Our fifth guest, the Bigfoot expert.
All right.
I kind of stepped on the joke.
It was a good joke.
I'm saying it was a good joke, but they ruined it.
I didn't know what was going on.
I was just on the fly.
You just got to roll with me, Dustin.
I know.
I'm hot.
You got to keep up. I'm like Robin Williams over here. Yeah. I was just on the fly. You just got to roll with me, Dustin. I know. I'm hot. You got to keep up.
I'm like Robin Williams over here.
Yeah.
It's all over the place.
It was a solid joke.
It was a good joke in the 80s and still relatable now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
150.
Well, thank you for listening to all that.
That's crazy.
Did you think we'd have a Nate Land shirt still going 150 episodes in?
I don't know.
I mean,
I honestly don't think
I thought
really much
past anything.
Yeah.
I thought it'd be
farther along in my career
and I wouldn't have to do this.
So that means
300 hours.
Roughly.
So just 300 hours
of just talking.
That is amazing.
Just wisdom.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Learning.
Yeah.
That's a lot.
That's a lot of talking.
Yeah.
You know?
It is.
I mean, y'all don't know what it feels like, but.
It's a lot of us listening.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've done 300 hours of talking.
Yeah.
I did about 75. We've learned a listening. Yeah. Yeah. I've done three, a hundred hours of talking. Yeah. Uh,
they did about, uh,
75.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
75 hours.
That's not much.
Uh,
no.
Uh,
yeah.
Well,
here we are.
All right.
Uh,
we had a good,
I was in Charleston this weekend.
Uh,
wonderful weekend.
Uh,
went there a day early, saw, big jay shane gillis tim
dylan nick mullen and they did uh they did show the night before a little bit dirty it's crazy
uh they're everybody's so funny that it's so good uh shane gillis is yeah i mean he destroyed today everybody destroyed nick mullen's super funny
too super funny to me uh i mean and obviously jay i've been friends forever and tim and uh
but they uh it is funny their show is uh a much dirtier show like their music when people come in
was like i was like wow like you don't ever think about it being different. And, uh, you know,
you're just doing your own little show on the road and whatever.
And then I walk in, we're all hanging out. I mean, I ran,
I was like their tour manager. Cause of course, none of them,
they're doing an arena. They did, uh, Charleston.
And they did the Hershey arena and the show sold out Hershey giants arena.
Uh, Shane is from there. And. They sold out Hershey, Giants Arena.
Shane is from there.
But I go in, and I was helping them.
I was like, what time is y'all soundcheck?
They weren't going to do soundcheck.
I was like, y'all should go do soundcheck.
It's an arena.
It's different.
You need to go up there.
Matt McCuster, Shane's podcast I was hosted.
And then they were like, oh, we're just bringing each other up each other up i was like no he needs to go bring you up individually because i was like
trying to like i was like this is a big show y'all are doing this big arena and there's four or five
thousand people here like go like everybody needs their own separate entrance and you know like uh
and they they really put on such a great show and people had so much fun, but I mean, I was working, dude, I was a tour manager. I was like, I was calling shots.
I go, we'll be over there. I found out the soundcheck that they, none of them were like,
who do we talk to? I was like, I go, this is a nightmare. And so I was like, we're out eating.
I'm like texting everybody trying to be like, what time we need to be there. I'm not even,
didn't even go up, but I mean, I was busy. Do they not have somebody?
No, it's like when you first start going out,
you're just not going to have someone.
You just, you know, when you first start doing it, you're just not.
You're just going to.
Promotion people kind of handle it.
Yeah, yeah.
The promoter kind of does it, and you just kind of go,
what time am I going to be there?
And, you know, I understand why.
But that's why I was like, these are such big shows, though, that it be there and you don't you know i i understand why but that's why i was like these are such big shows though that it was i i enjoyed being you know i don't mind
telling people what to do tell those guys so i i enjoyed but what about the like the music just
was dirty yeah like who was the artist you know uh i mean i walked in everybody in dmx uh so yeah
i mean i've had i've had clubs
like that where i'm like you know i'm like asked for it to be like you know everybody that's opening
to be clean and then like the intro music like not the intro but the loaded music is like the
filthiest music i'm like this doesn't this is not adding up here they don't even think about it yeah
yeah yeah it was that was just the funny part is like i was like man i mean i walked
in i was like that's like so people will walk into this yeah it's like all right all right
yeah and i think they even cleaned it up a little bit like they put some stuff they had to take some
of the you know because they were just straight up playing you know i mean look people don't think
about you know like i mean a lot of it doesn't think about, you know, like, I mean, a lot of it doesn't matter. Do whatever you want to do.
They don't.
I mean, like this show I did in Alabama one time.
It was like a lot of my family and friends and like older relatives that probably have never even been to a comedy show.
And there's just blasting just the filthiest music.
And I'm like, kind of read the room here.
You know what I mean?
Switch to a classic rock station.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know?
Yeah, it's, yeah.
I loved, I mean, it was fun.
It's always fun to get to go to a show and not have to do anything
and just get to watch it.
And so we got to do that.
And especially sitting in these arenas,
like we went and sat at a few different spots,
which was nice because it's like when, you know,
now that I'm doing some of them, you're you're like oh let me go see what it looks like
for the audience when i'm up here to see you know what's the best scenario and uh so it was very
cool to get to do that and uh i enjoy yeah i mean i enjoyed it i mean like yeah they're the opposite
uh obviously you know what i do is different but
that's what like these are some of my you know me and jay have been friends for 20 years uh
and but i that's what i love like these guys you know i've always been clean they never no one ever
made me feel weird about being clean uh i just stay doing what i do they do what they do and
like that's what i love about comedians is,
uh,
there's a,
just a,
yeah,
you're just friends with people that you're like,
yeah,
I wouldn't,
you would not think I would be friends with them,
but you know,
if they're good people and they're nice people and,
and you know,
and you don't feel like,
you know,
that I was fortunate to be even around that world.
Never like felt like I was being bullied into being dirty or something
like they were all like yeah you just do that and no one cares and they're like yeah that's your
thing that's all yeah i like that you do you know and it's uh it's it's i love it it's awesome
uh so yeah it was good and then uh then we had our shows in charleston uh hung out charleston uh
it's a great town it's the new bachelor place i think it's number one now is it really well
charleston's the best a random person said that so i don't know you know but it's but charleston
is awesome though it's the best i love charleston yeah i lived there for 10 years yeah it was a fun
i mean a lot a lot of bachelor party a lot you know, just seeing, I mean, a lot of people get tore up down there.
Yes, they do.
It's got like a New Orleans vibe a little.
It does, yeah.
You know.
Bit of a cleaner New Orleans.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's wild, though.
It is wild.
Yeah.
I quit drinking in Charleston.
I mean, I was like, all right, I've had enough.
You know what I mean?
You got it all out.
Yeah.
Yeah. It's too much.
Yeah.
It's too much.
Can't find any data on this.
But here's a report.
Charleston among top destinations for bachelorette parties.
There you go.
There you go.
I bet per capita it's probably bigger than Nashville.
Okay.
Yeah.
No, I agree.
That makes sense.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah.
There's a guy who said it, so I don't even remember who said it.
It might not be true.
I mean, I know every time I'm at the airport in Nashville,
I see multiple bachelorette parties coming and going.
Yeah, with a sash.
Every time.
You don't hear about bachelor parties.
There's never a ranking for bachelor parties.
They're usually not wearing a sash.
Vegas always thinks.
I guess you wouldn't know.
It's hard to tell because dudes will just also go on a dude trip.
That's true.
Like a golf trip or something like that.
And they're not wearing matching shirts.
Yeah.
At the airport.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah.
That's fun, though.
I think women have. Did you do a bachelor party uh yeah and yeah my buddies came out to new york because right when i moved to new york so they're
in comedy uh and laura did i think i picked laura up at her bachelorette party they went to zany's
that's like do not talk you know like they're it's notorious like bachelorette
parties that they they want to go to a comedy club and they're just they get they drink too
much they get loud they you know it's like you in theory you think we might have talked about this
before you you don't you think you want to do it it's not a good idea unless you're going to sit
and watch the show it's you you really you don't really want to be doing it you want to you want to do it it's not a good idea unless you're going to sit and watch the show it's you you really you don't really want to be doing it you want to you want to go to a bar you
want to go talk to each other yeah yeah it's gonna be about them they want yeah exactly what they want
to be about them i because i thanked uh i remember thanking a bachelorette party at the end of my
show one time and the look the girl gave me was like oh now you
mentioned us and i was like well the right time this is the right time to mention you i opened
for dusty at goonies in rochester minnesota and there's a bachelorette party there and me and
dusty were outside and this girl came up she goes we're here for a bachelorette party so if you want
some intel on the bride and dusty was like nah yeah, I'm not going to do any of that.
But do you remember the Intel she gave us was her mom owns a skincare
company and she has terrible skin.
Do you remember this?
She was saying like horrifically mean stuff about the bride to be.
And I'm like, we're not going to touch any.
What am I supposed to be like?
Look, does your mom own a skincare company?
Cause you have pimples all over your face.
Like that's what she wanted us to do.
And we didn't. checks out uh yeah i mean women can be vicious right yeah you are hideous yeah who would marry you yeah yeah golly minnesota nice that's what they
call it you know is that real well minnesota nice is what they say is where well they'll be
nice to you to your face but then not behind your back yeah that's like a bless your heart
yes exactly yeah something bless your heart then then on your bachelor party you stayed out all
night and that next morning you're walking through time square and ran into someone you knew from
like back home and yeah and just avoided them because yeah you just didn't want to deal with them? It was just like two.
Yeah, I saw them from home, and I was like,
the odds of me seeing someone at home in Times Square.
Yeah.
But you're just like, I don't want to.
On your bachelor weekend.
Yeah, you're like, and I just went the other way.
I was very close to them, and then I just kind of zipped up in the yeah back in the crowd
yeah ducked away uh so that's what yeah that's what i did where were y'all uh saturday i did
a show here in nashville for nashville inner city ministry a wonderful organization a lot of nice
people the show and then last night i was in austin for the first time at cap city comedy club. Oh, nice.
Great show.
A lot of folks came out.
All right.
Sold a lot of shirts.
Yeah.
There you go.
Wonderful,
wonderful people.
Yeah.
It's a great club.
Oh, and a woman,
um,
I was walking to the club and a woman pulled up in her minivan and,
and rolled down the window.
And she said,
we came to see your show.
It was her and her two daughters.
She said,
but we just didn't even realize you can't get in unless you're 18.
So she said, you know, we're going back home.
But just to let everybody know, it's not our decision.
It's just clubs.
Usually you got to be 18 or older.
Oh, yeah.
For 21.
18 to laugh, 21 to drink.
Yeah.
Yeah, just because it's at a – like mine are all ages,
but I'm at a performing arts. Right. Club legally is like a bar. Yeah, yeah because it's at a – like mine are all ages, but I'm at a performing arts club.
Right.
Club legally is like a bar.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you at least stop and say hi to them?
No, I had to keep going.
You're like –
It's like, lady, you need to buy a ticket.
Got nothing for you.
No, I did.
I stopped and talked to them and we did a picture.
But I felt bad, but I just want people to know we're clean but you can go to any age for nate show but not at the club yeah yeah i had a
weird i was in california did the irvine improv and then the ontario improv thank you to everyone
that came out great crowds great times but so we check out of the airbnb we stayed at irvine i had
to check out at 10 and then the show in ontario
is not till 8 p.m so it's one of those days where you're just literally just like looking for ways
to kill time yeah i mean we drove we ate so now we got like six hours to kill before the show
so we went and played uh i was with my buddy joe kelly you came with me we played putt putt let me
tell you something dude i'm good at putt putt-putt. Let me tell you something, dude.
I'm good at putt-putt.
I feel like I could take all three of you.
I know you're a better putter,
but I think there's a lot more variables at play in mini golf.
I'm pretty confident.
Like a windmill, a ramp, you got to ricochet off stuff.
I feel like it's a lot about heart,
and I feel like I could take all three of you.
What a heart.
Yeah, I felt pretty good about how I... Did you shoot under par under par well it's not really important you know there's a lot of stuff going
on oh i did okay i made a few hole in ones dude okay yeah i felt good about it yeah really talking
a big game for not really keeping score well it's not again it's not about the score it's about
i mean i the friendships you make along the way it's about the journey
yeah i mean i'm good for two or three holes in putt putt and then i'm about done It's about the friendships you make along the way. It's about the journey.
Yeah, I mean, I'm good for two or three holes in putt-putt,
and then I'm about done.
You get bored with it?
Yeah, I mean, that's.
Oh, that's what mini golf is.
It's each hole is a new adventure, dude. You don't know what's going to happen.
Okay.
Yeah, you can't make it all the way through?
You got to hit it through a clown's mouth or something.
I saw you hit it in the windmill and the ball got lost.
I did get a ball got eaten like a coin in a
vending machine. That was pretty disappointing.
That's DQ'd right there.
So then you're out now.
No, I just took a drop.
That's a penalty
stroke. You're lying three.
Yeah, but I was leading enough.
I had like a six or so.
A hole in one, the next hole.
A six or seven will kill you.
You just can't get something like that. Big time. Yeah, like a six or so, but, you know, a hole in one, the next hole. A six or seven will kill you. Yeah, it will.
You just can't get something like that.
Big time.
Yeah.
Threes are, I mean, almost threes are tough.
You got to.
I think almost all of them were par threes.
Are they?
I think they're twos.
The course that I played, like at most, it's a par three.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like the long ones, so.
Yeah.
Yeah, if you do a, I had a couple nine or ten-stroke holes, you know,
where you just get –
I mean, wait, I think you might be terrible at putting.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Look, we played a couple rounds.
That was the first round.
I figured it out.
I'm just saying I feel much better about that than, like,
putting on an actual green.
It's – yeah, they – putt-putt is – I love putt-putt and it's very fun.
And if you can find a good one, we try to go walk and do one when we, I did a, I was at Disney doing a corporate and like that, like where we were, they had a putt-putt near there, but it was, I think it was packed.
Cause it can either be packed or no one's there.
There's really no in between.
There's nobody at this one.
We had the whole place to ourselves that's how there's putt putt is very you know it's either like good luck
it'll take five hours or they haven't seen someone for three weeks there's no no balance
in between tiger woods is doing a like a pop stroke thing here in Nashville. What is that?
I've only seen pictures, but I think it's like a putt-putt,
but maybe a long
putt-putt. Maybe it's an 80-yard
hole
or something.
That's what I need.
It's usually too short
for me. That's what I find.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's a real challenge.
They say it's spending to Tennessee and Nevada. Yeah, what I find. Yeah. I don't know. It's a real challenge. Let's say expanding to Tennessee and Nevada.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're coming to Tennessee.
And so I,
yeah,
I don't,
I don't know.
It looks like a little bit longer of a thing,
but it's,
it's putt,
putt,
uh,
pop stroke.
I mean,
a pop stroke is you just like,
I mean,
it's a,
uh,
yeah,
it's just putting to Papa, but it's a, yeah, it's just putting.
It's a putt-putt, but it's a big one.
Yeah, this looks cool.
Yeah.
Where are they putting this in Nashville?
I don't know.
I didn't see Nashville on the list.
Did you see it?
No, I thought the article said it, though.
No, they're coming to Nashville.
Dust, you strike me as a trampoline guy.
I do love the trampoline.
I grew up with trampolines. Yeah, that's what I figured.
I mean, I was, yeah, I was all about a trampoline. We weren't golfers. We do love the trampoline. I grew up with trampoline. Yeah. So I figured, I mean,
I was,
yeah,
I was all about a trampoline.
We weren't golfers.
We were jumpers.
Yeah.
You know,
we had a trampoline next to a tree,
uh,
next to the deck.
I mean,
we jump off the tree onto the trampoline flips.
No,
no padding,
no,
no siding.
You jump into anything,
a pool or anything like that.
Oh yeah.
We pulled it next to the pool.
One time jumped out into the pool.
Yeah.
It was great.
There's trampoline places here in Nashville you can go to.
There is a trampoline park.
I'm a member.
I became a member for my daughter.
Okay.
Well, never mind.
Excuse me.
Yeah.
Latitude, I think, is what it's called or something.
I forget what it's called, but it's awesome.
We go there, and she doesn't know how to jump yet, but she runs.
Altitude?
Altitude.
Yeah.
What did I say?
A lot of altitude.
It's about the same, right?
You just switch the A and the L around.
Yeah.
But yeah, I mean, it's awesome.
I love the trampoline park.
They got some, you know, the, I don't know what they call them.
What do they call them?
The parallel bars.
I don't know. They used to be called the monkey bars. I don't know what they call them. What do they call them? The parallel bars. I don't know.
It used to be called the monkey bars.
I don't know what they're called now, but they're awesome.
They're probably still called monkey bars.
You really do just switch the L and A and the altitude and latitude.
Is that right?
Kind of worked out.
Yeah.
Those two kind of.
Yeah.
It's like lazy.
I think so too.
When they did those words, they were like.
I feel like you do that trampoline.
You're going to need a good night's sleep on a Helix mattress. Well, that is true.
And you know what?
You read that top.
Yeah, it's interesting because I'd like to thanks, I say thanks to our friends at Helix Sleep for sponsoring this episode.
Yeah.
Because I own a Helix mattress that I sleep on and I have several Helix pillows and they're the best.
Matter of fact, I just bought a new Helix mattress for my daughter. I haven't set it up
yet, but she's still in a crib. But when, when, you know, I slept on a, a secondhand mattress
for 10 years. And so I've finally made enough money so that my daughter will get her own mattress
and it'll be good and comfortable.
First generation. No spring sticking up through the fabric. It's going to be great. It's clean.
It smells good. She's so spoiled already. And Helix Sleep is a premium mattress brand that provides tailored mattresses based on your unique sleep preferences. The Helix lineup includes 14 unique mattresses,
and I had a great time.
I loved it.
And I like sometimes when the shows are rough
because you get to really mix it up.
If the show was rough and your best jokes feel like
they're not hitting the way you'd like them to hit,
then I just do new stuff.
And then I'm like, oh, it's because I'm like,
I don't know, it's a great time to try it out.
Cause I can't save the show with my actual good material.
But the show was great, but I had, you know, I just filmed a special,
so I'm trying to work on new stuff anyway. So I'm like,
it was a great opportunity.
It probably frees you.
It frees you up because you're not in a rhythm of just saying the jokes.
And so you're just kind of like, all right,
I can kind of find it and mix it in with,
I guess,
talking to the crowd or not.
Yeah.
I mean,
the showroom air conditioner
was broke,
but the lobby air conditioner
worked.
So when people would leave
the show,
you would just see them
have this like,
just like,
you know,
just this.
That's great for merch sales.
It was great for merch sales
and it was good cigar weather. I mean, I like it out there. Yeah. I got, you know, just this moment. That's great for merch sales. It was great for merch sales. And it was good cigar weather.
I mean, I like it out there.
Yeah.
I got, you know, a guy at a pizza place.
He recognized me walking down the street, brought me right in, gave me a free piece of pizza.
Really?
It was amazing.
Wow.
It was great.
That's nice.
Yeah.
And you were in the mood for it.
I was.
I was like, you know what?
I will have a piece of pizza right now.
Yeah.
Just one piece? It was huge. But yeah, it was one piece. It was like you know what i will have a piece of pizza right now yeah yeah just one piece it was huge but it was one piece it was like half a pizza yeah i was like i really
didn't expect it to be that big did you get what was it pepperoni i just got cheese yeah yeah i'm
sure you appreciated that yeah uh yeah i kept it easy on it you know what i mean i don't waste a
lot of his meat let me show you my pizza all right i would love to try uh just cheese only
yeah yeah dab some of that grease off is meat. Let me show you my pizza. All right. I'd love to try it. Just cheese only.
Yeah, yeah. Dab some of that grease off.
All right. Let's start with some of your
comments, guys.
James Nolan. I've
literally just returned from my father's
funeral for some light relief.
I started this week's episode, Robots.
Watching Aaron try to explain logic to Nate
had me crying all the tears
that I've managed to hold in for most of the day.
I'm literally howling and laughing
to the point that my wife had to check on me
in case I finally had the emotional break
that apparently is on the way.
I feel a weight being lifted
and I just want to thank you guys
for the funny, especially today.
Well, we appreciate that.
Yeah, absolutely.
Hate that for you, buddy.
Appreciate it.
Mandy Sharp.
Absolutely love this episode.
I started working in a local flower shop at age 12, local pizza place through high school, and a local bank as an adult.
All of those business owners helped me learn the importance of great customer service.
The downside is that now I'm saddened by the major decline in customer service in so many industries it makes me want to start a mom lecture when i
see employees not being professional and making the customer feel uh appropriated yeah yeah i mean
oh man it's so true we talked about that a bunch and and and you had i think you had a joke about
this on your first album but it it's like mom and pop shops.
Like my wife went to a local butcher shop and she bought some lamb and she was like asking them, she'd go, how should I prepare the lamb?
And they're like, I don't know.
And it's like, well, I thought you guys were the meat experts here.
You know what I mean?
Like we're coming to you to support a local business and you're acting like it's a crazy question to be like how would i cook this yeah that's in general they just get you get
people that work there no one cares so there's no there's no incentive to be like hey this is all
you know be proud of what you're doing and you're working here so represent the people it's just
kind of like i'm just this is my job dude And then you just move on to the next thing.
And then he's more that.
And you're very surprising to be at a local butcher.
You would think there's.
You're probably the first person to ever order lamb.
Yeah, maybe so.
Maybe so.
But they were like, so there's a way for you to be like, I don't know.
Yeah.
But not be dismissible.
Right.
But you should know.
You should know you should know it's it's it's it's uh if you're a butcher
that you know you're not like uh if you went to the grocery store and got lamb and the guy didn't
know and i think that guy would know right but if he didn't know you'd be like okay well i mean he
might just be like i don't i'm not a butcher shop yeah that's literally what he might tell you i'm
not a butcher shop is what he would say to you. Yeah. And then you're like, all right, well, maybe I'll go to a butcher shop
and they're like,
dude,
we're not.
They're like,
we don't know.
Kroger.
Yeah.
But you know,
yeah,
it's so,
it's so wild how
customer service is now.
It's so bad.
Leon,

The rant about shipping
makes me laugh
because Nate doesn't understand
younger people's
sense of humor.
It's a joke.
Just listen to Dusty's podcast and you will see he hates shipping things too.
Well, if on our debate there, though, my hats cost $35.
This painting was $1,200.
$1,700, I thought you said.
Yeah, I'm like, that's a bit different. If somebody's spending $1,700, I thought you said. Yeah. Yeah, I'm like, that's a bit different.
If somebody's spending $1,700, I'm ready to ship.
Yeah.
But I do hate shipping.
Now, Nate, as a professional comedian,
do you feel like sometimes you have trouble recognizing humor
and recognizing a joke?
Yeah, especially us young people.
Well, yeah.
No, I get the, it is a joke and i get the humor and that
is something that i've thought about like why can't i just laugh this off like she is or like
probably a lot of people yeah that is something i there's part of me i don't want to have to
only think about that shipping part but i i i i i can't but uh yeah look there to be fair that is
like i take a lot of stuff serious but i think there's seriousness behind it so i like she
doesn't want to do shipping so i think there is seriousness behind it and you're still throwing
that on the customer that goes back to the customer service thing your relationship with
the customer shouldn't be this like so like we're buddies.
Like, you know, it's, you know, to be like, dude, I don't want to ship.
And you're like, yeah, dude, it's your, I'm your friend, whatever.
It's like you're trying to, again, you're charging an insane amount of money that.
For your AI painting.
Yeah, for your AI painting.
That I think it's like I should never have to be anywhere at all.
But I don't think a lot of people think some people wouldn't think like,
you know,
my,
like Laura would have probably just laughed.
It didn't let me like,
Oh,
that's funny.
Like,
and then not really thought about it and like,
whatever,
where I will just be like,
no,
like you're,
I mean,
I can't get past it,
but that's something that I can work on.
But I've just thought of two things you ever
see at a bar they have a sign that says tipping is not a city in china yeah i don't care for that
i don't like that either no it's when p yeah it's like trying to be mean or funny it's you know it's
like you're seeing like when you see like homeless dudes like have signs and then you know you see
one that's like oh that's funny i've never seen that and then you're in that just then you start
seeing that everywhere and you're like that's the vibe that's funny. I've never seen that. And then you start seeing that everywhere. And you're like, that's the vibe.
That's like, this works.
Kind of be rude.
They're just trying to find a way to get your attention.
But now we're in a phase of the world where people are rude.
So niceness should kind of go start going back up.
That's what I think.
I think it's, I don't think that girl or whoever was that did that, the thing, the shipping is like, they're, I don't, I don't think she is doing it in a sense.
I think she thinks it's okay to do that.
Yeah.
And I think she's like, she's just like, I just tell them I don't want to ship.
And then they think that's okay because they're cutting corners into, you know, that's just what I believe.
They're not doing the whole point, like I said.
To me, that's her way of saying, I don't really need to sell these.
You know, like if I'm in a restaurant and I go, how's the, you know, the steak?
And they go, I don't know.
I don't eat beef.
It's like, well, learn the stuff around you.
Oh, yeah.
Well, lie.
Yeah.
Yeah, lie.
A lot of it.
Just keep the conversation going.
I don't want to have to be a whole thing.
You don't have to tell me something about you when there's no need for it.
I'm not telling something about me.
It's like when people order the steak, are they complaining about it they sending it back are they going it's delicious i do like when a server
is honest and like i'll be honest those aren't very good me too other thing and you're like oh
man see but then i i like that too but then there's part of me that i think well now you're
just saying like you could they know to just say that it's all like i can say whatever you know i
used to tell you i truly believe that I think you're a genuine person.
So that's what,
that's what I have to do.
I have to really be like,
do I believe this person?
Do I believe they're telling me the truth?
Or I believe that they're just like,
you're dusty over here.
I worked at a restaurant and they were,
it was,
it was,
they,
they were serving seafood and they started doing steak for a little while and
people would order it and they never liked it.
So I started telling people.
I was like, don't get that.
Don't do it.
I did think someone – did you even put the one about me being tired and ranting?
That's not in here, right?
There was some like that.
Nick gets tired, and there's a lot of ranting.
That could be true.
Yeah.
I know I got on a rant with that.
It was like, if I come in and I'm tired, it's interesting.
Why does that happen?
How are you feeling today?
I don't know.
We'll find out.
Yeah, we'll see.
I feel great.
But it isn't like, I guess it's like you're, why would you, you know, you get tired, you get, let me tell you something.
That's how I am.
You get a little old man-ish.
That's what I like about getting older.
It's like, it's like, okay to not like stuff and complain about things.
Now that I'm older,
like if people invite me to do things and I don't do it,
it feels okay now.
Cause I'm like,
well,
I'm in my forties.
What are you looking at?
I'm just getting ahead of the comments here.
Uh,
no,
that's fun.
Uh,
for once,
uh,
Ike Spore.
Ike Spore. That's the guy's fun. For once. Ike Spore. Ike Spore.
That's the guy's name.
Yeah.
Spore.
His last name.
S-P-O-O-R.
I think that's his real name.
Ike Spore.
Ike Spore.
I think those names go great together, though.
Yeah.
If your last name's Spore, I think they nailed it with an Ike.
Is Ike short for Dwight?
No.
I don't know.
I don't.
I think it's short for Mike.
Well, didn't they call Dwight Eisenhower Ike?
Yeah, I guess they did.
I don't know.
Or is that more to do with the Eisenhower?
I don't know.
He was your president.
Oh, yeah.
You voted for him.
You voted for him in there.
I voted for his opponent.
Ike Spore.
That's a good name.
Yeah.
And it could have been, you know, not good. I voted for his opponent. Ike Spore. That's a good name. Yeah.
And it could have been, you know, not good.
Well done.
I think it's pretty on par for this podcast when Breakfast calls Isaac Asimov some guy and then doubles down with some writer.
Love the show so much.
Keep it up, folks.
Okay, so this was the guy who came up with the
three robot laws, and apparently he's one of the greatest science fiction writers ever. I didn't
know him, but he wrote... So iRobot, I've seen iRobot, but it's been almost 20 years. In iRobot,
they talk about these three robot laws. This guy wrote, I guess, he didn't write the movie,
but he wrote maybe a short novel that they based the movie off of in iRobot., I guess, he didn't write the movie, but he wrote maybe a short novel
that they based the movie off of.
And I, Robot. So I guess he's a
big deal. I just didn't know him.
The movie was a flop, though, huh?
I don't think so.
Wasn't Will Smith in it? Yeah, but I thought it was a real flop.
I don't know. I think it probably made some money.
I think it did, too.
I mean, it was a famous,
like it's a... We've all heard it
I think when Will Smith
Was doing the movie
I don't
He just didn't make
He ain't gonna make a flop
Then
Yeah
I was gonna try to rewatch it
To see but
I didn't
But I think the three laws
Kind of
To Nate's point
They don't
They don't work out
Like they're supposed to
Yeah
120 million dollar budget
Worldwide
It made 353 million so probably not as well as
they thought it would do but it's still not a flop still made over 120 million but not great
though yeah not you know not avatar right right yeah i mean yeah it costs 120 million dollars I mean you just go like who the prices are who's doing the prices
yeah I mean what how do you budget out 120 million dollars I don't know like it's just
I know I mean I get stuff adds up I mean I I know on a small scale of production
that we do like I get it adds up and it's like, but I mean, for something that big,
how do you even go?
This will be about
$120 million.
How could you ever
even say that?
And a huge portion
of that's marketing, right?
Don't they say that's like
50% of it or something?
Maybe even more than that.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Word of mouth is the,
you know,
best marketing you can get.
Makes them good.
Nate Wagner, in regards to the robots A1 AI discussion.
Steak sauce.
Robots in the steak sauce discussion.
What are your guys' thoughts in regards to Roko's Basilisic thought experiment?
Basilisk.
Balisisk.
Basilisik.
Basilisk.
Roko.
Roko's.
Roko.
Roko's Basilisik.
Is that it?
I mean, I think, yeah.
Basilisik.
Basil.
Basilisk. Basilisk. Basil. Il. Basilisk.
Basilisk.
Basilisk is what I thought.
What are you saying?
I say basilisk, but I'm thinking of the Harry Potter term basilisk.
Here we go.
Harry Potter.
Oh, let's.
Basilisk.
Basilisk.
That's a robot saying. I don't know if I believe that.
It's AI
saying it.
Roko's Basilisk
is a thought experiment which states
that an otherwise benevolent AI
in the future would be incentivized
to create a virtual
reality simulation to torture
anyone who knew of its potential existence
but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development.
It's basically saying once AI starts running things,
if we didn't help it out to get where it was going as much as possible,
it's going to torture us.
And just like get you out of the way.
You're just a waste.
You're a means to an end.
Or punish us.
AI is demons.
I mean, it totally is. Yeah. You bobby boucher's mom i mean it's not the devil but it is demons yeah
but we created well that we we claimed to we summoned it probably
we called it up basilix it was in the bullpen warming up and we,
yeah.
Yeah.
I mean,
we made the call.
We made the call.
We didn't create it.
Get them warmed up.
Yeah.
Uh,
yeah.
What's his,
I don't know.
It's pretty complicated.
It's very complicated.
I try to read it and understand it.
What's a thought experiment.
I mean,
that's like people get paid for that,
right?
Think tank.
Oh yeah. They just get a, experiment? I mean, that's like... People get paid for that, right? Think tank. Oh, yeah.
They just get a, you know...
Well, this just originated from a post on a message board.
Yeah.
So this is not like...
This doesn't come from a formal scientific paper or anything.
So meaning he just put it out there.
So is the guy's name Rosick?
Is that his name, Roko?
Roko.
Is this the guy's name Rosic? Is that his name? Roko? Roko. Is the guy's name?
Yeah.
Roko.
Roko's the thought experiments names arise from the poster of the article, Roko, and the Basilisk, a mythical creature capable of destroying enemies with its stare.
Which is exactly how the Basilisk works in Harry Potter, by the way.
Just so everybody knows.
the basilisk works in harry potter by the way just so everybody knows in the future there would be instead of the creative virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its
potential existence uh yeah i don't know what's the it's all this stuff seems crazy to me like
it's like while the theory was initially dismissed you're like why would it even be dismissed if it's a thought experiment?
Like, who would go, I'm going to have a thought experiment.
And he says it.
You go, dismissed.
Get out of here.
And you go, well, we're just talking.
Like, the point of it is we're supposed to talk.
And he goes, no, dismissed.
Dismissed.
And then, like, two weeks later, he goes, God, I can't get that thought.
That thing you brought up in my head, I can't get it out.
You know what?
I'm going to, yeah, it was nothing but conjecture. I don you know what i'm gonna uh yeah there's nothing but
conjecture i don't know the conjecture was that's like nonsense yeah uh nothing but nonsense or
speculation you're like well it's a thought experiment the whole point of a thought experiment
is speculation right yeah that's the whole yeah because what is that speculation i mean what are
we doing dude we're in a think tank. Like, all it is is speculation.
They reported users who described symptoms such as nightmares and metal breakdowns upon reading the theory.
Due to its stipulation that knowing about the theory and its basilisk made one vulnerable to the basilisk itself.
That would be a demon, not a rogue.
A1, you better have Jesus.
An A1.
A1. A1. Yeah, that better have Jesus. An A1. Yeah. Some A1.
A1 sticks.
Yeah, that would be A1.
Yeah.
It's that important.
We should say A1 instead of.
Yeah, really cut it down.
So we don't.
Bring it down a notch.
Yeah.
Big fan of A1 too.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
I like 57 better.
I used to put it on corn.
I don't do it.
I could put it on corn.
I just put it on rice back in the day.
Oh, yeah.
When I was.
A little potato. Let's go with potatoes too. Yeah. Like a little mashed potato. Come on. I would put it on corn I just put it on rice back in the day Oh yeah when I was Potatoes Like a little mashed potato
I would do it
I would do that
I like it on rice
But not potatoes
I didn't have potatoes
I could drink it probably
If I had one of the
Condiment I could maybe drink That be the one you of the condiment, I could maybe drink.
That'd be the one you'd take?
I think I could.
I think I could get it down.
Like Heinz, I think, would be a lot on its own, and I love Heinz.
A1, I think I could drink.
A1's the most viscous.
Like, it'd be the easiest to drink.
Yeah.
What's that?
Viscosity.
Liquidity.
It's like ballistic.
Rocos?
Yeah. Rocos. Yeah, I think A Uh-huh. Rokos? Yeah. Rokos.
Yeah, I think A1 I could give. Rokos A1.
I like Heinz 57 a lot, too.
Now, I do Heinz 57 more than I do
A1 now, but I'm saying
if I had to drink it back at the
day when you have no money and you're
you know, I would eat
just a can of corn and put A1
in it, and I loved it.
Loved it.
I think technically it's the least viscous.
I just looked at it.
Wow.
Either way, viscosity is important.
It's more liquidy, right?
Yeah, viscosity is a resistance to flow.
Yeah.
So a ketchup would be highly viscous.
Yes, because it doesn't want to come out.
Yeah, it doesn't work like water is not viscous.
Oh, yeah.
A1's the most.
Very thin. You can barely keep it in
that's what i'm saying yeah that's what i meant i just got the words mixed up yeah that was and i'm
sorry less viscous it may be maybe be dales you should be more viscous and not just say everything
out of your mouth uh vassalus what was this this means it doesn't come out good if something's viscous highly viscous
that means it's resistant to being poured that's what i mean flow yeah that's what your
your word should be that okay you shouldn't just let them flow out like a1 you should
you should have to do a couple
paps in the back of your head you Yeah, you really want to hit the 57.
You just go, well,
and then you're like, sorry guys, I'm wrong.
You know, just give it a little.
So out of those 300 hours, he should back off the 75. Yeah, 75 is too much.
But look what we've learned. Now we've all learned
about this. I know. I love that this guy
wants to know our thoughts on this thought experiment,
which is the scariest thing in humanity.
A1, so now I'm saying AI
tortured us and we go into a five minute rant
about which steak sauce we could drink the best.
I don't know if this is something we're
particularly equipped to talk about.
It's all made up. I mean, this thought stuff
is, you know, what are we doing?
But that is what we think about.
I would like to.
That's what we think.
To think
thoughts and all that stuff. I would like to I love it. That's why I love it. That's what we think. The think, the think,
think,
thoughts and all that stuff.
Uh,
I would like to,
I'd like to like be in charge of that just to like,
I think there's a lot of extra money being spent for no reason.
I think there's a lot.
That's what I,
that's,
you know,
you want to go back to the top of the shipping is I think you're in that
world.
Now there's a lot more thought than there is actual doing now.
It's all just thought and talking.
Who even comes up with this?
How crazy do you even come up with that idea to be like,
what about robots?
What if they torture us?
And you go, what do you got in your mind?
And then it's all speculation.
And then you're like, well, now I've got it in my head.
I think, are they going to torture?
And you're like, why did you even, what would make you go to that?
We don't even have, like, it's whenever they came up with this when did they come up with
this uh i mean it was a message board so it's pretty recently it was just on a message board
yeah so they're even like how are we even so this has made it to like the books yeah 2010 there's a
2010 post and it's in books now people are like talking about it's got a whole wikipedia entry what's this thing you're showing us here this uh this is a visual depiction of a mythical basilisk
yeah so look at that thing and tell me that what i said earlier is crazy i mean come on but they
have a sword but they can beat you with a stare what do you do you just not look at them in the
eyes serpent looking don't look at them in the eye? A serpent looking thing. Don't look at them in the eye. What animal do you not look in the eye?
There was an animal I just watched
that said, don't look them in the eye. A penguin?
A bear. A grizzly bear.
Grizzly bear, they're like, don't look it in the eye.
I saw someone walking away from one the other day.
Where were you?
No, I get sent
bear videos constantly.
I saw a guy walking away from a bear.
I saw a video and they go,
and you just hear some lady in the back.
She goes,
don't look him in the eye.
It's such a funny,
like they can't,
you know,
they just,
someone's like,
then it's,
once someone says that,
you're like,
now all I want to do is look this bear in the eye.
So how do I not,
you know,
some dogs,
they say,
don't make eye contact with.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Who says that people
have said it to me dog experiment dog trainers say that it's more of a you thing yeah
i went to the nashville zoo brian go ahead
i was being too vis what's the word viscous no you were not being
yeah no you were being you're being too viscous no viscous means no you're being no viscous no you were not being yeah no you were being you're being too viscous no viscous
means nothing come out you're being no viscous at all i need to be more viscous we need to put
a top on it we need to increase your viscous well it's already coming out now so i'll finish it uh
i went to the nashville zoo i saw uh cass cass or if i was cassowary cassowary yeah and i'll say
this it was the only bird most birds you know at the zoo they're just you can almost touch them
there's some of the lana this one had its own special cage make sure it couldn't get out yeah And I'll say this, it was the only bird, most birds, you know, at the zoo, they're just, you can almost touch them.
There's some, the Atlanta, this one had its own special cage, make sure it couldn't get out. Yeah.
I'm in love with the Kessler.
Yeah.
They were worried about it.
They were leaving.
I went to the bathroom and I'm there at the urinal and they have a giant snake in the glass above it.
And this thing comes down.
I have a little video of this.
I don't usually get out my phone and start filming in the bathroom, but, And it comes down and gets right in front of me, like in my face.
And it just starts staring at me.
And the guy who works at the zoo was there.
And he's like, I've never seen this.
He's like, usually they just lay up there and sleep.
He must have a real issue with you.
Yeah.
They have a snake just in front of the ear?
Oh, yeah.
Just don't say where. Okay. Anybody listening? It's in front of the... Oh, yeah. Just don't... Yeah.
Just go.
Don't say where.
Okay.
Because it's... Anybody listening...
It's in front of the Earth.
I know, but you don't know where the bathroom is.
Yeah.
It's in the park.
Don't tell me where the bathroom is.
There's multiple bathrooms.
There's a bathroom inside the park and there's a snake inside it.
Oh, that's cool.
I'm just saying don't just...
Everybody...
But go check every bathroom.
If you go to the National Zoo, it's fun.
Just look at the bathroom at the zoo.
If you don't tell someone, I went in there and I saw it for the first time.
You, I mean, go, what is it?
Like, I mean, you don't expect it.
And it's right there.
It's kind of crazy.
I think it's a great idea.
Oh, yeah.
I think it's a great idea of where to put a snake because, I mean, it makes you scared.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like it.
What do you think, Dusty?
Well, I think it's interesting that that snake did that to you.
Where are we at on animal attacks?
Do we need to do?
Yeah, we could do a round.
It's coming for you.
All right.
Let me.
Taylor Smith.
All right.
Let me... Taylor Smith.
I specialize in robotic surgery,
and I was really hoping to hear all of the imaginative theories
y'all have about having surgery with a robot.
You do it with a robot?
At least the robot's not hung over.
You know what I mean?
I'm for it.
Yeah, I'm for it.
Oh, I don't...
What is this?
I don't want to see that.
This is a great...
Okay.
Yeah. There are videos on YouTube of a human body being worked on i figure you'd rather watch the great yeah i don't even know if i like that this is how precise and exact it is it's it's it's
taken off the uh the skin of a grape oh wow two little claws here i mean it's that gentle i do
that with my teeth sometimes and is the guy controlling it
or is he just tell her what to do i think they are controlling it oh that's gross why do they
make this great thing gross i don't think it's that gross it is gross you don't know what you
oh god i mean it looks like an eyeball i guess guess it does a little bit like an eyeball.
I mean, oh, gosh.
You're walking in there.
Are you kidding me?
Yeah, that is crazy.
But I guess if Taylor Smith specializes in robotic surgery,
this is happening on a high level already.
They're doing this on people.
Well, Taylor didn't get very far.
I mean, it's pretty low.
I don't know.
Yeah, I guess they're having to. I guess you you would ask that he goes to the robot but i mean what's the guy
book how that robot gonna look like you still want him to look like a doctor put a white coat on him
yeah i mean you don't want like a carnival worker a union guy back there like
he just reps the the lawnmower start.
And he goes,
and you're like,
what is this?
He goes,
he's got knee surgery.
He's got bad knees.
And then he just puts on goggles and they go,
you'll be fine.
It's a robot.
Yeah.
The robot shuts the door.
But it's like remote control.
Don't start.
Huh?
But it's a remote control. So somebody,. Huh? But it's a remote control.
So somebody still think that.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, he gets jittery.
Yeah.
No, I think you just type in, hey, this guy needs to have knee surgery.
So you would go knee surgery on this guy.
And then, right?
Here's a visualization of how it works.
This guy's.
No, no, no.
This is an animation.
Oh, this guy does it.
a visualization of how it works this guy's no no no this is oh this guy does it so this guy's got little things on his fingers and he's he's in front of a machine doing it yeah but what if he
oh i don't like that oh yeah i don't like that yeah well i don't mean even what the video is i
mean i don't like the guy but he's yeah i'm betting there are safeguards in place where he can't he
can't slip up and poke you.
You know, someone brings a snake above a urinal and you go, and now your ACL's gone.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, I don't know.
Dusty, would you rather have a massage from a robot or a man?
A robot.
Over a man. Yeah. But not a woman. A robot. Over a man.
Yeah.
But not a woman.
You'd have a woman.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
So it would be woman, robot, man.
Yes.
All right.
And you might even fit other kind of things in between.
It might be woman, robot, and just I won't do a massage.
Yeah.
Penguin.
Yeah.
Anything.
Yeah.
A demon.
I'll do a woman. I'll do a woman.
I'll do a robot.
And then other than that,
I'll just not do one.
All right.
Hmm.
Uh,
it's probably a pretty cool job for that guy.
Taylor Smith.
Uh,
congrats on that.
Now that is crazy though.
I wonder,
they do,
they do,
they just type in like,
do you go, I'm going to, oh, I guess they're doing it.
I got to download ACL replacement, you know, real quick,
and then load it all in.
No, I think it's just, right here,
it lists the advantages of robotic surgery.
You can operate in spaces smaller than a human hand,
so you can get into areas that you couldn't.
What's the disadvantages, though?
Oh, they don't list that on here.
Yeah. This is a video don't list that on here.
This is a video trying to sell us on it.
Robots might have got them on their own.

The other guy is...
Well, Michael Clark Duncan's dead now,
but Ving Rhames' Mission Impossible.
Pulp Fiction.
Oh, yeah.
Michael Clark Duncan, the Green Mile.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
They do look exactly alike.
Yeah, they look very similar.
They're like huge dudes.
Talladega Knights, too. Yeah. Michael Clark Duncan. Don't you put that evil on me. Yeah, they do look exactly like that. Yeah, they look very similar. They're like huge dudes. Talladega Knights, too.
Yeah.
Michael Clark.
Don't you put that evil on me.
Yeah, yeah.
Michael Clark is that guy.
Yeah.
And then, yeah.
Yeah.
And then the dude from Gladiator.
Oh, yeah.
Steve Buscemi.
Yeah, it's great.
I mean, all these people, well, I won't ruin it if you think you might watch it.
I don't think I ever will.
Don't ruin it.
I'll re-watch it.
A man living in a futuristic sterile colony begins to question his circumscribed existence
when his friend is chosen to go to the island, the last uncontaminated place on Earth.
All right.
Sounds pretty good.
It's great.
It's good.
It's a good log line.
Yeah.
Courtney Little.
When we moved from Tennessee to boston the local grocery chain nearest
had a security robot named marty that would follow you around closely and say patrolling every few
minutes very annoying and always in the way it was pretty scuffed up and we asked an employee about
it he said that they regularly had to deal with annoyed customers punching it. I have to say, it was a humorous sight to see elderly men cursing at a robot that came to their knees in a thick Boston accent.
Wow.
Yeah.
Here's Marty rolling through the giant food store.
I mean, that would be so annoying.
They put big googly eyes on it.
Yeah.
Oh.
And what's it doing?
Checking for shoplifters well i think you can do it can
do a lot of things at once i know in in at the walmart's in arkansas where they have these
roaming around they're cleaning the floor and they're scanning inventory at the same time
and they're probably videotaping you and doing all that kind of stuff
yeah i mean it is going to be what are people going to do for jobs stand up come build the robots i know but i think you're going to be
you're not going to want to go into a place like that like that's where the humans it is crazy to
think is humans you're like hey we all got to stick together because you're going to end up
just being like oh i'll just hire i'll just build a building a building. And I mean, you're going to eventually,
but someone's going to be like, I got a grocery store.
I've never stepped foot in it.
There's not a human being that's in it except, you know.
And so, but then what jobs do people get?
Look at these people.
Yeah.
But they put googly eyes on it.
It's fun.
You know, that's how they get you.
Put a whole party hat on it.
At the TV station I worked at,
they replaced all the studio camera operators with just robotic cameras.
Really?
And they programmed the shots, and then the cameras just, you know, move around on their own.
Yeah.
I mean, you could get rid of these guys now.
Mm-hmm.
Technology's there.
Technology's there.
See ya.
This carpet might make it tough.
Mm-hmm.
Tom Eaton.
Uh, this carpet might make it tough.
Tom Eaton, in spite of his struggles with formal logic, I suspect that Aaron might have excellent excelled.
Aaron might have excelled in informal logical fallacies while in school.
It is more concept and vocobulary.
Vocabulary is what I meant to say.
Yeah.
It's more concept and vocabulary based than it is math based. In fact, what makes comedy work is the comedian's overdeveloped sense of practical logic in pointing out the many common logical fallacies in modern society i.e the leap from
nathan to nathaniel okay yeah i like that was a deep paragraph there i got lost big words
it's just a normal conversation to you those kind of words yeah you see how all day you see those
words tom and i need to start our own podcast yeah Yeah. That's what it feels like. Is that what it's like at home?
It's just a lot of that.
Yeah.
It's just the concept, the logical.
You're just modern society.
A lot of that stuff.
My sister and my dad, that's how they talk.
That's how they talk.
Yeah.
Is that a class, logical fallacies?
It's something you learn.
You've heard a lot, like red herrings and false dichotomy, that kind of stuff.
I think y'all don't want to work.
And so you just talk yourselves to death.
That's what I think.
It's like, you're like, well, we want to go do it.
You go, no, no, that's a thought experiment.
That's a think tank.
It's all things that you're like, well, I don't want to actually go do something.
And so there are people, the scientists that are doing stuff for the people that want to work yeah and then everybody
else there's just a bunch that's like well we have a job we just talk about it and then we bring the
idea to a guy that will do it and then we go what about uh roku's basilisic and you're like
but he's saying you're even doing this.
Nate,
you'd like that.
I remember very early on.
I was,
I heard a comic just talking about like how they write jokes and they say,
I see something that's ridiculous.
And then I,
to show why that's ridiculous.
I just apply that logic to something else,
which is a lot of what you do too.
I think that's all he's saying there.
I do what I do. I don't know all he's saying there i do what i do i
don't know if i ever thought about that i didn't yeah i don't know if you could uh i don't think
that'd be a good comic if that's what they if they knew how to do it like that if they broke it down
you can't think of it i don't think mathematically they could be a good comic but it would be
i don't you you gotta to have some, you know.
I agree.
But you say that there's just a term for what you're doing.
There is a term, yeah.
In the movie Comedian, Jerry and Colin Quinn are talking about think tanks.
Yeah.
It's very funny.
Yeah.
I think Colin Quinn was like, you want to go to lunch or something like that?
And he's like.
Yeah, let me finish up one thing.
Hold on, hold on.
We're working on this.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's great.
And I'm a fake Fiji.
Is that real Fiji or fake Fiji this time?
Fake Fiji.
Yeah, you can tell.
I've been using this bottle for about three weeks.
And they're plastic stuff now, people talking about that.
Oh, yeah.
What is it?
Something.
Well, you know, I bought a farmer's almanac. There you go. uh and they're plastic stuff now people talking about that oh yeah what is it something well you
know i bought a farmer's almanac and in the back of the farmer's on almanac it has a breakdown of
like you know when you see the little symbol on the on the plastic it has a number inside of it
and that number it tells you what it means in the farmer's almanac so i have the shaker bottle
and then underneath the bottle it says safe for human
consumption you know when you translate the code but then the top the plastic says known to cause
heart or uh cause uh heart disease and something else do not in california that's what it says
sometimes it's like only in california But it says do not use for food.
But it's like, so the bottle they can sell and say it's safe because the top is not safe.
I'm still using it.
I don't know what to do.
But.
I think you'll be okay.
Because the glass is real heavy if you try to carry that around. I've got some copper bottles, but that gets a little weird.
Copper bottles.
Because copper, you're supposed to put a little water in there,
and then in the copper, you drink the copper,
and it's supposed to have some vitamin and mineral stuff for you.
Like copper, probably?
Yeah.
Like just put a pin in your mouth?
Yeah, just suck on a penny.
Yeah.
Any coin, really.
Don't put a coin in your mouth. please don't kids are listening yeah yeah if you're a kid you probably don't need the copper yeah no no you have enough copper
uh josh james i like how if nate doesn't immediately understand the practical
application for a piece of knowledge he thinks the whole thing is a sham. I mean, if a stand-up comedian can't figure out
why you need or want to know formal logic,
like, I don't know that idiot Aristotle,
then there is absolutely no reason
for anyone on earth to ever use it.
Nate may be the perfect example
of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
What is the Dunning-Kruger effect?
We've talked about it before.
Here's the Wikipedia description.
It's people with low ability,
expertise, or
experience regarding a type of
task or an area of knowledge tend
to overestimate their ability or knowledge.
Okay.
What'd you say?
That's not nice. That's not really a nice really a nice thing you don't want to be in it
uh people with so i have a low ability expertise or experience regarding a type or of task
tend to overstate their ability so it's like they're saying like someone doesn't know what
they're doing they over act like they don't like somebody who's never played golf is like i'm
probably pretty good at golf.
And that just means they're-
That's not, there's no way that's Dunning-Kruger effect.
He's writing like, if I don't understand something, I'm like, why are we even doing it?
This think tank, like, does anybody even need to do it?
That's not that though.
That's like, I don't over, like, I'll tell you if I can't do something.
Yeah.
My whole act is me not knowing how to do stuff.
That's all I'm talking about.
I don't think you're a good example of it.
I'm the opposite example.
Maybe this guy is a good example of that on this.
He thinks he's an expert on the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Flipped it on him.
Yeah, the converse of this is you actually underestimate your ability or knowledge,
which means you actually have high ability, expertise, and experience.
Yeah, the most.
It's the Kerber Dunning effect.
Yeah.
I affected them.
Yeah.
I mean, a lot of it is trying to be entertaining, so you'll just go, yeah, yeah, it all makes sense.
Yeah, that's true too it's like no one like wants to hear comedy about someone being like yeah my life is really great everything's
wonderful i know how to do everything i have everything yeah you know yeah that's not as fun
on the news they always say why are you guys always man on the street always the biggest
idiots you always choose interview well? Well, those are people who
will be willing to talk because
they don't know anything, but they'll give you their opinion on stuff.
I think that would be the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Yes. But also, rarely do you want
to see a man on the street where a guy asks a
question, the person answers it perfectly.
Great. Get some alright.
Just learn some information.
You want to be able to go.
Yeah, the dunning, it's overconfidence.
It's someone that just doesn't know what they're doing, but they go, I'll just act like I know what I'm doing.
Right?
I think it's they literally don't even know their act, like they really believe it.
Yeah, but that doesn't make any sense because if I'm saying no one needs it to do it at all that's an I'm an extremist
but also
that's not saying I don't understand
these things where he goes
that idiot Aristotle
I always think about that
it's like
I don't know
that guy could have been an idiot
I don't know what he was up to
you know what I mean
he might have had some good ideas
here and there
but maybe the rest of his life
maybe he couldn't even tie his shoes
I don't know what he was up to
yeah
yeah
he was he did some weird stuff but he was very very smart in some areas i
would imagine yeah i mean in all who knows could he drive a car i don't know could he tell a joke
i don't think he could drive a car see that's what i'm saying exactly right uh could he go to the moon? Doubt it. I think people should know
formal logic.
Go learn it.
It's good.
Is that what you failed?
Yeah, that's what I failed.
You should know it, Aaron.
You should know it.
It's apparently very important.
Darren Parrish.
I am a high school geometry teacher
I'm able to give a basic understanding of logic
With this spider statement
Assume all spiders have eight legs
Is true
Then if you know the black widow
Is a spider
Then you know it has eight legs
But if you know the black widow has eight legs
You cannot prove it is a spider
With the first statement
You could say the black widow may be another animal With eight legs, you cannot prove it is a spider with the first statement. You could say the Black
Widow may be another animal with
eight legs like a scorpion.
Yeah. I don't think a
scorpion has eight legs, though, does it? Yeah, they do.
Yeah. Do they? All spiders have eight
legs. It's an arachnid. Is it?
Mm-hmm.
Predatory
arachnids. We learned that on a previous
episode. Okay. I wish this was in the first 100 episodes.
Okay, I see.
Yeah, not in the last 50.
I think you were sitting right there.
Let's see a picture.
Of a scorpion?
Yeah.
This is just saying, like,
scorpions also have eight legs.
So, you know.
But if you know the black widow has eight legs,
you cannot prove it is a spider with the first statement.
You can't just say all spiders have...
If all you know is all spiders have eight legs, then if you is a spider with the first statement. You can't just say all spiders have. All you know is all spiders have eight legs.
Then if you see a spider, you know it has eight legs.
Yeah.
But you don't know the converse of that.
You don't know that everything with eight legs is a spider.
But it has six legs and the pinchers, right?
It doesn't have eight legs.
No, I think it's got eight.
Let's take a look at it right here.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
It's got.
Yeah.
So technically it has 10. I mean. Well, you're not counting the a look at it right here. Okay. All right. All right. It's got, yeah. So technically it has 10.
I mean.
Well, you're not counting the pinchers.
The pinchers.
You can use them.
And if you fall over, you can balance with them.
Yeah.
But they're not.
So your arms you can balance with, but you don't count them as.
Well, we don't walk on all fours.
Yeah, but that's their, all their legs.
But our arms, those are way closer to the ground than our arms are.
Because they're closer to the ground.
That's what I'm saying. That's like saying their
tail is also a leg.
Well, they could.
This blows my mind, though. I always thought a scorpion
was six legs and then the pinchers.
That's blowing my mind.
It's blowing my mind right now.
You're in the killing bugs business.
Well, when you spray them, it doesn't matter
how many legs they have.
killing bugs business.
Well, when you spray them, it doesn't matter how many bugs they have.
Mr. Matthews27.
Dusty made a comment about dinosaurs
that went unnoticed.
He said, maybe they were birds all along.
This is kind of a conspiracy
that I fully believe. I think the T-Rex's
arms were placed
the wrong way when it was first discovered.
Now, we all imagine them as having little arms.
However, if you rotate them backwards, they look like the bones of all over birds facing backwards.
What?
I think it's supposed to say other.
Oh.
They look like bones of other.
All other birds.
All other birds facing backwards.
I believe all dinosaurs were just large birds and not the scary reptiles we have all been shown growing up.
Well, I agree.
A lot of these comments go unnoticed, but that is-
I noticed it.
That is-
It shows not to.
But it's like, think about that though, right?
Like they've told us that dinosaurs eventually evolved into birds, but it's like, what if-
All we're finding is bones.
How would they know that?
What if they were always birds? How do they know the skin?
They never were dinosaurs. Do you know the skin?
Yeah, I don't know how they would know that.
You ever seen the skin of a bird without feathers on it?
Yeah. Looks pretty rough.
But I mean, how would you know the skin
of a dinosaur?
I say you wouldn't.
Yeah.
I think they can make inferences about
the body based on the shape of it.
They can tell whether it was warm-blooded or cold-blooded based on how compact the body is.
Yeah.
That's my guess.
But warm-blooded is...
Like a mammal.
Yeah, no, but what's a reptile look that's warm-blooded?
There aren't any.
That's part of it.
So then they're saying they're all...
Are dinosaurs cold-blooded?
I think so, right?
How would they know that?
That's what I'm saying.
I don't know.
Is your blood cold?
I think they found birds and they were...
I think they found a cassowary.
Is it warm blood and cold blood?
Literally, your blood is cold or warm.
It's your internal temperature.
You're like cold on the inside.
They're dinosaurs.
Yeah.
They lay eggs too.
I mean,
these are birds going full on birds.
Here's another logic right here.
Dinosaurs are reptiles,
though.
Not all reptiles are dinosaurs,
obviously.
Yeah.
They're vertebrates and cold blooded.
Oh, yeah. Maybe some of those, some of
them were reptiles they were finding,
and some were birds. That's what I'm saying.
I'm out on dinosaurs altogether
now, I think.
I've been hanging one foot in,
but I'm out on them altogether now.
They were just birds.
It's just silly stuff.
How do we know dinosaurs are reptiles?
Just some fantasy they want us to live in I don't know
It's not much of a fun
It doesn't really affect our day-to-day life
It does though
I don't think it does
I don't think about dinosaurs
Really
Like tomorrow
I don't think I'll think about them at all
I'll text you
Remind you
About dinosaurs.
I did learn something from Aaron, though.
I overheard you telling some comics this at Zany's.
When we fall asleep and we have that feeling like we're falling.
Yeah.
That's evolutionary.
What?
Way to protect ourselves?
When we were primates in trees.
To prevent us from falling out of trees.
That there's some internal balance mechanism.
You ever been laying in bed about to sleep and then you just get like a, almost like
an electrical shock.
Yeah.
That's what that is.
That's what they say.
Yeah.
So that's still in there.
Yeah.
I find that interesting.
Yeah.
One day it'll be gone.
I hope so.
It's pretty annoying.
I deal with it a lot.
You fall asleep sitting up a lot, huh?
No, I got ear problems.
That throws off my balance a lot, internal balance.
In bed?
Wherever, dude.
Like, I mean, where are you falling asleep that you jerk like that?
It's just in my bed, yeah.
Maybe my head's off to the side a little bit of the bed,
and I think I'm falling out of a tree.
I'll jolt back awake.
I got a lot going on.
You got the
CPAP machine. I'm struggling.
I'm just trying to rest. Like sleep is
danger for you. You go to bed.
I stay alert.
Something happens, I'll be ready.
Like an A1, you go to bed with just like, you get a helmet like Darth Vader.
You get put down.
You look like Han Solo when he's frozen.
Yeah.
Carbonite.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do I need to do this?
Yeah.
Hello, fresh.
Hello, folks.
Hello, fresh. Hello, fresh. do i do this yeah uh hello fresh hello folks to hello fresh uh hello fresh we use it uh
and by we i mean laura uses it uh we love it laura i mean she makes a ton of meals with
herself or she just ordered this food and they have a little picture of it and then she does
it good serving size for me honestly with the calorie stuff. That's always fun.
HelloFresh is great.
I mean, I know a million people eat this.
It's 40 weekly recipes to choose from for all meal occasions,
lifestyles, and preferences.
You know, you get to feel like a chef.
Yeah.
Because you're like, you ain't going to make this kind of stuff like this. And you get like kind of a cool kind of variety thing we are
giant fans hello fresh is cheaper than shopping at the grocery store and 25 less expensive than
takeout uh we love hello fresh saving time is key and the recipes are not hard to follow
and most of their meals are quick so we can uh what day did you come up with it
Miller Mills are quick so we can... What day did you come up with it?
Day of the show.
I've been holding on to it for a while.
April 15th.
So the reason we're doing concerts is so I can try that joke.
I have nothing about concerts.
I just want to try that joke out.
Do you remember the first concert you went to?
Michael W. Smith.
How old were you?
I don't know if I remember that.
12 or 13.
Yeah, you were a kid
Starwood
Old Starwood
Or an amphitheater
Which became
Didn't become Fontenelle
Or is that different?
No
Starwood was its own
Yeah
Starwood was out at
Antioch area
Oh okay
Yeah
I saw Toby Keith
At Opryland
When I was a little kid
Oh yeah
Yeah
How old were you?
I don't know.
Probably 12, 13, 14, somewhere around there.
You went to go see him or you just happened to?
We weren't a real concert family.
We were at Opryland.
My mom was a big Toby Keith fan,
but this was probably one album out of Toby Keith.
This is not, he was not the superstar he is now.
So you saw him up and coming. Oh oh that's cool yeah my mom was in the toby keith fan club oh really yeah she had a whole
she you know this was back when film camera you know she has a whole little
film of just toby keith photos that she took just at a concert or yeah and then behind backstage where she met him
and oh wow that's cool still a big fan yeah we love toby keith i mean i did a bunch of videos
about talking about toby keith songs and people were jumping in there like oh i'm here for the
toby keith hate and i'm like i love toby keith i'm just making fun of some of the songs yeah yeah
have you met him uh i don't think I met him.
Yeah.
I might have met him there that day.
I don't think so, though.
Met him where?
At the Aqualand.
No, I'm talking about now.
Oh, no, no.
Yeah.
No, I've never run it.
I met quite a few country stars,
but never Toby Keith.
Yeah, yeah.
I wish I would, though.
That'd be great.
Yeah.
Well, is this what Star Wars
is going to be?
Is this the theater right here?
Yeah. Yeah, that looks pretty fun. That's where I saw New Kids. That'd be great. Is this what Star Wars Amphitheater is right here? Yeah.
That looks pretty fun.
That's where I saw new kids on the block.
Really?
It was super fun.
I went there a few times.
I think I saw Kid Rock there.
Going from Michael W. Smith to Kid Rock.
Yeah.
Growing up.
Growing up.
But you'd stay in the grass.
I mean, it's awesome.
It really was awesome.
I don't know why they closed.
That was like a very old Nashville thing that they just went away.
But they have something new now?
Well, there's that one new – well, there's a few new –
The Ascend.
There's one downtown.
Yeah.
There's one down in Williamson County.
I think they're – I mean, they're building them all the time now.
I'm looking at Dusty like he knows the construction permits.
Yeah, I've been to a handful of concerts, so I don't know a bunch about the amphitheaters.
Yeah.
I kind of figured you were a concert guy.
Nah, I mean, I like music.
I mean, I've been to a lot of local shows.
When I was first starting comedy, I used to try to open for my friends' bands all the time.
What was your first concert?
I saw Guster.
You guys know the band Guster?
Yeah.
I saw them.
Do you really?
I know who they are.
I saw them eighth grade.
Drove up to Birmingham with my friend Jimmy Dugan.
I remember we saw Gus.
We loved Guster back then.
How old was Jimmy?
We went up with his mom.
Oh, okay.
Two eighth graders hit the road.
My friend Jimmy was 38 at the time.
I drove up as a 12-year-old.
Jimmy should be reported.
We were two eighth graders, and we went up with his mom and saw the band what's uh what is it guster guster who are they they've been around forever they
started early 90s yeah they're kind of like i don't know they're like a kind of a hippie type
band is there what's their famous song or they've had they've had a few nothing super yeah super big
yeah the drummer plays hand plays the
bongos and i was a drummer and i thought that was fascinating that their drummer just played
hand drums yeah even like you use the word fascinating right there that's like an educated
i would have said that i thought that was so cool and you said fascinating and you said i thought
as a kid yeah probably yeah it's crazy
i'm not even really making fun of it just like that's like a moment i didn't i couldn't have
thought less about how i said it just as a kid yeah i'm yeah and that was it still was very cool
yeah but you say i don't ever use fascinating all right like i would or i would say it just
say i'd be like i thought that was so cool you'd say it's unbelievable i'd say it. I thought that was so cool. You'd say it's unbelievable.
I'd say it's unbelievable.
Yeah.
It could be.
It was all these things, for sure.
These all work.
Yeah.
Just pick your word.
Plug it in.
There's not one Guster song you could hit us with that we might know, though.
You're my satellite.
Never heard that?
No.
I've heard Dave Matthews sing satellite No very different song
But also called satellite
Yeah
Alright we tried
Yeah
Was your
Did you do your first concert
Woodstock
Yeah
No mine was
The
Oak Ridge Boys.
Oh, wow.
Older than Woodstock.
Yeah.
1984, MTSU's Murphy Center.
My mom and I think my aunt went and I tagged along.
It was right after Elvira came out.
This is when Oak Ridge Boys, they were like huge.
My mom and aunt went and I tagged along.
It was trying to be a ladies night
they had to bring
a 40 year old
8 year old
out to the
Oak Ridge Boys
there's some truth
to that
my dad was like
I ain't watching him
so just take him
along with you
I don't know
but Elvira
just come out
it was this huge song
and then their next
it's very funny
right now
their next big song
was called
Bobby Sue it was basically the exact same thing just a woman's name and just throwing in
some some funny lyric i mean there's there's not a lot to it elvira is great though i think that's
a rodney crowell song and it's uh i like that they say uh uh that i've saved up two dollars
and that's how they're gonna get get married. I forget exactly how the lyric goes.
I just want to take her to the Hungry House Cafe.
Yeah, $2.
You know the guy that wrote it?
Well, I don't know him, but Rodney Crowley, he sang it too, yeah.
Giddy up, oom-papa, oom-papa, bow-wow.
Giddy up, oom-papa, oom-papa, bow-wow.
Yeah, it's good.
This was the song I wanted to name Derek Alvara because this song came out,
and we had the record of it, and I would sing it.
So I wanted to name Derek Alvara.
His life would have been pretty different.
It would have been different.
Alvara.
Yeah.
If they let me do it.
Yeah, so Alvara was a big song for us.
$2.
I've never,
I mean,
these words, dude.
You saved up
the last two dollars
and we're going to search
and find that preacher, man.
I really don't know
why music,
I do not,
I would just sing along
to this song
and I would never even think
about what you were saying.
I think a lot of people
are that way,
especially as a kid.
Yeah.
I just know the chorus.
I mean, as a kid.
But you, I mean, every song, like every song, Dusty, you think you could, you're like, were that way especially as a kid yeah i just know the chorus i mean as a kid but you i mean
every song like every song dusty you think you could you're like oh i know what this song's about
well yeah a lot of them i mean i you're into the story yeah i get into it yeah yeah yeah i'm all
about it i mean there's a lot of songs that i stopped listening to i i would listen and i'd go
oh that's what that's about and then i'm out there's some can't do it. There's some Ben Fold songs that I have no idea what they're about,
but I still like it.
Sometimes I find out and I'm like, oh, that was totally different
than what I thought.
That song Brick?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's very bad, isn't it?
It's a pretty dark song.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's got a good sound, though.
Sometimes I try to block it out just to enjoy the song.
Yeah.
Find the instrumental somewhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The karaoke version on youtube
yeah so the largest concert i'll do u.s and in the world in u.s history you may want to guess
metallica uh no the just in the united states garth brooks in new york city yep yep million
people about a million people yep and is that free it's free in Central Park. Free concerts. Free shouldn't count.
I agree. Well, they're there for that.
I know.
Free shouldn't count, though.
It's like Morgan Wallen shouldn't count at Bridgestone.
I'm fine with it counting.
Because he beat it.
I'd have a much different opinion about this
if I couldn't
beat it.
Yeah.
But right now,
count them.
But yeah, I mean,
it's like,
still, he drew the people there.
It's like a weird thing.
I know it is,
but that's the thing,
in Bridgestone,
really,
these people can
sell 70,000 tickets.
So it's just a different thing.
He drew them, but if it cost money would they have
gone though well that's the only thing because you're going to be like it was acoustic and all
this now i think enough people would pay to go to that but yeah i was talking to some musicians
that were you know you're like you can't charge people and not, and just be like, it's just you on a stage doing stuff.
Like, that's, like, that's really unfair.
But I think they could probably.
You know what we just did?
And didn't do nothing?
I mean, we just, we were acoustic.
Yeah, but we're.
It was still a big production.
You had the video and everything.
Yeah, the video.
No, you don't need production.
Comedy is just different.
I don't know.
Like, it's, you don't need production. Comedy's just different. I don't know. You're singing a song.
We never talked about,
we talked a lot about
the Kenny Chesney song
at the end,
but then the song after that,
Sugar Land,
we never talked about that
and it's me.
Yeah.
I don't know if you may have heard it.
I don't know if I,
Because it played
as you were leaving the stage, right?
Yeah, it was a special song
for Nate's parents.
It's kind of just a song of them.
Because it came out.
It's Sugarland, Baby Girl.
Yeah.
And that song came out when I started comedy.
If you heard the song, it's like, it was a song that we,
I remember my mom sending it to me and, you know,
it was like, she's like, this is you.
And I was,
and it was,
I was just starting out comedy.
Yeah.
So I played.
It was a sweet moment.
Yeah.
But this one,
yeah,
that was a big song to play.
That was even more,
like,
important.
But I just,
I did it after.
The Kenny Chesney thing
was the goal
and then
this one after was like,
I don't think most people
even realized it was playing.
And,
I mean, I had to tell Laura to make sure my parents even, because I didn't tell them.
But Laura had to, like, I was like, you need to make sure that they hear this song.
So it was very crazy.
And that's what made my mom cry more.
That's when she cried into Eric Church.
That's how that's when she cried into eric church yeah that's uh no oh eric church was uh he was at the show like i met him now and like he's uh so he came to the show and uh they were
like they put my parents in uh i think they were in the owner's suite watching the show or my mom
and daughter harper and laura and my family and uh so they were in the owner
suite and then Laura's like telling them telling my mom to like listen to the song my mom just
basically cried I think the whole time and then uh she's like crying and like you know the suites
can kind of see each other next to them or if you don't know like you can usually see somebody you can still talk to them
it's not like it's blocked off and then she turned and she's crying and she's like uh you know it's
like oh she goes i'm sorry that's my son down there or whatever and uh she's in there because
like very nice like oh he did great you know she goes i'm eric church and she's like oh hey
i like talked to him but he's like very nice. And she's like, oh, hey. And I talked to him.
And he was, like, very nice.
And, like, she was like, that's great that you, you know, it's awesome.
Yeah, that's cool.
Yeah.
Yeah, so that, yeah, that was, the baby girl thing was a big,
that was, like, you know, kind of wraps a lot of stuff up that night.
So the largest concert ever?
I know this one.
I said, we said Garth Brooks. Well well that's in the u.s oh in
the world yeah uh metallica no no it's not metallic are we gonna know the band you're gonna
have heard it's an artist uh is it uh you too no that's it's a single oh singer oh it's a one
person yeah uh elton john that's good that's a good guess yeah is it it's a it's a one person. Yeah. Elton John. That's a good guess.
That's a very good guess.
Yeah.
It's a dude?
It'll surprise you a little bit, but it is a dude.
Oh, I like it.
It is a dude, but it's a guy you've heard of.
I'm sticking with Metallica.
It's a band.
Very clearly a band.
It's not a band.
Is he American?
I think so.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe.
I don't know.
I'm pretty sure he is.
Billy Joel.
At worst, he's Canadian. At worst. Yeah. I don't know. I'm pretty sure he is. Billy Joel. At worst, he's Canadian.
At worst.
Yeah.
Worst case scenario.
He's North American, we're pretty sure.
Yeah.
Kid Rock?
No.
No.
Oh, no.
That's the most American.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Exactly.
But he's in Detroit, so maybe he slipped up there in Canada for a little bit.
Uh-huh.
I don't know.
Rod Stewart.
Oh, I would never guess that. New Year's Eve. I don't know rod stewart oh i would never get now new year's eve i don't think i think
he's british copacabana beach i think so but you're right yeah 1993 1994 1994 oh he's raised
born and raised in london oh you're wrong yeah oh never mind, that's why I threw Nate off. We gave you some bad advice. This is worst case possible.
Western Hemisphere.
No, that's not.
That's surprising, though.
I know he was a big deal, but I didn't realize. Well, this was a free concert in Rio de Janeiro.
New Year's Eve.
About three and a half million people.
Three and a half million.
Wow.
But free on New Year's.
They might not even know Rod Stewart was going to be there.
Well, this is.
I had a joke about this.
The only reason I know this is because I had a joke about this.
How far back from the stage do you have to be before you're no longer at the show?
Well, did you see that?
Three and a half million feet.
The video I sent you?
Of that concert.
I mean, it's just people up and down the beach.
There's no way.
Yeah.
They're just at the beach.
They're like, oh, there's a concert going on
So we're zooming out here
Yeah
Three and a half million people
Are they gonna zoom out
And show everything
Yeah
When was this
1994
There it is
I mean they're just
And they were there for two songs
Hot Legs
And If You Want My Body
Yeah
Where's he at
Brazil
Brazil
But where's he performing
Oh I have no idea
Yeah
Does it even matter?
There's the stage.
Yeah, by the time the sound gets to you,
the band's three songs ahead of you.
Yeah, they were trapped on the island.
Yeah, did they have speakers, I guess,
going everywhere and video screens everywhere?
They must have had, yeah.
It's 1994, so I don't know.
If you don't have video screens,
then it does not count as a concert.
If they had the video screens going far back,
then it does.
I agree.
And so you need the video screens.
But then that's like a loose, like, hey, how do you even count these people?
How do people count people?
It shouldn't count if it's free.
How do they count?
You have to do samples.
The same way we do any kind of polling.
How many people are in this area?
And then just look at how big
and then apply that to
this.
I always wonder that
New Year's Eve or July 4th, the Nashville
Chamber of Commerce will say there was
100,000 people downtown Nashville.
I'm like, well, how do they know that
when they don't sell tickets?
Who says it?
Like the Nashville Chamber of Commerce.
Or the National Convention. What the Nashville Chamber of Commerce.
What are they?
Or the National Convention.
What is a Chamber of Commerce?
They just act like it's such a simple thing, but now I can't explain it.
They just promote the city and businesses and things like that.
Business owners get together and help each other.
I should have said National Convention in Tourism.
That's probably who does it.
You have to pay to join it, though.
I'm pretty sure.
The Chamber of Commerce?
So anybody can join it?
If you have a business, yeah.
Oh, if you have a business, you can be a part of the Chamber of Commerce?
And you have meetings and stuff?
Yeah.
You have meetings.
You help promote each other.
You help share resources with each other.
And yeah.
I did a show for them not long ago oh really like a lunch show yeah they estimated 14 people i don't know how
they knew that but i guess they looked at sample size yeah they go here's one guy here
and so we spread the area out it looks like it's 14. So a few terms have come from concerts.
Mosh pit.
Mosh pit.
Moshing started in the early 80s.
And did not know this.
When it really became mainstream, there was a band called Fear.
And John Belushi was a huge fan of this band.
He'd seen them in Washington, D.C.
And he'd already left SNL, but he was so big there that he convinced them to let this band. He'd seen them in Washington, DC and he'd already left SNL,
but he was so big there that he convinced them to let this band perform on SNL. And then they
bust in like 30 of their biggest fans from DC and put them up in front of the stage. And they did a
mosh pit on SNL where they're just banging into people and diving and slam dancing and all that. And it got really out of hand.
And, uh, I mean, there it is.
That's on SNL.
Wow.
Yeah.
I mean, it looks insane.
They're all jumping up on the stage.
Yeah.
So a very small version of that was, uh, almost unrelated, but it reminded me when I was in Lexington a few weeks ago.
Yeah.
This woman was sitting in the front and she had to get up and use the bathroom and there's no real clear exit.
She had to like step up on the stage to get off.
Real awkward moment between her and I.
Between her and me.
Yeah.
I mean, we're just, she just stepped up.
I thought she was stepping towards me for a
second she'd step up and then step right back down anyway they're jumping up on the stage and
then jumping off of it made me think of that yeah it's probably a funny moment so this was it was
funny it scared me for a minute yeah this band they let them they let them do a mosh pit yeah i
mean i don't know that lauren michaels Michaels knew what was going to happen, but they let them, yeah, they let them bus in their biggest fans.
And then once the band started performing, these guys just started jumping everywhere.
And I think some stuff was destroyed and some language was live on the air.
I'd say that's a fair bet.
Yeah.
Both of those things.
Is that how their concerts go?
I think so.
I've done it.
I've been in a mosh pit.
You have?
Yeah.
I have too.
Yeah.
I'm not a fan.
I almost got knocked out in a mosh pit.
I have a scar.
I don't know what my parents thought.
Oh, yeah.
They're his.
I have a scar above my eyebrow.
Yeah.
You see it?
A little bit.
You see a little bit there?
Oh, yeah.
It's from a kid rock mosh pit at starwood
wow and laura is right when i met laura yeah you used to have a joke about marriage it's like a
mosh pit yes yeah and uh it was right when i met laura and uh we started dating his work at apple
bees and uh i went get in hit my you right there. It just bleeds and goes.
And so that's why I have a scar there.
What was the song?
I don't know.
You know, probably the main one.
Yeah.
Ball of the Ball.
Yeah.
Probably.
You just felt it.
You got in there.
Yeah.
I don't know what it is.
There's something.
It's like, it's just the chaos of it is like.
It's cathartic.
Yeah.
I guess there's something, you know.
He was about to say that.
Cathartic.
Yeah. It is fun, but yeah, I guess there's something, you know. He was about to say that. Cathartic. Yeah, it's –
It is fun, but yeah, I almost got knocked out.
I didn't get busted open, but I got really hit one time,
and I was like, all right, I'm about done with that.
I remember people, you get knocked down, people would help you up.
It was very nice.
Even though the chaos, it was like, I like, sometimes I like the chaos. I think I like the idea of a safe, chaotic situation.
Like, I like that everybody's kind of looking out for each other.
Like, if you fell down, it was like, help the person up so they don't get hurt.
It's not just, I wouldn't want to do it if it was.
Yeah, that's not what was going on at mine.
Oh, yours was.
Yeah.
What was yours?
I don't know.
Just something at the music farm in
charleston some show i don't even know who it was but i mean it got wild yeah
i was like actually i'm not really that into it i thought i was but uh crowd surfing they're still
doing this by the way this video has been played in real time and they're still going oh how long oh it's five i missed five minutes of just anarchy and they're just showing
them like i mean you would think does that ban fear or beef below fear beef bologna is the song
okay so uh album i don't know that's how you go. All right. What's your name? Fear. And you go, all right.
All right.
What song are you going to play?
Beef Bologna.
Of course.
Of course.
But, like, as a band, do you not go, like, hey, man, like, can we sing and stuff?
Like, I mean, they're, like, hitting the band.
Yeah.
Like, they're running by the people.
They knocked the microphone out at one point. Like, do you just realize like, all right, so part of this song, like is going to be,
I'm not going to sing it because the microphone got knocked out.
Like that's what that one point when you see the microphone gets knocked out and then.
That's probably why they brought their own fans so that you would see a bunch of people seemingly enjoying it rather than them just playing in front of a Saturday Night Live audience who would be able to judge them.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I think that is why they did it.
They're like, all right, well, we got to bring these people so we can show what it's like in our shows.
Yeah, you got to grow out.
I mean, if you're in that band, there's a point you probably got to go like, I can't.
By the time you hit 30, it's insane, dude.
Like, we're getting.
That's when you got to just get out of it and you might need a resume.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.

This is the day this comes out.
I will be at Red Rocks,
performing at Red Rocks, sold out.
It's crazy.
I mean, I've only been to it and looked at it.
I've never seen a show or anything like that.
It's going to be wild.
If you're at the Bridgestone show, we have the intro.
It's kind of that same kind of thing.
I think we're going to have a good intro there.
I mean, I know a lot of people are traveling for this uh i've never i mean i can't wait it's gonna be looks crazy yeah
dude it's gonna be uh overwhelming do people do the picture where you hold your phones i guess
you don't need to hold like bridge told me that everybody hold their phones up yeah you could do
that though i think you can get the good.
I think there's lights
and like the way it's lit up.
You can see people like, you know.
Is it going to be late enough
where it's dark for most of the show?
Yeah, I don't know what time the show is.
I mean, I think they time it out
to be like that.
That's the thing.
It might be chilly.
Like, you know,
I don't know what the weather is.
I can tell you being cold at a comedy show, much better than being hot.
I can tell you that.
857 sunset.
Yeah.
In Denver.
When they're sweating.
What's the weather in Denver?
Dragon laughs out of people.
People traveling to Denver, maybe people.
We've never done weather on this.
So weather, Denver, maybe, people. We've never done weather on this. So, weather. Denver. Denver.
Colorado.
Wednesday, heavy intensity rain.
Oh, wow.
All right.
Not good.
77 degrees, a little over 55.
But it looks like it's supposed to rain, but it'll be all off and on.
And then precipitation luckily doesn't pick up until showtime.
And that's good oh man uh well hopefully it'll pass it'll be great you'll be like the old you know the mtv who was it um
the the band that put bush they played the song glycerine on mtv when it was pouring down rain
yeah it was this big iconic moment yeah that'll be you out there. The song's about five minutes long.
Yeah.
It's an hour.
Yeah.
I got a better one.
No, it's pretty good.
But U2 shot their concert film at Red Rocks.
U2 live at Red Rocks under a blood red sky.
And there was torrential rain all day.
It holds 9,000, I believe.
4,400 people showed up.
And they couldn't cancel it because they're
shooting this movie so bono went out in the parking lot and told everybody don't worry about
your seats just everybody moved to the front yeah and then he kept announcing it before the show and
then everybody just moved down front and they still shot it and turned out i guess pretty well
but it was all day they thought that they're going to have to cancel it.
I think at the beginning of this video, they show them in the rain trying to convince people to come up front. And it was like a blood red moon?
Under a blood red sky is what the concert was called.
Sunday, bloody Sunday, dude.
That's what it's about.
No, it's not. But yeah that's what it's about no it's not but you know it's different you can't do comedy in the rain
i don't know i mean what an iconic moment it would be if you did the whole show in the rain
cold rain it'd be about the audience audience gonna sit through that one yeah take your shirt
off yeah yeah hopefully it
won't rain you know weather changes yeah weather does change and you know i didn't put in red rock
specifically i put in denver it's outside of denver so who knows what's going on i think it's
gonna be great yeah in uh 1971 jeff rotol was doing a show at red rocks and about a thousand
people without tickets showed up the The show was sold out.
So Denver police let them just stand outside and just listen to it.
But then they started charging, trying to get in to see it.
So they had to unleash riot gas and the gas, uh, this doesn't stand in place.
It moves.
So it came into the amphitheater and started gassing the people there performing the show.
So the mayor of denver
canceled rock concerts at red rock for five years because of it maybe just let them in
but there's no room that's sold out i mean yeah rather than gassing everyone though yeah why would
they think it's okay a thousand people just think well let's just go. 1971, I mean, you can't buy it online.
You just go down there and buy a ticket.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
They might have not even known the show was sold out.
That's true.
That's exactly what it was.
So they just banned the whole genre for five years?
Yeah.
What else was going on in the 70s?
What did they have there?
Country was taking over.
They did John Denver.
Just John Denver.
Sonny and Cher, The Carpenters, Pat Boers pat boone caroling seals and croft and then i think it went to court finally
and they're like that's you can't just ban rock concerts and yeah that's weird just design the
cool thing too is you get to sign a rock on it i mean it's the like there's rocks when you walk
down uh because i've been shown that and you sign like before you go on and i
mean it's just anybody on earth that you've ever seen everybody so most venues like the ryman's
was built by 1930s or something or this that and they say well we were built 200 million years ago
so i know this chair is really worked out yeah yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I guess that's true.
Well, they were, they, yeah, you walk up to that.
It's pretty crazy.
Autograph tunnel.
Allison, James, John Mayer, Stevie Nicks, Mumford and Sons, Wiz Khalifa.
It's everybody.
That's awesome, man.
But I mean, it's old too.
Super old.
Yeah.
Cosby performed there.
I remember seeing that,
not to,
you know,
but he did,
uh,
long time ago.
It's kind of crazy.
If you think you'd see Cosby there.
Yeah.
It seems kind of crazy.
Yeah.
Uh,
but he was there and then,
uh,
yeah, I mean,
it's,
you know,
dude,
that's awesome.
And then,
uh,
yeah, it's, and that's awesome and then uh yeah it's and that's tonight tonight
tonight can't wait yeah it's gonna be crazy uh i was gonna say something but
i don't know all right well the rolling stones in 1969 they did a show in california and they
hired the california chapter of Hell's Angels to be their security.
And that was a mistake.
And things got out of hand really quickly.
They enforced that security pretty tough.
And one of the singers from Crosby, Stills and Nash, Stephen Stills, got stabbed.
By Hell's Angels security?
From a motorbike wheel, it says.
Spoke from a motorbike wheel.
Jefferson Airplanes' Marty Balin was punched
when he tried to intervene in a brawl
and ended up spending the rest of the show unconscious.
And a concert goer was killed.
Oh, sorry.
So, yeah, things got out of hand.
Deep down, though, they were like,
good job, guys.
They're keeping these maniacs off the stage.
I think there's one part where Mick Jagger stops and just says,
guys, you got to just stop the fighting or we're going to just stop the show.
Right now he's saying, bye, bye, bye.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Based on the subtitles.
I don't think he's intervened just yet.
Man, the Rolling Stones were wild.
That was at Red Rocks?
No, that was in California.
Yeah.
That's a free concert.
That's funny.
You know, you have
Marty from Jefferson Pilot.
What is it?
Jefferson Airplane.
I think they changed.
They did Jefferson Airplane.
Yeah.
It was Starship.
Jefferson Pilot was the
JP Sports.
JP Sports was
Jefferson Pilot.
Yeah. Oh, Marty, Sports was a Jefferson Pilot. Yeah.
Oh, Marty, Jefferson Airplane got tore up last night.
Did you hear about Marty?
No, no, no, Marty.
You know, Jefferson Airplane.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He got knocked out last night.
Dadgum Steeles.
He got stabbed.
I mean, That's pretty wild
Steven steals
You don't even know his first name
You're just like
Steals and Nash
Not Nash
Steven Steals
Nash Young
What is Nash's name
It was
Steve
Crosby Steals
David Crosby
Steven Ste, Neil Young.
I don't know Nash.
I don't know the other.
Let's go Kevin Nash, the wrestler.
The three tenors, the other guy.
The other guy, the other, yeah.
Dig a Marty over.
Graham Nash.
Oh, yeah.
Crosby, Stills, and Nash.
But you don't, the Young, I don't ever think about.
He wasn't always with them.
He did it on his own.
Yeah, and he was only with them for a little bit.

Jefferson Airplane.
All right.
Why were they called that?
I don't know.
It's the name of the band.
They changed the Starship later to be more kind of- Jefferson Starship?
Yeah, to be more kind of futuristic.
I kind of like that.
Is that true?
I think they were getting into the 70s and the disco age.
I think that's-
Somebody to love.
Is that-
Is somebody to love?
Yeah.
Don't you need some-
White Rabbit's pretty wild, too.
Yeah.
White Rabbit. That's like- White Rabbit's pretty wild, too. White Rabbit.

Jefferson Starship's a spinoff.

Let's see.
The highest grossing tour of all time.

Well, how about you and Elton John?
Me and Elton John.
Dude, I hope you're still

Your farewell tour.
Mm-hmm.
AI will have been
taken over by that time.
We'll be living out in a
commune somewhere.
Yeah, there's a chance
I'll look like I'm 34.
Yeah, you're looking at a robot surgery. Yeah. out in a commune somewhere. There's a chance I'll look like I'm 34. You're
looking at a robot surgery.
The
shortest concert of all time,
March 2007, The Who
took the stage in Tampa
and Roger Daltrey realized he couldn't
sing that night. It lasted 13 seconds.
It was attended by 9,000
fans.
And then Jack White tried to break the record when he was
in the white stripes and they took the stage and did one note just this publicity thing and then
left the stage and then the guinness book world records wouldn't honor it and i think he was mad
about it like that's not fair and then they basically said it's too trivial to do something
that's the shortest the longest that takes some effort,
but the shortest,
it's hard to even categorize what counts as short is.
Yeah.
So,
well,
it's probably can't be forced.
I wouldn't think you're like,
you know,
it's like,
you gotta go do it.
Uh,
you gotta do it long.
Yeah.
I mean,
even what he's doing right here seems longer than 13 seconds.
But that right there,
that was it.
But he's taking time to put the guitar down.
The concert's still going.
I guess.
I guess they count it just when you start music.
Here's the one note.
Oh, even in one note, it sounds like the White Stripes.
Yeah.
And then they just went home?
Yeah, and then they were done.
They walked off. Oh, I bet they said, we? Yeah, and then they were done. They walked off.
Oh, I bet they said, we're going to do the shortest concert ever.
Yeah.
They told the crowd that.
They all came out.
Yeah.
I would go to that.
Yeah.
Get to be home early.
Saw the White Stripes last night.
Good show, man.
Yeah.
What was it?
Yeah, you're like, how was the traffic?
It was all traffic.
Yes.
No show. The show was the the traffic? It was all traffic. Yes. No show.
The show was the traffic because it was just traffic.
I went to get a beer.
I missed it.
I couldn't even beat the traffic.
By the time you sat down, you're already back in traffic.
Bruce Springsteen's famous for his really long concerts.
He's done them over four hours before.
Springsteen's famous for his really long concerts.
He's done them over four hours before.
And in 2012, he was playing Hyde Park in London, and Paul McCartney came on as his surprise guest.
And they went past the curfew, 1030 curfew, and they cut their mics.
Oh, wow.
The city of London did.
And people were pretty upset when Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen
were on stage, and they have to cut their mic. That's him trying to yell when their mics have been cut off. That's at the very end.
But yeah, but there's a 1030 curfew, they say, because it's in a neighborhood.
Golly. Yeah. I mean, that's like a tough situation because it's, you know, there is,
it's the, like, you know, know the audience the crowd there wants to see it
honestly probably everybody around them's like you could just keep it going yeah it's paul
mccartney i know but there's also like well where do you draw the line like you go all right it's
paul mccartney be like what if another random singer wants to do that you're like so what do
you tell him he can't you're not paul mccartney like who's to say who's who paul mccartney was knighted by the queen sir paul
mccartney anybody with who's been knighted maybe draw the line there i'm down with the city of
london i love it i love it that they're like we actually we don't care who it is we have a rule
and uh boris johnson was the mayor at the time and he he came out and said, I wish I'd let him keep going, but, you know.
Don't backtrack.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, it happens.
If you're going to do it, stick by it.
Yeah, it's just one of those, like, you're like, I do get it.
You just go like, all right, you know, yeah, it just was different, dude.
It was Bruce Finney and Paul McCartney, so we kind of let them do whatever.
You know, it's like a different kind of thing.
But that being said, I mean, like, you're going to let every, like,
if you're in that neighborhood
and you're like it's a noise thing it's 10 30 and you're like uh i mean there's a lot of famous
singers that are going to elton john and uh so it comes out he's been knighted and he comes out and
he goes well i want to do more and you're like so now you could be like these people have a month
of yeah concerts that
go over 1030. It's a pretty good month though. I just love it though. Elton John, Bruce Springsteen.
It is crazy. Paul McCartney. Don't you think it's great though? Somebody like that though,
they're like, nah, we're going to blow this curfew. We don't care. Cause we're, I'm Bruce
Springsteen. I don't care. And then the city's like, nah, nah, we're still going to stick.
That part of it. I do like it. There's another video I watched where you can actually hear what he's saying and he turns to his guy and he's like, they're not going to stay. That part of it. I do. I do. Yeah. Yeah. There's another video I watch where you can actually hear what he's saying.
And he turns to his guy and he's like, they're not going to stop us.
Are they?
And then the guy comes running out and he whispers something.
He's like, okay, they actually are going to stop us.
We got to go.
Good night.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
It's like his manager or something comes out and says, no, we got to stop.
Tell Paul McCartney to show up earlier.
You know what I mean?
Don't be so late. It's Paul McCartney to show up earlier You know what I mean? Don't be so late for the show
It's Paul McCartney's fault
Well, what are they singing still?
After you've already sung the song
Like, what are you
I mean, they were doing Twist and Shout, I think
Yeah, they're doing Beatles songs, probably
Oh, yeah
Yeah
They're like, just
There's
There's probably too many
You know what's funny?
There's almost too many crazy nights now Like,'s like but it's oh i mean back then when was this like 2012 so it's
like i mean that's probably the beginning of that where we almost have there's but there's too many
famous people right now and they're all still active so they're all meeting and they're all
doing stuff and everything's remember when you're like i can't believe this movie's uh de niro and pacino or can you believe it together now they're
in 40 movies and they both still act they're still in everything so you have like there's a lot of
like it's all this kind of crazy thing they would have probably let that happen if they're not like
they done like they do this stuff all the time like who cares like not who cares but it's just like the the the like can you believe everything can't be
this like yeah once in a lifetime yeah that's everybody calling everybody the goat yeah that's
so you're just anybody's a goat everybody's, so like that kind of idea is like,
but he, Bruce Springsteen's the goat.
Well, he's actively touring like it's 1971.
So I don't know what to tell you.
Like it's, you know, it's like, how many,
it's like you're almost, there is no mistake.
There is no like, oh, this guy ducked out for a while
you're like no this guy and i'm not going out to bruce fink's people love bruce fink uh i've met
bruce uh but uh i over any of them like garth brooks garth brooks goes away and you're like
all right and then it's like i mean he's just tours now he's he's never you know all these
bands are like i'm retiring rolling stones are these are only the
only famous bands we've ever had are still out there yeah that's crazy it starts from the it is
funny to think that the classic rock when i was a kid is still classic rock oh yeah and they were
i mean and that was and that was classic that was old rock, right? Yeah. So your old rock, your old channel is still just the Beach Boys.
It's the same song.
Still tour.
Yeah.
None of these people stop.
Aerosmith.
They're about to do their farewell tour.
Yeah, yeah.
But Elton John.
Farewell what?
Elton John what?
You don't think he's going to not tour?
I mean, they give you all the chances to be like, if you missed them, it'd be like, I
don't know how you missed them, dude.
Like they toured forever you gotta be so like tony bennett like who's 90 or something like that
recently yeah that's the only way like because you know they're gonna die eventually willie
nelson's 90 i know but they're still touring like it's it's it it just kind of it's the you do this
farewell stuff it's just like that like ah it's
bruce freezing paul mccartney going up together and you're like all right i mean you probably
you're going to see that you've either seen it on tv or you can watch a video of it you could
it's not like a special there's too much of like can you believe this guy is coming out to this
like there's not in there uh the excited now I'm not trying to say taking anything away,
but it's like,
I'm looking back when a city shuts that down,
they go,
I don't Paul McCartney comes out all the time on everybody's thing.
Yeah.
I don't know.
These people in this town do not care that it's Paul McCartney again,
going wanting to go past 11 o'clock.
Like he wants to to until 1130.
They just don't care.
The people in the house.
I'm surprised Paul McCartney fans want to be up past
1030.
I mean, it is crazy.
Let's lock it down.
El John's 75.
Is he 75?
He's in his 70s.

Should have brought them out.
You got any strategy?
You're just going to fill it out?
I think me and you should go throw.
We should.
And then I think I'm going to just fill it out.
I'm going to try not to overthink it.
I know how to throw a baseball, so I'm going to just do what I do.
Throw a baseball.
But I'm trying to decide, should I go from the stretch and wind up?
You want it to look good. Do it from the stretch. It's going to all look good., should I go from the stretch, the windup? You want it to look good.
Do it from the stretch.
It's going to all look good.
Do it from the stretch.
The stretch.
Because I just picture you have an old-timey, kind of young windup
that's going to look funny.
I think that's what you should do.
Oh, you say do it from the stretch to look good.
I say do it from the stretch.
Then I could lean in, like, you know, look at the catcher.
Look at first, because I'm lefty, so I'll be looking at the runner.
Right, right, right.
I might throw over to first. You'll be one of those that they're like, I'm looking at the catcher. Look at first, because I'm lefty, so I'll be looking at the runner. Right, right, right. I might throw over to first.
He'll be one of those that they're like, just do it.
Like, it just goes on and on, and everybody's like, oh.
The PA announcer announces the start of the game,
so it's going to be a little bit later.
Yeah, it's out there.

You did the full wind-up over the head.
I did.
Yeah, I am.
Oh, wait.
You threw out the first pitch.
Last season.
Oh, so you're the first.

Aaron cut us all off.
Yeah, he did.
Have you done it?
No.
You don't believe in baseball?
