Hey everybody, so the podcast that comes out today, we recorded right after I did the Manningcast. So when I did it, it was the next day. And so, you know, I was a little fired up to be honest. And I don't remember what I said. But we actually saw the Manicast tonight. That is December 18th. So they actually apologized to my dad on the Manicast. So I felt, I'm going to leave in what I said.

It was very nice that Peyton did apologize about that. You know, it was the setup. It was the whole thing. And I don't mention, in this way of doing it, I don't mention my dad. They made a couple jokes about my dad's trick. That's what, I didn't know my dad had seen that part of them doing it. I know, and obviously he listens to our podcast. So I didn't want to really, like, make it about that.

But that's what really drove it all was uh you know just protecting my i don't need to protect my dad my dad took it way better than i did to be honest uh but uh yeah i fired up when your dad's involved when family's involved exactly just you exactly and it was rain it was right after we did it. So you did blackout with rage. Yeah. We don't know. We, yeah, we don't know. And, uh, so I hope, uh,

I don't know. Don't take it. Don't take anything too serious. It's like anything. I'm it's, uh, we're being ridiculous. I'll leave it in.

You can decide if it's too, I didn't mean to be too mean. Uh, Graham's here. Graham's, uh, by the way, it has nothing to do with any of this.

Uh, I came over for dinner. Yeah. Graham K. Uh, he's yeah. Graham's, by the way, has nothing to do with any of this. I came over for dinner. Yeah, Graham K. He's, yeah, Nick Novicki's actually in this episode that you're going to see today. So, no, Graham, there's really not a point for him being here other than he was the reason I did it. He talked me into it. Hope you're happy. This is going to ruin my career, isn't he?

Probably. He's going back to Canada. All right. Enjoy the episode. Hello, folks, and hey, Bear. welcome to the Nate Land Podcast. I'm Nate Bargetzi, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, and sitting in for Dusty, Nick Novicki. He's back. Old friend of the podcast. It's been a while since you've been on here. I know, I know. I'm excited to be back. I think it's been almost two years.

It's been a while. Yeah. And a lot has happened. It hasn't been two years. I think it's been close because I don't think you've been on since Dusty's been a regular. Yeah. And Dusty started episode 100 and this is like 170. Have you had your kids since you were here last?

I don't think so. No, I think I. I think you have, but she's almost three, right? She's two. Yeah, two. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So I had. So not three. Yeah. Yeah. She's two. Yeah, two. Yeah. Yeah. So I had. So not three. Yeah. Yeah. She's almost three. Two. So she's two. That's like a positive way to tell someone they're wrong.

Yeah. Yeah. She's two. Yeah. Yeah. She's three. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. She's two now. Just positive. Well, welcome everybody. We're glad to have Nick back. You know. Christmas episode. We're glad to have Nick back. This is our Christmas episode. This is the Christmas episode. We're all in the holiday spirit.

Happy Festivus. Happy Festivus. I brought in that pole for you. Oh, wait. You better hear about it. Ah. I got a lot of problems. Yeah, that's why I brought it in.

Yeah, I'll share some grievances. Variant of grievances. We can start it off with it. We did the Manning cast last night. So I'll share all my grievances. I'm going to start with you, Cougar. So me and my dad did the Manicast last night. And I don't think it was good. And I'm just annoyed by it.

Because the setup is not great. There's a big delay. And I was not used to it. You hear it, you hear it and you don't realize it. I couldn't get that ear thing in my ear. Whoever designed it, like, you see that problem on TV a lot. You're like, let's figure it out. It shouldn't be, though, because, I mean, a lot of times it's when some quarterback or somebody just left the field and they're on the field doing an interview

and they throw it on real fast. But, I mean, news anchors, it should be, there's no reason, unless you sat down five seconds before it started. No, I sat down. No, I had it in and it was in, and then it started coming out. Then it kept coming out. Now I don't put it in like, I mean, but I wasn't told how to put it in. Well, they should do that for you.

Well, they, I mean, it should be, they, it should be put in for you. Probably taped out or, or strapped down somehow. It wasn't stripped. Yeah.

I think it was clipped to my hoodie or something. And I was trying to like lift it up. It just got off to a weird, like once, once an earpiece starts to come out too, it's like, let me try to get that back in. You still open up the door. I haven't try to turn my head at one point because it was

it pops out yeah and so I try to turn my head to the because I was trying to be like all right if it pops out while I'm talking I just don't want that distraction of it popping out so I'll try to hide it but I mean you can see it it was uh, yeah, the whole thing was, you know, I don't know. Like, I met Peyton recently. And so I don't really know him. I was actually weirdly, maybe, I couldn't end up going. I was supposed to have dinner with Eli Manning and a few other people the week before. And I couldn't go to it.

And I always thought, like, should I went to it just to – because in my head I did think that, like, should I go with it just to be like, I need to, like – So he gets to know your voice. Yeah, so he gets to know, yeah, my vibe and, like, you know. Because that's the hard part when you do interviews is if the person, they don't know anything that I do. And I'm not saying that they should. I'm not blaming them for that.

But they know nothing I do. They know I am a comedian. I'm a, they're being, whatever they're being told. I don't, I would bet my life they have not watched a second of my comedy. They may be seen once. Maybe. I don't, I would say none of it. They may be seen once. Maybe. I don't, I would say none of it.

So you don't know. So if they don't know me and don't know, like how, you know, the first time I brought up the center thing, I was actually, I was pretty proud of that. Like,

cause I was like, y'all keep talking about the center. Like you brought them off the, you don't know them. And then, you know, be like, would you,

you know, the blindfold thing and all that. And they got to like, that got to think. But it's like, when you say that, it's not a good, it didn't, I thought it would keep going and be like, all right. I like, I, you know, they were like the questions they, I saw the questions they asked and you're just, you want to like, you don't understand the comic.

You want to go like, I can just talk. Yeah. Let's just talk. Right. I'll be okay. You know, to go like, I can just talk. Let's just talk. I'll be okay to do this. You have two games going on. And then so I'm also trying not to – I don't know what to do with the games. It's like I'm seeing – they can see both games.

I can only see what you're seeing on TV. So sometimes they would see both games and then be like, wow, the Titans got – blah, blah, blah. And also a lot of those two, you think. Do you want me to talk football? Like, I thought that's the whole point. Like when we're on game day, it's like that's annoying to go. You know, if you have a comedian on and I'm telling you my real thoughts on football, that's stupid. They all do that.

So that's what I thought of this was like, all right, well, I'll just be funny and just try to bring up random stuff. Like when I said the receiver, when he runs away early, does that mean he doesn't know? Like that was a whole thing to try to get that in because it's like we kept cutting each other off. Right. Because you're so delayed. Yeah. And then when I asked that, like, you know, I'm just trying to ask fun questions like i don't know i'm just trying to be silly i thought that was the whole point yeah there's a delay between the two of them

and then they add a third person in yeah but do they have a delay i think i don't i don't think they there's no way i don't think they do they don't have a delay on the game but they have a delay with you i think they have a delay to me i'm saying they don't have a delay on the game, but they have a delay with you, I think. They have a delay to me. I'm saying they don't have a delay to each other. Oh, I don't know. But even a Zoom that has no delay is a little bit, it's not obviously the same. Yeah, but I'm saying they don't, I don't think they have a delay to each other. So they can talk.

Because when you see interviews on TV, you can tell when there's a delay. Then you can tell when they're, you know, it's like, all right, they're both at studios, basically. So you can shoot an interview with no delay, right? Like on PTI. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Sure.

Yeah, yeah. So like they have no delay. But then we have a delay. And so it's just, you know, and I'm not trying to complain. This feels like I'm complaining. Well, I was annoyed by it. To be honest with you, I was a little just, it's annoying to, you know, like it's, I know like, you know, they think like we're not, you know, it's like I'm not a good guess. Mark Wahlberg, they said was not a good guess.

It's not, I don't think it's fair to throw all that stuff on us. Why are, what do we do? We're not doing anything. You're asking us the questions. Why are we there? Well, plus, it's like you got two games going on. So they'll be like, so tell us about your wife. Like, wait a minute, touchdown, touchdown.

That's the other problem. That's the first time I've ever had two games. Yeah. They didn't even need guests on that one. Yeah. It's too much football. Well, they didn't have Kirk Cousins on. Y'all sit and talk about football. enjoy talking to football players right yeah that's

what they enjoy they enjoy you know uh you know it's like i i could feel like because they were saying like mark walberg's energy was not good you're like you can feel it because then when you feel how off it is you just then go you kind of have an I don't care attitude. Like in your, you know, because it's just like, I mean, I'm trying to get like a something off. I'm trying to get a rapport of being like, let's see if I was in the room with them. It'd be totally different. Totally different. Yeah.

But they also liked what you were doing too. It was like, you know, when you were talking about the receivers, you could see Eli. He's like, oh, wait a minute yeah maybe the receiver does wait too long you know or it goes out too early you know there was a moment but he just didn't say anything where it was like yeah they don't it's you know and then when my dad's bad trick you know they had to cut away so he didn't even show the trick right i was just trying to do a quick trick that works they had a thing written in there they wrote this script they had a thing in about uh something with my dad and then we're like well he could do a magic trick and you know you feel like it's a looser kind of thing

it gets it's set up and everything's pretty loose it's not a you know this isn't a uh it's not a you know this isn't a uh you know well scripted yeah it's it's it's you that's what's funny too you do some stuff at some you think it's gonna be this super high level kind of thing and then you're like oh it's a run and gun kind of setup yeah and then so if it's run and gun you're gonna be the one that's gotta figure it out out. And I should have figured it out. I should have, you know, if I didn't, you know, it was a perfect problem. I had a really crazy weekend, you know, we did a podcast and then immediately kind of went to that. And I was just feeling a little, I was like a little burnout. I was excited to do it. And then, and then I'm seeing like the hurdles I'm as I sit there, I didn't, I couldn't win. I should have went out there earlier. I should have sat there and realized what was going on. There's a little stuff I didn't pre-plan.

But like when I went out there and then I heard the delay and then the, your thing, then you're like, Oh, this is, you're like, this has a chance of not being good. And then I was trying to say, I'm just trying to say dumb stuff. Right. I mean, that's why I said the sinner thing. Yeah. Because it was like, I'm just trying to, who cares? It doesn't matter what I'm saying.

I'm not talking about the game. What do you want me to do? It's a good question. It is. I thought it was a funny question because they had just been harping on about it for a long time. Because you were listening to what they were saying. Yeah. Yeah.

And I've been pre-thinking questions that the receiver one I always thought about. Because you see a receiver that doesn't really get in the huddle and he takes off. And you're like. Oh, this is a run play. Yeah. Like, does the defense not go like, well, that guy's clearly not a part of this play. I mean, he didn't even kind of hear what was going on. And I always think that.

So that's why I asked that question. And then it's like my dad's trick is like they, you know, they just cut away right at the thing. And then it's like, well, that's not his fault. The setup is not in our favor. and it should be a little bit more. And you should at least explain it. If we have a guest on and it wasn't good, that's not the guest's fault. That would be our fault for not making it good. Unless it's Nick.

Unless it's Nick. Then it's probably Nick's fault. A little bit me. Yeah. But everybody understands it would be Nick's Nick. Unless it's Nick. Then it's probably Nick's fault. A little bit me. Yeah. But everybody understands it would be Nick's fault. Everybody listening knows Nick and goes, well, I think everybody goes, obviously, Nick. It was, yeah. I'm not venting about it.

How did you even, did they approach you about being on there? How did it even come about? When I talked to Peyton at CMA. So to me, yeah, Peyton's not going to take the time to do a ton of research, watch all your specials, but he should at least know a little bit. It doesn't, it's

sometimes when you do this stuff, it's like you just need to know like, hey, this is very loose. Just be told there's going to be a delay. Very loose. They're going to talk about football. They sent the questions before, and I'm trying to read them,

try to see if I can come up with something. And some of them I'm trying to be like, well, I'll just flip it and just ask the questions I ask and see if that kind of gets a thing going. It's hard to get a conversation going when there's that much of a delay. Yeah. And then because I got a delay, and then i don't know if they're if they talk over each other or something like it's it's very hard to kind of like really be like get into a good rhythm like you can really only talk you know and you then you're just sitting there watching a football game two games two games what's my face supposed to look like? Honestly, I sit there going like, all right, try not, because I would see it and it looks

like I'm mad. And I'm like, well, I'm just at home watching a game. No one, you know, you don't like sit and go, I don't know how to do that and feel like it would be stupid. At least you have good vision though. If I was watching, I'd be like just squinting the whole time. Like what is that? That'd probably be a lot more fun.

Yeah. know if i was watching i'd be like just squinting the whole time like what that'd probably be a lot more fun yeah when they showed the graphic of you as a miami yeah thing kid nick wouldn't be able to see it like i don't get it yeah yeah they they it was you know like that joke was yeah it's just they had me do the free range chicken joke uh eli loved it you know he's eli is fun I'm a lifelong Giants fan and I love Eli Manning he's great I'm wearing all Vanny stuff to make a point

today but it's we got a lot of Tennessee obviously probably tons of Tennessee fans Ole Miss fans everybody loves the Manning fans. I get it. They're great.

That show should not have nothing but their friends, their football players. You either need to know them so that you can have rapport. Taylor LeJuan and Will Compton's interview was better. They know each other, and they're talking football, and they're telling variable stories, and the Mannings light up about that stuff they like that stuff just do that well that's kind of how you've approached having guests on this podcast yeah from day one right yeah we've never done anything over zoom and it's all people you already have a relationship yeah i'm doing zoom

you know how crazy that is to do zoom on that it's on espn2 and i'm on and it says zoom that's insane yeah like that you mean what are we doing and it's not it's not a good zoom it's not the zoom that you want it to be like a zoom like a work zoom that we've all figured out how to do it's a zoom that's delayed so then you're just sitting there and i know for my tv days when they do stuff like that i don't know for sure but usually they outsource it they hire some company in whatever town they're in to send a guy over who gets so that guy i'm assuming did not work for espn he was just someone they hired they were i mean the two guys were very nice yeah two older dudes they were very nice but yeah i don't i. They were very nice. But yeah, I don't, I mean, I don't, no one cares.

Here, here's my, is my lesson or if I, younger comics, maybe younger and any field you do, no one cares if you look good. Just always remember that no one really cares. So you got to do your best part to look good in whatever you do. I think really anything. No one is no one. And by the way, it's not their responsibility to care. I mean, you they just they're everybody's trying to do their best kind of thing.

And that should if they're trying to do their best, they should care how it looks. It's on them. I know, but they're not going to care if it goes bad. Maybe that's what I mean. They're there. No one's going to really if you don't do good they're just they write it off as like i'd imagine they write that as like we're never gonna like it was pointless to have nate on so like that's mark that off i'll never get asked to do it again where you know you want to go and that's fine i shouldn't ever do it again. It's not the right, I think I could be really good on it, but I can't in that situation. And, uh, you know, it's hard to be like, you know, it's, you know, I, it's, you know, it's like, you just realize no one, I just, you just can tell they,

they just don't know who, when, when you're a comic and you're on a show, if a person doesn't know anything that you do, it's usually radio interviews are like that. Where sometimes if interviews have got easier for me, just as more people have realized who I am. But at the beginning, that's the hardest part for comics because they don't care who they're interviewing. Right. So it's like, you got to interview this guy who's doing the comedy thing.

They go, okay, whatever. And then they do it. And then it's just not like, you got to interview this guy's doing the comedy thing. They go, okay, whatever. Like, you know, and you know, and then they do it. And then it's just not like, there's no work. And I don't know if the mannings are well, I mean, I think they probably put, they put work into that, that pre-taped audition thing. They sent me, they already, they like, I had to, I had to film that. We filmed it. I was going to film it on stage.

Like I could have set up stuff to be really fun. And that's what I should have done. Taken control. Be like, if you want me to do this, I'm going to send you the stuff that I want to do. Because this will be better.

I could have filmed that at State Farm Arena. That question, made fun of Peyton on stage in front of 13,000 people. And then videoed it. It would have been funny and it would have been,

and it would have just been a fun kind of thing but it was like they do this audition thing they send me their answers like pre so now i have to do it their way because they got they've already pre-taped these answers so now it's like all right so i gotta go stand in front of a camera and do my joke and you know it's it's uh because because i would imagine most people that they deal with want want it that way because they're not a creator but when you're a creator you're just like i don't know what this is no i don't want to do that do it this way but then you know it's like who am i to start bossing them around and telling them to do it? Yeah, I remember when you were doing it and, you know, the forehead bit.

I was like, ooh, I don't know how that's going to get up. They wrote that. They wrote it. After he's like, yeah, that was his idea about the forehead. I was like, I don't know. You know. No, that's the bit. My joke is obviously the football joke. And then all the stuff I said about Peyton, they wrote.

So I just did it. Because, I mean, I had to do it. I had to make fun of them. I'm not trying to say it in some other way, but I had to make fun of them because that's what it was. There was a lot more questions we were going to talk about, too. But, I mean, it's just a tough situation like you're just not you know and i mean it's like you know i don't know i really don't want to feel like i'm i hope because this episode comes out next week so though i've already been

another manning cast by the time this comes out i hope it goes great for the i hope they still i hope they blast you on that one and like boy, the guy we had last week was the worst. It would be funny. I don't want to, it's not a problem. I don't want to, I know this you know, it's like I'm complaining. I just, I was like, it's

just annoying. Like it's just like, it's kind of annoying. Well, this just happened. So we're just talking about it. It happened hours ago. Yeah, we're pre-recorded this. So yeah, this, just talking about it it happened hours ago yeah we're pre-recording this so yeah this i mean this it happened last night and i was just so like it's just like it's a it's a just not a good situation and you want and i but i should have figured it out it's not on them if you know that's what i mean when you go to do something it's not gonna you don't i don, whatever you think you want your appearance to be, they,

you're just a peg in this, whatever that saying is. Cog in the wheel. Cog in the wheel. So you're not really important. If you, if I canceled immediately, they would have been like, okay, same amount of viewers watch whatever. It doesn't mean anything to them. So you, I should have been more prepared. It made me realize that. same amount of viewers watch whatever they it doesn't mean anything to them so you i should

have been more prepared it made me realize that like all right i need to be i should have been more prepared to do it more like what are we doing like what are you know i did it so then then i get myself in a situation like i was in i should have done that and then it made me realize too like all right if i'm doing something I need to make sure that the other people are getting the best treatment that they could, you know, that they could get. And, you know, to put them in the best light. And if it doesn't go, then it's not really on me. Side note, I had to wait outside for the last four hours. Nate was like, you're not coming in until you're ready here.

Yeah. So I'm like in the cold. You're already ruining you're not coming in until you're ready here. Yeah. So I'm like in the cold. You're already ruining this project. Here we go. I'm bombing. But to your point, I mean, you got to, yeah, no one cares

how you, production wise. I mean, these guys here, the nose whistle. I mean, I'm like, if they're not going to care about it,

then I'm just going to have to stop the nose whistle myself. You have to. Yeah. Because they don't care. They'll just let it whistle all day. Or there'll be a public outcry. Yeah, so I see where you're coming from. We've all been there.

Yeah. Your day is full of to-dos, responsibilities, and balancing work with spending quality time with loved ones while finding time for yourself. With everything you have on your plate, earning your degree online seems impossible. But at Grand Canyon University, they specialize in helping you fit your bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree into your busy day. GCU is an affordable private Christian university

based in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona. I've been there a bunch. I mean, you're getting asked these questions. It's like, I can only make the questions, the answers so fun, you know? beautiful Phoenix, Arizona. I've been there a bunch. You're getting asked these questions. I can only make the questions, the answers so fun. You get a mix of how is Saturday Night Live to so when did you know you were funny?

You still answer those questions. What am I supposed to answer? Just be mad at the guy and be like what is this question? Yeah. I don't know. Well, it's over now. But I was glad to get – I wanted to get this off my chest. There you go.

And I wanted to do it publicly. There you go. Yeah. Maybe I'll see the Mannings again. See if it gets weird. I'll make it as weird as they want to make it. I'm wearing this Vanderbilt. I could care less now.

The whole next episode is about, you know, we just love Nate Bargatze. And it's already come out. It's already come out. Wait a minute. We got to do a little editing, you know. Yeah, that would be funny. The whole episode. Yeah.

I think you got to move that. Yeah. A little while. Yeah, move it. No, he brings some energy to the table. That's what we could use for you. You could even push it. All right. Yeah. A little loud. Yeah, move it. No, he brings some energy to the table. It's what we could use for you. You could even push it. All right.

Yeah, what is that? You don't lean towards it. I'm not leaning towards it. Remember this weekend at the arena? Yeah. Remember when you were talking on stage and the mic was not even near you, but you were still?

You got to, your voice. Your voice is good. You project. You project. You're like, because you do theater. Yeah. You do theater. I do. You're like, because you do theater. Yeah. You do theater. I do.

Yeah. Just, you know. This weekend, we were just randomly talking, and the mic is six feet away on a stool. Yeah. And it's just picking Nick's voice up, and it's like going all over the thing. We had fun. So, all right. All right.

Well, that's the Manning cast. So that's how it went. It went like that. Yeah. Yeah. It'd be fun to see if I ever see him again. Why would I? I don't know.

Why would I cross paths? Oh, you're going to go to dinner with Eli. I was supposed to. I would go now. Yeah. I really would. I would love it now. Honestly, if I got asked to go again, if they set it up, I really would. I would I would I would love it now. I honestly, if I got asked to go again, if they set it up, I would go because I would want to feel how I and not that they would.

I don't think he would even feel anything, but I would and I would make it awkward. It's you know, I would have a hard time not saying anything. I would say something like, you saying anything. I would say something. Like, you know, and I would try to do it in a nice way, but it would be on my mind. I can't ever just let stuff go. Like, you know, it's like I would, that's all I would think about. And so all I would do, they'd be like, oh, we'll have a nice little dinner with a bunch of people. And I mean, I would just be.

On a delay. Yeah. Is everybody's food going to come out at the same time? Eli, are you going to finish early and then be mad at us? Cause we're not done yet. Cause you got your food first. Eli, Peyton.

Yeah. I feel like you're next week on the main. The Titans win. Hey, the Titans. Yeah. You're the good luck charm. That was great, game. That's all that mattered. Will Levis, dude, I'm pumped about Will Levis.

Oh, yeah, man. He's exciting. Again, all the Tennessee fans, when we drafted Will Levis, the Tennessee fans – Trashed him, dude. Trashed him. I know. And, like, he's been fun.

I didn't know – I was excited that we got him. And the Tennessee fans, who know everything, and they know everything about everything, they said he was bad. Well, this dude's been fun to watch. And he's at least energetic. And he's pumped up. And he's excited.

And it's a fun thing. It's a fun vibe that we got going on the Titans. It made me, I want to watch the rest of the seat. I mean, it's super exciting. It's exciting to be like, all right, dude. Is this guy going to, like, I don't know what he might work out, but if you're that excited and pumped up, I don't care.

I know. Like, that's all I want. It's fun. Now, again, they've already played another game. Yeah. So, Will Levis in the hospital with. No, Will Levis probably won. He had 327 passing yards.

Yeah. It's fun, dude. He was fired up on that last touchdown. Indestructible. Yeah, Hopkins has been – Dude, it's been – The Titans are – We're fun.

We've been fun. That's what we needed is just some good energy in there. Well, that game was super fun. Yeah. And I – Look, I loved it. We won. I mean, that game –

We were down two touchdowns with four minutes left. I think three minutes left, right? Yeah. Three minutes left. Yeah, the Dolphins had a 99. How old's your kid? Two. Three?

Two. But they said it was the first time in 700-something games. Yeah, 67 games. Oh, well, that's a little bit different than what I just said. It was like every team's been down by this for this much time left. I thought it was like 700-something games. I said 767. Oh, I thought you just said 67.

I was like, no, I'm off by 700. At one point, the Dolphins in the fourth quarter had 99.7% win probability. Yeah. And that's pretty close to 100. Pretty close to 100. He was like a professional wrestler, though, at the end of that. That was the probability of the Man main cast going bad was that 99 point once i sat down and realized oh they're on a giant delay there's a 99.7 this is gonna go bad taylor the one said it he just right when he got he goes he goes all right that's the

kind of and he did it very well because he goes that's he goes all right that's the lag we're gonna be dealing with okay yeah he He made that joke and said that. And they did good. They just talked over him. They did it much better. They know him. So they were really, really good. Everybody was really good outside.

Yeah, I enjoyed it once you got off. It was really short. I understand that. And you should have. I understand that. Kirk Cousins was great. And that's completely right. That's completely right.

Now, the delay is so funny because even after the game, Scott Van Pelt, I mean, you see it every night. He's interviewing Will Levis, holding a mic, and there's a slight delay. So Scott Van Pelt will say something funny, and then he gets serious. But Will Levis will start laughing during the serious part because he's on a delay. You see it all the time. See it all the time. All right. Well, thanks.

Yeah. Thanks for. I know, you know, you guys don't have to hear this venting. Sorry. I just had to get it out. I felt safe doing it with all you. With all the folks. Yep.

Seem like good. Everybody's good people. We get it. Yeah. They get it. All right. That's it on the show. This could people. We get it. Yeah. They get it. All right. That's it on the show. This could be just a bonus episode.

Yeah. What if I get Peyton Ely to come on? What if I should ask him to come on the podcast? Both of them? Yeah. Me and Dusty are gone. And just. The Mannings across the table.

Oh, yeah. And then you're in another room. Yeah. It could be downstairs. Just ask him all the questions why is this why don't y'all get more of a heads up by it's one of those things where it's like someone and you do something where someone like invites you to do something and they think you just know how it works and you want to go hey i've never done this so like maybe like let's we should have definitely talked more about it was very it's a very loose yeah invite yeah yeah yeah all right

well we did it did it you can check it off i'll make sure to be better and uh other stuff what uh so that's what I was doing. I was in Delaware this weekend. Yeah. Shows were great. Standing ovation, which is rare at a corporate, but standing ovation every show. Standing ovation. You know, I did the University of Delaware right after Joe Flacco got drafted.

Really? Yeah. I brought that up on there. They cheered. One of the first colleges I did. They got cool colors. Blue and white? Yeah.

I guess that's cool. It is cool. It's just pretty basic. Yeah. Well, I mean, every school is basic. Every color is basic. It's what you do with it. And they do fun stuff with it.

Yeah. It was, yeah. Look at that. That's fun. do with it. And they do fun stuff with it. Yeah. It was, yeah. Look at that. That's fun. Blue and yellow. Blue and yellow. That's fun. That's my high school's blue and yellow.

Some big games this week. Rutgers got a big bowl game. Notre Dame got a big bowl game. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Do you care about Rutgers? No. Okay.

I don't know if this is known on the podcast. I'm a Notre Dame fan. Nick's a fellow Notre Dame fan. Well, I know he's a fellow. Didn't he care about Rutgers? No. Okay. I don't know if this is known on the podcast. I'm a Notre Dame fan. Nick's a fellow Notre Dame fan. Well, I know he's a fellow. Didn't he go to Rutgers? No. Oh, well, never mind. Yeah.

Good research, man. She's two years old. She's two years old. Why not think he went to Rutgers? All right. I looked at Nick at Rutgers big game, and he's like, okay, who cares? I didn't know why you were bringing up Rutgers. Where'd you go to college?

Temple in Philly. Oh, it's the same thing. There you go. There you go. It's only another stateilly. Oh, it's the same thing. Yeah. It's only another state. You know, Philadelphia, New Jersey. Actually, my wife went to Rutgers. Because, yeah. That's why I knew your wife before.

Oh, really? Yeah. That's cool. How about that? Nick, Bill Cosby. Both went to Temple. He's my idol. Yeah.

Use that. You use it how you want to use it. Yeah. What do you want to use it. All right. Yeah. What do you want to? I was at Sidesplitters in Tampa. Yeah. All right. Thank you to everybody who came.

Thank you. Nick, you were at home. Yeah. Really fun time with you. Yeah. Thank you. I mean, it's crazy. Yeah.

We had a fun time. It's insane. I mean, these like. It's wonderful. The people that come out are wonderful. And I can't thank them enough. And I appreciate. We've got a nice thing.

I think everybody has a wonderful time. It's a it's truly, truly a special thing. And it's blown away. We got to play hockey, too, in Tampa. We play. Yeah. So it turns out, Nick, that's his sport is it really yeah yeah we so they had this it's like you play floor hockey yeah and so they had like a little

rink so we they had they set up these guys came up it was like tampa bay something no the lightning i'm saying the guy that they did a uh pup pup course which was awesome a guy brought in a pup of course set it up and we it was super we played you know the full you know we played a bunch and then they they also had this little rink and it was i mean probably double the size of a bedroom you know like whatever it wasn't like huge and they had the wall and glass and they had a real goal. And then they had sticks in there and you could shoot pucks at it. So then we were like,

all right, let's just, you know, let's play. We played two on two. We've never really done it. Well, Nick is unreal.

Like Nick's like, can you know, get the puck and like shoot it high shoot it low and he's very aggressive i did i played against nate so i did a little check on him i got checked i got hit in the shin with a stick bye nick i got one up in the air that almost hit nick in the face it went by that was the thing was we were switching who was going to be the goalie so uh i had to go on goal and i was like i could do it and then one literally i went like i just turned a little bit i was like all right eric uh you want to hop back yeah yeah yeah we really

made eric and chase be the goalies because they're the that's the two faces that could be ruined and the show could still go on. And it was, yeah, it was so fun. But it's funny. So when we play sports with Nick, there's usually like something to make it a level playing field. Like when you play basketball, you got to let the ball drop and it's got to hit first. No, nothing. This is a straight up, you play hockey with him,

it's every man for itself. Rules are the rules. Wow. And he's and I mean, he just beats down like him. You get the fighting for the puck. It was we had a lot of fun. Yeah, it was a little dangerous, though. Like Nick Thune, who was also on on the shows.

He literally hit a, like, slap shot against your dad. Just nailed it right in the chest. My dad's a dungoli where everybody's just trying to be silly. And then, yeah, then Nick just, I mean, just drills my dad in the chest with a real puck. With a real puck. Yeah.

Oh, gosh. Yeah. Yeah. So I made my dad myself a bruise from that real puck. But, yeah yeah it was It was a special special weekend It really was Do we need to do one?

No the first one was already pre-recorded So we got a little time Alright Let's start off with you guys' comments Judd Johnson That's a good name Judd Johnson Yeah that's a good name. Judd Johnson. Yeah, that's a good name.

That guy lives. Yeah, Judd Johnson does not live in the neighborhood. No. He lives, you know, he's got a long driveway. Is Judd short for something? Or are you just saying Judd? Judson. Judd.

Judson? No, I think you just named Judd. Judd Apatow, Judd Johnson. Judd Hirsch. I'd imagine Judd Johnson and Judd Apatow would have trouble having a conversation together. This podcast is authentic and it's always refreshing break from all comics who just pretend to be stupid. We're authentically stupid. We're authentically comics who just pretend to be stupid. All right. We're authentically stupid.

We're authentically stupid. Yeah, I like that. We are. We're not ashamed either. Last week's episode, which we recorded yesterday, I said co-meant to. Right as we're rolling the credits, Aaron pointed out, looked up, that's not accurate. It means equal, work together, but not to. We will humbly fact check ourselves. Yeah. That's not accurate. It means equal, work together, but not two.

We will humbly fact check ourselves. Yeah. And I also looked up, when I got home, NOAA, when it was established, since that was a theme, 1970. Well, it said 200 years. On their website. On their website. It said over 200 years of doing it. I believe you, but I don't know why they said over 200 years. There was something like in the early 1800s where they patrolled the coastline.

So it was called something else, but Noah was flat straight up on the front of their website. Yeah. Highlighted said over 200 years. Well, you can't say that on your website. I'll find it. Yeah.

Yeah. So maybe it wasn't. No, it was i was on here somewhere yeah we saw maybe they got it off already these guys are taking stuff too serious yeah yeah no noaa's roots reach back more than 200 years but i mean that's yeah no yeah. Look, Noah's roots in 1807. Yeah, Thomas Jefferson found. Yeah. Come on. Come on.

Come on. What are we doing? Darren Chaney. My girlfriend and I love your show. We love it so much that it has become a good way for us to spend what she calls quality time together for a couple hours. Just so you know, every Wednesday I'll get a text from my girlfriend that says, don't forget tonight is Worried Face Wednesday. Keep up the good work. I like that.

The worried faces are good. That was such a good thing. It's so funny. Worried. Yeah. Why does your boy look worried? And that was first done by a couple of girls from McGavock High School on my senior trip to Panama City.

Yep. Look, they can see you now. I know. Maybe they're watching. Maybe they're watching. There's the guy. There's the guy. Do you think that those girls thought about that the next day?

Well, they called me that all weekend. Okay. Because I kept seeing them. Okay. Maybe like a week later. Do you think that they still think about it? I bet they still do. Did they know the impact that had on you?

I don't know that. They just love calling me worried. I mean, I think you would, but you probably look the same. Besides the hair, yes. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, like you would,

I mean, like you'd be like, oh, yeah. Yeah, I know that guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like you're losing weight. Are you losing weight? Yeah, I wish. Oh, thank you.

Thank you. You look good. A little less worried on the face. Yeah. Yeah. Look like you get some work done. Yeah. Bates would go get work. I wish you would be the one to go get work.

Like you just every week you sit at the end of the table. Yeah. And people are like, man, his lips are like just the collagen. Yeah. You're just doing like a lot of stuff like bates has got to keep up with the joneses yeah yeah great cheeks great cheeks uh jamie osbourne i saw nate knoxville amazing show hilariously though i'm sorry i'm trying to ask aaron if he has this picture did Did I send you this? Oh, yes. Okay.

Stuff we should have done probably. No. Privately. What are we, the Manning cast? Jamie Osborne. I saw Nate in Knoxville. Amazing show. Hilariously, though, I bought my tickets the minute they went on sale earlier in the year

and was so happy with my floor seats only to realize i accidentally bought four in a row one in front of the other instead of in a row together here's our memorable selfie we will laugh about this for a long time great show this is the family that's so funny that's awesome i wonder they switched or they they stay like that no he said he said he, I cut out a little bit, he said he tried to switch it and couldn't, so they just did it. That's so funny. They all just enjoyed the show by themselves. Although the guy in the front looks

a little bit like he's upset about it. Well, that's Jamie. Yeah, that's just the dad that bought the tickets. That's so funny, though. If you ever come to a Nate show, that's how you're going to come to the kids. Probably love it. Actually.

I would think the kids are like, this is the greatest thing. Right. You know, you're like, you can just, your, your parents are in front of you.

Yeah. And then, you know, you want to see, I think the fun part though is it, the fun part is laughing with each other, but it's yeah. But I mean,

that makes it the boy in the lab just start smoking a cigar. Yeah That's awesome. That makes me happy Connie decrescenzo I bet you would say that Connie the crescenzo the crescenzo the crescenzo the decrescenzo. The Crescenzo. The Crescenzo family.

Yeah. I woke up one morning after my husband had left for work. I walked out to the kitchen and found a puddle of water with a note next to it. The note said water. My dear husband spilled some water and then took me down and found a pen and piece of paper and scribbled the word water on it. When I questioned about it, he said he did it so that I wouldn't slip and fall. Isn't it sweet how much he loves me? That's a good guy right there.

Just letting them know. Just letting them know there's water. Also, don't be alarmed. It's not gasoline. It's just water. Just water. Yeah. So that she knows how to clean it up later yeah yeah yeah yeah this ain't this is a one-person job yeah it's

just regular water i'm not the person you are if you leave there long enough it's going to go away right oh eventually it'll evaporate seeps into the floorboards yeah yeah yeah why even do it why the rush doug venata venata i like that last name i would like to know everyone's opinion on hallmark hallmark movies my wife makes fun of me for liking them but i bet at least one of you is also a fan i talked to we talked about it i liked them well you talked about one of your area grievances was yeah uh the way the woman parked in that Hallmark movie. Yes. It was crazy. I've never seen that.

Yeah. This was the one where Cole was on with us. Yeah. And Sonny Gray came on later. But yeah, we had the video and a woman kind of parked in the middle of the street in this Hallmark movie. It just gets out of it. I watched the whole. That feels pretty realistic.

Yeah. Based on how my wife parks street in this Hallmark movie. It just gets out of it. I watched the whole. That feels pretty realistic. Yeah. Based on how my wife parks. I like Hallmark movies. I think they're very pleasant. I know they had something come up, some controversy, right, recently. Probably. They were showing a scene or probably something they should have, which is just something that doesn't make sense.

But, yeah, Hallmark movies are very, you know, probably something they should have which is just something that doesn't make sense like but uh yeah hallmark movies are very you know and i don't mean in a bad way it's a very simple thing to watch and it's you know it's a it's a it's like the opposite of the manning cast it's just very pleasant not everything needs to have the weight of the world yeah that's right that's why i mean i mean you could leave mean, you could leave, I think you could leave the Hallmark channel on your TV

just at all times and you would catch people really watching the whole thing and really getting invested because it's just great. My wife, like on a Saturday or something, she's doing stuff around the house.

She just has it on every story. The formula is kind of the same. So she can kind of tune in and out and kind of still know what's going on. Yeah. She watches Great American Family now. I think that's another Hallmark similar.

Yeah. I mean, anytime I saw it on, it's been hard for me to turn it off. Like you just end up going like, well, I want to see what happens. It's like a catchy pop song. Yes. There's nothing wrong with it. It is what it is pop song. Yes. There's nothing wrong with it. It is what it is. It's great.

It's fun to just enjoy. And it's nice to watch something that's like, they have crime movies? So many movies, man. I'm looking at these. I always just see the horror. Now they're getting into horror films. We're looking at a list of them now. These are movies and mysteries.

There's sub-genres, too. There's like Christmas Hallmark is a huge thing. Yeah, yeah thing yeah yeah yeah well i was joking about the horror that's from snl yeah but but yeah i i i don't mind them i always i always find myself just being like man this is nice it's a nice thing just to kind of yeah you just the that entertainment, like entertainment is so trying to be thought provoking now that it's like exhausting. And you want to go, when you watch a Hallmark movie, it's just telling a little story. You're going to have a fun time. Like, man, when you get done with it, you're like, I really enjoyed that. They get together always at the end, you know.

Yeah, it's going to be a happy ending. Yeah, it's just fun and pleasant it's nice and you know and it's uh and it looks good they always like you know they always look nice make small towns look good because yeah the bustling big city's not all it could out to be when the love of your life's in this small town right the local theater is about to close yeah i mean you can you can catch yourself just before you know it. You're like, man, I've watched a few of these because they just kind of keep going.

Like they're just into the next movie. And the next thing you know, you're like, I'm halfway in this movie. Yeah. I like, uh, Addison Huxley.

As a kid, my dad brought a, hold on. As a kid, my dad brought a drone to a party, then bragged about how it was $25 and just as good as the expensive ones. He then began to fly it directly into a jet stream that took the drone miles away. My dad then conducted a search party for all the people at the dinner party because he was unable to track his drone. After about 30 minutes of trespassing on their neighbor's land, we found it and celebrated.

You know what's crazy about me with this? It's an old story. As a kid, my dad brought a drone to a party. Well, a drone, you're like, have they been around that long?

Yeah, I feel like maybe 10 years. I mean, I could see it. Like, it's just, it's, yeah, it's funny to, you know, yeah, as a kid, I guess. Oh, look at that. They started at the same time did. 200 years ago. I mean, I think people just actively having drone sets have been that long. Yeah. Like the last 10 years.

Yeah. But I mean, so that means for her. Yeah, it would be like as a kid. I remember it just it's crazy to sometimes hear that stuff where you were like. That's a very funny story, though. That's a very funny story. Also, that it could get that high to where it's in the jet stream yeah you know i mean it's one thing yeah for 25 that's a pretty good one and i mean it's crazy to have found it yeah that's a fun dinner

party i bet all those people remember that dinner party for the rest of your life yeah you know yeah it just turns into the movie twister where they have like all the surveillance. Well, I guess the beginning of a Hallmark movie. She sent that. Yeah, that's true. She said that after Aaron talked about his drone, he said, those are the worst for people at the party. He's like, ooh, I can see your house. Yeah.

But she's saying that was a party to remember. That was a party to remember. Nick Lawton, how is the South represented in film and tv from your perspectives can y'all talk about any movies or shows that you've depicted the south really well and any shows that have completely missed the mark yeah i mean i think a lot of stuff misses the mark uh because a lot of times stuff's written by people that are not, they don't live here. Yeah. So dating bride does a good job. He lives in Charleston. That's all you got to do is you got to live there and be around regular

people. And that's the stuff where it gets missed. I don't think anything specifically. Even I was thinking like eastbound and down with Danny McBride. He is an over the top caricature of a Southern guy. Yeah, but it doesn't. But the setting around him is just normal. It's just like, it's very realistic.

Yeah, it feels very normal. Like, you know, trying to think of a Southern. Well, the guy who, I can't think of his name now, the actor, I think he was the quarterback in Friday night lights, the movie, Lucas black, Lucas black. He's from like,

I think Northern Alabama and his Southern accents authentic. So good. Yeah. Sling blade too. He's the kid in sling blade. I forgot about that. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Where, uh, you're like, well, that's authentic. And some of these are just bad.

So bad, dude. Yeah. Some, when they, you know, who is a bad one? I thought Brad Pitt had a good one.

And he's from Missouri. Well, I thought his like Inglorious Bastards that where he has that accent that he's supposed to be a guy from the Tennessee mountains. And that's unlike any Tennessee accent I've ever heard. It's also a guy from the 40s. So who knows how people talk back then? But I remember thinking he's great in spite of this accent. That was my opinion.

They say a lot of British actors end up sounding like they're from the 30s. They're trying to do American accents like, see? They end up in really kind of crazy. It's a whole thing. You're looking at me like it's not

thing it is no no i believe no i'm not yeah i know i believe uh lake beach i didn't like that kind of stereotype the south is just a bunch of guys you know you like i've never heard of lake beach now is it like deliverance yep not as similar yeah yeah yeah it Yeah. Not so much a movie, but I guess it was a TV. It was more of a TV series. Never heard of it. Really? Well, just you put in Lake Beach movie. That's probably not coming up.

You're talking about the SNL skit? Yeah. I was thinking in my head. I was like, are they talking about that? And no one else. Literally, I was like, maybe it is a show. I don't know. A movie. That's crazy. There's no movie Lake Beach. I was like, are they talking about that? And no one else, literally, I was like, maybe it is a show. I don't know.

A movie. That's crazy. There's no movie Lake Beach. That would be a good name for it. Come a movie. Sometimes SNL movies come out of a sketch. Yeah, well, you can tell that's written, you know, it was with James Austin Johnson.

It's written by someone that is from here. Yeah, yeah. And that's where it becomes really, really relatable. And then people are just like, yeah, I know exactly what that is from here. Yeah, yeah. And that's where it becomes really, really relatable. And then people are just like, yeah, I know exactly what that is. Yeah, I'm always sensitive to the South. I mean, I remember getting stuff, auditions with the South. And I just want to do them when you're just making the Southern guy look like what they think the South is. And you just are like it's just you know annoying

uh dan bean there's been a bit of a debate in our house for a while now and i'm hoping you guys can solve it we need to know the correct correct pronunciation of pecan thanks for your help on this very important topic i say pecan i say pecan This is one of those words It's talked about so often I don't know How I would just naturally say it Because I'm always thinking about how I pronounce it Caramel is the same way

Caramel I don't know how I say it Because I'm always thinking about it Pecan How do you say about it Pecan Pecan Yeah, how do you say it? Pecan So it's a regional thing That's not what you say

Pecan Pecan pie No, you don't say that I say it There's no way Why? Is that pecan pie? Say pecan Pecan

Say it pecan though I can't You can't even say it? Just say it as an actor This is actor Nick Pecan That's how you say it I would say pecan You're out even say it? Just say it as an actor. This is actor Nick. Pecan. That's how you say it. I would say pecan.

You're out of your mind. I would say pecan. Pecan pie. I've never, I would have, there have been a lot of jokes about it if I ever heard you say pecan. He's probably never said it. Yeah, it doesn't come up a lot where I'm like, hey, pecan. You love dessert. I do love dessert.

It comes up a lot. It's like a lactose-free pie. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well. Yeah, Nick's on. You love dessert. I do. It comes up a lot. It's like a lactose-free pie. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well. Yeah, Nick's on the hunt for dessert. If any dessert pops up, Nick would be like. Do you really say pecan?

I really say pecan. It's spelled that way, too. It's spelled pecan, too. You know, we're not making a crazy leap. But maybe people from the Northeast, that's where they. It's probably a regional thing like everything else. Yeah, pecan. People go to Rutgers.

That's how they say it. Yeah. Yeah. I've never even heard it said pecan. I mean, I think that's why he's saying that. I bet that was the debate in their house. Yeah. Yeah.

I've never even heard someone say that. Pecan pie. Pecan pie. You don't say that. I do say pecan. No, youcan pie. We don't say that. I do say pecan. Yeah. I say it. I believe you.

I don't believe you. Mandy McKnight. Nate, have you ever considered that your McDonald's obsession stems from your family and family friends making fun of you for not getting the happy meal as a kid? Now you feel the need to rebel and get as much Mickey D's as you can.

I'm sure BetterHelp would have more to say about this. Could be true, I guess. Yeah, I could see it. I mean, I think a lot of stuff is like when you grow up and you just, you know, it's like we just couldn't afford to do anything. And so it does make you want to be, well, I want to do everything now. And I want to be well i want to do everything now and i want to and then my taste are not high-end taste so i don't you know with food i don't we you know it's like we don't we just didn't eat you don't go eat these nice crazy meals and so my taste is just like for mcdon McDonald's or for that kind of stuff.

And now I can go get it whenever I want. Yeah, could be. That's all I ever wanted was to go get McDonald's. Eating inside of a theme park, I do think of that. Because we never could eat inside of it. We went to Kings Island. It's just so expensive. So now when I, I expensive. That's definitely something.

Now when I go, I want to spend money inside. I want to eat lunch inside that park. You have food delivered in? Yeah. If I go to the zoo for a day, I want to eat lunch there. I want to go eat, go sit at the table. I think of it because we just, it was never, we just couldn't afford it. Did I ever tell you about the guy who ordered Outback Steakhouse to his table at the Jacksonville Comedy Zone?

A guy ordered it on the app delivery to his table during a show. Wow. I'm in the lobby setting up my little merch stand and the outback delivery guy walks in and he goes is there a show going on i was like yeah and he goes i'm supposed to bring it to table he got instruction he brought it in somebody got out back to the table wow who was on stage henry cho oh henry's saying no i told him about it afterwards though he's like oh man i would have loved to i would have loved to have known that was going on. There must've been food at the club,

right? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. And he might've just been like, there's, it's not good food.

Yeah. I want a steak and a blooming onion. Yeah. That's power. Yeah. That's confidence. Because they have burgers at every comedy club. Yeah.

Chicken fingers. And they got everything you need for like to watch a show. Yeah. Yeah. That's like an oblivious confidence to go to do something like that. How do you feel? Yeah. That's like,

I don't know how someone could feel comfortable. I felt bad for the delivery guy. Cause I go, well, then you got to go in the showroom. Yeah. And there's a show going on. He had to walk in with a big bag of stuff. Yeah guess they just the club let him in the inside i guess so well no one was

it was just you it was just me in the lobby i'd just gotten off stage yeah yeah crazy was he was he i mean he's sitting up front or something he couldn't have been i feel like if he were up front henry would have seen, Oh my God. Henry would have, how did he find the guy? I guess. I don't know. I think there were instructions in the app.

You can tell them how to get there. I wish Henry had declined that. Can they go like, I mean, cause you know, I feel like they don't get to see what they're getting to do, but can, uh,

can the guy go, I'm not doing that. Like, I don't mind delivering it to the club. I'm not giving it. I'm not bringing it to the show. Yeah. And look like a lunatic. Because, I mean, he looks like, you know. Unless you walk in and you go, I don't know what to say.

This guy's got a problem. That's the crazy thing, too, because you just put the address in. So he probably didn't say comedy club. It's just the address. And he sees the address. And then he's got to walk in and be like. He ordered that while Aaron was on stage. Probably.

That's true. This is so boring. Let me just get me some at least good food. Ethan Goodman. is so boring let me just get me some at least good food ethan goodman in my government class i'm teaching about the powers of congress and among them are to fix the standard of weights and measures in order to demonstrate what that means i use nate's snl sketch to illustrate the point now if nate could just go back to do a sketch on dead weight loss dead weight loss for my ap economics class that would be great i don't know what dead weight dead weight loss is a cost to society created by market inefficiency which occurs when supply and demand are out of

equilibrium so there you go. Sounds like an easy bet. Check it out. When he got, when he ordered too many t-shirts for merch and nobody wants to buy them. Maybe. Yeah. Well, or in my case, well,

that too, but is that, is that an actual example of it? I think that might be a good one. Or like, I got a ton of CDs still left at my house that obviously I ordered more than people wanted. Cause now I know about even dust CDs. It sounds like something like that.

Maybe the government spends a lot of money on something in the budget more than they needed. I bought, I printed posters to sell after the show and only tried to sell it one show. And I didn't sell any and I just gave up. There's just 150. I'd like one. I'll give you one. I'll give you one. Did you see where I think it's crack.com

that sketches the top sketch of the year? They rank the top 23 comedy sketches of 2023. Look at that. All right. Could you, could understand stand up Nick.

Understated. Understated stand up Nick Bargetzi. Could understand stand up Nick Bargetzi make the transition to full blown sketch comedy. Yeah. Shades of early Bob Newhart. How about that? That's nice. They got his name,

right? Yeah. This is what I, and this is, this is the, what I mean about even with the Manning thing, no matter what, no matter what you think you are or whatever you do, you're still Nick Barguzzi.

And it's like that's what I would tell everyone. Even when you're number one on the list. Even when you're number one on the list, I would tell every comic that you're still going to be Nick Barguzzi. You're just, you're always going to be Nick Barguzzi. people, you know, it's whatever you do, how much you,

you know, you got to just put in the work and, and you just know you're doing a good job and know, like keep moving forward and keep plugging away, but it just doesn't matter. It can go into that high of a thing to be, you know, your number one, a host SNL as a comic,

like all this stuff, you know, your number one, a host at SNL as a comic, like all this stuff, you know, and then just be like, and they're like, yeah, dude, you stole the whole season with how great you were, Nick. You're always, you're just always going to be, no one cares. And you just got to go and you're doing it for the audience. The audience is what cares. I mean, it's a very, the guy obviously cares, but it for the audience the audience is what cares i mean it's a very nice the guy obviously cares but it's like yeah that's what i mean like they don't yeah i think it's a good name you know yeah i've been nick a bunch take that k off right

i go by mick you know that's true you're mick yeah yeah from the podcast fans of the podcast of being like people will say mick and i'm like okay i know yeah and then also it's still happens because i say my name and people hear mick yeah yeah i would say any comics listening this too like it's you got to remember that's still it just no one knows what you do like i think comics think when they put out a cd and then they think i gotta come up with a new one and all this stuff and you're like no one's what you do. Like I think comics thing when they put out a CD and then they think I got to come up with a new one and all this stuff. And you're like,

no one's heard your CD. When you go do it, when you go do a show, a local show, no one's heard your set. Go murder on that show. You think, well,

I mean, you know, these comics in the back of the room were there last week. Just destroy for the audience. Just do everything for the audience. If it's all comments and you're open mics, I understand that you're kind of like trying to come up with some new jokes and open mics to say, but even the open mics, no one remembers what you said last week. They don't,

they just can't, they can't remember it. They don't remember it. They don't remember anything. And it's, you know, and so there's a lot of times you can, instead of sitting and trying to learn how to make something great, it's like, you're just doing kind of a quantity over quality thing. And you're just trying to pump out a bunch of stuff. Nobody knows what you have done at all. I could probably go do a lot of, I mean, the people that are real fans and following for a long time. I mean, you know, I've had it where I've closed on my baseball, the third, the triple, a home run off and inside the park. I've closed on that in arenas and it destroys. And yeah, I would say some people know that that's a joke from full-time magic.

Most people, they've never heard me tell that joke. I would say a good majority of them, I don't know, because it's just an old kind of thing. You can't be offended by that. You know, it's like, that's just how it is. It's like, why would they know everything, you know? Yeah. And so, yeah.

All right. Yeah. Manning cast. I feel like you've been doing, uh, great for so long. Cause you have, but it's when I see these comments, a lot of times people say, I learned about Nate after the Tennessee kid,

or even sometimes even later than that. Oh, a lot of SNL was. Yeah. And it's just amazing. I've never seen this guy, but, uh,

you know, it's, yeah, it's, it's, you know, that's the, and that's the interesting part is because you can

be you know i mean like i said we're going to do the tickets i know i talked about last week but it's like you can be selling 50 000 tickets and then you just can have that person write that article and then they're just like and they go nick bargetts and they would be like they probably like i'm a big fan yeah and i'm not And I'm not mad at that guy for doing that. Of course not. It's like whatever reason they just thought, you know, it was Nick or, you know, just whatever. But, yeah, it just doesn't matter. That's like you go do that mannequin.

Yeah, they don't know. They don't know what I do. They don't know at all. They know he hosted SNL. He got probably told, told you know their producers like yo this guy's kind of hot right now he's snl he did game day like he'd be fun to have on they have me they don't know who i am they don't know anything they readings you know and so then it and you so that but that's the part that's my fault that I got to go. I got to be like, all right, they don't know me at all.

I need to be really in control of this interview because I know they don't. And I wasn't. And then that's why it ends up not being as good. The other thing I've noticed is how quickly people, it, they just, they've gotten, not gotten over how big you've gotten, but it's just so hard to, after SNL, which impressed everybody, like you done game day,

which was a huge deal to me. You did, uh, the Manning cast was huge deal. And I'll tell my friends and they're like, oh, that's cool. Like to me,

I'm like, why wouldn't everybody watch this? But they just quickly, like you get to a certain status and it takes so much to impress people yeah well that's the and that's my idea with when you're creating if you're creating stuff small like that's the online stuff so when you're seeing comics do like all these like uh the crowd work stuff like that you're creating these small things that

everybody's like oh yeah i saw that one i've seen a bunch of those and i like that person and it's funny but it's it's not a substantial kind of thing that they can go back to like the specials i people can go back to them they can watch them they can go back to them they can do this a podcast essentially they could probably go back to and all i was thinking about it today like you know we do the best of every year like people really like that and they look forward to that and you're kind of like a tv show that's like you know what you're just doing you know you're putting it in and the best of and people go through it and they just enjoy it and that's why creating something is is you want it to be substantial and you want it to be able to stand.

That's the goal with Dateland is to be able to eventually create all this stuff with content and whatever. That's, you know, some of it. I don't really know what it's going to end up being, but it's it's you just don't put so much effort into. It takes a lot of effort to create something. And when you're creating something that's just going to get scrolled by for two seconds, I don't know if that's worth your time. That's, that's because then it's when they come see you, it's like when they come finally go like, all right, I've been scrolling. I'm in, what do you got? And then a lot of times people don't have a ton to put behind it because they because that takes too much effort to put do that stuff yeah and so you're not doing

this you know i thought another thing tell you if you're young comics because a big thing is like a lot of people say what do you got to do first when you do comedy like start a show run a show i disagree with that you If you learn how, if you, if your first thing as a comic is really learning how to run a show and trying to get people into a show, that's not a, I just don't think it's, it depending on what you want to do. But if you're looking to be a straight up standup comedian, I don't think that's a good path to go down. a straight up standup comedian, I don't think that's a good path to go down. I don't think it builds the right, you went at the beginning, you need to be so absorbing and you don't need to be the star of something. And you're kind of the star of something because you're the star of a show,

even though it's a very small scale, but you now move up from no one knows you to like now every comic's like well we got to get on that show and then you got to run that show so you got to probably host that show it just builds you have a lot more stuff to build some bad habits comes from that you got the pressure of every week like i gotta go get all these people to come into this show. I got to book all these comics. I don't think that provides you. If you're at the beginning, that shouldn't be your first. It guarantees you stage time. That's why people do that.

I don't think it's good stage time. I don't think it's the best stage time for you. And you should figure out how to get on other people's shows. That's the part. I understand the entrepreneur part of it to be like, go create. And that's like, you need to be able to work within a system. There's a giant system, right? So wherever I'm at in my career, I can think I'm the biggest person wherever. And then I go do main and cast. Nobody knows who I am. I do SNL. and then i go do man and cast nobody knows who i am i do snl no one knows right so you got to learn that like you go oh okay like i think i'm could be something but i there's no i can't have an ego in this because i there's another level where i am just they're like who who are you i mean i

see these arenas i see names that i don't know who they are and the guy's doing two shows too and you're like well i've never even heard of that guy well he's doing two arenas like it doesn't mean you know it's like so if i want to go farther then i have to understand that i have to go work and i gotta build my thing and i'm realizing like look i i have this thing but you know it's like yeah if i did a tv show or a movie, just like SNL, you get a little more into that mainstream and a little more into that celebrity kind of thing or whatever, which I might need to do for if I want to rise everything up. I still have ways to go that I need to do this so I can then pull other things up because it's hard to do it. It's a matter of like, how do you want to do it? And I think when comics, so when you start out, you know, I understand that you're in cities, maybe you're in a town that doesn't have anything.

Like I understand you might have to do it in those situations.'m not there's either right or wrong way but uh i i you know if you're gonna move to a town that has some you could you know if you have to start a show in a small town because you literally there's nothing to do i understand that but you then eventually need to move somewhere don't just sit there and start a show maybe that's what i'm saying don't sit and start a show then just like what i'm saying don't sit and start a show then just like that's your life start it for however long you got to start it and then you need to go try to get on other people's shows and you shouldn't be getting on the shows just because you're giving each other stage time because that's not an honest trade it's not a you're not getting

something out of your pure talent so then if you get that you're not getting something out of your pure talent. So then if you get that, you're never having to work on your pure talent. Cause you're not getting it. That that's, you're not, you know, no one's like, well,

I got to have this guy on the show. Cause he murders. I got to have this guy on the show because he has another show. And I do his show. New York started becoming when I, right before I left, it was becoming that a lot where it was like, you know, everybody's getting on these shows. Spot trading, it's called.

Yeah. Yeah. So everybody's, and so it's pretty hard to get on shows. Because if you're not in that system and running a show, well, then you're out of the system. And so the other comics don't get up, you know. And they start their own shows. I mean, essentially, but then it doesn't do, I mean, that's not helping anybody. It can seem like it because you're getting stage time, but that's how stage time, if the stage time is not earned, then you're not going to go be very precious about that stage time.

And you need to be precious. Like when you're on stage in front of an audience, I don't care if it's six people, you should be trying to do the best job for those six people. And if you're getting on stage easily because you're just trading off shows, that stage is not as precious as it should be in your head. And then you just go. That's the problem with the crowd work stuff. They're having to shoot a bunch of stuff to get these clips. The crowd work, no one can just be, I mean, Ian Bagg does a great job of it because he's been doing it for years.

And I would say, so like Ian Bagg does all crowd work, and I believe that Ian Bagg does a great job with, Steve Byrne does it too. We just went Steve Byrne. When you watch Steve Byrne's show with crowd work, he's destroying the whole, he goes back and forth. He has been doing comedy for over 20 years. Both of them have. So they know how to be on stage and all that and to carry a show.

And the younger is, and I'm not talking about anybody specifically. This is just a vibe of comedy, the way it's going. But the younger way is, they haven't been on stage that long they haven't been doing comedy you can think you're doing comedy eight years that's nothing that's nothing i promise you it's nothing it's a lot for where you're at right now but you're nowhere i'm at 20 years i'm nowhere guys have been doing it for 45 years you guys have been i mean i'm not saying i'm nowhere but it's like you know what i mean like but it's it's i'm still learning i'm still having to go when i I go on stage, I still have to learn

every night. That's why I'm so excited about it. Cause now I'm like trying to be like, all right, well, how do I go to a newer level? How do I keep like going forward? That's the fun part of, you know, and with comedy, you can do this for as long as you can do it until you feel satisfied until you go you know what um maybe you get older and you just go like it's a lot it's hard but you've always loved comedy too yeah doing it watching it everything about it i mean who would watch these comics you know bill burr chapelle and and I feel like you've always loved it. I've loved it. Well, I think it's just such a fun. It's just, I mean, man, it's, I mean, making that many people laugh and, you know, and doing it in a, you got to create that world.

And so the whole time you're, it's, it's, you're basically making a movie that takes 20 years to make. So when people go watch you, I got to figure out who I am as a character and I got to not as a character, I'm myself, but you know, it's like getting my groove and, uh, you know, tell these stories and building this world. And this new hour is like very fun. Cause it all kind of blends, you know, I'm trying to, you know, and I want to be murdered.

I want people to be like their, their stomach hurts, they're laughing sore. And it's, you know, consistent and you, I think you can, that's very fun and exciting to do. And it takes a long time to build up to that. And if you have an act, if you can, I, and then when I, I just being around the older comics, there's, there's a lot of older comics that maybe people are not where they want to be, or they thought that their careers could have been, but the ones that have an act, you will be able to do comedy the rest

of your life because you have something that you can sit on and rely on. And so if you get, need to be hired for a cruise ship or a corporate gig, or if anything, to be hired for a cruise ship or a corporate gig or anything, you know, I have, I'm sitting on a house that is built a solid house. Right. I know this house over here looks fun and flashy and that's the parties at that house and everything's fun at that house. Yeah. That house can't stand forever.

There's black mold. There's, yeah, it's built on glass. It's built on, but if you just sit in the weeds of it and just my house is going to be built on concrete and it's not going to go away. It's not as the ride will be as the ride is funner than you ever can imagine it can be. It just is not going to be as fast. And so like that's the thing is when you're a young comic, it's when you go on that stage, every time you go on that stage, that really, that is, you should, that matters. It's not always going to be great. It's not always going to be fun. It's not

going to go good, but you should be on it so much. And you should be, when you get done, you know, it's like, all right, all right i'll try this joke out and you go okay i know what this did this didn't work all right all right let me mess with let me think about that joke and then you just think about it and just think about what can i do can i put it it's not like i'm even i don't ever sit down and write you just you but i mean i think of 24 hours you just kind of going i just that's why I can't remember my old jokes because when I'm in the new jokes is like, I'm thinking about this set and whatever. If you're a young comic, try to build a tonight show set. That's almost a good, even if you're starting, if you're starting, that's probably the best thing. Just picture you're, if you're

starting from zero, you might not get this. You might never be on tonight show or you might be on it in five years or you might be, but have build a set for a five minute set. Think about that. And that gives you direction to go like, all right, if you got asked to do the tonight show, what set would you do?

And even if you have an hour of material, you think you have an hour material. And I said, you got to do five minutes. What are you going to do? How are you going to do that? How are you going to, because you know, do you have jokes in your head that you, you would go, oh, I'm, yeah, I would do this one, that one. And so you would easily pull stuff. Yeah.

Well then what does that say about all those other jokes? That means those other jokes maybe need some work, you know, and they might not fit for whatever reason and they might be too long. There could be a million things. But, you know, it was interesting this hour. I closed on three different. I've closed on three different jokes a few times. And it's been kind of fun to do that because it's now I'm like, oh, wow, I have three jokes in this hour that have closing energy because I've had to close.

Yeah. Put a joke at the I've had to close them. Yeah, yeah. Put a joke at the end and have to close on it. You're going to find some real, I mean, you know, yeah, it's real. Try to, like, you know, it's hard. I mean, I did a video of it. I messed up where I thought I could close on a new thing, and it didn't go good, and I had to do an old joke.

Try to close on a joke. It's interesting. We can skip that last question and get into it. I'll put it in a future episode. You want to tell us about AG1? AG1. I've been, you know,

this has been a been I'm sorry huh yeah you're good just go ahead yeah yeah just get out of here see you Nick drinking too much

AG1 Festivus is not over let's rumble that's different than the one is that the same thing I guess every button has different yeah if you're a big forever got into comedy from the get-go you know uh the bargett sees

you know we're not the easiest family just to jump in with baits yeah it's a lot we are a lot and she's always uh she's done it she's been there you know she's a wonderful wife wonderful mother and uh yeah and as to like lets me you know i get fired up about something like that manning cast don't worry she's already heard everything imagine you listen to that many guests that's if you want to be like, what being married to Nate's like, you have that Manning cast, but you have it at 12 at midnight. And I'm like, oh, I wake up. I'm so upset about this thing, and I can't let it go.

That's what it is, being married. But I'm fortunate and happy birthday to you. I mean, I feel that way about my wife because of the Bargatzis. I've said that before. The first time I ever told my wife I loved her was after leaving a Bargatzi family party because she hung in there and I'm like, you can do that. You're the one.

Yeah. Welcome to the show. Well, this week we're talking about Christmas traditions. It's our Christmas episode. It's also Festivus, of course. Happy Festivus, everyone. Happy Festivus.

Now, I told Nick, I said, we're going to do a Christmas Tradition episode. He's like, you know, I've been in a lot of Christmas movies. So I went on last night doing some searching. And I didn't want to stereotype, but when I was going through the scenes, you know, I tended to stop on the Christmas. He didn't tell me what role he was playing, but I kind of had a vibe, maybe what he was doing. So that's the only one I could actually find. Yeah.

So I had that hair. I know that hair. I used to have long hair. So I've been in the Santa buddies trilogy. Yeah. So three movies that play all the time during freeform so yeah i mean i get recognized all the time from being in these movies kids see them all the time they're fun i played an elf but it was a fun but this is like right now is a hot season for you you're just on tv

literally if you watch freeform the countdown to christmas i am on all the time you should have been on the main cast they probably know you the funny thing too about it too is if you look at what's airing on freeform right i mean year if you look up santa buddies search for santa paul santa paul's twos you know i'm on puppy star christmas you know netflix it doesn't like all over disney plus all these things but you know i had such a great time doing these movies these movies it's like Hallmark movies. There's always like, there's similar themes that end up happening.

We need to save Christmas. There's a Christmas icicle. We've got to protect and Santa Claus. And I'm always like the sort of the Lieutenant. I'm like right away, boss, I got your boss. I'm like the,

you know, and just all of that. But you know what? We had such a great time with Charlie's movies in Vancouver. There was a community too, of other elves. So there was like subculture. And I think some of these guys were kind of mad that I got flown into Canada and I had like a featured role. Yeah.

Because we're all like kind of become friends and like family. But it is kind of you're separated. Like you remember from from SNL, you know, you're they just have to do it's part of the union. So they call you in first team coming in. And then all of a sudden, you know, people are kind of like, who is this guy? Just coming in to say these lines, coming in late. And it was, you know, there's subcultures too. There was one elf that literally we call the Marlboro elf.

Cause every time we would yell cut, you know, he would just be smoking cigarettes. And he had his you know it was like real bad santa yeah what's for dinner today you know he had the great smoker voice but he smoked inside uh it was like he would smoke outside but the smoke would come inside yeah and then it would be you know because there's always mist and all that stuff but i i had so much fun doing those movies yeah it's great that's awesome and they just stay they stay forever. And you know what?

Kids love it. You know, just like what we were saying too about, you know, everything doesn't have to solve a problem. These are just fun, easy movies. You know, there's Santa Claus. I'm going to throw a couple lines in, you know, here or there. And honestly, the dogs are the stars of the movie. Everybody else is kind of background.

The dogs talk, you know, Air airbud franchise and they play in every country because of that they can these dogs are the biggest divas i've read about they're what's what's wild too is certain dogs they're the best trained dogs in the world so literally you're talking about giant sound stages where they film you know big, things like that. You could, this one dog knows how to hit its mark about a mile away. We'll run and just turn around and flip and just go and just bark on camera. And then they CGI his mouth. And I was like, man, I'm like, I don't know where I'm going. You know, my eyesight's terrible. I'm trying to hit a mark. So I'm like, yeah, where is that mark? Where is it? This dog is like a mile and a half and just knows exactly where to be.

How close are you to a mark before you see it? You know, I never see it. I just hope I'm in that ballpark. I just hope that, you know, speaking to Christmas traditions, you know, I stayed at Nate's last night. And his neighborhood has great, you know, lights everywhere. And so I was like, Hey, I want to take a little bike ride. I want to roll around the neighborhood. Cause I bring my bike with me while I'm on tour. Cause the arenas are giant. It's just hard for me to get around. So I went for a little ride around the neighborhood. I wanted to see the lights and I I it was freezing last night. So I have my jacket on. And I have just the hood on too, because my ears are cold. And I'm just riding my bike in

the neighborhood. And I hear this car going really fast. So I just kind of moved to the right. And it slows down a little bit. And so now I'm just like, let me just get off the bike. And the lady is now she's still pulling up closer and closer and she just goes are you all right and she thought i was a kid you know because of like the setup and everything and i just turned around i'm like i'm fine you know i mean i didn't say like i just was like i'm good you know but she like she was so shocked uh-huh and like, hey, like I'm going to just hide and never see this guy again. She pulls into the neighborhood. Yeah.

And it's like, I'm going to see her at some point. You know, and I was like, look, it's fine. You know, I'm I'm not awkward about it, but I couldn't stop laughing because I was like, it's so funny. And I did it to myself. Yeah. Yeah. I have the hood on. I'm in this.

You know, my bicycle has high handlebars. Yeah. I mean, it look, you know, I get it. It's not like a crazy thing. It's very sweet. I check on you. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm good. Yeah. I'm good. Don't worry about it. Smoking a cigarette. You have a cigarette? I just turned into Marlboro Elf. Yeah.

I'm good, sweetheart. How are you doing? How are you doing? Toots. Yeah. Yeah. You just take it. That's Seinfeld when he goes when uh mickey yeah mickey lays in the van good night danny woodburn is also in all that you know

santa buddies trilogy yeah you're friends with him he's one of my best friends and we've filmed so many times together yeah yeah that's fun yeah now were you on some snls too i did i tried to find it because peacock has all the snls elijah woods yeah so actually and jimmy fallon is how i got into screen actors guild so i was in a sketch where uh it was called top of the morning to you and jimmy fallon plays an irish guy with somebody else and they go top of the morning to you top of the morning to you and there's a point where they go, whatever you do, don't call Alfie over there, a leprechaun. And I'm just drinking a beer in the bar. And they're just like, maybe, you know, like, I'd be sensitive to it. And they're like, you could just be mad about it while you're

drinking the beer. Now, this is the first time I've ever done anything. So I am so fired up about this. I'm like, this moment needs to change my life. All right. So now they're like, whatever you do, don't call outfit leprechaun. And I got the beer in my mouth. I go, I just spit it. You know, it hits Jimmy in the face. It hits all these things. He starts laughing.

It gets like a huge moment. But now they all have beer on them. And it's like completely not what you're supposed to be doing in the scene. And they were like this is a rehearsal this was that yeah the one right before the dress rehearsal so uh they go that was great uh just don't spit on anybody uh is this it it's uh i think so yeah i don't know top of the morning to you there's a there's a moment no i mean i think they're just they're i'll keep looking yeah yeah don't worry about it there's it's selma hayek was the was the host um well the one that i found well i didn't i couldn't find the clip but did you do one where

elijah woods was the was the host i did like four um but i a lot of times you know they would do like pre-tapes and i got cut out of a couple of them so jimmy asked actually had me come back to the next year to do another and i was so excited and i was gonna have a line they cut it and i didn't you know what uh how much what is what have you been cut out of that's like was there anything crazy that you're uh well i've been yeah i mean i was supposed to be in a movie like uh that it was going to be kate hudson and like i hired to be in it i remember this and then literally i'm like telling everybody i tell my mom she's like crying she's like i'm so proud so before i even go they

replaced me and peter dinklage ends up playing that part yeah so like things like that game of thrones yeah it's a game of thrones uh i think it was called a little bit of heaven yeah and i don't even know i think they changed the title yeah but uh yeah no so i've had a bunch of stuff like it but the crazier thing is i've been in certain tv shows and you do all these different extra bits and they're like we're keeping all that and and you start telling people you put it online and everything's gone and there's just you're just like what's up and that's all that's just because there's timing and everything too just like all goes back to the manning cast you never know you're part of it unless it's you're the main

character you're part of that scene for other people. So you have to keep the storyline going. So that's the kind of wild thing too, is that you just never know what you're going to get cut out of. Yeah. And you, I mean, it really even could be something great, but it doesn't matter. It's like, well, we have to cut, you know, SNL is like that. I mean, SNL was, you could have a sketch. It's like, well, this is a funny sketch. And you're like, it just doesn't fit with what we're trying to do right now. And so it's just not going to happen. Or if you just end up looking too much like somebody else, there's certain parts to where it's like that, you know, if you if there's already somebody that looks exactly like you,

even with little people and certain things like, they're just like, we already have somebody that looks like that. I'm like, I'm three foot 10. Yeah. You're like, yeah, but we already got somebody three eleven. And you're like, ah. Yeah, unfortunately, Peacock doesn't put the whole episode on there. Because the ones I saw. Oh, you already looked through it. Not that episode, but I looked through the other one with Lodge of Woods.

And that particular sketch didn't look like it made it. Oh, bummer. That is a bummer. Yeah. I mean, I just saw you go through it. Yeah. Seen him get cut real a ton. Yeah, yeah, yeah. particular sketch what didn't look like it made it oh bummer that is a bummer yeah i mean i just saw you go through it and i've seen him get cut real a ton yeah yeah yeah cut out of this episode but i went down a real no nick novicki rabbit hole last night i was up so late working on this but i kept watching his clips he's got some impressive stuff like from boardwalk empire and yeah there's

one scene where you're killing a guy just stabbing him. One scene where you got shot by a gun. Yeah. It's got some rage. I've been murdered, you know. I've killed, you know, I've done it all. Done it all. Yeah. Yeah.

That's awesome. Are you disappointed when you realize you're being killed? No, because I think it's like, you know, you kind of want like a memorable thing, you know. Yeah. I think. It means you're done. Yeah. I yeah i mean honestly i wish i got killed on boardwalk empire that'd be awesome to be like you know instead you're just like yeah we're just not gonna at one time i was supposed to be shot in it and i was so excited and then they're like hey we're gonna have to cut that you getting shot thing i'm like gosh you know because it's like it would

have been fun you know yeah and that but that's the kind of crazy thing too because you're always you're always still doing other stuff you know at the same time so you have other jobs you have other things i've had the craziest jobs you know in the world throughout all of this and it's fine you know you're just always in that spot. Yeah. All right. So Christmas, um, are you guys gift wise Christmas morning, Christmas night, Christmas Eve? What do we do? Uh, I feel like I asked this before, but are we do Santa to Santa? Yeah. I think every time. Like three years ago.

Yeah. We have, you know, Santa does something different for everybody. Uh, Santa brings, would always bring us three presents unwrapped and we would see those and then we would do we do the wrapped presents from family later like after breakfast was there any semblance behind the three presents i just something y'all came up with i was like is it like the wise man or something no i don't know just what santa but that was all christmas morning yeah yeah and then later sometimes you yeah yeah yeah it's always christmas yeah and then later or something. No, I don't know. Just what Santa does. But that was all Christmas morning. Yeah. Yeah. And then later.

Sometimes you, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's always Christmas. Yeah. And then later that day you unwrap from family. Yeah. Yeah.

We would do, we'd open one present Christmas Eve. We get to pick it. Yeah. Oh, we do that, but it'd always be a game. Oh,

okay. Yeah. We would just go whatever, whatever you're most excited about. That's the one you want to open Christmas Eve. And that was probably just to my parents to just get us to stop yeah yeah yapping you know but then yeah christmas morning is when we go to mass christmas morning i think well when will we go to church we go to church at some point when the kids got older we go to midnight mass mass get a church at midnight but

i know we weren't doing that when we were kids maybe we open up presents early enough and then go to church later yeah but i don't remember i don't have memories you're not that old you should be able to remember this i know but i don't remember like five years ago maybe it's a reflection to me but i don't remember church being a big part of my christmas mornings yeah and i feel like we just was midnight mass though? Cause you got to stay up so late. Even if it was mass or at least you're getting to. I've never really had fun at mass to be honest with you. That's not what it's about,

but I don't, I don't know. By the time you're old enough to be brought, you're not like, this is cool. You're like, I'd rather be at home. The spirit of Christmas over here.

Yeah. That's what it's all about. He's like, I'm just in it for the toys. Mr. Scrooge. What about you, Nick? We would do Christmas. We'd be big Christmas Eve party.

My mom would throw. Yeah. And so we would have like a whole, you know, party where there's like little gifts that we give. And there's like, you know, swimming shoes that are like dirty that end up everybody wants to re-gift it because that's like the fun prank gift. And then everybody actually smokes cigars after too oh yeah that's like my my great-grandfather smoked cigars too was 104 wow so it was like a tradition i got to smoke a cigar when i was like 13 yeah like is this a good idea i was like poppy smoked it you know yeah yeah so but we ever spoke with him uh no i wish he he died when i was like 12 but it's pretty crazy yeah you know he literally was born i think in 1880s

yeah 60 years after noah 60 yeah noah was yeah 60 years old Yeah The National Not Noah's The National Oceanic Atmospheric Association Yeah

Just They got started So he would have been He would have been He'd go Yeah they've been around For a long time Yeah

He would have said that Yeah Well they did a poll Of American families 18% Open on Christmas Eve 31% He would have said that at some point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, they did a poll of American families. 18% open on Christmas Eve. 31% before breakfast. There's 16% after breakfast.

Dude, imagine having kids and you wake up and they run down to the presents and you go, nope, we're going to eat breakfast first. Yeah. It probably breaks down. Yeah, we would do it, but that's why we would use Santa breakfast first. Yeah. That's probably, it probably breaks down. Yeah, we would do it, but that's all we, we, we would use Santa's toys. Yeah. And then Santa's toys would be unwrapped so you can play with it. Then the other ones you do it later. But Christmas Eve, who's opening on Christmas Eve? Yeah, that's, that's pretty bizarre.

Yeah. Yeah. I feel like I'm having flashbacks. I feel like I remember you saying this three years ago. You're very consistent. Oh yeah. That's how my mom's family did it growing up. my mom's family santa claus would come on christmas eve yeah and then they'd open the presents christmas eve and then christmas day itself

was all about church yeah so the presents and everything was the day before i don't know if that's what 18 i mean it's a fifth of people do that. That's a lot to throw on Santa. It depends. I know, right? Santa's got 18% of people that he's like, oh, golly. Can we get him a day early? That's true. I feel like this poll also depends on how old your kids are.

Because all the presents are right away in the morning. It's tough to get a six-year-old hey just wait we we got this ham we're gonna make it's gonna be three hours yeah i think aaron just made that point nick yeah i mean the day before so i feel like i'm going this spirit of christmas over here yeah yeah was there structure to you guys opening presents as kids or was it just chaos everybody i think we did is you do one at a time and you go like ascending we do that now so i think so surprise me i feel like the bargatzis would be chaos we're chaos uh but now it's uh now you know so we do the kids right now it's

i mean i'm going off now yeah i can't can't really remember, but it's like, we would do it. Yeah. You just go in an order and everybody, you know, it's like, I think we would do youngest. So you do youngest to oldest kid. Yeah. And then, but it's like one present at a time and the whole family's watching it happen. Right. I remember watching a Christmas story as a kid and they wake up,

they run downstairs and it's just, they're just going at it. You're like, what family operates like that? Maybe some, I don't know. I've never seen one like that. Would your dad also

have a lot of Santa? Like, I feel like your dad also theatrical, you know, like elements or no? With Santa? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. I mean, I don't, you know santa santa come drop yeah yeah because i think your sister was telling me that too like there would be like lights and you know

santa would you know there was a lot going on yeah yeah did you ever get a or ever wish you got electric e-bike oh man and thankfully I don't need to wish this year. Cause I have one. Are you looking for the best gift ever this holiday? Electric e-bikes will impress even the hardest person to shop for. There are lots of e-bikes to choose from, but there's only one electric e-bike. It's the best selling e-bike in America.

And for good reason, starting at just seven 99, these e-bikes are affordable. Plus you can get hundreds of dollars in free accessories when you purchase this holiday season at l-e-c-t-r is that i remember it was a problem it's the vibe you're dripping out now wait what do you mean is this you know fake the fake least amount of work yeah we ain't gonna do that no i gotta do it well now yeah now you can do it where i mean it always has lights on it and everything we have that now oh isn't that part of the fun is decorating it together as a family yeah you decorate with ornaments

the lights are just already kind of i thought the lights is part of it too it it was but it's just yeah it's a lot we had uh we had a real tree when we were growing up my brother had asthma so they had to take down the tree like the night before christmas he had like an asthma so we went like regular you get a reaction traumatizing before christmas christmas is canceled you were the Festivus. I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one I had. But so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way. Out of that, a new holiday was born.

A Festivus for the rest of us. There it is. Yeah. It must have been some doll she was. Yeah. It must have been some doll. She was. So I think I was about to ask you something. So you removed the tree on Christmas Eve. So it had to get removed.

My brother's seven years older, so I was really young. But, you know, apparently I was upset about it. From the tree? From the regular tree. So then we went back to artificial. So now I'm like, I get a real tree every year. Oh, you do? Yeah, I do.

I love it. I go pick it out. Just so your brother can't come over. Yeah. My brother. You can't go. It's the best, though, to pick out a tree. Go to a tree farm?

Go to a tree. Like basically a parking lot that has trees. I live in L.A. It would be like quite a commute but uh it's awesome you pick it out and you're you have to just look at each tree and be like does this one look like it's gonna die before this one i have to ask them you know and charlie brown they're all great that one not so much though and is there no party that wants to get kind of the beaten down one and just go let's get this yeah charlie brown yeah there's none of that one there's none of that

in you it's also very funny too because it goes by if it's five foot or under it's a certain price but if it's so you know you're tipping the the guys to be like that one's about four or seven right and i'm three ten it's like it's so much bigger than me i'm like no no no because if you tip them and they all know me too from the year before i'm a good tipper and so you know it's i got a whole thing what did you give them 20 bucks yeah but no that's good on a 60 tree you know that's a giant tip i didn't i didn't know if you're like you know you're like it's a couple bucks yeah because you give them two dollars to go i think there's trees 411 now load it up for me they gotta do a little bit more work for me than they do for other people too because they're carrying the tree they're putting it in the car you know how do you get it

in we just throw it in so it's like sticking out you know i know but how do you get in your house somebody else off the street you know bring them in yeah a neighbor somebody yeah yeah i mean can you imagine just around christmas it's like don't go get near the no vick why you won't believe what you're gonna yeah you're gonna he wants a real tree he wants a real tree every year so he comes in and the whole neighborhood's got to carry it in. It's a tradition. It's a tradition for your neighbors. So most real Christmas trees come from two states. You want to guess what the number one state is?

Oregon and Washington. I don't think I care. Okay. All right. So one vote for Vermont, one for Oregonregon washington one for i don't care uh nick's correct i'm in the tree business i've worked in a lot of fields hallmark you see like those are the movies where you see them they go get a tree they go get like cut one day it's like someone's own land and they're like this is in there.

And they're, I mean, it seems like they're 30 miles out in the mountains. And you're like, that would be a nightmare. I think on the East coast, North Carolina is one of the big trees. You sent me a link to this study. Oh yeah. From Michigan state university. Michigan state. This is what Michigan state's doing.

They're doing studies. I thought you would like this. Christmas trees, dude. Which one's right for you? It kind of breaks down. Michigan state State. This is what Michigan State's doing. They're doing studies. I thought you would like this. Christmas trees, dude. Which one's right for you? It kind of breaks down. For Michigan State University. Yeah. For the tree.

Just helps you kind of figure out what kind of tree fits you best. So this is, see, this is what they're getting into at Michigan State. I think Douglas fir is a popular one. Yeah. Yeah. Do you have a. Good for them. You have a real.

Oh, you have a fake one. Yeah. They wrote. This is. They wrote. Yeah. This is a a. Good for them. You have a real. Oh, you have a fake one. Yeah, they wrote. This is. They wrote. Yeah, this is a sanctioned. Yeah. Sanctioned.

From the Department of Horticulture. It's academic research. Yeah. From Michigan State. Yeah. That's great. Updated from an original article. Yeah, they're just revamping old stuff.

Yeah. Go Spartans, huh? You know, somebody sent us Dusty. No, I think they mailed it to us, the Christmas ornament, Nateland Christmas ornament. Yes. And I got home yesterday and put it on the tree. Put it on the tree, yeah. Do you have a star on the top of your tree or an angel?

An angel. Angel. I've never had a star. Do you have anything in your house right now that's Christmas related? We would always have an angel. I think. We've got a couple things i don't yeah i have a yeah well you probably have that pole well i mean lucy is jewish

lucy's do you have a menorah menorah at the house it's a tonica going on right now yeah but i mean you kind of fit in where it's like you're not going to be a you're fine with just it would be great if somebody came and did it for me but i'm not i'm not gonna set up a bunch of stuff yeah well i mean people do that with the lights on the house you pay companies to come and they do that i think i've told this story before my dad we did christmas lights one year he left it up for probably three years christmas lights just at our house i think i would do that oh yeah just like a star that he made on the roof and uh and he's like i'm not going back up there yeah three years those lights rough and yeah i don't blame him just turn them off well you know like they've been coming

to neighborhoods and so the companies that put these that put lights on houses people uh you know they put them on like before thanksgiving because it's they just have so many to do. But I don't understand. Why do people turn them on? You're like, just don't turn them on until after Thanksgiving. Well, if there's so much that it's already visible either way, you might as well just crank them on.

No. I'm with him. If you have it, why not? If you got a big inflatable snowman in the front yard, just blow it up. Dude, it's like November 17th. Like it's too. I'm listening to Christmas music middle of November. Yeah, I don't know if I mind it being that early, man. It's like, God forbid we have a little holiday, you know, a little like fun and good spirits.

Yeah, it's the fun and the good spirits. It's like Christmas. It's a lot going on. And it's just a whole. And Thanksgiving is like, you're just kind of overriding. Christmas is such a bah, like in your face. And Thanksgiving is a little understated. And you're just crushing Thanksgiving where you're just going, you know.

It's like Thanksgiving's got to step it up. Thanksgiving is not about, it's about giving. It's about, what is it, about fellowship. Well, they got to sell their soul a little bit like Christmas did. They got to commercialize themselves a little better. They got to step it up. It goes from Halloween to Christmas as far as the commercialization. Well, yeah.

I mean, what do you expect Halloween and Christmas to back down? Because Thanksgiving is. No, I mean, Dusty doesn't even want them to exist. So we had to do this episode. Dusty's out of town. His ears are burning right now yeah the reason Christmas trees

even became a thing legend is 16th century evangelist famous it's the 1500s it is Martin Luther

not Martin Luther King Martin Luther the bad one according to the Catholics yeah I'm kidding I'm kidding. I'm kidding. He was great. He was walking through the woods, saw stars and lights, I guess from the stars, shining through a tree and brought it home and started decorating the tree.

Martin Luther. Yeah. Yeah. He invented the Christmas tree. That guy did a lot. According to this. The guy did a lot uh according to this the guy did a lot he didn't just break down the catholic church he never heard that before yeah i never that's pretty i would have thought uh saint saint nicholas would have been the whole you know right yeah well he did some stuff too but uh anyway and i learned this from peppa pig

does your daughter watch peppa pig what does she watch she watches coco melon and miss rachel yeah miss rachel's on youtube she's like a rock star yeah she's got an empire huh she does she does it's unbelievable yeah she could care less when i come in the room i'm like no she's and she just wants to keep going yeah my daughter's same way even when there's no TV on. No, I'm kidding. I wonder if she met that Rachel. Miss Rachel? Would they get it?

Miss Rachel will post videos sometimes of her doing stuff with other kids. When I went to New York for SNL, I was trying to tell them, I'm going to where Miss Rachel lives. And wouldn't that be amazing? I mean, she is a rock star to it's it's crazy two or three yeah yeah yeah i mean she she loves miss rachel so much my daughter she just she could care less when i come in she's just like get out of the way yeah she just i wonder if the kids would probably go to her. I think they would. Because they just would feel very comfortable with her. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Well, on Peppa Pig, which is British, I learned that they don't call it Santa Claus. They call him Father Christmas. In England, they call him Father Christmas. Yeah, that was British. I don't like that. You don't like that? Father Christmas?

Yeah. I also learned this, that they would call you a Clever's Clog. You ever heard that? What? Clever's Clog. What is that? It's someone like the smart one in the group. A Clever's Clog?

Can you Google Clever's Clog? Yeah. I'd be happy to. Yeah. As the Clever's Clog, I'd be happy to do that for you. I think that's right. They also say Happy Christmas instead of Merry Christmas. Oh, Clever Clogs.

I got the- Clever Clogs. Got it backwards happy Christmas. Oh, clever clogs. I got the. Clever clogs. Got it backwards. Yeah. Oh, I know what it is. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. They said happy Christmas.

Remember Shane from the Bagged Inn? Yeah. This Irish, they go, happy Christmas. You know, and they, instead of Merry Christmas. Yeah. It's like a little thing, but you just don't hear that. Yeah. And in Hawaii, they call him Kana Kaloka.

Kana. Kana, I'm not going to work here anymore. Office space. They say Mele Kaloka Maka, which means Merry Christmas. I kind of butchered that. Don Ho had a song. That'd be weird if you nailed it, to be honest with you. Don Ho.

Yeah. Yeah. You know that song? I don't know. Who's Don Ho? He's like the only Hawaiian singer I can tell you about. But you would know the song. I think about Christmas Vacation when Clark Griswold's looking out his window

at his imaginary swimming pool. That's the song that's playing. Do you have a favorite Christmas song that you like listening to Christmas music? I'm just down with it. I mean, the Ariana Grande song. I've never turned that off. Yeah, I don't think that's what people expect. Oh, my gosh.

I love it. I don't even know what you're talking about. She's got a great- Santa Tell Me? Santa Tell Me. Oh, I do know that song. I love it. I don't even know what you're talking about. He's got a great. Santa Tell Me? Santa Tell Me. Oh, I do know that song. I love it. I will just kind of play it and kind of, I just love it.

I think everybody listening was expecting to hear like, Oh, Holy Night. Yeah. Or like, Silent Night. Uh-huh. Yeah. And then Silent Night. Uh-huh.

And then you just give Ariana Grande Sanatali Sanatali's great There's a naughty version of it too On her second Christmas album That's the one he likes His daughter listens to it Why would you do that?

A naughty version? Yeah It's already a hit Let's just make it unappealing. Yeah. You know the song Rockin' Around the Christmas Street?

Yeah. So that was done by Brenda Lee when she was 13. She lives here in Nashville. And 65 years later, it's now the number one song on the radio.

Oh, wow. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah, I thought I heard about this. Yeah. Billboard number one song. I think for the last two weeks. Yeah. It's the thought I heard about this. Yeah. Billboard number one song, I think, for the last two weeks. Yeah.

It's the longest length of time any song's ever been between being number one. That song stinks, too. What? What are you talking about? I mean, that's one of those. That's bottom five Christmas. It's a great song. Why is it?

Why are you rocking around? What are you doing? Dancing around it? Like some kind of. Yeah. Who does that? Yeah, but it's fun this song never probably coking in home alone this song uh this song was never successful right

oh i thought it got to number one when it was first released oh no i thought it was like uh like that was the whole thing is like it did it and now it's very successful which is cool but you know i can't find that yeah it did not sell well until lee became a popular star a couple years later okay so yeah 1960 it was released in 1958 yeah yeah um wait you know from home a big resurgence due to the movie home alone yeah i like this incorrect i liked it yeah it's a fun song that's a movie i have to watch it if It's a fun song. That's a great song. I have to watch it at least once a year.

Maybe it's Jingle Bell Rock I'm thinking of that I don't like. That's a great song too. Yeah, it came out hard though. They both stink. Well, what's your favorite? Santa Baby?

I like Katy Perry's Christmas... Silence. The Mariah Carey all over Christmas. I don't mind Silence. I think sometimes Carey. All for Christmas. I don't mind silence. I think it's, I think sometimes it's good to be silent.

I think it's great to be silent. Yeah. I think you should, I try to, I'm trying to work on that. Yeah. I think you should sit. I know you should go.

Everybody should go. You should go sit in silence. Cause you, if the, it's, it's a very important thing to do. I've realized we just need a break. But I'm saying for Christmas, that would be your favorite song is silence.

Just don't turn it on. I would say Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Yeah. Something like that. What's that about? It's about the angels singing. What's the Sandy Patty? She sings a Christmas song.

I don't know. I think that's, I feel like. What about Tennessee Christmas by Amy Grant? Never heard. Yeah. You never heard that? Mm-hmm. Christmas, okay.

I think White Christmas is the best-selling song of all time. Really? It's a great song. Bing Crosby? I'm dreaming of a White Christmas. Mm--selling song of all time. Really? It's a great song. Bing Crosby? I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. Oh, okay. That's a sad song, isn't it? What's the one that's like really is actually a sad song?

Blue Christmas? I'll be home for Christmas if I'm in my dreams. Yeah, yeah. That's a sad one. Yeah. Because he's not home. He's in his dreams. Right?

But isn't he going to be home? So I don't know. Is that sad? I'll be home for Christmas. I'm not home. He's in his dreams. Right? But isn't he going to be home? So I don't know. Is that sad? I'll be home for Christmas. I'm coming home. If only in my dreams. That's the next line. But if your wife's like, when are you coming home?

I'll be home. Yeah. At the very end. In my dreams, I will. Oh, yeah. I'll be in spirit. If only in my dreams. Yeah.

I mean, this is the positive of not listening to the lyrics. Is that none of it means he at war. It's like a wartime. Maybe. I mean, when was when was Bing Crosby? I feel like this song is getting dark for the only time ever. It's like the happiest song. Like, I'll be home for Christmas.

And I'll be home for Christmas. You can count on me to be presents under the tree. I'll be home for Christmas. He's saying, I'll be home for Christmas. You can count on me.
