Starting point is 00:00:00 hello folks and hey bear welcome to the nateland podcast i'm here with uh uh brian bates aaron weber dusty sleigh yep look at y'all. All here. Welcome. We had to pre-record this one because I don't know when it's coming out, but I'm somewhere. Yeah, did we ever? I don't know. It was a good time. Wherever we were at was really great.
Starting point is 00:00:38 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, or where we're going. Yes. Where we're at this week is fun. It's all good. It's is fun. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good. What's your hat now?
Starting point is 00:00:48 It's the Lexington Legends. This is the beer cheese. This is their alternate jersey. Yeah, that's fun. What's your hat? A golf course in Hawaii. Kapalua. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:59 Yeah. Yep. Some Kmart over here. This is an old retail market. Kmart. Locally. Used to be local, but it felt local. Did you buy it?
Starting point is 00:01:15 No, someone sent this to me. Oh, okay. Was it ever bigger than Walmart? I feel like they were hand-in-hand at some point. I think Kmart was before Walmart, wasn't it? No. I think Walmart became Kmart. I mean, when I was a kid, Walmart felt like a classic store.
Starting point is 00:01:31 You felt like you knew Sam Walton. And Kmart was a hot store. I mean, we'd go in there and they had, you know, Ices. I would say Kmart and Target probably have more to do each other than Walmart. I just remember there was a Kmart in Lebanon before Walmart came. They were the new kid on the block. I'm sure that's how you're going off the history of Walmart is you go, well, Lebanon, it was much different there.
Starting point is 00:01:55 You know, in Opelika, well, maybe it's Auburn, but Kmart, they closed the Kmart. Closed the Kmart. Walmart opened a store in the building. Biggest slap in the face you could possibly do. Close to Kmart. Oh, what? So Walmart overtook Kmart in 1992.
Starting point is 00:02:11 And since then, obviously, it's just been a blowout. But there was a stretch there where Kmart was the largest retail store in the United States. Who was first? Bigger than Walmart. Back in my day. Who was first? Walmart is. Walmart was first? K is. Kmart was.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Kmart was first. Kmart was first, yeah. Kmart was America's largest retail supply store. Walmart came along and Henry Forded them. That's right. And stole their idea. I know, but does it still mean that Walmart was not first? Or Kmart is?
Starting point is 00:02:43 I mean, I still haven't seen the date of going like, Kmart was first, then Walmart came along. It's like Kmart got not first. Or Kmart. Like, I mean, I still haven't seen the date of going like Kmart was first, then Walmart came on. Like, it's like Kmart got bigger first. Oh, right. Like, it's like. I can't even think of another store. Yeah, yeah. I mean.
Starting point is 00:02:55 I would love to just type in, is Kmart like. Just when they started. When they started. Okay. 1899 in Detroit. Boom. 1899? detroit so 1899 and walmart i remember that walmart started 1962 is that yeah and target started in 1902 target yeah i guess so sears 1893 so walmart was new to the show they were johnny come lately they were in 1960 and if you're kmart you're thinking who's this idiot trying to compete with us and now they're the biggest
Starting point is 00:03:31 they're the single biggest employer in the united states is that true i don't know yeah yeah still never really googling this never really got the one i mean the walmart date says the people also search i don't know if that's a fact you still have somehow googled not exactly everything that i would like i think i may be if not entirely sure what we're let's look up what it was saying like yeah i wanted it looks like kmart was before walmart's what i wanted to know and then you typed in what overtook when did wal Walmart overtake Kmart? Which the conversation I think started with who was first. And then you just went to overtake. Very college way to go.
Starting point is 00:04:13 I'm hoping to get some corporate games. When I'm just going, I just want to see the actual numbers. It started with, was Kmart ever bigger than Walmart? Yeah. And then you said, and I said, well, Kmart was here first. Yeah. Yeah. And then I didn't believe that. And then. I'm and I said, well, Kmart was here first. Yeah. Yeah. And then I didn't believe that.
Starting point is 00:04:27 And then. I'm hoping to get a corporate gig with Kmart. Still, I would love to just see. There's one left. When did Walmart start? I just would love, I believe it's that 1962.
Starting point is 00:04:37 But I just want to see it. Just maybe click it so I can just see it outside. You're giving me, you're like. That's when they became the largest. When did they start? Yeah, what is happening?
Starting point is 00:04:51 I'm not saying that... This is tough, man. Googling's hard. When did Walmart start? When did Walmart start? Yes. I thought we already had that. It's 1962.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Okay, I just wanted to see it like that. Because I see the people also search. I'm not saying that that wasn't true, but I was like, I just wanted to see it like that. Because I see the people also search. I'm not saying that that wasn't true, but I was like, I just wanted to see it. You were never giving me a direct, like I wanted my own Google search Walmart. You wanted it in the larger font. I wanted it in the larger font. All right, my bad. Kroger opened in 1883.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Yeah, yeah. Costco, 1976. Wow. There's Costco, there's Walmarts. They're new. New to the game. Well, Sears, but they're all, Kroger's Walmarts. They're new. New to the game. Well, Sears, but they're all, Kroger's still doing good. Sears was a catalog, you know.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Well, Sears, it said, started in 18, before 1893 or something like that. Yeah. And they were just a catalog. But they were the big deal. I remember when Sears was, like, when I was around, Sears was a bigger deal. It was a big part of the mall. I wonder what happened. Sears, Gaifers, yeah um jc penny that was the mall yeah i don't know if it's still there or not but i've bought many appliance from sears scratch and dent yeah i used to deliver for sears
Starting point is 00:05:56 scratch and dent i delivered uh uh when i did refrigerators and stuff like that we did it there's one off of there They're our Applebee's. Is it literally products that have been scratched and dented? And usually you can't even find where the mark is. Oh, okay. It's like something happened, they can't sell it. Oh, that's great. I wish they'd still have that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 00:06:17 They may still have it over there. I delivered from that place. It's all scratched and dented now, though. I have trouble imagining a world where Sears collapsed, but Sears scratch and dent is still thriving. That's a fair point dented now, though. I have trouble imagining a world where Sears collapsed, but Sears scratched and dented is still thriving. That's a fair point. In a mall somewhere. Well, it wasn't a mall.
Starting point is 00:06:30 It was on Thompson Lane near Nate's work. It was near where I work. I worked there, too, when I did my delivery. I think there's one Kmart left in the country. Oh, yeah? I believe that's true. It may have closed. We're getting about three Google searches from Aaron.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Or it may be recently closed. How many K-Marts left? As of April 2022, which is this year, there are three in the continental U.S. It's like blockbusters. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Florida, Guam, of course.
Starting point is 00:07:03 New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, Virgin Island, St. Croix. uh florida guam of course new jersey new york puerto rico virgin island st croix croix all right all right that's where i would have guessed yeah support kmart people get out there and shop let them know let them know yeah uh so let's start with you guys' comments this week. Steven Nupp, N-U-P-P, was in Sam's Club in Corpus Christi, Texas, and saw another Nate Land fan. For some reason, I yelled out, hello, folks, without looking.
Starting point is 00:07:36 He just yelled, hey, bear, and we just went about our day. It was beautiful. I love that. Wow. How did he know it was a Nate Land fan? Because we all look the same. You can just tell. It's in the eyes. It's just, just look at another person's eyes, and you're like, that's a Nate Land fan.
Starting point is 00:07:55 There's just nothing behind him. There's nothing, yeah. He was lost in the store. Not much. Yeah. Sarah Nestetter. Nate has dyslexia. Aaron has gout.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Brian had a stroke. And Dusty must have ADHD. The amount of fidgeting he does combined with how often he zones out makes me absolutely certain, despite my lack of any medical training whatsoever. And that's the kind of training, that's the kind of advice we like to hear from. That is the kind of diagnosis I like, where you don't have a lot of training behind it
Starting point is 00:08:28 but yeah i'm a fidgeter but um i got a lot going on you know i love that you were fidgeting with your hands till it got to that part of the sentence and you read it and then you stopped i was like yeah sarah take it easy yeah you know what i mean they tell me my hands are someone my hands still look orange. Yeah, I think someone was worried. This will probably come out after the special, but they didn't want you to play a lot of golf before the special because they didn't want your hands to look orange on the special. Do they look orange?
Starting point is 00:08:53 I don't think so. I don't think so. No, I think they look fine. I would think they look orange because of the cameras or something. Maybe that's the case. Yeah, because it's the current cameras. It's the generation's fault. you don't walk around in life and people are like, man, that guy's hands are orange. Brian, you had a stroke?
Starting point is 00:09:12 Well, I shake a man's hands and he goes, go. He goes, you got something on the back of your hand. I go, what? We'll do the whole episode like this, see if you get used to it. I just need everybody to get used to it. I don't. No, I have thought get used to it. I just need everybody to get used to it. I don't. No, I have thought about it,
Starting point is 00:09:27 the golf, like, I'm golfing, I'm still going to golf, but I have been thinking, like, I need to back out of the sun at least for a little bit
Starting point is 00:09:35 for the special, I don't need to go too crazy. So I've just been in it so much. I say dive harder. Get in there. Yeah. Go over the threshold.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Get burned up. See how far I can go. Yeah. Go over the threshold. Get burned up. See how far I can go. Yeah. That's right. When I go to Florida, I'll lay out in the sun a lot, and then I take pictures with people after the show, and I look burnt up, man. I'm like, jeez, what's happening?
Starting point is 00:09:57 It's super red. Yeah. I got to tell you something I did this weekend. I brought a sweat towel on stage. Oh. I've never done that. And it felt good. I mean, it looked silly.
Starting point is 00:10:08 It probably looked absurd. It was like way bigger than it should have been. But I was sweating. And I was like, I just got to have something. Yeah. I have a towel on stage. We have it right here, actually. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:21 It's a bath towel. Yeah. Well, you should have. I mean, I don't know if you know how to do comedy but this would be you held up an actual like just it's like folder like oh we got right here it's like a funny like this is you laughed you laughed because i expected you to let it drop and be like there it is right there i get it started yeah uh the uh that's all like he's he's good at premises yeah this is what he does this is what the kid does i'm a premise guy premise he's a premise machine uh so uh i have a towel that sits on the stool and i've never touched it but i carry a towel with me in my uh
Starting point is 00:11:01 backpack i love a towel but it's a stage towel it's like i mean i love it black one i just love having a towel but i'm not sweating i just don't sorry uh i sweat i don't sweat much on stage well this was it was pretty hot in this club and i did have one fun moment where it was yeah yeah there's many other factors but i had like a big laugh and as the laugh was going i was like dabbing my head with the sweat towel i was like oh this feels fun i feel like bruce bruce or something you know yeah you're really reaching a whole new level with the towel start wiping yourself down on stage well that's why i'm dangerous it's like it's dangerous this
Starting point is 00:11:41 for this to become a thing i don't want to be the sweat towel guy. I can't wait to see it. I'll start shaking. Yeah. I can't wait. Boy, it's nice to, I guess if you just sit on the stool, then you can do it in a laugh. It's like it sets the tone. I was throwing it over my shoulder like a barkeep. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Did you? I was having fun, man. Yeah. You prop your foot up on the stool a lot, don't you? I was doing it all, man. Yeah. I was loose. Yeah. It. Yeah. I was loose. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:05 It felt good. I get a towel out there. They put one out there for me sometimes. I never use it, but the curtain hit my water bottle, and I spilled some water on myself, and I was able to clean up with the towel. That's how I approached the audience. You leave a little Tide to Go pen on the stool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:20 I do laundry up there. How close do you walk to the curtain? I guess I got right up in it. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it attacked me. Was it in the theater? I don't remember what gig it was. I think it was a room in Wichita where it was a curtain, but it was loose.
Starting point is 00:12:42 And it got... Yeah. It hit my water bottle, and it's yeah you know i'm wearing black anyway it's not a big deal but good thing you didn't have any q-tips in your ears right yeah that's true uh yeah curtain does not move usually no no you gotta get it out of the way yeah i mean i thought for sure this this bar i was doing comedy and would have someone move the curtain for me you gotta just keep walking yeah i won't keep walking unless someone doesn't move it and then all right uh john i haven't watched the video
Starting point is 00:13:13 version of nate land since the first few episodes until today and it blew me away how good aaron looks there you go it is crazy if he watches this one he he's like, eh, he's back. He goes, oh, I guess it's a rerun. Yeah, by the time this one comes out. Yeah. No, you've had. You were the one that started it. You lost weight. You came in hot.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Thanks, man. You really took it. I mean, you look crazy different. Yeah. So I see some clips from the old. I'm like, my God, dude. I was struggling yeah it was uh the uh i'll start i'll stop making fun of you being fat once you get back to fat because then
Starting point is 00:13:55 i'll have to feel bad well you didn't the first time exactly that's true i never thought of you as fat going but when you're just a big dude. But when you see old pictures of you versus now, though, it is like, oh, okay. I have old pictures where I remember when they were taken and I was like, I saw the picture and I was like, dude, I'm killing it in that pic. And then I look at it now and it's tough, dude.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Veeder had a picture. uh veder had a picture uh veder had a picture the last time i was in uh in charlotte a picture of me and yeah yeah you look good there though you just you're a big dude so it helps but that's a tough i mean that was on the road with you nate i go man that's an awesome picture dude wearing a bush light hat where is that killing it yeah yeah that's an awesome picture, dude. That was two years ago. Wearing a Bush Light hat. I'm killing it. Yeah, yeah. That was when we were doing those drive-in shows. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I support it.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Yeah, no. Well, the stage barely did. It's, no, I looked at a picture this weekend from like 2019 of me and it's it's pretty wild yeah yeah i mean i was like it's big that's the last time i drank for you it's like a few months ago even i know it's been a few months yes but i mean this 2019 one i don't know if we could find it but it's uh veter had it maybe on his facebook page oh Or, oh, can you just Google 2019? Yeah, we should be able to find. Oh, these look all pretty good. Those are all, like, professional.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Oh, this was, like, a candid photo? Yeah. I mean, it's, like, some of them, yeah, like, if they're real good images, you know, I mean, you can tell that's not good. But I don't know if that's 2019. It's, yeah, it would be tough to find. And then, you know, I'm that one. But, all right. It was like one after a show with me and Gary.
Starting point is 00:15:56 It was, yeah, it's pretty crazy. TB, Tom Brady. Aaron's the perfect example of an indoctrinated millennial spouting the approved narrative pedantically in stark contrast to the free thinking uneducated Dusty
Starting point is 00:16:21 who has his eyes open and is a lot smarter than anyone at that table, real Liz's. You got it all right up to that last one. Did I get pedantically wrong? You got pedantically, yeah. Oh, well, I don't know what that means. Well, Aaron sent me this comment in a text, and I was like, wow, I've never agreed with anything
Starting point is 00:16:46 more. Yeah, this guy gets it. Yeah, this guy gets it. TB gets it. I'm an indoctrinated millennial. It sounds like Tom Brady. I've been saying that about Aaron for years. Yeah, spouting the approved narrative pedantically.
Starting point is 00:16:58 I don't know what that... Actually, I read this to someone else, and I didn't know how to pronounce that word. I still don't. To me, it sounds like all you talk about is pedantically. Whatever that means, you're like, pedantically is you guys got to try it and we're like, I don't know. You want to know what's funny? I just googled
Starting point is 00:17:17 definition of pedantically and it's in a pedantic manner. It's like, well, that doesn't help. Now we got to look up the definition of pedantic. Where do you keep it at? We keep it in the pedantry. Isn't that a Seinfeld? When George is dating the lady with the big salad and she's talking about Hebert and Herbert, these writers, she's like, but he can be pedantic. And he's like, yep, he can be pedantic. I don't know. All right. Pedantic means characterized by a narrow, often ostentatious concern for academic knowledge and formal rules. I love it.
Starting point is 00:17:49 That's actually a great word for what you think of me. Yeah. I love that. Pedantically. I don't know why we're having to define it with also another word that I'll need to look up in ostentatious. Ostentatious. Kind of pretentious. No, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Well, I didn't know what that meant, but I got the idea of it all. Yeah. Well, I agree with this comment. He caught the vibe from it. Here's what I focused on. Narrow academic knowledge and formal rules. Sounds like TB needs to be talking with Sarah Nistetter. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:16 I liked it. I got narrow concern for academic knowledge and formal rules. Being like, I've been told this by people that I paid to tell me this. And this is the way it's done and you're stupid for not asking a question. Yeah, that's it. Pedantically. That's perfect. Well, that's how I've always felt that Aaron felt about me.
Starting point is 00:18:36 What about obtuse? Do you know obtuse? I know obtuse mostly from the Shawshank Redemption. That's why we think about it. I haven't seen it. Oh, okay. Oh, obtuse is a word that'sank Redemption That's why we think about it I haven't seen it Oh obtuse is a word that's pretty important That's the main thing Not the main thing but it's pretty important
Starting point is 00:18:52 You'll remember it But that scene made me think of you and Nate That would be y'all's character I thought obtuse was like a fat thing It's obese But I thought obtuse was like I honestly thought it meant circle like do you know what it means like a circle you know versus an acute angle yeah and obtuse is greater than 90
Starting point is 00:19:11 degrees you do know geometry yeah this is coming after very bad on it coming after he brings a towel on stage because he can't he can't handle 45 minutes under the lights. I'm doing 50 now, dude. Yeah, 50 is good. It's that last five that were really sweating. Yeah, you got it. Oh, God. Does anybody else have? How many more towels we got back?
Starting point is 00:19:33 Soaking wet. Josh Oakley from the Oakley family. Yeah. A few months ago, I saw Brian walking into church. I thought about introducing myself, but I chose not to because I didn't want to invade his church experience by bringing his work into the discussion.
Starting point is 00:19:50 I felt like this was a different scenario than running into one of you at a restaurant or on the golf course. How would you prefer those of us that are fans of your comedy,
Starting point is 00:19:58 but also share a community setting like a church, a social organization, interact with you? Well, Josh, I saw you look at me, and I was furious. Don't even look at me. Now, if you just saw me, I would have went forward at church and announced it to the congregation.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Josh, here's a fan. Josh, I wouldn't go up to Bates if you don't want to talk to him more than this one time. Yeah. So that's really, Josh, that's up to you. You really think about about do you want to every week have Brian seek you out
Starting point is 00:20:28 are you ready for a relationship are you ready for a relationship yeah you need to have an escape of this conversation yeah that's my biggest complaints people have about cameos mine are too long
Starting point is 00:20:36 have you really gotten people to say no okay that'd be hilarious I've only gotten five stars but have you been doing cameos too yeah I mean I'm the perfect person because most people on there are people on the downside of their career who don't even want to do it. You need someone who never had a career because we're excited and we want to do it. So I really get into them.
Starting point is 00:20:54 I've raised my rates and promised that Nate would also wish them a happy birthday. So if I just throw in. No, you have no up or downside career. You're just. Just average. You just need one video of Nate saying happy birthday that you could work into each one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Well, I'm just going to be like slipping in. If you guys were wishing Sarah Nistetter a happy birthday, how would you say it? This is a podcast. Just throw it in there randomly. Happy birthday, Sarah Nistetter. Yeah. She's like...
Starting point is 00:21:22 I did a gender reveal. Can you imagine finding out the gender of your kid from me? They'd be like, what's a gender reveal can you imagine finding out the gender of your kid from me they'd be like what's the gender of the guy telling us let's start there first
Starting point is 00:21:34 I'm confused by this whole thing is that a boy is that an old man I don't know what he goes I'm more backwards than everyone. You think there are some different genders?
Starting point is 00:21:49 Huh? Boy and old man? No, it's just multiple jokes I did on you. The light go out. I'm glad y'all saw that. I didn't see it. Huh? It went dark for a second.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Hot, flat, yeah. No, I think, yeah, you can come up. I mean, again, I always say people, I got recognized at the Wilson County Fair. That's a place of church. Yeah, I'm the only one here that's going to be seen at church, but go ahead. I had someone come up to me at church. I did have someone come up to me at church. No, I know.
Starting point is 00:22:24 And they did, which we're going, I got to go a lot more. I got to get back in it. I want to. They were saying, welcome. Who are you? Yeah, yeah. They go, yeah, this guy asked for my autograph. I gave my address.
Starting point is 00:22:36 I gave it to him. I was like, golly, man, I can't go anywhere anymore. It's on a card. It's a new member. I gave it to him. He mailed me something. I was like all right take it easy dude you like my comedy i get it no i want to i gotta go i gotta we gotta it's
Starting point is 00:22:53 so hard to send like we just yeah the schedule it's hard to get into the rhythm of it but i don't yeah i don't ever mind it someone comes up and they say hey yeah it's still nice you're like oh yeah i appreciate it yeah i feel like if it say, hey. Yeah, it's still nice. You're like, oh, yeah, I appreciate it. Yeah. I feel like if it's even a moment where it's like that kind of like, if it's like, oh, if I'm with my daughter, oh, it's kind of a hectic moment or something like that, or whatever it is, those are even nice.
Starting point is 00:23:16 And someone's just like, yo, big fan. And then you're like, oh, thanks. And you can kind of get back to what you're, if you're doing something. I like for people to do it when I'm with my wife so that my wife knows what's going on out here. Yeah. You know what I mean? In the streets. I'll be like, you see what's happening there?
Starting point is 00:23:30 Yeah. Yeah, like a little more respect at home. Yeah. Yeah. You should put a picture of your wife and your girlfriend so people know when and when not to come. I'll say this about Dusty. If you know who he is, you're going to spot him. Because when we were in Huntsville, anybody that remotely knew,
Starting point is 00:23:47 they were calling you out. Oh, yeah. You could put a hat on and maybe not even get recognized, right? Right. The three of us could. I mean, yeah. But you're pretty distinct looking. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:58 I think you're pretty distinct. But I'm pretty generic looking. There are a million guys that look exactly like you. Yeah, but you're big, so people are going to like, they just notice it. They'll be like, excuse me. I mean, yeah. They go.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Like I walk into a restaurant, they're like, what? Coming through. They go, heads up. Heads up. Watch your back. There's a lot of watch your back in you. A lot of beep, beep. Moving through. Moving through. On your left. On your back. There's a lot of watch your back. And you're like, oh, a lot of beep, beep, moving through,
Starting point is 00:24:25 moving through on your left, on your left. Now I'm seeing you. I meant you're tall, like you're tall. And like, so people just naturally, you're going to like recognize,
Starting point is 00:24:35 like they, I feel like they look at you in the face more. How tall are you? Six feet. Average. I think you would do, you would get recognized too. You do?
Starting point is 00:24:44 Yeah. Well, Dusty really gets recognized. Well, Dusty, yeah. What happened? How tall are you? Six feet? So average? Anyway.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Five nines is the average. Really? Yeah. That low? It is. That's how tall I am. Dusty, you're the obvious. You're That low? It is. That's how tall I am. Dusty, you're the obvious. You're not going to miss it. I was with Leanne
Starting point is 00:25:09 recently and two people in front of us had her back to us, recognized her just from her voice. Oh, yeah. I've gotten voice... Mine would be a voice. I can have that where they hear the voice and then they don't. Yeah. But if I have a hat on... I didn't wear a hat at the voice and then they don't. Yeah. But if I have a hat on, if I didn't wear a hat,
Starting point is 00:25:26 the Wilson County Fair, it was. But if I have a hat on, but it's still, I mean, it's, you know. Yeah, I can do no hat, hair up. Nobody really would notice me. The glasses, though, you got other pairs of glasses. Yeah. I think what's helping you the most is where you're at in your career. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Yeah, you want to, well, if you want to maintain a low profile. That was pretty good. Yeah, that was pretty good. I mean, he said he was going – he's like, I'll put my hair up and nothing will happen. I'm like, I mean – Yeah, the key to not getting recognized is to not have success. No, yeah. I'm joking.
Starting point is 00:25:59 That came off me. It was right there, though. I don't know. It was funny. We're having a good time. I thought of it right when the hair went up, and I was like, well, I can't not say it. We listened to – pick your voice. Oh, sorry. Go there, though. I don't know. It was funny. We're having a good time. I thought of it right when the hair went up, and I was like, well, I can't not say it. We listened to, picking your voice.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Oh, sorry. Go ahead, Brian. When we're putting Eleanor down to sleep, and we'll do the Alexa, the lullabies for her to listen to, but they'll stop every two or three songs to do a Geico commercial, and it's your voice. So right when she's about to get to, but they'll stop every two or three songs to do a Geico commercial, and it's your voice. Oh, yeah. So right when she's about to get to sleep, you just hear,
Starting point is 00:26:28 with Geico, we... Yeah. So she knows your voice. You do Geico commercials? I did. I did some, yeah. Oh, okay. Radio.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Oh, that's fun. Audio, yeah. I mean, they play them all the time. Yeah. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. I do hear it a lot. So you just play lullabies.
Starting point is 00:26:43 You don't sing them? I sing along sometimes, but... Yeah. I don't know if you would. You you just play lullabies. You don't sing them? I sing along sometimes. Yeah. I don't know if you would. You're like, Alexa, babysit. Oh, yeah. Well, Eleanor doesn't need to be. I mean, come on.
Starting point is 00:26:54 Let's let Alexa handle it. You don't play your daughter any lullabies? Oh, no. We don't have Alexa. Well, I know, but there are other ways to play music. He's not going to have an Alexa. Well, I know that, but you don't have Alexa. Well, I know, but there are other ways to play music. He's not going to have an Alexa. Well, I know that, but you don't have any musical instruments or anything that would play music for your daughter?
Starting point is 00:27:11 I mean, she has some toys that she'll punch on. Do you all set your phones in a basket outside? Do you go inside? No, I wish, though. I do wish that. I do take my phone out of the room when I sleep. Oh. I don't like that.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Oh, that's awesome. I don't like that. I like that's awesome. I don't like that. I like that. Those waves coming off there. We watch a baby sensory thing on YouTube called Hay Bear. Really? Oh, really? Oh, I've seen that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:35 And it's just like a kaleidoscope of colors and sounds? Yeah, it's fun. I get into it. You're into it as well? Kind of do. I could see having your phone out of the room. Yeah, I love that. What, that you have just an old alarm clock well you know when i'm home we don't really have anything to wake up for that's true i don't really have any i mean my alarm i don't really need it unless you know i don't really set an alarm much only when i have to get up to go to the airport
Starting point is 00:28:00 that's the only time i have an alarm yeah yeah yeah i think i used to set it up a lot more than i did yeah now with the bus you know and now with travel being so hard you gotta usually fly a day early or something so you don't it's not like you have to go take a 6 a.m flight always yeah uh i have to set my alarm if i have to like be i need to be going by 11 i didn't set it today we started recording at 11 30 for the first podcast. I didn't set it today. We started recording at 11.30 for the first podcast. If I didn't set one today, I'd probably still be asleep. Yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:28:30 I'll just keep going. Yeah. Wow. I think you're at a good age where you will sleep. I'm starting to hit the age where you're starting, I'm going to start waking up. I'm not, you know, I don't sleep late, but I don't sleep to noon anymore. And I used to easily could sleep to noon. Yeah, like without even thinking about it.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Yeah, yeah. I think you just, yeah, I'm just at, I'm hitting the age where it's like, it's about to start flipping a little bit. I get more tired. Yeah. You know. Probably good. Yeah, I'd rather get up earlier.
Starting point is 00:29:02 I need a better morning routine because I'll get up and just look at my phone. And I like it because I just lay in bed and look at my phone. But I do like laying there. I need to put a book there or something. Yeah. I'm never, you know. Go back to sleep. Yeah, I've tried those tricks.
Starting point is 00:29:16 You put the book there and then you move the book out of the way to get the phone. Yeah. Yeah. I would throw the book to hit the door and Laura goes, what are you doing i go we bring my phone becky arnold i went to a work christmas party with a guy i was dating at the time i feel like i just my rhythms yeah i went to work hi i'm becky i went to a work christmas party with a guy i was dating at the time. He left me to get drinks, and one of his coworkers asked what I did for a living. I knew I'd never see her again, and I totally lied and said I was a pediatrician. She asked where I went to medical school, and I said Duke.
Starting point is 00:29:55 She then proceeded to tell me she was looking for a pediatrician for her daughter, and I immediately said my office was not taking any new patients at the time and politely excused myself and walked away. That's pretty great. Yeah i love that i love that the lie kept going and she was like ready like she was ready with the next one yeah it's a great cop out we're actually not accepting new patients it's smart to think of that have a great rest of the evening yeah yeah i mean another tactic would be yeah give my office my office a call. Here's the number. Yeah. What number do you write down?
Starting point is 00:30:27 Anyone. Five, five, five. I think, yeah, I would almost say you could go, I'm lying to you about all this. Like, maybe just tell her that. Yeah, you're like, nah, just kidding. I work at Captain D's. You're like, yeah, I'm not a pediatrician. I honestly just said it because I thought,
Starting point is 00:30:44 I just felt like in the moment to try something crazy. Yeah. And it's crazy that you needed my services. Or you commit to it. And just be there. And you go out and do house visits. Yeah, or just start helping our kid. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:58 If the kid's in good shape, you don't got to do that much. You just rub the pencil on the bottom of their foot or something with an eraser. You just, they do that. Hit the knee. I don't think to do that much. You just rub the pencil on the bottom of their foot or something with an eraser. You just, they do that. Hit the knee. I don't think they even do that. Don't they do the pencil on the foot? Or who does that? Maybe they do that to old men.
Starting point is 00:31:12 I've done the hammer on the knee. Have that done to me? Yeah, I have, but not a baby. Oh, I think you do it to kids. No, babies don't have knees. Yeah. I think that is one of the last cartilage that gets formed
Starting point is 00:31:26 is the kneecap. Yeah. That's not true. I'm not saying they don't have kneecaps, but I think that's one of the last parts that forms.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Really? They don't have knees at all. Thigh, calf. Just stops there. Dangles. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Look it up. I've never heard that. Just look it up to see. Do babies have knees? Do babies have knees? When did knees overtake the government of the body? Well, I got no answer. The answer is yes and no.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Golly. You can't have a yes and no answer. Babies are born with pieces of cartilage that will eventually become the bony kneecap that adults have. Yeah. They don't, but then it becomes that. Yeah. The answer can never be yes and no.
Starting point is 00:32:12 It's never that. Well, let's say the babies had bony kneecaps, that would make the birthing process a lot more difficult. So it would develop later. That worked out. These women complaining about everything. So it's like the answer's no. We need to take an L shape out. Like it's, yeah, you need another doctor in there if babies had knees.
Starting point is 00:32:29 This is crazy. The kneecaps don't ossify until the ages of two to six. So the first two years of their life is just cartilage in that knee? Or just an unossified. Yeah. What? I don't know. He just said they don't ossify. And they go, so they don't have them. I go, or at least they just have not ossified. Yeah. What? I don't know. He just said they don't ossify, and they go, so they don't have them.
Starting point is 00:32:47 I go, or at least they just have not ossified. Yeah. Pre-ossification. Yeah, you know, it's a knee, but it's not ossified. Well, we all know what that means. Yeah. I had knees, though. I just want to be a guy that hears this and goes, I had knees pretty early.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Ben Browning. I mistakenly locked ourselves out of our house. We had to call Locksmith, and he looks at our door and says, it's going to be $150. I don't have an option, so I tell him to go for it. 45 seconds later, the door is open. While I'm paying the guy, he spins his phone around, and there are options for 15, 20, 25% tip. I just paid $150 for less than a minute of work. And now he's asking
Starting point is 00:33:31 for a tip, but he can break into my house in seconds. So he got a tip. So the thing that you're paying for there, even though it does take a minute, it's the, you're paying for not the nine hours. So it might take him a minute, but you're paying for, if you don't do it, then it's nine hours. Interesting. So you're, you're paying for, I would imagine you're paying for the, you know, it's like, you're glad everybody's happy. It takes a minute. That guy is, you are all that stuff. This guy's got good enough to have it take a minute, all that stuff. You want it to take a minute, you know? So sometimes you got to realize like, why, what am I paying? I'm paying for this not to take over my life like you would pay if someone's like all
Starting point is 00:34:09 right i'll do it for free but it's going to take one hour or two hours two hours i'll do it for free for two hours you give me 150 bucks i'll do it in one minute you're probably going to go i'll pay the 150 bucks yeah well what about the tip though i say the tip thing is the thing that's confusing with jobs like this you want to go what is the 154 is it not going to you like is it you're not a company or you're it's you know if if the money's you know the money's going to you that's like isn't like women's hair salons like you don't tip the owner of the salon or something i think that's the way they do it because it's like the owner but then you would tip the other people because it's like the owner would get technically the entire amount of money so if someone has a company and you're so this person's like
Starting point is 00:34:54 now if he's a works for a company i guess you could do it uh you could tip him you know but it is like if he's his own company you're like well i'm giving you 150 dollars like it's like just charge it how much does it cost 150 dollars okay here's 150 bucks thanks that's like any work that you do when you you know you want to be like all right you did siding on my house i pay what is it give me the price i'm not averaging no one knows how to tip for that like that's like you know That's the problem too is sometimes tipping. A, that it's 15, 20, 25 now is crazy. But sometimes the tipping, you want to go like, do you tip the plumber?
Starting point is 00:35:32 And you're like, no one knows how to tip a plumber. No one knows the percentage you're supposed to tip. I don't know what you want me to give this guy. Sometimes it's rude to tip and you never want that. That's always awkward. Have you ever tipped somebody and they're like, no,'t need that yeah but i that's going that's gone away i i most will take a tip now because i and i think being tipped is happening so much i know i think it used to be like that but i do think now it's kind of it's much more rare when i see someone because i've
Starting point is 00:36:01 been in situations where i have tipped and they're like no no no i'm like come on man and then they just take it uh but i don't do that in a bad way i sometimes i'm doing it because i know they know me or something or i know like i it's like sometimes you just call called in like you know it's like i'm just i want to do it i want to like this person really helped us and we did this but like the person with a plumber or like with this kind of thing you're like what's the price dude like i don't what i'm supposed to be uh what is 10 percent 15 bucks 15 bucks like so it's like kind of you're like you don't tip that's like a restaurant that's what tipping is is like restaurants i would imagine you should go if there is going to be tipping in all this other world it should be like maybe it's 10% or something. Yeah, I mean, especially this where he turns the phone around.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Because now it's not like what you're talking about where you offer a tip and the guy goes, oh, no, no, no. And you're like, no, I want you to have it. Now it's like a guy going, tip? Yeah, and you have to. And he's holding the phone. Yeah, you're like, oh, no. Now if I do tip you, it's because you forced me to tip you. You don't even feel good about it. You feel like you got me.
Starting point is 00:37:06 The idea of it would be to pay cash. Yeah, well, to pay cash, but also to be just brave enough to go, I'll pay the $150. I mean, I always think of it, I'm not going to tip you, but I don't know. Even though you're tipping you like i'll give you 175 dollars but i'll give you 175 hours of charge me the price i'm not adding it in a tip like you're almost like making a point to go i'm not scared i'm not saying i'm not i won't
Starting point is 00:37:35 pay for this services but i'm not doing this game afterwards yeah but i don't know what what is going to make you happy you have 25 on there so if i'd go 15 on locksmith which i don't know if it's 15 and if i put 15 you're going to be like you know is there still some like but his last sentence really seals the deal here yeah but he can break into my house in seconds so he got a tip yeah and i understand that that is it's yeah it's, and you hope that the guy's not going to, but. Yeah. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Mm-hmm. A little intimidating. He just shows you how. He's like, holds it out. And just remember, I got in here real quick. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:14 That took me a minute with you looking. Imagine if I don't look. If you're asleep at night, how quick could I do it? Yeah. Yeah. We need a conversation about tipping. Kim Souza.
Starting point is 00:38:28 On one episode a while back, Nate made a point to say that people who quit drinking sometimes worry they won't be as fun. And he said that could not be less true. I am 95 days sober. Congratulations. All right. And that meant so, so much to hear. I am loving life without alcohol.
Starting point is 00:38:44 And it's so reassuring to hear that people on the outside think we non-drinkers are still a good time and Dusty being a member of your awesome podcast crew is just further proof of that Dusty you were awesome and 10 years alcohol free is really inspiring congrats Kim
Starting point is 00:39:00 yes you will enjoy life a lot better you will and this needs to be said. Alcohol, it is. It's poison. It's such a drag. I mean, I had such a fun time, but I was miserable, really. You're having fun because you don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:18 You're bored. Yeah. You're bored with your life, and so you don't know what to do. And you have no, so you're like uh all right this well now my life now this becomes fun and then once you i think that's the flip is you just go like well i want to have fun but i don't want to have fun and then feel bad the next day you don't have to ruins the next day and then you don't have to be fun like when you're drinking all the time you're almost like being fun for other people but now i have fun all the
Starting point is 00:39:45 time i don't know that i'm more fun to be around but i'm having i think you i think everybody's you're going to get around people that you're going to be more fun to be around yeah you're going to be fun and you're going to go do stuff during the day you're going to go do this you're going to do that like it's fun you lose and then it's like the people at night when you're like you know if they're like why are you not drinking you drinking not being fun at night you're like i don't do it's 11 o'clock at night like you know there's just a there's times where you just go like all right this is right it's not it's not worth it yeah the party's over yeah yeah you get up and you go do stuff during the day and uh yeah that's awesome kim you're doing great yeah and three months is a long time i remember
Starting point is 00:40:24 at one point i hit one month. I was like, all right, that's good. But I've done a month before. And then I hit two months and two months was a real celebration because it was like, I had never, since I started drinking, had never gone two months without drinking. So you had a couple of drinks. Yeah. Yeah. Celebrate. But in AA, which I didn't do, but in AA, they say they give you a chip at two months because that's the point where people start to say, all right, I know I can quit now. So I'll, you know, I'll go back to drinking because I know I can quit. Interesting. And then it really sucks you back in. Yeah. They're, uh, yeah. I, I, I, I also, I think it's the control. Like it's like, I, I think a lot,
Starting point is 00:41:01 a lot about the, the having no control is I I'm, I don't ever want to go back to that. You know, like no control. You know, it's like you're going to feel bad the next day. All these circumstances. And then you're like, I don't want that anymore. And I am glad I don't have it. Yeah. I like to be able to go to the Waffle House without, you know, being like, sorry, you had to kick me out last night.
Starting point is 00:41:26 You know, stuff like that. Like those kind of things are great. Yeah, yeah. Not getting kicked out of the same sushi restaurant twice in one day. You know what I mean? Those are the kind of things that I don't do anymore. Yeah. And that feels good.
Starting point is 00:41:37 You eat sushi? Yeah, I love sushi. Twice in one day. I got kicked out of a sushi restaurant and then i talked i went over to another bar had a beer came back talked the bouncer into letting me back in i said i'm cool i'm cool a bouncer at a sushi restaurant yeah it was like sushi slash nightclub kind of thing but they were we were all eating it was daylight right and uh and i got to that early yeah and i go he goes all right i was like i'm cool now and then i went right back to arguing with the person I was arguing with and got kicked out right away. I knew I wasn't cool. I was lying to the guy.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Yeah. Why were you arguing? Yeah. Who knows? I mean, there's, you know, I was at a, what do you call the thing where you sit around and the guy's flipping shrimp and stuff. Hibachi grill. Yeah. With a bunch of people that I work with and I remember calling a guy out like right at the hibachi thing for no reason I don't know what I was even calling him out about looking at me you know and I would get so fired up it was I mean in a lot of ways it was a great time so Kim what we're saying is give it another shot yeah yeah no kim wait 10 years and then you know no that's awesome it is awesome yes all right it's this week so this week we're talking
Starting point is 00:42:55 about physics i googled physics and i'm like i don't understand what i'm reading so then i googled physics for kids and i still didn't quite understand what I was reading. But it seems like it has a lot to do with gravity. Gravity is a pretty big thing. That's helpful. That's about as far as I go. Physics was hard. It was the hardest class.
Starting point is 00:43:16 One of the hardest classes I ever took. In high school or college? Physics in high school. I avoided it like the plague in college. But physics is just the study of how things move and behave in the universe okay it's used in everything engineering yeah architecture aerospace sports is it like how a building would fall over and yeah describing how exactly that would happen yeah and then you're like breaking it down to be
Starting point is 00:43:42 like well we know this would do this and then it'd collapse. And now, yeah. And if you do controlled demolition of a building, you would understand physically how all that would happen. And then you can make it collapse. You can manipulate it in a way where it will collapse how you want it. But if like the trade centers, they did not think they were going to collapse like that? I mean, I don't think they... I don't think they did.
Starting point is 00:44:04 I don't think they wanted it to. No, no, I don't think they... I don't think they did. I don't think they wanted it to. No, no, I know. But I mean, when they thought it would fall, I thought they didn't... Like, it's a miracle that it even fell. If it's going to fall, it's a miracle that it fell like it fell. But I think that they knew...
Starting point is 00:44:17 Three times. They knew... Oh, man. It fell three times? Well, I mean, you know... Three different buildings? Three different buildings came down. They knew exactly where.
Starting point is 00:44:29 I think they knew the right place to hit on the building that would cause it to do that. I've never heard that. Really? No. Do you believe that? Do you think the U.S. government knew exactly where to hit? I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:44:45 There's a very fun video from the 1970s of some beach whales that died, and they couldn't move them out to the ocean, so they had to set up dynamite and blow them up. And the people came out to watch, and the news crew was there, and they miscalculated the explosion, and whale parts just go flying everywhere on people, on the crew, just everywhere. It just starts landing. It's a very funny video.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Is it? It's on YouTube. That's a huge whale. Yeah. Those whales are so big. So they were just like, can't get it. Blow it up. It was dead.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Pull it. Yeah. Oh, this is a fun question. I saw this on Reddit the other day. They were asking, what animal would scare you the most if it were the size of a whale? A bear.
Starting point is 00:45:32 A bear. A bear? More than like a praying mantis the size of a whale? That would terrify you. Yeah. Any animal. Yeah. Something fun to think about.
Starting point is 00:45:45 Just an ant, maybe. Any insect would be terrifying. Yeah. Something fun to think about. Just an ant, maybe. Any insect would be terrifying. Spider. Possum would be pretty terrifying as a size of a... They're terrifying as is. Yeah. Wild looking animal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:58 I would think the praying menace does to us skinny legs. An alligator. The size of a... An alligator would be tough. Because they're low to the ground. That's true. Yeah, and they would just pin their head and eat it. You know, there's bears.
Starting point is 00:46:15 When we were in the Toledo Zoo, they have short snout bears that were around, you know, whenever, you know. Yeah. You know, a lot of stuff. Quotation mark. Dinosaurs were around. Mm-hmm. And they were huge. You know, whenever, you know. Yeah. You know, a lot of stuff, quotation marks. Dinosaurs were around. And they were huge. They were the biggest.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Like, look, that one over there on the right, that's a grizzly bear. And that's how much bigger they were. Golly. You can't juke that there. I don't think you could just because its arms are long. They're taller than you. Yeah. That could be the strongest thing that's ever lived. Could be. I don't think you could just because its arms are long. They're taller than you. That could be the strongest thing that's ever lived.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Could be. I mean, just, that's the thing, bears, like, bears, they've become, they are my new favorite animal. What was your old? What got bumped? I don't know if I had an old. But snakes, I always liked snakes. I always go to the reptiles.
Starting point is 00:47:08 I like looking at snakes. I don't want to touch them anymore, but I like looking at them. And I always loved snakes. I read a lot of books about snakes and stuff. But now bears are – This is – you got that pulled up. So a few episodes back, we talked about Aaron and how he looked so different next to the Notre Dame offensive lineman.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Someone first posted this photo of him. A pretty good Photoshop. Yeah, of what he looked like. But then people also sent in some celebrity. Well, there's the Rock and Mark Wahlberg next to Shaq and Barkley. Yeah. That really blew me away, this picture, of how small The Rock looks next to Shaq. Well, even to Barkley.
Starting point is 00:47:50 Yeah. I mean, yeah. The Rock is so big. Mm-hmm. And he does. He looks like a regular person next to Shaq. And Mark Wahlberg is on his tippy toes right here. Probably.
Starting point is 00:48:03 But Shaq, he's huge, man. Mark Wahlberg's not as small as it looks. I think the biggest favor in this picture is Wahlberg. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Well, just because it's like, you're like, oh, he's not. Because you think all the other ones are so tall. But I mean, Barkley looks bigger than The Rock.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Yeah. Yeah, definitely. And there's Arnold Schwarzenegger with Will Chamberlain and Andre the Giant. That one's crazy. That's crazy. And he looks like a child. Will Chamberlain is that big? Seven feet tall, yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:34 Jeez. I mean, that's so. This is blowing my mind. That's unbelievable, dude. I mean, it's not even. It's, yeah. Like, he wouldn't be. Like, Andre his own they he wouldn't be scared of him it'd be like what are you gonna do dude yeah there's a different one i don't have it there but we're wilton andre are just holding him up and off the ground he's he's just like a
Starting point is 00:48:57 little child he decided not to put that one in well this uh this one shows more the height and then there's one more. There's another one that's got the winning lottery numbers in it. Oh, wow. Yeah, there's one with me and Liam there. Yeah. Liam is a comic who's seven foot. Look at Dusty's hand over there.
Starting point is 00:49:18 It's at his waist. Is that Kenny DeForest? Yeah. So he's a lot bigger than you. Yeah, Kenny's above six foot. I mean, I'm 5'9". Are your eyes closed? Average, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:29 Probably. A lot of my pictures, they are. What happens? I blink a lot. You don't believe in the flashes? Yeah, I'm a big blinker. I don't think you trust the flashes. I think that's more you go,
Starting point is 00:49:40 I don't know what these flashes are getting. Yeah, I don't want you getting my iris. Getting my iris code. That's how they get you. Yeah. So I don't know what these flashes are getting. Yeah, I don't want you getting my iris, getting my iris code. That's how they get you. Yeah. So I don't know what I was saying before that. But, all right, physics. So is Isaac Newton like the Mr. Physics?
Starting point is 00:49:53 I think Isaac Newton's a good place to start. So have you heard the story of Isaac Newton and the apple tree? Yeah, it fell and hit his head or something? Yeah, that became the legend around it. But I don't think it ever hit his head. But he was home. He was going to Cambridge. They had a bubonic plague outbreak, just like COVID, sent everybody home.
Starting point is 00:50:14 So he's walking around his childhood home, which is Woolsthorpe Manor, and he sees an apple tree, and he sees an apple fall, and he's sitting there staring at it. He's like, why does it always fall down? Why doesn't it fall sideways why doesn't it fall straight up it always falls down so he's like there must be something pulling it down and we know now that that is gravity right yeah yeah like there's something keeping us down there's something causing it to always fall straight down yeah if if not it would just yeah fall off in any direction right and that tree still exists today this is 350 years later that tree probably the most famous
Starting point is 00:51:01 tree of all time i can't think of another tree. I'd go see it. Is it still growing apples? I don't know if it still grows apples, but it's been knocked over. It's been like, it's broken in half. They've replanted it. They've also cloned it. I don't know if clone's the right word, but they've taken parts of it and they've started other trees. The little graphs.
Starting point is 00:51:23 All over Europe. Yeah, graphs. That's the right word. So it's got descendants all over Europe really yet yeah well who knows yeah yeah who knows what they're telling yeah yeah why do they get knocked down like people knock it down it's just it's four or five hundred years old so this was in 1666 like a graph of one of those trees how do you get that i don't know i wonder if they let you. I like that Vanderbilt turf. Yeah. Kind of the same thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:50 I got a branch from the Isaac Newton tree. Like Tooman's Corner. Yeah. Cambridge is a big win. They just roll it until. That's his house? That's Woolsthorpe Manor. It's just like, and there's an orchard as a part of it. I like that house.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Did he come from money? Yeah, I think he did come from money. Really? Yeah. I mean, I don't- If people have money, they're the ones that have time to think about wanting apples.
Starting point is 00:52:08 Exactly. Exactly right. If he was poor, he would have been like picking apples. He's been eating the apple because he hasn't eaten in six months. Yeah. But let's celebrate him.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Yeah. You know? Because he goes, you know what makes that apple fall? You go, I don't, dude, I'm just trying to literally survive. They're like, if I can help it, it won't fall.
Starting point is 00:52:23 I might die on a road today yeah and he goes all right i'll tell you about gravity yeah it took him so this started him thinking about it he didn't publish anything about this for decades but this is what got the ball rolling so gravity i'm just gonna launch into it Yeah. Gravity is a constant on Earth, 9.8 meters per second squared. That's gravitational acceleration. So what that means is on this planet, all objects, regardless of mass, fall at the exact same acceleration. So if you drop a bowling ball in a marble at the same height, they're going to hit the ground at the exact same time. So if we all jumped off a building at the same time,
Starting point is 00:53:06 my guess is you would hit first. That's instinct, right? Instinct would say the bigger the guy. That used to be an expression. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. It's like, no, well, you're going to hit the ground at the exact same speed. And the same time. Speed and time.
Starting point is 00:53:22 The four of us all with vastly different masses. If we fell off a cliff at the same time, we'd hit the ground at the same time. Mm-hmm. Speed and time. The four of us all with vastly different masses. Yeah. If we fell off a cliff at the same time, we'd hit the ground at the same time. But you're all three of us. So. But what about terminal velocity? I think Bates would get lost or ask questions on the way down. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:45 He would hit a little bit later he'd hit him he would never hit the ground he would hit something it just would be i would bounce off something he'd bounce off like something just wouldn't they go to baits hit the same time they go nah he we we don't really know where he's at i think i would make it like i survived and aaron would land on me it does depend on how light though like a feather would not fall the same speed right a feather on earth because there's air resistance but they actually did that exact same uh thought experiment here david scott this is apollo 15 on the moon he's holding a hammer in one hand and a feather in the other hand. Dang, who's videoing this?
Starting point is 00:54:26 And he drops them both. Yeah. He drops a feather and a hammer on the moon. And look at that. That's it. They fall right down at the exact same speed. Because there's no air resistance. There's nothing.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Can we get a close-up of that feather? Yeah. Well, this is a camera from 1972 or something. Yeah, something like that. I see the headphones in the reflection. They really brought everything up there, didn't they? Oh, yeah. This was the first time they brought a dune buggy to the moon.
Starting point is 00:54:59 So they were just having a blast up there. So this is Apollo 15. What was the first one? Apollo 11 was the one that landed on the moon. All right. That was 1969. 13 is the one that didn't make it. 13 is the one that Tom Hanks was on.
Starting point is 00:55:11 So this is the fourth trip? Yeah, it must have been the fourth successful landing. So they're looking for new things to do. It's bored up there at this point. I think America is bored by this point. I think America doesn't care anymore. Because I've heard of Galileo, point i think america is bored by this point i think america doesn't care anymore because i've heard of uh the galileo who went up the leading tower of pisa and dropped two things at the same
Starting point is 00:55:31 time so they're doing basically that right they're doing that but this is the first time it's been done in outer space yeah well yeah i know it's not super special yeah but it's yeah galileo was doing that off the leading tower of Pisa. So with no gravity or low gravity, like as on the moon, that feather just falls right on down. It'll just fall straight down. Even though there's no gravity. Oh, you think it should be slower?
Starting point is 00:55:59 Well, yeah, I mean, they're popping out. They're still, why do they fall, but then, like, the other people jump? They're still falling. It's just the gravitational force of the moon, because it's so much smaller, is less than that of the Earth. So they don't fall. They will fall. The moon still has gravity. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:18 It's not a zero-gravity environment. It's just things are much lighter. So you can jump. You can dunk a basketball on the moon. Oh, yeah yeah yeah for sure from the three-point line maybe maybe maybe you get a good running start yeah i think david scott now goes by mr showtime and uh performs at a lot of the loony bins around the country that is his name yeah there's a comedian named david scott that's what you're talking about right yeah the midnight. The Midnight Swinger. Where's zero gravity? Like in space?
Starting point is 00:56:49 Yeah. I mean, you're always going to. If you're away from any objects? Yeah. In theory, but like you're in a vacuum, then there's no. But when they're on the spaceship and they're floating. Yeah. That's zero gravity.
Starting point is 00:57:02 That's essentially zero gravity, yeah. What about this? There's still an orbit around the Earth. So you go from Earth to space, from gravity to zero gravity. What's in between there, separating zero gravity from gravity? Eight, nine, 50 gravity. Well, we just kind of pass through this barrier where there's all this gravity, and then at some point, we just kind of blo through this barrier where there's all this gravity. And then at some point, you know, we just kind of bloop.
Starting point is 00:57:28 And now we're floating. Our atmosphere. So what is that? Our atmosphere is all the gases that are being contained to the earth because of its gravitational pull. But the gases can hold in gravity, but not us. No, the gases are being held in by gravity so they get they reached right up to that point and then they're like ah we can't get away from from gravity yeah things have limits yeah but they just get but they never well there has to be a point with everything
Starting point is 00:57:56 so there's always going to be a point right but what why would this get this far get this far away from the earth right to the place where it's at, zero gravity in the vacuum, but then not cross over to the other side? I think it's a lot more gradual than you're giving it credit for. It's not like there's a layer like an inch thick, and then you walk through and you can float. Well, that's what I'm saying, though. If we can pass right through it, how does these other things not?
Starting point is 00:58:23 Why are they trapped? What's trapping them nothing sure well like a meteor or something when they they get trapped well i mean we're we're we're you know the the the the globe is here right and there's gravity but then so we just drift on out and then it turns into a vacuum where there is no oxygen. So just the gases are keeping in the oxygen. How come when we pass through in a spaceship, it doesn't bust open that barrier and then all our oxygen seep out? We shut the door.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Yeah. Because he shut the door behind us. Yeah. I mean, what? We talked about this poking through. Yeah. Poking through it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Yeah. Well, I think it's just, there's no actual physical barrier. There's so much gas up there that I'm sure just like, if you fly through a cloud, the cloud doesn't disappear like an airplane. Like you just fly through it. It's not like there's a hole in the cloud and you're like, well, that airplane's not there. So the gas is just there and you just kind of come up through it
Starting point is 00:59:23 and then it just immediately seals back up. Well, but a cloud is doing that. Yeah. Is a cloud not doing that? I feel like if you go through a cloud, though, the cloud kind of will disperse. I don't think so. Maybe not all the way, but I think that it will. But it still stays a cloud, and I imagine –
Starting point is 00:59:37 I mean, if it expands, it just kind of comes back together. But a cloud, you fly through clouds. I mean, they don't – Otherwise, we'd go get rid of clouds. If you're like it was, if it's a real cloudy day, you'd be like, well, just fly some airplanes around and just knock all the clouds out of the way. They stay in the ground. I mean, that's why there's fog. Well, that's what I wonder, though.
Starting point is 00:59:55 When you land, it's not like you can see. Because otherwise, you'd be able to see as you land. Because you'd be like, well, once you land, it's going to be. But that's what I'm saying, though. We have this atmosphere that has all this oxygen for us that we need but then just beyond what we're saying is nothing um just beyond that is a place where no oxygen exists right yeah yeah so there's gotta be a point what keeps our oxygen in i guess. A dome. Yeah. The gases. So the gravity holds in oxygen too?
Starting point is 01:00:30 Yeah, I think so. I mean, look, I think it's all kind of, it's hard to wrap your head around. That's the idea behind a god of just being, everything feels like it's created in the fact that it's so perfect. It's so perfect that it's like, it's unreal. It's just nothing can work. I mean, look at everything. Like, everything's perfect.
Starting point is 01:00:50 You have animals that can eat these animals, and there's an order of which ones can eat them. Like, none of this makes sense. Is there any example that someone has created where it's gas surrounding oxygen and keeping it in? I don't know. I don't know what you mean by like a surrounding oxygen well i mean gas we have oxygen like we we can breathe here yeah how and up there you can't breathe so how's the oxygen staying here but is this oxygen come off like is it plants or is that
Starting point is 01:01:18 like that's part of where it comes from it comes from the ground and plants and stuff like that i think it's like that kind of stuff yeah there's no plants up there that we know well that's true there might be some way up there yeah i don't know i think like it's uh well i just wonder though if our spaceships can just shoot right out of here i feel like it's such a thing that unless you understood it you wouldn't you know you can't like we would never be there's nothing that could be said here that would be like, okay. Yeah. Because it's like, I don't understand enough of it or care enough. Why do you think Jeff Bezos couldn't get out to space?
Starting point is 01:01:54 They can. I think they can only go to that point. I just don't think they're going to send some of these people to space because they don't have, I mean, if it goes wrong, it's over. You're floating, you're gone, see you later. I think it's really, really hard and expensive to get to outer space. So what Jeff Bezos did was kind of a hodgepodge of you could float a little bit, but you're not truly in outer space.
Starting point is 01:02:17 There is a... Elon Musk apparently went up and circled the Earth, right? Oh, I don't know. I don't think so. He sent a car up there. Richard Branson did something similar. Yeah. I think it's just hard to understand.
Starting point is 01:02:32 Like, look, I'm on board with everything. Yeah, I'm just asking. I mean, it's a physics episode, so I'm just trying to get some answers. No, yeah, yeah. I think it's like until you – it's hard to wrap your head around it. Like it's, but that's also, but I mean, that's everything in life. I mean, it's crazy that we're sitting here at a table and like we started somewhere, you know, like that's all insane. If, you know, whether people believe in Big Bang or God or whatever, all of it's insane.
Starting point is 01:03:02 And it's insane that we're here. And I can't tell you exactly why we are here so why do you think that um uh there's nothing going on like that on mars what do you think's happening because they're stupid yeah what do you think they're up to well mars has what what about it why doesn't it have why are people well why no gas and oxygen they have gas different types of gas that'll kill you gas and oxygen. They have gas. Different types of gas. It'll kill you. But no oxygen.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Yeah, you're right. How do you think that is? But it has a gravitational force. So in theory, this is what ultimately we want to do long term, is create an atmosphere over there, plant trees, oxygen grows. Would you rather live on Mars or Mercury? I'd rather live on Mars, for sure. What about the tan you could get on Mercury? mercury i'd rather live on mars for sure what about the tan you can get on mercury you could get a pretty amazing tan how hot would it be is it just because
Starting point is 01:03:51 mars temperature could be good it's very cold i would it's it's cold it's like a problem like you couldn't take your shirt off there right now it's a average temperature on mars is about minus 80 degrees fahrenheit and you have to live that the whole time unless they built the atmosphere. See, that would make me, that's going to make me feel weird. If you go build an atmosphere, then I am going to be like, well, why are we, how, like, then you question our atmosphere. You're like, so y'all just built one? Yeah. And then you're like, well, who, did someone build our, like, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:04:23 Like, how do you, building an atmosphere, like, that would seem. I feel like we learn how to do anything from what we already have. God created stuff, and then we learn how to do it our own way. Did you say negative 80 in Mars? Yeah, it's average. I mean, I feel like I've been to Iowa when it's negative 20. Yeah. It feels like Mars would be much colder.
Starting point is 01:04:43 Now, Mercury can actually get up to negative 290 degrees Fahrenheit. Oh, it's cold there. Because, well, it can get up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit when it's straight on the sun, but there's no atmosphere to trap in the heat or retain it at all. So once it turns around from the sun, it just gets cold. That's a pretty awful living environment there. I mean, that's quite a range.
Starting point is 01:05:04 It's tough to control the thermostat. Well mean, that's quite a range. Yeah. Well, some people go to Mercury and some not. I think the goal is, I mean, the sun is expanding and it's going to blow up, right? After a certain amount of time, it'll just swallow the Earth. So ideally, you get farther away from the sun. And we're talking billions and billions of years from now. But eventually, the sun will get so big. What's the first one?
Starting point is 01:05:28 Venus or? Mercury. Mercury's the first one. Mercury, Venus. Oh, yeah. Why would we go to Venus? Well, Venus is closer to the sun. Venus is just gas, too.
Starting point is 01:05:36 It's like poisonous gas. Why stop at Mars, though, if we're trying to get away? Let's go. Just hop on over. Well, it's baby steps. Yeah. It's just see if we can even do it yeah and then you gotta forge your mail to mars if they yeah if they came and said to you hey we got a place for you on mars do you want to go i mean how long is it gonna take you to get
Starting point is 01:06:01 there to mars yeah i think about nine months yeah oh really long time oh would you think it would be years uh yeah i don't know yeah well i think if you go to mars at this point you're not coming back that's the point is you're gonna go there and start a colony there yeah so it's like do i want to uproot my life in earth no i don't think so i don't know you to be the first to go you know yeah they were taking volunteers for some mars thing where you don't get to come back and thousands of people were registering for it just young guys like when you were in your 20s it had nothing going on like i'll go i don't care that's really nothing going on though i had more going on than that all right i'm sorry i compared it to you, but it's mostly young guys.
Starting point is 01:06:46 In my 20s, I would be like, is there going to be booze on the ship? And is there going to be single women? I think you should have signed up for it. And they go, why are you here? You go, because I don't believe that you even have a Mars. So I'm calling your bluff. That's all you need to say. That's how you start in.
Starting point is 01:07:02 But that was not me in my 20s. But now they would just put you on the air and you know fly around the and go oh we got some complications yeah i think a large part of this is that a lot of the the principles of physics and and everything else are very counterintuitive we we tend to experience and feel things differently i I remember one of the first breakthrough, like, wow, I can't believe that moment, was the high school physics class, Mr. Diamond, my teacher. He said, if you take a gun and shoot it completely straight out, 90-degree angle, and you drop a bullet from the gun at the same height,
Starting point is 01:07:45 at the same time as you fire the bullet, they'll hit the ground at the same time. I remember thinking, well, that just, no. Obviously, the bullet from the gun would go, you know, it would take longer to hit the ground, but they'd hit the ground at the same time. That's wild to me. Why is that?
Starting point is 01:08:02 Because the horizontal speed, which the bullet's being fired out of the gun, has nothing to do with the gravitational acceleration of the Earth. It's still going to fall down at the exact same speed. So that's where the bullets are going when they fire. They just immediately, just eventually end up on the ground. And it would take the exact same amount of time as if you just dropped it from that same height. It just fell.
Starting point is 01:08:24 Because it's the same gravitational force. It's wild and pretty counterintuitive i think you gasped i don't know if i gasped but i did give it like oh i don't think i was ever learning like that i never like when i heard something i never thought man that's i was like, I'm here because we have to be here. We didn't have a Professor Diamond. We had a Professor Cole. You know what I mean? Dusty school. I like this quote. This is from a physics professor, Neff Weber.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Physics explain laws that govern God's creation. I think that's really cool. Neff Weber? Yeah. That's my grandfather, isn't it? I don't know. Is it? Neff Weber?
Starting point is 01:09:13 South Alabama? Yeah, yeah. That's it. Where'd you find that? On the internet. Oh, wow. That's your grandfather? Yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 01:09:19 No, I knew it was your grandfather. I was going to say. What did he say? Is it? He was a physics professor, right? He was, yeah. Oh, we're getting more to the... Oh, yeah. I was going to say. What did he say? Is it? He was a physics professor, right? He was, yeah. Oh, we're getting more to the, here's the Weber tree. I looked him up.
Starting point is 01:09:31 He said, physics explain laws that governs God's creation. Yeah. I think that's a cool quote. Yeah, my grandfather. Yeah. He was very religious, but a scientist. Oh, wow. He's the one who wrote into Mythbusters, right?
Starting point is 01:09:42 Yeah, he's the one that wrote into Mythbusters, so they did an equation wrong. Oh, wow. Old Neff. Mythbusters, right? Yeah, he's the one that wrote into Mythbusters, so they did an equation wrong. Oh, wow. Old Neff. Old Neff, dude. Yeah. That's a cool name. It's a family name. My brother's the fourth, and he stopped.
Starting point is 01:09:54 He didn't name his son the fifth. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I think you've got to stop it at some point, right? Neffed? It was Fost and Neff. Family name. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:05 So he had a son. He's like, I don't think I'm doing this to him, right? Neft. It was Fost and Neff family. Yeah. So he had a son and he's like I don't think I'm doing this to him giving him this weird name. Yeah but y'all have like a kingdom
Starting point is 01:10:11 so who's gonna get it? Anything after four seems a little crazy. Could you name your son that and keep it going? Or does it have to be
Starting point is 01:10:20 his son? I think you'd have to start over with my son. One. Reboot. Right. Start over and get it going again. One. Reboot. Right? He'd start over.
Starting point is 01:10:26 Get it going again. Like Scream? Yeah. I feel like it'd be hard to be like, if you think you're like, I do get it. But then you also, do you want to be the one that goes, that's enough? Yeah. It must be tough. That's tough.
Starting point is 01:10:39 Yeah. To stop. I mean, it's been four generations. Because you could always make it like a middle name, right? You could. Yeah, yeah, but all four generations had first and middle name. Foster, Neff,
Starting point is 01:10:52 whoever. It was my great great grandmother. Her name was Boogie. Boogie. It's some Alabama name. Yeah, did not. She was not a part of physics. No, I don't think she was a physicist. I think me and Dusty have a lot more fun with boogie. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:08 She was in a fight with her husband the day she gave birth and made up a name to make him mad. Made up a name out of Fost and Neff. Two made up words. And it just stuck. And then there's four generations of them. So she was mad at her husband and took it out on her son. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:24 That's some very Alabama stuff. That's a way to put it. Yeah. And then and took it out on her son yeah that's some very alabama stuff that's a way to put it yeah they took it out on all this generational trauma yeah yeah oh boogie faustin f ph f just austin with an f in front of it oh faustin faust my brother went by faust false this whole life and, it's just the firstborn. Uh-huh. Firstborn son. Yeah, so you're Aaron. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:49 It's like, who cares? It's kind of pointless. Yeah, I know. After that, they go, what do you want? He just asked you, what does your name want to be? It doesn't matter. Let's call you It Doesn't Matter. It Doesn't Matter Weber.
Starting point is 01:12:01 It Doesn't Matter Weber. I have Foss. Lord Faustin's going to take over this manor. Lord Faustin IV. Yeah. I think you should name your son Faustin Neff V and just keep that going. Who's going to stop me?
Starting point is 01:12:16 Right. And then take over your brother. That's a way to get in. That's a way to get in the back door. Revenge. And then revenge. who doesn't matter now yeah yeah exactly i saw a video on youtube from neff weber yeah of your brother michael graduating inside your house your dad gave him a diploma and there you are dressed in a lime green
Starting point is 01:12:41 shirt and a green tie and green shorts for the graduation ceremony. Oh, I don't remember that at all. I also don't have a brother named Michael. Okay, I guess I'm wrong about that part. That's what I'm kind of being hung up on. My bad. I can't remember his name. My brother Daniel.
Starting point is 01:12:55 Daniel, okay. You remember this? Vaguely. I don't remember what I was wearing. Did it look silly? It kind of looked a little silly. Okay. The way he described it.
Starting point is 01:13:03 You don't have to pull that up. Why is it on YouTube? I don't know know i guess my grandpa was just uploading stuff to youtube okay yeah you look fun um so the one thing i know about physics that i've heard is an object in motion will stay in motion right these are newton's laws of motion three big ones all right an object that will remain in motion what does that mean and it means things keep doing what they're doing you know unless something stops unless keep trucking on unless just keep on truck that was newton's first look yeah just keep on trucking on you know yeah but unless it's acted upon something so if you had a golf ball, it's going to keep going until it hits a tree or if you hit a golf ball in
Starting point is 01:13:46 space, it will keep going forever until something stops it. It's just going to keep moving and keep moving. That's also called the law of inertia, which is, you know, inertia. Like when you stop in a car,
Starting point is 01:14:00 you'll continue to fly forward because your body wants to keep much like in an elevator if you jump the inertia would bring you on like so our bodies would keep falling if it was for gravity we stopped because of the ground our gravity pulling us to the ground yeah yeah gravity's pulling us to the ground yeah so like hitting golf ball on a course is it's got the gravity once it goes gravity's just starting to yank on it yeah oh it's yanking out the whole time yeah it's never not yanking so that's the external force that's acting on it yeah it's gravity there's also wind resistance and temperature and all these other factors. So in space, which is essentially a vacuum, none of that plays. I throw a baseball, the speed that it leaves my hand,
Starting point is 01:14:50 it will just continue that speed forever until it runs into something. Which is fun to think about. He's got a lot of chances. When they say it's a vacuum, I never think I've ever realized. So space is like, I always think of a literal vacuum. A physical vacuum, yeah. It just means no external factors. Like nothing else in play.
Starting point is 01:15:13 Like whenever you talk about something happening on Earth, you have to factor in, well, you know, there's gravity on the Earth. There's clouds. Yeah, there's cloudy. There's wind resistance. A vacuum is there's nothing. Yeah. It's literally just considered. It consider nothing to do with the actual vacuum that we use the word vacuum but you can create a vacuum actually if you stick a vacuum
Starting point is 01:15:30 into a tub or something and suck out all the air now it's a vacuum and inside that tub if you in it but it has a top you'd have to cover the top. Yeah. But there are devices where you can, you know, like one of those bags. Yeah. Those space bags. Yeah, vacuum sealed. Anything vacuum sealed. That has zero gravity in it. Inside.
Starting point is 01:15:54 It still has gravity. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So I guess it's not a perfect. So where did the word vacuum come from for? I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:02 You heard that expression, though? It doesn't exist in a vacuum that's where it comes from once it gets sucked up it doesn't exist anymore that's what i've always said so what are the other two well i was gonna say another example of this is daniel tosh had a bit about how how does superman fly faster like i get that he flies but how does he he's flying how does he speed it up yeah how does he speed it up it's like that doesn't physically make any sense like it has to go faster unless you're how do you run faster i would imagine you're you're
Starting point is 01:16:39 run faster yeah you're pushing off the ground harder right right? You speed it up. But what is he? Exactly. Yeah, exactly. He's changing gears. Yeah. He's a superhero. Yeah. Yeah, he can do whatever he wants. It's more just a joke.
Starting point is 01:16:59 The most boring of them all. You think? Yeah, absolutely. I like him. I always liked him. I used to dress up as clark kent when i was a kid not even superman i was just going to school i have i have pictures of being like a suit and tie and i was like five or six just like i'm clark kent and i'll just say would you wear something like a superman undershirt just in case i was at work yeah oh you're at work and you're like i just in case? I was at work. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:26 Oh, you were at work and you were like, I just wanted to be a reporter. You were at work and you were like, nothing can happen right now. Yeah, I'm a journalist. I don't even have my stuff. I don't even have, I mean, God forbid something happens. Yeah. You were watching Superman going, change back to Clark Kent. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:39 Watching Incredible Hulk being, be Bruce Banner again. Yeah. You want to be a superhero? No, I'm trying to be a journalist. Trying to work for a paper. Old Cinderella? Like the one that lives in the attic? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:52 Yeah, you want to be the pretty Cinderella. Right, right. You'd be the one with the mop. Yeah, don't give me the slipper. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'd be the one that has the mop and the broom, and you're like, oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:18:02 Doing yard work. Yeah. Yeah, just a bunch of fun did you have uh so you had no fun around you or is the gravity i was trying to think something gravity that brings you down yeah there's a lot of stuff that brings you down yeah everything was bringing you down say fun or the gases you couldn't even enjoy mythbusters growing up without your grandfather being like i'm writing them a letter oh wouldn't you enjoy Mythbusters growing up without your grandfather being like, I'm writing them a letter. Oh, wouldn't you enjoy it more like that?
Starting point is 01:18:27 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. No, yeah. You know, yeah. Something y'all talk about on the table. Y'all figure it out together. I wish I had anyone to even watch Mythbusters with. I'll watch it with you, man.
Starting point is 01:18:38 They're like, we don't believe that stuff, man. What do you think happens, Dusty, when things fall? They're just heavy? Yeah, I mean, I think it's weight. It's heavy. Falls. Well, that's a great segue to Newton's second law of motion, which is that net force equals mass times acceleration.
Starting point is 01:18:56 So that's what weight is. It's your mass times your gravitational acceleration. So mass and weight are two different things. I don't know if you said that. What's that? Your gravitational acceleration. So the mass and weight are two different things. But when, that's why. I don't know if you said that, but. What's that? No, I mean, I think, you know, but obviously material, what something's made out of has to play a role.
Starting point is 01:19:15 In what? What something weighs. For sure. I saw an example of this one when I was, so in golf, if you swing a club at the exact same speed, that's the acceleration, right? Mm-hmm. You hit it with a ball, right? Yeah. If you hit a ball with iron and then you hit one with a driver, the mass is bigger, right?
Starting point is 01:19:33 Right. So the force will be more. Is that correct? Totally. Yeah. Yeah. The trade-off is you think the heavier the club, the more mass the club has,
Starting point is 01:19:42 that might affect the speed at which you can hit it. Or a baseball bat, for that matter. Baseball bat, exactly, yeah. Theoretically, the heaviest bat in the world, you could hit it the hardest, but it's just impossible to swing it that hard. I would find that middle ground. Finding the sweet spot.
Starting point is 01:20:00 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, find... You good, man? Yeah. I just think that's funny. You did fine in that middle ground. I did read where golf uses more physics than any sport.
Starting point is 01:20:14 Totally. That's why I like it. Launch angles and speed. That's always been what's drawn you to it. That's always drawn to me. I go, why does the ball keep coming down? Game of physics. Even a golf ball, they said the dimples,
Starting point is 01:20:25 a ball will go further through the air than a smooth ball because of friction. Whoa. Friction with the air. Yeah. Makes the game fun when you're out there talking about this stuff. Yeah. They should make the swimmer's caps out of, like, dimpled little head shields.
Starting point is 01:20:43 Yeah. But then you're on to something. Yeah. Get some friction going out there. I just read something. I saw just a headline, so I have no idea if this story is real, but it was like a clickbait thing that said some suits are being, you can't use them anymore because they make people too fast.
Starting point is 01:21:00 Wow. Oh. That's good. Yeah. I have no idea what the basis of this is off of. It's too fast. They're too hydrodynamic. We wouldn't want swimming to be too exciting. Olympic swimmers.
Starting point is 01:21:14 Let's slow them down a little bit. Yeah. Because of physics, they shave all body hair, they wear swim caps to cover their heads, and cover much of their bodies with a specially designed swimsuit that mimics shark skin for better hydrodynamics. That sounds like what they should outlaw. You're wearing literally shark skin.
Starting point is 01:21:32 Killing sharks. Killing sharks with your bare hands. Yeah, that's tough. Yeah. Well, Nate, do you have any idea what you weigh on other planets? Let's say you weigh 165 here. 63 this morning. All right. Let's say you weigh 165 here. 63 this morning. Alright. Wow, that's impressive.
Starting point is 01:21:48 You would weigh 27 pounds on the moon. Oh. Which would be nice. So just move there. If we move to Mars, I mean, which might happen in your lifetime, Nate, you'll weigh 62 pounds. That'd be nice. That would be just a nice And if you want to get a little idea of what my life's been like, go over to Jupiter.
Starting point is 01:22:07 Where you'll weigh 390 pounds. Well, what's going on on Jupiter? Yeah. Well, the mass, the gravitational acceleration, even though your mass is the same, the gravitational acceleration is so much stronger that you're going to weigh more. So you can't even really walk on Jupiter. You're being pulled down. So stuff's going to, like, you drop a quarter, it's like, God. It's hard to throw marshmallows and quarters in them. You're like, it's going to, yeah, it would just,
Starting point is 01:22:31 you would never make it to the person in front of you. It'd be a nightmare. Tough to walk, even. Oh, you couldn't walk, yeah. No. You get ripped apart just by the gravitational force, I think. The sun, you'd weigh 4,467 pounds. Assuming you could stand on the sun. So Earth is just a real miracle then it is yeah right place right time it's a real miracle what was like the uh
Starting point is 01:22:55 is earth wait what i'm just talking about yeah i mean it's like just worked out great here well that's the but that's the i think earth is a miracle or yeah yeah it is yeah i mean it's like just worked out great here well that's the but that's the i think earth is a miracle yeah yeah it is yeah i mean i agree that's what i'm saying yeah yeah yeah no it's what it is it's crazy that everything's so perfect yeah it's you know and that's how and i'm sure that's how the side people that don't believe in god or something like you know they think well it's like that's why it all worked out and And it's all like, because it's so perfect, everything's worked out the way it's worked out. And it's all, but it's all insane. I don't know if you ever mentioned the third law.
Starting point is 01:23:33 No, we're about to get into it. Oh, I'm sorry. It's the wildest one. All right, go ahead. No, we can start it. What were you going to say? I just didn't want you to forget it. So people wouldn't say, you never mentioned the third one.
Starting point is 01:23:41 Yeah, the third law, you've heard this, I'm sure. For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction, which means literally any force exerted on anything, that thing exerts an equal and opposite force back to it. To me. So when you push your finger down on this table, the table is literally pushing back against you with an equal and opposite force.
Starting point is 01:24:07 That's why you break your finger. That's why you can break your finger if you push too hard. If you punch the wall easy or punch the wall hard, you're going to hurt your fist. I don't believe that. Yeah. Well, here's a good example of a lot of these things we can see better in space where there's zero gravity. So here's a video of an astronaut in the International Space Station. He's got a guy who's essentially his same mass, about the same size.
Starting point is 01:24:34 He's going to push this guy forward. And you see that causes him to be pushed backward because there's an equal and opposite force push back against him. So just to think that that's happening everywhere, every, they could figure that out on the ground. What do you mean? Just somewhere else.
Starting point is 01:24:54 I mean, Oh, he's going to dunk. Yeah. Well, he shows here when he's throws a basketball forward, there's still an equal and opposite force coming back from the basketball, but because he's bigger it doesn't move him as much as something with the same mass yeah it's all like sounds like
Starting point is 01:25:13 physics seems like something they just made up for people to have jobs like it's all just kind of it's all just kind of stuff that's like well he's because he's bigger you go okay yeah that's right no you're right because of you know and this guy talks about it and they go that's why we're in space that's why it costs 800 million dollars to come and he goes and then there's that and i threw a basket we had the basketball we're about to take off. He's like, the guy's got the spaceship in neutral. You forgot the basketball? Yeah. Go back.
Starting point is 01:25:50 We need the basketball. Y'all going to play basketball up there? No, I'm going to do a force thing. He goes, well, yeah, but use a box of cereal or something you got up there. He goes, no, no, no. People know what basketballs are. You could have just used something around the capsule. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:09 Well, he's trying to find something the same mass as him. Yeah. Well, I was talking about the basketball, but yeah. Yeah, that it's an equal force. That's cool. It's fun. It's cool stuff. So you don't believe that, Dusty?
Starting point is 01:26:21 I don't know what's going on here. Yeah. But you at least admit if you punch a wall easy and then punch it hard, it's going to be harder on your hand. Well, I'm not arguing what these guys are doing, like where he pushes that guy. But, yeah, I mean, I don't know. To me, it's like you don't need physics to tell you
Starting point is 01:26:40 if you punch the wall harder, it's going to hurt you more. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Yeah, I mean, it's like, I don't need physics. That's the southern physics. It's like if you break your finger because you keep pushing harder. I mean, to me, that doesn't say the tables push. Don't blame the table. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:27:01 You've done this to yourself. That's what's wrong with this country. We're always trying to blame someone else, right? Yeah, I mean, yeah. This is, you've done this to yourself. That's what's wrong with this country. We're always trying to blame someone else, right? Yeah. I mean, yeah. I mean, you know, I mean, obviously that guy's floating around up there, but, you know, I just, I don't know. What about, you got an experiment coming? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:21 I do. We're just going to save that for the end. Oh, okay. Dusty's like, I was hoping it was the end. No, no, I like this. This is fun. I love to talk about this stuff. I love fiction. I can't remember which one's
Starting point is 01:27:34 which, and I was just hoping I was right. Fiction? No, physics. I love hearing your guys' dreams. Go ahead. Here's one I have on Einstein's general relativity that talks about uh how the earth is spinning a thousand miles per hour and it's going around the sun at 67 000 miles per hour but we can't feel it right yeah sometimes i feel it
Starting point is 01:27:59 it's because it's moving at a constant speed at all times. So if something's moving at a constant speed, you don't feel it. An example it gave, if you're on a train that's moving a hundred miles per hour, you threw a ball up in the air, it's going to come back down to you. But that ball is still moving at a hundred miles per hour. So,
Starting point is 01:28:20 uh, come on, Aaron, help me out here. No, I was saying, so if the earth stops spinning. You're in trouble.
Starting point is 01:28:27 If it just like suddenly stops spinning, it would be a problem. Yeah. If you're on an airplane. Would you even realize it? If it stops spinning? Yeah. Oh, we would fly. How fast are we moving right now?
Starting point is 01:28:39 1,000 miles an hour. Spinning 1,000 miles and then going 67 miles an hour. So imagine you're in a car that's moving 1,000 miles an hour and then the car just stops suddenly you'll fly through the windshield that's what everything on the earth would because we're moving that fast we all had seat and you all have inertia i think it's centripetal force around the core of the earth i mean it would be buildings would fall over we'd be fine if you were like in the ocean on an inner tube. Yeah. That'd be a good time. You'd be like, whoa. People that have a house on the water. This is awesome.
Starting point is 01:29:10 Yeah. People that have a house on the water would be like, that's pretty good. Yeah. That's kind of fun. That's true. Yeah. You time it out right. Yeah. It's going to be bad for a lot of you and some of you are going to have a pretty good time. If you're at Panama a pretty good time bigger panama city beach yeah yeah it's gonna be a fun weekend yeah would you go a thousand miles away just like that you'd just be oh i think you'd slow down from you know friction
Starting point is 01:29:35 on the water or whatever but you'd be you're we're moving a thousand miles an hour yeah or whatever the speed of rotation of the earth is yeah already so you would start moving that yeah i mean it would be what if i started driving a car 300 miles an hour the other way where it's going to stop be a fast car for one yeah yeah i'd have to do the math but yeah you could counteract it a little bit yeah just hit the brakes right as the earth stopped and you oh man that'd be great that'd be. What if you jumped like an elevator? Yeah, right at that moment. Maybe get hit by something on the way around.
Starting point is 01:30:10 You land in Asia? Yeah, but you just, when you set your feet back down, you're like in. You jumped, you'd be good. Well, you're 1,000 miles. Well, no, no, it's exactly like the elevator. You'd still fly. You're still moving 1,000 miles an hour. You'd hit some mountains.
Starting point is 01:30:23 Yeah. Yeah, but if we thought of a 100-mile-an-hour plane, I mean like a train, you throw that ball up and it comes to a complete stop, the ball's not going to just fall. It would just go. What do you mean? If you're inside the train? If you're inside the train, it immediately stops, hits a wall,
Starting point is 01:30:42 so everything's going to come crashing. Well, if i threw the ball right at that moment would the ball not hit and then everything would knock it forward so like if you jumped it's like everything around you would go spin like a record you just and then you land and you're in like you know memphis i don't know yeah if you're on a train going 100 miles an hour and throw up a ball does it it just comes right down to you what do you mean if you're going If you're on a train going 100 miles an hour and throw up a ball, it just comes right down to you? What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:31:08 If you're on a train, if you're in it, and you throw it up, and it just comes right back down on you? No, no. That's why they won't let you throw balls in train. That's one of the main reasons. I don't want you to know. Because people are just reading newspaper, and they go, whose ball is this?
Starting point is 01:31:23 Guy's in the back of the train are you kidding me right now dude i was trying to read my physics paper yeah and then you go it's physics you can be on an airplane though that's going 600 miles per hour there's no turbulence or anything but that's uh you know a tube a sealed yeah sealed but i guess my point is you can and they're not real go ahead you can be moving 600 miles an hour and it could feel like you're not even moving right but it's the train sealed like that well i was talking more about the earth as far as it's spinning yeah they can open the door of the train yeah i just wonder though on a train if you're going that fast and you i mean i've never been on a train if you're going that fast and you,
Starting point is 01:32:05 I mean, I've never been on a train going that fast. If you drive a car a hundred miles an hour and you just, it'll still just go up like you're not moving at all. Huh.
Starting point is 01:32:12 Still. Yeah. If the train stopped suddenly it'd be a whole different thing. Yes. Because everything is going, but that's what I mean, the ball would fall straight down.
Starting point is 01:32:19 I don't think the ball would just jerk. So like that means if the earth stopped, if you felt like, I bet it's about to happen, and you just jumped, you would be all right.
Starting point is 01:32:29 I think it slams to the front of the, the ball would slam to the front of the train. Because when you throw it up, it's moving at the speed of whatever. And if everything came
Starting point is 01:32:41 to a complete stop. It's still moving at that speed. It just does, it lands on the different part. No think it was in the air but if you're on i guess the wind is out there i was gonna say if you're on top of the train and you jump you're not landing in the same spot yeah you would would you yeah oh because that's why they can fight on a train that's why i mean you also got wind resistance you're gonna. That's why they can fight on a train? I mean, you've also got wind resistance. Yeah, you're going to get blown a little bit by the wind,
Starting point is 01:33:07 but you wouldn't jump and then go all the way back. Oh, because you're moving, and as you jump, you're still moving. Right, right. Yeah. We're learning some physics here. All right, we want to do this experiment? Yeah. I want to see what this is all about.
Starting point is 01:33:25 Well, I have no idea if this is going to work, but this is something I read online. Some of these drinks should float. Some of them should not. You guys want to guess before we do it? I'm betting diet floats. I'm trying to think what I've dropped in a lake before. And if you look at the cans.
Starting point is 01:33:44 I think diet floats. If you look at the cans, they're all the same size. So if you're listening, what we've got on the table here is a tub full of water, and in front of it, we've got four different caffeinated beverages. Not necessarily caffeinated, but carbonated. Diet Coke, Coke Zero,
Starting point is 01:33:59 regular Coke, and then a Pepsi... Wild Cherry. Pepsi Wild Cherry. I meant to get regular Pepsi, but I grabbed it too fast. I don't know. Wild Cherry might be a variable, but do you want to try it, Nate? I do enjoy a Wild Cherry Pepsi. So them doing the Wild Cherry Pepsi. I had a diet one I liked a lot. But even to it, I'm more of a diet.
Starting point is 01:34:16 A diet, zero Cherry Coke. Cherry Coke Zero. Cherry Coke Zero is I mean, that's like a dessert. You get some ice in it. It's nice. I bet it would do better out of all these. Ooh, it'd suck.
Starting point is 01:34:31 It floats a little. It's floating. Yeah. That's floating? I think if the tub was bigger, I think that one would float. It would float upside down. That's kind of half. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:41 Inconclusive. I think it's showing us that they didn't fill that all the way up. Yeah. There's some air left in that. Yeah. All right. It's a regular Coke. Regularconclusive. I think it's showing us that they didn't fill that all the way up. Yeah. There's some air left in that. Yeah. All right. So regular Coke. Regular Coke.
Starting point is 01:34:49 Same. So I guess it's trying to float. I think it's trying to, but I think it's... Not enough water. Part of it goes down. Not enough water. So far, this has been great. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:59 So Coke Zero. Coke Zero. Coke Zero. That floats more than the other. It's floated the best that definitely floated more yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:35:08 alright alright that floated the most I think if the thing were deeper it would work yeah Diet Coke's the same one all the same one
Starting point is 01:35:16 well no you wouldn't see those two those two first ones basically the same alright so that didn't work I stopped I stopped at Kroger for nothing.
Starting point is 01:35:27 They're all in there. And they're all exactly the same. Like they're all the exact... Coke is seeming to drag the bottom the most. But the rest are all the... It's basically if I said, go grab me a drink,
Starting point is 01:35:48 and I said, give me the one that's closest to the bottom, you would be confused. Which one? Yeah. You would go, and you would just, you would give up and grab whatever. Get the one that's floating. Now, I think that the Coke Zero and the Diet Coke are completely suspended. Yeah. Are they?
Starting point is 01:36:03 Yeah. Okay. The Coke, regular suspended. Yeah. Are they? Yeah. The Coke, regular Coke is dragging. That's kind of floating. If the bucket were deeper, we'd get a better illustration of this.
Starting point is 01:36:16 So Brian, why does the diet float in them? Because it doesn't have sugar. Sugar is denser than water, so regular soft drinks are denser than water, but diet drinks are less dense than water. So therefore they float. I mean,
Starting point is 01:36:32 this is a good episode and that's going to be the end. We saved up for that. You know what it is? It's the sugar inside of it. Well, this was the physics for kids experiment that they gave us. Yeah. This is how they're teaching the kids.
Starting point is 01:36:49 And then when the experiment's over, they go, crack these open. I mean, I'm not saying I knew that. It's like OJ with the glove. Trying it on. I'll try. Always remember, people are listening. I even brought a clear container so everyone could see it. Well, it's good to know.
Starting point is 01:37:06 It's good to know. Diets will float. It's good to know. Because you have a big trash can. Right. And it's got ice and water in it. And someone threw some drinks in. If you're a diet drinker, you're going to not be that mad.
Starting point is 01:37:18 But if you're one of non-diet, you're going to have to dig down there. You're going to be cold. Your hands are going to get cold. If you're drinking at the beach or on the lake it benefits you to have a diet so if you want to if the water is cold enough you're like throw me this diet coke you can throw it i don't even catch it i'll get it eventually but if someone's like you want a regular coke be like i gotta make sure it hits me in the hand yeah you better be a good toss yeah because it's going to go right to the bottom that's the stuff this will solve uh i've always felt like physics was important i think yeah and now we i think it's all yeah
Starting point is 01:37:51 physics was like all important it was like i get it like isaac newton doing it and figuring it out because it's like well they have tv or anything so me and grandpa neff yeah Neff. Yeah. Grandpa Neff and Faustin. The old Faustins. Faustin Neffs, Isaac Newton just out there, you know, marveling at this kind of stuff. Yeah. This is what y'all did at the kitchen table? This is the kind of stuff we did.
Starting point is 01:38:19 Yeah. Yep. You guys were playing, I don't know, Pictionary. We were drinking the Cokes. Yeah, we were. Y'all would just do that and go, now, Aaron, which one do you want? He'd go, cherry peppers. Cherry peppers.
Starting point is 01:38:34 All right. Physics. That was fun, right? That's it? That was great. Yeah, it was fun. Yeah. Yeah, I like this.
Starting point is 01:38:42 Yeah, I liked it. We did. I think people learned a lot of stuff and yeah uh all right thank you for listening as always we love you very much uh i don't know when this is coming out but go check us out on the all the websites and uh all that and uh truly we love you very much all right out.
