Starting point is 00:02:20 he's a billionaire comics unleashed yeah he is a billionaire the guy made a billion dollars I think he owns the weather chat yeah he owns the weather he's comics billionaire comics i'm lazy yeah he is a guy made a billion dollars i think he owns the weather chat yeah he owns the weather he he's uh comics unleashed yes i've done comics yeah
Starting point is 00:02:30 and i've done comedy.tv was another thing he produced but comics unleash is notoriously known for uh have we talked about on here i don't think so it was like everybody knows what it if they don't know the name they know what comics Comics Unleashed is. So if you ever watch, it comes on ABC, I think ABC or something like late at night. I'm on the comedy.tv. It was on CBS originally, or it's syndicated. Syndicated. Yeah, yeah. So Byron Allen, a brilliant dude.
Starting point is 00:03:00 And he's a comedian. Byron Allen folks. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's one of us. He's one of the folks. And he's a comedian. And he. Byron Allen Folks. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's one of us. He's one of the folks. That's his last name, dude.
Starting point is 00:03:14 So who was that? Byron Allen Folks. Byron Allen Folks. Yeah. So, yeah, 62, which is insane. He's very young. I mean, that guy has been successful for a long time. I remember him on Real People 40 years ago. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:31 It was a show on NBC, and he was one of the correspondents. But what did people ever say? 40 years ago. We knew you from... I don't know if that makes him sound older or you. Both. Did people ever say, like, oh, i know you from like uh comedy central uh no the comedy central would have been i'm trying to think when i got on comedy central i think comedy central was
Starting point is 00:03:56 still kind of like people are still kind of watching it yeah yeah but you would never sell a club out like but you would from it it's all like uh i think more now it's like kind of just like i've been following you since someone will be like i've been following you since i saw you on comedy central but your amount of fans that's what i mean was nobody what was your premise on that so when he hosts this show it's notoriously like he just would out of nowhere it's like on a couch yeah and then he just goes around and so he's setting you up for jokes so you have a joke and let's say john has a joke about sharks yeah and then aaron finishes his joke about mattresses yeah and so aaron gets done and we're like ah that's great aaron
Starting point is 00:04:36 john you've been shark diving before and then you just tease you up just out of nowhere yeah and it says the it's it's, it's like very fun and funny. I did do it. And all the other comics have to laugh at the other comics. Yeah, you're doing their acts. It's doing radio. Bob and Tom is the same. Like they kind of set you up and go, how was school today?
Starting point is 00:04:58 School's good. I've been going to school. My daughter's in school. You know, you can get into your joke. But he would just make quick. It was so quick. Like, you know, it'd be like, oh, that's great that's great he goes john you're scared of clowns right and then you're like what and then you'd almost sometimes like go oh i have a clown joke it would come at you
Starting point is 00:05:16 so random that you forget that you have the joke because the way he would word it, it was so good that he would sneak in there and be like, that's crazy. Yeah, I don't think if you're not in comedy, I don't think you would piece this together. No, no. It was like choppy. Even when you're sitting there, it's hard because you're listening to a guy talk about his pet dog. His bit. And you're kind of really listening to him. Then out of nowhere, you're just like, you sleep with a gravity blanket blanket and i go i do what i go i've never oh yeah so gravity blankets
Starting point is 00:05:50 what's the deal you get real defensive at first what's the matter you i don't ever slept with gravity oh uh oh i have 10 minutes on gravity blankets yeah and you can't as a walmart you can't get in on the other guy's bit, right? It's his act. Yeah, you don't go, wait, what? There's no, like, you just let him go. Because the person's doing their act. So, like, when you would do Bob and Tom, you're doing your full, I'm trying to think, like, you know.
Starting point is 00:06:21 I still watch it. It still comes out. Yeah. Olivia, like my Olivia Jo, I can't even remember how to say it. But, like, you know. It's like you play It still comes out. Olivia, like my Olivia joke. I can't even remember how to say it. But like, you know. It's like you play golf, right? You play golf, right?
Starting point is 00:06:29 I did play golf the other day. I was golfing. I went out and I'd say, Olivia, and I'd do that joke. That's how. That's like panel on TV. Well, what's the difference? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Everything's setting everybody up.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Yeah. Truthfully. Like when you go do this stuff everybody as a comic even the celebrities they're told beforehand unless it's like a real real interview and you do a pre-interview uh you know howard stern type interview or a long interview like they would talk to you then you that then the that interviewer takes you where you want to go yeah but other ones you say like hey i have a funny story about there it is i can't oh yeah i can't find a higher resolution picture of this but here's you on the on the panel
Starting point is 00:07:10 here who is that who else was on there it's john hitton i believe uh uh i know i'm blanking on her name esther yeah yeah yeah and that's the the guy from uh uh all the way on the all the way on the uh what's the comic for super troopers yeah carlos or uh maybe carlos and but yeah it was it was super fun i mean i was like i was glad to do it it is he's done really good for comics i mean i'm not trash he's probably helped a lot he's really helped a lot that That guy's a smart dude, a business dude. I mean, really brilliant. I think he tried to buy the Broncos. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:52 I mean, who thinks to buy the WeatherShare? I mean, it's just so good. Yeah, he would just do ads, do these things. So good for him. Billionaire is tough. I mean, yeah. That's so – it's a thousand million. Yeah. It is.
Starting point is 00:08:05 It's a thousand million. Yeah. It is. It's a thousand million. Think about like 457 million. Yeah. And then another 500. Not even halfway there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's crazy. So many millions.
Starting point is 00:08:18 It's a dusty vibe. I like how, yeah. Is it, you drive stick shift, right? Oh, yeah. So stick shifts are crazy because if I had a bit. I mean, it's, yeah. Is it, you drive stick shift, right? Oh, yeah. So stick shifts are crazy because if I had a bit. I mean, it's, yeah. If John was on there, he would have to lay down on the floor. It's like, hey, I got to have this.
Starting point is 00:08:32 Can you actually, I'm standing. Can I have two seats? I see standing. Can I have a love seat? You have to ask for a love seat. He's like, do you have props now? He just needs room to lay down. He's like, do you have props now?
Starting point is 00:08:44 He just needs room to lay down. But if it's inside a place, like if it's with a studio, they laugh. Oh, yeah. Like they just laugh. Yeah, well, then the person does a joke, you know? It's sitting there. But you couldn't bomb on that. Yeah. Aaron, you just bought a pumpkin, right?
Starting point is 00:09:02 And then you're... I mean, it's when you... That's what it is yeah people are gonna watch it it's it's not it's like on the tv like if you turn on the hotel tv and it's on the last channel from like the news or the game and it's like that's whenever i would see it's on every night comedy.tv when i recorded oh they have their own channel now yeah it's just that show well no no the show was called Comedy.TV. Okay, okay, yeah, yeah. Which, I mean, is not the greatest.
Starting point is 00:09:28 I have a Comcast. There's a comedy channel. And it's all just Comics Unleashed or Comedy.TV. Oh, Comics Unleashed. So I'm on Comedy.TV. And when I recorded with Keith Alrestad, he did a thing where he were, Byron and I recorded just a-
Starting point is 00:09:42 He probably owns that. Oh, yeah. So now I guess he owns comedy so the first show was comedy.tv yeah Alan Media Group that's crazy
Starting point is 00:09:50 oh yeah dude oh that's him I mean let's go let's go John Roy first comic I remember him
Starting point is 00:09:59 really met and saw when that was a big comic yeah yeah well it's just kind of like you know how if you're like, we had this discussion the other day, if you're like Miss Alabama, like how many years after are you allowed to leave that in your Instagram bio?
Starting point is 00:10:17 Or I think that just, that follows you the rest of your life. Okay, Miss Davidson. What about Miss Davidson County? Miss Davidson County, 1984. You got to take that. Yeah. If you're a county, I think that's – I don't even know if you put it in there to begin with. You don't leave with it.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Yeah. Or if you're like Miss – I mean, Davidson's a big county. It depends on, I guess, how big. But Miss Alabama, I think you know. Forever? Miss Alabama forever. Your husband's going to introduce you as Miss Alabama for the rest of your life.
Starting point is 00:10:45 That's a credit you can have. Yeah. When do you stop with the Comics Unleashed credit is what I'm saying. Well, you hope that you get to stop with it. That's the key. I still have them, but it's not in my top. You get to stop when you top it. But so you got to hope that you can figure out a new thing. Did you ever have to like when you top it but so you gotta hope that you can you know figure out a new
Starting point is 00:11:06 did you ever have to like when you were like you would say this podcast over of course comedy.tv like you can you gotta have something you did gotham comedy live but you probably don't mention that much anymore nah it doesn't come up nah yeah it doesn't but i had it for a while i had it for a long time you did did Gotham. Yeah. And on, uh, it was on, uh, access or whatever. It's when it's off comedy central. When Louie Anderson hosts. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Uh, yeah. The comedy.tv I recorded my set and I remember they kept the same audience. They would pay an audience like a lot of these tapings. Uh, so if it's a big show, it's, I mean,
Starting point is 00:11:41 they don't have to pay, but when it's not big shows, so they pay an audience, they recorded like nine shows. I think Whitney Cummins hosted them. Uh, Bonnie McFarland might host one too. And,
Starting point is 00:11:51 uh, so by the time I went up, it was towards the end, like eight shows in or something. I mean, this crowd is not even paying. There's no life support. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:00 They would laugh. Why don't you walk that? They would laugh. And, and, but it was such a fake laugh. They were laughing at all the wrong part. Like it was a robot.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Like you're not, they're just, so you just couldn't, you were like, well, y'all are laughing at that. Then they would not. And I remember just seeing one guy just with the stairs of their face,
Starting point is 00:12:19 the whole show, never smiled. I can still see him right now. He had a big kind of long fro head hair and it was like almost like uh what's the simpsons uh sasho bob or whatever yeah yeah his hair was like just kind of big like that and i remember just he just sat in his chair and just stared at me why am i here i mean it's like in a studio in Burbank at like 3.30 in the afternoon. And he's been there for four hours.
Starting point is 00:12:48 He's going to make $80. Oh, they paid the crowd. Yeah, yeah. You know, when you first start taping stuff, I mean, my full-time magic on Comedy Central, the crowd was paid to be there. And then live Gotham would have been paid. Yeah, they were paid.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Because you couldn't have. But it's like. stand-up wasn't as much of a draw i would think if you take that stuff now it's a little stand-up's a lot more of a draw where people are like they know stand-up is a thing to go to it's like in that cultural lexicon stand-up is yeah but then it wasn't i just taped a uh don't tell comedy special that i think comes out this week. It's like a shorter. Can you tell? I can tell now. All right. But during the warmup comedian set,
Starting point is 00:13:30 it was really interesting to watch them. They were looking at the crowd of like who, who had just a bad face sitting in front, moved them. And then right before me, they took, they just like pick them up and moved them to the back of the crowd. Somebody was laughing.
Starting point is 00:13:43 They look nice. You come up and sit in the front. So they did all that. Yeah. First ruler roadside beat sales. What's that? Dwight Schrute. You remember when he,
Starting point is 00:13:51 they had that press conference and he moved the Phyllis and Stanley and the back and move the hot girls up front. That's what they did for sure. We did that in our, in our spec. And when that guy, we can do promo at our show. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:14:04 Hey, get like, like attractive people laughing. Like, that in our in our spec and that when that guy we can do promo at our show and i was like hey get like like attractive people laughing like yeah this is what you say to the crowd on stage i tell my video guy i go hey like it like i don't know is that a is that a bad thing to say no hey no i mean it's it is what it is it's videos tv it's like that's everything is gonna do it you just want people laughing but yeah my buddy up in uh it's one of my best friends buddy i think in chicago he went to a comedy show and then they were like filming it and he was like laughing at like another joke that wasn't that joke and then they put him in laughing at that
Starting point is 00:14:46 joke and i think he got fired from his job when the special no he's in the crowd oh because you go to the crowd shots and it was like some kind of topic that was like way like very inflammatory and they took a laugh from his other time from like and i think he got fired from his job. Whoa. Well, they would, when you would do specials too. He got canceled. He got canceled from the crowd from laughing too. From laughing at probably a regular joke.
Starting point is 00:15:15 He's like, I wasn't even there for that. That was last Tuesday. I was even at that show, dude. The comms, they would, when you did a half hour on Comedian Show, they would edit it sometimes weird because the person
Starting point is 00:15:29 would not care. So you would like, you could have a call. There's comics that would have a callback, but they don't ever play the original part. So you could just be
Starting point is 00:15:40 towards the end of the set, you see them go bananas and everybody's like, blah! And you're like, what did I miss that part? And at home, people are like, what? Cause they missed the beginning that said, Hey, something about bananas.
Starting point is 00:15:54 So they just at home, you're like, what? What is that guy talking about? But the guy that, the guy that probably edited it, like didn't, you don't get to say, they don't get, they don't ask you. They would come out and say uh right when you got done i mean i remember taping it dude you walk uh me and chelsea peretti tape the same night together and we when you right when you walk out i don't know that they're even going to do this they go uh it's so just kind of businessy i mean they were very like these were big moments of my life but someone just comes over, because you just met with, like,
Starting point is 00:16:26 I can't believe I'm on TV. I can't believe I'm doing this Comedy Central Presents. Like, I've watched these. It's crazy. And you get done doing it. You walk off. You're like, oh, man, that went crazy. And someone's like, rank your jokes one through ten.
Starting point is 00:16:35 And I'm like, what? Like a guy with a clipboard. Yeah. And he's like, just rank them. And, I mean, you've got to rank them before you get to the other side of the stage. Whoa. Like, kind of just being like, all right, I want this one in for sure. This one, you know.
Starting point is 00:16:47 But you kind of, it is probably the best time to ask. I think I would have liked to just know beforehand. Hey, afterwards, you know, you remember what jokes you think. Like just say it.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Or we're going to send you a raw like Dropbox tomorrow. Just send us back. I don't think Dropbox was invented. What do you think? 2010? invented. What do you think? 2010? No. What do you think the average person,
Starting point is 00:17:10 you probably talked about this before, what do you think the average person thinks you would get paid to be on The Tonight Show? Like 10 grand? 20 grand? I don't know now that it's The Tonight Show. Like a band? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:27 There's part of me, honestly, that thinks people might think you don't get paid just because oh yeah maybe it's you're going on to advertise yeah like you're selling your show you know like whatever yeah yeah but if you're a comic you get paid i think you get paid like. You get paid whatever the union thing is. So there's no. Oh, yeah. It's not filming right now. No. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:48 And it has been for a long time. But they're. But it's still on. They're doing reruns, right? But it's like from a different time. I mean, most people. Like, I did a Conan. I guess it doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:18:00 I did a Conan. I had TV credits and still had a day job. Like, I did. I had a Live at Gotham. Because Live at Gotham you made. 600 bucks. Yeah. I think we made 15.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Yeah, maybe. But it was like whatever you make. But you'd have to go. Because then you're like, man, I'm going to get. Gosh. What if I get. Yeah, I did Conan. Just go back to your regular job the next day.
Starting point is 00:18:20 And then you're like, God, someone's going. You just think someone's going to recognize. Hey, were you on Conan last night? You're just working. Like in the street. Like in the subway or something. No, I thought that's my job. And then you're like, God, if someone's going to, you just think someone's going to recognize, hey, were you on Conan last night? And you're just working. Like in the street, like in the subway or something. No, I thought that at my job. I had one job where I worked in the Kravitz Center, I think that's what it's called, in New York. And I was just, I had a t-shirt that had like a question mark on it.
Starting point is 00:18:38 And you worked conventions. So someone's supposed to just come up to you and be like, hey, do you know where the bathroom is? Do you know where this is at? And you just are there to point at this stuff and so it was like i was doing that like after and i remember just all day i was like i was on tv last night and not one person asked me if i was on tv last they asked you where the bathroom was where the bathroom not one person asked there hey have you were on tv last were you on tv oh yeah i guess i'll always get asked this probably my entire life,
Starting point is 00:19:06 but this weekend I had a great set, got off stage, and the guys said, now, do you do comedy full time? Oh, really? Yeah. I've always been asked that. I thought it would go away. I like that. I like that.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Yeah, when you get asked. Why do you like that? Because they don't assume. They think you're dumb. I don't mind that at all. You don't mind people thinking you're dumb? No, they mind i don't mind that at all you don't mind people thinking you're dumb no they're just thinking i'm assuming about like what we do yeah i don't have any problem with that really there's like like if you think we're i'm in the
Starting point is 00:19:33 perfect position if you think that i do other stuff because you don't want people to like because it makes you look like uh it probably a regular guy. I think it hurts more for someone that is barely doing it for a living. Sorry. I mean, I don't know how not to do it. Yeah, exactly. How do I not say that? You should have done it. I didn't want to do that.
Starting point is 00:19:58 I was going to say it if he didn't. I don't know. We get from our booking at johnchriscomedy.com. And someone's like, hey, we saw you last night. Our youth group has a lock-in next fall. I like that you saw what I did and you thought I would do that. Can you forward me that email? Yeah, I'll do it.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Yeah, you're still going to. Can you forward me that email? Yeah, sorry. I'll do it. Yeah, you're still going to. I think most of, I think my agents get tons of offers that are just insane where someone's like, can you come to my house for $300 and all this. That's good. It's not, it means you, people, you know, I don't, people just have no idea. No idea.
Starting point is 00:20:40 And so, yeah, you're going to get that kind of stuff. idea yeah uh so yeah you're gonna get that kind of stuff i still i've had a like a but it'll be like someone i don't know that doesn't know me at all like there's really have now where people no one's gonna say you do it full time but i still have people they're like this is what you do like this is when they don't know you at all and they just find out you're a comic it's like uh that kind of stuff yeah but it gets it was i remember it being because they would just say it kind of down it was kind of like yeah it wasn't like man and this is like you're uh you know you see you could be like obviously it's your full-time get you know you just want to son yeah it's a tough thing to ask but it's always asked is like you
Starting point is 00:21:21 do this full time like i'm notching notching you down somehow and you're like all right man like yeah you know the only thing we said you go out you go you just saw the show he goes i know i did just see the show this is what you do huh yeah what here's 50 bucks people pay for this yeah okay all right i guess it's new every day is it yeah but the things that you're like joking about are very like regular things
Starting point is 00:21:50 like eating McDonald's or like those are things that like rich people don't do do they
Starting point is 00:21:56 what's your point John remember when we had that show the golf course yeah the very first we like

The very first. Legends? Yeah. Yeah. I was doing these jokes. I had these jokes about fast food. And then it's all the people at the golf course that are members of the country club. And I go, I was at McDonald's. And I go, McDonald's is like a, you know, like a restaurant.
Starting point is 00:22:17 And it was like hilarious because they were. They owned some McDonald's. Yeah. It's like a place where like people you ever seen, they were like, ugh. That place. Yeah. But they would still assume that about you. That mean all of us yeah i didn't think i go to me i do go to me but well i said somebody somebody uh ordered one of the guys in the crew ordered uh uber eats to the tour bus this weekend. And I was like, he was going to go out.
Starting point is 00:22:51 And I go, hey, give them also this $20. Tip them also this. Because they're definitely going to go, who's in that bus on the way home? And think it's you who ordered it. And me, I go, hey, also tip this. Yes. Because it's going to come back on me always. Yeah, John Chris tipped a dollar. It's a jerk delivery.
Starting point is 00:23:13 You just want to share that story about tipping a dollar? No, I just tried to get that in. Well, I had a couple other things. That was the main thing I wanted to say. I didn't give him the hundreds I had. Whatever else he has to talk about as long as I got that in. They ordered $500 worth of food. For 20 bucks.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Where were you at? I was in Atlanta. Oh, yeah. I did a show for Dunwoody Christian School. Had to wear a suit for the first time. Wow.
Starting point is 00:23:37 On stage? Dang, dude. How'd you like that? First, I did not like it, but I got used to it. Yeah. How long were you up there? There you go. First, I did not like it, but I got used to it. Yeah. How long were you up there?
Starting point is 00:23:51 This is like the jokes. These are the jokes. 12 minutes. Yeah. You know, first didn't care for it, but then I really settled in there towards the end. This weekend, he's out in a suit. Yeah. I would love to wear a suit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Well, you could. Nobody's stopping you. But that would go against the thing. I think it would change go against i think it would change everything i think i'll change everything it's the shoes i could as i get older my uh i don't you probably have like cool comfy shoes with a suit i just had these very tight dress shoes that were very uncomfortable and i was slipping around up there i do a lot why did you have to wear a suit it was a soiree event i didn't know what a soiree was it sounds a soiree yeah oh yeah i mean there's a party i don't know but apparently but i said it looked like it was kind of fancy so i emailed the lady two days before and i said hey just what's the tire for so you didn't have to wear a suit and she said um and i thought maybe i should wear sports because
Starting point is 00:24:41 she said um it's a cocktail dress event. So she said, you don't have to wear tux, but a suit will be fine. Were they wearing tuxes? That's a tough position. No. The headmaster was wearing a tux and maybe one other person. Everybody else had suits on. You probably looked just like a teacher there.
Starting point is 00:24:57 But you walked in with a suit. I did. I mean, you had to. The audience is like, guys, he wore a t-shirt as a comedian? You do comedy full time? That was what, it was the lady who hired me.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Yeah. Yeah, but I always say, I always say that about like whatever, I was like, yeah, but I'm the comedian.
Starting point is 00:25:15 So I don't, well, I'm not in these rules. You, you, you, that's a, that's a true argument
Starting point is 00:25:21 because that, that can be done. I always, I feel uncomfortable about like, sometimes I i feel uncomfortable about like sometimes i'll feel uncomfortable like everybody's really if everybody's wearing a suit i would want to know that i might not wear it where that happened and i might not wear it in houston yeah was i wearing a suit no but you you told one of your people yeah hey next time let me know yes i go
Starting point is 00:25:41 just tell me and i guess you might not wear a tie but i'd maybe wear a i would wear a uh pull you know i mean what is it the a coat a jacket yeah yeah i don't know it's a sports sports jacket you know it's more blazer a blazer yeah yeah that's clear there it is i would uh own one but i would have done that like just so you don't look like a buffoon right yeah and then i'm going up there in jeans and a jacket with a hoodie on, you know, and then you're like, oh, dude, I don't know where he's in Texas. But I've wore a suit on stage a few times. I definitely don't mind it. I would, you know, maybe once I pass 50, I'll flip into a suit.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Well, John Mulaney does. That's the only guy I know that, like, always does, right? Steve Byrne does. Steve Byrne wears a suit. Well, John Mulaney does. That's the only guy I know that always does, right? Steve Byrne does. Steve Byrne wears a suit. That's like part of the, like I know there's like all the comics that have like dresses like they're like bow tie. Mike Goodwin is like bow tie comedy or like I know the guy with the tie. I know that he was like in, what was he in Denver when I was coming up? It was the guy with the tie. I know that he was in Denver when I was coming up. It was the guy with the tie.
Starting point is 00:26:48 And he wore a vest. That was kind of the thing. Steve Hofstetter? Yeah, Hofstetter wears a tie. Yeah, it's part of your thing. There's another guy in New York. He's from Chattanooga, but he... I know it.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Pat Dixon. Pat Dixon. What did he wear? Suit. Yeah, he always wore a suit. Yeah. Yeah. But it's like, it's kind of part of the, like Derek, who comes out with us all the time.
Starting point is 00:27:10 We wear, it's a very, that's like part of like the jokes make more sense because of the outfit. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. You go, Oh, I, I, how he's dressed is what he is. He dresses like a JV strength coach. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And he's talking about kids being real Trent, not kids, but like when I was like that, it that lines up. Yeah. Yeah. And he's talking about kids being real Trent, not kids, but like when I was like that, it lines up. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:29 They did. Yeah. I would, I, my act, I never felt like a suit. That's a suit act. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Yeah. It's like, it didn't really feel like it's Brian. I think you get older. Yeah. It's smart. It's smart.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Yeah. Intelligent, intelligent, regal. He needs to show the audience that he has made money before. It's a suit I'll be buried in. Yeah. It's seen it all.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Emmys. Yeah. I want a suit that can do everything. Emmys, funeral show. One suit. Like Crane. Graduation. Graduation.
Starting point is 00:28:03 Where were you at? I was in Texas. I did a fun run all through texas dallas houston and then san antonio for the weekend that's a lot of people came out man yeah it was very fun dallas that club how come he's allowed to say that no one says anything to him and i said one thing about tipping 20 and i get crushed how he said a lot of people came out yeah uh because not we don't he's just starting to do that. Yeah. We're letting him have some run with it, you know? I did a club on a Wednesday night, John. I can say. So a lot of people came out.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Yeah. Look. He got made $20. There were some curtains closed all weekend. Oh, yeah. They were closing curtains. No. That's all right.
Starting point is 00:28:38 I love a curtain. They didn't even have a curtain. They wouldn't ball boy. Yeah. I did a curtain. I've had curtains closed. San Antonio, one show, they opened up the curtains. That's a good feeling.
Starting point is 00:28:47 Oh, yeah. Oh, that's nice. And then the next show, you're like, let's put them back up. Yeah. When I did PPG Arena, they had the top curtain on the very top row behind me. What a flex. I'm joking. Just behind.
Starting point is 00:29:00 It's not even Ford because they had the curtain. It was behind me, so no one was up there. because they had the curtain. It was behind me so no one was up there. But they had curtain clothes. No. Our famous curtain closing was Caroline's. Caroline's on Broadway. Wonderful club that closed down that breaks my heart. But they had a big curtain go down the middle.
Starting point is 00:29:19 So it could be like 300 people or it could be cut down to like 120 or something. And, I mean, it was just such a long you would just know when it's your time to go to the show and then just see someone just like carrying the curtains and it just being all shut down we're not getting it we'll be fine yeah what if a lot of walk-ups come trust me we're good we're good yeah yeah i think i had pipe and drape on curtains on the fifth row of one of my shows one time at a church. There was no, they put them in the fifth row. And I was like, yeah, but they came in from behind them. So they know this church is huge.
Starting point is 00:29:56 And they just put it right on the fifth row. The stage is deeper than the house. It's like, this doesn't help. Because I can put them on any row. Just because the church was whatever, 2,000 seats. And there was 60 people there, maybe. Wow. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:30:13 And you're like, just let's do it in another room. Yeah. Or just do it. Y'all just come sit on stage. Yeah. Just do it in the lobby and set the seats up. I've done a show where we just put the people on stage because there was that little people. Really?
Starting point is 00:30:25 Yeah. It was enough that it goes, we're just going to close the curtain completely. Yeah. The curtain on the stage and just set chairs up behind the curtain. And then you just do a show in front of those people in the stage. I've done a show that short. And then I did an arena in Canada. And then I did an arena in Canada.
Starting point is 00:30:48 And when you walk to it, so if you ever, you know, imagine going to any sold-out arena show, and the stage is at the very end, right? And then everybody sits out forward. If you've been to music, anything, you can picture that. Ours was set up like that, but I performed on the side. That's usually the thing that's closed it was yeah i walked in dude and my stage was just jammed up against the basic hockey ring like all as close as they could get it and you're just talking to like a very sporadic group of people they were
Starting point is 00:31:20 very wonderful but it was i remember the people that were there were great. I remember walking into the arena, and it took – usually from backstage, you're to the front pretty quickly. This one, they had multiple – Oh, you had to walk all across the – oh, yeah. They had multiple semi-trucks just parked backstage. That's how much room they had backstage. And, I mean, they could have made a turn. That's how – like, there wasn and i mean they could have made it they could have made a turn that's how like there wasn't yeah they wouldn't have had to back it they're like just swing it around hey we can turn all the way around yeah i heard somebody say
Starting point is 00:31:53 on a podcast i think recently they go if a comedian they go if i knew the successful comics if i knew i if i had to do it all over again i i couldn't knew i if i had to do it all over again i i couldn't like if you had i couldn't do it it was so yes all those all that stuff is so emotionally all those colleges and all those soirees like it's just so emotionally taxing that you go i couldn't do it that's true so many things in life yeah yeah i wouldn't i couldn't do it again no children yeah i think it's uh you children just we're talking about just something dumb and fun and just the weight of the world thrown over here just a gravity blanket gets dumped on the table i got a one half year old right now things are tough yeah bad news but do it again uh it's uh no but yeah it would be just because when you do it the
Starting point is 00:32:47 first time you can't believe you're even doing shows yeah so you're yeah you have no i mean stuff stuff still stuff hurts and it's brutal yeah but uh when you have when you're not selling when it doesn't really matter about selling tickets because you're just you're just out there point where yeah that's expected yeah you but to go to go back to that stuff now, I mean, it would break your heart. We did the Elkhart County Fair and all leading up to it, it's like we're selling average of what I sell in a city. And they were like, yeah, but it's… Did you ever do one with me?
Starting point is 00:33:20 I did the Washington State Fair. They were like, well, it's on the racetrack and there it's an 18 000 seats oh yeah like i go oh but we're selling well like three four thousand yeah and i you should be thrilled a ton yes a ton and i'm like for three months i go all my buddies are like dude we're coming i go don't come yeah it's it's so big it's it makes it so big yeah i did when i first did the san diego fair it was great but i was my stage was pushed all the way to the end of the grandstand yeah so you just they just push you all the way you wouldn't be in the middle you're just like yeah you're just like a corner of the grandstand because based on how many tickets they sold they set that stage that night
Starting point is 00:34:08 and how far basically yeah yeah probably a little bit before they knew yeah they were like i don't think we're about to have 10 000 walk-ups 10 000 people here yeah yeah so and it always ends up it probably always ends up everything you're stressed about it ends up great yeah the shows have a good fair always aren't good fairs are always it's fun fairs are hard because you think
Starting point is 00:34:27 because they are so big I mean it can be a stadium type thing where you do a fair where you want to go I don't know if I'm this famous to be doing some of these big
Starting point is 00:34:36 things thanks for putting me on the roster with all these other Keith Urban and like all these other monster acts yeah
Starting point is 00:34:42 but Alaska State Fair was great but that was like 3,000 or something like that which that's so many it was great urban and like all these other monster ads yeah but we were in the same place alaska state fair was great yeah but that was like 3 000 or something like that which is so many it was great how big was the thing it was about i mean it was packed where they where he did it was uh i'm sure they could make it yeah bigger but it was like very set up very well so just when everybody listening when they when somebody artist musician or community or comedian says, we added some more seats, that means they thought it was going to be this, and they just popped them back one section. Yeah. Right?
Starting point is 00:35:16 Well, whatever I say, a few tickets left. That means there's a lot of tickets. You'll have no trouble. I did radio, and they're like, hey, you're going to be at Houston. I need tickets left for the show. I was like, I think there's a lot of tickets. You'll have no trouble. I did radio and they're like, hey, you're going to be at Houston. I need tickets left for the show. I was like, I think there's a couple. Go fast.
Starting point is 00:35:31 A few too many. Tickets are going fast. The curtain. Are they? It's been on sale for six months. But usually some people say we just opened up tickets. Some of that is like you have comps and they release the comps.
Starting point is 00:35:44 It could be a sold out show that goes, we just opened up 12 tickets Some of that is like you have comps and they release the comps. It could be a sold out show that goes we just opened 12 tickets because of whatever. Doesn't Taylor Swift, I think she's she just puts them behind and they just have a screen behind in the stadium. I didn't see that. Is that true, Aaron? I don't know. Aaron? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:59 What did he go? You're her friend. No, he's her friend. They did it. His personal friend. I think behind, you're like, you can get in. They're less. She has like a thousand people show up just to stand outside the arena. You've seen those videos? That's insane. Like on the bridge.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Yeah. I mean, when we first started, we would just sleep on our buddy's couch. And now we all sleep on Helix mattresses. Oh, nice. Helix Sleep is our favorite premium mattress brand that provides tailored mattresses based on your unique sleep preferences the helix lineup offers 20 unique i keep looking at john for some reason 20 unique mattresses including the award-winning luxe collection the new helix elite collection a mattress designed for big and tall sleepers and even a mattress made just for
Starting point is 00:36:42 kids you gotta be watching you gotta be watching youtube for that you can sleep on the floor oh i sometimes i prefer to sleep on the floor it's straight up yeah but not when i have my helix mattress i wouldn't think of sleeping on the floor but sometimes hotel room weird bed you know yeah it's at 100 nights i don't think you need a night to figure out if the mattress is going to be the one for you you don't need 100 but they gave you a hundred. So many just to be nice. But yeah, that's like the, it's like the similar with the Domino's pizza. You know, they're like, if you're not satisfied with this pizza, send it back.
Starting point is 00:37:13 I go, no one that has received a pizza to their door, no matter what's on it. It's going to send it back. You're not sending it back for another hour to get a different, you're eating whatever. I'll eat whatever. That's why they say it. Yeah. Because it sounds like, oh, it's a great deal. Sending a mattress back.
Starting point is 00:37:30 It's a lot of work. Yeah. Somebody's got to come over. Folding it back up into that box. Vacuum seal it. Football comments. I'm going to read you guys comments. This is like a Byron Allen transfer.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Yeah. You play football right, Aaron? Well, we're going to edit all that nonsense y'all talked while I was gone. So I figured. No, I don't know. It seemed like it was fun. We were doing an ad read. No, it seemed like a good time.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Mark Grossman. If I could change a rule in the NFL, I would make kickoff field goals legal. That would require the kicker to get the ball over 75 yards deep and over 10 feet high to clear the crossbar. This could result in a team scoring up to 11 points on a drive and allow teams losing by a small margin to remain competitive. I don't mind that. A kickoff field goal.
Starting point is 00:38:23 But you'd have to have that. It's going to have to go back now they would make them all day you got to move the ball back a bit they're kicking them through the end zone so easy I know the accuracy is harder but you need to you'd have to move it back a little bit
Starting point is 00:38:40 and then you could just end up doing if you don't make it they get it at the 25 if you do make it they get it at the five or something some kind that's so has anyone ever done it yeah they they kick them through all the time i did a my drawbar came out uh oh yeah last week and came on thursday i had a corporate that night so i finally get back to my hotel room and i'm getting blown up with DMS from people.
Starting point is 00:39:06 I'm like, oh man, you pointed me for that. Yeah. You're the DM king, baby. This is what you do. DM all day.
Starting point is 00:39:23 But I'm thinking what my driver my drive-by is blowing up, and it's all people watching Thursday Night Football. Let me know that. You know what I'm going to say? The rule that I said about going through the end zone, I mean, everybody's like, you got to let Nate know. He said it never happens. Did he trash you for it?
Starting point is 00:39:42 Well, he just said it was a dumb rule because it never happens I don't agree with the rule yeah I mean I'm fine with not doing it but I was like I don't think that happens enough that it's like if I had to pick a rule
Starting point is 00:39:51 the next night the next night it happened the next night vindicated I think in some version it happens every every weekend
Starting point is 00:39:58 in college or pro yeah yeah I don't see it going through the end zone yeah and then it's a touchback. When you fumble it, it's a turnover touchback.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Oh, yeah. Because then everybody would just, the argument on the other side is everybody would just fumble it down the field. Yeah. But it should be, you shouldn't lose the ball. Yeah. It would be out of the one. Yeah. But I bet there's a way that, I bet it's kind of like you got to have your hands on it because then it could be like you could hit your hands and then you, you know, it's like, well, did you catch it?
Starting point is 00:40:28 Did you not? I'm sure there's a reason. But you're right. You're right. A lot of people calling for the exact same rule change too on Twitter. Yeah, that was the whole reason he brought it up. I know, but I'm saying a lot of people are saying let's change the rule instead of it just happened and people are not happy with it now. Maybe put it back on the 20,
Starting point is 00:40:45 but you still get to keep it. Because if you're out on the one, you have it at the one. If it goes in, the other team gets it at the 20. Yeah. Bates was right.
Starting point is 00:40:54 So no one watched my dry bar, but I felt better because I would much rather have this. Joshua Clay Lott. What are these? These are emails from listeners?
Starting point is 00:41:04 Comments. Like from Twitter, Instagram, YouTube. And emails. Yeah. Joshua Clay Lott. Put a crossbar at the top of the goalpost connecting the two posts. Let's make it a huge rectangle. There will be a lot more strategy involved kicking and would ask for more accuracy.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Yeah. That would be fun. I don't hate that. Wow. Yeah. You can't go as if you're on the 10. You can't just pound it. Yeah. I don't hate that. That would be fun. I don't hate that. Wow. Yeah. You can't go as if you're on the 10. You can't just pound it. Yeah, those short kicks would be tough.
Starting point is 00:41:29 You got to chop it. The short kicks would be tough, but even the long, I mean, but you could do, you probably do more where you have to kick it lower. Maybe you have to go back up, you know, be like, all right, well, the snapper needs to snap it farther than normal because we need to get a low one. Like there'll be more blocked kicks. That would be more exciting.
Starting point is 00:41:47 And it's more obvious if they made it or don't make it. You know, baseball, when they change the rules, they just try it out in the minor leagues. They just roll it out to see how it will play. Yeah, you can't practice. But there's no infrastructure to do that for the NFL. There's no open mic. There's no open mic. I guess we could treat the Canadian Football League.
Starting point is 00:42:03 I mean, they used to have NFL Europe, but I think that went away. Oh, good. There was a guy that blocked one this week, that blocked a field goal because he timed it perfectly. Did you see that? No. He got a running start. He was out where a receiver was, ran in,
Starting point is 00:42:15 and then he ran as soon as they – and they did it because he timed. He ran sideways to get running, and then right when they snapped it, he veered off to the left and ran behind it. And you have to time it perfectly, but he timed with the kicker. He watched the kicker. A guy was saying, like, this is probably going to change the game. You're going to see this now.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Wow. He was a patriot. Yeah, because the kicker does the exact same routine. He watched the kicker, not the guy snapping it. Yeah, and he just knows when to take off running. And then, yeah, I mean, if you just have to time it out you know but yeah trevor burkett nate when you're in cleveland in november if you have time take a quick trip down to the pro football hall of fame in canton and they have a helmet you can put on and listen to a play call
Starting point is 00:43:01 they oh i don't like that so you know because you always see them you can yeah yeah yeah yeah you can do it john mimed it yeah for those listening that's good everybody stopped they also have a lot of other interactive materials and a lot of great memorabilia love listening to your show and can't wait to see you in November. All right. Trevor Burkett, guy who apparently owns the Hall of Fame in Canton. He said, like a guy that owned it. He would tell you where you should go. Come on down to the Hall of Fame. I would love to hear that, though. We went to the Wichita, we went to the zoo.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Yeah, I don't even know. Because you got to go somewhere. What plan are you on? No, he's saying you got to think of a thing to do during the day. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Like, speaking of things you have to. What you do when you go when you get there huh what do you do when you get to a city yeah you might go to the golf yeah you play golf no i barely have
Starting point is 00:43:55 time now it's hard to play golf i mean it's four hours yeah i want to try to play i was thinking about trying to almost like either practice or play some. But I don't know. It's just so hard. It's a lot. Playing and doing a show. Yeah. I got to do a show. This is too much, do you think? No, no.
Starting point is 00:44:12 I could see doing that. Something like that's good where you go drive down there and you just go see it. You can walk through it pretty quick. But comics are not always going to be the most. We're not going to really go take it all in. Yeah. We're going there. We're looking to spend a couple hours just to be getting out of if that that and then we're just kind of like
Starting point is 00:44:29 breeze through it then out of nowhere i'll just be like we gotta go let's go now we can't do we can't hear anymore you weirdly get just kind of i can't do this anymore i'm gonna go it's every comic i don't know it's every comic i do it all that's me for sure yeah i go all right we're done all right that's enough i gotta you know, what are we doing? Scott Johnson. Babe Ruth hit 159 home runs in his first 674 career games and had a 35-18 win-loss record in his first 455 career innings pitch. Shohei Otani hit 160 home runs in his first, no? Shohei. Shohei. Shohei Otani hit 160 home runs in his first
Starting point is 00:45:06 no? Shohei. Shohei. Shohei. That wasn't that awful. Shohei Otani. He'd turn around. Shohei.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Yeah. That's like saying Shohei. That's like saying Ken Griffey Jr. He's so popular you shouldn't miss that. Ken Griffey.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Shohei Otani hit 160 home runs in his first 674 career games and had 35-19 win-loss record in his first 45 career innings pitch. So it's the same thing. Makes Aaron look stupid. Yeah. So Babe Ruth and – I don't think it does.
Starting point is 00:45:44 What is this a reference to that I said that the comparison is silly? Baseball. Yeah. So Babe Ruth and – I don't think it does. What is this a reference to that I said that the comparison was silly? Baseball. Yeah. I know that. I can't remember what I said about it. Nate said – you said no one's ever done it. He's a modern – Nate said Babe Ruth.
Starting point is 00:45:56 He was like, it's ridiculous. It's completely different. You said, yeah. Well, I'd have to dig into the numbers. I mean, if you want to – I'll be honest with you. Scott Johnson dug into it. Yeah, I think those are them.
Starting point is 00:46:06 I go, yeah. I'm sure you can find some numbers that fit your argument. You know? You know what that guy, you know what the guy, he was up to bat,
Starting point is 00:46:16 Shohei Otani was up to bat last year. You remember that guy that got fired? He was up to bat. Shohei Otani was up to bat. You can look this up. And he goes...
Starting point is 00:46:24 So we did the Elmer Fudd impression. No, he goes, he goes, Jack Morris. Oh, he was up to bat. You can look at this up. And they go, so we did the Elmer Fudd impression. No, he goes, he goes, one, Jack Morris. I think he plays for, he used to be for the White Sox.
Starting point is 00:46:31 They were playing the White Sox. He goes on TV. They go, how do you pitch to Otani? And he goes, be very, very careful. He said that he was doing,
Starting point is 00:46:39 he was doing Elmer Fudd, but it sounded like he was doing an Asian accent. Yeah. Why would he do Elmer Fudd? Because that's a, I know you didn't watch cartoons as a kid no okay wow
Starting point is 00:46:49 but there's yeah do you know Elmer Fudd yeah I know from Bugs Bunny Six Flags I'm hunting rabbits he said be very careful
Starting point is 00:46:56 oh so but it sounded Asian he would say be very very careful yeah but it did in the context of Shohei Otani being a bad it didn't seem like he was doing an Asian voice.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Oh, wait, is that true? Yeah, I think so. I think it was an Elmer Fudd voice. It was just unfortunate timing for him. He vetted careful. Yeah, I mean, it was wild. I mean, he probably thought of it the night before. He probably was like, oh, it's perfect.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Oh, because you know the- Ask me this. The Travis Kelsey, he scored a touchdown on this, and he's been rumored to be dating Taylor Swift. And Ian Eagle, who's the announcer, goes, and he found a blank space, and he's open for the touchdown. He said that.
Starting point is 00:47:35 That's pretty nice. And that's one of her hit songs. I would have been proud of that. And it was all over Twitter, because you're like, dude, if I... I would be like, I got one. Yeah, you would have written 100. Oh, yeah. When you're like Mark Jackson, you're announcing the NBA finals, and LeBron has, I'm sure you have like a bit.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Not a bit, but a line, at least. Yeah, you have stuff in the holster. You try to squeeze it in. That you're hoping that situation gets. I remember the Auburn-Oregon game, the tostitos fiesta bowl brent musburger calling the game and it was a field goal at the end of the game and he said this one's for all the tostitos and i remember that he thought of that oh yeah yeah yeah he had it in the holster yeah i think they know they're gonna say it and they gotta just a matter of but it's like one of those things where
Starting point is 00:48:22 if you get it you're like oh yeah and if you don't it doesn't it just goes over your head everybody wants their do you believe in miracles yes everybody wants their iconic line you can't remember the last time there's been an iconic sports line like that i wonder if you should get somebody better than most what is that tiger woods when he makes a real long putt i think it's better than most better than most and he made this crazy long putt on the uh i haven't heard that oh it's a giant one huge yeah better than most did you think he goes he tells the other guy yo i got this travis kelsey launch or do you think he just like keeps it yeah better than most yeah you start it and then the guy ruins it better than most he goes it's a pretty good putt better than that was my time yeah how do you not know
Starting point is 00:49:06 better than most but you're bringing up the tostitos well this is all the tostitos acting like i'm crazy for knowing better than most and you're your most famous line you know is this is for all the tostitos is that what is that what you said is that what you said at home a lot this one this is for we were big Tostitos family for sure. Oh, yeah, that's me. I was trying to think. Mike Heath had the Music City Miracle call for the Titans. But is there like a line from that that's still quoted?
Starting point is 00:49:35 Well, he said, it's a miracle. And that's how it kind of became known as the Music City Miracle. Did he say it's a Music City Miracle? He didn't say it's a miracle. The Titans have pulled off a miracle. And then it started being called the Music City Miracle. Okay. But yeah, you wouldn't have planned that.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Yeah. No, I think some of it is really, I would imagine, do you believe in miracles is off the cuff? Like that's just an emotion. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's what I, like those are going to be the best ones. The one where the person doesn't even realize they probably said it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Really? All you can do as an announcer is like, you gonna be canceled now at some point because you're still now like baseball announcers got three and a half imagine if we had to call a game and we got four if you have two guys and you're just like and you're just like you're gonna say something dumb you're gonna say something that's gonna and they're gonna be out and you're like dude you're going to say something dumb you're going to say something and they're going to be out and you're like dude
Starting point is 00:50:26 god dude you know how hard it is to talk that long for four hours and not say something racist come on yeah
Starting point is 00:50:37 it's not even our fault yeah come on give me a break you guys I mean come on what's like the guy
Starting point is 00:50:43 from that's why they shortened baseball. Guys, we didn't cancel. Screw the game up. That's fun. The Jack Buck call on Kirk Gibson's home run. Yeah. I don't believe what I just saw.
Starting point is 00:50:58 That one's a famous call, but most people, that's not even how they learned of it because it was on TV. Vince Gulley. Yeah. that's not even how they learned of it because it was on TV. Vince Scully had, I'm drawing a blank on it right now, but he's, I mean, most people watch the world series on TV, Vince Scully called, but Jack Buck has kind of got the famous radio call that probably not many people even heard live. And that's the one, I don't believe what I just saw. Yeah. That was Jack Buck.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Yeah. With him doing the fist pump as he's rounding the bases. Yeah. Yeah. That's my first, I want to say my first, one of my first memories of baseball. Watching that game? Watching. Yeah. Yeah. That's my first – I want to say my first – one of my first memories of baseball. Watching that game? Watching that game. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Yeah. That's awesome. When he was running and doing that. Wow. Kirk Gibson, was it? Yeah. Yeah. Dodgers.
Starting point is 00:51:34 What is the – speaking of the goal post, when Alabama was versus Auburn. The kick six. That was – Oh, my God. That's a – we can't listen to him, can we? We can't listen to him. I grew up an Alabama fan, but... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:46 That was... That was good. What was Vandy's most iconic golf? No, I don't think they won't play it. Yeah, it won't go. Right. Huh? What's Vandy's most iconic golf?
Starting point is 00:51:58 Baseball? When our field goal kicker got MVP. That was our punter. Our punter. That's even worse. Our punter, yeah. The girl. Vandy had a rough one.
Starting point is 00:52:06 I mean, if you could have watched the Vandy-UNLV game this week, I told someone my brother-in-law was here, and we watched the Vanderbilt-UNLV game, and I said, this is what it's like being a Vandy fan. And it's a perfect game to show a career of being a Vandy fan. Just 17 and nothing immediately were up. They immediately tie it back up pretty quickly. And then we get up and then we have it.
Starting point is 00:52:37 I mean, Vanderbilt tie ball game. We have an interception on their own, on their 30 or something. An interception on their 30, less than a minute left. What do you think? We did not win, but what do you think would have happened? Just run the ball up the middle and down it and run out the clock. Yeah. No, we'll kick a field goal.
Starting point is 00:52:56 It was tight. Ball was tight. Oh, yeah. Kick a field goal. So you think worst case, we'll go to overtime, right? Yeah. We lose. In regulation.
Starting point is 00:53:03 In regulation. What happened? We run. In regulation. In regulation. What happened? We run the clock out to nothing, try a field goal, miss the field goal. They get the ball back. It's a pretty short field goal too. Yeah, not crazy long.
Starting point is 00:53:14 It's tied. It's tied. I mean, it's like unreal. Like, oh, we're about to pull this game out. We missed the field goal and then they throw a 40-yard bomb. They catch it and then they kick a field goal and then they throw a 40-yard bomb they catch it and then they kick
Starting point is 00:53:27 a field goal and make it and they win that's being a veiny fan in a minute dude it went from like them driving with one minute going like just please stop them to like can you do we got an interception we got we could just kick it now if we wanted to it was that close to then you don't think you could ever lose in that situation. You think you could go to overtime. We're going to overtime. I'm sorry. We called a timeout.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Remember also, we could have just let the clock run out and at least go to overtime. And we called a timeout. I remember that. And the coach was like, who called the timeout? Yeah. And then the next play, they throw a bomb. Yeah. Gone.
Starting point is 00:54:03 And we lose the regulation. Oh, we called. Yeah. That was us called it? Yeah. And then the next play, they throw a bomb. Yeah. Gone. Oh. And we lose the regulation. Oh, we called. Yeah. That was us called it? Yeah. Now, hold your thought, what you're about to say. No. The announcers said, you know, I'm surprised Vandy's not calling timeouts,
Starting point is 00:54:17 you know, to maybe get the ball back. And then, sure enough, Vandy did call a timeout. And you read Clark Lee's lips, and he said, who called the expletive timeout that's like one of the kids who i don't know and then now there's like oh boy i just read his lips yeah and then you're like well i feel like you should call a timeout and then the next play they throw a bomb and like oh that's why i didn't and then they called the time i guess that went up yeah and then you we in vandy lost i mean it's always so easy to read a coach's lips for football games.
Starting point is 00:54:45 I remember being a kid being like, wow. They're just yelling crazy stuff at the team. I followed the Falcons game yesterday on ESPN. And you have the win percentage. So if you're up by four and there's a minute left and you have the ball, it's like 99. And you're like, so that one must have been like, you're like,
Starting point is 00:55:06 ow, ow, ow. If we have the ball with a minute left. The win percentage is like 97. I don't think I ever give us over 40. They're like, I mean, if you're a Vandy fan,
Starting point is 00:55:17 I mean, look, I love Clark Lee and I hope they, Vandy turns all this stuff around. We've had problems that they like, me, him,
Starting point is 00:55:24 and our buddy Ryan text about Vandy all the time. But like we've had problems that they like we me him and our buddy ryan text about vandy elton but like we have problems that go beyond uh oh can you there it is can you look at how do you do that what do you mean that's the win that's the win vandy win percentage here's the win probability graph and then down right here at the end with 44 seconds left. No, it went up. How about keep going? Yeah. That's all the way. You can't zoom in a whole lot more.
Starting point is 00:55:50 That's how quickly this changed. It was 80% at one time, right? Yeah. And then it's wild. Yeah. There you go. I mean, it's crazy. They should have that.
Starting point is 00:56:00 I mean, we scored a lot of points. I mean, just, you know. They should have that, but it has to run through you or something to adjust it for the reality. Score down to the fourth quarter just to see. So, yeah. TD, field goal, field goal. TD, TD.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Yeah, it's. Yeah yeah i mean we went crazy so john hate to see it our favorite player plays for the falcons who's that from vandy nateland man who do you know nateland man no he had a big he had a big place uh yesterday he did playing for the falcons, right? Yeah. Oh, he plays? Yeah. Can you show this? It's right under. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:01 Nate Lambin. Yeah, he hit Nate Lambin. Yeah, he got to get him on the pot. There we go. He follows us. We've been following his career since the draft. Oh, he didn't mispronounce that. That's his real name.
Starting point is 00:57:13 His name's Nate Landman. Nate Landman. Really? Nate Landman. And he just made his first tackle? Yeah. I guess everybody wants to DM about that. How'd you find him?
Starting point is 00:57:23 Somebody just, a fan sent it, a folk sent it to us. Sweet. That'd you find him? A fan sent it. A folk sent it to us. Sweet. That's so cool. Rooting for you, Nate. Let's go, baby. I'll be following him. Steven Sonderman.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Throwing a football into the stands at an NFL game is a $7,000 fine. Probably why everyone is not running with Nate's brilliant, as always, idea. I don't know if that's a passive. I can't really tell. I with nate's brilliant as always idea oh that's a passive i can't i loved it brilliant as always brilliant as always i still i'd pay the seven grand and then you can throw it back in the nfl and go i wanted you to give that to charity surely i take the football price out of it right and but the rest of it goes to charity they won't they wouldn't do that but who is it that yeah just you know just do it every pressure yeah public they pressure everybody else no it was uh phil palislaw is a comic that i came up with in denver he said if you get you're in
Starting point is 00:58:16 hockey professional hockey player hits somebody else it's fifteen thousand dollars he's like based on what they make that's the equivalent of like you, like if you worked at McDonald's hit somebody $3, you're like, I would do that every day. Oh yeah. If that was the penalty, you could punch somebody in the face for $3. That's like three.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Yeah. Or like whatever the equivalent is in that, in that kind of money. Yeah. For what those guys make. You hit him once and throw a 10 down. Keep the change. I got two more throw a 10 down. Keep the change. I got two more coming.
Starting point is 00:58:47 That's the penalty. Seven grand. But if you're a wide receiver, that's no money to you. I think they maybe said second offense is 10,000. It goes up. Starts to add up.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Straight cash, homie. That's an all-time line. Straight cash, homie. That's an all-time line. Straight cash, homie. Kelsey kicks his in the stands a lot. He's rich. He's Dane Taylor Swift. William Feltz. Regis Philbin hosted a national game show phenomenon
Starting point is 00:59:22 and was on TV every morning for like 30 years. Rudy was portrayed by Hobbit for 90 minutes. Is Jon Favre the second most famous Notre Dame alum Nathaniel? Another passive-aggressive? That's why I put it on here? Yeah. Why are they back-to-back? I liked it. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:59:39 Brian curates the comments. So that's being you or being passive-aggressive to me. Brian also writes most of these. If you picked them out, that would be, you're coming. I thought they both
Starting point is 00:59:49 made some good points. I'm sorry. You could have just said throwing football on stands in a football game is a $7,000 fine. That would be,
Starting point is 00:59:56 that's all you need. He said, he said the other stuff in here for sure. He canceled, he stopped doing it. Yeah, running with Nate's brilliant as always idea.
Starting point is 01:00:03 You're like, I mean. But that was the part that made me like it. I read it. It's in a different font. I'm like, that's just crazy. I think it's added in there. Is John Favreau?
Starting point is 01:00:11 Is that? I mean, golly. Now, it's basically two different arguments. I'm glad I'm going to be gone for a little bit. Yeah. It's two different arguments, I would think. So, Regis Philbin is obviously the more famous person. So, he's probably the most, I would think. So Regis Philbin is obviously the more famous person.
Starting point is 01:00:28 So he's probably the most famous Notre Dame alum. That's a problem, by the way. What? That's their most famous alumni? I don't think
Starting point is 01:00:35 he necessarily is, but he's given a lot of money to the university and there's a lot named after him. Oh, I thought that's who you threw out.
Starting point is 01:00:41 But anyway. It's a fun one to throw out, I think. Nate's just saying, your argument is, if you say, name someone who graduated from Notre Dame, Rudy, because you know for sure. I couldn't have told you who Regis Philbin, where he graduated college from. Okay, that's fair.
Starting point is 01:00:54 So Rudy's probably somebody that- No, but nobody knows the real Rudy. He's not recognizable. That's what Aaron said last week, but you still know he went to Notre Dame. So this guy's making fun of me because i said rudy i said rudy over regis philp regis philbin is i'm sure for a name like william feltz sounds like he's roasted 80 yeah yeah regis philbin is a young whippersnapper to this guy so but i mean you gotta people also got to realize i know reg Regis Philbin. I know William does.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Bates does. We're old. Nobody knows who he is. No one knows anybody 30 and under. There's no way Regis Philbin comes to mind. I mean, when he hosted the- With Kathy Lee or Garrett. When did he host the- He wants to be a millionaire.
Starting point is 01:01:43 I mean, that might- How long ago was that? It was the nineties. How old is he now? He was born in 1931. Oh, he died. Yeah. Uh, he's also well-known original host of the 19 from 1999, 2000.
Starting point is 01:01:56 How long did he host the, who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire from 99 to 2000? It's gotta be more than a year though. Yeah. Uh, I don't know. I feel like Meredith Vieira took over pretty quick. I would say Regis. Well, I said Rudy.
Starting point is 01:02:10 I think you might go Rudy at first. You would just say Rudy. Held the Guinness World Record for most hours spent on U.S. television. Yeah, yeah. That's pretty crazy. It's crazy. It's all crazy. But do we have the full years of him running?
Starting point is 01:02:24 Regis Francis? Who wants to be a millionaire like how long was he it was on like three nights a week and that shit was awesome do you remember that yeah it was great still on I think it debuted in 1999 and then Meredith fear took over in 2002 but then but then brought back philbin wants to be a super millionaire yeah it wasn't that it was like it was like i mean so you're looking at 20 years ago that show so you gotta think if a person's born before that yeah they're 20 they don't know who he is right so much less even if a person's born in 97 98 which is a 24 year old uh i have a
Starting point is 01:03:08 30 year old is like they would have been a baby yeah they they wouldn't have even seen yeah they might know him as joey bishop sidekick on the joey bishop show 1967 are they gonna know rudy Are they going to know Rudy? Yeah. Rudy's just, there's so many memes of Rudy. The reason any of them know anything now is because of memes. Harper will know some scene from some movie because of a meme. So I don't know if Rudy has made it to the meme world, but I think Rudy has a better chance with a younger generation than Regis Philbin. I could see saying Regis Phililbin but i'm thinking about you know i'm trying to do a joke on this but it's stuff's older than you you hit a point where you go oh like it's i live in a
Starting point is 01:03:58 different world than these kids now yeah yeah so we have a we talk about on our podcast so you could have just said that and not been aggressive. But maybe it's the back. Maybe I wouldn't have thought of it. Honestly, I don't know if I would have read it as aggressive because I didn't understand it at first. Because it said Nathaniel? No, no, just because I forgot the whole thing.
Starting point is 01:04:18 Well, Avi, I think you were still coming in hot from the previous comment, the guy who said you're brilliant as always ideas, and you kind of projected a little bit onto William Feltz. He doesn't deserve that. So I think if you, William Feltz comment were earlier, you would have read it with a little more. William Feltz could be even.
Starting point is 01:04:32 If Nathaniel wasn't on the end of that, would that be a fine? Which I'm afraid of the second most famous Notre Dame. Nathaniel is spelled wrong. It's A-E-L, which is the way we do it. That's a fun fact. Nathaniel. I think it's Bates throwing-E-L, which is the way we do it. That's a fun fact. Nathaniel.
Starting point is 01:04:47 I think it's Bates throwing them back to back, which is crazy. It's crazy. Put that up top. How would you put it back to back? I mean, there's one, two, three, four, five, six emails. I'll be sure to spread them out next time so it's not so obvious. Yeah. What have I done to you?
Starting point is 01:05:01 That's for a different podcast. I haven't been around. He's like, oh, just wait. Have I been around? I haven't been around he's like you haven't been around just wait have I been around I haven't seen you in a while it feels like yeah
Starting point is 01:05:09 it's good to be back what do you guys do on the podcast if he's not here we still put it out oh y'all do it yeah like Dusty did it oh yeah
Starting point is 01:05:17 yeah cause I'm gonna miss a few right I'm missing a few cause I'm yeah what do the fans say when you're not there I guess they like it yeah I mean I know some people like it they do you know a lot of
Starting point is 01:05:28 people like it people try to be nice to us yeah so there's no guest host but like they're excited sometimes there's a guest host we're about to have becky own host uh one because he's going to be here and i'll be gone oh yeah so yeah we could have you know you could come in and host one and well we're not hosted yeah well yeah it just would be off yeah it'd be all y'all yeah you'd be in control of them too a lot yeah put that i'm gonna put both that on your plate i'll take it from here yeah new rules listen up the young and the old uh appliance part two comments
Starting point is 01:06:07 so we talked about appliances one other time appliance part one comments we already we've already been through that
Starting point is 01:06:14 we're not doing those okay we did two separate episodes on appliances John may do a third yeah that's when I host
Starting point is 01:06:21 we were even talking about the laundry room appliances part three you will be appliance part 3 yeah Kate the Great if someone had told me
Starting point is 01:06:29 that one day I would get extremely excited to see the word appliances part 2 I wouldn't have believed them yeah how about that
Starting point is 01:06:36 they like it they like it if I remember correctly appliances part 2 is one of the hotter episodes we've done it was hot yeah
Starting point is 01:06:43 and Kate the Great is that's her at on Instagram or that's just her Facebook was hot. And Kate the Great, that's her on Instagram or that's just her Facebook name or what is that? I don't think that's her last name. I believe that was her YouTube handle. Yeah, there's no comment on that. We just leave that alone. You can. I mean, she's great.
Starting point is 01:06:57 Self-proclaimed. Well, he's great. What's that, Seinfeld? Well, he's a... You call me Jerry the Great or something? Yeah. She's talking about the... She's talking about the maestro. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:11 Well, he's a maestro. Well, I am great. Yeah. Something. Yeah, I don't know. All right. Bro, that's crazy. The water stays cold in that the whole time.
Starting point is 01:07:21 I know. Those cups are... All right. Oh, that's what we've talked about. That was on appliances part one. Okay, my bad. My bad. Shoot, shoot, shoot.
Starting point is 01:07:27 Dang it, dude. Sorry, you're right. You're right. And people have listened to this on a radio in no video. So he's drinking out of a cup
Starting point is 01:07:35 that's insulated. It doesn't... There's no ice in it. It's been here the whole time. It's freezing. They've been around. I doubt Regis Philbin probably had one,
Starting point is 01:07:46 but they've been around for a long time. Rudy drinks out of them. Rudy definitely drinks out of them. That's like a point of embarrassment for people that you shouldn't be embarrassed about is things that you don't know
Starting point is 01:07:57 because you weren't alive. You're like, what that was, you don't know about, and you're like, what? I think William's been alive for a lot of stuff. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:05 With Bates,ates I mean he's for all of them every morning yeah yeah I'm going I'm sorry William it's not fair
Starting point is 01:08:13 it's not fair Lance Wallace appliances part two was another thing of beauty great episode inspired me to suggest a new way of naming your episode
Starting point is 01:08:24 start with the topic breakfast has selected and researched. Then follow it with a topic or topics the guys spend the most time actually talking about. In parentheses. I wasn't really enthused. Enthused? Enthused? Wasn't really enthused. Is that it? There you go. That was a close one. Enthused.
Starting point is 01:08:44 Enthused. It would turn around. It would turn around. It would turn around. I wasn't really enthused about more appliance talk, but the hidden topic of infomercials was so much fun. Keep spreading joy. All right. I'm not against that.
Starting point is 01:08:55 Yeah. Yeah. It'd be fun. So this episode will be Georgia and in parentheses Regis Philbin. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Featured John Crist.
Starting point is 01:09:05 I don't mind it also being like, here's some other stuff. They win it. You know, the idea. Yeah. Featuring John Grist. I don't mind it also being like, here's some other stuff they went at. The idea. That's good. Might as well change it up. Who's breakfast? Or what's breakfast? They always said his name wrong. They've done that for a long time. I don't think people want to hear that. It's just any B word. Any B word.
Starting point is 01:09:19 Yeah. But I could see Beauty would be a good one for you. Yeah. Beauty. But Nate doesn't like to be called Nathaniel, so. Yeah. I don't mind being Nathaniel.
Starting point is 01:09:30 I just said you spelled it. It's I-E-L. It's because of your joke, right? That's the joke. Yeah, I have nothing wrong with it. That's a callback. It's honestly a sign of respect. It's a callback to the joke.
Starting point is 01:09:38 That's true. You know what? William, respect for that. John knows Nate's act better than Dusty. Yeah. Dusty doesn't know i do comedy matt duval how in the world did nate not pitch the aaron weber walk-in cooler as his appliance to sell bigger gentlemen everywhere would have wanted to get their hands on that bad boy that
Starting point is 01:10:00 is true yeah you can definitely tell he's brian selecting these comments yeah yeah because it's just going after everybody well that wasn't yeah they are that is true going to him but i had an idea that they should because what was it you wanted like for big men everywhere for the bigger gentlemen you would have a walk-in cooler at your home that you can go cool off in i said if i had all the money in the world i could start building stuff like that in my house i'd build a walk-in freezer yeah yeah just walk in there because he gets so hot during the day that he would want to then come home and walk in a cooler freezer that's a lot of meat that's a lot of meat and that's a lot of well it is a lot of meat that's why they want to go in there it's to be that hot.
Starting point is 01:10:45 Yeah. What about like just a shower? Yeah. Well, it's not the same. They don't want to get wet. Each one's going to stay in there. Each one's going to stay in there. Just kind of chill it out a little bit.
Starting point is 01:10:53 Yeah. Just kind of like. It feels nice. Yeah. You know, just get the stains off. I like that. Yeah. Just can't see the wet stains.
Starting point is 01:10:59 When I worked at the country club, I'd go, can I go take a smoke break? And they'd go, yeah. Then I'd just walk in the walk-in freezer, stand in there for five minutes. Still smoke. Five minutes. But he would do it inside the walk-in freezer. It wouldn't go out, would it? In the walk-in freezer?
Starting point is 01:11:15 If you smoked a cigarette in there? I don't think so. It's not a vacuum chamber. Yeah, but it's too cold. Yeah, you can smoke in Alaska. I don't think. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:24 If you were in like a cooler wouldn't yeah isn't there airtight in there uh you have to figure that out if you're gonna figure that out yeah yeah you're right i'll do a little more research on this i think there's enough air to probably oh yeah to do when i worked at chick-fil-a we had one we walk in but did you think that a cigarette couldn't light if it's too cold? You were thinking about like a fire when it was snowing? No, like it was just air gone. Yeah, like in space. You can't smoke a cigarette in space.
Starting point is 01:11:51 Well, that's because there's no oxygen. Yeah. That's what I thought. And possibly no space. Yeah. So there's a little double whammy there. You could light it up, I guess. You could light it up.
Starting point is 01:12:04 This next comment's crazy brian they should smoke in the in your helmet oh yeah i just got a cigarette in his helmet inside inside the astronaut helmet yeah yeah you can hotbox it man that guy's hair just smell he takes that off he'd be like that's like how does it what is it can you smell in space i don't think so dang and how does it get interesting question you can smell in the spacecraft i'm sure but if you were just floating out in space no yeah the spacecraft doesn't have oxygen i mean i guess if you turn the it does have they're breathing pretty good i mean it'd be you're floating yeah no gravity yeah but maybe gravity and oxygen no i'm talking about this different thing gravity is what leads to the smell gravity could the smell wouldn't fall i guess yeah
Starting point is 01:12:57 the go to the top it'd go to the top yeah you'd see it go up there we just sit there there's no direct way to smell space. However, researchers have identified compounds and elements within the galaxy, men are, which are also on Earth. The smell of our solar system is pungent because it is rich in carbon and low in oxygen. Oh, okay. Stars have aromas reminiscent of a charcoal grill. I like the smell of a charcoal grill.
Starting point is 01:13:21 Well, yeah. So space smells good. But if you were doing a spacewalk and somebody farted, you could smell that? I don't know. I don't know if I want to type that in. It smells like space. Well, what is in a cigarette that it stays in like a car? You can't ever get it out.
Starting point is 01:13:43 The smell. Yeah, but nothing else sticks like that what's in what's in it that you're like you can never sell anything else in a car besides cigarette smoke well cigar smoke stays does it? I think so
Starting point is 01:13:57 maybe not as bad as cigarette smoke if you lit a charcoal fire and then cooked a hot dog in a car, would that stay in there? It does stay in there pretty long. Because you can't smoke. You go to a hotel room, you can't smoke in here
Starting point is 01:14:18 because you can do anything else. It just kills the room. Yeah. Optimized portfolio. Man, that's a crazy name. As a nerd with a degree in math. No, it makes sense. It was cool to hear the birthday paradox mentioned.
Starting point is 01:14:37 Indeed, the paradox works because it's not asking the probability of you sharing a birthday with someone, but rather of any two people in the room sharing a birthday. With 23 randomly selected people, there are 253 possible pairs to consider. Fun fact, the probability reaches 99.9 when you reach 70 people in the room. Wow. That's fun. So if there's 70 people in the room,
Starting point is 01:15:03 there's a 99.9% chance that somebody, I saw that clip. I saw that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's fun. So a lot of people said that we were just wrong.
Starting point is 01:15:13 And birthday is you here in the clip that was posted. I said it when I said it correctly at first. Yeah. And then I misspoke saying it the second time saying it had to be you. Yeah. It's not about you sharing a birthday. It's about any two people in the group sharing a birthday. Some people just didn't even believe the paradox.
Starting point is 01:15:31 They're just like, there's just no way. But it is right. Some guy, I saw a comment. That's not what a paradox is, idiot. I'm like, how did you name it that? Got him. Got him. Well, did you ever start out when you started out with comedy as the host?
Starting point is 01:15:44 You're like, any birthdays? Yeah. This weekend. We're still doing that, Joe. Headlining. In a suit. It was my closer. In a suit.
Starting point is 01:15:52 It's my closer. He ran quick. It's my closer. Yeah, there's always a- Because I got a paradox for you guys. Count off. What's the philosophy behind that? Have I told the story about someone asking for their birthday
Starting point is 01:16:06 on this I know I probably told it to y'all but I don't know if I've told it the guy who had the bit about birthdays I love that story though I'll tell it I might have told y'all all I don't know if I've told the audience so I apologize and
Starting point is 01:16:22 but there's the comic he would go on stage and he would say he had a the comic he would go on stage and he would he would say he had a joke where he would go like uh who's got a birthday coming up someone say i got a birthday coming up and uh and then he's like this is how they would give you your birth saying your birthday in a chinese restaurant and that this is just a joke i'm not i'm just but he was like happy birthday to rue they would say it like the mispronounced then you go happy birthday dear customer happy birthday to you like so it's making fun of a right it's uh elmer fudd they speak yes it's basically doing exactly yeah yeah
Starting point is 01:16:56 uh there's really no reason for anybody to have a birthday like You don't need someone in the room. You could just say, here is my impression of a Chinese restaurant singing happy birthday. You just do it. You just do it. So he goes up and he's at the show and he goes, alright, who's got a birthday coming up?
Starting point is 01:17:18 There's not a lot of people in the crowd and no one has a birthday coming up. And he starts pointing and goes, what about you, man? And he goes, I just had my birthday a month ago. He goes, alright, what about... He goes, nobody has got a birthday coming up. And he starts pointing. He goes, what about you, man? And he goes, I just had my birthday. It was a month ago. He goes, all right, what about? He goes, nobody has got a birthday. And there's really no reason to be again. You just go into the bit.
Starting point is 01:17:34 He's already started. Holly's going crazy. And he goes, yeah. So he just keeps going around. What is she doing? The dog's going crazy downstairs. Huh? Somebody must be. Holly! just keeps going around i don't what is she doing the dog what is maybe she left there's yeah huh somebody must holly all right that worked yeah thank you uh she can probably smell it i go down there there's a Chinese person at the door. He was like, hey, come in. This whole thing.
Starting point is 01:18:07 I think it canceled just for this. That was fast. Yeah, I'm working. And we're fun. Like, come on. We're so fun, dude. He goes, what have you been doing? You want us to talk for two hours?
Starting point is 01:18:18 I can't. Twice. Twice. So he keeps asking. And so he's's like someone else's birthday who else's birthday and someone goes i don't think what about you buddy when's your birthday because my birthday is not six months from now yeah and i mean nobody and finally some guy just ends up like it's like someone sure yeah they go uh my brother's birthday is tomorrow he goes all right all right i'll take it and then he does i'm in i'm in and it's like there's no reason if you could have just do it my brother's birthday is tomorrow. He goes, all right. I'll take it.
Starting point is 01:18:46 And then he does the joke. And it was like, there's no reason. He could have just do it. Any of you guys drive cars? Yeah. Just do it. Just do the joke. Carmi girl 9902.
Starting point is 01:19:04 I have been, has there been that many Carmi girls? 9902. I have been, has there been that many Carmi girls? I think so. She's like, I got under 10,000. I've been re-listening to old episodes. And between that and some of Brian's comments today, it's odd that he's kind of laughed at about some of his points because he definitely has a broader scope about a lot of things than the other three.
Starting point is 01:19:25 What are these comments? That's fake. That's not. Wait. Yeah. I couldn't, you were nodding the whole time. So I couldn't.
Starting point is 01:19:32 I was agreeing with her. Uh, I know, but I just saw in my head, like a parrot going off. That distracted you from reading? Yeah. I mean,
Starting point is 01:19:40 you're nodding. You were nodding big nods. And so then I'm like, I'm like, this is, I, it's already so many words. And then I got my peripheral is, you know, seahorse nodding back and forth. I've been re-listening to old episodes. And between that and some of Brian's comments today, it's odd that he's kind of laughed at about some of his points because he definitely has a broader scope about a lot of things than the other three.
Starting point is 01:20:18 Thank you. that he's been exposed or at least allowed himself to be mentally open to much more than his personal bubble, which is interesting considering Nate has lived in more places. You go, girl. Yeah. Is this you right now? No.
Starting point is 01:20:41 Huh? No. You don't have a bigger scope of things. Well, I'm taking up with Carmi Girl. Yeah. You have a bigger scope of what you think stuff is because you've read about other things, but you've never experienced, like you haven't lived other. But there's every week.
Starting point is 01:21:02 He's like a commenter. He's the media. He's the media that reports on the media. It's biased. That just does. He's every week. He's like a commenter. He's the media. He's the media that reports on the media. It's biased. That just does. He's fake news. He just reports on and invades his world. He goes, well, they're not doing that.
Starting point is 01:21:15 You're like, well, have you been there? No, I've not been there, but I just can't imagine it happening. You said that. Yeah. So there's hundreds of comments every week. Hundreds. And these are the ones these are selected you've selected yeah today yeah they're all good comments look the reason
Starting point is 01:21:31 i put that one in because read the next one okay jay kramer 324 breakfast is ignorance of the foreman grill sheds a lot of light on the waffle fiasco fiasco so just funny interesting contrast in those things yeah yeah one is don't act like yeah you're like don't worry guys i got myself good on the next one yeah the brief after six it makes it look funnier because i mean she's saying that and then i don't even know what a foreman grill is that That's true. I knew what it was. I just never seen one. But they're very, very. And I've never seen a Foreman grill. Yeah. And I poured syrup in a waffle maker.
Starting point is 01:22:09 Yeah, we did a poll on that. Oh, yeah. And what did they say? It was like two thirds thought that was harder to believe than never seen Shawshank Redemption. Yeah. What do you think is more ridiculous? Nate never having seen Shawshank Redemption, the number one rated movie of all time, or Brian never having seen a Foreman Grill.
Starting point is 01:22:26 That one for sure. The movie over the Foreman Grill? Foreman Grill is only in hotels if you choose the breakfast. That's every time you ever see one. There's a good chance John Chris has too much money to even know what a Foreman Grill is. Do you know what a George Foreman Grill is? Yeah, it's the thing that you put it down, right? Everybody would have them in their house forever.
Starting point is 01:22:47 In the 90s, I don't think they have them. The 90s? We got one downstairs. We had those in college. Yeah, but he's saying he's never even seen one. He didn't know what they looked like. But you never seen one. He never had one.
Starting point is 01:23:04 I may have seen one, didn't know where it was, at someone's house, but I did not know. If we would have asked you to draw a picture of a Foreman grill, you would not have been able to do it. That might be true, but I don't come on here every week and talk about inferior grills that I've seen this past weekend. Oh, that's funny. Talk about that. What? I said, it may be true,
Starting point is 01:23:26 but I don't come in here each week and talk about inferior grills that I've watched this past week. So... Is that someone... I did that?
Starting point is 01:23:34 Your movie reviews. You're saying you talk about worse movies than Shawshank Redemption. Oh. Which you refuse to see. John's a big fan. We went to where
Starting point is 01:23:42 Shawshank Redemption was filmed, John and I. Wow. We went to the prison. Speaking of things you do during the day. We went there for an hour and we were like, let's leave. We did. We go, hey, you want
Starting point is 01:23:54 to read the... I'll just look around for a little bit. I don't think I need to follow the guy who tells you where to go. John, you've been to the Spokane Aquarium. I'll come call back to the magic. these are very let's just say at minimum these are very brian centric these well unusually so this week yeah because i never get made fun of on this no no no no i i agree but i think usually this is just because you usually do do a great job of a lot of comments.
Starting point is 01:24:27 Yeah, I think it's that you put the back-to-back passive-aggressive ones towards me. And then we went from there with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It just stuck out a little this week. That felt a lot. I thought they were funny. It was funny. It was funny.
Starting point is 01:24:38 Well, yeah. Clearly, I didn't think so. But it was great fodder for Nate's rage. Yeah. There you go. Got something out of it. That's what keeps this podcast rolling. That's true. Yeah. There you go. Got something out of it. That's what keeps this podcast rolling. That's true.
Starting point is 01:24:48 Why don't you tell us about Rocket Money? Rising prices stressing you out? You bet. If you're looking for ways to cut costs, you need Rocket Money. You could be wasting money and not even realizing it. I mean, I've got a million subscriptions that I sign up for. I talk about them ad nauseam on the podcast. You got to get rid of them.
Starting point is 01:25:04 Rocket Money is a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps you lower your bills all in one place. Most people think they're spending $80 on their subscriptions.
Starting point is 01:25:15 Get out of town. You're probably spending closer to $200 because that's the app. Yeah, they took out all the customers. When ESPN would take some of my some of my uh sketches they would like that football coach they would edit out certain like they said hey can you give us permission to post this and i was like espn of course but then they cut out my jokes the funniest ones that they didn't think they were a little uh across the line for them oh wow
Starting point is 01:25:43 and you're like dang it if you want to just take it and cut it that's fine but don't this is like the art that's those are the funniest jokes yeah those are the best ones yeah yeah that's what i think about art when i see that yeah that might be me and all the artists yeah we got a clip from a funny artist, John Crist. Go to him right now. He's a football coach. He's kind of the same. Thank you. Filmed this at a Goodpasture game, local high school football game.
Starting point is 01:26:14 Knock on Goodpasture. Yeah. What game was it that you filmed it at? Dude, we filmed that at a, it was a band, like all the high school bands. You were probably out with us. I wasn't there. Yeah, you were. No, you didn't.
Starting point is 01:26:26 Not when they... Oh, you weren't. Maybe you weren't. We went out to the... It was after a show, and I just said, dude, I got this funny idea for a football coach. I saw that video before I knew who you were. Oh, yeah. Maybe it was before that.
Starting point is 01:26:35 Yeah. We went to this football stadium. Yeah, way off. All that. They go, wait, you were out with me. I wasn't. That's how I found you. 2017. You've been doing it for a long time. 17? Yeah. 2017's how I found you.
Starting point is 01:26:45 2017. You've been doing it for a long time. 17? Yeah. 2017 is when I made that video. No, 2018 probably. And you didn't know who he was in 2018? Mm-mm.
Starting point is 01:26:55 It's worse than George Foreman, girl. Probably late 2018. I first saw him with- It's weirder that you remember that it was late 2018. John Witherspoon. Yeah, and you did Citrus. I remember that, yeah. And I was like, that's the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life and I was like come out on my tour and do that and he never did it once ever again citrus a joke yeah yeah citrus you don't like to talk about it yeah it's a voice that I did oh you you did a voice on stage you
Starting point is 01:27:19 didn't know this not only was the cornerstone of my acts for many I was like this guy is hilarious you don't know about this thing I never describe him physically you just
Starting point is 01:27:33 can tell what he is he's not gonna do it sorry dude my bad I didn't mean to bring that up
Starting point is 01:27:41 but that I saw I was in the back of Zany's and I was like I don't know who that dude, but that is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my whole life. And I go, Lucy, who, I don't think y'all even knew each other or did you? They were married. Yeah. We're off on the timelines. We're way off on the timelines.
Starting point is 01:27:58 But I go, that's, who is that guy? That's the funniest thing I've ever seen. And then we start coming out with me. Thanks, man. How about it? What were you, that was he started coming out with me. Thanks, man. That was your closer? Oh, yeah. I was closing on a Lion King bit, so
Starting point is 01:28:13 I can't judge. More recent. Early 2023. A couple days ago. Didn't you have your first closer for like five years uh i don't know it was the exact fire it would be you'd have one big closer like your big joe you have a big at the beginning of your career yeah you kept it yeah oh yeah well you shouldn't get rid of it you should just keep that closer for no no no because nobody knows it no one knows
Starting point is 01:28:41 mine was a trampoline the trampoline bit you remember that bit no what's the trampoline no i'm not gonna do it but yeah yeah jumping up and down yeah what's the deal with trampolines in the backyard you want those rich kids put in the ground i don't know just tell me about stumble upon it yeah you gotta yeah okay yeah i got the gist of it yeah kids these days probably when i was growing up yeah yeah i do remember that joke you were like 28 when you were telling it oh yeah kids today kids these days yeah go outside and play yeah did everyone everyone every comedian has had a kids these days uh no there's a good chance i have a yeah i have a whole thing right when i was up. But I'm trying. The idea of it is, it's not really, I'm not, in my head, I'm not doing it kids these days. But the way it's like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:29:36 It is kind of. But I'm mentioning some old stuff. And then like, it's just the times are just crazy. But yeah, but everybody has like. The times are just crazy. But yeah, but everybody has like... I think I learned from you because at the exact same time that I had kids, what's the deal with these kids with peanut allergies? You had a...
Starting point is 01:29:53 It's not their fault that they have peanut allergies. And I was like... And now, like I've heard some podcasts, they're like, dude, whatever is in the environment that we didn't have, we have it. So it's like an out of time. They're like, dude, whatever is in the environment that we didn't have. We have it. Right. It's like an out of time. It's like an expired bit.
Starting point is 01:30:11 Kids these days, like when I was going down slides, there were metal in the monkey bars, and you could pass out or whatever. Remember the merry-go-round? You just go on every playground. Yeah. They don't have them anymore. Yeah. Remember the monkey bars?

We didn't get to Georgia. Sorry, we didn't get to Georgia. We had to cover that first.
Starting point is 01:31:05 Georgia asked us not to be dragged down. Did you cut the Georgia stuff? Their PR was like, not yet. Oh, yeah. That was the first time I ever did a podcast. Yeah. That was wild. Did you guys get in any trouble for that?
Starting point is 01:31:21 No, I don't. No, no one said anything. We got some comments, but they did yeah he's got them don't put them in i'm surprised there wasn't one today john chris part six yeah i think i told somebody i go it's cool that comics can like comics can build other comics other comics have been made popular by other comics. Like Rogan or like you have the power and I have the power in my pocket to bring people on. They're like, this guy, you don't have to wait for TV or anything.
Starting point is 01:31:55 Yeah, a lot more control. When some people come back, the media may or may not, but the podcast, yeah, come on the pod. It's wild. Do it yourself. Yeah. Different time. It's wild. Do it yourself. Yeah. Different time. Here we are. I had all those premises about Georgia, and I've been sitting on them for two years.
Starting point is 01:32:10 Waiting. When am I going to get the opportunity to defend the state of Georgia? Well, Georgia, it was one of the 13 original colonies. Knew that. The last one. Oh, barely got in. For a while. It was 50 years after the first 12 yeah oh
Starting point is 01:32:26 really then it went 13 who was 14 there was no 14 it was the last one but they wouldn't they just go that's enough well then the revolutionary war happened and then they became states yeah named after prince george the second i think right uh i think he was a king by then king george not prince george oh yeah prince george is like now yeah yeah so that's like my middle name is barack and i'm 39 and i'm like how would i be named after do people think you're named after him yeah i'm like timeline wise now grant we haven't had our times yeah totally in check right but i go how would i be named is that a biblical name yeah barack old testament yeah how many years have you been 39? Nice, dude.

Starting point is 01:33:22 Yeah, yeah. That's when, no. No, i think you are 30 uh aren't you 39 you're 39 yeah uh king george ii see you there you go but you forget you can tell when a bit gets old by yeah sometimes how you say it and then you're like my daughter's two years old she's seven you know god i gotta quit doing this joke oh yeah or like something about i saw somebody do a bit about like my son was wearing these these jeans that were that they're so wide you could hide all kind of stuff in there i go oh yeah that's an old
Starting point is 01:33:56 that has to be old oh yeah these kids with their baggy pants yeah yeah something like that yeah they're not really doing that i heard one about with byron allen uh actually he had a joke uh where he had a joke about the user you ever use a pay phone yeah and he put a dime in there and so the joke is so old that it's like it's been i remember pay for i think i've talked about that i've never paid phones being 35 cents all right and then they were a dime so it's like it's it's, it's a, no one's using pay phone. And then you're two prices off. That's crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:31 He hasn't adjusted it for inflation yet. Well, I mean, I don't know. I don't say he does the joke now, but, but you end up just saying like that stuff can, can, I mean, he's been busy buying the weather channel. So it's like, oh, you're going to do some old joke. And then you're like, yeah, we're not. not i mean no one even really knows where to pay phone or like getting out you're like dude after like i had i'd go outside and get a taxi or like yeah what yeah you ever go get a cab i mean that's you know and it's at least you could still do that
Starting point is 01:34:58 yeah in some yeah i guess on broadway or but yeah you would change it to an uber like i've been doing this bit for a while. Yeah. Yeah. Who do you guys think is the most famous person from Georgia? Ludacris. You had that one ready to go. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:16 The rapper? It's like you. Yeah. The rapper? Martin Luther King. Oh. Shoot. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:24 I didn't know. I never knew where he was from. No one does. Yeah. This is like the Rudy thing. Martin Luther King or Ludacris. Yeah. Ludacris.
Starting point is 01:35:32 Regis is our Martin Luther King. Yeah. That's the title of the episode. I think I might have very old. I might have said Herschel Walker. Herschel Walker. He's even from Georgia? Herschel Walker. He played at Georgia. He's even from Georgia? Herschel Walker.
Starting point is 01:35:45 He played at Georgia. He played at Georgia. I think he grew up in Georgia. He was born in Georgia. Yeah. Wrightsville. Yeah, that's a very old one, though. I don't know why.
Starting point is 01:35:56 In my head, that's the name that popped up. Well, he made headlines with Georgia recently, so that's not crazy. We got Jeff Foxworthy,worthy Bill Hicks Kenan Thompson me it's a weird list no comics it's the weirdest lineup of all time
Starting point is 01:36:11 no comics it's great it's comics from Georgia how would you structure that show yeah let's see
Starting point is 01:36:16 Kenan Thompson where is no Kenan Thompson's hosting oh you're right that's it you're right yeah
Starting point is 01:36:22 Bill Hicks Bill Hicks yeah you know he's probably got to close. Versus Foxworthy? I just think Foxworthy doesn't want to follow. I would bet Jeff would be like, you close. Is it now?
Starting point is 01:36:34 Are you doing all of your- Well, Hicks is dead. Yeah. If you look at the primes of their acts, just what they talk about, I think Foxworthy, I feel feel that's what i would be like let me go before just because i'm not going to be you're gonna you're you're gonna get them all riled up and like all this kind of stuff it's like just a different kind of so it's everybody everybody else's vibe you you and foxworthy and keenan everybody's vibe is kind of the same fun yeah and then you need hicks to come in and then be like.
Starting point is 01:37:05 He's got to close. Yeah. What about you put Bill Hicks up, then you throw John up after him. And then. And not as much time. Yeah, you could do that. You could do that. Like I'm a guest spot.
Starting point is 01:37:16 Yeah. I'm the guest spot. Yeah. But it's everybody in their prime. Yeah. I mean, you might be Keenan. If I'm Foxworthy, you might be like,
Starting point is 01:37:26 I want to go first. Like go Keenan Foxworthy, then John. Yeah. And then Bill Hicks. Hicks. I can lie to you. It's a pretty good show.
Starting point is 01:37:34 Yeah. I wonder if, yeah, I mean, because everybody's like, I'm from, like they don't claim that. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:37:38 I thought Bill Hicks was from Texas. They don't come up in that state. Like I came up in Denver. I would be like, where did you start comedy? I'd say Denver. I'm from, I started comedy in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Laughing Skull Lounge,
Starting point is 01:37:48 but I'm not part of that graduating class or whatever you call it. I mean, how long is the, when did you start? 2009, June 23rd. Golly. I remember the Laughing Skull being put in. The new little place. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:39:43 Bill Hicks. As of 2017. Anyway. So, Georgia. Well, some other famous people. Jimmy Carter. Oh, yeah. I guess he's got to win, right?
Starting point is 01:39:56 Well, he's one of them. Over T.I.? If anybody's listening, I just want them to know John couldn't be more serious about all his answers ludicrous ludicrous and ti do you know who jimmy carter is yeah yeah it's a president yeah habitat for just for where we how we grew up that you would say yeah you wouldn't well this is all time yeah young jesus not in there yeah young jesus, this is all time. Yeah. Young Jeezy's not in there. Yeah. Young Jeezy? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:27 That's a current person? We started that. Current person? Hip hop is everything. Well, that's not the state of Georgia. I guess that's Atlanta. Yeah. But Atlanta is also 60% of the population of Georgia.
Starting point is 01:40:37 Atlanta is 60? Okay. So there's like six, seven million in Atlanta, and there's probably like 12 in the whole state. Yeah. What's the demographics on that? Is he from? He was born in South Carolina, but he relocated to Atlanta. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 01:40:55 I guess I can't credit him. Young Jeezy. Young Jeezy. He was a toddler. I feel like you're a toddler. You move somewhere, you can take it. All right. A. Con and Young Jeezy. Nothing? Kanye? I don't know. somewhere, you can take it. All right. A, Kanye, Young Jeezy.
Starting point is 01:41:05 Nothing? Kanye? I don't know. Oh, yeah, Kanye West. We don't claim him because he's not part of the outcast. I thought he was Chicago. Outcast is Atlanta. I should have said it.
Starting point is 01:41:15 I should have started with outcast, I guess. If Kanye is, I mean, Kanye could be. He's born in Atlanta. I mean, he might be number one. He spoke at a Christian youth conference. Oh, dude, when he was three, he moved. I don't know who he replaced, but. Oh, that's so funny.
Starting point is 01:41:32 I forgot about that. I know exactly what you thought. When Kanye West is the guy you go to for some morality, who was the guy before? Let's just say they're both from Atlanta. Richard Jewell. Heck of a lineup, dude.
Starting point is 01:41:55 Richard Jewell would be another one that could see up there. I would say Kanye's got to be your number one. You're New York, right? With your career, you're a New like you you cut you're like you're new york right with your career you're a new york comic yeah yeah you're not a nashville comic i don't think kanye counts for georgie he moved to chicago when he was three we don't claim it's fair we don't claim him oh and he probably claimed chicago he talks about chicago yeah yeah that's true ray

Starting point is 01:44:58 Do y'all still say that? No. We have a checkered past. That's a good way to put it. Is that what y'all say? Georgia has a checkered past. That's a good way to put it. Is that what y'all say? Georgia has a checkered past. We will rebuild. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:45:10 Y'all say that at the Falcons game? We're 2-0. We're undefeated. Amen. Reloading. Are you a University of Georgia fan? Nah, Georgia Tech. We hate Georgia.
Starting point is 01:45:22 Really? You're just like, I'm a Vayner fan. That makes so much sense. I can't even make fun of you because I'm a Vayner fan. That makes so much – I can't even make fun of you because I'm – You're like, I've never related to John. You know what? We actually – so when I was growing up, like Georgia Tech, we had a split national championship with Colorado actually in 1990.
Starting point is 01:45:36 Wow. We were – Georgia Tech was like – and Georgia was horrible. And we were like – and all growing up, Georgia Tech was like – it wasn't like, and then I was like, you know, you get older and you're like, I should stop with these like rivalries. Like my buddies that like love Georgia. And I'm like, listen, I'm not as like, do we have a top five recruiting class? Like calling in the radio stations. Like, what are you doing? You're a grown man.
Starting point is 01:45:58 Right. Yeah. But then Georgia, when they were undefeated last year, beat Georgia Tech. Their fan base was so insufferable. It was like I reignited my hate for the University of Georgia. And I'm grown. I hate. I wish no success on anyone from the University of Georgia.
Starting point is 01:46:16 None. I don't. Well, they're having some. They are having some. Yeah. I don't like it. I just don't like it. They look very beatable this year, though.
Starting point is 01:46:25 But you think you would graduate out of that? Yeah. Josh. Josh Brooks, the athletic director. Yeah. Big fan of the podcast. Is he really? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:33 I went to the Georgia game with him. The national championship. National championship. Oh, wow. I went to it when they played Alabama in Indianapolis. Destroyed TCU. So he's a fan of this. But if they win, no school's ever three-peated, right?
Starting point is 01:46:46 In the modern era? Oh. Are they not? I don't think so. I got to win, though. No chance, dude. What's the modern era? Well, I guess that's debatable.
Starting point is 01:46:53 When they move the goalposts. Well, I was going to say, at least during the BCS and national championship. Yeah, no, that's a three-peat. Eight years ago. Well, the national championship is. BCS has been. Since four years. 25, I guess. is. BCS has been since four years. 25, I guess.

Starting point is 01:54:40 Yeah, but they could. Yeah, they're very, like the, yeah. It's almost the fact that they don't do it makes it scarier. Elephants, same. They don't. They would kill you out the fact that they don't do it makes it scarier elephants are the same
Starting point is 01:54:46 they don't they would kill you out of joy yeah they do it for the love of the game they don't do it for sustenance in defense
Starting point is 01:54:51 not to eat but that's crazy you really think only three animals eat meat yeah because the cheetahs have to kill a gazelle
Starting point is 01:54:59 and they drag it up into a tree to eat it up there so that yeah it's unbelievable do you see it happen yeah we were out there in an open air jeep and i was like this is terrifying and they were like no they think the jeep is an animal and they also have never been in conflict with it

Starting point is 01:56:19 or there's like a wildebeest were everywhere. So they were in the hierarchy of they would never do that. According to them, again. where there's like a wildebeest were everywhere. So they were like in the hierarchy of like, they would never do that. According to them again, but then that same in the ocean with a shark, it wouldn't eat you.
Starting point is 01:56:34 I'd be the one that happened. They can't. So they can't be so embarrassing. They've never eaten anybody. And then I'm the one that gets eaten. Big boy. Got it. He goes, now they,
Starting point is 01:56:43 they swallowed them whole. Yeah. I'm going to look, you see him swimming you're like you can see him see right there maybe they see a snake it's gonna see aaron's impressions like han solo in the in a great white belly yeah and there he is there was a guy that dressed himself up in a metal a metal outfit and then got swallowed by an anaconda just to see what it was like.

Starting point is 01:57:45 The stunt itself was called off due to safety concerns. Oh. He did not swallow, but the title. And it was widely criticized for false advertising. Okay. We learned right now. But it happened and it didn't happen. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:57:57 Why did that other thing say failed to survive? He's going to get in. Maybe it's two different guys. Maybe it's saying the show failed to survive. Yeah, maybe.

Starting point is 02:02:04 I remember watching that track. No socks and the golden shoes. That was awesome. Man. I mean, that guy. That was awesome to watch. That's the only sport, well, I guess now because of doping, I guess, the purest. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:02:18 Yeah, it's just straight up run. Just straight up run. Yeah, it's fun to watch. That's like the first sport ever. Just who can run the fastest. Now I don't even. Have you ever heard that thing about wrestling? No, what?
Starting point is 02:02:32 Okay, wrestling. Well, we went. We went to Raw. Okay, we went to Monday Night Raw. And it was like, wrestling's fake, right? That's the thing. Okay, so this one guy gets hit and he's bleeding. And I'm like, dude, Aaron, is that real? and he's bleeding and i'm like dude aaron is
Starting point is 02:02:45 that real and he's like no dad is real all right all right cool and then we're sitting there and then the guy gets a neck brace put on him and into a stretcher and i'm like dude what and then he rips it off hits the guys and then pins the guy i go is that real and And he goes, no. And I go, dude, this is incredible. And I was listening to Rogan on a podcast, and he said, that guy, Rick Rubin, he goes, wrestling is the best sport because never would you be watching a Vanderbilt game and a guy out of the stands would put on a jersey, kick a field goal, and then celebrate. You're like because your your imagination only goes in this maybe it is maybe yeah that's a bad example yeah maybe bad example but he said all the other the the sport you think it's real yeah but it's not none of it is real i mean yeah none of it is we had a woman kicker. Yeah. Not that. There's nothing wrong with that. No, but it's funny to think, like, you go out of the box of imagination.
Starting point is 02:03:51 Yeah. You're never going to see a female kick during a game. No, no, we did that. We did see that. Yeah, we did see that. But if you go, you're like, because what makes us the most mad about sports? Cheating. Oh, because these are the rules.
Starting point is 02:04:08 We have this framework of what's supposed to be. And then something like you would never see in a basketball game. Some guy fly down from like I was at the we were at the WWE or whatever it was. And Hardy, you know, Hardy, the country musician. Oh, man. When I came back the day after that, I talked about it a bunch. You did. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 02:04:27 I was so fired up about Hardy coming in the ring. Yeah. Cause he said, when you watch basketball, the dopamine rush to your brain is why you watch it. Right. Cause you watch it for entertainment. It's fun to watch. He's like, but if your team's down by 30 and there's two minutes left,
Starting point is 02:04:43 you're like, nothing can happen right but he's like in wrestling there's no bounds to what it is and you think the nba is real right but then remember when kobe this is way off on tangent remember when kobe bryant was going to play with dwight howard and chris paul for the lakers and they said yeah no what What do you mean, no? They were like, that was within the rules. But they go, no, this is going to mess up the entertainment product. Remember? They just said, no, you can't do that.
Starting point is 02:05:13 I don't remember that. I don't either. Then it just became, that's what all these NBA teams do. Yeah, but at the time. Yeah, I remember they stopped it. They put a stop to it. But going back to the running, what you want to watch sport, but there's nothing in sport that is real. That's the Dusty coming out of that seat.
Starting point is 02:05:33 Oh, shoot. I felt it when I sat down. Yeah. Triple H, I think, said one time, you can spend hundreds of dollars going to a sporting event. It could be a dud. For wrestling, you're guaranteed to get entertainment. Great point.
Starting point is 02:05:52 And if the goal of it is entertainment yes but watching people run now now you have like blood doping and like uh pt or like what i was gonna ptsds not uh yeah probably that too yeah but just watching people run but now you're like like, oh, you found out. You're like, oh, well, it's pointless then because like Alabama. CFCTs, MRIs. CTEs. Yeah. All right. Who would know? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:06:11 Who would know if somebody was like, hey, you like, it would be cool if so-and-so went and played for that team and like, hey, we're going to make this trade. But the NBA is also going to slide you $20 million under the table just to make that competitive. Okay. I think. Anyway, I'm into it. I'm wrestling. I'm into it.
Starting point is 02:06:34 I think Hulk Hogan's from Georgia. Oh, yeah. Obviously. You guys already assumed that. So, best wrestler of all time. I didn't know he was from there. Oh, yeah. I have a picture that he's not from nowhere.
Starting point is 02:06:43 Yeah. Or Florida. I thought Florida. He lives in Florida currently. But I think I read he was from Georgia. You want yeah. I picture that he's not from nowhere. Yeah. I thought Florida. He lives in Florida. But I think I read he was from Georgia. You want to tell us about Factor?
Starting point is 02:06:48 I'd love to tell you about Factor, man. I love it. Now, do it like Byron Allen. I usually do a good transition. Because Hulk Hogan is that. Aaron? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:07:04 Aaron, you've been eating a lot of meals lately? Yeah. I've been eating a lot of meals lately yeah i've been using factor oh yeah with the busy fall season already starting you might be looking for convenient meals for jam-packed days factor is america's number one ready where do you ever see vanderbilt kids uh around town where are they i remember they would go to like more when I was in college, like a lot of Vanderbilt kids. They'd go to bars like on Broadway. I think it's like Dumumbrian, that kind of area.
Starting point is 02:07:31 Yeah, but they'd go to Broadway. You see them at Sacco a lot. Sacco. We're in a different age bracket than their bars. You know what I mean? I've been in a bar and I'm like, I'm the oldest person here and I don't like the feeling of that. So I get out of there.
Starting point is 02:07:45 Yeah. it was like you know you go to Knoxville you're like oh these are all these are all I guess Nashville
Starting point is 02:07:51 is not a college town that's probably why yeah I mean Nashville is just it's going to be so many people now there's so many people I mean how big is the school not
Starting point is 02:08:00 it's not a big school but it's 8 or 9 thousand I think yeah but it's it's going to be now so many people are downtown that's bachelor parties that you're seeing versus yeah you know vandy kids some of the 7100 kids really undergraduate yeah oh yeah not that many uh atlanta's but kind of replaced Hollywood as uh thank you
Starting point is 02:08:26 movies and tv shows yeah that's good tax breaks yep I know we tend to see more in the game
Starting point is 02:08:32 how far down there is uh Tyler Perry because he should have been first I was about to say Tyler Perry Tyler Perry's our
Starting point is 02:08:38 yeah he's on our he kind of got started didn't he he's on our stone mountain yeah I was gonna say Mount Rushmore but I tried to make it Georgia. Tyler Perry.
Starting point is 02:08:49 I think people know what you mean. I'm a big Tyler Perry fan. Me too. I'm a huge Tyler Perry fan. Yeah. Didn't you go and see Tyler Perry live, Madea live? Yeah, I saw it live. In Memphis?
Starting point is 02:09:02 It was awesome. Yeah, I got this guy. This guy figured it out. Yeah. Tyler Perry figured it out. What was the show? Songs? It was like a play. live media live yeah i saw it live in memphis it was awesome yeah i got this guy this guy this guy figured it out yeah tyler perry figured it what was the show songs it was like it was like a couple live like scenes it was a couple live scenes and they had it was on the you know the huge screen behind it but they were all acting in an arena yeah it was awesome and he was in it yeah but it was like i mean there's 15 they were like do different like scenes yeah of like the show but they were live.
Starting point is 02:09:30 And it was, you know, I'm not trying to say this in a way that would make sense, but some of the jokes I was out on, I just didn't get them. Right. Because a lot of black culture. I go, I was like asking around. I go, what's that one? Yeah. You know? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:09:39 Who's that woman up there? Yeah. That's Medea. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Or a lot of the stuff, maybe I didn't follow the show, but it was incredible.
Starting point is 02:09:46 Packed. Yeah. That guy figured it out. Just the energy was unreal. He bought his own studio and he just makes all of his own movies. Yeah. It's great. I think I was watching Medea Christmas and Larry the Cable Guy's in it.
Starting point is 02:09:58 Have you ever seen it? No. Yeah. No, John. And he was like, yeah, they just called me up and we went down there for like two days and like he just riffed he's like i riffed all of my lines i was like yeah i think it's i watched one of them too and i i uh i thought real simple real yeah it's it's it's it's it's very uh it's nice to watch it's not super complicated and all this it's just purely just that's why so many people go watch it
Starting point is 02:10:26 because it's just a fun time. Like, you know. This little fool thinks she's getting a pony. I want to go watch this movie tonight. We can get into some sports. Yeah. Are you old enough to remember Sid Breen? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:10:47 It's 1991. I was in my kitchen. We didn't have a TV at the time, because we weren't allowed, because television, the devil was going to get into our house and do the TV. So we had a radio.
Starting point is 02:11:00 And we had all, I would have been seven years old, and we all gathered around the kitchen. And that's an iconic call, by the way, the radio call versus the TV call. Oh, here comes Sid Bream. He's got to run to the plate. Yeah, everybody knows that one. And we were listening on the radio.
Starting point is 02:11:16 And I never knew what, think about this. I never knew what Sid Bream looked like. Wow. Yeah, you've just been listening. I've been listening to the Braves games. Do you still, do you have any idea now? Well,
Starting point is 02:11:27 yeah. Yeah. I think he's coming to some shows. Oh, really? No, he might have. I don't know where he's at.
Starting point is 02:11:35 Yeah. But he, yeah, we was like, and I saw, I think many, many years later, I saw the,
Starting point is 02:11:41 I saw the play. Like I saw the TV, like play uh-huh like i saw the tv like review and i was like that is different than what i had in my mind and what that what was happening i think that's so much it's not a bad thing to or like it have moments like that that you visualize you have to visualize it instead of just it being when then you see it shown yeah it's like reading a book and not watching the movie yeah yeah or like did you guys you guys probably don't know what this is adventures in odyssey you know what that is i've heard it's like a kids but it's a radio show and it was about this town and all these characters and everybody's version of it is wildly different because you make up what the local store is like you make up right you made it all up in your head that's interesting and that's better than any movie that would ever
Starting point is 02:12:28 exist yeah and you saw the movie like 10 years later you go oh bummer but if you're like really dumbed and like it's it's not good in your head you know what i mean dang i didn't think about that yeah we had you want someone smart but you don't you don't. But do you know that you're really dumb? Like, do you know that you're. That's a good point. John just learned it right now. This is messing me up. The tree falls in the woods.
Starting point is 02:12:56 So if you're dumb, do you know you're dumb? No, you don't. There's a comic that I know like that, that he just puts out clips. And I go, he just like thinks he's great. I know a bunch of those. I go, that he just puts out clips and I go, he's just like, thinks he's great. I know a bunch of those. I go, maybe he wins.
Starting point is 02:13:11 Maybe he wins. And when we get off stage, I was terrible. No, right. I go, if that, maybe that guy wins.
Starting point is 02:13:17 I don't think they do. He's just out there living the dream, just doing, and he's bombing in his own mind. Yeah. But what John is saying, what is the difference yeah
Starting point is 02:13:26 if he does not even aware of reality yeah maybe he does win that's what i'm saying i think he does win i know this guy i follow this guy on tiktok just for this he's a musician and he like performs at like local like gazebos and parks and he thinks he is justin timberlake right and he's like i am and it's awesome it's like a blind man with an ugly wife isn't that an expression i don't know i don't think the expression would be a blind man with a pretty wife and there's something no like that's what i would think you would do that you're like that's like a blonde man with a pretty wife it's a waste of time or something he doesn't know that's
Starting point is 02:14:09 what i think the impression would be you're saying a blind guy thinks his wife's hot yeah so he doesn't know he better so in his mind so why why doesn't it why does it just let him think about it doesn't matter what's objectively true about it it's only matter how he perceives yeah that's deep think about it you know what i Yeah. And we should all be blind. We should all be blind. Racism. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:14:30 Crossroads. Well, we had a lot of unbelievable moments, but then the Falcons, Patriots, Super Bowl is... Oh, okay. That's part of our checkered past. 28 to 3. I still don't... Why do they say checkered past 28 to 3 I still don't why do they say checkered past
Starting point is 02:14:47 some good and some bad yeah I haven't looked this up I think like a checker checker board where it's like alternating good and bad spotted past checkered flag is also victory
Starting point is 02:15:02 that's a great point think about it checkered But his checkered flag is also victory. Yeah. That's a great point. Think about it. Checkered end zone. Checkered past. Yeah. Yeah. Like it just, checkers. It's an idiom to use to describe someone with a questionable or controversial history.
Starting point is 02:15:17 The phrase originated in the U.S. I think it's just like a word. It's kind of checkered. Got to the bottom of that. It's just a word. It's kind of checkered. Got to the bottom of that. It's just a word. Got it. The answer was checkered. You got a pretty wife, you're a blonde man.
Starting point is 02:15:30 I don't think still, I don't think those jokes are funny. That's like a pretty woman with an ugly blonde man. Yeah. What's the point? You know what everybody says. Who says that? Nobody. Everybody says that.
Starting point is 02:15:54 That would be just a drop-dead gorgeous woman. Yeah. Ugly blonde man. You're like, come on. She knows what she's doing. I don't know. Ugly blind man. You're like, come on. She knows what she's doing. That means Falcons have been going too long. We can't talk this long. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:16:13 Yeah. It's dying. It's dying, dude. Yeah. Is there anything else about Georgia sports you wanted to say, Darren? We're sitting at the top. I mean, the Falcons are undefeated with the help of our guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:16:24 Yeah. Nate Landman. Nate Landman. Oh, yeah. He's crushing it. He at the top. I mean, the Falcons are undefeated with the help of our guy. Yeah. Yeah. Nate Landman. Nate Landman. Oh, yeah. He's crushing it. He's the glue. The glue. The Braves clinched
Starting point is 02:16:33 first place, so. Braves are unreal this year. Might be the best Braves team ever. And the Braves have an advantage because of TBS. Because everyone
Starting point is 02:16:44 around the South was watching the Braves when I was coming up. Yeah, I was a Braves fan. America's team. Yeah, I don't think they said that. Yeah, I don't think they said that. It's the Cowboys.
Starting point is 02:16:51 I thought they called the Braves America's team. No, I don't think so. I thought you were joking. No, I was serious. I know the Cowboys is the football, but I thought baseball. I never heard the Braves called it.
Starting point is 02:17:01 I mean, I'd love it if that were true. Del Murphy. I thought back in the day at TBS, that's what they they i threw out the first pitch i think uh last year yeah i watched the video when everybody goes like that that's like the wood that's my biggest credit throwing out the first pitch yeah that's probably the coolest thing i've ever done mine is too it's the national sound that's the couch dude that's the chattanooga lookouts do you know matt olsen uh no i don't know we just got him this last
Starting point is 02:17:30 year but isn't he from your hometown uh lilburn yeah he's matt olsen is yeah i know that uh walker zimmerman who played the world cup yeah he's from the same place that uh we played soccer growing up yeah this was like y'all should talk about this after the show you know sports you know matt olsen that we played soccer growing up. Yeah, this was like, y'all should talk about this after the show.
Starting point is 02:17:46 What are you talking about? You know Matt Olsen? Yeah, he's a good guy. I did make a mistake. Do you ever do this? I was watching Dylan Lee is a relief pitcher for the Braves, and I thought he had a rough outing during the World Series, and I DM'd him. And I go, hey go hey dude keep your
Starting point is 02:18:06 head up oh and then i go yeah why did i do that yeah and he responded back or like but you ever like do that and you're like well i shouldn't have done that yeah i can see like you're like emotional about it you want to just think he would be emotional yeah then you got to go like i don't know him i don't know yeah like it's crazy I get it. Because your heart's in the really, really right place. It is. That's a mistake. We've all made it. Yeah, we've all made it.
Starting point is 02:18:30 I always try to give my now. Because I could see one of you. That's hilarious, actually. You got to give yourself a beat. Yeah. And just go like, do I? And think about what could come. What are we doing?
Starting point is 02:18:39 Do I want to talk to this guy? Yeah. Is this guy want to hear from me? What if he thinks he had a great game yeah like you said earlier and he lives in that reality and then you're like got an ugly wife yeah tell him that i almost dm'd uh aaron rogers to say keep your head up yeah yeah but then i didn't because i've done i did it to uh because people did that with you yeah i mean a Good and bad.
Starting point is 02:19:05 But yeah, people were saying we love... But you're like, I shouldn't say that. But you've had that work. Didn't your friendship with Scott Stapp start that way? Yeah. Just a random... Yeah. There you go.
Starting point is 02:19:16 But then you... Take a stab. Yeah. And if they don't respond to this... What did you tell him? Like, sorry, you're not touring anymore? Scott Stapp? Yeah.
Starting point is 02:19:22 Did he get canceled or something? No. I saw him at the Preds game like three years ago. And it's funny because I go, that guy's sober. I guarantee you that guy's sober. And he just looked sober
Starting point is 02:19:34 from how he used to look. And I went to DM him and he had DM'd me like a year ago about someone on my bench. And I was like, dude, what's up? We're at the, we're at the game.
Starting point is 02:19:46 Yeah. Yeah. That rules. But I did it to Harrison Budker, who is the kicker for the chiefs. And he went to Georgia tech. So I was like, dude,
Starting point is 02:19:53 tough miss go jackets. And then I was like, you've got like a trend going. But I guess I, you know, I do. I do. I think so,
Starting point is 02:20:02 but it's embarrassing when they don't respond, but you don't, do you ever, would you ever come good news to them? You ever say, congrats? I feel like I relate to them when they're struggling. They want to hear from people when they're down. Tough miss. Because then Aaron Rodgers said, thanks for all the DMs and everybody that supported me.
Starting point is 02:20:17 And I was like, dang, I'm not on that. Well, you did DM. No, I didn't. Not until after that. I thought about it. Yeah, I thought about it. Oh, when he got hurt. Yeah. Yeah, I could see that. You could reach out. You just want to be like, hey, I just want to. Because it, yeah. you did dm no i didn't i said i thought about it yeah i thought about it when he got hurt yeah yeah
Starting point is 02:20:25 yeah i could see that you could reach out you just want to be like hey i just want to because it yeah yeah because your heart hurts that he got hurt but you know what yeah somebody when somebody has a good or like dude i got thousands of texts saying and like i i if i would want to be a part of that yeah i don't need a response from it but i would want to be a part of that. It's very nice. I don't need a response from it, but I would want to be. I think Aaron Rodgers getting hurt makes sense. Yeah. Kicking the field goal. I mean, that guy was very willing to be buried in a hole.
Starting point is 02:20:52 And you go, hey, dude. Yeah. You know, tough miss. Yeah. Or something like that. Go Jackets. It's funny, actually, that not to. Jackets.
Starting point is 02:21:01 No, because I was like, that's the connection I have, but I didn't even go there. So it's like, yeah. My brothers got got in i didn't get in yeah but that's how i have to do every vain thing i have to got it go there go jacket there you go but you go you say jacks or jackets jackets go jackets is it the golden jackets yellow yellow yellow yellow jackets. The yellow jackets. Yeah, go jackets.
Starting point is 02:21:27 Do y'all say go jackets? Oh, yeah, we say go jackets. Yeah. Go jackets. Tough miss. Go jackets. Let me see what I actually said to him. He doesn't even know what's going on.
Starting point is 02:21:41 He's probably going, I don't even know this guy's preference. And he goes, no, you played for the yellow jackets. He goes probably going, I don't even know this guy's preference. And he goes, no, you played for the Yellow Jackets. He goes, oh. Oh, yeah. It gets weird. Oh, yeah. That's right.
Starting point is 02:21:51 Hold on. I got it. Tough miss. Hey, no. Oh, he must have won. I think he won the Super Bowl. Okay.
Starting point is 02:21:58 Won the Super Bowl and he went, I said, big kick. It was February 13th. Super Bowl. So Super Bowl. Yeah. Big kick, brother. It was February 13th. Super Bowl. So Super Bowl. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:22:15 Did he respond? Yeah. He did. What did he say? Who dissed? Go Jackets 2. Did he go Jacket, Jacket, Jacket? Jack, Jack, Jacket, jacket, jacket?
Starting point is 02:22:26 I don't know. Is that y'all's thing or something? Yeah. But you do relate. Yeah, you go, I shouldn't, I shouldn't, I shouldn't. But was he grateful that you? Yeah, no, it's his assistant. Or whoever's running his account.
Starting point is 02:22:38 I think the kicker's running his own account. If I had to guess. But this is why you shouldn't have. It's like the rock. I don't know if you run this. I run it. There's 8,000 followers. Is this really you?
Starting point is 02:22:57 Yes. I feel like we've just been going too long. You would never say like, yeah, I mean, you get emotional about a certain thing. That's why we shouldn't have the internet. You shouldn't be able to message anyone. Yeah. No one should be able to message anyone. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:23:18 But anyone can message anyone. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's that direct. It is crazy. That you can just say what say and you might see it. Yeah. Tough Miss Go Jackets.
Starting point is 02:23:33 That's crazy. Let me see what I said to Dylan Lee because it was nice. I think. I think we got all we want out of it. Is that it?
Starting point is 02:23:44 Yeah, that's a good one. So that's it. Tour-wise, I'm starting back up, about to be on a decent run for the rest of the year. So I'm excited. Starting off in Wheeling, West Virginia. Wheeling. Wheeling. Wheeling.

I remember that specifically because it was a bullpen start. We only had three starters. So we had a bullpen game, and they were like, I guess we're starting Dylan Lee.
