always by my friends, Dusty Slay, Brian

1:03

Bates, and Nate Bargettzi is not

1:05

1:08

brought an old pal of ours.

1:10

First time on the podcast, but a long time

1:12

friend of the Nateland family. Give it up for

1:14

our buddy, Johnny W. All right.

1:16

In the studio. What's going on, man? That

1:19

was a great intro. Thanks, dude. Yeah.

1:22

You said that as if to say, I'll take it from

1:24

here. No, no, it was good. I want it here now.

1:27

Good job, your work is done. Let's let Johnny

1:29

W. get in here. I'm sorry I cut you off. No,

1:31

it's great to be here. You know what's funny is I

1:33

have a lot of people who listen to my podcast or

1:35

like my comedy, but they always say, when are you gonna

1:37

go on Nateland? It's up to me. I was

1:40

like, when I'm invited. I don't just barge in. I

1:42

get told that from time to time from

1:45

people. When are you gonna be on? When are you

1:47

gonna be on Nateland? Yeah. People just

1:49

not familiar with me at all. I think people think a

1:51

lot of things are up to us in our career that

1:53

are not up to us. I literally had someone ask, when

1:55

are you gonna do a Netflix special? Right. I

1:58

don't think you understand how Netflix works. Have you ever thought about? I'm

2:00

just waiting for them to get bigger.

2:03

Have you ever thought

2:05

about doing the rhyming? I thought

2:07

about it. Don't

2:10

be afraid to just shoot an email and see what happens. I

2:12

think I'm going to do... Give them my avail. I'm going to

2:14

do Richdown next year, I think. It was fun when we did

2:16

it. I'm just going to be like, hey, I'd like to... you

2:18

remember me? I'd

2:21

like to do it again. You got your foot in

2:23

the door. You're supposed to follow up. Hey, I was

2:25

there before I'd like to come back. Yeah. Yeah.

2:27

Return to visit. I think a lot of people will say

2:30

to me, I like when you guest on the Nate Land

2:32

podcast. They'll say that to me. I

2:34

go, all right. Well, I... They missed the

2:36

announcement. Yeah. We can offer 100

2:38

episodes now. Well, you're fresh

2:40

off the tour with Nate. Yeah.

2:44

This is... he did a couple arenas... or

2:46

he did a theater in Savannah and then

2:48

we did Pacific Coliseum in

2:50

Knoxville, Tennessee, which is where I'm from. So,

2:53

yeah. So that was a blast and

2:55

also terrifying. I don't know if you guys have

2:57

ever done shows with Nate in your hometown or whatever

2:59

where you're just like... People are like, you got it.

3:01

And they're all excited. And you're like, this could be

3:04

so fun. Or I'm going to have all my high

3:06

school friends be like, well, dude, you'll get them.

3:09

Keep plugging away. Oh,

3:11

yeah. I don't know that Nate's done Opelika

3:13

before. Oh, that's true. Yeah. Weren't

3:16

you homeschooled? Well, I went... Like

3:19

I see the description.

3:21

See here? Yeah. There's

3:24

some holes in my story. I had two years of high school. Oh, okay.

3:27

Yeah. Oh, that's trouble a lot.

3:29

That's your junior, senior year. No, it's complicated. But

3:31

yeah, it was just like, oh, this is a way to get

3:33

out of high school. It was like four hours a day. I

3:36

just wanted to get out. A lot was ready to be done.

3:39

And so... After sophomore year, you're like, I'm

3:41

done with high school. Well, I was just like ready

3:43

to like hit the fast forward button and launch myself

3:45

into real life. Yeah. It's

3:48

more like a pause button though, huh? It was a pause

3:50

button for a long time. But now, you know, I've been...

3:52

I've got some available out to the ramen. So we'll see

3:54

what happens. Do you ever hear of Hot Daddy? That's the

3:56

4:17

4:22

Yeah, but if it just never improved after that

7:48

back by suppertime, right? Yeah, mom

8:01

whistle. Can you do it? You can do it. No, I

8:03

8:05

8:08

skipped the generation that's what they say. Yeah,

8:10

I can't really do it. Can you do it? Yeah, I'm doing it

8:12

Just breathe a little bit But

8:23

I was in Phoenix, Arizona I

8:25

was in on Thursday. I

8:27

was at CB live when the

8:29

week I was there changed to

8:32

desert range improv desert range Oh

8:34

boy Hey Sam got

8:37

a cameo. Yeah, yeah, son's coming. I think

8:39

yeah But you

8:41

take a page out of Johnny's book hit the

8:43

pause button No, my wife's on the way. Oh,

8:45

you want to tell them Hannah said she's on

8:47

the way I don't know but you

8:50

don't have to I don't but if you want to tell them But

8:53

they changed it the desert range improv

8:55

at range I had a Thursday night

8:57

there really great and then Dustin Nickerson

8:59

was there on Friday and Saturday And

9:01

then I was in at the Tempe

9:03

improv really great. I love that

9:05

club so many people came out everybody's so

9:07

nice The people

9:10

working at the club really remarked

9:12

on how nice all of

9:14

my fans were that came Oh, that's they were

9:16

like This is some of the best shows that

9:18

we've had and I was like what makes it

9:20

good and they were like I don't know but

9:22

the comedy is good. But you're also you just

9:24

have really nice audiences And

9:27

I thought that was great that is great you're not bringing

9:29

in the riffraff you never want to be that guy Yeah,

9:31

you never want to be the guy cuz I go to

9:33

clubs and you say like who'd he got coming

9:35

up and early? Be

9:38

an annoying weekend, you know, yeah I mean,

9:40

I think that I don't think that it's ever been like

9:42

that for me I think there were times where the audience

9:44

or the club might be like, yeah, we're not gonna make

9:47

a lot of money And

9:55

Yeah, and I think that you know, I've always

9:57

been nice but I think part of it is

9:59

that I've done clubs for a long

10:01

time where I've not really sold a lot of tickets.

10:03

And it's like, you just feel like I'm

10:05

just happy to be here. Right. You know, so you

10:07

just kind of, so I think it's good to work

10:09

your way up. That way you can stay

10:12

humble. Pay your dues. Yeah. Edward. I'm sorry.

10:14

You were there. Dustin was there. John Chris

10:16

was there. He was in Phoenix

10:18

somewhere. Yeah. Yeah. So, so, I was

10:22

gonna say a Nate land. Perfect. Yeah, but

10:24

Dustin never been on. So nevermind won't come

10:26

on the podcast. No, look at that. Refuse

10:29

this. I beat Dustin on the podcast. Well, see, it's

10:31

a good instinct to just be nice. If you're like,

10:33

if you, because I was in Albany,

10:35

New York, the staff was like, here's the green room

10:38

and if you guys want to smoke or anything, you

10:40

just do it right in here in the green room.

10:42

And I was like, I don't think sold

10:45

30 tickets. That

10:48

guy came in, uh, was a

10:50

nightmare ruin the green

10:52

room and he sold 30 tickets. So

10:54

we made no money. So I've smoked

10:57

in two green rooms. And, uh, one,

10:59

uh, cigars, one at, uh,

11:01

Chicago Zany's and I sold out all

11:03

the shows. Oh, there you go. And

11:05

they were like, yeah, it was real

11:07

cold outside. They were like, yeah, you just do

11:09

it in here. And I was like, all right. Yeah.

11:12

You know, cause if you don't do it inside, there's

11:14

just a little fire escape right up there and you're

11:16

like, I'm not staying out there for a whole

11:18

cigar. So it's like a privilege once you sell them.

11:20

It's like Sharon Stone. She was hot enough in

11:22

basic instincts. She lights up the cigarette during the

11:24

interrogation. Like, what are you going to do arrest me?

11:26

Right. You were there. You're sharing stone of comment.

11:28

Exactly. That's exactly right. People

11:32

call me that. Yeah. Yeah. I've often thought

11:34

that, yeah. I was

11:36

on the, I'm on the, uh, Christmas party

11:38

circuit. All right. Christmas party time of

11:40

year. I made more than

11:42

one hour than you losers made all weekend. So

11:44

that's probably true. That's

11:47

probably true. Uh,

11:50

this is a good, uh, good year though. The

11:52

way the calendar falls usually the first

11:54

two weekends of December Christmas parties and then by

11:57

that third weekend is getting a little too close

11:59

to Christmas. This year, the way the calendar falls,

12:02

we got three weekends in December. Yeah.

12:05

So yeah, I'm putting in the swimming pool. All

12:07

right. Do you have

12:09

Christmas jokes, Brian? You did some Christmas material. No,

12:12

I used to have one about. You

12:14

wear a Santa hat. You

12:17

sell it as a Christmas show, then you just do the same

12:19

jokes in a Santa hat. Hey,

12:21

I'm Brian the elf. It's

12:24

the same show. People just go home

12:26

sad. You

12:28

ruined Christmas. I

12:30

had a joke in my early days about,

12:34

there was no room in the

12:36

holy day in. Oh,

12:41

I wasn't sure what you're going for. Where

12:43

the shingle ladies at? Yeah,

12:47

I was trying to do, I was trying to put

12:49

together like some Christmas jokes and then I'll have a,

12:51

I'll pitch this to places for like, this is my

12:53

Christmas, it's like 15 minutes of Christmas material. One

12:55

thing I did last year, I didn't do it any this year and

12:57

I've got a couple left, so I may try it, but it's

13:00

almost like a play on Karnak, the great, you know,

13:02

with the envelopes, but it's

13:05

boxes that are pre-wrapped and

13:07

I just hold one to my head and I

13:09

have somebody from the audience read the slip that's inside

13:11

with the, you know, the, the setup

13:14

for the joke. And I have the punch line. I say the punch

13:16

line. So like, I'll be like, I'll

13:18

hold up one box and shake and I go,

13:20

good will hunting. And then they'll open the box

13:22

and they'll say like, describe your last minute Christmas

13:24

shopping. Oh, okay. Oh yeah. That's a good, good,

13:26

reverse. You have to learn to write in that

13:28

format. You get it. Good will, good will hunting.

13:30

Oh yeah. That's interesting. That's the name of that

13:32

movie. I never really put it together. Like, yeah,

13:34

cause his name was will hunting. Yeah. And he

13:36

was good. Yeah. But like good will

13:39

hunting would be like, you go to goodwill hunting

13:41

for last minute, but you did. Thank you. If

13:43

you have to explain it, it's clearly a great

13:45

joke. So I'm going to keep it in them.

13:47

Keep it in the show. It took me a

13:49

minute, but, uh, because I don't get it. Doesn't

13:52

mean no, no, it's got broad appeal. Yeah. Just

13:54

cause the professional comedian didn't get it right away.

13:56

No, I was more just impressed by it. Like

13:58

that they actually named the movie. It's gonna be

14:00

Goodwill hunting, but that is something you could be

14:02

doing. Goodwill hunting. You might

14:04

just be hunting for a Good Goodwill.

14:07

What if you found that movie in

14:09

the bargain bin at Goodwill? That's a

14:11

weird. That's like Inception. What if you

14:13

found Inception next to— Mm-hmm. Yeah.

14:16

You found Goodwill in the Goodwill while

14:18

you were hunting. Yeah. Peace

14:21

on Earth, Goodwill hunting towards me. At the Holy

14:23

Day Inn. I was just hunting for Will. There

14:25

you go. All right. I just

14:27

looked at Goodwill. I like your like, I've never been

14:29

in a Will. Maybe you're like an estate attorney. If

14:31

you're hunting for a Goodwill, call me. You guys have

14:34

ever been in a Will? Like Will Forte? No. Have

14:37

you been in a Will? No. No one's ever Willed

14:39

me any more. No. My family's been pretty broke. I'll

14:41

put you in my Will, Dustin. Yeah. I'd like— We're

14:44

not—anything of mine you'd like? You want any of my

14:46

act? What I'd like is—yeah, I

14:48

would like a lot of your joke. No. That's not

14:50

true. But I would like a—I'll take anybody's joke, so

14:52

I will. Good. I got one about

14:54

the Holy Day Inn. Hell yeah. And Shingle Ladies.

14:56

That one's up for grabs. Shingle Ladies. That one

14:59

really turned out. I did. Holy

15:01

Day Inn. We'll leave the light on for you.

15:04

That was Motel 6. Yeah. Yeah.

15:07

Motel—where you at? Motel 8? Now,

15:09

what did that joke get? You had one about—what were

15:11

the other five? Motel 6. I don't know what happened

15:13

to the first five. Yeah. That was a good joke.

15:15

That was a hot joke for me at the time.

15:17

That was a good joke. Well,

15:20

I had a fun run through

15:22

the Carolinas—North Carolina, then South Carolina.

15:25

And I do like one of them

15:27

better. Oh. One of

15:29

the states. You don't want to—

15:31

You can probably guess. I was in Charlotte,

15:33

North Carolina at the Comedy Zone, and then

15:35

I did the Greensboro Comedy Zone, and then

15:37

we were in Greenville all weekend

15:39

in South Carolina, and then Charleston. And then we drove

15:41

back through the night last night. I got in at

15:43

about 6 a.m. Wow. It was a

15:46

very fun week. A lot of people came

15:48

out. Thank you to everybody who

15:50

came. You were in Charleston. I was in Charleston.

15:53

That's where I lived for a long time. Yeah,

15:55

yeah. Your old stomping ground. How's the Dusty Bill?

15:57

Yeah. I mean, I— The

16:00

hero was not really around when I was

16:02

there, that's where you were at. You

16:04

had a choice to go to Hyman's or

16:06

Fleet Landing, and you went for Fleet Landing.

16:09

Which is, someone would argue as a better

16:11

restaurant, but I wanted you to go

16:13

to Hyman's just so you could see what was going on. I've

16:16

seen the outside of the building, and I

16:18

thought about going in and just saying, I

16:20

know Dusty. That's what I did. Did they

16:22

know who Dusty was? Not at first, but

16:24

then I found the woman, I guess

16:26

Miss Hyman. I don't know. Older ladies?

16:29

I don't know who's there now. The

16:32

legend is, is there Miss Hyman?

16:34

She was the first one. Well,

16:37

their mom Phyllis has

16:39

passed away, so that would not have been her. How

16:42

long ago? It could have been Eli's wife,

16:44

but I don't. Okay, she passed away a

16:46

long time ago? Wouldn't it be great if it was

16:48

the ghost of Miss Hyman and haunting? She's

16:50

been dead for four years. Scoot me

16:52

down on this very night. I

16:55

think it's been a while, at least 10 years.

16:57

Okay. I went in there, and there

16:59

was an older lady, I think she had an

17:01

accent. Named Rita? I don't know.

17:03

Rita the greeter. She used to be there.

17:05

She knew you. She knew you. Describe

17:08

her. She seemed like she had an

17:10

accent. What kind

17:12

of accent? Charleston. Not

17:14

American. No, no, no, no. Like New

17:16

York? No, well. I think a foreign

17:19

accent. Did you say I do declare a bunch of times?

17:22

What if you were born like, born beyond today? Yeah.

17:25

Well, now I'm questionnaire. I think I may have just seen

17:27

a ghost. Wow. That's

17:30

pretty fun. I thought I told you about this when I

17:32

met her, and you knew who it was. But

17:34

maybe not. Maybe it's Rita. Rita the

17:36

greeter. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway,

17:39

she knew you. She knew you. We talked

17:41

a little bit, and she said that she kind of kept up

17:43

with- There's a busman, too? I think that's Rita. Oh, is that

17:46

it? Oh, I started to say, is there another

17:48

guy like Gus the busman? Like, everybody's got to play on

17:50

their name. They give you jobs based on what rhyme, but

17:52

your name. Yes. There was

17:54

a greeter named Rusty. I was a big fan of Rusty.

17:56

Nader the waiter. That's

18:00

how they do it. Sorry. This is how we do it

18:02

here. We're not a very successful company Yeah,

20:57

Or not. Well, listen, the

20:59

thing about going to the doctor is thanks.

call their office and they have an appointment available,

21:29

good experience. Well, I

to the doctor and they're like, oh, we don't

22:53

accept your insurance. And you're like, what? Yeah. I

22:56

have insurance here. You just, you take it. You make

22:58

23:00

the insurance. You come out of surgery and they're like,

23:02

oh, we made a mistake. We don't. We don't take

23:04

the insurance. Yeah. Just take it. Take it.

23:07

Go ahead and take it. Here's the card.

23:09

Yeah. I'll give it to you. You're pushing it.

23:26

the greatest email on earth. Nate land at Nate bar

23:28

get c.com. First

23:31

comment comes from Tristan Lee. He says, I know

23:33

Nate's busy, but I'd rather he just not put

23:35

an episode out if he isn't there. Well,

23:38

sorry about that. Tristan.

23:40

Thanks Tristan. For your job where I still

23:42

got to listen to it. Yeah.

23:44

Yeah. That's it. Tristan, you can, uh, you know, you,

23:46

you don't have to listen. I don't

23:48

know if you're strapped down in a room or something, but, uh, trapped

23:51

under something heavy. Yeah. You're, you don't have to

23:53

listen. I mean, I don't know what your thing

23:55

is against comedy, but, uh, Like

24:00

clockwork orange things on his eyes. Whatever. Another

24:03

one? No! I love that

24:05

this guy's like, I'm gonna comment this. Yeah. Man,

24:08

Tristan seems like a guy we should all hang out with.

24:12

Tristan Lee. Well, sorry about that, Tristan. Hope you,

24:14

uh, you better not listen to this one. Nah.

24:17

He'll never know. Brian Massey. Me and my

24:19

wife had a blast at Aaron's show in

24:21

Greenville. Alright. Even though he stopped

24:23

the show for two minutes begging for a towel.

24:26

Okay. A few things to address

24:28

here. I've not known about

24:30

that. I did not know about towel. Two

24:32

minutes is a gross exaggeration. How long is

24:34

it? It's more like 45 seconds of me. I

24:38

need a towel. So I get up there. It's

24:41

cold outside. It was cold all weekend. So I

24:43

step into the club. It feels fine. I get

24:46

on stage within 30 seconds. I'm like, Oh

24:48

no. Oh no, dude. I'm

24:51

drenched in sweat and I'm wiping it

24:53

with the sleeve of my shirt.

24:56

And then like, this is becoming like, I can tell they

24:58

see me glistening on the stage. Right. And

25:01

I didn't have a sweat towel. So I go, Hey, sorry. Cause

25:04

somebody just throw me a towel. And

25:06

then like some guy in the

25:08

front row gave me like a napkin. And I

25:10

was like, well, this feels like, let's just wipe

25:13

a cloth nap. Like now they call it like

25:15

a paper. It's gonna be a little residual linty

25:17

on your head. Yeah. So then somebody

25:19

was server. It was nice. They were like, they found

25:21

one and they threw it up on stage and it

25:23

was like a dish rag. Oh

25:26

man. Well, they didn't have anything else, but they

25:28

gave me a dish rag that was clean, but

25:30

it just looks like a dish rag. Yeah. And

25:33

I wiped my forehead with it and you can see all like

25:35

the dish rag dust in the light. It

25:37

was a bit of a mess, but two minutes. It

25:39

wasn't two minutes. You know? Yeah.

25:43

I mean, and the thing you could do is

25:45

just berate the club, you know, you don't come

25:47

hard at the club and the audience wouldn't even

25:49

think that you'd come out at the club and

25:51

you'd go, what kind of club is that? I

25:54

didn't know you were bringing that kind of energy.

25:57

Yeah. They're maybe like, well, the

25:59

last two guys didn't. Yeah, well, you know,

26:01

I'm doing more physical up here.

26:03

Thank you. Thank you for coming

26:05

broadcast news. You ever seen that movie? with

26:08

Joe Rogan No, oh

26:12

That was news radio news radio. What is broadcast

26:14

news? It's a movie about From

26:16

the 80s. Okay, but TV news. Yeah,

26:18

it's very good movie. Tell me a

26:20

word nominated Albert Brooks Is

26:24

in it and he gets to finally fill in

26:26

on the anchor desk when the anchors not there

26:28

and he immediately just breaks out into Sweat and

26:30

as he's reading the news like waters ripping down

26:32

his face During the first

26:34

commercial break. They have to bring in a fresh shirt. He

26:37

has to change. It's just a very funny scene That's

26:39

exactly what later on he's describing it because the other

26:41

person's like surely it didn't go that that something had

26:43

to go right He goes I lost six pounds. I

26:48

Might have lost six pounds during that set but I knew the

26:50

rest of the shows that weekend I brought a towel of my

26:52

own up there I do like that

26:54

they said it took two minutes and you

26:56

go. Oh, that's way too long 45

27:00

seconds and then it took you two minutes

27:02

to tell the story about I

27:07

think they were being general your account of

27:10

the towel. Yeah, look half my set 45

27:14

seconds and then they gave me Napkin

27:18

and then a dish towel. I mean

27:20

there's a whole nightclub below this club.

27:22

They couldn't find one towel That wasn't

27:24

a dish towel. No, did you go downstairs

27:26

to where that dance club is? That's where

27:28

the green rooms right over there So Lord,

27:30

that's how we would come in each night

27:32

was through there. The floor was so sticky

27:34

Yes, it's that you would like almost lose

27:36

your shoes one Get

27:39

flip-flops on you wouldn't make it Only

27:42

one show on the whole week is for shows

27:44

there. I didn't grieve only one show that nightclub

27:47

kicked in oh, yeah, and as the end

27:49

of my set and you just you oh

27:53

Yeah It's

27:55

like your line it's like it's tough when you

27:57

hear people having more fun Did

28:00

you have to reference it? Did you finally have to just...

28:02

Oh, yeah. You had to be like, we all, I mean,

28:04

everybody heard it. It was a nightclub. Sharing

28:07

a wall with the comedy club. The floor.

28:09

You can feel it in the floor. Yeah.

28:12

There was at the Nate's Show in the Coliseum, the first

28:14

one on Friday night, I'm up there. And I was most

28:16

nervous for that one because I just needed to get it

28:18

under my belt because it was the first of three. And

28:21

I was like, this is my hometown crowd. And I

28:24

went second and they had these, the arena

28:26

is so old, they were having to heat

28:28

it with these, those big forced

28:30

air propane deals in the backstage. And they're pushing

28:32

it through the old vents and the thing.

28:34

Literally that's what they were doing. So it took

28:37

all day and they're still going. And

28:39

I'm hearing the hum of them back then. Like surely these

28:41

crowds hearing a little bit of this. And

28:43

so we're wondering around backstage and evidently somebody was

28:45

back there in front of one of those heaters,

28:48

one of the crew and leaned up against the

28:50

fire alarm. So the fire

28:52

alarm went off for like half a second before he

28:54

could shut it off during my set. And I, you

28:56

can't be like, I know people heard it. Right. Sorry.

28:59

It was doing

29:01

this buzz thing. And I was like, is that, is

29:04

everybody hearing that or am I having a stroke?

29:06

Like, oh yeah, that's my kind of go to

29:08

smile. Yeah. Everybody see that like wicker. Am I

29:11

having a stroke? Yeah. And so that was it.

29:13

And luckily it stopped right after I said that

29:15

line, I was able to keep going. But if

29:17

it had kept going, like I don't have a

29:19

backup line to the stroke line. And also you're

29:21

like, that's my go to, it's my closer. And

29:23

at that point, you know, the place is being

29:25

heated with propane tank. I mean, there could be

29:27

a fire. Right. Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing is

29:30

what is, is an actual emergency. Yeah. That

29:32

would have been, you know, like am I

29:34

having a stroke or is this place burning

29:36

down? Yeah. The

29:39

one thing about the 3 PM show was there were

29:41

people coming in late because just traffic issues, which I

29:43

was teasing nails. Like that's when you know you've reached

29:45

cell level in your career when your comedy causes traffic

29:47

problems. But we're at 3 PM show

29:50

and people just didn't give themselves enough time to get there. So the

29:53

doors to the upper level were opening and

29:55

light is flooding in when Graham was on

29:57

stage. Finally, he just had to go. Like

30:00

stop opening that door. You're letting all the light

30:02

in. And it got a laugh. It

30:04

was true. He was just also like, hey, cut it

30:06

out. Because it was weird seeing it's

30:08

like, it was like that scene in Raiders where

30:10

the light comes in through the rod and he

30:12

knows where to dig. Like it was like that

30:15

beam coming down like an extra spotlight but it

30:17

was on everybody's eyes. Like

30:19

cut it out. God given you the light. Yeah,

30:21

it was. That'd be tough. That's the best thing

30:23

about headlining a show. When I'm headlining a show

30:26

and they're like, hey, do you want to hold?

30:28

Because people are still coming in. I'm

30:30

like, no, it doesn't affect them. Yeah, let's get the show going.

30:34

The other guys got to deal with this. Let them split

30:36

it up. It'll be dark by the time I get up

30:38

there. Your

30:40

opener goes out there for eight people. Yeah. Do

30:43

whatever. People are still getting seated. Jared

30:45

Cooper. I was on Auburn's 2010

30:48

National Championship team. All right, that's amazing. That's Jared.

30:50

A year later, I was visiting my hometown and

30:52

walked into a store. A man I'd never met

30:55

walked straight up to me and said, I bet

30:57

you're glad you won that National Championship ring last

30:59

year, huh? Not knowing that

31:01

he was setting me up. I said, yes, sir.

31:04

He replied, well, if you'd gone to Alabama,

31:06

you'd have two rings right now. He

31:09

turned around and walked away. If Auburn fans are

31:11

four winners, it's not exactly like

31:13

our Bama neighbors set a great example for

31:16

us. That's true. That's a

31:18

funny story. That is true. And, you know,

31:20

and maybe this, and I don't know Jared

31:22

Cooper's situation here, but maybe this is much

31:24

like how we started this podcast where it's

31:26

like, well, if you'd

31:28

gone to Alabama, who knows what

31:30

kind of options Jared had? Jared

31:32

picked a college, he got accepted,

31:34

he's playing football, he wins a

31:36

National Championship. And you win a

31:38

ring and still hear some random

31:41

Yahoo trying to bring you down out here.

31:43

I don't like it. Because maybe if he

31:45

got- Justin Lee is trying to bring that

31:47

guy down out here. Maybe it was Justin

31:50

Lee. It could have been your

31:52

dad. We

31:54

don't know. I don't even know that

31:56

like, if he had been on the Alabama team,

31:58

maybe he's the reason they don't win. the championship.

32:00

Yeah, he's so bad that they don't win. Maybe.

32:02

You don't know. But if he can win

32:04

a championship at Auburn, he could have probably brought three screens to

32:07

Alabama. When

32:12

I saw the Music City Bowl announcement, your mom was

32:14

the first person I thought of. My mom has already

32:16

said she wants to get some tickets. Oh, that's cool.

32:18

Who were they playing? Maryland.

32:21

Oh. That's interesting. Somebody else got a

32:23

barn burner. Yeah. It might

32:25

be on TV. Did

32:28

she come to Nashville when they played Vanderbilt? I

32:31

don't think so. No, she's

32:34

got season tickets to the home games.

32:36

Okay. And she will come to

32:38

some away games. But she tried to get,

32:40

I think she was, I tried to see

32:42

if anybody had some free tickets for that

32:44

Vanderbilt game. Yeah. They were

32:47

pretty pricey. I was like, I

32:49

was going to get her some tickets and then I was like,

32:51

nah, I don't know. That's not the Vanderbilt fans driving up the

32:53

prices. I'll tell you that. Eric T.

32:56

Peterson, the rule of the

32:58

Midwest is if it's cooked inside the

33:00

turkey, it's stuffing and can be

33:02

pretty dangerous if undercooked. If it's

33:04

baked on its own, it's dressing. And

33:07

if anyone under the age of 60 offers to

33:09

make it, they are assigned green

33:11

bean casserole, the auburn of

33:13

the Thanksgiving table. Oh, that's funny. I

33:16

like this. I like that joke. I like

33:18

everything about this except for the parentheses. It

33:20

can be pretty dangerous if undercooked. You

33:23

don't believe in that? You don't believe in undercooked?

33:25

I just feel like that was an unnecessary warning to us.

33:28

And you just know that if you're going to put

33:30

things in the carcass of a bird, you're going to

33:32

be pretty careful. Watch

33:35

your steps, my friend. But

33:39

I do think he's right. But I think there's more

33:41

differences to it than that, I feel like. I don't

33:43

know. Well, this is just in the Midwest. Yeah. But

33:46

I feel like- People all over said this.

33:48

But I feel like- It became a Twitter

33:50

thing, like a trending topic of arguing over

33:52

dressing versus stuffing and what's better and what

33:54

are the protocols. I saw it on Twitter

33:56

this week. I just feel like stuffing is

33:58

just a whole different thing altogether. The

34:00

dressing is—I got—people have been

34:02

sending me dressing recipes. I

34:05

like to bake a bunch of different dressings.

34:07

I have a taste off. You got to

34:09

wait until Thanksgiving next year. I don't—see, I've

34:11

always been—I've always wondered why we do that.

34:13

Like dressing, when done right, is like the

34:16

best of all the sides. I think of

34:18

stuffing as like fluffy and dressing as like

34:20

wet. You can almost slice

34:22

dressings. Like a cake. And why is it

34:24

that dressing—you know, it had good dressing. Yeah,

34:27

I had. That is—yeah. Because

34:29

I'm just saying why— It's the best of all the sides.

34:31

No, dressing is the best of all the sides. Why can't

34:33

we have it a little more often than once a year

34:35

out here? And what is eggnog? Feel

34:37

free to make it for yourself. Eggnog is

34:39

the opposite. Eggnog is once—like people get so excited about

34:41

eggnog. I'm like, if it's so great, why can you

34:44

only get it one month? I

34:46

never had it. And I'll tell you why, because it's

34:48

flavored mucus. That's the reason— That is true. That

34:51

we don't have it but one month a year. Flavored

34:54

mucus. Interestingly, people say dairy

34:56

gives your body more mucus. You

34:58

could really be onto something here. You

35:04

cracked the code, Johnny. Yeah, sorry. Eggnog, not

35:06

a sponsor. You could really be onto something

35:08

here. Jason Williams. Oh, you

35:10

think it's the same Jason Williams? As

35:13

basketball player. Yeah.

35:16

White chocolate. Mm-hmm. Unfortunately,

35:18

Thanksgiving dressing is

35:21

now part of the Mandela Effect now that we

35:23

call stovetop stuffing.

35:25

That we now call stovetop stuffing.

35:27

Yeah. Mandela Effect.

35:30

Well, stovetop stuffing is a

35:32

real thing, and so is dressing. Now

35:34

what's not a real thing is

35:37

stofers' stovetop stuffing. I thought you brought the

35:39

segue into an ad. It did.

35:41

It's not like it did it. But was not a real thing. I

35:43

do like that he brings up the Mandela Effect, though. That's

35:48

fun. But yeah, I still think—I just think

35:50

the dressing's gone because the older—I mean, I've

35:53

been getting some recipes. People are saying it's

35:55

still alive out here. Mm-hmm. But

35:57

when your older relatives are gone, the good stuff's

35:59

gone. They're taking it

36:01

with them and taking it to the grave.

36:03

Well, you got a lot of respite. I mean, it was hard

36:05

for me to find a comment you hadn't already commented back to,

36:07

but, uh... I don't know

36:09

why you can't use those, though, even if I'm

36:11

commenting. Well, you can. I just like a little

36:13

element of... I mean, include my response.

36:17

But don't you think part of it too, Dusty,

36:19

is like the stuff you grew up with. It's

36:21

not like it's gone. It's just you grew up

36:24

with a standard for dressing. And

36:26

so, like, somebody may make dressing that's their...

36:28

whatever their family heritage. And you go,

36:31

that's not... you call this dressing? Right. Because

36:33

your mom put more sage or whatever in hers. Yeah.

36:36

Like, chili. People will argue about chili, but it's because

36:38

they grew up with a certain chili. Right.

36:40

Of course. That locks in. It's like... it's like...

36:42

it's in your brain. Like, this is real chili. You

36:44

ain't got beans in your chili. Yeah. You

36:47

freak out. The type of milk you

36:49

grow up with, I think that's imprinted on

36:51

people. For sure. And very

36:53

few people venture out and try different stuff. Yeah.

36:55

Try to give skim milk to somebody who drank

36:57

whole milk on a kid. Oh, yeah. Don't

37:00

spit in your face. This used to be a great country. It's

37:03

something like that. You know? Skim milk.

37:05

Yeah, I agree with that. But I

37:07

also think that it's like... you

37:09

know, it's like... so what happens is in

37:11

the family, when the older relative is gone,

37:14

other relatives try to replicate that

37:16

to keep it going. It's

37:19

like making a copy of a copy of a key. Yeah. Your

37:22

kids will think that's the best. And

37:24

when they're gone, they'll say, uh... My

37:26

kids will be like Aaron that don't

37:28

even think dressing's good. Oh, man. These

37:30

youngsters. You can only hope. Wow. What

37:33

do you eat for Thanksgiving that's so great that you

37:35

can give up? Milky Way. Well, look, I think Green

37:37

Bean Casserole gets an unfair treatment. Eric

37:40

T. Peterson called it the Auburn of the Thanksgiving table.

37:42

I mean, what does that even mean? Maybe

37:44

he likes Auburn. Maybe. I'm

37:48

projecting a little bit onto that. Spring

37:52

Whitney. I get what Dusty's

37:54

saying about how the food tastes different than

37:56

that the older people make. My dad has

37:58

a theory that the cook... where they

38:01

have used to make the food in for years has something

38:03

to do with how it tastes. Might be

38:05

a crazy idea but I thought it was an interesting theory.

38:07

Dr. Justin Marchegiani I'm like asbestos. Dr. Justin Marchegiani Yeah. I

38:10

think she's right though. I'm uh– I think that's it. Dr. Justin

38:12

Marchegiani Tasting the carcinogens. Dr. Justin Marchegiani But

38:14

yeah, I mean that could be it too. I mean– Dr.

38:17

Justin Marchegiani Yeah. Dr. Justin

38:19

Marchegiani Yeah. Dr. Justin

38:21

Marchegiani Yeah. Dr. Justin

38:23

Marchegiani Yeah. And

39:24

it's just poisoning

39:26

us. DMOs running through

39:28

our veins out here. Dr. Justin Marchegiani

39:30

I think modern-day broccoli is a GMO.

39:33

Like broccoli as we know it now

39:35

is genetically modified. Dr. Justin Marchegiani Wow.

39:38

Dr. Justin Marchegiani But they did a good job modifying

39:40

it. Dr. Justin Marchegiani I guess. Dr. Justin Marchegiani Yeah.

39:44

Dr. Justin Marchegiani Mm-hmm. Dr. Justin Marchegiani Do you think that's true

39:46

though or– or– or– or is it– have you matured? Dr.

39:49

Justin Marchegiani I don't think I've matured. Dr. Justin Marchegiani Like

39:51

broccoli I didn't like as a kid but there's a whole

39:53

wide variety of things– Dr. Justin Marchegiani Right. Dr.

39:55

Justin Marchegiani I wouldn't eat as a kid– Dr. Justin Marchegiani Yeah. Dr. Justin

39:57

Marchegiani Maybe it's a little of both. Dr. Justin Marchegiani Because I mean it's

39:59

like– Yeah from this episode. Yeah, I've grown

40:01

40 minutes in yeah We

40:05

briefly mentioned the Mandela effect you guys think everybody knows what

40:07

that is Well, you

40:09

want to do a run through well, I'll just write it

40:11

down if you don't it's Basically

40:14

something you sure happened right

40:16

that But I

40:18

think it's a it's a collective Misremembering

40:21

that's right. Yeah, not just you I get

40:23

a lot of mass hysteria but in like

40:25

it's almost like pre Snopes

40:27

pre Whatever before these sites could

40:29

kind of like nope, this is not actually true Yeah,

40:32

you just hear these things spread like one of the ones

40:34

that I like is the Bernstein Bears

40:36

is actually the Bernstein Bears But

40:40

everybody thinks it's Bernstein baby. I'm

40:42

still I'm still with Bernstein that

40:44

are not Bernstein I know

40:46

it's very insane. It was not staying when

40:48

I was growing parents. Same bear But that's

40:50

the only one that's the only one that

40:52

really I'm like nah It was

40:54

no way what's to be gained exactly. I

40:56

don't know Okay, but

40:59

I'm like a mispronunciation

41:02

of it that we they kind of took off There's

41:04

some things that just like sin bad being

41:06

in the genie movie, right? Yeah, never even

41:08

am yeah, yeah Shazam, which we've I mean,

41:11

maybe the big one for me is the

41:13

monopoly guy having a monocle. Okay. Yeah That

41:16

would be one of the main characteristics of the

41:18

monopoly guy I agree with that as he has

41:20

a monocle on his eye, but he never did

41:23

There's some reason we all think that he

41:25

did One of my favorite

41:28

ones that I just read about was that

41:30

Ed McMahon was with publishers clearinghouse and gave

41:32

out checks at people's houses Yeah, he never

41:34

did he was with another

41:36

clearinghouse Publisher thing and they

41:39

had a contest but Ed McMahon was

41:41

not publishers clearinghouse check guy according to

41:43

according to the main media unpublished

41:45

clearinghouse. Yeah, he was with Much

41:49

more yeah, it's called a Mandela effect because

41:52

a lot of people think Nelson Mandela died

41:54

in prison Right, which he

41:56

did not According to he got

41:58

out and died in reality Yeah, so

42:01

you think one a different timeline? Well, that's

42:03

the idea right is that we're in a

42:05

different reality. What did that happen? I

42:08

forget the thing I've been trying to think of the thing

42:10

but there's a machine that was

42:13

created I

42:15

don't know. I can't I don't know lighter. Yeah. Yeah

42:19

And Smasher. Yeah, and

42:21

when they turned it on Yeah,

42:23

it like you know, and I'm not saying I

42:25

believe this I'm just saying this is what's being

42:27

said That it it you know

42:29

it put us on a

42:31

different reality and we occasionally just glitch

42:34

back and forth Well, we have memories

42:37

Because we're from that old That's

42:40

our memory but in the

42:42

current reality that never existed

42:44

So then the other reality

42:46

like the main differences is like the monopoly guy

42:49

doesn't have a monocle on his eye Mm-hmm. Well,

42:51

that's not everything else is kind of the same.

42:53

It's not necessarily the main difference. It's just like

42:55

those are differences You know, I ones are yeah,

42:57

we're pretty lucky those were the only Things

43:01

we don't write. Yeah. Yeah. I just want to say

43:03

that in the other reality I

43:05

don't think the genie movie opened

43:07

well, I don't think

43:09

I don't think I did well I don't think it

43:12

was a hit you think even in the alternate reality.

43:14

I think it I

43:16

think send word was great. I love Come

43:20

on, come on. What's wrong? Good. Bill Hartman. It's

43:22

a great performance. Yeah, Chuck Yeager was a big

43:24

deal in the other reality I

43:27

don't remember him. But I think in that

43:29

other reality some of these people from Instagram

43:32

are from that reality Yeah,

43:35

yeah We've

43:37

been taken for not knowing everything

43:39

about Chuck Yeager's life I mean

43:42

staggering it's as if we've never read

43:44

a history book I'm a boy every

43:46

history book that you buy Chuck Yeager's

43:48

on the front and

43:50

they're like, you know, you don't know anything about

43:52

history There's one guy he goes he goes if

43:54

you don't if you don't remember history, you're doomed

43:57

to repeat it and I go like So

44:00

you mean like breaking the sound barrier

44:02

again? He's like, I said, do you think

44:04

we might break the sound barrier again? He

44:06

goes daily. And I go, so you would

44:08

say remembering history in this case helped us

44:11

repeat it. And then he blocked me. He

44:13

did. Yeah. Yeah. Cause

44:16

that comment still up. I can see it.

44:19

He can't handle it. He can't handle the hate. He

44:21

went over the other reality. I thought about it and

44:23

I have to, I think on some level it is

44:25

disrespectful of us. Oh,

44:28

I agree. That we don't know

44:30

about this guy who's never ever

44:32

referenced in the world ever. Yeah.

44:35

And, um, and we were not taught about

44:37

little disrespectful that we don't know his whole

44:39

life story. Well, I'm sorry. I don't know

44:41

him. I would wish I could have

44:43

known Chuck better. Yeah. I think Chuck

44:45

would have liked hanging out with me. And

44:48

I think just based on the name, yeah. Yeah.

44:51

Dusty and Chuck. Chuck. Yeah.

44:55

Chuck and Yager. Yager have spent some time together

44:57

though. Yager bombs. You know what I mean? It's

45:00

a different kind of barrier you broke. Yeah. Remember

45:03

Stevie? The blood alcohol barrier. Yeah.

45:07

From Stevie. From other realities. Yeah.

45:10

Okay. He was a catcher for the Dodgers.

45:12

Oh, okay. Was he related to Chuck?

45:14

I don't know. I don't know. Abby

45:16

Wainwright. That's our old friend. I

45:18

recognize that name. Abby Wainwright. I was thinking with all

45:20

of the travel and performing you do, it

45:23

must be hard to stay healthy this time of year. Do

45:25

you have any specific things you try to do to stay

45:27

healthy on the road? Have you had to

45:29

perform while really sick? I'm going to let you guys

45:31

take this one. This would be a great time for

45:33

an AG1 ad read. If we had one this week,

45:35

that would be like, oh, you know what I mean?

45:37

I think we did. Zock-Zock could have gone here actually.

45:39

Tell us Dusty. Do we? Oh, we

45:41

do don't we? Yeah. Boom.

45:45

Oh man, this is perfect. I wish I had known that

45:47

this was my ad read. Oh, if

45:49

you had no effect. Obviously, Abby

45:51

is not a big fan because if you

45:53

start this, you'll go. If you're a big

45:56

Nate Land fan, you know that we've been

45:58

drinking AG1 for a couple of years. We

46:00

all started drinking AG1. AG1 daily and really

46:02

feel like we're doing something good to cover

46:04

all our nutritional basis. That's

46:06

because AG1 is a foundational

46:09

nutrition supplement that supports your

46:11

body's universal needs like gut

46:13

optimization, stress management, and immune

46:16

support. Abby, since 2010, AG1

46:19

has led the future of foundational

46:22

nutrition, continuously refining

46:24

their formula to create a smarter,

46:26

better way to elevate your baseline

46:29

health. Abby, I replaced

46:31

my multivitamin with AG1 because it is

46:33

much easier to mix the

46:35

one scoop of powder and water once a day

46:38

than to remember to take a bunch of different

46:40

things. It takes under a minute and costs less

46:42

than $3 a day and it tastes great. Since

46:47

we travel so often, Abby, we use

46:49

the single serving travel packs so we

46:51

never have to miss a day when

46:53

we're on the road. You can get

46:55

free monthly delivery to make it even

46:57

easier. AG1 is a supplement we trust

46:59

to provide the support my body needs

47:02

daily and that's why they've been a partner

47:04

of Nateland for so long. If

47:06

you wanna take ownership of your health, it starts

47:08

with AG1. Try AG1 and get

47:10

a free one-year supply of vitamin D3,

47:13

K2, and 5 free AG1 travel packs

47:17

for your first purchase. Go

47:19

to www.drinkag1.com/Nate. That's

47:23

www.drinkag1.com/Nate. Check

47:25

it out, Abby Wainwright. Dr. Justin Marchegiani It's

47:28

the first ad we ever have to do a cutaway

47:30

shot of Aaron to get the full effects. Dr. Alan

47:32

Watts We never, it was just direct address to Abby.

47:34

Dr. Justin Marchegiani Oh, no. But

47:36

you know what? This is what I do

47:38

aside from drinking AG1. I go to the grocery

47:40

store when I'm on the road and I buy

47:42

food and I just eat and I try to

47:44

not eat at restaurants. Dr. Alan Watts Do you

47:47

cook in a hotel room? Dr. Justin

47:49

Marchegiani I don't cook. Dr. Alan Watts You used to bring a

47:51

thing, right? Hot plate or whatever. Dr. Justin Marchegiani Yeah. I had

47:53

a hot plate. Dr. Alan Watts They're not happy if they find

47:55

out you do that. Dr. Justin Marchegiani No, I used to put

47:57

a towel under the door like I was, you know, doing.

47:59

doing illegal things in the room. Really, I

48:01

was just cooking a steak in there. And

48:04

it saves a lot of money. When you're just coming

48:06

up as a comic, you, that saves money. But does

48:09

it save money? Oh, I don't know. It does for

48:11

me. It's a great counterpoint. But

48:15

it's like you fly somewhere and you got two days

48:17

on the road. You go to the grocery store, you

48:19

buy all the stuff to cook for two days. Do

48:21

you actually save money? I think so. I've got my

48:23

stuff picked out. Well, restaurants are way more expensive than

48:25

they used to be for sure. They've gone way up.

48:28

I got my stuff picked out. I make sandwiches. I

48:30

can go to the

48:32

Whole Foods or Trader Joe's, get healthy

48:35

stuff, at least what I hope is

48:37

healthy, and eat

48:39

healthy all weekend. And maybe save a little money

48:41

as opposed to eating unhealthy and saving no money.

48:44

And you buy just the amount that you need

48:46

for the week. If I don't use it, I

48:48

bring it back with me. Put it in my

48:50

bank. I got a lot of money. You've flown

48:52

back with groceries? Oh, yeah. All the time? Yeah,

48:55

I got it. I'd be afraid mustard would explode

48:57

over my flat. I brought

48:59

back a block of cheese and a piece of

49:01

a little bit of sourdough bread this weekend. In

49:04

a suitcase? Yeah. All

49:06

the time I do it. Oh, man. All

49:09

right. That's what I do. What about you guys? What do

49:11

you do to stay healthy out there? And you walk to

49:13

the grocery store with no shirt on? Well, yeah. And when

49:15

I'm in Florida, I do, if that's for sure. Only

49:17

thing I can remember getting sick was with Johnny.

49:20

We did a Nebraska run. Was that

49:22

it? Yeah. And I got sick on

49:24

the road with him. I was having to take care of Brian. Oh,

49:27

geez. He nursed me back to

49:29

health. Some stuff happened I don't want

49:31

to get into, but Johnny was

49:33

very much- What was it? Food poisoning or was it? That

49:36

was like a sinus infection. Did we go to

49:38

a clinic? Yeah, we went to a walk-in clinic. Because I was

49:40

like, fine. I was like, you need to go get a steroid

49:43

shot or something. Steroid shots

49:45

are unbelievable, dude. Yeah, that's what I'm told him. I was

49:47

like, you'll be able to get through. It'll give you like

49:49

the big quick. They wouldn't give me one, though.

49:51

Oh, that's right. We didn't find a clinic that was

49:53

just willing to give a- They gave me like a stranger. Yeah.

49:57

The Z-pack or whatever. The Z-pack. I used to go in when I've

49:59

been on stick on the- road, I'll shop, I'll go

50:01

to a clinic. Do you give steroid shots here?

50:03

And if they say no, we don't, then I'll

50:05

just go to the next one. Dr. Jon I

50:19

feel like nowadays since COVID, nobody wants you

50:21

to do that. But I have done

50:23

it in the past. Like I did a show in

50:26

DC one time, I had my shoes were so worn

50:28

out, that they were really thin at the bottom

50:30

and it was raining. So my, my

50:32

feet got wet. And I performed in

50:35

my socks. And I was real hoarse. I

50:37

had lost my voice without shoes. No shoes.

50:40

Yeah, just in my socks. On

50:42

stage. But the socks weren't wet. They were

50:44

but I didn't know what else to do.

50:46

DC improv? No, no, no, this was some

50:48

other gig. Your soles were so thin that

50:50

they got socks got wet. Yeah. What

50:54

kind of soles were they? They were they just worn out.

50:56

Yeah. And it's hard to

50:59

imagine rubber. So and I did. Yeah, I

51:01

had poison oak, like leading up to that.

51:03

And I think maybe it knocked down my

51:05

immune system. And

51:07

then I got sweat, what killed my

51:09

man? Yeah. And then but I got

51:11

poison oak and I was taking baths

51:13

with like

51:16

apple cider vinegar trying to like

51:19

really dry it up. And then

51:21

I was and then I got

51:23

sick. And I was real, real

51:25

hoarse and I was doing shows in my

51:27

socks and smelled like apple cider vinegar always

51:29

but I pulled through by the end of

51:31

that trip. I was I was healthy and

51:33

I was crushing Oh,

51:36

the audience suffered but you made

51:39

it. That's wild run. I

51:41

had the role with Jordan Jensen and Evan

51:43

Burke. Oh, okay. I remember that run. I

51:45

did. Later, didn't you do an ice cream

51:47

place? Yeah. No, but I can. Oh, yeah.

51:50

Yeah, I remember that. I feel like you

51:52

have to push through if you can

51:54

on the road. Like you only get paid for jokes you tell

51:56

like you can't just be like, I don't feel it. You

51:58

got to do it. Yeah, it's your job, but

52:01

I've had shows where I go, this is going

52:03

to be a problem. I had one science fiction

52:05

one time and it was causing just this one

52:08

eye to weep. Like I couldn't stop it from

52:10

running. Wow. And I was like, I can't, there's

52:12

no way. And every time I would like

52:14

try, I just, I was, I was going to

52:16

just blot it through the show. And when they

52:19

said my name, I guess like the adrenaline of

52:21

the show kicked in and it didn't, the

52:23

whole show, I was good. Did an hour. And then

52:25

when the show ended, they go, we're going to go

52:28

out to dinner. I go, okay. I thought I'd be

52:30

fine. It started running again. The whole dinner. I'm just

52:32

like trying not to be weird. W

52:35

stands for we think Johnny, Johnny. We've

52:37

been, Johnny. Yeah. I

52:40

was asking, I was begging for it. That's my favorite part

52:42

of that email that you begged for a towel. Mrs.

52:48

Shover, please give me towel. No, I was just

52:50

like, if somebody throw me a towel, that'd be

52:52

great. That's how I handle it. My favorite story

52:54

about being sick on stage is Renard Hirsch. He

52:56

was our buddy here in Nashville. He was at

52:58

the Star Dome in Birmingham and he was very

53:01

sick to the point where he

53:03

didn't think he wanted to do the show. But

53:06

he's like, I gotta need the money. Right. You

53:08

know, they went out there and he bombed so

53:10

bad on that

53:12

his fever broke drenched

53:16

and sweat. But he gets off stage. He's

53:18

like, I bombed so bad, but I actually

53:20

feel way better. It's like when

53:23

you throw up, sometimes you feel better. Yeah. Yeah.

53:25

That's what it was. He bombed himself to health.

53:27

I had to bomb for 30 minutes just to

53:29

like get back to, and he did this $25.

53:31

That'd be a great lucky science. I

53:34

remember like, hook

53:37

up, you know, those leads to somebody when they're

53:39

sick and watch them do standup comedy to watch

53:41

how it affects just to see how the

53:43

body's handle it. What's happening now? What about

53:45

the time you had your wisdom teeth pulled

53:47

and then you have something happen

53:49

on stage? Yeah. I thought I had dry sockets

53:51

because I did not, I did not do everything

53:54

they tell you to do once you get your

53:56

wisdom teeth taken out. And I had shows in

53:58

Atlanta all weekend, dude, my, my mouth. was

54:00

just I mean

54:02

throbbing the whole show. I

54:04

was in pain all weekend. That's

54:07

the toughest weekend I've done. Two fakes are

54:09

the worst kind of pain. It's just it's

54:11

in your face. You can't... It like reverberates

54:13

throughout your whole skull. Like my whole head was

54:15

hurting. It was awful. Yeah. Thanks

54:18

for reminding me.

54:21

Next comment from River Heath. Alright.

54:24

That's kind of cool. That's kind of cool. Nate

54:26

would love that. River Heath. I thought it would

54:28

be River Health. That sounds like a hospital. It's

54:30

got to be a stage name. No, River's a...

54:32

River's a name. Okay. I know, but I'm saying

54:34

River Heath. It just feels like a very Hollywood

54:36

name. Like some may chose it for you. River

54:38

Phoenix. That's probably who you're thinking of. Oh, I'm

54:41

not thinking of her. I know River Phoenix. You're

54:43

probably thinking of that Heath bar too. No, you're

54:45

probably right. River Phoenix. As

54:49

a graduate student studying landscape architecture,

54:51

I couldn't have been prouder hearing

54:53

about Dusty's leaf obsession. He

54:55

gets it. I really hope he actually

54:58

films the process of composting the leaves,

55:00

putting down the compost, then seeding it

55:02

with wildflowers in the spring. Keep

55:04

having a good time, Dusty. Yeah,

55:07

I got a lot of great ideas out here. You

55:09

know, you got to start paying attention to some of

55:11

these ideas. You'll be like, this is right around a

55:13

lot of... You got to filter through some stuff. Are

55:16

you... You posted some things about like developing your property

55:18

and things. Yeah, I got some new stuff coming up

55:20

that I got some new plans. But you know, I've

55:22

not been filming the leaf stuff the way that I

55:24

wanted to, but it's breaking down nicely. I

55:27

got a real thing going back

55:29

there. Even the moles are into it.

55:32

I think I'm bringing in so many worms

55:34

because of this that the moles are like...

55:37

And you want the moles. I don't want the moles.

55:39

Oh, I see. That doesn't sound too bad. No,

55:42

I don't want them, but I think that... But

55:44

they're into it anyway. But it's a good sign.

55:46

The yard's in a good place. I think so,

55:48

yeah. Moles are like, hey, they've got like a

55:50

Yelp app. Yeah, neighborhood thing. They're

55:52

like, hey, there are worms over here. This

55:55

guy's backyard is unreal. I'm about to get them,

55:57

though. I'm about to get them. Next

56:00

tell is very good. Thank you Luke Middleton

56:03

Middleton is a good name. I'm

56:05

missing Kate Middleton. I'm

56:07

very tired today Okay, you

56:09

just flew in with your teeth and your Luke

56:15

Middleton who were each of your favorite

56:17

comedians when you were growing up and

56:19

being formed as future

56:21

Comedians good question

56:24

56:27

56:29

Well when you I bet when you started everybody was like

56:31

he's just kind of doing dice clay right now I'm like you

56:33

can get a lot of that cigarette

56:36

56:41

56:43

the yeah Brian shows up to open mic leather

56:45

jacket the cigarette Oh, I'd love to see that

56:49

Don't time. Yeah, I wonder

56:51

if he's getting older like if dice does

56:53

like special stretches Just like

56:55

keep himself. Yeah, man. I had to

56:57

have rotator cuff his rotator cuff went

56:59

out me John What

57:03

if you did leather jacket and

57:05

but like you really did the

57:07

nursery rhyme The dirty

57:10

life. No, they weren't dirty. I did it

57:13

Mary had a little lamb whose fleece

57:15

was white as snow. Yeah I Think

57:21

idea like a really wholesome guy. Yeah

57:24

Even breakfast Brian Bates. I mean it's

57:26

got that kind of Andrew dice. What

57:28

is a wholesome die? It's Yahtzee. You're

57:31

Yahtzee You're it's a wholesome What

57:34

the world needs right Through

57:37

Yahtzee slip. Yeah Good

57:40

stuff. Well, who was it for real or was it

57:42

dice? Did you watch dice back in the day? Remember

57:45

but he's a cultural phenomenon. I didn't

57:47

grow up watching just a ton of

57:49

stand-up comedy. Mm-hmm I'm embarrassed

57:51

to say some of the great comics. I didn't even know

57:54

who they were until I got into it's fine I didn't

57:56

know any of these people either. Well, you should be embarrassed

57:58

as well So

58:01

like Johnny knows, Johnny grew up on stand up and he

58:03

knows all, he watched the evening at the improv and all

58:05

that stuff. Oh man, I was, yeah. I'd go to school

58:07

and like recite, like whoever was on Carson

58:09

the night before, I would try to like rip Chuck

58:11

Yeager beyond there as a panel guest. Then

58:14

some would come on, it's doing the chuckle

58:16

hut the next Friday or whatever and I'd

58:18

be like, who are we talking like, Mort

58:20

Sahl? No, no, no. I'm not that old.

58:23

Just be like, but I remember Carson, I

58:25

remember staying up and watching like Carson's monologue.

58:28

What's funny about Benny, I remember watching Jack

58:30

Benny because when Nick at

58:32

night first became a thing on Nickelodeon, they didn't

58:34

have programming. There wasn't like a ton of children's

58:36

programming. So at night they just run out because

58:38

it was like, you can't do that on television

58:40

and a few other shows. And

58:42

then they would put on these old shows

58:44

from the forties. So it'd be like Burns

58:46

and Allen and the Jack Benny

58:49

show. Honeymooners. So I was like

58:51

an 11 year old. I was watching the Jack

58:53

Benny show. And so

58:55

it did kind of inform my sensibility. I remember knowing

58:57

it was old. It was black and white. But

59:00

I remember thinking it was funny. But

59:02

I mean, yeah, Mort Sahl. Was that the Yield Wishing

59:04

Well? Huh? Was that Jack

59:06

Benny? Yield Wishing Well? I don't know.

59:09

I don't know. Maybe. I remember

59:11

watching like You Bet Your Life with Groucho Marx and The Word of

59:13

the Day and all that and Groucho Marx. But

59:16

it wasn't like that wasn't my... I liked Regan growing

59:18

up like Brian Regan. I still think he's the best

59:20

that's ever done. I think Brian Regan is just the

59:22

best. But yeah, I mean,

59:24

I love Tim Conway. He's

59:26

not comedian, but I mean saying like watching the Carol Burnett show.

59:29

Like Carol Burnett was like royalty in my house. And

59:31

it was so fun like watching something the whole family

59:33

could watch. I think that's kind of what

59:35

Nate has tapped into. That like

59:38

all whole families can come to his show. And so

59:40

you're going to sell five tickets. Two

59:42

people might have gone to somebody else's show. The

59:44

whole family comes to Nate's show. And that's why it

59:46

causes traffic problems. Yeah, he's still gonna get a babysitter

59:48

for my show. You know what I mean? Oh, it

59:50

gets edgy. You're

59:53

not that dirty, but I would like you to get a babysitter.

59:58

Your kid can be there, but... Yeah, that's

1:00:00

a great like slogan to put at the bottom

1:00:02

of the poster instead like pgg just put like

1:00:05

look they can come But I would rather they

1:00:07

yeah. Yeah, I like them, but I don't want

1:00:09

to be you know, ruining, you know Child you

1:00:11

don't have to explain like what did that mean

1:00:13

dad on the way home? But there's also don't

1:00:16

you feel like there's an instinct to kind of?

1:00:19

play to I feel I

1:00:21

would have an instinct to kind of Modify the

1:00:23

show in a way that they would understand

1:00:25

things. Yeah. I mean like I like to

1:00:27

be clean but do adult comment Yeah, like

1:00:29

i'm talking to a dog. Yeah. Yeah. I

1:00:31

did a fundraiser at a high school not

1:00:33

long ago and they were great It was

1:00:35

for like, uh, it was for a high

1:00:37

school women's sports team And

1:00:39

the parents were in the back and the

1:00:41

parents I thought were having a great time

1:00:43

with me The girls on the team

1:00:46

were in the front and they're like They

1:00:48

didn't understand what I was doing. Yeah, and I was

1:00:50

like, god, i'm so old I'm like going through my

1:00:52

act and and it was it was uh, the advice

1:00:55

that I got was like dual don't Don't

1:00:57

change what you're doing Just

1:00:59

so these 11 people in the front

1:01:02

get what's going on, you know, yeah, I

1:01:04

would say high school girls is not my

1:01:06

main demographic no, no, no, not me either.

1:01:08

I've been giving that advice to before but

1:01:10

either Just

1:01:13

anybody No, like i've been giving that

1:01:15

advice before like If you go into a

1:01:18

room and you go well, I know these 11 friends

1:01:20

who've seen my hour are gonna be

1:01:22

here You feel this pressure

1:01:25

to do a lot of news and and

1:01:27

comments. What do you don't do that? What

1:01:29

are you doing? Like those other people are

1:01:31

why you're here. You've got to do that's

1:01:33

why I've never changed my act Yeah, that's the reason

1:01:35

i've never changed it and your

1:01:37

11 friends. They don't want you to bomb right

1:01:41

That's true. Yeah, it's weird for them if you

1:01:43

bomb unless they're comics then they'd like you to bomb

1:01:45

a little bit Yeah, best thing they've ever seen The

1:01:48

next comment comes from our old pal. Actually,

1:01:50

I don't know if he is but derrick

1:01:52

babb. It's a fun name Derek

1:01:54

babb two bees and

1:01:57

when one would suffice it would too

1:02:00

It seems like you're yeah over yeah,

1:02:02

it's too much short for babble on

1:02:05

battle. Yeah, maybe you're supposed to emphasize

1:02:07

it more Derek a bab I

1:02:13

use dusty as a test for my

1:02:15

personal philosophy Oh boy, if I fully

1:02:17

agree with something he says I take

1:02:19

that as a cue to reflect on

1:02:21

my belief Oh Wow, I've never agreed

1:02:23

more with something in this podcast and

1:02:25

when he said I prefer hand washing

1:02:27

over sanitizer But think both are overrated

1:02:30

Yeah, well Derek gets it, you

1:02:32

know what I mean? You just scrub dried leaves

1:02:34

on your hands Yeah, I get some organic matter

1:02:36

on there, you know, but it's like I fully

1:02:38

agree what he says I

1:02:41

take it as a cue to reflect on

1:02:43

my belief. That's what we should all be

1:02:45

doing right question Everything you hear some information

1:02:47

and then do some questioning, you know, you

1:02:49

don't have to agree or disagree You just

1:02:52

go how does this influence how I think?

1:02:54

Mm-hmm. You know what I mean? I don't think he meant

1:02:57

it in that way, but that is yeah, that's right We

1:03:00

should do that Alright

1:03:05

Alyssa Delory Alyssa

1:03:08

Delory about ten years ago I had a

1:03:10

habit of going to Taco Bell a couple

1:03:13

times a week for the crunch wrap supreme

1:03:15

and a Baja blast One

1:03:18

time I ordered something different when

1:03:20

I pulled up to the window the worker commented

1:03:22

about me not getting my usual Yeah, that's I was

1:03:24

mortified I found out that day that I was a regular at a

1:03:26

fast food place Needless

1:03:29

to say I took a long break from going

1:03:31

to Taco Bell. That's very funny Yeah,

1:03:37

it's like when Norm walks into Cheers and they all say

1:03:39

Norm. She had a norm at that Taco Bell. Yeah Yeah,

1:03:41

that's even why she's saying it cuz last week Aaron throughout

1:03:43

would you like to have a place that everybody knows your

1:03:45

name? Yeah, they're always

1:03:47

bad. You came. I like the there's a real appeal to

1:03:49

that for me to be a real Appeal

1:03:52

to that for me to be a regular. Yeah.

1:03:54

I read a story a long time. We got

1:03:56

1:07:45

been there in a in a while. It's not

1:07:48

a strong green room presence there at the comedy.

1:07:50

No, but But

1:07:53

I'm excited to be there the clubs great

1:07:55

the clubs awesome Danielle and everybody there straight

1:07:57

and for me is never an issue There's

1:08:00

plenty of room in the back. You

1:08:02

can just hang out, wander around. I

1:08:04

may have told this story, but the last time

1:08:06

I went and headlined Michael

1:08:08

Alfano, Daniel's father who owns the

1:08:11

club, comes over to me and I'm

1:08:13

thinking this guy is going to give me the respect

1:08:15

I've always longed for. And he was

1:08:17

like, Hey, could you get up? Uh, we need to

1:08:19

set these people here. And all he wanted me to

1:08:21

do was move seats. That was the only

1:08:23

thing he said to me all weekend. That's great because

1:08:25

they needed, uh, they needed room. They were sitting

1:08:27

on the front row. So

1:08:30

in retrospect, it was

1:08:32

partly unprofessional. But

1:08:36

I didn't know the last show I did. There was nobody on the front

1:08:38

row. Oh,

1:08:43

that's great. Uh, if you're like,

1:08:45

he might not even know you were the headliner. Probably

1:08:48

not. Probably not. But

1:08:50

this episode is sponsored by better help. All

1:08:53

right. If you're like Derek Babb and get your philosophy

1:08:55

and life from, from Dusty, you may need

1:08:57

better help. Whether or not

1:08:59

your family gives gifts during the holidays, you

1:09:02

get to define how you give to yourself

1:09:05

and the holidays are a great time to do that. So

1:09:07

others by starting therapy, going easier on yourself

1:09:09

during the tough moments. We all need that. We're

1:09:12

treating yourself to a day of complete rest.

1:09:14

I get plenty of those. Remember to give yourself

1:09:16

some love this holiday season. This

1:09:20

says host elaborate on this or co-hosts

1:09:22

showing in on the conversation. Oh,

1:09:25

I wasn't supposed to read that out. Um, anybody

1:09:27

want to say anything about how we keep going? I'll

1:09:29

chime in. All right. I mean, better help is great.

1:09:31

If you're thinking of starting the best help. I think

1:09:33

they should have called it that. That's a good friend.

1:09:36

That's a, that's their competitor. Oh, okay. Yeah. If

1:09:38

you're thinking about starting therapy, give better

1:09:41

help a try. They offer a network

1:09:43

of license accredited experienced therapists who can

1:09:45

help you with a range of issues,

1:09:48

including depression, anxiety, relationships, trauma, grief,

1:09:50

and more. It's entirely online.

1:09:52

So you can text chat phone or video. Just

1:09:55

fill out a short questionnaire to get matched with

1:09:57

a licensed therapist. You can switch therapists anytime. no

1:10:00

additional charge. I bet that's a big relief

1:10:02

because I'm guessing a big fear or a

1:10:04

big anxiety about starting therapy is like, what

1:10:07

if I get this guy? I

1:10:09

don't vibe with them. This one you just

1:10:11

need to switch. I wonder about that though.

1:10:13

Like if you get a therapist and they're

1:10:15

like, you realize this isn't a fit,

1:10:17

but then they go, well, you have fear of

1:10:19

commitment and that's your problem. And

1:10:22

you always do this. Yeah. They do that

1:10:24

against you. Yeah. I'm like, Oh, all right.

1:10:26

Keep taking the, I think I'm healed. No,

1:10:28

you need six more months. Turns out you

1:10:30

don't have to deal with any of this

1:10:32

when you use better help. That's right. Yeah.

1:10:34

They won't do that to you. It's the

1:10:36

season of giving. Yes. That's what best help

1:10:38

does. Better help will not do that to

1:10:40

1:10:54

know, you said instead of anxiety,

1:10:56

I think you said like anxiety,

1:10:59

like your accent really made it

1:11:02

sound like me. Brian

1:11:04

and anxiety, anxiety, anxiety,

1:11:07

like eczema with beer. Yeah. I'm afraid of

1:11:09

how much eczema you're about to get out

1:11:11

of here. Uh,

1:11:14

speaking of

1:11:16

anxiety, Chulchilla,

1:11:19

Maroon, you guys, yeah. CNN has a documentary.

1:11:21

I think it

1:11:24

came out last night about that

1:11:26

whole Chulchilla bus incident. Oh, really?

1:11:28

And a woman, this

1:11:30

wasn't set up in the program, but she's in it. A woman

1:11:33

and getting to the bottom of things. What

1:11:37

is the answer? I don't know. The story. And,

1:11:41

uh, he loves singing in and Colbert. Clearing

1:11:44

out the news. Yeah. It's just funny that that's

1:11:46

what I mean. I'd rather watch that than anything.

1:11:48

It is a good, did you watch it? No,

1:11:50

but I read that there was a woman who

1:11:52

works at MTSU, Middle Tennessee

1:11:54

State University, who was one of the

1:11:57

kids on the bus. Yes,

1:14:01

before today. That's why it felt different from.

1:14:06

Now we're trying it again, just the outsider.

1:14:08

Amazing. That's great. Thank you. Just so love.

1:14:11

Alright, go ahead. Because what was his connection again?

1:14:13

He worked with Abigail or something? Yeah, he used

1:14:15

to work with her. Yeah, and he got into

1:14:18

some stuff, and that was pretty

1:14:20

early on in the podcast. And he's a believer. Full

1:14:22

on. Big time believer. I forgot to read

1:14:24

that article that someone sent us about

1:14:27

Big Foot. Did you ever see a demon? Yeah, I wanted to

1:14:29

read it, but I was really hoping it would be a video.

1:14:34

Sure. I feel about a lot of articles. Is

1:14:37

it just one Bigfoot, or is it like Bigfoot meaning the species of

1:14:39

Bigfoot? I didn't even get it. This

1:14:41

is why we need to get Kevin John. We

1:14:43

need more info. If Chuck Yeager had a video,

1:14:45

Dusty would be all right. He

1:14:48

never came across my YouTube. No. The

1:14:50

algo hasn't found Chuck Yeager and connected you

1:14:52

two. He's been into a lot

1:14:55

of space stuff. People

1:14:57

going fast. Well, he didn't get that high. Well,

1:15:00

I don't know. You're

1:15:02

saying the next time one of us is not here,

1:15:04

we need to have Kevin John so he can meet

1:15:06

Dusty. I think so. Or

1:15:08

if I'm not here or you're not or something. Yeah, that's

1:15:10

what I'm saying. One of us. Yeah, yeah. Alright. Maybe Nate.

1:15:14

Yeah, maybe Nate. I

1:15:16

think it's just honestly just a one-on-one episode with

1:15:18

Dusty. None of us need to

1:15:20

be here. Would be unbelievable. I'm like the

1:15:22

Frost Nixon interview. It needs to be riveting

1:15:24

television. I would have watched that video

1:15:26

then a Yeager video. Was

1:15:32

there anything else? No. What are we talking about

1:15:34

today? Sleep. We're talking about toys. Alright.

1:15:37

Christmas time is perfect. Yeah,

1:15:40

exactly. Did you have a favorite Christmas toy, the

1:15:42

one that you remember that really stood

1:15:44

out to you? I remember my older

1:15:47

brother got the original Game Boy from

1:15:49

Santa. That was a big deal.

1:15:52

A big deal to see. It was the

1:15:54

first handheld video game that we

1:15:56

had ever seen. It was unbelievable. Didn't they just call it a

1:15:58

Game Boy? He

1:20:00

told them he wanted a Sega. So, you know,

1:20:02

and the game boxes are about the same size.

1:20:04

So on Christmas,

1:20:07

you know, my stepbrother opens

1:20:09

his gift. It's a Sega. I've got

1:20:11

a box similar size. So I'm like,

1:20:14

this is exciting. You know, I opened

1:20:16

it up. Also a Sega. And

1:20:20

my stepmom had told my dad that

1:20:23

they decided that the PlayStations weren't going

1:20:25

to work out because people were scratching

1:20:27

the games. So

1:20:29

they got me a Sega instead,

1:20:31

which was cartridges. They wanted to

1:20:34

stay with cartridges, which was very

1:20:36

disappointing. Yeah.

1:20:38

So we, I didn't open the Sega, took

1:20:40

the Sega back to my mom's house. Me

1:20:42

and my mom took the Sega back to

1:20:44

Walmart, traded it in to PlayStation games. Boom.

1:20:47

And did the other parent ever know? Now

1:20:51

they never know. I mean, hopefully my dad doesn't watch this podcast,

1:20:53

but- Wow. Is he still

1:20:55

married to her? No. No, they're divorced. Oh,

1:20:57

we're safe, man. And, you know, they got

1:20:59

divorced later that next year. Yeah. And

1:21:02

by next Christmas, my dad bought me a PlayStation. Wow. Yeah.

1:21:06

Yeah, you're getting that. It is interesting, like

1:21:08

parents having to do that math in their

1:21:10

head of like, which of these formats is

1:21:12

going to be a long-term. You do have

1:21:14

to do it. Yeah. Like, I

1:21:16

remember there was like, what was it, Blu-ray? And

1:21:18

then there was a- HD DVD. HD DVD. And

1:21:22

one of them was like cheaper to produce,

1:21:24

but one was Sony. And like the Sony

1:21:26

branding was just too- Yeah. And

1:21:29

you had beta Hi-Fi when I was a

1:21:31

kid, you had beta Hi-Fi, which was better

1:21:33

quality audio in the smaller

1:21:35

cassettes. And the machines were just

1:21:37

a little more expensive. And

1:21:40

the technology was better though.

1:21:42

But VHS took off. And so there were people

1:21:45

I knew in my neighborhood that had a beta

1:21:47

machine. And I always imagined like, if I ever

1:21:49

met like a bitter person, I used to say, that guy bought beta. I

1:21:52

would say it. I would think they bought beta. They never

1:21:54

got over that trauma of like buying the wrong form. Right.

1:21:58

Like I had a Sega before it went to- And

1:24:00

then you see a ball zip across the screen,

1:24:02

but you don't see the receiver. Yeah, great It's

1:24:05

like speedy guns always when he used to play tennis with himself

1:24:07

just go side to side Bing-bong

1:24:10

table or whatever. Yeah, yeah Johnny

1:24:15

what about you? Yeah, I remember getting

1:24:17

sorry. I remember like For

1:24:19

some reason this is a make-me-town hole. I remember

1:24:21

getting a stretch Armstrong though. I mean you

1:24:23

pull the arms Oh, do you remember getting one of

1:24:25

those? Yeah Is it

1:24:28

what I could like do yeah, it's full

1:24:30

of goo Yeah, so there's a breaking point

1:24:32

where this red liquid come. Yeah, all right

1:24:34

my toys. Yeah that got introduced in 1976

1:24:37

yeah, so I was I had a red war I was

1:24:39

born 74 so they were still popular when I was you

1:24:41

know Yeah, seven or eight. Yeah, I remember getting one of

1:24:43

them Was

1:24:46

this who was this guy was he a superhero or

1:24:48

was it just like this? I can't remember if he

1:24:50

had like lore about him like if there was a

1:24:52

backstory But do we need that back then it was

1:24:55

just like hey this guy's stretchy. He stretch Armstrong Yeah,

1:24:57

we didn't need like a universe that he lived in

1:24:59

just pull his arm. I Guess

1:25:02

you're right. Yeah, maybe he did but I

1:25:04

just think like now they would need like what is the

1:25:06

cartoon gonna be about now? It's just back there was just

1:25:08

like he's stretchy and then like four guys in a table

1:25:10

We're like he'll be we'll call him stretch Armstrong Originally

1:25:13

the prototype was a sumo

1:25:15

wrestler That would stretch

1:25:18

right, but he was too bulky and large

1:25:20

So the all-american body was and maybe it

1:25:22

cost the more more material in him They're

1:25:24

like just gonna the price point of this

1:25:26

has got to be and they knew sumo

1:25:28

wrestlers weren't that flexible. Yeah Yeah,

1:25:31

and will a kid play with like a fat

1:25:33

doll? Yeah, that's another thing, you know Yeah,

1:25:37

do we do would parents have been like I'm not

1:25:39

giving my kid this fat doll to play with They're

1:25:42

just pushing on it like a potato

1:25:44

now. There's a regular-sized guy What

1:25:47

would what would stretch Armstrong have been if he was a

1:25:49

sore would have been like fats McGee like what would he

1:25:51

have? That have been

1:25:54

That's McGee would be great. That's a great

1:25:57

boy be some kind of stretch reference. Yeah.

1:25:59

Yeah Slabs my game. Skin

1:26:18

predate Lincoln. We know that. Oh

1:26:20

1:26:22

out? Well, it's after Sticks and Wheel,

1:26:24

1:26:27

1:26:30

1:27:02

of like the kinetic energy of the thing bouncing back up and

1:27:05

re-rolling itself. I wonder if they thought it was. Yeah, I'm not

1:27:07

buying that. 500 BC. Well, I mean

1:27:09

it probably doesn't look like our Yo-Yo, but

1:27:11

it's. It's a

1:27:13

1791. Look at this lady in a hood dress playing.

1:27:15

Illustration of a woman playing with an early version of

1:27:17

the Yo-Yo, which was then called a Bandalore. It seems

1:27:19

like, this seems like a hipster lady. She won't even

1:27:21

put down her fan to play with it. She's got

1:27:23

a fan in one hand and a Yo-Yo. It was

1:27:26

a Greek vase painting from 440 BC

1:27:28

showing a boy playing with the

1:27:30

Yo-Yo. Or holding a

1:27:32

rock on a string. Yeah,

1:27:35

sure. They're getting ready to swing around. Yeah,

1:27:37

this is the beginning of a war. You're

1:27:41

playing with a Yo-Yo. And just

1:27:43

any type of ball has been around. Yeah. Right.

1:27:46

I mean is there any more toy that stood the test of time than just a

1:27:49

doll I guess or a ball? This

1:27:51

1:29:20

1:29:22

I didn't know this villain Where they actually

1:29:26

1:29:29

much This one was like, you know, he's

1:29:31

1:29:33

then if it got hit one time, it

1:29:35

1:29:46

He would be Adam and then he would

1:29:48

train he would go by the power

1:29:50

of Grayskull And then he would hold his sword up

1:29:52

to the sky. I don't get in that witchcraft But

1:29:57

I used to do it when I was a kid nobody was teaching me

1:29:59

this stuff I don't I don't get into it now,

1:30:01

but when I was a kid, I was playing

1:30:03

He-Man and I did like that. And

1:30:07

I was at him changing into He-Man and my

1:30:09

cousin shot me in the chest with a BB

1:30:11

gun before I could fully transition

1:30:13

and went- You had

1:30:15

damage right here. Yeah, I went through my lung. Really?

1:30:17

Yeah, I was looking like this and

1:30:19

still in my back to this day, the BB is. You do

1:30:21

not have a BB in your back? I do, yeah. Wow.

1:30:25

Wow. Well, you can't see it. I should

1:30:27

have brought my axe. Can you feel it or is it just

1:30:29

in- No, it's just in there. So it's not near the surface?

1:30:31

No, it's deep in there. Why

1:30:33

did they decide to leave it in? They're just like, this

1:30:35

is not worth surgery? Well, I went to the hospital and

1:30:37

I, yeah, I only spent a night in the hospital

1:30:39

and they were like, he's going to be fine. A night

1:30:42

though? I'm not serious. And the doctor

1:30:44

was like, told my dad, he goes, you can

1:30:46

take it out. He goes, you can probably leave it in

1:30:48

there or you can have it taken out. And

1:30:50

my dad goes, nah, let's just leave it.

1:30:52

It's weird as a gift choice to parents

1:30:54

as a surgeon. Yeah. You

1:30:56

know what? I think he was saying- It

1:30:59

might be worse to go and cut you

1:31:01

open and take it out. So

1:31:03

I got x-rayed about 10 years ago and you

1:31:05

could still see it in there. Wow. You

1:31:08

ever go through a metal detector and it goes off? Never. I

1:31:10

did have an MRI one time and they were like, do

1:31:12

you have any shrapnel in your body? And I was like,

1:31:14

well- A little bit. Yeah. Got

1:31:17

some pencil lead. Yeah. And

1:31:19

I said, if this BB comes out during this MRI, I want it.

1:31:22

Oh yeah. You know what I mean? I've had- The

1:31:24

pings stick to the ceiling of the thing. At that point, I've been

1:31:26

carrying this thing. Covered in your flesh. Yeah, I've been carrying this for

1:31:28

20 years. I want that. What happened

1:31:31

to the guy who shot you? It's my cousin. He's

1:31:33

all around. Okay. But

1:31:35

were there any kind of repercussions? No. He

1:31:37

cried for a while. How old was he? He's

1:31:39

about four years older than me. Maybe five

1:31:41

years older than me. Too old to be shooting

1:31:43

me in the chest with a BB gun, I'll tell you. Wow.

1:31:47

Oh, in the chest. Somehow I missed it. It went

1:31:49

through? Yeah, he shot me in the chest. It went

1:31:51

through my lung. Wow. It's a BB. I

1:31:54

thought I could even do that. It was my grandfather's old

1:31:56

air rifle. Yeah. It was very powerful in the air. Oh,

1:31:59

before that was regular. And

1:34:00

you know, they have like an, they're going to

1:34:02

be totally obsolete. But this thing's meanwhile,

1:34:04

like a mechanical toy or like a physical toy, like

1:34:06

a ball that you can hold. Like, I don't

1:34:09

know. Yeah. I'm I'm all

1:34:11

about the physical stuff. I still like to

1:34:13

buy DVDs. I mean, I'm all about having

1:34:15

a thing. You say that if

1:34:17

you were a kid and you had no offense, Brian, but

1:34:19

if you were a kid and you had that, and then

1:34:21

somebody goes, Hey, do you want a PlayStation? Yeah. Or an

1:34:24

I know I'm in the physical. Well,

1:34:26

let's be honest though. It got the

1:34:28

physical got better before we went to

1:34:30

digital. Yeah. Well, that's true

1:34:32

too. But if you're, it depends on

1:34:34

how old you are. I mean, when

1:34:36

you're a real little, be careful on

1:34:38

this table. Word,

1:34:44

it might catch this table. I

1:34:46

would play with that all when I was young,

1:34:48

I would love having that kind of thing. Yeah.

1:34:50

And the great, I mean, I looked up some

1:34:52

stuff. What about a ladle or something, right? Spatula.

1:34:55

Yeah. Yeah. Spatula. Oh yeah. Yeah. That was

1:34:57

my main. That's why you didn't bring any

1:35:00

toys. Yeah. Yeah. My

1:35:02

mom still has that spatula. The one that I

1:35:04

play with. Right. It's still just in the kitchen

1:35:06

cabinet. For reference

1:35:08

here, every, there are four home videos

1:35:10

of my childhood. I was like,

1:35:13

that's another crazy thing you think about, like how

1:35:15

many videos do you have of y'all's kids now?

1:35:17

Like they're, much of their

1:35:20

life is documented, right? Just for your own benefit.

1:35:22

I have like four of

1:35:24

when I was a baby and all four of them,

1:35:26

I'm holding the spatula. That was

1:35:29

the toy. That was the toy.

1:35:31

I cried. I didn't have it. Like it wasn't like

1:35:33

they were forcing it on me. It's like, I wanted

1:35:35

this. I just wanted to hold it. They

1:35:38

were trying to wean you off as fast. I want to enable it. It

1:35:40

was like a security blanket. Yes. Yeah,

1:35:43

exactly. I mean, it's not like you wanted to make food.

1:35:45

You just liked holding the spatula. No, I didn't even know

1:35:47

what it did. I just liked the shape

1:35:50

of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just liked holding it.

1:35:52

Yeah. I mean, I looked at

1:35:54

some stuff about gender appropriate toys and there's

1:35:56

different, some, some

1:35:59

psychology. I guess, or I think

1:36:02

psychologists say that

1:36:05

kids are biologically, girls

1:36:07

are going to lean toward dolls and

1:36:09

nurturing things like that. Yeah, maybe. Boys

1:36:12

are going to lean toward guns and stuff like

1:36:14

that. And some say it's all about- Absolutely two

1:36:16

options, guns and dolls. Guns and dolls. Yeah.

1:36:21

But, and then some say no, it's all about

1:36:23

how you teach them. Right. You

1:36:25

can create- I played with dolls growing up. I don't really understand

1:36:27

the difference between dolls and action figures. Well, that's why they had

1:36:29

to call it an action figure because boys would be like, isn't

1:36:31

it dolls? Right. Yeah.

1:36:34

I mean, the original Barbie, you know, for boys,

1:36:36

they had to make G.I. Joe. That was the doll

1:36:39

that kind of- Or Ken wasn't for the, for boys?

1:36:41

No, no. I think Girls, yeah, just thought that was

1:36:43

part of the- Johnny, you were telling

1:36:45

me, you've seen Barbie three times and it spoke to

1:36:47

you. So what was it about that movie that really-

1:36:51

I have seen it one. Yeah. Is it

1:36:53

good? I haven't seen it. Yeah. Yeah.

1:36:57

Really well done, I'm sure. It's 20 months old. She

1:37:00

loves playing with a stick in

1:37:02

the yard just as much as

1:37:04

she does with a doll. Oh, that's

1:37:06

good. Yeah. Yeah. I

1:37:09

think that's fine. You're like, that's great because we're very poor. Yeah.

1:37:11

We're going to need you to lower your standards. I mean, I would assume Daisy's the same way. Yeah.

1:37:14

I mean, you know, yeah, I mean, Daisy

1:37:16

gets into it. I mean, she plays with

1:37:18

the macho man, but Daisy is very much

1:37:20

like she likes, she has a house that

1:37:23

she plays with and she likes her little

1:37:25

babies. And she likes

1:37:27

the mom of the babies and

1:37:29

she really, you know, Daisy

1:37:32

really has some maternal instincts I feel

1:37:34

like where she's, you know, we're not-

1:37:37

I mean, I got all kinds of toys at the high

1:37:39

and it's like, she's not, you know, we're

1:37:41

not forcing any kind of toys. Right. But

1:37:43

she does tend to lean more towards dolls

1:37:46

and little babies and stuff like that.

1:37:48

And you know. Give them a spatula, see what happens.

1:37:50

Yeah. They might be into it. Yeah.

1:37:53

And also we'll get outside and rake some

1:37:55

leaves and stomping the leaves with me and

1:37:57

you know. You know, another interesting thing is-

1:42:00

Push them out. You know what they

1:42:02

really need is game time. Oh man, game

1:42:04

time. And it's the best time of year

1:42:06

for game time. That's what I've been telling people. It

1:42:09

is the holiday season and game time

1:42:13

is a really interesting option for gift ideas. A lot

1:42:15

of times you have people in your life and you

1:42:18

go, what can I even get that person? They have

1:42:20

a lot of stuff.

1:42:22

They have material things. What about

1:42:24

the gift of experiences? What

1:42:26

about the gift of getting out and doing things?

1:42:28

I think that's the best option. With our schedule

1:42:30

still hectic around the holidays, we

1:42:32

like using the game time app. It has

1:42:34

great prices on last minute tickets and flash

1:42:37

1:42:39

1:43:07

don't worry about it. I

1:43:13

1:43:15

going to be an issue. Game time is the

1:44:08

Well, I've lost one of my notes, but there's

1:44:10

a toy hall of fame in Rochester,

1:44:12

New York. And

1:44:14

the first, yeah, it's a good call,

1:44:17

the first induction, 1998,

1:44:19

1999, it was like a

1:44:25

who's who of toys. Slinky?

1:44:27

Oh, Slinky. I was in

1:44:29

the, my sister was driving a car and I hit her in

1:44:31

the head with a slinky one time I was driving. She took

1:44:33

it from me and threw it out the window. How do you

1:44:36

hit somebody with a slink? I just kind of, you know, held

1:44:38

it in one hand, you know, part of it. So

1:44:40

you never let go of you're in the back seat. Yeah,

1:44:42

you let it slink out. You took it from me through

1:44:44

it right out the window. And it's still going. Yeah. Yeah.

1:44:48

Downhill. Yeah. Yeah.

1:44:50

Perpetual energy. It's like medicine at

1:44:53

the house. Yeah. It's

1:44:55

amazing how well they work too. I remember playing

1:44:57

with Slinky in my grandparents' stairwell.

1:45:00

And it worked every time. You think

1:45:03

it would. Yeah. You know,

1:45:05

I lived in a trailer and had a

1:45:07

slinky. I had three steps leading up to

1:45:09

the trailer to play with my slinky. Kind

1:45:13

of a bummer of a gift to get. Yeah.

1:45:16

You can't even finish the song. It walks downstairs alone. It's

1:45:19

done. That's the song's over. It's Slinky.

1:45:21

Start again. A slinky in

1:45:24

a trailer park. Yeah.

1:45:29

I also had a skateboard and I lived on a

1:45:32

dirt road. I mean, that is rough. Do

1:45:34

you have a TV for that PlayStation? I

1:45:37

did have a TV. We

1:45:40

had pay-per-view wrestling to order. Oh,

1:45:44

there you go. Well, Slinkies weren't an immediate

1:45:46

hit when they first came out until they

1:45:48

convinced the toy store to build a ramp

1:45:50

and let it be on display. Well, there

1:45:52

you go. You got to see how it

1:45:54

works. Yeah. And then it took off. Marketing

1:45:57

right there. Legos. You guys big

1:46:00

in the legos. I

1:46:02

made a Lego magazine once when I was a kid. Oh,

1:46:05

yeah. Sent in a picture of me with something I

1:46:07

built and it made the magazine. What? Yeah, it was

1:46:09

a big deal. Oh, I thought you made a Lego.

1:46:11

You made a magazine out of Legos. It's like, what?

1:46:13

How do you do that? How are you pages? That's

1:46:16

a heavy, the 10 commandments you're holding up

1:46:18

there. I

1:46:22

was featured in the Lego magazine. What

1:46:24

did you build? Yeah. Just some spaceship

1:46:26

or something. Just some spaceship. Yeah, yeah.

1:46:28

That's been impressive. Yeah, it must have

1:46:30

been. Wow. This is from

1:46:32

your head that wasn't a kit. You made it from

1:46:34

your imagination. No, it's just something I built. This is

1:46:36

before. Now Lego, there's a Lego store across from

1:46:39

the Columbus funny bone. Yeah, it's like right there.

1:46:41

And you can look in there and everything's just

1:46:43

like these kits that

1:46:46

I feel like, I don't know if kids,

1:46:48

like kids these days. Yeah. I don't know,

1:46:50

but I just had a huge bucket of

1:46:52

just random whatever. Like there was no color

1:46:55

coordination. I couldn't afford to do that. It's

1:46:57

so funny you say that because I went

1:46:59

into that store looking for just a bucket

1:47:01

of Legos for my kid. I wanted to

1:47:03

just get her something to play with and

1:47:05

they were all kits. I'm like, I don't

1:47:07

want her to have to have an assignment.

1:47:09

Yeah, exactly. You're just following instructions. You want a teacher

1:47:11

to be outside of the box anyway. Like what's in

1:47:14

your head? What do you think is this should be?

1:47:16

Exactly. She could pay you pay $300 and

1:47:18

she'll build the Batmobile. Right now. That's what it

1:47:21

is now. Yeah. Yeah. When I was a

1:47:23

kid, it was just the blocks. But now

1:47:25

it's like there's a

1:47:27

Lego land place, right? Like a museum or a music

1:47:30

park. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

1:47:32

And they're cool. That's cool. Yeah.

1:47:35

You know, a hurricane hit Lego land. Really?

1:47:38

They estimated the devastation is about a million

1:47:41

square blocks. So

1:47:44

Johnny W. Rischal. And thanks for listening. That's

1:47:46

Nate Land. I think we got what we

1:47:48

need. Goodbye folks. That's

1:47:51

good. That is good. So Lego. We

1:47:53

had a good, I didn't know there was a joke

1:47:55

coming. I'm sorry. I mean, I thought maybe at

1:47:57

the end, but that was good. Thank you. That's a great joke. Lego

1:48:01

is a Danish

1:48:03

word. Danish?

1:48:06

Yeah. Ugh. Legate,

1:48:08

which means play well. Well, you just hate everybody. I don't

1:48:10

know. I don't even know. I don't

1:48:13

know. I was thinking of the breakfast then. Good.

1:48:17

Lego is a breakfast item word. Anyway,

1:48:20

it means play well. You know what

1:48:22

the plural of Lego is? Legos, let's

1:48:24

go. Sort of

1:48:27

like John Criss. Yeah, let's go.

1:48:29

Legolas. Johnnie? I

1:48:32

don't know. League Eye? Is

1:48:34

it not just Legos? Legai. It's

1:48:36

just Lego. It's like deer. Yeah. It's

1:48:39

like deer. The plural of deer. Fish.

1:48:42

Yeah. Yeah. There

1:48:44

are 400 billion Lego bricks on Earth. Whoa.

1:48:48

400 billion. 400 billion. Wow. That's

1:48:51

too many. I don't care. 50 to a person.

1:48:53

Now, this is months and months ago and people

1:48:55

got sick of it, but we had an ongoing

1:48:57

debate about whether there were more wheels or doors

1:48:59

in the world. My

1:49:02

argument was the deciding factor in

1:49:04

favor of wheels was the amount

1:49:06

of wheels that Lego produces

1:49:08

every year. Millions

1:49:11

and millions and millions of wheels

1:49:14

that Lego makes. Do they

1:49:16

make doors to them? Maybe.

1:49:19

But not a couple. A

1:49:22

couple dozen they make a year, but

1:49:24

wheels are so common. I

1:49:27

mean, you just heard the numbers. That's billions and billions

1:49:29

and billions. Well, I wasn't around for this debate, I

1:49:31

don't think. So I really want to get into it,

1:49:34

but I feel like you said people got sick of

1:49:36

it. People did get sick of it. Well,

1:49:39

they got sick of it in two seconds. What's

1:49:42

the old saying? The voice of the people is the

1:49:44

voice of God. That's the voice of Nate. Yeah.

1:49:46

He knows when to shut it down. He's like, this is hurting my brain.

1:49:49

I got to shut it off. You got to

1:49:51

think there's a lot of, I would feel like

1:49:53

there's a lot of countries and cities where there

1:49:55

are a lot of homes, but not

1:49:57

a lot of cars. doors

1:50:00

but it's not just cars that you're

1:50:02

getting wheels wheels are on everything that

1:50:06

could be chairs we're sitting on there's so

1:50:08

many wheels in this room yeah

1:50:11

i don't even think it's particularly close but there's

1:50:13

also a lot of doors in here look at

1:50:15

all these doors yeah if

1:50:17

there's more wheels all right

1:50:20

we'll talk about it later um

1:50:22

that's all right just two more interesting lego

1:50:24

facts okay any lego brick

1:50:27

since 1958 will still work

1:50:29

today they make them what

1:50:32

happened i think did they change they started oh

1:50:35

wow yeah they haven't changed any of

1:50:37

the sizes i know or maybe all

1:50:39

right that's maybe not when they started

1:50:41

but but the still the it'll still

1:50:43

work the the holes in the yeah

1:50:45

yeah yeah yeah yeah provided

1:50:47

it's not been melted right

1:50:50

sure well that's pretty

1:50:52

much that's true i

1:50:55

guess it's called a stud melting will change the

1:50:57

structure of something

1:50:59

an eight stud lego brick if

1:51:02

you had six of them they could

1:51:04

be combined into 915

1:51:07

million different configurations i

1:51:09

don't really understand that i don't know that amount

1:51:11

you can put them on yeah they

1:51:13

could be the 915 million that's right that

1:51:15

was five factorial well yeah

1:51:18

i'm not gonna do all 900 million oh

1:51:20

okay i appreciate that just do the first

1:51:22

feel like you got too many zero can

1:51:24

i say i was in so

1:51:26

there's a store in knoxville and i was there

1:51:28

the other day and uh on yeah what's your

1:51:30

age no this is my niece and we're going

1:51:33

and it's like this you know i got a hometown crowd

1:51:35

yeah no but i was there and there's like a general

1:51:38

store and it's one of those like it's kind of like

1:51:40

a cracker barrel vibe in there where

1:51:42

there's all the old candies and

1:51:44

i'm looking around like oh a bit of honey there's all these

1:51:46

old candies i'm like you know they're never as good as you

1:51:48

remember them but in

1:51:50

one bin was uh lego

1:51:53

bricks that were sweet tarts it

1:51:56

was a big bag of them and i'm thinking like

1:51:58

this is a bad idea horrible You're teaching

1:52:00

kids to eat Lego bricks. And that's the main

1:52:02

thing about Legos. They're like, you will kill them.

1:52:04

And it looks like they have little bumps. They

1:52:07

look like they would actually connect. Wow. You

1:52:09

could build with them. I was like, what are we doing? How

1:52:11

are they? It tastes good. I didn't get

1:52:13

them because I thought this ends up, I don't want to feed into

1:52:16

big sweet tarts or whatever the message they're sending them to

1:52:18

kids. Good for you, Johnny. Thanks,

1:52:20

sweetheart. You took a stand. I struck

1:52:22

a blow that day for... Mm-hmm. Yeah. It's

1:52:25

about time somebody said that. There's a raw... Talk about dog

1:52:27

toys. There's a dog, a

1:52:29

rawhide shoe that

1:52:32

you can buy. And I was like, you're

1:52:34

teaching a dog to eat shoes. Oh, horrible.

1:52:37

Horrible. It's shaped like a shoe. Yeah. How

1:52:40

comfortable is it? How that tastes. I

1:52:42

put it on and stepped on a Lego. It protected

1:52:44

me. It's not like that. Do

1:52:46

you guys remember how the teddy bear

1:52:49

started? Yes. It was

1:52:51

Theodore Roosevelt. Saved a bear. That's

1:52:53

right. So they commemorate it. Teddy bear.

1:52:56

Yes. Isn't that fun? Chuck

1:52:58

Yanger was there. Have you ever heard of Theodore

1:53:00

Roosevelt? No. Teddy

1:53:04

Roosevelt. Teddy Roosevelt. Anyway,

1:53:06

it doesn't matter. The Bull Moose Party? You've

1:53:09

never heard of it? No, I do know

1:53:11

old Teddy. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1:53:13

yeah. So it was a huge, huge hit. I mean,

1:53:15

this guy did something for the country. Unlike

1:53:18

Charles Yanger. Yeah. That guy.

1:53:23

Anyway, the teddy bear became a huge, huge

1:53:25

hit. So when he left office, the

1:53:28

toy makers were like, uh-oh, nobody's going to buy

1:53:30

the teddy bear anymore because we got a new

1:53:32

president. Yeah. I told this story

1:53:34

on the president's episode. Who was the next president? The president's episode.

1:53:37

I'm going to get there. William Taft, who

1:53:39

was a very portly man. Rumor is he

1:53:41

got stuck in his bathtub. He

1:53:43

... Flabs McGee, they call him. Yeah,

1:53:46

yeah, yeah. He

1:53:49

ate an 18-pound cook possum.

1:53:54

And the people were like, hey, that could be our thing.

1:53:56

So they created a stuffed animal called Billy the possum. Wow.

1:54:00

And it did not take off like the teddy bear as

1:54:02

you might imagine. Well, yeah, possums aren't as cute. Yeah,

1:54:05

and just the whole story. One's saving a bear,

1:54:07

the other one's eating the possum. Oh,

1:54:09

right. So that's a little bit different. Yeah, a little

1:54:11

bit different. Doesn't look good for the country too if

1:54:13

the president's having to eat a possum. Yeah. Like I

1:54:16

promise I'll get us out of this mess we're in.

1:54:18

Yeah. I'm going to eat this 18-pound possum.

1:54:20

Yeah. It actually looks better than

1:54:22

I thought it would. Yeah, yeah. That's not bad. It

1:54:24

still looks like, I mean, I don't want to touch it.

1:54:27

Yeah. Yeah. He looks like he's

1:54:29

looking at you like, what do you think you're doing there? It's

1:54:32

very, you know, it's like you

1:54:34

don't belong here. Oh, that's what possums do.

1:54:36

Yeah, that is what they do feel like

1:54:38

they own the place. Raccoons too. Yeah. Yeah.

1:54:42

Not a fan of either. Well, I can't

1:54:44

find my list of the other top toys. Anybody

1:54:46

want to mention one before we wrap it up?

1:54:48

Well, GI Joe was, I didn't have a GI

1:54:50

Joe to bring, but when I was a kid,

1:54:52

that was my favorite toy. I had a ton

1:54:54

of GI Joe's. I loved

1:54:56

GI Joe. I mean, that was

1:54:58

everything to me with the GI

1:55:01

Joe. You know, you

1:55:03

may not know this about me, but I used to, I tried

1:55:06

to make my own toys. For

1:55:09

a while, I would cut up

1:55:12

little like army men, like the

1:55:14

little plastic green army men. I had like cavemen,

1:55:16

I had all the, and I would cut them

1:55:19

up, and then I would hot glue them back

1:55:21

in different arrangements. And then I would paint them.

1:55:24

And then I would take pictures of them,

1:55:27

and I would write letters to toy companies

1:55:29

and try to get them to make my

1:55:31

toys. Are you serious? Oh, that's

1:55:33

amazing. I didn't even think about it. Entrepreneur, bro.

1:55:35

Yeah, I didn't even think about this, but I

1:55:37

have some of the letters at my house where

1:55:40

they would write back to me. Rejection

1:55:43

letters. Yeah, they were cool

1:55:45

about it, I'm sure. Yeah, that's amazing. That's awesome.

1:55:48

Yeah. Have you guys, would you guys want

1:55:50

an action figure of yours? Do you think that would be a

1:55:52
