Hello folks and hey bear, welcome to the Nate Land Podcast. I'm Nate Bargetzi, I'm Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, Dusty Slick.
All right, we're here. We're doing it. Pre-recorded one, just in case.
Just in case what?
I just always say it. I like everybody being on the know, you know.
Let people know something could go
down yeah i mean just in case could change yeah if i died this weekend how quickly would you
replace me on this podcast i mean i already got a guy waiting so you don't even take a week off
no he already is there. I would tell him.
It's more about like, when is he going to pass away?
I would say two weeks.
I'd go, I'd tell him, give it two weeks.
I go, yeah.
You know, and then we're.
Two week notice.
You'll call him.
He'll say, so Bates is out.
You're like, no, actually it was Aaron.
Yeah.
Believe it or not.
Yeah.
He goes.
It's a young guy.
No, no, it would. We could never it or not. Yeah. He goes, it's a young guy. Uh, no,
no,
it would,
we could never replace you.
We would,
uh, just do it without you.
Not Mr.
Beat.
Uh,
yeah.
But I think it's like,
if,
you know,
I don't know.
I just like people know that's been pretty,
you know,
cause what if it's something crazy in the news or crazy, like if you know i don't know i just like people know that's been pretty you know because what if it's something crazy in the news or crazy like you know something happened that
you're like i can't believe they're not addressing this well this comes out the week of september 11th
so okay there you go well that okay yeah the guy that planned it already has a idea people don't remember 9-11
they're supposed to
they're never supposed to forget
kids
they just don't you know
but it's like you know I know it's very serious
but it's like every year
it's like feel like people gotta like share stories
and they gotta and it's like the same
you know it's the same story
they're sharing they're like this is I was in my classroom and i found out about it
and well that's a pretty weak story yeah i like the actual ones people that save people yeah
if the story is i heard about it no if you were actually connected to it and involved right
yeah you're good to share your story the rest of your life but everybody kind of likes to talk about where they were i know big things but that's how big of a thing it was yeah
how many things have happened in y'all's life where you remember where you were you remember
when you found out about it how many i think there's I mean, he goes, whatever.
JFK.
I think the better question might be, what was the first news event you remember? Yeah, well, 9-11 is for me.
I don't even think anything happened before that in my life.
I would remember Princess Di.
Princess Di, Oklahoma City bombing.
I don't know if I could tell you where I was at. I remember that, but I don't know if I could tell you where I was at.
I remember that, but I don't know if I could tell you where I was at.
Princess Di, I could tell you where I was at.
And then the shuttle launch, I mean, I imagine, but I think I was in kindergarten or first grade, so I don't really remember if, you know.
You were seven when that happened.
Yeah.
So I don't remember.
Everybody's like, oh, we went in and we watched it on TV.
You probably covered it.
And at Channel 5.
Were you watching that live, Brian?
I was.
No, I was at.
It was a snow day.
So we were out of school.
Snowbird.
And.
Snowbird was around then.
Still around, I think.
Is he?
I don't know.
I think he got laid off.
Who's Snowbird?
He's the mascot for Channel 4 News.
Oh, okay.
He was always fun when he came out.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Anyway, I think I was over at my cousin's house, and her mom came in and said,
come in here.
Something just happened.
So I don't think I saw it live.
I think I saw right after tell you what snowbird looks like a mascot that uh that would not be around these
days anymore yeah you know what i mean it looks like a canceled mascot yeah it's a it's a pink
but penguin oh from that angle it just looks it's a penguin okay no because yeah but it's it's it's
not a good uh probably stand up on your own it's It's not a good Probably stand up
On your own
It's a bad looking mascot
Like they should
They did too much white
In the
The middle
Like they should have had
A little more
Like it's
Cause it really is
More of a circle
It's not obvious
It's a penguin
From this angle
Yes
It looks like they combined
Big Bird and Elmo
Together
And then messed up the colors.
That was their guy.
For Channel 4.
Now I went for Channel 5.
Yeah.
So you hated Snowbird.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Well.
That's what Bates Group wanted to be.
We had Newshound.
Snowbird.
Newshound?
Yeah.
Newshound 5.
Newshound.
All right.
Not as big as Snowbird.
Snowbird was all the rage. The Ronald McDonald of Nashville. Can't wait to see Newshound. Not as big as Snowbird. Snowbird was all the rage.
The Ronald McDonald of Nashville.
Can't wait to see Newshound.
Newshound.
They don't even have pictures of him.
I got a Newshound phone somewhere.
Yeah, he didn't last.
Newshound phone?
Mm-hmm.
Like a house phone?
Mm-hmm.
It was like a little stand.
Yeah.
Oh, here's Newshound.
Newshound looks nice.
Oh, yeah, You have that phone.
Does it bark when people call?
Go.
I'll be honest with you.
No one answers it much because people don't listen to news like they did.
So it's not ringing.
Let's just say it's not ringing.
No.
I think I bet there's a big, I bet your local news is going to slowly make a strong.
You think?
Yep.
Strong what?
If they come back.
Return.
If they went and did their own, if they went and did their truly, like just separate themselves from whatever the channel they're on and just be like, we're for you.
And then really.
We're for you.
And then really.
Is it like Clear Channel though with radio where like, you know, Clear Channel seems to like own all the radio stations so they control what the content is.
Is it news organization?
Because, you know, that clip, everybody shared the clip where it seemed like all these local news organizations were saying the exact same thing.
Yes.
They're all reading the same.
Yeah.
Saying like that's got to stop.
Yeah. So the first person that doesn't do that would bring local news Yes. Yeah. They're all reading the same. Yeah. Saying like, that's got to stop. Yeah.
So the first person
that doesn't do that
would bring local news back.
Yeah.
The first channel
that would let them do that.
We should just start a,
like a local news thing.
We'll just,
like Nateland News.
Yeah.
You know,
because they have
Nash Severe Weather X,
the Twitter app.
Yeah.
And it's like,
I go to that before I go to the Weather Channel every time.
Always.
Yeah, always.
I mean, I never go to the Weather Channel.
I'm a Patreon supporter.
Are you?
Yeah.
Okay.
Appreciate that.
Well, you should.
Yeah, the Weather Channel is not going to help you with local news.
Well, you know what I mean.
Anything to get local weather.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I think that Nashville Severe one is probably, it's more of today.
That's it.
Do you have to have Twitter for it?
I think you can go to YouTube.
They put it on.
They live stream on everything,
but Twitter is where they post constant updates.
Yeah.
See,
that's the thing is like you want to go.
I wish they could,
you could,
you know,
you almost wish everybody had an app,
I guess.
I guess maybe,
you know, I would. I guess maybe not.
I would say that, then I'd go back to it.
I wish they would make something where everybody could just comment on the... I got 50 apps, and I go,
you want me to tell you what they should come up with?
In 20 years, I'll say this.
A thing where everybody...
Just one app.
One app, and all of you can talk on that.
You just have accounts.
That's where we'd be if I ran the world.
We'd be right back to twitter in 20 years right now i'd be like it's a lot now yeah but i i think local news does basically just do its own thing there was one company that owned a lot
of stations and they would send down but when i worked at tv news that nobody was telling us what
to say.
Yeah, well, you know,
you don't know what you're talking about.
You don't know
what we're talking about?
I said, you don't know
what you're talking about.
Oh, okay.
I was hoping
the guy who worked
in TV news for 20 years.
That was the joke.
That's called,
yeah, it's comedy.
Hey, I'll write it down
and spell it for you.
I don't know
if you've ever read it.
Well, in our case,
C-O-M-E-D-Y.
Comedy.
That's how.
Hold on.
Underline it in case you're not getting it.
Double underline it.
A funny joke would have been for us never to go to you about the channel.
You have the real expertise.
So you have the editorial control over stuff.
Yes.
Yeah.
All right.
We got work going to me.
So I thought, well, before we move on, maybe I should mention.
Kind of.
I know.
Then I noticed.
You should have framed it like news.
Let's go to Brian.
You stack the paper.
What's written on the anchor?
Do they actually have stuff on the paper right there?
Or is it more of a prop?
No, they're scripts in case the teleprompter goes down.
Oh, it's a backup for the teleprompter.
That's all it is.
But I think back then.
But they stack it like they're looking at numbers. You know what what i mean i think back then it was individual more than it is now
i agree with you like your day it would have been that's when local news was on the top that all it
was was local news like a regular news station couldn't do it and then now it's like the other
big news stations came along and so then the local news, well, we just got to do what they're doing.
And that's the problem.
You should be doing your own thing.
Yeah.
I don't know why you feel that way.
I think everybody feels that way.
You feel that way?
Yeah.
I mean, I think it would be nice if, you know, you were getting local news and just, I don't know, better stuff.
I just feel like whenever you watch
the news, it's just like one or
two little stories here and there. It's like, give us
some heat.
You know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
I think there should be. We could do
an 8-Land News and have a dusty
segment to go.
People can go like, hey, you can go listen to this.
You not go listen to this.
We're not, we're in our, we're just doing a bit.
Yeah.
We're talking about it.
I would say you could do it in the news just to go like what he says.
I just like having a different thought out there.
I don't know what he's going to say.
Yeah.
Deliver the news and then you could go to me for what he's going to say. Yeah. Deliver the news.
And then you could go to me for another take.
Yes.
Yeah.
Let's go to dusty for his take.
And you're like,
you don't,
you,
what if you just one take is you just going,
I wouldn't come to me.
Yeah.
Not for this one.
Yeah.
And we go,
all right.
Uh,
that was dusty over there for his take.
Uh, we're not going to do them tonight. Uh, all right. That was Dusty over there for his take.
We're not going to do him tonight.
Next up, we're going to go to Brian.
Yeah.
I'm the one that was on the news.
We like to have fun here. Yeah, we're having a good time.
We are having a good time.
Yeah, out of the gate.
Feels like we haven't even started recording.
I,
yeah,
so we were,
it doesn't matter
where we were
because we were
pre-recorded.
I was in North Charleston.
How'd it go?
Great.
Caught me at the Sparrow.
Good crowd.
Thanks for everybody
coming out.
Awesome.
Yeah.
Thanks, man.
Did you see anybody
that knew me in there
from Charleston?
Yeah. What was that
I was just doing it too
But you weren't even
Really stretching
Yeah
That was a week
You didn't
You weren't even
Thinking about it
I just seemed like
You guys were doing it
And I wanted to get in
Yeah
Everyone from Hyman's
Came out
Oh good
Yeah
Awesome
It's cool
Sticky fingers Yeah Sticky fingers close You know that Yeah, everyone from Hyman's came out. Oh, good. Yeah. Awesome. It's cool.
Sticky fingers.
Yeah.
Sticky fingers close.
You know that?
That's too bad.
Really messed up that joke that I don't do it anymore, so it's okay.
Yeah.
Sad day, though.
Anybody else?
No.
Want to jump in there?
No.
A little TMZ, let people know.
Nothing bad. I was in California. I was in California. A little TMZ, let people know. Nothing bad.
I was in California.
I was in California.
Where are you at?
Bakersfield.
Oh, yeah. Pleasanton.
When are you there?
September 5th, 6th?
8th and 9th.
Oh.
That weekend.
Going to Yosemite, too.
Oh, 8th and 9th.
Which I'm pretty excited about.
Never been.
I was at the Greek.
Wow.
So you...
San Diego, Tucson.
Bigger show than mine?
No.
Not for where we're at in our careers.
I think you're exactly where you should be and I'm exactly where I should be.
They're proportional.
They're proportional.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's exactly.
It's where we should be.
So we're going to start with the comments. Evan Johnson,
I've realized this is a motivational podcast. You are living your dreams and having a great
time doing it. So I decided to take your subliminal motivational speeches and apply
myself to my dreams. My birthday was on a Tuesday and I received a phone call that I've received a firefighter slash paramedic job,
my dream job.
I've been working a long time for this position and I want to celebrate my favorite group
of famous people, including Bran Flakes.
Thanks for all the laughs and motivation.
Wow.
Thank you.
Congrats to you, Evan.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
I don't understand.
He got it.
I don't understand what happened.
He's a firefighter.
He got his dream job after seeing us pursue our dream job.
Oh, okay.
He decided to take our motivational speeches and applied himself to his dreams.
Yeah.
Okay.
So he went and got the job he wanted.
Yeah.
All right.
I thought somehow he was subliminally trying to channel his dreams, and then all of a sudden
he got a phone call call and they were like,
you're a firefighter now.
And he's like, I didn't even apply for this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, Evan might not have applied for this.
And so let's hope Evan is a legit firefighter.
He got drafted.
We're very excited for Evan, but there's a chance if you see Evan at your fire,
you might be like, oh boy, I know who
this guy is.
And he did not do training.
He just likes it.
He just dreamed it up.
He just dreamed it up.
And he's, if you see one guy running with one bucket back and forth from the truck,
that's Evan.
And they go, Evan got a hose.
And he goes, this is what I've always dreamed.
And he just does it. And then he's like cutting shirts off. And they're like, that, we got a hose. And Evan just goes. And he goes, this is what I've always dreamed. And he just does it.
And then he's like cutting shirts off.
And they're like, that guy's not even hurt.
And he's like, bear me.
He's doing both.
He's like, this is my dream.
He's doing the clear stuff.
He's doing the clear.
They go, Evan, Evan, you're not.
That's a wee.
Congrats, Evan.
But we do hope it's like that.
Yeah, we do.
That's very fun
Good for you man
Cause I thought those were
Two different jobs
Firefighter
No I think
I think paramedic
Goes with
If you're
If you're gonna fire
Any kind of like that
Paramedic kind of
Wrapped up in there
They're in cahoots
And there's always
So many people
If you're a firefighter
I mean they can't
Where are you gonna put a
Paramedic
You don't just have a guy On the, you need someone that's like do both.
Yeah.
You know, when you go to war, they have a medic.
That's also a soldier.
I mean, they're not just throwing a real doctor out there and like,
he's just got a stethoscope and the scrubs just running behind the,
in the lines behind the guy, just being like,
I don't know if I should be out here.
And they go, yeah, but it's going to get ugly,
and we might need you to do major surgery on the ground.
And you need to be ready.
You need to be ready.
Does a firefighter drive?
Everybody can see me because of my blue gown I got on.
Scrubs, yeah.
My scrubs.
And he goes, they don't got a back to them.
He goes, I was very uncomfortable when I sit down.
I go,
yeah,
I mean,
this is,
you wanted to be a doctor.
This is,
you're a doctor.
You turned it up.
You turned it up.
So a paramedic,
do they drive the ambulance?
One of them does,
I guess.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
You would have,
but I think,
yeah,
I think his job is to like,
I think I could do that
as a paramedic.
I'd be like,
let me drive the ambulance
i don't know if i want to be back in the weeds of it yeah that would be fun to just drive
it's unclear what exactly this position is he might just fix the vehicles for these two you
know what i mean no he's no no one's gonna he's a fight no one says i received a firefighter
slash paramedic job that could mean could mean you work dispatch or something.
Why would you?
No one would word it like that.
Why would you crush his dreams?
No, I'm not crushing his dreams.
I'm trying to expand our idea of what his dream is to accommodate whatever it happens.
I received a job of being a police officer.
Oh, my gosh, dude.
So you're a police officer?
I worked.
I'm in the front.
When you come in, one that doesn't get a gun. So you're're a police officer? I work the, I'm in the front. When you come in, one that doesn't get a gun, you're like, so you're not a police officer?
No.
I work for the police.
Police.
Yeah, exactly right.
No, that's, he's a firefighter.
I'm involved in policing.
He's a firefighter.
Okay.
And he's even better at everything that he's, he probably threw in, I'll be a paramedic too.
Just because he could.
He goes.
And that's probably what sent him on the top, set resumes down.
And indeed. Is that on? Yeah. He goes. And that's probably what sent him on the top. Set resumes down. And Indeed.
Is that on?
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Wow.

Any chance I get, people are looking at the moon.
I go, pretty up there, but we never landed on it.
Who was it this weekend?
Was it Russia that sent a capsule there and it crashed into the moon?
Oh, I didn't see that.
I think it was Russia.
It's pretty far away.
They missed the landing.
Yeah.
Amazing.
I mean, they hit it, but they...
Why is Russia worried
about the moon right now?
I don't know.
Maybe it wasn't Russia.
I feel like it was Russia.
Yeah, I feel like they're
spinning a lot of plates
at the moment.
They're trying to go to the moon.
I think chances are
they just said,
hey, we crashed on the moon.
This is Dusty's news segment. new segment yeah yeah what if they go
uh to putin they go we sent something to the moon he's like what because who are you because we're
like you're we're your nasa yeah you know yeah is that what do they call them they go they're
called cosmonauts i don't't know what the organization's called.
Who even knows that answer?
You knew that?
Yeah.
Yuri Gagarin.
Well, you covered it, probably, the space race.
You're interning for Walter Cronkite. That joke was earlier and still relevant today.
It was a good five minutes ago.
Joe Good was earlier and still relevant today.
It was a good five minutes ago.
Uh,
Reg Griffin,
Reg,
Reg,
probably Reg.
Yeah.
Reg Griffin.
I like that better than Reginald.
Yeah.
I did not like Reg Griffin.
Reg Griffin.
It's a bit much. That's a,
I did not care for that.
And then Reg Griffin.
I was like,
that sounds,
I actually liked that guy.
Oh,
Reg. Reg Griffin. On the reg. Yeah. On the regular. care for that and then reg griffin i was like that sounds i actually like that guy old reg
reg griffin on the reg yeah on the regular aaron how were you the first to get to that xylophone
iphone joke it's genius do you register something like that once you find it big fan in atlanta
i don't know i'm maybe not the first guy to talk about that ringtone.
Talk about playing the xylophone and that they're the ringtone is a xylophone.
That's all you got.
That's the only xylophone.
Yeah.
Anybody knows you are the only one.
Well, the stress of having that sound effect pulled up on my phone in my pocket was a lot
to deal with. And I'm glad I'm my pocket was a lot to deal with.
And I'm glad I haven't had to deal with it for a while.
Because there were shows I took my phone out and I had accidentally X'd out of where you click the sound and I quickly have to go to it.
Yeah.
And that's not fun.
Yeah, that's a real timing joke.
Yes.
Like an easy hit.
You almost want a sound cue from the booth.
Yeah. Then you you gotta trust them
then you go you just go all we had was and then you just point to the sky yeah he goes
and then everybody just roars yeah they lose your dad had a sound cue other night that was a little
little off yeah that bowling ball joke oh yeah his off. So he hadn't even dropped it yet. You already hear, going down the lane.
Yeah, yeah.
It's funnier that way.
Yeah, yeah.
Sometimes we've had it messed up because he'll do it on his belt,
and sometimes it doesn't click.
So, I mean, we've had it.
Well, that's real magic, though.
If that ball is rolling, you hear the ball rolling, and it's not rolling yet.
Yeah, that's magic.
Yeah, that's true.
Regular Griffin.
I went to high school with a kid named Random.

How do you feel about Random?
In conversation, you're like, that's Random. That's a great last name. Giles? Yeah. How do you feel about random? In conversation, you're like, that's random.

Thinking about accents
And pronunciations
Breakfast always pronounces 70
with an M and D
in the middle. 70.
70? How do you say it? 70.
70.
I don't... I certainly hear the D.
70. 70.
70. 70. 70 years old.
And in the middle, I used to be...
I used to be 70 years old. Instead in the middle, I used to be 70 years old.
Instead of three syllables,
70, he rolls
with two syllables, 70.
70.
And I can't figure out how to phonetically type out
how he says point.
That's the Lebanon accent for you.
Now you say point by point.
Point.
Let me point to that.
I don't know how to spell that either. 70. Point. Point. Let me point to that. Yeah. Point.

I got a lot.
I have a joke now where I say the word wolf probably about 35 times.
And I and your buddy thought I have to really was a wolf.
Yeah.
But I think about it.
I mean, I focus on it the whole bit because I've been called out on this podcast that I say wolf.
Wolf.
I said wolf.
Wolf.
I had a joke where I was saying, talking about deer meat.
Venison.
And I was saying venison.
What are you eating, by the way?
Well, it's for a heartburn.
And so I would.
You're the real deal, man.
Yeah.
I would... You're the real deal, man.
Yeah.
So I said, I would say, I would say venison.
And I said it for, you know, in front of thousands of people.
I did many shows.
Finally, somebody messaged me on Instagram and they were like, are you saying venison with a hard T at the end?
Like innocent with a V in front of it?
And I was like, wow, I guess I am.
I had no idea.
Venison.
Not venison. It's venison.
Venison, not venison.
There's a lot of words that I just found out
within the last few years that they're not pronounced
the same. Like what?
Like pitcher. Like a baseball
pitcher and picture.
I don't know what to say.
Oh, that's a pitcher frame. A pitcher frame? Yeah,. Oh, that's a picture frame.
Yeah.
A picture frame.
Yeah.
I would say that's a picture frame.
Picture of water,
picture,
baseball pitcher.
Well,
those are the same words.
Wow.
The,
the,
the mammal that lives in the water and a whale.
Yeah.
And the thing you draw water from to me,
that's the same.
I would say that.
I'd say both those are whale.
There's a whale out there in the well.
Okay.
There's a whale.
I looked down the well and saw a whale.
And it's doing well.
I would say it like that.
And it's doing well.
I would pronounce that as the same.
You thought they were spelled the same?
No, I thought they were pronounced the same.
Oh, that's Southern.
We pronounce them the same.
Picture and pitcher, that's the crazy we pronounce them the same. Picture and pitcher
is that's
that's the crazy one.
Okay.
That doesn't make sense,
but you guys
were just getting those.
uh,
I see a theme
going for this.
Yeah,
I don't mean to,
but
you know,
I don't know
if it was even decided
what you were going to call
so new.
What if it's a a picture of a picture?
That'd be tough.
That'd be tough.
That'd be harder.
Picture and picture.
That's a picture and picture.
Picture and picture.
Picture of a picture.
Michael McCarver, when Jesus did carpentry,
do you think he ever cut a piece of wood too short?
I think it gives interesting insight into what people think perfect actually means.
So this is.
I don't think so.
He wrote this in after a couple weeks ago.
I mentioned how I'm now watching The Chosen and how it was a little hard for me to get into it at first because they had backstories that weren't in the Bible and they really humanized Jesus.
So he's just asking, what does that mean? And I don't know. I'd say he's perfect in the sense
that he was sinless, but as far as everyday life, do you ever miss a free throw? I don't know.
Yeah. That would be a sin. I don't think he cut wood too short, though. I bet he measured twice and cut once.
Are we saying he cut a piece of wood too short to lie to his customers,
cheating them off a couple of weeks? I think he just made a mistake.
Well, did he have a – I mean, I don't know if he had a business, right?
Well, I think he had to have had some kind of –
I think he was like a carpenter.
I don't know if it was Jesus Christ carpentry. Yeah, I don't think he was.
I don't think.
I think it was very brief, very loose, very, you know, it was like a job.
I don't think he, you know, Jesus is like, yeah, I mean, I worked 15 years as a carpenter.
I think he was.
I mean, I think it was if the timeline was that long, he was a carpenter.
He was grinding it out for that long.
I mean, when did his,
when did he start hitting the road doing shows?
30.
In his thirties.
Right.
So.
He was 30.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So his dad was a carpenter.
So he could have been a family business.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's,
I'm saying.
So what did he do?
What were his twenties like?
He was cutting wood.
He was cutting wood.
Like he could have been helping his dad build stuff.
And like,
you know, yeah, I could see that. You right but i mean i i meant like i don't
think it's like it's more word of mouth yeah grinding it out like it's you know it's like
he's a carpenter and his dad's a carpenter and he's the guy there that can do carpentry stuff
yeah yeah it's his dad's his stepdad it's his his. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right.
It's his shop.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We don't need to get into the weeds of it.
Yeah.
It's an interesting family dynamic. That's for sure.
Yeah.
Paul Johnson.
We're moving from Wyoming to Murfreesboro.
Manifest destiny.
And we had a garage sale today
I'm a little weird around people
And I think I said alright
And we're having a good time
About a hundred times today
To folks in Dusty's voice
And to my wife said
What is wrong with you?
She doesn't listen to podcasts
So I couldn't really explain it to her
But we made almost enough
To tip the movers
So I'm sticking with alright
For the whole experience
Hope to see you
guys in town when we get there well welcome to murfsboro all right there it is we're having a
good time there you go welcome to the johns yeah i mean that's great i mean my wife asked me that
same question though you know what i mean what's wrong with you yeah yeah so uh You'll be easy to look up in the yellow pages. Paul Johnson.
Yeah.
Oh, who's coming up next?
Tyler Johnson.
His brother.
Oh, yeah.
They're getting in there.
The Johnsons.
I work at Dugway Proving Ground.
I don't know.
I work at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, Utah, training our nation's finest.
That's a tough sentence.
I work at Dugway Proving Ground.
Is that a city?
Maybe Dugway Proving Ground is a city.
He called it, also called it Area 52.
It's an army facility that tests biological and chemical weapons.
Okay.
I spend a lot of time in my truck and I've listened to sports radio.
Who else?
But our Ann Weber jumped on for an interview and did great.
At the end of the show, they were giving away two rounds of golf.
Whoever could answer the question, where did comedian Aaron Webber go to college?
Needless to say, I got through and won the golf rounds.
All right.
How about that?
It said Michigan State.
Yeah.
That was very nice.
He also invited you to come play with him.
Oh, did he really?
Yeah.
Oh, nice.
I'm out there in October.
Wise guys.
Comedy club.
Pretty exciting.
Tyler, let me know what your handicap is, and I'll let you know how that will go.
I'll let you know if you
want tyler might want to do it and tyler you might not want to i think you maybe we'll go
hang at the driving range i think i'm that no you might be no most people right probably
are going you know y'all have a good time y'all have a great time. Gabriel Valk.
I'm going into my 12th year of fantasy football, and I've yet to win.
This year, the last place punishment is to do 10 minutes of stand-up at an open mic night.
I'm worried based on my previous year's performance,
I could very well be the one to come in last place.
That's having to do 10 minutes of stand-up comedy, no prior experience.
For something like this, what would you suggest I do?
Just get up there and tell a funny story from my life, or I should try to write a joke? 10 minutes. No one's going to give you 10 minutes of stand-up comedy no prior experience for something like this what would you suggest i do just get up there and feel funny sort of similar i should try to write joke
10 minutes no one's gonna give you 10 minutes but it's uh so you don't worry about it you won't have
to do 10 minutes typical open mic is four or five minutes yeah so that's all you're gonna do and
just start doing it now in preparation for losing fantasy football and then by the time your friends
come and see you do your five minutes you'll be crushing it and they'll be like whoa you should have been doing this all along you're
like yeah it's my first time yeah now i heard that you recently went to open mic and took your
brother-in-law from china and he signed up and did the open mic yeah i mean what is this well
we're just gonna skip over brother-in-law from China. Well, my wife, her brother lives in China, in Beijing.
So he visited.
He's from China?
He's from Canada.
He's from Canada, but he lives in China.
Grew up there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, he lives there for like his work.
Yeah.
The way you said it made him sound Chinese.
Yeah.
You're Chinese brother.
Well, let's go to Dusty real fast.
He's got a brother-in-law from China.
I'm like, well, where does that come from?
I know.
Yeah.
Now that makes sense.
So he did an open mic and the East Room was great.
We had a lot of fun.
Had he ever done it before?
He'd never done that room before.
I know that room, but has he ever done stand-up?
Oh, he's done stand-up before.
He doesn't do it a lot.
He's just kind of hobbyist with it.
But he wanted to do a mic.
And at the mic,
I guess it had some problems
with, I don't know,
people getting mad about jokes.
So they announced
at the beginning of the show
that this is a free speech zone.
So my brother-in-law,
who's Canadian
and lives in China,
goes up and basically lectures the whole mic about how I thought the whole country was a free speech zone.
And then he proceeds to read the Constitution to people.
And they listened.
I was like, all right.
You gave a standing ovation?
Nobody's laughing right now, but they are listening.
Sometimes that's all you can ask for.
Were you reciting
the words along with him yeah i was off to the side giving him everything he says
yeah i'm behind him like kind of those couple there's a couple of creepy videos of like
looks like staffers wrote uh stuff for i don't know politicians and so they're reading yeah
but they're like one girl looks like
she's been awake for four days.
And she seems to be losing it.
I liked seeing that girl though.
Because I like seeing
someone into their job.
And that's someone that's into her job.
Totally.
So I take out
the political
aspect of it. Just look at a person into their job.
That's what made me like that girl.
Because she doesn't, nothing exists in that moment except her job, which is that speech.
And so I always kind of like, I like seeing that just because it's like, oh, that girl is going to be, she'll go very far.
Because it's something that knows, if you know how to get that into what you do then and she knew it so well
that she leaned in at one point and like corrected it seemed like that's what yeah it's like she
really knew it yeah because i mean yeah you're you got to get lucky to find some people like that
because even as a comic like i've wrote jokes with people before and I'm standing off
to the side
watching them do the joke
and I'm like going along
with them.
And if they don't do it
the right way,
I'm like,
ah, no.
You know what I mean?
Like you missed it.
Lean in.
Tell them.
Yeah.
Eric Smith.
Oh, yeah.
So that guy
you're doing less comics.
So yeah,
just tell us.
Yeah.
Tell us funny stories
tell a funny story
the very opposite
of what we said at first
what do jokes
you said write some jokes now
yeah I'd start writing
some jokes now
so you just win
by the time
if you got the nerve
to try to go do it alone
then go do it alone
yeah
keep the joke short
but I think this is a
a bit of a
misconception there
even stories have jokes in them you know what i mean so it's not like it's an either or a story
is just but for someone just starting it's like if he has a funny story it's go tell it i'll tell
you what if you think you have a funny story shave about make it a minute long yeah yeah whatever you think that story is i don't even
i don't i'm not even hearing the story i can tell you go ahead and take it down to one minute bring
it down to it like you have to tell it on an elevator yes yeah and i don't care you're like
well this one's a long one get it do an elevator that's great great advice. Yeah. Because people drag out a story.
Oh, yeah.
And then we're all tuning out.
Well, they do the best part, too,
within the first 30 seconds.
Yeah.
And then they're just,
and then they're trying to keep up with it.
And you're like,
well, there's nothing else behind it.
Yes.
So you got to just move on.
Or pick a good team.
Yeah.
Or get better at fantasy football.
Eric Smith. Eric Smith.
Eric Smith.
So I made several comments and I've yet to have any of them read on the show.
I have a new conspiracy theory that Brattleboro Bates and the boys will not read my comments because my name is too boring and easy for Nate to say.
Eric Smith.
True.
Eric Smith.
I don't feel like those two combined feel different to me eric smith i
don't i don't i don't think of an eric going with a smith no me either yeah like so it makes it kind
of different it's like eric smith like that's what i would say like i was going in a completely
different direction yeah put a question mark at the end er Eric Smith? Yeah, and now you got a unique name.
He does, yeah, he does.
Dusty Slay?
Dusty Slay?
Eric Smith?
Now, you're going to, there's a built-in question mark to this next name.
Jerry Richendatter?
Can I answer Eric's question?
I can, oh, go ahead.
It wasn't even a question.
I forgot you were on it.
Oh.
Go ahead.
That's not true.
Okay, go ahead.
What was the question?
About him not,
about me picking names that are hard for you
and not picking easy names.
But just in point of fact,
there was no question
in that comment.
It was just,
he was making a comment.
Yeah.
The real truth is that
Brian will sometimes
pick Eric's comments to read
and then we as a group decide that they're not good enough to be read.
That's true.
We eliminate that.
I'll tell you what, Eric, this is the last comment you'll ever get read.
That's for sure.
I have a whole system that I could break down if anyone ever cares.
Maybe a side podcast.
Well, I mean, do you want them to know the system?
Because then they'll all try to repeat it.
Yeah.
But let me give you some basics pointers.
What Nate just said about the joke.
Cut it down.
I mean, first of all, don't try to be funny.
If you've got a funny story, by all means, share it.
But don't insert a lot of jokes and all that stuff.
A lot of people just like to funny it up.
You don't need that.
You've got a funny story.
Share it.
Try to keep it tight.
I will edit it down a lot if I can to try to fit it,
fit it on here.
I usually start with first comments,
usually a positive about last week's episode.
I usually mention the title in it.
So Nate can remember what we talked about last week.
Do that for Nate.
Pretty good work right there
second one then we get a little funny maybe something they didn't like about the podcast
something we got wrong i try to find a comment about all four of us so we can all kind of
get involved comment in a little bit and then these like this one where we're taping ahead of
time i got a vault of just comments that i've just been saving so
some of these might have been from six months ago that they submitted um but hey maybe you got one
out there it's still gonna it's still gonna happen just hadn't got them in the bank got them in the
bank ready to go yeah your system got a system yeah that was the short version of explaining
that was the short version i got a lot more. Is there a lot more, Pharrell?
I don't look at names.
Oh.
I don't even pay attention to names.
Let's call it the breakfast system.
That's interesting.
So you don't look at names, you just read the comments.
Yeah, because I don't want to.
So when some people have gone on here a couple of times,
they're legitimately just have written two great comments.
Yeah.
What happened over here?
I just said, let's call it the breakfast comments. Yeah. What happened over here? I just said,
let's call it the breakfast system.
Yeah.
And that made Aaron laugh.
Yeah.
And then,
and then no one,
no one else listened.
So we just laughed.
It's funny though.
Sometimes we're alone over here for a minute or two.
And then we come back.
Yeah.
I don't think it's fair.
If someone's got a great comment,
it's not fair that they don't get it read because they've already been on before.
That's interesting, though.
That's it.
That is very fair.
I think it makes people that have had their comments read twice like, oh, like you're getting it in.
Like you're getting on your own merit.
You're not getting it, you know.
Yeah.
I'll say a fun tip is if you email in all caps, that'll stand out.
Right?
Shut up, Aaron.
That's a good thing.
Don't.
People love to DM me.
And don't send it to every social media where I have to read the same one five times.
Just send it to one and I'll see it.
Yeah, that gets you almost disqualified.
If I have to read it four times
before it makes it here,
you're disqualified.
Yeah.
I'm making that rule.
That's not part of the breakfast system.
That's the dusty system.
Yeah.
It's pretty big.
A lot of rules to follow.
Twitter, Instagram, YouTube,
Apple Podcast Reviews.
I mean,
they leave them
on Apple Podcast Reviews?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Nateland
at natbergetzi.com.
What's probably the best email or do you like youtube
i think i like youtube because um email's fine but people tend to get long on those emails
also youtube comments are public so it's gonna you know people are you write better stuff when
you think everybody else that's right that's a good point and it's just your handle on there
now so i can't even see your name like i see the comment first before i even click on it see what your name
is yeah so take that eric uh but your trick worked because you just got your comment read
yeah yeah talked about for a while uh jerry ruck chanter
reich probably reich reichendater reichendater maybe i bet that's rightike. Rikendater.
Rikendater.
Maybe.
I bet that's right.
Jerry Rikendater.
That sounded bad.
He spells J-E-R-I, which might be a woman.
Maybe.
I would go by J-R.
If I were a guy, I'd be J-R.
Yeah.
Jerry.
And then they go, come on, man.
Don't do J-R. Give me your real name. He goes, Jerry Rikendater. And they go, come on, man. Don't do J.
What?
Give me your real name.
He goes,
Jerry.
Right.
Can daughter.
And they go,
all right,
Jr.
Growing up in Indianapolis.
I remember when they built the,
who's your damn.
Don't.
Don't.
The, who's your damn. The Hoosier Dam.
They added a 1% sales tax to pay for it.
That was in 1984, and it was imploded in 2008,
but we're still paying that tax.
Never got it paid off.
Still paying it.
How about if you're building something
and it takes 40
years to finance, don't
do it.
I don't think it took 40 years to finance.
They're just doing the tax.
They just kept the tax going. They, they just kept the tax on?
They just kept the tax going.
Yeah, they never get rid of the tax.
Yeah.
They just switch it to something else.
Read my lips.
Yeah, yeah.
They just put...
Yeah.
Have there ever been taxes taken off?
Not that I'm aware of.
There have been tax cuts, yeah.
Yeah.
Are they really, though?
Are they like...
I don't think so.
I think so.
I don't think...
They've never been like, the sales tax in this county is 10%.
Now it's nine.
I would say that's never happened.
I was thinking more like.
I'm sure like lower taxes.
Is there one that's ever gone away?
Like paid off.
You guys no longer have to pay this tax.
I'd probably say they have never even lowered taxes.
I would think that even if they do lower it one,
they're going up somewhere.
I don't think they're ever giving you the money
back. I mean, that's like every job that's like
a government job is like you got to spend all
this money or we're not going to give you the exact money.
So we're already used to
paying these taxes, so they're not going to just
let us get used to
paying less taxes.
I agree. Yes, sir.
No, I agree.
That's a good point.
Jordan Penley.
Aaron, have you heard of the birthday paradox?
It would be amazing to hear you try to explain it to Nate and see if Dusty believes in it.
Do you know any part of it?
Yeah. So if you were in a room with strangers,
how many people do you think would need to be in that room
for there to be a 50% chance that two people would share a birthday?
150.
Is there an actual number?
Yeah.
There's an actual number that will surprise you how few people you need for there to be a 50% chance.
Well, you said a good number.
Well, 178 would be half of the calendar.
Yeah.
The answer is 23.
If you have 23 people in a room, there's a 50% chance, I think more than 50% chance that two people will have the same birthday.
Really?
Even though there's 365 days.
Wow.
That's why it's called a paradox because it seems crazy.
But the math of it works out that 23 people, half the time, they'll share a birthday.
So basically you have a 23% chance.
No.
No.
That's not. No. No. That's not.
No, I'm saying it's more than, with 23 people, there's more than 50% chance.
And I'm saying in life, if you ever go walk around, could you say you have a 23% of meeting someone that has your birthday?
No.
Every 23%.
You should have a one in 23 chance.
You have more than 50% chance of every 23rd person you meet that you share a birthday with.
Yeah.
There you go.
So percentage of percentages.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's pretty cool.
Pretty cool.
Now I want to do a thing, a man on the street where I find 23 people and ask them what their birthday is.
Come to my show this weekend.
It's going to be my new closer.
He needs you for the 23rd birthday.
If it's counting Brian.
He goes, we got 23 people there.
Take you out of it.
He goes, 22.
That's go-go tickets.
If a comic counted themselves.
He goes, dude, we were packed out.
100 people there.
Take you out of it.
98.
Two down, two.
Nobody that was on the show.
It's like, well, there's not 50 people.
23 people.
Yeah, you put them in a room.
Two of them are going to have the same birthday.
You have a 50% chance.
More than 50% chance.
So it doesn't matter.
It's not necessarily your birthday.
Any two in the room are going to share a birthday.
If there's 46 people in the room, I mean, what's the percentage there?
100% chance?
100% chance.
Borderline 100%.
It's never not happened.
Wow. I want
to do this. I need to find 46 people
that don't have my birthday. We got to think. We got four
people at this table right now.
You compare your birthday
to Dusty. You compare your birthday to
me. You compare it to Brian. That's
three.
That's three comparisons that
are being made of birthdays.
Well, then I compare
mine to Dusty. I compare mine
to Brian. That's two.
So that's five already
and it's just with four people.
If you have 23, there's like 200
different comparisons being made.
So it doesn't have to be your birthday.
No, it's any two.
You need to be invited in the room.
I'm sorry if I phrase it that way,
but among 23 people,
there's a more than 50% chance
that there will be
a birthday shared in the group.
Oh, okay.
Among 23.
Is this a college thing?
No, it's just fun reading.
Was there a movie about this?
Not that I know of.
What was that movie?
The Butterfly Effect.
Kind of. It's a great movie. The Birthday Paradox. Wasn't there a movie about a? What was that movie? The Butterfly Effect. Kind of. It's a great movie.
The Birthday Paradox. Wasn't there a movie about
a number that... The number
23 with Jim Carrey.
But that wasn't... No, that had nothing to do
with this. Okay. Yeah, well, that's like
a horror movie, right? Yeah.
Scary as some... Yeah, there's a lot
of theories about
the number 23. Let me tell you what, I watched
Liar Liar with Jim Carrey. So good. It's... lot of theory about dude i just let me tell you what i watched liar liar uh with jim carrey so
good it's you could i i mean am i crazy or could he have won an oscar yeah it's so good dude it's
unbelievable man i mean i haven't watched that in forever and i'm going through it what he's doing
like comedically yeah is when he's writing a pen and he's fighting himself.
Where his hand is acting independently from him.
And you really feel like his hand is on its own.
Yeah.
It's amazing.
Could it have won?
I think so.
You'd just be like best actor and be like, no one's doing that.
Right.
No one can do that.
Yeah.
Jim Carrey's incredible.
You can't.
Incredible.
can do that yeah jim carrey's incredible you can't incredible that's uh in acting like it's it's a joke because it's a the movie and stuff but like all the different stuff all the even when he's in
court and he's how quick he is and i mean beats himself up in the bathroom i'm kicking my own
butt yeah that's so good dude he should have won one for truman show but you're right i mean i
think should have won for what he did in Liar Liar is unbelievable.
Yeah, I mean, they just wouldn't ever give it.
But if you want to go realistic, you're like, no, we're going to go straight up.
You're like not even trying to be funny.
Just we're saying, find me another person that could do that.
Me, myself and Irene, his performance is really good.
That's like a weirdly dirty movie
but his uh role in that he's so he's playing like two characters the whole time really great yeah
yeah yeah i really enjoyed it and i've seen it before but it's like you're just watching it and
you're like golly this guy is unbelievable.
He was so great on In Living Color.
I just saw a thing, a documentary about.
Got to watch that on TV.
I'm about to go deeper here.
The Super Bowl, like this is the mid-90s.
Now the halftime show is so big.
The Super Bowl used to be nothing and they were doing like a disney uh characters or something was the halftime show and in living color went on live on an opposite
channel during halftime and did a live show and so many people turned over there it like messed
with the super bowl and then the next year michael jackson was the halftime entertainment oh really
yeah i'd
never i don't remember that and i never heard that but i saw that documentary wow they were
the first one to say let's compete and everybody turned over there during halftime and i think they
had a clock so people could see they're not missing anything but um yeah really messed with
their ratings yeah to the point where for now on it's the biggest star in the world that's doing the halftime show.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's really interesting.
That's good.
I think they're going to have a comic do it.
The halftime show?
Yeah.
It'd be tough.
Yeah.
To do a stand-up at a halftime show,
that's your next career goal.
Maybe we can make it happen.
What's up, everybody?
Would you do that spot? Let's say, everybody? Would you do
that spot?
Let's say Goodell calls you tomorrow
and he goes,
Rihanna canceled. I don't even know who's doing it.
Last minute.
You'd probably only get it
for that scenario.
You'd have to have jokes.
Yeah, you may do it, but there'd be one
where I would have writers. I'd be like,
let's get some writers and make very specific topical stuff i think i think that i think for that
situation to go you have to make it about what's going on you wouldn't do your best 15 uh you do
your new your new 15 you're working on no i i mean i would like to, but it's, I think out of context, it's too out of context for them to grasp your joke or what you're saying.
You could do some wife jokes or you could do some, you know, whatever.
Maybe some crowd work.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's a big crowd.
And then, what's that?
Go ahead.
Yeah.
The guy in the green shirt.
It's a whole.
The Eagles playing.
The guy with the jersey at the top.
It's only jerseys in the top.
All right.
The guy that took his shirt off.
Mahomes.
Yeah.
I think you would have to, like who, where that would work would be honestly probably like a Jeff Ross going to roast the town maybe or roast the
roast the things that could probably work it had to be jokes like that like that kind of quick
you know that'd be very funny but it's it would be hard to get people's really focus you know
people want to see they're not because they're they're not even watching even the singers is like it's about
the you know them flying around yeah i would do that i'd be like all right i'll do it but i'm
gonna do i would say i'll do it but i'm gonna do my act and i will but i want to move around as
much as a singer would yeah what if they could like float you to a different stage you land on
it do a quick joke and then you float to it, do a quick joke, and then you float to another stage, do a quick joke.
There's a wardrobe malfunction.
Yeah, you would set it up like that.
Have like, yeah, like go out, do something and be like, I'm going to read knock-knock jokes, but I won't do it as a performance.
But just a short greatest hits kind of thing where you land and you go, is that horse dead?
And then it floats you over.
Is that a wolf? And then it floats you over. Is that a wolf?
And then it floats you over.
You know?
Yeah.
Do the whole thing.
Just animal bits.
Yeah.
Just animal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Jerry Reckendotter.
Going backwards.
Emily Osborne.
A guy climbs 1,500 feet to the top of a tower in South Dakota twice a year to change a light bulb.
It takes him two and a half hours to climb up and one and a half hours to climb back down.
He gets $20,000 every time he does this.
Who among you would do it?
I feel like something like this came not –
I feel like that's like –
Something was that's not true.
I pulled up the video, and one of the comments was,
Dusty Slade, not enough money for me.
Yeah.
And you're in it, dude.
All over the place.
Yeah.
Why did you comment?
I just, I don't know.
I scroll along and then I just comment on things.
I thought I read something, too, about this.
I don't think he gets $20,000.
He gets more?
No, no.
It's an hourly.
It's not like it's his thing oh so this isn't
this is yeah they're not they don't go here's twenty thousand dollars go change that light bulb
that's uh that i i'm almost positive that's not true he's a city worker i know eric the barber
trainer would do it because he likes to do crazy stuff i would would want to do it. I don't know if I would do it, but I would want the theory of it.
I would want, I guess, if you know, you're strapped in.
There's no way I'd do it.
But I mean, it's really, you're like, okay, I got it going.
And then you get to the top and then you're like, oh man.
I get the top and then I drop the light bulb.
I don't want to do it just for the amount of steps.
Yes.
Like if that were a staircase all the way up,'d be like nah yeah i'd be like whoever's
filming this how about you do it yeah i thought you would just attach the new bulb to this drone
you got up here and just hook it in yeah there should be a better way to do it but i mean he's
really i guess he looks at it as like you you're really strapped in. I hope so.
Yeah.
I just wouldn't.
I mean, I just feel like that would.
I wonder how long it takes.
Tower would top.
Well, she said.
Two and a half hours.
Oh, two and a half hours.
Oh.
Yeah.
He probably has lunch up there and like, you know, man, you're just being left alone.
Nate would pay $20,000.
Yeah.
Just the solitude is nice.
Just to go.
Yeah. I would enjoy that. Just go solitude is nice to go. Yeah.
I would enjoy that.
Just go sit up there and man,
that last part would be the last.
Yeah.
I mean,
all of it would be crazy.
And then that last part would be like,
and then if you're like,
I can't do it,
they're like,
yo dude,
that's,
you know,
it would get annoying to be having to click on,
click off and all that stuff.
I watched a movie about a girl who got trapped on one of these.
I watched it.
I watched it in parts in TikTok, like part one of nine.
I just kept scrolling.
Oh, they showed it?
Yeah, I watched basically the whole thing.
How do they do that?
Just make several videos.
People just do that.
So no one's even watching the whole, but it's called Fall or something like that?
Something like that, yeah.
Yeah, I watched the whole movie.
I mean, and I jumped in.
She was already trapped.
So I had no character development at all, but I just wanted to see what happened.
Yeah.
It would make, I mean, I already wouldn't do that, but after that movie, I'm definitely not going up for it.
Are people really watching stuff like that?
Like, that's insane.
I don't think they're watching whole two-hour movies, like i'll watch i know long clips for movies all the time on there i know so
but then you the problem is then you will you will have an opinion about the movie of course
and then that's the part that people shouldn't have
like you don't get it like you didn't go through the whole thing oh you're right
because i'm just watching something yeah so i'm out of context you do it so i'm saying this is
it's just i bet it's everything it's just frustrating to be like there's probably so
many people that are like i saw that movie and you're like they did not oh yeah they saw not
saying you didn't you got the you got the gist of it, but you got it in a like, I don't really care.
Or you'd be like, ah, that movie was like whatever.
Because you were in a bad mood and you're sitting on the toilet watching this movie.
And then you have a real opinion and go out and go, ah, that movie's not that fun.
Well, think about the amount of people that have only seen a joke or a fraction of a joke from your last special versus the amount of people that
have sat down and watched the whole thing i i think it's a ton yeah i think it's beyond and
they probably would comment oh that special was good or that's yeah yeah that's true and they've
only watched one little you know what i actually don't think it's that bad of a thing and i'm glad
that it's happening you know now they put it that way. Yeah, that happens a ton.
I mean, there's the fruit joke.
I get tagged in it, and it's like twice, two, three, four times removed from me.
But the only thing that's good with mine, it's acknowledgement that it is me like there's everybody knows it's me
you know because i mean it's showing me but that's a problem with comedy is you can have some stuff
go where it's the audio something and someone's not credited like oh yeah not like saying you're
crediting like you know there's a slippery but but there's no but no one even knows what this
thing is and they don't know what that voice is they don't know what anything is so it's you know
they're not like oh but yeah i look most people i probably recognize a ton mostly now off tiktok
yeah kids kids will be off TikTok.
I say all this.
I hope the war
doesn't come to that where you're just
still making some movies
and you're still... Are you still on a 90s movie
kick?
What did...
I watched Born.
Started watching that. God, I watched
last night. Shawshank?
No.
I'd like to make a comment on that.
There's a comment right here.
Yeah.
Apparently this guy does this twice a year.
This person says that's only 40.
That's Yamanika Saunders.
Yeah.
That's only 40,000 a year.
Nope.
It's like, well, it's only two days out of the year.
He's got plenty of time to make some other money the rest of the year.
Yeah.
I think she's assuming this is all you do.
Yeah.
Well, that, yeah.
Yeah, but.
It's a mistake.
Yeah, I mean, you got 363 days left.
Right.
That's the Gregorian calendar.
Yeah, Yom Kippur Sanders.
I've been around Yom Kippur forever.
Yeah.
New York.
Well, yeah, I mean, I'm just commenting.
I don't know her, but I'm just commenting on the comment itself.
I'm just saying there's plenty of time.
Well, she got 897 likes to us and you got 28.
So well, sometimes jealousy is involved.
And she had 280 comments and she's moving the needle.
Well, let's see what they're saying.
You know, we're really saying the same thing.
It's not enough money for us, but.
Well, yeah, people aren't happy about it. Well well but you got that's what you gotta do you gotta get there's a uh that's i don't know i said it is true if you
get greg warren you gotta give you argue greg warren's got his uh we posted his joke about
nurse practitioner on my thing and uh i've seen the little of the comments, like, I don't go read them. Cause
it's just that, I mean, it's just, I'll get them. Like you see the notifications. I mean,
it's got so many cause people, nurse practitioners are arguing or dot or there are, you know,
whatever his joke is about nurse practice. Like he's not, you know, it's like just trying to be
fun. No one's taking nothing seriously, but it's, uh, it's like, you got to get up and go like that.
And then they just, but I don't, I don't think that builds what everybody wants it to build.
That's the one thing that I disagree when everybody talks about, uh, getting the clicks
and like, you need them arguing, you need them mad, you need them all this stuff. I don't think
that turns into a positive for the ultimate goal, which is you.
It turns a positive into if you're trying to, I guess, ads or you're trying to like, you know, you're just trying to make people come to you get to go say, look, all these people comment on this.
Look at all this kind of stuff.
But I don't even think people would be buying stuff from the ads.
It's it's in a place of like people just want to argue.
I don't think it helps but i think
the thinking is the more engagement that's going on in that post the more people it gets in front
of in the algorithm right so the people that you do want to see it uh because there's this argument
going on in the comments they're more likely that people are the people you want to see it are going to see it yeah but i'm saying with this
what does it matter who sees this so this doesn't really matter you're not no one's that guy's not
gonna make more money the person that posts it's not gonna make more amazes for these like like
what's the what's the argument for them to be more engagement on it for the ads like where's the ads
coming from like that's what i mean i
don't it's not like walmart posted this and then there's engagement it's yeah it's just a person
posted this and then there's engagement that's what i don't understand so that's why and i don't
think it turned into actual a buyer like it doesn't turn into an actual like purchasing a ticket. I mean,
if you're constantly getting stuff going, I guess you could get known for that. And then
people come to see you because you're the guy that always gets people riled up or they follow you.
But I don't, you know, it's like there's still that's a very far and few between of who can actually really, really make it and be substantial.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
I agree.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, shock jocks, they were kind of the original, like people hated Howard Stern, but they listened to him to get mad at him.
But there's only one Howard Stern.
Right. So that's the thing is everything. It's like that works because it's Howard Stern, but they listened to him to get mad at him. But there's only one Howard Stern. Right.
So that's the thing.
Everybody thinks it's – that works because it's Howard Stern.
It doesn't work because the general idea of just getting people to hate one person,
most of the time they're not going to.
There's something that they like about him, even though they hate what he's saying.
All right.
All right.
That doesn't count as a rant.
No, I don't think so.
I don't want people Counting that
I made a note of it
For my Festivus post
That I do every year
The airing of grievances
Alright guys
Labor Day just passed us
We came over Nate's
We had a great time
So much fun
I picked up some burgers
And hot dogs
Alright he's out of here
I picked up burgers

For a late summer barbecue And I saved money by using Ibotta.
Ibotta gives you cash back on hundreds of grocery items from produce to personal care to pantry goods.
So you can make sure you're beating inflation no matter what you're purchasing.
Either link your loyalty account or upload your receipt after you shop and get your cash back.
It's that easy.
The average Ibotta user earns $120 per year.
How about that?
Whoa.
That could cover the cost of an entire shopping trip or a dinner out.
You can earn cash back on hundreds of online brands and retailers, too.
When you start with Ibotta, including Lowe's, Macy's.
All right.
I go to Lowe's a lot.
I go to Macy's a ton sephora
there you go my wife's really into sephora best buy and more i like a best i like more

There we go.
And that's what we do.
We give right back to you.
You like that?
Here's a remake of it.
All we are is movies.
Just remaking movies.
We've become what we despise.
Well, we ended on a cliffhanger.
We did. Yeah. Which was you saying we despise. Well, we ended on a cliffhanger. We did.
Yeah.
Which was you saying,
we haven't got to my kitchen yet.
I can talk,
talk for 30 minutes,
just about a magic bullet.
So.
Wow.
I didn't say that.
Yeah.
So.
I didn't know we were going to do it so soon,
but yeah.
No,
I can't.
I'm excited.
Have you ever,
anybody ever bought an appliance off television?
I bought a magic bullet.
Magic,
but one of the best infomercials ever made
and i there's a while there where i would watch infomercials but it was before
you know i had a smartphone and you're a kid you watch tv and that's all that's on it yeah
now we're all these uh infomercials the magic bullet one it had a story they did a great job
demonstrating the product i don't know what it is a magic bullet is a blender where you put it
on top and you push down to blend it and they would go you can make anything in one two three
seconds and the infomercial was like this random group of like nine adults and the story was they
were badly hung over they were waking up in kitchen, and they're all sitting around this kitchen, and the
guy just makes them all different stuff
with the magic bullet, and I'd watch it
all the time. So I bought one.
Like, where would it air?
Just some late night channels? Yeah, television
late at night, or like a Sunday,
you know, weird hours on a Sunday.
I've seen it multiple times.
Do you use it? I haven't used it
and this was a long
time ago yeah and i had one i don't even have a blender now we got 28 minutes left on this okay
when we talk 30 minutes i mean well all right so well that commercial seems kind of crazy
i've never seen that commercial dude he was He was like, anybody want nachos?
And there's a guy that's like the fat guy at the table.
He's like, now we're talking.
And they make the nacho cheese.
And then there's a guy that's like the booze hound.
And they make margaritas.
And he's like, that's what I'm talking about.
Really?
They all had distinct personalities.
How do you make nachos?
Yeah.
Well, you'd blend up the cheese.
Yeah.
So you put the cheese and you blend it up then you can put the cup from the magic bullet directly in the
microwave heat it up make fresh you know fresh queso it's probably getting a two variant what
do you mean like if you're doing cheese and then fruit and then like it's going to be like you're
cleaning out the cup between each of these nonetheless cheese when you microwave cheese in the thing you're kind of like it's it's a cheese thing now
i know what you mean it's my cheese blender this didn't come up in the infomercial but i think the
reality of doing that is yeah yeah there's there's some caked on cheese there for a long time there's
yeah it's you just go everything's like caked on cheese there for a long time there's yeah it's
you just go everything's like this spinach have cheese in it and you go it all it all kind of like
tastes like cheese i think cheese just you know yeah that nacho guy i hope they didn't open with
him i love the stereotypical because it's like can you imagine he does that and then they're
and then everybody else is like this this tastes like daggum cheese.
Look, there's a woman with a cigarette at the table.
Yeah.
And these people are like, well, we'll make everybody stuff with them.
I mean, it's their ups and downs, their tears, their laughs.
And how long does this infomercial last?
It's a half an hour infomercial.
Wow.
And that's a ton of butter, man.
Yeah.
I think that's cheese.
No, it's butter right before. Is that butter? Right before it. They need butter. Don of butter, man. Yeah. I think that's cheese. Is that butter?
Rub it for it.
They need butter.
Don't take it from that lady.
I would do.
I like.
I mean, look, I like a lot of butter, but that felt like a lot of butter.
And then watch you push it.
One, two, three.
They count very slow.
Yeah.
One.
He gets one more quick push in.
And look at that. What do we got? Boom. Oh, that does. And he gets one more quick push in.
And look at that.
What do we got?
Boom.
Oh, that does something.
You got a little shaker on there.
Oh, and then you put it in the microwave.
Pop that in the microwave.
That's cheese.
That whole top is going to be cheese.
Yeah, it's going to be all queso, man.
You know, really.
You're going to be like, are they going to make a margarita after this?
Like, I don't, you know.
Oh, look, they do guac right here. I bet kevin from the office no what brian bomb garner it looked like nate's golf partner
yeah okay oh that guy that is that the guy that wanted the nachos that's what i'm talking about
they're kind of creeping on this girl there's a lot going on at the table that's what i'm saying
dude this this was good television.
And it made me want to buy the product.
And then these people, they just, some of them are starting, oh,
these make like a milkshake. Like a little chocolate milk.
Yeah.
For when the spoon's too hard.
Yeah.
How old are we when you bought this?
And he goes, and he puts milk and chocolate in there.
And he goes, now you microwave it.
And you go, what?
I think we probably got one when I was in middle school.
They just did that again.
That's going to taste like cheese.
It's going to be chocolate milk with a little.
No, it's a different cup.
All right.
That's the thing, right?
When they're doing it, you got a lot of cups.
How does that become?
Look, that's chocolate mousse in six seconds.
That's sauce served ice cream.
How do you even make mousse?
What is mousse?
Just warm ice cream.
I don't know.
I don't think it's...
No one knows.
I think it's like a frothy.
It's cold.
It's not that cold.
It can't be that cold.
I don't think it's hot out of the oven.
Well, he just made it.
And they go, all right, someone's being normal for a second
and making an actual smoothie with this.
Yeah.
I feel like the Magic Bullet people would be like,
well, at least we got one person that's asking for a normal thing.
That guy with the coffee cup. That was longer than longer than three seconds well they always say it's all right so how long does it say that one was that was i mean they're a smoothie a three second
gelato or whatever yeah so if you bought this in junior high your parents were on board with it
oh yeah they said eight seconds for a fat freefree sorbet. Yeah, we got one for the family.
Oh, I see.
Eggs.
You can make tuna.
Anything a blender can do.
Well, it is a blender, but it's, you know.
I had a much more convenient.
It's fun.
But when you do the cheese one, it's like, do the cheese.
I think it probably should give you a label that says cheese stuff. This is your cheese one. This is your cheese one it's like do the cheat like i think it probably should give you a label this is
cheese that's your cheese one this is your cheese one you can't be putting chocolate milk in the
cheese but a couple married oh that's i know exactly what line he just said right there
what well he goes i like the magic bullet because it is the ultimate party machine that's what he
just yelled yeah and now we're making the fun stuff.
And the drunks at the table are like, here we go.
Here we go.
Now we get into it.
Queso.
A little fruit.
Yeah.
And then the alcohol comes out.
And, you know, there's some fights at the table.
Enemies were made.
No liquid.
I used mine, yeah.
But I just made smoothies.
I just made typical stuff.
No cheese.
Dip.
So they did not even show him put the alcohol in it.
No, he's making queso right now.
He's making queso?
Yeah.
Queso is a big part of this.
Oh, why are they pushing queso so hard?
Out of all the stuff the magic will.
It's the ultimate party machine.
He's making quesadillas now.
I mean, you can do it all.
As long as you got a microwave.
Oh, they forgot.
That thing's been microwaved for 40 minutes.
That queso.
And they just grabbed it out like it's not hot.
Look at that.
Tell me that doesn't look good.
That does look good, though.
And that guy's like, give it to me, buddy.
I'll take the nachos.
And then, yeah.
Yeah.
It's good stuff, man.
I recommend it.
If you want 30 minutes, get a kill 30 minutes, go watch it.
That reminds me of that guy.
You ever remember Mike and Mike?
I could see getting stuck watching that.
Yeah.
Like, I'm worried getting stuck watching it now.
Just kind of like.
But Mike Golick would always be that.
He would always be the food guy.
Like, anytime food was brought up, he's like, yeah,
that's what I'm talking about.
And it's just like, all right, we get it.
We get it.
I'll be honest with you. Anytime you do a sports reference, I'm pretty shocked. And it's just like, all right, we get it. We get it. I'll be honest with you.
Anytime you do a sports reference, I'm pretty shocked.
Yeah.
I don't know why.
I thought of it.
The last podcast we just did, which was earlier,
you had a sports reference.
And then you go, well, I like to watch football.
And then when the kids.
And then right there when you're like, well, I watch Mike and Mike.
I'm like, I just don't see you as a guy watching Mike and Mike.
Yeah.
I had a time with it.
There's the Golik family, big Nate Land fans.
Are they?
Are they?
Yeah.
Wow.
Really?
I don't know about Mike Golik specifically, but I know he's got, they're a big Notre Dame family.
Yeah.
And I've had Jenny Golik, who's in the family, reach out and they're fans.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that was my song.
Mike Golick was always doing the food, the food thing.
And then, yeah, it was always like every food, right?
Oh, you know, I love to eat.
Yeah.
You know.
Was there any talk about the magic bullet?
I'm not a fan anymore.
It feels like they make that his character.
He's like real skinny now.
Yeah, he is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He looks great.
He looks good.
Yeah.
It feels like they make, then they took him off, I guess,
and just did Mike Greenberg.
And Mike Golick was always the better one of the two.
They were a good pairing.
He got too skinny.
He got too good looking.
Backdraft.
No, they were a good pairing.
I was a big fan of Mike Golick.
But it was like,
it felt like that he made the food joke one time
and they were like,
do the food joke every time.
I think he was a big guy.
Yeah, he was a big guy.
So that's probably why. Does he do Weight Watchers ads i don't know he does something whatever he's doing that's what's good now yeah yeah it's crazy i'm not backing down i liked him
but yeah i thought he was the guy who plays uh on the on the larry david show curb your enthusiasm
oh jeff garland yeah i thought they were the same person.
They do look very similar.
Okay.
Yeah.
That surprised me too.
I didn't know you listened to Mike.
Yeah.
I mean,
does it,
he,
he's had a few references where you're like,
what?
He knows,
uh,
you're a big Tua guy,
aren't you?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know,
Alabama.
Don't you know how to say his last name?
Go ahead and take a stab at that last name.
Tua Tungavailoa. I think it's how you say his last name? Tunga-Vailoa, I think is how you say it.
Tunga-Vailoa.
Yeah, I was always impressed when you knew how to say his last name.
There's like three people in the world that know how to say it.
Thankfully, the first name's unique enough.
You don't really need to say the last name that often.
But it felt like the sportscasters were always like, nah, I'm going to do it.
I'm going to do the last name.
Naga.
I watched Office Space do the last time. Naga. I watched the office space
too the other day.
He goes, Naga, Naga, not
going to work here anymore.
That's a great movie.
Some of the other big
infomercial appliances,
George Foreman grill.
I love a George Foreman.
I don't have one now, but I
used to, and I love it love what's so great can you
find lachlan patterson's joke about it have we showed his joke on george foreman grill i don't
think so see if you can play lachlan patterson's george foreman grill what was great about it i
mean it's not nothing you can't just do on a pot uh yeah like it's a four minute bit you want to
listen uh just do some of it at the beginning He's coming out with me
Towards the end of the year
I like him a lot
I worked with him
One time at Zany's
A lot of great athletes
Go on to do other things
That are wonderful
And some go on
To become terrible
To human beings
I think you all know
Who I'm talking about
George Foreman
heavyweight champion of the world
I think I'm ready to design a grill
it's clear that he didn't ask for any help either
it's clear he's pretty much on his own on that grill
just kind of walked in there I got an idea for a grill I just thought about it help either. It's clear he's pretty much on his own on that grill.
Just kind of walked in there. I got an idea for a grill. I just thought about it
just a second ago. I'm gonna put it on an angle. I think that's all we need to do.
And that's it. Let's do it. Nobody helped him, really. Nobody stood up to
George Foreman and say, hey George, how about putting an on and off switch on your grill?
Sometimes these things have switches.
Just an idea.
Here at the grill factory, we like to put switches on most of our grills.
Nope, don't need it.
This grill, you just plug it in and it's on.
Make it take a couple hours to cool down
while I'm thinking about it.
Let's go. Let's get them in a box.
Let's get them on the shelves.
Why are we still talking about this?
I don't know.
Nobody, nobody was like, hey man, hey George, love this grill, great idea.
Grease drips off, I get it.
What do you think about a thermostat?
With a range of different temperatures
for different foods.
Not one temperature is all you're going to need on this grill.
500 degrees.
Come to think of it, make it hot on the outside too, fellas.
Make the whole thing really hot.
Yeah, I you go.
It's, yeah, I'm always a big fan of that joke.
That is funny.
Very funny.
Because it's just, it doesn't make, I mean, there's nothing.
He goes on, you know, it's like there's no, he goes, how to clean it?
Can we take the trays off to clean it?
He goes, no, no, no, make it where you have to put the whole thing in the sink.
Because you have to put the whole. in the sink because you have to put the whole oh yeah there's no way i didn't get a lot of that because i've never had a george foreman at that time everybody i felt like everybody had
a george for him probably when that joke was out yeah so the selling point was it's at an angle so
that the fat drips off and it's somehow healthier to eat okay okay and you had a you had a tray to
collect it and that's another thing that he says
in the joke uh was and then make sure the tray doesn't attach to it so you lose it immediately
yeah yeah it's just gone you know someone told me that that grill was invented and they offered it
they were going to offer it to hulk hogan they called. His agent missed the call. Then they called George Foreman.
George Foreman probably
made millions. Who do you think
is next on that list?
If George Foreman didn't answer the grill.
Is this a Dustin Diamond grill or something like that?
Evander Holyfield? Yeah, maybe.
Probably Evander. I don't know if you
could have went to Mike Tyson at the time.
Evander Holyfield
seems like too long of a name for the grill.
Yeah, that's the time.
Well, George Foreman's not.
I mean, it's an easy name.
I mean, there's the same amount of syllables in Evander as there is George Foreman.
Maybe it's the Evander grill.
That's not bad.
Or they just do their own thing.
I had buddies in college that had a grilled cheese business.
Yeah.
A late night grilled cheese delivering business, which is just cash cow in college they had a grilled cheese business yeah a late night grilled cheese delivering business which is just a cash cow in in a college yeah and they had about 10 of these
george foreman grills just lined up in rotation just put it about that it's fun wow and you can
just order as many as you want oh yeah yeah and they would you just call and they have, I, yeah, I think you go by or call and,
you know,
like two,
3.
A.M.
They'd bring by.
Yeah.
These takeout trays of grilled cheese sandwiches.
They had supreme ones with like bacon.
It was a good time.
Yeah.
And this health department shut it down.
Well,
you know,
it was very under the table.
Yeah.
Do they ever have like a press?
That's what the George Foreman. It was. Yeah. Yeah. It was one a press? That's what the George Foreman is.
It was,
yeah, it was one of,
you've never even seen
a George Foreman?
You've never even seen?
I don't think so.
You're not even getting the idea?
You've seen like a version
of that where it's like,
Do the white,
with the,
see if you can find the white one.
Yeah, like the traditional,
I mean,
this would have been like, yeah, that one.
Yeah, like this one.
Lean, mean, fat grilling machine.
That's right.
Yeah.
You've never even seen that like on someone's counter?
I don't think so.
If I have, I wasn't paying attention to it.
Do you think, I think that's worse than my Shawshank Redemption.
I think it's very close, actually, to know that you've never even encountered a George Foreman grill.
Yeah, that's true.
At one point, I think every family member I had had one.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know what to do.
Apologize.
You mean you had a single guy, too?
They're made for you.
Yeah, so you just put them in and then close it down like it's
almost like a panini press yeah okay yeah it works the same way all right have you even heard the
name like like george foreman grill even yeah i've heard of it a lot i mean that's why i mentioned it
is one of the best selling i forgot you brought it up
i've just never owned one You've never even heard these words?
My bad, dude.
Yeah, I think you could do a poll to go, what's worse?
Me not seeing Shawshank.
Never having seen the number one fan-rated movie of all time on IMDb.
Yep.
And a movie that everyone wants you to watch and you won't.
And it's so good
and brian not even knowing what a george foreman girl looks like yeah yeah never seen i think it's
i think it's close i think yeah i mean no one knowing your ages too it's like there's no reason
why you've not encountered these things like if you were like if you were you know 18 like yeah
the george foreman girl has kind of been out of circulation but it's like you were like, if you were, you know, 18, like, yeah, the George Foreman grill has kind of been out of circulation.
But it's like you were around when this thing was peak popular.
He might have been a little bit outside.
I don't know if they were targeting breakfast baits when the George Foreman came out.
I've probably been to people's houses who had one, but they weren't using it when I was there.
But we never had one.
Did you cover that Muhammad Ali-George
Foreman fight?
The rumble in the jungle?
Yeah.
The thrill in Manila?
Which one was it?
Spinks.
I think the thrill in Manila was Spinks.
I think that's Egypt.
The mouths and the powers.
What is Egypt?
I think so.
Sphinx.
Yeah, Sphinx.
I do remember
George Foreman fighting
his second time around
as a resurgence
when he became
heavyweight champion again.
Yeah, I remember that.
It's a Sphinx.
S-P-H.
Yeah.
I remember George Foreman
fighting because
he wouldn't sit down.
He fought one
when he was older
and his thing was he wouldn't sit down when he went
to the corner because he's hanging getting back up sit down whoa there was a movie that just came
out about him i didn't see it i wish i had maybe i don't know what that grill looked like um leanne
morgan that's a big part of the movie leanne morgan's daughter worked on the movie oh really
world heavyweight champion and then at the end you just see him grilling out. I think it is a part of it.
I saw it in the trailer.
Yeah, he probably
made more money there.
Yeah, I think he did.
They say Dr. Dre
made more money
off Beats headphones
than he ever did music.
And it's like
not even close.
50 cent
vitamin water.
It's like not even close
compared to what
he made music.
I'm Sir George Foreman.
I bet it's
I bet
a factor of 10.
That's my guess.
Yeah.
And I'll look it up now.
Yeah.
Well, that's why Hulk Hogan.
I mean, what I heard about Hulk Hogan, like him missing that call was like devastating.
It's hard to believe that if they really wanted him, they wouldn't just wait for him to call him back.
I think they got the right person.
All the stuff that came out of Hulk Hogan, too too he had some stuff come out so then you that would be
you know they george foreman like has kind of settled under the radar of like nothing
is really going around is he uh
oh they paid him 138 million lump sum
yeah his name.
Estimates are you earned in excess of 200 million on the grill.
True?
He said much more.
There were months I was being paid 8 million a month.
Wow.
Just to use his name.
I mean, they were so hot at one time.
I mean, that's why it is shocking that you never encountered it.
It's like the magic bullet of Gen X.
What's in perpetuity mean?
What does that mean?
Forever.
Forever, yeah.
Can you imagine $8 million a month?
Yeah, see, there's Hulk Hogan at the bottom. There must be some mention of that.
Yeah, I saw one where it said Hogan made a mistake
in the article.
He said he chose to endorse a meatball maker
over it.
The Hulk Hogan meatball maker does sound
fun.
Yeah, I wonder, can you click on it?
Is that going to be a whole thing?
It's going to be.
What was the meatball maker that he was going to do?
They did not.
He met with his agent, was given three options for products to endorse.
A grill, a meatball maker, and a blender.
Of all of those.
What if he goes, it becomes George Foreman Grill,
and then it becomes the Magic Bullet.
And then he goes, I'll be honest, I think Meatball.
Hulkamania Meatball Maker.
Agent goes, I got this Meatball Maker.
It pounds the meatballs when you clench arm muscles and press fists together.
Well, that's fantastic.
I want the Hulkamania Meatball Maker.
That's what it was called.
Oh, no.
And then he passed on the Foreman Grill. Yeah, because it was called. Oh, no. And then he passed
on the forming room.
Yeah, because people
are just dying
to make meatballs.
Does it say what the blender
is by any chance?
No.
Not that I saw.
Okay.
It would be funny
if it was the magic bullet.
Yeah.
By Magic Johnson.
It's like his,
it's his thing.
Oh, that's his other client?
Yeah.
Oh, man,
that would have been so funny.
I'll do the meatball maker.
It just doesn't even sound fun.
No.
If you could have the Nate Bargetzi whatever.
Appliance?
Do you know what it would be?
It doesn't have to be an appliance.
A meatball maker?
It's an appliance episode, though.
Maybe it should be an appliance.
You're right.
Maybe we should dial it in.
Yeah.
Zero.
I don't know.
I've already got an Aaron Weber grill.
I can't do that.
Yeah, Weber grill.
Yeah.
Well, you can't do the Weber grill.
That's what I'm saying.
I can't.
So what else would you do?
I don't know.
A bread maker maybe?
A crock pot.
It would have to be Aaron.
It couldn't be Weber because then it would just sound like the Weber.
Right.
It could be Crockpot, something slow, hard to grab ahold of.
Yeah.
Aaron Air Fryer.
So I guess Crock is a brand.
Oh.
I think I thought Brian quit.
It's a slow cooker.
a brand.
I think I thought Brian quit. It's a slow cooker.
A slow cooker is the
and then a crock pot
is a brand. But it's like Kleenex.
Yes.
Yes.

One of them, a Ginzu, I think, could cut through a shoe.
Yeah, they were cutting coins, I thought.
Yeah, maybe.
That's too much.
I mean, that's a lot.
Yeah, if you cut a coin, that's sharp.
Yeah.
That's a strong sword.
Yeah.
Yeah.

And then I would be like,
okay,
and here's $5 or a dollar.
See you later.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would pay for it to stop asking me.
Cause I feel like they're always asking.
This guy's name was Offer Shlomi.
And he changed his name to Vince Offer.
Vince Offer sounds like a salesman.

Exactly.

The whole boat is Flex Seal.
Yeah, I wouldn't trust it, but.

I mean, at first it was like, all right, we're covering the whole of the boat.
He's like, we're going to take the screen door. Well, yeah, it was like alright we're covering the whole of the boat he's like we're going to take the screen door

Phil Swift is keeping his legacy alive.
He makes an entire boat out of this.
Okay.
I'm going to wait.
We're going to see it.
Yeah.
Because it comes.
And I mean, he's just cruising.
He's cheesing with that smile, dude.
No more of that.
You put that on
there he knows he's sitting on a way a lot of bad don't use a lot of tape all sloppily use it neatly

he got a flight seal boat that's what i'm talking about man yeah and he's great dude he's
got a little speed too i mean there's no way dude like i mean out of the boat frame like the whole
you want to go you got to be like he gets up out of that it's just his shoes are soaked yeah
all that stuff but yeah i mean they went as far as first they'd be like
look at this we got a hole in this boat i'll just put this on there and you're like okay
and then now he's just like i'm just on the just build i'm on the seas
i'm going out you can see you see uh that deep sea fishing you just see him out there
boat of tape yeah just a boat yeah why would you even buy a boat yeah tape. Yeah.
Why would you even buy a boat?
Yeah.
Just buy a frame and then buy.
Yeah, frames got to be the cheapest.
And then frames, what, 20, 30 bucks?
And then the tape, $19.99.
You'll need a better tape.
Yeah.
You're probably right.
And a motor.
Couple rolls. Yeah, and he's got a motor attached to this.
I mean, he's flying a motor attached to this.
I mean, he's flying.
That's probably all fake.
I don't know.
He just put a tarp over a boat.
The slow motion jump is crazy at the end there.
It's like they're telling you to build a boat out of this. I think he's just trying to demonstrate how good it is.
But with the slow motion jump, they're like, go go ahead and do this go ahead and build this boat you can yeah don't mess
around build this boat you got an old screen door at home yeah like that was the old date like i
mean that's how much he's come along like it's like all right the boat split in half i think
that one they cut the boat in half right and then he puts the tape down the middle all this i'm kind of like you're like okay and then straight up just builds a speed boat
not even that kind of boat that's like a one of those fishing boats yeah like he builds you know
yeah he built a the real deal he's doing jumps yeah he's got his little headset he's still talking
he jumped the shark this guy can do it all he. He's still talking. He jumped the shark.
This guy can do it all.
He's a captain.
He is the shark.
I don't know if he could jump.
Dude, he's... You make a boat, he's just like, yeah, we got a product that's...
And by the way, I've never heard anybody on earth use it.
Never seen it in person.
Me either.
Never seen...
It's still duct tape.
Well, I'm not really in
situations where a boat gets cut in half that often i feel like i've used some flex seal for
something but i don't remember what it was do you feel like there's actually a disservice
they they demonstrate its effectiveness with these scenarios you will never use in real i'll never
have to tape a boat back together in half right oh but i but i might need
tape to you know fix a chair or something what if it goes over words like duct tape you're like
yeah i could see it not working because you think i mean i don't need the tape to be that strong
yes like i'm not gonna not have this thing never give off the you know
like like putting a box together like was one of the demonstrations it's like i don't need
flex seal no regular tapes looking is working great yeah for the box yeah and what you got in
that box but then yeah but then that guy's like what if the box becomes the flex seal? Yeah. I might want to use this box later for a boat.
Yeah.
You know, you never know.
I might not have a boat frame, but.
I guess the boats, the box will not break is what it's saying.
Yeah.
Right.
You can load it up.
It's like, it's just not going to break.
How do you know?
Because I've made a boat out of it.
Yeah.
That's what he probably says a lot.
I don't know. Yeah. You ever made a boat out of it? You ever made a boat out of duct tape? I made a boat out of it. Yeah. That's what he probably says a lot. I don't know if it's that strong.
Yeah, you ever made a boat out of duct tape?
I made a boat out of tape.
Yeah, duct tape, please.
You think he has any duct tape at his house?
Oh, good.
He just comes right in.
What is this all about here?
I don't know.
He's having fun, though.
This guy seems to really like his job.
Yeah, he believes what he does. I like that. He's getting, he's having fun though. This guy seems to really like his job. Yeah. He likes, he believes what he does.

maybe sonic something
I've never
I've never had one
oh they tell you
what's it feel like
uh
it's like a
toothbrush like the dinner
you know when they do that little
yeah
spinny thing
I don't like that
uh it's not that it's don't like that it's not that
it's not just like that
it's better than that
but they tell you to use that
over brushing your teeth
yeah
they said use that
over a regular toothbrush
a vibrating one
yeah
electric one
that's how they would call it
I can't have another
I don't know if I'd go
yeah
the dentist would know
you say you make it
one of those vibrant
toothbrushes
I ain't doing that
and he goes
well I won't worry about it, sir.
You only have about eight teeth left.
He goes, there you go.
I went to the doctor the other day, and he told me to get a vibrating toothbrush.
You're like, you mean the dentist?
He goes, no, the doctor.
I was at the doctor's.
I got the tooth doctor.
He goes, get one of those vibrating toothbrushes.
I have so many electronic devices. He goes, get one of those dead gum vibrating toothbrush. I got one of you.
I have so many electronic devices as a part of my everyday life.
I can't have.
Where does it stop?
The toothbrush is now electric too?
What else is going to be electric?
Hey, this has been around for maybe 70 years. Has been around for a long time.
I've resisted. I've resisted.
I actually had that as a kid.
You had an electronic toothbrush?
Yeah.
What, it light up like a source of steam?
You don't even know how to.
Yeah, I feel like you don't even know how to describe it.
You sound like his age talking about this.
I know what it does.
It vibrates.
That's what an electronic toothbrush.
What else does it do?
When you charge it, it has one, The one I have has like a glass.
Why do you say it's an electronic toothbrush?
Electric toothbrush.
Oh, I must have been saying electronic.
Like it's going to light up.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
You just set it in the thing and it charges.
And I think that kind of spins.
It can spin, right?
So it's not just vibrating.
It's spinning too.
It does a little spin circle and then it vibrates.
Okay.
But the dentists say it's better on your gums.
It's because you're not, you know, I would brush my teeth so hard.
Yeah.
I think you would.
I think you do too.
Why do you think that?
I don't think you can stop, you know, it's like you're.
Bull in a china shop?
Yeah.
My brain thinks it's a fork.
Bull in a china shop like that.
I don't think you're
gonna you're gonna not a clutch you're just i'm not gentle is what you're saying yeah yeah okay
yeah there's some recreational appliances hot tub anybody got a hot tub hot tub and appliance
i don't know that's an appliance like is a pool table an appliance? Yeah, I don't know. A hot tub's not an appliance. I don't know. Let's call it a recreational
appliance.
They phoned it in over here.
Who has these
windows?
Windows?
Electronic windows.
You go tell me those vibrating
windows. I went over
to the doctor at Home Depot and he told me get one me those vibrating windows. I went over to the doctor at Home Depot
and he told me
get one of those electric windows.
What about a bike?
Electric e-bike?
What about that?
Oh, that was so good.
I don't even have a...
Are you sure that I have one?
Maybe in here, yeah.
Sure that I have one?
I folded it up.
Sorry about that.
I figured you'd already done that.
There's a stack of papers over here, dude.
Well, I got to tell you, you know what time of year it is?
Summer.
We have enjoyed being outside with longer days to ride our e-bike,
but summer's winding down.
Isn't that a bummer?
It is.
Electric e-bikes are gearing up for an endless summer.
Let's keep it going. Let's hop on the Electric XP 3.0, the most popular e-bike in America,
packed with premium features. It has both pedal assist, which is what I recommend,
and throttle functions. You can get one for only $999. That's a steal. I love our electric e-bike,
and all of you will too. It's a fun thing to have on the road-bike, and all of you will, too.
It's a fun thing to have on the road.
You fold it up.
You put it in the back of the car.
It can fit in your vehicle.
Trust me. You might think, oh, I don't have a pickup truck.
I can't fit an electric bike in my...
Well, you can.
They have quality feature-filled models financed as low as $73 per month, so it won't cost you a fortune.
A powerful removable battery that's easy to charge.
It's got
a bright lcd display and seven speed gearing over 250 000 riders are on the road so far
let's join hitters but i think you're in the kitchen and i think once you leave the kitchen
you think well it's an iron but then you think laundry those are applied you don't washer and
dryer those are true right yeah and the steamer is typically going to be in the laundry room.
Yeah, but that's its own thing.
It doesn't get to be with the –
Washer and dryer is too – it's a big thing.
I think they're playing in different leagues.
I think they're very big.
So I think when you think appliances, it's a giant thing.
I think in the lows, they'll have a small appliances section.
Yeah. So maybe we should just classify a small appliances section. Yeah.
So maybe we should just classify it.
Small appliances.
Yeah.
So there's a vision.
This episode should have been all small appliances and not appliances episode two.
That's true.
We should.
Well, we can still change it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We'll see.
Yeah, we'll see.
It was really just a joke.
It didn't land and then it felt like
it got taken very seriously
it was too good of a point
yes
rice cooker
rice cooker
I got a instapot
that's what we put the rice in
I have one never used it couldn't figure out how to set it up
gave up
got mad put it back in the box, put it in the closet
I only use it for rice
But it's really great for that
That's what everybody says
You put it in, it's zero work
You just push a button and it works
I can't figure it out
You didn't like it
I like the idea of it
We got one as a wedding present
It was on our registry
Somebody got us one and I can't figure it out.
I give up real quick.
I get mad when I can't figure out a rice pot.
Yeah.
I feel bad about myself.
Yeah.
You're going to make a good father one day.
You're already doing the stuff like a father gets mad at.
Yeah.
He goes, then put it away.
We're not getting rice.
We don't care about rice. We like rice in this house. Yeah. Dust goes, then put it away. We're not getting rice.
We don't care about rice. We like rice in this house.
Yeah.
Dusty, do you have a-
But what if his Chinese brother comes over?
Yeah.
And wants some rice.
Exactly.
What are you going to do?
Make the old-fashioned one?
Uh-huh.
Have Lucy do it?
Probably.
That's the old-fashioned one.
That is the old-fashioned one.
All right.
Do you have a diaper genie?
I don't know what that is, but I don't think so.
How does Hannah dispose of the diapers?
We have, well, maybe we do have that.
Actually, yeah, now I'm seeing, I don't think it's that name brand,
but we have a cylinder container with a lid,
and you stuff it down in there,
and it kind of sucks it up into a plastic bag.
Yeah, I think we had one.
Dusty uses the word cylindrical, and nobody bats an eye.
Did he?
He said cylinder.
He said cylinder, but he meant cylindrical.
Yeah, but cylinder sounds, but I still, I mean, I don't care for any of it, but cylinder's a little more.
Okay.
That's keeping it simple.
That's a good guy. That's a trailer park guy
that came into a little money.
It's a cylinder now.
What are you doing cylinder for?
It's like a big beer can.
There you go. A tall boy.
I don't think it's called
a diaper genie, but
we got that.
That would be an appliance, right?
See, I wouldn't call that an appliance.
That's like a trash can. You don't call a trash can an appliance.
Yeah, because there's no electronics to it.
You call it a trash can appliance?
If it's an electric trash can?
Yeah, vibrating.
I think it's got to have some kind of moving part.
Doesn't have to be electric.
Mechanical parts to it.
Or does it? I don't think so.
Does an appliance have to be electric? Can you name one that's not
electric? Coffee grinder? A stove?
Stove's electric.
Well, if you got gas... Or gas.
Oh, well, it's got to be powered by something.
Now, people said, I think last
episode you talked about how that thing underneath
a grill.
You don't count it as an appliance, though.
I don't know if a grill counts. Yeah, I don't think I would count a grill. A grill is a grill. You think't count it as a appliance, though. I don't know if a grill counts.
I don't think I would count a grill as a appliance.
A grill is a grill.
You think grill is an appliance?
I would say no.
George Foreman grill is.
That's true.
George Foreman grill.
All right.
You know all about them.
Yeah, I was talking about the proving drawer at the bottom of the...
Yeah, apparently people said that's for keeping food warm.
Wait, that's what you said.
Yeah, I had heard that. I've never used it for that purpose, but I heard that. I guess it's only if it's wait that's what you said yeah i had heard that i've never used it for
that purpose but i heard that i guess it's only if it's gas grills they said if it's electric
that's not the case oh okay so it's just storage if it's electric i guess okay but they kept it
because people like it but do you think in old days when indoor plumbing first happened a toilet
was an appliance i think it was a luxury item yeah does that have anything to do
with what's an appliance and what's just i don't think it's an appliance i don't think it is i
think it's just a fixture in the house it's furniture yeah it's furniture a toilet's like
a chair right it's gotta be more than furniture i don't think you go to the furniture shop
and they're like hey guys let's see your toilet section. Excuse me.
Ashley Furniture, I'd like to head over to your toilet section.
They might have them there. Have you ever used a toilet with the padded seats?
Yeah.
I don't care for it.
I don't like it either.
I always liked it.
Oh, do you like it?
I didn't mind it.
It's probably nice to...
If it's your own home.
It's like a boat.
Yeah.
If somebody else has got one, great.
Yeah.
But if you got to deal with the upkeep, I bet it's not fun.
What's the upkeep?
Yeah, what's going on?
I mean, I imagine it's...
I mean, you got to wait a couple of days for it to get back to form.
Memory foam.
You got to fluff it.
It's a dead gum thingy. It's all bent out of shape.
Lucy's like, Aaron!
I know who's been in here!
Told you to use the other bathroom.
It's got an air pump.
It's like your shoes.
You got to pump it back up.
I'm not familiar with it
I don't know what I'm talking about
I don't know what the upkeep is
I just meant cleaning
Like you don't tell me that's not going to be
A little more complicated
To like
Well like that
Like what is going on
It's so much more complicated
Like a towel
I wouldn't use that at all Some of those are pretty big though That wouldn't be Like what is going on? That's so much more complicated than, or, you know, stuff like that. Yeah, like a towel.
I wouldn't use that at all.
Some of those are pretty big, though.
That wouldn't be.
That's pretty high up to be like, that's brutal, dude.
I mean, that's.
You're like, what is that?
Like, that's crazy.
Your legs are dangling. That's a good two feet before you even get to where it needs to go.
I mean, that's. That's a plop. Yeah, that's a good two feet before you even get to where it needs to go i mean that's that's a plop yeah that's that's like you gotta that one's when you bring in your backpack
and you go i got mine he goes you got toilet he goes you can use their toilet i got my own seat
don't worry about it and you pull out your own toilet i'm talking about like this one see it's
like plush yeah yeah now i imagine cleaning it's going to be a little more complicated.
I think you just wipe it down.
What are you trying to do?
Then why doesn't everyone have these?
I mean, I think people could feel like they feel gross because it's like you're...
Yeah, but I mean...
The feeling more than the actual cleaners.
I don't really want to get that comfortable in there.
I just want to do what I'm there to do and get on out.
You probably have a bidet, I'm guessing.
Well, I'd like to get a bidet.
I've been thinking about it.
You do like garden hose right now?
Yeah.
I was reading about toilet paper.
Out in his garden.
It's not good.
What's wrong with toilet paper?
What do you do with-
There's some chemicals in there and you absorb it.
Dude, if we went to your house right now, we see a garden hose coming through the window.
Windows never shut all the way.
Yeah.
It goes under your bed.
It goes in the toilet.
I got my grounding cord coming out.
I got a lot coming in and out.
A lot coming in and out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How many doors do you think you have actually closed?
Well, you know, that is funny.
In the trailer, you know, we had a corded phone.
And everybody, people would come over and use the phone,
but had a real long cord.
So they would go outside to get their own privacy.
The door closed.
It's just got a little gap at the bottom.
Different times, man.
People come over to use your landline.
Yeah.
That's insane.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Because you had them.
Yeah.
Because we had one and a lot of people didn't.
So they'd be like, can I borrow your phone?
So are you just fielding calls from people at the park all the time?
I don't.
I was a kid, so I wasn't doing it.
My mom might have been doing it.
I remember getting my first caller ID box.
Was that, did that be an appliance?
No.
And out of all the ones that's when we go, all right, I'll let that one go.
You remember that though?
The caller ID box where you had the, and it's like the first time somebody called you knew who it was.
I would, yeah.
My mom still has a landline and an answer machine,
and it shows you who's calling.
What's her answer machine message sound like?
About what you'd imagine.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Old lady.
This is the Bates residence.
We can't come to the phone right now.
My mom just remade hers, and it goes,
I'm busy, you know what to do.
And I'm like, that's not even who my mom is.
Yeah.
I don't know why she's doing that.
That's her voice.
Maybe she's being funny.
Maybe.
Yeah.
I'm busy.
You know what to do.
I think, yeah, it's starting to be, you don't even, nah, you just let it go to the automatic thing.
Yeah.
I don't think people even do it anymore.
Yeah.
These are the reviews thing. Yeah. I don't think people even do it anymore. Yeah. The reviews on this toilet seat discolors after some time in the shape of your body outline.
Looks like an ink stain, kind of bluish gray color.
Can't be cleaned with anything, even rubbing alcohol.
Padding almost useless.
I'm 160 pounds and the padding is so squished.
You might as well be sitting on a regular toilet seat.
Yeah. That was written by the dude.
Yeah.
That's his name.
Yeah.
160 pounds.
Sure.
Yeah.
160 pounds.
It goes right side of that.
Upper body's 160.
Yeah.
That's all that's getting put on there.
I'm going to look for a higher quality pad.
The one like I had before lasted years.
Uh, All right.
We did it.
You all right?
Yeah, I'm good.
I think we're good.
That was fun.
