Yeah. I forgot the decorum here. I'm sorry. I'm just excited to be back, man. I haven't seen you in three months. No, no. Yeah, I understand that.

All right. I'll let you finish. Go ahead. Nate Bargetti, Brian Bates, and Herbert Dusty Slay. All right. Aaron, go ahead. It's good to be back, man.

Yeah. I think it was Labor Day was the last time we were all together. I don't remember which one's which. That's May or September. It's September. Oh, yeah. What's in May? Memorial Day.

Memorial Day. Those are big ones. Well, we're back. Seems a good connection. Yeah. The chemistry's back. The chemistry picked up right where it left off. Yeah, because you were in, where'd you go?

You went somewhere crazy. I was in South America for two weeks. All over the place. All over Brazil. I've been excited to talk about it. Chile, Argentina. I streamed Nate on SNL. Oh, Chile.

From Argentina. Oh, you come on SNL. Oh, Chile. From Argentina. Oh, you come back and now you call it Chile. Look, I would still like to call it Chile, but you sound like an idiot in Chile going, hey, it's good to be here in Chile. You know, you get corrected a lot. But here, you can call it Chile. Okay, yeah, I was in Chile. Yeah, you're back.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well, like Australia, when you say Melbourne, there's almost, they tell you not to say it, but then I think they almost go, just say Melbourne. Yeah, here it's Melbourne and Chile. Yeah. All right, my bad, guys. Yeah.

I'm sorry. You're back in America now. You're back in North America. Oh, you're right. Yeah. Yeah. Joe Zimmerman pointed out that South Americans are Americans. Yeah, there's not a lot of, they're not saying that down there. Yeah. Yeah. Joe Zimmerman pointed out that South Americans are Americans.

Yeah. There's not a lot of, they're not saying that down there. I didn't learn that. Yeah. The vibe doesn't feel. I'll tell you the big thing I noticed right when I landed back, man, the cars are so much bigger here. It's a real, real size thing. Now, I took Ubers all around South America.

Everything's small. Even the Uber XL is like a sedan. And then I landed in Nashville. I got an Uber XL. It was a Cadillac Escalade. I was like, I'm back. It's good to be back in America. Back in the North. Big money there. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Your house is like three

minutes from the airport. $16 from the airport. Might as well ball out every now and then. Yeah, long trip. How close were you to Antarcticaarctica pretty close dude pretty close you couldn't see it i mean i say pretty close but i looked it up and it was about a thousand miles away but that's as close as i've ever been okay yeah yeah i'm trying to uh well i've been decided i've been uh uh America. I've been to Africa. I don't know.

I don't know where I've been. El Salvador. Isn't that South America? Is that Central America? Why do we have all the America stuff, man? I don't know why they did that. That one guy, Americo Vespuches, he got a lot named after him. Yeah, he did a lot.

Yeah. I feel like we should all probably, and I almost think everybody would be like, I'm fine redoing it. Yeah. Like, let's just go, we'll redo it. Yeah. Why be North and South America? I mean, there's enough room for us to just name different stuff. Well, just be Canada.

Just be what you are. You don't even have to be a continent. You could just be a country. Yeah. Okay. just be a country. Yeah. Okay. Continent seems ridiculous. Oh, it's like we live in the Americas. Well, I think it would be our, we would need to be not called America, I guess.

You would be, we would be. Just the United States. The United States. Yeah. United States. So I guess it is that, because then it is all just the Americas, and we have just taken over the United States. Yeah. United States. So I guess it is that because then it is all just the Americas and we have just taken over the word America. Yeah. So actually we might have just solved our own problem here.

Maybe we're just saying, listen, you guys, your states aren't united. Ours are. You're America, but we're the United States of America. We're the U.S. of A. Yeah. We're all, we are together. I feel like it's a little more broken up.

Yeah. In other places. I don't feel like Chile and, I don't know, any other country in South America. Yeah.

So you were way down there. Way down there. What's the temperature down there? It's their winter, right? It's kind of the opposite seasons, obviously, because of the other side of the equator. But it was pretty cold, like real south down there, 30s, 40s. Oh, really? Yeah.

It looks like you were under some icebergs in some of those photos. Yeah, we went to some glaciers out there. You're at the Blue Square? Yeah, that's the Blue Square where we did the hike. This is Glacier National Park. You're the blue square? Yeah, that's the blue square where we did the hike. But this is Glacier National Park. Are you on a tour or are you just? This is just a national park that you can go to. Yeah.

You can get pretty close to it. That's crazy. And they said every year it's a little smaller than it was the year before. So now's a good time to go see it before it's completely gone. She walked across it? That was all glacier that's where i try to make a snow angel out there yeah that's where you stepped that part failed it's like 60 feet high i think and then it's like 17 kilometers deep which i still don't know how many miles that is but pretty deep so that's a huge glacier just chilling there and every minute

or so you hear just a huge piece fall into the water it's pretty awesome out there man did you see other people or yeah this was an area everyone's coming up to get the view of it right here so there's people from all over the here all the different languages yeah that's your picture yeah yeah i mean that looks like uh in a magazine yeah did you take your drone down there uh no i didn't take my drone and i regretted it until they have pretty strict drone regulations everywhere i went they're like please for the love of god don't fly a drone around so i wouldn't be able to do much with it anyway i would think yeah it's almost good man you don't need drone people or they're gonna you are kind of a problem like you just you do it and you're like here we go and you're just in the middle of a party and you're just looking at a video game screen and you gotta be like hey man what's going on he's like i'm flying over your

neighbor's house that's cool man i can see the top of your roof let me look at your roof i guess if you're flying up there so i had this is an animal that's uh it's basically like they're deer in parts of argentina and they're called guanos. They're basically llamas and they can't be domesticated because they will just jump over fences and you can't get too close to them. They'll spit at you. So these guys are just running all over the place. Now, when you're driving through rural Argentina, there's all these ranches on either side with barbed wire fences, but they can't keep these guys in because they just jump over the fence. I saw them jump over fences,

but sometimes these guys will put their fences a little too high. And these, these good knuckles will try to hop the fence and just get caught on the top. I saw probably a hundred of these llamas just dead on the fence because they couldn't jump high enough. And some of them been there so long. It was just a skeleton of these chilling on the top of the fence because they couldn't jump high enough. And some of them have been there so long, it was just a skeleton of these, just chilling on the top of the fence in the middle of nowhere.

Why are they not eating them? They do eat them. I had some guanaco. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's all right. It's not bad. How high would the fence, why don't they just go a little bit higher?

Why don't they go, hey, the fence that has all the bodies on it, let's go up a little bit higher on that one. Just another foot. And then we can't domesticate them? It's funny, though, the answer they go, you can't domesticate them. You're like, why not? You're like, they jump over the fences. You're like, well, there's got to be a fence they can't get over.

We're not, you know, you could go higher. I know it's a lot of fence to build. Yeah. But we could do it. How high is the fence that they can't jump over? No one knows. Yeah. No, no, that are getting them caught up in.

Typical, yeah, probably five or six feet. Yeah. Go eight. Maybe a little taller than that. Go eight. Look, I think you're right. I think they're figuring this stuff out. This is Nate's point. I mean, I'm just jumping on it here. Like your privacy fence. You just go a little higher. Yeah. You go 10 feet, turn the fence

inside out like his and then boom. Well, I don't know if there's a big appetite to keep these things in. I'm surprised you didn't bring that up down there. That's guanacas? Yeah, like I'm American. I know a little bit about building walls or whatever. Yeah. But it was very, very cool. It's beautiful.

The whole trip. We were in Brazil for a wedding where they speak Portuguese. Who got married? My wife's brother married a girl from Brazil. Oh, wow. So it was half portuguese they don't speak any english half english they don't speak any portuguese so it's interesting like dynamic in the group the ceremony was kind of split in half yeah uh most countries around south america in my experiences they all know a little bit of english you go into a store they know how to say hi or whatever it's like how we all know a little bit of English. You go into a store, they know how to say hi or whatever. It's like how we all know a little Spanish.

In Brazil, I think only 5% of the country knows any English. So you're really just on your own out there. So my wife's family, I've said it before, is Jewish. And the family that he's marrying into is Catholic. So it was like a half Catholic, half Jewish ceremony. And we did it at my wedding. It's a Jewish tradition where you break the glass

on the ground. Do you remember we did that? Yeah. You put a glass between like a middle of a blanket and you stomp at it. And then you go like, Opa! Yeah. But some inside baseball that it's common to use something other than a glass like you we my wedding we used a light bulb just so you could crunch it and you're not gonna break your foot trying to so my brother-in-law texted me the day of the wedding

and he was like i need you to get me a light bulb so i was like all right so i've been i've been brazil i don't speak any portuguese you know and i gotta get a light bulb so i look like all right so i've been i've been brazil i don't speak any portuguese you know and i gotta get a light bulb so i look around my hotel room to steal one from the hotel room and they're all like plastic they're not the kind you want and i don't even know where to go to get a light bulb you know in america you know i know home depot i know the stores where i i don't know what anything is and then you open up google and google's in port Portuguese. I'm like, no, I don't know where to go. Can't you translate? Well, you could.

What I'm saying is it's more complicated than it would be. I don't even know what kind of store has it. Babel. Use Babel. You could Babel. See, this is the thing. Babel is great for any of this language stuff. It's good for normal situations.

Hello. Thank you. I'm sorry like i need to track down a light bulb so i can smash it for a jewish ceremony in sao paulo brazil is anyway so i i ubered to uh like a construction wholesale store and i'm inside the store and i've got google translate open on my phone and i'm trying to tell the guy, it's like two guys playing charades in the middle of the store. I like,

I need a light bulb and he types in like, what do you need light bulb for? And I'm like, I need light bulb to smash such a crazy situation. So we found, anyway, I got a real big one. It was,

but it took like five hours. I mean, a real big one. Wow. Real big one. And it made like five hours. I mean, a real big one. Wow. Real big one. And it made a good noise when he smashed it. I felt good. How would they use plastic light bulbs in hotels?

Well, it was like an LED light bulb, but like half of it's plastic, or they're like smart light bulbs. Yeah. I wanted just a glass one that you could really smash with your foot. Yeah. Why did they use a light bulb?

What do you mean? A glass would break your foot? It's a lot harder. It's harder than you think to just break a drinking glass. So anything you can use to simulate that. I would think the thing to do would be try to just find a cheap glass. I would feel like that would be easier than going around Brazil trying to find a light bulb. You would think a light bulb, though, would be easier than going around brazil trying to find a you would think a light bulb though would be i'd be curious to see if you could have got to light bulb quicker than you did

took five hours it did take a long time was it scary carting around uh going from place to place in brazil trying to communicate with people and not being able to speak the language a little bit when you're like oh nobody here knows any english and they don't care to yeah you know so i'm just i'm i spent so much time just typing holding stuff up people were cool about it i walked into a gas station at like two in the morning it's the night of the wedding i'm wearing a suit but you know like it's the time of night where like the tie is a little undone i look like a slob right right? So I go into this gas station, and I grab gum, and it knocks over the entire display. I mean, I'm not exaggerating. Thousands of items sprayed out all over the floor of this gas.

And I look up. It's just me and this Brazilian guy. And all I know to say is, I'm sorry. So I just kept going, just scope, just scope. He's like, you know. He and I got on the floor and picked all this up took a long time wow but situations like that you're like i could explain myself i could speak your language but i can't what would you have said though i mean how did you knock over big coat I had a kid come up to me the first night I'm there I'm outside the bar and there's a kid probably nine he walks up he's got a bag of lollipops on him he walks up you know he's

trying to sell the lollipops and he starts talking to me in Portuguese and I go I don't know I just got here I don't know any Portuguese and he's trying to sell and I go I don't know give me some time I'll learn that I just got here it's my first night here and he's trying to sell it. And I go, I don't know. Give me some time. I'll learn. It's my first night here. And he just grabs me, this kid, he like grabs my shirt like this. And he goes,

money, money, money. So I go, okay, much. I take out my Google translate and I go, I don't have any cash.

Sorry, dude. And I hold it up to him. And then he grabs my phone, which they tell you, it's the number one thing to tell you not to do. Yeah. Just hand your phone to strangers on the street. Don't give someone a microphone.

Yes, exactly. Yeah. Well, this kid, I feel like, you know, we had a good conversation.

Kind of. He grabs my phone. He types in, um, you don't have cash. Can you use picks? He keeps going, picks,

picks, picks. And I go, I don't know what picks is you use picks? He keeps going, picks, picks, picks. And I go, I don't know what picks is. It's P I X. He types in P I X and it translates just to P I X on the phone. It turns out picks is like their Venmo over there. And I'm trying to translate what pick anyway,

this is like a 30 minute interaction with this kid. So I gave him $40,000, which is like, no, no, no. I'm trying to remember what, what the-

Mr. Uber XL. No, the Brazilian dollar is 20 cents for a dollar. So everything's- So I gave him like 20 bucks or something, which was like $5. Oh, okay. Yeah. You gave him $20 cash, American?

A Brazilian dollar. Oh. 20 Brazilian dollars. Yeah. It was like five bucks. On picks? Not on picks. I went and got cash okay wow i talked to the kid for a while yeah it was like an interesting interaction i've never talked

with a kid he didn't spoke no english i spoke no portuguese and we just sat there and talked for a while i had a lot of conversations with nine-year-old brazilian kids i have not believe it or not it feels like and it's it seems like this was a big bulk of your trip with just these three things. Like you're light bulb, five hours at least. The knocking over the gum was an hour,

two hours. This was a 30-minute conversation. I mean, you're like, I don't even know. Then you had a wedding. I didn't even make the wedding. We headed home. Then you headed home wedding. Yeah. I didn't even make the wedding. Yeah. We headed home. Yeah. Then you headed home. Saw some dead guanacas.

Yeah. It was very cool, though, dude. And it was very cool from our hotel room in Argentina. Took me a long time to figure it out, but I was able to stream NBC and watch Saturday Night Live. All right. From the other side of the planet. Yeah. It was very cool.

Anyway, so I'm glad to be back. Good to see everybody. Y'all went to a bunch of other places? Did you stay in the same hotel? South Palo over a few days and then we went to Santiago, Chile. There you go. Was it warm anywhere?

Not really. Nowhere we were. It was all pretty chilly. Went to a big soccer... Chile. Chile. I went to the Brazilian League soccer game. Actually, they call it Fuji ball in Portuguese.

Isn't that fun? Yeah. Fuji ball. Packed out. It was like a last second tie. Crazy, crazy culture. Zero, zero? One to to one one to one but the the the tying goal was at the very end of the gate like literally in stoppage time is there a signed seat so you just find a seat there's a signed seats yeah we had a section

up here in the club seat middle times over there gotta so how do they do it there you gotta fight someone for the seat all right i'm asking that because lucy told me y'all had a fight for what do you do there you find a smaller man a young woman and you just beat her for a seat how do they talk us through that aaron i think our group we went with a big group from the wedding we had a section so like we individually didn't have seats but we had a

a section so you had to fight amongst yourself yes we had to fight amongst ourselves so all the people in Chile are like ah America

here we go fighting they see Aaron walking in from 400 yards out oh that guy's he goes sit wherever he wants

to sit you over wants to sit. You over here. He doesn't fit in our cars. I want to play some of the game. They go, you got to let him, dude. Look at him. He's a big guy, big. What seats were you talking about fighting?

Lucy told me that at that match, y'all had to kind of fight your way in for seats, but I guess you just meant amongst your group it was packed in. Yeah, I don't really know what she meant by that. Okay. Probably wasn't trying to talk to you that long. Just trying to kind of. Just moving along?

Just kind of moving along. And then didn't expect it to be brought up every bit. It was in passing. But man, very cool trip. Like once in a lifetime type thing you know you never think you'll go spend two weeks in south america so it was it was very special but i'm happy happy to be back i was in albany this weekend how about whiplash going from patagonia to albany new york that's our chalet that's right yeah uh you went straight you home. I came home for a day

or two and then immediately flew out. You need a Google translator there? I felt like I did a couple times. Albany is a bit redneck, though. I like it. They got a bit of a country vibe. Smallbunny. That's what they kept calling it.

You ever heard that? No. That's a pretty bad nickname, isn't it? Smallbunny? It would seem like someone making fun of them. That's what they kept calling it. You ever heard that? No. That's a pretty bad nickname, isn't it? Yeah. Smallbitty? Yeah. It would seem like someone making fun of them. It is, but they've kind of embraced it in a way. Mm-hmm. I liked it. I walked to a grocery store there, and I was like, oh, they're pretty country in here.

I'm like, I fit right in up in there. Yeah. What grocery store did you go to? I don't know. It was just down the way from the hotel. I don't remember the remember the name it wasn't okay it wasn't a public's or a harris teeter oh there you go you know yeah trader times yeah it seemed to get a good time up there if i can walk to a grocery store it's a good time yeah you know with your shirt off yeah yeah when you're a motel and you're already outside and then you go walk to the grocery store. Exactly.

Fire up the hot plate. I can feel like you asked for, when they try to put you in a hotel, you're like, I'd like my door to be outside. Yeah. Can I get, yeah. Can the outdoor be my patio? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You go, how quick do you want to get to your car? Pretty quick. Yeah. I say I want to open the door. I want to get up in the morning and open the door. Like you would like a motel. Like are the, in theory. I do. Yeah. I say I want to open the door. I want to get up in the morning and open the door. Like you would like a motel. Like in theory. I do.

Yeah, I do like that. I would like them to be cleaner and safer. But I like the idea. Like if I go to a hotel and they're like, what floor? I'm like, can I be on the first floor? I don't want to go to the elevator every time. Yeah. You can take steps too.

Yeah. Yeah, second floor. I sometimes take the first floor. You're just, you're worried. You know, you're like, you're just, if you forget to unlock, set, lock something, like you're just there. You're out. Oh, yeah.

But I do like the first floor. It always is very nice when you're just like, stay in the first floor. Do women prefer the first floor or the, there's one that's safer than the other? I don't know. Brian? I knew you were going to say that.

I saw that coming. You felt it coming. I'm like, here we go. Let's let him finish. I can't remember what the logic. You could convince me either way is more safe. Wait. Say what?

Say it again. One is more safe to be on the first floor or on a higher floor. I think higher floor. Higher floor. Okay. So somebody can't break through your window from the ground. Oh, okay. That makes perfect sense.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You ever stay multiple nights in a different city and then forget what your room number is? Oh, yeah. I just did that. I was in Chicago, and this girl got in the elevator at the same time as me, and I was fumbling for my key, and I was like, by the buttons, I was like, oh, what floor? She goes floor she goes you know 19 so I hit 19 and then I find my key and I'm like

I was like oh I'm 19 too I was like and then I'm like worried that she thinks I'm gonna be following her so I'm like but you see I am 19 here you know and I'm like trying to explain to her because she was like a young girl and I thought yeah and then I was like you I'll go first if you want so that you know that I'm not following you and I made it so weird yeah yeah but I just was like, I'll go first if you want so that you know that I'm not following you. And I made it so weird. Yeah. Yeah. But I just was like, God, it just seems, it just got so weird. Yeah.

And I think she was even like, it's okay. Take it easy. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, you just be like, oh, 19-2. Works out. I did that with the girl from Outback that's Leanne's promoter. Yeah.

And we got back to the hotel and she had a friend with her and she's 20 something years old. And I was like, what floor? Same thing. Six, four. I am too. And then I was like, what's your room number? And she's like six, four.

I'm like, I'm six. Oh two. And they're like, what are the odds? You know? And we walk all the way and we get there. She's here and I'm here and I'm doing my key card and it's not working. And it looks like I just followed her the whole way. I'm like, oh, my key card's not working.

Can I come into yours? And it was from the night before. Oh, okay. Were you in that room? The night before I was in 602. My point is when you're in a different hotel every night, you forget. But it was a long conversation of what are the coincidences? We're on the same floor across from each other.

And it looked like I just made it all up. And what was your room? 1845 or something. I don't know. It was a different floor. Would it have been a crazy coincidence for two people in town for the same event, booked in the same reservation to have rooms next to each other? It doesn't sound like that crazy.

We try to put everybody in ours pretty much next to each other. In her case, for whatever reason, she didn't book it through. Yeah, yeah. The Outback books their own thing, so you're not really doing it. Sometimes she doesn't even stay at the same hotel as Leanne. Oh, okay. But in this case, she was, And then I thought across from me. I was checking into a hotel and the guy in front of me was being kind of a creep.

It's like a pretty younger woman working the desk. And she goes, do you have any preference of floors? And he goes, what floor are you staying on? And she goes, I work here. He's like, I'm not staying at the hotel you idiot he's like okay I'll take floor three

just with a terrible line yeah floor you stay on that's how you start in the stay yeah you gotta pass her

every time you go through the lobby oh what floor are you staying on I have a house I live I live in town

I don't live at the hotel I work at you idiot you should have been in the gun right behind him and go I have a house. I live in town. I don't live at the hotel I work at. You idiot. You should have gone right behind him and go, can you believe that guy? If you stayed here, what for? Where do you live?

Yeah. Yeah, just go. What a ridiculous thing. What part of the neighborhood are you from? She asked for your phone number. What's your phone number? Dusty, you want to tell us about AG1? Oh, yeah.

If you're a big, I don't know what happened to my voice. If you're a big Nateland fan, you know that we have been drinking AG1 for a couple of years. We all started drinking AG1 daily and really feel like we're doing something good to cover all our nutritional bases. That's because AG1 is a foundational nutrition supplement that supports your body's universal needs like gut optimization, stress management, and immune support. Since 2010, AG1 has led the future of foundational nutrition. I guess the nutrition. Right. I guess the equator. Yeah.

Like when you're right around there, it's like nice all year. And then you're kind of writing, we're a little bit, we're close to the equator, closer than you think. Way closer than you think. Yeah. When you see it like out,

you're like, oh yeah. Yeah. I didn't know the equator was so far down. I was thinking it was more in Mexico. I thought it was in the middle. Yeah. I didn't know the equator was so far down. I was thinking it was more in Mexico. I thought it was in the middle. Yeah. Of Mexico?

No, just of the world. I mean, it is, right? That's what I'm saying. I didn't know the middle was so far. Yeah, it's in the middle. Well, I thought Mexico was like the middle. The middle of the, okay. Yeah.

Yeah, like in South America. Be careful about my words here. Of the earth. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it'd be like Mexico, middle of the okay yeah yeah like then be careful about my words here the of the earth yeah yeah well it'd be like mexico and you think south america would be like its own thing down there is that el salvador south america or no yeah i think so right where is it i think it's right on in Mexico. You think El Salvador is in Mexico? Yeah, Honduras. Because El Salvador is next to Honduras.

Right here. Right here. That was embarrassing for those watching. I didn't know where it was. Yeah. So I never. We can't know the whole everything. It's a big world.

Yeah. It's a big world. But yeah, so I don't know if I've, I don't think I've ever been to South America. But yeah, so I don't know if I've, I don't think I've ever been to South America. Well, I mean, it's, that's Central America, but I think it might technically be part of the continent of South America. I don't know where the cutoff is. It's fine. Well, it's all.

Anyway, hope those stories weren't boring. It was just so much was happening. I was just thinking about. It was great. I couldn't wait to hear about it. I think it's good we got it done with. Great. I couldn't wait to hear about it. I think it's good we got it done with. I thought the light bulb thing was funny to me. It must have felt good that you accomplished it, right?

I was so proud that I tracked down a good light bulb. It's such a small part of the ceremony. Nobody really cared, did it i was proud it does seem like the kind of story that like you finally show up with the light bulb and they're like oh we got one oh you've been looking for one this whole time oh yeah we got one oh yeah five minutes after we asked you we have found one yeah we didn't know it'd be that big of a thing so did you get like a garage light bulb i don't know light it was no it was a big circular kind of traditional looking yeah light bulb it's like that's like you're super does it say glass show up with the alcohol you

just know i took it out and i held it and i felt it with the guy smacked you stopped on one you it's perfect but i'm fake smashing it with the guy in the store. But you know what it reminded me of? I remember in college once on a tailgate, I thought I would be the man and go to McDonald's and get like 50 breakfast sandwiches and then show up to the tailgate and have food for everybody. And I showed up and dude, nobody. I walked out and I was like, I got breakfast. Everyone's like, oh, cool.

Nobody ate it. Any of it. I felt like such a moron 50, what did you get, 50 egg and muffin? yeah, or just like whatever the dollar when was this? this was in college I'd get a new friend group the money this guy has

I know that was college I know and he just out on a whim goes by 50, What was that? Four grand? Yeah. How do your friends not care either?

It's like you got to eat an egg McMuffin just because you brought it. No, you just have this vision in your mind of you're like, you're the hero when you show up. Yeah, exactly. It's just, it's never that. In my mind, you are the hero though. Oh, thanks, dude. Yeah, I would think that'd be pretty awesome. What time was the tailgate?

This is early. I don't know, eight or nine. No one ate them? Maybe, you know, you pick out. You expect them to swarm to the bags. College kids? I would think. Is there other food there?

I would honestly think. There's other stuff going on. Any college, you could just drive at any time and just throw 50 egg muffins at any of their faces, and they'd be gone in two seconds. Look, I agree with you. That's how I would have behaved if somebody showed up with all that. Yeah, because, I mean, college kids, I always like when you, if you see some young and you're like, you want some food? Like college, because they're like, oh, yeah, I'll eat.

They'll eat at any time. Yes, and whatever. Whatever. No concern of what they've already eaten that day or anything. Yeah. Did you take them with you? That's the best age to feed because they will eat anything. Did they just go to waste? I don't know.

They just sat there. I would have tore it up back then. Oh, thanks, man. That's crazy, man. Sorry about that. It's all good? I'd been drinking in the morning and I'd be like, all right, let's get it going. You know what I mean? Notre Dame screwed me this weekend. Yeah.

Sorry about that, man. Can't be betting against Clemson out here. No. No. They had four losses. What was your record? We should have beaten them. Well, can't be doing it.

Do you know what your record was from game day? College game day. If you don't know, I was on college game day. There he is. Get off his private jet. Insane. I was telling brian this felt like a bigger deal to me than snl i know it's not or i don't know it's great this show was a bigger part of my life than ever was yeah yeah i didn't even see any of that stuff they uh you're like i come out i was hoping to wear your flowery jacket yeah well uh so they uh i didn't really know they're like, I come out. I was hoping you'd wear your flowery jacket. Yeah.

Well, so they, I didn't really know. They're like, they show you get off the plane. So they tell you like, you know, like I get off and then everybody else would get off after me. So in my head, I thought the camera would be like right at the, so when I come out, I'm looking, I'm like, well, there's not even a camera. Well, like, where's the camera? That's what I thought. And so it takes me a second to find it. And then I found it. I'm like, oh, okay, that makes sense.

And then, yeah. So, yeah, went down there. Got up. I mean, our show the night before ended at 1130 midnight. You know, got back to the room about time. Slept probably three hours. Got up at 1130 midnight, you know, got back to the room by the time I slept, probably three hours, got up at 630, go to the airport. They fly you and then you land.

And I had the theory I was trying to like, cause I mean, I got asked to do this. It was like Herb Street texted a mutual someone we know mutually kirk herb street kirk herb street like we have not met i've not met kirk up street but we we know a lot of the same people so and so like i was getting asked kind of mutually through that and then in my head i'm like man i thought they would do it i thought it just would happen some other way and this was uh i think it was wednesday or thursday when i were like, hey, do you want to come down? And so I was like, okay. And I'm at a four o'clock show in Chicago.

That's insane. And so we got up six or seven. It's unreal. You fly down there. You get a police escort. You go in there and you go in there. You fly down there. You get a police escort. You go in there and you do your pics and stuff. I was a little nervous with college fans because college football fans can be just insane people. We're all college football fans, but there's a level.

And you're in Tuscaloosa. Yeah. I know people are like, why do you have someone that has nothing to do with Alabama? Even though my wife's from Alabama and my wife's an Alabama fan. But that's not why they did it. I don't know. I don't know. Does everybody have some reason they're with whoever?

I don't think anymore. Yeah. They had Eric Stone Street's done it a couple times, I think. And one time it was for just some very random team,

maybe Clemson or something. So, you know, I almost said last week, you've done your part to get after SNL to get to the level where

if Vandy can get their act together, you could be the guest picker. Yeah. It never crossed my mind you would be it for somebody

other than Vandy. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's obviously this past couple weeks have been crazy. Yeah. So it's, you know, it's, yeah, it's like that's why I got asked. But that's why I did want to make sure that it was, you know, like we and I had Bates and Vecchione and Vitor. Like, I was like, hey, let's just try to come up some jokes.

You know, I was like, at least put effort into it. Yeah. When I give these. You did have good jokes for every trick. Yeah, I thought so, too. Yeah. We got. Who wrote the Rudy?

Who wrote the Rudy joke? I said, I made that up on the spot. On the fly? Yeah. Did you really? Yeah. No, maybe I made it up. Trying to compliment your writing. Like, no, I riffed that.

No, no, no. It was in the van on the way there. I came up with that. The one I came out on the spot was Oklahoma's the new Vanderbilt. That's the one that got a little traction. A little heat on that one. Yeah, yeah. That's the one that I came up in the moment.

It was just, I mean, look, you're going, who's this clown? I'll call you the next bandit. Well, then they lost later that day. They did. I got that pick right. That's right. Yeah, I mean, it's like that mindset of that person. You want to go i get it you want

to go like what do you think is would you honestly think i'm just there and you know it's like it's it's really like in the line below her it's great he was joking he's a vandy fan uh well rosa loper they're getting it coming in he knows that's not true and he is an awesome He was joking. He's a Vandy fan. Well, Rosa Loper there. Yeah. Getting it, coming in. He knows that's not true, and he is an awesome comedian. Like, it's like, yeah, it's... It's debatable.

It's debatable if it's true or not. I mean, not yet to be seen. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, that, I mean, yeah. A lot would have to change. We'll see. We'll see, baby. We'll see.

I hope it does. There's a great chance though that Vandy does get to be Bo Klum and then I get to hear all that but with the transfer portal

who knows Vanderbilt could pick up a lot of people yeah Deion Sanders could come and coach

I just thought I said it because it was it was like oh this will be funny I'm in Alabama

LSU, SEC. So it's the new school coming to. In Texas, I picked Texas for Buc-ee's because I said they gave us Buc-ee's. So I couldn't. There was really no reason why I wasn't picking Oklahoma. I didn't really have a great joke. I had like something, but then I was like, oh, you know what? And I just like, I'll just say this.

And then I figured like, you know, I'm doing, you got Alabama LSU there. Yeah. It's, but yeah, it was all, I had a joke for, we had a joke for every. Am I remembering correctly? Did you get a not so fast, my friend from, from. Right out of the gate. Right out of the gate. That's iconic. That's iconic. It is. Not so fast, my friend, from Lee Corso? Right out of the gate. That's iconic. That's iconic.

It is iconic. Not so fast, my friend. Oh, that's so cool. I was very happy to get that. That was the Vandy Auburn pick. Uh-huh. Yeah. I go Vandy.

Because they wouldn't have picked Vandy Auburn game, but I was there. Yeah. And then I said Vandy, and so I got not so fast, my friend. And then, yeah, it was very nice. Yeah, that was very cool. Yeah, I was, that was very cool. Yeah. He seems completely

unhinged, Lee Corso. He seems insane. Well, he's been doing it a long time. Long time. I mean,

I like it, but he seems, he seems insane. Well, he's just old, but. He's older. Yeah.

He's great. Yeah. Yeah. You went in for the handshake. He wasn't quite clear on what to do there. Oh, yeah. I did try to get a handshake, and he didn't give it. He's like, I don't know who you are.

Well, yeah. I don't think he is feeling there's a lot of stuff. I mean, he's just kind of, you know. Another funny joke you had was when it was Air Force versus Army, and they said i pick america and it changed your it changed it to an american flag on the screen that was cool yeah i asked them to uh do that the night before i was like can you have my can you have my thing be america and so then they had all of them be it was amer America versus Air Force. Yeah, that's how it came out.

And then I took America. And some guy tried to tell, like there was like, someone told me that there's a guy that like keeps track of the picks. So saying like I was like seven and four because I picked Air Force, but I picked America, so I didn't really pick anybody that picked. But I thought it was very funny that it was, I mean, I didn't know they were going to do what they did until it was there and then kirk herbert had to be like well man i can't not pick i guess i gotta pick america too yeah yeah and so it was like that was like dumb and fun because i mean they you know it's like it's one of those trying not to

take serious where you want to go like well i got I got some real opinions about, you're like, well, who am I, dude? Would you want to hear my opinions on Clemson, Notre Dame? You want to hear my, like, who cares what I think of it? I don't get to watch stuff like I used to. Like, so I want to go and just have a joke. I'm going to pick Vandy to win everything. And then I'm going to have a joke for every other one. I think you did a good job.

Find the balance between like, not taking it too seriously, but also like respecting what it is and not like you're above it. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. That's what you want to do.

I always think it would be fun to have some form of public shaming for all the people that pick. And they're like, they try, you know, they're like so serious and they're like, I know who's going to win these games. So when they're wrong, have like next week, they have to come out and be accountable for what they picked.

That's what I think. Take a different turn. Yeah, that's what I like. How about putting them in that thing where your head and your hands fall out of it? Yeah, because they come so hard with it. They're like, they got all these information, all these facts, and they're like, this is how I know this is going to happen. And then when it doesn't, I think there should be some accountability. Well, game day's not too bad like that. They go pretty fast, rapid fire. Yeah, maybe not game day, but some of the others. You're saying you think Nate should be held

accountable for picking Vanderbilt over Auburn. Yeah. But like a Colin Cowherd, he does it a little bit himself, where Colin was right, where Colin was wrong. But I think it'd be fun. I wouldn't even know if you would know who Colin Cowherd is. Yeah. He always surprises all of us when you drop any kind of sports knowledge whatsoever. Yeah, I mean, you've had a run right here that I thought. The fact that you knew Notre Dame played Clipson, I was surprised at. Yeah, I mean, you've had a run right here that I thought. The fact that you knew

Notre Dame played Clipson, I was surprised at. Yeah. Someone pointed out that you mentioned, you made a joke about Coast Guard. Yeah. They have a team.

Oh, yeah. They play like Division III. Oh, that's awesome. I had no idea. Yeah, you know what? I might have seen that and they're like good, right? I think so.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. The Coast Guard joke was, yeah, we thought that was, we thought that was the night before. The other one, the Dabo thing, I didn't know Dabo had that Tyler and Spartanburgs. Like, we found that out when I was there. Like, I'm blanking on everything.

But he was like, you know, he was like, you have any questions about, because we were just trying to make jokes about it. And then he told us, because none of us knew that, that they played that all week. They've already talked about it. He yelled at us. So that's why I was like, I love the way Dabo talks to children. Yeah.

I got a big laugh from everybody too. Yeah, reference. Joey Freshwater. Yeah, I got a big laugh. Yeah. Yeah. He was trying to give some, like, it's only, it's very inside. Yes. You're letting people know I'm actually a college football fan. Yeah, yeah. I know what's going on. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It was trying to give some, like, it's only, it's very inside. Yes.

Like, they're. You're letting people know I'm actually a college football fan. Yeah, yeah. I know what's going on. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was. Yeah, but it was awesome. I mean, it was, yeah, super cool.

Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah, it's insane. Yeah, it's been a crazy. And then you guys immediately get on a plane and head right back to Chicago. Yeah, get on. Yeah, you do the picks. Laura came down.

They get tickets. Laura got tickets to the game. So I came down, got to see her for a second. Then I escort back to the plane. I take off, land like two. Probably got about something like that. Got to the hotel like 2.30. Took a shower, did a show at four. And then a show at that. Got to the hotel like 2.30, took a shower,

did a show at four and then a show at seven and then two the next day. It's a pretty crazy day. It was a crazy weekend. Yeah, it was,

it went to Jake Melnick's that night, the place I used to work at. Yeah, it was a crazy, it was a crazy day. Someone said that you're

maybe Times Magazine's looking at you for man of the year. Yeah. Have you heard that? No. Person of the year, excuse me. Yeah. My Delta is the problem, not me.

That's from Aaron Davis, I believe is his name. Yeah. I mean, let's keep it going. Let's keep it going. Let's keep your star rising here. Yeah, where do you go from here? We'll all milk it off to the side. I'm presenting an award at CMAs. Tonight?

Yeah, tonight. Wow. Do you know which one you're presenting? I do. Am I allowed to say? I don't know. It's happening tonight. Yeah.

Yeah, Male Vocalist of the Year. That's a big one. It's a huge one. It's big time yeah it's one of the last ones they give out i think yeah and these names will be easier to pronounce than the grammys i think yeah it's like yeah the nominees are like morgan wallen and yeah jelly roll and uh i figured i hope jelly roll wins that's our friend we all know jelly roll Roll. Yeah. I hope he wins. He's a great guy. Yeah. From here, that'd be fun.

What if Morgan Wallen won and then he came out and he's still mad at you about breaking his record? And he shoves you. Yeah. Yeah. Go to commercial. Go to commercial. Yeah. I think I'm making a joke about that record.

Like that was kind of the thing. Okay. Yeah. It's like the, yeah, I'll make it. Yeah. The joke is referencing the,

I've talked about it before on, you know, in other interviews, but it works, I think really good with this thing. uh, yeah, I'm doing a joke about that.

So we'll see. I mean, I see, I've never met him. So, and maybe I won't this time. Jelly roll again. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.. Jelly Roll again. Yeah.

Yeah. Jelly Roll is great. Yeah. I mean, he performed at Zany's a bunch. Yeah. I hope he wins it. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

He sang for my mom one time outside of Zany's. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Wow. You should tell that story. Well, my mom just went to see me do comedy at a show, and it was Josh Wolfe's show that he used to do, and it was a real dirty show. So even people that had opened for me in the past that my mom had seen, they were on the show.

Chance Willie is mainly who I'm talking about. He did clean opening for my show, but now it's super dirty on this show. And so my mom was ready to leave, not because of Chance, just in general. Just in general. And so we were leaving and Jelly Roll was outside and he goes, you going to leave before I sing? He goes, I sing real good. And she goes, well, sing a couple of bars. And so he sings and she goes, that's pretty good. And then we left.

Does she know who he was? I don't think so. She does now. Yeah. But this was, you know, this is a few years back. Yeah. It's just funny to literally be sung to and you're like that that's pretty good yeah by jelly roll i mean who is a massive star now yeah i mean at the time he was doing some big things but he's

a massive star now yeah and he sang to my mom outside of zany's and you know uh i'm not impressed she was not impressed you know i think she liked it, but she's like, yeah, I'm ready to go though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's fun.

Jelly Roll has always been nice to me. Yeah. Yeah. He's a, he's a really, really sweet person. Uh, that it is.

Y'all want to. Yeah. No, I was, uh, Oh, I wanted to say something. Oh,

okay. Uh, it seems more serious now, but this is something I feel like I, is it decathlon where you do four events? Decathlon is where you do ten. What is it when you do four? Is there a four? What is it, a quadathon?

Yeah. See, I was thinking triathlon because I did three things, right, of comedy this weekend, but I actually did four. But I think it's fun. I went to Chicago. I did a theater show. Then after the theater show, I did a, I judged a roast battle. And then on Friday, I did a corporate event. And on Saturday I did a comedy club. So I did like, I did like all the things

in comedy and one weekend. And I went to Oklahoma city. city it was great i performed a corporate gig for the oklahoma department of transportation some previous speakers uh were yeah some previous speakers were uh president george w bush uh peyton manning so i said i guess it's not going well now huh yeah i mean you really dropped off here yeah Yeah. But it was a hot show. Yeah. Wow. They were pumped I was there. Yeah. It was fun.

It was a hot show. A lot of Nate Land listeners out there. Oh, yeah. I did Brick Town in Oklahoma City. They loved it. Yeah.

A lot of Nate Land people all over the place out there. Good people. Yeah. We got this from a fan. Let me hold this up. Hello, folks in Hay Bear. We've from a fan. Let me hold this up. Hello, folks in Hay Bear. We've got a painting.

All right. What is it? The colorblind painter? I guess so. Yeah. I see Aaron, Nate, and me. Who's that other guy? It's been pointed out by more than one person.

Maybe that's not the best of me, but you guys look great. Yeah. I love it. Yeah. I think it looks great. You might not think it's good, Brian, but there's zero confusion of who that is in that painting. Don't say that.

I mean, that's unbelievable. That's an original, no tracing? No, no. He did a great job with me, I'll say that. Yeah, you look great. Yeah. Yeah, Dusty, you look. I look.

You look great. I feel like mine's updated. An updated look. Look at that hair blowing in the breeze I got, though. Yeah, Dusty looked like the cover of a novel. Yeah, I'm a big fan of this poster. Yeah, so am I. So thank you. I am too. I, let's try to put Brian in there next time.

Yeah. My birthday was Friday. Oh, happy birthday. All right. Thank you. What's up, dude? I called him. Oh, you did?

Sorry. What were you going to say? Something else about that? Yeah. I'm coming around to you on this painting, though. It's spot on? Yeah. The more I look at it, if you look at it for a while, you go, maybe Brian's the best one.

It did capture the smile. It does capture the smile. All right. That's fair. The essence. Abby called me Friday afternoon to say, we want to post a picture of you and Nate on the social media, but we can't find a good one. We found one, and I saw the picture and she sent me. I thought, I look pretty good in this.

And she said, but you look bad. So do you have any of your own? So I had to dig through my old social media to find one of us. But it's so funny, the photo that I thought looked perfectly good, she was like, you look rough in this. Are you sure you want to post that? I thought it was great. No, you thought.

Is that the one you posted? No, it was another one she sent me that I thought you found. I wish we could see that picture. Do we have that? Now you don't want anybody to see it. I don't want anybody to see it because I don't want to agree with her. Is it by the colorblind photographer? Sorry.

So anyway. I regret that one. No, it's quite all right. It's already out there. Yeah. So, yeah, my birthday was Friday. Did the Opry. Oh, on your birthday.

Not on my birthday, but the night before. It sounds like it's sad. Oh, wow. On your birthday. No. Okay. I'm sorry. Where did you go eat on your birthday?

Jim and Nick's. Oh, yeah. Yeah. This is good. Yeah. Nothing special, but it's nice. It's pretty pricey at Jim and Nick's. Oh, yeah. This is good. Yeah. Nothing special, but it's nice. Oh, it's special. It's pretty pricey at Jim and Nick's, so that's almost a fancy dinner there.

I was like, let's do the Aaron Weber meal sometimes. Let's live it up. Yeah. What's the Aaron Weber meal? Well, we got a trend going on today about Aaron having money. Oh, okay. Yeah. I know that.

I mean, you gave blood in college, right? I did. Plasma. Plasma. Yeah. Did he gave blood in college, right? I did. Plasma. Plasma. Yeah. Did he go buy $50 worth of... No, $50. Yeah.

You showed up and you're like, I gave plasma for this. It'd probably be $60, $70. Yeah, with tax and everything? Yeah. You're all weak because you gave plasma for it and nobody eats it. You're still bleeding out a little bit. Oh, hey, thanks, man. Somebody get in on this.

Everybody's like, oh, I just, well, I just worked out. I don't want to waste it. What's that? Oh, guess who brought, someone goes, they don't even go, they go, oh, I see Aaron brought McDonald's. And everybody doesn't even know they go well we didn't say who brought it he goes well I just

By myself, ate. Are you serious? Yeah. Wow. I think I did more than I did. That's wild. Mixed with chocolate and, yeah, it's not good. It's honestly not good.

Even as a drinker, I never ate Krispy Kremes at one time. Oh, I just woke up. I mean, I'm in a dark spot right now with food. Wow. I was down 160. I'm back to like 184. I'm back up to 24 pounds. I got to go back down.

You'll be ordering Uber XL before you know it. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm on the way. Yeah. You need better help. I need better help. I do. I need to go talk to someone about, I'm on the way. Yeah. You need better help. I need better help.

I do. I need to go talk to someone about it because it's the stress. It's something that I can't – I wake up and it's like you want to do something that's not – I don't know. It's not like I even want this food. That's the hard part. It's not like I want it. I don't want it. But you just can't stop yourself. Do you feel like your life is moving a million miles an hour and this is

one of the few areas where you're in total control over what's happening? I think so. Yeah. And so BetterHelp is the perfect thing to do. Therapy can be a bright spot in all of the stress and change. Something to look forward to, to make you feel grounded and then give you some tools to manage everything is going on. It is entirely online text chat phone video convenient flexible that stuff is good it's like just commit to doing it uh talk this stuff out someone like that i wouldn't even talk to someone about about being like why am i eating all this bad food and i can't stop uh and then you just can't it's thought about, we were in Chicago and I saw McDonald's and I was like, oh, I used to always go to that McDonald's when I was in Chicago.

And I was thinking and wondering why I went to that. I was like, I bet I did just because it's like, I know what that is. I'm overwhelmed everything. Cause I was just starting comedy. I'm in Chicago. I'm like, there's so much going on. And, but I know what that McDonald's, I know what's in there.

And so I wonder if it's like, that's what makes you go there. Cause you're just like, well, I know that. Yes. I don't want to go to a restaurant cause I'm nervous. You know,

I'm nervous with just living in Chicago. So it's like you go to some fancy restaurant and you're like, why don't, I can't even say these words on the menu and I'm feeling embarrassed and I don't like it, but I know that I can, I just go there and I'll eat there. Cause I can just,

I think it's the same reason people will rewatch the office 15 times instead of trying a new show because there is comfort and you know exactly what's going to happen. You're familiar there, you know? Yeah. Yeah. All corporations feel like that. Even if you go to a different city but you walk into a Target,

you're like, all right, this is... I'm home. Yeah, I know what I'm... This feels normal. That was the scary part of trying to find the light bulb. I don't even know what kind of store to look for. Yeah. She went to McDonald's. Did you eat McDonald's down there?

I got McDonald's at the airport in Argentina. That's fun. It's pretty good. It's good. They sell just tubs of cheese. Yeah. Melted? Yeah.

I didn't get one. Yeah, but like nacho cheese. They just sell tubs of it. With chips? You can do whatever you want with it. Yeah. They don't give you really instructions. I had a bad last night, too, when I got home.

I had Wendy's. It was good though right it was amazing it was crazy i got a frosty dip their fries frosty man that is good it's just something could be the move that's a good move man it's a good move uh comments vicky butler as excited as I was to watch SNL I was just excited for this episode I couldn't wait for all the blow by blow

kids out here that late and blah blah whatever even though the kid and the kids are loving it it's exciting obviously they can hang out for one night yeah but it's but it was interesting to like lauren kind of said that he's like you can't you don't just the hoda girl killed it in that sketch that girl is a boy oh so he put a great wig on oh i couldn't tell at all oh yeah it's crazy amazing yeah uh the mario kid his mom was sitting in front of us during rehearsals, and she said that's his fourth or fifth time to be on SNL, and he just co-starred in a movie. Oh, wow. How old is the kid?

I don't know. He looks like he's 10, 12. I don't know. He's probably going to be a big star. So he'll be a wreck in his 20s. That poor kid. I don't think so. I think, you know, maybe.

Macaulay Culkin in her hands here. I would just say he's got a great family. Yeah, his mom seemed very nice and down to earth. And someday you'll be opening for this kid. Yeah, yeah. If you've got a good family. Yeah, well, that's true. You do need a good family.

There has to be kid actors that have really panned out. Oh, yeah. Drew Barrymore. Jason Bateman. Wasn't he a kid? Oh, yeah, yeah. He's been here. Yeah, it's like a solid career.

I think he was stuff very early. Drew Barrymore, I don't know. Leonardo DiCaprio. Yeah, Leonardo DiCaprio. I mean, they, yeah, whether or not. Gary Duff. Yeah. Corey Feldman.

I mean, come on, dude. Okay. Yeah. Drew Barrymore hosted SNL when she was seven. Did she really? Yeah. Hosted it? Yeah. Yeah. Drew Barrymore hosted SNL when she was seven. Did she really? Yeah. Hosted it? Yeah.

Wow. It was right after E.T. came out. Yeah. That's crazy. Richie Rice. Last week, you mentioned that the Lake Song skit was shot around eight in the morning. Were there other skits that were shot early and is a live audience watch on a screen Saturday night? If so, is that extra time used strategically to switch to more elaborate costume and sets?

Yeah, Lake Beach is on Spotify. Isn't that crazy? You have a song on Spotify with Dave Grohl. Yeah, yeah. Me, yeah. Featuring Dave and Dave Grohl. Wow. Yeah, so you can go download it.

Listen to it. It's on everything. We shot that one in the morning, and then that. No one's watching those. There's no audience for those because you're in a completely different. They have a studio that's like uptown. It's just completely different than the other one. And, yes, they will put, put i think after when did they air

this one after the chef or they aired the halloween one after the chef show or something because we had to go into the george washington one and that was going to be a little more of a costume so they they do strategically put these in to be like this will give the cast more time to everybody change into their outfits and be out there and not be. Because if we would have went straight chef to, I mean, I don't know if you could have done that because it's just so, yeah. So they use those for that. Yeah.

And if you're in the audience, you are watching it just like people at home are. Yeah. On the screen. Well, you can see, can't you see? Can you see some of them or no? You can see all of them. All the sketches. I know, but can you see them from your seat like live? Or do you end up just watching on TV?

Well, we had great seats right in the middle. But if you're at one end, you can't see all the way down to the other end, vice versa. But I'm talking about the pre-produced sketches like Late Beach. They put them on all the monitors for people to watch. So we're seeing it as you are at home. As you are at home, yes. But when I did the Fran Drescher sketch, because that was over in the corner, you couldn't see any of that.

So you're just watching on TV. Which ones were you able to see? Chef Show, probably pretty easy. Chef, I could see. Airplane, I could see half of. Yeah. Which ones were you able to, Chef show probably pretty easy. Chef, I could see, airplane, I could see half of. Yeah.

I don't know if I could see you in airplane, but I, I could see people in the front of the airplane. I was trying to think which ones actually made air. George Washington's dead center. That's right center. Yeah. George Washington,

we did it where the stage, where I do stand up at. That's bright center. Yeah. George Washington, we did it where the stage where I do stand up at. That's where that's at. Okay. So that's all. The Biden two at the beginning one, that's all there. So I'm standing right before I walk out of the, and they do the introducing the whole cast. That Biden thing is all on the stage that I'm about to stand on and do the monologue. They got it off quick.

So once they finish and they go live from New York Saturday night, once they do that, I'm already behind that door waiting. And then they're playing the intro of who's on the show. They clear that off that fast. There's a time-lapse video of this out there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. SNL post that shows them clearing it while you're standing backstage. Oh, of my taping?

Mm-hmm. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. Oh. Let me post that. The George Washington video is so good. I just watched it again the other day. I think that's going to be one of those that's like a classic video that people watch for a long time.

It's being talked about in that way. The best of SNLs. It's so good. Yeah. Yeah. It's a really be one of those that's like a round like a classic video that people talked about in that way the best of snl it's so good yeah yeah it's a really great one yeah yeah yeah it was i mean yeah it's it's all yeah i mean obviously there's no like um you know any kind of current thing on it that will make it be dated that's a good point right it's just evergreen yeah yeah yeah uh kai wackley i think that's right i think you nailed it k-a-i kai wackley i would think wakely wakely wake you sound so much better yeah it's like that you would be different i'm the wakely i don't know i mean i'm just i would lean towards wakely and not whackly yeah because it's w-a-k-l-e-y i don't call him k-dub yeah if there's a c there it'd be more of the whack yeah kai whack whackly but yeah the wakely is yeah much better it'd be almost like if you met him you'd be like kai whackly you'd read the name you're like i don't want to meet that guy and they go it's wakely you're like i'll bring him over yeah yeah during the chef

competition sketch was keenan pushing the plate of food onto the floor improvised seemed like he did it to juice the scene a little bit and got a great surprise reaction from the audience and the other actors great moment regardless that guy is such a pro yeah i mean keen is unreal uh we knew we were gonna they were gonna push it off uh you didn't know how he was gonna i mean he even rehearsals he would do it he never actually pushed it off in any of the rehearsals so he pushed it off at the uh in that moment but yeah keenan is it's it's i mean he's unreal really and anybody doing improv scenes like uh faking turning over the table like an imaginary table yeah it's a classic improv yeah i mean to show your your uh anger or your excitement classic turn over the table i mean even just hanging out with improv people you you do that move to show how fired up you are.

I would give good money to watch videos of you doing improv back in the day. Do you know that's how we started? I got some, depending on how much money. I mean, I have some. Do you really? Yeah. Yeah. Doing improv?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's hard to watch improv on video. Yeah. Unless you're, you know, Drew Carey. Whose line is it anyway? Well, I think we'd be watching for different reasons.

Yeah, for sure. How long did you do improv? Well, I mean. 12 years. Well, yeah, I started. I mean, I started doing some improv in like 2004, but I really got into it in 2008. And then I did it for, you know, six years. Improv?

While I was doing standup. Yeah. Doesn't that blow your mind? It blew my mind. That's crazy. I found out. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, I was doing it right along with standup for a long time. Were you a character guy? Did you have different voices? Oh, no characters. I was always the same. My teachers were all the time like, hey, try some characters. But I'm pretty much me in every scene.

Where, in Charleston? Yeah. Yeah. I'm me in every scene. Yeah. You probably have a lot to be friends with then. You're like, anybody that meets you, you're like, you want to come to my stand-up show? Got an improv show Wednesday?

You're like, oh. I mean, I was. You're inviting everybody. You know, you're. I mean, I was big time pushing my shows. I mean, I would do an improv show. And then the moment that show was over, I would have my flyers and I would run off stage, stand by the door, hand everybody leaving the show a flyer to my standup show. Smart.

Yeah. I mean, I was on it with the promotion. Do you think you loved improv more than standup? Like, or is it you're just better at standup? No, standup I like the best. Improv was just, you know, it was fun. Yeah. But stand-up is where it's at.

Yeah, you do. You are, you know, you're tough to pin down. Yeah, I mean, I'm out here. You're a multi-layered onion. Yeah, there's a lot. Let's start an improv troupe. Call ourselves the Nateland Squad.

We did an episode on while you were gone on sports movies. And I asked if you had to go undercover and do any professional sport, like you're investigating something, which sport do you think you could best fake your way through? Yeah, did I get asked this? We may have talked about this a long time ago, but... Basketball. Basketball. Yeah. Like NBA? Oh, like if I had to... Professionally is what the question was.

You had to blend in and people think you're... And the team knows you're in on it. Yeah. Basketball. And Brian said soccer. And then somehow that was less ridiculous than me saying a swimmer. Well, I'll tell you why. The podcast erupted and Brian called me 5'3". I could maybe do swimmer.

Yeah, so that's what I'm saying. Well, I could swim fast. I could swim fast too. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. My understanding was the question was not about your actual performance, but how you could blend in. Nobody would look at the two of you.

No offense. You're both doing very well in life. No one will look at the two of you and think that's a swimmer. Until they saw us swim. Right now, my food problem, no. But, I mean, once I get this settled and then, you know. I'm sure. Look, you don't.

There's got to be smaller swimmers. and then you know I'm sure look you don't there's gotta be smaller swimmers I think they'd be they'd probably think he's you know swimmer that's the hair would hold me

back a bit but he's the they'd have to clean the pool a lot of the female swimming problems they think Dusty Dusty would do better

going to a female swimming team well for sure and then be like and everybody would be like oh yeah yeah and Dusty is a name that can a female swimming team. Yeah, well, for sure. And then be like, and everybody would be like, oh, yeah, yeah. And Dusty is a name that can really go either way. That's true.

That's true. I think for mine, mine would be basketball. I think soccer for you. Huh? I think soccer for you. Why for him? Because I look like a soccer. That's what I'm saying.

Yeah, so you're not saying like athletically. No. I would think golf would be the easy one. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, you're a great golfer. I think it's got to be – You shot that down quick, right?

It's got to be a team sport, I think, where you can just not even touch the ball. You're saying I got to play in the game? Yeah, you got to play. Oh. Brian said soccer. I think I could get out there and just hide in the middle. Like Messi? Yeah, Messi doesn't run.

I know, but the problem is he does good when the ball cuts. Can you imagine being like, all right, I'm going to be like Messi, but that ball cannot come to me. That's exactly right. Yeah. I mean, my argument is, all right, I'm out there. The game ends 1-0 instead of 0-0. How big a difference is it going to be? Soccer, nobody scores anyway.

Yeah, but if you – I guess it's like what could you – You couldn't make your high school basketball team. Now you're playing the NBA? Well, I was thinking athletically I can dribble to my legs. I picture like warm-up, I could do some layups where you would just, you would not notice me. Okay. You just wouldn't notice me. But I guess if I'm on a pro team and everybody's super tall.

Yeah. Then you might. Who's the 5'11 white guy? You'd be such a physical difference. Yeah. And you see me, I have a, you make me wear a jersey. The jersey's not going to be flattering for me. Oh God.

You have the t-shirt on. Yeah, I have the t-shirt on. I have a hoodie on underneath it. flattering for me oh god and they have the t-shirt on just a layers that guy's got it he's got a lot going on you're like yeah yeah i would play you know when you see like you know i see kobe like or rub his chest like on the inside i would just be doing that all the time like covering my chest up and just with a jersey on uh i could see yeah i could be sock if your size and everything i could see soccer because i would just probably blend in and you're the field's far enough away than whatever uh i didn't you you're gonna be tough though man like it's it's uh i i mean you got to be able to run you get like i'll stand in the middle have you seen me run it's they're gonna i've never seen

brian run either me either i think you would be usually they make you be like just be a ref at one of these things like you would just be if you're you look like a ref, a ref would be no brainer. Like a ref, you could blend in. People probably think you're just an off ref when you go to the games. Like they just go. That was my day off. That was your, yeah. And he's still here.

He loves the game. He loves it. He goes, well, my buddy's ref. And he goes, I'm going to go. I'd like to see you be the talking ref, you know, whatever they call those guys. The one that does the football, the one that. Yeah, I think it's called the umpire in football, right? I don't know.

I don't know. He's ever like the main. You have the white hats, the umpire and the rest are. What did we say your sport was? I said a long snapper in the NFL. Okay. Long snapper. I could be a holder.

Hold the kick. I mean, maybe. I would let go before he got there. I think just you in the pad. Okay. I could be a holder. Hold the kick. I mean, maybe. I would let go before he got there. I think just you and the pads would be... I don't think you'd catch the ball. You'd let go. I think it'd be... I think that, I mean, they'd throw that ball back there

pretty quick. Well, if Aaron's snappy to me, maybe we could be a team. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, somebody last week said if Aaron's snapping to me, maybe we could be a team. Yeah. Yeah. Hmm. Hmm. I mean, somebody last week said,

uh, I could be the middle guy in the bobsled. Yeah. Just got to get in there. Get in there and lay down. You'd be, why is the middle guy already in there? They're pushing me.

Why is there one guy already in the bobsled? They go, no, don't worry about it. It's not we're doing it. We're doing it different this year. Yeah, you could be the bobsled. Yeah, professional team. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah yeah swimming doesn't seem so ridiculous to me yeah i think athletically i can i have enough coordination to but if you're looking at size and all that stuff you don't people notice if i was on a court with the basketball hey yeah

pickleball i mean i dominated I dominate you guys. Yeah. We're surprisingly good. Yeah. You can do cornhole. That's official now. Now we're talking. Now you can do that. Because you wore this stuff. But I'm sorry we called you 5'3 so many times. You guys really made it seem like I was so short here.

Let's skip that. It's coming up. Mike Brown. There was a debbie downer skit with ben affleck back in the day where it killed a dress rehearsal but bombed in the actual show when they re-ran the episode later when oh bombed an actual show then when they re-ran the episode later in the season they used the dress version in the show instead. Were there any sketches that went better at dress for Nate? No.

I think they went good on all of it. I could tell Noah's Ark didn't get that many laughs, and that got cut. But, I mean, it was like everything that got cut was like, yep. Yeah, they made the right choices. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so we didn't have anything that... George Washington got the biggest laugh at dress rehearsal. Mm-hmm. yep. Yeah, they made the right choices. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so we didn't have anything that. George Washington got the biggest laugh

at dress rehearsal. Yeah. Yeah. And then it did too. In the show. In the show. But it was, yeah,

it was, you could tell Chef was very good. I mean, they moved it all up. Airplane did good. You know. It's like watching a movie.

Fred Drescher is the one that I was a little surprised and not because she's very good at friend dresser but it was like it was you know is it too inside is he talking about the strike is it like are people going to get it so friend dresser was one that and i think a lot of people were like surprised that that was made it but it was you know sarah who does fran dresser is really great at it and you know that hoda kid and it was like just very funny it

was just you know what are you saying dusty i'm just saying it's like with that kind of stuff it's like when you get a you know back in the day where you get a dvd that had deleted scenes and you go watch them and you're like, yeah, that needed to be deleted. Yeah. They made the right call. Very rarely would you see one that you're like, oh, I wish that would have been in here. Yeah.

Yeah. Jason Murray. It was funny how long Nate and Brian took to try and get Dusty to recognize the Give Me Some Lovin' song. You know that song? No. Give me some lovin'. Give me, give me some lovin'.

Give me some lovin'. Give me, give me some lovin'. You don't know that song no give me some love and give me give me give me some love and give me some love give me give me some love you don't know that you've never heard this in my life give me some love give me give me some love and give me some i didn't know it either who is this you've never heard i think steve winwood at work steve winwood's the lead singer i knew i know a lot of music and i'd never heard that you've never heard the song? I don't even think when you- Well, finish the comment and maybe that'll help us. All right, hold on. Give me some love song.

I bet if you told him it was in the Days of Thunder movie scene where Cole was first starting to drive, he would have gotten it right away. Because I know he's seen that movie more than once. Yeah, you know, I just watched the movie recently. But I still don't. The song's still not coming out. What happened? Could they air it? Or we had to cut it out?

We aired a little of it, right? Yeah. Yeah. I'll type it in. Type it in and then, yeah. You want the Spencer Davis group? Yeah. Do the other version.

Or Steve Winwood? No. It was crazy. Oh, okay. Okay. Yes. Yeah, okay. I didn't know that was the name of the song.

Give me some love. 133 million views. Wow. You still haven't heard it. I guess I've heard it. I should listen to it on the way home, just hear the whole song. But, you know, Days of Thund- Can't you see Cole driving his car and he's wrecking and struggling?

Can you look up that Cole thing, see if it shows it on there? Yeah. I mean, that movie was really good, but it was missing something. It was long. Days of Thunder. It was just like, I think they did write a lot of it on the fly.

Really? Yeah. Like it was not well-written. Who? Where'd you learn that? Well, my wife, IMDB is everything.

Oh, and that's what they said? Yeah, because you're watching it and you're like, well, all right. They're just trying to make a lot of things real epic where it doesn't really...

Robert Duvall is so great, but when he's building the car... Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Bristol's a great track. I'm so glad Aaron's back to... Oh yeah yeah You know I can hear it now

Yeah yeah You just need a little visual context You can hear it You needed the hum of a NASCAR engine In the background I still hear for some reason Come on and take a free ride Similar

Yeah I still hear that Just a different song and take a free ride. Free ride. Similar. Yeah, similar. I still hear that. Groove to it. Yeah, just a different song. All right. Everybody knows it. I hope everybody's heard. We got to the bottom of that. It is fun to see you and Brian

just give me some love and just singing over and over uh that took me by surprise just now that's what we did last week too you know what I forgot to say I watched Shawshank Redemption are you serious no I just want to know I still haven't so I just thought in the moment we were talking about songs I just it popped in my head I go I should just throw that I still have never seen it so and you got the DVD I got it I saw it down there

it's still in the case it's still in the case still wrapped up I'll watch it it's one of those when you do watch it you're gonna be like I really wish I would've watched it

let's watch it together we're we're yeah we're we're doing it sometime as a no yeah I bet everybody

for a moment really was like let's get some popcorn our next Krispy Kreme challenge that's right I did it yeah I had a good one I beat my old record today

crazy to do when you do a Krispy Kreme challenge just alone in a car feels different to just look up and realize you've set a personal record it's nuts

oh you ate eight in the car no I ate one you have one yeah the car? No. I ate one. You have one. Of course. Yeah. What am I doing? And then you have one, and then by the time you get home and you really get into them, that one didn't even matter.

Anything you eat in the car doesn't register. Yeah. Why do you think they come in dozens? I think it's so you can have two on the way home. And then they go ten. I think ten is the logical number. It should come in groups of tens. A baker's doesn't make sense that you can have one on the way home.

Oh, that's what that is. Yeah, yeah. But why is it just by default does it come in dozens? It doesn't make any sense. You get a double baker's dozen, and they go, this guy wants two. He wants a couple on the way home. I'll take his four. Give me 26.

Can I have a couple? Out of that baker's dozen, I'll take a. There's no reason. So two more bakers. There's no reason it should be 12, but it just is. Well, a dozen is, it's always been a dozen donuts. But why? Because half is six and I don't, you know.

Half of 10 is five. I know, but why should it is six and i don't you know half of ten is five i know but why should it be five and ten then because ten i mean the world works in groups of tens you know what else is intense just everything the metric system it's a deck of donuts what do the george washington sketch at you but it makes sense what are what are peeps in the easter fours right thes of four. So why would that be? Why doesn't it come in a dozen? Four is divisible by 12, right?

You could do three fours and you had a dozen. Three fours, yeah. So why would they fit in the box? Great. I'm giving you that, but it could be. I don't know why it's 12. I'm not mad about the extra two, but it should be 10. That's all I'm saying.

Yeah. You understand what I'm saying? Maybe they like the sound, dozen donuts. I think it's dozen. Yeah, 12. I'll take a dozen donuts. If you said there's no word for 10,

there is more. They'd come up with one. A dozen Dunkin' Donuts. 12 is more divisible though. With friends, if there's groups of two, three, four, you can easily,

everybody split it evenly. Yeah. With 10, as soon as you get to three people. You're saying basically when you go and you eat a box by yourself, you appreciate it. You go, I only eat 10 of them.

I don't know why I'm having to pay for these other two. That's what it is. I'll take 10 donuts. Sorry, you might as well do it, Dustin. Why? All right. I'm only going to eat 10 though. So you might as well do it, Dustin.

Why? All right. I'm only going to eat 10, though. You can skip to Christine. Well, we can just keep going. I think today is more of a kind of catching up. That's fine. We kind of just covered that one. Go ahead.

We just did. I almost ran out of the road because I was laughing so hard when Brian was trying to describe the song and Dusty said that the more he described it the less he recognized it. Dusty almost literally killed that day. That was from Bonnie Abrams. Bonnie Abrams.

Oh, is that the Give Me Some Lovin'? Bonnie Abrams. Yeah. Bonnie Abrams. I could have you guys sing that song every podcast. Telling Bonnie Abrams,

that's a, she probably had some run-ins with the law. Bonnie and Clyde? Is that what you're thinking? I don't know. It's just Bonnie Abrams. Yeah, I feel like... Or maybe married to JJ.

Yeah. Oh, Bonnie. Possible. I feel like the cops would be like, where are we going? Bonnie's house again? The Abrams? Bonnie does seem like a wild name. Yeah, it is wild.

Yeah. You got a little, you know. What did they do together? Rob banks? They loved each other. That's for sure. That's more important to me. Yeah, they robbed the banks.

Okay. And then they had a big shootout at one. I think they killed a lot of people, I think. Oh, really? I thought they did. Maybe. I don't think so. Yeah, they could have. I thought it was like I think they killed a lot of people, I think. Oh, really? I thought they did. I don't think so. They could have. I thought it was like a rom-com.

No, no, they did. They had a big shootout. Was that not like Wesley? No. Yeah, it was Wesley Snipes. No, no, no. He played Bonnie. From White Man Can't Jump, not Wesley Snipes.

Woody Harrelson. Woody Harrelson, yeah. Was it not Woody? The white man from White Man Can't Jump? not Wesley Starks. Woody Harrelson. Woody Harrelson, yeah. Was it not Woody Harrelson? The white man from White Man Can't Jump. Is it not Woody Harrelson in the movie? Who played Bonnie and Clyde in the movie? I don't know. I don't know.

Oh, I was thinking. You're talking about Natural Born Killers. Yeah, okay. Give me some love and give me some love. That's not Bonnie and Clyde about Natural Born Killers. Yeah. Yeah, okay. That's totally different. Give me some love and give me some love. That's not Bonnie and Clyde, Natural Born Killers. Yeah. No. Yeah, what's Natural Born Killers?

That was an Oliver Stone movie just about serial killers. Oh, really? But it wasn't real people. Is it a good movie or is it- Very violent. Oh, wow. Over the top. Juliette Lewis.

Yeah. That was her. Robert Downey Jr., Tommy Lee Jones. It's a heck of a cast. Yeah. Tom Sizemore. Underrated wow. Over the top. Juliette Lewis. That was who I was trying to think of. Robert Downey Jr., Tommy Lee Jones. It's a heck of a cast. Yeah. Tom Sizemore. Underrated. Tom Sizemore.

Doesn't get talked about. Yeah, he's great. What's another thing? Saving Private Ryan. I remember this being was- You've never seen that? I don't think so. Saving Private Ryan?

I don't think I've seen it either. I've never seen it. Oh, my God. I don't like our movies. Y'all just tap out in the 90s? Oh, that's his era. No, I was there. No, that came out when I would have been in high school, I think.

And it reminded me of my senior year. And I remember being super popular. I don't think I saw it. And I think it was like I was scared. I heard it was like violent. Yeah, it was very violent. Over the top. Yeah, and I was like, I can't watch that. Yeah. It's very violent. Over the top. Yeah.

And I was like, I can't watch that. Yeah. I mean, it would probably feel like nothing now. It was named the eighth most controversial film in history by Entertainment Weekly in 2006. Natural Born Killers because we had been switched to Saving Private Ryan. Oh, we're talking about that now? Well, we were. You said Saving Private Ryan and then we kept talking about it.

Saving Private Ryan was very violent too. And out of absolutely nowhere. Right? I thought that's what we were. You said Saving Private Ryan, and then we kept talking about it. Saving Private Ryan is very violent, too. And out of absolutely nowhere. Right? I thought that's what we were talking about. Yeah, we were on to Saving Private Ryan. This is all about juggling a few different things here. I'm sorry. You're right.

And then after Saving Private Ryan, people hear, notorious for its violent content and inspiring copycat crimes. They're like, well, what was Saving Private Ryan about? Well, it was World War II. The first 20 minutes are brutal to watch. Oh, that's where I got

was really like, yeah, that was like, really burned up. Oh, there's terrible stuff. Oh, there's all kinds.

Half your body blown off. Yeah, there's a guy picking up his own arm from the ground. That's why I can't, I can't watch stuff like that. Yeah, but I think now,

if we went back and rewatched it, it's like you would be able to handle it more just because we're- Desensitized a bunch. Yeah. It's very violent, but at least it's based on something that really happened in history. It's not just making up stuff for the fun of it. I think that makes it harder.

Like, Kill Bill is almost like, it's so over the top that it doesn't seem as violent. Well, I get that but like another watch that but like i thought it was too see that wasn't that way for me but uh reservoir dogs was too much that was too real i can't handle that okay but both quentin tarantino films so his stuff is often so over the top that it's like, it doesn't seem so bad. Yeah. Yeah. I get that. Big movie guy, huh? Yeah. When he's not watching sports.

Yeah. Yeah. Apparently. Yeah. I got a lot going on guys. You're well-rounded. Multifaceted. Christine Conlon.

Great name. Conlon. Great name. Christine Conlon. That is a good name. I've been a folk from the beginning and now there's going to be a flood of new folks joining us. Joining us. Any thoughts on what we can call those of us that have been there from the beginning?

First generation folk, first wave folk, founding folk. I like founding folk a lot. I like founding folk. That's good. Yeah. Because it's kind of a reference to SNL, too. Yeah. Is it?

Because the founding father is George Washington. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, I don't like Founding Folk anymore. That's a real leap, too. Yeah. I don't think it's that big.

That's what I thought it was a reference to. Sorry. Founding Folk. Founding Folk. It's got, you know, the FF. That's got a good rating. Yeah. Founding Folk. Founding what I thought it was a reference to. Sorry. Founding folk. Founding folk. It's got the FF. That's got a good reading. Founding folk. I'm a founding folk.

Yeah. Yeah. I like that. Founding folk. Yeah. I think Aaron's right. If it wasn't the term founding father, I think we'd be like, what's founding mean? But we've heard that term.

Yeah. I just think it always means like beginning, right? Like a foundation on a house. But do you know anybody else besides founding fathers that it's been used for? Founding members of any group? Yeah. Okay.

I think I'll say founding. I think you automatically say fathers in your head. I say founding, you say fathers. And then... Give me some love. Give me, give me some love. Founding, yes, founding just means they found it. But our founding fathers did not find it.

They didn't. So that's crazy. But they found the country. Yeah. They were the founding members. Yeah. So I see what you're saying, though, because they're on the founding fathers, and then Christopher Columbus or whoever would be like, well, I found it. He's the founding father.

He's like, I found it, but you're not a dad. Yeah, yeah. They say founding members of one of the founding members. I found it, but you're not a dad. Yeah, yeah. They found the... Yeah, they say founding members of one of the founding members. Yeah, the founding principles. Yeah, yeah, for sure. It's used in other ways. You get kicked out because you don't have kids?

Yeah. Yeah, you're not a dad. Can't be a founding father? Yeah. Did all those guys have kids? I would think so. George Washington had kids? I don't know if Ben Franklin...

Oh, he did. He did. He was a terrible father. Yeah't know if ben franklin oh he did he did he's a terrible father yeah was he married uh i think he was married i don't think he cared that much that he was married if you know what i mean he did some wild stuff yeah he was crazy yeah good dude yeah speaking of let me tell you a little bit about game time that's a great segue it is our schedules usually have us buying tickets the day of the events. Instead of getting stressed out like we like out like that, we like the GameTime app. It has great prices on last-minute tickets and flash deals.

GameTime is the fast and easy way to buy tickets for all sports, music, theater, and, of course, comedy near you. The GameTime app makes it easy to see the seat view right there in the app. It's very quick and simple to use. There are only ticket apps. I barely remember that. Who do they play? I think the Nuggets. Yeah.

Where do we sit at? I mean, they're pretty up high. Yeah. I remember being there and I think I do. Yeah, I remember walking in there and all that stuff. If you'd have asked me, I might have said I've never been here. Yeah. Man, that's crazy.

I do remember that. There's been a lot of stuff. Eric Gray. My dad is 70 and recently got a new phone but he didn't want to put a phone case on it his solution he carried it around in the box

that it came in I think he had a lot of missed calls as it took him a while to get the box open every time it started ringing well I love that that's so funny that's so funny

just the white big box the iPhone yeah that takes a minute to get. That's so funny. Just the white big box the iPhone comes in. Yeah, that takes a minute to get open. It's kind of got a slide. It does. I think it's better than a case, though. It's a very bad thing to do, but it's a good idea.

You know, there's a theory that if you don't have a case, you're actually less likely to drop it. I don't have a case right now. Yeah. Do you feel nervous about that at all do you care no i mean i have apple care so it's like that's what worst case scenario you'll just get a different one yeah you just have to get it but i think i'm so clumsy with my phone because i know there is a case on it and if there wasn't i'd be a little more protective of it. I think I also have a mix of I don't.

I'm just, there's times I just hate the phone and I don't care. Like, you're almost like where you're like, you know, I left my phone last night in the car that brought us home. And I woke up and it was gone. And I was like, i don't care you know i had a moment of where like you know we got to get this phone and i was like i don't know if i'm gonna have this phone yeah till later today or tonight and i mean i was just like i don't care yeah you know if there's i don't need it then i'm with it we got it yeah there's yeah it's just yeah so i think i have a feeling of that like you know you know it's almost like i don't know maybe it breaks forever and

it'd be great uh nathan mccarter just finished dusty's full set that he uploaded to youtube and it is phenomenal all right nathan i've always enjoyed him on the pod, but hadn't heard a full set from him. It had me rolling in the airport while I waited to board. Hopefully, I'll catch him around in the near future. Oh, yeah. I mean, those are old jokes, too. I got a new set. I filmed a special.

It's coming soon. I can't talk about it too much. And then I'm doing a different hour on the road. All right. Yeah. It's coming soon. I can't talk about it too much. Then I'm doing a different hour on the road. All right. It's a lot of stuff. It's amazing, man. Yeah, it's hot. I had a weird... Yeah, go check. You look like

in this video, in the office space. Of the neighbor? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He goes, you don yeah, yeah. He's like, he goes, well, you can do that. You don't need a million dollars. I got a cousin that does that. He can do something.

Yeah. You don't need a million dollars. Yeah, I like that guy. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That character is great. Yeah, I like that guy. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That character is great. Like, yeah, like it's that your beard is just, it goes down and it's heavier a little bit more. Yeah. And those glasses and then, yeah. Everything else is remarkably similar. Yeah. That's what I'm looking at right now. Just the hat's a different color.

Yeah. No, no, but the glasses are different. Yeah. I'm so glad they got rid of that backdrop at zany's yeah me too yeah that's a that's tough looking oh yeah it looks like an airbrush t-shirt i had berg tennessee yeah i had uh yes why was it up it was for like something they used it for a taping and then they just left it there i think it was up for might have been brad yeah i think so yeah the netflix thing you were on yeah yeah uh i uh yeah i had this weekend

like because i was doing it was interesting uh because this was the first uh this is the first shows after snl and so the stuff i did on SNL is I do in my act. So doing those jokes again, it was interesting. Like it's like, cause it's like, they definitely know these. You felt them that they knew it. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think they minded like the donkey story.

Cause it's a story. I mean, I don't think they mind it. You know, it's just in my act and I kind of looked at it as you know the way you look at a tonight show where you're just kind of like yeah this is just a glimpse of my hour you know i'm still doing 58 or 50 minutes of not that yeah but it's uh it was but it was very it was an interesting feel i'll be interested to see what it feels like in a couple months like if it you know is it still feel like that because you know it's like i don't know i mean you know some stuff might not make it

out of that you know if i do if i feel it but if i can get out there and i don't feel like it matters then i'll do it then not do it's just so fresh right now yeah it's so yeah yeah yeah it was it was yeah i mean i didn't feel it the crowds were unreal this week but it was it's just and the It's so fresh right now. Yeah. It's so, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was, yeah. I mean, I didn't feel it. The crowds were unreal this week, but it was, it's just, and some of it is like could be in my head and, you know. Rebecca G. Or Gee?

Gee. Like Gordon Gee? Gordon Gee. Rebecca G. G-E-E. I like to think it's G. Yeah. Rebecca G. Like everybody,E I like to think it's G Yeah Rebecca G Like everybody

They're like What's the G stand for? You're like Oh oh geez They're like What's the G stand for? It's like G-E-E

G How tall is Dusty? I heard him Aaron call him 5'3 At least three times Over the past couple of parts I know I don't know where that's coming from

I'm 5'9 I would say three times over the past couple of parts. I know. I don't know where that's coming from. I'm 5'9", I would say. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, 5'9 is the average height of the world. That is average height. The world or the United States? I think the world. Overall, 5'9 is the average height.

And I like it. I can sit comfortably on a plane. I can take a bath in a bathtub and not be cramped up. I can go to Goodwill and buy clothes, and there's always stuff in there. It's a great- I thought you were going to look up- Worldwide, it's about five foot six. So I'm above average.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm tall, honestly. yeah so oh yeah I'm tall honestly it's uh

I said this weekend Gary Veeder made fun of me because I said in the NBA I was like in 50 years is it like everybody in the NBA

is 7 feet tall yeah because they're just getting so much taller yeah that Wemby guy's insane yeah yeah 7'4

why did he make fun of you uh because because it's just absurd to think in 50 years, like, the league will only be seven-footers. So there's, like, 450, 60 people in the NBA. Yeah. So there's going to be 467 footers that are better than, you know, everybody.

I don't think it's that much of a stretch. Yeah. I don't think it is either. You thought it was dumb to say that? I mean, Gary laughed in my face. Oh, I don't think it's silly at all. Because NBA has been around for, what, 50 years? Yeah.

I think 50 years ago, those guys were a lot shorter. Yeah, but what's the average height of a player in the NBA right now? According to the average height of a player in the NBA right now according the average height of NBA players has been around six foot three to six foot seven

since the inception of the league in the 1950s yeah now it's six foot six to six foot seven so like the floor has been

the floor is raised yeah I would have thought I would have been hiring that now but yeah I need to I don't know if I trust

this source we're gonna start getting better food out here I don't know that i trust this source we're gonna start getting better food out here i don't i don't know that we're getting taller you know what i mean our food is it's not good you gotta have some nourishment yeah yeah there's a whole 70 years of height evolution in the nba they analyzed over 4 000 players i need to dig into this. Average height's gone up. Well, it's gone down, but it's up from what it was in the 1950s. It was like under 6'4". Now it's over 6'6".

So with that trajectory, it'll all be over 7 feet. So yeah, so by 2050... Less than 28, 7 years? Well, I said in 50 years. Yeah.

It'd be 2073. Weight's gone up considerably. Well, you know, it's hard. The road is hard. Yeah, you know, I was thinking about NFL. It's like we have all these weightlifting techniques and supplements and stuff. And it's like people have gotten so strong that they're like killing each other and that's why we have to make all these new rules to kind of make football weaker yeah and it's like maybe let's stop getting so strong

and then we can really tackle guys without like crushing them that's true you know what i mean yeah i feel i mean i was no helmets i might have said that's true. You know what I mean? Yeah, I feel, I mean, I was. No helmets. I might've said that. That's what Mike Ditko used to say. It'd be like the phone case. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I think no helmets. I do actually do agree with that.

Because it's like, there's so many rules that you're not allowed to do things. But they're so strong. I know, because there's, yeah, and they got all these. Freaks, man. Yeah, it's like, it's unbelievable. It's like, we've gotten too strong and our bodies can't handle getting hit like that. Yeah, I always feel there's more concussions now than ever has to be i was watching you see it you know but i thought everything was supposed to get safer but i mean you and it's not like i know like well they didn't

report them back then right or something but maybe you know you have so much coverage now that you're just seeing it more now than you ever did but i, I mean, I thought like, all right, well, that's a very conscious thing that the NFL is doing. And you're like, every game, someone just falls and just hits their head on the ground, and they don't know where they're at. And it feels like every four or five plays, someone's injured. There's a UFC fighter in a fight recently recently and he got it it looked like he got um kind of like knocked out or had a concussion something like that and then so the doctor comes in and then they were fighting

in dubai and i think he you know so he's like he goes what country are you in you're like it's like a guy i don't figure he might be from brazil or something you're like if you ask me yeah like over there you'd be like i don't know if i know you know yeah what is dubai the country or is it saudi arabia or you know yeah it's like a pretty tough and then they're the doctor's like he doesn't know where he's at you're like i don't know if any of us really know where right like what's your hotel room number you're like i don't know i any of us really know where we're at. Right. What's your hotel room number? You're like, I don't know. I was in, you know, 602, I think. Yeah.

Yeah, it's not what country, you know. That's a little, it would be more, you know. Do you ever see Varsity Blues? Yeah. The movie, there's a scene of Varsity Blues where the big guy gets a concussion and the doctor's going, what's two plus two? And then the quarterback comes over and goes, no, no, no. It true false true false he's holding up some things true yes it's just a dumb guy on the ground yeah yeah it's funny yeah it was like but it was just funny he's like what country

you're in and he didn't say it or something and you're like you know i don't why would this guy know about Dubai? You know, it's not. Dubai is like, is that a city or a country? I would have to think about that. Yeah. You just said, yeah. I'm saying, yeah, that's what he's.

Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. I think it's a country, but it'd be one I'd have to think about. The most populous city in the UAE? There you go. Could have waited two seconds. Capital of the Emirate of Dubai. The most populated of the country's seven emirates.

Right. That's a confusing country. Imagine if you just answered with that. I'm currently in the most populous city in the UAE. Yeah. I mean, that's an insane. I might have said Saudi Arabia. And you have a joke about going to Dubai,

don't you? I don't know. Bahrain. Oh, Bahrain. And then, oh, I didn't know that's where Dubai was.

Yeah. Where is it? Is it by Saudi Arabia? What is Saudi Arabia? Saudi Arabia is a country. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean,

that's, that's a pretty tough. And then he's like, this guy doesn't know where he country. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, that's a pretty tough. And then he's like, this guy doesn't know where he's at. You're like, I mean, that's a tough. Dubai's on the pizza crust. UAE's its own thing. Of Saudi Arabia. Yeah.

Pizza crust. I was almost supposed to go to UAE and we did not. In high school? No, for the stuff for the troops. Yeah. Stuff for the troops. the stuff for the troops. Yeah. Stuff for the troops. That sounds like a university. Yeah.

UAE. Almost got there. Aaron, you want to tell us about Delete.me? Oh, I've been waiting all day to talk about it. Delete.me. What a company, folks. We're excited to tell you about a new sponsor, Delete.me. Nate and Laura have been using it for a long time now, and I've also signed up.

They're the most remote. Economically and socially, but we're talking about physical remotes. Well, I'm the most remote, you know, economically and socially. But we're talking about physical remote. Well, I'm the most socially. How is it they're in Brazil? How's it their winter if it's starting to become our winter? Because Australia should be getting warmer right now. So we're in the fall coming into winter, right?

So it was still very good. When i do a showcase at the club and they say you want me to bring you up as nateland podcast i go no no because they're going to get so excited and think it's nate i do the opposite yeah i always help them introduce me as the star of the nateland podcast it's already going to be disappointed so might as well just get out of the way i love that and dusty wouldn't do i think i told this on here when you weren't here. I told Dusty to introduce me and Dusty's like, nah, I ain't going to do that. And I said, all right, just say I'm on the Nate Lampard. And he goes, nah, I ain't going to do that either.

Well, I think that was the thing. Nate had done it a couple of times in a row. And I'm like, I don't want to, you know, like the audience is going to think Nate's going to be here. And then if I bring, you know, it's like, I don't want to, not that you would be a disappointment, but I don't want to do them like that, you know.

Because it would be a disappointment. Well, I'm going to introduce you both as that. Yeah. So anyway, that's,

I got Zany's, this weekend, I'm at Comedy Off-Broadway. Great club. All right. I like that. Kentucky. We shot Greg Warren's

special there. Oh, yeah. I love that club. And then November 18th, I'm at Studio Theater in Little Rock. People are like, man, you're going to have a hard time selling tickets because Bert Kreischer is there the same night. I think we have slightly different audiences. So I think, I don't know if I can blame it on that. You will take your shirt off on stage.

Yeah. I think they'll be attracted to your earlier start time yeah so anyway come to those shows uh yeah i was in albany this weekend mulaney was there or something so right at the theater right wow right next to the club uh i felt it this weekend i'm in uh bridgeport connecticut at the stress factory two nights and the next weekend i'm excited this weekend is actually selling well like the comic strip in edmonton alberta all right i've never headlined anything in canada before so it's exciting numbers and i was like oh these are actually going to be yeah great shows yeah so i'm there for thursday friday

Where is it? Where is it? Tuesday. Next Tuesday, you're at the Grand Ole Opry. Oh, Grand Ole Comedy Show. That's what I call my show at Zany's, the Grand Ole Comedy Show. I think that's confusing. It's kind of the vice versa of what he just did.

Yeah. You're like, maybe you shouldn't call it. Well, I used to call it that before I was actually able to do the Grand Ole Op. Yeah. And now it's a bit confusing. I've been doing the show a long time and it was like, yeah, it was a playoff.

I'm in Nashville. It's a Grand Ole Comedy Show. And now it is confusing. Yeah. Yeah. So, but it's going to be great. All And now it is confusing. Yeah. Yeah. So, but it's going to be great. All these shows are going to be great. You can't go wrong.

Yeah. Buy a ticket to a Nate Land show and it's going to be great. It's going to be great. It's going to be fun. All right. That is it. We love you. I hope you have a great week.
