0:54

Hi. Hi. Hi.

0:57

Hi.

0:57

Hi. Hi. Welcome to the

0:59

Nateland Podcast. Hello, folks. Hey, Bear. I

1:02

was going to say it. Give him a second, Brian.

1:05

Let him ease in. Why did you think I wasn't going to say it? Because you

1:07

always, yeah, because you always start with that. Oh.

1:10

You gave me that. I was going to do it after. I

1:12

would have done it. Hello, folks, and hey, Bear, welcome to

1:14

the Nateland Podcast. Yeah, I was going to say it after

1:17

the Aurora, and

1:19

then, so

1:22

then, but I was going to say it after. All right. So

1:24

I would have got it in there. I apologize. Yeah. We're

1:27

off to the races. Really jumped the gun. Hey, man, everybody's

1:29

getting involved. Well, I figure everybody

1:32

else was saying a thing. I might as well jump in here, too. Well,

1:34

we're here, everybody. You know who's here. Bates.

1:36

All right. Aaron Webber, Dusty Slee. All

1:39

right. People

1:42

don't like me doing that. Do they not? Nah.

1:44

They're real mad about it,

1:46

huh? Trying to steal Dusty's essay. Stolen valid.

1:48

By doing that. Stolen valid. Yeah, you got to get your

1:50

own thing. Yeah. Yeah.

1:52

We're having a good time. Well, the two of

1:54

you have de facto copyrighted

1:57

so many things on stage that

1:59

I.

1:59

There's so few things I can

2:02

do now. I can't put my hand behind my back.

2:04

Everybody thinks I'm ripping off Nate. No, you haven't copyrighted

2:07

anything. But- Yeah. I thought

2:09

you were talking about them too too. No. Wow.

2:12

Thank you. I was like, thank you

2:14

so much. I get told every day you're ripping

2:16

off Brian Banks on stage. Everybody

2:19

knows I invented waving and saying

2:21

we're having a good time. We're having a good time

2:23

is a more common phrase than people

2:26

realize. Sometimes you want to say that. I know.

2:28

They think I'm ripping you off. It is fun that people

2:31

think I invented saying that. And they think Nate

2:33

invented putting his hand behind his back. I did invent it. Yeah.

2:35

Feels good. That was the first ever do it. Yeah.

2:39

Shane puts his hand behind his back

2:41

too. Shane Gillis.

2:43

I haven't noticed that. Yeah. He will

2:45

too. I think he said he told

2:48

me he thinks because I did it. But

2:50

you just end up seeing something that

2:53

you just do. I don't think it matters. If you

2:55

have your hand behind my back it's like whatever. That's why I do

2:57

this. Completely the opposite. Yeah. He puts it low

2:59

behind his back. I'm up high and in front.

3:01

Yeah. Completely out. What does that

3:04

leave me to do? You got to come in the middle. You

3:06

got to do something about right here. You

3:08

got to do this. Yeah. Just

3:10

leave the hand right there. That's my way to do it. Well,

3:13

it's yeah. I did

3:15

it. I think I did it to keep my

3:17

hands out of my pockets or out of

3:19

my front part. And that's what it started from.

3:22

And then. Why do you

3:24

not want it in the pockets? You just didn't like the look of that.

3:26

I mean, I'm not saying it'll be in the pockets. If I have

3:28

a hoodie on stage I can put it in the pocket. Yeah. I

3:31

don't know. I've been thinking a little bit more about

3:33

how you stand on stage recently.

3:35

Like just, you know, have it. I, you

3:37

know, I want, I tend to want to put my, this hand in

3:39

my pocket. I want to put this hand somewhere. So

3:42

then that I just went behind my back

3:44

and, you know, and even that last special,

3:47

it's like the, the

3:49

jeans I had, the pockets were so, so

3:52

shut. Really? They're fake pockets.

3:55

Yeah. And I didn't realize. Yeah. Cause I didn't realize

3:57

that they did that. And then.

4:00

Like, I mean, in the special I just go, poof,

4:03

and I hit my hand on it and I go, I sold

4:05

those pockets up. I was told that Jeff

4:07

Allen once sewed

4:10

the, sewed shut his coat jackets

4:13

on his coat jacket because he didn't want to put his

4:15

hand in there. So he sewed it shut. Yeah. I

4:18

like to just move my hands all around in

4:20

a real distracting manner. That's what I like to

4:22

do. Well, it depends on how you're, yeah,

4:25

it depends on like what, you know, where

4:28

you, what's going on, where you're standing. Like, you

4:30

know, when I was in the round on the last one, it's

4:32

like I'm moving a lot more. So

4:35

it just feels, you know, it feels

4:37

better. I like to do everything that

4:39

they tell you not to do as a comedian. Yeah. Like

4:42

Ralphie May would say, don't wear a hat, don't have

4:44

glasses, don't have a beard. And wear long

4:46

hair. Yeah. That's what

4:48

he said. I think so. I didn't hear it. People

4:51

tell me he said it. Don't wear glasses, don't

4:53

have a beard. Yeah. Or long hair. Everybody

4:56

has a beard now. Yeah. Well, he said there's

4:58

all kinds of studies that show that your trustworthiness increases

5:02

the less distractions there are on

5:04

your face. That's why politicians typically

5:06

don't have beards, is that you tend

5:08

to trust somebody more who just has a clear face.

5:11

I can see that. I don't want them to trust me. Yeah.

5:14

I think it's your, well, you're selling, yeah, you're selling

5:16

something different. Yeah. Yeah.

5:20

Untrustworthiness. Yeah. You

5:22

don't know how the show's going to go. Yeah.

5:25

Buy a ticket. Hopefully it goes well. Yeah.

5:29

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

5:32

Yeah. That's what I'd like to do. One

5:34

day when I do shave and cut my hair, I'd like to do a show and then just kind of take it

5:36

off mid stage. Mid show. Just

5:38

go. You know what? I'm tired

5:40

of wearing this. Yeah. That'd be hilarious.

5:43

Pull it off. Pull off a whole mask and I'd

5:45

be Brian Bates. That's what we should do. Yeah.

5:50

And then you go, oh, that's why he's doing it. Yeah. Yeah.

5:54

He's getting jealous of his own creation. Yeah.

5:58

I mean, the very first comment on here is basically.

5:59

kind of what we're talking about. Yeah,

6:05

well glad I was here. I went to the National Comedy

6:08

Center in Jamestown, New York this

6:10

weekend. We're

6:12

in Cleveland, Erie, Pennsylvania. Wonderful

6:15

times there. And this center

6:18

is awesome.

6:21

It's awesome. It's

6:23

really, you know, you can do a

6:26

lot of stuff. And

6:28

they just have so much stuff,

6:32

like interactive there, that

6:34

you can go do and learn about comedy and learn about,

6:36

you know, TV shows. And they have, they

6:41

have TV shows, they have movies. You can do

6:43

who's on first. I was able to film

6:45

a video. I think I might

6:47

have had it. Maybe I could show it.

6:50

But it's like I just stand, I sit

6:52

there and with, you know, they take your picture

6:55

and then you, it's like AI. Like you just,

6:57

it looks like you're standing with, you

6:59

know, Abbott and Costello. You're, which

7:01

one? Oh, that's awesome. The big

7:04

guys. Yeah. But are. I

7:06

don't remember which one's which. I don't know. The tall

7:08

ones Abbott. Yeah, okay. Costello. So you're

7:10

Costello. And then you just read the line.

7:13

But I mean, it looks like you're, you're

7:16

just faces in there. Oh, that's

7:18

fun. Yeah. And

7:20

so it was, yeah,

7:23

it was, it was just really cool, cool experience. Do they

7:25

have a hall of fame? Is it like, you

7:27

can get inducted into them? No, that

7:29

thing was the best too. The,

7:33

you can get on stage. I have,

7:35

we have this video of all this, but

7:38

you can get on stage and like I did a Seinfeld

7:40

joke. And so they,

7:43

I did the Halloween, Halloween joke, you know, about trick

7:46

or treating, what do you want? You know, kids, you first

7:48

time you hear about it, you know, what,

7:50

who's giving Cabrayan candy? Who's giving money?

7:53

Everyone's giving candy. So

7:55

then you go on stage with a microphone

7:57

that works. And then they,

8:00

like karaoke but stand up. So

8:02

then it's going like, all right, here's it

8:04

lights and shows you when to say it and stuff.

8:07

And you can then so people can go in there

8:10

and just try to be like try to

8:12

tell one of the jokes. And

8:14

it was it was super cool. That

8:19

that was very cool. And then they have, they

8:22

have Carolina's on Broadway. In New

8:24

York, they have the they have the backdrop

8:27

of Caroline. Oh, yeah.

8:29

And the wall. So if

8:31

you care lines like did

8:33

y'all you did care lines? Y'all didn't

8:35

you ever go in there? It's an iconic

8:38

backdrop. Yeah, I can see it. Yeah,

8:40

yeah. And it's it's the

8:42

evening pulled up. I

8:44

saw a photo of all you guys with it

8:46

behind you. And I thought how did y'all I

8:49

didn't realize that's where that was. Where was

8:51

the photo? Oh, Michael clay. Yeah. Oh,

8:53

yeah. I

8:55

don't know if they're gonna have you just do the Carolina's. Oh,

8:58

yeah. Yeah. See what it looks like. Well, that's the logo

9:00

right there. Yeah, because they would have just got

9:03

it. Because the Carolina Carolina's shut down.

9:06

And that club

9:08

just it was it was. Yeah,

9:10

that back. I mean, it's crazy, man.

9:12

It's really, really crazy. When

9:14

you see it.

9:15

And like, I was I didn't know they had that.

9:19

And so it's me, Vecchione,

9:22

lock on Patterson was with us. Who's very,

9:26

very funny. Great, great, great, dude, great comedian.

9:28

And lock the lock was he didn't care lines,

9:31

but he was in LA. So but me

9:33

Julian, McCullough, Mike Vecchione,

9:36

Gary Veter. And so we all turn

9:38

the corner we all were started

9:40

there. So none of us know

9:42

that this is in there. And

9:45

I don't they I don't think you know, it's not like they

9:47

knew that they but they didn't know and

9:49

really thought of it. And we just turn a corner.

9:52

And it's like the four

9:54

of us are like, oh my gosh,

9:56

like we

9:58

stood against that wall. for years

10:01

years

10:02

When I was staying

10:04

in line and we spent the night for last comic stand once

10:07

stayed out all night spent the night Go

10:10

down there get told no leave Said

10:13

I mean just the contest The

10:16

like the they had the March Madness contest

10:18

Julian won the first one the first year.

10:21

I won the second year I think

10:23

hosted it one year I hosted it one year

10:25

Vater won it I think when you might make

10:27

you came in second place We brought up

10:29

that up quite a bit In the

10:31

Jerry Seinfeld comedian. It's it's

10:34

yes, I would have liked to have done that. Oh, yeah,

10:36

they never even went It's

10:38

well you can go stand there and like because

10:40

you you would you be leaning against the wall You

10:43

put your hand like guys would grab

10:45

we'd always like grab to kind of back the wall

10:47

There's like a place where there's a hole because

10:50

the walls white I mean, I was

10:52

really like that. They had that they had bar stools

10:55

in there from there They had

10:58

like it's just a real background.

11:00

They didn't just go. No, then they gave it to it Oh,

11:02

that's awesome. Caroline's closed, which was

11:04

just why are they close? I

11:07

don't know I mean, it's just you know, New York

11:09

and I think it's just is in Times Square.

11:11

It's the craziest spot for a club to be

11:13

in Yeah, and then New

11:15

York's just become so Times

11:18

Square specifically probably is insane

11:20

to try. It's a ping-pong place now

11:22

Okay, so they do pink you

11:25

can do you can play ping-pong down there

11:27

That's fun. And then just get my whole

11:29

my whole upbringing You just walk

11:31

down there and they're like, what's up ping pong? Yeah,

11:35

it's that you're like, I saw you open for Bruce

11:37

Bruce there. Yeah Yeah,

11:39

you say Bruce Bruce Dainvass

11:42

as the wrong Bruce Bruce Bruce. Yeah, yeah, Bruce is

11:44

the first Bruce Bruce Bruce Bruce. There you go That's

11:47

like, yeah that's all that story They

11:50

called his name I was in the green room

11:52

and I was hosting sold

11:55

out and I met him.

11:58

I've met him briefly very nice And

12:00

then, you know, I was the new comic, so I was just staying

12:02

out of the way. And so then I do it

12:04

and then they go, uh, I really

12:06

have features. So then Mark Theobald might've hosted

12:09

and then Mark, you know, he

12:11

goes, give it up for Bruce Bruce. And I've never seen this.

12:14

He doesn't like

12:16

I'm standing against the back wall. He's not coming out of

12:18

the green rooms. And I'm like, I'm

12:22

like, I don't know if he know, and I almost, and

12:25

thankfully I did not, but I almost

12:27

was about to be a joke. Cause you know,

12:29

they called your name name. And I thought,

12:32

like, I thought maybe didn't hear it. And

12:38

then it's like, no, there's music playing. And when

12:40

the music gets to a point, then he

12:42

walks out and it's a whole, and you're like, okay,

12:45

I believe you have a guy in front of him and behind security

12:49

that he was bigger than. Yeah. Uh,

12:52

I opened for Dominique one time and she would do

12:54

that. I would announce her name and

12:57

my wife said that she saw Dominique, like

12:59

Dominique, like was in the back of the room,

13:01

like poured something in her drink, mixed

13:04

it up, took her to, I had no idea.

13:06

I'm like Dominique. And

13:09

then I just stand in there. I'm like, what's going

13:11

on here? And then she eventually makes

13:13

her way to the stage. She's very funny

13:15

too. Bruce Bruce was one of my favorites. So he's very

13:18

funny. Yeah. Very fun. I mean,

13:20

would destroy it. Well, that's when,

13:22

I mean, I would learn a lot during that stuff. Is

13:24

because you learned that it's a show and

13:27

that's what it is. Like it's the,

13:29

that little extra buildup, that little extra,

13:31

everything is part of the whole experience.

13:34

Yeah. And so you're just, you

13:37

know, and then seeing him walk out to music and then

13:39

he sings the last song, the crowd sings the

13:41

song and you're like, yeah, dude, it's, it's

13:43

a pretty special thing. Like, you know, and you're

13:45

like, and then when you see it, you're back there. Like, oh, that

13:47

was awesome. Like, okay. I

13:50

used to just watch him on comic deal all the time. And,

13:53

and then I, when he came to Zany's, when I first moved

13:55

here, I went saw him at Zany's and it was like,

13:57

man, he just murdered. He killed so hard.

13:59

Yeah. It is why I hosted for

14:01

him. I could feel the I could feel the room

14:04

vibrating on my feet from the green room

14:06

Yeah, he was killing that hard. I remember the feature

14:09

his feature. I brought her on stage

14:11

and Then she walks out there. She

14:13

goes uh-uh She goes I

14:16

came all the way from Cleveland. That's

14:18

how you're gonna bring me out. Well, we're gonna

14:20

do is a redo Erin

14:22

get back out here So I come back out to reintroduce

14:25

her and the crowd's like going nuts So I like give

14:27

her a super over-the-top intro and

14:29

then she comes back out and I was just

14:32

started So I was like god, I messed this up.

14:34

Yeah, I was thinking that the whole show and then she comes

14:36

back She's like now I do that every show Well,

14:39

let me know next. Yeah, I don't

14:41

feel bad about myself the whole time. But

14:43

man this did you do it again? The other show

14:45

yeah all six shows that weekend. So you

14:47

didn't start playing into it. Yes, I would give her

14:50

a Purposefully bad in for

14:52

the first time because I knew I would have to do it again Yeah,

14:54

you're a great guy for that though

14:56

because you can turn it up. Yeah me

14:59

I'm like, I don't know how to bring you up

15:01

a different way. I mean

15:03

young I would have I would

15:06

have been I've been like, you know, you know, I Would

15:09

have went back out and been like this is the energy

15:11

I have. Yeah This is

15:13

all I got. I don't know what you want to

15:15

do. Yeah Yeah,

15:18

that would be tough. Yeah, I mean it's yeah

15:21

Well, I wasn't really prepped that we'd be doing

15:23

two intro dude by the end of it. I was Perfect

15:30

guy for that. Yeah. Yeah.

15:33

Yeah. Yeah that worked out Yeah,

15:37

it's Talk about murder like it's

15:39

like that's what's so wonderful

15:41

about comedies like just

15:44

in a room and just people Not

15:47

being able to breathe because they're laughing so like there

15:49

is no there really isn't I

15:52

don't think there's anything better than that Because

15:54

it's the most honest You

15:57

know, they don't want to be doing that.

15:59

That's That's what I like about it. I mean, they

16:01

want to laugh, but when

16:04

you can really get the crowd going, they're

16:06

past the point of going like,

16:09

I don't want to be laughing. It's an involuntary reflex.

16:12

Yeah. Yeah. Aaron

16:14

sent me some video. It's a lady and she's

16:16

going out and she's like pulling drinks

16:19

out of her shirt and she's got a glass

16:21

in there. And it is like,

16:25

I've never seen people laugh so hard

16:27

in my life. How would you even follow

16:29

your own opening joke?

16:31

You got to do a set after that. Yeah.

16:35

Good stuff. It's tough to go from that

16:37

and be like, well, I was in the Home Depot there.

16:40

Yeah. Yeah. You

16:42

got to start with whatever you start with is like got to be your,

16:44

you got to kind of ride that through and

16:47

make sure you're able to sustain

16:49

that. Yeah. Short sets, you

16:51

could do it. Long sets are a little

16:53

bit. You got to do an hour after this. Yeah. I've

16:56

seen comics though that have hit a prop

16:58

on them, the whole set. And at the very end, they

17:00

pull it out. Oh yeah. You hit that the whole

17:02

time. Oh yeah. That was not

17:04

worth it. Yeah. Well, Chris Killian, you

17:07

know, that we all know, he famously had a

17:09

closer where he would pull a rose

17:11

out of his pants at the end of

17:13

the show that he had had in there the whole

17:15

show. I mean, I've worked the road with

17:17

Chris all over the place. That would murder

17:20

for him every time. I mean, he

17:22

might not even have the best set the

17:24

whole time, but at the end. It doesn't matter.

17:27

That would murder. I mean,

17:29

he had a little dance that he did and it

17:31

was like every time. I mean, I watched

17:33

these hotel conference

17:36

room comedy shows we would do. And

17:38

I mean, it would just, he

17:40

would just. He'd bring a guy on stage and dance

17:42

around. Yeah. Yeah.

17:45

Yeah. Yeah. I

17:47

worked with him too. Yeah. Yeah. It

17:50

was destroyed. John Chris tells a story. I don't

17:52

think he'd buy me saying this, but Chris Killian opened for him once, buried him just with

17:54

that closer. Oh yeah. And

17:56

there was no green room. So John went to the bathroom

17:58

and he sat in the bathroom. bathroom after

18:00

the show just so you wouldn't have to see people

18:03

and just one by one he'd hear people walk

18:05

in and go man That last guy's stuck I

18:12

Love that. Yeah, good stuff. Yeah,

18:14

I mean that that closer that he had I mean it

18:17

was a killer the yeah,

18:19

so the comments in his Jameson New York's were Lucille

18:21

balls from and It

18:24

was very it's very new. It's five You

18:26

know, it's like five years I think I've

18:29

dead the Lucille ball comedy festival I was I did

18:31

their first one 2011 or when

18:34

they it was the hundred-year Lucille

18:36

ball would have been a hundred years old when I did it and

18:40

so Because

18:42

they were gonna make a thing about her there

18:45

and then she's like we should make it about all of comedy

18:48

And so it's you know, there's coral rind or stuff.

18:50

They have Mel

18:53

Brooks, they have a lot like a lot of stuff. There's some Seinfeld

18:55

stuff But I mean the fact that how much they show

18:57

a stand-up It's really I mean

19:00

really really interactive like

19:03

just some fun little things

19:05

and they have they have like a Blue

19:08

room downstairs, which I thought was kind

19:10

of cool It's like, you know, cuz you you want families

19:13

in there and stuff But you know

19:15

the art to the dirty they have

19:17

you know You got a you're if you're not old enough

19:19

your wristband use a wristband to open

19:21

the thing your wristband went open the door So

19:23

if a kid tried to go down there alone, okay

19:26

a parent can take them kid down there Yeah, but it's

19:28

like but then once you go down there, it's it's

19:30

its own Like kind of thing

19:32

with the you know more George Carlin stuff and the roast

19:34

and all that kind of oh, yeah Like

19:37

that kind of stuff But George

19:39

Carlin scroll of euphemisms

19:41

here. Yeah, well, they

19:44

you know The cool thing too was like they

19:46

for for us comedians that imagine

19:48

for you know, I'm sure everybody but

19:51

I could you could see the notes Like

19:53

danger field like one of his like notes

19:56

and set list. Wow, that's awesome. And so

19:58

you're seeing them that you're like, oh they were I wrote,

20:00

I write a set list out. They

20:03

also write a set list out. And so they

20:06

wrote, he wrote, hey, how's everybody doing?

20:12

And he printed these two times. So

20:15

say it twice. Like that

20:17

exact, which I never did that. But

20:19

it's, how you doing? How you doing?

20:22

But his act, when you see it now, you're like,

20:24

yeah, it's a rhythm base. So it's kind

20:26

of like, I bet that gets him those

20:29

first, and he probably needs those two lines to

20:32

get into his rhythm and you get

20:34

into his rhythm, is what I would imagine. And

20:37

that's why you're like, go up there, say it. How

20:40

you doing, folks? How you doing, folks? The other

20:42

day, and then you're just, you're into that.

20:44

And that's like what you gotta do to get on in.

20:48

There's this issue, you can see it. Carlins, he

20:50

had some of his sets there. And it's

20:53

just, these guys

20:55

wrote all this stuff out. And it's

20:57

just like, in your head, you

20:59

don't know what they were doing back then. But

21:02

it's like, no, they were prepared. They

21:04

were. Any of your stuff in there? No.

21:08

I have a video, I was in a couple of video interviews.

21:10

We always think about. I did an interview for them though. They had one of

21:12

your poop shell necklaces. Yeah. Yeah,

21:15

yeah, I left mine, yeah. Well, you

21:17

think about these guys. I left a hat on accident, and

21:19

I was like, I'll just see what happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

21:21

Walked out, I go, oh, dropped my hat. Hope

21:24

it's hanging up in there somewhere. They

21:26

mail it to you. Yeah. You left your

21:28

hat here. Yeah, I know. Yeah,

21:30

y'all could have kept it. This is a hat

21:33

Nate wore when he came to visit. And they're

21:35

like, what? Yeah. No one wants

21:37

that. I

21:40

think I could, I'll probably give them stuff.

21:43

If they receive, I didn't have anything in there. I

21:46

don't have anything in there. It's all the

21:48

guys that have been around for a long time. But

21:51

yeah, I mean, you would definitely eventually, if

21:53

hopefully they continues, give

21:55

them stuff. A lot of sign

21:57

files. I mean, it's very, very cool. Standup

22:00

is becoming its own thing. It's

22:06

a much more mainstream thing

22:09

than it ever has been. So something

22:11

like this is people

22:13

are going to want to go see it and they're going to want to

22:15

go and see how hard, not to ever act like

22:18

we're doing something hard, but how exact

22:27

comedy can be. James Gregory always

22:29

said that there's more people that do brain

22:31

surgery than do stand-up comedy for

22:34

a living. And I don't know if that's true, but

22:37

it may be. Yeah, let's hope so.

22:39

I'll counter that. There are way more bad comedians

22:41

than there are bad brain surgeons, I have to say.

22:44

I've seen a lot more. Yeah. Well,

22:46

because anybody can be a bad comedian. That's what

22:49

I'm saying. But I mean, I think that's what it is. He's

22:51

saying like that. Do this well,

22:55

professionally. Right. More brain surgeons.

22:57

To do it professionally, there's like a level

23:00

and it's the amount of years where

23:02

someone has to be. And that is a special.

23:06

Yeah. That's like to- A bad brain surgeon

23:08

kills somebody. Yeah, you can't just, there's

23:11

not like open mic brain surgery,

23:13

you know? Yeah. I think when

23:15

you're on the show- Show up, go up. Yeah. You

23:18

don't just update your Facebook profile

23:20

to be brain surgeon. Yeah. You

23:23

know? Yeah. You don't

23:25

just go from nothing to Madison Square Garden and brain

23:27

surgery. Yeah. There's no buildup,

23:30

you know. Not even a radio city in the middle?

23:33

Nothing. Yeah. They

23:35

go, they let you give it a go on Bates.

23:38

They go, when he's 94, they go, all right, we

23:40

got a guy. He's

23:44

like, I'll do it. I'll let you mess around in there. The

23:46

open mic. The open mic. Yeah.

23:49

Maybe they do. Maybe they have, you know, maybe there's- There's

23:51

just a guy, John Smith brain surgeon Facebook page. Yeah.

23:55

You haven't even done surgery yet. You call yourself a brain

23:57

surgeon? Yeah. Maybe they're people are hard up

23:59

for brain surgery. surgery. They're like, I'll let anybody. When

24:01

you go do the $5 haircut. Yes. It's

24:04

maybe they do that. Maybe you go. Yeah,

24:06

I'll give it a go. $5 brain surgery. Yeah. And

24:09

it might be worth it. Yeah. Yeah.

24:11

Just for the practice. That's right.

24:16

Do you remember what you were saying? Well,

24:18

I was going to say about, you're talking about

24:20

set list of people doing

24:22

it. It's like you always think of these people as like legends

24:25

and like Rodney Dangerfield, but it's

24:27

like at some point, they

24:30

were real nervous about doing

24:32

a comedy show. They were like, he

24:34

has these famous Johnny Carson things where

24:36

he's sitting on there and it's like, but probably

24:38

that was worked out a bit and

24:40

probably Rodney Dangerfield

24:42

was nervous doing that. Now

24:45

we watch it and we go, this guy's amazing. And

24:47

he is, but he was probably

24:49

nervous before he went out there. Oh yeah. You

24:52

know? And he said, no respect.

24:54

And it's probably because he probably

24:56

was not getting a lot of respect for a long

24:58

time. Well, he wasn't. I mean, he was 50. Yeah.

25:01

So his own up there. Yeah.

25:04

That's his hero. Yeah. Yeah. It

25:07

is. I mean, I love Rodney

25:09

Dangerfield. Look at Kelly all the way. Give me a break. Yeah. Yeah.

25:13

You got it too quick. Yeah. Yeah.

25:16

What are you talking about? More

25:19

yet? I

25:22

was in Little Rock, Arkansas at

25:24

the Studio Theater Saturday night. Great show.

25:26

A lot of folks came out. Somebody brought me. I meant

25:29

to bring it to you. I forgot a ziploc bag of leaves

25:31

to give you. Oh yeah. So that's what people are bringing

25:33

now. Come on now. Leaves. Give

25:36

me the leaves. He's like, I brought you something. I'm all excited.

25:38

What's it going to be? It's just a bag of leaves for you.

25:40

Maybe it's a new merch for you. Yeah. So

25:42

dust these leaves after the show. Or maybe a currency.

25:45

You can pay for things with leaves.

25:48

Oh. Are you still needing more? Well, I

25:50

don't need any more. But I'll take them. OK.

25:53

People want to put their address. They live

25:55

in Nashville. And they want to put their address down. I'll come

25:57

pick them up. I

26:00

have too many people trying to get there. How

26:02

many leaves can you have? Well, when

26:04

you mulch them down, if you run over them with a

26:06

lawnmower, they really kind of go

26:09

down to nothing. You can use a lot.

26:12

I have nine acres out in McMinnville that

26:14

I can spread leaves out on. I'm

26:16

all about it. I would like this to get to a point where

26:18

it's a problem, where you have too many

26:20

leaves. One day in this five

26:23

days, I go, all right, dead

26:25

serious, everybody. I can take

26:27

no more leaves. I

26:29

don't know how else to say this,

26:32

but we're good on leaves. I

26:34

have had more success in the neighborhood though.

26:37

People are giving me the leaves. Words

26:39

getting out. Yeah. I'm

26:41

not being a ... My neighbor

26:44

next to me let me rake his leaves. The one

26:46

that didn't want you to? No, no,

26:48

a different guy. Yeah. My

26:50

other neighbor, he said I was- That's how nice is that he let

26:52

you rake his leaves. Yeah. Well,

26:54

it's like, yeah. I mean, actually, he had really nice

26:57

grass. You tell him, and you

26:59

said to say thank you. Well, he said thank you

27:01

to me too, but I was thankful that

27:03

he gave me the leaves. You're going

27:05

to put them on nine acres. How often

27:07

do you guys do this? Well, they only

27:09

come in the fall. I just

27:11

thought, I got a lot out there. In Tennessee,

27:14

we got a lot of hard clay. It's

27:17

not good for planting things. If you

27:19

can build up a little topsoil, that

27:21

helps. That's what the leaves do. They

27:23

break down over time. What do you think? 2064, you

27:26

made a plant of flower? I

27:30

think in a year, you can do it. You

27:33

can get a good layer going. What's

27:35

in your backyard in Hermonish? What

27:38

is that you want it to be? Wildfire? Yeah,

27:40

I got clover, wildflowers. I

27:42

want it to be real bee

27:44

friendly, rabbit friendly.

27:47

So you won't be mowing it at all? Well,

27:49

I got, I'm going to do like the back half. A

27:52

lot of wildflowers. So the front, I

27:54

do want some lawn for my daughter to be able to

27:56

run around and play in. She gets

27:58

just a little, you think the rabbits get more Well,

28:01

you know, they can share some. My

28:03

daughter likes it too though because we get butterflies

28:06

and we got bees and we got, you

28:08

know, she likes the rabbits. She chases the rabbits

28:10

around. We got birds. I mean, it's

28:13

fun. It's a good time out there. I'm

28:16

gonna try to put up the bat house tomorrow. Oh,

28:19

yeah. That's

28:21

gonna be exciting. Yeah, that's a lot for

28:23

the neighborhood. Yeah, I've decided to get – I feel like

28:25

in a neighborhood, you're like, I hope we don't have bats. And they're

28:27

like, well, you can have one guy that wants the bats

28:29

to come. We're building them a home.

28:32

Well, you know, people spray for mosquitoes.

28:34

They spend all this money on pesticides for mosquitoes

28:37

and bats will just eat them. Yeah. And they

28:39

can give you rabies and do other stuff. Yeah,

28:42

but how often do you really hear about

28:44

someone getting bit by a bat? I don't think people – because they're

28:46

not attracting them to their homes. I was gonna say, I don't hear about

28:48

people building houses for them in their backyard though. Yeah,

28:51

they are though. Okay. Have

28:53

you seen someone have a bat house? Well,

28:56

my sister has one. Yes,

28:58

because as we go down this

29:01

one branch of tree of the dusty slain

29:03

family, you go – But I'm also –

29:06

I'm not talking to a lot of people about it yet.

29:08

So words getting out. I'm sure people will message

29:10

and let us know they have bat houses. Okay.

29:13

Does your HOA know about this? No,

29:15

but I mean, they're allowing chickens and stuff

29:17

like that. It's like, if you're gonna allow that, you gotta

29:19

let me have bats. Well,

29:23

we should go to this AJOI meeting and you –

29:25

the chicken and the – everybody's gotta vote. One

29:28

of them's gotta go. Yeah. And

29:30

then you gotta make your case for the bat. Well,

29:32

I decided against the owl house in

29:35

the neighborhood because I was told they will kill

29:37

chickens. So I didn't want to kill the neighbor's

29:39

chickens. Even though

29:41

I would really love to have some owls. I

29:44

think that'd be a lot of fun. Yeah. Owls –

29:46

they get mosquitoes too? No, they'll kill

29:48

rodents and stuff. So you could

29:50

have both. Yeah. How big is this

29:52

house? It's not very big. Oh. And

29:55

then the bat house – It's like a bird box. Yeah,

29:57

but like a slightly bigger bird box. Yeah. And

30:00

then the bat house is a real thin thing.

30:03

And I don't have the – because they say in a neighborhood,

30:06

you're probably not going to attract a whole family

30:09

of bats. So they got like what they call kind of a bachelor

30:11

bat house, where just some random

30:14

bats can live but not a whole

30:16

family. Yeah, it's fun. You're

30:18

getting the worst bats. You're getting

30:20

the ne'er-do-well of a bat world. Yeah,

30:23

they can't even stick with the family. I

30:25

think it's going to be great. If it ends up being

30:27

bad, I mean I'll retract my statement. Yeah.

30:30

I'm hoping you'll get rid of the bat. Yeah. Yeah,

30:33

I'll come in here and I'll go, I was wrong. Yeah.

30:36

No, you won't because you'll be dead. Well,

30:38

yeah. I mean if the bat

30:40

kills me – You're only going to be able to do this podcast at

30:42

night. Yeah. Yeah,

30:47

I mean maybe I'll get the superpowers. Yeah.

30:52

I mean that could be something, huh? Wait

30:54

a minute. I was in Little Rock. Yeah. Aaron?

30:59

I was across the border,

31:01

man. I was in Edmonton, Alberta. Oh, yeah. Canada

31:04

all weekend. Very

31:06

fun. I did five shows at the comic

31:08

strip. They were all – four of them

31:11

were great. And man,

31:14

a lot of people came out. It was

31:16

exciting to be in

31:18

another country doing comedy. I was at that mall for

31:21

four days. I was going a little

31:23

stir crazy by the end there. What happened

31:25

with the one? Oh, the one was just okay.

31:29

Oh, okay. You went to meat. I

31:31

did go to meat and other people recommended

31:33

meat too. Yeah. Meat

31:35

was pretty good. It was great, wasn't it? Yeah. Did

31:38

you do the thing that I was saying with the pickle and the mustard

31:40

and the meat on each bite? Oh, yeah.

31:42

They had all that sat out there on the table. Yeah. Yeah,

31:45

it was a really good spot. Edmonton, they make

31:47

you think everybody's going to be speaking French. I

31:50

know that that's the case other places, but Edmonton

31:52

just felt like – it felt like Iowa. Yeah.

31:55

No, very blue collar. As much as you

31:57

all were there. Yeah. It's more

31:59

that size. But when you fly into Edmonton, they're

32:02

doing the announcements. Because half the

32:04

country, or the Montreal, that

32:06

side, is a lot of Quebec.

32:09

That's all French. And some people in Alberta

32:11

speak it, but I'm not running

32:14

into it. Yeah, bilingual country. Everything has to

32:16

be in French. I was saying on stage, they did the announcements

32:18

in English and French, and I looked around the plane.

32:21

I was like, I don't think you need to do... Yeah. You

32:23

might need to do English twice. But yeah,

32:26

I didn't run into it at all. People were great. Thank

32:28

you to everybody that came. Do one more French. Yeah.

32:33

Alberta is a real ranching

32:36

part of the country. I think they do a lot of... That's

32:39

where the Kultur Wall is from, that country singer.

32:41

Oh, okay. That makes sense. Ranching

32:44

area, yeah. I had never heard he Kultur Wall. No, no.

32:46

He's just Kultur Wall. The Canadian accent. I'm

32:49

like an old man with... The Facebook. Yeah.

32:52

The Facebook.

32:53

The Kroger.

32:55

The Canadian accent's crazy, dude.

32:57

Like the people that really have it. It's wild.

33:00

I met a guy from Saskatoon on the elevator.

33:02

Saskatoon. And I could barely

33:04

understand what he was saying. He was a very friendly guy, but I didn't have

33:07

a clue what he was talking about. Told me his whole

33:09

life story. In the elevator? Yeah.

33:12

He saw I had a bag with a sticker on it. He's

33:14

like, what are you going to do? I don't

33:16

know, dude. I

33:18

don't speak French. It's

33:21

like their version of you, he's

33:24

got to talk to his version

33:26

of you. Like whatever. It's really

33:28

the same version of the person talking to you. You're

33:30

like, I don't know if this is going to go good. Y'all

33:34

might be on the same ideas, but

33:38

your accents are going to be... Wait, he had a French

33:40

accent?

33:41

No. No, he just had a real thick Canadian accent.

33:43

Oh, okay. I don't speak French. I

33:45

was like, yeah. Okay.

33:47

I was just saying I didn't understand it. I got

33:49

you. I was English. I got you.

33:51

But anyway, great weekend. Thank you to everybody that came. I

33:54

did a theater show in Chattanooga

33:56

at the Walker Theater. Sold out.

33:59

It was great. A lot of fun. Saw

34:01

some old friends in Chattanooga. Eric

34:04

Lones came out and hang out. A

34:07

host of the comedy cat. Eric Lones.

34:09

Eric Lones, yeah. And he came

34:11

out and then we, and then

34:14

I did Bowling Green. Theater in Bowling

34:16

Green, the Sky Pack. Yeah. It

34:18

was awesome. A lot of fun. They gave me, I

34:20

got a gift basket from a candle place and I forgot

34:23

the name of it and I meant to talk about it.

34:25

And a guy gave me this hat off his head. That

34:27

Nate on it? That does look

34:30

a bit like Nate on it. I don't think it is though. There's

34:32

a chance I might have was supposed to

34:34

get tickets for someone to that show for you. Okay.

34:38

In Bowling Green? Yeah, my buddy Patrick. Well,

34:40

I hope he made it, but I don't know if he did. It

34:42

was a great show. I did and I don't know. Well, I

34:44

don't, cause I, but that probably, I was like, yeah, yeah,

34:46

let me see. Like cause I've known Patrick to start

34:48

it. And

34:51

then I don't think I've ever got

34:53

past that point. And now that you're, I

34:55

just picture Patrick standing outside. I

34:58

mean, like, no, no, no, no, no. I'm friends with Nate. Yeah.

35:01

Well, I did an hour and 25 minutes of that show.

35:04

Whoa. And I'm like, that's what I'm talking about. I'm

35:06

in the theater vibe. I could easily

35:08

be up there for two hours. You let your opener do three

35:10

minutes? Yeah. I mean, that's

35:13

where I'm at. I want someone to just go

35:15

out and bring me out. What do you, you

35:17

want to be there for two hours? I mean, I got, I

35:19

get into it. I love it out there. I

35:21

probably should just, you know, sell enough tickets to

35:23

do two shows and that would satisfy it. Yeah.

35:28

It feels good. I mean, I'm out there. Yeah.

35:31

What do you have? Just one, one opener. Yeah.

35:34

Yeah. And Chatternouga, I got my, my old friend

35:36

from Charleston, Vince Faber to come and do a set too. And

35:39

that was fun. Yeah. Do a, you know,

35:41

have a buddy that kind of started comedy

35:43

with me, but he doesn't really do comedy a

35:45

ton now. He's getting back into it, but like

35:48

started comedy with me where we would work these

35:51

road shows where no one would show up and

35:53

then we would split the money. And now he's opening

35:55

for me at a sold out theater show. Oh my, that's

35:57

pretty awesome. Yeah. Yeah,

36:01

he's that awesome for yeah, yeah, well,

36:03

we know who's for me. I guess yeah Yeah,

36:07

yeah, I was thinking about him while I was saying it, but

36:09

I guess it is just awesome for me. Yeah Yeah,

36:12

you gave him no money Yeah You

36:16

ain't split tonight He

37:40

I wanted to say though at the Bowling Green show we

37:42

had a driver doing time I can't

37:44

we had a Driver

37:47

pick us up from the hotel and take us to

37:49

the venue and she was driving pretty wild Yeah,

37:51

and with me and Alec parent

37:54

the guy opening for me. We both got a little car

37:56

sick on the way I mean

37:58

I get vertigo and stuff now I'm like I

38:00

could never do an amusement park. But

38:03

he got real sick. So

38:05

he was supposed to do 25. He ended up

38:07

doing 15. And he was like,

38:09

I could see him on stage. He put his

38:11

coat on. I mean he was struggling.

38:14

He was a pretty high energy

38:16

guy. And he was real low energy. He

38:18

was trying. He was fumbling on his

38:20

jokes. And he would look over at me and

38:22

make eye contact and I'd just be dying back

38:25

there. I mean I loved it. And yeah,

38:27

he was struggling. How long was the drive?

38:30

Eight minutes. And it did you that?

38:33

I mean I got a little, I

38:35

was like, oh gosh, what's going on here? And

38:37

then, but I was fine. Were you sitting in the front? Yeah.

38:40

Well, the front, the

38:42

front helps a lot. I mean I'm always a little sick. But

38:45

if you're in the back, you can really hit with some cars. Yeah.

38:48

Yeah. So yeah, so you were, that

38:50

makes sense because you were in the front. Yeah. But

38:54

it's, I would think. He jumped out

38:56

of the car. He goes, was that driving insane or

38:58

what? And the woman's still standing right there. Well,

39:01

to me we'll get inside. Something like a maniac. Well,

39:04

she's probably nervous because you jumped up front. Yeah,

39:06

that's right. Yeah. Yeah.

39:10

I mean the whole thing was probably

39:13

not a great vibe. Yeah. I'm

39:15

sure everybody's happy to get out of that car. This

39:19

week, so you got Mitch Dallas

39:21

Owens. I spit out my coffee

39:24

when Nate said breakfast looks like the character

39:26

in a video game before you pick anything. If

39:30

Vayt's is the character before you pick anything, then

39:32

Dusty's the character after you pick one of everything. That is very

39:34

good. You get all the accessories. Yeah.

39:38

Great point. Matt

39:41

McNaughton. Matt McNaughton. Matt

39:43

McNaughton. Matt McNaughton. That's a lot.

39:46

Yeah. Matt McNaughton. That's

39:48

a lot of stuff. Matt. McNaughton

39:50

is a mouthful in itself. If it was

39:52

Matt McNaughton, it'd be easy. Yeah. It's

39:55

Matt McNaughton. So you got to be, I bet

39:58

he's been a lot of time in school where they go.

39:59

Matt He

40:02

just has to go here He's

40:05

here. We had a cat run away

40:07

once

40:08

Are you ladies someone put a missing cat poster

40:10

up on our complex bulletin board? It

40:13

was a picture of our cat Someone

40:15

else That's

40:18

very Thank you. Just gotta kind of let it go.

40:20

Yeah, like I get it that cats

40:22

free wants to be on the run Yeah, yeah, it's

40:25

like a bad house. Yeah

40:27

Cats wouldn't really they don't go in families either

40:30

No, I don't think so. I mean,

40:32

maybe you could put up a wild cat house. Just

40:34

see what comes I have trouble picturing your

40:36

neighborhood in my head. I I Picture

40:40

my neighborhood when I was in hermene's

40:42

but it was a cul-de-sac. It was you know, yeah, I'm

40:45

gonna call it I saw your size no sidewalk

40:47

in my okay. Okay, that's all it needs in there

40:49

The sidewalk ends before you there is

40:51

a sidewalk in the neighborhood, but it ends before you

40:55

That says a lot we're a tight cul-de-sac

40:57

though, we're all buddies down there. No, no, I yeah,

40:59

I'm not I But I'm just saying

41:01

the vibe of cul-de-sac that was allowed

41:04

chickens and bath houses and all this. Yeah,

41:06

you got going on We

41:08

don't encourage walkers down there.

41:10

Yeah, I don't yeah in my head

41:12

you're I'm picturing, you

41:14

know a sidewalk neighborhood

41:17

and

41:18

But then what you're saying I'm like, this feels

41:21

weird to fit in that sidewalk But when you

41:23

say there's no sidewalk It's like

41:25

kind of like don't I try to give people a

41:27

dirty look when I know they don't live in the

41:29

cul-de-sac But yet they're driving down there.

41:32

I'm trying to give him a dirty look like what are you doing down

41:34

here? Well, they're praying trying

41:36

to see the wildlife. Yeah going on.

41:38

Yeah kids. Yeah. Yeah, I just

41:41

that still do it though Yeah, you like the

41:43

burbs. Yeah that movie Go,

41:45

what's going on? Guess which part you are Patrick

41:50

McCormick Aaron shouldn't worry

41:52

about the awkward Brad Paisley meeting who

41:54

meets someone and ask and what do you

41:56

like to do? It's like asking how

41:59

have you been this year? How

42:01

have you been this year is kind of a good question. Yeah,

42:05

I mean, more of an honest question of when

42:07

you see, you know, the casual, Kate, Quayton,

42:10

as you see go, how's the year been going? That's

42:12

going great, man. Yeah, it actually would feel that

42:15

actually, yeah, actually, it might

42:17

be a nice thing to say to people, because

42:19

you got to be like, well, everybody's busy, you go, how's your

42:21

year going so far? Years going great. You

42:23

know, it's better than how's the day. Yeah, who cares about

42:25

the day? Nothing. Nothing. This

42:29

person might have just got me into

42:31

asking people, how's your year been going? Which

42:34

is a much more interesting question. Well,

42:37

he had a lot more that I cut out. I mean,

42:39

he was saying basically, that's a Santa Claus question like,

42:41

how have you been this year? How's your little

42:43

brother? Oh, okay. But I get that

42:45

idea. I get the idea of you walking to a gas station

42:47

to cash your goods. How you doing? You go,

42:50

how's your year been? That's funny to me,

42:52

but I do like it. But I mean, I think

42:54

just for your acquaintances

42:56

that you are seeing would be a good thing.

42:59

Like if you see a comic at the airport or something.

43:01

Yeah. How's your year been? But

43:03

it might even be a good question. I have

43:06

a gas station. Like how's your year been going? How's

43:08

your year been? Rob, three times. It's

43:10

a good question in like March,

43:13

but in November, that's a weird question.

43:15

Might be tough. Yeah. How's

43:18

your year been? You mean the whole thing? Yeah.

43:20

Well, yeah. That's a good question, I think, because now you

43:22

have more to reflect on. Yeah. You

43:25

didn't go, you know, not been bad. I go, the beginning

43:27

of the year is still slow. Summer, we went

43:29

on a trip in summer, so that was nice. And you got Christmas.

43:32

And then you're like, all right. You kind of almost can

43:35

capture that person and who they are. Yeah.

43:38

Now, if you catch the wrong person, it's like it's been tough.

43:40

You know, how's your year been going? But

43:42

they tend to like to tell you too. Yeah. Don't

43:45

find a way to squeeze. Yeah. They

43:47

want to just say it. They want to go, how's your year been? They're like, I've been

43:49

waiting for this. Yeah. I've been walking

43:51

around basically wanting people to ask me this. You

43:54

get it with that, just saying that if

43:57

the person get answered. It

44:00

would probably take a long time to get people used to that question.

44:03

But if someone's like, how are your years, you know, someone's

44:05

like, how's my year been going? Yeah, it'd

44:07

be insane. You'd be like, you know, the Bridgestone

44:10

this year, SNL, it's been just

44:12

wild. They go, man, that's crazy. Yeah,

44:15

you're the wrong person to ask. Yeah. Yeah.

44:18

You'll really bring people down. I'll tell you.

44:20

Yeah. Yeah. I

44:23

don't know. I think it really, it's

44:25

a question that would catch people off guard. People

44:27

are ready, a lot of people are ready for a small talk answer

44:29

with how's your day going? Maybe

44:31

even how's your week? But how's

44:34

a year going? People

44:36

are like, what? I do think it's up it. How's your

44:38

decade been? Yeah. How's

44:40

your family? Well, you know, how's your family been

44:42

has would be a year to five

44:44

year question. Yeah. If you came up

44:46

and asked some of that, how's your family been?

44:49

That might be a 20 year, if you see someone

44:51

of 20 year reunion, how's your family been?

44:54

That's, that's a giant question. Go right into talk

44:56

to me about the development of your family. Go

44:59

for a question like that. That's

45:02

a crazy way to work. Yeah. I

45:04

think about the development of your family. Yeah.

45:07

They leave because I don't think Dusty knows what a family

45:10

is trying to get answers. What

45:12

is a family to you? Do you

45:14

remember when I was thinking about

45:17

awkward encounters with celebrities? I've had many. Yeah.

45:20

When I met the Titan guy who lived in my building. Yeah.

45:24

So you can only imagine how this goes. A guy

45:26

who asked for an autograph of another high school

45:29

student. Right. There was a Titan, his name

45:31

was Rashard Matthews and he

45:34

came to the Titans. He lived

45:36

in my building. I met him when he was moving in and they

45:39

were showing him around. It was in my mail room. I

45:41

got a little too excited and I was asking a

45:43

lot of questions. He's being very friendly at first. And

45:46

then I kept going a little too deep. So

45:48

I was like, uh, cool, cool,

45:50

cool. You know, and I was telling, I said, well, what unit do you live

45:52

in? And he got real

45:55

quiet real quick and I could realize, I realized

45:57

like he didn't want to tell me.

45:59

them out and I'm like, you don't

46:02

know yet? And you're like, nah, I don't know yet, which

46:04

is ridiculous. You just gave them an out. Yeah. And,

46:07

uh,

46:09

to me, it's like, if you lived in an HOA

46:11

and you're in the HOA office and somebody new moves in,

46:13

you'd might ask what house is yours. So

46:15

to me, it was the same thing, but yeah, but a house is more

46:18

committed where an apartment is

46:20

more, I don't, you, people are coming and going.

46:22

I mean, people could live there for

46:24

six months, especially the football

46:27

player could live there for a month. Yeah.

46:29

Especially the day you move in. Yeah. I'll

46:32

help you. Yeah. How soon did he move out? Well,

46:35

pretty soon, but I doubled down because

46:38

he lived one floor below me. And

46:40

yeah. And I

46:42

was just looking for it. I

46:47

was always around. So then one day I'm downstairs

46:50

and it's early morning and just happened. PK,

46:52

Sue band walks out. Now PK, Sue band play

46:54

for the predators. One of the more famous hockey players,

46:57

Nate, Jalen. He's got a fur coat on a big hat

47:00

and he comes out and I like PK. And

47:02

I'm like, Hey, could I get a selfie with you? And

47:05

he was very nice. And why, I don't know why I said this

47:07

because he was coming out for shards for, I said,

47:09

were you visiting Rashard? I don't

47:11

know why I said that. And he didn't even answer.

47:14

He just ignored the question, but it was the dumbest

47:16

thing

47:17

for me to say. Yeah. This

47:19

was before he had a family. That's why he, this

47:22

is why the family has really helped

47:24

the dates out.

47:25

I don't think you have any sense there. I don't think

47:28

it's as bad as like,

47:30

you know, you had, you had a lot of free time.

47:32

And so you

47:34

see PK, you're like, Hey, I've been outside 12

47:37

times. Hope it's somebody. That's

47:39

how you recover. Yeah. You go, Oh, I have

47:41

a family. You go, you visit

47:43

Rashard and he looks at you. Where'd you go? I have a family. I

47:45

have. Yeah. Now, well, now

47:48

you don't with a family. You're not

47:50

as like, you just got,

47:52

you know, you got your family to think about. I

47:54

don't know. Your life and family to think about. Brian

47:56

says he's had 20 cents.

47:59

Well, I mean, when.

47:59

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people

48:02

go up to famous people or comics and say,

48:04

you don't remember when we met? You don't know me? I

48:07

hate that. When Kevin Neeland was on this

48:09

podcast before we started, I

48:11

kind of did that to him.

48:13

He sat down. Now, Kevin and I have worked together

48:15

twice. I thought he would remember

48:17

me. He did not. And

48:20

then I thought, oh, he's going to remember it eventually. So

48:22

I'll just go ahead and tell him. So I was like, oh, we worked together.

48:25

And then he's like, well, oh, we did? And he's like, well,

48:27

how are we? And I said, well,

48:30

through your wife, which is such a weird thing

48:32

to say. And I met his wife because

48:34

she was in the green room at Zany's. So she was on Parks and Recreation.

48:37

And I remembered her. He's like, how do you know Susan? I

48:39

was like, from Parks and Recreation, which sounds like

48:41

that. Not a good. Yeah. Like

48:44

you don't hear that. Oh, from TV, from a

48:46

poster on my wall. Well, I thought

48:48

it sounded like I worked on Parks and Rec or something.

48:50

And he thought, oh, no. And I don't think he took

48:52

that. Yeah. No, what

48:55

do you think Kevin Neeland thought? And

48:58

Nate's got some kind of staff down there. This guy

49:00

left

49:00

Parks and Rec to go post a

49:02

podcast. What kind of podcast

49:05

is this? Maybe

49:07

that's why Kevin did it.

49:09

Maybe he regrets doing it now. He's like, I

49:11

thought you guys were the guy who was.

49:13

Hopefully not listening to this episode. And I don't

49:16

know. I mean, the showrunner for Parks

49:18

and Rec. Yeah, we

49:21

got him down here. I just kept digging deeper into

49:23

it. What hotel you staying at? What

49:26

hotel room? Nate hanging out later. We are going

49:28

to go. I know from Parks and Rec. And you're

49:30

like, oh, I get it. I did not work

49:32

on that show. Thanks for it.

49:35

And then he's got to be like, oh,

49:37

yeah. I didn't think you did. I

49:39

thought you were asking generally the way you're asking,

49:42

which is the wrong way to ask. Yeah. The

49:45

Parks and

49:46

Rec. That's funny. Well, anyway, I kept digging myself

49:48

in a deeper hole. So there

49:51

you go. So don't feel bad about Brad P.

49:53

They always say, whenever you think about

49:55

your own awkward moments, try to think about somebody

49:58

else's awkward moments. And it's pretty hard.

49:59

to do. You

50:01

know what I mean? You're just thinking me? No,

50:03

I don't even, I can't remember. I mean, the

50:06

stories you tell are funny, but I can't think of anybody

50:09

else's weird, awkward moments, you know? Just

50:12

something to think about.

50:13

Brian Dorfman, I saw him chest eyes a comic

50:15

in Zany's Green Room for doing that, wasn't

50:17

me.

50:18

But

50:20

Kirk Herbstree came in the Green

50:22

Room and the guy was kind of like,

50:24

you don't remember it? Like, where we met? Kirk's

50:26

like,

50:27

oh, I'm sorry, I don't.

50:28

And then when Kirk Herbstree left, Dorfman

50:30

said, don't ever do that. I mean, this guy sees a

50:32

million people. Yeah, it's such a weird thing

50:35

to do. It's like, really, you do meet a bunch

50:37

of people. I remember a lot of people, but sometimes,

50:40

yeah, you don't. Oh, yeah. I mean, you might see

50:42

people a few times a year and then

50:45

be like, it's just not, because it's out

50:47

of the context. Because you see them, that's

50:49

the thing with, we're seeing them in so many

50:52

different places. Yeah.

50:53

That's why it's so hard to remember. I

50:55

remember I went to the place,

50:57

but it's like, oh, we met, we went out

50:59

to eat after and you're like, I went out to every

51:02

city in America this year. Yeah. And

51:05

so like, I mean, maybe I like, I mean, odds

51:07

are like, I'm saying you won't, but it

51:09

could be as big as that. You're like, no, we hung

51:11

out. And you're like, you know, it's

51:13

like, nothing you're trying not to be like,

51:15

I don't know, you know, you just thinking, I mean,

51:18

I forget my whole, I thought this weekend, I

51:20

don't know my, I don't think I could do the Hello

51:22

World special

51:24

right now. I

51:25

was like, think about it. If I had to go do that, if he

51:27

was like, go repeat that. I don't, I

51:29

don't know if I could. Yeah. My

51:31

brain is so into this new hour that

51:33

I would, I'm like, I don't think I could

51:37

even start. I don't, couldn't do the Schill's joke.

51:39

I kind of remember the jokes, but

51:41

it's like, I couldn't do the Schill's joke. I

51:44

don't think I could do, I wouldn't remember

51:47

even the Christian parents. Like

51:49

if I got the rhythm started with, I could get

51:51

it probably quicker, but I have to really

51:54

go work at it. Somebody yelled out a joke

51:56

to me and Bo and green, one of my older jokes

51:58

that I don't do it all anymore. And I was like, I was

52:01

like, I'd like to do this joke for them, but

52:03

it took me a minute. I went through other

52:05

jokes while trying to think of how

52:08

this joke went. And I did get it, and I

52:10

did it, but it took me a minute. It's like, I

52:12

don't just know all the jokes. So that's how

52:14

you're getting to an hour-course off. Were you taking

52:16

requests? I did do that one

52:18

joke, yeah. I mean, that joke was like a minute.

52:21

I mean, yeah. I mean, I'm ready.

52:25

I got lots of jokes. I mean, it's like, I

52:27

don't know. I love, the theater

52:29

world is fairly new to me, and I'm- Soaking it up.

52:32

Yeah, I'm into it. I

52:34

had a real ego check this weekend.

52:36

I have a long bit about

52:38

beef jerky that I've been doing

52:41

for a while. And this guy sitting

52:43

in the front row at the show,

52:45

I looked during my set, I looked down, he's got a huge

52:47

bag of beef, like a huge bag of beef jerky on a stable.

52:51

I was like, oh, did you bring that for me? And he's

52:53

like, what? I

52:56

go, you bring it for my beef jerky thing? He goes, I don't

52:58

even know who you are. He just bought

53:01

a bunch of beef. I was like, I feel like an idiot.

53:07

I'm like, oh, this is so cool. This guy brought me beef

53:09

jerky. Nah, it's just a guy from Canada. Yeah, I'm

53:11

good, man. How's the beef jerky? They

53:15

went and I worked it into that thing. Yeah, yeah,

53:17

it was good. And then he gave me something after. It was really good. Just

53:19

right out of the bag? Right out of the bag. Some

53:22

loose ones. Just been touched by a bunch of strangers'

53:24

hands. It was solid. That

53:27

is, that describes

53:29

Canada. I mean, Edmonton. Real

53:31

beef country. Yeah. The fact that a guy,

53:33

that you're looking at that comfortable, would bring a bag of beef

53:35

jerky. And sitting it on a table. You don't have it

53:37

under your seat. It's beef jerky smells.

53:40

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was

53:42

like we did. My dad, Abigail,

53:45

they went to my nephew's basketball game. She

53:48

posted a picture of it. But he's eating

53:50

a hot tuna sandwich that

53:53

he made from home. In

53:55

a gym. In a gym. And

53:57

they're just, his hair is a master. He's

54:00

just eating his hot tuna sandwich. And

54:02

you're like, yeah, there's, I mean, everybody's

54:05

gonna smell that. The whole job, Jim, smells like tuna.

54:08

Because I'm watching my grandson. Can't

54:10

have a hot tuna sandwich. Can't have a...

54:13

Can't just eat a hot tuna sandwich. I mean... You

54:16

know. I went with a comic on the roll one

54:18

time, Jim Seward, and he put, he had

54:20

pastrami in a cooler in the

54:22

car. And every time he would open... I love

54:25

pastrami, but every time he would open this cooler,

54:27

it would just fill the car. It

54:29

was making me so sick. I'm like, this is disgusting.

54:32

Like of all the meats to put in a cooler.

54:34

You put pastrami in here? Yeah. Yeah, that's

54:38

what's hard about packing your lunch

54:40

or packing whatever is because

54:43

it's the smell. Yeah.

54:46

And it's like when they're like, oh, you have a cooler and

54:48

you do it and you're like, I don't want to... If I

54:50

smell it, that means everybody smells it. I

54:53

don't want to get used to the smell that I don't even

54:55

know what's happening. So you're just walking

54:57

around and you're like, I

54:59

don't... I mean, yeah, on a plane is

55:02

like, that's... I mean, they're... Laura

55:04

would do it, I think on purpose. Oh, yeah. With

55:06

me to bring something that I'm like, we can't be eating

55:08

that on this plane. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

55:10

The Charlotte Airport has a Popeye's

55:12

chicken in it and people buy that and bring it on a plane.

55:15

And I love fried chicken, but I'm like, it's

55:17

tough on a plane. It's a risky move. Yeah. Yeah.

55:20

That's... I mean, but it's tough

55:22

that they just... to put it in there, that's

55:24

a tough one for people to just... Yeah.

55:27

Not... I mean, because the airport is the only place where you're

55:29

like, well, I'm going to starve to death. Yeah.

55:32

So you can make the most excuses. Right. It's

55:34

the hardest place to stay, eat

55:36

healthy. I'll eat PF

55:38

chains at 7 a.m. Yeah. Yeah. Because

55:41

you're like, I don't... What am I going to do? I can't do

55:43

this. And so to have a Popeye's

55:45

next to it is like, what are you going to do? How

55:48

do you avoid smelling like smoke? Well,

55:50

last week... This is very exciting. I'm glad you brought this up,

55:52

Brian. Last week, the West

55:54

Coast legend himself, Snoop

55:56

Dogg, announced that he is done

55:58

with smoke. It's over. He's eliminating

56:01

Wow, how could that be that the

56:03

dog father could be going to smokeless?

56:06

Well, we learned this week as it turns out

56:08

that he is going smokeless, but not in the

56:10

way you think He's actually joining forces

56:13

57:02

Yeah All right,

57:05

Thomas yours or did I do Patrick

57:07

McCormick? Yeah. Oh, yeah, Thomas yours

57:10

Eeyore yours EW er yours

57:12

yours Dusty

57:17

you said you wanted a bat colony to take care of mosquitoes

57:20

But your neighbors won't be happy with bats and

57:22

if you get tired of them the cost to relocate

57:25

is very expensive How could it be expensive hey

57:27

just take it down. Yeah You

57:30

should get peacocks or guinea hens

57:34

They not only mosquitoes but ticks

57:36

and other bugs as well each year the

57:38

peacocks shed their feathers So you

57:40

get free peacock feathers, which you already

57:43

in the whole bind of so guineas

57:47

Offer an excellent security system

57:49

as they let you know whenever anyone comes in your

57:51

yard Well Thomas, this is great

57:54

this seems much easier than bats yeah

57:59

Peacock is fun And who couldn't

58:01

use some extra peacock feathers? Yeah. You

58:03

know what I mean? Maybe saying the cost

58:05

to relocate for you is very expensive.

58:10

He says your neighbors won't be happy with bats.

58:12

And if you get tired of them, the

58:14

cost to relocate is very expensive. If you

58:16

get tired of your neighbors, the cost for you to relocate

58:19

is very expensive. I don't

58:21

know. I think he's talking about the bats. Well, then

58:23

what does that mean? Well, how is that expensive? You just take

58:25

it down. Maybe because you're getting, I mean, he

58:27

might be picturing a bat house like I'm picturing, a

58:30

shed type house. So I

58:32

picture you trying to get like an old clock tower.

58:36

Yeah. Like if you're like, well, I got four

58:38

bats. I mean, four bats might not,

58:41

they can't do all the. Yeah. This is a very

58:43

small house. It's just that like

58:46

it's like the wood is really close together. And

58:48

that's what bats like to be able to get in there and hang

58:50

down. Yeah. But is that many

58:52

of you need a lot of bats that have mosquitoes?

58:55

I don't think so. I think a couple of bats could

58:57

eat a ton of mosquitoes. Yeah. What

58:59

about spectracide? Well,

59:01

I just am not really into pesticides

59:04

these days. You know? Forgot

59:07

where you came from. Yeah. I'm trying to go pesticide

59:09

free. You're a ticks

59:11

too and other bugs. I mean, yeah. Well, I'm into

59:13

that. I mean, if I had some land, I

59:15

would be into some peacocks. What's the Guinea guineas? I

59:18

think it's just a. You got a male peacock. Oh,

59:21

right. I think it's a different kind of species altogether.

59:24

It's a bird. But yeah, I think I've seen guinea

59:26

hens and people's yards. We've

59:29

lost our

59:30

connection there. I think a hen in itself

59:32

is a female. Yeah.

59:36

Look at him. Glad we got to the bottom of that. Richard

59:38

McElroy. MacElroy. Brian,

59:43

she considered apologizing for saying Coco LaGrilla

59:45

killed her pet kitten. The truth is

59:48

it escaped from Coco's cage and was run over

59:50

by a car. Wow. When it was

59:52

signed to Coco that her kitten had died, Coco

59:54

signed bad, sad, bad,

59:57

and frown, cry, frown, sad,

59:59

trouble.

1:00:01

Coco was also heard later making you

1:00:03

sound similar to human weeping. Brian.

1:00:06

Wow. Wow. You should

1:00:08

apologize. I hope no one says that you said that

1:00:10

to Coco.

1:00:11

Well, I did. I got it wrong. I got

1:00:13

Coco mixed up with another ape

1:00:15

that killed their pet. So I do want to apologize.

1:00:18

Coco's no longer with us. I want to post if

1:00:20

Coco's family's listening, I want to apologize to them

1:00:22

or

1:00:23

anyone else. And Coco's immediate

1:00:25

family that heard me say that. I apologize.

1:00:28

Maybe don't sign it to Coco that the cat

1:00:30

died. Yeah. Yeah, why even

1:00:32

tell this? Yeah. Yeah. You

1:00:35

ever see that video, Robin Williams doing comedy to Coco? He's

1:00:37

killing to another species. Oh, really?

1:00:40

Yeah. Apparently Bill Burr has a special. He's

1:00:42

tickling it funny and he's like laughing. I mean, that's

1:00:44

impressive. Bill Burr has a special where

1:00:46

he talks about this and I think it's called

1:00:48

Justice for Coco or something like that. Oh, okay.

1:00:51

Robin Williams was very hairy. I think so. I

1:00:53

think so. He could be part gorilla, Robin

1:00:55

Williams. Yeah. He was a very hairy

1:00:57

guy. All

1:01:00

right. Saying that's why he connected with

1:01:02

him. Yeah. I guess his whole

1:01:04

comment was just making fun of the dad. Coco

1:01:09

and Robin Williams, he pulled him in here somehow.

1:01:12

Taylor Collins. I used to babysit

1:01:14

for my cousin and my aunt had an African gray

1:01:16

parrot. He was

1:01:18

very smart and would make the sound of the phone

1:01:20

ringing and then shouted my cousin's voice and say,

1:01:22

mom, phone. Oh, gosh.

1:01:25

What a nightmare. Yeah. That's

1:01:27

fun. Good job reading that comment. Yeah.

1:01:31

Yeah. That was solid, dude. I mean,

1:01:33

you emphasized it. Yeah. Oh

1:01:35

yeah. The mom phone. SNL, the acting really

1:01:37

paid off. The acting is coming out. Yeah. Coming

1:01:40

out. Annie Halcom. I love that Dusty brought up his

1:01:42

future worms on the pets episode.

1:01:45

I'm not allowed pets in my apartment, but

1:01:48

I'm dreaming of setting up worms outside this spring

1:01:50

for food composting.

1:01:53

As a newcomer to the pod, this felt like a sign

1:01:56

I'm in the right place here. You're

1:01:58

being into some more of this stuff. Yeah, you're in

1:02:00

the right place. I mean, keep listening to the things I say

1:02:02

and then get into that stuff. Yeah. I

1:02:04

mean, that's the way to go. I've not set up the

1:02:07

worm farm yet, but the – I do have the

1:02:09

tub now, so it's on its way. The tub? Where

1:02:11

is the tub? The tub's in McMinnville. It's

1:02:14

unloaded. Yeah, it's unloaded. I unloaded

1:02:17

a cast iron tub out of the back of my truck

1:02:19

by myself. Wow. I've been working out. Yeah.

1:02:22

What do you – do you ever sit at home?

1:02:24

You ever had – you feel like you got a lot going on? Yeah,

1:02:26

we're moving around a lot. Yeah. I mean, we like to get into

1:02:28

it. Yeah. Yeah. I noticed from listening to

1:02:30

your podcast and just your special – you go

1:02:32

to Michaels a lot. It's

1:02:35

still very funny that you have a podcast. Yeah.

1:02:38

I like to talk. I'm a bit of a talker. It

1:02:40

just goes. Everybody go check. What's

1:02:46

the other one? Michaels and what's the other one that you got kicked

1:02:48

out of? Joe – I didn't get kicked out. Joe and Fabrics.

1:02:51

Joe and Fabrics, yeah. And you're always looking for picture frames

1:02:53

or fabric. Yeah. How many

1:02:55

picture frames do you have? You know, I like to frame stuff

1:02:57

and sometimes I have deals but I want to get one free. Yeah. But

1:03:00

they also – they don't make it very clear

1:03:03

what the deal is. So often,

1:03:05

I take the frames to the counter and I go, I

1:03:07

just want to make sure these are on the buy one and get one free list.

1:03:09

And they're – but in the back of my mind, I'm like, I

1:03:11

know they are but I don't want you ringing them up

1:03:13

and not being – they go, oh, well, not these.

1:03:16

Yeah. And I'm like, well, not

1:03:18

these. Why you got signs all over

1:03:20

the whole area? Yeah. I mean it's

1:03:22

like, be specific about it. I walked

1:03:25

out. I just walked out. Eight dollar picture

1:03:27

frames. I leave them with the frames. Yeah. And

1:03:29

I go, well, all right then. Get your signs right. What do you think

1:03:32

is going to happen? Like, let's say you

1:03:34

get super famous. Everybody

1:03:36

knows you. Do you think you ever

1:03:38

just stop it or you just – this is what they get? Like, you ever – Well,

1:03:41

I hope that – you know, they'll just

1:03:43

remember that I did this when I wasn't famous.

1:03:45

Yeah. You know, and don't – And

1:03:47

how do you have it changed? And don't make it like a fame thing. It's

1:03:49

like, no, I've always been difficult in a retail

1:03:52

store. Yeah. I guess. I'm

1:04:01

saying, fame's gone as is. No, no, no.

1:04:04

Your biggest defender? No, he's always been

1:04:06

difficult. He ain't got a store. You don't want that

1:04:08

guy in the store famous or not famous. Exactly.

1:04:13

He did it badly when he didn't have one. Yeah.

1:04:15

I've been in – I worked in retail stores

1:04:17

too much, you know? I've been – I

1:04:20

know how the employees are in there. From

1:04:23

working side by side with them. It's like, don't play

1:04:26

these games with me. Ish

1:04:33

Mendoza. Ish Mendoza. Seemed

1:04:35

like this would be a hard name. Not

1:04:38

as bad as a good one. Ish Mendoza.

1:04:41

Bran Muffin said Chinchilla instead

1:04:43

of Chinchilla. Chinchilla

1:04:46

is a small farm in California town about 40

1:04:48

minutes north of Fresno. Yeah,

1:04:51

I'm going to say Chinchilla. Chinchilla.

1:04:54

Chinchilla. I do know my grandmother lived there for

1:04:56

a couple years when she was little. Wow.

1:04:58

What? You believe that? I don't believe that. That's

1:05:00

crazy. This is like

1:05:02

the 19 – oh, that was like 1857. Yeah.

1:05:06

No, not that far. She was one of the first people out there. She

1:05:08

went up to the Gold Rush. Yeah, the

1:05:11

Gold Rush. Oh. Chinchilla has a very

1:05:13

famous thing happen – well, I don't know how famous, but a

1:05:17

school bus of kids got kidnapped and held

1:05:19

hostage. And the hostage takers buried

1:05:21

them alive in a rock quarry. Wow.

1:05:24

They got darker as it was. But they almost

1:05:27

survived. Oh, man. Bad

1:05:29

news, baits coming alive. Well,

1:05:32

it ends up well. So – In Livemore,

1:05:34

California. Well,

1:05:36

that's where they got buried, but they were from Chinchilla.

1:05:39

Look at that. It's got

1:05:41

all the 1976 Chinchilla kidnapping. For

1:05:43

ransom money. And they were asking for ransom money,

1:05:45

and then the kids – They spent 16 hours

1:05:48

underground. That's brutal. And

1:05:51

you told it like it was a positive day.

1:05:54

Well, it ended up good. Yeah.

1:05:56

It is. That was 47 years ago. So these kids

1:05:58

are probably – But are they your

1:06:01

age maybe or how old were they? I don't know how old were

1:06:03

Bob. They're 26 children 5 to 14 So 47

1:06:07

years ago some did so some people in that bus are

1:06:09

your age so we could be looking at a chowchilla

1:06:12

victim Right here as

1:06:14

your grandmother not moved. Yeah, as you're

1:06:16

going to move you would be this

1:06:18

is the exact age You would have hit it dead

1:06:21

on you

1:06:22

would be chowchilla I'd be a hero

1:06:24

you think those kids got their parents to drive

1:06:26

them to school after that or they were like

1:06:28

yeah I wish I could take you

1:06:31

but I still have to work It'd be like you trying to get apartment

1:06:33

you George stands there versus the Andrew Dory

1:06:35

survivor But you're trying to get it from one

1:06:37

of them. They're like, well, we were underground for 16 hours

1:06:41

How many people go to ground a normal bus? How

1:06:44

many hours regular bus are you underground 30

1:06:47

40 come on

1:06:48

all three people who did this have been paroled

1:06:51

They're all out walking free. Wow

1:06:53

as of last year Wow So

1:06:55

they're still out there at least they're reform well, you hope

1:06:58

people understand younger people and

1:07:00

they they you know do crazy

1:07:02

things Those guys were in prison

1:07:05

47 years of the life. Yeah,

1:07:07

you go in they are in and

1:07:09

they obviously had to be older

1:07:12

It was the quarries owner son

1:07:14

and two of his friends. So it was like younger kids

1:07:16

that did yeah Yeah, but yeah, they were

1:07:18

in their 20s. It's too bad for the kids. I

1:07:20

mean the dad

1:07:23

Yeah, but it's like he drug his kids along

1:07:25

man. Yeah, and they were like, all right. Well dad says

1:07:27

we should do this So let's do it. Yeah, that's tough

1:07:29

man That's you know, you really

1:07:31

honestly you hope kids like that. I don't think kids

1:07:34

think of stuff, you know We're you're like man

1:07:36

your whole life those kids going

1:07:38

at 20 and they're not

1:07:40

out till they're 67 70 years old Yeah,

1:07:44

it's real your whole life is and then you and

1:07:46

you get out at the end just to

1:07:48

be like Here's the end

1:07:50

of yeah, and you go to prison in 1976 and

1:07:53

then you come out now like the world

1:07:55

is completely changed Yeah, you're different

1:07:57

place. You won't yeah. Yeah. Yeah You're

1:08:01

getting a senior citizen discount. Joni's is

1:08:03

not even around anymore. Finally.

1:08:11

You know what I look forward to? Going to his Shonys.

1:08:14

He goes, I hope they're around. What,

1:08:16

are you out of your mind? That was the pop of

1:08:18

this place. Like

1:08:20

you could never imagine that they would go into

1:08:22

the ground. I can think at this point it's only

1:08:24

better. Imagine what you thought the breakfast buffet

1:08:26

would be. Yeah. There's a couple still left.

1:08:29

Yeah. Shonys was nice.

1:08:32

It's a great name. Yeah.

1:08:35

I wonder if Donald's in Pikes still there, isn't it? Oh,

1:08:37

I don't know. Shonys was like a... We

1:08:39

didn't get to go much, but man, when we... It

1:08:42

was like it would be a big deal. You got

1:08:44

to go to Shonys. You'd want to go every week.

1:08:47

Oh yeah. You'd get a big boy. That

1:08:49

was called... The burger was called the big boy, wasn't it? Big

1:08:51

boy. Maybe. I always

1:08:53

got the kids fish and chips. I went as a kid. Yeah.

1:08:56

And just stayed the same. Who's

1:08:59

that, Ernie? This is the

1:09:01

victory parade for the survivors. No,

1:09:04

maybe trap them on a float for six minutes. Some

1:09:07

of the kids don't look pumped about it. I don't

1:09:09

know. Can we walk around a little bit? No, no. Stay

1:09:12

on the flood. Don't get off the flood. Yeah,

1:09:16

but I mean, we're just kind of antsy.

1:09:22

That's wild. Yeah, that is crazy. Chad

1:09:26

Mangum. Mangum.

1:09:29

Mangum. Chad Mangum. Mangum.

1:09:33

Like Dad Gump, Mangum. Chad Mangum. Mangum.

1:09:37

I love the ongoing debate of who would blend into

1:09:39

which sport, and I would be interested to circle back

1:09:41

to Aaron being a long snapper. You

1:09:43

can fine tune the snap to be quick and accurate,

1:09:46

but what about punt coverage? The

1:09:49

average punt travels 45 yards, and

1:09:51

the snapper is the first guy down the middle

1:09:54

of the field. Can Aaron make the

1:09:56

tackle, or at least force the returner

1:09:58

to go wide? No,

1:10:01

I don't think I succeed at that part of it. I

1:10:03

have a hard time thinking you're going to still be the first

1:10:05

person down the field. You might be the

1:10:07

first guy that can run. But

1:10:11

you ain't got to start on everybody, but I'm going

1:10:13

to get down there. Yeah, I think they're going to. It's

1:10:15

going to be like, I think that long snapper barely

1:10:17

makes it 10 yards. What I took it

1:10:20

as if you saw me standing

1:10:23

on the sideline. Yeah. In

1:10:25

pads. And somebody said that's

1:10:27

the long snapper. That's the closest

1:10:29

chance I got to blending in. Yeah, but you've

1:10:31

got to go play. See that's

1:10:33

what I think. I'm on a really good team. You don't

1:10:36

punt that often. The debate thing. Yeah. Is

1:10:39

the debate who would look best in the uniform?

1:10:42

No, no, I think it's you got to play. Yeah. That's

1:10:45

what I think. I love, dude, I love this idea and I've thought about it a

1:10:47

lot. And so I want to see maybe one

1:10:49

day we can do something like it's, uh,

1:10:52

but

1:10:53

it's

1:10:54

like to shoot something or because

1:10:56

I do, I think it's very fun. I'll do the swim.

1:10:58

I'd like to train a little bit, but I also,

1:11:01

if I do the swim and get embarrassed

1:11:03

by other swimmers, I need Brian

1:11:06

to be out on a professional soccer field. Yeah.

1:11:09

Yeah. Well, you'd have to, it'd be very

1:11:11

fun. We could try to shoot it where it's like you have

1:11:13

a camera that's, you know, like, uh,

1:11:16

kind of a far view camera. Yeah. Swimming

1:11:19

would be easy. We get everybody's, uh, professional swimmer

1:11:22

and then, you know, maybe

1:11:24

you have to put your hair up in that thing

1:11:27

so no one could tell your hair. Yeah.

1:11:30

I mean, I'm fine. Well, I'm fine. Well,

1:11:32

I'm fine losing to, you know, that's how they're going to pick.

1:11:34

You go, if everybody's wearing the proper

1:11:36

thing, they're one guy's in a t-shirt. But

1:11:40

I'm fine losing and swimming. Yeah. I

1:11:42

brought my own shorts. Cut off. Yeah.

1:11:45

As long as I get to see Brian on

1:11:47

a professional soccer field. Yeah, you would.

1:11:49

I mean, then we'd have Brian go play like

1:11:52

probably, you know, whatever level soccer would

1:11:54

agree to do this. Wouldn't it be amazing if

1:11:56

you were really great though? Like if this

1:11:58

whole thing

1:11:59

came down.

1:11:59

to Brian is actually a great soccer player.

1:12:02

I mean, yeah, it'd be amazing if there was peace in

1:12:04

the world. What are we talking

1:12:06

about? You saw him going up and down

1:12:08

the stairs. I don't know what

1:12:13

you, I think he was going to surprise you out on the field.

1:12:16

Well, again, I never claimed to be a great soccer player.

1:12:19

I can walk around out there. But I, yeah,

1:12:22

I think he was a ref is what ref

1:12:25

you would be. NFL ref for sure.

1:12:28

NFL is a long way to run. You

1:12:30

might do good even NBA. Just stand down

1:12:32

the right field line. Yeah. Yeah.

1:12:35

Fair. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be good.

1:12:38

Yeah. Yeah. Baseball. Someone heard

1:12:40

us talking about it. It's like baseball would be a good one because

1:12:43

you, you know, you can just, you know, baseball

1:12:45

it'd be go stand out in right field.

1:12:47

Uh, I mean, it's like, that

1:12:49

was my whole life. Yeah. Yeah.

1:12:52

Stand down right field. You go

1:12:55

do your cutoff man's 10 feet from

1:12:58

you. Yeah. He's got to

1:13:00

get there's two cutoff. He goes, I need

1:13:02

to, I got to run. I need

1:13:04

to run up. He goes, throw it

1:13:06

to the cutoff. Oh, I can't get to the center fielder.

1:13:08

You throw it to a man in

1:13:13

the stands and he throws it. Mike Evans

1:13:16

pet slash house sitting is

1:13:18

a major part of the

1:13:22

traveling

1:13:25

plan for my wife and me. We use a couple

1:13:27

of websites like trusted house sitters.com that

1:13:30

connect pet owners to willing embedded

1:13:32

caregivers. The exchange is the opportunity

1:13:35

to visit a location and stay in a home and a neighborhood

1:13:38

while caring for the homeowner's home and

1:13:40

or pets. Believe it or not, our

1:13:43

most recent travel took us to Nashville for our very

1:13:45

first time, but he got to be a part of new

1:13:47

material Monday at Zany's and

1:13:49

heard dusty and Aaron. All

1:13:52

right. That's awesome. That's the show I'm thinking of. That was

1:13:54

a hot show. They didn't say whether or not

1:13:56

they enjoyed it. They didn't comment on the show at

1:13:58

all. Yeah. They did see it. could have been an angry

1:14:00

at the beginning of an angry email. Yeah. No,

1:14:03

I signed up for this when I first quit

1:14:05

my job.

1:14:06

I signed up for trusted house sitters

1:14:08

to go to different cities. I don't think I ever actually did

1:14:10

it, but I thought you would switch departments to someone.

1:14:12

I did that too. Yeah. A few times, but also

1:14:14

signed up for this. You helped me take a picture.

1:14:17

I didn't have a dog and they wanted

1:14:20

photos of you with pets. So Annie

1:14:22

goes over your house and I squatted

1:14:24

a photo shoot with Nate's dog. When Nate's dog

1:14:27

and Annie and Nate took the picture for the website.

1:14:29

It's crazy. You didn't get it. Wow. Funny.

1:14:31

The name is trusted house sitters

1:14:34

and your whole thing is based on a lot. Yeah. Yeah.

1:14:36

Well, that's why I didn't get it. They can see through me.

1:14:38

Yeah, that is true. These guys might be good.

1:14:40

They might be real good. Yeah.

1:14:42

Uh, Shelby Parker, Aaron

1:14:45

and octopus is also my least favorite animal.

1:14:48

They creep me out so much and I can't even watch them on

1:14:50

TV. You perfectly described the

1:14:52

reasons that they're the worst. That got

1:14:54

me wondering, what is everyone's least favorite

1:14:56

animal?

1:14:57

Uh, I

1:14:58

don't like snakes. I

1:15:01

mean, I guess that's a popular one, but

1:15:02

yeah, I don't know. Uh,

1:15:05

I don't know. But I think the snake

1:15:07

doesn't have near human intelligence.

1:15:10

You know, that's the creepy part of this for

1:15:12

me. Yeah. I don't, I guess I don't think of

1:15:14

creepy with an octopus because it's like anything

1:15:17

underwater, you're like, they don't feel gross

1:15:19

to me or something. Like, oh,

1:15:21

really? They out of the water. Yeah.

1:15:23

They don't feel, yeah. I mean, they could

1:15:25

scare me, but

1:15:27

I get the idea. You could talk, I could

1:15:29

see how that's like not. Yeah. That's

1:15:31

why reacted to when somebody had an octopus in

1:15:34

their house. That's what I'm saying. So like an octopus,

1:15:36

they don't, I'm not frightened day to day by octopi

1:15:40

because they're in the ocean. Yeah. You know, somebody

1:15:42

recommended a documentary. A couple of people did that you

1:15:44

should watch. I think it was called Mr. Octopus or something.

1:15:46

But my octopus teacher, whatever that, yeah,

1:15:49

that creep me out, dude. Oh, it didn't work. Okay.

1:15:51

I checked that out. No,

1:15:53

no. This is creepy to me too. I

1:15:56

never really thought about that with octopus, but that's pretty

1:15:58

crazy. The features is due to just like. Swam

1:16:01

around fell in love with an octopus. Oh,

1:16:03

okay. No, I don't like that. No That's

1:16:06

what the movies about so the whole you develop

1:16:08

the relationship with an octopus.

1:16:10

Yeah, it's getting us close to that It's

1:16:13

getting the close of that. Is it I don't think

1:16:15

it's like a romantic love but he just

1:16:17

they just become infatuated with each other What

1:16:19

is it? I think

1:16:21

was nominated for an Oscar. I mean it was a very

1:16:24

well-received documentary. Oh, it's

1:16:26

a real thing. Oh, yeah My

1:16:29

octopus teacher. Well, I'm ready

1:16:31

for you to pay me my 20 bucks here saying well, I mean

1:16:33

that's coming I'm sorry that it already happened

1:16:36

a year spent by filmmaker Craig Foster for

1:16:38

forging a relationship with a wild common

1:16:40

octopus in the South African kelp forest

1:16:43

it won the award for best documentary at

1:16:45

the 93rd Academy Awards So

1:16:47

it was a it was a big deal, but it's

1:16:50

I turned it off about halfway through I couldn't handle it.

1:16:52

I Didn't like it The

1:16:57

whole thing just creeped me out and was weird and Yeah,

1:17:01

once you learn how smart they are what if she

1:17:03

was every time she went there it was a different octopus

1:17:06

and she never I

1:17:09

mean, how do you really know? Yeah

1:17:12

They say octopus can how does

1:17:14

she know which one I met it so they just go to the same

1:17:17

spot Well, they have distinct markings and it would be

1:17:19

in the same spot It got to

1:17:21

a point where it would come up it would come up to him

1:17:24

Oh is it got and and just let it follow

1:17:26

it around it like where like in

1:17:28

the ocean This is the people

1:17:30

around in the ocean and it would it would in

1:17:33

South Africa. Yeah snorkel down with it

1:17:35

Yeah, they could hang out with us. Yeah

1:17:37

spend time with it.

1:17:39

It's like it's friend and became friends

1:17:41

with it

1:17:43

Mm-hmm, so that would make me want to watch

1:17:45

it more than what you you described

1:17:47

it is like he fell in love with

1:17:50

He did but I mean it's like his buddy like

1:17:53

it the way you know, I said it wasn't her it's

1:17:55

not a romantic thing Yeah,

1:17:57

but it was like more. It's more than a dog though.

1:17:59

It's

1:17:59

different.

1:18:01

Yeah, it's different because this thing because

1:18:03

it's smart. Watch the aftersho. He

1:18:05

loves it like a dog. What's what? This

1:18:07

aftersho. I'll do this first. What's

1:18:10

your what's sharing? It would really

1:18:12

upset me if you watch this before you watch the shopping.

1:18:16

What do you think that octopus has seen sha

1:18:18

shank? I already

1:18:20

watched. I mean, it's already won an Oscar.

1:18:23

Yeah, yeah, yeah, they watched more than

1:18:25

shawshank won. Yeah, they didn't win an Oscar.

1:18:27

No, because they were it was the toughest year ever

1:18:29

to be nominated because Forrest Gump just won everything.

1:18:32

Oh, but I thought I thought shawshank was the best

1:18:35

movie ever. Shawshank was a flop at the box

1:18:37

office. I didn't make money at the time. It picked

1:18:39

up steam later. Ted Turner

1:18:42

bought it and he put it on TNT forever and

1:18:44

then DVD sales came out and made a lot of money

1:18:46

after the fact. Yeah, I kind of bombed at

1:18:48

the time. Yeah, yeah, terrible name. It's

1:18:51

a tough name. If they should redo

1:18:53

it, they should name it something else. Well, I don't know.

1:18:55

Now I think it's a great name because it's the most you

1:18:58

recognize. But if you know nothing about it, and you just see

1:19:00

Shawshank Redemption, that's what probably that's

1:19:02

what's kept me then maybe I would agree to if I saw

1:19:04

it. What's kept me from watching is I just picture

1:19:07

some whole heavy sounds pertain. Like,

1:19:09

yeah, it does. Yeah, it sounds

1:19:11

pretend. Yeah. But it's,

1:19:13

it's great.

1:19:14

Brooklyn stabs

1:19:17

to bell stabble. Stable

1:19:20

a bit stable. Because

1:19:22

there's an eye. Yeah, stable but

1:19:24

an eye after the bee. Stable.

1:19:28

I bet there's something you're doing a

1:19:30

little something at the end. Stable. Yeah,

1:19:33

I don't think you're just going stable. I think you're doing

1:19:35

a little something. I think you get

1:19:37

to the bee and you're like, you better. Yes.

1:19:40

Hold on. Brooklyn Stable. Stable. Smile.

1:19:49

My mom is majorly depressed. Oh boy. My

1:19:51

mom is majorly

1:19:54

depressed and needed to get out and be around others. So

1:19:56

I invited her to join me on my six hour

1:19:58

drive. I put on the podcast

1:20:01

and she said that she had never watched any of Nate's

1:20:03

stand-up. We proceeded to watch every special

1:20:05

we could find for the remainder of the trip and

1:20:08

the Nate Melody made the time go by faster

1:20:10

and had her crying with laughter. She

1:20:13

said she hasn't laughed like that in a long time and I think

1:20:15

it was really healing. Well that's the best.

1:20:18

Wow. Wonderful. Thank

1:20:20

you, Brooklyn. Yeah, I love, yeah. I mean,

1:20:22

man, hearing people laugh, it's

1:20:25

a very rewarding thing

1:20:28

to hear. I can tell you that. It

1:20:31

really does mean, it

1:20:33

means a lot in hearing stuff like that because it's,

1:20:36

that's why you do it. That's why you

1:20:38

do it. And you really do do it for that and that's

1:20:40

what I've enjoyed with as, you know,

1:20:42

doing stand-up is

1:20:44

like you just like, because you can just, I

1:20:46

mean, man, when you're just hearing people going, you're like,

1:20:50

it's, you know, you just feel it's really, you

1:20:53

know, it feels good. It's great.

1:20:55

And it fuels us to

1:20:58

be. Yeah, for sure. For wanting to get back

1:21:00

because you're like, I just want to keep, you

1:21:02

know, giving. Yeah. And I think if you laugh a

1:21:04

lot, if you're around people that make you laugh, you can really

1:21:06

take for granted that some people

1:21:09

aren't in those environments where they're not

1:21:11

laughing a lot. So really, they really do

1:21:13

need a comedy show. Yeah. And

1:21:15

they really get to like, go, man, that was,

1:21:18

you know, feel, hopefully feel

1:21:20

relieved and happiness

1:21:22

and, you know, just can move

1:21:24

forward. All

1:21:25

right. So you want to tell us about AG1? I

1:21:27

sure do.

1:21:28

If you are a

big Nate Land fan, you know

1:21:35

AG1 daily and really feel like

with AG1 because it's much easier to

1:23:22

mean, that's what I'm talking about. Yep.

1:23:25

All right, this week,

1:23:30

it's Thanksgiving week. Sure is. We're

1:23:32

all gonna be with family, different places. I thought it's a good time

1:23:34

to talk about bathrooms. Oh man,

1:23:36

most important room of the house. Yeah. It

1:23:38

seems what? Yeah, this is

1:23:41

the first I'm hearing about this one. You didn't know that's what

1:23:43

we were doing? No, I think, yeah. I

1:23:45

don't know how far I would have made it if I would have known. Well,

1:23:49

you know, it's an important topic. And

1:23:53

bathrooms are called different things in

1:23:56

different parts of the world. It's relatable

1:23:58

because, you know, we all use it. Unless you live

1:24:00

in an area where they don't have them. But

1:24:04

you still use the bathroom. I'm guessing

1:24:06

if that's the case, you're not listening to this podcast. That's

1:24:08

probably true. Well, yesterday was World Tool-It

1:24:10

Day. Oh, okay. And that's to bring

1:24:12

attention that much of the world

1:24:15

still doesn't have access to that. And

1:24:17

what those people want most

1:24:20

is for us to know about it. Yeah, just dive

1:24:22

in. They're like, yeah, we don't have it, but we're still not going to have it,

1:24:24

but it's good if you know that we don't have it. What

1:24:30

is the World Tool-It Day though?

1:24:33

It's because how many people don't have toilets? I

1:24:36

know other countries and stuff, and

1:24:38

they do it. But then you also want to go, why can't we

1:24:40

get them toilets? Well, I think

1:24:42

it's not the actual toilet, but

1:24:44

maybe the piping and all of that.

1:24:46

I mean, Derek and then they go over there and they do

1:24:48

a lot of stuff and build these communities up.

1:24:51

Right now there are 3.5 billion people

1:24:53

still living without safe toilets. 419 million

1:24:56

people still practice open defecation. What

1:24:59

am I doing to my house? I'm using some

1:25:02

unsafe toilets.

1:25:07

World Tool-It Day is about accelerating

1:25:09

change by doing whatever you can. Take action

1:25:12

today and share the campaign

1:25:14

with your people.

1:25:17

I guess it's just

1:25:19

raising awareness.

1:25:21

Break taboos. Talk about the critical connection

1:25:24

between toilets, water, and you know.

1:25:27

Yeah,

1:25:28

it's – yeah,

1:25:31

it's – you know, those

1:25:33

toilet taboos. Yeah. I

1:25:36

understand. I just

1:25:39

think how you can't have – how

1:25:42

could you – like, what is the plan?

1:25:46

Well, for one, let's stop putting food

1:25:48

waste, oils, medicines, and chemicals down

1:25:51

our toilets. Well, that's true. Yeah, we've

1:25:53

got to stop doing that. Right?

1:25:55

Compost. Yeah. You've got

1:25:57

to get into compost. It's about being the change. That's

1:25:59

right.

1:25:59

I can see that, but it's like I

1:26:02

thought the big thing was like let's let's

1:26:04

talk about I could see if it's world

1:26:06

tour Then it's like hey. Here's how you do 12, but

1:26:08

like they want you to give money

1:26:11

And I just don't it's like I'm saying like how's

1:26:13

it gonna get to the toilet, but

1:26:16

well It's got to work its way down by if I give this thing

1:26:18

money people running my mind For

1:26:21

sure gonna get them so I buy five

1:26:23

toilets and be like and they're gonna just knock

1:26:25

on door and bring a person to it No,

1:26:28

I don't think that's what this charity does yeah, I don't

1:26:30

know if this is I mean There's not even a place to donate

1:26:32

on here. I think there's really just oh, I thought

1:26:35

it said give money But just

1:26:37

like to your on your own do whatever make

1:26:39

your commitment and be the change I bet that's where

1:26:41

you give them. Oh, yeah, they disguise

1:26:44

the word donate. Yeah, it's probably a monthly

1:26:46

thing You don't you don't just give one time you got

1:26:48

to sign up this is a UN water org

1:26:51

the United Nations Yeah,

1:26:53

it would be like that's what I'm saying is I would like to if

1:26:55

they like it I think that's what happens

1:26:58

is when they're like well three have been people don't have toilets

1:27:00

in their head You're like then how come we

1:27:02

can't just like let's go solve that

1:27:05

and I think everybody would be like yeah It

1:27:07

bit out. I just want housing. Just

1:27:09

I want it to be done

1:27:11

right so let's you know and I understand

1:27:13

it I don't want to hear about this next year Get

1:27:17

it done like let's go okay, let's that's the

1:27:19

giant thing then let's what do we got to do?

1:27:21

Yeah, if they laid out the plan they were like, all right

1:27:24

in this area All we need is this

1:27:26

much money and we can get it built then

1:27:28

we could all donate to there Yeah, and then we'll

1:27:30

say all right, is it done? And then if it's done

1:27:33

then you can go. All right Well, let's start doing this every year.

1:27:35

Yeah, I'm with you. I Am

1:27:38

shocked. I think they've made

1:27:40

great strides over the last few decades and getting

1:27:43

people access to I mean Yeah,

1:27:46

yeah last year was three point seven billion.

1:27:48

Now, it's three point five billion Now's

1:27:51

me

1:27:53

Such a huge number. Yeah.

1:27:55

Yeah, I mean, it's like three point five still

1:27:58

living without safe toilets, but four 419 million

1:28:02

still practice going

1:28:04

outside

1:28:05

well, I

1:28:07

Do so half of that practice going up. Yeah

1:28:09

outside there four times today. Yeah, so Yeah,

1:28:13

I mean half a billion that late in the day So

1:28:16

we're going down right now We've already cut it down to three

1:28:19

billion because half of them are trying to do it outside Have

1:28:22

that's what that says. Yeah, half of them are like that's

1:28:24

the main thing with this is where we do it We do it outside.

1:28:26

Uh-huh. Yeah, we sell some water Mm-hmm.

1:28:30

Mm-hmm

1:28:32

Well, anyway bathroom's about I want people

1:28:34

to die I mean that yeah, right there's a kid

1:28:36

Yeah, but it's I don't understand what

1:28:38

a safe toilet is. I'd like them to define that

1:28:41

a bit better I think just a toilet. Yeah, like

1:28:43

just running water. It's really it's a

1:28:45

running water Yeah, you have water you'd have all

1:28:47

this stuff which Derek might know Everybody

1:28:50

over there they go and do a lot of this right stuff

1:28:53

So they do you in the go

1:28:55

build up these mean a lot of mission trips and stuff like that

1:28:58

Yeah, but it's always like that kind of thing where you want to go I

1:29:00

believe they are all doing that kind

1:29:02

of stuff and I have trouble I guess with this

1:29:05

thing Specifically being like well, what are

1:29:07

you if you're this? Yeah

1:29:09

thing. What are you doing?

1:29:11

Probably they're probably very unsanitary a

1:29:13

lot of these non safe toilets and

1:29:15

disease probably spreads But

1:29:18

bathrooms are more than just toilets. They're showers.

1:29:21

They're

1:29:21

sinks. Yeah,

1:29:23

keep going. Yeah bath mats Yeah,

1:29:25

yeah bath mats. Sometimes it will have a floor

1:29:28

tile in there. Thank you dusty. Yeah

1:29:31

They're called different things in different countries

1:29:33

Australia you might know what they're called. Oh straight a washer

1:29:35

and lose Yeah, the

1:29:37

Lou is it I was just water closets.

1:29:53

according to the candidates a washroom. Yeah Japan

1:29:57

it's a bingo

1:29:59

I'm like stuff right here

1:30:02

boy. We're rolling. The

1:30:06

average person spends between six and eight times

1:30:08

a day in the bathroom.

1:30:10

Six and eight times. You

1:30:13

got to be hydrated out here. You got to be

1:30:15

drinking the water. I bet so.

1:30:18

All together. How many is for anything?

1:30:21

To go in and look in the mirror, to go in and brush

1:30:23

your teeth. I think it's... you're

1:30:25

peeing. That feels like a lot of times. You're

1:30:28

properly hydrated. Get my age as well. Look,

1:30:31

on this podcast, I noticed, like

1:30:33

you guys... You and Brian would kill for six days. You

1:30:36

guys sign me up. Where can I get six... I've done that

1:30:38

since I've been here. But on the podcast, you guys rarely

1:30:41

drink your whole mug of water. Every time I

1:30:43

drink the whole mug of water, Nate often brings

1:30:45

a refill of water. So I bet you're not properly

1:30:47

hydrated. I am doing all right hydrated.

1:30:50

How do you know? No, I bet you're not. My

1:30:52

water... I actually make an effort to do it.

1:30:55

How much do you drink?

1:30:56

I only drink a gallon a day.

1:30:58

I only drink a gallon.

1:31:00

How do you do it? You have a big

1:31:02

thing? I have water bottles

1:31:04

and I drink eight of them. Yeah. You

1:31:07

know? And you

1:31:09

don't pee eight times? No. You drink eight

1:31:11

bottles and you don't pee eight times? Well, I don't

1:31:13

know. I don't do it all count. I really don't

1:31:15

keep count. Maybe I'll keep count for that. You hold

1:31:17

it for a long time to build up. Sometimes I do, yeah. Sometimes...

1:31:20

I don't do it for a reason. Yeah. It's

1:31:23

just sometimes I... You're like, I want to make sure I only pee

1:31:25

four times a day. My own stuff is young. Yeah. It

1:31:29

doesn't go.

1:31:30

How... you pee a lot of times? 20

1:31:32

times a day? 20, 25.

1:31:35

Yeah. I'm like, oh, dude. No,

1:31:37

I don't know. That's your old day. Every

1:31:39

time you walk by the bathroom, you think

1:31:41

about it? Might as well

1:31:43

go. Might as well go. I'm about to sit down, so

1:31:45

I might as well do it before I sit down. Yeah.

1:31:48

Yeah. That is good. Water's

1:31:50

delicious. That is good water. Water's delicious.

1:31:53

I love water. I know

1:31:55

I have friends that don't... they tell me they don't

1:31:57

drink water. I never drink

1:31:59

water. And I've been doing it

1:32:02

for the past year, like trying to, it's hard. I

1:32:05

can not do it, but I mean, man, when you want it, it's,

1:32:08

and I've started being able to fill the

1:32:11

sodas and the stuff that dehydrates you

1:32:14

and you can fill coffee. Like this kind of, you can

1:32:16

just be like afterwards, like, I mean, that

1:32:18

just felt like it sucked so much out

1:32:20

of me. So I mean, I understand

1:32:23

it. I get needing

1:32:25

it. I only drink water

1:32:27

and black coffee. That's what

1:32:29

I like. And when I would have cigars, I haven't had cigars

1:32:32

in a month, I would have like a ginger rail nicotine

1:32:35

free right now. Oh yeah. It feels

1:32:38

good. Yeah. Yeah. I've

1:32:40

been a little more intense, but it feels good. Yeah. Yeah.

1:32:43

Yeah. It's a bat house stuff. Yeah.

1:32:47

Yeah. Laurie looking for stuff to find. Well,

1:32:49

we're on episode 175. You said find

1:32:51

stuff that's silly. I love it. Yeah.

1:32:55

I love it. The first flushing toilet

1:32:57

was invented by a poet. Thomas

1:32:59

Crapper. Wasn't that his name? He's the

1:33:01

guy who, I swear to God, that's his name.

1:33:04

I was getting to him next, but he's the guy who really refined

1:33:06

the toilet,

1:33:07

but he wasn't the inventor. Okay.

1:33:09

He brought it into a different league. The last

1:33:11

name Crapper faded away shortly after

1:33:14

that. Well, I mean, no, I think, well,

1:33:16

was it, was it used that way before

1:33:18

him? I think, I think, I think we're paying homage

1:33:21

to him. I see what I'm saying. Like the last

1:33:23

name. Oh, but yeah, they probably used it. Yeah. They're

1:33:26

like, we're going to go ahead and change this. Well, he

1:33:28

is

1:33:28

like the, yeah, he refined it. He ran

1:33:30

a plumbing company in England and

1:33:32

he made it a lot better. And there's

1:33:35

legend that World War II soldiers from America

1:33:39

saw the signs everywhere and say, I'm going to go use the Crapper.

1:33:41

And that's how that came about. Oh. But

1:33:43

I don't know if that's true or not. I saw Crapper plumbing signs

1:33:46

all over, all over England. Yeah.

1:33:49

But the guy, John Harrington, he's probably like, well, that's

1:33:51

not,

1:33:52

it's like a mix of good and bad

1:33:54

for business. Where you're like,

1:33:56

if

1:33:57

people are aware of your business, but then

1:33:59

you're also being

1:33:59

And like, that's

1:34:01

not the best word to have associated

1:34:03

with your business. But moving back then, it was not

1:34:06

associated at all bad. Yeah. I

1:34:08

think it was just crap has got to be a real

1:34:10

bad. Yeah. That's what I think you're, you're like,

1:34:13

uh, your crapper, you invented it. And then they start

1:34:15

calling it a crapper. And then you're like, Oh,

1:34:17

I don't want my last name to be this anymore.

1:34:24

He held nine patents, three of them for water

1:34:26

closet improvements, such as the flow.

1:34:29

A lot of this terminology

1:34:31

is pretty wild. He improved

1:34:33

the S been plumbing trap in 1880 by inventing

1:34:36

the you bend. I mean, this guy, he

1:34:38

turned down play as involvement, Brian, but this guy

1:34:41

revolutionized the revolutionized.

1:34:43

That's a good word. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1:34:45

I think they put his parents name, his

1:34:47

parent,

1:34:48

because he had one parent,

1:34:50

uh, Charles

1:34:53

crapper old Chuck crapper. I mean,

1:34:55

why would they only put one parent? And

1:34:59

then they go, and then, and

1:35:01

I feel like his name is like, you're like, what, you

1:35:03

know, I feel like we'd be like Thomas

1:35:05

crapper. And then, and everybody's

1:35:07

going to be like, well, who's who's

1:35:10

that? His wife, Kepper made name.

1:35:14

Yeah. Spouses Maria green. That's why

1:35:16

you don't see his mom green, green crapper. Maybe

1:35:19

that crapper name went down quick. Yeah. Uh,

1:35:22

his father Charles was a sailor. And

1:35:25

he's, he's a prince to his brother George.

1:35:27

I mean, there's no talking to his mom. I guess they don't know. She

1:35:30

might've not want to be a part of this. And

1:35:32

that's, you know, for crapper retired, passing

1:35:35

the firm, his nephew, George crapper

1:35:38

and his business partner, Robert Mar wear

1:35:40

them. That's a tough name too. Oh

1:35:43

yeah. Like wear them.

1:35:44

Like it's not, you

1:35:47

know, it's like you, you would hope it'd be like a cool

1:35:49

name to be like, all right, offset it.

1:35:51

Uh, well, come on down a crapper and wear them.

1:35:54

Uh,

1:35:56

can't grab them, wear them. Yeah.

1:36:00

We got all down here. Yeah, that's

1:36:03

tough, man. I

1:36:06

think you got to put his dad's name in there just because you're like,

1:36:09

you almost believe... It almost has

1:36:11

to show you... I wonder if they do it because

1:36:13

it has to show you that this person's

1:36:15

real. Yeah. Because you'd be like, they're making

1:36:18

this up. And that's all they got to do. You

1:36:20

go, they're not making up his dad's name.

1:36:22

It's Charles Crapper. That also could be made up. Yeah. But

1:36:25

in your head, you're like, well, if you had a dad named Charles

1:36:28

Crapper, then I bet Thomas is that too? Yeah.

1:36:32

Oh, the World War I soldiers. Excuse me. That's

1:36:35

okay.

1:36:38

But back to John Harrington, who

1:36:41

was a poet, and he was the godson of Queen Elizabeth

1:36:43

I. And he wrote

1:36:45

some risque poems, so they banished him

1:36:48

from the court. And during his exile,

1:36:50

this is in the 1500s, he

1:36:52

built a house and devised and installed the first

1:36:54

flushing toilet. He called it the Ajax.

1:36:57

And then eventually Queen Elizabeth forgave

1:37:00

him and visited his house, and he

1:37:02

showed her his new invention, and she tried it out. And

1:37:04

she liked it so much, she ordered one

1:37:06

for herself. And when you say

1:37:09

you're going to the John,

1:37:10

it's because of John Harrington. Whoa. Oh,

1:37:13

man. And Porta John. Oh, Porta

1:37:15

John. Yeah. Yeah. This guy really

1:37:17

made a splash.

1:37:19

So

1:37:24

this was invented in the 1500s, and

1:37:27

it wasn't until Thomas Crapper

1:37:29

came along that it really got revolutionized.

1:37:32

It took 400 years to really take it to the mainstream.

1:37:35

Yeah, maybe people

1:37:37

didn't

1:37:38

really worry. I mean, we couldn't get worried around

1:37:40

back then. Yeah. It's

1:37:43

pretty – I mean, what a different time this

1:37:45

guy was exiled for writing risque

1:37:48

poems. Imagine

1:37:50

caring that much about a poem. Kick

1:37:53

somebody out of society for a while. The original

1:37:55

cancel culture back then. Oh, man. I

1:37:57

like to see these poems.

1:37:59

I think

1:38:00

one of our early podcasts, we were talking about what's

1:38:03

the greatest invention. Was it you that said the

1:38:06

toilet or was it Nate

1:38:08

and you said air conditioning? No,

1:38:10

I've always been an air conditioning fan. Yeah,

1:38:12

I think we debated over which one was more important.

1:38:16

If you're living in the South, it's tough to debate

1:38:18

the AC thing because I always thought, why would people

1:38:20

live? Why would they settle up in Minnesota

1:38:24

and Wisconsin with it being so cold? But then

1:38:26

I realized before the air conditioner,

1:38:28

why would you settle downtown? A

1:38:31

lot of them didn't until the AC. If

1:38:33

you track population growth in

1:38:35

the South, it's after air conditioning, central air got

1:38:37

used. That's when they really started taking off because

1:38:40

you could actually live down here comfortably. Couldn't

1:38:42

do that for a long time. Yeah,

1:38:45

that is crazy. Brutal. Yeah, that

1:38:47

would make sense. You got to go somewhere in between.

1:38:49

Yeah, somewhere in the

1:38:51

middle. My

1:38:53

grandmother didn't have air conditioning in her house

1:38:56

in like the 90s and

1:38:59

in Alabama. We would

1:39:01

go to visit her and you'd have the windows

1:39:03

open with an oscillating fan. It's

1:39:06

brutal. Didn't you say your dad had

1:39:08

an outhouse? Yeah, when he was growing up,

1:39:10

yeah. I can remember outhouse

1:39:13

at my church when I was a kid. Wow. So

1:39:19

if you had to use the restroom during service,

1:39:21

it was outside. Yeah, that's a good way to encourage

1:39:23

people to not go to the bathroom during the service. Yeah,

1:39:26

I didn't go to the bathroom. Yeah. I

1:39:29

mean, this was the 80s. I'd actually

1:39:31

be a fan. If you could have a really nice outhouse,

1:39:33

it maybe should be separated from the house a bit.

1:39:37

Like a little air conditioned shed out there. I mean,

1:39:39

your neighbor

1:39:42

is watching. You

1:39:46

walk out to the middle of your yard with

1:39:49

a newspaper in

1:39:52

the whole neighborhood, just like, oh

1:39:54

boy. Get

1:39:57

the kids. He's

1:40:00

about to hear some screaming going on. It's

1:40:03

a little earlier than usual. He must have got into

1:40:05

something. Going

1:40:07

out with a cup of coffee. Yeah, I wanted separate.

1:40:12

I mean, your family might want it

1:40:14

separated, but I mean, you don't need

1:40:16

to put that on everybody. You're all these people

1:40:18

in the neighborhood. Just see you. You

1:40:20

got your open bathrobe, newspaper.

1:40:24

Horse with no name. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

1:40:28

Every morning. You hear that playing

1:40:30

as you're walking out. As you're walking out, walking

1:40:32

down there. Bill, how are you doing?

1:40:35

He's walking to his. I

1:40:37

mean, just I think people are too

1:40:40

comfortable in the bathroom. I do. I

1:40:42

don't like it. What do you mean? I

1:40:45

should be the place where you're the most comfortable though, right? I

1:40:47

mean, no, I'm the least comfortable. Are you

1:40:49

talking about a public bathroom? Yeah. Okay.

1:40:53

Yeah. Say, man, like your own bathroom. No,

1:40:55

no, no, no. No, public bathroom. You're too

1:40:57

comfortable in it.

1:40:59

And it's like, what do you see them doing in there? I

1:41:02

mean, just, I mean, just acting like they're at

1:41:04

their house or like that. No one exists

1:41:06

in your, you know, cause it's especially with men. Cause

1:41:09

men have got this like, kind of like, you know, this

1:41:11

is what we're doing. We're not, who cares what

1:41:13

we are. And you, and you just have that like, oh,

1:41:16

let's just be normal for two. So, you know, just,

1:41:18

you're not going to keep to yourself. Don't be a

1:41:21

problem. I don't be like,

1:41:23

you know,

1:41:24

you know, I read a list of bathroom, public bathroom

1:41:26

etiquette. And most of them was just don't talk

1:41:29

to anybody no matter what. Not at the

1:41:31

sink, whatever. Just get out before you

1:41:33

talk. In and out. In and out. Yeah.

1:41:37

Even if you know them, just don't talk to them

1:41:38

while you're in there. Yeah.

1:41:41

Now, which stall and which journal do you

1:41:43

think would be the cleanest?

1:41:45

The middle one. I'd

1:41:49

say, I think it'd be the one closest to the

1:41:51

entrance and the exit. Because I bet that I think I, I

1:41:53

think I've looked into this at one point.

1:41:59

At some point,

1:42:01

when you want privacy, you're gonna go as far away

1:42:04

from the door as possible. So I imagine that's

1:42:06

gonna be the dirtiest one and it's gonna get cleaner

1:42:08

the closer you get to the entrance. Yeah,

1:42:11

I could see that closer and that one's gonna get clean

1:42:13

the most. Yeah, it's the first one. Oh, yeah.

1:42:16

See, I would think the middle one, especially if

1:42:18

there's three, I guess, if there's three

1:42:20

urinals, like you don't wanna walk up to the

1:42:22

middle one. No. So I would think that one

1:42:24

would be the one that would get you the lead. You

1:42:27

know what's funny is like everybody listening this because

1:42:29

you're gonna mess me up too now. Now

1:42:33

I'm gonna, because I would always go, I would go farthest

1:42:35

away because I'm just trying

1:42:37

to be in a corner. Poor urinal

1:42:39

or? I mean everything. You talking about a urinal?

1:42:42

Both. Both. Yeah,

1:42:44

anything and everything you're trying to just be, because I mean,

1:42:46

when you're up there in the front, you're

1:42:49

in the... The high traffic zone. Yeah.

1:42:52

The mix up. The mix up. Yeah.

1:42:55

Like me now, you're gonna go to the public bathroom. Like I'm

1:42:57

gonna end up being at the front of the urinal. And I think

1:42:59

a lot of people listening will end up,

1:43:01

you just got in our head enough just saying

1:43:03

that, that you're gonna be at the first one. You're gonna

1:43:05

see a lot of like, hello folks, at the first urinal.

1:43:08

Oh, yeah. You get it, yes. But

1:43:10

I'm not really thinking about that. And then the other, and

1:43:12

then the guy goes, you're not supposed to talk in here. You're

1:43:15

not concerned about the cleanliness

1:43:18

of a urinal though necessarily. You're not touching

1:43:20

the urinal. Well, you

1:43:24

will notice the cleanliness of like the

1:43:26

ground in front of the urinal, that kind of stuff. I mean,

1:43:28

I've seen some nightmares, man. I've

1:43:31

seen some bad bathrooms. Would you say that was an

1:43:34

unsafe urinal? I felt

1:43:36

unsafe in the urinal before. For sure, man.

1:43:40

What about bars? I used to go to bars where they would

1:43:42

just have troughs. I hate

1:43:44

the trough. I think

1:43:46

they're still in Europe. I think they have a lot of

1:43:48

them like that. Yeah, I couldn't do it. I hate the trough. Yeah,

1:43:51

I just don't understand it. You're like, you know.

1:43:52

I think Vanderbilt-

1:43:53
