play Music. I get it. And I get YouTube TV all from Shacky because he signed up a long time ago. It was like five friends. So I'm still on his. You were on my Netflix for a while. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep.

But you do eventually just feel like, I just want my own. I want my own Apple ID. That's my wife. We always have one. I think we pay. I'd love for that. It all gets interlocked together. What do you think about these married couples that have joint email addresses and joint Facebook pages and stuff? Could you get into that? Maybe. If I don't want to do it, I mean, ours is just different because you got to have your own. But I could see...

If I had a private one and I was like, just put me and Laura on it so we can see what's going on. She could just check. Because a lot of it, you just want to see what's up with your friends and kind of keep an eye on people you grew up with. So I could see that. But yeah, I guess it seems weird. Usually it's one person that's dominating that.

That's true. That kind of thing. It's not like the other person. I would imagine a lot of times it's the wife and the husband doesn't even know that the account's there. Yeah, that's probably true. And she just goes, this is me and let me tell you all my political opinions. What's the purpose? Is it to keep them honest?

No, I think they just think they're just going to use it together. I don't know. I mean, I don't think it's... I think it's exactly what I said it was. Yeah. It's a woman that... It's a wife that once has it. It says, here's me and my husband's Facebook, but they're not equally using it. The idea is generally, let's just do one together. Yeah. And I don't think they ever do... One person's going to dominate it, and the other one's not going to ever check it. But it's like just to stay in touch with people. That's the logic behind it.

You know, would you tell your both Mary, would you tell your wife your email passwords? She knows all mine. Yeah. She can get into everything. Unlock your phone and everything. Everything. Yeah. Yeah. That way too. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, it's yeah, whatever. She's my emails and she has all the money. I don't, she knows all the, where all the money is and all that stuff. I don't know any of that stuff. So you're not going to do that?

I don't know. I'm definitely not doing it now. Not doing it yet. No, I wouldn't do it now. I would be... And she would never ask me, but I would feel weird if she asked me. Yeah. And I have some friends who said their girlfriends were like, give me your passport. I had a friend whose girlfriend went on his phone and

installed her face to be able to unlock the iPhone. Yeah. And I thought that was insane. It's just too emotional when you're dating. You're dating. So it's like still a competition in a way. Like, I feel it's too, it's too emotional and too, you know, they want,

I don't know. It's like giving someone the keys to your apartment or something. The stakes are too high because you're dating. You could still not... You could break up and it could be over. So I feel like they want control over... They're trying to show me some kind of... This is going to go farther. You're not hiding anything or whatever. And then yours is the claustrophobia feeling of going like...

You got to give me something that's my own. Right. Like I'm not, you know, and then you get married and that gets beaten out of you. And then you don't know what's going on in here. Just, uh, you walk around, you don't know where anything's at and you just, and they control everything. She's like the government. I rely on her. You just walk around and where's this, where's that? And they got you.

But I could see the beginning right now you don't. Yeah, because you're still like, we're not married. Like, get off me. Yeah. It wasn't like we sat down day one and here's all my passwords. It's just over time, there'll be a reason like I need her to log into something for me. Yeah. And then, you know, and so I give it to her. She may not know all of them, but she knows some. Okay. I get that. Yeah. For sure. And my fiance hasn't asked me to do that, but I know people that it's been weird. She's going to now.

Here we go. And then we're going to have the big debate. You're going to come back and go, no, but it makes sense. You know, she didn't need it. And I think it's fine. Like, you know, she had to get in there. Nothing to hide. Like, so why not? Like, keep, yeah, keep your stuff separate. You should, you know, I know guys that with the bank accounts, they don't, they get married. They, people have, I read, there's an article about someone that had two separate bank accounts being like, you know, because most fights in marriage are going to be on money. Yeah. So it's,

We both split our bills. We pay the bills. And then that way, if I want to buy stuff, she can't say, why are you buying that? And he can't, you know, same way for him. She, no one's bothering them. And so that's, they, they do that. They do that. You just have two different bank accounts. And then, so yeah, do that. I don't know. I had, my parents used to put money out of bank card, a separate bank card. Even when I got married and they would always put like a couple hundred bucks in there. Cause I'd be on the road. And I want, if I wanted to go do something,

And we had no money, and I'm not making any money on the road. And then Laura was working, and so I would always just still get money from them. And I was married, 26, 27 years old. My mom is still on my bank account because she set it up with me when I was like 13 or 14. So she could put money in there for you. She could put money. She could take money out. We've talked about this. Yeah. They told me I have to go in to the bank that I set it up. When was the last time your parents gave you money?

I was in college. Yeah. You haven't taken any since comedy? Like they haven't given you 20 bucks, a hundred bucks? Not that I can think. Maybe they did. I can't think of anything. I was on their health insurance. I was 26. Yeah. You know, wrote that one out. Uh, uh, all right.

All right. That's it, right? Yep. We're good. All right. Thank you guys so much for listening. We appreciate it. We hope you have a good week and we will see you back here. Yeah, we recorded this on Monday, so it comes out Wednesday. Usually we were doing Tuesdays.

As always, thank you so much for listening and see you next week. Bye. Bye.
