I did a podcast a long time ago, a very, very long time ago, right when podcasts were getting
big and then we stopped it. It was basically like if you got a tip about Google and then
you were like, ah, let's get out of it.
I mean, it was like 2010 or something.
I don't know.
But now we're doing it again.
COVID has forced me into a podcast because I can't do anything.
So we're doing it here.
We're in Nashville, Tennessee.
This is the first one.
I'm excited to do a show.
I don't know exactly what this show is going to end up being.
It's just us hanging out, a couple comics.
Let me introduce you to the comics that are in here.
I got Brian Bates, who's on the road with me a lot,
and Aaron Weber's been on the road with me once,
and that will be the last time.
He really blew it.
So I just figured we're here we're all stuck in nashville uh so let's do a podcast you know let's get it
let's get it going uh nicole's butcher and these all sound like stores do they not nicole's but
you know here at nicole'scher, we exclusively use Reynolds Seal.
I mean, it's all just, hi, I'm Nicole, and Nicole's Butcher.
And is it Nicole's?
I don't know.
Is it not Nicole?
You're emphasizing the butcher part.
Like, Nicole didn't write it.
She got her butcher to comment for her.
Yeah.
Hi.
Oh, yeah.
Hi.
I'm Nicole's butcher.
And I know you might be thinking, why did she send me out to give her answers?
But Nicole's busy right now, and she can't be bothered.
Who's Nicole?
Is it Nicole's?
It might be Nicholas.
Nicholas Butcher?
Nicole's Butcher.
How you doing?
I'm Nicole's Butcher.

His real name?
Poor guy

Get in here
You have to say the last name
Or you just
You go Soar
And he goes here
Every teacher
I don't think you need to be
Any more specific Soar Uh He just goes here. I don't think you need to be any more specific.
Soar.
He just sits there and the teacher's like, uh.
Which one?
Sigorb.
Oh.
I thought it was the other Soar.
I play your podcast while working, illustrating on my computer,
sometimes I spend large amounts of time without saving my progress
because I forget to do so.
And then my computer crashes and I lose all my work.
Now I click save every time I hear Nate say unbelievable
or every time he roasts bland bread.
I haven't lost a single piece of work ever since.
That's got to be frustrating.
I mean, everybody knows not saving something.
Golly.
When I've written out shows like,
which I wear in my hat ney bargetti show
from the failed we sent a bunch of these hats to nigeria uh is that where they send the hats
things that don't go good president mccain hats yeah atlanta falcons super bowl like when they
had none they lost to the patriots uh they but yeah you type something out i mean it's a whole you're just in the groove of
like doing it and then it just goes away and you're like and then the next time is never as
good yeah that's the gist of it and you're like it's not that good yeah well i i lost it
miriam gregory i've been a fan of the podcast since day one. You think that's right?
These names all feel made up.
Miriam Gregory.
It feels like almost we were short on comments.
And then.
Brian went in.
And Boat Ramp went in.
And then just said.
Just took.
Sor Sigour.
Sor Sigour.
Miriam
Gregory. Oh, that's the worst name
I've ever heard. Oh, man.
That's a real name.
I don't think he's going to turn around
by the way we...
Soar is different.
Maybe Soaray? Next one's
Soda.
Seven.
Seven.
These are all just George Costanza names that he came up with it's so it's beautiful it is yeah so i got a good idea what that guy looks like
uh i feel like you can you can picture a sore you can picture him in your head you're like
i feel like i've never i don't know what i don't know what they look like but i think i could pick them oh right if you want if you said there's
there's 100 people standing in the crowd one of them's named sore i'd be like i feel pretty good
i could figure out who he is if you lined up dr khan source and miriam gregory i could tell you
which one was sore i'll tell you that much would you is sore male or female sore feels like it's gender neutral
man so if it's so ray yeah i'm gonna ray would be a lovely lady uh huh what you know you don't
think so raise these are all i don't know these names are these... These are all... I don't know. These names are... These are our fans, Aaron, that you're laughing at.
Sorry.
That's the worst thing I've ever heard.
Well, it's not if it's Sorey Segur.
Sorey Segur.
Sorey Segur.
Like a Ukrainian ballet dancer or something.
Well, they could be big fans.
Sorey Segur doesn't sound as bad. That's what I'm saying. That sounds like a ballet dancer or something. Well, they could be big fans. Sorey Sigorb doesn't sound as bad.
That's what I'm saying.
That sounds like a ballet dancer
from Eastern Europe.
Sorey.
Sorey Sigorb.
That actually is a beautiful name now.
And I'm going to name my next daughter that.
We don't have another daughter.
Sorey Bargetzi?
Yeah, Sorey Bargetzi.
I feel like if I find some little girl
sitting out on the side of the road
and she lives with us, I feel like that's how you get a Soray in your family.
They're not born into that family.
You find them and they're put with that family.
Turler.
That's the guy's name.
T-U-R-R-L-E-R.
Turler.
Think that's his real name? I don't know.'t you don't i don't think that i know we have a history of colorful names on the podcast but turler
the turler family i bet its name is
the lur family i think his name is ty, and he's being funny. Turler.
Ooh, Tyler.
Tyler Lurr.
That's what I think.
All right, you're going with Tyler.
I go with his name is actually Turler, and he has to live with it.
This podcast is officially too dumb for me.
Goodbye, folks.
Hey, good run.
I guess we'll never know.
I guess we'll never know.
He's never even going to hear his comment being read
yeah Turler
he's out
too dumb what does he want it to be
I don't know right yeah go get the
TED Talks podcast yeah I mean there's
other podcasts like that's what's like
that would be like if you're
watching
the Titans play and you go it's just too much football
this is ridiculous why do you not watch the Titans it's just too much football this is really why
do you not watch the titans it's a lot of football why don't they throw in some other stuff you're
like you know what they should they should throw in you know i was talking to brian we we had a
clip on your facebook go kind of viral from like the second episode of the podcast about talking
millions billions trillions of dollars has like two views. And a lot of them have no idea what the podcast is.
So most of the comments are just like, these guys are morons.
They think it's like a math podcast.
Well, I mean, Turler knows what the podcast is.
And he thinks we're morons.
Turler made it 23 episodes before he's like, I don't know.
He gave us a fair shot.
Yeah, he goes, this is, this is.
I always love the idea of someone.
It's like they're resigning, like leaving a comment.
He goes – he didn't even give us a two-week notice.
I'm out.
He just goes – like it's so funny to think like you think he's at home
and he's talking to his wife, his roommate, and he just goes,
I can't listen to this podcast anymore.
They're like, oh, it's cool, so you go stop listening to it.
I'll probably let them know, and then. So you go stop listening to it. I'll probably let them know.
And then I'm going to stop listening to it like that.
What are you going to do for that?
You go just unsubscribe.
I'm probably going to
somehow let these guys know
that I don't think they're good.
And then I'm going to back out.
You know what I mean?
But I think they should know
that the lure is out.
The lure family. Parting shot. the Lur is out. The Lur family.
Parting shot.
The Lur family is out.
We met a fan yesterday.
You met a fan?
We did.
We did.
Remember when we were at lunch and the guy said, hey, listen to the podcast.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Where was it?
Oh, yes.
The guy we met yesterday.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sorry.
I'm not a big, I don't like talking to the fans out in the public
no
yeah very nice guy
yeah
didn't know my name
but
yeah he called him Matt
called Brian Matt
so Nate and Matt
yeah
wasn't sure
and
went with Matt
and so
I don't feel like
you look like a Matt
I was going to say
that's a pretty good guess
he said
it's not a bad guess
he said
I don't know why
I thought your name was Matt.
And Nate said, well, we got an Aaron.
He said, oh, yeah, I know Aaron.
I love Aaron.
Yeah.
But his name was Ben.
I know him.
But then when he left, he's like, what was your name one more time?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
I should have said Worf.
He was very nice.
See if he's a real fan.
Does he dive deep?
Like, did you go back to episode one you're one of
those real fans like what's your greatest i don't really don't have one uh so could you all right so
i thought about that i mean the only thing i could possibly think of is i play baseball
and basketball and uh there's me as a basketball player there in junior high
wow yeah yeah look at that.
Why do they got colored cameras?
And there was one game.
I mean, I was terrible.
I was always terrible.
I never scored.
But there was one game I hit a 10-foot jump shot.
Yeah.
Legit 10-foot jump shot.
So then we go down the other team.
We come back down.
They throw the ball at me.
I shoot again. The guy on the other team t Come back down, leave the other ball to me. I shoot again.
The guy on the other team tipped the ball like when I shot it,
but somehow it made it go in the hoop.
My coach didn't see this apparently.
So he yells, Brian's hot.
Give him the ball, which I've never heard in my life. He doesn't know that the only reason that ball went in is because another guy helped it.
So then we go down.
Then we come back down down and they're like
get behind the ball which i've never had before they throw it to me i shoot it it goes over the
backboard it was one of those makeshift concession stands over there where the parents run and it
bounced like over into them where the dad had to throw it back in yeah that's my greatest moment
your greatest moment is a heat check yeah heat check a heat check. For a second, they thought I was... He's cold.
He's back off.
That's what they have to yell.
Don't throw it to him anymore.
No more Brian.
No more Brian, everybody.
But, I mean, I stole a base once and thought that somehow the guy fouled the ball back.
And I ran back to first.
And it confused him so much.
I was on second and I thought I only found it back.
So I started running back for about halfway there.
He was like,
so I went to first and I had a slide head first into first base.
And I'm back right where I was with the first base. Back to the base. And I'm back
right where I was with the first base coach.
He's like, what are you doing,
man? You were there.
I was like, I thought they fouled it.
I thought they fouled it. I didn't know.
So in a way,
I stole two bases.
That's so good.
That's never happened before.
You're the only one.
He stole a base that he stole back.
The look on my first base coach's face when he saw me coming back there.
Wow.
Oh, dude.
I mean, just to be, just to have to dive in, just to like have to, you have to slide,
just fix a problem that shouldn't be a problem.
Like you're getting back to the original.
You could be like, dude, you could have just stayed here, man,
and we wouldn't be going through this.
And for you to get all the way to second.
That's amazing.
That's like, I feel like with you, you end up,
anybody else it's like maybe you make it back to first,
but you just go back to first, and you're like,
well, that was a stupid move.
And you're the only one that gets in a battle situation
just trying to get back to the original spot.
I mean, it's a full-on real play.
I mean, I went in head first.
The op had to call safe.
Oh, dude, that's unbelievable.
Starting us off with our partner, Athletic Greens. All of us are trying to take our AG1
by Athletic Greens every day. We all gave AG1 a try because we wanted increased energy and
immune system support for our busy lifestyles. We all try to take our AG1 in the morning before
starting the day and it makes us
feel like we're doing something good to cover all our nutritional bases. It is much easier to mix
one scoop of powder in water once a day than to take... Hey, I'm Jillian. And I'm Patrick,
and together we make the podcast True Crime Obsessed. If you love documentaries the way
we love documentaries, you might be interested in our show
because we recap all the documentaries that you're watching.
We've covered just about every true crime case you can imagine.
We're talking the Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker,
the Ted Bundy tapes.
What else?
The Turpin 13.
Yes.
With the amazing sisters who basically tell the story.
The girl in the picture.
Yes.
All the documentaries you love to talk about with your friends.
We're your friends now.
We're the friends you talk about that stuff with.
Yeah.
We're True Crime now. We're the friends you talk about that stuff with. Yeah. We're True Crime
Obsessed Podcast. Stitch us on Apple Podcasts,
Spotify, or wherever you listen.
And they all start dying laughing.
And they're like, look, he's worried. And the rest
of the trip, they called me Worried. That was
my nickname, was Worried. Worried
is such a good word
to use. Like, if they would have said,
this guy looks confused,
worried.
I mean, they labeled me that.
God, man.
Worried is such a good word.
Yeah.
For that situation.
Women know how to cut to your heart,
don't they?
She could have said confused. She could have said...
That would have ruined the whole trip for me.
I mean, I still remember it to this day.
You're just trying to hang out.
I was trying to be so cool by not talking.
This guy looks worried.
And then she, I mean, I hadn't said a word.
And his bum over here looks worried.
Who's he with?
You two?
And then for them just to call you worried.
God, that's so funny, dude.
I still remember it.
How, I mean, that's like professional stand-up.
You would try different words.
Right.
You would be scared.
You would try everything and worried.
If anybody's thinking about comedy, worried is just a very funny word,
and it's just such a description that it's not a strong person.
I mean, it hurts.
You don't say worried about...
He-Man is not worried.
No.
Soldiers are not worried.
They could be scared.
Scared is okay.
Yeah.
Worried is...
Also, not worried about anything in particular just worried
in general general look and it's coming from like guys you maybe could say that but from a girl
oh yeah and they all laughed i mean i was mortified yeah got more worried she got super
yeah it's uh it is self-fulfilling peter bridge when bruce told the story about the woman i like
how it's now just i mean it's not even i can't even find one that calls me by my real name yeah
i looked and it's what's so it's just how quickly it goes in you know what i mean like it's not like
where it's an obvious we're making fun of a joke when bruce told the story about the woman label
i mean it's just like not a like a breeze when bruce told the story about the woman labeling, I mean, it's just like a breeze.
When Bruce told the story about the woman labeling him as worried, it quite literally made me pee.
Those chicks just totally nailed it.
He still gives off the worried vibe.
No offense, Bryce.
Yeah.
Worried is, I mean, that's unbelievable.
That'd be the name of your album, Worried.
It's the name of my life.
Yeah.
You really should. Your next album should, Worried. It's the name of my life. Yeah. You really should.
Your next album should be Worried.
My next album.
It's just you being, well, you're going to have to do one now.
The people are going to want to hear it.
Yeah.
You know, everybody go buy his first album.
It's still out there.
But Worried is a great name for it.
I thought about that story all week.
Ace here, Bilbo's PBS pick is underrated.
That's a pretty good choice for one channel.
Thank you.
Bilbo.
I don't know if I should thank them or be insulted.
Bilbo's, I mean, that's a crazy name.
Aaron pointed out someone called me breakfast.
Breakfast is unbelievable.
Breakfast is as good as worried.
Oh, man, it's so good. Someone called you.
And this?
I don't think it's on here, but it was in the comments.
I mean, breakfast is unreal.
That's amazing.
That's the best one I've heard.
Just to call him, I don't know, is breakfast coming up?
It's got the same amount of syllables as Brian.
It's got the BR.
Yeah. It's perfect. And it It's got the BR. Yeah.
It's perfect.
And it's so ridiculous.
Man.
Yeah.
Breakfast is good.
I like how Brickles and Aaron are finding their niche roles in this production.
Aaron, the reluctant genius, and Brisket is the self-deprecating setup man.
Brigade even smiled and laughed out loud a few times on this one.
Wow.
We got some life out of Brigade.
Breakfast is moving around.
Colin Lippard.
Brad looks like the substitute teacher that desperately wants the approval of the full-time teachers.
That's a great, that's like a real comment.
You look like a substitute teacher that you walk in the the teacher's lounge just
like hey guys and it's like hey and then one of the real teachers like you don't work here full
time man i know you're here for a while because miss uh you know whatever miss smith is whatever Miss Smith is going through some stuff
yeah
she's got
because Miss Johnson
is going through
a divorce
and she can't be
bothered by teaching
so
but you don't work here
Matt Kaczynski
Nate Rance
today
had me wanting
to run through
a brick wall
great advice
for anyone
to better themselves
love the podcast
a lot
Bon Bon and Aaron
are amazing
and can't wait to see them
both grow like you.
Bon Bon,
what name do you think
you're going to make it as?
Because it's not going to be Brian.
It's going to be something else.
Bon Bon, I like.
You like them all.
That's why this keeps happening
because you encourage it.
I know,
but I love,
I mean, Bon Bon.
Welcome to the stage. Bon Bon. I love, I mean, Bon Bon. Welcome to the stage.
Bon Bon.
You say, I mean, you could be dancing somewhere named Bon Bon.
Now imagine the disappointment.
Everybody, please welcome to the stage, Bon Bon.
And then you walk out on stage and like, oh, God.
And then some guy's like, just wait.
He has to just wait.
So we'll start with the beginning of grocery stores a little fun fact here the first self-service grocery store this felt like doing a
school you know when you let they go all right everybody you get uh uh brian uh bring
brian baits uh and And then it sounded exactly.
Yeah, you don't like the way I start stuff, I don't think.
Like your stand-up?
Like jokes?
Well, I've read like three times on the show and twice you've called me out on the way I start it.
I don't think I'm good at starting, but.
Okay, here we go. go but yeah now i'm thinking
about my jokes i gotta yeah how do you start your joke you said hello folks you say folks
yeah i'm pretty sure you say folks yeah it for every joke no when you come out when you come out
hello folks and you might say when you leave you don't you come out. Hello, folks.
And you might say it when you leave.
You don't think you say, do you say folks?
I don't think so. I think you do.
Okay.
Every joke.
Yeah, every joke.
That's his thing.
That's what people will like.
That's his.
And he sells t-shirts in the lobby that say, hey, hello, folks.
And it's just a picture of him.
That's his image. Hello. Hello. It's just a picture of him that's his image
hello
it's just seven hands
that go like that
hello folks

and then he does his act
and then every joke I start with it again
yeah
hello folks then goodnight folks I start with it again. Yeah. There you go. Hello, folks.
Good night, folks.
How good did that be, man?
That was so good.
I mean, that's just like,
that would be like if you're a stand-up comic,
you just got pulled out of Lebanon
and you didn't know Nashville exists.
And then you're like,
I've been doing comedy in Lebanon for 15 years.
All right.
Sorry.

I mean,
what happened?
I mean,
that's the best thing you could hope.
What'd you think was going to be the guy in Wilkes-Barre down the alley?
I thought it could be something that has nothing to do with penguins.
I thought,
I honestly,
I honestly thought it would be like,
that's what they call some other thing.
And then penguins are nothing.
It's penguin.
But it's straight up penguin.
We got penguin problems.
How much do you want to?
I love a guy selling that.
And a couple of penguins in the back.
One's all black.

the top i mean i think that's what the guy says that what's the because if i get a couple penguins
i think we'll be we'll be just right I charge $8 to get in that place.
Get a couple penguins.
I love that.
The official pronunciation is how
I was saying it.
Just let that for the record.
All right. So that's your worst?
Yeah, I don't even
remember. Yeah, that was it.
The Arkansas one.
It had a penguin exhibit.
I want to believe in aliens because it shows that some civilization didn't blow themselves up
and were able to get out in space and have some fun.
Is that a hopeful thing?
Yeah.
Yeah, so there should be other civilian stations that the planets
blew themselves up
did you say civilian stations?
yeah
I got a broken word up
it's one big happy
civilian station
you're trying to say civilization?
yeah
it blew me away I was was like, civilian station.
And you want people to take us seriously.
How are they going to take us seriously?
I mean, I don't know.
I don't think they're.
Oh, boy.
Maybe they.
But I hope something is called civilian station.
That's what Earth is called.
We are a station for civilians.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Drop off point.
I think I'm ahead of the game.
I feel like an alien talking to dumb humans a lot.
Because people make fun of what I say.
And I'm like, and I always just go, you'll see.
You're going to one day use this civilian station.
A lot of weeks in the comments, the next week someone will say,
Nate was actually right.
He's ahead of his time somehow. There's no such thing
as civilization.
It's a conspiracy. Is there been other
civilizations?
Sniveling nations.
Is there been other civilian stations?
I don't think
that's a crazy question.
Critical comedy reaction.
It's a meltdown.
In all seriousness though,
there's been other civilian stations. That's what we're. In all seriousness though, there's been other
civilian stations. That's what we're going to call other planets.
Where civilians have lived
is what they say and they're gone.
I would think they're gone.
The argument is
the reason we've never found
in all our vast searching
I'm sorry.
Success.
Now we're just having to see some life out of you
that's so funny
the argument is
in all our searching of all the cosmos
one argument is maybe because
they've long since destroyed themselves
and
they advance like we do with nuclear weapons
or some sort and then they eventually just kill themselves
and so they
alright nuclear weapons or some sort and then they eventually just kill themselves and so they all right
aaron's done civilian station it's uh that's what we're going to call this episode
uh don't you think that's a good... That's how to describe Earth?
Nobody's ever made that mistake before.
The dribbling vacation.
Civilization.
I just kind of stopped.
Stop saying it.
He was at the breaking point, and that was just the shove he needed.
It was like I was walking down a road
I looked the other way
and then I go
where was I?
But I was still in the same word when all that happened.
It gets better and better.
Wait till you're 60.
Things come out of your mouth.
You don't even know.
It's not my fault.
I was raised, i was taught by humans
uh all right so traveling is a big deal it's a big deal during the holidays uh
what is it the most when's the do you know like the most most traveled thanksgiving thanksgiving
why it's always why it's thanksgiving i guess santa. Santa Claus travels. So Santa's got to come to your home.
So that's, you know.
Yeah, people with kids, they want to stay home and do that.
But Thanksgiving's more of a go see the.
It's also a secular holiday.
So everybody, all Americans celebrate it, I feel like.
Yeah.
It's a big word, man.
But I thought you were going to argue that's why Thanksgiving's more travel.
That's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's why thanksgiving's more travel that's what
i'm saying yeah that's why thanksgiving is more travel say that word just at your dinner table
with your family secular yeah i mean it depends on the conversation would that be the conversation
comes up maybe then you go it's my favorite secular holiday and your family would just
you come from a smart family though right so you guys probably use i guess i remember using
that because my parents would made us go to mass guys probably use i guess i remember using that because my
parents would made us go to mass on thanksgiving sometimes and i remember like come on this is a
secular holiday dude this isn't even you would say that in an argument oh yeah to your parents
this is a secular holiday what are we what are we doing here yeah yeah church and state come on i
mean you're kidding i mean wow dude wow. Did you have a lab coat on? No.
Did – I mean, that's – did you use it in – I mean, I don't – you know.
Yeah.
We just – my family, we just clap at each other.

Yeah.
We're the idiot family, and we just, you know – Yeah. We're just, you know. They throw things, call each other idiots. Yeah. We're the idiot family.
And we just, you know.
Yeah.
Just stomp on the ground when you want something.
You know, it's like how horses talk to each other.
That's a we.
That's what goes on in our family.
Just walk in, just hear noises.
You listen to the whale sounds?
You're like, no, my mom's cooking some uh we're not using secular i tell you that right now if i threw that around my family we'd all be like
all right whoa someone someone's taking some online classes somewhere aren't we
but there's no like mention of when when Jesus was born in the Bible.
Yeah.
Isn't it supposedly, the people just think it's July, right?
I've heard some people think spring or summer.
But they weren't using a Gregorian calendar back then.
No.
So who knows what timing.
No.
Would y'all use a Gregorian calendar too?
Would y'all do that a lot?
That's the calendar that we all use, the Gregorian calendar, right?
But would you, with those words, I i mean i just would love to be that
like you bring your girlfriend over like from high school and you go my family it's great
thanks for coming and then it's you know it's like uh you know it's like hey how you doing
what's your what's your favorite secular holiday you know on the gregorian calendar obviously and
then the little the girl's like what that's the word y'all you guys are gonna you just run her off
uh wouldn't be fire i mean i would almost say uh lever a lever like a pulley or a lever maybe
fulcrum what like what's a fulcrum you know like a seesaw thing
oh yeah
that kind of
is that what they say
is that what you said
fulcrum be the thing in the middle
is that what you're saying
when you go ride
as a kid
you're just a fun kid
you guys want to go
fulcrum
and everybody's like
oh god
yeah
that was big
do you remember
riding the fulcrum
a lot alone
is it that
is it cause that's how you described a lot of stuff hey do you guys want to go ride the fulcrum a lot alone? Is it because that's how you described a lot of stuff?
Hey, do you guys want to go ride the fulcrum?
And they go, I don't.
Anybody want a fulcrum?
We're going to just swing.
I mean, that is what it is, right?
Anyway.
So what do you think is going to do?
I think I can get through a dozen chocolate.
Yeah.
Which I guess is, it's like two two dozen it's a 228 80 calories
is a dozen chocolate what was that i don't know man 28 80 you just said a number that didn't exist
20 28 80 2880 okay you don't think that's the 2880 i mean 2880 calories so baits uh eight do we have a time limit
no but it's like just we don't reason all day yeah okay you tried to just go down there and
eat baits eight laura what do you think i said eight original eight so baits and laura eight
so who could basically beat eight and i'm'm doing, I say a dozen chocolate.
And I honestly think I can get some glazed in there after that.
You're still hungry after that?
If I'm still, if we can drink and stuff, right?
I think we're fun.
And then, so I think a dozen, two dozen.
So it's over under.
Can you get to two dozen is the answer.
Okay.
That's, I think two dozen is the thing.
Can I get through a dozen chocolate?
And do I add some glazed on? I don't but those are i think those are the highlights eight two dozen one dozen chocolates so funny the difference we're gonna do eight
24 24 yeah wow well that's how i'm doing 12 i'm trying trying to meet you halfway. I know. It's just where I got chocolate.
You guys are professionals.
Yeah, this is what we do, man.
I think we're here.
I think I might be about done.
Okay.
Where do you stand?
All right.
Hold on.
So, yeah, I mean, I think, look, I mean, I feel I'm at.
And I was a letdown.
I think we all read Laura was the biggest letdown.
I did three and a half.
Three and a half.
Our numbers are not excited.
Laura did three and a half.
I thought I could do a dozen.
I did chocolate to start.
I think I did four chocolate.
Four chocolate
and then two and a half of original glaze
switched it up so I'm at six and a half before being chocolate so that's something
if you chocolate's a little it's different it's a different animal for sure different
yeah it's a lot down different the texture is different it's hard you know uh a lot. It goes down different. The texture is different. It's hard. There's a lot going on.
Brian, breakfast.
He should succeed at this, as we call him, breakfast.
And he did.
He did better than expected.
We said eight was the over-under.
He did nine.
Yep.
Nine.
Pretty easy.
Pretty easy.
Aaron, Mr. 36, Mr. Iraq.
What?
I had 12 glazed in one chocolate.
13.
12 glazed in one chocolate.
13, 13 to the third.
Yeah, I'll give you a third. Yeah.
I'll give you that, the chocolate.
Or I'll give you the dozen.
It's definitely tough, man.
Yeah.
It's not an easy thing.
You saying 36 is unbelievable.
Yeah, that's true.
That's such a high number.
You couldn't even get to 24.
I don't think you can.
No.
I don't think you can.
I mean, did you eat today? No. I didn't eat today. I didn't eat since to 24. I don't think you can. No. I don't think you can. I mean, did you eat today?
No.
I didn't eat today.
I didn't eat since last night.
I had breakfast.
You had breakfast?
Yeah.
You still ain't ate?
This is my lunch.
You could have waited until, you could have got to 12 if you didn't eat breakfast.
Well, I mean, I can exceed my goal.
Breakfast has to get breakfast.
I could.
These guys talk a big game.
I back it up.
Well, if my mother's life depended on it, I could eat a few more.
But I feel myself like, oh, I'm about to maybe throw up.
Yeah, you could eat until you throw up.
They're so sweet.
It's just, it's a lot.
I'm thinking about the sheer volume of stuff
that I just ate.
Yeah, I mean, we got one, two, three, four,
we still got five boxes.
I told Laura, she goes, eight.
I go, let's do ten.
I said five or four.
She said four or five, and I said,
I don't think you can listen to the podcast.
I said, get ten.
She was right. And here we are.
We could have done one.

He gave an example here.
I didn't even pick up on it.
Where was it?
Underneath it.
Where it says, here's an example.
Oh, I've read.
Oh, here's an example.
Incorrect.
He plays golf good.
Correct.
He plays golf well.
Look, I'm not an adverb guy. And I don't talk about adverbs. I don't think I've ever
talked about them. He thinks a pronoun's a noun that gets paid to be a sentence.
I say good a lot, but I will say, I do know that when I'm saying good, that a lot of times it's
not good. But I do it, it's saying it different, which which sticks out i'm in a job of words so he
plays golf well i'm not going to talk like that that doesn't fit it's funnier when i say it's good
good is what's funny yeah that's what's funny if it gets under your skin that means it's probably
a better way of being funnier all your chinese kids you're not
gonna make it in comedy if they you know talk to them a little bit i'm sure they speak better than
me you know but we're not competing for the same job good on them he spoke well court gestures
yeah we spent 15 minutes on rolling the farter and then we were
just like and the crusades happened oh wow that seemed like a tough time court what court gestures
how do you say it gestures you got called out a lot for people oh jesters jesters yeah
gesture you can say gesture like i say like chester like chester drawers no like
do you think that's who invented them court jester and then in chester drawers and he goes
i'll just change it to ch and then didn't even notice uh we're gonna sell uh chester drawers
on their website uh What do you mean?
That's Jester?
It's not like I'm putting an H in there?
Yeah, you're saying it like, oh, that was a nice gesture.
Gesture.
But it's Jester.
Jest her.
Like jest her.
Jest her.
Jest her.
Jest her.
Who's in there?
Jest her.
She's in there alone.
That's closer.
Court Jester.
Jest her.
So I should say just her.
That's closer than gestureester jester the court should say just her that's closer than gesture court jester that's better just her in court uh uh chris i mean yeah those words i have
trouble like uh when there's you know those words there's a there's a collision of sounds right in the middle of them.
I have a tough time, you know.
When there's a car wreck of noise in the middle of a word, I have a bit of a trouble.
Bit of a trouble with it.
My dog met story in 2006 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Me, my brother, and two friends were walking in the back of an unfinished neighborhood in the black man community black black man that sounds much better than that man i mean that sounds
you're like where's this yeah i was like oh my god that's crazy unfinished neighborhood
in the black man community like oh what is this podcast that's how you say that is super important that's a very important
i should have got some heads up i should have been briefed before we got to that one
maria alvarez shout out from a stenographer
it's when the words like come around the corner and surprise me you know what i mean
it's i don't know they're there and it's it's like i just get the you know stenographer there
you go well i know but it's honestly it's the word just is like i don't know that's a word you
don't see written very often oh no it's whole No. This whole job is writing it, but they just say it.
Yeah, it kind of surprised me.
That's how I look at it.
If I don't know a word, just understand that's what it is.
Onomatopoeia is actually not that hard of a word to say.
But if you look at it, you'd be like, oh, no.
I don't know.
Onomatopoeia.
It kind of just finishes itself.
You start on and you're like, well, I'm going to go ahead and get on.
Might as well do monopoeia.
Yeah, we're already down there.
Matt Oregon, my 10th grade English teacher, taught us that Onomatopoeia is the second most rhyme-ical,
rhyme-ical, rhythm.
What is that word?
Golly.
Rhythmical.
Rhythmical.
Onomatopoeia is the second most rhythmical.
That felt like I was trying to jump over
and not fall in the water during that word.
Rhythmical.
Rhythmical.
Like I just go, like trying to cross a creek and
not get my feet wet you gotta kind of the last one's a little bit farther i'm like i'll get there
during covid i just my foot just started hurting middle of the night i couldn't sleep this is
and i before crispy green this i get i want that on the record yeah yeah that's another do the
crispy cream and it wasn't it wasn't, I looked up like diabetic nerve pain.
I was like, what is this?
Couldn't figure it out.
And I couldn't describe it better than just my foot hurt real bad.
The whole foot.
And I just couldn't sleep.
I called my mom.
She goes, just go to the ER.
It could be a blood clot or something.
I don't know.
So I go to the ER.
I'm the only one there.
And the whole time I was like, they're just going to think that this is not a real thing.
Yeah.
So I was just so nervous about trying to articulate how bad it hurt.
So I'm sitting in the chair thing and the person comes in and they're like, did you hurt it?
Did you bump it into something?
I was like, no.
Did you twist it?
I was just sitting down and it just started hurting.
So she goes okay
and i see her walk out in the hallway and like a group of them and they kind of all look at me at
once and then look back and i was like they're just talking trash out there dude they're like
we'll give you an x-ray maybe i mean it's not a anyway they just gave him sent me home yeah and
it got fine after a while i don't know what hurt you again no it hurt so bad though and i had no
idea what it was walk on it was. Could you walk on it?
No. I couldn't walk on it.
No medicine or anything. It just went away.
They said, just take some ibuprofen.
I was like, can I get a prescription? They were like, look,
you don't need a prescription. I was like, oh my
gosh. Took some aspirin. I didn't even take
100. I just took three or four.
It went away and you're fine now. Yeah, I'm fine.
Danny Pritchard. Aaron,
your foot pain sounds like gout.
I'm 66 years old
and just started experiencing
gout in my foot.
And it is an identical
feeling to what you described.
I'm much older than you.
You're a big boy.
And obesity
is something that can cause gout.
I'm sorry, dude.
That is like, I mean, Danny Pritchard just said,
Aaron, can I talk to you privately for a second?
And sat you down and goes, I don't know how to tell you this, man.
I will say, if you sent me a message or a DM or an email
about the fact that i might have
gout i'm sorry i haven't responded i got dozens yeah dozens of messages yeah people say i need
to get my uric acid level checked yeah yeah when i get a doctor i'll be sure to do that but i need
to get a doctor first uh yeah yeah i'll be all right but thank you thank you everybody driving
or go to walgreens and just go up to the front and go,
how you doing?
I think you can ask the cashier.
Hey.
Not even the pharmacy, just the cashier.
Can you test my uric acid?
Hey, my left foot hurt.
You think it's gout?
Hey, I'm not even 30 yet, and I might have gout.
So can you take a look at that, please?
She's going to go, that makes sense.
I think you got your answer there.
You don't need a doctor.
You just mention it here.
We got doctors on here.
Yeah, we do.
So you just say what your problems are, and then they, I think this is,
if gout feels like the higher percentage.
Yeah.
Was there any other fun ones?
Yeah, there was.
There was diabetes and just nerve damage in general, I think.
A few others.
I mean, this is worse than looking up online.
I mean, just everybody gets the...
Everybody wants to make sure you're fine.
What is gout?
Yeah, gout's a tough one that's tough to all
i know about gout is that it's in the adam sandler lunch lady song he says that the lunch lady has
gout yeah and that put kind of a stigma yeah for me personally yeah you don't want it so i hope i
don't have it you don't have it but but i'll get it checked out just for everybody's peace of mind
yeah because i mean it's i don't see how you don't have it did you cancel your gym membership oh no but somebody commented that i could do that with a letter

if you're unable to do that with work or schedules or just not comfortable coming into the facility
you can always send us a letter in the mail we would just need to see you or that letter in club
by the 10th of any month to avoid any further monthly billing if you happen to have moved out
of state and you're no longer near our particular location, you may be eligible to transfer your account to a location that is closer to you,
and then you would have the option to also go in person or send that location a letter.
Tell me if you have.
Okay.
Okay.
So the only way I can cancel, I can't do it over the phone.
I got to either send a letter or come in.
Send a picture of your account.
If I.
What does the letter say?
If it's just COVID concerns will keep me from coming in,
then the only way is the letter, huh?
That is correct. Yes, sir.
Okay.
Are you getting a lot of people calling to try to do this or am I the first
one?
No, we definitely have a lot of people.
Unfortunately,
whenever we first reopened back in June of 2020, for the first
maybe 60 days, we were accepting things over the phone, but things were getting very murky
as far as people making sure that things were going through the proper way, and it was just
becoming an issue on not only members, but also on members. They would claim that they
called when they really did. It mean, it would be very muddy.
So we have begun
going strictly back
to following
the per agreement
of coming in person
or sending that letter through.
Okay.
Thanks, Allison.
I'll send a letter.
Yes, sir.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Write them a handwritten letter.
A handwritten one?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll do that.
Handwritten is pretty,
I mean,
for them to see the handwritten, they'll go'll do that handwritten is pretty i mean for
them to see the handwritten they'll go think something's wrong with you yeah oh yeah yeah
they might give you more money back because they're like this guy this guy doesn't have a
computer there's a good chance they would give you more money back what day would you do it i'd do it
later today probably when we're done tonight so, you'd put some time in. Tonight.

First iPhone came out in 2007.
Steve Jobs made a prank call order of 4,000 lattes to a nearby Starbucks.
That was the first call?
Yeah.
I remember that.
I watched that live
really that keynote yeah he called uh oh he was doing a keynote and then yeah he showed it was
the first time i remember being amazed by a piece of technology when he scrolled on the iphone for
the first time just on the screen. I remember gasping.
Not air conditioning? I was watching it with my sister.
I grew up with air conditioning.
I didn't.
You probably remember getting it, but I grew up with it.
So when you saw that, you go, you gasped.
I did.
I mean, it was unlike anything you'd ever seen.
This guy's touching a screen and flipping it up.
I'm like gasping.
I mean, like you're watching what
just nothing impresses you you just go i don't know if i'm gonna be sitting you're watching on
a television at home you're not you're not watching houdini in a town square in the 1800s
as you tell me as a 10 year old aaron weber in your living room you go oh did you just he scrolled
on the screen and then and your family came running in.
If you watch the, you can watch the video of that, the crowd gasps as it happens.
I mean, maybe in the room and like, I get, but you're saying in the living, in your living room on your television.
How old were you?
When did this happen?
2007.
2007.

Yeah. What's the matter? What's the matter? Are you gasping? 16? Yeah, when they 15, 16.
What's the matter?
What's the matter with you gasping?
Another grown man on TV scrolling?
I'm not saying I'm not wowed by
things, but I don't know if I'm
gasping. I don't know if I've gasped at
anything. You've never gasped?
I don't think so.
It wasn't
embarrassing. What was that? I don't think so. I mean, it wasn't like, I wasn't, it wasn't embarrassing.
What was that?
I was like, oh, wow.
Mama.
You said they ain't going to do it, but they did it, mama.
He's swapping on his, did you start swapping on your TV and just go, is it going to move?
That's how you change the channel on your TV.
You just started rubbing on the screen.
I wonder if they make as much, though, as a professor.
For that one class?
Yeah, but you get paid class by class.
But they're like a celebrity.
They might get paid more, right?
Yeah.
Who are you talking to?
He was nodding no, answer your question.
I mean, Aaron started his own podcast within the podcast. Who were you talking to? He was nodding no answer questions.
I mean, Aaron started his own podcast within the podcast.
I mean, he's over here.
What is going on?
I look at three feet to the left. He's just, my goodness.
Everybody, please welcome to listen to Aaron Land.
When is it air?
Aaron's airs during Nate Land.
Sorry. I didn't know you Aaron's airs during Nate land. Sorry.
I didn't know you guys were going to do something together.
Give me a heads up.
He's answered the question.
I'm sorry about that, man.
We have so many schools.
That thing's not really working.
Yeah.
It is not.
Well, that's in the back, but.
Yeah.
Why would you not put it in the front where the main problem is?
Well, they were getting on our roof.
It's a major problem.
I mean, dude.
Golly, this is like the bird movie by Alfred Hitchcock about squirrels.
Where they don't like attack you.
They're just like, you know.
And you can't kill them.
Wow.
Well, it's against the law to purposely in city limits to kill them.
You can throw them from an airplane, but they'll still live.
Yeah, they're going to land that.
Yeah.
No problem.
But you can kill a squirrel, right, if it's destroying your property.
How would I kill it?
You set up a trap or something.
Shoot it.
I don't think you can just be shooting them.
Like BB guns, people, you know, something like that.
Yeah.
I mean, by the time you're, I think by the time your brain would tell you to pull that trigger,
that squirrel's going to be fine.
I don't think you're going to hit it.
Brian out there, the BB gun, the Air Force hat, shooting squirrels.
And that balance, it just looks like something's wrong with him, you know?
Like, the neighbors are like, they see her parents come out,
and they just think like,
oh, he still lives with his parents.
Like they don't know that.
He's got that hat on,
that camouflage hat with a BB gun.
He's just out there looking at all these squirrels
and her parents come out,
did you get them?
And they're like,
oh, I guess he still lives with
his parents that i think they can't see me sniper i mean there's i mean they would like his back
wet backpack on it's dripping water and they just people just coming up asking if he's okay. He goes, yeah, I'm doing real good. You know, I live on my own now.
I think that's the tops.
Yeah.
I think that's the top.
Thank you.
After years of fine print contracts and getting ripped off by big wireless providers, if we've learned anything, guys, it's that there's always a catch.
Always.
Every time. So when I first heard that Mint Mobile offers premium wireless starting at just $15 a month,
I thought, what's the catch?
Right.
There isn't one.
Mint Mobile's secret sauce is that they're the first company to sell wireless service
online only.
They cut out the cost of retail stores and pass those sweet savings directly.
Hey, I'm Jillian.
And I'm Patrick.

So I feel like we can't escape it anyway.
We'll see what everybody thinks about it.
See how it feels.
See how it feels.
Let's go, folks.
Welcome, everybody, to the podcast.
I started with the let's go.
I don't know if that's going to be the...
I mean, truthfully, all this being said,
I do think I get to decide what I want to say.
I mean, that is true.
So I enjoy talking about it and being in the mix.
How did it feel just now?
Let's go, folks.
It feels great.
I like it.
I like it. i like it i like the specific it's uh we did what you threw a poll up on instagram and twitter and so what what were the to let's go and hello
folks here's the instagram results 1400 people uh oh i mean over 2 000 people voted 62 hello folks 38 let's go folks what i would say
is a lot of this is uh it's people that don't want change yeah and that's uh you know uh laura
you know who over here people that are stuck in their ways all All three of our Y's voted for hello folks. Oh did they really?
Yeah.
Did they listen to it?
That's the thing too.
Did people listen to the.
And hear the explanation and hear the context for it.
Yeah and everything.
I don't know if Laura did.
Yeah Laura doesn't.
Here's the Twitter.
Hello folks same thing.
Everybody still likes hello folks. Because we've been doing hello, folks.
Hello, folks.
I'm not saying I'm against.
I like hello, folks.
I think let's go, folks, is just stands out more.
Yeah.
I think that's it's different.
Hello, folks, is we're just saying the same greeting that's been said for 100 years yeah right you think well a lot of it is in
the the inflection that you do it i think that is unique in a way let's go how many people well
well the hell even hello folks hello hello folks yeah i mean who talks like that yeah
yeah i'm not changing the folks look it's not for not for sure yet. We're going to do another. We can do another poll, but we're not doing it now. Give it, let us breathe.
We'll keep doing polls until we get the results we want.
Yeah.
We'll do another one. How long do you guys want this to go on, if you know what I mean?
We're doing it again, but I want it to be a little.
Let's let everybody.
I want you to think in your soul about this.
Get into it.
I might switch.
Let me think about it a little more.
Maybe it's hello, folks.
Maybe I just want it to be back hello, folks. Can we have both huh could we do both we can't yeah you can do everybody do whatever you want but i don't know what the point of uh it's the inch if it's the intro to the podcast i'm not
gonna go hello folks let's go folks like you're getting nowhere yeah That's how someone gets where they don't,
they go nowhere in life is they go,
let's just do both.
Let's turn quickly.
Yeah.
That's what happens.
You don't make a decision.
You don't make a decision.
You don't move forward.
You kind of sit in the decision of two things.
Is that not true?
I got way more serious than I was anticipating. You pivoted that into like real life advice that's that is but i'm but that's uh that's
why you can't just sit and do i mean i don't know that's you wanted you asked if we could do two i'm
telling you the reason why i know but we just did a poll where overwhelmingly then he was like let's
just let it sit for a while you did did a poll. Was the episode even up?
I put that out, I think, three days later.
I mean, people listen to this podcast like on way.
We're acting like we're on a live show.
It comes out.
People listen to it.
People are going to think about it.
I'm letting people think.
We're making a decision.
We'll come back.
I'm on board with let's go, folks,
but I hope the next poll is like 90% hello, folks.
And they send it just as an answer.
I just hope it's gone the other way.
Don't just do that just to make a point.
That's true.
If that happens, I'm going to make sure.
Answer honestly.
Yeah.
I'm going to make it.
We're going to do another poll if that happens.
So it's this week.
You know, if you don't want to do it, obviously a lot of you, like Joe,
might be over this.
I think a lot of comments have been, at this point, we don't care.
Just stop talking about it.
We don't have to do the poll.
No, no, no.
Let's do the poll.
Okay.
Let's see.
It can be three questions.
Here's what I think.
I think it should be, hello, folks.
That's this.
This, we're in hello, folks. And if we see each other out in the wild, I think it's what I think. I think it should be hello folks. That's this, this we're in hello folks.
And if we see each other out in the wild,
I think it's whatever you want.
Hello folks are let's go folks.
I think it's fun to like,
you can be let's go folks and you scream like that kind of thing.
Like,
you know,
it's kind of,
it's,
it's,
it's both of them.
It may is hello folks is the response.
Let's go folks.
Or maybe say I'm a hello folks person.
I'm a let's go folks person,
but we're all folks and we all get along. So hello folks only let's go folks only or, folks. Or maybe say, I'm a hello, folks person. I'm a let's go, folks person. But we're all folks, and we all get along.
So hello, folks only.
Let's go, folks only.
Or hello, folks slash let's go, folks.
Hello, folks.
Let's go, folks in the wild.
Okay.
Does people get that?
I don't think I get it.
Not in here.
Like when we're out and about.
It's your own choice.
Hello, folks.
Let's go, folks.
You know, does that make sense?
That's basically what it is.
I don't know if we have to do a poll.
All right.
We don't even have to do the poll.
Okay, yeah.
There's no reason for the poll.
I think it's hello, folks, here.
Moving forward.
We're done.
You can still in your comments, you want to write let's go, folks.
Like, that's funny.
Like, it's a funny. They're both funny things. But hello, folks, is how we will done you can still in your comments you're all right let's go folks like that's funny like it's a funny they're both funny things but hello folks is how we will greet you how we will start

We're going to rank it in order like the way the prayer is ranking like where people in states and they go well alaska
does uh they did the stroke first but most of the other country did the baby first at the end of the
episode i watched after the sign off as an as nate walked to breakfast and i expected him to give him
a hug or something after breakfast is big news.
Instead, he reached over and grabbed some Sour Patch Kids.
Typical Nate, keep up the good work.
That's so funny.
That was good.
Yeah.
We've hugged.
I don't think we did.
Did we hug?

Occasionally.
When you got married.
Yep.
When this baby's born.
I mean, the fact that you guys are ever going to argue about it just proves it's not enough.
I just wish we hugged more is what I'm saying.
Yeah, there's a point.
I hugged...
Yeah, there's my buddy Dan Chackie.
We never would shake hands when we would leave because he'd be like, we're about to see...
You know, it's like sometimes it's like
you're like, what are we doing?
But I like hugging.
But when you're around someone all the time, I'm not hugging.
Here's the end. So you get up.

Man.
Man.
priorities so there's a regional in pittsburgh and it's it's not in the city but the saturday you know
a group of little people are like let let's go and see downtown Pittsburgh.
So this one girl, she has a new minivan.
All right.
We're all little people.
Her dad just bought this new brand new, beautiful minivan, accessible van, you know, very expensive.
So we go into downtown Pittsburgh and everyone's drinking, you know, and I'm not because, you know, it's early and I was just tired.
So the girl whose minivan it is, she only had like one beer, but she was like, I probably shouldn't drive.
I was like, I'll drive.
I'm fine.
You know, and so now we're on the fourth floor of a parking garage that is on a very heavy, incline okay fourth floor down and so i get in
very confident okay i'm a good driver and i i start the car and i and i you know put it i put
my foot on the brake now and i put it in reverse now what happens is the pedal extension falls off the brake so you have to they you put
an extension on so i obviously i drive with pedal extension so it's like a regular pedal but there's
two extended bars that attach to the pedals yeah one on the gas one on the brake so when i put the
car in reverse and i put my foot on the brake i I don't know how, but my foot just knocks that brake
pedal off. So now all of a sudden, within a second, we are just full speed going backwards
down on the fourth floor. And there's a guardrail where we could just go over five little people in
this minivan. We're just dead. So real instinct, I'm like, look, I got to save us. So I just start
hitting cars on the way. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. I'm slowing us down and I hit
seven cars. And now I get out and she is just like, I cannot believe this. This is the brand
new minivan my family has been saving for and i just hit seven cars i smashed
so now we have to just sit there and wait to tell all these people that i along with these other
five innocent little people just smashed and destroyed all these cars i mean just so many
people walking out like seven people like it's mean, possibly 15 people are walking out.
And you're like, how you doing?
Did you park on the fourth floor?
You got to ask if they're like, yeah.
All right, well, we probably got some news for you.
And then we got to get back to the hotel later because this is the convention.
Yeah.
And that's like the talk of the conference.
Every little person knows what happens.
Like, everyone's mad.
You know, this family has been saving up for this minivan.
And this is years ago. We're talking about 15 years ago but i actually saw that girl um you know i see her all
the time but a couple years ago she's like you know we're still paying off for that
i told you the story about going to have a spot roof for my face and they told me to put on a
hospital gown and i'd never i've never been
in the hospital yeah so i didn't know if you're supposed to take your clothes off or not so i
started i was for some reason my head i thought it'll look dumber if i still have my clothes on
yeah so i just started stripping down and right when i just get down to the bear the nurse knocks
on the door and i was like just a minute and she And she's like, it's just me, hon.
And I was thinking, man, we just met.
And she comes on in with an intern
and I'm just whatever.
She's like, oh, you didn't have to take your bottoms off, hon.
Yeah.
So where does your spot get removed?
Right here.
Next to your eye.
So then she has to leave the room
and I have to completely put all my clothes
back on and then the gown on.
Why?
Why did you have to put the gown on to begin with?
To just keep blood from
getting on me because
I completely
stripped down. You took your jeans off.
I took everything off.
My socks are off.
Yeah.
It's like a normal doctor's office.
Like, they're going like, yeah, we don't do stuff like this, man.
Like, you had.
She had an intern with her.
Yeah.
Good night.
Walks in.
Did they laugh?
I think they were more startled than anything.
But then I have to put it all back on and then he comes in with her and the
intern.
And I'm just like,
I know they've been out there talking about you.
Everybody's talked about you.
Yeah.
Oh,
everybody.
Yeah.
That was like,
and they went home.
The guy in 431 took all his clothes off.
He looks like he would have.
They know immediately who you're talking. Yeah. Don't tell me. Let me guess. Oh, good. Because he looks like he would have. Is it good?
They know immediately who you're talking?
Yeah.
Don't tell me.
Let me guess.
My wallet's gone.
My wallet's gone.
I mean.
God, they make you really study when you sell peanut butter, huh?
Yeah, I mean, you know.
People ask these questions. You just don't go selling it.
Yeah.
You know what's happening.
You show up at somebody's doorstep.
You better know your stuff. Yeah. I think nowadays. There was no doorsteps, it. Yeah. You know what's happening. You show up at somebody's doorstep, you better know your stuff.
Yeah.
I think nowadays.
There was no doorsteps, man.
I know.
It wasn't selling Girl Scout cookies or something, man.
Encyclopedias.
Come on.
I had big accounts, Darren.
Big accounts.
You tie the horse up to the thing and walk inside.
I had like Kroger.
You know, like I had.
Ooh.
Yeah.
All right.
Wow. God. My bad, man. Yeah, man. Iroger. You know, like I had. Ooh. Yeah. All right. Wow.
God.
My bad, man.
Yeah, man.
I'm sorry.
You're kind of belittling what I did.
You got Todd Kroger into buying peanut butter.
They were an anti-peanut butter.
Go ahead.
No, no.
Now you sound like my dad.
Okay.
Who was like, you know, I always had a hard time explaining the job.
It was a good job.
Yeah.
It was like, you know, paid a lot and it was a competitive job to get but my dad was
like well you know you're you're not you're not really in sales i'm like yeah yeah i am you know
he's like well i've been going to grocery store for 60 years and they've always had jiff peanut
butter yeah what do they need you for i'm like ah it's not about it's not about like whether they
carry it or not.
It's about how much they sell to their consumer.
And there's all kinds of things, dials and switches I can move to help them sell more.
And he'd still be like, yeah, yeah, you're not in sales.
Like the display and such.
Display is a big display.
Shelf placement.
Shelf placement is another.
Shelf placement is another.
You would be eye level?
You'd like to be eye level. Yeah, you'd like to be eye level? You'd like to be eye level.
Yeah.
You'd like to have a block.
You'd like to have a real nice block.
I don't know why that's funny, Nate.
I'm telling you, this is important stuff here.
He said you'd like to be eye level.
It's just such a serious.
I felt like I was interviewing to be a period.
I go, so we want to be eye level?
You'd like to be.
Don't expect to be eye level.
You're not just going to walk in there and be eye level.
You're just going to walk in and say you're eye level. I mean, yeah, you're a new kid on the block. Don't think you're going to try to throw you like to be don't don't expect to be eye level you walk in there and be eye level you just walk in and say you're out i mean yeah you're new kid on the block don't think you're
gonna they're gonna try to throw you at the bottom the first day yeah yeah i mean and i saw it in a
lot of different places i mean jiff we were we were brand leader usually we were if you walk
into a store today and you see jiff on the bottom shelf somebody did something to make somebody
angry yeah interesting yeah now uh pringles
that was a whole we were you know you sold pringles yeah i sold pringles so you got a peanut
butter no no we i was saying they were the same company i sold pringles jiff duncan hines is
pringles considered a potato chip it is you're selling very easy you're selling things that are
not easy i mean these i'm i think i'm on your dad's team. I know. You're selling stuff that's like, I don't know.
I swear I went through this.
The things that I have to have.
I went through this, but I was like.
That's like you're selling cocaine.
It goes pretty good.
People really like it.
You go, oh, is it hard to do?
No, but I had competitors.
You go up against Skippy and see how well you do.
Jif is the main one.
It is the main, but it got there through guys like me.
Food's on the ground.
Food's on the ground.
Yeah.
Shoe leather and knuckles.
And now we know who to thank.
Yeah.
Okay.
When I started, Jif was spelled with a G.
Y'all are like the Moneyball chip.
Like y'all were.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're like Moneyball in baseball.
Your first ones use analytics. There's rich companies and there's poor companies. chip like y'all were yeah yeah you're like moneyball and baseball like yeah your first
ones use analytics there's rich companies and there's poor companies yeah yeah 50 feet of crap
and then there's pringles wait a minute man no no no we weren't that you know that that uh
we were so was pizza licious a big deal for y'all? I think Pizza-licious slated right in at like a number five in our flavor lineup.
Here's the thing, and it's a secret.
The red can original, red can, you're doing about 80% of the volume in that red can.
I don't know what's funny about this.
I mean, this is important stuff.
Number five in the flavor lineup.
Yeah.
Which they probably had it slated
in a nine when they probably thought it was coming in at a nine you had red can original is 80 of the
business yeah okay and then you had uh um what we called right crisp couldn't call it light we did
call it light and then they said we couldn't because it wasn't it wasn't low fat enough back
then so we had to call it right chris it was in a couldn't because it wasn't low-fat enough back then.
So we had to call it right crisp.
It was in a silver can.
That was usually the number two.
So y'all didn't think about making the chip healthier.
You just said we'll just change the name a little bit.
I mean, it was healthier.
Yeah, it was healthier.
It was healthier.
I agree.
Just not enough.
Not enough.
Not enough.
I still think it was a smart choice.
I mean, you know.
And then the green can sour cream and onion. That's a solid, solid flavor.
And then Cheezums.
Cheezums was probably a number four.
And I'll tell you, and I lose sleep over it even today.
We never got the barbecue product right.
Yeah.
We never got our fair share of the barbecue business.
We didn't.
And that's a big deal in chips.
A huge deal in chips.
I go barbecue a lot.
Yeah.
I go barbecue probably the most I would go of something.
And it's Lay's Barbecue, right?
Do you eat barbecue Pringles?
No.
You don't?
No.
That's true.
That's on us, man.
That is.
That is on us.
That's not on you.
That's not on you.
The fact that you guys own-
Yeah, you own up to it.
You own up to it.
I will go do more of your barbecue Pringles.
Yeah. Let's go, folks. You own up to it. I will go do more of your barbecue Pringles. Yeah.
Let's go, folks.
Well, welcome, everybody.
Thanks for listening to this.
This is the 100th episode, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, pretty crazy.
Did you think we'd make it?
To 100?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't think I thought of it.
You didn't think we'd make it yeah brian and
i yeah you knew you'd get here when i look at both y'all thank golly how did y'all slip by me
for 100 episodes uh no i don't know if i uh no i mean i thought you know i don't know i don't know
what i thought when we started it but it's you know mean, every time I go to shows, people come up, they listen to it, they love it.
It is fun to do.
So it's great.
And I love that.
I mean, I love how much people are listening to it.
And so it's fun.
100 episodes.
Yeah.
So with 100 episodes, we are going to change up something a little bit.
And yeah, Bates, you go.
You move up to my role, Bates.
I'm in your role.
Let's switch.
People voted and they wanted more Brian.
So we're going to change it up and we're adding a fourth co-host.
Oh, man.
So it'll be four of us.
I know people, you know, we've mentioned stuff like that.
I think it's fun.
I'm excited about it.
It's just another comic, another someone that's funny that I think fits very well with us.
I believe we haven't blurred out right now.
And if, I mean, if you're at home, you're trying to guess, you can pause it.
If you want to pause it and try to take a shot.
I mean, you think they could.
I don't know.
Who are we going to guess?
He's appeared on the show before.
Aaron, do you want to take a guess?
Would you have any idea?
Yeah, I got a pretty good clue.
Well, he's blurred out, Aaron.
So how could you see him?
Can I guess?
You took that like it was a real beating.
I thought we were going to go play long.
You made it sound like I really just yelled at you.
Oh, yeah.
It was a cower over here in the corner.
You go, I'm sorry.
My bad, dude.
Can I guess?
Yeah.
I'm going to say it's the guy that used to work with your sister,
who's the Bigfoot expert.
He is.
It is. We brought him in. Bigfoot expert. He is. It is.
We brought him in.
He was great.
He was amazing.
Welcome to Nate Land, Dusty Slick.
All right.
All right.
We're having a good time.
Having a good time.
Wow, that buildup really had me.
You know what I mean?
I was more nervous about that build up than going
on shows yeah well we're look i think uh uh we're big fans obviously and i think you fit well with
us uh you grew up poorer than all of us which is nice yeah bring in a real poor aspect to this a
lot of money floating around this table yeah well. Well, we didn't have money.
Aaron comes from a pretty wealthy family.
That's right.
Big time.
He comes from Royals.
Yes.
And then, but so me and Bates wanted to feel, we wanted to be able to punch down.
And we were like, well, who could we get?
Yes.
Oh, Dustin was in a trailer park.
That's right.
I brought food stamps with me this time around just to pass out, just so you knew what they
look like.
That's how we're paying them.
So we're the Milky Way.
We're named after that candy bar.
And then.
That's what they'll have at that wedding.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Milky Ways.
Yeah.
Why would we be named after a candy bar?
It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
It's better than Baby Ruth.
Yeah, but I wish it should get its own fame.
Yeah.
You know?
All right, Kit Kat.
Yeah.
When did the Milky Way get...
It got named after the...
When did we call it the Milky Way?
Why did they call it the Milky Way?
Because it looks like Milky?
Butterfinger Galaxy.
That'd be a lot of fun.
Ooh.
Because you know what's on the outside,
but you don't really know what's on the inside the milky
way candy bar was created in 1923 yeah uh the name and taste derived from a then popular malted milk
drink of the day not after the astronomical so when did we start calling it the milky way yeah
so we did name the galaxy after the candy bar well yeah we might have uh the term was actually used uh 2500 years ago
so a little bit earlier we call them the galaxy the milk way a little longer than the candy bar
but i think saying that you named the candy bar after a milkshake seems a little inaccurate
they shouldn't let them do it just because you're like man you're kind of just ruining what we're
doing with space yeah it really like takes
the kind of steam out of it when you you know it's like it's also a candy bar yeah that's how
little serious we take it is we're naming it as and it's not even one of our real great ones oh
golly you think a milky Way is that good oh my god
you hit a button there
start this podcast over man
you think a Milky Way
Milky Way is
man
the number one
in my opinion
oh
no way
I enjoy a Milky Way
but number one
number one
oh my goodness
I don't know if I've even had one
saying all this
oh
that's how
over Snickers dude it's like one saying all this over Snickers
it's like a weak Snickers
Snickers with no peanuts
it's like a weak Snickers
I'm not trying to eat a meal at a candy bar
I want a Milky Way, it's just nice and smooth
caramel, chocolate
it's the right texture, it's the right size
it's everything you need
what was first, Snickers or Milky Way?
I don't like I didn't
I don't think I've ever
had a Milky Way
or you know
but I
people
people
Snickers Galaxy
get rid of them
yeah like
the little fun size
yeah it's your favorite one
it's my favorite one
and I don't even think
it's close
more than a Reese's
Snickers came after
the Milky Way
and the Milky Way
paved the way dude
Milky Way walked so Snickers could run.
It's the most unoriginal thing that you named it after the,
oh, do you want to eat my moon Skittles?
Why don't you come up with your own name that's not, you know,
you can't, Snickers is a great, like, that's a name that's made up.
I'm just shocked at the reaction that Aaron has had.
Hey, would you like a Jupiter?
It tastes like banana.
I've never seen Aaron so fired up my whole life.
I've never seen someone even think about Milky Ways like that.
I love a Milky Way.
I mean, I need to try one.
We have these bells, too.
We bought bells.
You walk around the bell, and it rings a little bit, and a bear bell.
And so it's enough so the bear would hear you.
Because the bear doesn't want to meet you but it's like if you walk up on it it's that's when you can get
in trouble the bell thing though we wore it the first day and no one else had a bell and i felt
so stupid as we're walking by these people like ding and then i looked it up and people were like
yeah those don't you know because it's like they're not loud enough like the bears hearing is like our hearing i think and so it's like you know i don't know it's like
maybe it would work and it's not you could do it but it's if you i mean we're walking by children
without bells and so i was like all right we were yelling hey bear so much and you just go hey bear
just a group of family of four walks by. You're like.
And you're like, oh. Thought you were a bear.
Paul D.
I think hey, bear should be the response to hello, folks.
I like that.
Yeah, that's fun.
You know, the last podcast, I started with hey, bear.
Yeah.
I love a nice hey, bear.
Yeah.
Hey, bear.
A lady that gave me candy wrote a note, and it said hey, bear.
Yeah.
To me.
I like hey, bear. Yeah. To me. I like Hey bear.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Could be good.
It's hello folks.
I mean,
like when it's,
uh,
yeah,
it's like,
Hey bear.
So,
you know,
cause I do hello folks.
I do.
Let's go folks.
When we start the podcast,
maybe let's go bears.
Yeah.
Uh,
Jay color.
Uh,
Hey bear.
Yeah.
Hey bear.
Just got to pop in whenever.
Yeah. Hey bear. It feels like it's one that
uh it pops in we were doing it on the trip and they're they're very funny to pop in hay bear
yeah like just throwing a nice hay bear out of nowhere yeah you know and if you're hiking and
you do a hay bear and someone gives you a hello folks back yeah then you know what's happening that's yeah you know what's going on yeah hello folks yeah hey bear hey that is a pretty even let's go for like it
is funny someone goes hello folks hey bear and then see yeah yeah because then people will be
very confused yeah on that that could be it could it y'all can you know i like it i like the you know the, you know, I like the less, I like people, you know,
I'll talk to Harper and we were talking about hello folks and let's go folks.
And we said, what, I was like, what are you?
And she said, she thinks she's more let's go folks.
But I like that there is a hello folks and let's go.
Like there is a, it is like, you know, I met someone in Paso
and they were, you there were fewer hello folks,
and then ones like, I'm a let's go.
And it is.
You kind of get who the person is.
Yeah.
And I do like that.
I do like hay bear.
Hay bear.
All right.
Hello, folks, and hay bear.
I like hay bear now.
I got hay bear all weekend for people.
It's fun.
Hay bear is great.
It's like it Hay bear is great. It's like, it is the good, I think someone said it in the comments.
It's the best response.
The let's go folks.
Like, hey, if you say hello folks, you go hay bear.
Because it's such an opposite that it does.
So I agree.
I guess if we take a vote, the vote was hay bear.
We didn't take a vote.
I've been getting some hay bear too.
And I think like if a lady says hay bear to me, I'm like, my wife is going to be upset about this.
Like people come up, they go, hay bear.
And I'm like, I don't know if that's okay.
It sounds like you're already in another relationship so much that y'all have dick names for each other.
Right, right.
She's like, it can't even be like, oh, did y'all just meet?
You're like, we've been dating for five to six years
and she calls me bear and I go, hey bear.
Well, as far as bear attacks,
it basically said, don't do what you suggested.
Don't try to run from the bear.
Grizzly bear, that is.
Because no one's trying it.
They said they can run as fast as a horse.
Wow. And they'll catch you as fast as a horse. Wow.
And they'll catch you.
It doesn't matter.
It's the...
It's the juice of the doubt.
Shake and bake.
Barry Sanders could evade a grizzly bear.
Yeah, I bet so.
I bet Barry Sanders could tackle a grizzly bear.
Well, he's a running back.
No, if you get...
But you tell me, though, he couldn't tackle it?
You tell me Barry Sanders couldn't tackle it? Come on. Come on. You sound like a guy... I feel like you slur, though, he couldn't tackle it? You tell me Barry Sanders couldn't tackle it?
Come on.
Come on.
It sounded like a guy.
It felt like you slurred that, too.
It did.
It sounded like an old drunk Dusty.
You tell me Barry Sanders.
Barry Sanders.
You said Barry Sanders can't tackle a foot good, and you're like, Dusty, are you driving?
Did you?
driving?
Did you?
Very sad.
You look at me in the face.
You sound occasion.
Right now in the face, you're going to look at me in the eyes, face, and say,
best sons,
best sons,
can't take a good bit.
Best sons,
can't take a good bit.
Is that what you're
going to tell me right now?
All right, Dusty.
All right, buddy.
This guy,
something's wrong with him.
Supposedly,
I don't know for sure,
but someone told me afterwards
that I think
there could have been
a fight that broke out.
You know,
I got an email this morning
from someone who said,
was it the late show?
Yeah.
They apologized because they said his wife, her hair, I guess, was hanging over the seat, the guy behind him.
And the guy put his knee on her hair to pin it against the chair.
Yeah.
And they got into a, not a fist fight, but they got in a big argument.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what I heard.
So I sat in the second show.
I watched the whole thing.
It was awesome to just sit in the crowd and watch.
And I had a real out-of-character moment.
The guy in front of me, every joke you did, he would turn to his side and be like,
I would do that.
Yeah.
Like relating to all your jokes, but in an annoying way.
Yeah.
And I had a really out-of-character moment. I leaned leaned forward i grabbed the dude on the shoulder and i go enough whoa wow
maybe that's what you heard maybe that it felt awesome did his wife have long hair yeah
aaron is this what we're getting to it was you i said enough dude and then i leaned back and i
thought about the whole show you know yeah right when ended, I go, hey, sorry about that, man.
He was like, no, it's fine.
I told you Arizona's wild.
It's too hot.
It's just too hot out there.
There's not enough humidity.
You need some.
But I've never confronted anybody in a moment like that.
Do you think that guy even knew what you meant by enough?
I don't think I know.
He heard the tone of my voice.
He knew what was going on.
He knew he was misbehaving.
So he's relating to Nate's comedy and having a good time,
and you told him to stop.
But, you know, thousands of other people were doing that
without conversing about it right after the joke.
We needed you in the audience of the shows we did in Arizona.
Yeah, probably.
I would like, I had Aaron walk around just
if people, if they laughed
too loud, not high enough,
he would just keep them
kind of at bay. If they weren't really laughing,
he's like, not enough. Not enough.
Up, up, up, up, up.
And then if they started
laughing too loud, I'd go, what are we doing? Aaron just
grabs his shoulder, hey, what are we doing? And if their hair
was too long, he would just pin it to the chair.
Yeah.
Ben Meehan.
Ben Meehan.
Meehan.
Meehan?
I recently convinced my wife to start listening to the podcast,
and she happened to be watching the malls episode this morning.
I overheard Aaron getting sappy about how malls bring everyone together,
yada, yada, yada. I knew it
sounded familiar.
I think what's still appealing about a mall
is there's no other place
in American life where there's just
a cross section.
All different
types of people are in there. I don't know
if there's another place where you go and you just see
people, all different backgrounds.
Oh, man.
It's America.
Everybody has to stop there.
I think that's the one.
It looks, yeah.
Wow.
I mean, it's word for word almost.
It's unbelievable.
Some of these drinks should float.
Some of them should not.
You guys want to guess before we do it?
I'm betting diet floats.
I'm trying to think what I've dropped in a lake before.
And if you look at the cans.
I think diet floats.
If you look at the cans, they're all the same size.
So if you're listening, what we've got on the table here is a tub full of water.
And in front of it, we've got four different caffeinated beverages.
Not necessarily caffeinated, but carbonated.
Diet Coke, Coke Zero,
regular Coke, and then a Pepsi
Wild Cherry.
I meant to get regular Pepsi, but I grabbed it too fast.
I don't know, Wild Cherry might be a variable.
Do you want to try it, Nate?
Ooh, just...
It's floating.
That's floating yeah that's floating
I think if the tub
was bigger
I think that one
would float
it would float
upside down
that's kind of half
yeah
inconclusive
I think it's showing us
that they didn't
fill that all the way up
yeah
there's some air
left in that
yeah alright
so regular coat
regular coat
same
so I guess it's
trying to float
I think it's trying to
but I think it's it's it's uh part of it goes
down not enough water so far this has been great yeah so coke zero coke zero that floats more than
that it's flooded the best i definitely floated more yeah yeah all right all right that floated
i think if the thing were deeper it would would be. It would work? Yeah.
Diet Coke's the same one.
It's all the same one.
Well, no.
You wouldn't see those two first ones?
Basically the same.
All right. So that didn't work.
I stopped at Kroger for nothing.
They're all in there.
And they're all exactly the same.
I'm Nate.
This is Aaron Weber.
Dusty Slay.
All right.
And...
Another Dusty Slay.
All right.
That's what I'm talking about.
All right. We're having a good time. All right. Having a good time'm talking about. All right.
We're having a good time.
Having a good time.
We could use more of this.
Ash, the sheriff hat.
Where'd you get that hat?
This is, it's not easy being dusty.
I've learned that.
Yeah.
The hat is, I can't even talk with this thing.
Hang on.
The hat is my second cousin, Terry Ash.
He was the sheriff in Wilson County for about 20 years.
Wow.
That's a good hat.
From the mid-80s to the mid-2000s.
So the hat was the easiest part.
Yeah.
This beard riding up on my mouth here is the hard part.
Yeah, beard.
The hair, I had a brown wig, but it was like a clam rock too long.
Yeah.
I wish I'd have kept it.
So my wife convinced me to take it back.
You kind of got the opposite color thing going.
I got the darker beard and the lighter hair.
Which is, I think, good.
Yeah.
I think it's a nice.
Yeah, a little mismatch here.
Yeah.
Kind of works well.
Yeah.
So I took it back.
My wife convinced me to take it back and get a shorter wig.
How much money did that save you taking it back?
It saved me $250.
Okay. This looks good on you. it back? It saved me $250. Okay.
This looks good on you.
I mean, I'm into this look.
The glasses were the hard part.
I texted Dusty and I said, hey, where do you get your glasses?
He said at a thrift store.
I got my others at a thrift store, yeah.
I went to Goodwill.
Didn't have glasses.
Got this shirt at Goodwill.
Yeah.
And then I went to another thrift store.
Could not find the glasses.
Had to order these online.
It's the best I could do.
How much total all in?
About $100.
Oh, really?
Wow.
That's about right.
That's about right.
$100 for the whole.
Yeah.
The glasses were like 30-something just for the shipping.
The shirt was five.
You save the money by just getting a haircut once or twice a year.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A lot of savings comes in there.
Why don't we throw our trash to Saturn?
I've always said that.
Or they throw it to, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Start shipping the trash off.
Yeah, we got-
Haul it to outer space?
Yeah.
And send it to one of these garbage planets
that nothing, what does it matter?
That's what I'm saying.
It's just like, you just gotta get,
everything's gonna burn up and then become a ring.
So you just start like launching- It's not a bad idea. everything's gonna burn up and then become a ring so you just start like launching
it's not a bad idea
all your people magazines
up there
no it is
it is a bad idea
if they can find a way
to do it cost
yeah sure
someday
yeah
yeah the cost is
we're making the cost up
so it's like
yeah just do it
yeah just do it
I mean it's not
we're not calling
another planet
to ask for money
but first we need to take our trash to the moon.
Well, every time we launch a rocket, take a little trash.
Yeah.
Go, hey, you're already up there.
Yeah.
Do you think it's ethical to just launch space out into the abyss,
launch trash into the abyss?
Well, I mean, you got Saturn.
That's not what's the point of it.
You can't target it and shoot it right into Saturn, so it just burns up. Yeah, I mean, you got Saturn. That's not what's the point of it. So you have to target it and shoot it right into Saturn so it just burns up?
Yeah, I mean, there's no point to, you know.
Just an empty vacuum up there, right?
Yeah.
If the aliens come and go, hey, you guys been the ones dumping all this trash out here?
Yeah.
And then we'll go, honestly, we didn't know you were out there.
Yeah.
They'll understand.
Yeah.
Have an ongoing argument.
I think that if ants were as intelligent
as humans on average,
that the ants would be able to take over
humans and kill them all. There are
2.5 million ants per one
human and they are strong.
My son disagrees and thinks humans would be
able to take them out. What do you think?
I think humans still win. I't know if they're two and
a half million to one yeah your your entire body i mean and like that means let's say it takes
i don't even know it would take half a million to cover your whole body how many things would
take let's say just say if it's 500,000 ants covers your entire body,
like they could crawl on your body.
That means it's out of every human,
there's four kind of things that go.
Well, I guess it depends like where are we starting from?
Are the ants where they're at right now
and then all of a sudden they get smart?
Because we already got chemicals, right? So if the the war just began we could just start killing them yeah just massive everybody
kill all the ants yeah well what does it mean for them to have human intelligence can they all of a
sudden talk like human beings and communicate with each other i think it's like a father and
son having fun and y'all are not and that's a part of it uh i just think if we were like all
right we're at war with the ants you believe in the human spirit yeah we got to turn it up
and we got to go a wall on these i don't know. Now the only, without leave,
we,
you have to,
yeah,
we got to go,
you know,
wild on these ants.
I just don't think
you would ever know
where they're at.
Yeah.
I don't think you'd ever
know where they're at.
Like it'd be hard to,
they get underground,
they get,
they could just hide
and then they can be planted.
The other thing is too,
you could go to the water,
you'd go to the ocean. Yeah. But then if they get on your boat, it's bad news. But you would go to
the ocean. I guess you'd have to get out on water. But I think your saving grace if you're a human
being is these ant colonies are not going to be, there's no central organization with the ants.
These colonies are going to be acting independently because they have no way to
communicate with each other. So an ant colony in India is not going to communicate with a fire ant colony in Alabama, right?
So they're just going to be these sort of independent groups moving around trying to take out humans.
We have the power of communication with each other.
We can coordinate.
We can combine our efforts.
I like our chances.
I mean, there's just two and a half million to one.
I mean, do the math on that.
How many people are on Earth?
It's just past eight billion, right?
So do eight billion, and then what's times two and a half million?
I have it here.
It's like 40 quadrillion or something.
I mean.
But where are they dispersed across the globe?
But you can pour gas into an anthill and then light it.
20 quadrillion.
They're all gone.
It's an number that's unimaginable.
Yeah. We can relocate
to an island. These ants can't
swim across water. 8 million people can't
go to the island. What about anteaters? We would
train anteaters and they would be on our team.
There you go. This is like Infinity War
and Avengers, but there were so many
of those creatures that they overtook us,
remember? But anteaters would be on our side. I think think it just never stops it's just the sheer numbers for you is that
that seems to be the thing holding you back well 20 quadrillion is not is it's not even a number
it's like it's so much that it's not even and it's just the sheer force i mean just think of it you
had to fight two and a half million ants yeah could you beat two and a half million ants i could
in a room.
With all the resources of the US government?
Yeah, I think I could.
No, no, no.
It's got to be, I'm breaking it down just one on one.
Okay.
You in a room with two and a half million ants.
How big is the room?
It also depends on the type of ants.
Airplane hanger, I hope. Right?
If it's these little sugar ants, easy.
I win.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But if it's army ants.
Fire ants.
Like the army ants that you see in the jungles in Africa.
I mean, they will tear you up.
Now, those are the ones that are scary.
Spectracide would be the front line of defense.
Yeah, ants can't hide from spectracide.
Do you think you'd get drafted?
Yeah, I think so.
I think you'd be a general.
You're talking about these kind of ants right here with these pinchers on them?
Yeah, I mean, now those. Yeah, these are terrifying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean you'd be a general. You're talking about these kind of ants right here with these pinchers on them? Yeah, I mean, now those-
These are terrifying.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I've seen them tear apart animals on National Geographic.
But just imagine if this thing had hopes and dreams and aspirations-
Yeah, I know.
And ambition.
But I think the ants would get jealous of each other.
And they would be like, well, the army ants are really taking over.
And I don't like that.
There's going to be some internal issues with these ants.
Yeah, but you're acting
like we're doing
just in general
a great job
as a country team.
We're holding this together
better than these ants are.
We're a mess right now.
The ants are loyal.
You think ants are sitting around
having this discussion right now?
I think there's loyalty.
I think there's loyalty
between ants.
I think push comes to shove.
There's loyalty among humans too.
I have to believe that.
Right now we're not
faced with the ant war.
Somebody comes on the news tomorrow and goes,
the ants have risen up.
They're smarter than us.
We don't care about aliens.
There's not 20 quadrillion aliens on Earth.
We don't know.
There's a lot of big space out there.
It's true.
And we started throwing trash at them.
That's a good point.
I think we could take the ants.
Yeah. You think you could beat two and a half
million ants? I think so. I say no.
Sugar ants? The sheer number would
just over... There is smart... Anything that you
can think of, they can think of. So just
remember that. I would say give me... So they
could figure out talking or they
could figure out... I think 25 to 30
smart ants would take me out.
25 to 30? Do I get a weapon 25 to 30 do i get a weapon they would take my
gun they would pistol whip me 25 to 30 yeah i will take the emu side so we can't just have this
dominant so who wants i'm comfortable taking the emu side uh who wants to – I'm comfortable taking the emu side.
Who wants to take the lion side?
Bates?
I'm going lion to a zero chance in my opinion. I'll jump on emu.
All right.
I'll jump on emu here.
So we –
I like this.
I like the debate.
You get to get talked into five interesting facts about emus.
An emu's feathers cannot be so so soft that's not a good strong
i mean who like who wrote the sentence the emu like he an emu's feather cannot can you
an emu's an emu's feathers i thought it said father at first
uh that's probably true too an emu's father cannot be so soft, so they grow up in hard times.
Right, a chip on the shoulder.
They grow up in hard times.
A lion.
It can't be soft, but it cannot be, too.
An emu has been through it.
A lion is like, you're the rich kid.
Right.
That just.
And they're very family-oriented.
They got nuclear families.
They all stay together.
Yes.
The lion grew up, no problems.
No problems. No hardships. No hardships. An emu, out of the womb, he's fighting. He all stay together. The lion grew up, no problems. No problems. No hardships.
No hardships. And Emu, out of the womb,
he's fighting, he's scrapping. Oh, yeah.
And his feathers, the way this Emu wrote this,
it's...
They also can be soft,
but they also cannot be so soft.
Right. He's not always so
soft. He's saying, listen, sometimes
it is, but not all the time
emus have the strongest legs
that's enormous
yeah
strongest legs
big legs
does not say
I don't know what it compares to
there's no comparison
but
compared to an ostrich
yeah
an emu
compared to the other birds
but it has
so I'm assuming
the strongest legs
of anything
and everything
so the kicking the kicking power is wild.
The running power.
Elusive.
That's going to translate to speed.
Run away.
I mean, there's part of me that's going, a lion's going to go into this pretty cocky,
and an emu is going to just light it up.
This thing squats more than an elephant here.
Like, this is like the piranha.
Like, emu feels like a piranha.
Like it's just like,
it's like a velociraptor.
Yes.
Like a velociraptor
beat a T-Rex.
Yeah.
So,
you know,
when we had this bracket,
you would say there's no way.
Where?
Yeah.
In Jurassic Park.
I don't know.
The movie.
It did?
Yeah.
One on one?
At the end,
it beats the one. Well, then they fight at the end, but yeah, I think it does at the end. I don't know. The movie. It did? Yeah. One-on-one? At the end, it beats the one.
Well, then they fight at the end, but yeah, I think it does at the end.
I don't know if it does, but I think it did.
T-Rexes.
Yeah, I guess they do.
The police raptor is just like, it's just all over.
When something's so big, that's like when Royce Gracie used to fight in old MMA stuff and he'd fight like a big
sumo guy.
It's like that gets so tired.
But we just had a debate about
a polar bear possibly
losing to a Siberian tiger,
but now an emu beats a lion.
Well, we're taking the...
I'm trying to make it fun.
You gotta have some upsets here.
Yeah, you gotta have some upsets.
I think this is... This just happened in the tournament this year.
The one seed comes in.
Yeah.
And, you know, if they sleep, if they take it for granted, they're going to go down.
Give me those other facts of the email.
Let me read the rest of it.
Let's play the fight out.
Let's play the fight out.
I just want to finish the facts.
They get more fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was reading them for some reason that prompted you to go to a different page.
Well, they started to get bad.
I said-
That's why I want you to keep reading.
Yeah.
Emmus have a pouch in their throat for communication.
Now, this is-
Trash talk.
I'd imagine some kind of like maybe walkie-talkie, maybe the first next tell.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They have a pouch in their throat for communicating.
Like they don't even waste their time for, what do they put in that pouch?
Their phone?
You know what it could put in that pouch?
A weapon.
Right.
So now this emu, because look at it.
You think it's playing by the rules?
No.
There's no playing by the rules. That's cheating. It's an emu, because look at it. You think it's playing by the rules? No. There's no playing by the rules.
That's cheating.
It's an emu cheats.
Anything can happen.
So I think an emu has now got probably a gun.
Right, right.
We're going to go ahead and say it.
The emu brought a gun into this fight.
The emu is armed.
The emu does have a gun.
So the emu gets a gun because it has a pouch and it can hide it,
and we did not check the pouch because we didn't know they had a pouch.
Where's a lion putting a gun?
Here's the problem.
Emus don't have arms, so how's he going to shoot it?
It does it anyway.
It's automatic.
So look, look at this situation.
Here's what I'm saying.
The emu, because when you frisk something, you don't ever frisk someone's throat.
That's true.
So why would you frisk something, you don't ever frisk someone's throat. That's true. So why would you frisk?
We would be so busy in the feathers, and we don't know that he's got –
Which cannot be so soft.
Yeah, that we go like, I cannot believe how not soft this is.
You might even cut yourself trying to get the gun out of there.
Yeah, and you're just like shaking it in just like some dust.
It looks like you're shaking a – dust is flying out.
And you're like, I don't think he's good.
And we don't even know that in his throat he has a gun.
I've just found some literature from the United States Postal Service.
They discourage their drivers from backing up.
They say occasionally you're going to have to, obviously,
based on where the car is.
But if you can avoid it, don't back up.
Because that's where a lot of their accidents happen.
I think we talked about that on our episode. They were saying what's in the past is in the past you know yeah gotta move forward yeah
man thousands we're talking thousands of motor vehicle accidents
from from being in reverse 20 2000 i mean that's a lot of twos by by the way. They've really... Yeah, 2,222. Yeah.
That's too convenient.
Yeah.
Through the end of October 3rd.
Oh, no, that's quarter three of 2007.
I mean, this is like a... Is this an internal document that we're looking at?
Look at this.
We're not supposed to see this.
It says, if you cause an accident, what will you say to a grief-stricken mother who has
just lost a child?
This is getting so dark.
I know.
You're like, or to a father whose child was seriously injured by your vehicle while you were backing up.
You're like, I'm just trying to be a mailman.
No reason is good enough.
Who would think there would be an excuse good enough that you would go, as a mailman, you go,
I had to go backwards because a dog was in front
of me they go all right that's a pretty decent excuse hey that kid broke his leg but ma'am um
hey we got a couple envelopes here for you and is that your son yeah lying in the street out there
yeah because i don't think he's alive yeah do the right thing Avoid backing up while on your route.
Children live and play where you work.
Yeah.
Only you can avoid backing up on your route.
Only you can avoid backing up.
Yeah.
Backing a vehicle is a personal decision.
I didn't realize it was this big of a thing.
Dude, backing up is the real deal
that's like a the onion article or is this no i think the the post office is like we're not
joking around dude like do the right this is literally what it says do the right thing
avoid backing up while on your route i mean would you you would leave the meeting and go
what was the deal with backing up?
What's going on out here?
Like a kid could sit on a jacket and you would pull it out from under him and it's not a big deal.
But I would imagine, I'm just going off, if you're a bigger guy, you just don't want to be sitting on clothes.
Because it means you just back down and you didn't see anything.
And then you didn't feel anything. And when't feel anything. You didn't feel anything.
And when they pull it, it's so obvious.
It's like, oh, I'm sorry.
And then if it's a corner, you're like, no big deal.
But if it's like.
Yeah, it's all warm now.
Yeah, you're like, I need you to stand up.
You got to brace yourself.
You got to stand up.
It actually got caught kind of in your belt.
Yeah.
Big guys have the same rules that mail trucks do about backing up.
You don't do it if it's not possible.
That's very funny.
You don't do it if they go, it's on you.
Could you have that thing pulled up still?
I got rid of it.
Oh, what is it saying?
Oh, here it is.
Let me just see.
The same as big guys go.
Am I backing up because i'm in a hurry is there a safe alternative to backing up is backing up my
last resort could someone be behind me perhaps a child that's a big one am i relying on lady luck
these are the questions you ask yourself as a big man backing up. Backing up as a big guy is a personal decision. Is someone behind me?
Perhaps a jacket?
Perhaps a jacket.
In most situations, you choose to maneuver yourself to avoid backing up.
The safety of others depends on you.
Do the right thing.
Avoid backing up when you're in someone's house.
What will I say to a grief-stricken mother who's just lost a child?
Children live and play where you walk around, in the neighborhoods, in the houses you're
going to.
All it takes is one second for a child to dart behind you as you back up.
As you're trying to sit down.
Only you can avoid backing up.
Well, I'm taking a little time off too.
I don't know that I've said this on this podcast, but I'm having another baby.
All right.
Oh, wow. Congratulations. Yeah.. All right. Wow. Congratulations.
That's the tradition. I almost knocked my teeth out.
That wasn't that hard. I was through a chair. That was the most hard.
That's about as hard as I hit Brian. Yeah, that was my arm.
Yeah. I'm fine. I'm okay. I did not know this. I'm learning this right now.
I did not know this.
Yeah.
Wow.
So June 15th.

but we didn't have a name until he was born.
Yeah.
Sam seemed right.

I don't know either.
I mean, maybe in Georgia, but.
Yeah.
I grew up in Alabama,
so Albany was always in Georgia for us.
Oh, okay.
Well, you were being Albany, New York.
Albany, New York.
You're not going to be at the Funny Bone
in Albany, Georgia.
I don't even know that there is one.
Then I think that answers the question.
Yeah.
Maybe in a comedy zone.
I like to clarify by adding confusion
yeah yeah
people right now
