Yeah, they go.
Schools are closed.
Let's go buy some stuff.
Put those people to work today.
Yeah, but the schools, the students are not working.
But the teachers get off.

Daycares are closed on Labor Day, so it's more work for us.
Yeah.
Yeah. Because. Daycares are closed on Labor Day. So it's more work for us. Yeah. Yeah.
Because your age.
Because I have to spend time with my child.
Yeah.
I was glad to do this podcast.
Yeah.
We're glad to be here.
Y'all were talking about caffeine before.
I'm jacked up.
You're jacked up.
Yeah.
Dusty had a half a cup of coffee.
I quit coffee for a while and I've up yeah Dusty had a half a cup of coffee listen I quit coffee
for a while
and I've been drinking it
for about a week now
took a little tolerance break
and I am fired up
I mean I'm
I got a little shake to me
yeah
right now
you like that
I don't really
I feel good
I had a little AJ1
to balance it out
so I got a little caffeine
a little
little greens
yeah
the old days
yeah
you think
yeah it's wild I mean i feel i'm
ready to go yeah we could get some stuff done yeah i drank a celsius on the way here with dusty
then i drank a full cup of coffee and i think i'm finally up to normal yeah now i have the energy
that i should have i did no coffee i've done coffee yesterday, and then I haven't had any today.
I may have a heart attack.
I'm all trying not to do it.
I may have a heart attack during this podcast.
You can't even say it.
Yeah, I can't even say it.
I'm already slowed.
Yeah.
I had, like, the other day, I had it.
He might have had one, as he said.
What if you had one, and they go,
we don't know what's going on,
and you're like, I'm having a heart attack.
Yeah.
And they're like, what?
I'm having a heart attack. And they go, don't know what's going on you're like i'm having a harker cat yeah and they're like what i'm having a harker cat and they go i think he's fine i don't know what and then that's how it goes down that's like an old country term harker cack yeah they're like that must be
had one here we would leave the cameras rolling show the body bag go out and then greg warren
just walked by and sit right down that chair yeah and we just be right at it we don't even cut
and then that one guy on youtube that always does hashtag dump dusty.
He would celebrate.
Yeah.
Oh,
they did it.
Yeah.
He's always there.
That's his life's mission at this point.
He doesn't even say why really.
It's like,
give some details,
bud.
Yeah.
It's a problem.
Trying to get dump dusty trending.
Yeah.
If you click on somebody on YouTube, click on their username,
it'll show every comment they've made on your channel.
And this guy, just a vendetta.
I mean, every episode for probably a year, just Dump Dusty, Dump Dusty.
I assume it's an old comic that I used to know, and they're mad at me.
That's what I think.
And they have their own little code names, whatever.
He might be your number one listener.
Yeah.
Or he may listen to your podcast too.
Yeah, I hope so.
Yeah.
He's a fine genius.
He hates you so much that he's ended up loving you because he just listens to you so often.
Yeah.
I got some people like that too, but the people that I usually am like that towards, they're not motivated enough to do podcasts and stuff.
So I don't have a lot of material to watch there's one guy in particular i won't say his name but i love to
dig and try to find what he's doing in stand-up now it's very little and it bums me out because
i'm like give me some more i want to show my wife this stuff yeah because you don't like them yeah
yeah like it's like the hate watch yes yeah that's a real thing yeah yeah you can really get sucked up being like something
makes you like it probably not good though uh i don't think so i saw a caffeine does i did
so i played golf the other day and i was like i think i had so much that i've like messed my
tempo up and i felt jittery and i I was like, it was like the first time
where I was like, I don't like this. Like, I don't, you know, and it got like out of control.
And then yesterday I was like, I'm not drinking coffee. I look, I still had my, I had a couple
diet Dr. Peppers, but I mean, I've been a little bit easier on those. I just, I like to eat them
with drinking with food. And then that's about it it i don't eat drink and i talk like i drink
a ton i can't drink a ton and i used to but if i'm home maybe 2 12 ounces maybe no that's not
it's nothing yeah 2 12 ounces well i've gotten good before lunch i've gotten i think it's i'm
old you're old dude you just can't any. It just crashes down on you.
The energy drinks are what seem extreme to me.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Well, it's like, how much energy do you need?
I'll always take a little more.
Yeah.
I've been asking for more since you started this.
Nate's the one sending them to me.
I got them on my Amazon.
He doesn't even know where they're coming from.
He goes, I've got to deal with Celsius.
Every Monday, he comes to my door.
Are they Celsius Energy?
That's the new energy?
I'm into it now.
They just kind of took over these gas stations.
Now, they're everywhere, dude.
They came out of nowhere, the Celsius.
But I'm into what they're doing.
They got good flavors.
Zero sugar. Yeah. That's big're doing. They got good flavors. Zero sugar.
Yeah.
That's big for me.
Yeah.
You know.
You got to give something.
Something's got to give.
Yes.
And you go, that's zero sugar.
What do you get with it food-wise?
You just go in there and get the Celsius?
Just kind of get after it.
Do you get food at the gas station?
No, no, no.
Just a Celsius, maybe some Tic Tacs. Oh. What's the the Celsius? Just kind of get after it. Do you get food at the gas station? No, no, no. Just a Celsius, maybe some Tic Tacs.
Oh.
What's the name Celsius?
That's like a temperature, right?
Mm-hmm.
I know how to use it.
You know how to calculate now.
Yeah, it's double at 30.
Okay.
Yeah, remember we did it.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
So it's 20, 40, 70.
Easy. Easy. Yeah, remember we did it. Yeah, right. Yeah. So it's 20, 40, 70. Easy.
Easy.
Yeah, right now.
It did seem easy, but I forgot it the moment we left the podcast.
So today's going to be 90 minus 30, 60, 30.
So it's 30 degrees Celsius outside.
There you go.
Look at that.
There you go.
Wow.
That's well done.
Yeah, thanks.
You're going to be using that a bunch.
Ball, yeah, I will.
I might put all my stuff on Celsius.
I don't know why.
What stuff?
My car.
Oh, I like that.
Our air conditioner in the house.
You can change to Celsius.
Why don't we do Fahrenheit?
Huh?
Why don't we do Fahrenheit?
It seems like everybody does Celsius.
They're weak.
I don't know why.
No, I think everybody does Fahrenheit.
I felt when i was out
there it was the vice versa kind of where you're like the fahrenheit i thought it was like we're
the only ones doing fahrenheit or or something or meter like it's meters they do meters everywhere
maybe it was meters metric system yeah and it was, everybody switched to the other one. And then all these have just held on to that way. But cause they're the ones that have to switch usually. I mean, I guess when
we go to other countries, we don't really, we're just like, we just know what we know. Yeah. And
we're still going to do miles. Yeah. We're not going to get into kilometers. Yeah. They say a
lot of kilometers and kilometers. I don't have, I don't know how to do that.
What about stones?
Yeah, I don't know what that is.
I've seen stones, too.
And I don't know.
What's that?
I've never heard of that.
Yeah, you weigh like six stones or something.
Oh, yeah.
That feels vague.
It sounds better than 300 pounds.
Yeah.
It seems vague, though.
Yeah, how big is a stone?
You weigh six stones. You're like, that's not that bad. Six stones is 84 pounds. Yeah. It seems vague, doesn't it? Yeah, how big is a stone? You have like six stones. You're like,
that's not that bad. Six stones is
84 pounds. Oh. So how
many stones am I at? 180.
Yeah. Five.
You're almost 13 stones.
13 stones. So 300
is...
300 is 21 stones. That's a lot.
That's tough. Starts feeling...
That's a wheelbarrow. Yeah. That starts feeling...
That starts feeling worse than 300 pounds.
You go,
I didn't, you know.
My weight's old enough to drink.
There's a guy with 21 stones
over here.
Because then you think, because then your mind just
goes to carrying 21 stones
and you're like, it's an all day project.
You just had to lift one
stone and move it to the other side that's a wall that's top of the count yeah that's a good size
wall it can be a skinny wall that you can't see over or a nice long wall that's a dusty that's
where it's like on walls yeah you might not even have that many stones it's tough to find you could
you'd have to borrow some.
Get down one stone.
And then maybe it would take you a while to get down one.
How much to get down one stone?
So if it's a 21, what's like 298?
280 is 20.
So to lose a stone, you have to lose 20 pounds.
I mean, you might be a better weight thing to do stones.'re better milestones right i'm trying to milestones because it's where it comes from yeah yeah but it doesn't
feel as good when you're like yeah i lost a stone yeah but you but how good does it feel to go did
i drop five stone well five that's five pounds yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah but it's it was your motivation would be to lose instead of pounds
because like that's so like you know when you lose weight it's like it's so slow so if you just
go i'm just trying to lose a stone that means it's it's 20 pounds people are like you mean how
many pounds is a stone like uh trying to lose a stone 14 pounds so 14 pounds so that's pretty that almost be like all
right i'm trying to lose three stones and so instead of weighing yourself every day for a
pound you wait you weighing yourself once a month and you're trying to see if you can lose yeah a
stone right right right we figure some stuff out today i actually might do that so you're going to
change your car to Celsius.
You can change your scale to stone.
Yep.
You can start driving on the other side of the road.
Yep.
Yep.
It's all stuff going.
Start with driving on the other side of the road.
That's what I want to do.
Just be like,
Hey,
I'm just doing the metric system or whatever.
Yeah.
They're like,
that doesn't have anything to do with that.
And I'm like,
yeah, but I'm living like abroad.
You've probably driven all those south of the road a few times.
Yeah, I was going to say, this is your argument to the police.
Yeah.
Trying to broaden my horizons a bit.
We're just happy you're not seeing the water.
Yeah.
I'm getting ready for England, man.
Yeah.
They're like, sorry, sir, you're never leaving the country ever again.
You're like, well, I'm sorry.
All right.
Can we turn that air down?
Let me turn it.
Yeah, because it's on Celsius, so you won't know what to do.
He's going to put it down to.
You got to add a couple, minus some.
Is he about to make it warmer in here?
Yeah, I think he means up.
That's funny how air like.
Did he say turn the air down?
That means it would blow less.
But is he turning the air up or the temperature up? I think he's turning the temperature up. That's funny how air... Did he say turn the air down? That means it would blow less. But is he turning the air up or the temperature up?
I think he's turning the temperature up.
That's the question.
That is the question.
So, Nate, settle an argument.
What just happened?
Turn the air down.
He turned the temperature down?
Yeah.
Oh, you made it colder.
Yeah.
All right, nice.
Is that what you say?
I figured you were making it warmer because you're usually cold.
No, I'm hot now, but... All this hot caffeine coming from the side of the table. Would you were making it warmer because you're usually cold. No, I'm hot
now. Would you not say it?
Air down. But some people get
confused. That means turn the air down means
to blow less so it would make the temperature
You say turn the AC up.
I think that means
make it colder. But you could argue that means
you're turning the temperature up.
Make it a little warmer.
I don't say AC, but I would say turn the air,
can you turn the air down or turn the air up?
Air up would be, it's too cold.
Air down would be, it's cold.
Yeah, that's how it is.
Can you cut it down?
Cut it off?
Can you cut the air on?
Cut the air on would be.
I like to say cut on because it really frustrates people and they go,
you don't cut it on, you cut it off.
And I like to go, no, I cut it on.
I cut ours on.
I like to cut things on.
Most people just turn it on or turn it off.
Yeah, but I like to cut it.
I cut it.
I had a joke where I stopped saying cut it
because it was, it just would be.
Confuse people.
Yeah.
When I was just, when I was here, it doesn't,
but everywhere else, it's just like.
Yeah.
They're like, what?
Yeah, it's like. Because I was like, and I just like i like cut it off cut it on good you're gonna cut
these lights on cut these lights off is that the joke cut it k-mart oh yeah you're gonna cut these
yeah yeah that was it yeah you're gonna cut these lights on and then i i think i switched it to turn
because it was like everybody's like you don't cut lights on it's one of those that you're like
i'm taking them out of the joke.
Even though I like saying it.
Right.
That's just how I say it.
I guess it's because you cut the power to it, right?
When you're turning it off.
But I like to cut the power.
I like to cut that power right in.
Yeah.
I'm cutting it in.
We look at more of the on, off as the.
And I feel like that's the more important part. Yeah.
On and off.
It's like, shouldn't be confusing if I go cut it on.
You know what I mean?
It's on.
It's on.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Cut it on.
You tell someone to cut it out, but you don't usually tell someone to cut it on.
Right.
But you don't really want them to.
If you need them to cut it out, you need them to calm it out you need them to calm down you never want to go hey cut it on you guys are just too chill in here cut it all it's often
said to me i wish aaron would have cut it on today okay two celsius yeah but i wouldn't yeah i wouldn't
say it in that way i would just say it in the air cutting the lights on and off yeah cutting
the air conditioner on and off.
You don't cut the volume down?
I would say turn the volume down.
Okay.
Interesting.
Cut it up.
Yeah.
Is it something to do with the actual physical device?
Because when I still, when I think volume, even though I don't think most volume changers are like this anymore, I still think a knob that you're turning left and right.
Yeah.
That'd be turn the volume down.
Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. But I don't know if i say because of that i say because people in
my life said it and now i say i don't i don't i'm not really you know looking at the well what am i
doing what is that etymology etymology etymology. I for sure have said cut it up. We're going to have some nuts in there. Cut it up.
I for sure have said that.
Cut it up.
It seems too weird.
It is weird when you think about it, but I for sure said it.
By your radio?
Yeah.
Turn it up.
Rip the knob off.
Cut it up.
You not feel it when I say it?
No, no, no.
It feels uncomfortable.
I don't think you said it.
You would have said cut it down, cut it, all that stuff.
But you don't, there's some things too far.
Is it?
Yeah, that's ridiculous, Dusty.
All right.
Yeah.
What are you thinking?
Cut it down.
Okay.
It feels, I don't know.
It feels like I would have said it, but, you know,
I found an old video of myself as a kid where it seems like I made frog have two syllables.
I was like frog.
Yeah.
You know?
That I could see.
Yeah.
Big old frog.
He probably talked about frogs a lot.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, yeah.
All the time.
Every day.
How many frogs do you think you were around growing up?
Lots of them. All the time. Every day. How many frogs do you think you were around growing up? Lots of them.
Lots of them.
You know, they used to say if you pick up a frog and it pees on your hand, then you'll get warts, right?
And then they say that's like a wise tale or a wives tale.
I don't know whose tale it is.
An old wives tale.
Yeah.
But I would pick up frogs all the time.
They would always pee on me.
And I would always have warts.
But as an adult, I'm not picking up frogs.
And I don't have warts. Oh, you really? You did have warts. But as an adult, I'm not picking up frogs. And I don't have warts.
Oh, you really, you did have warts a lot as a kid?
Yeah, I would get little warts.
Not a lot of them, but like I would get, you know, random little warts here on my hands.
And you pick up frogs quite a bit, huh?
All the time as a kid.
Yeah.
They were always peeing.
Frog gigging?
Isn't that what it's called?
Well, I wouldn't kill them.
I'd just pick them up.
Yeah, that's putting a spike through them.
Yeah.
Oh, gigging means killing? Yeah. Oh. For what purpose? Just for fun? To eat.. I'd just pick them up. Yeah, that's putting a spike through them. Yeah. Oh, gigging means killing?
Yeah.
Oh.
For what purpose?
Just for fun?
To eat.
Well, people don't grow up with money.
They have to go out in the wild and do stuff.
Yeah, eat frogs.
That's why you don't know what an anus is.
Right.
All this time, you thought frog gigging was just hanging out with frogs.
Hey, little buddy.
I thought it was catching them, like fishing.
Yeah.
Like you just kind of scoop them up, admire them, and then throw them back.
No, they have like sticks with like a fork on the end of it that they would just.
Like spear fishing.
Yeah.
I never did it.
It's like picking up trash on the side of the highway.
Right.
We didn't have a lot of money, but we had more money than eating frogs out of the creek.
Oh, that's good to know.
Yeah.
Some. Yeah. We would go to that's good to know. Yeah. Some.
Yeah.
We'll go to a restaurant and get them.
Yeah.
We ain't making them.
Right.
The slave family ain't made frogs in a long time.
We ain't going back to it.
Yeah.
But if there's frogs on the menu, you'll have some.
You know how they say everything tastes like chicken?
But it's always fried stuff.
They're like, oh, it tastes like chicken.
It's like, maybe you just associate chicken with fried.
Yeah.
Yeah, because I've had like snake or alligator eat that.
Yeah.
But it's like very tough.
Yeah.
It's like hard to chew and eat.
They say that, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Game?
Game.
I think game is like, I thought it was like duck.
Like duck's gamey.
Or bison.
That's all.
Game.
I thought it was like a smell. Like it was like duck, like ducks gamey. Like it's got a. That's all game. I thought it was like a smell.
Like it was like, like duck.
I think I was like, it just smelt too much like the animal it was.
That's where you get like a duck curry at an Asian restaurant and put a lot of curry in it.
And then you're like, all you taste is the curry really.
Yeah.
Oh, they're trying to get that game out of there.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
You need to get the game. of there yeah oh yeah yeah you need to
get together i don't ever get duck sometimes like i used to like duck at this one thai place
so i've tricked myself into thinking i like duck and i'll get it at other places it's never good
i'm never like i'm good i'm glad i made this decision because you think oh i eat chicken
all the time it's boring but then somebody will get chicken i'll get duck and then i'm like i
wish i would have got the chicken you know what i mean i never go wish i would have got
the frog legs you know what i mean i've had frog legs before it's not good people act like it's
delicious like gator tail and they're like oh i love it like you don't yeah you just like fried
that you dip in a sauce yeah yeah like calamari it's like you don't
like that you just like a fried i think people like calamari i'm not a fan of it i don't like
the texture of it but i think people do like it i but it's i like it fried i think people do i like
it fried and if you dip it in the sauce which i'm just trying to get to the sauce if i think about
what it is though grosses me What is calamari? Squid.
Baby squid.
I've heard of calamari. I could have told you what it was. It's little rings, little real chewy
rings.
Oh, yeah, dude. I mean, it's a squid you're
eating.
It was in the ocean.
All meat's kind of gross if you
think about what you're eating.
That's probably true. I don't know.
Like a meat that you can eat.
Like beef that you can eat mostly raw is, I think that's pretty good.
Oh, like a steak.
Yeah.
Okay.
Not like ground beef.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Some people do that, though.
In the Midwest, it's called tiger meat.
Oh, yeah.
They just eat raw ground beef.
Oh, really?
They'll put it out like a charcuterie board.
Saltine crackers, onions, pickles, and raw ground beef. Oh, really? They'll put it out like a charcuterie board, saltine crackers, onions, pickles, and raw ground beef.
I'm not ready for that.
I would try it.
I would try it too if it was out.
Ain't that how you get sick?
I think you can.
I guess if it's real fresh fresh, that's when it's supposed to be.
Okay.
Tiger meat is a raw beef dish commonly found in Midwestern U.S. states
with significant German populations such as North Dakota, South Dakota,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
Often referred to as a cannibal sandwich.
It gets worse as it goes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I guess you put egg, onion, salt, and pepper, and other stuff in it.
Same in Manila.
Mixing raw beef and raw egg.
I mean, again, it just gets worse as it goes.
Sounds like a comic from the 80s.
Salmonella.
Salmonella.
I'm still out there.
How's that guy doing?
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services warns against consuming raw meat sandwiches.
And they're at risk of contracting bacteria.
Finally, some government stuff.
I'm on board.
Well, I was in Wisconsin.
Yeah, you were this weekend, right?
Did you have some?
I ate at Culver's.
Got me a Butterburger.
Nice local place.
Yeah.
Is that?
Yeah.
We have a Culver's, right?
Yeah.
Oh, we do?
Oh, well, never mind.
I was all excited.
Yeah.
That's a chain.
I saw a Culver's in Murfreesboro yesterday.
It's a chain, but it's their thing up there for sure.
Yeah.
How was it?
It was great.
Yeah.
It was a lot better when I thought, I'm getting something these boys never heard of.
I can drive you one right now.
Maybe.
Probably for the podcast as well.
Honestly, eight minutes.
It's probably an eight, seven minute drive.
You could go there, eat, come back.
We'll still be doing that.
I look out the window.
I could see the sign.
Oh, yeah.
You could sit down and eat and we would still be doing that. I look out the window, I can see the sign. Oh, yeah. You could sit down and eat, and we would still be doing it, and drive back.
And we'd still be doing the podcast, maybe wrapping it up.
You would be able to let us know how it was.
It used to be in the comments.
Yeah.
You could also drive to your timeshare and back to the podcast.
Well, if I go there, I'm going to lounge.
It's a beautiful place.
How was Wisconsin?

Skyline Comedy Club.

I mean, probably not soon, but I did it before I ran the last hour.
So I've been there.
Oh, nice.
He'll do it on the way back down.
Huh?
Yeah.
When it all comes crashing down.
That's when I'm going to hit.
You know?
I'm going to be lucky if they say yes.
But that was one I went to that was when I ran.
You know, like going to a club to warm up.
Right.
I went to Apple.
It's a great club.
It is a great club.
Friday night, I did my fantasy football draft.
And 28th year in this
league were you gone no I left Saturday morning yeah so I was here for it you do the draft in
person with these friends you've been doing it 28 years now remind us I know you talked about this
are these college friends high school friends uh co-workers.
But in my defense, it was my first year there out of college.
Okay, okay.
1995, my first year at Channel 5.
We started a fantasy football league, and it's still going.
Wow.
28 years?
Yeah.
I didn't even know fantasy football has been going for 28 years. I mean, it's got to be one of the oldest leagues.
Wow.
Still going continuously.
28 years? Didn't. Yeah, and you almost kicked out of it. Mm-hmm. has been going for i mean it's got to be one of the oldest leagues wow still going continuous 28
years didn't yeah and you almost kicked out of it because when you when you left channel five
yeah but they let you i share a team i would yeah me and my buddy we co-own a team together
okay just so it's legal are you still the only one that doesn't work there
yeah you think that's uncomfortable you think they talk about it
a lot at work last year they offered me to get back in and i have fun with because we're all
busy so me and my buddy would do it right it's fun how many times have you won this league
i don't want to talk about it it's not as many as i should for 28 years
but you ever won it i'm like the jets i. I've won one. Okay. Got to the championship a couple times.
I choked.
It's still fun.
You guys do it online?
Yeah, we've talked about that before. When we started, it was
totally, but we still have very old
school basic rules because
when we started, we had to go to the newspaper
and look up the scores.
We basically just do touchdowns.
We keep it simple.
Okay.
So we do do some yardage, stuff like that.
But our scores are much lower than, say, what the average fantasy football.
It's not a PPR league or anything like that.
No, no, no, no.
We played one year.
Fantasy football always seemed like too much work.
It is a lot.
It seems like you're really managing a team.
Oh, yeah.
I stopped doing that.
Yeah.
I'm like, I just like to watch a game here and there.
I like to listen to them talk.
Yeah, I wanted to do it.
It's fun.
And I had one of those leagues.
It was an old league.
We started in 2003.
I started comedy.
And so I kind of liked that because it was just like we got started like
I could see that like where it's like it's a good core group that you want to still stay with but
now once you get out of it you're like I I can't last time I did one uh uh buddy Adam
uh I did with him it's a lot of people from dca my high school and uh but they
i mean the i got probably i felt like i had levy on bell and i was getting more trade requests than
i think he probably got i had like a guy calling me texting me all day that you didn't know that
i didn't know trying to trade me yeah just going like hey what's going on with that levy on bell
you think you want to move them you think and you're like i don't i
don't want to do this yeah yeah and so now i will sit on him and picked a good guy and well he didn't
he set out that whole year you're doing more work than his actual agent yeah i should have
honestly i should have probably traded him but i was so like i i can't talk about this guy like
what this is insane yeah because if you trade him and then he's gonna be like about this guy. This is insane.
Yeah, because if you trade him, then he's going to be like,
oh, this guy will trade,
and then he's going to call you about everybody trying to trade.
Did they have a text thread?
Because I was with Adam the other day, and he was showing it to me.
I mean, it's thousands of texts of just, you know,
but that's the fun part, but it's just,
that's the part that you go like, I got to get out of here, dude.
Like, I can't.
There's so many texts.
Yeah, you're like, I have a family. I so many texts. You're like, I have a family.
I have a family.
Yeah.
I got a family.
I got a, I mean, I really was more involved with Le'Veon Bell than maybe Le'Veon Bell was.
Yeah.
I was getting action all day.
Just someone just, what are you doing?
Middle of the night, early morning.
Hey, just hope you have a good day.
Let me know what you think about Le'Veon Bell today.
I'll be thinking about it.
Like, just put it in my mind. It's Thanksgiving. Yeah. It's like, it's like before you go out to work. Hey, how hope you have a good day. Let me know what you think about Le'Veon Bell today. I'll be thinking about you.
Like, just put it in my mind.
It's Thanksgiving.
Yeah, it's like before you go out to work.
Hey, have a great day.
Yeah, we can talk about Le'Veon Bell at some point,
but let you know.
I'll be around.
So with fantasy, so like Le'Veon Bell physically was not playing.
He set out. So he's no good to you necessarily.
No good at all but this guy
wants him because he thinks he may come back because he may come back and honestly it would
have been better for me to trade him because he that guy had the running back the other running
back for the Steelers so the backup running back uh who had a great year that year. James Conner. James Conner. So it was better.
You want to have like that system.
I never did that.
That's a smart system to do, though, because then if one of them goes out,
you got the other ones playing.
Okay.
So either way, you know.
So that's why he wanted Le'Veon Bell,
because he could actually sit on Le'Veon Bell and it would make sense,
where I actually needed Le'Veon Bell.
could actually sit on Le'Veon Bell and it would make sense.
Where I actually needed Le'Veon Bell.
But I, out of principle of getting texts too many times,
I decided I will let my team fail.
If Le'Veon Bell dies in real life, I'm still keeping him. You could say retired just to be a little bit nicer.
That's true.
That is true.
If he retired, I would keep him.
There's a similar situation going on this year with Jonathan Taylor.
He plays for the Colts.
He was the number one pick in a lot of fantasy drafts last year,
and now he's wanting to trade, and he may sit out.
So he could sit start the whole year.
Who knows?
I read some of this with the donations with Wikipedia.
Oh, yeah.
I read somewhere that they have a ton of money, but I don't know if that's true.
I bet they do.
Yeah.
I don't know.
You know, you read it just anywhere.
Like, it all comes from, you know, it feels like ay just in a corner going, dude, they got, you know
how much money they got?
And you're like, I mean, do you know?
And then it's no one really knows.
It's probably true.
Would you rather them just put ads on these Wikipedia pages instead of asking us?
I'd rather them just get rid of it.
You're getting used to ads.
Yeah.
I'd rather.
You'd rather what?
Just delete it.
I just want to know.
We'll figure it out.
It said they had money.
Oh, delete Wikipedia. I just want to know. It said they had money. So I want to delete Wikipedia.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It said they had money and I want to know, do they have money?
I think they have money.
It's like the reason we use Wikipedia is because we Google something and
Wikipedia comes up and now Wikipedia acts like we need them.
It's like,
just delete it.
I think you'd suffer without them every week.
It's just easy.
Yeah. You get, I think it's easy think you'd suffer without them. Every week I need them for the podcast. Yeah.
I think it's easy to go, but there should be other alternatives.
That's the thing.
There's no other alternatives.
Yeah.
Why don't you start a dusty media?
I should start one.
A dusty media, a little, you know, that's like.
Some loose ideas.
Yeah.
A lot of stuff.
Someone, you know, a kid in school looks up the moon and then it's your face going.
A lot of my stuff starts with, listen, I can't prove this.
Dustypedia.
Yeah.
All right.
Here's what they're telling you.
Here's what I think.
Yeah.
But they're like 2% of our readers donate.
I mean, that has to be millions of people still.
Yeah.
Oh, of course.
Yeah.
I mean, that's to be millions of people still. Yeah. Oh, of course. Yeah. I mean, that's the thing that's crazy.
So if 2% of your, which seems like a lot, 2% of our readers donate.
You're like, so you're good.
They donate $1, $3.
I mean, there's got to be, how many people use Wikipedia?
Hundreds and millions.
I love how you went, hundreds and millions.
No, I said hundreds.
And NPR does the same thing where it's like, I thought you were funded by the government.
Yeah.
And they're always like, we're funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, but donate some money.
Doers like you.
Yeah.
We do need the donations.
They had that with Oprah and The Rock.
They said, donate money to Maui.
People just lit up on them. Yeah. They're like, Oprah and The Rock. They said, donate money to Maui. People just lit up on them.
Yeah.
Yeah, I saw that.
They're like, Oprah's a billionaire.
Yeah.
Yeah, Oprah could, like, rebuild the whole island.
Yeah.
Yeah, The Rock.
And The Rock's, like, from there, right?
And then you're just like, yeah, you just, y'all just do it.
They're like, we gave $5 million.
You're like, that's not.
Yeah, it's family Samoan. Yeah. I like, we gave $5 million. You're like, that's not. Yeah. His family's Samoan.
Yeah.
I mean,
five,
I mean,
look,
$5 million is a lot of money,
but it's like,
whatever you're making,
you're like,
I don't know if that's.
Yeah.
If you got a billion dollars,
you could do a lot better than that.
And she probably has multiple billion.
Isn't the government help?
Like that's the thing.
Is the government help?
Like they're asking people to give money.
Yeah.
There's a lot of federal funds.
Yeah.
There's a lot of federal funds.
Then you got the rock and Oprah. there's a lot of celebrities that live there
yeah so you're kind of just like yeah why don't y'all kind of get together i think that's why
people don't want to donate because you think well you're going to donate something the government's
just going to come in and you know like just take over and do you know're, it's people not knowing where the money's going to go.
Right.
And we were,
we're already given all this money.
The Rock Party show posted a video of him working out already.
I saw it last night.
He posted a video of new shirt that he's selling for their company.
It's a shirt they're trying out.
Like that's the part that makes you go.
I don't care,
you know,
and I do care the most for those people.
Sure.
Absolutely the most, but that's the part that makes you, when don't care you know yeah and i do care the most for those people sure absolutely the most but that's the part that makes you when it's just this guy just and i like him i like
oprah i don't mind but it's like they're just kind of out of a reality was it a foundation they were
asking people to give to yeah i mean who cares it's all the same thing it doesn't matter i guarantee
you it is.
There's no difference.
I don't really understand charity, but whatever the foundation is or whatever this, everybody's got something and nothing is getting solved.
But everybody's got something.
So you're giving money to something.
Nothing is getting, they never show me a finished product of anything.
Of anything that's with charity never goes we're
good we just solved it what's the next thing to solve so there's no ending solution right
and so the rock when the rock and them they do it i mean he is art posted a clip of him working out
showing a shirt that they're going to start selling and you know and that's fine but you're
like you just yesterday told me that we need to give money to Maui
and then
now we gotta buy your shirt
two days later
you're like
we got some good merch
coming up
with the rock logo
I mean how much better
would we like celebrities
if they all just came together
in a moment like this
and they go
hey
we got
we got it
we're gonna rebuild Hawaii
let's sing a song
yeah
by the way
the rock weighs 18 stone
isn't that fun
isn't that fun the rock yeah weighs 18 stone. Isn't that fun? Isn't that fun?
The rock weighs 18 stone.
See, I think that's...
Yeah, it doesn't sound good there for him.
I think you'd rather...
I think the rock, you know, that's good weight.
Yeah.
Those are good stones.
Those are good stones.
Yeah, those are healthy, muscular stones.
How tall is he?
I think he's pretty...
What's the difference between a rock and a stone?
I think rocks... Hard work. More he's pretty. What's the difference between a rock and a stone? I think rocks.
Hard work.
More raggedy.
What is?
It feels more raggedy.
Like a rock feels like,
ah, it's just a rock.
Oh, a stone's smooth.
But a stone feels like.
This is valuable.
6'4".
There's some dispute
whether it's 6'4 or 6'5".
So we'll get to the bottom of it.
Solve that.
Do y'all have anything
Well anyway

Void in Ontario, ccdkng.co slash football for eligibility terms and response. The original flag.
Okay.
So I don't know what the new one looks like.
It's American.
Yeah.
This also reminds me a bit of a Charleston flag.
They have the Palmetto tree with the Crescent moon.
Right.
And they both early States,
you know,
original state back then was all about who was first.
I think Charleston was one of the first cities altogether,
but we're looking for first city or state.
Let's let's do state first. Delaware is the first city or state? Let's do state.
Delaware is the first state, right?
All right.
First city in the country? I think we're doing just
between the two.
Yeah, we got Delaware, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey. Oh, man.
Oh, man. South Carolina.
Where does Maine even come in at?
I mean, they stopped listing them.
Yeah, they were just –
23rd.
That's embarrassing.
Alabama.
Alabama beat Maine.
When were we?
I think Tennessee.
1796.
Tennessee was – it's hard to get across those mountains.
16.
Oh, yeah, we're up there.
Yeah, we're –
I think the year.
Nobody's impressed.
17 – yeah, that's cool.
You knew the year?
Yeah.
He knows.
You know the county.
Every zip code in Tennessee.
So, yeah.
I know the old Hickory zip code.
I can always remember Tennessee because it's 20 years after the country you were born.
Still doing that joke?
Yeah.
It was a good joke in the 80s, still relevant now.
Good joke in the 1780s and still a good joke now.
So you enjoyed Maine?
I love Maine.
I wish I would have been able to see more of the countryside.
Actually, this guy that my mom used to date when I was like six, seven years old.
This should be good.
Lives in Maine.
And him and my mom dated for a little while
they actually rode in a jeep
all the way from Alabama
to Maine one time
and he came to the show
oh
it was great
you know
the guy
they didn't date very long
I don't have any bad things
to say about him
but it was pretty cool
yeah
to see this guy
yeah
yeah
we talked for a second
nothing really to say
there's only so much you can
I was gonna say
how long do you talk to that guy
right
I mean not long
like hey
yeah I remember seeing you a couple of times great to see you again but yeah
it was fun you know he had brown hair back then it's gray now but this guy's getting old that's a
very different like growing up like the the uh just to be like my mom's boy, my mom's old boyfriend's coming tonight.
Like it's a mindset that you're like, I wouldn't even know how to handle it.
Not saying good or bad, but I remember Jay, Jay would have big,
Jay would always be like, Oh, this girl dated my mom. You know, it's like,
but you always have a very, if you grew up like that, I think,
I feel like you just have a very healthy, you're like, yeah, I met him.
He's a good dude.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, it is different than your parents.
Like my dad's had four wives.
Yeah.
You know, so not counting girlfriends.
You're just, it's just what it is.
Yeah.
I got like two guys out there that were like my brothers for nine years.
And now we're like not related to each other at all you know they
were my stepbrothers but we were like raised together oh and now they're just dudes yeah
you know a little bit on facebook but not not in real life yeah yeah and y'all lived together for
nine years yeah wow we were like brothers you were Me and this one guy. I mean, my stepmom used to dress us alike.
We were a year apart.
So we would often be dressed alike.
Now, are these the brothers in the Gene Hackman video?
Yeah.
He met Gene Hackman in the video.
And they were in there.
Yeah.
Wow.
That's crazy.
It was very exciting.
I mean, they used to show sheep and cows.
Yeah.
And I'd be there looking at them.
Your brother's proud.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Excited for him.
My dad's yelling at him.
I feel bad.
I'm just like, I just want to show the sheep.
Yeah.
Don't yell at them.
Because you feel like it's on you.
That's your blood.
Yeah.
So you're kind of like, you know, you think you do feel that where you kind of you feel
like you represent the guy you brought and then they represent their mom who they brought.
Yeah.
So if there's any trouble, you're like, sorry about.
Yeah.
That's my stepbrothers.
Yeah.
It's like you work there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But yeah, it's great.
I mean, so I had a good time.
I love it. My dad was telling me this. My dad left me with this guy one time while he went out on a date, and I swallowed a penny,
and it was real bad.
I had weird poops and stuff after when I was a little kid.
And my dad, and I knew about this story, but my dad went on and on telling me the other
day about this guy.
He knew this is degenerate gambler, and he lost everything.
And it's how he was going down to the dog track in Opelika or shorter Alabama and he lost all his money and lost everything.
And then after he talked about this guy for a long time, he goes, that's the guy I left you
with one time when I went to on a date and you swallowed the penny. I'm like, geez, that's a
good call. He left me with this guy, his whole life's falling apart. It seems like a good
babysitter.
Maybe his life was good though at that point. Maybe. Maybe the pennies
would send him over the edge.
He needed that change.
He's a lucky penny.
He had everything
in front of him.
He's probably the next day, he's like,
I got a big, tomorrow I'm about to start
my first day as a lawyer.
He goes, hey, that's awesome.
Will you watch my Sunday night?
He's like, yeah, absolutely.
What could go wrong?
And then you swallow a penny and his life goes.
Yeah.
Can't handle it.
I hope he doesn't listen to the podcast.
Yeah.
I'd hate for him to know that I swallowed that penny.
Oh.
Ruined his life.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
He knows.
He knows.
Yeah.

She is a walking, talking, laughing, hug.
I was like, shouldn't there be an A in there?
And then it's just I moved on.
There is an A.

It made me feel so good.
I definitely shed a few tears at baby daddy Bates getting mushy about his own sweet girl.

Leanne said on the podcast I should have my testosterone checked.
She did. Bates said, I've have my testosterone checked. She did.
Faith said, I've been crying a lot.
It's like, have you had your testosterone looked at?
And Leanne always says nice things.
I know.
Well, that is nice.
It came from a place of compassion.
We've had that conversation before on the road numerous times.
Have you ever got it tested?
Yeah.
Is it low?
Yeah.

First point.

Yeah.
That's a good point.
You guys are making some valid points here.
Yeah.
I can't argue with anything y'all are saying.
You know what?
Let Ruth feel what it feels like to be married to a man for a second.
That was far.
I didn't think that was far.
On Labor Day, Nate?
Yeah.
It's their day.
It's the woman's day.
Low T to the show.
That was mean.
I didn't think it was going to be mean when I was saying it.
I said, think about a podcast.
Otherwise, you're just joking around.
But when you're on a podcast, you're like, oh, the joke that I wish that I did not make is now recorded.
Right.
Well, if you're just hanging out, you're like, you just.
Well, I could take it out.
You move on, yeah.
I could take it out.
Nah.
Nah, it's too late.

You know
Listening to Breakfast And Leanne talk Sounds like overhearing the older couple at Waffle House that bring their own cups.
Well, we're on a trend here now.
But Leanne and I have stopped at many a Waffle House on the road.
Don't bring our own cups.
But we've had, like I said, some hormone conversations.
Is that a type of person that brings their own cups to a Waffle House?
I've never heard of that.
Well, just a Waffle House, but I think some people just bring their own cups to.
Yeah.
My dad would meet with people at a coffee shop and the one lady that would come wouldn't
like to drink coffee out of a paper cup.
So she would bring her own coffee cup to drink.
And my dad's on to decaf now.
So if he goes to a place and they don't have regular, he'll bring his own mug and pour his decaf.
That's smart.
Oh, he'll, yeah.
So he can drink decaf.
So there are people out there bringing their own mugs.
Interesting.
Waffle House has a ceramic mug.
Yeah, they got their, they're doing great with mugs.
If you're bringing your own cup to the Waffle House, you're too picky for Waffle House.
Exactly.
You're in the wrong place. And that's like the best
mug because it's...
They're like, this is our thing.
Yeah.
So Luke, you sound stupid now.
Sark.
Took a shot of tea.
Beat it, Sark.
He's got no shirt on now.
It looks like that sunscreen where you can see it.
And you're like, I think you're supposed to rub that cream all the way in.
And he's got, he just got it under his eyes.
It's all tea.
It's just all tea.
He walks out the door every day with tea.
Beat it, Tharp.
You're like, oh, good.
Oh, Brian.

matt epsy a little disappointed in breakfast not knowing this the cereal town in iowa leanne was
talking about would be cedar rapids that is correct home of quaker oats cedar rapids is
the city of five seasons but locally known as the city of five smells that is it is cedar Rapids is the city of five seasons, but locally known as the city of five smells.
That is, it is Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Yep.
City of five smells.
Why are they five seasons?
What's a fifth season?
That's a good question.
I don't know.
You know.
I don't know.
Extra cold.
City of five seasons.
The name five seasons
Was adopted by the Cedar Rapids Area Convention
And Visitors Bureau
It's a symbol of the five seasons it appears
What
Not a lot of explanation
Yeah we're looking for that fifth season
It's for the extra time to enjoy the other four seasons
Whatever that means
Yeah
Five smells is better
It's the tree of The extra time That means. God. Yeah. So, My Smells is better.
It's the tree of fun.
The extra time. No real good explanation.
What's the,
what's the extra time?
The so-called fifth season.
Hmm.
I don't know what that means.
Which is time to enjoy
the other four.
Yeah.
So,
you have to block off
the fifth.
Their motto is
the fifth season is the time to enjoy life,
to enjoy the other four seasons.
They're like, listen, they ain't a lot going on here.
But the fifth season is you got to use it.
You got to get a lot done in that fifth season
because you got to enjoy four seasons in it.
So it's year round.
That fifth season is year round then, right?
The City of Five Seasons was based on a Bible verse from Ecclesiastes
to everything there
is a season and a
time to every
purpose under the
heaven.
Old Testament
Dusty.
There you go.
Yeah, but I mean,
now we come back
around to it.
Now we like it.
I like them using
it, but I just
still don't get it.
Mm hmm.
All right.
There you go.
They're doing it
for the right reason.
The city of five smells
If you could only smell
Five things
What would it be?
Let's talk about that
Like the five finger thing
That we did
Yeah
Five smells
That's an interesting question
I was about to wonder
Is it five specific cereals
That you can tell?
Do you know?
Oh I don't know
I think they're just saying
Their city smells
You know it'd be
Your five
Your smells
Laura Harper Your family Oh jeez I don't know. I think they're just saying their city smells. You know what it would be? Your five-year smells.
Laura, Harper, your family.
Oh, jeez.
You're talking about food.
Well, any smells.
I'd have freshly cut grass is one of mine.
That's a good smell.
I like that. I would have new car smell.
Yeah, new car smell.
How about a cookout?
It's a bit overrated.
Yeah, baby smells. Yeah. The Sunday morning coming down. You got to have a new car smell. Yeah, I was going to say new car smell. About a cookout. It's a bit overrated. Yeah, baby smells.
Yeah.
Sunday morning coming down, somebody says that.
You got to have a baby to smell.
Sunday smell of-
Baby smells of-
Oh, it's a good-
Frying chicken.
A cat smell.
Yeah.
Okay.
I would not take it.
Had nothing to do with cats.
Fried chicken, like fried chicken with bacon?
Yeah, cooking, smelling somebody frying chicken.
Yeah, bacon.
A little apple pie right out of the oven.
I think you'd get tired of it.
Yeah.
I don't think you would get tired of bacon. It would be- I already don't like it. Yeah. Bacon? A little apple pie right out of the oven? I think you'd get tired of it. Yeah. I don't think you would get tired of bacon.
It would be-
I already don't like it.
Yeah.
I mean, every day, just-
All right.
Yeah.
Cinnamon rolls.
Yeah.
I love a cinnamon roll.
I'm not tired of it yet.
I'd also say water.
You'd be like, well, that doesn't have any smell.
And I'd go, exactly.
But if you're near the water, you can smell.
Yeah, I don't want
the ocean water.
You pick stuff
that has no smells
and then begin
and I'll just smell
everything else.
Flowers.
Paul M.E. Mueller.
There's a lot of truth
in gender and birth
order differences.
As a teacher,
consistently the best students to have in class are the oldest girls from big families.
They are smart, organized, and independent thinkers, but they have a caring empathy for others.
I like that.
That seems like a statement that someone with two middle initials would say.
That sounds like a teacher's name. Right.
It feels like a very educated.
Why would you do that?
What is it like Paul, Michael, Eric Mueller?
Well, we get a lot of Paul Muellers that write in.
So he's trying to differentiate.
Yeah.
There's a lot of Paul M. Muellers that write in.
Right.
You got to add the E.
Is there?
No.
You and Dusty are both like.
The way you said it though.
I was like, oh, okay.
I feel like we've read Paul.
We have.
It's called Comedy Guys. Get with it. Paul's a feel like we've read Paul We have It's called comedy guys
Get with it
Paul's a long time fan
Of the
Long time listener
It's a good name though
It's a
It feels like
The M.E. feels like he's
You know
Some sort of education
Even though it's in the middle
And not at the end
Wow
If it were M.D. Mueller
That'd be like
Oh this guy's a doctor
Yeah
But you're like
Why is your doctor
In the middle of your name

I sympathize with breakfast on crying at movies since becoming a parent.
The morning my daughter was born, I had to go home and shower.
I sat down and watched I Am Sam starring Sean Penn.
Holy crap, I bawled my eyes out for two hours.
Well, that's a crying movie anyway.
Well, I'm sure your wife appreciates going home,
take a quick shower, then sitting over a two-hour movie.
She's like, where have you been?
Well, you understand.
I had to watch I Am Sam.
I cried the day my daughter was born.
I didn't cry over a two-hour movie.
We got Ryan Maloneone or my buddy ron he uh
he just brought up when harper was born because we were at the hospital and it was i think the
day at maybe the day after he's born and i called and i just said hey you want to go see the vandy
uniform reveal and he thought i was calling like being, being like, hey, come up to the hospital.
Like, it was a thing.
And he just brought it up.
And because we were downtown and they were having the uniform reveal at the bookstore.
We all went.
We all went.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I was like, let's just go.
And like, I mean, I have a brand new daughter.
She's all right.
Yeah.
It timed out perfect.
Yeah.
It really worked out.
You're like, you know, what can I do?
I'm in the area. I'm in the area. Yeah.
Laura doesn't care about this kind of stuff.
She doesn't want to go see it.
Rick Sanford, the third.
When Aaron puts
his hand around his eyes, similar to holding
binoculars, he was doing a good
thing to improve vision.
Our eyes naturally adjust adjust the light levels
in the environment if you put your hands around your eyes in such a manner your pupils will open
a little more to adjust thus widen your field of view and making whatever you're looking at a bit
clearer i knew that thank you rick yeah actually i have no idea what i was doing in that moment
Rick.
Yeah.
Actually,
I have no idea what I was doing in that moment.
I don't think you have to go like a real,
like a real kind of like a small, I think I was like rubbing my face a little bit,
you know,
and then it looked like I was,
yeah.
Well,
I wasn't even doing that.
It does work.
It's gotta be real small.
Like just doing that is,
that's the same.
You gotta go real small with it.
Get a little darkness around it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thanks, Rick.
All right.
Rick Sanford.
That was a politician, wasn't it?
Rick Sanford?
No, Santora.
Rick Santorum.
Yeah.
Paul Lee G.
Paul Lee G.
I've always heard that a lot of comedians don't perform with their real voice,
including comedians like Ralphie May, Tom Rhodes, Chris Rock,
Kathy Madigan, and even Chappelle.
Is Leigh-Anne's voice her real voice?
It almost sounds like a character of a Southern accent.
She's actually much more Southern.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's her real voice.
She's toning it back.
As far as I know, Kathleen Madigan, that's her real voice.
Everyone's real voice.
Tom Rhodes, Ralphie May.
Everyone named there.
That's all just how they talk.
I don't know Chris Rock, and I don't know Dave Chappelle,
but Ralphie May, Tom Rhodes, Kathleen Madigan, they all talk like that.
I would say it's not your voice on stage maybe because you're doing a show.
It's just the rhythms are going to be different,
and that's what's going to make it a show it's just the rhythms are going to be different and that's
what's going to make it seem like it's different i mean there's definitely comics that they have
a voice on stage and then a voice like they they just sound they could definitely sound different
but overall it's it's the same it's the same like you would recognize who the person is
it's not that it's not that different yeah i mean
i would say my my thing is different like doing the podcast than doing comedy but it's just yeah
it is that rhythm it's a rhythm it's a show yeah it's a little more you know you're not you know
i mean larry kibble guy like talk to him it's the same it is the same it's the same thing but it's
when he's doing his act it's maybe a little it's just so much is the same it's the same thing but it's when he's doing his act
it's maybe a little it's just so much more of it it's a little more into it turn it on
accentuate words a little differently yeah uh jackson b has bus route ever heard of pack and
play stroller our car seat strap that baby in. That poor child will be scarred for life.
Yeah, he's referencing when I said last week, Dusty,
I said that sometimes I have to, if I'm watching my daughter alone,
I'll have to take her to the bathroom with me if I got to go and put her in
there to make sure she doesn't hurt herself.
And he's right.
A lot of people said that.
We do have all those things, but she throws a fit if she's strapped in
somewhere, but if she's in the bathroom with me but she throws a fit if she's strapped in somewhere
but if she's in the bathroom with me she doesn't complain that's my point like wow
seem like this is going to eventually bother you she just lives it up in there
that were in the tub let's hope it eventually bothers her yeah yeah yeah maybe it's one of
her smells that she's yeah yeah yeah you won't be on there yeah Yeah. Brian Blint, how often do you actually have material on something,
but then pivot away if you feel that the crowd isn't buying what you are selling?
I can answer this one.
I'm not buying what you're selling.
So this weekend, I did two shows Saturday night.
The first show, I did that Jimmy Buffett joke, and it went pretty well,
if I do say so myself.
Show two, a little bit smaller crowd and i said did you guys hear jimmy buffett died today and they're like what no so i broke the news to them yeah and then as more i got into it more they
don't even know who jimmy buffett is it was a young crowd i thought they were talking about
warren buffett yeah yeah so i i pivoted
on that joke because it doesn't work so well when you don't even really know who jimmy buffett is
yeah you're like some people claim there's a woman to blame they're like what it was murder
it's like no it's nobody's fault they're like what yeah what are you talking about dude you
had a stroke he went to my dad's high school. Really? Mm-hmm. Oh, wow. McGill-Tuland Catholic High School, Mobile, Alabama.
Not to get your dad younger.
Yeah, my dad was born two years before he graduated high school.
So.
That was a weird way of putting it.
Yeah, he's 16 years older than my dad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. yeah. Yeah, yeah.
How old was he?
He was 76.
Oh.
Yeah.
I don't know how old he was.
I don't think people...
Why would you...
I'm like, do they go together?
And like, he's...
Like, did you listen to a lot of Jimmy Buffett?
I don't feel like people younger than me
necessarily really know a lot about Jimmy Buffett.
I'll be honest.
I've heard.
I really only knew the two Cheeseburger in Paradise and Margaritaville.
Oh, yeah.
That's kind of all I knew.
It's weird that he's so famous, but he's really, I mean, it's like, he's got a lot of songs I like, but like not transcending time here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You don't know come Monday?
It's the lifestyle now.
He went to Paris.
He went to Paris is a great song.
Five o'clock somewhere?
I know that one, but he was featured on that song.
It's not his song.
It's a lifestyle.
That's what I associate with him.
It's less even about him.
It's about that type of-
Parrot heads.
Parrot heads.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Island escapism.
Is that what every song's about?
Pirate looks it for it.
A lot of that.
A lot of that.
Especially as he got older.
His earlier stuff
was more country.
Yeah.
I would say.
Folksy.
Yeah.
Hannah Jo
Hold on.
Hannah Joy
Freidenlund
Goodness.
Freidenlund Hannah Jo Hannah Joy Freidenlund. Goodness. Freidenlund.
Hannah Joy Freidenlund.
I actually spent my gap year in Opelika, Alabama.
Wow.
What's a gap year?
Like in college or between high school and college,
sometimes people will spend a year exploring,
usually backpacking in Europe, but she took a different route.
I had a grandma there and figured it was more exciting to work some jobs and live there
for a year instead of Ohio.
I worked at a coffee house called the Overall Company.
I did go there.
Yeah, sorry.
I wonder if Dusty ever went.
I did go there.
I think it's closed now, but I went there.
It was at, I don't know any of the streets, but it's right outside of downtown.
It was pretty cool.
I liked it.
I mean, that was built long after I left.
But I went there probably 2015, 14, 15.
And then I did a show at the bottling the coke company bottling plant yeah i've done that
place yeah went there it was great had some coffee over there the weird thing about opelika
coffee shops is like they're weirdly like really snobby kind it's like it's like you know like
there's one coffee place downtown where they're like name name your own price for coffee. And I'm like, all right, guys, like just charge an amount.
I guess it's a weird kind of thing.
And I felt like the overall company was like that too.
But it's like, I just feel like, like be a coffee shop, but just be cool.
You know what I mean?
What would people do?
What's the average when they name your own price?
A dollar?
I mean, I feel like you'd go five bucks.
Five, I'm guessing is the average.
I bet it's not the five.
I would be willing to bet it's not five.
I think that's high.
It depends on where it is in town.
$379, I'd say on average.
There's a restaurant I go to in McMinnville.
And if you get takeout, they charge you 10% for takeout.
And I'm like, what?
And I was like, what's this? I asked
somebody, I was like, what is this? And they go, oh, it's for the staff. It's like a tip.
And I'm like, well, you should say that, that it's a gratuity.
Yeah. Or let me tip.
Yeah. Because it feels like you're just charging me extra. And now if I don't tip on top of that,
I look cheap. And it really is keeping me from ordering from the place.
Yeah.
I'm like,
you're charging me an extra 10% just because I didn't want to eat this food
here.
You know what I mean?
Like if I,
if you charge for the box,
that's one thing,
but if I eat there and then go,
let me get a box,
you don't charge me.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Well,
you should go order when
they bring you the food go could you box it up yeah yeah i should do that i'm gonna get out of
here yeah and do it to avoid the 10 yeah but just like i don't know i just think that's weird it's
like it's keeping me from wanting to go there yeah well they should just be gratuity i i yeah
i wish we would become a world where gratuity is included, especially over here.
It's kind of taken out of everybody's hands.
You like that in Australia?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just, I mean, you're so ingrained in it that it's hard not to tip, but I wish we would just be like, here's the price, and this is what I'm paying for, and you charge the price.
I think you get everybody to move on with their lives. I'm getting there too because it's like everywhere you go
is like a tip.
Everybody wants a tip
and I'm like,
why don't you just
tell me what it costs?
Because it's like
you go to a coffee shop
and it's like,
if you just get a black coffee
and they want a tip,
I'm like,
you did nothing here.
Like if you're making me
some cappuccino
and you got a little design,
you put a little,
you made the foam,
you made a little heart
in there and you,
all right, maybe you get a little tip. But I mean, I just got a little design, you put a little, you made the foam, you made a little heart in there and you, all right, maybe you get a little tip,
but I mean, I just got a black coffee and a cinnamon roll here.
It's just because they all use iPads now and we all play with cards.
So they just flip it around. I mean, if we paid with cash,
that wouldn't be a thing at least places like coffee shops. Yeah. That's going to be, but that's like the, uh,
it's because these people don't, they don't pay them enough.
It's like the businesses are like, well, you just make all your money from the, I can pay you $3 an hour and just make it on tips instead of paying them.
But now the people, like that's for servers, but now the people that are making an hourly wage are still getting tips too yeah yeah well on labor day we're hashing this out happy labor day football season is here and we all have busy schedules so if we want to go to a game sometimes we'll get in town just in

Comedy.
Like they miss the job because they have to go to the concert.
No,
no.
You're like,
you're,
you're a guy that's really worried about the,
I'm not saying you,
I'm saying,
yeah.
If you're like,
if you're an artist,
that's like,
like,
I don't like that.
You're,
you know,
if something happens,
you're,
no,
no one's going to be like, well, we can't give that up. Yeah. You're the you know, if something happens, you're, no one's going to be like,
well,
we can't give that up.
Yeah.
You're the first thing they're going to Johnny paycheck.
Remember him?
Oh yeah.
Take this job and shove it.
He's got a lot of unemployed people.
Oh,
that's true.
That is true.
That's the unemployed man's anthem.
Yeah.
Oh,
you're saying like that.
I'd be the first one.
If they lost their job,
they ain't going to come see me.
Cause yeah,
I'm not saying you, I was saying in general, it if they lost their job, they ain't going to come see me. Yeah, I'm not saying you.
I was saying in general.
People like it.
Yeah.
But, yeah, because it's like you'd use the job loss to go.
And then I guess who's the audience that's going to lose their job?
Limp Bizkit crowd.
Yeah.
I think they're a, we lost our job kind of at the edge.
Yeah, like early on, Limp Bizkit crowd would be,
they may, if they lost their job, they'd still go.
They'd lose their job.
They'd quit their job to go.
Like they lost their job because hemp necklaces went out of stock.
Yeah, but the ones that are still going now,
they're in their 40s, you're like,
they're probably going to lose their job.
Sure.
I don't know what I'm saying.
I'm into this game, though.
Yeah.
I just think of the fan base that's most likely to lose their job.
That's what I'm thinking.
It can't be a serious.
Yeah, you can't really have a serious, serious job.
It's got to be.
What comedian?
Truck rallies.
Doug Stanhope.
That's a good one.
Yeah.
Somebody that rebels.
Yeah, it's got to be.
Their audience has to be kind of rebellious. Rebellious? Rebellious. Yeah, it's got to be, their audience has to be kind of rebellious.
Rebellious?
Rebellious.
Yeah.
Like Leanne from?
Leanne's from.
I'd say Leanne's crowd
is like,
they're like,
not even have jobs.
Like, not that they're,
they're like married
and they're like,
this is our lady.
You know what I mean?
Like, they're all doing fine.
I don't feel like
they're a job-losing crowd.
Well, this week's topic is football.
All right.
And I was thinking like there's so many traditions in football, like the Gatorade bath and stuff like that.
What is it for like comedy has been pretty much the same since the beginning.
Stand up comedy as far as traditions or trends or changes.
I can't even think of anything like what's it
what's even one tradition for stand-up yeah mics in a stool like that i mean that's been since the
beginning yeah is that what you mean though i guess i was thinking it's not a tradition but
now so many comics do crowd work that's a new trend that yeah there's trends and that's social
media trends mostly having a bottle of water,
that kind of thing?
Maybe, yeah.
I guess I don't understand the question.
I don't think I do either. I don't think there is any.
There's live performance
where people say,
break a leg,
or people say,
slay them,
or they go,
crush it.
Are those...
Murdered Tonight.
Yeah, Murdered Tonight.
A lot of the language is kind of grandfathered in.
Stand-up's so new.
Still new.
It's still so new compared to, like, football, which has been around for 60 years.
Doing Gatorade baths.
I'll tell you that.
That even annoys me seeing it happen to a coach.
I'm just like, oh, man.
You don't like the camaraderie of it?
I was like, that guy was all dry, and now he's like, he's all wet now.
He's got to give a conference, and he's all wet.
But you're getting Gatorade baths on the best day of your life.
Sometimes.
If it's the Super Bowl, maybe.
But it'll be a conference game, and you're getting the Gatorade.
I'm like, oh, man.
And now it's water, usually.
It's all cold.
No, you can usually do a prop bet on what color the Gatorade.
Oh,
it is still Gatorade.
Yeah.
It's usually Gatorade.
Oh,
okay.
I don't,
I'm not a fan of it.
I think you feel differently.
If you live,
I think I'm in the minority here.
If you lived a life where that kind of thing would happen,
you would pray to get a Gatorade bet.
Yeah.
If you try to get into a state championship and for high school and you,
you finally make it and it's like,
yeah,
you're going to go
to four of those.
Maybe in your career.
Yeah.
Or if you're lucky
for probably,
but you're probably
going to go to one.
Maybe it's just overdone.
Have you had
a Gatorade bath moment
in your standup career?
I think you've had them.
That's a better question
than what I try to throw out.
It's a lot better.
Yeah.
It's a lot better.
Yeah,
that makes a lot more sense.
Yeah.
I would say,
I feel like my first
in improv,
my first Tonight Show
would be a Gatorade bath.
A hundred percent.
But I'm glad nobody did it.
Yeah, because it'd be inappropriate.
Jimmy Fallon.
No, that would be a great clip.
It'd be memorable.
It's not taking a little literal. Yeah, this is the metaphor of it. Yeah. No, that would be a great clip. It'd be memorable. Yeah. Yeah. It's not taking a little literal.
Yeah, this is the metaphor of it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you were outside, like when they're playing football too,
like they're already sweaty and they're already, you're already showering.
But it's the coach though.
I know, but he's also showering.
He's been out there too.
I mean, when it's hot, you're going to be, yeah, you're going to be sticky.
You go in and take a shower.
Your clothes are gross.
And you're, it's like like that's what it is.
That's when they spray champagne on each other after they win a championship.
It's because you're celebrating.
You're like, you can get as – I think there's a celebration to go,
you can get – there's nothing funner than a kid when you go,
you can get as dirty or messy as you want.
There's no rules.
Dive around in the mud.
Your whole life is don't get dirty and messy.
Then it's like here's a moment.
Get as messy as you want.
Well, what about this though?
Do you ever see a coach
get a Gatorade bath
and you think,
well, I don't know
if that really deserved
a Gatorade bath.
Oh, I'm sure there's plenty.
Sure.
Yeah.
I'm sure there's plenty of games
where you're like,
all right,
that's kind of ridiculous.
That's what I think.
Kentucky's coach got one
and then they lost.
Yeah.
You get one prematurely.
That's great. That's in the Bluegrass Miracle. That's a tough game, right? That's the worst one. That's a tough one. That is a got one, and then they lost. Yeah. You get one prematurely. That's great. That's in the Bluegrass Miracle.
That's a tough game, right?
That's the worst one.
That's a tough one.
That is a bad one.
You're wet, and you lost.
You're wet, sticky, and you lost the game.
And you lost.
He's like, why are you so sticky?
Oh, they dumped Gatorade on me.
Oh, you won.
Well, nah, we lost in the end.
We were celebrating.
If someone said, like, why do you like sports?
That would be, you'd almost show them that clip.
Yeah.
To go, this is the unpredictability.
Right.
To go, that can always happen.
In a world where everything's increasingly automated and AI generated, what's more human than that?
Nothing.
When a player runs and drops the football before he crosses the line.
Yeah.
That's way too often.
Hubris.
I mean, you're seeing it all play.
Yeah.
You're going, you're watching it, and you could stop that clip 10 yards before the end,
and you can go, what have I told you?
He's not going to score.
And you're like, there's no one around him.
You wouldn't even be able to guess how he wouldn't be able to score.
You'd be like, he trips.
And I'm like, doesn't trip.
You honestly couldn't guess it. You'd be like, he trips. And I'm like, doesn't trip. You honestly couldn't dress.
Guess it.
You'd be like, I don't know.
Then how?
And then it's just you press play and you realize, well, why would he do that?
You're like, no one knows.
He doesn't know why he did it.
Yeah.
And that's the fun.
Totally.
That's the uncertainty.
I think college football has a little bit more of that than pro.
I mean, that example happens both,
but college football is a little bit more of the band on the field.
Yeah.
The band on the field is one of the craziest.
Yeah.
That's one, too.
The band on the field.
The what?
Brady and the Falcons.
When he came back and beat the Falcons, it was 28 to 3.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, everybody thought, well, that's done.
You've never seen the play, Dustin?
I don't think so.
This is Cal Stanford. Huge rivalry. This is in the Rose Bowl, well, that's done. You've never seen the play, Dusty. This is Cal Stanford, huge rivalry.
This is in the Rose Bowl, right?
I think so.
Two ACC teams now.
It looks like it's at Cal.
At the end of the game, Stanford's kicking off to Cal.
Stanford thinks they've won the game.
This is a crazy lateral play like you've seen where they're running around.
Throw it behind him.
Now everybody thinks the game's over. Look who's on the field. play like you've seen where they're running around the guy throw it behind him now everybody
thinks the game's over look who's on the field the stanford band oh is on the field you got to
run through he trucks a player right here just wow the band is on the field i love that he hit
that bone player yeah i love that he hit that band member, though. That's great. Wow, that's amazing.
Yeah, one of those iconic plays in college football history.
Wow.
1982.
Now, see, that, I think the losing coach should get a Gatorade bag.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what I think.
It should be reserved for the losing coach.
They should do all the band.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And not be allowed to shower. Maybe the band has to walk to a car all the band. Yeah. Yeah. And not be allowed to shower.
Maybe the band has to walk to a car wash.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
I like that.
Yeah.
With their instruments.
Yeah.
They have to play and keep playing the whole way through.
I agree with that.
Dude.
Speaking of bands in college football.
So this weekend, Lucy got me tickets to Notre Dame's home opener in South Bend, Indiana,
Again, Lucy got me tickets to Notre Dame's home opener in South Bend, Indiana, which was exciting because we were playing a school from Nashville, the Tennessee State Tigers.
Did you ride up with them?
I did.
Tennessee State is an HBCU, Historically Black College and University, historically and currently.
And we beat them 56 to three.
It was not a close game, but the Tennessee State University aristocrat of bands, their halftime show was like special.
I've never seen a halftime show like that at Notre Dame stadium.
I love the Notre Dame band.
They're my band. They're the oldest university
band in the country, but they're playing a different game. The Tennessee state band,
they came out dancing. It was very funny hearing fans around me comment on it. I like how their
band's dancing. I heard a lot of that. Seems like their game is the band. It did feel like that.
It felt like, I mean, mean there are we played like one song
and then we were like we're just gonna give you all the floor and they put on i mean it is a real
show look at the people that stay it is a real show yeah i've never seen this many people stick
around to watch it they were getting into it man they get a big round of applause like standing
oh from the whole stadium which I've never seen before.
And there's a guy, I've never seen this at a halftime show.
There's a guy with a mic kind of narrating it throughout it.
And he kept going, South Bend.
He kept going, Notre Dame, we love you.
Ain't nothing you can do about it.
He kept saying that kind of stuff.
It was just so much fun, dude.
That's great.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're famous for their bands.
Auburn always had a good band,
the Spirit of the South, they called them.
And that was fun.
I used to go to those games a lot,
and Auburn was great.
Yeah.
The band.
Yeah, there's like the Notre Dame band,
Auburn, Alabama, they're very precise.
Yeah.
They move with like military precision.
This was not like that.
This was like a whole different thing, man.
Just dancing, grooving, having fun.
I was getting into it, man.
Playing some Chaka Khan.
They're playing old school stuff.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I love it.
You know what I'm talking about?
I do.
I do know what you're talking about.
All right.
Anyway.
So that was very fun to see.
Yeah, that's awesome.
Shout out the aristocrat of bands.
Yeah, when it's a small school
playing a big school,
it's like,
we know we're not going
to win the game,
but we can go up
and put on a show.
And that's what they did.
Yeah.
So.
What's the best game
you've ever been to?
Best game I've ever been to,
Notre Dame-Stanford 2012
goal line stand.
Manti Teo stops.
They're running back stormed the field.
I've stormed the field three times in my college career.
But that season, there were a lot of great games.
That's the year Notre Dame went to the national championship game.
Michigan was a great game that year.
Stanford, there's been a couple others.
That one stands out the most.
It's not a game that I think people who aren't Notre Dame fans remember,
but it was a big one for us.
Do you think you maybe rushed the field when you shouldn't have?
It's kind of like the Gatorade
bath. People debate,
is that field rushing? Because Notre Dame,
you guys have so much tradition.
It's kind of rare. And you beat Stanford?
Yeah, Stanford was
top 10 in the country at that point.
What are you talking about?
Have you ever stormed the field at Vanderbilt?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you win.
Would you beat Mercer by three?
I think you beat Duke.
I stormed it with Duke after we beat Duke.
Really?
No, because we – yeah, I think I've told it.
Yeah, we've told it.
They beat South Carolina the week before.
And then we ran on the field, and then they were –
Titans were playing there the next day.
So basically one guy's like, hey, guys, the Titans game is next week,
so if y'all don't mind.
And we're like, oh, yeah, that makes sense, and we just left.
That's very respectful.
Very respectful.
Yeah.
And then the next week we beat Duke, and so then they were like,
you can do it now.
And then we ran and took it.
Oh, that's fun.
This is a bowl game we were at in Birmingham.
Is it the Compass Bowl?
Compass? Compass?
Compass?
Yeah.
It was James Franklin's last game at Vanderbilt.
And Vandy won.
That's a Tennessee game, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And there's us on the sideline there.
That game was great.
Because we just destroyed them.
Yeah.
Is that Wesley Tate?
You remember him?
I do remember Wesley Tate.
I don't know if that was when he was there.
I played high school football with him, dude.
Taught him everything he knows.
I was going to ask you, who's the best player you ever played with?
Him?
Probably.
Yeah.
Yeah, in high school.
I just missed.
I would have played with Golden Tate if I had moved to Tennessee a little earlier because he went to in high school i just missed i moved to i would have played with golden tate
if i had moved to tennessee a little earlier because he went to my high school but i got
there after he had left so his brother wesley tate who played at vanderbilt freak athlete just
a man playing with kids is what it looked like you know you see like just one of these guys who's so
good they look like they're playing with children. You watch old high school highlight tapes of stars.
It's like the child's play, dude.
Just stiff-arming children out there.
What about you?
Do you have that one more?
That guy that you got an autograph from?
Yeah.
There's me when I was the guest picker in college game day.
Oh, wow.
Did you know that, Dusty?
That doesn't seem real.
What are you talking about?
I'll be honest with you.
That looks like you on T.
It looks good.
Yeah.
It does.
It does look.
That's a great picture of you.
It's a good Photoshop, but it.
Yeah.
Whose body is that?
Are those cardboard cutouts, Brian?
That's at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.
It used to be in South Bend.
Anyway, it's in Atlanta now.
Yeah, it's in Atlanta now.
And it's just a green screen where you sit down.
You do look very fit there.
Well, it was a different time.
Yeah.
Oh.
Fresh cut.
A few years ago.
I think you look remarkably similar to how you look now.
Oh, well, thank you.
Because I look good there and apparently I look good now.
Yeah. So anyway,
what was the question?
I don't know. Go around the room.
Anybody have a question?
Somebody asked me a question. I said, well, let's show that one more picture.
Well, Aaron said, who's the guy,
the best guy you ever played with? That guy
you got an autograph from. Yeah. Well, I didn't play
football. Carlos Gross was a basketball
player. Okay. Best player I ever saw play? Yeah. I didn't play football. Carlos Gross was a basketball player. Okay.
Best player I ever saw play?
Yeah.
Carlos Gross.
I mean, I've seen a lot of great college football.
Are we talking about, obviously not pro, because then you're, I've seen Tom Brady play in person.
Yeah, sure.
In college.
You see, I went to MTSU.
They had a big game this weekend too, against Alabama.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was close game.
It could have gone either way,
but you know,
pretty exciting.
I just experienced one out in the end.
I think,
you know,
equal talent on the field.
Yeah,
I guess so.
Um,
I don't,
I don't know.
I'd have to think about the best player from Vandy that I thought would be for sure.
A star in the pros was...
Jay Cohen.
Well, I mean, he was...
But the guy that didn't...
Wasn't as great that I thought he was going to be was Jordan Matthews, wide receiver for Vandy.
And he was...
Yeah.
He's a fan of the podcast.
Is he?
I don't know.
I met him recently.
He was so much better.
He's back playing.
He's still playing.
Well, there you go.
We still got time.
But yeah, he was, in college, he's unreal.
Unreal.
He was drafted by the Eagles in the second round of the 2014 NFL draft.
I think sometimes these guys, they work real hard in college to make it to the NFL.
And then when they make money, they're like,
actually, I'm good. I don't need
to keep working
this hard. I've made money. I don't think he made the
money like that.
He was a three-star
recruit. Give me an example of who you're talking about.
He had a good career. He came
and did stuff with the Eagles and did good.
He's kind of bounced around. I want to say
he got hurt, too.
They got him as a tight end.
Who was the guy?
Yeah, I think he had dreads.
He played for the Dolphins.
Ricky Williams.
Ricky Williams.
I think that's a good example where he was like,
I want to do what I want to do, and I've already made some money.
And if you're going to keep holding me to these rules, then who cares?
Right. Yes. Okay. That is a great example. I wonder how much money they're allowed to keep like holding me to these rules, then who cares? Yeah.
Right.
Yes.
Okay.
That is a great example.
I wonder if they're allowed, how much money they're allowed to take though.
Like if you do something like that.
Because I mean, really, there has to be things because, you know, these, NFL is a business.
So it's like, they could say like, we're giving you all this money.
But, you know, these guys are like, I'm also realizing i'm giving it to an 18 year old
or 20 year old that doesn't know anything and that that might just quit yeah johnny menzel is
another example yeah yeah so like made a little money and then he's like i don't care about this
yeah does johnny menzel just like get 10 million dollars and then he's just you have clauses in
your contract a lot of these clauses contracts will have a morality clause where they can void.
They don't owe you anymore if they find that you violated that in some way.
So there are all kinds of stipulations in the contract.
But with like a decent business mindset, you make two or three million dollars.
You could turn that into something to work for you.
Sure.
Yeah.
I don't know, man.
It's hard to make.
Even if you can turn it into a new,
if you,
even if you make something,
the two,
even if you got,
if you left with $2 million,
it's,
it is very hard
to make
that more.
You know what I mean?
Like you're famous
and stuff like that,
but you got to realize
if you're Johnny Manziel,
I don't know what he's making right now.
Outside of investments,
if he can get involved in investments and like really do that,
cause some,
you could do that stuff,
but that takes its own talent and persistence.
And you gotta be,
all your money can't be in one thing that if that thing fails,
it's going to go away.
So even if you're Johnny Manziel,
you're like,
all right,
we all like Johnny Manziel,
but like how much is he going to get paid to go to a party or go to a thing or whatever he's doing appearance
fees he needed to stick around a little longer yeah it can't be that like i i'm just saying like
to go get it like you gotta really have some be built on some concrete things are be really good, you know,
or yes,
you can live on $3 million,
but you,
you want me to live like you might want to live.
You know,
I think how much money Johnny Manziel could have made in college.
If you now,
I know.
I just watched that documentary about him and talked about how he signed a
ton of autographs and stuff.
And he was taking,
taking money from people.
It's like, yeah, he would have gotten all that.
He would have made so much money.
He was the most popular college athlete in the country.
It was unbelievable to watch.
Johnny Football, man.
That's the most disappointing college to NFL guy I've seen.
And I have not seen it forever, but it's like he did nothing.
It really bummed me out.
Yeah.
There have been some busts, but that was up there for sure.
To Marcus Russell?
To Marcus Russell is, yeah, one of the worst.
That's probably the biggest.
Yeah.
Probably.
He was number one.
Number one overall pick.
But, I mean, that guy, isn't he got a regular job now or something?
I would think so.
Yeah.
Yeah, and I don't know.
So, I don't know what money he got.
But, I mean, and two, like they don't, you know, bless their heart, they don't know what to do. Yeah. See, I I don't know. So I don't know what money he got. But, I mean, and two, like, they don't, you know,
bless their heart, they don't know what to do.
Yeah.
See, I don't know him.
I was not.
Played for LSU.
He might be coaching, though.
Now, is he coaching?
Or no.
No, there's somebody else that's coaching.
Doesn't have his current job on his Wikipedia.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it was just.
It's always weird to think about them working a regular job
like you know i was like celebrities i remember reading uh about jim carrey when i was uh growing
up and it said he used to clean toilets before he became famous yeah and i remember reading that
being like wow i can't believe that i'm like oh he's cleaning toilets like the rest of us out here
yeah you know what i mean it's not that hard to believe when you put it in the scope of like
there are people that clean that's their job to clean toilets right but you read it
about a celebrity like oh i can't believe it what a dirty job he had to do but i've cleaned toilets
for money before you know what i mean i clean it for free yeah yeah i think it yeah it's the it's
bitch it's the starting from nothing to get to something. And so it's hope.
Yeah.
You know, and like that's, I think that's obviously what.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's always like regular.
Yeah.
People like that more than they like, he went to Harvard.
Right.
You know.
Yeah.
When you do hear about a celebrity that like went to Harvard, you're like, nah.
Yeah.
You like them less.
God forbid somebody get a good education. Right. Well, if they went to Harvard, you're like, nah. You like them less. God forbid somebody get a good education.
Well, if they went to Michigan State or something,
you're like, bless your heart.
Rags to riches.
You're like, God, that guy barely made it.
I don't even know how he did it.
Who's the most famous person to come out of Notre Dame?
Regis Philbin, maybe.
Joe Montana.
Oh, a football player?
Well, I just meant anybody.
I would even say maybe Joe Montana or Regis Philbin. I think he is. I? Joe Montana? Oh, a football player? Well, I just meant anybody. I would even say maybe
is Joe Montana or Regis Philbin? I think he is.
I think Joe Montana is.
Nah, I think Joe Montana is number one.
Rudy? Rudy might be
number one just because that movie got more reach
than anything. But I think you're thinking
of the actor. I think if
Daniel Rudiger walked in here, you wouldn't
even know who he was. I know, but it's the
if someone says Notre Dame, they're going to go Rudy.
They're not going to go Regis Philbin.
His name wasn't Rudy Rudiger?
They might say Joe Montana.
He went by Rudy.
I don't think they're going to say Joe Montana now because it's already past the thing.
Rudy is probably the main thing.
It's a made-up story.
That's what you all had to do.
As far as no presidents have ever went to Notre Dame.
We've had Supreme Court justices.
We've had some –
Come on, everybody has that.
Yeah.
MTSU's got half a dozen of them.
Yeah.
Who's not a judge?
I'm a dozen, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, look, this list is too long.
I mean, it appears that Vanderbilt –
Again, I said this last week.
I'll say it again.
Vanderbilt and Notre Dame are headed for a collision in the college football playoffs.
It's going to happen, dude.
Vanderbilt can be 7-0 before we get to Georgia.
I just don't see how anybody's going to beat us.
I don't know about Notre Dame's schedule,
but it's headed for a showdown, both 2-0.
Yeah, but I honestly think we can be 7-0 going into Georgia, or 6-1.
We could also be 2-5.
Ah, we're going to be good.
Yeah.
We turned it on late against Alabama A&M.
I can't wait to see it.
We had a crazy second half.
We did start off slow, and it was like, what are we doing?
But the typical Vandy would always start slow and then stay slow.
Yeah.
16 to nine.
The final score was like 47 to...
It was a blowout. It was a blowout.
The second half was, we scored
40 points in the second half.
So it just showed like,
we turned it, you know, great.
Clark Lee goes to give a great speech that
halftime. Really got into
them, I imagine, because they came out
and turned it on.
I thought you heard it.
You were in the locker room and you heard the speech.
I would say probably.
I assume.
Great halftime speech.
Yeah, they did great.
They need a good halftime boost.
You need a good speech to get you going.
Deion Sanders is so fun.
The Deion Sanders stuff, I'm rooting for Colorado.
And I never would have rooted for Colorado.
I just never – I don't think I ever liked Colorado.
Maybe because they're black and gold too.
And so, like, that was always, you know, Vandy was –
Who do they got coming up?
What's their schedule?
Nebraska.
Yeah.
But, like, Deion Sanders is – you want –
I don't know if there's a kid – a parent in America
that doesn't want their kids to go play for Deion Sanders.
Is his son also the quarterback?
Yeah.
But, I mean, he's just – like, dude, he's awesome.
He seems awesome.
They might be 3-0 coming into Oregon.
Oregon and USC are two tough games for them.
And then, you know, they play –
They've got a decent schedule.
I mean, their schedule's not easy.
They play in essentially a fictional conference.
So, they're going to have –
Utah.
If they beat USC and Oregon, that's it.
I think Nebraska beats him next week.
Yeah.
I like the,
I was watching four state game last night and four state look really good.
But you're like,
man,
he's got to be just looking at,
I don't know if he wants to coach the pros or not.
Maybe he does.
Uh,
but you're like,
I wonder if he's looking at that Florida state job.
Like they got to be,
there are people that wanted people at Florida State who wanted him.
Yeah.
But he wasn't really there yet.
No, he hadn't proven himself at a D1 level yet.
I read something that when he played for the Cowboys,
he played 50% of offensive plays and 80% defensive plays
while also playing baseball.
Major League Baseball.
I mean, that's unreal.
And 100% of special teams.
Yeah, that is unreal. Since he was the punt returner.
That is unreal.
It's crazy.
He's never really off the field.
And then,
they got a kid now
that is playing both sides,
which is very,
I mean,
I don't know,
we were trying to see,
like,
when do you even see that?
It's like Shohei Otani.
It just never happens anymore.
Yeah.
That's the crazy,
the Shohei Otani.
If,
if,
if no,
I mean, it's the angels and it can be hard to
find a baseball player but what that guy's doing is it's it's like i keep just at least be aware
of it because that's that's a guy that when it's when he retires or dies yeah uh both possibilities
you're not going to be like i wish i would some of it. I'm not saying watch every game, but that's a pretty special place.
I think there's a shocking amount of people.
He's literally the best baseball player ever.
I don't even think there's an argument otherwise.
What's he doing that makes him so special?
He is leading, at least he was as of a day ago, leading the Major League Baseball in home runs.
Okay.
He's a 300-plus hitter.
He's one of the best hitters in baseball.
And he's one of the best pitchers in baseball.
Wow.
Okay.
Who's he playing for?
He plays for the Angels, who are not good.
And he actually, he's having Tommy John surgery in like 10 days.
Yeah.
But he still, he can't pitch the rest of the season,
but he's been hitting with a messed up elbow,
and he's still hitting home runs.
Yeah.
I mean, pretty crazy.
Nobody's ever done that.
Nobody's ever done it.
Babers.
That comparison is almost offensive at this point.
Well, but he did do it.
He didn't do it.
He didn't do both for long at all.
Yeah, but, I mean, he did them.
That's what he's known for.
Initially, that comparison made sense,
but he didn't do both at a high level at the same time.
The football episode.
He gave up pitching once he went to the Yankees, right?
Yeah, he started playing outfield.
Oh.
He started as a pitcher,
and then he only did both for like a season and a half or something.
Didn't do both at the same time.
Football episodes really turn into a baseball episode.
Yeah.
Well, listen, we're talking about greatness.
So this.
Kind of got to get into it.
All right.
I'll share just a couple of facts here.
So football started in the 1800s.
Harvard was the first American school to play it.
Walter Camp is known as the father of American football. He brought in a lot of the
inventions like line of scrimmage and
the system of downs. What if you're Walter?
What if you're that guy and you invent
football and you're like, I mean, I'm
going to be talked about forever. And then everybody's
like, you won't.
Yeah. And you're like, but I invented
it. Yeah. And you go, then now he would go, well, is football not a big deal? And you're like but i invented yeah and you go then now he would go
well is football not a big deal and you're like it's the main it's the main thing we do as a
country it's the main thing we do you're like and i'm not brought up every day you go i would i
would argue a lot of people don't even know who you are is there an award named after him the
walter camp award it's not even a good award it's is that for? You go, is it like the Heisman?
You go, it's not.
It's not.
You want it to be, and I understand that because you invented it.
I've heard of it.
I've heard the award.
It's the Walter Camp that's given to the player of the year.
Yeah.
I mean, OJ won it twice.
Yeah.
Who won it recently?
Caleb Williams for USC won it last year.
But I mean, it's not the Heisman.
Oh, Cole McCoy, Cam Newton, Andrew Luck.
Oh, yeah.
That's a hot lineup.
It basically looks like whoever gets the Heisman gets that.
Yeah.
It looks like it.
And if someone says he won the Walter Camp Award, I mean, in the football world, I think it matters.
Sure.
They matter.
But to your average fan, no one's watching.
They might do that award during the Heisman. Do do it during the heisman or right the day before i
think it's the night before when they do the yeah home depot awards i do it the night before the guy
what's the heisman named after him john heisman uh what does he do the grandfather he goes i
he goes i dated uh wal Walter Kemp's daughter.
Did you?
John Heisman.
He was a player and coach of American football.
He was the head coach of Oberlin College, you know, college football powerhouse.
Yeah.
And a few others.
He was a good coach.
He's also the head basketball coach.
That's how long ago this was. I believe he was.
I sense he was president of the Atlanta Crackers baseball team.
Mm-hmm.
And you know what?
If they were to stay like that, they could have kept that name.
I believe he was the coach at Georgia Tech when they beat Cumberland 222 to nothing.
Oh, right.
Biggest blowout in college football history.
But it's funny to be, you know, you're Walter Camp and you're just like,
yeah,
your name for a lot of people
be like,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
I think,
you know,
you're just kind of like,
yeah,
yeah.
And you're like,
you're the only reason we're out here.
Like he invented camp,
right?
Yeah.
You know,
that's what it seems like
he'd be associated with.
Yeah.
Walter Camp.
He invented camping.
Before that,
we were just sleeping outside.
Right.
Now we're camping.
I would think if you went up to a person,
they have no idea what you're about to ask them.
And you said, what did Walter Camp invent?
Some people might say camping.
Or camping supplies.
Is that like Walt Disney?
They think it's something to do with that.
I don't know if they'd say he invented football.
Animation maybe or something.
Yeah.
Or maybe being real silly, like campy.
Yeah.
Man, I bet he was furious.
I bet he died angry.
No, I think he died.
I think he was like, I leave the legacy.
And then now he went back.
He'd be like, no, you're, yeah, you left legacy, but it's.
They talk about you on a podcast occasionally.
He died in 1925 so it was like football was like a budding
hobby at best in 1925 nobody cared back then you know but still you invented it i know i know so
he never even got to see it become something i mean you would think that our main stuff would
be called the thing after the guy that invented it. Yeah, he called it camp ball. They should have called it camp ball.
What's the guy that invented basketball?
Naismith.
Naismith.
Like Naismith is very much, everybody knows he invented basketball.
Everybody knows he invented basketball.
I didn't know that.
Well, and that's because you've never seen basketball.
Yeah.
They at least named the Hall of Fame after him.
Yeah.
NBA Hall of Fame.
Yeah.
Naismith Memorial.
What's his first name?
John.
I thought it was James. A lot of Johns. James Naismith or John Naismith Memorial. What's his first name? John. I thought it was James.
A lot of Johns.
James Naismith or John Naismith.
It was one of those J names.
Yeah.
James, you're right.
Yeah, I guess football is, Walter Camp's the closest to an inventor,
but there's not one clear.
They kind of took it from rugby and just kind of changed the rules a little bit.
Maybe they said that much earlier.
That's a great point.
Camp ball.
You kind of ran with it more than I expected. When did you think of that point? When you were kind of on that last
part of the round. Maybe I should clarify. We're now talking about John Naismith. Dusty,
why don't you tell us about AG1? James Naismith. Well, listen, our next partner is AG1.
AG1. AG1, yeah. I think you said AJ. I probably did, but it's AG1.
I'm still coming down from the coffee and the AG1 I had today.
It's very good.
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 like to take 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's much easier to mix one
scoop of powder in water once a day than to take a bunch of different things. It is the healthiest
thing you can do in under a minute and costs less than $3 a day. Since we travel so often,
we also get the single serving travel packs, so we never have to miss a day when we're on the road.
You can get free monthly delivery to make it even easier.
It tastes great.
And I do feel better when I take it.
It's always good to take some vitamins.
And this is an easy way to do it because every scoop has 75 vitamins, minerals, and whole
food sourced ingredients of the highest quality that have major benefits like gut and mood support, boosted energy, and even healthier looking
skin, hair, and nails. Look at this hair. Less than one gram of naturally occurring sugar per
serving, AG1 has been part of millions of mornings since 2010. If you want to take ownership of your
health, try AG1 and get a free one-year supply of vitamin D and five AG1 travel packs with your first purchase.

That's drinkag1.com slash Nate.
Nate, did you bring my seat cushion?
So in 1905 yeah 19 players
died
on the college football field
so President Roosevelt said
you gotta
they were doing pretty good
these days
yeah
he's like you gotta come up
with something
to make it less violent
so they
they made it
the forward pass
legal thing
what was it
just backward passes
so it was just
so it was like rugby
it was a lot like rugby
I think just
how did they
how was it so,
because rugby, I feel like,
did they die like that?
I don't think so.
I hope not.
Yeah.
But.
And probably also alcoholics in 1905.
Yeah.
It's true.
Yeah, they're like.
Dehydrated.
It's got to be safe.
You're like, it's typhoid.
Yeah, they're dying.
Iurea.
Yeah.
What are you talking about? They're all 44.'s Ty Ford. Yeah, they're dying. Iorea. Yeah. What are you talking about?
They're all 44.
That's what they eat.
So back then, the Ford Pass fell incomplete.
It was a turnover.
Wow.
So it was pretty risky.
I like that.
I like that.
Pretty risky at that pass.
I like that rule.
Now, Notre Dame did perfect the Ford Pass.
They're the first team that became a pass first, run second team.
That's real confidence, especially if it's a turnover.
It's not a very old tradition.
Yeah.
That's kind of new.
You feel like a very new kind of – you're like Oregon changing uniforms all the time.
That's what it feels like.
Wow.
A school that does that.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
You're not just a – Notre Dame, you think it's a –
like they get in there, it's like it's defense, we run the football,
we're old school.
Turns out y'all are the ones who couldn't handle the heat,
so you got out of the kitchen.
We're finesse players.
Yeah.
George Gipp.
George Gipp.
Win one for the Gipper.
19, 19, 19, 20.
Oh, G.J.
Started airing it out.
19, 21 team.
Is it?
I think it's – is it K-I-P-P-E-R? Gipp. G-I-P-P. G.J. Win airing out 1921 team. Is it? I think. Is it K-I-P-P-E-R?
G.I.P.
G.I.P.
G.I.P.
Win one for the Gipper.
Ronald Reagan.
Yeah.
Double J.
I thought it was Kipper.
Good game.
George Kipper.
If you could change one rule about football, what would it be?
I got two.
Okay.
What would you do?
If you were a commissioner.
Because I thought this question might come up.
Commissioner of football. College and NFL. The made up position. What would you do? If you were a commissioner. Because I thought this question might come up. Commissioner of football, college and NFL, the made-up position.
What would you change?
So there's a limit on how many challenges a coach can have.
But I feel like if you're continuously right, why should it be your fault if the ref keeps screwing up that there's a limit on how many times you can challenge it?
Oh.
I like that.
That's a really good rule.
So it would be you only get one, but you can use it the whole time until you lose it and then it's over
yeah you could do that i would do that how would you do it because you can't have them just
challenging every single thing yeah it'd be non-stop but that's on the refs if they're
because you do lose a time out if you're wrong so there is some penalty that you encourage i know
but just say so you don't get one challenge. You get one challenge.
If you're right, then you can keep going.
You don't lose your challenge.
The second you're wrong, you're done.
I think there should be.
I like that.
But there should be sometimes like you feel like you do a challenge and they don't overturn it.
And I'm like, you should overturn it.
You know, I feel like there should be a little oversight in that where like i don't know i i
feel like it's rigged a little bit these days they had a golf thing just for in the lpga or
women's golf they did uh these girls together they're doing a playoff on 18 holes and uh
they're driving and they she was driving in a car because that's what they did they
came in the car back to the t-box and then someone was like, you got to get off the fairway.
They told her to get off the fairway.
She drives, the lady's driving through and then she holds the rope up as they drive through and then she lets it go and it breaks her driver.
And so then she has to hit a three wood and the other girl hits a driver and the other girl wins with an eagle because there's a par five.
And the other girl couldn't get there in two because she had a three wood.
And that was the moment.
She shouldn't have been driving on the fairway though.
Well,
but they,
they do.
It's,
that was a moment.
I don't know anything about it.
It's uncommon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's uncommon,
but it's,
it's,
uh,
and there,
you know,
it's like,
that's a moment that you're like,
there's no way to even think about what's about to happen.
Like even when she's holding that rope,
everybody's like,
Oh,
she should have held it longer.
You're like, you can't
think I'm about to drop it and break my
drive. I can't believe nobody has an extra
driver out there. Well, you're not
allowed to do it. It's the rules.
You couldn't do it. Seems like the rules are out the window
at this point. So the rule, if you break a
driver, if an audience
member breaks your driver, you got a
too bad. I've seen it
before where the golfer
will break their putter now they have to putt with a with an iron well i agree with that if
you're breaking your own clubs out there yeah that's your bad that's no no i yeah i think if
it's a club malfunction you're allowed to do it but i mean breaking it you just broke it with the
rope you didn't there's no malfunction i mean and i don't know if they would have had they should have probably been like it's one of those that you
just feel so bad that you want to go like we're gonna let her use the driver you go you make that
other girl like you can only use your three wood like this was like our fault you know but i don't
know it is but the rules are the rules and you you know it's like you can't get too much into it
i like this challenge rule you know what I also – a rule thing?
I hate when they don't call pass interference,
and I believe pass interference happens,
and there's no way to challenge that because you can't challenge a no call.
I don't like that.
I feel like that's how – that's why I think –
I don't think the game is rigged in the sense that you come
out and you go, this is what's going to happen.
I feel like the refs though can
sway a game. Oh, sure.
I thought you were saying your role is that you should be
able to, you're like, sometimes I watch it and
I think it's a bad secret. I'd like to be able
to. But what if you did the challenge
thing and you said you can challenge whatever you want to challenge.
Yeah. You can challenge a no call. You can challenge
a spot of the ball.
You get whatever the time is.
They look at it real fast.
I mean, they're watching up there at the top.
You challenge them to go, what are we looking for?
Yeah.
And you can tell them, I think there was a holding on that.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's really interesting.
I like this.
This is not a rule, but I would like this to happen.
Like sportscasters that get real, like they're real cocky and they're like, this is what's going to happen in this game. This is what's going to happen like sports casters that get real like they're real cocky and
they're like this is what's going to happen in this game this is what's going to happen in this
game i think after all those games that week all those guys come back in and you have to you know
they get like shamed for where they were wrong i think the internet does that to a lot of yeah
the refs i feel bad refs are the analysts the analyst oh yeah oh i could can see the analysts because they sometimes say stuff that you're just like, I can't believe
you said it.
Yeah.
But-
I think-
Yeah.
Sometimes they say stuff and you're like, how do you not see that?
And then I'm like, they might not have a TV up there.
Yeah.
And you know, like there's-
Not even those guys.
I mean like the Stephen A. Smiths.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Whatever you call those guys.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. They go- Well, they get trashed in the court of public opinion. Yeah. All the time. I Smiths. Yeah. Whatever you call those guys. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they go.
Well, they get trashed in the court of public opinion.
Yeah.
All the time.
I mean, not stop.
And I'm not calling out him specifically, but.
Who do you want to hold their feet to the fire?
Like the government?
No, no.
Just, I don't know.
Fans, maybe just coaches.
You're like, maybe the government could do something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Make my life easier.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That my life easier. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was, yeah.
I mean, you know, get Joe Biden to come down and explain to him what went on.
Yeah.
One other rule that I would change.
Yeah.
When the, if someone fumbles the ball out of bounds, then the ball, you keep the ball right there where it goes out of bounds.
Right.
Mm-hmm.
So if you fumble at the one-inch line,
you still get the ball on the one-inch line.
Right.
But if you fumble an inch forward and it goes through the end zone,
the other team gets the ball on the 20, correct?
It'd be a touchback, right?
Yeah.
And they would get it.
It just seems like that's such a drastic difference
for sometimes just a small...
Hold on to the ball, you know what I mean?
I feel like if a team fumbles through the end zone,
they should get to keep the ball, but maybe back them up to the 20.
But it seems like it's drastic that if you can fumble out of bounds,
you get to keep it.
But if you fumble and it goes in the end zone, it goes out of bounds,
the other team gets it.
How many times did you see this happen?
I mean, a lot.
No.
I support it.
Fumbling through an end zone?
He's been in the fantasy league for 28 years.
There's not –
I think it's a rule that it's not –
this thing's not happening.
I mean, it happens every year, though.
It's not like it never happens.
It's not like a perfect game in baseball.
There's a few times a year that teams fumble,
and then it's a touchback.
I just feel like it's just a drastic –
Yeah, I get that it's drastic.
I don't think it's that big.
I think if the referee gets in the way and ruins a play,
that you should call a penalty on the referee.
You hate the refs.
I do.
Well, that's like, they'll be in the way and they get run over.
And it's like, oh, you ruined that play.
They're part of the field.
Yeah.
People use them as screens.
Yeah.
But the referee, you're trashing a guy that's making the least part of the field. Yeah. People use them as screens. Yeah. I don't, but the referee,
you got to really,
you're trashing a guy
that's making
the least amount of money
out there.
Not in college.
I'm talking about NFL.
NFL.
NFL.
But even in college,
they're don't,
what are they doing?
Donating their time?
Or it's like,
they're still not,
you got to,
there's got to be some kind of,
I think baseball's got
an umpire problem right now. I can see complaining about baseball umpires, they're still not. There's got to be some kind of... I think baseball's got an umpire problem right now.
I can see complaining about baseball umpires
because it seems like they're making it about them on purpose.
So that has a feeling of that.
But I always just feel bad for the refs
because you're like, I mean, it's an insane job.
I agree.
I don't feel bad for them.
$57,000.
Why would you even do it?
Median salary for a football ref in the NCAA, $57,000. Why would you even do it? Median salary for a football ref in the NCAA, $57,000.
Why would you even do it?
Why would you?
I mean, it's like, I'm just saying that's a lot of money,
but why would you even put yourself through?
I mean, there's a chance someone's going to come burn your house down
if the game is big enough.
Don't mess up.
Yeah.
But that's the average.
So some people are making more.
But I think maybe you try to work your way up. NFL refs make $200,000 a year the average. So some people are making more. But I think maybe you try to work your way up.
NFL refs make $200,000 a year on average.
Yeah, just to travel around and watch football.
Best seats in the house.
You're right there on the field.
I think the goalpost should be moved back to the inline.
That's crazy.
Widened.
Crazy they used to do that.
Yeah.
Do you?
No.
But it is crazy that they used to do that.
They do it
In CFL
CFL now
But NFL did it
Up until 1974
And
The only reason
They pushed it
Finally pushed it back
Is because there were
So many field goals
They were like
We got to try
And encourage people
To score more touchdowns
So they pushed it back
But yeah
And that's 10 yards
That means You know If you're hitting A 50 yarder and if it's up there, that 50 yarder becomes, you're kicking it from literally the 50 yard line.
Yes.
And then the, I mean, they, there's been 60 yards.
So that means someone could try to kick a field goal from the 40, their, their own 40.
Wow.
Yeah.
That'd be pretty crazy. Yeah, dude. This is a funny story. Transmit 40. Wow. Yeah. That'd be pretty crazy.
Yeah, dude.
This is a funny story.
Transmitters and helmets.
So it started in the NFL officially in 1994, but back in the 50s, Paul Brown, who was coach
of the Browns.
That's where the Browns came from?
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
I think it was just the same name.
Oh,
okay.
I want to call it the Browns.
And he goes,
I know I'm not what you think.
Yeah.
I swear to you.
It's not what you think.
He experimented on his own and started putting radio transmitter.
He didn't tell anybody in his quarterback's helmet.
And then people started noticing that they're not calling in signals anymore that you
know somehow the the quarterback's getting it so and he's got a big antenna yeah and for some
reason he just looks it's like you ever watch that quarterback i mean like right before the
he just gets in a it's like a trance like he's just like
and then he talks to the team he He sits there quietly for 30 seconds.
Watch it.
30 seconds.
He goes.
And then he tells the team what's going on.
That's a weird way to communicate.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah, it's like telepathy.
Yeah.
So he started doing it on his own.
And what year was that?
I think this was in the 50s.
Wow.
How did he do that?
Yeah.
How big was his helmet? I think we had in the 50s. Wow. How did he do that? Yeah. How big was his helmet?
I think we had all kinds of Soviet spy technology back then.
They didn't see the cord that was going in the front.
Yeah.
But people started figuring it out.
He runs like a dog.
He goes so far.
His helmet jerks back.
It's an orange extension cord.
Yeah.
So he finally just admitted he was
doing it. They're getting ready to play the Giants at Yankee
Stadium and he warned because they were trying to jam
the signals these other teams were.
If you do that, it's an FCC
violation, $10,000 fine.
Wow. To jam the signal? I think he just
told them that, just tried to warn them.
So the Giants said, alright. They didn't
jam it. They just found a way to listen in.
So they just listened in to his frequency and knew all the plays that they were running.
And after that, the NFL commissioner just said, we got to stop this.
So we outlawed.
I wonder, did they beat them pretty easily?
21 to 9.
Not as bad as you might think.
Did the Giants beat them 21 to 9?
Yeah.
That was a high scoring game back then.
They do it now, right?
Yeah.
Since 1994, the NFL's had it in quarterback's helmets.
Yeah, and they can just talk to them.
I'd love to put a helmet on and hear what it is.
I don't really know what it is.
I love, dude.
NFL mic'd up moments are so great.
Did you see that one that went viral of Aaron Rodgers in the preseason game?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, where's the mic, though?
Well, I mean.
It's just in the.
The earpiece?
The earpiece is like built into the helmet.
Yeah, they can't talk to the coach, but the coach just talks to his.
Oh, it's not two-way?
It's like a baby monitor, huh?
Yeah, I don't think the quarterback's talking back to him.
I thought they could at least go, yes, sir.
No, I think that's when they do that.
They look and they're like.
Because they're trying to hear. And he goes, all right, run the blah, yes, sir. I think that's when they do that. They look and they're like, because they're trying to hear.
And he goes, all right, run the blah, blah.
And isn't there a guy on defense that also has it?
I'm sure they're all talking.
They all got stuff going on.
What if you're like the one guy that doesn't have the ear?
And they're like, I don't even tell him.
It's not worth it.
I don't think they all have it, do they?
I thought it was just like the quarterback
and maybe the middle linebacker
Who's calling the defensive plays
Or something
I've never played at a level
Where you had that
Do they have it now in college?
Run in the play
They have it in college too
Maybe
I don't know
They gotta get off
And talk to them on the phone
When they get on the sideline
I thought you would know all this Aaron
A little disappointed
I didn't play
I didn't play D1 football
I wanted to focus on my studies
Alright
Lambeau Leap Started in 1993 Yeah Alright I didn't play D1 football. I wanted to focus on my studies. All right.
Lambo Leap started in 1993.
Yeah.
All right.
What's that?
You don't know what the Lambo Leap is?
No.
Aren't you glad I brought it up?
Yeah.
I mean, he doesn't know anything.
Well, I don't know all these historical things. I mean, it's shocking that he's into sports.
These things don't mean anything to me, the Lambeau leap. Do you know what Lambeau
Field is? Yeah, that's the Packers.
Right. The Lambeau leap is when they
jump into the crowd after they score
a touchdown. That's called the Lambeau leap. You've never seen that?
No. I mean, I've seen them jump. It seems
too much to me. To give it a name,
it's like, well, just score touchdowns
like it is your job. You know what I mean?
You don't need to have a thing. Act like
you've been there before. Right. You don't need to have a thing. Act like you've been there before. Right.
You don't need to leap into the crowd and the fans now have to hold you up.
Yeah.
You're complaining about something that began 30 years ago?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know what?
Like it's new?
Yeah.
I'll tell you, this game's changed.
Let me tell you something.
You were seven when they invented this?
Let me tell you something, man. When I was young-
You see people on the court or the field and they're doing like this to the crowd and it's like, well, we've already bought a ticket.
Yeah.
Why don't you just do, and we'll cheer when you do something cheerworthy.
You know what I mean?
Don't tell us when to cheer.
Yeah.
You know?
I see comics do it sometimes too, though, do like this.
And it's like, well, give them something to cheer about.
You know what I mean?
Don't be like, cheer for me.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
Do you know what spiking the football is?
I do know what that is, yeah.
So that started in the 1960s.
A guy named Homer Jones scored a touchdown.
He was about to throw the ball in the stands, which was, I guess, tradition back then.
But then he remembered that Commissioner Pete Rosell recently banned that.
So the last minute he tried to stop himself and the ball went into the ground
and people liked it.
Dusty, go control your baby.
Oh, yeah.
Sorry about that.
Is that your son?
I guess so.
I don't.
Can you not recognize a cry?
No, I think I could, but I can't hear it that well.
Okay.
Yeah.
Do you even recognize a cry? No, I think I could, but I can't hear it that well. Do you even know your son?
If he's defensive at all, that's a fight, right?
Oh, so you can't recognize your kids?
I know my son. You can't even know who you are?
Punch me in the face.
Well, anyway, that's how the spike started.
And people liked it.
Yeah, people liked it.
You're not allowed to spike the ball now, though, right?
No.
No, you can't. Not in college. NFL, you can it. Yeah, people liked it. You're not allowed to spike the ball now, though, right? No. No, you can't.
Not in college.
NFL, you can't.
Yeah.
For a while, NFL, I think it was the no fun league.
And they outlawed any celebration.
I always thought if I was a running back, I would throw all my touchdowns.
I would throw them in the stands and let someone take them.
Be like.
Just nailing people.
We don't want this.
Take it back. It's everyone you score, you throw, be like just nailing people. Well, I don't want this. No, but it's,
it's everyone you score,
you throw it,
give it to a fan.
Yeah.
And you just go,
it's about like this football doesn't mean anything to me.
It's a fun part of baseball.
You see,
cause there's so many,
so they throw so many balls.
Yeah.
In the stands.
And it's fun to,
you know,
you find a kid.
I bet it's fun for the players.
Well,
Cam Newton used to do that.
He would run up and find a kid.
Hand it to him.
Yeah.
Scam Newton.
Yeah.
That's your name for him.
I always thought, like, I was like, I would sometimes think about this dream.
It's like if you're a running back in the NFL and you score touchdowns,
you throw every touchdown ball in the stands.
At the end of your career, you see how many of those people you can find.
Take a picture with all of them. Yeah. And they all stand there holding the ball and it's all these
people that's fine you've really put some thought into it and ask them it's only like four yeah he
goes i call it nah he's he was available because he's just one guy what if you're like uh you still
have the ball they're like ah yeah i sold it yeah but it's almost like you still have the ball? They're like, ah. Yeah, I sold it.
But it's almost like you would have to go like,
I would be okay with whatever they did with the ball.
The idea of it is you go, I'm getting –
because I think about this all the time.
And I think like, so what if you retire?
Say you're the most touchdowns ever and all this,
so they want something for the thing.
You're like, well, I'll give you my uniform.
You could keep a uniform.
There's a million things that you could kind of keep.
Maybe you keep, I could even see keeping the last one.
If you think it's, or one, just being like, this is the one.
So we're going to hold on to that one.
But all the other ones have been given away.
I could see some stuff, but it's like, it's not, you know,
it's like you just, you're lucky to,
you worked hard. You're lucky to be in that situation. And then you just, you're always throwing. And then you're like, you're, you're the, you're the moment. So what do you need the
ball for? You know, you're the moment. It's a lot of balls in one game though.
I always think that too, but you're allowed to throw them in the stands.
Super bowl touchdown. I would keep that ball.
Yeah.
You're allowed to throw the ball in the stands.
So they can do that.
Because I always think that too, it could be wasteful.
Is it considered wasteful to be like, we got to keep making.
I mean, I don't know how many balls they have.
I mean, footballs are for sale and just in general.
That's job creation.
There's a ton of footballs.
Job creation. A's job creation. There's a ton of football. Job creation.
A ton.
Yeah.
Maybe people in football factories are like, keep throwing them out.
Right, right, right.
What about the jersey swap?
Would that be fun?
I think that would be like, dude, I don't want to take this off right now.
Yeah.
I would do it probably once and then I would say, I'm not going to, I can't take it off.
What's the jersey swap?
That's when players will give each other their jerseys after games.
Okay.
It's probably a fun thing.
Would you ever shirt swap comics after shows?
Anything like that?
Depends on the comic.
If you're holding a towel up there, no.
That's a great point.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't want to have to separate that i don't put this in a plastic bag to get it home and have to drive home with no shirt on
so the cheesehead started when a guy was cutting up his mom's couch he took the foam made a hat
out of it wore to a brewer's game uh player for the Brewers, Rick Manning, saw it,
wore it in the dugout just for fun. It became this big novelty.
The guy eventually did that, who created a company and sold millions
and millions of cheeseheads. Just sold it to the Green Bay Packers this year.
That company. Now that's some good capitalism right there. You're talking about rags to riches.
He was digging foam out of his mom's couch.
Yeah.
And he sold his company to the Green Bay Packers.
How about it?
That's a guy.
Fomation.
It's an author space.
And he goes, I like the guy that invented the pet rock.
Yeah.
He made a million dollars.
I did want to show real fast before we go the fantasy football, Nate Land Fantasy Football League.
I thought you were about to show from yours.
No, no.
If you guys want to follow my league,
that's been for 20 years with a bunch of 50-year-old men.
There's a few differences in the Nate Land League.
Oh, there is a league.
Yeah.
See, I like this.
Yeah, so just these names.
Dad Gummett.
Oh, wow.
Horses with no names.

The Gaspers.
The Gaspers.
What's the Gaspers from?
Because I gasp.

Isaac Valk.
This is only one of the leagues.
So we've got another league called Dusty Town. I'd like to see some names.
Yeah, we got Team Town,
Trailer Park Tornado.
A lot of teams available.
That's what I'm saying.
Demon Slayers.
I was going to say Dusty Town is open for business.
The No Pork Players.
That's a lot of fun.
We've got a Batesville League.
I got a few openings there.
They got.
Batesville League.
Four-team league.
Looks like a show.
There's a chance Batesville was started by Brian.
Oh, yeah.
The Deadly Squirrels, according to this, the Nosebleed Seats.
Yeah.
That's very funny.
Is there an airline team?
I think so.
Let's see what's going on.
I think you sent me the wrong league.
Yeah, that's okay.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I feel bad.
I think there's two nightland leagues.
Yeah, you sent me the wrong league.
That's okay.
Okay.
Well, I'm sorry to the guys that we didn't get to show.
That's all good.
Yeah.
Well, there's an airline.
Yeah.
It was very fun.
Yeah. Good luck to the Gaspers. Don't worry. Good luck. I there's an Aaron laying in there. Yeah. It was very fun. Yeah.
Good luck to the Gaspers.
I'm rooting for the Gaspers.
You look worried. Sky's the limit.
Folks, Gaspers. What's sky's the limit?
Is that something you say? I don't get that.
I don't know. I might. I've never said that.
I don't believe it.
You can't go past the sky.
Well, maybe that's what
Oh, yeah. That is it. You just called it out. You can't go past the sky Well maybe that's what that's about Oh yeah That is it
You just called it out
