All right.
Dusty Slay and
another
Dusty Slay
alright
that's what I'm talking about
alright
we're having a good time
alright
having a good time
we could use more of this
Ash
the sheriff hat
where'd you get that hat
this is
it's not easy being dusty.
I've learned that.
Yeah.
The hat is, I can't even talk with this thing.
Hang on.
The hat is my second cousin, Terry Ash.
He was the sheriff in Wilson County for about 20 years.
Wow, that's a good hat.
From the mid-80s to the mid-2000s.
So the hat was the easiest part.
Yeah.
This beard riding up on my mouth here is the hard part
the hair uh i had a brown wig but it was like a clam rock too long yeah i wish i'd have kept it
so my wife convinced me to take it back you kind of got the opposite color thing going i got the
darker beard and the lighter hair yeah which is the i think, good. Yeah. I think it's a nice.
Yeah, a little mismatch here. Yeah.
Kind of works well.
So I took it back.
My wife convinced me to take it back and get a shorter wig.
How much money did that save you taking it back?
It saved me $250.
Okay.
This looks good on you.
And I'm into this look.
The glasses were the hard part.
I texted Dusty and I said, hey, where do you get your glasses?
He said at a thrift store.
I got my others at a thrift store, yeah.
I went to Goodwill.
Didn't have glasses.
Got this shirt at Goodwill.
Yeah.
And then I went to another thrift store.
Could not find the glasses.
Had to order these online.
It's the best I could do.
How much total all in?
About $100.
Oh, really?
Wow.
That's about right.
That's about right.
$100 for the whole. Yeah. The glasses were like 30 something just for the shipping. The shirt was five. in about a hundred dollars oh really wow that's about right that's about right a hundred dollars
for the whole yeah the glasses were like 30 something just for the shipping the shirt was
five you save the money by just getting a haircut once or twice a year yeah yeah a lot of savings
comes in yeah aaron what's the problem here we're having a good time have you ever had a facial hair
like that and here has your hair ever been that long my hair's definitely never been this long and i know i tried facial hair during the pandemic and we saw how that went
i missed it i think i wish i could have seen well there's there's some videos out there video
so this year my my daughter we're going trick-or-treating you know and and so i'm like i
gotta be somebody and i looked at who's the popular Halloween costumes this year,
and they're all terrible.
So I'm like, I want to be Dusty.
There you go.
Yeah, that's a good look.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So everybody listen, Brian Bates is a Dusty slave right now.
We'll show a picture.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dusty, what do you think?
I think it looks great.
I mean, I'm in full support of it.
All right.
Yeah. Making that fudge. Yeah. That was your original catchphrase yeah making that fudge yeah yeah
a lot of you went to um catchphrases yeah you know i've had you know there's always a saying
out there yeah that i'm looking to have catch on yeah you're shucky ducky you do i never did that
one but yeah yeah that's sort of thing. Thought about it? Yeah.
What was it?
Taking the fudge?
Making that fudge.
Making that fudge.
Yeah, I ran into a lady in Charleston.
She said to the bank teller, she goes, lately, I've been making that fudge.
Now, it turns out she was working at a fudge company.
Oh.
She was making that fudge, but I interpret it as slang for making money.
Yeah, yeah.
Because we were in a bank.
Yeah. Like making that bread were in a bank. Yeah.
Like making that bread, making that cheese.
Yeah.
You know.
She said making that. Making that fudge.
And she truly meant making that cheese.
Yeah, yeah.
She'd been working at a fudge shop.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How did you find that out?
Well, I just kept listening.
Yeah.
You know.
Did the bank tell her to?
I don't know.
It's unclear.
I was just standing behind her, you know. I was about. It's unclear. I was just standing behind her.
I was about to go wait tables.
I was just trying to get a little bank for the day.
Yeah.
And I just heard her say that.
And it was just the way she said it.
Yeah, yeah.
Lately.
Would you have to get your own bank?
Well, yeah.
So if you wait tables, you have to get change.
Yeah, take like two 20s and break it down to fives and tens.
Yeah. Ones. Yeah. All right. Make some change. Yeah, take like, you know, two 20s and break it down to fives and tens. Yeah. Ones.
Yeah. Alright. Make some
change. Okay.
That's good. Alright, you can be able to do that.
I don't think so. Yeah, you can take
it off. Alright, I think we've served his purpose
right. Keep the hair and
hat though. That's great. Yeah, keep the hair and the hat.
From now on.
Forever? Yeah. What if I just do this?
I love that. You look like Garth now. You do look like Garth from Wayne World. Forever? Yeah. What if I just do this? I love that.
You look like Garth now.
I was going to say.
You do look like Garth
from Wayne World.
Yeah.
You could wear that
and everybody would think
you're Garth from Wayne World.
All right.
I just changed my Halloween costume.
I mean,
it's pretty wild.
Yeah.
It's almost a perfect Garth
from Wayne World.
But it's Wayne
that has the black hair, right?
I don't know.
I've never watched a movie. People say I look like Wayne's World a lot. I get Wayne's World too. it's Wayne that has the black hair right I don't know I've never watched
the movie people say I look like Wayne's world a lot I get Wayne's world too it's Garth's glasses
but kind of Wayne's hair right and uh I mean let's not beat around it it's a lot of the same face
yeah so you if you got blonde hair yeah dude I mean that's crazy if you got blonde hair
you would be I mean a perfect Garth perfect I mean, a perfect Garth.
Perfect Garth.
All right.
Perfect Garth.
Well, I may have to change.
I wanted to be dusty for Halloween, but I may have to.
The people have spoken.
I think we'll have to explain a lot less if you go by Garth.
I think they're going to say Garth, and then they're going to have to remember, wait, did he have, what hair was it?
Did he have black hair?
Like, it would be a mix.
You could say it's a combination of both.
Yeah.
Like, I'm a tribute to both.
I'm both of them right now. Yeah. Yeah, you're both Garth. Because you actually kind of do look like both of them now that I look at it combination of both. Yeah. Like I'm a tribute to both. I'm both of them right now.
Yeah.
Because you actually kind of do look like both of them now that I look at it with that hair.
Yeah.
With that hair and then if you had a Wayne's World hat.
If they had a kid.
If they had a kid.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
That would be pretty good.
All right.
Yeah.
You're older than both dads, but that's, you know.
They had a father.
I'm at least the same age.
Yeah. That's great. Yeah, you have a third member.'m at least the same age.
That's great.
Yeah, you have a third member that never got mentioned.
Yeah, Buddha.
You're like the fifth Beatle.
Season three.
Or what did they do?
Two of those or something?
They did two, yeah.
I don't think I ever saw any of them.
First one was great.
First one's great.
I mean, yeah.
I mean, they're all right.
Yeah.
All right.
I feel like you were like, we were like saying it's good,
and you're almost like you showed you liked it too much.
You're like, well, I'm not into that much. No, I think the opposite.
I think you didn't like it.
You just didn't want to get it.
No, I mean, I like it, but I do think it's overrated.
Okay.
Like, it's like really hyped up, and I'm like, it's pretty fun.
But you might not have been the right age when it came out.
Maybe so.
I think I was the perfect age.
Because I was their age.
Yeah.
A couple guys like me.
Yeah.
Hanging out in my mom's basement.
I'm more an Austin Powers.
When it comes to Mike Myers, I'm more an Austin Powers fan.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, that makes sense.
He really lost me with Love Guru, though. I fell off. Yeah, I never saw that. I heard it was terrible Powers fan. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that makes sense. He really lost me with Love Go
Row, though. I fell off. Yeah, I never
saw that. I heard it was terrible. That's one of the worst.
Okay. That's what
this podcast is about today.
Michael Myers, kind of, but not that way.
Yeah, in a way.
Welcome, everybody, to the show.
First, we've been gone
a good bit.
We're back.
If you have seen on, I mean, I announced it on everything
and talked about it a lot.
I will be playing Bridgestone Arena April 15th.
I went to the Predators game.
I got to wave the towel.
We stayed and watched the, we were sitting right behind the L.A. Kings bench, and we ended up staying.
This is where they put us, and we stayed there, me, Harp, and Laura.
I was home for like 24 hours, and we went and did that.
But it was super fun.
It was fun to talk to Harp about hockey.
Like, I don't know everything, but it was – you know,
like they get to see them fight and so i've been
just bumping her against walls checking her just i've been checking her at home going this is
hockey there was a fight at the game you're right yeah there's a couple and so i was like yeah they
just let them fight and then and then i pulled her shirt over her to show her you know go this
is what they do and then i uh so then I – so the whole thing was great.
We ended up leaving it when overtime started.
But the main reason was we had an L.A. Kings guy sitting behind us,
and he just started like – he didn't really say anything the whole game.
He wasn't cursing or anything, but he was just – he started like going,
let's go, L.A. – like just by himself and going crazy.
And it was so loud.
And it's like they came back and i get it uh and i don't you know it's like look if he was yelling that the whole time maybe we could have
i'd buy the consistency of it but they came back i get it he's excited third game of the season
uh crucial game yeah and then we i didn't say anything to him, but over time, it was like he was getting so loud, and he just wouldn't stop doing that chant.
Were people joining in, or was it just him?
Like the one other guy behind him.
Yeah.
That's the LA Kings fan.
And he's my age.
Like, you know, that's the thing I have the most.
You're going like, hey, come on now.
Yeah.
I've learned with sports, the older you get, you're like,
it's children out there.
They could be my child.
So we got to probably, let's knock it back a little bit and just not be.
Every sporting event I go to, I'm shocked by people in the crowd.
Yeah.
I'm like, you got so much invested in this, I guess.
Yes.
He had a lot.
And it was, I would never say he was being any you know
if he was like cursing and yelling like then you we would have left way earlier but it was just it
was right behind us he was the seat behind us you know it's getting loud harper's 10 it was
at that point it's super late uh and when we got up and left he's like are y'all leaving
and i wish i would have been like, we're leaving.
Yeah, you feel like you're into this super hard.
I want the Predators to win, but I also have a 10-year-old.
I got a life outside of this.
Yeah, I'm just trying.
My name was on the ice tonight.
I don't know if you noticed all the pictures.
They advertised it the whole game.
But then they end up losing which
was just we've missed that in the shootout but we just hit a boy when you got a kid you're just
you know you're yeah it's like oh why did you stay she's 10 it's tuesday uh i'm so we i was
surprised we made it to the third we were having so much fun yeah that we stayed and i we would
have stayed probably the whole time.
But once that started happening, it was like, all right.
And the guy loves LA so much that he's in Nashville.
I mean, it's like, did you travel with the team?
Or have you moved here?
Yeah, I'm sure he moved.
Yeah, yeah.
But the whole thing was great.
And they gave me this jersey.
It's got my name
they gave us all jersey they were so nice and uh it's yeah it's wild like just seeing it and then
you're just looking around i mean you're you know you're you're on advertised on everything i saw
your picture on the jumbotron that's super cool really yeah it's wild yeah very wild very wild
doing some of these we've done uh we just were in grand rapids and uh i mean
it was like five five six thousand people or something just arena it's unreal but you do it
too it's so crazy because you like do shows and then you go to arena and you're like oh this is
this is serious that's what you feel yeah here's grand rapids man it looks wow yeah and when you're up there
i mean it's like you just go like oh this is not a joke like not that not that you ever took
anything for a joke before but i think you just gradually yeah move forward that you are not as
i mean you can't believe you're in theaters but you're in like a 800 seat theater versus a 300
seat club you know it's like little jumps.
Yeah.
And then you get to an arena and you're like, oh, well, this is for real.
Big deal.
This is, yeah.
You're like, it's got to be.
You know, you get there and you're like, oh, I got to be.
When we went to that Grand Rapids, it was like we just stayed in the arena
kind of all day.
You know, it's like it was a beautiful day.
We got very lucky this weekend when the weather was awesome.
And in every city we went to, I mean, Green Bay, Rockford, and there,
Grand Ards, we were somewhere before that.
Golly, boy.
Duluth, Minnesota.
Oh, yeah, Duluth, yeah.
Duluth's awesome.
Unbelievable town.
Yeah, Duluth's great.
Yeah.
It's a little hidden gem there.
You get there, and you're like, oh, wow.
Right on the water.
Right on the water.
Cool.
Looks nice.
Yeah, people should go there.
But, yeah, it was – but that one we just stayed in the arena kind of the whole day.
Because you just – you know, we walked around.
We went – we'd been working out, and we worked out in their gym.
And I think the street training coach was in there, and he was not happy.
He was like, what are y'all doing?
He just yelled it.
And, I mean, so you got to mix.
Well, we had our video guy, Schubert.
Justin was – if you ever see the videos, you hear a voice in the back.
It's Justin Schubert.
He's been shooting a lot of these clips and stuff for us and been with us.
And he was just riding a bike and everything was going good.
And when we all walked in, the guy was like, he was like, don't be messing.
Don't leave everything everywhere.
He's like, Post Malone.
He goes, if I ever see Post Malone again, he's going to punch that guy in the face.
So I guess Post Malone went into the weight room and just left it a wreck.
Didn't re-rack anything.
Didn't re-rack anything.
Didn't wipe down his bench.
Yeah.
And I was like, I don't, and I always think that there's no way it's Post Malone.
Or maybe it is.
I don't know.
I don't know Post Malone, you know.
But I always think it's their people.
Yeah, if you travel pretty deep, as I imagine he does.
I also love that that's that guy's story now.
Now, if anybody ever brings up Post Malone, he's like,
let me tell you about him.
Yeah.
He had a problem.
He looked like he could have.
Yeah.
I mean, he's a hockey strength.
He's the hockey, either the hockey coach or the strength training.
He sounded like a coach.
Yeah.
But our video guy, Justin, he left immediately once that happened.
He felt it got weird.
And then it was. but then we worked out
and then i told the guy i was like hey if you want to come to the show man you're welcome to
and he's like i think i'm gonna go home like he he's like you know i'm trying to as a comic you
kind of want to go like oh let's win him over and he was not thrilled yeah uh but we worked out
he's like he was very i mean he was just i get it we're
in his world that's the thing is like you go we're in his you know i'd imagine if you meet him outside
you're not he's not going to be we just walked into his planet and just you know we're us being
like we're going to work out he's like i mean there's like real hockey people working out in there who was the guy pulling you um oh matt matt was a matt so matt
does uh he worked out here at our home and like so we were doing that like during covid and like
all that stuff with klug fitness okay and then uh klug like during covid they would come to they
come to his house we got our cul-de-sac together and i guess i talked about it on the last special
and this our cul-de-sac we just kind talked about it on the last special. And this is our cul-de-sac.
We just kind of work out together with Matt.
So Matt came out because Eric couldn't come.
Because Eric can travel.
Like, Matt, it's hard.
I mean, it's so much travel.
It takes a – you've got to be able to fit that into your life.
But we're going after it. I'm getting like I don't ever
getting in shape.
I don't ever like showing it a ton.
I did that as a joke.
I'm not trying to hide it
but I don't like
I don't want to just show it
a lot.
You're not going to perform shirtless or anything like that?
No.
You know, we'll see.
Get jagged next special.
Yeah, Bert ain't showing nothing.
But it's, you just, yeah, I always feel weird just, like,
showing, like, workout stuff.
But you, you know, because I don't want to make someone feel bad
because I didn't work out before.
And you're like, I'm just doing it now because I won't be able to go to these. I'm realizing I don't want to make someone feel bad cause I didn't work out before. And you're like, I'm just doing it now.
Cause I won't be able to go to these.
I'm realizing I can't,
I can't travel.
If I,
if I do this,
if I don't do this,
if I don't get in some kind of shape,
I won't be able to go do all these cities.
And I don't want to be miserable and just like have no mental capacity to
like do stuff.
So,
but it's been good. We did a bunch of hiking and stuff like that. But anyway, I have no mental capacity to do stuff.
But it's been good.
We did a bunch of hiking and stuff like that.
But anyway, I'm talking about it too much.
Workout, don't work out.
Do what everyone does.
I support you anyway, no matter what.
Thanks, man.
Aaron's been letting loose.
Yeah, I like to hit a treadmill.
That's about all I like to do.
But I went to Phoenix, and I worked out of that gym,
and everybody was jacked.
I've not been to a non-planet fitness gym in a long time.
And I walk in, and there's people really working out.
I was like, oh, this is different.
What do you do on the treadmill?
I walk.
I like to get a little incline going.
Yeah, that's a great easy, not easy, but it's a great,
you want to get your heart rate up, is you go to like 12 incline and then just walk on like 2.8 or something.
And just do that for, even worst case, 20 minutes.
But that's like, if you can, it can get you going it's a good like before
somewhat before a show i've learned that that feels good you get a little yeah you got some
energy and uh yeah you get some endorphins going you get yeah it helps you not be in the hotel
depressed yes yeah and that's what can happen if you just lay there all day eating it gets
spiraled like when you go on the road that's what you hit. If you just lay there all day eating. It gets spiraled.
Like when you go on the road, that's what you hit a point to go.
If you want to proceed farther, stuff has to, like you have to be ready for this.
And it is very interesting to go.
You can get through clubs.
I mean, everybody, people drink.
They eat bad.
You're like, you're doing it every weekend.
You're just getting like habits of that.
And then you get into theaters and you're doing like, all right,
well now you got to travel each day in between each show
and you're doing a lot more shows.
And then that was like, all right, no more drinking.
Like that's going to put a stop to that.
Or I'm not going to get where I want to get is what I thought.
And then you get to, we start doing even more and you're like,
oh, this food is like a problem.
Like I'm tired and I'm, and my brain is like. problem like i'm tired and i'm and my brain is
like food is so bad it's so bad out here now it is crazy yeah it's crazy what do you mean it's
getting worse i mean i was on the plane and this lady gave me a little bag of uh a little bag of
whatever mix it is you know it's some kind of trail mix and i flipped it over and looked at
the back i mean the ingredients list was like a mile long.
I was like, this is just some nuts and some pretzels here.
What are you putting in this?
Yeah.
What are you doing to us?
Yeah.
You can't do this with two or three ingredients?
That's what I think even too.
And maybe it is.
I want to get in better shape.
It's the older.
But the older you get too, you want to go like,
you start seeing like, what medicine are you trying to make me buy right you're putting me on i'm eating so much weird
stuff do i really need riboflavin whatever that is that's just one i remember it's like what is
that what is riboflavin i don't know anybody cooking at home let's put a little riboflavin
in here it's either made by a robot vitamin b2 oh they'll tell you that but if it were just vitamin
b2 i think they would just say i mean dusty it's essential to the formation of two major coenzymes
yeah i bet it yeah i bet it's real benefit i i know i eat that trail mix and i go that feels
good yeah it feels like my enzymes are together now uh the other thing I was going to say, so everybody knows,
if you come to the Bridgestone show, all of the Nateland crew will be on that show.
All right.
All right.
That weekend, we're going to Johnson City and then Bridgestone.
So you will see all of us.
Well, I'm pumped about it.
That's going to be awesome.
Yeah, it's going to be fun.
Yeah, thanks for having us on there.
Yeah.
No, I'm excited. I think it'll be super fun. That's going to be awesome. Yeah, it's going to be fun. Yeah, thanks for having us on there. Yeah. No, I'm excited.
I think it'll be super fun.
It's going to be – and the show is in the round.
Some people have asked that about tickets.
They're thinking, like, where are you facing and stuff.
The show – so I will be in the middle, and when you go up,
you just kind of make a circle.
So you'll be facing everybody.
I'll probably just sit down, face one way.
You pick a direction.
I go east, Aaron.
No one goes east.
He's the east comic.
East would be weird.
You'd be facing sideways.
Yeah.
I'm going to practice at home, just making circles.
How many times do you think you'd get around, Aaron?
You mean throughout the course of a 10-minute set?
Yeah.
I'd probably make a couple laps.
I can get all the way around.
You move around, though.
I do move around.
It's too much, honestly.
Working on it. Well, this is going to be a good thing for you.
Okay.
Yeah.
I feel like when you're up there,
you're not going to trust your back.
Yeah, well, that's true.
That is true.
What's going on back there
yeah you're gonna people are laughing behind me i feel like it's at me yeah yeah yeah yeah so
you're gonna have to always just kind of be you're gonna feel exhausted yeah yeah mentally for sure
yeah paranoid my nerves will be shot i think brian you will end up sitting on the stage the whole show because you'll forget where to get off.
That's a good chance of that.
Yeah.
That almost happened to me this weekend.
I did my dry bar set, and you just kind of walk out through a curtain
and getting back off and finding that curtain where you go back
through the cracks a little more challenging.
You should get off like, just because the video is not political, but like Joe Biden getting off the stage.
That's how you should always leave the stage.
You just get done and you go, all right, where do I go?
And then someone has to come up and grab you.
Yeah.
Or like award shows.
They win.
They almost always walk the wrong direction.
That would be a good part of your act just the end of it you make someone has to come up and show you
how to get off you always go the other way and then someone grabs you well let me tell you what
happened so i did dry bar this weekend two tapings and they went really well but um these audiences
are trained uh at the end to give you a standing ovation.
It happens pretty much every time.
And it's like you did that, was it comedy.tv?
Yeah.
Where they know to stand at the end.
There's three comics on this lineup.
Really feel special when you know they're supposed to do it.
They stand up when you walk out.
Comedy.tv, they did when you walk out and when you left.
Okay.
Well, for this, they stamped the end.
I'm first.
There's three comics.
There's an emcee that goes out and tells everybody, you know, the routine stuff.
Go to the bathroom now, blah, blah, blah.
Then I go out.
I'm first.
Have a good set.
Get done.
Nobody stands.
I get off.
Second comic goes out.
Has a good set.
Nobody stands. Third comic, super, has a good set. Nobody stands.
Third comic, super high energy, does sound effects, has a flashlight.
I mean, super high energy.
People don't stand.
None of us, they stand.
So I asked the producer about it, and she's like, well, the emcee forgot to tell the audience
that for TV purposes, if you guys would stand at the end or whatever, you know?
So she's like, we'll get it down for show two.
I'm like, okay.
And I listen to him, and he does tell the audience, hey, guys, it looks good on camera
at the end, you know, if you stand or whatever.
Show two starts.
I go out there, have a great set.
Nobody stands.
And this time I linger for just like a little bit longer, you know, like, anybody want it?
No, no.
And then I, you know, then I get off.
Second guy goes up, and I guess he does.
I didn't see this.
He told me.
He basically kind of encourages the crowd with his hand.
They get up thinking they can edit that out.
You know, he'll kind of encourage.
He basically just like, and then everyone stands.
Oh, no.
Third guy goes out, just tells the audience before his last joke,
hey, guys, this is my last joke.
It'd be great if you'd stand.
He kind of makes a joke about it.
I don't know if they'll keep that part in or not.
It was kind of funny.
I hope they do.
I mean, it's kind of funny.
He's basically telling them I need a standing ovation or whatever.
So now I'm the only one that didn't get the standing ovation.
Now the emcee goes out and basically he's telling everyone goodnight.
But the second comic kind of felt bad for everyone goodnight but one of the the second comic
kind of felt bad for me
so he kind of runs out
right when the guy
is wrapping up
and says hey
Brian didn't get
a standing ovation
could we
could we get
one now
so I go up there
on stage
the guy's like what
okay
and then I go up there
on stage
now the audience
just thinks
poor Brian didn't get
a standing ovation
they don't realize
it's for the cameras.
So I just walk out there and they just
all immediately stand up and start cheering and clapping.
I don't even have a mic in my hand.
The curtain is drawn behind me.
I'm just standing there.
There's nothing continuity-wise.
For my set,
the stool was over here with a
glass of water that had never been drinking.
It feels like a make-a-wish at this point. Now the stool's over here with a glass of water that had never been drinking. It feels like a make-a-wish at this point.
Now the stool's over here and the glass is empty.
The mic stand's different.
I have to move all this myself and just try to guess where I had it.
At this point, I don't know if the director's even back there.
She might have been in the car by now.
I don't know.
And then you know how on a real standing ovation, it's a gradual stand-up.
For me, it's just everybody just doing the same time and cheer.
So who knows if that'll even make it on the air.
I hope so.
I hope so.
I hope just like that.
And I hope the curtain's shut and I hope it looks.
Everybody, when they watch it, it'll be interesting to see.
Yeah.
And I'm out there with no mic, so i can't even say guys guys this not yet not
yet i'm just i can't do anything so i just have to stand there until they get done as you move stuff
yeah yeah yeah yeah basically so it looks like they're you look like the janitor out there
cleaning the stage and they're like give it up for that give it up for the work staff everybody
the audience just loves watching you move stuff women Women already had purses on their arms.
I mean, people are ready to go.
What is this? And you're gathering
your belongings and moving a
stool over.
With a glass of water that's now empty all of a sudden.
Amazingly. He goes,
I guess he pounds that water at the end.
And nothing like
the emcee being like, do stand up after the comic,
and then you're done and they don't.
I know.
No matter how good you did, you think.
The audience really rejected that.
It's like they didn't get it.
People came up to me after the show, a lot of folks there, very nice,
and they said, that's the most breakfast thing we could have ever experienced.
They loved it.
But they kept saying they missed it or something.
We were afraid to stand because we were afraid we'd block the cameras or something they were we were afraid to stand
because it would we were afraid we'd block the cameras or something or at least that's what they
told me maybe they just didn't want to no no well yeah people don't you know the taping i think
people are just they're nervous yeah they're like i don't want to mess anything up yeah uh it really
takes one person to do it to get everybody to do it but nobody I was like looking at guys like you will you stand no everyone just
thought they felt
sorry for me
like come on guys
just give Brian
a standing ovation
it just like
they felt like
oh I hope that
makes it special
yeah
well some fashion will
I hope they
even show the other
comic going up
to say hey guys
Brian didn't get
a standing ovation.
I mean,
I feel sorry for him.
That's how they should start the special.
Yeah.
With that guy going,
Brian didn't get a standing ovation.
If someone walked in the room,
they'd be like,
oh,
how old's Brian?
17.
And they're like,
I see you walk out.
He's a kid.
He's a kid.
They're like,
yeah,
I'll do that for that.
I mean,
what is he like 17 or something?
First show?
Yeah.
I like what you said.
It start that way and then do a free frame.
And there I was.
Yeah.
30 minutes earlier.
Wow.
What was his name that did the flashlight?
It wasn't Mutzi.
Okay.
We've talked about him before.
It was a guy named Darren Carter.
Oh, I know Darren.
Oh, you did?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, Darren's great.
Yeah.
Yeah, super fun.
Yeah, yeah, he's great.
Yeah. Wow, that's fun but even like asking like even if you know the audience is supposed to do it they've not been
doing it but like ask i could never do it i could never ask i'm i mean i don't really get them but
uh i i'm uncomfortable if people stand and And if I could never ask.
You know what I mean?
Even if it's just for the taping.
No, not ask. Just the idea.
I couldn't do it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, for the record, I did not ask.
I know you didn't.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's the taping is like, it's just such a weird, like, you're like, well, you know,
they have no footage of anybody standing.
But truthfully, they could have just used the footage of another comedian and show you
that's what they're
probably going to do
yeah
they don't have cameras
facing the audience
that shot is always
from the back
oh
so you see the
you see the comic on stage
when you see people
stand up
yeah
so I'm going to be in there
some form of
it'd be so funny
it's footage of another comic
getting a standing ovation
they just dub you over
they have to put that in the credits.
Thanks a lot, folks.
Thanks.
The stage is blurry because they can't show it.
But it's a guy that.
You see Darren's red hair, and you're like, is that?
Has Darren ever had red hair?
He's bald.
Bald, yeah.
He is red.
He did.
Used to be.
Used to be.
Yeah.
You know Darren?
No.
That's so fun, dude.
Well, I was in Las Vegas this weekend.
I haven't seen you in a while.
I was in Chicago, Milwaukee, Iowa, and then last weekend I was in Vegas.
I want to shout out to Nancy.
Got my first massage.
Got a massage.
Felt pretty good.
Yeah.
I had a couple knots the size of golf balls on my back.
Oh, yeah.
The therapist commented on it quite a bit.
Yeah.
Said I need to start doing it regularly.
Who knows if I will, but we had a great time.
Thank you, Nancy.
Yeah.
In Las Vegas.
That's good.
She's got a company or something?
Yeah.
Guys, look up Nancy if you go to Las Vegas.
Well.
Check her out. Massage Envy is the place we got it done.
Massage envy.
Go to nancy.com.
Slash Las Vegas.
Slash Las Vegas.
Only Nancy in Vegas.
A lot of knots.
You'll find them.
Well, I went to Phoenix. I've been to Syracuse and Phoenix since the last time. But Phoenix, me and Aaron went there last year to stand up live in Phoenix. And I've always had a great time. I've been there many years. But last year, I don't know if it was people just coming out of COVID or what, but it was wild. I mean, people were out of control. All the tables in the front were drunk.
And I mean, the people's faces, like they would yell out things and then you would try
to comment to them.
And you look at their face and it's like, there's no soul in the body.
It's just a face.
And it was unbelievable and unbelievable in a bad way.
A guy looked at me and it's like, he didn't even remember
what he had just said to me. And I, I just, I had to get people kicked out of there. Uh,
but this year was great. A lot of Nateland people came and it was like a complete turnaround.
Really great. Uh, even Aaron texts me, he goes, I hope it's better for you than last year. And,
uh, it was, uh, but someone, I guess, commented on the Nat than last year and uh it was uh but someone I guess
commented on the Nateland uh podcast group uh on Facebook about uh me leaving before the meet and
greet was over but after the second show on Saturday it was chaos in there it was my busiest
show so people were coming out of the show and then there's people coming into the next show and
then there's a live band that's extremely loud and it was just chaos
and i didn't realize that i left before people were out of line but i would look at the line
the line would be empty and then i would take a picture and then now there's more people in line
and i thought people from the late show were getting into that line and i was just like i
gotta like take a minute before i start this next show yeah so sorry about that but uh yeah it was
great we had a great time yeah i think you guys the fans know where they stand with dusty and
yeah he likes some of you yeah and his limits i like it when you get into the line early
yeah now that that that area at staying up live right yeah. That area can get, just be a zoo.
Yeah.
Just because it is.
They have that bar.
And then when you have two shows and they're coming and going, it's just a hard place to,
because they put you like right out.
And that's an awesome club.
It's so great.
It's so great that there's so many people there.
Yeah.
It's a good thing.
Yeah.
And then you have like, yeah, the next door.
Yeah.
It gets hard. And it is hard too. Sometimes you think it's a good thing and then you have like yeah that next door yeah it gets hard and it is hard too sometimes you think it's like you're standing out there you're like
you don't know that people want to you might be like is it over i don't know right like you know
and you feel awkward and you're like i'm just standing here i don't want to make someone come
up to me and so it's you sometimes it's like confusing and you're like i don't want to just
go back because i'm you know it's almost pure awkwardness. And people were yelling.
One guy was like, hey, who'd you open for last year?
And it's like, well, I, you know, I headlined last year.
And it's like, so I got to yell out the correction.
Yeah.
And it's just like, it's a lot going on.
When I was there with you, Nick Novicki came down and did a guest set.
And we were out there and some drunk lady asked him if she could pick him up.
Yeah.
It was just crazy yeah what he's
saying no yeah he said no i mean no i know yeah he let it happen yeah all right now he yeah yeah
it was just uh yeah well you get that mix too you just don't know who's going in where
but i mean it is yes i kept thinking that people coming to the next show were just going ahead and getting in the picture line, which.
That happens.
And then I was like, this is going to be never ending.
Well, that's the weird part too, is you don't want to be standing out there when the next show is walking in.
Yes.
That feels very uncomfortable.
Yeah, I don't like that.
Because it's like, it's like from, what's that word?
Presumptuous.
Presumptuous.
It feels very presumptuous. Yeahuous it feels very presumptuous yeah that
you're uh you know that you're sitting there and you think that well when people want to take
pictures with me before a show i always think that's exactly what i think like well if you
don't like the show now you're just going to delete this picture yeah and i'd rather just
wait till after yeah and then if i don't see you after the show, I'll assume you took the picture with me,
but then didn't like it.
And that's why I'm not seeing you again.
You want proof of life.
Yes.
And even, I feel like it ruins the mystique, right?
To see someone before the show.
Yeah.
I want you to see me, you know,
coming out on stage for the first time after the show it
doesn't matter but before it's like you know we're trying to maintain some entertainment presence you
don't be walking yeah well that's the fun you know where you do want it to be the first time they see
you is that's the show you're right it's like a show yeah they see you in the parking lot with a
shirt on a hanger yeah walking into the club and stuff.
Yeah, I'm like peeing by my car or something out there.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Well, some of these clubs, you have to use the public bathroom.
Right, yes.
So go in there and just pee next to a guy.
Yeah, I'll go outside to keep from doing that.
I do that a lot, actually.
Yeah, yeah.
That's always –
You pee outside?
Yeah.
Yeah, to – yeah.
Yeah, I mean – i think you could there
yeah there's a lot of there's you know there's maybe some homeless in phoenix yeah well in
phoenix they give them they do give me my own bathroom yeah so that's now phoenix is
yeah awesome it's a great but it's uh yeah the other clubs like uh yeah when you have to go pee
like in you're like i'll go in a stall, and then you just,
if you hear someone come in, you just got to wait till they come in.
Yes, yes.
Because you're, no, you just, you don't want to be like, hey.
But now your sneaker game's so good, you got to stand up on the toilet.
Yeah, I take my shoes off when I go.
Yeah, because you don't want to be doing urinal talk
right before you go out and do comedy.
No, no.
I know comics that would, that don't care.
Yes. That's a level of confidence. I I know comics that would, that don't care. Yes.
That's a level of confidence.
I've had to do it,
but it's tough.
All right,
let's start with some of you guys' comments.
As always,
we appreciate you writing all this stuff in.
Chris E.,
I'm from Alabama,
and pronounce compass the same way as dusty.
Everyone I know says it this way.
Maybe it's an Alabama thing.
What was the word? Compass. Compass? I'm says it this way. Maybe it's an Alabama thing. What was the word?
Compass.
Compass?
I'm not familiar.
Compass.
Compass.
What did you say?
Compass.
Compass.
Yeah, compass.
Compass.
We just read it, you know?
We just go right through the compass.
Sounds like past tense, like you just used one.
That's always been Alabama's problem, just reading too accurately.
Yeah, exactly.
It does sound like you'd go, do you know where you're going? Yeah, I just compassed it. Yeah, exactly. It does sound like you'd go,
do you know where you're going?
Yeah, I just compassed it.
Yeah.
Here, give me the compass.
I'll do it again,
but I've already compassed today.
Already compassed.
I got it.
Compassed out.
Well, I think, you know,
there's a difference like
compress versus compress.
Those are two different things.
I don't know what compress is.
Like a hot compress.
Like, let's say you have an injury.
A knot. golf ball knot.
Go see Nancy.
Nancy.
Go see Nancy.
She would use a hot compress.
Yes.
Yeah.
She wouldn't use a compress.
Yeah.
What was that, dude?
That squishes something?
Right, yeah.
We're trying to do the opposite.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
David Disharoon.
Disharoon. I like that while trying to figure out how to pronounce the word compass correctly for comedians compared it to words like comcast but never comedy
thanks for all the laughs guys yeah it's not comedy yeah you know what i mean but for comedy
but you were the one trying to make the argument like guys it's comcast you were using other
examples comedy would have worked perfect for your argument.
Yeah, it would have.
Yeah, I mean, I missed it.
I mean, David Disharoon is correct.
Tan demand.
You can use the word had four times in a row in a sentence,
and it still makes perfect sense.
For example, what he had had had had an effect on people.
Yeah.
I love to say had had.
I like a nice had had.
What he had had done.
Yeah, yeah.
Dustin Gaddis.
I'm not here to advocate for Klingon,
but if it has a whole alphabet and people speak it,
is it really a fake language?
Who decides when a language is real or fake?
Which is spoken more today klingon or latin
it's a good point yeah i mean if you people are communicating that way that that does make it a
language i think you'd have to start your own town yeah you know and then just be like we do klingon
and then you'd be like would you come to the town you have to do it just a bunch of crazy like real
clingy people yeah i think we said it before but it is crazy. Latin was the one that everybody,
they were like, you need, you should take Latin.
People, I just remember people taking Latin,
and it's just gone.
Yeah.
It was gone even when I took it,
but as far as a dead language,
but it just died out.
Yeah.
Christina Fisher.
The deaf actually also created the football huddle.
Gallaudet University was the first all-deaf university,
and their football team realized after several games
that their opponents were learning the signs they used for the various plays.
Thus, they created the huddle to keep their next move a secret.
Wow.
There they are.
Look at that.
That makes sense.
Football players were built a little differently back then.
The deaf ones were.
There's not a lot of chest going on there for those guys.
No.
Not a lot of bench pressing going on back then, I think.
Yeah.
All leg packs.
He probably just get.
I wonder what the injuries were back then. They think. Yeah. Oh, leg packs. Man, he probably just get... I wonder what the injuries
were back then.
They always talk about
the helmets.
Like, if you just took
the face mask off a helmet.
Like, or they made them
play with no helmet
or something.
Like, it would be...
It would take care
a lot of the head injuries.
Yeah, yeah.
They got the facial expression
down to look tough.
Well, they had to stand still
for 35 minutes
to have this picture taken.
Yeah.
I mean, it might be the first picture they've ever seen.
Yeah, I don't know what's going on.
No one even knew what that was.
Like their souls got snatched right off.
Scoot.
Scoot.
Scoot Roos.
Scoot Roos.
Scoot Roos.
It's Scott.
Scott.
Scott Rouse.
I'm the guy from the behavior panel that talked about Nate being the most competent sitter I've ever seen.
I'm a body language expert and analyst, and I train law enforcement and the military in interrogation and body language.
Just a heads up, the 93% body language thing is a myth.
If you've ever played charades, you know how hard it is to communicate without using words.
That's true.
I don't understand what he's saying, but I don't.
Well, on an episode before you were here, we showed a clip from, I guess, their podcast
where he said Nate is the most confident or competent, depending on how you heard it,
sitter of anyone he's ever seen.
Wow.
What do you think that's all about?
They played footage of him on Jimmy Fallmy fallon and we're like look
how confident he is sitting he's one of the best sitters we've ever seen oh i gotta be one of the
worst sitters i would imagine i would rank pretty low on confident sitting yeah there's things i do
confidently but it's not sitting still how much have you sat down on TV? Not a lot. Yeah. I did David Spade show a couple of times.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and you sat down there.
I sat down there.
Yeah.
I think I felt pretty good there.
Yeah.
I don't know that you would say I was 93% confident.
You sit down like someone's about to ask you to leave.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I think that, yeah, that's probably where I learned it.
Yeah.
I did a sports
show in chicago last week this guy david caplan who's very cool and i sat i didn't know how to
sit because it was like a chair like this yeah so i just put a foot up over the other one like that
i thought that looked that looked all right i look casual yeah no it helped the north face jacket
helped uh i sat like that the whole time Yeah, it looks like a fan
They got robbed out of the stand
And then they just
We found Aaron
We got this guy, Aaron
He was at the Notre Dame game earlier today
Aaron, what do you
How do you feel?
He's like, I thought it was going to rain today
You know, and the rain didn't come in like I thought
And I wore this
This guy won't leave now
Yeah
Look, he's got a suit.
Oh, it's his show.
He's got a turtleneck.
What kind of things does he have in his pocket there?
He's got a lot going on.
He's got a pocket protector.
He's got pens.
You do the foot thing like I do, though.
You're tapping the foot.
Well, that's what I started.
I was watching it back, and I started to notice.
Yeah, I was just moving my foot a lot.
I didn't quite know how to sit.
I could just lean forward like he's doing.
The point is, I'm sitting next to the most confident sitter in the world. I just like some tips. Yeah. I mean,
North Face Jacket, start. Take that off. At least give yourself a chance. It looks like you're on
TV. A lot went into that, me wearing that jacket. The shirt I'm wearing is a little smaller than I
would have liked. So I had to throw something on over it yeah okay and then i also needed somewhere to put the lapel mic yeah which i couldn't do on
just the t-shirt so i asked everybody there i'm like can i just wear this and they're like yeah i
guess yeah should have read into that a little bit right into that yeah it would be it's like
you just should have a jacket i i wear hoodies and stuff uh but it's like just just bring a nice like at least like uh somewhat either
yeah i don't know like a hoodie or i mean maybe zip it up and even like and don't show zip it up
a bit more yeah you can zip this wasn't really why i wanted to show i was talking more about
the setting we didn't need to critique my whole wardrobe here i'm working with what i got you
know yeah you let them know a Wrigley field.
You'd be like, I know y'all are a town.
And you've seen you.
Here's part of my Wrigley shirt I bought.
It's a little too tight.
So you were going to wear short sleeves.
I didn't think about it as much as I probably should have.
A t-shirt and short sleeves on the show.
I mean.
Whew.
I mean, I'm just, you you know just tell them no next time
i think they'll do that for yeah no i had fun with them i thought it was a good interview i
should have thought more about what i oh i didn't watch for sure these are new things that i you
know it's true no they're things for me new challenges for me they are i do need to think about what i wear i look you're they can you probably people probably
go back and look and there's you're gonna find just nonsense that i have on but if you do do it
you gotta look decide what is a youtube if something's a podcast doesn't count yeah or if
it's like a youtube interview doesn't count but if it's a tv and this is like a big show i found a lot of people told me they
saw me on this this is like the skip bayless or yeah stephen a smith of chicago yeah and uh did
you say i thought we were going to do it in the rain you know i heard it was open air this
interview got a dome in here because i didn't realize there's going to be next time you should
wear exactly what that guy's wearing.
Just come in dressed like him? Yeah, yes.
Turtleneck, purple blazer.
Yes.
I like his look.
He's got a sharp look.
He's got a good go-to for like, you know, this is a sports show,
so it's like in your comic, so you don't need to be dressed like him.
But I think it's good because you find a plain hoodie
and a jacket to go over it. always a solid like yeah kind of comic like looks you know
it's somewhat look it looks nice it looks like if i'm gonna go buy tickets like you gotta think
someone's thinking am i gonna pay tickets for this guy and you know and then they go all right
he's funny and they look to their dad and they go well he right, he's funny,
and they look to their dad, and they go,
well, he's wearing the same stuff as that guy,
and we're on vacation, and he's working.
I say turtlenecks every interview.
Yeah.
Well, I hope David Capital will have me back.
I had a good time, and I'll be sure to dress nicer.
Yeah, David, if you hear this, David, just will have me back. I had a good time. And I'll be sure to dress nicer. Yeah.
David, if you hear this, David, just give him another chance.
It is.
Unfiltered David Kaplan.
It is.
Especially if you think that the interview, like, I don't know,
sometimes I'll get TV staff and I think, oh,
it's just going to be like a morning TV.
And then you show up and it does seem like a bigger deal.
You're like, oh, now I feel underprepared.
That's how you can wear, like, you can wear what you're wearing and just be like,
you're going to be all right.
Really, it's either like it's going to look nice or it starts becoming your character of what you're wearing.
It's either way it can go.
Right.
I just try to dress how I'm going to perform that night.
Yeah.
Look, I'm making fun of you.
There might be something that I've done.
But it is true. You learn it. You learn it. And you be something that I've done. But it is true.
You learn it.
You learn it.
And you go, all right.
Yeah.
Because you do learn.
I mean, I had an old Conan.
I had a shirt that had the tag on it of someone else's name.
It looked like one of those gas station shirts.
Oh, yeah.
I think that was kind of the style then.
Yeah.
But it was like, why would I wear a shirt with another man's name on it?
I like to wear my own hats on late night.
Yeah. My own name on there. Yeah. to wear my own hats on late night. Yeah.
My own name on there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Try to get those sales up.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, that's good.
Yeah.
You look confident though.
So you do a merch pitch when you go out.
Yeah.
They're like, welcome to Conan.
You do your-
I just, yeah, it's five minutes of merch.
Dakota, this is the Dakotas episodes.
Shay Martin, I'm from South Dakota.
I'm so excited to hear the podcast come out about my home.
The Sturgis Rally is nuts.
We all rent our homes and get out of town because the traffic is just insane.
The majority of the people that attend the rally have their bikes shipped in on semis,
and they fly in and meet their bikes for the week.
It is a unique, one-of-a-kind experience, and you should all come to check it out,
but we will not be here.
That is fun.
That kind of ruins the thing for the bikers to me.
What?
That they're shipping them in.
Yeah, I bet they get, you know, you just get older.
We could drive it from Florida.
You know, you're like, eh.
A motorcycle.
That must be tough.
Yeah, you're just,'m not sure there's people
that do it
I was just going to say
can I say how much
I think your reading
has improved
since this podcast started
thanks
you're really
nailing it these days
it's kind of less fun
but a lot of practice
are you working on it
outside of the podcast
no
no no no
I have trouble
with a lot of stuff
being born in Fargo
Larry Miller Jr. Larry Miller Jr. alright never mind I have trouble with a lot of stuff. Being born in Fargo and living in Alabama, I might as well have been born in Narnia.
When I went to Auburn for college, I had multiple people tell me they didn't think Fargo was a real place, only a movie.
I had friends that would introduce me and say, this is my buddy Larry.
He was born in
fargo i think i would do that every time yeah yeah as a person who basically grew up where he went to
college uh yeah i mean it would have been wild living in opelika meeting someone from fargo
uh you yeah you almost wouldn't be to wrap your head around yeah yeah i still my wife's from
canada i still do that i introduce her like it's my wife she's from Canada. I still do that. I introduce her.
It's my wife.
She's from Canada.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
I know.
I love it.
It's amazing.
Yeah.
You go, they let them come down here.
Sounds like you're a melder bride.
Yeah.
Got her from Canada.
Yeah.
That's what I tell my friends back home.
I had to go out of country to get this one. With your kids, how do you feel about the made in America thing?
Oh, my kid being made in America?ica no i'm saying it's part not okay it's like half america you look like a man that wants stuff made in america yeah
and you out there like you know what we went we hired over there was an oakridge boy song i liked
called uh american made where he's like my baby is is American made. It's a great song, but I can't sing it now.
Yeah.
Right?
It feels like I'm cheating on my wife singing this song.
Well, she's North American made.
Yeah.
That is true.
It's American.
Yeah.
That is true.
It's American.
She's American.
What?
No, that's right.
These lyrics are ridiculous, too.
They are ridiculous.
I just pulled them up.
All right, we don't have to read through them.
There's a lot going on in this.
To my video game, this is that song.
I liked it as a kid, all right?
Yeah, it's pretty on the nose.
I can't vouch for all the lyrics here.
I don't know what's about to go.
Yeah, you can cancel now, but it's a hot song.
Yeah, I can't vouch for the lyrics.
Yeah, I didn't know you were going to pull it off.
Look them up on your own time, ladies and gentlemen.
Yeah.
John Nerum.
As comics, my fiance and I moved to Nashville from Fargo.
After seeing Dusty and Nate live, North Dakota is a weird, fun state.
I met John.
John.
Yeah, John just got engaged to his fiance, Paula, just like a week ago.
That's cool he wrote in.
Yeah.
Great guy.
I met John, yeah.
Him and his fiance. When you were in the- Oh, he's a comic. That's cool he wrote in. Great guy. Very funny. Him and his fiance.
Oh, he's a comic.
Yeah, they're both comics. They're both really funny.
When you were in, I think it was South Dakota,
did you get a chance to ride that haunted elevator?
Probably not.
I always wanted to hear if you saw the guy
who fell down the shaft.
Yeah, we would have loved to.
We went, we did,
because we did that.
It was, I mean, it was awesome.
I tell you, I mean, we're at Fargo and then Sioux Falls.
Sioux Falls has a theater that is beautiful.
Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
And I mean, it was like, you're like, you could take the special in this theater and it would look awesome.
Yeah. Like it was just, it was like, you could tape a special in this theater and it would look awesome. Yeah. It was inside an old high school.
And inside of the high school, they put this unreal theater.
So the outside looks like an old high school.
That's really cool.
Yeah, it was super cool.
The physics episode comment.
Craig Brannon, the fact that you guys brought in an expert for the Bigfoot episode,
but not for the physics episode, says it all.
That is true.
Well, we got Aaron right here.
Yeah, that's true.
You know?
Oh, I think I let some people down, and I apologize about that.
People do have been getting mad at you about stuff in the comments about,
it's like.
I know.
I mean, you never claimed to be a physics expert.
I thought I made it pretty clear I wasn't.
Taylor Smith, the fact that this experiment wasn't tested prior to the episode
is the exact reason I love this podcast.
Yeah, I mean, I want to do it in real time.
Back in my day, Geraldo Rivera opened Al Capone's vault live on television
and it backfired on him
there was nothing in there
but
is that what got you
into journalism
yep
yep
Geraldo he's still around
he's still doing good
he's still doing stuff
he's still out there
and a lot of people said
why didn't you get
he looks good too
he looks the same
he's in tremendous shape
yeah
just like me
a lot of people question
why I didn't get
a deeper tub to do the experiment in,
which would, in retrospect, would have been better since it didn't work.
But I was trying to find a clear tub so the cameras could actually see the drinks going in.
I don't have a larger clear tub, so that's the reason.
All right.
Ian Connell. Connell. That's probably Connell. Ian Connell.
Connell.
That's probably Connell.
Ian Connell.
I like the ambition to cover the topic of physics,
but maybe they should stick to topics more of their speed,
like physical education.
Oh, that's nice.
That's nice.
Yeah, I agree.
I think that's a compliment, really.
Yeah.
Like we're all in shape, is what he's saying.
Yeah.
Thank you to Ian.
We know a lot about pe yeah caleb bell
as an engineer i was expecting this pod to be riddled with errors but there wasn't that much
to correct here's to new beginnings gentlemen well that's what i'm saying space is not real
i've always said it from the beginning uh I get into it.
Before we get started in just this episode,
I did go, one of the places I went this weekend in Rockford,
it was in Roscoe, Illinois, right by Rockford.
Rockford, by the way, I went out and I said,
like, here to be in Rockland.
I called it Rockland.
And I've never done that.
But it was because, and i told him to
like i was like oh my gosh but i i was like i was opening with a a joke about something i did that

so much he i'm gonna post something on instagram about it just because we were very surprised by
this it's pretty wild it's pretty like you know just when you go see i mean it was like they did have a lot

mean it was we had a lot of it was so interesting and ask for tony if you go you should go to it
not a lot of people know about this people in that town don't know about this and it's uh
Not a lot of people know about this.
People in that town don't know about this.
And it's huge.
We could have spent, especially with Tony.
Tony was saying he would do tours.
So you can set up a tour. You can ask Tony or ask a tour for Tony.
And they're just trying to get more people to come.
And he was just a wonderful man man he was like 74 he's been
married him his wife been together 53 years and uh he has a sanford sun truck he's tony's not the
owner he's the one that like he just volunteers but they have it they have it yep oh man yeah
i'm all about some stuff oh yeah yeah they had uh yeah i'd skip stalin yeah hitler and go right to
that i think they did i don't know they could have not had that Stalin and Hitler and go right to that. I think they did.
I don't know.
They could have not had that.
I don't remember seeing that, but I also could have missed some stuff.
I mean, you end up – no, you just can't.
When he's talking about Hitler and what they – it's like just having that.
You're there a lot.
You're like, this is wild, dude.
It's almost weird because it's one of those those, all right, should you have that?
Do you want that?
But he talked about it.
They have it behind glass.
It's very weird and creepy.
They talked about it being creepy.
He's like, it's, you know.
But it's, I don't know.
Did Hitler drive himself?
No, no.
And so what's interesting with his car was, so his plan was, and I just know this because
I learned it this weekend.
I'm actually watching a movie on it.
I might do this as, I'm going to see if I'm going to do this as a joke, so I don't know,
but I'll say it here.
But part of it was, I actually might try to do this as a joke, but I'll just say it.
But I was like, he keeps going.
He was like, Tony would know the file numbers of stuff.
He's like, what's in the archives of file numbers 7, 4, 5, 6, 8, like that.
I'm like, Tony, I don't even know if I know what World War II was about.
So you could, we, like, we're, you know, I'm like, it's good on the file.
We're good on file numbers i was like
i'm learning everything from you right now uh i don't remember school tony and so it was yeah it
was just so interesting uh so crazy that's cool and where's this oh rocks roscoe yeah it's near
rockford a conway twitty car that you passed by there? Yeah. They have race cars.
They had Bigfoot, like a Bigfoot truck.
Oh, yeah.
I remember Bigfoot.
I mean, so just getting to stand up close to that.
Monster trucks.
That was the thing, man.
Those tires, they're 10, 12 feet.
It's like a regular truck on the top, it looks like.
Which we thought it's funny if you sold that and you're, you know,
and it's like, you're like, it's a regular truck.
The cabin is regular.
And, you know, it's like, oh, it's like how the wheels,
you know, the wheels are there.
Yeah.
The wheels are there.
Good size tires on it.
Good size tires on it.
I was parking it.
I'll be either easy or hard.
It could be either one.
Yeah, if you want to run over some cars, easy.
Extremely easy.
But if you're more self-conscious about that kind of stuff,
it's going to be difficult.
Yeah.
You got to park far out.
How's your insurance?
Yeah.
Insurance, liability only, to be honest.
You don't need anything else,
but get the most of the liability you can possibly get.
You're going to need all of that.
Yeah, it was a neat, very neat surprise yeah uh all right
this week this week for halloween we're talking about horror movies and spooky stories so almost
anything you google what's the best this what's the best that you're gonna get varied answers but
when i look up what's the best horror movie of all time, almost every list had the same answer.
You want to guess?
Halloween?
No.
Wait.
Shining.
Shining's on up there for sure.
Scary movie too.
The Exorcist.
The Exorcist.
Yeah.
I think it won an Academy Award.
It took it to another level as far as not just scary, but well-made and stuff like that.
So most polls show The Exorcist is the best haunted movie of all time.
But then there's scientists like to get involved.
They always do.
So there's a Science of Scare project
Where they looked at
What are the best
I should have done it
Harvard
Yeah
The best scary movies
And they hook up
Heart monitors
To people
And they track their heart rate
This should be done
At like MTSU
I hope it was
Because then you would
Just be like
Okay
My alma mater
Yeah like it would be
Like just a regular
You know like Eastern Michigan.
You're like, okay.
All right.
Like good.
You're like, and make it, you know, that's what they should do.
These other colleges, if you don't want to compete with Harvard, just go, we do fun things.
Yeah.
This is Princeton.
And we, exactly.
I'm just kidding.
Oh.
Yeah, we do fun science projects.
We do fun science.
Yeah.
And we're not charging you a trillion dollars to come here.
You may never be able to use the degree.
No, no.
But we know what it is.
Yeah.
Welcome to Northern Illinois, where we figure out, you know, where do goosebumps come from?
Right.
And you go, well, I want to know where goosebumps come from.
These should do it.
Jacksonville State
here, we
love
figuring out how
big are ears?
And why?
Are your ears too big?
Too small? You're listing all the schools that
MTSU plays and that Vanderbilt
maybe gets a win against.
Northern Illinois.
Chattanooga.
Tech. Yeah, is it
UTC? Yeah.
Yeah, the Moccasins, that's right.
Yeah, it's like they should
do it like that.
You know. Yeah.
Well, they hooked up
part monitors and
they said prevent audience fatigue.
They didn't do like screening after screening after screening because they didn't feel like that'd be fair.
You'd be tired after multiple movies, so they spread it out.
But this is their list of the scariest movies out there.
Some of these I've heard of, some I haven't.
I have not heard of the number one scariest movie of all time, Host.
I've never heard of that.
The Conjuring, I know.
Heredity.
Yeah, you just blew it.
What's Host?
I don't know.
It's about, it's an Airbnb.
I read the description.
Now I forgot.
I've been in some scary ones, you know?
Yeah, I'd like to know what Host is.
Maybe it's a bad restaurant.
They tell you that the table's ready, but it isn't.
I don't know.
It's a 2020 British computer screen supernatural horror film directed by Rob Savage.
It takes place on Zoom.
Okay.
Wow.
Interesting.
Oh, wow.
I've seen a couple movies like that.
They're really well done.
Unfriended was one I saw.
It's pretty good.
It's jump scares.
Always a scary experience.
Getting unfriended.
Because you're not live.
Yeah, that could be interesting to watch.
It's the number one scariest movie of all time,
based on a bunch of different factors.
Right.
They're based on your average heart rate and then what it peaks on and stuff like that.
It's really interesting.
Yeah, there's a lot of jump scares.
Does this account for the existential dread afterwards?
The thinking about it that night, you know?
Yeah.
I started watching The Descent.
I was trying to watch it this weekend.
Number 13 scariest movie of all time.
And I kind of had to stop. I was watching it, and I was like, I don't know if I'm going to watch it this weekend. Number 13 scariest movie of all time. Yeah, and I kind of had to stop.
I was watching it, and I was like, I don't know if I'm going to –
they're in a cave.
It's like tight spaces.
And I'm not even deep into it.
And you're kind of like –
You get claustrophobic watching it?
I don't know if I want to open something.
I don't watch movies like that at all.
I lay in a bunk.
No.
You're just in a bunk laying there watching it.
I don't get claustrophobic on the bus, but you're already just...
Yeah, cave stuff is scary when you see people.
Even National Geographic, they're just exploring little caves,
and it gets real tight.
I'm like, I don't like that.
My foot gets stuck in there, and then I can't get out.
Like if you try to put on a shirt and you can't find the head hole,
I can freak out pretty quick on that.
You know what I mean?
You go with no shirt?
Yeah, you know, you're putting on the shirt and it's like,
oh, you start a little panic ensues.
I'm like, I don't like that.
I used to have a sleeping bag that you could zip up and it was just a face hole
but I would put my head outside of it
and I would sleep like that. I got stuck
in it one night. Freaked me out.
Couldn't get the zipper down.
Yeah, I don't like it.
I'm not into it. I don't need extra
fear. You got enough
on your own? Life's scary enough out here.
Right, right. Yeah, that's true.
Thank you.
I'm getting a little coffee.
So do you apply that to other things outside of movies?
You don't like roller coasters or anything like that?
Well, I think that's exciting.
Like you're having a good time.
But people can draw the same stuff out of movies and things like that.
Well, movies I like.
Okay.
But not horror movies.
But not putting on shirts.
Yeah, horror movies.
Well, that's what he's saying, though.
Yeah.
Horror movies can bring out excitement.
You get the same kind of excitement from a scary movie that you would a roller coaster.
Yeah, but it is that dread that you're talking about, that you walk around,
and now you're like, oh, I didn't know that people could stab through the walls and stab me.
You know what I mean?
I didn't realize that.
Now I do.
Right.
You know?
There's a movie out now called Terrifier 2,
and it's a low-budget slasher movie.
It says people are fainting and vomiting at the screenings.
They've had to have people on medical personnel there because of the graphic violence and brutal depictions of horror.
See, that sounds fun.
Yeah, it sounds like a good job.
Could you watch that?
We could watch it.
No, could you?
Oh, I could, yeah.
I like scary movies a lot. The gore, could you? Oh, I could, yeah. I'm into,
I like scary movies.
But that,
like the gore is what I don't think
I could do.
Put a little popcorn
in your hoodie,
go watch a thing like that.
Yeah, like what,
I mean,
it's got to be
just nonstop.
I mean,
they did good
where they make you
want to go see it,
but then it's got
to be just,
oh.
Well, now that I hear people are vomiting and fainting, now it's like an experience. Now I got to go watch it, but then it's got to be just, oh. Well, now that I hear people are vomiting and fainting,
now it's like an experience.
Now I got to go watch it.
It's a challenge.
I got to go see.
Yeah, exactly.
See if I can handle it.
Will you go watch it and tell us?
Yeah, I'll let you know.
Yeah.
I'll watch it tonight.
Is it on?
It's at a movie theater.
Will you pray the demons away, though, before you come back?
I'll say, yeah.
I mean, I'll say a prayer before and after.
Okay, yeah.
I'm not going to bring them into the studio. Yeah, yeah yeah we did ghost hunting this weekend oh yeah i mean just the
theater in rockford they said was haunted and uh just had like one of those recorders that you ask
uh you know how long did you live here yeah wasn't answering anything no yeah yeah but it was weird where you're like
i mean i love ghost hunting shows like i love i love watching them do that stuff
and then when you're doing it you're like am i supposed to be doing this uh yeah you know
angela johnson i hope you remind me tell me she had a podcast about ghost hunting and then she
said she heard a voice come through on her headphones saying angela and
she stopped doing it oh really she's like they're getting too close to me flew too close to the sun
yeah i mean we're yeah we're not supposed to be contacting the dead yeah i did a show uh last
weekend in davenport iowa at the renwick mansion which is a haunted mansion they say and the guy
running the show chris he's told me they've had multiple incidents
during shows of strange things happening like a comic will put his water bottle on the stool
and then the cap will just fly off from the stool like somebody flicked it with their fingers
into the audience they have film of this like odd things will just happen all over the place there
yeah i find that hard belief yeah i think if there was film of it it would be the most
amazing famous video of all time it would be the most amazing,
famous video of all time.
It's very funny you being
the skeptic dressed like
you're still with that hat.
I actually find that
hard to believe.
The Dusty's coming through.
Why would they?
Yeah, they should show the video.
Can you look it up?
I asked.
I said, can you show me the video?
They're like, well, we'll find it.
It's tucked away.
They've got it somewhere.
We never added it.
All these guys wouldn't lie to me. It's on my somewhere. We never edit it. Oh, these guys wouldn't lie to me.
It's on my phone.
They're nice guys.
It would, yeah.
Yeah, I don't know if I like the recorder thing.
Like, it was like doing that.
I like going in if it's creepy and you're like, oh, wow,
like kind of just filling it out and stuff.
But, yeah, once we were doing that, we did it.
And it was funny because we were just being kind of funny.
Yeah.
But then you're also like i
don't know if i can yeah be asking these questions you know yeah it feels weird you're bringing it to
yourself much different yeah so they did a uh we talked about on the dakota episode the mount
rushmore's everything mount rushmore of horror characters and there's three that was kind of
across the board the The fourth one,
people had varying opinions on who should be the fourth
character on the Bramant Rushmore.
Candyman.
Well, I mean... Is that one?
That's not one of the three. Probably.
Not like the fourth. Well, it could be.
That was one of the ones suggested.
Probably Jason.
Freddy.
Mike Myers.
And then the girl from The Ring. That was one that Freddie. Yeah. Mike Myers. Mike Myers. Yep. And then the girl from The Ring.
That was one that suggested.
I put her up there.
Candyman was one.
I'd never seen Candyman,
but I feel like Candyman's one
that people always talk about.
Ghostface was one that screamed.
From Wu-Tang Clan?
I don't know.
That is interesting
because I don't know
what the other one would be.
Like there's,
then it kind of,
what's another like franchise one
that's like, because it's like
those were just so around the scream in the scream mask that's one i think of that's like an iconic
image yeah yeah but not like a singular character i don't know and then they branched out a little
bit like what we like the alien from the movie alien which i don't really think of is a horror
movie but it's a scary movie what about the character in Scary Movie 2 with the little hand?
That was always a pretty...
I haven't seen those movies.
I forget his name, though.
He's a pretty...
Scary Movie 2 was a good scary movie spoof movie.
Yeah.
It's Chris Elliott.
Chris Elliott, yeah.
With the little hands.
Yeah, I think I watched the first one and maybe the second one,
and I remember them being like, they're very good.
Two is really good.
They're so well done.
I put him as my number four.
Yeah.
From Scary Movie 2.
You ever seen that movie The Family Man with Nick Cage?
No.
It's not really a horror movie.
It's like a rom-com.
But if you think about what's actually happening in the movie, it's terrifying.
What's happening?
Nick Cage plays a businessman who leaves his girlfriend to pursue a career. And then years later, he's successful. He's rich. And then one night,
he just wakes up in an alternate reality where he's back with this girl he left,
and he's got a family and a blue collar job, and he hates it. He wants to go back to his rich life,
but eventually he grows to love these kids. He loves his wife. He wants to stay in this life,
this new life that he'd abandoned. And then the movie ends, he's back to his these kids. He loves his wife. He wants to stay in this life, this new life that he'd abandoned.
And then the movie ends,
he's back to his original self.
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
You wrapped it up
and ruined it for everybody.
Well, it's a pretty old movie.
It's going to watch
Shawshank Redemption.
But I mean, the last little...
The last sentence
did not need to be said.
But that's what's scary about it
is that now he's back in his original life
mourning his children that never really existed.
And it just kind of ends.
Is Ian sad like that?
Well, it doesn't really – it's not trying to be sad,
but if you think about what actually happened.
He's sad.
He loves this life, and now that life is gone.
Then he opens his bank account, and he goes, oh, all right.
We're back, baby.
We're back.
Well, that's the whole point of the movie. We're having a good time. That's the whole point of the movie is he loves his family account and he goes, oh, all right. We're back, baby. We're back. Well, that's the whole point of the movie.
We're having a good time.
That's the whole point of the movie is he loves his family more than those things.
Yeah.
You know?
And they're gone.
So that's the family, man.
Give it a watch.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah, go watch it.
Start at the end and go backwards.
Yeah.
So in the movie Scream, the guy who voices
Ghostface, they never let the
actors meet him because
Wes Craven, the director, thought it'd be scarier
if you really don't even know who
this voice is.
They never even heard his voice
until they did the actual scenes,
which is pretty smart, I think.
Drew Barrymore
was supposed to play Nev Campbell's lead role. Did you know this? I think I did. Yeah. Drew Barrymore was supposed to play Neve Campbell's lead role.
Did you know this?
I think I did.
Yeah, and then the last minute she backed out.
I think she had other things, but she's like,
put me in it just at the beginning and still tease me that I'm in it.
What happened to Neve Campbell?
She had a really good moment in time.
She still does.
I mean, she's doing the screen things.
I think she's probably got a lovely life
of like
she pops up
on these screen movies
and
does a great job
as the role of them
and
you know
made a ton of money
living it up
Canadian
wow
didn't see that coming
Dusty's type
yeah
from Guelph
Guelph, Ontario I've been through guelph i don't
know if that's how you say it but i've been through there uh yeah she how old is she she is
uh a boy doesn't have her age yeah no one knows interesting uh yeah she uh uh i knew that because it was interesting about scream was that they opened
like drew barrymore at that time was the most famous like actress and then it was like that's
how good of a movie it was that's why i like it's like i feel like they just did stuff that was like
no one did that to kill off somebody as famous as her yeah right
away right away and just be like she's on the post i mean they used her for the posters and for
everything where you think all right well she's got to be having a big part in this movie and
then just to be like it's just that one scene that's an i mean it's um yeahream was pretty fun. I like a slasher more than I like an exorcist-type movie.
I don't want to be getting into the...
If it's just murder, it's different than...
You don't want a psychological thing.
I don't need the spiritual realm involved.
You know what I mean?
What about these Jordan Peele movies?
I saw the first one that he did.
Get Out?
Yeah, Get Out.
Well, I don't watch
any new
kind of horror movies
because I feel like
they're all like
demonic now
and I'm not
and I don't know
maybe his is not
but I feel like
yeah I don't think his was
his aren't
no
but definitely
there are some
I just saw the movie Smile
it was kind of demonic
yeah
yeah
I think they're
I get worried that they're too
gory now like it's just getting like you're like all right i and so that scares me off from
most of them and if you but if one comes along i watch the cabin in the woods that's a good one
that's a good one drew goddard the director he wrote and directed my pilot he uh he wrote that
movie really man that's a really good movie.
It's like a parody of scary movies kind of.
Yeah.
And it's like, that has gore in it.
But it's like just, it's got to be done really where it's...
Tastefully.
Yeah.
It can't just be...
You know, they're doing stuff now.
You're like, you know, like even that Terrifier 2, like if it's like,
you're like, so you're just showing someone get cut open
and you're like staying on it and like looking at you.
You know, there's a point you're like, all right, I just don't,
that's not my thing, you know.
That's why like old gore is fun because it's like they're really like
not great at it.
Very fake.
Yeah.
So it looks fake enough where it doesn't bother you.
Yeah.
Yeah, and you had just the fear of who's about to come around the door.
That's what's about to happen.
That's the scare.
I don't want to be grossed out.
It doesn't feel scary to me if it's like I'm gross.
If you're grossed out, you're kind of like, well, now I'm just grossed out.
Yeah.
But it's like all these movies, it's like, you know, you watch Jason and then you're like afraid to go camping.
And you watch Freddy Krueger and now you're afraid to go to sleep.
And I'm like, I don't need to be carrying that around.
Yeah.
But that's the fear that I would say I like.
Like it's like that where you go camping and you think, oh, you know.
Yeah. See, I want to just be like, oh, the stars and
we're having a good time out here.
I love the feel of the grass.
So, if you don't like that,
what horror movies do you like?
I don't really like any of them. Scary Movie 2.
Scary Movie 2 is really a lot
of fun. You know, I remember watching
Scream. I watched The Grudge and
Saw in one night in the
early 2000s and i was like all right i'm done yeah i'm done with these now two pretty gory movies
yeah we we you know we also stole the second movie basically we went to one and then we theater hop
to the next one so so you know i was you know committing a Yeah. And that probably added to it.
Yeah, that's tough.
That always was the most fun thing to do, though,
if you could sneak in and go do two movies.
Yeah, I don't do scary movies.
I saw Halloween for the first time in a drive-in theater in the dark. That was one of the best things we ever did.
Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
On the road.
Yeah, Louisville.
I saw Louisville, Kentucky.
They did it where we – it was awesome lot of fun on the road like uh yeah louisville right outside louisville kentucky uh they did it where we it was awesome like just we played it that was pretty intense because you just had a building next to you like a it was like a power plant or something you just hear
something in the woods and we're just middle of nowhere well there was a an insane asylum oh next
door right oh yeah so we were talking about that all night.
I thought it was a power plant.
Maybe they lied to me.
They told me there was some kind of institution
there. And there were some lights
at one time off in the distance, I feel like.
I'm like, oh, did somebody get out? Yeah, and we're just
sitting alone in a drive-in
theater on chairs watching
Halloween. I went to the bus, but then
couldn't remember the code, so now I'm just stuck in the dark.
And I ran back to the guys.
Yeah, it was pretty fun.
See, now, if you weren't watching Halloween at the movie theater,
not remembering the code, not a big deal.
But you've just watched a slasher film.
And now you're like, now you're freaking out.
Just like those movies?
I think that's what you like.
That's what's fun.
That's the fun of it.
But you don't get scared of the dark at all?
No, I do.
Okay.
So what are we doing here?
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Probably because of things I've watched.
Now it's added.
So like if you wouldn't have watched.
I think people are just scared of the dark.
You're scared of what you can't see.
Exactly.
The dark is scary.
People always act like you shouldn't be afraid of it.
And I'm like, nah.
Yeah, it's the dark. It is scary. People always act like you shouldn't be afraid of it. And I'm like, nah. Yeah.
It's the dark.
It's scary.
Any scary movie, it becomes less scary to me once you actually see the thing.
Yeah.
Right?
It's the not seeing it.
It's a shadow moving by.
That's the scariest.
Yeah.
And then you finally see it and you're like, oh, it's a little disappointing.
Yeah.
That's why Jaws was so.
Yeah, because you never saw it till the end, right?
Yeah.
Okay. It's the buildup. So it's okay to spoil Jaws was so... Yeah, because you never saw it until the end, right? Yeah. Okay.
It's the buildup.
So it's okay to spoil Jaws, but not Family Man?
Jaws is...
It's 1975.
Yeah, Jaws is...
I mean, Family Man was 1995.
Yeah, but Family Man would be a movie people would have missed.
Jaws is like one that no one's probably missed.
Okay.
And I just think with the family thing,
I just think you could have said,
it gets an alternative universe,
and you said the other thing,
and then you just, at the end, you're like,
and the color's blue.
And you're like, well, I don't know if you need to say the end.
But no, that's good.
What about the-
I would ruin Jaws 2.
I bet a lot of people haven't seen that.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, a couple of sharks probably.
Yeah.
Did you, what about the Rob Zombie version of Halloween?
It was the first one he redid.
Apparently 2 was terrible, but I saw the first one.
I have a story about that.
Okay.
We were supposed to go see it.
We were in New York, and it was like me, Louis, Big jay uh soda like there's a you know a bunch of us
and so uh we're like jay was like rob zombie was it was the first like screening of it and so uh
rob zombie was in like a diner nearby they're eating or something and jay kind of knew him or
something and so jay
tells he's like go get in line and like to get the tickets and i was like all right so i'm in line
i'm waiting they go do whatever they come back and uh i'm just standing there like all right
like how's it you know you got the tickets i was like i'm waiting for them and i was in the line
with people that already have tickets so we didn't get a go i mean it was the most excited jay was to
go see this movie wow you ruined it and i ruined it and jay still has my favorite joke uh uh where
i might have said on this uh when he goes uh he goes did you see the hills have eyes
and i was like no he goes well i wish the hill had hands and they give me
my money back and i i think that he i don't even did it on stage it was just a joke like
and then and then this is what i love about comedy and it's almost this shows you what a
comic's brain goes through he said that i go you didn't like it he goes no i loved it
but it's just about the joke is too good. He has no emotion.
He loves that movie.
And it almost like I learned something about comedy when he said that.
Because you just learn that like, oh, you're not attached to.
Yeah.
You're like, yeah, I'm just like.
It's just funny.
I was just funny.
I was like, I just said the funniest thing.
Well, that's what I say is it's like I seem like I complain about stuff all the time,
but I'm not really complaining.
I'm just, that's my way of joking about stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like if I go home and I visit my parents and I make fun of the restaurant, they're like, oh, you think you're too good for this place now, huh?
And I'm like, no, I would have always made fun of this place.
Yeah.
It's got nothing to do with the place.
No, yeah.
You're like, I still come here.
Yeah.
I love this.
Yeah.
I love this food.
Yeah, yeah.
That's how you can't make fun of stuff that you're actually currently doing.
Yeah.
Like they, yeah, that you go eat.
I still go eat.
You know, even though I'm eating better, I still, I mean, I'm still figure out how to get McDonald's.
Yeah.
And I will always figure out how to get McDonald's.
I drink enough diet sodas.
I'm not going to stop.
I love it.
That's another joke I had something about. I got to remember that. I'm not gonna stop i love it that's another joke i had something about i gotta
remember that i'm not gonna say that but uh but it's it's uh i love your passion for it
because it's like the way people talk about their children i'm never gonna stop i'm always gonna
love it yeah it's like you're it's you just you find i like gummy bears and all this people give
them to me after shows and they're always like i, I know you're unhealthy. Don't worry. I'll find a time.
I'm not going to let this leave my life.
I'm just like, I'm not – you know, I was eating an entire bag every night
and then ice cream, and then, like, it was wild.
I see old pictures, too.
Like, now it gets worse and worse.
You're like, golly.
Oh, yeah.
I know exactly what you mean. Yeah.
I mean, I used to drink and I used to like, think about how I would be drinking my whole life. I've
not drank in 10 years, but I'm like, I remember I was waiting tables and a guy told me he just
became a diabetic and he's not able to drink anymore. And it made me sad that he couldn't
drink anymore. Not that he was diabetic or that he couldn't drink
anymore and i like i thought about myself being like what would it be like if i couldn't drink
anymore like my whole life was planned around drinking yeah yeah yeah yeah that's the that and
that's the hardest part to kick and that goes with food too and uh yeah food was i probably had more
i probably had a big problem with food,
more than I realized.
But it was like eating, that's the hardest part.
Food and, your life shouldn't be around one thing, and it's hard.
You realize that.
Like, it shouldn't be dictated by whatever, you know, either the bad thing,
because it's like, you're just like addicted.
Like you're like, well, I have to have like,
I can go eat McDonald's right now.
Yeah.
I don't think I'll ever get where you like,
because you know, a lot of people would go like,
I couldn't eat McDonald's anymore.
Like I can eat it every second of every day.
I've not eaten McDonald's.
I couldn't even tell you the last time I had McDonald's.
I like a morning time hash brown for McDonald's.
Why do you just don't like McDonald's?
We've got Chick-fil-A on the road before. Chick-fil-A I like.
Chick-fil-A, Hardee's, you can tolerate?
I will do Hardee's breakfast.
I like an egg and cheese.
What's your fast food?
I like Chick-fil-A, egg and cheese, Hardee's.
You don't eat fast food lunch?
I try to not do it, no.
Just to be healthy?
Yeah, I mean, I'll do a Moe's.
Yeah.
I like a Moe's.
Welcome to Moe's.
Yeah, welcome to Moe's.
I like that.
So you're not a big fast food guy?
No.
You would think you would.
You're a big chain guy?
You know, it's like, no.
But I will do stupid things like go to the truck stop and be like,
oh, you got a chicken sandwich back there?
Yeah, I'll have one of those.
Yeah, yeah.
Those are great.
We go to Love's or something. You're're like yeah it's a pretty good yeah where did we
we went somewhere and had uh man maybe it was in it was a chicken sandwich
golly it was somewhere and they were like you have to have this chicken sandwich. Oh, Abigail. We went over where our bus is here in Nashville.
We're night train.
The bus is.
There's a gas station.
I forget where you get off.
But there's a gas station.
They have something.
I think it's a gas station.
They have these chicken sandwiches in there.
And they're unbelievable.
Yeah, I mean, the gas station by your house
up where my exit I get off of,
it's like, it's loaded with stuff.
Fried chicken, hamburgers.
I mean, I was like really tempted in there.
I like that stuff too.
Yeah.
I like gas.
I mean, you just wish you could eat it.
I know.
You just, that's the brutal part.
You just look at it and go, God.
But that's the hard part is you know you could. You could. You could. You could. You just got to know that's the brutal part. You just look at it and go, God. But that's the hard part is you know you could.
You could.
You could.
You could.
You just got to know that you don't know what your good feels like.
That's what I've learned.
I had a Love's hot dog, all beef.
I burped it up for three days.
I would not digest.
Yeah.
Worth it?
That day it was worth it.
But I was like, I kind of wish I had not eaten it.
That's the trick with everything.
You got to think about the other days and not eaten. That's the trick with everything.
You got to think about the other days and not in the moment, but it's hard.
Yeah.
So psychologists have looked at why we like horror movies,
and they say that it raises, it's called excitation transfer theory.
It raises arousal and excitement and fear, builds up tension.
And then once it's over,
there's a euphoric relief.
Like, ah, I did it.
I survived.
I made it.
So the release, they say,
is why people enjoy horror movies.
That feeling.
That's why people come
to my comedy shows.
Ah, it's over.
I made it.
I think if you would have asked me why people like it i
would have said what you said without using those big words yeah so i'm glad i went to a science lab
i'm glad i made it all the way up there and they go let's study it why do people like this
and they go i don't know you think it's because it's exciting intense and then when you're done
you're like whoa that was crazy yeah i think this is probably the beginning stages of learning how to control people with fear.
That's what those scientists are doing.
Like when you're in your internship, you're studying horror movies.
Yeah.
And then you graduate.
Yeah.
They're pretty high up there now.
Yeah.
Yes, they are.
Well, they've done clinical studies that say that horror movies can actually be therapeutic
for people with anxiety or trauma.
Recent studies show that people who are distressed about COVID-19 were less distressed about movies and felt more prepared for apocalyptic world that we may be living in.
How many studies, man?
I know.
There's just so many studies.
You tired of being scared of this
let's get you scared of something else yeah yeah that's like the pain you feel like you're like
you just want to feel the pain focused everybody is a joke that i saw there's a joke uh dove david
off as a joke called the love drug and it's on youtube it's uh and i believe it's beeped. It's not clean.
So saying that, but I mean, one of the best jokes I've ever heard.
About love being a drug?
Yeah.
Okay, I've heard that joke.
Yeah.
It's a great bit.
I honestly think, I mean, it was one of the best ones I've ever heard.
Everything about it was just so good. It's all many about it was like, just so good.
So how many of you can do it?
But I think it's beeped.
You know,
if you're an adult,
you watch it first
if you want to.
There's a lot of horror.
Or it's like major pain,
you know,
where he's like,
you want to show a little trick?
Take your mind off that pain?
And then he snaps his finger.
You remember that?
Yeah, yeah.
There's an episode of House
where the doctor,
House,
can't, his brain is hurting so bad that he can't perform surgery.
So he takes a hammer and just breaks his hand.
Wow.
So that his body would focus on the hand so he could perform the surgery.
Wow.
Maybe do another bodyguard.
Yeah.
Your foot, maybe.
Yeah.
Well, I think he just had to direct it.
Yeah.
Why would they, yeah, or just get another surgeon in there?
He's the only one that could do it.
He's the best in the world.
That's the whole point of the show.
Well, he's not doing that good if he can't even.
He's a pill addict.
He's got a lot going on.
There we go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Classic.
That's how it starts.
Yeah.
That's how I got off the meds.
Yeah.
He's the best in the world.
That's like, he's a little loose.
He's half in, half out.
But he's still, you still want him. And he just best in the world. That's like, he's a little loose. He's half in, half out, but he's still,
you still want him.
And he just walks into a door.
Like,
Oh,
he does do that.
Yeah.
There's a lot of horror movies that were based somewhat off of real stuff.
A couple of surprise me here.
Child's play with,
uh,
Chucky with Chucky.
That's based off a story about a guy who claimed that one of his family servants placed a voodoo curse on his childhood toy, Robert the doll. And the doll would
mysteriously move from room to room, knock furniture over, and conduct conversations with
this guy. Then he left it in the attic. And then when he died in 1974, the new owners moved in,
and they also claimed mysterious activities would happen connected to the doll.
Now the doll is on display at the Custom House, an old post office in Key West, Florida.
Wow.
That's wild.
Sounds like the servant was messing with him.
I heard some story about people bought a dollhouse from a, you know, I don't know,
a thrift store or whatever.
And it was like the dollhouse was like furniture would move itself around
inside and they thought that the dollhouse was haunted.
So they took it out and they burned it.
And then a couple of days later, their house burned down.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
That's interesting.
Yeah, I don't.
That's better than what I just read.
That's the thing.
It's like everybody talks, like it is, you know, you talk about ghosts and people. Yeah, I don't. That's better than what I just read. That's the thing. It's like, that's what, like, everybody talks, like, it is, you know, you talk about ghosts
and people are like, they don't, you know, it's like, I don't believe in it.
It's funny.
There is so much stuff that you're like, God, that's weird.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you're like, maybe it's not true.
Maybe you got exaggerated.
Maybe you got blah, blah, blah.
And it could all end up being that kind of thing.
Maybe the fire from the dollhouse got out of control.
Burned their house down.
Yeah.
They go, when did it burn down?
They go, while that one was burning.
Yeah.
We had a lot of straw.
Yeah, why didn't you tell us that?
Yeah, move it away a little bit.
This one, Nightmare on Elm Street, based on the true story.
So there were some immigrants from Asia that reportedly died during their nightmares.
And the deaths were never explained, even after they did an autopsy.
It was reported that one of the men
did everything he could to stay awake.
It ended up being six or seven days,
despite his family's insistence
that he needed to sleep.
But then he kept staying awake. He finally fell
asleep, and his family was awakened
to the sound of his screaming. When they got to him,
he was already dead.
Wow.
Freaky.
Did they say how he died?
They did autopsy. They couldn't explain
the cause of death. I don't know.
That's terrifying.
So think about that dusty gut when you go to sleep.
Well, it's like if I gotta just stay awake,
I might as well just die.
You know what I mean?
Like if I gotta stay awake
for the rest of my life just go ahead
well you would die yeah would you uh then just like i'm gonna climb mount everest
oh maybe so yeah like what if you do like it's like if that kind of thing what if they were like
all right well you know what i'm gonna do instead of uh i'm not gonna go sleep in my room i'm gonna
go climb a mountain with a large group of people. Because it's like, you know, you have to sleep outside.
Like, wouldn't that help?
It's like maybe the bedroom.
Like sleeping shifts.
Well, the bedroom is like maybe the thing that's,
if you have these night terrors, you're like,
well, what if I go sleep outside?
Oh, yeah.
And then you're on the ground.
And it's like maybe.
But he'll still get you in your dreams.
I know, but like it's, but if you go climb Mount Everest,
you're just like.
Sorry. You're cold.
Maybe that guy should have said a prayer.
That's a good one. I don't know.
Yeah, he didn't say.
He may have.
Here's a few spooky stories that are real.
Since 2007, feet have been washing up on shore in Canada and Pacific Northwest Pacific Northwest of the United States with feet and
shoes, no body.
There's been like 23 of them that have washed up.
So they're speculating what's going on here.
And some people think it came from the tsunami, the really bad one that happened in Asia,
because all the shoes were manufactured before 2004.
because all the shoes were manufactured before 2004.
Some people think maybe people jumped to their death.
It's feet in the shoes.
Yeah, and they wash up on shore.
And they've been gradually happening for years now.
The latest one I read says that they think now it was people who committed suicide,
jumped off a bridge or something like that, and then fish or whatever eat them.
The shoes nowadays are made, are much more durable than shoes of the past,
and they don't decompose.
Is that the correct word?
So therefore, that's why you're now finding it.
In the past, the shoes would decompose and the fish would eat the feet or whatever.
Wow.
But that's just one theory.
That seems like it makes sense.
You think this could be a little bit of a new story, probably bigger than just you reading it?
Yeah.
How's not anybody like, let's talk about this for a little bit.
Well, there are stories out there, and it's gone over 15, 20 years.
Yeah, it's a, I mean, there are stories out there and it's gone over 15, 20 years.
Yeah, it's a long story. When it says severed though, are they like cut or can they not tell how they were detached?
It looks like, well, if a fish probably ate them over time.
So the fish were eating the bodies and just not able to get into the shoe?
We always think, what about an airplane?
That was thrown out too.
Even that Malaysian flight, but it happened, I think, before that.
Yeah.
Oh.
But yeah, it could be an airplane crash or something.
Yeah, that would make sense.
I feel like it's solved.
I believe all that.
You think it's all of it?
We did it.
Yeah, I think it makes the most sense.
Like if the shoes are not, yeah, eventually it would just be.
Can you do DNA on the thing to find out who the people were?
That's what they've been doing.
They've matched a bunch of them.
They found a pair in 2011 that was from a woman that went missing in 1987.
So it took years and years and years for that to wash up.
Yeah, well, there you go.
But she went missing, but they don't know if she was dead.
Well, now they have a pretty good idea.
Yeah, well, she's out there with no feet.
Or she's shorter.
But maybe, no, I mean that maybe she was alive for a long time
and she was just killed.
Right.
Yeah, don't know when she died.
Yeah, one was matched to a local fisherman who had gone missing in 1987.
So they've been able to match some of them with DNA.
Interesting.
So like they're,
they have proven it
that it's people that,
like so it does make sense
that you're like,
yeah, this is what it is.
But how did they disappear?
Could it be a serial killer?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I mean,
he was a fisherman
that like,
I don't know,
his boat,
he got out on sea
and then blah, blah,
and didn't make it
or something.
Yeah.
Once belonged to a woman
who had jumped off a bridge.
I just feel like there would be stuff in the ocean
that could get inside the shoe and eat the feet.
Like just because the feet wouldn't break,
the shoes wouldn't break down.
I feel like there's.
They're tied really tight.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean.
There's that big garbage pail, you know,
out in the ocean That's swirling
It's the size of Texas
Or something
Maybe they get
I don't know
Tell me how many feet
Are in there
That's true
Oh really
That's rough to think about
It's the size of Texas
We talked about it
On the oceans episode
It was something like
The size of Texas or Alaska
It was something crazy
Where is it at
The great Pacific garbage
Pacific ocean
Yeah
Let's build an island
On that thing
And it like Kind of just swirls so it kind of
stays in place i mean that picture with that boat shows it a little bit bigger than my front yard
but i think overall it's is it like the size of a i think they count it where it there has to be
like a certain proportion of of plastic yeah in an area so it doesn't look like that like that
thick the size of tex, but there is an area that
big where there's a bunch in it.
And that's just where they dump the trash or just ends up being there?
I think that's part of where it ends up just based on the currents of the ocean.
It's kind of the world's lost and found.
Yeah, I think we should build something.
Yeah, you should go out there and you get to look for your belongings.
First come, first serve. i think there's keepers i think it floats
from everywhere like asia us and it kind of gets caught in a current and well there it is and just
doesn't move oh they each we each have our own they've got their own my mistake but i guess
all together why even do a landfill if we can just do that you know yeah? Yeah, why don't they go?
What do they do?
They don't go get it?
I think they're trying.
There have been all kinds of efforts to make a small. Yeah, I think on the oceans episode we talked about,
there's guys who have proposals like a big net to try to pull it all in.
I say we pull it down, put a net over it, let it go to the bottom.
So you want to start taking yours to the ocean?
Yeah, I say why not?
Yeah.
Stop paying that garbage guy.
Yeah.
You get off the airplane at Destin, you got your slippers on yours to the ocean. Yeah. I say, why not? Yeah. Stop paying that garbage guy. Yeah. You get off the airplane at Destin.
You got your slippers on, your trash bag.
Yes.
Yeah.
And you just go out there and just shake your bag.
Yeah.
Yeah, you got to go out a certain distance.
Yeah, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Walk out your feet.
Yeah, it's up to your waist and dump it.
Yeah.
Go back through Southwest, get your ticket, go home.
Yeah.
I do it once a month. take my trash out to the ocean.
I do the Gulf of Mexico.
We've kind of given up on that to begin with.
Yeah.
It's already brown.
Yeah.
Well, you know, maybe we go on out to the Pacific Ocean or whatever.
Whatever the one near us is.
Atlantic?
Both of them.
Atlantic.
Yeah.
I think they're both near us, right?
Atlantic's way closer, yeah. You're talking about near, literally, physically national. You're talking about the United States? Yeah. Yeah. I think they're both near us, right? Clonics are way closer, yeah.
You're talking about near,
literally, physically national.
You're talking about the United States?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, we got a few decisions.
Yeah, we got a couple, yeah.
I would think the Gulf of Mexico, though,
it's a little tighter in there.
Mm-hmm.
But if you just use the entire Gulf of Mexico,
and then we just agree to grow.
And that would ruin Panama City Beach.
It would.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's where people go. Those are the people that would throw trash in the ocean. would yeah yeah yeah yeah here's when that's where people go
those are the people that would throw trash in yeah yeah the panama city right crowd for sure
would be that yeah they'd be like would you do it you're like yeah yeah of course i have done it
yeah yeah exactly they're like would we all go yeah that was our big vacation yeah Gulf of Mexico there's a woman
67 year old woman
living in St. Petersburg
Mary Reeser
and
she didn't
couple days
nobody had seen her
so they finally went in her house
and all they found
was a pile of ashes
of her body
nothing else
had been burned
nothing else
was disturbed
just a big pile of ashes
oh I used to love this
kind of unsolved
mysteries spontaneous combustion stuff this is from unsolved mysteries yeah i used to get into
that i had a bunch of books on on mysteries and bermuda triangle and i love that kind of stuff
yeah bermuda triangle we don't we don't hear about it it was a big deal when i was oh yeah oh yeah
bermuda triangle i mean it is funny for the kids now, I don't think they would ever hear about it.
And it was like, you better not go.
I mean, yeah.
I mean, this is probably what started me liking conspiracies.
I mean, Bermuda Triangle stuff is, I remember reading books about it as a kid.
I was like, this is unbelievable.
Yeah.
And isn't it just like the weather or something?
Like the weather there is like a lot of hurricanes, a lot of like –
That's probably how they want you to think about it.
I think, yeah.
Didn't we talk about it once?
We've talked about it a little bit.
I mean, I think it was mostly back in boats and ships
when the weather would be bad, some planes mostly.
Based on this map, you would think that Miami might be like,
well, we're playing
a role in this, too. Let's not give it all
to Bermuda here. Or maybe San Juan
is like, well, listen. You should call it the San Juan
triangle. Yeah, sure. Bermuda's a part.
No, it's the opposite. Bermuda's like, why do
we have to take all the blame? Throw Miami
and San Juan in there. Nobody wants to come to Bermuda
because of the triangle.
Yeah. That's a good way of thinking about it.
Yeah, they're like, I'd like to get to Bermuda, but can we go around the triangle?
I'll say, based on this map, if you're flying from DC to Puerto Rico, you're going to fly
right over that triangle.
You have to.
Yeah.
Well, that's one little island in Puerto Rico.
Most of the island-
But maybe they go around it.
But even, no matter where you go, you'd have to fly over it.
Well.
Unless you went over Miami.
I'd go to Shreveport and then yeah connect a
connecting flight take a bus yeah there yeah it's it is funny though i mean man was the
bernier triangle big deal when you were a kid i remember hearing about it yeah i think it was
like i just remember being like it was just like we all agreed not to go right it was that big
not that we could have afforded to go to Bermuda or Miami, but it's-
But you couldn't look things up.
So you just hear about the Bermuda Triangle and you're like, what?
So what happens there?
People just go missing?
The boats crash.
The planes crash.
Okay.
I think some of them just disappear.
Interesting.
There's no cell reception out there now?
I don't think so.
I think that's why it's went away.
There were no cells back then. It's fine. There was no cell phones back then. There was no cell phones back then now? I don't think so. I think that's why it's went away. There were no cells back then.
It's fine.
There was no cell phones back then.
Yeah, there was no cell phones back then.
It was just a lot of stuff.
I think it's a lot of weather.
I mean, you got to think hurricanes would probably really form out there.
They would lose radio signal and couldn't tell if they were going up or down.
But it was a fun time.
I'm sad you didn't live through the Bermuda Triangle.
Yeah.
It was a pretty good.
It was a golden age of just like, man, this is like a big problem.
Yeah.
And spontaneous combustion.
I remember hearing about that stuff too a bit.
And that's like you just blow up.
Yeah, like this lady here.
She just catches on fire.
For no reason.
Yeah.
We had some of that stuff, my generation, I think.
We had like 9-11.
That was a young boy. That's not not what are you talking about that's a
i know we had real stuff dude we you know we were we lost our innocence young yeah by the time you
were a kid there was real stuff i was just saying like yeah the world was on fire you didn't have
time to play around with bermuda triangle you have- 9-11, I was the age where that was, we tried to go in the workforce.
Okay.
I was the age where,
that's why the Oregon Trail generation,
we were a unique generation of just,
that was the exact age of like,
we were supposed to be going,
we're either getting out of college,
you're going to get jobs.
I would have been,
I thought about joining the military
and I would have been in my fourth year
when 9-11 happened.
I was joining the Army.
I would have been in boot camp when 9-11 happened.
Yeah.
So it's like we, like, you know.
You two together on the front lines?
Yeah.
We just stopped it.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, that's true.
I would have been a rookie coming in.
You might have trained me.
You'd been a rookie.
Yeah, you might have trained me.
Might have trained him.
I don't know about this guy. Yeah. We can cut your hair. Yeah, yeah. You've been a rookie. Yeah, you might have trained a man. Might have trained him. I don't know about this guy.
Let me cut your hair.
Yeah, yeah.
You had Slender Man.
Slender Man was kind of after me.
Okay.
All right.
I really think, yeah, 9-11 happening at such a formative age,
like it affected a lot.
It does, but we're talking about like –
Bloody Mary was big when i was a kid yeah
that kind of stuff yeah so you're comparing bermuda triangle to 9-11 is basically what you're
doing uh we're talking about fun like kind of weird conspiracy kind of stuff and you're like
9-11 i'm trying to i tried to defend my generation yeah oh we had world war ii yeah all right okay well let's all right i guess
so that's not what we meant you would have blair witch blair witch yeah yeah for sure the ring
yeah that stuff was big when i was growing up blair which everybody thought it was real
yeah i mean by the time you were coming along people were like debunking everything right so
they were like on the internet so if we're like all the bermuda triangle's crazy like your you know your generation
could look it up your own snopes oh no it's just weather well my generation was also watching
videos of like beheadings and stuff oh yeah when we were young we just thought you just watched
the most horrific stuff on the internet so you were just jaded you watch that kids my age 100 we had internet you go to the family computer like let's just find the most
horrific stuff you could watch and that's what it was what's wrong with you we would have to get a
dvd i don't know or a vhs of uh many faces of death yeah that was it you'd have to i don't
think i never saw one but it was you would hear about them yeah kids would have the yeah faces of death or like bum
fights or something like that crazy i had a friend that had a dvd of that it's too much right yeah i
never watched you i was like i don't watch this i didn't like it either i was friends over at a
friend's house and you're like y'all want to watch this and you're all and none of you are really
enjoying it but you're just kind of looking at it like i don't want to be the one coward in the
group yeah yeah yeah then you go play guitar hero says you do yeah you did a lot of stuff aaron uh
preparing you for notre dame i don't know what college is going to bring so i might as well see
it all yeah this well anyway this woman spontaneously but they think maybe she took
she took sleeping pills she was known for that they think maybe she took sleeping pills. She was known for that. They think maybe
she was so passed out
and she smoked a cigarette
that somehow
it fell on her nightgown.
They said she was
a kind of large woman.
They said fat can burn
for a long time.
And they think
maybe she just burned up.
She never felt, yeah.
No stop, drop, and roll.
No.
She's like,
that rash is itching again.
Well, two to go. You've already done the stop stop parts there right you've already dropped two drop parts there but you're
missing maybe the most important part which is the roll around the roll is what we're getting to
yeah without the roll stopping and dropping doesn't do much doesn't do anything no i'd actually say
don't do those if you're not gonna yeah yeah you're. Yeah, yeah. If you're not going to follow through.
If you're not going to follow, if you're not going to get to the role,
I'd stay up.
Just keep on your feet.
Yeah.
Stay up, run.
Yeah.
There's a woman who, go ahead.
I also like that the article says she was known for taking sleeping pills.
That made me laugh too.
Like known around town.
They knew.
They knew.
Mary Reese, are you talking about the sleeping pill lady?
What sleeping pill?
Even if you take sleeping pills,
I just don't know how you could take enough
that you would ever talk about it openly, publicly.
She's doing so many.
They're like, call Mary Reese.
They're like, you know she's already took those pills.
She'll be here Tuesday.
She sleeps the weekend away.
Yeah, they said as she was known user of sleeping pills,
they hypothesized she had fallen unconscious while smoking
and set fire to her nightclothes.
That's got to be tough to hear that.
Just her loved ones, you know, like the cause of death.
They determined she was just so fat that she caught on fire.
I don't think you're...
They probably weren't surprised.
I think you're like...
They're like, Mary?
Yeah.
You talking about that Mary?
I think there's one guy that called it in the pool.
He goes, I called that.
And he wins all the money.
We knew it happened.
You called that she would set on fire.
Spontaneously combust.
And he goes, look at it.
I said, she's going to fall asleep on those sleeping pills one day.
She's going to light herself on fire with that cigarette.
We're going to find her ashes.
That sounds like someone, like her dad.
Yeah.
If you don't get healthy, Mary, what's your name?
Mary Reeser.
Mary Reeser.
Mary Reeser?
Reeser?
Mary Reeser, you're going to turn into a cigarette one day.
Mary Reeser, I tell you, if you don't get healthy,
you're going to light one of those cigarettes on fire.
You're going to fall asleep.
Take all those pills.
We're going to find a bunch of ashes in here.
He'll be like, I thought the house would also burn.
I was surprised that happened.
That part did baffling.
I'll do a couple more.
There's a woman who her coworker was murdered,
and then she started having dreams where the murder victim came to her in her dreams and told her who did it and explained how it happened.
And then her husband overheard her in her sleep telling all this stuff.
So he finally encouraged her, go to the police and tell them.
So she goes to the police, tells them them and at first they're very skeptical but then she has so much detail that only you know how would they know this how would she know this so they finally
started looking into it the guy who she said uh killed her and they found uh the victim's jewelry
on that guy's wife that he'd given her and he finally
confessed to the murder wow yeah yeah uh it's tough to get out of it at that point yeah when
your wife has the jewelry of the person yeah yeah yeah man so apparently she visioned her
visit her in her dreams yeah that's interesting where get, you know, it's like, I mean, golly, his wife too.
Like everything's nice.
Yeah.
She's like, Harold, you gave me this dead woman's necklace.
That's Mary Reese's necklace.
She wasn't dead when I got it.
What?
Yeah.
I'm keeping the necklace.
You can go to jail.
I'm keeping the necklace.
You can go to jail.
There's some Russian hikers that were all found dead in the woods.
And they could tell they had cut their way out of their tent.
Like they were trying to escape their tent.
They were all cut up.
One of them was missing a tongue, kind of mutilated. And they're like, what happened to all these guys that made them like run from inside their tent and there's different speculation about what it was that
happened but uh some doc a documentary filmmaker presented a theory about a phenomenon called
infrasound and it's basically where it's a it's a tone made by the wind that causes you to go crazy
and delusional and they've tested this on people
before it's like a low infrared set not infrared but whatever well you can't really hear it but
it still affects your brain it makes you go crazy so they think that's a real thing can you look up
infrasound yeah yeah there's all kind of things they talk about. It's a... What?
Well, things where they talk about being able to even, like,
go into, you know, zap into people's brains and make them think they're hearing voices.
It's an extreme bass sound that produces a range of bizarre effects
in people, including anxiety, sorrow, and chills.
Yeah.
Those are the ones you don't want.
Yeah.
Yeah. So that's... That's ones you don't want. Yeah. Yeah.
So that's what you get from watching horror movies.
I mean, how is this stuff not just talked about a lot more openly?
I think, I don't know how serious they took this documentary guy.
I looked up an article last night and said,
they probably were just an avalanche killed them,
and they heard it coming,
and they were just trying to get out of their tents.
And then after they're all dead, animals eventually will come
and shred you up, including eating your tongue.
Yeah, only half of it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
No, my head tongue wasn't really that good.
That's like a – it is funny to say, like, you talk to that document guy,
then you come in and say that, and you're like, oh.
Just a no-fun police officer. Oh, yeah. He goes, well, it was probably that document guy, then you come in and say that, and you're like, ugh, just a no-fun
police officer. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, it was probably an ambulance, and then the animals got him.
You're like, oh, here we go.
It is interesting, though, that they,
if there's only a half-tongue left, like,
why would the animals not just finish? The animals
were like, we're full, and we'll find something else.
I bet it's hard to get in there.
To get the whole thing. It's like the feet in the shoe.
It's just, you know, that's enough.
Especially, yeah, your mouth shut.
And he seems like he didn't like it because everybody else had their tongue.
So he probably was like, yeah, it's not that good.
Maybe tongue's not good.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, we don't eat tongue a lot.
Maybe they had had a-
We ate beef tongue, right?
Isn't that a thing?
I think it's a thing, but I mean, we're not-
You ain't going to Chili's and asking for the beef tongue. It's not made it that far. i think it's a thing but i mean we're not you ain't going to chili's and asking for the beef tongue it's not made it that far i think it's a specialty okay
imagine the chili song though you remember the baby back rib song what if they were doing cow
tongues my baby yeah whatever tongue tongue
talking in tongues at chili's yeah talking in tongues at Chili's
talking in tongues
at Chili's
baby back tongues
Polack sisters
they were
that's just their last name
okay
oh it was
yeah
it's not a
joke
start of a 90s joke
who are the Polacks
why are they
getting made fun of
I think it's
Polish people
Polish people
it's just derogatory term's Polish people. It's just...
Derogatory term for Polish people.
They might be the Pollock
sisters.
That would have been much better.
Yep, you're right.
You are right.
I apologize.
That hat and wig is affecting you.
Yeah.
There you go.
All right.
We'll go find out right. All right.
We'll go find out Brian is Polack.
I hope I am at this point to try to save myself.
Guys, I'm one of you.
Come on.
All right.
The Pollack sisters, that makes much more sense.
They both died, and their parents then had two other little girls,
and these little girls knew all the stuff that
their older sisters knew they knew their favorite toys they knew all this stuff that about their
previous childhood that there was no way they would know so they think they were reincarnated
and came back wow as as the two previous girls oh the girls girls died yeah the two previous girls. Oh, so the two girls died? Yeah, the two little girls died,
and then this couple had two more little girls,
and they knew everything about the previous girls.
They apparently grew up and correctly named all the dolls
and stuffed animals that belonged to the older two daughters,
and they have recurring nightmares about being run over by a car.
Wow.
That's pretty crazy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is wild. And I'll end on this one. This is kind of a more upbeat. 15 members of the Beatrice Westside Baptist Church were all known
to be promptly on time for recital or choir practice. Known for their timeliness, but on
this day, they were all running late, every single one of them,
all for very different reasons.
But not one of them was there on time when a natural gas leak caused
the explosion of the church.
Even Snopes says this is real.
So, like, what happened to make all 15 people late?
Sounds like insurance fraud to me.
Dusty just solved it.
And this is Nebraska?
Yeah. Yeah, that does sound
like...
That is crazy. Intervention. I wanted to say
God's intervention, Dusty, goes around.
Yeah. Could be that.
It does. Yeah.
I mean, there's only 15 people going to this church.
Yeah. Well, that's just the choir members.
Oh.
15 members of the choir, so it's probably a big church.
So a lot of people died.
No, no, no.
It was like when church wasn't in session, they were going there for practice.
Maybe it was Sunday afternoon or another day of the week.
So they all showed up late for different reasons.
They said two women had car trouble.
One woman had to iron her shirt last minute.
Other had to help their kid with homework.
They had to finish the end of a radio show.
One had overslept it.
I do think intervention.
I do think that.
You've changed your answer?
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
Yeah, if it's a bigger church.
I was thinking it was only these 15 people.
So, yeah.
You know, stuff happens sometimes that you, and you ever, like, in a smaller scope,
you ever see a wreck like that happens right before you and you're like,
I ran back in to go grab something.
Exactly.
Yeah.
And then you're like, you know, it's kind of crazy.
I think that's it.
All right.
All right, everybody.
We did it
uh
happy
when's this coming

this comes out this week
